text:
(To explain things first, the true-scale Marines this character is drawn from would be represented by Grey Knight Terminators in a Daemonhunters army and he as a Brother-Captain, but I doubt Terminator-level armament is appropriate for someone who isn't the Captain of the squad after all, so he's taking a bit of a downgrade )
Name - Martell Alexandros
Chapter - Paladins Benevolent
Chapter Colours and Livery - White with gold trim and red weapons casings. Symbol is a black shield bearing a red Maltese cross
Rank in Chapter - Tactical Sergeant, Second Company
Personal Quirks - Martell took to authority naturally, so returning to being under command has been a test of his humility. So far he has borne the change with good grace, though he has a habit of offering his own tactical suggestions that some Deathwatch Captains have found grating, and as a result has been transferred between kill-teams twice in the short time he has been away from the Paladins. Due to his Chapter's doctrine, he is a veritable demon at close quarters fighting in small squads, and naturally keeps a watch on what his allies are doing to ensure combined forces are all working to their strengths. Within the Chapter he is felt to enjoy the challenge of war slightly more than the Paladins generally approve of, though this has undeniably made him a more competent leader.
Armament - Like most in his chapter, Martell fights with a boltgun and close combat weapon. His position as a sergeant allows him access to the Chapter's more powerful weaponry and, as such, his preference is for a Thunder Hammer. However, the Paladins were reluctant to allow such a relic to leave the Chapter even on a temporary basis, so for his tour in the Deathwatch he has been issued a chain axe to fit his favoured weapon as closely as possible. The standard bolt pistol sidearm has been replaced by a plasma pistol as is usual for Sergeants. Having lost his right eye to an Iron Warrior's combat blade in his last operation with the Paladins, he now has a bionic eye incorporating a number of aids. This still causes him considerable pain from time to time, and he is still not perfectly at ease with the new eye's abilities, on rare occasions switching between them by mistake.
Any Deeds of Note - Sgt Martell has been noted to work alongside lesser forces particularly well, seeming to have an instinctive understanding of where and when a small force of Space Marines can best be used. There are rumours that it cannot be too long until he receives promotion to Captain, and that his stint in the Deathwatch is intended as an assessment of his ability. Of particular note was his recent cleansing of one of Algar VI's northern hives from the detachment of Iron Warriors who had begun to take hold of the planet. Under the coordination of Captain Varangius, the Chapter's Second Company led the 94th Constantine regiment to take back ten hives, in which Martell's 15 men and associated Guardsmen forces accounted for nearly 80 Traitor Marines and well over 1000 cultists.
The Paladins Benevolent
Combat Doctrine - Experts in repelling invasions and taking back Imperial worlds on the brink of loss, the Paladins Benevolent pursue a doctrine of spreading their forces - that is, rather than committing a whole company in a hammer blow to a single area while the Imperial Guard battle alone elsewhere, they send smaller numbers of Marines to many areas across the planet to act as close ranged shock troops, bursting through enemy positions rapidly while their mere human counterparts follow close alongside them, providing supporting fire to the Marines' rapid advance. To maximise the effectiveness of these tactics, they actively pursue a programme of combat exercises between their Space Marines and the Guard regiments drawn from the Chapter's recruiting worlds, leading to soldiers equivalent in training to the Storm Troopers of many other regiments.
Organisation - The Paladins Benevolent take their founding from the Black Templars, so in some respects follow their organisation. Rather than the Codex ten companies of 100 Marines each, companies are spread across a number of theatres of war where the Imperium has come under attack by alien or heretical forces and from there split further into smaller groupings of squads and half-squads. The Inquisition view them with mixed reactions. They are less than happy about the larger number of Paladins, they are somewhat mollified by the Chapter's strong ethos of service to the common man. This is one Chapter at least that is in no danger of being swayed away from the Imperium. They are more greatly concerned about the Chapter's abberrant views on the enemies of the Imperium, especially Renegade Marines who they view as misguided and capable of redemption.
Beliefs and Practices - The Paladins Benevolent were originally drawn from those Black Templars who espoused the importance of knightly virtue and tempered their zeal to conquer worlds for the Imperium with the recognition that many Imperial worlds were yet under attack. Over time, this has become magnified into a belief almost completely opposed by the Black Templars - that war is an undesirable state which is nonetheless necessary where Imperial citizens are threatened by invasion. Professing the belief that Space Marines lose their humanity to protect the lives of others, their philosophy can be summed up by a quote from an early Grand Master - "The true Paladin fights not with hate in his heart for what lies in front of him, but with compassion for those who lie behind him." While they fight as skillfully as any other chapter, they do so with a calm resignation rather than the fury of other Chapters.
Notable Traits - The Paladins Benevolent have no particular physical abnormalities, but their hypno-indoctrination is such that their lack of hatred for the Imperium's foes is liable to cause concern to other Space Marines, especially Chaplains and those of the more bloodthirsty Chapters. They also tend to work more closely with Imperial forces than usual, which can confuse other Marines and be rather intimidating for the Guardsmen when the Emperor's legendary Angels of Death wander into their camp and ask them their thoughts on the campaign.
Relations with other Chapters - The Black Templars view the Paladins Benevolent with a strange mixture of respect and disgust, not understanding how a Chapter of their own geneseed which champions the virtues of a knight so highly can have such a low opinion of crusade. Generally the two tend to stick to their individual areas of expertise though, and on the occasions they have been forced to work together, the Paladin's doctrine of fighting alongside the Guardsmen has kept sufficient distance between them to prevent tensions becoming overstretched.
Name: Artos Corglich
Chapter: Destroyers
Chapter Colours and Livery: Brown with light blue shoulder pauldrons and black weapon casings. Symbol is a blood drop with black wings.
Rank: Battle Brother, Third Company
Personal Quirks: Although all marines of his chapter excel at stealth-based missions, Artos has begun to show a strange aptitude for this particular strategy. He has an instinctive knowledge of the movement of light and shadow across many different types of terrain, and can adjust his camouflage or movement accordingly. He also seems to be more bloodthirsty than his brothers within the chapter, taking a grisly delight in offering the hearts of his fallen enemies to the God-Emperor.
Armament: Artos is armed with a standard Mk Vb Godwyn pattern bolter, a bolt pistol, and a combat blade.
Deeds of note: Saved his captain from a Khornate death-cult's assassins. The assassins caused severe injury to his right leg and arm, both of which are now partially augmented.
Combat Doctrine: Experts in stealth, guerilla warfare and assassination, the Destroyers are surpassed in these areas only by the Raven Guard chapter, who they look to as true heroes. They will often deploy a large number of Scouts, supported by up to 1 full company of marines. They often aim to destroy the enemy's leaders. Having done this, the confusion among enemy troops leaves them vulnerable to a swift surgical strike. However, they will abandon these tactics in favour of those shown in the Codex Astartes if guerilla warfare or an assassination will not fulfill their task.
Organisation: The Destroyers are a relatively new chapter, created in the year 652 M.41. The majority of their gene-seed comes from tithes of the Blood Angels chapter, however, to ensure they had a fully functioning set of organs, the High-Lords of Terra sanctioned that gene-seed from other Chapter's tithes could be used.
As they are relatively new, the Chapter contains 5 companies of scouts. It has one Assault marine company (5th), one Devastator company (4th), two regular battle companies (2nd and 3rd), and one veteran company (1st).
