If you ask us, the road to the perfect pair of bib shorts is a simple one. In fact, the criteria is relatively simple -- a slight compressive support, a precise fit, breathability, and a comfortable chamois. However, the simplicity of theory all-too-commonly folds under the pressures of a complex reality. But, we've found that Louis Garneau has never run into this problematic wall, and its Equipe Bib Shorts are the proof.
Starting with the basic construction, Garneau made the Equipe bib shorts from a well-positioned blend of Lycra Power, Lycra Pro, and Power Mesh. For compressive support, Lycra Power has been placed at various points on the legs of the shorts. Basically, this fabric features more Lycra fibers per ounce/square yard than typical Lycra compositions. So, the material experiences an elastic hold on your muscle groups, supporting and shielding them from the bulk of oscillation and road vibration. This results in a decrease in overall muscle fatigue, while also, according Garneau, a 10 to 20% improvement in blood circulation.
And when the aforementioned is paired with the Lycra Pro material, the shorts experience a heightened level of recovering stretch. So, your freedom of movement is ensured. Further ensuring this characteristic, Garneau designed the shorts with a seamless inner-leg and a ten-panel construction. This not only leads to an increase in flexibility, but, more obviously, it lends itself to eliminating abrasion. Garneau even took this concept a step further by only using flatlock stitching throughout the shorts and uppers. However, all the while, both fabrics possess an extraordinary ability to manage moisture. This means that riding with damp legs after 40k is now a thing of the past.
Securing the Equipe's precise fit took a few steps. First, was the compressive fit. Secondly, Garneau included its Powerbands at the leg cuffs. These provide a strong, no-slip hold on the legs, but they also reduce pressure on the lower legs in order to avoid inhibiting a proper circulation. Next, Garneau constructed the bib straps from Power Mesh, while adding a stretch trim to ensure flexibility. These straps not only hold the position of the shorts, but with their moisture wicking composition, they also aid in pulling perspiration away from the back and torso.
Lastly, Garneau further ensured your comfort by incorporating its Airgel chamois. This insert places in emphasis on comforting support, breathability, and moisture management. To achieve this, the portions of support density are comprised of perforated gel inserts. This allows the chamois to adapt to pressure without sacrificing its supportive qualities. Additionally, the perforation increases the gel's breathability, preventing buildups of heat, and accordingly, eliminating hot spots. To further support this, Garneau layered the insert with Crabyon fabric. Antibacterial, allergy-tested, and biodegradable, Crabyon has long been used in the medicinal practices. Why? It accelerates the wound healing process, while also demonstrating a resistance to abrasion and chafing.
The Louis Garneau Equipe Bib Shorts are available in six sizes from X-Small to XX-Large and in the colors Black, Black/ginger/white, Black/twilight blue/white, and Black/fluo orange/white.

My family and I stayed for a long weekend. the location was definitely the best part. Far enough off the main drag that it provided quiet, but close enough to walk to a few different subway stations, the airport shuttle, and hop-on, hop-off tour bust stop.

