[Southwest flight from Nashville to Chicago Midway Airport, 8:05 pm to 9:35 pm, Friday, October 10, 2014.]
At the last minute on Friday before the race, we had a change of plans and decided to stay in a hotel downtown that night rather than going to my parents' house in the suburbs. Although at first it seemed hectic, it turned out in our favor, actually. We were able to get more sleep this way and we cut down at least two hours of unnecessary travel time.
We knew that going to the expo early would be in our best interest. This was correct; however, we ended up spending a lot of time there even though we should have been in the hotel room relaxing with our feet on pedestals, watching movies and relaxing!
When we first arrived, we picked up our race bibs and t-shirts, then figured we would wind our way up and down each aisle.
We found vendors, clothing, race day fuel, drinks, giant course maps and even a huge #OWNCHICAGO sign people could autograph.
One memorable stop we made was at the Goose Island bus, which was parked in the middle of the room. As we waited to climb in the bus to get our free samples of IPA and 312 (something I had sampled a few times previously!), the man in front of me turned and said "I always tell people not to try anything new before a race." I proceeded to impress him with my charm and assure him this was nothing new for me. We continued talking and eventually discovered that my new friend Everett used to run with the Fox River Trail Runners, which is the group with which my dad trained. He asked for my dad's name and seemed to remember him. I told him I would have better luck with dad remembering him if I had a face to put with the name.
He mentioned that he had left The Fox River Trail Runners (FRTR) to branch off and start coaching beginner runners. He also said he was part of a fundraising group for a man named Jack who was unable to beat his battle with Melanoma. This hit close to home for me since I was diagnosed with melanoma just one year ago next month. Melanoma is a form of skin cancer. Luckily mine was caught very early and the surgeon was able to get it all when he did surgery to remove the spot and one lymph node.
When we were finished talking to Everett we headed over to the booth and learned more about Jack and his diagnosis. Jack passed away 9 months after his diagnosis and left his wife and four young children. I donated a few dollars and received a couple of bracelets. We ran the marathon with our bracelets for Jack (find more information at Jacksfund.org).
We arrived at the expo around 9:30 am and did not leave until about four and a half hours later. The expo, held at McCormick Place in Chicago, was enormous and basically my heaven! It was incredible. There was so much to see, so much to do, and not too long into our adventure, my goodie bag weighed at least half as much as I do.
The expo was great fun, however, there was not much time for relaxing in between our first trip to the expo and the time my parents arrived but, still, a few minutes felt better than none. I used the time to work on my note cards as well as organize my clothes and race gear for the race.
Obviously I had to go over "my list" before I left my house, but I didn't want to pack anything up and have to dig it out at 5 am either.
Not pictured here is the long-sleeved shirt I wore at the start. The forecast for race start was 40 degrees and overcast (typical Chicago weather). It was expected to last most of the morning/early afternoon.
The notecards I worked on were Ashley's idea. She suggested that we make notecards to read to each other at each mile. We could dedicate certain miles to specific people, we could write quotes on our cards, etc. at first I thought this would be overwhelming but it became a fun little project.
We ended up back at the expo just a few short hours later so we could show my dad around.
While we were there we all signed up for the 5:25 pace team. We didn't actually want to set a time goal but thought it may be good to have some direction along the course. I thought the tattoo was kind of fun anyway. 🙂
We rushed through it in time to meet my mom for a nice pasta dinner at Maggiano's (not to be confused with Mariano's, the grocery store….
Runners who travel for races, what do you do if you can't get late check out? It would have been nice to get in a shower before heading home but not all of us are fast enough to run a marathon and still check out at 11:00 am. Since late check-out was unfortunately not an option, we packed up and went to bed so we could move everything out of our room when we woke up early for the big race.

From Geo Hashing
Tue 20 Jan 2009 in Melbourne, Florida:
Planning and Analysis[edit]
Jan 20, 2009: detzold and nurbles finally managed to reach one! Since it was in the middle of a busy road, we drove though the spot first, then went to a nearby park to get some pictures and nearly freeze our Floridian butts off. The SE corner of the park was only a couple dozen feet East of the exact spot. We searched the park's body of water for walrus, penguin and polar bears, but could find none, despite the seeming (Ant)Arctic conditions (well, to us Florida beach folk, at least). They must've all been in Washington for the inauguration (or watching it from Al Gore's house).

How long have you been in plumbing?
I've been doing it since I was 13… all starting with helping my dad on the odd job.
What inspired you to get into it?
My dad, through and through. I thought I'd take a summer off after finishing high school, but nope… 5:30am, my dad was at the end of my bed, pulling me up and into work.
What's the best part of your job?
The best (and worst) part is finding problems created by people who aren't licensed or cut corners. It's the worst because customers don't always get real expertise – but the best because we love being the ones to give it.
What is your business philosophy?
Do it right. If possible, always do it right. Some older buildings can be a challenge, but otherwise there's no excuse. We've walked away from jobs that had shoddy work, inferior parts and we couldn't guarantee a positive outcome – we pride ourselves on doing it right, every time.
How do you spend your time off?
Going to TFC games with my kids, amateur radio and playing with RC aircrafts and quad-copters (when I have the time). Most of all, spending time with my family.
Alex Jr. has his Plumbers Certificate Of Qualification, Gas Fitters 2 Certificate, Ministry of Environment Well Technicians License, Water Meter Installers Licence and Small Drinking Water Operators Certification as well as completing courses on Water Softeners, Filters, UV Sterilizers and Pumps.
Alex is also a Certified Franklin Electric Contractor with certifications levels of 'Expert' in
Drives & Controls
Irrigation Pumps
Industrial Pumps
March 2011 – March 2013, Director – Pump Installers for the Ontario Ground Water Association (O.G.W.A.). helping to protect and promote Ontario's most precious resource.
When did you found Manax?
What inspired you to get into plumbing?
My father told me to get into a trade… he said "if your hands are dirty you will have food on the table."
What are you most proud of?
The way we service our customers and make them a priority.
How do you spend your time off?
Working around the home, cottage and church involvement.
What advice would you give someone aspiring to get into this line of work?
Be patient and don't do the job just for the money. Focus on the quality of your work.
Sadly Alexander Giger Sr. Pass away March 28, 2018
I guess there was just some plumbing problems in heaven even God need help with.
What DON'T I do here at Manax! The guys will gladly say "the actual plumbing!" I schedule service calls, place orders and help our customers with any issue they may have with water treatment products and services. I'm the oil that keeps the gears turning smoothly here!
What inspired you to get into it?
Alex has known me for over 20 years and he knows my bread-and-butter is customer service and sales. I love working with people and providing them with honest and appropriate solutions for their water quality needs in their home and business. What I like about Manax is that we take pride in doing the right thing for the customer, are transparent about our costs and offer the best products at reasonable prices.
What's the best part about your job?
Building relationships with new and loyal clients alike. I get to hear some great stories from all of our customers and I work with a great team of guys who are good at their craft. We joke around about some of the crazy things we see in the field and – as you can tell from our Facebook pictures – they can be interesting!
What is your business philosophy?
Offer the best products, offer reasonable prices, look after your staff, look after your customers.
How do you spend your time off?
I love recreational sports. I play baseball and cycle in the summer months and play hockey and volleyball in the winter months. I also love to cook Mexican and Italian cuisine when I have time to enjoy it with my family & friends.
What is it that you do at Manax?
— I'm a Red Sealed licensed plumber, meaning I do everything from new construction to service and everything in between. The Red Seal Program is the Canadian standard of excellence for skilled trades.
What's the best part about your job?
— Dealing with lovely customers on a daily basis, because at the end of the day, I'm doing this for them.
Where do you see yourself in 5 years?
— Continuing to improve in work and in life.
How would you describe yourself in 5 words or less?
— Charming, funny, brilliant & athletic.
What are you most proud of in your life?
— My children.

