Recruiting key to UNOH men's basketball success
Sports, Top Stories
By Jose Nogueras - jnogueras@aimmediamidwest.com
With the signing of Lima Central Catholic graduate De'jhon "Biggz"Johnson last week, University of Northwestern Ohio head basketball coach Caleb Williams said he feels this is another piece of the puzzle to returning the Racers to their winning ways in 2020-21.
Johnson is the latest major recruit to commit to UNOH and he joins big men Ottawa-Glandorf's Ben Westrick and Cincinnati's Hunter Bode, a transfer from the University of Cumberlands, this year and this has Williams optimistic that this trio will blend in with a team that returns a host of talent and it will translate into victories.
In his first three-years, Williams has posted a 35-56 overall record and he looking to turn things around this upcoming year with the players he has been able to assemble during the last three years.
"It's been an interesting journey," Williams said. "I was 25 when I was hired so I was blessed to get an early opportunity. You have to learn a lot. How to manage a staff. How to manage a program and it has been a learning experience but we are trending in the right direction. Our record might not show it but with the quality of wins we had in the second half of the season last year I do like the direction we are heading."
Early injuries hampered the Racers' efforts but the emergence of Nathan Lessing, who is from Fairlawn High School, Zach Montes out of Pickerington North High School and former Lima Senior standout Elijah Pughsley, to name a few, the Racers went 9-7 after opening the year with a 2-13 record.
While it has taken some time for Williams to develop winning on the court the same can be said about winning off the court in terms of recruiting. Again a learning process for the former New Bremen and Mount Vernon Nazarene University hoopster.
"I feel like I'm starting to come into myself as a coach and as a recruiter," Williams said. "We have done a lot of hard work of educating local kids about who we are. I think the unique spot about us in the recruiting world is not only are you educating who we are at the University of Northwestern of Ohio and what we have to offer but we are also in the NAIA."
Williams added that the NAIA is not as well known as the NCAA but he said through his efforts that potential players are getting a better concept of what that is and how competitive it can be as well as seeing their former teammates playing at UNOH and the success they have had in other sports.
As evident by the Westrick and Johnson signings, Williams is actively recruiting locally because he knows the wealth of talent that is prevalent in northwest Ohio. Williams is quite familiar with the area having played at New Bremen High School and Mount Vernon Nazarene University.
Williams points out that he is always going to go where the talent is but he also realizes their is plenty in UNOH's own backyard.
"Obviously I know the area," Williams said. "A lot of the guys who are coaching now were coaching when I played. I know the area in terms of the leagues and they are all pretty good. I know some of the differences between the small school leagues and the big school leagues."
Williams also points out that because he was recruited he understands the wants and needs of the players looking for the right fit in a basketball program.
"I was a high school product in this area and UNOH had just come into the fold from an athletic standpoint and I am not that far from being recruited so if I was being recruited from UNOH I know what questions I would have had and what my concerns would have been or my parents' concerns would have been and so that has really helped put into perspective our message."
In the past three years, the number of Ohio players has continued to rise on the UNOH roster. Last year's squad had eight players from the Buckeye state .
"I have recruited every single player on the team," Williams added. "Last year we had one or two players that Coach (Chris) Adams had recruited and was involved with but all those guys are used to how we operate and expectations and practice and travel. I definitely feel like it is our group as a coaching staff."
While he has secured two top local talents this year, Williams admits it was tough recruiting this year due to the pandemic. Building a personal in person relationship is one of the keys to recruiting and Williams said that was tough to do in these times but he quickly adapted.
"Recruiting at this time especially when it happened was really, really tough because especially for us at the NAIA level and a lot of other smaller colleges the timeline kind of gets pushed back," Williams said. "The prospects are going to wait as long they can for the bigger schools to offer or fill their rosters so a lot of recruiting is done in the spring. It was really tough and a huge challenge."
So with travel restricted Williams quickly became acquainted with Zoom to contact players and would often get his players involved on Zoom group chats to also give the recruit a chance to hear how the program is from their perspective. Williams also had players contact the recruits.
Recruiting videos were also sent out to recruits highlighting the campus and the program.
Williams said that if there is a silver lining to this is that he has learned new and different ways to contact recruits.
"I think as a staff we got better as recruiters because we had to be creative and open up doors to ideas and things we haven't done before because we hadn't had to but now we can add a Zoom call as one of our procedures."
With most of the pieces in place, Williams said this will be a big year for us. The Racers return seven of their top scorers and a wealth of depth. The addition of Westrick and Bode helps fill a big void in the middle that hurt the Racers last year. Williams provides additional depth at the guard spot.
"With the amount of returners coming back and a good recruiting class and me in year four I am happy with where we are at," Williams said. "A lot of our guys have played a lot of minutes now and this will be a big year for us."

I could definitely see your balance changes to the first stage, allowing it to lean more towards the reactionary and less towards the memorization (though memorization has it's own dedicated fanbase of course).
I enjoyed Stage 2 for the most part and it absolutely gave the impression of a city under siege but a lot of the time the enemy waves felt extremely chaotic (sometimes in a good way, sometimes bad) and it started to lean back into the memorization camp of shmups. This isn't a bad thing though, because stage progression should be harder, but the jump from what you made Stage 1 into with your rebalances going into Stage 2 is almost jarring.
Again, great project and I look forward to seeing where it continues to go!

Q: Powershell script works with Add-AzureAccount but not Login-AzureRmAccount I have a zip file that contains the azure functions to be deployed to the function app that I previously deployed via a Powershell script.
I don't have any of my own Azure Subscription's. I wrote a piece of code which works fine when you are the owner of the subscription, I want the same functionality to be able to done without the owner subscription thing.
If I do Login-AzureRmAccount, this script is not working. It's working only for Add-AzureAccount..
Add-AzureAccount
Get-AzureSubscription -Current
$subscriptionName = Read-Host -Prompt 'Enter target Subscription name'
Select-AzureSubscription -Current -SubscriptionName $subscriptionName
$FuncAppName = Read-Host -Prompt 'Enter Function App Name you provided in above step'
Publish-AzureWebsiteProject -Package "Kovai.AtomicScope.Azure.zip" -Name $FuncAppName

A: I think the issue is that there is no Publish-AzureRMWebsiteProject cmdlet (there is a Select-AzureRmSubscription cmdlet that gets you a bit closer, but not all the way).
However, publish-AzureWebsiteProject is a wrapper over Web Deploy\MSDeploy, so you could use msdeploy directly. You can also use WAWSDeploy (also a wrapper around msdeploy), which should make things easier.

A: The Publish* cmdlet is a really old Azure RDFE cmdlet.  Login-AzureRMAccount is an Azure Resource Manager (i.e. newer) cmdlet.
Essentially, the Azure and AzureRM cmdlets talk to different endpoints and require different authentication.  That's not 100% true (there are a few exceptions) but that's what's happening in this case.
So if the cmdlet you're using is Verb-AzureSomething, you need Add-AzureAccount.  If the cmdlet is Verb-AzureRM* then you need to authenticate with Login-AzureRMAccount of Add-AzureRMAccount.

