3rd grade (U.S.)
We know you've been rocking through 2nd grade adding and subtracting all kinds of whole numbers (up to 2 digits, right?). That's awesome! In 3rd grade math we want you to start using bigger numbers and start multiplying and dividing, too. By the way, did you know that some numbers aren't actually "whole?" They're "partially whole." We call them fractions! We want you to start playing around and having fun with those, too. There's also area, perimeter, and place value to be discovered. Whew. We have so much to do and can't wait to do it with you. Let's go!
Addition and subtraction
Learn how to add and subtract three-digit numbers by thinking about ones, tens, and hundreds.
Multiplication and division
Multiplication and division are two of the most important operations to understand in math. If you drink 2 cups of water, 5 times, how much water have you drunk? If you need to divide 9 slices of cake between 3 friends, how much cake does each friend get?
- Concept of multiplication and division
- Applying multiplication and division
- Two-step word problems
- Multiplying by tens
This will be your first introduction to the idea of fractions. You'll learn what they are and what they can represent. Then in 4th and 5th grades, you'll learn to compute with them.
- Fractions intro
- What fractions mean
- Fractions on the number line
- Fractions and whole numbers
- Equivalent fractions
- Equivalent fractions on the number line
Measurement and geometry
In 2nd grade, you learned to measure lengths. Now we can measure the length around the edge of an object (perimeter) and how much "space" something takes up on a flat surface (area).
Place value and rounding
Going a bit deeper with our understanding of place value from 2nd grade. We'll apply this knowledge to learn to round things to the nearest 10 and 100.
Expressions and patterns
We'll cover a few odds and ends here. In particular, you'll see whether order matters when you multiply and divide. We'll also explore some mathematical patterns.
Addition and subtraction
Learn how to add and subtract three-digit numbers by thinking about ones, tens, and hundreds.Community Questions

Adding with regrouping within 1000
You're somewhat familar with adding, say, 17 + 12 or 21 + 32, but what happens for 13 + 19? Essentially, what happens when I max out the "ones place"? In this tutorial, we'll introduce you to the powerful tool of regrouping and why it works. Common Core Standard: 3.NBT.A.2
Using regrouping to subtract within 1000
You can subtract 21 from 45, but are a bit perplexed trying to subtract 26 from 45 (how do you subtract the 6 in 26 from the 5 in 45). This tutorial is your answer. You'll see that we can essentially "regroup" the value in a number from one place to another to solve your problem. This is also often called borrowing (although it is like "borrowing" sugar from your neighbor in that you never give it back). Common Core Standard: 3.NBT.A.2

29 year old man | Pittsburgh, PA, USA | Seeking women 23-28 within 50 miles
Spontaneous trip, wanna go?
My bullet points are below if you don't feel like reading another profile. Here is my super awesome wowtastic rundown I grew up in the North Hills of Pittsburgh, and lived in Colorado for the past few years. I recently moved back to Pittsburgh to settle around the family I grew up with. Living in Colorado was a dream, and all my hobbies that I love were breath taking while I lived in the rocky mountains. So I'm back in PA, and believe me I still want to travel around, but PA is where I want to establish the rest of my life. I want to eventually design and build my own house and settle down with an awesome chick. I like to think I am a laid back guy. It takes a lot to get me worked up. I tend to make people laugh once they know I'm not serious. Sarcasm is a regular occurrence and humor is an important part of every day. For fun in the day I'll be riding my dirtbike, walking my dog or trying to find cool new places to see. At night the fun could range from redbox to bar crawl to bon fire. You'll never see me in an affliction or ed hardy type of shirt, and if I'm rocking a flat brim, trust me I'm joking. BULLET TIME Likes: -sushi -dog walks -sarcasm -shooting guns -bon fires -teaching people new things -the fall -craft beer -live music -mountains -eating out -eating in Dislikes -smokers -lazy people -people who push their religion on me -peeple who don't speek or spel good I'd love to meet someone cool and if it goes further, great.
Camping , Coffee and conversation , Cooking , Dining out , Movies/Videos , Music and concerts , Exploring new areas , Playing sports , Travel/Sightseeing , Wine tasting
Auto racing / Motorcross, Hockey, Other types of exercise, Running, Skiing, Walking / Hiking
I exercise 3-4 times per week.
I have Dogs
Demo is my girl, she is a rescue dog from Erie when I went to school there. She is really smart, well trained and takes up most of the bed. She is a border collie mixed with a few other breeds, but is ALWAYS ready for a good time.
Some other viewpoint
My favorite place in the world is Summit County in CO, I lived there for a few years, locally I enjoy The occasional night in the south side, or an afternoon cruising north park.
Penn State Erie, The Behrend College, Erie, PA
Sushi, driving in snow, the smell of fresh cut grass, live music, danger, the color blue, my dog, sunshine and a lack of wind.
I like to ride dirtbikes, ride mountain bikes and spend time in the woods hiking or rock climbing. Movies and cooking are some indoor favorites.

