Continuing my Video AAR of the Blackburn's Ford scenario for Brother Against Brother. In this episode we see my firing lines of the brigade form up (in stages) and finally get a few volleys off across the Ford and start to do some damage.
There have been some very helpful comments by the devs (Gil Renburg and Eric Babe) along with other members of the Matrix Forums, and having immediate feedback to work with on the next stage of this AAR is something I'm enjoying very much.
If you missed Part 1, check it out here
On with the action…
There are some real nuggets of information in the Brother Against Brother forums over at Matrix Games. So I'll leave you with a few comments from the developers, that I found incredibly helpful…
One such explanation deals with the size/strength of the unit and the consequences of engaging with 350+ men in a 75 yard hex.
Regiments in their 75 yard hexes fight most efficiently when they are at a strength of 350 (I'm going from memory here…) or less; any strength in the regiment higher than this contributes to attacks at significant penalty (-50%, again going from memory).
We got most of our figures like this from sources like the 1862 Officer's pocket manual, Hardees Infantry Tactics, or the 1863 Union Infantry Tactics, but I can't remember where exactly this figure comes from offhand. If I remember right, the period estimate was a frontage of 100 yards for 400 men. Since regiments typically held 1-2 companies in reserve, and considering that some of the strength represents staff positions like wagoners, surgeons, and musicians, an effective frontage of 350 over 75 yards seems like a pretty good estimate based on the historical number.
So in the game, if you've got the room available, it's definitely a good idea to split your big regiments into two sections once they arrive at the fight. Two sections of 300 men fight much more efficiently than one regiment of 600. Also note in the rules that it's easier to damage regiments that are bigger than 350 strength; I think there is a 5% casualty bonus for attacking big regiments.
Gil Renburg (on Artillery)
"Well, you should study the terrain, especially the heights and vegetation. Even if the hex you plan to move to is open, if it has "tall grass" or one of the woods hexes between it and the enemy then line-of-sight will be blocked. Remaining on a height will usually be better in part for that reason, since from a hill one can fire over must LOS-blocking vegetation. HOWEVER, even from a hill one can't fire over lots of trees, on the assumption that some trees would be tall enough to block LOS as well. So "forest" will neutralize the hilltop advantage somewhat.
In your [first] video you did make a mistake moving that battery one hex too far, since not only did you lose LOS, but the other advantage to heights is that they let artillery fire a bit farther — so by staying up on the hill you might have been one hex farther from the enemy, but that would not have meant that you would be much less effective at targeting the enemy.
The scenario/map are deliberately designed so that artillery cannot be brought close in for an attack, since historically they were firing from far away. So the frustration you and others might feel at being able to get the artillery only so far and to do just a little damage is quite realistic — the fighting at Blackburn's Ford did not involve artillery set up in a position from which the enemy could be mowed down in open terrain. "
Eric Babe (on Victory Hexes)
"One small note: victory hexes modify the morale breaking point during a game. If you hold a majority of victory hexes, then you get a small bonus to your army's morale collapse value."

To me, one of the most exciting things about being in a committed relationship with someone is getting to know everything about each other. This is a person who you can relax and be your true self around. They will see the good, the bad, and the ugly, and will (ideally) accept you for all of it. For instance, my wife knows that I can get kind of cranky if I haven't eaten an actual, filling meal all day. She calls it my "hangry" mood - a combo of hungry and angry.
Naturally, along with all of your behaviors during waking hours, your significant other is also going to become intimately familiar with any little quirks you may have when sleeping. One couple recently went hugely viral online when the wife shared her husband's hilarious sleeping habit with the world.
Meet Lindsay Stamhuis and Aidan Hailes. They've been married for a while and Lindsay has had plenty of time to get familiar with one of Aidan's funnier quirks - he talks in his sleep.
The couple started dating back in 2003 and Aidan says that he never tried to hide his sleep talking since it was something he's been doing his whole life.
Two years ago, Lindsay decided to text her husband with the hilarious things that he says while asleep. Here are some of the gems from those exchanges, as shared on Aidan's Imgur account.
Glad that worked out so nicely.
Stay away from Napoleon, he's a troublemaker.
When it's time, it's time.
Uhhh … What?
The best laid plans of mice and men ... are apparently about cats.
Hope it turned out ok.
Dang it feels good to be a Belgian.
He just needed some directions.
Apparently, Lindsay made a great point in his dreams.
Suuuuure it is.
What, like you didn't name you crock pot too?
I never want to meet the bug that's big enough to eat cheese.
Apparently, holiday stress has led to a silent period, but Lindsay is hopeful that when her hubby returns to work, the hilarity will resume. She doesn't mind the sleep talking in the least because it keeps her entertained. As for Aidan, he's just glad he can make his wife laugh, even if it is in his sleep.
Naturally, the post has inspired a lot of people to comment with some of their own hilarious examples of sleep talking.
In just two weeks since being posted, the page has been viewed over 300,000 times and counting!
If you've got your own examples of funny sleep talking, please share them with us in the comments below!

