Good idea, will probably need some impassability. However, I can't read the terit names without straining my eyes.
What's so special about Poland in 1922?

The Territories are based on Poland in 1922 - 1939 (before the war) and so i just put 1922, the regions have probably changed since then?
If i was to do that, it would no longer be a map of Poland, i would like to stick to just Poland, although i agree that there could be a better theme, any other ideas?
I like the idea of a poland map.
A couple of things I've noticed though.
1) I don't like the font though, I can't quite make out the names. Can you sharpen it a little or change the font?
2) It's very hard to see the difference in colur between Lublin and Lodz, can you change the colours on these?
EDIT: I don't think it has to have a theme, there are plenty of country maps that are just just country maps and don't have themes at all. Keep this one going!
This map has a lot more promise than the Med Basin one.
i don't know. It's a fine basic map. But I'm starting to think the CC is saturated already with this type of map. There seems to be a lot of discussion about themes nowadays. Maybe we should move in that direction?
Samuel...you have a brilliant opportunity to turn this map of Poland into a WWII theme with the invasion of Poland from Germany....that could be a very good theme, but you'd need to do some good research to determine how the gameplay would work.
I am sure you'd have good backing from the foundry regulars if you moved into this theme.
you could have Warsaw being bombed from German Luftwaffe....and the troops moving in across a couple of places on the border to replicate some impassables.
Is this map still being worked on? I thinkl it is good and has potential but it needs a few things.
Every Player Starts with a Commander outside of Poland, there are 8 of them each one receives a +3 autodeployed bonus each turn.
Holding a Polish Commander get's a bonus of +1, Holding all 3 get's +4 bonus.
Aircraft can bombard any territory within Poland including Polish Commanders.
Tanks can range their attack up to 2 regions.
There are no continent bonuses.
I didnt see your original idea, but i like the WWII one looking good keep it up!
Yeah where is all the feedback?
IMHO Samual812 has a definite talent at making maps.
I could be wrong here in my presumptions, but doesn't the Polish Air Force deserve at least 1 plane? I don't know how/if they did defend their homeland, but certainly the Polish had an air force to call upon.
And it seems to me that the +3 is a pretty high bonus. Especially when you consider how close they are to each other.

They probably did and i am not against putting a polish plane in, but i am unsure as of yet where i would put it. The map depicts the Polish withdrawal to the South-East (green) so i doubt they would be doing much stuff in the air. But if there is enough support we can figure something out.

Remember there are no continent bonuses, So each player having a home and getting an auto-deploy will make gameplay more interesting. I am going to make it so Commanders can't attack each other, so players won't get killed in the first Round.
I would recommend thinking about just using the commanders' last names, just for the sake of territory names and the XML. You could always just use the last names in the XML and the full names on the actual map, but that could confuse some people.
I'm not really feeling the fuzzy static-like outline on the border.
As you know i am all for this map, it's a very good to start from where you were previously with the original version.
As soon as the invasion began, the German air force began attacking the Polish air force and its bases, bombing and strafing roads and railways, and bombing Poland's factories. Within four days Poland's air force was destroyed.
Juan_Bottom is indeed correct, and could use a representation on the map. The Polish Air Force was very active in other theatres of WWII, so if the green at the bottom represents fleeing Poland as has been suggested, then you could place a one-way attack to another one of those green terts that isn't named yet to represent the Air Force to give them two terts.
Some barbed-wire would possibly go astray as impassables on the borders, as i believe this is what was used in many places to stop people escaping over borders.
* the black text on the blue is a bit awkward to read; perhaps look at incorporating that into the legend somehow.
* What about the Polish underground. Do some further research, and see if there is anything on that front that can be used in this map, it would assist in the overall essence of this country.
Wow, looking very nice. Good work.
Now...down to business, see what you can make of these suggestions.
1. You've got the large map at 840px...is there any need for it to be that large, as there is a lot of large empty real estate, and i'm not saying there shouldn't be, but the map size is at the extremity of the limits for only a small number of terts.
2. Can the PC3 plane only attack into Poland?
3. The red planes on the Soviet Union don't kind of stand out, perhaps gray like the German Planes.
4. You know what i did with the heading in Das Scloss?....well now i liked to see something similar with the big brown square, but in the fashion of the emblem. It does look a little unattractive as such a large rectangle, your map has some very nice curvy lines, and a heading in similar style would look much better IMHO.
5. Is there any reason you chose the brown for the header?
6. In order for the text "The invasion of Poland" to be seen against that beackground, i think the emblem could have the opacity changed so that it's a faded emblem on that background.
7. Why is WWII so large, is the map not about the invasion of poland...i would think that should be the larger.
8. i take it you didn't like anything about the Polish underground, or didn't you bother, or did you think it might complicate the map?
Don't forget to rest...and keep up the great work.

I chose brown because it was the only colour i thought would look good, but looking at it now i'm having second thoughts.

Well, i guess it should as it was meant to represent the out-of-poland pilots.
But what did you think about the idea of having the polish air force in poland also on one tert to represent the attack proper when the luftwaffer initally attacked?
yeah, look see what others think first before you go changing it...they might like it.

