text: Why do people care so much about specs? You see numerous threads with titles like "HTC One or Galaxy S IV? Or should I wait?". What are you waiting for? At this point, it's a pissing contest between the OEM's and real world performance is pretty similar. You have people asking whether the Nexus 4 is still a viable option, despite only being released in November. Do any of these people end up buying any phones, or do they just get stuck in this loop of waiting for the next big thing? I just bought a Nexus 4 at the beginning of March and have absolutley no regrets. The phone is the best that i've ever owned. Sure, I wish that I had more than 12.92GB of total storage, but i've made it work. I've had a pretty decent amount of Android phones now, and I can say that i've only really hated one of them, and that was the HTC DROID Incredible. I've become pretty proficient with trading phones on Craigslist, hence my ever growing list.

Council Hears Request To Film Movie On Boardwalk
- Details
- Published on Wednesday, 18 June 2014 22:36
- Written by Super User
By WILLARD KILLOUGH III
Managing Editor
CAROLINA BEACH - A representative of an Ashville, NC based film production company requested permission from the Carolina Beach Town Council at their June 10th, meeting to film a movie on the Boardwalk later this summer.
The movie will star Zach Galifianakis and Owen Wilson. The comedy is based on a 1997 heist of $17.3 million dollars from a vault at the Charlotte based Loomis Fargo & Company. The heist was planned by a vault supervisor and an armored truck driver. Filming will require modifications to the appearance of some storefronts in the Boardwalk area to fit the setting of Cancun Mexico in 1997.
The Council was concerned about the impact the production would have on local businesses in the days just before the busy Labor Day holiday weekend.
Thomas Parris - Location Manager for the production - told the Council filming is planned for the week of August 25th to the 29th depending on actor availability. He said filming would not occur over Labor Day weekend. Parris explained the production would begin filming in Asheville, NC and wrap up filming in the Wilmington area. He said the Carolina Beach Boardwalk and Cancun have similar architecture and color schemes. They would come in and dress up the area with paint and other temporary modifications including signs.
Parris said they would contract with local businesses including compensation for any impacts to their normal operations during the three days of filming.
Filming would take place down the main walkway of the Boardwalk business area in front of the arcade, Britt's Donuts, Frank's Pizza and other businesses.
The production would return the area to its original state. If a building is painted, the company will ask them if they want the color to remain or painted a different color.
Parris said during filming there would be limited impact on businesses. The area would not be shut down, but during actual filming people in the area would be asked to step out of the camera angle for short periods of time.
He said, "For the most part, businesses should be able to be open. The only time I fore see any kind of major impact is when we are doing the fall stunt and the escape stunt."
He said in addition to safety reasons during stunt shots, the film is set in 1997 and they wouldn't want someone walking around with an iPhone in their hand.
Mayor Wilcox said if filming occurred in the off-season, there would be little concern. Since it's right before a major holiday weekend he and other Council members wanted assurance that a majority of business owners were not opposed to the project.
Bobby Nivens owns Britt's Donuts and said he had not signed an agreement with the film company. Local business owner Duke Hagestrom said he had spoken with someone, but had not agreed to anything at that time.
Wilcox said, "It's not our busiest week, but it's still busy" and, "There are people coming in the whole week for Labor Day weekend."
He said it's important that the businesses agree but, "It's disruption of services. If we are shutting down businesses and visitors are there to enjoy their week and they can't get into a restaurant and they can't get a Britt's Donut they are going to come with their rifles looking for us."
The Council ultimately agreed to give Parris more time to meet with local businesses and consider the permit at a future special meeting.
The Council scheduled a special meeting for July 2nd at 6PM at Town Hall.

Assassin's Creed 4 cover check: too many guns is the perfect amount
Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag is a real game, and we'll learn more about it on Monday. I wasn't personally at the event for the game, so I'm with you guys and girls waiting for more news. What's funny is that I keep seeing people remark on how many guns and weapons we see strapped to the character on the cover of the game. Surely, this is some Ubisoft artist going crazy, right? Someone decided that guns are like Rob Liefeld's famous pouches: the more, the merrier.
This conversation tickled my once-pirate obsessed brain, and I did a little digging.
Slow reload, many guns
It turns out there is some actual historical basis for the large collection of guns.
"Blackbeard knew the importance of image in his line of work. Before battle, he would dress all in black, strap several pistols to his chest and put on a large black captain's hat. Then, he would put slow burning fuses in his hair and beard. The fuses constantly sputtered and gave off smoke, which wreathed him in a perpetual greasy fog. He looked like a devil who had stepped right out of hell and onto a pirate ship and most of his victims simply surrendered their cargo rather than fight him," one article said.
There were more hints that pirates liked to strap multitudes of what would scientifically be described as "ill shit" to their bodies in preparation for battle. Among such ill shit, the flintlock pistol.
"A favorite weapon among pirates for its small size and light weight. An ideal weapon for personal defence and in boarding enemy ships. The firing mechanism was exactly like the larger flintlock rifles. Most fired a single shot and were loaded through the front of the barrel," another site stated. "Reloading was such a lengthy process that pirates would often carry several pistols and various bladed weapons into battle. Blackbeard was known to have carried six pistols, and Bartholomew Roberts was said to wear four pistols. These pistols were sometimes tied to their belts with silk cords to avoid dropping them overboard during a boarding attack."
"The preparation to use to flintlock was very long, so a pirate would often have many prepared and ready to shoot, before they would enter battle. The preparation usually took at least 30 seconds from an experienced shooter," one more site explained.
Pirates are badass
I'd hardly call my sources peer-reviewed journals, but pirates have often been portrayed carrying multiple flintlock pistols into battle, and it makes perfect sense. You get your one shot, and move onto the next one. The guns could be used as clubs in a pinch. There's also the fact that pirates operated as a kind of terrorist: You're not likely to resist a man coming out you covered in guns and blades. The more guns you bring in that situation, the fewer you'd have to use.
If you imagine a character covered in guns mixed with the fluid combat from Assassin's Creed 3, you get some interesting possibilities for battle. Imagine firing a gun and then either dropping it for the next one, using it as a melee weapon, or combining all those moves into one fluid animation where you take down a crew of rival sailors.
So yes, it may look like strapping that many guns to your body is overkill, but there's a good reason for it, and it even opens the door to some interesting combat situations.

