All the way back in 1973, George Gilder published a book entitled Men and Marriage. He expanded and republished it in 1986. In his book, Gilder argued that our culture was marginalizing men, to its great peril. He articulated the critical role that marriage has in helping men focus their sexual energies in a creative and beneficial […] Read the rest of this entry »
There has been a tendency for traditional Catholics to hitch their wagons to the Republican Party specifically, and to conservative politics in general. It is demonstrably true that the stated platform of the Republican Party has been more aligned with Catholic teaching on a number of critical issues: abortion, religious liberty, the definition of marriage, […] Read the rest of this entry »

In the Gospel from last Sunday, the Lord warns of using uncivil and/or hateful words such as "Raqa" and "fool." And yet the same Lord Jesus often used very strong language toward some of His opponents, sometimes calling them names such as vipers and hypocrites.

In an age of many problematic trends in public education Catholics need to work harder to provide educational alternatives.
As we trend toward the end of January, Most dioceses sponsor some sort of "Catholic Schools Week" activities.

I don't know if this type of painting is even your style, but I like it up on my gallery wall, which you can see here:
Can't wait to see the new wall finished! You always come up with such pretty spaces.
I love it so much better. I recently did that to my sons room and it looks so much better now.ReplyDelete
Such a great change to update your room! It might be interesting to get some graphic fabric swatches to fill some of the frames. We have a Beacon Hill fabric (Circus in Tuscan) that would be a great conversation piece!ReplyDelete

Hi Danielle,ReplyDelete
I love these frames too. Recently, a client put one of my works in to the Odby frame and it really made the work sing.
As for the DIY's...I have a few on my site if you're interested...they are all art DIY's. Here is the link:
I LOVE IT, these are also my favorite frames and I have to keep myself from over-using them! The rounded corners and white/white is perfect. Improvement over what you had I think, well just a different view!ReplyDelete