The Great FreedomFest Debate Was Like Watching Tom and Jerry
With apologies to his fans, Jerry is an evil little mouse who constantly pesters Tom the Cat. Tom tries and tries, but cannot seem to overpower someone who is a fraction of his size and strength.
Watching Stephen Moore attempt to debate Paul Krugman was like that.
The "economics" of Krugman is Keynesian economics. It consists of central planning your life by force, because market failure. And Krugman repeated this phrase "market failure" several times. Of course the solution was always government intervention.
Here is an interesting endorsement about one of Keynes' books.
"Fascism entirely agrees with Mr. Maynard Keynes, despite the latter's prominent position as a Liberal. In fact, Mr. Keynes' excellent little book, The End of Laissez-Faire (l926) might, so far as it goes, serve as a useful introduction to fascist economics. There is scarcely anything to object to in it and there is much to applaud."
This was said by someone who knows all about fascism, Benito Mussolini. Fascism is a corporatist system. Although it has private ownership in name, it's all under government control. Krugman is a real economic lightweight who proposed fascism for nearly everything that came up. His debate tactics consisted of context-dropping, asserting simple fallacies, and cherry-picking data.
In the TV cartoon, Jerry would steal something and run into his mouse hole. Tom would be left whacking at the hole with a broom, in vain. At FredomFest, Krugman would say that the government must spend more to get the economy out of recession. Moore disagreed, and Krugman displayed a chart showing government spending and GDP growth rates for many countries around the world. Government spending and growth correlated very well.
Instead of flailing away with a blunt instrument, I would have said "Seriously, Paul? What a simple fallacy. The definition of GDP includes government spending. You haven't proven anything. It's a tautology that if government spending goes up, GDP goes up. This is the flaw in GDP. Sometimes, rising GDP means the people are being impoverished."
Next, Krugman moved on to one of the central fallacies of Keynesianism. In Krugman's words, "You just gave the logic for government deficit spending. Your spending is my income. Where is the income supposed to come from, if everyone cuts spending? Government has to make up the difference."
I would have said, "Seriously Paul. Again?! This is like the Broken Window fallacy [which Krugman said in 2011 "ceased to be a fallacy"]. Not all spending is consumer spending. Investment spending is important. When people slow consumption, it doesn't mean they hoard dollar bills. They increase their bank deposits. Banks lend to promising companies. You know, that next new product or lifesaving technology? Except you don't know it, because government spending has crowded them out."
In an economic downturn, people go on fewer gambling and drinking binges to Las Vegas. Krugman is basically saying that the government has to take up the slack, and go on gambling binges. Because demand shortfall.
Shortly after telling Moore that one cannot cherry-pick one's data, Krugman showed a graph comparing Jerry Brown's California to Sam Brownback's Kansas. For one year. I felt embarrassed for him, as there were sounds of amused laughter from the audience.
Why did it come to Kansas vs. California for the year 2014 (I didn't write the year in my notes)? It's because Moore was defending free markets by appeal to aggregate statistics. Moore used red states as examples of freer markets, and blue for less free markets. He showed a few charts in which red states fared better than blue.
Krugman's cherry-picking got him safely back to his mouse hole, with Moore stuck outside, banging with a floor cleaning tool.
You cannot defend freedom using statistics, as you cannot get a mouse out of the wallboards with a broom.
Both Krugman and Moore were nervous speakers. Krugman was hunched a bit in on himself (though to be fair, he was in hostile territory and he knew it). Both spoke too rapidly and with a jittery character to their voices. Each has a nervous tell, with Moore incessantly taking little sips from his iced tea and Krugman playing with his fingers.
Krugman took the lead on each issue. Moore often respond with a long caveat, which conceded the point to Krugman. For example, Krugman said that some kids are born disadvantaged, so we need to give them each $8,000 to $10,000 (per year, I assume) in free money. He actually said they "choose the wrong parents."
Someone please tell him that this is only possible by robbing the taxpayers. Maybe add that it will just accelerate America's collapse into bankruptcy. Trillions in welfare spending do not fix anyone's problems, and are actually the cause of the disadvantage Krugman discusses.
Moore said he supports a social safety net, because America is rich, we can afford it, and it's morally right. When the broom failed to defeat the mouse, not even Tom tried singing to Jerry.
The topic moved to healthcare. Moore noted that government involvement has caused costs to spiral. Krugman offered another whopper. It's because innovation.
This is absurd, and even Krugman knows it. In computers, there's been decades of both rapid innovation and falling prices.
Krugman moved on to his shining moment, in the Ellsworth Toohey sense of shine. He unshrunk from his hunch, and his voice rang with moral clarity. "Obamacare is a life saver!"
The audience booed.
"I know someone whose life was saved by Obamacare. If you don't know anyone like that, then I'm sorry for your narrow little world."
This is a faux-apology and a presumption. Who the heck is this guy to apologize to me for my life not conforming to his ideology? Not to mention, Krugman glosses over the people harmed by it. There ain't no such thing as a free lunch, even if handout beneficiaries think there is.
Worse yet Krugman implies that, to be moral, you must sacrifice yourself. He is cashing in on the guilt many people feel, at their own success. He's learned that all he has to do is raise the specter that someone else is suffering, and they will concede him anything he demands.
This being FreedomFest, and not the People's Workers' Party, a large majority of the audience supported Moore. However, moderator Mark Skousen asked a very clever question, "If you did not enter this room in agreement with Paul Krugman, did you change your mind as a result of what he said today?" I estimate about 50 people clapped or cheered.
Krugman won because he appealed to people's sense of right and wrong. Morality trumps economics any day of the week. Moore didn't even respond to Krugman's economic errors, much less smack down his phony judgmentalism.

