Jihad era
Technical Readout: 3075 contains stats for units of all types broken down into two sections. The first sections details weapons of war that were created during the first half of the Jihad, while the second section describes those that first rolled off the production line during the Age of War. In addition to making use of the weapons first seen in Total Warfare, TRO:3075 also contains some units that use non-tournament legal equipment found in Tactical Operations.
From the back coverEdit
| In November 3067 the Second Star League disbanded. The Word of Blake—a splinter group of ComStar—had been on the verge of joining in fulfillment of ancient prophecies. Denied their dream, the Blakists sought to preserve the Star League against the follies of the Houses, but its fanaticism manifested this noble goal as the Jihad: a horrific war that has pitted every faction against each other and even themselves. Against such an anvil, new cutting edge machines of war are marched into the fire. The discovery of an ancient Hegemony Memory Core graphically showcases the desperation of the conflict, as primitive 'Mechs not seen on a battlefield since the dawn of 'Mech production over half a millennia ago once again appear.
Classic BattleTech Technical Readout: 3075 provides a comprehensive look at the latest machines of war debuting during the Jihad: from 'Mechs to battle armor, Support Vehicles to DropShips and more. In addition, a complete "Age of War" section covers the Terran Hegemony and each of the five Great Houses during the Age of War, including the very first BattleMechs produced by each faction and how such machines are starting to appear once more. Each military vehicle is illustrated in detail, accompanied by a description of its history, capabilities, game stats, and some of the unit's most famous pilots.

Cheyenne Freemont briefly operated as a female Nightwing in Bludhaven.
The child of two metahuman parents, young Cheyenne witnessed firsthand how people reacted to others with powers, as her family was run out of town due to their strange abilities. When her own powers emerged, she kept them hidden for fear that people would hate her as they did her parents. Her flair for design led her to become a famous clothing designer. She was content to live a normal life, until she crossed paths with Dick Grayson, the superhero known as Nightwing.
After Cheyenne spent a night with Dick, a man who had feelings for her proceeded to beat her for her tryst with Dick. Cheyenne used her psionic powers to blast him away with a force bolt. Later, when Jason Todd threatened her, Dick (as Nightwing) came to her rescue, only to become an accidental model in her fashion show. Cheyenne learned that Dick was Nightwing, and Dick learned that Cheyenne was a metahuman. He tried to convince her to become a superhero, but she refused, not wanting to expose herself as a metahuman. Only when Jason Todd became a prisoner of two super-powered brothers who intended to kill him, did Cheyenne use her abilities to help. She created a costume similar to Nightwing's and used her powers to help Nightwing save Jason, before retiring as the female Nightwing.

Sesame-Citrus Crackers
Evelyn Herring of Laguna Woods, California, writes: "My mother was raised in Scotland and learned to cook at a time when quality ingredients were hard to come by. She had to be imaginative, often substituting ingredients and improvising recipes. My own cooking has become Americanized over the years, but I still rely on her recipes. They're easy and always taste as good as the first time I tried them." These savory treats, called biscuits in Scotland, go well with cocktails or tea.

HD Commentary by Earl Cox
Exodus 17 tells how Amalekites, descendants of Esau's grandson, attacked the children of Israel in the desert of Sinai during their exodus from Egypt. This unprovoked attack was especially serious and the Israelites battled all day, only achieving victory at nightfall.
In response to this demonstration of cruelty, the Lord told Moses that he would blot out the remembrance of Amalek from under heaven. Moses later recounted: "the Lord will have war with Amalek from generation to generation" (Exodus 17:16). Amalek's attack on the children of Israel was now a perpetual war between him and the God of Israel.
Anyone paying the slightest attention is shaking their heads in disbelief over developments between two Middle East neighbors, the Israelis and Palestinians. The circumstances become more worrisome with a third party halfway around the world meddling in their affairs, the United States. Will President Obama and Secretary of State John Kerry act according to U. S. law or defy it?
Israel appears to be between the proverbial rock and hard place. Unfortunately, Israel does not live in a friendly neighborhood. A half million hostile Arab neighbors surround Israel. Syria poses a dire threat. More importantly, recent frightening images from Syria have shown men, women and children writhing with seizures and pain caused by Assad attacking his own with chemical weapons. If Assad would kill his own people, what's to keep him from attacking Israel to obtain the Golan Heights as a key strategic position?
A study of true American history will enlightened the reader to a direct correlation to Israel based on what America's Founding Fathers faced when fleeing the tyranny of King George III as they sought a new life in what would become these "United States of America."
For those who watched the third and final Presidential debate one thing was certain, President Obama made a 360 degree turn when asked if he would stand with Israel if she had to go to war with Iran to stop their nuclear proliferation. Until the debate, which focused on foreign policy, Mr. Obama has been silent on standing with Israel virtually ignoring Iran's threat to wipe Israel off the face of the planet. When asked by his opponent, Mitt Romney, why he visited virtually every Middle East country but bypassed Israel, Obama regressed all the way back to before taking office and simple stated he had visited Israel and even Sderot, an Israeli town next to Gaza. Romney quickly seized the moment and stated that if Israel is forced into war, as President of the United States he (Mitt Romney) would stand solidly beside Israel. Shortly there after Obama followed suit despite being silent for over four years.
The website, www.revaustinmiles.com has grown considerabley with heavy traffic. News editors are picking up and publishing many of the breaking stories here, which they are free to do. The story, "Incredible Veteran's Day Parade in Antioch," really hit a responsive chord. It was published all over the world, including the newspaper, U.S.A. Today. The Great Chicken Trial of Brentwood (along with the follow-up stories) was listed in the top stories of 2010 by The Press in Brentwood. Editor Rick Lemyre makes it clear that this doesn't mean most "important" but most 'interesting and unusual," which MilesTones is all about.
Tom Barnridge in his column in The Contra Costa Times (1/2/11) called the event of the famous chickens, Henny and Penny; "Our favorite controversy" (of 2010). He even mentioned the cranky neighbor who complained that the "chickens poop 1000 times a day!" (which is a lot of .....ah forget it!) prompting Mr. Bandridge to ask, "We wonder who did the counting?" Yep, that would take a lot of backyard surveilance. Anyway, Henny and Penny were pleased by Mr. Barnridge's mention.

