About Me
- About <Challenger>
- Biography
- Decided to fix this, as things have changed. I'm an awkward turtle, with a minor-moderate case of unofficial social anxiety, or a severe case of social awkwardness. I have a love of books, poetry, roleplaying, video games, anime, and, most importantly, music. My favorite genres include alternative, orchestral, some electronic (mainly DJ S3RL and Owl City), various forms of rock including alternative and Scottish, and various Youtube artists, if that counts as a genre.
I suppose the two words that ultimately describe me are "Eccentric Goofball." I have tendencies to talk to myself, do random ninja kicks and junk, do impressions of characters that I'm in love with, usually Vegeta, Cloud Strife, or various Naruto characters, and wish (in vain) that I could save the world very much like those characters.
High school sucks and I have a job. That sums it up. - Interests
- I like to write poetry, play guitar, watch abridged series (I hope to make one one day), and I love video games of every shape, form, and fashion. Mainly RPG's though.

Mine doesn't have the black shadowing.
Scott said the ten copies of Netossa that he opened didn't feature the black stain on the net/cape that we have seen in the reviews. So, after looking at your Netossa, does she have the black stain?
Mine doesn't have the black shadowing.
Most Wanted MOTU Classics:
*MotU ~ Multi-Bot/Tung Lashor *PoP ~ Angella/Mermista *200X ~ Roboto/Calix *Filmation ~ Teela Na/Lord Masque
*Play-Sets ~ Snake Mountain/Fright Zone *Vehicles ~ Roton/Land Shark *Beasts ~ Night Stalker/Stridor
Yes, she does have the spot. However, mine is very faint. At first I didnt think she had it until I put a piece of paper behind it.
Mine does not have it.
The Space Mutants are missing something CRITAcal!
Chocolate and Vanilla swiiiirl. Swur-Urrl. -Crazy Eyes
I have two figures and neither of mine have it.
Successful Transactions with: Jeff_R
Mine has a smaller spot, but it kind of rubs off if you were to rub hard on it....
I haven't tried, but if it rubs off like that, alcohol should make short work of it.
Recent.... Lizard Man
Wanted.... NA She-Ra, Jitsu....
Needed.... Dragstor
Oh man, did I forget to use these [sarcasm][/sarcasm] again? Sorry....
Check here for my My collection page, MOTU and more!
I really hope mines don't have it, as they surely come by the end of this month...fingers crossed!
I have 4 figures and none of mine have it.
It's all about being polished when it counts!
Mine has it, not really sure what its supposed to be though
Very slight on mine.
Top Ten MOTUC wants: Sagitar, Great Black Wizard, Fang-or, Dragstor, Skeletor's Skeleton Warriors, Despara, Odiphus, Illumina w/Sleetah, Lady Slither, Tuvar & Baddrah 2-pack
so faint don't see it there unless I really look
Skeleton-Warriors, Ra-Jar, Spinwit, Rock Golem, Evil Seed, Lord Masque, Prahvus, General Tartaran, Hawke, Slob-Boar, King Agho, Hunga the Harpy, Sh'gora, Masks of Power Demons, Nocturna, Lizzor, Horde Wraiths, Sagitar, Crimson Fury, Lodar, Vizar, Angast, Negator, Melaktha, ABC Giants, Stridor
Although there is shading there, I voted no because it is not noticeable as a spot and is hard to make out the color difference. When I looked at it I actually thought, "now I understand how Toyguru could have said he opened 10 figures and none of them had a black spot on the net."
Yes, mine has the black spot/ shadowing on it.
Mine does not have it either.
Mine kind of does but I don't plan on removing the cape so I'm not really bothered.
yes but its directly under her hair and you dont see it at all when shes wearing it. and since i dont care about her at all (i bought it and would have as a collector) spot doesnt bother me.
mostly since its hidden im good. had it been on one corner of her cape yeah id be mad
Yes, a very dark and very visible one at that (her hair doesn't cover the eyesore).

Mine has a dark spot. I'd call it dark blue rather than black. I'll check to see if it can come off...

Heretical Vintage Purist and Non-Fan Extraordinaire!
Mine has the dreaded black spot, if I feel froggy I'll remove it. But it doesn't bug me that much.
Got one MIB that doesn't seem to have it. I've got another coming loose, so hopefully I'm 2 for 2!
I just got my loose Netossa in the mail, and she does, indeed, have the infamous spot.
So, 50% of my Netossa collection has the spot; however, 100% of me doesn't really care all that much. I honestly wouldn't call it disfiguring...

I voted yes, because it does, but it is very faint and basically if I hadn't known about it i probably wouldn't have noticed
If there's something strange in the neighbourhood, who you gonna' call? HE-MAN!!!!
Yes, but it is barely noticeable.
Not to sound like a creepy cheerleader for Uki, but it's nice to know there is at least one person on this forum who is extremely positive & friendly all the time. I don't think I could be that nice even if you paid me. If we ever give out awards for "forum member of the month", Uki gets my vote. -Mr. Shokoti
it's not paint.
it's the cape degrading because of her hair interacting with the rubber

