I still would like to see you in action (that match you uploaded was a beast, btw). I got how to play the thing as a stopgap medium tank, but I still couldn't really get the hang of its TD side against the likes of the KV's.
Just a session will do, though. I'm collecting money/free xp right now for a slightly boosted up Sherman debut.

Also, I'm afraid you won't see top-notch performance from my M3 Lee anymore. I've elited it a while back, and I stripped it of all its equipment apart from a Vents; I haven't sold it only because I still have the promise to keep to you.

Understood. I'll be grinding a bit this weekend too, so I'll probably catch you some time then or even tonight Singapore time [i.e. tomorrow morning Pacific time].
Just show me how to take revenge on all the KV's and Churchill's of the world and I'll be very, very happy. I'm planning to keep the Lee on board for a while myself. "We've been through so much together" and all that.

So, apparently there's a weekend event commemorating the Battle of the Bulge, with bonuses for Sherman Easy-8s, Jumbos, and Tigers in particular, I think. Interesting...
As for myself... Man that last 15k exp seems to far away.

Be churchin with ma churchill.
Seems like a decent tank so far, It can take a kicking though its guns are a little lacking for the heavies but you can fire quick quickly so it seems like a good support tank.
That said you cant win them all =[
Probably would have gotten iron wall had I survived however I did manage to rack up more kills than my entire team combined.
I've got the 75mm on it at the moment as well as the upgraded turret, engine and tracks so pretty well kitted out so far, just I'm saving for the 76mm Vickers and probably spend some credits on crew training too.

Competition and personal data protection
Privacy Platform event: Competition and Privacy in Markets of Data
26 November 2012
Ladies and Gentlemen,
I thank Ms In 't Veld for her kind invitation to join this meeting of the Privacy Platform initiative.
Privacy – and the many delicate issues associated with it – is becoming one of the central debates of our time.
Thanks to technological and commercial developments, growing amounts of information can be collected about individuals.
As a result, the ability and the incentive of companies to gather, manipulate and trade personal data have never been stronger.
Almost every day brings new, sophisticated methods to collect and process information from unsuspecting users.
Today, we are asked to submit personal information all the time. We cannot send flowers online or book a flight without giving away our names, addresses, and credit-card numbers.
Yet, only 18% of online shoppers think they are in complete control of their personal data.
In fairness, the treatment of personal data should not be demonised. Companies can use information about their clients to tailor a service to their specific needs.
But there is a delicate trade-off between privacy and better service and this is precisely why we need debates such as the one we're having today.
The respect of private and family life and the protection of personal data are much bigger issues than just a commercial debate.
In fact, they are freedoms enshrined in the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union.
How are these fundamental rights implemented in the EU?
The main European law that protects the privacy of individuals with regard to the processing and free movement of personal data is the Data Protection Directive of 1995 and the national laws that implement it.
The Directive became operational when the internet was still in its infancy. Things have changed a lot since then. Today, 250 million people use the internet daily in Europe.
It is clear that the protection of personal data in Europe must evolve. Last January the Commission approved the draft for a broader and more robust Regulation to replace the 1995 Directive.
When the Regulation becomes operational, it will protect all EU residents even if their personal data are held by companies outside the Union; and it will ensure the 'right of portability' and the 'right to be forgotten'.
These important changes address a growing concern among Europeans. 70% of Europeans think that their personal data held by companies may be used for a purpose other than that for which they were collected.
The data-protection reform will help remove real and perceived barriers to the internal market by providing harmonized legal protection.
This will benefit consumers and companies alike. A stronger, simpler and clearer data-protection framework will encourage companies to get the most out of the digital Single Market.
When the new Regulation becomes operational it will foster economic growth, innovation and job creation – and it will do so at no cost.
Ladies and Gentlemen:
The rights I've just described protect us from the unwarranted access to our private data.
But the treatment of personal data has at the same time important implications for the Single Market – just think of e-commerce. The treatment of personal information is a booming industry.
Firms with legitimate businesses hold vast amounts of personal data and analyse them to detect patterns of behaviour for different categories of people.
This is valuable information for advertising companies and for entities that are interested in social behaviour. This covers the analysis needed for a variety of purposes such as electoral campaigns, surveys, market studies and so on. Today, personal data are a type of asset for companies.
We are aware that many companies collect vast amounts of personal data; such as telecommunication companies, payment systems, large retailers, and internet service providers – including social platforms.
We also know that these data are being matched and aggregated by yet another set of firms, and new challenges will doubtless arise with cloud computing and the trend towards storing and processing information remotely.
These fast and massive changes in the markets of data almost inevitably expose the industry to the risk of abuse. I understand there are and have been many cases of privacy violation involving a large number of firms.
