Denton Wilde Sapte (DWS) has won its first IP deal for Citigroup as a result of its Taylor Wessing hires earlier this year.
The firm, led by new IP litigation partner John Linneker, triumphed in a cybersquatting case in the High Court two weeks ago. Linneker brought the case with him from Taylor Wessing.
In 1998, hours after the announcement of the merger that created Citigroup, Jim Davies, a litigant in person, registered the domain citigroup.co.uk through his company Global Projects Management.
Even though anyone who tried to access the website received an error message, emails which were sent to citigroup.co.uk were received by Davies.
Citigroup did not notice that Davies held the domain name until 2003, at which point it tried to get it back, first through mediation and then through the courts.
Davies used the information he received on only one occasion. He was sent sensitive financial information on a company and then rang the Financial Services Authority to ask if he could buy shares in the company based on the information he had received.
Mr Justice Park ruled in favour of Citigroup, agreeing with the bank that Davies was in breach of its copyright. Davies has been ordered to pay costs and damages, which have yet to be fixed.
Citigroup has been a client of Linneker's for around 10 years. The deal is a coup for DWS, which hired Linneker and two other IP lawyers earlier this year.
David Hansel at Memery Crystal represented Davies at the summary judgment application. Andrew McGee of Kings Chambers was brought on board by Memery Crystal, while James Mellor of 8 New Square was instructed by DWS.

Yet another teaser for upcoming FOX show Gotham has been released, this time a special for the UK, where the show will be airing on Channel 5 this autumn. The new trailer combines a lot of the footage that we have already seen, but with some new glimpses and a slightly different focus.
So far, reaction to the upcoming show has been mixed, with many fans unhappy about the focus on villains much older than Bruce Wayne as well as the lack of focus on Wayne himself.
This new trailer, in my opinion, does a wonderful job of portraying the project as a crime drama, rather than a "Batman show" and because of that, I actually feel that it is the best trailer so far.
The clip is introduced by the star of the show, Ben McKenzie, who is playing Jim Gordon. Having him introduce the clip goes a long way to emphasize that this is a show about the cops, and the story of Gordon, not Batman.
Like the pilot, the trailer begins with the murder of Bruce Wayne's parents, and this is the most that we have seen of the scene so far. It's pretty classic (how many ways can you have his parents shot in an alley, after all?) but unlike many previous movies that simply show his loss and then cut to Wayne as an adult, the clip focuses on the police reaction. The cops are talking to each other about the scene, Bruce is wrapped in a blanket on the fire escape, there are sirens and yellow tape and a generally more CSI-feel about the whole thing.
This different treatment of the Wayne's murder is hugely important - all about the police and the process, and the murder is used to introduce Gordon as the new cop in town. It draws the focus from Bruce, and onto Gordon, mimicking the format of the show itself.
Then we leave Wayne behind for almost the entire remaining trailer to see Gordon arguing with Bullock, and a series of shorter clips revealing his struggle with the current state of the corrupt police force and organized crime in Gotham city. The focus is on him, the mob and Fish Mooney, and the classic villain that we really see the most of is Cobblepot. This is unsurprising, given that he is Mooney's lackey, and I assume that he may be the character we see the most of.
We get some great shots of Mooney and Cobblepot kicking the snot out of someone, and some even better shots of Cobblepot with a gloriously creepy grin on his face while doing it. We also get a little hint of the kind of bullying that drove him to his villainous ways, when he spits out "I don't like to be called that" when a fellow criminal addresses him as "Penguin". (I'll admit, I also loved hearing the name out loud - I am so excited by the villains getting the spotlight!)
Another first for this footage is that we finally get to see Ivy Pepper! The change of her name from Pamela Isley has got many fans confused (and some quite upset), but I believe that it was done for a reason, and we just have to wait to see what that reason is. A favorite possibility of mine is that they will actually be changing her name within the season, perhaps as part of a witness protection program, or a decision on her part to let go of the past.
Gathering speed for the last few moments, we see a little bit of Selena Kyle and a few more shots of Bruce Wayne, including this one where he is standing on top of his mansion looking vaguely jump-y. Kyle appears at that moment, and was watching when his parents were killed, which makes me think that maybe they will connect when she saves his life?
Finally, we get a short montage of fighting/shooting/running scenes, again mostly focused on Gordon or the crimelords.
I particularly love the tagline "Before there was Batman, there was Gotham". I feel that this trailer was made to intentionally stress the focus of the show as cops and criminals, about the city instead of the Batman.
Personally, I'm excited about a series that hinges on the crimes and the state of the city instead of the caped crusader, and I think that this trailer goes a long way to proving how awesome that could be.
What do you think? Comment and let me know!

Islamabad, Mar. 30 (ANI): United States Ambassador to Pakistan, Anne W Patterson, has revealed that 50 million dollars in aid, meant for the rehabilitation and development work in Swat and Northern Areas, were lying unused at the US embassy in Islamabad.
The News quoted Patterson, as telling the former PPP senator Enver Baig that the huge amount, readily available and exclusively meant for the rehabilitation and development of the troubled areas, was being wasted because no one in concerned quarters was interested.
The people, who want to start development work in the tribal areas, needed some security and access, but response was not coming, she added.
Patterson had gone to meet Baig to show her respect after his retirement from the Senate.
Baig wondered how could concerned authorities avoid use of such a huge amount, which could have been used to help the displaced persons of the militancy-hit areas and to generate job opportunities for hundreds of people in those areas.
Baig quoted Patterson, as saying, "We fully understand the religious sentiments of Muslims, but at the same time, the suicide bombings and extremism too do not depict what Islam preaches. The US is ready to give economic assistance to help eradicate this menace."
He told her that the US must engage with all the political players in Pakistan, as the war on terror could only be fought collectively, while adding that until and unless the people supported this war, armed forces would not be able to win for Pakistan or the international community. (ANI)

Environment Secretary Richard Lochhead described the seas around Scotland as a "hotbed of biodiversity" following the discovery of a massive shellfish reef in Loch Alsh, near the coast of Skye ("Excitement over shellfish reef discovery", The Herald, December 27).
Sadly, this hotbed of diversity will be wrecked by Mr Lochhead's SNP Government in its mad dash to surround Scotland's coasts with offshore wind turbines and wave and tidal energy machines.
The shellfish reef near Skye bears witness to the richness of our marine ecosystems in Scottish waters. But this fragile environment will be devastated by the construction of giant industrial offshore renewables. Kelp forests, seagrass meadows and maerl beds, which are particularly common in shallow waters around the west of Scotland, will be most at risk; yet these are natural carbon capture and storage mechanisms, known as blue carbon sinks.
Loading article content
Some 93% of the earth's CO2 is stored and cycled through the oceans and Scotland's blue carbon sinks play a vital role in this process. Keeping them in good shape is one of the most important things we can do to keep climate change under control. Tearing up our blue carbon sinks to build useless and costly renewable energy machines is counter-productive and will lead to the release of millions of tonnes of stored CO2 into the atmosphere.
Preserving and restoring coastal and marine ecosystems should be the SNP Government's priority. Its mad dash for wind, wave and tidal energy is a cost to the environment, rather than a benefit.