McCaffery: Silent fans speak volumes about Reid's Eagles legacy (With Video)
PHILADELPHIA — A little short of its goal, after a draining of timeouts, with a penalty and ultimately with fan apathy.
Such was the way Andy Reid's final Linc game ended Sunday.
With the next great NFC East quarterback winning, with the Eagles dropping deeper into last place, with a blast of turnovers and other mistakes.
Such was the way Andy Reid's final Linc game ended Sunday.
The Eagles no better for his efforts, more than half of the fans already gone, with a mismanaged clock. Such was the way Andy Reid's Linc career ended Sunday.
With a 27-20 loss to the Washington Redskins. Such was the way Andy Reid's final Linc game ended Sunday.
With arrogance.
See above.
"Are you asking me the question?" Reid said, when asked about fan speculation that he will be fired after the Eagles' final regular-season game, next week against the Giants at the Meadowlands. Assured that was the case, Reid replied, "I don't know that. I have nothing to tell you on that. I am the coach right now. And I am just coaching — the best I possibly can." Continued...
The reaction was mutual. For after his 242nd game, with his owner having all but promised a coaching change with anything shy of a nine-win season, whatever remained of the originally assembled 69,144 essentially let Reid walk out of the stadium to exactly what he deserved: Silence.
Were there some boos? Yes. Was there a supportive "Andy Reid, Andy Reid" chant near the tunnel to the locker room? Yes, apparently. But neither demonstration was overwhelming when the refs ran the final second off the clock as punishment for the Birds having attempted an illegal forward pass. There was no rollout from Sign Man. Nothing, fortunately, was heaved onto the field. There wasn't a sing-song "Goodbye, Andy" taunt. There wasn't a "Thank you, Andy," chant. There was no honking of horns … nor of noses choked with melancholy.
No, after 14 years, Andy Reid was treated as if he had never been there at all.
"I wasn't thinking about that," Brent Celek said. "When you are on the football field, you don't think about anything else outside of the stadium. You are thinking about what you have to do to beat that man across from you. That's it. I don't get into all that other stuff."
Technically, Reid was not fired. So he still has work to do, and, darn it, he has to do a better job in Week 17. But he won't be back in the Linc again, at least not on the home sideline. Yet … he acted like he was the only one in football not to understand that.
"Those are good stories," he said. "But when you are in the process of getting ready for a game, your mind doesn't go there — especially a game like that, where it comes down to the last second. So that's not really where I am at."
The Eagles almost won Sunday, but didn't, stalling at the Washington five. For that late effort, at least, Reid was spared the public humiliation of a fan revolt … and might have even earned a way-to-go or two.
"Listen, we have great fans," he said. "I've always said that we're kind of on the same page. When you stink, they let you know you stink. And when you're doing good, they're going to let you know you're doing good. I got it. I understand. I understand the situation. I appreciate everything."
Reid will return to work Monday to prepare for the Giants. He'll be asked all week about his final Eagles game, but he won't break. Not now.
"I feel like Coach Reid doesn't get too high or get too low," Brandon Graham said. "He's just a man with a straight head. He's a tough guy. I know that. We wouldn't want this to be his last game. So let's go to New York and win, and try to make that his last one." Continued...
It won't matter — not to the owner, and definitely not to the fans, who have spoken … or more to the point, have not.

Goodell says Suh's intent very difficult to judge
DETROIT (AP) — NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell and league officials looked at Ndamukong Suh's latest infamous act on the field from several angles, trying to understand why the Detroit Lions defensive tackle kicked Houston Texans quarterback Matt Schaub in the groin area.
"Intent is something that is very difficult for us to ever try to make a judgment on," Goodell told reporters before speaking at a Lions charity event Tuesday night.
Goodell said he hasn't spoken to Suh about what he did in last Thursday's game, adding that the league's football operations staff is in the process of speaking to him about it. Suh was on his chest after being taken down by an offensive lineman and extended his left foot to hit Schaub below the belt, dropping the QB to his knees doubled over in pain in the first quarter of Houston's 34-31 overtime win.
"They're still going through the process of whether it should be a fine," Goodell said. "They'll probably make that decision in the next couple days."
In a few weeks, Goodell said the NFL's competition committee will meet and might suggest changing a rule for the playoffs that hurt Detroit's chances of beating the Texans last week.
"We may evaluate it as it relates to the postseason," Goodell told reporters.
Officials didn't blow their whistle when two Lions tackled Justin Forsett, allowing him to get up and run for an 81-yard touchdown in the third quarter. Detroit coach Jim Schwartz negated an automatic review by challenging the play.
"It's unfortunate because the officials on the field made an obvious error and it could've been reversed," Goodell told hundreds of fans at Ford Field during a question-and-answer session. "That's what we want to correct."
Goodell was at the 19th annual Detroit Lions Courage House dinner that team officials say has raised $1.8 million for HAVEN, a suburban Detroit facility that tries to prevent and treat victims of domestic violence, sexual assault and child abuse.
Lions running back Jahvid Best was at the event because teammates voted him their Ed Block Courage Award winner, an honor each team in the league gives a player annually for overcoming an injury or adversity. Continued...
Best hasn't played since he was knocked out of a game against the San Francisco 49ers on Oct. 16, 2011, with what he has said was his third concussion.
"For the past year he has endured countless hours of cognitive rehabilitation and therapy with enthusiasm and eagerness without complaint anger or impatience," Lions athletic trainer Dean Kleinschmidt said. "I have never pulled harder for an injured athlete to return to the field of play."
Detroit drafted Best in the first round in 2010 and he accounted for 1,000-plus yards and six touchdowns. Best was limited to six games last season and is hopeful he can make a comeback next year.
He hadn't spoken publicly since the team announced earlier this month that he would stay on the physically unable to perform list for the year.
"They told me I can't play this season, but they didn't shut the door," Best told the crowd. "I'm a glass-half-full kind of guy. If you don't shut the door, there's still a way."
Best said he feels "normal" when he wakes up each day, but understands why he hasn't been cleared to play.
"Especially this year with the way they are about concussions and how sensitive a subject it is right now, they just want to make sure everything is OK," he said. "We're just taking the safest approach."