The McAdows, who had earned their fortune in the gold mines of Montana, lived here from 1891 to 1897. The house continued as a private residence until 1913, when it was sold to the Universalist congregation. It was used as a temporary church until 1916, when the congregation completed a new church in the former garden to the north. This structure then became the parish house. In 1934 the Universalist and Unitarian congregations merged acquiring the name, First Unitarian Universalist Church of Detroit. The group uses this structure as a place of meetings and worship for religious liberals.

PLANO — A Plano woman who vanished from her home on Friday afternoon was found alive Sunday evening on the grounds of Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport.
Plano police confirmed the discovery of 47-year-old Janice Klein by airport police, who found her in a bathroom around 5 p.m., severely dehydrated. She was taken to an unnamed hospital for treatment.
After Klein arrived at the medical facility, she was tentatively identified from media reports as the missing woman.
"They notified Plano police about three or four hours later, after seeing the news," Plano police spokesman Officer Andrae Smith told reporters at a news conference early Monday morning. "Plano police sent some detectives down to this hospital and located this individual."
Investigators described Klein as disoriented and dehydrated, but with no signs of trauma and no evidence that she had been the victim of crime.
"At this moment, we do know that she is somewhat incoherent. we're hoping that by daylight she's gotten some rest, she's gotten some treatment from medical staff, we'll be able to sit down and talk with her," Smith said.
Klein was back at home and resting Monday morning. Her husband, Rob Klein, thanks the public, media and authorities for their help in locating his wife. He said he wanted his wife to rest before further looking into how she became disoriented and ended up at D/FW Airport.
Klein was said to have disappeared on Friday without her wallet, car keys or a cell phone. It was not immediately clear how she traveled the 25 miles between her home and D/FW Airport, nor was it explained where she had been over the two-and-a-half day span.
"We are going to continue to look at all aspects of her disappearance and try to determine why, in fact, she did leave, and why she separated herself so far from the city," Smith said.
Balda said it was out of character for the "technology-oriented" Klein to leave the house without her phone or her keys.
Hundreds of people volunteered to search for Klein over the weekend, and her family had offered a $10,000 reward for information.
Smith said he was "elated" that their search had not been in vain.
"I'm hoping that for those individuals who spent tireless hours out here in 100-degree weather for the last two days, that when they learn of this from you guys right now that they're elated," he said. "We understand that a lot of prayers have been answered.
"I don't think in my 19 years of law enforcement I've seen a community rally as as they have in this event."
He added that the police department is assembling a list of individuals and organizations that helped in the search effort so they can be recognized.
"I've never seen a community come together so quickly," said family friend Andrea Balda. "This prayer has been answered, and it's been a miracle."

Nintendo drops price of Wii U Deluxe set by $50, now $299.99
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Hardware, Hot Deals, Nintendo, Wii U
Since no one is buying the Wii U, Nintendo is slashing the price of the Deluxe set as a form of damage control before the Xbox One and Playstation 4 launch in a couple of months. The $50 price drop brings the Wii U Deluxe set down to $299.99, making it $100 cheaper than the PS4 and $200 cheaper than the Xbox One. Of course, the problem with the Wii U is more than just the price--there aren't many fantastic games for the console, and third-party developer support has been abysmal. Until that changes, or until Nintendo finally releases some of their big AAA titles, Wii U is going to flounder in obscurity as an underpowered console with no good games to play.
Nintendo drops price of Wii console to $129.99

The Nintendo Wii U console is set to drop in just 34 days, and Nintendo is looking to spend this last month enticing buyers with a $20 price drop on its current Wii console. The Nintendo Wii is now priced at $129.99 and includes two games: Wii Sports and Wii Sports Resort alongside a Wii Remote Plus and Nunchuk, all in black. Expect to see the package in stores by October 28th.

Nintendo 3DS gets major price drop, $169 on August 12th
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Hardware, Hot Deals, Nintendo, Nintendo 3DS
The Nintendo 3DS has not been selling as well as Nintendo had originally hoped, which is a definite change from their previous handheld console releases. It could be that the advertising just can't get across the experience of playing 3D games like holding it in your hands can, but it could very well be attributed to the fact that Nintendo is charging $249 for the console. Well, if it was the price that was holding you back, Nintendo hopes to remove that barrier with a major price cut on the 3DS. On August 12, the price for a new 3DS will go from $249 down to $169. That's a deep price cut, and brings the price much closer in line with the Nintendo DSi. Users who paid $250 will be granted 20 free virtual console games that won't be released to the public--10 NES games and 10 Game Boy Advance titles. That's nice and all, but I'd bet those people aren't thinking that's enough.

