The commanders of the German army blame each other for the missing victories. Falkenhayn and Hindenburg both believe that they have the only solution to the problems. The German emperor feels more and more excluded when it comes to military decisions. His soldiers become pieces on a chessboard and the war of the 20th century also takes it's toll on some of the best commanders. The situation at the Western Front stays unaltered: the French and Germans fight each other between the trenches. On the contrary, at the Eastern Front the Russians and the Germans are battling in a heavy fight.

Excavating the trenches of Flanders, 100 years on
In the Telegraph, Tim Rowley reports from Ypres:
In Flanders fields, dozens of men are digging trenches. From dawn to sunset, they force their shovels through the soil, even when the temperature plunges below freezing. When it rains, their clothes cling to their bodies. They were told it would be over by Christmas; now, they are not so sure.
This is Belgium, 2014, and the men are archaeologists, not soldiers – but in one regard their experiences are not so far removed from those of their forebears a century ago. The foes of the Great War have long been reconciled, but the weather is as harsh as ever.
"The cold is not the problem, it's the rain," says Simon Verdegem, one of the 30 archaeologists excavating land touched by only a plough for decades. "By the end of the day, our shoes are full of mud and we can't walk straight because we slip all the time. And, this time, nobody's firing at us."
Verdegem's great uncle fought on these fields 100 years ago. Now the 31-year-old is learning a little of the conditions he had to endure. "The first thing I do when I get home is take a shower and hang my clothes up by the fire. But they didn't have the chance. They had to stay in a water-filled trench. I know how we feel after a day out here in the rain – we're just miserable – and I can't imagine it."
All these years later, Belgium's war wounds have still to heal. In the years following the Armistice 96 years ago today, vast mounds of earth were shovelled into the trenches. In the great cemeteries of Belgium, the row upon row of Portland stone stood as testament to the sacrifice of the men; the authorities were less keen to remember the inglorious squalor to which each side subjected the other.
If only that were so easy. For decades now, Flanders farmers have turned up a deadly harvest of unexploded bombs, shells and grenades. They all know the bomb squad's phone number, and some have reinforced their tractors against explosion.
Yet archaeologists rarely get the chance to mine this rich seam of history. Under European Union regulations, they can only excavate these fields when there is an external threat to the artefacts buried beneath, such as a housing development.
Which is why Verdegem is so excited by this latest dig, the largest-ever excavation of First World War battlefields. Next year, Fluxys, a Belgian energy company, will lay a new £120 million gas pipeline across the country, snaking through 18 miles of land that formed the frontline for four years, as both sides inched from Ypres to Passchendaele then back to Ypres – each time, shuffling just far enough to bury their dead.

QotD: James Brudenell, Earl of Cardigan
The 11th Light Dragoons at this time were newly back from India, where they had been serving since before I was born. They were a fighting regiment, and — I say it without regimental pride, for I never had any, but as a plain matter of fact — probably the finest mounted troops in England, if not in the world. Yet they had been losing officers, since coming home, hand over fist. The reason was James Brudenell, Earl of Cardigan.
You have heard all about him, no doubt. The regimental scandals, the Charge of the Light Brigade, the vanity, stupidity, and extravagance of the man — these things are history. Like most history, they have a fair basis of fact. But I knew him, probably as few other officers knew him, and in turn I found him amusing, frightening, vindictive, charming, and downright dangerous. He was God's own original fool, there's no doubt of that — although he was not to blame for the fiasco at Balaclava; that was Raglan and Airey between them. And he was arrogant as no other man I've ever met, and as sure of his own unshakeable rightness as any man could be — even when his wrongheadedness was there for all to see. That was his great point, the key to his character: he could never be wrong.
They say that at least he was brave. He was not. He was just stupid, too stupid ever to be afraid. Fear is an emotion, and his emotions were all between his knees and his breastbone; they never touched his reason, and he had little enough of that.
For all that, he could never be called a bad soldier. Some human faults are military virtues, like stupidity, and arrogance, and narrow-mindedness. Cardigan blended all three with a passion for detail and accuracy; he was a perfectionist, and the manual of cavalry drill was his Bible. Whatever rested between the covers of that book he could perform, or cause to be performed, with marvellous efficiency, and God help anyone who marred that performance. He would have made a first-class drill sergeant — only a man with a mind capable of such depths of folly could have led six regiments into the Valley at Balaclava.
However, I devote some space to him because he played a not unimportant part in the career of Harry Flashman, and since it is my purpose to show how the Flashman of Tom Brown became the glorious Flashman with four inches in Who's Who and grew markedly worse in the process, I must say that he was a good friend to me. He never understood me, of course, which is not surprising. I took good care not to let him.
George MacDonald Fraser, Flashman, 1969.

