Message I just sent via the "comments" link at the great Bob Jones University "easy listening" station, which plays great Christmas music all through each Advent:
Subject line: music and the "unlimited detention of civilians" law passed yesterday
WHAT an 8:00 hour! "Jesus of Nazareth" sung by Domingo -- totally new to me, instant classic. Sir Christemas -- bizarre/wonderful modern gem, so good to hear it a second time since you played it a few days ago. Children's choir and piano number, possibly "Hush my dear lie still and slumber" -- divine. I want to tell those kids about the jew world order, but they'll have to remain sitting ducks for its galloping federal tyranny..... THANK YOU -- /\/

An article entitled "LA State Rep wants National Guard to fight black crime in New Orleans."
http://cofcc.org/2011/12/la-state-re...n-new-orleans/Despite shipping many of their worst criminals to other states after Katrina, nothing has changed in New Orleans. The murder rate remains one of the highest in the Western Hemisphere.
This is the flaw of multiculturalism and equality. Do black and most other minorities need military or militarized police to keep them under control---the answer is YES! But Whites do not need that type of force in order to have an orderly sociality.
This is the great flaw of treating everybody "equally." It is that one ends up going down to the lowest common denominator (a.k.a. the worst of society) in order to enforce law and order. This leads to outright oppression of those elements of society who behave. Often times, ironically, the best behaved are treat worst because the worst behave are too dangerous and the "enforcers" are bullies, often the worst behaved members of society, and scared of them physically or being called "racist."
Society is always an us or them prospect and if one tries to lump everyone into "us" everyone becomes "them."
Whenever a Squad Car in my smelly burg decides to follow my car, I IMMEDIATELY bail out into the next possible turn, intersection, parking lot, whatever. For good reason - I personally know a number of the low-IQ Negroes and Rednecks who populate my local police dept. and the "State Troopers", universally Negroid, are the worst of them all.
An article entitled "Fighting off 1984"
http://www.whitecivilrights.com/?p=6464In other words, if you want to touch a single dollar of taxpayer money, you allow DHS into your computer network and let them do whatever the heck they want. No, no, no, thats not mandating standards, just telling the private sector that if you dont comply, its bye-bye government contracts.
The next step will be to find some way to allow the DHS to force its way into other major computer networks and databases, probably through declaring certain companies or institutions security sensitive and possible targets of terrorist attack, presumably from terrorists (other than the DHS).
The object of the Surveillance State is simple: to watch everybody all the time, or as nearly as that can be accomplished. Thanks to computers and word recognition they can zoom in on someone who says anything the Feds find offensive like gun or Second Amendment. High on the agenda is making sure there are no secure and private computers left, anywhere.
An article entitled "Homeland Security Tags Words like Illegal Immigrant"
http://www.whitecivilrights.com/?p=6510Is this the sort of government you want? All the presidential candidates except Ron Paul support endless increases in the power of federal police agencies. The possibilities for abuse are endless. We desperately need to elect patriots, who will honor the Constitution, not puppets for a Zionist Occupational Government, who ignore the Constitution as if it doesnt matter at all.
The Tea Party and Ron Paul are a good start for reversing the march toward tyranny. The first big issue will be to slam the door shut to Third World immigration. Uneducated, unintelligent Third World voters invariably flock to the Democrat Party and hasten the collapse of America. If we cant stop their invasion of the US, then America will become yet another brown Third World country like India or Pakistan mired in poverty with no future.
An article entitled " State bureaucrats strip Doomsday Prepper of gun rights."
http://cofcc.org/2012/02/state-burea...of-gun-rights/Was it wise for David Sarti to go on a cable tv network and show off how many guns he owns? Immediately following the show, a flimsy manufactured claim of mentally defective was issued to strip him of his gun rights.
An article entitled "Police State thugs demand all school children eat the same food."
http://cofcc.org/2012/02/police-stat...the-same-food/A four year old in NC had her turkey and cheese sandwich seized and was forced to eat prefabricated chemically bleached nuggets made from the left-over scrap pieces of chicken and gelatin. Police state childhood development officials declared her Turkey and Cheese, Banana, and juice box to be unhealthy.
Instead she was forced to eat a meal made from the pink goo you see pictured at right. The Federal government recently ordered $7 million dollars worth of Ammonium Hydroxide filled pink goo to be distributed to public schools all over America. McDonalds, however, announced two weeks ago that they were discontinuing use of the pink goo because of an anti-ammonia campaign.
Her mother was given a bill for $1.25.
"Stealing" food from little children!
An article entitled "Mark Byron's Facebook Posts About Estranged Wife Lead To Odd Choice"
The story referenced by Michael above was covered on the men's rights site The Spearhead. The comments after the articles on this site are always worth a read as well.
Editor, The Nationalist Times, Voice of the Real America since 1985
The ironic part is the laws were passed and most of the judges are men. These "people" seem to be the most politically correct beings that exist. Many may have sold their souls, so to speak, in order to gain and keep power.
Remember back in the 1980's with the Arkansas Supreme Court many rulings would have one dissenter and that would often be and an old Justice called Justice Jim Johnson. The majority would normally be for political correctness/big business, which seem to go hand in hand.
There are sill good honest judges out there but they are few and far between and they don't normally move up. Most judges today get their positions by being politically correct and when they get in power they continue to be and rule not according to the law but by how they believe the "elite" want them to. In the end, they will break the law and once they do, they are trapped for if a populist/nationalist government comes to power, they are a criminal who will likely spend the rest of their life as a prisoner doing hard labor. This may even be worse for ones in Confederate states who are part of an occupying government without the cushion of legitimacy. This makes their ruling even more draconian and against the law for they are afraid of what would happen to them if the government changes, so they rule for minorities and to increase their numbers and power for they stand with the police state for it increases their wealth and power. This creates a strong core of police state supporters among judges and other politicians for they are cowards who fear punishment for their crimes.
Women's power is only what power men give them. Right now nature and the economy are working against the "elite" and when the proverbial straw breaks the proverbial camels back, which could be tomorrow or a hundred years from now, but most like fairly soon, the natural order will return. Women will turn to men for protection as they always do in times of chaos. The question is what will the price be?
An article entitled "Of the March of Jack Booted Anglos"
http://mat-rodina.blogspot.com/2012/...s-my-dear.htmlAs a matter of fact, 25 Viper teams were responsible for 9,000 checkpoints along the American road system, last year alone and that number, both of teams and checkpoints, will be increasing.
The best part is, it is led by black Americans who have for generations been the ones screaming loudest of over bearing police, so that the moment they get into power, they prove even worse.
Meanwhile, massive anti-Internet and data sharing laws, such as SOPA, paid for by the oligarchs of the media to their bought and paid for government, are on the verge of shutting any and all communication down. Barrack Obama has even been fighting for an Internet kill switch to be placed in his hands, to shut everything down in cases of emergency, a term that never seems to get many adjectives or other descriptive words, that is, no boundaries defining it.
Legal experts are warning that the proposed PROTECT IP and the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) legislation, currently working their way through Congress, will damage the world's DNS system, cripple attempts to get better online security and violate free speech rights in the US constitution
Under the terms of the proposed PROTECT IP legislation a US federal prosecutor who finds a foreign website that is dedicated to infringing activities can force all US internet service providers, domain name registries, domain name registrars and operators of domain name servers to block either the offending page or the whole web domain from the DNS system* - effectively wiping the site off the internet map..
An article entitled "Aurora police pull forty people out of theirs cars, handcuff them for two hours"

