This is not a very complex issue to date. Systematically, our public education system has been about training students to sit still and listen to the information politicians, administrators, and teachers have determined is important for them to know. Their job is then to repeat back that information to confirm its transmission. Our current educational reform climate does nothing to change this. However, it might just provide enough wiggle room for us to break free.
Our public education system continues to be a top-down system where federal politicians decide what will be happening in schools. The next level of control is the state, followed by the school board and superintendent, then the teachers.
The last person to ever be asked what it is they want to learn is the student. In a traditional school trajectory, perhaps only at the doctoral level does a student begin to articulate her own desires for learning.
Thus, currently, our standardized-testing obsessed culture is built-upon tyranny. It is declared the rule of the land by those in power, backed by the lobbyists of the billion-dollar-a-year plus education economy, and thus, everyone else's livelihood in the system depends on following these orders. Administrators, teachers, and students, are all bound by the decree of what education is today. It is essentially a totalitarian system., as it requires complete subservience to the state.
Of course, some are able to escape this condition, and that option is called economic privilege and private school.
As the adults, the responsible ones in our system, we must begin to liberate ourselves and thus the children from this educational culture of oppression.
It could be said that all public schools are not all the same, that there's a spectrum. Sure that's true. There are maximum security schools and minimum security schools, but in my experience they are all still prisons. Prisons of bodies and minds. Administrators are the wardens and teachers are the guards.
I have found one exemplar as of late in the public sector, New Country School in Minnesota. Of all the innovations in public and charter education, this is the only (and please show me more if you know of them!) example of a public school breaking down the institution of education, and, instead, allowing for the nature of learning. Here's one of their core values: "The schools goal should apply to all students, although the means to these goals will vary as those students vary themselves." They were named one of the eight highest performing charter schools in the U.S.
As can be expected, people do what they need to in order to survive. This is true for administrators and teachers, who follow the rules so that they can get paid, and true for students who follow the rules so that they can get grades. Now I have great respect for teachers and students. I know that many would not be doing it this way, if we didn't "have" to.
So here's the deal people. There has to be some sort of civil disobedience. Decide right now to dedicate yourself to being a force of lasting change, or not, but decide now. Begin in small ways that will not cost you your job right off the bat. Also develop a plan that does not injure students as they are the innocent bystanders in the battles in education. Perhaps it's developing an innovative grading policy that frees your classroom from their addiction. Perhaps its a classroom sized decision-making process that begins with students' voices, instead of ending with their drop-out rates. Find ways to begin transitioning the responsibility of learning to students along with ways to allow their passions to guide that learning. Support students in opting-out of standardized testing while supporting them in alternate ways of proving their ability to college admissions departments.
Find allies. If your principal or superintendent isn't one already then you will need a stronger show of force than just yourself. Use the PLN as a resource, colleagues and students, too. Begin researching and formulating your argument and backing up your decisions to change course. Articulate your aims from the outset, develop strategies to achieve them. Begin with small, achievable actions to strengthen your resolve and belief that this can work. The toughest battles aren't going anywhere.
History is written every minute of every day by our individual actions (or inaction) collectively aggregated. Politicians and lobbyists are going to do this for us.
With hope,

