Google Reader is dead. Long live Windows Phone RSS apps
If you're slightly confused by the title, fear not as that's describing the rather odd situation RSS fans have found themselves in. Google has announced that its popular (actually, industry leading) Reader service will be closing soon. It comes as no surprise that many Windows Phone consumers have wondered what will happen to Google Reader (and general RSS) apps that are already available on the store.
It's emerging that developers are working on ways to keep services live and to provide updates to such apps to better serve consumers. This is a win-win situation, folks.
From July 1st, Google Reader will be no more, but the developer of Nextgen Reader has stated in a blog article that they've been pleasantly surprised by the sheer volume of emails and messages the team has received from consumers. They're pleased to announce that Nextgen Reader for both Windows and Windows Phone will continue to work and the team is already looking into alternatives:
- Self-hosted on Windows Azure
- Newsblur support
- Normandy - Feedly support
The team expects to have more information on a potential move later this month. But they're not alone. The developer of NewsSpot has also revealed plans to keep the RSS fire alight with alternatives. The team is looking forward to companies launching new services that pick up from where Google left off. They too will announce more in the near future. There's light at the end of the tunnel at least.
It's long been suspected that Google will cut loose RSS from its product line, especially with Feedburner laying dormant and slowly, but surely falling apart. Will the closure of Google Reader be the end of RSS as we know it? Not at all. There's the likes of Twitter that helps keep one informed of what's currently going on, so RSS has undoubtedly lost some use, but there's always room for good ol' fashioned website feed browsing.

There goes 1000 greader apps lol.
I've been using a direct feed reader like Yomomedia, so Google Reader's demise does not effect my daily habits. Plus it has podcast support.
But I heard, NewsSpot is going to strive forward after Google Reader =) how? dunno yet...
windowsPhoneGuy says:
Seems like I have to do some search for alternatives.
pbroy says:
Probably wasn't making enough money from people's personal information. It's getting hard these days to rely on services when you don't know if they will get bought up by some other company and then just shut down, because they were competing directly with your other services. With google, its Google+. With MS, it's Skype/MSN Messenger
Nickkk101 says:
How were people using RSS readers? Its not something I've had to use. Noob question but hey You cant know everything.
speedtouch says:
Worry not, we were all noobs at one point or another. RSS is essentially a list of articles on a news site or blog site or podcast site or any number of other sites that can list their entries in some sort of order. The site will create an RSS feed, which if I remember correctly, is an XML file. I could be wrong about that. You copy the URL of that feed and plug it into your RSS reader, like Google Reader. This enables you to aggregate news feeds from many, many sites onto one screen: Google Reader. (Or within Firefox's built-in RSS reader or Outlook's RSS reader, among others.) So rather than visiting each site individually, scrolling around, reading things until you stumble upon a story you've already seen, RSS readers only show you stories you have not read. You can save them for later, favorite them, download them to review offline, or any number of useful options.
RSS is wonderful and Google Reader was absolutely superb. I will truly miss it.
Nickkk101 says:
Thank you for that Speedtouch! Sounds like it was pretty neat.
dkp23 says:
Hopefully weave can create sometype of login so all my feeds can be show up if I reinstall on a new phone or other situations.
pookiewood says:
This! I need to go see if I can trade my phone because since the last update I get random reboots now. I don't want to have to setup my Weave again. It's one of my favorite apps.
NH3MAN says:
Totally want that too. It would be wonderful if Weave or even Fuze (I love both) allowed management of feeds that can be accessed from phones, desktops, and tablets.
glass says:
Shameless plug, but if anyone switches to (or uses) newsblur, my app - Metroblur - is a free client for WP8 and currently on the store. It is fairly simple, but I have a big update in the works. If you hate my app, I think FeedMe also has Newsblur integration.
Of course, Newsblur is currently melting because of all the traffic from Reader Refugees, so any client for it is a bit broken right now, but they are working on fixing it.
speedtouch says:
Hey, shameless plugs are how the world turns. I'll check out your app, thanks for the info.
forty3degrees says:
Thanks for the plug :)
Odog4ever says:
Glad that's one less Google service I feel compelled to use (will still need to use YouTube unfortunately).
I really wish Feedly had a WP app. Time to start the arduous process of trying out alternatives...
fbloise says:
if Microsoft is really smart, they should launch Bing Reader, with the option to import people's backup from google reader in XML format.
Now, thats only if someone in Microsoft is smart.
cannon#WP says:
Spot on. If they launched Bing Reader and it had the same functionality, but had a better looking UI it would be a coup.
Ordeith says:
That would be great.
But Microsoft doesn't move fast enough to take advantage of the situation before the crisis had passed.
Now a Nokia reader, maybe.
MooCoo says:
Nokia already had their Reading app under development, but it wasn't any good on 7.5. They should mix it with their Xpress app, and that could evolve into something great.
theefman says:
google forever! /s
Sean D. says:
Cool! This is one less thing the crybabies will stop crying WP not having an app for.
cannon#WP says:
There wasn't anybody "crying" for WP to have a google reader app, not with the glut of 3rd party apps that performed very well (my favorite FeedWorm works better than the official google reader app on my android tablet).
An official google reader app would not gain the same pub as an official Pandora or Instagram app.
Sean D. says:
Dude, check some of the sites, and the comments left on them. I have seen a lot of people asking for a google reader app.
jkercado says:
Do you live in a SnapOn truck? Because you're quite the tool.
jlynnm350z says:
Google and dead in the same sentence, doesn't get any better than that
cam45fblax says:
mr toes says:
Haha i must agree ;)
NH3MAN says:
This is the only Google service I use and I hate it but I am going to miss it. As a news junkie I use several RSS readers whether on my phone, my Tab, or desktop. I don't use Google reader per se but I import from it to all of my other ones. Its probably because of people like me that Google is throwing the switch because they are not making any money off of me.
Ticomfreak says:
Please, PLEASE another RSS aggregator rise to power!
fwaits says:
The devs of Weave have said on Twitter recently that they have an update coming with their own cloud sync solution (Azure backend) that will allow you to use your Facebook, Twitter, Google, or MS account login to access. I believe a W8 client is pending as well. I love Weave as it is now, so this will be my likely solution for any RSS stuff going forward.
pookiewood says:
Weave is great!
Jonas Jonsson says:
Weave is brilliantly designed and an excellent RSS client. I only wish I could swipe. from article to article.
aaa6112 says:
This ^ 1000. This is the only missing feature that is stopping me from buying the app. Since I am quite used to apps like USA Today and Nextgen reader that support the swipe-to-navigate feature, the lack of such a feature will render Weave very uncomfortable to use to me.
woodbane says:
Glad to hear NextGen redaer is looking to keep on going - it's my favorite app for both WP8 and Windows 8.
fourbadcats says:
Any word from Wonder Reader devs? I sent them mail but no response so far...
cannon#WP says:
Yea, I'm going to need an alternative to load my google reader feeds into.
edhunter69 says:
I want the bing w8 App on my phone!
al.cantara says:
apps, actually: Bing daily, Bing sports, Bing finance, Bing travel. Yes! Bing them all to WP :)
RStock521 says:
MS should create a reader app in the new outlook format so that it is on top along side of SkyDrive and calendar (whenever the new the version rolls out). Then release the API so devs can create apps!
simbadogg says:
This is a win win situation? Can you guys be less fanboyish please, just bring it down a level. That's a pretty dumb thing to say
iamoniwaban says:
So, what is an alternative service to google reader?
MethodGT says:
Newsblur for one, which Feed Me already syncs with.
stui83 says:
I heart rss
garak0410 says:
RSS feeds are the main source of my news and information. Google Reader made it easier. Anxious to see what alternatives show up...
evilrobot says:
I've been using Feed Reader as my WP7/WP8 reader of choice and I'm happy to hear they will be using the Feedly Normandy API.
spaulagain says:
This exactly why I don't use Google services. They are a search company. All these other services they have are just toy projects they throw at the wall and see if they stick.
WesternLights says:
The first RSS reader to support syncing with Netvibes gets my buy.
Wmorrison01 says:
Ok...anyone know of a reader on WP that is also on Android? One of the great things about Google reader was that they synchronize together, so read articles and favorites sync across all of my stuff...even using the web interface. I need something for my tablet, phone and computer. Anyone have a favorite?
Clodderes says:
No more synchronization between devices, oh how much we will miss that feature.
sHAYM4N says:
One of the smug few. Some reason never trusted google reader despite the many excellent WP clients. If you want something with backup & restore check out RSS Central.
wpbazaar says:
sorry but not into small fry online RSS services that could shut down the next time they can't pay the azure bill. I reckon if socl want to be a serious playa then adding an RSS reader would get heaps of signups
Siennaamelia81 says:
Google reader is not the only source for rss feeds, I moved to newsblur.com and there is an alternate option with rss central , which is an windows mobile app development displays RSS and Atom feed, gives news feeds at your fingertips.