on Role of the U.S. Trustee System
the Senate Judiciary Committee
In response to criticism, the United States Trustee program has sought to
improve its outreach to the constituent parts of the bankruptcy system. Jerry
Patchan and his staff deserve credit for their sincere efforts to improve the
In addressing the issues confronting the U.S. Trustee system, this committee
should keep ten (10) principles in mind:
First, somebody has to do the job. Someone has to appoint trustees, form
committees, check compensation requests, watch for fraud and incompetence and
perform the other tasks currently required of the U.S. Trustee.
Second, it is not an easy job. The U.S. Trustee is criticized for
micromanagement and lack of local autonomy and is then criticized for a lack of
uniformity in the system.
Third, it is easier to manage a small program, like the Bankruptcy
Administrator program, than a large one like the U.S. Trustee program.
Fourth, wherever Congress decides to put the program, there will be conflicts.
The realistic objective is to minimize conflicts.
Fifth, programs are administered by people. The program should allow for the
continuity of good people and provide the flexibility to get rid of mistakes.
Sixth, it doesn't matter if the program is in the Judiciary or the Executive,
the objective is to get people with judgment and let them exercise that
judgment at all levels of the system.
Seventh, good communicators are better than bad communicators. The EOUST has
revised the Chapter 13 Guidelines in response to suggestions by panel trustees.
Two-way communication of this sort is the only way to make the system work.
Eighth, even good people need adequate funding. However, excess paperwork and
rigidity waste money. Random spot checks are more effective than extensive
audits. Don't make the user fees so expensive that they will impede access to
the system by the parties the system is designed to protect.
Ninth, no system will work if you run off the private trustees.
Tenth, judges should judge and administrators should administrate. We don't
need another layer of judges called United States Trustees.
Statement of Henry E. Hildebrand, III, Chapter 13 Trustee
The U.S. Trustee program, originally established as a small administrative
program to facilitate bankruptcy proceedings, has succeeded in meeting some of
its early goals -- to remove cronyism and to open up the bankruptcy process.
Despite these successes, the U.S. Trustee program has experienced "mission
creep", expanding its "oversight" involvement to a degree better termed
"micromanagement". This has eroded the confidence in and the efficiency of the
The U.S. Trustee program should: (1) appoint independent, qualified trustees;
(2) designate independent auditors of the trustees operations; (3) expedite
Chapter 11 cases which have no creditor involvement; (4) monitor Chapter 7
cases for instances of substantial abuse; (5) monitor and comment upon
professional compensation requests; (6) bring any disagreement over compliance
with fiduciary standards to the attention of the bankruptcy courts.
The U.S. Trustee program should not: (1) substitute its discretion and
judgment for that of the fiduciary; (2) duplicate the efforts of a private
trustee; (3) seek to centralize its operations, defeating the goal of
autonomous, regional offices; (4) increase its cost and size when the principal
filings in which it is involved -- Chapter 11s -- are declining; (5)
micromanage the offices of Chapter 13 trustees.
Statement of Roger L. Efremsky, National Creditors, At Large
Chapter 13 standing trustees recover more dollars for national creditors, with
a lower cost factor, than is recovered through any of the other bankruptcy
The focus of the budget directives established by the U.S. Trustee is flawed.
The emphasis is placed on a reduction of costs in the operations of the
individual Chapter 13 standing trustees, rather than upon achievements which
are attainable.
Even with technological advances, the burdens placed upon the Chapter 13
standing trustees have significantly increased due to the dramatic increase in
bankruptcy filings, the efforts of government and business to reduce their
costs of operations, and the bankruptcy community expecting and requiring more
services, rather than less, from the Chapter 13 standing trustees.
A polling of national creditors disclosed that they are strongly opposed to
the proposal of the U.S. Trustee that its program be funded by adding to and
then charging the Chapter 13 standing trustees one-half of 1 percent of their
allowed administrative fee.
Statement of Laurence P. Morin, Assn. of Bankruptcy Professionals
The U.S. Trustee, having been given the responsibility for general supervision
and oversight of standing Chapter 12 and 13 bankruptcy trustees, has exceeded
its authority. The U.S. Trustee has determined that it has the absolute power
to determine and fix expenses which standing trustees may incur in the
administration of their trusts. The U.S. Trustee has also assumed that it has
unfettered authority to remove trustees without any application of due process
or determination that cause may exist for such removal.
The Chapter 13 program has been and continues to be the most successful aspect
of the entire bankruptcy system. More than $2 billion each year are
distributed to creditors, at a cost of less than seven percent. The program is
funded entirely by payments made by debtors to the trustees, with no government
or appropriated funds used for standing trustee operations.
A dispute resolution procedure, utilizing the bankruptcy court, is essential
to safeguard the integrity of this successful and cost-effective program, and
to curtail excessive interpretations and abuses of power by the U.S. Trustee.
Statement of Joseph Patchan, Director, EOUST
Since its establishment as a nationwide program in 1986, the U.S. Trustee
program has acted in the public interest to promote the efficiency and to
protect and preserve the integrity of the bankruptcy system. It has enjoyed
many successes in the past year including increased investigation and detection
of bankruptcy fraud, improved monitoring and standards for chapter 7 trustees,
the issuance of nationwide Professional Fee Guidelines, and continued efforts
to significantly reduce the number of lingering chapter 11 cases.
We do not micromanage the trustees' substantive work. Rather, our guidelines
are an attempt to define the appropriate uses of fiduciary money that belongs
to others -- either the debtors or creditors in individual cases.
Congress created the program as a self-funding operation. Currently,
approximately two-thirds of the funds for the program come from chapter 11
filing fees and quarterly assessments. To remain a self-funded system,
additional revenues are necessary to support its operations.
The EOUST's 1997 budget contains three major initiatives: a structural reorganization
of the program to streamline its operations; a chapter 13 disbursement assessment
to raise an estimated $6.2 million in fiscal '97 by imposing a small surcharge
on chapter 13 receipts; and a chapter 11 quarterly fee restructuring that would
raise an estimated $13.4 million in chapter 11 quarterly fees to fund operations.
The proposed chapter 13 surcharge will have a minimal effect on creditor distributions,
while allowing the program to maintain its level of operations. The proposed
changes to the chapter 11 fee structure would rationalize the fee scale by creating
additional levels, as recommended by NAPA, with the most sizeable cases paying
more. In cases where the quarterly disbursements are at $5 million and above,
the fee would rise from $5,000 to $10,000.

I for one have nothing but praise for the Winnipeg Jets. True North has taken a lackluster team from Atlanta and molded them into an exciting team that has a lot of heart. Although there were Jekyl and Hyde moments, I think things went well, and while there are some changes that will likely happen, this group of players did well and deserve to have their names in the record books as the first group of new Jets. They will be fondly remembered in coming years, as a group who never really gave up, even if they did fall short. Play these last games for pride boys, I know we will be watching them with a glow in our hearts, and a yearning for next October to come soon. Thank you for the memories.

Bulls prepare to face Luol Deng for first time
BY MARK POTASH Staff Reporter January 21, 2014 2:36PM
Former teammates on the Chicago Bulls, Cleveland Cavaliers forward Luol Deng, right, talks with Denver Nuggets guard Nate Robinson before an NBA basketball game in Denver, Friday, Jan. 17, 2014. (AP Photo/David Zalubowski)
Bulls at Cavaliers
The facts: 6 p.m., CSN, 1000-AM.

