HUMOUR: The Many Uses of Vodka!

Hi Guys,

Without further ado, the many uses of Vodka:

1. ?To remove a bandage painlessly, saturate the bandage with vodka. The solvent dissolves the adhesive.

2. To clean the caulking around bathtubs and showers, fill a trigger-spray bottle with vodka, spray the caulking, let set 5 minutes and ?wash clean. The alcohol in the vodka kills mold and ?mildew.

3. To clean your eyeglasses, simply wipe the lenses with a soft, clean cloth dampened with vodka. The alcohol in the vodka cleans the glass and kills germs.

4. Prolong the life of razors by filling a cup with vodka and letting your safety razor blade soak in the alcohol after shaving. The vodka disinfects the blade and prevents rusting.

5. Spray vodka on vomit stains, scrub with a brush, then blot dry.

6. ?Using a cotton ball, apply vodka to your face as an
astringent to cleanse the skin and tighten pores.

7. Add a splash of vodka to a 12-ounce bottle of shampoo. The alcohol cleanses the scalp, removes toxins from hair and stimulates the growth of healthy hair.

8. Fill a 16-ounce trigger-spray bottle and spray bees or wasps to kill them.

9. Pour 1/2 cup vodka ?and 1/2 cup water in a freezer bag and freeze for a slushy, reusable ice pack for aches, pain or black eyes...

10. Fill a clean, empty jar with freshly packed lavender flowers. Fill the jar with vodka, seal the lid tightly, and set it in the sun for 3 days. Strain liquid, then apply the tincture to aches and pains.

11. Make your own mouthwash by mixing 9 tablespoons
powered cinnamon with 1 cup vodka. Seal in an ?airtight
container for 2 weeks. Strain through a coffee filter. ?Mix
with warm water and rinse your mouth. (DON'T ?SWALLOW!)

12. Using a cotton swab, apply vodka to a cold sore to help it dry out.

13. If blister opens, pour vodka over the raw skin as a local anesthetic that also disinfects the exposed dermis.

14. To treat dandruff, mix 1 cup vodka with 2 teaspoons crushed rosemary. Let sit 2 days, strain through a coffee filter, massage into your scalp and dry.

15. To treat an ear ache, put a few drops of vodka in ?your ear. Let sit for a few minutes, then drain. Vodka will kill the bacteria causing pain in your ear.

16. To relieve a fever, use a washcloth to rub vodka on your chest and back as a liniment.

17. To cure foot odor, wash your feet with vodka.

18. Vodka will disinfect and alleviate a jellyfish sting.

19. Pour vodka over an area affected with poison ivy to remove the urushiol oil from your ?skin.

20. Swish a shot of vodka over an aching tooth. Allow your gums to absorb some of the alcohol to numb the pain.

And, my personal favorite...
?
21. If all else fails, just turn the bottle upside-down and drink it. Then nothing else will matter anyway!

Shalom,
Maksim-Smelchak.

HUMOUR: Happy Bastille Day!

Hi Everyone,

Happy Bastille Day!

A friend I know wrote this:

"Today to celebrate French Independence Day I plan to have some French toast with my French roast coffee and watch some movies from my favorite French actor Jean Reno. For lunch I will have a French Dip Sandwich with a side of (of course) French Fries. So go out today and show your love of the French by buying some Confrontation miniatures from you friendly neighborhood game store."

It works for me!

Shalom,
Maksim-Smelchak.

WARGAMING: "The Next War" Session Three! (10 July 2005)

Hi Guys,

------

On July 10th, Jon Compton hsoyed our third session of "The Next War."

We started around 1:00pm and finished the air phase of turn two. Next session, we will start with the Soviet ground phase.

We finished around 7:30pm and called the session a wrap. We went downstairs (Jon's game room is upstairs... ) and chatted for awhile.

The next session will probably be this upcoming Sunday (17 July 2005).

------

Next War is truly massive game and here's a link to a review of it:

http://www.boardgamegeek.com/game/8719

------

The sides of the game are:

WARSAW PACT:
- Scott
(Soviet Marshal of the Baltic sector)
- Mike AKA Mikos
(Soviet Marshal of the Central & Northern Europe sectors)
- Rich
(Soviet Marshal of the Southern Europe sector)

NATO:
- Jon
(Supreme Commanding General of All NATO forces - Commanding Baltic & Northern sectors )
- Vince
(General of US NATO forces - Commanding Central sector)
- Maksim
(General of German, British & Canadian NATO forces - Commanding Southern sector)

------

SOVIET LAND PHASE of Turn One:

NATO was not able to take their ground phase this turn (not enough time... ) so only the USSR players moved their ground forces. Next gaming session, we will finish the NATO player's ground phase and end turn one.

