Loved it
great Humor and story and use of....everything!
Can't wait at ALL for 4
Thanks for the 10s.
not bad
Pretty good! Here's why I rated... well, whatever I rated.
Graphics: all sprites are good!
Style: good story
Sound: the sounds before the credits not that good, so I rated on the Japanese or Chinese song.
Violence: not the best, but still good.
Interactivity: Only games get good interactivity, but no one cares about it (I think) because they get to watch awesome videos.
Humor: This is the most humorous thing I've ever seen! mainly the end (not the credits) Outakes aren't as good. still good.
Overall: Good, One of the best I've seen. 3rd--5th In the ones I've seen, maybe better.
Keep up the great work!
Thanks. I rather like in-depth reviews. You learn more from them.
Graphics: I wouldn't say all sprites are good, but with anyone who has some skill of sprite animating, it becomes a real pleasure to watch.
Style: Thanks for that.
Sound: Meh, they did their job so I'm not complaining (I can't. I spent too much effort on those sound effects).
Violence: Work in progress.
Interactivity: You're not wrong on that one.
Humor: Everyone's humor is different and as I've noticed, good out-takes are becoming harder and harder to make.
Overall: Thanks again for the review and I hope to learn from this.
as peter griffin would say, "That is AWESOME!!"
10/10, and 5/5
simply amazing and i wonder when part 4 is comin out
that is all
Well, just like I would say, "Thanks and FEED THE EGO!!"
Sadly I don't know when part 4 is coming out. There's been a lot of technical problems lately.
In One Review You Stated That It Is Impossible For SonicTo Turn Into Hyper Sonic Without SS.UNTRUE!Sonic Can Temporailily Absorb SS.
Good Movie.
How do you know that for sure? I've already thought of that and I've already planned for a result like that. How, when, where and why is still a mystery to the rest of you.
awsome cant wait for the 4th one.
(P.S. in sonic look alike i ment to put who not how)
Thanks for the 10s.
(P.S. I sort of figured that, but thanks anyway.)

We'll rape you: Twitter trolls target Walthamstow MP Stella Creasy
Published: 29 July 2013
Updated: 07:24, 30 July 2013
A woman MP today called in police after receiving a stream of rape threats from Twitter trolls.
Walthamstow MP Stella Creasy vowed to stand up to the internet abusers who she says routinely target women with illegal threats and menaces.
She was targeted by the abusers after she defended Caroline Criado Perez who was subjected to rape and murder threats on Twitter after she successfully campaigned for Jane Austen to be put on a new £10 bank note.
One message sent today said "You better watch your back. I'm gonna rape your ass and out the video all over the internet."
Another sent late last night from a Twitter user calling himself @rapey1 stated: "@stellacreasy i will rape you tomorrow at 9pm. Shall we meet near your house?????"
But Labour MP Ms Creasy fought back by retweeting the threatening messages and warning the "morons" responsible they would face justice.
To an abuser who called her a "dumb blonde bitch", the MP retorted: "that's dumb Dr blonde bitch to you actually". Ms Creasy is using the hashtags #takebacktwitter and #takenoshitmp in her responses.
"It is vile, absolutely vile," said Ms Creasy. "It's not about sexual attraction, it's about power. It is somebody trying to make you frightened. It is about sex as a weapon."
"What I've had is nothing compared with Caroline – she has had five solid days of it and it is ten times as bad.
"It's not just me. Women who speak out in public life, especially if they champion equality, get serious abuse.
"I get comments about my sexuality, I get comments about my attractiveness, my intelligence, we get random abusive messages every time we speak up about something.
"But one of the things you can do as an MP is say, 'this is not OK and there will be consequences for it'."
The tweets have increased the pressure on Twitter to introduce a "report button" so that trolls can be immediately identified and dealt with.
Currently the only complaint service Twitter currently provides to report abuse is via an online form which critics claim is inadequate.
A petition calling for the "report button" to be introduced had received almost 60,000 signatures today supporting the idea.
