The Star Wars book range has recently expanded for E formats like Amazon Kindle. I find myself reading more and more Star Wars. Up until now I have only read a handful of novels but I have played quite a few games so to say I'm new to the EU is unfiar. Coming to terms with how a video game fits in with the saga has been quite easy in the past due in no small part to the rather low quality material presented: you play, forget, move on. Back in the day, KotOR was a game-changer for Star Wars entertainment as it took and gave back something to the Universe. Since then, SW games have come a long way in terms of the amount of lore they give to the saga - The Force Unleashed being a good example. It has become harder to forget and move on. However, as they take so long to make the chances of them entering into conflict with existing canon is low. So the purpose of this thread is to get advice from the EU veterans about how to deal with the shifting continuity that has become common with the ongoing Clone Wars series in terms of how it conflicts with stuff you thought you knew. I was a SW collector before the squeeze of recession diminished a lot of my disposable income, so I have almost a completionist mindset to buying Star Wars products: I buy it, it's mine, nothings going to change unless I sell it, you know? I suppose that concept of ownership is hard to shake and seems incompatible when it comes to Star Wars novels. I really want to believe that now I have just finished reading Darth Plagueis I have the difinitive tale of Palpatine's relationship with his sith master. I don't want to watch The Clone Wars next week and see a scene in which Sidious relates the story of how he trained Darth Maul that doesn't mesh with the book I've just read. I'm not saying that things shouldn't be considered from different viepoints, or stories converted to to the screen remain 100% faiuthful to the source, such as the "Slaves of the Republic" arc from season 4. I only want what I spend my money on to have a lasting place in the ongoing saga, so that I can re-read a book in five years time and have it as relevent to Star Wars then as it is now. Wishful thinking? EU veterans, how have you come to terms with the evolution of Star Wars novels or comics? Does the move to Disney fill you with terror? Plaese share your wisdom because as it stands I'm alomost afraid to read the next novel for fear of the last becoming obsolete. Like all those Republic Commando books sitting on my shelf.
Haha, I like the Republic Commando bit. Been there myself. Okay as I see it, there is no clear-cut canon that any longer exists. Lucas said that the Clone Wars is canon while our beloved EU novels before it are not. Putting aside the irritation I feel about this, let's discuss this in light of new developments. With Disney buying Star Wars, Lucas no longer calls the shots. Who does specifically? Will they choose to make a statement on what is canon and what isn't? If they are smart they'll steer clear of that topic, imagine the potential fallout. Jar-jar rage all over again. So is there/will there be a canon? At all? And with so many contradictions between different novels, shows, games, and more how can we know what is "true"? I don't think that we can. So with that in mind, for me personally, the canon is what I choose it to be. And many would argue with me to the bitter end over some of my choices, but without a clear structure in this it looks to be completely subjective. This is obviously not a preferred response, I'd prefer to have something definite. But at this point in time, Star Wars does not deal in absolutes. As for how I feel about Marvel takeover, cautiously optimistic. Many of us point to how well Marvel has done since Disney bought Marvel. Some point to people like Joss Whedon and Brad Bird working for Disney who grew up with Star Wars and love it like we do. Does that mean these movies won't bomb horribly? I don't know. But for now I choose to be optimistic, cautiously so.
Thank you for the reply Zarkinfrood, I was worried people were stearing clear of the topic out of fear of my intent. I'm glad you understood that I'm not trying to insult anything, the opposite in fact. I really like your cherry-picking approach to canon, seems very liberating and it would make the SW universe more personal. Sounds like a good way of limiting the disheartening feeling of contradicting lore. I appreciate your point about the possible future of canon. It seem strange and scary to think of a future Star Wars franchise totally without a cononical standard. It would be too much like the crazy world of comic books that seem to reinvent themselves every few years in my eyes (no disrespect meant to comic fans, it is just too complicated for me). I don't understand how the saga got so muddled to begin with if I'm honest; but I'd prefer to keep it as is than have the slate wiped clean so to speak. My hope is that the future of SW respects the artistic integrity of those who have gone before and contributes something cool without stepping on any toes. But I guess that's what we all hope. So to address the topic, I infer from your post that there is an all too common problem with conflicting stories. Do you feel that newer works are more careful about this than the early days of EU?
I think they were certainly more careful for a while at least. Sue Rostoni before she retired did her best to preserve a certain continuity. Even so, certain things fall through the cracks. Sometimes small things, like references to Vaapad in Darth Bane: Path of Destruction, and larger things like Ahsoka Tano. (A perfect example of someone I choose to reject from my canon.) But I'm not sure that I'm fully against writers contradicting each other on minor levels at least. I mean large things, like the death of a character should be upheld, but small events and interpretations of events let authors interpret their characters in new ways. Sometimes I hate this, examples: Shadows of Mindor, Deathtroopers, and the Jaden Korr books. But it allows it to branch, also allowing the community to grow in different directions. Again, this can and is painful, (see examples above again) but it may be good for us in the long run. Keep in mind that none of this will prevent me from ranting about the next Jaden Korr novel. It would take an act of God for that. I guess what I'm trying to say is, much as we love it, we can't be so attached to it that we can't let it grow creatively. Even if it hurts sometimes.
I'm surprised by your Ahsoka revelation, don't you like her? Good point about allowing the saga to grow creatively, I certainly wouldn't want to limit artistic interpretations on characters. However I have found that sometimes those interpretations can seem out of place. As an example, I remember reading Truce at Bakura (a long time ago, admittedly) and found the author's version of Luke to be more reminiscent of the Luke from A New Hope, which is fine except that I think Luke matures dramitcally throughout the OT. It surprises me that there isn't more stringent continuity quality control, someone to proof read it and say "you have a real gift for depicting a young Luke Skywalker so we should change the stories timeline to an earlier point." That way artistic interpretation isn't compromised and the story fits into the timeline better. Anyhow, I'm glad that it isn't just me who has needed to develop a coping mechanism to deal with continuity. I haven't read any Jaden Korr novels but the name does ring a bell. Wasn't he or she a character from the Jedi Knight game? What is it about the stories that make you rant?
In my opinion, the EU has no place for anakin having an apprentice. Totally subjective, but her existence offends me. Jaden Korr was from Jedi Knight III: Jedi Academy. The book follows his adventures with insane dark-side clones, bizarre events I blotted from my mind, and soul transfer. Not palpatine style, technological soul transfer. Weird junk that I disliked.
Ahh so your almost addicted to Star Wars in that you'll read it no matter how bad it can get? I can understand that It's a funny thing about Star Wars that even if there is a plot point that is so far out to be obsurd, if is is presented well it becomes way more believable. I remember playing KotOR back in the day and absolutely loving it but in retrospect I now find to contain some strange stuff that I'm not sure fits. The Nightsister Magic of The Clone Wars is like this for me too.
I won't read anything quite. After reading Death Troopers I won't read that author anymore at all. I heard Red Harvest by him was even worse, so I'm glad I skipped it. The Jaden Korr one it's very much: "Let's see if this can genuinely get any worse."
I didn't mind the personality transfer in the Jaden Korr books - it's not so different from Darth Bane 3 or the 'flash-learning' process that the Clones were put through. It also sets up an interesting question for later in the timeline (if we are allowed to get that far). My EU is the two later Jedi Knight games and the books. At nearly 57, I feel a little too old to be reading comics (not that I've ever seen any in ordinary newsagents, anyway). TCW isn't broadcast on a channel that I can access (not that I watch a great deal of TV) - if they want to put it on an ordinary broadcast channel I'd probably have a look, but the character drawing in YouTube clips that I've seen doesn't seem to me to be anything like a good rendering of the actors in the films. And if I want more information, there's always Wookiepedia!
Well, I'd agree. I only starting buying comics when Legacy started (as in buying monthlies), and that feels old to me. A TPB suits me just fine, if at all. TCW I can hit or miss, but a good book suits me fine
