By 144 Socks
from Santa Rosa CA
Loved the brown socks for the pattern and the slight leg support. I would love to see other colors in pattern with support. I have black and cream in diamond patterns and they have lasted years: however, you no longer offer them. Is there a possibility that you could?I think there is a !0% discount which does not matter at all to me. I am looking for the pattern.

News: Diddy & Notorious B.I.G. Borrowed 2Pac's Swag, Says A$AP Rocky [Video]
Wednesday, Dec 19, 2012 11:15AM
New York rapper A$AP Rocky recently gave his thoughts on hip-hop's infatuation with high-end fashion lines and why the late Tupac Shakur is most responsible for a lot of today's trends.
In A$AP's opinion, Pac helped influence music rivals Notorious B.I.G. and Diddy to start flaunting expensive luxury clothing in the mid-1990's.
"It all started with a man named Tupac Shakur. First of all, Gianni Versace said that he was the most beautifulman, like he was in love with Tupac. He first started like messing with Tupac by giving him clothes. He really admired his art and all of that. And that's when, no disrespect, you saw Puff and you saw B.I.G. start wearing Versace after that. Tupac, he kinda did do it first. He was actually getting it for free. ... R.I.P Pac, R.I.P. B.I.G. R.I.P. Big L." ("The Breakfast Club")
Earlier this year, Pac's family members spoke on his close-knit relationship with Gianni Versace.
Tupac Shakur's family members believe Suge Knight is dead wrong -- the rapper couldn't have been a homophobe ... because he was GREAT friends with Gianni Versace. Suge has been on a media blitz recently ... telling multiple radio stations 2pac ended his professional relationship with a famous hip hop star because Suge believed the rapper was a gay man. But sources close to the Tupac estate tell TMZ ... the Shakur family feels very strongly that Suge's claims are "totally false" ... and point to his friendship with the famous designer Gianni Versace, who was an openly gay man. In fact, Tupac reportedly participated in a Versace fashion show in Italy back in 1996 ... and even rocked a Versace suit on the catwalk. (TMZ)
Renowned Italian fashion designer Donatella Versace recently spoke on the late Notorious B.I.G.'s love for the line prior to his 1997 passing.
"I think Biggie was amazing. He came to my shows in Paris many times, and we'd see each other often. He always used to talk so nicely about my family. I think he was so smart, so intelligent. He had such a mind. So I loved what he was doing and how he was giving people a way to know about Versace--I do think he was giving people a way to know about Versace--I do think a lot of people started to know about Versace because of him." (The FADER)
Recently, A$AP Rocky came to iconic rapper Lil Wayne's defense over his dicey choice in clothing attire.
"People can say what they want about him with the way he dresses. I hate the way he dresses. I'm keeping it 100 with you. It's very tacky at times. But that's what he chooses to do. Get off his d*ck! If that's what he chooses to wear, OK. At least he's not wearing it 'cause he saw some other lame motherf*ckers wearing it. That's when I don't respect it. He's doing him! Maybe it doesn't work for you, but it works for him. So we need to get off his d*ck and let that man be legendary." (Complex)

Ultimate Giants top Cardinals 20-6 in WCFLBy Jodie Wagner
The Ultimate Giants played well on offense and defense Sept. 18 in a 20-6 victory against the Cardinals in a WCFL competition.
The offense produced 205 total yards. The unit was led by Joey Guelli (42 yards rushing, 1 TD), Michael 'Bear' Bram (20 yards rushing), Anthony Broderick (20 yards rushing), Caleb Mackrey (22 yards rushing), Johan Henry (21 yards rushing), Jordan Sauer (4 yards rushing) and Caleb Gordon (70 yards rushing, two TDs, two extra points). Gordon also had a 60-yard kickoff return to start the second half.
The Giants' rushing success was keyed by the blocking of linemen Nicholas Iannone, James Hightower, Kael Fertil, Trace Philips, Stephan Gryskiewicz , Evan Delerme, Aiden Guaglione and Mike Koppleman.
The defense allowed just one touchdown and denied the Cardinals on their only extra-point attempt. The unit was led by Bram, who had 12 tackles. Other defensive leaders included Gordon, who had five tackles, Guelli with two tackles, Broderick with seven tackles, Iannone with one tackle, Johan Henry with seven tackles, Jordan Sauer with seven tackles, Ray Colaiacovo with five tackles, Trace Philips with five tackles, Anthony Kauper with one tackle, Joey Azzinaro with one tackle, Aiden Guaglione with two tackles, Mike Komlo with two tackles and Nicholas Thomasevich with five tackles and one fumble recovery to end the game.
Linebacker Zachary Brent missed the game with a broken thumb.

