Three Don'ts for Modi
The BJP viciously betrayed its voters in three ways when it came to power at the center.
1. First, it compromised on the Ram Janmabhoomi issue:
With coalition-constraints as the excuse, BJP under the sissy leadership of AB Vajpeyi (also called Hajpeyi) dragged its feet on the Ram Temple issue. Completely forgetting that its hundred-fold gain in parliamentary strength in 1999 (to about 200) from its 1980 strength (of about 2) was mainly due to the desire among the Hindus to give a self-proclaimed Hindu-favoring party some chance. Even if the BJP compromised for the sake of coalition, it must have fought the 2004 election on its owm manifesto, however ...
2. Second, it jumped onto the Development plank prefering it over its "Hindu plank":
After enjoying power for about five years on the support of Hindus (Ram-Bhaktas), it jumped into the election fray prematurely (at the behest of the "genius" Pramod Mahajan) with India Shining as its symbol for campaign. Its leadership thought that Hindu-votes were in its pockets while others had to be attracted! Its leaders started proclaiming that the structure demolition at Ayodhya was a "sad" incident, and so on.
3. Third, it surrendered on Terror and indulged in Minority Appeasement for "broadening vote base":
Kandahar episode was the lowest point in the test of spine of the BJP which always prioded itself as the hardliner party against Islamic terror. Its capitulation during this episode completely exposed the lack of conviction in its high leadership with Jaswant escorting hardcore terrorists in exchange for hostages. Further, instead of initiating a debate on Secularism and discrediting Secularism, it started to woo minorities by proclaiming itself to be truly-secular while accusing others of pseudo-secularism.
We are not dwelling on other important issues like sacrificing Kalyan Singh for Hajpeyi's fondness for Mayawati the megalomaniac; victimising Govindacharya, and Uma Bharati at the altar of BJP high-command. It is no wonder that the party fared very very badly. And it continues to fare badly except in pockets. And beware, its improved performance anywahere is more owing to rejection of the alternative (Congress) rather than any positive feeling towards the BJP. We hope that there are some heads in the BJP who understand this and will strive towards a change.
Fortunately Mr. Modi has been somewhat different on these issues. Even though he has focused on the development of Gujarat, he has maintained a pro-Hindu image. Even though he has always been villified as "merchant of death"; he has braved it all, and has never even once apologised for it. Gujarat 2002 was a subdued reaction by non-Muslims who were provoked by the true-Muslims. True-Muslims follow the exhortation of Islam to commit atrocities against non-Muslims; this they did by burning alive hundreds of passengers including women and children in coaches of Sabarmati Express at Godhra station. what followed was a understandable reaction. Modi could have hardly prevented it. Further preventing it would be like preventing spontaneous celebration by fans after India winning the cricket-world-cup! Recently Modi refused to wear the skull cap, drawing ire from the cleric who claimed the refusal to be an insult of Islam. Further, until now, Modi is unfazed by the criticism by some of the members of the NDA (like the DF Nitish Kumar)
In our opinion, any sensible leader must guard against the follwing three follies, and Hindus must assiduously watch on these things:
1. Obfuscating truth about Islam, 2. and 3. Emphasizing Secularism and Socialism respectively. Each of this is a subversion of Hindu India. Please note that the terms "Secular" and "Socialist" were introduced by Mrs. Gandhi via the 42nd amendment and were not enshrined in the original constitution. Thus, the original constitution, which was bad enough, was worsened by Mrs. Gandhi, and then later coverted to garbage (well almost) by Rajiv Gandhi.
Coming to Modi, he MUST guard against making the following mistakes (each of which can be potentially politically suicidal)
1. Apologizing for Gujarat 2002:
The whole media, the adversaries of the BJP as well as some of BJP's DF-allies like (Nitish Kumar JD) are all hell bent upon making him apologise for Gujarat 2002. Modi must realize that even if he is viewed as someone who was responsible for Gujarat 2002, he must be proud of it and not ashamed of it. Modi must never ever apologize for Gujarat 2002. If at all he does, he must apologize to the Hindus for having thwarted their legitimate reaction.
2. Islam and Minority Appeasement:
Notwithstanding anything Modi must avoid any appeasement postures with Muslims and Islam. He must clealy understand that there may be and are moderate Muslims but there is no moderate Islam. And usually the best Muslims are the Least Muslims. Modi must be clear in his understanding of Islam for what it is, rather than what Secularists want everyone to believe. Appeasement of Muslims must also be avoided. Anyone who offers him a skull cap must be asked to first bow to an idol of a Hindu god as a mark of respect to one of the accepted ways of spiritual progress in Hinduism. Modi must diligently steer clear of Islam and Minority Appeasement.
3. Dilution in his pro-Hindu image:
We do not find Modi a strong pro-Hindu politician. He has been better than many, however, he has also exhibited perilous vulnerabilities (for example see here). However, at whatever level is he known to be pro-Hindu, Modi must tenaciously guard against diluting his pro-Hindu stance.
Most people now realize and believe that Modi can deliver Development and Governance-Efficiency; however Hindus want to know if he can deliver a pro-Hindu government at the center. If he strives for this end, he would not only serve his own political ambitions, he will also serve the need of the hour of our nation. With such fervent hope we wish him all the very best. We also exhort Hindus to reject secular politicians like Nitish Kumar et al. Hindus must elect pro-Hindu politicians who can also deliver development and efficiency. Politicians like Nitish Kumar who are avowedly development-centric but Secular, are poisonous for our society. Islam is much more dangerous compared to under-development! Though we need development as well to protect ourselves against Islam's military misadventures.

Can you add the link for this comment "for example see here".
Its true, my support for BJP started to go down a4 the Gandhara fiasco & the fact that they diluted their stand on RamjanmaBhoomi. Now I don't trust BJP to be pro-Hindu at all.
I doubt Modi will become more pro-H as he moves to national stage. That's what my problem is with Modi supporters who are also aware of Islam's danger. Yet cant seem to get a straight forward answer out of them.

