TOLEDO, Ohio (AP) -- Police have arrested a man on a murder charge after authorities found a woman's naked, mutilated body in a northwest Ohio apartment.
The Blade newspaper reports (http://bit.ly/TUZbGB ) that police were sent to the west Toledo apartment at 9: 30 a.m. Sunday after a caller told authorities that a woman was found with her chest "open." Authorities arrived at the apartment to find 49-year-old Joan Annette Watson deceased.
An autopsy is scheduled for Monday.
A message seeking additional details was left Monday morning with Toledo police.
A Lucas County coroner's investigator told the newspaper that the homicide was one of the most graphic ones he's seen in his 20 years of work.
A resident at the apartment building told police he didn't hear any commotion on Saturday night or Sunday morning.

You're going to have to excuse me today. I definitely have a case of the Mondays! I am soooooo pooped. It was a very fun-filled and exhausting weekend.
I spent a lot of time with family and even got some shopping done…as you can see in the pic. That's a new dress I picked up, with my favorite leggings and boots. I wore that to a family function with my black cardigan. It was super comfy!! I'm not very daring when it comes to prints but, what the heck…why not? Lol.
I'm thinking about doing a video later and I'll show you what I bought. I might even do a little jewelry giveaway! Yay!!
How was your weekend?
Did you get any shopping done?

"My most memorable weather story was the flash floods of 2007. You could call it my introduction to Texas weather. It was one of the most devastating floods in Central Texas history. An unbelievable 19 inches of rain fell in a matter of hours in Marble Falls. Neighborhoods turned into lakes, homes were flooded and roads were washed away by torrential rain. Incredible."
Mary said she doesn't mind getting up early to bring folks the weather.
"Helping people wake up in the mornings by giving them the weather for the day is my favorite part of my job. Hopefully, I can brighten their day, too," she said.

SPARSHOLT College's multi-million pound sports centre was officially unveiled to industry figures and special guests at an event which celebrated sport, outdoor education and public services.
Mountaineer and adventurer Bonita Norris, currently the youngest person in the world to have stood at the North Pole and the summit of Everest, scaled the college climbing wall to 'cut' the ribbon and officially declare the centre open.
During her address Bonita said: "This is the best climbing wall I have ever seen in an educational establishment."
She added: "Keep an open mind, say yes to things that scare you and don't be afraid to fail.
"Hard work is the secret to everything – pure talent is never enough.
"Ultimately, don't give up when you most want something because that is when you are most likely to succeed."
The new sports centre includes a full size sports hall, climbing wall, gym, a fitness suite and a sprung floor dance studio.
The purpose-built climbing wall spans 20 metres and features many overhangs and ridges.
College principal Tim Jackson said: "This college focuses on getting people into worthwhile careers with the necessary knowledge linked specifically to skills and practised competencies, ready to face the future with confidence.
"This particularly includes facilities for our outdoor education students and, of course, our sports coaching, fitness instructing, public services and football academy students.
"However, what marks the college apart from many others is the inclusion of a separate climbing wall, which, as you will have seen, has given us some truly spectacular climbing facilities that are the envy of most colleges."

You exercise your body to stay physically in shape, so why shouldn't you exercise your brain to stay mentally fit? With these daily exercises you will learn how to flex your mind, improve your creativity and boost your memory. As with any exercise, repetition is necessary for you to see improvement, so pick your favorite exercises from our daily suggestions and repeat them as desired. Try to do some mentalrobics every single day!
Earlier, we talked about the Link
and Story systems for remembering lists of items. Our example list was pretty silly (clown, banana, giraffe, and moon) so you may be asking yourself what practical uses you can apply these techniques to in your daily life. Good question!
These systems can be used in nearly any situation where you need to remember a list. Two popular examples are shopping lists or errands. Waiters can use it to remember the orders for their tables. Students can use it to learn vocabulary words or facts for a quiz. You could remember the state capitals or names of the presidents.
Sometimes the items you want to remember may be difficult to visualize or work into a story. In these situations, you can use a substitute word that sounds similar or has a relationship to the item that you are trying to remember. The idea is to pick a word that is easy to visualize. For example, if you are trying to memorize the U.S. state capitals, you might use "Tapioca" as a replacement word for Topeka, the capital of Kansas. Or if you are trying to remember the errand of picking up your laundry, you might visualize a shirt with a stain on it.
You can even use these systems to remember a speech or lecture. Just pick a concrete word for each section of the speech and link them all together. Now you'll be able to recall the entire speech without notes.

Stairway inside the house.
summer of 1950 or 1951 — Harlan Kentucky
My twin sister and I were spending the week with Aunt Carrie and Uncle Vernon and their house had bedrooms on the second floor. This was the frist time we had visited them and we were having a grand time going up and down the stairs. They had a new baby and my sister and I and our cousin were making so much noise we must have driven Aunt Carrie crazy, however she was kind and just asked us to play outside. We had a great week.