Hi Gilbert,
I have been visiting the transitioning website for almost 6 months now. Recently, I read from the comments that there seem to be a shift towards other issues such as racial discrimination and politics instead of focusing on helping those who are jobless or those who have family problems. I have been selective in reading the articles. For those articles that I am interested in, I will read the details and comments, while for the rest, I will just read the headlines. I also realized that you have removed the ST column recently.  I will always use the link to go to read some ST news whenever I visit the website.
Initially, I found solace in knowing that there are other people who are in similar situations as me. There are also some who are even much more unfortunate than me. I think many jobless people turn to seek advice and comfort from your website after numerous failed attempts in seeking help from the CDCs or e2i. There are many who turn to the career counsellors/coaches as a last resort. They can provide as with a listening ear or advice, but I feel that ultimately, we have to help ourselves to solve our own problems. I feel that being jobless is a source for other problems for most of us. At the end of the day, we are expected to be self-reliant and self-sufficient.
Life is like a board game. Sometimes you move forward 3 steps and step back 2 steps. You can put in a lot of effort to reach the finishing line, but the obstacles along the way may move you back to square one again. Some people can reach the finishing line fast without much effort, while others struggle along the way, moving back and fro. I think many people would not want to be jobless if there are other better options available. We are just victims of circumstances through no fault of ours. For some people, they may feel very desperate and depressed after being jobless for 2 months, while some are resigned to their fate after being jobless for 2 years. There are also temps or contract workers who have a roller coaster ride of being in and out of jobs. There seem to be no job security in the world and it is a vicious cycle of eking out a decent living amid the ever increasing high costs of living.
As a Chinese Singaporean, I have even faced racial discrimination in a workplace before. The incident happened in 2007. I was jobless for some time and out of desperation, I worked as a temp clerk in a company for about 3 to 4 months for about $1k per month. There were 2 other Malay clerks there and they always spoke to each other in Malay. They liked to speak and laugh loudly among themselves. Though I couldn't understand a word, I could sense that they were poking fun at me and laughing away. I was unhappy but I just kept quiet and did my work. I couldn't be bothered with what they were saying. They always went for lunch together without asking me along. I guessed they had many secrets to share among themselves and would not be comfortable with me around. Thus, I always ate alone. Anyway, I would rather eat alone than become a subject of ridicule during their boredom.
When the boss was on an overseas trip, they would go for a long lunch lasting 1.5 hr and knocked off 15 mins or even much earlier. They also asked me to go home earlier but I refused and asked them to go ahead. Even if I got nothing to do, I would wait for the official time to knock off. I was afraid that the recruitment agent would find fault with me for skiving and docked my pay. They also liked to take leave on some Mondays after spending their weekends with their families at the beach. Hence, I was forced to take leave on those Mondays since they won't be around in the office with me. The problem is that as a temp, my leave was unpaid but they had the liberty to take their annual leave. To avoid trouble, I didn't voice out my grievances to the agent. I think the agents are more inclined to help the employers than the employees.
When the boss was around, they would work a bit of OT sometimes.  A day before the boss was to return from his overseas trip, I remembered that they were rushing their work and left later than me.  After I found another job, I gave one of them a week's notice verbally. She was angry and asked me why I didn't inform her earlier. In actual fact, as a temp, I only need to give her a day's notice instead of a week's notice. I also just found the job and they hoped that I could start asap. Anyway, I had also completed my job before I left and there would be nothing for me to do even if I stayed on. I was very unhappy during that period in my life and just tolerated them for the sake of $$.
I feel obliged to give you my story because there are always 2 sides to a coin. I think everyone will be discriminated in one form or another through no fault of theirs in this world. We just have to make the best out of the worst scenarios. Ultimately, as long as our conscience is clear, we shouldn't be bothered about the untruths that people say about us.
I understand from some comments that there are people who are unhappy that you are deviating from the focus of helping the jobless to the issue of racial discrimination. Maybe you can publish some articles about how people overcome discrimination, either racial or otherwise, from the workplace. I think many people need to draw strength and inspiration from those successful stories instead of merely being informed that such situations exist in our society today. Maybe while you exposed the errant employers, you can also published employers with good records who may be willing to employ the jobless and even provide training for free.
Thanks for your time. If you want to publish my letter, please change my name.

Wave goodbye to BIOS, say hello to UEFI, a new technologies that will drastically minimize start off-up times. Even so, this may alienate the students who do not have computers or electronic devices simply because they are getting treated differently from their peers. Read more about some of our 2016 initiatives under that are part of today's White Property announcement, and roll up your sleeves, we're right there with you ! No, the only problem with obtaining a Critical engineering laptop is obtaining one particular with a native serial port. Throughout the subsequent 4 years, the demand for those skilled in architecture and engineering will continue to improve.
For far more than 40 years, developers, researchers, and managers have relied on Laptop for timely, peer-reviewed info about analysis, trends, ideal practices, and adjustments in the profession. Their knowledge of personal computer technologies will be like that of automotive racers, fighter jet pilots or astronauts. Technologies is a new and thrilling avenue that not several of our generation have had. There are several, several people in the globe who reside quite comfortably without technologies at all.
Until now, these intricate personal computer components – thin plastic sheets of electronic circuits, comparable to sheets of paper – had been only offered in quite modest quantities in laboratories and restricted to certain types of devices. Even if a personal computer can manage to translate well or correct your grammar, it is controversial to claim that language and communication are actually taking location. The advent of personal computer made attainable for the introduction of the Internet and its concomitants. If you need to have to edit the scanned document, you can do that with the incorporated software and then produce Powerpoint, Excel and Word goods from it.
Ubuntu can run on a pc with 1GHz CPU, and 384MB of RAM, a ten GB hard drive but if you want it to run smoothly, I advise 1GB or much more of RAM, and a CPU faster then 1 GHZ. Even though a typical browser on a computer will let you to have several tabs running at as soon as, most smartphones don't come with this capability on their internet browser. I would give it a go but I picture it will,be like the present technology that converts voice messages to text and practically constantly gets it incorrect.
There is a lot of motion and activity involved, and if you're an efficiency nut like me you'll want to make the greatest use of your technologies. Its probably that your situation is with hardware as opposed to a computer software driver concern. It identified researchers could tap into vehicles' electronic systems via a laptop laptop connected by a cable. In uncommon cases, the entire program freezes and then the only selection is to press the energy button till the pc is forced to shut down. Adding far more RAM, upgrading the CPU, video card, motherboard, and switching to a solid state drive or quicker hard drive for your Windows or Linux operating method drive will make your computer quicker.

