Especially since I've been getting help from the "other side," which has been much appreciated.
To recap:
- Someone purchased the "old dominion blog alliance" -dot- com domain last week on the 16th, and set it up to redirect to a vile site which promotes pedophilia. Ben Tribbet (or is it "Tribbit"? I forget...), of Not Larry Sabato (not linking to him, because you already know I don't think much of his character), tipped Whackette to this, and she posted it over at the Daily Whackjob. Ben then posted his little snippet, with the obligatory-but-flip "I'm shocked! Shocked, I tell you!!" with a hat tip back to Whackette.
- The identity of the domain owner is not on the public record - in other words, we don't know who did this. Yet.
- I e-mailed Whackjob yesterday morning when the ODBA found out about this. I asked him if he knew who was responsible to please tell them to lay off: I would be less upset if the redirect were to an ADULT pr0n site which didn't attempt to take advantage of children. He very kindly e-mailed me back right away with the information in the first point, above, and offered several suggestions as to how I could find out who was responsible for this vile "prank." He was extremely helpful and supportive, and I'm not surprised at his irritation at some of the attacks on the crew at DWJ.
- The ODBA has sent in a letter to GoDaddy/Domains By Proxy, and we are waiting for their reply.
Those are the FACTS as we know them, and Riley and Ward probably have the most neutral write-ups (for which I thank them). Greg at Black Velvet Bruce Li also posted; he had some incorrect information, but immediately updated when I corrected him. Leslie Carbone only posted a gracious biblical reminder... And I think I will add another, to pass on to Kilo:
Let no corrupt word proceed out of your mouth, but what is good for necessary edification, that it may impart grace to the hearers. And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, clamor, and evil speaking be put away from you, with all malice. And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God in Christ forgave you. (Ephesians 4:29-32, NKJV)
I understand his disgust and anger with this situation - I share it! - but I think he's being hasty and unnecessarily combative. I've told him that. I also think he - and others - are going to call me an apologist for "the lying low-down liberals." OK, that's fine: however, just because I try not to use the same tactics, and prefer to remain cordial with people on the "other side," does not make me a patsy.
Whackjob has posted that he thinks the ODBA has a grudge against Ben, and I would concede the point to a certain extent. I would hope, however, that my Virginian blog-siblings would not let that drive them to descend to half-truths and innuendo. Whackette posted this morning, stating categorically that she had nothing to do with setting up the domain. While I don't think she was as wise as she could have been in her original post, I have no reason to believe that her involvement - or that of her husband - goes any further. Perhaps, as Whackjob amended his post to reflect, we will all be far more wary of any "tips" Ben hands out in the future.
I freely confess that I *DO* want to find out that one certain person is behind this, but I'm not going to sacrifice the truth to my petty desire for "revenge." Frankly, it's not worth the huge helping of crow I'd have to eat if I'm wrong. Therefore, I'm going to wait until we get solid information from GoDaddy, to start making accusations and demanding retractions and apologies.
On a side note, I purchased the olddominionblogalliance.net and olddominionblogalliance.org domains yesterday, and pointed them to the ODBA Tumblr aggregator (I would be willing to take over the -dot- com which is currently the center of the issue and point it to Tumblr as well). It was not difficult to do, and as I stated at BVBL, "lacks the technical skills necessary" is a pretty weak defense.
So, we will see what we will see - and remember: the Truth always prevails, even when it takes some time, and even when we don't see it.

Unity game engine now free for indie Android and iOS developers, BB10 and WP coming soon
Gaming could be about to make a jump on Android and iOS, because the Unity game engine just became completely free for indie developers. The news came from Unity CEO David Helgason speaking at the company's Unite Nordic conference in Malmo, saying the engine is now free for indie devs on Android and iOS, with the same deal coming to BB10 and Windows Phone "in the coming months".
Previously, the game engine had cost upwards of $800 for mobile developers, even though the company had made the desktop tools free to use back in 2009. Of course, this only applies to smaller developers. Companies that have "a turnover in excess of $100,000 in their previous fiscal year are required to use our paid version."
And, for those developers who had purchased the Android or iOS add-ons in the past 30 days, the company will be in contact to offer "discounts on future purchases". So unfortunately, no one is getting a refund.