Ozon Titanium Flat Iron
KailynHairBlondeNormal HairNo Complaints!As advertised, this is the best flat iron for all hair types. My hair is somewhat wavy and very long. I was looking for a flat iron that would not only straighten my hair, but do it in a short amount of time. This product is perfect for that! It leaves my hair silky, shiny, and perfectly straight. Not only does it work for my hair, it provided the same results for my friend Taylor's thick curly hair. I would recommend this Ozon flat Iron to anyone in the market for a high quality appliance.
On a side note, I have dropped my flat iron on the floor multiple times and it has not cracked or chipped once. I've also owned it for 3 years now & it works just as well as the day I got it. It really is worth the money!posted Nov 10, 2012Link to this post -
MarilynHairLight BrownColor Treated HairFine or Thin HairTops All Others I've HadI like the Ozon even better than the last one I had that was listed in your top 10. It softens, straightens, curls (a bit), and gives my thin, fine hair much more body. Am definitely happy with the product.posted Jul 25, 2012Link to this post
HeidiUnited StatesHairAuburnThick or Coarse HairFantastic Straightening IronI love this straightening iron! It is sturdier than the chi irons and heats up so much faster and hotter. I have thick hair and I can still straighten my hair with one pass. I also don't feel like I'm going to bend the iron in half when I clamp down on my hair like I have with other brands.posted Jul 3, 2012Link to this post
MarkieNevadaHairMedium BrownDry HairCurly HairThick or Coarse HairI've Loved ThisI have had this straightener for 3 and a half years. Unfortanutely it is now starting to crash on me :( it won't heat up unless in the upright position. But it has been great for me the past 3 years! I have curly hair and this straightens it super gast. Takes me 15 mins to straighten my long, thick, curly hair. I have and will definitely reccommend this to friends.posted May 30, 2012Link to this post
Farwa H.United StatesHairMedium BrownCurly HairFine or Thin HairChemically Treated HairBest Straightener Ever.I've had this for about three years now so I know what I'm talking about. I read other reviews on this and have no idea what people are talking about. I've used this almost everyday for 3 years and it still works as well as the first day,even after dropping it millions of times. It heats up within 3 minutes,and my hair never gets caught in the edges of the plates. I use this on my moms hair,my sisters,and a few friends,all with different hair types ranging from oily to dry,thick to thin,frizzy,and straight to CRAZY curly,and they all love it. It doesn't dry out your hair,and actually makes it smoother and shiny without it being oily. Best decision I ever made when I ordered this.posted Jan 28, 2012Link to this post
SarahHairBlondeColor Treated HairRelaxed HairSo Amazing!I have had this flat iron for almost 3 years now, and I cannot tell you how much I LOVE it! It still works like the day that I got it. It heats up fast and my hair stay straight or curly forever! I can straighten my hair in the morning, go to class all day, put my hair up for work, and when I take in down it is still as straight as when I first did it. This also my be do somewhat to my hair spry, but lesser straighteners did not do the same. LOVE LOVE LOVE this straightener!posted Nov 19, 2011Link to this post
Nancy C.North CarolinaHairDark BrownNormal HairCurly HairPretty Decent IronI had the Ozon for about a 1 1/2 years. I really liked it, its glides smoothly down your hair. It does get super hot, my daughter actually burnt the tips of her bangs with it. The only problem I've had that its broken already. The flatiron was dropped several of times so maybe that was the cause of why it isn't working however the warranty is only for a year and this is why I am not giving it a 5 star rating. I now have to buy another iron but am willing to pay a little more and get an iron with a 3 to 4 year warranty. Needless to say I've had to go back to my old iron (which is a Herstyler) that one was been dropped much more times than the Ozon, one of the plates is chipped and it still works but I could definitely feel the difference in the smoothness of the plates. Ozon is much smoother - the Herstyler feels very rough.posted Jul 30, 2011Link to this post
KatieUnited StatesHairLight BrownNormal HairOily HairDecent But Not Worth The 100 Bucks.I ordered it after carefully reading many reviews, considering I'd somehow maintained a Chi for about 2 years and, fearing that it was going to die soon, decided to buy a new flat iron. The reviews made it sound fantastic but unfortunately I've come to find it to only be mediocre. I have normal hair that can be very curly and untamed when air-dried and straight but frizzy when I blow-dry it, so having a straightener really helps to keep my hair sleek, shiny and smooth. The ozon tit. flat iron does an OK job with it, but my problem is that it doesn't feel like it gets hot and it takes about 5 minutes for it to get to a decent level where it can straighten my hair out. Obviously no flat iron is perfect but I was expecting it to be better than this, especially considering my last Chi heated quickly and got the job done quickly. It's probably just my hair since everyone else seems to love the product and the odds that it's a defect is low, but I don't think I'll reorder another one any time soon and will probably just look for another brand when I have the money/run out of patience with this one. It's okay, and it gets the job done, but it's not what I had expected. So if you're expecting an amazingly hot iron to keep your hair in place for +12 hours or more, I'd suggest moving on from this one if your hair sounds like mine.posted Jul 28, 2011Link to this post
Not ImpressedHairBlondeDry HairNot Worth Iti have had this for a year and a half it is terrible my hair is ruined because of it and i dont even straighten my hair everyday... i wish i didnt waste my money on itposted Jul 13, 2011Link to this post
Diane B.Pittsburgh, PAHairMedium BrownCurly HairColor Treated HairFine or Thin HairBest Flat Iron Ever!!Humidity makes my hair frizz like crazy! I have a thick head of hair, but the strands are thin. I also color my long hair and am afraid of "frying" it. I had tried a $30 flat iron with so-so results. It also took a long time to straighten my hair. I was looking into buying a PM flat iron, but saw this one was rated higher so I bought it. What a difference the plates make on gliding over my hair!! It also takes much less time to so my hair. Its adjustable thermostat is wonderful! I only need to put it to 320 degrees to get my hair to be straight and shiny. I would recommend skipping less expensive flat irons and just purchase this one.posted May 15, 2011Link to this post

