All of above simply concludes most of my thoughts. For me, the most disappointing thing is the tasks that are copied off at most of first 3 legs, (not really paying attention to others) and based on the 4 first legs that I only watched so far (thanks to not-so-good Internet connection), lack of conflict between teams I say (Richard & Joey who seems antagonistic even gone in this leg ).Too peaceful is bad for your health, need a little drah-mah.
I don't understand why so many Aussies, both contestants and netizens on Facebook, hated Richard & Joey
Also, I don't like the idea of setting the finale location in the city where the contestants live.
Not hearing Ann Marie and Tracy laughter at the finale.

Forest Green Pinch Hit
The Pinch Hit is 3D printed from high quality PLA plastic making it lightweight, durable, non-toxic, and available in many different colors. The lid is secured to the base using a high-precision stainless steel screw that is tightly torqued into a brass insert so that no constant re-tightening is required.
A spring is fastened to the bottom of the hitter chamber and won't fall out. This is used to push the hitter into a concave area in the lid to lock it in place (with a click sound) when closed to prevent opening when not in use.
The design is an oval shape so it fits well in your hand but won't roll off of a table if laying on it's side. This also makes it take up less space so it takes up very little space in your pocket, fits easily into a pack of cigarettes, or any other small place you would like to keep it.
The Pinch Hit comes with a silver-colored aluminum metal hitter. It is anodized for protection from the elements and to give it a nice color finish. Replacement / Extra hitters are available as well.
Dimensions: 1 x .75 x 2.5 inches (Length x Width x Height)

WINNIPEG, Manitoba (AP) A night after getting pulled in a loss at Toronto, Ilya Bryzgalov was solid for the Flyers in a rare road win.
Bryzgalov made 24 saves and Brayden Schenn, Kimmo Timonen and Tye McGinn scored to give Philadelphia a 3-2 victory Tuesday night against Winnipeg and their second road win of the season.
``It's a very important two points for us,'' said Bryzgalov, who noted they have four more road games ahead in the next few days.
The veteran Russian goalie was benched in Monday's 5-2 loss to the Maple Leafs in Toronto after giving up four goals on 14 shots.
``All of us bounced back today and played very, very well,'' he said. ``Obviously we played last night and we came late (to Winnipeg) and they were rested and . . . came out full of energy, with a supportive defense, and wanted to probably make the result early in the game.
``But we survived the storm.''
Jakub Voracek had two assists for the Flyers.
Defenseman Braydon Coburn thought the Flyers came out flat.
``Any time you play back-to-back it's a tough situation but it's something that every team in the league has to deal with,'' Coburn said.
Andrew Ladd scored both goals for the Jets), the last in the final seconds. Winnipeg was coming off a 1-0 win in Ottawa on Saturday.
``It's a very important two points for us,'' said Bryzgalov, who noted they have four more road games ahead in the next few days.
The veteran Russian goalie had been pulled from Monday's 5-2 loss to the Maple Leafs in Toronto after giving up four goals on 14 shots.
Al Montoya recorded his first loss as a starter for the Jets. Ondrej Pavelec replaced Montoya in the third after what was reported as a lower-body injury for Montoya.
``Same old 40 minutes that we played well and we did things that we liked and then some inconsistencies in the other parts of our game that cost us,'' Pavelec said.
Ladd agreed there was a little desperation in the Jets' dressing room at this point, after playing a team they knew was tired.
``You've got to have the killer instinct to jump on them early and stay on them and not give them any life,'' Ladd said. ``I thought we had a great start but allowed them to creep their way back in the game.''
The Flyers took a 2-1 lead in the first, even though they were outshot 9-6 by the Jets.
Montoya didn't have much of a chance when Schenn redirected Voracek's pass right in front of the net on Philadelphia's second shot of the game at 8:07.
Winnipeg tied it up at 14:12, when Blake Wheeler fed Ladd just in front of the Flyers net and he squeezed one past Bryzgalov's short side.
A late cross-checking penalty to defenseman Zach Redmond was costly, with Timonen slamming the puck down a clear path between the faceoff circles that Montoya wasn't fast enough to block.
There was no scoring in the second, although Winnipeg again outshot the Flyers 10-6 for the period. There was also a short scrap between Jets defenseman Mark Stuart and McGinn.
McGinn then redirected Vortacek's pass into Winnipeg's net at the 4:17 mark from just outside the crease.
Ladd scored his final goal at 19:13 after the Jets pulled their goaltender.
The Jets went 0 for 3 on the power play.
It was the first game Winnipeg defenseman Dustin Byfuglien has played since the Jets visited Montreal. He got a massive cheer when his name was announced in the starting lineup.
Notes: The Jets went into the game with the most productive defense in the NHL at 34 points, led by top-scorer Tobias Enstrom with 13 points.

