Morristown, New JerseyPhotos, maps and news from Morristown, New Jersey.Updated April 28, 2018.
Morristown is a town and county seat of Morris County, New Jersey, United States. Morristown has been called "the military capital of the American Revolution" because of its strategic role in the war for independence from Great Britain. Today this history is visible in a variety of locations throughout the town that collectively make up Morristown National Historical Park. According to British colonial records, the first permanent European settlement at Morristown occurred in 1715, when a settlement was founded as New Hanover by migrants from New York and Connecticut. Morris County was created on March 15, 1739, from portions of Hunterdon County. The county, and ultimately Morristown itself, was named for the popular Governor of the Province, Lewis Morris, who championed benefits for the colonists. Morristown was incorporated as a town by an act of the New Jersey Legislature on April 6, 1865, within Morris Township, and it was formally set off from the township in 1895. As of the 2010 United States Census, the town's population was 18,411, reflecting a decline of 133 (-0.7%) from the 18,544 counted in the 2000 Census, which had in turn increased by 2,355 (+14.5%) from the 16,189 counted in the 1990 Census.

i picked up no. 7 in san sebastian. you can read about it below and you can go through the archive here.
expect a lot of local low brow artists and many connections to surf culture.
– the first thing that caught my eye was a picture of fellow romanian, model kaan tilki. it's one of the pictures illustrating an interview by maurizio anzeri, an italian artist who made a name for himself by sewing on old pictures. i looked into it and i found out that the pic featuring mr. kaan is part of a commission for dazed and confused. i love it so much, i'd totally hang a large-scale print-out somewhere in my apartment!
– formol fabrika is an illustrator (his website and his blog). i like his funny and sick style!
– algora is an emerging musician about to launch his third album: todo es mentira/everything is a lie. his soft electro pop is pretty good.
– sew'n'sing are eli and arika, two friends making made to measure surf covers and bags for neoprene suits. here you have their collaboration with japanese surf brand, andgrailsl. i like how they succeeded in building a cool little brand for themselves!
– benjamin jeanjean has a super exciting black and white style of drawing. a former billabong illustrator/designer/stylist, this free lance artist/shaper has a current collaboration with the sew'n'sing girls for a limited edition of surfboards for rvca. making their ideas reality was challenging but the resulting boards looked so great rvca exhibited them around the world.
the mag greatly exceeded my expectations for a free publication: it's interesting, original and well put together. i feel quite lucky to have laid my hands on a copy so i befriended them on facebook to keep an eye on their latest projects!

Alvaro Bautista maintained his 100% record in the 2019 Superbike World Championship, with two more wins at a freezing cold TT Circuit Assen this weekend.
The wintery weather in the Netherlands played havoc with Saturday's schedule, with heavy snowfall postponing Saturday's race until Sunday, with the Sunday morning sprint race being cancelled.
Pre-race, much of the talk was about whether or not Bautista could continue the form that had seen him win all nine races out of nine in 2019. Unlike the three previous tracks, the flowing Assen circuit has no real long straights for the powerful new Ducati Panigale V4 R to stretch its legs. With world champ Jonathan Rea usually untouchable around the Dutch track, and Ducati handed a 250rpm rev limit cap, expectations for closer racing was expected – and although the Rea took it to the Spaniard in race two, the results remained the same.
Rea's weekend was made more difficult by a chaotic qualifying session that was red flagged in the closing stages after a three rider crash. With the four-time champ among the riders forced to abandon their fast lap, the Kawasaki rider found himself a lowly eighth on the grid, with Bautista on top despite struggling through Friday's practice sessions.
Race one saw Bautista lead from start to finish, taking the flag three seconds ahead of Rea and local star Michael van der Mark on his Yamaha YZF-R1, while the second outing saw Rea make a jet propelled start from the third row to hit the front and lead for the first five laps.
In a thrilling race, Bautista was able to take the lead and ease away to win by nearly five seconds, but behind him there was an intense battle between Rea and Van der Mark, which the Dutchman won despite a strong last lap challenge from the champ.
It was a mixed day for the other British contenders. Alex Lowes bagged a pair of fourth places on the second Yamaha to retain third in the championship, behind Bautista and Rea, while Chaz Davies took a fifth and a seventh on his Ducati. Tom Sykes was 10thand seventh on the new BMW S1000RR, while Leon Camier took an 11thand 12thon his Honda.
The championship now takes a one month break, resuming at Italy's classic Imola circuit on the weekend of 10-12 May.