I want to talk about BREAST CANCER.
I'm not going to blog a bunch of cancer statistics and information on research and treatment. Nope. You should know the important stuff and if you don't, Google it.
What I will do is share my opinion.
And my opinion about breast cancer is this: LISTEN TO YOUR FLIGHT ATTENDANT!
Let me explain.
The key to surviving breast cancer is early detection and treatment. So we women have to do two things: Do breast self-examinations every month, and get a mammogram every year. Pretty simple, right?
Last year, I casually blew-off my mammogram; I just didn't worry about it. I'm sure I was busy doing something important.
This year is different. I am motivated by the incredibly strong women in my life who have lost so much: her mom . . . her breasts . . . precious time.
Yesterday, I stopped being stupid and scheduled an appointment.
Today, I drive 15 minutes to the clinic and learn that I have not had a mammogram since 2006. Sheesh.
I lost two of my siblings that year, so I guess I've been in a time warp or something. Here I thought I missed one exam, when I have actually missed five. Things happened. I got busy. I got lost. I guess I got diverted.
My mammogram takes all of 15 minutes, involves a little discomfort, and 20 minutes later I am home again.
It is that easy.
So now, I want to know: Have you had your mammogram this year? Why
not? It's already October! What are you waiting for?
I know what you're thinking, "I've been meaning to, I'm just so busy."
And I get that. I know that you are crazy busy all the time. You have a job. You take care of the house. And the kids. And the spouse. Even the dog counts on you. You take care of everything. Every single day. You think you'll get around to taking care of you, but then . . . you don't.
Now, think about the last time you were on an airplane. Do you remember when the flight attendant reviewed the emergency and safety procedures? What did she say about your oxygen mask?
She said, "In an emergency, you are to place your oxygen mask on yourself first, and then place one on your child."
In short, you have to take care of yourself before you can take care of anyone else. It's that simple.
So just do it. Right now. Make your appointment. Don't let another day turn into another month. It is too important. You are too important.
This life of ours is a wonderful journey. And we love you and want you here for the entire beautiful flight. So ladies, please, stop with your excuses and put on your damn mask.
Thank you.