Sinre what is a TPB? Follow that thought Tim; what interesting question gets set up for later in the timeline? I thought the same as you about TCW at first but after a few years the real actorsd and animated characters have become one to me. I do wish RotS could be re-dubbed using Matt Lanter's voice for Anakin. It's a funny thing that I like the character so much more now we have an actual actor that can portray him. Speaking of TCW, there are only three people who replied to this thread and none of you like the show. Is there a bit of resentment towards it because of the way it steamrolls through established canon? Zark and I mentioned the Mandalore retcon earlier but that might not upset people to any great extent because of the whole Karen Travis thing.
Trade Paperback, a collection of comics, usually an arc or series of arcs, from a comic book series. My resentment for TCW stems from the fact it is revamping a timeline that "I was happy where I was" with and it doesn't even work with the films, namely RotS. I simply don't understand how Anakin could have been knighted so early and had a Padawan and so many other things TCW has done.
Hello Zeta pleased to meet'cha Thanks for the TPB clarification, I never got into comics so had never encountered that abbreviation before. Are you refering to the Ahsoka plotline/hole? That Anakin doesn't make any mention of her in RotS? Also, iirc in the early days of TCW is was thought of as a continuation of the Genndy series which is whay Anakin is already knighted. It lloks like Lucas, Filoni and team backslid on that as the series went on. I wasn't happy about that because I loved what Genndy Tartakovsky and team brought to the saga so to see all that swept aside is sad and somewhat insulting.
I am referring to everything, the retroactive addition of Ahsoka, Anakin and Dooku dueling several after AotC but before RotS instead of never, the way the CIS has been portrayed, and so many other things. I am perfectly happy with the Clone Wars multimedia project timeline of the Clone Wars, hence "I was happy where I was." I simply refuse to watch or accept TCW because of everything it is doing.
Riptide Spoiler: Has any of clone-Jaden's One Sith programming survived, and if so, how much? It may be a moot point now, of course, after Apocalypse! Problem for me is that too major a change of appearance from the films would leave me cold - it might just be a consequence of viewing the clips in a very small format, though - but I simply didn't recognise Anakin (if it was really supposed to be him) on the Mortis clip that I saw. Mandalore has been re-retconned into a shape that (hopefully) more-or-less satisfies all. As for Anakin's early Knighting, I can see that happening in wartime.
That. Honestly, it's as if they just decided that all previous work was worthless so it was time to just trash it in favor of this new timeline. I confess to finding it somewhat offensive. I know some people are against this sort of thing, but I would be okay with multiple canons like DC and Marvel. They have their alternate earth's with alternate canons that don't have to intrude on the one you like.
Hi, welcome here I don't think you have followed the situation very closely if you think that a) the Mandalore additions didn't upset people and b) whatever it is your saying about Karen Traviss has any bearing on the situation. There is a huge level of resentment towards TCW and its canon destroying tendencies, and how it frankly altered what LFL would be publishing book wise - as in the cancelled Imperial Commando & Boba Fett novels.
Oops, I suppose my previous words could do with some clarification. What I meant was when there was a discussion forum on starwars.com Karen Traviss was very active in the Mandalorian circuit of threads, which I know because I was there too. At the time of her Republic Commando series there was some conflict on the boards about Clone Army numbers or somesuch. I didn't get involved in those arguments but carried on supporting her works and enjoying them very much. Fast forward a year or so when TCW season two aired and I watched the Mandalorian Plot episodes with growing dismay. I thought I knew all there was to know about Jango Fett, the Mandalorians and the Death Watch. That was pretty much when I left SW, only returning earlier this year after coming to terms with the changes and giving thge saga another go. (I was just upset but deep down I still loved it and ultimately couldn't stay away, plus I was in the initial throws of a protracted bereavement and distanced myself from all that I loved in order to avoid negative associations). When I came back I learned that Karen had stopped working with Lucasarts I also learned that a fairly vocal group weren't unhappy to see her go (just listen to the forcecast clone wars roundtables from season two). So what I meant by "but that might not upset people to any great extent because of the whole Karen Travis thing" was that I was under the assumption that the majority of people were not of the same mind as me and shared the views of the forcecast hosts. I certainly didn't mean amy disrespect to anyone. Moderators, please don't close this thread. My intentions here are not to open old wounds and grudges, or stir up any resentment. The point of this thread was to ask how others have dealt with that process of seeing something you care about being altered in order that I don't go through the same sort of thing again now I'm getting back into it. Also, I was hoping to discover what other EU works have had the same sort of thing happen to them so that I am forwarned when I read them. I am also hoping to find a way of reconciling TCW and EU, both being things I don't want to lose.
IMO there are those who like KT's work (me among them) and those who - to varying degrees - don't, on this board! For me, TCW is mainly a non-event as (a) I can't access it and (b) there are only a few novels set in that timeframe - but, like Rob, I was deeply dissapointed that the remaining Commando arc suddenly dissapeared. Leland Chee, Jason Fry and Pablo Hidalgo seem to have (at the expense of compressing the pre-TCW stories into the new TCW timeline) done an amazing job of retconning everything together (all but six comic issues, so I understand). There have apparently been minor retcons on various EU works in the past - but nothing on that scale. What might happen in the future (re. the new films) no one knows, as yet - we don't even know when they will be set in the timeline.
It's interesting reading these different perspectives on how each of you have approached TCW. Because I've pretty much come the opposite way, from movies to Clone wars to books, my viewpoint is different apart from the Republic Commando series debacle. Do any of you have any feelings on how Dave Filoni is trying to keep as much EU intact as he can, referencing it whenever possible in the show?
Sorry if I came on too strong above You've been away and missed a lot, far more than I'll go into here . As for the Forcecast, I think that show is terrible. I never really liked it, but then when a petition was created to respectfully ask George Lucas to maintain the EU one of the hosts went way overboard and called EU fans who supported the petition "kooks" and made some comment about how 'we' were what was wrong with Star Wars - well they completely lost me at that point(not that they ever really had me anyway ) As for Mr. Filoni - I won't blame him for doing what he is told, keeping his job and working in a universe that he loves. That said I'm pretty hesitant to give him much credit here. Yes, he has done some good things - but he's become essentially a GL yes man, if he wasn't in the first place.
Whoever is in charge, they need to research. I personally hate a lot of stuff in the EU novels, but I don't like to see huge retcons/de-canonizing. It's disrespectful, messy, annoying and LAZY.
Yeah... Most of this discussion goes completely over my head? Is this a podcast/talkshow/interview thing that was done?
It's cool Robimus, I should have been a little clearer You have me curious about what else I've missed. The goal of this thread was to get advice on how others have dealt with this continuity changes. You're holding out on me by not telling, but if it's too controversial or personal I understand your reticence. Calling other fans "kooks" is not cool. I didn't hear that but I'd be pretty annoyed by that too. The way I see it, in paying for a book, comic or anything else you enter into a implicit agreement with the author that what you have bought is in some way significant to it's subject matter unless otherwise indicated (eg, Infinities comic series). To have that material you have paid for be subject to change on the whim of one person is just crazy to me. So to be a little put out about having your time and money wasted and to be called a "kook" to boot is bang out of order. I don't listen to the regular force-cast podcast as I find I just don't have the time but I have enjoyed the Clone Wars Roundtable weekly shows that discuss each episode with the hosts Jimmy Mac and Jason Swank and a panel of guests. Although I like the show, I have found the views of the hosts to be a little anti EU for my liking at times. I recall that during the Mandalore Plot episodes from season two they were quite dismissive of the changes to continuity regarding Jango Fett, Mandalorians and Death Watch with the view that it's GL's universe he can do what he wants. My view has always been that if that's the case maybe he should be more like JK Rowling and not let anyone else in. To be fair, the panel often includes Kyle Newman, Paul Bateman and Jay Shepard who add a more balanced opinion because they respect the EU a lot more. I admit there are a few things that don't make sense to me personally. Having the Emperor reincarnated in the bodies of clones sort of takes away from the story of Anakin Skywalker bringing balance to the force. I love the Old Republic era storylines but some of the ideas are a bit far fetched to me, like the Emperor who can drain an entire planet of life and all. In my D&D days we'd call that munchkinism (in this case on the part of the DM: ie,author). However, once that idea has the Lucasfilm stamp on it, I think must be considered as meaningful to the series as any other piece of lore; just because I may not like it doesn't mean other people agree with me. So I agree that the person doing the stamping had better know their stuff.