Shoreline Eight in need of a stable, loving home
Man, this has been one daffy off-season. To wit(less):
* About a seventh of the state's 146 teams have had a coaching change.
* The CIAC moved its finals to Arute Field at Central Connecticut after three years at The Rent.
* The CIAC's football committee has talked amongst themselves about the addition of a fifth division in 2015. It could either be an open division, an all co-op/tech school division, or for a fifth class.
* The Shoreline Eight of the Pequot Football Conference are looking for a new suitor. They talked to Southern Connecticut Conference commish Al Carbone Monday.
A source told The Day that those within the Shoreline have encouraged the league to speak with the Eastern Connecticut Conference.
Where to begin, where to begin.
Let's go backwards and focus on the Shoreline Eight today.
The Eight are Coginchaug of Durham, Cromwell, Haddam-Killingworth, Hyde of New Haven, Morgan of Clinton, North Branford, the Old Saybrook/Westbrook co-op, and the Valley Regional/Old Lyme co-op.
The Eight are concerned about the Pequot's future. The East Hampton/Vinal Tech co-op just left for the Constitution State Conference.
Sources said Avon has applied to the Central Connecticut Conference.
Enfield and town neighbor Fermi are merging in 2014. Fermi plays in the CCC, while Enfield belongs to the North Central Connecticut Conference in all other sports.
Travel is another issue for some of The Eight, albeit a much lesser one.
Connecticut is a small state, even if many Nutmeggers consider a drive from New Haven to London akin to crossing Asia.
On the other hand, we'd rather take a 45-minute bus trip one way then one that takes another hour.
Valley/Old Lyme lucked out next season as its longest road trips are within its division — Hyde and Cromwell.
Old Saybrook/Westbrook, on the other hand, has interdivision games at Nonnewaug of Woodbury, Stafford and Windsor Locks.
"But wait," you exclaim. "The SCC is filled with large schools who are mas macho. How could The Eight survive?"
Whelp, the SCC has six Class M schools — East Haven (459 boys), Foran of Milford (474), Hillhouse of New Haven (451), Law of Milford (490), Lyman Hall of Wallingford (499), and Sheehan of Wallingford (450). None are "too big" for the Eight to play.
Odds are that the SCC would add a third division to evenly break up 27 schools. Reckon it would look something like this:
DIVISION I: Hamden (914), Fairfield Prep (908), Xavier of Middletown (881), Amity of Woodbridge (856), Cheshire (775), Shelton (772), West Haven (772), Notre Dame-West Haven (624) and Hand of Madison (616).
DIVISION II: North Haven (639), Wilbur Cross of New Haven (615), Guilford (551), Branford (526), Lyman Hall, Law, Foran, Sheehan and Hillhouse.
DIVISION III: East Haven, Valley Regional/Old Lyme (384), Haddam-Killingworth (334), Old Saybrook/Westbrook (332), North Branford (313), Coginchaug (283), Morgan (291), Cromwell (277), and Hyde (153).
That third division would be suit The Eight just fine.
(Hand was placed in D-1 instead of North Haven because of its pedigree. East Haven was placed in D-3 as it would be one of the shortest trips for the Eight, and because it's been the SCC's most downtrodden program — it's 9-61-1 over the last seven seasons.)
No idea how the SCC would schedule interdivision games. A school's size doesn't equate to winning, but it wouldn't be right to schedule a Coginchaug and Morgan against a Cheshire or Xavier. It wouldn't benefit of them either.
Aside from figuring out crossovers, the Eight and the SCC look like a swell fit.
The ECC may be a better fit based on both logistics and size (the majority of its teams are Class M or S.)
No offense to the Eight, but it's best they don't go to the ECC. And it pains us to write that as we have a special place in our heart for the Pequot and its small-town charms.
Every league in the state has its issues, but the ECC may be the most dysfunctional when it comes to football.
There's been too many times in which an ECC team has reacted to being scheduled against a slightly bigger school as if it were facing Alabama. On a field filled overrun by hungry wolverines. And they have to wear jerseys made out of Spam, too.
Eastern Connecticut Conference? More like Everyone Constantly Complains.
It doesn't help that Bacon Academy and Woodstock Academy, two of the league's larger schools, have two of the youngest programs and have struggled.
The presence of Norwich Free Academy is another issue as it's one of the state's largest schools (1,065 boys). That written, no one in the ECC complained about playing the Wildcats when they were a consistent loser in the eighties and nineties.
The addition of the Eight would force some ECC schools to move up a division to accommodate its new members.
Yeah, good luck with that. The league couldn't get anyone to move into the Large Division next season, resulting in a 4-6-5 division format.
Go west, Shoreline Eight, to the Southern Connecticut Conference. Fare thee well.
You've read enough for one sitting, so we'll save the other stuff for another blog.
Thanks for reading.

Germany finished the first round with a 4-1 record, while the Thais fell to 2-3.The taller German players out-blocked Thailand by an overwhelming margin of 17-3. Christiane Furst registered four blocks and Margareta Kozuch, Kathleen Weiss and Corina Ssuschke had three apiece. Kozuch paced the German attack with 16 points while Ssuschke and Maren Brinker contributed 11 and 10 points respectively.The match didn't start well for Thailand. The usually ultra-reliable Nootsara Tomkom made an uncharacteristic setting error, big hitter Onuma Sittirak was well blocked by Christiane Furst, two Thai serves landed in the net and the German attack was simply hammering the Thai defence. Thai coach Kiattipong Radchatgriengkai called a timeout after just four points, but there was little he could do to help his team deal with a confident display by Germany. And there wasn't just one player for the Thais to focus on. The Germans were sharing the attacking load. Brinker and Ssuschke were both in good form, but the whole team was working hard and very efficiently. A spike by Heike Beier brought set-point and Malika Kanthong gifted the set to Germany by dunking a serve into the net. Radchatgriengkai took off Tomkom at the start of the second set in favour of Kamonporn Sukmak and while the Thais' defence edged up a notch, their attack was being blunted by Germany's superior defence. Furst and Brinker came up with successive blocks as Germany cruised to an 8-3 lead at the first technical timeout. Sittirak finally landed one of her trademark mammoth blows 15 points into the set and captain Wilavan Apinyapong then made a sensational dig to help the Thais earn another point. But Ssuschke slammed down three spikes and the Germans continued to pull away from the Thais, leading by eight at the second TTO. Radchatgriengkai brought back Tomkom towards the end of the set and gave a runout to 18-year-old lefty Rasamee Supamool, who smacked a fine spike down the line for her first point. But that only made the score 22-11. Ssuschke finished the set off with a thumping crosscourt drive for set-point and ended with a block on Apinyapong. Successive blocks by Furst, Beier and Kozuch early in the third set underlined the uphill task facing the Thais and some incredible German defending made their task even harder. Kozuch then found her cannon range and started peppering the Thais with huge hits and soon the Germans were 16-5 ahead. The Germans came up with three more successive block points – against Em-orn Phansui, Apinyapong and Sittirak – but Sittirak landed three spikes to bring some respectability to the Thai score. Finally, Kozuch brought the match to its conclusion with three hefty spikes.

One year before he was appointed senior executive physician for the Miami VA Healthcare System in 2010, Vincent A. DeGennaro surrendered his medical license in New York, stemming from a disciplinary finding in a Florida case of a patient who died under his care at a Fort Lauderdale hospital.
According to the complaint filed with the Florida Board of Medicine, DeGennaro botched a number of his responsibilities while treating a patient for severe abdominal pain at Holy Cross Hospital in January 2003 — including failing to follow up and misinterpreting X-rays of the patient, failing to respond to the patient's symptoms and complaints, failing to act on the urgent need for surgery and failing to recognize that the patient had a torn large intestine.
DeGennaro, who remains licensed to practice medicine in Florida, could not be reached at his home in Pompano Beach, where a recorded greeting says messages will not be returned. He also could not be reached through the Miami VA's public affairs office, which issued a statement in response to interview requests.
"The Professional Standards Board (PSB) here at the Miami VA Healthcare System … found that this action had no bearing on his practice at the Miami VAHS," Shane Suzuki, public affairs officer for the Miami VA, wrote in the statement. "In addition, the PSB also found that no further action was warranted.''