Companies evidently try to use their access to personal data to gain commercial advantage vis à vis users.
It is necessary to strike the right balance between regulation and competition policy enforcement.
In my view, this sort of commercial abuses should be tackled first by a strong and effective consumer policy. Consumer policy will need to step up to prevent abusive access to private information and its commercial manipulation.
When unfair or manipulative commercial practices become pervasive in a market to the detriment of consumers and users the matter is best resolved with regulation.
But a more comprehensive regulatory process also allows a society to choose the balance it finds appropriate between privacy and commercial freedom.
This is a decision that we might not want to leave to markets because consumers are sometimes ill informed of the practices of merchants and may not have alternatives to turn to.
Competition policy is about tackling actions by a dominant firm to exclude competitors by unfair means. It is not well placed to tackle potentially abusive commercial patterns that can become pervasive in competitive markets.
This doesn't mean that competition policy should not be vigilant vis-à-vis the implications of the use of commercial data. A single dominant company could of course think to infringe privacy laws to gain an advantage over its competitors.
So far DG Competition has not had to handle cases where the accumulation or the manipulation of personal data were used to hamper competition.
The most prominent case involving personal data was the merger between Google and Doubleclick in 2008. This was a deal between a company that could collect a lot of personal data and another with the technology to target ads and monitor their performance.
Following an in-depth investigation, the Commission eventually cleared the transaction on competition-law grounds.
The analysis found no strengthening of dominant position in the search advertising services or in the advertising intermediation services that could be attributable to the merger. There were no merger-specific risks of foreclosure in any of these two markets.
The effect of the increase in the amount of personal information obtained by the merger entity was considered. The investigation found that the combination of information on search behaviour and web-browsing behaviour would not give a competitive advantage in the advertisement business that could not be replicated by other players that have access to similar web-usage data.
However, the decision made clear that it was clearing the merger "without prejudice to the obligations under EU legislation in relation to the protection of individuals and privacy with regard to the processing of personal data".
Apart from this case where personal data was analysed as an asset for the first time in a merger, our enforcement work has not had to tackle specific personal-data and privacy issues.
Although a company or a group of companies that would have exclusive access to personal data in a given market could give rise to concentration concerns, we have not encountered this situation yet.
For instance, we have not had to define a market for personal data or for any of its particular usages and we have not encountered a merger where we suspected that personal data could be used to keep competition at bay.
However, the fact that we have not encountered such a case in our enforcement does not mean that we can rule out the practice altogether.
In this respect, I believe that one of the principles of the current data protection reform goes to the heart of competition policy.
As I said, the proposed Regulation aims to ensure the 'right of portability'. This means that users should be able to move their personal data from one company to another without hassle and undue costs.
I believe that a healthy competitive environment in these markets requires that consumers can easily and cheaply transfer the data they uploaded in a service onto another service.
The portability of data is important for those markets where effective competition requires that customers can switch by taking their own data with them.
In those markets that build on users uploading their personal data or their personal content, retention of these data should not serve as barriers to switching.
Customers should not be locked in to a particular company just because they once trusted them with their content.
Whether this is a matter for regulation or competition policy, only time will tell.
Ladies and Gentlemen:
Let me sum up my arguments before I close.
Traditionally, the storage and treatment of personal data has been the province of laws and regulations designed to protect the privacy of citizens – and I believe that this will remain of paramount importance in the foreseeable future.
However, the commercial value of personal data has grown exponentially. In spite of this, DG Competition has yet to handle a case in which personal data were used to breach EU competition law.
But we cannot rule out this eventuality. In time, personal data may well become a competition issue; for instance, if customers were prevented from switching from a company to another because they cannot carry their data along.
I believe we are only at the beginning of a proper governance of privacy rights and of the commercial use of personal data.
A sensible treatment of personal data will allow us to benefit from better services targeted to our preferences and needs. But the line between the sensible use and the abuse of this kind of information is very thin. New problems will probably appear and become systemic.
There is clearly a trade-off here between risks and benefits. Is it wise to leave the search for the right balance to the individual? Can the market strike the right balance? Or perhaps it is better – and safer – to look for stronger regulatory solutions?
I will leave these difficult questions open to debate.
One thing I'm sure of is that we must find a way to preserve the right of all Europeans to a private and dignified life where their preferences, conversations and whereabouts are not systematically broadcast in cyberspace.
Thank you.