Grand plans for Grand Union: Birmingham gallery and studios looks to future
25 January 17
Birmingham's Grand Union is developing its programme and making plans for the future having secured £130,000 from Arts Council England and with the appointment of Mac Birmingham's former director as its new chair.
Arts Council England (ACE)
The Birmingham gallery and studio space Grand Union is making plans for its long-term future after securing £130,000 investment from Arts Council England and appointing former Mac Birmingham director Dorothy Wilson MBE as its new chair.
The Digbeth-based organisation – whose Prem Sahib show featured in a-n writers' best exhibitions of 2016 – was founded in 2010 by a group of 15 artists and curators. Since then, it has established itself as a key contemporary art venue in the city with a focus on both emerging artists and curators.
Based at Minerva Works – a complex of art spaces and businesses, a short walk from Birmingham city centre – current holders of Grand Union's eight studios include Stuart Whipps, Simon & Tom Bloor, Juneau Projects and Elizabeth Rowe.
The ACE funding will be used to support a two-year programme of new exhibitions and artistic projects.
Grand Union director Cheryl Jones described the ACE investment as "a vote of confidence in our work", adding: "Grand Union is recognised nationally and internationally as an important voice in contemporary art, and one of very few arts organisations in the UK that actively develop and support emerging curators in their chosen career.
"The future looks bright and over the next two years we have plans to work with artists including Liz Magic Laser (USA), Alex Cecchetti (France), Seecum Cheung (Coventry/Netherlands), Rory Pilgrim (Netherlands) and Susie Green (Newcastle)."
Grand Union also plans to launch a new curatorial development programme for up and coming curators, working with a range of partners including University of Birmingham, interfaith youth charity The Feast, Queer arts and culture festival Shout, and Birmingham LGBT.
New chair Dorothy Wilson said: "Grand Union is a huge asset to Birmingham and my priority as chair is to secure its long-term future in the city. Our board and staff have visionary ambitions and exciting plans."
She added that the organisation is looking to secure a new venue in Warwick Bar, a conservation area in Digbeth that was formerly home to many canalside factories in the 18th and 19th century. The area is close to the proposed HS2 (high-speed rail network) arrival point in the city.
"Our ambitions to nurture and support artists, alongside developments to our gallery and our experimental programme of exhibitions and events, combine to focus our determination to be a leading agent in the 21st century creative revolution."
The next exhibition at Grand Union is 'Hand and Mind', with Alex Cecchetti, Liz Magic Laser, Hanne Lippard, Jesper List Thomsen and Hagar Tenenbaum, curated by Vanessa Boni, 3 February – 25 March 2017.

The Central Industrial Security Force (CISF), the national agency tasked to secure these important assets, has created a maiden 'media lab' and social media monitoring control room -- the Pattern Research For Institutional Social Media (PRISM) analytics -- at its base in Arakkonam near Chennai.
New Delhi: Social media trends and data analytics will be used for the first time in ensuring and monitoring the security at the country's most vital assets such as airports and nuclear and aerospace installations.
A special team of CISF agents has been trained with the job of tracking social media trends, news, reports and indicators across various platforms, collate them and dish them out as vital pieces of "actionable intelligence" to various airports and other vital units.
Platforms like Twitter, Facebook, YouTube and Flickr will be used by the paramilitary force to check any suspicious activity against the assets it guards.
The platform, developed by IIT Delhi, is used by the Intelligence Bureau (IB) and the Mumbai police to keep a check on security issues.
"We are doing this on an experimental basis. The PRISM control room is based in the southern part of the country as we have a sizeable number of units that have our armed security cover in that part. Based on the experiences, this smart centre will be further bolstered," CISF Director General OP Singh told the Press Trust of India.
He said that a special team of his men and women will keep a "track of social media trends" with the sole view of keeping their units such as airports, aerospace stations and nuclear bases safe.
"This is completely in-house. We intend to link it to our WAR (web analytics and resolution) room that is already operational and based in Delhi," Director General Singh said.
"The digital chatter in the world of social media is a great source for intelligence collection and timely action.
Public sentiment towards the force, behavioural pattern and predictable actions can be a great help to take timely action and avoid any mishap," a senior CISF officer said.
A red flag would be raised, he said, in the case of any posts that indicate a threat towards the units covered by the CISF or any potential harm that a force personnel would inflict upon self or others.
"The potential of this unique platform would be to avert even suicides in the force, to an extent as any sort of abnormal behaviour or posts would be an indicator for action to be taken.
"This would be done through features like sentiment analysis in-built in the software itself," the official said.
The 1.80 lakh personnel-strong CISF is tasked to secure 59 airports and other vital installations under the command of the Union home ministry.

"Just a recipe I threw together while entertaining my 6-month-old on a soccer night for my older kiddos when we had limited time. This is an alternative to fast food on busy hectic nights. I prechopped my veggies during nap time, so all I had to do was add them to the Instant Pot®! Garnish with green onions, Cheddar cheese, and bacon."
Turn on a multi-cooker (such as Instant Pot(R)) and select the Saute function. Add olive oil, onion, and garlic; cook until browned, about 3 minutes. Add cauliflower, green bell pepper, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Pour in chicken stock; close and lock the lid. Select Soup function; set timer for 15 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.
Release pressure carefully using the quick-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, about 5 minutes. Unlock and remove lid. Add Cheddar cheese, half-and-half, turkey bacon, Dijon mustard, and hot sauce. Reselect Saute function; cook until bubbly, about 5 minutes.
This simple veggie soup tastes rich and creamy, but it's completely dairy-free.
If using bacon instead of cooked turkey bacon, saute with the onion in step 1.
You can use gluten-free flour or cornstarch for a thicker soup (about 1 tablespoon dissolved in a small amount of water or 1/4 cup cold chicken stock), but this would not be keto friendly.
The Dijon mustard gave it a weird taste, too twangy also the cauliflower was a little lumpy may need to puree it for better texture.
I made mine on the stove instead of using the Instapot.
Cooked on the stovetop..blended with a hand mixer before adding the half & half cream, also I used Tex Mex shredded cheese which gave it a nice kick !

