A 2018 yearender report by Abner Galino
Image by http://manila.advancedamericantax.net
INDIVIDUALLY and as a community, Filipino Americans, one of the largest ethnic communities in southern California and in the entire state of California, posted remarkable achievements in the Year 2018.
But this yearender isn't all about achievements but more so on news that we think considerably affected or stirred the Filipino American community in more ways than one.
On this premise, the story that topped our list is no other than the nail-biting account of TJ Cox's (Terrance John Cox) electoral victory over three-term Republican Rep. David Valadao.
TJ Cox defeats incumbent Rep. Valadao
The media initially reported that Cox had lost to Valadao. But three weeks after election day, when updated results from Fresno and Kings counties came in, Cox posted a lead of 529 votes.
The 55-year-old son of a Filipina trailed by nearly 4,000 votes on election night. But his number of votes steadily rose as results from mail-in ballots were officially counted.
TJ Cox's win gave California Democrats a gain of seven seats in the US House of Representatives — giving the party a total of 40 new seats to regain their majority in the chamber. He will be representing California Congressional District 21.
Cox ran and lost in his first bid to win as representative of California's 19th congressional district in the 2006 elections.
On his second try, Cox ran on the platform of supporting affordable health care, developing health clinics and creating jobs in the health care industry.
Two Fil-Am judges appointed to Superior Court
In an apparent show of trust in the competence and integrity of Filipino American in the judiciary, outgoing California Governor Jerry Brown appointed Judges Audra Ibarra and Rohanee Zapanta to fill up judgeships posts in the Bay Area and in San Diego, respectively.
Ibarra and Zapanta were part of the 13 Superior Court judgeships that Brown filled up before handing over the governorship to fellow Democrat Gavin Newsom.
Audra Ibarra has been appointed to the Superior Court of Santa Clara County, becoming the first Filipino-American woman to be appointed as superior court judge in the Santa Clara County and as well as in the Bay Area.
Ibarra, 49, earned her political science degree from University of California (UC) Berkeley. She was a former assistant U.S. attorney. She was also the deputy chief of the U.S. Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Force. at the U.S.
Rohanee Zapanta, a deputy county public defender since 2005, was appointed to the San Diego County Superior Court.
Zapanta was one of the three women that the outgoing California governor have appointed to judgeships in the San Diego County Superior Court.
1st Fil-Am woman councilor in Artesia
Melissa Ramoso has become the only woman and Filipino American member of the City Council of Artesia. She will be starting her term of office in the backdrop of the exit of fellow Filipino American Victor Manalo who lost his re-election bid.
Ramoso, who received 1,700 votes, will become the city's youngest councilmember and will serve a four-year term.
Malacañang honors Pilipino Workers Center (PWC)
The Los Angeles-based Pilipino Workers Center (PWC) has been conferred the "Banaag Award," in this year's Pamana ng Pilipino Award held in Malacañang, the Philippine's presidential palace.
The PWC, according to the awards committee, "serves as an integral part in the statewide and nationwide movement to uplift the dignity of caregivers, fights for labor protection, and advocates for fair wages and suitable working conditions of Filipino caregivers and domestic workers in Southern California."
The Banaag Award is conferred on Filipino individuals or organizations for their contributions that have significantly benefited or advanced the cause of overseas Filipino communities.
This year's awardees were selected from a total of 96 nominations received by the CFO from 28 countries through 37 Philippine Embassies and Consulates across Asia, North and South America, Africa, Europe and Australia.
The Pamana ng Pilipino Award is given to individuals or groups "exemplifying the talent and industry of the Filipino," and "have brought the country honor and recognition through excellence and distinction in the pursuit of their work or profession."
The awardees, who come from 12 countries and territories, had gone through a 4-stage selection process involving multi-sectoral representation.
FASO's 10th anniversary
The 10th anniversary celebration of the Filipino American Symphony Orchestra (FASO) is undoubtedly a milestone not only for its leadership, musicians and other members but as well as for the entire community.
The only Filipino symphony orchestra outside of the Philippines, the resilient movers of the organization deserve taps on their shoulders for keeping the music and sophistication of this art for present and future generations of Filipino Americans.
Led by conductor and musical director Robert "Bob" Schroder, the orchestra held a concert last November 3 at the historic Alex Theatre in Glendale.
The show was fittingly titled: FASO@10: A Decade of Music, Harmony and Community.
Guest performers included Joey Albert, Pete Avendaño, Joan Cano, Kit Navarro, FASO Children's Ensemble and Alumni, Holy Family Filipino Chorale, Pacific Vocal Artists, Philippine Chamber Singers-Los Angeles and the Waraynon Initiative Network (WIN) Chorale.
Trillanes, Alejano visit LA
In February, Senator Antonio "Sonny" Trillanes held a series of meetings with Filipino American community leaders in Los Angeles and San Francisco.
Among the issues that he discussed during the said meetings were the alleged human rights violations in the Philippines and supposed helplessness of the Philippine government to stop the relentless incursions of China into our territories.
The town hall meetings were organized by the Filipino American Human Rights Alliance (FAHRA) at the Pilipino Workers Center (PWC) building in the LA's historic Filipinotown.
Trillanes said there is nothing wrong with having friendly relations with China but "there should be a line," adding that the government should have filed diplomatic protests whenever it saw its territorial jurisdiction are violated.
As an offshoot of Trillanes' visit, a group of Filipino Americans organized a chapter of Samahang Magdalo in Los Angeles.
In November, Trillanes' opposition ally and fellow military mutineer, Rep. Gary Alejano, came to Los Angeles and inducted the first ever set of officers of the Samahang Magdalo International (US-California Chapter) in the City of Lakewood, a suburb in Los Angeles County.
Gen. Bato comes to LA, triggers protest
Former Philippine National Police (PNP) chief Ronald dela Rosa visited the historic Filipinotown in Los Angeles on Thursday (December 13) and sought the support of Filipino American leaders in southern California for his bid to win a seat in the Senate of the Philippines.
Dela Rosa was primarily hosted by the Rotary Club of the Historic Filipinotown led by its president Macky Fortu.
In his speech, Dela Rosa said he decided to run for a seat in the Philippine Senate so he could help out President Rodrigo Duterte realize his visions for the country.
Two days later, Filipino Americans, separated by their opposing political alliances, faced off in front of a Filipino restaurant in the Historic Filipinotown in Los Angeles last Saturday (December 15).
The tension-filled confrontation prompted Los Angeles City policemen to rush to the scene. Six police cars were deployed and a helicopter was seen hovering above while the commotion was on going.
The members of Malaya Movement, Filipino American Human Rights Alliance and the Samahang Magdalo-USA, which were politically distinct human rights advocacy groups, trooped to the Bahay Kubo Restaurant on Temple Street after they were tipped off that former Philippine National Police (PNP) chief Ronald dela Rosa was coming to a fund-raising Christmas party hosted by a blogger known as Maharlika.
Remedy Medina, Samahang Magdalo-US-California chapter president, said they peacefully dispersed according to the time limit granted in the permit issued to them by the Los Angeles Police Department.
Pinoy church vies for "historical monument status"
A retired Philippine ambassador and career diplomat recently led a group of Filipino Americans in lobbying for the elevation of the Filipino Disciples Christian Church to the status of "historic cultural monument" at the US federal level.
Rodolfo Dumapias joined a group of Filipino Americans at the Los Angeles City Hall last October 26 in a hearing called by the California State Historical Resources Commission.
Dumapias, was born in Manila but came to US when he was a kid with his parents, who were also diplomats, and his siblings. He grew up in Los Angeles and attended junior high, high school and college at the University of California-Los Angeles (UCLA) and University of Southern California (USC) for his graduate studies.
The retired diplomat told the members of the state historical commission that he was a youth leader and an active participant in Filipino-American community affairs in the 1960's. He went on to testify that the
Filipino Christian Church, now called Filipino Disciples
Christian Church, had been instrumental in the establishment of the "social and cultural foundation
upon which a humble ethnic community blossomed into what is now Historic Filipino-town."
According to Dumapias, the founders of the L.A. Philippine Women's Club and its junior unit, the L.A. Philippine Junior Women's Club, were active members of the Filipino Christian Church since its beginning.
The said organization just recently celebrated its 57th founding anniversary.
Vets annual Hollywood march returns to Filipinotown
The annual march that seeks justice for Filipino World War II veterans, which has been known as "Hollywood march for justice," has returned to the historic Filipinotown in Los Angeles.
The City of West Hollywood has refused to issue rally permit to the Justice for Filipino American Veterans (JFAV), the prime mover of the yearly demonstration.
One of the leaders of JFAV leader Art Garcia said the city denied permit to the yearly event due to the supposed "chaos and traffic snarls" that it supposedly create in the areas where the rally passes through.
Despite the change in venue, the march still managed to draw out a large contingent of Filipino American youths, numbering around 300.
The marchers gathered in the morning at MacArthur Park on Wilshire Boulevard. The march snaked through Filipinotown streets and ended at the headquarters of the Search to Involve Pilipino Americans (SIPA) at Temple Street.
SIPA executive director Lyle del Mundo was among those who spoke during an hour-long program inside the SIPA compound.
Garcia said the return of the Justice for Filipino Veterans March at SIPA constituted a full historical cycle for the movement that started in the same place (SIPA headquarters) on December 16, 1998.
RP's Wish Bus 107.5 duplicated in LA
The Philippines' iconic radio bus, known as the Wish Bus 107.5, has been duplicated in Los Angeles — a city known as the world's entertainment capital.
The choice of Filipino American YouTube sensation AJ Rafael as the Wish bus USA's first performer on board provided a somewhat encapsulated message as to the purpose of the gargantuan undertaking.
AJ Rafael performed with three other musicians inside the Wish Bus 107.5 amidst posters of the Philippine Air Lines (PAL) in the backdrop.
Rafael's group was the only band that played inside the Wish Bus 107.5 as the rest of the performers did their acts on the Universal Citywalk's performance stage.
Since then, local artists, particularly Filipino American artists, have guested on the Wish Bush which moves to other places aside from its regular spot along Hollywood Boulevard.

