SummaryWhow, can MoH do it too...
The GoodEver since Call of Duty came on the scene, Medal of Honor franchise lost bigtime and was nowhere near its fierce and unforgiving competitor. CoD had everything better, from graphic, interface, controls, simplicity, and helluva dynamic ambient filled with action and realism. And so Airborne showed up and said "I too can do it, and well." and thus it left me quite shocked at that revelation.
Only MoH game so far that had a good propelling force that could lead the player until the end in quite a satisfactory mood was Frontline... could be because they were the first to successfully put the player in D-day beach fight FPS, but even the rest of the missions as well as enemy movements were pretty impressive. After that, CoD came and took the throne all the way. So, what's so great about the Airborne that put it up as a competitor to Call of Duty 3, currently the last CoD with the WWII setting.
First, graphic was impressive and levels were really designed pretty well. But the thing about the levels is that they're quite huge, so to say, and not so linear. Sure, jumping off the plane is an interesting idea no doubt, but that alone would be highly insufficient to make this game as great. There are six missions altogether, short one might say, but you'd be surprised how each of these missions can take time to finish. Italian village, ancient ruins, trenches and bunkers, cities, it's all nicely wrapped up in those six missions, and what's best of all, there is no silly knights to fight like in Underground, or ending enhanced boss battle like in European Assault, there are missions and there are objectives... and objectives are but half of the mission 'cos once you finish them, new ones will appear while enhancing the map you're on to areas you didn't know were there in the first place.
Controls are fine (got me scared for a while by the unexpectedly unuseful default setting), aiming seems better than in prequels, and you can select weapon to start each mission with. What's better, is that each of the weapons can upgrade, thus providing you with more steady aim, extra clip, scope and other useful gadgets. Enemies are pretty cool too, they're defined by skill levels which basically mean they'll be tougher to deal with, and sometimes are strikingly deadly with their aim.
Okay, maybe it was the PS3 graphic, but still, it was something to be admired, yeah, CoD3 was nothing less, if not better, but gotta give them props for delivering such a worthy MoH title on the field, well done.
The BadAs silly as it may seem, it's always hard to figure if there are infinite enemies or not, as sometimes they just pop in a bunch almost like out of nowhere, at least nowhere in your visual range. And sometimes you can see individuals guarding certain spot, especially those elite troopers, they seem to come in a defined number alright.
But both AI or your allies and enemy soldiers can sometimes seem out of boundaries, as your troops can proceed forward leaving half of the enemy along the way, and enemies sometimes come to your side and hide behind the cover as if they're running in front of their own guys. Yeah, silly things like that still happen in the games, but can be forgiven due to circumstances.

A friend wrote today of life last week in her town. Understand that all true wealth comes from the soil and we in Agriculture are suffering to some degree by the lack of moisture.
No rain this month…or the month before…….our last measurable precipitation (nearly an inch on the home place…half that on fields further away) fell June 6.
The North Platte River Valley has moved from extreme to exceptional drought…a meteorological designation which, in just two words, tells an unforgiving story of pasture degradation, dying sagebrush, and empty reservoirs.
Disguised by irrigation our area doesn't look much different than it has during previous dry spells, but once the irrigation canals and wells are shut down the horror that comes from a rainless spring and summer will unmask… and even the most distracted and preoccupied observer will be able to grasp its true nature.
As drought intensifies so does the size, scope, and number of wildfires. Thursday, about noon, a gigantic cloud of brown smoke crawled over the northern horizon, rolling over Morrill like a 1930's black blizzard, staining the daylight a sickly nicotine yellow. Fine ash had just begun to fall when a local fire volunteer, who had stopped in at the tire shop, said, "I fought that fire all day yesterday until early this morning. I came home to eat and clean up before they call me out again."
A few moments later a longtime friend confided that his father had the ranch pickups and trucks loaded with personal belongings…ready for the evacuation order that was sure to come. "He sold his calves last week." Neal said. " It's a good thing. After this the ranch will be nothing but charcoal and dirt."
Years from now the 2012 drought will be a single notation in Mother Earth's logbook, its complexities and challenges relegated to nostalgic history, the demands it made on daily life softened by emotional distance. But right now, at this very moment, it's an extraordinarily powerful force of Nature which can't be , for any length of time, successfully mitigated, managed, or fixed…despite journalistic stories to the contrary.
About all a person can do, other than pray, is prepare for it, live through it, and put it behind you when the rains return.