nice work...though to me is hard to imagine cheetara with anyone different than tygra!
Leo, Prince of Thundera
When I came up with him I thought his bio would read:
"Leo is the son of Lord Lion-O and Lady Cheetara. He was the Thundarian ambassador to Eternia during King- He-man's inter planetary war counsel. Leo served as a general under the King during the Horde expansion crisis."
This one started one way and I just kept getting more ideas. The spots were a last minute addition because I wanted to show he is Cheetara's son.
nice work...though to me is hard to imagine cheetara with anyone different than tygra!
Outstanding. Would love a tc line done with motuc ascetics.
That's bad A$$. Poor TC, I wish that would have been a better line. Great work though sir.
Awesome! Looks great.
I love an all inclusive canon!
I like this and have these parts..
I do want a lion o MOTUC and this shows proof of concept. Thank you, sir.
Good idea for a new character for MOTU in making it the son instead of the man himself.
This is a great custom and character. Love it.
Top Ten MOTUC wants: Sagitar, Sssqueeze, Great Black Wizard, Fang-or, Dragstor, Peekablue, Skeletor's Skeleton Warriors, Despara, Evil Seed (all era) w/Odiphus, Illumina w/Sleetah

Devoted to preserving Cajun culture by sharing it with the public, Cajun Pride Tours' knowledgeable and passionate guides lead groups on tours that explore area swamps, plantations along the Great Mississippi River Road, and the historic districts of New Orleans. They also stroll along city streets in the French Quarter in New Orleans, the Garden District, and areas that display the lingering effects of Hurricane Katrina. On boat trips, groups can spot friendly gators while floating through the Manchac Swamp—a protected area that prohibits any hunting, fishing, or tickling of the native wildlife. A short drive past the swamps drops tourists off near the area's plantations that are notable for their history, architecture, landscaping, and insight into Creole culture.
Given New Orleans' great wealth of stories, it's no surprise that the city itself would certify its master storytellers. This certification, held by every one of French Quarter Phantoms' guides, is put to good use as they lead small groups of travelers through the city's dark alleys on historically accurate ghost and true-crime tours. The guides' expertly spun, chilling tales earned French Quarter Phantoms the accolade of second-best haunted tour in America from HauntedAmericaTours.com, as well as a certificate of authenticity from Scooby-Doo and the Mystery Inc. gang.
La Vie Orleans Tours, LLC owner Ashton Rogers arrived in New Orleans as a Tulane law student and quickly became enamored by the city's French-inspired culture and lifestyle. After graduating from Tulane, Ashton created La Vie Orleans Tour—which roughly translates to "The Orleans Life"—to share the city's best.
The French Quarter tour features historic sites such as Jackson Square and the Lalaurie House, while La Vie Orleans' cocktail tour ducks into bars and tucked-away dives to discover the cocktail's role in the city's history. Guides can also plan custom tours for bachelorette/bachelor parties, business groups, and other special occasions.
New Orleans wasn't built to be explored by car. Its narrow, stone-paved streets are best traveled by a less bulky and more leisurely form of transportation. That's why the guides at French Quarter Bike Tours have designed a series of small-group bicycle tours to help guests take in the city's historic layout.
With local expertise and helmets brimming with facts, guides lead riders past the lacy iron balconies of the French Quarter and the colorful old homes in The Marigny, before pulling up to famous mansions in the Garden District and the homes of the city's deadest residents in historic cemeteries.
Since 1924, Gray Line Tours has introduced guests to the sights of New Orleans through an eclectic collection of tours, from leisurely walking tours to heart-pounding ghost tours. In addition to taking immersive history or plantation tours, participants can climb aboard an authentic steamboat, which preserves its engine room and original cartoon-mouse captain in a museum-quality exhibit, for a dinner jazz cruise.
Led by historian guides, Livery Tours' city tours showcase New Orleans' heritage and landmarks?sometimes from the cockpit of a Cessna airplane. The Mississippi River sprawls out beneath the aerial tour, which also flies over the Super Dome. Walking and driving tours, meanwhile, focus on topics from the city's post-Katrina renaissance to local ghosts and the centuries-old mansions they abide in.

Thigh Master
Here's a little anatomy quiz for you. The hip adductors are responsible for which of the following common yoga issues: (1) You have difficulty holding your legs together in inversions; (2) Your knees pop up in sitting poses like Baddha Konasana (Bound Angle Pose); (3) Your legs slip down your arms in arm balances like Bakasana (Crane Pose); (4) Your legs won't separate very far in Upavistha Konasana (Wide-Angle Seated Forward Bend).
Answer: All of the above. The hip adductors are a group of five muscles that occupy your inner thighs between the quadriceps on the front of the leg and the hamstrings on the back. When these muscles contract, they help draw your thighs together in poses like inversions and arm balances; when they stretch, they open up poses like Baddha Konasana and Upavistha Kona-sana. Whether stretching or contracting, they're crucial in a wide variety of poses. Strengthening and stretching the inner-leg muscles will improve the aforementioned poses, and you'll be able to sit on the floor with greater ease—to play with children or pets, perhaps—and have both greater stability and an increased sense of freedom in your walking gait.

Mark Turgeon whines about tough Big XII schedule
BOO HOO! What's hilarious is he doesn't bother mentioning how his incredibly easy schedule late in the season is why they will make the tournament. It's been well-documented that teams on a roll late in the season get the advantage when it comes to tournament selection.

