"Pre-emptive wars"
Syria: an Imperialist Military Target
by Paul Labarique
Indifferent to Colin Powell's opposition, the "hawks" prepare the next stage to reshape the Middle East: the "liberation" of Lebanon and an attack on Syria. They are already preparing the indictment file to justify such operations with the same rhetoric they used for Iraq: supporting "international terrorism" and possessing weapons of mass destruction. The Pentagon knows it can count on General Sharon, so anxious to establish a Maronite State in Lebanon and eliminate Palestinian resistance. Military deployment has been in place since June 2004.

After Afghanistan, in October 2001, and Iraq in 2003, American hawks have planned to move their traveling war to Syria or Lebanon around the middle of 2004. Rotation of the expeditionary force in Iraq so as to employ fresh troops, the deployment of new units in the area, and replacement of the fleets in the Mediterranean and Arab Sea will be completed by June.
Washington proceeds with its project « to reshape the Middle East », as reiterated by President George W.Bush during his State of the Union Address. The objective of this strategy is to control the fuel reserves of the Gulf States and conquer new markets, relying on Israel in the region.
The United States can count on Jordan's servility -despite Amman's recent defense of the Palestinian Authority in the case of the "dividing wall"— as well as on the passiveness of most of the Emirates. Having secured the control over Iraq, very few powers escape its imperial authority, and Iran, Syria and Lebanon represent the axle of these powers. Saudi Arabia, that for a year now has been reaffirming its independence fickleness, is also threatened.
In the case of Israel, strategic interests are more obvious and were already theorized by David Ben Gurión fifty years back. In order not to feel surrounded by its neighbors, Israel must take control over the "weakest link in the Arab League chain": Lebanon. To achieve this, Tel Aviv must exacerbate internal conflicts and push the Christian population to transform the country into a Maronite State.
This will necessarily mean a "retreat of Lebanon's borders" and as a corollary, the expansion of the Jew State. On the other hand, as Ben Gurion specifies in a letter dated February 27, 1954 to Moshe Sharett, the then Israeli Prime Minister, «if persons and elements can be found that could be mobilized to establish a Maronite State, they will have no need for vast frontiers nor for a significant Muslim population, and this will not be a source of inconvenience».
General Ariel Sharon used this theoretical model, less tactfully, when in 1982 he went into Beirut and helped the Christian militia massacre the inhabitants of Sabra and Chatila refugee camps in the capital.
On the other hand, to defeat Palestinian resistance movements, Israel must first destroy its bases on the rear and for this it has to penetrate Syria and Lebanon.
The "pre-emptive war" doctrine designed by the Bush Administration that allows hitting anyone who threats, would threat or threatens to threat the United States, authorizes hawks to decide among themselves their next target.
Spokesmen of different governmental agencies will then be left with the task of organizing propaganda and fabricating the threat, including the made up accusations mutually validated by Israeli, American or British secret services. [1].
After the campaign in Iraq, accusation subjects are well known: supporting international terrorism, and developing weapons of mass destruction is enough to justify a global military intervention in a sovereign state -under no legal framework— its occupation and plundering. Presenting Lebanon as a country occupied by Syria authorizes its "liberation" and then to pursue the "invader" all the way up to Damascus.
As a prelude to the planned conflict, in October 2003 Israeli military aviation violated Lebanese airspace to bomb "terrorist's training camps" in Syria. While they were at it, fighters accompanying the bombers turned in another direction to carry out stunt exercises over President Bashar al-Assad's family residence.
This aggression was described by Washington and Tel Aviv, and by the whole Western press, as part of a global war against terrorism. Very few at the time thought it convenient to point out that such an offensive, illegal according to International Law, took place exactly 30 years after Syria and Egypt's attack against Israel, which marked the beginning of the Kippur war, and that it should be understood as a last warning of military operations still to come.
In January 2004, a bulldozer of the Israeli army crossed the Blue Line dividing both countries, before being destroyed by Hezbollah gunshots. This incursion immediately raised new warnings by Israel and the United States against Syria, a country they were forcing to abandon its support to "terrorists" and dismantle its weapons of mass destruction.
Accusations already denied
Given the heated historical context and recent developments in the region, the concern of Syrian leaders headed by President Bashar al-Assad is quite legitimate, particularly if we consider that Washington's and Tel Aviv's speech against Syria seems a carbon copy of the one meant to justify intervention in Iraq in March 2003.
As we have seen, not a week passes by without the authorities of any of both countries speaking before a Foreign Affairs Parliamentary Commission about Syria's threat for stability in the region. In this regard, on June 20, 2003, at a Press Conference where Ariel Sharon was also present, Colin Powell stated that if Syria were to continue being a "terrorist supporter nation" it would bear the consequences.
In the fall, the file on terrorist infiltration in Iraq from Syria, allows U.S. State Secretary to increase pressure on Damascus [2]. On September 16, 2003, U.S. Undersecretary of State for Weapons Control and International Security stated before a U.S. Parliamentary Commission that Syria continued to allow persons determined to kill Coalition soldiers to cross into Iraq. He also asserted that «Syria has allowed the entry of military equipment into Iraq, before and after the war». He also spoke about transfer of weapons, the other way round, from Iraq to Syria.
Thus, Saddam Hussein may have concealed his weapons of mass destruction by hiding them in the neighboring territory before the American invasion. He was, however, unable to confirm his assertions without the slightest material evidence. [3].
In Israel, Damascus is always distinguished for its support to "terrorism", and not only to Hezbollah. Israeli intelligence accuses Syria of financing and training Palestinian kamikazes for suicide attacks in Israel. The "terrorist training camps" targeted during the attacks on October 5, 2003, would have served this purpose, as asserted at the time by the Israeli press [4].
Few days after the attack, however, the Parisian daily Le Monde would reveal that the place had been deserted for many years, « maybe 10» [5]. Accusations by Israeli authorities are filed before the Foreign Affairs and Defense Commission of the Knesset in order to document Syria's involvement in the "global Islamic Terrorist Network", despite the secular nature of the regime and the long prohibition to Muslim brothers.