10 charged in alleged PennDOT overbilling scheme
Ten people are charged in connection with a scheme to overbill PennDOT $1.2 million, according to the state attorney general's office.
PUBLISHED: December 17, 2014 at 7:33 p.m. | UPDATED: August 19, 2021 at 2:30 a.m.
HARRISBURG >> The state attorney general's office has charged 10 people in connection with a $1.2 million scheme to overbill PennDOT.
The alleged conspiracy involves two former managers in the PennDOT's District 6 who allegedly took kickbacks from highway inspectors in exchange for turning a blind eye to fraudulent time sheets and mileage reports.
The charges are the result of a statewide grand jury investigation.
"The citizens of Pennsylvania expect state employees and contractors to perform the work they are paid to do," Pennsylvania Attorney General Kathleen Kane said. "Those who accept kickbacks and falsify documents are stealing from the taxpayers. My office will continue to uncover and diligently pursue public corruption across the commonwealth."
The investigation began in March 2013 after Kane's office obtained evidence of widespread abuse within the Highway Occupation Permit (HOP) Program in District 6, which comprises Philadelphia, Delaware, Montgomery, Chester and Bucks counties.
HOP permits must be obtained from PennDOT for construction and any other encroachment on interstates, U.S. routes and state highways. To protect the public and Pennsylvania's highway infrastructure, PennDOT pays inspectors, directly and through outside firms, to ensure permit holders comply with applicable laws, regulations and permit conditions.
The presentment details how a pattern of nepotism and cronyism resulted in many of the defendants being hired by both PennDOT District 6 and two regional consulting firms, Construction Methods and Coordination Inc. (CMC) and CZOP Spector Inc. (CZOP), which allowed the conspiracy to continue and flourish.
According to the presentment, the inspectors were paid more than $500,000 they did not earn, and CMC and CZOP were paid more than $700,000 for its employees' unearned overtime.
In July the AG's office arrested PennDOT contractor, Thanh Nguyen for allegedly stealing at least $3.6 million by submitting false invoices and bribing CZOP inspector Robert Slamon, who was also charged.
"Our ongoing investigation of PennDOT District 6 has exposed nearly $5 million in fraud in Philadelphia and the surrounding counties," Kane said. "I urge anyone with information regarding corruption at District 6 or any other Commonwealth entity to contact my office immediately."
The two managers at the center of the conspiracy, former Assistant District 6 Permits Manager Alex Morrone and former Philadelphia County Permit Manager William Rosetti, facilitated the fraud and theft by taking routine kickbacks from inspectors, and encouraging and facilitating them to falsify their records to be paid for unearned wages and reimbursements, according to the presentment.
Further, Morrone allegedly paid some inspectors to do home improvements at his residence and his mother's home while they were billing the taxpayers for work. Rosetti also is charged with allegedly billing for and receiving payment for hours that he did not work.
The presentment provides specific examples of the corrupt scheme's depth and breadth:
PennDOT inspector Frank DiMichele allegedly was completely unqualified for his position and was instructed to lie on his resume by a childhood friend at District 6.
CMC inspector John Cavanaugh, who also was unqualified for the work, was allegedly instructed by Rosetti to add two hours of overtime every day to his timesheet and give between $140 and $150 per pay period as a "street tax" for it.
CZOP inspector Grosso, Rosetti's brother-in-law with no construction experience, was hired after Rosetti allegedly instructed him on how to lie on his resume. Grosso also paid Morrone between $120 and $140 per week for "protection" in exchange for allowing him to add approximately three hours of overtime per week to his time sheet and lie about mileage earned.
CMC inspectors Joseph DeSimone and John LaSpada allegedly provided kickbacks to Morrone to overlook their fraudulent overbilling and rarely visited job sites where they claimed to inspect.
DeSimone also allegedly billed eight hours for work he did not perform at a construction site that was shut down due to a state of emergency.
CZOP inspector Chris Lauch allegedly paid Rosetti $100 a week to ignore bogus timesheets and was laid off after falling behind in kickbacks to Rosetti, and
CZOP inspector David Betzner was provided pre-signed blank timesheets by Rosetti at the instruction of Morrone. He improperly billed and was paid $53,000 for hours and mileage for inspection work at a single job site that workers said he never visited.
The defendants will be prosecuted in Montgomery County by Chief Deputy Attorney General Erik Olsen.

You can purchase my latest project Shadows of Adam from the Something Classic website or on Steam
To be clear, this is a much simpler, more light-hearted romp than The Way. More details are available on the website and on Steam.
Shadows of Adam Kickstarter has launched! If you'd like to support me on my current project check it out!
I'm currently working as a writer and level-designer on Shadows of Adam, an up-and-coming indie game. Check us out on twitter: https://twitter.com/somethingclassc and on our website: http://www.somethingclassic.net.
I'm currently working part-time as a writer on two indie games.
The first is a retro RPG. I've completed the majority of the writing work and production is proceeding. There should be an official website to showcase the project before the end of the year. I will post a link when it's up.
I can't really say much about the second game as I've signed a non-disclosure agreement. It's in pre-production and the development team is still not wholly formed.
My brother has published two novels that are available on itunes. Check them out!
Book 1 - Rise of Innocents
Book 2 - Test of Innocents
I was shocked today when someone e-mailed me asking for an instruction manual to The Way. I have posted a more detailed manual to the downloads section.
On another note, I really need to work harder at getting my novel published.