Open Thread: It Happened to You
This is your place to talk about the funny, sad, outrageous things that are happening in your life -- whenever you're ready.
I want to preface this by telling you, (just like everyone with a story like this will tell you, I'm sure) that I'm not crazy. I'm not lying, either. (Who would lie on the Internet?)
So, here we go.
I was 19 and my best friend, Michael, and I were coming back from taking sacrilegious pictures at a local Confederate cemetery (as one does as a goth teenager growing up in rural East Texas) when my friend uttered those fateful words:
"Did you see that naked guy step out of the woods?"
I blinked at him.
It was three in the morning and we were in an area known by locals as The River Bottom, where the land is low on either side of the Sabine River, and as anyone who lives near it can tell you, there are very, very few people who live there.
Like, maybe one or two per square mile.
The thought of anyone being out in the woods at so late an hour—naked or not—concerned me, so I said, "Wait, what? Turn around. Let's go see."
I don't know what we would have done had it actually been a huge, naked redneck (which was, I guess, what we were expecting) but curiosity got the best of us.
We drove quietly back and at first I thought it was just a rogue pine tree, smaller and younger and closer to the road than the others.
But on the OTHER side of the pine tree we both saw it.
It was eight feet tall and squinted against the light of our brights. Its shoulders were as broad as the car was wide and its hair—which covered all of it—was a sort of auburn color. And what struck me most was that it had this long beard thing—like a ZZ Top style beard.
I swear to God. Polygraph me.
"DRIVE, DRIVE, DRIVE!!!!" I shouted, and Michael and I squealed away, leaving it blinking in confusion by the side of the road.
About this time, my mother called and asked where we were, to which I so eloquently replied, "WE JUST SAW A FUCKING BIGFOOT!!!"
My mother is probably the best mother in the entire world. She made sure we were safe, then, when she had the details, immediately went to the Bigfoot Field Researchers Organization's website, BFRO.net, typed up a description of our encounter, and hit SEND.
BFRO responded almost immediately, and in two days, two BFRO investigators were sitting at my kitchen table, eating spaghetti while Michael and I went over the details of our encounter. (It was also during this time that I did all other pretentious grammarians a favor and asked what the plural of "Bigfoot" was. Bigfoots? Bigfeet? No. It's "Squatches.")
They asked if we had ever heard any odd noises coming from the back pasture of our land, which borders the area in which Michael and I had had our encounter.
"Noises like this?" one of the BFRO guys said. Then, right there in our tiny kitchen, he threw back his head and made a sound that can only be described through onomatopoeia as: Wooo-OOP! …Wooo-OOP!
My mother said, "Yes! I've heard exactly that sound before!"
The BFRO investigators exchanged looks and said, with the gravity of someone delivering bad news in a hospital waiting room: "Ma'am…it sounds like you've got squatches."
Later, I took them to explore my family's back pasture.
"Looks like we've got a partial print," one of them said, looking down through mirrored aviators at a vague indentation in the grass.
I wasn't particularly impressed. It looked like two cows had stepped in the mud in almost the same place and had made a sort of oblong footprint, but I decided to leave it to the professionals.
They took pictures of it, then we continued into the wooded area that borders our land. Here, the investigators drew my attention to several young trees which had been pulled downward into "arches," for lack of a better description.
"Those are everywhere around here," I said. And they were. I'd played under such arches as a kid, and when one looked into the woods around our pasture, they were not uncommon at all.
"Well, what do you think would cause one tree—out of all these trees right here—to twist itself downward like that?"
I didn't have an answer.
But the BFRO guys did: squatches.
"Yep," they said. "It looks like you probably got about six or seven of 'em out here."
I was skeptical.
And don't get me wrong. I had seen the thing. I'm a believer, whether I want to be or not. But the idea that six more of them were living quiet, unobtrusive lives behind my house was…a lot to take in.
"What do we do now?" I asked them.
"Tonight," they said. "We come back out here and do some calls, and we see if we get any responses. All right?"
And, in what was terrible judgment on my part, I said, "All right."
At midnight, the investigators came to my house to pick up Michael, myself, and two other friends who had come along for the adventure.
"All right," BFRO Guy One said. "We're going to split into two groups. You two (my other friends) go with (BFRO Guy Two) and you two (Michael and me) come with me. We're going to have walkie talkies, and though we won't be using any flashlights, it'll be all right. We've done this plenty of times."
So, to sum this up, we were going to be walking around in the darkest, farthest pasture with no flashlights and in the company of two strange men we'd met only that day as they made weird noises into the woods. It must have sounded legit at the time, so we said, "Sure!" and off we went.
I'd like to take this moment to remind everyone that, for some reason, our mothers were also OK with this.
We wandered out into the back pasture and split into the two afore-mentioned groups. We walked along the edge of the pasture, where it borders the forest, our group moving clockwise from the Southwest, and the other group moving counter-clockwise from the Southeast, with the plan to meet up at the Northwest corner. At first, nothing happened.
Then our investigator said, "I'm gonna do a call."
"Wooo-OOOP! Wooo-OOOP!"
Nothing happened. Across the pasture, we could hear the investigator with the other group begin to make his own calls into the forest.
We kept moving, and in a short time, our investigator did it again.
Once more, nothing answered.
Then he raised the walkie talkie to his mouth and said, "I'm gonna do a scream howl."
"Roger," said the other guy.
Then he reared back and let loose with this loud, ridiculous sound that I can't even begin to describe. (But that is fortunately on the Internet, along with more Bigfoot sounds.
And in the forest, something HUGE answered!
It made this extremely loud, terrifying roaring/howling sound, and almost immediately a bunch of coyotes started yipping and howling and going nuts. ("Coyotes travel with squatches to eat their leftovers," said our guy, standing proudly with his hands on his hips in the moonlight.)
It was then that we heard something begin to walk beside us in the thick woods, on the other side of the fence. When we walked, it walked. When we stopped, it stopped.
"We got one tailing us," our investigator said into the walkie talkie.
"Us too," came the crackling response.
It followed us all the way to the Northwest corner, as did the squatch following the other group. When we met, we began to hear strange clicking noises.
"They're signaling to each other," said our guy. "They don't know what to think about us."
"Are they going to…do something?" one of my friends asked.
"Nah," said the other investigator.
He did another whoop and the clicking stopped all together.
We walked back up to the nearest pasture, in which the investigators had made their campsite. The investigators (and I've been told that this isn't normal BFRO behavior, just so we're clear) began to drink a bunch of beer, eat a bunch of crawfish and play music.
"Squatches love music," said one of the investigators. "They're probably really enjoying this right now."
Then I had an idea. I reached into Michael's expansive CD case and flipped through until I found what I was looking for. I put in a plain, pink CD and clicked it over to number four: "Opera #2" by Russian pop sensation, Vitas, who hits an alarmingly high note which sounds a lot like a squatch whoop, only quite a bit more operatic.
I played the song on full volume. And when it got to the first crescendo, a squatch whooped!
Just once, though. After that, we all called it a night.
We started to go back home, but the investigators were like, "We like you guys! Stay out here with us!"
"OK," we said, really batting a thousand on good judgment.
Michael and I pulled up his Jeep, and tried our best to find good sleeping positions. We woke the next morning freezing and with a variety of muscle cramps.
When we awoke, we drove back to my family's house. My mother listened as we told her the results of the night's expedition. As we talked, we realized not only how awful it all could have ended up, but also that we probably could have died like 30 times during the previous evening.
The BFRO investigators left later that morning, telling us to call them back if we ever needed them again. We never called them back, but now, every time we think about heading into the back pasture, we stop at the fence and think to ourselves,"Nah…better not."

