Central Government Act
Section 560 in The Companies Act, 1956
560. Power of Registrar to strike defunct company off register.
Where the Registrar has reasonable cause to believe that a company is not carrying on- business or in operation, he shall send to the company by post a letter inquiring whether the company is carrying on business or in operation.
If the Registrar does not within one month of sending the letter receive any answer thereto, he shall, within fourteen days after the expiry of the month, send to the company by post a registered
1. Explanation omitted by Act 62 of 1956, s. 2 and Sch. (w. e. f. 1- 11- 1956 ).
2. Subs. by Act 31 of 1965, s. 62 and Sch., for" twenty- one" (w. e. f. 15- 10- 1965 ).
letter referring to the first letter, and stating that no answer thereto has been received and that, if an answer is not received to the second letter within one month from the date thereof, a notice will be published in the Official Gazette with a view to striking the name of the company off the register.
If the Registrar either receives an answer from the company to the effect that it is not carrying on business or in operation, or does not within one month after sending the second letter receive any answer, he may publish in the Official Gazette, and send to the company by registered post, a notice that, at the expiration of three months from the date of that notice, the name of the company mentioned therein will, unless cause is shown to the contrary, be struck off the resister and the company will be dissolved.
If, in any case where a company is being wound up, the Registrar has reasonable cause to believe either that no liquidator is acting, or that the affairs of the company have been completely wound up, and any returns required to be made by the liquidator have not been made for a period of six consecutive months, the Registrar shall publish in the Official Gazette and send to the company or the liquidator, if any, a like notice as is provided in subsection (3).
At the expiry of the time mentioned in the notice referred to in sub- section (3) or (4), the Registrar may, unless cause to the contrary is previously shown by the company, strike its name off the register, and shall publish notice thereof in the Official Gazette; and on the publication in the Official Gazette of this notice, the company shall stand dissolved: Provided that-
the liability, if any, of every director, the managing agent, secretaries and treasurers, manager or other officer who was exercising any power of management, and of every member of the company, shall continue and may be enforced as if the company had not been dissolved; and
nothing in this sub- section shall affect the power of the Court to wind up a company the name of which has been struck off the register.
If a company, or any member or creditor thereof, feels aggrieved by the company having been struck off the register, the Court, on an application made by the company, member or creditor before the expiry of twenty years from the publication in the Official Gazette of the notice aforesaid, may, if satisfied that the company was, at the
time of the striking off, carrying on business or in operation or otherwise that it is just that the company be restored to the register, order the name of the company to be restored to the register; and the Court may, by the order, give such directions and make such provisions as seem just for placing the company and all other persons in the same position as nearly as may be as if the name of the company had not been struck off.
Upon a certified copy of the order under sub- section (6) being delivered to the Registrar for registration, the company shall be deemed to have continued in existence as if its name had not been struck off.
A letter or notice to be sent under this section to a company may be addressed to the company at its registered office, or if no office has been registered, to the care of some director, the managing agent, secretaries and treasurers, manager or other officer of the company, or if there is no director, managing agent, secretaries and treasurers, manager or officer of the company whose name and address are known to the Registrar, may be sent to each of the persons who subscribed the memorandum, addressed to him at the address mentioned in the memorandum.
A notice to be sent under this section to a liquidator may be addressed to the liquidator at his last known place of business. PART VIII APPLICATION OF ACT TO COMPANIES FORMED OR REGISTERED UNDER PREVIOUS COMPANIES LAWS

main panel upgrade cost
I'm running out of circuits in my main panel. I had a couple of electricians come in to quote a change of my 100A, 20 circuit main panel to a 30 circuit panel. They both quoted $650. Is this an expected price?
The panel cannot support tandem breakers.
Since you are staying with a 100 amp service, I would think a sub panel would work too. It would be a lot easier.
I would think a subpanel maybe a little more because there more material needed. Whereas all the material needed is a bigger panel not as much.
Price sounds good to me; I paid about double that but that is why you have to shop and asking prices here doesn't work unless I lived next door to you and even then conditions/situations are so different that they are usually an apples:oranges comparison.
Changing over a panel is easy, do you have any knowledge of electrical?
I did consider a subpanel but I already have at least 5 future circuits in mind, and would like the capacity for more, so I'd like at least 10 new breakers. There might be subpanels that are that big, but I'd rather have just one panel taking up wall space. Plus, if we decide to put an addition on the house 10-15 yrs down the line, I would just upgrade to 200A altogether, and I figure it'd be easier to switch out the one panel instead of take out two.
I find it interesting that both electricians both quoted $650 without even blinking an eye. I wonder if thats the standard cost for upgrading a panel?
Personally I'd pop for the 200A upgrade now. While $650 might be a decent price, IMO it is a lot to spend for 10 extra circuits.
Also, a sub panel will be considerable cheaper in most cases. It is MUCH easier to add a new empty panel next to an existing one that it is to replace a full 20 circuit main panel.
And i don't know what jersey is thinking. Thee is much more material in replacing a main panel. How about a full panel's worth of breakers?
But I also think spending $1500 (his estimate) to upgrade to 200A is a lot to spend, especially on capacity I probably don't need. I have oil heat, gas range, and my big electric appliances are central air for 1500 sq ft house, electric dryer, dishwasher, OTR microwave.
You wrote: "But I also think spending $1500 (his estimate) to upgrade to 200A is a lot to spend..."
I thought your estimates were $650 to do this swap?
$650 to upgrade to a 100A 30 circuit panel, from a 20 circuit panel
$1500 to upgrade to a 200A service
If you think you will be upgrading to 200 amp in the future have him put in a 200 amp panel now with a 100 breaker in it. Then in the future you will only have to change the breaker and service feeding it. The panel can reamin.
Installing a sub-panel will be cheaper and easier.
My vote is to go 200 amp or add a sub-panel.
Replacing the panel with one with more slots is extra work without much benifit.
Adding a sub-panel is an easier DIY project.
I think that 200amp panels are unnecissary in most cases.
It will add a lot of cost:Probably around triple, depending on your setup.
How many times has someone tripped a main breaker?
I'm not an electrician, but I've never heard of it happening.

Hundreds of Immigrant Kids Held at Lackland
The state of Arizona has offered thousands of mattresses and other supplies for the scores of immigrant children being dumped off there – this while hundreds more await transport out of Lackland Air Force Base.
Many are unaccompanied minors, including girls under the age of 12, traveling from as far away as Central America to the Rio Grande Valley.
Susan Kibbe at the South Texans' Property Rights Association believes what's driving the influx is part cartel violence – part White House policy.
"Just shut off the use of the word amnesty I think would go a long way toward helping," Kibbe tells KTRH News. "And then creating some sort of PR agreement with all of these other countries."
"It's just not right to allow for the most part, innocent people having to run the gauntlet to get to a country that respects freedom, and to a certain degree rule of law, though right now it doesn't seem like it," she says.
Because consulates are few and far between in south Texas, you can't simply deport them.
"If they are not able to find family members within the country that can take them or sponsor them, they're being held until officials can come up with a better solution," says Kibbe.
Because of the red tape and drain on government resources, Homeland Security says the program will continue for the foreseeable future.

