In this two-part article, MMORPG.com's Derek "Cymdai" Czerkaski takes a look at the two versions of Planetside and compares and contrasts the two different designs. Read on for part one, and leave your comments below. Part two will come later this week.
Being a veteran of Planetside, I felt the need to compare its in-development sequel to the original, and see where they stack up. The following will be an overview highlighting various different developmental and conceptual philosophies, executions, and implementations of ideas for the game Planetside in its two different installments. I'm going to start off with a basic comparative chart, essentially a TLDR version for the quick readers, and then I'm going to expand on these points in more detail as the article goes along.
Read the rest of Derek's Planetside 2: A Veteran's Comparison - Part One.
Try to be excellent to everyone you meet. You never know what someone else has seen or endured.
Only the basic guns are implemented right now. Pretty sure medics and engineers do get shotguns, they are just currently locked.
Also, you complain about super soldiers and how everyone eventually took the same certs in PS1 but then bash PS2 class system because you cannot be a unique flower? Do you not see that you can't have it both ways.
Players will always take the best spec. Even if it is not fun, players will always pick the most OP abilities to win. By forcing players into roles, it makes having a balanced team that much more important and effective. Countless times while i have been in a squad and wished we had a heavy to take out a magrider or wished we had a light assault so we could take out a enemy beacon that is out of reach.
Finally, this game would be hell if everyone had a jetpack. It would turn into a slower, crappier Tribes. The jetpack has a very unique role (placing beacons where only jetpackers can get to them). If everyone has that ability, then you become even less of a "unique flower".
Well, I must say this article lacks a bit of information for newcomers: ok you seem to feel like the way things are done right now is not very good, but if it's just for iteration and they're far from release or OBT, I'd think working on the backbone of classes before giving players more freedom would be the right way to go, while trying the "no-holes-barred" approach to capture points then studying the results and working with the data is the way to go.
Then again, I don't know how far they are in the development process, but personally, I had heard that the game was in "very" early CBT (like for a month or so?) so that the game was playable but not ready. In that case, isn't it too early to raize the guns, or at least if you do, wouldn't it be wiser to put it in perspective and explicitly say that this is a sort of "public feedback". Maybe I just missed it.
Good article though. Interesting to see what PS2 is coming from, and how the formula is being changed.
In PS1 you could only be level 20 (in the beginning, I read they went nuts and allowed level 40, essentially giving everyone everything). If they had kept the original system and instead allowed more and deeper specializations, then the 20 levels would be spread thinner, forcing people to specialize more.
In PS1 you could not be a "super soldier". You were limited by your inventory. If you really did take AV, you would have very little inventory space for anything else, and your staying power in the field would be limited. Also, you would be fairly slow in the heavy suit, which gave you the most versatility.
Of course, you could change to a new configuration, but then you would have to get out of battle to a resupply pad. I don't see how that is any different from how PS2 works.
PS1 gave alot more versatility in character development, and if it had been elaborated upon (create more and specialized certs to force people specializing instead of being an ace-of-all-trades), it would have beaten the PS2 system by far.
I prefer the new specialization. While it may not be like PS1, that's why it's called PS2. If a player decides their side needs a medic at the moment then that's his decision. Now, he has to own it.
For the comment about jetpacks, I think it's important that units that can use that kind of ability should be limited somehow. It would take terrain out of the equation of all units could jetpack together.
I didn't like the class system at first, but it is sorta a necessary evil since the old inventory system was difficult to balance. I still prefer the inventory though. I can't decide what class I like in PS2, I really wish I could mix and match them more... But I guess I just want to do all the things at once. In PS1 I was advanced medic, engineer, sniper, and had a reinforced exo suit. Now only heavy assault gets the suit, medic gets revive, engineer gets its kits, and infiltrator gets sniper rifle. So my old build is spread across 4 different classes.
If I could alter PS2, I would add sniper options for light and heavy assult classes. I would make most of the bases more like PS1, reinforced with only one front door and one back door to create a more structured flow with more strategy and longevity. I would also put continent locks back in, because right now each continent feels more like separate servers.

I hated ps1
I LOVE ps2
So they did something right in my book
These two points do bother me about PS2 but the one that bothers me the most is the MAX units. They borked them up big time and honestly there is no reason to even include them into the game. They are no longer a dedicated class as they once were in PS1, they are basically a throw away armor suit that is situational. In PS2 they require resources so if you buy max only certs you are screwing yourself because of the cooldown. But the biggest change from PS1 to PS2 is there is no longer a fast travel mode for MAXes. This effectively ruins the class for anything but base defense and hot drops. Any other class can just jump into a tank or vechicle and get into a fight quick whereas the MAX has to slowboat it and get raped by said tanks and vehicles.
One thing I didn't touch on yet was MAXes, and that's because I want to give them a bit more time to touch on them. Considering my favorite aspect of the original Planetside was that of "MAX Crashing", and my favorite unit was the Dual-Cycler MAX for the TR, I would say they're incredibly underwhelming thus far.
However, there have been slews of patch changes, incorporating additional content. I'm going to wait and see if any adjustments are made in the next month, and depending on the action/inaction, I'll re-touch on that aspect of the game.
I do apologize for not being more "new player friendly", however, I wanted to leave some basic research up to the readers
Waiting for something fresh to arrive on the MMO scene...
This is the problem with reviewing a game while it is in Beta. They make changes, lots of them... and this can totally change the gameplay.
For example, they have recently changed how experience is given. They have recently changed the methods used to capture bases. They have recently changed the certifications available.
With these changes, a lot of what you said may not be true anymore. (I do conceded that there is still merit in the class vs classless discussion). It will be hard to properly evaluate this game as long as they are making big changes like this.
Not my kind of game
after the changes you need to grind like few days before you can unlock some basic scope for 1 weapon or a week for silencer for pistol
and thats playing minimum 5 hours a day

