Nobody knows what the Sacramento Kings plan to do with their No. 8 pick in Thursday's 2014 NBA Draft, but Elfrid Payton seems to have a solid inkling that he'll either be a member of the Los Angeles Lakers or the Sacramento Kings.
That's what Elfrid Payton informed ESPN's Andy Katz on Wednesday morning, though, there wasn't a ton of explanation behind the reasoning so we don't know if Payton actually has potential promises (unlikely) or if that's just the sense he gets.
It's actually a bid of an odd sentiment from the Louisiana-Lafayette product considering being selected with the No. 7 or No. 8 pick seems a bit high as he's more likely to dip a little further despite a soaring draft stock.
Compared to Damian Lillard of the Portland Trail Blazers by some, Payton didn't receive the national recognition so many other players did thanks to playing in a relatively small school, much like Lillard. Still, it would seem most likely that if the Kings were interested in Lillard (and rumors have suggested such) they'd likely attempt to move back a few picks and secure themselves an additional asset instead of drafting Payton with the No. 8 pick.
For comparison sake, a handful of other prospects have also stated they feel they could be drafted at No. 8 by the Sacramento Kings as well.

Our take: Lancer Tactical has redefined entry level airsoft AEGs with their full line of hard hitting, field ready, metal gearbox airsoft guns, priced well below most other metal gearbox AEGs on the market! Unlike other similarly priced plastic gearbox AEGs, which lack the power, range and performance needed to compete on an airsoft battle field, Lancer Tactical's NEW fully Licensed KAC (Knight's Armament Company) PDW AEG features an improved full metal gearbox and fires consistently above 380 feet per second! While this AEG's muzzle velocity may be too high for most indoor CQB fields, it is perfect for outdoor airsoft games and can easily keep up with the more expensive AEGs on the field. Featuring all polymer externals, including its side folding stock, the Lancer Tactical PDW is extremely lightweight making it ideal for younger airsoft players. The gun's monolithic upper receiver and rail system improves its overall durability, while providing plenty of space for all of your rail mounted accessories, such as flashlights, foregrips, optics, lasers, and external battery boxes. If you are looking for the best field ready airsoft gun for players on a budget, this Lancer Tactical licensed KAC PDW AEG is the perfect option!If you wish to remove the flip-up sights, apply pressure on both sides to release tension on the spring-loaded mounts before you lift them off the rail. Lastly, to prevent damage to the hi-cap magazine, do not load BBs into it with a speedloader.NOTE: This Lancer Tactical PDW AEG does not include a tactical foregrip.Features:- Full metal Version 2 gearbox- Side folding stock w/ rubber buttplate- Licensed by Knight's Armament (no logos or trademarks)- Railed handguard w/ monolithic top rail- Ambidextrous selector switch & mag release- Flip-up front and rear sights (spring-loaded)- Fully adjustable hop-up unit- PEQ style battery case- Included vertical gripSpecifications:Operation: Electric AutomaticBuild: Polymer Receiver, Stock / Metal GearboxFiring Modes: Full-automatic and Semi-automatic, w/ Fuctional SafetyMuzzle Velocity: 390-400 FPS (w/ 0.20g BBs)Gearbox: Full Metal Version 2Magazine: 300rd High Capacity (gear wind-up)Battery: 8.4V MiniHop-Up: AdjustableWeight: 3 poundsOverall Length: 17" in. / 26.25" in.

I've heard that there are talks of adding an extra tax for the next Super Bowl.
Then I hear that the last Super Bowl generated $500 million for the state. Why can't some of that $500 million be put toward the next Super Bowl instead of raising taxes?

The Pittsburgh Pirates had plans to start the 2013 season on a high note.
Chicago Cubs starter Jeff Samardzija had other ideas.
The 28-year old Cubs right-hander, making his first career Opening Day start, fired eight shutout innings of two-hit ball, striking out nine, while pitching the Cubs to a 3-1 victory in front of a packed house at PNC Park.
Cubs' first baseman Anthony Rizzo supplied all of the offense that Samardzija needed on the afternoon, crushing a two-run homer in the first inning off Pirates starter A.J. Burnett.
The veteran Burnett, also making his first career Opening Day start, didn't pitch badly. Burnett struck out 10 while allowing six hits in 5.2 innings of work, but his day was over after surrendering an RBI double to Cubs catcher Welington Castillo in the sixth.
But the story of the afternoon was the dominance of Samardzija.
The Pirates had a chance in their half of the first when Starling Marte led off with a walk and Garrett Jones reached on an error. But Samardzija got Andrew McCutchen to bounce into a fielder's choice and struck out both Pedro Alvarez and Gaby Sanchez to end the early threat.
After a Neil Walker single in the second, Samardzija got in a groove and retired the next 14 Pirates hitters before Andrew McCutchen delivered a two-out double in the sixth. But Cutch was stranded on second base after Alvarez grounded out to second.
After the first inning, the Pirates had a total of only two base runners throughout the next seven innings.
Burnett also got in a good groove and struck out the side in both the second and third innings and escaped a second and third, nobody out jam in the fourth with a pair of strike outs and a ground out.
The Bucs bullpen kept the game within reach as Justin Wilson, Jared Hughes and Mark Melancon combined to throw 3.1 innings of hitless baseball, striking out five.
The Pirates did make it interesting in the bottom of the ninth off Cubs' closer Carlos Marmol.
Marmol hit McCutchen with a pitch with one out and after Cutch stole second, Alvarez delivered an RBI single to get the Bucs on the board. Marmol then walked Sanchez to bring the winning run to the plate in the form of Walker. But Cubs' manager Dale Sveum lifted Marmol for left-hander James Russell, who got Walker to fly out to right. Sveum then lifted Russell for Kyuji Fujikawa, who got Russell Martin to pop out to end the game.
The Pirates are off tomorrow and are back in action on Wednesday when they take on the Cubs in the second game of a three-game series.
Winning Pitcher: Jeff Samardzija (1-0)
Losing Pitcher: A.J. Burnett (0-1)
Save: Kyuji Fujikawa (1)
Home Runs: Anthony Rizzo (1)