Groundbreaking BMW i8 technologies are now available across the BMW lineup.
Headlights, evolved. Adaptive LED Headlights follow your every move. As soon as you turn the steering wheel, these lights turn with you, providing optimal road illumination in every condition. LED illumination makes traffic signs and other objects on the road easier to see, while also reducing eye fatigue to help you get through those long night drives. And the Selective Beam automatically controls your high beams to avoid blinding other drivers.
Keep your eyes on the road ahead. With all your essential driving information like current speed, navigation, and collision warnings projected on the windshield in your direct line of sight, you can keep your eyes where they belong — on the road. It even displays current radio stations and music tracks so you'll never miss your favorite song.
Get the best angle, from different angles. Stay fully aware of your surroundings with cameras built into the front, rear, and sides of the vehicle. This technology offers you a 360-degree view of your surroundings, including video images of approaching traffic shown directly on the Control Display. Not the best at parallel parking? Never fear. The Surround View Camera System gives you interactive track lines to follow so you can easily steer your way into the tightest of spots. Now blind spots will truly be something of the past.
See in the dark. Even when you can't see. BMW Night Vision lets you see up to 900 feet in the dark. It also detects pedestrians that may be unknowingly looming in the shadows and shines a spotlight on them to keep everyone safe.
Turn your BMW into a mobile device on wheels. You can seamlessly bring things like contacts, playlists, and important information along for every drive by simply syncing your phone with your BMW. And with apps like Twitter and Facebook, you can always stay connected to your social world, even from behind the wheel.
Sustainable exhilaration. A more efficient vehicle means a more exhilarated driver. Innovations that combine performance and efficiency are what make every BMW an Ultimate Driving Machine.®

Alpha-phase preview of upcoming site redo
Official Announcement
I am happy to announce that we are now in beta testing for the new CatholicMatch.com device compatible (known as responsive design) website upgrade. Mike, Jason & Nathan have been working very hard for the past several months to keep CatholicMatch in front of the rapidly changing trends. This new udate is meant to do primarily one thing and ONE thing only. Allow anyone to use CatholicMatch from any device they choose. Any smart phone, tablet, laptop or desktop computer. All of the changes we have made up to this point is so that the site WORKS on all devices.
We are asking for your input in this process, one that is critical to the long term survival of CatholicMatch. As such we need your help in giving us constructive feedback primarily in the areas of how the site works for you on different devices. While we are happy to listen to feedback on "design" that is not our main focus right now because the design is purely so things work. Please use the site on your phone, tablet and computer and let us know what is working and what is not working or if there is something that is different that confuses you. Comments such as "I hate this, go back to the old site." "This is terrible." "If it isn't broken don't fix it." will be removed. We want and need your helpful input. The facts are clear that more and more people are using phones/tablets to connect online and we want to make sure CatholicMatch is staying current or ahead of the trends.
Although in the future we will provide and app for iPhone & Android the step we are taking now is much more critical and will serve as the foundation for any apps or mobile upgrades in the future. Thank you for your help!
Few personal thoughts from me ;)
I will admit it is always tough to put your hard work "out there" for other people to critique but we definitely want your feedback for what we've been up to for the past 4 months.
Here's the context: we have 3 developers here at CatholicMatch. There is a limited amount of code that we can maintain while still trying to move forward. As it currently stands, we have 3 versions of the site: regular, mobile, and a modified for ipad version. That is too much, and all three experiences suffer - mobile has a fair amount of functionality removed, ipad is hard to read.... it's a fairly long and obvious list.
So, here is our attempt to move to a "responsive" layout - one that uses the exact same code for mobile, tablet, and laptop/desktop views. It's not perfect yet - but hopefully this is enough to excite our members a bit and help us push it the last 10% of the way.
Link to the preview:
Profile page has been redone significantly, We significantly changed the layout of the profile information so that it works with mobile and it is presented in more easy to read format. You can see an example here:
If you have any difficulties or find something that's broken, let us know - and at the very top of the screen you should see a green bar - it will say something like "Desktop - 979px to 1199px" or "Widescreen - 1200px & up" - include that, so I know what size your screen was at the time.
A few things in progress:
The photo manager needs some TLC. That's next on my list.
The forum stream is throwing a javascript error.