There was a timer in PS1 for MAX too, but I agree that MAX should be a certed class and get the faster run speed. We aren't going to see any more MAX crashes in PS2 I am sure...

As a PS1 Beta Veteran, I think you might be jumping the gun a little on this article.
I recall that in the PS1 Beta, there were many things they had eliminated and changed by the time it was released. Some for the better, some for the worse (in my opinion) But in the end, it turned out to be a great game.
From a gaming standpoint, I think PS2 is a much more exciting game. The action that comes from having literally thousands of people fighting on the same continent is amazing. The fact that at what i would consider a middle beta stage, this game is VERY playable. Everything works, bugs are few, performance is solid and improving.
I have had less crashes in PS2 than i did in the last couple months playing PS1 (just before PS2 Beta)
As to the Class System, I think you are a little confused on your arguments, in one sentence you say that you ccan't play the way you want, yet, all the classes are available from start. It took a long time to get up to a Heavy Assault with a Chain Gun in PS1, but you can do it rather quickly in PS2. The fact that you can switch to a Medic or Engineer or Heavy every time you walk up to a terminal is very nice when you find that your squad is lacking something.
The only place that i will agree wtih you is when it comes to the Higher Level "META" game of PS2. The game mechanics are simpler than PS1 for sure. One of the things that made PS1 so cool was that it wasn't just a zerg for territory system. There were tactics and procedures for all kinds of situations. Currently, that system is a little simplified. But i think that is only temporary.
The best part of PS2 by far is the people that are making this game truly care about it. They are die hard PS1 fans and are dedicated to making this the best game anyone ever played. With a stated Launch Date of January 1, 2013 i think they have plenty of time to work out the META game complexity to bring it up to our liking.
Bottom line here, PS2 is a seriously great game. If you have never played Planetside you are going to be amazed. If you have, there is so much about PS2 that is better than PS1 that you will find yourself having a great time, even if they don't make it just like PS1.
I see nothing wrong with being critical in the beta phase. The idea that the game play will change, that various game elements will change is true. But that does not mean any of the problems mentioned will even get looked at. Beta only means the game will be different at launch, not how it will be different.
The differences between PS and PS2 smack of easymode. Going from an skill unlock system to classes is a easymode decision. The gaming industry believes that if a player needs more than 2 minutes to understand his role in a game he will decided to move on, classes give instant role recognition. Instant gratification is the other key to easymode play, instead of having to work for your unlocks they all seem to be given to you at the start.
I am not so sure the change in how bases can be won is such an issue. I have seen both styles of play. Bases in sequence is more like DAOC, bases you can drop in from the back is more like Battlefield. I would not say one style of play was better than the other. I would suggest though that is another step on the easymode route. Sequential bases need more organisation, more leadership. Organisation and easymode do not go hand in hand, random taking of objectives does. On the balance I would say the old way was better, we have a ton of games where you can randomly cap bases, PS2 would seem fresh just by sticking to the old method.
You received 25 Agrees. You're posting some good content. Great!

Now Doesn't That Make You Feel All Warm And Fuzzy? :P
I know I'm going back on what I've said before but I'm had time to put in a full days gaming to really understand Planetside 2 as it can be quite complex and confusing due to the UI being such a mess when it comes to certs and what not.
I really like Resources, they restrict you from what you can get and keep you switching your vehicle choices up. Resources are tied down to defending and capturing hexes which is kool because it makes you want to fight for control instead of being a K/D whore.
I really like Auraxium (dumb name) being slow to get because it puts meaning on what you unlock and makes it feel more special. Also there needs to be a balance then on the price of things because if items are say 2.99 then the whole thing is pointless, they need to price weapons at like 5.99 and 10.99 so you're put off just buying everything right away.
I really like the hex system in theory but in reality it is pointless, the only thing you pay attention to is the bases and capturing those. The only good thing about it is it's easy to see what land you own but the games still makes it pretty hard to work out where your main forces are.
For me the biggest complaint is base design, it's just horrible. You'd think these advance people locked in war all the time wouldn't just make their bases open and easy to capture.
The other problems for me are really mechanics like running over team mates and killing them, it's just too easy to do and they need to reduce the damage done. I hate how you cannot fly your aircraft with just the keyboard like BF3. I hate the fog/bloom and the blur in the background. I don't like how the camera doesn't follow the aircraft in third person view and I hate how you cannot equip knives.
I find base capture to be really weird and confusing, you capture all the points, the base turns your colour and then for some reason the enemy is still spawning? I don't get that... people just camp the spawns and keep killing the enemy even though you own it?
I generally feel that bases could be 20% smaller, and it would be more feasible to navigate too.
Some of these bases arte just outrageously gigantic for a 5 minute capture-and-hold. You'll spend half of that time just walking between points.

