Re:Why should Detroit get special treatment? (398 comments)
The term "right" has been abused over the years to the point that most people would equate the following two statements as peers:
- I have the right to participate in representative government.
- I have the right to eat Cheetos in my bed.
In the context of this discussion, the right in question is freedom - freedom to secure housing, freedom to seek education, freedom to protect yourself. The State does not have an obligation to fix your bad decisions, nor does it have the authority to do so (because that would infringe on your personal freedom.)
So while you have a "right" (aka "are free") to eat Cheetos in your bed, expecting the State to provide the Cheetos and the bed is ridiculous. You are, however, free to obtain them yourself.
Re:Why should Detroit get special treatment? (398 comments)
No, our rights are well enumerated, starting with Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness.
You do not have a right to protection.
You do not have a right to housing.
You do not have a right to employment.
You do not have a right to education.
You do not have a right to health.
You have a right to pursue all of these things, but you are not entitled to them. If you choose to be employed, you need to earn that employment. No business is obligated to hire you simply because you are a wonderful person. Further, you may choose to be unemployed, in which case the State is not obligated to support you to your satisfaction. We have programs in place to support people who become unemployed due to no fault of their own, but these are transitional programs, not lifestyles.
You do have a right to speak up about bad and corrupt government.
You do have a right to vote.
You do have a right to participate in government, at multiple levels.
As for compassion, I do know there will be victims of this situation. However, the vast majority of Detroit residents have been tolerating this disaster of a city for decades, and are now upset that the fairytale they have been spoon-fed isn't coming to fruition. I have trouble being sympathetic for folks who trot mindlessly down a well-marked dead-end road and get upset when the road ends.
Re:Why should Detroit get special treatment? (398 comments)
This isn't a natural disaster. This is the result of *decades* of mismanagement and corruption. If the system is so broken that is cannot be repaired, and fighting the system is an unwinnable battle, your only viable solution is to leave. And that's what you're seeing here. People are leaving Detroit en masse.
Detroit is a city, but it is far from being an essential resource. If it imploded tomorrow, I doubt it would be more than an interesting news tidbit for the rest of the nation.
Finally, it's clear that you don't comprehend freedom. Freedom includes the ability to royally screw yourself by making one bad decision after another. Detroit has made many bad decisions over the years, and it is completely outside the pervue of the US Federal government to step in and mandate that the rest of the nation support a city or to dictate how a city is run
Re:laws change (937 comments)
Insurance reform needs to happen at a national level. I've been bitching about this since I started driving.
Drivers and cars need to be insured independently. The insurance industry will fight this tooth and nail, because it eliminates their ability to lump everyone in your household into a cost bracket associated with the worst driver. Have a 17-year-old son or daughter? Everyone's rates go up. Why? Because the insurance industry prohibits you from being insured individually.
Insure the car as a car. If it's self-driving, it gets a different policy and rate from one that requires a meatbag in the pilot's seat.
Insure the individual as an individual driver. Have lots of accidents? Your rates go up, but your spouse's rates don't. Same thing with teen drivers (higher rates) and no-accidents-for-thirty-years drivers (lower rates.) None of this BS about raising everyone in your family's rates because one child did something childish.
This resolves a number of "what if" scenarios that currently result in finger-pointing. Borrow your neighbor's car
I know, it won't happen. The insurance companies will protect their profits at all costs, including destroying the self-driving car.

According to the Bureau of Justice Statistics, there are approximately 6,937,600 offenders under the supervision of adult correctional systems at yearend 2012. Approximately 2.2 million are incarcerated. The remainder are on parole or under community supervision (i.e probation.) I would suggest that your 50k number is low, by at least an order of magnitude.

Yep, learn the difference between "grid tied" and "grid interactive" systems. The latter will operate locally when the grid drops out; the former will not.
Re:A fine example of the problem (670 comments)
I'm dealing with family members who are obese. You would think, by their reactions, "choice" was the nickname of Satan. I've heard the littany of excuses from the thyroid to the social environment. At the end of the day, the "choice" exists as to what you shovel into your pie hole with your own hand. You might have a metabolism that compels you to eat, but nobody but yourself decides *what* you eat. There is no shadowy figure holding a gun to your head, threatening your very life unless you eat that Family Size bag of Doritos in one sitting.
I've watched an obese family member make and eat an entire batch of cookies because she was feeling bad, and had to suffer through her diatribe about how "it's not my fault" and "why won't someone else solve my problems for me?" crapola. There can be no respect in these situations. And putting these people on continuous medication programs will only further absolve them of responsibility for their actions.
Re:What an amazing idea!! (207 comments)
Folks seem to be misunderstanding the purpose of the phone. It's not for your convenience. The phone is a conduit to connect your wallet to a carrier's bank account. That's why *every* carrier is willing to "give" you a phone for a substantial discount. Allowing you to change the phone's capabilities is equivalent to turning off the money stream.
Now, if they could get a piece of the action, that's a horse of a different color.