Defamation suits deal with making false statements about a person. Rush did not make false statements. Even if one were to completely miss the parody/satire involved in his statements, you still can't sue someone for calling you a 'slut' since it is a statement of opinion rather than fact.
The 'woman being unchaste' laws are relics of the past - actually winning a suit like this would be akin to the local DA putting you in jail for not having a musket and powder at the ready in your home in case the British invade.
Consider the fact that under your interpretation of the law, everyone in the past 10 years that claimed Bush was 'stupid' could be sued for defamation since the man clearly is more intelligent than the average.
Actually, they very much have relevence today, given this reaction to an "unchaste, unmarried woman."
The accusations made were that she IS a slut and a prostitute (his words), and that she wants the gov to PAY HER to have sex. Those are absolutely assertions as fact. There was no parody or satire involved, the man is a well-known bigot and hate-monger (that _is_ fact, born out by his own actions and statements, unlike her accusations against the woman in question).
Read the sources I linked, people _have_ gone to jail for these crimes, and IN THE LAST DECADE.
As to your comparison to Bush, calling someone stupid is an insult, not defamation (the fact that he IS stupid ,supported by his driving multiple companies into the ground, being beside the point, and in spite of his amazing ability to put less stupid people in positions of power around him; might be more accurate to call him an idiot savant). Accusing someone of promiscuity (especially given that it's impossible to disprove), has direct impact and harm, and if baseless (as his comments were and are) can be found in violation of defamation law.
Some of those sources also go on to address the topic of "when and if you should file charges" over defamation, BECAUSE of the first amendment concern. Not all speech is protected, and harmful speech is not necessarily protected.