What is it about something as simple as sitting still and watching our breath that evokes panic, fear, and even hostility? No matter how many reports there are proving the mental, emotional, and physical value of being quiet, there seems to be an even greater number who refuse to give it a try.
Meditation can certainly be challenging, and even more so if we are uncertain as to why we are doing it. It can seem very odd to sit there just listening to the incessant chatter in our head, and we easily get bored if we do nothing for too long, even if it's only 10 minutes.
After years of hearing a plethora of reasons why people find it hard to meditate, we have whittled it down to just a few:
1. I'm too busy, I don't have the time. Which can certainly be true if you have young children and a full-time job, and all that these entail. However, we are only talking about maybe 10 minutes a day. Most of us spend more time than that reading the newspaper or idly surfing the web. It only appears like we don't have the time because we usually fill every moment with activity and never press the pause button.
2. I find it really uncomfortable to sit still for too long. If you are trying to sit cross-legged on the floor then, yes, it will get uncomfortable. But you can sit upright in a firm and comfortable chair instead. Or, you can do walking meditation, or yoga, or tai chi. Moving meditation can be just as beneficial as sitting.
3. My mind won't stop thinking: I can't relax. I can't meditate. I just can't! My mind will not get quiet; it flies all over the place! My thoughts are driving me mad! I'm trying to get away from myself, not look inside. Sound familiar?
Surprisingly enough, trying to stop your mind from thinking is like trying to stop the wind – it's impossible. In the Eastern teaching the mind is described as being like a drunken monkey bitten by a scorpion because, just as a monkey leaps from branch to branch, so the mind leaps from one thing to another, constantly distracted and busy. So, when you come to sit still and try to quiet your mind, you find all this manic activity going on and it seems insanely noisy. It is actually nothing new, just that now you are becoming aware of it, whereas before you were immersed in it, unaware that such chatter was so constant.
This experience of the mind being so busy is very normal. Someone once estimated that in any one thirty-minute session of meditation we may have upward of three hundred thoughts. Years of busy mind, years of creating and maintaining dramas, years of stresses and confusion and self-centeredness, and the mind has no idea how to be still. Rather, it craves entertainment. It's not as if you can suddenly turn it off when you meditate, it just means you are like everyone else.

A group trying to find a Harlem home for disabled men has shrunk its bid for space amid opposition.
Community Board 10 said they wanted reconsider their objection to the plan by Community Options.
CB 10 will reexamine its 2008 moratorium against "special interest" housing in Harlem.
Community Options, however, says CB 10 is suffering from a case of "Not in My Backyard."
CB10 wants to give Rucker Park, home to NBA and street ball legends alike, historic designation.
Community Board 10 is weighing whether to require Harlem bars close at 2 a.m. instead of 4 a.m.

3Around the Fur
Umm.. Adrenaline wasn't really better than this.
4Koi No Yokan
Listen to poltergeist gauze and goon squad then try and pick a album better than this
I just like tempest, leathers, and rosemary together in one album
I just believe this band just can't make a bad album
5Diamond Eyes
There's no song on this album that isn't perfect.
Every Song on this Album is perfect.
Sextape and Diamond Eyes are two of their best songs.
This is a album that you need to listen to for awhile
The best song (to me) are Minerva and Deathblow which are rather slower deftones song are really really great
Overall this album is solid but not the best I think it should be 4, but that's my opinion

The first album I got of them, and it's really good. I love the artwork and the way it fits the music
7Saturday Night Wrist
Saturday Night Wrist is definitely better than the albums ranked 3-6. There is maybe only one bad song on this album while almost every other consists of 2 or more not so great songs.