I've been waiting for a quality citizen newspaper to hit the cyber streets. One that gives me the headlines, and links to similar articles, updated by my peers, trustworthy (!), maybe ability to comment and rant, and so on. In the meantime, I have news aggregators such as Yahoo!7 News headlines and GoogleNews and stuff emailed to me; if I'm interested I click through and if I can find the article's text in amongst the barrage of ads, I'm happy. Need more information? Hop over to Wikipedia and grab more indepth stuff, I'm home and hosed.
I'm also a fool.
Wikipedia is the citizen newspaper. I saw Ken Lay's death reported on a few news services and read the brief info there. Then I had a giggle at Crikey.com's article, they are soooo naughty and irreverent aren't they? (irreverent I said, not irrelevant!). Then I scampered over to Wikipedia to read their bits and bobs on Ken Lay and Enron. It wasn't until I came across this piece from the Washington Post that I remembered (again) that WikiPedia is updated in realtime by real people. Silly me.
Ken Lay's death prompts confusion on Wikipedia
ReutersWednesday, July 5, 2006; 5:55 PM
NEW YORK (Reuters) – The death of former Enron Corp. chief Ken Lay on Wednesday underscored the challenges facing online encyclopedia Wikipedia (http://www.wikipedia.org/), which as the news was breaking offered a variety of causes for his death.
Wikipedia, an online encyclopedia that anyone can edit, added news of Lay's death to his online biography shortly after news outlets began reporting it at around 10 a.m. EDT (1400 GMT).
At 10:06 a.m., Wikipedia's entry for Lay said he died "of an apparent suicide."
At 10:08, it said he died at his Aspen, Colorado home "of an apparent [heart attack] or [suicide]."
Within the same minute, it said the cause of death was "yet to be determined."
At 10:09 a.m., it said "no further details have been officially released" about the death.
Two minutes later, it said: "The guilt of ruining so many lives finally (sic) led him to his suicide."
At 10.12 a.m., this was replaced by: "According to Lay's pastor the cause was a 'massive coronary' heart attack."
By 10:39 a.m., Lay's entry said: "Speculation as to the cause of the heart attack lead many people to believe it was due to the amount of stress put on him by the Enron trial." This statement was later dropped.
By early Wednesday afternoon, the entry said Lay was pronounced dead at Aspen Valley Hospital, citing the Pitkin, Colorado sheriff's department. It said he apparently died of a massive heart attack, citing KHOU-TV in Houston.
Officials at Wikipedia did not immediately return phone and e-mail requests for comment. Its Web site warns users that "newer articles may still contain significant misinformation, unencyclopedic content, or vandalism." Wikipedia says it has 13,000 active writers and editors.
The real question here is; Do we care that "newer articles may still contain significant misinformation"? Do we care that the information takes a day or two to settle down? Do we believe think it's less relevant than waiting on a journo who will report what the secretary said, or a 'source close to the deceased'??
I don't.

David Havyatt says:
Hey Laurel – so what's different. Official news sources – and the Government itself – were coming out with different versions of Private Kovco's death for up to 48 hours.
I think you can find the same on televised news – its easy to show the picture of the burning building, but what caused the blaze.
The professional media would argue that they provide two features – they offer selection (you can't report everything) and verification (you can trust that we've checked this). I think online citizen news can get to verification almost as quickly.
I was speaking to some journalists from the Press Gallery in Canberra. A lot of their sources are *secret*. People with an axe to grind who spill the beans on condition of anonymity. Experts in a particular area who believe their findings were not reportedly accurately in Gov papers and so on. However, after reporting the information to their fave press guy, they can often feel further maligned if the information is ignored (not of interest to the public) or given a spin and so on.
Enter the blog. Those sources are going to dry up for the journo – the relationship will become even more fragile. Will any and every blogger have the exposure they want? No of course not, but a few will break through, become must-reads, and have 15 lines of fame. Will they take on the role the Press Gallery guys presently have? What can be done? Ah, well a few things. The Journo has the edge here and can maximise it. I'm not saying it will be easy – just don't leave it too late!

Approval minutes
The minutes from the July 28, 2014 Audit Committee Meeting were approved.
Annual Wikimedia Foundation Audit
Karen Cordeiro and Nancy Rose of KPMG presented the Audit Report. The responsibilities of all parties to the audit were reviewed: WMF Management, KPMG and the Audit Committee. Audit Committee responsibilities include:
oversight of the financial reporting process;
oversight of the establishment and maintenance of effective internal control over
financial reporting;
oversight of the establishment and maintenance of programs and internal controls
designed to prevent and detect fraud;
in concert with the Foundation management, setting the proper tone and creating
and maintaining a culture of honesty and high ethical standards. The KPMG audit:
Reviewed significant contribution agreements;
Sample-tested contributions by vouching to support documentation and verified
appropriate classification;
Tested 100% of contributions from key payment processors;
Performed analytic over employee salary increases and employee headcount;
Performed trend analysis over operating expenses;
Reviewed the allocation methodology and tested significant assumptions;
Confirmed balances with financial institutions;
Sample-tested reconciling items (deposits in transit, outstanding checks, interbank transfers);
Confirmed 100% of investments;
Sample tested securities to assess fair value;
Vouched samples of additions to supporting documents (One "out of period item was found" meaning the purchase of the item was recorded in the fiscal year after the year it was actually purchased. The purchase was fully appropriate but the books for the year in which the purchase was made were closed so it was recorded in the following fiscal year.);
Performed ratio analysis over depreciation expense;
Sample-tested awards and grants to chapters;
Reviewed financial statement disclosures in compliance with the U.S. GAAP and not-for-profit accounting standards;
Performed inquiry and obtained legal responses from in-house legal counsel and external legal firms.
No misstatements, omissions, material weaknesses or significant deficiencies were found. There were no significant related party transactions found. Both the Financial Statement and the Balance Sheet were reviewed and were consistent with prior years. Funds have increased year over year. There was an increase in liabilities of $4,127,984.00 due, in part, to an agreement by the Wikimedia Foundation to be the fiscal sponsor for the Wiki Education Foundation. The Wiki Education Foundation grant from the Stanton Foundation ($1,136,588.00) is temporarily on the Wikimedia The committee discussed Wikimedia's contract with Automattic as a potential related party transaction. KPMG noted that Automattic was a related party, but the small size of the contract means it was not classified as significant. Foundation's books while the Wiki Education Foundation applies for their own 501(c)3 which they should have by mid-October 2014. A new and now ongoing liability, based on recent experiences, is a result of the Foundation's decision to manage the finances for the annual Wikimania event rather than giving the hosting chapter a grant to manage it. A question was raised regarding how KPMG confirms their independence from their audit clients. Nancy explained that KMPG has established a process that requires each employee to validate their independence on a daily basis and complete a survey verifying that independence on a quarterly basis. Items that are accessed are investments, loans, insurance products and spousal employment. The client for whom KPMG is performing the audit cannot have any other contracts with KPMG. Tony Le, the Foundation's Controller and his team were thanked for all of their work during the year and on the Audit. The Audit and the Audit Report were approved by the Audit Committee. Nancy and Karen left the meeting.
U.S. Trust has been selected as the investment advisor for the Wikimedia Foundation. They were chosen because they offer a wide range of services, they have a good and experienced team and their fee was very competitive. U.S. Trust has agreed to reporting that will be fully transparent and the Foundation has permission to directly publish the reports which will be provided both monthly and quarterly. U.S. Trust will also provide reports explaining their choice of particular investments from a market standpoint. Reports are shared with the Board and the Audit Committee. Interested community members who request the reports can also receive them. Decisions regarding investments are guided by the Foundation's Investment Policy which is provided by the Board. The Foundation will now have both short and long term funds. The long term funds are new for the Foundation and we are fortunate to have the resources to create such a fund. For short term investments, the Foundation seeks to match the rate of inflation without posing undue risk. The policy has been and will remain to buy and hold, rather than chasing high returns that can present high risk.
For the time being $2 million of the Foundation's investments will stay with Smith Affiliated Capital.