It was the tank that won WW2 in the west … and a deathtrap
Last month, Paul Richard Huard did a brief tribute to one of the iconic tanks of the Second World War, the M-4 Sherman. It was not a good tank, but it was good enough (if you ignore the survivability of the crews):
The M-4 Sherman was the workhorse medium tank of the U.S. Army and Marine Corps during World War II. It fought in every theater of operation — North Africa, the Pacific and Europe.
The Sherman was renown for its mechanical reliability, owing to its standardized parts and quality construction on the assembly line. It was roomy, easily repaired, easy to drive. It should have been the ideal tank.
But the Sherman was also a death trap.
Most tanks at the time ran on diesel, a safer and less flammable fuel than gasoline. The Sherman's power plant was a 400-horsepower gas engine that, combined with the ammo on board, could transform the tank into a Hellish inferno after taking a hit.
All it took was a German adversary like the awe-inspiring Tiger tank with its 88-millimeter gun. One round could punch through the Sherman's comparatively thin armor. If they were lucky, the tank's five crew might have seconds to escape before they burned alive.
Hence, the Sherman's grim nickname — Ronson, like the cigarette lighter, because "it lights up the first time, every time."
Commonwealth units were allocated a proportion of Sherman tanks with the original 75mm or 76mm main gun replaced by a British 17-pounder anti-tank gun that gave Sherman Firefly tanks nearly the same punch as German Tiger tanks (and better than Panthers). There weren't enough to go around, so they were parcelled out to allow a few Fireflies per troop or squadron. The 17-pounder gun also lacked a high explosive round for use against thin-skinned or unarmoured targets, so including one or two Fireflies among a group of conventionally armed Shermans was a good trade-off.

In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.
Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.
Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae, MD Canadian Army Medical Corps (1872-1918)

Canadians' ambivalent views on the Canadian Armed Forces
In Maclean's, Jonathon Gatehouse reflects on the reaction of bystanders just after Corporal Nathan Cirillo was shot while standing guard at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in Ottawa, and how Canadians are still uneasy about the role of the military in Canadian society:
They came together with haste and purpose. Three civilians and two members of Canadian Forces, all working frantically to save the life of Cpl. Nathan Cirillo.
In the first minutes after the Hamilton reservist was shot twice at Canada's National War Memorial on Oct. 22, it was passersby who joined in the challenge of trying to staunch the bleeding and keep his heart beating. Photos captured their desperation. A red-headed woman, her legs stretched out across the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, administering artificial respiration while a uniformed man performs CPR. A man in a dark business suit helping to keep the blood where it was needed by holding the kilted Cirillo's bare legs in the air. And two more — a grey-haired lady and a man in an army beret — applying pressure to his wounds. All of them as anonymous as the fallen combatant inside the granite sarcophagus that the soldier was guarding.
A discarded backpack leans against the tomb, next to a Thermos mug of morning coffee. A black attaché case has been tossed to the flagstones. Right beside that lie the two military assault rifles—one belonging to Cirillo, the other his regimental partner—perfectly stacked, stocks tucked tight against the brass foot of the monument. By the book, even though they were never loaded, per standard honour detail practice.
The Canadian public and its military have been out of sync over duties and mission for more than a decade. It is a gap that doesn't make much sense. In the aftermath of 9/11, we have come to venerate first-responders — those who run toward danger — as local police, the RCMP and Parliament Hill security did in their shoot-out with Zehaf-Bibeau. But we remain slightly suspicious of the motives of people who volunteer to serve in the army, navy and air force, as if there is something nobler — and more Canadian — in playing defence than being on the offensive.
The events of the past week illustrate that we live in an age where such distinctions have been rendered meaningless. First the murder of Warrant Officer Patrice Vincent, run down by ersatz jihadi Martin Couture-Rouleau in a shopping mall parking lot in St-Jean-sur-Richelieu, Que. And now the death of Cpl. Cirillo at the hands of another "self-radicalized" fellow citizen. Like it or not, Canada is in this fight, abroad and at home. Facing enemies who don't give credit for past good deeds, and have few, if any scruples about whom they target.
There's a tradition that has sprung up in Ottawa over the past years. After the conclusion of the official Remembrance Day ceremony, members of the public approach the War Memorial, remove the poppy from their lapels, and lay them on the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. It's a small act of respect, and an attempt to connect with our fading, black and white past.
This year will be different. Not just because Nathan Cirillo died at that very spot, but because of what happened in his final moments. When a red-headed lawyer, a grey-haired nurse and a suit-clad government bureaucrat joined with a colonel and a corporal to try and save a soldier's life, a page turned. The sacrifice, in full colour and public view, can't be ignored. Everyone has become a witness. It is part of our present, and our uncomfortable future too.

