2008 Nissan Titan and Armada pricing announced
Nissan announced pricing on two new 2008 vehicles, the Nissan Titan full-size pickup and Nissan Armada full-size SUV. Both go on sale today at Nissan dealers nationwide.
2008 Nissan Titan
Originally launched in 2004, the Nissan Titan pickup lineup expands for 2008 with the addition of two new long bed configurations and a new PRO-4X grade, which is available in both King Cab and Crew Cab 4-wheel drive standard bed configurations. In addition, the 2008 Titan features revised front styling with a new grille and light design, a redesigned brake system with larger front rotors, a variety of interior and technology enhancements and larger standard wheel sizes – including 20-inch alloy wheels on Titan LE models. Titan LE models receive an extensive list of new standard equipment, including XM satellite radio, Bluetooth hands-free phone system and wood appearance trim.
Prices for the 2008 Nissan Titan start at an MSRP of $23,700 for Titan 2WD King Cab XE standard bed and $26,550 for Titan 2WD Crew Cab XE standard bed. The 4WD King Cab XE standard bed starts at $26,900, while the 4WD Crew Cab XE standard bed is $29,750. Titan PRO-4X models are $31,450 for the King Cab and $33,950 for the Crew Cab standard bed models (available in 4WD only).
With the addition of the new Long Bed models, Titan is now available in two body styles – King Cab and Crew Cab; in 4x2 and 4x4 drive configurations; four bed sizes – 5-foot 6-inch, 6-foot 6-inch, 7-foot 3-inch and 8-foot 2-inch; and with Flexible Fuel Vehicle (FFV) capability (E85 Ethanol) in select markets.
Titan is built on Nissan's rugged F-Alpha pickup platform, featuring a powerful 5.6-liter DOHC Endurance V8 rated at 317 horsepower and 385 lb-ft torque. Titan features a standard 5-speed automatic transmission and a maximum towing capacity of up to 9,500 pounds for King Cab and 9,400 pounds for Crew Cab (when properly equipped).
"The 2008 Titan, with its freshened styling, new wheel styles, new seat design, refined meter clusters and available features such as Bluetooth hands-free phone system, XM satellite radio tuner, heated leather-appointed bench seat and larger, 8.0-inch DVD screen, offers more choice and greater value than ever before," said Bill Bosley, vice president and general manager, Nissan Division. "Titan remains first and foremost a powerful, go-nearly-anywhere, tow-nearly-anything workhorse. For 2008, it's also a refined partner for work and play."
2008 Nissan Armada
Prices for the refined 2008 Nissan Armada, which is offered in eight models, each equipped with standard 5.6-liter Endurance V8 and 5-speed automatic transmission, start at $35,250 for the Armada 4x2 SE and $41,750 for the Armada 4x2 LE. FFV (Flexible Fuel Vehicle) editions of the same models are offered at no additional cost in select markets. Four-wheel drive Armadas begin at $38,050 for the Armada 4x4 SE and $44,550 for the Armada 4x4 LE. As with the 2WD models, Flexible Fuel Vehicle versions are available at no additional cost in select markets.
The major enhancements to Armada for 2008 include a new front fascia, new headlight and fog light designs, new one-piece roof rack design, revised rear fascia and an available 20-inch wheel and Michelin tire package (LE only).
Inside, the 2008 Armada offers an available power folding 60/40 3rd row seat (LE only), new interior colors and fabrics, new gated shifter, new wood grain accents (LE only), available heated steering wheel (LE only), a locking glove compartment and revised steering wheel and combination meter illumination.
Armada technology enhancements include an Intelligent Key with twist start (standard LE, optional SE), enhanced Bose sound system with 9.3-gigabyte Music Box hard drive and 3rd row speakers and amplifier (standard LE, optional SE), Bluetooth hands-free phone system (optional on LE), improved available Nissan Navigation system with an XM NavTraffic system with real-time traffic information (XM contract required), a standard integrated 7.0-inch color information monitor and a larger 8.0-inch screen for the optional DVD Entertainment Package.
Armada's strength comes from a 5.6-liter V8 producing 317 horsepower and 385 lb-ft of torque, with available Flexible Fuel Vehicle technology (FFV) in select markets, allowing drivers to use traditional gasoline or an alternative fuel such as E85, a mix containing 85 percent renewable ethanol and 15 percent gasoline.
Every 2008 Armada also comes with standard customer-friendly features like three-row, eight-passenger seating, ample 2nd row leg room, roof-mounted curtain air bags for all three rows and up to 9,100-pound maximum towing capacity (when properly equipped). Prior model year Armadas have been awarded the top honors in two customer opinion-based studies - buyer-perceived overall quality by the Strategic Vision research firm in the Large SUV class of its 2006 Total Quality Index, and "Most Appealing Large Premium Multi-Activity Vehicle" by J.D. Power and Associates' 2006 Automotive Performance, Execution, and Layout (APEAL) study.
"Armada continues its strong value positioning for 2008, offering a long list of enhancements to its foundation of power, roominess, style, comfort, utility and safety," said Bosley. "It's another great Nissan SUV made even better for the new model year."