Even recently, Silvan Shalom, Minister of Foreign Affairs of Israel, accused Syria of having used humanitarian convoys to Iran to bring back shipments of weapons for " terrorist" organizations.
The WMD issue is likewise decisive, as the Iraqi experience showed last spring. So everything is ready in the American communication system to come up with a secret weapon program by Damascus.
In June 2004, National Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice gave full attention to the testimony of Nizar Nayyouf, a Syrian opponent residing in Paris. The latter claimed to «have information supplied by a Syrian senior officer, currently a dissident (...) indicating the places where the Iraqi WMD were buried in order to hide them from the supervision of inspectors in Iraq».
Even more cynical, on December 15, 2003, the day after Saddam Hussein's arrest, Ha'aretz revealed that the United States military could offer Saddam a deal if he would give information on WMD, particularly if he had them, and if so, if he had hidden them in Syria in the wake of the American invasion.
These "truths", asserted without the slightest evidence, allowed for the adoption of the Syria Accountability Act, a regime of commercial and diplomatic sanctions against Syria applicable at the discretion of the American President, who can decide by himself the implementation modalities. However, as in the case of Iraqi weapons of mass destruction, the incoherent and exaggerated nature of these accusations has been widely refuted by several official sources.
On November 12, 2003, former American envoy Theodore Kattouf stated that according to him, Syria had not facilitated the crossing of fundamentalist militants to Iraq since April, when its borders were closed. As to the recent Hezbollah attack on an Israeli bulldozer that had crossed the Blue Line, according to confidential information provided by a State Chief of Tsahal, the attack had not been coordinated with Syria. [6].
Preparations in the Wake of the Offensive
Developments were triggered after the arrest of the president, and associations with Hezbollah increased in the border between Israel and Lebanon. Tensions climbed once again exacerbated by U.S. Defense Secretary Donald Rumfeld's words, who on May 8, 2004 said he was considering sending special troops to the Lebanese Beka'a Valley under Syrian control "to catch terrorists".
According to L'Orient Le Jour, such an operation would begin « by sea or maybe by land from Iraq, and it would be a "police style" operation aimed at capturing " increasingly wanted terrorists" ».
Israeli incursion in Lebanese territory on January 20, 2004, is also interpreted by the Lebanese daily as a sign of war escalation in the region. Quoting an European diplomat in Beirut, editor Emile Khoury wrote on January 22, 2004: « Mr. Sharon may be tempted to use the U.S. presidential campaign period, in which we already are, to launch a new military adventure under the pretext of fighting terrorism. That is why Israeli prime minister is reluctant to renew talks with Syria where they had been left (...), because President Bashar al-Assad, seeing tensions mount, offered, in December 2003, to renew negotiations with Israel from where they had been left by his father, Hafez al-Assad and the then Israeli Prime Minister Yitzakh Rabin ».
Discussions had then led to an agreement that envisaged Israel's withdrawal from the Golan Heights, but of course, this solution does not please Ariel Sharon, who under the conclusions of the 1993 Perle report can afford to prolong instability in this front, waiting to get better results in the negotiations later on. This is the reason why Israel fully guarantees its role as an "obstacle for peace".
In December 2003, an Israeli newspaper reported how Ariel Sharon's government had recently rejected a Syrian proposal aimed at ensuring a lasting ceasefire in the Blue Line, in return for ceasing violations of Lebanese air space by the Israeli army as well as its maneuvers along the border. [7].
That is also the reason for recent statements by several members of Sharon's government to denounce the trick, according to them, behind President al-Assad's call to renew negotiations. Ariel Sharon has specially declared his unwillingness to initiate negotiations that would ultimately lead to a withdrawal from the Golan Heights, currently occupied by Israel. [8].
David Kay
Thus, the destabilization plan for the region seems to be ready and the field of action confined to the Beka'a Valley. The reference magazine Jane's Intelligence Digest was right to publish an article on Friday, June 23, about the recent declarations of the American Administration on Syria. The magazine writes that Donald Rumsfeld is considering provoking a military confrontation with Syria by attacking Hezbollah bases near the Syrian-Lebanese border.
However, obstacles in the path towards Damascus have already emerged. Last week's failed meeting of the pro American Syrian opposition at the Holiday Inn hotel in Brussels, delays the establishment of a credible political alternative, as was the case with Ahmed Chalabi's Iraqi National Council. But the worst blow came from the United States, where David Kay, head of the American Inspection Team in charge of discovering Iraqi weapons of mass destruction, resigned in mid January indicating that Saddam Hussein's weapons program had not been renewed since the end of the First Gulf War, an assertion that few days later he had to elaborate on in a brief statement to Sunday Telegraph in which he went as far as admitting that "components of the weapons of mass destruction program" of the former Iraqi dictator had been transferred to Syria before the war «though we are not talking of big quantities of weapons», just the remains of a weapons program abandoned 13 years ago.
This controversy, coming from a CIA expert official, shows the Agency's opposition to neo-conservatives and the determination of its director, George Tenet, to deprive the Pentagon of an unfounded pretext.
We can also see that the Hawks' long plotted plan has encountered an unexpected difficulty. Turkey, a NATO member and a military ally of Israel, has withdrawn its support to the United States in the war against Iraq. It refused to take part in the war and prohibited the Coalition over fly its airspace, and this has compelled the Pentagon to reshape its forces before launching an offensive, at a considerable cost for the operation.
But Washington, rushing its calendar to fight Iraqi resistance, was too quick in announcing its intention to establish an autonomous and later on independent Kurdistan. Taking advantage of the situation, Syria immediately turned to its traditional ally, Iran and to Turkey to make the project fail. The three States, home to Kurd minorities, feel threatened with Yugoslavia-like outbreaks if mono-ethnic States are established.
Huntington's theory of a so-called Shiite evil axle (Iran-Syria-Lebanon) is no longer coherent with current alliances.
However, Ariel Sharon's government could benefit from the American presidential election campaign to launch a regional military offensive. Using its privileged contacts with the Bush Administration "hawks" would rush the Pentagon to a war that some still expect to prevent.