Insurance settlement for work shoulder injury
Last year I had an accident resulting in a torn rotator cuff. I have had the surgery, the rehab, several months paid off work to recover, and was released by the doctor to return to work several months ago. I have been back to work, working as I was before without problems, in the landscaping industry, since then. Several days ago, I recieved a message from the insurance company that handled my case for my employer informing me that the doctor had released me with a 12% permanent shoulder impairment and they wanted to discuss terms for the settlement. I had no idea I was going to get any settlement, I thought everything was done for my case. I don't remember my doctor telling me specifically that I had a 12% permanent impairment. I just recall him saying that I probably would not have full use as before. Could anyone give me advice as to how to deal with negotiating the settlement? How much should I expect to get in a case such as this? Could I benefit by having a lawyer handle the negotiation for me; i.e. would an attorney be able to get me more money.? PS -- The accident did NOT involve negligence.

re: Insurance settlement for work shoulder injury
If you are injured at work (regardless of negligence), you are entitled to a settlement if you have a permanent impairment. The work comp insurer probably asked the doctor to give you a permanent impairment rating, which appears to be 12% to your left or right upper extremity. It is not totally unusual that you have not been provided a copy of the doctor's rating, although you have a right to see it if you ask.
What you are entitled to based on the 12% depends on your average weekly wage. Also, you are entitled to get another opinion. Often doctors who treat you who are paid by the work comp people do not give the most favorable ratings to you.
It is up to you to decide whether to hire a lawyer, but in general I believe if a lawyer works hard on your case, you will end up in better shape, even after you pay his or her fees of 25% of the recovery.

re: Insurance settlement for work shoulder injury
I can't speak for Kansas WC law and how settlements are computed.
But try substituting your own figures into the following example.
Age 35.
30 years to retirement
Income 25000 x 30 = 750,000
12% of 750,000 = 90,000
The settlement theoretically should be the Present Value of the 90,000 at a reasonable rate of return.
Present Value is the amount of money you would need now to grow to 90,000 in 30 years.
Using 5% as a reasonable rate of return, the Present Value is 20823.97.
Here's the calculator:
I have not adjusted for inflation or potential raises because that would make the calculations too complicated for just illustration purposes.
True, an attorney might be able to get the 12% rating kicked up.
But there's no harm in waiting till you see what the offer is before seeing the attorney.
Once you get an offer, if you feel the need for an attorney, make sure you get a written contingency agreement based on any additional amount the attorney can get for you, not the whole amount.
You certainly don't want to pay the attorney 25% of money you already got offered on your own.

re: Insurance settlement for work shoulder injury
Just thought of another way of looking at it.
Take 12% of the annual income of 25000 = 3000.
Then figure how much you'd need now at 5% to provide an income of 3000 per year for 30 years.
As best as I can figure you'd need about 45,000 to 50,000.
Also not adjusted for inflation or raises.
One thing you can do when you get the offer is ask for specifics on how it was calculated. I doubt if they are going to just pick a figure out of the air.

re: Insurance settlement for work shoulder injury
It is completely statutory. You take your percentage of disability, look at the statute for how many weeks of wage that equates to, and then multiply that amount of weeks times 2/3 of your average weekly wage.

yea pinks flood on it, and ny thins clog mad fast, ny fats apparently dotn work? and greys clogs sometimes too. but for rusto all you really need are rusto fats
ny fats work on painter touch, not sure about AA, it drips quite a bit too so wear gloves
Astro fats on rusto's are nice as fuck, love them flairs.
Zealous Ink (Black Bliss!) 4 oz Refills Available Very Soon!!
Its a hit or miss.
if i an get enough money to get myself a can of montana i love level 5 caps
but most the time all i get is extra tall rusto cans
gotta rack my paint
found the "montana calligraphy" caps (black housing with a yellow "dot". the type you can turn) on some 3m picture something adhesive. i think it was this one
but it comes with this exact cap (picture from my phone)
it doesn't produce a clean line by any means but it'd work okay for fills
you can also find a really good all-around cap from these
it has a german outline 2 type shell and works great for filling and outlines. pretty smooth, hard lines on rustoleum and krylon.
but anyways, both can be found at walmart. the 3m spray is in the crafts (right next to the elmer's glue spray adhesive which happens to have rusto fats) and the invisible glass is in the auto section.
that's the one on the invisible glass cans
Last edited by xaaronx; 11-12-2008 at 10:38 PM.
a friend of mine runs a site with those Stoner Invisible Glass caps. They are not the same as the German Outline 2, they are more like the old Rustoleum Stock caps, but I will agree they do look similar to the German 2's.
Here's a photo:
and here's the link:
They also work super well on Spanish Montana.
Last edited by SloppySeconds; 11-13-2008 at 12:30 PM. Reason: more info
oh, i know they aren't actual G.O.2's. i was just saying they share the same shell. works great and i still use it almost every time i go out.
i'm really glad you posted that link, though. i MIGHT have to buy a few.
Are there any caps that can spray extra long distances? I have a unfinished piece and I can't reach some spots, I tried astro fat, but still couldn't reach all the spots.
never hurts to look a few pages back.
Click the picture above ^
visit my flickr:Originally Posted by poler
skinny pro=heaven. trust.
heres my 2 cents...i can only use rusto fats, ny thins, and ny fats on rusto confidently without pouring half of the paint on the ground
depending on where you get your tips, ocasionaly youll get a german tip that works on rusto
heres the break down
rustoleum: rusto fats, ny thins, ny fats
krylon: german fats, german thins, pink dots, etc.
mtn: leveled tips, colored dots, german tips
you can all take a german tip and a ny tip and flip them upside down and look at the caps penis, on a german tip, the gap is wider, on american tips the gap isnt as wide
thats why you get certain tips that flood on your rusto!
astro fats wont necisarily work on rusto either, ive had several sets that did, and several sets that didnt
if you dont like how your tips are working on your rusto, buy mtn
"You are a fat toy who's moms a whore." -LACAN
Bountyhunter - I saw that one before posting, but I can't get my hands on those caps anywhere (I don't live in the USA, so I can't buy exactly the same things that are shown here, i'm sure that there are those caps on something, but I just can't find them) But thanks.
H3TT1NG3R - thanks for the tip, will try it out, hopefuly it won't fuck that up very much
What would you guys say if I found a way to use your all favorite male caps on male cans? painters touch/american accents

"Adored this card. Easy to create. Received SO MANY COMPLIMENTS! Will continue to avoid the Christmas card frenzy and continue to send a family Valentine's Day one instead!"
"I wanted to send a photo card and not a 2-fold card. I really loved the layout of this photo card! The image I chose to use went great with it. Although I wish I could of added another text box, maybe in the bottom corner. Or on the back which was just an original design. To allow for a message and the date Elsewhere. I couldn't get another image to work good enough on the back to do this. Overall I am happy with my daughters Valentine card I made and my family members loved It as well!"
"I like this layout for it's simplicity. The wording does not interfere with the photo - allowing the photo to be the centerpiece of the card. I also liked that I could select various layouts on the back."
"Beautiful card. Excellent card quality. Changed it from a birth announcement to a Thank You card. I kept the black and pink colours and only changed the wording at the very bottom to - our long awaited baby girl. On the back I added another photo and Thank You for your lovely gift with our names. Everyone has commented on how beautiful they are. Really pleased with them and will be keeping one for her memory box."
"The most encouraging thing about your company is you can talk to a person. Plus you have an artist checking the design before it is printed. They can help one make changes only if necessary. I truly appreciated this factor. I will order from you in the future. The paper you use is high quality. Everyone loved our card. Several people asked for the address to check out your products. I was truly pleased with our end result. Thank you. Everyone I spoke to was friendly, helpful, and pleasant."

