Karzai, Taliban blast photos of US troops with Afghan bodies
KABUL (Reuters) - Afghan President Hamid Karzai condemned photographs of U.S. soldiers posing with the mangled bodies of Afghan insurgent bombers as "inhuman" on Thursday, calling for a rapid transition from NATO to Afghan security to prevent more such incidents.
The pictures dealt a further blow to U.S.-Afghan relations as Washington is trying to sign a strategic deal with Karzai on a presence in the country after the 2014 pullout of most foreign combat troops.
"The Afghan president emphasised that the only way to prevent such bitter experiences in the future is a quick and complete security transition from foreign forces," said a statement from Karzai's office.
"Afghanistan can take its destiny into its own hands very soon and in this country there will not be any bad actions by foreign troops."
Karzai called the two-year-old photographs, taken by U.S. paratroppers in 2010, an "inhuman act" and said it was "disgusting" to pose in that way with dead bodies.
Ties between Karzai and his Western backers have been strained over a series of blunders, including U.S. troops inadvertently burning copies of the Koran, as well as the killing of 17 villagers for which a U.S. soldier was charged.
Those incidents have helped fuel anti-Western sentiment in the country ahead of a crucial May meeting in the U.S. city of Chicago to discuss the future size and funding for Afghan security forces beyond the 2014 NATO exit deadline.
The Afghan Taliban, who claimed responsibility for brazen weekend attacks in Kabul and three other provinces, vowed revenge against U.S. forces fighting in the country after the pictures were published in the Los Angeles Times newspaper.
"They will be punished for their actions and we will take revenge. When and how is up to our military officials, (but) it will be added to our plans," Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid told Reuters by telephone.
U.S. officials quickly condemned the behaviour seen in the pictures published on Wednesday, which included a photo of American soldiers posing with a dead insurgent's hand with the middle finger raised.
In one of the photos, a U.S. paratrooper posed next to an unofficial patch placed beside a body that read "Zombie Hunter," while in another photo soldiers posed with Afghan police holding the severed legs of an insurgent bomber.
Apologies from Washington did little to quell Taliban ire, with Zabihullah trying to stoke so-far muted Afghan public reaction against police seen standing with the Americans.
"Such photos by the invader Americans are not something new, but what looks new in these photos is the Afghans looking like slaves, standing beside their invader masters and making fun of corpses," he said.
U.S. Defence Secretary Leon Panetta on Wednesday said he regretted the Times' decision to publish the photos, which he said might trigger retaliatory violence against foreign soldiers in Afghanistan.
But Afghan Defence Minister General Abdul Rahim Wardak, attending a meeting of NATO allies and partners in Brussels, said he did not expect a widespread backlash.
"I think these pictures were not as graphic as some in the past. So I doubt it will create a reaction that will cause attacks on international forces," said Wardak.
Insurgents this week launched a coordinated assault on four provinces, targeting diplomatic and government areas of Kabul with rockets and gunfire in what they said was retaliation for incidents involving U.S. soldiers.
The attacks - the start of the traditional summer fighting months - showed the insurgency's continued strength nearly 11 years since the militant group was ousted from power.
America's ambassador to Afghanistan said in a briefing to Afghan media that there was "no question" the Haqqani network, one of the most feared insurgent groups in the country, was behind the attacks.
Ryan Crocker called on neighbouring Pakistan to crack down on what he called Haqqani safe havens in Pakistani territory, reiterating longstanding U.S. demands that have strained ties between the strategic allies.
"We know where their leadership lives and we know where these plans are made. They're not made in Afghanistan. They're made in Miram Shah, which is in North Waziristan, which is in Pakistan," Crocker said.
The Haqqani, while smaller in numbers than the Taliban, pose one of the biggest challenges to Afghan security forces ahead of NATO's combat troop departure, having proved repeatedly their ability to put together sophisticated attacks.
The United States has urged Pakistan's military to launch an offensive in North Waziristan to go after the Haqqanis. Pakistan says it is already stretched fighting homegrown Taliban militants elsewhere near the Afghan border.
Afghan security officials expect this year's fighting season to be more bloody than last year's as NATO troops hand over more security responsibility to Afghan forces before the pullout.