Top: Merona, same top/different style here. Lace bra: It's actually a one piece, here. Necklace: gift. Jeans: Amythest. Leather backless booties: Liliana, she has a newer style with fringe for Fall2015, here. Watch: Akribos XXIV, here.
One of my favorite ways to add a little sexy to an otherwise masculine look is to add a bit of lace. Not too much, but definitely enough to make a statement and not go unnoticed. Especially when it's layered under a cozy flannel shirt like this, hands down my new favorite comfort shirt. The backless booties are my favorite pair of rugged winter shoes because they are super strong and durable, yet allow me to still wear my fuzzy winter socks under them. I fell in love with the laced-up detail on the top (sorry I didn't include a better picture) and the thick rubber soles, allowing me to still chase after my little ones if need be without me slipping and falling on my biscuits.
Oh, and if you're going to send any comments or criticism about my chipped nails, read this first.
Hope everyone is enjoying their day, and if not, cheer up! It's Pumpkin Spice season again!

What happened to Macaulay Culkin?
Macaulay Culkin captured hearts of millions as the cute kid in Home Alone, but the 31-year-old actor is now striking fear into the hearts of his fans with his startling weight loss. In images obtained by Entertainment Tonight, Culkin was snapped looking pale and gaunt in New York City when he stopped to sign autographs for fans, while drinking the energy drink Red Bull. Sporting sunken cheeks, scraggly hair, pale skin and glazed eyes, he was barely recognizable as the cherubic kid who had fought off bungling burglars in the 1992 comedy classic. But what happened to him? Main reason – life, difficult life. His parents divorced and divided their property, both sisters died (Dakota - in a car accident, Jennifer Adamson - of a drug overdose), his marriage with Rachel Miner and romance with Mila Kunis were unsuccessful. So all these events broke him.
Snap - take a snapshot of
Pale - having less color than usual, typically as a result of shock, fear, or ill health Gaunt - lean and haggard, especially because of suffering, hunger, or age Sunken - (of a person's eyes or cheeks) deeply recessed, especially as a result of illness, hunger, or stress Glazed - lose brightness and animation
Barely - only just; almost not
Cherubic - having the innocence or plump prettiness of a young child Fight off - defend oneself against an attack by someone or something Bungling - carry out (a task) clumsily or incompetently
Burglars - a person who commits burglary

I have been taking ortho tri-sprintec for 4 months now and I have never noticed my usual cramping during ovulation. The past couple weeks I haven't been taking my pill at the same time, and I missed taking it in 24 hours span. The other night I definitely had my old cramping pains that I got during ovulation and I checked an online ovulation calendar and it was saying i should ovulate the same day that I felt the pains. Ive had plenty of sex this past week and my husband and I don't use condoms. Should I be worried about being pregnant?
Do you still ovulate while on the pill?