53 year old woman | Greenbelt, MD, USA | Seeking men 40-50 within 15 miles
A Realist
Hello and thanks for stopping by. My closest friends would say that I have a warm heart, compassionate, loyal, smart, and a good listener. One of my true joys is watching God's beauty - sky, mountains, water, trees. I enjoy writing (currently working on a manuscript), reading when I have time, listening to music, swimming, dining, and traveling. I love most sports, and yes I'm a die-hard Redskins fan! Family and friends are very important, as is my my spiritual path. I would like to meet a guy who is confident in himself; self sufficient; honest, laid back but observant; intelligent, and has a sense of humor. An ideal first meet would be a walk in the park (preferably my favorite park...i will tell you later) on a crisp fall day with a cup of tea or coffee and good conversation.
Dining out , Fishing/Hunting , Movies/Videos , Museums and art , Music and concerts , Exploring new areas , Playing cards , Political interests , Religion/Spiritual , Travel/Sightseeing , Watching sports , Wine tasting
Basketball, Billiards / Pool, Dancing, Football, Inline skating, Swimming, Walking / Hiking
I exercise 1-2 times per week.
I like Other
I once had a ferret and I loved him so much!
No one particular place, as long as I'm having fun.
University of Maryland, College Park, College Park, MD
Walking in the park, being in the water, sitting on the beach or looking at mountains, watching "Super Soul Sunday (Oprah's network)," eating out and dancing, spending time with my boys, writing when I can.
Honestly, this has been quite difficult to answer...which means I need to get a life! LOL. I love attending sports events, outdoor activities, taking in some music, dancing, and a great meal.

The reverse has a central inscription that reads PURE NICKEL, surrounded by a wreath of cotton and corn. FIVE CENTS is separated above and below with seven stars left and six right. Struck in nickel with a plain edge. This is one of several patterns from this year that uses different alloys of nickel and/or copper, showing their composition on the reverse within the wreath. This pure nickel composition is magnetic, and it is believed that more than a dozen are known today. This particular piece is fully struck throughout, quite an unusual occurrence given the hardness of pure nickel. Also, there are no die cracks evident on either side. The fields are very deeply mirrored and the devices show generous mint luster; however, no cameo designation is indicated on the PCGS insert. An exceptionally pleasing example of this important pattern issue.(#62120) (PCGS# 62120)

Easy Steps for Going Green
Easy Steps for Going Green
Beth Weinhouse
Shared by Andrea
If you're like a lot of new parents, you may not be ready to ditch disposable diapers for cloth, or grow and blend your own organic baby food, but you still want to be environmentally responsible and help your baby grow up that way, too.
Fortunately, contrary to what a lot of people think, it's generally not more expensive or even more time-consuming to adapt a green lifestyle. In fact, with a few exceptions – like the price of some organic food – it's often both more economical and healthier to adapt a planet-saving, health-promoting lifestyle.
Best of all, deciding to raise your baby green isn't an all-or-nothing proposition. You can choose only the advice that works for you and your family. Here are some suggestions for easy ways to go green.
Even if you use disposable diapers, you can take a few steps to minimize changing waste.
When you're home, use soft, wet washcloths instead of disposable wipes to clean dirty bottoms. And when you're out with your baby, keep biodegradable disposal bags in your diaper bag to reduce the amount of plastic you throw away.
Try to clean green.
You don't have to shop in specialty stores to buy affordable, organic cleaning supplies. Most supermarkets and discount stores carry at least a few. Better yet, use natural cleaners like vinegar, baking soda, and lemon juice. Using these cleaners will protect your baby from toxic fumes and will keep harmful chemicals from leaching into the air and water supply.
Embrace hand-me-down clothing.
There's no need to buy babies complete new wardrobes, especially considering how quickly they outgrow their clothes. If you have friends or relatives with older children, see if they can pass their children's outgrown clothing to you. If you don't know anyone who can give you clothes, check out secondhand stores and yard sales. Since babies don't wear a clothing size for very long, many used baby clothes are practically new.
When you buy baby furniture, try to purchase items that will grow with your baby.
Some cribs, for example, convert into toddler beds.
High Chairs
can morph into booster seats. Buy nursery dressers that toddlers and older children will still be happy to put their clothes into. The longer you can use things, the less waste you create!
And just remember, even if you don't embrace the green lifestyle completely, anything you do will be good for your baby and good for the planet your baby will grow up on.