The ability for consumers to traverse from one device to another and for brands to target ads cross-platform will require cloud services to store data and content. Google has announced a partnership program that allows third-party companies to use and sell its cloud services.
The move identifies a need for a closer working relationship between marketing, advertising and IT to support data and Web services.
The company divided the partner program into two categories: Technology Partners provide tools that integrate with its platform. Service Partners provide advice and implementation options to use cloud services, aimed at supporting business, mobile and social apps, so companies can dig deeper into business intelligence.
Some of Google's first appointed cloud services partners are known for their IT expertise, such as Computer Sciences, WiPro Technologies, and LTech.
According to Eric Morse, head of sales and business development for the Google Cloud Platform group, in the last decade, Google invested in building an infrastructure that can serve 4 billion hours of video monthly, support 425 million Gmail users, and store 100 petabytes of Web index.
At the MediaPost OMMA Data & Targeting conference in Los Angeles on Wednesday, Christopher Snyder -- president at Juhll, a marketing agency -- said all his company's offerings rely on cloud services. "We're a 10-person shop, so I feel we don't have a choice," he said. "If the office burned down tomorrow at least all of our work would be saved. We'd only lose furniture."
Snyder said it doesn't make sense to store content on a server anymore. Similarly, IDG Tech Network Director of Marketing Danielle Krieger grabs and shares content with internal clients on a cloud service.
Jamie Weniger, senior account executive at PulsePoint, said his company stores multiple gigabytes of sales and marketing collateral on Box, which supports sales marketing and IT, rather than consumer-based content, like SendIt.
However, Neustar Vice President, Advertising Sales Mike Blacker's experience with Google Docs wasn't ideal, so his company began using DropBox as an alternative when documents are too big to send through email.
With the amount of data that companies now collect and store for content, targeting and more, Michael Horn, SVP ad managing partner at Decision Sciences, suggests the industry needs a data ratings service to quantify numbers coming from key performance indicators and third-party companies.

One of the key stones to reach a long lifetime of your engine is frequent and regular engine oil change. If you are hesitating about the cost of these frequent oil changes (especially with larger engines consuming large quantities of oil each time) I would like to recommend to use a good but cheap oil (with correct viscosity and proper quality ratings of course) and change frequently instead of buying the most expensive oil and change very rarely.
Ask most BMW fans which M3 is the best M3 and they'll almost all in unison say the E46 generation M3. While the E30 is considered by many to be the best BMW of all time, objectively, the E46 M3 is the better car overall. So most fans will go with that car as their perfect M3. However, Alex from Car Throttle specifically bought an E36 BMW M3 over an E46 M3, despite it technically being the worse car of the two.
While drag races are far from being exciting and often times, they're extremely biased, yet they're perfect for bragging rights and killing time.
The BMW E30 3 Series range has one of the biggest cult followings out of all the BMW models ever made. The series that gave birth to the legendary E30 M3 and the M3 nameplate altogether, deserves a special place in the hearts of thousand of car fans. And it can get even dramatically better with just a couple of well-placed upgrades and that's part of what makes it magic.
The BMW E46 M3 is getting back into focus for many BMW aficionados lately. Recently, we've seen several tuning projects featuring the popular M3 and we even took the liberty to define a list of reasons why buying an E46 M3 right now is a great choice.
The new facelifted BMW F30 3 Series has just been released a few weeks ago and it brought several small, but interesting design changes, slightly altering the exterior looks of the high-seller sedan. The owner of this F30 335i decided to skip the LCI (Life Cycle Impulse) and make some changes to his car with some parts from the aftermarket world.

Picture this: you're the head chef of a foodservice operation, it's Friday evening, and it's time to close the kitchen doors for the week and start prepping for the coming one. The thing is, you have a refrigerator full of leftovers from meals earlier in the week, and they'll undoubtedly go bad. This scenario isn't unfamiliar to many chefs in large foodservice operations, so what can be done to fix it?
Enter the "Chef's Choice" station. To avoid tossing these perfectly good leftover ingredients, consider transforming one of your stations into a Chef's Choice station one day a week, like Thursday or Friday. The chef decides what unique dishes can be created using those leftover ingredients, then serves them at the Chef's Choice station. In addition to encouraging creativity in the kitchen, it will get customers excited to see what the chef has invented that week. And of course, it drives down food waste by saving perfectly edible ingredients from ending up in the garbage.
If foodservice is your industry and you find your operation has a lot of unnecessary waste piling up at the end of the week, why not try adding the Chef's Choice station?

Integrative Healthcare Policy Consortium
Integrative Health & Wellness Caucus Focuses on Putting Health back in Healthcare
The Integrative Healthcare Policy Consortium (IHPC) represents the national policy and legislative interests of the nation's complementary and integrative healthcare professions before the Congress and Federal agencies. NCH is an active Partner for Health in IHPC, with a representative sitting on the Board of Directors.
As a Partner for Health, NCH supports education and awareness efforts in Congress about integrative health, and homeopathy in particular. Learn more about IHPC.
Current Activities
Since the Affordable Care Act (ACA) was passed in 2010, IHPC has been focused on ensuring compliance with provisions of the law that support complementary and integrative health providers. The most important of these is Section 2706, "Non-discrimination in healthcare," which forbids insurers from excluding state-licensed providers from their policies. This includes the complementary and integrative providers represented by IHPC who work closely with the nation's homeopathy professionals.
In 2014, IHPC initiated two important projects that are advancing the goal of ending discrimination against providers.
CoverMyCare.org – a national consumer advocacy campaign designed to make sure that state regulators follow the law and direct their insurance companies to end discrimination. Proper implementation will expand public access to these therapies and of course the professionals who deliver them.
Integrative Health and Medicine: Today's Answer to Affordable Healthcare -- Health Creation Economics. This important information resource compiles research data showing the financial benefits of integrating complementary and integrative care throughout the American care system. This guide will help policy makers, insurers, regulators, employers and the public understand the benefits that can come with wider, more equitable access to integrative care.