(AP) -- Kansas vs. Missouri was one of the biggest games of the season last year. The Tigers clinched their first Big 12 North title and spent the next week at No. 1.
Most of a sellout neutral-site crowd in Kansas City, an even mix from both schools, was on its feet the entire game. Missouri coach Gary Pinkel remembers the setting as a "perfect storm," No. 2 Kansas entering at 11-0, No. 4 Missouri toting a 10-1 record with a Heisman Trophy candidate who strengthened his bid with an impeccable start in a 36-28 victory.
"I don't think there's ever going to a game like that ever again, with the implications that it had," quarterback Chase Daniel said.
"Everything fit," Pinkel said. "Will it ever happen again? I don't know."
On Saturday, the 12th-ranked Tigers and Jayhawks meet again at Arrowhead Stadium although under decidedly less dramatic circumstances. Missouri (9-2, 5-2 Big 12) clinched its second straight North title two weeks ago and Kansas (6-5, 3-4), sagging with four losses in its last five games, represents a mere tuneup opportunity before the Big 12 championship game next weekend in Kansas City.
The beauty of this game is it's still huge for the two state's fans, even if either or both seasons have been a dud.
"It's a great rival game, two teams that hate each other, so we definitely want to go out and play our best game," wide receiver Jeremy Maclin said. "That's one team I can honestly say I don't like."
It's important enough for Kansas that former coach Don Fambrough delivers an annual pre-game speech.
"It's fun and the players enjoy listening to him," coach Mark Mangino said. "He gets really excited about this game and he's earned the right to say what he wants to say about it."
The likely emphasis at Kansas is the Jayhawks' chance to solidify their bowl standing and keep the Tigers from reaching double digits in victories for a second straight year.
"It's been kind of a rough season," Kansas linebacker Joe Mortenson said. "But we have great chance to get a big win against Mizzou and get things moving in the right direction. We're looking forward to going out there again on national TV showcasing our skills."
Missouri will likely focus on how the school can't afford to lose momentum. Players are likely to be reminded of last year's bowl snub, too, when Kansas landed in the Orange Bowl and Missouri fell to the Cotton Bowl after losing to Oklahoma in the Big 12 championship game.
"It's always hard feelings when these two teams are on the field," Maclin said. "That's one team I can honestly say I don't like."
Missouri appears to have recovered from consecutive midseason losses to Oklahoma State and Texas that knocked the school out of national title contention and out of the Top 10. The Tigers are coming off a 52-20 blowout at Iowa State and have won four in a row, struggling only in a 3-point win at Baylor during that stretch.
Like Kansas, Missouri had last weekend off. Pinkel livened up practice last Thursday by presenting players with the Big 12 North trophy, a ceremony designed to let them relish the achievement before getting back to business.
"I think our players really felt good about it, putting it in the trophy case," Pinkel said. "I wanted to make a big deal to them, but I wanted to get it over with and move on. There's a lot of stuff left."
No matter what happens on Saturday and or who emerges from the power Big 12 South threesome of Texas, Oklahoma and Oklahoma State, Missouri will be an underdog in the conference championship game. That's for next week.
Pinkel said he didn't have an opinion on who he'd like to play, and added with a straight face, "I don't even know if we're playing in it. Well, I don't know that."
Daniel said the three-way race in the South was "a very unique situation," but of absolutely no concern for Missouri players.
"We don't even care," he said. "We're so worried about the KU game. If we get caught up in that, our whole season will be a failure."

List entry Description
Summary of Monument
Legacy Record - This information may be included in the List Entry Details.
Reasons for Designation
Large multivallate hillforts are defined as fortified enclosures of between 5ha and 85ha in area, located on hills and defined by two or more lines of concentric earthworks set at intervals of up to 15m. They date to the Iron Age period, most having been constructed and used between the sixth century BC and the mid-first century AD. They are generally regarded as centres of permanent occupation, defended in response to increasing warfare, a reflection of the power struggle between competing elites. Earthworks usually consist of a rampart and ditch, although some only have ramparts. Access to the interior is generally provided by two entrances although examples with one and more than two have been noted. These may comprise a single gap in the rampart, inturned or offset ramparts, oblique approaches, guardrooms or outworks. Internal features generally include evidence for intensive occupation, often in the form of oval or circular houses. These display variations in size and are often clustered, for example, along streets. Four- and six-post structures, interpreted as raised granaries, also occur widely while a few sites appear to contain evidence for temples. Other features associated with settlement include platforms, paved areas, pits, gullies, fence lines, hearths and ovens. Additional evidence, in the form of artefacts, suggests that industrial activity such as bronze- and iron-working as well as pottery manufacture occurred on many sites. Large multivallate hillforts are rare with around 50 examples recorded nationally. These occur mostly in two concentrations, in Wessex and the Welsh Marches, although scattered examples occur elsewhere. They are rare and important for understanding the nature of social organisation within the Iron Age period. Despite past cultivation, the large multivallate hillfort 205m east of Luce's Farm survives comparatively well and will contain archaeological and environmental evidence relating to its construction, development, longevity, trade, agricultural practices, social organisation, territorial significance, domestic arrangements and overall landscape context.
Legacy Record - This information may be included in the List Entry Details.
The monument includes a large multivallate hillfort, situated on the summit of a prominent spur called Camp Hill, which forms the watershed between the valleys of two streams which drain into the Rockhampton Rhine. The hillfort survives as double rampart banks with closely-set concentric ditches which are clearly visible as pronounced earthworks to the north, east and south. It is less clearly defined to the west where lines of lynchets apparently complete the circuit although these are arguably of agricultural origin. Enclosing an area of approximately 5.9ha, the inner rampart is the most pronounced, standing to a maximum height of 3.6m, whilst the outer one reaches a maximum of 3m high. The accompanying ditches of both ramparts are also partially infilled and appear as shallow depressions or berms in some places.