Sprinter Harmony Graves finds inspiration in community service
Harmony Graves is a popular face at GIAC Navigators practice. Walking onto the track at the Athletics & Events center on Ithaca College's campus, Graves is welcomed by a chorus of excited hellos and hugs from the elementary school-aged runners.
The Navigators are a youth soccer and track organization run by the Greater Ithaca Activities Center. The program is supported by parents and coaches but Graves' role is different. A senior sprinter for the Ithaca College track team, Graves is more than just a coach to the young athletes. She's their celebrity, their cool college friend, their expert.
"Just her energy and enthusiasm and excitement she brings to the table. Her willingness to go above and beyond," Navigators coach Lori Brewington said, "it makes the kids feel like they're important. Somebody cares. Someone is extending their hand to them."
Three months ago the Navigators weren't a part of Graves' life and track almost wasn't either. Coming off a serious ankle injury, Graves strongly considered ending her track career. The thought of rehabbing two torn ligaments and balancing schoolwork was more than she wanted to take on and stepping away seemed like the logical choice.
That's when the Navigators came in.
All Therapeutic Recreation majors at Ithaca College are required to take a service learning class where they volunteer at a local organization and design their own service learning project. Graves already knew someone involved with the Navigators program and called to see if she could help out for her class.
While Graves thought she was just moving one step closer to graduation, she was actually inching back to the track. In addition to helping with homework and playing games in the afternoons, Graves also agreed to work with the track team.
It was during these sessions with the Navigators where she found a renewed passion for running. Seeing the sport through the eyes of her team, she realized she wasn't quite done.
"The kids they definitely remind me of why I began running in the first place," Graves said. "They're always happy. They're really energetic. They really inspired me to just be like, 'I can still do this. I still got it.'"
Graves says she's always loved working with kids. She taught dance to children for eight years and says they have an enthusiasm that is different than what she encounters from most adults. The Navigators for example don't see running as a chore but something fun they can do each afternoon.
"They're long distance runners. They don't know it but they are," Graves jokes. "They'll go for days."
While Graves got inspiration, the Navigators received expert instruction and guidance. Graves works the athletes through drills and teaches proper form some days, then organizes physical activities and helps them with their homework on others. She has even set up other athletes from the Ithaca College track team to work with the kids when she can't.
Brewington said the support from Graves has made all the difference this season. The kids receive a level of instruction most runners don't receive until high school and get to interact with a young person who takes hard work seriously. Graves also attended Ithaca High School, which helps the kids see her as a role model.
"It gives them the opportunity to see that they have the potential to do that as well," Brewington said. "That somebody from Ithaca made it that far."
The Navigators also got an upgrade in practice facilities thanks to the relationship with Ithaca College. In the past the team practiced in the gym at GIAC, which was about half the size of a standard gym and nowhere near big enough to hold a full size track.
That changed when Graves helped the Navigators shift their practices to the A&E center. Though Ithaca College was already in talks to offer the practice space, Graves helped expedite the process.
"We'd have to do about 100 laps in the old gym," Brewington said. "This has allowed us to bring in a lot of different aspects of track to the kids that we were not able to do just because of the facility itself."
Graves' final contribution to this year's team is one that should have an effect for years to come. For a class project Graves designed a run-a-thon fundraiser for the Navigators. The run-a-thon raised a few hundred dollars this year and will go to pay for equipment and other expenses.
"Lori said she wanted to expand the program," Graves said. "So I wanted them to get spikes, to get trainers, to be able to buy starting blocks, to have the gas money to travel to other meets because they go to like two a year."
Brewington believes the run-a-thon could continue to have an impact in the future.
"The goal for Harmony was to have it as an annual thing and the way it went I think that's definitely doable," Brewington said. "That's the long term goal."
As for Graves, she hopes to continue working with children in the future. She expects to graduate this spring with a degree in therapeutic recreation and wants to become a dance therapist.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 27/12/2012 (1698 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
They are the kind of numbers that make the good folks at Curl Manitoba feel warm and fuzzy and chilled all at the same time.
The total entries in the annual Tim Hortons Christmas Youth Bonspiel are down from 80 to 68 this year -- that in itself is hardly a new development in curling -- but it's from where a good chunk of those numbers come that has the sport's heavyweights both intrigued and concerned.
Consider this: of those 68 teams across three events, junior men's, women's and youth -- 30, or almost half -- hail from the Pembina (19) and St. Vital (11) Curling Clubs.
"I was startled by that," said Curl Manitoba president Resby Coutts. "The positive, obviously, is there has to be a model from those two programs that we as a sport and association should be learning from. Kudos to the organizers and volunteers and organizers in those two clubs who are clearly doing something really right in terms of teaching them the sport and mentoring them in the next step.
"The flip side of that is, what are we not doing right in other places? I know there are other good programs, but when you look at the list and the very small number of teams coming to the Christmas bonspiel from outside of Winnipeg, there are darn few kids coming from more than a half hour outside the Perimeter Highway.
"It's economics, it's time, it's different priorities from earlier generations... all kinds of factors. The question is, what can we do to help those clubs?"
Now, if the Pembina Curling Club was to ever piece together a recruitment poster for their junior program, the accompanying photo might have been taken at the 4 p.m. junior men's draw at the Charleswood Curling Club where four of the five sheets -- and half of the teams -- featured rinks from the Pembina.
"The program has been around for awhile and it just seems that more people are hearing about it every year," said Aaron Anderson, who skipped his Pembina rink to a win over Carter Wilson, also of the Pembina for his second victory on opening day. "More and more young people are joining. Word gets around and it builds."
But no program builds without a solid foundation and, truth be known, what they are doing at clubs like St. Vital and Pembina isn't all that complicated.
"We have a large program from our Little Rockers all the way up to our juniors," explained Sid Greenstone, Pembina's junior co-ordinator. "We have 42 teams and 196 junior curlers. It's quite a successful program and it's been like that for a fair number of years. We're just continuing what is already in place.
"It's really gratifying, because the more youth you have involved the more you have the next generation of adult curlers."
Action continues in the event Friday at the Assiniboine Memorial, Deer Lodge and Charleswood Curling Clubs with the finals going Saturday at 4 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. at Assiniboine Memorial.
And as an added incentive, two berths in the Junior Men's and one berth from the Junior Women's events will be awarded to the 2013 Canola Junior Provincial Championships, January 3-7 at the Brandon Curling Club, from the Christmas Youth Bonspiel.
ACT NOW: Curl Manitoba is urging prospective teams to get their entries for the 125th annual MCA Men's Bonspiel in ASAP. As of noon on Thursday, the event had 323 entries -- still far short of their target of 512.
The deadline for entering is Jan. 2, 2013, but in order to ensure that every team gets a guaranteed six games, there may be a cut off to allow for perfect draw numbers and to prevent byes and artificial defaults. For more info and to enter, visit curlmanitoba.org.