Supreme Court Won't Hear Perfect 10's Silly Lawsuit Against Google; Good Ruling Stands
from the phew dept
The lawsuit against Google for showing thumbnails has bounced around for years, with the appeals court saying that showing those thumbnails is fair use -- something those freaking out about Pinterest might want to keep in mind. As it's done before, the Supreme Court has (once again) rejected one of Perfect 10's appeals, meaning that the (strong) lower court ruling stands. Yes, technically, it only applies in the 9th Circuit, but this ruling seems to be one that other courts are willing to cite and use, so hopefully the precedent is considered more widespread. While it would have been nice to have a Supreme Court ruling smacking down Perfect 10 and making such a clear fair use ruling apply across the board, for now we'll be happy with just keeping the good 9th Circuit ruling in place.

CONNIE SCHULTZ: Obama finally says 'I do'
This was going to be a different kind of column.
My friend Jackie, through a mutual contact, arranged for me to interview Tyler Winkler, a gay 20-year-old born and raised in North Carolina and going to college there. He and I were going to talk about his home state's constitutional amendment to ban same-sex marriage and how he felt after the overwhelming majority of his fellow citizens voted for it.
By the time he called me back, the conversation had to change. "How do feel about what the president just did?" I said.
Winkler had no idea what I was talking about. It was a thrill to deliver the breaking news: President Barack Obama had just told ABC News that he now supports same-sex marriage.
"Oh, my God," Winkler said. "Oh. Oh. Are you sure? Oh, I'm flabbergasted."
"I'm sorry I'm stumbling here, but I never -- this is not something I expected to hear. I think the president's job is hard enough as it is, but the fact that he did this, that he stood up for us (pause)."
"You want a few minutes to think about this?" I said. "Maybe we could talk about you for a little bit and that amendment."
He laughed. "Yes. Yes, that would be great.
"I'm sorry. I'm just overwhelmed. What he did, what the president did, well, it makes this amendment so much easier to take."
Too many pundits to name predicted Obama never would do this before the election. Most immediately memorable is Washington Post columnist Chris Cillizza's insistence Monday that the president's support for same-sex marriage "simply will not happen" before November."
Maybe this president is just too brave for Beltway media. In the weeks ahead, we all are going to hash out what this means for Obama and his campaign.
For a few moments, though, I want to relish my conversation with a young gay man in North Carolina who had just discovered his president has his back.
"This changes everything," he said.
Winkler has been through a lot in his life, which is the story of so many gay kids. He was raised in a Southern Baptist home, where the list of things that would land you in hell was long and committed to memory. Homosexuality was way up there.
Throughout high school, he tried to pretend he liked girls.
"I did like them, you know," he said. "They were a lot of fun to be around. They were my buds. I just never wanted to kiss them, to touch them. When I started to have feelings for a boy, I asked myself, 'Am I gay?' I told myself, 'No, no, I'm not gay. I'll be burned at the stake right here if I'm gay. I can't do that.'"
It took him years -- and getting away to a college town -- for him to come to terms with who he is.
He never considered leaving North Carolina. For now, he still won't.
"I know right now that people see this state as full of bigots, which makes me sad," Tyler said. "Part of me says we deserve that. But another part of me knows so many straight people here who love me to death, and I love them to death."
That includes his parents. They divorced when he was 10, and they both struggled with their son's sexual orientation. Over time, they've come to accept him, and the man he loves, too.
"My family means everything to me," he said, "and this is a beautiful state. I hope to be married here someday. At home. In the mountains."
I asked him again about the president's support for same-sex marriage. This time, he knew exactly what he wanted to say.
"This must have been a big step for him," he said. "I'm going to be right there with him."
After we hung up, I called Jackie to thank her for setting up the interview. She and her partner, Kate, are two of my closest friends. They've been in a committed relationship for almost 20 years. I asked her how she felt about Obama's news.
"What news?" she said. She'd been in meetings all afternoon. When I told her, she gasped.
"Oh, my God," she said.
Her voice softened. "Oh, my God."
Then she started to cry.

Deputy Opposition Leader Julie Bishop has said Prime Minister Julia Gillard was "less than honest" when answering questions three months ago about her links to a union entity she helped to set up 17 years ago.
Ms Bishop said on Friday she intended to put "very detailed" questions to Ms Gillard during parliamentary question time next week about further information that has emerged since then.
Nick Styant-Browne, a former partner with Ms Gillard's former firm, Slater & Gordon, on Thursday raised questions about her connection to a mortgage on a property bought by her former boyfriend and Australian Workers Union (AWU) official, Bruce Wilson, in the early 1990s.
The purchase was allegedly partly funded with union monies from the AWU legal entity she had helped to establish.
The prime minister held a lengthy press conference in August to answer journalists' questions about the legal entity.
She has since referred to her answers that day when asked further questions about the affair and repeatedly denied any wrongdoing.
Ms Bishop said she began "looking forensically" into the information available after Ms Gillard's August 23 press conference.
"I'm afraid she was less than honest in the answers that she gave to journalists at the press conference," she told Sky News on Friday.
"The prime minister's version of events has been contradicted now by two people who have come forward.
"It's one thing to give answers to journalists at a press conference, it's another thing to give answers in question time because there are consequences of misleading the parliament," Ms Bishop said.
"If she's done nothing wrong, as she consistently maintains, then she should have no difficulty answering these questions."

Richard pinpoints how we came to be a nation separated from the natural world and how we can reverse it. We'll also hike with psychologist, Dr. David Busch, who uses nature therapy to help kids with ADD and ADHD. D

In a medium saucepan, bring sugar, zest and lemon juice to a boil, stirring occasionally. Continue to boil until it reaches soft ball stage (when a drop of the syrup forms a soft ball when dropped in cool water) while continuing to stir occasionally. Meanwhile, beat the egg whites and salt to soft peaks. Keep the mixer running (you need a stand mixer or a friend to complete this next step) while you strain a continuous stream of the molten syrup into the egg whites. Add the food dye. Beat for about 5 minutes or until the frosting is fluffy, glossy and cool. Frost cooled cake.

EWG Calls For Broader Reform on Chemical Safety
WASHINGTON - Environmental Working Group called today's release of draft risk assessments of five chemicals found in paint strippers, fire retardants, degreasers, fragrances and other consumer products a positive step by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, but EWG emphasized that the agency's action "also underscores the need for true chemical policy reform."
In its announcement, the EPA said three of the five chemicals – methylene chloride and n-methylpyrrolidone in paint strippers and trichloroethylene (TCE) in degreasers and spray-on coatings – are potential threats to human health.
"Last year, two California men died after using paint strippers containing methylene chloride," said Renee Sharp, senior scientist at EWG. "One of them was a 24-year-old man who was removing paint from a baptismal font in a church using a widely available product purchased by church staff at a nearby home improvement store. This tragedy is a potent reminder that consumers need more protection from toxic chemicals."
"The risk assessments released today are an important step forward for consumer health and we commend the EPA for its efforts," Sharp added. "At the same time, they underscore the need for true chemical policy reform. Children, workers, and consumers will never be truly protected until chemicals are tested for safety before they are put on the market."
"Federal scientists found significant potential acute and chronic health risks to consumers, workers and bystanders from methylene chloride in paint strippers," Sharp continued. "The risks include both neurotoxic effects and cancer. It is clear that this chemical should not be in consumer products."