Il Postino, which is currently having a rapturous world premiere production through October 16 at the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion in Los Angeles. Locals, whether opera aficianados or not, shouldn't miss it.
I didn't remember much about Michael Radford's 1994 movie Il Postino (The Postman), despite its having been nominated for five Academy Awards including Best Picture and Director, and winning one for Best Score. Watching the opening night performance of this opera inspired by it, however, brought much of the film back to me while improving upon it.
The plot and libretto weave multiple love stories, enlivened by equal doses of humor and sorrow. Real-life Chilean poet Pablo Neruda (a nicely modulated, down-to-earth performance by opera superstar Placido Domingo) and his adoring wife, Matilde (beautiful soprano Cristina Gallardo-Domas), have been exiled to the tiny, fictional island of Cala di Sotto due to Pablo's Communist leanings. There, they meet lonely postman Mario Ruoppolo (an awesome, moving turn by lyric tenor Charles Castronovo), who dreams of becoming a poet like Neruda and longs for the heart of the tempestuous Beatrice (the very impressive Amanda Squitieri).
Mario and Pablo become unexpectedly close friends through their mutual love of language, especially metaphors. Love blossoms between the newly-empowered Mario and Beatrice, much to the chagrin of Beatrice's domineering, gun-toting aunt, Donna Rosa (a very funny Nancy Fabiola Herrera). Too soon, though, the Nerudas' exile is ended and they are called home to Chile, leaving Mario and the other locals they have befriended to feel abandoned just as a sleazy politician rises to power on Cala de Sotto.
Il Postino offers glimpses into the love of fathers for their sons, of husbands and wives for each other, and of artists for their art. The strongest love story in the opera, however, is between Pablo and Mario. While it isn't romantically or sexually motivated, the men's affection for one another and the chemistry between Domingo and Castronovo in the roles will prove especially touching to gay viewers/listeners.
Catan's lyrics aren't as strong as his music (and several of us critics were questioning the English translation used for the supertitles during intermission), but the score is memorable and frequently gorgeous. "Desnuda" ("Naked") is a breathtakingly intimate duet between Pablo and Matilde at the opera's start, and its refrain and concept are invoked later by Mario and Beatrice. I do wish the chorus had a larger singing role; the members serve more as scenery movers, only providing vocal support a few times. Grant Gershon conducts with his trademark sensitive assurance.
The evocative, relatively simple sets by Riccardo Hernandez are impressive, as are his costumes. Appropriate in light of the color with which Mario defines his love for Beatrice, most of the sets involving the two characters are blue. Occasional use of a blue neon border, possibly left over from LA Opera's techno production of The Ring Cycle last season, around the proscenium is too much but this is one of very few design excesses.
Il Postino is movingly directed by Ron Daniels, especially during the opera's powerful final moments. Indeed, I was tearful as the curtain fell, more so than I've been at any recent stage performance. Numerous audience members around me were sniffling and dabbing at their eyes as well. The opening night performance received a 10-minute standing ovation from an astute crowd, clearly signaling the arrival of a promising new work.

Zipping from Mumbai to Delhi at 200 kmph on the cards
After meeting Japanese representatives, railway officials are in talks for a new project that promises to improve inter-state connectivity; however, there is a shortage of funds
While every effort is being made to improve rail connectivity between the financial capital and India's capital, a new High-Speed Corridor has been proposed at a cost in excess of Rs 4,000 crore, along with special high-speed rakes expected to be procured at a cost of
Rs 550 crore each. However, even before this project is put on the drawing board, there is a conflict of interests among the railway officials in the Rail Ministry and in Mumbai.
In October, a delegation from Japan visited Mumbai and met railway officials in Delhi. The feasibility study for the project was then presented in the railway board meeting earlier this month. "This project is in a nascent stage and things are being worked out," said Mahesh Kumar, general manager, Western Railway.
Sources said that issues of funding and infrastructure of this 'golden rail corridor' were mainly discussed at the meeting. "The Japanese government has shown interest in funding this multi-crore corridor, but wants us to buy the necessary infrastructure, electrical fittings and technical know-how from them, which is way too expensive," said a senior railway official on condition of anonymity.
This is evident with the approximate cost of each high-speed rake at Rs 550 crore, which is equivalent to buying 18 suburban trains that costs around Rs 30 crore each. The cash-starved Union Railway Ministry also needs to invest over Rs 4,000 crore on basic infrastructure like tracks, signalling system and other components; which is bound to go up due to inflation.
Golden rail corridor
According to plans, the Indian Railways is considering an increase in the speed of passenger trains between Mumbai and Delhi by 70 kmph, from the existing 130 kmph to 200 kmph. This improvement in speed is expected to cut short travel time by 4 to 5 hours on the Mumbai-Delhi routes from the current average 16-hour journey. The probable route studied for this 1,400-km corridor is through Mathura, Kota, Ratlam, Vadodara and Surat.
Officials claim that although the present lot of Rajdhani and Shatabdi trains are capable of running at speeds of 130 kmph, due to constraints in infrastructure, they fail to reach this speed consistently.
There are physical problems in the system too, like rail crossings, animals getting run-over and people crossing tracks blatantly. Sources add that the impact of an accident grows multi-fold even with a miniscule increase in speed of 10 kmph.
"At a time when even a Re 1 hike in suburban fares is opposed from all fronts, how can one expect people to shell out thousands more for travelling in these high-speed trains when they might prefer going by air?" said another railway official on condition of anonymity. Around 20 such high-speed trains have been proposed to be introduced.