State House Tax Policy Committee Hears Testimony on Homestead Exemption for Foreclosed Property
On Wednesday, the state House Committee on Tax Policy took testimony on HB 4135, sponsored by Rep. Frank Foster, R-Petoskey, which would allow financial institutions to realize the full benefit of the principal residence exemption, or "homestead exemption," on foreclosed properties.
Current law as enacted last year, allows financial institutions to file the appropriate paperwork to technically retain the exemption so that future buyers will not have any disruption or additional cost, but still requires payment by the institution of the additional non-homestead amounts through a different statutory route. Rep. Foster's legislation would eliminate the requirement to pay the additional non-homestead mills.
MCUL & Affiliates testified in support of the legislation, joined by officials from MSUFCU and E&A CU. The legislation was also supported by the Michigan Association of Realtors and the Michigan Bankers Association, but saw opposition from the state Department of Treasury.
"This legislation would provide actual relief to credit unions that are forced to foreclose, despite their best efforts to keep the borrower in their home." MCUL CEO David Adams said. "The additional mills from the non-homestead rate represent conditional revenue, based on our members' decision whether or not to foreclose, and eliminating this requirement doesn't reduce the amount that would normally be due to the state under the homestead rate.
"This bill will reduce the costs associated with an unfortunate circumstance for borrower and lender alike, and will benefit surrounding communities by providing more flexibility to restore homes and get them back to productive use quickly."

A suspension bridge suspends the path from main cables or ropes, which extend from one end of the bridge to the other. These cables rest on top of high towers and have to be securely anchored into the bank at either end of the bridge.
The towers enable the main cables to be draped over long distances. Most of the weight or load of the bridge is transferred by the cables to the anchorage systems. These are imbedded in either solid rock or huge concrete blocks.
Capilano Suspension Bridgehttp://www.capbridge.com
Cable Stayed Pedestrian Bridges will also be accepted in this category. In the cable-stayed bridge, the towers form the primary load-bearing structure. A cantilever approach is often used for support of the bridge deck near the towers, but areas further from them are supported by cables running directly to the towers. This has the disadvantage, compared to the suspension bridge, of the cables pulling to the sides as opposed to directly up, requiring the bridge deck to be stronger to resist the resulting horizontal compression loads; but has the advantage of not requiring firm anchorages to resist a horizontal pull of the cables, as in the suspension bridge. All static horizontal forces are balanced so that the supporting tower does not tend to tilt or slide, needing only to resist such forces from the live loads.
Cable-stayed bridge, fan design example
We will accept any pedestrian (foot) suspension type bridge as a new waypoint. No traffic (vehicle) bridges please.

Updated: September 21, 2012 5:55PM
What's the key for Team USA when it takes on the Europeans for the Ryder Cup at Medinah on Sept. 28-30?
Everything flows from team unity, said Paul Azinger, captain of the 2008 U.S. team, the only one to win a Ryder Cup since 1999.
''The Americans have to become a team in four days,'' Azinger told the Sun-Times. ''The Europeans have been a team their entire lives.''
Even though the U.S. team is from one nation, Europe's conglomeration of different nationalities sets it up for the smaller bonding groups that are critical, Azinger said, explaining the secret to his success as captain in 2008.
''The Irishmen, they're representing Ireland,'' said Azinger, who's now an ESPN analyst. ''They're engaged and invested in each other. We're not the Floridians and the Texans. We're Americans. They already have small groups in place. The Irish will play together. The English. The Spaniards.''
That unity has helped the Euros win six of the last eight Ryder Cups, including four of the last five.
''We often show up with the better players at this match,'' Azinger said. ''We're rarely the better team.''
While pondering that challenge before the 2008 matches, Azinger ran across a documentary on TV in which a Navy SEALs officer explained that small groups were the key to their elite training. Inspired, Azinger turned his 12-man team into groups of four.
That point of emphasis translated into a 161/2 to 111/2 American victory at Valhalla.
''Twelve guys cannot bond in four days,'' he said. ''But small groups of four can get engaged and invested in each other, if they buy into it, [saying], 'How can I make the other guys in my group better?' ''
The Europeans do it naturally. This year's U.S. captain, Davis Love III, often speaks about team-building in the same light that Azinger put it.
''Davis is doing his own thing,'' Azinger said. ''He's extremely thorough, very bright and has surrounded himself with good people. My advice to him was to figure out the best way possible to get the players invested in each other.''
As the host captain, Love has ordered up a Medinah that takes advantage of his long-hitting team, with manageable rough to go with some enticing risk-reward opportunities.
''Davis has it set up so that it's going to be a birdie-fest,'' Azinger said. ''It's going to be high energy. I anticipate an epic Ryder Cup.''
That's because both teams are brimming with talent. Love will have a revived Tiger Woods, three second-time Ryder Cup participants — Dustin Johnson, Matt Kuchar and Bubba Watson — with singular skills and four rookies, notably Keegan Bradley and Jason Dufner, who have proven toughness.
That said, European captain Jose Maria Olazabal, who paired famously with the late Seve Ballesteros in Ryder Cup play, is bringing a formidable team to Medinah. The hot hand, of course, is Rory McIlroy, who has added two September wins to his PGA Championship at Kiawah in early August. The blind-pairing rules of the Ryder Cup make matchups a crap shoot, but McIlroy already has said he'd relish the opportunity to go head-to-head with Woods.
''I don't dislike Tiger in anything, but right now, I like Rory in everything,'' Azinger said. ''But that can work both ways. Rory may go in with an everything-to-gain-and-nothing-to-lose attitude. Sometimes that's not good. I'd rather have somebody saying, 'I've got everything to lose if I don't play well.' ''
Given the enormous focus on the Ryder Cup, reputations will be enhanced or tarnished at Medinah.
''I just think it's really cool that Europe is marching in here with a juggernaut and the U.S. is matching up with them,'' Azinger said. ''The Ryder Cup has turned into a fierce competition, and there's [going to be] blood here.''