Ms Creasy says she has no truck with people who say MPs should ignore such abuse.
"This is not for women to accommodate – it's for society to stamp out," she said.
"Rape threats are illegal. I get involved with a lot of Twitter discussions, and I expect people to be critical of me and defend their right to do so.
"But threats of criminal violence like this are not the same as abusive messages."
However she is furious that Twitter has failed so far to respond properly to her complaints. She has had emails but has not been given a phone number to take up the issue directly with the international social networking site.
"I'm frankly incandescent with twitter who cannot even give you a phone number or respond to requests to call the police," she said.
"You are thinking, 'guys, think about it, people are asking for your help because the platform you run is being abused to commit a crime.
"Twitter should be working with the police. This isn't free speech, this is threats of violence which are illegal offline or online.
"What we are trying to do is make sure that the police and Twitter have an appropriate response to this stuff that takes account of the fat that a crime has been committed on the internet."
Asked by the Standard about the Creasy case, a Twitter spokesman said the social network could not comment on individual accounts.
But she added: "We have rules which people agree to abide by when they sign up to Twitter. We will suspend accounts that once reported to us, are found to be in breach of our rules.
"The ability to report individual Tweets for abuse is currently available on Twitter for iPhone, and we plan to bring this functionality to other platforms, including Android and the web.
"We encourage users to report an account for violation of the Twitter rules by using one of our report forms."
This statement follows a series of tweets by Twitter's UK General Manager Tony Wang over the weekend.
He wrote: "We will suspend accounts that, once reported to us, are found to be in breach of our rules.
"Also, we're testing ways to simplify reporting, e.g. within a Tweet by using the "Report Tweet" button in our iPhone app and on mobile web.
"We encourage users to report an account for violation of the Twitter rules by using one of our report forms.
"We take online abuse seriously and provide advice and guidance to our users."
Among other tweets sent to Ms Creasy were: "IF I MEET YOU IN AN ALLEY YOU WILL DEFINITELY GET F*****".
Ms Creasy replied: "You send me a rape threat you morons I will report you to the police & ensure action taken."
One women tweeted to the MP: "I've been trying to get @norapist shut down for a while."
The tweeter she said should call her "dumb Dr blonde bitch" - in recognition of the fact that Ms Creasy completed a PhD in social psychology after graduating from Magdalene College, Cambridge - replied to her: "love it least u can have a laugh". But Ms Creasy rebuked him: "I'm not having a laugh, i'm cataloguing your vile conduct."
Lawyer Mark Lewis tweeted: "Go Doctor! Brains always defeats vile idiots."
Ms Criado-Perez tweeted: "@stellacreasy has been an amazing support. I wouldn't have got thru the last few days without her."

Over 20 randonneurs set off on the Faceless Monk 200 last Saturday for the penultimate event of the year. There were a few rain showers early in the day, but the sun came out in time for some great views at Bective, Monasterboice and Old Mellifont. Thanks to Olivier for the photos.
The final event of the year is the Gheimhridh 200 on Saturday December 6th. The start has been moved to Stamullen. See http://www.audaxireland.org/gheimridh-200/ for details. Seven randonneurs are still aiming to complete the Randonneur Round The Year in December, while several others are part of the way through, so there should be a good turnout in Stamullen.

Oil in WV? Thought that was coal-country.
People forget that the first oil well was in Titusville, PA - Pennsylvania grade crude oil has always been highly prized. The Appalachian Mountains have a long history of oil production, extending from southwestern New York well into West Virginia, with a fairly large belt right around Parkersburg, WV.

The game lasted from 7:15 to 10:07 Central, which means that the emergency C-section resulting in my birth most likely occurred around the sixth or seventh inning. It's probably a good thing it wasn't two days later; my mom was a Cardinal fan at the time.

I have three prime suspects for you.
The position players have excellent speed. Moreno stole 50+ bases five times, Williamson swiped 45 bags in 1887, and Furcal has stolen 40+ bases twice.