I want to bring Kask Helmets to the metro area. However they have a minimum order amount to become a dealer. I am putting this out as a feeler to see if there may be a dozen or so people that would like to have the same helmets as Team SKY. I am taking preorders that need to paid up front (discount will be available for initial order) to get the ball rolling. I have seen the helmets in person and they are in fact way cool (literally and aesthetically). They have several models to choose from but the minimum order to become a dealer is about 10 of their top end helmets. So I will have this offer available until I have 15 helmets bought and paid for.

A judge ordered DeKalb County Schools to mediate its case with the international construction company Heery/Mitchell.
DeKalb Superior Court Judge Clarence Seeliger ordered on March 22 that the two parties attend mediation to resolve their dispute, citing concerns for taxpayers; the school board has already paid an estimated $15.5 million in legal fees.
"Mediation has been requested by the judge, so we will go into mediation with the understanding that the taxpayers of DeKalb County need to be made whole," said school spokesman Jeff Dickerson.
Heery also cited concerns for taxpayers and states that they welcome the court's guidance and the opportunity to mediate.
"We believe that too much taxpayer money has already been diverted to pay legal fees instead of funding our children's education," said David Rubinger, a spokesman for Heery International.
The system and Heery were ordered into mediation in 2009 but it was unsuccessful.
Dickerson said that the school system wants to take the matter to trial, and, short of some settlement through mediation that would make the district whole again, they want to present the case to a jury as soon as possible.
"We want a trial by jury, that's what we're asking for and that's what we asked for in court yesterday…the other side has created any number of delays to a trial but we want to present the evidence to a jury, that's how strong the evidence is," Dickerson said.
Heery managed the school SPLOST account from 2002-06. In 2006 the school system terminated the company citing overbilling and questionable work. Heery then sued DeKalb County School System for $400,000 that it said the system still owed them. The school system then countersued for $100 million, alleging fraud and claiming that the company mismanaged projects.
"We're talking about time sheets that were allegedly falsified; we're talking about projects that were changed from one to another…when their budget was exhausted on one project, they would simply switch time to another project which wasn't allowed under their contract," Dickerson said.
Heery denies those claims and contends that the real reason the company was fired was because then Chief Operations Officer Pat Pope wanted to award the contracts to people that she knew and had connections with. Pope is currently awaiting trial for racketeering and corruption charges for allegedly running a criminal enterprise with former superintendent Crawford Lewis and several other school officials.
"Heery International stands by its belief that the DeKalb County School System's accusations are without merit," Rubinger said.
However, Dickerson said that the issues they have with Heery came long before Pope was hired and they believe that when she was hired, she noticed the alleged discrepancies by Heery and took action.
"That's Heery's contention, [that Pope fired them to hire her friends]…but I don't think it's been proven in court. It's an issue that the school system is contesting," Dickerson said.
Both parties are required to find a mediator by April 4 and no court date has yet been set for the case.

*** Non-fiction American Civil War book reviews, publishing commentary and news, author interviews, and upcoming title profiles ***
Tuesday, January 18, 2011
If you saw this cover art ...
Maybe I'll give it a try anyway.
4 comments:
A number of West Virginia Civil War books are either privately published or small press with the usual associated production problems. I have David L. Phillips' biography of John McCausland, published by Gauley Mount Press, the cover of which makes this cover look like a Da Vinci. West Virginia does not get much attention from publishers. Mark Neely, in his "Southern Rights", complained about the lack of a single book explaining the origin of the state.
I don't know anything about the author, but I did see his review of another self-published book by another West Virginia author on Amazon called "Another Day in Lincoln's Army: The Civil War Journals of Sgt. John T. Booth", by Marie Mollohan, the cover of which is a bit more choice.- Joel ManuelJanuary 19, 2011
My goodness, that was good for a laugh this morning.

I have to say in my years of collecting Civil War books that is one of the strangest, silliest covers I have ever seen. I guess the smiling man was in the Moccasin Rangers, at least?

