Series: The Human Fossil Record
In this series, James Kidder provides an intriguing study on transitional fossils and the evolutionary history of modern humans. He begins by discussing the fossil record, explaining how new forms are classified. He then explains the physically distinguishing trait of humankind—bipedalism. From the discovery of Ardipithecus, the earliest known hominin, to the australopithecines, the most prolific hominin, Kidder focuses on the discovery, the anatomy, and the interpretation of these ancestral remains.
Series: Excerpts from "Evolving: Evangelicals Reflect on Evolution"
We need to hear stories from others who have wrestled with evolution and Christian faith. What arguments made them change their views on science? How did they hold fast to their relationship with God? The essays in this series will eventually comprise a book, provisionally titled, "Evolving: Evangelicals Reflect on Evolution."
Humanity as and in Creation
Christian theology asserts that humans are spiritual creatures, a unity of body and spirit or "soul," integrated, not reducible downwards to mere matter or upwards to mere spirit.
A Scientific Commentary on Genesis 7:11
Although committed to the principle of sola Scriptura, Calvin recognized that the Bible would have been written in terms its original recipients would have understood. Calvin inherited the medieval cosmology of his time, a way of viewing the world heavily influenced by Greek thought and one which was about to receive shocks from astronomers such as Copernicus and Galileo. But not just yet.
Surprised by Jack, Part 3: Mere Depravity
"Man is now a horror to God and to himself and a creature ill-adapted to the universe not because God made him so but because he has made himself so by the abuse of his free will. To my mind this is the sole function of the doctrine [of the Fall]."—C.S. Lewis
Series: From the Dust
In this series, Ryan Pettey offers several clips from his powerful documentary "From the Dust". This feature-length film is divided up into various sections, each of which wrestles with the difficult problems that arise when reconciling Scripture with the theory of evolution. A light of hope dawns on the science-faith conversation, however, as scientists and theologians engage in honest dialogue about tough issues such as the interpretation of Genesis, the nature of the Fall, and the idea of random design. Their profound insights are sure to enlighten all minds, raise deeper questions, and provoke new thought.
Shaping the Human Soul, Part 5
We need to have an account of Sin in terms of habit. A lot of Christians today think of "sins" and discreet choices, but historically Christians have thought of Sin as a habitual tendency and disordering.
Science and the Bible: Theistic Evolution, Part 4
Scientist-theologians who write about TE also think about creation and theodicy in terms of divine "kenosis" and eschatology. So today we'll conclude our "implications" section by returning to creational theology, and then turn to the ways TEs re-think Adam and Eve in light of human evolution.
Denisovans, Humans and the Chromosome 2 Fusion
The Denisovans, an extinct hominid group that interbred with modern humans, made the news again lately with the publication of a more detailed study of their genome. One of the many interesting findings was that the Denisovans share the same chromosome 2 fusion that modern humans have.
Being Human (Infographic)
The BioLogos Forum is pleased to present this infographic about the current anthropological understanding of human evolution, which takes into account research into both physiological and cultural developments among our ancient ancestors.
Hominids Lived Millions of Years Ago, but How Can We Tell? (Videocast)
This BioLogos videocast addresses the age of recently discovered hominid fossils and how scientists are able to obtain those dates.
Adam's Dream
While the specific "how" of our being made into the image of God will probably always remain a mystery, the Bible and creeds are clear on the "why" of our creation: we were made to worship the Lord, and be in relation with Him and each other.
Series: Scripture and the Authority of God
N.T. Wright explores the context and manner in which Scripture is authoritative. He does so by questioning the meaning of an authoritative book as well as the application of such authority. Wright encourages us to flee from the controlling "list" mentalities that belittle the richness of God's Word, and rather to understand it as a narrative inspired by God and recorded by ancient persons. Ultimately, God "organizes" his people through his Son Jesus and by the Holy Spirit, and not through extracted rules from the Bible.
Behold, the Man
Anyone interested in the faith and science conversation knows that there currently is considerable, heated debate over the problem of "Adam." I'd like to suggest that this argument is in significant ways misplaced.
The Fall
The lyrics begin by painting a picture of the Fall as something in which each person has participated: "The fruit (of the Fall of man) is seen in every eye and every hand."
A Lively God
In today's video, Rev. Lincoln Harvey discusses our desire to "domesticate" the liveliness and abundance of God. Harvey notes that the Trinity highlights both the manyness and oneness of God, which can be hard to Christians to fully understand.
Science or sola Scriptura?
So, for Driscoll, the choice is a simple dichotomy: Scripture or science. Scripture is the highest court of authority in all matters, and the role of believing scientists is to affirm Scripture. To fail to do so is to "exchange the truths of Scripture for the truths of science".
Life and Death
If you go back into the Genesis account, it says "now do not eat this or you will surely die". There is a whole chain of events that happens when Adam and Eve decide they want to walk away from God.
Series: Understanding Evolution
This blog series by Dennis Venema undertakes the task of clarifying numerous aspects of evolution that often become misconstrued by Christians. He first discusses the idea of speciation in a population over time, later applying it to the speciation process that occurred among hominids (human ancestors) which led to modern humans. He continues to support this idea by exploring so called "Mitochondrial Eve,""Y Chromosome Adam" and other compositional clues of the human genome.
The Truthfulness of Scripture: Inerrancy, Part 1
Against the repeated claim that the doctrine of inerrancy arose first with Protestant orthodoxy, we could cite numerous examples from the ancient and medieval church. It was Augustine who first coined the term "inerrant," and Luther and Calvin can speak of Scripture as free from error.