Letters Of Note: bringing typography and soccer together by Aaron› 4 Oct 2013
The letters and numbers on the back of a soccer shirt might not immediately strike you as an area for passionate debate and insightful stories, but behind those pieces of fabric lies a whole world of design innovation and football folklore. A brilliant new book on the subject of typography and the beautiful game entitled Football Type lifts the lid on this particular world, bringing it to life with some fantastic graphics and unusual stories behind some of the most iconic examples seen on shirts through the ages.
There's a fair few Umbro shirts featured in the book, so we thought it was an ideal opportunity to chat to its creator Rick Banks about his love of letters - if you're interested in picking up a copy of the book or finding out more, head to the Football Type site. Here's what Rick had to say about its creation..
What was the inspiration behind the book, and what do you hope anyone picking it up will get out of it?
'The inspiration was simple — it was a combination of my two biggest
passions, football and typography. For designers, I hope it inspires. For
non-designers I think it's a great insight into the world of typography and the
book also tells of typographical tales of the beautiful game — like stories
behind why Johan Cruyff wore the legendary No 14 shirt or why Zamorano wore 1 8.'
is something that a lot of football fans might not notice, but it obviously means a
lot to you. When did you first start to notice the wording and the different
styles used on shirts?
I was eight years old, I begged my mum to buy me a Manchester United
shirt with Peter Schmeichel's surname on the back. Schmeichel
was my favourite footballer, and I was fascinated with the slab serif font in
which his name appeared, which I liked to doodle in my school sketchbook. My
mum gave in, kindly bought the shirt and brought it home. But when I opened it
I cried my eyes out. The Umbro logo was missing, and the font was all wrong. It
just wasn't the same. This is my earliest memory of my interest in typography.'
What difference do you think it can make to the design of a football shirt? Does a shirt need lettering to bring it to life, or should it stand on its own without the lettering?
'Obviously I'm biased but I think it makes a
massive difference. For me, the most successful shirts are when they have
considered and complimentary typography. For example Real Madrid's 2011 gold
optical font which was designed by Anthony Barnett at Sporting iD. The gold
optical lettering not only looked good but it matched the shirt's gold trim.
All good design has a story behind it — the font pays
homage to iconic players of the era like peerless Argentinian match-winner
Alfredo Di Stefano.'
Football authorities have a lot of rules around the way letters and numbers can
appear, do you think this has been a help or a hindrance to the way they have
'I know most type designers complain about
UEFA's and FIFA's rules but I quite like designing within restrictions and a brief.'
been plenty of different developments since numbers first appeared on
shirts, what do you think has been the most important step?
'Football lettering today is big business.
More clubs are commissioning bespoke, experimental lettering, and spending
millions building a strong visual identity that can be used on merchandise and
communications. I think the biggest development was when Real Madrid bought
Ronaldo in 2009. Madrid commissioned a typographer to draw a bespoke alphabet
in Latin, Chinese, Japanese and Arabic. Ronaldo has already sold more jerseys
than David Beckham in his four seasons at the club.'
know it's like choosing a favourite child, but do you have a favorite typography example (or examples)?
'My favourite lettering on a soccer shirt is
Umbro's last England shirt (I'm not just saying that!). Paul Barnes' duotone
lettering, which features in the book, is subtle, different and very striking. It
also compliments the shirt so well. Design wise, my favorite shirt, is the
Bolton Wanderers 2007 home shirt due to it's minimalism and simple sponsor.'
A lot of thought and research goes into shirt typography, do you think this is time well spent, or in the end does it not make a difference?
'I think football writer, Sheridan Bird sums it
up well in the book: "At the end of the day, names and numbers are for identifying
players,' is the understandable refrain of the average fan …. but their
creativity adds beauty to function and makes the journey aesthetically
pleasing. Footballers have to wear numbers, why not make them eye-catching, meaningful
and unique?"'
you think interesting designs tend to happen at the top level of the game, or
is there anything interesting happening in the lower divisions?
'Top design, whether its shirt or type design,
tends to happen at the highest level — where the money is. In England, football
teams have to abide by their league typeface when they are not playing in
Europe. At international level, it is really interesting to see the divide in
typography. In the book, there are examples of beautifully bespoke typefaces
from the 'top ranked' countries and there are also some truly bizarre examples,
including a stretched Wild West typeface used by Kazakh team FC Ordabassy. The
Faroe Islands use Times New Roman on the back of their shirts. Can you imagine
every shirt having Times New Roman on the back?'
there an end point in terms of innovations for lettering and numbers, or do you
think designers can continue to create new ideas?
'In the future, I think
teams may experiment with ideas like those used by Mexican club Los Jaguares
and Spanish team Sevilla: Sevilla's 2011 kit featured numbers made up of photos
of fans who had paid $1 for their face to appear, and Los Jaguares's includes
players' Twitter handles below their numbers. Design and innovation will never
stop, its exciting to think what next season will bring.'
Finally, if you could design a bespoke typeface for any team or player, past or present, who would it be, and what would it look like?
'I'd love to design a typeface for Bolton Wanderers but for that to happen we have to be in Europe again (as UEFA allow bespoke lettering). And I can't see that happening soon, so I'd love to create a strong corporate identity for a football club. Just like how Tottenham have done —they have a bespoke typeface featured in all over their communications as well as on the back of their European shirts.'
Thanks to Rick for taking the time to speak to us, and congratulations on a wonderful looking book - with all profits going to the Football Federation. Take a look here for more details.