What are your opinions on the concept of selling your products in a real time internet situation. This is where you would answer peoples questions and point them to the best bargains in a chatroom/shopping center like setting.
If you take a trip to the mall you'll notice people who come up to you saying "can I help you". It's my opinion that this is where the internet suffers (customer service). I can prove it easily. Take a trip to walmart and watch the people leave, count them and figure out how many leave empty handed. Was it 98 out of 100 or more like 2 out of 100.
I'm starting a shopping site and I am thinking up some very cool customer service oriented ideas that I may have available to other affiliates in the near future.
I understand that many of you would shun the idea of having to work to make a sale and don't have the time to waste doing so but that's okay because I'm not looking for your opinions. I'm looking for those of you who make only a few transactions per day and want to make some serious cashola by changing the internet instead of following the very poor example that has already proven to be a failure hence the poor ad rates.
Anyways I'm not going to go into details right now but I'm wondering how many of you would be willing to sit in front of the pc and answer questions in order to convert sales at rates we've never thought possible on the internet?

Your point is clear and sensible, but if I were to do that, I would rather simply stock and ship my own products at my own markup, and keep all of the profits for myself. If you make it a full-time job, why settle for just a commission?
I got into affiliate marketing to get away from this scenario.

Hey Hey Hey Heyder, (couldn't resist)
I had a customer chat facility on my site for a while and I didn't get many questions and the questions I did get were ughhhhhhhh........ very studip like where can I sell my old clothes.
The system also seemed to impact performance on my load time and caused some instability problems getting hung up.
That project didn't last long. I'll see a query come in and find myself yelling...... Go to such and such vendor [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif[/img]. If only they would have used the chat feature!
I didn't have the capability to use the invite chat feature (I was using the free version) but I thought it would be interesing.....
I'm not sure the internet crowd is ready to have web site hawkers chiming in on them telling them where to go and very few of them will actually use the feature to ask the question they already did on the internet.
Overcome these kind of problems and I'll consider it sure.

Like many of your ideas, this one is both intriguing and evocative [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif[/img]. Personally, however, it sounds like a lot of work to sit in front of a PC for hours selling product. I'd like to think that my combination of targetted traffic, SEO + site usability (navigation+ site search) is such that it is effectively the same as "may I help you" interaction. I guess I see my time as better spent making more pages.
However - I could see where certain types of big-ticket items may be easier to convert using this type of approach, or some affiliates may do better selling this way, etc etc.
If you try it I'd be interesting in seeing the results data - by what percentage conversions were increased, etc.

I guess that depends on how you look at what you are doing. Many people work for a commission as their full time job and I do consider this to be my full time job. I know there have been many agruements on this point but I'm not here to discuss that aspect.
The rest of your question is simple to me although not proven or tested. Let's say you right now make two sales per hour from one hundred web visitors. Your commission is ten percent and the total of the two sales is 100 dollars which gives you at 10% ten dollars profit. Now lets assume it is possible to take those same 100 visitors and instead of just two sales per hour we get 20 or 40 or 60 sales. I don't know about you but that would be well worth my time even if just at 20 sales vs. only 2.
Like I said this isn't proven at all it's just food for thought right now.

I need to clear up another issue I see.
This wouldn't be actual chat it would be more like buletin board or some sort of message system. Also the Q's&A's would be forever publically available regarding that certain product line permanently.
So for example if someone asks a question about where can I get such and such ink cartridge at the best price and you answer with your affiliate link that link would remain permanent for the next person looking for ink.

If you can prove that it works and provides a significant improvement in conversions, and back it up with actual data, I'd be interested.

Okay, some observations other than the fact that it's w*rk:
I think the kind of products would be important. Not many people want to be bugged when looking at some cheapie item! I've w*rked in WalMart and know that the typical customer response is to say "just looking" to get the employee to go away, even when they are NOT just looking. Those who want help will find an employee, but for items of WalMart pricing, people do not want to be *bugged* on "general principles". Usually I pay close attention to what is done by the World's Biggest Retailer but I think they are selling *despite* the overabundance of meddlesome employees always interrupting the customer's thought processes. A "can I help you" when I am already looking straight at what I am wanting to buy (or going right toward it) is like a flesh-and-blood pop up. "Yeah, Beat it!" is what I'd like to say but that'd be too rude.
On the other hand, it'd be nice to find an employee when I really wanted something. Just not until then.
For more expensive stuff like "better" costume jewelry, expensive makeup, $400 watches, and such, though, I have watched customers in Hudson's and Lord & Taylor (decent department stores although not extremely expensive in general--much higher class than WalMart, though) and those customers will eat up piles of time BSing with the salespeople before they get out their CCs. The amount of time needed to convert a really high ticket item in a bricks-and-mortar would NOT allow 20-30 conversions an hour. More like 2 or 3. Watching this has been a hobby of mine for years so I'm pretty sure about how long it takes these people to make a sale on a decently-priced thing. It's still lucrative but not nearly as much as your projections suggest.
In fact, it takes an average of 5 minutes to ring up an order in general so if you're doing something more in-depth than the equivalent of ringing it up, the amount of conversions-per-hour is severely limited. 6-12 orders/hour per person selling is realistic, ASSUMING constantly active phones. You might be able to cut that down if the person only wants one thing but if they bother talking to you they probably want more. Estimate 5 minutes per customer at the least. That estimate is based on much observation and direct retail experience; if you can beat the time then people will probably feel rushed which lowers the CR.
Also you will need to know fairly in-depth info about all the stuff you promote so you can answer the weirdo questions like "where was your meat raised and what kind of grain was it fed?" Those with weird questions like that are also very concerned about the answer--if you don't know, no conversion.
The Internet is open 24-7...what happens when you want to sleep but the customers are still awake? Is it Tough for Them? If it is, then a fair percentage of the people will be miffed at the fact that you're not "with it" about the always-open nature of the net.
Also, don't forget that inquiries DO NOT come in steadily! They come in big batches I am sure, just like the traffic patterns in bricks-and-mortar stores. Expect to have long periods of dead time and then to be BLASTED with TONS of calls at once as people get back from work, or inclement weather happens. It makes staffing a pistol because you either have not enough people during the rushes (causing badwill) or you have a lot of extra people basically loitering around during the dead times.
Of course, I cannot close without saying that the idea of adding so much w*rk sounds like taking a vat of pure Godiva chocolate and throwing a bunch of Brach's in it, but to each his own. [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif[/img]
It may indeed be more lucrative than the regular way, just remember that a person really CAN NOT talk to 30 people an hour and give DECENT customer service at the same time. Call centers often give screwy answers because they are way too rushed, and all it ends up doing is causing badwill for the company. Decent customer service takes time like anything else.