Of course objectivists would argue that the reason for the Tom and Jerry routine is the underlying lack of a comprehensive philosophical basis for lmany libertarian and free market advocates.
I was at Porcefest until Thursday morning. Now I'm glad I didn't stay for this or see this. Sounds like it was a pathetic defense of our Liberty. It doesn't surprise me though that 50 people switched sides. My impression of the porcfest crowd was that if the Democratic Party made idrug legalization a platform plank, half the people there would be gone. Out voting for legal marijuana and bigger government. Soma anyone?

SFI 3.3 certified Arm Restraints. The 2 inch wide nylon cuff attaches around the arm and is adjusted and secured with Velcrow. The V-style nylon tether attaches to the arm restraint via clips at both ends. The V tether length is adjustable with two bar slides so the wrist will not go outside the cage area. A D-ring at the end of the V tether makes the attachment to the harness hardware.


Winifred - if you are still on this forum, Michael and Margery were my greatgrandparents too. I also had information that Michael was from Co. Cavan but I have also since heard he was from Co. Mayo.
Hello Winifred, I have just picked up this thread...not sure if you are still following this but I might be able to give you more details on Catherine.


Looking back on the year, we run down some of the highlights that we as fans of Doctor Who have enjoyed from on screen, in audio, comics, books, and among the community channels. We revel in this jewel of a series from Peter Capaldi, the close of the Moffat era, and the arrival of Jodie Whittaker. We take time to acknowledge all the incredible releases from Big Finish and Titan Comics, as well as a few book releases that have graced our shelves this year.
EXTRA: We open up the suggestion box to you, good listeners, on topic ideas we can run with in 2018 until Series 11 finally arrives. GET THEE TO A COMMENT THREAD-ERY!


To what extent are we responsible for our thoughts, emotions and the actions that spring from them? Is there ever a time where we could say we were helpless to curb actions provoked by rage, jealousy, covetousness etc.?
1. We need to put off some things (apekduomai = to strip off from oneself): anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy language, lying, the old man and his deeds. It sounds so easy, as if one could just peel off, like an outfit of clothes, these habitual ways of feeling and reacting. In reality, it takes time, focus and effort. Like all actions, these "old man" ones start in our minds. So we need to start by tossing the rags of angry and malicious and blasphemous and filthy and lying thoughts into the trash.
2. We need to put on some things (enduo = to clothe or be clothed with, in the sense of sinking into a garment): the "new man" with his attitude of mercy, long-suffering, bearing with others, forgiveness, love.
3. We need to let peace rule in our hearts (brabeus from brabeuo = to act as umpire). This is how I see it working: I perform an action, say I react impatiently while I'm in the lineup at the supermarket. Later, as I reflect on my day, I sense dis-ease. Why this un-peace, I ask myself. Then I remember my impatient reaction and realize I need to come to terms with such impatience. The lack of peace is the umpire that declares something is "foul" and brings me face to face with things I need to deal with and dispose of.
4. We need to let the word of Christ dwell in us richly (enoikeo = dwell, inhabit). As we marinate in God's word (read it, memorize it, think about it, apply it, talk about it), we gain wisdom. The evidence of such a word-saturated life is an encouraging attitude that instructs with a wise heart and a worshiping mouth (Colossians 3:17).
It all builds toward the goal of "whatever you do [no matter what it is] in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus and in [dependence upon] His Person" (Colossians 3:17 - Amplified).
PRAYER: Dear God, please help me to work Your plan in my life today. Make me alert to the things I need to put off, and willing to dress myself in right ways of thinking and acting. Help me to saturate myself with Your word and be sensitive and obedient to the umpire of Your peace. Amen.


In October 2013, Cinemark held its 24th Annual Charity Golf Dinner and Tournament in Dallas, Texas. The Foodbank was one of seven worthy nonprofit beneficiaries of the funds raised. In January, The Foodbank received a $25,000 donation as a result of this successful event.
The event kicked off in tropical style with a festive Luau dinner, complete with two roasted pigs, authentic flower leis, an island-themed band called "watusi" and even a fire-dancer who greeted Cinemark's vendors, suppliers and special guests.
The event featured a huge silent and live auction. To raise even more funds, several auctioned items, were immediately donated back, and auctioned again to raise even more funds. The weather was perfect the over 300 golfers. Cinemark's valued vendors, suppliers and partners were able to take in a day of networking, camaraderie and good times with Cinemark executive team members and key employees. Photos of the event can be viewed in our Photo Gallery.

The first records registry was set up during the London period of the Preparatory Commission of the United Nations (between 21 November 1945 and 31 January 1946) and patterned after that of the British Foreign Office. The system was discontinued in 1979, after the decision to move to a decentralized records management system. Function was the centralization of Secretariat recordkeeping in one large classification system. Succeeded by decentralized recordkeeping by departments in consultation with the Archives Section's records management programme.
The fond contains all the centrally filed records of the Secretariat from its early period. Predominant date range is 1940 - 1950.