Beliefs and Practices: The Chapter gets all its new recruits from planets in the Schindelgheist star system, in particular Schindelgheist Major and Mosk II. The planets in the Schindelgheist system show their praise for and belief in the Emperor in the manner of a system-wide death cult. From a young age all children are taught to fight to the end in the God-Emperor's name, and that the only offering worthy of him is the flesh of a fallen foe. This makes the system ideal for recruiting warriors, be they Space Marines or Imperial Guard.
The Destroyers are a bloodthirsty chapter, their death-cult like religion mingling with the gene-seed of Sanguinius and his Blood Angels. Chaplains will sanctify each brother before a battle, cleansing his mind and focusing his blood-lust so that he does not turn on his own brothers when the fight is done. After a battle, the Destroyers will gather the hearts of their enemies and burn them in an offering to the God-Emperor. They will also consume the blood of the enemy leader, providing that it is not corrupted or, in the case of some Tyranids, particularly poisonous or acidic.
Notable traits: Although they share the gene-seed of the vampiric Blood-Angels, only the oldest and most experienced marines will begin to grow fangs. However, their eye structure is distinctly different to that of marines from other Chapters. The iris turns red and the pigment spreads throughout the eyeball. The pupil becomes slit-like and can dilate far further than normal, giving them exceptional night vision, even for Marines. The concentration of rod and cone shaped cells in their retina increases greatly too, enhancing the details they can see at distance and allowing them to see perfectly clearly in almost zero-light levels. In effect, they have the eye structure of a predator.
Relationships with other Chapters: Marines from the Destroyers get along well with Marines from most other Chapters, who heartily approve of their hatred for the enemy and the offerings they make to the God-Emperor. However, on the rare occasions that the Destroyers have fought alongside members of the Paladins Benevolent ( ), the Paladins have considered them as savage, merciless brutes.
Ahem ahem. Captain Corvin, Hero of the Ultramarines reporting.
I loved the Deathwatch threads, and although I made this new forum account, haven't seen anything peaks my interest yet, until this! Great to have this back again, always had tons of fun with it.
Many of you probably know a bit about Corvin, but I'll post more later if neccessary.
Pretty much he's an Ultramarine Captain that is an incredible swordsman. Wields dual swords, Retribution and Vengeance, right and left hands, respectively. For all intents and purposes, they are master-crafted power swords. He has used a shoulder mounted psycannon on occasions, but that is of course mission fitting. Other than that, usually just a bolter, or sometimes a pair of them. He is very unconventional, and not much of the standard and rigid Ultramarine. He is usually pretty calm, but has inner fury, that when let loose, turns him into a killing machine that feels neither pain nor remorse. Thats all really.
He has served extensively with the Death Watch, usually leading a kill team. If someone else is the kill team leader, in this case perhaps he was brought on for particular expertise? Or as an advisor.
Psyched about this!
Quote from: Corvin on October 01, 2009, 02:08:22 AM
I loved the Deathwatch threads...
Hey Kess, I don't suppose you have copies of those old threads? I'm not sure if we did one together but I used my Mentor in two but I can't remember his name.
Anyway, assuming you don't I'm going to put together some details for a Prophet of Hatred anyway although I might have to do a new Mentor character too (well, same character but a new name) he was always fun to write for and since I'm torn as to which one to use I'll get some info for both and just see which one appeals more.
Discy
Interrogator
Ooo, shiny!
Brother-Sergeant Simion reporting for duty!
Name: Simion
Chapter: Sons of Oblivion
Rank in Chapter: Sergeant
Personal Quirks: Simion has an extremely obsessive-compulsive personality, and will often spend hours checking and re-checking his equipment, paranoid that something may have gone missing. He also keeps a small momentem of important fallen enemies, usually a claw or tooth, in a pouch.
Armament: Fury of Mars, Godwyn-pattern bolter with enhanced targeter, the Dragons Bite(a chainsword with enhanced motor), Mk VI powered armour, with decorated left shoulder pad, and a brace of meltabombs in a pouch. Also has a bionic eye implanted in his left eye-socket.
Any Deeds of Note: Rose to the rank of Sergeant after he singled-handly defended a shrine and the rest of his injured squad from a warband of marauding Orks. He also recovered an ancient shoulder-paudron from the Warboss, which was cleansed by his Chapter Artificers, and presented to him as a reward.
The Sons of Oblivion: A Successer Chapter from the Imperial Fists, this Chapter is renowned for its hard-headedness, and also its ties to the Adeptus Mechanicus.
Beep if you love muties!
He has used a shoulder mounted psycannon on occasions, but that is of course mission fitting.
How did he get that?
I do like the idea of a dual-wielding Ultramarine though, and I'm looking forward to interacting with Artos!
I can just imagine Martell.
"Hey, Artos, stop eating that Ork's heart!!! It's totally uncivilised!!!!And to be honest, makes me feel queasy..."
Quote from: Simeon Blackstar on October 01, 2009, 09:16:21 AM
He met Pennatus, the less said the better.
Quote from: Koval on October 01, 2009, 04:19:15 PM
Haha. I don't remember 100%, and I don't have old files on this computer (have them on the desktop at home), but I don't think I ever specified where he got the psycannon. But yeah, it did come in handy quite a bit during the Silver Heresy. Did Pennatus and Corvin ever fight? I don't remember.
So yeah next time I'm home from college I do have the Winter Death, and maybe the other Death Watch thread on other computer. I will definitely check.
Kallidor- I think you used a Prophet of Hatred? If my memory serves me correctly. I don't remember any Mentors, could be wrong though. Is there any files left of the old Conclave, or is it completely kapuff?
Quote from: Corvin on October 01, 2009, 05:41:27 PM
But yeah, it did come in handy quite a bit during the Silver Heresy. Did Pennatus and Corvin ever fight? I don't remember.
No, although there was one extreme near-miss at the end, and to be fair there were fights with Kethín and Sejanus, against whom the gun probably saw the most use.
Inquisitor Ranovack
Name: Peleus
Chapter: Persian Lions
Rank in chapter: Pride Leader (CSM)
Personal quircks: hatred of Tau, partiality to Aechean wine
Armaments: Godwyn pattern bolter, lightning claw (or chain sword if you think a lightning claw is overpowered)
jump pack 3 frag grenades 2 smoke 1 krak
Deeds of note: He led a raid to destroy an enemy MSR when his CO's thunderhawk was hit. He managed to kill 100 xenos scum durig the raid whilst he sustained greivious wounds which led to him recieving a bionic eye and nose. 4 years later his Pride boarded a hulk with a deathwatch kill team to clense or destroy it. after they found not only genestealers but also larger warrior forms the decistion was made to blow the hulk. After the charges were planted Peleus' squad was charged with the reargaurd action with the deathwatch libraian who thourght he could sence a pyker near by. As they retired to the thunderhawks his squad was cut off by a carnifax and a group of genestealers. During the furious fighting to get clear the librarian was knocke down and stunned. Peleus carved his way to the fallen librarian and defended him from the carnifax with liberally applied bolt rounds to the face. Whilst he was doing this the librarian cought his wits and destroyed the carnifax's mind. The first thing he say after recovering was Peleus dripping in gore, smilling and asking if he wanted a hand to the ship.
Persian Lions:
A chapter derived from the Raven Guard they specialise in surgical strikes from the air and pride themselves in being able to arrive do the emporers work thenleave before the foe and often the freind knows they are there.
They have no homeworld and their fortress monastry is a space station like the imperial fists phalanx but smaller.
All marine can use jump packs or fly a thunder hawk and some can use both.
livery: Mostly white but with golden brown trims their sigil is a winged lion holding a scroll saying Smite for the Emporer in high imperial.
relationship with other chapters:
the lions work well with most chapters but better with the chapters favouring speed and close combat such as the White scars. Natrually they get on best with the Raven gaurd
they hate all traitors but have a special hatred of the Night Lords, the Iron Warriors, the Alpha Legion and the Word Bearers for their involvment in the Drop-site masacre of Isstvan V where the Raven Gaurd was almost destroyed.