I'm a fitness consultant and actually, I wouldn't mind sitting at my computer and interacting with a customer who wanted advice in this area - providing they pay me my fee of a hundred dollars an hour! [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif[/img]
Of course, that's different from being a sales person. [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif[/img] Actually, I'd like to be able to consult via computer. Heyder, if your idea is adaptable to that, do let me know.

Well I don't have anything to sell to you and don't plan on making something for you to purchase from me so I'll excuse myself from the burden of proof [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif[/img] but I was interested in knowing everyones opinion and thoughts on having to actually work to make a sale but at the same time (unproven) increase sales.

As Leader pointed out there are no easy way to success online of off unless the passion is there. You can jump the hurdles of customer support which eat up your time if you have a pasion for your product. Look at how much passion she had in analyizing customer buying habits. Look at the passion to reach out ( even at a 100.00 per hour) to discuss physical health subjects even if it meant some boring hours waitingggg for the rewards of sharing some real knowledge to a stranger seeking advice.
A small online shop with a product your totally emersed in is not a job ..it's a passion and will succeed. Why? Because the proprietor needs to share his passion for the products with his audience and will therefore make it succeed.
Test this theory and out of the blue call 1-800-700-4515 ext 20 and Talk to Sal Herman about his products displayed at www.suspenders.com. I won't even warn him your going to call ..because no matter what business is waiting to be done with so little time to do it.. your call will be more important. That is the passion you'll need for a online/offline business, which makes you come back for more.
Thank God Sam Walton had the passion or those friendly helpful Walmart sales people wouldn't be there when you do need one. He'd rather pay them just to be sure you were taken care of, if needed, rather than do without the personal service he gave in his first store.

I don't mean to be flip, but it sounds like a ball and chain to me. One of the great advantages of affiliate marketing is the flexibility it affords. I just got back from a trip accross the country, hauling my laptop along. I was able to keep tabs on everything while I was away, while at the same time enjoying my trip. I even added some pages. And, I made money while I was gone!!

hmm time for yet another clarification.
You wouldn't have to sit at your computer all day. This would just be an option to do so at your own free will like when you wanted to make money.

This is for the other 99.99999997% of you.

I agree with you Heyder....Internet is lacking in the customer service area.
Now with a forum, I have one on one site, and won't own another. It's hard to get people to go to a forum. And the second problem with a forum, Is it'll be hard to get work done, because your always checking. Adding a forum isn't much work, but it requires great traffic to make a successfull one.
Maybe a Catch could be.........Can't find what your looking, Need help with questions. Post your question, and I'll be back to you within 24hrs. (this will get rid of time problem, and having your butt tied to the computer screen) . A thought would be to to have the 24hour forum thing pop up when they exit as well, maybe you'll catch people frustrated, and well jump on it. Just be sure to make them have their email address, so you can email them the response as well as the forum.

Report of Address.
The Earl of Sunderland reported from the Lords Committees, an humble Address to be presented to Her Majesty, from this House, pursuant to the Order Yesterday.
Which Address was read, as follows; (videlicet,)
"May it please Your Majesty,
"We, Your Majesty's most dutiful and obedient Subjects, the Lords Spiritual and Temporal in Parliament assembled, with Hearts full of Joy, beg Leave to congratulate Your Majesty, upon Occasion of the Many great Successes obtained by Your Majesty's Arms, and those of Your Allies, in all Places, during this wonderful Year. We could not hope for any Thing more glorious, than the opening the Campaign by the evermemorable Victory gained at Ramellies, under the Command of Your Majesty's wife and valiant General the Duke of Marlborough; and nothing could be more seasonable, at the Close of the Campaign, than the compleat Victory gained by the Duke of Savoy and Prince Eugene, before the Walls of Turin. The illustrious Consequences of those Two Battles made it impossible for Your Enemies to disguise their Losses; and demonstrated to the World, that never any Generals better understood how to make Use of their Success. And if we, Your Majesty's Subjects, should not do all that lies in our Power, towards improving the Advantages which the Divine Providence has given to Your Majesty and Your Allies; we should shew ourselves unthankful to God, inexcusable to Your Majesty, and manifestly wanting to our Country, and the common Cause of Europe.
"We cannot sufficiently express the universal Pleasure and Satisfaction of Your People, upon the public Declaration which Your Majesty, in Concert with The States General, made to the Ministers of the other Consederate Princes, "That no Negotiations of Peace should be entered into, but in Conjunction with all the Members of the Grand Alliance." This generous Method will prevent the indirect and dangerous Practices of the common Enemy, will put a Stop to clandestine and corrupt Transactions; and must not only remove all present Jealousies from the Allies, but create in them a lasting Confidence and Reliance on Your Honour and Justice.
"Your Majesty's Example, and that of The States General, ought to inspire all the other Allies with a noble Emulation of acting with the like Vigour. If any of them have been failing for the Time past, we hope Your Majesty will find proper Means to let them see, that the only right Amends they can make to the Cause of Liberty, is by doubling their Efforts at this important Conjuncture.
"This will be the true Way to obtain such a Peace as all good Men desire; which may secure to Your Majesty's Subjects the Protestant Succession, and all the Advantages of Trade and Commerce; may restore the whole Monarchy of Spain to King Charles the Third; may fix such a Barrier for The States General (in whose Security we must always think the Interest of England is engaged) as may be to their just Satissaction; and may procure such Terms and Conditions for all the Allies, as may be just, safe, and honourable; such a Peace as may be durable and lasting, by reducing effectually the exorbitant Power of a Prince, whose restless Ambition nothing could satisfy, and who has always despised the Obligations of the most sacred Leagues and Treaties.
"Most Gracious Sovereign;
"We cannot omit to make our most thankful Acknowledgements, of our universal Happiness under Your just and mild Government; of your true Zeal for the Safety and Honour of the Church of England; of your great Care for the due Administration of Justice, and Your tender Regard for the Properties and Liberties of Your People; but, in a particular Manner, we must own, with all Gratitude, Your Majesty's Wisdom and Foresight, as well as Your Goodness, in Your Royal Endeavours, to bring to pass an entire and compleat Union of Your Two Kingdoms of England and Scotland. May God Almighty make these Your glorious Designs successfull and may Your Majesty long reign over us, to see the happy Fruits of them, in the Safety, Tranquillity, Wealth, Honour; and flourishing Estate, of Your Majesty's united People!"
To which the House agreed.
Ordered, That the whole House do attend Her Majesty, with the said Address.
It is Ordered, by the Lords Spiritual and Temporal in Parliament assembled, That the Lords with White Staves do attend Her Majesty, humbly to know when Her Majesty will please to be attended, with the Address of this House agreed to this Day.
Thanks of the House to be given to the D. of Marlborough.
It is Ordered, by the Lords Spiritual and Temporal in Parliament assembled, That the Thanks of this House shall be given to his Grace the Duke of Marlborough, for his great and eminent Services in the last Campaign; and that the Lord Keeper of the Great Seal of England do give his Lordship the same, when his Grace is in his Place in this House.
Committee of Privileges.
Lords Committees appointed to consider of the Customs and Orders of the House, and the Privileges of Parliament, and of the Peers of this Kingdom and Lords of Parliament.
Their Lordships, or any Seven of them; to meet on Monday next, at Four a Clock in the Afternoon, in the House of Peers, and every Monday after; and to adjourn as they please.
Committee for the Journal.
Lords Sub-committees appointed to consider of the Orders and Customs of the House, and Privileges of the Peers of this Kingdom and Lords of Parliament; and to peruse and perfect the Journals of the last and this Session of Parliament; (videlicet,)
Their Lordships, or any Three of them; to meet when, where, and as often as, they please.
The Lord Chamberlain acquainted the House, "That he had attended Her Majesty, pursuant to Order; and that Her Majesty was pleased to appoint To-morrow, at Half an Hour after One a Clock, to be attended by this House, with their Address, at St. James's."
Dominus Custos Magni Sigilli declaravit præsens Parliamentum continuandum esse usque ad et in diem Jovis, quintum diem instantis Decembris, hora undecima Auroræ, Dominis sic decernentibus.

