rematch! Edit
We are technically still in a battle and i am getting my butt kicked. however, i want toi do a rematch, since its kind of armored vs unarmored. i would fight your unarmored warrior with the maquiatl and halberd with my current monk, and remove the steel plates, or i would like to make an armored warrior to fight against your current armored guy. I will end our match early and write a battle because it is clear your going to win. I surrender, but want a more fair rematch.

Hope this helps! Omnicube1 talk|battles15:27, April 22, 2011 (UTC)
The Arbiter Edit
Well, i can think of maybe 2 warriors who can fight the arbiter.
1) Jet Bradley (Tron 2.0): Weapons: Charger Disc, Mesh Primitive, LOL Rifle (yes, that is the actual name, its a sniper rifle) unless the covenent carbine isn't a sniper type weapon (i get confused) to which he will use the Rod Rifles, lastly the Pranskter Bit
2) Teal'c(Stargate): Staff Blade, Za'at Pistol, Staff Canon, Jaffa Grenade.
Teal'c fits into the "Alien who betrayed his people to help the humans" style
Jet.. does not.. But i like tron so haha.
See how you go, you dont even have to choose them at all i dont mind.
If you need any help with information, weapons or pictures id be happy to help just leave a message
Thnak you leolab for giving be another battle idea: Mastercheif vs Sam Geideon.
Catfight to the death! Edit
This week on Joint Ops, we bring two incredibly vicious, and deadly women in combat against each other. Xenia Onatopp faces off against Shana "Scarlett" O'Hara
This concept of "wuv" irritates and infuriates us! - The King of Omicron Persei 8 16:06, April 23, 2011 (UTC)
Teal'c Edit
Teal'c 's species is called 'Jaffa' and was whats known as a First Prime among them. he was to take over command of the fleet of Apophis and become a Goa'uld (Goa'uld are evil paracitic aliens who enter the host, take over the mind.) System lord (meaning he would control a few systems which were potrayed by era's in earth human history, he would control a section of Egyptian culture). however, after he and his squad captured jack oniel and his team he was convinced to betray the Goa'uld and became apart of the Tau'ri (or humans of earth). since that time he has gone on almost every mission with oniel and the rest of SG-1 and given his knowledge of the universe thanks to the Goa'uld evolutionary trait of Genetic Memory. he basically posses any and all knowledge from any goa'uld or jaffa before him. his squad includes Jack Oniel, Samantha Carter, Daniel Jackson and Vala Mal Dorn (a former host of the goa'uld, she has lost all the abilities given to her by the parasite.. which include super strength, super agility and super healing). Teal'c is the only one to carry Jaffa Weapons with the rest of his team carrying earth weapons, normally rifles.
The Ma'Tok Staff (aka the Staff Weapon) is a naquadah powered anti-personel plasma blaster. it basically shoots out little balls of nuclear energy which cause a small schock wave (and an explosion) and any one caught within it will almost always die. it is a sort of one shot causes one kill weapon. no iron sight, very inaccurate and very long.
It also doubles as a melee weapon with a club at the other end. this section also houses the power source for the energy cannon and as such the melee weapon has a little extra 'kick' to it. it is not instantly leathal but generally if you are beaten enough you die. have a look at some specs
the Tok'Kal (or the Shock Grenade) is goa'uld grenades at there best. in earth standards it is the combination of a flashbang, frag grenade and yep you guessed it a naquadah energy source. when it is set off it has the chance to blind, deafen and confuse the target with cases reported of unconciousness. the explosion is almost never lethal unless you happen to be sitting on it but when you deaf, blind and dissoriented a blast from the staff weapon will do the trick. here, have a look
Something tells me we should do a sort of Joint Ops thing haha. so yes this is a summary of everything i can tell you about Teal'c, his weapons and what they do. Recap: Teal'c Species = Jaffa. He has Superhuman Healing, strength and agility. his weapon is a mega-uber taser laser, a super charged club, a nuclear plasma canon and a flash-KA-BOOM grenade.

Battle of Mysterious Evil.... thingsEdit
For those not in the know at least about Eternal Darkness (and especially with both series), you might have some idea how I came up with this match. One of the central plot devices of Eternal is a book called the Tome of Eternal Darkness (I wonder if that might be evil!?). Now, unfortunately, I couldn't make this a fight between the Tome of Eternal Darkness and the Book of Darkness, because the Tome, unlike the Book of Darkness, does not have a powerful humanoid "will". So, I used on the Lovecraftian horrors associated with the Tome of Eternal Darkness, so without further ado:
Ulyaoth, the mysterious, giant, cnidarian-like monstrosity with powerful magic, that predates the human race, and intends to destroy them and take their place.
The Will of the Book Darkness, the humanoid female will of a powerful 666-paged, dark magical artifact.