DeGennaro's role is to "oversee clinical operations of the Miami VA Healthcare System,'' Suzuki said, which includes the hospital in Miami and several community clinics in Miami-Dade and Broward counties. He also sees patients and performs surgeries.
Nationally, the Department of Veterans Affairs has been under intense scrutiny for long patient waits for care and falsified records covering up delays that, in some cases, may have resulted in deaths. Miami VA's public affairs office has not responded to the Herald's inquiries about whether the healthcare system keeps secret waiting lists for patient appointments.
Florida's complaint against DeGennaro details the events in 2003 that led to his discipline. The patient, described in the document by the initials R.B., died four days after showing up at Holy Cross complaining of acute abdominal pain and constipation, and reporting a 20-year-history of Crohn's disease.
According to the complaint, DeGennaro elected to "hydrate the patient for 48 hours prior to scheduled surgery,'' and later prescribed Demerol, a narcotic pain killer, and Vistaril, a sedative, when the patient reported moderate to severe pain.
DeGennaro interpreted an X-ray of the patient as showing "air in the colon but not dilated," but the radiologist noted "abnormal distension," according to the complaint.
After two days in the hospital, another physician found the patient "writhing in pain without relief from medication,'' according to the complaint. He received a second abdominal X-ray, but the results were not screened until the following day.
On his third day in the hospital, the complaint states, patient R.B. again was seen by DeGennaro, who noted that the patient was in pain, short of breath, and needed to go "to OR now.'' The patient's heart stopped beating on the way to the operating room, but he was resuscitated.
DeGennaro's pre-surgical diagnosis of the patient had been a perforated organ, but the operation revealed a torn large intestine and a distended colon.
The day after surgery, R.B. died in the intensive care unit.
DeGennaro, a colon and rectal surgeon by training, could have had his medical license permanently revoked or suspended.
Instead, after DeGennaro agreed to a settlement in June 2008, the Board of Medicine censured him with a letter of concern, fined him $5,000, imposed $2,744 in legal costs, required him to complete 50 hours of community service and five hours of continuing medical education, and ordered him to deliver a one hour lecture on abdominal emergency surgeries.
The state of New York — where DeGennaro had been licensed to practice since August 1973 — also charged him with professional misconduct as a result of the findings in Florida. But rather than settle the charge in New York by accepting censure and a $5,000 fine, DeGennaro surrendered his New York medical license in May 2009 and agreed never to reapply for a physician's license or practice medicine in that state again.
DeGennaro, 68, now is responsible for overseeing dozens of physicians at the sprawling Miami VA Healthcare System, and ensuring they deliver the best care possible to veteran patients. According to his résumé supplied by the public affairs office, he was hired by the Miami VA as assistant chief of surgery in 2004, one year after patient R.B. died under his care.
Despite his leadership position, DeGennaro has remained behind the scenes, declining interview requests from the Miami Herald and other media after the April revelation that a combat veteran died of an overdose while enrolled in a residential drug abuse rehabilitation program at the Miami VA, followed by accusations from a VA employee that administrators routinely ignore reports of crimes and other wrongdoing.
DeGennaro's selection as permanent chief of staff in 2011 was approved at the national VA office in Washington, according to Suzuki's statement.
In addition to the Florida and New York disciplinary actions, DeGennaro's online physician's profile with the Florida Department of Health notes that he has been sanctioned by the Medicaid program.
Shelisha Coleman, a spokeswoman for the Agency for Health Care Administration, which administers the Medicaid program in Florida, said the office could not locate any record of a sanction because the action may have been imposed "years ago'' and the records destroyed.
Coleman said any Medicaid sanction would have been separate from the administrative complaint filed by the Board of Medicine in the case of patient R.B.
Suzuki's statement said the state of New York had issued a Medicaid sanction against DeGennaro, but he added that it was "an administrative mistake on their behalf and should have been removed.''
A past president of the Florida Medical Association, the state's largest and most influential physicians advocacy group, and an affiliate associate professor of surgery at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine, DeGennaro holds a number of awards for charitable work in South Florida and abroad.
He volunteers his medical services in Haiti, including a surgery program in partnership with the nonprofit Project Medishare, and he has made numerous trips to the island to perform cleft palate surgeries, according to a profile of DeGennaro written by the Florida Medical Association in 2012, when he was incoming president.
Despite the national focus on the VA in recent weeks for excessive wait times for appointments and secret lists at some facilities of the VA's 150-hospital medical system, many veterans are satisfied with the healthcare they receive at the government-run medical centers, said U.S. Rep. Joe Garcia, a South Florida Democrat.
Garcia said he would "reserve judgment" on DeGennaro's role as the Miami VA's chief of staff, but added that he's not yet satisfied with the system's administration.
"I've got a concern with the VA and the healthcare that is being given across the board,'' said Garcia, who spent Memorial Day weekend touring VA clinics and meeting with veterans and administrators. "I want to be clear here: The overwhelming majority of people I've spoken to, those that receive care, were happy that they were getting it at the VA. … They just want it to work.''