Anne Greene here. On July 14th I blogged about nobles living inside a Scottish Castle. If you missed my blog and are interested, go to the archives.
The nobles living in the castle had a luxurious and responsible lifestyle. Life for the servants was drastically different. As nobility had a hierarchy level, so did the servants.
The Steward held complete charge of the entire household. He gave orders to the cooks, the musicians and storytellers, as well as to the servants of the lord and the ladies in waiting. Under the Steward, these upper level servants were then in charge of other servants, like bakers, gardeners, tailors, washerwomen, carpenters and undercooks. If the lord were away, then the Steward took charge of the castle. He also recorded the rent that people living on castle land paid. The Steward was often a member of the noble family. Can you imagine how much the Laird of the Castle trusted him?
The Marshal organized the groomsman who looked after the horses, the blacksmiths and the farriers who shoed the horses. The Marshal also ordered the carters who made and drove the carts, the boatmen and the stable boys. The Marshal organized sending messages to other people, maybe even to the King. If the lord wanted to go hunting, the Marshal organized the hunt.
The Constable, also known as the Keeper, controlled castle security, weapons and the gunners, the archers and the men-at-arms who defended the castle. He organized the porters who guarded every door and the bodyguards, who guarded important members of the family. Most castles had a prison and the Constable oversaw the jailers.
The Steward, the Keeper, the Chaplain and the Marshal had their own rooms in the castle. All the other servants found space where they could, many sleeping on the floor of the hall or in the kitchen for warmth. There might be a separate dining area for the servants; otherwise they ate where they worked.
Most of the servants in the castle were men. The lady of the castle had her personal servants, high-born women who were known as her ladies-in-waiting. Women also worked as washerwomen, alewives who brewed beer, and nurses who looked after any of the lord's young children.
Children also worked in a castle. In the kitchen the cook always needed water carrying from the well. A small boy, known as the turnbrochie, sat by the fire to turn the metal spits of roasting meat. Children carried messages from one noble to another.
The Laird of the Castle spent much time travelling, meeting with other members of the nobility, attending parliament, and meeting with the king or queen. When he travelled, many of his servants went with him. Only a few remained in the castle with the lady to attend to any local business.
Read about the children in Castle Drummond in my book Marriage By Arrangement to be available December 6, 2013. Would you have liked to have grown up living in or near a Scottish castle? Would you have liked for your children to be subject to the whims of a noble?
Leave your answer and your email for a chance to win an autographed copy of one of my Scottish Trilogy Books.
Visit here with Anne the 14th day of every month.
Very interesting post! I had no idea there were so many people that worked in a castle. I don't think I would have liked living in one, or had my children subject to the whims of a noble. Doesn't sound like fun. I would love to win a copy of your book!
Thanks for your comment, Sally. You're in the running!
While I wouldn't like castle living for me or my children, I do find it fascinating to read about! Thank you for sharing such interesting information and beautiful pictures. Would love to win!
I'd still love to live inside a castle. Be the daughter of the Lord, of course! Thanks for your comment, Britney!
It's hard to imagine growing up in a castle, or with a lot of servants. It's so foreign from our modern day world. Today people might have someone come in and clean once a week or something like that. The very wealthy might have a cook and a driver but the whole servant class is a bit foreign.
If I had a choice, I'd have a cook!!! Thanks for your comment, Patty. You're name is in the hat!
I would not want to live in a castle or have my children work there. I never thought that any of the servants would sleep on the floor. It is interesting history and I love to read about it.
Thanks for your comments, Barbara. It's nice to see you here. You're name is in the hat!
Vary interesting post. I enjoyed learning some new information. Living in or growing up in a castle sounds so romantic and wonderful, but in reality, I don't think that was the case. I don't think life was very fair for women or children. I think God's timing was best for me to live in the modern age in which we live. I love to live vicariously through the wonderful characters that authors bring to life in historical novels.
Thanks for your thoughtful comment, Kay. Even though life wasn't fair for women living inside the castle, the daughter of the Lord found ways to make life interesting. Nice to hear from you.
Yep, pretty daughters were a worry. Always have been. Always will be. Maybe even more so today than back then! We love our children and want the best for them. Nice to see you here, Tamara!
Hi Eliza, Good to see you again! I would love to time travel and go back ... just for a little while I'm sure. Unless I fell in love while back there. Then I just might stay!!!
No, I don't think I would want to have my family subjected to that. I don't like the thought of your importance depending on to whom you were born to. Great post, it proves that there were many people needed to run a castle!
Thanks, Susan, and I have to agree. It's so much better these days when a person can make their own mark on the world. But living in the castle really was a boon for those early people. Good to see you here!
I can't imagine sleeping on the cold, hard floor of a castle. Life in one must have been hard for most of the people. Interesting post.
HI Vickie! Even though they slept on the floor, life could have had some great moments! They still fell in love. Thanks for coming by!
I think for all the 'romance' of a castle, the harsh realities of life would be a detriment to me wanting to live there--especially having children! Thanks for the opportunity to win a book--yours sounds intriguing!
Thanks, Karen. I think harsh reality back then was just normal day to day living. I think even with the conditions of their lives, people still have time to fall in love and had some joy in life. You name is in the hat.
CONGRATULATIONS BRITNEY ADAMS, your name was drawn out of the hat, and you won a copy of Masquerade Marriage. I know you will enjoy it!

Agents Fee Report Released
U's spend £11,296 in 2011/12.
The latest publication of spending on agents' fees by Football League clubs has revealed that clubs committed a total of £21.7m during the 2011/12 season.
Championship clubs accounted for £18.7m of this total, with League 1 and League 2 clubs spending £1.8m and £0.9m respectively. Clubs committed to pay agents in 702 (22%) of the 3,144 player transactions that took place.
Five clubs did not spend any money on agents' fees during 2011/12 (Hartlepool United, Accrington Stanley, AFC Wimbledon, Barnet and Crewe Alexandra) while a further 22 clubs spent less than £25,000.
The U's were one of those 22 clubs, spending £11,296 in the period mentioned - the sixth lowest in League One.
In announcing the figures Football League Chairman, Greg Clarke, said: " "In fact, almost a fifth of the overall figure was spent by one club alone.
While £21m is a lot of money leaving the game, it should also be noted that a considerable amount of this total has been spent by a small number of clubs.
"Where such spending forms part of a sustainable business plan it shouldn't be of great concern and supporters should be encouraged to see our clubs committing themselves to the new Financial Fair Play regulations that will take effect across all three divisions in the new season.
"In time, these rules will require clubs to be more circumspect with regard to their spending and may help reduce the costs incurred in this area."


The final game of the League vs Rathmore will take place on Saturday at 2:30pm in The Track.
Laune Rangers is hosting this year's Mid-Kerry Scór na nÓg final in the CYMS on Friday 11th November at 7.30pm.
Best of luck to the young people who will be representing our Club on the night in the Rince Fóirne, Solo Singing, Instrumental Music, Recitation, Ballad Group and Quiz competitions.
Come out and support our competitors. We know they will do Laune Rangers proud.


The outlawed Irish Republican Army said Friday that a British soldier's wife was shot and killed in the mistaken belief that she was a member of the British armed forces.
Thursday night's slaying was the third IRA attack in two weeks but the first killing of a woman civilian in years of IRA attacks on British forces in West Germany.
The IRA on Friday acknowledged the killing. The Irish Republican Press Center in Dublin said she was shot "in the belief that she was a member of the British army garrison at Dortmund."
A British Army spokeswoman identified the dead woman as Heidi Hazell, a West German citizen who had been married for two years and had no children.
"There is a mood of anger here that our families, not just soldiers, can no longer go about their daily business normally," a British army spokeswoman told the Reuters news agency by telephone from the Moenchengladbach headquarters of the British Army of the Rhine.
Hazell was sitting in her parked car in Unna, near the Ruhr industrial city of Dortmund, when a man dressed in British army fatigues approached and fired 14 rounds at her through the window, a prosecutor's spokesman said.
He said the weapon was a Soviet-made Kalashnikov submachine gun. The gunman escaped in a car driven by an accomplice, he said.
The IRA is waging an underground war to oust British troops from Northern Ireland and join the province to the Irish republic.