Reading Festival 2012 [Richmond Avenue, Reading]
Reading Festival has long been a staple of my summer. This was my fourth year running with a full weekend ticket and about my seventh year attending overall. Somehow, the summer just doesn't feel the same without a trip down to Reading – usually, my dad drives us down and dumps us at the river, then we slog down to the campsite, set up shop and collapse with drinks in hand (or a Coke Zero for me, let's be honest) until the bands start on Friday. This year, with the formula slightly altered – sister's friends drove, all my friends bailed on me – I could just tell that things would be… different somehow. Well, apart from not having a real shower for five days – that's always going to stay the same.
I kicked off my Friday with Deaf Havana (4/5) on the main stage. Despite already hitting the ciders, the band were on top form to open the festival. With a set comprised almost completely of songs from crowd-friendly but brilliant Fools And Worthless Liars, it was a tuneful, optimistic beginning to the weekend. Finally fulfilling one of their ambitions, as James Veck-Gilodi explained, it was great to see one of Britain's most up and coming bands play to so many people that early on. Over in the NME/Radio 1 Tent, Hadouken! (4/5) set a completely different precedent to Deaf Havana. Ramping up the intensity to 11, Hadouken! came to party hard and didn't disappoint. While I'm not necessarily the biggest fan of their recorded material, they're simply exhilarating to behold on a live platform and the tent was packed – clearly an indicator of their well deserved status.
Back on the main stage, Coheed and Cambria (3.5/5) didn't live up to the usual expectations. Of course, Claudio is a majestic beast on stage and with the original line-up back in place, it's clear to see that Coheed are in a better place than they have been in a long time. And yet, the set they chose just wasn't festival friendly and the crowd stood there for most of the time bored and listless. Nevertheless, when Claudio whacked out the double neck SG for Welcome Home, the energy that Coheed are certainly capable of when they're in the right place was more than obvious.
A brief segway to the Alternative Stage saw us in the company of Adam Hills (4.5/5), that dead funny Australian bloke off Mock The Week. He was certainly onto a winner with his set at Reading, containing a few new gags that had me and my companions almost crying with laughter. With that new show on Channel 4, plus more TV appearances here, he deserves to be enormous.
The Blackout (4.5/5) simply never disappoint. Merthyr Tydfil's finest delivered an absolutely phenomenal set, picking the biggest anthems from their back catalogue. Sean Smith and Gavin Butler are a joy to watch as they jump across the stage, chucking mics and screaming loud and proud. The Blackout display a passion that's sadly lacking from so many performers, as well as a professionalism that's nearly unparalleled. Don't ever miss them if you have the opportunity to see them – it's worth it for Higher And Higher alone. In comparison, You Me At Six (3/5) were suitably tepid. Josh Franceschi demonstrated some pretty killer screams, but the band have taken too much from the school of American bands, thanking the audience after every song. While the sound couldn't be faulted and they certainly played their particular brand of pop-rock adequately, the performance just felt flat. You Me At Six aren't exactly known for being risk takers and there was certainly nothing unsafe about their set.
The disappointments continued thick and fast with Paramore (2/5). There's been a lot of drama following the band over the past year. The shock departure of the Farro brothers left them in a bit of a rut and they're only just getting out of it. Despite Hayley's protestations that the show was all about the band as a whole though, it was clearly the Hayley Williams show and very little more. Hayley herself is still struggling to strike the right balance between singing properly and shouting weirdly, which is a terrible shame considering the incredible quality of her live performance pre-Riot!. Of course, Paramore have come along a great deal since that time in one way or another, but for a musician so highly praised for her vocal ability, she just doesn't cut it live. The rest of the band are background characters – what's left of them, anyway. A completely safe and predictable performance, apart from bringing on a fan for the final chorus of Misery Business and truly, the final nail in the coffin for my interest in Paramore.
The Cure (3/5) didn't exactly stop the disappointment train in its tracks. A firm favourite of mine since my teen goth days, The Cure are a British institution. They don't know how to pick a setlist though. When they played the songs we all knew – Lovecats, Inbetween Days, Friday I'm In Love – we were enthralled. The Cure, even after all these years, are still breathtaking, but only when they're playing the classics. Most of their set was comprised of stuff that I didn't recognise or didn't like because despite being able to write anthems, they also know how to create boring background tracks all too well and too many of those made an appearance in their set. The encore was the best part overall, with the crowd and the band really coming alive for songs like Let's Go To Bed and Close To Me. It's comforting to know that after all these years, The Cure can still play very well. It's less so to realise that their idea of timeless and ours no longer correspond.
Saturday's start was more than a little unorthodox, to say the least. Sat around the campsite, waiting for people to get ready, I get a text from a friend that says "Green Day are on NOW if you wanted to watch them", so cue a lot of running, potential abandonment of dignity and plenty of swearing. When we finally get into the arena, they'd blocked off access to the NME tent anyway so we stood watching from the big screen. Green Day (5/5) themselves though were completely unforgettable. All the rumours about a Dookie-only set had gone totally out of the window, instead leading to something more along the lines of every single they've ever released, meaning some gems like Hitchin' A Ride and When I Come Around got to make an appearance. Billie Joe Armstrong is as excitable as a toddler in a toy shop, darting around the stage with water guns and tissue cannons, picking up the cameras and exceeds every expectation. Mike Dirnt and Tre Cool are no less enigmatic and quite simply, Green Day's refusal to grow up lead to one of the most exciting live performances of the weekend, even without us making it into the tent itself.