STARKE, Fla. (AP) - Florida has executed 51-year-old William Happ for the 1986 rape and strangulation of a woman he encountered by chance in a convenience store parking lot.
Officials say Happ was pronounced dead at 6:16 p.m. at Florida State Prison in Starke. He was executed by injection.
He had been convicted of the 1986 murder of 21-year-old Angie Crowley. She moved to South Florida from Oregon, Ill., just five months before her murder.
She was traveling to visit a friend in north Florida when she stopped in Crystal River to use a pay phone at a convenience store. Happ just happened to be there. He smashed the window to the car and kidnapped Crowley. He raped her then strangled her with her stretch pants and threw her body in a canal.

Another day and another treat for the A-listers as they attend a gourmet lunch at Spago with their host Robin Leach while the B-listers nosh at a Hofbrau house drinking beer and doing the Chicken Dance. Soon enough though, the treats turn to tricks as the teams learn the next competition is aptly named the Hooker Challenge. As Hugh Grant & Eddie Murphy have literally testified, few things can damage your A-List reputation more than getting caught with a hooker. Our teams enter a room full of 60 women -- 20 are hookers, and 40 not. The two teams each have a VIP section where they can invite 15 lovely ladies to join them behind the velvet rope. In the end, whoever has the fewest number of working girls in their VIP section will win. The team that loses will again have to choose 3 people to battle it out in the Back to Reality game show. This time the game on deck is The Real Bling. Can these players tell the difference between real and faux? The one who can't will be turned out on the street -- at least now they know people.

Britney and Jamie Lynn Spears Double Wedding in the Works (Tabloid Falsely Claims)!by Free Britney at . Comments
Both in steady relationships for the first time in ... well, ever, have Britney and Jamie Lynn Spears decided to tie the knot together in a dual ceremony soon?
No way in hell, but why would that stop OK! from claiming as much? The magazine says Britney Spears really, really wants to make her third time the charm.
She knows just the way. At a Lady Gaga concert with her younger, unwed teen mom sister, Britney hatched this brilliant idea - that she and Jamie Lynn marry BFs Jason Trawick and Casey Aldridge in a spectacular double wedding!
According to insiders, Britney was half-joking about "a huge, over-the-top Hollywood affair" at first. But the couples soon warmed to the idea, like for real.
By for real, we mean this never happened. At all.
Pick up this week's OK! for all the made-up details on what the dream, non-existent guest list may be and what the fictional ceremony might look like!
In the complicated world we live in, it's good to find spmlie solutions.
i think it would bee nice for brit get marry to jason finally she found someone look at her histroy she had bad times but now she is better im so glad so many this guy might be the one for her for her sister i don't know she shpuldv't waited
Just the fact that these two are on a cover scares me. Nothing else in celeb news to talk about? Scary.
hii i love hearng abot all th gossip so i can tell all my friends!!!!thanxxxxx

LACY LAKEVIEW -- For the first day back in school following last week's catastrophic fertilizer plant explosion, about 800 high school and intermediate school students from West were welcomed into new classrooms this morning. Students and faculty, most wearing West's school colors of red and black, were having classes 13 miles south of West in what was a vacant Connally school district building.Others attended classes in the current Connally High School across the street."Some of the teachers still haven't got back in their homes but they're here and ready to go," said West assistant Superintendent Jan Hungate.Inside the once-vacant school building, the 14 classrooms had been painted in West school colors, the cafeteria had been stocked and each desk was equipped with binders, pens and paper."This building was completely empty on Friday," said Wesley Holt, a spokesman for the Connally school district. "We had to find everything from furniture to school supplies."As buses dropped off students, hugs and handshakes were exchanged with faculty members."It feels like the first day of school," Hungate said. "The floors are shiny. We're ready to go."West school district officials plan to finish the school year at Connally's facilities. By next fall, they hope to be back in West. West received a waiver from the Texas Education Agency to have abbreviated school days and teach only core classes. State-mandated STAAR testing, which is scheduled to begin Tuesday for some elementary and intermediate school students, has been postponed for the West students, Hungate said.The classrooms were being staffed by West teachers and administrators. Hungate said 50 counselors from area school districts were on hand to help as well."I think it might hit some of them now that their back with their friends at school," Hungate said. Area school districts met on Friday to decide where to house West students after the West Intermediate School and West High School were damaged in Wednesday's explosion that killed 14 people and injured more than 200.Other school districts pitched in with supplies and the Spring school district provided school buses.Bill Hanna, 817-390-7698Twitter: @fwhanna