An article entitled "Veterans quietly forced into mental hospitals"
An article entitled "Former Marine, Brandon Raub Released from Confinement for Exercising his Free Speech"
Some history buffs may be familiar with the old Soviet Union and their habit of throwing political dissidents into mental institutions. Im sure most Americans would say That could never happen here in the US. Well, it has happened here in the US, and not just once.http://www.davidduke.com/?p=36247It seems as though our government reacts especially harshly with dissidents who call for replacing the two party system and who demand a return to the silver standard. That combination of two things seems to put you at the top of their target list for some reason.
You really wonder sometimes how the secret police choose the people they victimize, since there are so many out there saying and posting the same things. Maybe its some kind of lottery. If so, Sergeant Raub was the unlucky winner of some special unlawful persecution at the hands of the Obama regime.
An article entitled "The Right to Execute American Citizens without Trial"
http://www.whitecivilrights.com/?p=10365Is anyone in this country paying any attention at all to what the government of Barack Hussein Obama is doing?
Has anyone noticed that Obama has now officially proclaimed that he has the power to execute American citizens at will, anywhere, any time, and without trial or charge of any kind? Does anyone realize that as recently as twelve years ago, a statement such as I just made would have been so completely outrageous and absurd that even the wildest right-wing paranoid case would not have believed it, not even of Bill Clinton? Bill and Hillary seem to have murdered quite a few people, to be sure, but not officially. Not legally. They didnt announce the fact openly with a press conference.

By Ingrid Abramovitch
Talk fashionor his other favorite pastime, decoratingwith André Leon Talley, and the conversation is packed with superlatives. "Marvelous! Extraordinary!

Last spring Talleya protégé of Diana Vreeland and sartorial consultant to the Obama familyleft Vogue's staff after three decades (he remains a contributor) to become international editor at large of Russian style magazine Numéro Russia.

How to Survive as a New Nurse
Being a new nurse can be challenging but newbies need not be intimidated. Here are some survival tips for new nurses:
Avoid signing up for overtime if you are still learning the ropes of the job. While the fat paycheck can be tempting, working long hours on your adjustment period will only leave you feeling drained and unaccomplished sometimes.
Take notes. Ask questions from experienced nurses and write down the answers so you will have a reference for different issues and concerns. Jot down everything that you think is essential for your learning process.
Make your voice heard. Don't let your newbie status stop you from voicing your concerns. Utilize appropriate channels, keep it professional, and be respectful so that people will listen to you despite being new in the office.
Surround yourself with positive influence. This includes pleasant team players and those who love their jobs in spite of all the challenges.

