Charles Krauthammer dubiously suggested that the United States had successfully completed "seven out of eight" tests of a missile defense system capable of intercepting the intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) North Korea is reportedly preparing to test-fire. But the system Krauthammer specifically referred to is not designed to intercept ICBMs. Additionally, John Fund dubiously claimed that if North Korea test-fires its ICBM, the United States has "a better than 50-50 chance" of shooting it down; in fact, the system Fund was apparently alluding to has been tested only under highly artificial conditions.
On the June 25 broadcast of Inside Washington -- a weekly news program on ABC's Washington, D.C., affiliate, WJLA-TV -- syndicated columnist Charles Krauthammer dubiously suggested that the United States had successfully completed "seven out of eight" tests of a missile defense system capable of intercepting the intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) North Korea is reportedly preparing to test-fire. But the system to which Krauthammer was referring is not designed to intercept ICBMs. Additionally, on the June 23 edition of CNN's Lou Dobbs Tonight, Wall Street Journal columnist John Fund dubiously claimed that if North Korea test-fires its ICBM, the United States has "a better than 50-50 chance" of shooting it down. But as Media Matters for America previously noted, the U.S. Ground-Based Midcourse Defense (GMD) system -- to which Fund was apparently referring -- has been tested only under highly artificial conditions that say little about the system's real-world performance. Moreover, GMD system's ability to function as an integrated system has not yet been tested.
Krauthammer misleads on Aegis system
Krauthammer made his remarks during an Inside Washington panel discussion that also featured Washington Post columnist Colbert King, Newsweek magazine assistant managing editor Evan Thomas, and National Public Radio legal affairs correspondent Nina Totenberg. During the discussion, Thomas called North Korea's threat to test its Taepodong-2 ICBM "an advertisement for an anti-missile defense system." When Totenberg responded that "[t]hey haven't had one successful test" -- presumably referring to the GMD system -- Krauthammer stated that Totenberg's claim was "not true" and "ridiculous," adding that "seven out of eight" tests "on the Aegis cruiser" had been successful, and "they had one on Monday, this week." King also stated: "There was a successful test yesterday [June 22; the program was taped on Friday, June 23]."
In fact, the ship-based Aegis Ballistic Missile Defense (ABMD) system successfully tested on June 22 is not designed to intercept ICBMs, such as North Korea's Taepodong-2. Rather, it is the GMD system that is designed to intercept such missiles. As Media Matters previously noted, the GMD system has not been successfully flight-tested in at least three years.
As the Missile Defense Agency's (MDA) Ballistic Missile Defense System booklet notes, while ABMD-capable destroyers are able to "provide early warning" and "transmit track data to the Ground-Based Midcourse Defense command center" in the event of an ICBM launch, the Aegis Ballistic Missile Defense 3.0 weapon system and Standard Missile-3 Block I [SM-3] currently deployed aboard the Aegis Ballistic Missile Defense Cruisers are only "capable of intercepting short- and medium-range ballistic missiles."
As The Los Angeles Times reported June 22, the Aegis cruisers Shiloh, Lake Eerie, and Port Royal "are equipped with [SM-3] antimissile rockets, but they are not expected to be directly involved in any response to North Korea's possible launch."
On June 22, an SM-3 launched from the Shiloh successfully shot down a test missile, marking the system's seventh successful intercept test out of a total of eight.
Fund misleads on GMD system
Fund made his comments during an imbalanced panel discussion hosted by Dobbs and featuring New York Daily News columnist Michael Goodwin and Republican strategist Ed Rollins. During the discussion, Fund stated that if North Korea does test fire an ICBM missile, "we have to try to shoot it down" and "we have a better than 50-50 chance of doing it." He later added that to date, "[h]alf our tests have worked," and "[v]ery few countries want to launch a missile with a less than 50 percent chance of success, so even our willingness to take it [the North Korean missile] down would send a message."
Although the GMD system has been successful in five out of 10 intercept tests conducted so far, Fund omitted the fact that the "successful" tests of the GMD system have been conducted under highly artificial conditions, and the system's ability to function as an integrated system has not yet been tested. As Media Matters noted, previous tests of the GMD system included "artificialities" in the test conditions, such as mounting a transponder on the target warhead (effectively telling the interceptor missile its current location) to simulate a radar system that has the accuracy needed for a successful intercept, according to a February 2004 GAO report. Additionally, a March 2006 GAO report stated that despite having "conducted five successful intercept attempts ... the [GMD] program has been unable to verify that the integrated system, using production-representative components, will work in an end-to-end operation." "Until further testing is done," the GAO report continued, the MDA "will not know for sure that the integrated system using operational interceptors and fire control radars will perform as expected, or that technical problems with the kill vehicle and its booster have been fixed." The first flight test that might verify this capability, according to the report, is scheduled for November 2006. The March 2006 GAO report also stated that the GMD system had "not successfully completed an end-to-end flight test." The Missile Defense Agency's (MDA) news website does not indicate that such a test has been attempted since the GAO report was released.
From the June 25 broadcast of WJLA's Inside Washington:
GORDON PETERSON (host): The assistant secretary of defense in the current administration, Peter Rodman, told the House Armed Services Committee that if such a launch of this missile in North Korea were to take place, we would seek to impose some cost on North Korea. What cost would the United States impose on North Korea if they launch this missile?
KING: Well, that's a good question to ask -- I don't know, because if you strike North Korea -- because you're not going to take it out of the air -- if you strike North Korea, then you are going to get the conflagration that Charles is talking about. Not only will -- you'll see a lot of South Koreans lose their lives, but also a lot of American troops as well. I don't know if -- what we don't know is the same problem we had in Iraq. I don't know how good our intelligence is on their capability. We know what they are saying and what they're claiming, but we don't know whether they have the capacity to do this at this point because our intelligence is not that good on North Korea. I think what we have to do what we have been doing, and that is to keep that diplomatic pressure on and not let North Korea do what I think they're really trying to do, which is to just horn in on the Iran act. Iran is getting a lot of attention now from us because of what they -- their saber-rattling. And they want a little of that action as well.
TOTENBERG: Right. The dear leader wants to be back in the headlines. But, you know, we do have economic sanctions. I mean, we've given them aid in order to try to get them to be more cooperative.
THOMAS: One thing, this is an advertisement for an anti-missile defense system. I mean, we've sort of forgot about -- that was a huge issue in the 2000 campaign. We've spent billions buiding it --
KING: Well, they had a successful strike --
THOMAS: Well --
TOTENBERG: They haven't had one successful test.
THOMAS: That's not true. That's not true. Half the tests --
KING: There was a successful test yesterday.
KRAUTHAMMER: They've had seven out of eight, and they had one on Monday of this week.
TOTENBERG: One.
KRAUTHAMMER: That's ridiculous.
THOMAS: I think about half of them were --
TOTENBERG: And all you have to do is have a decoy --
KRAUTHAMMER: No. Seven out of eight on the Aegis cruiser.
TOTENBERG: All you have to do is have one decoy launched with it, and then you can --
KRAUTHAMMER: Oh, that's ridiculous.
TOTENBERG: I mean, it's a great idea. I just -- I think we will always be behind the curve on this. We've already spent billions putting stuff in place that is now outdated. With our new -- with our new research, the stuff that's in the ground that we've spent billions on will not work with what we're developing now.
KRAUTHAMMER: If we hadn't wasted 10 years in the '90s on doing nothing because of the ABM [Anti-Ballistic Missile] treaty, we would now be in a position where we could shoot down what will be a very primitive launch of a very primitive rocket, and it would be very easy to do.
KING: Let's not go back to yesteryear.
KRAUTHAMMER: It's not yesteryear.
KING: We need to --
KRAUTHAMMER: We let a long time -- It's not as if it can't be done.
TOTENBERG: We've been doing this since the '80s.
KING: I think Japan has as much interest as we have in not having North Korea have a nuclear capability.
KRAUTHAMMER: And they had a ship that was part of our armada earlier this week, in which we shot down a test missile. Japan is in on the program with us.
From the June 23 edition of CNN's Lou Dobbs Tonight:
DOBBS: Let me go to the next issue. Because you were talking about attack and attack. Another opportunity presents itself. That, of course, is Iran. Talking with John Bolton, the U.N. ambassador here, he said point-blank they have an opportunity, but he also made it crystal clear that there is a very serious consequence awaiting.
GOODWIN: Well, I think this is the most dangerous game of all. I think North Korea is even something of a side light next to this. I think Iran is really the game, and we've got to figure that out, and we're going to need Russia and China because I don't think this is one we can do alone.
ROLLINS: And they don't care. I think they have ignored us for a long, long time, and they'll continue to ignore us. And I think the reality is -- I think it's the combination of the two that is very, very dangerous, and I think they feel, as we sit and debate whether we should be in Iraq, I think it empanel -- empowers them to basically think they can do it without us.
FUND: Lou, the single most important thing we can do in Iran is if the North Koreans launch that nuke -- that missile in 10 days, which is about the time I think they will, I think we have to try to shoot it down. I think we have a better than 50-50 chance of doing it. If we shoot it down, that's a message to Iran: You may get your nuclear program, but I don't think it will help much.
DOBBS: I don't like the inverse message that would be all too clear if we fail to shoot it down. Because if that's a message to Iran and we fail, I don't want to think about that message too hard.
FUND: Very few countries want to launch a missile with a less than 50 percent chance of success, so even our willingness to take it down would send a message.
ROLLINS: Certainly the ultimate test of Star Wars, which we have all been advocates of before.
GOODWIN: And I think the Iranian mentality is different; I don't think they fear death. That's the issue here. And we may have all the weapons in the world, but I don't think it makes a difference.
DOBBS: Maybe I should plead guilty to not being overwhelmingly confident since I can remember talking with [atomic scientist] Edward Teller about the SDI [Strategic Defense Initiative], better than 20 years ago now.
FUND: Half our tests have worked out. Half our tests have worked.
DOBBS: I'm trying to be enthused and reassured by that. It just isn't working for me.