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — When the 2019 West Virginia Legislative Session begins Wednesday, WVU will be lobbying for legislation relating to the higher education budget, anti-hazing laws and campus carry.
Foremost, the University will be looking into stabilizing the funds allocated to higher education, Rob Alsop, vice president for strategic initiatives at WVU, said in an interview in December.
"The big priority, which every year for us is the state appropriations," he said. "[Over the] last five or six years, we've seen pretty significant cuts."

Changes Coming In The Intelligence Authorization Act for 2008
The Senate Intelligence Committe delivered several rebuffs to the White House in the recent report accompanying the Intelligence Authorization Act for 2008. The Act contains several significant new provisions that will change how the intelligence community works on some sensitive matters. Among the changes:
A provision allowing the declassification of documents in the public interest -- at the best of Congress, without presidential approval. Previously, the president had complete control over the declassification process.
Requires the Director of National Intelligence (DNI) to sumbit a report to Congress on its compliance with laws passed in 2005 and 2006 dealing with the treatment of detainees in top-secret CIA prisons. This section drops the term "war crimes" into the discussion.
Strengthened reporting of covert actions, as well as stipulating that a previous legislative mandate to report covert actions also includes reporting "any change to a covert action finding" rather than the previous "any significant change."
Required substantially increased reporting of actions before secret courts under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act. This is one of the most important tools used for domestic spying.
Demands copies of ALL president's daily briefs mentioning Iraq be sent to congressional intelligence committees. This one is probably the most direct challenge to the unfettered authority of the White House, though much of the rest will rankle as well.
Insitutes accountability reviews for intelligence failures. This is a long overdue step.
Gives the DNI new power to appropriate funds and personnel from a particular agency into an interagency effort.
Adds two new critical technology positions and institutes an inter-agency Inspector General for the intelligence community.
Increased penalties for disclosing the identity of intelligence operatives.
The CIA prison program got more space in the comments section:
More than five years after the decision to start the program, however, the Committee believes that consideration should be given to whether it is the best means to obtain a full and reliable intelligence debriefing of a detainee. Both Congress and the Administration must continue to evaluate whether having a separate CIA detention program that operates under different interrogation rules than those applicable to military and law enforcement officers is necessary, lawful, and in the best interests of the United States.
Moreover, the Committee believes that the demonstrated value of the program should be weighed against both the complications it causes to any ultimate prosecution of these terrorists, and the damage the program does to the image of the United States abroad.
It also expressed deep concern about al Qaeda's continued ability to survive and thrive in the face of our most aggressive tactics.
The Committee is concerned with recent assessments that indicate al-Qa'ida has regenerated and resumed its operational planning against western targets from its relative safe haven in the tribal areas of Pakistan. Despite the apprehension and death of key leaders, al-Qa'ida continues to train operatives and expand its reach, as evidenced by the 2007 North Africa attacks by the newly named "al-Qa'ida in the Maghreb."
The resurgence of al-Qa'ida, nearly six years after the terrorist attacks of September 11,2001, suggests the Intelligence Community should reevaluate its current strategy to defeat the al-Qa'ida network. The Committee addresses this issue further in the classified annex.

Choosing a wedding photographer is difficult. This is someone you have to trust to eternalize the most beautiful day of your life. This is why Charles Bishop Pompano Beach Florida felt it was important to provide an FAQ on wedding photography. He hopes that, through this, more people will be able to have those magical moments photographed perfectly once and for all.
This all depends on whether you have a destination wedding, how much of the day you want your photographer to shoot, what type of album you want, how many pictures you want, and which style of photography you want. If you start by trying to find a wedding photographer based solely on budget, you may as well just give your guests a digital camera each.
Again, this is very hard to answer. However, if you see a quote for $3,000, it better include a whole lot more very special things than those who charge around $1,500.
The photographer wants to leave after the cake is cut.
This is quite normal. After the cutting of the cake, the party starts and that is not something most people want to take professional photographs of. Usually, the cake is cut after the first dance and even the speeches, so you should have photographs of the main elements.
Many photographers nowadays will give you a disc with every picture they took and it is up to you to choose which ones should go in the album. Thanks to digital printing, you can put as many in an album as you want, although more pictures means more money. 50 pictures is about the average.
How can I find the best photographer?
The very best way to find a truly good photographer is to speak to trusted friends. They know what matters to you and how important this day is, so they are most likely to be honest about the photographers that they know. The internet is also a good place to find photographers, but make sure you read lots of independent reviews first.
I had an interview with the photographer and while their work is good, I don't like them personally. What should I do?
You should find another photographer. If you don't like someone, you won't truly trust them either and the result will never quite be what you had hoped for.
I want to receive the photographs straight away, but I am being charged more for that. Why?
Some photographers will sell you their pictures there and then. Essentially, they will hand over their camera's SD card. However, this means, firstly, that they need a double SD card, as they also have to have the pictures for their portfolio. Secondly, it means that you will have all those pictures that they would normally delete because it will make them look bad. That is worth some money. And if you want them to take the time to delete those first, it will cost you even more.