Muscle Building Shortcuts
Train Hard
Training hard is, of course, the #1 requirement to build muscle. Training hard means giving 100% when you go to the gym: go to muscle failure and keep your workouts under 1 hour to maximize testosterone production and build muscle fast.
No smartphones, no MP3s. No distractions during workouts!
The only thing that matters is getting big!
Train Right
Training hard is useless if you don't train right. You need to know what you're doing when you work out, not just lift weights randomly. Alternate workout routines for muscle confusion, perform the right number of sets and reps, rest between sets, and especially...the form is crucial. Combining the right movements with the proper breathing, and the help of a spotter, can save you from bad injuries that will keep you off the gym for long periods of time.
Eat Right
Exercise can keep you in shape, yes, but no lean muscle mass can grow without proper nutrition.
Balance protein, carbs and fats in your diet to get all the necessary nutrients to build muscle after stressful workouts. I consider a 40-40-20 combination of the three to be ideal, and yes, fats are important too. Good fats like unsaturated fatty acids are necessary for testosterone production, while saturated fatty acids should be avoided as much as possible.
Supplements such as whey protein can help getting the required amount of protein to rebuild your muscles.
Sleep Well
Now, the last step: the well deserved rest. Do you know that our body grows during sleep?
That's why babies sleep a lot, because they need to grow.
A good workout is supposed to stress and break the muscle fibers, which need protein and amino acids to rebuild fast. And that process happens while we sleep.
Remember: no recover equals no muscle gains.

Oh, my gosh! Thank you so much! I am lactose intolerant and have been having gas since I started a new exercise and diet program. I was actually getting constipated and figured it had something to do with the protein supplements I am using because It didn't make sense because I'm eating tons of dark green veggies and drinking tons of water -at least 3\4 gal. a day I stopped for one day and went back to yogurt in my smoothie/shake -felt better. I have no trouble with lactose in yogurt.I have a question -I make my own yogurt using 2% milk and I'm draining off the whey from it - can I just use that whey instead of store bought kind?
Question - I would dearly love to have copies of the anatomical excercise charts you show in Pinterest. Are you a source for these or can you direct me? I just purchased the Bowflex dumbbell system and would like all charts created for those excercises. Thank you
Is this site suitable for women?
Enjoy all of the great stuff.You are a big help. Thank you ,Larry
Just wanna say hi

City of St. Catharines will have staff working through the night to clean contaminated water and save fish at Happy Rolph's Bird Sanctuary and Petting Farm after run-off from a weekend industrial fire contaminated the park's ponds.
Workers spent Tuesday pumping contaminated water out of two ponds at the city attraction. The water is being piped into the sanitary sewer system where it will be treated and cleaned and the ponds are being refilled with fresh lake water. The ponds contain fish, including carp, catfish and koi. As many as 60 fish have already died.
Contaminated water was also blocked from running into Lake Ontario.

Looking Back/
Like most people at the close of one year and the beginning of another, I find myself sifting through memories from the past and sorting out hopes for the future. Friends know that I keep a journal, and that in addition to recording thoughts and experiences, I keep an eccentric accounting of a whole range of activities. In 2016, I spent 142 days in hotel rooms, boarded 97 flights, identified 298 different species of North American birds (adding 17 to my life list of new sightings!), went fishing 10 times, rented 18 cars, and either preached, taught, or spoke at 203 different speaking engagements. I presided over eight days of annual conferences, and attended fourteen days of General and Jurisdictional Conference. I lost 14 pounds during the first eight months of the year and then gained 13 back near the end of the year.
I read or re-read about 35 books ( reading some part of each of them and all of some of them in the attached photo). I walked/hiked/ran at least an hour a day for 296 of the 366 days of 2016. I've lost count of how many lunches, dinners, or meetings I've had with leaders of organizations affiliated with the Rio Texas Conference. I've unpacked at least 42 million boxes since our move to Texas, or so it seems. I found $2.57 in coins during 2016, and I spent fewer hours writing than in any year for the past decade.
Since starting in September as Bishop of the Rio Texas Conference, I've spoken, preached or taught 77 times to various groups, teams, committees, churches, or gatherings of pastors. I've been in 31 churches, and I've walked the property of at least another 25. I've appreciated hearing a number of our pastors preach and I've been pleased by the many outreach ministries in our communities. Since September, I've also been elected to serve as the Chair of the Board of Directors of Wespath, formerly called the General Board of Pensions, which manages $22 billion in pension assets for nearly 100,000 pastors and lay workers. The Council of Bishop also has asked me to serve as one of the 32 persons from across the global church on the Commission on a Way Forward.
Of course, the most significant event in my life and ministry of this past year was my assignment to the Rio Texas Conference. Esther and I are so pleased to be here and to work with the pastors and laity and churches of the Rio Texas Conference. The welcome has been warm, and I'm excited about the possibilities of our ministry together.
Threading all of this together, 2016 has been a year of change, of hope, of loss, of stress, of anticipation, of exhaustion, of transition, of anxiety, of newness, of joy, and of possibilities. We have felt blessed, and I hope that you have, too. I give God thanks for every one of you, and for all that you do for the purposes of Christ.
Grace and Peace