High quality ingredients!
My review is based on the ingredients. As far as effectiveness, I have no way of telling. I like Vitamin Code RAW B Complex by Garden of Life because it comes in the natural food form which is suppose to be a better way to absorb supplements. It doesn't consist of all the chemicals other B complexes have. Because it's food based, the dosage is lower; however If B complex doses are high, the body eliminates it anyway.
High quality ingredients, food based.

I love it!
Okay so Vitamin Code by Garden of Life is AWESOMENESS in a glass jar! I was looking for a really good B Complex vitamin to keep my energy levels up and my metabolism going, because I recently found out I have an AVM that ruptured and bled into my brain! CRAZY! Well I'm taking lots of meds, laying around the house and feeling sluggish, tired and just miserable! My doctor gave me just a B-12 but after a while I've built up a tolerance to it and hey don't work!!! So I did my research on Vita Code and OMG I loved the fact that it has the B vitamin, and all raw organic ingredients!! So anyway gives me an everlasting amount of energy throughout the day even though I'm home not doing much of anything but trying to workout, which is great for that and boosts your metabolism! Says you can open and put in water(YUCK!!!!) or raw juice I highly recommend the juice! TRY THIS!!!! Oh yea makes your pee this bright yellow color! Hahaha.
Yucky in water, but what vitamin is?

Highest quality
I ordered Vitamin Code - RAW B Complex because my body has a hard time absorbing B vitamins & I need a supplement. I chose Vitamin Code - RAW B Complex because it is a raw food based vitamin. Your body recognizes it & it is easily absorbed. I have been taking this for 5+ yrs. All my vitamins are Vitamin Code/Garden of Life.

Hidden Dangers: Subtle Signs of Schools Failing by Dr. Betsy Gunzelman, I actually know the author she was one of professors in college. She has done amazing research in this field and I thought the book was great! Full of wonderfuly knowledge that all parents should be armed with as our little ones head off to school.

This is a sticky topic.

One book that was very helpful to me as a new parent, especially as my children started becoming more independent toddlers and preschoolers was "Becoming the Parent You Want to Be" by Laura Davis and Janis Keyser. It was recommened by a LLL Leader friend. I"m always surprised that it's not on AP lists and is not more well known. What I found most helpful about it was that it helps you as a parent to reflect not only on how you were raised, but how you want to raise your children & choose an approach to common challenges based on your own introspections. The suggestions given are gentle and appropriate, but nothing is presented as "one size fits all". It was the first parenting book I read that dealt with concretes (not theory, but mananging common struggles) in a way that respected my ability to THINK as a parent, not just apply some formula.
Another book that was very helpful for me is "Mother Nurture: A Mother's Guide to Health in Body, Mind, and Intimate Relationships" by Rick Hanson, Ph.D, Jan Hanson, L.Ac., and Ricki Pollycove, M.D. It's a self-care book for mothers, especially those who are engaging in parenting practices like long-term breastfeeding, tandem nursing, bedsharing; which, although wonderful from an attachment perspective can be draining to mom's body. Instead of taking a spiritiual approach to mom's wellness, which many books do, it approaches from a phsicial perspective. I've also heard Dr. (Mr.) Hanson speak several times and really appreciate his approach.

Just in time for Christmas (and the Iowa caucuses), the Annenberg Pubic Policy Center's Factcheck.org presents its "Whoppers of 2011," what they describe as "the year's worst political deceptions, from both sides." Here's their summary, as a teaser:
Despite what you may have heard in 2011:
- The new health care law won't cost many jobs (and they'll be poorly paying jobs at that).
- Republicans aren't proposing to "end" Medicare (and Democratic Sen. Ron Wyden has signed onto a modified version of the GOP plan).
- Most of the "millionaires" who would pay higher tax rates under a Democratic proposal aren't job-creating small-business owners.
- President Obama's mother didn't really fight to get health insurance coverage as she was dying.
And there was plenty more spin and deception in 2011. Obama claimed he pays a lower tax rate than a teacher. Michele Bachmann endorsed a claim that HPV vaccine causes mental retardation. Joe Biden claimed rapes quadrupled in Flint, Mich., after police layoffs. And that's just some of the nonsense we debunked.
For our full run-down of the worst political whoppers we encountered during the year, please read on to the Analysis section. And get ready for more in the presidential election year that is about to begin.
Definitely worth a peek, courtesy of the best nonpartisan fact-checking researchers in the biz.