text: Nevada Rancher Fighting Federal Cattle Roundup April 1, 2014 03:09 AM Tweet TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By Associated Press Email A turf battle between a southern Nevada rancher and federal land managers has escalated after authorities said they plan to round up cattle that have been allowed to graze for decades on remote public land northeast of Las Vegas. Cliven Bundy of Bunkerville said Friday he watched a caravan of federal Bureau of Land Management agents and hired hands move equipment past his melon farm and onto the public land, and said he planned to keep fighting to keep grazing in the Gold Butte area. He has vowed, in his words, to do "whatever it takes" to keep the U.S. Bureau of Land Management from impounding the hundreds of cattle grazing on rangeland where his family has lived since 1877. "Tell them Bundy's ready," he told Las Vegas Review-Journal. The BLM posted notice Tuesday that officials plan to collect "illegal trespass cattle" without further notice from more than 900 square miles of hardscrabble land about 80 miles northeast of Las Vegas. The scenic but harsh area, located south of Mesquite and east of the Virgin River, is dotted with mesquite, yucca, dry brown cheat grass and stunning rock formations. The arid hills are crisscrossed by washboard dirt roads and controlled by the BLM and National Park Service. The area includes 288,000 acres of BLM land, 34,000 acres of National Park Service land in the Lake Mead National Recreation Area and 17,000 acres controlled by the federal Bureau of Reclamation. Conservationists have called for making the Gold Butte area a national monument. The last time federal authorities announced plans to remove Bundy's livestock, in April 2012, he refused to budge. He represented himself and lost two federal court rulings since then, including an order last October by U.S. District Judge Larry Hicks prohibiting Bundy from physically interfering with any seizure or impound operation. Kirsten Cannon, a BLM spokeswoman in Las Vegas, said Friday that the bureau and park service were finally moving to resolve the long-standing dispute. Details of the roundup haven't been announced, but there won't be any further notice, the BLM posting said. "BLM and NPS have made repeated attempts to resolve this matter administratively and judicially," the notice said. "Neither the court orders nor agency communications have gained the voluntary removal of the trespass cattle from federal lands." Cannon said Bundy also owes more than $300,000 in accumulated trespass and administrative fees. Bundy's dispute with the government dates to 1993, when land managers cited concern for the federally protected desert tortoise and capped Bundy's herd on the 158,666-acre Bunkerville allotment at 150 animals. Bundy protested by withholding his monthly grazing fees of about $2 per animal, but kept using the range. The BLM canceled his grazing permit in 1994. A federal court in 1998 ordered him to remove the animals, and federal authorities in 1999 officially closed the Bunkerville allotment to cattle. A BLM helicopter survey last December tallied 568 cattle in a 90-mile swath of federal land in the Gold Butte area. Officials think there could be more, because a March 2011 aerial survey tallied 903 animals, including more than 300 in areas the bureau said couldn't be reached by teams on the ground. Rob Mrowka, a scientist with the Tucson, Ariz.-based Center for Biological Diversity, called the ongoing dispute an outrage and the cattle a threat to the tortoises. "It's high time for the BLM to do its job and give the tortoises and the Gold Butte area the protection they need and are legally entitled to," Mrowka told the Review-Journal. Officials think more than 1 in 3 of the cattle roaming the range today may be unmarked descendants of Bundy's branded animals. Bundy says they're all his property. He sent out letters this week declaring a "range war emergency," demanding protection from state and local officials and threatening legal action against contract cowboys the government hires for a roundup. "I'm protecting my rights as a rancher, and I'm also protecting the rights of all Clark County residents to access and policing power over this land," he said. Nevada Department of Agriculture spokesman Bob Conrad said the state's only role would be to provide brand inspectors to examine animals to try to establish ownership, as required by Nevada law and federal court order. Unbranded cattle could become state property to be sold at auction, Conrad said. The Nevada Cattlemen's Association planned to discuss the dispute at a special meeting next week, association President Ron Torell said. Clark County Sheriff Doug Gillespie said he met with Bundy several times since 2012, including several weeks ago when it became clear that no compromise would stop federal action. Gillespie said the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department, which patrols rural Clark County, has no role in a roundup of cattle on federal land under the supervision of federal law enforcement agents. "I hope calmer heads will prevail like they normally do," the sheriff said. "You're talking about rounding up cattle. You have to keep that in perspective." Back to news

Hartsville, S.C. – An 11-2 run to start the second half gave the Royals of Queens University all the lead they would need to give Queens a 72-56 win over the Coker Cobras in men's Conference Carolinas basketball action on Saturday afternoon.
Queens (5-5 overall, 2-2 Conf. Carolinas) was led by Daniel Bailey (Irmo, S.C.) with 18 points and eight rebounds, with Reggie Hopkins (Gastonia, N.C.) netting 14 points and Andre Lockhart (St. James, Barbados) added 10 points and five rebounds.
Coker's (5-5, 2-2) Mason Ambler (Atlanta, Ga.) led all scorers with his eighth double-double of the season, scoring 21 points and pulling down 14 rebounds, while also shooting a perfect 11-for-11 from the free throw line. Vatrick Thompson (Columbia, S.C.) was the only other Cobra in double figures with 15 points, while Liam Kyle (Cleveland, Ohio) had eight points and six rebounds.
What started out as a very fast paced back and forth game in the first half of play, quickly turned into a Royals romp. At the half Coker trailed by just one point, but a quick run to start the second half and clutch free throw shooting down the stretch secured the Queens victory.
The Royals out-shot the Cobras from the floor, 44.9 percent to 36.2 percent, while Coker held the slight advantage from the charity stripe; 86.4 percent to 81.8 percent.
Both teams return to the floor to continue Conference Carolinas play on Monday night, with Coker traveling to Pfeiffer University and Queens heading to St. Andrews Presbyterian College. Both games are scheduled for 7:30 p.m. tip-offs.

Apache Mailet API
What is it?
The Mailet API is an API designed to facilitate the development and deployment of a configurable email processing applications.
How does it work?
An application providing a mailet container, such as Apache Jakarta James (James), provides a container into which users can deploy Matchers (JamesMailetMatchers) and Mailets (JamesMailetMailets).
Matchers are configurable filters which filter mail from a processor pipeline into Mailets based upon fixed or dynamic criteria.
Mailets are classes which define an action to be performed. This can cover actions as diverse as local delivery, client side mail filtering, switch mail to a different processor pipeline, aliasing, archival, list serving, or gateways into external messaging systems (SMS for example). The James project includes a number of portable mailets (eg Forward, Redirect) and matchers (eg HostIs, InSpammerBlacklist, RecipientIs, SenderIs, SubjectStartsWith )for common tasks. See James for more details.
Users can typically configure the behaviour of an application by defining processor pipelines and the matcher/mailet pairs in the processors.
Developers can implement their own bespoke functionality by writing new portable matchers and mailets.
API documentation
Javadocs are here http://jakarta.apache.org/james/mailet/index.html
Mailet discussions are hosted on the jakarta james mailing lists see http://jakarta.apache.org/site/mail.html
The current release of the Mailet API is version 2. Mailet API version 3 (JamesMailetV3) will be part of James v3 (JamesV3).