Aquila Racing is the brand name of our new founded company in the motocross industry.
We want the logo to have some association to eagle (aquila means eagle in latin). Aquila is also a constellation, so maybe the logo also could have some association to stars. The logo should be simple, so people would directly associate to the company when they see it, but still cool. We don't want the logo to look like any other logo among the motocross companies, but we want to show an example of a logo we like, for some inspiration. The Fox Racing logo is really cool.

It might be a little premature to announce that but my new film called "PLANET OF BABEL" is in the final stage of production. I've just showed the final cut to our channel's executives and hopefully after some minor revisions it will be aired by RUSSIA-1. We keep our fingers crossed. The film (as it was mentioned in earlier posts) is telling the story of the Great Recession through the eyes of ordinary people all across the globe. It is raising questions of moral and ethical degradation caused by our today's obsession with material wealth and institutionalized individualism.
We've been shooting this doc in collaboration with talented people from Europe, US and Asia. Everywhere we were met with open arms and people's willingness to contribute. It would've been impossible to accomplish such a task traveling as a fully equipped tv-crew (given all the associated expenses), so this was the time when our DSLR techniques paid off well. I switched to Nikon D800 completely while my assistant Oleg Segeev was mostly operating the beautiful tiny (hacked) GH2. In my further posts I hope to share some experience as of how to produce a film comprising over 10 countries (from Greece and US to China and Syria) with only a lightweight bagpack and a tripod.

Tedeschi Trucks Band with Eric Holland (photo by Blake Budney)
Eric Holland
The word "travel" is nothing new to WFUV's fill-in air personality Eric Holland - after flying all over the globe to co-host a bilingual radio show in Japan and program a classic rock station in Honolulu, he's seen it all. With these exotic endeavors behind him, Eric has landed in New York, where he is proud to call WFUV home.
After growing up in Massachusetts, Eric attended Ithaca College, where his radio career took flight. Following graduation, Eric crisscrossed the country, working at WAQY in Springfield, MA and at WKGB in upstate New York, before hitting Charleston, SC, New Orleans, Memphis, Austin, Denver, and, eventually, Honolulu, where he was the Program Director/Afternoon Host at Classic Rock 98.5. After this exhausting quest, he ended up back in Massachusetts, where he taught classes at Emerson College, and later received his Master of Arts.
In Boston, Eric found that his thirst for travel still lingered. He flew off to Tokyo, Japan and co-hosted a radio program called Henna Communication, which featured popular music from all over the world. In the fall of 2007, Eric returned to the states. This time, Brooklyn was his destination. New York is where he found WFUV, and it proved to be a perfect match for him.
"It's an amazing treat to be able to draw on all the different genres in the FUV music library and be able to mix jazz, reggae, blues, soul, and funk in with rock. It's also a pleasure to be able to work with some of the best DJs I've ever heard."
Comfortable in front of the camera too, Eric has also been doing music reports on NY1, since July of 2012. He currently resides in Sugar Hill, where he sees a lot of live jazz, bicycles when the weather is good,and kicks back with episodes of The Simpsons and Family Guy.
Getting to Know...Eric Holland
Family (spouse? Kids?)
One black cat named Sabbath.
What are two or three things we might find you doing away from the station?
Riding my bicycle in Central Park.Playing chess or scrabble in my living room.Playing my harmonica along with Howlin' Wolf Records.
What would WFUV listeners be surprised to know about you?
I can get by speaking Japanese as I lived in Japan for 3 years.
What was the first record (single or album) you bought?
Led Zeppelin 4 & The Jimi Hendrix Experience Smash Hits (same time)
Name a song that defines you.
I Will Dare by The Replacements.
What would you have become if you didn't have a career in radio?
Do you cook? Do you have a signature dish?
I make my own pasta sauce with spicy Italian sausages and meatballs. It's heavy on pepper - red and black. I also saute garlic in both butter and oil to begin.
What wacky thing would you if you had the time (or guts)?
I'd like to tickle the belly of a penguin.

Pathways to Writing
A K-5 Modeled and Shared Writing Program
Pathways to Writing offers engaging resources to support students in writing and help teachers model and explicitly demonstrate the steps of the writing process. The program for Grades K3 includes large trifold poster kits (12 per grade) with full-color text passages and writing process organizers. Grades 45 provide these resources as charts on a CD-ROM with printable resources and files for interactive whiteboard or LCD projector. Detailed modeled and shared writing lesson plans have a two-part instructional sequence. Part 1 uses modeled and shared writing to demonstrate, teach, and practice a single stage in the writing process while focusing on a specific text type. In Part 2, students and teachers share in the creation of a piece of text in the same text type from prewriting through publishing. Other materials include a program guidebook, task cards for independent writing, and full-color classroom pointers posters.

Well, I guess I know what game to get in case I ever find free time outside of doing stuff for JG. :D
Rainy, you gotta check out some of the HUDs people are making. Not to mention an �ber HUD that I'm working on (took a screenie and put it in UMEC private forums). I've just started working on it, but don't have much time right now because I'm gonna see if I can beat Hurricane to GS #8. I did 32 missions in just over 2 hours today... Whew... That's about 1 mission every 4 minutes.