LEXINGTON, Ky. -- Even a coach who loves passing as much as Steve Spurrier knows there are times his South Carolina team must run the ball to win games.
The sixth-ranked Gamecocks discovered that Saturday night against Kentucky.
Trailing 17-7 at halftime and held to just 26 yards on the ground, South Carolina outrushed Kentucky 174-7 in the second half and scored 31 unanswered points for a 38-17 victory.

Marcus Lattimore rushed 23 times for 120 yards and two second-half touchdowns and Kenny Miles added a 17-yard run as the Gamecocks (5-0, 3-0 Southeastern Conference) scored on five of six possessions. They also moved into a tie with Florida and Georgia atop the East division, with the Bulldogs coming to Columbia, S.C., next week.
"We knew as a team that we had to establish the run," said Lattimore, who had five carries in the first half.
"We worked on our power play and had some success. ... I wasn't frustrated at all. We just had to run the ball a little more.
Connor Shaw chipped 76 yards on 19 carries along with passing for 148 yards and two scores, including a 30-yarder to Damiere Byrd that awoke the Gamecocks from a sluggish first half.
Kentucky (1-4, 0-2) outplayed South Carolina the first 30 minutes despite losing quarterback Maxwell Smith on the first series with an ankle injury. Smith, returning after missing last week's Florida loss with a separated shoulder, was replaced by freshman Jalen Whitlow.
He got the Wildcats going with 8-yard touchdown run and Raymond Sanders added a 10-yard score, and for a while it looked as if they would pull another upset at Commonwealth Stadium. Kentucky won the last meeting here 31-28 with 21 unanswered points.
Instead, the Wildcats totaled just 65 second-half yards and were outgained 348-243. Whitlow was intercepted twice and sacked six times, including four in the second half.
"I was holding the ball too much," said Whitlow, who finished 12 of 23 for 114 yards. "We got some sacks and interceptions."
Before that South Carolina got little, Spurrier's frustrations was obvious as he walked off the field. But the leaders did all the talking for him in the locker room.
"Our guys really had a good look in their eyes, nobody was pouting," said Spurrier, off to his first 5-0 start as Gamecocks coach. "Maybe we learned something about ourselves as we go forward."
Byrd's touchdown catch seemed to jump-start South Carolina, which went ahead to stay on Miles' TD.
"We had a lot of missed opportunities," Byrd said, "but we were able to take advantage in the second half."
Smith was tackled low by Byron Jerideau. His cleats appeared to be caught in the turf and he immediately grabbed his left ankle, lying on the field for several moments before heading to the bench.
Trainers taped the ankle and he tried to walk on it before heading to the locker room for X-rays.
That again forced Whitlow into an emergency situation but the difference this time was the freshman's weeklong preparation.
It didn't show immediately as he was quickly sacked after replacing Smith, but after the defense twice denied Shaw on two runs at the 1, Whitlow made the work pay off.
Kentucky went 94 yards in 16 plays, helped by Raymond Sanders' 28-yard run and two by Jonathan George for 25 yards. Whitlow, with great protection, chipped in a 20-yard pass to DeMarco Robinson before Sanders got the Wildcats down to the 5 and settled for Craig McIntosh's 22-yard field goal and an early lead.
South Carolina eventually regrouped to lead 7-3 as Shaw led a 64-yard drive helped by his 37-yard pass to a wide-open Ace Sanders, who added a 3-yard touchdown reception two plays later.
Kentucky scored on its next two drives covering 67 and 34 yards, the latter of which was set up by its special teams as Daron Blaylock leaped over the protection to block Tyler Hull's punt that A.J. Legree recovered.
Whitlow's passing and running got the Wildcats a 10-7 lead, connecting with Legree twice for 26 yards followed by two runs covering the final 12, including an 8-yard scoring scramble.
Raymond Sanders' 10-yard run made it 17-7 with 1:52 left in the half.
The Wildcats got another scoring opportunity just before halftime when a snap sailed over Shaw's head and was recovered by Taylor Wyndham at the 10. It failed when Whitlow was stripped of the ball, and despite Kentucky's recovering the ball at the 3, the clock ran out before it could run a play.
That turnover summed up an out-of-sync first half for South Carolina, which began when Bruce Elllington dropped Shaw's first pass. There went his quest to match Tee Martin's SEC record of 23 consecutive completions, and little improved afterward for the Gamecocks.
"I sat back too long and maybe (it was) receivers not getting open," Shaw said.
They were outgained 173-108, as the Wildcats limited Shaw's passing and running. He was also sacked twice and South Carolina punted twice.
The Gamecocks came out more focused and physical in the third quarter and wasted little time taking the lead. Shaw hit Byrd in the back of the end zone for a 30-yard touchdown to close within 14-17, and Miles put South Carolina ahead on the next possession.
"Coming out in the second half, we knew that we didn't have a good first half," Gamecocks defensive end Devin Taylor said. "Our whole plan was to come with the intensity that we didn't show."