Re:Greed knows no bounds (164 comments)
There are many laws, including the 14th Amendment to the US Constitution, that cover equal treatment of people. Horses are not people, and do not enjoy the same rights and legal protections we do. In fact, horses are often ground up into food and adhesives.
I am currently an officer of the ""He-Man Women Hater's Club." As a private club, I may deny you and anyone else admittance to said club, for pretty much any reason - I don't like your hair; you have the wrong color eyes; it's Tuesday. My behavior may be unfair, or even discriminatory, but it's not illegal*, and you may pound sand.
*Note that certain establishments, like restaurants, do come under legal scrutiny because they have an interaction with the public. There are many other examples where discriminatory behavior is prohibited, but a private horse registry ain't one of them.
Re:Greed knows no bounds (164 comments)
Monopolies are bad. I'm not contesting that. However, it's completely specious to claim "monopoly" on the basis that the American Quarter Horse Association controls the American Quarter Horse Association Registry. Of course they do, it's their registry. The statement "none of the other horse registries accept clones either." tends to indicate that there are multiple registries
Now, if the registries are colluding in an oligopolistic fashion, and are taking anti-competitive measures, then there is actionable stuff there. However, if the AQHA has a policy of not registering cloned animals, so be it.
Re:Greed knows no bounds (164 comments)
The quarter horse association, which has a registry of 751,747 animals, stated in court that it is a private organization and has the right to decide its membership rules.
I'm with the Quarter Horse Association on this one. They're not the government. They have no "fairness" obligation to everyone. I don't see how they can be accused of holding a monopoly when "no other horse breeding registry allows cloned animals
Hey, I just started the "No Clones Alllowed Horse Registry." Can these two horse breeders sue me and force my no-clones registry to accept their cloned animals?

More than likely, the $20 "advance" was a trap. If Mann had deposited the $20 payment, her opponent could have demonstrated that the expired contract wasn't expired, as evidenced by the payment that was accepted. Returning it was the right thing to do.

November 26, 2014
On Saturday, the Virginia basketball team clinched an ACC regular season title. On Monday, the Cavaliers cracked the top five in the national rankings.
UVa jumped seven spots to No. 5 in the latest Associated Press poll, released Monday afternoon. It's the highest the UVa program has been ranked in the AP poll since spending two weeks in December 2001 and January 2002 at No. 4 in the country.
It marks only the fourth time in the past 30 years where UVa is ranked in the top five of the AP's weekly poll.
The Cavaliers improved to 25-5 on the season, and 16-1 in the ACC with Saturday's 75-56 win at home against Syracuse. The win clinched the sixth ACC regular season title in program history, and the first outright regular season title since 1981.
UVa can wrap up the regular season with a 14th straight win next Sunday, when the Cavaliers visit Maryland.

Soft white sand, crystal-clear water, perfect weather... it's not hard to see why every year millions of visitors flock to the islands of the Caribbean. It ticks all the boxes of a perfect tropical holiday. Here is the scoop on just some of the beautiful destinations of which dreams and desktop wallpapers are made.
The warm spring sunshine that has arrived across most of Britain is dividing opinion amongst the travel industry. Companies selling holidays in the UK are breathing a huge sigh of relief. Some were wondering if coverage of the floods in the West Country would kill off bookings for the season. How quickly we forget.
There's something about treehouses that brings the child inside of us out! Which of us would have said "No thanks" to our parents offering to build us a tree house in the bottom of the garden? So when we get a chance as adults to stay in a treehouse, it fills in some forgotten nook of delight. And that's before we've even seen what's outside!
The long-awaited sunshine enjoyed in parts of the UK this past week will no doubt have got many of us in the mood for a holiday, with some tempting last-minute deals on 'winter sun' getaways to be found. But would you be willing to jet-off to an exotic destination without the recommended vaccinations or malaria protection?
The further you travel the more chance you have of catching some sun, but then again you're sacrificing valuable holiday time and is it really worth it? There are much better things you could be doing with your time than sitting on a plane. So without further ado, here are three short-haul destinations.
It's not hard to see why Spain is one of the most popular destinations for British holidaymakers. There are many beautiful places in Spain where you'll find plenty of sunshine, good food, good wine, and beautiful beaches, but beyond these destinations we know and love, there are some Spanish gems that have been blissfully unaffected by mass tourism.
Australia is a destination that's probably pretty high on most people's travel bucket lists. From airborne adventures to treks across striking landscapes and countless diving opportunities, not to mention the infamous wildlife and landmarks, this is without a doubt one spectacular country that begs to be explored.
For many, this is the first official working week of the year. Which sucks. Perhaps you've already been back at work for a week or more? Sucked in. Maybe you're one of those rare people who adore their job, and have been counting down the days until you can get back to work as if it's Christmas. You freak.