Analysts predict that soon, half of all new IT service desk tools will be adopted as cloud-based services. While shifting to an on-demand model can be a complex decision, requiring organizations to assess carefully the potential impact on their business operations, a growing number of companies are clearly finding the move worthwhile.
This paper explores the reasons for the rapid growth of cloud-based IT service management (ITSM) solutions and the benefits they offer for enterprises. Topics include:
� The cost savings companies can achieve by deploying ITSM solutions via the cloud, which allows better management and optimization of consumption and costs.
� Improved alignment between IT to and business, as self-service, a service catalog, collaboration, and mobility help IT expose and provide its services more effectively.
� The ability to integrate cloud and on-premise solutions to leverage existing systems while leveraging new innovations via the cloud.
� The advantages of cloud-based adoption and upgrades, which makes the latest tools available more simply, quickly, and accurately while minimizing internal IT requirements.
� The security provided through a properly built and supported cloud model.
� How cloud-based solutions can reduce the risk associated with customary application deployment methods.
� Advances in today's cloud infrastructures compared with previous generations of hosted and managed services.
� The agility cloud-based solutions enable for adapting to fast-changing business requirements.

Game is amazing for all u WW2 people. Just chk out the website and review and see for urself. Its F2P so u have nothing to lose but free time lol.
Game is amazing for all u WW2 people. Just chk out the website and review and see for urself. Its F2P so u have nothing to lose but free time lol.
just when heroes&generals updated? no thanks
On m m o site.com They do a ww2 vs H&G and ww2 kicked ass im sorry H&G wasn't for me this game is just try it its f2p ur not losing anything lol
Last edited by rtown12; 05-11-2014 at 03:03 PM.
Better graphics, class progression system, item customization, a lot of vehicles, medals that give you a small boost, planes and the best thing is that Heroes&Generals is truly free to play. No locked content. And it's not even finished yet!
WW2 offers just the basic classes or you have to pay a monthly fee. I bet you guys are desperate
Try updating the game for starters it looks like it hasn't been updated since 2000 or something.
Na everything is unlocked. U have fun with H&G only a matter of time before that game is shit anyway.
Are you serious? From that point of view both games are similar, featuring a strategic map and a limited amount of players on each battle. How is one a mmo and the other a normal fps exactly
This thread gave me cancer. PS, H&G is currently the best WWII shooter around.
My Twitch:
My Twitter:
My Steam:
Not bad game,BUT its damm f**** not worth playing without paying.....So this is just 1 big BS
All Im saying is for the Camp #100 they are doing everything unlocked for F2P. Was just trying to get more people into the game that's all I know H&G is good but if u are looking for something else.
why are u saying that ingame is ewerything unlocked? they hawe subs plans on theyr site, and f2p looks incredibly limited. basicly f2p=unlimited trial
WWII is one of my favorite games. I love how Air, land and water all work together in a simulation of a true war effort. There's no artificial bonuses or anything. It does a fantastic job of portraying both tank and plane battles. Bombing is great fun, as well.
There's just so many options in how you can participate in a battle. It's amazing watching planes flying overhead, ships in the river, AA guns firing flak, tanks patrolling around, supply trucks towing Anti-tank guns about, infantry squads clearing cities... It all adds up for an incredible experience that transcends the graphics of the game :P
H&G is also a great game. Fun and offers it's own unique features and it has many things over WWII Online as well.
In the end, they're both two different games that are played in two very different ways. They're both fun, but for different reasons.