CORTE MADERA, Calif.–Home specialty retailer Restoration Hardware has amended its merger agreement with an affiliate of private-equity firm Catterton Partners.
Under the terms of the amended merger agreement, all of the outstanding shares of Restoration Hardware will be acquired for a price per share equal to $4.50 in cash. The $4.50 per share cash consideration reflects a 68 percent premium to the closing price of Restoration Hardware common stock on Nov. 7, 2007, the last trading day before the announcement of the merger agreement.
The total equity value of the transaction is roughly $179 million.
The amendment also moves the outside termination date for the merger agreement from April 30 to June 30 and "changes the definition of material adverse effect to increase the likelihood that the transaction will close if the company experiences weakness in its operating results," Restoration Hardware said in a statement.
Through its affiliates, Catterton Partners has provided a $25 million subordinated loan to Restoration Hardware for working capital purposes. "The amended merger agreement today comes as the company and the home-related retail sector face increased pressure," according to the statement. "The subordinated loan provides the company with substantially enhanced near-term liquidity to operate in the current environment. The amended merger agreement provides our shareholders a substantial premium to both the unaffected stock price on Nov. 7, 2007, and our current stock price while providing greater certainty of closure."

We are planning to close the DofE office most of the w/c 4th April, therefore you may prefer to hold any non urgent correspondence enrolments/approvals and send them in to the new office from 11th April onwards, rather than risk something getting buried in a removal box!

Approval Forms
We have already started the busy expedition season with numerous approval forms and Evolve approvals flooding into the office.

continue to refer to your protocols and guidance notes
adhere to the required 8 weeks notice (any forms received after this period may not be processed and the trip will have to be postponed)

