Cathy, I have mine growing in a wire basket lined with sphagnum moss and
filled with bark/peat/soil mix. It acts much like a Staghorn fern and will
eventually cover the wire basket totally with growth. I used to grow it in a pot
until an orchid friend told me about the basket. It's much nicer and lets the
plant show it's true beauty.....in my opinion.

Buttock Improvement
First of all I would tell you that you have nothing to be ashamed of as you have a great butt compared to the majority of women that come in for augmentation evaluation. The Brazilian Butt Lift would be a great option for you as it allows your surgeon to improve the overall shape of your buttock.
Brazilian butt lift (fat transfer to the buttock) is so popular because it enables your plastic surgeon to transform your entire shape. Liposuction is performed over several areas depending on the individual patient needs, but typically of the flanks, abdomen, back and thighs. This is an amazing procedure because it allows your surgeon to tailor your results to your individual needs and desires!
I hope this helps but even if you never did any type of surgery you have nothing to be ashamed of with the shape of your buttock.
I would recommend that you have your surgery done by a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon.

I'm sorry to hear of your problem. The rolls can be improved with liposuction which will at the same time improve the appearence of your buttocks. I would suggest against reinjecting the fat into the buttocks since it will make it look abnormally large.

Located just a few miles off the shores of the Ohio River, Monaca is one of those postcard towns that can't be painted. To see it for yourself is the only way to fully understand its charm. That's Robert Foster.
As Central Valley athletic director Sam Cercone put it, "Robert is that quiet kid who is oblivious about how special he is. He knows he's got talent, but doesn't know how big a deal he really is."
But when the Warriors wide receiver picked up his jersey on Wednesday as part of the American Family Insurance Selection Tour for the 2013 Under Armour All-America Game, Foster was willing to bend the rules a bit.
Normally, the 6-foot-3, 190-pound Foster is the guy who sits in the background before exploding on the field at game time. But on Wednesday, he let loose just a bit -- well, as loose as the down-to-earth Foster can.
"Media doesn't mean a lot to me," Foster said. "But I have to thank all my teammates and teachers that have supported me throughout this whole thing. I couldn't do half the things I do on the field without them.
"I'm blessed for the opportunity and I feel honored to have that opportunity. This is definitely something for my team, too. It's not 11 versus one, it's 11 versus 11. You have to look out for your teammates and your coaches as well."
True to form, Foster didn't want a pep assembly or hoopla for his jersey presentation, instead opting to accept in front of his teammates and family.
"It's refreshing," coach Mark Lyons said of the No. 2-ranked receiver in the nation. "He doesn't want any of the attention. He's embarrassed more than anything. He wants to be just a normal kid. He relishes that. When he brings attention, he shies away from it, but he understands it comes with the territory."
Especially after his sophomore year in which he led Central Valley to the WPIAL Class AAA championship in a 24-7 win over Montour (McKees Rocks, Pa.). The unpretentious sophomore came into his own in that game with a punt return for a score, and adding a touchdown catch. It earned him player of the game status and catapulted him into the public eye.
That career will end Jan. 4, 2013, at the Under Armour All-America Game in a 5 p.m. ET contest televised on ESPN.
After that it's on to college at Pittsburgh, Alabama, Ohio State, Michigan, Michigan State, Oregon or Southern California.
That decision will come soon enough. Right now Foster is just enjoying his time with the Warriors and trying to build on a junior year that saw him make 37 catches for 584 yards and score 12 touchdowns.
"Truthfully, the commitment part is something where you have to feel comfortable," he said. "Why should I force myself to make a commitment early and then not feel comfortable with the commitment I made?
"The commitment will come with what's inside me. My mother always told me you get that feeling when you know what's right for you. I'm just waiting for that feeling."