Mystery Jets (4/5) are always a pleasure. Their lovely indie-pop floated its way through the crowds during the one little bit of sunshine we had, making for a nice, chilled out set. Fan favourite Girl Next Door had virtually the whole field singing along. OFWGKTA (2.5/5) proved a lot more divisive. Odd is definitely the right word for the rap collective. While at times, Odd Future's material can be insightful, intelligent and highly original, the set at Reading just displayed some badly timed raps and the weaker parts of their back catalogue. Far more impressive were Don Broco (4/5). The Bedford quartet had the Festival Republic stage completely rammed as they threw out anthem after anthem. The band are born performers and their catchy brand of alt-rock will take them far.
Enter Shikari (4.5/5) have been at Reading for the past four years running and every time, are met with adoration and total devotion to the art form that is the human pyramid. Even after the phenomenal success of A Flash Flood Of Colour, Enter Shikari still perform with the chaotic energy and style that they've been renowned for and though an ethical message was prevalent within the set, it was ultimately overridden by the biggest party vibe of the festival. The Vaccines (3.5/5) are not really party people, nor do they have a sense of humour quite like Enter Shikari. Nevertheless, their catchy indie rock is perfectly inoffensive and provided some good clean fun.
The final set of the day for me was that of the truly mighty Young Guns (4.5/5). With second album, Bones, the quintet have leapt from strength to strength and this is perfectly demonstrated in their live show. Gustav and co are charismatic and energetic, their songs emotionally charged and completely explosive. Young Guns truly are going to go atmospheric.
Sunday is generally the best day of Reading Festival. Well known for being the festival's "rock" day on the main stage, the line up on offer this year was second to none on paper. Band Of Skulls (3/5), new purveyors of grungey garage rock, were fairly samey in places, although it is difficult to sound particularly innovative in that genre. Their too-cool-for-school look seeped through into their performance, which worked on a few levels (Effortlessly fashionable? Check. That kind of despondent movement you can only do with grunge? Check) but on others, was just a vague flashback to the 90s. Frank Turner's new hardcore band, Mongol Horde (5/5) proved to be far more entertaining and diverse, despite the obvious draw from 80s hardcore. It's hard to think that Frank Turner can be anything but the folk-punk troubadour he's become these days, but as he leapt onto stage wearing nothing but a pair of cargo shorts, all and any expectations of what Frank Turner is or was can be safely tossed out of the window. He's got some of the best damn hardcore growls in the business at the moment, his vocals perfectly fitting songs that owe a great deal to the 80s hardcore scene, as well as harking back to the melodic post-hardcore of Million Dead. More complex than the average hardcore outfit and yet gloriously brutal in places, Mongol Horde are really, really good.
Eagles Of Death Metal (4/5) were fun, plain and simple. Rock and roll, no questions asked. Even though I'm not well versed in their back catalogue at all, I still found myself singing along stupidly loud. They're just that catchy. And yes – Jesse still has that handlebar moustache. Because that's rock. So is high fiving everyone on the front row, stealing bandanas and trucker caps and causing mayhem before three o'clock in the afternoon. The Gaslight Anthem (4/5) were just as involving but in a completely different way. The success of American Slang and now Handwritten has made them household names and their place on the main stage has been assured. There's never anything fancy about a Gaslight performance – just great songs played with passion. The Skints (4/5) are hardly strangers to passionate live shows and had the Lock Up tent fit to burst. Equal parts laid back reggae beats and furious ska punk, a large part of the set came from the stunning new album Part And Parcel. In particular, Ratatat sounded insane.
Until this weekend, I'd pretty much forgotten that Bullet For My Valentine (3.5/5) still existed. Fever was just so shocking, it was easy to forget that they'd written some blazing tunes in the past. Their set this year was a good run through of all the classics – ultimately a crowd pleaser. It was a little bit cheesy in places – can British heavy metal ever not be? – but they're a good laugh all the same. Kaiser Chiefs (4.5/5) lived up to their reputation of being one of Britain's best live bands in the past ten years. They know what the audience wants and they blasted through all the singles at lightning speed, ignoring any album tracks for the most part. Ricky Wilson is fearless in his approach, launching himself at cameras and diving off of railings. He makes for compelling viewing, but the rest of the band are just as cheeky and full of Northern charm. It's impossible to walk away from a Kaiser Chiefs set without a substantial grin. The Black Keys (4/5) possess an entirely different kind of charisma, effortlessly leading the crowd through their catchy bluesy rock. While I think that the Kaiser Chiefs should have had a higher billing than them (but alas, the Kaisers have been featured in far less adverts), it's hard to see how The Black Keys have slid under the radar for so long as they have. Nevertheless, a UK arena tour is happening and they're finally getting the adoration they deserve.
Finally, after a long weekend, the Foo Fighters (5/5) took to the stage. Dave Grohl instantly holds the crowd in the palm of his hand with a "What's up England?" and we stay there until the closing bars of Everlong. Even after almost twenty years as a band, the banter is still strong, the enthusiasm is high and everything is note perfect. The Foos are great songwriters, but also highly competent musicians and guitar and drum solos reign throughout the show. And it really is a show – there's fireworks and paper cannons punctuating the set, but a balance is struck between arena rock posturing and a more intimate feel. Grohl dedicates songs to his mum and his adorable daughters, who are watching from the side and when he tells the story of his first Reading encounter before Times Like These, the thousands of people watching them that night feel closer to any band than they have all weekend, especially when joined in song. A few covers add some fun as well as some old gems like Generator and whether you're a fan or not, it's impossible not to be taken in by the sheer brilliance of the Foo Fighters. For rock fans everywhere, for music fans everywhere, the Foo Fighters are an essential part of your live repetoire.
And thus ended yet another Reading, on what we thought was an absolute high. We weren't counting on the horrific six hour wait to get out of White car park. And as such, the experience was tarnished for me. Usually, Reading is the highlight of my summer and what was an incredible weekend was ruined by shoddy management. Only in England, eh? I think I'll be giving another festival a shot next year.