How Is Blockchain Improving Cybersecurity?
This entry was posted in Cybersecurity Guest Contributor on March 15, 2021 by Editorial Staff
By Emily Newton
People often discuss the blockchain in cryptocurrency conversations and, increasingly, when bringing up ways to secure the supply chain and achieve better transparency for all involved parties.
However, it offers broader applications, too. Could the blockchain improve security in the online realm? Many people believe so. Here are some of the ways it might enhance cybersecurity soon and is currently making an impact.
Reducing Ransomware Attacks
Ransomware attacks can cripple ill-prepared businesses. It prevents people from accessing files unless they pay the amount that hackers demand. Even then, providing the funds doesn't necessarily result in restored access.
A company called HeraSoft recently completed a $5 million Series A funding round. It offers blockchain solutions, including those built to safeguard against ransomware. More specifically, the company made a public protocol index layer on a platform tied to Bitcoin. It helps stop ransomware and other cybersecurity attacks.
During an interview, the CEO, Anthem Blanchard, explained more about HeraSoft's approach and why it's necessary:
"[We] confront the growing cybersecurity challenges facing businesses and government organizations. This problem was worsened by the coronavirus, which sparked a mass migration of data and systems online. The immediacy of this shift meant many companies did not (and still do not) have adequate security measures and protections in place, making them vulnerable to hacks and ransomware."
He continued, "We are using distributed technology to eliminate single points of failure in enterprise cloud systems and guard against damaging cyberattacks."
Company decision-makers are not always quick to adopt new technologies. Thus, it could be a while before this option or one like it becomes mainstream. Even so, this company offers a thought-provoking concept.
Minimizing Password Usage
People use passwords to access workplace interfaces, carry out personal banking, shop for necessities at e-commerce sites, and more. However, some cybersecurity experts argue that blockchain security offers a better way.
Even if you know all modern password best practices, there have probably been instances where you didn't follow them for convenience's sake. With many people accessing dozens of sites that need passwords, some use the same login details at multiple places or choose information that's easy to guess.
One way to let blockchain improve security is to combine its distributed ledger technology with digital identity verification. The idea is that companies issue digital wallets to their customers. Those apps store personal information, and outside parties can only access it after the wallet holder grants permission.
A real-life example concerned a credit union service organization. Interested customers contacted customer service representatives and received codes that let them download digital wallet apps to their smartphones or tablets.
The app facilitated instances where customers provided credentials for banking activities, or employees requested them. Users saw prompts on their phones that required them to confirm credit union membership. Doing that created a two-way secure communication channel.
When talking about how this solution helped, credit union representatives said traditional customer authentication methods could take as long as 90 seconds. This blockchain-based option gets the job done in less than 5. Call center workers can boost their productivity, and customers stay satisfied because the overall experience of getting help is more efficient and straightforward.
Facilitating Safer Collaborations Between Parties
Research shows that data breaches affected more than 155 million individuals in 2020 and that the year had 1,001 such reported incidents. A different 2020 study revealed manufacturing as one of the at-risk industries for data breaches associated with financial gain.
More specifically, 29% of breaches in that sector involved people using malware to steal data. A motivated and malicious person could use data to learn trade secrets, lure customers away to competing manufacturers, and damage a company's reputation.
Manufacturing companies commonly use the blockchain to accelerate shipment tracking. One company decreased its tracking time to 2.2 seconds from the initial week-long timeframe. That's an understandable use case, but manufacturers should also think about using the blockchain to safeguard the data exchanges that happen when people collaborate.
Xage Security is a company that aims to help with its blockchain-based, tamper-proof data-sharing solution. Its CEO, Duncan Greatwood, pointed out that the Internet of Things (IoT) presents opportunities to automate data exchanges.
However, he clarified, "Manufacturers need granular control down to the level of individual machines and individual data streams so that sharing, multi-location, and real-time multi-party cooperation can be fully and safely enabled."
His company's offering verifies the source of data, then ensures no one changed it before the recipient reads it. Additionally, this blockchain security option only allows authorized parties to view the content. Each data sharer can set individual access policies. Plus, the blockchain's distributed nature means that no single point of failure would allow a hack.
Protecting Health Records
As the COVID-19 pandemic worsened, many people realized that personal health data sharing strategies might be the key to controlling the virus and avoiding outbreaks.
For example, many government leaders around the world require people to show negative COVID-19 tests before arriving in a country. Ticketmaster also announced it might make showing a negative test result or proof of vaccination a requirement for entering an event.
Using a blockchain security method to keep health data safe may prove instrumental in helping more people enjoy fewer restrictions, even as the virus remains problematic. A hospital in Cyprus utilized a blockchain-based app that shows a person's results for real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) or rapid antibody tests on a smartphone.
The individual with the test data can grant permission for other parties to see the data as required. Then, if a workplace or other entity needs proof that the person does not have the virus, providing it is straightforward.
Once the hospital uploads the data to the blockchain, it's in an immutable state. Nobody accessing the information needs to worry about someone tampering with their results before seeing them.
How Soon Will Blockchain Improve Security?
After reading about these examples, you may wonder how soon it'll be before blockchain security makes a major impact on protecting content in the digital realm and safeguarding against hacks or other attacks. That's anyone's guess, because the biggest differences will likely come from widespread usage. However, the diversity of the use cases discussed here and elsewhere gives hope for the future.
As more companies and parties start implementing blockchain for improved cybersecurity, the entities that wait to adopt it should feel more confident if the early adopters have positive outcomes. It's already evident in these relatively early stages that blockchain security is worth exploring, especially as cyberattacks become more severe and extensive.