Reason.tv – 3 Reasons the US MILITARY Should NOT Fight Ebola
Published on 14 Oct 2014
President Obama is sending thousands of U.S. troops to West Africa to fight the deadly Ebola virus. Their mission will be to construct treatment centers and provide medical training to health-care workers in the local communities.
But is it really a good idea to send soldiers to provide this sort of aid?
Here are 3 reasons why militarizing humanitarian aid is a very bad idea

Changes to Canadian Army promotion ladder
On the Army News page, this change in policy was posted on October 8:
This fall, the Canadian Army (CA) will implement an innovative program whereby Combat Arms promotions from Corporal to Master Corporal will be managed at the unit – instead of the national – level. This change, a positive outcome of the CA Renewal effort, is expected to save time and money and help the CA accelerate the progression of its "shining stars."
The drive to work smarter and be more efficient can lead to a fresh examination of why things are done in a certain way. Such a review process may end up standing the status quo on its head, as was the case with Corporal-to-Master Corporal appointments in the Canadian Army (CA) Combat Arms trades.
The CA has four Combat Arms trades: infantry, armoured, artillery, and combat engineers. The majority of the personnel in these trades are privates or corporals located in field units where they perform their baseline jobs.
On the basis that no one knows their soldiers' strengths and leadership qualities better than their own unit, authority to determine which corporals will be promoted to the appointment of Master Corporal is now given to the unit Commanding Officer (CO). The COs will now also be the ones to select soldiers with leadership potential for Primary Leadership Qualification (PLQ) training, which is a pre-cursor to promotion to Master Corporal.
This was achieved by eliminating the requirement to hold National-level promotion boards for Corporals in the Combat Arms. As a result, the CA will save time, reduce paperwork, simplify the selection process, cut back on costly postings and – most importantly – enhance the process of ensuring the right soldier is in the right place at the right time and with the right qualifications.
I can't think of a more ridiculous way of managing the promotion process than managing it directly from the national level. The army sets standards for promotion to each rank nationally, and that makes sense, as soldiers can be detached from their parent unit for particular operations or short-term local requirements, so you want to see a certain level of standardization in training and education to make those detachments work as well as possible. But there's a huge difference between setting standards and actually directly managing the promotions. You could make a case for it with senior NCOs and officers, but for junior ranks that seems an over-abundance of centralization.

Israel's "Battlefield Internet" at work
Strategy Page talks about the Israeli deployment of the first reliable Battlefield Internet for ground, sea, and air combat:
The July-August 2014 war in Gaza created some very unpleasant surprises for Hamas, which thought it could risk another war with Israel and come out the winner (to the Arab world at least). Hamas knew that Israel had been working at discovering and countering Hamas tactics, but Hamas was confident they had enough new tricks to stay ahead of the Israelis. Hamas quickly discovered that the Israelis were a lot quicker and better coordinated than in the past. This time around the Israelis learned more from their earlier clashes with Hamas and Hezbollah.
This has happened before, to both the Israelis but mainly to the Arabs. It was only after that war ended that Hamas learned details of what they were up against. It turned out that Israel had managed to create an effective and reliable "Battlefield Internet". This has been the goal of military communications experts for over a decade. The United States was long the leader, but in mid-2014 Israel was the first to demonstrate a Battlefield Internet that consistently worked under combat conditions. This breakthrough development was largely ignored by the media but military leaders worldwide are paying attention.
What the Israelis have done with the Battlefield Internet is link everyone involved (pilots, UAV operators, tank commanders and infantry unit commander, plus people at C4i Teleprocessing Branch that managed the flow of data) so all can all see was what each other was seeing of the Hamas commandos. These multiple views eliminated the uncertainty often present when only one view was available. It made all the Israelis involved more confident and that led to speedier interpretation of the situation and decisive action to deal with it. This capability also reduces the risk of friendly fire.