I'm a big fan of buttery pastries, give me a slice of butter cake anytime and I would be the happiest person on earth, during that few minutes of devouring the cake, that is. That would also explain why there isn't any post on chiffon cake after more than 3 years of blogging. Chiffon cake to me is, well, simply too dry and not "oily" enough. But I think I am going to try out chiffon cake soon, as I have brought along a few mini chiffon cake pans which I got from the Daiso in Singapore. But that will be another post for another time.
This time round, I'm going to share another wonderful recipe that I adapted from this book again. It's a yummy and buttery shortbread recipe with coffee and wheat flavours. If you are like me, who craves for anything with loads of butter from time to time, this is a recipe that you wouldn't want to miss!
Coffee and Wheat Shortbread Recipe
Wheat Shortbread
70g butter
100g plain flour
50g wheat flour
30g caster sugar
Coffee Shortbread
70g butter
150g plain flour
1 tbs instant coffee, dissolved in 1 tsp of hot water
30g caster sugar
Method (Wheat shortbread):
1) Cut cold butter into 5mm cubes, keep it in the fridge until ready to be used.
2) Lightly greased a 18-cm tart pan with removable bottom.
3) Mix plain flour, wheat flour and caster sugar evenly in a mixing bowl.
4) Rub in butter with hands until the flour mixture is completely incorporated and a smooth dough is formed.
5) Spread and press the dough onto the tart pan. Using the back of a knife, score the dough lightly into 8 wedges. This will make the shortbread easier to cut once it is baked.
6) Keep the tart pan with dough in the fridge for 30 mins. In the mean time, pre-heat the oven to 160 deg C.
7) Remove the dough from the fridge, and then bake in the pre-heated oven for 25-30 minutes.
8) While the shortbread is still hot, cut it into 8 wedges and let it cool to room temperature.
**For coffee shortbread, the only difference during the preparation process is to add the dissolved coffee in the flour mixture together with butter.

Levi says he is excited about the wedding and that he can't wait to have siblings which he is planning on naming Colt, Uzi and AK-47. About 100 people turned up at the wedding on Saturday and none of them was named Bristol Palin. I don't think their son Tripp was there either.

'Penguins: Are 2-0 vs. Buffalo, including 2-1 overtime victory on road Nov. 14. … C Milan Kraft has four goals and eight assists in past 11 games. … 8-1-1 record in past 10 games is best of any NHL team.'
Archives for March 2004
Penguins Report
Scouting the Sabres
'The Sabres are coming off a 2-1 win over the Montreal Canadiens on Wednesday night, and have won two in a row. They are six points behind the New York Islanders for the eighth and final playoff seed in the Eastern Conference with six games left including tonight.'
Sabres grind out a win
'And now, let's make a return to reality. As has been their pattern of late, the Sabres played a gritty game and deserved a positive result. In nine of their last 11 games Buffalo has earned at least a point, going 6-2-0-3. Unfortunately, the Islanders have rebounded from a rough patch a few weeks ago to match the Sabres' streak and maintain their advantage.'
Sabres keep Islanders in their sights
It was an impressive display and a clutch victory. Now the Buffalo Sabres only need to repeat that six more times in succession and hope the New York Islanders disintegrate like a sandcastle in a tsunami.
Biron seeks tighter grip on top job
One certainty about Martin Biron is that he can be asked one question, and he'll provide 37 answers. He was asked about his baseball cap Wednesday after the Sabres' morning skate, and he somehow rolled it into a story about his father working the tobacco fields back in Quebec. By the time he was finished, I wondered how he started.
Mair discovers scoring touch
'"He does a lot of good things for our club," coach Lindy Ruff said. "He does a lot of things that he doesn't get a lot of recognition for. He's the guy that'll respond for any teammate on the team. He's got good hands.'
Sabres stall Habs' playoff push
'The good news is the Canadiens aren't likely to meet the Buffalo Sabres in the National Hockey League playoffs. That's good news because the Canadiens have this thing about playing at HSBC Arena. They haven't won a game in Buffalo since Oct. 26, 2001, and their losing streak reached seven games last night when they dropped a 2-1 decision to the Sabres.'
Habs can't end Buffalo jinx
'The Buffalo Sabres believe they're still in the running for a playoff spot in the Eastern Conference but their fans don't seem to share that faith. Before last season, you could always count on a sellout crowd when the Canadiens played in Buffalo, but there were more than 2,000 unsold tickets for last night's game.'
Buffalo 2, Montreal 1
'The Canadiens went down with a flurry of shots in the final five minutes. Some were able to get through to Biron, while others were blocked by defenders, who were diving to stop pucks at every opportunity. "Guys were really playing hard in front of me,'' Biron said.'
Buffalo 2, Montreal 1
'"The six games we have left, I know we may have to go out and win all of them," Sabres defenseman Jay McKee said. "We're looking at it as one game at a time. … Sure, it's a big task, but I think every player in this room didn't get to the point in hockey where he is without thriving on challenges."'
Sabres Hang On For Win
'Regardless of the score or situation this season, a Sabres fan can never rest too easy. Buffalo was dominant for the entire game until Montreal scored in the final minutes. Luckily for the Sabres, Martin Biron was able to keep the offensive onslaught at bay to save a 2-1 victory at HSBC Arena.'
Roy feels right at home down the stretch
'"Derek is fearless in that sense," coach Lindy Ruff said. "I've been really impressed with some of the composure he's shown. I think the tighter the game gets and the more fierce it gets, he kind of lowers the visor and becomes a little mini-bull."'
Sabres vs. Canadiens
'The Canadiens can clinch a playoff spot with a win or tie tonight.'
Sabres tough at home
'For the record, the last time Montreal won in Buffalo was Oct. 26, 2001. Since then, the Canadiens have lost six consecutive games, although they picked up a point last season for an overtime loss.'
Sabres' playoff hopes hinge on perfect run
'''Right now the seed we're planting is there's a good chance that if we can put on a real good run that we can get in,'' Ruff said. ''Seven and 0. I'm not saying it's unrealistic.'''

I have a 1997 Audi a4 1.8T quattro with an automatic trans. I just bought it about 2 weeks ago and I'm still learning a lot of Audi/VW specific tech stuff, but I fancy myself a more than adequate amateur mechanic. So here's my question:
Part 1:
A few days ago it didn't go into reverse right away, but after a few seconds went into gear. Yesterday It started doing it consistently and taking longer to go into reverse. Sometimes it shows it's in Neutral before reverse engages, but not all of the time. It seems to function in drive just fine, with the exception of sometimes going to about 3,000-3,500 RPMS while driving gently before up-shifting at about 45-50 mph (I'm not sure if thats normal or not), and all of the gears are NOT lit up on the gauge cluster when in drive. Twice it's made a bit of a clunk when shifting at low speeds, but otherwise seems to be smooth. The downside is the tires make some noise (the wheel bearings are fine) and could hide a quieter noise or vibration.
It has been rainy and wet, and I'm hoping like hell someone will tell me it's Neutral Safety Switch (whatever Audi calls it at least) on it's way out, but I'm worried it's the trans itself?
Part 2:
If it is the trans, are there any special tools I will need to swap it? Are there any special factors to consider when looking for a used trans and far as it fitting my car, and will I need some kind of VAG-COM to change any values?
I looked at Ross-tech but it's kind of pricey, Is there any VAG-COM for under $100 that will do anything I'd need it to on a 1997 A4?
Thanks a ton for any help you guys can give me!