Following specific checking and maintenance guidelines as well as conducting routine inspections will help ensure the prolonged life and increased reliability of a dry-type transformer.
Because dry-type transformers are used so extensively in industrial, commercial, and institutional power distribution systems, their maintenance should be a top priority. As such, you should have a thorough knowledge of their maintenance requirements, which are similar to liquid-filled units in many ways but differ enough to warrant separate coverage. The following detailed discussion will help you attain the required knowledge.
Dry-type transformer classifications
Dry-type transformers are classified as ventilated, nonventilated, and sealed units, with each type detailed in the ANSI/IEEE C57.12.01-1989 standard, General Requirements for Dry-Type Distribution and Power Transformers. Because there are significant differences among these three groups and because some of these differences have an impact on maintenance procedures, it's important that you know the key aspects of each transformer type.
A ventilated dry-type transformer is constructed so that ambient air can circulate through vents in the surrounding enclosure and cool the transformer core and coil assembly.
A nonventilated transformer operates with air at atmospheric pressure in an enclosure that does not allow ambient air to circulate freely in and out.
A sealed transformer is self-cooled, with the enclosure sealed to prevent any entrance of ambient air. These transformers are filled with an inert gas and operate at a positive pressure.
While construction varies per transformer type, inspection and maintenance guidelines are somewhat similar.
Maintenance guidelines
As with liquid-filled transformers, a maintenance program for dry-type units should include routine inspections and periodic checks. Acceptance tests should be performed when new units are delivered as well as when the need is indicated by review of maintenance data and operating history. The frequency for these inspections and checks will depend on the transformer classification as well as the operating environment, load conditions, and requirements for safety and reliability.
A valuable reference source for maintenance procedures is the ANSI/IEEE C57.94-1982 Standard, Recommended Practice for Installation, Application, Operation, and Maintenance of Dry-Type General Purpose Distribution and Power Transformers, which covers many of the maintenance aspects that should be considered.
The frequency of periodic checks will depend on the degree of atmospheric contamination and the type of load applied to the transformer.
This is especially true for nonsealed transformers since ambient air and any contaminant dust or vapors it carries can contaminate the internal, electrically-stressed components. As routine inspections are made, the rate of accumulation of dust and moisture on the visible surfaces should serve as a guide for scheduling periodic maintenance. Thus, ventilated transformers will require more frequent periodic checks than nonventilated units. Sealed transformers will require less frequent periodic checks than either type, because of their construction.
Routine checks and resultant maintenance
Neither nonventilated nor ventilated dry-type transformers have indicating gauges, as are needed on liquid-filled transformers, to monitor temperature, pressure, and liquid level. Thus, routine checks are more subjective and consist mainly of visual and audible observations.
Sealed dry-type transformers do have pressure gauges and these should be routinely checked. Also, a complete checklist should be developed for each transformer and should include essential observations, with data recorded and preserved. A program recommending various type checks and their frequency is shown in the Table on page 86.
Dust accumulation. Visual inspections should cover louvers, screens, and any visible portions of internal coil cooling ducts for accumulated dust. Do not remove any panel or cover unless the transformer is deenergized. If dust accumulation is excessive, you should deenergize the transformer in accordance with established safety procedures, remove its side panels, and vacuum away as much of the dust as possible. Then, clean with lint free rags or soft bristled brushes. Do not use any solvents or detergents as these may react with the varnishes or insulating materials and lead to accelerated deterioration. They may also leave residues that will enhance future accumulation of dust and various contaminates.
If dust accumulation remains in inaccessible areas after vacuuming, you can blow dry air into the unit to clear ducts. You should use air or nitrogen that has a dew point of -50 [degrees] F or less and regulate the pressure at or below 25 psi.
Checks during deenergization. The following items should be done while the transformer is deenergized.
* When access panels are removed for cleaning, all insulation surfaces should be inspected for signs of discoloration, heat damage, or tree-like patterns etched into the surface that are characteristic of corona damage. The core laminations should be inspected for signs of arcing or over-heating.
* All accessible hardware should be checked for tightness.
* Isolation dampeners between the base of the transformer and the floor should be checked for deterioration.
* Cooling fans or auxiliary devices should be inspected and cleaned.
If the transformer is deenergized long enough so that it can cool to ambient temperature, make sure that the unit is kept dry. If the ambient air is very humid, you may have to heat the transformer with electrical strip heaters to avoid condensation of moisture on the winding insulation. This is very important because a large percentage of dry-type transformer failures occur after extended shutdowns, when the insulation is allowed to cool and moisture in the ambient air condenses on the insulation.
Checks with transformer energized. The following items should be done with the transformer energized.
* Pressure readings should be checked and recorded for transformers with sealed [TABULAR DATA OMITTED] tank construction. The ambient temperature, time of day, and loading conditions should be recorded along with the pressure.
* Audible sound should be monitored, concentrating on the sound's characteristics as well as its level. Any noticeable change in the sound level or characteristics should be recorded. Significant changes could be indicative of loose clamping hardware, defective vibration isolators, over excitation, or possibly damage to the primary winding insulation.
* Proper ventilation should be verified. Although few dry-type transformers are equipped with temperature gauges, the effectiveness of ventilation can be verified by measuring the air temperature at the inlet (which should be near the floor) to an enclosed room and then measuring either the ambient temperature of the air in the enclosed space or the temperature of the air at the exhaust (which should be in the upper part of the room). The average temperature of the room should not increase more than 40 [degrees] F over the incoming air and the exhaust should not increase more than 60 [degrees] F. Additional details on ventilation requirements will be found in ANSI/IEEE C57.94.
Periodic tests
You should conduct periodic testing as often as needed. The frequency is usually dependent on the transformer's operating environment. If routine inspections indicate that cleaning is required, periodic tests should be made at the shutdown for the cleaning operation, after the transformer is thoroughly cleaned. The nominal period between scheduled tests is one year but this may be longer or shorter, depending on the observed accumulation of contamination on the cooling vents.
Sealed units should be opened only when the need is indicated by loss of pressure, operating abnormalities, or at intervals as recommended in the manufacturer's instructions. With these units, periodic tests should be confined to external inspections of the bushings and the enclosures. Also, readings at external terminals should be taken of insulation resistance (IR), power factor (PF), and turns ratio.
Section 6 (Testing) of ANSI/IEEE C57.94 states that induced or applied voltage tests also may be done periodically. These are overvoltage tests; as such, they are not necessarily nondestructive, even when skilled operators use the proper equipment. Damage may occur to the insulation, which would otherwise be serviceable at normal operating voltage levels. Therefore, these tests should not be considered as appropriate maintenance tests, which are by definition nondestructive.
IR testing. The IR of each winding should be measured using a megohmmeter in accordance with Sections 10.9 through 10.9.4 of the ANSI/IEEE C57.12.91-1979 Standard, Test Code for Dry-Type Distribution and Power Transformers. The transformer should be deenergized and electrically isolated with all terminals of each winding shorted together. The windings not being tested should be grounded. The megohmmeter should be applied between each winding and ground (high voltage to ground and low voltage to ground) and between each set of windings (high voltage to low voltage). The megohm values along with the description of the instrument, voltage level, humidity, and temperature should be recorded for future reference.
The minimum megohm value for a winding should be 200 times the rated voltage of the winding divided by 1000. For example, a winding rated at 13.2kV would have a minimum acceptable value of 2640 megohms ([13,200V x 200] / 1000). If previously recorded readings taken under similar conditions are more than 50% higher, you should have the transformer thoroughly inspected, with acceptance tests performed before reenergizing.
Turns ratio testing. The transformer turn ratio is the number of turns in the high voltage winding divided by the number of turns in the low voltage winding. This ratio is also equal to the rated phase voltage of the high voltage winding being measured divided by the rated phase voltage of the low voltage winding being measured.
Transformer turns ratio measurements are best made with specialized instruments that include detailed connection and operating instructions. ANSI/IEEE Standard C57.12.91 describes the performance and evaluation of these tests. The measured turns ratio should be within 0.5% of the calculated turns ratio. Ratios outside this limit may be the result of winding damage, which has shorted or opened some winding turns.
Insulation PF testing. Insulation PF is the ratio of the power dissipated in the resistive component of the insulation system, when tested under an applied AC voltage, divided by the total AC power dissipated. A perfect insulation would have no resistive current and the PF would be zero. As insulation PF increases, the concern for the integrity of the insulation does also. The PF of insulation systems of different vintages and manufacturers of transformers varies over a wide range (from under 1% to as high as 20%). As such, it's important that you establish a historic record for each transformer and use good judgment in analyzing the data for significant variations. ANSI/IEEE Standard C57.12.91 describes the performance and evaluation of insulation PF testing.
Acceptance testing
Acceptance tests (defined in Part 1, June 1994 issue, which concentrated on liquid-filled transformers) are those tests made at the time of installation of the unit or following a service interruption to demonstrate the serviceability of the transformer. This testing also applies to dry-type units. The acceptance tests should include IR testing, insulation PF measurement, and turns ratio testing, all as described under periodic tests. In addition, winding resistance measurements should be made and excitation current testing done. If you have a particular cause for concern, say a significant fault in the secondary circuit or a severe overload, you should make an impedance measurement and possibly an applied voltage test.
Winding resistance measurement. Accurate measurement of the resistance between winding terminals can give you an indication of winding damage, which can cause changes to some or all of the winding conductors. Such damage might result from a transient winding fault that cleared; localized overheating that opened some of the strands of a multistrand winding conductor; or short circuiting of some of the winding conductors.
Sometimes, conductor strands will burn open like a fuse, decreasing the conductor cross section and resulting in an increase in resistance. Occasionally, there may be turn-to-turn shorts causing a current bypass in part of the winding; this usually results in a decrease of resistance.
To conduct this test, you should de-energize the transformer and disconnect it from all external circuit connections. A sensitive bridge or micro-ohmmeter capable of measuring in the micro-ohm range (for the secondary winding) and up to 20 ohms (for the primary winding) must be used. These values may be compared with original test data corrected for temperature variations between the factory values and the field measurement or they may be compared with prior maintenance measurements. On any single test, the measured values for each phase on a 3-phase transformer should be within 5% of the other phases.
Excitation on current measurement. The excitation current is the amperage drawn by each primary coil, with a voltage applied to the input terminals of the primary and the secondary or output terminals open-circuited. For this test, you should disconnect the transformer from all external circuit connections. With most transformers, the reduced voltage applied to the primary winding coils may be from a single-phase 120V supply. The voltage should be applied to each phase in succession, with the applied voltage and current measured and recorded.
If there is a defect in the winding, or in the magnetic circuit that is circulating a fault current, there will be a noticeable increase in the excitation current. There is normally a difference between the excitation current in the primary coil on the center leg compared to the that in the primary coils on the other legs; thus, it's preferable to have established benchmark readings for comparison.
Variation in current versus prior readings should not exceed 5%. On any single test, the current and voltage readings of the primary windings for each of the phases should be within 15% of each other.
Applied voltage testing. The applied voltage test is more commonly referred to as the "hi-pot test." This test is performed by connecting all terminals of each individual winding together and applying a voltage between windings as well as from each winding to ground, in separate tests. Untested windings are grounded during each application of voltage.
Although ANSI/IEEE C57.94 lists the applied voltage test as an optional pre-service or periodic test, this test should be used with caution as it can cause insulation failure. It should be regarded as a proof test to be conducted when there has been an event or pattern in the transformer's operating history that makes its insulation integrity suspect.
ANSI/IEEE C57.94 states that either AC or DC voltage tests are acceptable for applied potential testing but that the DC applied voltage should not exceed the rms value of the standard test level. AC voltage rms values are limited by C57.94 to 75% of the original test levels (these levels range from 2 to 4 times the operating voltage) for initial installation tests and 65% of the original test levels for routine maintenance tests. The original or factory test levels are specified in ANSI/IEEE C57.12.01 and the tests are described in ANSI/IEEE C57.12.91. You should review these standards carefully before conducting any applied potential tests. If the original factory test reports are available, you should consult them to determine the original factory test levels.
DC applied voltage tests are often conducted in the field because DC test sets are smaller and more readily available than AC applied voltage sets. With DC tests, the leakage current can be measured and is often taken as a quantitative measure. However, DC leakage current can vary considerably from test to test because of creepage across the complex surfaces between windings and between windings and ground.
The use of AC voltage is preferable since the transformer insulation structures were designed, constructed, and tested with the application of AC voltage intended.
Impedance testing. An impedance test may be useful in evaluating the condition of transformer windings, specifically for detecting mechanical damage following rough shipment or a service fault on the output side that caused high fault currents to flow through the transformer windings. Mechanical distortion of the windings will cause a change in their impedance. To maximize the effectiveness of this test, you should take a measurement during the transformer's initial installation to establish a benchmark value.
An impedance test is performed by electrically connecting the secondary terminals together with a conductor capable of carrying at least 10% of the line current and applying a reduced voltage to the primary windings. This is easily accomplished by applying a single-phase voltage to each phase in succession. The applied voltage is measured at the primary terminals and the current measured in each line.
You should record these values and then calculate the ratio of voltage to current for each phase. This ratio should be within 2% for each phase and should not vary more than 2% between tests. A variation of more than 2% indicates the possibility of mechanical distortion of the winding conductors, which should be investigated as soon as possible.
Forensic investigators continually encounter instances where transformers have failed following an extended period of proper maintenance. Some of these failures were unpredictable but many could have been prevented if available data had been carefully reviewed and results properly interpreted.
The final section of this article, scheduled for a future issue, will address the interpretation of maintenance records and how to use recorded data to identify trends that may indicate developing problems with any specific transformer.