Pentetic Acid, and its salt Pentasodium Pentetate, are compounds that bind metals, also known as chelating agents. Pentasodium Pentetate is chemically similar to EDTA (ethylenediamino tetraacetic acid), a chemical widely used as a chelating agent in foods and other materials. In cosmetics and personal care products, Pentetic Acid and Pentasodium Pentetate are used in a wide range of products but can be found mostly in hair dyes and colors, noncoloring hair products, and bath products.
Pentetic Acid and Pentasodium Pentetate inactivate metallic ions, such as calcium and magnesium, to maintain stability and appearance of cosmetic products. The inactivation of other metallic ions such as iron or copper also helps to prevent the oxidative deterioration of cosmetics and personal care products.
The addition of chelating agents, such as Pentetic Acid and Pentasodium Pentetate, to hard water causes metals such as calcium and magnesium to form a complex with the chelating agent . This binding is beneficial for better foaming and cleaning performance of personal care products. Metal ions can cause a haze in clear liquids. Pentetic Acid and Pentasodium Pentetate dissolves these metals, preventing them from being deposited onto the hair, scalp and skin.
The safety of Pentasodium Pentetate and Pentetic Acid has been assessed by the Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) Expert Panel. The CIR Expert Panel evaluated the scientific data and concluded that Pentasodium Pentetate and Pentetic Acid were safe as cosmetic ingredients in the practices of use and concentrations as described in the safety assessment.
CIR Safety Review: When reviewing the safety of Pentetic Acid and Pentasodium Pentatate, the CIR Expert Panel considered that earlier safety assessments of chelating agents used in cosmetics and personal care products were relevant to the assessment of the safety of these ingredients. The CIR Expert Panel considered the absence of significant skin penetration of chelating agents and concluded that Pentetic Acid and Pentasodium Pentetate did not pose any reproductive or developmental toxicity risk when used in cosmetics and personal care products. Pentetic Acid and Pentasodium Pentetate do not have structures suggesting that they cause cancer or genotoxicity, and genotoxicity studies are negative.
The CIR Expert Panel determined that these ingredients can be used safely in aerosolized products when packaging and use ensure that particulates are not respirable (are greater than 10 microns). The CIR Expert Panel further noted that the safety of chelating agents in products that may be inhaled was supported by the use of these chelators in inhalation drug products intended for use following exposure to radioactive metals, such as plutonium. Pentetic Acid and Pentasodium Pentetate may be used in cosmetics and personal care products marketed in Europe according to the general provisions of the Cosmetics Regulation of the European Union .
Pentasodium Pentetate is the pentasodium salt of diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid (also called Pentetic Acid). These ingredients function as a chelating agent in cosmetics and personal care products. Chelating Agents, also called sequestrants, are ingredients that have the ability to bind with and inactivate metallic ions in order to prevent adverse effects on the stability or appearance of cosmetic products.

Die Schlacht bei Weißenburg fand am 4. August 1870 bei der Grenzstadt Weißenburg () im Elsass statt. Bei dieser Schlacht trat im Deutsch-Französischen Krieg von 1870/71 erstmals ein gesamtdeutsches Heer auf. Dort kämpfte die 3. Armee unter der Führung von Kronprinz Friedrich Wilhelm von Preußen gegen die Elsassarmee unter Marschall Mac Mahon.

Ausgangsposition

Weißenburg war das nördliche Eingangstor zum Elsass. Nachdem das Elsass Ende des 17. Jahrhunderts unter Ludwig XIV. an Frankreich gefallen war, wurden um Weißenburg von dem französischen Marschall Villars die sogenannten Weißenburger Linien angelegt, die sich entlang der Lauter bis Lauterburg erstreckten und das Elsass vor einem Angriff von Norden her schützen sollten. Diese Weißenburger Linien waren im Zickzack angelegt, geschmeidig dem Terrain angepasst und bestanden aus Brustwehr und Graben. Militärisch spielten die Linien letztmals während des Ersten Koalitionskriegs anlässlich der Schlacht an den Weißenburger Linien am 13. Oktober 1793 eine Rolle. Allerdings verfielen diese Wehranlagen nach der französischen Revolution zusehends. Auch die Verteidigungsanlagen an der Stadtmauer von Weißenburg waren im Verfall begriffen. Für eine Erneuerung dieser Wehranlagen vor dem Krieg blieb keine Zeit.

Auch auf deutscher Seite gab es in der bayerischen Pfalz mit der Festung Landau und der Festung Germersheim einen wichtigen Verteidigungsabschnitt gegen einen Angriff aus dem Süden.

Französische Stellungen
Die Stellung der "Elsassarmee", welche den rechten Flügel der französischen Armee bildete, reichte Anfang August von einer Linie Bitsch–Hagenau (5. Corps de Failly, und Teile des 1. Corps Mac Mahon) bis Straßburg (Division Lartique vom I. Corps). Das VII. Corps unter General Félix Douay lagerte in zweiter Linie in Belfort. Die Division von Abel Douay des I. Corps mit den Brigaden Pelletier und Pellé befand sich vorgezogen in Weißenburg und Sulz unterm Wald.

Deutsche Stellungen
Die dritte Armee, auch "deutsche" Armee genannt, da sie überwiegend aus nicht-preußischen Truppen bestand, wurde aus fünf Korps gebildet: Dem V. und XI. preußischen, dem I. und II. bayerischen sowie dem VI., dem gemeinsamen württembergisch-badischen Korps, das aus jeweils einer Division des jeweiligen Landes gebildet wurde. Das I. bayerische Korps, das V. und XI. Korps sowie die württembergische Division standen zwischen Germersheim und Landau, das II. bayerische Korps bei Bergzabern leicht vorgeschoben in der bayerischen Pfalz. Nur die badische Division wurde noch auf rechtsrheinischem Gebiet bei Rastatt zurückgehalten, um bei einer möglichen Invasion von Straßburg aus auf badischem Boden schnell reagieren zu können.

Vorabend der Schlacht
Die Deutschen gingen davon aus, dass Mac Mahon seine noch in Straßburg weilende Division mit seinem restlichen Korps bei Bitsch beziehungsweise Metz mit der Rheinarmee zusammenführen werde, um dem von französischer Seite auf Metz erwarteten deutschen Angriff mehr Widerstand und Kampfkraft entgegensetzen zu können. Zur Absicherung dieser Truppenverlegung war auch die Division Douay vom VII. Korps vorgeschoben worden. Da die Deutschen eine massive Truppenkonzentration vermeiden wollten, entschlossen sie sich am 3. August nach Südwesten vorzustoßen, um durch einen raschen Vorstoß gegen Südwest die Armee Mac Mahons zu isolieren, zur Schlacht zu zwingen und womöglich zu schlagen.

Verlauf der Schlacht

4 Uhr – 8 Uhr
Die einzelnen deutschen Korps brachen gegen 4 Uhr bei Nieselregen ihr Biwak ab und begaben sich in ihre Ausgangsstellungen.
Diese waren wie folgt:

 Das II. bayerische Korps zog auf die Höhe von Schweigen und traf dort gegen 8 Uhr ein.
 Das V. Korps setzte sich Richtung Schweighofen in Bewegung und wartete auf den dortigen Anhöhen auf den Angriff auf Altenstadt.
 Das XI. Korps schritt durch den Bienwald, um die Befestigungen der Weißenburger Linien östlich von Altenstadt zu überrennen.
 Das VI. Korps machte sich auf breiten Straßen auf den Weg nach Lauterburg.
 Das I. bayerische Korps hielt sich als Reserve westlich von Langenkandel bereit.

Der Kronprinz traf gegen 8 Uhr unmittelbar nach dem II. bayerischen Korps in Schweigen ein. Von der Anhöhe bei Schweigen hatte er einen guten Überblick auf Weißenburg, Altenstadt und den südlich von Weißenburg liegenden Geisberg, auf dem General Douay sein Zeltlager aufgeschlagen hatte und gerade seinen Morgenkaffee genoss.

