Those who ask a question, are stupid for 30 seconds. Those who never ask, are stupid for life.
I think part of the problem many have is that the PR from this company is not up to standards. But I like a good game, and if I have fun...that is what counts. Most people just want a charismatic developer/pr person to tell them a game is good for them to have fun with it. Which I think this company focused more on the game, less on the PR...but much of the hate could be because of the not up to standards PR from this company.

im not so sure why ppl call this a scam, that word is kinda harsh. wouldnt gamestop be a scam? u buy a game(if u didnt research/demo play it) u go back to return it and they show u the finger. i mean
1. i payed 25$ for it when it first went on for sale.
2. i knew what i was paying for and i still enjoy the fk out of the game
3. if this was a SCAM id have to be scared for my bank account now wouldnt i?
that would be the only thing making it a scam. as for the price they charge... no1 is forcing u to buy it. if u did buy it and are unhappy with the way the game is well thats ur problem go qq in ur box for 15$ cause if ur that broke then stop playing games and get a job. my 2cent.

I saw a Video of Gameplay {one person against Zombies} and I was excited to play this. Like a Little kid at Christmas.
WOW! What a slap in the face. I truely hope some changes are made. I would love to play it, But NOT in the condition it's in now. After reading the interview with Gamespy, I wouldn't trust this game for anything. I am so disapointed.

They do not have the capital they need to make the game in to what it need to be to meet the vision they have painted. And that falls in to the lap of the lead developer and/or game designer. Marketing is secundary in this case.
Edit: Oh sorry Zyzra i got my wires crossed. =) Got your point now. =P
When do the good fight turn bad, Smedley is a good example.

Basically, the War Z game developer posted features on the steam store page as if the game HAD those features, for the RELEASE build, when in fact it did not. People who were buying the game read those features but were tricked by the company into thinking they were there.

If you can't kill it, don't make it mad.
Perhaps the reality that was revealed in this gamespy UK interview had something to do with it? Talk about someone who doesn't have a clue about their playerbase, or public relations. This is a glaring example of why most companies have PR personnel to handle public interactions. Steam has been fairly reliable in dealing with these types of antics in the past, lets see how they react to this one.
Now watch for their damage control to attempt to spin this in a positive light...
Added. Good for Steam. Thats the type of attention to their player base I've come to expect from them over the years.

hatred enriches.life is a prison, death a release.
steam pulled the game do to complaints from the steam userbase about the storepage set for warz none of which had to do with keys. WHICH warz was not selling anyway. they were not doing a preorder alpha/beta limited sale but a full on release sale on steam. so there are no keys associated with that, and if they were trying to pull that.. it makes it even more of a BS sale then most people state.
all in all this game needs another few months of solid development before id even bother touching it. all of the lets plays i have seen on this title leave me wanting to stay far away from it. the animations are worse then warInc which i have played. ( i find it ironic a guy holding medical supplies, presses them like a C4 detonator.... zombie animations are pathetic and look retarded. much like the zombie attack animations.
all in all this title does not belong on steam until its ironed out alot of the really bad animations and bugs it has, as well as actually includes 50% of what its promoting as its final release content. then id be fine with it on steam.

I did more reading into this, and Sergey outright lied on the forums that they "ran out of keys". It isn't lack of keys, but even if every site said it...what is more important...
valve came out and said they removed the game for sell. That means Sergey either was mistaken and didn't know what was going, or lied to his fans.
That is a really big shame, because the game is a lot of fun. But, I guess PR is important and Sergey has been saying things that are making a lot of people angry with the game.

Who am I to say what games you should like, and its not the point either. But technical the game is a mess.
Its the buisness practice, the lies, the copying of league of legends terms of use, the cash shop and the walking dead tv series copying(warz logo). Its unethical, its illegal, and you should not under any circumstances support his kind of beavhior and buisness practice. Have a spine, be a decent human being. I cannot understand why anyone would support them after all this. They have been found out, the facts are there, its a scam, simple as that.
Dont be a scumbag and support cheating, lying and exploitation like this.
AND MAN UP, admit that you are been fooled to buy the game, its okay. Don't continue to dig your grave and continue to defend these developers, you have no case, the facts are there. But some people will rather try to convince themselves and other that this is great, than admit they are wrong and made a poor choice when buying this game.
Because I refuse to believe that people are this dumb, that they will ignore the facts in front of them. You're not fooling anyone, you're not that dumb(maybe a very small number are) man up the feck up.