Astronomy, art, games, and a cup of coffee.
I am really glad that you made this post. It caught my eye because I had a similar experience. Little back story about me. Ultima Online was my first mmo back in 1999 and I absolutely love the game. Played it for years and still dabble from time to time. Wow was my second serious mmo that I played and even got my girlfriend at the time to play it with me. In between UO and Wow;Wow and now I have always been looking for that next mmo to capture me like UO and Wow did. I bought and played almost every major released game and always ended up quiting because the experience was now what I expected. Then I would await the next game. After doing this for several years, I basically gave up on mom's. A lot has happened since. My career took off, my wife and i got married, then bought a new house, got a dog and basically had not much time to game anymore. Until recently when we both had an urge to have a mmo to play. So we both came back to Wow and I decided that there is no other game like wow. They just don't have that feel, which is difficult to describe. We only get to play about a couple of hours a week, but it helps us not get burnt out and to just enjoy the game.

Umm...you proved their point. That is where you said you wanted 9 years of content. WoW did not launch with any of that. No LFR, no areans, no BG's, a single raid which was bugged to hell and back, no heroic dungeons, no group scenarios and a few dungeons. Current games launch with more endgame content than WoW did when it launched. That is why they said you are expecting current games to launch with 9 years worth of content by comparing it to all WoW currently has. No game is going to launch with that much. They will build it over time just like WoW did. But today's customer base is not as patient and continually expects the same in the launch of a game in comparison to something that has dozens of pathces and several expansions. Not going to happen. So even with your clarification their point stands.
As for the OP, grats on figuring on what you enjoy. Can't say I'm in the same boat as I am WoW burned out and just don't find it worth the time/money investment any more. We all have our own tastes though and wish you luck in your gaming.

For me WoW was the game that opened my eyes of the greatness of MMO's. Been playing this game since vanilla and have only taken small breaks from it. I can't say that I like how convienant they've made the game, but what modern game isn't. The only real big gripe of mine about this game is the dailies, so sick of em what a poor solution to slow down content locusts.

Logic be damned!
I can pretend that I had more fun and spent more time in UO or E&B or SWG before WoW came out and I started playing that...
I could pretend that I had as much fun with FFXI and EVE and WAR and EQ2 and RIFT and GW and GW2 and SWTOR...
But it just wouldn't be true.
Almost 9 years (off and on) is a lot of time though, I'm ready for a replacement.
I actually joined this site a couple of months before WoW came out to get more information on the game and try and find some inside-beta info.
I've probably been lurking for way, way too long.

You're talking sPvP for GW2 in that you don't like how it's all unlocked? Well, that's because it's designed to be as balanced as possible so that the player's skill takes part in the gameplay far more than some arbitrary gear or stat based on multiple other factors. Just....skills. Which is a good thing when it comes to a competitive PvP state of game.
However, I'm unsure as to whether or not you tried out the game's WvWvW when you played for that 3-day Free Weekend Trial? That's the PvP mode where your gear, your level, and all that jazz actually matter to do better within. It's also where there are far larger fight than simple 8vs8, 10vs8, or what have you. Heck, with the WvWvW Ranks they added two Patches ago there's now a more long-term permanent progression for that state of game.
Like how you said that the graphics are the best on the market for the genre, because that's so very much true. (http://www.ign.com/articles/2013/05/06/nine-visually-impressive-pc-games-you-can-play-right-now). It's going to get better now that they're beaching up the Southsun area for some tropical summer content to be added.
Curious as to what spring/summer content WoW brings to it's PAYING MONTHLY SUBSCRIBERS? I know of the Darkmoon Fair, which has been a systematically rehashed content since 7 years ago doing a once-monthly thing (do they even include lvl70ETC playing "I am a Murloc" like they did when it showed up in TBC any more?) Anything else? I've seen the advertisements for 5.3 patch going to PTR....but 5.1 came in November, and 5.2 came in March; that's 3 and 1/2 months between the two patches. There's usually a 2-3 week process for the PTR, so that means 5.3 is expected 21st-28th of May if you're lucky. That would read it being around 2 and 1/2 months between the 5.2 and the 5.3, and supposedly 5.4 is going to be the very last patch of MoP before maintenance? Where's the content? What are they doing with your $15 a month that they charge? Games like GW2, which is B2P w/o subscription, is making games like WoW, which is P2P w/ subscription, look like a joke when it's coming out with content patches every month (or even 2x monthly) and WoW can't come out with only one ever 2 and 1/2 to 3 and 1/2 months.
So, please, enlighten me.....why is "nothing is good as WoW"?