Marcus "Money" Sursa is a fighter who's been known for never backing down from a challenge. He's taken fights on as little as 2 days notice, had to deal with last minute opponent switches and has faced numerous UFC veterans throughout his career. A couple weeks ago he made headlines when a backstage brawl with UFC/WEC lightweight Donald Cerrone broke out before Sursa's main event fight at Evolution Combat Sports 1 in New Mexico which forced "Money" to have to back out of the main event fight with Buddy Roberts.
Marcus was kind enough to stop by my show "The Verbal Submission" and tell a little bit about his side of the story.
Brian Hemminger: I was wondering, what it's like backstage at an event like that?
Marcus Sursa: I'm glad you asked me that question man because you know, it's upsetting to me, man, because my girlfriend didn't get to come backstage, and I didn't get to have anybody come backstage and they made it real clear before we were fighting. It was their [Evolution's] first show and they have this event center so there were a lot of ways to get backstage I guess, but they made it real clear: no girlfriends, no family, nobody that doesn't have a pass needs to be back here, none of this.
I was in where I was supposed to be, I was in the back in the locker room and, man, I was ready to fight man, you know what I mean? And, if something's said, if there's some altercation, you know, he wasn't supposed to be back there. They didn't have a pass, he didn't have anything, they didn't have no reason to be back there. They weren't warming anybody up. There was no reason for them to be back there. That's the whole situation man.
BH: You used to train over at Jackson's a little bit
MS: I lived with those guys in the first Tapout house. I lived in Jackson's, I trained there for 8 months. I moved from the Tapout house, I moved from Leonard and Donald's house and I moved in with Demacio Page, the Angel of Death.
BH: Was there any bad blood between you and Donald before that?
MS: No, truly not man. And I can't really go too much into what happened because well, a couple people, you know they run it by and it's over. I can't really comment on the situation too much but there's no bad blood between us man. I have nothing against them. If anyone wants to see my girlfriend, go to my facebook page, Marcus Sursa facebook (laughs). A little shoutout man.
I'm telling ya man, my girlfriend's beautiful. Ashley Williams, this girl's amazing. I don't have nothing wrong with nobody. I've got this girl on my arm, I don't care who he's with. Everybody's saying this and that, and it's all stupid but yeah man, it was very stupid what happened and I wish I could take that back but you know I didn't go out into the crowd and look for those people. I was in my locker room and he was standing in front of my locker room, it was an unavoidable situation. It was a very crappy deal what happened and it messed up our show.
We lost the main event in the very first Evolution's Combat and now very graciously, Martin and those guys that own the show are gonna have me back on as the main event for Evolution 2 and they apologized to me. He goes, "Marcus, I do logistics in the military and I cannot believe that those guys got back there without my knowledge and got past the security." They did some ninja stuff, I don't know how they got back there. It ended up messing up our main event and it cut my cornea.
I could have fought, but then Buddy Roberts camp came in and said "Man, we can't fight you with a cut cornea because if we win people are gonna say 'Oh, it was because of your eye' and if you beat us, it makes us look bad. So we just can't do the fight man, we're gonna have to do it on the next show." They graciously, they gave us our show money and helped us out and they apologized. They've really been awesome. Evolution Combat's man, those guys are grade A professionals, man, for sure.
BH: So are you saying you're still going to do the Buddy Roberts fight at Evolution 2?
MS: Yeah that's the plan. I was ready for that fight and I think he was scared man. He was shakin in his boots back in the back, his insides were coming out. He wouldn't even look at me. I had trained hard for that fight. I'm training with Tim Kennedy and you know that guy, he's a monster at 185, he's an American hero. I think he beat Souza for the title. I can't see how you win in the takedowns, you win in the striking, you win in everything and you lose the fight. The judges decisions out here are just nuts man.
BH: How bad was the cut, did it require stitches or anything?
MS: No, it was on my eyeball. He didn't cut my eye, he had a ring on. I didn't think he was gonna punch me. I was like "you know, man he's my buddy. I'll take care of this after it's over." I thought it was no big deal, chess match, you know, bump each other in the chest. All of the sudden man, my eye, I couldn't see out of my eye.
He clocked me in the eyeball and I didn't even have my eyes shut and I'm guessing he had a ring or something on. He's got itty bitty knuckles. He's a 155 pounder. His whole fist is as big as my eyeball so it got me in the eyeball and I couldn't see or anything and it was burning like crazy. The only reason I couldn't see because it was burning cuz' I cut my cornea.
It's all better now, I got some eyedrops, my girl been rehabbing me, I'm better now. It just burns my butt because I was ready for Buddy Roberts and now he seen how intense I get at the fights man and I guarantee he went home and ran 10 miles that night. He was saying "thank you God I didn't have to fight that animal". I was ready to kill him, maybe not kill him but I was ready to give 100% man. I trained 6 weeks.
BH: How exactly do you rehab a cornea cut on your eye?
MS: Nothing, they just put this pirate patch on your eye. You know, it was perfect for Halloween. I just went as a pirate everywhere. I had this stupid patch on. It was ridiculous man, and he [Cerrone] was blowing kisses to me in the audience and stuff, oh my God. I was telling ya, I don't have any bad blood against the guy but I pray for him every day.
So they gave me these heavy eye drops. The eye drops healed me man. Two days and it's better. I got cleared on Thursday. I almost took a fight in Canada, for MFC. I was almost in a fight with those guys but they pulled me out because they got a replacement. It looks like we might be doing the Bellator tournament for the 185. I might go to the 185 tournament next year.
BH: You think you could actually make the 185 cut again?
MS: Yeah, for $100,000, I'm gonna make the drop. It's always been questionable if I should fight at 185 or 205. I've always felt more comfortable fighting at 205 but after the fight with Buddy Roberts. I'm gonna fight him in December for Evolution Combat and after the fight I'm gonna go to 185 for the tournament for Bellator.

Kylie links up with online fashion site to sell lingerie range
LONDON - AIM listed online fashion retailer ASOS, formerly asSeeononSCreen, has linked up with Kylie Minogue to sell her Love Kylie lingerie range.
The move comes a month after a trading update indicated that profits for the firm would be well above City expectations. The forecasted full year profits, to be announced in the summer, were expected to be £400,000, however, directors say that figure is likely to be at least £570,000.
ASOS was launched in 2000 and picked up the Sunday Times 'Best Trendsetter' award the same year.
It markets itself as selling celebrity inspired fashion, with other products including pearl chain jeans inspired by Victoria Beckham and baby doll dresses inspired by Kate Moss.
Kylie Minogue's launched her lingerie range in 2001 to cashi in on her legendary posterior.
She has been helped some racy Agent Provocateur ad, which was only shown in cinemas after being deemed too raunchy for TV.
At the time said: "My aim is that the lingerie is fashionable, flirtatious, comfortable and enjoyable to wear." Although most of us will have to come to terms with the fact that no matter how "enjoyable to wear" it is, we are never going to look like her in it, it is nonetheless both sexy and sophisticated and I think most women would feel good in it.