though i fly through the valley of death i shall fear no evil for i am at 50,000 feet and climing
Quote from: Kallidor on October 01, 2009, 04:13:40 AM
Well I certainly do, what was your old forum name again?
Yeah, him and Sejanus did have some pretty epic fights. Good times, good times.
« Last Edit: October 02, 2009, 12:38:55 AM by Corvin »
Is there any files left of the old Conclave, or is it completely kapuff?
Pretty much as far as my skill with finding things goes. I've got a fair bit saved though.
Quote from: Heroka Vendile on October 01, 2009, 09:40:11 PM
Caralinus.
It'd be great to know what his name was (I don't suppose it matters that much) his signature weapon was an assault cannon if that helps the search. Cheers for that
Inquisitor Ranovack can you edit your post into the format I posted above so I can read your potential character more easily I got bogged down while reading it
Everyone else is looking good so far I've got a team consisting of
To answer some questions
Macabre - the posting for this will depend on the mission I'm not planning on having this as a one mission RP but more a record of a task forces tour of service so there will be several missions (One of which I plan on being very fast paced and another which is not so fast paced) In truth I'd be looking for a commitment of one or two posts a week and more for the faster paced ones, this is to cater for my current lack of a stable internet connection so I'll more than like be doing something on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays.
Again as mentioned the post by post will depend on the mission for the fast paced one I fully intend to have a clock stating the time at the start of each of my posts.
Oh Yeah and my opening post has gone up, a chance to introduce your characters and play around with pre battle rituals, thoughts of command etc, my next post will have the Thunderhawks landing and from there we can meet and greet.
Captain Demos
Just a heads up his powerfist is on the left hand not the right