The BattleEdit
Link suddenly ran to the forest when the two group of warriors clashed, unbeknownst to him a shadowy figure is seen jumping from tree to tree not far behind the the Hyrulian. Link then stops inside a treeless section of the forest; he senses that he is not alone as it seems. Thy Hyrulian warrior puts his sword and shield on the defense.
"Gryaaaaaah!" A voice shouts out from above.
Link then turns around to see where the scream came from and looked up. Suddenly the shadowy figure jumps up out of vast trees, the light then shuns upon it , revealing the figure to be Prince Dastan about to swing his Sword of the Might Warrior at the Hyrulian in mid flight.
Link raises up his Hylian Shield, clashing with the Prince's swinging blade: sparks flinging on impact. Dastan quickly kicks both his feet into the shield and does a back flip in mid air before landing on the ground. Both warriors quickly get into their battle stances. The two warriors then begin to walk in circles, their eyes staring at each other constantly.
"Heh. You're faster than i thought strange one." Dastan commented.
The Hylian didn't respond back, he only stared at his opponent with deep content of ending his opponent's life.
The Prince simply smiles. "I see how it is then. Very well, come at it strange one." Dastan taunts
Link then charges at the Persion with high speed. "Hyaaaaaaa!" He screams out loud. The Hylian warrior swings his Master sword at the mighty prince, Datran quickly parries the attack in quick time. Link counters by trying to slash his opponent downwards to the left. In a split second, Dastan parries the attack again. Link then tries to slash the Persian prince in multiple direction, but in quick fashion, Dastan blocks them all with little ease.
The Prince hits his opponent's sword in melee and tries to slash his opponent's in his open left side, But the Hylian elf blocks the attack with his shield. The two warriors were now in a deep struggle, when suddenly Link pushes the Prince back, causing him to stagger back in the process. The Hylian warrior quickly grabs a boomeerang with his free shielded hand and throws it at his opponent in high speeds.
Dastan quickly looks up and sees the flying boomerang mere inches away from his face. He then pulls out his Dagger of Time activates before the boomerang even touches his face. A bright light soon appears inside and suddenly, time begin reverse backwards. To the time where Dastan was mere seconds away from slashing Link. Time then sets back normal with Dastan now having memory of what fatal mistake he made in the past. In mere seconds, The Prince quickly turns around behind the Hylian warrior and slashes him behind the back.
"Gah" Link screams, stumbling forward afterwards. The Hylian warrior growls in anger and quickly turns around, stabbing his sword into his opponent's left shoulder. "Ngh!" Dastan gasps in pain as he felt the blade plunge into flesh. Link then twists and pulls the blade, causing Dastan excruchiating pain. "Ha!" The Hylian warrior then tries to stab his sword into his enemie's heart, but Dastan blocks the attack by putting his sword in front of the blow. The prince then tries to stab his foe with his dagger, but the Hylian blocks the attack with his shield and pushes the Persian away. Link counters by striking with multiple jabs at his enemy. Dastan parry his opponent's attacks with his Sword and Dagger in a fast pace, before he looks him and Link in a tight struggle.
The two warrior's blades were now in deep contact, both of them trying to tip the other off. The struggle finally comes to a close when Link suddenly knocks Dastan's word out of his hand. The Hylian warrior then slams his shield into Dastan's face, breaking his nose in the process. The mighty Prince falls down to the ground in the process. Link raises his sword and prepares to lay the final blow, but Dastan raises his Dagger at the last moment; a bright light flashes and soon, Link's body begins to slow down; the blade moves in a slow pace towards his face still. Dastan quickly rolls out of the way and grabs his sword laying on the ground. The Persian prince gets up off the ground and slices the Hylian's arm off, blood spurting from the wound. Dastan quickly finishes his foe by stabbing him straight in the chest before time finally turns back to normal. Link suddenly felt something plunge into his chest, blood soon begins to pool from his mouth trailing across his chin.
" You put up a good fight strange one." Dastan said, he then twist his blade inside the wound, causing Link to spurt more blood from his mouth.
"But this is where your path of blood ends." The Prince pulls his sword out of the Hylian's chest. Link soon falls onto his knees-his eyes staring blankly into nothingness- before toppling onto the ground, completly dead.
Dastan wipes the blood off his sword and walks away.

Link raises his sword and prepares to lay the final blow, but Dastan raises his Dagger at the last moment; a bright light then flashes, but before its powers could be activated Link's sword sidden clashes against the dagger at that moment. The sword suddenly breaks through the dagger, shattering into a million diamond like shards. "What!?" Dastan eyes widen as he sees his prized possession completly shattered in front of his eyes. The sword then cuts through the Persian's forehead-slicing the inside of his brains- killing him instantly.
"Hnn" Link grunts,he then pulls his sword out of the Persian's head; Dastan's head falls onto the ground, dead. The Hylian warrior wipes the blood off his Master Sword and stares at his deceased opponent for a brief moment before walking off.

- "Can't accept that I'm right?" Are you fucking kidding me? You are such an arrogant asshole!
- Ranting? The fucking post is called, Wes Ranting. Try reading my freaking post, then ask questions.
- Of bitching and moaning. I do the former, not the latter.
- I bitch about a lot of shit. I don't have any battles up. But, you never answered my question: Are my points valid?"