Who Was Sir Isaac Brock?
Major-General Sir Isaac Brock commanded all the British troops in Upper Canada (now Ontario) and was Lieutenant-Governor of the province as well. A well-educated and cultivated 42-year-old Englishman, he chafed at his assignment to such a colonial backwater. But he was trained to put Duty above all else and so he did his job well in Canada. He had no use for American democracy and republicanism -- those concepts were "as treasonous in his lexicon as communism will be to a later generation of military authoritarians." *
Brock diligently and meticulously prepared for war and the expected invasion by American troops. He had the great foresight to align his forces with the aboriginal warriors of Tecumseh the Shawnee chief. That turned out to be the smartest and most crucial defensive manoeuvre of the entire war.
By July of 1812, the Americans had already tried to invade Canada at the town of Sandwich (now Windsor) but were successfully repelled. In August, Brock and Tecumseh joined forces and captured Detroit from the Americans. Actually, it was an easy victory because U.S. General William Hull was so terrified of Indians that he went completely to pieces and surrendered Detroit without a fight. Hull was later court-martialed for cowardice but was spared the death penalty because of his previous exemplary service in the Revolutionary War.
Tomorrow: Who Was Tecumseh?

During this period of history, England had my people living in straw huts with dirt floors. Yet they treated your people differently. Saviors in one land, killers in another.
You've done a fine job with the history here Debra and given me much to think about.

Looking forward to each instalment - it was an fascinating period in our joint histories. Sadly our current government has decided to appropriate it to some sort of propaganda end, I'm honestly not sure what that agenda is about.
I recall climbing Brock's Monument as a child and later as an adult and seeing the plaque to him in his hometown of St Peter's Port in Guernsey.

Have you ever wondered what it's like to be flying in close formation with another airplane, seeing the tiniest movement of an aileron, the heat curling from the exhaust? When nothing else exists but your relative position to another wingtip? To know your fate is entirely within your hands, and your control, skill and focus are the only things separating you from life or death.
We stand in awe watching the U.S. Navy Blue Angels, the U.S. Airforce Thunderbirds and the Aeroshell Team. Dynamic and static at the same time—four, five or six beautiful airplanes welded together flying diamond patterns and fingertip sections across the sky, they separate into solos before forming up for a rejoin. Like true athletes and performers, the great formation teams make it look easy. And, if you were sitting in the cockpit, you'd know they're closer than they look.
A formation flight takes a leader and a wingman. The leader trusts the wingman will stay in position. The wingman relies on the lead to guide her safely through the air. They cannot and must not get distracted, even for a second. While a team needs skill, training, practice and depth of experience, trust is the foundation of all formation flying.
Perhaps the most poignant example of this is the 1982 U.S.A.F. Thunderbirds "Diamond Crash." While practicing in the desert as a formation of four T-38 Talon jets, the leader, who had a jammed stabilizer, flew into the ground, taking his entire four-ship team with him. The wingmen, flying off the lead, never broke their concentration. The mutual trust they showed that day makes them quite possibly the best formation team in history.
Not just for demonstration teams, the art and science of formation flying is useful for many reasons. Military pilots learn formation for mutual defense and protection, mission integrity, navigation, target strike and concentration of firepower. Having a wingman in an emergency can be helpful in troubleshooting, visually inspecting another aircraft and providing cover if a plane goes down.
Think of Medal of Honor winner Thomas Hudner and wingman Jesse Brown. In 1950 during the Korean War, Hudner and Brown were flying F4U Corsairs on patrol in North Korea when Brown was hit by enemy fire. In an attempt to save Brown from his burning aircraft, Hudner intentionally landed his airplane on the side of a mountain in below-freezing temperatures to try to help save Brown's life. Flying with another person into combat can give a pilot not only a psychological boost, but a literal one too, as in the famous incident known as "Pardo's Push" where, in Vietnam, Captain Bob Pardo used the tailhook of a damaged combat F-4 Phantom to push it from hostile territory into friendly airspace.
Civilians learn formation flying for similar reasons—to become well-rounded pilots, to provide support while flying cross-country, for camaraderie and fun, and for aerial photography.
I learned formation flying in the wide-open desert outside of Tucson, where I was based for many years. In 1986, the Red Baron Squadron, the premier formation Stearman team, was also based there, and we became friends. I had just made the U.S. Aerobatic Team. The Squadron suggested I learn to fly formation because, later that summer in Europe for the World Aerobatic Championships, I'd be flying cross-country with nine or 10 airplanes.
Red Baron pilot Steve Thompson took me aside and explained the basics—the takeoff, the "form up," taking turns on the right and left wing so I wouldn't become "handed," power adjustments and why being on the outside of a turn requires more power (larger radius) and on the inside less (smaller radius); how to switch sides by sliding back and under the lead so I could always keep him in sight; and what to do if we lost radio communications or lost sight of each other.
I'll never forget my first formation lesson. I followed Thompson out in my Pitts S-1T, giving him a wide lead, then moved in closer to follow him through some shallow turns to the left and to the right, which put me on the outside and then the inside of the turn, my radius increasing and decreasing. As I got a little braver, I moved in close enough to hear the growl of the big 450 hp Pratt & Whitney radial engine. Then, I slid back, down and over to his other side, moved in a little closer, and the biplane's wings and wires became my whole world. It was intense, dramatic and exhausting!
You learn a lot about airplanes by watching them up close in the air. Control surfaces are never completely still, the airflow twists and turns around the empennage, each type of wing accelerates differently and aerodynamic drag is always chipping away at forward speed. If you love airplanes like I do, you understand why flying close to one is so awesome. You see how they take on life and breathe when in the air.
Since that first lesson, I've used formation flying my entire aerobatic career flying cross-country in air shows, troubleshooting problems for other airplanes and for aerial photography.
Air show pilots love to get their pictures taken, and we're often the subjects of the best aerial photographers in the world. There's a formula for great air-to-air photos, the first ingredient being a good photoship. A-36 and V-Tail Bonanzas, B58 Barons, Skymasters and Saratogas with doors removed, or those approved with special camera windows, are ideal. The B-25, every aerial photographer's favorite, is a little harder to come by. The pilot of the photoship must be smooth, experienced and understand formation flying. They have to know how to fly with dissimilar aircraft, handle radios in busy airspace and position the formation for the best light and angles.
A photo flight is pre-briefed in detail–radio frequencies, formation positions and emergency contingencies. The wingmen must manage radios, fuel and power settings without looking inside the cockpit. Fuel management is important. For example, you don't want to run out of fuel or forget to switch tanks with someone tight on your wing, although we stagger and stack our formations so that if that happens, the person alongside you isn't in the direct path of a decelerating airplane.
Sometimes, we have a gaggle of five or even six airplanes. On takeoff, the camera ship is always in the lead. It calls the tower with a "flight of four" or a "flight of six." We use section takeoffs, with one airplane on each side of the lead ship and sections of two staggered behind them, all rolling down the runway at the same time. Centerline is inviolable and used to separate the rolling airplanes. In a two-ship, it's always best for the lead to be on the downwind side of the runway for takeoff, but when with a multiple formation, it's not always possible to avoid wake turbulence.
In the air, we start in echelon formation on the camera-window side of the lead plane, then change things up so the photographer can get a variety of shots. In a four-ship, two pilots may move to the opposite side, giving the other two a chance at some two-ship photos. Then three airplanes might slide over, each pilot then taking turns for the opportunity to get some great solo shots, upright, inverted or in knife edge. If you're the closest to the lead plane, you call "smoke on" when you see the photographer start to shoot.
The camera pilot is always positioning the airplanes for best lighting, so you can end up squinting in the sun a lot. The lead knows and trusts you won't take your eyes off them, but if you do, you peel off as briefed and let them know as soon as you have them back in sight.
We take care of each other in this environment, and the newbie usually gets positioned on the outside of the formation. However, in a formation of several airplanes, the pilot on the outside tends to get the toughest job. It's hard to look past airplanes bumping along, up and down, but the key is to focus on the lead plane. The airplane on the outside feels like it's getting cracked at the end of a whip.
Formation flying is extremely useful, but it leaves little room for error. You try to brief and plan for every contingency, but Murphy's Law—anything that can go wrong will go wrong—is always at play.
As any good wingman knows, sometimes you have to take the lead. A few years ago, I was leading a flight of warbirds that included a B-17 out of Falcon Field, in Mesa, Ariz. I was flying a T6/G and had a friend in the back seat. As we taxied into position on the runway, I moved the stick and rudder around for one last control check, and just before I brought the power up for takeoff, I realized I couldn't get the stick back all the way. It so happened that without telling me, my backseater had swiveled the seat around, a feature of some T-6's, so he could better watch the other airplanes on takeoff. Positioned sideways, the seat restricted the elevator controls. If I had taken off, it would've been a very bad day for all of us.
I have a few war stories, and I've done a few dumb things myself. It's easy to make mistakes when you're inexperienced and don't know what you don't know, but being experienced and over-confident is an even more insidious danger.
The deeper and sometimes darker side of formation flying is that it takes less than a split second to look away and slide into another airplane. Closure rates are amazingly fast.
Flying low level in formation as a wingman for the first time is intense because you see the ground rushing up, but you know you can't look at it like you would when flying solo. You can ignore your intuition and misplace your trust in an inexperienced lead pilot who's unpredictable. There are many traps to fall into. It's the smart and maybe lucky ones who have good mentors when they start out.
Formation flying is very interesting, and there might be nothing else like it. When you're a child, the trust you have in your parents is implicit. When you're an adult, where else do we place such trust in another person? In formation flying, you surrender to that truth, but you're also an active participant. It's a little like being in love, but without the nagging doubts that your lover might leave—as long as you stay on the wing.
This collusion and agreement of mass and metal, mind and heart that drives a flight of airplanes is simply awesome. Next time you're at an air show or see a beautiful air-to-air photograph, think of the execution and the synergy, how close to the edge, how tight the tolerances are and enjoy a better appreciation of it.