NOGALES, Ariz. (AP) - U.S. and Mexican officials have shut down a cross-border smuggling tunnel in Nogales, Ariz.
The tunnel was discovered Friday in Mexico just as a person was digging what authorities believe was to be another well-engineered tunnel for smugglers.
Authorities say the tunnel was being dug west of the Dennis DeConcini Port of Entry and had extended five feet into the U.S. but had not yet opened up.
Immigration and Custom Enforcement officials say authorities last week shut down a just-completed tunnel close to the Morley Pedestrian Gate, also in Nogales, and seized more than 1,200 pounds of marijuana. That hand-dug tunnel was about 68 feet long and 2 feet wide.

Reading nearly get the goal they deserve after a decent delivery by Jobi McAnuff is glanced just wide of Dorus de Vries's near post by Noel Hunt following yet another spell of pressure from the Royals. It's a bit of a mystery as to how on earth they can be 2-0 down to Swansea right now - they've had the vast majority of the game thoroughly under their control and Swansea had absolutely zero right to have scored once, let alone twice.
Then again, Reading might be a man down, seeing as Zurab Khizanishvili ought to have been shown a second yellow for his tackle on Nathan Dyer that lead to the Swansea penalty, and now he's elbowed Fabio Borini in the face in the Reading box, which could easily have resulted in another penalty and a straight red card. Phil Dowd appeared disinclined to give either, and play continues. It's still 2-0 Swansea in the 31st minute. Scott Sinclair has scored both goals and he looks like the best player on the pitch by some distance.

EFF Slams Google Fiber For Banning Servers On Its Network
Soulskill posted 1 year,9 days | from the if-my-quake-3-server-isn't-welcome-then-i-am-not-welcome dept.301
MojoKid writes "Anyone who has tried to host their own website from home likely knows all-too-well the hassles that ISPs can cause. Simply put, ISPs generally don't want you to do that, preferring you to move up to a business package (aka: more expensive). Not surprisingly, the EFF doesn't like these rules, which seem to exist only to upsell you a product. The problem, though, is that all ISPs are deliberately vague about what qualifies as a 'server.' Admittedly, when I hear the word 'server,' I think of a Web server, one that delivers a webpage when accessed. The issue is that servers exist in many different forms, so to target specific servers 'just because' is ridiculous (and really, it is). Torrent clients, for example, act as servers (and clients), sometimes resulting in a hundred or more connections being established between you and available peers. With a large number of connections like that being allowed, why would a Web server be classified any different? Those who torrent a lot are very likely to be using more ISP resources than those running websites from their home — yet for some reason, ISPs force you into a bigger package when that's the kind of server you want to run. We'll have to wait and see if EFF's movement will cause any ISP to change. Of all of them, you'd think it would have been Google to finally shake things up."

Have you heard of the Left Behind books?
They are books about the end times.
They are written by two evangelical Christians — Tim LaHaye and Jerry B. Jenkins.
Go into any Wal-Mart, or Costco or any of the big box stores, and you will see them piled up in the book section. (Don't look in Wal-Mart for Jon Stewart's best-selling America (The Book) or George Carlin's When Will Jesus Bring the Pork Chops? — the giant retailer deems them too
As soon as a new "Left Behind" book is released, it climbs the New York Times bestseller list.
Number 12 is just out.
It's called Glorious Appearing, in which Jesus returns to earth.
It's the Second Coming.
The Left Behind books have sold more than 60 million copies.
And here's the story as we understand it:
During something called "The Rapture," Jesus snatches all the true believers on earth and brings them up to heaven.
According to LaHaye, the word "rapture" comes from the Latin word "to snatch."
After The Rapture, the rest of us — Jews, Muslims, Hindus, not born again Christians, and other non-believers — are left here on earth to face a fiery furnace during something called "The Tribulation."
To some evangelicals, to induce the second coming, it's important that the Jewish temple be rebuilt on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem — a site holy to Jews, Christians and Muslims alike.
Building the temple on the Temple Mount could lead to World War III — which maybe is the point.
Some evangelical Christians are now joining with extremist Jews to push this agenda.
We had heard that President Bush was a born again Christian.
So, we went to the White House earlier this week and asked Scott McLellan, the President's press secretary:
"Scott, on the Middle East — many evangelical Christians in the United States are supporting right-wing Jews in Israel who want to rebuild the temple on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem. They (Evangelical Christians) believe this is a prerequisite for Christ's return to earth.
They believe that when Christ returns to earth — they call this The Rapture — He will take back with Him the true believers. And the rest
– the non-believers — Jews, Muslims — will be left behind to face a violent death here on earth.
As a born again Christian, does the President support efforts to rebuild the temple on the Temple Mount?"
Hearing this question, all of a sudden, Scott was in a hurry.
He mumbled something like, "I will be glad to take your question, and if there is more, I will get back to you on that," ended the press conference, and left the room.
This was unfortunate, because we also wanted to know — does the President believe in The Rapture and does he believe that during The Rapture he will be snatched up and taken by Christ to heaven, or will he be Left Behind to face a violent death here on earth?
That question will have to wait for another day.
In any event, that's not the point of this column.
We've been writing this column for six years now.
In 1999, we decided to compile the first couple of years of columns in a book and we called it: Corporate Predators: The Hunt for Mega-Profits and the Attack on Democracy (Common Courage Press, 1999).
That book sold about 10,000 copies.
Now we have pulled together our columns from the last couple of years and put these into a second book, titled On the Rampage: Corporate Predators and the Destruction of Democracy (Common Courage Press).
This new book is a collection of our best writing over the past couple of years, with cartoons by the award-winning political cartoonist Oliphant.
We call our two books the "On the Rampage" series of books.
The story of the On the Rampage series of books, in a nutshell, is this:
Faceless corporations are organized to institutionalize the supremacy of money over human beings.
Corporations gain tremendous power and begin taking advantage of weak human beings.
But instead of resigning themselves to eternal corporate hell on earth, the human beings turn off their television sets, rub their eyes, refocus, begin reading On the Rampage, and ask — what the hell have we been doing all of these years?
And they begin to organize.
And so there is hope.
In this time of darkness, we ask that you light a candle by clicking here:
and buying our book — read it, or give it as a holiday gift to friends, relatives and compatriots.
Spread the word and don't be Left Behind.