The nation's most important system for judging the clinical effectiveness of cancer treatments is approaching "a state of crisis." That is the disturbing verdict of experts assembled by the National Academy of Sciences to review the performance of clinical trials sponsored by the National Cancer Institute.
Unless the shortcomings are remedied, some of President Obama's ambitious health care reforms will be jeopardized and his audacious goal of finding "a cure for cancer in our time" will have almost no chance at all.
The most shocking deficiency highlighted by the report, issued by the academy's Institute of Medicine, is that about 40 percent of all advanced clinical trials sponsored by the Cancer Institute are never completed. That is an incredible waste of effort and money, and a huge obstacle at a time when researchers are developing promising new therapies that must be rigorously tested.
These large, government-sponsored studies are supposed to be the gold standard — and very different from the narrow, occasionally biased studies sponsored by manufacturers seeking approval of a new drug.
The government-sponsored trials can be invaluable in comparing one therapy against another (manufacturers rarely want to put their products up against a competitor's), combinations of therapies, or therapies for rare diseases with little commercial potential.Continue reading the main story
So it is especially worrying to hear the experts say that the system — run by the Cancer Institute at the National Institutes of Health — is so mired in cumbersome procedures that it needs to be completely overhauled.
The Cancer Institute funds clinical trials primarily through 10 "cooperative groups" of experts. They generate ideas for testing new therapies and conduct the trials through networks of cancer centers and community oncology practices. More than 25,000 patients, 3,100 institutions and 14,000 investigators participate each year.
Yet a series of reviews in recent years found that the testing operation is mired in bureaucracy and poorly coordinated. A typical trial must navigate past dozens of overlapping reviews by different boards and agencies that must approve the original concept for the trial and then the protocol that will govern how it is conducted before the investigators can start enrolling any patients.
The average time between developing the concept for a study and getting it started is about 2.5 years. The longer a study takes to get started, the more likely it is to become scientifically out of date, and the less likely it is that doctors or patients will want to participate.
Other factors, including failure to pay investigators and their institutions the full costs of a trial, can also impede enrollment. And if not enough patients are enrolled, the study lacks the statistical power to generate meaningful results and cannot be completed.
The Institute of Medicine panel, headed by John Mendelsohn, president of the M.D. Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, offered a range of suggestions for improving the prospects for success.
It called for reducing and consolidating the number of cooperative groups, committees and reviews; increasing the money to support the trials; increasing the academic rewards to encourage researchers to run clinical trials; setting strict deadlines for each step in the process; and prioritizing the studies most likely to be successful. All that should be done even if money has to be transferred from other research activities.
The need for improvement looms especially large now that the Obama administration is pouring substantial sums into "comparative effectiveness research." That is essential to helping doctors determine which treatments work well and which do not — and holding down the cost of medical care.
More than 11 million Americans are living with cancer or the prospect that cancer may return, and 1.5 million more may get new diagnoses of the disease this year, driving total cancer care costs above $100 billion a year. Nearly one in four Americans are projected to die from cancer. It is vitally important to find the best treatments for them. Repairing the clinical trials system is critical not only for health care reform but for the health of millions of Americans.
An editorial on Sunday about faltering cancer studies incorrectly cited two figures for the number of patients participating annually in advanced clinical trials financed by the National Cancer Institute. There are more than 25,000 patients and 14,000 investigators.

Last week I went to a play that was quite ambitious-a musical remake of The Jungle Book, performed in three languages. There was also one acrobatic scene with a long piece of cloth and its manipulation, but I won't get into that.
During the interval, this occurred, "Mamma, when will the movie start?"
'Mamma's' response, "It's not a movie."
I turned around and sneaked a peek, the culprit was around four-years old and looking perplexed. I smiled.

Diana Nemiroff opened her last exhibition as director of the Carleton University Art Gallery (CUAG) on May 7.
An Embarrassment of Riches: The Collection in Focus, was co-curated with Sandra Dyck, and showcased pieces from the collection CUAG has acquired over the past six years during Nemiroff's mandate as director. It displayed pieces that the public would not otherwise have an opportunity to view.
The opening featured works from Jocelyne Alloucherie's ambiguous streetscapes to works like Kent Monkman's obscenely outlandish video, "Dance to Miss Chief."
Dyck introduced Nemiroff as guest speaker at the event.
"Your passion for and knowledge of art and your leadership and vision for the gallery and its collection are everywhere present in this exhibition," Dyck said.
Nemiroff said the exhibition showed how the gallery's collection grew and changed during her mandate, while offering "some indication of its future direction."
"Our original idea reflected in the title of An Embarassment of Riches was to hang works salon style, floor to ceiling, in order to make a visual argument for a new gallery that would give CUAG the space and visibility that it needs," Nemiroff said in her address.
Nemiroff has yet to lose her charm as she compared the choices made for the exhibition to getting dressed up for a party. She was the same witty curator who once appeared on CBC Newsworld, dressed as Newman's Voice of Fire during a time of hot debate over the purchase.
"That's where the word 'riches' comes into our title. We're not apologizing. It's not that kind of embarrassment. It's having a lot, almost too much of a good thing, and that's our situation" Nemiroff explained.
As part of the new direction envisioned by Nemiroff, the gallery will begin to put a stronger emphasis on purchases. In the past, CUAG has relied on donations such as those from Lorraine Gilbert, artist of Le Patrimoine. Gilbert said she donated because "Carleton is very important in supporting the arts in Ottawa – the visual arts."
Several pieces were bought with the aid of endowment funds and a grant that allowed the CUAG staff to select works that strengthened the already existing collection. Nemiroff said she appreciates donations, however purchases will give the freedom needed to focus the collection.
With many lasting contributions to the gallery Nemiroff said she looks forward to the three R's in retirement: rest, relaxation and research. She plans to write a book about the three female directors of the past forty years at the National Gallery.
She said she hopes Carleton's gallery will receive a new building in the future and looks forward to seeing the new director "hit her stride."
"I will miss the gallery in many ways but I feel that I will come back as a visitor so I won't leave it behind entirely," Nemiroff said.
"But I won't be sad to give up my very heavy work."

Making clean water accessible to all often seems like such a huge, insurmountable mountain of a goal — but a handful of intrepid celebrities have set out climb it — literally! Jessica Biel, Emile Hirsch, and many more well-known faces and names have signed up to climb Kilimanjaro this month to raise awareness about — and money for — the global clean water crisis.
Dubbed Summit on the Summit, this collective feat begins Jan. 7, 2010 when the activists begin their week-long, 50-mile climb. The eco-adventurers will be wearing GPS trackers, so you'll be able to see how your favorite celeb is doing by e-stalking them from afar on the nifty Summit on the Summit website, which will be constantly updated with photos, videos, and tweets.
Summit on the Summit was conceived by Grammy-nominated musician Kenna, who has a personal connection to the cause — His uncle died in childhood of a waterborne illness in Ethiopia. Kenna's worked to attract a diverse group of climbers, including attention-getting celebs, "influencers" like Alexandra Cousteau (grand-daughter of Jacques-Yves Cousteau), photographers, scientists, and educators who'll be sharing their knowledge about clean water issues throughout the climb.
Inspired to get involved? Check out Summit on the Summit's online toolkit to help raise awareness about clean water issues using social media or to write a letter or email to President Obama. You can also sponsor a foot of the climb on the Summit on the Summit website by donating directly to the cause. All the funds raised will go towards The Children's Safe Drinking Water Program, United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), and Water For People's Playpump Technology.