Published by Tor Books on November 1st 2016
In Cathy Clamp's Illicit, when a border dispute between two bear clans destabilizes shapeshifter relations throughout Europe and threatens to reveal their existence to humans, the Sazi High Council orders both sides to the negotiation table. The peace talks take place in Luna Lake, the American community where all shifter species--wolf, cat, bird, bear, and more--live in harmony.
Diplomats, their families, and security personnel stream into town, among them Dalvin Adway, a Wolven agent. Dalvin is startled to find Rachel Washington in Luna Lake. The last time he saw her, they were children in Detroit. Then she was kidnapped and, he thought, murdered. But Rachel became an owl-shifter as a result of the attack and has avoided family and old friends ever since, knowing they would not understand her . She's stunned to see Dalvin and learn that he, too, is an owl-shifter.
Their wary friendship is on the brink of becoming something more when conspiracy and betrayal cause the peace talks to break down. The fight between the bear clans will be settled through a form of traditional challenge--a risky tactic that might lead to full-blown war. Rachel is determined to prevent that, even if it means taking up the challenge herself!

Binary Storm by Christopher Hinz
Near the end of the 21st century, Earth is in chaos from environmental devastation and a vicious undeclared war against binaries, genetically engineered assassins. Composed of a single consciousness inhabiting two human bodies (tways), binaries are ruled by an alpha breed, the Royal Caste.

Invisible Planets: An Anthology of Contemporary Chinese SF in Translation by Ken Liu
Also by this author: The Grace of Kings
Award-winning translator and author Ken Liu presents a collection of short speculative fiction from China. Some stories have won awards; some have been included in various 'Year's Best' anthologies; some have been well reviewed by critics and readers; and some are simply Ken's personal favorites. Many of the authors collected here (with the obvious exception of Liu Cixin) belong to the younger generation of 'rising stars'.
In addition, three essays at the end of the book explore Chinese science fiction. Liu Cixin's essay, The Worst of All Possible Universes and The Best of All Possible Earths, gives a historical overview of SF in China and situates his own rise to prominence as the premier Chinese author within that context. Chen Qiufan's The Torn Generation gives the view of a younger generation of authors trying to come to terms with the tumultuous transformations around them. Finally, Xia Jia, who holds the first Ph.D. issued for the study of Chinese SF, asks What Makes Chinese Science Fiction Chinese?.
The Burning Light by Bradley P. Beaulieu, Rob Ziegler
Also by this author: Twelve Kings in Sharakhai
Disgraced government operative Colonel Chu is exiled to the flooded relic of New York City. Something called the Light has hit the streets like an epidemic, leavings its users strung out and disconnected from the mind-network humanity relies on. Chu has lost everything she cares about to the Light. She'll end the threat or die trying.
A former corporate pilot who controlled a thousand ships with her mind, Zola looks like just another Light-junkie living hand to mouth on the edge of society. She's special though. As much as she needs the Light, the Light needs her too. But, Chu is getting close and Zola can't hide forever.
A thrilling and all-too believable science fiction novella from the authors of Twelve Kings in Sharakhai and Seed.
The Operative (San Angeles, #2) by Gerald Brandt
Published by DAW on November 1st 2016
Second in a trilogy, this far-future science fiction is set in Los Angeles—action adventure with a cyberpunk tone.
Kris Ballard's life changed irrevocably when, a year ago, she was targeted for termination by the Meridian corporation, one of the mega-conglomerates that controls the government in this dystopian future. She hid amongst the underground resistance—but now, right as her training with the anti-corporate movement is nearing its end, their compound is destroyed. Ready or not, Kris and the other trainees are recalled to the dangerous metropolis of San Angeles. But their transport is shot down and Ian Miller, the man she loves, is captured. Someone, it seems, is using him to get to Kris.
With the help of a retired operative with PTSD, and the mysterious man who fled the scene when Kris's parents were killed, Kris searches for any sign of Ian. As the corporations battle civil unrest—and each other—the city slowly shuts down. Kris is running out of time.

The New York Times bestselling author of the acclaimed Malazan Book of the Fallen series has taken his lifelong passion for Star Trek and transformed it into a smart, inventive, and hugely entertaining spoof on the whole mankindexploring-space-for-the-good-of-all-species-but-trashing-stuff-with-a-lot-ofhigh-tech-gadgets-along-the-way, overblown adventure. The result is an SF novel that deftly parodies the genre while also paying fond homage to it.

I plan on picking up the Christmas Magic one as I think it will be an interesting read for the holidays and plus will help introduce me to more sci-fi, which I am trying to read more of. I own the first book in the Juliet Marillier series but haven't started it yet. Thanks for sharing these new releases.

If I was better about reading short stories, I may want to pick that one up too. (sounds fun). But given my track record of buying anthologies and never reading them, decided I should pass. And the Juliet Marillier series is SO GOOD! I really look forward to reading this latest one.