Domestic violence and guns in Mercy Hospital shooting: 'It wasn't about the ring. It was about her leaving him.'
By Morgan Greene
When Juan Lopez showed up at Mercy Hospital & Medical Center, armed with a gun and demanding his former fiancee return an engagement ring, the exchange soon turned deadly.
Killed in the Nov. 19 attack were Lopez's former girlfriend, Tamara O'Neal, an emergency room doctor, Chicago police Officer Samuel Jimenez and pharmacist Dayna Less. After being shot by police, Lopez then shot himself in the head, authorities said.
O'Neal's family had little insight about the gunman. "The only thing I could say for that: She broke off the engagement; he couldn't get over it," the doctor's father, Thomas O'Neal, said.
But Dawn Valenti, a longtime domestic violence advocate, said the Mercy Hospital shooting is just one of many stories, happening every day, involving the intersection of domestic violence and firearms.
"It wasn't about the ring," Valenti said. "It was about her leaving him. And it was also about him having access to those guns."
The outlook is often dire for domestic violence victims.
One in 4 women and 1 in 7 men have been the victim of severe physical violence by an intimate partner, according to the National Domestic Violence Hotline.
Of more than 3,000 homicides involving women in 2010, 39 percent were committed by an intimate partner, according to Bureau of Justice statistics.
Forty percent of women who died as a result of workplace violence in 2016 did so at the hands of domestic partners or relatives, according to Bureau of Labor statistics.
Ninety percent of women who were killed by firearms in high-income countries in 2010 lived in the United States, according to a study on violent death rates in the American Journal of Medicine.
When guns are in the picture, experts say, the likelihood of homicide increases.
"We know in the domestic violence community that the worst time for a woman is when she decides to leave," Valenti said. "That's when she loses her life."

