In a one on one battle, in terrain non-particularly advantageous to any one tank, which modern main battle tank do you think would win? M1A1 Abrams? Chinese Type 99? Some other tank?
I reckon the Type 99 would win, considering they seem to at least match the Abrams in armour and exceed it weaponry.

Here in New York last week, digital media and advertising commentators were all talking about the role that digital and in particular, social media, was going to play during the Super Bowl TV ad breaks. With advertisers paying about $3.5 million for a slot, this has been another record year for TV ad revenue and the show was the most watched TV event in American History.
Sunday night was going to be #Hashtag-Heaven, we were told – or at least a #FacebookFrenzy, with brands falling over themselves to drive people off their 47 inch flatscreens and onto their other devices – the so-called 'second screen'. So you'd think that the ad execs would have thought the web in all its forms - mobile, tablet and laptop - would be the place to go make sure they extended the reach and level of audience engagement worthy of such an expensive commodity.
You'd be wrong.

Two BY RYAN ROBINSON, Staff Writer
Police have released the names of two drivers killed in a head-on crash in East Donegal Township on Monday evening.
Bainbridge residents Darlene R. Crick, 45, of 215 Race St., and Frederick M. Janiec, 55, of 726 Stackstown Road, died in the accident, according to Susquehanna Regional police Lt. Stephen Englert.
They were pronounced dead at the scene, Lancaster County Coroner Dr. Stephen Diamantoni said. Autopsies were planned Tuesday afternoon.
The 4:46 p.m. crash happened on an open stretch of road near 1406 River Road, Englert said.
Janiec was driving a Ford Taurus station wagon south when he drifted into the northbound lane and struck Crick's Volkswagen, Englert said.
Crick's car came to rest in a field, Englert said. Janiec's car ended up in the north lane, facing north.
No cause of the crash has been determined, and the wreck remains under investigation, Englert said Tuesday.
Roads were wet but not icy at the time of the wreck, he said.
There were no passengers in either car.
Crick was driving from work at the time of the crash, Englert said. Police think Janiec was on his way to New Jersey. His family lives there, and he works in Cranbury, N.J.
Police know of some witnesses of the crash, Englert added.
Police ask anyone with information to call them at 426-1164.

South Carolina State's Paris Alston made a jumper to cut the score to 26-21 with 2:47 left in the first half. But South Carolina held the Bulldogs scoreless for nearly eight minutes between the two halves, scoring 15 straight points to claim a 20-point lead—its largest of the contest.

What is "spoofing"?
Spoofing is, generally, the act of one person pretending to be someone else, usually in an effort to scam someone or otherwise commit either fraudulent or fairly malicious acts. The word "spoof" is often used in entertainment to mean a type of media that uses imitation to parody another program or work of entertainment. In the sense that it is used in security and fraud, however, spoofing is used because a person is using imitation to appear to be another person or service and gain sensitive information or otherwise maintain an advantage over the unwitting victim.Category: Keyword Search: email