A first glimpse at the world's most awaited electric car: Tesla Model 3
by Muqbil Ahmar | Jan 17, 2018 | Home, News, Solar, Sustainability, Tech | 0 comments
Trying to catch the first glimpse of the much awaited car, huge crowds gathered at Tesla's retail locations in Los Angeles as well as Palo Alto. The first official Tesla Model 3 cars for display have been installed at two of the company's retail locations. The electric vehicles are attracting huge crowds that would remind one of a new Apple product launch.
Tesla's Stanford Mall (Palo Alto) as well as its Century City Mall (Los Angeles) have now become the first of the company's two retail locations that have a Tesla Model 3 on display.
The innovative automaker plans to slowly add more Model 3 cars on display to its locations across the USA as it hikes the production of these electric cars and continues with the rollout of the latest electric vehicle. However, for now, it is these two locations only where the general public or the reservation holders can see the Tesla Model 3 for themselves and get a feel of the electric car after sitting in it.
Scores of people had reportedly been waiting for more than 2 hours even before the stores opened. By the time the stores close, the queues generally swell up to several hundreds of meters. The demand from the public to see and feel the vehicle is extremely high, so much so that Tesla has had to limit each individual no more than 2 minutes of time with the electric vehicle. Barriers have been set up to control the crowds.
At times, looking at the enthusiastic crowds, Tesla store employees have been staying back late in order to give everybody an opportunity to see the Model 3.
Tesla Model 3 is set to rule the electric car market
The Tesla Model 3 is a mid-sized electric sedan manufactured as well as sold by Tesla, Inc. According to Tesla claims, the standard Model 3 has an electric range of 220 miles (350 km). The long-range model is claimed to deliver 310 miles (500 km) per charge. The Tesla Model 3 has a minimalist dashboard, with only one center-mounted touchscreen.
After a week of unveiling Model 3, Tesla said, they took 325,000 reservations for the car. This is more than triple the number of Model S (Tesla's flagship electric car) sedans that were sold by the end of the year 2015. The reservations point to potential sales of more than US$14 billion. By August 2017, there were reported to be 455,000 reservations, with 1,800 reservations on an average added per day.
While limited production of the Tesla Model 3 started in mid 2017, the first production vehicle rolled off the assembly line on July 7, 2017. A unique feature of the Tesla Model 3 is the company's claim that it carries complete self-driving hardware, which can enabled at a future time.

Thank you all for your prayers. Below is the email update my brother composed last night after her surgery.
Thank you all for your prayers. She was transferred here to University of Miami hospital next to Jackson Memorial Hospital Thursday night. They did a scan and decided to operate as soon as they could, to remove an abscess that they saw. They operated around 11 am this morning (Friday).
Diana and I rode down in the elevator to surgery with her, and Nico was there too, so she was able to see Nico.
The surgery was to remove the abscess from her neck and put in a splint to drain; and to drain excess fluid in her chest. The surgeon said that there was a good deal of puss in the neck and they removed it all and flushed it until it was clean. They also drained a good amount of fluid from her chest. The doctor said that she was expected to get worse before she gets better, as she will be fighting off infection, recovering from surgery and then her esophagus healing. The main concern first is making sure she fights off any infection, this is a big concern. They will reassess in a week to see if her esophagus has healed itself; if not, they may go in and surgically repair it - but all intents, hopes and prayers are that it heals itself. Now that the abscess has been removed and excess fluid drained, it seems that she is in position to be able to recover and start to heal properly.
Diana and I saw her this evening, and she was in very good spirits. She even had the nurse call me and put her on the phone and she asked me to arrange for an ambulance to take her back to Vero tomorrow. If only I could... I am still nervous because in Vero Beach she also seemed better and took downward turns overnight, so we need to continue in prayer that her healing continues an upward turn.
I believe that we saw God's presence in 3 significant ways today- in ADDITION to God's healing hand on the surgeons.
First, there is a free shuttle from the hotel to the hospital. When we got in, our driver was playing Hillsong praise music. He then got in and turned it up a little, and started to sing along. Well, we received not just a little listening to praise music, but a bus of praise. He gave a mini-sermon on the way over to the hospital for those of us in the bus. He said that his son, Samuel, is 8 and at home recovering from a stroke- but that God is still in control and we need to praise and trust Him. He told us that we are not staying at a normal hotel - we are staying in God's house! I had been praying for God to make His presence known - I think that He did.
Second, my mom's nurse today was Martha. Diana and I got her a cross (she loves crosses) and brought it to her. The nurse said I see that you're a Christian - I am too. She told us that the doctors were paying extra attention to my mom and that she was going to be ok. My Mom said - I knew that God would send me a Christian.
Third, my phone has generally been working ok/ well in the hospital. When we knew the time my mom was going into the surgery, the reception just dropped- completely. I went outside, walked around - nothing. I was planning to text people to say that my mom was going into surgery and pray for her. I felt God telling me - I am here, I hear you. You don't need to "earn" my love with extra prayers - I am here. About 5-10 minutes after the surgery, my phone reception started working again.
It is tough for us- but ok. Nico her baby has been fantastic (either that or my walking and bouncing skills are off the chart). The hotel is very comfortable and has a free shuttle to the hospital. We are doing ok, considering. To me, to think that God loves us more than I love my Mom, is so amazing that it is simply overwhelming. Overwhelming. To understand God's sovereignty, God's love, and balance that with the concern of a son/ daughter, is very difficult. But, we believe and stand on His Word that He is on control.
Most importantly, prayer - the points above/ others that come to your heart.
I think it will be good to have her in good spirits. If you could email me at russellbjorkman@hotmail.com any pictures that you have with her having fun; pictures of Tucker (her cat that she probably loves more than all of us); a short letter that you want us to read to her; even post a video to youtube that we can play for her. Basically something that Diana and I can share with her.
The good news is that they think they know where the issue lies. In short her esophagus was punctured while being intubated.
The bad news is that it is very serious, infection risk is high, there is still air in tissues it shouldn't be in, blood in her lungs, she still has pain, among other things. She can't have anything orally - it is all through IV. They are transporting her to University of Miami tonight or tomorrow to see more specialists. Some sort of additional surgery will most likely happen. Stint to redirect the saliva or whatnot. Nico and I are flying down to FLL in the morning. Hopefully we can get there before surgery takes place but we don't arrive until the afternoon so I'm not sure.
Please pray for my mom obviously but also for me cause I'll be flying solo with the baby. If you're around Lawrence please come help Jason with the garage sale and/or move - Nico and I might not be coming back.
In other news, Nico got 6 vaccinations today. It's tough being 2 months old!
Please pray for my mother today. She had surgery this morning and there were some complications and she is in quite a bit of pain, especially when she breathes. They have called in some specialists to do additional scans and see where the problem lies. Thankfully my brother is in FLA with her right now and able to be there. She'll be in the ICU tonight and at the hospital for at least a few days.
Lots to celebrate all in one day!
A wonderful man, loving husband, and patient father. Plus the little girl who made him a father and has already stolen his heart. Can't believe she's two months old already.
We have signed a lease and have a place to live in Islamorada! We are very excited about getting back to FLA after being away for 8 years. It makes it even more exciting (for me, anyway) to raise Nico on/near the water. Watch out FLAKEYS, the newest beach babe will be arriving soon.
Whose naptime is this anyway?
Q: What are we going to do all day, just sit around and stare at the baby?
Looks like this will be our new home as of 11a tomorrow, set to move soon. We'll work on getting pics of the actual place.