Leafs' Lupul done with KHL: "It was a little worse than I bargained for"
Dec 17, 2012, 1:07 PM EDT
Joffrey Lupul's Russian adventure is over.
That's what the Toronto Maple Leafs forward told Sportsnet's Fan 590 on Monday, saying he wouldn't be returning to KHL Avtomobilist after the holiday break.
"It was probably a little more difficult than I thought, with the language barrier and living in a new country," Lupul explained. "It was a little worse than I bargained for."
Avtomobilist was the worst team in the KHL when Lupul arrived…and the worst team when he left. His presence didn't seem to impact the team's fortunes, if at all — in nine games he scored just 1G-3A-4PTS, and posted a minus-6 rating.
Lupul says he never truly felt comfortable in Russia and wants to get back to playing in North America.
"My heart's here. I want to play here," he said. "I want the season to start back up here, and hopefully I can be part of these meetings and negotiations."
Oh, and here's a great excerpt from the Fan 590 interview:
Lupul told The Fan Monday that he was walking down a Russian street with a new teammate and spotted an open man hole in the middle of the street – no cover. The forward suggested that it might be dangerous, that a pedestrian might fall in.
"Yeah, for sure someone will," responded his KHL teammate.
"They'll sue someone," Lupul said.
"No, they don't really sue people in Russia."
Lupul probably feels comfortable now that he's back in North America, where CBA negotiations have become totally litigious.

- necromerlin - Dec 17, 2012 at 1:31 PM
I don't think it's a coincidence that players are now talking about how horrible playing overseas is now that the litigation started. The NFLPA and NBAPA were able to decertify and attack the antitrust exemptions because there were no comparable options for players to make a living. With all the NHL players that went overseas it is harder to use decertification as a tactic when a significant number of players have found jobs in other leagues.
- ucaneverscorenoughgoals - Dec 17, 2012 at 1:36 PM
I also think that in the states the quality of the hotels these players stay in, the restuarants they eat at, the facilities they practice and play at, and the medical treatment they recieve are taken for granted because many of them don't know any different. And many of the ones who do know different are paid handsomely enough to offset any incovenience by the subpar standards of the amenities previously mentioned overseas

And death and bereavement are hardly the only troubles that this conflict brings to a Palestinian childhood.
The stages of heartbreak are similar to the recognized stages of bereavement: shock, denial, grief, anger, finally acceptance.

continued As part of the program the Ticonderoga Area Chamber of Commerce on Montcalm Street will accept food donations for the local pantry.
Now in its 11th year in North America, Canadian Pacific Railway's two lighted "Holiday Trains" — one in the eastern U.S. and Canada and another in the Midwest — carry live musical shows performed from boxcar stages in an effort to end hunger.
Since 1999, the CP Holiday Train program has raised $5.6 million and generated almost 2.45 million pounds of food donations for local food shelves. Cash donations from North Americans totalled close to $750,000 last year alone.
Performers on the holiday train this year are Willy Porter and Sydney Grigg.
Porter released his debut CD in 1990. In 1994, he released his second independent CD, "Dog Eared Dream." The song "Angry Words" became a top-10 staple on Triple AAA radio stations around the country. He would ultimately sign with Private Music/BMG in 1995. European and American tours with Rickie Lee Jones, Tori Amos and The Cranberries followed over the next year and a half.
Porter regained momentum in 1999 when he signed with San Francisco-based Six Degrees Records and released the folk-pop gem, "Falling Forward." National tours commenced with legendary artists Paul Simon, Sting, Jeff Beck and Jethro Tull.
Porter's combined experience at both major and independent record labels ultimately fueled the drive to release a wider variety of music on a more frequent basis, and led Porter to start his own imprint, Weasel Records, in December 2005. Since then he has released, "Available Light" and "How to Rob A Bank" through this independent label, as well as produced and released two discs for singer/songwriter Natalia Zukerman.
Grigg moved from Toronto to Nashville in 1997. It was there that she began her flirtations with country and folk music. After having been singing for most of her life, she taught herself guitar as a senior in high school. She headed to Knoxville to start her college career at the University of Tennessee, and spent the next couple of years discovering the skill and craft of songwriting and guitar playing.