Quickly expand and shrink Save dialogs
Seems to me that while the expanded/unexpanded state is saved for regular save dialogs, that the dialog you get when closing a window with a never-before-saved file defaults to always compact. Of course, what I really want is for that dialog to go back to not being a save dialog at all, because I (more often than not) explicitly save files that I want to keep and if I'm just closing a window, it's because I do want to discard it. Thus my thought process is "I want to get rid of this" and then I hit cmd-w and have to wait for 3-5 seconds for it to load the full save dialog, and it's distracting every single time. I should probably file a bug report...
Quickly expand and shrink Save dialogs
I don't see a reason why one would ever want the minimized version of Open/Save dialog boxes.
Therefore I use the following Terminal command from another hint:

Bush creates multidimensional characters with terrible flaws, yet readers can empathize with them as they struggle to find answers and love, making their way through the challenges they face. While many of the characters are unlikable, the seemingly impossible romance and steadily tightening plot leads to a satisfying conclusion.
Psychologist Claire Norris survived an attack from a patient, but it resulted in the death of another woman, Langdon Stone's sister. Langdon blames Claire for protecting his sister's killer. Langdon investigates after a man is brutally stabbed to death and his companion, a pregnant young woman, now comatose, is taken to the private mental hospital where Claire works. To protect her patient, Claire works with Langdon to uncover the girl's secrets, which include a link to the mysterious women from Siren Song. (ZEBRA, Jul., 384 pp., $6.99)

thinking about you
"If I told you, that this couldn't get better baby. And your heartbeat, it lets me know you feel the same. I can hold you, keep you safe until you fall asleep. Never worried, cause I can give you what you need.
Now everything I do, is all for loving you. It's not something that we're used to. No other way to say, I need you everyday. And now I'm gonna change my ways. And it's a part of you, I never want to lose. I'd do anything you want me to. Like any other day, I know I'll find a way. And if ever I'm alone you'll say,

Tom Molineaux
|Tom Molineaux
Molineaux (left) vs Tom Cribb
|Rated at
|5 ft 8 in (173 cm)
Virginia, United States
Dublin, Ireland, United Kingdom
Tom "The Moor" Molineaux (1784 – 1818) was an African-American bare-knuckle boxer. He spent much of his career in Great Britain and Ireland, where he had some notable successes.
Early life[edit]
Born into slavery in Virginia, Molineaux was trained by his father, also a fighter, as was Molineaux's twin brother.[1] He boxed with other slaves to entertain plantation owners. Molineaux earned his owner a large sum of money in winnings on bets, was granted his freedom, and moved to England where he expected to be able to earn money as a professional boxer.
Career in Europe[edit]
Molineaux's first fight in England was on 24 July 1810, beating Jack Burrows in 65 minutes. On 3 December 1810, having been trained by Bill Richmond, another ex-slave turned boxer, Molineaux fought Tom Cribb at Shenington Hollow in Oxfordshire[2] for the English title. According to the writer Pierce Egan, who was present, Molineaux stood five foot eight and a quarter inches tall, and for this fight weighed "fourteen stone two" (198 pounds (90 kg)).[1] Egan wrote that few people, including Cribb, expected the fight to last very long; there was betting that Cribb would win in the first ten rounds.[1] However, Molineaux proved a powerful and intelligent fighter and the two battered each other heavily. There was a disturbance in the nineteenth round as Molineaux and Cribb were locked in a wrestler's hold (legal under the rules of the time) so that neither could hit the other nor escape. The referee stood by, uncertain as to whether he should break the two apart, and the dissatisfied crowd pushed into the ring. In the confusion Molineaux hurt his left hand; Egan could not tell if it had been broken.[1] There was also dispute over whether Cribb had managed to return to the line before the allowed thirty seconds had passed. If he had not, Molineaux would have won, but in the confusion the referee could not tell and the fight went on. After the 34th round Molineaux said he could not continue[1] but his second persuaded him to return to the ring, where he was defeated in the 35th round.
The return fight on 28 September 1811 at Thistleton Gap in Rutland was watched by 15,000 people. Egan, who was present, said that both fighters "weighed less by more than a stone",[1] which means Molineaux weighed at most 185 pounds (84 kg) for this fight. Molineaux, though still hitting Cribb with great power, was out-fought; Cribb broke his jaw and finally knocked him out in the 11th round.[1] After the fight Richmond and Molineaux parted.
Post-boxing life[edit]
Molineaux's boxing career ended in 1815. After a stint in a debtors' prison he became increasingly dependent on alcohol, and died penniless in the regimental bandroom in Galway in Ireland three years later from liver failure. He was 34 years old.
A hand-coloured etching of Molineaux by Robert Dighton is held in the National Portrait Gallery in London. A fictionalised account of Molineaux's boxing career appears in Black Ajax, by George MacDonald Fraser.
Thomas Molineaux is featured in the short animation, 'The Prize Fighter',[3] directed by Jason Young.
Tom Molyneaux is featured, as a ghost, in the short story 'Apparition in the Prize Ring' written by Robert E. Howard who was a boxing fan.
Molineaux's fight with Cribb was turned into a 2014 play by Ed Viney called Prize Fighters.[4]