The relatively new commentary series from Baker Academic called "Paideia" is continuing to release New Testament volumes at a steady rate. Some of the best volumes to date include Charles Talbert's work on Colossians/Ephesians as well as Frank Matera on Romans. Recently, Duane Watson and Terrance Callan published (in one volume) on 1-2 Peter.
1 Peter
Duane Watson is responsible for 1 Peter. In his introduction he questions those that argue for pseudepigraphy. Perhaps the strongest argument against Peter writing this letter is the high level of Greek demonstrated in the text. Watson counter-argues: "Peter had spend nearly three decades preaching to Greek-speaking audiences, which surely improved his skill in Greek." When it comes to use of the LXX, Watson presumes the historical Peter would have also developed familiarity with it over time. He deconstructs a host of arguments against Petrine authorship and, ultimately, finds enough plausibility it was Peter to assume so much in the commentary (5). Thus, he dates 1 Peter to about 80AD. Why did Peter write this letter?
In light of this situation [of local, unofficial persecution], the letter is written to encourage the recipients (5:12) and give their suffering theological purpose as a vital part of the Christian life, especially as a testing from God (4:12, 19) and an imitation of Christ (2:21-23; 3:18). It stresses that good conduct is the best way to quell verbal and physical abuse instigated by hostile gentile neighbors and authorities (2:12-17; 3:13-17), as well as an outworking of their new holy nature as obedient children of God (1:14-16)." (9)
The introduction is rounded out by a nice section on the theology of 1 Peter which includes a discussion of topics such as the doctrine of God, Christology/Soteriology, Ethics, Pneumatology, and Eschatology.
When it comes to Watson's commentary notes, there is no need to discuss them in detail. We can say that Watson offers a competent, well-researched (though all-t00-brief) guide to 1 Peter. I will just mention a few texts.
1:9: "salvation of your souls." Watson: "The soul is not the soul in distinction from the body, to be rescued from imprisonment in the body at death, as in much Greek thought, but a person's essence or self-identity, as in OT thought" (27). Right!
1:13: "gird up the loins of your mind." Watson makes the argument that, because "your" is plural in Greek and "mind" is singular, Peter is particularly calling the readers to "work as a corporate body rather than rallying each member to his or her own individual effort" (32). This is a nice sentiment, but hardly a foregone conclusion syntactically. This would be an example of the "distributive genitive" where it means "mind of each of you." Think about LXX Lev 19:27 where it is forbidden that any male should shave "the beard (s) of you (pl)." This is NOT referring to their national collective beard (!), but simply each person's beard.
4:6: "For this reason the gospel was preached even to the dead." This has long been a perplexing passage, but I think Watson makes a good case that "Most likely the dead are a portion of all the dead mentioned in verse 5. They are the Christians who had the gospel preached to them, but have since died." (99).
2 Peter
Callan writes on 2 Peter and takes this text to be pseudonymous. He bases his view largely on the "testamentary character" of 2 Peter. He also points to problems regarding vocabulary and style. Later on, he tries to help readers alleviate any moral dilemma by suggesting that if 2 Peter was read as a "testament," the first readers would have presumed Peter did not write it (165-66). I am not sure this is as convincing as Callan thinks. I think that there are simply too many versimilitudes (features that identify the author with Peter and his experiences) to conclude that it would have been a no-brainer this was NOT Peter.
In some of his earlier statements in the commentary, Callan raises the question, is 2 Peter representative of "early Catholicism"? He notes Bauckham's identification features for EC: (1) fading hope of Christ's Parousia, (2) increasing institutionalization, and (3) crystallization of the faith into set forms. Callan, following Bauckham's perspective, concludes that, if these are the criteria, then 2 Peter is quite clearly not representative of "early Catholicism." (164-165). I think this is right.
As for the commentary notes, I will not give any examples, but overall the comments are reliable and often insightful.
Especially because there has not been much attention paid to the Catholic Epistles in NT scholarship until relatively recently in history, I am happy to see this volume on 1-2 Peter. Nothing really earth-shattering is argued by either of the authors (Watson and Callan), but that is not really the purpose of the series. The Paideia series aims to teach students the critical issues involved in the text, the general thrust of the text, and the theological significance of the text. No doubt we find an extremely competent volume that accomplishes these aims admirably.