Q: Show that a group of order $1755=3^3\times 5\times 13$ must have a normal Sylow $13$ subgroup or a normal Sylow $5$ subgroup. Question: Show that a group of order $1755=3^3\times 5\times 13$ must have a normal Sylow $13$ subgroup or a normal Sylow $5$ subgroup.
My thoughts: $n_{13}\equiv 1\pmod{13}$ and $n_{13}\mid  135$, so $n_{13}=1$ or $27$.  If $n_{13}=1$, then we have a normal Sylow $13$ subgroup of $G$, and we're done.  If $n_{13}=27$, then let $Q\in{\rm Syl}_{13}(G)$.  As $G$ acts on $Q$ by conjugation, we induce a homomorphism $\phi:G\rightarrow S_{27}$, where $|G:N_G(Q)|=27$, thus $|N_G(Q)|=5\times 13$.  Since $13\neq 1\pmod{5}$, we have that $N_G(Q)$ is cyclic thus abelian.  Let $R\in{\rm Syl}_5(N_G(Q))$, thus $R\trianglelefteq N_G(Q)$.  From here, I am not quite sure how to show that $R$ must then be normal in $G$.
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Thank you.

A: Here is a proof. First, as you noticed, $n_{13}=27$ so there are $12\cdot 27=324$ elements of order $13$ in $G$. Next $n_5$ divides $351$ and $n_5\equiv 1 \pmod{5}$, hence $n_5=351$. Then the number of elements of order $5$ is $351\cdot 4=1404$. The number of elements of order $5$ or $13$ is then $1728$.
There are then at most $1755-1728=27$ elements whose orders are powers of $3$, including $1$. Hence $n_3=1$ and the group $G$ has one normal Sylow 3-subgroup $N$. For every $5$-Sylow subgroup $S$, $SN/N$ is a $5$-Sylow subgroup of $G/N$. If $S'\ne S$ is another Sylow $5$-subgroup, then $SN/N\ne S'N/N$. So $G/N$ has $1404$ elements of order $5$, a contradiction because $|G/N|<1404$.

Venezuelan Cryptoasset "Petro" to be Publicly Available Next Week
Jose Antonio Lanz September 28, 2018 No Comments
The president of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, Nicolás Maduro Moros announced via a joint radio and television broadcast the activation of the Petro (PTR) as an exchange currency for the Republic's international commercial activities, starting October 1 across the country:
" This #24Sep will be set up in the test phase, the new #Biopayment System for the charging of fuel in all service stations, and on #01Oct the Petro will be effective as convertible currency in the country.
According to the frequent statements of Mr. Maduro and other high ranking representatives of the Venezuelan government, all the necessary details to guarantee the implementation of this "new stage" of the Petro as possible national use crypto are already in place.
El próximo #24Sep se instalará en fase de prueba, el nuevo Sistema de #Biopago para el cobro del combustible en todas las estaciones de servicio, y el #01Oct entrará en vigencia el Petro como moneda de intercambio de divisas convertibles en el País. pic.twitter.com/lZki37B4Ak
— Nicolás Maduro (@NicolasMaduro) September 21, 2018
Few data have been revealed about the cryptocurrency because of strategic reasons. Many of the actions that the government is undertaking have been carried out with a certain caution to avoid possible counter-actions that could hinder the fulfillment of the established goals.
U.S. sanctions on Venezuela are not exclusive to the country described by President Trump as a authoritarian government. People in other nations such as China and Russia have also received similar sanctions. In an interview for Business Insider, Luisa Palacios, the head of Latin America at advisory firm Medley Global Partners commented that said penalties increase the risks not only for strategic industries but for any economic activity in which Venezuela is a party:
"The sanctions have just elevated significantly the risk of any counterparty of dealing with Venezuela because then you have to check whether are you going to be in violation of sanctions.
Petro (PTR): What It Really Is
Little is known about Petro, beyond what is established by the Decree Law of its creation and the final version of its whitepaper:
According to Decree No. 3196 dated December 8, 2017, the Petro is a token that "will have, as a physical backing, a sales contract of (01) barrel of oil from the Venezuelan crude oil basket …".
It is important to note that many opposition spokespersons have considered this an illegal act as they allege that oil reserves cannot be sold, however, the practice of futures contracts is widespread in the oil and commodities market in general, and Venezuela is familiar with this practice.
After its creation, the National Assembly issued an memorandum in which they ruled that the decree was null and void, even though this atribution falls under the jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of Justice through an appeal for nullity.
It is also important to note in the Venezuelan power game that the Supreme Court of Justice declared the National Assembly null and void for refusing to execute a binding ruling. The sentence is still valid because the National Assembly has refused to comply with that obligation.
According to its Whitepaper, the Petro (PTR) will be a mosaic running under the NEM network, will have a fixed issue of 100 million tokens, its value will fluctuate in a secondary market according to the market price and may be bought and exchanged for fiat money in exchanges duly certified for that purpose.
Also in search of controlling the accelerated inflation that the country lives, the government anchors the minimum wage to a value of 0.5 PTR, which is the equivalent to half the cost of a barrel of oil in dollars, eliminating the exchange control that existed since the time of Hugo Chavez. In this way, the government pretends that the salary in bolivars adapts to the value of the dollar maintaining a certain stability.
Until now no further details have been given about the way of implementation or the rest of the "stages" of this plan; however it is expected that in the course of the days more information will be published.