So I'm in a nail salon in Memphis when this woman comes in to chat a bit with her regular nail technician. She begins to explain to the tech why she needs to move her weekly appointment up--she's going out of town to someplacecountry MS before her regular appointment. I gathered that from a twenty-minute conversation she had with the tech, the woman the tech was working on at the time, the tech who was doing my manicure and a couple of other customers who were waiting. During this conversation, I learned that...she's forty, recently lost her job, met a nice sixty-year-old guy who is opening an Exxon gas station, went out with him the day they met and after a week of phone chats will be joining him for a weekend in his home in someplacecountry MS, and needs her nails done and her roots stripped and dyed blond to match the rest of her hair (which is styled like any member of White Snake) before her trip.
The nail technicians, all black ladies, freely voiced their disapproval of her getting into his car the first time she met him--in someplacecountry MS at a dinner party of mutual friends--which of course could have ended in rape or murder. They backtracked almost completely, when she got to the part about him opening an Exxon gas station. At that point, "guuuurl" and "sugar daddy" and "good for you" and "sounds like a nice guy" and "no wonder you got in" and "I woulda got in too"s came from no particular person, and all at once from every corner of the room. The funniest part was how she lost everybody and totally killed the conversation.
She answered a bunch of questions about the date, their phone conversations and whether her had any single brothers. Just as the sugar daddy mumblings were dying down, she talked about how when she went with him that first night to the site of the soon-to-be opened Exxon Station, she saw a cricket on the ground:
"And y'all know crickets are a sign of prosperity. And y'all know I just got laid off. And I never ever ever would have gone with a complete stranger, but I don't know what got into me that night. But when I saw that cricket, I scooped her up [places right fist in air] kissed my knuckles [kisses raised fist] and threw her over my shoulder! [throws imaginary cricket over right shoulder] It was a sign, y'all."
All the technicians looked at her and each other with puzzled, 'gurl what's wrong with you--kissing cricket fists' look and then at each other. Then "well ummknow 'bout all that" and "picked up a what?" and "kissed who?"s came from no particular person, and all at once from every corner of the room. She had obviously expected more supportive responses from her moments-ago amen choir because when the confused-cricket-kisser mumblings were dying down, her tech was like, "Well okay then..." and my tech was like, "well if I don't see you before, have fun...", and everybody else gave polite "yeah have fun"s, she was like, "Oh. OK then. Alright. Bye y'all." When the door closed behind her, of course, the puzzled looks, talk of kissing crickets, and sugar daddies continued.