Langley, BC to host inaugural U23 Pan American Men's Volleyball Cup
The U23 Pan American Cup is a new competition created jointly by the Norceca (
As Canada will not have a national team program with athletes in this age category together at this time of year, Volleyball Canada opted to ask a CIS program to host and participate in the event representing Canada, and the two-time defending CIS champions Trinity Western University Spartans were up to the task. Other possible teams they will compete against in the event include
"For our men's national team, this is a very important age group as it will help bridge the current gap between the level at which CIS athletes perform and the one needed to perform internationally," stated the Canadian Men's National Team Head Coach Glenn Hoag. "It complements very well the already existing Junior category (20 and under) and it is important to have the support of CIS institutions in order for us to field a team every year in these events.
"On behalf of the Township of Langley, we are extremely excited to be hosting yet another major international event at the Langley Events Centre," Township of Langley Mayor Jack Froese commented, "the facility was built to be a hub in our community and the U23 Pan American Men's Volleyball Cup will be a fantastic showcase for both the facility and our community. We hope the Township's strong contingent of volleyball participants at both the school and club levels attend and enjoy the weeklong event."
A confirmation on the participating countries and the schedule will be available in the coming weeks.

Dionne: Time to Restore the Balance Between Liberty and Communitarianism E.J. Dionne, Jr. Today, E. J. Dionne, Jr., senior fellow at the Brookings Institution and a columnist for the Washington Post, spoke at the Miller Center Forum on his new book, Our Divided Political Heart. In the Progressive tradition, the thesis of the book and of Dionne's remarks is that from the beginning, Americans have been torn between the core values of individualism and community. While we cherish liberty, individual opportunity and self-expression, we also uphold the values of community obligation and civic virtue. The ongoing efforts to balance and reconcile these values have shaped the character of the nation. Dionne argued that the Tea Party rose from sense of spiritual crisis and fears of decline, and it was a response to the perceived and real failures of George W. Bush, not only a reaction to Barack Obama's ascendance to the presidency. The Tea Party's solution was to reach back to the founders and the Constitution. Dionne acknowledged that is useful to go back to the founding to figure out who we are and those on progressive side need to engage with Tea Party about this. However, Dionne's criticized the Tea Party and conservatives in the Republican Party for jettisoning the nation's communitarian traditions in favor of individualism and thereby breaking from their own best traditions. Dionne made the case that America is a freer society when we take care of "freedom from want" and he argued for a return to the balance between individual and community values that characterized most of American history. Dionne argued that we are at a critical juncture in history where the only country that can cause decline is America. If we continue to govern ourselves without reaching consensus the way we have in the last decade, then decline may come. According to Dionne, in order to prevent decline, we must recognize each other more than we do. We also must honor our core sense of community and liberty and not see each other in utter denial of both of these things. Quoting John Winthrop, first governor of the Massachusetts Bay Colony, the chief figure among the Puritan founders of New England and Bruce Springsteen, Dionne argued there is a common vision for the character of the nation that spans centuries. John Winthrop said in a 1630 sermon, "A Model of Christian Charity": We must delight in each other; make others' conditions our own; rejoice together, mourn together, labor and suffer together, always having before our eyes our commission and community in the work, as members of the same body. Bruce Springsteen's most recent album includes the following line: Wherever this flag is flown, we take care of our own. Dionne posited that the two quotes speak to the best of us as a country: A nation where liberty thrives requires us to stand with each other and make each other's conditions our own. Regarding the 2012 election, Dionne posited the presidential campaign started the day after the debt ceiling fight was settled. After debt ceiling fight, Dionne posited that Obama changed tactics and began to draw sharper lines. Dionne was critical of the early part of the Obama administration, positing that the president was not willing to acknowledge nature of the fight he was in, which is rooted in who he is as a non-decisive figure. Dionne also said it is absurd to think he is a radical: I know socialists and they're insulted when Obama is called a socialist. In making a prediction on the election outcome, Dionne argued that (assuming better debate performance on the part of President Obama) the structure of the election favors Obama because there are more secure Democratic states than Republican states. One of the best tests will be the polling in Ohio in the next four days. Obama's been ahead in Ohio for a long time and Dionne believes there are key reasons for this, including the auto rescue. The election outcome will also depend on how much damage Mitt Romney can undo in the next 29 days from his 47% remarks and the Bain attacks. Watch the full Miller Center Forum with E.J. Dionne, Jr. here and tell us your thoughts. Are the nation's values of the communitarianism and individual liberty out of balance? Are conservatives largely responsible for the decline in political consensus? Or have both liberals and conservatives contributed to the political gridlock we face today?

What doctors can learn from each other
Different hospitals produce different results on different procedures. Only, patients don't know that data, making choosing a surgeon a high-stakes guessing game. Stefan Larsson looks at what happens when doctors measure and share their outcomes on hip replacement surgery, for example, to see which techniques are proving the most effective. Could health care get better — and cheaper — if doctors learn from each other in a continuous feedback loop?