Why would Education Secretary Arne Duncan not directly address questions put to him about his second-term agenda at Jeb Bush's school reform summit in Washington D.C. Wednesday?
Here are some possible reasons:
1) White House officials don't want him (or other cabinet members) talking about their policy plans now because they want the focus to remain on budget negotiations with Congress.
2) Duncan doesn't have a second-term agenda yet. He and Obama's domestic advisers are still discussing where to put their focus in a second term. Early education and higher education are two safe bets, but nothing has coalesced yet into a detailed education agenda.
3) 1 and 2
4) Duncan is becoming secretary of state, as New York Times columnist Thomas Friedman recommended Wednesday in apparent half-jest. Duncan, answering a question at the summit, said there was a greater chance he would turn to exotic dancing than become secretary of state. He was referring to a rather crude article in the satirical newspaper The Onion that said he was becoming a male stripper. "The Onion is probably more accurate" than Friedman, Duncan joked. (The question is why Friedman thought to compare the Russian and Chinese authoritarian governments with the teachers' union when he wrote: "Well, anyone who has negotiated with the Chicago Teachers Union, as Duncan did when he was superintendent of the Chicago Public Schools before going to Washington, would find negotiating with the Russians and Chinese a day at the beach.")
5) Duncan isn't being asked to stay for a second term. This seemed far-fetched, as Duncan has said for months that he would love to stay, and a case could be made that Duncan is the most successful cabinet member in implementing administration policies with bipartisan support. And of no small importance, Obama enjoys competing with Duncan on the basketball court. Yet, stranger things have happened. In this scenario, Obama would want someone else to be the new face of a renewed emphasis on equity and other issues.
6) He just didn't feel like it.

A trillion public pages and 3.4 billion users, but the goal of connecting the entire world is still only 40 percent complete.
World-wide web inventor Dr. Tim Berners-Lee's foundation just released its first-ever Web Index, an overview of the web's availability and impact on countries around the globe. Sweden took top honors, followed closely by the U.S., UK, and Canada.
Sweden ranked high for overall impact of the web on the country, and freedom and access to the web. The downside for the Scandinavian country was the amount of content available online in Swedish — for obvious reasons.
The United States ranked a little lower for social, economic, and political impacts, but shone on web content and web use, as did the UK and Canada. Again, language has a huge impact.
The downside for the U.S. is the number of households connected to the internet, which is lower than countries such as Canada, Ireland, and Japan, and — unsurprisingly for techies — slower internet access speeds. Singapore and Iceland are among the top countries in that category.
(It is, after all, easier to wire up a small island than the bulk of a continent.)
The top countries, unsurprisingly, look like a who's who of first-world countries. But still only one in three people use the web globally, which drops to one in six in Africa.
In addition, 30 percent of countries have moderate to severe government restrictions on access to the web, including familiar names such as China, which prohibits anonymity online, filters the web, and censors web content. Pakistan, Egypt, and Ethiopia are even lower on the rankings for web freedom.
In a statement, Dr. Tim Berners-Lee said that "Growing suppression of free speech, both online and offline, is possibly the single biggest challenge to the future of the Web."
The report highlighted India, which is a country with strong technological growth, but also a long way to go. While the overall internet population is only 121 million out of 1.2 billion, 200 million new internet users are expected to come online in the next two years.
Entrepreneurs take note!

CLAREMONT >> People of all ages cupped tiny paper bowls and sampled pies entered in the Pie Baking Contest at the Claremont Depot while a folk band played music in the background.
This was the second time the Claremont Pie Festival and Village Fair has been held in the city and the warmer weather encouraged people to slip on their sandals and don their sun hats.
The festival, sponsored by the Claremont Chamber Village Marketing Group in partnership with I Like Pie Bake Shop, also had a Pie Eating Contest, an Apron Parades and Contest, pie-making demos and a Pie Recipe Card Hunt, where recipes were hidden in various village businesses for people to find.
The winner of this year's Pie Making Contest was a peanut butter-inspired pie by Patricia Lapiezo called "It's all about the Peanut Butter," featuring a Nutter Butter cookie and peanut granola crust with cream cheese, chocolate and peanut butter filling in different layers.
"Everyone becomes a kid again," said organizer Annika Corbin, owner of I Like Pie.

Brett Kimberlin Says W.J.J. Hoge is "Nuttier Than a Fruitcake"(Photoshop, Satire)
My latest Photoshop. Lately Brett Kimberlin has been claiming in his court filings that his legal opponent, W.J.J. Hoge, is "nuttier than a fruitcake." Yeah right. If you are unfamiliar with Brett Kimberlin, he is a felon who dealt drugs and who was convicted of setting bombs in and around Speedway, Indiana back in the 70's. His latest activities include filing numerous frivolous lawsuits against bloggers who criticize his past and present misdeeds. One of his more determined legal opponents is Mr. Hoge, who is suing Kimberlin for malicious prosecution. Mr. Hoge is the man on the right below.

To put it plainly, things are not going how I expected when Nibbles got home. But that's horses, isn't it?
Nibbles has developed an upper respiratory infection that didn't go away and required veterinary intervention. She has yet to develop a fever but she's on antibiotics and banamine. She also got a shot of something which the name of escape me but it is supposed to boost her immune system. She was supposed to have 72 hours off from any work at all which she had. The runny nose and deep cough are improved but not gone. Anything more than a walk causes her to cough quite hard. So what I was hoping would be quick has now been lingering for more than a week. Horses.
The post-injury repercussions are ongoing. In fact, I've begun to accept that this is in fact a chronic hip issue and we will at least be dealing with it for months if not years to come. We are into the 6th week since the injury occurred, two chiropractic visits and two massage sessions. She's been lunged maybe four times just to see where we are at. The second massage session happened Monday while I was at work and, while I have the write up, I am talking to the therapist this evening on the phone. The gist of things was, well, she's not worse. In some areas, there is less soreness but only marginally. She also reported that she needs to be adjusted by the chiropractor again for her right hip. This would be the third adjustment in 6 weeks which to me is telling us something – that she cannot hold the adjustment. At the walk and trot, she is sound. She cannot physically canter to the right. She will crossfire behind for a few strides then nearly fall. Horses.
I'm not getting back on her yet. If she cannot walk, trot and canter on the lunge I do not think it is prudent to be riding her. Sure, I could probably get on and walk around but in my mind, my time is better spent doing intentional rehab from the ground. Massage will help. Things like backing up, cat stretches (where they tuck their pelvis), and ground poles (eventually cavaletti) will help. I don't know when the chiropractor will help again (ie. she can retain the adjustment) and I do not have the $$$$ to throw at diagnosing exactly what has happened (ie. extensive diagnostics in the clinic that will likely be inconclusive according to my vet).
I will continue to massage and rehab which I have been doing for three weeks now. Ultimately, I don't know what the future will hold or what timetable we are looking at. This may be a case of let her be a pasture puff for a while then reevaluate.
I'm sad. I've fluctuated between angry and disappointed. We are investigating small claims court as the vet bills have continued to mount but it may not be worth the time/effort. She was not insured before the accident. I'm slowly accepting the new reality that I don't have a horse to ride/train for now. Hopefully time will heal all wounds. On the positive side, we love the new barn and not riding means I don't need a new saddle immediately… Horses.