Landeez - All Terrain Wheelchairs Available for Hampshire based sites to loan (for FREE)
Hampshire County Council has purchased 15 All Terrain manual wheelchairs as part of the Aiming High for Disabled Children Programme.
These have been purchased to help increase accessibility to out of school activities in the outdoors/countryside.
We have had a number of these out and about at sites and so far feedback has indicated that they:
·Go over tree roots and mud with ease
·Travel well on sand
·Travel well over grass
·Travel easily over gravel
·Travel over pebbly beaches (can provide a bit of a work out when pushing up slopes!)
·Easy to store
·Low maintenance
·Easy to manoeuvre
·Easy to break down
·Easy to put together
·Kids see them as fun to use
·Work well on snow!
·They can be hosed down if they get mucky
·Are made from Marine Grade steel so can be used in and around fresh and salt water (and in the rain!).
Note that they are not 'self propelling' - someone will need to push the person in the chair. These can provide a much more user friendly solution than expecting people to use their standard wheelchairs on our sites. And it means that everyone can enjoy the ruggedness of the outdoors.
At the moment we have 6 available for sites to have for a trial period e.g. a month or more. This presents a number of opportunities:
·They can be loaned to customers to use on your site to increase accessibility.
·Staff can 'have a go' to see what it's like to move around your site in a wheelchair, exploring the overall physical accessibility.
If you would like to take up this offer please contact either Pat Jenner (email@example.com) to discuss and I will look to deliver them to you where possible. Happy to talk through and demo how they go together etc. The website above also provides loads of information and details.
DofE Photos plea
We have realised we have quite a low stock of 'DofE' photos to use on publications, website etc.
If anyone would like to forward any suitable photos, then please do!
We will credit where possible.

Use of Hampshire Transport Management minibuses - refuelling
Please can all users be aware of the refuelling procedure regarding hire vehicles from Hampshire Transport Management.
With current high fuel prices, it is important that all users replace the fuel they have used. Failure to do this will result in the hire company refuelling at extortionate forecourt prices.
Please take note of the hire fuel recording sheet which is sent to all customers for completion upon confirmation of their order. Hampshire Transport Management would like to encourage the use of this as it will help to reduce and keep costs to yourselves to a minimum.
For more information please visit http://www3.hants.gov.uk/htm/htm-hire.htm or email firstname.lastname@example.com

eDofE Upgrade for Participants Leaders and Centre Co-ordinators - Launch date 19 May 2011
We will be launching a major update to the eDofE system for participants, Leaders and centre Co-ordinators on 19th May 2011.
As there is a significant migration of information from the current system to new eDofE, eDofE will be unavailable from 16th to 18th May to allow this to happen. The new eDofE will be launched on the 19th May.
Please do everything you can to action any outstanding alerts or approvals before the 16th May. We will be doing some house keeping prior to this and will delete old alerts prior to the 1st April on 13th May.
With feedback from users since the launch in 2009, we have vastly improved the user experience. The new eDofE will allow participants to quickly upload work and Leaders to check and approve it.
Main upgrades include:
1) New fresh look and feel
2) Evidence screen – work can be quickly uploaded and viewed
3) Messaging – quickly identifies users within your group or centre.
4) Permits editing/correcting/deleting work at any point before the level is approved by the OA
5) Leaders – alerts system now permits a quick overview of all submitted work
6) Leaders – participant overview allows you to see participant progress on their sections
7) Leaders – can now upload evidence and record expeditions on behalf of participants
8) New sub group functionality created
9) Easy to add and publish news stories
10) 'Help' function ensures participants query will be sent to their primary Leader and Leader/Centre Co-ordinator queries will be sent to their primary Operating Authority DofE Manager.
This upgrade will only cover participants, Leaders and DofE centre Coordinators. Operating Authority roles will be upgraded later in the year so
eDofE Managers and assistants will continue to work with the current design. They will see an upgrade to their interface in the autumn.
If you have any questions about this upgrade project, please contact your Leader or Operating Authority who have more detailed information.

Terrible, Terrible customer service. Never had encountered such inept employees and manager. They argued with me about how much money they should give me back. All the food I purchase had hair. My older daughter was the only one who found no hair on her burger, so she ate it. She found it on her fries, so that's why the manager argued we could not get all of our money back. We didn't want our money back, we wanted an acknowledgement, an apology of some sort. All we got was arguing.... (read more)