Ossie Bluege was my great-aunt's brother-in-law, and he got me one of the two autographed baseballs that I own, a Twins' team ball c1970. (Ossie worked in the Twins' front office, having managed the old Senators for a while and then run the franchise's farm system.) What I didn't know was that he could play second base, though for a Birthday Team one is allowed to do a little shuffling. He was one of the better-regarded fielding third basemen of his era, sort of a Pie Traynor without the high batting average.12. Dag is a salt water fish in fresh water world Posted: October 24, 2012 at 07:00 PM (#4281991)

Travel Troubles
It's fine when you're at home. When you're sitting at your desk, as you probably are now, you can be excused for wanting to be somewhere else.
You're probably daydreaming about a beach in Thailand, or the taste of fresh bread in France, or the silhouette of acacia trees on a plain in Tanzania. Well, I would be, anyway.
And that's OK. When you've got the travel bug you can safely accept that you'll spend a lot of your time at home wishing you were somewhere more exciting.
The problem, however, comes when you catch yourself doing this daydreaming when you're already away; when you're supposed to be having the time of your life but your mind starts wandering to the next destination, or the next big trip.
That's the curse of the traveller: the more places you've been to, the more places you want to be in right now. And you forget to enjoy what's right there in front of you.
You might say it's a First World problem, but it happens. I know it happens to me all the time.
I'm in Iran right now, and it's turning out to be one of the most amazing countries I've ever visited. Even still, it has been difficult to stop from casting my mind forward a week or so to when I'll be in Burma, and to all the things I'll be doing there. And other times I'll find myself thinking about home, in Australia, where I'll be in a fortnight or so, and what I've got to look forward to when I get there.
This is all while exploring labyrinthine bazaars and wandering through centuries-old mosques. I wonder where I should go after Mandalay, I catch myself thinking, as I stroll down a street in Esfahan. It's crazy.
You can find yourself with a perpetual yearning to be somewhere else. And it's not just things to look forward to, either, but places you've already been to. Right now there must be 10 or so cities that I'd love to be staying in. Buenos Aires and Berlin are up there near the top, but they're strange places to be daydreaming about when you're supposed to be exploring Tehran.
It's basically a giant case of FOMO – fear of missing out. It afflicts me constantly when I'm on the road.
I always fear missing out on the good life in Western Europe, the ease of travel there and the amazing sights, the great food. But when I'm there living that good life, eating the pasta and drinking the wine, I fear I'm missing out on all the craziness of Asia and the stories that travelling there brings, or the huge landscapes and rugged adventure of somewhere in Africa. And vice versa.
What all of this adds up to is a potential failure to appreciate the place I'm in right now, what I'm doing at the present moment. (Strap yourselves in people, this is about to get a little self-helpie.)
But what's the point of paying to go somewhere amazing if you're just going to spend your time wishing you were somewhere else? There is no point. So occasionally it might take an effort of will, but you have to ignore those nagging feelings of daydreaming about somewhere else and just have the best freakin' time you can in the place you've wound up in.
I've managed that in Iran. I've found you can look forward to Burma and Australia while still concentrating on the bazaars and the mosques and the friendly people who just want to know where you're from and what you think of their country. You just have to tuck the thoughts of elsewhere away for some quiet moment. Keep them at bay.
After all, next week I'll almost certainly be wishing I was back in Iran.
Do you ever find yourself thinking about other destinations while you're on the road? Or always wanting to be somewhere else? How do you fight it? Comment below.

Edwin Escobar Rumors
Red Sox Notes: Lester, Dodgers, Miller
"There's a growing expectation from rival execs that Jon Lester is going to be traded before [the July] deadline," ESPN's Buster Olney reports (Twitter link), and the Dodgers are seen as the likeliest candidate to add the Red Sox left-hander. Los Angeles has shown interest in Lester, though there were conflicting reports yesterday about whether the two sides had actually seriously discussed a trade.