Being the historian I think I am, I've been trying to wrap my head around my own family history. I pretty much have a good idea of the Brown side, that's my father Louis' side; but my mother Ruby's side, the Barmore-Cullison side, still holds some mystery.
Mother was one of four sisters and her father, Ralph Lee Barmore, was one of 10 children born to Bertha Beryl and James Daniel; seven survived.
The Barmores homesteaded a ranch in Stevens County in the southwest part of Kansas bordering Oklahoma. The nearest town, Feterita, sat between Hugoton and Rolla and is no longer there. Great-grandfather Barmore was an auctioneer and would "Cry" a sale from his ranch, or travel to another location to sell off other people's farms and goods. They had lived is Waukomis, Okla., before they homesteaded their Kansas land.
Grandpa Ralph was always proud of the fact that he was born in Oklahoma Indian Territory in 1904. He was just 17 when he met my Grandma Mae Marie Cullison in Rolla and married her in 1922 in Richfield, Kan.
Mother, born in 1924, talked about how hard it was being a child of the Depression. They had very little to show for all their hard work but they were happy and they were part of a bigger family that looked after and took care of each other. She spoke of not having shoes to wear to school and of how embarrassed her sister, Donna, was when having to entertain classmates with powdered milk.
She would sing the songs her mother taught her, the songs the girls would sing together, they were sad songs like "Mother Put My Little Shoes Away" and "The Little Match Girl." They would tell of the children lost to dust pneumonia and it was sad. All they had was each other.
By the time the dust storms began, the Barmore clan had moved to northern Kansas and Missouri. The youngest, Bonnie Barmore Coen, moved back to Morton County and married Dale Boicourt Coen of Elkhart, Kan. Great Aunt Bonnie passed in 1996 but Dale Coen is still alive at 91 years of age and living in the same house they shared.
I thought that all my elders had passed away until I sat down to watch Ken Burn's "Dust Bowl" documentary on the PBS. To my surprise, there was Dale Coen and his twin brother, Floyd, being interviewed. "I think that's my Great Uncle!" I said to my husband, Dee.
A quick search for my mother's address book and there it was, the information I should have known anyway to confirm it. I quickly called and texted my cousins and siblings. We were all thrilled to see our family's past come to life. I had one remaining elder! I promptly called him the next day; I have a lot of questions for him. Questions I never ask my mom. He has photos to send me and more stories to tell. Thank you, Ken Burns.
When Mr. Burns and PBS were looking for stories I couldn't remember mother having told me anything about the "Dirty Thirties," only about the Depression and I thought that my family had nothing to offer this archive ... or so I thought.
Del and Bonnie Coen and their family survived the Dust Bowl, the drought, the grasshoppers, the rabbits and the Depression. I now have someone to help me fill in the blanks. I've been gathering the stories and the photos and the clippings so that I can put it all together for my family, my children and their children.
My mother started working as soon as she could. She didn't want to be poor anymore. She bought her mother and father things and never stopped. We were never "well off," but we were never without. She would tell us that we may not have a lot but never act like you are poor or uneducated. Be proud and use the brain God gave you. She still sang those sad songs from the Depression but she also sang the happy songs and whistled constantly while she worked.
I am what I like to call myself "a scrapper." I can make something out of nothing and need very little to keep me happy. I'm thrifty, proud and self-educated. I work hard and find treasure in the little things around me. I wonder where I get it?

PelicansReport.com Sim League
New Orleans Hornets General Manager
dude when can we see the prospects for next season's draft class? shouldn't that be available before the trade deadline? it will really help the non-playoff teams
HR Sim League - Washington Wizards
It would be really nice to know what they look like (ratings and what not) so that teams with multiple draft picks can leverage that against trading picks away.
People's Basketball Sim League presents...
1995-96 Season
C Kevin Willis | PF Brian Grant | SF Jalen Rose | SG Michael Finley | PG Terrell Brandon
Key Reserves: Dikembe Mutombo | Todd Day
Everyone welcome coltsguy510. He'll be taking control of the Orlando Magic.
Just trying to garner some pre deadline interest. Pryzbilla, House, and future picks are a package for a veteran starter quality C or PG. Donyell Marshall (great defender, rebounder, 3pt shooter) and Tony Delk (solid scorer and backup SG) are also both on the block. I understand that these players don't have great stats, but Delk hardly plays behind Jones and neither are scoring options or get many shots due to Webber shooting about 30 times a game. Let me know if anyone is interested.
I have to do it all in excel, and I'm not even sure it's going to work properly lol
Worst comes to worst I'll just go into the game and edit the created rookies into the real life draft prospects lol
Would anyone say the players in the game currently are unrealistic?
does it need to be an excel csv or what? excel is my expertise Lol
Well it's not mine, what's a csv? lol. Like I said though, I'm not even sure if that's the right way to go. I just figured it was because the players file that comes with the game is an excel document.
I tried to just download a already created draft class but couldn't figure it out. I just kept getting this weird file, I think the site that was linked may just be old and out of date.
I know someone who's run a league before, I may talk to him about how to go about doing the rookie draft classes.
CSV is a delimited file. do you want to send the weird file to me and see if i can format it correctly?
Sure. PM it to me. Also a screen shot or e mail of the standard format you have already would be good too.
Looking for Elite PF or C. Willing to package a combination of picks (2001 Nets and/or Bucks, future Picks available), and/or either of my 10/8 Centers. Maybe Bo Outlaw.
Hit ya back up.
Tag. lol
so can trades be made during the draft?
Since the index won't update correctly for free agents, for me at least; can we please put the names in the titles?
We can do protected picks correct?