text: It's hard to grow up knowing that you are not your mother's favorite child. Lee Jin Ae (Eugene) has always had a difficult relationship with her mother, Lim San Ok (Go Doo Shim), knowing that her mother has always favored her older brother, Lee Hyeong Gyu (Oh Min Seok). The abrasive San Ok is always expecting Jin Ae to help pay for her older brother's schooling while also paying off the bad investment debts incurred by her bumbling, but lovable, father, Lee Dong Chool (Kim Kap Soo). As a result, Hyeong Gyu has become an attorney, while Jin Ae has had to forego higher education and work her way up a large fashion company. Despite getting all the support from his family, Hyeong Gyu is still having a hard time becoming successful because of his pride and opens up a small law practice and hires the inexperienced Sun Hye Joo (Son Yeo Eun) as his secretary. Meanwhile, their younger brother, Lee Hyeong Soon (Choi Tae Joon), has trouble finding gainful employment and gets tangled up in the life of Jang Chae Ri (Jo Bo Ah), the daughter of a major construction company CEO Jang Cheol Woong (Song Seung Hwan). When Jin Ae works her way up to becoming the personal secretary of her idol, her company CEO Hwang Young Sun (Kim Mi Sook), San Ok becomes jealous of Jin Ae's close relationship with her new boss. When San Ok disproves of Jin Ae's relationship with their new boarder, Kang Hoon Jae (Lee Sang Woo), the mother-daughter relationship becomes even more contentious. Can this relationship be saved? "All About My Mom" is a 2015 South Korean drama series directed by Lee Gun Jun.

PALO ALTO — Tesla Motors announced Wednesday that it delivered 22,477 Model S sedans in 2013 but expects to deliver more than 35,000 cars this year, sending the stock soaring more than 12 percent in after-hours trading.
Tesla also said more information about its planned battery "gigafactory," which it says will reduce the cost of its battery packs, will be disclosed next week
"We'll have more than one partner in the gigafactory," CEO Elon Musk said during a conference call with analysts, adding that the factory would be powered largely by renewable energy.
Tesla is now making 600 cars a week at its Fremont factory but plans to ramp up production to 1,000 cars a week by the end of the year.
"We plan to expand production capacity for Model S and Model X, invest in our store, service and Supercharger infrastructure, complete the development of Model X and start early design work on our third-generation car," Musk and CFO Deepak Ahujua said in a letter to shareholders.
Tesla has previously said deliveries of the Model X — an SUV-style offering — would begin by the end of 2014. But the shareholder letter said volume deliveries to customers will get underway in spring 2015.
Tesla met its target of 25 percent gross margins in the fourth quarter and earned 33 cents a share, after accounting for one-time charges, on revenue of $615 million.
"They beat on unit guidance and margins," said Andrea James of Dougherty & Co. "Global demand is accelerating. Tesla is doing everything it should be doing, and doing it well. No wonder the stock's up in the aftermarket."
The company did not break down sales of the Model S by geography, but said demand from Europe and China is strong. The recently opened Beijing store is now Tesla's most active retail location.
"We won't be able to satisfy demand in China," said Musk, who predicted that Tesla's overseas sales this year could double its U.S. sales.
Last weekend, the San Francisco Chronicle, citing an unnamed source, reported that Adrian Perica, Apple's head of mergers and acquisitions, met with Musk last spring. Tesla has declined to comment on the story, but speculation of an Apple-Tesla collaboration sent Tesla's stock up to a closing price higher than $200 for the first time Tuesday.
Shares dipped nearly 5 percent to close at $193.64 Wednesday, but shot to $217 in late action following the earnings report's release. Tesla's all-time intraday high of $206 was hit Tuesday.
Tesla has recovered from widespread media coverage of three Model S cars catching fire after collisions. Musk credited the Internet and social media with helping consumers feel confident in the vehicle.
"At first we saw a significant drop in demand, and we were quite worried about it," Musk said in the call. "I think it's great that we live in an era where there's the Internet and social media, so that when the flames are fanned by the media, there's at least a path for consumers to understand what is really going on."

More than 50 faculty members signed a letter calling for the dismissal of Athletic Director Tim Pernetti and an explanation from President Robert Barchi for why he didn't fire Rice last year when he learned of a video showing Rice's behavior during practices.
Stephen Sweeney, the president of the state Senate, also called for Pernetti to step down or be fired. Pernetti deserves credit for getting Rutgers into the Big Ten conference, but he mishandled this situation, Sweeney said.
"This incident will continue to hang over Rutgers like a dark cloud for weeks, months and perhaps years to come," the Democratic lawmaker said in a statement. "It seems pretty clear that things were not handled well from the start."
Meanwhile, the number calling for Barchi to step down more than doubled Thursday to 28.
The letter calling for Barchi's resignation was first sent to the university's governing boards on Wednesday. In it, the faculty cite Barchi's "inexcusable handling of coach Mike Rice's homophobic and misogynist abuse" of players, his "continued pattern of insensitivity and arrogance toward issues of diversity" and the "secrecy and lack of transparency that he has exhibited in his relations" with faculty, staff and students.
It's unclear what effect the calls might have on the president or the athletic director. Neither was willing to be interviewed by The Associated Press on Wednesday or Thursday. Members of the university's two governing boards have been mum.
Barchi, a neuroscience researcher before he became a university administrator, was hired a year ago and took office Sept. 1 to lead the university with 58,000 students on three campuses. He had been president of Thomas Jefferson University, a Philadelphia health sciences university, and before that was an administrator at the University of Pennsylvania.
He was brought to Rutgers as the university takes over two medical schools that now are part of the separate University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey. The ongoing reconfiguration of the state's higher education system is intended to expand Rutgers' life-science research prowess, and Barchi was chosen largely to oversee that.
He had never been an administrator, though, at a school with athletic scholarships.
Over the past decade, Rutgers' athletic program has grown increasingly ambitious and expensive, largely as the university's football team transformed from an also-ran to a power in the Big East conference. The school's teams are set next year to join the more prestigious Big Ten, a move engineered largely by Pernetti, a former TV sports executive.
Shortly after he took office, Barchi told reporters that high-profile sports teams are an important way to increase the university's visibility, but that he wanted to gradually reduce the university's operating subsidy for sports - currently about $8 million per year - while continuing to pay for scholarships for athletes at a cost of about $10 million annually.
Barchi said in a statement Wednesday that Pernetti told him last year about the video of Rice made by a former basketball program employee, but he said he did not watch the video until Tuesday, the day it was made public.
In December, after the university consulted lawyers and commissioned an independent report on Rice's actions, Barchi said he agreed to suspend the coach for three games, fine him and order him to anger management counseling.
He said that when he saw the video, he realized that Rice needed to be removed entirely.
The faculty calling for Barchi to step down said in their letter that he knew enough to remove the coach months ago.
"Although President Barchi is now suggesting otherwise, he has known about Coach Rice's homophobic, misogynist and abusive behavior for several months now," the letter said.
Ron Becker, head of special collections and university archives at Rutgers, said he believes the handling of the situation needs to be reviewed.
"The value of sports and the Division I atmosphere often trumps some of the basic needs of the university," he said. "The pressure to win and succeed at athletics seems to trump (academics) around here."
Democratic state lawmakers, particularly Assembly Speaker Sheila Oliver, have been calling for legislative hearings on why Rice was not fired sooner, but as of Thursday, none had been scheduled.
Keeping the coach on through the season cost the university a portion of Rice's salary - he was paid $622,500 in 2012 - and also a $100,000 bonus for coaching the final game of the year. "That fact makes his suspension and fine look even more ridiculous," Sweeney said.
Athletic department spokesman Jason Baum said Thursday that the university is contractually obligated to pay the bonus, which is due this month.