No women in the infantry, says female USMC officer
You have to admire the courage of Captain Lauren F. Serrano for publishing this opinion article in the Marine Corps Gazette. She clearly states why women do not belong in the infantry, and explains the few exceptions (Israel and the Kurds have female infantry troops). This may mark the moment at which she stopped progressing toward her next promotion, however, as what she says will be incredibly unpopular politically:
While reading the February issue of the Marine Corps Gazette, I skimmed past the "Be Bold" advertisement calling for readers to submit articles that challenge a Marine Corps policy or way of doing business. Immediately a current "hot topic" came to mind, but as usual I quickly discarded it because I have purposely avoided publicly disagreeing with the passionate opinions of many of my female peers and friends. After weeks of contemplation and debate, I am "being bold" and coming clean: I am a female Marine officer and I do not believe women should serve in the infantry. I recognize that this is a strong statement that will be vehemently challenged by many. I have not come to this opinion lightly and I do not take joy in taking a stance that does not support equal opportunity for all. I have spent countless hours discussing this topic with many civilians and Marines and have discovered that a large number of people agree with the arguments in this article but do not wish to get involved in the public discussion. Interestingly, most of the people who want to incorporate women into infantry are civilians or young, inexperienced Marines. Most of the more seasoned Marines with whom I have spoken tend to oppose the idea of women in infantry—perhaps this is failure to adapt or perhaps it is experienced-based reasoning. National Public Radio's recent segment, "Looking for a Few Good (Combat-Ready) Women," stated, "Col Weinberg admits there's anecdotal evidence that female Marines, who make up 7 percent of the force, aren't rushing to serve in ground combat." If the infantry had opened to women while I was still a midshipman or second lieutenant I probably would have jumped at the opportunity because of the novelty, excitement, and challenge; but, to my own disappointment, my views have drastically changed with experience and knowledge. Acknowledging that women are different (not just physically) than men is a hard truth that plays an enormous role in this discussion. This article addresses many issues regarding incorporating women into the infantry that have yet to be discussed in much of the current discourse that has focused primarily on the physical standards.
Before you disagree, remember that war is not a fair business. Adversaries attempt to gain an advantage over their enemies by any means possible. Enemies do not necessarily abide by their adversary's moral standards or rules of engagement. Although in today's world many gory, violent war tactics are considered immoral, archaic, and banned by international law or the Geneva Conventions, adversaries still must give themselves the greatest advantage possible in order to ensure success. For the Marine Corps, this means ensuring that the infantry grunt (03XX) units are the strongest, most powerful, best trained, and most prepared physically and mentally to fight and win. Although perhaps advantageous to individuals and the national movement for complete gender equality, incorporating women into infantry units is not in the best interest of the Marine Corps or U.S. national security.