Unless the Federal Communications Commission takes a stand, American consumers stand to lose their open access to the Internet, while providers will rake in even greater profits.
Despite our faith in the American dream, mounting costs for high-speed Internet threaten the remnants of equal opportunity we rely on. A widening gap separates Americans who can access education, health care information, or news at the click of a button from those who are barred by profit-obsessed Internet service providers (ISP). Yet the U.S. Court of Appeals in Washington, DC ruled against net neutrality rules last month, allowing ISPs to collect additional fees from companies that want faster and more efficient delivery of their content. Discrepancies in Internet access are set to worsen unless the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) gets its act together in time.
With ISP highways charging exorbitant tolls for content providers, anyone whose pockets are not deep enough may find their content relegated to slower pathways. Smaller providers of online content, such as nonprofit news organizations, could end up fighting to survive while large conglomerates like Google, Netflix, or Amazon bake additional expenses into their budgets. End-users are likely to find it slow and cumbersome to download or view anything not featured by large, wealthy companies who already dominate information media. As Craig Aaron, CEO of the consumer advocacy group Free Press, summed it up, "Verizon … will race to turn the open and vibrant web into something that looks like cable TV. They'll establish fast lanes for the few giant companies that can afford to pay exorbitant tolls and reserve the slow lanes for everyone else."
This has huge implications for America's painfully consolidated media industry. In 1983, 50 major companies controlled the information dished out to American audiences. This number has now fallen to – gulp – six. Or to put it differently, 232 media executives determine the information that reaches 277 million Americans. To make matters even worse, giants such as Time Warner, ruling the roost as both Internet providers and media producers, now have a huge advantage. They can favor their own media channels, simply by virtue of being more diversified and more sizeable than their rivals.
FCC Chairman Wheeler claims, "The FCC has the authority – and has the responsibility – to regulate the activities of broadband networks." Thankfully, there is still time for him to act upon this ambition. He can still help prevent large Internet providers from exploiting end-users the way this recent court decision would allow them to.
Former FCC Chairman Michael Powell exempted high-speed Internet from common carriage regulations in 2002, regulations that would have imposed anti-discriminatory and anti-blocking rules on ISPs. He determined that the Internet was only an "information service," second to common carriage facilities like telephone services as a medium of communication. The last 12 years saw the Internet become the global pinnacle of communications and economic growth, a necessity along the lines of electricity or telephone lines. But the FCC remained in denial, sticking to an obsolete stance that places the Internet on a lower rung than common carriage services. This meant that regulating ISPs for anti-discriminatory net neutrality laws required awkward legal gymnastics.
These legal loopholes have given way, and the fragile net neutrality laws have been dismantled. But Verizon's triumph has given new life to the case for elevating the Internet to common carrier status. Such a change will force ISPs not to limit or block content, in accordance with the common carriage communications law that keeps telephone lines open to all users at the same cost. If the FCC takes this step, it will be easier for them to do the job they have promised to do!
As Susan Crawford, a Roosevelt Institute Fellow and former Special Assistant for Science, Technology, and Innovation Policy for the Obama administration, pointed out in a recent op-ed in The New York Times, without common carriage status, "we'll end up with a digital replica of pay TV, rather than the Internet that has prompted such economic growth and innovation in America."
Wheeler claims that competition is vital in the Internet industry, he claims. Yet he fails to mention that competition is also non-existent in America's Internet providers. In neighborhoods across America, Internet users have no choice due to monopoly-style deals between local governments and ISPs.
Supporters of Verizon's anti-net neutrality stance favor a more autonomous, less-regulated Internet industry. But for an average American Internet subscriber, this "two-sided" market may be little more than a euphemism for ISPs doubling their profits. Right now Verizon may promise no change in consumers' ability to access and use the Internet. But by charging Netflix or Hulu extra fees to reach end-users, Verizon is likely to make these subscriptions more expensive for everyone. Consider a vast number of online media companies in the same position, and you're looking at more than double-digit profit increases for ISPs, along with rising prices and declining choice for American Internet users.
Is this what competition looks like? In Verizon's proposed two-sided marketplace, yes.
If the FCC is truly looking to "exercise its authority to make sure broadband providers operate their networks in the public interest," the time is ripe to take the first step and confer common carriage status on ISPs. True, this change will require some tricky political maneuvers. But the alternative is to stand by and watch online media become more restrictive and less accessible in a country where high-speed Internet is already a scarce commodity.