- I had no beef with other admins when I mentioned my idea for the pic on this chat
- It is impossible, repeat, Impossible, to find a good pic of Og Online I can use (the only one was horribly done and oversized him), so I used a pic from Magic: the Gathering that was closest to him

[This post is based on a lecture given by Ariel David and I on the effects of IP networks on visual quality in video over IP applications]
One of the biggest obstacles of the video conferencing industry has long been the user experience. Early video conferencing systems suffered from poor quality video and low fidelity audio, as well as great difficulties in establishing and maintaining connection for the conference duration. Most of these issues were solved with advances in processor speed, audio and video coding algorithms and network infrastructure improvement. But even today's video conferencing experience – with high definition video, wide-band audio and always-on networks – is not flawless, and the main Achilles heel is, as always, the network.
The Achilles heel of High Definition – available bandwidth
This is true for video over IP in general – IPTV, video streaming, web casting, you name it. Whether it's the network one is connected to at the office, home or on a mobile handset – bandwidth is expensive, and therefore bandwidth is limited. And transmitting video at reasonable bit rates over that bandwidth is not trivial, and the affect the bandwidth has on visual quality is significant.
Talking heads
It can be said that video conferencing is much "easier", in terms of content complexity, than the other video over IP domains, usually featuring a bunch of "Talking Heads" (also known as CP). Still, as can be seen in the table below, even at 480p, an endpoint requires around 1 Mbps for good visual quality, and almost twice at 720p (HD).
Insufficient bandwidth
A 1Mbps network connection is not a problem in a modern enterprise. But if video conferencing is deployed all over the organization (as it should), very soon the existing infrastructure would become a bottleneck, and bandwidth would drop, causing an array of nasty artifacts, those annoyances that make your video terribly unpleasant. And while other aspects, such as video codec features, scene type and source type, also influence the visual quality, it seems that network related artifacts are the most frequent and most annoying.
Insufficient bandwidth will result in packet loss, which leads to lousy video. There are basically two ways for an endpoint to deal with that – reduce the bit rate and/or increase the compression. Reducing the bit rate causes a drop in visual quality, as can be seen above. Modern endpoints reduce the resolution (picture size) together with the bit rate, but anyway the experience suffers. Higher compression rate decreases the visual quality even further.
And so we are left with the following, seven deadly sins – I mean artifacts – of video over IP:
The Seven Deadly Sins
1. Packet Loss
If packets are missing, whole areas in the video frame are displayed wrong. This causes ugly artifacts to appear in various ways, all of them very unpleasant
Packet loss in a multipoint video conference.
2. Trails
These are vertical lines or colored areas, which usually trail an object while it's moving. This usually happens when the bandwidth is insufficient, as movement requires more bits.
Left: A scene featuring trails on the person on the left. Right: zoom in on the trails.
3. Blockiness
Blockiness is usually visible on moving objects and backgrounds (walls, furniture). This is caused by a high compression rate.
Left: original Right: blockiness effect
4. Posterization
Posterization is the loss of color depth. This means that background and other even color spaces look blurred, and lose the sharp transiency between them. Again, this is caused by a high compression rate.
Left: source Right: posterization effect
5. Noise
Noise is a general name for any "weird" looking squares and spots in the video. These are usually caused by packet loss or erroneous packets.
Random noisy artifacts on video
6. Mosquitoes (Gibbs effect)
Mosquitoes, or in their formal name "Gibbs Effect", are dots in various level of intensity which surround edges. This is caused by a too high compression rate.
Left: visible mosquitoes on the face. Right: zoom in on the face.
7. Scaling
As endpoints lower the resolution, when bit rate drops, the picture on the other end is smaller and has to be scaled up to display on a large screen. Scaling up a low resolution picture is very hard, and often the visual quality suffers.
Left: qCIF image (source). Right: Scaled up image.
When it comes to visual quality, everyone is an expert. Whether you're watching a video streamed over the internet, attending a video conference with peers around the world or watching the news on your mobile handset – you don't want anything interfering with your experience, and definitely not those pesky artifacts.
There are ways to remove, or at least reduce, those annoyances. Those methods mostly involve fancy post-processing algorithms. But this, I fear, is a matter for another post.