Here's some more news surrounding the defending World Series champs…
- The Royals, Dodgers and Nationals are the latest known suitors for reliever Andrew Miller, according to ESPN Boston's Gordon Edes and Peter Gammons of GammonsDaily.com. (Edes reported the Royals' interest while Gammons reported on the two NL teams.) Boston is known to be shopping Miller, with the Braves and Pirates also amongst the clubs checking in on the lefty. Miller has posted an outstanding 2.45 ERA, 14.5 K/9 and 5.0 K/BB ratio over 40 1/3 relief innings for the Sox this season.
- Also from Gammons, several other teams were interested in Edwin Escobar and Heath Hembree, the two ex-Giants prospects obtained by the Red Sox in the Jake Peavy trade. Two different rival executives told Gammons they tried to get Hembree as a future set-up man, while Escobar's stock was higher before he began his tough season at Triple-A.
- In a piece full of notes and observations about the Red Sox, Peter Abraham of the Boston Globe is baffled that Lester and the Sox seemed so mutually interested in a contract extension yet now Lester could be a trade candidate. "Why the Sox seem almost eager to chase away one of their cornerstone players is a mystery," Abraham writes, predicting that if Lester hits the open market, he'll sign elsewhere since another teams will spend big for the southpaw.
- Also from Abraham, he opines that the Red Sox should extend Miller rather than trade him, stay away from Matt Kemp in any trade talks with the Dodgers and release struggling reliever Edward Mujica.

Giants Acquire Edwin Escobar From Rangers
The Rangers have completed a trade for Ben Snyder by sending Edwin Escobar to the Giants, according to a team press release.
Snyder was selected from San Francisco by the Orioles in last year's Rule 5 draft, then immediately dealt to the Rangers as part of the Kevin Millwood-Chris Ray trade. Snyder did not make Texas' opening day roster and was offered back to the Giants, but the Rangers had hoped to work out a deal that would allow them to retain the left-hander. The two sides completed the transaction by sending Escobar, another lefty, from Texas to San Francisco.
The 24-year-old Snyder posted a 2.88 ERA in 97 innings for the Giants' Double A affiliate in 2009, and has been assigned outright to the Rangers' Double A affiliate.
Escobar, meanwhile, turns 18 this month, and has yet to pitch above rookie ball. The Venezuelan left-hander, a relative of Alcides Escobar and Kelvim Escobar, was signed by the Rangers in 2008.

Will 3 Car Seats Fit in Our Car?
Started by Divine Mother , Dec 10 2012 12:39 PM
5 replies to this topic
Posted 10 December 2012 - 12:39 PM
Hi Everyone,
I am pregnant with no 3. We have tried to put 3 car seats in both our cars once before and they didn't fit. When the baby is born we will have a 2 year old, 3 year old and the newborn. Just wondering if any one knows if 3 car seats will fit in either of the following cars;
2006 Ford Fairmont Bf Mkii Fi Sedan
2000 Nissan Pulsar N15 Hatch
Posted 10 December 2012 - 01:20 PM
Not all seats are the same.
The meridian is 50cm wide whereas the Compaq is 45cm wide. It is also the combination of seats and how they puzzle together.
I would probably look at te new SNS compaq foe bubs and 2yo and the New MaxiRider T&A ( make sure it is the new one... The old maxi rider is very wide).
Infa secure Neon and maci cosi complete air are also narrow seats.
Eta reading the sticky of three across success stories can give you ideas.
Hipod Senator is also slim.
Edited by lsolaBella, 10 December 2012 - 01:24 PM.
Posted 10 December 2012 - 03:53 PM
An alternative to the Compaq is one of the other Safe N Sound convertibles - the Haven, Trojan, Guardian, Safeguard etc. They have the same shell as the Compaq, but have a different base, which makes them 5cm shorter. I bought a Compaq recently and found it too tall to use FF in my car (we have 3 across too). I could hardly see out the rear window, so I returned it. I'm getting a Trojan instead (on sale this week at Target).