Pandora's Tower Reviews
"Until I Return To Your Side"Posted : 2 years, 2 months ago on 4 June 2012 08:51
In the last couple years, the Wii is losing sales due to focusing on the casual market instead of the hardcore market. People are losing interest on the Wii switch to other consoles for more choices. While there are very few games left on the Wii's lifespan. There are three that have alot of potential to be good while each one very different. In last year, Nintendo of Europe wanted to show one of the three but Nintendo of America say they have no interest in releasing that one and the other two. It went to the point that some fans even created Operation Rainfall. They did as much as they could to convince Nintendo to reconsider their decision. In this year, two out of the three is released or releasing soon. The first is Xenoblade Chronicles which is called one of the best RPGs of this generation and released last April. The second one coming out in July 10th The Last Story made by Final Fantasy creator Hironobu Sakaguchi. The third one however is only released in Europe so far with no word of its release in the US. This third one is Pandora's Tower.
The plot is that Elena is singing for the kingdom of Elyria's Havest festival but however an monster attacked the festival. Our somewhat silent hero Aeron go's and find Elena and escapes with her from the army. They ran into the mysterious merchant named Mavda that takes them to the wastelands near an Observatory. Aeron finds out that Elena has a curse that turns her into a monster as time go by. Mavda gives him the Oraclos Chain and tells him to head to the Thirteen Towers. Each tower has an master he must beat, if he beat each one. He has to take the flesh out of them and Elena has to eat each one to remove the curse forever.
The gameplay is similar to Zelda that you have to solve puzzles to get around places and some cases defeating enemies to get by. To get to the master's room, you have to destroy parts of it's chain in different rooms to unlock the door. You have the sword to attack at the beginning and if you hold the A button, you can do a special attack for more damage. However the gameplay is more about the chain than the sword and the other weapons you get during the game. You use the chain for puzzles, getting to places, and attacking/blinding enemies. However this is not a game to be exploring a lot, you have to watch the gauge that show you how much Elena has left before she turns into an monster. She starts turning when it's at purple and that happen to me while in the tower, and you have to leave the tower to give her meat to set the gauge back to the beginning. This may sound annoying at first but this game makes backtracking very convenient that the puzzles you done are still done and you can go shortcuts to get back where you there at. Not to mention there is an item to sends you back to Elena so you don't have to rush back to the beginning part of the tower. When you face a master, you have to watch its movements to find the weakness to take advantage of the fight.
While not in the towers, you can talk to Elena, give her gifts that she will like, and requests to translate books for you. This you have to do a lot since this increases the bond between Aeron and Elena and this will be important for getting one of the five endings depending on how much you increase it. You can also talk to Mavda that has a shop opened for materials, healing items, and gifts. You can give her flesh, and papers you not using to get money. You can create items that you don't get in the towers like armor from materials. Lastly you can upgrade your weapons for more attack power from using materials.
I really like the concept of this game that is pretty well thought out with tons of background information to keep you interested. This game did really well in making you feel bad for Elena. The one time the gauge goes down to purple and I went back. I saw Elena has transformed abit and I felt bad for letting it happen. Since that I always make sure I leave the towers when the gauge is halfway so she doesn't transform. The time limit system works really well, when you in the towers, they will be shortcuts to find/make to make exploring not annoying. I have to say using the chain is pretty fun with the controls good and the difficultly being fair. The boss fights are pretty fun to do finding out what works and what doesn't work to your advantage. The music is really good fitting with the themes of this game. However I wish they made Aeron more interesting as he is kind of bland and you don't learn much about him besides a few cutscenes. Also the second half of the towers can be tiring due to it being the same as the first half with the exception of the last two.
Overall with some flaws, Pandora's Tower is a good game with an interesting concept, fun gameplay, good music, and good use of the time limit. I recommend trying this out and I really hope Nintendo release this to the US.

This guy forgets the Stonehenge blocks came from over 300 miles across water from another quarry in Wales !!! They are MASSIVE and until you see them you can not imagine there size !! His idea is interesting but it does not answer all the problems of the construction of Stonehenge
Pateriot July 11, 2011 2:16:03 AM CEST
This is proof what one man and a little inenuity are able to accomplish. I suddenly puts the thought of anceint mankind being able to accompplish massive feats of building into the realm of extremey plausible. So much for ancient high technology and alien intervention nit-wittery.
Whizkid July 11, 2011 1:23:08 AM CEST
How did he get the block there in the first place? How did he initially get it off the ground to start using his counterbalance technique? Interesting, but leaves some important questions unanswered. Nice post, though.

Ed Tangles With A Bike Cop
by Thomas MacMillan | March 18, 2009 12:16 PM | Permalink | Comments (70)
After Ed Stueckle saw a bike cop riding on the sidewalk, he told the officer that he had his "head up [his] butt." Matters deteriorated from there.
The encounter — of which Stueckle and the officer offer different versions — was the latest flashpoint in an ongoing, often confusing debate over who can ride bicycles where in New Haven.
Yale Police Officer James Yacono was pedaling by on a Chapel Street sidewalk when Stueckle took the opportunity to tell him that, according to the municipal code, he was breaking the law. He also, according to Yacono, called him an "asshole."
Officer Yacono wheeled around and engaged Stueckle in a heated conversation that ended with the issuance of a $103 ticket for "creating a public disturbance."
Stueckle (pictured), who's 44, has lived in New Haven for over ten years. He's a 1998 graduate of the Yale Divinity School and, he claimed, the pastor of a local church, which he declined to name.
Five years ago, he said, a police officer biking on a New Haven sidewalk nearly struck him. Since then he has made a practice of telling cops when they are cycling where they shouldn't be.
It's a common sight to see both civilians and cops biking on downtown sidewalks rather than on crowded one-way streets. However, Section 29-10 of the municipal code prohibits sidewalk bicycling. The matter has been the subject of controversy recently. Cops conducted a crackdown on civilian sidewalk cyclists, fining them for a behavior in which bike cops themselves participate. Find related stories and reader debates here, here and here.
At 4:30 on Friday, Feb. 27, Stueckle was walking down Chapel Street towards High Street, on his way to a haircut following an afternoon meal at the Copper Kitchen. As Officer Yacono pedaled past him on the sidewalk, heading in the opposite direction, Stueckle said to him, "It is illegal for you to have that bike on this sidewalk."
According to Stueckle, Yacono wheeled around and said, "I'm a cop, I can do whatever I want. You need to check the municipal code."
Stueckle said he responded, "If and when you hit me or someone else, you will end up being sued along with the university."
Yacono then asked for Stueckle's name. "My name is Rumplestiltskin," Stueckle said he responded while still walking down the street.
"Well you look like you've been asleep for 20 years," the officer said, according to Stueckle (who assumed that the cop was confusing Rumplestiltskin with Rip Van Winkle).
Stueckle said at that point, "I told him he had his head up his butt."
"This did not sit well with him at all," Stueckle said. He claimed that Yacono began calling him "Pierre," using "a very derisive and derogatory tone." Stueckle wears a beret.
Officer Yacono began riding away, but Stueckle called after him, "Why don't you get a real job?"
According to Stueckle, Officer Yacono responded by getting off his bike and saying, "We've got a real problem now. You've just breached everybody's peace."
"You're going to jail," Yacono said, according to Stueckle.
"On what charge?" Stueckle asked.
"You'll find that out later," Yacono replied, according to Stueckle.
Faced with the possibility of spending the weekend in jail, Stueckle pulled out his cellphone and called his lawyer, Attorney Steve Jacobs. Two more Yale officers appeared, and Stueckle made a point of letting them all hear that he was talking to his lawyer and planning to pursue legal action against the police officers.
After receiving his $103 ticket for creating a public disturbance, Stueckle told the officers, "I hope you gentlemen have enjoyed working for Yale University," implying that he was going somehow to get them fired.
Stueckle said that he's sent his ticket in with a plea of not guilty. "I'm not paying some stupid ticket." He said that he is preparing a letter to request the officers' service records and was considering further legal action.
Yale: Sidewalks Are OK
Officer Yacono's official incident report tells a slightly different story.
The officer notes that he was "safely riding" his bicycle past Stueckle and had circled back because he thought the Stueckle was trying to ask him something.
The report states the Stueckle shouted, "You're not a real cop anyway, you're just a Yale cop, asshole," disturbing several pedestrians, including "women and children." According to the report, Stueckle twice called Yacono an "asshole" during their conversation.
Stueckle said that he couldn't recall whether or not he had used the term.
Yale spokeswoman Gila Reinstein said Wednesday that Officer Yacono "behaved in a professional manner and acted appropriately."
Reinstein said that police officers are allowed to ride on the sidewalk. "In the performance of duty, a Yale police officer is permitted to do that."
Reinstein said that she doesn't know where that permission is recorded but that the municipal codes prohibition of bikes on sidewalks does not apply to police officers.
"Of course there are exceptions," she said. "That's why police officers can put on flashing lights and go through red lights."
Reached by phone, New Haven Police Spokesman Officer Joe Avery was asked if police had permission to ride bikes on sidewalks. "I don't know," Avery said. "It's a good question. I don't know."
Avery said that he assumes that police are not allowed to ride on sidewalks, except in emergencies. He said he doesn't know if that rule is recorded anywhere.
Brison Bikes By
On Tuesday, as Stueckle was recounting his run-in with the law at the scene of the incident, Alderman Allan Brison rode by on the sidewalk, munching a bagel.
Contacted later by phone, Brison said that he was aware that he had been breaking the law by cycling on the sidewalk. "I bicycle downtown quite a bit and once in a while I am on the sidewalk," Brison said. "I probably should have gone down George Street."
"This whole thing is difficult because bicycles really don't have a place," Brison said. "There's no way I'm going to ride down Whitney Avenue on those narrow lanes."
Brison said that for the past year he has been using his bike or public transportation for all of his aldermanic business, never driving to any official meetings.
"I would like to see policemen able to ride on sidewalks even where others are not," Brison said, arguing that bike cops should be able to have more access to sidewalks, to help them negotiate one-way streets like Chapel.
Brison also proposed allowing civilian cyclists to use city sidewalks in areas with fewer pedestrians, or where car traffic made it dangerous for bikes to be in the street.
"It isn't right for bicycles to be totally excluded from the sidewalk," Brison said, arguing against a "blanket statute" regarding bikes on sidewalks.