CASR Background ~ CF Vehicles
This Background Index covers Canadian Forces vehicles (or vehicle projects) covered in this section. It is not a comprehensive listing of Canadian vehicles.Note: Individual vehicles/vehicle types are listed by subject, not chronologically.
Background — CF Vehicles / Vehicle Project Articles Index
Light Armoured Vehicles Afghan-standard LAVs – LAV III LORIT LAV III LORIT ( LAV Operational Require- ments Integration Task ) is to combine and rationalize the many survivability upgrades made to LAV IIIs in Afghanistan since the 2006 re-deployment to Kandahar Province. The Light Armoured Vehicle - Remote Weapon System The LAV-RWS Project is in the news again. The claim that these LAV TUA conversions were "rushed" into the field in Afghanistan is a bit rich after the recent slamming that LAV-RWS Project management recently received from the OAG's audit of this project. But the LAV-RWS are now in Kandahar - although only 18 vehicles will ever serve there. LAV-H – Future of the LAV III Fleet ? There are rumblings about replacementsor rebuild/upgrades for LAV IIIs. LAV-H could be either. This evolved LAV from GDLS is better protected and can handle heavier operational weights due to increased power and a stronger suspension. Textron Systems candidate for TAPV Textron's Mobile Survivable Vehicle is a development of the M1117 Guardian ASV. By comparison MSV for TAPV is higher, better protected, and turretless or, rather, to be equipped with a RWS. Oshkosh M-ATV candidate for TAPV Oshkosh Defence unveiled its TAPV candidate in Feb 2011. A Canadianised version of the US military's M-ATV (or MRAP-All Terrain Vehicle), this TAPV entrant seems well-sized for the Recce component. But as a seven-seat APC? Force Protection Timberwolf TAPV Team Timberwolf is offering a Cougar tailored to the CF's TAPV requirement. This Timberwolf retains the Cougar's blast-resistant hull but with a shorter crew cab and independent suspension. The RWS proposed has two weapons. BAE Hägglunds Alligator for TAPV One of three BAE Systems vehicles to be submitted for TAPV, the Hägglunds Alligator remains enigmatic. This 6x6 is derived from Sweden's SEP series of hybrid-electric demonstrator vehicles. Details on this conventionally-driven Alligator are sketchy but it retains the modularilty of the SEP hybrid vehicles. BAE Systems RG35 RPU for TAPV Land Systems OMC, the South African vehicle division of BAE Systems built a 6x6 demonstrator. That concept has been completely redesigned to tailor it to CF needs. The resulting RG35 RPU is one BAE/GDLS-C entrant for TAPV. CCV – the Close Combat Vehicle Project CCV would be Infantry Fighting Vehicles able to stay with the CF's Leopard 2 tank regardless of terrain. Part of FLCS' Future Combat Vehicle Systems, CCV was put to the Government as a high priority just as the Canadian economy joined the global meltdown. CCV's future is now unknown. CCV – the Close Combat Vehicle Project – Redux Due to this project's many twists and turns, the Close Combat Vehicle Project must be revisited. This Infantry Fighting Vehicle project has never had the priority of the larger (but muddled) TAPV Project. As a result, the CCV has stalled repeatedly and candidates (real or potential ) come and go. This is an overview of the CCV Project. BAE Hägglunds CV9035 Mk III CCV The CV9035 Mk III is the CV90 variant used by Denmark and the Netherlands. CV9035 is now the only tracked vehicle being considered for the CCV Project. Other nation's CV9035s have had local turret assembly. It is not clear whether BAE Systems, if successful in CCV, will be offering full vehicle assembly in Canada. CCV Project Candidate: Nexter VBCI 25 Against all expectation, a wheeled IFV was the second official CCV candidate. Nexter submitted its 8x8 VBCI 25 – essentially the French Army's VBCI VCI. While a wheeled submission surprised many, so too did the aluminum armour and a 1-man turret armed with a gun in the same calibre as LAV III. CCV Project Candidate: Nexter VBCI 30 Nexter's VBCI was designed to accompany tanks much like Canada's CCV Project. IFV suggests a medium calibre gun and Nexter has hedged its bets. The VBCI 30 has a 2- man turret armed with 30mm Bushmaster II. The Italian turret provides better 'situational awareness' and firepower than VBCI 25. CCV Candidate – GDLS-C Piranha 5 Piranha 5 is an enlarged and heavier armoured evolution of the CF LAV III (which also sprang from Switzerland's Mowag). Piranha 5 for CCV is armed with a Rheinmetall Lance turret as per erstwhile competitor, the Artec Boxer With the winnowing of the CCV Project, several major (or expected candidates) have been withdrawl or not submitted. The pages listed below have now been eliminated. 'IFV Close': IFV/CCV Marder Update Refurbished ex-German Marders were initially rejected for CCV. Rheinmetall persisted with its heavily-uparmoured Marder rebuild as IFV/CCV. In the end Rheinmetall Canada did not submit any CCV candidate chosing instead to become a partner to erstwhile rival GDLS-Canada. Artec Boxer (KMW & Rheinmetall) Boxer is a very large wheeled 8x8. As an IFV, Rheinmetall-Canada offered a Lance MTS turret with 30mm Mauser cannon. That same two-man turret is now offered on GLDS-C's Piranha 5.