Two things:
First. it doesn't help when you post as GUEST. I like to know to whom I am talking to.
Second, I'm not really getting into it. It's pretty, and I'd love to watch someone else play... but I'm realizing that controlling a fifty+ ships in a RTS is not for me. I have never gotten into them, especially in multiplayer. Starcraft, C&C, Warcraft, they all kick my butt in MP.
It's not that I just need practice, or better strategy (the responses I expect to hear). It's that I don't have a knack for situational awareness, and I don't manage multiple groups of anything well. I'm a born corporal and/or technical advisor not in the TOE at all, not a master sergeant or officer. I've known that a long time, and I'm happy with it.
Thanks for the offer for help, though. I'd love to hear some war stories. :)

mmm...well, i have to confess i'm not good at multi-tasking in a 3D environment...nobody is. (well, maybe folk like firstkor13)
Situational Awareness tips
My usual thing is to keep my force composition simple...my disposition even simpler. And my tactical considerations fairly braindead.
I concentrate on having a force that supports one single combat advantage and i ignore anything else...which is why i never really did great in MP (though i never tried much in that arena. lol)
In the first half of the game it was heavy corvettes backed up with bombers....this was replaced with multigun corvettes backed up with cloaked fighters. The capital ships and other stuff was mainly to deal with what my combat focus couldn't handle or was in the wrong location to deal with...disposition mainly. (i'm one of those who liked playing AgeOfKings celtic race so i could mass produce light cavalry and giving my gold away to allies. heh)
Paper, Scissors, Rock kind of mentality never really appealed to me cause my situational awareness kinda sucks...my mentality was HVY VETTES+BOMBERS. UGH. (replaced by multi'vettes+cloaked)...hell, i maxxed out of cloaked fighters in the last few maps...nothing could touch em. muahahah
In the advanced stages of the game i rely heavily on minelayer corvettes to blunt the major forces arrayed against me...they take heavy casualties if i make a single mistake, but they can be replaced. (expensive, but they are a force multiplier)
For fighters i rely solely on bombers and then cloaked fighters (if you're taiidan, just have bombers. don't bother with silly defense fighters)
For corvettes in the combat arena, i go with about two dozen heavy corvettes that are replaced by multigun corvettes (multigun are FAST, LONG RANGE aggressors...on evasive they're a bitch to hit; plus, they SLAY enemy cloaked fighters if yer playing Taiidan)
For capital ships i go with support frigate madness...don't really rely on assault/ion/drone(or defense) frigates...though salvage vettes come in real handy and you can salvage LOTS of stuff. more than your build limitations even
for super capital ships i suggest destroyers over missile tech...though salvage anything you can...as for the cruisers? more the merrier, though i tend to limit myself to two carriers (kushan preferably)
probes, research vessels and the various other things i've not mentioned come in handy in MP...but i'm not your best bet for that stuff
My favorite way to play Homeworld is to rely SOLELY on heavy corvettes and their ability to "burst fire"
there's a trick to it:
Get about a dozen Hv.Vettes and put them in Evasive (F2)
Have them in formation and remember once you use the burst fire you'll break formation, so re-form them after the job's done
don't overuse burst
if you see a tight group of fighters approaching wait till they get within 5000m and activate the special ability
don't bother using burst fire more than once against a single group...after the first shot simply order them to attack as normal
do not rely on them to autoattack (it's slower rate of fire by default)
Guidestone has been kind enough to maintain a section devoted to strategy, and in particular a MuffyFAQ *g*
How i usually play is to build two groups of 12 hv.vettes in the beginning of the SP game. (if you sell your scouts and squeeze every last drop out of the first two maps you'll be able to afford 11 hv.vettes before even having to deal with the raiders in map2)
don't buy research vessels
don't buy another resource collector or resource controller till the third map (even then, limit your resource gathering to 2 collectors and 2 controllers...until you manage to salvage a carrier)
avoid using probes...they cost money
Above all. DON'T listen to fleet commands suggestions to CHECK THAT AREA OUT ASAP...take yer time and watch your resource ops.
Oh, and when you get a carrier i'd suggest toggling the "autolaunch" feature off (it's on by default)

helo muffy, rainy, et all. frstkor13 here, and I have a few links and a bit of advice for you.
first off since you like say you would love to hear some war stories well I can one up that... my team's(Freelance) homepage includes the most comprehensive strategy site for homeworld there is, with 100+ expert level recordings for you to watch. they are better than typed out war stories for sure.
Freelance site
also, you shouldn't be discouraged if multitasking is hard for you or irritating, its obviously hard for everyone. but, it's just like everything else that you have to learn to do. going from flying janes usaf flight sim to flying a betanix took soem getting used to too, but after some practice you learn how, and it will pay off, trust me. hw didn't get game of the year from tons of magazines for no reason. :D try practicing vs the computer on hard on talas crossroads. keep your resource op and your atacking force near the dust clouds near the center of the map. this will make it easier for you to watch both groups and it will seem less like multiasking and more like one battle.
so anyhow, check out the FL site first off, then watch some god recordings, and I mean really watch them... then try playing a cpu on talas for a bit. If you want more tell muffy to rouse me and I'll throw some more advice in.

ha - theres no way i could ever succeed playing Homeworld multiplayer - im just to damn used to my single player strategy that revolves around me loseing 0 units.
My strategy vs the computer is very simple.
9 multibeam frigates in a wall kills almost anything you choose to target. Anything they cant kill - the 7 missile destroyers behind them will.
Bunches of support frigates keep the multibeams & missile destroyers healthy. Just select a support frigate, hold down z and band box a group of multibeams, do it again, that that group of multibeams is sorted.