December 14 organizational meeting of all groups.
After the strong Strategic Visioning Kick-Off event on October 27 with over 200 in attendance, the Planning and Assessment Committee Steering Committee (PAC-SC) launched a Strategic Visioning website on November 1.
The PAC-SC then collected and synthesized the feedback from the event participants and from the website into the themes for the Working Groups. A call for volunteers went out to the campus on November 23 and many individuals answered the call. On December 2, the PAC-SC met to form the membership of each of five Working Groups and selected two Co-Chairs for each. Each Working Group will have a PAC-SC liaison for coordination. The Working Group Co-Chairs participated in a two hour training on December 14 and the first organizational meetings of all groups were held directly after this. Dr. McMahan addressed everyone to thank them for the work that they were about to undertake and provide insight as to how important this is to Kettering's future direction. The Working Groups have a deadline of early February to complete their work and will be engaging the campus for input. To follow the progress, please see the Kettering University Strategic Visioning Website at the following link.
The Board of Trustees welcomed new member John W. Moyer at its December meeting. John is President and COO of Asahi Kasei Plastics North America, located in suburban Detroit.

The Innovation Center at Kettering University
The Innovation Center at Kettering University won a Design Excellence award from the American Institute of Architects. Here were the jury comments on the building, which was designed by SHW Group: "The design team demonstrated restraint and achieved richness and interest. The palette feels just right especially the insertion of wood slats at the entry desk creating a welcoming presence where needed most. The overall light quality is consistent and very comfortable from space to space. Lab spaces are well designed before fitting out as well as after—a good indication of thoughtfulness and through design execution. The massing works well—and are one of purposeful complexity that is interesting from indoors and out."
A new hallway will soon be constructed through this wall in the Academic Building.
The Academic Building is getting a new hallway. Construction will begin soon to convert a portion of the Physics 2 studio classroom into a new hallway, allowing better traffic flow for the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department. Construction will slice through the cinderblock wall just beyond the bulletin board. ECE's new hall portal will be located left of the ramp in the AB.
The Academic Building and the Mott Center are now accessible only by ID card key at all times (this includes the tunnel door). Students, faculty, and staff should carry their ID cards as they travel throughout campus to ensure access to all buildings. Faculty and staff are encouraged to wear their ID cards in a visible location, to enable our students to easily identify university personnel. Students are also encouraged to wear their ID cards visibly when on campus.

CLEVELAND — Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine has announced new investigative support and grant funding that will help prosecutors in Cleveland process the backlog of rape DNA kits.
The new resources detailed by DeWine on Friday include a $450,000 grant so the Cuyahoga (ky-uh-HOH'-guh) County prosecutor's office can hire six new investigators to help clear the backlog of rape kits that need DNA testing to try to identify suspects. He said office also will get more help from the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation.
Statewide, law enforcement agencies have submitted more than 9,000 rape kits for testing to seek DNA matches that could help solve reported sexual assaults.
In Cuyahoga County, prosecutors have generated more than 200 indictments due to the testing.

* PMI points to second-quarter growth of 0.4-0.5 pct -Markit
* Firms still cutting prices to boost demand
LONDON, June 4 (Reuters) - Euro zone business growth eased in May and firms cut prices for the 26th straight month, a survey showed on Wednesday, likely underpinning expectations for the European Central Bank to loosen policy on Thursday.
While output across the region remained solid, supported once again by Germany and pointing to euro zone GDP growth of 0.4-0.5 percent this quarter, French business activity slipped back into contraction after just two months of growth.
Similarly, accelerating growth in the service industry was offset by an easing in manufacturing.
"Although the euro zone is enjoying its best performance for three years, this is an uneven, stuttering and lacklustre recovery," said Chris Williamson, chief economist at survey compiler Markit.
Markit's Composite PMI, widely seen as a good gauge of growth, dipped to 53.5 in May, shy of a flash reading of 53.9 and below April's final 54.0. But it held above the 50 mark dividing growth from contraction for the 11th month running.
The slowdown in growth came despite firms again cutting their prices. The output price index nudged up to 48.8 from 48.7 but has held below the break-even mark since April 2012.
"The overall rate of growth is just not strong enough to allow firms to push through price hikes. This is perhaps the final nail in the coffin for hopes of a robust recovery without stimulus," Williamson said.
ECB policymakers have flagged a policy move for their meeting on Thursday and sources told Reuters last month the bank was preparing a package of policy options, including cuts in all its interest rates and targeted measures aimed at boosting lending to small- and mid-sized firms (SMEs).
Euro zone price inflation fell unexpectedly in May, coming in at just 0.5 percent, official data showed on Tuesday, increasing the risks of deflation in the currency area and all-but sealing the case for the ECB to act this week.
The index for the euro zone's vast service industry rose to a near three-year high of 53.2 in May from 53.1 in April as new business came in at its fastest pace since mid-2011, with the related subindex rising to 52.8 from 52.3.

