 forcible extraction from the planet; without having to delve into lengthy backstory or explanation. You are a genius of economy, sir, and your style pairs very well with Winona’s expressive art to give your audience a well-rounded story in a mere 90 pages.
Very well said. While I too would have liked to see more of our heroes’ time together on Da Vinci Four, it definitely takes skill to write a story that doesn’t NEED to delve into extensive backstory to be compelling.
Melancholy is filling my heart… *sniff* Alex and Winona, thank you so much for your hard work. You made me fall in love with sci-fi for the first time, and I will never ever forget this awesome webcomic, ’cause I’ll keep rereading it untill I’m 80. Heh.
….Wait… hasn’t Deacon violated Asimov’s trilogy?
You mean like he did on Da Vinci Four?
Asimov’s laws aren’t universal.
am I the only one who doesn’t like the term “baby”?

Or, alternatively, ‘mon petit bijou’ (my little jewel). I like that one much better.
Fun fact: I read that with the closing parentheses moved one word to the right. I was like “And I thought the French were supposed to be romantic”.
Fields Edge Farm is owned by Leslie and Roger Slusher on a beautiful 145 acres in Floyd County. Farmer Kat Johnson joined Fields Edge in 2018 bringing years of experience to the farm. The Slusher family has been farming in Floyd County since 1780. The current farm has been in the family since 1955. Fields Edge was the first farm in Floyd County to be preserved by the Virginia Outdoors Foundation. The Slusher Family is committed to continuing to serve as caretakers for the land, preserving it for the generations to come.
Leslie and Roger raise a variety of vegetables on two cultivated acres and a high tunnel, with a focus on alliums (such as leeks, shallots, and garlic) and potatoes. They also raised grass-fed cattle.
Fields Edge is a Local Food Hub partner farm. We are proud to partner with Local Food Hub to connect small family farmers in Virginia to 4P FOODS customers.When New Orleans announced that it was moving on from Steve Spagnuolo, the fan reaction was immediate. Spagnuolo's defense struggled for much of the year in New Orleans, but then came around a bit as the Saints started to put some pieces in place.
But New Orleans is moving from a 4-3 scheme to a 3-4, and apparently the Saints want a defensive coordinator with experience in that front. Spagnuolo, then, is out from New Orleans.
Immediately, of course, fans wanted to know if it would be a good fit for Spags to return to Philadelphia, where he cut his NFL coaching teeth on Andy Reid's early-seasons coaching staff. The answer is that Spagnuolo is an accomplished defensive coach in this league, but that it's a very difficult question to answer given the shroud of secrecy around Chip Kelly's intentions on that side of the ball.
Will the Eagles keep the 4-3 scheme? They have some building blocks, particularly in the front seven. And if the intention is to keep
But the league is becoming a 3-4 league, it seems, and the Eagles could very well move in that direction. They would have to tinker, perhaps, a bit more with the personnel and find, for instance, an impact player to line up at the nose tackle position.
There are options for the Eagles, with a number of quality NFL defensive minds on the market, and they are being as patient and thorough with their decision as the organization was with the move to hire Kelly as head coach.
The Eagles haven't provided many clues as to what they're thinking with the defensive alignment or the coordinator. Kelly and general manager Howie Roseman have used the word "versatile" to describe the approach in general to building the roster, but they haven't gone beyond that. There have been a lot of "reports" that say the Eagles have "hinted" at having an interest in moving to the 3-4, but nobody has confirmed that.
When you study the personnel, the conclusion is that the Eagles need to be better no matter whether they play 4-3 or 3-4. There are some pieces that fit naturally into the 4-3, particularly a group at defensive end that offers promise. That said, who is to argue that
The linebackers are a question mark. Whether the Eagles play 3-4 or 4-3, they've got to have more impact on the weak side. They have to play better against the run. And, in general, they have to make more plays. A kid like Kendricks needs to be put in the right places on the field to realize his very high ceiling of ability.
When the Eagles hire a defensive coordinator, I do not know. They have been linked to a number of coaches from the college ranks, and they have reportedly been interested in some NFL coaches, including San Francisco defensive backs coach Ed Donatell, formerly the coordinator in Green Bay. I can truly tell you I have no idea who the Eagles are considering. Those making the decision haven't whispered their candidates out loud.
It could be that the Eagles want to have a defense that features multiple fronts, switching from 4-3 to 3-4 for certain opponents and moments in games. Versatility is an important part of the game in the NFL and the concept of specialization is obviously a huge part of the mode of operation on game days. In other words, maybe the Eagles want a hybrid defense. I really don't have a feel.
It's all very behind-the-scenes stuff, which is going to be decided in the next week or so. It's obviously a very important decision, for the man in charge of this defense has to turn around what last season was an incredibly disappointing unit that showed a lack of commitment to the scheme and to each other.
Let the speculation continue, then! That's all we've got until the Eagles make their plans public and tell us how they intend to aim this defense in the right direction for 2013 and beyond.Mg port like the jumbo or shoot the turret unless it’s the short 75 in which case use the second heat shell and ufp it like the b1 ter if I recall correctly. 


Edit: to clarify with the short 75,I’m referring to the  one on the Pz. 4 F1 which gets access to 100mm pen heat shells in which case the will go right through the entire upper front plate of the M4A3 and “most” of the turret but it’s kinda hit or miss there.The aphe shell will not go though the mg port or anywhere on the front according to the protection map. The F2s gun is also just a straight dump through most of the front of the Sherman although angling can cause shells to non pen or bounce. When in doubt mg port is still reliable for aphe shells along with flat turret shotsThe MM 5 hour interview and Nash's book I believe.  It's up to you if you want to believe it or not though.


Elvis and the MM QUOTE:

[When she and Vernon would get in an argument, you’d hear Gladys, but you wouldn’t hear Vernon. Gladys was a screamer. Her voice could penetrate a steel vault. And Vernon would talk under his breath real low. So when they argued, all you could hear was Gladys’s screaming.
 This was in Texas, in 1958, when Elvis was in basic training for the army. Elvis and I were sitting in the living room. 


Elvis and I both broke out in a run when we heard it, and when we rounded that corner, Vernon was lying on the floor with navy beans all over him and a big welt on the side of his head. He was out cold. She just dropped him where he sat. I said, “Holy shit!” She was slinging pots and pans, and beans were all over the kitchen.  He thought Vernon was dead.


BILLY SMITH: Vernon got his revenge from time to time. He got mean as a snake when he got drunk. That’s the times he whipped up on Aunt Gladys. That’s what really tore Elvis up. It didn’t take much to get Vernon drunk—half a pint of whiskey maybe. He’d just go crazy.





BILLY SMITH: He’d maybe slap her or something like that. I don’t think it happened all the time, so I don’t want to make it sound like it was a constant thing. Maybe half a dozen times at Graceland. One time, Gladys had a mark on her face, right this side of her eye, on the left temple. That’s a dangerous place to hit somebody.


 Now that’s a pretty harsh thing to say to your daddy. My daddy heard it, and I know he was concerned, afraid Elvis might actually kill Vernon. God, Elvis would have went stark-raving wild if he’d have known about some of those other times. I think it started when Elvis went on the road.


LAMAR FIKE: Nobody’s ever talked about this before, and I think it explains why Elvis called home so much. A lot of times, he called not so much so Gladys would know how he was, but to make sure Vernon wasn’t abusing her.


 He said, “Well, that’s number one. But number two, if I ever catch