Radical bikists -- would you allow a senior citizen to ride his bike on the sidewalk? A child? Or must they ride in the street?
Posted by: cedarhillresident | March 18, 2009 12:28 PM
ok just to confirm... I work right around the corner from Yale's new Sec. office. More than once I have seen their bike cops on the side walk, and even driving the wrong direction!... I have made the small gesture of loudly saying... breaking the bike laws... only to be ignored... but I was just hoping it would sit in their heads. So I believe Ed was right...after all they ticket people for doing that exact thing (and not a cheap ticket!)

I agree with Brison and Alphonse - the statute needs to be reformed. Look at what other bike-friendly cities have.

Walking home from work on the sidewalk not too long ago I came around the corner of a building and a young man on a bike going really fast almost hit me. If I had not stepped so that my body was sideways, I would have been seriously injured, and who knows, maybe permanently injured.
More than often, bikes pass me on the sidewalk from behind. I can't hear them coming. They can't know if I'm going to step into their path.
This is all about safety folks, and I know I'll be the first to hire an ambulance chaser should I actually get hit by a bicycle.

I'm not sure it's that bad for bike cops to be on the sidewalk. They generally go pretty slowly and it better enables them to do their job of keeping on eye on things. With of all New Haven's one-way streets, they need to go on the sidewalk to be able effectively get where they want to go.
That said, bike cops on the sidewalk should only be temporary. The City needs to get its act together and turn Chapel (and other streets) into two-way streets, which will slow traffic and make them more accessible to all bikers - cops included.

Berkeley CA instituted "a program to educate the public regarding the City's ordinance against riding bikes on the sidewalk. Signs and pavement markings instructing cyclists to walk their bikes on the sidewalk and ride in the street were installed"..."additionally attractive posters were distributed to reinforce the message"..."signage was a strong contributing factor in the observed behavior change among cyclists."
Berkeley's ordinance specifies conditional sidewalk use for juveniles and peace officers:
Section 14.68.130 Riding bicycles on sidewalk permitted when.
No person shall ride or operate a bicycle on any sidewalk in the city except:
A. Juveniles, exercising the due care and giving the pedestrian the right-of-way, may ride and operate their bicycles upon the sidewalk, except such sidewalks as are in front of schools, stores or buildings used for business purposes;
B. Juveniles riding or operating a bicycle on the sidewalk shall do so in single file;
C. Peace officers who determine in good faith that riding or operating a bicycle on the sidewalk is necessary to perform official duties. (Ord. 6113-NS § 1, 1992: Ord. 4957-NS § 15, 1976)
Also, add multi-use (bike & pedestrian) zones for less crowded, non-retail areas.

Ed is a bozo. He is constantly baiting cops doing their jobs with profane language and shouts from across the street. Watch him close someday while an Officer is driving by and you will see him giving them the finger and shouting curses at them for no apparent reason.

Here's a question regarding the legal authority of Yale Police? Can the security force of a college issue tickets for laws that are meant to be enforced by the city or state? Since Yale Police are hired by Yale U. and are an extension of the University, what judge or jury does a person appear or appeal in front of when defending themselves against an accusation by a Yale officer. While I'm a advocate for police and the difficult position they are placed in daily while trying to defend us from criminals, are not Yale police officers essentially "Rent a Cops" with no real authority but to police the Univ. properties?
Posted by: robn | March 18, 2009 1:45 PM
It would be a lot easier for everybody to ride in the street if....
1)...traffic safety was enforced...
2)...New Haven eliminated most one-way streets...
I find no exception for police to ride on sidewalks.
New Haven Code of Ordinances
Article 1 Sec. 29-10. Vehicles on sidewalks.
No person shall drive, wheel or draw any coach, cart, handcart, wheelbarrow, bicycle, or other vehicle of burden or pleasure, whether of the same description or not, except children's hand carriages drawn by hand, or permit any horse under his care to go or stand upon any sidewalk or footpath in the streets or public squares of said city, except going in or out of driveways.
So remember people...please keep your horses off the sidewalk.
Posted by: JP | March 18, 2009 1:46 PM
Its the same old story if you let cops bike on the side walk then drivers think bikes belong on the side walk and you end up with the video of that lady almost killing Paul last year. If its not safe to ride on the street then stop riding or change the laws. Bikers always want it both ways. I think its common sence that unless there is an emergency that cops can not ride on the ride walk just like they cant put on there lights and go through a red light.