The federal government has delivered a stark warning to roughly 5,000 Canadian citizens in Syria to get out now, hinting the embassy in Damascus won't be there much longer to help them.
"The time to leave Syria is now," Foreign Affairs Minister John Baird said Thursday.
Mr. Baird has warned Canadians in Syria to leave since October. But escalating violence in Syria, combined with sanctions that have reduced the number of flights out of the country, have sparked Ottawa to declare a "voluntary evacuation" from the country. Mr. Baird urged Canadians to get travel documents and book a flight.
Federal officials said they estimate there are roughly 5,000 Canadian citizens in Syria, though only 1,512 have registered with the embassy in Damascus.
Most are believed to be dual citizens who live in Syria, federal officials said. But the complication is that their families are not always all Canadian citizens, and they may require visas to come to Canada.
The regime of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad has cracked down on protestors, killing about 5,000, according to the United Nations. There have been increasing violent clashes between the Syrian military and defectors, and opposition activists continue to organize strikes and protests.
Sanctions imposed by the Arab League include reducing the number of flights in and out of Syria – and there is a fear there could be a scramble if the situation worsens. Canadian officials said there were seven flights out of Damascus scheduled Thursday, and that about 100 seats were available.
Mr. Baird's warnings came with an unusually clear hint not to expect the embassy to be available much longer to provide passports for Canadian citizens or visas to loved ones. He said teams are being set up in Ottawa to expedite requests, and that the Damascus embassy will offer that service until Jan. 14. The stark exhortation now, he said, was intended to avoid a situation where "our capacity could be very reduced without warning."
"I must warn that, should Canadians stay in Syria, we will not be able to guarantee the current service at our embassy or that commercial options to leave the country will remain available," he said.
He said he does not have a plan to close the Canadian embassy in Damascus "at this time."
"Obviously, with the situation in Libya, once it deteriorated to such a level, we did have to close the embassy in Tripoli," he said. "So what we're saying to Canadians is, we can provide assistance [in Syria]now, but if things continue to deteriorate, there may be a time when we can't."
The warning is not a prelude to war, the Foreign Affairs Minister added. The United Nations cannot even muster a condemnation of the killings of 5,000, he said, so a mandate for military intervention cannot be expected.
He said there are no plans for Canada to join a military coalition to intervene. "That's not something we're contemplating," he said.

Do you machine a lot of stainless steel? Are you constantly facing the same issues with your current milling cutters on this material? You have come to the right place as in this post we will be looking at the top 5 milling cutters for stainless steel that are part of the Cutwel range!
If you are looking for the ideal milling cutter that has high performance on stainless steels (wet or dry cutting) and also gives an excellent surface finish, then the Jet Power range from YG-1 is perfect for you. A special geometry helix design supports the excellent surface finish you get while it also gives a low cutting resistance.
In terms of the materials it can cut, stainless is not the only application it is excellent on. With the Jet Power you can also do Steels up to 40HRC and Exotic materials such as Inconel, Titanium plus all HRSA's (Heat Resistant Super Alloys), making it an ideal tool to use in the aerospace industry. The Jet power milling cutters are TiALN coated and made from Ultrafine Micrograin Carbide.
Browse the full Jet Power range here
Check out our youtube video on Jet Power here
Our X-Power range is one of the most popular high performance milling cutters within the Cutwel range. Cost just doesn't come into the equation when you see the results from this particular range by YG-1. They may do more or less the same materials as a general purpose carbide cutter but the X-Power can be run at much higher speeds, tool life is extended by up to 40% when cutting dry and it has a vast range of different sizes and geometries available.
The X-Power cutters have a special X-Power coating coupled with an ultrafine micrograin carbide substrate. This allows for the high speed machining of stainless steel, as well as excellent performance on steels up to 55HRC (dry cutting) and also suitable for cast iron.
Browse the full X-Power range here
Check out our YouTube video on X-Power here
The V7 Mills have a unique variable helix design which helps eliminate one of the major issues when milling…which is vibration/chatter. The V7 series allows you to take large depths of cut and 2-4 times better feed rates than standard carbide cutters. An excellent example of these feed rates on 316 Stainless Steel is that you can use a 12mm diameter cutter for a 12mm depth of cut and if you run that at 2,545rpm you can achieve 565mm/min feed rates!
The range is split into two versions one specifically for steel and one for stainless steel (which also does steel and exotic materials, similar to the Jet Power range). Included in the range is the fantastic X-Speed rougher which with its unique flute design is one of the best performing rippers in the Cutwel range due to its heavy metal removal capabilities and its unique flute design.
Browse the full V7 Range here.
View our YouTube video on V7 Mills here
Don't forget to check out the new V7 plus range, all the great features mentioned but with even better productivity! Browse the V7 plus range here.
Moving onto the more general milling cutters that are still great on stainless steel as well as other materials, here we have the tank power range. These milling cutters are made with a premium powder metal substrate which gives the cutters the best components from both HSS and Carbide rolled into one.
The tank power milling cutters are ideal where carbide isn't suitable, so if your machine is a manual one or it suffers with vibration possibly due to lightweight work holding then these won't chip like carbide does. So you might be thinking now if they don't chip like carbide then they may wear easily like HSS, but no, the powder metal substrate also provides better performance and tool life than a HSS substrate does.
If using these on Stainless then wet cutting is recommended for the highest performance. The TiALN coating also supports longer tool life. You can also use Tank Power on Steels, Cast Iron and Copper.
Browse the full Tank Power range here.
Watch the Tank Power YouTube video here
The ever popular K2 carbide range from YG-1 are one of our best selling types of milling cutters, and yes, the reason for that is because they are very general but they are suitable for machining Stainless Steels. Wet cutting is highly recommended to achieve the best performance.
The K2 carbide range are mainly used on stainless should you have a limited budget however on the plus side it is very cost effective to use these as you can use them on many other materials such as Steel up to 45HRC, Cast Iron, Copper and even aluminium.
This range has been part of our selection for a very long time, recently the NC Mills were also introduced which are very similar but also lower in cost.