Edmore DDA hopes to draw visitors to historic building site
EDMORE — If the walls of the historic General Bag building could talk, tales of the old brick building would reveal the variety of business operations conducted there during its 125-year existence.
In the late 1800s, the whistle blew as the CSX train twined in and around Edmore businesses to pick up and transport local farm produce and other manufactured goods. The train stopped at the loading dock at W.R. Roach & Co, a canning factory where several hundred seasonal workers packed and sealed vegetables from fields Roach had leased.
In 1939, the canning factory was purchased by General Bag Corporation of Cleveland, Ohio, and the factory changed from canning vegetables to manufacturing cotton and burlap bags for the farm industry.
General Bag Corp. went out of business in the mid-1990s after a half century of booming commerce. The building sat vacant until the Edmore Downtown Development Authority (DDA) purchased it in the fall of 2009.
Trail takes center stage
Trains no longer stop in Edmore and the old railroad corridor has been replaced by the Fred Meijer Heartland Trail. The last trail section on the old railroad bed between Edmore and Riverdale was paved this summer, making a total distance of nearly 40 miles from just northeast of Greenville to Edmore and east to Alma.
Eventually, the Heartland Trail will connect to a much larger trail system and create a continuous 125-mile trail, the fifth largest in the United States.
Trail supporters and community leaders hope to cash in on that and draw more recreation enthusiasts to Edmore. The former General Bag building, one of the oldest buildings in Edmore, located next to the trailhead is a big part of that.
"We want to give people a reason to stop along their journey," said Edmore DDA member Rich Adgate. "The continual trail expansion gives us even more motive to use this as an opportunity to help preserve our little nook."
Edmore residents Brandon Moore and his father, Dennis, enjoy riding bike on the trail together.
"We're out on the trail three to four times a week and go anywhere from seven to eight miles at a time," Brandon said. "On my day off, I usually head to Alma or Greenville."
Dennis said the central location of the Edmore trailhead brings people to town.
"We're in a perfect spot here, right in the middle," he said. "Trail riders stay at the hotel and shop our local businesses."
Creative new use
The eight-member DDA group of Darrell Smith, Rich Adgate, Mark Sopel, Art Buskirk, Karl Kluwe, Lon Leonard, Jack Miller and Tony Maxfield has big plans to transform the General Bag building into a visitor center and old-fashioned marketplace to shop, freshen up and picnic.
According to Miller, the DDA president, the site will be modeled after the Shipshewana Auction and Flea Market in Indiana.
"The ultimate goal would be to develop the building as a four-season marketplace," Miller said. "Our vision is to have 40 shops, half operated by Amish craftsmen, where people can spend the day shopping for unique turn-of-the-century items."
A number of improvements already have been made to the building. The upper section of crumbling brick façade was removed. New windows and a fresh coat of paint were added to the remaining façade.
An old loading dock was removed from the north side. The area has been excavated, several large trees and pieces of old foundation have been removed, and grass and trees have been planted along the parking area.
Heartland Trail adventurists are enjoying this summer's recent additions of a paved parking lot, restroom facility and pavilion. A farm market takes place on the site Tuesdays and Fridays.
Eventually, visitors will be able to enjoy year-round events, including an outdoor flea market two to three days each week and occasional animal-based auctions.
Also this month, development will continue as Amish workers begin reroofing the 30,000-square-foot building with custom-made timbers made from pine logs at an Amish sawmill in Blanchard.
"How quickly we progress from here depends on funding," Miller said. "We hope to utilize a Community Development Block Grant to fund the remainder of the project."
Robin Miller is an Edmore resident.

Woman fighting uncommon disease
There was the day the doctors told Patricia Dragani she had maybe five years to live.
In a way, they were right.
That was in 2007, when physicians struggled to identify the illness that had stricken Dragani, robbed her of her vitality, halted her on-the-go lifestyle, ended her life as she knew it.
Relaxing in the living room of the home where she lives with her husband, Chuck, in a secluded, wooded area of Armstrong Township, Dragani told about the dramatically different life she now leads.
Her days are filled with uncertainty about the progress of her disease; she is secluded from close crowds. Rarely does she venture from her home. But her days also are filled with being at peace with God, expressing her creativity in art and writing, and finding ways to use her experience to comfort and enlighten others, said Dragani, 66.
It is vasculitis, the microscopic polyangiitis strain and central nervous system version, that has done this.
It's the same disease that claimed movie director-actor Harold Ramis last month.
Ramis, 69, died Feb. 24, from the ailment that's so uncommon that the Associated Press didn't mention vasculitis in his obituary, reporting only that Ramis "suffered for several years from an autoimmune disease that caused inflammation and damage to his blood vessels."
Vasculitis is a result of the immune system attacking the patient's veins and arteries, CNN reported in a story about Ramis' death.
Blood vessels become inflamed, and the flow of blood is restricted or blocked, according to the National Institutes of Health. Vasculitis also can cause an aneurysm, potentially leading to dangerous internal bleeding.
"Basically, the arteries can be leaking, they can be blocked or broken, and that all causes problems," said Dr. Peter Merkel, a rheumatologist and director of the Penn Vasculitis Center at the University of Pennsylvania medical school, told CNN. "If you interrupt the blood supply, whatever organ or tissue is being supplied downstream is unhappy."
There are about 15 varieties of vasculitis, and three in a million people get it, Dragani said.
Not being a readily identified ailment, doctors went after the symptoms that started forcing Dragani to take time off her work as executive director of ICW Vocational Services, in Indiana.
Surgery for esophageal problems and a collapsed lung in late 2006 didn't solve it. Red bumps appeared on her legs. Bouts of dizziness and fatigue baffled Dragani and her physicians in Indiana and Pittsburgh.
A battery of blood tests performed in 2007 at the Mayo Clinic ultimately identified vasculitis as the cause, as her condition worsened.
Next came a program of steroid treatment with prednisone, intestinal surgery, an operation on her sinuses and more.
The most successful treatment so far, she said, has been a drug called CellCept, an immune-system control medicine normally used to prevent rejection in organ transplant patients.
Not knowing whether they could ever pull in the reins on the symptoms, physicians told Dragani of a bleak outlook.
She set out to prove them wrong, by going through staggering changes in her life and outlook.
Unable to go back to work, the disease forced early retirement from ICW in 2008. She was just 60.
"You think you go to the doctor, you get a diagnosis, you get treatment and you get well," she said. "But not with most autoimmune diseases. You have to come to terms with where you're going to be and what you're going to be about. The hardest part for me was rediscovering who I am and finding how I could still have purpose and value in my life.
"Everything that I knew about me was gone. So we accepted that," Dragani said. "Over the years, all these specialists have checked everything, and I can't get well. And the purpose of my being has become, 'how can I get well and get my life back?'
"And then I discovered, you can't — at least not with the disease I have."
Letting go of her active lifestyle was first. That meant dealing with the lack of strength and realizing she could get sick more easily. She could catch colds or other illnesses that would have worse symptoms and last longer.
Some of her new symptoms would almost never go away, such as the dizziness that persists because the vasculitis has damaged the part of her brain that controls her sense of balance.
You could call it the acceptance step of Dragani's own self-support program, one that she's creating on the fly.
"I had to learn to become my own advocate, so I have studied and continue to study everything I can learn about this," Dragani said.
She researched vasculitis, contacted area support groups and discovered a national advocacy group, the Vasculitis Foundation, that has been a pillar for her.
Dragani learned the nuances of the disease, the known varieties of vasculitis, their effects (her strain has attacked her central nervous system), the treatments and how to cope.
"I've learned who my enemy is and how to deal with it," she said.
She said she also is driven to share what she has learned so other vasculitis patients might have a little less mystery and worry to contend with.
Dragani has become a contributing writer for the Vasculitis Foundation's national newsletter, penning reviews of books and articles about living with vasculitis. In the May/June 2013 issue, Dragani reviewed "You Don't Look Sick! Living Well with Chronic Illness," by Joy Selak and Steven Overman.
"Most helpful to me was the book's description of the four major phases of a chronic illness and the best ways to cope with them," Dragani wrote. "I have been able to develop a more realistic plan for my 'new life' — utilizing the gifts I still possess and am able to share with others."
Dragani recommends an article by Meghan O'Rourke, who recounted her battle against autoimmune disease in a column, "What's Wrong With Me?" in the Aug. 26 issue of The New Yorker, in a review she has submitted for the foundation's next newsletter.
Dragani empathizes with O'Rourke's experiences of having occasional energetic days followed by flare-ups of her symptoms, and being told by the doctors "that this may be 'just how it's going to be.'"
Support foundations are among the biggest vehicles for promoting awareness and support for research for many medical causes — heart disease, birth defects and many forms of cancer among them.
Being uncommon, vasculitis doesn't have a wealth of community fundraising events and ad campaigns with celebrities endorsing the work to prevent and cure it.
For that reason, Dragani lamented the death of Harold Ramis, after a years-long bout with vasculitis, a fight that he kept private.
"He struggled with it for years but didn't want the general public to know," Dragani said. "He was still active and worked on projects, but all of a sudden, in the last few months, he became a recluse and stayed in and couldn't do anything anymore.
"In my experience, it just takes all of your energy out of you."
Talking with her doctors at UMPC Presbyterian in Pittsburgh, Dragani said they told her of a common thread she shared with Ramis and other vasculitis patients — a propensity for the disease to strike people with active, energetic lives.
"They said they have never found someone who was not a driven, successful person, who had vasculitis," Dragani said.
And she noted the irony that after working so many years as an executive at ICW Vocational Services, vasculitis has left her more like the agency clients whose lives she tried to improve: with disabilities, fundamental daily challenges, no longer independent and now relying more on others for help.
"Vasculitis took everything from me — all of my energy, my self-esteem, my self-confidence, the feeling that I'm able to do things, be productive and be a successful human being. It's gone.
"That's why I'm trying with all of my heart to create a new life."
Dragani won't soon be on a lecture circuit telling her story of acceptance of the life-changing nature of vasculitis, but she said she is open to meet one on one, mainly by phone, with anyone interested in knowing her story.
Defying the prognosis has meant being faithful to doctors' orders — "The prednisone save my life," she said — and following recommendations for diet, exercise and just coping with the most difficult days vasculitis has handed her.
Sometimes she has been well enough for a trip to the supermarket, where she focused on staying in the least crowded aisles to avoid contact with people. But attending Mass at St. Bernard of Clairvaux Church has been out of the question for several years now, and "that's been hard for me," she said.
Lay leaders visit her home weekly to share communion bread and to socialize; others help with laundry, groceries and taking her to doctor appointments.
Other times, Dragani said, even catching a cold has forced her to stay isolated for weeks or months at a time.
"There have been several times when it looked like I wasn't going to make it. Various things would happen, and conditions would get so much worse, Dragani said. "But each time — praise God — I made it through."
And that, she has accepted, too.
"I'm suddenly now able to be alone with God. I was unhappy that I couldn't be working, but I discovered work I can do at home. I can talk to people, I'm on a prayer chain at church, and I can talk to people who have problems and help them find resources that they might not be able to find on their own.
"I've learned about peace, discovering the beauty of quiet," she said. "It's like a spiritual life now, versus physical. I want to share my gifts more than before.
"It's easier to love and be peaceful when you're not in the middle of a job with all kinds of deadlines."
Her daily job now is simple. Find a way to get through the day.
"I'd love to help, to be a spokesperson for what's going on with this illness — to reach a lot of people who may not realize what they have," Dragani said. "I want to help people to get through their daily struggles. I think I've figured out so much about how to do that and come out the other end and find joy and peace and love. I'd be thrilled to share that with people I don't even know."
What she offers are encouragement, advice, even referrals to the Vasculitis Foundation and other agencies.
"It's almost as though my mission in life has been to help people with disabilities. This is a form of disability. … So it is like an extension of my work for those 37 years."