….So please, Stop." -Fiona to the Flame Prince
:< SO MANY FEELS. Poor Fiona got all burnt. ;^;
idk, I am weird. When I draw my art, I think of things in a story-teller kind of way.
Like with this picture, In my mind I imagined the flame prince was feeling lonely and hurt; misunderstood. A lot of times loneliness and pain turn into Anger, Hatred and destruction.
And in the went on a kind of Rampage and was burning the lands of Ooo.
Sometimes, someone just needs to be told that No matter what happens, Someone cares. And that there ARE people that love you.
And Fiona, even knowing she will be hurt - stops him, embracing the prince even though her flesh is burning; and she whispers these few words,
and he stops. </3

I'm sorry for asking this, ProZD, but since you voice AA characters, can you voice this little comic?
I find it hilarious and I hope you do too. It stemmed from the release of some of Miles' concept art wherein one of them had a mustache xD
I DO find it hilarious. If you guys find comics or other stuff like this you'd like me to try, send 'em my way.

Well, pretty spectacular.
According to Elliot, the team considered creating 'dark' versions of Phoenix and Layton that would be residents of Labyrinth City, as well as having Edgeworth and Larry brought into the city as well. Also pictured is early art for Jeeken, and an unused NPC who carried a variety of masks.
Happy Anniversary, Mr. Edgeworth, sir!

"It's probably the most uncertain group, but we have an eye on what
we think it will be right now," Melvin said. "A week in, it can change.
We have quite a few guys we have our eye on. But right now, I think we
have a pretty good idea what it's going to look like."
Jose Valverde is the closer, and Melvin said four others -- Jason
Grimsley, Luis Vizcaino, Brandon Lyon and Brandon Medders -- are all in
the running for setup duties. With an expected 12-man pitching staff,
that leaves two spots open in the 'pen, and one of them is almost
certain to go to a left-hander, most likely Terry Mulholland, with
Felix Heredia and Randy Choate also in the mix.
As for the last spot, it figures to fall to hard-throwing Greg
Aquino, who was to be the club's closer last year but dealt with arm
fatigue coming out of camp. But if Aquino doesn't get the call, Melvin
has another option in that he can use either right-hander Claudio
Vargas or lefty Brad Halsey, the two pitchers locked in a dual for the
No. 5 starter's job.
Medders, hampered most of camp with a strained muscle near his right
scapula, is lagging behind at the moment, although the Diamondbacks are
optimistic he will be ready to start the season.
--SS Craig Counsell took a cortisone shot Tuesday to help calm down
some pain in his sore right shoulder, and the plan remains for him to
rehab his way back into action. Counsell was diagnosed with a "slap"
tear in his labrum a day before the start of Cactus League play and
after getting a second and third opinion from doctors this week,
surgery does not appear to be an option at this point.
If he were to have surgery, Counsell likely would be out for
virtually the entire season.
--Third base coach Carlos Tosca will be off the field for at least
four weeks after suffering a fracture on top of his right foot upon
being struck by a foul ball Monday in Tucson. Taking over on an interim
basis is Tony Perezchica, the club's roving minor-league infield
--The Phillies are in the market for an outfielder, preferably a
left-handed hitter, but Philadelphia has not made any inquires about
veteran OF Luis Gonzalez, who is entering the final year of his
contract in Arizona. Gonzalez, who will make $11.5 million this season,
has a club option for $10 million in 2007.
--RHP Brandon Medders (muscle strain near right scapula) will try to
play catch the next couple of days and try to throw a bullpen session
at some point this weekend. Arizona's primary seventh-inning reliever
down the stretch last season, Medders is in the running for setup man
duties, and the team doesn't want to rush his return.
--Manager Bob Melvin on the Diamondbacks' hot start this spring:
"We're getting a lot of production and the younger guys, especially,
are doing everything we've asked them to do. They're getting guys over,
they're getting guys in, we're having tougher at-bats. No one remembers
who won the Cactus League title, but we've got a lot of good, young
players here who are showing up in the latter part of games and are
being very productive."

OBJECTIVE: This study was designed to determine the seasonality of
serotonin functions among adolescents who attempt suicide. METHOD: Platelet
[3H]imipramine binding was assessed over a period of 18 months in 98
adolescents who attempted suicide and a comparison group of 23
never-suicidal youths with conduct disorder. RESULTS: [3H]Imipramine (Bmax)
was uncorrelated with age, but showed considerable seasonal variability
over time in those who had attempted suicide. CONCLUSIONS: [3H]Imipramine
binding density in adolescents who attempted suicide exhibited significant
seasonality, reaching a nadir in late winter/early spring.

Claire Danes Continues to Cry, This Time with James Marsden
The trailer for the Claire Danes movie As Cool As I Am has been released, and it is not, contrary to popular belief, set to a whole bunch of Mike Posner songs. It does, however, have Claire and James Marsden and Elton from Clueless who is really getting his time in the sun as a heartthrob for Moms, isn't he?
But Danes isn't too concerned. "Homeland" earned her a fourth Golden Globe on Sunday. And she takes those who criticize her "cry face" in stride.
"It's just the way feelings register on my face," she told Elle. "It's been isolated from the rest of my work, like it's a tacked-on thing. It's not." For the record, I don't think of it as "criticizing" her cry face so much as "celebrating" it.