Profile: Ash Sooknanan
The knowledge: Ash Sooknanan
If youre struggling to understand what it means to live in a knowledge society, Ash Sooknanan is on hand to help. Drawing on his KM experiences working at the Bank of Montreal and Canadas Workplace Safety and Insurance Board, he is putting the finishing touches to his debut book, Knowledge Shock.
By Sandra Higgison
Knowledge management (KM) is common sense. Academics and KM thought leaders can spend hour upon hour discussing possible definitions or creating complicated equations that measure its value, but at its very core, KM is simply a bunch of activities and tools that help organisations and individuals access, use and make sense of what they know or need to know. Turning common-sense ideas into reality, however, can be less straightforward.
After building one of many large IT systems at Canadas Workplace Safety and Insurance Board (WSIB) in the early 1990s, Ash Sooknanan spent a week putting all his documentation, programme notes, reports, templates and best practices into a Lotus Notes database. To him it made sense to find a way to share things that could be re-used by other developers. As employees across the WSIB cottoned onto the value of sharing, the system grew and became known as the Intellectual Capital KnowledgeBase (ICK).
Although he didnt realise it at the time, this was textbook KM and it caught Sooknanans attention and curiosity. Twelve years later he is taking time off from his KM role at the Bank of Montreal to finish his first book, Knowledge Shock. His curiosity remains strong although many of the questions he seeks to answer have changed.
Despite his familys early aspirations for him to become a minister at his local Presbyterian church in Trinidad, most of Sooknanans 30-year IT career has been spent in Toronto, Canada. Since adopting knowledge management as his field of work he has broadened his focus to take in its role and impact on organisations, society, people and even the global economy, the results of which will soon be available to us all. His book, Knowledge Shock, which will double as a thesis for a Masters degree, began as a case study on KM practice that has expanded to give everyone, not just knowledge managers, the opportunity to see how knowledge affects the world in which we live.
When Sooknanan began work on ICK, many of Canadas large cities were talking about recycling. We had the three Rs, he says. Reduce, re-use and recycle. I started thinking about the green theme and wondered whether we could do something similar with our work in IT and reduce how much time we spent building systems. At the same time, the WSIBs chief information officer (CIO), Valerie Adamo, was asking the team to find ways to leverage its successes. ICK met all these needs and was based around three major components:
- Accelerated solutions knowledgebase (ASK): a repository for all the companys procedures and methods;
- Staff empowerment and enabling knowledgebase (SEEK): for documents such as human resources (HR) department forms and policies;
- Knowledge capital knowledgebase (KNOCK): to help employees find people and resources with specific areas of expertise.
Instead of going after the vice presidents and senior managers, Sooknanan asked who actually got the work done and was pointed towards the branch secretaries and executive assistants. I showed them how they could add their memos and minutes to ICK and explained the benefits. As these documents would be stored electronically centrally anybody who needed them would have access and could search for them with keywords. Once they understood what was in it for them they were more likely to change the way they worked.
As ICK became part of the organisational furniture, demands for information from outside the WSIB began to snowball and he soon had to start turning down invitations to speak. The University of Toronto invited me to talk to its students about our work and entitled the session the next killer portal. At that time I didnt even know what a portal was, he admits. These events gave Sooknanan new perspectives on the opportunities the WSIB could grasp. It was great to be there among these organisations and knowledge-management practitioners, he says. As the WSIB is a public sector organisation we could show what you can achieve without a big budget and by offering recognition as an incentive to share knowledge and contribute.
Knowledge management gained a secure footing at the WSIB with the creation of the KM practice and Sooknanan was keen to see where it could take the organisation. In 2000 the practice received a silver medal in the Government in Technology Distinction Awards and by 2001 it was looking at KM on a wider scale. We wanted to see if we could tie together our IT systems and databases with those from Ontario construction associations and the Ministry of Labour. We all focused on workplace illnesses and injury but often gave differing statistics. I wanted to see if we could use KM on a wider scale.
It was during this time that Sooknanan accepted the role of senior KM consultant at the Bank of Montreal. I had worked at the WSIB for nearly 15 years and enjoyed it all, he says. But I hadnt experienced knowledge management in the private sector and I was given the most wonderful opportunity. In 2001 the bank failed to meet all its performance targets and was looking for ways to improve revenue growth and reduce expenses. It launched Ideanet, an enterprise-wide performance-enhancement programme, to generate ideas from its 33,000 employees around the world.