A Strong Start for At-Risk Moms and Babies
By Christina Crowe and Matt Windsor
From the moment they are born, most babies in the United States have their health care looked after in some fashion. The health of the mothers who carry them for nine months, however, is often overlooked—especially by the mothers themselves, says Mario Drummonds, executive director and CEO of the Northern Manhattan Perinatal Partnership (NMPP).
Drummonds recently visited UAB to deliver the 2013 Ann Dial McMillan Endowed Lecture in Family and Child Health in the UAB School of Public Health. He shared lessons from his group's successful efforts to improve the health of mothers and infants in central Harlem. (Learn more about the NMPP's success and Drummond's call to action at UAB in this related article.) "Mom's health," Drummonds says, is "always secondary. Part of our job is to make her health, as well as the overall health of the household, primary."
Maternal and child health is a major challenge in Alabama. "High rates of premature birth, obesity, diabetes, hypertension, and substance abuse plague our state," says Joseph Biggio, M.D., professor of medicine and director of the UAB Division of Maternal and Fetal Medicine But thanks to a major grant from the federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, UAB can now offer intensive help to mothers and babies with the greatest needs.
Enhancing Care
The goal of the Strong Start for Mothers and Newborns initiative is to identify the best ways to prevent significant, long-term health problems for high-risk pregnant women and newborns enrolled in Medicaid or the Children's Health Insurance Program. In addition to UAB, 26 organizations across the United States are taking part in the Strong Start initiative.
Alabama's Medicaid Maternity Care Program currently does not provide non-medical social services to promote healthy living and reduce poor pregnancy outcomes. UAB's four-year, $730,000 Strong Start grant will address that gap by enhancing services offered at UAB clinics in and around Jefferson County. It includes enhanced screening for substance abuse, including illicit drugs as well as tobacco; social support for women with domestic issues such as income or domestic violence; screening for depression; and nutrition and dietary counseling.
As they enroll women in Strong Start, UAB's medical team has at times been taken aback by the stories they hear. "We always knew that our patients had many challenges, but I don't think we realized the magnitude of some of those challenges," Biggio says. "We feel like they are opening up a lot more now because someone is actually sitting down and taking the time to ask them about their lives to this level of detail. But they're also opening up because they know it's not just talk—that services are available for them."
A Healthy Home for Mom
The model adopted by UAB is known as the "maternity home," Biggio says. "If you think about most care that any patient gets, whether or not they're pregnant, it's fragmented. Your doctor may tell you to lose weight or quit smoking, but it's up to you to set that up."
Patients who choose to enroll in Strong Start—the goal is to enroll between 1,200 and 1,500 over the course of two years, Biggio says—will first get a comprehensive assessment of their needs. Next, "we educate the patient on why things like quitting smoking, eating healthy, and dealing with depression are important," he explains. "And then we make the resources available to these women."
Time for a Change
Each participant will get an individualized plan for education and implementation "that best meets her needs," Biggio says. And the team is optimistic that these plans will inspire long-term change. "Pregnancy is one of life's teachable moments," Biggio says. "The impact of any change is not just for the patient but for her child. Especially when we talk about things like substance abuse, it really lets us home in on the fact that smoking, for instance, is associated with fetal problems and stillbirth during pregnancy—and postnatally with respiratory issues, lung infections, and asthma.
"It's always hard to change any patient's behavior," Biggio says, "but pregnancy really is a unique opportunity."