The USSR ground forces made five major thrusts:

1. Soviet Movement in Southern Europe
- Marshal Rich made some very agressive moves to threaten Italy and Southern Europe.
- Southern Europe is held by a very tenuous defense of weaker Italian troops with some US reinforcement.

2. Soviet Thrust Against Austria
- Marshal Mikos moved several Soviet divisions very agressively in a thrust to make a breakthrough near the Austrian city of Wien in Central Europe.
- So far, the Austrians have held, but the Russian steamroller is persistent.

3. Soviet Movement to Crush the US Bulwark of NATO (Marburg Thrust)
- Marshal Mikos made some very ambitious and aggressive to crush US components of NATO in a thrust towards Marburg, Germany.
- Marshal Mikos very agressively moved his forward supply depots (FSBs) forward as well as support elements (Engineers, air defense cadre, etc.) in a big chain behind his forward combat units.
- He succeeds in making several breakthroughs punching a big hole through NATO lines.
- One of Marshal Mikos' biggest accomplishments is the uteerly brutal, quick and efficient taking of Berlin. NATO forces didn't stand a chance.

4. Northern Diversionary Thrust Towards Hamburg
- Marshal Mikos uses a number of armored and mechanized unit in a thrust towards the German city of Hamburg.
- There are no major victories achieved by Soviet forces, but the losses are likewise not very costly for their key result of keeping NATO forces occupied.
- The actions must be diversionary, but it still ties down NATO troops that are vitally needed elsewhere.

5. Baltic Spearpoint Aimed at Hannover
- The most feared Soviet Marshal, Marshal Scott, known for his intense aggression, pushes his units forward through NATO lines in a relentless push that exhausts his units to the limits of their endurance.
- A combination of mechanized thrusts and helibourne assaults brings Soviet forces to the city outskirts of Hannover.
- Denmark is one of NATO's Achilles Heels with many valuable sea and airports. If Marshal Scott can push this attack then he will remove many of NATO's most valuable staging areas for the war in Northern Europe.
- NATO generals fear Marshal Scott!

------

NATO LAND PHASE of Turn One:

- NATO forces concentrated on cutting off Soviet offensives and taking holding actions to concentrate on bringing NATO forces into better defensive salients.

1. Soviet Movement in Southern Europe
- The Soviets are stopped in Austria and don't make it this far.

2. Soviet Thrust Against Austria
- General Maksim concentrated Austrian units into concentrated resistence groups to make potential Soviet airstrikes dangerous prospects for the Russians.
- Soviet attacks on Eastern Austria are held to inconclusive results.
- Northern Italy moves their units to the Southeastern Alps ready to hold should the Austrians fall.

3. Soviet Movement to Crush the US Bulwark of NATO (Marburg Thrust)
- Marshal Mikos left his units sticking out in one huge finger thrust into the NATO apple pie and General Vince prompty cut off that big fat Russian finger and decimated Marshal Mikos' units wholesale.
- General Vince pushed four NATO mechanized battalions towards breaking point hitting Marshal Mikos' forward supply points and devastating Soviet supply and support units dragging behind the front of the Soviet spearhead. ?
- However, one particular Soviet HQ unit resisted successfully bringing NATO units to a dead stop. NATO analysts igure that that HQ had the alcohol stores for the army and that explains their steadfast resistence.

4. Northern Diversionary Thrust Towards Hamburg
- General Jon shored up the NATO lines making a potential Soviet attack that much more chancy next turn.

5. Baltic Spearpoint Aimed at Hannover
- General Jon shored up the NATO lines making a potential Soviet attack that much more chancy next turn.

------

AIR PHASE of Turn Two:

------

Shalom,
Maksim-Smelchak.

RPG: Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay: "Something Rotten In the Reikland!" - Session Two.

Hi Guys,

I stopped by Hobby Monkey, my local gaming shop, this past Tuesday to meet Eric-Chern, Chuck, Paul and Bo for a game of Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay. WHFR is a funny game because of the strange professions you find in the game - not your usual combination of wizards and warriors.

- Boatman: Chuck
- Charcoal Burner: Paul
- Scribe: Maksim
- Town Watchman: Bo

- Gamemaster: Eric-Chern

Shalom,
Maksim-Smelchak.

One of the reasons why I like WHFR so much is because of the strange professions. How many games do you know of where someone can be a rat skinner? (just to name one of the many oddball professions that give the game such a wonderful flavor!) ?:p ?Gotta love it! ?:D ? :laugh:

When WHFRP first came out I played it a lot, I might get back into it at some point, I really liked the non-magical/fantasy feel to the game, but knowing it was there in the background hanging around waiting just around the corner.
