Thanks

WOW no one heard of this game

I am glad she was able to defend herself but all too often kids get killed by the guns in the home.......mine were always locked up, with the actions locked in separate location. The fact that they were illegal aliens is a non issue.......bringing it up just draws attention away from the real story....an 11 year old was lucky enough to shoot someone that deserved to be shot

unemployed?

I am looking for the game 7th legion is was a pretty good RTS.....it had some interesting aspects to it....any help

British news paper salutes Canada . . . this is a good read. It is funny how it took someone in England to put it into words... Sunday Telegraph Article From today's UK wires: Salute to a brave and modest nation - Kevin Myers, The Sunday Telegraph LONDON Until the deaths of Canadian soldiers killed in Afghanistan , probably almost no one outside their home country had been aware that Canadian troops are deployed in the region. And as always, Canada will bury its dead, just as the rest of the world, as always will forget its sacrifice, just as it always forgets nearly everything Canada ever does. It seems that Canada 's historic mission is to come to the selfless aid both of its friends and of complete strangers, and then, once the crisis is over, to be well and truly ignored. Canada is the perpetual wallflower that stands on the edge of the hall, waiting for someone to come and ask her for a dance. A fire breaks out, she risks life and limb to rescue her fellow dance-goers, and suffers serious injuries. But when the hall is repaired and the dancing resumes, there is Canada, the wallflower still, while those she once helped Glamorously cavort across the floor, blithely neglecting her yet again. That is the price Canada pays for sharing the North American continent with the United States , and for being a selfless friend of Britain in two global conflicts. For much of the 20th century, Canada was torn in two different directions: It seemed to be a part of the old world, yet had an address in the new one, and that divided identity ensured that it never fully got the gratitude it deserved. Yet its purely voluntary contribution to the cause of freedom in two world wars was perhaps the greatest of any democracy. Almost 10% of Canada 's entire population of seven million people served in the armed forces during the First World War, and nearly 60,000 died. The great Allied victories of 1918 were spearheaded by Canadian troops, perhaps the most capable soldiers in the entire British order of battle. Canada was repaid for its enormous sacrifice by downright neglect, it's unique contribution to victory being absorbed into the popular Memory as somehow or other the work of the 'British.' The Second World War provided a re-run. The Canadian navy began the war with a half dozen vessels, and ended up policing nearly half of the Atlantic against U-boat attack. More than 120 Canadian warships participated in the Normandy landings, during which 15,000 Canadian soldiers went ashore on D-Day alone. Canada finished the war with the third-largest navy and the fourth largest air force in the world. The world thanked Canada with the same sublime indifference as it had the previous time. Canadian participation in the war was acknowledged in film only if it was necessary to give an American actor a part in a campaign in which the United States had clearly not participated - a touching scrupulousness which, of course, Hollywood has since abandoned, as it has any notion of a separate Canadian identity. So it is a general rule that actors and filmmakers arriving in Hollywood keep their nationality - unless, that is, they are Canadian. Thus Mary Pickford, Walter Huston, Donald Sutherland, Michael J. Fox, William Shatner, Norman Jewison, David Cronenberg, Alex Trebek, Art Linkletter and Dan Aykroyd have in the popular perception become American, and Christopher Plummer, British. It is as if, in the very act of becoming famous, a Canadian ceases to be Canadian, unless she is Margaret Atwood, who is as unshakably Canadian as a moose, or Celine Dion, for whom Canada has proved quite unable to find any takers. Moreover, Canada is every bit as querulously alert to the achievements of it's sons and daughters as the rest of the world is completely unaware of them. The Canadians proudly say of themselves - and are unheard by anyone else - that 1% of the world's population has provided 10% of the world's peacekeeping forces. Canadian soldiers in the past half cent ury have been the greatest peacekeepers on Earth - in 39 missions on UN mandates, and six on non-UN peacekeeping duties, from Vietnam to East Timor, from Sinai to Bosnia. Yet the only foreign engagement that has entered the popular on-Canadian imagination was the sorry affair in Somalia , in which out-of-control paratroopers murdered two Somali infiltrators. Their regiment was then disbanded in disgrace - a uniquely Canadian act of self-abasement for which, naturally, the Canadians received no international credit. So who today in the United States knows about the stoic and selfless friendship its northern neighbour has given it in Afghanistan ? Rather like Cyrano de Bergerac , Canada repeatedly does honourable things for honourable motives, but instead of being thanked for it, it remains something of a figure of fun. It is the Canadian way, for which Canadians should be proud, yet such honour comes at a high cost. This past year more grieving Canadian families knew that cost all too tragically well. ********************* Please pass this on to any of your friends or relatives who served in the Canadian Forces or anyone who is proud to be Canadian; it is a wonderful tribute to those who choose to serve their country and the world in our quiet

