Transend Networks transports high voltage electricity from power stations to substations around the island of Tasmania, Australia's southernmost state. The company also provides specialist communications services to other members of the Tasmanian electricity supply industry and other external customers.
Support for Virtualization and Cloud Computing
High network availability is vitally important to Transend, and the company has always ensured that it is well protected 24/7. For 11 years, McAfee® products have been at the forefront of the company's security arsenal, with anti-virus software protecting its endpoints and intrusion prevention systems safeguarding its networks.
Transend knows that today's protection is tomorrow's vulnerability, and the company constantly keeps its security munitions up to date. Transend understands the importance of keeping the network itself technologically current, taking advantage of recent developments in fields such as cloud computing and virtualization. In the past few years, Transend has embraced cloud computing in a major way for cost-effective high availability. The company set up a pair of totally redundant data centers in the private cloud, either of which can be switched on at a moment's notice to provide service to the firm's corporate network. Complete redundancy helps achieve high availability. Redundancy and failover capabilities also make upgrading easier because the company can upgrade one data center and verify that it is working properly before upgrading the second, knowing that in the event of issues with the new device, it can always automatically switch to the old one in the other data center. Transend was the first company in Tasmania to fully virtualize its infrastructure, a move that brought substantial cost savings and flexibility advantages in meeting availability requirements.
When the firm introduces new technology, it must maintain the necessary level of security against cyberattacks. As the firm's IT Security Engineer Andrew Bain explains, "Staying at the cutting edge with our network architecture requires security solutions that are equally in tune with technology and fit well with the advances we have made," he says. "McAfee is one of the very few vendors that provides the virtual appliances we need for reaping the full benefits of our virtualized infrastructure. For example, we are in the process right now of replacing our old web gateways with McAfee Web Gateway devices, which are the only such products we could find that can work as virtualized appliances. That allows us to easily move them around as needed in the cloud, which means we only need one virtual device instead of two physical appliances. It also allows us flexibilities such as turning scanning on or off on the fly." The McAfee solution ensures that Transend has the protection, speed, and agility it needs to enhance business operations.
Optimal McAfee Network Security Platform Configuration from McAfee Professional Services
Concern for implementing state-of-the-art technology also drives Transend to stay completely current with its network intrusion prevention. The company is now on its third generation of the McAfee intrusion prevention system (IPS), McAfee Network Security Platform.
Transend's upgrade to McAfee Security Platform was driven, once again, by technological advances in its corporate IT infrastructure. "We had moved into the virtual world and [had] seen the benefits at the server level for virtualization, so we wanted to keep up to date with that at the physical layer," Bain states. "Also, we had moved to faster networks and wanted devices that were capable of gigabit speeds. McAfee Network Security Platforms fit the bill perfectly."
Transend deployed two McAfee Network Security Platform appliances, again, one per data center. To optimize the configuration, the firm engaged McAfee Professional Services. "We find that if we get a vendor to assist with an installation, it makes support that much easier," Bain explains. "That way the devices are configured the way the vendor expects them to be. The only catch is that sometimes vendors wind up taking their knowledge away with them, leaving our technical staff poorly equipped to deal with issues. But that was not the case with McAfee Professional Services. We are very happy with the documentation our McAfee consultants delivered at the end of the project, and we plan to continue using them to help with upgrades in the future."
Staying at the cutting edge with our network architecture requires security solutions that are equally in tune with technology and fit well with the advances we have made. McAfee is one of the very few vendors that provide the virtual appliances we need.Andrew Bain