When using a SIRT Training Product one can easily integrate the fine motor skills needed in shooting while performing cardio/strength training workouts. Integration of the two makes for good time management while training fundamental shooting skills such as trigger control, strong hand only manipulation, draws, reloads, shifting sight awareness from close to far targets, etc. Working fine motor skills while the heart rate is elevated trains our bodies to perform under physical stress. Training can be as simple as setting a countdown timer on intervals and every 2 min grab the training pistol/rifle and tag 3 sets of targets. A target can be as simple as the clock or light switch.
These guys are breaking new ground in integrated skillset cardio work. Cardio work can take many forms and can incorporate many movements beyond than good ol' running or walking on the incline. Check out this Tabata circuit (see http://www.intervaltraining.net/tabata.html for more info on this interval based circuit), it is great but take note of the Poul Ups at 2:00.
This video shows working some AM cardio with a SIRT Pistol. You don't necessarily need a gym to do some of these movements. It is important to remember that a fitness regimen needs to be complete, this video is focused on cardio. An example of a pure focused power and strenth training is shown here.
See the other tactical fitness videos such as the integrated pistocraft-cardio video the integrated pistocraft-cardio training post by the American Heros Champion SWAT Team. If you are a CrossFit fanatic, check out the pistolcraft skills integrated in a CrossFit workout. Stay tuned and take a look at the tactical fitness training modules for other training modules that integrate pistolcraft with strength, cardio and physical training.
Poul Ups are one of the first pure strength movements that can be properly combined with fine motor skill movements and body control with pistolcraft. Poul Christensen of Denmark came up with this concept and it is nothing short of brilliant. The movement is a derivative of horizontal pull-ups but with one hand and torqueing the body to an upward stable position while breaking a shot. Poul is former Danish Military and distributing the SIRT and providing training with his business partner Lars Hagemann in Europe.
Although this movement requires a great deal of strength, the fine motor movements require exceptional trigger control. The sight will not stay very steady as the body gets tired. Therefore the shooter has to execute solid trigger mechanics to break the shot as sight picture becomes acceptable. Generally sight picture is only acceptable for a short window so we have to break the shot on demand and not disturb the muzzle (or sufer a miss!).
Steve Gowin and Brian Pacey pioneered training with SIRT Pistols to get more out of their Crossfit type workouts. Another benefit of this training is that they have to break up there rhythm and draw the SIRT. In one form, a trainer calls out targets for them to identify in sequence. It is not as easy at it looks.
This video introduces the "cage" where we are forced to stay low while doing drills. The cage mandates that we stay low and not creep up. Getting low and being comfortable in a crouch is a 1000 mile journey. Staying low requires leg strength, hip mobility and balance. All of these skill sets are not something that can be mastered in a training session, a week or even a year.
"I ain't going to lie to you, it sucks."
Its a 1000 mile journey but getting lower has numerous benefits. A "Cage" will force us to stay low while doing drills.
In this drill Thomas and I are getting a lot of reps in and we have to stay low when we slam into position. You can test this yourself and see if you get stable more quickly when you come into position low.