JP, laws and street designs can't be changed overnight. Until then, people will ride on the sidewalk, ordinance or not, no matter what you try to do. Whether to ticket is a matter of public policy. Do you really want to ticket elderly people, or immigrants with no other means of transportation, who are riding respectfully on the sidewalk for a few blocks in order to get to work? I think that cyclists riding on the sidewalk generally present far less harm than the police ticketing them, from an overall socioeconomic/environmental perspective.
Of course, by all means, please ticket the people riding their bikes aggressively, like the ones riding significantly faster than the speed of a walking person. And ticket the aggressive drivers, too, who are far more deadly. General rule: aggressive behavior should be ticketed in the proportion that the activity is likely to cause injury or death (I've looked at those numbers and statistically speaking, comparing aggressive driving to aggressive cycling, the latter is roughly a 3,500 to 1 ratio).
The police should also be much more aggressive at ticketing people who are riding bicycles the WRONG way on one-way streets, as well as drivers talking on their cell phones, and even aggressive jaywalking, all of which are far more dangerous than any of the above situations.

JR, Yale police are NOT rent-a-cops. They are a fully organized independent police who are armed and have FULL arresting powers, not just on the Yale Campus but for the entire state of connecticut.
They were formed in the early 20th century under the laws that allows certain organizations to form their own police forces.
Here is a recent article about some of the challenges that poses:
Posted by: Bruce | March 18, 2009 3:06 PM
Clearly there is legitimate debate regarding whether people SHOULD be allowed to ride a bicycle on the sidewalk. However, the law is clear in forbidding the practice. Either ride in the street simply walk your bikes on the sidewalk.
I love the fact that we have police officers on bicycles and I do not want them hindered in their duties. I think there is definitely room for debate here considering the dangers bicyclists face in the current system. However, just because you don't agree with a law means you can ignore it.
In regards to this encounter, this sounds more like a schoolyard squabble than two adults debating municipal code. Shouting obscenities at a police officer is no way to get a message across. Next time flag him down and just explain the code. Get his name and file a complaint if he doesn't listen.
Posted by: Goose & Gander | March 18, 2009 3:08 PM
Cops allowed to ride on sidewalks. Cops allowed to use cell phones while driving. Cops allowed, cops allowed, cops allowed.... The general public can't..., but the cops can! What's next, the cops can possess "defensive" weapons, but no one else can. WAKE UP readers, and use your intellect on the patterns that present in these cases! It is called ABUSE of POWER! "I can because I am a cop, and I can send you to jail, fine you, or both!" Sometimes I wonder about our society's collective lack of thinking skills when it comes to these things....

Police need to follow the law they enforce.
Did anyone forget the huge number of tickets given out for sidewalk riding?
It was well into the hundreds and more tickets were issued that month to cyclists than any other vehicle user.
I'll follow the laws--and not complain about tickets--but I expect the police to do the same.
Posted by: Edward_H | March 18, 2009 3:45 PM
This story is just about 2 grown men who should really know better:
Just what was Ed expecting the officer to do when he said ""It is illegal for you to have that bike on this sidewalk." ? Was he expecting to cop to look at the ground and say" I am sorry sir, I won't do it again.Please forgive me."?
Why did the cop bother to confront this guy? If the cop thought Ed was asking him a question once he realized the guy was baiting him into an argument why did he not just get back on his bike and pedal away. Just treat him like a crazy old homeless man. Ignore him. This guy is obviously looking for a lawsuit and a payday.

For all of you whining about "police have to follow the same laws regardless", I hope you remember some day when you are getting the snot kicked out of you or robbed.
I hope when it happens there is a bicycle police officer a half a block away. I hope he has to go 2 miles out of his way by "obeying all the laws" to get to where you are to save you or apprehend the perpetrator.
Probably the same people who post on here all the time about the crappy response time from the police. Everyone wants to have it both ways.

Yale police, have a New Haven police badge. Like stated above they have the same powers NHPD have. Also Yale Pd, And Security go through a police bycle safety course. This is just some info for those that din't know
Posted by: Bunker | March 18, 2009 6:03 PM
From what I saw of the video of NYPD officer who tackled the man off his bike he was way out of line and deserved whatever discipline he received.
As for the BART officer video it appeared to me the Officer immediatley knew he screwed up big time. While I don't think what he did meets the test for cold blooded murder, there definately is a strong case for at least negligent homicide. I don't think he "intended" to kill the man I think he intended to taze him.
Posted by: Power to the People | March 18, 2009 6:10 PM
I believe the statutes as written allow the police to break certain things like traffic laws when they are responding to an emergency so your argument is off base Bunker. However if they are not on an emergency call there is no reason for them to be riding on the sidewalks, talking on the cell phone or running red lights and traffic signs. One way to get good behavior is to model good behavior. One SURE way to get bad behavior is to model bad behavior.
From the looks of it both parties were wrong here and were they really adults it would never have escalated to this level. At least it's Yale that will get sued here (because that's obviously what this Ed guy wants) and not the city.
Posted by: lauraa | March 18, 2009 6:45 PM
obviously this cop wasn't going anywhere too important since he had time to ticket this guy. Of course there are exceptions, but in general, if the cops are overzealously ticketing for a behavior, they should try to refrain from it themselves.
Brison: how about trying to get rid of the no-bikes-on-sidewalks ordinance? Is that something that an alderman could work on?