Because Soldier Field makes the list, I'm putting it in this forum.
5 Most Expensive NFL Stadiums
Wait, he said $8 a beer is okay, but 8.75 is f****ing high. WTF is this assh*le talking about?
I'm surprised they didn't mention the Cowboys $100 pizzas.
Arguing on the internet is like winning the special olympics, even if you win your still messed up.
Restore the roar!
THey really could have done better with Soliders Field. Im sorry but i hate the field and even more cant believe they didnt put a retractable roof on. If they would have done that they could have hosted 2 Superbowls by now and made the city a good profit
For what they spent on that stadium, AZ built a bigger newer and more advanced stadium for less. Of course they don't have to deal w/the Chicago political machine, but still Chicago got screwed for what they got at the price.
Hey, at least they have a state-of-the-art playing surface...wait.
"Give 100%. 110% is impossible. Only idiots recommend that." - Ron Swanson
I liked his comments about attending an NFL game now being something akin to planning a vacation trip. When I lived in GB we could wake up on Sunday morning, turn on the radio, and listen for dozens of announcements of tickets for sale, their asking price and where the seats were located. The location isn't all that important in Lameblow anyway. There's not a bad seat in the house. Just some better than others. We'd spend about $50-$60 for two. My, my, my how things have changed.
As Archie and Edith always sang, "Those were the Days".
I'm getting to that age where a lifetime warranty just doesn't mean as much to me anymore as an afternoon nap.

Should Immersion Teachers Get More Time to Pass Basic Skills Tests?
Some state legislators and parents believe immersion teachers should have more time to pass the required test in English. What do you think?
Last February, a new state law requiring all public school teachers to pass the Minnesota Teacher Licensure Basic Skills Test took effect. The teacher licensing exams are currently only offered in English. Parents of immersion students were concerned that the level of English proficiency required for the test is not basic and goes beyond conversational English. Before the new law, public school teachers were already required to take the basic skills test but did not have to pass before they began teaching. Under the old law, would-be teachers who failed the test– as about 30 percent did– could get a three-year provisional license that allowed them to teach while trying to get a passing score. "We hold our immersion teachers to the same …

Actually, if they are speakers of a language other than English they are given additional time to take the tests. It's given because it's only fair!   more ›

Shorter Pat Buchanan: The Holocaust is Poland's Fault Comes the response: The war guarantee was not about Danzig, or even about Poland. It was about the moral and strategic imperative "to stop Hitler" after he showed, by tearing up the Munich pact and Czechoslovakia with it, that he was out to conquer the world. And this Nazi beast could not be allowed to do that. Chewed up and spat out at I Read Pat Buchanan's Column On Hitler And My Eyes Are Bleeding This is the kind of appalling historical piece that leaves me thinking that I've fallen through into a bizarro world, and wondering what on the earth Buchanan thought the point was? To rehabilitate Hitler? To excoriate those uncooperative Poles? All I can think of is is this: If Hitler isn't the bad evil man that history has made him out to be, does this mean all the comparisons of Obama to Hitler mean Obama = Good? |