Protection at the Technological Edge
While McAfee Network Security Platform and McAfee Web Gateway do an excellent job of blocking many sources of malware, there is another source that skirts these layers—USB sticks that users plug into their endpoints. For this, Transend relies on its McAfee Total Protection for Endpoint suite. "From a pure security standpoint, we would like to ban USB sticks since they are responsible for 60 percent of the malware entering our network, but that is just not practical. They enable the business," states Bain. "Fortunately, the strong, up-to-date protection we get from McAfee Total Protection for Endpoint keeps the problem in check."
One step Transend recently took to keep that protection current was to add McAfee Host Intrusion Prevention to its McAfee Total Protection for Endpoint Suite. "We are very happy with the extra security that it provides for our users, especially the increased protection against zero-day vulnerability," reports Bain. "Zero-day vulnerability is probably our number one security concern, and, fortunately, McAfee does a lot to allay our concerns. We really like Artemis [McAfee Global Threat Intelligence] technology because with it our protection is no longer 48 hours old. With Artemis [McAfee Global Threat Intelligence], if McAfee knows about a threat and has protection from it, then we have protection from it too."
Fear of emerging, previously unknown sources of malware has driven Transend to favor whitelisting over blacklisting as a general approach to security. "Fortunately McAfee sees it the same way we do with its McAfee Application Control product," Bain continues. "Artemis [McAfee Global Threat Intelligence] is all well and good for machines that have Internet access, but we have dedicatedpurpose computers in the field that do not. Nothing is supposed to change on them for decades. We think McAfee Application Control is a good way to make sure nothing does, and so we are testing the product right now for possible deployment."
More Dimensions of Staying Completely Up to Date
Transend knows that attaining high availability 24/7 means more than having the right security products. It also means having support available without delay any time it is needed—and McAfee comes through in full on that front too. "It is a great comfort knowing we can pick up the phone at any time of the day or night and have immediate access to high quality technical help," Bain lauds. "We also have good relationships with our product managers at McAfee."
Staying technologically up to date has yet another dimension, as Bain explains: "We like to stay current on operating systems and applications, which right now means things like Microsoft Windows 7 and Microsoft Office 2000. It is frustrating when security vendors say we cannot do that because they do not provide support yet. Fortunately, that is not something we have to worry about with McAfee."
We always do thorough research and pick whatever is best for our network, but it generally turns out that McAfee products are best for our network. Whenever we have a new security need, McAfee is a pretty easy choice.Andrew Bain
IT Security Engineer, Transend Networks
Cost Savings in Many Ways
Without a doubt, Transend's virtualized, cloudbased IT infrastructure is a big cost saver, and McAfee support for these technologies is a key enabler. McAfee also helps keep costs low for the firm by centralizing management of all its security products from one console, McAfee ePO software. "I have been using [McAfee] ePO for so long now that I almost take it for granted," says Bain. "In fact, I went into a meeting recently where someone had to remind me that it is possible to manage desktop anti-virus without [McAfee] ePO. I was scared to think that one could or one would, but I guess some people do. [McAfee] ePO does so much for us, not just in managing protection but in keeping it current by performing incremental updates.
"We have an excellent relationship with McAfee in every respect," Bain summarizes in closing. "Both the people and the products keep coming through for us, helping us stay ahead of the game in protection and in IT infrastructure. We do not just automatically keep choosing McAfee. We always do thorough research and pick whatever is best for our network, but it generally turns out that McAfee products are best for our network. Whenever we have a new security need, McAfee is a pretty easy choice."
Owner and operator of the electricity transmission system in Australia's state of Tasmania
Transend's corporate network is completely virtual. It consists of two identical, fully redundant data centers in which physical servers host virtual servers in the cloud that serve 600 endpoints.
Maintaining a high-availability network 24/7 is critically important to Transend

Old Time Radio Downloads > Adventure > Journey To The Center Of The Earth
Dr. Von Hardwigg, the star of the show, had discovered a manuscript that says one can see the center of the earth by "following volcanic tubes in the crater of a volcano in Iceland". Thus, the story revolves around his adventure along with his nephew, Harry, who accompanied him on his quest, and Hans, his guide in the volcanoes of Iceland. Their adventure, as narrated from the point of view of Harry, involves not only the travels, but also their crazy encounter with natural hazards and prehistoric animals.
It was later clarified by Verne, the author, that he is not attempting a new theory (there was not so much information about Earth's core then), but rather, the show was a pure product of his imagination.

WHile actively tanking something we campare nicely, given that for the most part most tanking classes have few abilites with a large amount of baked in threat, DPS=TPS, so using something like stateofdps.com, you can see that warriors are not really very far behind, if we're behind. Usually the only thing that lets us down is if what were tanking is hitting as softly as a butterfly, or as slow as continental drift, in which case Rage starvation happens.