Storm-battered Rockall adventurer recalls 'worst experience of my life'
1985 again
A quick check confirms that the British Navy claimed the island in 1955. The 1985 trip was to re-affirm Britiain's ownership by having someone reside on the island, which was originally claimed to avoid cold-war enemies establishing a remote "listening post" on it.
A sentry box and beacon was constructed by the crew of HMS Tartar on the islet in 1974, when they also remodeled the peak with explosives to form a ledge. There's a rather amusing photograph of the sentry box and two guards in ceremonial uniform on Wikipedia.
EE in giant VoLTE-face as it tries voice calls over Wi-Fi... again
Signal Boost and Signal Box
I have a UMA Samsung Galaxy S2 GTI9100P from Orange. I bought this model because I'm not a BB fan and my work was suffering from the lack of a mobile signal in the place I spend most time. I live in a village with no mobile signal from any network, but a class 3 BT exchange means lots of BT WiFi APs in people's living rooms. With the Signal Boost/UMA functionality and BT Wifi, I can get signal to make and receive call and texts all around the village.
To allow the rest of the family with non-UMA handsets to get a signal at home, I've also obtained an EE Signal Box (a Femtocell) with connects to my Broadband. As a result, I have fantastic coverage, most of my calls over the last three years have been over WiFi and I've turned down the handset offered by my employer as it would be a white elephant.
EE now plagues me with requests to upgrade my (admittedly battered and battery-tired handset) but I refuse to part with it until they again offer a handset with UMA or a similar technology built in. EE customer service and retail staff tell me that they no longer offer Signal Boost, or ask what it is.
In my use-case, 4G calling will never reach my family and I - a whole mile outside a major UK city - so WiFi is the way forward due to it's ubiquitous nature. I've gotten used to standing still while making calls (so I don't move out of WiFi range) so handoff between WiFi/4G/3G/2G isn't as important to me as just having a signal.
The truth of the oft-quoted 99% coverage is that it relates to population, not square miles. There are vast swathes of the UK with no hope of mobile coverage or fast Broadband and those of us who choose to live where we are part of the 1% would love to be connected somehow, without too much fuss.

I use a word processor and haven't used a typesetter and design house for simple print requirements in a long time. I don't believe it's reduced the number of designers. If anything there are more, based on Apple sales figures. As companies start simple and then realize they need to differentiate themselves from their competitors with a more complex app.

IANA has a plan
I don't blame him for folding the service. He was already planning to retire, has run the service for free which many commercial companies have used extensively for commercial purposes, and he probably doesn't want the hassle of a long complicated court case when he could just turn it off and retire. It was his announcement of retirement which led to the IANA plan.
It is the likes on Red at who should look to back him at this time... if help is wanted.

What Lies Beneath: Diving Into the Neptune Undersea Observatory Project [Infographic]
On the surface, it would seem that new frontiers have been just about exhausted on Earth… but sometimes you just have to look deeper. The world's oceans are vast, covering 71 percent of the Earth's surface and containing 97 percent of the water… yet only about 5 percent of the ocean and its depths have been explored. The Neptune Canada project is aiming to change that. By filling us in with real-time video and data direct from the far reaches of the sea floor, the project launched in 2009 is already helping scientists understand mysteries of the deep – and they're doing it with the help of people like you.