I have been a professional headlining Standup Comedian for 15 years! Working just about every comedy club in the business. Including well over 200 colleges in the past 5 years!
I have toured with, and opened for the best in the business including:
Dave Chappelle, Robert Shimmel, Dave Attell, Lewis Black, Bob Sagat, Bobcat Goldthwait, ZZ top, Frank Caliendo & Dane Cook
to name a few...
Also, I have performed for our TROOPS all over the world & I had my own show in fabulous Las Vegas for 2 years!
Here is what a recent member of the press had to say about my show:
"STEPHANO delivers the perfect mix of light hearted insanity and POP Culture impressionism… The humor that underlies his HIGHLY ENERGETIC stage performance is DELIGHTFULLY TWISTED and an absolute pleasure to watch. His "CHILD LIKE" disposition makes his "ADULT" themed subject matter palatable to ALL AUDIENCES. Combining Songs, impressions, and even origami he has such an EXTREMELY ORIGINAL approach to standup comedy you'll leave his show with two lingering thoughts: "That boy just isn't right" & "When is he coming back?"… -Kathleen Jerge, Buffalo Bee Newspaper
My one-of-a-kind GAME SHOW has been an AWESOME SUCCESS for YEARS at schools all across the country!!!
I CAN'T WAIT to perform it for your students!!!
Here's how it works!
The student plays an improvisational game or answers a diversity-related trivia question, WIN or LOSE the Student gets to spin the MONEY WHEEL which has money denominations from $5 to $50 on it.
The student can KEEP the CASH (which is handed over immediately) or trade it for one of the two prize boxes on stage…
One of the boxes has an AWESOME prize and one has a "ZONK" prize.
EVERY SHOW gives away up to $400 in
CASH and PRIZES!!
The show is hosted by MOI, STEPHANO, a master improvisational performer and professional standup comedian.
It's a very FRESH, FUN and CLEAN way to celebrate diversity with students!
It is EXTREMELY FUNNY and loaded with HIGH ENERGY!!
Your students will LOVE this - they get to have a great time AND have an opportunity to win MONEY.
· The Game Show runs (approx) 60-75 MIN until ALL PRIZES are given out
· The Game Show only needs a 14'x14' area (classrooms, common-areas, or theatre stages work GREAT!)
(note that using school-provided prizes will lower overall costs)
GAME SHOW (ALONE): $1300 (w/o lodging) $1200 (w/lodging)
STANDUP COMEDY SHOW (ALONE): $550 (w/o lodging) $450 (w/lodging)
GAME SHOW & Standup COMEDY SHOW COMBO: $1600 (w/o lodging) $1500 (w/lodging)
Feel free to contact me if you have any further questions. Thanks again for your time and I look forward to welcoming your school as a client.

Drafters of a new constitution have summoned leaders of Iraqi religious, ethnic and political blocs to an emergency national summit this week in an attempt to hash out the toughest, deadlocking issues in reshaping the country, U.S. and Iraqi officials said Tuesday.
U.S. officials in Washington said the gathering will take place Thursday and Friday, if enough leaders -- particularly members of Iraq's Sunni Arab minority -- agree.
Humam Hamoudi, chairman of the constitution-writing committee, has called for the forum, and U.S. officials said the aim is to bring in leaders from outside the committee, particularly Sunni Arabs. The U.S. officials spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the talks.
Sunni Arab delegates returned to the committee meetings Tuesday after a week-long boycott. But it remained clear that the major divisive issue was federalism, which Sunni participants charge would break up the country.
In ongoing insurgent violence, meanwhile, attackers hurled grenades and fired automatic weapons at a bus carrying workers near Baghdad's Abu Ghraib prison, killing 18 of the laborers, police said.
The U.S. military said Tuesday that four U.S. soldiers were killed Sunday night when their vehicle ran over a roadside bomb in the southwest of the city. Jim Driscoll, a spokesman for the Georgia National Guard, said the victims were assigned to the 48th Infantry Brigade, the Associated Press reported. He said they were the Georgia Guard unit's first combat casualties since World War II.
Separately, a video posted on the Internet showed an Algerian diplomat who was kidnapped last week. The diplomat, wearing a blindfold, and another Algerian seized with him had been subjected to "the judgment of God" and would be killed, said an accompanying statement, attributed to an insurgent group led by Abu Musab Zarqawi.
Progress toward an Aug. 15 deadline for completing a constitutional draft is seen as essential by the interim government and its U.S. backers to demonstrate that political reform has momentum over the relentless insurgency.
A credible draft is considered equally vital to convince the Sunni Arab minority that there has been progress in a country also racked by common crime and chronic shortages. Many insurgent fighters are recruited among disaffected Sunnis.
The draft is expected to be delivered to the National Assembly shortly after the Aug. 15 deadline. A national referendum on the constitution is set for October.
The attempt to draw new participants was intended to give additional impetus to the process, officials said. "There is a notion that they can get it done by August 15, so there is a big push to have big leaders involved so there is no posturing inside the constitutional committee to make life difficult," said a senior Iraqi official familiar with the talks.
Leaders of "all groups and political parties and the groups which are represented in the National Assembly" should participate in the constitutional summit this week, said Kamran Qaradaghi, spokesman for Iraqi President Jalal Talabani. Talabani would likely be among the participants, Qaradaghi said.
In Washington, a State Department official said Massoud Barzani, the Kurdistan regional president and political leader, who seldom leaves his northern stronghold, "is coming down from the mountains" for the meeting in Baghdad.
"It's the reality of any political system that political leaders need to be involved in deal-making, either directly or indirectly," said a senior State Department official, describing the meeting as a positive development. "This is bringing them into the process more directly."
Committee delegates on Tuesday established an 18-member subcommittee assigned to work out major unresolved issues, chiefly federalism, said Saad Jawad Qandeel, a Shiite Muslim committee member.
Kurds are pushing for federalism as the only acceptable system for their already autonomous north. Some in the Shiite majority also want the same rights for the heavily Shiite south. Sunnis, who governed until the 2003 U.S. invasion that ousted President Saddam Hussein, reject such a provision.
Sunni delegates said Tuesday that they flatly reject a southern Shiite federal region under any circumstance. They proposed putting off the federal question until some months after the constitution is approved, said Salih Mutlaq, a leading Sunni on the committee.
But Qandeel said that position was unacceptable to Shiites. He suggested that a federal system might become part of the constitution despite Sunni objections. Qandeel said consensus was not necessarily the same as unanimity.
Other undecided basic questions include the role of religious law in the constitution, the issue of women's rights and the official name of the country. Khudaier Kuzaie, a committee member, said Tuesday that the latest draft he had seen cited Islam as one main source of laws, rather than the only source -- a key point in determining the extent of religious influence over the government.
A Western diplomat on Friday said the latest draft had dropped a provision, objected to by some women's groups, that said decisions related to divorce, inheritance and other family matters would be governed by sharia, or Islamic law.
Diplomats and delegates have stressed that numerous drafts of the constitution are circulating, with the proposals changing daily.
Wright reported from Washington. Special correspondents Omar Fekeiki, Naseer Nouri and Khalid Saffar contributed to this report.