Cash Cycle Management for Banks and Retailers
Optimization of the Cash Cycle Across the Whole Process Chain
Decades after the introduction of credit and debit card payment systems, cash is still king. Yet cash handling remains costly. Time consuming, repetitive, unsecure, and elaborate procedures expose cash at all points to potential theft, shrink, and accounting error. In supermarkets, for instance, total cost of handling cash at a single checkout amounts to around $9,000 to $12,000 a year – roughly three-quarters of the total cost of ownership of a POS system. In c-store applications, shrink alone can cost upwards of $20,000 or more per year per cashier.
With our advanced, industry-leading Cash Cycle Management portfolio, Wincor Nixdorf is pioneering cash handling optimization. We focus on the entire end-to-end process chain – POS cashier to back office to bank, teller counter or ATM to safe. Wincor Nixdorf works with numerous banks and retailers to customize a solution that fits their unique business processes. Additionally, banks and retailers can also outsource their entire cash process to Wincor Nixdorf, allowing them to focus on their core business.
Hardware. Using smart deposit, cash dispensing and recycling systems, it is possible to completely automate, secure and shorten the entire cash cycle. Money is never handled by an employee. Wincor Nixdorf's field-proven range of innovative equipment features standard setting ergonomics and security specifically tailored to the numerous challenges of the banking and retailing industries.
Software. Wincor Nixdorf was the first company to develop many software solutions now in standard use in both the banking and retail sectors. We developed the world's first multi-vendor software solution. We were the first to adopt standard Windows software for both cashier POS stations and banking ATMs, and we continue to lead the industry in development of comprehensive software suites that not only track cash handling processes, but intelligently predict cash needs and provide constant tracking of all equipment parameters across a network. Wincor Nixdorf spends more on R&D than anyone in the industry. Our software relies on precise mathematical optimization models to analyze the entire cash cycle, track all cash usage in real time and providing precise expected cash demands across your entire network. In this way, total cash needs are often able to be reduced by over 25%, resulting in savings of millions or even hundreds of millions of dollars, an incredible benefit to industries often used to thin profit margins.
Consulting. Wincor Nixdorf relies on a whole business structure approach to cash cycle management automation. Our focus in not on machines but on overall network performance within the limits of each unique organization. We utilize a comprehensive toolset of consulting and support modules ranging from analysis of structures and processes to profitability and piloting, among other processes.
- Services. Our exhaustive portfolio of services includes machine installation and maintenance, remote monitoring, optimization and control of cash-in-transit operators, outsourcing of both hardware and processes, and nearly any other cash handling process that affects your business.

i am thinking about downgrading to a GTX 660Ti bcs i rarely use my GTX 680 as much as i actually want to. Bcs of time (busy with other stuff and no feeling well) and there actually ain't that many games am playing plus i am waiting on BioShock Infinite, GTAIV and Need For Speed Most Wanted 2012 to get release but i still think a GTX 660 Ti can handle that or am i wrong when i say 1080p? i am only playing gaming in like window mode 1280x720 atm og using it as decoding of blu-ray, h264/x264/ccv1 codec and i what i have seen in tests it even does well at 1920x1080 and not that much lower than GTX 670 but have the same amount of cuda cores. so which should i go with all 3 under 310euro's shipped to my door. Asus GTX660 Ti-DC2OG-2GD5 ASUS GTX660 Ti-DC2OG-2GD5 (hardwareversand.de) MSI N660Ti Power Edition 2GD5/OC MSI N660Ti Power Edition 2GD5/OC (hardwareversand.de) EVGA GeForce GTX 660 Ti SC+ 3gb EVGA GeForce GTX 660 Ti SC+ 3gb (hardwareversand.de)
2GB is plenty for anything up to 1080p, but the best deal in 660 Tis right now is the Newegg rebate on the Giga for $285. It performs on par with the ASUS and MSI and only the ASUS beats it on noise and temps, but just barely. Need I remind you that the 670 that stole the show was the non ref, ref priced Giga Windforce, and this one has the Windforce 2 cooler. That said, the Giga or EVGA OCed 660s are an even better deal at $230. The 660 Ti is actually a bit over-built CUDA core wise for resolutions beyond 1080p, and that's the ONLY area where it exceeds the 660 in it's hardware specs. That's why in most benches at 1080p the 660 Ti only beats it by a frame or two.
Frag Maniac i can't do newegg i am from dk and i am only allowed to import for about 13,49 USD or else i need to pay taxes and it will be more expensive ^^; that's why i choose germany bcs i can pay whatever computer parts i want there no extra taxes needed plus plus i ruffly save around 84USD / 66euro from dk prices atm.
So if I'm to buy I really should try aim for the Ti model, it's a little more than the £200 mark I was aiming for, would I see the difference to be fair?
Nothing beyond the norm... 1080* and some of the recent titles such as Max Payne 3, Dirt Showdown, Syndicate and the likes of.
No more ASUS 660 Ti TOPs around though, they stopped making them I guess. Hardware Canucks did a shootout containing that card, and although it won on OCing, the Giga won on temps and was barely edged out by the TOP on noise, which indicates were the TOP given enough fan speed to match the temp of the Giga, they'd be dead even on both. It was also rather enlightening that although the TOP pulled ahead on ave frames when OCed, it also had more of a tendency to fluctuate a lot in frame rate, in many spots dipping below that of the competition. The Giga was the clear winner at factory settings and since it more stable than the TOP was on frame rates even when OCed, I would have called it the overall winner, esp considering the lower price. The review sites tend to rate with the mindset of an extreme OCer though, no matter the tradeoffs.
from my point of view downgrade for moment busy times and little sick is nonsense but for the card go for the gtx 660ti power edition and take a look at this GTX 660 Ti Max Overclock Review - MSI Power Editio...
This review shows the Giga edging out the MSI. http://www.hardwarecanucks.com/foru...ti-roundup-asus-evga-gigabyte-galaxy-msi.html It's faster, cooler, and quieter. Also more stable in it's frame rate window than the ASUS TOP. The only slight negative was a flimsy feeling cooler shroud, but I argue that a shroud if too large can just trap more heat. MSI has best bang for buck on MBs, but on GPUs I lean toward Giga lately.

Franklin has been booming in population, rising by more than 50 percent from 2000 to 2011.