This is where you will post what you would like to see people offer.
This is NOT where you post items you are trading or items on your trade list.
Would love to see one of these in good shape, shipped to Europe.
If I had my druthers I'd go for the digest sized version, but... beggars and choosers.
I might also go on anything Deadlands that I don't own... either the old edition or the new (but not the D20 version).
Preferably several of these in a bundle. I'm starting to run some tournaments (what, it's not the 70s any more?) and would love to give these a shot.
DSA stuff doesn't show up much in these trades, but I know some of you have piles gathering dust at the back of closets.
Preferably things from this millennium, preferably bundled, but anything I don't have would be of interest.
This is a wish list, right?
I'd love to see this here, plus any of its supplements.
In fact anything Aces & Eights: Shattered Frontier would make me look.
Bonus points for Pegasus products.
This is a whim... I like the look of the stuff Troll Lord puts out for the game, but I could change my mind tomorrow.
I would certainly be attracted to anything along these lines.
I'd also be interested in any map products from location maps, battle maps, regional maps... anything not sci-fi.
I'd look at anything that I didn't own.
I'd swoon for anything that I didn't have for 5th Edition (even updated books I do own)... although I don't expect them to be listed.
I'll be crass (again). Gift certificates work wonders in these math trades.
I guess if I trade for it, it doesn't go against my blood feud.
Even if it's some Campaign setting book you thought sucked and no one would want.

Longest Losing Streak Since 1992

The offense is starting to show life and the bullpen has been solid lately. Instead of Dave Roberts worrying about why fans are booing Pedro Baez. Roberts needs to get his team to get one win. In this series the Dodgers had their best three pitchers starting in this series and haven't gotten a win.
Alex Wood took on Chad Bettis of the Rockies in this the third game of the four game series. The top of the 2nd the Rockies got it going. Dodger killer Gerardo Parra hit a double. Trevor Story then hit a two run shot. Charlie Blackmon then singled in a run followed by Nolan Arenado singling in a run and the score was 4-0. Once again the Dodgers starting staff has the Dodgers behind the 8 ball.
In the bottom of the fourth, Chris Taylor ended up on second base due to an error by the Rockies. Justin Turner then singled him in. Cody Bellinger then hit a double. Yasiel Puig then hit a double to score two runs to make the score 4-3. In the top of the fifth with the Dodgers needing Alex Wood to put up a zero. He starts the inning by giving up a single to Mark Reynolds. Trevor Story then doubled him in to make the score 5-3.
In the bottom half Andre Ethier came up and hit a pinch-hit home run. Maybe he can play because Joc Pederson, and Curtis Granderson haven't been doing anything. Chris Taylor ended up on second. Turner and Bellinger couldn't get him in. In the bottom of the sixth, Logan Forsythe hit a double but Joc Pederson left him stranded.
In the ninth inning, Kenley Jansen came in and gave up a double to Arenado. The Dodger killer then doubled him in and the Rockies led 6-4. Chris Taylor misplayed a ball in the outfield. In the bottom of the ninth, Logan Forsythe hit a solo shot to bring the Dodgers within one. Pederson and and Granderson came up and predictably made two outs. The Dodgers would lose 6-5.
Going forward Austin Barnes should play catcher instead of Grandal who is in a horrid slump. Hopefully Forsythe can get going or Taylor could take his spot at second base. For now Taylor can stay in the outfield. I would like to see Ethier in the outfield instead of Granderson. So Rich Hill will be on the mound tomorrow to try and salvage a game.