How European spy technology falls into the wrong hands
On August 10 and 11, 2016, Ahmed Mansoor got a series of texts on his iPhone. Their subject was a gripping one: new revelations on the torture of prisoners in his homeland, the United Arab Emirates. Mansoor is an internationally renowned human rights activist who was imprisoned in 2011 after calling for democratic reforms in the Gulf state.
Mansoor forwarded the messages to researchers at the University of Toronto's Citizen Lab. They discovered that an Israeli company, the NSO Group, was attempting to install malware Malware is malicious software used to disrupt or invade computer systems or to obtain sensitive information. on his phone. Hacking Mansoor's device was evidently worth a lot to the UAE's government: software like this is hugely expensive. Zerodium, a company that sources and sells security exploits, paid $1 million last year to a team of hackers who found a previously unknown weakness in the iPhone. From various leaked documents, we know that a license to distribute intrusion software can easily cost more than €100,000.
It wasn't the first time Mansoor had been sent malware. Two European companies, Gamma Group International in Britain Gamma International was also based in Germany. and HackingTeam in Italy, had previously tried to break into his computers and phone. Citizen Lab had uncovered those attempted hacks too.
Both companies initially denied wrongdoing – until they were hacked themselves, by an activist calling himself Phineas Fisher. Phineas Fisher is thought to be a Spanish hacker who was arrested in early February. See The Register on Phineas Fisher. He unearthed internal correspondence showing that each had done business with a number of despotic states. The leaked documents show that HackingTeam has done business in Azerbaijan, Bahrain, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Egypt, Ethiopia, Honduras, Kazakhstan, Lebanon, Malaysia, Mexico, Mongolia, Morocco, Nigeria, Oman, Panama, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, South Korea, Sudan, Thailand, Turkey, the UAE, Uganda, the US, Uzbekistan, and Vietnam. Gamma International has done business in Bahrain, Bangladesh, Egypt, Ethiopia, Germany, Mongolia, Pakistan, Qatar, Uganda, and Vietnam. Both firms remain active today.
One in three exports is to "not free" countries
Incidents like this spurred the European Union to act to curb the export of surveillance products in 2014. Human rights activists were overjoyed.
But today, the celebrations have given way to disappointment. The new rules haven't had the effect many had hoped for. Research by our international consortium Security for Sale shows that EU member states permitted exports of cybersurveillance technology at least 317 times in the last three years. They denied only 14 applications.
Almost one third 29.7% to be precise of the licenses were for exports to countries the watchdog organization Freedom House Freedom House is a respected independent US organization that advocates for political rights and civil liberties, supports human rights activism, and promotes democratic change. It publishes regular reports on topics including press and Internet freedom, including Freedom in the World, an annual assessment of civil liberties in various countries. has branded "not free." Despite the attempts to hack Mansoor, Denmark and the UK have both approved exports of mass Internet surveillance systems to the UAE during the past two years.
Only 17% of permits were for exports to countries Freedom House deems "free"
And Finland has issued several licenses to the Finnish subsidiary of the Canadian company EXFO allowing sales of cellphone spying technology The technology in question is a so-called IMSI catcher, an eavesdropping device that mimics a powerful cellular tower. Phones in the area will try to connect to the network through the device. If they do, their communication and location data will be intercepted. Powerful IMSI catchers can spy on large numbers of cellphones, for instance during demonstrations. to countries including the UAE.
The UAE isn't the only country buying surveillance tools from Europe. Egypt – weighed down by General Abdul Fatah Al-Sisi's repressive regime Civil society has suffered severe repression under Al-Sisi's regime. Protests are banned, and countless opposition leaders and critics have been arrested. People who receive foreign funding for acts deemed 'harmful to national interests' can face life sentences. Other crimes include 'defaming religion' and offending 'public morals.' Members of the LGBT community are suffering increased persecution. since 2013 and ranked "not free" by Freedom House – received spy tech exports from the UK.
The British government also permitted the sale of surveillance technology in Vietnam, a communist one-party state ranked as "not free."
Reporters Without Borders Reporters Without Borders is a France-based international NGO that researches and promotes press freedom. has characterized the country as an "enemy of the Internet" and as the world's third-largest prison for online dissidents and bloggers after China and Iran. Denmark, meanwhile, allowed a Danish business to demonstrate a system for monitoring Internet traffic in Vietnam.
Of the licenses uncovered in our investigation, 52% were for exports to countries Freedom House ranks as "partially free." They include Turkey, where president Recep Tayyip Erdogan's government has cracked down on political opposition following a failed coup last year.
Only 17% of permits were for exports to countries Freedom House deems "free."
Compared to Finland and the UK, the Netherlands hasn't exported much spy tech. The Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which grants the relevant permits, issued one for the sale of software to Montenegro – considered "partially free" by the Freedom House. But it refused one for export to the UAE. In interviews, the Ministry told us it did so because of human rights concerns.
Why many more applications should be denied
"The data clearly illustrate that the current regulation is insufficient," says Edin Omanovic, a research officer with the nonprofit group Privacy International. Privacy International is a London-based NGO that defends the right to privacy worldwide. Founded in 1990, it has been highly active on surveillance-related issues. In 2016, it launched the Surveillance Industry Index, a database containing information on companies that sell spying tools. "The very low amount of applications being denied is concerning. Given that many of the countries that these products are being sold to have a problematic human rights record and no legal framework regulating the use of surveillance technologies, a lot more exports should have been refused."