Resistance bands exercises – Best Exercise Program With Resistance Bands
As for exactly what resistance bands exercises to do for each muscle group … For a lean toned body , we want to make the muscles firm , do not increase the size, but the toned muscle , less fat is present , which may give the appearance of looking older.
To achieve this look toned resistance bands exercises muscle , we chose an average of lightweight, low to medium weights if I would use the yellow to red. While this weight may feel too light, we will work our way up to four sets of 15-18 repetitions.
Remember to do each resistance bands exercises slowly and resistance bands are free weights , pay attention to the traffic flow and traction liberation movement .
The beauty of resistance bands is that resistance bands exercises they allow movement in any and every way, not limited to the same repetitive movements.
By having this variation, all muscles working in full and what happens is over time and constant repetition, while muscle resistance bands exercises becomes firm without weaknesses.
This is particularly true for older people who experience sagging or loose skin and muscles , you will see improvements in a short period of time resistance bands exercises.
If you are starting a band program of endurance resistance bands exercises, I recommend you start with one set of each exercise for 2 days followed by increase in 2 games for 2 days , then 3 sets of 2 days, and finally , so it is four games. Keep comfortable but not too easy to reach your goal and 4 strips gradually shift heavier weights .
You can combine many combinations of bands in lanes 1 and 2 , all the way to the use of the five resistance bands exercises , and then you become a power user. If you want your body shape to be more muscular in terms of size , so you have to do heavier weights and fewer repetitions using red with black stripes.
As before , we will start with one set of each resistance bands exercises a day and gradually increase after 2 days , do 6-8 reps per set , and in the same way that we are going to keep the weight at the beginning and work up little little weight to a beaver . Because we are so few trials , we can move to a slightly heavier weight immediately .
When using multiple strips is important to pay attention to their shape during these exercises ( videos) The more you do these resistance bands exercises the best and can vary the angle of movement of all the parties just to give a frame slightly different muscles training .
I think I do 4 sets of 3 resistance bands exercises for each muscle group per day is the best day and should be divided into
Remember to vary the resistance bands exercises , weights vary, and vary the angles at which you do the exercises and I think you'll see good results. Nutrition is an important part of any exercise program , so eat plenty of fruits, vegetables, meats , nuts and seeds , stay away from processed foods , sugar , bread , noodles .
This combination of nutrition and resistance bands exercises is guaranteed to improve your overall appearance and health in general.

text: As many of you know, I ran my first 5k this year. It was with Austin Komen Race For The Cure. If you read my race report, you know that at one point during the race, I was almost overcome with emotion from seeing all the survivers who were running, using the bodies that Cancer tried to destroy to run and raise money to help others fight the disease. The signs people held and wore on their shirts baring the names and photos of friends and family members who had succumbed to the disease were almost too much. Only one member of my family has been diagnosed with cancer. She is a survivor. This post is dedicated to her.

A brilliant scholar and teacher, Professor Larson joined the faculty in 1996 teaching Property, Women's Legal History, Conflicts of Laws, and Feminist Legal Theory. An immensely popular teacher, she once explained that she taught doctrine as if teaching musical scales, i.e. as a necessary technical skill on which all else is based. But, she said, it is the social, political and philosophical context that brings meaning to doctrine and makes music out of the law.

In our discussion of documentary filmmaking, we'll look at the various different ways of making documentaries and the problems it poses in the editing room. We will also talk about how organising bins and story writing in the editing room works with documentary.
Some concepts and terms for the documentary editing room include:
- Observational footage
- B-Roll or Beauty shots
- Talking Heads
- Archival footage
- Reenactments
- Narration or Voice Over
- Title cards
- The role of the director on or off screen
The documentary trailer is a critically important part of pitching a documentary and raising funding, often edited way before the film is finished and even before much of the shooting has been done. Documentary demos are a very specific and useful genre of edited works that are more important now than ever before. We will talk about some tips from the professional field about how to cut a strong documentary demo and what funders and producers are looking for.
This week we also look at the flip side of making editing invisible: Discontinuity. Discontinuity has many interesting effects that can heighten the feeling of a scene. Typical approaches like jump-cuts, which once seemed very aggressive and shocking, are now very much part of film language.
Disrupting film grammar with discontinuity has an interesting history we will look at this week.

This platform game features the small blue-haired cutesy creatures that were popular around the time (although surely not with most computer game buyers?). You play a Troll roaming the levels in the hope of rescuing as many baby trolls as possible - each level gives you a set minimum to retrieve before you can leave via the Pigstop.
Initially you have no weapons, and contact with the nasties costs you energy, but a Yo-Yo can be collected, which can be used not only to kill enemies, but also to smash blocks away and open up paths, and even (with practice) tied to a ledge to allow you to swing across a gap.