About NRVNA
NRVNA: The Nxt Xperience is a NetEnt developed video slot, and one which was launched in 2016. This slot machine game offers players the chance to play a retro style game, and one which is based on the heavens. The slot is pronounced as nirvana, and can see you win as much as 966,000 coins if you play your cards right. NRVNA is played over a total of 5 reels, upon which sit 30 adjustable paylines. Players can also adjust their coin denominations from 1p up to 50p in all, whilst selecting betting levels, which range from 1 to 10 coins per line. NRVNA will set players back between 1p per line, per spin, and £150 per spin in total.
Special features
There are plenty of high playing card, and stereotypical slot symbols on the reels of the NRVNA slot, but some are more useful than others. Wilds, and scatters, for instance. NRVNA's wild symbol appears as a pink star. When this icon does show up, it can substitute itself for all other icons, barring scatters. These symbols do not have any cash prizes to pay out of their own.
Scatter symbols take on the shape of an orange diamond. When these symbols appear, they can offer you free spins no matter where they fall on the reels.
Bonus features
Scatter symbols can see you pocket a total of 10 free spins if 3 land anywhere on the screen. Bag 4 scatters and you will win as much as 15 free games. A total of 30 free spins is available for any player who scores 30 free spins in total. During this free spins bonus round, a NRVNA wheel can offer you multipliers worth up to 10x, and additional free spins at a rate of 2 spins a pop.
The action in this slot is enjoyable, even if its theme leaves a little to be desired. NRVNA is mobile-friendly via the NetEnt Touch platform, and can be found in virtually all major casinos offering NetEnt software. This slot is at least worth a quick look, even if its theme isn't necessarily for you.

Another thing to watch out for when designing any Orange Dining Room Ideas. The table should be lit properly to exhibit food and dinner placings within their best light, but may well be extremely important to illuminate sideboards or walls, so consider using specially placed lamps that concentrate on the table. Materials can also be important. Dining furniture needs to look great, nevertheless it should be resilient. Children can simply damage your beautiful upholstery, and dark wine can stain fabrics irretrievably. So consider utilizing materials like wood or composites to make sure durability. Little touches can also result in the difference between a bland space plus a spectacular design. So think about curtains, flowers and ornaments, but don%u2019t go too much. Restraint is vital in selecting dining area decor also.

'UK's relationship with China is like Harry Potter and his first girlfriend Cho Chang:' Boris Johnson's gag unravels as fans point out she was BRITISH and they split up
- Chancellor says he wants to end 'outdated' and 'nervous' views of China
- Using a five-day trade trip to Beijing to drum up new investment in the UK
- China is at the forefront of nuclear, medical and web technology, he said
- 160million Chinese watch Downton Abbey - more than twice UK population
He might be the boy wizard of the Tory party but Boris Johnson's attempt to sell Britain's relationship with China mis-fired today with a Harry Potter analogy which lacked magic.
The London Mayor is in Beijing talking up how closer links with China, claiming it was like the wizard's first girlfriend 'Cho Chang - who is a Chinese overseas student at Hogwarts school'.
But the latest attempt to upstage Chancellor George Osborne - who is also in China this week - quickly unravelled, with fans of the JK Rowling series pointing out that Cho Chang was British, and their relationship fell apart soon after starting.
Confusion: Boris Johnson delighted students at Peking University in Beijing but his Harry Potter analogy soon unravelled
Mr Johnson has used every photo opportunity, interview and Q&A session to crack jokes and adopt tortuous analogies to describe his ambitions for Britain.
The tactic has proved successful in over-shadowing the visit of Mr Osborne who is also in Beijing this week drumming up trade with China.
a further blow to the Chancellor who announced plans to make it easier
for Chinese visitors to travel to Britain, Mr Johnson immediately
undermined the policy saying it was 'unclear' how it would work.
Highlighting Britain's close relationship with China, Mr Johnson drew on the literary works of JK Rowling.