US security researcher Collin Anderson, who wrote a report on regulating cybersurveillance for the NGO Access Now Access Now is an international foundation working on behalf of human rights, and specifically internet freedom. and has spoken about the subject before the European Parliament, draws a similar conclusion. "The few cases where a denial has been issued are success stories," he says. 'But the overall picture seems to be that the good intentions behind the rules have not been followed up in practice."
Security for Sale's investigation is the first extensive, systematic probe of the issue. The figures may actually be much higher. Of the 28 EU member states, 11 refused to furnish the information we requested. They include France and Italy, both home to some of the world's biggest spy-tech businesses.
"There are numbers you'll never find," says Marietje Schaake of the Alliance of Liberals and Democrats for Europe in the European Parliament, who's been at the forefront of efforts to monitor the digital weapons trade. 'We're talking about a very gray, untransparent, and dark industry."
"We're talking about a very gray, untransparent, and dark industry"
So how do the current rules work? In the EU, national authorities in the member states determine whether or not to grant export licenses for surveillance products, which are so-called dual-use goods, usable for both military and civilian purposes. According to EU regulations, issuers of permits must take into account "all relevant considerations" – including the possibility that a technology could be used to violate human rights.
The rule for dual use technology was added to EU export policies in 2014. Citing "growing security concerns regarding the use of surveillance technology and cyber-tools that could be misused in violation of human rights or against the EU's security," the European Commission decided the export of spying tools outside the union would henceforth require government approval.
The European Commission was referring to a number of incidents in which authoritarian regimes cracked down on the opposition using European technology. In 2011, Bloomberg found out activists in Bahrain had been tortured while being interrogated about private messages the authorities had intercepted using equipment from the Finnish-German conglomerate Nokia Siemens Networks. And there are more cases In Morocco, journalists for the critical website Mamfakinch were hacked using intrusion software from the Italian company HackingTeam. In Libya, after the fall of Gaddhafi, activists found out the French company Amesys had supplied the dictator with technology that allowed him to snoop on Internet traffic. And the French company Qosmos is being investigated over charges of providing Syria with spying tools. like this.
Human rights? Profits come first
Time to curb the export of surveillance technology, the EU decided in 2014. But the regulations proved to be weak. Conventional arms regulations dictate that a country must refuse an export license if there is a "clear risk" that a weapon could be used for internal repression in the destination country.
But dual-use technologies aren't subject to this rule. With them, the authorities can choose to prioritize other interests, like boosting economic growth or maintaining a good relationship with the country in question.
That means EU nations can decide for themselves whether to treat human rights as a decisive factor. "The regulation is mostly focused on security risks and is not geared to sufficiently address the risks of human rights violations," says professor Quentin Michel, an expert on export regulations at the University of Liège.
The European Commission acknowledges the presence of a "regulatory gap" and has put forward a proposal to strengthen the law. The proposal would not require member states to deny licenses for exports that could endanger human rights. But it would strengthen human-rights language in the rule and include more categories of spying equipment than the
Three types of cyber-surveillance technologies are currently regulated under the EU's dual-use regulation: (1) internet surveillance,
Internet Protocol (IP) network communications surveillance systems or equipment, and specially designed components therefor, (2) mobile surveillance, mobile telecommunications interception or jamming equipment, and monitoring equipment therefor and (3) intrusion software, specially designed or modified to avoid detection by "monitoring tools," or to defeat "protective countermeasures," of a computer or network capable device, and performing any of the following: a) the extraction of data or information, from a computer or network-capable device, or the modification of system or user data or b) the modification of the standard execution path of a program or process in order to allow the execution of externally provided instructions. that are currently regulated.
Klaus Buchner, the European Parliament's The process works as follows. The European Commission has submitted a proposal, which is undergoing discussion and review by the European Parliament. The parliament has chosen Klaus Buchner to report on the proposal. Supporting him are six shadow rapporteurs, drawn from Buchner's fellow members of parliament: Christofer Fjellner of Sweden, Bernd Lange of Germany, Sander Loones of Belgium, Marietje Schaake and Anne-Marie Mineur of the Netherlands, and Tiziana Beghin of Italy. Meanwhile, the European Council is formulating its own position. The council is made up of the heads of the EU's 28 member states, a chairperson, and the chair of the European Commission. Ultimately, the three bodies' proposals will result in a single amendment to the law. rapporteur on the proposal, says our investigation highlights the need for an update to the law. "The [denials of permission for 14] exports in your data set have in effect strengthened human rights and strengthened the EU as a trading partner," he says. "The importance now is to harmonize this human rights-focused approach across Europe in order to overcome internal differences and patchy implementation."
But it's not clear whether the proposed bill will be passed. The Danish government, in a memorandum, said "there is a general skepticism among member states" towards the new rule. That's because it differs from existing international agreements, such as the Wassenaar Arrangement, a voluntary but politically binding pact between 41 states regulating the export of munitions, tanks, missiles, guns, and digital weapons. The current EU rules are partly based on that agreement. European export rules are also based on other unofficial international agreements besides the Wassenaar Arrangement: those of the Nuclear Suppliers Group (dealing with nuclear proliferation), the Missile Technology Control Regime (on the proliferation of drones and missiles) and the Australia Group (to do with biological warfare).
Member states also fear that the new emphasis on human rights would "create uncertainty about the interpretation and implementation and thus create large administrative burdens for both companies and authorities," the memorandum said. The European Parliament will debate the proposal on February 28.