Until then the land aches for water……
As always,

Advice on How To Raise Your Middle Child
Middle children are in a tough position. The oldest child gets all the "first" attention and can do things much sooner. The youngest child is the baby and doesn't have much expected of them and is doted on. The middle child just gets lost. It doesn't have to be this way. You can avoid having a child suffer from middle child syndrome with a little care.
Your children have different personalities and strengths. Allow them to realize what they do is wonderful. Who they are is perfect. Avoid comparisons to the middle child's siblings. Children may think it is because they aren't living up to the other sibling. To say Johnny is so good at sports, but it's Billy who is the scholar may make one think they aren't living up to your expectations in the other department. Do genuinely compliment your child when they do something well; preferably not on something their sibling does well. Don't expect them to have interests in something because your older child did, and so did his friends. You older child chose his friends because of similar interests.
- What are the effects of 'middle child syndrome'? - Parenting & Family- msnbc.com
The birth of a third kid changes your family dynamic. Stacy DeBroff of momcentral.com offers advice on raising a brood of three.
When a first child is born, parents are excited. Not only is baby's accomplishments his firsts, but it's the parents first. By the time the second comes along, parents don't have as much time for standing around taking pictures since two children now need them and they realize that drool really isn't that big of a deal. But, to the second born, fewer pictures equal less status. Be sure to take at least some of those "I found my hand pictures". Find the time to fill in the baby book; designate one day a month to write in the baby book or a child to your letter summing up all the things you want to remember or say to them.
The oldest has you all to herself because there are no other children. The youngest gets you all to herself because the other two are off at school. The middle never gets that alone time. Make time to date your children. Once a month take a child out for an activity without any siblings. You could go to the movies, out to eat, to the park, on a long walk, or to the library. The activity doesn't matter as long as it is something the child enjoys and it is sibling free.
It may seem simpler to send the middle child off to play with the oldest and his friends or the youngest and her friends, especially if close in age, but do not do it. Let each child have their own friends. What is one extra child when you already have four or five in the house? Sign your children up for different activities, unless both stress a strong (independent) interest in the same activity. Don't put your children in the same sports so they can be on the same team just because it is easier for you or because your children just want to compete. Sibling bonds will come; don't force them.
I have a middle child as well, and she is the only girl. Im pretty sure she has learned how to work the system to her benefit. Her brothers often feel she gets more attention and is spoiled. She has a strong personality and lot of activites and friends.
When shes not bossing them around she has a charming way of getting whatever she wants out of them so I'm certain shes got the jump on them! She's really figured out this whole middle child thing. All I can do is sit back and grin. Good hub.
As a middle child I can certainly relate to this article. I was also the only girl and that didnt really make a difference either. Great article!

saying "i love you" to my girlfriend for the first time was scary for me. i'd known for a while i'd loved her, but i was too scared to say it. i did not want our relationship to change. did i want to be romantic or a matter-of-fact? did i want to say it after sex or as soon as i saw her? should i say it when she's in a bad mood or in a good mood?
never did i once worry about how she'd react. it's true, she could have felt differently than me. but i was more worried about whether i truly loved her and or whether i just wanted to say it. my biggest worry was that she'd say it before me. in my mind, if she did, she'd be setting the tone of our relationship. and while i'm comfortable with her doing things for and to me, there was a part of me that demanded i stay in control of my destiny. i did not feel i could do that if she said it first.
yet if i truly loved her, it didn't matter who said it first. what she did would not change the fact that i am always in control of me. but if i didn't love her and was just attempting to maintain control, then my saying it would be a lie to myself and her.
so what did i do?
i told myself to forget it. while i did think about her alot when i was apart from her, leading me to believe i loved her, while with her, i never felt the need to say so. it's not because i didn't love her, it's because i was having too much fun to process my feelings for her. spending time with her is like spending time watching my favorite TV show - mindless. i don't mean that in a bad way. it's just means that i do not think about what's going on inside me when i'm with her. i just be. i go with the flow.
i figured if i truly loved her, the right time would present itself. i decided not to think about how to say it, i'd just say it when it felt right.
when we saw each other again, we fell into our groove and i forgot all about my worries. then we were horsing around, wrestling naked. i pinned her, looked deep into her eyes and mouthed the three magic words. she mouthed "i know" and kissed me. then she pulled my hair and did a reversal, pinning me on my back. by this point i'd forgotten about it and we wrestled some more and had some of the best sex of my life.
as we cuddled, she told me she loved me too. i said, "you said it first. you lose." she punched me in the arm and we did it again.