Die Franzosen schienen von der Ankunft der deutschen Truppen völlig überrascht zu sein. Erst nach dem Eintreffen der deutschen Truppen eilten ein Bataillon der 74. Infanterie und das 1. Regiment algerische Tirailleure, sogenannte Turcos, nach Weißenburg und Altenstadt, um ihre Stellungen einzunehmen. Der Hauptteil des Truppenkontingents blieb auf dem Geisberg und formierte sich beim Schloss Geisberg und dem nahe gelegenen Gehöft Schafbusch.

8 Uhr – 12 Uhr

Der Kampf in den Vormittagsstunden war geprägt vom Artilleriefeuer und den algerischen Truppen. Nach dem Eintreffen des V. Korps in Schweighofen übernahm die 9. Division unter Generalmajor von Sandrart die Führung, um über Altenstadt nach Weißenburg zu gelangen.

Das 1. Schlesische Jäger-Bataillon Nr. 5 unter Major Graf Waldersee nahm Altenstadt ohne großen Widerstand. Als es sich jedoch gegen Weißenburg wandte, wurde es am Ortsrand von Altenstadt mit einem Kugelhagel von den in den Vorgärten gut verschanzten Algeriern empfangen. Ebenso machte das Artilleriefeuer vom Geisberg ein Vorwärtskommen sehr schwer. Es gab große Verluste auf beiden Seiten, darunter auch Major Georg Graf Waldersee, dem ältesten Sohn von Franz von Waldersee. Das Jäger-Bataillon Nr. 5 bekam nun Unterstützung von zwei Bataillonen des 3. Posenschen Infanterie-Regiments Nr. 58. Erst vor dieser Übermacht der Deutschen zogen sich die Franzosen weiter Richtung Weißenburg zurück.

Mit den Bataillonen des Infanterie-Regiments Nr. 58 in der Mitte, flankiert von dem Jäger-Bataillon Nr. 5, zogen die Deutschen nun weiter Richtung Weißenburg. Auf Höhe des Bahnhofs, der sich damals noch außerhalb der Stadt Weißenburg befand, kam eine Abteilung des französischen 74. Infanterie-Regiments den algerischen Tirailleuren zu Hilfe und griff die Deutschen an. Die Franzosen wurden durch heftiges Gewehrfeuer empfangen und in die Stadt zurückgedrängt.

Als noch zwei Bataillone des 2. Niederschlesischen Infanterie-Regiments Nr. 47 den deutschen Angriff unterstützten, wurde der Bahnhof gegen 11 Uhr gestürmt. Die in den Vorstadthäusern verschanzten algerischen Truppen wurden überrannt und gefangen genommen. Kurz darauf drangen die Füsiliere des Infanterie-Regiments Nr. 58 durch das Hagenauer Tor in die Stadt Weißenburg ein.

Zur selben Zeit, als die 9. Division gegen Altenstadt vorging, wandte sich die Division "Bothmer" vom II. bayerischen Korps von Schweigen aus gegen Weißenburg. Das 10. kgl. bayr. Jäger-Bataillon, unterstützt vom III. Bataillon des 5. Infanterie-Regiments, schob sich von Norden Richtung Weißenburg vor. Der Vorstoß traf auf heftigen Widerstand der hier in Hecken und Gräben gut verschanzten algerischen Tirailleure.

So verzögerte sich der Vorstoß und es wurde auf Verstärkung gewartet. Die III. Bataillone des 11. und 14. Infanterie-Regiments sowie die 7. Brigade unter Generalmajor von Thiereck gingen links des 10. Jäger-Bataillons in Stellung und schlossen so die Lücke zum V. Korps. Als nun Altenstadt eingenommen wurde und das V. Korps auf den Bahnhof zustürmte, griffen das 10. Jäger-Bataillon sowie die III. Bataillone des 5., 11. und 14. Infanterie-Regiments von Norden und Nordosten die Stadt Weißenburg an.

Der Widerstand gegen die Bayern war erheblich schwächer geworden, da die Franzosen sich mit den meisten Kräften auf das Hagenauer Tor und den Bahnhof konzentriert hatten. Gegen 12 Uhr nahmen die Bayern das Landauer Tor und das 10. Jäger-Bataillon zog geschlossen und unter Hörnerklang in die Stadt ein. Ein Teil der Franzosen versuchte noch durch das Bitscher Tor zu entkommen, wurde aber von einer Kompanie des 10. Jäger-Bataillons aufgehalten, welche ihnen den Rückzugsweg abschnitt.

12 Uhr – 16 Uhr

Nach der Einnahme Weißenburgs wandten sich die Deutschen den französischen Stellungen auf dem Geisberg zu. Auf dem Geisberg befanden sich zwei Gebäude: Auf halber Höhe das Schloss Geisberg, in welchem General Douay sein Hauptquartier eingerichtet hatte, sowie oben auf dem Berg, westlich vom Schloss, ein Gehöft mit dem Namen Schafbusch.

Die französischen Truppen, dies waren Teile des 74. Infanterie-Regiments, das 50. Infanterie-Regiment, das 16. Jäger-Bataillon der Brigade Pelletier de Montmarie, sowie das 78. Infanterie-Regiment der Brigade Pellé, dazu noch drei Batterien Artillerie und eine Batterie Mitrailleusen, waren zwischen den beiden Gebäuden verteilt. Der Großteil der deutschen Truppen wurde auf das Schloss Geisberg konzentriert, da der Geisberg nach Osten hin seine geringste Neigung hatte und am leichtesten erstürmt werden konnte. Im Laufe der Schlacht um den Geisberg bekam Douay noch Unterstützung aus Sulz unterm Wald durch das 3. Husaren- und das 11. Chasseurs-Regiment der Kavalleriebrigade Septeuil.

Vom Geisberg sahen die Franzosen, dass von Osten her, aus der Richtung des Bienwaldes, die 41. Brigade des XI. Corps (hessisches Füsilier-Regiment Nr. 80; nassauisches Infanterie-Regiment Nr. 87) im Anmarsch war. Gleichzeitig formierten sich im Tal das Königs-Grenadier-Regiment Nr. 7 in der Mitte, das freigewordene 5. Jäger-Bataillon rechts und die bisher noch nicht eingesetzten I. Bataillone des 47. und 58. Regiments links, für die Erstürmung des Geisberges. Während das 7. Regiment mit den drei Teilregimentern den Geisberg unter der Führung von Major von Kaisenberg hinaufstürmte, setzte sich die 41. Brigade nach Süden in Bewegung und versuchte, durch Umgehung des Geisberges von hinten den Schafbusch zu erreichen.