This particular company and developer is known for using forum plants and sock puppets on message boards.
I gave the game a try, got a refund. The reasons are very simple.
1. It's simply a bad game. The texturing is laughable, the clipping issues are epic, the fall damage paradigm is sheer lunacy, the combat mechanics are a joke, there's nothing to do, and no reason to do it.
2. The zombies are an afterthought. This is not a zombie survival MOG; it's a PvP battleground with no leaderboards, standings, or rankings.
3. Hacking is rampant, and not only do the devs not combat it, they are complicit in it, killing players for a laugh, handing out weapons and supplies to friends, and banning anyone who even slightly annoys them or talks smack about their game. If you are going to produce a steath/ambush-based PvP battleground game, you had damn well better police the radar, invulnerability, and ammo hackers.
4. The company is blatantly dishonest about the game, claiming everything from multiple maps of 100-400 square kms, to skill systems, private servers, and a whole host of other features that simply are not present in the game. In reality there are no skills, and the only map available is only 25 square kms, and you only get that big of a number if you assume the character models are all 7 feet tall and walk 7 miles an hour. A more reasonable figure for the map is around 10 square kms, especially when you notice that a huge chunk of the map is actually inaccessable and unplayable.
5. The company has stolen from numerous sources, everything from the wording of their EULA to supposed "screen shots" of gameplay to publicity images to splash screens that simple plagarize existing, recognizable sources. They are so lazy that they didn't even bother to steal from sources that no one would know about. The company is either entirely ignorant of copyright laws or doesn't care. Either way....bad sign.
6. Pay to win, baby, pay to win. Pay for a starting weapon, because you will not find one soon after spawing in. Pay for supplies, pay for ammo, pay for starter armor, pay for respawns. And pay in real cash, no less. They spent more time coding the payment process than they did coding the zombie combat mechanics. And don't forget that when you die, probably to a hacker who is invisible, or using a rifle with unlimited range, or any of a dozen other I WIN hacks, all of the durable or cosmetic goods you bought with real money are instantly deleted. Who the hell ever heard of a game that deletes PURCHASED items as part of the standard death penalty, much less COSMETIC ones. This is not a game. It's an ATM machine for the developers.

Given what I've seen from the company in question...
I'd say this is, pretty clearly, on of their team trying to do some quick PR cleanup. While I realize that this would, in a normal company, be an obviously terribly way to do that...these guys have already proven they don't have the good sense god gave a snail when it comes to managing anything, let alone their own business and ethics.
We here at MMORPG are very sad that your company is tanking from this debacle. We all really would love a zombie survival MMO, and many had high hopes for you. But there is nothing left to save. You made bad choices, handled your players in a rude, unprofessional way, and lied about what you were selling. And now the entire world knows, whether they even went looking for that information or not (I know I didn't, I wasn't even following your game and have heard nothing BUT this sheer stupidity for the last few days)
You gotta know when to hold em, and know when to fold em gentlemen. You've long past the time to walk away, its now time to run.

Hate the Quick Bar and there doesn't seem to be any way to turn it off. #fail
Twitter for iPhone and iPad updated with Quick Bar
Twitter for iPhone has been updated to 3.3 and includes a new Quick Bar to show trends without leaving your timeline.
- Quick Bar, shows trends and other important things without leaving your timeline! Swipe the Quick Bar left/right to cycle through trends
- Trends based on your location
- Cleaner, redesigned Tweet compose screen.
- Autocomplete @usernames and hashtags
- Easier photo uploading
- Find friends using your phone's contacts
- Improved DM conversation view, now works similar to SMS/Chat
- Cleaned up preferences
- Bug fixes
The mystery is knowing which bugs are fixed. One of the biggest bugs I've experienced and seen others complain about is the incorrect badge count - the notification badge always says "1" regardless of how many new mentions or DMs you have. The other big one is that DM's show up as new even though they have been read. Hopefully these bugs have been fixed.
If you pick this one up, let us know what you think!

Twitter for iPhone and iPad updated with Quick Bar
Same here...
The DM bug is still there. Mine have shown as unread now for a while.
I would like to be able to turn off the quick bar, although it does disappear as you scroll down.
Not a fan of the new compose window, the scrolling should include all four options (hashtags, @, pics & location) but it doesn't. Kind of messy and cumbersome if you ask me. I liked the other way better, how you tapped the character counter to hide the keyboard and reveal options, then tapped it again.
The new find friends through your contacts is pretty cool.
Osfoora, Hootsuite, Twitterific are looking a bit better now.
Come on devs, wow us like you used to with Tweetie and official Twitter and listen to your users. What features do we, the user, want or not want.
I wish the swipe on a tweet to send a reply, quote, etc.. in the iPhone version was in the iPAd version as well. I wonder why they didn't do that...but instead opted for the million page pileup UI disaster situation.
Twitter should have let the designers alone and let them mature the product. No doubt the disasters are the ideas of twitter people and not the original app designer team.
I hate it when app developers sell out.
I hate that popup trend bar.
AND I hate the Netflix update for iPad (not all the genre are listed! grrr I'm having to use the website to see all genre).
If there is really no way to turn off that trend pop up bar, I'm going back to echofon pro
I still don't get the point of a trend. :/ Lame.
The point is the promoted trend - it is a way for Twitter to put ads directly into the stream in a (relatively) unobnoxious way.
It looks like @chpwn might be putting together a cydia tweak that removes the pesky trends bar (yay!)
solution: echofon pro
Ouch, that quick bar is pretty awful. It randomly pops up when I'm lower down on my timeline and I thought it only popped up at the top. What a waste. And then you can't even slide left or right on it because it thinks you want to find out more about the trend. It's a pretty terrible feature
The trend bar is a cool idea, but a terrible implementation. It wouldn't be so bad if it STAYED at the top of the timeline, but instead it randomly pops up while you're scrolling through tweets. EXTREMELY annoying. I will be sticking with the previous version, which, other than the badge bug (which wasn't even fixed in the new version), was perfect for me.
I love that their idea of "cleaning up preferences" was to remove lots of useful ones. You can't set it to absolute timestamping anymore; so everything is "1hr ago" instead of "1:23pm". There's no more services link to followcost which I used regularly, and it crashed trying to load tweets I'd missed while at work. They're small things but ones that really weren't obtrusive or difficult to leave as part of the app. Why they got rid of them is beyond me, but I'm looking at alternative clients now. And the trending bar, well, that's had everything said about it that needs be said.
Wow, I'm glad I haven't updated yet - now I sure won't. I hate the idea of a trend bar (couldn't care less about trends) and going by the feedback so does pretty much everybody else.
For anyone stuck with the update and looking for a new Twitter client, I'd recommend SimplyTweet (lots of features) or Echofon (fast). Both have free versions to try out.
Down 'twizzler' from Cydia to disable this stupid tweak!!!
Download 'twizzler' from Cydia to disable this stupid tweak!!!
account settings >settings > advanced > ignore local trends turn on then off then on then off then on again. the banner is no longer present on my phone. Also make sure you change the trends function in your twitter.com account set it to an area near you (i.e orange county set to Los Angeles)
The writer missed one point about the Nook Tablet. He was right in saying that it has an active hacking community. He failed to mention that B&N includes instructions (albeit not very good ones) on how to root the nook so as to turn it into a full fledged tablet. Once you do that, the nook is no longer limited by the B&N app store. Instead it has full access to the entire Google Market, which happens to also include the Nook app, as well as the Kindle and Kobo apps. Combine that with the better hardware specs and there is no real reason to buy the Kindle or the Kobo.