Top Chef: The Last Chance
Wow – see that table of chefs right there? That's quite a collection of famous chefs, and this was one hell of a great elimination challenge. I originally thought this episode was going to somehow relate to Valentine's Day but leave it to Top Chef to redeem some of their poor elimination decisions with this very classy and classic "Last Supper" challenge. From roast chicken to eggs benedict, each contestant had to cook a dish chosen by one of the famous chefs above as the last meal they would ever want to eat. I love this concept, not to mention, the judges made a rational elimination too!
We really like the concept of Last Supper around here. Knowing what someone would want to eat for their final meal tells a lot about a chef, a foodie, or just anyone, but more importantly this question was also the inspiration for the Monthly Mouthful!
With renowned chefs like Jacques Pepin, Lidia Bastianach and Wylie Dufresne, this episode was also about proper execution. While the tasks might have seemed simple – cook an egg, roast a chicken, sear some salmon – the judges were looking for mastery of the classics, a set of skills no chef should go to the finale without.
So we're down to the final four: Hosea, Carla, Fabio and Stefan. But the elimination was a close call! As soon as they pointed out that Stefan's salmon was overcooked, I honestly thought he was going home. I vowed to myself that I would stop writing these blogs so that everyone I start rooting for would stop getting kicked off. So thank g-d I didn't have to do that.
I think for once the judges looked at the entire season rather than this one meal. I'll admit that Stefan seemed to have commit a worse culinary crime in this episode than Leah did (overcooked salmon versus thin hollandaise sauce..hmm…). But obviously, I'm happy with their decision because Stefan definitely deserves to be in the final four.
I will say though that you should never be too confident about making anything because you are probably just going to jinx yourself. All of the contestants (except Carla I would say) overjoyed in the fact that their dishes sounded easy, but they should have known not to celebrate until they actually cooked them. Stefan especially, thought he had this challenge and a ticket to the finals in the bag.
But in the end, a runny eggs benedict sent Leah home. And now that she is gone, I will try to be more tasteful when I talk about her. You see, my problem with Leah as a chef was not that she isn't a good chef but that she never seemed to care much about the competition. Whenever she cooked, she would lways talks about her dish like it's just something she's doing to get through the day and the challenge. Her heart just wasn't it. I mean, she gave up on a quickfire for goodness sake! Now, frankly, she has actually done a pretty darn good job for not really caring, but, her presence in the final 5 would have been so much more justifiable if she did.
And I'm not the only one who thinks that way, she admits it too! She wasn't that upset to go home and she even told Bravo TV that her 'head wasn't in the game.'
But unlike Leah, Fabio's head is certainly in the game, and well, so is his finger. He literally gave his finger to win this challenge and from the judges' praise of his chicken dish, it sounds like he deserved the win.
Here's a question: Would you have allowed Fabio some extra assistance given his broken finger/hand?
I guess the bigger question here is: Does someone else lending a hand still make the final product your dish? Had they given him help, the dish would have still been Fabio's flavor palette and Fabio's conception. He could have coached a helper through peeling the potatoes, etc. I guess I just felt so bad for him having to peel those potatoes with a finger that just broke!
Competing with Fabio's chicken was Carla's squab and peas. Carla is really taking her simplistic approach and running with it and it's clearly working to her advantage. I have to say, her peas did look impressive, especially after I had just watched an episode of Alton Brown's Good Eats all about peas. It sounds like fresh tasting peas are hard to come by but she seems to really know how to pick them.
After a season of ups and downs, I think Carla has a good shot at the final three because she really listens to the challenges. Take this episode's quickfire for example – Wylie Dufresne says to cook an egg dish. Sure he's known for his molecular gastronomic work at WD-40, but at no point did he say "make me something using molecular gastronomy." So Carla just made some green eggs and ham – a playful, well executed dish – and won. So I think we can all learn a lesson here – keep it simple!
On a total sidenote, my mom and I watch Jacques Pepin's cooking show on WTTW and we love it! His dishes always sound so good, and they're simple too. I highly recommend the show :)

Host Marriott hopes being a REIT will be sweet BETHESDA, Md. - In this era of "de-REITing," Host Marriott Corp. has just completed its conversion to a real estate investment trust. The lodging and hospitality company elected REIT status Jan. 1.