Die Franzosen waren im Schloss und in den Gebäuden allerdings gut verschanzt. Dadurch musste die Erstürmung des Geisbergs mit vielen Opfern bezahlt werden.

Jedes Bataillon der Deutschen, welches auf den Berg stürmte, zog zwei Kompanien in dichter Kette vor, zwei weitere Kompanien folgten als Halbbataillon. So, im Deutschen Krieg 1866 erprobt, versuchte Major von Kaisenberg sein Glück bei der Erstürmung des Schlosses. Als er auf halbem Wege zum Schlosse war, begann das 74. französische Infanterie-Regiment mit aufgepflanztem Bajonett einen Gegenstoß, der jedoch scheiterte. Das Füsilier-Bataillon setzte die Erstürmung bis zum Schlossgebäude fort. Dort wurden sie von gut positionierten Franzosen jäh gestoppt. Durch starkes Abwehrfeuer fanden viele Füsiliere den Tod. Major von Kaisenberg, der mit seinem Bataillon an der Spitze die Höhe stürmte, wurde schwer verwundet. Schnell war die halbe Anhöhe mit Toten und Verwundeten bedeckt. Die restlichen Soldaten der Bataillone des 7. Regiments mussten in Gräben nahe dem Schlossgebäude Deckung suchen und auf Verstärkung warten.

Diese Verstärkung ließ nicht lange auf sich warten. Rechts des Zentrums stürmte das 5. Jäger-Bataillon, links davon die Bataillone der Regimenter 47 und 58 die Höhe und lieferten sich heftige Gefechte mit den Franzosen. Die 41. Brigade, welche den Geisberg nach Süden umging und von Südosten auf den Berg stürmte, hatte nach kurzem Kampf den Schafbusch genommen und griff nun die Stellungen der Franzosen am Schloss Geisberg in deren Rücken an.

Nun erst war der Kampfgeist der Franzosen gebrochen und sie gaben den Geisberg preis. Um ihren Rückzug in südlicher Richtung über die Straße nach Sulz zu decken, versuchten die Franzosen noch einen kurzen Gegenangriff, der sich allerdings als Scheinangriff entpuppte. Gegen 14 Uhr übernahmen die zwei Kavallerieregimenter der 9. und 10. Preußischen Division die Verfolgung.

Beteiligte und Verluste

An der Schlacht von Weißenburg waren auf deutscher Seite 22 Bataillone, auf französischer Seite 11 Bataillone beteiligt. Den Sieg in der Schlacht haben die Deutschen zum einen ihrer zahlenmäßigen Überlegenheit sowie der Tatsache, dass General Douay auf einen Kampf anscheinend nicht vorbereitet war, zu verdanken. Fontane unterstellte dem gefallenen General Douay, dass dieser erst am Vortag der Schlacht sich zum ersten Mal eine Karte des Gebietes angesehen habe. Die Verluste waren auf beiden Seiten erheblich. Auf deutscher Seite gab es 700 Tote, Verwundete und Gefangene, auf französischer Seite über Tausend. Unter den Toten befanden sich u. a. Major Graf Waldersee, Major von Unruh und Major von Kaisenberg, sowie General Abel Douay auf französischer Seite.

Zitate von Beteiligten
Rede des Kronprinzen Friedrich Wilhelm von Preußen am 30. Juli 1870, vor der Schlacht von Weißenburg:

Ein Offizier des hessischen Füsilierregiments Nr. 80 schrieb nach dem Gefecht:

Erinnerung

Zur Erinnerung an die Schlacht erhielt in München der Weißenburger Platz seinen Namen, wie auch weitere Orte in Deutschland (z. B. Lünen) Straßen nach Weißenburg benannten. Die Kaiserliche Marine taufte 1891 ein Linienschiff auf den Namen Weißenburg.

Un-Dead-Link, physical death of a computer game
Japanese media art unit Exonemo's latest work focuses on the differences between two worlds – the real, physical and our increasingly information-based, virtual. Citations of doubt in the real world itself among the two artists (Sembo Kensuke and Yae Akaiwa) led to an identification and consideration of a gap between the two worlds, namely one of "death." For the duo, "death" in the real world has no relation to a death in the proposed imaginary world of information. Un-Dead-Link (exhibited at Plug-In, Basel till August 24) works to connect the different realities and blur such a boundary by relying on a pre-programmed software with electronic goods Exonemo bought in Basel. "We modified the game Half-Life2 by using Garry's mod. The game is connected to the piano while all electrical goods are connected by midi/dmx (protocol) with custom devices." With that, the audience can see, feel and hear the effects of a symbolic death in a computer game in an actual physical environment, bridging the gap. The gallery has two contrasting spaces- the ground floor is bright and open while the basement floor is dark and closed; reflecting the two worlds in the space.

Silvia Fassler & Billy Roisz – Skylla


I am not the type of person to get excited over a shish kebab. Yet, I couldn't keep my cool when I came across these gems.
To say that they tasted good would be an understatement. They were exquisite. Smoky, satisfying and daintily cut into tiny squares allowing you to savour them with finesse, rather than having to open your mouth as wide as you can in order to take a bite from the indecent amount of meat served by your regular kebab shop.
But then again, Italians know how to do food, even in the case of such an unpretentious dish as the shish kebab. Which in its Italian version has the much more sophisticated name of 'arrosticini'.
We had found ourselves in front of the arrosticini barbecuing and selling stall at the Christmas extravaganza in Thiene – an elegant city less than half an hour away from our current hometown of Vicenza.
The streets of the city centre, lined up with beautiful painted houses, played host to a Christmas event with a petting zoo, horse riding, play area and arts and crafts stalls.
As it is the custom at such events, the food stalls were the ones attracting the biggest crowds, so after having had our fill of petting a very docile cockerel, a goat, a lama and two gorgeous horses, after taking pictures of the wooden alpine house and the Nativity fountain and after marveling at the art installation showing Pinocchio in its comfortable room in the belly of the whale, we wandered off looking for food.
Just then a stall with a big sign 'Arrosticini Thienesi' (arrosticini from Thiene) caught our eye. Dressed in medieval attire a mighty man was arranging the dainty spits with cubes of meat over the hot coals.
Every now and then a lady with a bonnet would scoop some more hot coals from a nearby flaming grill and pile them underneath the spits with roasting meat.
People were queuing in their droves, buying dozens of the dainty spits and carrying them off like bouquets in their hands to savour and enjoy with their families. Obviously, we immediately joined in.
Playing it safe at first, we bought six spits, which we shared fairly – two each. They were so good. The small chunks of lamb meat were interspersed with little slivers of pearly fat. Here, I see a person who is very dear to me, roll her eyes in disgust – fat!? But, what can I tell you? In the right quantities, fat does give an amazing flavour to a meal.
And were the quantities right in the dainty arrosticino I was holding in my hand? You bet!
Add to this the generous helping of salt the man with the medieval attire would sprinkle over the sizzling meat as it roasted over the hot coals. Yes, it was a foodie dream!
We had to go back for more. So, after waiting in line yet again, my husband returned victorious with several more spits. Soon, they were a memory, too.
What a memory though! More like the highlight of a very enjoyable morning.
Here is a little video for you to see it all in action. Enjoy!