Vancouver, British Columbia–(Newsfile Corp. – January 28, 2022) – Cruz Battery Metals Corp. (CSE: CRUZ) (OTC Pink: BKTPF) (FSE: A3CWU7) ("Cruz" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has expanded the 100-percent owned 'Solar Lithium Project' in Nevada by approximately 1,920 contiguous acres to now encompass 8,135 total contiguous acres. The 'Solar Lithium Project' directly borders American Lithium Corp.'s TLC project (see map below). This strategically located land was added based on the data gathered so far on the 'Solar Lithium Project'.
On January 17, 2022, the Company announced assays for first phase of drilling on the 'Solar Lithium Project'. Multiple intercepts of the targeted potential lithium-bearing claystone formation were encountered in all the holes drilled in this initial phase of drilling. Values in Hole-1 were as high as 1,300 ppm/Li and encountered lithium bearing clays from 10 feet to 200 feet with a 60-foot intercept averaging 968.33 ppm/Li. Hole-2 had a high value of 1120 ppm/Li including a 60-foot interval averaging 768 ppm/Li. Hole-3 was stopped while still drilling the targeted claystone due to a blizzard that made drilling impossible. Cruz Management cautions that past results or discoveries on properties in proximity to Cruz may not necessarily be indicative of the presence of mineralization on the Company's properties.
Jim Nelson, President of Cruz states, "Following the receipt of our initial drill results on the Solar Lithium Project in Nevada, we immediately decided to acquire significant, additional strategically located acreage, which directly borders American Lithium Corp.'s TLC project, who have a current market capitalization of approximately $650 million. The Solar Lithium property is one of the largest in the region, and we have drilled less than 10 percent of this large land package. We are planning an aggressive follow up drill program to test a larger portion of this property now that we know there is significant lithium present. This new discovery is coming at a time when lithium prices are at all-time highs. Our goal is to locate and provide a new, domestically sourced, battery grade lithium deposit and we are pleased to have these initial drill results right in the heart of the top lithium address in the USA. Management is very optimistic about what this project will mean for Cruz in the near and long term, and we are very bullish for 2022 and beyond."

Tests are underway to evaluate variations in design and operating parameters including temperature, pH, initial concentration of lithium, and residence time to improve process flow-sheet
Additional innovative proprietary testing underway – expectation for new intellectual property development
VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Jan. 28, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) —
United Lithium Corp. (CSE: ULTH; OTC: ULTHF; FWB: 0UL) ("ULTH" or the "Company"), is pleased to provide an update on its lithium hydroxide testing program. Test work continues with lithium hydroxide results expected by the end of February.
Test work has included combinations of tests with various process design and operating parameters including temperature, pH, residence time, and different concentrations of lithium in the feed solutions. These tests are in progress utilizing an experimental apparatus which was constructed based on a modular design shown in Figure 1.
A photo accompanying this announcement is available at https://www.globenewswire.com/NewsRoom/AttachmentNg/fe28a3bb-048a-419a-84d5-f0b6b103bf38
This test work program is led by Dr. Abdul Halim, CTO of Process Research Ortech Inc. His out-of-the-box thinking and entrepreneurial spirit has already brought success to United Lithium's program with improvements in lithium mineral concentrate production from petalite and spodumene feed materials, high lithium recovery rates to produce high-purity lithium carbonate, and improvements to chemical roasting by adding microwave energy. The innovations and testing implemented by Dr. Halim for the current program has provided the Company with several operational innovations and steps that may lead to process cost reduction and increased efficiency in lithium hydroxide production.
"It is a pleasure to work with United Lithium, and their cooperation and support with the innovative ideas and know-how have already led to many improvements in the lithium flow-sheet design. My plans for lithium hydroxide production could lead to a number of improved solutions versus the traditional processes. Our goal is to deliver improved and simpler processing steps and efficiencies, combined with reduced energy, reagents and water requirements," states Dr. Abdul Halim, CTO of Process Research Ortech Inc.
"We are moving forward on multiple exploration and technology fronts simultaneously. United Lithium is keenly aware of the supply/demand imbalance in the lithium market. We are looking where possible to reduce timelines and move each of our projects toward completion of all-important feasibility studies, so we can economically and sustainably realize the value of our projects and technologies," elaborated Michael Dehn, President and CEO of United Lithium.
United Lithium is now in discussion with several technical experts regarding the production of value-added consumer/industrial products from the feldspar, quartz and mica by-products that may be recovered in the mining of lithium pegmatites. This may enable no or low waste mining operations and enable environmentally friendly processing alternatives for these value-added products.
The detailed bench scale test work to develop a flowsheet for value-added by-products from residues/tailings was conceived and supervised by Dr. Abdul Halim, of Process Research Ortech Inc. He has more than 15 years of experience in evaluating, developing and optimizing innovative and sustainable technologies for critical metals including lithium, cobalt, nickel, rare earths (REEs), other base metals, PGMs, gold, and germanium from mined natural resources and recycled manufactured materials through bench, pilot, and demonstration plant operations. He has authored more than 50 scientific and technical papers, holds 5 US patents, and has authored a number of book chapters in these areas. He worked at FLSmidth, Salt Lake City, USA, and SGS Lakefield, Canada prior to joining Process Research Ortech Inc. as a VP Technology.

Being aware of even the smallest of details can help you ride more safely. Here's a question for you to ponder.
You are riding with a with a group of friends. The morning was fun, but a little stressful – the group you're with rides too fast and too close together for your liking, and you don't know the route you're following. At lunch, you notice a couple of your friends having beers with their food. These are the same riders who organized the ride and the ones setting the pace. They suddenly don't seem like such experts anymore.
You overhear that the afternoon will have even more challenging roads and you're feeling a little tired after a big lunch. What would you do?