Muhammad Yunus, the economist who founded Bangladesh's Grameen Bank, visited Mumbai recently where he spoke to India Ink about his vision of "social businesses," his forced departure from Grameen and the recent controversies that have dogged micro-finance in India and elsewhere.
An edited, condensed version of the interview follows:
The microfinance industry has gone through an existential crisis in the last few years. Why did the industry fall from grace?
See, it's because everybody jumped at it, because it's such a well known, such a respected thing. The moment you say microfinance everybody wants to help you. So, they took advantage of that and turned it around to make money for themselves. That's where all the problems were created. It is not the basic concept of microcredit that has a problem; when it is dedicated to the poor people, to help them, solve their problems.
In the business world growth is the key word, if you want to put an I.P.O. and so forth. They say, 'Oh growth rate is so high, fantastic, we'll do it all over India.' You are attracting people to make lot of money with your impressive growth rate. So in order to show growth rate in your performance record you constantly need to push people to do things.
What was is about the circumstances in Andhra Pradesh, which caused microfinance to fail there? What was different about that state?
SKS [Microfinance]. The key is that the whole thing was triggered by SKS. They were the ones who kind of overdid things in a big way. The aggressiveness that it brought into the picture created all the problems. And then he [Vikram Akula, the founder and former chairman of SKS] made personal money out of it. That also irritated the people. That you are saying that you are helping the poor people but I see you are making personal money out of this.
Several other reasons as well. One is overcrowding. Andhra Pradesh was a leading microfinance state, if I'm not wrong almost a third of microcredit in India is in Andhra Pradesh. So that's kind of put everybody in the picture, all the companies, all the MFI's that operate. That created overcrowding, which led to overlapping; same person given loans by several people.
And then politicians got into the picture. Because they said this is too much, we'll give you cheaper. Even some politicians probably said they would give you interest free loans and so on and so forth. They asked not to pay back. All this happened within one state and created a big mess.
Could share your thoughts about being forced out of Grameen Bank?
Well, this is kind of a painful thing. What can I say more than that? … It was totally unnecessary. It makes no sense. There is no meaning to it. But it puts Grameen Bank at risk, and that's what worries us.
My departure is not an issue. I already told the government that I want to go. I said can you put me as the chairman of the board so it'll be easy for people to accept my departure because I'm not completely leaving. I'm simply moving from an executive position to a non-executive position.
So, government has another plan. They removed me and still they couldn't find a replacement. We're worried about the future of the bank. Because after all this bank is owned by poor people. The borrowers own 97 percent of the shares of the bank and the government owns only 3 percent.
How would you characterize your relationship with Sheikh Hasina, the prime minister of Bangladesh?
She never explained so I don't understand what went on, just speculation of various types in the press. One is that she feels I'm a political threat, I don't know why I'm a political threat. This is again speculation. She never said that I'm a political threat. Probably she would say, "Why should I think he's a political threat, he's not in politics. Who is he? He is nothing."
You cannot explain. We've never had a face-to-face meeting, although I've tried to seek her appointment so I could see her, but it never happened.
In 2007, you considered joining Bangladeshi politics by announcing a new party named Nagorik Shakti, or Citizen Power. What made you change your mind?
That was very special circumstances because there was a caretaker government running the country at the time. They put all the top leaders in jail, including Hasina. So, there was a political vacuum, both parties who were in power before disintegrated because many of their leaders were in jail. And elections were coming.
So people were getting nervous, what will happen, who will run the country. So, people kept coming to me – all the leading people – that you should join politics so that you can lead the next election. I said, I'm not a politician, I don't know. And they put pressure and finally I said okay, I'll join politics and I'll create a party.
And then gradually people said what kind of political party and so on, I tried to answer. Within two months I announced that no I'm not going to create a party. That's all – I never created a party.
What are you working on now?
Social business. There's lots of new ventures that have come in. Some are still in the discussion stage, formulation stage and at that time I'm not supposed to mention names. Some we have announced. One is Watami with a famous restaurant chain in Japan. What we are trying to do is to create a social business in Bangladesh, a joint venture to create restaurants for common people. Good, healthy food at affordable prices so that people don't have to opt for food that is unhealthy and unhygienic.
Another one we are doing with Felissimo, a Japanese textile company. They use handloom products of Bangladesh in other products they make. For instance, they make handbags; they put a piece of handloom on top of it. So it will help promote Bangladeshi handloom.
Another one is Uniqlo, one of the largest chain stores in Japans. We produce sanitary napkins for women in the villages who never used sanitary napkins, and as a result are prone to a lot of infections and so on. They are produced in Bangladesh with a joint venture, and made very cheap, reusable, and easily available. We are already selling these door to door.
Given the recent controversy, do you wish you had done anything differently at Grameen?
No, I don't think so. Grameen Bank has done the right thing. The thing is with hindsight you can always say I could have done this a little better, or that, but in general what we have done I think we did the right thing.
The only thing probably I would say, is if we could help the second generation to all become job givers faster. If we could expedite that, focus on that as a separate initiative I would feel much better. But at least we brought the first generation here, and the second generation we have really taken it way out from poverty.