North Carolina college students no longer have to worry about facing non-academic disciplinary charges from their universities without legal counsel.On Aug. 23, Gov. Pat McCrory, a Republican, signed a statewide bill that granted students in the state the right to an attorney in campus courts. Under the Students & Administration Act, students who attend North Carolina's public universities have the right to be represented by a licensed attorney or non-attorney advocate.The law is the first of its kind in the USA.Though the new rules cover students and student organizations facing disciplinary charges for violating the university's code of conduct, they do not extend to students accused of academic dishonesty or at schools that have implemented a student honor court."Students across America are regularly tried in campus courts for serious offenses like theft, harassment and even rape," said Robert Shibley, senior vice president for the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education (FIRE), in a news release. "Being labeled a felon and kicked out by your college carries serious, life-altering consequences. Because the stakes are so high, students should have the benefit of an attorney to ensure the hearing is conducted fairly and by the rules."FIRE, a non-profit education foundation aimed at preserving civil liberties on U.S. campuses, advocated for the legislation and worked with a bipartisan group of state legislators to put it in action. The act passed the North Carolina House of Representatives via a landslide 112-1 vote and was ultimately included in the Regulatory Reform Act of 2013, which passed the Legislature on July 26.Joe Cohn, the legislative and policy director for FIRE, says the strong legislative support was because lawmakers recognized that denying students the right to hire lawyers in campus disciplinary hearings left them without meaningful due process."It is growing impossible to ignore how unfair campus disciplinary hearings have become; the accused is denied representation while the cases against them are argued by deans, administrators and sometimes lawyers with decades of experience," Cohn wrote in an e-mail to USA TODAY. "Legislators from across the political spectrum understood that the stakes in these hearings are too high to allow students to face suspensions or expulsions for non-academic disciplinary charges without legal representation."For years, the state's K-12 students have had the right to legal representation when facing suspension or expulsion, but university policies prohibited students from having legal counsel present their case to administrators during disciplinary proceedings. Before the law, college students were allowed to rely on an attorney for advice and resources, but the students had to represent themselves and speak on their own behalf.It is unclear how the university systems will handle the issue of students who cannot afford representation, as universities are not obligated to appoint counsel to low-income students.Cohn is confident that low-income students will still benefit from the law, as it allows students to opt for representation by non-legal professionals to ensure that students who cannot afford a lawyer will not be left to represent themselves."Low-income students will (still) benefit from the right to hire attorneys because that opens up the door for the possibility of pro bono representation," Cohn wrote. "Moreover, student governments could use some of their considerable funding to contract with local attorneys to meet students' need for representation."Cohn hopes college students nationwide will soon be offered this same right. He says student access to legal representation will help level the playing field, as there are many students who may not be familiar with legal terms, leaving them unprepared for a courtroom proceeding."Hopefully, universities will welcome this law's passage and realize that fair processes benefit everyone," Cohn wrote. "Attorney involvement will help result in fair, reliable hearings procedures that follow a standardized set of rules, and that will benefit all parties involved."

Photo on left is my Grandfathers cousin Bill Friar Kent England, from his hat I was able to make out the letters HMS Bas, the only name that fits is the HMS Basilisk. From the style of photo it could have been one of two ships with that name. One was a Beagle-class steel screw sloop launched in 1889. She became a coal hulk and was renamed C 7, finally being sold into civilian service in 1905. The other was a Beagle-class destroyer launched in 1910 and sold in 1921. The only way to know for sure would be to find crew lists.
The second photo is another cousin from England, it was taken between 1903-1908. The photo was taken at the Charlsewood & Morchon studio, 6 High Street, Old Brompton, Kent

"President Barack Obama slammed Mitt Romney on Tuesday for 'writing off a big chunk of the country' after a secretly made video showed the Republican presidential nominee dismissing Obama supporters as victims who are dependent on the government," Reuters writes.
Obama said on Letterman last night: "One of the things I've learned as president is you represent the entire country. My expectation is if you want to be president, you've got to work for everybody, not just for some."
He also added this though about his response to his "bitter" remarks four years ago: "When you run for president, you are under a microscope all the time. All of us make mistakes. That incident in 2008, I immediately said, 'I regret this.'"
That is something Mitt Romney has not done.
Pro-Obama Super PAC Priorities USA is out with an ad hitting Romney for his closed-door remarks. The ad, Priorities says, will run in Colorado, Florida, Iowa, Ohio, Virginia, and Wisconsin.
ANNOUNCER: Behind these doors [shows picture of a mansion], Mitt Romney calls half the American people…
ROMNEY: 'dependent upon government who believe that they are victims."
ANNOUNCER: Victims? Behind these doors [shows a modest home with a baby being washed in a sink], middle-class families struggle. Mitt Romney will make things even tougher, raising taxes by up to $2,000 to give multimillionaires a $250,000 tax break.
ROMNEY: 'I'll never convince them that they should take personal responsibility.'
ANNOUNCER: And Mitt Romney will never convince us that he's on our side.
"Several hundred lawyers protesting an anti-Islam video forced their way into an area in Pakistan's capital that houses the U.S. Embassy and other foreign missions on Wednesday, and the United States temporarily closed its consulate in an Indonesian city because of similar demonstrations," AP writes.