World Chefs: Malaysian cook aims to awaken U.S. palates to her native food
By Dorene Internicola
NEW YORK (Reuters) - Southeast Asian chef and author Christina Arokiasamy likes to say that when the flavors dance, that's Malaysia, and she's on a mission to awaken palates to the unique pleasures of her native cuisine.
"Americans tell me they love the Asian flavors of India, Japan and Vietnam but they don't know what Malaysian is and now they're discovering it," she said after a tasting event in New York.
Last year the Malaysian government appointed the 46-year-old, who was born in Kuala Lumpur, trained in Bali and Thailand and now lives in Seattle, Washington, their food ambassador to the United States.
Arokiasamy, who wrote the part memoir, part cookbook "The Spice Merchant's Daughter," spoke about Malaysia's melting-pot cuisine, the ginger and lemongrass growing in her garden in Malaysia where she also has a home, and how Asians will travel for good peanut sauce.
Q: How did you learn to cook?
A: I trained in Bali, Indonesia, at the Four Seasons and in Thailand, at the Four Seasons as well ... but my mother was the best culinary artist I could ever find in the whole wide world and taught me everything I needed to know about the underpinnings of our cuisine. She was a spice merchant and she could whip up any spice you could imagine as if she had a wand.
Q: Why did the Malaysian government appoint you food ambassador to the United States?
A: Marriage brought me to the United States. While I was writing my book I had a cooking school in Seattle, Washington ... I have taught everybody, from mothers to CEOs, to cook Malaysian foods and understand the underpinnings, which is why the government of Malaysia came to me. Continued...

Now that we're allowed to eat as many eggs as we want, I have a frittata for lunch at least once a week! This variant I knocked up the other evening, much to the pleasure of my wife and my sister, after attending one of those parties where you expected food, yet none materialised.
For 1. Cooking time six minutes
2-3 free range eggs
130g spinach, well washed
1 clove garlic, sliced
Handful of mustard cress
1 trout fillet, smoked or fresh, cooked
Squeeze lemon
3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
salt and pepper
Gently heat two tablespoons of olive oil in your best omelette pan and fry the garlic until golden. Whack the heat up, drop the spinach in immediately and start turning it over with a spoon/spatula until it wilts. Season.
Tip the spinach into a sieve and squish it with the back of a spoon so the water comes out. Wipe the omelette pan clean with kitchen roll then return to a medium heat.
Add the last of the olive oil and crack the eggs into it. Use a fork to break the yolks and swirl them around a bit - but you want streaks of yellow and white, not a beaten thing like an omelette.
The eggs will quickly start setting. As they do, draw the outer edges of the frittata back to the middle of the pan, then tip it so that the runny egg moves to the outside. Fork on the spinach, then flake on the fish.
Finish with a squeeze of lemon and a sprinkling of mustard cress.