Anyone who has seen a Cheech and Chong movie, or a more current East LA themed movie, such as From Prada to Nada, knows that East Los Angles, California, USA (East LA) has copious amounts of street art.
I have often driven by this piece of art that is found on the wall of the Catholic Charities building on the corner of Warren Street and East Cesar E Chavez Avenue. Jasson happened to be working across from the building last time I drove by.
Jasson was an amiable 20 year old, who took pride in his work and in his contribution to his community and to society as a whole. When I met Jasson, he had just started working for KSN Electric Gates Inc and was in the process of installing a LiftMaster® Gate Operator. He had been working two years on trimming trees, but liked installing gates better because it required more use of his brain and it was more rewarding.
Jasson was from San Miguel, El Salvador and came to the United States in 2009. He completed one year middle school in Los Angeles, California, USA, and completed secondary school studies at Cleveland High School.

So off I went to a new gaming club and played a game of VC vs VC with an opponent I have never played before (or a club I have never played in either). Situation arose where he had Black Knights to my flank and just moved Blood Knights to the same flank of the unit of skeletons. The unit of skeletons had an impassible piece of terrain guarding 50mm of their flank. So I turn the unit of skeletons so they get frontal charged and my champion is the only thing the Blood Knights can get into contact with, my BSB hides behind the impassible terrain (and in the unit). I am looking at +8 combat res (3 ranks, mass, banner, warbanner, BSB, Vamp +1 CR). Even a frontal charge from both I should win because the Blood Knights will only be able to do 1 wound max (go go sacrificial champions).
So the other player charges his Black Knights at a unit behind the skeleton unit (and yes my skeleton unit is in the way). Frenzy then charges the Blood Knights into my skeletons. He declares sliding and I have to slide my entire unit to maximize his models. His unit of Black Knights are now clear to charge the unit behind the skeletons and get a flank charge.
Add insult to injury, his Blood Knights decimate the skeletons (20 wounds) and over run into the unit the black knights where attacking. He then slides his black Knights down to maximize the Blood Knights models.
Having never played this way before, I was wondering if this is using tactical sliding or abusing the sliding rules to your advantage? Of course if I had not slide 75mm+ to maximize his units I would have wiped out his unit of blood Knights with CR.
Doesn't sound right to me - did you ask him to show you that section in the rulebook?
Page 21, "Aligning the Combatants" clearly states that the attacker must align their unit to you, not the other way around, unless it is impractical to move the attacker. The wording though, "it is acceptable to realing the charged unit as well (or instead)", strikes me at decidedly optional in tone.
It's the rules by the book too ;) Frenzy is the one I'm not too clear on.
Note that the section of Aligning Combatants is not clearly specified in the Rulebook, but states that there are further examples on their website.
Your not allowed to slide a unit aside to let another get into combat or increase the number of models that would normally be allowed to fit before the sliding.
You cannot do that...its blatent cheating.
So the blood knights get very few in combat.
I think that's the sort of thing you are asking, if it isnt can you provide a diagram? It's tricky to visualise.


Mamtek received $39 million in industrial development bonds from Moberly and authorization for up to $17 million of state incentives to build an artificial sweetener plant in the central Missouri city about 30 miles north of Columbia. Construction was halted on the partially completed facility after the company missed a bond payment in August 2011.
Bruce Cole, the chairman and CEO of Mamtek, has been charged with theft and securities fraud and is accused of using bond revenues to avoid foreclosure on his home in Beverly Hills, Calif. The federal Securities Exchange Commission also has filed a lawsuit against Cole seeking financial penalties. Last week, the remaining assets for the plant were sold at auction by UMB Bank, the trustee for bondholders.
Nixon's administration frequently has said no state incentives were paid to Mamtek, but Spence countered that the state incentives helped prompt Moberly to issue its bonds.
In the video, Spence then talks about the role that government should play. As someone who turned a small business into a multi-million dollar operation, Spence believes that government has to have small business owners back by reducing the red-tape and creating an environment that encourages business in Missouri.

In this video clip, courtesy of Andrew Sullivan, Matt Stone and Trey Parker of South Park talk about how their writer's room works. Their two steps are just as valid as you design your talk or outline a grant proposal.
Step 1 is random brainstorming. They use a huge whiteboard to jot down scenes and situations they think would be funny. At this point its all about getting down the ideas. Structure comes later.
When your designing an essay, take a notebook and pen and just scribble down things you think should go in. Don't censor yourself too much. If it sounds interesting, it probably is. Without compelling bits, you won't have much.
Step 2 links the ideas together. The classic formula for South Park is three Acts, strung together make a show. How do they recognize which bits go together? It's definitely *not* Act 1, and then, Act 2, and then Act 3. Act 2 can't just follow Act 1, it has to be introduced. They way they put it, it's Act 1 therefore Act 2 but Act 3. That's when Matt and Trey know they have something interesting.
There is increasing evidence that the globe is one really gynnormous turtle. What we think of as mountains are the ridges of the turtles shell. When we see flat plains, we are seeing the smooth plates, arching subtly to the horizon. Valleys are, of course, the sutures between the plates. Our turtle world hypothesis is complete and consistent with known facts as presented by geologists. Astrophysicists, on the other hand, have raised the logical question as to how "Turtle-earth" is suspended in known space.
Here we present the hypothesis, backed up by Hubbell satellite photos, that it is "turtles all the way down"….