Aaron Rosa's cut back down to 205 lbs. was successful as he dominated Arizona Combat Sports' team member Matt Lucas to a majority decision (28-28, 30-26, 30-26).
Rosa was able to get the better of Lucas on the feet in the first round of action, utilizing the clinch to do enough damage to sway the round in his favor. Lucas was able to use his wrestling skills to briefly take down Rosa early, but it didn't last as Rosa was able to escape to his feet and batter Lucas from range.
The second frame was similar to the first, although Lucas was able to land a couple of combinations early. Once again, Rosa beat up Lucas in the clinch, wearing out his opponent and scoring points with the judges. With seconds left, Lucas was able to secure a takedown. Unfortunately, he was deducted a point for dropping his mouthpiece for the third time moments beforehand.
Lucas, visibly beaten and tired, walked into Rosa's knees and elbows in the third. Lucas once again dropped his mouthpiece, the fourth time in the fight, with only a minute left in the round. Rosa continued to work over Lucas to the final bell, easily taking home the victory.
Rosa made his Octagon debut back in June at UFC 131, losing by technical knockout to veteran heavyweight Joey Beltran in the third round of action. He had previously amassed a 15-4 record outside of the promotion with notable wins over former UFC fighter Abe Wagner and Strikeforce veterans Devin Cole and Anthony Ruiz.
Newcomer Matt Lucas entered tonight's contest with a 14-2 record spanning a five-year mixed martial arts career. Most of his recent bouts took place under the Arizona-based Rage in the Cage banner, amassing a 5-1 record in his last 6 appearances.


text: Definition: Hadrian's wall was built, beginning in A.D. 122, to keep Roman Britain safe from hostile attacks from the Picts. It was the northernmost boundary of the Roman empire until early in the fifth century when the Atnonine Wall was built. Hadrian's Wall stretches from the North Sea to the Irish Sea (from the Tyne to the Solway). It was 80 Roman miles (about 73 modern miles) long, 8-10 feet wide, and 15 feet high. In addition to the wall, the Romans built a system of small forts called milecastles (housing garrisons of up to 60 men) every Roman mile along its entire length, with towers every 1/3 mile. Sixteen larger forts holding from 500 to 1000 troops were built into the wall, with large gates on the north face. To the south of the wall the Romans dug a wide ditch, (vallum), with six foot high earth banks.

Earth has many ways to kill us. We keep on the lookout, and rightly so, for volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, landslides, flooding, cosmic impacts, climate change and falling rocks on the highway. Should we still worry about radon?
You remember radon—that radioactive gas that comes up from the soil and collects in basements and ground floors, sometimes in well water. Radon is a prominent villain in the United States, blamed for tens of thousands of deaths from lung cancer. Like asbestos, radon was looked at more kindly when it was new, and today it too is more feared than it deserves.
Radon Geology
To the geologist, radon is interesting, not worrisome. For one thing, radon starts with uranium, which is worth knowing about for its energy content and its important role in the Earth's heat budget.
Uranium turns to lead via a long, slow cascade of nuclear decay, and radon sits at an important point in that process. Not only does the radon nuclide decay quickly, with a half-life less than four days, but the next four nuclides in the cascade decay with a combined half-life less than an hour. In other words, radon packs a powerful dose of radioactivity, and because it is a gaseous element, it can drift out of the minerals where it forms into the air. Thus it's a good signal of uranium, even for buried deposits.
Radon loves fractures because they set it free. Solid mineral grains are a pretty good trap for gases, but break the grains and the gas escapes. So just having rocks rich in uranium is not enough—they must be fractured, too. Earthquake faults are often a strong source of radon for that reason, and changes in radon emissions are a well-known simple indicator of seismic stress and deep ground movement.
Radon is relatively high in uranium-rich rocks such as ancient granites, high-organic shales and coal beds. (Coal burning is a major source of uranium pollution, and the boom in natural gas from shale may have an effect on household radiation budgets.) The US map of potential radon reflects this geological factor.
The Radon Hazard
The government has set reasonable radon limits that protect mine workers and other occupations with unusually high exposures. The Environmental Protection Agency urges the rest of us to test our homes and take measures against moderate radon levels, while admitting that good research is still needed.
High radon levels, unless they are truly extreme, are not an urgent threat. Lowering radon levels is simple and fairly cheap. If the EPA's policy is excessive, it's a pretty benign excess.
Nevertheless, radon is a background risk to the average American who doesn't smoke. Consider a well-conducted study published in the June 2000 American Journal of Epidemiology. Press releases trumpeted its result—if you were an Iowa women who'd lived for 15 years in a home with radon levels above the EPA's "action level," you faced an estimated excess lung cancer risk of 50 percent! (More recent studies give similar results.) But your actual odds of dying from lung cancer due to home radon exposure above the action level, if you don't smoke and if you spend 70 percent of your total time indoors at home, is about 1 in 100,000 per year, with a large statistical uncertainty.
Among smokers, radon has a substantial additive effect in raising the risk of lung cancer. High radon is not such a negligible risk for smokers.
If you care about the hazard of household radon, the authorities will help you investigate your risk and find someone to fix it for you. And you'll keep following the painstaking, expensive research needed to quantify this public health threat.
Making Friends with Radon
There are still reminders around of times when radon was desirable. Early in the 20th century, radiation was a full-blown health fad, and natural sites with high radiation were sought out for their curative powers. And at least two abandoned mines in Montana are reborn as old-fashioned radon centers—complete with glowing testimonials, so to speak—the Free Enterprise Health Mine in Boulder and the Merry Widow Health Mine in Basin.
But I think I'd rather be pampered in traditional Austrian spa luxury and hot water at Bad Gastein while I take my radon therapy. The medical patter is more persuasive there, and they seem to serve food.
PS: Frozen radon, which condenses into solid form at a relatively balmy –71°C, must be quite a sight. Evidently it glows with a bright phosphorescence from its own radioactivity, turning yellow through orange to red as it is cooled further.