Armoured Support Vehicles The Armoured Heavy Support Vehicle DND has ordered 86 Actros AHSVS for Afghanistan. Cargo AHSVS will replace HLVWs, there is also a tank transporteron order for the Leopard 2 A6M tanks. Tropco Tank Transport Combo (Leased) Tropcos are the standard Dutch Army tank transporter. DND leased Tropcos for use in Afghanistan to move Leopard tanks with armoured DAF trucks and Broshuis trailers. Force Protection's Cougar and Buffalo EROC Canada has order five each of FPI's Cougar and Buffalo blast-protected vehicles as part of a new "Expedient Route-Opening Capability" for EOD( Explosive Ordnance Disposal ) in Afghanistan.Also see: new South Africa Mine Detector Vehicle, the RSD DCD-Dorbyl Husky Unarmoured Support Vehicles Medium Support Vehicle System MilCOTS On 09 Jan 2009, DND announced the winner of their MSVS militarized commercial off-the-shelf project. With only one bidder, no surprise that the $274 M contract went to Navistar Defense. Some 1300 MSVS MilCOTS trucks will be built by Navistar Defense in Garland, TX. Direct Fire Support (DFS) Vehicles Distinguishing the Leopard 2A4M The Leopard 2A4M CAN, recently deployed to Kandahar, is a reworked ex-Dutch Leopard 2A4 refurbished and upgraded with greater mobility and near Leopard 2A6M protection levels. Five Leopard 2A4M CAN are deployed. Dutch Leopard 2 A4 and 2 A6Ms The rumours are confirmed. Canada will lease 20 Leopard 2 A6Ms from Germany. The mine-protected tanks will later be replaced by 20 2 A6Ms and 80 Leopard 2 A4s bought from Holland. These tanks will arrive in Fall 2007. Leopard 2 A6M – ein neues Panzer ? Canada has been arranging to lease 20 Leopard 2 A6M mine-protected tanksfor Afghanistan and (possibly) to also buy 80 ex-German Leopard 2 A4 tanks. Leopard C2 Tanks Shipped to Kandahar Leopard tanks are now in Kandahar but a surprise was in the first shipment – heavy armour for the Leo and a recovery Taurus. Support Vehicles for the CF Leopard Tanks Although not direct fire support vehicles in any way, support vehicles make it possiblefor tanks to perform DFS. The Leopard-based support vehicles in Afghanistan are: Badger Armoured Engineering Vehicles and the Taurus Armoured Recovery Vehicle. HIAV – Heavy Infantry Assault Vehicle Conspicuous in its absense in the recent vehicle announcements, whither HIAV? An HIAV is the heavy form of armoured personnel carrier. Similar vehicles have a combat engineering application. Most, if not all HIAVs are tank conversions. And there may lie the root of difficulty for DND. LAV TUA ( LAV TOW-Under-Armour) Project LAV TUA is the simplest of the three DFS projects. As an expediency, the turret from the tracked M113 TUA is being upgraded and transfered to a LAV III hull. LdSH(RC) are field testing the wheeled TUAs. [Also see: project vehicles Mobile Gun System and Multi-Mission Effects Vehicle] Armoured Patrol and Reconnaissance Vehicles Special Operations Vehicles – Update A selection of new vehicle types for CF special forces is reportedly near. There are suggestions that the Supacat Jackal and AM General's GMV-S are the lead contenders. Despite the SOIQ commonality demands, the Wolf is not in the running. The Armoured Patrol Vehicle Project (APV) was to meet an Immediate Operational Requirement (IOR) for the CF deployment to Kandahar. Bids were submitted for three blast-resistant candidates: KMW with their Dingo 2 , Thales Canada with the ADI Bushmaster , and GDLS-Canada with the winning RG-31 Nyala APV. [Also see: Ride Sharing – Nyala APV, Bushmaster, and a Dutch Chinook Swap.] Special Operations Vehicles (SOV SOIQ) DND has issued a Solicitation of Interest and Qualifications for 100 new SOVs (80 SR Special Reconnaissance and 20 QR Quick Reaction vehicles) for CSOR and JTF2. We summarize the SOIQ and review probable candidates. These are the Supacat Jackal MWMIK and Rheinmetall Wolf LIV (SO). LARV – the Light Armoured Reconnaissance Vehicle The LARV, announced in January 2006, was described as a "mini-Coyote". The planned vehicle is meant to fill a slot between large recce Coyotes and small G-wagon C&Rs. The LARV Project may be cut back for the SOV. Light Utility Vehicles Origins of the Swedish Bv206 MOSV The CF Bv206 'Tonka's have direct origins in another Swedish articulated vehicle, the Volvo Bv202. Both are cleverly engineered vehicles making good use of materials. At a stretch, a Canadian conceptual connection can also be made, see CL-70/-91 below. Canadair CL-70 RAT & CL-91 Dynatrac While Bombardier is famous for Canadian snowmobiles, pioneering work was done on articulated all-terrain vehicles at aircraft maker Canadair. Conceptually at least, two little-known Canadair vehicles anticipated Sweden's more successful Bv206 MOSV. CF G-wagon variants and their Armour Protection The CF has fielded three variants of the Light Utility Vehicle, Wheeled (LUVW) or G-wagon – the 'Basic', MP, and Command and Reconnaissance (C&R). TheG-wagon is a huge improvement over the earlier Iltis but add-on armour made G-wagons more vulnerableto attack than the CF's larger and more heavily armoured vehicles in Afghanistan. Light Armoured Vehicles Armoured Personnel Carrier Life Extension Project The APCLE was an M113 APC modernization project. The goal was to produce support vehicles for a LAV III-dominated force quickly and at comparatively little expense. Instead, costs soared and APCLE would be cut back. But the resulting TLAVs went on to perform vital service in Afghanistan. AVGPs: Armoured Vehicle, General Purpose AVGPs were the CF's original series of wheeled light armoured vehicles. The AVGPs consisted of Grizzly infantry section carriers, Husky ARV repair/recovery vehicles, and Cougar DFSV fire support vehicles. The last surviving AVGPs are either out on loan to the African Union, being sold off, or to become gate guardians. AVGP Section Carriers for the African Union Canada sent 100 CF Grizzly ISCs (plus five Husky recovery AVGPs) to aid the AU Mission in Sudan. Crew training was done in Senegal prior to the AU peacekeepers deploying to war-torn Darfur region.