Thank you for an excellent reminder. May I just add that men can get breast cancer too, though rare (0.01% of the general population but 4% of descendants of Eastern European Jews). As one of those who had breast cancer and a mastectomy I urge men to listen to their bodies and if something doesn't seem right or feel right see your doctor. Now after fifteen years I get a mammorgram annually and am fine - all because something was bothering me and I asked my doctor about it.
Julia Kovach
1:04 pm on Wednesday, October 17, 2012
You are absolutely correct, Dick! Please forgive my neglecting you men in all of this! I am happy that you listened to your body, sought help, and overcame this serious disease! Thank you so much for reading and for sharing your very personal experience with the rest of us. We women love you men and want you well! Take good care! xoJulia
Frustrated Old Man
12:27 pm on Wednesday, October 17, 2012
Has anyone given thought to the damage from possible cancer causing radiation from all those mammograms? Don't believe me? Just Google all the new concerns over X-Rays, MRI, and CT scans.
12:52 pm on Wednesday, October 17, 2012
This comes directly from the National Cancer Institute.
"Radiation exposure. Mammograms require very small doses of radiation. The risk of harm from this radiation exposure is extremely low, but repeated x-rays have the potential to cause cancer. The benefits of mammography, however, nearly always outweigh the potential harm from the radiation exposure. Nevertheless, women should talk with their health care providers about the need for each x-ray. In addition, they should always let their health care provider and the x-ray technician know if there is any possibility that they are pregnant, because radiation can harm a growing fetus."
1:04 pm on Wednesday, October 17, 2012
I have to say Old Man you should really be commended for your attempt to discredit and scare people from having recommended tried and true life saving diagnostic testing done. You're a real hero.
Julia Kovach
1:06 pm on Wednesday, October 17, 2012
Dear Frustrated, as I'm uneducated on the effects of such a small amount of radiation involved in a mammogram, I cannot address that issue. But I am painfully aware of the result of NOT getting a mammogram and that cannot be disputed. Thank you for your perspective and take good care, my friend. xoJulia
Julia Kovach
1:10 pm on Wednesday, October 17, 2012
Thank you so much for your information, Mark. I agree that we need to discuss any concerns with our health care providers. And, hopefully, the technician will question the possibility of pregnancy, but ALWAYS we need to speak up about the possibility. Your input is greatly appreciated. Thank you for reading and sharing with the rest of us. Take good care. xoJulia
Julia Kovach
1:17 pm on Wednesday, October 17, 2012
Mark, did I say that I agree with you about everything? lol Yes, sir, I sure do. Take good care, my educated and informed friend. xoxoJulia
Frustrated Old Man
1:22 pm on Wednesday, October 17, 2012
I agree that the tests have saved lives. But I question if they are necessary as often as currently recommended. Maybe if you are a high risk for cancer, or are finding lumps, or blood test that indicate a possible problem.
My concern comes from what I'm hearing down in Florida. The health care industry is milking (no pun intended) the cash cow! If someone sprains their finger playing tennis, they rush them to the hospital for a scan. My sister has been living in Florida for about twelve years. During that time she has had at least 15 scans or MRI's. If her shoulder hurts, they have to do a scan, it's ridiculous! She's not the only one. Her friends, and neighbors go though the same thing. Surprise, surprise, she ended up with adrenal cancer about two years ago. We've never had a history of cancer in our families.
Julia Kovach
1:48 pm on Wednesday, October 17, 2012
Dear Frustrated, unnecessary medical tests are a real thing. I think we all need to be proactive patients; that's our responsibility as adults. If your sister visits the dr complaining about her shoulder, well, of course, they will run tests....and they will cover their medical behinds to make sure nothing is missed. BREAST CANCER is not something to be toyed with or compared to. History and medicine have proven the necessity of a yearly mammogram. You have a valid point as far as milking the cash cow goes....I honestly believe that if this was a man's disease, there would already be a cure. Enough said. Take good care of yourself and thanks for your opinion. xoJulia
1:59 pm on Wednesday, October 17, 2012
I will echo Julia here that yes there is a real problem with overkill on diagnostic tests but I wouldn't say mammograms fall into that category. We are talking about preventive health here not presenting with an illness or trauma and receiving a rash of testing. These are very different things and again Julia is correct that you should take a responsibility in your healthcare. Often times physicians have to do all of these tests to cover themselves from being sued because we are so litigious in this country.
John Madden
4:02 pm on Wednesday, October 17, 2012
Julia and Mark,
I agree with oth of you. My mother was diagnosed with breast cancer when she was in her late seventies and had a mastectomy and the usual other treatments. She lived in the years when x-rays were more powerful and in her mid-eighties had multiple radiation treatments to slow the growth of a non-malignant meningioma in her brain. When she died at eightynine, it certainly wasn't because of mammograms or radiation. Without the mammograms her life would have been shortened for sure due to cancer and she and my family would have missed out on wonderful times. Thank you for posting this.
Julia Kovach
4:13 pm on Wednesday, October 17, 2012
Oh, John, thank you so much for reading. And for sharing your story with us. I'm so sorry for the loss of your mother. But I am so happy that she overcame so very much and that you and your family were allowed that precious precious additional time with her. She sounds like she was an incredibly strong and amazing woman. And thank you also, for sharing your insight with us. Blessings to you and those you love. xoxoJulia
Linda Delcamp

I am a firm believer that the tests do save lives!! I am proof of this. I was meaning to have a mammogram after I breast fed my kids, but kept putting it off for some reason or other. I finally had a mammogram in January of 2006 and they found a very small but signifigant shadow on my right breast. After another test was done they discovered a lump in my breast. It was small (only 1cm) but enough that I had to have a lumpectomy, chemo and radiation. I have now been cancer free for 6 years!! I have a mammogram EVERY year around December to stay that way. By the way the lump that they found I wouldn't have been able to find it doing a self exam. It was deep near the chest wall. I still do the exams on top of the mammograms. Blessings to those for sharing their stories. xoxoLinda
Julia Kovach
9:36 am on Thursday, October 18, 2012
Linda....Thank you so much for sharing your very important and personal story. You ARE proof, my friend. We cannot take any chances with something so vital. I just received my results yesterday and learned that my mammogram was fine. Now I can breathe again. I share this news with you first. Congratulations on being cancer free! Yay You! And thank you, once again, for your testimony....Take good care of your precious self. xoxoJulia

News Release - June 12, 2013
New Release Focuses on Accelerating Adoption of TBM Best Practices, Visualizing Data More Clearly and Sharing Insights More Easily link_icon
Puget Sound Business Journal - June 06, 2013
Managing an IT department has become much more complex and lately many of the largest IT departments are run by people with finance backgrounds rather than techies. On Tuesday, a nonprofit affiliated with Apptio brought together nearly 600 IT professionals and CIOs to talk about the business of IT via Polycom video conference centers from London to Chicago to Seattle. Top-level tech executives from eBay, Goldman Sachs and Freddie Mac talked about creative ways they've found to cut costs and create transparency in their departments. link_icon
Reuters - May 16, 2013
Apptio, a start-up that helps big companies like Boeing Co track billions of dollars in technology spending, said on Wednesday that it raised $45 million from institutional investment firms including Janus Capital Group. T. Rowe Price, The Hillman Company, the investment firm of billionaire Henry Hillman; and existing venture capital backers including Andreessen Horowitz, Greylock Partners and Madrona Venture Group, also invested. Apptio is one of a slew of start-ups that have sprouted to help enterprises use cloud computing services more. Apptio is a partner of Amazon Web Services, the cloud business of online retail giant Amazon.com Inc. link_icon
ZDNet - May 15, 2013
The Bellevue, Wash.-based company raised $45 million in a Series E funding round, bringing the total amount raised by Apptio to $136 million. Apptio closed its Series D round in March 2012. Since then, Apptio asserted that revenue has nearly doubled with more than 125 global enterprise customers already signed on for its TBM products. Some of the global corporate customers include Boeing, Royal Bank of Scotland, Safeway, Target and Xerox.Apptio has also nearly tripled its employee base from 115 in December 2010 to nearly 350 now. An Amazon cloud partner, plans for the new capital include further investment in the company's technology platform as well as expansion of Apptio's international presence -- starting with more development in Western Europe. link_icon
InformationWeek - May 15, 2013
Apptio, the firm that says it wants to be the "Workday for technology business management," has just secured extra investment to help it get it there. "We want to be the business application to help the CIO run their operations as efficiently as they can," Apptio CEO Sunny Gupta told InformationWeek during a visit to Europe to start building his firm's momentum in what he says is a key geography for the company going forward. link_icon
GeekWire - May 15, 2013
Just 14 months after raising a $50 million venture round, Bellevue-based Apptio is back with a little more cash in its pocket. The company, which offers on-demand software and services for managing corporate IT departments, today is announcing that it has raised another $45 million in series E funding. It marks one of the largest venture rounds in a Seattle area company so far this year, and it cements Apptio's position as one of the fastest-growing enterprise software companies in the region. New investors include Janus Capital, The Hillman Company and an unnamed global institutional investor. Existing investors such as Andreessen Horowitz, Greylock Partners, Madrona Venture Group, Shasta Ventures and T. Rowe Price Associates also participated. Total funding stands at $136 million. link_icon