by Destiny Dev Team Sep 25 at 1:40:35 AM
On September 9th the Bungie team traded late nights building Destiny for late nights playing Destiny with all of you. We'd looked forward to that day for years, knowing that it would bring millions of fresh eyes into our world and quickly change many of our plans and priorities. We were not disappointed.
In the last two weeks there have been many surprises, bugs, exploits, world firsts, and a whole lot of fun. It's been an amazing time. We think now is a great time to step back and let you all know how we think the game is holding up and to talk about some changes we are contemplating going forward.
We will be patching some of these issues as early as today. Others may not be addressed for a month or two. Stay tuned for updates and thank you for all your feedback online.
He Who Shall Not Be Named
Long ago during development, the Cryptarch decoded engrams of a given color into gear of that same color. Early in 2014 we added randomness, both for better and worse, to the decrypting process. The result was that end-of-session engram decoding got a lot more exciting and the Cryptarch himself suddenly acquired a personality. Both of these experiences were positive additions to the game.
But we didn't adequately communicate the potential random outcomes of decryption. Players see what looks like the familiar metaphor of item identification, while the Cryptarch thinks he's opening a grab bag of loot. Rage sharding of blues ensues. Expect to see changes to address this soon.
Destiny: The Cave
The social experience of a cave farming run is amazing: the herding to get a team of Guardians all behind the line and firing in the right direction, the rush to grab the loot, the scramble when the panic wave starts, the beckoning glow from inside the cave. The speed at which the community organized around this activity was inspiring and humbling to us.
But shooting at a black hole for hours on end isn't our dream for how Destiny is played. Our hope is that social engagement in public spaces is only one part of the Destiny experience. Expect changes soon which decrease the efficiency of cave farming and correspondingly increase engram drops from completing activities.
Reward Celebration
Growing more powerful by acquiring new upgrades, gear or progression is central to Destiny's player experience. Our goal is to always celebrate when this occurs, both as a reward in and of itself and to communicate to players what is going on.
During development we sometimes prioritized making a system functional over celebrating its rewards, for example:
The Vault of Glass contains highly coveted loot but the actual moment of reward happens without fanfare and can be easily missed.
The lowest level of the Daily Heroic gives great XP and Reputation rewards, but neither of these progressions appears on the postgame screen.
We will slowly be addressing these and other issues going forward.
Voice Communication
Our vision for Destiny is that all players, even matchmade players in the Crucible, Strikes, the Tower or public spaces, be able to communicate with one another in a way that promotes positive socialization. Voice communication is the easy answer, but existing voice paradigms, including those in our own Halo games, have not done enough to protect players from abusive griefing from a minority of players.
Destiny's near-term solution will be to allow players to opt-in to voice communication during matchmade activities. Work on this feature was underway at launch and should be rolled out this year in Strikes and the Crucible.
Strikes are intended to be a fun, combat-filled romp and stomp with a big boss and cool rewards at the end. Better with cooperation, but doable in a pick up group.
Since launch we've tracked down an issue which has made Strikes more challenging than originally designed by both increasing damage taken by players and decreasing the damage inflicted by players on the boss. Expect to see this addressed soon, and for Strikes to become a little less grindy as a result (sorry, Raiders - incoming damage is working as intended in the Vault of Glass).
Our goal when balancing Destiny is to never have one player choice-- for example a choice of class or weapon-- either be so much better than the alternatives that it is the only valid choice or to be so much worse that it would always be a mistake to choose. When we are successful with this kind of balance the result is a wide set of equally compelling player builds, some of which may be preferred by one player or another but none of which is an absolute right or wrong choice.
Exotic Weapons
Exotic Weapons are designed to look, feel and sound overpowered, but to not actually break the game. We hope these weapons challenge the way players think about their loadouts and expect their idiosyncrasies to sometimes be a little frustrating. We find ourselves wanting to collect them all and hope players feel the same way.
Not all our Exotic Weapons currently live up to this promise. In particular those weapons received from completing exotic bounties including Thorn and Bad Juju have disappointed many of us who have gone through the great effort to obtain them because, despite looking and sounding amazing, they feel underpowered. We're here to offer some advice: don't shard those guns. Their time will come.
Auto Rifles
The Auto Rifle archetype is designed to appeal to players who like to throw up a wall of bullets and not worry if a few miss their target. It is intended to inflict sustained damage at close to medium range, but to lose effectiveness at longer ranges.
Today the Auto Rifle is too effective at long range, even beating Scout and Pulse Rifles in some circumstances. Expect stability and/or damage adjustments to the Auto Rifle to address this in the weeks ahead.
Scout Rifles
Scout Rifles are for players who like to keep their enemies at medium range and hate to miss. They are intended to be an awkward weapon to use at close range but to be dominant-- as long as you land your shots-- at medium and longer ranges.
Scouts just aren't hitting hard enough today when compared to other precision weapons. We'll be addressing this soon.
Shotguns are for those situations where you need to deliver a massive spike of damage, right now, to the thing standing next to you about to do you harm.
Today shotguns are effective beyond their intended range, especially when upgraded with that intention. Expect changes soon to address shotguns which push the envelope of what it means to be close quarters.
Thank you for helping us drive these changes. Keep sharing. Keep talking. We're watching and listening.
Yeah, looking like a trade in if they don't add some new stuff to do in the very near future.

That sucks. I was planning on actually doing the cave some.
weapons sound like well thought changes.
The cave is probably a good thing I did it for awhile for the first time last night. It was ridiculous 8 level 20 plus people pumping rounds into a hole, and you get experience just being their I noticed after running out of ammo. I got a legendary rocket lancher and a bunch of blue items.....and I felt dirty afterward.

I always felt that if people wanted to spend all day in the forest killing boars that was their business. It was a broken mechanic. I got several levels of cryptarch rep out of it but the cryptarch dropped the hammer on me with a bunch of shitty decrypts.

And he will continue to do so until they patch him. It seems silly to nerf loot before fixing the loot system.
Out of 15 legendary engrams I have had since launch, I have received 3 items and only 2 were usable for my class.
Granted a few of those were from the cave but there were other, better areas to farm that were much more enjoyable (the Mars relic iron run) but they too have been nerfed.
T3muJin
So what's the point of the Queen's missions now. I already have legendary gear and upgrades as far as I can go. I need shards and they're too damn hard to come by.
Definitely pissed about the Queen's nerf.
It also sucks that nerfing the loot cave also nerfs engram drops throughout the entire game.
I'm not sure how to take this since it is becoming harder to want to play this game when everything is so repetitive and they have just made it harder to receive rewards for doing it. Sure they will "fix" the Cryptarch some day but for now you just have to deal with less reward for the same amount of work...
Sad really.

Thats a good point and does suck. The longer spawns may make it less fun for the general game play too not just camping.
"But shooting at a black hole for hours on end isn't our dream for how Destiny is played."
Apparently their dream is for people to play the game once a week to do the one nightfall strike and one raid then put it away for the next 6 days. Doing 40+ strikes and not even getting a single purple engram is beyond stupid and just makes it boring, but that's how it works. At least with the loot cave you get to kill that same number of enemies in an hour or two so at least then when you get nothing you didn't waste 2 or 3 days.
And now what's the point of the queens missions? I got the helmet, I don't need 4 more of them. Her weapons suck, so there's no point to her bounties at all.
It's a very good thing Destiny didn't launch in November with the big boys, don't think too many people would be hanging on to it.
Gatsu
As much as I liked the game when it first dropped...it's getting harder for me to want to keep playing. Let's play the same 10 missions over and over....with no promise of any actual good loot that will get me to a higher level.
Bungie - "hey...let's be a social game with social this and social that, with no trading or sharing items between friends. Let's cap your XP level at 20 and make you get light focussed armor to get to a higher level, and then go find materials to make that armor better, but make you grind through 10+ missions over and over with no promise of getting any of these materials. Let's also have 10 different kinds of currency and ranks for every thing."
The Cryptarch thing is 100% bullshit. Why color code the engrams if the cryptarch isn't gonna give you a color matched item. Purple does not equel 3 greens. I got a legendary drop. i want a goddamn legendary item. Though they did address this in their last update post so hopefully they will take out the random color crap.
Crucible - Doesn't seem to matter how well you do. I scored 2nd place and did pretty damn well in 1 match. Didn't get anything. People below me got stuff. Dafuq? Why play if I'm not gonna get anything out of it. I don't like playing with randoms. Given the choice I'd play with friends only. So if I'm forced to play with randoms....give me a reason to come back other than doing more things I don't like for some bullshit rank and marks for items I will probably never buy.
I like Bungie. But they f*cking up right now.
Errant Doctor
The nerf on dismantling the Queen's gear is way more drastic than ending the loot cave. Never got why people would stand there for hours, I'd rather grind out patrols and bounties then shot at a cave. Well either that or some of the runs (the Mars relic iron run in particular).
FYI, Ishtar University and adjoing areas are very good farming areas for 'real men'. Lots of Fallen and Vex but you actually have to move and aim and select Elemental weapons. Sometimes these areas literally surge with enemies.
Thom293
I agree there are some problems with the game - most specifically the "reward moment" and how little variety there is in the weapons. The variety in missions is a little stale, but they still incentivise you to play them far more than say Firefight in any other Halo game. This part doesnt bother me that much. Fixing voice comms is literally the single most important thing they can do, IMHO. Not being able to socialize in a social game kills a large part of its allure.
But nefing the loot cave and its ilk was absolutely correct. They were clearly broken. Personally I cant believe anyone would choose to do that over literally anything else - no matter what loot it gave. To each his own I guess.
The queens mission loot sharding thing is perhaps a bit much - perhaps just reduce the chance to get those particular materials... The weapons changes are needed. Its still AR or go home. I love them, but there really is no reason to use anything else. Nerfing sniper shotguns is welcome.
Right now, crucible loot is 100% random. Ive gotten 3 legendary crucible drops and 2 of thre were in games that were probabaly my worst MP games in any game ever. I belive they need to change it so one column is performance based, and one column is random. So, top 3 or 4 will always get something, and all slots will also have a random chance for loot in the second column.
Actually, many of those changes sound like great improvements to the game. I'll gladly give up loot caves for a greater desire to play Strikes for example.