The President and CEO of Foxwoods joined Fall River Mayor William Flanagan Tuesday morning to announce a $750 million casino proposal for the city.
Foxwoods is now vying for the Southeastern, Massachusetts casino license.
"It's about economic development, it's about jobs it's about additional revenue for the city of Fall River," said Flanagan.
The company had previously proposed a casino in Milford, but the plan was struck down by voters.
The proposed casino in Fall River would include a 140,000 square foot gaming floor and officials say the casino would bring between 3,000 and 5,000 jobs to the area.
"The type of resorts that Foxwoods develops and operates are economic engines like nothing else in the world," said The President and CEO of Foxwoods, Scott Butera.
Residents ABC 6 News caught up with had mixed about the proposal.
"I don't really have an opinion but like they said it's going to bring a lot of jobs," said Nicholas Bertchelette.
"It's kind of a two edge sword isn't it," said Dorthy Jackson.
"It's probably a good thing for the city but I myself don't gamble," said Bob Gagnon.
No site has been selected yet, though a committee has been appointed to look for one.
Elsewhere in the region, KG Urban Enterprises in New Bedford and The Claremont Companies in Bridgewater have also expressed interest in building a casino.
In addition, the Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe is looking to build in Taunton. The tribe is still awaiting federal approval to move forward with their application.
Mayor Flanagan would like for the proposal to go before voters sometime this Spring. He says if the proposal is chosen by the state's gaming commission he'd like to have a shovel in the ground sometime in 2015.

Narendra Modi is one of my heroes
For the outgoing Ford CEO, Alan Mulally, the underlying tenets of the 'to serve' philosophy are a way of life and the way to lead a team to success.
Sears Holdings Corp's controlling shareholder Eddie Lampert met with Ford Motor Co CEO Alan Mulally earlier this year to seek advice.
"I have watched him over the years and I think he is going to be great prime minister because he believes in economic development," Mulally said.
Mulally's tenure saw India become a focus market for Ford, and the company is likely to continue with its investment in Asia's third-largest economy.
The idea that a "new, improved" General Motors emerged from the company's 2009 brush with bankruptcy has been exposed as bogus.
"Alan brings a wealth of proven business and technology leadership experience," Google CEO Larry Page said in a blogpost.
The Ford CEO says that he has been following Modi's progress over the years and feels the former Gujarat CM is going to be a great Prime Minister.

Anthony Charles Lynton Blair (born 6 May 1953) is a British Labour Party politician who served as the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom from 2 May 1997 to 27 June 2007. He was the Member of Parliament (MP) for Sedgefield from 1983 to 2007 and Leader of the Labour Party from 1994 to 2007. He resigned from all of these positions in June 2007.
Blair was elected Leader of the Labour Party in the leadership election of July 1994, following the sudden death of his predecessor, John Smith. Under his leadership, the party used the phrases "New Labour" and "New Socialism" to define its policy, and moved away from its support of state socialism since the 1960s and created a new version of the ethical socialism that was last pursued by Clement Attlee. Critics of Blair claim that "New Labour" did not adhere to socialism as claimed, and that it effectively advocated capitalism. Blair subsequently led Labour to a landslide victory in the 1997 general election. At 43 years old, he became the youngest Prime Minister since Lord Liverpool in 1812. In the first years of the New Labour government, Blair's government implemented a number of 1997 manifesto pledges, introducing the minimum wage, Human Rights Act and Freedom of Information Act, and carrying out devolution, establishing the Scottish Parliament, the National Assembly for Wales, and the Northern Ireland Assembly.

Macomb County Sheriff's detectives are asking for the public's assistance in solving a hit-and-run accident that left a 53-year-old Mount Clemens woman in the hospital.
The incident happened about 1:40 a.m. on Aug. 31 as the woman was crossing Dickinson near Third Street in Mount Clemens, Lt. John Michalke said in a news release.
Witnesses told police the woman was crossing the road when she was struck by a dark colored sedan. The woman rolled up onto the hood of the car and then slid off onto the street, according to the release.
The driver stopped, got out of his vehicle and told a bystander that he was going to "call 911." He got back into the car and drove northeast on Gibbs Street.
The woman, who was leaving a friend's house when she was hit, suffered head and leg injuries. Michalke said she remains hospitalized in stable condition.
Witnesses described the driver as a white male in his late 20s or early 30s with a "fuzzy beard," black shirt, black shorts and black shoes. He was driving a sedan that was dark, possibly burgundy or black, possibly a 2009-2010 model year that may have some front-end damage.
Anyone with information on the incident is asked to call Detective Chris Fraser at 586-307-9358.