Cmd. Sgt. Maj. Chris Faris and wife Lisa have met with special operations troops and families across the country to discuss their struggles as a couple and what others can do to save their marriage. / Matt A. Marriott for USA TODAY
TAMPA — The nations most elite fighting forces celebrated this year in film and best-selling books are under more emotional strain after a decade of war than commanders realized, according to the senior non-commissioned officer for special operations.
A tragic part of that is record suicides this year, says Command Sgt. Maj. Chris Faris.
According to Pentagon data, there were 17 confirmed or suspected suicides this year among commandos or support personnel through Dec. 2, compared with nine suicides each of the past two years.
Thats a suicide rate among these troops of about 25 per 100,000, comparable to a record rate this year in the Army and higher than a demographically adjusted civilian suicide rate.
What were struggling with is, OK, what the heck is going on? Faris says.
These guys have been under tremendous pressure, says Kim Ruocco, who assists families of special operations troops who commit suicide. They have given over and over again without complaining ... and then, when they do have issues, spend a lot of time hiding it.
The problems arise as popular media shower attention on these troops, particularly the famed SEAL Team 6 whose killing of Osama bin Laden led to best-selling books and the film Zero Dark Thirty.
A report last month by U.S. Special Operations Command which oversees 66,000 servicemembers including the Armys secretive Delta Force, Navy SEALs, Army Green Berets and Rangers cites an increase in domestic and family relational and behavioral problems, substance abuse and self-medication problems, risk-taking behavior, post-traumatic stress and suicide.
Faris says, Its worse than we thought. But he added that despite signs of strain, this select category of troops remains capable of meeting any missions they are given.
Ruocco, a Tragedy Assistance Program for Survivors (TAPS) director, says she has worked with the families of a Green Beret and a Navy SEAL who killed themselves this year.
These guys have worked so hard to get to the level they are, to get to the skill level and respect level and the loyalty level, that help-seeking becomes really something that they avoid, Ruocco says.
In some cases, help isnt sought until something goes terribly wrong such as a marital separation or a drunken driving arrest, she says. All of the sudden, the guys so sick, its almost too late because their world is falling apart, Ruocco says.
The pace of training and war, with operators deploying a dozen or more times to combat since 9/11, left troops and their families losing faith with commanders who appeared insensitive, according to an internal review of the stress issue.
Demand for special operations forces is expected to remain high even with the end of the Iraq War and the Afghan conflict winding down.
In response this year, commanders have created new programs, directives and resources aimed at easing the strain, and worked to ensure that troops know their leaders care about them.
I hear you! Navy Adm. William McRaven, head of Special Operations Command, wrote to troops early this year. He later issued a directive guaranteeing them, in a two-year period, at least 250 unrestricted days with their families, free of war, training or other interruptions.
A waiver to reduce the promised time off can only be approved by a general officer. The program will be fully in place by 2014, says Faris, McRavens senior enlisted adviser.
Navy commanders held more group sessions to speak with SEALs about issues such as alcohol abuse or suicide awareness.
A centerpiece program, first reported by USA TODAY in April, were visits to commando bases across the country by Faris and his wife, Lisa. A former Delta Force operator who spent a cumulative six years at war in Iraq or Afghanistan, Chris Faris talked openly to troops and families about his own marital crisis. Lisa Faris told her side of the story.
People relate to it very well, says Steve Gilmore, family support director at Naval Special Warfare Command, of the sessions held before Navy SEALs and their spouses. Youll see heads nodding all over the room and elbows in the ribs.
Chris and Lisa Faris have done more than six dozen events for special operations troops in the Army, Navy, Air Force and Marines.
Lisa Faris says spouses e-mail her or servicemembers walk up after a session ends and discuss their own dire marital circumstances and ask whether it is too late to fix them.
I just tell them its never too late, she says. For them to share their stories and personal relationships with me is a door opened.
Chris Faris says that he believes the problem of a fraying special operations force is turning a corner.
For the first time, I see hope, he says. I definitely see hope for our families, and its hope in the fact that, yes, (the problem) is recognized and two, its going to change.

Merry Christmas iMore,
Thank you for all your hard work!! I would like the new iPad so I could use it to evaluate my students and for my graduate school work.
Happy New Year,
If Santa somehow slipped up and didn't give you the iPhone, iPod, or iPad of your dreams this year, if he got lost using maps, if he was smart enough to realize you really did need those educational gifts, clothes, or vegetables instead, or if you did indeed get what you wanted, but would love the chance to give an iOS device to someone else who could really use one, iMore's giving you a second chance!
(Technically one (1) $350 U.S. Apple Store gift certificate for you to buy (or put towards) whichever Apple device or devices you wish!)
We'll announce winners next week. Ho. Ho. Ho!
Enter NOW!