Parks Canada
Home > Learn and Discover > Commemorating the War of 1812 > Educational Activities > The Language Of Fort Life
Fort Wellington was built at Prescott, Ontario during the War of 1812 to defend the St. Lawrence River corridor against American attack. At that time, the St. Lawrence River was the main "highway" for Upper Canada and Prescott was a major stopping off point for troops and supplies moving through the Great Lakes system. River frontiers bordering the United States were battle hot spots not only because the enemy was close at hand, but they were often the routes by which armies travelled. Fort Wellington fired on American troops as they made their way down river to attack Montreal in autumn of 1813. The American advance was stopped short at the Battle of Crysler's Farm, which took place near Morrisburg, Ontario on Nov. 11, 1813. Today Fort Wellington preserves elements of that first fort from the War of 1812 as well as buildings that were constructed as a result of the outbreak of the Rebellions in Canada in 1837. This activity may be done in groups or individually. To tell the story of life at Fort Wellington during the War of 1812 we use a special vocabulary. Most occupations have a particular way of talking, and the military is no exception. To learn some of the words that the soldiers used we'll play a guessing game with the terms listed below. The common meaning of words can change over time or from place to place.
drill, hard tack, hot shot, loophole, magazine
The most common drill at Fort Wellington wasn't an object but an activity. Drill is another word for practice. Soldiers would drill to improve skills such as marching and loading their muskets. During the winter of 1812-1813 soldiers at Fort Wellington drilled out on the ice of the St. Lawrence River, and on Feb. 22, 1813 they marched right across the river and captured the American town of Ogdensburg, New York. HARD TACK We might think swallowing any sort of tack would be painful, but hard tack was a type of food eaten by soldiers and men serving in the navy. While it was not dangerous to eat, hard tack wasn't very appetizing food. It was like a very dry, hard tea biscuit. It could be stored for long periods of time without spoiling. Hard tack, sometimes called ship's biscuit, could be taken on long voyages or stockpiled to serve as emergency rations that would be eaten if the fort was under siege. HOT SHOT "Hot shot" didn't mean "expert" or "important person" to the soldiers. In those days, hot shot was any sort of cannon-ball that was heated red hot before being fired at a target. Hot shot could set afire the sails and timbers of enemy ships along the St. Lawrence. LOOPHOLE For soldiers, "loophole" didn't mean a way to get around a rule. At the fort, a loophole is a special type of window, a narrow vertical slit in the blockhouse wall. The windows were designed this way so that soldiers could fire their guns out of the fort, but attacking soldiers would have difficulty firing in. The War of 1812 blockhouse at Fort Wellington contained 100 loopholes. MAGAZINE You couldn't read the fort's magazine. The magazine was the room or building where gunpowder was stored

Zermatt's ski instructors are world champions. Zermatt's contingent performed outstandingly well at the ISIA Ski Instructors World Championships in Bulgaria. Alex Taugwalder is World Champion Ski Instructor in Giant Slalom, with Demian Franzen third. Zermatt's instructors were also top dog in the synchronised runs.
At the International Ski Instructors Association (ISIA) World Championships held in Pamporovo, Bulgaria, at the end of January 2013 Zermatt's ski instructors stood head and shoulders above the rest. There were podium finishes for no fewer than two of Zermatt's contingent: Alexander Taugwalder picked up gold for first place in the Giant Slalom, and Demian Franzen won bronze for third place. "We are so proud of our new World Champion and our sensational third place!" says Ralph Schmidhalter of the Matterhorn Ski & Snowboard School Zermatt.