New Investors Join Existing Investors to Accelerate Apptio's Market Leadership of the Emerging TBM Category. link_icon
All Things Digital - May 15, 2013
Apptio, a company focused on helping CIOs get a deep understanding of their technology investments, has just scored a significant investment of its own. The company announced a short while ago that it had landed a $45 million Series E round of financing led by Janus Capital. The round brings Apptio's total capital raised to $136 million. Its last reported implied valuation was about $600 million. CEO Sunny Gupta wouldn't tell me the new valuation, but said it was a "considerable improvement." You can probably do the math yourself. link_icon
News Release - May 13, 2013
Apptio, the leading provider of on-demand Technology Business Management (TBM) solutions is proud to announce a new certified integration with ServiceNow, the leading provider of cloud-based services that automate enterprise IT operations. The two companies have worked closely together over the past few months to develop and certify a new integration between the two platforms. The integration now allows joint customers to easily share data between ServiceNow and Apptio, creating better financial insights on the products and services IT provides. In addition, the integration enables customers to define the cost of IT's products and services catalog. link_icon
Wall Street Journal - May 07, 2013
At a gathering of high-level CIOs at the Technology Business Management Council in Napa Valley, the topic was developing best practices for the financial management of IT. Some attendees tell CIO Journal they dread talking costs and investments with their CEOs. "Lots of CIOs have struggled, silently," Robert Webb, former CIO of Hilton Worldwide, tells CIO Journal. Both Facebook Inc. CIO Tim Campos and Hewlett-Packard Co. CIO Ramon Baez say that making the IT operation as transparent as possible not only stuffs future talks on costs, but frees them up to talk about innovation. "It was the first time they'd seen this level of detail," said Mr. Baez, about providing CEO Meg Whitman an up-close look at IT's cost structure. "You've got to invest to innovate," he said. link_icon

Pre-game News and Notes 4/15: Brewers @ Pirates
The Pirates (5-6) will face the Milwaukee Brewers (6-5) on Thursday at 7:05 PM/ET for the final game of the home stand.
Following the game, the Bucs will fly to Cincinnati for a three-game series starting Friday against the Reds.
Lefty-hander Paul Maholm will face lefty Randy Wolf.
Maholm is 0-1 this season, despite only allowing three earned runs over 12.1 innings.
- Jose Tabata's 10-game hitting streak came to an end on Wednesday, after going 0-for-2 with two walks against the Brewers.
Manager Clint Hurdle was very impressed with Jose Tabata's plate discipline during his final at-bat in the 8th inning yesterday. Tabata, with the 10-game hitting streak on the line, drew a six pitch walk.
Hurdle told Jenifer Langosch of MLB.com, "I'm not saying it's normal, but you'll find players at times that will put individual accomplishments in front of the game from time to time. A young man going up there, knowing what he needed to do and got down early in the count… took a walk. He'll have other 10-game hitting streaks. He'll have longer ones than that. But it was very encouraging to see that that's his mindset. His mindset is not that he can have an 11-game hitting streak."
- Evan Meek pitched a 1-2-3 9th inning on Wednesday. It was his first appearance since April 6th (right shoulder tightness).
- Catcher Chris Snyder is back in Pittsburgh tonight and will be the lineup tonight. Snyder was activated from the disabled list on Wednesday.
- Left-hander Joe Beimel should be joining the club on Friday in Cincinnati. He completed his rehab assignment with the Triple-A Indians. The Pirates will need to add him to both the 40-man and 25-man roster.
- Third Baseman Pedro Alvarez will get the night off, giving Steve Pearce the start at third.
Alvarez, who is notorious for having a slow start to the season, is batting just .200. Manager Clint Hurdle and Alvarez were out early taking batting practice.
Hurdle told Rob Biertempfel of the Tribune, What I'd like him to do is go up there and be reactionary. He hasn't gotten off to the start that he would like or we would like but it's still early and I'm just trying to get him to focus on a couple absolutes at the plate. See the ball, number one, get a good pitch to hit, number two, know that he can attack the ball anywhere in the strike zone, it doesn't need to be in a teacup. And just hit it hard where it's pitched. I can tell you that."
Rickie Weeks 2B, Carlos Gomez CF, Ryan Braun LF, Prince Fielder 1B, Casey McGehee 3B, Yuniesky Betancourt SS, Erick Almonte RF, Jonthan Lucroy C, Randy Wolf LHP

My Points | |
My Games |
So my order for Dust came in today and I am most pleased with the quality and detail of the units, and that you can use the boxes as carrying cases is a huge plus. Having planned this out as a starter force of about 150 AP for the army I find all of my sections full with only support options to be picked. I am going for an IJA themed force using the Axis Sturmgrenadier platoon list in the core book with a focus on Jungle fighting, basing my knowledge off of books and movies on the Pacific theatre. This comes in where I want to add a Panzer Walker in the force to have a good rounding to deal with ally or other axis walkers.
I have 101 AP so far in my starter list and that leaves me about 40 AP to work with for supports, which is perfect because I want to add either a Ludwig, a Luther, or a Flamm-Luther to the list.
The Ludwig is just plain sexy as far as walkers go and I could get away with including it by referencing the little Lend-Lease bit they have in the beginning of the Core book but my issue is that it seems to be a poor fit in the island jungle fighting that was prevalent in the Pacific theatre, so there is one issue.
The Luther would work just cause the plain fact that it could indeed work in the close up jungle fighting of the pacific islands and i could squeeze in a sniper team with it, adding more fluffiness to the list.
And finally the Flamm-Luther because it would work perfectly in the theme i want to run just because it has two flame throwers [the lack of flame throwers is something i can understand but don't really like due to my theme]. I am leaning heavily towards the option but my issue is that I have to shell out the 15 USD for the Op Zverograd book and then another 20 for the Flamm-Luther! This is compared to the 15 i would have to give for the Ludwig or Luther, a little disheartening when I picked axis because, even though i really wanted to do SSU, it was overall cheaper. [the store i use doing 10 USD for Recon squads, a focus in my force, which is compared to the 12.50 USD for the SSU Rifle Squads which was the focus of my wanting to do SSU. Let alone the book in addition]
So I came to the forum for your two cents to see if you can help me decide.
Page 1 of 1 (6 messages) | 1 |
I really like the Flamm-luther its a very solid choice to build an army around, but if the extra 20 is too much the Luther or Ludwig are good choices as well. Overall though I think if you are only going to be playing 150 points its probably better to save the Flamm-luther for the next time, as playing at 150 you would likely never face more then 2 tanks the Wotan from the kit would probably sit, but its very easy to swap in a luther for a ludwig and also bring the Lothar into the mix.
TLDR: buy the luther kit if you want flexibility, but the Flamm-luther kit if you plan on running the same list every night.