A lot of work goes into making a great-quality brass instrument. Players have high standards, and rightfully so. To put it simply, an instrument that's made better sounds better. It's a principle that Getzen knows well, and one that guides the manufacturing of all the instruments you'll find here in their collection. With a solid variety to choose from, any musician can find a Getzen instrument that's just right.
Choosing the perfect Getzen trumpet or cornet is all about finding the instrument that matches your skill level and musical tastes. For instance, the 390 Series Student Bb Trumpet is the perfect candidate for a young musician's first trumpet, complete with nice touches that raise the bar on entry-level, such as nickel-plated pistons and a hand-spun seamless bell. If you're a seasoned professional, consider the high-end 3003 Genesis Custom Series Bb Trumpet, which is designed with a swappable leadpipe and other adjustments that allow Getzen to describe it as their most versatile model.

|Home > FAQs > Cookbook > Value Stack Internals
As Matt Ho explained on the mailing list:
A value stack is essentially a List. Calling [1] on the stack,
returns a substack beginning with the element at index 1. It's only
when you call methods on the stack that your actual objects will be
Said another way, let's say I have a value stack that consists of a
model and an action as follows:
[ model, action ]
here's how the following ognl would resolve:
[0] - a CompoundRoot object that contains our stack, [model, action]
[1] - another CompoundRoot that contains only [action]
[0].toString() - calls toString() on the first object in the value
stack (excluding the CompoundRoot) that supports the toString() method
[1].foo - call getFoo() on the first object in the value stack
starting from [OS:action] and excluding the CompoundRoot that supports a
getFoo() method
I hope this doesn't sound too confusing :\
If you're using Velocity, this can most easily be written as:
Unfortunately, <ww:property value="[0].peek()"/> won't work as this
would translate into "starting at the top of the value stack (and
excluding the CompoundRoot), find the first object that has a method
called peek()"
--------thanks Matt!
here is the com.opensymphony.xwork.util.CompoundRoot class which Matt mentions:

Scott County Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan
Plan Development:
Scott County was awarded a grant from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) awarded under its Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP) to develop a Multi-Jurisdiction Local Hazard Mitigation Plan. The grant is administered through the Iowa Homeland Security and Emergency Management Division (IHSEMD). The planning grant agreement between Scott County and IHSEMD was fully executed on March 3, 2009.
Why a Plan?
The plan will meet the requirements of the Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000, also known as DMA 2000. The Act, which was signed into law on October 30, 2000, streamlines delivery and utilization of disaster recovery assistance and places increased emphasis on local mitigation planning. It requires local governments to develop and submit mitigation plans as a condition of receiving project grants under four FEMA programs: Pre-Disaster Mitigation (PDM), Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP), Flood Mitigation Assistance (FMA) and Severe Repetitive Loss (SRL).

Feds don't oppose Star's motion in Tucson shooting
TUCSON -- Federal prosecutors said Wednesday that they don't oppose a Tucson newspaper's publisher request for the release of investigate materials in the 2011 mass shooting that wounded former Arizona congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords.
U.S. District Judge Larry Burns granted a motion last week from the company that publishes the Arizona Daily Star.
Star Publishing Company is seeking the dissolution of a protective order keeping the Pima County sheriff from releasing the material.
Burns is giving all parties involved until Friday to reply.
Last November, Jared Lee Loughner was sentenced to seven consecutive life sentences for the Jan. 8, 2011 shootings that killed six people and wounded 13 including Giffords and at her meet-and-greet event outside a Tucson grocery store.
The protective order was to ensure Loughner's right to a fair trial.

WILLIAMSON - It was built in 1950 and has a storied history in the Tug Valley area.
Some of the greatest basketball players in the Mountain State played on its hardwood floors. Legends like Jerry West, Hal Greer, George Ritchie – along with Danny Moses, Mark Cline and many other local hoops stars. It has also hosted musical acts, boxing matches, the circus, dances and many other events.
Now the Williamson Fieldhouse has been notified it was placed on the National Register of Historic Places.
"I have some good news from the Board of Parks and Recreation of Williamson," said Dr. Steve Wilson, who serves on the city's Park Board. "In November we received notification about placing the Williamson Fieldhouse on the National Register of Historic Places."
The Williamson Park Board should be getting an official letter and day certifying that the grand old building got on the unique list.
"The city will, once again, have voting privilege to support a new bond levy for all of our facilities (including Williamson Field House) on March 9, 2013," said Wilson. "Having served on the board for nearly 10 years, I can tell you that remaining solvent has been an ongoing challenge."
"The new Hatfield-McCoy trailhead at Sycamore offers us real hope for self-sustaining income," Wilson added.
"We are in dire need of replacing the roof on the Fieldhouse. It will cost $100,000 for a repair job that will give us about 10 years. A price for a $500,000 replacement would give us at least 30 years with understructure allowing more economical future repair," Wilson stated. "Receiving the NRHP recognition does put us in a better position to potentially receive grant monies, however, most of these grants are matching grants only. We have to be able to put our money where our requests are."