The game is really interesting,but being limited,its just bad idea....They could do F2P on other ,smarter way.....
I understand the F2p sucks thats why I pay I have no problem paying $12 amonth. BUT FOR RIGHT NOW F2P HAS EVERYTHING UNLOCKED!!!! Just saying guys lol
One map can also last months on end. Players run what attacks and stuff
not another fps type mmo which is like an updated BF1942 ((
Be warned - I am a major player of Regnum Online the mmo. I've been playing it for about 2 years and rarely go without logging in at least once a day. You can also look at good alternatives to Regnum such ase Aion online and Aika Online.
You people today think just because a game has better graphics an shit like that it makes the game great. People like u don't deserve to play a game like this then. If ur going to say the game is boring then u are doing something wrong. Go play ur bf4 and call of duty but once them games get hold im sure WW2 online will still be running and kicking.
Only plays Magic DPS Classes, Healers and Machinist/Engineers.

Waiting On: FFXV, KH3, Tree of Savior, RE:FFVII · Saving For: New Computer
Makes me sad that everyone's arguing about these two shit games and they leave Iron Front dying a slow lonely death.

So these unlocks will they eventually be locked again to f2pers? I quite like ww2 online but never really played it long enough to actually sub to it. Heroes and generals is awesome the only thing I hate is the bomb sounds that's how good it is my only gripe is a sound lol.
No sure on that. But as of right now everything is unlocked and allies are making a push to cut axis off in Holland.

By Chris Harris
Jack Wilshere says he has exceeded his own expectations since returning to top-flight football with Arsenal.
The 20-year-old ended a 17-month wait for a first-team appearance when he faced Queens Park Rangers last month and followed that up with starts at Manchester United and Schalke.
Wilshere is preparing for his international comeback after being called into Roy Hodgson's squad for Wednesday's friendly in Sweden. And the midfielder is more than happy with his progress since recovering from ankle and knee injuries.
"I'm quite surprised actually," he told Arsenal Player. "When I first played in the [under-21s], I was really rusty and I think it was clear for everyone to see. Everyone was just being nice to me saying 'you played well'.
"Now I'm feeling better and better as every game goes on and there's no hiding place when you're playing at the Emirates, at Old Trafford and you're in front of everyone. You have to be at a certain standard so you don't let your team-mates and your fans down.
"Mentally it has been tough because you question yourself all the time. You go to the Emirates, you watch games and you think 'Has it got quicker? I don't remember it being this quick. Can I get back to this level that I was at before?'
"But I feel good now and hopefully, with a few more games, I can get back to my best."
Arsène Wenger and his medical staff have been managing Wilshere's first-team schedule carefully and the Frenchman has warned that the youngster will need time to "get his burst back".
"I know exactly what he means by that," said Wilshere. "The boss always says it to me when he's reminding me to do my gym work and train hard.
"It just means literally the first five yards. That was one of my strengths of my game - the first five yards, to beat a player. He says it's slowly coming back so hopefully it will come back soon.
"I think the boss did it [my comeback] quite cleverly because maybe if he'd told me the day before, I'd have been a bit anxious and not slept as well. I was just preparing to sit on the bench and hopefully come on at some point in front of the crowd.
"He told me at half 10 [on the day of the game that] he was going to start me. I was nervous but I didn't have time to worry about it. I just went out there and I thought I did quite well.
"The intensity was totally different from the under-21s. I played 90 minutes for the under-21s but after 60 to 65 minutes, my legs started to go and the boss took me off."
Watch the full interview with Jack on Arsenal Player from Wednesday morning.
- Jack was speaking at Great Ormond Street Hospital, where the Club opened a Lung Function Unit - a legacy from Arsenal's partnership with GOSH during the 2009/10 season

Rabbi Saperstein: "It is unconscionable discrimination for the government to deny the benefits and rights that all loving, committed couples deserve equally under law."
Contact: Eric Harris or Amelia Viney
202.387.2800 | firstname.lastname@example.com
WASHINGTON, D.C., May 18, 2011 -- Rabbi David Saperstein, Director of the Religious Action Center of Reform Judaism, this week sent a letter urging Congress to take action to end marriage discrimination under DOMA by passing the Respect for Marriage Act. The full text of the letter follows:
Dear Member of Congress:
On behalf of the Union for Reform Judaism, whose more than 900 congregations across North America encompass 1.5 million Reform Jews, and the Central Conference of American Rabbis, which includes over 1800 Reform rabbis, I write to express our strong support for the repeal of the Defense of Marriage Act through the passage of the Respect for Marriage Act (S. 598/H.R. 1116).
Passed in 1996, the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) defines marriage under federal law as "only a legal union between one man and one woman as husband and wife." This targets gays and lesbians for discrimination by denying legally married same-sex couples all of the federal benefits and protections that married couples enjoy. DOMA also provides that states, which routinely recognize marriages from other states, may make an exception for same-sex couples, violating the Equal Protection guarantee of the Fifth Amendment. Every day, DOMA denies over 1,000 protections and benefits to tens of thousands of Americans in legally recognized same-sex marriages. These federal protections of marriage include Social Security survivors' benefits, family and medical leave, equal compensation as federal employees, and immigration rights, among others. DOMA is unconstitutional, and has caused untold hardship and hurt to gay and lesbian Americans.
The holdings of any religious tradition should never set the bounds of government defined marriage, as the Defense of Marriage Act does. As the purveyor of civil marriage, government should embrace an inclusive definition of marriage that establishes equality for all couples, regardless of the sex of the people involved. It is unconscionable discrimination for the government to deny the benefits and rights that all loving, committed couples deserve equally under law.
The Respect for Marriage Act would end DOMA's injustice by repealing it in its entirety. We applaud the decision of President Obama and Attorney General Holder to no longer defend Section 3 of DOMA in courts, and to consider any law that discriminates based on sexual orientation under "heightened scrutiny," where the discrimination must be "substantially" related to an "important" government interest. This is the first recognition by the United States government that gays and lesbians have suffered a long history of discrimination that makes constitutionally suspect any laws that treat people differently based on sexual orientation.
Jewish tradition teaches, "And God created humans in God's own image, in the image of God, God created them; male and female God created them." (Genesis 1:27) We oppose discrimination against all individuals, including gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender men and women, for the stamp of the divine is imprinted on the souls of each and every one of us. As Jews, we have been among the quintessential victims of group hatred, persecution, and discrimination. We feel a keen empathy for those who can still be victimized, deprived of opportunities, jobs, or advancement because of their identity.
We urge you to support the Respect for Marriage Act, and to oppose any floor amendments or motions that would undermine its protections or its fully inclusive nature.
Rabbi David Saperstein
Director and Counsel, Religious Action Center of Reform Judaism