I don't really intend to run only 150 AP all the time, just as a start really, I only really need the support to finish out this platoon and then I am thinking about either another SturmGren platoon but based around Battle Grens and more Walker support, an Anti Tank focus if you will. I figure I can fit the Ryu in [Wotan-AR clone if i recall the web page correctly] the platoon and be a bit more fluffy. The term fluff still means lore in this game right? Had a run in with a GW district manager once who chewed me out about the term. The next group probably being Mannfred [on that note which expansion can I find him from tactics in?] with three Battle Gren Squads with the extra Schreck and the Extra Panzer support option to maximize, this is where I can fit in the Ryu, normal Wotan and Ludwigs I am thinking. The idea may change after the first few games, but its a thought anyway.
It's not that bad to get the Op Zverograd book but unless I run SSU [which I might anyway for the idea of a Chinese volunteer heavy force for a more historical opponent lend list or just to have fun] i am not sure if i really want to, but is it worth it for the three Panzer Walker rules and stats on it's own?
Look at it this way: You are going to face SSU eventually, and you want to know what they can do right? Get the book for the intel AND for the rules for your extra unit.
You can also download the PDF for less $$$ if you want to go cheap.
Come play Dust Warfare with us in metro Atlanta at Giga-Bites Cafe!
Or on Facebook:
PDF's are cool and all but I prefer to have the actual book on me when I do stuff. I've decided to go ahead and get the book, will probably get it by the end of today and may have a list up by tonight.
TBH the stats of the Flamm-Luther are the only unknown to me to see if i want to get it or a Ludwig for this platoon
Flamm-luther is move 1, armor 5, DC 6
it has 2 flame throwers each with 8" range that can be "combined" (fire only 1 flamer for +6" range so half the dice for a nice range bonus) and and mg 44
the damage profile is the same as the fireball for the flammers. can thus far only be taken as support in a sturmgrenadiere platoon.

I kinda bought the book since my last post and read the stats before i checked the forum…
the Flamm-Luther seems totally worth it but I think for this platoon the support will be a Ludwig.
The list I have so far with my theme is
Sturmgrenadiere Platoon (141)
Command Section: Kommandotrupp
1st Section: Recon Grenadiers
2nd Section: Laser Grenadiers
3rd Section: Recon Grenadiers
4th Section: Laser Grenadiers
Support: MPW II-B "Ludwig"
PS i know the lasgrens suck, but I like the short range power fire theme, I believe that it fits in the Idea of close in Jungle warfare and I am trying to keep the amount of human skin i need to paint down as I try to notice differences for colours in painting Imperial troops and Reich troops as far as skin goes. The second expansion for 300 AP is
Sturmgrenadiere Platoon (152)
Command Section: Manfred
1st Section: Battle Grenadiers [Upgrade]
2nd Section: Battle Grenadiers [Upgrade]
3rd Section: Battle Grenadiers
Support: MPW II-B Ludwig"
Support: MPW III-D "Flamm-Luther"
How does that Look?

I saw this website a few weeks ago. Unfortunately, the US version of the book won't be out till July. It looks like excellent "supplementary reading" for the October class from what I can see. The UK price is up there...£17 + shipping is pretty steep! But it is good to know faithful men are standing in the gap in the midst of a very faithless generation.10:16:21 - Category: Pastoral Theology - Link to this article -

Nice addition to a DSLR.
This is a good addition to a DSLR and not replace one especially during times that having a full sized DSLR isn't practical or not allowed e.g. in certain venues like concerts, museums or dining out, etc.

Canon PowerShot G1 X
THE GOOD: The Canon PowerShot G1 X delivers excellent photo quality and a nice shooting design. THE BAD: Two flaws stand out: the cameras underperforming lens and sluggish shooting speed. THE BOTTOM LINE: A big camera capable of shooting some lovely photographs, the Canon PowerShot G1 Xs slow lens disappoints given its high price.