There is for M4 Sherman, check Td's and Lorans latest Sherman modes.
Only for the M4A3(76)W, not all M4A3s.
I would like to add a gunner/commander for the Pershing, but I can't figure out which bone to use.
Also, I've been pretty busy, so a lot of this stuff has been put on hold.
Hey, I dont know how far the process has come with your editings, but I have
some stuff I could offer, it is also included in BotB..
M3 Halftrack MG cuppola model for mixing
Visible loaded squads for M3 and 251 knowledge...
if I can help, pm me anytime.
Did you fix them HT? : D
Is that cupola a model with it's own UV and skin? I would love to use that. You wouldn't happen to take requests, would you?
As for the visible passengers, I have it working with no lag. I remember the last time I played BotB, the passengers had lag.
Also, your haltracks are canopy-less due to skin, correct? If so, I can provide you with my RGOs that simply deactivate the canopy meshes with a state. I'll release what I have publicly soon.
As for my other edits, I was struggling with 3DS Max, so hopefully darkblade has time and hasn't tired of my questions, so I can try to get more done.
@eli,I would like to congratulate you for this beautiful work you're making,I know it isn't perfect neither easy to do,really mate,making this will be very useful for modders,I'm looking forward for this!!!

Honestly, most of my edits are completely Object Editor (OE) based and are so easy, a caveman could do them. /geico
But seriously, anyone who is familiar with Corsix Mod Studio will be at ease with the OE, and can make a lot of these edits. All you need is a custom model's RGA and RGM and an extracted Relic RGO and you can go to town.
The more difficult edits, like the ones I'm currently struggling with, are with 3DS Max. I have very little modelling experience, which was nearly 7 years ago, so it's much harder than OE. However, it's still possible. With the help of darkblade, I was able to figure out how to get a rear gunner for the 250 and passengers for the 251.

@Elliwood.. sure I am happy to share.
the cuppola has its own uvw and skin, but just a flipped M3 skin.
I adapted it by the time i didnt know rgd export flips the uvws.
the canopy is removed by skinning, thats right.
How did you fix the lagging? I attempted with extra markers in its own model
and model mixing.
Great! That was the one piece missing for my M3 halftrack edit, so that should make things much better looking. Any thoughts on updating it now that you know it flips UVWs? Looks great either way.
I'll upload my canopy-less versions soon, they are simple OE edits that just remove the mesh. No skinning required.
I made a model with only markers and mixed it with my 251 and M3, with help from darkblade. Unfortunately, vehicles in tow still lag (even with a marker), and I'm unsure of how to solve that.
I may have a solution, you need to create a new animation setup, like the parachute file where you customly animate the AT gun to be attached to a bone, which is connected to another bone. That can be added to exsiting Relic models so that with a model mix and the proper OE setup it can be customly called up.Unfortunately, vehicles in tow still lag (even with a marker), and I'm unsure of how to solve that.
I'll explain when I get back!
And it can be called when a vehicle is in the hold of another vehicle? As in, being transported? Or would it have to be more complex than that?
I FINALLY figured out how to replace weapons on vehicles, so stay tuned...
Also, I will make a simplified version of the 251 passengers and revised 250 passengers and try to release them within a week. It's memorial weekend so I might not have much time.
Frekkin awesome!!!! (what do you mean with simplified Sd.Kfz. 251?)

Just go ahead and torment us Eli!

Simplified/abstracted; instead of 7 or 8 visible guys, I'll probably do 5 or 6 for the 251 and revise the 250 to only have 2.
It's no different with your models, I've been tormented by those pictures of your early work months ago! I can't wait to see them realized.
I'm having trouble with my M1919A4 gunner, when I assigned it a material in the editor (the gun), the skin is put on the gun in really weird ways. I don't have to UV map it or anything, do I? I just took the M1919A4 from the Jeep...
I think 5 or 6 is better, since 7 or 8 looked really crowded in there, and the Grenadiers will start complaing it smells like Volksgrenadiers.
I thought the 7 dudes that where visible + rear gunner worked well in the 251/1. 3 + rear gunner in the 250/1 could work too, though with a squeeze.
Our internal ones are fine, but they feel a bit cramped. I'll take a look later and see what they look like in-game again.
The 250/1 needs to loose the 4th dude as he is in the exact same position as the gunner, but the 251/1 looks sweet.
The skin is messed up (see above) and there is no sound. How do I attach sound to a new weapon or model? :/
And they said it could not be done...mwahahaha!
I also fixed the coaxial MG, it now has a muzzle flash, tracers and sound. I just need to figure out how to get textures working and then I can release!
If you can't tell, this is a Tiger II.
First post updated with some download links and other status updates.