Market-Leader in SDXC. Add Portable USB Storage.
Consumers expect their phones and tablets to support all available standards. The most popular mobile operating systems such as Android may include only free-of-charge, open source file systems, with no patent licenses. Manufacturers have to source technically complex, IP intensive components from third parties. Tuxera has taken the leadership in file system standards, and supplies its file system solutions for Android and a number of proprietary mobile platforms. Tuxera's main offerings for phones and tablets are:
- exFAT is needed for SD card reader interface, which is typically removable on both tablets and phones. exFAT is must have if users attach the latest 64 GB or higher capacity SDXC memory cards to view pictures, play or record MP3s and videos. The first micro SDXC cards have been released to the markets in 2011.
- NTFS is needed for USB storage. Both phones and tablets include today by default USB. However, it is principally used for charging. With Tuxera software manufacturers can unleash the potential for universal portable storage over USB. NTFS is must have if users attach a Windows-formatted portable hard drives and want to play MP3s and videos from them.
- FAT is needed for both USB portable hard drives and SD memory cards up to 32 GB. It is the old standard but still widely used. If manufacturers license Microsoft's FAT patents, they cannot use open source GPLed FAT.

F. H. W. Sheppard (General Editor)
This, the third of the Survey's four volumes devoted to Kensington, describes the southernmost part of the old parish, covering both sides of Brompton Road and then continuing westward between Old Brompton Road and Fulham Road as far as Brompton Cemetery. Renowned in the seventeenth century for the nurseries and market gardens of old Brompton, and the isolated genteel settlement of 'Little Chelsea' in Fulham Road, this area was by the time of the Survey's study in 1983 a characteristic inner west London mix of well-to-do residences, exuberant shops, and streets of humbler but up-and-coming houses. The volume contains some notable set-pieces, such as Harrods, the Oratory, the Brompton Hospital and Brompton Cemetery (each of which is described in detail); but its main subject is the building-over of the various estates here from the early 1800s with streets, crescents and squares of houses, each demonstrative of their period — such as the urbane Regency-style stucco of Pelham and Egerton Crescents of the 1830s and '40s, the rich classicism of The Boltons of the 1850s, and the High Victorian mix of styles in Redcliffe Square and surrounding streets of the 1860s and '70s.

HUNTINGTON, Ind. - Huntington University Bowling Coach Jim Bischoff has added another blue chip recruit to his 2013-14 roster with the signing of Logansport High School standout Derek Beckler.
Beckler has earned quite the reputation around the state, having averaged 218 this past season for the Berries to finish with the eighth highest average among Indiana high school bowlers. As a junior, the right-hander finished 16th as an individual in the State finals and followed up by qualifying for Semi-State this past February.
His team's MVP the last two seasons, Beckler helped guide his squad to Regionals and a share of the NCC conference title in his final campaign in red and black. The Logansport native has rolled two perfect games.

The TL/DR I can give you is what is going around in the community for prot wars. The first goal is to get your dodge/parry/block to total 75%. With those %'s when you hit Shield Block you will for 10secs not take a hit from a mob for full value(discount armor mitigation). To gemming, the common gem for at least now to get through heroics and early raids are.. BLUE: 60stm, Yellow: 20 mast, 30 STM, Red: 20 parry, 30 stm.
As to Hit/Expertise... having it is nice but alot of the entry gear has one or the other. Most people are using these stats to reforge into mastery to get their block % up. Personally, I just let this go down as far as I could comfortably maintain threat on single target.
The soft caps for these if your interested are 8% hit, and 26 Expertise. You'll not want more then that as the excess would be better spent or reforged into survivability stats.