DOJ: Now That We've Been Embarrassed For Spying On Journalists, We'll Be A Little More Careful
from the until-congress-says-otherwise dept
In response, the DOJ is apparently revamping its guidelines to make it slightly more difficult for them to do what they already did:
The new guidelines, which the official said would take effect almost immediately, would prevent the Federal Bureau of Investigation from portraying a reporter as a co-conspirator in a criminal leak as a way to get around a legal bar on secret search warrants for reporting materials, as an agent did in a recently revealed search warrant affidavit involving a Fox News reporter.According to that report at the NY Times, the DOJ also said that it can't do any more unless laws are changed:
They would also make it harder — though not impossible — for prosecutors to obtain a journalist's calling records from telephone companies without giving news organizations advance notice...
"This is as far as the department can go on its own until Congress passes the media shield legislation," the Justice Department official saidThat's simply not true. The DOJ's guidelines are just that: guidelines. They can set pretty clear guidelines for themselves that make it clear that the DOJ will not spy on reporters' communications with sources. But they're choosing not to do so. Either way, all of this seems (yet again) like a reaction to them being called out on questionable behavior. They made no effort to fix these guidelines until what they were doing came out in the news. It's difficult to take the DOJ seriously when they promise to change after they've been caught.

why is it that it seems to me that the single carded Maul looks way better than the BP Maul?
The only thing I know is that they've been available from that same seller for well over a year now. There's red striped ones, too. Did those see retail release? I remember hearing talk of bootleg troopers (as opposed to factory extras or whatever), but the seller's other stuff looks like actual production items.I've never bought anything from that seller.
Hey, just wanted to thank you again for this information. [/url]You are welcome! I just assumed they were old news in collecting circles.Quote The seller sent them in a padded envelope all the way from China but they arrived safely so no complaints here.I've never had a problem with the stuff I've gotten from China being damaged. Sometimes the content are not right. I wound up getting a few GI JOE figures free once because they seller sent me the wrong ones and didn't have the others, offered a total refund. They seem to want to avoid negative feedback.
The seller sent them in a padded envelope all the way from China but they arrived safely so no complaints here.
You know, it just occurred to me, that Lego is supporting the Clone Wars, and has some more new sets this winter. If Lego's able to make money off the show, why can't Hasbro?
Sounds like Spider Maul is coming next year....in a realistic style. You guys already put that out a year or two ago! You couldn't just jam the new animated torso onto the realistic base?!?Weak, weak sauce.
Didn't Hasbro say they weren't going to NYCC this year?