Switching to WPMU, and adding Buddypress
I have a site on WordPress: http://www.Padosa.com.
I want to add Buddypress to replace vbulletin.
Before I commit by switching to WPMU, a few questions just to confirm I am doing the right thing:
- all I have found suggests that the consolidation and WP and WPMU is down the road – it is not imminent?
- what are the downsides of switching to WPMU? I don't need for users to create blogs – just need to use buddypress. Any issues with plugins?
- how quirky is buddypress?
Any feedback on making the transition is most appreciated!

LAS VEGAS -- Three people have been killed in the past week, and police said they were all domestic violence-related.
Despite the recent deaths, killings as a result of domestic violence are down compared with the past few years as police said this type of violence seems to be more severe.
It's a far too common scene in the valley when Metro Police get called out to a slaying involving people who supposedly love each other.
Marcus Martin of Metro Police said 39 people were killed by domestic violence in 2009. Statistics show that number has fallen to 19 people so far this year.
"It's like a roller coaster. It really is a roller coaster by the time the officers arrive. Everybody is at the top of the cycle, or they're climbing, and then the officers have to deal with that," Martin said. "For years now, we saw our numbers trending down, but while those numbers trend down, we saw the propensity for violence to be greater."
Anubia Gonzalez nearly lost her life when her boyfriend attacked her last year. She said the relationship wasn't always violent as it started off picture perfect. Gonzalez's bruises and the beatings picked up after she gave birth to her son.
"I am lucky that I am alive. I am lucky I am a survivor," Gonzalez said. "He helped me through my ups and downs. He was the perfect boyfriend when he was with me in the good and the bad."
Gonzalez added there was a time when she could have escaped, but she was embarrassed to tell her family and doesn't want other victims to make the same mistake of not telling anyone.
Police are still looking for a person of interest in the double shooting that happened last Friday. Robert Brown Jr. is wanted in connection for the murder of Nichole Nick.
The two had a relationship prior to the shooting.

It's one of the most studied events in history, and you can get an up close look right now in Grand Rapids.
"Titanic the Artifacts Exhibit" is running right now at the Grand Rapids Public Museum until July.
The exhibit gives visitors a first hand look at what live was like on the ship.
When you board you're given a boarding pass with an actual passengers information.
Curators say the exhibit is unlike any other they've had.
When you complete the exhibit, search for your passenger's name on the boards to find out if you survived or not.
Kalin and Stephanie were there this morning to check it out.


text: Is it a plausible idea that we would sign Lebron and then have a shot at Chris Paul in 2011? Either that or work out a trade for him this year yet? If we could swing a lineup in 2011 with Paul/James/Jamison and then a steady bench I think we would have a nice rivalry with the Heat. Or would this mean that we need to get rid of Jamison somehow to make room to sign Paul. In any case I think Paul/James is just as scary as Bosh/Wade. Thoughts?

John H. Armstrong lauds Dr. James P. Danaher's "Eyes That See, Ears That Hear"
John H. Armstrong lauds Dr. James P. Danaher's Eyes That See, Ears That Hear: Perceiving Jesus in a Postmodern Context (Liguori, 2006).
Armstrong writes, "If you have listened to various arguments about postmodernism and faith and are confused then please read Danaher. If you are a student, or a 20 or 30-something who wonders if you can remain a Christian based upon how you were taught to perceive the world, then read Danaher. If you are an older guy like me and just want to get this whole debate about postmodernism and Christianity clear in your mind and heart then read Danaher. Honestly, everyone who ever uses this term postmodernism ought to read this book."
Dr. Danaher is Professor of Philosophy at Nyack College.

Come on, you knew this post was coming. Adrian Gonzalez, through not being able to be re-signed next year by our San Diego Padres, has now been traded to the Red Sox. We knew it was going to happen. We, even supposing that Moorad could finish buying the team tomorrow, could never afford the type of salary that Gonzalez was looking for if we were going to attempt to field a solid team.
Jason Werth is the MLB's Ilya Kovalchuk, so we don't even need to comment on that contract fiasco.
Back on topic.....unlike baseball, which works through more nostalgia than current product, the NFL prides itself upon being a "league of parity". And in most regards, it is. There are salary caps, all teams must follow the same rules, and the rules are enforced for all players (unless you are Tom Brady and they make rules for your benefit). Competition is usually pretty even between teams...except in cases of mismanagement or Matt Millen, any team could beat pretty much any team on any given Sunday.
Baseball is not like that. There are the winners and the losers. The Indians could not sweep the Yankees. Conceivably if baseball wants to style itself upon being competitive and having these very interesting division races (between more than just two or so teams), there are two options: lowering the luxury tax threshold, or instituting a payroll cap. Both essentially work the same, just that one is a "fine" and the other is a "penalty" when one goes over. Either way though, the lowered ceiling would lower contracts for players and most likely spread out the talent more evenly, thereby making superstars affordable for even the most meager of team payrolls (ahem). By giving a grace period of current expensive contracts to expire, I think that either way this new system would work out better for the league as a whole.
But would owners go for it? I actually think so. Most teams in the mid-range and lower tiers of payroll would enjoy not at the very least not fretting over automatically losing their franchise player whenever they are available for free agency because they could not afford it. Those votes should be able to take down the high-payroll elite teams. Obviously the Red Sox and Yankees would only follow the other teams' lead kicking and screaming.
Would players go for it? Probably not. They are employees who want to make a lot of money, as I think everyone else does as well. However if some sort of added benefits were added somewhere, that would be a plus. Worst-case scenario is that the owners must have a lockout to get the players and union to accede to their demands. As terrible as that sounds for the sport in the short-term, this would be necessary to establish future competition that would give an even greater rejuvenation to the game in the future.
The big losers? Agents. But they make a lot of money anyway. They can afford to lose. Tell Boras I said that, haha.