I captured the Taiidan Carrier in mission 5 (iirc) and evolved a stratagy around that.
Basically I use the carrier as a big resource controler/scout fleet. Assign a few multibeams and support frigates to keep her healthy and use her to store salvage corvets and a big ass wing of bombers.
If I run into a fleet that's too big, I pull the carrier back and send in the fleet of captured frigates/destroyers/cruisers to deal with it.
I just wish you could build multibeams

LOL! I love you Muffy, but sometimes you go overboard. I haven't even beaten the Great Wastes (L5?). I've learned most of the commands, and I'm even a dab hand at using salvage corvettes, but larger attacks on me (either in single or vs. cpu skirmish) are still confusing as hell. I can pause all I want (and I do) but I'm just not following the action.
The encouragement here is great. I followed your links, and I've heard the advice (I think I followed most of it - took a minute to decipher things like 3-0 2res and other abbreviations). The $8 copy of HW I bought included the Prima guide, so I have their advice to go on as well.
That's not the problem. I never expect in these games to be a decent PvPer, it's just not in me (trust me, I know). At least, not as a major player - I'm great at support. But even in vs.CPU games (my Starcraft experience comes to mind) I've had lots of problems. Not just managing my fleets (yes, I use KISS, and I know about hotkey grouping) but in understanding what my enemy is using.
I don't really know why I've posted all this. I guess I'm just posting a thank you, and reflecting on my absence of innate talent for RTS. Yes, I played other RTS games in the past, and never did get much better even with practice. I just don't think it's in me. Turn-based strategy, however... well, fear my Egyptian Modern Armor units! ;)
See y'all around. :)

: mmmmmm...i tend to panic in heated combat. It's kinda overwhelming. That is until i learned
the "paper, rock, scissors" approach to dealing with who attacks what,
a "hammer & anvil" strategy instead.
you know those corvettes and fighter combo i talked about? well, i keep those corvettes on evasive and they're the anvil. As soon as i commit them, i switch to my fighters who come in from the reserve position to strike the enemy capital ships one by one.
if i need heavier support ELSEWHERE, i alway count on my capital ships to do the blocking maneuvers (minelayer vettes i talked about are a support to this blocking force)
Again, let me stress i think most people gain satisfaction FROM the panic and the techniques they use. That's the joy of RTS.

Hrms... okay, I guess I *do* have some questions.
1) Is there a difference between Ion Frigates and Ion Array Frigates? if so, which should I keep, and which should I recycle?
2) By the end of Mission 9, I have 16 multibeam frigates. Do I even need to worry much anymore? What are their weaknesses (aside from lousy aim)?
That's all I can think of for now.

Ion frigates have a single cannon, Ion array frigates have several iirc,
the multibeam frigates are better than any other Ion frigate, but you have to be careful with em as they have a tendancy to hit friendlys. A group of MBFs can kill just about any ship in a matter of seconds.

ion array frigates trade rate of fire and agility for power....though their low maneuvability and inability to fire "on the fly" cripples them. (also, don't ever put capital ships in a formation. just group them by hotkey and order them around)
multibeam frigates just slay. good job, you "salvage monkey!" hehe...but don't use them in the attack on the supernova research station. they'll go boom from the radiation.
*non spoiler*
Oh, and the Sea of Shadows ghost ship you'll need to understand that it's "special ability" is disabled by the amount of shots that hit it, and not the damage inflicted. (and best bet is to use some scouts with them on F2 evasive and special ability to distract the missile cruiser...about 10 should do...otherwise that sucker just pounds your fighters/corvettes that are concentrating their fire on the Ghost ship...and besides, you'll want to "capture" it.)
try not to use the special function of the missile cruiser...it doesn't work that great cause it'll waste shots. Use it only if you love to see those missile fly! hhehe
The Supernova station takes some getting used to...i'd keep all your fighters and corvettes docked. (preferably having your corvettes in the carriers)
this is the map you get the ability to research and develop minelayer corvettes. have fun. they just SLAY capital ships. DATA: minefields last 15 minutes and take 5 to lay an entire field (get 9 minevettes and lay them at the spot where you see the enemy heavy cruiser, do this right before you launch your end game attack on the station)
DATA: it takes 5 salvettes to capture a heavy cruiser. It'll take AWHILE to transit to the mothership, and i usually don't bother waiting if i have a decent force. (the salvettes will survive the trip...might want to babysit them with a few support frigs.
DATA: best tactic for the end battle is to concentrate your fire on the Ion Cannon Frigates and anything that's attacking your support frigates...once you've got a second to spare take your missile cruiser and use some fancy camera angle to attack the defender wall exclusively...that'll cut down on the clutter.
again. good job on the multibeamers. keep them at the mothership for these two maps. *g*

Argh - cap ships and formations just *dont* blooming work.
Spend their whole time trying to stay in formation and not bloody shooting at the enemy.
nonetheless, Multibeam Frigates (arnt they called Corvettes?) grouped by 9, go nicely into a 3x3 wall formation that - assuming they have some lead time to form up - is quite devestating on the enemy, and they dont shoot each other in the arse - its always embarrasing when the majority of damage to your fleet comes from friendly fire.
I think that cap ships in formation are managable if you put them on evasive, as evasive ships break formation on attack, the cap ships when theyre in firing rage forget about trying to stay in formation and actually start shooting.
The multibeams I found work quite well in the supernova mission - just have them escorted by support frigates that have special functioned the entire group. The only problem is the frigates will then take damage - so you need to watch them and get them to repair each other. Its all a bit tricky. As I cannot pass up the mining oppertunities either, well getting resource collectors out to the roid patches is tricky - you need a carrier out there to repair them, and to watch the collectors carefully to stop them charging off accross the map and blowing up.
I think perhaps I shall play homeworld through again and capture zero units - except for the missions where capture is a mission objective. It will be interesting for once to actually finish with a mostly kushan fleet. tactics will have to change - the final mission might actually be difficult...