What I learned today...German Farm names
Today I read an article from the June 2010 NGSQ called "Johann Henrich Klocke of Lippe-Detmold: An Identity Hidden by a German Farm Name" by Carolyn L. Whitton, CG.
Now I have to admit to you that I know nothing about German research. Honestly, I know nothing about European research with a slight exception for the UK. Really, I mean nothing, it kind of scares me. But part of the fun of genealogy for me is reading about topics that I know absolutely nothing about. I always find it interesting.
Well, I was floored when I read this article and learned about German Farm names. I never knew there was such a thing. In the back of my mind I made a mental note for my German ancestors in case I am ever brave enough to research them.
This article introduced to me the concept that a man could give away his own surnames and take his wife's if she happens to be a farm owner and he is not. I'm sure that is an over simplification of what is really going on. Carolyn Whitton did a thorough and excellent job of explaining what a farm name is and how to use it in German research and provided a complicated example to boot. And now I am an inch closer to trying to research my German ancestors. But honestly, I think it will take a little bit bigger push than that.
5 comments:
Marian, I guess it depends on when your German line arrived in America. I have some who arrived in NY in 1710, and there is so much information. I'm sure you will do just fine once you begin. I have confidence in you.ReplyDelete
I have Palatines who arrived in NY like you in 1710. Thanks to Henry Z. Jones I have a slight handle on those. But the ones who arrived in the 1860s - my goodness, I just don't know what to do with them. :)
Yes, exactly, and I use his books all the time. Sorry, but I know nothing about those arriving in the 1860s. Somebody may help you, after reading this.ReplyDelete
If your 1860 German immigrants are like most of mine, they didn't own a farm in the first place. I've tracked most of mine acros the pond and for those it has been migration chains, settlement clusters, etc. as successful approaches.
I enjoy it. I was lucky because mine married land owners,and the land owners are in books that have words like familienkunde. [Raven, and Borstelman for Luneburg stadt], I would check for books in your persons area. Look for chronik too of villages online. A good place is that most villages have cemetery memorials for dead heroes of the villages. And I find the newspapers, also the local fire fighters chapters ususually has a little history which is a start. And Schutzenfest publishes some names too.ReplyDelete
Ancestry has two directories for the people of Hannover, if that was the case. 1929 and I forget the other one.
Other wise I would have had to rely on the church. My areas are not much filmed so not morman archives/ films.
There is that book out that has villages by name and the archives churches. I'll have to hunt up the name if your intersted.But googling on maps, I notice they just give it.
My one was Bartel Gennant Kanning, or was it the other way around.
I wondered sometimes how you would know receiving documentation if it had been the case with some ancestor you hadn't discovered yet?. I'd like to read that article, just to see the time reference. Usually the document will identify the father and if a bride say geb. Or * and then the surname. Not just (Nee Luhmann.)
Rats, I suppose then we have to be familiar with all the passing hereditary documents and local " stuff" like one finds at AIDA online.
It would be a great read, as you say How to know.
Great Post

There's a lot of Internet applications out there with a lot of different network usage models. Some are chatty, some are optimized. Some are bursty, others are constant network bandwidth users. Even if you can figure out what applications are coming into your enterprise and understand their bandwidth needs, that's only part of the problem. Some of the apps are critical to the company, and others--like, say, YouTube--are less so. Many who've tried to manage the melee have given up in favor of just adding more bandwidth. And that was a viable solution until the recent rise of what Blue Coat calls the selfish application.
What's a selfish application? It's any app that from time to time downloads a lot of data and does it as fast as it can--regardless of the needs of other apps on the network. In other words, most apps are selfish. The difference these days is the quantity of data they're downloading and the likelihood that lots of other people are running the same apps and downloading similar quantities of data. Think of all the Flash updates, or iOS refreshes, or YouTube users on their personal devices. The data sets have gotten bigger, and the number of users is growing daily. So if you weren't managing your WAN bandwidth before, it might be time to start.
Blue Coat gave a quick demo of how YouTube can suck up available network bandwidth, and how its Mach5 and PacketShaper products can manage bandwidth limitations for particular apps. For the most part, the problem of bandwidth-hungry apps is newer than the Blue Coat features to limit them. The problem is compounded by employees, visitors and contractors bringing in their own devices and expecting access to the Internet and internal resources. It can be further exacerbated by heavy use of SaaS applications.
Blue Coat does have a new major release of its software, which has been shipping for just a month now. Version 9.1 now handles IPv6 and increased the throughput capability when run on Blue Coat's fastest hardware.

Courtesy WPI Sports Information
WORCESTER, Mass. - MIT scored eight runs over the final three innings to help rally for an 11-9 victory over host WPI in the nightcap of a NEWMAC doubleheader Saturday afternoon. In the opener, Conor Fahey fanned a career-best 12 batters in a 7-1 WPI win.
Fahey was dominant in game one, retiring the final 13 batters of the contest. He allowed just three hits, all to consecutive batters in the top of the third, and walked just two on the day. With the score tied at 1-1 in the bottom of the third, WPI used RBI doubles from Ryan Rainone and Cody McGregor to tally three runs.
WPI would tack on three more in the fourth keyed by a RBI single by Ethan Brown. Fahey improves to 3-2 on the season while MIT starter Chris D'Annunzio (1-3) was saddled with the loss after allowing four runs in three innings of work.
In the second game, MIT rallied from deficits of 7-1 and 9-3 with a pair of runs in the seventh, five in the eighth and one in the ninth, to earn the split. They pounded out 20 hits in contest including three each from Steven Nunez, Jason Witzberger, David Nole and D'Annunzio.
In the eighth inning, Witzberger tied the game with a two-run double off the top of the right field fence. MIT then scored the winning run when Nole tapped an infield single to third. Junior Jay Turner yielded just one earned run over seven innings to improve to 4-0 on the season. Nunez retired six of seven batters in the last two innings to pick up his third save.
Thomas Whiting was credited with the loss, and dropped to 1-1 on the season. Brown totaled a pair of hits and three RBI in the nightcap for WPI while Paul Galligan scored three runs. Matt Fiore collected a pair of hits in both contests.
With the split, WPI remains in second place in the NEWMAC with a 6-3 record and a 13-14 mark overall. MIT is now 8-8 on the season and 4-4 in NEWMAC play.