Sig/signature: Each member has the ability to make a custom signature which will appear below every single one of their posts. "Sigs" as they are commonly referred to generally contain links leading to a thread where a member is trying to sell or trade an item. It is a simple way of offering trades.
BST: Buy, Sell, Trade: You probably know if you're in this section but it means Buy, Sell, or Trade
56k Beware: Used to tell potential buyers that the thread contains a lot of pictures. If you're on dial-up it may slow your speed way down
F/S/T: For Sale Trade: very straight forward
WTB: Want to Buy: A member is looking to buy a particular gun or item. These threads are almost always located in the WTB section
WTT: Want to Trade: A member is looking to trade one item for another item. These threads are almost always located in the Trade Shack
WTS: Want to Sell: People rarely use this term but it means someone is looking to sell an item. These items are located in all of the selling sections
PP: Paypal, easy way to send money when purchasing an item
OP: Original post/poster (depends on context) refers to the original post for the ad or the seller
Shipped: This word generally follows a cash offer stating the price being offered includes shipping costs
Pending: Once the seller or trader and the buyer has come to an agreement on price or items being traded the seller/trader will normally write
PENDING on their thread to signify the item is basically sold
PC: Players club: This is a feature that members pay $30 to gain entrance to, you get a blue title in your members section (Like me) and are given extra bst protections such as being able to ship second when trading.
Bump: Bring up my post: Used to litterally "bump" a thread to the top of the forum where more people will see it. The rules state that members may only do this once every 12 hours
ttt: To The Top: Same as bump
BNIB/NIB: Brand new in box/New in box: The item is still in the original packaging unopened
LNIB: Like new in box: Gun shows very little signs of wear
Straight: Straight trade: Neither party adds any money to a deal
PM'ing: Private messaging: Used to exchange personal information pertaining to a deal
OBO: Or best offer: pretty straight forward, whoever gives the best reasonable offer gets the item
LMK: Let me know: When making an offer some people will say lmk to signify they want a response from the seller
Bold: When a word is bolded like this, the seller is likely pointing out an important piece of info such as problems with the item or trades he/she is interested
GLS: Good luck selling: When an offer is declined the polite thing is to thank the seller for considering or say good luck selling
NTY: No thank you. Pretty much self explanatory, it's just someone declining an offer.
I probably missed some, let me know if anything should be added or if you have any clarifying questions

'After baking her body under UV radiation in a tanning bed as often as four times a week for three years, she developed melanoma. "I was definitely a tanorexic," she said. "I never thought I was dark enough."'ABC News 6th May 2007
'A 13-year-old girl has spoken about her potentially life-threatening addiction to sunbeds – dubbed Tanorexia. Schoolgirl Hayley Barrow, from Liverpool, visits tanning parlours five times a week, saying she looks "transparent" without daily doses.'icLiverpool 24th May 2004
A tan to die for? Unfortunately it seems that in recent years there are two different ways of interpreting this expression, as we've seen a growing trend of people wanting that sun-kissed look so desperately that they're prepared to put their health at risk to get it. So acute is the obsession, that we've needed to create a new word to describe those who are plagued by it – the tanorexic.
sufferers … describe feeling that they look 'white' if they go two or three days without exposure
In western society, we usually consider skin that is bronze in colour, i.e. tanned, to look attractive, and we seem to equate it with good health and a sense of well-being. Even if we can't spend time bronzing our bodies in the outdoor sun, we've got other ways of simulating the experience inside, using tanning salons or a sunbed in the spare room at home. Despite the now widely recognised fact that ultra-violet rays (from the sun or simulated) can cause dangerous and sometimes life-threatening skin cancers, the ethos of 'tanned is beautiful' still prevails, and sadly underlies the newly-coined disorder of tanorexia.
Tanorexics believe that their skin, though in fact often quite dark, looks pale and insipid if they do not continually top up their tan. Sufferers who have publicly talked about the condition typically describe feeling that they look 'white' if they go two or three days without exposure. Recent research also suggests that UV rays in tanning beds produce endorphins, chemicals released from the brain that produce a sense of physical well-being. This means that obsessive tanners can actually become addicted to the 'high' that the UV rays produce.
The terms tanorexic (used both as a noun and an adjective to describe sufferers) and tanorexia (the related noun to describe the condition) hit the headlines in the UK in July 2007, when a 29-year-old mother died of skin cancer. Having been addicted to use of a sunbed between the ages of 14 and 21, her death was said to be directly attributable to tanorexia.
The terms tanorexic and tanorexia have been in use during the last three or four years, and are thought to have been coined by health professionals in a bid to alert people to the dangers of excessive tanning. Tanorexia is based on the word anorexia, the term for an eating disorder characterised by low body weight and an obsessive fear of becoming too fat.
Just as anorexics think they are too fat, but are in reality excessively thin, tanorexics think they are too pale, but in reality can have very dark skin. Similar to anorexia, a key symptom of tanorexia is the fear of looking 'ugly', but rather than concerns about weight, this manifests itself in frustration about the colour of the skin and extreme anxiety if a tanning session is missed.