United Methodist mission agency commits $100,000 to Sudan
by Linda Bloom
Expressing continuing concern about the people of Sudan, the United Methodist General Board of Global Ministries has designated $100,000 to assist with the humanitarian crisis there.
The board's relief agency, the United Methodist Committee on Relief, also has dispatched an assessment team to the region of Darfur in western Sudan. Jennifer Poitras and Ali Aamoum, international relief and development professionals, arrived Oct. 21 in Khartoum and will spend three weeks exploring how to expand UMCOR's involvement in delivering aid.
In a conflict that has been labeled as genocide by some, more than 1.2 million people have been driven from their homes in the Darfur region since 2003, and as many as 70,000 have died.
The Rev. R. Randy Day, chief executive of the United Methodist General Board of Global Ministries, said the information and statistics being gathered about the situation in Sudan have not resulted in sufficient political action.
He told United Methodist News Service he hopes the $100,000 grant can be used "to really focus the denomination, more than it is at present, on the crisis there."
Taken from the agency's program development fund at Day's request, the money was approved by board directors at the October annual meeting and will support programs that promote child protection, income generation for women and safe returns to rebuilt villages.
United Methodist donations already have supported UMCOR assistance in the region. Currently, the agency is working with an international ecumenical alliance in Chad refugee camps holding 130,000 Sudanese.
Gifts can be designated to UMCOR Advance No. 184385, "Sudan Emergency." Checks can be dropped in church collection plates or mailed directly to UMCOR at 475 Riverside Dr., Room 330, New York, NY 10115. Credit-card donations can be made, toll free, by calling (800) 554-8583.
Other grants approved through the program development fund in October also have a focus on children or on people immersed in crisis or just emerging from crisis, Day said.
Those grants include:

German Grill v. Grill Dome v. Dragonfire Kamado
My trusty Weber kettle is about to disintegrate after a decade and I am thinking about upgrading, either to a Kamado-style ceramic cooker or a higher-end charcoal grill.
Would welcome any first hand or, even better, comparative thoughts on these. Even better would be someplace in greater Boston where I could actually take a close look in person.
Thoughts? The three principal options I'm considering are below.
There aren't too many more bells and whistles on the German Grill to justify that jump in price from regular charcoal grills.
As for kamado cookers, as far as I can tell there isn't a whole heap of difference between most different brands. There is one brand to avoid at all costs, and it's simply known as Kamado. The material crumbles, they ship out moldy charcoal, and the guy who runs the company is shady at best, probably closer to outright fraudulent. They are not to be confused with Komodo Kamado, which puts out the Rolls Royce of ceramic cookers. Granted, the Komodo Kamado is usually over $3,000, but if you want the best...
I just recently went shopping for a ceramic cooker and came home with a large Big Green Egg. There's a certain camaraderie among BGE owners that's not quite like anything else I've seen. I've done burgers and beer-can chicken on it so far, and both have come out utterly delicious. Next up is some pulled pork, maybe some ribs too...
I own a previous generation German grill - a bit different in design from the current model. In terms of metal charcoal grills this will probably be the last one I ever buy.
Construction is solid, and for the most part it is well thought out.
However the cooking area is too small for family gatherings, and I need to haul out the cheapo grill for overflow.
I would suggest you consider The Big Green Egg. This company has a lot of dealers and has been around since '74 so they gave a proven track record plus you should have no trouble finding a local dealer.
Of those you listed the Grill Dome is the stand out IMO just be sure to price every thing you need to operate the unit including a thermometer, adjustable top and some sort of nest/table. You must call them to get a freight quote as they only have one retail outlet in the South. Be sure to get a quote that includes insurance and delivery with a truck that has a lift gate unless you have two strong people to lift the unit off the back of a semi.
I know several guys that have GD's and they all like them. Basiclly the same price as a BGE and similar in design but with out the long standing track record and dealer network.
You may also want to consider the Primos oval.
Cooking on a ceramic cooker will change the way you view BBQ and grilling. You may never order out Pizza or Paella again or even think about eating BBQ or grilled steaks any where but home.
i bought the grill dome as it was similar to the egg but cheaper. If you are in Canada, by the time shipping, customs, and the customs broker are done with me, along with the exchange rate, and with the three weeks to get it, I'd have done better to drive 5 minutes to the BBQ dealer and just bought my green egg... they are more or less the same. next thing i want is the BBQ Guru. Otherwise, all things being more or less equal, if in the states, I'd get the Grill Dome.
re: mentalvelcro
was there duty in addtion to taxes when you brought your green egg into canada?
I'm lucky to live in Atlanta, both BGE and Grill Dame have manufacturing plants near here. Go to BGE?? Can't see much, can't buy there - have ot go to a distributor. Go to Grill Dome?? Taken in the back for a tour, saw grills cooking in the back, talked to people making them and bought it on the spot with no dealer mark-up. We use it on average 5 or 6 times a month, more in summer/fall, less in the winter for about 2 years now. BGE may have the better marketing department, but for the savings ~ $300 for my large & assecories - better stand, thicker ceramic, sturdier hinge. I'm Grill dome all the way.
re: Hobiedog
Online stores list the large Grilldome Infinity series for $629. How much cheaper was it to buy it onsite in Atlanta?
How have you been using your Weber kettle and what would you like to be able to do with your next grill that the Weber doesn't do well?
I ask because we have a Weber Performer charcoal and a Weber Genesis gas grill, and are in California as opposed to Boston. We use one or the other, or both, most of the year several times a week when we are home.
Looking at the websites for the three grills you listed, I liked the design of the German Grill, but can it do rotisserie, or actually, can any of these do rotisserie? If no, that would knock them out of the running. Or is there a different technique that achieves rotisserie chicken dripping onto potatoes?
I have been cooking on a Kamado Grill for several years now...I've owned two different brands, and all two have accomplished the job (without a lot of difference between any of them), but each has its pros and cons...I have never cooked on a German Grill.
The grill I liked the best is the Dragonfire, but I recently heard they were no longer available. The Grill Dome is an OK grill, but some of its features are poor quality, such as: the medal parts are mostly black iron and I had the top interior piece to crack, however, they did replace it at no charge. I live near the coast and I had a rust issue the first season...the fact the Grill Dome promotes the thickness of their dome as a benefit...I found it offered no value as far as I'm concerned...i found that the only thing it did was add weight to the unit.
The Dragonfire heated and held heat just as long as the Grill Dome and the Dragonfire held its temperature more true in longer operations...
The Dragonfire has all stainless steel parts including a neat stainless steel stand (included in the price)...the prices were comparable, but the Grill Dome did not come with a stand. I never did seriously consider the Green Egg because its parts are all black iron and was higher in price, let alone, made in Mexico...hats off to the Green Egg for a great marketing effort!
i just got the Big Steel Keg, formerly the bubba keg.
It's shaped like a kamado, but is made of insulated steel instead of ceramic. That makes it a bit lighter, a bit less breakable, and a bit cheaper, while keeping the same heat retaining cooking characteristics that make the egg etc so good for both grilling and low and slow.
I haven't used it too much yet, but so far i really like it
re: Steve Weavil
i've just gotten it, but from my readings, not really. it does have cast iron grates, so you need to keep them seasoned, but thats the only issue i see