Sooknanan and his colleagues built a system to enable staff to post their suggestions on a discussion forum. This was pioneering work for the oldest bank in Canada. Ideanet launched in 2002 and during the 18 months it was live it received more than 10,000 ideas from the banks employees around the world. People came up with simple ideas that could help the organisation, such as changing fresh flowers to plastic and asking ATM users whether they want a bank slip rather than providing one automatically, he says. It was great to work on such a collaborative project.
Ideas were passed on to different groups of people depending on whether they related to human resources, IT, finance or to a local or head office. These groups would examine the suggestion, do a cost-benefit analysis and determine the return on investment. It was a huge group effort. At one point we had more than 300 full and part-time people working on the project. Once ideas had been vetted and reported on they were passed up to senior management.
Ideanet was part of a wider programme to examine the organisations processes, to improve its efficiency and effectiveness and contribute to the banks financial plan and profitability. A report produced by the Ideanet Programme Office in October 2002 attributed benefits of CA$94.2m to the initiative. The key lesson Sooknanan takes from this experience is that KM must help solve real business problems if it is to receive the support it requires.
Since Ideanet closed the team has worked on many initiatives, which include examining the effects of Canadas ageing population on the bank and the different ways people pass on their information and knowledge. Another major project was to create a roles-based portal for the organisation. We had three or four areas that employees would visit for particular kinds of information. Now the content they see is tailored specifically to their roles and needs.
Right now, however, all this hands-on work has been put to one side as Sooknanan focuses on completing the first draft of his debut book. Its been a long time coming as he has wanted to live KM in both the public and private sectors before writing about his experiences. Not only that, but from what he says the books remit is more ambitious than most corporate KM titles. I want it to be something that everyone can identify with, not just people who work in technology or knowledge management.
The book starts by defining what knowledge is and gives examples from some of the great philosophers, such as the ancient Greek trio of Plato, Socrates and Aristotle. It looks at the different ways knowledge has been captured over time, from writing on cave walls and papyrus to publishing books and periodicals to text messages and the internet. The University of Berkeley in California did a study in 2003 that said that all recorded information is doubling every 18 months, which explains why we all suffer from information overload. But the book takes it a step further to say that after information overload comes knowledge shock.
Sooknanan says that knowledge shock affects us all as we struggle to balance our lives. Information may be doubling every 18 months, if not sooner, but we still have only 24 hours in a day in which to deal with it. The book explains why organisations as well as individuals should care about knowledge management. One phrase I use repeatedly is that we can use the knowledge we have acquired to survive or die, whether thats to avoid a global disaster, fight disease or save the environment. We can make the choice to use it or not.
Sooknanan tells us that we have to start thinking for ourselves as we learn to live in a global knowledge economy. We let the media decide the news for us and choose people we trust to govern and tell us what is important.
Weve given up much of this freedom because of a lack of time and information overload. So if were told that there are weapons of mass destruction, we believe it. When it turns out to be untrue we get knowledge shock. We must realise that we are also responsible because we put our trust in someone elses care and allow others to determine whats best for us.
The message Ash says he is trying to get across is that if we dont understand who, why and how knowledge is controlled well get left behind. Due to rapid developments in our communications, technology and transportation, we have problems we never faced in the past. Illness can easily spread from one side of the world to the next, Sars in Beijing one day can be at your doorstep in Toronto the next and if an oilfield blows up in Iraq today well be paying more for gas tomorrow. We live in a changed world and we need to learn how to deal with it.
Listening to the enthusiasm with which Sooknanan describes his work, its easy to see why his peers voted him one of the top-six knowledge leaders in 2001. This accolade has stayed with him and has driven much of his work. After completing the knowledge management system at the WSIB I had a short illness, he recalls. I returned to work within three months but it made me question what I would have given back to society should something have happened to me. If somebody finds value in the book and it makes a difference, then Ill have done my part.
Helping companies and individuals grow by managing knowledge is not Sooknanans only skill. As his mother says, he has a green thumb, and his front garden has received awards in the Toronto mayors blooming contests. Even though he didnt become the minister his family wished him to, he does preach sermons of a different kind. Not all are about KM as he also helps teach web skills, and coaches and mentors dozens of people who come to him for advice. As he says, passing on our knowledge, experiences and skills is something we all need to do. Its just common sense. n