Film review
'Magic Mike' What: A male stripper takes a newcomer under his wing and instructs him in the fine arts of partying, picking up women and making plenty of money. Where playing: Carmike, Coldwater, Huntington 7, Rave Running time: 1 hour, 50 minutes Rating: R for language, brief graphic nudity, pervasive sexual content and some drug use. 3 stars out of four |
| ||
» More | ||
Steven Soderbergh makes movies about sexy subjects, then strips away the sexiness about them. He is fascinated by process, often to a clinical extent.
In recent years this has been true of "The Girlfriend Experience" (starring real-life porn star Sasha Grey as a high-priced Manhattan call girl), "Contagion" (about a viral outbreak that claims lives worldwide) and "Haywire" (featuring mixed-martial artist Gina Carano as a special-ops agent seeking revenge for a betrayal). Even the glitzy, star-studded "Ocean's 11," one of Soderbergh's most pleasingly escapist films, takes its time laying out every detail of its ambitious Las Vegas casino heist.
Now he's directed "Magic Mike," about the cheesy world of male stripping at a cheesy club in Tampa, Fla.
Yes, the dance numbers themselves exude masculine, muscular heat — how could they not with guys like Channing Tatum, Matthew McConaughey, Alex Pettyfer and Joe Manganiello strutting on stage in barely-there costumes?
But Soderbergh and writer Reid Carolin take us behind the scenes and linger over the minutiae of these performers' daily lives. They go thong shopping. They rehearse their routines. They lift weights backstage. And they count their dollar bills when "It's Raining Men" has stopped blaring from the sound system and their work is done.
Even the after-hours hook-ups with liquored-up ladies from the audience feel like one more obligatory step, like brushing your teeth before going to bed.
It all seems glamorous and thrilling at first for Pettyfer's character, Adam, who becomes known as The Kid. A 19-year-old neophyte in this neon-colored world, he serves as our wide-eyed guide once the more established Mike (Tatum) recruits him to be a dancer at the Club Xquisite male revue.
This is a movie that's tailor-made for groups of friends to get together and giggle and ogle at the spectacle of it all. And it is a lot of fun, but it's also more substantial than you might expect and more mundane.
Tatum, who's also a producer on the film, understands the allure of this lifestyle: He lived it when he was The Kid's age, briefly working as a male stripper before breaking into acting, and "Magic Mike" is kinda-sorta inspired by that time.
Anyone who's seen "Step Up," the 2006 movie that put him on the map, knows what a gifted dancer he is. But here, he's just mesmerizing: confident, creative, acrobatic and, above all, seductive. 'Cause that's the whole point.
"Magic Mike" follows one long booze-infused summer as Mike, The Kid and their co-stars work the ladies while their boss, stripper-turned-club-owner Dallas (McConaughey), makes plans to expand to Miami. This is an excellent fit for McConaughey, who's doing some of the best work of his career lately between this, "Bernie" and the upcoming thriller "Killer Joe."
Also showing an intriguing presence is newcomer Cody Horn as The Kid's older sister, Brooke, who tries in vain to help him find a real job. She has a strong but laid-back presence, and she remains the no-nonsense voice of reason when The Kid's hard-partying tendencies start spinning out of control.
Yes, "Magic Mike" is a bit of a formulaic cautionary tale about the perils of having too much, too soon. And the character who's the catalyst for The Kid's inevitable downfall, played by Riley Keough, is barely introduced and never feels fleshed out enough as a legitimate threat.
Mike helps keep this fantasy world grounded in truth; a self-described entrepreneur, he strips — and works construction jobs, and details cars — all in the hopes of saving enough money to start his own custom furniture business. There's nothing magical or even sexy about that: It's just the cold, hard reality of our time.
Come for the beefcake, stay for the economics lesson.