Multiplayer Guide
Eternal's Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare Multiplayer Guide
Right, so we all know Call of Duty 4 multiplayer is kick-ass. But do we all know the little details?
Jumping is not as effective as it is in Halo 3 or other 'old school' first person shooters. Because this is a very realistic game, it mimics real life physics and the consequences or jumping. In Call of Duty 4, jumping affects your running speed and reduces your sprint capacity. The default button for jumping is 'A'.
Being prone and/or crouching can benefit you in many ways. There are several advantages but a couple of disadvantages. Being prone gives your shots more accuracy and makes you a harder-to-hit target. However, you are more susceptible to headshots which will instantly kill you. Crouching is a halfway position between prone and standing. The default button for changing positions is 'B'.
Sprinting is one useful tool, if you know how to use it correctly. Never sprint around corners, because you never know if a terrorist or a soldier is just waiting there to shoot you. Sprinting can be used to get out of situations that require speed and only speed, for example, a hairy headquarters situation where enemy forces are converging on your position and you have a long kill streak that you do not wish to break. The default button for sprinting is 'LS' (depress the stick).
When firing at a target be sure to 'strafe'. For those unfamiliar to the term, it is where a person moves left or right without going forwards or backwards. Of course, in Call of Duty 4, you can charge while strafing at the same time. This tactic causes your opponent to constantly change bullet trajectory and subsequently make many bullets to miss you, allowing you to take advantage of this and kill him before you are killed. The default button for strafing is to move left or right with the 'LS' stick.
Call of Duty 4 is not a run-and-gun style game. It is not intended for players who charge into buildings 'rambo'-style and spray their guns aimlessly. It is, however, a game where cover is necessary to survive. If you are hit, take cover or go prone! Regenerate your health and get back up fighting. The red screen graphical effect and the sound of hoarse breathing is to ensure that you, as a player, know that you are close to death and should seek cover immediately.
There is a vast arsenal of weapons at your disposal in Call of Duty 4. Weapons range from single fire M14s to fully automatic RPDs to long range sniper equipment such as the R700. Choose weapons ideal for the match and gametype. For example, it would be foolish to run around with an M21 sniper rifle on Shipment, where close quarter combat is everything. It would also be foolish to travel alone in a very large map with a shotgun, a weapon only ideal for close quarters combat. Choose wisely according to map and gametype and you will master every weapon available.
The vast majority of multiplayer weapons must be unlocked by reaching the prescribed rank. A couple of weapons are included at the rank Private to start you off, after all, what would be a First Person Shooter without weapons?
For information on unlockables and experience, please view Clipse's thread, located here.
The AK-47 is the most frequently used enemy weapon of the game; however, its open iron sights make it inferior in range and accuracy to the M16A4 and M4 Carbine. However, it is also more powerful and can be used at long range because it has power close to the M14. The AK-47 is effective at medium to close range. The AK-47 is also not very well suited for long ranged fights, as even when aiming down the sights, there is significant recoil. It is one of six weapons that can be customised with a golden paint scheme.
In the game, the AK-74u is incorrectly considered a submachine gun.
In multiplayer it can be customized with a Red Dot sight, silencer and ACOG sight. The weapon's damage is high for a weapon counted as a submachine gun. The AK-74u is one of the best weapons in multiplayer. If combined with stopping power, it can can take out most enemies in very few bullets. While a popular weapon among more veteran players, if it often overlooked by newer player because they tend to think the P90 is the best submachine gun in its class. A good shot can dispatch 3 or 4 enemies with 1 clip.
Barrett .50 Caliber Sniper Rifle
The Barrett .50 Cal sniper is unlockable in multiplayer at level 49. Like all sniper rifles, it can be outfitted with an ACOG scope. The .50 Cal cannot accept a suppressor or a recoil reducer in-game. It is one of the most powerful sniper rifle in Call of Duty 4, and favored by many players for its sheer power and ability to make quick work of any enemies. However the sound made upon firing is distinctive and in multiplayer will give away the user's position.
The Dragunov is unlocked at Master Gunnery Sargent (lvl 22). Like all sniper rifles, it can be customised with an ACOG scope. This weapon is very similar to the M21, just with increased damage and it can kill in one shot with stopping power equipped. However, it also suffers from much higher recoil making it difficult to hit the target a second time if, as often occurs, the first shot fails to bring him down. It is also one of the six weapons that can have a golden colour scheme.
All players affected by flashbangs will see a single frame for approximately five seconds until it fades and normal sight returns. This special grenade is very useful for safely entering heavily defended areas, such as headquarters. The Special Grenade x3 perk allows the player to carry three flashbangs.
Fragmentation Grenade
The fragmentation grenade or, more commonly, the 'frag' is the basic grenade in Call of Duty 4. When thrown, the user has approximately 4 seconds to release it before it explodes in the player's hands. The grenade, when exploded, releases a large amount of shrapnel in every way. Frag grenades will kill unless the player sprints out of the Grenade icon. A very popular tactic is to 'cock' a grenade, ie; holding the grenade for 2 or 3 seconds then throwing it, ensuring that the enemy has no chance to throw it back.
In multiplayer, the G3 is a single shot rifle. Its high power combined with its accuracy make it an excellent sniping weapon. It can be customized with a grenade launcher, silencer, red dot sight, and ACOG scope. It is seen as a step down from the M14, but many prefer its lesser recoil.
In multiplayer, the G36c is obtained when a player reaches rank 37. It can be customised as standard like all assault rifles with the grenade launcher, red dot sight, suppressor, and ACOG scope.
In multiplayer the magazine holds 4 shells, which are loaded individually. Damage appears to be slightly less than that of the W1200, but the rate of fire is far greater. The M1014 is an extremely short-range weapon, and should be supplemented by an assault or sniper rifle from a fallen soldier as soon as possible when playing multiplayer. The M1014 can be customised with a red dot site or a grip. It is one of six weapons that can be customised with a gold paint scheme.
The M14 is one of the two single fire assault rifles (the other being the G3). Attachments include the ACOG scope, the grenade launcher, red dot sight and a silencer. The M14 is a true 'love it or hate it' weapon, loved by many players, because it can drop a person in two hits to the body. It makes a excellent mid-range rifle, or sniper weapon, although it suffers from high recoil at long range.
It's highly powerful and quite accurate, which is only further enhanced by its three round burst firing mode. This rifle can be fitted with a silencer, red dot sight, ACOG scope, and grenade launcher. The weapon is designed primarily for medium to long range engagements, and can usually if not always drop enemies in a single three round burst if the Stopping Power perk is equipped. It is often called 'nooby' or 'cheap' by other online players because of this.