WASHINGTON — Newly declassified documents offer more details of how the CIA executed the overthrow of Iran's democratically elected prime minister 60 years ago, describing the political frustrations that led the U.S. to take covert action against a Soviet ally — and echoing the current frustrations with Iran over its nuclear ambitions.
It has long been known that the United States and Britain played key roles in the overthrow of Iranian Prime Minister Mohammed Mossadegh — a move that still poisons Tehran's attitude toward both nations.
Mossadegh was replaced by the oppressive regime of Shah Reza Pahlavi, who was overthrown in 1979 by followers of Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini in the Iranian revolution of 1979.
But for historians, the heavily redacted documents posted this week on George Washington University's National Security Archive amount to "the CIA's first formal acknowledgment that the agency helped to plan and execute the coup," the archive said on its site.
The documents also offer an explanation for the covert action that's eerily similar to arguments for curbing Iran's nuclear ambitions today. The CIA argued then that Iran was threatening Western security by not cooperating with the West — at the time, by refusing to bargain with the British-run Anglo-Iranian Oil Co. — thereby threatening the supply of cheap oil to Britain and risking a British invasion that could in turn trigger a counter Soviet invasion of Iranian oilfields.
In a document titled "The Battle for Iran," the CIA reveals the coup plan was called "Operation TPAJAX." The unnamed author of the history writes that previously published accounts miss the point that "the military coup that overthrew Mossadegh ... was carried out under CIA direction as an act of U.S. foreign policy, conceived and approved at the highest levels of government." The author adds that the coup plan was "an official admission (redacted) that normal, rational methods of international communication and commerce had failed. TPAJAX was entered as a last resort."

I knew it was gonna happen. It's kind of like saying "Oh! Look! The Sun!" at noon in Pheonix.
I added some huge mod pack last night. Made the screen too busy, so I went to bed. The boys should be having a blast playing with all that crap today
I have to figure out which mini map mod I was using in 8.5. It showed all sorts of useful stuff like sight shot and radio range, turret and hull location as well as last known opfor tank location.

The profitability changes were very obvious. I got a 22k net with the beta sherman, and y'all saw the 43k net with the AT-15A that I put up a few pages ago.
Also, look at that accuracy. Looks like I went from a 70% hit ratio up to ~85%. Yet despite that, my slow armored vehicles did not take more weak spot hits (at least that I noticed).
I saw one anomaly when playing with Norm. He lost a match to an arty that did ~2k damage in a tier 6 match. I wish I could see a replay from his pov; maybe it was just luck. But it looks like you still have to play with an arty-safe mentality - we'll know soon enough.

I played some arty last night.
It requires the player to be more patient, careful, and just better... but arty is still powerful. Not over-powerful, like it may have been before... I missed several shots, but also did plenty of damage, and I think one game took top damage in my LeFh237-1489057.
I think they got it right, getting things in better balance now.

I think I agree with you about the arty too: it seems more difficult now, but still highly effective in the right hands. Like other units in the game, it's only OP when played right.
I fully believe that every tank is OP when played right and with a little luck, which is created by skill and the frictions between players interacting. ("I am a strong believer in luck and I find the harder I work the more I have of it." - Benjamin Franklin)
Played a bunch of rounds with a local friend who got the M41 last night, and in some rounds he was top damage as if it was still 8.5 -- and he is an utter noob at 264 battles. But some rounds the dice weren't rolling his way and the shots were landing outside the aim circle and he got zero damage a couple times. I use his example because we played about ten rounds together last night. But that guy that killed Smithy and I had 2000+ damage in an M41 and was rocking it. Still stay arty safe.
That said, I love what they did with the French Arty Tree and the connection between the French arty I want the most, the AMX13F3, and the AMX12t. Instead of eight billion XP from the 12t for a Lorraine 155 50, , it's now 64,250 for the AMX13F3.