Merthyr Rock/Hit The Deck – apparently better than Reading Festival
I may just be digging my own grave around here, but I'm not a fan of huge festivals. I'm all for the live music, overpriced chips, getting a bit tiddly in a field with my mates, but trying to sleep in a tiny rustling pod next to a tent full of rutting scene kids just isn't my style. I like cut price chain hotels, kettles and tiny sachets of coffee. And to that end, mini day-festivals are fast becoming my favourite summer past time. In 2011 the gods made it so that the UK was gifted with a veritable plethora of day festivals. Thank you benevolent unseen beings, thank you.
Although I couldn't get to half as many as I wanted, two particular tiny festivals made such an impact on my well-rested and showered self, that I feel compelled to share their merits with the world. They're also both running again in 2012 with equally as good line-ups, so why not book a nearby hotel room and get your party on!
Merthyr Rock
As the summer draws to an end and the UK's largest festivals have come and gone, leaving a wave of blurry photographs and fabric wristbands in their wake, outdoor music tends to go into hibernation until the next year. While those attending Download, Sonisphere and their indie brothers plough money into huge week-long camping excursions, those left behind either through money or travel constraints are left with a certain bitter taste in their mouth. And that is when Merthy Rock comes into play. For little over twenty quid, you had the opportunity to spend a wet September day in a tent in a Welsh field… wait. Okay, perhaps it's not the most glamorous location in the world, but the lineup soon silences any disparaging comments. While the small, tent-free outdoor stage ultimately suffered at the hands of the Merthyr weather, the main tent provided an exhaustingly wonderful string of bands, none of who could be said to have given a half-arsed performance. With signing sessions throughout the day and burger vans that didn't require you to sell a kidney in order to afford a tray of wilted chips, it's a small festival that really deserves to pick up momentum and continue for many years to come. While 2011 was a two-day festival, with sets from Ocean Colour Scene and Goldie Lookin' Chain on the 3rd, understandably more attention was showered on the day of the 4th where home-grown heroes The Blackout were headlining. Before the Welsh wonders took to the stage, we were treated to solid, quality performances by the likes of My Passion, Young Guns and Skindred to name a few. While all other bands were well and good, The Blackout stole the show with one of the most powerful and emotionally-charged performances I've ever seen. Definitely a 'Woodstock Moment' for all waves of Blackout fans.
Hit The Deck
Hit The Deck, hosted in Nottingham's veritable rabbit-warren of a venue, Rock City, was a particular musical highlight of 2011. A one-day, cripplingly wonderful 'alternative' spectacular spread over three smaller venues, Hit The Deck proved its worth in booking some of the hottest new bands on the UK scene and secured its future success. While hosted in a run of the mill, rather unremarkable venue, Hit the Deck festival managed to comfortably secure its own identity and enthusiastic following. Rather surprisingly, on the whole, it was an incredibly well organised set up with clean rotation on the merch tables, smooth switch-overs between bands, good scheduling and an expert grouping of genres. With mini competitions for small unsigned bands to play opening slots, it also felt very inclusive, accessible and an achievable aspiration for future young groups. Personally, my highlights of 2011 included a beautiful little surprise set from rising stars, We Are Fiction, a performance by Young Guns which proved so compelling that the venue had to operate a 'one in-one out' policy and a triumphant show by Deaf Havana who continued to prove that they didn't need a screamer to tear the roof off the building. With yet another promising lineup in 2012 (Including Kids in Glass Houses and Yashin), you'd be a fool to miss out.
So go on, part with your cash and get adding to that wristband collection!