Bianca Jones' mother says she still believes her daughter is alive
Updated On: Mar 15 2012 08:38:50 AM EDT
The mother of a 2-year-old Detroit girl who has been missing since December says she will continue to believe her daughter is alive until there's proof otherwise.
"I have to believe that Bianca is alive until I have something that shows me different. And, as of this time, there is no proof that my daughter is not alive. I'm just asking everyone to keep looking," Banika Jones said, in an interview with Local 4.
The 2-year-old went missing Dec. 2, when her father, D'Andre Lane, said he was carjacked with the girl in the back seat. The car was recovered, but the girl wasn't inside.
"I talk to Bianca every day. I talk about her every day. I think about her every day. I have cried for my daughter every day," Banika Jones said. "I think that I will until I have her back again."
The mother's message to Lane: "The truth, the truth is the way."
Local 4 has learned that Lane is being held in the Oakland County Jail for violating a protection order in an unrelated case.
Sources confirming that Wayne County authorities have put a "hold" on Lane, meaning he is not to be released and is to be remanded into Wayne County's custody. Source say the reason is because a homicide warrant has been issued for him.
Wayne County Prosecutor Kym Worthy has a news conference planned for Wednesday afternoon, where she said she will announce a charging decision.

Henrico's Top Teachers – Evelyn Thomas
Three Chopt E.S., second grade
Parents of second-graders in Evelyn Thomas' class at Three Chopt Elementary School don't have to motivate their students to do homework.
"My son runs in the door and asks, "Can I do my math homework now? I'm going to beat my number from yesterday!'" one wrote in a letter nominating Thomas as a top teacher.
Wrote another: "My son has shown an amazing effort with homework and spelling tests that he did not have in previous years. When I asked why, he responded, 'I want to be a good student and Mrs. Thomas is so good to us, I would not want to make her sad."
Thomas has earned high marks across the board from parents, who describe her as cheerful, caring and enthusiastic. Her ability to engage students and foster a love of learning has paid many dividends.
One of her most popular assignments is 'Five-minute math,' in which children make flashcards with a variety of math problems, then sit down with family members at home and do as many as they can within five minutes. Students predict how many they'll get right, then monitor their progression and divide the piles into those they know and those they don't.
"At the beginning of the school year, some kids only get through 13 or 14," Thomas says. "But then they start to see progress. I've got students now doing 106 math facts in five minutes. They take ownership of what they're doing."
Parents have witnessed the excitement first-hand.
"My son is so incredibly eager to please her," one wrote in a nomination letter. "He can't wait to tell her when he breaks his "five minute math" record! He's so eager to go to school each day because of Mrs. Thomas. As a mom, that means everything to me."
Said another: "Mrs. Thomas has changed my son from a child who went to school because he had to, to a child who is truly excited to go to school and learn."
Thomas, now in her 12th year as a Henrico teacher and 21st overall, is married to Hunter Thomas, who has taught for 23 years in the county and is currently at Godwin High School. She has taught every grade level in elementary school and served recently as a math coach, splitting time between Crestview and Three Chopt as part of a federal grant. But she missed having her own homeroom and was glad to return full-time to Three Chopt this year.
"I love second grade," she says. "They're so curious, and the group that I have, they're happy – they give me smiles all day long. One of my priorities is to create a happy place for these children to come, and they make it easy for me."
Thomas still recalls a moment that occurred early in her teaching career in the City of Richmond, when a first-grader asked her on a Friday afternoon, "What do you do here over the weekend?" When she told the child that she didn't come to the classroom on the weekends, he said, "I wish I could come up here tomorrow, and I wish I could stay in our classroom."
"Emotionally, he was invested in our class, and we were family to him," Thomas says. "That just told me that I made an impact in his life. To know that he would want to spend more time in class, it kind of said that I was on the right path. That's such a huge part of my job – making sure that when the children come to school that it's a happy place."