Rex on Johnson: He's No Secret, a Little ScaryPosted by on December 14, 2012 – 4:57 pm
There may be a perception among NFL watchers and fantasy players that Chris Johnson is having a down year. But then again, everything after his 2,006-yard sophomore season as the Titans' tailback would pale in comparison.
But CJ2K also is making a comeback of sorts. He's already cleared 1,000 rushing yards for the fifth time in five seasons and his 4.7 yards per rush are his best since his 5.6 in 2009.
"He's still one of the leading rushers in the league," Jets head coach Rex Ryan said today. "He's a dangerous guy. He's somebody, every time he touches it, you hold your breath. He's that kind of athlete, so a dropoff in play? I don't know. I don't necessarily see it because he's the same explosive guy to me on tape. You don't get a whole lot of sleep worrying about this guy, that's for sure. He's a great player. Obviously, everybody knows about him. He's no secret.
"I think when he first got into the league, you weren't necessarily that sure. You saw a guy, 'Hey, he's a little undersized for a running back,' and then he's blowing by you and 'Oh, man.' You can say a guy is fast, you can read the numbers, but when you see it on the field, it's happening right in front of you, it's a little scary. I saw it first-hand several times when we played against him here but also in Baltimore."
Actually, Ryan defenses have done pretty well against Johnson. In '08, Rex's last year with the Ravens, Johnson had 44 yards on 18 carries. The next year vs. the Jets, he had 97 yards on 22 carries. But the Titans lost both of those games.
However, while the Jets have improved in many areas and rankings on defense, is this year's run defense improved as well? The Jets are still ranked 29th in rush yards allowed per game, not a good omen against Johnson and running QB Jake Locker. Ryan said, "I think our run defense has definitely improved," but he was clearly unhappy with yielding that untouched 32-yard TD jaunt by Montell Owens at Jacksonville.
Yet one ranking that isn't mentioned a lot is opponents' rush yards per carry. The Jets after five games were allowing 4.9 yards per carry, 29th in the league. In the last eight games, the average is 4.0, which has improved their league ranking to 19th.
It will have to be good enough. As Ryan said, this week vs. Tennessee "is a bit of a challenge."
Tebow Upon Further Review
One day after Rex Ryan said he didn't see Tim Tebow Wildcatting and personal protecting on Monday night at Tennessee due to his still sore ribs, the Jets coach saw enough improvement at Thursday's practice to put all the familiar TT roles back on the table today.
"I was just adamant about, well, there will be no Wildcat, but I'm like, he may be able to go back to similar roles," Ryan said at today's news conference. "He's always been cleared to play, but as good as he looked to me, I don't want to rule that out for the simple fact that this is as good as he's looked in several weeks."
Tebow, holding rare back-to-back locker room news conferences (he normally talks to reporters Wednesday and Friday, but before the Monday night game, Thursday was the new Wednesday this week), was encouraged.
"I try to go out there and compete like any other practice. I'm glad he felt good about it and thought highly," Tebow said, adding about getting ready for game contact for the first time since Nov. 18 at St. Louis, "I'll be ready for that first hit … I think I will be."
So the 'Cat is back in the game plan? "I guess," Tebow said, "it could be considered."
Cynics might say this is all a ploy to make sure Tennessee is spending extra time getting ready for the Wildcat when the Jets really aren't planning to run it. Well, maybe, but as Titans coach Mike Munchak said Thursday, "I think it's obviously something we would prepare for anyway."
Friday Injury Picture
Ryan reported today that X-rays on RB Bilal Powell's toe came back negative. Both Powell and LB Bryan Thomas (chest) went from DNPs to limited work in team drills at today's practice at the Atlantic Health Training Center. S LaRon Landry (heel) got his usual mid-practice-week day on the sideline. The rest of the Jets report remained the same as Thursday.
WR Braylon Edwards (hamstring) was limited for a second straight day. Ryan: "We're being cautious there. I'm going to lean on the trainers. We're hopeful he'll be able to go on Monday."
Titans RB Chris Johnson (ankle), who didn't practice Thursday, and T Michael Roos (knee), who was limited, both were full-go at today's practice in Nashville.
One Confusing Facemask
Upon reviewing the video of the Jets' Sunday win at Jacksonville, we wanted set the record straight one more time, primarily because it involved some fans perhaps giving Muhammad Wilkerson a demerit for his latest strong performance when in fact Mo didn't deserve the markdown.
The play was the fourth-quarter penalty on the Jets (their only flag of the game) for grasping the facemask of scrambling Jaguars QB Chad Henne. Referee Al Riveron got the error parade going by announcing, "Personal foul, facemask, No. 96." That's Wilkerson, but No. 98, Quinton Coples, was actually the guilty party, as the CBS slow-mo replay showed.
A referee announcing the wrong number on a penalty isn't a frequent mistake although it happens probably more than you'd think. In this case, 96 and 98 are swarming the QB, Riveron is told the wrong number by the side judge or the head linesman, he reports it to the world.
However, that's when network analyst Solomon Wilcots compounded the error as he spoke over the replay of Coples clearly hooking Henne's mask as Wilkerson was closing ground from the left.
"He was going down anyway," Wilcots said. "Take a look here. Now why'd you have to grab the facemask? There it is right there, Muhammad Wilkerson. Wow."
Wow, indeed.