The process of finding a home perfect for you and your family can often feel overwhelming. There are so many things to consider: what's the area like, what kind of home should you buy, should you rent, build a new home, what's the school district like, is it a safe area, etc. If you look at all these options as burdens on you and your family, then that's exactly what they're going to become. If you instead see these options in a positive light, however, you'll be able to clear your head and pick the perfect home for you and your family.
Modular homes are homes that are built off-site in a factory-like setting and can be shipped to the site of the home. Once there, modular homes can be assembled by modular builders in sometimes as little as one to two weeks. Most people are unaware of just how popular this style of home is: there are more than 17 million modular-style housing units in the United States.
One of the greatest benefits of these homes is that they can be individually customized to fit the needs of you and your family, to adapt to the area's surroundings, and to accommodate any other specifications you might have. For example, so you and your family are thinking about purchasing a manufactured home in an area where strong winds are present. Simply tell that to the manufacturer, and they can ensure that you get the highest quality home available for wind. Some factory-built homes can even withstand wind speed up to 175 miles per hour.
Despite what a lot of people think, these homes are not all exactly alike. Because of the design and customizability benefits, manufactured homes actually have very few limitations to what they can and can't become.
Perhaps the greatest benefits of manufactured homes is the fact that they are often much, much cheaper than site-built homes. And because the time required for building is far less than normal housing units, the price for custom modular homes are usually much less. If that's not enough of a benefit, these homes are also much more energy-efficient than typical houses, so your monthly energy bills will be significantly less than if you lived elsewhere.
While modular homes won't make your neighbors any more pleasant or impact the schools in your area, they offer a ton of benefits for the savvy buyer.

FRANKFORT, Ky. (KT)- In a matter of seconds, what once was Frankfort's tallest building is now a pile of rubble.
The Capital Plaza Tower, a 27-story, 330-foot building that was 46 years old, came tumbling down after being imploded on Sunday.
Finance and Administration Cabinet Secretary William Landrum called it a milestone for the city of Frankfort, Franklin County and the state.
"Today marks a new beginning," he said. "A transformation of downtown Frankfort from 'Crawfish Bottom' to today."
Landrum said they were reducing the footprint of state government, while bringing 1,500 state employees back to the downtown area "resulting in a total of nearly 4,000 state employees who will work, who will shop and who will dine downtown."
The Capital Plaza Tower was built in 1972 as part of the Capital Plaza Project, which also included the Frankfort Civic Center and Fountain Place Shoppes, which are also being demolished.
The Tower was the third tallest building in Kentucky at the time and was still the tallest outside Louisville and Lexington, until its implosion.
The tower will be replaced by a five-story, 385,500 square foot state office building on the eight-acre site where the Capital Plaza complex is currently located. It will consolidate state offices that are now spread throughout Frankfort. The square footage is more than the tower, which housed between 800-900 workers.
The contract calls for the state to lease the building for approximately $7.3 million annually for 30 years, after which the building will be turned over to the state.
Craig Turner, founder and CEO of the construction firm CRM, said the planned building should last 60 years.
"We've been given a special opportunity here to transform the landscape of Frankfort, while creating some new development opportunities," Turner said. "A responsibility that we don't take lightly."
Turner told the large crowd gathered for the event that his first job after graduating from Eastern Kentucky University was at the Commerce Cabinet, located on the 23rd and 24th floors of the Tower.
The National Weather Service was also on the scene. Forecaster Joe Sullivan said their core mission is protection of lives and property. "When you have a big plume of dust and debris coming out from an imploded building, we want to make sure we were giving them good support on where that plume was going to go, in real time fashion."
They set up a weather station on the roof of the nearby Capital Plaza Hotel to monitor weather conditions, "including temperature, barometric pressure, humidity, wind direction and speed. In this case, wind direction and speed are the most important," he said.
Sullivan said there were two things that could have stopped the event, high winds and lightning, neither of which were factors in Sunday's implosion. Their weather station is also used during events such as the Kentucky Derby and Thunder Over Louisville, according to Sullivan.
Gov. Matt Bevin and first lady Glenna Bevin held a charity auction on eBay for the right to push the ceremonial plunger to begin the demolition of the Tower. A.J. Stivers of Shelbyville had the winning bid of $15,000, which will go to the first lady's charity #WeAreKy! Inc., that supports statewide foster care and adoption initiatives, such as her coat and backpack drives.
The demolition took pace right on time at 1:30 pm. After the "Fire!" command was given, a series of explosions were heard. After about five seconds, the building started to drop. It was transformed into a pile of rubble within about ten seconds.
The new building is scheduled to be completed in March 2020.