Deal: The two men have pushed for a relaxation of the visa regime, as Britain seeks to reap the benefits of a boom in Chinese tourism
Speaking at a Q&A session at Peking University, he said: 'If you want one final proof of how fast the world is changing, the cultural interpenetration between Britain and China, let me ask you a question, brilliant students of Peking University.
'Who in English literature is the most famous student? Who is the most famous student in contemporary British writing, would you say? I will give you a clue - he sometimes has a wand... Harry Potter.'
He went on: 'Where does the train go from which Harry Potter has to catch to go to his school? King's Cross, absolutely right, which is where? London.
Love of literature: Harry Potter, played by Daniel Radcliffe, and Ch Chang played by Scottish actress Katie Leung in the film series
'Where does Harry Potter buy his uniform and his wand and stuff like that and his books? I think it's in Diagon Alley which is in London. Where is the location of the Ministry of Magic? London.
'And who according to JK Rowling, the author of the Harry Potter novels, was Harry Potter's first girlfriend? Who is the first person he kisses? That's right, Cho Chang - who is a Chinese overseas student at Hogwarts school.
'Ladies and gents I rest my case. I don't think I need to argue any further, that is the future of Britain and of London.'
However, it was quickly noted that Cho Chang was not described as a Chinese overseas student in the series of novels, and was played in the films by British-Asian actress Katie Leung with a Scottish accent.
Mr Johnson is also facing criticism for his failure to raise human rights abuses while holding meetings in China.
Defending his decision not to touch on the issue, he told BBC Radio 4: 'I don't walk into a meeting and say 'I say, you chaps, how's freedom doing?.
'I'm not saying there isn't a role for the British government to stand up for what is right in the world, or what the British government sees as being right, all I'm saying is it's not really my core function as Mayor of London to go around aggrandising myself in that way and presuming to take on all the pomp and panoply of Foreign Secretary and international relations and all the rest of it.'
But he also appeared to undermine Mr Osborne's flagship announcement today on visas.
A change to the rules will meant Chinese visitors would now be able to apply for a UK visa by filling out a form that would in the past have got them into 26 European countries under the Schengen agreement, but not the UK.
Tired: Mr Osborne could be forgiven for growing irritated by the London Mayor's attempts to upstage him in China
Trouble: Mr Johnson raised doubts about the government's visa announcement and said it was not his job to challenge the Chinese about their human rights record
But the Mayor of London said it was not clear whether Chinese visitors would still need to fill out the Schengen form and the UK form.
He told BBC Radio 4's World at One: 'We will have to see how this scheme actually works. The detail is a little bit unclear to us at the moment.
'I'm initially obviously very supportive and would hope that it will make sure that we are able to get large numbers of Chinese students, of tourists, people who are going to bring who are going to bring income to our city.
'It's not clear that it's a single form either because there seems to be two forms but at least they are moving, at least they are showing signs of progress and that's what I want to see as well.'
The row risked overshadowing Mr Osborne's attempts to build stronger ties with the Far East, including a warning that people in the UK must stop viewing China as nothing more than a 'sweatshop' producing clothes and electronics on the cheap.
The Chancellor said he wants to change attitude towards China to realise it is at the forefront of technology, medicine and engineering which could benefit Britain.
He wants Britain to become to first choice for China to base business interests in the West, highlighting how twice as many people in China watch Downton Abbey than live in the UK.

Mr Osborne is in China for a five-day trade mission to drum up business with Beijing.
He has refused to question China's controversial human rights record, instead emphasising the need to persuade Asian companies to set up shop in the UK.
He said it was important to show 'respect' for the fact that China is 'a deep and ancient civilisation that is tackling its own problems and going about it in the way it thinks is appropriate'.
Mr Osborne told BBC Radio 4's Today programme: ''I think there is a bit of a British attitude which treats China as a sweatshop on the Pearl River.
'One of the things I'm trying to do this week in China is to change British attitudes to China... this is a country that is right at the forefront of medicine and high-tech and computing and high-tech engineering and all of that.'
Mr Osborne, who appeared with London Mayor Boris Johnson at Peking University, said he wanted Chinese firms to see the UK as a place to base their Western activities.
He told the students: 'I don't want Britain to resent China's success, I want us to celebrate it. I don't want us to try to resist your economic progress, I want Britain to share in it.'