Since the Mercy Hospital shooting, Lopez's history of intimidating behavior has come to light. He threatened to shoot up the Chicago Fire Department Academy nearly five years ago, around the time he was fired for failing to show up to work while facing allegations of "improper conduct" toward women. In 2014, his ex-wife obtained a temporary order of protection against him, alleging that he slept with a pistol under his pillow and had pointed a gun at someone.
Guns are often used as tools of controlling and abusive conduct to keep victims in line, experts say, and even their presence can make it that much more difficult for someone to leave.
"We'll hear about a partner who's sitting in the living room, polishing his gun," said Qudsia Raja, policy director of the National Domestic Violence Hotline. "Or we'll hear about a man sleeping with his gun. The presence of a gun is threatening."
(TRIBUNE)
Threads of themselves
Over the last year, as the #MeToo movement offered survivors across the nation a platform to share their stories of sexual harassment and misconduct, daily headlines blasted names of the latest movie mogul, politician or CEO to be accused.
The National Domestic Violence Hotline and its youth-focused program loveisrespect saw an "unprecedented increase" in calls and chats even though few high-profile cases involved domestic violence.
CEO Katie Ray-Jones said she partially attributes the 40 percent increase in contact volume to the #MeToo movement.
"We're not hearing from our contacts who are specifically saying the #MeToo movement prompted me to reach out," Ray-Jones said. "What we know historically is that victims of domestic violence often see threads of themselves in media stories and then that prompts them to pick up the phone and contact us."

But Deborah Tuerkheimer, a professor of law at Northwestern University who has written about domestic violence cases, said the movement could be doing more to raise awareness.
"I have been somewhat struck by the fact that in this #MeToo movement, sexual violence has really remained the focus and domestic violence has been on the sidelines," Tuerkheimer said. "And that this hasn't yet opened up into a wider conversation about gender violence, front and center."
Tuerkheimer said domestic violence often erupts into public consciousness when there are victims in addition to or other than the intimate partner.
The day after the Mercy Hospital shooting, Amanda Pyron, executive director of the Chicago Metropolitan Battered Women's Network, said the state of Illinois' Domestic Violence Helpline had double the average daily number of calls.
"Oftentimes, folks think, oh gosh, I'm next," Pyron said. "If it happened to a doctor at Mercy Hospital, what's to say it won't happen to me?"
Believed on their own merit
The majority of homicides recorded by the FBI's Supplementary Homicide Report involved male victims, but more women than men were murdered by an intimate partner, according to Bureau of Justice statistics. In 2010, 39 percent were committed by an intimate partner. Of the homicides involving men, only 3 percent were committed by an intimate partner.
The national hotline conducted its own survey over an eight-week period in 2014 to analyze calls or chats regarding firearms.
More than 65 percent surveyed believed their partner could kill them. Nearly 16 percent had partners with access to guns, and of those, 22 percent "said their partners had threatened to use a firearm to hurt the victim, their children, other family members or friends, household pets, or to commit suicide." Ten percent said their partner had fired a gun during an argument.
When former Baltimore Ravens running back Ray Rice assaulted his then-fiancee in 2014, the national hotline was "so overwhelmed with calls and contacts that we had to do a whole rehaul of our technology," policy director Raja said.
Most recently, the hotline saw a 14 percent increase in contact volume following the Nov. 2 shooting at a Tallahassee yoga studio. The week that followed, there were 365 reports of firearms in a relationship, from callers or chatters.
Watching these incidents play out on TV or in the news can be like having a mirror held up, Raja said: "Whether they're still in that questioning period or a light bulb goes off," people in an abusive relationship realize "there's a word for this: domestic violence."
In addition, there is often a connection between mass shootings and domestic violence. According to an analysis of 156 mass shootings in the U.S. from 2009 to 2016 by the advocacy group Everytown for Gun Safety, 54 percent were related to domestic or family violence.
The danger of guns in relationships is that "they're also used to coerce victims into particular types of behavior, to coerce them into silence," Pyron said.
"If an abuser is threatening his victim with a gun, a victim can't show up in court and show bruises from that," Pyron said. "They have to be believed on their own merit."
Falling through the cracks
Lopez was licensed to carry a concealed weapon when he went on the shooting rampage, police said. He had no criminal record and held a valid firearm owner's identification card and a concealed carry license. He legally bought at least four guns in the past five years.
In seeking an emergency protection order against Lopez in 2014, Lopez's wife described his behavior as causing her "much anxiety and fear."
"The volatile environment is also affecting my son," she wrote. "He is acting more emotional than normal. I fear that my safety is in jeopardy. The harassment is stressful and distracting."
The order of protection issued by a judge was terminated about two weeks later. Lopez's ex-wife couldn't be reached for comment.
Tuerkheimer, the NU professor, said identifying domestic violence can be challenging. If someone has been convicted of a domestic violence crime or if a restraining order has been filed against him or her, he or she is generally prohibited from possessing a firearm. But there are ways people can fall through the cracks, she said.
Pyron said one of the major projects of the Battered Women's Network in 2019 is working to ensure FOID card removal when there are active orders of protection.
Sometimes, victims don't know what steps to take for protection. According to the 2014 survey conducted by the national hotline, only 34 percent of those surveyed were aware that the court may be able to order their partners to surrender their firearms and ammunition.
But even when victims do everything an advocate would recommend, it's impossible to overpower a bullet.

"You look at someone as accomplished as Dr. O'Neal," Pyron said. "She did everything in a textbook way that we would tell a victim to do. She had friends supporting her. She left a relationship. And yet she still died. The system really failed her."
Early this year, Claire VanLandingham, 27, was shot and killed in Lake Forest in what police believed was a murder-suicide committed by her ex-boyfriend. The couple had broken up months before.
VanLandingham, a Navy officer and dentist, was vocal in raising awareness about domestic abuse. She appeared in a 2016 video for a Take Back the Night march against domestic violence and sexual abuse. "In a society so violent, have you ever been afraid to walk alone at night?" she said in the video. "We don't think you should have to."

"This is such a senseless tragedy," her brother Ben VanLandingham told the Tribune. "She deserved so much better than this."
There are still unknowns about the relationship between O'Neal and Lopez, but as more is learned, advocates hope the conversation about domestic violence continues.
"There's usually warning signs," Raja said. "I think that's a conversation we need to be having as we're talking about workplace policies. I think about that a lot. You could fire somebody who has exhibited this kind of behavior, but how do new employers track records of that?"
Pyron said the focus needs to be on the behavior of the perpetrator.
"The question isn't, 'Why did she die, why didn't she realize she was with a bad guy and get out of the relationship?' " Pyron said. "It's not on her to make sure she survives. It's on him to make sure he doesn't murder her. So how do we change the patterns we have in our culture to make sure women are treated with respect and make sure nonviolent behavior is the norm for all genders?"
Valenti, the domestic violence advocate, asked: "Where do we go from here?