Sharp Aquos LC37XD1E 37in HD TV
There's HD and then there's full HD. While both will give you better pictures than normal TV, the latter offers a degree of future proofing by enabling you to take advantage of 1080p, the highest HD resolution currently in use. With both Blu-ray and HD DVD supporting it, you'll need a Full HD TV such as Sharp's LC37XD1E to …
It's good to see REAL HD TV's coming onto the market now.
The whole "HD Ready" thing has been a big con to get the unsuspecting Joe Public to go out and spend shed-loads of cash on a new telly in the belief that it was "HD", when of course it is not (ok - it's "higher" def, but it's definitely not "high" def.). This was to give the manufacturers a break (and some income!) while they came up with cheap enough ways of making real HD tellies. This con has been aided and abetted by the HiFi/Video press who have without exception failed to point out that "HD Ready" is not "HD" and that you're going to be very disappointed in a year or so when HD content (HD DVDs etc) become available.
I feel very sorry for these punters and wonder how long it will be before they realise they have been conned - probably when they go out and spend even more cash on a HD DVD player and find that the picture isn't quite as good as it should be?
What's the point...
... of a telly that you can't watch Freeview or SKY on because of artifacts? The number of people who exclusively watch DVDs on their telly must be pretty limited, let alone just HD/BR discs. It's like having a stereo system that you can only listen to SACD discs on.
When is the TV industry going to realize ...
... that I want to listen to my television on my A/V receiver, and not some $10 stereo speakers on the TV? One would think that someone like Sony (who's receiver we have) would figure that out.
so....its still Samsung territory then
Reg hardware reviews really should have a small 'better than' or 'same as' boxout - or even a mini league for kit thats on the same page as the conclusion. but from this review, it looks like the only real 37" FullHD player is the Samsung LE37M87 (part of the new 'tulip' range)
High def/standard + artefacts
Fair enough, you can complain about the different versions of "high def" TVs(720/1080 - not including the progressive/interlaced varieties!) but it was inevitable when they created two resolutions. I understand the rationale behind it too - some production companies won't want to added expense of upgrading their kit to accommodate that. So 720 is a reasonable happy-medium - similar to bandwidth restrictions on broadcasting.
As for the artefacts, they were already there! I've been seeing artefacts from the digital era since before I had an HD box - they were just harder to spot. It's very similar to the way in which DAB radio promised us better quality than analogue but failed dramatically, DTV is exactly the same. From what I recall, it's a very compressed MPEG2 stream - the broadcasting companies chose quantity of quality. Next time you see an artefact, blame one of the "quiz" channels for wasting part of the spectrum (and oxygen!). Bring back analogue, all is forgiven.
This is proper 1080p
I have this TV and can confirm that it is a real Full HD set - I spent a long time waiting for these to appear in smaller screen sizes. The manual specifies assorted limitations that appear to be fictional, and just trying them out should confirm that 1920x1080 is fully available.
Standard-def Sky still looks great on this TV. I think the reviewer is just saying it looks second rate after you've been watching 1080p sources. I've got a PC hooked up with HDMI, and a PS3 through the other HDMI, both of which look fantastic. The Sky-box through SCART looks poor by comparison, but still looks a lot better than on my old TV.
Looking Great...
My parents bought one of these a few months ago and I can confirm that it is indeed a beautiful set not only to look at but to watch both tv/sky/freeview and dvd's on.

A new research paper compares patent applications from startup university spinoffs and finds they are more innovative than comparable firms, in part because of their stronger ties to research networks and close proximity to universities.
Science and R&D
What Emerging Knowledge Economy?
It's not uncommon for many college education and STEM advocates to claim that the fastest growing occupations over the next decade will require a college education and/or STEM skills. In this view, the economy is shedding low skill jobs (either from automation or trade) and America is specializing in high-wage, knowledge-based jobs that require a college degree.
Scientific Researchers at Asian Universities Attracting More Industry Funding than American Counterparts
A report released last week by Times Higher Education, the World Academic Summit Innovation Index, finds that university scientific researchers from many Asian nations—including Korea, Singapore, Taiwan, and China—are attracting substantially more industry funding per researcher than their American counterparts. What makes this all the more striking is that American researchers tend to cost more than their Korean counterparts, and yet the latter still receive more funding.

Reposted from Stop Street Harassment:
Dr. Kimberly Fairchild is one of the few academics studying street harassment. Check out her article from 2008, written with Laurie A. Rudman: "Everyday stranger harassment and women's self-objectification" in Social Justice Research, 21(3), 338-357. Her article is based on research she conducted at Rutgers University about street harassment and its relationship to women's self-objectification. In a one-sentence summary, she examined the question: if men objectify women in public, are the women likely to internalize that view of themselves and objectify themselves?
Currently, she's examining whether or not changes in context alter women's responses to street harassment and she's also studying women's emotional responses. She's conducting an online survey as part of her research and is working to gather more responses, especially from men (for contrast). Please take it and share the link. Thanks!

|F Barratt
Fred Barratt made an immediate impact in first-class cricket, taking 8 wickets for Nottinghamshire against the MCC on his debut, and 115 wickets in his first season. The year, however, was 1914, and when first-class cricket resumed 5 years later he had trouble recapturing this form. However in 1923 he passed the 100 wicket mark again, and his batting developed - in 1928 he did the double. He bowled fast, using the physical strength gained in working down the Nottinghamshire coal mines, and as a bat hit hard, and often. His drives were particularly powerful, and he on occasion scored very rapidly - particularly in his two first-class hundreds, one made in 85 minutes. He gained Test honours in 1929, but failed to make an impact. By this time Harold Larwood and Bill Voce joined with him to form a notable pace attack at Nottinghamshire, but he toured Australasia in 1930, playing in the Tests against New Zealand. His Test performances were unimpressive, however, and he retired after the 1932 season with a tally 1,224 first class wickets at an impressive 22.71. He also was a fine footballer, playing for Aston Vila and Sheffield Wednesday.