+1 for this.
The Queen's mission shards nerf sucks. I don't fucking need 7 Queen's robes. The only thing they were good for was shards. I'm not going to change my gear to something that's going to lower my light level AND make me use shards to upgrade it.
Wood_Ghost
Unfortunately I still have 2 of the 4 coats I received. Now no shards. What do you get when you dismantle them?
Ders.
Weapon balancing sounds perfect for pvp, and I too am dismayed by the shardless queen gear and engram nerfs.
Oh well, I am still finding it difficult to do all the weekly/daily stuff as it is, so I have no major complaints at this point. Just need to find 5 people to do the VoG with now that I'm leve 26. :P
yeah that's kind of an odd choice for them as well with the whole matchmaking versus finding friends. If you do strikes....they put you with randoms. If you do a raid....you have to have friends. no matchmaking.
I do like some of the improvements you guys listed.
Wikiri
Stopping the loot cave actually does nothing. There's already another 'loot cave' going around, and rumors of plenty more. The loot caves are bringing my wife and I back into playing the game just for the thrill of looting it until the cops shut it down....then we'll just move on to the next one.

#25 Fri, 09/26/2014 - 14:11
My wife and I looted that spot last night. Not quite as nice as the Loot Cave because of the slightly longer respawn time (10 seconds?), and really requires 2 people to do smoothly, but we still did better in 30 minutes there than we did for the other 2 hours we played strikes, missions, and patrols last night.
I wonder if a Loot Cave game would sell?
Skip all the development and that big game in the middle. Just make a monster cave and a gun to shoot at the escapees. Don't even spend time on monster graphics as they rarely leave the cave anyway. Players just need shoot in straight lines and then announce what they got.
I wonder if a bullet sponge game would sell?
Do away with the need for any sort of intelligence or teamwork or any silly stuff like that, just have a giant yellow sponge stand still and make you hold down RT for 10 minutes til it falls over. It could even drop hats that aren't as good as the ones you already have.
Apparently it already does. $250,000,000 worth already sold.
I'm always a little surprised when people complain about exploits getting shut down. After months and months of of GTA Online you would think I'd be used to it.
I don't care how you play the game, but here's a tip...
If you saw the exploit on Youtube, it's going to get shut down soon.
If you want shortcuts to levelling and loot, go out, find them and then don't broadcast them. I promise you that a game this big still has many areas available to let you avoid what you consider pointless grinding and that I consider the game.
As for the economy being complicated, my only experience with anything of this scale was a true MMO, but a very early one. Ultima Online was much more complicated by a good big factor and I think the reason behind that choice was to provide for a variety of playing experiences within a single game. My understanding with the newer MMO's is that it has gotten even more complicated. For me, Destiny hits that sweet spot. I don't want to read a book to learn how to play your game, but I don't mind spinning my gears for a while, making some poor decisions and learning from them. If that's intolerable to you, this probably isn't the game for you. I don't think the multiple currencies are a design flaw that Bungie didn't detect until they released the game. I think they're a planned mechanic.
Another valuable lesson I have learned is that if you are unhappy with the game, you still are probably not going to get your money back. No matter how much you piss and moan in here. It might be best to just stop playing and cut your losses.
Also, stop whining. It's really unattractive.

CC8 recommendations welcomed by climate negotiators
BONN – José Alberto Garibaldi, advisor to the UK government on climate change, said at a side event to the Climate Conference 08 (CC8) arranged by Bellona in Bonn on June 7th, that he had heard ideas discussed at the CC8 event that he seldom hears.
Published on June 9, 2008 by Eivind Hoff

"Descriptions by leaders of how they got their countries to decouple greenhouse gas emissions from economic growth, and proposals to take account of domestic action in international climate negotiations were some of the things that were discussed at the CC8 conference but that I seldom hear," he said.
The Bonn side event was chaired by former New Zealand prime minister Jennifer Mary Shipley.
"The CC8 conference really managed to convey that technological solutions exist and that all of us need to contribute to meeting the climate change challenge," she said.
Gunnar Eskeland, content director for the CC8 conference, laid out the key messages of an open letter from the conference. This were broadly endorsed by the discussants.
Karsten Sach, deputy director general for international co-operation at the German Ministry for the Environment agreed with the crucial importance of using a variety of tools to push and pull climate-related technologies.
"I question the view that we do not need to pick winners. CO2 capture and storage is one example where we know there is a great potential. We need to make technological choices, see if the technology works and review it after some time," he told the audience.
Global auctioning of emission allowances
"Trust is one of the big problems we are facing in the climate negotiations, with developing countries arguing that developed countries have not done what they were meant to do" Norway's chief negotiator Hanne Bjurstrøm said.
"There are many challenging proposals in your letter," she continued, noting that discussions on the same topics were ongoing in Bonn. She thought much of it boiled down to a question of funding.
"Norway has proposed a new financial system with global auctioning post-2012 of a certain percentage of national emission allowances," she explained. The revenue from this global auctioning would guarantee a predictable and reliable source of income for a multilateral fund that would be independent of annual state budgets.
Lu Xuedu, deputy director-general of the Office of Global Environmental Affairs in China's Ministry of Science and Technology, was particularly satisfied with the many practical ideas that the CC8 recommendations included – in contrast to the international climate negotiations.
"There has been a lot of talk about technology transfer in the negotiations, but no progress on substance," he said.
The entire side event was recorded and can be viewed from 9 June onhttp://unfccc.meta-fusion.com/kongresse/SB28/templ/ovw_page.php?id_kongressmain=48.