All the Crooked Saints
September 20, 2018 Uncategorizedlucindastein
All the Crooked Saints by Maggie Stiefvater
311 pages/hardcover
What I love about magic realism is how the realistic aspect of the story pulls you in and allows the arising magical qualities to become so much more believable. All the Crooked Saints takes place in 1962 in southeastern Colorado in the fictional town of Bicho Raro. Here the Soria family has the ability to perform miracles.
But there are phases of the miracle, and the first miracle is not the end of the journey. The person often gets stuck midway, (like we do in life). In limbo, the person retains strange characteristics, like the giant man who towers over buildings and a girl whose tears continually rain over her. The Soria saints are forbidden to help the "pilgrims" who must work through the rest of their miracles.
One of the best parts of the story: I love how the three Soria cousins, Beatriz, Daniel, and Joaquin, create a renegade radio station in the middle of the high desert, broadcasting their illegal signal in the dark of night. At first, the radio station serves Joaquin's creative desire to be a DJ known as Diablo Diablo. But as time passes, the trio uses the radio to work their own miracles for the pilgrims living at Bicho Raro.
But it's not only the pilgrims who confront darkness in their lives. Even the Sorias are faced with confronting their own darkness. This is a unique, magical story of three young people who break the taboo of helping others. In doing so, they experience the miracle of discovering themselves and where they fit in among the saints and pilgrims of Bicho Raro.
The author describes southeastern Colorado to the point the reader can feel the arid heat on his arms amid the floating scent of tangy sagebrush. Even more important—-in the skilled hands of Maggie Stiefvater, the characters spring to life, like flowers blooming in the high desert!

Cassia sieberiana D. C. [Caesalpiniaceae] though widely used in traditional medicine as an analgesic in dysmenorrhoea, ulcer, general body pains and in veterinary medicine, there is no report on its standardization. Objective: To establish standards for a partial monograph preparation. Materials and methods: Standardization followed British Pharmacoepoeia Standardization methods. Plant materials were collected and air dried for five days and then oven dried at 52°C for one hour and milled. A quantity of C. sieberiana powdered root was mounted separately in each of 10% iodine, chloral hydrate, phloroglucinol in conc HCl and Sudan III and examined under the microscope to identify the cell types and cell inclusions present. Mounted slides were photographed using digital camera Olympus OIL-8CC. Total ash value, acid insoluble ash, solvent extractives, pH and phytochemical analysis of extracts followed methods as in British Pharmacoepia (BP) 1990. Results: Transverse section (TS) of the root bark shows outermost layer of cork, beneath which is a layer of parenchyma cells and a ring of stone cells. The longitudinal section (LS) of the root bark conforms to the same tissue arrangement. Calcium oxalate crystals are pyramidal shaped with base diagonals measuring 40 to 160μ. Starch grains are oval; length ranging from 60 to 180μ and diameter from 40 to120μ. Total ash; 7.43-8.37, Acid insoluble ash; 4.80‑5.50% w/w. Ethanol(70%) extractive; 14.28-14.30% w/w; Chloroform-water extractive; 15.99-19.98%w/w, pH (1% w/v at 28°C); 4.88. Constituents: Anthraquinones, Saponins, Sterols, Steroidal glycosides, Tannins, Triterpenes. Conclusion: Established standards can form the basis for monograph compilation.
Key words: Cassia sieberiana, micromorphology, root, standardization.