Hi! Go for the Canon. Hands down, it's one of the best brands around. I own a Powershot myself, and in terms of durability, servicability and reliability, even if it's second-hand, it still tops. Good luck!

I have a Canon camera and its picture quality is too good. So i think its better to buy Canon Powershot A2200.

It's a step-down from the A3300 IS, getting a shorter lens, smaller LCD, and no optical image stabilization.
Posted 10 July 2012 - 09:56 AM
The Canon PowerShot A2200 is a simple, reliable, and affordable compact camera that produces nice photos and movie clips. But its shooting performance is slow. It is a solid point-and-shoot for basic snapshot needs with just enough extras to make it worth its price.

Green Bay Hosts Rival Milwaukee for Festival Foods Family Game
By: Andrew Gavin (@GBGavin)
GREEN BAY, Wis. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) – The phrase "Home Sweet Home" has held true for Green Bay in 2013-14, and the Phoenix hopes it continues to on Saturday as it hosts Milwaukee at 1 p.m. and aims for a 12th-straight home victory. A win against the in-state rival Panthers would be the 13th home victory of the season, matching the most in Resch Center history.
The Festival Foods Family Game will feature discounted tickets with pricing starting at just $9 for adults and $7 for youth. There will also be $1 hot dogs and $1 small sodas throughout the contest. The first 2,500 fans on Saturday will receive a free rally towel courtesy of BMO Harris.
On Wednesday, Green Bay got 20 points and three blocked shots from senior Alec Brown (Winona, Minn.) and 18 points, 10 rebounds and seven assists from junior Keifer Sykes (Chicago, Ill.) to down visiting UIC 81-70. The Phoenix had three players with nine or rebounds and controlled the glass, 41-32.
Sykes (34) and Brown (19) combined for 53 points when Green Bay rallied for a 93-86 overtime victory at Milwaukee on Jan. 12. The Phoenix trailed by seven points with 3:29 to play before Sykes scored seven points down the stretch to force overtime. Brown totaled four in overtime to seal the win.
Milwaukee has won two-straight games to even its Horizon League record at 5-5, posting home victories against Wright State (68-64) and Oakland (86-64).
G – #24 Keifer Sykes, G, Jr., 5-11, 175
G – #12 Carrington Love, G, So., 6-1, 171
F – #4 Jordan Fouse, F, So., 6-7, 225
F – #15 Greg Mays, F, Jr., 6-9, 222
C – #21 Alec Brown, C, Sr., 7-1, 235
LIVE COVERAGE: For fans unable to attend Saturday afternoon's game, the contest will be televised live on Time Warner Cable SportsChannel and will be available on the Horizon League Network and ESPN3. Jim Barbar will handle the play-by-play duties and David Kaplan will be the analyst.
On WNFL 1440 AM, Matt Menzl (play-by-play) and Cordero Barkley (analyst) will bring fans a radio broadcast of the game. Due to the women's basketball game at UIC at 3 p.m., the radio broadcast will not include a postgame show.
INSIDE THE SERIES: Green Bay holds a 30-21 record against Milwaukee in the all-time series. The Phoenix has won 18 of 25 games played in Green Bay, including two wins last season. Green Bay has four-straight wins in the series, including this season's win.
BLOCK PARTY: With 11 blocks against UIC, Green Bay broke the single-season program record for the fourth consecutive season. The Phoenix has 172 blocks this season, just 10 shy of the Horizon League record. Of the top-14 single-game block efforts in Green Bay history, 13 have occurred during Brown's four years in the program. Brown has 287 career blocks, just 23 shy of the conference record.
CHARITY WORK: As a sophomore, Sykes broke the Phoenix program record for free throws made in a season (159). After knocking down 10 or more in three of the past four games, Sykes has made 139 free throws in 2013-14, good for sixth most by a Phoenix player. The Horizon League's top scorer leads the conference and is 15th nationally in free throws made.
FIRST MEETING: Sykes scored 21 points in the second half and played 43 turnover-free minutes in helping Green Bay rally at Milwaukee and post a 93-86 overtime win. Sykes finished with a career-high 34 points for the Phoenix, who overcame 26 points from Jordan Aaron and 10 Panther three-pointers. Brown added 19 points, including four in the overtime as Green Bay outscored the hosts 11-4.
BOARDWORK: Against UIC, Green Bay displayed the type of outing on the backboards that made the Phoenix the league's best rebounding team a season ago. Getting nine or more rebounds from three different players, the Phoenix outrebounded the Flames 41-32. In conference play, Sykes paces the Phoenix and is tied for sixth in the HL with 6.5 rebounds per game. Junior Greg Mays (Chicago, Ill.) is adding 6.3 rebounds and sophomore Jordan Fouse (Racine, Wis.) grabs 6.1.
A-MAYS-ING: Mays continued his junior season with two great games to start the current homestand. Mays made 9-of-10 shots from the field and scored 17 of his game-high 22 points in the second half against Wright State. He then posted nine points, nine rebounds and a career-high three blocks against UIC. On the year, Mays is averaging career highs in points (10.6), rebounds (5.5), blocks (1.1) and field goal percentage (.581).
SYKES SET APART: Ranking 20th nationally in points per game, Sykes is one of just two players (Lafayette's Elfrid Payton) nationally averaging 20-plus points, five-plus assists and four-plus rebounds per game. The junior had 18 points, a career-high 10 rebounds and seven helpers in Wednesday's win over UIC.
MOVING ON UP: Brown now ranks eighth in Green Bay history in scoring (1,572 points). Sykes has scored 1,345 career points in 87 games and needs 15 points to pass B.J. LaRue into 12th place in program history.
BROWN'S BLOCKS: Brown is having the best season of his career, which includes blocks. Averaging 3.3 per game, the 7-foot-1 senior is 11th nationally. With 72 blocks in 2013-14, Brown is on pace to break his own school record of 89, set in 2011-12. Brown now owns each of the top-four spots on the program's single-season blocks chart (59, 67, 72, 89).
A LEAGUE OF HIS OWN: Brown is in the midst of the most impressive season and most impressive stretch of his standout career. The 7-foot-1 center is posting career-high numbers in points, field goal percentage and blocked shots. Against Detroit on Jan. 26, Brown became the only player in program or Horizon League history to tally 1,500-plus points (1572), 750 rebounds (760) and 250 blocked shots (284).