Doug Thompson: CONFESSIONS OF A PROFESSIONAL ROCK AND ROLL INTERVIEWER »
Cameron Carpenter: The ABC's Of Rock – L is for Live
The great news of Sam Grosso (Cadillac Lounge) buying the El Mocambo last week got me to thinking of all the great old venues I was lucky enough to spend time at in my youth.
We are very fortunate in Toronto to have so many great venues for acts to play at. On Queen West alone you have The Rivoli, The Legendary Horseshoe, The Cameron House, The Hideout, The Bovine and Cherry Colas to name but a few. The Tattoo Rock Parlour had a ton of potential but they just didn't seem to be able to fully commit to "the rock".
The El Mocambo was a brilliant venue in the late seventies and early eighties, The second floor was the venue of choice for record companies looking to promote up and coming domestic and international talent. Those were the days that the labels would purchase the entire back wall of the club and ply the writers, disc jockeys and retail buyers with drinks, tee-shirts,and meet and greets in hopes of a good review, a couple of spins or a good order from Sam The Record Man or Records on Wheels. We would huddle in the dressing room, pose for pictures and hopefully on Friday morning the shots would be in RPM Weekly. Each major show was immortalized on the back wall with huge show cards. The record companies would pay for these at a little shop on Pears Avenue and then leave them with the club. It was a visual history of the club doubling as art work.
The enthusiasm that Sam and his partner are showing is contagious. First and foremost they are sticking with Yvonne Matsell as their booker. Yvonne kept the club alive for ten years when many thought it wasn't possible and it is great to see her rewarded with the gig. Next up they plan to restore the "neon palms" on Spadina, the long neglected iconic neon sign in front of the building. Lastly they are going to restore the second floor to the old floor plan with the stage on the side. This was the stage setting for The Rolling Stones, U2, Cheap Trick, The Ramones and thousands of others. The majority of shows during the last decade have been on the main floor which really bears no resemblance to the old downstairs bar. Really looking forward to what will happen at the good old El Mocambo (maybe they will re-hire Reggie as the doorman),
Here are a few of the venues that I cut my musical teeth on.
The Knob Hill
Being an east-ender this was the big hard rock venue on our side of town. Located deep in the heart of Scarborough at the corner of Eglinton East and Danforth, The Knobby was an infamous hard hitting bar. As Kim Mitchell quipped on Q-107 "I went to the Knob Hill one night and a band broke out". The place scared the hell out of me but it is where we had to venture to see the likes of Moxy, Goddo or Triumph. Other than Maple Leaf Gardens, Massey Hall or Ontario Place there were very few venues to see bands. Bands was do three-nighters back then and a minimum of two sets (if they had a support band) and up to four 40 minute sets if they were the only act on the bill. I was pretty young when I first ventured out to the Knobby (the drinking age was 18 then and fake ID's were pretty easy to come by). I think I saw musical comedy duo MacLean & MacLean there but I don't think it was one of the three nights that they were joined by Burton Cummings back in 1977. Once I discovered the multitude of clubs on the Yonge Street Strip I tended to shy away from this biker heavy bar.
The Colonial Tavern
In the fifties and sixties The Colonial was a world renowned jazz, big band and blues venue. Performers such as Gene Krupa, Benny Goodman, Oscar Peterson, Charles Mingus and BB King all graced the stage. The club was located on Yonge Street just a few doors north of Queen making it an easy streetcar ride from The Beach, In the seventies it turned more towards rock, and ultimately punk, The first show I remember seeing was David Wilcox & The Teddy Bears. Back then David had hair down to his butt and a wicked moustache and the band performed as a three-piece. A couple of weeks ago I wrote about the debut of The Jam at The Colonial and I also recall early Teenage Head shows when they were still performing the occasional New York Dolls or early Aerosmith tunes. One night sometime Teenage Head harmonic player Slash Booze took a dive from the balcony and broke his ankle. The club closed as the seventies turned into the eighties. The punks would march up the street to new short-lived homes.
The Nickelodeon
The Nickelodeon was just up the street from The Colonial and occupied what is now The Hard Rock Café just south of Dundas. I seem to remember very long tables, red chequered tablecloths and lots of popcorn. The stage was on the north wall and the snack bar over to the east. This was were I first saw Larry Gowan perform as a member of Rhinegold. It was a proggy-pop show with lots of keyboards and costume changes. Of courser Larry went on to great solo success at CBS Records and has been the front man for Styx for the last dozen years. This was one of the early haunts of Rough Trade when they made their move away from Grossman's Tavern on Spadina. It was the early classic line-up of Rough Trade and they had just released their direct to disc debut album. We were part of a gaggle of regulars who followed the band up and down the strip. Neil Michael Davidson, now the head sports writer for Canadian Press was part of the posse as well as his pals from the Delta Kappa Epsilon frat house at the U of T (including pollster John Wright and business reporter B.J. Del Conte). We would always arrive early and try to get a table near the front of the stage. At the end of the song "Grade B Movie" Carole Pope would always leave the stage and curl up in the lap of one lucky patron. With her see thru tops, leathers and whip it made for an exciting couple of minutes. Of course I was too young and naive at that point to realize Carole was gay but songs like "Dykes By Default" should have given me a clue. It was before Pride, Fab Magazine and I was an innocent boy from the east end and not a worldly hipster like the OCA crowd (Ontario College of Art) crowd that also followed the band.
The Piccadilly Tube
About a block north of The Nick was The Tube. Oddly it was one of the few clubs on the west side of Yonge Street. They have a pseudo English "tube" sign out front and used to advertise their fish and chips and the fact that you could feed a friend for an extra penny. The club was underground and had really low ceilings. This was my favourite spot to see A Foot In Coldwater. I seem to recall a couple of Goddo shows and one or two by Max Webster as well. The club was across the street from the infamous burlesque parlour "Starvin Marvin's" whose outdoor ads were rather titillating for a teenager. It was also just down the street from a great pinball arcade and in the heart of all of the head shops where fake ID's could be purchased cheaply and quickly.
The Gasworks
It was a bit of a walk up Yonge to get to the epicentre of the seventies and early eighties rock scene in Toronto The Gasworks. The club was immortalized in the movie "Wayne's World" as Mike Myers is a Toronto native and every rocker worth his mullet spent mandatory time at the gritty bar on the corner of Yonge and Dundonald. "The Gasworks! Always a babe fest!" Myer's said in the film which also had their Aurora, Illinois club named in tribute to the club. The big memory here is the quart bottles of beer which took forever to finish and then became massive weapons when a fight inevitably broke out. It wasn't a huge club but the sightlines were good (expect for a couple of poles) and the sound was loud. It was the place that international touring bands would stop by after their shows at Maple Leaf Gardens and you could also expect a surprise or two up on stage. Bands such as Rush, Saga and Triumph cut their teeth at this club. A drunken Tina Turner seems to stir some distant memory.
OK, let's call this the conclusion of part one as I have barely scratched the surface on long gone venues in Toronto. Part two coming next week and then maybe we will move on to other great Canadian cities.
One place that is very much alive is The Shanghai Cowgirl at 538 Queen Street West. Hell, it is August already and you need to take advantage of their fab back patio while you still can. New menu is being worked in and there are lots of tasty new treats available.