Less Than I Would Have Hoped For
Memo to Rick Perry, right-wing Islamophobes, and WE Network: YOU ARE DUMB.
There are non-Fergusony things going on this week. Not a lot, but some. And it's my duty to bring these tales of general stupidity, and, well, bigotry against not-black-people to you in the traditional SPASTIC TOPIC MONKEY FRIDAY format.
So, Rick Perry's in a bit of trouble. It didn't go down the way it wouild in my dreams. As a rich white politician, Rick Perry was able to schedule his mug shot, was not arrested, is not being held, did not get Tased, did not get shot, is not facing execution in a state with a clemency-averse governor, and will not be slave labor in a corporate for-profit prison. But still, it's better than him not being indicted for abuse of power.
Perry, of course, claims it's politically motivated, and the media seems inclined to agree with him. And this is a state that couldn't keep Tom DeLay as a convicted felon, so really, all I can hope for is that Perry is slightly inconvenienced by the whole thing. I am disappointed that the police department that took his mug shot didn't let him wear his new glasses, though. I would have loved to speculate about the Perry campaign's decision-making process about whether or not he should pretend to look smart while taking a mug shot.
It's kind of a shame the wingnut Islamophobes can't be satisfied. They've finally found, or, depending on your views of American foreign policy, brought about, their ultimate nightmare Muslims in the Islamic State. Warmongering, massacring, beheading, rampaging complete bastards who have established The Caliphate. It's a very small caliphate, but still. Caliphate. All they have to do is mention Sharia and "dhimmi", and they could be a Pam Gellar blog post brought to life.
And you'd think that would be enough. We can bomb them fairly indiscriminately and nobody will get too mad, we can go back to war in Iraq in three to seven hundred "military advisor" chunks (that's 600 to 1,400 boots on the ground although there will be no boots on the ground) and they've got a brown enemy. But no, that's not enough. They have to extrapolate from the British-accented shitheel who beheaded a hostage live on camera to anyone with a tan and a beard that crosses their path. Be happy with what you have, assholes! Don't get greedy with your racism.
And finally, I should get out ahead of the curve and address the news reports that started last night about the WE (Women's Entertainment) Network's new show, Sex Box.
The premise is that people on the show fuck. In a box. You don't see them, but they're fucking. In a box. On TV.
Now, normally, I would fully embrace the whole decadent, Last Days of Pompeii, I'd Buy That For A Dollar nature of the show. But WE has to pretend it's respectable, so it's a "relationship" show where a couple talk to a panel of relationship therapists, and then go fuck in a box, and then talk some more to relationship therapists.
It's not even what I initially and wishfully extrapolated from the teaser paragraph in my RSS feed - I thought, and would be much happier with, a show where the therapists get to watch and critique and offer tips in a sort of real life coaching/MST3K experience. I'd find out what channel WE was on my cable box for that.
But no, it's more respectable Puritan exploitation from the pretending-we're-not-repressed capital of the world. Disappointing.

Red corn poppies (Papaver rhoeas, coquelicot in French) are common in fields during summer time here. Driving through the countryside bordered by stretches of green meadows dotted with flimsy red flowers gently swaying to the cool breeze on a clear summer day with a blue sky is a memorable experience. The view is a palette of primary colors that breathes of care-free days, of daydreaming under a tree, of staring at the horizon reliving some cherished happy memories. The vista's bucolic charm is so inspiring there's no wonder Claude Monet painted several tableaux of this landscape. And it also did not come as a surprise that many people remember at least one of these paintings (if not the artist).
I know these are more appropriate as summer photos. But then, it's nice to have something "warm" to look at as we wait for spring to come. And look at the black and white center of the flower. It is shaped like a cross, the usual representation of Christ. So I'm thinking red and green with Christ in the heart of it (literally and figuratively) equals Christmas. And this red poppy is a good representation of it.
In any case, whether you see it that way or not, this red poppy is still beautiful to me. Last summer was actually the first time I saw a poppy like this (or maybe it's just because I have never taken a closer look at these flowers before). It grew by itself in our garden; perhaps, the wind blew some seeds of it from somewhere. Although field poppies are generally considered as weeds, I like them. And I hope a gentle zephyr breeze will deposit some more of them next year.