Price: $50
Brand: Tantus
Material: silicone
Features: 4″ long handle; extra hard density; body-safe material
Circumference: 5.5″
Diameter: 1.75″
Length: 7″
Looking at those numbers, the Anaconda doesn't seem to be deserving of its description in the Tantus store:
The Tantus Anaconda is full of girth, muscle, and made for strong, powerful thrusting.
Sure, it's a little thicker and the girth can be difficult for some, but it's hardly the full-bodied snake the name invokes. Until you hold it in your hands. I was mildly horrified when I lifted the bag it came in. This toy, while not being nearly as weighty as glass, has some serious heft to it for silicone. It's also hard. As in, "I couldn't bend the shaft in half" hard. As in, "dual wield this with the Magic Wand to abuse Castle Doctrine". There is little flex to the toy, there's absolutely no give or squish. If I really put some elbow grease in, I can bend the shaft by about 20 degrees in any direction. This hardness is due to the handle; the toy would have to be hard enough for the handle to undergo some serious thrusting action.
The toy has this matte rubber texture, like the rubber used on hand grips. The head, however, is very shiny. The Anaconda has a mostly realistic shape, with a slight bulge to the head, which has a few layers of skin folds at the base of the ridge, as well as a muscular ridge running down the underside. There are a few slightly pronounced veins on the shaft that can't really be felt, but add to the look.
Now, about this handle thing… The shaft tapers neatly into the first of the handle's grippy waves, which make keeping a solid hold of it easy and comfortable, even with lube and extraneous fluids working against you. The dildo can bend at the thinner handle quite a bit, to accommodate different thrusting angles without extraneous internal bruising. The dick-on-a-stick idea is also excellent if you have a disability or mobility issue, or even difficulty gripping small things, like the small disc at the end of many dildos.
I also received the Limited Edition Peacock Blue colour and, wowza, it's pretty. It's this pearly, glittery teal that is absolutely gorgeous. It also comes in the Tantus strawberry (a pearly pink), standard black, and a blue-purple twilight. Like always, with Tantus, expect to get it in a clear, 3-pane windowed box unless you order a Grab Bag, Closeout, or Limited Edition item, which come in big resealable silver bags, like astronaut ice cream.
My Thoughts
I have short arms. Like, weirdly short. It was a problem for me to really insert anything into me and it took buying my first sex toy to really experience penetration beyond about an inch. Even shorter dildos, like my all-time bestie Bandit can be a pain sometimes and I end up in awkward positions in an attempt to thrust like the piston on an old iron train, but instead start puffing and running out of steam.
My experience with the Anaconda has made me ask one very important question.
Why are handles not mandatory on all dildos?
I understand that silicone can be expensive or it would ruin the shapes of luxury vibes, but, honestly. A little extra length to hold would be peachy. Not too much, just another few inches.
The Anaconda has 4 inches of waved, grippy handle and is the first in a trio of Tantus handled toys.
There are three main categories toys tend to fall into. There are the thrusters, ones that are best utilized at high speeds with lots of lube. Then, the rockers, typically G-spot or A-spot toys that need to be shifted or rocked against the roof of the pussy. This snake, though, made me discover the third category: the Clencher. Capital C. Crushing. Wringing the life from its poor, dildo soul. Squeezing it like a python constricts its prey… and now the name Anaconda suddenly makes sense.
Um… wow, it's hard. I remember looking at my beloved Bandit, longing for the squish, because it did feel like this Anaconda was a snake, threatening me with its bulbous, concrete head. But this turned out to be the perfect demonstration of the importance of densities in toys. While the Bandit and the Anaconda have almost identical dimensions, the Anaconda stretches me in incredible ways and sits there menacingly while I orgasm around it, while the Bandit pleasantly fills me and in its docile way, lets me fuck myself as hard and deep as I please.
The Anaconda's primary pleasure, for me, comes from its firmness. I can feel it stretch me, no matter how much lube I'm swimming in, or how many orgasms I've had prior. My vagina is unused to such unyielding girths and, as someone who completely adores that feeling, this is a perfect toy for me to use for when I want that inexplicable full sensation. This makes it very hard to move and some serious concentration and control over my pelvic muscles to move it at all. However, when I do, I find it incredibly unpleasurable to thrust with, due to those small, unassuming ridges at the top of the head. Because the material is so hard and the ridges so thin, they feel sharp and almost like they're scraping the roof of my pussy. With lube, my G-spot likes this harder stimulation, but after a few thrusts it feels insanely intense. It's also nice at the peak of orgasm, to drive me further, but the Anaconda is, for me, predominantly a Clencher.
It's a bit strange, but I feel like this toy almost would have done better without the handle. It feels wasted, like this one could've done with a pair of flat, weirdly realistic balls or a small disc base instead. For thrusting action, I probably would have done better off with a Goddess Handle or the Echo Handle, both of which have 1.5″ diameter of the same dense material and smoother textures. If you like textures more than straight shafts or want something that the handle will really come in handy for, the Goddess Handle or Echo Handle might suit you better. But, because of the hardness of this toy, if you get to thrusting speeds, I would be wary of the cervix. With something this hard, accidental bruising is a real possibility, especially without the toy having any cushioning in the head.
I wouldn't exactly say this is "anal safe", due to the little flare at the bottom being very small, but the toy is so hard and inflexible that I don't believe the human body could anally accommodate such a toy for more than a few inches.
Care and Storage
Silicone. Hypoallergenic, non-porous, non-toxic, free of pthalates and latex, it's the best material for sex toys. End of discussion.
Sterilizing can be done easily enough through boiling (3-5mins), rubbing alcohol, or bleaching (10% bleach-water solution for 15mins), but standard cleaning can be done with toy cleaners or antibacterial soap and water. Watch the ridges in the head, as they might collect gunk or soap bubbles. Using water-based lubes or water-based anal is key, because most silicone lubes will damage it.
Mine currently lives alongside my other silicone dildos, in a plastic drawer, but yours can stay in a plastic or satin bag.
The density of this toy is incredibly hard and provides a thick, filling sensation, despite its somewhat modest numbers. The handle provides an elegant, practical option against useless, ill-designed balls but I find the sharper textures around the head make this toy better suited for clenching. Those who prefer rougher rides or thick toys might find this one perfect for the hard thrusting this handle was designed with in mind.
I received the Anaconda from Tantus in exchange for an honest and unbiased review.
Thanks, Tantus!