You may find you can fit 3 in your Pulsar while they are all in convertible seats, but it might be impossible when you need to use a booster and need access to the seatbelt.
Posted 10 December 2012 - 04:02 PM
The compaq is tall but that allows for hands to do up booster seat belts for me.
The Lifestyle is another version if the compaq but it dors not have the easy adjust feature.
Posted 21 December 2012 - 08:04 PM
We had newborn, 21mo and 3.5 yo in the following combo in my VW Golf, Honda CRV, Toyota Corolla older model:
SNS capsule
Babylove Prelude
Babylove Prelude
I would be surprised if this combo didn't fit in the Pulsar.
Once the oldest was big enough for a booster, we changed to this combo:
Babylove Prelude
Babylove Prelude
SNS Hi-liner
Now kids are 3.5, 5.5 and 7yo, we have this:
SNS Hi-liner
Babylove Prelude
SNS Hi-liner
Posted 08 August 2013 - 09:11 AM
Thank you everyone for your suggestions. We ended up getting a Ford Territory, which fits 2 car seats and a capsule

History of St. Petersburg Museum: Rumyantsev Mansion
By Sarah Karush
Staff Writer
Published: September 8, 2000 (Issue # 601)
MOSCOW - In a large-scale operation involving armored vehicles and helicopters, federal forces arrested Ruslan Alik hadzhiyev, the speaker of the Che chen parliament, at his home in Shali in broad daylight more than three months ago.
What happened to him after that is a mystery. The authorities say he is not in custody and they have no record of his arrest. But Chechen President Aslan Mas kha dov says he knows exactly where Alik hadzhiyev is - dead in Moscow's Lefortovo jail.
Saturday's announcement by Mask ha dov's press service, which claims Alik hadzhiyev was tortured to death, has attracted the attention of the media, human-rights watchdogs and Chechnya's newly elected deputy in parliament. But the Federal Security Service, or FSB, which operates Lefortovo, continued to deny this week that it is holding Alikhadzhiyev.
Disappearing in federal custody is nothing new for residents of Chechnya. The human-rights organization Memorial estimates that federal authorities have held thousands of Chechens for weeks or months without notifying relatives. Often, bodies are only found later.
But Alikhadzhiyev's case is striking because he is a political figure of moderate fame and was arrested in an operation that nobody tried to keep secret.
On the morning of May 17, federal forces arrived by armored vehicle, accompanied by helicopters, at Alik had zhi yev's house, the Chechen parliament speaker's cousin Visark Dombayev said in a telephone interview from his Mos cow hotel room Tuesday.
Dombayev, who lives across the street from Alikhadzhiyev and witnessed the arrest, said Alikhadzhiyev did not resist.
Dombayev's account matched one provided by the newspaper Kommersant on May 23.
On May 25, Col. Gen. Valery Ma ni lov, deputy chief of the General Staff, confirmed the arrest, off-handedly including Alikhadzhiyev's name in a list of prominent rebels taken prisoner that he ticked off at a briefing.
But in the following months, the record of Alikhadzhiyev's arrest somehow disappeared. State Duma Deputy Sergei Kovalyov sent an official inquiry about Alik had zhiyev to federal prosecutors in Chechnya. In late July, a deputy prosecutor, V.A. Russkikh, sent an answer, a copy of which was provided to The St. Petersburg Times: Alikhadzhiyev was not in federal custody and had never been arrested.
This week, Alikhadzhiyev's name surfaced again when Maskhadov's representatives declared that he was tortured to death in the Lefortovo jail.

In a letter to new GAC chair Thomas Schneider today, ICANN chair Steve Crocker took issue with the fact that the GAC recently advised the board to cut the GNSO from a policy-making decision.
The letter kick-starts a formal "Consultation Procedure" in which the board and GAC try to reconcile their differences.
It's only the second time, I believe, that this kind of procedure — which has been alluded to in the ICANN bylaws since the early days of the organization — has been invoked by the board.