This letter says alot..............I served for 13 years...........and this letter makes me even prouder to be Canadian Subject: Sunday Telegraph (London) of Sunday, July 8, 2007 salutes Canada Well, interesting articles........ and having served alongside many Air Force individuals, of the nationalities making up this great country, I can absolutely assert that the issue of which accent any of us were blessed with did not in anyway take away from our collective desire to serve our 'Canadian' Country to the best of our ability, and be damned to the politicians who created devisive issues to further their political agenda and garner votes in Quebec. This service is being continued proudly by each of the Canadian Armed Forces, from all sections of Canada, including the proud Regiment from Quebec. I would hope that my French-Canadian colleagues do not harbour any ill-feelings that arose from our daily exchanges in humourous repartee as we went about our varous aerial tasks. I certainly don't, and indeed that close connection to each other has created a life-long admiration and friendships between us. Joe This was sent to me by another ex-Brit. He always expresses his thoughts rather well. Hi Everyone, Do hope that all is going well for you and that you are enjoying the spell of good weather that arrived here on the West Coast this week. This was forwarded to me by a friend and I see at the end the originator asked that it would be sent on. I think the piece expresses very much how little people both in and outside Canada know of just how much Canada has given in the struggles against - and there is no other words for it - tyranny. The author of the piece put his finger on the reason that the world knows so little of what Canada did and is still doing. The noise made by the United States not only drowns the few trumpet notes made by Canada but has given Canadian politicians an inferiority complex that they don't hear the tune either. As an ex Brit I am deeply grateful to the tremendous support that Canada gave to the UK in both world wars. It took the Canadians to break the German line in WW1 and show the way for later British, French and American troops assaults that finally defeated the German army. In WWII long before America got into the war Canada was helping to get the convoys across to the UK to prevent us from starving. The Canadian troops came across the Atlantic very quickly to help provide a shield against German invasion after the debacle of the Phony War. Canadian airman served with the RAF some as early as the Battle of Britain and later in Bomber Command as the war was taken to Germany. It was Canadian troops that were used as the Dieppe test of Hitler's Atlantic Wall. And as well as being among the first to land in France on D-Day it was Canadian troops that largely liberated Holland. Canadian industry produced vast quantities of ammunition and war material and it was Canada that provided that great training programme for pilots for not only their own air in the UK but also for training of the British replacement crews. This is my opinion but I think part of the reason why Canadian trumpets have been muted is that Canadian politicians fearing to upset the Quebecois who by and large were very reluctant to support Canadian military efforts. Canadian politicians rely on the Quebecois to give them majorities in Parliament and even up to now favour Province of Quebec. I do not think that it has been the French-Canadian troops that have ever dragged their feet as one of the crack regiments is The Van Doux's stationed in Quebec City. They are currently being killed in Afghanistan. It is the Quebec politicians that seem to frighten the politicians from the other founding nation. I do not know what prompted the writer to pen that article in the Telegraph but I am pleased that he did so. Cheers, best wishes from DonC

i might try the demo

not a clue if my system will run either I want to try demo

Samurai would definitely win more training more speed and still the powerful sword blows. knights weapons are mostly about power samurai is about power, speed and agility