In previous years Nuun has selected a couple of teams of female bloggers to run Hood to Coast with them. This year they changed it up a bit, and opened up the applications to only their ambassadors (in case you missed it, I was selected as an ambassador earlier this year - see the little Nuun logo over there ------------------------------------>, that's what that is about). I applied because I really wanted to be a part of the awesome crew I knew they would be putting together for this race.
And, on Monday, I got the news - I'm in! I was at work and had to hold back my excitement a tiny bit, as I still had work to get done. But, to say I was happy to have been selected would be an understatement. I feel so lucky to go on this adventure with Nuun and the 19 other amazing ambassadors they chose to run this year.
Anyway, I am over the moon excited to be a part of this awesome crew. I've already chatted with a few on twitter and I can't wait to get to know the rest of the group over the coming months. This is going to be an awesome adventure and I can't wait to share it with you! Yay!!
I have no idea what runner number I'm going to be yet, all in due time. And, I'm pretty sure my training through Vineman 70.3 will be solid prep. The weeks between Vineman and HTC will be totally focused on HTC. In the meantime my runs will be Vineman focused (but I know they'll work well for HTC training too, hill runs are starting soon!), working on distance and pace (I plan to share how the training works for both races).
155 days!!! Woot!

Putin Calls For 'Eurasian Union'
Uh-Oh, this is bound to rile up One World Government conspiracy theory types … from Reuters:
Russia's Prime Minister Vladimir Putin said he wants to bring ex-Soviet states into a "Eurasian Union" in an article which outlined his first foreign policy initiative as he prepares to return to the Kremlin as the country's next president.
Putin said the new union would build on an existing Customs Union with Belarus and Kazakhstan which from next year will remove all barriers to trade, capital and labor movement between the three countries.
"We are not going to stop there and are setting an ambitious goal — to achieve an even higher integration level in the Eurasian Union," Putin wrote in an article which will be published in Izvestia newspaper on October 4.
Putin said last month he would run in the March 2012 presidential election and his current public approval ratings show that he is set to win…

Al-Qaeda Tells Iran: Stop Spreading 9/11 Conspiracy Theories
In its commemorative ten-year-anniversary 9/11 issue, al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula's Inspire magazine attacks Iran for spreading doubt and conspiracy theories regarding the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center. (Also: I think al-Qaeda uses the same stock photo services as pharmaceutical websites.) Posted via Public Intelligence.

There have been plenty of conspiracy theories surrounding the events of 9/11. These conspiracy theorists believe that the U.S. government manufactured the attacks while others believe that it was the Israeli Mossad who was behind them. They site claims such as the Pentagon was not hit by a plane but by a rocket, and that the World Trade center building number seven was brought down by a controlled demolition. The prescribers to these theories have been some scattered individuals here and there who do not posses the research capabilities and capacities that are only available to governments. However, there has been one exception: the government of Iran.
Jesse Ventura Back With More Conspiracy Theories

If there's an urban legend or Conspiracy Theory out there, Jesse Ventura is determined to get to the bottom of it. The soldier, wrestler, politician and best-selling author is hitting the road for the third season of truTV's hit series Conspiracy Theory with Jesse Ventura. The new season promises even more mystery and mayhem as the rebel and freethinker investigates secrets "they" don't want people to know. Upping the ante against alleged cover-ups, Jesse and veteran team member June Sarpong will be joined by a "new generation" of conspiracy busters: Jesse's own son, Tyrel Ventura, and Sean Stone, son of controversial Oscar®-winning filmmaker Oliver Stone (JFK).
Media Roots Interview with Black Ops/Secrecy Researcher Trevor Paglen
Alec Baldwin: 9/11 Truther?
New York Magazine's Daily Intel asks why Alec Baldwin is alluding to 9/11 conspiracy theories on Twitter:
… Read the rest
The actor and potential mayoral hopeful had a late Twitter session overnight, as he's been known to do, in which he answered questions from followers. At the end, he went on a particularly uncomfortable tangent. "Do you think Bin Laden was behind 9-11?" he wrote, followed by two messages about the counter-terrorist exercise Amalgam Virgo, a favorite talking point of the truther movement. When Baldwin was asked if it was "a little late to make that accusation" by a follower, he replied, "what 'accusation?'" and concluded: "9-11 …….. what have we learned?"
For one, we've learned that people are not generally thrilled when September 11 is invoked with doubt as to its perpetrators, whether it's a joke or not. Baldwin, who's hosting a public forum next month about 9/11, is a noted provocateur and a master with the press, so it's possible that he's poking fun at the truther contingent or just getting himself some attention.
The Bilderberg Group's Tax Returns
As a rule of thumb, when Henry Kissinger and Coca Cola are involved with something behind closed doors, it's probably not good. Parapolitical notes:
Document sharing site Public Intelligence has posted the 2008 and 2009 tax returns of the American Friends of Bilderberg, the U.S. fundraising arm of The Bilderberg Group.
According to the returns, the group received $775,500 in contributions from U.S. sources during 2008 and 2009 to help cover the expenses of the organization's once-per-year meeting for 150 invitees. Donors included Microsoft, Coca-Cola, Goldman Sachs, the Washington Post Company, PayPal founder Peter Thiel and former U.S. Secretary of State Henry Kissinger.
Was Pakistan Hiding Osama Bin Laden?
Bin Laden was discovered not in the godforsaken, lawless borderlands but living in a million-dollar mansion in a touristy suburb nearby Pakistan's top military academy. Steve Coll of the New Yorker writes that the Pakistani military was obviously sheltering bin Laden and that al-Qaeda's other top leaders are likely being given safe haven as well, but the United States simply cannot press the issue — Pakistan has nuclear weapons and is "too big to fail":

Abbottabad in the hills to the north of the capital of Islamabad, is in an area where much of the land is controlled or owned by the Pakistan Army and retired army officers. The city is most notable for housing the Pakistan Military Academy, the Pakistan Army's premier training college, equivalent to West Point.
Looking at maps and satellite photos, I saw the wide expanse of the Academy not far from where the million-dollar, heavily secured mansion where bin Laden lived was constructed in 2005.
Why Conspiracy Theories Die Hard
[Disclaimer: By posting this article I do not mean to advocate the mainstream view that conspiracies are impossible. Both evidence and logic suggest to me that not only do some exist, but most are small and banal, and thus common. Nonetheless, this article describes one reason we should not swallow any old conspiracy theory just because its purported villain is someone we don't identify with, but instead regularly question "the truth" as we believe we "know" it. Of course that includes those who don't believe in conspiracies.]