Due to the nature of the DOI Pandemic Influenza Plan,elements of the plan are activated in stages based on the location, duration, and severity of the pandemic. It is activated as a means to:
Partial activation of this plan allows the flexibility to react based on the situation. It also ensures that the Department remains responsive to the Federal Government Response Stages (FGRS).
5.1 Response to Federal Government Response Stages
The World Health Organization (WHO) has defined six phases that follow the cycle of a new influenza virus emerging and leading to an increasing number of animal and human cases, and its eventual spread throughout the population/world as a pandemic. Further details about the WHO Pandemic Phases are found in Appendix D.
Interconnected with the WHO Pandemic Phases are the FGRS. The FGRS provide a framework for Federal Government actions, and are follows:
The current WHO Pandemic Phase is Phase 3 (with human infections with a new sub-type, but no human-to-human spread, or at most, rare instances of spread to a close contact). As stated in the Implementation Plan, "it is the policy of the Federal Government to accelerate preparedness efforts prior to WHO Phase 4, then initiate pandemic response actions at Phase 4, when epidemiological evidence of two generations of human-to-human transmission of a new influenza virus is documented anywhere in the world."
The Department of the Interior has identified actions it will take and measures it will implement based on each FGRS, and these are found in Appendix E.
5.2 Plan Activation Authorities
The Secretary of Homeland Security is responsible for coordination of the Federal response during a pandemic, and supports the Secretary of Health and Human Services' coordination of overall public health and medical emergency response efforts. The Secretary of Homeland Security is also responsible for coordination of the overall Federal response to the pandemic, implementation of policies that facilitate compliance with recommended social distancing measures, the provision of a common operating picture for all Federal Departments and Agencies, and ensuring the integrity of the Nation's infrastructure, domestic security, and entry and exit screening for influenza at the borders.
The Secretary of the Interior has the authority and responsibility to fully activate (or activate portions) of the DOI Pandemic Influenza Plan in response to an actual or potential pandemic. In accordance with DM 900, the Secretary has delegated this responsibility to the Assistant Secretary - PMB. Bureau Directors also have the authority to activate their respective pandemic influenza plans independent of an activation of the DOI Pandemic Influenza Plan.
5.3 Prioritization of Departmental Activities During a Pandemic
During health emergencies, the objective of the Department is to continue executing its activities to the greatest extent possible while limiting the spread of disease, sustaining infrastructure, and mitigating impact to the economy and the functioning of society. To ensure this, prioritized functions are reflected in Bureau pandemic influenza plans and in Appendix P for the Offices in the Immediate Office of the Secretary and those reporting to the Assistant Secretary – PMB.
Strategies and policies have been developed by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), OPM, the Occupational Health and Safety Administration (OSHA), as well as other Federal Departments and Agencies, to mitigate the impact of the disease on employee health and ensure the Mission Essential Functions of the Federal Government continue with no or minimal interruptions. DOI has adopted these strategies and policies, and will implement them on a phased basis.
The strategies outlined in this section provide DOI's leadership with a range of options for continuing operations.
It is important to note that human resources options, such as administrative leave, as well as safety and health precautions, including personal protective equipment (PPE), work practices, and personal hygiene practices, depend on the circumstances and the nature of the task being performed. In addition, they can be implemented in conjunction with one another or independently, depending on the situation, for further details refer to Appendices F - H for the health and safety guidance, and Appendix I for human resources information. Appendix O contains pandemic influenza planning checklists created by HHS and CDC that will also be useful for the EMS, Law Enforcement, Correctional Facilities, Individual/Families, Schools (Kindergarten - 12th Grade), and Colleges/Universities sectors.
|Table 5-1. Strategies for Protecting Employees During a Pandemic
7 Obtained from the National Archives online exhibit The Influenza Epidemic of 1918
Images 1 – 7 portray:
The HHS Pandemic Influenza Plan, Part 2, Supplement 4: Infection Control, recommends that "infection control in the community should focus on 'social distancing' 2 and promoting respiratory hygiene/cough etiquette and hand hygiene to decrease exposure to others." This pandemic influenza plan follows the guidance provided by HHS with regards to social distancing and promotes social distancing as an appropriate strategy to ensure employee health.
As a means of preventing the spread of disease and continuing operations, DOI will implement the social distancing measures described in the following subsections. These measures are applied either partially or fully depending on the severity of the pandemic in the area. Detailed, DOI-specific, guidelines are in Appendix F, Table F-1.
CDC is developing guidance on anti-viral medication and vaccine distribution and use during an influenza pandemic. DOI's interim prioritization scheme is located in Appendix G. Those DOI personnel supporting COOP and other Mission Essential Functions, as well as those performing emergency services, critical infrastructure, and critical homeland and nation security services are among those included in the priority groups for receiving pandemic vaccination. When vaccine is available, COOP team members will be required to be vaccinated in order to gain access to the Departmental alternate sites.
Current guidance as it pertains to those DOI employees in high risk of exposure settings, such as handling wild birds, is described in more detail in Appendix H.
In addition, employees should receive the current season's influenza vaccine. This will reduce the possibility of dual infection with avian and human influenza viruses that could occur and result in viral reassortment (mixing of genes from human and avian viruses to form a new, mutated form of the influenza virus).
To reduce the transmission of infection in these non-occupational/non-healthcare settings, the CDC's interim guidance provides recommendations for the use of facemasks and respirators in certain public settings during an influenza pandemic. In brief, these interim recommendations advise the following:
Facemasks are loose-fitting, disposable masks that cover the nose and mouth. These include products labeled as surgical, dental, medical procedure, isolation, and laser masks. Facemasks help stop droplets from being spread by the person wearing them. Respirators (for example, N95 or higher filtering facepiece respirators) are designed to protect the wearer from breathing in very small particles, which might contain viruses.
At this current time, the CDC does not recommend the routine use of masks or other PPE for the general workforce. Guidelines on the minimum PPE to be employed by those DOI employees working in higher risk of infection situations (such as handling animals potentially infected with HPAI, performing emergency services, or other situations with close contact with potentially infected wildlife and people) is outlined Appendix H. PPE use and training for DOI employees is done in accordance with 29 CFR 1910.132 – 134. The interim guidance provided in this plan on PPE will continue to be reevaluated as more information is available and as the characteristics of the pathogens are better defined.
Telework will be a key method for social distancing while continuing the Department's operations during a pandemic. Using guidance from OHR and OCIO, telework agreements are in the process of being developed with certain DOI employees to enable them to work from home during a pandemic. The Department's remote access policy is in Appendix J.
During a pandemic, Bureaus and Offices need to plan for employee absenteeism rates reaching as high as 40 percent during the peak weeks of a community outbreak. Therefore, Bureaus and Offices should utilize a variety of means, including annual, sick and family medical leave, as well as scheduling and staffing flexibilities, to ensure the continuity of DOI's operations and essential functions. Human capital guidelines and policies for the Department of the Interior are in listed Appendix I, including:
Some aspects of COOP planning are applicable in pandemics. Detailed guidance on COOP operations is found in the DOI COOP Plan. The following subsections provide supplemental guidance on COOP activities during a pandemic.
DOI has identified and prepared alternate operating facilities to support COOP operations, including facilities geographically dispersed from the National Capital Region. If a pandemic hits the United States, DOI employees, and COOP team members specifically, may be dispersed in smaller groups to a variety of alternate facilities (as a mean of social distancing) to perform DOI's Mission Essential Functions. DOI also has plans in place for flexible/staggered scheduling of employees, including night shifts, to ensure the maximum distance between members of the workforce.
Host organizations of DOI's alternate sites are required to develop operations plans to address the movement, protection, housing, and feeding of staff during the implementation of the DOI Pandemic Influenza Plan if deployment is required. Additionally, these plans need to address social distancing techniques, quarantine of rotated staff, and isolation of employees who may become ill while deployed. Further direction on protecting health and safety of employees at their normal duty locations as well as at alternate operating facilities can be found in Section 6 and Appendices F - H.
Employees working at Departmental COOP Sites during a pandemic are required to take certain precautions before deploying and upon arrival. Some of these requirements include: being screened (to ensure not infected), receiving vaccination (if available) and influenza anti-virals, quarantining at COOP site (first few days of arrival) to determine individuals are not infected, and working flexible/alternate schedules (to reduce the numbers of personnel in the COOP Sites at one time, social distancing). For additional information, refer to Appendix E (specifically FGRS 4 – 6), Appendix F (specifically the last paragraph "Additional Precautions for Mission-Critical Personnel "), and Appendix I for the Fitness for Duty policy. In addition, in a pandemic, in activation of the DOI COOP Plan, family members will not be allowed to accompany COOP team members to the Departmental COOP Sites.
To the extent possible, the Department continues to perform its normal functions. Should the Department's workforce be significantly impacted, the Assistant Secretary – PMB has the option to fully or partially activate the DOI COOP Plan. In addition, in the event of an emergency/incident/disaster or the threat of one occurs during the influenza pandemic, the Assistant Secretary – PMB can activate the DOI COOP Plan.
Activating the DOI COOP Plan would shift the Department's functions to a focused effort and personnel devoted to the continuation of DOI's 13 Primary Mission Essential Functions (PMEFs), Secondary Mission Essential Functions (SMEFs), and supporting activities as identified in the DOI COOP Plan. (For additional information specific to the pandemic as it relates to DOI COOP, refer to the DOI COOP Plan, specifically Section 4.)
Using the concept of operations outlined in the DOI COOP Plan, the Assistant Secretary – PMB determines which group of COOP team members deploy to which alternate facility. As an additional measure of social distancing, COOP team members could be divided between the Departmental alternate operating facilities identified in the DOI COOP Plan.
As the pandemic subsides, the reconstitution of normal DOI operations is based on employee availability. The Assistant Secretary - PMB assesses the capability of the Department to resume normal operations.
5.5 Employee Reporting & Accountability and Departmental Status
During a pandemic, employees use normal reporting procedures to inform managers of their location and health and to track employee status. In addition, Bureaus have established phone numbers for employees to call when unable to report directly to supervisors during emergencies. If required, the Emergency Employee Locator System (EELS) on the Department's Emergency Management webpage (https://www.doi.gov/emergency) is used to supplement normal employee accountability systems. HR communities within each Bureau are responsible for collecting such information and may have additional back-ups and redundancies for employee accountability.
Employees access facility and Departmental status information through the following mechanisms:

The true story—and true glories—of the plants we love to hate
From dandelions to crabgrass, stinging nettles to poison ivy, weeds are familiar, pervasive, widely despised, and seemingly invincible. How did they come to be the villains of the natural world? And why can the same plant be considered beautiful in some places but be deemed a menace in others?
In Weeds, renowned nature writer Richard Mabey embarks on an engaging journey with the verve and historical breadth of Michael Pollan. Weaving together the insights of botanists, gardeners, artists, and writers with his own travels and lifelong fascination, Mabey shows how these "botanical thugs" can destroy ecosystems but also can restore war zones and derelict cities he reveals how weeds have been portrayed, from the "thorns and thistles" of Genesis to Shakespeare, Walden, and Invasion of the Body Snatchers and he explains how kudzu overtook the American South, how poppies sprang up in First World War battlefields, and how "American weed" replaced the forests of Vietnam ravaged by Agent Orange.
Hailed as "a profound and sympathetic meditation on weeds in relation to human beings" (Sunday Times), Weeds shows how useful these unloved plants can be, from serving as the first crops and medicines, to bur-dock inspiring the invention of Velcro, to cow parsley becoming the latest fashionable wedding adornment. Mabey argues that we have caused plants to become weeds through our reckless treatment of the earth, and he delivers a provocative defense of the plants we love to hate.

Here's a versatile dish that's easy to pull together from your pantry & freezer whenever you've got a taste for some deeply satisfying veggies.
It's a savory mixture of earthy greens, juicy tomatoes and tender garbanzos — a succulent accompaniment to simple roasted meats, especially chicken or pork, any day of the week.
On a Meatless Monday, serve it over pasta or rice (we love it with nutty brown rice or a long grain & wild rice combo) for a standout vegetarian main dish for 2. Delish!
Prep Time: 10m | Cook time: 30m
Serves 8 as a side, or 2 as an entrée with rice or pasta
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 cup diced Earthbound Farm Organic Yellow Onion (about 1/2 a medium onion)
1 teaspoon chopped garlic
1 package Earthbound Farm Frozen Organic Rainbow Chard Blend
1 14.5-oz can diced tomatoes, with juice
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 15-oz can garbanzo beans (also called chickpeas, drained and rinsed)
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 cup water or vegetable broth
1-1/2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
Heat oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the onion and garlic, and cook until the onion begins to get translucent, about 5 minutes. (Careful — don't burn the garlic!)
Reduce the heat to medium and add the tomatoes, frozen chard and lemon juice. Cook until the greens are tender, stirring frequently (about 10 minutes).
Add the chickpeas, paprika, water, salt and pepper. Simmer about 5 minutes more to heat through.
Serve hot, topped with Parmesan cheese, if desired.