One of the best aspects of Advance Wars is the sheer amount of things you can do. If you choose not to play the Campaign mode, you can still fight and earn battlefields in the War Room, or can get friends together and play multiplayer on either one GBA or link up to four GBAs at one time.
Handheld game or not, the depth and complexity of Advance Wars is astonishing.
From trying to unlock every CO to buying all the War Room and Vs. maps to trying to earn the best rank possible, there are enough features in this game to make three games. Advance Wars is pretty much perfect in every category.
In terms of sheer depth and pure gameplay, there really is nothing else on the GBA to touch Advance Wars.
I never had so much fun NOT playing a game. You see, whether you share one GBA or link several up, you don't get to do anything when it's not your turn. [Oct 2001, p.156]

JoeT.Aug 14, 2007A highly addictive, yet extremely complex game for the GBA. This game perfectly fits the mold of 'easy to learn, hard to master'.
DanielW.Mar 25, 2003This game is a must buy, just turn off the speakers while you play, the audio sucks. Visually it's great, along with the gameplay. Sucks that you have to watch the computer when it's not your turn though. And finally, the make your own map future rules!… Collapse
ChachisanAug 13, 2005If you've never played this game before, do yourself a favor and buy it, play it, and experience it. It doesn't matter if you're a Nintendo lover or hater. This is one of those games that will exercise your brain while you're having fun. You'll ride the local train instead of the express to get in more playtime. You'll think about spending some of your lunch break playing. And when you're winding down for bed you'll want to sneak in a quick move or two as you fall asleep. This game pretty much consumed all of my free time when I first got a GBASP early last year. I haven't played Advance Wars 2, but I'm going to skip it and go for Advance Wars DS as soon as I tire of Meteos and Super Mario 64 DS.… Expand
EricC.Feb 9, 2003What's so addicting about this game is that it mimicks a game of chess. Well thought moves using a variety of units to achieve victory by either total defeat, capturing of the HQ, or some other task. Not doing anything when it's your turn is merely a part of the gameplay, and I'm surprised some see it as a negative. Sometimes, I found this game to be too addictive and I couldn't stop playing for hours. What makes this game great is the variety of strategy used in the battlefield. I would highly recommend this for any GBA owner.… Expand

Excellent boot! It is, however, about one size too big compared to the other Double H boots I own that are the same style.
Review by: Linda%20%20, Rockford ILLINIOS , 10/31/2014 8:04:02 PM
I did purchase the next size up and the wide. And agree this product runs small. Therefore, because I didn't get the 8 1/2 and went with the 9 1/2 wide, they fit perfectly. Best purchase ever. Most comfortable shoe. Looking to purchase another pair as I thought I had soar feet. And now am finding it's the cheap shoes. Glad to purchase American made good quality boots. Thank you!
Review by: Ellis, Douglasville, 10/21/2014 7:35:44 AM
Great boots very comfortable feel like tennis shoes. I didn't know Double H made lace ups. I was leaning towards Ariat lace ups but I knew these would be better quality. They fit true to size. Fast delivery and service by Shoe line will definitely order from them again.

Review by: JohnW, Plano / Texas, 7/25/2014 10:40:05 AM
Boots arrived in perfect condition and fit great. The boots are very comfortable and they look good. Nice to have Made in the USA boots! I ordered the size that I normally wear for dress shoes (which is one-half size smaller than what I wear for athletic shoes). Had never ordered shoes online before, so, was dreading having to deal with returning them if they didn't fit as expected (no opportunity locally to try on sizes). But, no worries - ordering from shoeline was convenient and easy. I had confidence since I linked to them from the Double H website. The shipment contained a pre-paid return address label, just in case I needed to return the item. It was nice to see that option if I had needed to use it. Will definitely be purchasing from shoeline in the future!