Wondering which company offers the best web hosting? Is it Bluehost, HostGator, or DreamHost?
Starting a website is fun, but there are several things that we need to address prior to launching a site.
First, we must select a host for our website. There are many excellent web hosting companies available, and for a beginner, selecting the best of the best is no easy task.
All web hosting companies will claim to give you the best server and unlimited resources, but when you sign up with them, you will immediately begin to face a number of issues. For this reason, it is very important to be cautious and selective when choosing your web hosting company.
In this post, I will offer you a detailed comparison between HostGator, DreamHost, and Bluehost. I have chosen to compare these three companies because I have found them to be the top service providers for shared hosting to date.
I have used DreamHost and HostGator for my personal sites, and Bluehost for my customer sites. So far, Bluehost and HostGator have surprised me the most with their hosting quality and support.
In particular, Bluehost is highly recommended for running a WordPress blog, as it is recommended by the official WordPress.org hosting page & also offers free SSL which is a much required for our websites in 2017.
My experience with all three of these hosting companies has been in hosting WordPress sites, and WordPress uses memory-intensive software. In other words, WordPress is a memory hog! This is important to know when choosing your website's host.
A WordPress blog requires hosting to be updated with the latest technology, and all three of these hosting companies offer a well-optimized environment for running a WordPress blog.
With Bluehost and HostGator, I have experienced handling of almost 20k/PV daily, all with a well-optimized WordPress blog + cache plugin.
DreamHost has lately disappointed with their server quality & delayed support.
If you are looking to start a serious website, and you are anticipating more than 200,000 PV/month, I would suggest that you choose Bluehost. Bluehost also offers free SSL & PHP 7 which will ensure your website offers optimum performance. In fact, my personal choice would be Bluehost for their high-end servers and top quality service.
Note: Bluehost is officially endorsed by WordPress community for hosting WordPress sites.
So far I have used Bluehost's telephone support five or six times, and they have always taken care of my issue within a couple of minutes.
DreamHost also offers telephone support, but unlike Bluehost and HostGator, they don't offer free telephone support. Their telephone support is a premium service, and this is a feature which I do not like. More over, in 2017 Dreamhost service has gone down due to their team change & is not recommended for hosting WordPress site.
When it comes to support, we usually use live chat, a feature that is offered by both Bluehost and HostGator. They both offer a ticketing system as well.
I hope this comparison of DreamHost vs. HostGator vs. Bluehost has given you a better idea of your various hosting options before you begin your successful online career!
Do let me know which web hosting company you prefer among the above 3, and which web hosting company you would recommend to others. Tell me your thoughts in the comments!
Dreamhost is just best than other twos.
Hi Harsh, thanks for the informative article.
I have a quick question, can bluehost handle the amount of traffic Shoutmeloud receives? How much traffic will it be able to handle?
ShoutMeLoud receives 1.5 Million page views a month & Bluehost or any other shared hosting might not be able to handle this load due to many factors.
I believe you should be able to handle 30-40K traffic/day.
Thanks for this detailed comparison. When I checked my site using 'Open SEO Stats' Chrome extension, it says my website is too slow and I should migrate to a faster server and given some recommendations, about Top 10 Web Hosting, and they say Bluehost is ranked one and Hostgator is not on their list!!
Thank you Harsh for this informative and detailed comparison of the different hosting options. The task of choosing the right host for a beginner can be daunting, as I know from personal experience. I especially liked how HostGator has a lot more features – as small as they might be – with their support and that can make a lot of difference. I do think that in this case spending that little extra to opt for either HotGator or Bluehost is totally worth it.

What Is Engine Capital? 7 Things to Know About the Activist Investor Lifting Kohl's Stock Today.
Activist investor Engine Capital is urging Kohl's to make some major changes
December 6, 2021 By Eddie Pan, InvestorPlace Assistant News Writer Dec 6, 2021, 2:58 pm EST December 6, 2021
Some price action surrounding a major retailer's stock is leaving investors scratching their heads today. Shares of Kohl's (NYSE:KSS) stock are trading higher today by 7%. However, today's news surrounding the stock isn't exactly positive. Activist investor Engine Capital owns roughly 1% of Kohl's shares outstanding and recently penned a disapproving letter to Kohl's management.
Source: Sundry Photography/Shutterstock.com
The letter urged the retailer to either sell itself to another party or split off its digital business. While Kohl's stock has increased 34% year t0 date (YTD), Engine Capital has been anything but pleased with Kohl's management and long-term performance. The firm noted that since Michelle Gass became CEO in May 2018, the stock has declined by 10.5%, underperforming the S&P 500 by 90% and company peers by 19.1%.
The activist investor rationalized that assuming online sales of $6.2 billion and a conservative multiple of 2x sales, Kohl's digital business could be worth $12.4 billion as a standalone entity. That figure is 57% higher than the market capitalization of Kohl's stock today, which sits at $7.86 billion.
Additionally, Engine Capital stipulates that Kohl's is trading at a massive discount when compared to its intrinsic value. Through the firm's own due diligence, it concluded that there are private equity firms that would pay up to $75 per share to acquire Kohl's. The $75 price figure represents a premium of 43% from Kohl's current market cap.
In response, a Kohl's spokesperson issued the following statement:
"The Kohl's board and management team continuously examine all opportunities for maximizing shareholder value. Our strong performance this year demonstrates that our strategy is gaining traction and driving results. We appreciate the ongoing dialogue we are having with our shareholders and value their input and perspectives."
So, who exactly is Engine Capital? Let's take a deeper look into the New York-based hedge fund.
What Is Engine Capital? 7 Things to Know As Kohl's Stock Rises.
Engine Capital is a "value-oriented special situations fund that invests both actively and passively in companies undergoing change."
According to Engine Capital's most recent 13F filing, it manages $369 million, with Dell (NYSE:DELL) as its largest holding.
During Q3, the activist investor increased its holdings in Kohl's, Dell and PROG Holdings (NYSE:PRG), among others.
Engine Capital has an average holding period of 5.53 quarters, according to WhaleWisdom. The fund first acquired shares of Kohl's in Q4 of 2020.
Arnaud Ajdler serves as the managing partner of Engine Capital. Ajdler received an M.B.A. from Harvard University and previously worked at Boston Consulting Group and Deutsche Bank (NYSE:DB).
In 2014, Engine Capital pressured fashion retailer Ann Taylor to sell itself. The campaign was successful and Ann Taylor was bought by Ascena Retail Group for $2.15 billion.
Investors are likely reacting positively to the Engine Capital letter because of what it could mean for KSS stock. Spinning off its faster-growing digital business could give investors access to only the assets they want.