Take a look here to see if Million Dollar Quartet is showing somewhere nearby
Featuring an incredibly talented cast who all play and sing their instruments live, this musical gives you the chance to witness the birth of the greatest rock 'n' roll band that never was. After a successful Broadway run, Million Dollar Quartet is touring the country and playing in both London and Chicago, the latter production becoming the city's longest running musical. Million Dollar Quartet hits the Paper Mill Playhouse in Millburn, NJ, Ended 23 Apr 2017.
On a cold and wet December night in 1956, four young musicians gathered at Sun Records in Memphis for what would be one of the greatest recording sessions ever. You may have heard of them - they were Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, Carl Perkins and Jerry Lee Lewis, between them making up the eponymous "million dollar quartet". Not an easy feat back in the Fifties!
This impromptu jam session would become the basis of musical legend, four icons of the rock 'n' roll era together singing and recording in one room for the first and only time. Fortunately for the rest of us, the sound engineer who was working at the time was smart enough to press 'record'. And thanks to this quick-thinker, we have the chance to re-imagine the goings-on in that studio.
MDQ brings that legendary night to life, featuring a score of rock hits including Blue Suede Shoes, Fever, That's All Right, Sixteen Tons, Great Balls of Fire, Walk the Line, Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin' On, Who Do You Love?, Matchbox, Folsom Prison Blues, Hound Dog and many, many more. If you're a classic rock fan, this is the one musical you simply cannot afford to miss.
Million Dollar Quartet is not just about the music. The songs are all laced together with stories and anecdotes from the famous foursome and the manager of Sun records, Sam Phillips. The show acts as a mini-history lesson about the birth of rock 'n' roll, and the wider social changes that were afoot at the time.
The four members of the quartet all had a brother who died before them.
Opening night: 31 March 2017
Closing night: 23 April 2017

- If your company plans to track online activities, determine how it will do so and make employees aware they're being monitored. Deem what is considered acceptable use and what is excessive so every case will be handled consistently. Also, define the consequences for Internet misuse.
- Managers should lead by example. Obviously, if the boss is spending a lot of time on personal tasks, it's easy for employees to think they can too.
- If a worker is found to be spending too much company time surfing the Web, the issue should be addressed directly. Refer to the company Internet policy for how to handle instances of employee misuse, especially if work activities suffer as a result.
NEW YORK ( MainStreet) -- Historically, there's always been an uneasy arrangement between employers and employees on the topic of workplace Internet access. Company decision-makers don't necessarily want to stifle employee access to online data, especially in an information age in which information is as much a commodity as widgets or washing machines. And employees know their paycheck depends on them being productive, and spending an hour or two on Facebook ( FB) won't cut it, especially if management is aware of your workplace "distraction." Increasingly though, companies are edging away from serious opposition to employee Internet access, even to social networking sites and online shopping portals. That's the consensus of a study out from OfficeTeam, a Menlo Park, Calif.-based employee staffing service. According to OfficeTeam, 53% of employers do not block worker access to the Internet, including allowing access to "nonproductive" (at least from a corporate point of view) sites such as Facebook or eBay ( EBAY). Furthermore, companies that erect a firewall between staffers and Internet access say staffers and managers get around Internet access restrictions by using their mobile devices. "Even if companies don't block access to certain sites, they may be monitoring employee activity for excessive use," says Robert Hosking, executive director of OfficeTeam. "Professionals should be mindful of how they are spending their time while at the office. Surfing the Web might provide a nice break from work, but it should never get in the way of it." We reached out to Hosking and asked how companies and employees can find common ground on workplace Internet access: What should companies do to ease conflict over online access at work? Hosking: Businesses should set ground rules when it comes to Internet use and make sure employees can find guidelines online and/or in the company handbook. Using language that is easy to understand helps to prevent confusion. Since the online landscape is constantly changing, employers may need to occasionally revisit and edit their policies.

Purple Trapper Hat by Etro
I really hope I don't see girls in LA wearing this hat, but for those of you who live somewhere with actual winters, this hat is a pretty pick. The rich purple contrasts nicely with the natural raccoon fur trim. Your head and ears will thank you for staying so warm and chic.

Ricky Ponting has resigned as captain of the Australian national cricket team, but he intends to stay on as a player. If he were chief executive of a business, however talented, he would never try to pick up the threads of his earlier career as, say, a top salesman. Why not?
Ponting, 36, was the most successful international cricket captain ever, but he was widely perceived to have failed recently. His team just lost to India in the quarter-finals of the World Cup. Yet as a batsman, Ponting still has plenty left to offer. Indeed, the World Cup quarter-final saw him return to form, scoring a typically brave century. As he told the press in relinquishing the leadership:
Now that I won't have all the extra responsibility of the captaincy, I think I can turn myself into a better player than I've shown in the last six months.

Clinton Township Middle School Students Put their Hands Up for Hunger
Students from the Clinton Township Middle School of Hunterdon County, New Jersey, have joined forces with the global humanitarian organization Action Against Hunger to raise awareness and support for crises around the world. Having studied the crisis in Darfur, Sudan, the students contacted Action Against Hunger—an agency working in Sudan—and commited to joining their national Race Against Hunger event later this Spring.
But the students wanted to do something in the mean time and created an innovative project called "Hands 4 Hunger": a collage of 2,500 colorful hand-shaped cut-outs, displayed as symbols of their commitment to helping the less fortunate around world. "I thought it would be effective in spreading an important message, not to mention fun," states Abbey Daudelin, designer of the "Hands 4 Hunger" project.
"According to the UN's Food & Agriculture Organization, every day 25,000 people die of hunger or related causes. Each hand represents 10 of these people," according to the "Hands 4 Hunger" student group—a project that has only grown in enthusiasm and members. "Originally, only 10-12 kids signed up for this group. Now everyone wants to be a part of it," affirmed Diane Cormican, an Enrichment Teacher and Coordinator at Clinton Township Middle School. Diane has been impressed with the students' initiative. "We are all very fortunate in this country," continues Ms. Cormican. "It's often hard to see beyond our own busy lives, but efforts like "Hands 4 Hunger" nurture a desire to help others and remind us we can make a difference."
Having raised money for Darfur last year, the school sought to add an educational component to their fundraising activities in 2009. The Race Against Hunger's service learning curriculum seemed a good fit, and this year's school-wide effort offers an exciting glimpse into the enthusiasm students have for making a difference in the world. " 'Hands 4 Hunger' has been a great start to our humanitarian initiative, and the students are eager to Race Against Hunger," says Diane.