Last edited by cutterbutter; 03-25-2011 at 11:36 AM.
Naw, I'm actually in UU, I just misread when I was entering all the card info. I'm fine with that, as I've sat in the back for the Pantages many times and the seats there are still good and the sound is usually killer. And, I've never seen a full MMJ set, so this should kill.
Neighbors again. Well thats good to hear about the theater. I mean, its a pretty small venue for it being all seats. I did pull up smth in row H all the way on the side, but it said obstructed view. I'm just glad I got a pair in the middle. It'll be my first time seeing them at all. Taking my younger brother who was the one who actually got me to listen to their stuff other then Z. I'm stoked.

I read somewhere that the charger cable is wired in specific and differing ways between 808/Jumbo camera models, so a battery pack for a 808 #16 doesn't work in a Jumbo (or 808 #11). It could be that, which means wasted money for you (but if it turns out you have a "808 #16" battery pack, I'd be interested). Cant remember where sorry but one ebay seller of these cameras sells chargers specific to each model Link Jumbo, Link #16.
Another possibility is that you may have to do a different key press sequence when recording while charging. GraemeL?
Somewhere here may be your answer
Try turning on the camera and start recording before connecting the external power.

Fernando Alonso says he's not fazed about his fifth place on the Barcelona grid as it's on Sundays that Ferrari often shine.
Despite showing pace in the practice sessions, Alonso and his team-mate Felipe Massa were not able to carry that through into Saturday's qualifying.
The duo finished fifth and sixth on the timesheets, half a second behind pole sitter Nico Rosberg.
"I think this is the maximum of what we have at the moment in our hands," said Alonso, who edged his team-mate by 0.001s.
"We cannot compete today with Mercedes again for qualifying, it's their third consecutive pole position."
The double World Champion, who won his home race back in 2006 with Renault, added that he expects better come Sunday's grand prix as long distance pace has proven to be Ferrari's strong point.
"We know that the race pace is maybe a little bit better for us, so we need to wait for our opportunities tomorrow.
"We need to have a clean start, a good first lap, and then a good strategy, because tyre degradation will again be very high, and so important, so we need to be on top of that problem.
"I feel confident. The car felt good yesterday, I felt competitive.
"Historically Sunday has been our best day of the weekend, so no reasons not to be on the podium tomorrow.
"But we want to be something more than just on the podium, so we'll see what we can do."