CommentaryTHE OTHER RUSH
Slap on the wrist for Deep State criminal?
Exclusive: Erik Rush asks why Trump team isn't prosecuting more government insiders
By Erik Rush
Published January 15, 2020 at 7:14pm
This week, a former top Treasury Department official pleaded guilty in federal court on conspiracy charges for leaking confidential banking reports associated with members of the 2016 Trump campaign.
Prior to October 2018 – when she was arrested with a government-issued flash drive chock-full of sensitive documents – Natalie Edwards, 41, was a senior adviser at Treasury's Financial Crimes Enforcement Network. According to prosecutors, beginning in October 2017, Edwards sent a series of communications to a BuzzFeed News reporter containing numerous confidential reports on the financial activity of Paul Manafort and other figures in former Special Counsel Robert Mueller's investigation into alleged collusion between the Trump campaign and Russian interests.
Federal prosecutors revealed that the flash drive with which Edwards was arrested also contained "highly sensitive material relating to Russia, Iran, and the terrorist group known as the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant."
Let's put aside for a moment our knowledge of the fact that the Russia collusion investigation was a politically-driven sham and acknowledge that legitimate whistleblowers do have a duty and every right to reveal sensitive information in the cause of justice.
In 1972, Federal Bureau of Investigation Associate Director Mark Felt provided information to Washington Post reporters Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein: key details about the involvement of President Richard Nixon's cabinet in the Watergate scandal. The ensuing investigation ultimately led to Nixon's resignation, and Felt – who had been given the designation "Deep Throat" by the reporters – remained anonymous for decades afterward.
We may never know what was in Mark Felt's mind or heart when he decided to act as a confidential informant for Woodward and Bernstein rather than taking his concerns to the Justice Department or the House Judiciary Committee (which is charged with investigating presidential wrongdoing). In that climate, he may indeed have been concerned that any evidence of wrongdoing on the president's part would be quashed by those loyal to Nixon, or that making waves internally would have put his own career at risk.
In any case – even if Felt's agenda was political – it would have been evident to someone in his position that Nixon and his surrogates had most certainly engaged in activity that was of a criminal nature. Had he been asked, Felt could have easily recited the relevant legal statutes supporting his actions.
What Mark Felt did not do was to share a "data dump" with a journalist, including reams of sensitive and confidential information, much of it involving private citizens who may or may not have been involved in actions that could not definitively be construed as criminal.
I have previously shared the story of an acquaintance who was one of two prosecutors in a capital murder case in the city in which I live. These two prosecutors were absolutely certain that the 25 year-old defendant had committed the sexual mutilation and murder of a young woman, and they got their conviction in 1997.
In 2008, a judge overturned the conviction after DNA evidence pointed to another suspect. The defendant became the first person freed from prison in the state due to DNA evidence; later, he received a $4.1 million settlement from the county in a federal lawsuit.
It was also revealed that during the original trial, the prosecutors withheld exculpatory evidence – evidence which would have thrown the defendant's culpability into question.
So, what happened to the prosecutors' certainty?
While I have the utmost respect for law enforcement and our criminal justice system, the above evidences why I will never, for example, support the death penalty.
Prosecutors are human beings and, as such, are subject to making mistakes like the rest of us. Factor in the pressure to close cases, concern over their conviction rates and future career aspirations, and it is very easy for individuals in such positions to determine that the ends justify the means, especially when they are "sure" that a given defendant is guilty.
This is leaving aside the unfortunate – if small – percentage of prosecutors in America who don't care about guilt or innocence as long as they do get a conviction.
So ... was Natalie Edwards a government employee who thought she was acting as a legitimate whistleblower, but who drifted unknowingly into the realm of criminal activity in her zeal to do the right thing, or was she a Deep State operative acting in accordance with hidden directives and a twisted ideology?
Considering her position at Treasury, I'm going to vote for the latter. As a senior adviser at Treasury's Financial Crimes Enforcement Network, like Mark Felt, Ms. Edwards knew what constituted criminal activity and what did not constitute criminal activity. So, she knew exactly what she was doing. Given the political climate in Washington at present, I'd wager that Edwards was every bit as committed to the notion that Donald Trump is an incomprehensibly evil scumbag who must be removed from office as Nancy Pelosi or Adam Schiff.
What really disturbs me here is that with a conspiracy charge that carried the potential for imprisonment of up to five years, Edwards has already signed a plea deal with prosecutors that recommended a prison sentence of zero to six months.
It isn't so much that the punishment doesn't fit the crime – lives, fortunes and careers were destroyed during the course of the Russia collusion investigation – it's that a light sentence for Natalie Edwards represents a business-as-usual, zero-accountability modality in dealing with entrenched government operatives who cavalierly conduct their agenda-driven business with complete impunity, up to and including criminal conduct.
Bear in mind that the Natalie Edwardses in our federal government enjoyed carte blanche during the Obama administration (the weaponization of federal agencies and the illegal surveillance of private citizens spring to mind), and positions such as theirs proliferated dramatically within government. This means that there are still tons of them running around.
If the Trump Justice Department isn't going to prosecute those who represent the most insidious threats to our liberties, what does that say about Trump's commitment to "draining the Swamp" or dismantling the Deep State?