There may be a solid blanket of snow on the ground, but the Princeton Youth Baseball and Softball League is making its pitch for the summer season.
PYBSL is teaming up with the Princeton Optimist Club to present a special showing of the great All-American classic, "The Sandlot," at the Apollo Theatre.
Any player who signs up for PYBSL from 5 to 7 p.m. Friday or from 8 to 10 a.m. Saturday at the Prouty Building will receive free tickets for themselves and family members for the presentation of "The Sandlot" at 10 a.m. Saturday.
The presentation is open to the first 320 people. Players can bring their families.
While the movie combination is a way to encourage early registration, PYBSL board member Amy Thompson said the league wants to show its support for its youth and community.
"It shows that one of PYBSL's main goals is to be supportive of families and youth of our community. The kids in our community are the most important thing to us as a league," Thompson said. "People are sick and tired of winter. What a great way to show that summer is just around the corner."
Thompson describes "The Sandlot" as a great classic movie about fun, friendship and the love of baseball. She says most everyone has a favorite line from the move, hers being, "You're killin' me Smalls."
Along with the free admission, anyone donating a piece of new or used baseball equipment (excludes baseballs) in good condition will receive a free bucket of popcorn. It's a good way to clear out your own equipment room, Thompson said, and help others.
Remaining sign-ups will be held from 5 to 7 p.m. March 12, from 8 to 10 a.m. March 15 and from 5 to 7 p.m. March 19 at the Prouty Building.
PYBSL is a member of the Western Bureau Valley League,which includes the communities from Annawan, Buda, Kewanee, LaMoille, Manlius, Tampico, Walnut and Wyanet.
• Moving on: Madison Lord, a senior at DeKalb High School, will sign Friday to play volleyball at Embry Riddle Aeronautical University in Daytona Beach, Fla. The Barbies' setter/right side hitter, was the DeKalb Chronicle's Player of the Year. She is the daughter of Princeton High School graduate Michael Lord and the granddaughter of Bob and Alice Lord of Princeton.
• Moving up: Princeton native Blair Hubbard is moving up the Colorado football ranks from 2A Faith Christian to 3A Lutheran Parker High School on the other side of Denver. Hubbard, a 1987 graduate of PHS, led Faith Christian to three state championships and 14 playoff appearances in 15 years. The Eagles reached the 2A title game last fall.
"It was time for a new battle to fight and to take on a new challenge at a higher classification," Hubbard said.
Chris McDonald has been named as the head football coach and athletic director at Maricopa (Arizona) High School. He had been assistant coach for eight years for Arizona powerhouse Hamilton, which had won five state titles in the stretch. McDonald is the son of Princeton natives Jerry and Patty (Ellberg) McDonald and the grandson of Terry Ellberg of Princeton and the late Carl Ellberg Jr.

[FOLK] Folk Workshop AAR - Fire Team "Fire and Movement"

I hope this increases my fireteam's survivability, before it was more of a Soviet WW2 squad when I FTL'ed - "We need to clear that building comrades, charge for Motherland!".

[AAR] Tactical Tuesday 2nd October - Meat-Grinder 2: Grind Harder

It might be just me, and it will probably pass in a few minutes, but i have to say i was disappointed by the huge comms clusterfuck in Shilkas of Nur.
Spend the whole mission tying to keep manually track of what was happening in my own fireteam, not getting any response from two of my teammates during the whole mission. Means I could never keep the pace with Fer (Alpha Lead), having to constantly delay my answers and urge my mates to follow the momentum (man the number of times my STHud was empty, while my team was full strength).
After dying at the hand of an anti-RPG tank, i stuck in the Alpha channel, only to discover that twenty minutes after my death, Fer hadn't even been made aware of that incident. And to listen him talking to Joe, Head, (myself) and the wind, while most of the people here were ramboing away.
Thanks for hosting, Strang. It was a good session.
People need to remember that your attitude and behavior ingame effects others experience immensely and in a game such as ArmA failing to work as a team can ruin everyone's fun. The server is open nearly 24/7 and if you're itching for some less than serious, one-man-army action then by all means organize a domi session or other stuff, but please keep that sort of attitude out of TT.

It's okay to not like things.
Mission makers and hosts have put a huge amount of time into providing all the components for a tactical experience; for the vast majority of players, all that is asked in return is that you show up and play your designated roles with consideration for others around you. When a minority players cannot abide by this simple proposition it is hugely disappointing, and potentially de-motivating for the relatively small group of individuals that give up so much of their spare time on your behalf.

Rolling Matryoshka
Oh dear this felt like a really stupid idea to take commander for, but oh well i am a crazy swede
Anyway some briefing screws-up by me, Were off, Inital contact goes fine.I get shot by sniper,Some minor losses
Factory Secured , moved there and then the shit hit the fan,Honestly i should have been quicker on the horn, maybe consolidate my forces a tad (Was there an option for HAT?) never the less, In general i was too far behind, not getting the information i needed (Mostly my fault)
This was a royal fuck up planning wise, spread my forces too thin,idiotic shit plan.
I'm sorry guys.

Thanks Halop.
Well-intentioned, I took FTL on two of these missions (the first and third) but it only served to highlight the growing realisation that I'm really no good at it. I just can't concentrate on maintaining situational awareness as well as commanding the FT while trying to parse the tumult of voices on mumble to find out what I'm supposed to be doing. I can barely manage one of those at a time..
Fortunately, at least in Shilkas, my FT managed to spot and often neutralise most of the contacts I couldn't spot. Nice work, guys.
Anyway, I'll refrain from inflicting my experiments in command on unwitting TT players in future.

Also Head was bugged and couldn't medic people anyway.
I deliberately avoided mentioning specific names because I think the issue you so neatly described above is more important, and a collective one for us to address together.

1) It is the commander's role to decide what action is required.
2) The fact he didn't publicly call someone out meant either there was several people doing it, or he wanted others to take note. Perhaps both.

Hey Joe....I normally don't mind the unique style you bring to the game :-) In fact I often find it quite amusing :-)
But I have to admit...on Sunday you were behaving out of the ordinary but last night you had the dick factor turned up high.
What gives dude?
I'm not as politically correct as the others so I'll just come out and say it. Why such a dick last night? It started from the minute you over reacted to my arrival (albeit for comedy value) until the moment you typed "cunt" in chat and then tried to defend it. Then continued with the whole "fuck it...I'll just do what I want" mentality.
I mean...I'm not trying to tell you that ARPS or Folk is about restricting your freedom. You can type whatever you want. I guess the point is that:
a) your actions as a veteran of ARPS set a bad example to others who may be newer or just joining (and reflect badly on us in general...if it was my first night last night I might never have come back tbh). You may not care about this but you should. If you don't believe that as a veteran of a community you sort of defacto take on a responsibility to behave just a cut above the rest then I would ask myself why even bother being a part of this.
b) The large majority of us simply don't want to see anyone referred to as "cunts". Are we censoring...not really...I mean like I said....you still typed it several times...I guess we just believe that whilst that language may be acceptable in any number of other social situations (situations in which I might even use that word), we want to create a community where the bar is set a little higher. Maybe it's a maturity thing...I dunno.
So you know.....I least I am telling it to you honestly. I don't need to break this down into a point by point synopsis of what happened. I just wanted to say that I was surprised. I know you are better (and funnier) than that. Tell me this was just the end of a bad day or week and that we can come back from the place we left last night.