Children have been enjoying stories set in forests and jungles since Little Red Riding Hood, but these kinds of natural environments are disappearing from kids' picture books today as more are set inside homes and other built environments, a new study shows.
Researchers at several universities reviewed about 8,100 images in 296 children's books. The books were all Caldecott Medal winners and honorees from 1938 to 2008. The Caldecott awards are given annually to the artist of the most distinguished American picture book for children. Researchers categorized images as containing either a natural environment, such as a jungle or forest; a built environment, such as a house, school or office; or a modified environment, such as a mowed lawn, park or farm field. They also identified wild and domestic animals. Findings published in February's Sociological Inquiry:
•Early in the study period, built environments were the primary environments in about 35% of images. By the end of the study, they were primary environments about 55% of the time.
•Early in the study, natural environments were the primary environments about 40% of the time; by the end, roughly 25%.
Images of wild animals and domestic animals declined dramatically over time, says lead author Al Williams of the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. "The natural environment and wild animals have all but disappeared in these books."
Co-author Chris Podeschi of Bloomsburg University of Pennsylvania says, "This is just one sample of children's books, but it suggests there may be a…

10 Genius Eddie Murphy Jokes
Posted by Melissa Locker on
Eddie Murphy was cast on Saturday Night Live in 1980, when he was all of 19 years old. After dominating the show, he embarked on an incredibly successful run in movies, including 48 Hrs, Beverly Hills Cop, and Coming to America that made Murphy one of the biggest, most bankable stars of the'80s. Aside from his films, though, there were his stand-up specials, which were filled with his trademark raunchy, raw humor.
Here are 10 genius Eddie Murphy jokes:
1. On Ice Cream
2. Dad Getting Drunk at the Family BBQ
3. On Mr. T and Michael Jackson

Taste Canada Cooks The Books 2014
Wow, what a weekend. I spent most of my weekend eating amazing food and judging it at Taste Canada Cooks the Books 2014. I was at the Judges Table tasting dishes made by culinary students from across Canada, with recipes pulled from some of the top cookbooks written in Canada this year.
Taste Canada Cooks the Book is a culinary competition pitting teams from 10 top Canadian culinary schools against each other. Each team is randomly paired with a Canadian cookbook and its author who will mentor and guide them in preparation. The author is also on stage with them as they prepare their dish for presentation to the judges.
If you think cooking dinner for your mom is pressure, imagine cooking a recipe and answering questions about it when the recipe's author is standing right beside you.
There were 10 schools, 10 cookbooks and 10 authors (actually more than 10 since some of the books were co-written), here's how they were paired.

I got a taste of the chodeage the other day with ya and I think I want to come back for more. As an interesting aside, playing warships and D&D finally brought me to a state of gaming "nirvana" similar to what @dualmaster333 is quoted for in your signature.

TheMarine0341 reacted to a post in a topic: Tier X Light tanks
The stats almost look good enough for me to want to play them. The real questions are: how will they compare with meds? how shitty will they be in this map pool? how long will I need to wait to find out? I haven't been playing tanks for a long time. I think it's been more than a year since I played a significant session of tanks like I used to. With this, the proposed MM changes, and some of the other potential changes that are on SB I might actually get interested in the game again. Edit: oh and if they actually implement the consumable changes (where they basically copy-paste from WoWS) I'll be way more interested in the game, since that helps to cancel out a huge amount of RNG.