Ronald Honeycutt, 38, of Carmel, says he had just delivered a pizza at the Oaks Apartments around 11 p.m. Monday when a man approached him with a gun.
Honeycutt (pictured, right), who was near his delivery van and had his own gun, fired 15 times at the man, later identified as Jerome Brown, 20, of Indianapolis. Brown was taken to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
"The only thing I can do is protect myself, and if that means shooting somebody that intends to shoot you, so be it," Honeycutt told RTV6's Jack Rinehart Tuesday. "I'm sick of the crime and I'm sick of being victimized."
Honeycutt said that after the shooting, he picked up Brown's handgun and drove to a Pizza Hut, where sheriff's deputies took him into custody. Police questioned Honeycutt and then released him.
Pizza Hut, which has a policy forbidding deliverymen to carry weapons, fired Honeycutt soon after the shooting, Rinehart reported.
The county coroner's office Tuesday determined Brown died of multiple gunshot wounds.
Honeycutt said he used all the ammunition he had because Brown kept standing.
"The guy literally stood there the whole time with his arm up," Honeycutt said. "The whole time, I'm popping off rounds ... (and) the guy's still standing there after 15 rounds went off in him."
Honeycutt, who has a valid license to carry a firearm, said he planned to buy another handgun and go back to work with a different pizza business.
The Marion County prosecutor's office will review the case to determine whether Honeycutt acted in self-defense, Rinehart reported.
"If he didn't get fired the company would have to allow all employees the ability to register for a carry permit."
The company has no say about any person registering for a carry permit.
The company has no say about any person having/maintaining a carry permit.
The company should not have the ability to infringe on a constitutional right of the employee.
We need to stop allowing arbitrary institutions to usurp our rights. If the employer does not want you using force to protect their property or money, that is their choice.
When the employer believes that they can tell you not to defend yourself to protect your LIFE, that is a problem.
Now that's what I call a pizza man with an attitude. Whatever you make sure to tip him well or else...
If the pizza delivery guy had not been carrying a gun, we might be reading this headline instead:
Pizza delivery person murdered - Robbery is probable motive
What if the company policy said "no blacks" or "no women" or "no senior citizens".
Screw "company policy".
Yep. Companies can already run credit reports on you. How difficult would it be for them to determine if you have a CCW 'permit' or not? And then how difficult would it be for them to simply announce a "policy" whereby if you wanted to work there, you had to surrender your permit?
Tyranny is still tyranny, independent of who the "boss man" is. A tyranny ran by multinational corporations (which control the gov't) is no different than a tyranny ran by the gov't (which controls the corporations).
And before you folks start spouting off about "Free enterprise", it simply doesn't exist in this country except perhaps on very small and localized levels.
The gov't and large corporations have become incestously intertwined where one does the bidding of the other, and vice versa. Neither has any loyalty to the Constitution, America, or their fellow citizens.
Roughly the same as either a Federal 9mm 135 or a Remington 147 9mm, both of which probably have a little more penetration than the .40. The forty is fine if you like it; I prefer a 9.
If I was deliverying still, I'd carry the Kel-Tec .32 I carry now. Wasting rounds, as you say, is often more a sign of bad shooting rather than underperformance of the chosen round. And we don't know which handgun, though I'm guessing by the 15 rounds fired, it was a Glock. Cheaper hi-caps available, and Sigs are probably too heavy for pizza carry.
Better yet, he should get some more range time, shot placement trumps caliber.
Sounds like, from reading just this article. But we weren't there in his shoes.
It's easy for us to be armchair quarterbacks.
Be careful not to rush to judgement.
I am with you. No guns was a condition of his employment. He should be satisfied that he wasn't caught with the gun before and was able to use it when he needed it.
Please tell us more about trigger-happy NRA fanatics!
I'm a NRA member and I know hundreds more, I wouldn't call any of us trigger happy. We may be a bit fanatical about preserving our 2nd Ammendment rights, but I wouldn't put us on a par with the screaching harpys of NARAL, or the Million Moms for that matter.
And sensing you are a Dem troll, that's what should really scare you, there are millions of us out there every day, armed to the teeth and we look just like your Dad, your Brother, your Sister and your Mom.
We don't go through life dressed in Camo, we're generally not the ones with the bumper sticker that says, "Keep honking, I'm reloading".
Any time, any place, a theater, a park bench, in church, you could be sitting next to an armed American. (and FWIW, you will never be safer.)
Better yet, throw the brass at him, it'll knock him cold.
I was told at the border(without them seeing my CCW permit) "you know you aren't allowed to bring in any handguns with you into Canada, right sir?"
Why would they ask that unless they had a reason to?
In self defense stopping power is more important than penetration. That is why I shoot the .40 with the 135 GR COR-BON bullet. The one shot stopping power is 96% + and the bullet will stay in the perps chest. I don't want the bullet exiting the perp hitting an innocent bystander.
Thanks, good data.
If adrenaline is rushing, you will not notice the passage of time like you do in a calm state. You could empty the magazine before you knew it.
And why should any FREE man RUN from his attacker when he has the advantage? Why the F would you turn your back on such a person? Are you nuts?
YOu shoot to stop the confrontation, if the other dude ran away, fine. But if he stood there, you shoot until he's stopped(either down or running the other way.)

The only disagreement I have is that you should leave a few rounds for his buddy (in case he is not alone). That is what I was taught in my CFP class. But I wasn't there standing in front of someone pointing a gun at me so who am I to judge his actions?
You are absolutely correct. If PH hires and allows people to carry, they would have to train them in firearms, in most states procur an armed courier/guard/sherriffs special duty license and THEN, no insurance company would cover them for liability, worker's comp or probably casualty ins.
I believe you're on the wrong website. The "Website That Won't Be Named" is thataway.
I clicked your screen name and scrolled through your home page. It was hilarious! Thanks!
Every example I posted was widespread in "corporate America" until a few years ago. And it still goes on, although less blatant.
My point was simply that corporate "rights" don't trump over certain individual Rights, such as the Right to self defense.
I've seen similar sentiments posted on some of the gun forums.
It's very likely they have this info on you (and all of us), especially with the ongoing centralization of databases.
No way - really? You are so welcome! I love making people laugh. (Believe you me, you'd laugh even harder if you saw a picture of me today in that getup.)
A few years ago? You mean, 40 or so?
What is not mentioned in the article is the coroners report that Brown was so high on meth or crack that he would not have reacted to the initial half dozen gunshot wounds.
I don't think so.
She asked AFTER she had my ID in her possession. She didn't direct the question at my girlfriend at the time who was driving the car.
As far as exiting, the penatration figures don't mean exiting is automatic. I'm not saying the .40 is a bad load. Quite the contrary. But it isn't necessary as a well loaded nine will do the job just fine.
So, would you put .40SW "in between" 9mm and .45 ACP in terms of stopping power? That's my impression, also in terms of concealability.
Three shots with a 9 -- two to the chest, and one to the head, will stop just about anyone.
As far as all the statistics I could find on "One Shot Stopping Power", the .40 S&W COR-BON 135-GR is rated the highest (96% to 98%)with a .357 Mag Fed 125-GR JHP leading the way in revolvers. I'm not knocking the 9mm but a smaller grain bullet is recommended in self defense. My information shows a COR-BON 115-GR JHP+P with the best "One Shot Stopping Power" (91%).
I think we both agree that stitching up the seams (mid-section, 2 in the chest, and one in the head) will take care of business with either gun.
For your information from an earlier post
Who covers security companies?
Pizza Hut has a policy...No guns for employees! Therefore this employee was not following company policy. He should have been fired.
I called the main number just now (because my cell plan gives me free weekend minutes). The number is
During off hours, you will get the recorded message. When you do, press *8 then *2 to dial by name. Mr. Novak, the CEO, is unreachable. However, their "chief people officer"
Anne Byerlein IS reachable. I just left her a message.
Why, won't the police return his? If there was any justice (but TANJ!) He'd be awarded the robber's gun for the public service of cleaning up the gene pool.
Sounds like "Good Thing" to me.
They are open to them anyway, from the survivors of deliverymen (and women!) killed because they were unarmed. It's already happened many times. If they would allow carry only by individuals licensed by the state they'd probably be able to shift any liability to the state. They'd then only have a problem in those few states who obey the federal and their own state's Constitutions and do not infringe upon the right to keep and bear arms.
Time to get a .45
In other words, they don't give a sh*t about the lives of their employees, and are more concerned about the bottom line.
I agree. There are other places to buy pizza and that's what we plan to do.