It's interesting to see that Charlie wasn't the only squad having constant comms fuck ups in Shilkas of Nir.
What started promisingly quickly turned sour when a Humvee was lost and it took precious minutes to verify if anyone from the occupying fireteam was still alive. Things then got worse as players failed to follow orders to move up, decided to engage extremely distant targets with small arms and failed to report deaths - i only learnt of a fire team leaders death when i saw him leave the server.
By the time the end of the mission was reached, the remaining two members decided to charge towards the last shilka despite me asking them to hold back. In their defence, they were already engaged before I got given the order to pass down.
Regarding medics with ATs - i did ask members of Charlie which included Head at the time to pick up any AT they came across for obvious reasons.
Apoligies for my comms over CC - my responses were often crude and vague and I was often slow at passing orders down the chain.

I think I was one of the first to die this mission, which makes a change - it's been a few months since I had that much glory. Not a great deal to say - charged across an open field, came under fire, went prone, crawled, got headshotted. Ah well, at least the rest of my team lived for a good 20 mins more.
I think I pissed off my FTL (Toppo) after the mission by saying the eventual death of our fireteam wasn't his fault. It looked like it was true though - an enemy squad (separate from the other contacts they'd previous engaged) just happened to crest a wooded ridge line right on top of where the fireteam had set up. Even in spectate mode, I couldn't even see them approach until the shooting started.
2 Days from Retirement: A2 Dude, maaaan
Second time ever defending on this map (the first saw me sit in a room for the duration), so I was frequently confused about our location and situation. Once my FTL had died and someone in A1 shouted to fall back, I ran but hesitated when I noticed other members of my fireteam staying put. Unsure if it was just A1 that was supposed to move, I retook my position only to watch everyone else die and realise I was effectively surrounded. Cue much running around like a headless chicken until Wolf put me out of my misery.
Missions: 2 Enemies sighted: 0 Bullets fired: 0
Shilkas of Nur: Bravo 2 AAR + Bravo HMMWV Gunner
Considering I'd only operated as a gunner twice before (1: Survived with no kills. 2: Got taken out by a BDRM within 30 seconds), I wasn't looking forward to joining Draakon in the Bravo vehicle. I have to apologise if there was any coms issues between us as he kept hopping in and out of the vehicle, and I'd wrongly assumed Vehicle channel on VON would be the best one to use (as I was in a different group). Had to be my own driver and scootch the HMMWV back and forth a few times, and stupidly opened up on a M113 (there was a certain panic over comms when it appeared, so I assumed the "throw everything you've got at it" tactic was called for), but I don't think I did too badly. Got a reasonable number of kills, some good hits on the chopper that flew over, and sorted out an enemy squad that had snuck up behind us. Would probably have more but wasn't confident to open up without authorisation.
Sadly, we were done for by a projectile of the high explosive variety. My inexperience showed when I sat in the burning vehicle for a good few minutes before realising I was alive and asking for help. My rescuers were then incapacitated by an explosion, and I finally turned from "golden brown" to "extra crispy". Sorry Halop, jRides, etc. - I hope my corpse contained enough cool loot to make up for the injuries.
Missed out on the comms issues in the rest of the mission.
Test Mission
Forgot the name of this one, but I enjoyed it, survived it, and killed some naughty men to boot. Thanks to Head for taking out an enemy soldier stood 2 metres away from me that I somehow neglected to notice. I tend to be a bit reckless when running to deliver first aid.

Updates, SALE, zine workshops in Blacktown…
Happy festive season, good people. I have just spent this rainy afternoon adding a few things to the catalogue – two issues of Telegram Ma'am (#20 and 22), the latest Disposable Camera (all about Melbourne this time, featuring Vanessa's most ambitious mind map to date) and the truly epic 4 disc making of YOU DVD box set. You'll find that last one on the 'other things to buy' page.
Meanwhile, I have been busy working on a new Take Care Zine Distro Zine/Newsletter. It'll be out as soon as I can get to Officeworks – by the end of the week, hopefully. Within it you will find a round-up of the year 2011 from our perspective, perched up here in the not so mountainous Blue Mountains above venal old Sydney Town.
The more observant among you – or those that have cared enough to pay attention (don't worry if you didn't – I hardly remembered myself, and last year I totally forgot) will note that the 1st of January marks Take Care's second anniversary. Two years! How come we haven't taken over the world yet? Ah, who cares. Anyway, we thought we should actually acknowledge this important acheivement in some way, so we have decided to do this thing we've heard rumours that people are into, we've decided to have a SALE, starting from the 1st of January. The rules of the sale are as follows, beneath the attention grabbing heading:
In the month of January with every $10 of zines you order you may nominate an additional zine to be added to your order, free of charge. (Orders over $20 get two, over $30 get three, you see the pattern.) Simply write the title of the zine you'd like in the 'note to merchant' field when checking out of paypal. Please list a couple of alternatives in case your first preference sells out. (If we happen to sell out of all your prefs we'll pick a random zine for you – first in, first served.) Remember that the sale begins on the first of January, so keep yr hats on till then!
Also, in January I'm gonna be hosting a couple of zine workshops at Blacktown City Libraries. Here are the details:
Jan 10 – Stanhope Gardens library
Jan 12 – Mt Druitt library
and on Jan 18 Vanessa Berry will be hosting a workshop at Blacktown library
All workshops are from 1-3pm and are for 13 to 18 year olds, but if you're a year of two older – or younger – you're welcome to come too, but you must book by calling the relevent library. Check out the Blacktown Library website for more info.
The structure of the workshops that I'm doing will be a brief lowdown on what zines are and then an ideas brainstorming/zine making session – you can bring along stuff you're already working on or try to make something from scratch (typewriter, collage materials, scissors, glue and photocopier provided) or just hang out and read some cool zines from my collection! To coincide with this I think they're tying to organise a zine display in the library, too, but I'll get back to you on that.