in twelve easy steps
ASAP: multiguns launched from mothership and sent above; minelayers from carriers and send to the front and laying
; support frigates on mothership; destroyer class+ capital ships to the far front (they'll be the first thing you'll order to attack); carriers to launch 75 cloaked fighters (two carriers spit them out fast enough); assault/ion frigates to the bottom; sensor array to far bottom along with collectors
take out the cruiser and destroyers while your lower force takes out those ICFs; watch your multivettes for opposing force from carrier
once done first combat theater send your carriers/collectors to the resource patch and refuel your cloaked fighters at MS; keep one carrier at base to support end game assault
send minelayers to the rear and continous lay
as soon as 2nd assault shows up in radar send your cloaked fighters to kill AFs then ICFs then HC
refuel at MS; don't forget to reinitiate minelayers
as soon as 3rd assault shows up lather, rinse, repeat
cancel minelayers and send to front; refuel cloaked fighters
the last assault from the front you'll want to let within shooting range of MS or you won't get Cpt.Elson period.
as soon as Elson starts his end game run just tag along behind him with everything and mop up
don't forget to refuel fighters/vettes halfway there

baad and muffy are psycho... DONT put cap ships in formation? What are you smoking?
If you dont put em in formation, some stupid ion cannon frigate gets in front of a Hvy cruiser and gets wasted by friendly fire.
Instead, put them in small, 3x3 or 4x4 formations, and not all in one big clump.
Rainy: have you patched it? There is at least one patch... just log onto WON and you'll get it.
Kami: Crapoclysm is NOT balanced. I dont see how classic ISNT balanced: both sides are basically the same. Please, share your wisdom on this to me.

I think I see... enough to say that, if your caps aren't in formation, they turn and respond better. The price they pay for that response, however, is increased Friendly Fire damage. *shrug*
I did patch, I thought. The CD came with 1.05 (?) patch on it. Hrms. I'll look for a more recent update.

Oh, and any reason I should be getting random CTD while playing? *grumble*
no problem luv. Me and
are friendly, i'll go chat up our technical guru and see what your problem could be. (though without system info it will be problematic, though it might be something obvious)
here's an example of what i posted about a problem i've got

Few tips on finding whether problems are being caused by the video or the sound:
1. Be sure you are not running any other application. Terminate all programs through CTRL-ALT-DEL, leaving only Systray and Explorer.
2. Be sure that nothing is set to "always on top", even the taskbar.
3. Try running Homeworld using all the available renderers. If the problem persists even in software rendering mode, chances are, it's not video related. However if in SW the game runs without hitches, it's the video drivers.
4. Disable your sound card through the Windows Device Manager and run the game. If you still get crashes, it's not because of the sound card. If you don't, you probably need to find new sound drivers or lower the number of audio channels in the game.
The above steps are just in order to better isolate the problem.
your system information can be gotten by running (using win98SE+ ?)

EDIT* Hiigy: you know that's really rude of anyone to ask him that...what makes you think he'd want to be offended by a friend? (i'd have deleted this post and private messaged you that asking this question invites more people to think that uberjumper knows anything and would do something moronic like asking him, but i realized you might want to "renovate" this post)
your original post is cut to size 1...just edit this any way you want, bro
You could even remove my entire *EDIT* and have it like it was...and i wouldn't do anything nasty either. (course i'd not forget how rude you were to ask me that question :p )
*muffy spank*
[Hiig] I'll leave it as it is... i guess i didnt make it sound like i was being sarcastic (i was). It was a joke. Oh well. Move along.
[Muffy] Good thing too. If Adun found out about that I'd never hear the freakin end of it. lol

I applied my oldtech brain to the problem (I already use and know yer suggestions, I'm not THAT n00b) and went with the most basic: I popped off my case. It's a heat problem (no more ctds) and my crappy P3 just doesn't have enough cooling. *grrrf*
I looked at my case closer today, and realized that, unlike my old P166, this case doesn't have a case fan!!! *boggle* Just the cpu and power fans. *sigh* Time to install the one from the old comp, I suppose. AND...
I'm gonna head over to pricewatch instead and hook myself up with some better parts. I gots my paycheck recently, and I've been eyeing an Athlon 1800... :D 8)
Incidentally, I just reached the last mission (haven't started yet). I did mission 14 the evil way :P and now I'm ready to beat the game. Lost a couple multibeam frigates on the way (down to 13) but I'm up to 4 cruisers, 12 destroyers, 3 missile destroyers, and 70 cloaked fighters ;) plus ancilliary ships. I'm pretty happy. :)
Oh, and I took your advice and tried out the minelayers. Gots a full wing of 12 of em. They're pretty nifty. :) Do they regenerate their mines? Or refit them only when they dock? Also, are cloaked fighters like attack bombers, only a little better (and a lot slower to build)? Statistically, they seem equal or better, but I've heard a lot of comments against them. What's the deal?
Anyways, thanks for your continuing commentary. *HUG* :)