Merry Christmas iMore,
Thank you for all your hard work!! I would like the new iPad so I could use it to evaluate my students and for my graduate school work.
Happy New Year,
I really want to win this so i can get my girlfriend an iPad Mini because I didn't get to get her one because of an emergency that came up and took my Christmas money. :'(
I would use the gift card to get an iPad mini and give it to my cousin. He has a developmental disability and the iPad would be very useful in helping keep him focused and help him work towards his education.
please please imore team please i beg you,i beg you please grant my iphone 5 wish!!! please please upto infinite times!!!!
Hey there iMore. I'm a brand new member who registered just for this opportunity. I've followed you via Flipboard for iPhobe 5 for quite some time. I'd like an iPad Mini 32GB w/ LTE BY Verizon. I have a MacBook Air I am selling bc I want the mini so much. It's the perfect size, weight and look that the original iPad should've been. The 9.7 is great but a little too impractical. The 7.9" is absolutely the perfect size. I really hope I win, but if not, we can still be friends! ;)
Any iOS device would be a dream come true for me, because i never HAD one. but if I ever win this i would rather give it to my mom and dad as a gift. My dad has worked abroad for my studies, and the least i could do to make him proud is study the hardest.
Let me win this so i could give my parents an iphone, the most amazing phone so that they could communicate easier and faster :) thankyou!
ill be wishing, praying and hoping for this.
Since I received 2 cases for my iPad mini for Christmas, I'd get another mini, and give the set to family.
I really need to win this for my wife. She deserves it and wants one more than anything else. Please choose us and thank you for this opportunity. Imore you guys rule.
I would live an iPad for schooling. The few 1990s windows desktops we have at the school are, well, 1990s windows desktops.
My new job bought me an iphone 4s because all of their managers are issued one. Unfortunately, that left my wife with her old flip phone from 2004. We tried to get her a new iphone but the carrier demanded a $500 deposit that we cant afford. I would love to be able to get my wife a new iphone in white. It would make her Christmas.
I'd like to have a brand new iPad!! My iPad has been out of date and sometime makes me mad. Thanks iMore! :)
Looking to finally win a sweet new iPad mini, I have twins with autism and have a device like this would help. There are apps that help and small enough to travel with. Best of luck to you all and happy holidays.
I would like the new iPad to be able to use the newer applications. I have an older iPod touch that will not let me download any application that requires ios 4.3 or newer.
I would like the ipad mini, because im a broke college student who would love the chance to carry around all my: books, notes, and lectures in a light device. Please mobile nations.
I would use the gift card for an ipad mini because I'm a Trekkie and it's the closest thing to a functional "padd" that they used to carry around. Just right in size and light as a feather! Make it so...
I want a new IPad mini because I gave mine to my granddaughter for Christmas. Her mother has fallen on some hard times so she didn't get much else from Santa.
Got a first gen ipad from my boss... Used and abused. Would really love an ipad mini with cameras. Fml
A new iPad mini please! I just would love to win once in my life one of these. I would be a complete person.
I would like an iPad mini. I don't have a computer and will be starting school within a month. Thank you and merry Christmas
want an ipad mini so i can carry it around with me, I was sufficiently impressed, more than I was expecting to be. I'd trade my iPod touch for this! the ipad 3 is too big!
I would like to get a MacBook Pro so that I can do the different design and web projects for the business I am starting. My Dell laptop that I've had for 4 years just isn't cutting it ha. Merry Christmas and happy holidays!
I would like an iPhone 5 because it's the best and I'd hoped to get one this year. HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!!
MacBook Pro retina... My wife took my computer, so it would be nice to have some extra money to put towards a computer!!
I would like an iPad mini for my mom because she isn't as mobile as she used to be and can't get to church but maybe once or twice a year. She could could use the iPad for reading her bible (since she's up in age and the print in her bible is getting hard to read). And my she could view my brothers sermons on there. It would also come in handy to keep her entertained and informed more so than her tv. And it's lightweight and it'll be easy for her to handle. If you guys could bless her with that I'd be so grateful. Thanks for listening.
Would love an iPad with Retina. My grandmother had been mentioning how much she wanted an iPad for awhile now and my mom planned on getting her one, so I decided to forego major Christmas gifts this year so my mom could afford to purchase my grandmother an iPad with Retina. We gave it to her today and she loves it! College student here, so would love it for textbooks and easier notetaking in class as well as all the cool things it does! :-)
I want an iPad mini because I'm a student and need it most for doing lessons or reading books and much more...please make my dream come true
I would love to get an iPhone 5 for my dad because he is the only one in our familymwithnout one and it would be nice to all be one iOS!
In all honesty, I would like to win the prize. Not entirely for selfish reasons. While I'd enjoy a new idevice as much as the next guy, if I win I intend to use half of the money to donate towards our jailbreak magicians, those guys that allow us to customize our iphones, ipads, ietc to suit our every digital need. May it help to get a new A5+ jailbreak to the masses, or merely as a beacon of hope that there are still people in the community that truly value your work.
I'd like an Iphone 5. Color doesn't matter compared to the experience of an Apple product. There's only so much you can learn and understand from reviews compared to hands-on use for a week.
I love helping people, mostly when it comes to choosing a device that's best for them. I've used Android and Windows Phone so those I could always give my pros and cons on. It's always the Iphone where I can't say anything since I really don't know what it's really like.
I would love an ipad or ipad mini! It would make it so much easier to get some reading done as well as get myself up to date on technology!
I have an iphone amd that is why i got my mum an ipad. But after purchasing, setting up and playing with it a bit I now realise I neeeeed an ipad. Editing photos, FaceTime and of course reading your great articles are much more fun on a bigger screen :)
An iPad mini, because it would fit perfectly on the pulpit I use to preach from every Sunday and Thursday at the church I pastor. Thx
My iPad. 1 does not cut the mustard anymore, thus I would like to win a new one from I more. I need face time.
hi i'm from iran and i love to have an iphone 5 but because of restriction there is a few of them here and very expansive 32 GB iphone 5 is about 1500 dollars :(
I would like an iPhone 5 64Gb. I use my iPhone all the time for everything. Unfortunately I've been running out of space a lot these days.
Hi guys i would love any apple device because my blackberry playbook was just a waste of money... And we work hard for our money!
I want iPhone,doesn't matter which one I want it to be an iPhone,simply because my Android smartphone is lagging so much, it's driving me nuts every day it's something different if it's not the battery, then it's the screen,if not that than I can't open this app because it's incompatible with my phone and so on and so on....and that's why I need an iPhone
I'm looking to get the 32GB iPad Mini black/slate with cellular to replace my aging original iPad that is still stuck on iOS 5 and keeps crashing half my apps.
I want an iPad Mini to replace my 5 years old Nokia smartphone...'Coz I'm being left behind and this would be a comeback....Thanks iMore....
iPad mini all the way; I have a three year old little girl who can not put my iPad down and I think it would be the perfect tool for her. She has used my iPad for a while now and it has been a big help in teaching her to count, learn her alphabet, and she is learning now how to spell and write.
Thank you
Iphone 5 please!!! I've been waiting for it for a very long time, still isn't available in my country :(
I would love to get in this contest for an ipad mini. I'm in need of a tablet so that would help greatly. Thank you.
Would love an I Pad mini as I've currently a tablet shaped void in my life and it would be nice to have that filled by the coolest Tech on the market today.. Would also like to say good luck to all..
Well, I suppose I'd get an iPad 4, cause as much as I love my mini, I wouldn't mind a Retina display and extra processing power for all the gaming I do.
I'd love a white iPad mini to replace my ageing desktop PC, the iWork suite is more than enough to meet my requirements, and I'd save lots of space
I would like to have an iPad mini, so I can always take my portfolio with me to show it to my possible future clients :)!
I'd love a Macbook Air as I need a lightweight laptop because I do a lot of travelling, need something ultra portable and the MBA is the best of the best. My last laptop died recently and I can't afford a replacement. Thanks iMore!
Id go for a 32 gb ipad 4 with ATT service (which my phones have). I can forsee getting frustrated if out and about and no wifi available.
I would like the black and slate colored iPhone 5!!! I've wanted it for so long. Its got great features, like the camera with panorama, iOS 6 Maps (flyover), lightning connector, lightweight etc. I can also use it to listen to music, watch movies on the bus, play some games on it etc. Thanks for the giveaway iMore, really appreciate it !! :)
I want an iPad mini for work... A more compact design would be sweet!
Thanks imore... Happy Holidays!
If I won this, then it would be great to get a new black 64gb iPod touch, as my dad lost his old iPod ages ago and never got round to replacing it.
I'd like to get an iPad mini and give my Nexus 7 to my 13-year old autistic son for use as a Netflix machine. Thanks, iMore!
I would love an ipad mini. It is the perfect size, and I would be able to give my current ipad to my parents!
I plan to trek the entire length of the Great Wall of China, visiting and experiencing the culture in different villages as I go. Is it an original idea, no, but I will be documenting my lifetime adventure for future me and mine.
Shock horror, I've never owned an IOS device, so getting my first one, an iPad, seems a great choice to accompany me on my journey.
First hurdle, overcoming my phobia of flying, a 10 hour flight can't be any more scary than a shorter one, can it? Both involve the lunacy of being shot into the atmosphere in a thin metallic (and now plastic) tube!
Well, since you asked nicely. I would like a new Iphone 5, it would complete my transformation to Aplle after switching to an MBP and getting an Ipad.
Thank you
Happy Holidays
I want a iPhone 5, the reason I would like a iPhone 5 is it would help me with school a lot. It would also help me with work because of the fast processor. I would ask for a iPad but I am always on the go, and need something small and fast.
Well I currently have all the apple devices I want and need but after seeing my younger sister over Christmas and the laptop she's using, this would be a good amount that could go towards a new macbook for her... She's a college student and currently is using a Dell Inspiron 1545 that rarely connects to wifi and has to stay plugged in to stay powered on. I would love to take this gift card and use it towards that MacBook she's always wished she had but she never asks for anything... This would be the most amazing prize to win!!!
Good Luck to everyone!!!!!!
I would like an iPad Mini because the arthritis in my hands make it difficult for me to continue to hold and use my full-size iPad. Thanks.
I'd like an iPad mini for my daughter, It would be the best Christmas present!! Good luck and happy holidays everyone. :)
I would love an iPad mini. Would be a great substitute for big bulky books for college. eBooks are here and there anyway, spare me the weight!
Happy holidays iMore
I want an iPad Mini. I teach Children's Church at my Church and would love to load a Bible App on it and teach. The iPad Mini would allow for lightweight carry and be a great new technology gadget that I could pass around for the Kids to play with and enjoy as well.