Well, we're making SOME progress!
Tonight we got to see phase 3 for the first time (though I don't think I had any mana left). Healing was a bit iffy at the beginning (ie we hadn't sorted out who was healing which tank) and then we had to juggle a bit to get which priest with with druid for the tanks (me and Bish tend to have more mana than Lush and Gutsy). Had a bit of flak from the DPS for us healers sucking at healing, which made my hackles rise a little, but I calmed down after a bit.
DPS was tight and Lush switched to Heart of the Wild and that was enough to get us the DPS we needed. I really need mana for that third phase though. I think I went into it with 0 mana.. gulp.
I think it was the first time I saw the big crystal for trapping. And so that was good, because I got to see the big adds trapped in the crystal. I was a bit spazz about being the target (red lined) for an add last time, but this time it wasn't so bad and I even managed to dump my amber stuff in the right place - phew!
I don't know if others do it with 4 heals but it's going ok with 4 heals, though the DPS probably feel like they could have a little extra with them. Slice told me they did it with 3 heals but they had a paladin - it would be awesome with a paladin beaconing one tank and healing the other for adds phase!
But I think overall, everyone was pleased. I certainly was. I look forward to seeing how far we get it tomorrow. I hope we can get it down before patch :)

A WOMAN who 'doesn't normally drink' ended a night out by getting inebriated and spitting in a police sergeant's face, a court heard.
Samantha Louise Chadwick, 30, had been aggressive and hurling abuse outside a pub, carried on after being arrested and then launched the horrible attack on the custody sergeant, leaving him feeling disgusted and sickened.
Burnley magistrates were told how Chadwick had no idea what she had done when she woke up in the cells and was shocked and ashamed.
She immediately sent apologies to her victim, Sgt Derek Entwistle, through the sergeant then on duty.
The defendant, of Girvan Grove, Burnley, admitted police assault and being drunk and disorderly on Colne Road, in the town, on July 19.
She was fined £70, with £85 costs.

Netbook gaming: Collected advice, resources and links
Ok, this has cropped up on the forums a fair few times. And there's a lot of advice spread over these forums.
I spent 9 months last year on fieldwork in Kyiv with only a Samsung NC10, and so have a fair bit of experience with what works and what does not, and some specific advice for certain games. So thought I'd put this together.
I'll keep it edited and updated as people suggest things. So please come forward with any suggestions, additions, corrections and game specific details.
1. Operating system
This will be one of the major impacts on what you can play. If you are thinking of buying a netbook and intend to game on it (or have one and are thinking of changing OS) then bear this in mind.
For Google chrome OS, you're limited pretty much entirely to their 'webstore' (which actually includes a lot of ports of iOS games, so no real bad thing)
For Linux, which will usually be a version of Ubuntu or maybe EeePCs own version, there are a range of games which run natively on Linux, and many which will run via DosBox for Dos compatible games and Wine for many windows games. See below for some more on wine
Win XP is probably the easiest netbook platform for gaming. DosBox runs fine, and it's compatible by and large with many older windows games.
Win 7 is just horrible for backwards compatability in many cases, but, you know, it's well fancy and pretty compared to XP...
2. Screen resolution
Probably the most important 'hardware' question. Beyond memory (you'll have enough) and integrated graphics card, the resolution of your screen will most detrmine the limits of what you can play.
My netbook has a resolution of 1024x600, which is fairly common. 800x600 is common too. Then there are some really odd ones...
The problem? Many games, even if they will run on your hardware, will not fit to 800x600. You'll have the bottom or top of the screen cut off.
Many netbooks allow for screen scrolling, where you can pan around a screen of a higher resolution by moving the mouse pointer to the edge of the screen. If not natively, this can be done using some of the software linked below.
This is annoying. At least I find it really annoying. Whilst mileage varying and so on, this is something to be very much aware of. Double check 800x600 is a possible resolution for any game (which will be the case for anything DOS usually)
IF you get a game that requires 1024x800 as a min resolution, there may be solutions.
Oddly enough, the best place for solutions to this (and to get 800x600 games using a full 1024x600) is the Widescreen Gaming Forum and the like. For whilst it's aimed at high resolutions, often the solutions will work for an arbitray given resolution. The games list is here:
The forums are worth searching too.
Try also:
These aren't guaranteed, though. Case in point: Galactic Civilisations II allows for arbitrary resolutions via any ini tweak. but anything below 800 tall makes the UI unusable.
Software which may help:
Netbook Resolution CustomiserAllows for down and upscaling. This will squeeze 1024x800 down to 800x600 if needs be. May crash some games though. IntelGMA required.
QuikRes Allows switching between resolutions from the tray. XP required.
Windows 7 downscales natively with a registry tweak:
3. Mouse
Get one, a cheap, small, wireless one. Even if you're not playing any FPS or similar games.
Unless, of course, you have some kind of alien coordination that makes a trackpad seem like a perfectly normal input for a computer. You wierdo.
4. Boost your hardware
There's a range of options here (most aimed at windows)
Overclocking tends to be Bad Idea (TM) on netbooks, as they lack and real ability to expel heat. But a modest 10-20% boost is within reason. No full details here as overclocking is always a fidlly business. So this is just some links to useful software and resources:
Anything IntelAtom:
SetFSB: Allows a range of tweaks of CPU parameters, useful for Overclocking.
Eeectl: Designed just for EeePCs this provides a huge amount of 'under the hood' control.
MSI Wind:
1.09 BIOS Allows overclocking options in the BIOS (inc GPU) for MSI Wind netbooks
A1ctl No overclcoking here, but some useful fan and resolution and memory functions.
For IntelGMA graphics (you may have something by Nvidia, but unlikely):
GMA Booster
Incredibly nifty thing that ups the clocks on your GMA integrated GPU without any fiddling with the voltages. Very much Worth It.
5. Flash gaming
I thought I'd add something on this seperate from the rest.
Flash is not limited just to browser games. Binding of Isaac, for example, is a flash game.
The problem with flash games is that they utilise the CPU exclusivley, and often poorly. The GPU utilisation by Flash only gets used for video decoding, not 2D rendering.
This often results in, unintuitvley, 2D games running worse than, say, a 3D game from 2002. Sometimes really, really poorly - it'll chug and stutter.
Other browser plugins are often much better.
For example, something that pushes flash's capabilities like The Last Stand may be unplayable, but full 3D Quake Live or a Unity game may be fine.
You may see something that looks perfect for a netbook, but check it's not a Flash game first.
Some Flash games run fine, others hardly at all. And it varies enormously depending on software and hardware configurations.
6. Behind the Games
Will probably be DosBox or Wine. Or even an emulator if that appeals. Or maybe some windows backwards compatability jiggery pokery.
Often games can be made to run much, much better with a bit of specific tweaking of whatever they are running on. Some of this may be game specific, but there are some various things to bear in mind.
apt-get if you can, else:
DLL overrides and graphics settings are likely to be the most common tweak:
AppDb, a database of guides on different apps and games is the most useful first-point-of-call for Wine. Lots of games are documented here:
Get it here
And get a [url=http://www.dosbox.com/wiki/DOSBoxFrontends]Frontendp/url]
A frontend allows for both a catalogue of games, for editing the conf file (which, yeah, can be done by hand I suppose...) and often comes with downloadable databases of game-specific configurations.
D-Box is very pretty, but without a full set of options for tweaking. (Link in above)
D-Fend (windows) of the multi-platform DBGL (links in above) are my favourites. D-Fend will even connect to a database of profiles and automatically add it to a recognised game. (However this is a bit hit and miss, you may have to tweak it yourself)
The best places for game-specific DOSBox info are at:
DOSBox games list
DOSBox Wiki: Games
Or search / ask at VOGONS fourms
Old windows games, compatability and hyperthreading problems
Will more likely run better on wine than Win 7...
There's not much to say here in general, as many fixes are games-specific.
But the usual Right click the .exe -> Properties -> Compatability -> 'Run as admin', 'Run in compatability mode for' and 'Disable visual themes'
Is the best place to start.
One thing that does appear often are games that fall apart in a multi-thread environment.
This is the Task Manager -> Right Click -> 'Set affinity' solution you're probably familiar with.
If this is a problem for the game you want to run, this can be done permanently in XP, Vista and Win 7 by following:
OR this can be done permanently by editing the .exe file itself by downloading and using the command-line program imagecfg:
(Backup the original, obv.)
Other than DOS or windows...
Just a list for reference:
ScummVMFor old adventure games
The Emulator Zone
7. Games and where to get them
First off, aim high! Anything more than 4 years old will probably be ok... As long as resolution is not a problem...
Whilst a lot of the above relates to older games, but you'd be surprised what will run on a netbook.
My NC10 had no problem with KotOR one and two (minus a bit of slow down in really busy areas)
Some source games (HL2, Portal) may also be fine. Gothic 11, Morrowind (with extra low settings) and hitman 2 are fine.
So no -need- to go for the ancient games.
For the NC10 there's a list here:
Other netbooks may have their own lists.
That being said, half the point of gaming on a netbook is an excuse to play classics again (or for the first times)
I'll get around to a list of suggestions and game-specific tweaks later. For now, the obvious starting place is, of course, gog.com..."KING GEORGE IS A FROG
le BANG~__-MICHEAL FUCK OFF~~__-INTERPOL KNOW YOU WELLBIENG~
Thanks for this resource Cooper. Saw it when you first posted it, but didn't think it was relevant. Now my dad is trying to convince me not to take my proper laptop, and he'll buy me a netbook instead (you plan to go away for 10 months and your parents start trying to throw money at you).
If we end up buying a netbook tonight I'll come back and post the specs in case you can give some more specific advice, but yeah, I'll probably just use it as an excuse to delve more deeply into GoG's catalogue, and I'll also see which recent Indie games I've bought might run on it.
ETA: Completely off-topic, but I'll be in Kyiv soon (as long as we can get our visas sorted out in time) for 4 days to go on a tour of Chernobyl - anything else you recommend?