Update: Anderso (ankle) is on track to start Wednesday against the Red Sox.
Recommendation: Anderson, who left Friday's start after one inning with a sprained ankle, deemed himself good to go for Wednesday, and manager Bob Melvin echoed the same sentiment, saying Anderson is "on schedule." The left-hander said he still feels some pain while running, but barring setback, Anderson should be fine to toe the rubber against Boston.

With a second bout of skin cancer under his belt, Hugh Jackman isn't messing around.
At Saturday's global premiere of X-Men: Days of Future Past in New York City, the star, 45, had a bandage on the side of his nose – and a message for fans.
Asked how his face was doing, he chuckled and said, "My face? It's fine, it's good. Thank you for asking. I have a few stitches, I had a basal cell carcinoma taken out."

She knew she would feel good – just not this good.
In an interview set to air May 27 on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, Ellen Page tells DeGeneres – who share a name and, now, the experience of being beloved entertainers who came out as lesbians, 17 years apart – that she felt an immediate weight lifted after her February announcement.
"I knew I would be a happier person," says the X-Men: Days of Future Past star, 27. "I did not anticipate just how happy I would feel in every aspect of my life. Just an ease and a comfort. And it's really been quite extraordinary to feel just the shift. It was pretty much overnight, too."

When Ellen Page came out as a lesbian in February, she had given her decision a lot of thought, and she was more than ready, even eager, to tell the truth about her sexuality.

Some people pass the time by, say, knitting or napping or (ahem) watching large quantities of cat videos.
Ellen Page has an even better hobby though, she confessed on Twitter.

This is a rare, classic, ex-Victorian Police bike with low mileage and in good condition. The owner is now elderly and reluctantly must part with it without restoring it himself. It has barely been ridden since it was bought in 1972, has not been started and been stored in good condition for 28 years. The bike was running when stored and will need a good clean out prior to starting. Visually, the bike is a treat and would be a rewarding rebuild.

Four players on enemy reported me for roleplaying my champion
So, I was Rengar. This is exactly the stuff I said :
*sniffs the air and looks around* Time for hunt.
*ROARR!* (i said this one after I was like 7-1 and got a double kill)
"I can smell your fear, Miss Fortune"
*wipes blood from snout*
For that stuff, I got reported by 4 enemy players for harassment. They were angry at me in All-Chat because apparently they didn't like that I was roleplaying my champion while they were losing the game. Thing is, I was roleplaying from before the match started. Oh, and their Miss Fortune called me a serial killer and kept insulting me about it because apparently, roleplaying on a video game is for crazy people.....
Please go and refer to the post on why people use virgin as an insult.
This is funny. as long as you weren't being offensive or blatantly harassing them, you won't be banned for that lol.
Please make roleplaying ban worthy xD
They were probably annoyed and felt like you were mocking them, because I know if you were on the other team I would have been annoyed at you also.
Maybe keep the role playing to your own chat instead of all chat?
Don't worry about it.
Understand the mentality of the people on the other team, put yourself in their shoes, and then think of someone saying this to you... It comes off highly arrogant before it does 'role playing'
So, yeah... not gonna care for it.. But you won't get punished for it.
I seriously doubt you will get banned for this. If I see this in tribunal, and it's all you did, I will make SURE to pardon it. Role-playing is NOT harassment. There is a difference. Now if you actually harassed them in all chat, that's another story and the punish button would be hit...

Facebook Tests Searching By Keyword In Mobile Apps
Eventually Facebook will bring Graph Search to mobile devices. At least Mark Zuckerberg says so. In January, he said it would be coming "pretty soon".
Facebook is staying quiet about any timetable, but now and then tests leak into public. In June, it was a test for mobile web users.
This week, it's a test giving some mobile app users the ability to search by keyword. First reported by Bloomberg, the test enables people to search through content posted by friends and pages they follow.
We asked Facebook to give more details about the test, including what devices are included, and got this emailed response from a spokesperson:
"We're testing an improvement to search on mobile. In this test you can use keywords to search for posts you're in the audience for on Facebook."
DON'T MISS OUT! The agenda for Search Engine Land's SMX West search marketing show is now up. Search marketing is the biggest area of digital marketing. You can't afford to get it wrong! SMX has practical tips & techniques for those experienced with SEO & SEM plus a welcoming environment for beginners. Learn more!