Posted by: Alex | March 18, 2009 7:21 PM
The police are ethically supposed to set a good example. This is a terrible example for an officer and he should have stayed above the comments and not lowered himself into such derisive statements regardless of the comments of the bike rider. The Yale police have no basis for saying "behaved in a professional manner and acted appropriately." Also, as in East Haven recently, the officer apparently falsified a police report. This is a terrible example of community policing which, unfortunately is dying and mostly dead anyway.
Posted by: Streever | March 18, 2009 7:53 PM
I agree with you on the first part, Alex: terrible behavior from a sworn officer who has a duty to uphold the law he enforces.
When it comes to this story: Someone was rude to you? Yea, that sucks. You know what the rest of us have to do when someone is rude to us? Either at our job or on the sidewalk? Deal with it. Act like grownups. You can bet if I acted as arrogantly as the officer is said to, I'd have been in just as much trouble as the instigator if it came to the police being called.
Yes, a police officer does get a certain amount of flak, I'm certain, but when you are in the wrong, it'd be so wonderful to simply apologize, say so, & move on. I think that's what the ethical code one is supposed to follow would have one do. We'll never know if that would have resolved this issue, because the officer didn't even bother to try.
I don't really understand this comment board. The comments are all over the place. One story over, we have "OMG PPL R DYING" about a Lt in WEB. Over here, we have, "SERVES YOU RIGHT TO TALK BACK TO A COP. HOPE YOU LEARNED YOUR LESSON." It feels schizoid & disconnected from society.
Just as so many of you point out in the other story, in a civil society, one has a right to question authority. Yes, this fellow was rude, but the officer has a legal & ethical obligation to uphold the professionalism of his office. He clearly failed to do that, when he ticketed a walker who is concerned for his own personal safety.

Not to condone anyone taking a 'bad tone' with anyone else on the street, Citizen, but YPD officers don't have some kind of special right to insulate themselves from the typical unpleasant interactions that can occur in a public place. The last thing I knew, being a jerk wasn't against the law. Since I wasn't there, I won't second-guess Officer Yacono on whether Mr. Stueckle was creating a public disturbance, but the idea that the officer had to adopt some kind of hard-line stance simply because it was 'in front of people on the street' is just another form of the kind of macho posturing that in its fuller expression gets young men killed on the street over disrespect.

I'm with MisterJones. Also, what kind of Pastor doesn't identify his church. Isn't the whole point for the Shephard to reach out to extend his flock. How do you do that if you have a secret church?
Yale Univ Police Department and East Haven Police Department are nothing alike.
Normally a police cruiser is driving on the street in the right (correct) direction.
Do you think law abiding citizens are upset when the cruiser is on the sidewalk b/c they have to stop one or more alledged criminals.
However, I'm certain that Yale's Police Chief will review bike riding with his officers. It wouldn't be bad idea if all the undergrad and especially the grad students and their spouses, have to take a New Haven bike safety class.
It annoys be to see Grad Students out on a Sunday riding down the side walk with their children in East Rock. Isn't that nice, the child with the helment and the training wheels.
How should children learn to ride a bike? I'm not suggesting that a toddler learn on a busy street. But maybe you should load the Car or SUV and take them to a park.

A fundamental problem we have in New Haven is a (generally, with some exceptions) collective inability to be friendly and polite. I know its really really cold for half of the year and its an old city with lots of poverty,but maybe...just maybe...if everybody could just try to think before they open their mouth and speak politely and kindly about things, the bad things wouldn't hurt so bad. I'm probably public enemy number one on the subject of politeness, but I'm trying to change...because I'm finding that niceness is infectious.
Posted by: Marshell Rosenberg | March 19, 2009 11:33 AM
Stueckle and Yacono need some lessons in conflict resolution.
Granted, Stueckle didn't take the most appropriate avenue (or sidewalk) for airing his complaint about police officers riding on sidewalks, but is this how police officers are taught how to respond to citizens who are upset?
It's embarassing.

the argument between stueckle and yacono is only relevant because it is a clear demonstration of people not listening to each other to try to come to an understanding.
the real issue is with alderman brison.
mr. brison, a member of the city gov't, is blatantly disregarding city rules and regulations. without a mea culpa.

I am appauld at this nonsense. It sounds like Stueckle goes around town insulting police officers who rightfuly so should be on some of new haven's sidewalks in order to protect the community, its students and [him] ...I bet if there were ever an an incident in one of New Haven's alleys or one of its parking lots, the first thing people like Stueckle will shout is "WHERE'S THE DAMN POLICE". The police in New HAven don't stand a chance with the overflowing ungrateful residents it contains. Just like the Independnet can follow dummies like Stueckle around listening to his lies and dumb accusation about police ..., I certainly hope The Independant will follow the outcome of this case at the time of disposition in court to make sure Stueckle has to aleast pay a fine, hopefully not from the donations box from his "church".
Posted by: Steve Ross, Local | March 19, 2009 4:59 PM
Free Speech,
While I agree that Mr. Stueckle's approach was unwise (and his subsequent threats of litigation pointless chest-beating), I'd like to point out to you that police officers, like any force of authority, is and should be met with skepticism and a critical eye from the populace. Cops, government, religions, you name it. To question these things doesn't trivialize their importance, but serves as a means to regulate control.
Officers chose to be officers. If their brethren have earned themselves a bad name, they who follow them knowingly don this legacy.
That said, I've been more often treated kindly by more NHPD/Yale officers than otherwise ... I suspect that isn't the case for all of our fellow readers.

Like always you seem to revert to New York, maybe you should blog the Daily News, or the Times.
Steve Ross your comments are just as silly , I have read about Doctors who steal scrips and are stone junkies, lawyers who steal from there clients, judges who are drunks, writers who plagiarize, priest who are pedophiles, should I go on. Do they all deserve the same skepticism, by your own account you have been treated fairly. I don't understand what your blogging the hypocrisy in your comments has me confused.
Posted by: Morris Cove | March 20, 2009 2:11 AM
Maybe you should blog in the New York Times section, or the Daily News, and why would I ask Frank Serpico what happened to him in the 70's...again in New York. maybe you should read the article, and the comments made by Mr.Stueckle, that he was not sure if he called the cop an asshole. As a citizen and a supposed family member of Law Enforcement dosen't that seem a bit out of line?
I'm not here to defend all cops, but it's clear that they don't get the support of this community that they deserve.
I mean there is corruption in all facets of life from the doctor who steals scrips to get high, the lawyer who steals from his clients, the priest who are pedophiles, the writers who plagiarize, the list goes on. It is the hypocrisy in some of these blogs ( Steve Ross ), that has me at a loss. Maybe it's me, I just don't get it.