Under Tom Thibodeau, the Bulls treat every game as nothing more than an opportunity to win. But this one won't be just another game for Joakim Noah, Jimmy Butler and most of their teammates.
It'll be their first time facing Luol Deng as an opponent, when the Bulls play the Cleveland Cavaliers on Wednesday (6 p.m., Comcast Sports Net) at Quicken Loans Arena.
''It will probably be weird,'' Noah said. ''It will probably be strange, but I still want to kick his ass. I love Luol. He's my brother. But when that ball goes up, he's not going to be my brother any more.''
Speaking to reporters in Cleveland, Deng acknowledged that as much as he would like it to be another game, it would be ''a little weird'' to face the Bulls.
''It will be good to see the guys,'' Deng said. ''Honestly, it's another game. When I go out there it will be weird, because it's [against] guys I practiced with and I was just with them not too long ago. That aspect of it will be weird.
''But I can't really answer the emotional part until ... the ball goes up. I'm not going to start crying and start hugging the guys. I'm sure they're going to go after me as guys that I'm close with. But when the ball goes up, there's going to be nothing better for them to beat me and vice-versa. I can't wait to beat them. So it will be interesting. Whoever wins ... you're going to be hearing from whoever wins a lot.''
As expected, Deng has fit in well with the Cavaliers, who are 3-3 since they acquired him. Deng is averaging 18.7 points, 3.7 rebounds and shooting 49.4 percent from the field and 50 percent (10-of-20) from three-point range. He has averaged 22.5 points in his last four games, with 27 in a road victory over the Lakers (including 5-of-5 three-point shooting) and 25 the following night in a loss at Portland.
In 23 games with the Bulls, Deng averaged 19 points, 6.9 rebounds and shot 45 percent from the field and 28 percent from three-point range.
''I know how fierce of a competitor he is, so I know he's going to be trying to beat us.'' Thibodeau said. ''We're going to be trying to beat him. And after the game we're going to visit.
''I have a lot of respect for him — all the stuff that he did for us, what he did for me personally. But that friendship aside ... we're going to be ready.''
Butler, one of several Deng disciples on the Bulls, likely will draw the assignment of guarding his former teammate and is looking forward to it.
''It'll be fun,'' Butler said. ''Lu taught me a lot. I think there will be a lot of smiles out there on the court, along with business. You get to play against another great guy. Unfortunately, he's on another team. But he's done so much and he's had a tremendous career. It'll be nice to guard him.''
Still, after the pre-jump handshakes, it will be all business for the Bulls, who have won 11 of their last 15 games and are one game behind Atlanta for third place in the Eastern Conference. And they could be shorthanded against the Cavaliers, with point guard Kirk Hinrich not expected to play after suffering a hamstring injury against the Lakers on Monday night.
''We've dug out of a big hole. [But] we've got a lot of digging to do,'' Thibodeau said. ''By no means have we arrived. We have to go step by step. If we start looking down the road [or] what happened behind us, we're going to lose sight of exactly what's in front of us. We have to be ready for Cleveland.''
Note: The Bulls officially announced the trade of guard Marquis Teague to the Brooklyn Nets for 22-year-old Tornike ''Toko'' Shengelia, a 6-9, 220-pound forward who was averaging 1.5 points in eight minutes a game.

DHHS Launches Youth Mental
Health First Aid to
Address Mental Illness andSubstance Abuse Issues
Youth Mental Health First Aid
Youth Mental Health First Aid is an education program focused on teaching people to help youth (ages 12-18) who may be experiencing a mental health challenge or who are in a crisis. It introduces participants to the unique risk factors and warning signs of mental health problems in adolescents, builds an understanding of the importance of early intervention, and teaches individuals how to help a youth experiencing a mental health or substance use challenge. The training uses role-playing and simulations to:
- demonstrate how to assess a mental health or substance use crisis;
- select actions to take to provide initial help; and
- connect young people to professional, peer, social, and self-help care.
About the Program
Mental Health First Aid USA – www.mentalhealthfirstaid.org is managed, operated, and disseminated by 3 national authorities – the National Council for Community Behavioral Healthcare, the Maryland Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, and the Missouri Department of Mental Health.
It is an evidence based curriculum that helps the public identify, understand, and respond to signs of mental illnesses and substance use disorders. Research has shown that those trained in Mental Health First Aid have greater confidence in providing help to others and are more likely to advise people to seek professional help. People trained are also less likely to stigmatize people with behavioral health challenges.
In the next decade, it is expected that learning Mental Health First Aid in the US will become as common as CPR and First Aid. It has the potential to reduce stigma, improve understanding of mental and substance use disorders, and empower individuals to get the help they need.