One of the crucial issues for the USA (and the world) is the proper place of business corporations in our political decision-making and our culture. The governance structure of this democratic republic is something very great in world history; but the wealth and power of America are also very great, and influence over our government can be a reliable source of wealth. Recently the US Supreme Court reaffirmed that corporations have the rights of human individuals under the constitution, and that their spending to influence political decisions is a matter of free speech. Most Americans believe that this is wrong, but few of us have any depth of understanding of the history and issues involved. Abraham Entin, a long-time social activist and anthroposophist, has been working to educate his fellow citizens in the area. His essay, "Corporate Personhood -- A Christian Perspective," asks what makes us human, and then what kind of being is a corporation. Only in the human being does the miracle of free choices and conscience appear. To protect that he argues that the power of corporations must be limited by constitutional amendment. [Read the essay]
Marian Leon, the Anthroposophical Society in America's Administrative Director, is featured along with the society and its work on the cover of the Crazy Wisdom Community Journal, a substantial and long-running publication based in Ann Arbor and serving Southeastern Michigan. Inside a six-page article pictures the society's beautiful national office at Rudolf Steiner House.
The journal is one of the services of the Crazy Wisdom Bookstore and Tearoom, the center in this lively university city for spirituality, alternative health, progressive living and social consciousness. The bookstore hosted a series of talks in 2011, Rudolf Steiner's 150th year, on related initiatives, and Ann Arbor features a strong Waldorf School, the Rudolf Steiner Health Center, a biodynamic Community Farm, and the Great Lakes Branch of the society. Each issue of the CW journal presents a cover story on an influential local leader. [Read the article here...]
Among the Renewal Course offerings next month at the Center for Anthroposophy in Wilton, NH, is a week co-sponsored by the Anthroposophical Society in America with Rudiger Janisch and Penelope Baring, representatives of the general section of the School for Spiritual Science.
The course is for members of the Anthroposophical Society who inspire their daily lives and work through anthroposophical meditative practice and who might see their inner work leading to join the School for Spiritual Science.
It is also for members of the School for Spiritual Science who wish to deepen their understanding of the task and mission of the General Anthroposophical Section as given by Rudolf Steiner. The guidance for this course is taken from the path of meditative practice in the First Class. [Read more...]
In his latest E-News, Mark McAlister, administrator for the Anthroposophical Society of Canada, writes about learning anthroposophy from non-anthroposophists. As some ironic types like to say, "What a concept!" But seriously, Mark writes:
"It's been said that Alcoholics Anonymous makes it a principle to venerate newcomers. Their questions are sharp and immediate, and they prevent the organization from becoming complacent and irrelevant. Is there a lesson here for the Anthroposophical Society? What would happen if we paid more attention to the questions and concerns of newcomers?
"With this in mind, I decided to participate in the Cambridge Music Conference in Vancouver last November. Elizabeth Carmack (an anthroposophist) was the driving force behind the conference, but the vast majority of the presenters and participants had no direct connection with Anthroposophy. What brought them together was a deep concern for the plight and trauma of people in the justice system (including both perpetrators and survivors of violent crime), and a quest for real and sustainable healing. Nigel Osbourne (a composer from UK) was a particularly inspiring example. Working with children in war zones, he has shown how the elements of music can reach to the deepest levels of the human being and bring hope where otherwise there would only be despair. I did not feel that he was lacking anthroposophy; he was revealing it to me.
"One can have similar experiences in meetings of the biodynamic movement. I have met a number of young farmers in recent years..." [Keep reading...]
April 22, 1970 was the first "Earth Day." John Beck pulls together a few of the connections, notably between eurythmist and biodynamic farmer (and translator and teacher and mentor) Marjorie Spock (1904-2008) and Rachel Carson (1907-1964), the author of Silent Spring. That book, like Uncle Tom's Cabin over a century before, created a revolution in attitudes about our relationship with and responsibility toward our planet. Rudolf Steiner's anthroposophy enlarges and deepens the background of environmentalism while providing tools like Goethean science and biodynamic agriculture to understand the Earth and heal it. [Read more...]
A bonus comes in the form of a poem by Daisy Aldan, "Earth is a Being Who Deserves to Be Loved." If this was not written with Earth Day in mind, it should have been. It was published in The Threefold Review and later in Threshold from Anthroposophy NYC. Its central lines present an unforgettable global image of Earth that joins with Rachel Carson's vision of a spring without birdsong:
Multiple is she in anger and reverence,
passion and prayer. Even in catastrophe
and tempest, confounding harmonies enlighten.
She is haloed with many balancing haloes,
each day crowned with a corona of caroling
as bird-note meets bird-note at dawn moving westward.
The annual general meeting of the General Anthroposophical Society takes place each year in Dornach, near Basel, Switzerland, at the Goetheanum, this year March 22-24. A report by US General Secretary Torin Finser was sent out on March 31st [read it here]. Additional news is now available in several upbeat articles in the latest Anthroposophy Worldwide. Seija Zimmermann was reconfirmed as a member of the Executive Council and Joan Sleigh was approved as a new member. Virginia Sease presented an appreciation of Sergei Prokofieff, "honoring his wish to keep it simple."
Some credit for the amity of this year's annual meeting is given to the fact that it was prepared for the first time by the Executive Council working together with a members' group. For the future, "a working group (that includes Executive Council members Paul Mackay, Justus Wittich and Seija Zimmermann) has been formed with the goal of discovering a new form for our Annual General Meetings. The starting point for this cooperative effort is our shared feeling of dissatisfaction with the fact that the consideration of motions has taken up a significant amount of time during the Annual General Meetings, and that concentration on motions has had a strong impact on the entire Annual Meeting. Much of what lives within the Anthroposophical Society—positive, constructive, and innovative elements—is lost from sight and cannot be developed further. It has also been impossible to consider the very issues, concerns, or new ideas introduced by the motions themselves." [Read more in Anthroposophy Worldwide...]

Three recent postings in our articles section are worth a look. John Miller reviews Partnerships of Hope, an account by Christopher Schaefer of the challenges and successes of building a Waldorf school community. Leah Walker writes about the "threshold work" which is so important to the "biography and social art" inspired by anthroposophy. And Chris Schaefer praises the Doris Kearns Goodwin biography of Lincoln, on which the recent Steven Spielberg movie was partly based, for its illumination of karmic relationships. Read on...
Last week the Associated Press featured the Rudolf Steiner Fellowship Community in Chestnut Ridge, NY, under the headline "For the aging, a commune-like alternative in NY." Appearing on websites and newspaper pages across the country, the story is a friendly and accurate description of the life and intentions behind this remarkable community focused on the needs of the aging. "Commune-like" is the lead phrase, but later the thought emerges that this is how life in a large family used to be, with people of all ages present and engaged, and the elders both giving and getting help freely according to ability and need.
"'It's a great place to live, and I think there's probably no better place in the world to die,' says Joanne Karp, an 81-year-old resident who was supposed to be in her room recovering from eye surgery but instead was down the hall at the piano, accompanying three kids learning to play the recorder." "Larry Fox, 74, a psychologist, treats patients at the Fellowship's medical office and said, 'Where could I be at my age and be so happy to get up in the morning and look forward to the day?'"
Read the full article here at ABC News. And the community's own website has a lot more to share: www.fellowshipcommunity.org
The theme for the year 2013-2014 was recently published in Anthroposophy Worldwide, and was written for the Goetheanum leadership by Christiane Haid, who was chosen last year to head the Section for the Literary Arts & Humanities of the School for Spiritual Science.
"Following on the question of 'The Identity of the Anthroposophical Society' (the theme for 2012), we turn to the development of the human I in 2013. The individual I is both the eye of the needle and the focal point that serves to form our community and society--indeed, all of the circumstances around us." Continue reading...
The first issue for 2013 of Anthroposophy Worldwide brings a translation of Sergei Prokofieff's letter on his work and health. With the annual general meeting March 22-23 he will move to emeritus status on the Executive Council at the Goetheanum, and will have to curtail his speaking and communications activities due to complications of his illness. His anthroposophical research work continues, and two further books are soon to be published, and he thanks friends around the world for their expressions of support and good wishes.
Along with the new issue of Anthroposophy Worldwide comes a winter scene from the Goetheanum neighborhood in Dornach, Switzerland.
The Anthroposophical Society was founded by Rudolf Steiner in Switzerland in 1923. It seeks to support individuals who are working on their own inner development and who wish to bring the fruit of that inner work to benefit the wider world. More...