Interview with Wargaming international PR section chief
Posted on by Silentstalker 6 Comments ↓
Source: http://bonusweb.idnes.cz/wargaming-r...bw-magazin_anb
Czech PC gaming portal Bonusweb made an interview with the chief of international Wargaming PR section, Artur Protopopov during his stay at the E3 fair in Los Angeles. Heres a translation from Czech, what it is about
Q: You dont seem to cover the fact that you are surprised by the World of Tanks success. What do you think is the reason for it?
A: I think its a combination of several factors. First, its the free to play business model, which breaks down the barrier between the gamers and us. You dont have to for example pay 40 dollars to access the game. The game environment is also important. Try asking a 5-year old boy, whats more interesting: a Ferrari, or a tank? Hell definitely pick the tank. And so the nice environment, the business model and detailed, but easy to grasp game principles all play a role.
Q: Competition between free to play games is fierce. Have you put a lot of effort in advertising the game, or did the people find you themselves and passed the info between each other afterwards?
A: You cant simply make an online game and ignore the marketing. Yes, we work hard on both positioning and advertising campaigns. The goal is to ensure that waves of new players continuously join the game. We are also doing a lot to draw the players that already left the game back to it. We visit game fairs and try to increase our gamer base all the time. However, in some countries the referencing gains are so strong that we actually have to stop advertising campaigns from time to time, for example in Russia.
Q: Some of the aforementioned things are relatively expensive. I therefore assume that those things came with success. How was it in the beginning?
A: Five years ago, we didnt have money to visit fairs such as the E3. Back then, me and several other people were travelling around Europe. We visited various journalists, to whom we presented our game and explained, how it could become successful. Some were very hard to convince. And I am not speaking about Russian press. Everybody said Guys, youll be broke in a couple of months. This wont work.. So yes, we started small and now we are getting bigger.
Q: Its obvious from the official company statements that your management practices are modern. Whats your vision for next five or ten years?
A: Thats a good, but also complicated question. From our newest announcement you can guess that we will expand to other platforms. We do understand the fact that only PC game development is not enough. Thats why we work currently on World of Tanks for Xbox 360 and on World of Tanks Blitz for mobile platforms.
As for our plans for next 5 years thats hard to say. Currently, we are focusing on the three big games from the wargame series and we have acquired another game studio, the Gas Powered Games, led by Chris Taylor. They are working on a yet unnanounced game, that will however be big and detailed.
You must also understand that when it comes to online games, you cant just dish out a title and forget about it. World of Tanks came out 3 years ago in Russia, but around 800 people are still working on it. In next three to five years, we will still develop World of Tanks, Warplanes and Warships. We will also work on one or two big games we havent announced yet.
Q: Will you unify the three games into one world?
A: Thats a good question. Every journalist asks that one. Basically, we now have three separate titles, that we will connect on community level. Players will be able to share experience, credits etc. We will introduce the unified premium account. So, if you pay 10 dollars in World of Tanks, youll be able to use that in two other games. The games will also be connected thru Clan Wars. But at this moment, we are not considering unifying them thru a single battlefield.
Q: I have read that the combat principles in World of Warships are also relatively different
A: Exactly, the map size is different too. Maps for the planes are this big (*makes a big gesture*) and for tanks they are this big (*makes a smaller gesture*). Balancing them will be a big challenge. Who knows, how things will go in the future, but for now, they remain three separate projects, connected thru clan wars and community.
Q: When planning a new game, are you trying to follow the spirit of World of Tanks, or are you more innovative, risking possible negative impact on the company?
A: Connecting those three games in one world means that they must fit together economically, balance-wise and gameplay-wise. With these three games, we therefore are using the same principles. But when developing World of Tanks Blitz we can experiment more. Its a different platform with different rules and content.
Q: Arent you afraid that your player base will start overlapping between the titles?
A: We arent afraid of that, we dont prevent that. The premium account is connected between the games, so if you pay once and play all 3 games, we are happy. We are not greedy, we dont want the players to pay thrice for accessing the same world. We appreciate the following recommendation between friends more. Its more important for us to develop the community rather than make the players pay as much as possible.
Q: How would you define your company philosophy? Whats your companys goal?
A: We have very standardized and formalized goal (SS: literally a mission). We offer epic on-line games with love. Thats how we define our strategic vision. But we also do understand that creating epic games takes hard work. We are already breaking records, for example with World of Tanks being in the Guiness book.
Q: You most likely wont tell me anything, but Ill try nevertheless. Will you tell me something about the Gas Powered Games game project?
A: Yea sure, it will come out next week! *laughs* You have to understand that they joined us not so long ago and they are still working on game prototypes. They have several possibilities and ideas, but its too early to tell.
Q: So thats the unannounced console project, or
A: Yea, thats WOT for Xbox, thats what we have been teasing you with.
Q: Would you like to add something before we finish?
A: Just a short message to the Czech community. You can look forward to more and more cool stuff. We are preparing a surprise to make specifically Czech players happy (SS: as if the Czech community deserves anything for their forum whining .)

That's because with the increased accuracy, people aiming at the fuel cells actually hit them now.
If your tank shows it's butt, I'll aim for the fuel cell. I set two tanks on fire the first game I played with 8.6.

Some initial guidelines for camo net and camo crew against tier 10 (400m view range) tanks. These measurements were taken from an Obj704, so
This thing: ---------------- Decreases spotting range by:
Camo Net ------------------- 50m
Camo Crew (Stationary) ----- 50m
Camo Crew (Moving) --------- 30m
Note that the effect of net+crew is cumulative. Obviously net only works for stationary vehicles.
My old comment about "never use a camo net" has gone straight out the window.