I overpronate quite a bit, and these asics have surpassed my expectations - they are lighter than my old saucony's but have greater arch support :D

clove, name for a small evergreen tree ( Syzygium aromaticum or Eugenia caryophyllata ) of the family Myrtaceae (myrtle family) and for its unopened flower bud, an important spice. The buds, whose folded petals are enclosed in four toothlike lobes of the calyx, are gathered by hand, dried, and marketed either whole or ground for culinary purposes. Clove oil, obtained by distillation, is widely used in synthetic vanilla and other flavorings as well as in perfumes; it is often considered medicinal and antiseptic. The spicy fragrance of cloves was used by the Chinese (c.3d cent. B.C.) and by the Romans, but the first instance of finding the tree growing wild was recorded by the Portuguese when they discovered the Spice Islands. The Portuguese and then the Dutch held the clove trade in monopoly, eliminating the tree from all but a single island, until the late 18th cent. Today cloves are products also of other tropical areas, e.g., the West Indies and islands off E Africa such as Madagascar and Zanzibar. Clove is classified in the division Magnoliophyta, class Magnoliopsida, order Myrtales, family Myrtaceae.

Surrey's Stuart Meaker looking elsewhere with envy after rain ruins Durham game
13:56 28 April 2012
EMPICS Sport
Stuart Meaker was left frustrated as rain forced the third day of Surrey's County Championship match with Durham abandoned without a ball being bowled
Surrey fast bowler Stuart Meaker is looking at other County Championship games with envy after their game with Durham was washed out for the third day in a row.
A ball has yet to be bowled at the Oval and with tomorrow's forecast looking equally grim a draw seems highly likely.
"I think it's frustrating from the point of view that there are a few other games that have gone on and teams have picked up a couple of first innings points," Meaker told London24.
"Later on, towards the end of the year, those points will be vital for whoever gets them.
"The fact we can't get on and have a bowl or bat at the moment and pick up a few first innings wickets or runs.
"It's incredibly frustrating. You saw in the game against Middlesex where we narrowly lost by three runs, which was disappointing and we nearly had a result against Worcester here.
"We keep missing out on a couple of points to push our case forward.
"It's still early days. Hopefully we get some cricket in and some good results from those games."
With the rain flooding The Oval's outfield the Surrey players have had to find ways of passing the time.
"We've had the odd game of indoor football," Meaker added.
"There have been a few heated games going on there with the lads getting out their frustrations of sitting in the dressing room all day.
"We've had a few net sessions and been in the gym.
"The rest of the time we've sat around the dressing room talking nonsense. There's not a lot you can do really."
This season, the 23-year-old has taken 11 wickets for Surrey, at an average of 17.55, including a career best 6-39 against Worcestershire last week.

Taboo (real name: Jaime Gomez) is best known as "the guy in the Black Eyed Peas who isn't Will.I.Am and kind of dresses like Neo from The Matrix." So when a copy of his memoir, Fallin' Up, landed on my desk, my immediate reaction was "Why?" But reading the book has given me some insight into who Taboo is and actually made me respect him. While his own story is interesting – he grew up Latino in East L.A., had a kid young, and met his future BEP bandmates when they were doing rap and B-boy battles – it's, sadly, the parts of his book about other celebrities that are the most interesting. Here are a couple of choice tidbits.

"The wood base helps these go with most everything and the print on them limits it but with the multiple colors you wouldn't have issue wearing them with most solid color mixes. Very flattering, very high heel but that is why I bought them! Would look amazing with a solid Spring/pastel-colored dress!"