jacg123 replied to leggasiini's topic in Upcoming Changes DiscussionWG seems to want LT's "special thing" to be viewrange, similar to how (WG pushes towards) MT's are allrounders, HT's get survivability, and TD's get firepower. That would be fine, if it weren't for the fact that the majority of the maps are corridors to funnel people into. What use is vision and camo when engagement ranges are generally <150m? This game devolved into "who can push the corridor better" very quickly.
jacg123 reacted to a post in a topic: Tier X Light tanks
Even if the LT's got dank camo and crazy viewrange, it would just make them OP on 20-25% of the map pool and worthless on the rest. WG murdered LT's very slowly with map changes and removals.
Revisiting the VK 28.01
jacg123 replied to Romanista77's topic in GermanySo I've been looking at the leaked stats for the T10 LT's... and I'm mostly disappointed. Still back and banking xp on the T8's (since WG will just move them to T9 to save rebalancing) just in case they get buffed before release, but I'm not terribly hopeful yet. They still just look like boner bait with this shit map pool. Edit: Okay I'm currently prone to hyperbole when it comes to tanks. The Chinese T10 looks halfway decent, the German one could be okay depending on soft stats, and the Russian one is of course going to be troll because it has T54 armor on a stupidly thin hull and Russian Bias(TM). The frenchy looks like a shitty batchat and the US one looks like a nerfed T49 that has the option to take a really bad 105mm.
I decided to play a match in the Type 62. My rationale was "oh, I'm at 89% on the MoE. It wont take many games to 3-mark it, and then I can really shelve it." http://wotreplays.eu/site/2922395#fiery_salient-jacg123-type_62 3300dmg, 700 spotting, 6 kills.... and my MoE goes down to 87%. I think its got something to do with how long it has been since I played it.
sr360's Non-potato games
jacg123 replied to sr360's topic in Purple Poaster Replay PlaceMan, those carries were so damn satisfying. It was like the good ol' days before blob meta!
jacg123 replied to Covalent's topic in Upcoming Changes DiscussionI do believe the point is that you are not supposed to reliably pen maus weakspots from the front. (radical concept alert) You're supposed to flank it.
Personally I can't see going through the effort of getting and training these crews for CW. Maybe for tournies, but not CW. It just isn't that crew dependent or rewarding enough to be worth it, not to mention 90%+ of your game time will be spent in pubs. Put your crews where you'll have fun!
I told him not to go back middle. "Bruh I got this, I'm in a kv-220" So I think he was about sr720
The best suggestion I can give you is to put your female crews in tanks from nations with a large selection of gud tanks, in order to make them meta proof. Germany would be a good nation to consider, but unfortunately many of their t10's have 5 or 6 crew members. The US and Ruskie lines also have many good tanks, since those make up the first three trees. As of now, you can re-purpose a crew member to almost anything from where they started, other than a cross nation transfer. That free SiS perk is an amazing trait, and one I wouldn't want to see gone to waste just because the meta changed. The remainder of your selection process will be down to personal taste. The T110E4 is not a tank I would personally pick, but it also has a crew configuration that is compatible with almost any other US tank which means you can easily change your mind.
It wasn't quite 50. I lurked a little.
Been ages since I poasted here. I think I may start again. Anyway, here's my newest Kolos medal: http://wotreplays.eu/site/2820832#serene_coast-jacg123-kv-220-2 Kv-220-2, so nothing to be too proud of. Still very fun!

A Toronto legal aid group is calling on the American securities regulator to investigate a Canadian mining company for failing to disclose a secret lawsuit aimed at preventing a referendum on its silver mine.Even though the 2011 suit was rejected by the Constitutional Court of Guatemala — permitting a vote that overwhelmingly rejected the mine — local human rights groups say the mine's parent company, Vancouver-based Tahoe Resources, failed in its legal obligation to disclose the lawsuit to investors."Publicly traded companies have an obligation under securities legislation to disclose truthfully on matters that may affect their operations. Here we have a case where they are hiding significant opposition," said Shin Imai, a York University law professor who prepared the report on behalf of two Guatemalan rights groups. continues here

Tahoe Resources (THO) (THO.to): Yet another example of non-disclosure of material information
Ferrari Kev's Tahoe Resources has a history of non-disclosure of material information when the company decides in autonomous fashion that it doesn't want its shareholders and the public in general to know something.
1) Tahoe STILL hasn't disclosed the death of one of its employees at the Escobal mine in November 2015, having decided not to mention a single word about its woeful health and safety record in its 2015 year-end reports and annuals.
2) Tahoe didn't bother to tell the world about its first pour in December at the Shahuindo mine (photo here).
3) And now we have another example (ty reader RH for the heads up this morning), as seen in this report that starts this way:
I also found myself chuckling at the bit that says, "...Imai... chose to file the complaint at the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission because he said it has more rigorous standards". Hellfire, ain't that the truth. If SEC rules were applied to Canada, 25% of its mining companies on the world's most corrupt stock market would be forced to close next week. Instead, they get to revel in the milquetoast OSC "enforcement" (two prison term convictions in the last 15 years). Tahoe is a prime example, run by self-important "old-school" miners with a mentality stuck back in the 1980s who think they're somehow above the law. Pride comes before a fall, Kev.

My company has highly optimized scientific application which has become so big and complicated that new versions are literally taking t = infinity to produce. (E.G. I have an email which pre-announces a late 2007 release for something that has not been released yet.) New feature requests from the scientific team to the development team leads to a lot of arguing. This got me to thinking..
The application should be clearly written with good design, clear names and lots of automated tests. New features are added to this application. Run and pass the tests. Then this application is branched for optimization a.k.a. a release or production version. Again, run and pass the tests.
Am I missing something? Is this a 'thing'? I guess my question is, if I bludgeon the VP of Product Development with this, would I be right (about the idea, not the bludgeoning)?