I made a 2nd Twisted Log Cabin quilt, again using my hand dyed gradated fabrics, but this time with a BLACK and grey background. My original TWISTED LOG CABIN quilt post is still my most popular post on my whole blog! Unfortunately though, that quilt is ruined because I used a yellow chalk to mark quilting lines and it would NOT come out in the washing machine. =c(
I can't believe I haven't uploaded a photo of this quilt yet!!! I still haven't had a chance to get a decent photograph of it, but today it is raining, so an indoor photo will have to suffice . . for now.
The back of the quilt looks cool too. But now it was time for the hard part - pulling out all the paper! Here are some photos of me pulling out some of the paper pieces.
In the borders/outer black areas, I did a very tight feather motif. I actually DON"T like what I did in this area as much. . .BUT. . It is a very dense quilting design. . . almost TOO dense I think. I feel that if I made the outer feathers a bit fatter I would have been more satisfied ;c)

If you've been wondering about Doctor Who too intimidated to jump in, I get that. However, the next few days you've got an opportunity to dip your toe with the holiday coming up. For years they've been making Christmas specials with mixed results. There are two, however, that are, in my opinion brilliant.
Episode 213 "A Christmas Carol"
It's a familiar story with a Doctor Who twist and a great performance by Michael Gambon.
Episode 225 "The Doctor, the Widow, and the Wardrobe"
The Doctor returns a favor and takes care of a family in need in his own special way.
These episodes stand alone and I'd like to think you can enjoy them even if you've never watched a lick of Doctor Who in your life. They're both currently available on Netflix. I didn't link these show descriptions on purpose. You just need to watch them. Every year I wrap presents while watching these two episodes and it fixes me right up.

While I am not sure if "j" was joking or not, I figured it may be prudent to respond. So often we make assumptions that just aren't valid and I am always the one saying, "don't assume anything!"
So first, a definition:
departing the text (v): requires an action or actions in which the reader and/or audience take a mind trip, in this case when reading. These mind trips are best used for savoring language, humor, and for battling angst and idleness. It requires taking a moment and relating what is read (or said or viewed) to past memories and experiences, in an effort to get just a little bit more out of it.
Please note the background to this blog. It's intention is to simulate the above definition visually!
So, dear readers, with this definition in mind, below is a beginner's manual, if you will, on how to best depart the text when reading aloud. Note, that you can and should substitute the word "reading" with "viewing" and "listening" when appropriate. All are most highly recommended. Also note that these directions have been written for reading aloud with your child, but feel free to improvise at will.
1. Select a book. Selecting books to read to your child can be a tough. My recommendation is select a book with rich illustrations/photographs or with compelling text that your child is already familiar with. While you can also select a 'new' book, experience has shown me that often kids are anxious to hear what happens next in a story they aren't yet familiar, with and so are not as eager to depart the text.
[Note: Don't push departing the text. If they don't want to, just wait for another opportunity OR depart the text after reading the story.]
2. Select a comfy spot to read. Comfort is essential! Maybe you want to cuddle, or just find a place that is cozy and induces mind wandering. Fluffy pillows or a nice warm lap are both recommended. Opus' bunny jammies were a nice touch in Goodnight Opus, but you may not want to depart the text at bedtime (see note).
[Note: I would not depart the text at bedtime as it will stimulate attention, memory and problem solving all of which are not necessarily desirable when you want the kids to go to sleep so you can get on with your life.]
3. Choosing when and how to depart: My mind naturally wanders and so departing the text is a knee-jerk reaction for me. My advice here is to relax and as you come across an illustration with interesting detail, or text that reminds you of something your child can relate to and have fun talking about, depart! You can depart with word definitions too, but they are not nearly as fun as departing with rich detail or something to think about. Berkeley Breathed books are rife with detail in the illustrations and these were favorite 'departing' books in my family.
4.Departing doesn't just mean talking. While "departing the text" often means talking about something interesting, it doesn't have to be. It could involve singing, dancing, and banging out a beat. It always involves brainstorming and creativity.
Examples of singing and dancing:
Abiyoyo by Pete Seeger comes with music for the Abiyoyo song.
Tacky the Penguin by Helen Lester has great parts to sing and cheer.
Where the Wild Things Are by Maurice Sendak has two pages to rumpus.
4. Frequency of Departures: This is totally your call. It will depend on how much time you have for reading and departing. It also depends on how long your child can sit. Know, however, that the more you do this and the longer you do it, the longer you are increasing your child's attention span and ability to sit.
5. Have fun. The main thing is to have fun enriching the reading experience and your time together.
So, please let me know how this works out for you, and let me know what your favorite read aloud books are for departing the text. Happy travels to all!

A cursory and curious listing of books and literatrivia.
A great article in Salon explaining why it's a problem that "successful" authors don't explain where their money comes from: 'Sponsored' by my husband
I haven't had the luxury of a 'sponsoring' spouse, but I have been lucky in always having a reliable full-time job that allows me enough time to also write books. (Hence my less-than Burgess-like output.)
What do you think, should authors be more up-front about this?

Home may be where the heart is, but the Utah Brewers Cooperative is beginning to feel the love elsewhere.
In the 14 states where it distributes outside of its home market, the company, comprised of Wasatch Brewery and Squatters Craft Beers, saw 2014 sales surge by 73 percent.
That figure towers over the 11 percent growth that the company achieved in Utah. Squatters founder Peter Cole says the difference is due to the company's already strong foothold in the state.
"Eleven percent is somewhat tame by current standards, but I think it's a pretty good increase for us where we're in a market where we're incredibly well established in and have penetration in," he said. "We're trying to do a really good job of deepening our presence and penetration in the states that we're in rather than just taking on additional states."
Formed by Wasatch and Squatters — which had previously operated independent of one another — in 2000, the company started really growing its out-of-state expansion about three years ago, Cole said, after first going out of state in 2002.
In all, the company, which sold a majority interest in 2012 to Boston-based Fireman Capital Partners, closed out the year, with sales growing 18 percent overall, to 52,000 barrels. Cole estimates a 50-50 split in sales between the two brands.
Despite the recent surge into new territories, the company, which spent its first quarter century selling mostly in Utah, isn't rushing to cover the map.
"It's not our intention to be in every state," said Cole.
There are plans, however, to return to Idaho and launch distribution in Oklahoma for the first time this summer.
Like many others, Wasatch and Squatters rode the wave of the IPA in 2014, as the top selling Ghostrider White IPA, a Wasatch branded beer, and Squatters Hop Rising Double IPA were the primary drivers of growth.
Next week the company plans to announce the release of a rye IPA dubbed Takeout — an ode to curling vernacular. Early projections peg the company growing 34 percent in 2015, to 70,000 barrels.
"We're poised for growth. In 2014 we improved efficiencies, added fermentation tanks and focused on people, doubling our crew," said Greg Schirf, founder of Wasatch. "There's a confidence we can reach our goals with existing capacities."