Sean Payton: No sign of Drew Brees slowing down
July 11, 2016 / nshook61
If Sean Payton's Saints are to get back to the Super Bowl any time soon, it will likely include Drew Brees.
The window for success is wide open to Payton, who won't put a time limit on that coach-quarterback union.
"At the stage he is in his career, it's a question that gets asked a lot," Payton said on NFL Network's Total Access. "I have not seen — there's not a rep, a play where I've noticed something different.
"I think it's a credit to, look, we know how he trains, his diet, everything in his day to prepare to play well at that position. I think it's really changed, we've seen a change and we're talking about a Manning or a Brady, a number of these guys at that position can play longer. I don't want to put a number on it because I have not seen the beginning or a tick down at all."
Payton and Brees have been together in New Orleans since the 2006 season that helped uplift the city in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. Their pairing peaked in 2010 with a victory over the favored Indianapolis Colts in Super Bowl XLIV, and has produced explosive offense good enough to land Brees among the 10 highest single-season passing yards marks in multiple years.
Brees and the Saints are coming off a 7-9 season that included five losses by eight points or less, so an uptick in wins is within reason. The quarterback was largely true to form at least statistically, finishing with 4,870 yards passing (68.3 completion percentage) and a 32-11 touchdown-to-interception ratio.
But at age 37, Brees is also battling Father Time, even if the statistics and his head coach won't admit it.
More from Payton on Total Access:
» On Brees' (and Payton's) longevity in New Orleans: "Drew was someone that had a significant injury, kind of an unprecedented injury for quarterbacks, so there was some uncertainty in regards to the recovery and we had to take some risks. I think that visit we had with him — we had already signed Scott Fujita — proved to be, it obviously was huge. To play 10 years, or for Drew now going on Year 11, this is my 10th year, to have consistency from ownership to GM to head coach to quarterback, it's not real common."
» On how the Saints should honor the late Will Smith: "I don't know that there's a way that we can honor him aside from honoring his memory and seeing his family still and seeing his children. That's the most important thing. When you have something tragic like that happen, I think it's always best to look at it as 'what would he want?' He would want us to keep his family involved in the Saints, he would want us to have that mentality. He was such a no-nonsense type of player. He was a born leader on the defensive line. You didn't want to mess with him. So whether it's a patch or a sticker or any of those things, I think it's more for a guy like Will, remembering what he stood for. Here's a guy who just finished getting his masters at Miami, just finished getting his MBA. I know (Smith's wife) Racquel had just gotten the graduation certificate. It's tragic."

This article extends my previous article Creating OSGI bundles and services from the ground up using Apache Karaf, and explains how dynamic configuration is supposed to work in the OSGi world. By 'dynamic' I mean that configuration information is passed to the application (the OSGi bundles provided by the developer) by the OSGi container, not only when the bundles are started, but whenever an administrator changes a configuration setting. Since OSGi bundles frequently provide long-lived, server functionality, some way of changing configuration without restarting the entire application is often essential.
In the previous example, two OSGi bundles, Tick and Tock, interacted in a service producer/consumer relationship. Everytime Tick ticked, tock received an notification. Tick was hard-coded to wake up every five seconds. In this example, the tick interval will be controlled by a configuration paramter that can be adjusted by the administrator whilst the bundles are running.
This article will make absolutely no sense unless you have followed the previous one, or you already know in outline how OSGi works. Even in the latter case, I would advise reading the previous article, as this one uses essentially the same code, structured into the same directories, and built using largely the same commands.
The other significant difference between this article and the previous one is that in this case we'll be using the log4j logging API to write diagnostic messages, rather than just dumping them to the Karaf console. There are two reasons for this. First, in order to demonstrate that configuration can be changed at runtime, we'll need to execute console commands whilst the bundle is running, and that is rather difficult when there is a constant stream of messages on the console. Log messages written using log4j go, by default, to the Karaf log file (data/log/karaf.log). It will be necessary to make a small modification to the bundle's manifest file to enable the use of log4j at runtime (more on this point later.) Second, I want to use the same bundles in a later article to demonstrate how to deploy an application as a profile in a distributed environment using Apache Fabric8. In this case, the JVM hosting the application will not be the same as the one hosting the console, so we need to do something more sophisticated with logging.
As always, this example uses only a text editor and command-line build tools, in addition to Apache Karaf. I assume that Karaf is installed and running, as described in the previous article. Source code for this article is available from the Download section at the end of the article. I have tested the code and instructions using Karaf 2.3.3 on Fedora Linux.
Like just about everything else in the OSGi world, dynamic configuration is effected by bundles interacting via services. In this case, our bundle registers itself with the management service, which is implemented in another bundle. Our bundle passes a reference to itself to the management service, and this service calls the bundle whenever the administrator makes changes to the bundle's configuration.
It is important to understand that all the OSGi container provides is a method for passing the configuration data at runtime: it does not assist the bundle in processing it. If the changes require, for example, a running thread to be destroyed and a new one created with different settings, then the bundle must take care of that. Changing the configuration won't restart the bundle or reload any dependent classes. In addition, the bundle must be prepared to work without being configured; that is, it must provide its own useable defaults. Some OSGi containers will start a bundle before it is configured, so the bundle must handle that situation gracefully.
Configuration settings are provided in the form of simple name-value pairs. The container groups these under a "Persistent ID" (or PID, which rather unhelpfully is more commonly used to abbreviate Process ID). The PID identifies a group of configuration settings — in principle a bundle can register for more than one PID. This value of a PID is arbitrary, but clearly each PID must to be unique in the container, so some sort of naming control is required. In a simple case, the PID can be the same as the name of the service, or one of its classes.
To recap, the example consists of two OSGi bundles called Tick and Tock. The Tick bundle runs as a service, and notifies any other bundle that has expressed an interest at fixed time intervals. The Tock bundle registers and interest in the Tick service, and gets notified on each tick. Both bundles write their progress to the log using log4j API calls.
SInce the code changes are relatively minor, I'll only describe what's different about the new version. Note that the complete source code for this example, structured so as to make the commands in the article work, is available from the Download section at the end of the article.
The activator class for the Tick service now implements the update() method from the ManagedService API. It also imports the log4j APIs which will be needed for logging, and instantiates a static Logger class, as is usual with log4j.
The log() method simply calls logger.info(). All calls to System.out.prinln in the previous article have been changed to calls to log().
We also need an OSGi "Persistent ID" to identify this bundle to the framework for configuration purposes.
All the substantial work takes place in the updated() method. This is passed a Dictionary object containing the name-value pairs of the configuration. Note that if no configuration has (yet) been defined by the administrator, then a null dictionary object is passed to the method; this is our signal to install the default configuration. If the administrator has defined some configuration for this bundle, but not the value of the attribute we need, the dictionary object will be non-null, but the value of the configuration entry we need will be null. This also is a situation that the method needs to deal with.
In the bundle manifest file MANIFEST.MF, we must declare that we import log4j, and also the bundle that provides the ManagerService APIs. As a reminder, omitting these settings will not prevent the bundle from building, but it won't start, because the container will only make available classes that the bundle explicitly declares that it needs.
Building the bundles is the same as in the previous article, except that we need to add two things to the class search path: the Apache log4j API JAR, and the JAR containing the implementation of the ManagedService classes. This latter might be a bit awkward to find; the JAR is called org.apache.felix.configadmin-X.X.X.jar, and you might have to hunt in the Karaf installation to find it. In version 2.3.3 of Karaf, the location is system/org/apache/felix/org.apache.felix.configadmin/1.6.0, and the filename org.apache.felix.configadmin-1.6.0.jar.
As always, these commands need to be entered as one line and, of course, you'll need to change the paths so that they are appropriate for your installation.
$ jar cfm osgitest_tick2.jar etc/MANIFEST_tick.MF  -C target/tick/classes .
$ jar cfm osgitest_tock2.jar etc/MANIFEST_tock.MF  -C target/tick/classes .
Note that I've changed the names of the JARs from the previous example, just adding a '2' on the end of the name; there is no functional reason for that, it just stops me getting the examples mixed up.
I'll only describe the installation of the Tick bundle, because that is all that is necessary to describe the dynamic configuration features. The Tock bundle is installed in exactly the same way if necessary, but it has no configuration, dynamic or otherwise.
Note that the bundle number will almost certainly not be 267, as in this example, as these numbers are allocated by the container.
Since no configuration has been defined, the updated() method is called with a null configuration, so the bundle must install its default delay — 5000 msec in this case. So we should see the Tick! message in the log every five seconds.
Now the bundle is running, we can change the configuration, and (hopefully) see the changes take effect immediately. The following Karaf console commands will change the value of the delay property. Note that the bundle is not notified until config:update is called; this allows multiple changes to be applied in a single call to the bundle's update() method.
The rate of ticks should slow immediately to one every ten seconds. It should not be necessary to restart the bundle or the container.
This article has explained how to implement dynamic configuration in an OSGi bundle, and how to set that configuration using Karaf console commands. Some OSGi containers provide nice graphical or web-based consoles for configuration, but the implementation of the bundle should be broadly the same.
In a later article, I'll describe how the Tick/Tock bundles can be grouped as a 'feature' in Apache Fabric8 (or JBoss Fuse), and assigned to multiple containers that are managed at runtime.