A Plea to My Shepherds
... I would exhort these, my fellow conservative evangelical shepherds and thinkers, to set aside all reticence and fear, emerge from anonymity, and storm the forum of discourse, engaging this most pressing matter with vigor, equanimity, and humility. In doing so, know upfront that there will be few handrails to guide; you will not be building upon an extensive precedence of published conservative thought.
Series: Biblical and Scientific Shortcomings of Flood Geology
Gregg Davidson and Ken Wolgemuth seek to remove the stumbling block of the Genesis flood in this four part series. Though many believe in an ancient world-wide flood, the evidence given does not hold up to geological scrutiny, but points rather to something regional instead. It is their hope that Christians will not walk away from faith in Christ simply because a global flood is not supported by science. Looking at natural phenomena like the Grand Canyon, salt beds, and fossil deposits, they reveal reasons for these deposits and structures while showing that their origin did not stem from a violent flood that covered the planet.
Gracious Dialogue
Our desire to engage in gracious dialogue with fellow believers who reject biological evolution has been receiving increased attention in both the Christian and secular press. More importantly, we are being joined in this reconciling project by our brothers and sisters in Christ who have often been defined primarily as our "opponents".
Mitochondrial Eve, Y-Chromosome Adam, and Reasons to Believe
When presented with the evidence for human population sizes over our evolutionary history, a common point of confusion for evangelicals is how this evidence fits with Mitochondrial Eve. How can we all come from one woman (and one man) but also come from a large population of 10,000 individuals?
Series: From ID to BioLogos
In this series, Dennis Venema describes his personal journey that took him away from the Intelligent Design arguments toward the evolutionary creation worldview. Through careful and honest research, he discovered ID scientific reasoning to be analogy-based, in sharp contrast to evolutionary science, which was supported by concrete data. After accepting this view, God's presence ever strengthened him as he explored the compatibility between the Bible and God's creative mechanism.
The (Lack Of) Conflict Between Science and Religion in College Students
Media-hungry atheist, creationist and religious fundamentalist provocateurs have dominated the science and religion narrative for the past decade. A recently published large-scale survey of college students, however, finds that the call to arms has fallen on deaf ears.
Adventist Origins of Young Earth Creationism
Many evangelicals believe that Young Earth Creationism is the only authentic, biblical way for Christians to understand origins, and that until the advent of Darwin's theory of evolution, it was the only view held by Christians. However, in this excerpt from Saving Darwin, Karl Giberson explains that Young Earth Creationism's origins are surprisingly recent.
Series: Recovering the Doctrine of Creation: A Theological View of Science
Robert C. Bishop explains that many believe two things about creation: that the universe was created out of nothing by God and that he accomplished this in six days. This overly simplistic view does not do the robust Doctrine of Creation (DoC) justice, and it unnecessarily hinders much of the dialogue between evolution and Christianity. Bishop "recovers" the DoC by exploring the limitations of creation, God's sovereignty in the process, God's Trinitarian activity and ongoing purpose for his creatures, and the salvation of creation in space and time.
What Are We to Make of Adam and Eve?
There are those who would say that Adam and Eve designate specific historical figures. That makes some sense, acknowledges theologian Alister McGrath, but it makes even more sense to say that Adam and Eve are figures that encapsulate the human race as a whole.
Series: The Flood: Not Global, Barely Local, Mostly Theological
The three part series, written by Paul Seely, explores the scientific validity of the Flood in Genesis. He offers the approximate date of the flood according to Scripture, and then looks at various lines of evidence that contradict the idea of a global flood at that time. In light of other Mesopotamian flood stories, scholars conclude that the flood was local at best. In the end, he suggests that this story primarily reveals theological truths from a limited scientific understanding of natural events.
Scripture vs. the Facts? Working through a Crisis of Understanding
I'm a conservative evangelical. When I became a Christian fourteen years ago, I not only embraced profound new spiritual perspectives, but inherited a host of new scientific views: the earth was young, macro-evolution was false, and to affirm the contrary was to discredit the Bible and even the Gospel.
How is BioLogos different from Evolutionism, Intelligent Design, and Creationism?
We at BioLogos believe that God used the process of evolution to create all the life on earth today. While we accept the science of evolution, we emphatically reject evolutionism. Evolutionism is the atheistic worldview that says life developed without God and without purpose. Instead, we agree with Christians who adhere to Intelligent Design and Creationism that the God of the Bible created the universe and all life. Christians disagree, however, on how God created. Young Earth Creationists believe that God created just 6,000 to 10,000 years ago and disagree with much of mainstream science. Supporters of Intelligent Design accept more of evolutionary science, but argue that some features of life are best explained by direct intervention by an intelligent agent rather than by God's regular way of working through natural processes. We at BioLogos agree with the modern scientific consensus on the age of the earth and evolutionary development of all species, seeing these as descriptions of how God created. The term BioLogos comes from the Greek words bios (life) and logos (word), referring to the opening of the Gospel of John. "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. Through him all things were made."

Willing to be Wrong
The debate is often not about evidence, but about making sure that others do not transgress our interpretive boundaries and insist that we're wrong. We've bitten from the tree of knowledge and we love its taste.
Series: Maker of Heaven and Earth
In his sermon, Dave Swaim discusses the early chapters of Genesis that seemingly contradict scientific evidence, and he suggests that Christians have simply asked the "wrong questions" about this ancient text, which has led to warfare between the two. In light of this, Swaim wraps up his sermon with the three concluding points that he feels sums up the Biblical truth of creation: there is an all-powerful God, he has a perfect plan, and he has given us his love through Jesus Christ.
Christian Geologists on Noah's Flood: Biblical and Scientific Shortcomings of Flood Geology
Geologists Davidson and Wolgemuth address the widely promulgated notion that the Flood can account for the earth's complex geology, and that all genuine Christians should accept this viewpoint.
Recovering the Doctrine of Creation: A Theological View of Science
Philosopher Robert Bishop explores the Biblical doctrine of creation, which he describes as "perhaps one of the most helpful pieces of theology for thinking about science", and describes why the doctrine needs to be recovered from narrower, contemporary interpretations of creation.
America's Culture Wars: A Different Perspective
In this video Conversation, Rev. N.T. Wright responds to the controversy in evangelicalism about evolution. Is this a "culture war" issue?
Science, Scripture, and the Creation Narrative
In these two brief video Conversations, John Walton discusses the problem of trying to integrate ancient scripture with our modern worldview.
On Genesis 2 and 3
In this video Conversation, N.T. Wright explores how the ancient Jewish audience read Genesis before and up to the time that Jesus arrived. He asserts that readers of Genesis today who focus simply on the number of days of creation and whether there is evidence in the text pointing to an old or new earth—are in effect not reading the complete text.
Understanding Earth
When we read Genesis 1.1: "in the beginning God created the heavens and earth" we picture the origin of the atmosphere, space, solar systems, and galaxies. But in Genesis 1 "earth" does not mean the planet Earth.