Yueh_Fei says:
So we just lost to the Rockies, who came into our home field in a huge slump, and we get swept, all while using our top 3 starters.
We lose every game in different fashion. We just seems to find new ways to lose.
I am calling a bottom here. Forget the record. We are an absolute embarrassment. Tomorrow the blogs will blog, but it's going to take everyone on the team pulling together to do this. Let's see how we do on the road against one of the best teams in the league, and they are not in a slump by the way. If we don't bring it, we're going to get hammered.
YF, not swept yet. Tomorrow is game 4.
I believe this is my 3rd year of complaining that Grandal slumps big time every year. I had thought he had gotten over the hump when he held his avg to about .275 earlier this year. This is evidently the same problem he has had since becoming a Dodger, he is not consistent.
So, I am with Moya. Play Barnes and let him have the job to lose. He's been very good this year and see no reason to NOT play him. He can platoon with Forsythe at 2b, also.
Bench Granderson permanently. Joc is fatally flawed, probably Hernandez, too. Give the LF position to Ethier. Do you all remember that he used to be one of the main contributors for the Dodgers? That homer last night reminded me.
Hill & Co. will win tomorrow!
One day early. Still a sweep. No fight today.
Oh, put Darvish in the bull pen. It is the perfect place for him to work out what he needs to work out, if he can work it out. Way better than Stripling.
Go with this 5 man rotation until they get themselves together. Let Yu prove himself before giving him another start.
I can't see a pitcher like Darvish in the bullpen.
Because he has had command problems at times when he has been learning to make this adjustment, be second nature.
The last thing you want a pitcher from the pen to do when they come into a game, is walk the hitters.
The pitchers in the pen, pitching relief, must come into a game, with their good command or they will end up giving away runs, or the game.
I think we give Darvish one more start, and if he doesn't pitch well, the Dodgers should let him pitch like he has, all year!
I don't think trying to make an adjustment with a pitcher, with a little over a month to go, was, or is, a good idea, especially since Darvish pitched the best in his first start, before they suggested that he should try to make this adjustment.
I do agree that Grandal looks like he is falling apart, on both defense and offense, although last night he seemed ok on defense.
I just don't understand why Roberts is hitting him more towards the top of the line up, I think Grandal needs to be moved down in the order.
Because he strikes out to much, when runners are on base, or in scoring position.
Bottom line, Barnes needs to be in this line up, whether it is, as a catcher, or at second base, especially since the offense has been struggling, although they were better last night!
Michael N. Norris says:
There is nothing we can say that will make this feel any better. I have seen Dodger losing streaks, but this is awful. They have done nothing for the last two weeks but stink up the joint, and the problem is it is not just one thing that has gone south, it is the whole enchilada. Starters putting the offense behind early, hitters not moving runners over, not scoring when runners are in scoring position with less than two outs. Except for the blow out on Monday and the Kershaw meltdown on Friday, they could have been 4-2 on this home stand instead of 0-6. In your home park and you get your ass handed to you? I am not very optimistic that they will be better once the playoffs start. As it is, their lead for home field is down to 5 with 21 to play. Not good sports fans…..at least SC kicked Stanford's ass.
I wish I would have saw the USC game, I don't know if it was on for me, because my network hasn't carried all the PAC 12 games.
At least our four top hitters, looked a little more alive, and looked better on offense last night.
Roberts needs to move Grandal down in the order, because right now, he is a strike out machine, especially when runners are on base.
And with the offense struggling, Roberts can't have a 300 hitter, sitting on the bench!
Barnes is hitting to well to be sitting on the bench, and he should be getting more then just one at bat a game.
In the Times, it said that Barnes was going to start playing more, so I hope that is true.
He is better on defense and offense right now, then Grandal is, and maybe that is part of the reason, that Grandal seems to be falling apart, he hears Barnes steps coming, after his job.
I think our top five hitters, are only going to get better, once they gel together again, especially with Puig hitting fifth.
I think Taylor desperately needs to slow the game down, especially in his at bats, because he isn't being patient, like he was, earlier in the season.
I don't know for sure that he is over swinging, because he has always swung hard, but he needs to just go up there, and let the pitcher pitch to him, and maybe once, just try to get on, with a walk.
The hitters at the back of our line up, are just being easy outs, although Forsythe did hit a double and a HR last night, but I would have to see more, before I believe he will hit.
I'm like Michael. I don't know what to say.
OH well, let's hope/wish/dream that today's the day to break out of this streak. Both UCLA and USC have won 2 games since the Dodgers last won
Hang in there, at least last night, our top five guys looked more alive, and better on offense!
I hope this is our day too!
At least the Dbacks lost two in a row, against the Padres!
Their fans are getting a little cocky, and their team was on a bad note, earlier in the second half, almost like what our team is doing now, so their winning ways, could change as quickly as our's did!
That is why I don't like to tempt fate!
True Blue, Thru n Thru says:
I've been trying to tell you all, Mo has packed up and left the building. Mo has nothing to do with "the top five guys looking more alive or whatever. It all about this invisible hand that intercedes and not only gets the top five guys looking more alive, it gets a whole harmonious thing active and guys that don't usually produce, suddenly and miraculously achieving and contributing. We saw Old Mo for a few months, however some strange sense of achievement settled in and Old Mo was crowded out and he packed up and moved on. Once a guest is crowded out it is very difficult to get him to come back for another visit for a while.
Sorry folks, but this is going to be very very difficult. Maybe Old Mo will show up in October but I highly doubt it.
I do believe that the universe does even out things, and maybe we were not a team that should be that many games over 500.
But we are also not this team, that is having trouble just winning one game, either.
There has been a ten game evening out in sorts, so I do expect us to turn this around very soon!
I never thought they were as good as they seemed , when they were winning all of those games, but I also don't think they are is bad, as they have looked, in that last couple weeks, either.
I didn't expect you to get it, MJ, I like you but you just don't have a grasp of what I am saying. I've been there done that, unless you have experienced it, it will be a blind spot. I'm sure there are many that know exactly what I am saying. Badger would be totally down with what I am saying, trust me.
I have been an underdog all my life, and I know what momentum is.
Your statements prove otherwise, sorry you don't get it.
Bluto says:
Momentum is like chemistry.
It's the result of a 3-game win streak.
Let's not go overboard.
Nope, try again Brutus
Still best team in MLB by 5 games
That means nothing, it's who wins the last game of the season that counts.
1st three words you wrote are invalidated by those that follow. It's definitely a good thing to be the best team.
But, it's nice to see you contributing to the discussion and not making homophobic statements or moronic insults.
More of this, please.
That is ludicrous. The Indians right now are the best team in baseball period. The only history the Dodgers are making right now is the most momentous EL FOLDO in baseball history. They will probably make the playoffs, but they are losing home field day by day and they are Crawling to the finish line. Wonder how the FAZOPHILES feel about all that depth now. Funny, they leave runners all over the yard, and the only run is the first MLB homer for rookie Alex Verdugo. Roberts has lost this team.
seem to me the only new addition was taylor that has done any good..the rest suck..why do you think teams get rid of players..they are on the down side.
Taylor has been good, but he has chose the worst time to go into a slump. Was hitting .310 a week ago and now is down to .298.
Jerry, you forgot Bellinger. His impact was sizable. Taylor, too. Turner, who played way above his pay grade and anyone's expectation all year has been phenomenal, but he can't carry a team. Like someone else said, he is not an RBI guy. Gonzalez has been the RBI guy for the Dodgers consistently. Bellinger has taken up that role now that Gonzalez is out of the picture. The rest of the RBI's were contributed by Seager, Grandal, and Pederson, 2 of them have fallen off the rails.
IMO, the Dodgers will need a rebuild at a few positions, but I'm not sure FAZ can do it. They have shown ineptitude putting a consistent team together. The other teams in the division were never this good (Arizona/Colorado) before. The Giants who dominated us, are no longer the problem. So, I think we can continue to see ups and downs with the Dodgers because of the FO and their philosophy. Their best farm reliever, Buehler, was destroyed tonight.
Turner tied with Agone for the most RBIs, on the team last year.
But if this continues and Agone feels better tomorrow, I am not against having his bat in the line up.
And Joc has not hit in more runs, then Kike has this year, and Joc has struggled most of the year.
And that is why he was sent down!
And Joc only hit 150 at AAA.
Didn't realize Turner tied Agone last season. My point was Agone has always been the rbi guy on the Dodgers and before that, Boston. He had 9 years consecutively of 99+ rbi's. No Dodger has approached that. Perhaps Turner will become our major producer, but we certainly have other players that are not producing at this stage of their careers, Joc & Kike being two of them.
Artieboy says:
Seager's inability to turn the DP in the 5th and Taylor misplaying Parra's double in the 9th were the key plays. I know people love Corey at SS, but not me. I think he is a lazy SS. But CF is a bigger concern. Who said Taylor is a better CF than Joc? If it's Roberts can't argue with him, given he played the position. But that is numerous times where Taylor has misplayed a ball in CF.
Last night felt like a playoff game. Great fighting spirit, but small defensive miscues (they were not marked as errors) led to two runs which cost us the game. FAZ are fine with lesser defense as long as the bats work. It does work over a long season but in a small series those little mistakes will sink you. It did last night.
Artieboy
I love you, but Taylor hadn't played center in quite a while, because Joc was playing center up until, he was moved down.
And Taylor was playing shortstop, while Corey was out, in these last few weeks.
And last night, was Taylor's first night back, playing center, give him some time.
Joc has been playing in the outfield, his entire career, and he was also playing in the outfield, while he was down in AAA.
And in the game before, last night's game, Joc couldn't make a catch, that most centerfielders, would have easily caught, and Roberts acknowledged that, after that game.
And Joc has misplayed at least three balls, that have been hit right at him this year, because his first step was up, and these balls, flew over his head.
Taylor might make mistakes, but he can get to balls in the gaps, and balls hit in front of him, better then Joc can.
And Joc has no speed, to make up for his mistakes.
And when Taylor was playing center everyday, he played center well.
Both Taylor and Joc has their strengths, but Joc is just not the same defensive centerfielder, he once was.
And I think it is just because he has put on some weight, and I think Joc's weight gain, has cost Joc, a step or two.
Joc is better at going back on balls, then Taylor is, but there are more balls, hit into the gaps, and hit in front of outfielders, then hit over their heads, and that is where Taylor's strength is.
Quit making excuses MJ, he misplayed the ball. You were quick to jump on Joc for a ball he had no chance to catch and now you are defending the un-defendable.
There is a big difference when a player has played only one position their entire career, and doesn't make a catch when they should, then a player, who has only played there, this year.
And Roberts also said Joc should have made that catch!
And I think he knows a little more then you do, about playing in the outfield!
And it was obvious that Joc should have made that catch, and that is why he was in leftfield, in the next game.
And if anyone is trying to make an excuse, it is only you!
Because Joc is one of your favorite players, and that is why you said, he couldn't have caught that ball!
Anyone would expect more from a player, that has played a position, their entire career, like Joc has!
This is the first year that Taylor, has ever played in the outfield!
And he is better in center then Joc is, but he will still make mistakes, but he can cover much more ground then Joc can, and that is obvious too.
Joc is not one of my favorite players, I have no favorites. And Roberts is nuts. I watched that replay over and over. Joc had no chance of getting it. Taylor just flat blew the play. His entire career consists of 2.5 major league seasons. whoopee. I care less that this is the first year Taylor has played CF. If you make an error it is on you. Period. He has been out there enough this year to make the routine plays. There was nothing routine about the ball that Joc dived for. We agree to disagree. You defended something that cannot be defended. Your opinion is noted, and discarded because you are clueless.
this is so stupid ..puig is sitting out today ..he is hitting better then most on this team..i dont think roberts has a clue on how to get out of this slump, and chase should be in the line up..
They are headed for the most embarrassing meltdown in sports history. They will have a 4 game lead in the home field race after this disaster today. No clutch hitting, a weak lineup…What the hell is Roberts thinking??? Puig pinch hitting against a lefty? Forsythe starting against a RHP when he can't hit them period. Yeah he hit a meaningless HR last night, but this team right now is spiraling out of control.
How can Roberts continue to play Granderson who is hitting 109 since he joined this team, and Forsythe who is hittting 228 overall, and hitting below 200 against righties, when Forsythe hasn't done a thing all year.
And why is even Joc getting a chance, after hitting 150 at AAA.
And Roberts bats for Ethier, after Ethier has two hits, but he doesn't bat for Forsythe or Granderson, and I know Ethier is not good against lefties, but this just doesn't make sense.
Roberts is not going with his best line up,, and that is why it is hard to take these losses!
If they were going with their best line up, and losing,, that would be one thing, but the best line up, isn't in the games.
This whole thing is just insane. They have totally forgotten how to play GOOD baseball and it has infected the entire team. As for Roberts, I have no clue why he is running those guys out there night after night. But Granderson was their BIG offensive pick up. This is worse than Hill-Reddick.
It's amazing how far Granderson has fallen. No one would have thought that this guy would be so ineffective. I can't blame FAZ for giving him a try. Nor for trying Yu. Do we re-sign Yu in the offseason? Would you be willing to pay at least $11M for him?
NO…..and he will get a lot more than 11 mil a year.