CompactFlash card takes licking, keeps ticking

SanDisk updates flash card lineMarch 13, 2003
Earlier this month, 50-year-old Frazier was assigned by the Southeast Missourian newspaper to take photos of the dismantling of a section of a highway bridge along the Mississippi River. He set up three digital cameras, about 240 feet away from the bridge, on the Missouri side of the river in Cape Girardeau, Mo. That was too close, as two of the cameras were damaged and a third was totally destroyed--but not before capturing images of the bridge's final moments.
The 256MB SanDisk CompactFlash card used in the camera survived the blast and stored the images until Frazier could later download them to his PC. The cards are solid-state media, which means that the circuits are made of solid materials and have no moving parts.
"After looking at the camera, I was amazed that the card worked," Frazier said. "The card was literally blown out of the camera and was sitting a foot away from what was left of the camera."
City officials and some of the demolition crew wanted onlookers at least 800 feet away, but Frazier's remote controls for the cameras only had a range of 600 feet.
He worked it out, signing several waivers and agreeing to stand behind some construction equipment so that he could be close enough to activate his cameras. He felt the blast.
"The pressure from the explosion had to go somewhere, so it followed the path of least resistance, which was on level with where my cameras were set up," Frazier said.
The pressure created from 600 pounds of dynamite exploding caused about $15,000 worth of damage to Frazier's gear.
Frazier was so impressed by the durability of the card that he notified SanDisk, and the company announced the survival of the card Tuesday. Frazier received a few CompactFlash cards and a USB flash drive from the company.

- I had a similar experience. I accidentaly ran my 128MB Memorex USB Thumbdrive through the washer and the dryer. When I heard it rattling in the dryer and removed it, it was too hot to hold, and the built-in plastic loop on the cap had fatigued to the point it broke off in my hand. But everyting on the drive was available and it continues to be reliable. Eureka - in an era of "disposable-everything" - something that works BETTER than expected.

- Just a few cards?
- Kudos to SanDisk for rewarding Frazier with some media. But they could capitalize on the situation by offering Frazier some new camera equipment in exchange for his testimony in a national campaign regarding the durability of the solid-state media. I have a 2.2 Gb CF II drive that I use for controlled shoots, but when in doubt I use the CF solid-state cards.

- When an airplane crashes, many parts survive, but we don't write news stories about how great those parts are.
This seems to be a story about an inexperienced and reckelss photographer. Whether he was using film or solid-state storage should not have mattered one bit, because he should have been out of harms way, shooting with a camera that had better zoom capabilities.
All this guy proved, is that he was lucky.

- I have only one major and one minor problem with CF media and that is with the interface support. I have two readers, a PCMCIA adapter and a Lexar Jumpstart USB adapter. Minor: the PCMCIA adapter is instantly recognized with hot swaps between my laptop and desktop readers while the USB takes trickery and perseverance on any recognition even on Windows XP. Major: this will give you hives -I borrowed a Canon PowerShot from a friend. Removing the CF card seemed especially difficult so easing the card out with only two fingers (shipyard electrician's fingers) I discovered three pins were extracted along with the card. I am still researching insertion/extraction tools and camera repair runs from $300 to $500 dollars (some even higher!). And this not an isolated problem as my web searches revealed in major league cursing. ~StevenJ

Considering the way Ke$ha and Rihanna looked at last night's American Music Awards, it's not like the older folks were the only people making questionable wardrobe choices. But rock 'n roll tends to be a young person's game, and things that look perfectly normal on teenage stars start to look a little strange when you head north of 35. Last night's performers and presenters were a study in what happens when an attempt to balance pop relevance with aging gracefully goes horribly wrong. As a service to musicians born later than 1975, we've used some unfortunate images from the 2010 AMAs to assemble this helpful list of 10 things middle-aged rockers are not allowed to wear.

If you're like us, you didn't expect much out of last night's American Music Awards. They are, after all, a second-rate awards ceremony at a time when even the Grammys and the Oscars fail to provide much fodder for water-cooler conversation. But now that we're living in a post-Kanye-interruptus world, the potential for moments of unscripted magic were enough to plant us in front of our TV sets last night. And, although Taylor Swift took home five awards without incident, it was the evening's performances — not its winners — that wowed us.
You see, for us, last night marked a sort of changing of the pop guard, with established divas like Jennifer Lopez and Whitney Houston falling on their asses (sometimes literally) as ascending stars Lady Gaga and Adam Lambert turned in jaw-dropping production numbers. After the jump, check out Glambert's hot, homoerotic performance and three other essential AMA… Read More