She may be the queen of handbags and all things preppy, but it was the interior details that wowed us. Now, these are ideas we can use!
1. Stripes are fresh and fun when applied in a slightly worn fashion to a foyer floor. Double style points for continuing them inside, and up the stairs!
2. Fabulous old non-working fireplace? Fill it with your favorite books, and add warmth and character to an otherwise black hole. Fanatic about font? Stencil stools with interesting idioms and scatter about them your space.
3. Contemplating reupholstering? Nubbly knits are cozy and au courant. (And rainbow buttons are just too cool for words!)

Since our last blog, a lot of exciting news has taken place! Probably the most exciting news just came on April 9th from Canada. Leo, GCH RedSkyes Catch A Fire, won Best of Breed at the Rhodesian Ridgeback Club of Canada National Specialty with a record entry of 100 dogs. We could not be more thrilled and what an accomplishment! Congratulations to our dear friends Nancy Brandewie, Linda Cannon and Debra Driza of RedSkyes who bred their lovely girl Sunni to our boy Chris.
On the local show dog scene, we have other Chris kids making the winners circle! Congratulations to Rae, CH CopperRidge One in a Million, for getting her Grand Champion title and winning 5 Best of Breed titles so far this year! Chris also has two new Champion kids, Leo, CH CopperRidge One Lucky Lion, and Haley, CH CopperRidge One Fell Swoop. Congrats to owners David Reicher (Leo) and Jaimie and Stephen Hovenac (Haley).
Another Chris kid from the Hannah litter, Shani, CopperRidge One Beautiful Sunshine, took winners on two of the days at the recent Phoenix shows and she currently needs just one more point to finish her championship!
Let's not forget our founding father, Coby, and his kids! From the first breeding with Zephyr, CH Kwetu's Zephyr Xprs To Sunsweet, we have another champion – Juji, CH Sunweet Ntombi Juji.
And then from the repeat breeding, we have that litter's first champion - Zoey, CH Sunweet Breath of Zephyr. She went Best of Opp at the TX Combined Specialty and then the next day, went Best of Breed and a Group 3! OUTSTANDING for this ONE YEAR OLD girl! Congrats to breeder Sue Gatto.
Other CopperRidge dogs were very successful at the recent Kachina/Arrowhead Cluster April 7-11. Palmer, CopperRidge the Nineteenth Hole, went Best of Winners on Thursday, Reserve on Friday, Winner's Dog on Saturday and then Best of Winners on Sunday to cinch his championship with three 5 point majors all before his 1st birthday on Monday and ALL FROM THE 9-12 month class! OUTSTANDING!
On Sunday, Sydney, RedSkyes-Maijani CopperRidge Venus, took Winners for her first 4 point major and Keegan, Sunsweet CopperRidge Skywalkers Last Dance, took Reserve Winners – both from the 12-18 month class! Way to go to our little girls!!!!
We also had class winners and placements from some of the new dogs in the ring – Duke, Kilmer, Apollo, and Nala. We are also very excited to see some of our owners showing their dogs and doing well in the ring! So proud of all of them.
Thanks to all of our dog owners who came to the shows and supported us! We are blessed to have such a wonderful extended dog family – thank you!

LANpoint Power X wired/WiFi industrial data collection terminal
TUCSON, Ariz. – April 9, 2012 - Intelligent Instrumentation, the leading U.S. manufacturer of industrial data collection terminals designed for increasing the speed and accuracy for Work-In-Process, Labor tracking and Shop Floor MES/ERP/CPM applications, announces the release of its latest rugged, open architecture terminal: LANpoint Power X.
The LANpoint Power X comes standard with Windows CE 6.0 operating system running on an XScale 624MHz processor and memory that is expandable through an SD card. All terminals come equipped with hard-wired 10/100BaseT Ethernet.
The wireless 802.11b/g WiFi Ethernet option will also add Bluetooth connectivity for wireless add-ons (such as Auto-ID scanners, keyboards, RFID readers, etc.). Terminals also support Auto-ID devices through USB and Serial ports.
The digital I/O option provides eight input channels and eight output channels for access control and automated production counting. The open architecture system makes LANpoint Power X easily programmable, with application development supported via Microsoft Visual Studio.
LANpoint Power X comes with all the industrial features demanded by end-users and IT professionals such as NEMA12 (IP54) drip-proof housing or optional NEMA4 (IP65) spray-down design. All terminals can operate in temperature ranges of -20 to 70° C.
The terminals are also solid-state design with no moving internal media or cooling fans. This is one of the largest points of failure for competitive devices, such as rugged tablets and industrial laptops and computers.