Posted by: Steve Ross, Hypocrite | March 20, 2009 11:38 AM
Morris Cove,
You make a good point. I believe that part of being a critical thinker is to regard everyone you mentioned with skepticism. That's why one consults more than one lawyer on matters of great consequence, why one gets a second opinion after one doctor's diagnosis, why a responsible reader checks writers' credentials and plumbs their citations, etc.
I mentioned my experience with police because that's the truth, and unlike yourself, apparently, I'm comfortable with ambiguity enough to at least interrogate it honestly.
If my own concept of active objectivity and ethical responsibility fits your definition of hypocrisy, so be it. We have different perspectives.
Posted by: Eddie | March 20, 2009 11:48 AM
This really demonstrates to me the damage a few bad cops on the East Haven PD (ahem, Lance) can do to the entire profession when they get caught lying on police reports.
My immediate impulse was to completely disregard the officer's version of events, since I now know that some cops simply concoct police reports in whatever way benefits them. You know what? Most of 'em probably don't. But I'll never be able to completely believe a cop's version of events in a police report again.
If I were a cop, I'd be gunning (figuratively speaking, of course) for those jerks in East Haven, because they just make my job more difficult and more dangerous. Way to go.
By the way, regardless of whose version of events is correct in this case, it sounds like our Yale police could use somewhat thicker skins. We pay them, arm them with guns and give them the power to arrest. I think it's fair to expect them to be able to shrug off belligerent loudmouths like Stueckle.

When the police enforce the law, they must also obey the law. This cop was clearly violating the law by riding on the sidewalk.
The manner in which Stueckle engaged the police officer shows he was trying to pick a fight. Police officers should be treated with respect, and clearly Stueckle took an antagonistic stance when he threw insults and curt statements at him.
Cops who turn on their warning lights just to drive through red lights, who talk on cell phones while driving, who have one headlight out, who speed on the highway are all breaking the law. There is no authority that polices THEIR behavior though. That is a problem and should be addressed through the proper channels.
I don't have a lawyer. I certainly don't have a lawyer's number on my cell phone. This whole exchange is fishy and I'd imagine this man is just looking for attention.
Cops and "us regular folk" - when on bicycles - are obligated by rule of law to ride in the street. Vehicles cannot traverse pedestrian right-of-ways. The food cart guys rightfully push their carts through the street. It is against the law for them to push it on the sidewalk. "not knowing the law" has NEVER been an accepted argument.
Ride safely in the road, follow the rule of law, and everyone will be happy. This man was clearly looking for a fight, and he lost. Boo hoo.

The Ordinace (not law) allows cops to be on bike but no one else. This is the same as with the cellphone law. The law allows cops to be on a cellphone while driving but I cannot.
Personally I believe that officers of the law should set an example. If I cannot ride my bicycle on the sidewalk or talk on my cellphone while driving than a police officer should not be allowed to do either.
We have laws and ordinaces in place for a reason and no officer should be above the law. If we allow them to do what they want on certain laws, then where exactly do we draw the line?
As for Stueckle, he did have a valid arguement but crossed the line when he started to argue with the officer. He would have been better off asking the officer why is it I cannot ride my bike on the sidewalk but you can?

According to the report, Stueckle twice called Yacono an "asshole" during their conversation.

There are emergency situations in which I feel should allow cops to ie. ride on side walks, go through red lights with sirens carefully, etc. I also agree about the cell phone issue.
Officers, or at least Supervisors or Shift Commanders have cell phones. They should be able to use the department issued cell phones when needed.
As for officers using cell phones to call home or personal stuff. I can only suggest: Set an example. Pull over and make the call. You practice what you preach?????????

I also don't condone bad cops, but I do support the good ones like the two who recently caught the guy wanted in a shooting, try reading it in this same online paper, on the left side...I'm sure you missed it.

My point here is "saftey." Police Officers should with out any doubt should be allowed to ride on certain streets in New HAven Especially the downtown (dt) district. There are many areas in DT that the average eye would not see if you are riding your bike on the street. I personally would feel horrible if i picked up the paper one morning and read that you or someone i care for was assualted or mugged at for example, in the alleyway on chapel, in one of the parking lots in DT. When it comes to crime, i would think any police department should be proactive not reactive to crime. However, i completely agree with regulation control, but you need to pick you battles, and this one is not one. Just because there are some bad apples in some police department does not mean they are all bad, that issue is getting old.

Every time we see a cops are good vs. cops are bad argument on the NHI, spelling and grammar go out the window. What up wit dat?

Last Straw,
I nominate you to be the grammar police.

FS, job accepted!
I once held a job that involved close work with a few local-level police departments. This job required the writing of reports and the review of police reports. The police reports were usually rife with misspellings and poor grammar. I used to joke with my co-workers that it was because, "old jocks become cops". The responses I read on NHI regarding "police matters" lead me to believe the summation was true, and that, "old cheerleaders become NHI cheerleaders of bad cops".
That said, I will be the first to admit that the majority of cops, especially in New Haven, have their shizz together, but unfortunately, their supporters never do.
Want me to believe the "pro-cop" contingent is in the right? Pay attention to those little red lines that show up under the words you type.
Just sayin'.

1.) I've never heard of a pastor calling anyone an "asshole." That actually kind of shocks me, and if I were to know that this guy were a pastor and used that kind of language, I would applaud any officer for citing it as breach of peace. Plus, I didn't see anywhere in the article where Mr. Stueckle called Alderman Bisson an a-hole while riding his bike... so maybe he has a personal issue with officers? 2-6-1-2.
2.) As a pastor, should he not be one of the first kind to be so forgiving of others? Just because he had one run in with a police bike, he therefore has to assume the worst of ALL bicycle cops?
3.) Bicycle police are and should be allowed to ride on the sidewalk. They have to pass a safety course for bicycle riding, so I'm pretty sure that police officers on bicycles aren't the reckless kind that would be running into people just for sport. If ever the chance came where a police officer on a bicycle comes close to a pedestrian, I would first think that the officer may be trying to respond to a call as quickly as possible; I wouldn't just assume he's specifically targeting me because I'm walking on the sidewalk.