*huggles* yer welcome.
minelayers just slay. you can have as many mines as you can pump out...the reason most people hate them is they suck against fighters/corvettes. (but that's just basic rock/paper/scissor semantics)
as for MP action? hmmm...relies on surprise really, since they don't show up on radar you can lose collectors to them if someone's forced attacked dust clouds.
Best defense against minefields is a keen eye (so you can avoid them or force attack them)
Ship name ROF Damage per Volley Volley Mass Bullet Speed DPS Official
Bomber 22.2 115.000 1 4000 m/s 42.55 42
Cloaked 17 139.7 0 4000 m/s 39.9 39
Max.V (m/s) Yaw rate Mass (tons) Armour Strategic Value
Bomber 750 2.8 10 110 Very High
Cloaked 775 2.2 10 150 Low
you'll note the ingame "firepower" stat is actually DamagePerSecond. (DPS) The build time and expense of cloaked fighters is prohibitively large for multiplayer.
*Muffy shudders with ecstasy over the times he has been able to build 75 cloakers*
mmmmmmm...speaking about multiplayer, there's some training videos of mine that are pretty darned detailed (with synched checklist too). unfortunately, my freaking host site
decided to crap out today.

Now I see why cloaked ships are definately a luxury, esp. in MP.
I just beat the game. Mission 16 was definately interesting, even going in with 5 Cruisers and 14(+?) Destroyer-class ships (I had a fleet of over 20 salvettes working overtime starting around mission 8).
That last mission, Hiigara, is odd though. If you kick its butt, you don't get to see the Defector Captain (Elison?) and his reinforcements. But if you're doing poorly (enemy ships break through) then both he, and a buttload of enemy ships, warp in and proceed to annihilate your mothership. Seems like either your game is effortless or pained.
I beat it first by using an overwhelming show of force and sneakery (amazing how fast those assault waves fold when every destroyer/cruiser is salvaged en-route) and missed the captain completely - then I said damnit, I want the captain, and let some ships get through, and promptly got my MS destroyed. :o Only had 2 support frigates leeching the pain away. So I said I WILL BEAT THE GAME WITH ELISON!!! and proceeded to beef up my home defense fleet, scrap some frigates so I could pop out 4 more support frigates, and I was fine. :)
Quite a fun game. The ending was beautiful... and the music definately rocks. Especially the theme music - I first heard Samuel Barber's 'Adagio for Strings' done as a choral work while watching a Homeworld Demo one time, and I loved it... but couldn't tell who had done it. Then I stumbled across it purely by chance in the library, and eventually bought my own copy. Let me tell you, the original (it's 8 minutes long) is VERY worth listening to if you liked the edit that Homeworld uses. If y'all don't already know it (and want it) it's available on a CD called Agnus Dei. Not a bad classical CD. :)
Now I understand why so many HW fans came to Jumpgate... and why they're not happy. Fortunately, Eve seems to have the capacity (to a better degree than JG, anyways) to satisfy the urge. We'll see. :)
I've rambled enough. Laters, and thanks for helping make my HW experience more enjoyable... all of you. *hug*

Dr. Grumpy: "Okay, do you have a pharmacy number there?"

Newtown dominates New Milford
NEWTOWN -- After an emotional victory last week, there was absolutely no letdown for the Newtown High football team Friday night.
Andrew Tarantino threw four touchdown passes and Cooper Gold ran for two TDs all before halftime as Newtown rolled to a 56-13 victory over New Milford in a South-West Conference matchup.
The Nighthawks improve to 5-0 with the win while the Green Wave, unable to build off their win last week against Weston, fall to 1-4.
It was a strong performance by the Nighthawks, who were pushed to the limit by Barlow last week before prevailing 49-36. Instead of coming out flat against a one-win team or looking ahead to a matchup with Wolcott in the NVL-SWC challenge next week, Newtown took care of business as Tarantino was on target and the defense came up with three first-half interceptions and gave up little outside of one early scoring drive.
"How we would respond after a tough game was in the back of my mind and we came out and played our best half of football," said Newtown coach Steve George. "I have a lot of trust in this group of seniors, they have been with me for a long time and tonight they came out and played a great game."

New Milford got a 21-yard TD pass from Nick Kimball to Scott Eherts to pull within 14-6 with just under five minutes left in the first quarter. The Green Wave put together a a good drive, finished it off with a score and seemed like they were settling in.
That feeling lasted only seconds.
Ethan Carpenter returned the ensuing kickoff 90 yards for a touchdown to make it 21-6 with 4:48 left in the first. Newtown's Jaret Devellis came up with an interception to end New Milford's next drive and his 38-yard return down to the four set up a two-yard TD run by Gold.
That was the last score of the first for Newtown and it was more of the same in the second.
Tarantino threw his third touchdown pass of the game to Julian Dunn, this one on a scramble to keep the play alive, to make it 35-6. Gold plunged in from a yard out, Tarantino hit Otto Kerler with a 17-yard scoring strike and Tim Krapf started a drive with an interception and finished it with a two-yard run to make it 56-6 at the half.
"We just weren't ready to play against a really good football team and I'll take responsibility for that," New Milford coach John Murphy said. "We made mistakes you can't make against a team like Newtown. That's a good football team, well coached, explosive and we didn't make any plays."
Tarantino opened the scoring with a 45-yard touchdown pass to Dunn and the duo hooked up again later in the quarter for a 13-yard score to make it 14-0.
"Andrew Tarantino to Julian Dunn was a lethal combination for us tonight," George said. "We were able to execute on offense and our defense made some plays in the first half."
For New Milford it was the last of three straight games on the road and while they were thoroughly outclassed in this one, it does have the win over Weston to build on ahead of a home game with Watertown next Friday night.
"We'll see how we respond when we get to practice this week," Murphy said. "We have to work to get better and get ready for Watertown."