GRAND JUNCTION, Colo. - The days of deep-fried, breaded meat products, deep-fried tater tots and canned fruit in sugary syrup are finally a thing of the past.Schools in Mesa County are changing their lunch menu to reflect new standards aimed at improving nutrition and reducing childhood obesity. Processed foods are out, and fresh fruits and vegetables, and meals made from scratch are in.Obesity has almost tripled among children and adolescents over the past three decades, resulting in 17 percent of children in the United States, ages 2-19, who are obese, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.Changes in the Mesa County Valley School District 51 lunch program are also intended to teach kids good life-long habits so they will feel better physically and mentally, and do better in school.Fresh fruit, whole grains and unprocessed foods are the new norm. For example, Monday at Chipeta Elementary, the lunch tray included fresh-made corn and black-bean salsa, a cheese quesadilla on a whole-wheat tortilla, a cup of tomato soup made from scratch, and a fresh fruit salad. Last year, the district introduced kids to a few new recipes. "We wanted to phase it in," Dan Sharp, director of nutrition services, said.Diana Tarasiewicz is the manager of District 51 nutrition services - a new position where Tarasiewicz will continually develop recipes, teach staff to cook from scratch, and develop standards so recipes are interpreted correctly at each of the 37 district schools."We had to meet regulations, and we couldn't just send recipes to staff and expect them to know how to do it," Sharp said. Plus, when asked to follow a recipe, there was too much variation amongst kitchen employees who were accustomed to simply opening a cardboard box and placing items on a tray. "We needed someone to teach our employees those culinary skills as we progress toward the scratch model," Sharp said.Tarasiewicz is testing recipes, many from the U.S. Department of Agriculture food and nutrition service website. She's scaling recipes for correct proportions and providing a little taste adjustment when necessary."I'm enhancing flavors without adding sodium, by using herbs (and) seasonings," Tarasiewicz said. For example, the tomato soup at Chipeta tasted a little bland before it was served, so Tarasiewicz "added a little milk, garlic, a touch of sugar, and a small amount of butter.""It made a world of difference," Tarasiewicz said. "I will test things, create new recipes, and will take kids' tastes into consideration."Recipes are reviewed by Vanessa Carter, the district's nutrition services dietitian, to ensure foods are compliant with the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010. The legislation allows the USDA - responsible for the National School Lunch Program and the School Breakfast Program - to make real reforms for the first time in 30 years.Carter will help in evaluating the menu for the 2012-13 school year to ensure improvements meet the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act guidelines for lower sodium content, no trans-fats, lower saturated fats, and increased portions of whole grains, fruits and vegetables.
Tarasiewicz's job will eventually include teaching not only staff, but also students about healthy meals. "Our primary goal now is to fix recipes. Once that's complete I see Diana being part of the education team in the classroom," Sharp said. "We'll be forming a health and wellness committee to serve an advisory role to nutrition services and education in the classroom.In the process, parents may become educated as well."A lot of kids don't recognize some of the fruits and vegetables - grapes, kiwi even melon. A lot of kids have never eaten cantaloupe."Canned fruit hasn't totally disappeared from lunch plates - although kids are encouraged to choose fresh over canned.There are still some canned fruits with light or no syrup in the warehouse, but "once it's gone, it's gone," Tarasiewicz said. District 51 is taking healthy foods a step further by also adding locally grown fruits to the menu.School lunches now feature melons from Hatch Haven in Loma, and gala apples from Bolton's Orchard in Grand Junction. "We want to source as much local (foods) as we possibly can," Tarasiewicz said. "We'll be reaching out to more local farmers for next year."Low-fat 1-percent milk, served with each meal, comes from an Austin, Colo., dairy farm. "We'd eventually like a partnership with a year-round nursery who could grow veggies for us," Sharp said. "And we're working on meat products."Other changes include pizza made with whole-grain pizza dough and turkey pepperoni - lower than pork in salt and fat. Beef hot dogs, instead of pork, are offered for the same reason.Schools are also looking at possibly rescheduling recess before lunch, to encourage kids to take their time and eat their food."It does affect student achievement," Sharp said. "The more a student has consumed the full balance of a meal, the more alert that student will stay in the afternoon. Studies show (nutrition) can impact CSAP, student achievement."Last school year, roughly 50 percent of District 51 students purchased school lunches. Nutrition Services would like to see that number increase."Our main competition is the microwave," Sharp said.Many children bring Ramen noodles, instant cup of noodles, or macaroni and cheese to school and heat it in the microwave oven provided in the school lunchroom. "A lot of parents don't know that Ramen noodles are deep fried to start," Tarasiewicz said. "They're not only high in sodium but they're deep-fried."Kids need more protein than what those instant meals provide, Sharp and Tarasiewicz said."A carbohydrate-heavy meal will cause kids to crash an hour later," Tarasiewicz said. On the other hand, "if they eat their entire (school) lunch meal they will have sustained energy to get through the afternoon."
Tarasiewicz has always been into good food.She owned DMT Catering for 14 years, and at the same time taught chefs at Western Colorado Community College for 12 years. "I'm a huge foodie," Tarasiewicz said. "I grew up with a full garden in France. We had chickens and ducks. We ate from the land. People have lost touch with that unfortunately. Eating locally is best. The flavor is so incredible. That's why we want to enlist local farms, orchards," in school lunch programs. Since Tarasiewicz started four weeks ago, she's found that kitchen employees are excited to have help with the changes. "The need was there," Sharp said. "There was a gap in training with culinary skills. We addressed that with Diana's hiring. It's been a relief on everyone's part." Carol Funk is the kitchen manager at Chipeta Elementary. When she started working for the district in the '80s, everything was scratch cooking, she said. The fast food industry drove schools to change their fare, she added."We're going back to what we used to do, only healthier," she said. "I think this is fantastic. It's more work, but no one seems to mind."District 51 Nutrition Services is an enterprise-zone fund, and is funded separately from the district's general fund budget. The department is self-sufficient, and it operates at a "break-even status," Sharp said. Tarasiewicz's new position was made possible after a restructuring of his department, he said. In conjunction with LiveWell Colorado, Tarasiewicz will conduct a culinary workshop Oct. 25-26 for each of the schools' kitchen managers to teach knife skills, recipe scaling and how to process vegetables.Once everyone is trained to cook from scratch, Tarasiewicz's job won't end. She's been tasked to continue developing tasty, healthy, kid-friendly recipes, and she will supervise the district's 37 school kitchens along with another manager, Ann Ahern.

Nelson Takkiruq
Canadian, 1930–1999
Double Shaman Drum Dancer, 1989
whale bone, stone
25.2 x 31.5 x 12.5 cm
Collection of the Winnipeg Art Gallery; Gift of Dr. Harry Winrob
2006-616.1 to 3
Takkiruq is a member of a family of talented sculptors that includes brothers Judas Ullulaq, Charlie Ugyuk, Joata Suqslak, and Stephen Aqqaq. He began creating small carvings in the early 1950s at the prompting of Oblate missionary Father Henry. When a government craft shop was opened in Gjoa Haven in the early 1970s, Takkiruq began carving on an ongoing basis. He used aged whale bone for this expressive drum dancer, which displays a face on each side. In pre-Christian times, the Inuit shaman would often begin a camp seance with a trance-inducing drum dance. More secular purposes are now in effect as drum dancing is a popular form of entertainment in Gjoa Haven today.