Miniature Poodle History
- The earliest version of the poodle may have been the barbet, a curly-coated dog found in France, Russia, Hungary, Germany and elsewhere in Europe. The barbet may have descended from Asian herding dogs and water dogs.
- The German version of the barbet became the dog we now know as the poodle.
- The word "poodle" comes from the German word "pfudel," which means "puddle" or "to splash," a reference to the poodle's ability as a water retriever.
The poodle later worked as a circus performer, military dog, guard dog and guide dog. - The poodle's hair cut originated as a working clip for retrieving in cold water. The hair was cropped close to cut down on its weight and drag, but left longer over the head and chest for warmth. Although it's often claimed the hair was left longer on the joints and tail tip for warmth and protection, evidence suggest that the style arose later, as decoration when the poodle became a performing circus dog. Regardless, the clip became more accentuated over time.
- The French aristocracy became enamored with the poodle and adopted it as its own. It eventually became the national dog of France, and to this day many people refer to it as the French poodle, even though it is a German breed.
- Smaller versions were bred in France, and by the late 1800s had been perfected. One of these became the miniature poodle.
- The AKC recognized the poodle in 1887. Only later did they split the breed into three varieties according to size.
- In the 1920s, poodles were so unpopular they all but died out in America. They staged a comeback in the 1930s. They were the most popular breed in America from 1960 to 1982, the longest continuous run of any breed.
- The miniature is the most popular variety.
Miniature Poodle Behavior Concerns
- Makes an affectionate and fun-loving companion.
- Playful and very good with children.
- Friendly to strangers, other dogs and other pets.
- Does best with reward-based training involving food or games.
- Eager to please, bright and responsive, poodles are among the easiest of dogs to train.
- Excels at obedience and agility competitions, therapy dog work, and even contraband detection.
- Some tend to bark a lot, which should be discouraged from an early age.
Miniature Poodle Suggested Exercises
- Makes a lively and alert housedog.
- A walk around the block once or twice daily, plus a vigorous game in the yard, will meet its exercise needs, not counting bathroom breaks.
- Many miniature poodles have been trained to use indoor potty systems.
- Dog parks can work out well as long as Miniature Poodles are not expected to mingle with much larger dogs.
- Games and tricks provide needed mental exercise.
- Swimming is a favored exercise, but a full coat can weigh down a dog.
- Its thick coat provides some protection against cold weather, but its fairly small body size nonetheless makes it vulnerable to the cold.
Miniature Poodle Grooming
- Coat is curly, harsh and dense.
- Brushing and combing every other day is necessary to prevent matting.
- Most people have their dogs professionally clipped every six weeks.
- Most people opt for a sporting clip where the hair is fairly short all over.
- Originally, the poodle's coats were corded, so they hung in long dreadlocks. This takes a lot of work and is difficult to wash, so the style has fallen out of favor.
- Shedding is below average.
- No breed is actually hypoallergenic, but poodles may cause allergies in fewer people compared to other breeds.
- The eyes should be checked regularly for hair or lashes that may irritate their surface.
- Hair growing inside the ears may need to be plucked out or clipped.
Suggested Miniature Poodle Nutritional Needs
- Poodles tend to stay in good weight. The thick coat can sometimes obscure weight problems, so be sure to use your hands to feel.
- Adult dogs should be fed a balanced diet, with restricted calories if the dog starts to gain too much weight
Did you know?
- Grapes and raisins are harmful to dogs.