Ok, so at my first ob appointment by bp was 105/50, second was 115/63, and third was 123/77. Now its running about 135/80. It seems to be slowly creeping up. I was on bp meds (I cant remember the name) after my daughter was born, but never while I was pregnant. I dont know why because I had PIH to begin with?
Do you think I should be started on meds now or will they wait until it gets even higher? It just seems like if they keep the bp down PE could possibly not reappear or at least not until later?

The United States National Rugby Team returns to Charleston for a must-win World Cup Qualifier match vs. a powerful Canadian National Team, under the lights inside Blackbaud Stadium, Saturday night, Aug 17 at 6:30 p.m. The last time these two teams met in South Carolina, USA defeated Canada on July 4, 2009, by a score of 12-6. It was the first ever International Rugby Match played and won by the USA on South Carolina soil.
Many U.S. and Canadian dignitaries will be attending the match, including thousands of Rugby players and fans from all over the country. The USA vs. Canada match will also be televised internationally.
What makes USA Rugby players so worthy of local and national support is that they each earn only $100 per day as stipend during match weeks – barely compensation at all compared to NFL opulence, according to Baron Hanson.
Rugby men (and women) sacrifice their bodies and work hard for years on end to rise up through the ranks in hope of being selected to play rugby for their country. "Not for glory, nor for riches, but for honor alone" is a common rugby player mantra worldwide.
National-level coaching clinics will descend upon Charleston during the week leading up to match day, getting youth, high school and college players excited for kick-off. Tickets range from $15 to $100 via http://www.usarugby.org. All ages are welcome.

Top 5 - Statement cushionsSep 06, 2011
We're a sucker for a good cushion and luckily for us, the shops are full to the brim with some amazing decorative offers. Check out five of our favourites…
This stag cushion from Next
(£12) is great for taking you through to the winter months and working the upcoming alpine trend into your existing scheme.Carrying on the animal theme, this menagerie cushion from House of Fraser (£40) has us banishing the winter blues with jewel brights and jungle imagery.Ben de Lisi Home for Debenhams is great for quirky printed cushions but the telephone and typewriter prints (£18 each) are our firm favourites.
We love this vibrant peacock print cushion from Next (£16) and with deep turquoise and magenta shades, it'll add a much needed burst of colour to a neutral colour scheme this winter.We love this bird print cushion from Habitat. The zesty background colour contrasts perfectly with the more traditional bird illustration which makes up the bold print. This would make a great accent cushion within a grey colour scheme.Whether you choose animal prints, text or bold patterns, a decorative cushion is the perfect and affordable way to update your home in an instant!Read on

During this time of the year, as acts of generosity and appreciation
abound, I'm drawn to the works of the painters and draftsmen of the
Ashcan School, which thrived during the early 20th century. This group
of artists—among them Robert Henri, Everett Shinn, John French Sloan,
and William Glackens—were united by a commitment to drawing and
painting the people and places of their daily lives. Sometimes this
meant focusing on the underbelly of society, but many of the works were
really just about depicting reality. Their artwork shone a light on the
plight of the people who were part of the community in which these
artists lived.
Jacqueline Kamin paints with a
sculptural sensibility that isn't at all foreign to her practice.
Earlier in her career she spent time as a bronze bust sculptor.
"Working with sculpture is a lot of fun," Kamin says. "It is very
tactile and organic, but it takes a toll physically, and you aren't
responsible for the whole process unless you have your own foundry."