HTC One X+ and HTC One VX Arrive at AT&T Nov. 16
Quick Reply
ATT today announced the availability and pricing for the HTC One X+ and the HTC VL Android smartphones. Available in ATT stores and online beginning Nov. 16 for $199.99 with a two-year agreement, customers can also pre-order the HTC One X+ beginning Nov. 13 at
Additionally, ATT announced the HTC One VX, an affordable Android smartphone that offers a premium mobile experience, will be available in-store Nov. 16 for $49.99 with a two-year agreement.
Here's more info on these upcoming HTC phones:
HTC One X+
The HTC One X+ will be the first smartphone to combine Android 4.1 (Jelly Bean) with the 1.7 GHz NVIDIA Tegra 3 '4-PLUS-1' quad-core processor with a battery saving fifth core. The HTC One X+ will also be the first smartphone in the U.S. to feature performance improvements and benefits of HTC Sense 4+. Continuing with the iconic HTC One X design, this powerhouse now comes in an exclusive Carbon Black finish and adds increased performance, longer battery life and 64 GB of internal storage.
Improved battery life comes from a larger 2100 mAh battery and the smartphone's ability to allow the four cores to operate in the most efficient way possible with each core independently and automatically enabled and disabled based on workload. The single battery-saver fifth core (or companion core) handles low-power tasks like active standby, email, browsing, music and video. Intelligent Power Saver settings further optimize battery life, giving you all the power you need, when you need it.
The HTC One X+ has a 4.7-inch, 720p HD screen and builds on the camera of the HTC One X. It has a superfast auto-focus and integrates the HTC ImageChip which reduces noise, removes color bias and enhances the overall picture quality. The 64 GB of internal memory is non-partitioned to store more high quality photos, video, music, movies and apps however the user wants.
The HTC One series set the standard for imaging with HTC VideoPic (the ability to take still photos and shoot videos at the same time), one-press Continuous Shooting and better quality images in low light environments. The HTC One X+ combines the outstanding camera capabilities of its predecessor with a series of intelligent features powered by HTC Sense 4+. The new Auto Portrait mode on the front camera helps you capture high quality photos by detecting the human face at various angles. Sightseeing mode makes it easier to capture the moment, as only one touch of the power button bypasses the lock screen and launches directly into camera mode. Additionally, two new ways to view photos and videos in the gallery allow you to display albums according to when or where they were taken.
For more information, please visit
HTC One VX
Exclusive to AT&T, the HTC One VX sports one of the slimmest unibody form factors in the industry at just 9.19 millimeters thin, making it easy to hold and navigate at a size that fits easily in anyone's hand. The stylish new smartphone comes in a crisp white color finish with silver accents and features a 4.5-inch qHD display protected with scratch-resistant Corning Gorilla Glass which aids in durability and reduces light reflection.
Featuring advanced imaging capabilities, the HTC One VX includes a 1080p HD video recorder and 5-megapixel camera with HTC ImageSense(TM), improving every part of the camera and integrating HTC ImageChip. Within seconds, customers can launch the camera from the lock screen and enjoy one-press continuous shooting at four frames per second. The One VX also features HTC VideoPic. The HTC One VX is NFC-ready for the seamless, wireless sharing of playlists, Web sites, contacts and more with other NFC-enabled devices.
The HTC One VX runs HTC Sense 4 with Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich). In the future, the original HTC One X and HTC One VX are planned to be upgraded to HTC Sense 4+ with Android 4.1 (Jelly Bean), which will include the improved camera capabilities and new Tap and Go function currently available on the HTC One X+, which allows customers to connect the phone and music to Beats speakers' when tapped them together. The HTC One VX comes equipped with a microSD card slot for up to 32 GB of additional storage space.

Jan 11 - More than 1 billion mobile phone users will be using their mobile devices for banking purposes by the end of 2017, compared to just over 590 million this year, according to the latest report from Juniper Research.
The report titled Mobile Banking: Handset and Tablet Market Strategies 2013-2017 says that by 2017 more than 15 percent of the global mobile subscriber base will be using handsets for banking purposes, but it does acknowledge that around half of all mobile subscribers will still remain unbanked, with limited access to traditional financial services. Schemes such M-Pesa in Kenya and microfinance initiatives which often use the mobile channel can, however, help in this regard.
The Juniper Research report finds that many consumers are already seeing the convenience benefits of accessing banking services on their mobile phones via secure banking apps and portals in the developed world. Most banks now have at least one mobile banking offering, says Juniper, either via messaging, mobile browser or an app-based service. Yet a number of the larger global banks are now confidently deploying two or more of these technologies together, particularly where there is significant smartphone and tablet penetration in western markets.
From the banks perspective the triple play platform is advantageous as it avoids them having to switch suppliers for different approaches, as well as maximizing client reach, said report author Nitin Bhas. While messaging remains highly popular and relevant in the financial sector, apps will be the dominant access mode in developed markets with banks reporting an increased number of visits per month on their mobile apps.
The report looks at the relative proportion of mobile banking users accessing information services (push factors) and transactional banking services (pull) factors. Other key findings include:

Zero-To-Hero Style 4e?
I understand that style of play isn't to everyone's liking, but I always sort of liked the option of putting the hero's journey in those terms. If you want to give it a whirl with 4th Edition, Fred Hicks (co-creator of FATE and Spirit of the Century, among other cool things) has written up a system for 3 "pre-levels" to level 1 that make for more of a gradual build-up to the power of first level.
If that's too gradual an increase for you, A Butterfly Dreaming pitched an idea along the same lines a few days ago. Again, if it isn't your style, I understand, but I think they're both pretty cool ideas for that sort of play. What do you think?
16 comments:
- Wyatt said...
I like the proposal on Butterfly quite a bit.
The proposal on Zero Hour strikes me as boring overkill.
See, I don't care about a specific system for zero-to-hero gaming because I don't think level 1 PCs necessarily have to be "zeroes" to be weak. I think it's as much attitude and tone of the game as it is "you are made of paper, here's some scissors, go fight that monster." Just because level 1 PCs have 25 hp and 4 powers doesn't HAVE TO mean they're hyper-competent rockstars. That depends on the rest of the world they're in.
You can simulate having weaker PCs of less worth to the world by not using the same standard encounters all the time. Level 1 PCs can kill level 2-3 critters – but it's hard and they'll take some punishment. Now if everything's a level or two ahead of them, who's so superior now?
However, the proposal on Dreaming seems simple and interesting, whereas the other one is, in my opinion, too messy. The proposal to make PCs HP Con Score -2 at the lowest level strikes me as hilariously bad. You'd basically be a minion.

I continue to be baffled why anyone would want to try and retro-fit old school play onto 4e. The game is not designed to be played that way and anyone who's really interested in that style already has tons of games he can use to do so. I have no use for 4e myself, but, if I did, it wouldn't be to try and emulate things that earlier games already do and do better.
- March 5, 2009 at 9:18 AM
- Zachary The First said...
I guess I can chalk up two early "no" votes, then! :)
@Wyatt: I get what you're saying, but I think part of it comes from not wanting your farmboy to know Spinning Golden Dragon Kick right out the gate. Scaling enemy encounters doesn't really address that, and sometimes that doesn't fit with what some folks want their earlier session to look like. Again, it's just a style of gaming, wrong for some, right for others.
@James: Ask Clark Peterson. :)
Thanks for the comments, guys!
- March 5, 2009 at 9:32 AM
- Wyatt said...
None of your attacks at 1st level have to be a spinning dragon kick.
They can just be "I hit it with my sword. It falls down."
For a Paladin "I hit it with my sword, which is glowing a bit."
Spinning Dragon Kick is descriptive text. You don't have to be over-the-top hyperweeaboo for any of the attacks unless you want to. Most of the powers can be as dry as "I hit it with my sword but a whole lot harder than before" if that's what you want.
- March 5, 2009 at 9:37 AM
- Zachary The First said...
Understood, but again, I think the entire starting level power evaluation goes beyond that. You could also argue that what you've described isn't really encouraged by the rules presentation.
- March 5, 2009 at 9:42 AM
- Wyatt said...
It isn't encouraged, but if you really feel like playing 4e to be a weakling, there's much easier places to start with that mindset than by creating negative levels and 8 hp characters.
- March 5, 2009 at 10:36 AM
- Gleichman said...
Interesting that this would break out into a debate. Such is the power of D&D and 4th edition.
I woudl think a single level 0 addition that lacks any class features would be the easy solution. They get only that common to all classes and nothing more, with the lowest Hit Die, etc.
One level at that should be more than enough to represent the genre convention and try the patience of the players.
But really, they should be player Age of Heroes instead :)
- March 5, 2009 at 11:17 AM
- Dominic said...
Not to sound like a jerk or a Pro-4E Wizards clone or anything, but... really? Is this necessary? 4E already has 30 levels, do you really need to add 3 more to make the PC's weaker?
In my observation, most of the people on the interwebs pushing old school games and ideals are DM's. Now, maybe this is the nature of the industry (the people who blog about it are more likely to be DM's) but I don't really see very many players volunteering. They play what they can find, or just go along with their DM because they like the group they are in.
I mean, how many players are going to be like, "You know, I like fourth edition, but I think I started out TOO STRONG. Let's go back 3 levels and start out as weak farmer boys who can get killed by the neighborhood bully, ok?"
For plot purposes, maybe it could happen. But I doubt my players would be champing at the bit to get to that.
- March 5, 2009 at 11:29 AM
- Zachary The First said...
Eh, it's all fun stuff. Wyatt and I have pretty different things we want out of our gaming at times, I think, but I like hearing what he has to say.
I do think it's interesting that we see some of the same with this that we do with Necromancer wanting to do a "Classic 4e"--any time you discuss merging older styles of game play with that of 4e, you tend to get it a little from both sides. I'd say this is pretty mild in comparison (except for the email I just received), but it does show that's there's plenty of folks on both sides who have no use for their chocolate and peanut butter to mix, as it were.
- March 5, 2009 at 11:31 AM
- Zachary The First said...
@Dominic: No, no worries. You may be right. There may not be a lot of demand for it with 4e players. I suspect that among those who've championed or play 4e, you'd largely be correct.
But it's just an option, after all. We got plenty of unnecessary stuff for 3e and earlier editions that maybe only a dozen people used. We're talking about a niche within a niche within a niche. It's just out there to talk about. If it isn't your cup of tea, no crisis of faith here.
Thanks for the post!