Q: Client is not getting response from the server I am a noob at this . i will be very greatfull if sombody could help me. This is my first port here so i have tried to be as elaborate as possible(If that is the right way to ask questions here).
Ok. Let me explain the problem i am having. I am writing  chat server and a client program.
The basic thing that i am trying to achieve is to ;
1)connect to the server
2)start sending and receiving messages.
The way i have set up the server is that when ever a client is going to send a messages the server is going to send the msg back to all the connected client.So in other words i am trying to make a chat room
The thing is that my server or client (depending on where the fault is) is giving me three different results under three different condition.
CONDITION ONE: both clients are on the same computer.
RESULT : everything is working the way i expect it to.
CONDITION TWO: One of the clients is on a different computer but still the same local network(my home network)
RESULT: The remote client is able to send messages and the client on the same computer as the server(i'll call it "local client") is able to get them.But the remote client is only getting its own messages back and not getting the messages from the "local client".
CONDITION THREE: One of the clients is remote (somewhere else on the internet).The other is on the same pc as the server.
RESULT: The local client both can send and receive messages but this time the remote client can only send messages , its not getting back any messages neither his own nor from the local client.
Here is a link to my code . Its not much.

A: Most likely your problems are firewall related.
I would suggest you add logging to your Server class and log all received messages where they are coming from and where they are being sent to and log all errors too

Monos (2019)
NAME OF FILM: MONOS
DIRECTOR(S): Alejandro Landes
STARRING: Sofia Buenaventura, Julian Giraldo, Karen Quintero
GENRE: Drama Film
SYNOPSIS: In Alejandro Landes's intensely thrilling twist on Lord of the Flies, Julianne Nicholson plays a terrorized American engineer held captive by teenage guerilla bandits in an unnamed South American jungle. Leaderless and rootless, the child soldiers puff themselves up with names like Rambo, Smurf, and Bigfoot (the latter a brutal Moises Arias), and survive the tedium and predation of the wilderness through sexual games and cult-like rituals. As they wage physical and psychological warfare on perceived enemies—and, inevitably, among themselves—they are reduced to a state of desperate barbarism.

Thoughts on Wondrous Costway Free Shape Red Plain Asian Chenille 3 Seater Folding Lazy Discount Sofa Stylish Chair 21.70x19.10x5.106 Inches Black Loveseat Blue Sectional?


The official report of Ramiro Delaherran's arrest last December seems to be a straightforward account of some very lucky police work: Los Angeles County Sheriff's officers stopped him because he made an abrupt left turn without using his signal. Then they happened to find that the red Ford Thunderbird he was driving was loaded with 150 kilograms of cocaine.
But Mr. Delaherran, 28, insisted he had not driven erratically at all. His lawyer's suspicions were raised when the prosecutor refused to turn over the police dispatcher's tape, made when the arrest was radioed in. And in June, the authorities disappeared from Mr. Delaherran's life, allowing his case to be dismissed when the tape was not produced.
Mr. Delaherran did not get far: Federal authorities took over the case and arrested him July 13; their case is pending. The Federal complaint against Mr. Delaherran makes clear that it was not his driving that made officers suspicious; rather, it was a wiretap investigation of a drug ring by the Federal Drug Enforcement Administration.
Mr. Delaherran was caught up in what is called a ''hand-off,'' where investigators who hear of drug activity while listening to a wiretapped conversation pass that information to a second set of officers without saying where it came from. Those officers are expected to establish ''independent probable cause'' for an arrest. The existence of the wiretap and the tip that it generated are rarely disclosed to the defense.
The practice came to light in March, when a state judge, Gregory W. Alarcon, ruled that prosecutors must turn over wiretap evidence in a 1996 case involving the arrests of three men and the seizure of 190 kilograms of cocaine. Philip DeMassa, a lawyer for one of the three men, said the wiretap showed that his client, Lauro Gaxiola, was asleep the day of his arrest and not involved in alleged drug transactions.
Gil Garcetti, the Los Angeles County District Attorney, acknowledged in June that such information had been withheld in 58 cases since 1993, and said his office would adopt an interim policy of notifying defendants when their cases involve wiretaps. But the District Attorney's office has also defended the procedure, saying that the office is entitled to withhold the information when doing so serves the public interest, and that judges who were informed of such evidence did not require it to be disclosed. Further, one official said, defendants were notified in 27 cases when wiretaps were involved.
Concealing wiretap surveillance from defendants has been a common though relatively unknown practice in Los Angeles and other cities where drug trafficking is a problem. In hearings, Los Angeles officers who developed the practice with the District Attorney's office in the mid-1980's have said that the goal was to build a wall between the wiretap and the arrest so the surveillance could be used in continuing investigations.
But the practice has drawn complaints from defense lawyers that it is a breach of defendants' due process and discovery rights, and has raised accusations of wiretapping law abuses. Defense lawyers say concealed wiretaps preclude their seeking suppression of evidence by arguing that applications for the wiretaps were defective.
And defense lawyers cite Federal and state law saying evidence produced as a result of a wiretap cannot be admitted in court unless the existence of the wiretap is disclosed.
The Public Defender's office has filed a demand for names of defendants whose cases originated with wiretaps, and a writ asking a judge to declare the practice unconstitutional. Mr. DeMassa and Mr. Stein said they might seek dismissal of their clients' cases based on claims of outrageous government conduct.
In Mr. Delaherran's case, when his arrest occurred, Federal officials were in the middle of a yearlong wiretap investigation that netted nearly four tons of cocaine, $15 million in drug proceeds and the indictment on July 10 of nine men, including an official in the Arellano Felix cartel of Tijuana, Mexico.
Though Federal authorities have not specified what role, if any, Mr. Delaherran had in the Felix operation, they said they had not wanted to jeopardize the broader investigation by having to disclose their wiretaps in Federal court. So investigators passed the information to the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department, which made the arrest of Mr. Delaherran and took the case to state court. If the judge on the case required disclosure of the wiretap, the Federal authorities told state prosecutors, the case was to be dismissed.
Defendants convicted without disclosure of the wiretap evidence against them face significant hurdles in seeking new trials. To succeed, defense lawyers must show that the wiretap applications were defective and the evidence derived from them prejudiced their cases.