Once upon a time, there was born a little boy. The little boy stole his mothers heart. (well...the part babies can steal, anyway. :) )And every day since then, the mother was in awe of the small boy. How could she be so incredibly blessed. Not only to have a child, but one as sweet and cute and precious, as the one Jesus sent to her.
Now, I'm having a hard time believing he is already 1 1/2!!? Where does the time go, anyway?
He is such a little charmer these days..busy busy, running through the house. Some of his favourite things: playing with balls, and cars and trucks..and looking at (reading to himself) books. Right now, his absolute fav is "The Little Red Caboose". Love hearing his "choo-choo" noises.
He also has to make sure the every time the train goes by, I pick him up, so he can see it go by, from the window. Sometimes it's a little inconvenient, when I'm in the middle of something..(like feeding Hudson) but then I think about the fact, that every time I hear a train, probably for the rest of my life, I will remember my little boy, pulling on my skirt, dancing around saying "choo-choo", while pounding his hand on his chest. (saying "please") When I think about it that way, it's not too hard to stop what I'm doing, and lift him up to see the train. I know all to well, that time is not standing still, and before I know it...I won't even be able to pick him up anymore.
He also goes basically NO WHERE, without the precious little bunny. You will see it couldn't even stay out of the pictures. Has to at LEAST be in a few.
Oh, but I love him.
Graham's brother, Garett, came to visit us, the beginning of the month, and with him, he brought this amazing camera of his, along with a boat-load of talent. And, he captured these precious photos of our firstborn. Just so you are aware...all credits go to him. :)
If anyone wants some photo-treasures, look him up!
And now... here's my big boy. I could not seem to pick a favourite...once again.
So, you get to see all of my favourites. :)
Those eyes...they just melt me in a big, messy puddle.
Another one of his favourite things right now, is sitting on the little white chair, by the window, eating his snack of apple slices, watching it "now" (snow)
I treasure this boy sooo much. I am so blessed, that Jesus saw it best to send him to our home. To allow me to be his mama. To teach him life lessons...about God, and His wonderful plan for our lives..as well as learning from him. He has already taught me so much. I've learned how truly selfish I really am.
But, I've also experienced a love, that I never knew existed.
Hope you enjoy these pictures as much as I did. But, I guess I wouldn't expect that...maybe half as much. :)
Happy week to one and all.

Ranch announces new merchants
Date: January 4, 2010
by: Michael Eng | Executive Editor
LWR Commercial Realty announced today the addition of two new merchants to Lakewood Ranch in two different locations.
Ming Wu Martial Arts has opened at the corner of Lorraine Road and State Road 70, and The Fish Hole Adventure Golf will be opening on Main Street in the spring.
Ming Wu Martial Arts owner Jessie Vi is an award-winning martial artist and humanitarian. Stepdaughter and student, Paige Oswald, 15, is a second-degree black belt and was just recruited onto the United States National Martial Arts Team. She will be one of the teachers at the school.
"I am so excited to finally be opening a school in Lakewood Ranch," Vi said. "It has been a longtime dream to bring Ming Wu to such a family-oriented neighborhood where so many children and adults can benefit from the exercise and discipline martial arts can offer."
The Fish Hole on Lake Uihlein is adventure outdoor miniature golf and will begin construction on their facility which borders Lake Uihlein in February. Owner Jacob Spooner currently operates an adventure golf facility on Anna Maria Island and grew up in Manatee County.
"We could not be more thrilled to be bringing adventure golf to Main Street at Lakewood Ranch," Spooner said.
Spooner also will open a golf and novelty store called Main Street Bazaar just a few stores down from the golf course. That store is expected to open in March.

I had hoped to fire the SIG 556R at Media Day but the queue to shoot it was too long and after waiting about 15 minutes I left the SIG range. It looks like a fun gun to shoot. SIG will be selling it this year with a camo finish.