"Today is a historic moment in Host Marriott Corporation's history," President and CEO Terence C. Golden says. "As a result of the strategic initiatives we have completed today, the company has dramatically increased its growth potential, diversified its product line, further solidified its position as the leading owner of luxury hotels, strengthened its financial position and increased its competitiveness by lowering its taxes and overall cost of capital."
In April 1998, the company announced its intention to convert to REIT status because it would afford better growth prospects and provide the opportunity for better shareholder returns, the company says. Also, the move would significantly lower the company's corporate income taxes.
"The initiatives which have now been fully implemented have improved our financial flexibility and strengthened our balance sheet, providing Host Marriott with the financial capability to take advantage of opportunities in 1999," says Robert E. Parsons Jr., executive vice president and CFO.
Since the April 1998 announcement, Host Marriott has completed several significant transactions. They include:
* Acquiring the Blackstone portfolio of luxury hotels for $1.5 billion.
* Completing public and private partnership roll-ups representing new acquisitions totaling about $650 million.
* Refinancing approximately $2.2 billion of debt at lower interest rates with extended maturity dates.
* Expanding the company's line of credit to $1.25 billion from $500 million.
* Raising about $1 billion in equity.
Speaker says creating value critical to office success ATLANTA - Office buildings operating under a hospitality/service philosophy with day care, valet services, video conferencing and food service offered by the building's owners or management?
Instead of 50-page lease agreements, nine-page service agreements accompanying flexible, short-term leases and space that can be reconfigured literally over night?
Though posed as questions, those are the answers to "What's next?" - the theme of Carter & Associates-Oncor's 17th annual forecast breakfast held Jan. 14 in Atlanta, where real estate consultant and trainer Mike Lipsey discussed emerging trends in commercial real estate.
"We're transitioning from being in the real estate business to the business of being in real estate," Lipsey says. "We have the opportunity to create more value than ever before."
Lipsey used the example of a 500,000 sq. ft. Class-A building with flexible leases and amenities increasing rents by $2 per sq. ft. and generating an extra $1 million in net operating income. With a cap rate of .1, the building's value increases $10 million, Lipsey says.
Those who don't enhance services will see tenants, cash flow and occupancy rates diminish, he said. "There's only one obstacle: mind-set," Lipsey says. "Two things happen. They see success and loss of business."
As for the Atlanta real estate market and "with almost psychic accuracy," Carter & Associates predicts market equilibrium over the next three years.
Office delivery, at 7.05 million sq. ft. in 1998, is expected to decline to about 4 million sq. ft. in 1999 and 3.5 million sq. ft. in 2000 and 2001.
After absorbing 5.6 million sq. ft. of office space in 1998, the Atlanta market's net absorption is expected to drop to more than 4 million sq. ft. in 1999, about 3 million sq. ft. in 2000 and just under 3 million sq. ft. in 2001. Vacancy rates should hover around 1998's level of 11.2%, according to Carter.
Developer sees C&W, TRESCO as Trump cards NEW YORK - Real estate glamour boy Donald Trump must believe two service providers are better than one. His Trump Organization has hired Cushman & Wakefield and Tishman Real Estate Services (TRESCO) as exclusive co-leasing and sales agents for the GM Building at 767 Fifth Ave.
Trump bought the 2 million sq. ft. trophy building in July 1998. He plans to renovate and upgrade the building, which will officially be known as The General Motors Building at Trump International Plaza (though it's a safe bet businessmen will continue to refer to it by its old name). Studies are being conducted about how to best redesign the plaza area and improve delivery of services and amenities.
The property offers a combination of commercial office space and commercial condominiums.
Both Cushman & Wakefield President and CEO Arthur Mirante II and TRESCO President Joseph J. Simone say they look forward to leasing and selling space for Trump. "This is an extraordinary opportunity to handle the marketing of one of the world's most renowned office towers," Mirante says.
Berkshire asks shareholders to resist low-ball offer BOSTON - "Don't do it," Berkshire Realty Company Inc. is telling its shareholders.
On Jan. 8, the multifamily REIT issued a statement asking its shareholders to reject an unsolicited tender offer by Summit Venture Partners to purchase up to 2% of the outstanding shares of Berkshire's common stock. Berkshire says Summit Venture's offer of $7 a share - 27% below the Jan. 7 closing price of $9.56 per share - is unacceptable.
It seems Berkshire feels Summit Venture Partners could be more aptly renamed "Summit Vulture Partners."