With the recent resurgence of news stories citing the formal cancellation of "Bond 23" (the next James Bond film, where Daniel Craig would be working with director Sam Mendes), Activision finds itself in a peculiar spot of timing with James Bond 007: Blood Stone. There's no movie to tie-in with, so this is basically the only, "new James Bond experience" for 2010 -- here's hoping that we get something closer to EA's excellent Everything Or Nothing rather than the lackluster Quantum of Solace. Now that Blood Stone has been formally announced this morning, we shot some questions over to producer Nick Davies over at developer Bizarre Creations.
1UP: Because of stuff like the HMV retail leak a while
back, there's a lot of confusion about Blood Stone. Is it a driving
game with a Bond skin, or is it a mash-up of The Club with PGR,
or what. So can you clarify, once and for all, what Blood Stone
actually is?
Nick Davies: Blood Stone is an original James Bond
action-adventure game starring Daniel Craig, with a new original story
written by Bond writer Bruce Feirstein [GoldenEye, Tomorrow Never
Dies, The World Is Not Enough]. I can understand the confusion to
some extent based on a few leaks, however this is the first time we've
really had a chance to talk about the game so I hope we can clear all
that up from today.
Although there are a lot of people on the team who have worked on The Club and the PGR series, this is a completely new experience. So to be clear: it's a new game, new engine, and a mix of third-person cover combat, a cover-based takedown system, and some spectacular driving. In essence, Blood Stone is everything you would expect to see from a Bond film -- only built from the ground up to be a Bond game.
1UP: So what's the overall structure of the game -- what's the ballpark ratio or mix between the elements you just mentioned?
ND: The majority of the game is played in the third person perspective, as it's a cover combat based game, but unlike many games in that genre, it also features the ability for Bond to perform takedowns using cover; so Bond is able to drag people over and around items in the environment. Additionally, we have five driving levels included in the game -- they are pretty intense action-packed sequences, so each of the driving sections of the game stands out as a highlight. We made sure that we had a solid representation and a really cool mixture of classic Bond, in addition to more original vehicles to keep things interesting
1UP: Can you give an example of what happens in a typical five-minute sequence?
ND: I think the best thing about this game is that there isn't a typical five minutes; we've really mixed up the experience, so in any five minute span the player could be on land, sea, or air in any one of our exotic locations. One minute, Bond is breaking into casinos with his silenced Walther, the next he is blasting through Siberia in an Aston Martin DBS. Bond movies are always about the action variety -- about not knowing what Bond will do next and I think we've definitely captured that essence in Blood Stone
1UP: Story-wise, how does this relate to the official Bond canon? Is it part of it, or is it a non-EON Productions canon story like Never Say Never Again? Especially in light of how people think this isn't part of the Daniel Craig era, due to how the game supposedly casts Adam Croasdell as Bond.
ND: The game is certainly part of EON productions. We work closely with the guys at EON and the game story was written by Bruce Feirstein. In both Casino Royale and Quantum of Solace we've seen Daniel Craig's Bond become a 007, and then seek revenge for the death of Vespa. In Blood Stone, you'll play as Bond in a completely stand alone adventure; against a whole new set of enemies and with a new set of allies.
I'm sure Adam was a little taken aback when all of the stories went out about him playing the role of Bond; to be clear, Adam did the body motion capture for Bond in a number of scenes. We're using Daniel Craig's voice and likeness, as he is James Bond. No one else could take on that role, and we wouldn't want to develop the game without him. Also, we used Daniel's stunt double, Ben Cooke, for all of our action sequences in Blood Stone. Ben was also our stunt coordinator, so we've got an amazing set of authentic Bond moves for the player to enjoy.
It's the collaboration of all of these things that makes it a Bond game. We have an original story from a Bond writer, we have Daniel Craig driving Aston Martins, along with Dame Judi Dench. Blood Stone also features Joss Stone as our new Bond girl, which is very exciting. Joss Stone will provide an original [and exclusive] musical track to the game. I don't think there's much more we could add to this game that would make it more "Bond like".
1UP: I realize these are from direct competitors, but I'm curious: did anyone on the Blood Stone team play either Everything Or Nothing or 007 Racing? Any thoughts you can share on either of those?
ND: For me Everything or Nothing is the best Bond game ever made -- nothing comes close to it in terms of showing the variety and essence of Bond, so of course we played that. It was probably the first game we dusted off as soon as we knew we were making Blood Stone. I also jumped straight onto Ebay and picked up most of the old Bond titles; I was actually quite surprised how many quality titles there have been (and how many games you can buy for about £2!), with EoN being my favorite, but Nightfire is also a great game. I have to admit I haven't played 007 Racing; I seem to remember having a blast of it back in the PS1 days, but to be honest I've no idea where my PS1 is these days anyway.
1UP: Bizarre's games have traditionally been a bit different than expected. PGR wasn't just about racing -- it was about driving and getting Kudos. The Club wasn't just about shooting -- it was shooting with points and style. Geometry Wars was a shooter where people most remembered trying to survive without shooting at all. Blur is "real" racing with power-ups and combat. What's the main quirk, or rather, the "Bizarre Creations stamp of identity" for Blood Stone?
ND: With PGR, The Club, Geometry Wars and Blur, we had the opportunity to do something different, as they were original IP. For Bond, we want to create a cinematic feel, fitting of a Bond experience, so we've deliberately moved away from scoring systems, and combos, etc. We talked a lot in the early days of development about adding features like this, but we felt it took us away from what we wanted to achieve, which was a complete Bond film experience in a game. However, we've certainly have plenty of nice gameplay features and hooks in there to keep savvy gamers on their toes.
1UP: Can you talk about the conception of Blood Stone? Was it always a Bond title, or was it perhaps a different concept initially that transformed into a Bond game?
ND: Blood Stone, from inception, has always been a Bond title -- it has been built from the ground up in that way and with that specific goal. When Activision initially asked us to work on the project, we knew it was going to be a huge challenge. Quantum of Solace had been criticized for being very much a first-person shooter, so we knew the expectation of the Bond fans would be for us to deliver something that showcased all of the action-variety of a Bond movie, hence us bringing in the hand-to-hand and combat elements, along with the driving sequences. We pitched it as the complete Bond experience, and that's what [we're trying to deliver]. The team knew that just skinning The Club wasn't going to work, as the pace was different, the number and type of moves we had just wasn't suitable for the Bond franchise.
1UP: Any specific callbacks to Bizarre's past work within Blood Stone?
ND: Only that we've learnt a lot from previous games that we've managed to bring through into Bond, but this game is a very different departure for us compared to our previous titles. The Club was a quirky title that we'd have loved to have been embraced by everyone and turned into a huge franchise, but I think it ended up being too quirky for its own good. That ended up a bit of a cult title (which I'm sure is what everyone says when their game doesn't sell a lot!), and we don't want to go down that road again. We want to make quality titles that a wide audience of people want to play and enjoy. Working on the Bond franchise gives us the opportunity to really create something with a high production value that appeals to more of a mass market, whilst making sure that it's a polished piece of work that the hardcore can also enjoy.