Wilkerson did have a good game and as for the facemask penalty, Couples number should have been called and not Wilkerson's. As for the defense stopping the running game. I hope that will improve Monday night against the Titans who are playing pretty good right now. But I am still not keen on how MS will perform, I am not an MS fan based on his poor performaces over the last 2 years. As for TT, here we go again with "we are gonna do this, we are gonna do that". TT has not made any significant plays this entire year. Maybe it is because he had "NO" real playing time. That you can blame on Sparano and Rex. I know it will not happen, but if MS does not perform in the 1st quarter I would like to see McElroy in as QB…

Only the most deluded , optimistic fan could entertain the hope that The Jets could do anything in the playoffs , like a real football team . That is if they were able to back in to the playoffs through some miracle charity …We can't even hand off the football in the right direction ..Trully HOPELESS

I would even prefer TT if MS does not perform by the end of the 1st quarter. My preference is McElroy. But, what the heck, who am I but a disappointed JET FAN… LETS GO JETS ON MONDAY NIGHT…

I am so pumped for the fact that Tebow may run the Wildcat. His success both running and passing out of the Wildcat has been tremendose. A vital part of the Jets march to the SB. WAIT! I am afraid i was reading news conferences before the year started. I personally feel that Tebow was lied to and misused this year. I do not think he is or ever will be an NFL QB but he desearved better. It has been talked to death. We need to see what McElroy has. We need to see Rex suck it up and give players a chance to succeed. The goal of a 7-6 win must be replaced by getting at least 24 pts per game. That means if we ever have a lead to keep playing like we are 13 down and 4 minutes to play.

You are absolutely right about Chris Johnson Rex. My question to you is why the NY Jets did not go out of their way in the off season, either through the draft or free agency and try to acquire a back who at least somewhat compares to Johnson? Think about the possibilities that could have been with a competent RB in the mix. Think about the pressure it could have taken off your QB, and God knows he needs that. But yet, RB was not addressed until the 6th round of the draft, and where is that player right now? So, lets just wait and see if it IS addressed this off season. From where I sit, it is as much of a priority as QB

The way Rex is talking here about Johnson is the way he should always be talking, as a guy who knows D, who knows how to scheme on D, and whose opinions on O are only of passing interest. The way he talks about Tebow is the way a guy talks when he has no clue as to how to get a lifeless O started. In other words, Rex should always be talking from the perspective of a DC because that's what he is and should be, on this team or any other. I don't need to watch another snap to know he's not HC material.

One comment about all the concerns about Hill's ability to catch. He is very fast and a good blocker. Being a good blocker means he is able to hit and be hit. Worse case scenerio; he never make it as a #1 or #2 WR. because while he has all the attributes except elite pass catching ability turn him into a DB. Tall, fast, and willing to hit. He "could" be elite at that position.

That's right Rex way to go explain to all your underachievers . How great a RB Chris Johnson is, Last I looked Titans are no Titans, in case you didn't get the memo.. HELLO! Last I looked their record isn't any better than ours How about worrying about getting these so called players ready to play instead of talking up our opposition, and try not to embarrass us and yourself before playing the great Chris Johnson. Remember we have a Johnson here, you should be worried much more about
By Byrdman on Dec 15, 2012 | Reply
The fact that Rex is waffling Friday afternoon on whether to run some Tebow option plays is further evidence that the HC position has overwhelmed Ryan. Listening to a report last week about the Patriots, each player said they know every game plan is opponent specific. Pats players frequently get drilled by BB about the team they're playing that week and if the player's answer is wrong, that player's role may be reduced. Think about that… Great HC's like BB have their players thoroughly "schooled" on the opponents tendencies and weak-links so his team is prepared to exploit them on game day. Do you think it's more likely that the superb players on Baltimore's D made Rex look like a defensive genius, than the other way around?
By GaryC on Dec 15, 2012 | Reply
someone at the presser should of asked Rex was Braylon,surprised after bad mouthing the team that he received a call from the jets,a high fastball question,not those soft ball throws that you hear all the time.