Bajaj Dominar is the 1st Indian Bike to finish Trans-Siberian Odyssey
in Bajaj, Bikes
Bajaj Dominar 400 has created history by becoming the 1st Indian bike to conquer the world's toughest journey – The Trans Siberian Odyssey. The journey spanned over 53 days traversing about 15,600 km across 6 countries, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan, Russia, Mongolia and back into Russia. This translates in to nearly 390 km of hyper-riding every day across all kinds of terrain i.e. high altitude passes, grasslands, river beds, sand, rocky terrains, dirt trails, steep gradients, loose gravel, and harsh extreme temperatures. All without any service support or back-up. Dominar 400 scaled some of the world's most difficult of terrains on this Trans-Siberian Odyssey including more than 3000 km being covered on the famous Stalin era Road of Bones. It also became the only Indian bike to tame Charyn Canyon also known as little brother of Great Canyon, which features a sheer drop of over 100 meters at a 45 degree incline.
The challenge was taken up by 3 passionate and experienced riders – Deepak Kamath, Dilip Bhat and Sudhir Prasad. Deepak Kamath has been riding for over 21 years now and has a record in his name for the Continental Raid. Dilip started touring early at an age of 20 and has never looked back. Sudhir is a Motoholic and has started touring since 2009.

These 3 Hyper Riders who made this mission possible were felicitated today in Mumbai by Bajaj Auto for their outstanding spirit and achievement.
Speaking on the occasion of the milestone achievement, Mr. Eric Vas, President – Motorcycle Business, Bajaj Auto Ltd, said,
Dominar 400 has redefined the long-distance riding. While riding to Leh & Ladakh during the three months of summer is considered to be the touring benchmark in India, the Dominar 400 allows motorcyclists to raise the bar to altogether another level.
The fact that the grueling Trans-Siberian Odyssey was completed using stock Dominars without any major part change or breakdown is testimony to the superior design, quality and technology of the Dominar 400
He added,
We are here to celebrate this milestone achieved by hyper-riders Deepak Kamath, Dilip Bhat, Sudhir Prasad and their Dominars. Covering an average of 390 km every day for 53 straight days across the most varied and toughest of terrains with no service back-up, is a commendable motorcycling feat that speaks volumes about the grit, determination and toughness of both the hyper-riders and their Dominars.

The 3 Dominars which have completed the Trans-Siberian Odyssey and the riders will now embark upon a victory tour across the country and stop at 10 key metro cities. They will visit Bajaj Auto dealerships where fellow Dominar owners can meet them, learn from their experiences and even ride with them.
Key Details of the Trans-Siberian Odyssey
Leg 1: Uzbekistan – Tajikistan – Kyrgyzstan : 1600 km
Pamir highway, Second-highest altitude highway in world known as 'Road from Hell', Unpaved treacherous roads. Temperature around 3 degrees.
A section of the historical old silk route, this is known as the Pamir Highway. Over 1600 km in length, the road is mostly an unpaved and un-asphalted surface of gravel and sand. The road is damaged and in dreadful condition in places because of erosion, earthquakes, landslides, and avalanches. The Pamir Highway is the second-highest altitude international highway in the world and is sometimes referred to as "The Road from Hell". The Pamir highway is mostly one-lane and goes along deep valley with no barriers between the road and the cliff. Any riding mistake can have a deadly consequence.
Leg 2: Kyrgyzstan – Kazakhstan: 2400 km
Mountainous terrain and high altitude passes, treacherous hair pinned roads.
Kyrgyzstan is a high mountain and land locked country. Over 90% of the country is mountainous terrain and involves crossing many a mountain passes at dangerous inclines. The road also boasts of some of the most beautiful lakes that include Song Kul Lake and Issyk Kul Lake. Krygyzstan also has one of the most famous hair pinned roads in the world.
Leg 3: Kazakhstan – Russia: 1980 km
Mountainous terrain, Charyn Canyon, Steep gradient of 100 feet with 45-degree incline, High speed roads.
This section has the famous Charyn Canyon which is considered in-accessible to normal vehicles due to a sheer drop of over 100 feet with a 45-degree incline, two wheelers are banned from entering into this canyon. There is no scope of return if any bike falters in this section. Dominar became the first bike to conquer the Charyn Canyon while travelling from Kazakhstan into Western Russia. This section had some of the most beautiful high speed roads in the world. Over 1980 km of sustained high speed cruising with speeds in excess of 120 km per hour is a rider's delight. The journey touches Sarkand and Semey before entering Russian at Barnoul.
Leg 4: Russia – Mongolia – Russia: 3440 km
Traverse through Alta-Krai region, High speed roads, desolate, un-inhabited lands of Mongolia & Russia.
Gateway to the real adventure begins here as the bikes made their way in Russia passing the beautiful Alta-Krai region. The journey covered travelling through the vast open lands of Russia & Mongolia. The highlight of this 3400 km journey was scaling up a massive hillock to oversee lake Gusinoye, just ahead of the Mongolian border. The riding was through long stretches with no signs of people or support making it very precarious.
Leg 5: Russia – Kolyma Highway : 4600 km
M 56 Kolyma highway, All weather gravel road, pinnacle of long distance riding.
These section included the Road of Bones – Kolyma Highway. The Kolyma Highway is also known as the Road of Bones, because the skeletons of the forced laborers who died during its construction were used in many of its foundations. The road is treated as a memorial and is now a frequently maintained all weather gravel road. The journey has mixed punishing terrain and connects Skovorodino to Kyubeme, it is considered to be the pinnacle of adventure, for riders and drivers alike.
Leg 6: Russia – The Road of Bones – The Old Summer Route :1580 km.
Challenge for adventure motorcyclists, washed-out bridges, streams, harsh freezing weather conditions.
The ultimate 1580 km of the journey has a 420 km section via Tomtor which is largely unmaintained and completely abandoned. This section is known as the Old Summer Route and remains one of the greatest challenges for adventure motorcyclists. With a surface of compacted gravel or clay, the old summer road is in a state of dis-repair with washed out bridges and roads reclaimed by streams. The road is a torture test for the bikers and the bike. There is no clear record of any adventure motorcyclists having accomplished this route without assistance (back up support vehicle). The Bajaj Dominars have become the 1st Indian bikes to reach Tomtor.