My Points | |
My Games |
Finished my seventh solo game running four investigators. I didn't want to have any hiccups when running the game for picky friends, especially when one is doomed to lose most of the time. This forum has been invaluabe in answering questions or getting me to places where reference materials are. The flowcharts were a BIG help.
I have one question I haven't seen posed yet, and I hope I haven't missed it somewhere. The base fight score of any investigator and/or ally: is it tagged as physical?
Michael McGlen and The Mountain happened upon a monster with physical immunity and all they had were physical damage related items.
Now clearly, MM doesn't have magic fists. Should he have his base fight score at all? Would The Mountain add his +two? Or is it an automatic loss?
It got me to thinking about physical resistance too, I don't halve the base fight score on an investigator, just the items, right? How about an ally? Would the Mountain only provide +1?
In the end, I let the boys have their base fight score and they lost, IIRC. I did it mainly because MM runs around with one sanity all the time and I felt sorry for him.
OK, checked the rulebook one last time before posting, and in italics it calls out WEAPONS and SPELLS, not the base fight score. So I guess I did it right. Thoughts? It seems weird, but I'll take it in a game that I've only won one time out of seven (which seems about right). Do expansions change this? I like the investigators having a fighting chance.
Noob to Arkham Horror.

Bare hands are not subject to physical immunity/resistance. You did right :)
Yeah, with your bare hands you can do some incredible things in Arkham. Not to mention that the Martial Arts skill grants you a bonus you can use against the Colour out of Space (this list can be rather long ::laughter::)

Hello CrusherJoe,
Your interpretation of the rules is correct. Investigators always are allowed to use their base fight score along with any modifiers (to their fight score) when fighting against physical/magic resistance/immunity. The resistance and immunities basically limit the types of weapons and spells you are allowed to use. This is why allies such as Tom Murphy are so amazing! Also, I think you're doing a great service to yourself and your friends by playing the game through a few times before you introduce it to your friends. It's great that you're getting all of your questions answered first so that you have a clear understanding of the rules before throwing them into the fire.
To answer your question of difficulty:
If you are still finding the base game challenging, there is no need to add any expansions (unless you're a glutton for punishment). As you continue to play through the game, you will (eventually) find a strategy that works and you'll win many more times than 1 out of 7. Once you find yourself winning more games than you loose (and you will, eventually), then it's time to add an expansion or two. I personally limit myself to 1-2 expansions per game because I feel you have the opportunity to experience the flavor of each expansion that way. You also don't have to deal with a whole mess of rules that have odd interactions when you throw all the expansions into one pile and try to play a game (although this can be fun too).
I'm also not sure if you already know this but the base game gets significantly easier, if you can get a few gates 2-3 sealed in certain locations early on (first 4-5 turns). Floating around on the internet somewhere is a list of the probability of gates opening with certain mythos cards. If you're faced with a choice as to which gate to close, always follow this priority and you'll find that the ancient one will be opening gates on sealed locations far more often. Also if you grab clue tokens from these locations first you eliminate the possibility of a gate opening on a pile of clues and 'eating' them. This will allow you to collect more clue tokens over the course of the game (which means more seals).
Seal Priority & Clue Token Priority:
1st: Woods, Independence Square, Unvisited Isle, Witch House
2nd: Black Cave, Graveyard, Unnamable
3rd: Silver Twilight Lodge, Historical Society, Hibb's Roadhouse, Science Building
Of course, there are always exceptions to this set of priorities but if you follow this as a general guideline I think you will find a lot of success. You also could already be doing this and just didn't mention it.
Feel free to ask any other questions and I hope this helps!

Magic is a strange thing. Especially strange in Arkham. =)
My preferred explanation is that living tissue has an effect on these beings which unliving materials like wood and metal don't. So that fact that your hands are part of your living body gets you around their resistances.
Since you mention martial arts, another possible explanation is "chi" (or whatever you want to call it.) Martial Arts mythology is full of people who can do incredible things by focusing their life essence in quasi-magical ways. Perhaps everyone can direct this force to a small extent (so punching a demon with your hand still has some small effect where a bullet would not.) Martial artists just have significantly greater control.
MP3 killed the radio star
The way I understand the Fight stat is just that it can be used for all sorts of (intentionally vague) things, for example, dodging whatever objects a ghost is throwing at you to interrupt its exorcism, whereas the +4 from a .45 Automatic can pretty much only be used for shooting. (A shotgun, on the other hand… )