Why the heck does Tebow…2nd string QB..if that…gets a press conference once..or twice a week. THIS IS SUCH A JOKE. insult to us fans. And all the fluff answers…"Just happy to be here" (oh yea for 3 offensive plays a game average)…"Meand Mark are great…work well together"..Yea right. Stopped reading his garbage since week 3…but yet he is still there. And game time..sickeniong…at least..maybe more..8 to 10 shots on the sidelines..no other Jet except Marko sulking. This guy is not NEWS anymore…give it up CBS, FOX.
And Tebow..you should be embarassed to even participate in this garbage…except of course you want the attention and help Woody sell Jerseys.
What a Joke…

"I'd prefer to run the football but that doesn't mean we can't throw it," said Ryan, who said his only objective is to win the game however possible. "If that means we have to throw it 40 times then so be it." It's simply astonishing that Rex, after he, his QB, and his team as a whole have been reduced to the joke of the NFL, still even thinks of saying stuff like this. It's as if it's more important for him to "be himself" than even consider how the game is played these days, much less adjust to it. Come to think of it, that's probably a lot of what's going on with him, considering how much bigger his ego is than his ability…

At least if Saban is hired,he knows how good a quarterback McElroy is,Rex will probably never find out.
By Byrdman on Dec 16, 2012 | Reply
The Nick Saban talk is interesting, clearly Pete Carroll learned a thing or two at USC, and it looks like he's got Seattle headed in the right direction now on his second NFL tour. I heard Saban didn't get along with Miami's GM, the Owner and Front Office wanted to build a different type of team than Nick did. I'm sure Carroll or Saban would not have drafted Sanchez. Pete tried to warn us about Mark's immaturity, and there's NO WAY I could picture Saban choosing a fragile, insecure, china doll like Sanchez to be his field general. I'll bet the locker room, practice field, film study, game prep, and overall discipline would be hard core, more military boot camp under Saban, than the Animal House we see and hear about under Rex Ryan.

As for BB, he is a good coach, but I get sick of all the geniues talk with him. He is overrated, he is a cheat, and he has a loosing career record without Tom Brady.
The tuck rule got him into one SB.

I'll take Saban over Rex in a New Jersey minute, GaryC! Any port in a storm and the storm of Rex's ineptitude — I'm starting to warm to the theory, often voiced here, that his first 2 good seasons had more to do with Mangini than him — must come to an end!

Yeah, Byrdman, I see today that Saban says he's not interested in the pros yet, but what interested me about him is largely what you say, that a coach like that would instill a tough atmosphere which is clearly what this team so badly needs. Rex's palling around with the guys hasn't worked out at all and I wouldn't be surprised if that's part of the conditioning problem as well, the one the Jets brass says they want to study in the off-season. Well, they can study it by hiring a HC who doesn't treat his players like it's always Spring Break. Allan, nice note on the Newtown horror that you wrote here, I thought the whole story of Cruz and the family was very moving.

Amanda Iacone, wtop.com
WASHINGTON - Cardinal Donald Wuerl called the selection of a Latin American pope a historic moment as the Catholic Church tries to reach out to its sprawling flock of 1.2 billion people.
Wuerl, the Archbishop of Washington, was among the cardinals who participated in the conclave that chose Pope Francis, a Jesuit priest who ran the church in Buenos Aires.
"This is the first time in the 2,000-year history of the Catholic Church that we've had a pope from our part of the world. This is the first pope from the Western Hemisphere, from the New World. I can't tell you how thrilling it was to be part of the conclave that elected this man," Wuerl told WTOP in a telephone interview from the Vatican.
Wuerl said he sat next to the future pope as the cardinals celebrated mass Wednesday morning, hours before white smoke billowed out of the Sistine Chapel announcing to the world that a new pope was chosen.
The new pontiff is not one for ceremony, allowing the Thursday morning mass to be delayed because of the late hour the cardinals finished their post-conclave dinner, Wuerl said.
"Which I thought was just so perfect as a sign of his concern, his care for others. He really does come across, even in one-on-one conversation, as a very humble person," Wuerl said.
Wuerl hopes the new pope continues to project the love and care that was a hallmark of Francis' ministry in Buenos Aires. But he will also have to direct a sprawling central administration, Washington's cardinal said.
"I think there was a sense we were looking for someone who would be focused on the mission of the church, the ministry of the church, the gospel message and especially an outreach and care for the poor, for people with needs, many types of needs. He certainly fits that picture," Wuerl said of the conclave's decision.
But the choice of an Argentinean pope also says that the church's focus must be worldwide, Wuerl said.
"This is saying now symbolically at the very top, that the universal church really is interested and involved in and concerned with every part of the globe. And of course there are so many millions, hundreds of millions, of Catholics in South America that it will just highlight all the more the pope's desire to be with them spiritually but also pastorally," he said.