Great Price and Solid Performance
By BulbsBoss
From Worcester, MA
See all my reviews
The light from this LED from Maxlite is remarkably similar to a 40 watt frosted incandescent both in color temperature and brightness. It's rated as a warm white 2700K and appears to very similar if not exactly the same as its standard incandescent cousin. Brightness (lumen output) also appears to be on par with incandescent bulbs. For anyone using a lampshade fitted for a standard A-style (regular) bulb, you'll be pleased to know that these LEDs have a very similar diameter and overall length and will work with virtually any lampshade intended for an A-style. Here comes the best part – these LEDs are rated for 40,000 hours – you'd replace 30-40 standard incandescents over the life of this product AND since the LED uses only 7.5 watts, it's consuming about 20% of the electricity of its incandescent equivalent. The only criticisms are that this version isn't dimmable and can't be used in an enclosed fixture. There is also a fraction of a second delay between the time the switch is turned on and the time the bulb actually lights. Given the low price of ([$]) this LED is among the first to be both affordable and live up to the promise of the new technology – highly recommended!

Maxlite A-style LED
By Marketing Maven
The Maxlite 7.5 watt A-style LED performed very well when tested at our facility. At 480 lumens, it produced the same amount of light as most 40 watt incandescent bulbs. In fact, when placed side-by-side, the Maxlite LED puts off slightly more visible light. We would recommend this LED as a perfect replacement for your 40 watt incandescent bulbs. And with a 40,000 hour life, if you are using it a few hours a day, this bulb is capable of lasting up to 37 years!

Abrams leads Illini past Auburn at UC
By: Aaron Bennett
Updated: December 29, 2012
Illinois got the scoring started with the hometown kids. After a block from Brandon Paul, Abrams went coast to coast for the first score of the game. Paul then hit a layup, then Nnanna Egwu showed off his midrange game by sinking a pair of jumpers early on. Egwu finished with 6 points after going 3-7 from the field.
Abrams was the man of the hour. In his first season as a regular starter, he broke out with his 27 point performance, 16 of which game in the first half. The sophomore was efficient, making 6-11 while dishing out five dimes and turning the ball over once. He also got to the line 15 times, sinking 13 of his free throws.
Paul did have the basket of the game when it came to style points. He drove in the lane, then as he was falling down, the senior flipped the ball up in the air. It went off the glass and through the hoop.
While Illinois was once dominated in the paint (Auburn scored 34 points under the basket and grabbed 14 offensive rebounds), the floor generals showed their aggression today. Abrams and Paul earned a combined 25 trips to the charity strip, while converting 20 free throws.
Illinois starts conference play Wednesday when they visit Purdue.

Good comment on not parking near other cars. I do the same, & my 10-year-old car has NO dings. Plus I get a little extra exercise, too!

EDITORIAL: Another Midsea? - Thanks Ato Ahwoi
A lot of water has passed under the bridge since this short easter break which may be worth our while to comment on.
On the eve of the break, the unfortunate news hit the airwaves that some high profile people in Ghana football would be richer by some $2 million each year, the reward for brokering a sponsorship deal for the Black Stars.
That sponsorship has been secured for the Stars with the Ghana National Petroleum Company (GNPC) coming in handy for the departing Gold Fields Ghana Limited, who has sponsored the national team since 2005, is news to behold.
But the snag is that the projected $3 million-a-year sponsorship by GNPC for three years stands the danger of being scuttled altogether should the so-called agents not refrain from their alleged scandalous planks.
As published elsewhere, the chairman of the board of GNPC, Ato Awhoi, has been categorical in his denial of any agent in the decision to get the company to sponsor the Stars for three years. After all, GNPC considers the gesture as part of its social responsibility to the people of Ghana and will not entertain a third party fleecing the national team of its just sponsorship.
Indeed, GNPC must have acknowledged the request from the FA president, as we are told, that the company be made to step in. And it was based on that approah that the company gave its word to take up the sponsorship for the next three years.
Against this backdrop, the GNPC board chair was reported to have threatened that the national oil company would back off from the sponsorship should the FA present any body or entity as agent responsible for the facilitation of the deal to which an agency fee would be paid.
So, if the deal was brokered between the FA president and the GNPC board chairman, as it were, then the crucial question to be asked is, at what point did the company called Westhead come in as agents in the deal?
This is a question that must interest the Public Interest Committee (PIC) of the GFA, as well as the FA's Sponsorship Committee, and above all the para-statal Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO), to move in swiftly.
We think that this matter should be investigated for the full facts to be established whether there was any role played at all by Westhead and if not what must be the motive for the alleged representation or misrepresentation?
For us, this latest in the sponsorship deal for the Black Stars throws up reminders of the Midsea saga in the Glo sponsorship deal for the Ghana Premier League.
In circumstances too close to call, an estate company by name Midsea metamorphosed into a football agency and allegedly brokered the Glo deal which entitled it for a 10 per cent agency fee. But Midsea's alleged role has since been disputed as only a facade while the agents remain dysfunctional in the affairs of the sponsorship.
If some smart fellows around Ghana football took everybody for a ride in the Glo-Midsea deal, we can only thank the GNPC board chairman for his vigilance in averting for now what otherwise would have been another murky sponsorship deal that would make people enrich their pockets for no apparent work.
It is a shame that some people have conveniently attached themselves to the FA like a leech and looking for loopholes to exploit in the system to fatten their wallets.
Indeed, the FA must feel scandalised by these developments and needs to take appropriate and far-reaching steps to purge its ranks of the dishonest opportunists.
Meanwhile, the news of Kwasi Appiah's appointment as the substantive coach of the Black Stars hit the footballing world like a jack-hammer.
And for us, who have been vehement in the campaign for local coaches, we would naturally be expected to applaud the appointment of Kwasi Appiah.
But more anon...

Just four months after the August elections Campbell County may find itself in familiar territory- without a mayor.
Newly elected County Mayor William Baird has made his intentions to throw his hat in the ring for Tennessee's Secretary of State public.
If he gets the nod, the county commission may again be forced to appoint a replacement to carry out the late Jeff Hall's unexpired term. This will be the second time this has occurred for Hall's term.

Item was packaged very well but inspite of that there was quite a bit of rust on the chrome. Also in the pic the triangle base of the legs are separated, in reality they welded a bar between the two. Just not quite as cool that way.

Heisman Winner Hunting in Arkansas?
By: KARK 4 News
Updated: January 23, 2013
Manziel, commonly known as "Johnny Football," tweeted on Wednesday night that he's headed to Stuttgart for a duck hunting trip with his father.
The 2012 Heisman Trophy winner also mentioned that he would like some of the stars of "Duck Dynasty" to join him and his father in the hunt.
Arkansans might prefer to see Johnny Football with a rifle instead of shoulder pads and a helmet, as the Hogs fell to the Heisman winner at Texas A&M 58-10 last season.