ATV1_Hard disk issue
Jul 27, 2012, 05:19 AM
I noticed that my old 40GB Apple TV makes some strange noises... How can I replace the HDD and start a new life. How can I clone the HDD? Thanks for your tips.
Jul 27, 2012, 07:06 AM
Easy option (which can also be an upgrade) is to get on Ebay and buy a new :apple:TV1 hard drive (up to 320GB if you like). Sellers typically send install instructions and it's not overly complicated if you are good with a screwdriver. Personally, I found the hardest part to be removing the rubber boot on the bottom without tearing it (take your time).
If you would rather do it yourself (buy a blank drive and format it for :apple:TV1), I've had great success with this software: http://dynaflashtech.net/atvcloner/
Keep in mind that the :apple:TV1 uses a PATA- not SATA- drive. And I've heard of some people using this scenario as an opportunity to switch to a PATA SSD drive instead of another hard drive... and that working for them!
I've experienced those same symptoms before and assumed the hard drive was bad (too). However, after removing the hard drive, I reformatted it and it came back to life. I've even found that I could pull the drive, run that atvcloner on the same drive, put it back in and all can be well again. You might try this if you don't want to spend the money on a new drive.
After using atvcloner, it's like going back to factory new... meaning you'll need to set it up again and re-sync whatever you like stored on that internal drive.

Thank you HobeSoundDarryl! I will try that...

Radha Krsna Temple
|This article may be confusing or unclear to readers. (October 2013)
The Radha Krsna Temple, or now more commonly Radha Krishna Temple, was the headquarters of the International Society for Krishna Consciousness in London from the late 1960s. The Temple came to prominence when the Beatles, and especially George Harrison, started to publicly express their interest in Eastern philosophy and Krishna consciousness. The Radha Krsna Temple is also the name of an album of devotional music issued by the Temple on the Beatles' Apple Records label, produced by Harrison.[1]
The Radha Krishna Temple[edit]
The Temple at 7 Bury Place, London WC1, close to the British Museum in Bloomsbury, was the initial headquarters of the International Society for Krishna Consciousness in the UK from 1969 onwards, for which Harrison was a co-signee on the lease.[2] Before then, however, they had been given temporary accommodation in an outbuilding at Tittenhurst Park, John Lennon's mansion near Ascot.[3][4]
George Harrison's involvement[edit]
George Harrison became interested in Eastern religion when he played sitar on the set of the Beatles' 1965 film Help!, and when he received a book on Hinduism on a beach in the Bahamas. This interest led to a number of visits to India and a lifelong friendship with sitar master Ravi Shankar. In 1967, Harrison and his fellow Beatles met with the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi and, early the following year, they all headed off to Rishikesh to study with the Transcendental Meditation guru.[citation needed]
Harrison was already aware of the devotees of Krishna before meeting the movement's leader, A.C Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, and had purchased 20 copies of the Happening album, the first recording by Swami Prabhupada and his disciples. But it wasn't until 1969 that George met Shyamasundara dasa in the London offices of Apple Records, the Beatles' record company. "Where have you been? I've been waiting two years to meet you fellas" was how he greeted the devotee. Shyamasundara and five others had come to London to start a branch of ISKCON and they had sent apple pies and clockwork apples with the Hare Krishna mantra written on them to the Apple headquarters. This initial meeting led to the recording of "Hare Krishna Mantra", credited to Radha Krishna Temple (London), with George and apparently Paul and Linda McCartney and Ginger Baker all in the studio helping.[citation needed] George produced the song and further recordings, as well as attending an Apple-organised press conference for the Temple in a park at Sydenham, south London,[5] and their appearance on BBC-TV's Top of the Pops, where they performed "Hare Krishna Mantra" (although he did not appear in front of the cameras). The single reached the charts in twenty countries, doing particularly well in Czechoslovakia and Germany,[3] and was sung one afternoon by 40,000 people at Wembley.[citation needed] Author Peter Lavezzoli has described the Harrison-assisted success of "Hare Krishna Mantra" as "an astonishing feat".[6]
Swami Prabhupada made a deep impression on Harrison: "Most of these yogis say 'Look at me, I am the divine incarnation, let me help you,'" he explained. "Prabhupada said: 'I am the servant of the servant of the servant.'" When George once asked Srila Prabhupada if he should also shave his head and join the temple, Prabhupada replied that he could do more for Krishna through his music.[7] Many years previously, the great-grandfather of the Hare Krishna movement, Bhaktivinode Thakur, had predicted a day when the Maha Mantra and songs of Krishna would be sung throughout the world in the local musical style and in the local language. George would be one of the first to help towards making that prediction come true. When Prabhupada heard George's orchestrated version of the Govindam prayers for the first time, he was moved to tears and asked for it to be played every morning in each of the movement's temples, which still happens to this day.[citation needed]
"My Sweet Lord"[edit]
After helping the devotees at the Temple make their debut single, George started writing his own songs about Krishna and the philosophy of the Bhagavad Gita. In November 1970 came the album All Things Must Pass, which included the classic song "My Sweet Lord', and two-and-a-half years later, Living in the Material World, which featured "The Lord Loves the One (That Loves the Lord)" and the title track. Both these works are said to have been inspired by George's meetings with Prabhupada and by the Krishna Consciousness philosophy.[8]
Krishna book[edit]
In 1967 Prabhupada had experienced a severe heart attack and wondered whether he would live to present his disciples and the world with a translated version of the 'divine pastimes' of Krishna on earth. He had translated the second canto of the Srimad Bhagavatam, but knew that many years of translating remained before he would reach the tenth canto, where these accounts are contained. So he decided to write Krishna the Supreme Personality of Godhead. When he was finished, he requested Shyamasundara to ask Harrison if he could help to publish it. Shyamasundara tells that he wished to be careful in making the request, as he didn't want to give George the impression that the devotees in the Temple were after his money. But Srila Prabhupada had asked him and the spiritual master's desire was the life and soul of the disciple, so he found himself sitting in a restaurant with George one evening. A thunderstorm raged outside, and just as he discreetly asked the question, lightning flashed, there was a loud clap of thunder, and all the lights went out. The two sat in complete darkness without saying anything for a minute or two. When the lights came on, George was smiling and said: "I suppose that means yes!"[citation needed]
Bhaktivedanta Manor[edit]
Due to George's celebrity endorsement, his songs, and the help he'd given the devotees in meeting other famous people who passed on the word, the little temple at Bury Place was becoming too small for the number of devotees who lived there and others who wanted to join. Again, George offered his help. He told the Temple devotees that if they found a suitable building then he would purchase it. In 1972, devotees found Piggots Manor, a former nursing home with 17 acres (69,000 m2) of land, in the Hertfordshire countryside.[9] George could not spare the time to come and see it, but said if they liked it, he would make the arrangements immediately. And so it was that "Bhaktivedanta Manor" was purchased for £230,000. Since that time, the Manor has gone on to become one of the most famous Krishna temples outside India.[9]
Over the years, George became a very private person. But it was apparent that he still remained a devotee of Krishna; he visited the Mayapura temple, ISKCON's international headquarters in West Bengal. After touring the complex and taking prasadam, he spent the remainder of his time talking to the gardener about the many varieties of flowers and fruits growing there. He stayed for a few days in Vrindavan, unrecognised by everyone except the westerners there. He also kept friendships with a number of the devotees he had met in his earlier days such as Mukunda Goswami.[citation needed]