If one is loved by one and all, I question whether they are vigorously defending Holy Mother Church, because many people get offended when you disagree with them (believe me, I know, after 30 years of apologetics in both the Protestant and Catholic worlds). This is a dynamic that hold true in all times and places because it is the perpetual struggle of truth over falsehood; right over wrong. We don't want to be despised because we are truly jerks and uncharitable (because of our own poor behavior), but if we are loathed because we proclaim Catholic truth, then that is exactly what our Lord predicted would happen. It does not necessarily reflect badly upon how well we did our job, at all.
I have (friendly) quibbles with some of the characterizations: drawing contrasts where I don't see much of that, myself. You clarified on the charity thing. Good. As for Point 2, Scott Hahn doesn't interact online much (he doesn't debate), but all the other "old guard" named are very active in this fashion. We're all on Facebook and we all interact. Pat Madrid has 5000 Facebook followers; Jimmy Akin is up to 4581. I have 2500 in just eight months' time. I think most are on Twitter, too (I am). Most use radio and TV and various other media. I'm the least "public," by far (I just write away in my own home), but I have been on the radio about a dozen times.
As for Point 3 (being systematic), that's nothing new to me at all: I have over 2600 posts on my blog, categorized in over 50 separate web pages. I deal with everything: atheists, science, sexual issues, war ethics, ecumenism, Lutheranism, Calvinism, anti-Catholics, Orthodoxy, Catholic traditionalism, Church fathers, development of doctrine, romantic theology a la Lewis and Tolkien, conversion and converts, you name it. So that is not "different" from me. The Catholic Answers website is quite systematic; so is Pat Madrid's stuff, and Scott Hahn's website(s).
I'm not trying to toot my own horn, or that of the "older guys" or create some kind of silly rivalry (not at all); I'm merely making the point that I don't see the strong contrast that is drawn in the article, and question the accuracy of using the adjectives "new," "new era," "new wineskins," "different," "new media."
Obviously, with each new wave of apologetics and outreach efforts there will be innovations and fresh approaches. I want to see "new guys" who are doing a good job, get more exposure and recognition. More power to all of 'em. I commend any such efforts and rejoice to see them. But I don't think there is any essential (or even very great) difference here.
We're all in this together and can all learn from each other. If someone learns something from me I am flattered and give the glory to God; but I hope to always be open to learning from others, too, including the so-called "young guns." I don't want to ever become the "old dog" (at the ripe old age of 53) that can never learn "new tricks."
As an example of some of what I was contending above, see the feature article on the anti-Catholic Beggars All site, by John Bugay, entitled, "The Bryan Cross Method Alert" (5-10-10). After all kinds of swipes taken, Bugay concludes at length that Cross's "method of argumentation is inherently dishonest." Earlier in the article he characterized Cross's style as "knowingly to convey a misleading impression to another person." It's the old "jesuitical casuistry" charge. Bugay in the combox expressly states this: "I've pulled out my copy of Pascal's 'Provincial Letters,' and I'm going to give them a look, on the topic of 'casuistry.'"
Nothing new under the sun. If Cross is using some kind of "new" method that is distinguishable in any significant way from older ones, the net result in the anti-Catholic's eyes is exactly the same. It's not a whit more effective in convincing people who are fundamentally hostile, than anything that has been done in the last 20 years online. Bugay attacks Cross again in an article dated 3-25-11, saying,
Bryan is one of those individuals in search of "the correctly marketable term," a new phrase he can coin and throw out there to "the academy," which will have his name attached to it, and for which people will fawn over him. . . . Maybe, someday, Bryan can be known, like Bultmann, for having discerned "the separation of the Jesus of history from the Christ of faith."
These dynamics are inevitable. Called to Communion and Bryan Cross are relatively well-known, among the "young guns." Therefore, they are being increasingly attacked and savaged. The same thing will happen to anyone else who crosses paths with the leading anti-Catholics. The closer you get to the "front lines" and the longer you stay there, the more attacks will come (and with them the altogether human temptation to respond in kind, or to act in ways quite differently from a sweet, saintly demeanor). It's the nature of spiritual as well as military warfare.
Once a few points are scored in debate, then the anti-Catholic fangs come out and it is never the same again. I guarantee that the young guns will not fare any differently, the more they engage these folks. And there is a time for a rebuke and strong language, too, if it is warranted. Jesus did that with the Pharisees; St. Paul did with various opponents (some of whom are named in his letters), and with entire churches (Galatians, Corinthians). Sometimes when a person is rightly rebuked, then the one doing it gets accused of engaging in the same behavior that was rebuked (I know from much personal experience!).
Any apologist who thinks that his work can and will always be "nicey-nicey" and "smiley" and all wrapped up in a pretty bow will have to learn the hard way, and may be in for some major disenchantment or disillusionment (I've seen many people "burn out"). If difficult scenarios and strong (personal) opposition aren't encountered, then (sorry), I don't think an apologist is fully doing his job. Opposition (and hence unpopularity) is inevitable.
With Protestants who are ecumenical, though, there is no problem achieving amiable, cordial, constructive debate. It's like night and day. Therefore, I contend that the essential difference is not some supposedly significantly "new" apologetic method vs. older ones, but rather, the difference in how an anti-Catholic Protestant responds, vs. how a Protestant who considers Catholics brothers in Christ will respond, and how the former responds, in direct proportion to how familiar he is with a Catholic opponent, and how many times he has been bested in argument by same.
Precisely the same dynamic also applies to apologetics in exchanges with atheists. There are the angry, irrational, "anti-Christian" ones (unfortunately the majority), and also the ones who can talk sensibly with those who differ from them. Nothing works with the former, but it is easy to dialogue with the latter. Again, the key is not the method of the Catholic, but the prior outlook of the particular atheist. This is crucial to understand. We won't be "successful" with everyone.
Our task as apologists is to vigorously share and defend the truth, with charity and gentleness and wisdom. The results are up to God, since it is only His grace that moves any heart closer to Him in the first place. Sometimes we are opposed and seem to achieve no result whatever (like Jeremiah); other times there is abundant visible fruit (as on the day of Pentecost or with St. Francis de Sales, winning back many thousands of Calvinists). Jeremiah was not at fault; nor could St. Francis claim final credit for "his results."
The spiritual battle for hearts and souls is being waged on a scale and height infinitely beyond whatever (good or bad) methods we may bring to the table. Our first and always most important task is to be obedient to our call and to be proper witnesses of Christ. If our Lord and many (if not most) saints were persecuted and killed; we will, at the very least, be personally savaged and attacked. We can expect this; if it is not present, we ought to seriously examine ourselves to see why that is.
We mustn't be naive enough to actually think that Satan and his demons won't put up a vigorous fight against anyone who is effectively sharing and defending God's truth and the fullness of the Catholic faith. We can count on it. It's not peaches and cream and all method and PR and getting folks to like us. Apologetics is ultimately spiritual battle. We can be friendly, nice, charming; all that (and I sure hope we all strive to be that way), but that doesn't nullify the fact that it is, bottom line, a battle (thus, "young guns" is a very apt metaphor indeed!).
Devin Rose replied, and I counter-reply:
I am enjoying the intellectual stimulation (leading me to write so much in reply). Good topic.
I did not intend my portrayal of the positive traits of the young guns to imply a lack of those qualities with you and the other more experienced apologists I mentioned.
You clarified that in your remarks on charity
[he had written previously:
I almost left that part out because it implies that the "older" generation is uncharitable, which is not true at all. Also, many of us (myself included) fall to temptation to be uncharitable or trade punch-for-punch, so it is not an all or nothing kind of thing. Sometimes we do better and other times we do worse.
It might be helpful to say instead that the young guns know how to come across better in blog discussions. To be honest I don't see many of the older generation engaging in comments on blogs, even though they have blogs.]
and again here, and I gladly accept your report, but I think some of the language used in the article actually does logically imply this, if we take the remarks literally, because you emphasize all this "new" stuff, and talk about new wineskins and so forth; then you said "what's different about these young guns [?]" and "Something is different here," and mention three aspects: charity, new media, being systematic. If you say they are "different" in these ways, then that logically goes back to us old guys that you mention earlier, since they have to be "different" from someone or something, and that was the referent. See what I'm saying?
All you would have to do to change the logical thrust would be to say that the new guys are characterized or typified by thus-and-such, without the judgment of "different" (from what came before).
There seems to be some subtle negative insinuation against the "old guard" in other choices of words and metaphors; e.g., "hacked through the tangled jungle of apologetics with machetes" (doesn't sound like very subtle, fine-tuned apologetic work LOL) and "took part in heated debates . . ." The implication is thus left that newer apologists are vastly different in these respects (which I deny is the case).
Again; you say you didn't intend to draw this stark contrast. I believe you, but sometimes imprecise language can leave an impression that the writer didn't intend to convey.
I wholeheartedly agreed with the rest of your comments.