New Overtime Rule Set to Expand Ove...
New Overtime Rule Set to Expand Overtime to Millions of Workers Blocked by Judge
Staff | Labor and Employment | Nov 24, 2016
The new rule expanding overtime pay to millions of hardworking Americans, was blocked by a federal judge just days before it was set to go into effect. The U.S. Department of Labor has promised to challenge the ruling, arguing that it was completely within its right to increase the salary threshold to be considered exempt from time-and-half-overtime, according to the New York Times.
The rule was set to go into effect on December 1, and would have expanded overtime pay to workers earning less than $47,476. Currently, only those making less than $23,660 are eligible for time-and-a-half overtime if they work more than 40 hours a week. That limit was set 12 years ago, according to the Times.
The federal judge in Texas ruled that the DOL had exceeded its Congressional authority by increasing the salary level by such a large amount, and issued the national injunction as a result. However, the ruling is only temporary, and more than four million workers who were expected to benefit from the increased salary exemption will have to wait until the judge has time to review the matter more carefully.
How Would the New Rule Have Benefited Workers?
Had the rule gone into effect as planned, millions of workers would have been given a couple avenues to make more money at work.
Certain employers may have found it more cost-effective to raise their employees' salary's above the threshold to keep them exempt from overtime. Other employers may have just decided to pay overtime to the employees who would have been eligible under the new rule. Either way, millions of workers would have seen a bump in their wages.
Lower waged Workers certainly deserved it too.
Aside from there being many hard working people who don't qualify for overtime, but also don't make enough to adequately support themselves and their families, there are workers being cheated out of overtime who deserve it under the current rules outlined in the Fair Labor and Standards Act.
How is Wage Theft Committed?
Wage theft is not uncommon in many industries, some that are even surprising. From fast-food workers to bankers, employees of all kind lose out on money they rightfully earned.
White collar workers are often given inflated job titles that make them seem more important than what their actual duties are in order to exempt them from overtime under the job duties exemption in the FLSA. There are currently five different types of jobs — executive, administrative, professional, computer, or outside sales — that are exempt from overtime if certain job duties are performed by an employee.
Blue collar workers, on the other hand, have their overtime rights cheated more explicitly. Sometimes they are told to clock out, so they don't exceed 40 hours and require overtime pay, even though they must continue working. Other times, workers are just outright not paid overtime even though they worked more than 40 hours in a given week.
Had the new rule gone into effect more people would have been eligible for overtime, but wage theft would still remain a serious problem.
What Can You do If You Suspect You are the Victim of Wage Theft?
The Department of Labor is considering all of its legal options to get the new rule instated according to the New York Times, but in the meantime, average workers may also want to consider their legal options.
Overtime pay is vital to millions of workers, and the money they are cheated out of can make a real difference in their lives. If you suspect you are one of the people unfairly being denied overtime our wage and hour attorneys may be able to help.

If Trump Wins, Look Out: 5 Ultra-Safe Stocks to Hide Out In
By Lee Jackson	November 2, 2016 9:55 am EDT
Think about it. One year ago, anybody would have bet that there is no way that Donald Trump would be the nominee for President of the United States. Then he proceeded to face off against a who's-who of Republican contenders and bested them all. Now, with less than a week left until the election, due to a litany of reasons we all know about, he is even or ahead in some polls and battleground states.
The reason that may be bad for the stock market is that Wall Street favors Hillary Clinton for a variety of reasons. The major one is she is known quantity, and regardless of how you feel about her stances on issues, they are at least something that Wall Street is familiar with. Trump on the other hand is a whole different ballgame, and he may look to shake up the status quo in a big way.
While any dip in the markets may be brief if he is elected, it could be steep. We screened the Merrill Lynch research universe for their safest stocks, as ranked by volatility risk, that pay dividends and are rated Buy. Five look like solid choices now.
This company has had an incredible run this year but is off over 10% in less than six weeks. AT&T Inc. (NYSE: T) is the world's largest provider of pay TV, with TV customers in the United States and 11 Latin American countries. In the United States, the AT&T wireless network has the nation's self-described strongest 4G LTE signal and most reliable 4G LTE. The company also helps businesses worldwide serve their customers better with mobility and highly secure cloud solutions.
With its shares trading at a very cheap 14.3 times estimated 2016 earnings, the company continues to expand its user base, and strong product introductions from smartphone vendors have not only driven traffic but increased device financing plans.
AT&T is in the Merrill Lynch US 1 portfolio and has several major catalysts that likely will drive strong network traffic demand: DirecTV Now and Mobile, "Data-Free TV" for DirecTV/U-verse subscribers and increasing penetration of unlimited data plans. Many on Wall Street believe that the company is well-positioned to address ongoing traffic requirements, with additional LTE capacity available and the ability to leverage small cell deployments.
The company announced a deal to Buy Time Warner for about $80 billion, which translates to about $105 to $110 per share. Two years ago, Time Warner rebuffed a takeover bid from 21st Century Fox at $85 per share. The chatter started on Thursday and carried into Friday, with a deal being announced over the weekend. The stock was hammered on Friday, after already being knocked down as the fear of rising rates hit the telecoms.
AT&T investors receive a 5.36 % dividend. The Merrill Lynch price target for the stock is $46. The Wall Street consensus price objective is $41. Shares closed Tuesday at $36.56.
This top dividend payer is also a very safe play for investors. Colgate-Palmolive Co. (NYSE: CL) is the stock to buy in consumer staples. The company continues to deliver solid execution and is one of the best-positioned companies in the consumer staples sector, given its strong brands in attractive categories, particularly oral care.
More than half (52%) of total revenues at Colgate are derived in faster-growth emerging economies, and the company maintains leading or near-leading market shares across the Brazil, Russia, India, China (BRIC) regions. While those have slowed over the past year, a pickup in growth could be coming.
Back in the spring, Colgate increased the quarterly common stock cash dividend by 3%. The new quarterly dividend is $0.39 per share on its common stock.
Investors are now paid a 2.2% dividend. Merrill Lynch has an $80 price target, and the consensus target is $76.81. Shares closed Tuesday at $70.99.