Reading the Shah, and Ayatollahs in Tehran and What the U.S. Should Learn from the History
January 24, 2011 by admin
Filed under Featured, Interviews
Huffington Post- What has been the root of the U.S'. inability to develop a sustainable policy or strategy on Iran for the last 30 years? What was not learnt from the Shah's fall in 1979 and the nature of the revolutionaries who hijacked a pro-democracy freedom movement? And what are the parallels between the Shah's regime and the current Islamic government in Tehran?
These are the types of questions that have been raised in my extensive interview with Dr. Abbas Milani, author of the recent book, The Shah, and the Director of Iranian Studies at Stanford University in California.
While the Iranian government continues to curb social and political freedom in Iran, particularly after the post-presidential unrests which resulted in killing of dozens and arresting thousands of people, the author of a recent book, The Shah, provides a comprehensive image of parallels that contributed to the fall of the Shah and is now being perpetuated by the Islamists in Tehran.

I have a bedside table that I bought from a co-worker more than 25 years ago. It was part of an undistinguished set that included a mattress and bed frame. When I got the set, the finish was tired and worn.
Initially, I painted it a pretty violet shade, a colour chosen from my quilt. Then I moved to another house and bedroom and repainted the set a soft green to complement the floral print of a new duvet cover.
Somewhere along the line, I parted company with the bed. Perhaps it left home with one of my children – I can't remember. But I still have the night table, which is one of those small flexible pieces that can be tucked into any room. It's a keeper.
About ten years ago, I repainted it again with a finish that I will probably keep for as long as I own the piece. The finish looks perennially fresh and fits as an accent with any style of décor.
The source of my inspiration was (and is) a lovely old book in our collection at Central: The tiger rugs of Tibet by Mimi Lipton (Thames and Hudson, c1988).
According to Lipton, the origin of Tiger rugs is speculative and their history may date back more than 1000 years. Tigers enjoy a prominent place in Tibetan art and culture.
Tiger rugs have distinct types. Some depict one or two tigers; others are abstracted designs from the markings on the pelts. The finish on my night stand is based on the latter type.
Although tiger rugs are still being made and sold, I have not often seen them in Calgary. I recently spotted a small one at Tibetan Trom in the Eau Claire market. The shop had a copy of Lipton's book on hand as a resource for shoppers. You can also find tiger rugs online.
To create the finish for my night stand, I used water-base enamel paint. After painting the background colour, I drew the pattern on lightly with a marker and wrapped it around the edges of the drawers onto the sides – a pleasing effect.

Chase Freedom Visa Card $100 Bonus Promotion and 5% Cash Back
By Sun

- Chase Bank
- Rating:
- 5
Chase Freedom Card is one of the best rewards credit cards. It allows cardholders to earn 5% cash back up to $1,500 on selected shopping categories every quarter and 1% cash back on all other purchases. The card has no annual membership fee and there's no limit on rewards you can earn.
Chase Freedom Card, one of the best rewards credit cards, is also one of my favorite cards to earn cash back for everyday purchases, though now I only use the card to shop in those categories that offers 5% cash back. I used to charge almost everything on the cards, from groceries to gas, but changed the way how I use it after Chase switched its rewards program from direct cash back to reward points, which can be redeemed for cash or gift cards, a couple of years ago and started to rotate rewards categories every quarter. Nonetheless, the card itself is still very attractive because 5% cash back is very generous these days, even though you can't get the 5% rebate everyday and need to remember when to use it because the shopping categories change every three months. From October 1, 2012 to December 31, 2012, get 5% Cash Back on up to $1,500 spent at hotels (on hotel rooms purchased directly with the hotel), airlines (on tickets purchased directly with the airline), Best Buy® and Kohl's. You'll enjoy new 5% categories every 3 months like grocery stores, movie theaters and more. It's free and easy to activate your bonus each quarter!
And to make the card even more rewarding, Chase is now offering $100 promotional bonus to new cardholders after $500 is spent on purchases made within the first 3 months after account opening. This is an improved offer from the promotion Chase had last time in June. In that promotion, you had to spend $1,500 in 6 months in order to receive the same amount of bonus. In my opinion, the one-time cash back bonus is very generous and the spending limit for the bonus is quite low.
Even though the Chase Freedom Visa Card currently rewards cardholders based on purchase categories, which has recently been expanded so that more purchases are eligible for higher cash back rewards, you can still earn cash back if you charge the card with everyday purchases that are outside the 5% bonus cash back categories. The standard rebate for everything else is 1%, which is very common among rewards credit cards nowadays.
The Freedom Card has no annual membership fee and there's no limit on how much cash back you can earn on the standard rewards categories. For the 5% bonus rewards categories, you are allowed to earn up to $1,500 cash back each quarter. That's equivalent to $10,000 spending every month, a pretty large amount of money to charge on the card.
Details of this $100 bonus offer are shown below.
You will receive 10,000 bonus points with this bonus offer, which can be redeemed for a $100 check. To qualify and receive your bonus, you must make purchases totaling $500 or more during the first 3 months from account opening. Purchases do not include using your account for balance transfers or cash advances, or using any checks that access your account. After qualifying, please allow 6 to 8 weeks for bonus points to post to your account. To be eligible for this bonus offer, account must be open and not in default at the time of fulfillment. This one-time bonus offer is valid only for first-time cardmembers with new accounts. Previous and existing cardmembers/accounts are not eligible for this bonus offer.

Gurthalougha House, Estate of the Day
Filed under: Estates
Billionaire John Paul Getty III has listed his Irish hideaway, Gurthalougha House in County Tipperary overlooking the river Shannon. Homes and Property UK reports that Getty and his mother Gail moved into the 12-bedroom Victorian shooting lodge 12 years ago and paid an estimated £1 million. Getty is also actor Balthazar Getty's father.
The home is on 100 acres that is brimming with wildlife and scenic beauty. The main home has been well renovated and is a mix of formal spaces as well as cozier alcoves full of antiques and interesting paintings and other works of art. There is also a two-bedroom guest house. This property is now listed for £4.5 million through Knight Frank.