The Big Book is in the public domain. Therefore when Amazon sells it Amazon gets the money not World Services.
After much study and research I have concluded this article I found online is the best one on the topic of The Big Book, it's profits, and it's copyright laws. Editions One & Two are in the public domain. That's why Amazon and other book manufacturers are selling it at full profit. Meaning AA gets nothing from the sales. There are a few theories as to why AA failed to renew it's copyrights. Read the article.
Is the Big Book Shrinking?
The Big Book remains the place to find AA's program of recovery. But thanks to competing publishers and free apps, literature revenues are falling. Is there anything World Services can do?
AA literature is already widely available on the web. This includes the AA website's links to the current edition of Alcoholics Anonymous and Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions. But other vendors also publish editions of the Big Book online, downloadable for free or for a nominal charge. At this point, AAWS has already lost considerable business to these other publishers. Many would ask, "Why is AA allowing this?" The answer: AA has no legal recourse to stop it.
Individual AA members must choose whom to pay for the Big Book, if they choose to pay at all.
The first edition of Alcoholics Anonymous has been public domain since 1967, when AA failed to renew its copyright on the text. AA also failed to renew the copyright on the second edition, causing it to lapse in 1983. In both cases, most sources say that AAWS failed to act simply because of a lack of understanding of the applicable copyright laws.
Of course, other theories have been proposed. Some suggest that AA let the copyright lapse to dodge any liability resulting from the fact that Bill Wilson claimed he was the only author at the time the Big Book was first copyrighted. (Other people are known to have written portions of the book, including "To Employers" and "The Doctor's Opinion," for example.) Moving these works into public domain then re-copyrighting the third edition and not claiming that Bill Wilson was the only author would prevent anyone from suing AA over the original copyright. These same sources add that AA's General Service Office (GSO) claimed to misunderstood the law in order to hide its true motives. This theory needs to be qualified by saying that these sources seem to have a bone to pick with AA in general. They present evidence to support their claims; however, it is very difficult to confirm its veracity, due to the lack of documentation available to the public from the AA's service structures.
Whatever its reasons, this apparent oversight has caused a considerable headache for AAWS and the GSO as a whole, because a large part of their budget comes from literature sales. The projected net income from sales for the year of 2013 was $7,782,800. This figure represents profits after subtracting all costs for royalties, manufacturing and shipping. This money was expected to cover 54% of GSO's expenses for 2013. The 2013 gross income was budgeted at $95,000 less than 2012—showing a decline in sales, though not a steep one. GSO hoped to compensate by reducing production and distribution costs in order to increase the profit margin.
I validated the claims of this article by researching all day. Here are some of the verifications.