I realize that it isn't over yet, and it may be a little earlier than we normally start reflecting and reviewing, but 2011 has been an interesting year. The recession has affected nearly everyone—money's tight, there's an overbearing sense of gloom-and-doom, and gas prices are high. And still, if the earliest numbers of this holiday shopping season are any indication, we aren't planning on letting a little economic hardship spoil the season. Black Friday spending was strong, at brick-and-mortar outlets as well as online.
Nevertheless, when we look back on 2011, one strange phenomenon might become crystal clear in hindsight—and it has to do with this year's batch of movies.
2011, so far, has already broken several box-office records. (Unfortunately, they aren't attendance or revenue records.) 2011 will see 27 sequels released to theaters; that's the most ever released in a single year. Long-running franchises have also dominated the box-office, making 2011 a record-breaking year for "part fours" (with 5 films released) and "part fives" (also 5). There were two "part sevens"—"The Muppets" and "Rise of the Planet of the Apes." And we even had one "part eight," in "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 2."
The 27 sequels alone account for nearly one-fifth of the wide-releases this year, and that's before you begin factoring in all of the long-running franchises, Marvel Comic films, and instantly-familiar reboots. It would be easy to cast aspersions at Hollywood for failing to provide us with original content, but to do so would be to ignore the year's biggest blockbusters. Of the year's highest grossing films so far, numbers 1-6 have been sequels. "Thor" and "Captain America" came in at 7 and 8—both based on Marvel characters. Number 9, "Rise of the Planet of the Apes," was a reboot, of sorts. And number 10, "Bridesmaids," was the only original film on the year's list of moneymakers.
So really, who's to blame? One can deduce that about half of the films in wide-release were actually original properties, yet only one cracked the list of top-grossers. It would appear that the studios are actually trying to give us what we want, and what we want is familiarity. You may have heard that, after seeing the success of Transformers, Universal Studios have secured the rights to bring seven more Hasbro games—Candyland, Stretch Armstrong, Battleship, Magic: The Gathering, Monopoly, Clue, and Ouija—to the silver screen. (In recent months, the Monopoly, Clue and Ouija projects have been abandoned.) But, as absurd as "Candyland: The Movie" may sound, it's familiar. And it might do pretty well in today's atmosphere.
In reality, I think that the economic climate is really playing a role in the movies we're willing to spend our hard-earned entertainment budget on. And, given the choice between something that has a familiar ring—something similar to a movie we've seen and enjoyed—and a wholly-original feature, we're playing it safe and choosing the familiar.
The movie industry is not immune to the sort of technological woes that effectively crippled the music industry. Although, in my opinion, it was the music industry's failure to adapt to the changing technological landscape that led to its meltdown—and Hollywood seems to be trying to stay ahead of the ever-changing game, proactively seeking out ways to use technology to its benefit, certainly better than the record labels ever have. Last year, ticket sales in the U.S. and Canada topped $10.5 billion, and this year is on pace to gross a similar amount.
At this year's Sundance Festival, the major studios bought more than 40 films, so it appears that Hollywood is still willing to take a chance and think outside the blockbuster franchises. It'll be interesting to see if 2012 will continue following this year's trends, though I suspect the economy will continue to dictate the risks we're willing take in the ticket line.

I have always wanted to play an Indiana Jones game but never gotten a chance to, I missed out playing the Infernal Machine for the 64 and the PC and when the Emperor's Tomb came out for the PS2 my interest was distracted by other superior titles. However, now with GameFly, I am now able to experien...more

Judging Magic: Can You See the Sleight of Hand?
Framed: Women in Law and Film. By Orit Kamir. Durham: Duke University Press. 2006. Pp. xi, 283. $23.95.
Cultural critic bell hooks says, "Movies make magic. They change things. They take the real and make it into something else right before our very eyes." Movies do not, of course, have an exclusive hold on this ability to change one thing into something else. Law, too, possesses this power. Certainly, one must acknowledge some significant differences in the "magic" of filmic and legal texts. For the most part, as willing consumers of cultural products, we "choose" to subject ourselves to the magic of film. We sit in a darkened theater and let ourselves be taken away to a different place. Or, we sit in the darkness resisting the film's attempts at enchantment or provocation. Law, on the other hand, works its magic notwithstanding the resistance of its objectors. Through judicial and legislative pronouncements, law changes "the real," and declares that something once named thus shall henceforth be named otherwise. With the flick of a pen, transformation occurs before our eyes: the hiring of a white woman by an Asian man is a punishable offense; a First Nations woman marries a white man and is "an Indian" no more; women are "persons" capable of sitting in the Canadian senate; marriage is no longer an exclusively heterosexual institution.

I spoke not of Campana's woman
of Genova, who brought him seaweed
in her hair, and sea wind on her skin
your curls swung wet and whippy,
the surf took over your ankles
and knocky knees, your hair opened,
the tide calmed, and the farther you swam
the more you were sun-cuts on the sea
and I panicked to lose sight of you,
less than a dashed shadow disintegrating
into opaque radiance where sea and sky
shrink to a seam of life continuous
with our own. In your own good time
you brought back wind in your hair,
her hair, seaweed smelly, hot,
wind shot with salt and seaweed
dripping from that hair, as if
such disappearance and return
were your nature. When you flopped
on our fleecy blanket,
tart water seeds
popped from your hair.
I tasted them.

Loved this product way back when it was called Mauvebrown, and it is still a beautiful color. It's perfect for all of my nude, beige and light pink lipsticks and glosses.
Great color! I love the texture and staying power! Will definitely repurchase.
This is a lovely pinky/brownish color. Its works really well with my mac beige lipstick and glosses. I love it so far. The price a little high but I will probably repurchase. I really like it.