Owwie! My Tummy Hurts!
October 25, 2011 by Jaded Gamer	in Blogs
Onslaught is behind us, and once again ahead, and has given me the opportunity to play my Ogre Kingdoms army 5-6 games into the new Army Book. As some of you may have heard… I did not do as well as my co-host. In fact… I did not do as well as the other 4 people who I went to the tournament with. So yea, it makes me think how much of this came down to either luck or the Orges being shit. In truth, it's neither. If I had to pick one thing that was the primary cause of my poor performance it would have to be my list.
I had it planned out so perfectly!!
My list was good in the way that it was as good as it could be with what I have. The truth is that I already own big chuck of Ogre models of all types, however I do not have an army that takes advantage of 8th edition tactics like Hordes. So before I get into what I think about the new Ogres book I will give you a quick breakdown of my games since the new list was built.
Practice Game: I played against a monster-mashy Dark Elf list that was being played by a relative WarHammer newb. I beat him so hard and so massively that he is literally selling his army because of the shame. He didn't even show up to Onslaught as he'd planned and paid for because of how utterly his face was smashed.
❤ James
We roll up Blood or Glory and deployed our armies quickly due to the low model count. The game was over by turn 3 due to some rookie mistakes that James made in the first turn. Magic was not there on my side because I only took a level 2 Firebelly, but I expected this to happen since I was playing a killer list instead of a magic heavy list. His BSB was run down, his horde broke to a Giant, his Knights were wrecked by a Stonehorn… all in the next few turns. So when the game ended I felt pretty damn good about my list.
I R DUM.
Game 1: I drew Nick and his Chaos Warrior army and could not have been happier. There had been some shit talk, if you can call his simple repeating of insults he'd heard other people utter delivered in the form of inane babbling "shit talk"… So yea 🙂 When I beat him in a rather clear manner I was even happier than before with my list. The first few turns were about how we both expected. Some shooting doing damage, some characters killing smaller stuff, and some back and forth that kept the game interesting. Where I was able to rally, Nick was unable to keep his line intact. I was unable to hit my secondary objective, but each unit performed just as well as I had expected.The Stonehorn was able to crush a unit by itself, the Mournfang kept the table split because he didn't want to engage them, and the big units hit hard and did the right kind of damage. There were no real surprises here since things went my way.
So as you can expect, things were looking up.
Game 2: I drew Ryan and his Daemons of Chaos army. This game was able to convince me that a 5+ Ward save is better than any other save in the game… which is a whole other conversation. The game was going as I suspected right up until I watched each unit simply fail at their jobs one after another in the exact opposite way that they succeeded in earlier games. The big strength values meant nothing, the armor meant nothing, and the magic meant nothing… the monsters just died and the cav melted. I couldn't win a combat which ment that I couldn't do what needed to be done to beat the Daemons… cut their numbers down to a manageable size so that they are unable to win combats so utterly. Which is even harder when you are facing a horde of 40 Bloodletters. ICK!
Pictured Above: What was left of my Ogres…
Needless to say Ryan had a strong list, one that was very similar to Nathan's list in fact, that was able to put my Ogres to sleep in glorious fashion. I was narrowly able to avoid a massacre by the skin of my teeth, but the failure pointed out some very clear problems with my list and how it was not supporting the faults of the army. Between Leadership, initiative, and Armor… the list simply falls flat against a S5 horde.
Game 3: I drew Armin and his Lizardmen. A typical Lizardmen list with a Slann and various Monsters along with a few good fighting units. He took 3 Stegadons and was able to simply pound my army into the dirt. Lore of Life kept his monsters alive and Flesh to Stone kept his rank and file from dying. His magic was good and I was utterly unable to compete in that part of the game. My biggest problem was the fact that I was unable to make a single charge that was not a freebie. This was reflected in my last game as well, but it showed another huge failing in the ogre army, which is that they need to get the charge as often as possible.
This game was a good fight all the way to the end, but after falling behind so quickly I was constantly unable to turn away his momentum. By the end of the game he'd tabled me to a man and was able to gain his secondary objectives as well. Pointing out just how flat the Ogre magic phase was without a level 4 putting out a +6 to cast with a Grut's Sickle.
Game 4: I drew Garret and his Dark Elves and thought to myself that this was a free win after the way I'd crushed James in my practice game. However, I was proven wrong again exactly the same way I was in the previous games. I was completely unable to stop his magic due to the way he can push power dice similar to a Slann. Pit of Shades exploited my low initiative and wiped out my Mournfang and a pile of Ogres, my pointless armor did nothing to lessen the toll of his shooting, and try as I might… I could not charge until it was too late. Mindrazor had its way with my Tyrant and BSB, my magic did nothing at all, and my monsters melted as they had in previous games.
Leaving me with a familiar feeling…
Take 2!!
Conclusion: Ogres are not bad by any stretch and the new book has given them a lot to work with in the sense of competition that they lacked in the last edition. After having finished these games I feel that I can now give some advice that other players might find useful. Of course, this will be done in 'bullet form' for your convenience.
Your BSB must be in a Stubborn unit at all times. Trust me. This is not something you wanna screw around with since having that unit break means your 180pt character is left to die instantly. I don't care who has the Crown of Command, but you need it.
Leadbelchers are Awesome. Take as many as you can as often as you can. They shoot far and very dependably now AND! they are still ogres when it comes to slugging it out in combat. I have a unit of 4 and I can tell you that it's just not enough.
You will require a horde. This is something that I found to be the case in almost all of my games. Ogres can do a lot of damage compared to some armies out there, but you need to be able to do that over multiple turns. It won't matter that you're stubborn unless you can deal with 40 Bloodletters over the span of 3-4 rounds of combat.
You need to get the charge. So much of the hitting power of these units are in their Ogre Charge special rule. It makes all the difference between winning and loosing 9 times out of 10. DON'T FORGET ABOUT YOUR IMPACT HITS OR SPECIAL RULES!!
You need a Slaughtermaster. The Ogre lore is pretty middle of the road compared to the standard 8 lores of magic. It does not have a RIP spell and its BigBang spell is dependant on your enemy having low initiative to be really effective. Bubbles are your friend and Grut's Sickle is a must if you want to compete with the Magical Big Dogs like Elves and Lizards.
Retard-o-Cats are still Retarded. They're good, but not amazing when it comes to the rules. I like them no better than I did before the tournament… and I hated them before. With 3 wounds and T4 they die pretty damn fast even with a 2+ save. Pray for the charge or watch them flop. I miss Rhinox…
Killy Tyrants are Awesome. There is no getting around this point. My Tyrant was the star of almost every game when he got into combat. The problem is that he was not enough to hold the army up all by himself. So you will need to swap out some things in order to make him stubborn.
The difference between HW, 2xHW, and Ironfist is meaningless. I know people may scoff at this point… but fuck 'em. It's all in the eye of the gamer. I made ward saves and armor saves on occasion, I died just as fast with or without it, the extra attacks both won and lost combats for me… Use whatever you have modeled and worry about something else.
So here's to the future!
A 15 model Ledbelcher Horde with a Stubborn Tyrant, BSB, and Slaughtermaster which can fire 12D6 shots a turn and deals around 40 attacks a turn with Impacts/Stomps. If only I could get something to increase their Initiative…
It gives you WINGS!! But not flight...

Previous / McLaren explains lack of Mercedes branding Next / The core faults Ferrari must fix in 2021
Horner: Verstappen Mercedes' first choice if Hamilton quits
Feb 16, 2021, 9:05 AM
Red Bull believes Max Verstappen would be "at the top of the list" for Mercedes if Lewis Hamilton quits after 2021, confirming the Dutchman's Formula 1 contract includes a performance clause.
Mercedes announced last week that seven-time world champion Hamilton had signed a new one-year contract to remain at the team for 2021, leading to speculation about his future beyond the end of the season.
Should Hamilton decide to step away from F1 at the end of the year, it has been suggested that Verstappen could be an option for Mercedes to replace the Briton.
Although Verstappen's Red Bull contract runs to the end of the 2023 season, it has been common in the past for drivers to have performance-related clauses in their contract. One example came in 2014 when Sebastian Vettel triggered an exit clause at Red Bull to join Ferrari for 2015.
Red Bull has previously hinted that Verstappen's contract may include such a clause, but it was confirmed by team principal Christian Horner on Monday during a select media roundtable.
"All drivers have safeguards within performance, and the reality is that as there has always been," Horner said.
"There is an element of performance related to Max's contract. I'm not going to go into what that is. It doesn't relate to the power unit in any way, it's just a binary performance at a certain measurement in time.
"As with all these things, though, to force a driver that doesn't want to be there, it's more about relationships than contracts. You only pull a contract out of a drawer when you've got a problem, in my experience.
"The relationship with Max is very strong. He believes in the project, he believes in what we're doing. He sees the investment that Red Bull is making, very much with the recent commitment on the powertrain, he believes in the people within the team, working within the team.
"I'm confident that we won't need to refer to any contractual clauses. I think that it will ultimately be down to us to deliver a competitive car. That's what he wants, that's what we want. He needs that, we need that.
"So in that respect, we're both in an identical situation."