(A shotgun, on the other hand… )
Well, a single bullet may not be able to damage a Formless Spawn, but a spray of bullets is enough to rip chunks of the jelly off the creature's body! And I don't care what dimension you're from… if your body has been separated into pieces… you're dead.
"Ashcan" Pete will take that off your hands when you're done with it.
Charlie Kane would befriend a strangled cat if given the chance.
Finn Edwards has very deep pockets.
Hank Samson does not care that you've mastered time travel.
Lily Chen can punch a hue.
Lola Hayes is the world's best Egyptologist.
Mark Harrigan is very good at hedge mazes.
Michael McGlen has never experienced an earthquake.
Minh Thi Phan makes group hugs empowering.
Patrice Hathaway plays songs you can't get out of your head.
Tommy Muldoon is most qualified to be deputy, yet for some reason nobody want him to be.
Tony Morgan sells meat out of the back of his van.
Ursula Downs can shop at an empty store.
Wendy Adams always wins at hide and seek.
William Yorick has a Bachelor's in Cryptozoology—no wonder he can't find work.
Wilson Richards will paint over anything for a dollar.
Zoey Samaras can torch a fire vampire.
Thank you for your responses. Despite the complexity of the rules, it's nice to know that sometimes going with your gut yields the right result.
I'm looking forward to reinstituting game night in my life, and getting a group who will enjoy AH. I have no worries about it getting too easy for us, and my first expansion will probably be DH.
Noob to Arkham Horror.
Fight represents you general aggression. You might not be able to punch that formless spawn, but you could trap it quick-drying cement. Your bullets might go through that Ghost, but destorying the funeral urn in which its ashes are contained might return it to the grave.
Lovecraft Country Horror: A COMPLETELY FREE "big box" expansion for Arkham Horror, exploring the minor locales of Lovecraft's fiction, including a new board, 16 Investigators plus their corresponding Personal Stories, 4 Ancient Ones plus their corresponding Sinister Plots, 10 Generic Plots, 16 Skills, 32 Common Items, 24 Unique Items, 10 Spells, 10 Cults, Guardians, Heralds & Institutions, 16 Music of Erich Zann cards, 76 Leads, 4 Allies, 32 Monsters, a selection of Miscellaneous Cards, 24 New Injuries / Madnesses, 84 Tokens, 54 Mythos Cards, 41 Outer World Encounters & 52 Location Encounters
My preferred explanation for base Fight bypassing Physical Resistance and Immunity is that, during what research on the Mythos the investigators conducted before the game, they happened upon a basic offensive spell which is channelled through the body and thus can be made more powerful if the body is able to endure more strain (Fight here being taken to represent strength, as is often the case in-game). This spell can also be used to add to the power of other combat spells or used at the same time as normal weapons. It's not all that strong, however, so using it alone is no more effective than using your bare hands, and, though it doesn't actually take any hands to use, it still requires a certain amount of concentration and prevents you from putting your all into your physical attacks (thus, you cannot both use the spell and enhance your physical attacks with your Fight as normal). A similar explanation can account for the use of Fight to close Gates.
What remains, it would seem, has no artistic significance.

Sealants are substance used to seal a surface to prevent passage of a liquid or gas. Desirable properties of sealants include insolubility, corrosion resistance, and adhesion. Sealants are used in many industries such as construction, automotive and aerospace industries.
Sealant for Gasketing
Gasketing is a sealant between two flanges assembled with screws. The sealant completely fills the space between the flange surfaces, thereby preventing the escape of gaseous or fluid materials in composite machine parts or pipe connections.
The sealant for gasketing can be used with many different types of materials including various metals, wood, plastic, rubber, ceramics, glass, and even concrete. The type of sealant selected for a specific application depends on the material to be sealed, environmental conditions, temperature, and operating pressures in the system.
> Learn more about sealant for gasketing
Loctite Thread Sealants
Thread sealants prevent leakage of gases and liquids from pipe joints. All such joints are considered to be dynamic due to vibration, changing pressures or changing temperatures. Loctite anaerobic sealants cure to insoluble tough plastic thread fillers which prevent leakage regardless of the torque applied.
> Learn more about thread sealing
Threadlockers are single component anaerobic which completely fill the microscopic gaps between interfacing threads. They polymerize to a tough solid when they come into contact with metal in the absence of air.
Loctite threadlocker is a reliable way to prevent the release or loosening of thread joints due to mechanical vibrations or environmental factors such as corrosion and temperature fluctuations. Loctite threadlocker is suitable for a range of applications.