NBA PM: Clippers Reluctant to Deal Bledsoe
The Los Angeles Clippers' search for a shooting guard doesn't seem to be coming to an end anytime soon. The team has been looking for backcourt depth since Chauncey Billups' season ended with an injury, but league sources have told HOOPSWORLD's Eric Pincus that talented, young point guard Eric Bledsoe is not going to be dealt unless the team is blown away by a proposal.
As previously mentioned, league sources have told HOOPSWORLD's Alex Kennedy that Portland Trail Blazers guard Jamal Crawford won't pick up his option this summer. And since he's on the verge of becoming a free agent, sources said he's likely to be dealt before Thursday's deadline.
However, the Clippers aren't interested in a rental, which is why they're reluctant to part with Bledsoe.
And why are the Clippers being so hesitant?
Well Bledsoe is the team's only guard who's signed beyond the 2012-2013 season. Mo Williams has a player option for 2012-2013, Chris Paul's deal expires after that season and both Randy Foye and Billups are set to become a free agents after this season. And considering that Crawford is intent on becoming a free agent this summer (a good decision considering the dearth of shooting guards around the league) the Clippers aren't willing to deal a prospect such as Bledsoe for a few months of Crawford.
Nets Interested in Diaw?
That's a pretty misleading sub-headline. The truth is, the Nets are interested in acquiring an expiring contract in an effort to unload the remaining years of Jordan Farmar and Johan Petro's contracts. Now, the two haven't done anything to warrant being traded (they've been solid backups who have all too often been forced into starting roles because of injuries) but the real goal here—as always—is cap space.
If Farmar picks up his option—which isn't really in doubt—the Nets would owe a combined $7.75 million to him and Petro next season. But if you could expunge those deals from the books, the Nets might not only be able to sign Deron Williams, but Dwight Howard and possibly another star as well. Sources have told HOOPSWORLD that a third star would greatly increase the chances of landing both Howard and Williams.
That's why it wasn't exactly a surprise to see Charlotte Observer reporter Rick Bonnell tweeting that he'd heard from "multiple sources" that the Nets have inquired about Diaw's $9 million expiring deal.
The Nets have two first-round picks to work with (as long as the Rockets don't end up in the lottery) and while those are valuable in themselves, multiple rookies would take up cap space. In other words, New Jersey's front office could be motivated to trade the pick they received from Houston as part of last year's Terrence Williams trade, although I've yet to hear that from any league sources.
Hill Returns to Houston in time for trade circus
Third-year big man Jordan Hill is returning to the Rockets rotation after a knee injury kept him out for nearly a month. The good news is that he moved well in the Rockets' last two games, registering five rebounds and a block in 16 minutes between Saturday's win in New Jersey and Sunday's loss in Cleveland. He did pick up four fouls in seven minutes against the Cavaliers, but that sort of rust can be expected whenever you're coming off an injury.
The more immediate concern might be the trade winds that are howling through Houston. Hill hasn't been mentioned by name in any rumors, but as someone who was traded by the Knicks to create cap space leading into the Summer of LeBron in 2010, he knows he can be swept out of town simply to facilitate another deal.
"I definitely feel that people definitely have that in their head worrying about the trade talk if they're going to be here the next day," he told HOOPSWORLD. "The trade deadline is not here yet so you know we just feel we have to go out there and have fun and play until it's time to go, but definitely after the trade deadline (our) focus (will be) on what we need to do to keep running (toward) the playoffs."
Hill has enough to worry about without knee problems and trade rumors.
He entered the league as a power forward, but at 6-10, 235 pounds he's been deemed big enough to handle center duties, which means he's had to make some big changes to his game in the last year and a half. Hill doesn't lack the confidence to defend centers—or anyone for that matter—but he does admit it takes some attention to detail.
"It's just a mental thing," he said. "Right now I feel like I can go out there and guard a 3-man or 2 man—just got to go out there and move your feet and work hard and stay active and stay mentally focused when you're on your man. That's what I been trying to do this season and it's working out pretty good. But, you know, I still need a lot of work too."
Hill's numbers have been respectable so far this year (4.7 PPG, 4.7 RPG in 14.6 MPG), but he's still struggling to take that next step. Thankfully, he has a coach in Kevin McHale who knows a thing or two about playing in the post.
"It's been real good," Hill said. "He's a great mentor, a great, great player back in the day and you know I just want to go out there and have fun while I'm on the court. Coach, it's definitely fun to play under him, so I just have to go out there and do what I have to do and have fun."
If he stays with the Rockets as opposed to being dealt by Thursday's deadline, Hill could have a chance to excel under McHale's guidance. After all, power forward Luis Scola could be on his way out of town and center Samuel Dalembert's contract isn't guaranteed for next season.
Hill has 24 more regular season games to carve out a rotation spot for the playoffs and next season. And if he can do that, there's no telling where he could go from there.
Ilyasova, Ellis named Players of the Week
Bucks forward Ersan Ilyasova and Warriors guard Monta Ellis were named the Eastern and Western Conference Players of the Week respectively, which is interesting because both players could be traded by Thursday's deadline.
Ilyasova helped push Milwaukee to a 3-1 stretch last week which included wins over Philadelphia and New York. He averaged 25 PPG while making 63.8% of his field goals, 66.7% of his 3-point attempts and 90% of his free throws. He also added 10.8 RPG, which is why he was able to register three double-doubles last week.
Ellis, meanwhile, helped Golden State to a 3-1 week by averaging 20.5 PPG, 7.5 APG and 2.0 SPG. He too made 66.7% of his 3-point attempts.