"The L Word" Season 5 Premiere: Photos and More
Marlee Matlin: "We knew that there was a fan base that wasn't being served by this kind of programming, and it's exactly what the audience wants. It's a matter of providing them with good writing and good acting, and that's all we had to do and they show up. It's good stuff, and good stuff always sells. It's a no-brainer that there's going to be a Season 6."
Pam Grier (on what's in store for Kit this season): "She's going to face some of the worst demons she ever has because she's clean now and she can't get away with anything anymore. She's dealing with the loss of her lover Angus, she's dealing with so much. She's going to mature, she's going do some growing. It's [The L Word] done very well and I'm very, very pleased with it. It's very positive, but bittersweet because there's a lot of things she's gonna have to let go of that will hurt her."

Americans' trust in Obama fading with each scandal
STEVE HUNTLEY firstname.lastname@example.com June 10, 2013 4:54PM
President Barack Obama gestures as he speaks in San Jose, Calif. , Friday, June 7, 2013. The president defended his government's secret surveillance, saying Congress has repeatedly authorized the collection of America's phone records and U.S. internet use. (AP Photo/Evan Vucci)
Updated: July 12, 2013 6:17AM
National defense is a pre-eminent priority of government. So is preserving our civil liberties. The uproar over disclosures about the massive surveillance of telephone records by the National Security Agency demonstrates, in general, the precarious balancing act necessary to mesh the two priorities, and, in particular, evidence President Barack Obama is losing the American people's trust that his administration can maintain that delicate balance.
Fifty-nine percent of voters oppose the phone sweeps, according to a Rasmussen poll. I think the verdict is still out that the NSA's collection of millions of phone records unreasonably violates privacy as our intelligence agencies pursue terrorists. As Obama noted, no one's calls are being listened to, or names revealed without a court order. The huge files of phone numbers, calls made, when and where to, are analyzed by supercomputers for patterns of activity to track down terrorists.
That's not to say there aren't troubling aspects to this. Though we've known about this practice since the Bush presidency, we were not aware of the frequency or magnitude of the phone record sweeps. Also disturbing is that the NSA has built a million-square-foot facility in Utah to store this personal data apparently forever. Why is that necessary if, as Obama claims, the threat of mega-attacks is receding, enabling the country to confront terrorism as a largely criminal matter as it did before the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks? I don't think sweeping phone records and storing them indefinitely would have passed muster in the pre-9/11 era.
This enormous storehouse of personal data on virtually every American using a phone is a honey pot for those susceptible to abusing government power. And we've seen a lot of that.
The Internal Revenue Service singled out conservative and Republican groups for intimidation. The Justice Department spied on journalists. The National Labor Relations Board thumbed its nose at two federal court rulings declaring its actions unconstitutional.
The administration has been disingenuous if not outright lying to the American people and Congress. James Clapper, director of national intelligence, flatly told lawmakers that no such massive sweeps of phone records were occurring. IRS executive Lois Lerner used the Fifth Amendment to avoid testifying. Attorney General Eric Holder told Congress he had never been involved with any potential prosecution of the press; he also signed off on a search warrant labeling a Washington journalist as a potential criminal. Both can't be true.
In the days after the murder of a U.S. ambassador and three other Americans in Libya, administration operatives endeavored to shade the truth about the Benghazi attack. Lisa Jackson, former administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency, and others have maintained secret email accounts that suspiciously look like an effort to avoid oversight.
Obama's reaction is that, essentially, he's out of the loop. For example, he said he learned about the IRS and Justice controversies from newspaper accounts. What else is going on that he — and we — don't know about? Given this record, is it unreasonable to wonder if Holder, or another attorney general pursuing a probe of leaks of government secrets, might not turn to the Utah storehouse of phone records to track the calls and movements of journalists? And what havoc could a politically motivated IRS or a president bent on destroying his enemies do with access to such data?
Scandals have consequences. Combatting terrorists who use our ordinary communications to plot their outrages requires surveillance methods that go right up to the line on civil liberties. It's dangerous for the nation that the scandals on his watch are eroding Americans' trust in Obama and his administration.

South Korea, 2001 (MIFF 2002, Beauty within the Beast – Kim Ki-Duk)
Director: Kim Ki-Duk
Hang Gi, a tough pimp ruling his brothel with an iron fist, has a huge chip on his shoulder. Moments after setting eyes on Seon-hwa, a pretty and proper college student, he forces her to kiss him, indifferent to her disgust, until a beating by soldiers sends him on his way. A scheme is concocted by which Seon-hwa will be blackmailed, bankrupted and offered no alternative but to work in Hang Gi's brothel. From this unlikely beginning, a strange romance flowers.
"Certainly one of the most provocative filmmakers around... fans admire his unflinching social, sexual and emotional observations. Kim Ki-Duk pulls no punches in his new urban opus. A twisted, tortured love story if ever there was one, to each of the protagonists love is a weakness they refuse to concede. A remarkable lead performance which manages to convey anger and longing, affection and pain all in the same glance." - Screen International
"A skewed beauty-and-the-beast yarn played out with all of Kim's dark fatalism." - Variety