County Planning Director Jason Martin said Thursday that between 20 and 25 abandoned mobile homes in the area would be demolished through the summer.
The eligibility requirements state that the home must be privately owned and must be vacant. Those who qualified will have their home demolished on site by a contractor who will be responsible for the removal and recycling process.
Abandoned mobile homes at Trollingwood - Hawfields Road and Huffman Mill Road were demolished last week by contractors.
The grant allows the county to spend up to $1,500 for removal and recycling of each single-wide mobile home and up to $2,500 for each double-wide mobile home. There is no cost incurred by the home owner through the removal and recycling process. The contractors hired to do the work will receive any money earned through recycling to help pay their costs.
Martin said the program was implemented to remove potential eyesores from the county and allows owners to voluntarily classify their mobile homes as abandoned and in need of demolition.
The county has a dead storage of manufactured homes ordinance which prohibits abandoned mobile homes from becoming a health hazard. Martin said fines for violating the ordinance range from $250 to $500. The demolition program allows owners to avoid potential fines.
Martin said the onsite demolition greatly reduces the program�s cost since the mobile homes aren�t required to be moved to a landfill before demolition. The county will continue to accept applications for the program.
After each demolition, the lots are seeded with grass and straw is placed at the sites. Martin said all hazardous waste found at sites in the demolitions is properly disposed of in the local landfill.
Applications for the grant program can be obtained at the County Planning Department. For more information, contact the planning department at 336-570-4053 or through the county website at www.alamance-nc.com/amhrp.
Martin said he believes there will likely be more funding made available through the state in the future for the program beyond the current $40,000 grant.
The county removed and recycled six homes during a pilot program in 2008. The pilot program required the home owner to pay part of the cost for removal. The new state grant eliminates all costs for the mobile home owner.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – The United States Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA) released this year's national preseason cross country coaches' poll on Wednesday and both the MIT men's and women's teams found themselves among the tops in the country to open the 2011 campaign. Both squads are coming off tremendous finishes in 2010, as the women placed third at the NCAA Division III championship and the men were 12th nationally.
The Tech women will open this year ranked No. 4 in the country and third in the New England regional poll. Defending national champion, Middlebury College, debuts in the top spot, followed by another New England rival, Williams College. Washington University (Mo.) sits one spot ahead of the Cardinal and Gray. In the regional rankings, MIT is joined by fellow New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) member Wellesley College at No. 9.
On the men's side, the Engineers will begin the season 17th in the nation. The defending New England Division III champions debut fourth in the first regional poll as well. North Central College was chosen as the top squad in the country after finishing second at last year's NCAA championship.
The Tech harriers will open their season with an Alumni meet on Saturday, September 3 before beginning full competition the following week in the Engineer's Cup at Franklin Park in Boston, Mass.

Download our free chat Free mobile hot chat text One-third of people who have used online dating have never actually gone on a date with someone they met on these sites. Probably many of them claim they were having live sex chat on such sites as they met. Also, some people live gay chatting. So sometimes pictures really worth a thousand words. Despite this, sexting online about one third of online daters do not upload a profile picture to their online dating profile.
Online dating has jumped among adults under age 25 as well as those in their late 50s and early 60s. Even some people over 50s have never had any sex with strangers that is also one reason they come on chat sites to talk about sex gender etc. Badoo dating paramaribo is an exception indeed.

But a viewing of the 55th Annual Grammy Awards show on Sunday night left me feeling that there is no such thing as a little hip or a little cool. You're either all the way hip or not at all. Here is a break down of the show that put me in my place.

text: I'm using ISPconfig (v.3 - up to date) for a few months now and I recently stumbled on a problem which I can't solve. I use jailkit for some of my users and I need to add a few extra libraries for some extra functionality in the jailed environment. I modified the default configuration in /etc/jailkit/jk_init.ini to meet my needs and everything works great for the new websites I add. My problem is that I can't figure a way to update the existing websites ( the ones I made before the configuration changes ) in order to load the new libraries defined in jk_init.ini. A temporary solution I found is to delete and then add again the website but I want to believe that there is a cleaner and better approach to achieve the desired outcome. Any thoughts on the matter will be much appreciated.