Diplomatic relations between Beijing and Westminster had been strained by David Cameron's meeting with the Dalai Lama, but Mr Osborne stressed that the Prime Minister was 'not planning to meet the Dalai Lama' again.
Efforts to repair the damage have included a relaxation of the visa regime, as Britain seeks to reap the benefits of a boom in Chinese tourism.
Mr Osborne told Radio 4: 'What we want to see is Chinese tourists, just as a generation ago we had a whole wave of Japanese tourists, the new phenomenon in the world is Chinese tourism. That's fantastic for the British hospitality and tourist industry.
'We also want to see Chinese investment in our energy, in our finance and the like.
Vision: Mr Johnson said London should become the destination of choice for Chinese firms
'We also want to see this increasingly prosperous Chinese nation buying engines from Rolls-Royce for their aeroplanes, British pharmaceuticals.
'One hundred and sixty million Chinese are watching Downton Abbey, which is more than double the number of people who live in the UK.
'So it is a two-way relationship, it's a hugely important relationship. I think we can take the next big step in that relationship which is about more than just trading with each other but actually working with each other to develop the technologies and the medicines and the financial architecture of tomorrow.'
Mr Osborne insisted there is no limit on the number of Chinese tourists and students who can come to Britain.
The Chancellor told students in Beijing his visit was about 'much more than a collection of business deals'.
He said he wanted to make it clear to the whole of China that there is no limit on trade with Britain or the number of Chinese people who can come to study or visit.
A real dialogue between the two nations, he said, is about learning, understanding and 'embracing the future together', as he announced a partnership between Peking University, where he spoke, and Manchester University to create a joint centre for genomic medicine.
While acknowledging that 'we should not be afraid of pointing out where we disagree', Mr Osborne said the West should not harbour 'outdated" and 'nervous' views.
He welcomed Chinese investment in critical infrastructure such as water and airports.
Boost: Mr Johnson hailed the number of universities in London, which enable Chinese students to meet people from around the world
Mr Osborne said: 'This partnership will - I hope - give even more of you the chance to come to Britain and study there.
'We already have 130,000 Chinese students like you studying in Britain. I want more of you to come. And more Chinese visitors too.
'Let me make this clear to you and to the whole of China. There is no limit to the number of Chinese who can study in Britain. No limit to the number of Chinese tourists who can visit.
No limit on the amount of business we can do together. For in the end what is a true dialogue?
'Not just a meeting between governments. Not just a conference of politicians.
'A real dialogue is where people get together, and talk, and learn, and understand and embrace the future together.'

Breaking News! It's OK to Hold On to That Grudge
For a long time, many so-called experts believed that forgiveness was a necessary step in the healing process of the victim. They believed forgiveness helped the individual to move on. But not anymore! Recently scientists have discovered "exciting" news when it comes to the question of whether or not you should forgive. And the answer is – Not necessarily! Previous studies have shown that forgiveness is for you, the wronged, and not so much the person who wronged you. We now know there are times when, despite what the bible says, we don't have to forgive if we don't want to.
"To forgive, one of the components is deciding if that person is going to hurt you again," explained one of the scientists. "That's why I never forgive anyone. Statistically speaking you'll get screwed again."
Here's an interesting fun fact: Anger is good! Anger can be a powerful motivator, especially for those who have been victimized. Anger is the friend who helps us rise above the victimization and fight our way back from the most devastating of traumas.
"That's why I take boxing lessons. It helps me let out my rage," explained a survivor of trauma. "Plus, I'm waiting for someone to cross me again. Revenge is a great motivator, too."
What's most important, say the experts, is each person coming to this point on his or her own. If they need to hate for a while, a haters gotta hate. After that, when the victim no longer needs the anger, forgiveness can often be viewed as a viable option.
"Forgiveness is a choice," said the janitor at the lab. "I didn't speak to my father for ten years, but he eventually admitted he was wrong. I knew all along he cheated at Monopoly, but I've chosen to forgive him."

Students at Holland ISD are taking a stand against bullying, and they have the video to prove it.
Directed and inspired by students at all grade levels, the video follows the story of two students who felt left out and alone before they moved to Holland. Then it transitions to a class welcoming and accepting them to the school, and before you know it, everyone is dancing to Taylor Swift's lead single "Shake It Off." [Watch the video.]
As a part of the Afterschool Centers on Education (ACE) Cycle 8 Grant provided by Education Service Center (ESC) Region 12, Holland ISD and seven other school districts entered a contest to create video for National Bullying Prevention Month in October, and Holland's entry received first place honors for its thoughtful and fun submission.
"Bullying is something we want to stand up to (or shake off) in Holland, but I also want our students to understand the importance of what it is to be respectful to everyone," said Megan Gersbach, ACE site coordinator Holland ISD. "Our motto on the leadership team is 'universal respect,' and we wanted this video to speak to parents, as well as the students."
Gersbach, who also filmed and edited the video, posted it to her Holland ISD ACE Facebook Page in mid-December. Fans of her page shared the video 78 times hitting a record 10,748 news feeds on Facebook. (via Facebook Insights) Comments on Facebook captured the social impact of the video:
- "WOW. I love this. The kids did a fantastic job!!! So proud of Holland for doing this."
- "Such a beautiful and emotional video!"
- "I love my little town and BIG things that happen here!! Awesome job HISD."
- "Now, this is a town open to the fight against bullying! Kudos to Holland, Texas ISD!"
To recognize the first place winner, staff from ESC Region 12 and Holland ISD will hold an assembly at 2:30 p.m., Wednesday, Jan. 14. Students will view the video, and ESC Region 12 staff will encourage their efforts to end bullying by surprising them with an ice cream party.
The unexpected viral reach of the video also highlights the influence of social media and its role in preventing or stopping the spread of bullying.
"It has reached almost more people than we have in our town," Gersbach said. "So it has opened up some conversations about how quickly things spread on social media and the impact that has on bullying too."

Organized by the Institute for Democracy and Mediation, the first "Western Balkans OGP Dialogue" in September is expected to draw hundreds of international participants for a two-day event focusing on effective initiatives to further open government in the region.
Partners for Change in Albania
The January 29 Institute for Democracy and Mediation conference in Tirana aims to mobilize policy stakeholders' efforts to move towards a comprehensive and realistic strategy for participatory development in remote areas and a partnership-oriented approach towards civil society and non-state actors in Albania.
Security Research Forum explores regional, bilateral issues
Relations between Albania and Serbia remain of key importance to the security and stability of the Balkans, but not even engagement in the process of European integration has been enough for Belgrade, Prishtina and Tirana to resolve their differences, according to panelists who appeared at the first Security Research Forum.