Woodland church welcomes family friendly funny man
Date: October 21, 2009
by: Michael Eng | Executive Editor
MANATEE COUNTY — Chiacgo native Jeff Allen's first attempt as a stand-up comic wasn't the polished, perfectly executed performance for which he had hoped.
It was Thanksgiving 1978. Allen was working at a jewelry store at the time. But on that holiday, he had garnered enough guts to take the stage at a local club.
"I went up there, and it was just awful," Allen said.
And even in the first few years of his comedy career, it didn't get better.
"I even had one club owner tell me, 'Don't make this your career,'" Allen said.
Good thing Allen didn't listen.
After more than 30 years in the industry, Allen has become one of the most famous Christian comedians in the country. He has performed on HBO, ABC, VH1, Comedy Central, Showtime and more. He also was one of the featured performers at the 2005 Presidential Inauguration.
And this Sunday, Allen will perform in the East County at Woodland, The Community Church's tailgate event at Lakewood Ranch High School.
During Allen's early career, he battled the tough comedian lifestyle — spending hours on the road only to perform in dank comedy clubs littered throughout the country. He turned to alcohol to soothe his depression, but that didn't work.
Allen found Alcoholics Anonymous and got sober at 31. Nine years later, he became a Christian, which changed his life forever.
"I remember my last show in the club scene," he said. "It was in a casino in Vegas on 9/11. I couldn't get out. I thought, 'There must be a better life.' I wasn't offering anything to anyone. I was just babysitting drunks and getting a paycheck for it."
Inspired by his faith, Allen contacted his agent. Together, they carved out a new niche — Christian comedy.
"The cool thing about churches is that people are used to sitting still," Allen said.
The road did present its own hurdles. Allen recalled one show in Detroit on a New Year's Eve. After the show, he received an e-mail from an audience member.
"The kid wrote, 'My mom dragged me to your show," Allen said. "He wrote, 'How funny can a guy be if he's working at a church on New Year's Eve?'"
Fortunately for both Allen and the author of the e-mail, he could be hilarious.
"He did say he enjoyed the it," Allen said.
Today, Allen's show features family friendly hilarity — often taken from his relationship with his wife and their children.
"It's comedy for everybody," Allen said. "You don't have to go to church to get it, that's for sure."