German HOI 3 - ICE Mod.
Posted 16 August 2010 - 07:48 AM
Now I am a little late on the AAR, I will try to catch you up on what has happened so far and I will also try to get some screen shots ready from the previous times.
Okay the plan here is to take the world with any that wish to join the Axis.
The main focus from 1936 to 1939 was simply raising infantry and tank divisions with the usually attachments to each unit, as well of course as the build up of the Navy which will eventually take part in the Channel crossing.
The first ever tech started is always the techs to learn Nuclear weapons, they are usually 3 years behind, but it gives me a great head start.
Garrison divisions were built and allocated to the "North Germany Defense" Army, designed to spread out across the top of Germany in case of a seaborne invasion.
Austria was annexed, and I noticed that in the ICE version of HOI, you actually get the entire Austrian army currently employed, these men I left in Austria to defend against the southern borders. Czechoslovakia was also taken with no fighting and Slovakia was created.
September 1939 would have seen the start of ww2, however the delayment of a month was essential to the defenses on the Western front. The eventual battle started on 30th of October, some 1 month or so after the historical date, the Polish stood no chance, and no real feats occurred either for or against my Forces, Poland was annexed some 26 days later with it being split between myself and Russia, with the agreement signed.
From there came the rush to get my forces back across the country to the up and coming war with France and the low lands, with of course a small force left on the Eastern front as a buffer should the Russians break the agreement.
In december 1939 Italy still was not part of the Axis forces, and actually dared to say to Germany, "we will not join the Axis until Paris falls" This has lead me to take France alone.

Posted 16 August 2010 - 08:02 AM
There were few pockets of large resistance and Paris feel by Late France, I seem to have hit the allies with that much force and speed I was able to encircle Paris before they had time to move troops from the south or the Maginot line. Halfway from Paris to the Maginot line on a long river is where most of the fighting happened with me losing most of my losses in these areas. My tanks pushed across the West and South West almost with no resistance, in fact the northern army actually hit the Atlantic on the west of France without a shot fired. My forces continued to push south with the small pockets encircled and the Maginot Line cut off, it was only a matter of time.
I had taken around 80% of the country when Italy finally agreed to join the Axis and declare war on France, from here she began her war in the South of france, where only 1 French Divisions was present, and further south in Nth Africa.
France finally surrendered to Germany on August the 6th 1940, it took this long because the tanks had out stripped the infantry, and spent most of the time just running back and forth catching the French Providences.
My Naval exhibitions were minimal as the RN was strong, but with the Bismarck being flanking the Flag ship Graf Zeppelin, they continued to harass the RN and were even sinking ships, the less could be said for the very unsuccessful Uboat patrols or those of the Auxiliary convoy raiders.
Next post will be about the Beginning of the end for Great Britain.

Late May saw the joining of the Japaneses and the Romanian governments to the Axis forces, and the uneventful invasions of both Norway and Denmark, both fell within the week as Marines poured into their cities.
For the up and coming invasion of England saw the deployment of 15 transport ships, 3 Fallshirmjaeger divisions, and entire Marine Army or 4 Marine divisions each mixed with Assault Engineers, Joining there men in the invasion would be 1 Infantry Division and a quick support only once a beach head is established 2 Panzer Armies.
The Plan:
Planned for August, the plan is simple, drop the Paratroops with 1 commando brigade South and east of London, but north of Dover, cutting Dover of from the rest of the country.
The Marine army will head straight for Dover, devastated by the Luftwaffe this area is only held by 1 division of militia troops.
Once bridge heads are secured and Dover port is captured the tanks will roll in all 19 Divisions, from there one tank division will push straight for London, and then onto Birmingham, while the other engages the bulk of the English army in and around Portsmouth.
The Navy has been patrolling the seas with plenty of luck, sinking 2 RN battleships, and a carrier, this seems to have lowered the amount of RN ships in the area, and now the only problems are the RN aircraft constantly harassing my ships.
The Luftwaffe has already devastated the RAF, and has put all the southern airfields out of commission thus virtually eliminating the RAF as a real threat.
If for some reason reserves are needed for the BoB, then there is 2 Infantry Armies awaiting simply the word go, to launch into Britain, as the rest of the Armies have already been push east, and Garrison troops have taken there places on the shores of France, with only a few divisions left as buffer zones should an invasion break through I doubt this however as the Garrison troops have proven themselves many times in defending shore lines.
The Enemy:
Well the RN is piecemeal at best with the exception of the RN air force.
The Army according to my Luftwaffe aircraft constantly performing attacks on England, suggests that the majority of the defending infantry units are militia units probably because the main BEF was lost in France.
The RAF is for all in tense and purposes grounded.
I will update this will some screenshots and then the conclusion to this

Check your Checksum next time you launch the ICE mod and see what 4-letters it gives you. I will check mine tonight.