Sometime in March 2009, a quiet sadness swept over the Internet when Andrew Bowen and Ian Atwood grasped firmly and pulled the plug on one of Omaha's more original websites -- omahype.com. Omahype enthusiastically chronicled the local music scene through Bowen and Atwood's acerbic music news bits, live reviews and leaked mp3 files that one assumes had to be illegal. The website had a wonderfully subversive streak, and carried on an outsider's tradition, giving voice to Hotel Frank, Slumber Party Records artists and the Antiquarium record store, powered by the duo's uncanny good taste in music. Over a couple years, Bowen and Atwood managed to make a small but significant mark, providing a fresh, young perspective that this scene was -- and is -- sorely in need of. Almost two years later, omahype.com is returning, but without Bowen and Atwood at the helm. Instead, the Internet domain was acquired by two other local music insiders, Will Simons and Laura Burhenn. Simons, who sings and plays guitar in local indie band Thunder Power, has been in the music news business for years as a writer and editor for the now-defunct Omaha City Weekly . Washington, D.C., transplant Burhenn is the singer-songwriter behind Saddle Creek Records band The Mynabirds. The duo acquired omahype.com through local "youth branding agency" Secret Penguin, whose clients include skateboarders, The Faint and Jim Suttle. "(Bowen) gave those guys the domain name," Simons says. "It was Laura's idea to get the whole thing rolling. She asked me earlier in the spring if I wanted to help with it, while Secret Penguin built the site." Burhenn had considered the idea of a local arts and music website for well over a year. "I got the idea from a friend in D.C. who runs a website called brightestyoungthings.com," Burhenn says. "It's a curated events calendar where you can find anything you might want to know about what's going on in D.C." Omaha, she says, had nothing like it. Like brightestyoungthings.com, omahype.com will cover more than just local music. "It'll include everything from lectures to art shows to indie films," Burhenn says. "Any event that would be interesting to the youth culture." But what exactly is youth culture? Burhenn says it's anything that's inspiring about living where you live. "'Youth' is anybody from a teenager to who knows how old," she says. "It's not an age thing at all. It's the creative, adventurous minds in Omaha." Simons and Burhenn say they'll begin by scouring other online calendars for events to include in Omahype, along with (they hope) reader submissions. "We'll start with events and editor's picks, and it'll grow," Burhenn says. "We also want to be a blog aggregator, a jumping-off point for people to find out who's doing things around town." Their site will join an already crowded webspace for local online event calendars that includes the new, improved Reader website at thereader.com; the music-focused hearnebraska.org, which launches Jan. 24; towncommons.com, which provides a "personalized guide to events in Omaha;" the lilting underground-omaha.com; Omaha World-Herald 's omaha.com; the bar-focused omahanightlife.com; local news/events website omaha.net, and, of course, good ol' slamomaha.com, which has been in the art/music events calendar business for more than a decade. And don't forget the ubiquitous role of Facebook in keeping people up to speed with what's happening around town. Simons knows they're entering a crowded room. "We don't want to compete with other websites, we want to collaborate with them," he says. "We all have the same goals in mind." It's a noble thought, but seems to ignore the fact that those other websites also have the goal of being Omaha's "one-stop shop" -- at least that's what they're telling potential advertisers and donors. Simons says somewhere down the road Omahype also will sell advertising space, but "our intention isn't to make money; it's to support the community." Burhenn says partnering with artists, musicians and "progressive thinkers" to "put a new spin on an old story" is what will differentiate Omahype from the rest of the online herd. That new spin might include an artist creating a photo essay that explores the city from a different angle. "We want to be irreverent in nature," Burhenn says. "We want people to join in the conversation and be honest with how they feel, but we want them to be positive. At the end of the day, I just want everyone to be nice." They acknowledged the legacy of the original omahype.com. "Omahype was great for what it was, a music blog," Simons says. "We're taking its spirit and expanding it to all the arts and creative communities. We're not taking a hard-nosed journalistic approach. We want to have a fresh, youthful take on things." And while they will curate the site's content, "I don't want to be the person who says 'This is what's cool and this is what's not,'" Burhenn says. "I'm interested in hearing from other people what they think is cool, and sharing it." Omahype.com's launch is being celebrated as part of the Holiday Throwdown at Slowdown Friday, Dec. 17. The free event, which starts at 9 p.m., will feature performances by members of Bear Country, Conduits, Flowers Forever, Honeybee, Talking Mountain, UUVVWWZ and, of course, The Mynabirds, who also will celebrate the release of their new 7-inch single. Local artists and designers also will have their goods for sale, just in time for Christmas.

In the wake of the awful Sandy Hook school shooting, an 11-year-old sixth grader in Utah brought a .22 caliber handgun to school for protection, NBC News reports.
The boy, who attends the Granite School District outside of Salt Lake City, said he brought in the unloaded gun and ammunition to defend himself in case of a school shooting. There have been mixed reports about the child waving the gun on the playground and pointing it at a classmate, but those have not been confirmed. A teacher found out about the gun after two students reported it, and quickly secured the boy.
Police charged the boy with possession of a weapon on school property and aggravated assault. Although initial reports said the boy had been told by his parents to take the gun to school, those have been refuted and police say the boy's parents have been very cooperative. It's rumored he got the weapon from an extended family member who used to live with the family.
Plus: How Schools are Preparing to Keep Kids Safe
Watch a video of the news report, including an interview with a student who said the boy pointed his gun at her:

Hamilton crashes as F1 struggles with new rules
Defending champion Sebastian Vettel could hardly get out of the garage, and Lewis Hamilton drove his new car into a barrier.other Updated: Jan 29, 2014 01:14 IST
Defending champion Sebastian Vettel could hardly get out of the garage, and Lewis Hamilton drove his new car into a barrier.
All of Formula One's teams struggled to get on the track during the first session of preseason testing on Tuesday following a rules overhaul forcing cars to be thoroughly redesigned.
Hamilton started the day by proudly unveiling Mercedes' new car in the pit lane, but before lunch a technical failure had sent him into the barrier at the Jerez track.
Despite the crash, Mercedes could still boast having one of the most productive opening days as most teams only mustered a few laps, battling with a variety of problems ranging from electrical systems to the tweaks F1 has enforced on the body of the car.
Vettel, the four-time defending champion, couldn't get his new Red Bull out of the garage until the final 15 minutes, managing three laps.
McLaren, coming off a disappointing 2013, didn't get any laps in because of a malfunctioning electrical system.
Hamilton emerged unscathed from his crash and said "there is a lot to get used to."
"It's been, apart from the ending, a positive day," Hamilton said. "You are going to have hiccups."
Kimi Raikkonen debuted in his return to Ferrari, and the Finn clocked the fastest lap at 1 minute, 27.104 seconds and the most laps with 31.
But those are poor numbers compared to last year's opening day of testing, when Paul di Resta led the session with 89 laps while all 11 drivers managed faster times than Raikkonen's leading mark this year.
The circuit was eerily silent for long stretches, and as Mercedes driver Nico Rosberg pointed out, the new turbo engines are also quieter than their predecessors.
"I think it's extreme because even when the cars were out you couldn't hear them," Rosberg said. "It's evidence how big this challenge is for everyone. It's massive."
Force India also revealed its car in the morning, while Caterham and Williams both had to delay their presentations before eventually rolling out their new cars.
The major change teams face is switching to a 1.6-liter V6 turbo engine from last year's 2.4-liter V8. The new regulations focus on boosting cars' energy recovery systems, which generate energy from braking and through waste heat from the engine. F1 has also lowered fuel to 100 kilograms per race, down from 160 kilos, increased the car's weight, and forced alterations to gearboxes, exhaust, wings and nose height.
Testing continues in southern Spain until Friday, followed by two more tests in Bahrain. The season opens with the Australian Grand Prix on March 16.