Recent polls have found that as much as 15% to 20% of the public, including about 30% to 45% of Republicans, falsely believe that President Barack Obama was not born in this country. Will Wednesday's release of Obama's long-form birth certificate put an end to the birther myth?The odds aren't good. The problem is that people can be extremely resistant to unwelcome factual information.

Retro Rogers --- This Day in 1995
Time flies when you're having fun! Believe it or not, this year marks my 25th anniversary as an editorial cartoonist. In the fall I will be coming out with a collection of my best cartoons from the last two and a half decades. Stay tuned to my blog for details.
As part of my new blog, once a week I will be highlighting cartoons I drew on the same day and month in another year. The first cartoon is one I drew on this same day, April 23rd, in 1995. It was a few days after the Oklahoma City bombing. I was trying to find a way to illustrate the shock and horror Americans were experiencing knowing that terrorism had come to the heartland. When I think "middle America," I think of Grant Wood's famous painting called American Gothic.
At first I was just going to draw the couple crying, but that seemed too sedate. Since I was already using an art metaphor, it was a natural next step to combine American Gothic with Edward Munch's The Scream. The drawing was more difficult to pull off than I expected. I had to carefully balance both images while keeping each one recognizable. In the end, I was happy with the result.

New FCC supremo: Sort out your cell unlocking, mobe giants - OR ELSE
The US telco regulator has told mobile firms to come up with a plan allowing customers to receive unlock codes for their phones when their contracts are up – or it will force them to comply. The Federal Communications Commission said in a letter to the wireless trade group CTIA that the industry needed to adopt a voluntary …
About blanking time.
It should be standard policy that any phone that fulfills its contract plan be unlocked automatically, as the contract (the reason FOR the phone lock) is completed at this point. Historically, T-Mobile USA has been very reasonable if a little reticent about unlocking (when I was with them, they let you do it as early as 6 months, and without charge except maybe a phone call) while AT&T has been as reluctant as can be. Can't say about the other GSM providers, but some consistency in this matter can only help.
Re: About blanking time.
O2 were utterly unhelpful cnuts about it, even >2 years after the contract was up.. That one's still ongoing, and after 2 strikes (bodged directions) I daren't risk trying again without their help ... on which I've been waiting about a year now: (
Re: About blanking time.
I agree, it should industry policy to unlock after contract expiration, and it actually is the policy. The hangup in all this is that "without an additional fee" caveat the FCC wants.
I know for a fact that at least one major carrier wanted to further subsidize the phones and offer a "permanently locked" category. The same carrier also tried an 'unlock surcharge' contract where the unlocking was paid for over the length of the contract with no additional fee at unlock time. Both were shot down by the FCC.
With something like this you'd think that the battle was over customer churn, but it isn't. It's over a couple of dollar fee the carriers view as their right for providing the unlock service. One way or another the carriers will get their fee though, even if it's embedded in something else. My only concern is that it will cost consumers more if the carriers 'sneak' the fee in, instead of having a straight up line item.
Re: About blanking time.
O2 were utterly unhelpful cnuts about it, even >2 years after the contract was up.. That one's still ongoing, and after 2 strikes (bodged directions) I daren't risk trying again without their help ... on which I've been waiting about a year now: (
Write complaint to O2 legal department, with a CC to the regulator and Trading Standards (or Consumer Direct or whatever they call that outfit this week). Send by registered post so you have proof of delivery, and give them 2 weeks to sort it or you'll file a formal complaint. And follow that up ASAP - never let an issue lie too long because there is an expiry time.. If that doesn't work, escalate to the EU ombudsman because they have been trying to regulate those telecom sods for ages.
The commission has assured folks that it has "taken significant measures" to ensure that volunteers who help it collect the data will hang on to their privacy and confidentiality, promising not to slurp any personally identifiable data.
- Yes, cuz the US Gov has an excellent track record in that area so far dunnit?
Why lock them anyway?
If you're locked into contract, you're going to be paying for it anyway.
Any if you bought it outright, there's even less excuse for it.
Black market exports - that's why. It will only stop the average person though.
That's usually stopped by the frequency gap. Most US phones don't work well abroad. Most of them use a frequency unavailable in the US as it's a military frequency there. I think the locking is more to stop provider-jumping in the event of unusual deals.
What is needed is a separate line item in your phone bill that is the "contract subsidy" value that you are obligated to pay over the (nominally) two year period. After that, you get discounted, and your unlock code. Even nicer would be an "automatic" feature that the provider sends to your phone when the time comes, and a note in your bill.
Takes the "customer service" reps out of the loop. A "good thing" in anyone's book. Not to mention saves some $$$ in the process by not needing people to handle the calls to do the unlock.
This being the US under discussion, there is one flaw: The carriers use different frequencies. I remember in the 3G days, you could not move a phone across different carriers(at least not the big ones) because of the different technologies.
I suppose 4G has mitigated some of that, but how many of the handset "exclusives" are down to the fact that the phone was only built to handle the one carrier. Remember that PAYG phones are very uncommon here, and "SIM-Free" is practically unheard of.
LTE has actually made it worse. UMTS/HSPA isn't much of a problem, especially now that T-Mobile has been upgrading its network to support non-AWS-capable devices. And I've seen SIM cards for sale at Wally World and CVS, so the idea does appear to be catching on.
I'm of the impression that LTE has helped to stabilize things at least in regards to the two big ones (T-Mobile and AT&T). Each has settled on one band (IV and XVII, respectively) so US LTE phones tens to keep those bands and play the field with the field with the remaining band allotments (My S4 for example supports I and VII, good enough for most foreign use).
And I've seen Net10 change over to a SIM-only provider with their SIMs available here and there. Of course, you could also get SimpleMobile SIMs cheap over the mail.
FCC Speed Test app
I'm concerned that the providers will game this. I know the cable ISPs game the more popular bandwidth test sites.
Re: FCC Speed Test app
There was an FCC Speed Test app many moons ago on iOS. I guess they're having a second go at it.
Not going to make a squat of difference.
Here in Australia, they'll unlock it at the end of your contact, but holy hell, they'll make life unlivable if you try.
My sister tried it some time after the end of her Vodaphone contract with the intent to "hand me down" the phone to mum. Yeah, good luck with that.
They promised to email us the website and details, but after repeating a number of different emails, we were forced to come to the conclusion that either everyone at Voda is dyslexic, or illiterate, or idiots, or all of the above... Don't start me on being policitally incorrect, we were all royally pissed by this stage - was a fucking month and half, three or four email addresses, and stuff knows how many phone calls.
Once we did get to this hitherto mythical website, it didn't work. (not that was hard to use, the numbers just didn't work) More phone calls later, we managed to get them to do it over the phone.
This was good month and a half with (supposedly) dozens of emails back and forth and who knows how many phone calls later (no idea actually, because the calls were split between my sister and myself), it finally worked.
It's easy to say they "allow it", but it DOES NOT mean they'll make it easy for you, of this, I can assure you.
I cannot says this enough NEVER EVER EVER EVER "buy" a phone on contract. Do an outright purchase, or do do without. Don't come crying to me if you can't do anything with your phone outside of your original carrier at the end of your contract. Heard it enough here, and I'm sick of it.
Re: Not going to make a squat of difference.
"I cannot says this enough NEVER EVER EVER EVER "buy" a phone on contract. Do an outright purchase, or do do without. Don't come crying to me if you can't do anything with your phone outside of your original carrier at the end of your contract. Heard it enough here, and I'm sick of it."
Well, sometimes, you don't have a choice. It's either the contract phone or NO phone, especially in the US. Most international LTE phones don't support bands IV or XVII which are the main bands used in the US. And last I checked, ALL the big-brand US phones are sold locked because they normally go to the providers first (buying one direct tends to net you the International phone, which like I said is problematic here).
"The FCC Speed Test app is available on Google Play now and an iPhone app will be on the App Store soon, the commission said."
Didn't some fanboi claim all apps are available on iOS first?
No, no they are not, clearly!
Remember "slamming"? (It was a US thing)
I haven't heard anything about it in quite some time now, but at some point after the governement pried open the (landline) telephone system and competing long distance providers came into being, you could authorize the provider you wanted to be with to take your account away from whoever you were already with, and of course they came up with all sorts of ways to trick people into authorizing them to switch them over.
Why not let people who want to move from cell phone company A to company B at the end of their contract with company A authorize company B to force the unlocking (but not the relocking) of the phone?
A and B will both be big enough to have the political muscle to force each other to co-operate and behave, unlike individuals who have to descend through the eleventeen circles of CS hell just to talk to a human instead of a machine.
Sherlock, because Lucy Liu has given a whole new meaning to the phrase "Watson, come here, I want to see you".