Forex currency trading can be shown extremely intimidating to those who are just how to get started, and newbies will sometimes make very poor selections that expense them considerable amounts of funds. Following the suggestions presented below will educate you on sustainable and successful buying and selling techniques and make certain that can be done effectively in fx trading.
Start small whenever you key in the foreign exchange market. Large balances do not necessarily provide you with huge income. It is best to produce conservative, little transactions having a modest bank account than to threat huge amounts with an costly great-money profile. Like every professional expertise, fx trading carries a clear studying process. It is advisable to get your initial experience with modest stakes than to guess major and chance large loss.
In order to be considered a effective fx trader, you need to establish a good sense of persistence. Revenue in currency trading doesn`t come from forex trading on a regular basis, it comes from generating effective transactions. The best trades aren`t readily available each and every hour as well as, daily. You might have to keep to a money for many years before it pots and pans out.
Will not forget the short-run tendencies on the market. The overpowering most of forex traders in currency trading are short-run dealers handling a number of trades within a day. The goes on this sector in the industry can have a big outcome in the marketplace. Be aware of these micro moves so that you aren`t swept up simple.
Try not to overtrade, center on your methods. Because something big pops up doesn`t indicate you should hop on it. One thing major will usually surface, if you attempt to catch them all you can expect to wind up scattering you to ultimately lean and something will gave. Give attention to your main market segments.
To achieve success in forex currency trading, you have to learn how to keep your emotions out of the procedure. Greed typically receives the greater of individuals while investing. They turn out to be enthusiastic about unrealistic returns which triggers these to get some things wrong. Always look to your source`s recommendations and encounter.
If at all possible open a free trial profile together with your Fx broker. Using a demo bank account to trade can be the best way to study from the currency exchange trading markets and exercise specialized evaluation without the need of risking any real cash. You can even use a demonstration accounts to try out new investing methods.
An incredible hint in order to avoid taking a chance on a lot of your hard earned dollars is to expand your profile by way of organic and natural results instead then consistently including deposits. It can be tempting to boost the dimensions of your profile by depositing more cash in your accounts to make deals however you are actually just increasing the chance as opposed to the income.
When beginning in forex currency trading, reduce the level of your trades per day to around 10 to 20 Pips per industry. Get efficient at generating profits little by little. Once you accomplish producing small quantities of dollars, start off improving the quantity of Pips for each buy and sell little by little to try to earn more income.
Beginner Forex traders need to try and maintain their concentrate on a single currency exchange match. You don`t desire to jump into the world recklessly so its generally a good idea to begin gradual.

Trützschler TC 19i Sustainable and Intelligent
The intelligent card technology TC 19i put forward that gives way to Trützschler as a leader corporation to sets new benchmarks in energy efficient carding.
11 November 2021 08:32 Thursday
Global energy consumption reached a record high in 2019, following a 40-year trend for rapidly increasing energy demand that was only halted by the Coronavirus pandemic. It's estimated that more than 80 % of this energy is still generated from fossil fuels that produce CO2 emissions and contribute to climate change. Renewable energy offers a solution to this problem, but saving energy whenever possible is an even more effective approach. That's why Trützschler has developed the intelligent card TC 19i, which sets a new benchmark for energy-efficient carding.
Boosts Profitability in Yarn Production
Only the intelligent Trützschler card TC 19i features the unique T-GO gap optimizer, which continuously and automatically monitors and adjusts the carding gap to an ideal position during production. By now, more than 2000 intelligent cards sold worldwide prove quality and production leaps in the double-digit percentage range daily, thereby reducing energy demand per kilogram produced. Innovative drive and air technology further reduce energy consumption of the TC 19i. In this way, the TC 19i saves energy to help protect the planet – and also boosts profitability for yarn production.
TC 19i Lower Suction Pressure Boosts High Production Rates
The most energy-intensive elements in a carding machine are the drive, the dust suction process and the compressed air system. Permanent suction is needed to remove dust and cotton waste in key places. In contrast to Trützschler cards, many cards on the market also use compressed air for suction hoods in the pre-carding and post-carding areas, for example. Smart optimization of these areas has made the intelligent card TC 19i a benchmark for energy efficiency in carding because it uses less electricity, lower suction pressure and less compressed air than other machines, while providing the highest production rates currently available on the market.
A 10 % Reduction in Energy Consumption per Kilogram
In a head-to-head comparison between the TC 19i and a high-performance card from a competitor, the TC 19i consumed at least 10 % less energy per kilogram of material produced when manufacturing rotor yarn from a cotton and cotton waste mix. The compared energy values included electric power consumption and energy required for suction and compressed air and were measured in both cards at the same production of 180 kg/h. A 10 % reduction in energy per kilogram of sliver produced, as proven here by TC 19i, can have a significant impact on a spinning mill's profitability; annual savings worth a five-digit sum are frequently possible, depending on factors such as the output of the mill. The customer trial also showed TC 19i's excellent reliability at the customer's usual production rate of 180 kg/h, and even demonstrated stable performance at 300 kg/h in the same application. Because the TC 19i with T-GO gap optimizer realizes maximum production rates at no compromise in quality, manufacturers can reduce their energy demand and investment costs drastically: Less machines are needed to achieve the desired output, and energy consumption per production is reduced.
Energy-efficient Air Technology
Next to increased productivity, air technology plays a pivotal role in the energy balance of the TC 19i. Christian Freitag, Head of Air Technology at Trützschler, explains how he optimized the TC 19i in this area: "First, we reduced the need for compressed air wherever possible," he says. "And second, we reduced suction pressure and air requirements for suction. All of our air collectors, for example, are carefully developed to eliminate potential resistance and facilitate an ideal flow."
This improvement was made possible by a long and sometimes challenging innovation process involving mathematical models of air flows, as well as flow simulations and prototypes. By combining the final flowoptimized parts in the TC 19i, Trützschler's experts have developed a card that operates with suction pressure of just -740 Pa and with an air requirement of only 4200 m³/h. This translates into 40 % less energy demand for air technology compared to the latest high-performance competitor model.
"These achievements are fantastic – but we didn't stop there," says Ralf Helbig, R&D Engineer for Air Technology at Trützschler. "We have also made it possible to further reduce energy demand in polyester applications, which are increasingly important to our customers. In a polyester configuration, the TC 19i can reduce the necessary pressure for waste suction by a further 14 % because of improvements to elements in the pre-carding and post-carding areas, and the removal of suction hoods. The suction is still just as reliable – but it needs much less energy."
Good for the environment – and for the balance sheet
With its unique gap optimizer T-GO, its state-of-the-art drives and optimized air technology, the intelligent card TC 19i is leading the market for energy-efficient carding. No other card can match its stable performance at such high levels of productivity, or its consistent quality and energy efficiency. As a result, the TC 19i makes a valuable contribution to global sustainability – and makes mills even more profitable too.