SANTO DOMINGO, Dominican Republic — Three women were paid to falsely claim in videotaped interviews that they had sex for money with a U.S. senator in the Dominican Republic, a spokesman for the police said Monday.
The women, whose claims generated media attention in the United States, were hired by a Dominican attorney to make the videotaped statements, spokesman Maximo Baez told reporters. Two of the women received about $425 and the other was paid about $300, he said.
Authorities are seeking to interrogate the attorney, Melanio Figueroa, about the payments and have not determined his motive or whether he was in turn paid by someone else to set up the interviews, Baez said.
The women have not been detained.
The police spokesman was making his most detailed comments to date on an investigation into the source of allegations that U.S. Sen. Robert Menendez had sex with prostitutes, including two who were underage at the time, while in the Dominican Republic with his friend and campaign contributor, Dr. Salomon Melgen, a south Florida doctor, and with Vinicio Castillo Seman, an attorney whose family is politically prominent in the Dominican Republic. Castillo and Menendez have denied hiring prostitutes.
Castillo, a cousin of Melgen, requested the investigation into what he said were "false and defamatory" accusations.
Jose Polanco, a prosecutor in the town of La Romana, said he interviewed all three women and also determined that none was underage at the time of the supposed encounters with the senator.
A spokeswoman for Menendez, Tricia Enright, said she hopes U.S. authorities will also investigate to determine who was behind the production of the videos as well as similar allegations sent to the FBI. She cited an ABC News report that "Republican operatives," had offered them the interviews but they determined the women were not credible and did not report the allegations.
"The evidence released today by Dominican law enforcement authorities proves what we have said all along: that the smear campaign against Sen. Menendez is based on lies, lies we now know were paid for by interests whose identities have not yet been fully disclosed," Enright said.
Two of the videotaped interviews with the women were published on a conservative Washington website as Menendez ran for re-election in November. The allegations gained wider attention after federal agents searched Melgen's office and the senator acknowledged that he failed to reimburse $58,000 for two flights on a private jet for trips to the Dominican Republic.

Heavenly Scent
I've been using Kimono Rose for years. I've tried various other fragrances too but always revert back to this one. It smells divine with an intoxicatingly blend of under notes. I simply love it!
Was this review helpful?
Yes No
Great fragrances for all ages.
Kimono is a light fragrance, just right for Spring and Summer. My husband likes it and he is around me much of the time. It is a subtle fragrance that does not overpower so I feel comfortable wearing it everyday, everywhere.

My favorite fragrance
Kimono Rose is my favorite fragrance. I am crazy about jasmine, and its other undertones enhance it simply. Light and fresh, with an aroma that is long lasting.
What an absolutely lovely perfume! It's a very soft, clean and uplifting scent that's perfect for spring and summer.
Classic Femininity
After trying numerous fragrances, Kimono Rose is one that I always go back to. The scent has a romantic and classic scent, but with an updated feel for a modern woman. The scent is floral but isn't overly sweet and it has a warm complexity, with the notes of vanilla and black currant. It could also be worn day or night. It is definitely my favorite!

Could someone please tell me why our gas is almost up to $3.60 now that Obama was sworn in for another four years. Six weeks ago, gas cost $2.90. Makes you wonder.
Al Sharpton went on MSNBC and made fun of Marco Rubio for drinking water. Does Sharpton still owe the IRS millions of dollars in taxes and still hasn't paid them?

