The oral histories include veterans’ memories from as early as WW1 and include personal stories of naval personnel recently returned from duties in Bosnia, Afghanistan, Cambodia, East Timor and the Sinai. Oral Histories The Oral History Project commenced in 1991 as part of the celebrations for the 50th Anniversary of the Royal New Zealand Navy.Places Read about the history of ‘Elizabeth House’ -the home of the Women in the Navy during WWII and ‘HMNZS Tamaki’ – a training establishment for personnel in WWII.Read about ‘HMNZS Gambia’ – the ship known to have fired the last shots of WWII and ‘HMHS Maheno ‘– a hospital ship that carried injured men back home to New Zealand in WWI. Ships New Zealand’s naval ships have undertaken a range of tasks and operations.He is the author of the graphic novels War Fix, War Is Boringand Machete Squad. Mark Leavitt, commander of the Navy’s East Coast MH-53Es, told National Defense.ĭavid Axe serves as Defense Editor of the National Interest. “We simply do not have the assets in the pipeline to do what we’re doing right now,” Capt. While the Navy is happy with its minehunting companies and getting closer to being satisfied with the LCS as a mine-warfare vessel, the aerial component of the minesweeping missions continues to be a problem. The MH-60 is more reliable than the MH-53E is but cannot haul a sled like the MH-53E can do, making the former a less effective minesweeper. And their low- and slow-flying mission profile is risky and has resulted in one of the highest crash rates of any military aircraft community. The powerful MH-53Es with their three engines haul ocean-skimming sleds that carry sonars for detecting mines. The MH-60s partially replace the Navy’s 27 MH-53E heavy minesweeping helicopters. In addition to drones, the LCSs could embark MH-60S helicopters carrying laser sensors that can scan the sea for the telltale shape of underwater mines. The robot boats would haul sonars that could detect mines. Unhappy with the performance of some of its underwater drones, the Navy is embarking drone boats on the LCSs in place of the undersea ‘bots. The LCSs’ mine-warfare loadout still is in flux. Converting just 15 LCSs into minesweepers leaves sets of drones that the fleet could use to expand the ExMCM force. The Navy actually bought 24 LCS-compatible minehunting kits, each with its own drones. Four each minehunters will remain in Bahrain and Japan for a few more years as the Navy continues installing minehunting systems on 15 LCSs. The fleet in the meantime is preparing to decommission, sometime in 2020, three Avengers that are based in the United States for training. The Navy has been so pleased with the ExMCM companies that Merwin said he’s considering spending part of his $4-billion mine-warfare portfolio adding companies for the 7th Fleet and 6th Fleet, respectively in the Pacific and Atlantic regions. “A sailor recently aboard one ship said the sonar meant to detect mines was so imprecise that in training exercises it flagged dishwashers, crab traps and cars on the ocean floor as potential bombs.” “The companies that used to make a variety of spare parts no longer exist,” ProPublica reported. The 1,300-ton-displacement Avengers reportedly are unreliable and rarely leave port. The ExMCM companies currently deploy only to the 5th Fleet area of operations in the Persian Gulf, reinforcing four Avengers that sail from Bahrain.

The main goal was really learning the game, inoculating yourself (basically vaccinating against the Scorched disease) and finally taking back Appalachia and eliminating the scorched threat with the rest of the Vault 76 Dwellers (aka the other players). and also giving you the lore on the new enemy type, the Scorched. #FALLOUT 76 REVIEW SERIES#The old main questline was basically a series of activities that mixed both tutorials on cooking, crafting, building a base, etc. I stayed for 2 huge reasons until about Summer 2019 when I decided to quit until Wastelanders dropped (had done all the content and events by then) and those were the remarkably phenomenal community (best online community I’ve ever, *EVER* encountered in my years of gaming, which warrants a section alone in this review) and the interesting and extremely detailed world of Appalachia, West Virginia.īut here we are… Wastelanders promised a lot: human NPC’s, dialogue (with speech checks), factions, companions, new gear and endgame content, new enemies and raid boss, new locations and just… a new experience, I suppose.Īnd it delivered… for the most part.

However I've never been able to get the OS X version to rip a DVD-Audio disc. DVDAExplorer is available for Windows operating systems and Mac OS X. I've had fairly good success with DVDAExplorer but know many audiophiles who just can't get the hand of the application. DVDAExplorer is geared more toward the technically inclined users who can handle post-ripping file format conversions and don't mind tagging the tracks after the rip. DVDAExplorer is free and available from the Video Help website. A popular and free application is DVDAExplorer. There are a few applications available that enable one to rip DVD-Audio discs. What follows is a step by step guide to ripping DVD-Audio discs, ripping the audio from DVD-Video concerts, and ripping HDAD discs. #DVD AUDIO EXTRACTOR GET TRACK TITLES HOW TO#Readers must learn at some point how to rip this great music to their music servers. That's 100% normal and not a slight on newbies here on Computer Audiophile. Although seasoned computer audiophiles have been ripping DVDs for years most audiophiles making the move to a computer based system have no idea these discs can be ripped and certainly have no idea how it's done. Most audiophiles don't realize a great source of "popular" high resolution material is already sitting on their shelves, and can still be purchased new/used and be ripped to their music server. The most frequently voiced displeasure relates to the lack of "popular" music available at resolutions equal to or greater than rebook CD (16 bit / 44.1 kHz). The current selection of high resolution downloads is growing weekly, but is still inadequate for most music aficionados. "That voice is so silky smooth," Clarkson gushed after his performance, clutching a Michael Bolton t-shirt in her hands. "New York has the best pizza in New York, but if you’re … in downtown New Haven in Connecticut, pizza means life itself," he said.ĭespite his chart-topping, multiplatinum success, Bolton said "being open to different types of music just increases your love and understanding of music." In a pretaped interview, Bolton visited the "iconic" Connecticut pizza shop Sally’s Apizza. "After all of the lessons we’ve learned, we’re gonna make this a beautiful world." "We’ve gotta love like we’ve never been hurt, we’ve gotta rise like we’ve never been burned," Bolton sang. Grammy-winning singer Michael Bolton slowed things down with Connecticut charm while performing the stirring power ballad "Beautiful World." 'American Song Contest': Everything you need to know about NBC's version of 'Eurovision' Michael Bolton wows Kelly Clarkson: 'I felt like he was singing directly to me' state and territory will compete on "Song Contest," including famous singers like Jewel (representing Alaska), Michael Bolton (Connecticut) and Macy Gray (Ohio), along with lesser-known talents. The eight-week competition's premise is inspired by the long-running "Eurovision Song Contest," an annual singing contest that's introduced the world to music icons such as Spanish singer-songwriter Julio Iglesias, as well as Swedish pop group ABBA and pop powerhouse Celine Dion.īut instead of European countries competing for the title, 56 vocalists representing each U.S. State pride was on the line Monday night as 11 singers repped their hometowns during the "American Song Contest" premiere.