Mercedes-Benz to Unveil Made-in-India GLC SUV on September 29
Posted by: Team | NewsPatrolling September 28, 2016	in Automobile
German car manufacturer Mercedes-Benz is all set to unveil the made-in-India GLC SUV on September 29, 2016. The localized version of Mercedes-Benz GLC SUV aims at catering to the escalating demand for luxury SUVs in India.
The Completely Built Up (CBU) version of GLC SUV was launched by Mercedes-Benz in the month of June this year. On witnessing the phenomenal success of the vehicle in India, the luxury auto manufacturer decided to localize its manufacturing in the country.
This good news will certainly excite car enthusiasts as GLC manufactured in India will be available at a cheaper price compared to the imported version of the vehicle. as per the newspaper reports, the Indian version of GLC SUV will be Rs 1.5 to 2 lakhs cheaper compared to the CBU version which costs between 50.70 to 50.90 lakhs. This significant drop in prices will also help GLC SUV to gain a competitive advantage over its competitors in India, especially—BMW X3 and Audi5.
Both petrol and diesel version of GLC SUV are being manufactured in India at the production plant of Mercedes-Benz located in Chakan, Pune. Currently, eight Mercedes-Benz models are assembled at the plant—the C-class, E-class, S-class, the GLE, the GLS, the GLA and Mercedes-Maybach S500. GLC SUV will be the ninth model in the portfolio of Mercedes-Benz to be locally assembled.
Here are the Specifications of Made-in-India GLC SUV
Dimensions—4,656 mm in length, 1,644 mm in height, and 2,096 in width.
Has a wheelbase of 2,874 mm.
Has a boot space capacity of 550 litres.
Has a set of 2-litre petrol and diesel engine. The petrol engine is capable of generating 245 bhp and 370 Nm of peak torque, and the diesel engine generates 170 bhp and 400 Nm of peak torque.
Further details about the interesting features of GLC SUV will be known once the luxury car gets unveiled tomorrow.
However, as observed in other locally-assembled auto models of Mercedes-Benz, the GLC SUV may be launched without certain equipment and features that are offered in the Completely Built Up version; such as— 3-zone air-conditioner, automatic tailgate opening mechanism, memory seats, and standard navigation system.
The imported version of GLC SUV has been awarded a 5-star safety rating by The European New Car Assessment Program. We hope that the locally assembled version of the vehicle will also feature similar safety characteristics.