Discussion in 'TV-Server Plugins' started by huha, January 19, 2010.
The Plugin Maker isnt active anymore - maybe one new Programmer can fix this?
That's a shame about Huha not being here (since 2016) - hope he is OK.
The source code is available on the first link, I use TVWishList on 1.19 it is fine, but I made some 'Classic' files for it.
I don't like Titan - too bright, impressive but not what I want out of a TV, and my MP automation code plugin "knows" about simple up/down layouts anyway. Sorry Catavolt I know how good and well designed your skins are, but just not me.
I am a developer but don't think I'm as clever as Huha which is annoying as I've just found a "bug" - well, not exactly.
It wasn't finding Agent's of SHIELD and a few others and I finally realised (thick twit) that the reason is as a human when I see <title>... I just keep reading into the description. So I'll have to modify and my get some iffy matches.
Arduous as it WOULD be perhaps MP might insist on not publishing plugins unless they HAVE the latest/full source - just a thought.
I'm still running an older version of MP and don't have time to help out at the moment, but it looks like that repository is up to date with the latest 1.4.5 release if anyone is interested.
I know the developer isn't around anymore, but I'm wondering if anyone here can help me. I cannot for the life of me get the "Keep until" functionality to work, at least not using the syntax described in the help documentation that comes with the plugin. No matter what I set (using "days" as the criteria) the recordings never delete.
I have cloned the repository and started to compile it against MP 1.20. I found an issue with moved interface method back in 2014. My focus will be more on the server plugin as I don't use the client plugin.
Odd, doesn't seem necessary (although DEFINITELY a good idea). I'm using TVWishList on 1.20 now - works fine.
Has anyone had their list disappear? It's happened to me twice now; every time my TV lineup changes it just gets wiped out.
I need some help for the right configuration of tvwishlist.

The typ is conflict and MP found this on the wrong channel (zdf_neo and NOT zdf) So what to do to get only information about recordings on the rigth channel?
So what to do to get only information about recordings on the rigth channel?
In the TvWishList settings on the "Formats" tab there is a checkbox for "Conflicts" at the bottom in the "Filter Criteria" section. I think if you deselect this box your emails will only have the recordings that are actually scheduled. This setting is only visible if TvWishList is set to "Expert" mode on the "Main" tab.
Note: This will filter out all conflict type notifications from emails, e.g. if a schedule is skipped because TvWishList thinks it has already been recorded etc.
Thanks for Your answer. So this typ of mail is a feature to inform the user that a title is identifity but not to be recorded.
Any way to get TV Logos to MP2 TV Server using Kodi plugin?


This disorder affects people of all ages and backgrounds, including children, although women are predominantly affected. Severe IBS can dramatically restrict mobility, through loss of control of bowel function and severe abdominal pain. These symptoms contribute to IBS being second only to the common cold as the most frequent cause of absenteeism from work and school.
Despite the significant impact on individuals and the population at large, there is no clear established cause for IBS. Whilst medical investigations are important to eliminate the possibility of an over-lapping pathology such as parasites, candida, inflammatory bowel disease, cealiacs or Crohn's disease, there is no specific investigation which patients can test positive for in order to confirm a diagnosis of Irritable Bowel Syndrome. A diagnosis of IBS is more often a diagnosis of exclusion - if its not another gastrointestinal condition, and it fits the symptom picture of IBS, then it is IBS.
There are few effective treatments for IBS. Pharmaceutical medications include anti-diarrheal agents and laxatives, some of which can be harmful if used repeatedly. Significant improvements can be made through dietary changes which can therefore reducing some trigger factors for IBS. It is also important to practice some stress reduction techniques such as breathing techniques, and positive psychology, as there is a direct link between stress and an aggravation of IBS symptoms.
The most promising, long-lasting and side-effect free results in the treatment of IBS were based on a large clinical trial conducted at an Australian university, and published in the Journal of the American Medical Association in 1998.
These results demonstrated a 64-76% improvement rate on all measures of IBS such as abdominal pain, distention and bowel habits. These results were achieved in a double-blind, placebo controlled clinical trial conducted by gastroenterologists and doctors. The remarkable positive results were achieved in the treatment group that received Chinese herbal treatments. This same formula can be purchased as pre-made capsules from select retailers, and it offers great hope for those struggling with IBS.