Hold up. Activations vs Sales. Apple can do no wrong with Rene.
AT&T announces Q4 2012 results, sold 10.2 million smartphones, 8.6 million of which were iPhones
AT&T has announced their Q4 2012 financial results, and out of a record 10.2 million smartphones sold, a record 8.6 million were iPhones. AT&T chairman and CEO, Randall Stephenson said:
We had an excellent 2012. We grew revenues, increased adjusted earnings per share by 8.5 percent and generated cash from operations at record levels. We used this cash to invest aggressively in the future of our business and returned $23 billion to shareowners through dividends and share repurchases.
Looking ahead, our key growth platforms — mobile data, U-verse and strategic business services — all have good momentum with a lot of headroom. We're off to a strong start executing Project VIP, our plan to expand our high-growth platforms to millions more customers, and our 4G LTE network deployment is ahead of schedule, delivering outstanding performance.
Wireless highlights include:
- Wireless revenues up 5.7 percent versus the year-ago quarter; wireless service revenues up 4.2 percent 780,000 wireless postpaid net adds, largest increase in three years; 1.1 million increase in total net wireless subscribers
- Record smartphone sales of 10.2 million, the most ever sold by any U.S. carrier; postpaid smartphone customer base now 47.1 million, up 2.5 million from third-quarter 2012
- Smartphones 89 percent of postpaid phone sales
- Postpaid wireless subscriber ARPU (average monthly revenues per subscriber) up 1.9 percent to $64.98
So 4/5, almost 9/10 smartphones activated by AT&T were iPhones. Almost 3/5 smartphones activated by Verizon were iPhones. Almost 50 million iPhones were sold by Apple.
Still doomed.

What's your problem with Rene? Do you even both reading his articles. I've read several articles where he bashes Apple when they do things wrong. But outselling other smartphone? Seriously? Do you think that's wrong.
Ok, maybe I'll do it for Rene. Shame on Apple. They are shameless for outselling the competition. They should have only sold enough iPhones to make the profits they needed and stopped selling. They are such bullies.
Are you happy now?
Ofda, have a seat. All that babble is not even warranted.
This baffles me they sell that many Iproducts and people still have negatinve things to say about apple. Androids aren't selling that many phone as you can tell by the numbers and I think it's only gonna get worse for them.
Rene is comparing activations with sales as if they were one and the same (although he is not the only one, all the apple-centric sites made the same error) . Here's a hint; can you name any other retailer besides AT&T where the one can buy a smartphone and activate it on the AT&T network? Still think activations and sales are the same?

We know that many of our members would love to be involved in the annual WATs but - because of geography, time constraints or pregnancy - they are unable to take part.
In order to make sure that everyone who wants to join us in a WAT, can, we have come up with a new initiative. The first annual PF Virtual WAT launches this month, with incentives for members to raise pledges in aid of the Foundation.
The Virtual WAT offers a way to raise the essential funds we need for our research grants into preeclampsia, the disease that has changed so many of our members' lives forever.
We are asking members to contact family, friends and colleagues and ask if they would consider making a donation. Remember, every donation helps, no matter how small. Together we can save lives.
With over 6500 daily visitors to the website and over 5000 registered members, we are an online community with potential to make a real difference. As a foundation, our mission is to reduce maternal and infant illness and death from preeclampsia. One way in which we do this is through research grants. To fund one Vision Grant, we need $25,000.
It sounds like a lot, but break it down: 250 members donate $10 each and ask ten family members, friends or co-workers to pledge the same. That's one research grant, right there.
It is possible. We can do this.
To make things more fun, we are going to reward your efforts with prizes.
Collect pledges and earn prizes:
$ 750 All incentives below
$500 PF Sweatshirt
$250 PF Tote Bag
$100 PF Jump-Drive
To set up a team for the Virtual WAT and make a secure, on-line donation, follow these simple instructions:
Click on [url]http://tinyurl.com/5vjmn4[/url] to go to the donation page, fill in the highlighted boxes, click on the button next to I can't attend, then fill in the donation amount (don�t use any decimals), next go to the FAF Team box, FW is already filled in (for Forum Walk), please type in your team name after the FW (it could be your family name, your company, or someone you wish to honor), then continue down the page and click update next to Total Amount . . . the rest should be self-explanatory.
Last thing to do . . . cut and paste the instruction paragraph above and send it to everyone you know! Explain what you are doing and ask them to join the Preeclampsia Foundation's Virtual Walk. Make sure everyone enters the same team name in the FW box, so we can track your pledges.
Donations can also be mailed to:
5353 Wayzata Blvd, Suite 207, Minneapolis, MN 55416.
Checks are payable to: Preeclampsia Foundation
Please be sure to write FW and the team name in the memo line.
If you collect pledges please email Kara your pledge total at email@example.com.
All online donations must be made by midnight (PDT) Tuesday, June 17, 2008 to qualify for prizes. Checks must be postmarked by Tuesday, June 17, 2008 to qualify for prizes.
Let's do this! Please report updates of your success to keep the momentum going! We'll post tallies as we go.
The Preeclampsia Foundation First Annual Virtual WAT starts: NOW!
Many thanks to Kara Boeldt for taking charge of this initiative.