FINANCIAL SERVICES GUEST BLOG -- DAVID ROBERTSON Thinking about retiring? Timing is key.By DAVID ROBERTSON 4:30 am, November 19, 2012
Folks who retired in 1997 may be having a completely different retirement income experience than people who retired in 2007. Why? Take the example of two hypothetical retirees James and John. James retired in the late 1990's and will average an 8% rate of return over the next 25 years. John retired in the late 2000's and averages the same 8% rate of return over the same time period. If each spends the exact same amount of money during retirement, how can it be that James ends up with plenty of money late in retirement, but John runs out of money nearly halfway through?

To 3D Or Not To 3D: Buy The Right Finding Nemo Ticket
Finding Nemo
was first released nine years ago, it drew widespread praise, not only for its touching story but also for its vibrant and hyper-detailed visuals. The ocean offered the animators an expansive playground to go nuts, and that busyness is present in almost every scene, save a carefully chosen few that use the background stillness to represent loneliness in a way words never could.

Finding Nemo 3D: A Visit To Pixar Studios To Talk About The Animated Adventure's Return To Theaters
Nearly a decade ago, Pixar brought us a story about an anxious clownfish who embarks on a life-altering adventure through the ocean, desperate to find his son, who was snatched up by a fish-collecting dentist. Last month, I had the opportunity to visit Pixar Studios to screen the film ahead of this week's 3D release. Not only was it a dream come true to get to visit Pixar Studios, but getting to go there to see one of my favorite Pixar movies was a treat, to say the least.

Probably of interest for RC too, but mine is primarily static, so this goes in here.
After some research on the net, I find (not too unsurprisingly, given the sensitive nature of the information) that what the Seawolf pumpjet looks like is not clear at all, even approximately.
From what I hear about pumpjet design,
1. it is imperative that stator and rotor have different blade numbers, and both should be prime numbers to avoid vibrations;
2. pumpjets come as either the pre-swirl or the post-swirl version, depending on where they have their stators (in front of the rotor or behind it, resp.). Pre-swirl gives better quietness (=subs), and post-swirl better torque balancing (=torps).
My conjecture:
All models (and their RC adaptations) have stators in front of and behind the rotor, and typically the same number of blades for all. This seems to be incorrect.
Since Seawolf is optimized for quietness, it probably has a pre-swirl design. Assuming that the number of blades is higher than that of a normal propeller (typically 7), the next higher prime number would be 11. Stator blade no. must be different, that means it should be 7 or 13.
Any thoughts of the community on this?
The attached photo shows the Mk. 50 torpedo, which has a post-swirl design with 11 blades on the rotor and 13 on the stator.

text: This seems like it will be a pretty meh year for Comic Con collectibles. Last year Cobra Comander with the Starscream Sky Striker was pretty cool. Actually I think the Shockwave Hiss tank is OK, the problem for me is it doesn't look like the original HISS tanks looked (contrast this to Starscream actually passing for an old style Sky Striker). I googled the Hasbro stuff, and what raised the bar for the Shockwave Hiss tank is that it comes with Destro, a Cobra B.A.T., a briefcase filled with money, mini Energon cubes, and a mini Soundwave in cassette mode with several cassettes. I don't think any of the transformers (including the tank) actually transform though. I didn't think the Starscream Sky Striker did last year either though.

Psychologists have long been aware that most people maintain an irrationally positive outlook on life. Tali Sharot—one of the most innovative neuroscientists at work today—takes this a step further. Optimism, she shows, may in fact be crucial to our existence.
In this absorbing exploration, Sharot takes an in-depth, clarifying look at
• how the brain generates hope and what happens when it fails
• how the brains of optimists and pessimists differ
• why we are terrible at predicting what will make us happy
• how emotions strengthen our ability to recollect
• how anticipation and dread affect us
• how our optimistic illusions affect our financial, professional, and emotional decisions
With its cutting-edge science and its wide-ranging narrative, The Optimism Bias provides us with startling new insight into the workings of the brain and the major role that optimism plays in determining how we live our lives.