The surveillance industry still sells to repressive regimes. Here's what Europe can do about it The European Union has tried in vain to stop the export of spying technology to despotic states. Why is the industry so hard to regulate? Here's our analysis. How billions vanish into the black hole that is the security industry The European Union spends billions on research into advanced technologies meant to make society safer. But our investigation with 22 journalists in 11 countries shows that the generous subsidies are mostly good for one thing: filling the coffers of the security industry. Security for Sale. The price we pay to protect Europeans The EU has deep pockets when it comes to security. But who reaps the benefits of generous subsidies? The public or the industry? For over a year now, we've worked with 22 journalists in 11 EU countries to investigate the European security industry. The result is Security for Sale, which brings you up to speed on this burgeoning sector.

This is how we can fight Donald Trump's attack on democracy The news provokes outrage every day, but it rarely inspires sustained resistance. Now that Donald Trump has launched a frontal assault on democracy, the press needs to fundamentally change tack. Journalists have to beat historians to the punch and write history – before it repeats itself. A day in the life of a sniper fighting ISIS In few places has the fighting against the Islamic State been as heavy and sustained as in the Syrian town of Kobani, near the Turkish border. The Kurdish population there slowly but surely took back their streets from the terror organization. Filmmaker Reber Dosky made the trek to Kobani and came back with a unique portrait of a sniper in a battered city. Our kids may never get the chance to know America This would be a dark chapter in US history even if Donald Trump had lost the election. But thanks to the incoming president, American democracy is in an accelerated state of decay. Is there anything we can do?

To ensure a safe and productive school environment, we require all members of our community to familiarize themselves with our newly-updated 2017-2018 Student and Parent Handbook, which you can read and download here.

Where can I find the summer coursework?

Final schedules will be available when students arrive in the fall.
What do I do if I have questions about my schedule?
Where do I find Van Pool information?
What do I do if I have questions about my dorm?
David Koritkoski, the assistant dean of students, oversees dormitory housing and assigns returning boarding students housing. He collaborates with the Admission Office when assigning housing to new boarding students.
Each spring, current students state their preferences for rooming in the subsequent school year. Their choices are granted whenever possible based on seniority and previous rooming history.
Room assignments are finalized in late August. After the school year begins, every effort is made to keep rooming assignments for the year and students should seek the counsel of dorm heads, proctors, and the deans when there is disagreement or discontent.
Following those conversations, if the situation continues to be unresolved, a room change form may be obtained from the Dean's Office and must be signed by the student's advisor, dormitory head, and the dean of students before a move will be considered or approved.
How do I find my advisor?
Advisors are listed on Veracross.
Where do I find my textbooks and how can I order them?
Physical books can be ordered here, or any bookseller of your choice. (Books are not sold in the on-campus bookstore.)
Books may be shipped to the school (to 40 Park Street, Easthampton, MA 01027) in your student's name and will be held at the campus store for pick-up and will be available at Welcome Days.
If you have any questions, please contact Jane Hannigan in the Campus Store by phone at (413) 529-3240 or by email.
Where can I find tuition statements?

There is a sincerely deep conversation between the two parties, where Jesus looks at his own failures, and God eventually leaves to do godly things (according to the story, he leaves for hundreds of years at a time). This means that Jesus can now operate without his father interferring.

Jesus mission is quite simple: he must use all of his powers to kill Adolf Hitler and stop the holocaust. At first he is quite confident in his own skills, and simply storms the castle, in a very impressive scene where he dropkicks a Nazi by... well, you better see it with your own eyes.