ASLRRA Names Five Industry Experts as Assessors for Short Line Safety Institute
Assessors to aid in Short Line industry's pro-active approach to safety culture
WASHINGTON, DC – American Short Line and Regional Railroad Association (ASLRRA) Chairman, Ed McKechnie announced today the selection of five industry safety experts retained as assessors for a pilot project as the first step toward the longer-range goal of developing a comprehensive industry-wide safety culture assessment program that will serve as the core of the Short Line Safety Institute. The Association has adopted the DOT statement that has identified safety culture as a top priority for the short line and regional railroad industry. Safety culture is defined as the shared values, actions, and behaviors that demonstrate a commitment to safety over competing goals and demands.
The Safety Institute is the direct result of a proposal the ASLRRA presented to U.S. Department of Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx in January 2014 as a step toward improving the safety culture for short lines transporting crude oil shipments by rail and eventually for all short line and regional railroads.
The team of assessors includes Wayne Hamm (36+ years rail safety and operating experience, Pat Black (30+ years rail safety and operating experience), Annie Richardson (20+ years safety assessment and related experience), Shannon Adamson (14+ years rail and assessment experience) and Sam Cotton (17 years rail safety and operating experience).
During the first six months of the pilot project the teams will be tasked with visiting six railroads that transport crude oil to assess whether the leadership of the assessed railroad is committed to safety, whether the organization practices continuous learning concerning safety, whether its decisions demonstrate that safety is prioritized over competing demands, whether there is a safety conscious work environment, whether the employees feel personally responsible for safety, whether there is open and effective communication across the railroad, whether mutual trust is fostered between employees and the railroad, whether the railroad is fair and consistent in responding to safety concerns, and whether training and resources are available to support safety.
According to ASLRRA Chairman, Ed McKechnie, "Safety is our most important focus and the pilot project and Institute will lead the way in creating a commitment to a strong safety culture and behavioral change from the top down based on the assessments done by this group of dedicated professionals. We look forward to the results of their work."

Updated 3pm Wednesday. 7/17/18 notes from visiting WA's senators' staffers. Rally vid: 43:17.
7/10/18: notes. FAQs & Archive. Online info about our senators.
The main takeaway from today was that we want to feel safe, and we want our senators to take a strong stance – and announce that we are not in normal times. We want them to say that we are in a Constitutional crisis. We also want them to represent us by writing bills – even if it is unlikely that they get through. We need their strong actions and words so that that people perceive them as having teeth – so that we win in the midterms.
In addition, we want Democrats to appear together en masse for the press regularly – maybe every day – to highlight how this is not normal, and we need to protect our democracy. It is tough to get press coverage – the press is more interested in Trump's controversies.
Interestingly, the link that was just made between the NRA and Russia threw people off. Butina, a Russian who is promoting the NRA in the US has relationships with this administration that are under legal investigation: ABCNews.com The NRA is a fruitful organization in dividing people in the US – more than any other issue. It is important that we unite people – by appealing to the military and law enforcement. We need to engage our patriots.
Sen. Cantwell is on the Communications, Technology, Innovation and the Internet Subcommittee, and so this is an area that she should focus on.
Please sign Sen. Murray's petition about this: MurraySenate.CP.BSD.net.
We want our senators to join other senators in pushing the agenda described in the following terms by TheHill.com: 'Democrats want Trump to detail all topics discussing during the meeting, including any "suggestions" Trump made to Putin.
Sen. Murray: '"It was truly horrifying and deeply alarming to see the President of the United States stand with the President of Russia in undercutting the work of our intelligence agencies and law enforcement and blaming America for the attacks on our elections and our democracy," she said in news release.
Sen. Cantwell: 'On Twitter, Sen. Maria Cantwell, D-Wash., said Putin again denied Russian interference and Trump again refused to call him out.
"Free and fair elections (are) the bedrock of our democracy and they must be fiercely defended," Cantwell said in a tweet. "The president should have addressed this issue today."' Spokesman.com.
Sen. Schumer told Trump to cancel the meeting: TheHill.com and then asked for notes from their one-on-one meeting: NationalReview.com. He also said "Americans 'will wonder' if Putin has dirt on Trump": Politico.com, and "demands public hearing on what Trump 'might have committed' to Putin" : TheHill.com.
He cannot vote by proxy: so his vote is no longer a factor in the Senate.
Planned Parenthood's action on this is described at WeArePlannedParenthood.org.
If he gets in, he could tip the votes to pardon 45 for all kinds of treasonous acts.
7/12/18 "Senators Patty Murray (D-WA), Dianne Feinstein (D-CA), Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), Tammy Duckworth (D-IL), and Tina Smith (D-MN), held a press conference with experts and activists from Planned Parenthood" (and others): HELP.Senate.gov.

We're on the train heading back to Stockholm after a terrific weekend of downhill biking in Åre. We had excellent weather both days -- cool, but sunny. I met a local on the lift up the mountain and learned that this past weekend was they've had in Åre in over a month. So we got lucky! The trails were a bit muddy on Friday, but we had a great time anyway. The cable-car to the top of the mountain was running too, so we got in a few runs on the rocky peak above the tree line. On Saturday it was a bit cooler and quite windy, so the higher lifts were closed and we stuck to the wooded trails on the lower part of the mountain. I was stuck with a not-so-great bike the second day because the shop accidentally lent out my bike to another person. The rear shock didn't rebound fast enough, so fast trails with lots of bumps were just no fun at all. But I made the best of it, and did trails that seemed best suited to the bike -- slower, steeper, more technically challenging trails. I even went over the steep root-encrusted drop-off that scared me so much last year. In fact, I did it twice this time around. It won't be as scary next year. It gets easier every time.
I collided with a young girl at one point, and that gave me a scare. I was biking down one of the gravel roads that cuts across the mountain. The girl was walking down the road about twenty meters ahead of her family. I passed her parents and brother without incident. Then as I was about to pass her, she suddenly panicked. Without looking, she ran across to the other side of the road, directly into my path. I hit the brakes and veered to the side but couldn't avoid hitting her with my right handlebar. I crashed into the bushes below the left side of the road, but quickly got up to see if she was okay. She was face-down and crying, and I did my best to console her until her parents arrived. He mom helped her stand up. She was frightened and scraped up a bit, and she'll probably have a nasty bruise where the handlebar hit her; but otherwise she seemed to be okay. I apologized profusely to her and her parents. They were very understanding, having seen the whole thing happen in front of them.
In our group, there were some minor scrapes and bruises, but no major injuries. Lots of photos were taken by me and Kalle, another D200 friend of Patric's who was also along on the trip. I'll post some of the best ones tomorrow or the next day.
Update: My photos are online. Åsa's photos are too!
Update 2: Calle's photos are also now online!