The extent of my land Doctrine research.
Any one with a reasonable idea of the area between Belguim and France will be able to see the depth of the advance in such a short time.
Here you can see Paris has fallen and the centre line is filled with my tanks, on left screen you can not see them but there is another tank army there.
The hardest section of the front to conquer, these troops would just not moved, and it ended up with them being surrounded.
The Maginot line in the beginning of August just before the surrender of the French army in France.
Once the line had broken, the French army fell apart and my forces rushed south to capture all the victory points and destroy the rest of the French army, you can also see the Italian army has finally began their advance into France, taking only a few Providences.
Future SS units readying for deployment to Russia.
The Marine Army that took both Denmark and Norway, only supported by 4 luftwaffe squadrons and 1 infantry Corp that hit Narvik, this Marine unit was later deployed to Northern France for the Invasion of England.
Posted 17 August 2010 - 08:31 AM
The actual invasion of England started on the 1st of September with initial deployment of the Kriegsmarine and Luftwaffe troops into England, followed a day later by the Seaborne troops.
The Graf Spee and here mighty career to date, and her great attempts at defending transport units crossing the Channel.
The invasion.
The Invasion went perfect, with the Paratroopers landing and cutting of Dover, allowing the marines to take the port, and the tanks to begin landing. You can see the tanks already have taken the ill defended London and are pushing NOrth to take Birmingham. The second army is currently in Portsmouth and is about to Push West into those areas and cut those troops off.
You can see more clearly the objectives in this shot.
As this is where I am up to I will be able to update this more frequently now, and more in more detail.
Also to keep you informed of the other fronts, all new troops produced are now being deployed to the Eastern front or the Balkan area.
2 armies redeploying to the Balkans for the invasion of Yugoslavia and Greece perhaps Hungary and Bulgaria as well.
In the stack is also 1 French tank army consisting of captured French Tanks after the fall of France, an interesting touch in the ICE expansion.
Posted 17 August 2010 - 08:32 AM
Posted 19 August 2010 - 08:47 AM
The front 2 weeks into the Invasion. you can see the majority of the English forces were attempting to defend the entry to Wales, they failed and were eventually surrounded and destroyed near the coast. You can also see the Falling back of the English Southern forces.
A mighty victory for the Kriegsmarine in sinking the pride of the Royal Navy, good on the Admiral Scheer and her crew. Sadly however the Admiral Scheer was sunk only a few days later in the same area of sea attempting to hold the English in their last Southern port.
The collapse of the Northern English defensive line, as two panzer units rush through the open gaps in the line, as well as Marine Division captures a near by port, thus cutting of the North from the South enveloping the Welsh territories and the troops defending it.
Further collapse of the Northern Line.
You can see the tanks have pushed too far ahead, and were forced to wait for the Marine infantry to catch up before advancing.
Almost 2 months after the beginning of the invasions, German troops push further into Scotland and are currently on the steps of the Highlands and a mere stone's throw away from Ireland.
The English were able to consolidate there troops in this area and gained some sort of composure, this is the latest report from the north.
11 days before the latest report, this is the recon photo of the English attempts at retreat in the South of England, you can see the massive English fleet in the sea, this fleet caused must chaos amongst my Navy, and effectively ported them for good. This was also the fleet which sunk the Admiral Scheer which was responsible for sinking the Nord, the Pride of the Royal Navy.
Once the english were pushed to the sea, they amazingly began a retreat onto the boats waiting out to sea. Upon realizing what was happening I sent all available vessels and Aircraft to the providence and sea lane to attempt to destroy as many troops and transport ships as possible, unfortunately there were three CV's and a strong air force that must have been coming from North Ireland, and my forces suffered badly.
The battle continues from here.
Posted 11 October 2010 - 08:16 AM
The next step from here was redeploying the bulk of my troops to the Eastern front, except one army in north Ireland in preparation of the invasion of the south. The current situation on the Eastern front is this, nearly 1,000,000 men stand guard ready to invade Russia who has begun mobilization of their forces.
The campaign in Yugoslavia I left to the computer to wage, this it did with surprisingly efficiency taking all the objectives and in the end forcing them to surrender within a month, I then annexed their nation. Shortly after Bulgaria and Hungary both joined the Axis forces, and the war into Greece followed shortly after.
While Greece was contested, I moved 2 paratrooper regiments from England to Morrocco (Nth Africa) for the invasion of Gibraltar. This airborne invasion followed a few days after their arrival, and the battle waged their for a number of days with neither side getting any advantage. The end result was my forced deployment of 1 division of marines stationed in Africa. With the fall of Gibraltar came the invasion of the North Africa against the British forces in the desert. The Italian troops just like historically were greatly losing against the British forces, and this called for German troops to assist. I accepted the event "Afrika Korp" and the Afrika Korp was established with Rommel at its head.
I didn't take any screenies of the victories here, but I will take some of the latest dates.
Posted 09 November 2010 - 12:14 PM
A quick few updates.
Africa Korp formed, reinforced with 2 infantry and 1 tank division from Greece has stopped just east of tobruk and the battle is at a standstill
Finland joined the Axis forces and all forces from Yugoslavia and Greece mainly aroun 120,000 men moved to the Finnish and Russian border.
War decalred against Germany by the Soviet Union, Finland refuses to join the fight and German troops in Finland are forced to retreat to available Finnish ports to attempt to join the fight in East Poland.

Hello and welcome to the forum Jessica
Animal testing is a terrible idea; they get all nervous and give the wrong answers.

The pain it comes
The pain it goes
I never know when it will hit me
Or how hard I'm gonna fall
It's my own fault
I put myself out there
I put my feelings on the firing line
The firing squad stands ready
Anticipating the command
They ask me if I want a blindfold
I decline
I put myself out there
I wanna see it coming
I hate to be blind sided
All though it might not hurt as bad
I face my fate
I hold my chin up high

Human Development in Africa
Human development (HD), a process designed to enhance human lives directly, is contrasted with economic development, which entails the expansion of material things intended to fulfill human needs. Human development empowers people to participate in the improvement of their own well-being. The paper looks at the record of HD in Africa over the period 1970-2005, using half-decadal data derived from United Nations sources and national statistical bureaus. It is found that over the period analyzed, the human development index improved in all African countries except in Zambia, where it declined, due to unfavorable terms of trade and to persistent health and governance problems, among challenges. Nonetheless, despite this progress, African countries continue to lag behind other regions of the world in HD. There has been little advance on the economic development front, where growth plummeted in most African countries, impoverishing nearly 50 per cent of the population. Towards the end of the 1990s, however, African economies began to recover due mainly to reforms in governance and distributive systems, and in mechanisms to protect people against downside risks, including disease pandemics, political instabilities, droughts and adverse terms of trade. The paper argues for a continuation of reforms in order to further improve economic and human development outcomes on the continent.