NEXTV CEO AFRICA DIGITAL MAGAZINE 2018
Inview middleware also offers an efficient way for governments to collect a TV Licence or Digital Access fee
Inview is very active in the DSO project in Nigeria, can you please tell us where the project stands as of now?
Digital Terrestrial Television launched successfully in Kaduna, Ilorin, Enugu, and Osogbo during the last year, which with earlier launches in Jos, the capital of Plateau State, and the nation's federal capital, Abuja in the Federal Capital Territory brings the total number of States with digital television to six. The switchover will be complete once digital television has been rolled out across all 36 states of Nigeria and after the analogue signals have been switched off. Inview Technology are proud to be supporting Nigeria's National Broadcasting Commission and many other stakeholders in planning, preparing and implementing this incredibly important project for the nation. One which will position Nigeria as a leading digital economy in Africa and yield a digital dividend for the government.
What are the challenges faced by Inview for the Nigerian DSO project?
Switching to digital television is a complex process. Every country is different, and the approach adopted must be appropriate for the local industry, regulatory framework, customs and traditions. Working with local partners is essential to this and we are proud that our involvement in the digital switchover in Nigeria is through a Nigerian company, staffed by Nigerians, and with a Nigerian Chief Executive. Digital switchover yields many benefits. New jobs. And a digital dividend. It can also be expensive upfront to get things moving. The value of the Naira fell dramatically after the project started, this brought many challenges. We continue to work tirelessly with our Nigerian partners to explore options for funding the process, keeping it on track so that momentum can build which in time which will ease the financial burden. Great credit must be given to the Minister and the National Broadcasting Commission for their continuing and steadfast commitment to the process, and their dedication to working with all stakeholders to keep things on track. We look forward to continuing to support them as the switchover goes from strength to strength across the nation.
What are the advantages of the middleware used by Inview for Nigeria?
In addition to receiving up to 30 free TV channels with digital quality picture and sound, Inview's software, integrated on all of the set-top boxes for the Nigerian Digital Switchover, offers an EPG and a wide range of interactive services including advertising – integrated directly into the user interface through banners and full screen adverts/ messages, push video on demand, and a range of broadcasting applications such as news, public service information and audience measurement services. With regard to what is planned for the future, customers will be offered the option to pay for additional channels and services and all the of set top boxes will be future proofed and upgradeable in the field to add connected services when the Nigerian infrastructure can support them. The Inview middleware also offers an efficient way for governments to collect a TV Licence or Digital Access fee which can support investment in the digital economy.
Apart from Nigeria, how is Inview activities going on the African continent?
We are in advanced discussions with a few African countries and work is in progress with several others. In September 2017, we were proud to announce that Inview is to provide middleware for the Ethiopian digital switchover and we are working hard now with government bodies and other stakeholders to prepare for the launch of digital TV in Ethiopia.
The African broadcast industry is booming with the arrival of DTT and OTT, 1. what are according to you the challenges of working with countries where the ARPU is low?
It would make sense for other countries to replicate similar systems to Nigeria so that they can benefit from our flexible cloud infrastructure, which enables a high level of functionality but keeps set- top box prices down, as well as benefit from our experience of helping drive switchover in the 7th largest country in the world.

Evolution of the cordilleran foreland basin system in northwestern montana, U.S.A.
Facundo Fuentes, Peter G. DeCelles, Kurt N. Constenius, George E. Gehrels
New lithostratigraphic and chronostratigraphic, geochronologic, and sedimentary petrologic data illuminate the history of development of the North American Cordilleran foreland basin system and adjacent thrust belt from Middle Jurassic through Eocene time in northwestern Montana. The oldest deposits in the foreland basin system consist of relatively thin, regionally tabular deposits of the marine Ellis Group and fluvial-estuarine Morrison Formation, which accumulated during Bajocian to Kimmeridgian time. U-Pb ages of detrital zircons and sandstone modal petrographic data indicate that by ca. 170 Ma, miogeoclinal strata were being deformed and eroded in hinterland regions. Sandstones of the Swift and Morrison Formations contain detrital zircons derived from the Intermontane belt. The Jurassic deposits probably accumulated in the distal, back-bulge depozone of an early foreland basin, as suggested by the slow rates of tectonic subsidence and tabular geometry. A regional unconformity separates the Jurassic strata from late Barremian(?) foredeep deposits. This unconformity possibly resulted as a combined effect of forebulge migration, decreased dynamic subsidence, and eustatic sea-level fall. The late Barremian(?)-early Albian Kootenai Formation is the first unit that consistently thickens westward, as would be expected in a foredeep depozone. The subsidence curve at this time begins to show the convex-upward pattern characteristic of foredeeps. By Albian time, the fold-and-thrust belt had propagated to the east and incorporated Proterozoic rocks of the Belt Supergroup, as indicated by sandstone compositions, detrital zircon ages in the Blackleaf Formation, and by crosscutting relationships in thrust sheets involving Belt Supergroup rocks in the thrust belt. A major episode of marine inundation and black shale deposition (Marias River Shale) occurred between the Cenomanian and mid-Santonian, and was followed by a regressive succession represented by the Upper Santonian-mid-Campanian Telegraph Creek, Virgelle, and Two Medicine Formations. Provenance data do not resolve the timing of individual thrust displacements during Cenomanian-early Campanian time. The Upper Campanian Bearpaw Formation represents the last major marine inundation in the foreland basin. By latest Campanian time, a major episode of slip on the Lewis thrust system had commenced, as recorded in the foreland by the Willow Creek and St. Mary River Formations in the proximal foredeep depozone. The final stage in the evolution of the Cordilleran fold-and-thrust belt and foreland basin system is recorded by the Paleocene-early Eocene Fort Union and Wasatch Formations, which were preserved in the distal foreland region. Regional extensional faulting along the fold-and-thrust belt began during the middle Eocene. The results presented here enable the establishment of links between previous geological work in Canada and the better known parts of the Cordilleran foreland basin in the United States.