Q. Funny question, but do dreamers ever crack jokes in their sleep? —Jordan the joker
A. Happens all the time, because the nature of the unconscious mind is that it seeks shorthand connections, often in the form of catchy wordplay, says Bridgewater State College anthropologist Curtiss Hoffman.
Here's one so classic it's likely apocryphal, a joke about dream jokes: A woman tells her shrink she sometimes dreams she's a wigwam, sometimes a teepee. He says, "I know your problem, you're too tense (two tents)!"
Also in the "punny things in dreams" category, a guy keeps rearranging two urns in a museum, with great emotion. Awake, he thinks he's figured the dream out: He just switched "earns," having made a tough job change.
When local resident and dreams-tracker Robert Van de Castle, author of Our Dreaming Mind, taught a new psych class, students began asking searching questions about hypnosis and altered states. "How to deal with these imponderables?" he wondered. Then he dreamed they were all sitting on the floor, heads shaved, and one asked, "Oh, master, who possesses all wisdom, how do we attain perfect knowledge?" Glancing around at the expectant faces, the doc replied, "You must drink sage tea."
Van de Castle awoke feeling he had been laughing, and saw the dream was telling him to lighten up with the class.
Q. Can anybody explain in solid numbers why marriages today so often degenerate into "The Ex-Files"? —Single Scully
A. Suppose 80 percent of spouses are F's—"faithfuls" who try their best to keep a marriage going. The other 20 percent are N's— "nasties," impossible to get along with over the long haul. You can estimate your own percentages, but everybody knows the types.
Now out of every 200 people marrying for the first time— 100 couples— 64 of the marriages, on average, will involve two F's (.8 times .8 equals .64) and will endure.
An average of 32 of the 100 marriages will involve an F and an N— and eventually break up. Four of the 100 marriages will be between two N's— ill fated from the start.
It's apparent the overall divorce rate for this first round is 36 marriages out of the 100, or 36 percent.
OK, round 2: All of the F's who married F's are still together, and not in the re-marriage pool. From the 32 divorced F-and-N couples, there will now be 32 F's and 32 N's making the dating rounds. From the 4 divorced N-and-N couples, there will be 8 N's. Total: 32 F's, 40 N's!
These 72 former spouses will form 36 new marriages. But only about seven of these, on average, will be F-and-F. The remaining 29 will be N-and-F, or N-and-N, and soon end.
Divorce rate for round 2? A whopping 80 percent. Overall divorce rate for both rounds will be close to 50 percent.
For round 3, you can see the faithful F's are scarcer still, the nasty N's are in abundance, and marriage licenses might as well be printed in disappearing ink.
Q. Who performed the first known experimental measurement of blood pressure, what year, and on whom? —Under pressure
A. The whom wasn't a person but a horse, say John R. Cameron and his co-authors of Physics of the Body. In 1733 the Reverend Stephen Hales of Great Britain connected a 10- foot vertical glass tube to a horse artery using a goose trachea as flexible connector and a quill of the goose to puncture the artery! Spurt-spurt-spurt went the blood to an average height of about eight feet above the horseheart.
Grossly pushing back the frontiers of medical science.

City Council's 'conscience' files lawsuit
BRIDGEPORT -- Thomas White was the City Council's Jiminy Cricket, the animated Disney character who tried to stop Pinocchio from fibbing so his wooden nose wouldn't grow.
But in the Bridgeport version of this tale, when council members -- including President Thomas McCarthy -- grew tired of being pestered about ethics by their "conscience," they took away White's voice.
That's how the events leading to the defunding of White's job as legislative services director are portrayed in his federal lawsuit against the city.
White, a former Republican councilman in the early 1990s, held the position from March 2007 until last June, when the council decided to cut the $47,411 job from the 2012-13 budget.
"It was not productive for the amount of funds we were using on that," said Councilman Susan Brannelly, D-130.
But White claims the layoff violated his First Amendment rights because the council's true motive was to shut him up. He wants his job back, plus back pay, benefits, damages and reimbursement of legal costs.
The free speech lawsuit, filed in U.S. District Court by lawyer Thomas Bucci, claims that on top of providing professional staff support to the city's legislative body, White "acted as the conscience and moral compass for the City Council, dispensing advice and opinions on the ethical behavior the public expected from members."
And that, the lawsuit claims, earned White the ire of his bosses. When they could not fire him for cause, they came up with the Plan B layoff, the suit says.
The suit says White objected to unnamed council members voting on matters in which they had a possible conflict of interest, such as pay raises that impacted their own salaries if they held a city job, or pay raises for relatives who are municipal employees.
White also was a vocal critic of how some on the council allegedly schemed to increase their annual $9,000 stipends.
"Members ... were inappropriately diverting expense payments from their individual stipends to the general revenues of the city budget to fraudulently increase their individual expense accounts," the lawsuit states. "On one occasion, in 2007, a member of the City Council instructed the plaintiff to charge conference-related expenses to department funds in the general fund, rather than his stipend which he had depleted."
White alleges the council first retaliated in September 2010 when attorney Michael Bayonne, on behalf of the council, said in a letter to Bucci that White was being fired "for justifiable reasons which I am willing to speak with you in private about."
In the letter, which accompanies White's lawsuit, Bayonne wrote that though the unspecified charges against White were "severe," he would be given the opportunity to resign quietly without blemishing his employment record.
According to the lawsuit, White confronted McCarthy, demanding to know why he was being terminated. The council then changed its approach, the suit says, instead eliminating his job last June "under the guise of an economic layoff."
"I just read the complaint, and I believe it's completely without merit," McCarthy, D-133, said Monday. He declined to elaborate.
Mayor Bill Finch's office said it would not comment on the pending litigation.
White said he believes his case is bolstered by the fact the council quietly replaced him over the summer with Walter Boyer, who after losing his $42,086 position with the Department on Aging, was transferred to the city clerk's office in mid-September and given the title of "legislative liaison."
Finch's office said Boyer's new salary is $42,799. Visitors to the city's new website are also encouraged to contact the council through Boyer.
McCarthy said the city clerk's office, which handles a variety of council business, has had a long-standing request for more staff. And one section of the 2012-13 budget indicates the council wanted one more staffer in that office.
"It's a completely different role within the Office of City Clerk," Brannelly said.
But in early December, before filing the First Amendment lawsuit, Bucci said in a letter to city Personnel Director David Dunn that Boyer's hiring proved that subterfuge was involved in White's layoff and that his client now deserves a hearing on his dismissal before the Civil Service Commission.
"Mr. White had been serving as the council's legislative services director; Mr. Boyer holds the position of legislative liaison. Although different titles, the positions are identical in duties and responsibilities," Bucci wrote.
A similar sentiment is expressed in White's lawsuit.