We'll -- concern today over the number of soldiers voting overseas.
The US military sees a huge drop in absentee ballot requests this election season by service members ahead of this November election.
In Virginia alone there's been in 92%.
Drop in such requests why.
It's happening despite the implementation of -- 2009 boating law which was supposed to help military voters get their absentee ballots overseas.
-- -- -- is the founder of the military voter protection project he is not happy.
Eric YYE.
Is it's so -- 92% drop in Virginia a military heavily military state.
Yeah it's you know it's it's really shocking.
But most of the fingers point straight to the Pentagon.
The new law that was passed in 2009.
Was supposed to help.
Make it easier for our service members to register and request an absentee ballot.
The inspector general issued a report of course about.
Three weeks ago that indicated that the Pentagon did not implement that law did not fully implement that -- if they were supposed to.
And now overseen an anomaly in Virginia but throughout the United States are shockingly low numbers of -- about -- requested by US service members and their spouses.
So the dead.
Would be ballots are not getting to the guys and gals were serving -- -- overseas they're supposed to be setting up these.
Little regional offices and the Internet in Afghanistan correct where the guys in the gals can go.
And get their ballots.
Absolutely I mean this was supposed to be much like what civilians receiving a driver's license branch you walk into the driver's license branch.
And -- the first questions they ask you would you like to update your voter registration form.
When congress passed this -- in 2009.
They wanted Department of Defense to do the exact same thing for service members when they check into a -- duty station they're handed a bunch of forms.
Why not give them one -- -- so they can update the voter registration information.
Why wouldn't they do enemy attack -- it's not like you know.
I mean it's the Pentagon that's that's that's where these guys work basically why wouldn't they be taking care of our men and women in uniform.
Well you know that's a good question I think there are -- if there's plenty of time after the election that.
To figure out what exactly went wrong I personally believe that part of it is just.
Simply bureaucratic inertia.
You know the let's face that the Pentagon does a lot of things really well and keeping us safe but sometimes on some of the social issues -- really just doesn't have the motivation.
That I have with other issues and part of that simply because are focused on keeping America safe I get that.
But we're talking about it right that our service members are defending.
We really have to get out there and make sure those who are on the front -- -- of defending freedom ought to be able to participate -- It happened that it happens to -- five spyware before it is -- their boat -- they're they're.
They're not gonna get to vote.
Absolutely not we need every service -- we've set up a website called heroes vote dot org where service member can go win.
Very quickly register and request absentee ballot.
It takes maybe five minutes they can get that get a sent into their local registrar and they'll have about seven to ten days.
Part of that's because you know they can send -- via email.
It's not too late but we need him to visit heroes vote dot org so we can try to fix this -- as best we can.
You know there are supposed to make it easy for these guys because they're number one concern when they're over there is not getting their absentee ballot as important as the right to vote is that that's not a word of -- staying alive.
Getting better their families and so on so we're supposed to be facilitating.
This process for them.
I don't wanna -- people's votes but I mean if you if there are hierarchy you'd think the men and women are up there fighting for us would have.
The utmost importance in terms of who they want for this presidential election but.
That the Pentagon is saying it doesn't it doesn't have the resources that congress passed this law.
But they didn't give them the funding to set up all the troops need -- that they can facilitate the ballots being passed out Eric.
Well I don't I don't buy that at all they -- they received an appropriations 75 million dollars in FY eleven at like twelve.
75 million dollars to say you don't have the resources to make sure that our service members.
Can't receive.
Other -- -- -- participate in this election.
I just don't buy it it's one more excuse and I don't you know that's the time for excuses -- pass we can talk about excuses after the election.
But now we need to make military voting the highest priority.
We need to make sure that every single one of our service members get that opportunity to register request asked about it we need to do it now before the deadlines.
Come upon us.
Now it is that the survey show that these these voters tend to favor the Republican presidential candidate in this election latest surveys that it was.
This is back in May that it said that they -- Romney 50% to Obama 34 they tend to lean right he's military voters but.
They don't Volvo unit and and you say this year is the worst it has banned in terms of the voting assistance being provided which is really too bad Eric thank you.
Thank you.

The stickers of Minnie are impossible to get on straight because the place you put the sticker is rounded and not straight. It looks bad when you put the stickers on and there is no rubber strip on tire to keep it from slipping on tile and wood so I only recommend for outdoor use. Good thing about it is its easy to assemble, small, durable and my baby loves it.

I really like light mode... Would be nice to have an alphanumeric menu though... I am guessing this is not possible with current xbmc.

So how do those extra fanart/thumbnails work? Possible with movies not in their own folders?

Wow... very cool. Those full configs look fantastic. Now I am torn... I like seeing all the fanart but i like those full config screen shots. Wish there was a way to scroll the text information up on demand, that would be perfect.

is that your final design or are you taking suggestions? I personally would perfer rounded corners on the posters, just my opinion, but other than that , it looks awesome.

And user B would prefer angled corners, while user C prefers a list with 100 items on it, while user D prefers...
Cheers for the suggestion, but I'm with user B. |

If you're taking any suggestions I think it would look better if the top of the screen didn't have that area that's not covered by the transparent overlay.
This is the area I'm talking about: Of course some tweaking would need to be done so it doesn't actually cover the time/date. EDIT: BTW great work on this view! |

I like this view - especially the light. I assume it would be possible to set it up so you have the light view and when you press I for infromation it shows the top section like in the other setups.

The living/dining area Dinos Chapman, who shares the former reservoir in Kent with his wife, Tiphaine de Lussy, and their two daughters, was keen to preserve as much of the character of the exposed concrete as possible. The dining table is a bespoke piece made from recycled timber that sits at the heart of a long, open space at the front of the house, with the kitchen at one end and a fireplace and seating area at the other. The dining chairs are a mixture of vintage 1957 rosewood Scandia chairs by the Norwegian designer Hans Brattrud for Hove Möbler Stordal and CH24 Wishbone chairs in beech by Hans Wegner for Carl Hansen (available from skandium.com).