Rated 3.5 out of 5 by 2 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by RAGS Adidas adicross are the best !! I"m so pleased with this product that I purchased a second pair. The shoes are extremely comfortable. They are just what I needed especially since i had a total ankle replacement a year ago and I'm am an avid golfer. September 30, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by gardnercha Adicross II Golf Shoe Ordered the shoe online because the local store hard only a half dozen Ladies Golf shoes in stock. The shoes we ordered did not fit when we got them and I have returned them to the store for credit. Buying shoes on line is a risk, because feet seem to vary in size compared to the size listed. So trying them is the best option before buying. Can't do that when they don't stock enough at the local store. However, Dick's does allow the return of online purcheses to the local store of offset the time and effort or mailing back. I didn't buy my shoes from Dick's. I went to another local store and bought them. January 17, 2014

Have you been interested in creating your own Google Maps mashup but have just put it off? Beginning Google Maps Applications with PHP and Ajax (Apress, August 2006) is a new book to help you take advantage of the Google Maps API in your own maps mashing endeavors - whether you're an enthusiast playing for fun or a professional building for profit.
Going well beyond the basics, the authors cover methods to enhance the user interface, ways to optimize and scale for large data sets (over 120,000 points!), how to create advanced custom controls and even some of the high-school math needed when playing with polylines and areas on a sphere.
If you're looking for a book review, Slashdot gave it a 8/10 on Monday . If you want to get your hands on a copy, you can purchase it here or the authors are holding a random-draw contest to give away three copies of the book at their official companion website (which ends September 7th, 2006).
Just for the record, I wrote the foreword for this book, thus my name appears on the cover. However, I don't get any sort of royalty and at most, I get a small commission from Amazon Affiliates if you buy using my link. :)

COLUMBIA CITY — What to do with a long-vacant industrial property that could use a serious cleanup may soon be a problem of the past.
Whitley County's Economic Development Corporation has been paving the way since last year for the sale of the former Dana plant located at 643 W. Ellsworth Street in Columbia City.
Novae Corporation, a manufacturer of utility trailers and commercial lawn equipment with facilities in Markle, North Manchester and a small operation in Columbia City, is considering purchasing the 11.725-acre property in western Columbia City.
In making the purchase worthwhile for the company, city and county officials have all agreed to forgive utility and tax debt, as well as provide Economic Development Income Tax (EDIT) incentives with a total incentive package of more than $92,000.
Alan Tio, Whitley County's EDC director, made the rounds in the past week to Columbia City's Board of Works and Safety, the town's Common Council as well as the county council and commissioners to ensure all parties were in agreement on the incentives.
"The company hasn't yet committed to this project," Tio told the commissioners Monday, "but we wanted to make sure we have all the incentives in place."
Officials at both the city and county levels have lauded the possible deal as a win-win situation.
"I'm so thrilled that they're even considering coming up here, let alone taking over that building," said Commissioner Don Amber on Monday.
Another hurdle for Novae, the cleanup mandated by the Indiana Department of Environmental Management, should be taken care of by grant money given to the city for assessment and cleanup of the property.
The Columbia City Brownfields Committee reported in November that an agreement was being brokered between IDEM, Novae Corp. and Columbia City, which would remove the city from any liability and put only limited responsibility on the prospective buyer.
The bulk of the liability still lies with Dana, despite that company being at least twice removed from ownership.
The property was purchased in 2007 by C.F. Gomma, an Italian-based company that didn't stay in Columbia City long, having stripped copper from the building and disappearing overnight, according to economic development consultant Lori Shipman.
The sudden move left scores of workers jobless.
The county's Geographic Information System (GIS) site has the current owner listed as Columbia Brown, LLC.
For its part of the deal, should the company decide to proceed with purchasing the property, Novae Corp. would be required to stay in Columbia City at least five years and would have to build a workforce of at least 21 employees.
The local facility on Chauncey Street currently has 15 employees.
Tio finished his tour of the city and county boards Tuesday night at the Columbia City Common Council meeting where the five-person panel unanimously agreed to the incentives.
"This agreement doesn't mean, for the sake of the company, that this is a done deal," said Columbia City Mayor Jim Fleck.
Novae Corp. President Steve Bermes thanked the city for its efforts in brokering the agreement and called the prospective deal a "significant project to the city and the people."
The company has experienced significant growth in the past year with an expansion project in North Manchester.
According to mfrtech.com, the company announced in March of 2010 its plans to expand its trailer manufacturing operations in North Manchester creating up to 85 new jobs by 2013.

OnGMap is an insane Google Maps mega-mashup that will help you discover endless amounts of information about a specific location you are zoomed into on the map. The interface is available in Japanese with lots of data sources pulling from Japan (these are also viewable in English).
Start by zooming into any location on earth and here is what you'll be to plot on the map:
- Book Mashup - geo-names are matched with Amazon books!
- Weather, Photos, Wikipedia, UNESCO sites, videos, hotels, schools etc..
- Hotspots, Salons, Health/Medical facilities, restaurants
- General geo-data - Cities, towns, transportation
- Approximate address, coordinates, elevation and search key words of centered point
- Google News articles (right sidebar)
- Google Blog search (right sidebar)
- Many Japanese websites as well!
- Quick bookmarks to jump to: Continents, Countires, Cities, and Japanese prefectures (See: 01Move folder)
- Set views, go back to home map
- Switch to Microsoft Virtual Earth map view
- Share/Save map view to: Del.icio.us, StumbleUpon, Hatena
- Great menus that can be toggled and expanded
- Great user-customization
There has been a lot of great work that has gone into creating this mashup both from a data and UI perspective. The result is a fantastic user experience with great data sources! :)
It should also be noted that Google Maps itself features this same built-in user-created mashup capability. You can add content from a directory of Mapplets to your own My Maps tab to create a personalized Google Maps mashup. Add content and tools that are specific to where you live or are planning to travel to. Take a look at this post for more information. Google Maps geo search also facilitates this experience by letting you search for user-created Google Maps for a specific place on Google Maps. Read here for more information..