40 Years After Roe v. Wade, 8 in 10 Americans Favor Significant Abortion Restrictions
By: PR Newswire
Jan. 22, 2013 05:54 PM
Nearly 6 in 10 Americans now view abortion as "morally wrong"
NEW HAVEN, Conn., Jan. 22, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Four decades after the Supreme Court's controversial decision in Roe v. Wade legalized abortion throughout the United States, a new KofC-Marist Poll shows that more than 8 in 10 Americans (83 percent) favor significant restrictions.
The poll reveals that support for significant abortion restrictions has increased by four points since last year – rising from 79 percent to 83 percent.
Of the 83 percent who support significant restrictions on abortion, 10 percent believe abortion should never be permitted; 12 percent believe abortion should be allowed only to save the life of the mother; 34 percent would restrict abortion only to cases of rape or incest, or to save the life of the mother; and 27 percent would limit abortion to – at most – the first three months of pregnancy.
Just 11 percent would allow abortion at any time, while 6 percent would allow it during the first six months of pregnancy.
"After four decades of legalized abortion in this country, Americans have had ample time to understand that abortion has terrible consequences," said Knights of Columbus Supreme Knight Carl Anderson. "They understand abortion's true legacy – a child loses life, and parents lose a child. And after witnessing the effects of abortion for the past 40 years, Americans are not legally or morally comfortable with that legacy. It is time for our country to chart a new course on this issue – a course that protects both the mother and the child."
The survey also found that nearly 6 in 10 Americans (58 percent) believe abortion is "morally wrong." And 84 percent of Americans say laws can protect both mothers and unborn children.
"For years polls have found that Americans divide on labeling themselves as pro-life or pro-choice," said Lee Miringoff of The Marist Poll. "By asking more detailed questions about their specific views on abortion, we have been able to go beyond those labels to get a more complete picture of what Americans actually think about this issue."
The newly released survey is the latest in a series of polls commissioned by the Knights of Columbus and conducted by The Marist Institute for Public Opinion. This KofC-Marist Poll data was gathered via a telephone survey of 1,246 adults residing in the continental United States and has a margin of error of +/-2.8 percentage points. Data were collected from December 4 through 6, 2012. Additional information is available at www.kofc.org

John and I created gingerbread structures for Gingerbread City 2008 (Brownstones & Batali) and 2009 (Fondant the Yellow Brick Road), but our schedules did not allow for such enormous dedication this season. Instead, we volunteered our assistance and photography on the morning of the event, when the gingerbread artists delivered their structures, and at the Holiday Gala. We had the opportunity to visit with some of the winners and tried to capture the exquisite detail of these amazing gingerbread creations.
The Tale of Despereaux Mouse World, from the film, The Tale of Despereaux (2008) was the Grand Prize Winner this year, lovingly created by Melody Morse.
Movie critic, Roger Ebert, describes The Tale of Despereaux as "one of the most beautifully drawn animated films I've seen, rendered in enchanting detail and painterly colors...with a story centering on a big-eared little mouse named Despereaux, a sniffy rat named Roscuro and various other members of the animal and vegetable kingdoms, it is a joy to look at frame by frame..."
Well, Roger, take a look at one of the most beautifully crafted gingerbread masterpieces we've ever seen, rendered in enchanting and edible detail. You could spend the time it takes to watch the movie admiring the artistic beauty and painstaking detail in the the characters, furniture, paintings on the wall, books, antiques, floor tiles, architecture, textures, and techniques.
Melody is passionate about her work. Her motto has always been, you are only limited by your imagination. She is one very talented, imaginative, and amazing woman! Two of her earlier works, gingerbread replicas of San Diego's Villa Montezuma, a 1887 Victorian, and The Martson House, architect Irving Gill's craftsman-style house completed in 1905, are preserved and exhibited at the San Diego History Center in Balboa Park.
|The Tale of Despereaux Mouse World
Melody was kind enough to share a little about her life, background, inspiration, and tricks of the trade. Her passions include collecting mice, sewing items and antiques. She has a curio cabinet at home with many of the items found in this gingerbread structure. The mice, scissors, antique hinges, spools, etc., are all duplicated in gumpaste and hold very special memories.
The structure also represents a tribute to her sister, Linda, who died of cancer several years ago. Melody lived in England at the time, and her collecting of sewing items and small antiques kept them connected through phone calls. The structure is also a reminder of things she has lost, saved, and how small items connect us to our past. When Melody's home burned in the 2003 wildfires, the items in her curio cabinet were some of the things she hurriedly packed before being told to evacuate.
The blue rug is made with softened, dyed, rice noodles, which are then braided. The primary ingredients used in the structure are gingerbread and gumpaste, but Melody loves searching for new materials and tools. She browses Asian markets, yard sales, flea markets and hardware stores, and finds herself touching everything and envisioning how it will add texture and interest to her creations. Some of the interesting materials in this piece include tea leaves, kelp, flower seeds, gourd strips, rice noodles, candy crystals, lemon grass, rice paper, lentils, edible food coloring and luster dust, and royal icing.
The structure contains a combination of human and mouse-sized items, just as in "real mouse" life! It includes books from the movie - another special family memory. Melody's children love antique books, so it was easy to raid their rooms for ideas for special covers. Some of the tiny books have covers of soy wrappers or seaweed.
The cabinets in the structure depict life size cabinets we might have in our home, inhabited by mice of course. Most of the drawers are removable and hold gumpaste goodies inside. There are also various tiny bowls filled with beans, noodles, sunflower seeds, rice and couscous.
Melody told me she doesn't miss the structure when it's gone. It takes her a few days to recuperate with lots of sleep, and several more days to put her craft room back in order. Her reward is in the smiles of the children who recognize what she has created. The reward is boosted when people bid on the structure during the auction at the Gala, and want to take it home. Even if she doesn't win prize money, she knows she has supported a worthy organization by dedicating her heart and soul in a structure that takes her two months and 250 hours to complete! Although she has no real connection to epilepsy, she enjoys the Epilepsy Foundation family and looks forward to challenging herself with a new gingerbread structure each year.
Taking home the honors of Second Place in the Grand category was Kristen Coniaris, with Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory, from the film Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory (1971). Kristin is the chef/owner of Wicked Goodies Extreme Cake Design and she is presently working on her book, Extreme Cake Design.
Santa Takes a Fall, from the film The Santa Clause (1994), was created by last year's winner, Maria Webster. Maria is a master in characters and detail.
Pixie Hollow, from the film Tinker Bell (2008), created by Estella Rocha-Gomez, won First Place in the Miniature category.
Draco, from the film Dragonheart (1996), was exquisitely crafted by Tiffany Morse. Tiffany undoubtedly acquired her attention to detail and innovative use of edible ingredients from her mother, Melody. Tiffany's dragon started with a frame she made of metal, much like a stick figure. She then started baking 1/4 inch of gingerbread on it at a time, until it was quite thick. The piece started out twice as big and then she used a dremel tool and wood carving and exacto knives. The finishing touches were put on using a wood burning tool and luster dust or food coloring mixed with vodka. Draco's wing membranes are composed of corn husks. Tiffany won Second in the Miniature category.
Some of the other gingerbread structures included The Amazing Spider-Man, Porsche at Le Mans, How the Grinch Stole Christmas, Night at the Majestic, The Neverending Story, A Hot Night at the Drive-In, Up in the Air, and A Christmas Story: The House on Cleveland Street.
Celebrity Chefs and Creative Cuisine
Local chefs and restaurants also donated time and talent at the Gala, in support of families with epilepsy. Of course, we managed to make the rounds to most of the chef's tables for tastings of their marvelous dishes.