weird fact: I've had the pee running scene saved on my computer for years without knowing where it's from, but wow, this seems awesome
- August 27, 2010 at 4:05 PM
Wait, what? It's back! Oh, thank you Jesus!
It will be hard to do better than the first part, considering that the awesome "walk on pee scene" is only the second better thing in this comics (my favorite happens between Jesus and Hitler and it's not about pee!).
- August 27, 2010 at 4:21 PM
- Matt Duarte said...
@mugiwara: I thought about including that scene, but, you know, people might be eating when reading this blog. Haha.
- August 27, 2010 at 4:25 PM
- twobitspecialist said...
I'm sure this is something that appeals to some people out there. I just don't know who exactly. Christians won't read it. Atheists who hate Jesus won't read it.
I'm at a loss here.
- August 27, 2010 at 4:39 PM
- Matt Duarte said...
@Twobit: I'm an atheist and I read the hell out of it. Throughout the comment section in the comic itself you will find many Christians who claim to love the site.
- August 27, 2010 at 4:45 PM
- Christine Hanefalk said...
This looks like fun. Regarding twobit's comment, I don't think most atheists hate Jesus, I'd think most would have a completely neutral opinion of him. I mean, the only difference between Christians and non-Christians would be that one group considers him sacred and the other doesn't.
I usually label myself a "hopeful agnostic," and I really like religious humor. When Matt mentioned this post on Twitter, I was reminded of an in-development show called JC that's scheduled to run on Comedy Central and all the controversy surrounding that (and this is without anyone even seeing a single clip since the finished script may not even exist yet). The view some take is that you're simply not allowed to use any Christian symbol in a humorous context, and that doing so means mocking people of faith.
I think another way to look at Jesus, and that seems to be the spin here, is as a prominent cultural figure. Whether you're a Christian or not, it's undeniable that to anyone who's grown up in Western culture, Jesus is a famous and hugely influential figure. As such, he's an icon and in the "public domain" so to speak.
- August 27, 2010 at 5:16 PM
@Matt Duarte: There are Christians who love this? Really? In that case, I say they're merely claiming to be Christians. Jesus engaging in violent acts and using vile profanity? No one who loves the Christ of the Bible would endorse anything like that. As you've probably guessed, I'm a Christian myself, and, honestly, had I not seen this as a post on one of my favorite comics blogs, would never have given it a glance. Having done so, I now know it's not for me, although I was pretty sure that would be the case.
While I'm not interested in the webcomic, I have been very interested in the comments that have followed this post. As a Christian who worships Christ, it is interesting to me to see how people outside of the faith view Jesus. It's not something that would probably come up in most conversations, and would be quickly dodged if it did, but here it is, thanks to the magic of the Interwebs (not to mention The Weekly Crisis. Best. Blog. Ever.) For that, I say thank you.
- August 27, 2010 at 9:22 PM
Jesus is a badass. This book is awesome, i've been waiting for a long, long time for a second trade to be released - looks like it won't be too far off!
- August 28, 2010 at 7:32 AM
looks fun although it wont appeal to the bible bashers. Im christian though:)
- August 28, 2010 at 8:16 AM
aethists dont hate jesus . we dont put in the effort to hate a fictional character
- August 28, 2010 at 8:18 AM
Im a christian but whoever takes the bible as word for word of truth then your kinda dumb. I use it as guidelines
- August 28, 2010 at 8:22 AM
this is the first time I have hated one of the posts in The Weekly Crisis for making fun of a spiritual leader and son of God to many catholics like me. It is ok, this is your tite, you own and have all the right to post wathever you want, but I feel that a respected site like this should be kept away from religion and politics.
To be honest I am offended by the content of this post but I know that is not the intention.
Just my toughts, thanks.
- August 28, 2010 at 12:03 PM
why should they be afraid to talk about these things . If they start to censor their features then it will start to go downhill . sorry if you dont like it but they put this up as it will appeal to quite a few.
bottom line dont like it dont read it (feature)
- August 28, 2010 at 12:38 PM
I agree with both Enrique and Anonymous. I'm not thrilled that Jesus isn't considered sacred enough (or perhaps I should say that the beliefs of Christians respected enough) that a post like this would be considered taboo. On the other hand, the same constitutional amendment that protects my freedom of religion also protects posts like this. Whudayagonnado?
- August 28, 2010 at 8:17 PM
- Ryan K Lindsay said...
I read this webcomic ages ago, and loved it. Jesus does come across as pretty bad ass but the Hitler interlude kind of went downhill a little, even more purile than I'd like, but as Jesus gets his partner too then that's cool.
As for it being offensive, I guess it could be. I could see Christians not liking it, sure, but being pffended by it really surprises me. Not saying it's wrong to be offended by it but it just seems strange. In my mind if this offends you then do you find any transgression of the ten commandments offensive. And I'm not being facetious, I'm also curious.
If we can have Time Lincoln, which is parody of a real man with real lineage, then we can surely poke a little fun at someone from so long ago, even if he is such a big figure now.
But I admit I could be greatly wrong, being an agnostic I don't really get that religious fervour at all...
- August 29, 2010 at 4:37 PM
- twobitspecialist said...
@Ryan L. - I'd love to explain that to you but I feel the comments section wouldn't be the most appropriate place.
- August 30, 2010 at 5:16 AM
I am not complaining at all, I just shared my toughts, yes I am Catholic and feel a little bit offended but it is not against your site because well, you did not create the comic in the first place.
My beliefs are making me thik, "what, if they are mocking Jesus then there is nothing respected left?"
I will continue visting this site because I really enjoy the work done byeall of the guys at TWC.
I just will be more careful to not read posts like this (Iknew from the title that I was not gonna like it but then I'm a moron and read it tough).
Have a great week guys.
- August 30, 2010 at 10:44 AM
well jesus is fictional so its ok :)
- August 30, 2010 at 11:50 AM
- Matt Duarte said...
@Enrique: I understand that this post/webcomic was not for everybody, and I understand exactly why. I put that warning in the introductory paragraph for exactly that reason, but I knew curiosity would get the best out of people anyway.
If it makes you feel any better, I don't have any other webcomics that feature Jesus as an action hero, so this will probably be the last you hear of religion for a while here at The Weekly Crisis.
- August 30, 2010 at 2:08 PM
Thanks Matt for taking the time to read the comments section and comment on them. Yeah I did see the warning but what can I do... after all, curiosity killed the cat! hahaha
Great site @ all the colaborators on the Weekly Crisis, keep up the great work.
- August 30, 2010 at 3:21 PM
so wait ou were warned you would be offended yet you open it up and comment that you were offended ........idiots I mean sorry buts the only way to describe it
- August 30, 2010 at 3:27 PM
- Matt Duarte said...
@Baker: Let's not get rowdy here. I knew that curiosity is a big draw, and people that knew would be offended would look anyway. It's human nature. Enrique was, despite being offended by it, completely polite about it, so there's no need to insult him about it.
- August 30, 2010 at 3:58 PM
its not really an insult matt its kinda stating the obvious . I mean its called jesus in the name of a gun and then a warning IT IS STUPID TO COMPLAIN . human nature or not
- August 30, 2010 at 4:49 PM
@ baker: and that is how you tranform into a Troll. Well played sir!
- August 30, 2010 at 6:04 PM
- andrewsaltz said...
Just want to compliment @Duarte, @Kevin, and @Enrique for having a civilized conversation about this. I saw 20 some comments and expected something akin to a car-crash on the highway.
- August 30, 2010 at 6:42 PM
wow a lot of haters! have not seen that many in some days. The guy just said he was curious, but you have to go and try to start trolling.
Ugh disgusting
- August 30, 2010 at 6:48 PM
Just a thought: right now, I want for a team up between this Jesus and Jesse Custer.
- August 30, 2010 at 7:28 PM
why are christians telling us there offended after they warned , Im not a troll but they do come across as kinda dumb
- August 31, 2010 at 8:36 AM
- twobitspecialist said...
I agree with Andrew Saltz and anon 26.
- August 31, 2010 at 11:28 AM
im sorry you can be as polite as you want but really you guys are coming across as whiny idiots
- August 31, 2010 at 11:50 AM
We here at The Weekly Crisis understand that this webcomic is probably not for everyone, and that if the idea of Jesus Christ as an action hero who kills people and curses a lot offends you in some way, you should perhaps not read this feature or this webcomic at all. Everyone else hit the jump to read what it's all about.
you are either cannot read , an idiot , ot whining for the sake of it . sorry but its that simple
- August 31, 2010 at 11:52 AM
The best part of this is that the Enrique-Haters are not getting any response from him to ignite a discussion. Something that is even better? that the ones coming as bully-idiots offending him are them. Wow I tought the trolls were dead in the "The Marvel Crisis" issue!. Long live the trolls!
- August 31, 2010 at 1:55 PM
- twobitspecialist said...
*recalls Ryan L.'s words of wisdom about trolls*
So... I didn't know you guys reviewed webcomics too. ;)
- August 31, 2010 at 2:32 PM
I'm generalising it does not seem aimed at him I don't know where you got that idea . The so called trolls do speak the truth though. And aren't the people that where offended trolls . They where warned.. ..
- August 31, 2010 at 2:50 PM
Wasn't ryans words about trolls written after you harrassed me ? Sorry but I don't know why your acting high and mighty
- August 31, 2010 at 4:07 PM
- twobitspecialist said...
So, Matt, are there other webcomics out there that you recommend?
- August 31, 2010 at 4:47 PM
Its fine jesus is not real, the only real god is allah , all other religons will be cast down
- August 31, 2010 at 5:01 PM
@Matt: thanks for the pacific response from you and also for being polite, that is what makes this site great, that the weekly crisis collaborators are great people sharing their hobbies. For all the people who called me a lot of things for saying that the comic offended me but not the post nor the site, it is ok; you have the right to express yourselves just like I did.
But hey, let us try to keep this peaceful, I did not offend anyone nor was that my intention.
Good weekend to all =)