We've been asked to provide a "statement of account" to our leaseholder.
We don't have a sinking fund, service charge demands are sent out as required and with supporting documents. We only ask for funds in advance if there is a large item of expenditure and it is clear what the demand relates to. Last time we did this the actual bill was lower than the demand and we repaid the overpayment. Our preference all along has been to keep things simple.
Can we send a summary of the last 12 months expenditure (confirming all paid up, no problems) or we have to get an accountant involved? It seems so unnecessary (and expensive) as we are only a block of 3 flats (majority share the freehold) and the freehold isn't held by a company.

Joseph Hattrup's dissertation, "Form and Predicability in Aristotle's Categories and the Middle Books of the Metaphysics," was unanimously passed on April 19. He argued that two famous Aristotelian doctrines on substance are not contradictory in principle. Hattrup will now be referred to as Dr. Joseph Hattrup.
External Reader on the Examining Board, Dr. Edward Macierowski, professor of philosophy at Benedictine College, was impressed with Hattrup.
"Hattrup's dissertation is not only a recognizable masterwork of a young philosopher, and so a convincing sign that he deserves the doctoral degree, but also the dissertation should be revised and submitted as soon as possible to publication at a major academic press."
Hattrup's argument focused on how Aristotle develops two distinct doctrines of the notion of 'substance', a notion he generally places within the context of various 'categories' of being, in his two works the "Categories" and the "Metaphysics."
"A widely received view about these works is that they contain doctrines of substance that are contradictory in principle and which therefore show significant changes in Aristotle's thought," he said. "I am arguing that these two doctrines of substance, though different, are compatible with each other and not contradictory in principle."
Hattrup explained this in three steps. First, he argued there is a consistent and ordered procedure according to which Aristotle uses the term "substance." Second, he asserted that Aristotle does not change his mind about the criteria according to which things ought to be called substances. Third, he clarified the properties of the first causes of substances as Aristotle conceives them.
"What I hope the dissertation will contribute to the scholarly community is support for current efforts at understanding the unity and consistency of Aristotle's thought and principles, especially as regards logic and metaphysics," Hattrup said.
The examiners went through two rounds of questions and members of the UST faculty asked questions.
The Examining Board membership included:
A copy of the dissertation is available for examination in Sullivan Hall.

Having been a VW enthusiasts since I can remember but thought to share a little project of another German make as I'm coming down the home stretch on a wide body conversion.
The conversion was performed on 1985 500SEC with a kit produced from an 1983 500SEC AMG coupe saved from the crusher.
The donor was picked and pillaged pretty well before getting a hold of it but fortunately all of the vital bits were saved. 5.4 AMG modified engine, rearend and the all so gorgeous widebody kit. The donor had been issued a dismantled AZ and the decision was made to transfer all of the bits onto a healthy, California titled coupe.
AMG was merely an independent tuner before partnering up with Mercedes. A fully kitted AMG SEC sold for $100k+ back in the day!
Anyway, here are a couple of photos from the build which took approximately 9 months from the time I began stripping the donor. The widebody conversion has been completed and the interior is currently being freshed up. The 5.4 motor will be installed somewhere down the line.

Direct Drive FTW
Oil at extreme angles
A while back I was looking for a way to provide oil to the engine at extreme angles. It involved a pump and a lot of other complicated parts that simply would not work.
Got to thinking about it again this morning and tossed out all the complicated junk.
Excuse the bad sketch.
What I needed to do was get rid of the pickup screen. The pump pickup tube is split in 4 directions at the bottom which goes to the 4 parts of the pan while not getting in the way of the rotating assembly, Then I made a 4 way divert-er valve that has balls with a rods attached to them. The tough/flexible cable runs inside a tube to a float just outside the inlet of the end of the tube.
How it works is by suction and floatation.
When the vehicle sways to the drivers side the oil level does also. The float on the drivers side raises and at the same time the float on the passenger side drops. When the passenger side ball is pulled by the float it allows oil to flow around it and can not be pulled to the point of sealing off due to a stop. When the drivers side drops the ball is pulled against the divert-er by the pumps pressure providing a seal so no air gets pulled into the pump.
The fail would be if the cable broke at a extreme angle. If the rod broke the ball would be pulled against the divert-er. Under normal driving conditions 3 lines would be supplying oil at the same time. So, this would not be a issue. Under extreme angles though it would lead to a instant loss of oil pressure. But, there would not be anything entering the engine because the rod can not get past the ball.
I do not see why this would not work on extreme angles. Still may be one of those looks good on paper/been up to long ideas.So feedback would be nice.

I'm not old, honest...
Here's the problem. If you are at an extreme enough angle to lose oil pressure, you are also at an extreme enough angle that the drainage doesn't follow the proper path back to the oilpan. I have flopped more than once and still had oil pressure but could not keep the engine running because I was getting oil into my downhill side cylinders and loading up.
IMO, all that claptrap isn't worth the effort.

1 word. accumulator. you won't be sorry. i stole this from bill vista's article on pirate as i was just reading it last night.
The purpose of the accumulator is to store a volume or "charge" of pressurized oil when the engine is operating normally so that it can release this pressurized oil to lubricate the engine if normal oil pressure should drop for any reason. This makes it a perfect addition to any offroad rig and invaluable insurance against engine damage that can be caused by flops, rolls, steep climbs, or off-camber driving. How long the engine is protected from oil pressure loss depends on the size of the accumulator used, engine size, and RPM. I chose the biggest available, which holds 3 quarts of pressurized oil. Anecdotally, this will provide from 15 to 60 seconds of running time with total loss of oil pressure (e.g. upside-down with the oil pickup completely uncovered). This should provide plenty of time to get the situation under control and/or shut down the engine before engine damage occurs. However, an accumulator is not designed for, nor will it allow you to drive for extended periods of time with no oil pressure - like when the rubber is sky-side up. Nothing can help you with that except perhaps an aerobatic-aircraft-style dry-sump system. Even the more common automotive-style dry-sump systems (like those on LS7-equipped Corvettes) won't do it, as they are designed for oil control under hard braking and high lateral G loads from cornering. If you look into the complexity of fitting a real aircraft-style dry-sump system that will truly allow you to run the engine indefinitely at any angle (including highly specialized internal engine modifications, multiple scavenge pumps, gimballed tanks, etc.); and realize the cost of such a system quickly outstrips the cost of the engine in the first place; you may well decide, as I did, that a decent accumulator and learning to keep the rubber side down might just be your best option.

accumulator X2. Accumulators work great you get about 15sec of oil pressure at any angle. But jeeps are tested to 60% (31deg) grade for oil starvation. How far you planing on going? Maybe it's time for a dry sump??