View from India: Rural regions are on the rise
Rural India and tier cities are increasingly becoming hotspots for IT investment and development in Karnataka, India's IT and Knowledge Capital.
Software Technology Parks of India (STPI) along with the state government of Karnataka (GoK) will open a second centre in Davangere in Karnataka. "With this, there will be five STPI centres in Karnataka. IT Exports from all the STPI units in the country is around Rs 3 lakh crores [£35bn]; of this the STPI units from Karnataka have contributed about 40 per cent. STPI units from tier II cities have contributed Rs 4,000 crores [£465m] to IT exports," said Mr Omkar Rai, director general, STPI, at India's flagship IT and electronics event BengaluruITE.biz. This year's event, which is themed as 'Define the Next', has chalked out various strategies to digitise all parts of Karnataka.
In order to bring rural Karnataka under the ambit of digital governance, GoK plans to launch Wi-Fi service in 11 Gram Panchayats in collaboration with Karnataka State Electronics Development Corporation Limited (KEONICS). Gram Panchayats are the local self-government institution at the village level whose head is the focal point of contact between government officers and the village community.
"National optic-fibre network will be laid out in these Gram Panchayats. Subsequently, residents of these villages will get access to high-speed Wi-Fi networks. The impact of this digital inclusion will be immense and will extend to last mile connectivity. Digital inclusion will provide an online marketplace to the village folk," added Siddaramaiah, Chief Minister of Karnataka.
The event also stressed the need to promote micro, small and medium enterprises and start-ups in tier II and III cities. "In the next five years, Karnataka intends to encourage 20,000 start-ups. A sum of Rs 400 crore will be allocated towards this project," explained Mr Priyank Kharge, Minister for IT, BT and Tourism.
There's also a move towards re-skilling initiatives in areas like automation to help engineers fine-tune their skills. Overall the accent is on investment and improvement. "Invest in Karnataka and innovate in Karnataka, as the future of India will be made here. Already Karanataka is home to over 400 R&D units. While Bangalore is already an established brand, it's time IT companies looked at the tier cities of Karnataka," said Mr RV Deshpande, Minister for LMI (large and medium scale industries) and Infrastructure Development, GoK, optimistically.
If the future lies in tier cities, issues related to connectivity and infrastructure need to be addressed. Elevated roads are part of the forthcoming infrastructure development plans. Other tangible benefits include the development of airports in tier cities like Belgaum and Hubli.
Notwithstanding that, the state is investing in the health of its citizens. One such effort is a government-led initiative titled Grand Challenge Karnataka, which aims to promote new technologies or innovations that can offer solutions to some of the prevalent health problems in the state. Grand Challenge, Karnataka aims to channelise innovations for social impact and in the process support the establishment and growth of start-ups.
With out-of-the box thinking, technology is being tapped for creating a social impact. Take the case of rural gender inequality. This year GoK has launched Chetana, a talent-promotion tech-enabled programme for the girl child. In its first phase, 356 girls from government schools across Karnataka, who have topped the Standard X exam, have participated in a five-day residential camp at the Infosys Development Centre in Mysore. The Chetana Scholars were each presented a laptop. Besides being technologically empowered, Chetana Scholars will be hand-held for two years. GoK has signed an MoU with Samsung India for Project Chetana, to promote computer and digital education to underprivileged girl students of government schools and rural areas of the state for three years. In the current financial year, Samsung will donate 400 tablets as a CSR (corporate social responsibility) activity.
No surprise that BengaluruITE.biz has attracted a sizeable number of global investors, which has led to the signing of more than one Memorandum of Understanding (MoU). One such MoU is between The Hague, Netherlands and the Government of Karnataka for collaboration in the fields of technology for genetic research, start-ups, cyber security and elderly care. Statistics indicate that citizens over 60 years of age account for about 25 per cent of the population.
The next wave of growth in the information technology and electronics sectors is expected to be driven through digital disruption. It's understandable that cntres of excellence (CoE) will be established in the state for the first time in new and key sectors. The upcoming CoEs in verticals like aerospace, big data sciences, animation and cyber security will focus on R&D and training.BengaluruITE.biz is organised by the Department of Information Technology, Biotechnology and Science and Technology, Government of Karnataka, in association with Software Technology Parks of India (STPI) Bengaluru, with the support of national industry associations like NASSCOM, IESA, TIE and ABAI.

You guys. You guys. Y'all…
I am SO thrilled to bring you this long-awaited Member Spotlight! Erica was kind enough to send me all of this wonderful information weeks ago – but I was so caught up in running the dull ol' business side of things that I didn't get a chance to get this up. But here she is….
Erica Bowton is a newborn, child and family photographer in Nashville, TN.
Her passion, and her gift, is turning photographs into art.
She is one of my very favorite photographers. I can't recall a photo of hers that I didn't immediately just gush over. Her photos have soul. They're creative to the point of magical. I know my way around Photoshop like the next gal, but her pictures make me "How did she do that???" The colors and tones and details…So good. I truly admire her talent.
I'm also super grateful to Erica for being a "beta-tester" for HubHack, all the way back starting in August. We had a small test group, but their feedback was so critical in helping me improve this little idea into what it is now. (Ok, so it's not Apple, but it's a far cry from where it started!)
Enough talk, let's do this.
You probably remember this amazing picture. It was posted on October 22nd. As of this writing, it's gained 1036 ❤'s and 88 comments.
It was featured by:
@ChildrenofInstagram Week Favs
The Shooting Details
This photo was shot with a Nikon D800 using a Nikkor 85mm 1.8G at ISO 800, f3.5, 1/250.
Erica said that she shot this backlit and from down low. "Since I was shooting with an 85mm, I was pretty far away from my subject." (Amanda: I think that's a great tip! I learned a few years ago from Meg Bitton that she actually lays down on the ground, on her belly, when she shoots with a long lens. That angle makes for a beautiful composition, plus cool lens compression in the foreground. If Erica had shot this standing straight up, I'm not sure we'd see the detail of the legs and bottom of the boot. Plus, the sunlight would have been higher in the frame, possibly off the top of the frame. By getting low, she keeps the light in the frame, which definitely adds to the beauty of the scene.)
The Editing Details
"I started in ACR and first fixed the color – sometimes shots in the woods are too green for me, so I increased magenta overall. I increased blacks and lowered highlights. In HSL/Grayscale I lowered the Luminance on Greens so the leaves did not overpower the scene and took up the Luminance on orange to make the skin pop and the sun brighter." (Amanda: Huge tip right there, y'all. I do that same thing to nearly every photo. Always bump the orange luminance! Has a lovely effect on skin tones!)
"Then I ran VSCO's Agfa Vista preset (found in two VSCO packs, here and here) and brought into Photoshop. I used Exposure Gamma Correction to darken the image quite a bit." (Amanda: Wait, what? Gamma ray something something? Ok, y'all, I've never used that technique before, and there's not any recent information on it, according to my trusty google searches. Here's a decent description. But, I can tell you that I immediately went to Ps CC, and messed with an image to see how those sliders affected the image. Very cool.)
"I then inverted the layer and used a brush with low opacity to selectively darken the scene without darkening my subject. Next I desaturated the scene just slightly to give it a more moody feel. And finally I selected a color close to where the sun was peeking out, a light yellow, and used a feathered brush at low opacity to increase the sun effect through the trees. I used this same technique to add more light coming off the lantern. Then I applied an S shaped tones curve to decrease mid-shadows more and apply a matte effect. Voila."
Very very cool, Erica!!
If you'd like to learn more from Erica, don't miss out on Insta-Inspire, a star-studded photography retreat coming up this April 28th-30th in Stamford, CT.
(Y'all, please sign up for HubHack so I can afford to go? Pretty please?)
I also asked Erica to tell us more about what drew her to this image – why she chose it to edit and share…
"I liked this image because of the movement and the mood. I like how she's facing away from the camera – it adds an air of mystery. And I wanted her running towards the sun, like she's trying to get there. I purposely made the image much darker than originally shot to add to the moody, mysterious effect. I also knew I wanted a focus on the lantern and so I had to work in PS to make it stand out against the background. Compositionally, I positioned her in the rule of thirds with her red hair close to the intersection of two points. I always love to highlight hair moving. And I have her on the right running towards a path that disappears from the image, to give a sense of losing oneself on a path in the woods."
And when I asked her why she thought it was so loved and featured by so many hubs…
"I think it spoke to the season, FALL! And I think people love a little air of mystery. Plus that red hair!"
Yeah, I totally agree!
Here's the SOOC, thank you Erica!
And a side by side, cuz, why not?
You can find Erica's beautiful work…