CCC seeks donations for food pantry
Citizen Staff Reports 11/12/2014
Commonwealth Catholic Charities is in desperate need of food donations for its community food pantry that serves the region's low-income families, according to officials with the Henrico-based nonprofit.
After moving into its new location this past summer, the agency has dedicated a larger space for the pantry but the shelves are practically empty.
"As we head into the holidays and the weather turns colder, the need for food becomes even more critical, but unfortunately our cupboards are nearly bare," said Jay Brown, the agency's director for the division of housing services. "Donations of food will allow us help provide." > Read more.

-- As noted earlier here on the website, WWE took an idea TNA has used for years at Friday's RAW live event at the Ricoh Coliseum in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Fans who purchased Dolph Ziggler's "Show Off" Pink T-Shirt could meet the RAW Superstar at intermission. WWE getting male fans to buy a pink t-shirt has got to be some sort of inside joke. Anyways, they are doing it again tonight at the RAW live event in London, Ontario, Canada.
In another addition, they had a big screen where they played video of the main eventers earlier in the show "getting ready" for their matches. A video message from Chris Jericho was shown.

QlikView solution provider signs as Actian reseller to help QlikView customers benefit from QlikView Direct Discovery functionality with Actian Vectorwise
London, UK, 4th February 2013 - Actian Corp. ("Actian"), a leader in next generation big data management, today announced that Differentia Consulting has signed a reseller agreement with the company to offer enterprises the benefits of Actian Vectorwise, the innovative, record-breaking analytic database for big data.
Active since 2002, Differentia Consulting provides consulting, solutions, resourcing, support and training services to its clients and is a leading QlikView Solution Provider in Europe. Differentia Consulting has chosen to offer Actian Vectorwise to reply to the demand from its QlikView clients who want to go beyond the confines of the technology and now analyze and report on bigger, more complex data sets.
With Actian Vectorwise, Differentia Consulting can now offer its customers a joint solution of QlikView and Vectorwise that allows its clients to broaden their analytics and benefit from better performance and simplicity.
Previously, in very high data volume scenarios, users had to build and manage numerous linked QlikView documents supported by QVD files. These QVD files are a local QlikView data storage mechanism and in order to achieve the required performance with very large data sets it was necessary to create a hierarchy of aggregation. This approach is less than ideal as it introduces constraints in the flexibility of the analysis possible.
QlikView now incorporates Direct Discovery functionality which permits it to leverage the very high performance of the Vectorwise database for calculating aggregates on-the-fly over very large datasets. This approach removes the requirement to build pre-calculated aggregates within QVDs and permits the highly flexible analysis approach which has made QlikView so popular.
Differentia Consulting believes that Vectorwise offers a superior level of manageability, simplicity as well as analytic performance when compared to other database solutions. Furthermore, thanks to the QlikView Direct Discovery functionality, users can extend their use of QlikView applications by implementing Actian Vectorwise as the underlying analytic database in high volume usage cases that demand; speed, agility and system governance.
"I see Vectorwise as the enabler of Big Data access from our clients' perspective. We needed an analytic database that we could offer our clients where large data volumes were making deploying QlikView non viable. For us, Vectorwise was the logical solution; being agile and rapid is key," commented Adrian Parker, vice-president strategy and marketing at Differentia Consulting.
"Differentia Consulting is a key solution provider in the European BI marketplace and has been successful in helping businesses benefit from QlikView technology," commented Sean Jackson, marketing director EMEA at Actian. "By offering Vectorwise, Differentia Consulting is now extending their reach and helping more enterprises benefit from faster and simpler big data analytics and reporting. No longer do QlikView users need to be constrained by the amount of data they can analyze; with Vectorwise, the amount of data can grow exponentially, which means that users can analyze and report on more data than ever before. We look forward to working with Differentia Consulting to take this proposition to the QlikView installed base."
About Actian: Take Action on Big Data
Actian Corporation enables organizations to transform big data into business value with data management solutions to transact, analyze, and take automated action across their business operations. Actian helps 10,000 customers worldwide take action on their big data with Action Apps, Vectorwise, the analytical database, and Ingres, an independent mission-critical OLTP database.