Orioles head to Texas for AL Wild Card game
Baltimore couldn't catch the Yankees in the American League East, and in the most stunning reversal of fortune of the late regular season, the Rangers were swept in Oakland and lost the AL West in Game No. 162 on Wednesday.
Now they're the Wild Cards, and neither club has much time to regroup.
The historic, inaugural AL play-in Wild Card game is slated for Friday at 8:37 p.m. ET in Arlington, and the winner will advance to play the Yankees in the AL Division Series. The loser will spend the winter pondering what could have been.
"We have to shake it off," Rangers outfielder David Murphy said of his team's plodding finish to the regular season. "It's not going to be an easy one to shake off, but we don't have the luxury of hanging our heads and feeling sorry for ourselves. We put ourselves in this position."
While both teams are proud of their achievement as postseason contenders, a five-game series provides much more margin for error. Now, in a one-game-take-all situation, everything has to go right.
The Rangers will be counting on their prized rookie Japanese import, Yu Darvish, to give them a good start, and the 26-year-old has obliged in recent days, pitching his best ball down the stretch.
Darvish went 5-1 with a 2.35 ERA in his final eight starts to cement his season record at 16-9. He pitched to a 3.90 ERA in 29 starts overall and struck out 221 batters in 191 1/3 innings. Opposing batters hit .220 off him, good for third in the league.
"I feel extremely good about it," Rangers manager Ron Washington said. "I like the way he's gone out and competed. The way he's competed from the beginning of the year until now. ... He's our big-game pitcher."
Meanwhile, as of a few hours after their season-ending defeat in Tampa Bay, the Orioles hadn't picked their Friday starter, although the two likely candidates for the assignment are left-hander Joe Saunders and righty Steve Johnson.
Johnson, who's 4-0 with a 2.11 ERA in 12 games (four starts), has been suffering from a sore left knee but looked good in a Wednesday bullpen session. He would be a taste of the unknown, given that he has not faced Texas.
Saunders has plenty of experience against Texas, but not much of it was particularly memorable. The southpaw has a career 6.48 ERA in 11 starts against the Rangers and a 9.38 ERA in six games at the Ballpark in Arlington.
Orioles manager Buck Showalter didn't seem terribly concerned either way, admitting that the patchwork nature of the Orioles' staff during the 2012 season has helped define who they are as a club.
"If you look at what's been going on all year, it's been the sum of the pitching staff between [Triple-A] Norfolk and Baltimore," Showalter said.
"We think our No. 1 starter is the guy that's pitching that night."
Orioles: Showalter facing his old team
Arlington is a familiar place for Showalter, who helmed the Rangers in his third Major League managerial go-around from 2003-2006. Four years later after becoming a staple in the broadcasting booth, Showalter landed the job with the Orioles, and now he's here, overseeing the franchise's first playoff berth in 15 years and having a great time doing it.
"I've allowed myself [to have fun]," Showalter said. "This is a great group to be around. They don't let anybody take them too seriously, trust me. I feel real good that they feel real comfortable making sure all of us don't take each other too seriously. Everybody around here is open game [for jokes], and that's the way it should be."
The Orioles have had 19 different players record a pitching win in 2012, one shy of last year's club record. The 2001 team is the only other Orioles team with as many as 19 different players picking up wins. In the AL this year, only Boston had 20 players record a win, while Minnesota, Oakland and Toronto also had 19. San Diego led the Majors with 22.
Catcher Matt Wieters finished the regular season with a career-high 23 home runs. His 43 home runs over the last two seasons are tied with Atlanta's Brian McCann for the most in the Majors by a catcher. Wieters had a career-high 83 RBIs this year (two as the DH) and his 147 RBIs as a catcher over the last two years are the most in the AL and second in the Majors to Miguel Montero's 172.
Rangers: Beltre set for 3B return
Adrian Beltre is known for arguing with his skipper when his name isn't in the lineup, so he was penciled in at designated hitter for Wednesday's game in Oakland because of a strained left shoulder. It was the third straight game in which he had started at DH, but expect that to end in Friday's Wild Card play-in.
Beltre, who went 3-for-4 in Wednesday's loss, is a Gold Glove third baseman, and Washington said he expects him to be back at the hot corner against the Orioles and throughout the playoffs if the Rangers advance.
"I just wanted to give him another day and make sure he is fine," Washington said Tuesday. "He took ground balls the other day and looked good. I just wanted to give him another day."
The Rangers have lost three straight games, five of six, seven of nine and nine of the last 13 games, the longer span beginning Sept. 21. The team has won consecutive games once in this span (Sept. 23-24).
Leave it to Josh Hamilton to put a bright spin on things. After losing Wednesday's game in part because of his costly error in dropping a Yoenis Cespedes pop fly, Hamilton said maybe getting knocked into the Wild Card game could be a good thing for the Rangers.
"The last two years we won the division and came up short," Hamilton said. "Maybe this time we'll come in like the Cardinals last year [as the Wild Card] and get it done."
Worth noting
The Orioles went 2-5 against Texas this year and were outscored, 56-24, in those games. Baltimore lost two of three against the Rangers in Arlington this year.
Darvish did not face the Orioles this year. He went 4-2 against the rest of the American League East.