In the picture above, I had not edited the RGO yet, so the loader's hatch is opening when the commander_upgrade is on. However, I just edited the RGO and the commander's hatch now opens instead.

The correct name of the Firefly is either Firefly IC (if it's based off a Sherman I) or Firefly VC (if it's based off a Sherman V). Just to remove any confusion.nice work eli...but quick question, whats the difference between the VC firefly and the regular?
Both had their hull MG and co-driver seat removed to make room for ammunition storage.
Basically Relic gave their Firefly a hull MG...even though it never had one in real life.
A lot of these edits are just waiting on me learning how to set up the textures correctly. Once I figure that out, I should be able to release nearly all of them.
I would like to make an SdKfz251/2 and /10, but I'm having difficulty with the skin modifiers on the PaK36 and 8cm from the SdKfz250 not merging well with the 251. But hopefully I can get these working.
Also, I've been toying with the idea of replacing the MG42 with an MG34 for vehicle gunners...
I hope you can get it working will be lurking around your thread
I can't animate, but I made a state that can be toggled to turn the hatch mesh on/off. Not sure if there's anything there skin-wise, since I still can't figure out how to fix the textures...
Also, I'll be adding the pintle mount to this and some other custom vehicles.
perhaps you could also do the Jagdpanther?
"If everyone smoked a blunt, relieve the mind, the world could be a better place."
You mean, put a commander in it? Sure, that's a good idea. I had also given thought to the Puma.
yeeeyyy , you really made my day now
imo , the jagdpanther has some serious potential, it just needs a little tlc :P
I'd be more interested in a spotting scope upgrade for the Jagdpanther - but a commander would be nice too
Actually, a spotting scope is possible, as well. I have an idea for how to get that one working. However, where would it go? Can you provide me with a picture, either real or an in-game shot edited to show me?
It may be hard to see because of the pink, but here is a fully-animated and working pintle that I stole from the Sherman (for the Pershing).
Just needs some minor position tweaking on the gunner's part.
looks great! Hatch animation will not be able to be added unless as a separate model and model mix.
since you are retaining original .rga
Shall send you info when I get homeHowever, where would it go? Can you provide me with a picture, either real or an in-game shot edited to show me?
Right, which is beyond my skill level.
The only thing holding me back is the textures or UV map or whatever it is...
Followed instructions to the letter, got:
When trying to "Generate Shell Material".You don't have all the base maps neccessary to generate a shader. Base Maps are Diffuse, Specular, Gloss, Alpha
are you using a .psd ? with layers:
If so, what program are you using, there are issues known to be present with gimp.

Normally I am not a big fan of plastic toolboxes. Let's just say that I have had more that my share of dissappointments from them. I wanted a box to store some tools in for my 5th Wheel RV. Weight is always a consideration when you are packing an RV for a trip, and my old Dodge is a lot like me (getting old).
The biggest problems I have encountered in the past with plastic toolboxes are:
1. The lid always seems to warp under the weight of the tools making it difficult to close the box.
2. The handles don't last.
3. The latches are flimsey allowing unintended openings.
The price on this unit captured my attention though. At $12.99 I thought I could afford to give it a try.
Wow, was I surprized! The molded box has a very heavy-weight tub and lid which so far haven't deformed under the weight of my travel tool kit. The latches are much stronger than normal too.
If you are in the market for an inexpensive toolbox, I don't think you'll be dissappointed with this Craftsman.

Perfect for our son's first tool box in his truck. Sturdy enough to hold his things but not metal, so it won't damage his truck if it slides. "Great gift!" were his words.