IoT is still a vague buzzword for many people. In his session at @ThingsExpo, Mike Kavis, Vice President & Principal Cloud Architect at Cloud Technology Partners, discussed the business value of IoT that goes far beyond the general public's perception that IoT is all about wearables and home consumer services. He also discussed how IoT is perceived by investors and how venture capitalist access this space. Other topics discussed were barriers to success, what is new, what is old, and what the future may hold. Mike Kavis is Vice President & Principal Cloud Architect at Cloud Technology Pa...

eBay hands badges to top-rated sellers
No title!
I'm surprised there are any small sellers left after eBay's ongoing attempts to get rid of them with their idiot CEO's changes. I left eBay Australia early 2008, couldn't stand it any more, every single change was either anti-seller or more-money-for-greedy-eBay or both. eBay could write the textbook on how to alienate customers to the point where they leave.
McAfee: Save the planet - use a spam filter
Utter nonsense
Is McAfee serious, or have you published an April Fool's Day story a couple of weeks late?
How pray tell, does the spammer turn on PC's to do this? FFS, the PC is already on and consuming power!
McAfee has obviously learned from the social engineering tricks of the spammers, mixed global warming and spam, and produced "believable" crap.
eBay looks to flog useless stuff
They should sell that idiot Donohue.
If they get anything for him, it'll be worth offloading that moron and his "we hate our sellers" mantra.
Intel to present 32nm chip while AMD shows off 22nm part
a square micrometres is an area not a density
The title says it all... describing square micrometers as a density is like calling litres a weight.
I guess describing units of measure accurately is just another thing that's become unimportant...
ITV gets adverts into video
ITV writing the appendix...
... for eBay's "How to Piss Off Your Customers So Much That They Leave" book...
Bloody TV spammers... if they think ads are so welcome, why not ditch the programs altogether and show ads 24/7.
Skype ignores PayPal siphoning hijack scheme
Who owns Skype & PayPal?
Look at the owner of the 2 companies for the reason why they do nothing and don't respond.
It's the typical eBay response... do nothing and say nothing...
ICANN backs auction of disputed domains
Anything to ignore their renegade spammer-friendly registrars
They should be renamed ICANNOT, for their pathetic do-nothing attitude to dealing with their spammer-friendly registrars, especially the Chinese ones, who register millions of spammer domains, breaking both their own and ICANN's T & C, and do nothing to suspend them despite thousands of complaints.
ICANN is probably still buried in its bureaucratic quagmire and busy (?) writing a discussion paper on formulating a working party to bring together a committee to think about appointing a group to manage a new section to appoint a third-party to oversee...
Meanwhile the spammers continue to fill our in-boxes full of crap... thanks ICANN!
Reg hack insults the Parachute Regiment
What Gall!
And you had the gall to bleat about the INQ's spammer suicide story?
You're as bad as each other... two less sites to bother with now.
I remember the heady days when the Reg actually bothered with news...
eBayer slaps $714 price tag on $630 in cash
Let's not forget...
the PayPal-only fiasco that eBay are still trying to force on Australians despite the ACCC saying NO in a draft ruling. But of course, eBay true to form, are disagreeing with everyone. They're right and everyone else (as usual, labelled 'the vocal minority' by eBay) are wrong.
Thousands of Aussie sellers and buyers, sick of eBay doing everything they can to alienate them, are leaving this arrogant company and it's evil sidekick PayPal.
In a couple of years, I bet 'eBay' gets added to the dictionary as a verb, meaning to hate one's customers. and 'to Paypal' will mean 'ripping off with extortionate fees, in the guise of being safer and more secure.' :-)
Outsiders get a crack at eBay's Selling Manager
eBay is a 4 letter word in Australia
I'm astonished... eBay actually thinking that someone else can do a better job than themselves.
What happened to eBay's god-complex? The one where any individuals, organisations, banks, national consumer organisations, governments... that disagree with them are just labelled 'vocal minorities'.
There is a deep hatred of eBay and PayPal in Oz because of their idiotic PayPal-only attempts and unfair feedback changes described in an earlier comment.
They'll be lucky to survive unscathed, and good riddance to the greedy customer-hating bastards. They've reached the heights they have only because they're standing on the corpses of the many sellers and buyers that they've so deeply betrayed and badly mistreated!
'Secure' PayPal page is... you guessed it
PayPal mandatory soon with eBay auctions
And the eBay clowns are shortly going to force eBay Australia sellers and buyers to use PayPal only, because it's safer, more secure, (and the main reason that eBay never mentions, the additional PayPal fees will make more $ for eBay when the buyer pays).
Comcast busted for bagging BitTorrents (again)
A pity...
It's a pity that "Spamcast" doesn't take as seriously the issue of bots on their network sending spam, hosting spammers websites, launching DDoS attacks, and acting as nameservers for spammer web sites. But I guess there's no money in it for them to do so...
The balkanization of Storm Worm botnets
Switch the US off too?
Switch off Asia and Eastern Europe?
An analysis done by an associate has shown that the country with the greatest proportion of bots hosting spammer sites is the U.S. Should we switch them off too mate? See here...
BTW not everyone in Asia is a dishonest bastard (as you implied)!
eBay forum mysteriously leaks account details on 1,200 users
eBay is perfect (not)
Gee, eBay denies any security issues with their site.
What a surprise!!! Well not to those of use who have tried to help eBay by pointing out problems.
Like something out of "Yes Minister"...
Phase 1: Denial - "There is no problem"
Phase 2: Argumentum ad numerum - "Can't be an issue because no one else has reported it" (except for the 100's in eBay's own support forums)
Phase 3: the infamous eBay "wall of silence" - no response to further reports.