The first time was in 2010, when the board initiated a consultation with the GAC when they disagreed about approval of the .xxx gTLD.
It was all a bit slapdash back then, but the procedure has since been formalized somewhat into a seven-step process that Crocker outlined in an attachment to his letter (pdf) today.
The actual substance of the disagreement is a bit "inside baseball", relating to the long-running (embarrassing, time-wasting) saga over protection for Red Cross/Red Crescent names in new gTLDs.
Back in June at the ICANN 50 public meeting in London, the GAC issued advice stating:
the protections due to the Red Cross and Red Crescent terms and names should not be subjected to, or conditioned upon, a policy development process
A Policy Development Process is the mechanism through which the multi-stakeholder GNSO creates new ICANN policies. Generally, a PDP takes a really long time.
The GNSO had already finished a PDP that granted protection to the names of the Red Cross and Red Crescent in multiple scripts across all new gTLDs, but the GAC suddenly decided earlier this year that it wanted the names of 189 national Red Cross organizations protected too.
And it wasn't prepared to wait for another PDP to get it.
So, in its haste to get its changing RC/RC demands met by ICANN, the GAC basically told ICANN's board to ignore the GNSO.
That was obviously totally uncool — a slap in the face for the rest of the ICANN community and a bit of an admission that the GAC doesn't like to play nicely in a multi-stakeholder context.
But it would also be, Crocker told Schneider today, a violation of ICANN's bylaws:
The Board has concerns about the advice in the London Communiqué because it appears to be inconsistent with the framework established in the Bylaws granting the GNSO authority to recommend consensus policies to the Board, and the Board to appropriately act upon policies developed through the bottom-up consensus policy developed by the GNSO.
Now that Crocker has formally initiated the Consultation Procedure, the process now calls for a series of written and face-to-face interactions that could last as long as six months.
While the GAC may not be getting the speedy resolution it so wanted, the ICANN board's New gTLD Program Committee has nevertheless already voted to give the Red Cross and Red Crescent the additional protections the GAC wanted, albeit only on a temporary basis.
.sucks domains "will not be $25k"
Vox Populi Registry, which won the auction for the .sucks new gTLD last week, says its Sunrise prices will not be $25,000 a year after all.
The company has further denied that its general availability prices will be $300 a year.
As DI reported earlier today, the Momentous affiliate beat off competition from Donuts and Top Level Spectrum to win the .sucks contention set.
We reported it was likely to be controversial due to the high prices Vox Populi had previously revealed.
But CEO John Berard, while neither confirming or denying that Vox Populi won the auction, told DI tonight that the company has had a rethink of its pricing strategy.
"We are considering something much more in line with current pricing practices," he said.
While Berard would not discuss numbers, current pricing practices among new gTLDs tend to be in the $10 to $150 range for GA names and a few hundred for Sunrise registrations.
That's a far cry from the $25,000 a year Sunrise fee the registry hopeful aired last December.
Berard added that .sucks under Vox Populi would have additional rights protection mechanisms beyond the mandatory set all new gTLDs must carry, but he could not yet provide specifics.
My criticisms of the company's .sucks have been concerned entirely with its pricing, which I thought would bring the industry into disrepute. If its proposed fees have been lowered, that can only be a good thing.
Momentous pays over $3 million for .sucks
Momentous Corp, whose .sucks application has been branded "predatory", has won the three-way contention set for the new gTLD, according to sources with knowledge of the auction.
The company paid over $3 million for the string, one source said.
Momentous affiliate Vox Populi Registry beat Donuts and Top Level Spectrum, the other applicants, at a private auction I gather was managed by Applicant Auction.
It's likely to be a controversial win.
Vox Populi has said it plans to charge $25,000 per year for a single Sunrise registration, leading some (myself included) to believe its business model is to exploit the fears of brand owners.
(UPDATE: The company has changed its mind about pricing. It says it won't charge $25,000 after all.)