In May 1971 an eponymously titled album was released by Radha Krishna Temple (London) on Apple Records produced by George Harrison, featuring devotional music. The album sleeve pictures the deities situated in the original temple from whom the Temple name derives; these have now been moved to the ISKCON temple on Soho Square in London, where they are known as 'Radha-Londonishvara'.[11]
Both "Hare Krishna Mantra" and "Govinda" had previously been released as singles. "Hare Krishna Mantra" backed by "Prayer to the Spiritual Masters" was issued on 22 August 1969 in the United States, and 29 August in Britain.[12] After the single's surprise success in the UK (where it peaked at number 12), "Govinda" was released as a follow-up on 6 March 1970 (24 March in the United States), with "Govinda Jai Jai" – often spelled as "Govinda Jaya Jaya" – on the B-side.[13] This second single likewise made the British top 30, peaking at number 23.
The band on the recordings consisted of Harrison on harmonium, guitar and bass; Tamal Krishna Goswami on flute; Harivilas, Yamuna, Jivananda, Lilavati and Yogesvara on lead vocals; and assembled Hare Krishna devotees on backing vocals, mridanga and kartals.[citation needed] In addition, Alan White played drums on the debut single, while John Barham supplied the orchestral arrangement for "Govinda".[14] Mukunda Goswami (credited as Mukunda Das Adhikary), a musician, wrote the rest of the musical arrangements for the album.
The track "Govinda" is played every morning at all of the ISKCON temples around the world, to greet the deities. This was at the request of Srila Prabhupada. The album was later reissued as Goddess of Fortune on the Spiritual Sky record label.[15] All royalties went to ISKCON.[citation needed] After an initial release on CD in 1993, The Radha Krsna Temple album was remastered and reissued in October 2010 as part of Apple's ongoing reissue campaign, and features in the box set Fresh from Apple Records. There have been six versions of Radha Krsna Temple, ten versions of the single, Hare Krsna Mantra, and six versions of the single, Govinda.[16]

I don't agree that management adds nothing to the value of a product. Jay Rockefeller's Standard Oil was managed in such a way as to eliminate quality differences between individual cans of Standard Oil. To standardize and regularize one's product was something that Gorbachev admitted the Soviet Union had not learned how to do a century later. Customers found it to be of enormous value to them to be able to buy a can of Standard Oil and to know what that can would do and how much value it would provide.
As my father said about a chain restaurant "You know you'll be underfed and overcharged and underloved, but you'll know by how much you'll be underfed and overcharged and underloved. With individually-owned diners, you'll be getting inconsistent, unpredictable dining experiences." It wasn't the workers of Standard Oil, but the management that made an enormous difference to the value of a can of Standard Oil.
Several oil company owners were infuriated by Esso's addition of a cartoon tiger to their product ("Put a Tiger in Your Tank!"), but for some odd reason, customers considered that the cartoon tiger added to the perceived value of a tank of Esso gas. Workers had nothing to do with that, that was a management decision. Likewise, the Edsel was a perfectly good car, but customers assignd a very low value to it and it was soon taken off the market. Like soldiers who fight valiantly in a lost cause, the workers did their jobs as well as could be expected, but the managers/entrepreneurs who made the high-level decisions were the ones who goofed up.
Check out the second chart in this piece. Wages tracked very closely with productivity from 1945 right up until the early 1970s. A wag suggested that Deng Xiaoping was the one who convinced capitalists that they didn't have to pay American labor what they were paying, they could use the much cheaper Mexican or Chinese labor to do the same jobs. I'm not sure that the separation of wages from productivity is a commie plot as much as it reflects the growing ease and convenience of transporting unfinished goods to Third-World countries and finished products back to the US. So yes, workers did, for at least a considerable period of time, receive a predictable percentage of the value that was added to a product via productivity gains. Obviously, capitalists would fight doggedly to keep the system the way it is, but I see no reason that America can't return to having a close connection between wages and productivity.
I don't think your theories are completely wrong so much as I think they're too simple and need to be updated to modern, post-Marx times.

Hello everyone,
I'm a hobbyist c# developer for Windows and this is my first adventure into Symbian and c++. The push was motivated by my desire to solve an apparent problem with the Light API on the E62.
I have TomTom navigtor 6 and on the E62 the backlight refuses to turn on, regardless of System or TomTom application settings. I'm wondering if anyone is aware of any differences in the API that controls the backlight on these two virtually identical devices.
I'm going to attempt to write an application that will force the backlight to stay on at all times, not just call the activity/inactivty functions....if this is possible.
Any input, adivce, or code will help.

Ukrainian President and honorary head of the Regions Party Viktor Yanukovych has said the economic crisis has been overcome in the country.
"We knew about the challenges and threats faced by the state, and we have, without exaggeration, managed to save Ukraine. The first conclusion I'd like to draw on the results of the previous two years is that the country has emerged from economic crisis," he said in Kyiv on Monday while addressing the 14th Congress of the Regions Party devoted to the forthcoming parliamentary elections in October 2012.
According to Yanukovych, the Ukrainian economy has stabilized; inflation in the first half of 2012 was less than 0.1%.
"This is the best indicator over the past decade," the president said.
According to him, the state budget deficit in 2010-2012 "shrank by several times."
"GDP last year grew by more than 5%; its growth continues this year ... exports of Ukrainian goods have increased by a third, the forex rate of the hryvnia is steady. This stability was due to the growth of foreign direct investment in Ukraine by almost $11 billion," he said, saying that this was the result of the consistent implementation of reform to modernize the country.
The president also said that over the past two years the average salary in the country had grown by more than UAH 1,000.