Asked if he was at all worried that Mercedes could make an approach for Verstappen if Hamilton were to leave, Horner said it was logical he would be at the top of its shortlist.
"I'm sure that should Lewis decide to stop then Max would have naturally be the driver at the top of the list," Horner said.
"But they also have George Russell. They've also got other drivers obviously available to them. And I think again, as I say, it's all down to relationships and us forming a competitive car.
"There's no guarantees for 2022. It's a complete clean sheet of paper. If there's going to be a significant mix up of the order, one would assume it's going to be with that big regulation change."
Verstappen signed a new long-term agreement with Red Bull at the start of 2020, committing to the squad for the following four seasons.
After becoming the youngest race winner in F1 history on debut for Red Bull in 2016, Verstappen has scored a further nine wins for the squad, and finished third in the drivers' championship for each of the past two seasons.
Mercedes has yet to confirm any of its driver plans beyond 2021. Both Hamilton and teammate Valtteri Bottas are out of contract at the end of the season, while junior driver George Russell will also be a free agent once his Williams deal expires.

Millions of rand allegedly laundered by a Gupta associate' Eric Wood' were used to sponsor the awards that named presidential hopeful Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma the South African of the Year two years ago.
The South African of the Year Awards are run by the Gupta family-owned The New Age Company.
The money-laundering allegations were made by Wood's former business partner' Litha Nyhonyha' in an affidavit.
As part of winning the award Dlamini-Zuma walked away with R250'000 in prize money in the prestigious event in 2015. This is the only public indication that Dlamini-Zuma received money from the Guptas in an award which was handed over by President Jacob Zuma.
Dlamini-Zuma's spokeswoman' Febe Potgieter-Gqubule' said the former African Union Commission chairperson donated all her prize money to charity' the Thusanani Foundation. The Foundation confirmed this.
The awards were also attended by Zuma loyalists including Free State premier Ace Magashule' ministers Mosebenzi Zwane' Faith Muthambi and Malusi Gigaba and ANC Youth League leader Collen Maine' a fierce Gupta family defender.
The R10 million which allegedly sponsored the event has since November last year become a bone of contention in a court action between Regiments Capital and one of its former directors and Gupta associate' Eric Wood.
Wood was one of the Gupta associates to whom the confidential cabinet master plan to avoid a ratings downgrade was leaked by short-lived finance minister Des Van Rooyen's advisors in 2015.
Is the end of Zuma in sight?
Wood is the chief executive officer at Trillian Capital Partners' owned by Salim Essa' another close associate of the Guptas and the president's son' Duduzane Zuma.
The legal battle emanates from Wood's departure from Regiments and his partnering with Essa.
The directors of Regiments' Litha Nyhonyha and Niven Pillay' have laid criminal charges at Bramley Police Station relating to alleged money laundering involving R17-million in payments made to TNA as a sponsorship for the 2015 awards.
Nyhonyha argued in his affidavit last year in their attempts to remove Wood from Regiments' that R17-million was paid using fictitious invoices by Wood under the pretext that Regiments was placing adverts with TNA. Approached for comment' Wood said the R10m was meant to sponsor the 2015 event and that there was a signed agreement in place.
It was baffling that Regiments was now claiming it did not know. "You will recall that the ongoing dispute between Eric Wood and his erstwhile Regiments partners' Niven Pillay and Litha Nyhonyha' is essentially a shareholder dispute.
"In order to pursue their own agenda' Niven Pillay and Litha Nyhonyha' have sought to air their dispute in the press as a device to discredit Dr Wood' who has preferred to leave the matter in the hands of the judiciary'" Trillian said in a statement.
But an insider familiar with the ongoing battle between Wood and Regiments' said neither of the two other executives were invited to the event' nor was the company's logo on the banners at the event.
Nyhonyha said: "The matter about which you inquiring relates to the issues raised in our court papers in the ongoing legal action against Mr Wood. Therefore I am advised that it is not prudent to comment on the matters that are before the court'" said Nyhonyha.
Relations between Wood and his former business associates Nyhonyha and Pillay soured when the latter two refused to sell a 50% stake in Regiments to the Guptas. Nyhonyha said in his court papers that the company had no choice but to remove Wood after finding evidence of wrong-doing and unlawful conduct.
Nyhonyha claimed in the court papers Wood and Gupta-linked executive Ashok Narayan conspired in a string of e-mails on June 4 to create paperwork legitimising movement of the money. Copies of the e-mails are attached to the affidavit.
Nyhonyha claimed Wood sent Narayan' a former employee at Sahara Computers' three invoices amounting to R5-million each from Regiments to Technology Procurement Holdings (Techpro) for professional services that were never rendered.
He claimed a day before the invoices were sent to Narayan' he had forwarded Wood a signed business agreement between the two companies. He also sent "corresponding invoices" from The New Age for the same amount to Regiments for advertising.
TNA has previously declined to comment on the claims and had not responded to requests for comment on Thursday.

Pagano Addresses Sunday's Turnovers
Last updated on Tuesday, November 25, 2014
(Indianapolis, IN) - The Colts got the win on Sunday but it wasn't pretty and Chuck Pagano says there's one big thing the team needs to work on from here on out saying "we can't have turnovers like we did Sunday."
The Colts had six fumbles in the game but were able to top the Jacksonville Jaguars 23-3.
Pagano also addressed the mini-controversy of the Colts throwing two passes to Reggie Wayne with under two minutes to go and up 20 saying "I made that play call," and "Everything he gets, he earns." Wayne's late two completions gave him three on the game to extend his NFL record of consecutive games with at least three receptions to 81.
Former Colts tight end Ben Utecht says he is suffering from long term memory loss. Utecht suffered multiple concussions in his NFL career and says if he could go back he should have not played through them.
Utcecht spent four seasons with the Colts before playing with the Bengals.