The human world and Domain are in a Stable Time Loop.The two worlds run parallel to each other. So when the birds discover time machines and go back in time to avert their Crapsack World, so do the humans of the future to avoid their Crapsack World. And the worlds in the past they go to are actually each other's worlds. So in what was formerly Domain, humans started to populate the earth, and in what was formerly the human world, animals start to populate the earth. We've already seen what caused the human world to go crapsack and the birds to find the time machine in canon. What caused Domain to go to hell was the emergence of naturally born humans in Domain. Those two, or some descendants of theirs, will be the ones to find the time machine and go back in time. In other words...
Francis and Lindesfarne's future child(ren) are the Adam and Eve of the human race
When Ray used the intelligence ray on himself, he kept some of the intelligence he gainedAlthough it can be explained with Characterization Marches On, Ray started out as a ditz who couldn't identify his natural enemies. While he realized that being as much of a genius as he was would potentially attract Lindesfarne to him, he decided against making himself as stupid as Pat Buchanan. After reverting back, he doesn't have any brilliant moments, but he doesn't do anything especially stupid, either, and seems more insightful about certain aspects of himself (like the changing nature of his relationship with Tammy).
The former human world is 'Earth-That-Was' from Firefly.Think about it. The folks from the Firefly 'verse left the world when it was too polluted to sustain their numbers. What did the birds say their former world was like, and what happened to their humans? (Note: this isn't Domain's planet, but the original bird homeworld.)
The Bird's plan was doomed from the startThere's no reason why intelligent animals would be better than humans. Real animals regularly destroy their environments when population control factors (predators, competitors, parasites) disappear.
In a portal imbalance, humans actually gain instincts.To be more precise, they take on animal instincts not of their own. This leads to an uprise in the furry fandom. After all, all those lost instincts have to go somewhere.
More humans will come to Domain.This troper thinks that Holbrook will introduce more humans at some point...and hopefully we'll see the first human villains in this comic.
- Catherine Aura's twitter reveals that they're considering this concept, and also allowing disillusioned Domain citizens to cross over to the human world in exchange. It remains to be seen if any humans are just minor mentions or will become actual characters, given how Catherine is a Hero of Another Story.
Rudy's portrayal of humans was more accurate than it appeared.Life is extremely adaptable, and while humans created tons of evolution and might even be the next meteor if we create a landscape of nothing but nuclear waste and Styrofoam, life will adapt to feed off of nuclear waste and garbage. If humans actually destroyed the world, it would have had to be partly intentional.
There will be overpopulation of rabbits in the futureSince Kell is married to Kevin and is now the CEO of Herd Thiners, Herd Thinners employees no longer hunt rabbits in fear of getting fired. This will lead to overpopulation of rabbits in the future and Kell will need to step down so that predators can hunt rabbits without fear, thus returning them to stable numbers.
- Jossed in the sense that Kell is no longer CEO of Herd Thinners, but given that the Rabbit Council is funding her rival company, still a valid WMG.
Francis is a Were of some kindHe'll eventually gain the ability to shift into one or both of his parents' species.
Bill Hollbrook made Lindesfarne a human princess for one reason...To keep people from speculating that her human counterpart was Samantha Argus.
- Which is for the best, because it's easy to suggest that Rudy is Dave Hamper's counterpart, so that'd make it a bit weird.
Kell's ouster as Herd Thinners CEO has a point:So that Kell and the HT staff that quit with her can create their own competing company, re-filling the niche markets that RL will have presumably abandoned.
- Confirmed!
The plotline about how the SATs are biased toward the math and reading oriented will come back.After all, Rudy still has to take them.
The species will merge.Inter-species reproduction has become the norm instead of the exception. In the long term, most animals will be mutt omnivores. They may evolve into humans.
Crosses between carnivores and herbivores inherit their mother's dietsProbably has something to do with what nutrients they got during gestation. And there is a bit of a pattern:
- Coney: Rabbit dad, wolf mom, vicious predator.
- Corrie: Wolf dad, sheep mom, grazer.
- Francis: Fennec dad, formerly human mother, omnivore.
Danielle has killer rabbit DNA from her mother and/or father.Danielle's thoughts about not wanting to sink to the predators level could be translated as making the choice to be a herbivore instead of there simply being no other option, and what happened with her at herd thinners is pretty similar to how her gate counterpart catches her prey, could this have been when she made her decision. Her gate counterpart is a capable hunter despite the fact she probably never hunted in her life.