Kim Kardashian Divorce Details: Nothing for Kris!by Hilton Hater at . Comments
It's official: Kim Kardashian is a free woman.
And Kris Humphries is a total loser. Literally!
This Kardashian divorce case has been settled in a Los Angeles court, sources confirm to TMZ, with the Brooklyn Nets power forward walking away with absolutely nothing as a result.
Here is what a judge has decreed:
- Kris, who had demanded $7 million at one point, receives no money from Kim.
- All claims of an annulment based on fraud have been dismissed.
- Each party will pay his/her own legal fees.
To reiterate: This is a DIVORCE, not an annulment, which is the aim Kim has had in mind for all 536 days since she and Humphries first split.
The judge reportedly congratulated Kardashian on her "dissolution" and - get this! - was prepared to fine Humphries for not attending any recent hearings… only for Kim to request he not do so.
So let the countdown to a Kim/Kanye West wedding begin!
If she marries Kanye I can see that marriage lasting maybe....hmmmm. 70 days.
It's funny cuz it's true. lol
I am happy for Kim too. But the real reason he HAD to let it go was it was affecting his future with the Nets. His pettiness almost cost him his job/ The Nets are going to the playoffs and did now want his drama during their run. I am willing to bet you that told him to fix his mess or else! He was going to lose anyway and still may be fined for not showing up for the prior court date. He HAD to let it go, otherwise he would still be acting like a bitch.
Her pettiness is what dragged this on so long. It was a case of fraud pure and simple. He had every right to want an annulment. Stop sucking on Kim's tit.
Im thinking a good 72 days and they should be married.. How ya like that Kris?
Divorce settlement contracts need to be written up, signed and agreed to by both parties and presented to the judge for his decision. Then filed. The divorce is not finalized until that time and there will be a waiting period up to near the end of June in case either party changes their mind.
So what are you saying, that he can tie this up indefinitely? Your legal facts are wrong.It is a done deal! I wonder why you would want them together forever, since you loathe Kim Kardashian.Kim has moved on. Go Kim! What he did was so wrong.
Yayyyyyy! Congrats Kim, I always knew Kris was a loser, sorry you had to go thru the crap :D
Kim KarTRASHian is the biggest whore and media slut around. She only married him for the money and the camera time. Nothing more. She never cared about him. Now she is prego to make money off of Kanye and his kid. She is a disgrace.
Finallyyy! So happy for her & better for future baby west <3
You are so right. She was way to good for him.
just believe me when I say.SHE HASN'T MUCH OF HER OWN.
she almost pennyless.
not true, she has real estate so she has money! jealous much?
If you believe she was almost broke your crazy. People love to look for the negative with whole family. She has her own money from all the businesses she has going.
Right. You mean the businesses her pimp bother set up for her. Get real.

- Summary: Vergil's Downfall is downloadable content for DmC: Devil May Cry that shows players what happens to Vergil after the events of the main game.
- Developer: Ninja Theory
- Genre(s): Fantasy
- Cheats: On GameFAQs
- More Details and Credits »
Score distribution:
Positive: 4 out of 8
Mixed: 3 out of 8
Negative: 1 out of 8
Mar 5, 2013The first DMC paid DLC brings us into Vergil's dark world, delving into his story. The DLC is quite short, and lacks the action of the original. Even though the fans of the saga can be interested in knowing the hidden background of Dante's twin brother, it strikes us as a bit overpriced.
Mar 11, 2013Vergil's Downfall is worth playing through if you enjoyed DmC at all, and you could do a lot worse with $9.
Mar 5, 2013The tragic story of Vergil and the comic-book way it is told, as well as the ability to play as Vergil himself, make these few short chapters more than worth getting. This content may not be quite as good as the original game, but it's a must-have for any fan of the Devil May Cry series.
Mar 5, 2013Vergil's Downfall has the misfortune of coming right after DmC: this DLC is by no means a bad add-on, yet it's not quite on par with the surprisingly high standards of the original game by Ninja Theory. If you feel like fighting some more, give it a go, but just don't expect Vergil to be as satisfying and appealing as Dante.
Apr 22, 2013The cutscenes consist of 2D-animations, a sign that Ninja Theory didn't put everything they had into this DLC. But to be fair: playing with Vergil feels like a completely new experience. [April 2013, p.88]
Mar 13, 2013Vergil's Downfall, while unable to reach it's full potential, isn't terrible. Vergil's unique combat mechanics are fun and engaging, but everything else just feels too lazily slapped together to ignore.
Mar 13, 2013In the end, it's worth playing through if you got it free from a pre-order deal when DmC was purchased. But I honestly don't think it's worth the $10 asking price.
Score distribution:
Positive: 5 out of 6
Mixed: 0 out of 6
Negative: 1 out of 6
Oct 11, 2013A very nice in-depth look into one of the leading characters of DmC. This DLC pack was full of excellent story-telling and gameplay, while giving a deeper look into Vergil's descent into insanity. This DLC pack even further leaves DmC wide open for a riveting sequel.… Expand
Mar 5, 2013This is a fantastic piece of DLC. Packed full of upgrades, trophies, new levels and a few new demons. Vergil controls somewhat differently to Dante, but once you wrap your head around the differences he can be a lot of fun to play as. The way Vergil slips deeper and deeper into a more twisted and evil version of himself (bringing him closer to what we saw in DMC3) is handled with such aplomb by Ninja Theory, they should be highly commended for what they have managed to do not just here, but with the full game as well. The scene is well set up for (hopefully) a sequel on the next gen.… Expand
Mar 25, 2013Vergil's Downfall chronicles the events that transpire after the conclusion of the main game's story. The DLC contains a new playable character with a completely different move-set to Dante and six brand new missions to play through. I'l keep this short to avoid spoilers. The game play is very entertaining. The plot seemed average at first, but upon replaying it I noticed a lot of symbolism and ways to interpret just what is going on in the DLC. The soundtrack isn't as memorable as the main game. The visuals still look great but some of them (quite a lot actually) are ripped straight from the main game. If you enjoyed DmC, this is worth the price tag. If not, you probably won't enjoy this.
Also, for those of you who tremble at the thought of Dante's new look, this DLC has a white haired protagonist.… Expand
Mar 6, 2013Pros- -More DMC! - free if you pre-ordered - has a few Bright spots. Cons- cutscenes are mixed with cheap cartoons. - 3 hours long. - Not nearly as awesome as the real game.
- action, story, and overall experience was a bit lacking.… Expand
Oct 9, 2014It's hard to believe someone comes up with these kind of "plots" and people in charge approve... The main game itself failed miserably, but the DLC took it to another level. I almost feel bad for the effort that's been put into the game, and the DLC... Even the combat system felt clumsy and dull compared to Dante's...… Expand