That's right, folks, you knew it was coming — another Oogie rant. Now that Oogust has come and gone, I'd like to take a moment to update my earlier rant in light of some new information. First of all, Oogieloves failed spectacularly in theaters, literally the biggest box-office bomb for a wide cinema release in movie history. Truly an epic — and well-deserved — failure. Secondly, in my previous rant, "The Oogieloves Herald the End of Western Fucking Civilization", I maintained that the Oogieloves were created by Kenn Viselman in a cynical attempt to separate parents from their money. I was wrong, though. Kenn Viselman did not create the Oogieloves.
It all started when Jay Osborne linked me to this video, which features a character who looks a lot like one of the Oogieloves. The description says "Woozy from My Bedbugs" and the comments hint at a TV show long past but fondly remembered. I decided to investigate.
What this is from is a TV show called My Bedbugs, a relatively little known children's show that aired on PBS in Detroit and a few other markets, but not everywhere, in the mid-to-late 2000s (decade). It features 3 colorful, pajama-clad bugs played by people in suits. Their names are Gooby, Toofy, and Woozy. They are accompanied by a pillow named Snoozy, a window named Windy, a fish named Ruffy, and a vacuum cleaner named J. Edgar. Here they are all together. Look familiar?
This show was created by a husband-and-wife team of Alex Greene and Carol Sweeney, who wanted to devise a way to teach very young children about cleaning, hygiene, and good bedtime habits. Well, that explains why there's a freaking pillow in the thing. It also explains the names: Gooby, Woozy, and Toofy are pet names for the creators' own children.
There's a sad ending to this story. Just as the show was getting off the ground, a toy recall and the 2008 economic crisis nearly forced Alex and Carol to close the doors on their production company, Greenestuff. They only just barely saved the company by selling all the rights to My Bedbugs.
The buyer was Mike Chirco, who'd made his money in real estate, and was previously an investor in the television series. He bought My Bedbugs out at the insistence of Kenn Viselman, which enabled Viselman to gain complete creative control over the series. He went about making changes in order to give the series more "universal appeal". Gooby, Toofy, and Woozy lost their antennas and went from being pajama-clad bugs to, er, mutants of some type; Windy became a creepy person animated through CG instead of a puppet window like in Pee-Wee's Playhouse; Snoozy's name was changed to Schluufy; the bedtime theme was completely dropped. Woozy was for some reason changed to "Zoozie", I guess because "Woozy" sounds really tired (it was a show about bedtime for fuck's sake) and Z's really tested well in that market segment. The puppets became uglier, lumpier, and of general poorer quality; one of the remarkable things about the original bedbug characters was that they were all different sizes with Woozy clearly the smallest and Toofy the largest. And of course the name was changed. Check out what Viselman has to say himself about the new name, from this document:
One of the first tasks for the duo [Viselman and screenwriter Scott Stabile] was coming up with the new name. "We knew we wanted the word 'love' in the title," says Viselman. "I went through hundreds of names, because I wanted a sound there that kids could make. And kids naturally go 'OOOO.'"
Got the "OOOOOOO" sound in there! That tested very well. Got a VERY favorable response from the target demographic.
It's very hard to find information about My Bedbugs, let alone video of what the show was actually like. All of the indications are that it was nothing special; yet it was the heartfelt project of a husband-and-wife team looking to entertain and educate their very young children. The production values were mediocre at best, but there was something sweetly mediocre about it. In their Bedbug incarnations the characters looked cuter, less lumpy and misshapen, and were performed by more talented actors. The producers and hired talent seemed to really believe in this project.
And then Kenn Viselman came and shat on it. He took their dream away and made it stink worse than the used diapers left mouldering in theaters after a typical Oogieloves showing. He didn't create the Oogieloves. The Oogieloves are just My Bedbugs with the serial numbers filed off. Jay and I came up with a parody called The Woobly-Honks. I literally took about 15 minutes to come up with the idea and pitch it to him for use in his writing. In those 15 minutes, more creative effort took place than Kenn Viselman exercised when developing the Oogieloves.
Remember from Wayne's World, that guy who came in, bought the rights to the Wayne's World show, and then made it suck?
That's Kenn Viselman.
He deserves to burn.