Thought this was way to simplistic to work.

I'm not old, honest...
Hate to bore you with the whole video but at the 11:30 mark I had oil pressure and you can see what the oil falling wrong did to performance.

You know the kind that you lay on your stinger, need to gas it to get traction before the stinger digs in to much and you end up on your roof.
Going to be around 85" WB and 70" wide. I am building it so that it can tip and flop without to much issue safety wise or no serious damage due to the double cage design.
The doors are 14" longer then a TJ door. With a 70" outside tire to outside tire on a 60" wide body if I do do a sideways roll I would probably stop on the door.
I could see 60 seconds flying by by after a sideways roll that would leave me on my door. I am just trying to save the engine in that case.
I will just stick with the accumulator and maybe some kind of easy to hit engine kill.

After another sleepless night I have come up with a way to keep fluid at the sump level at all times. It does not involve any stupid trap doors, dropping your pan to the ground, or having it hold 13 quarts. It involves good old fashion pressure and fluid dynamics.
Basically you need a secondary tank the same size with more fluid in it then the oil pan. In this tank you have 4 cylinders with compressed gas behind them forming something like this.
In your oil pan you have the same amount of cylinders under pressure in the same configuration.
To make it work you simply route pressurized lines from the secondary tank(mounted higher) in red to the lower tank(oil pan) in yellow.
Lets take a hard right for example.
The fluid in the upper tank is pushed against the right cylinder.
The pressure is pushed through the line and pushes the right cylinder on the oil pan towards the left cylinder. Because the increased amount of fluid is pushing harder on the upper cylinder the lower right cylinder has no choice but to move in the opposite direction. This forces the oil towards the sump.
Because we are dealing with pressure the action is instantaneous. As long as you give the sump enough room for the cylinders to push the oil around it this will work.
You do not even need the upper and lower pan to be the same size. As long as the upper tank has more fluid in it it will force the lower cylinder to move. Or the cylinders are smaller or... etc. Play with the numbers and such to see what works for you.
This means you can run a smaller oil pan and get increased ground clearance for those taking notes.
Is this idiot talking about putting freaking cylinders down by the rocks?
Ok I admit even with the higher clearance and some major protection you still run the chance of damaging this setup in a crawler. That can be said about anything on a crawler really.
But, in every other freaking automotive application from drag racing to your daily driver this setup will keep the oil where it needs to be without ground clearance or having balls or flaps in your pan.
Is it perfect?
It is far from perfect your adding a component and weight and added maintenance. If one of the lines blows it will force the lower cylinder to retract and could lead to the sump running dry. Of course compared to a accusump system where a blown line means engine death, a possible fire, and less then a minute of protection when it is working. A bit of leaking nitrogen does not seem all that bad.
As far as the oil being uneven in the heads. There is no easy fix to that unless you pressurize the engine or feed every lifter.
Even a multi stage dry sump only has one pressurized feed line to the engine.
This created quite a head scratchier. I have a method that could work. It adds a lot of extra parts though.
You need to T your pressurized line off the pump and run a external line to a manifold that then splits off into how ever many lines and feed the heads that way. To keep the oil universal all around the engine you need to run ports that only allow so much pressure. Lets say 10 psi per port. You will need to put the ports low enough so they can pool and block off the pressure under all but extreme angles. The fluid will go to the path of least resistance so at those angles the the oil will head to the areas that are dry. This requires a massive amount of head work, a birds nest of lines, and a considerable amount of risk.
Most of the guys running caddy engines (like the 472/500) do this in order to run higher rpm's outside of what the designers planned on when first creating the engine. During these rpm's the rearmost parts of the engine runs dry and this burns out bearings quickly. The external line birds next method is what most the pro builders do to fix that problem in one form or another. They do not do the ports or pooling thing though as it is not needed for the angles they run.
If you stop your rig on a steep angle like that then allow the oil to to drain down of course your not going to feed the heads unless you do the birds next method.
Of course you could have simply pulled it back after taking pictures, started the engine on level ground, then tried hitting it again, and would have saved the engine.
I know I'm stupid for thinking differently. The idea of paying 5-10k for a dry sump system when this system could be made for a few hundred bucks seems stupid to me. I could be wrong, it could have a major flaw that my half awake butt overlooked. Just thought I would toss it out there and see what people end up doing with it.

Wtf is wrong with you? I thought you want a bullet proof rig now you have some oil pressure system that is more complicated than the whole engine. Just run an accumulator. If that's not enough run 4 accumulators.

yes...i am happy he's gone. it needed to be done. my gut says to temper happiness with extreme caution...
"His greatest hope, he told supporters, was that if he died at the hands of the Americans, the Muslim world would rise up and defeat the nation that had killed him."
they should have burned him!!!!!!!!
Let the conspiracy theories begin. No body-no confirmed kill. He may be on a remote island with Elvis, Marilyn Monroe and Dale Earnhardt.He may be gone, but Im curious to see if this will dampen the fires of AQ or just fuel them further.
A real president would have had a slice of humble pie took no credit and praised the work of so many fine men and women for a job well done.
I wonder though about who the american people will give credit to.
When things work out, everyone looks like a genius. But I credit Obama for the courage to take a huge risk. It would have been politically safer to do nothing. If our military folks had failed (or if the high value target turned out not to be bin Laden) Obama would have looked foolish and could have been destroyed politically. But he trusted his military guys and put the mission above his own political safety. There was real courage there that we haven't seen in a politician for awhile.
And the disposal of bin Laden's body, according to Islamic tradition and at sea, was the perfect move that reflected an understanding of the local culture that has not previously been the hallmark of US foreign policy
Respect for their culture is a good practice in any case, but in this instance it will save American lives.