This paper published in the journal Golden Research Thoughts aims at describing the different initiatives undertaken by the expert committees and Government of India in tackling the flood problem of India. The paper traces the history of flood management in India, its successes and failures, the methods and structures used for flood management in the past and present and suggests on the way forward by reflecting on the earlier and current situation and progress we have made on flood control in India.
The paper informs that floods are one of the natural calamities that India faces almost every year in varying degree of magnitude. The frequent occurrence of floods can be attributed to various factors, including wide variation in rainfall over time and space and inadequate carrying capacity of rivers. The problems get accentuated due to silting, bank erosion, landslides, poor natural drainage, glacial lake outburst, etc. Indiscriminate development and encroachment of flood plain areas, improper planning & construction of roads, railway lines, etc. have also been responsible for increase in flood damages.
The paper goes on to describe/shed light on the policy history for tackling floods in India. In India, a National Flood Control programme was launched in 1953. By 1979, 9.75 billion rupees (nearly $1 billion) had been spent on embankments and other structural controls. Flood management schemes have also been taken up by respective State Governments in their successive plans. It is estimated that a total of 16,199 km length of embankments and 32,003 km length of drainage channels have been constructed, a total of 906 towns were protected and 4,721 villages were provided protection from floods up to the year 1997. From the above works, it is estimated that an area of 14.37m.ha has benefited.
In addition to the structural flood protection measures, non-structural measures like flood forecasting and warning of incoming floods have also played a significant role in reducing the loss of life and movable property apart from alerting authorities in-charge to take appropriate to deal with floods. The Central Water Commission manages a major network of such flood forecasting stations on inter-state rivers in 18 states. The techniques of observation of hydrological and hydro-meteorological data and their transmission to the forecasting station have been constantly under review and updating. Similarly, inflow forecasting activity is also constantly being reviewed for making necessary improvements to make the forecasts more accurate and also to give higher lead time.
However, the paper argues that inspite of these efforts, flood damage is increasing year by year. The emphasis, which till recently, has been on trying to control floods through structural controls, has done very little to improve the situation. There is now a growing body of evidence which makes it increasingly clear that structural controls do little or nothing to reduce the ravages of floods. On the contrary, they would appear to exacerbate the problem, not least by increasing the severity of those floods which occur.
For example, embankments have found to lead to a series of problems, which include:
- Not allowing water from outside to come in, creating water logging outside, seepage from underneath the embankments adding to the problems
- No embankment is break proof, and when they break they variously bring deluge, prolonged water logging and sand casting
- A situation of conflict arises between those who are within the embankments, who would like to break the embankment to reduce the water level within the embankment and those who are outside, who would like the embankment to remain intact
- The embankments have to constructed sufficiently wide so that the embanked river is able to carry the flood peaks, keeping in view the fact that the earthen embankments cannot stand velocities adjacent to banks exceeding about 1.2 to 1.5 meters per second
- The existence of embankments changes the character of floods in the area. The floods are sudden, can have greater destructive power, bring a huge quantity of sand with it and remain for longer periods
The paper ends by arguing that, focus thus needs to be on flood management and not flood control. Flood management does not aim at total elimination or control of floods or providing total immunity from the effects of all magnitudes of floods, which is neither practicable from economic considerations nor even necessary, keeping in view other realities that are faced in the Indian context. A multipronged strategy ranging from modifying the floods by means of structural measures to learning to live with the floods by means of other non structural measures is well within pragmatic realism in flood management. An efficient flood management is a special case of water management and requires a most holistic approach as it involves the management of thousands of micro-watersheds in both the catchment and the flood prone areas.

With it being Halloween weekend [at the time of this writing], what better time is there to take a look back on WCW's Halloween-themed show, Halloween Havoc? Halloween Havoc ran from 1989 to 2000 and was known for its extravagant set designs and for some it's high's and many of it's low's. Let's look back on the best and worst moments of this pay-per-view.
THE BEST Halloween Havoc 1989's Inaugural Pay-per-View- The Great Muta saves the day
Halloween Havoc 1989 took place on October 28, 1989, at the Philadelphia Civic Center in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. This event was held in association with the National Wrestling Alliance (NWA) and touted the main event of Ric Flair and Sting against The Great Muta and Terry Funk in a Thunderdome Cage match with Bruno Sammartino serving as special guest referee. The match can only end when either Gary Hart (representing Muta & Funk) or Ole Anderson (representing Sting & Flair) threw in the towel for one of their guys. The high from this event occurs before the main event even began…
Gary Hart:
"I put Terry Funk and The Great Muta together as a tag team, which apparently was something of a big deal – given Terry's allegiance to All Japan and The Great Muta's ties to New Japan. Anyhow, they teamed up for a Halloween Havoc pay-per-view where they wrestled the team of Ric Flair and Sting in an electrified steel cage match. This was based out of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, so Bruno Sammartino was brought in to be the guest referee that night. Bruno was very friendly and cordial to me and wasn't as cold as he had been in the past. As I had mentioned, the cage was electrified, and it had all of these Halloween decorations on it. Right before the match started, someone turned on the electricity, and way up on top of the cage, one of the decorations caught on fire. The Great Muta saw that and immediately scampered up the top rope and blew it out with his green mist. I was so proud of him."
Gary Michael Cappetta:
"We [used to joke] about the Halloween Havoc pay-per-view, when the intense heat of the overhead TV lights set the cage decorations on fire during the live broadcast. And how Muta scaled the structure and spit out a mouthful of green mist to save the day."