Baking Bible Book Production Phase 4
Jan 23, 2013 | From the kitchen of Rose
This is the tears in the eyes moment in book production when the individual recipe documents are merged together in chapters to form a book.
One by one I inserted each document into a master document with Woody on the phone double checking that we were choosing the most up-to-date version.
Finally, with all in place, we counted 133 recipes and about 700 pages of single spaced text with double spacing between paragraphs which will help to shrink it a bit when formatted in the final version. This is going to be a big book, but then, the publisher, Natalie Chapman, encouraged and inspired me to write a "baking bible"!
The next step is for Woody and me to integrate all the global changes that came up during proof reading, one at a time as it is far too risky to do a global change throughout the whole document--there are always exceptions to the rule. This will take about a week.
Then we will go through each recipe chart and recipe to triple check all the numbers: the volume, ounces and grams. This will take at least two weeks.
Finally we will integrate notes from the Beta Bakers who are testing about 10 more recipes. And I will be delivering the disc to the publisher on March 11 when major production will begin.
Woody and I have been discussing the cover. In a recent conversation I posed the question of what could exemplify baking best as no one thing such as a cake, pie, cookie, pastry or bread tells the whole story, and a collage of them lacks impact. Woody came up with the following shocking response: "There is only one thing that exemplifies all of baking." My response: "What could that possibly be?" Woody's answer:"You!"
Your vote is welcome!
Hi Rose and Woody
Your books are fabulous, and your picture on the book would turn it into a magical collection of surprises.
I can hardly wait to see it on the stores bookshelf.
I often "read" cookbooks instead of another book. Good Luck!
Agree! when will it be available for purchase??
I had this idea, too. (especially since we don't know what mana looks like ;) )
Hi Joyce,
Thank you for your comments.
fall of 2015 is the schedule date for the book's release.
Rose & Woody
Hi Rose,
I'm looking forward to the release of your new book!
A photo of you on the front cover would be lovely!
I can understand the important decision to decide on the cover of a book, as this would be the first attraction to the eye! But then, any book of yours is reason enough to rush for a copy!
Since almost every bake starts off with flour, and flours are from wheat, perhaps a photo of a wheat field would be nice, perhaps different stages of young wheat plants to the final processed flours. Or just the picture of the wheat field to keep it simple. Whatever pictures has been decided, it would be nice to have a photo of yourself placed somewhere in front. Woody is right about that!
When will the new book be released? I can't wait to have the book in my hands!
don't worry ray--you will be able to make most everything in the UK except for some of the cakes and those you can make using kate flour! and there will be a wonderful gooseberry crisp recipe!
Do let me know when the UK Edition is due
I'll have to try it. :)
better than mana should taste like matzoh!
did you ever try my mediterranean matzoh? it's really delicious.
According to Jewish Tradition the Mana would taste like anything you wanted it to so it could embody all the different kinds of baked goods all at once. The very essence of the bread being a recognition that our sustenance comes from the All-mighty.
If you don't want to go so esoteric there is also matza. It is both biblical (see Exodus 12-13) as well as, being flatbread, representing the progenitor of all other baked goods. A common conception being that flatbread was the first type of bread eaten by human kind. Also, according to Jewish tradition, the matza that was eaten when leaving Egypt tasted like the mana.
thank you mendy. woody and i have proofed all the numbers for butter and all the numbers for sugar in the cake chapter. in all there will be about 8000 numbers to proof so not yet time to bring on the mana!!! but by pesach yes!!!
Hooray. Hatzlacha Raba - Much Succes!
How about a depiction of the mana (biblicly described as bread from heaven) inbetween the layers of morning dew. See Exodus chapter 16
I fully agree with Woody that you, Rose, is the single "thing" that exemplify baking. But if you put a picture of yourself on the cover, what would be the cover of your memoir that you will write at some point? I like the idea of simple cover photo though, so the suggestion from Leah of a whisk or flour sounds good.
thank you all for your wonderfully creative comments. i'll be sure to submit them to the publisher on our first meeting in march!
Go clean, simple with a dark background. You don't need your pic displayed on the cover ~ any good cook, baker, etc. never does.
Look at the new Buchon book cover plate. Clean! Simple! Delicious!
Flour is almost universal in baking. I bet a good photographer could do something with that. Maybe a marble slab with a sprinkling of flour on it with some other items (eggs, tools...) on the sides for visual appeal. I almost want to see a finger in the picture, which has just written "Rose" in the flour. That would get "you" in the picture too.
What about a tool that you use often when baking, like a whisk? How about a bouquet of tools?
How about a picture that includes several baked items. Not a collage, but a single image with a beautiful arrangement of a variety of baked goods. You can take some of the pictures with you in them and some without and see which you think would make the best cover.
Congratulations on the great progress, and wishing you fortitude for those intense weeks you mention in your post!
I agree with Woody!
Perhaps one of those photo-collages? When you stand back, the collage makes up a picture of you, but each tiny picture in the photo-collage is a recipe from the book. :)
Hello Rose and Woody,
According to Woody, who suggest that the cover should be you. I think it will be grate but it will look like copying e.g Martha Stewart has a Baking Handbook with her photo as the cover picture, so I wont go for such.
Its difficult to choose or decide....a four cardinal picture of cake, pie, cookie, pastry or bread with your picture in the middle.