Manuel Barroso, the outgoing head of the European Commission, remains hopeful about Turkish-EU ties even though very little progress has been made in recent years in Ankara's bid for membership.
Judging by his remarks to Cansu Çamlıbel in Sept. 29's Hürriyet Daily News, Barroso also believes in the growing importance of these ties.
"Take any major challenge we are faced with – from the economic crisis and energy secu-rity to migration policy or terrorism – Turkey appears as a strategic partner for the Europe-an Union and as part of the solution," Barroso said when asked if he was worried that the EU might lose Turkey.
Jean-Claude Juncker, who is replacing Barroso as head of the European Commission, is known to be less than keen on Turkey's EU accession. But there are truths in his predeces-sor's words which he, too, will have to consider.
Developments in this part of the world – from Ukraine to the Middle East – are of vital in-terest to Europe also and are forcing Turkey and EU members into closer cooperation in the areas listed by Barroso. Juncker will have no choice but to factor this in no matter what he feels about Turkey. The EU he leads is, after all, no longer the EU of former happy days.
Meanwhile, the government of Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoğlu has announced that it will do its utmost to try and re-energize dormant Turkish-EU ties with regards to Ankara's membership bid. This sounds good but doing so will require a return to the reformist path, especially with regards to democracy and human rights.
The prospects for that, however, do not look good at present. According to a release by Human Rights Watch on Sept. 29, Turkey is undergoing a "worrying rollback" on human rights under the rule of President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, which involves serious curbs on judicial independence and media freedom.
Barroso also expressed concern in this area during his interview with Çamlıbel and point-ed specifically to the sudden and unexpected recent change to the Internet law, which he noted was adopted without any consultation with concerned stakeholders.
These words of Barroso's represents the crux of the matter if the Ankara is genuinely in-terested in re-energizing it ties with the EU with a view to speeding up its accession process. That accession – whichever form it takes eventually – will remain a remote possibility if Turkey cannot live up to democratic standards.
On the other hand, the growing mutual strategic interests Turkey and the EU share, and the need they may feel for each other in this regard do not provide the right catalyst for Ankara's membership bid. Saudi Arabia and Egypt are not EU candidate countries but have a growing strategic importance for Europe, and vice versa, given what is happening in their region.
Put another way, if Ankara is relying on the strategic dimension to unblock its EU path, it is seriously mistaken. The way back to that path is through enhanced democracy and hu-man rights, and Turkey is not progressing, but clearly regressing in those areas.

What a find. This tractor was restored a few years ago and is in good enough condition to show. She is painted in the correct rustic red and sits on 4 brand new tyres. A new clutch and radiotor have just been fitted plus a servce including new plugs. The engine holds a 40lbs oil pressure top speed 30mph if you are brave. These tractors were far ahead of their time hvaing 3 point linkage, PTO drive and belt drive high and low ratios giving 6 forward and 2 reverse gears. Comes with a reproduction workshop manual. They were made between 1947 and 1953 and this example runs on petrol (to start) and then onto TVO.

In today's post, we'll cover exactly why it's important to create a dedicated Pinterest board for your blog posts and how your business can benefit. Let's get started!
Having one central location for all of your blog posts is beneficial for new and old followers alike because the will be able to browse all of you blog posts at one time and in one location.
Yes, having these followers go to your blog on your website is ideal, but browsing your dedicated Pinterest board is sometimes easier for users to browse all at once, especially if you have a lot of blog posts.
We think this board should be at least one of your top boards, if not the first board on your profile.
If you aren't already using a program to automate your Pinterest pins, you should definitely start. One program we like is Tailwind.
With Tailwind, you can schedule pins to go out to the group boards where you are a member. By having a Pinterest board dedicated to your blog posts, you can set up your blog board to send pins to all of your group boards over a period of time, instead of manually pinning to these boards.
This will help you spread out promoting your own content, so your the group board followers are inundated with a bunch of your pins at the same time. It also helps you save time pinning in general, so it's a win-win!
If you're using Pinterest to grow your traffic (which you should if you aren't!), new followers will be coming to your profile every day.
These followers may not be familiar with your brand, so having one location where they can see what type of content you share on your website will give them an idea if your content is something they want to follow.
This will help narrow in on your exact target audience, since you will ideally be sharing content they will enjoy. Narrowing in on your target audience will create a higher conversion rate for your services or products, since you are creating content that you know they will enjoy, read, share, and hopefully purchase.
If you are creating a dedicated Pinterest board for blog posts, hopefully you are adding new blog posts to your website on a routine basis.
Continuously pinning your blog posts to your dedicated Pinterest board shows your followers that you are always adding fresh content to your website.
Adding fresh content to your website helps you rank higher in the search engines, but it also gives your followers assurance that you take your business seriously and that you always want to provide new content for them to read.
People often look to your sidebar as a place to find your social media buttons. While many businesses are now deciding to not have a sidebar (us included!) some do still have one.
What's important to remember about your sidebar is to make sure it is being used purposefully.
One way to purposefully use your sidebar is to showcase your dedicated blog post Pinterest board.
This will encourage readers to follow you on Pinterest and pin your content to their account, meaning even more traffic to your website!
Pinterest is not just a social platform for DIY and food bloggers. People use Pinterest as a search engine so you should always be thinking about how you can utilize PInterest to reach your target audience.

Crestwood Lake, the debut novel from Mark R. Vogel, is an impressive effort for a first time novelist. It is, at the same time, a unique take on horror fiction and an exploration of classic horror themes. Crestwood Lake is not only the setting of the tale but it's main character, the different locales and characters part of a living and breathing whole. Due to the plot structure, which incorporates what are essentially short stories into a novel, the pacing is a bit uneven, but when the narrative focuses in the later stages of the book there's no stopping reading until the climactic battle is finished.
The town of Crestwood Lake is located in New England, its roots dating back to colonial days and notorious Witch Trials of pre-United States America. The hauntings and horrors of the novel can be traced to the Puritan settlers who left Salem after its famous trials were ended. The legacies of those intolerant days manifest in contemporary times in the form of witches, demons and possibly Lucifer himself. The early stages of the book are told through different first-person narratives, often from the point-of-view of doomed characters. This adds an interesting element of peril to the story, as the first-person usually indicates a character has survived the tale, but here the reader never knows.
The idea of Crestwood Lake as the main character of the story is its most interesting and successful element. The different locations throughout the city, from the diner and local bar, to the church, wine store, individual houses and the lake itself are vividly rendered and clear in the mind's eye. There are excellent specific characters, as well, though just a few get a full backstory and personality. The stories that diverge from the main plot deal with characters that are, typically, only present in the story for the short term, and by necessity, there's isn't a lot to those characters.
The main characters are interesting and sympathetic and well worth investing in. Captain of the local police, Butch Morgan, is an interesting blend of old-school tough guy cop and an empathetic, caring defender of his town. His friend and local historian Gil is a fun character: a retired writer and teacher and inveterate skirt-chaser. The two characters play off of each other extremely well, almost seeming to have the rapport of loving but always bickering long married couple. Potential love interest Vicki and the villain Van Haden are similarly strong characters that make interesting acrs through the novel.
Though the short story asides are not as strong as the main story, they don't lose the reader's attention. They may drift a bit but they are strong individual tales and, when the story comes fully together, do serve in setting up a strong horror tale. From haunted houses to escaped mental patients, witches to demons to the devil, Crestwood Lake is a classic horror story with modern sensibilities that has a little something for just about any reader.