Sheriff's deputy pleads guilty to DUI-related incident
Diedre Quenell sentenced to work service
Posted: 01/31/2013
Last Updated:
311 days ago
SAN DIEGO - A sheriff's deputy who got into a struggle with police officers when they arrested her on suspicion of driving while intoxicated outside a Carmel Mountain fast-food restaurant pleaded guilty Thursday to misdemeanor charges of DUI and disturbing the peace.
Diedre R. Quenell, 43, was immediately sentenced by Judge Robert F. O'Neill to 10 days of public work service and ordered to pay a fine of $2,064, according to Gina Coburn of the San Diego City Attorney's Office.
Officers responding to a report of a woman driving erratically in a parking lot near the McDonald's in the 11900 block of Carmel Mountain Road took Quenell into custody shortly after midnight last Aug. 15, according to San Diego police.
Police said Quenell was uncooperative with the officers as they detained her and was taken to jail. She was later released on $2,500 bail.

Open source booming in Asia
Open source code is now used by over 70 per cent of software developers in Asia, according to a new report.
The number of developers using open source in the region has surged more than 40 per cent in just three years, Evans Data Corporation revealed in a recent survey of software engineers.
"Developers who faced difficult coding assignments had a harder time before open source software became common," said the research firm.
"This is because the developer can see every bit of [the code] to see how a [software application] functions and how it can be modified. This is much less awkward than working with proprietary binaries which operate as black boxes."
Linux has proved especially popular with Asia's many hardware manufacturers, as it gives them access to tried and tested software at a low cost.
Evans Data questioned 396 software developers throughout Asia Pacific, including China, India, Japan, Australia and New Zealand.
Some 70 per cent of respondents said they used open source modules in their applications, 19 per cent said they did not, and 10 per cent did not know. Evans Data's last such survey in 2003 showed that 50 per cent used open source.
Alarmed by licensing fees and the high cost of some proprietary software, numerous countries in Asia have made at least some effort to foster open source development.

text: I should know better by now, but I spent two days tracking down a mysterious problem with RK4, IDL's Runga-Kutta integration routine. RK4 calls a user-supplied function, passing it two variables, X and Y. Result = RK4( Y, Dydx, X, H, Derivs [, /DOUBLE] ) X is a scalar, but Y can be an array. The problem is that when Y is a scalar (or a one-element array), RK4 calls your user-supplied function with a *one-element array*, and IDL silently truncates math operations involving arrays to the shorter array. (Normally I do argument- checking that would have caught the problem, but I skipped it this time, since the user-supplied function is called hundreds of thousands of times.) I'm posting just in case somebody else runs into mysterious problems with RK4, but also to ask, does anybody actually make use of array truncation? (And why you would want to?) I've always considered it a huge mistake in the language, and something ITTVIS should eliminate, even it would be painful for them.

He was just a little lad,
and on the weeks first day.
Was wandering home from Sunday School,
and dawdling all the way.
He scuffed his shoes into the grass,
he found a caterpillar.
He found a fluffy milk weed pod,
and blew out all the filler.
A bird's nest in a tree o'er head
so wisely placed on high.
Was just another wonder
that caught his eager eye.
A neighbor watched his zig-zag course
and hailed him from the lawn.
Asked him where he'd been that day,
and what was going on.
"I've been to Bible School" he said,
and turned a piece of sod.
He picked up a wiggly worm and said,
"I've learned a lot about God."
"A very fine way", the neighbor said,
"for a boy to spend his time".
"If you'll tell me where God is,
I'll give you a brand new dime."
Quick as a flash his answer came!
Nor were his accents faint.
"I'll give you a dollar mister,
if you'll tell me where God ain't!"

Our latest wing-tagged Golden Eagle (GOEA) encounter 1/02/13Posted by cirestone in Untagged |
Our latest wing-tagged Golden Eagle (GOEA) encounter is part of our mark/re-capture project on GOEAs captured during fall migration near Lincoln, MT.
The trail cam image shows eagle tag #195 feeding on a deer carcass near McCoy, CO. The camera was set-up by a private landowner who contacted CO Parks & Wildlife to learn more about the tagged eagle. GOEA 195 looked feather perfect (excepting the blue wing tags, of course).

Also, just found out that this guy is using my pictures and creeping on people: http://www.okcupid.com/profile/erigre/photos. Please do not get catfished by him, please instead get catfished by me. By which I mean, come meet me, I look like my pictures, and then let me take you to a wonderful catfish dinner (vegans and vegetarians: you will be forced to eat neither cat nor fish. We'll work it out, somehow).
I would rather be despised for who I am than loved for who I'm not (though to be frank, neither is what I would call "livin' the dream").
Serious about being silly, seek complex simplicity and dualistic without duplicity. (I'm of two minds about dualism, but they both agree that it's false).
I love words with friends and at times feel like I am friends with words. I'm stable and mercurial, a good listener and an excellent speaker.
I am really busy, but I do my best to make time for exciting people. I feel at times like I'm dancing on the line between the humanities and the sciences, but since dancing is a humanity, that is the side towards which I tilt, a whirling dervish twirling in a lab coat he doesn't deserve. I have an ecstatic relationship with the natural world and its funniest monkeys, the Homophobic Sapien (really we're more closely related to apes, that was just a genetic jape. Please don't be homophobic, or in any other way full of fear or hate).
My old profile also read: Please be kind, laid back, hot, smart. Could break a tooth on an icy uptight tart.
Oh, hey, this seems relevant: I am wrong sometimes. Whoops!