I am tired of spending my energy trying to get privileged white feminists to understand the ways in which their behaviour mimics patriarchy. The same action that these women would not tolerate from a man, they are more than willing to subject women of color to. Gotta love how vagina solidarity works until the woman is question is understood as "other". I could dedicate a lifetime to yelling and cajoling white women all to no avail. For many white feminists all that matters are the ways in which a WOC can be useful. When it is about promoting something that is in their best interests we are all women. [from The Name of this Blog Is]
Renee Martin's year-old blog Womanist Musings is important reading for persons of privilege, allies, and those interested in social justice. But it's not fun, or easy. Womanist Musings has been extremely and personally challenging to me as a white feminist. Martin holds women who are used to feeling righteous and ethical responsible for their lapses in a courageous and honest way. I know there have been a couple occasions on which I've read Martin's posts and reacted poorly, blinded by my own privilege. She does not coddle, or soften the blow, but attacks your privilege with the full force of her deft logic and experience fighting oppression. Though WM's focus is on womanism (not feminism), Martin writes passionately and knowledgeably on a number of issues, including ableism, trans and LBGQ rights, mothering, and foreign affairs. Martin's ideas are far from narrow. She often focuses on masculinity and the contributions and concerns of men in an incisive way that's rarely seen on other sites.
I have known that I have privilege for a long time, but it was only after I started reading WM a year ago that I stopped patting myself on the back for that basic recognition quite so much and started criticizing my own prejudices and privileges, and the ways in which I entrench them. As this blog is evidence of, I often focus too narrowly on the oppression of folks like me - white, rich, straight women - and much less on the myriad ways in which I participate in the oppression of others.
My first few drafts of this post criticized Womanist Musings for her lack of examples, but after more research I don't think that criticism is valid. Martin always includes at least one supporting example in each piece of analysis; considering that she posts in such depth several times a day, this is more than adequate. When she is writing off a specific news story such as Jena 6, supporting examples are not always necessary. At other times the lack of constant examples contributes to the wide application of her ideas.
I have also come to realize recently that though Martin does not always specifically cite examples of the privilege that she describes, she does a very powerful job of developing long-term examples:
Normally Jessica Valenti appearing on CNN would not cause me to watch the video, however when it was suggested that feminism may be obsolete I was curious to see which women this little segment involved. Can anyone guess what I was to discover? That's right, white women were busy debating whether or not feminism has a role. The women held up as feminist icons were none other than Hillary Clinton and Angelina Jolie. Certainly no woman of color could accurately represent feminism, we seem to be fit only to babysit while famous feminists rush off to seminars to discuss their marginalization. [from Feminism: The White Women Are Chatting]
Martin's frequent critique of Feministing at first struck me as mean-spirited and bullying. I like Feministing's content and respect all of their editors, and I think that they do a good job at many things, and they have a very strong presence from a superb WOC writer - Samhita Mukhopadhyay. But as I continued to read both Feministing and Womanist Musings, I came to realize that my assessment and defense of Feministing was rooted in my own privilege. Of course I like Feministing - the editorial staff's concerns are very similar to mine.
Part of the reason I started this blog and called it "Deeply Problematic" was to engage my own bigotry and privilege. I don't think I've done that yet, but I'm learning, and I'm doing the best I can:
Decolonizing your mind is dirty work, so don't expect to be all pretty when you are done, but at least at the end of the road you can declare yourself a thinking woman of courage and agency. [from Pearl Clutchers]
The rift between WOC and white women needs to be healed. Each new slight just adds to the bitterness and contempt and is the equivalent of pouring salt into an open wound thereby further dividing us from each other. When there is such a large history of betrayal we cannot afford to continue to fuel the negativity as it only detracts us from our common enemy: patriarchy. [from Womanism/Feminism....Feminism/Womanism]
Miranda's ill-advised post on Feministe got me thinking about this again: why don't we do our own dirty work? What's so hard with sitting down, and listening? I know I've used friends of color and trans friends in the past as teachers, and I shudder to think what kind of ignorance I've subjected them to. When we know which sites are resources, (I'm thinking of Questioning Transphobia in addition to Womanist Musings), white cis feminists need to add the feed to our reader, learn, and comment on issues of substance rather than expecting experiential knowledge on demand.
Womanist Musings is a valuable resource for any reader interested in social justice. Though it is not a feminist site, it's been crucial to my recent development as a feminist. WM is a difficult but worthwhile body of work that has brought me to a new, fuller (though still incomplete) understanding of social justice. I highly recommend it.

The National Automatic Merchandising Association's Coffee, Tea and Water show has grown over six years from a small gathering in Cherry Hill, NJ, to a sold-out symposium with a distinguished lineup of speakers that organizers predict will draw record crowds to Nashville in November. Doing double-duty as NAMA chairman and co-chairman of this year's CT&W show is Pete Tullio of World Wide Vending and Gourmet Coffee Service (Van Nuys, CA).
The OneShow and Coffee, Tea & Water show are in a continued growth cycle, which is another reason it's a great time to be the chair of NAMA, which is something for which Carla Balakgie and Dan Mathews and the rest of the team deserve tremendous credit.
How is CT&W show shaping up? How does it compare with last year's biggest-ever show in New Orleans?
All indications are that we're looking at a record event, in terms of both attendance and exhibitors. Exhibit space is sold out with 115 suppliers. That's up 15% over 101 exhibits at last year's show in New Orleans. Initial registration data suggests strong participation from operators across the country. With great education, products, networking and ideas -- and the draw of Nashville -- it's a can't-miss event if you're involved in the coffee and water segment.
Last year's CT&W had 16 educational programs. How does this year's show stack up? What's new and different?
Even better!

@JWebbAFC - Brilliant game Arsenal. Love the fact that Robin has scored more goals than Wigan this season, Well done @Persie_Official
@AfcBen7 - Wigan away was brilliant. Team spirit looks better than it has for years. Szczesny, Arteta and Walcott especially good.
@sophie_best10 - Great to see a clean sheet, everyone had a great game and it was nice to see Gervinho on the scoresheet. Solid defence getting better.
@mosestomtom - Van Persie plays as if there's a bubble of calm round him. Quality footballer.
@wayhik - Arsenal marches on. RvP brilliant and Arteta was sublime. Fantastic result.
@Mwinyiisa - Brilliant performance for Arsenal. Good work from Arteta, Van Persie, Gervinho and the rock Vermaelen.
@CammyAFC125 - Good performance and four different scorers! Arteta and Gervinho always score when I go…
@markbrus - Arteta was brilliant today, we should've signed him years ago.
@OffsideArsenal - I thought Mertesacker played very well and Koscielny was just solid.
@114_RMOrvin_155 - Awesome from the first team! Looking forward to another encouraging performance from the young Gunners in Greece.