The M21 can be unlocked in Call of Duty 4 multiplayer at level 7. It is the second sniper rifle obtainable. The M21 is useful in many situations,as it has very low recoil and is. What it lacks in its damage, its higher capacity magazine and increased rate of fire make up for. It is the only sniper rifle that cannot kill in one shot with stopping power perk enabled and because it is semi automatic it is highly inaccurate when not holding breath. As with all sniper rifles, it can be customised with an ACOG scope.
In the game, the M249 SAW is one of the first available weapons when starting. It has a very high rate of fire which, when doubled with stopping power, can bring down enemies with a quick burst. It is one of the most commonly used weapons in the game.
M4 Carbine
The M4 Carbine is one of the starting weapons in the game. It is known commonly as a 'cousin' to the M16A4, because of its similar look, power and effectiveness. There is, however, one major difference. The Carbine is a fully automatic rifle, perfect for those who enjoy depressing the trigger for elongated periods of time.
In Call of Duty 4 multiplayer, the M40A3 is a commonly accepted by veteran snipers to be the best sniper because it has the best accuracy and its lower recoil than other bolt-action sniper rifles. With stopping power perk it can kill with one shot.
The M60 is unlocked at Gunnery Sergeant (lvl. 19). Attachments include the red dot sight the grip and the ACOG scope. The M60 is the strongest machine gun in Call of Duty 4 multiplayer, having the best accuracy and power, but with a large recoil. It, along side an RPG, have enough firepower to kill an enemy helicopter in multiplayer. It is often combined with the perks Double Tap to increase its fire rate and Deep impact to increase the bullet penetration especially over long distances, making it more devastating. This weapon can be customised with gold colour scheme.
Like all Light Machine Guns, it has a large magazine capacity of 100 rounds. But it also suffers from a slow reload time.
The MP5 is the only SMG available at level 1. However, many players of level 39 or lower use this weapon for its amazing accuracy. At level 40, SMG users generally switch to the P90. The MP5 can be equipped with a red-dot sight, silencer and ACOG scope. Most seasoned players consider this the best weapon for Search and Destroy, equipped with the silencer.
The accuracy of the MP-44 is higher than that of a submachine gun so that it could shoot targets at a much longer range than an average SMG can. The MP-44's rate of fire is quite high, allowing the gun to be used in close-quarter combat. The MP-44 also has a strong power so it is a dependable gun for any battle.
In multiplayer, the Mini UZI is an unlockable weapon that can be upgraded with a red dot sight, silencer and ACOG scope. The Mini-Uzi is one of the weapons that can be customised with golden coloured paint.
In Multiplayer, the P90 is unlocked at Colonel (Lvl 40). It is customizable with a red dot sight, ACOG scope and silencer. This is by far the most popular weapon, used by almost every single player who has unlocked it. It also boasts a tremendous 50 round magazine, although its high rate of fire will eat through ammo surprisingly fast. Many consider the P90 to be somewhat overpowered, a similar view to the M16A4.
In multiplayer, the RPD can be upgraded with a red dot sight, an ACOG scope and a grip. It is primarily used for medium to long distances and is particularly liked for its magazine's high capacity. It is also a weapon available at level 1.
the RPG is the 'rocket-launcher'. In Multiplayer, it can be used as a Perk 1, which will allow the player to spawn with 2 rockets. However, this perk cannot be accessed if a player's primary weapon has a grenade launcher or grip attachment.
The R700 is much like the M40A3, except it only holds four rounds, has increased damage, and has greater recoil. The R700's sway is set higher then all the other snipers, meaning that it will move more if breath isn't held.
The Skorpion is always your starting weapon when playing the Old School portion of multiplayer. Unless at very close range or achieving a head shot, the weapon is considered weak since an entire clip will not be enough to kill an opponent. Apart from Old School gameplay, the weapon can be devastating with appropriate perks and attachments such as stopping power and red dot sight.
Smoke Grenade
The smoke grenade is perfect for obscuring an enemies view of a particular target. It is primarily used on a headquarters, Sabotage bomb or Search and Destroy bomb.
Stun Grenade
Stun grenades are used in multiplayer to temporarily disorient and enemy player. Players stunned by the grenade will be experience a few seconds of slow movement and a white screen. Players are easily killed while in a 'stunned' state.

Ambush is set around a convoy of broken-down vehicle and hosts a wide variety of elevated spots, enabling you to hold your breath and take aim. Both spawn points provide ample sniping locations which overlook the middle of the map, along with the opposing sniper positions. The sewer tunnels are an area of the map which are most largely overlooked. This is a small area, but one that has saved lives on more than one occasion. All types of classes are effective here. Desert camouflage works best.
A Mid-Sized map that is good for almost all game modes. Beware, people enjoy the thrill and rush of the MK 92 mounted machine guns, several good spots were the guns cannot reach or are far off can knock the gunner to the grave. The top of the middle building is great for snipers or heavey gunners. But do not dwell on the second floor for long, because if you do, you are easy prey for the machine guns, both of which can hit the whole second floor. If you need the challange to survive the whole game, a good chance to get it is to go in the basement of the construction building, it is a very overlooked area. All types of classes are effective here. Desert camoflage works best.
Large map with great sniper locations. Avoid being caught in the middle because you are sitting duck for even the mediocre sniper. To assault your chosen building, attack from the side entrances. Back pool area and far garden provide excellent cover if you are so lucky for a headquarters to spawn there. Use night vision when entering the left building, dark places are a camper's haven where they lie in wait for anyone careless enough to rush in for a simple enough backstab. The most effective classes are sniper and stealth classes.
Broadcast is a map from the Variety Map Pack. A large sized map that is seen in the level "Charlie Don't Surf". It seems to take place before the fighting because the area is less destroyed. The parking lot outside is filled with cars and a roof over the middle of it. A small building is located on the edge of the parking lot where snipers can pick off soldiers on the second floor of the TV station. From IGN's impressions, the best game modes are Search and Destroy and Team Deathmatch. Some places are switched around as the news room is downstairs instead of upstairs, and the windowed rooms are inaccessible. A skylight is above where the bomb area B spawns. It is well liked by most players and is the most popular map in the map pack.
Chinatown is a remake of the popular Call of Duty 1 and 2 multi player map Carentan for the Variety Map Pack. Its layout is exactly the same as the original. This map's theme revolves around fighting in a heavily Chinese themed area. Almost every building in the map is open and able to be occupied. The grenade is perfect for a mix of mid-range and close quarters combat. Many players who prefer sniping will be utterly disappointed, as there are few hiding spots and most combat will take place where a sniper rifle's advantage is diminished. It is good for almost any game mode.
Creek is a map from the 1.6 PC version and the Variety Map Pack and is the largest map in the game. It is great for players who enjoy long range combat, but it won't be popular with players who enjoy getting in close. The map is divided by a ravine with small houses on each side. A waterfall is on one side with tunnels along the ravine wall. The hills leading to the ravine are lined with sandbags to protect players from the constant fire from long range weapons.
The design of the map features missile silos, small hangers (2 on each side of the map, rather close to each other.), blast shields that offer some cover, and tank trucks to climb. Intense battles usually occur on this map, this is evident on gametypes such as headquarters, sabotage and domination. Most effective classes are Sniper, LMG, and assault classes. Digital camouflage is often preferred.
Crash is a decent sized level with many two-level buildings and 1 three-level building that is perfect for snipers. Most of the crossfire takes place over a downed helicopter near the center of the map. Most effective classes are Assault and Sniper classes. Desert camouflage is often prefered.
Crossfire is one of the largest levels with perhaps the most buildings and places to hide. It is a favorite of snipers and campers alike. Most of the combat is between the two 2-story buildings at each end of the long street in intense sniper battles. Another majority of fighting occurs inside the small interior buildings that line the main street. Desert camouflage is often preferred.
District is a very urban level. People who enjoy exploding cars will find whole streets full of them. Long range combat can be found on the long, intersecting streets, and close range combat can be found near the center marketplace. Desert camouflage is often preferred.
Downpour is a level with low visibility due to the unceasing rain. There are two Machine gun turrets on the level, although it is said that one has a much better position and view than the other. Helicopters are often destroyed easily due to one side nearly always having a MG. Woodland camouflage is often preferred.
Killhouse is a very small map from the Variety Map Pack and it is inspired by the tutorial level "F.N.G.", it is symmetrical map with a looking post in the middle. The buildings are wooden and the walls are concrete. It will sure be home to some very fierce battles as the map is not a lot larger than Shipment. The games will be fast and deadly so if you can't master close quarters combat, you will be frustrated about how fast you are dying and will most likely lose in this map. Don't be fooled by the cameras, they are not mounted guns as some players believed when they first saw them. It is the least played of the maps because
Overgrown takes place in a large Russian field. It is very open and perfect for snipers, who can often see across the level. Gillie suits easily conceal a sniper in the lush vegetation. There are two machine guns on the level. Woodland sniper camouflage works best.
Pipeline is a large multiplayer map in Call of Duty 4. It's main design centers around two side-to-side warehouses out in the middle of Russia (or somewhere exotic) and the immediate areas around it. The map features a good variety of sniper positions throughout the level. Including on top of the roofs of the two main warehouses, and the green hill they both face. The level also has a rather elaborate network of tunnels beneath it. These tunnels can provide undetected movement from one location to another, as they mostly go unused by many players. But sometimes other players may decide to use them, so don't let your guard down completely.
Shipment is a small map ideal for quick and short games. Domination and Headquarters are great for this map. When playing this map most players will arm themselves with shotguns and SMGs.
Showdown is a small, desert bazaar type map. It's circular design is perfect for flanking the enemy. Despite it's size, short range weapons often have a disadvantage on this map. Desert camouflage works best.
This is a large map with a few key positions on it. There are long lines of view, and most fighting occurs building-to-building across the streets. People tend to enjoy this map most with team deathmatch or headquarters settings. Desert camouflage is often preferred.
Vacant is a small map that is based in an abandoned office. Shotguns and SMG's are a must. The level appears to be half indoors and half outdoors, although almost all combat occurs indoors. Helicopters and airstrikes are nearly pointless on this level considering most of the map is indoors. Woodland or Digital camouflage is often preferred.
Wet Work
Wet Work is a medium sized map with nearly identical sides. Frag grenades work especially well. Helicopters and airstrikes are dreaded because of little cover and the linear shape of the playing field. Blue Tiger and Digital camouflage are often preferred.