Given their size and general lack of available resources, it's important that small and medium-sized businesses place a heightened emphasis on deploying and utilizing backup and recovery software. Most SMBs can only tolerate minimal downtime, meaning decision-makers must ensure data is not only protected against disaster but can be recovered quickly and easily.
In its latest Small Business Disaster Preparedness Study, SMB solutions provider Sage found that many smaller companies in the United States are prioritizing data backup and recovery practices. However, that doesn't mean they are immune to the effects of data disasters. To the contrary, SMBs could still be doing more to protect themselves, according to the report.
While 94 percent of respondents told researchers they make it a point to back up critical information, about 60 percent only do so on-site. When protecting information, backing it up on-site is only part of what needs to be done. Instead, companies should be taking information off-site to fully protect it.
"Backing up on-site may not be sufficient to protect small businesses from natural disasters – particularly if the business is located in an area prone to earthquakes, hurricanes, fires, or flooding – or more common crises, such as theft or hardware malfunction," said Sage executive vice president and general manager Connie Certusi in a statement.
A recent Business 2 Community report also highlighted the importance of data backup and recovery within the SMB sector. Though some may think of such processes as expensive and time consuming, they generally don't have to be if approached in the appropriate manner, the news provider stated.

Winter in USA: 'Winter needs a hero' by Nissan
The 2014 Nissan Rogue comes standard with a four-cylinder engine that some reviewers say offers adequate power and decent acceleration. However, others write that the 2014 Rogue could use a bit more power. A continuously variable transmission (CVT) is standard, and receives criticism from reviewers, who say that while it performs better at faster speeds, it can be excessively noisy, and it transmits vibrations into the cabin. While critics aren't fond of the CVT, many note that it helps the Rouge earn excellent fuel economy for the class.
Nissan says it expects the Rogue to get up to 26/33 mpg city/highway. When it comes to the Rogue's handling, some reviewers say that you can get better driving dynamics with a competitor like the Ford Escape. However, they say the Rogue offers a more comfortable ride than rivals like the Chevrolet Equinox and Toyota RAV4. Test drivers like the Rouge's strong brakes and say its steering is well-weighted, but numb.
The 2014 Nissan Rogue is the one of the few compact SUVs that seats up to seven when equipped with an available third-row seat.
The Nissan Rogue's front seats get high marks from reviewers who say its zero-gravity technology reduces fatigue and maintains comfort. Still, critics say the optional third row is too small for most adults and children, and some write that buyers in need of a third row should consider a midsize SUV like the Nissan Pathfinder.

The Nissan Patrol Challenge reached its grand finale today with a new Guinness World Record set by the unstoppable Hero of All Terrain. In the presence of His Excellency Dr. Ghanem Alhajiri, Chairman of Sharjah International Airport, Nissan Patrol became the holder of the "heaviest object pulled by any production vehicle" Guinness World Record and notched up another historic milestone for illustrious heritage. The event, held at Sharjah International Airport, United Arab Emirates, saw an unmodified production Nissan Patrol haul a 170.9 ton cargo plane, inclusive of weight of the plane, fuel and the cargo for over 50 meters, smashing the previous record by 15 tons.
Because Nissan Middle East always aims at exceeding their customer's expectations, the winning idea of 'pulling a cargo plane' was taken one step further to break a world record.
The record attempt was supported by Sharjah International Airport and held under the patronage of His Excellency Sheikh Abdullah Bin Mohammed Al Thani, Chairman of Civil Aviation of Sharjah. In order to express its thanks for its invaluable support, Nissan shared this accolade with Sharjah International Airport.
His Excellency Dr. Ghanem Alhajiri, said: "Sharjah has an increasing role to play in international enterprise in the Middle East and Nissan's selection of Sharjah International Airport as part of a Guinness World Record is further evidence of the growing business importance of the emirate. We congratulate Nissan on its achievement and look forward to its future innovative campaigns."
Commenting on this iconic moment, Mr. Samir Cherfan, Managing Director, Nissan Middle-East said: "Today Nissan celebrates another landmark day in the Middle East with its second Guinness World Record in eight months. When we began this project we encouraged the people of the Middle East to dream up the next and ultimate challenge for the Hero of All Terrain, Nissan Patrol. The overwhelming response has been the inspiration for today's historic events and we thank all who participated and His Excellency and the Sharjah International Airport for their priceless cooperation.
"The Guinness World Record for Nissan Patrol achieved here motivates us to ensure we deliver 'Innovation that Excites' in everything we do in the Middle East region."
'Nissan Patrol Challenge' was launched in 2012 and invited the region's people to share their great ideas of how they have dreamt of using this iconic vehicle online. Encouraging fans to design an innovative test for the Patrol and give themselves a chance of winning an once-in-a-lifetime trip to Japan and other great prizes.
The result of this successful competition resulted in today's Guinness World Record when Nissan Patrol comfortably dragged the Ilyushin Il-76 with a laden weight of 170.9 tons. In keeping with the indomitable Hero of All Terrain's reputation, the Ilyushin Il-76 is known as one of the world's toughest cargo planes, designed to be able to deliver cargo and take-off and land to some of the world's most extreme environments.

IHIT investigating suspicious death in Abbotsford
by Staff on May 11, 2015, 05:05am. PDT
The Integrated Homcide Team has taken over the investigation after a man found severely injured in Abbotsford last night died.
Just after 11pm, the man was found on Lonzo road, just off Sumas Way. Cbl Ian Macdonald with Abbotsford Police says they can't say for sure that it's a homicide.
"Certainly we believe this to be a suspicious death, and that's what APD and IHIT will investigate. We can't conclude that this was a homicide but certainly we're investigating and gathering evidence as if it were."
Macdonald says it's too early on to be giving any details about how the man may have come to be there. All they'll say for now is that he was "severely injured". The victim was a white man in his 30s.