18 Million Blackbirds Dead on New Year's Eve in Beebe, Species Likely Extinct
Beebe, AR — Wildlife officials estimate that over 18 million black birds fell to their death over a one mile area within Beebe Arkansas at midnight.This marks the fourth consecutive year that the birds have died at midnight on New Year's Eve in the same area. The number of birds this year greatly exceed previous year's totals.
However, the claims in the story are false. The report comes courtesy of the satirical website, "RockCity Times". The site makes its satirical nature quite clear to visitors. Its title banner includes the slogan, "Arkansas' 2nd most unreliable news source". A disclaimer in the footer of the site's pages notes:
The content on here is presented as fictional news with an intent for humor.
And, a link labelled "Help! I'm Confused or Offended!" points to Wikipedia's write-up on satire.
Alas, quite a few visitors apparently miss these obvious clues and believe what they are reading.
But what of the (badly) photoshopped image used in the fake article? In fact, the image was taken from 2011 news reports discussing real mass bird deaths. It depicts a worker retrieving bird bodies after such an event. However, the original photograph shows only a few dead birds.The one question left to ponder? What publication takes the title of "Arkansas' MOST unreliable news source"?

Doctors' strike: Allahabad HC orders probe
The Lucknow bench of the Allahabad High Court Wednesday took suo moto cognizance of the ongoing strike of doctors in the state and ordered a judicial probe into the matter.
Seeking to know from the state government about the action taken so far, the court also ordered the transfer of the Inspector General, Deputy Inspector General and Senior Superintendent of Police Kanpur.
The bench of Justice Imtiyaz Murtaza and D.K. Upadhyaya ordered the formation of a judicial inquiry commission to look into the entire set of events at the Ganesh Shankar Vidyarthi Medical College in Kanpur Feb 28.
The court also asked the striking doctors to immediately return to work.
Earlier, leader of opposition in the state assembly, Swamy Prasad Maurya, met the protesting doctors and alleged that the state was in the grip of 'goondaraj'. He blamed the chief minister for the deaths of patients during the strike.
"At a time when the doctors are being beaten up by police and the patients are dying, the chief minister is busy protecting his MLA and pet officials," the BSP leader said.
Junior doctors in many parts of the state are observing a strike since March 1 after a scuffle with a Samajwadi Party legislator from Kanpur led to a series of cane charges, police raids on hostels and mass resignations by doctors across the state.

It LIES!
Unchecking Airport under Network Preferences / Network Port Configurations doesn't turn off power to the Airport card. This is very important to understand. Even though the menu icon appears as if the Airport power is off, it's still running. I wish that unchecking a port (Airport / Bluetooth) would actually turn off the power to these interfaces.
Re: It LIES!
Aw geez, you're right. Well, that pretty much defeats the whole purpose of this hint.

We're getting closer and closer to the new season of the breakthrough Netflix series House of Cards and today we got yet anther look at what's in store. The first teaser we saw didn't really show much but did tease some themes and gave us a release date for us to all start binge watching the new episodes.
But this latest trailer shows off more and we get a look at Kevin Spacey for the first time in this new season.
If you need a refresher, here's a synopsis of season 2 of House of Cards:
In the second season, Francis (Spacey) and Claire (Wright) Underwood continue their ruthless rise to power as threats mount on all fronts. Zoe Barnes (Kate Mara, "American Horror Story"), an up-and-coming reporter and Francis's former paramour, is inching closer to the truth about his crimes. President Walker's (Michel Gill, "The Good Wife") billionaire confidante Raymond Tusk (Gerald McRaney, "Southland") demands that Francis reciprocate political favors or face retribution. And Claire must confront the increasing glare of the spotlight as it eats away at her and Francis's once private existence. The Underwood's must overcome these dangers — past and present — to avoid losing everything, regardless of collateral damage they leave in their wake.
Season 2 of House of Cards debuts on Netflix on February 14, 2014.