CHALMETTE, La. (AP) A government researcher who hopes to track the long-term health effects of the 2010 BP Gulf of Mexico oil spill says there are early indications that cleanup workers were 30 percent more likely to suffer from depression than others living in areas affected by the spill. Doctor Dale Sandler of the National Institutes of Environmental Health Sciences says today it's too early to know whether exposure to oil or dispersants would account for higher levels of depression.

Oct. 6 (Bloomberg) -- Ukraine's winter-wheat harvest next year may be 3 million to 4 million metric tons lower than estimated after dry weather in September delayed sowing, according to the national Hydrometeorology Center.
An "incomplete harvest is ensured," Tetiana Adamenko, head of the agro-meteorology department at the weather center, said by phone today from Kiev. Dryness caused farmers to leave about 1.5 million hectares (3.7 million acres) bare, she said. Around 18 percent of winter wheat was sown after the optimal period and 20 percent was never planted.
As much as half of the grain sown for winter will be at risk and dependent on weather, according to Adamenko. Farmers may seed barley next spring in fields where crops were lost because of weather, she said.
Temperatures will decline and rain is likely across most of Ukraine starting Oct. 8, Adamenko said. Wheat and rapeseed will require warm weather in November to develop sufficiently for wintering, she said.

Self-Made Map
Cartographic Writing in Early Modern France
moreThe Self-Made Map argues that during the Renaissance in France a "new cartographic impulse" affected both the "graphic and imaginary forms of literature." In this wide-ranging and fascinating work, Tom Conley demonstrates that as new maps were plotted during this period, a new sense of self emerged, one defined in part by the relationship of the self to space. Conley traces the explosion of interest in mapmaking that occurred with the discovery of the New World, and discusses the commensurate rise of what he defines as cartographic writing—writing that "holds, penetrates, delineates, and explores space." Considering the works of such writers as Rabelais, Montaigne, and Descartes, Conley provides a "navigation" through the printed page, revealing the emerging values of Renaissance France. In his examination of the placing of words, letters, and graphic elements in books, he exposes the playful and sometimes enigmatic relation between spatial organization and text. Conley also exposes the ideological exercise inherent in mapmaking, arguing that Renaissance cartography is inseparably bound up with the politics of the era. He undertakes close readings of maps and illustrations, discussing the necessity of viewing Renaissance maps in the context of their typographic layout, graphic reproduction, and literary and ideological import. Richly illustrated throughout, The Self-Made Map combines studies of art, geography, history, literature, and printing to show a clear historical transformation, along the way linking geographical discoveries, printing processes, and political awareness. Conley's provocative analysis discloses how early modern printed literature and cartography worked together to crystallize broader issues engaging the then emergent status of cultural identity, nation, and individuality. less

He was a computer whiz who worked at Reddit and, later, drew the ire of the U.S. government with his pointed critiques. Swartz took his own life at the age of 26. The new documentary America argues that the government's aggressive prosecution of Swartz for hacking into questionable files speaks to the heart of an administration which targets its political enemies. The following clip recalls how Swartz first crossed the Obama administration and, later, why the government's prosecution against him seemed to go above and beyond a standard case. America, which warns viewers about liberal politicians all too eager to abandon the nation's core principles, opens nationwide July 2, 2014. Note: This article has been updated to correctly identify Swartz's position with Reddit.