James, which version of D&D covered zero to hero?
None of them. 1st level characters may have sucked sometimes, but they weren't farmboys with no skills, they had a slew of weapons and armor training or already knew several spells, already had a suite of skills. That's why the 0-Level rules were invented in 2nd edition, to bring this type of play to D&D. To really pull it off has always required an extra system like those linked in the blog post or some good tweaking.
That said, I think Wyatt is right that it's about the game's tone. 4e characters at 1st level aren't any more powerful than previous editions, the numbers of the system are just different. Some mechanical aid is nice, too, but not necessary. I started a 0-level game or two in the 2e days and I created a 0-level system for 3e to start such a campaign.
- March 5, 2009 at 11:54 AM
- Fred Hicks (Evil Hat Productions) said...
Personally, I wouldn't do the zero to hero thing in my gaming anyway. If I want to make 1st level feel challenging, I do what I've always tended to do -- hit the PCs with encounters that are at least 3 or 4 levels above them.
- March 5, 2009 at 12:02 PM
- James Maliszewski said...
James, which version of D&D covered zero to hero?
You will note I said nothing about "zero to hero," which I think isn't an old school formulation at all. There's a reason a 1st-level OD&D Fighting Man is called a "Veteran," after all. I think you're correct that beginning D&D characters have always been more highly skilled than "normal men" and that's been the case since the three little brown books.
That said, the gulf between normal men and 1st-level characters has been widening with each new edition. As I see it, though, that's a feature, not a bug, of the modern editions of the game, so I find myself baffled as to why anyone would want to eliminate it through kludges like this. That was my only point.
- March 5, 2009 at 12:21 PM
- Thasmodious said...
Ah, I gotcha, sir. I misconstrued that you were equating zero to hero with old school play. My apologies.
- March 6, 2009 at 2:07 AM
- Wax Banks said...
Ironically (given my other predilections), I'm with the ol' Grognard on this one (to an extent) - and have gone on at tremendous length here as to why. Shorter version: a system built for adjudicating heroic fantasy can't handle 'zero to hero' any more than a game about bickering gods can adjudicate a divorce proceeding. Which is fine, because you don't actually want to play a zero - you just want the feeling of contrast, the disparity between what your guy can do in the world and what the world can do to him. There's a reason no one actually wants to roleplay Frodo Baggins.
The disparity is easily achieved using existing mechanics, and 4e is built to make the DM's work much much much much much easier in that regard. Which is where Maliszewski and I part company - his game design credentials notwithstanding, I think his parochialism about the way 4e is 'designed to be played' has nothing to do with the system and everything to do with fanciful (in Coleridge's sense) attachment. Not to ad all over everyone's hominem or anything.
- March 8, 2009 at 8:45 PM
- Nathaniel said...
I also created a 0-level system for 4e that you can see on my blog at enworld.
I take a different approach to the system.

I would be happy with Chris Carraba doing "The Moon is Down" but I think reunions like Texas is the Reason and Jawbreaker are more on par with Coachella.
Youre probably right about TitR...hopefully I'll snag a couple on Friday when the go on sale for DC.
I could die happy if I ever got to see Jawbreaker play live.

You can't fight a war unless you can deliver the manpower and equipment. A LOT of manpower and equipment, and that's where these awesome machines come in.
- The ultimate celebration and investigation of engineering excellence.
- Learn the incredible capabilities of the Osprey, the Chinook and "RO-RO" ships.
- For over a decade, MODERN MARVELS has brought grand stories to life.
Celebrating ingenuity, invention and imagination brought to life on a grand scale, MODERN MARVELS® tells the fascinating stories of the doers, dreamers and sometime-schemers who created everyday items, technological breakthroughs and man-made wonders.
Actual combat is a small component of a military campaign. Wars are won and lost on the supply line. And that's where the fabulous machines profiled in MORE MILITARY MOVERS come in. In this MODERN MARVELS® learn the background, the capabilities, the capacities, and ideal deployments of these critical transports in the armed forces lineup.
The CV-22 Osprey is designed to combine the best qualities of a helicopter with the best qualities of a fixed-wing aircraft. For all of its ingenuity and promise, the Osprey has had a tumultuous development period. These troubles will be examined as Osprey advocates explain how the aircraft's shortcomings have been worked out. Discover how this hybrid aircraft has overcome controversy to become mission-ready.
Take a good, long look at the Boeing CH-47, the venerable Chinook helicopter that first took flight in 1961. Over four decades later, this versatile, twin engine, tandem rotor, heavy lift copter remains a major military workhorse. Today's model Chinook has a stunning maximum payload of 24,000 pounds and a top speed of 180 mph.
Also spotlighted are LMSRs, which are some of the largest non-combatant ships in the military. Reaching nearly a thousand feet in length, they are capable of carrying an entire U.S. Army task force. The so-called "RO-RO"s (Roll-on/Roll-off), adapted from civilian commercial applications, can offload a stunning amount of ordnance in just hours.
It's nice to know the enemy is never really out of reach.

Click above for hi-res gallery of the HUMMER H3TIf HUMMER had a theme song, it'd probably be the Allman Brothers' Whipping Post -- the one that goes "Sometimes I feel, sometimes I feel, like I been tied to the whipping post..." The brand has been the go-to effigy when something needs to burn on the altar of eco desecration. But HUMMER doesn't have a theme song, it has the tagline "Like No Other." It also has a new pick-em-up truck we had the chance to drive recently in the High Sierras: the H3T. Follow the jump to find out if it's another HUMMER like no other, and check out the gallery of...