"Otherside" is a song by the Red Hot Chili Peppers, released in 2000.[1] It was the third single from their album Californication, and confronts the battles ex-junkies have with their prior addictions. The single was highly successful peaking at number 14 on the Billboard Hot 100, the fourth highest ever for the band; and number one on the US Modern Rock Tracks, which was, at the time, the fifth for the band. The song remained at number one on this chart for 13 consecutive weeks, one of the longest runs at the top of that chart.
Music video[edit]
The video was directed by Jonathan Dayton and Valerie Faris in a black-and-white/monochrome Gothic style similar to Robert Wiene's The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari, all influenced by German Expressionist art. Elements of Cubism and work by the graphic artist M. C. Escher are also seen in the video.
A cartoonish story line is juxtaposed upon the song; that of a young man's dream sequence. The band members appear dressed in black in unusual locations, with props intended to appear as surreal instruments. Throughout the video Anthony Kiedis with his short, platinum hair is seen in a castle tower. His stage persona is different and quite dark when compared to his more energetic performances in other videos. John Frusciante plays a rope down a long corridor as if a guitar. Flea is hanging on telephone wires and playing them as if they were a bass guitar, and Chad Smith is up on a tower with a rotating medieval clock that serves as his drum kit.[2]
Jonathan Dayton: "We did look at Caligari, and we looked at a lot of German Expressionist film. But it was also very important to avoid 'Caligari.' It was both inspiration and something to work around, because it has such a strong, specific style, and there have been other videos that have completely ripped it off."
Valerie Faris: "We didn't look at 'Calagari' all that much, really. We did, but then we just left it. We did look at a lot of the works of the futurist artists from the '30s, and the illustrations of the surrealists and from cubism. We were inspired more by paintings than by films…"[citation needed]
In 2009, Seattle producer Ryan Lewis sampled the song as a backdrop for his song of the same name with the rapper Macklemore. The song depicted Macklemore's own personal struggles as well as the wider problems that the hip hop community has with drug abuse.[3]
In 2010, house duo Third Party made an unofficial remix of the song. The remix garnered considerable attention, but was never released. It was made official and released by Warner Bros. in 2013.

German pop singer Mandy Capristo has covered this song on her album Grace.

Nice set donna dyer from boynton Beach, FL– Verified Buyer– Top 1000 Reviewer This set is nice but not as "cushy" as I would have liked. It was the only one that reclines completely but could have used some extra padding. The color is just like the picture which goes well in our media room. |
[...] Martin from Cambridge, On. Canada [...]. Did I mention the seating is awesome!!!Thank you. |
I would recommend buying penny95949 from Grass Valley, CA Very nice quality. |

Safeway Meat Clerk Reinstated After Fight
By editor
Ryan Young saw a pregnant woman being kicked by her boyfriend. He leaped out from behind the meat counter and intervened. Safeway suspended him, citing a zero-tolerance policy for workplace violence. But after the union took up his cause and people boycotted the store, Safeway reinstated Young, calling his action "commendable."

Lake Logan dredging could reduce flood danger

Removing sediment from Lake Logan would not only benefit its owner, Evergreen Packaging, it could potentially save homes and businesses from flooding, according to a study that was recently completed by McGill Associates.
"If we're successful, we could lower the lake level, hold the floodwaters, and decrease impact," said Joel Storrow, president of McGill Associates.
Evergreen Packaging primarily uses the lake to maintain the water flow necessary for its paper mill operations. Lowering the lake level would increase water storage capacity for Evergreen, while simultaneously holding back floodwater that could potentially damage properties located downstream. Increasing the lake's capacity would therefore remove properties from the floodplain.
Just how many properties would be saved by dredging Lake Logan is dependent on how much sediment is removed. Lowering the lake by 10 feet would remove 15 structures from the flood plain. Dredging 15 feet from the lake would save 23 structures, while lowering Lake Logan 20 feet would save 29 properties.
Evergreen says it is only comfortable with dropping the lake by 10 feet, however, due to fears that filling up a lake that's 15 or 20 feet deeper during a drought would prove challenging.
McGill has compiled preliminary cost estimates, which show it would take $1.8 million to draw down the lake by 15 feet; $6.8 million to drop the lake 15 feet; and $9.8 million to dredge 20 feet.
Storrow said he plans to pursue funding from the Federal Emergency Management Association, which could potentially provide 75 percent of the cost.
However, the recession means FEMA, like many other agencies, has less funding to dole out in grants.
"This is a very competitive program," said Storrow. "This isn't a slam dunk."
However, because McGill's study incorporated floodplain mapping from the state and the Army Corp of Engineers, it can back up its claims that dredging the lake would save homes, thereby making its application more competitive.
The study was commissioned after the devastating 2004 floods with state and federal aid funds. The Town of Canton received enough aid to fund 50 percent of the study, while Haywood County and Evergreen provided 25 percent each.

MARTINEZ, Alberto. ESTUDIO DE LA POBREZA URBANA EN CINCO COMUNIDADES DE LA CIUDAD DE CALI. Cuad. Econ. [online]. 2007, vol.26, n.47, pp. 113-150. ISSN 0121-4772.
This article analyses urban poverty from the perspective of social vulnerability in five communities living in the city of Cali ranked in socioeconomic strata 1, 2 and 3. The work involved combining surveys having structured and open questions and collecting verbal accounts. The empirical evidence revealed some risk situations in these households within the context of Colombias economic recession from 1998 to 2004. The most frequently identified strategies were indebtedness, reducing household spending on food and clothing and incorporating other household remembers in seeking paid work.
Keywords : social vulnerability; subjective poverty; cluster analysis.

Whitman could have disclosed this long ago, and made a good, personal point about the need for a solid verification system for employers to use. Instead, she made a calculated decision to keep quiet, but got burned after her secret came out. That's pretty much the formula all Wall Street CEOs seem to follow.