Hooey. The number of "old minis sold for high prices in the secondary market" is trivial. (We see every Ebay auction there is, and several other sites, and we know that the number of ships sold by those means is never close to 10% of the number we sell, and rarely over 5%). And we know, from contacts, that most of those are sold not to people who want the older designs (which, frankly, are NOT higher quality) but people who don't know ADB is back in business.

I'll look on the bright side and just let folks take a stroll thru the old message boards and see for themselves just what was discussed if they are so inclined.
Lots of discussions on how the minis were created, both the old SL2200 and newer SL2400, with a little SL2300 discussion as well. It will give some insight on how things have changed thru the years when it comes to the Miniature line. I hope folks will take a look. It's very eye-opening and relevent this this particular discussion. Stuff that was censored in my posts was discussed openly and frankly back then and not by me.
I sure miss those good old days and my old friends from that time. I wonder what happened to them?

Maybe they'll have better luck figuring out what you're talking about than we did, Mark. We simply cannot find what you say is there, although it is a big topic and a big BBS and we do delete old posts now and then. (We have the largest game publisher BBS in the industry, so there ARE a lot of posts.) Jean and I scaned through thousands of posts and every time we found somebody who said "your minis are awful" we found ten people saying "No, they're just fine" and me saying "Sales dont justify doing what you're asking us to do" and citing the proof that when we did what they wanted (e.g., Fed CC, the improved D7) sales did NOT increase AT ALL. I'll also note that I don't read most of the BBS and if you post "Hey, SVC, I want to do resin minis for you" and don't get an answer, the reason is that I never read the post because I don't read that topic. People who want deals send Email, and if you really wanted to accomplish anything beyond showing people how you behave you'd have emailed me about doing resin minis yesterday. You still can, for that matter, but we both know you don't want to accomplish anything other than DRAMA, so why don't you be dramatic somewhere else? Now, if you want to have an actual grownup discussion, I'm here every morning about 10am Texas Time. As for your old friends that you miss, you and I both know that they are still here, they just don't want to talk to you because of your awful customer service.

Sometimes companies have to make hard choices. The most valuable lessons that SVC has taught me are:
1. Sometimes good enough is where we have to stop.
2. Darn good and on time is better than perfect and very late.
3. You have to think about whether your kewl idea will turn a profit.
We do need to hear constructive criticism from our customers. That means that if there is a problem, you think of how to make it better and make suggestions. You do not slam our sculptors or company officers in public. There is an old adage that you catch more flies with honey than with vinegar and that holds true when dealig with people and companies.
Would I like to catch each and every typographical and factual mistake? Of course I would! But at some point, I have to stop reading a product, hoping I'll catch the problem this time. It hurts my pride every time I see a typo, but it would hurt the company more if I were
It'd be a kewl idea to have dual lines of minis, sort of like the different levels of difficulty some of the larger plastic models have. Would it make the company a higher profit? Probably not. A good modeler can work with a more simplistic model and improve it. I think it would be harder for a person who needed sturdy models to make a more delicate (and perhaps more realistic) model stronger.
But please, let us keep hearing from you. If you notice that a mold has aged in a very bad way, we can investigate and see if we need to do something and if the sales warrant it. Just please remember that we probably cannot make everyone happy and we'll have to settle on making most of the people happy.

I love how the phone is small, but the screen is still large. My carrier is T-mobile and since it is an AT&T phone i had to take it to the T-Mobile store for it to recognize T-Mobile for the data connection but works fine now. Took 2 minutes to fix. Only complaint is that the AT&T apps are downloaded and you cannot delete them. Not a big deal though just takes up space on the menu screen. other then that, great phone.
this phone was as discribe,working fine.i use as a gift and my friend is happy.

the single most abused term in the world of food and cooking
"Many foods and food products labeled as 'gourmet' are actually worthless chemical-laden garbage, and it is utterly misleading to label it with that word, which in all honesty has become meaningless."

adj. Extremely high in price, extremely small in amount, extremely decorative in style and extremely enjoyable. The last part is not always true.
In a gourmet restaurant, it is not unusual to spend an entire moth worth of budget for food on a single meal and still leave the restaurant hungry.

love the blue ones. Just actually bought them for a friend's birthday and wrote happy birthday on each of the jars. Super cute. Have a photo on my blog. xoReplyDelete
These are so cute! I would say to get the other 3 colors so you have an even set of 4. These can be really useful.ReplyDelete
I want them all! But if I had to choose I'd go with yellow or green.ReplyDelete