Previous Part
Must go on...
At the start of the BNP's turn 5, a detachment of New Men appear on the northern edge of the map. Led by the grim looking one in black, they seem to have been given some special assignment. What could it be?
Oh, they're going to snipe the Mighty Mite...
Tragically, the squad of New Men manage to indeed shoot both the gunner and driver of the FSU tank.
It was their only armor on this side of the battlefield, and their best armor around period. What will they do now?
Another damned bombing run happens...
The BNP cavalry turn around and head for the Federalists again. They shoot down at the disrupted militiamen.
As they move up the Generalissimo sics his raptor on one of the stunned riflemen.
Barbarism fitting of one with a superiority complex...
Inside Ridgeway, a comboint swings the green door open. Fresh meat lay before it.
Luckily for the Federalists, they were ready; the beast is mowed down by reaction shots.
More comboints move through the fort.
The Fallschirmjagers on the west wall fire down on the monsters.
The green brother joins in with his automatic sniper rifle.
After forgetting to attempt a heroic last turn, Colonel Yagarin does one now as a reaction.
Using his rifle chain saw, he tries to break into the driver's compartment, throw out the pilot and commandeer the vehicle. Yet he hatch proves stronger than he had expected.
Once again another hover panzer tries to shoot Yagarin off of its brother tank. Yagarin eats both laser bolts but the sheer bulk of his armor rescues him.
Preparing to sweep aside the last few mercenaries on their left, the robots continue their advance on Brickingrad.
As the BNP's fifth turn draws to a close, they seem to be gaining the upper hand everywhere. The recently arrived New Men officer celebrates what he sees as impending victory.
"Ha ha! The revolution's success is at hand! The dawn of our race's mastery of known space will be just a few more triumphs away!"
As the New Men officer monologues his delusions of grandeur, a large black shape swoops over and past his squad.
"The hell was - OH CRAP!" screams the same officer as he turns around, looking for whatever just flew by.
Instead of any plane, all he sees is a Federalist walker squadron baring down on his position.
Quite a large force of the walkers just showed up to attempt to rescue Brickingrad.
"Uh..." is the carefully chosen last word of the New Men commander that sniped the Mighty Mite.
As it lumbers towards the BNP army, a voice erupts out of a microphone under the chin of the tallest walker.
"Greetings ya factory-made cockroaches, this is President Augustus Washington Caesar broadcasting from my newly fitted All-Terrain Ass-Tearer. Did your 'good massuh' not inform you that part of his grand plan involved you all getting shoa'd?"
"Now into the trashcan of history with you," declares the President as he ends his speech.
As it concludes, one of the larger walkers targets the nearest mass of BNP infantry with its main cannon.
The first large cannon shot obliterates the whole right flank of the BNP New Men in a massive, 10 inch radius explosion.
The second cannon shot, from one of the two-legged walkers, destroys the BNP strike team.
Lastly, the tall walker aims its main gun at the remaining mass of New Men in the distance.
Picture I initially forgot of the All-Terrain Ass-Tearer's cannon shot. All the remaining New Men regulars die or get tossed by a huge 'splosion.
After the walker blasts hit, a squad of 7 black-clad figures teleports into the aftermath.
It's Force Shade, an elite melee strike team drawn from the President's personal honor guard. They phase onto the battle field with laser blades and submachine guns.
Nearby, another Federalist commando unit warps into walker-devastated area.
This time it's Force Specter, a more conventional, rifle-focused squad tasked with supporting Force Shade.
Finally, after the arrival of the walkers and commandos, the President's personal shuttle, Tragedy One, lands amidst the battle.
The hatch slams open onto the sand. Is the president dropping in his personal guards?
Nope; the President of the whole Star Union is intervening personally! Atop his bull, he is fully armored and bears gold plated arms.
He says no words, just an angry roar as he launches from the shuttle hatch towards the enemy.
Caesar's charge is closely followed by his entourage of elite Red Guards. They're Tithes handpicked to serve him directly and given better, more expensive and customized equipment.
Their ceremonial form distinguishes them from everything else currently on the field.
The President immediately duels with the Generalissimo. They swing and block indecisively with each other.
Force Shade moves in and dice the BNP troops disrupted by the walker assault.
Even the ones still on horseback are attacked.
The cavalry charge is utterly halted.
While Force Shade rip apart the armored cavalrymen, Force Specter finish off the unarmored enemy survivors.
This Specter, wielding a drum-mag shotgun, utterly destroys his target.
Force Specter tries to kill all remaining enemies before they can react after their stunned state.
After another failed heroic feat, Colonel Yagarin finds himself alone in the middle of the battlefield nearby a comboint feasting on a dead body...
Hard to describe what happened here. Basically an explosive shot went haywire and accidentally killed...almost everyone on the south wall...
Inspired by the presence of their President, the militia troops left reorganize and charge the enemy.
Inside the fort, the mercenary mech rips up a section of wall.
The mech threw the wall section at one of the panzers, crushing its turret.
After throwing the wall, the mech lifts up a comboint in each hand.
It squeezes the things in its metal claws until they explode into showers of blood.
South of the fort, the last comboint from the explosion last turn struggles with the Berismirov captain while a trooper prepares to intervene.
With a burst of burp-gun slugs the Berismirov trooper guns down his commander's assailant.
Tragedy 1 takes off after its passengers disembark. It'll probably be used for airstrikes later on.
As Tragedy One flies off the robot fighter swoops in to intercept!
Before it can shoot at the shuttle, however, the Federalist stealth fighter comes to the rescue. It targets the same left wing that the police fighter had attacked earlier.
With its multiple automatic-fire laser cannons the stealth fighter is finally able to destroy the robot fighter.
Overwatch shot near the walkers.
With the addition of the walkers, the Federalists have swung the battle in their favor again.
Same as last go around: explosions, death, army dudes, big machines, weird monsters.