THE WORST Halloween Havoc: 1998 – Well, that didn't work…
Where to begin on this show? Let's just file this one under the, "Well, that didn't work!" category. What could and should have been one of the greatest pay-per-views of all time, went downhill quickly. Our sharing of the worst of Halloween Havoc is a two-parter.
Let us start with the rematch of Hulk Hogan and Warrior (his legal name by this point), a battle between two stubborn veterans in a rematch which many refer to as the worst match of all time. Let's dig in…
Hogan vs Warrior III:
"The 1998 card is infamous for featuring a widely pilloried rematch of the main event of WrestleMania IV, a 1990 pay-per-view event produced by WCW's rival the World Wrestling Federation in which The Ultimate Warrior had defeated Hulk Hogan for the WWF Championship. Their 1998 return bout is regarded by critics as one of the worst matches of all time. Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter awarded it a minimum score of minus five stars out of five (the lowest ever for a WCW contest), and readers of the publication voted it the worst match of the year. Readers of professional wrestling magazine Power Slam cast the same vote; editor Fin Martin called it "one of the worst matches ever held." Then-WCW announcer Gene Okerlund described the contest as a "disaster". Comparing the WrestleMania VI and Halloween Havoc 1998 bouts, Warrior stated: "It's weird that my best match ever was with Hogan, and at the same time my worst match ever was with Hogan". Hogan felt the contest was "ruined" by his botching a spot he himself devised, in which he was supposed to "burn" the Warrior with flash paper: Hogan instead lit the paper in his own face and legit burnt his mustache and eyebrows. This led to an improvised ending in which Hogan's nephew, Horace, hit Warrior with what Sports Illustrated writer Luke Winkie called "the most unsatisfying chair shot in history". Winkie also observed a lack of co-operation between the two combatants, who did not get along personally, and slammed the contest as a "passive-aggressive wankfest". Hogan unequivocally said of the failed bout, "It was my fault."
Former WCW president Eric Bischoff conceded critical opinion that Hogan vs. Warrior II was one of the worst matches in history, and admitted that it "pretty much stunk up the joint." He, however, dismissed the notion that he had hired Warrior solely to lose to Hogan in return for Hogan's WrestleMania VI loss, claiming that this is "not true" and that those who hold this belief are "drinking their own Kool-Aid". Warrior, on the other hand, said: "They used [Ted] Turner's checkbook to buy me to come back to lose a match to Hulk [Hogan]…it was repulsive, to me, when I finally realized it. And if I would have known I would never have gone back for all the money that they gave me." WrestleCrap journalist Art O'Donnell and Fin Martin of Power Slam have also disputed Bischoff's claims, the latter writing that WCW "hired Warrior at great expense in May 1998 specifically to massage the Hogan ego."
Going overtime, leading to the feed terminating during the main event:
WCW ran Halloween Havoc 1998 to three-and-a-half hours, rather than the standard three; due to this, many PPV feeds ended while the main event, Goldberg vs. Diamond Dallas Page, was still underway. WCW aired the match the following night for free on Nitro. WWE journalist Kevin Powers hailed the bout as the best ever held at the Halloween Havoc event while criticizing Hogan vs. Warrior. He wrote: "It's hard to believe that thousands of pay-per-view customers missed the main event of Halloween Havoc 1998 because WCW ran out of broadcast time. By some cruel twist of fate, fans did get to watch the disastrous WrestleMania VI rematch between The Ultimate Warrior and Hulk Hogan, only to see their screens go black just as Diamond Dallas Page prepared to lock up with undefeated WCW Champion Goldberg in what was the best match in the October event's 11-year span." Luke Winkie of Sports Illustrated said of Goldberg vs. Page: "It's a great match…if more TVs carried this match maybe the Warrior/Hogan disaster would be less remembered."
RELATED: WrestleMania 9: The Controversy Behind HULK HOGAN Winning the Title
Eric Bischoff recounts his version of Halloween Havoc 1998
"Talk about your shit storms.
Our 1998 Halloween Havoc Pay-Per-View ran about fifteen minutes over the time allotted. A large portion of the paying audience went dark and missed the end of the match. As bad as that was, the fallout from trying to fix it was even worse.
Matches go longer than they should for any number of reasons. Wrestling isn't a science. When you send a wrestler out and say, "Okay, you have ten minutes to get your match in," sometimes they get it to within thirty seconds. Sometimes they go five minutes over. At a Pay-Per-View where there are eight or nine matches, if four or five go significantly over, you end up going into your main event short of time.
The main event is the reason that most people buy the Pay-Per-View, and it's usually supposed to go twenty or twenty-five minutes. So you're faced with a tough situation. If the match ends when it's supposed to end—say after only seven minutes—it leaves a very bad taste in the mouths of the consumers. On the other hand, if you go over, you run the very real risk of losing your satellite time. Unless you've made prior arrangements, you go off the bird when your time is up.
I don't remember exactly what happened at Halloween Havoc, but I assume that the earlier matches ran over significantly. At some point, we realized we had a problem, and we scrambled. We got hold of the Pay-Per-View companies and explained what was going on, asking for more satellite time. For the most part, we were given reason to believe that we had the additional time.
The Pay-Per-View industry wasn't as sophisticated back then as it is now. For whatever reason, while some of our customers ended up getting the signal, the majority did not. Most of the people who had bought the Pay-Per-View never saw the finish."

May 2015
New industry, four long years, endless working hours, several ups and downs, numerous awards at #2 position and we finally arrive where we were originally headed – THE #1 BROKER OFFICE IN THE RE/MAX INDIA NEWTORK!! 2014-2015 has been nothing short of a fantabulous year at RE/MAX Realty Solutions, a strong team of 16 like-minded individuals decided to take their game to the next level in 2014-2015 and that is exactly what they did.

The Indian Cricket Board slamed at the former England great Ian Botham's criticism of the highly lucrative Indian Premier League, saying he had no rights to talk over IPL, and advised him to first get the facts correct before commenting the Twenty20 League.
"Let him get his facts correct first. He has asked how the other boards have allowed IPL to happen. The BCCI has distributed over ten million US dollars as compensation to the other cricket boards for allowing their players to play in the IPL," expressed BCCI secretary Sanjay Patel, when he was asked for his reaction to Botham's statement during his MCC Spirit of Cricket Cowdrey Lecture at Lord's in London on September 3.
Talking to PTI, Patel questioned about the rights of Botham to comment over IPL and gently reminded the former England player of his relationship with disgraced Texas financier Allen Stanford who promised to set up a T20 League like IPL, but was put behind bars in USA instead for deceiving investors through a Ponzi scheme, putting an end to his T20 dream.
"I can still visualise the photo of Botham sitting in the front when Stanford went to England. And he has the temerity to talk about IPL. We don't want his advice. We have enough top players like Sunil Gavaskar, Ravi Shastri, Kapil Dev and Rahul Dravid to advice us," he remarked.