John and Valetta Tsangaris attended the high-school graduation of their daughter Jeane Sunday afternoon in Joplin, Mo. It was a happy occasion, although tornado sirens sounded briefly as they left the ceremony a little after 5 p.m.
When the family stopped at McDonald's afterward to order a bite in the drive-through line, it started raining and the sirens went off again–and didn't stop.
Mr. Tsangaris, a software contractor who grew up in British Columbia and has lived in Joplin for five years, said he was 30 blocks from home. He hurried but the sky turned into "a black wall" and heavy hail began falling after 10 blocks.So he turned his white 2007 Mercury around and pulled in under the ATM canopy at a bank to protect his family and his "dream car" from the hail.
The wind began blowing sideways and dirt and papers filled the air. Then the car windows shattered and blew away.

Florence + the Machine: How Big, How Blue, How Beautiful review - A majestic crash landing
The gloriously ethereal soundscape of previous Florence records has been compressed for a more rooted production.
By Lewis Corner
After her debut album Lungs, and then its follow-up Ceremonials, whisked Florence Welch high into the upper echelons of the music cosmos, there was only ever going to be the crash landing she experienced soon afterwards. Describing it as "a bit of a nervous breakdown", Flo needed a year off from touring the world to settle before she could dedicate her craft to album number three. Nevertheless, it's the tail end of that chaotic year that sets up How Big How, How Blue, How Beautiful in spectacular fashion.
Opening track 'Ship to Wreck' is a tempest of guitars and rattling percussion, as Florence's vulnerability and urgent calls are whipped into a cyclone of a chorus, before washing her ashore for the noticeably earthier undertone of the remainder of the album. This was the fish that slipped through the net though, after Florence was given strict instruction not to write any more songs about water - and despite the album title being an obvious nod to the vast ole ocean, there's an overarching sense that Welch has embraced a more solid terrain for the duration ahead.
The gloriously ethereal soundscape of previous Florence + the Machine records has been marginally compressed for a more rooted production, complementing Florence's introspective narrative as she not only reflects upon her former lover's blessings and flaws, but on her own liability and awareness too. "I know you're bleeding but you'll be OK/ Hold on to your heart and keep it safe," she says on 'Various Storms & Saints', reassuring her exposed soul that even the deepest of lovelorn wounds can heal with time. Instead of reaching for the celestial, Florence is now very much heeding the mortal muse within for reassurance.
Over on 'Delilah' this continues; Florence twirling with the biblical temptress over playful claps and peppy guitar lines, circling fire with the risk of burning herself once more. "It's a different kind of danger," she assures us. "And my feet are spinning around." It's spirited and corybantic, but remains very much a facet of her own emotional enlightenment. That's not to say that elsewhere Florence's heart is allowed to swell bigger than she has ever let it before. Towards the crest of title track 'How Big, How Blue, How Beautiful', a surging collective of regal brass takes the magnificent serenade to an airy pinnacle, bursting with the sound of music-form love.
But with all the gutsy grandeur causing a passionate storm around the red-headed nightingale, it leaves the quieter moments laid wonderfully naked. Florence's voice is given space to pirouette over the tender 'Long & Lost' and 'Caught', her sometimes frenetic delivery settled with comfortable oohs and a soft tone. It's a welcome break amongst the melodrama that Florence does so well - and one that results in How Big, How Blue, How Beautiful being one of the most majestic crash landings in music.

Port Authority Will Receive $100M From Feds, And Begin Collecting Fares Again Next Month
90.5 WESA | By Liz Reid
Ryan Loew
90.5 WESA
The Port Authority's Bus Rapid Transit projects aims to reduce travel times between downtown and Oakland.
The Port Authority of Allegheny County on Friday confirmed that it will receive nearly $100 million in federal funding for its Bus Rapid Transit project.
The long-awaited news broke Thursday evening when President Trump tweeted about "great things coming to a great State!"
"We are pleased to learn such positive news for our bus rapid transit project," said Port Authority spokesperson Adam Brandolph in an e-mailed statement. "The federal dollars are a significant portion of the overall funding plan. We look forward to discussing with federal transit officials next week."
Port Authority CEO Katherine Kelleman was unavailable for an interview Friday, but Brandolph said the president's social media announcement came as a surprise and that the agency had a call scheduled with the federal government for next week.
The $225 million BRT project is meant to provide speedy transit between the county's two main job centers – Downtown and Oakland – and other residential neighborhoods, including Uptown, Highland Park, Greenfield and the eastern suburbs of Rankin, Braddock and Duquesne. Dedicated bus lanes along Forbes and Fifth Avenues will be paired with smart traffic signals that prioritize public transit vehicles.
"More importantly, [BRT will] free up resources to be able to provide additional service," said Laura Weins, executive director of advocacy group Pittsburghers for Public Transit. "Free up operators, free up buses and free up money, essentially, to be reallocated toward other things."
The remaining $125 million for the project is expected to come from county and city capital dollars, as well as other state and federal grants.
The agency first applied for federal funding through the Small Starts program in 2017, but was passed over in previous funding rounds despite receiving high marks from the U.S. Department of Transportation.
The news of the federal grant came the same day the Port Authority announced it would reinstate regular fare collection beginning on Monday, June 8. According to Weins, dozens of riders and transit advocates testified at Friday's board meeting, some saying that it is inappropriate to charge full fares while many people are still reeling from the economic fallout of the coronavirus pandemic.
"We don't understand why it is that the Port Authority board would think that people can afford to pay for transit," Weins said, adding that most of the people taking public transit right now are low-income essential workers who have no other way to get to their jobs. "We are calling on the Port Authority to immediately institute a low-income fare program."
Weins acknowledged that the transit agency is hemorrhaging money due to a massive ridership drop during the pandemic, but said that officials and board members should pursue other avenues of state and federal funding before "trying to collect fares off the backs of these riders."
Port Authority's Brandolph said the agency does not have any immediately plans to implement such a program.
"But we have made sure that such a program is included in the ongoing fare study that we commissioned last year," he said. "The main issue in all of this is funding. We need to find the money to pay for the passenger revenue that would be lost. Otherwise, we could face the potential of having to reduce service to cover those fares. "