Bizarre merger triangle moves one step closer NEW YORK and FORT WORTH, Texas - With its on-and-off again nature and threatened lawsuits, the possible merger involving Reckson Associates Realty Corp., Crescent Real Estate Equities Co. and Tower Realty Trust Inc. sometimes seems more a love triangle than a real estate transaction. The latest maneuvering occurred in December when the parties issued a three-way release stating that they have revised the merger agreement that will blend Tower Realty into the other two.
Under terms of the revised merger agreement, Metropolitan Partners LLC - an entity controlled by Reckson and in which Crescent holds an interest - will acquire Tower for a combination of cash and a new Reckson equity security. The terms differ from those included in the original agreement that was announced July 9, 1998.
Under the original agreement valued at $734 million, Metropolitan - at the time a 50/50 joint venture with Crescent - would have acquired Tower for $24 per share in cash. The new merger agreement is expected to close during the first quarter of this year, subject to the approval of Tower shareholders.
But shareholder approval is anything but a done deal.
Since the July announcement, Tower has filed a $75 million lawsuit against Metropolitan, charging the company with willfully breaching the merger agreement. For its part, Metropolitan has contended that during the due diligence process, it found possible problems with Tower's income stream that could jeopardize the company's REIT status.
Tower responded by saying Metropolitan had "unequivocally said they will not proceed with the current transaction."
Soon after, a name-calling battle raged in the daily press between between Tower and Crescent.
Now (as of Dec. 8, anyway), the transaction is back on track. "We are very pleased to have been able to negotiate a new agreement on terms that are beneficial to all parties," Reckson President and CEO Scott Rechler says. "This innovative structure enables Reckson to issue common securities at an 18% premium to our closing common stock price at a time of overall market illiquidity.
"Acquiring Tower on these terms will give Reckson the initial presence and capital structure necessary to launch our New York platform," he adds. Tower's portfolio includes 2.3 million sq. ft. of prime New York City office space.
Crescent President and CEO Gerald W. Haddock says he is glad to have resolved the contentious issues that emerged during negotiations. Larry Feldman, Tower's chairman, CEO and president at the time the original merger was announced, is no longer around. He resigned last year.
LoopNet takes ONCOR International online SAN FRANCISCO - LoopNet Inc. of Burlingame, Calif., has convinced Washington D.C.-based Oncor International to join the modern age.
In December, Oncor became a member of LoopNet, the Internet's largest commercial property listing and information service. The 2,900 real estate professionals affiliated with Oncor will join more than 60,000 of their colleagues in LoopNet's community.
"LoopNet provides our commercial real estate professionals with the exposure they need to market their properties worldwide," says David A. Ball, Oncor president and CEO. "LoopNet has clearly become the leading destination for anyone who is looking for available properties."
At LoopNet (www.loopnet.com), President Dennis DeAndre says adding Oncor to its membership base is significant for his company. "The participation of Oncor International will have a dramatic effect on LoopNet's coverage worldwide," he believes. "Oncor International is comprised of brokerage firms that are leaders in all of their respective markets, and its endorsement helps solidify Loop Net's position as the premier location to market commercial real estate on the Internet."
LoopNet, a listing service used by more than 60 commercial real estate organizations, says 115,000 properties are viewed on its site every day.
With Greenwich, WMF has new position in CMBS VIENNA, Va. - The WMF Group Ltd. has expanded its relationship with Greenwich Capital, a subsidiary of National Westminster Bank.
WMF and Greenwich have formed a strategic business relationship with Greenwich Capital to originate, service and securitize commercial loans.
Greenwich Capital already serves as lender for Commercial Mortgage Investment Trust Inc. (COMIT), a mortgage REIT managed by WMF Carbon Mesa Advisors.
As a result of the agreement signed by Greenwich and WMF, WMF has formed WMF Funding, a new division of WMF Washington Mortgage Corp. WMF Funding will be headquartered in Charlotte, N.C.
Mike Greco, WMF Capital CEO, will head WMF Funding. WMF Group President Shekar Narasimhan says Greenwich's backing will benefit the newly formed WMF Funding. "This agreement expands WMF's relationship with Greenwich Capital and reestablishes our position in the securitization business within the risk parameters set by the company," Greco says.
At Greenwich Capital, Paul Nidenberg also is upbeat. "With this relationship, we will be able to efficiently originate loans through WMF's existing network and solidify our position as a primary player in the CMBS industry by coming to market on a consistent basis," he says.