EU demand more money; NO, NO, NO!
I was back amongst the mud and hens this morning. We did eventually reach Cambridge but by the time we did so it was time to turn around and head back. We were only away for a day, but the number of irritating national topics still multiplied like rabbits on heat.
First amongst them was the news that we are now being pressed to contribute more than £25 billion to a new eurozone payout. Despite Britain being outside the eurozone, European officials are demanding Britain hands over what would be the second largest donation. The matter will come to a head today when George Osborne attends a meeting of finance ministers.
The demand is over and above the £12 billion for which we are already liable in respect of loans made to Greece, Portugal and Ireland. Last night Peter Bone, the Tory MP for Wellingborough, urged the Chancellor to stand up for the "British interest", even if he is as isolated as David Cameron was just days ago. Douglas Carswell, the Tory MP for Clacton, said; "George Osborne has spent 20 months going along with the bail-out and it has cost this country billions which dwarf the austerity measures. He needs to call a halt now". RIght across the Tory ranks the same sentiments were echoing and, predictably, only the Lib Dem members of the coalition were urging that yet another fortune be handed over.
The view of the people became clear with the results of the latest opinion poll. Suddenly the Conservatives have a huge lead over Labour with the Lib Dems having all but vanished. Whatever Cameron's motives may have been, his refusal to bow the knee to the bullying tactics of Merkel and Sarkosy won widepsread acclaim. It may well be that the insults subsequently poured out by the French helped more than a little.
Surely Osborne will not now agree to a payment toward a club we have spurned. Should he concede this he can wave goodbye to any hope of a co-operative approach from those now suffering the effects of cuts. Just for once he should glance back to the stance of the sainted Margaret. She gave a whole new meaning to the words No,No,No!
Nick Clegg will today signal that Lords reform will be the key parliamentary battleground of next year by promising that the Queen's speech will include plans for an elected upper house that will be forced past peers if necessary. Predictably, the Labour Party has said nothing.
Surely it is high time to put an end to undemocratic privilege. Many believe that the honours system itself is a relic of a bygone age of an empire that no longer exists, but tackling the Lords would be a good first step.
There is only one question. Clegg will reveal that 20% of the Lords will still be "by appointment". So all those prepared to fund the Tory party will still be able to earn ermine!
Gareth Malone worked a near miracle when he persuaded a large group of military wives, most of whom had never sung other than in their baths, to form a choir. Now they are on the brink of topping the Christmas charts with 'Wherever you are'.
Wonderful! For too long our troops in Afghanistan have been locked into a war that only politicians see as worthwhile. They have been betrayed and their families left in permanent anguish. They have felt lonely and isolated. They have lacked a voice.
Now they have one. The proceeds of the single will go to charity, it is our chance to show support for the forgotten half of our troops who face mortal danger for a lost cause.
-- Download EU demand more money; NO, NO, NO! as PDF --
One Response to "EU demand more money; NO, NO, NO!"
tell the French where to go. Make the Lords reform 100% or don't bother at all. Buy the Military wives single which is based on letters home from the neglected troops.

CHEF JEFF — ONE BYTE AT A TIME:Yellow Split Pea Dip
If you like hummus, here's a nice change of pace.By: Herald Staff Report,
If you like hummus, here's a nice change of pace.
Yellow Split Pea Dip
12 1½ cups dried yellow split peas
2 bay leaves
A few peppercorns
2 garlic cloves, peeled
5 tablespoons olive oil
Juice of 2 lemons (5 tablespoons)
1 tablespoon capers
Sea salt and pepper to taste
A handful cilantro, chopped
A handful scallions, chopped
Combine 5 cups water, peas, bay leaves, peppercorns and garlic in large soup pot. Bring to boil. Reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer uncovered until thickened, about an hour, giving it an occasional stir. Peas should have absorbed most of water, be tender, not mushy, and retain their shape. Cool slightly. Remove bay leaves and peppercorns. Smash garlic cloves into peas by hand. Texture should be coarse and rustic. Whisk in olive oil, lemon juice, capers, salt and pepper. Stir in cilantro and scallions just before serving.
Yield: Serves 8.

The process for a county-wide football is one step closer to reality, as Union County superintendent Ken Basil has a temporary coach selected to help start the program in the fall of 2009.
East Union's Chris Basil has agreed to help start the program, as he is a firm believer in the school board's desire to have a county football team.

HOW CITICHOLINE IMPROVES THE BRAIN: When people ingest citicholine, it breaks down into two components. In the brain, these components recombine, where they are used as a raw material to stabilize neurons in the brain. This leads to increased production of neurotransmitters, and research indicates that it improves the function of the brain, assisting with cognitive function and memory.
WHAT ARE NEUROTRANSMITTERS: Whenever a cell receives a signal from another cell, an electrochemical impulse passes between them. The second cell passes the signal on by releasing a chemical known as a neurotransmitter that stimulates the nearest neighboring cell to release its own chemical messenger, and so on. This is how the brain communicates with the rest of the body and controls the various functions. There are many different kinds of neurotransmitters: molecules whose primary function is to deliver packets of information from one neuron to another.

I worked security at Slidebar that night.
The bartender called the cops, not the manager, as I recall. Popov had a standing order to say that any homeless problems outside were to be handled by calling the cops and saying that someone´s lifting handles on cars. If they were inside causing trouble you were supposed to call the cops and say that you THINK you saw a gun. Otherwise the police never come; not unless you make those claims. No one that´s ever met Popov would claim that he´s good to the homeless, or that he´s a decent guy. He´s not exactly a class-act.
The other security guy, Baby Huey, and I saw Thomas screaming and jerking-off at the bus depot as we walked from the parking garage to Slidebar for our shift. We mentioned it to the head of security (Will), and rest is history.
That´s what really happened, if anyone cares to know.