In March, US Senator Jay Rockefeller branded the plan nothing more than a "predatory shakedown scheme" with "no socially redeeming value".
But the company's CEO, John Berard, told DI last year that .sucks will be an "innovative part of customer service, retention and loyalty".
Vox Populi is positioning .sucks as a customer feedback tool that companies can budget alongside other pricey items such as retaining a PR agency, for example.
The registry plans to have strict rules against cyber-bullying. The proposed $300-a-year general availability price tag is likely to keep it out of the hands of most schoolyard bullies.
There will also be a "zero tolerance" policy toward parked domains and pornography, according to its web site.
That's unlikely to calm the concerns of trademark owners, however.
.sucks is a gTLD that many advisers have been characterizing as a "must-have" for companies worried about their online image, rather like .xxx was a few years ago.
Vox Populi started accepting Sunrise pre-registrations for $2,500 on its web site last December, but that offer does not appear to be still available.
.wine applicants changing tune on geo protection?
Aggressive lobbying of ICANN by the wine-making industries on both sides of the Atlantic may be about to bear fruit.
Applicants for .wine and .vin are talking to the organization about providing special protection for a list of "geographic indicator" terms, according to CEO Fadi Chehade.
In a letter to French secretary of state for digital Axelle Lemaire published last week, Chehade said:
The parties involved are now working on devising a mechanism which would offer protections to a reserved list of names, which would be contractually protected through ICANN's registry agreement, along with a set of rules around how those names could be distributed to parties that have interests in and the rights to them. Once they are finalized, ICANN would be charged with monitoring and ensuring compliance with these commitments.
While the details have not yet been revealed, this appears to be what wine makers have been looking for.
GIs are terms such as "Napa Valley" and "Champagne". While they are protected under various national and international laws, they don't enjoy the same degree of global recognition as trademarks.
They do not qualify for inclusion in the Trademark Clearinghouse, so would not automatically be protected when .wine and .vin launch.
ICANN's Governmental Advisory Committee was unable to reach consensus on what should be done about GIs. European countries wanted protections, but the US, Canada and Australia were against the idea.
Wine makers presented a pretty unified front, however, even when they did not benefit from the support of their own governments.
Industry groups and the European Commission had separately started Cooperative Engagement Processes with ICANN — a prelude to filing Independent Review Process complaints.
These CEPs are evidently what kick-started the current negotiations.
There are three applicants for .wine — Donuts, Famous Four and Afilias. Only Donuts has applied for .vin.
Donuts declined to comment on the talks referred to in the Chehade letter.
DreamHost hit with big breach notice
DreamHost, a web hosting provider which says it hosts over 1.3 million web sites, has been hit with a lengthy ICANN compliance notice, largely concerning alleged Whois failures.
The breach notice raises questions about the company's popular free Whois privacy service.
Chiefly, DreamHost has failed to demonstrate that it properly investigates Whois inaccuracy complaints, as required by the Registrar Accreditation Agreement, according to ICANN.
The notice contains numerous other complaints about alleged failures to publish information about renewal fees, its directors and abuse contacts on its web site.
The domain highlighted by ICANN in relation to the Whois failure is senect.com
ICANN sent three compliance notices to DreamHost concerning a Whois inaccuracy report for the domain name
and requested DreamHost demonstrate that it took reasonable steps to investigate the Whois inaccuracy claims. DreamHost's failure to provide documentation demonstrating the reasonable steps it took to investigate and correct the alleged Whois inaccuracy is a breach of Section 3.7.8 of the RAA.
Weirdly, senect.com has been under private registration at DreamHost since the start of 2012.
ICANN seems to be asking the registrar to investigate itself in this case.
DreamHost offers private registration to its customers for free. It populates the Whois with proxy contact information and the registrant name "A Happy DreamHost Customer".
DomainTools associates "A Happy DreamHost Customer" with over 710,000 domain names.
As an accredited registrar, DreamHost had over 822,000 gTLD domain names at the last count. According to its web site, it has over 400,000 customers.