The Chiefs acquired guards Andy Alleman and Ikechuku Ndukwe and released offensive tackle Brian de la Puente and linebacker Vince Redd. Alleman, a third-round pick in 2007, also can play center.

A trail of tractor-flattened wheat leads from beyond the horizon to the front of the scene, curves around and heads straight back over the horizon. A dramatic sky casts its shadows across the field and suggests brighter times on the other side of the horizon.

In most Western countries between the mid-17th and the end of the 19th centuries labor was similar to service, and wage conditions resembled those of domestic servants, with numerous constraints imposed on workers' mobility. In colonies, workers' mobility was even more constrained and gave rise to extreme forms of dependency not only under slavery, but also after it, as can be seen through the growth of indentured labor in the Indian Ocean and obligatory labor in Africa. In this lecture, Alessandro Stanziani argues that unfree labor and forms of labor coercion were perfectly compatible with market development and capitalism. Alessandro Stanziani is a professor at L'École des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales, Paris, and senior researcher at the Centre National des Recherches Scientifiques.

"Respice post te. Hominem te memento. Memento mori.". (look behind you, remember you're a man. Remember you must die.)
I doubt he has done any coding at all ....... Coffin ?
All that is here are some very nice Previews with models all used by permission from other mods .
That's all fine & should make for swift work in releasing a Beta ...... but alas , every few months we only get a few more pictures of previews of models that are already done .... hmmmmmm ??
I think WiseCoffin just fancies himself as a producer of sorts .......
If you want to play a Rise of Persia Mod , the guys over at the Org have a Beta Release that runs on the original MTW .
As waiting for this Wise Coffins release is like waiting for the second coming of Christ .
I am hopeful. He has the old Rise of Persia to use as a base. He must be coding as well, why would he not be coding if he was just making units. I think Rise of Persia 3 might be a bit delayed, but it will be released. Some models I notice are new, like the kyrinaioi ippeis. He is working alone, so it will take some time, but it will be released.
"he has the old Rise of Persia to use as a base" ....... yes he does but I am almost 100% certain he said he would be starting from scratch ! ... brand new !! ... sad news is "he has not started " nothing has ever been posted about that .
"he must be coding as well" ...... probably not yet started , see my opinion above .
"he is working alone , so it will take some time" ....... what work ? "producing previews"
we had Previews over a decade ago .
"but it will be released " ............. I doubt it very much , don't expect it anytime soon , at least not by this guy
Wise Coffin ..... tell the few here how far you have progressed ? ........ 1% ? 5% .....???
Lets be hopeful then, we should give everyone a chance. The map might be near completion, after all, I do remember a picture of it a while back, it was one with Cyrus the Great. So it is probably in development. I feel it could very well be ready by the start of next year, maybe Jan-Feb. I do have hope. I do not feel trickery is at play here, after all, why waste time on previews to lead people to believing that the mod is being made if he is not making the mod, it doesn't make sense, he must be making it. I do remember a person in the past offering help on the map, the map I think is semi-ready. I do have hope. I am confident it will be released in time
Let me be clear, i am no professional modder or anything. I am just a fan of this mod that is trying to get this version ready, since the actual modders that left this version made it so unplayable. Also being a modder does not give me any money and i am trying to make a youtube channel and writting books; so i only work on rise of persia whend i can. But i will always try to make this releasable, on to the standarts of the previous modders; since there are certain features and ways that the buildings are that i do not fancy, but i will not be changing that.
Mainly is the way that recruitment is handled; with only having one type of building tree; like previously you would have barracks for infantry and stables for horses, now is one single building bree on the lines of anexation, assimilation, kingdom, confederacy, and the likes, that develops.
hmmmmm ........
You never answered any of my questions WiseCoffin
I think what the Rise of Persia Mod needs is for Version 2 to be worked on & improved , perhaps a patch or even a re-release
I mean , its all their downloadable & playable , & with some tweaking & balancing & even a tech tree reworking ......... it would be more fun & playable !!
& who knows , if it gets the Bogia "ModPack" treatment it may never need anything more .
So the Wise Coffin , you can take as long as you need to prepare your all new version 3 .

TOWSON, MD – The York College men's cross country squad picked up four top-15 finishes Saturday as they took second overall at the five-team Goucher Classic.
Freshman sensation Steven Childres (Ellicott City, Md./Mt. Saint Joseph) captured the Spartans' top time. Childres finished the 8,000-meter course in 28:39.91 to nab a eighth-place individual spot. Andrew Friesema (Adamstown, Pa./Cocalico) came in a mere five-hundredths of a second behind Childres, taking ninth with a time of 28:40.41.
The Green and White's Ryan Janes (Gaithersburg, Md./Gaithersburg) was York's third finisher as he completed the race in 28:51.80. Janes' time resulted in an eleventh-place finish for the senior.
Junior All-Capital Athletic Conference performer Matt Provonche (Churchville, Md./C. Milton Wright) took the Spartans' fourth top-15 finish. Provonche traversed the course in 28:55:54 to garner 13th.
Greg Bivona (Lynbrook, N.Y./Lynbrook Senior) and Patrick Lestrange (Green Brook, N.J./Watchung Hills Regional) finished 19th and 20th respectively for the Green and White. Bivona covered the race in 30:03.84 while Lestrange completed the course in 30:10.66.
As a team, the Green and White averaged 29:02.30 with a total time of 2:25:11.50. The only team to best the Spartans at the Classic was the Naval Academy's "B" Squad, which posted the top-two individual finishers.
The Spartans now return to training as they prepare for the Hood Open next Saturday, October 17. The race in Frederick, Md. will take place at Heritage Farm Park the same venue that will host the CAC Championships on November 7, providing the Green and White with an opportunity to preview the course.