Great resource Cooper.
I started the last Netbook thread on here and I think you may be selling the netbook short. I've been using an Aspire One 522 almost exclusively for two months now (~3 hours travelling by train four times a week) and I'm amazed at what mine can cope with. Most notably I've had Dragon Age Origins running at a steady speed of about 25-30 fps.
For me the bottom line is "DO NOT GET AN INTERGRATED GRAPHICS CARD". It really makes a huge difference having a dedicated GPU and you won't have to worry about the slew of games that don't work with intergrated GPUs. Another point to remember is that 7 Starter always comes with just 1gb ram, which is a bit pathetic to be honest. Theres some incredibly long load times for games that run perfectly once they've actually started. So either look for a 7 laptop with upgradable memory (like the AO 522) or buy a linux one with two gigs and install 7 Starter. Ram uprgrades are pretty cheap, about £10 for 2gb, so I'll be getting one when my three month warranty runs out.
Is it alright with you if I add a link to this post at the end of mine?
Last edited by Bhazor; 08-12-2011 at 12:16 AM.
I assumed all netbooks would have integrated graphics, seeing as they are so much smaller, and it seems like only recently that dedicated GPUs in notebooks became common, and not just dedicated to gaming laptops.
The one I have on order for my travels has integrated graphics, but it's alright. I think it'll still run Terraria and some of the other indie games I've picked up lately, but at the very least... GOG.
Well Netbooks have definitely jumped in quality the past year or so. I guess they're competing against the tablet fad but the number of people I see everyday having to plug in a portable keyboard in order to use their iPad is making me question their longevity.
On topic I'd heartily recommend the AO 522 to anyone who asks about a portable gaming pc. It's not much weaker than a decent gaming laptop, is about a third the wieght and a fifth the price. It also has a battery that lasts 3-4 hours at highish strain or around 8 if you're just typing so unlike a high end laptop it's actually portable.

I need help!
I would like to keep using Civilization 3 on my new netbook (acer aspire one 722 - windows 7).
On my last one (acer aspire one 751 - windows Xp) it was running fine.
I tried to install with the Win Xp compatibility set, but I unable to use it.
When I run it it just quit after few second?

hello everyone
I have some problem on the process to allow user to submit a report on Ushahidi via sms.
-The first thing I obviously did is to install frontlineSms on my laptop (macbook) then plug a huawei wifi stick equiped with a SIM card. It allow to receive and send sms. Frontline Sms recognized it. well
-Next I went to my Ushahidi admin interface. And I took the FrontlineSMS HTTP Post LINK in the frontline sms addon section, then come back to frontline sms , I went to Keywords tab , selected ''None'' or ''Blanck'' field depending of the version you have of frontline ,
went to advanced options and past the link on the external command execution detail field , then i selected the ''Do not wait for respose'' option below. and click on ''done''.
- Next step I sent a message from a another phone to the number of my huawei Sim card. Frontline sms received the sms. And nothing. I was expecting to see the sms on the Ushahidi platform, but nothing.
I have to mentioned that when a sent the message my internet connection was ok. and also when I go to Message tab log on frontline sms it indicate that the external command that i set up before was hiting 3 time. normal because i sent 3 sms . but still nothing on ushahidi . I refresh so many time. Maybe i mised something ...
Anyone can help ?