Category 1 Perks:
Category 2 Perks:
Category 3 Perks:
There are three modifiers a player can attain throughout playing multiplayer: UAV, Airstrike, and Helicopter Support.
Once earned, these this air support can be used instantly, or reserved for use later in the game-even after the player that earned them dies. But say you get an Airstrike, and don't use it, die, then get 3 kills, you will lose it, and get the UAV.

Really nice guide, i enjoyed reading it. One suggestions from my side as a long-term player. Maybe give some more insights in Weapon/Perk Combinations for various situations. What is fun to play, what needs more skill, and so on... I think it would be quite nice to read some of this as well even for the more expierenced players.

I agree with the above post. Nice work, but you should have gave some more information on weapons and what perks and attachments you should use there.

That's why I love this website; it has most of the weapons talked about with preferred perks and attachments when using them. While I don't necessarily agree with everything being said it should come in handy for those just beginning or don't know what to use.

Good guide really put some effort in to it well done. But this will only help people that are way behind and have only just got the game most of the players already know all of this. Dont get me wrong really good posts but its nothing i dont already know. Should of been created when people were still getting to grips with the game. Kind of a waste of a good effort

A very nice, well written guide. I assume you will write about the different gametypes later .
A suggestion from me would be that you change the order of the weapons so that they are in Assault, SMG etc...
Good guide. How long did it take you to make this? It looks well planned so I am guessing a few days.

Awesome guide, you should put all the different types of games you can play on CoD4 though.
ll Halo 3 semi PRO ll
I take it you are one of those 'elite' CoD4 players. But you have to take into account how many people have just started CoD4 or are new to it.

great guide!! for new players. also i thought i might shoot out a pointer. You only mention as far as i saw, 3 guns that can be painted with gold. That is from what i saw so i may be mistaken. But for new players you might want to add the other 3 weapons that can have gold.

Ah thanks.
Very good Multi player guide. One of the best ones i seen in a while. A lot of detail went into this guide. Perfect for the beginner player or the veteran that just need the little push to get better.

You can choose to use it later tactically, eg: when a headquarters is out in the open and the enemy team is capturing it. This will guarantee some kills.

"Heavy Gunner" Build incl. Playstyle Suggestions
I thought that i post maybe one or two of my setups to explain what i mean by setups and how to use them. Please be aware that these are just suggestions and i am not telling anyone what to do or what it the best in my opinion. This are personal opinions. If you do not like them, fair enough.
Be aware that with this setup and some skill you will be a bullet magnet. People with shotguns will hunt you down and Sniper will be on the lookout for you.
"Heavy Gunner" Build
Weapon: RPD (Grip)
Sidearm: Desert Eagle (or the best pistol you have)
Grenades: Frag, Smoke
Perk 1: - (you can not choose one because of the Grip)
Perk 2: Stopping Power
Perk 3: Deep Impact
Best Gametypes for this build:
Team Deathmatch
Mercenary Team Deathmatch
Ground War
Hardcore Team Deathmatch (only for advanced players)
You will be really good at medium to long range. Every map that gives you the possibility to shot long range should be your kingdom. The Grip will give you an unbelievable ammount of accuracy on long range as long as you know how to use this weapon proberly. Short controlled bursts is the most important fact to remember with this setup.
The recoil is not to strong when you use short controlled bursts. On long range targets do not aim for the head. Instaed aim directly for the chest with a controlled burst of two or three bullets per target. The small recoil over long range has the effect that the second or third bullet is a little bit higher and most of the time result in a headshot.
A lot of people do not properly understand what Deep Impact even does. All weapons have the default ability to shoot through different surfaces like doors, wood or even concrete walls, but with Deep Impact more bullets go through and they are a lot more powerful when they come out on the other side. So i would actually say that Deep Impact is one of the better perks for a heavy gunner especially in combination with Stopping Power and definetly a lot more useful then Steady Aim on long range.
Never run up front. Let the Assault guys do the jobs to clear houses or to run around a corner. Provide cover at long range or penetrate house's from the outside for support. The team will thank you for it that they can advance without the fear that an enemy jumps in there back.
Be sure that you know what you do if you get into fight's with sniper. Most of all Snipers on the XBox 360 Version of the Game are totaly useless. Always be on the move and look for cover that you can use for your advantage. If you see a sniper take the shot as soon as possible to kill him. Most of them are still busy with aiming when they get shot.
If you have bad luck and the sniper knows what he is doing, you are dead. Should you survive or not go into fights with Sniper at all, use your Smoke and advance into another direction or wait for the enemy to do the same. Also the team will thank you for it. Smoke is one of the most underastimated tools in Multiplayer (same with Flash and Stun).
Only reload when you are sure about it that you will survive. 90% of all my death's are a result based on the fact that i decided to reload my weapon at the wrong time. This is the typical reaction that everyone does when coming from an Assault Rifle build. You don't have to reload after each kill. It is possible to have a nice killstreak of ten to fiveten people without having to reload once. Search for cover or make sure that you get covered from some teammembers. Always switch to your Deagle first and then look for cover to reload. Reloading takes a long time with the RPD.
Last but not least one or two more words about how to use your sprint. Only use it if you have to escape a dangerous situation like Grenades or Air Strikes. NEVER use it to advance from one position to the other. You carry a very heavy weapon and can not sprint for long and then you stand in the middle of a grenade field and can not get out anymore.

"Frag Maniac" Fun Build
Weapon: P90 (optional with Red Dot Sight or Silencer)
Sidearm: Desert Eagle
Grenades: Frag, Flash
Perk 1: Frag x 3
Perk 2: Sonic Boom
Perk 3: Extreme Conditioning
ps: This is also a build that shows that Extreme Conditioning is everything but useless.

Wow, can't believe I missed this. Great job on the guide!! Lots of details and the explanations are very thorough, plus the overhead maps really help.

Are you going to add the R700 :P ? Great guide though, very informative!
One thing I think you missed, on Domination if you kill someone who is taking a flag, you get 10pts for a kill and 2 for an assist
Great guide, I like the detail and tips you include with the various weapons/perks. However, I have to disagree with you on some of your "useless" perk designations.
Extreme Conditioning - I don't see this as a useless perk. It is especially useful in search and destroy, enabling you to get to choke points/sniping positions before the opposing team. In larger maps, this can be useful in headquarters/domination gametypes because you can get to the goal faster.
Dead Silence - Definitely NOT useless! I love this perk and include it in my ninja kit and my s&d kit. If you don't have dead silence, anyone w/surround sound can follow your movement by pure sound. I've won numerous s&d games because I was able to wait and hear the opposing player run or jump or disarm etc.