A Plan to Save America
Yessir, after years in the gestation, thousands of words flowing under the bridge, there's a plan to save America. "A plan to save America? Are you out of your mind, Fred? How can you save America?"
Patience my friends. You'll see.
But first, an IQ test, sorta like we do down at RWVA, using the AQT to sort out the cooks from the riflemen - only this time, to see if you are a Doofus Americanus. In which case you have a choice: change/improve yourself or stubbornly remain a doofus. If the latter, there is no point in you wasting your time here — better find another site on the net, one where you don't have to worrying about being thoughtful...or being part of that great American tradition - being "the best you can be..."
True or false:
Ten points every time you said "False".
100 points: Good man, add a little shooting skill, and you can be a rifleman.
90: You can be fooled, but not often. Get to the range, and learn to shoot.
80: Gettin' near the edge. Time to wake up, get to the range, learn to shoot.
70 or below: Man, you are in need of a MAJOR wakeup. Keep reading. And get to the range or to an Appleseed, your only salvation is learning to shoot, and learning what it means to being an American.
30 or under: Real 100% Doofus Americanus — bet it was the one on The Founding Fathers that tripped you up, right? That's a hard one, sure — time to either 'fess up and straighten up - or move on.
Now, the rest of you, ready to proceed? Let's go!
What's exciting about a little seed making a big tree? Simply this: Plant enough apple seeds, and you soon have a land filled with apple trees. Johnny Appleseed, an early American hero, knew this fact, and believed in it enough to devote his life to it.
So just call me Freddy Appleseed.
When those seeds germinate into riflemen, and their efforts bear forth as fruit other riflemen, we soon have a Nation of Riflemen. The logic of it is inescapable. All you gotta do is plant some seeds. So, why don't we? Might be f-u-n.
"Fun?" You telling me, Fred, saving America, is fun?
Yes sir, and it doesn't get better. Save America, and have fun doing it. Doesn't seem fair, does it? That this world, with all its crazy rules, rules that usually leave you hanging high, can deal you such a sweet hand - but I believe, in this instance, it has. Save America, by learning to shoot, then getting others to shoot (you enthusiasts don't have to wait, get your friends learning — as you learn!).
Project Appleseed, as we call it, is to help you out. To make it even easier. To provide a source of information, inspiration, motivation, and simple determination. Check out www.rwva.org to find the location of the nearest Appleseed to you.
Project Appleseed is simple: you come to a weekend Appleseed to learn rifle marksmanship. You bring evey friend, every relative, every neighbor, every co-worker you can. While you are learning the skills necessary to shoot a rifle, you hear the story of the Founding - of the first day of the Rev War - April 19th, 1775, "the Day Marksmanship met History, and the Heritage was born..."
Once you become a rifleman, you don the RWVA "Instructor" cap, and become a Teacher of Riflemen.
In three years plus, we've already welcomed the 10,000th Appleseeder to an Appleseed. Our goal is 100,000 by 2012; 1,000,000 by 2016. The only way we make those goals is for you to pitch in and help us bail the ship.
We'll teach you to shoot, then we'll teach you to teach.
Soon you'll be teaching hundreds of people a year to shoot a rifle - and telling them the Story of April 19th, 1775. My friend, you'll no longer be "like everyone else" - this is not uselessly talking about how bad things are, but doing something about it, something that will make a difference.
Don't like public speaking? Don't know the Story?
No problem. Becoming an instructor is like becoming a rifleman. It takes time, and persistence. But just like every American can become a rifleman, every rifleman is competent to pass those skills on to others. So don't worry about it, you can do it - and you'll be a better person for it. A more worthy person. Even an important person. After all, you're saving a country. How important is that?
Take it one step at a time, and simply persist in taking steps, and you'll be there in no time.
First, come to an Appleseed, bringing others with you - as many as possible.
Second, work on polishing those skills you'll learn at Appleseed until you can shoot qualifying rifleman scores.
Then come to an Appleseed and tell the RWVA instructor you want to become like him.
That's all there is to it. (Well, there's a few weekends of training, and all - but when you aim to be the best rifle marksmanship instructor on the planet, you have to expect that, right?)
So let's start planting seeds. And start with YOU, as the first one. The first step:
Now everyone is gonna wanna be a Freddy Appleseed, and you can't blame 'em. Welcome aboard, I say. But an important task like saving America shouldn't be expected to proceed without some formality. It is, after all, an important task: we need you to sign up for the duration, not for the moment. So here's what you do. Pledge the following, to yourself (who better?):
Starting this minute, I pledge to reach down deep inside myself and wake up that sleeping American, the Rifleman.
This pledge given voluntarily on this ___________ day of ___________________, 20___ and if I fail to live up to it, I understand I can lose my firearms, my freedom, and my country. And that no true American will be willing to see that happen. So help me God.
/s/________________________________________ (American Patriot)
OK, so you pledge to go to the range and have fun shooting, get your friends into shooting with you, which is even more fun, vote, 'one minute letter' your reps, take advantage of the talents of others to help win the goal, help form a club if needed, and maybe a range. Along the way, you not only become a rifleman, you soon start teaching others to be riflemen. How sweet is that? Believe me, offer this deal to the boys back in 1775 and there'd be no hesitation. Hm-m-m-m-h, let's see, an 8-yr bloody war, home burned, sleep out in the rain and mud, lose 50-60 pounds on bad rations (OK, this one is good, right?), watch your friends die of "fever" and British ball and bayonet - or go to the range, and shoot with some friends?
Tough one, Fred! Let me think it over. Tick...Tock...Tick...Tock...Tick... Just don't think too long, friend. Tempus is fugiting.
Now, let's look at this project from a different point of view:
All we want is your commitment.
Your resolve, the resolve to carry out your part of the program. To learn to shoot, to shoot with friends, to make more friends — all of them awakened Americans — can you get better friends? Vote and write a few 'one-minute' letters to reps (this prob the only 'onerous' part), maybe form a club and get a range going. And to persist. To persist in not only becoming a rifleman, but in passing the heritage and the skill on to others. To persist until the end of your life. So you can look back, on your lonely deathbed, and take as one bright ray in your life your faithfulness. To the cause of Liberty. So your last breath can whisper "Semper fidelis..."
You are right: Fred cannot save America.
But this plan can.
But only if you 'take the pledge'. It costs nothing, unless you chip in for a range. Most of it is fun. Can you do it? If you do it, we will save America. If you don't do it, we won't.
The Founders of the Nation are watching.....will they be disappointed by your decision?

Adidas has told the IAAF that it is to end its sponsorship agreement with athletics' governing body four years early, according to reports.
Adidas signed an 11-year agreement with the IAAF in 2008 but, according to a report from the BBC, has now signalled its intentions to end the deal.
The IAAF has been engulfed in a doping scandal over the last year, with a World Anti-Doping Agency independent commission reporting of "state sponsored" doping in Russia, while a second commission report said "the IAAF Council could not have been unaware of the extent of doping in athletics and the non-enforcement of applicable anti-doping rules."
If the reports are confirmed, they will serve a huge blow to IAAF president Lord Coe, who succeeded Lamine Diack in the role in August last year.
There has been no comment from the IAAF or Adidas.Reuse content