Requiring just a wedge for most golfers, this approach plays to a narrow, undulating green surrounded by three bunkers. The only thing in view from the teebox are deep bunkers squeezing the fairway at 160 yards, but there’s ample fairway beyond them. The 3rd hole is the shortest par 4 at just 326 yards, but another blind, uphill forced carry makes this another difficult teeshot. From the 3rd teebox, you have a panoramic view of some of the best holes on the course, Pleasant Bay, and the ridiculously unique terrain. The 2nd teeshot is one of the toughest on the course The approach at 2Īfter a short walk back over the road, you come across one of the most breathtaking views in American golf. This approach then runs uphill to a tiny, undulating green. Featuring a blind teeshot over an 150 yard forced carry, this fairway slides right with bunkers on the left at 180 and 250 yards and fescue down the right. The uphill par 4 opener The approach at 1Īfter a short walk across Fox Hill Rd., the 2nd is a short but intimidating 350 yard par 4. Take at least one club extra to reach this heavily back-to-front sloped green. Midline bunkers are to be avoided but begin at 275 yards so they won’t be in play for most golfers. #Eastward ho PatchOfficially 380 yards, this hole plays longer with a patch of fescue down the left and OB right. The opening hole is one of the few without water views, but is a terrific opening hole as a sweeping uphill dogleg left. This design works well on water property, as Pete Dye utilized it on both The Ocean Course and Whistling Straits. The overarching theme at Eastward Ho! is fun and honestly we need more modern courses built with this in mind.Ĭonstructed on a narrow isthmus, the layout is routed in a figure-eight shape, with the 1st and 10th running away from the central clubhouse and 9th and 18th returning to it. At just over 6,400 yards from the Tips, this isn’t the longest course, but uneven lies, dramatic elevation changes, and the ever-present wind pose a serious challenge. In addition to sensational views of Pleasant Bay from almost every hole, Eastward Ho! is most famous for its undulating fairways, which are some of the wildest you’ll ever play thanks to the glacial moraine it sits on. I have no idea how Eastward Ho! isn’t a top 100 course by every publication, and I can’t think of any course in New England I’d rather play on a summer day than here. Undeniably the most aesthetically pleasing course in all of New England, it also features a terrific routing with some of the best holes in the world. Hole Descriptions: There are certain courses that have that “it” factor and make it so you never want the day to end. Their superintendent, Frank Hancock, came from Shinnecock and is one of the best in the business. #4 Best Private Course in Massachusetts – Golfweek (2022)Ĭonditions: 9/10, Eastward Ho! is one of the best maintained seaside courses on the east coast, with thick rough, firm ryegrass fairways, and quick bentgrass greens that roll extremely true.#5 Best Course in Massachusetts – (2020).#4 Best Course in Massachusetts – Golf Magazine (2020).#7 Best Course in Massachusetts – Golf Digest (2021).#43 Best Classic Course in America – Golfweek (2022).#53 Best Course in America – Golf Magazine (2020).#128 Best Course in America – Golf Digest (2021).#64 Best Course in North America – (2018).Considered the finest course on Cape Cod, Eastward Ho! currently holds the following accolades: In 2004, Keith Foster removed thousands of trees that had blocked water views and again returned the course to its former glory. Unfortunately, rapid tree overgrowth and poor conditions plagued the Club as it matured and its reputation faded. Upon its completion in 1924, Fowler remarked, “I am quite certain that this course will compare favorably with the leading courses in the United Kingdom and will be second to none of them.” Initially named Chatham Country Club, the course was renamed Eastward Ho! in 1928 to compliment Fowler’s Westward Ho! in England. Herbert Windler and other prominent Boston businessmen discovered this and enlisted Englishman William Herbert Fowler for the design. History: Once home to a World War I Naval Base, a luxurious hotel, and Squanto’s burial ground, Eastward Ho!’s land is uniquely suited for links golf. Designer: William Herbert Fowler (1922), Keith Foster (2004, Renovation)

The medic will only heal other soldiers who call for him when he is not following the player. When nearby soldiers call for him, he'll heal them with any remaining supplies he has. To coax your medic into healing other soldiers, lead him to the wounded characters and "use" him to tell him to stay put. Therefore, a medic that has been commanded to follow the player will never aid another wounded soldier. However, players often will wish to keep all of the medic's supplies for themselves or the player will simply not want the medic to interrupt his alert combat mode by healing a wounded soldier. If a friendly soldier is wounded and calls "Medic!" within earshot of the medic, he will move to their aid. The medic class can heal other nearby friendly soldiers.