Hi Bartel
Sorry to hear you're having problems with this.
All I can suggest is that you check the external command to make sure it's complete, and without any typing mistakes. If it is correct then you're best asking Ushahidi what you can try. As you say, FrontlineSMS seems to be doing its job okay so this is possibly something you'll need to look at their end.
There should be a Forum for Ushahidi users you can post your question to.
Good luck, and please let us know how you get on.
I finally succeed the sync, I receive sms and Frontline do directly the redirection to Ush platform So I can read it there. Im looking now to see if its possible to do this works when internet connection is down. And also see, when I receive the sms in Frontline being able to transform the sms into an email and send it to a pre-defined email adress.
Than you Ken for your time. Have a nice day.
Hi Bartel
Ushahidi did release a fix which allowed for an unreliable Internet connection, saving up messages for re-posting if they failed the first time. They've done some work on their site so the link I had to the fix no longer works - if you ask on their Forums someone should be able to point you there.

|This Could Happen to You
When Using an Extinguisher...
By Elizabeth A. Ginns — April 2003
Keep "PASS" in mind—Pull, Aim, Squeeze, and Sweep. Pull off the safety pin at the top of the extinguisher. Aim the nozzle at the base of the flame. Squeeze the trigger or discharge lever, and sweep the nozzle back and forth, spreading the extinguishing agent over the entirety of the fire's base. Stand approximately eight feet away from the fire's base when extinguishing; if you can't get that close, the fire is probably too big for you to extinguish.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 27/4/2013 (1576 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
DEAR MISS LONELYHEARTS: I took a gorgeous man home with me from the bar and we had four hours of amazing sex. At 7 a.m., he gave me a big kiss, thanked me profusely and rushed off to the gym. When I woke up again later, I found $300 in cash on the dresser! At first I laughed it off as a joke, and then I realized a big amount like $300 couldn't be a joke. Did he really think I was a hooker? I decided to wait to see if he'd call again, and we'd both laugh at the joke, but he hasn't called. Now I think he really thought I was a prostitute. I don't know what to do. I have the money sitting there, and don't feel like spending it. It seems like dirty money, and I'd like to return it, but I don't know his full name or where he works. I could go back to the bar and try to run into him. Would I just stuff the money in his hands? Would he believe me anyway? Yes, I took him home from the bar the first night, but that doesn't make me a hooker! But, as long as I have this money, I feel tainted by his thinking so. What should I do? -- Not a Hooker! Osborne Village
Dear Not a Hooker: Go back to the bar on the same night of the week and see if you can run into him. If you do, have the money in an envelope with no note of explanation that he could show to somebody. Hand it back to him, saying with a laugh, "I think you made a big mistake." He'll be happy to get it back; who wouldn't like to suddenly see $300 of their money returned? Then quickly be gone right out of the place. If he tries to ask for a date, say, "No thanks, that ship sailed with your wrong assumption." Now, you need to rethink your dangerous idea of taking home a stranger from the bar for sex. You didn't even know his name or have his phone number. He could have turned out to be a violent weirdo, not just a guy who's used to paying for sex. Let's hope you used protection. If don't see him again in a few weeks, give the money to charity, and you will feel better.
Dear Miss Lonelyhearts: My husband snores and I can't stand it. He won't go and have it treated at the sleep disorder clinic, so I moved to the guest room and I still couldn't sleep. Sometimes he snorts loudly like a pig and seems to stop breathing. I yell out to wake him, scared he's going to die. Now I am so sleep-deprived, I don't care. Three days ago I asked him to move down to the basement and he shocked me by suggesting we get a separation instead. He said it as cold as you please, and he'd even been to a lawyer. OK, so we haven't had sex in eight months, but that happens to lots of couples. I thought we still loved each other, but he said, "Last time I checked we weren't living like a married couple and I need love and sex. I won't keep paying for a house where I am relegated to the basement like the live-in houseboy." Today a guy showed up to work on the yard -- something my husband used to like to do with me. Help! I LOVE THIS MAN! -- S.O.S., South St. Vital
Dear S.O.S: Lots of sex and industrial-strength earplugs would be the fastest way to halt this move to separation, if he still loves you too. Initiate both actions immediately, and ask your husband to go to couples counselling to help you patch things up further. Your credibility as a loving mate is low after eight months of no sex and a bid to send him to the basement to live. Fight to win him back anyway you can. By the way, NOBODY should go to sleep in the basement (not even you) as it's a slap in the face either way... And, YOU need say nothing more about the sleep apnea. The therapist will ask him about the snoring and find out what he fears about making what seems to be a sensible move. When people resist going to a doctor, it's because they fear something else even more. Your guy will have ignored any of the literature on snoring and sleep apnea, so the relationship counsellor will tell him what he won't listen to from you. Please write back and let me know how it's going.

The Z10 design aims to impress consumers eyeing iPhones and Android devices. It's a touch-controlled smartphone with a 4.2-inch 1280 x 768 screen with 356 pixel-per-inch resolution. At 5.11 inches x 2.58 inches x 0.35 inches it's slightly larger than an iPhone 5. It's also slightly heavier than the iPhone, though with its rubberized plastic back the Z10 doesn't have quite the same solid feel as Apple's phone.
The Z10 is powered by a dual-core 1.5-Ghz processor and has 2 GB of RAM and 16 GB of flash memory with a hot-swappable microSD slot. There's an 8-MP rear-facing camera with 5X digital zoom, LED flash and 1080p HD video recording. The 2-MP front-facing camera has 3X zoom, 720p video recording and supports a new BlackBerry Messenger Video Chat Feature. Network connectivity includes 4G LTE. The removable battery supports 10 hours of talk time on 3G and up to 305 hours of standby time. The Z10 will sell for $149 in Canada with a three-year contract; it is expected to be available in the U.S. in March for around $200 under a two-year contract.