As I mentioned in my post about sling bag sizes, finding the right bag is often a Goldilocks and the 3 Bears. Some bags are too small, some are too large, and some are just right.
For my AR15 pistol in .300 Blackout, the Rydell bag by adidas is just about the perfect size. This bag would be a 100% hit if the shoulder strap could be moved from one side to the other and if the padded portion of the shoulder strap was adjustable.
According to adidas, the Rydell is made up of a combination of 1650D ballistic nylon, 600D polyester, and polyester ripstop. The outside of the bag is made up of the heavier-duty 1650D ballistic nylon, with the interior portions of the bag made up of the lighter poly and ripstop. Overall the bag feels very rugged and durable. The stitching is well done, especially on the grab handle and the shoulder strap.
For me, the Rydell has the right amount of pockets. It has one large internal pocket, a long pocket that runs the length of the bag and is closest to your body, a mid-sized pocket covered by a buckled flap, a small zippered pocket on top of the flap, and a small sunglass-sized zippered pocket on the shoulder strap that is just the right size for a Glock 19 mag with a +2 extension on it.
The strap is attached from the top of the bag to the bottom right corner of the bag. This means the bag can only be worn over the left shoulder. This is a bit of a downer, since this puts left-handed people at a disadvantage and also means your firearm might be "upside down" in your bag.
The strap has a springy, elastic top. This allows some of the impact from running / dynamically moving with the bag to be absorbed by the strap. This slightly reduces how much the bag bounces when I sprint.
The bottom of the bag is slightly reinforced. It isn't as well reinforced as a traditional day pack or laptop bag, but better than some of the other sling bags I own.
There is a padded grab handle securely attached to the top of the pack. I find a grab handle a required feature for any EDC bag.
The pockets are lined, but I would only consider the bag water resistant. The seams don't appear to be sealed, and not every part of the bag is protected by the thickest, most rubberized material.
The bag fits nicely on my body, and fits my physique as well as my cargo needs. The bag rests near the small of my back and is comfortable to wear. I look forward to wearing the bag all day during training next year.
I have adjusted the strap of the bag to allow it to rotate freely from my back to my stomach. This also means the bag bounces when I sprint and will also rotate on its own if I quickly crouch down or lean over. I could lessen these unintended movements by tightening the strap, but that would also make it more difficult to move to the front of my body if I needed to access the contents.
In my experience, I adjust the bag to be as slack as possible without being so loose as to catch on anything. Your mileage may vary, and that is why it's important to practice for your specific shape and usage.
I dislike the padded portion of the strap. It does not slide similar to how a Timbuk 2 or laptop bag pad works, and if the Rydell's strap doesn't fit you just right you're out of luck.
The zippers are very good quality. The pulls are slightly contoured, which may make them easier to pull under duress. Only the largest pocket has double zippers, so it's the only portion that can be locked. If you intend to keep a firearm in the hidden pocket close to your body be advised you won't be able to lock it.
At about $40 delivered via Amazon Prime, the adidas Rydell is a good value. The bag is well built and is comfortable to wear. If you can get past the strap this is a great candidate for an EDC bag.
7 Comments on "adidas Rydell Sling Bag For EDC Review"
I wonder if it is large enough to fit the upcoming galil ace pistol. If so, it's on my list.
There is a simple fix for the mags sliding around. Take the bag to any seamstress (or canvas awning shop) and have some Velcro added to the inside of the pocket and to the back of a mag pouch. Sure it'll add "slight" weight, but your mags wont slide around. A sliding mag could collect debris or knock a round loose, or worse cause a round to move forward just enough to be a loading issue. In addition keeping a mag in a pouch gives you a predictable presentation every time.
Great idea! I also have some fabric glue, and may try that as well.
Are we advocating using this bag for our edc pistol, or for a ld rifle.
I'm new to EDC carry of an AR-like pistol. Is this the bag you recommend or something different? What about the Blackhawk Diversion bag for fast deploy?
Or the 511 Select Carry sling pack?


We've got a Lenovo M55 8810-A31 (old desktop computer) by the TV. It's hooked up to the TV via HDMI and to the surround sound system via a normal stereo cable (no 5:1 sound, so far).
Tried running a few movies on it, from the NFS share downstairs. Using the built in movie player, the movie playback stuttered and sometimes even stopped entirely for half a second. At first, I thought it may be the network. The media machine is hooked up in the DMZ, between the Telia router watching our entrance and the pfSense router watching over the house network.
I thought that may slow things down a bit, but even when I copied a movie locally (which took forever), things were slow and movies were unwatchable. And this is with a new graphics card that manages full HDMI output and all.
So! Back to looking at software! I quickly tried installing vlc, but… that didn't improve anything. Installing my favourite mediaplayer, the mplayer, which I've never seen beaten by any media format, showed 100% improvement. No more stuttering, no more pauses.
OK, one step done, a few more to go. Since I'd installed Ubuntu 11.04 on the machine earlier, and XBMC doesn't officially exist on 11.04, I did a little "fix" (found on the net) to get it installed.
Go to the Package Manager. Click Settings -> Repositories. Under "Other Software", highlight the XBMC PPA and click Edit. For the distribution, change it to maverick.
I looked at the settings for XBMC, and made sure that VDPAU was enabled (hardware acceleration), but otherwise didn't have to change anything. I added our movie repository, and pointed out where our photos are located, but other than that I didn't do any changes at first.
Then, I found two plugins! SVT Play and Grooveshark, and things were just wonderful.
Technical guy, worked with computers since I was twelve, complete nerd, but managed to get married and am now the happy father of three kids.
Thanks a lot! This worked great with a fresh install of Ubuntu 11.04 on a system I built for a friend.
No problem. Just trying to repay for all the help I've got over the years.
I've tried this work-around several times. I run "sudo add-apt-repository ppa:team-xbmc", and it seems to work, but I cannot find the xbmc repository in the package manager. Can anyone help?
so is there a way to get surround sound yet for ubuntu 11.04 with xbmc?
Don't know? Maybe someone else does?
But I've discovered diffrences in what goodie I get depending on what OS I install. If i use the Kubuntu install I'll only get XBMC without the bells and whistles. But if I choose Xubuntu I get it all (I assume). Does anyone know why? Or is it me that's doing something wrong with the Kubuntu install? The Kubuntu install was way too heavy anyway so I'm glad i switched to Xubuntu.
Magvar, you are awesome. We need people like you in this world. I tried the steps you have posted and it all worked flawlessly. Keep up the great work..
You have to set the normal audio to analog or pulse audio will block alsas digital audio. After that you can use spdif or hdmi surround sound. As long as you set the program to use alsa, it wont work with pulse audio, XBMC uses alsa by default now.