The breach notice also demands the company immediately start including the real contact information for its privacy/proxy customers in its data escrow deposits.
ICANN has given the company until November 21 to resolve a laundry list of alleged RAA breaches, or risk losing its accreditation.

Fedders Corporation, a leading global manufacturer of air treatment products, including air-conditioners, air cleaners, dehumidifiers and humidifiers, and thermal technology products, reported record sales of U.S. $421.7 million for the fiscal year ended Aug. 31, 2003, compared to $373.7 million in the prior fiscal year. The 12.8-increase increase in revenue was the result of increased sales of air-conditioning products globally.
Sales in the HVAC/R reporting segment grew 14.9 percent for the 2003 fiscal year to $382.2 million from $332.7 million in the prior-year period. Sales in the Engineered Products reporting segment decreased 3.6 percent for the 2003 fiscal year to $39.5 million from $41.0 million in fiscal 2002 due to weak demand in the capital equipment market for commercial and industrial air filtration products.
For the full 2003 fiscal year, consolidated gross profit was $92.6 million or 22.0 percent of sales, compared to $83.0 million or 22.2 percent of sales in fiscal 2002. Gross profit and margin percentage in 2003 were affected by the loss of overhead absorption in Engineered Products production facilities due to lower production and sales and by costs within the HVACR segment related to the movement of additional high-volume production to Asia and start-up expenses related to supporting the introduction of new products globally.
Sales in the 2003 fourth quarter grew 27.3 percent to $116.9 million from $91.8 million in the prior-year quarter. Worldwide HVACR sales in the fourth quarter grew 31.1 percent to $107.5 million from $82.0 million in the prior-year quarter. Engineered Products sales in the fourth quarter were $9.4 million compared to $9.8 million in the prior-year quarter.
Gross profit in the 2003 fourth quarter was $24.8 million or 21.2 percent of sales, compared to $18.6 million or 20.3 percent of sales in the prior-year period. Operating income for the quarter was $9.7 million compared to $3.3 million in the prior year.

Chief justice favours voting right for Pakistanis abroad
Publication Date : 31-10-2012
Pakistan's Chief Justice Iftikhar Mohammad Chaudhry has suggested that citizens of the country living abroad should be given the right to vote.
"Prima facie we are of the opinion that they (overseas Pakistanis) should be given the right of franchise," he said while heading a two-judge bench that had taken up a petition of Pakistan Tehrik-i-Insaaf chief Imran Khan for granting voting right to the Pakistanis living abroad.
The overseas Pakistanis shed blood and sweat to earn foreign exchange for the country, the chief justice observed and said that 24 to 25 countries had granted the right to their citizens living abroad through a system of postal ballots.
Advocate Waqar Rana, who appeared in the absence of Hamid Khan, the main counsel for Imran Khan, recalled that at the last hearing the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) had assured the court of submitting proposals to grant the right to overseas Pakistanis after consulting the federal government.
But no-one from the commission was there on Tuesday to say something about the latest situation in this regard.
"They have gone to celebrate Eid," the court said. It observed that it failed to understand why the counsel was not showing interest in the matter.
But, the CJ expressed the hope that modalities would soon be evolved to let the Pakistanis living abroad take part in the general election in a transparent manner because the elections were just round the corner.
During the proceedings on January 24, the ECP had told the court that the task of granting voting right to overseas Pakistanis seemed arduous because they numbered eight million and lived in different countries.
The National Database and Registration Authority (Nadra) had stated that it had issued 4.4 million national identity cards to overseas Pakistanis (NICOPs), living in 20 countries. An official said the authority had registered over 1.5 million people in Saudi Arabia, 1.3 million in UAE, 829,080 in UK, 197,540 in US, 19,465 in Germany and 150,020 in Canada.
The figure of 4.4 million did not include the people who had gone abroad from Azad Jammu and Kashmir and Gilgit-Baltistan, the official said.
Out of the 4.4 million, 3.7 million were men and 612,830 women, he said.