Olympus and Amresco join to invest in securities DALLAS - Olympus Real Estate Corp. and Amresco Capital Trust just formed a joint venture to invest in commercial mortgage-backed securities, mezzanine debt, distressed debt and other structured-finance obligations.
Amreit Manager Inc., which manages Amresco Capital, will identify and manage the joint venture's investments. The JV will create investment opportunities for both member companies in the commercial mortgage sector.
"Amresco Capital Trust brings unique investment expertise to the joint venture and, coupled with the diverse experience of the Olympus team, we believe we have the necessary resources for a successful investment initiative," Olympus President and CEO David B. Deniger says.
First Industrial restructures, eliminates 34 positions CHICAGO - First Industrial Realty Trust, one of the country's largest industrial REITs, recently completed its reorganization aimed at eliminating duplicative capacity and achieving greater organizational efficiency. Under the restructuring, 34 positions were eliminated.
"We have consolidated our national network from seven to three regions and cut approximately $7 million from expected 1999 overhead costs," President and CEO Michael W. Brennan says.

|outlook import
17/11/2005 10:58am
|Im not very familiar with outlook so i cant say i use personall address books, but the scribe import function for this type does not display a dialog box. Is this a bug or am i using it wrong.
(when the groupware is more stable i might start converting some people i know from outlook to inscribe. Hence the interest)
17/11/2005 11:35am
|I think it got broken last time I refactored the Outlook code. No one has complained in over a year so it's not getting used... I'll probably pull it in some future release.
17/11/2005 9:02pm
|I have used the outlook import option quite a bit. I am not sure why, but occasionally when I try to do the import it crashes. Sometimes I can retry the import and it works fine, other times it keeps dying on me.
My setup is I use my own pst files as a personal archive. I open the default profile for outlook and open my personal pst file with it then close out of Outlook. I then go in scribe and attempt to import from outlook, I can then choose my personal pst file and try to import it. Normally it crashes at the same point, but it's been a few weeks since I tried.
I haven't complained/commented because I have outlook (used at work) and can get to that email if I need to, even though having it in scribe would be wonderful.
20/11/2005 11:36pm
|Jon: Would you be able to run a debug build for me?
20/11/2005 11:38pm
|Sure! I assume dgbview from sysinternals with it? You can send a link or the whole thing to my registered email.
20/11/2005 11:45pm
|Try this.
You need these DLL's as well.
It'll create a "CrashData.txt" file in the scribe folder when it crashes, which you should send to me. You don't need to run any other special software.

In this months Practice section Jerry will walk you through just that, capturing images with chaos all around him yet you would never know it when you see the end result. We get emails often about our post production workflow and so we took decided it would be great to answer it in detail for our Tip of the Iceberg section. Find out what we do, who we use and Jerry's beliefs on post production. Speaking of post production, sometimes we want to add a little flair to the images we take. One option is with textures in post production, but what about textures in camera? Watch this months Icing on the Cake as Jerry will show you how to use different elements around you to create unique images straight out of camera.

"Central Atlantique" Yellow Wagtails – flava x iberiae
by Eugene Archer
Hi Martin,
Hope all are well there ?
Regarding the Filey wagtail I find it a bit difficult to judge exactly the colour of the upperparts, especially around the head so I don't know if this will be of much use but here's something else to muddle up the possibilities:
In western France (essentially from the Gironde up the Loire valleys) there is a fairly stable population (maybe 30% in some areas) of intergrade Yellow Wagtails showing plumage characters of both Blue-headed flava and Spanish iberiae. These bird are usually referred to as "Central atlantique" Yellow Wagtails locally.
Classic examples look basically like a normal flava but with a pure white throat. The blue-grey crown and nape are sometimes a little darker and often there is a prominent white sub-ocular crescent. It has also been suggested that 2CY birds may be more prone to exhibiting a full white throat. I've seen individuals with slightly contrastingly darker ear-coverts but not quite the full mid-grey and dark-grey head pattern of typical iberiae as it were. They give raspy calls too, like a lot of the birds around here, but I don't have any recordings of them unfortunately.
Philippe Dubois wrote an interesting article on Yellow Wagtails in France in Ornithos, vol 8-2: 44-73 (2001) which covers the various intergrades including those on the Mediterranean coast (iberiae x cinereocapilla) which apparently can show the full range of mixed characters !
A few photos attached to show various birds from the Loire estuary region , some with variable amounts of yellow suffusions on the lower throat, some with more or less prominent supercilliums, etc. etc. ! Complicated, eh 😉
All the best,