I currently have Nitto Terra Grapplers but I'm only about 2,000 or so in to them so far so I can't comment on longevity.
The do so-so in mud (light powder when dry, real slick when wet stuff), they do great on the hilly dirt roads around my camp (more sandy composition) and they are great on the highway. Hard core mud I would look elsewhere, but from what I've seen so far I'll go back with them if they can give me reasonable tread life.
I've never had those Firestones, I know a friend's dad has some on his F150 and seems satisfied but his truck stays mainly on road these days (sold their hunting camp) and 4X4 only gets used on steep boat launches. Personally I don't care for their tread pattern.

I would buy another set for the GMC , but I want to try something different than the usual BFG AT's I've had which seem the more they wear the harder the ride and compound get. I have had over 10 sets of these on my life and I personally think they have fallen a little behind by just relying on the name and not making significant tread design and compound changes .

I just put 65,000 on some 285-70/17 LR E Toyo OC A/T tires and they just now are wearing to the wear indicators. I poisted a thread on them. I just ordered another set. Toyo owns Nitto and thats probably why the Terra Grappler A/T tread looks almost identical to the Toyo Open Country A/T. From the reports I've read on the Nitto's, I'd guess the Toyo's will wear longer by nearly twice. In comparable sizes, the Toyo and Nittos are not much difference in price.
With the Toyo A/T, you don't get those cute little lighning bolts on the sidewall, though.

Sharing Machine sells t-shirts, books, CDs, and other merchandise by Drew & Natalie Dee. All of our merchandise ships from our Columbus, OH warehouse approximately once per week. If you have a special request or question about when your order will arrive, please email Drew at email@example.com. We will attempt to get you the stuff you want in the timeframe you want, but please understand that we only ship once a week and Drew typically does not believe that webcomic merchandise is a life-or-death matter, and will probably even make fun of you if you do that "Customer is always right" stuff.
If you are inside the USA you will probably get your items in 2-3 weeks from the date you order, possibly sooner. If you're outside the USA it will be anywhere from 2 weeks to 6 weeks depending on where you live, how heavy the box is, and which direction the wind is blowing.
We gladly replace broken or damaged merchandise. However, we operate strictly on a "no refund, no exchange, no return" policy for merchandise that arrives in acceptable condition. If you want to request one of these three things that we don't do, email email@example.com. We'll probably cave and do what you ask if you're reasonable, but if you're being unreasonable, we reserve the right to tell you no.
By placing an order at thenewsharingmachine.com you agree that you agree to all of the above.