Toronto: Spring 2017
on February 12, 2017 in Reports
by Michael Crabb
After the long summer drought, the wave of often overlapping performances that engulf the Toronto dance scene each fall can be overwhelming. However, as the wave recedes, certain images and impressions remain memorably fixed. Some are very specific, others more the result of cumulative impact.
Into the former category falls Bill Coleman's extraordinary presence in Dollhouse, a collaboration with avant-garde composer and sound artist Gordon Monahan. Dollhouse utterly defies adequate description and exists outside any widely acknowledged category. It harks back to the glory days of performance art, but without the self-conscious transgressive nature. There are comic moments that verge on slapstick, yet Dollhouse's general atmosphere is absurdist. There's a dark vein that summons thoughts of Beckett, Brecht and Kafka.
The middle-aged Coleman first made his mark years ago as an accomplished dancer of admirable technical facility. In Dollhouse, his movements are mostly spare and minimal, yet devastating in their impact. He is an Everyman, a Chaplinesque figure pitched into a surreal environment contrived to hobble him at every turn.
The opening scene offers a taste of what unfolds. A dark-suited Coleman stands motionless for an uncomfortably long time in the still fully lit theatre, which is the home of presenting company Canadian Stage. You can tell his every sense is hyper-alert. Then Coleman begins to move, tentatively and awkwardly, as if sensitive to some lurking danger.
Soon we hear odd cracking sounds. They come from within Coleman's suit. As his body crumples, rather like the Scarecrow in The Wizard of Oz, shards of shattered plastic glasses begin to spill forth. It's at once funny and horrifying. As Coleman's assorted misadventures continue, we quickly see him not as a performer, but as a very real and disquieting proxy for any number of universally recognizable and existential anxieties.
Claudia Moore's MOonhORsE Dance Theatre marked its 20th anniversary in November with the 39th edition of its popular series Older & Reckless. It was a rich program, including solo appearances by Margie Gillis, Robert Desrosiers and Moore herself. The image that haunts was collectively generated — a community project comprising 29 performers, some local dance-scene veterans, others amateurs, who covered a range of ages and body types. The work, Danser Joe, is a compact version of Jean-Pierre Perreault's 1983 JOE, the late choreographer's defiantly stomping and seminal tribute to the plight of the downtrodden masses. As the cast in their long raincoats, fedoras and boots executed Perreault's increasingly complex tattoo, the essence of the choreographer's purpose communicated with a freshly raw, authentic power.
Fearful Symmetries, described by its composer John Adams as "a seriously aerobic work, a Pantagruel boogie with a thrusting, grinding beat," has understandably attracted many choreographers, including Roberto Campanella, co-founder/artistic director of Toronto's ProArteDanza. His version, titled after the score, is Campanella's best work in years. Adams' music compels movement, but its structural symmetry can be misconstrued as an invitation to choreographic platitudes. Campanella avoids these. His response to the score has human urgency. It's essentially abstract, but emotionally resonant. He's come up with a movement motif of running that is both kinetically thrilling and psychologically ambivalent. Is this ensemble actually getting anywhere or merely struggling to keep up with an ever-changing world?
Among visiting troupes, Nederlands Dans Theater continues as a reminder of what can be accomplished by the human body in motion. These are dazzlingly exciting dancers, apparently capable of executing whatever a choreographer orders. But there are limits to the abilities of even the finest dancers — however gorgeous they may look — to bring substance to the inherently insubstantial.
In a triple bill featuring two works by NDT artistic director Paul Lightfoot and his longtime choreographic partner Sol León, it was only the opener by Crystal Pite, a Canadian, of course, who rose above the affected portentousness of so much contemporary European dance.
Of the León/Lightfoot offerings, Safe as Houses from 2001, with its symbolic rotating wall, was the stronger. The sense of elusive reality and unpredictable change made the work more than a display of technically breathtaking dance. Oddly, the other work, Stop-Motion, made in 2014, seems rooted in a similar, now rather dated aesthetic, even if the mood is more overtly emotional and personal.
Pite's In the Event from 2015 has clear links physically and thematically to much of her earlier work, but its sheer inventiveness and ability to evoke complex emotional responses through what are often taut physical means is what leaves you gasping in wonder. It impresses by not striving to impress.
As for the National Ballet of Canada, it launched its 2016-2017 home season unadventurously with a couple of familiar and dependable full-length story ballets, James Kudelka's 2004 version of the Prokofiev-scored Cinderella and John Cranko's Onegin, made originally for Stuttgart Ballet in 1965 and a more-or-less staple of the Toronto company's repertoire since its Canadian premiere in 1984.
"Dependable" is not quite the same as "best-selling." Cinderella is a well-known story with an easily pronounced title. Onegin is neither, despite its passel of avid devotees. Thus, the former got 10 performances and the latter six. This is unfortunate because Onegin is a strongly character-based ballet and its meaty leading roles are justly coveted by those who aspire to be recognized as accomplished dance-actors. Yet, with relatively few performances, the opportunities are limited.
The run of Cinderella featured several debuts — most notably that of second soloist Emma Hawes in the title role. Hawes is already very much on National Ballet fans' radars, and she did not disappoint. Following Kudelka's intentions, she offered a feisty if put-upon young woman in Act I before transforming into a ravishingly poised and elegant mystery guest at the prince's ball. With McGee Maddox as her strong and seasoned partner, Hawes negotiated Kudelka's almost wilfully perilous choreography with suitably romantic abandon.
On the Onegin front, there was only one title-lead debut, that of Piotr Stanczyk. He was awarded a single show and seemed determined to make the most of it. It was also apparent that Stanczyk had given the role a great deal of forethought; it was not that his portrayal looked in any way calculated, but rather that it was intelligently considered. His Tatiana, the woman Eugene Onegin initially spurns, was veteran ballerina Sonia Rodriguez. There is a palpable chemistry between these two fine dancers and it injected real fire into their climactic Act III pas de deux when it is Tatiana's turn to reject Onegin.
In the case of works such as Onegin featuring over-the-top romance and heartbreak, ballet fans tend to develop very particular allegiances. They will propound, often with alarming vehemence, what they regard as the superior merits of their idols. In truth, however, it often comes down to questions of taste. That said, it would have been hard not to be deeply affected by the sheer dramatic intensity of Svetlana Lunkina's debut as Tatiana, partnered by former Stuttgart Ballet dancer Evan McKie in his National Ballet debut as Onegin. Their single performance was the last of the run and, for fans, the most keenly awaited. To say it was electric rather understates the case.