Maximum Participation
Phase I was completed one month before the summer of 2009. Full-time and seasonal staff spent training time on the course with the builder, Ropes Works. Adjustments were made almost immediately to the height of the belay cable, and some additional staples were added to the pole for staff. Participant tethers also were added to single pulleys to make the tether move more smoothly on the belay cable; this additional equipment also assisted staff members in getting a participant to the next platform if someone would fall.
Phase II
The second phase of the project included two additional satellite towers. Each tower has a platform at 20 feet and 35 feet, a metal shed roof, an accessible boom at each level, and an additional zip line. Some simple adjustments also were made to Phase I, based on how it was being used. Simpler elements were added on the lower level to allow campers to challenge themselves at different levels, while staff members moved between elements more quickly, if needed. An incline wall also was added for access to level one because it was determined that the ladder and pole climb up to level one was intimidating for some campers, while the tower with the incline wall proved to be successful. DuringCampDreamcatcher, an oncology camp that uses the facility, I watched a camper climb the incline wall. When he got to the top, he stood up, put his hands in the air, and said, "I did it!"
Phase III
The third phase of the high ropes included two more satellite towers. Each tower has a platform at 20 feet and 35 feet, a metal shed roof, and an accessible boom at each level. The third phase had the most drastic changes from the original design. Instead of the three-spoke design, we decided Phase III would be an extension of Phase II, so when the entire course was used, there would be a natural flow for the campers to complete the course without doubling back. It is noteworthy to mention that the design adjustments were made by staff who used the course regularly and not by administrative staff. The final elements selected for Phase III were a catwalk, net walk, plank bridge, and tarp bridge.
The Future
We will continue to make adjustments; in fact, we already want to add a second stand-alone giant swing. We also would like to share our design and process with any camp that is interested. We are always willing to give tours, and are planning to host training on an adaptive high-ropes operation, as well as share what we have learned from this project:
- The planning process made building the facility easier. Not only was the course planned in advance, but knowing that changes would be made once the course was used made it easier to make adjustments.
- Administrative staff did not make all of the decisions; on the contrary, program staff using the course made most of the suggestions for the final design.
- A partnership with the builder helped to minimize costs and plan for the training and adjustments ahead of time.
Regardless of the planning and design, campers had the final word; one camper said it best last summer: "I knew I could do this. I was brave just like Percy Jackson!"
Learn The Lingo:
Two-line bridge –It contains a cable for the feet and one rope at waist level to help with balance.
Multi-vine — A series of vines hang down, requiring participants to move from vine to vine to traverse while walking on a 3/8-inch cable.
Vertical wall — Climbers wear a harness attached by a rope to a belay. As they move up the wall, the belay takes in the rope to limit any falls to only a few inches.
4:1 pulley — This device makes it four times easier for a person with upper-body functioning to haul himself or herself up an element.
Giant swing — This swing has an anchor point about 30 feet long.

Harnessing Social Media to Build Brands: #w2e Interview with Andy Smith
Many of our workshops and sessions at Web 2.0 Expo focus on the mechanics of how to compete in your industry using social media. But speaker Andy Smith wanted to take a different approach with his upcoming session Harnessing Social Media to Build Brands. In his talk, he'll take a deep dive into the psychological insights explaining which social media strategies work and which don't.
Andy will go over the science of social persuasion, the strategies and tactics used by companies, as well as causes that have successfully harnessed social media toward a specific goal. Andy recently spoke with us about his upcoming talk, his new book The Dragonfly Effect, and how brands can improve their social media marketing strategies with a bit more thought.
We also discussed how happiness and marketing go together (including a great example about a Coca-Cola machine), how social media helped find an almost impossible bone marrow match for a patient, and "infectious action."
Check out our full audio interview with Andy now.

Metso DNA Gas Turbine Performance Monitoring
The Metso DNA Gas Turbine Performance Monitoring (DNA Gas Turbine Monitoring) application calculates, stores and displays the main performance parameters that indicate condition and operating efficiency of gas turbines. The calculations are based on gas turbine heat balance and built in accordance with the appropriate ASME standards.
The storing of history values enables long term reporting and trending of performance parameters thus helping to detect gradual changes in gas turbine performance.
Meeting the growing requirements for cost-effective and undisturbed operation in today's economical environment drives power plants to reach for the best possible performance and higher availability. Power plants can no longer afford to operate without knowing the exact gas turbine performance at all times or without taking immediate actions when problems occur. Even a minor decrease in gas turbine efficiency causes significant financial losses in production.
DNA Gas Turbine Monitoring - a Metso DNA Plant Management application* - provides the power plant maintenance and operating personnel with valuable information about the performance, condition and operating efficiency of gas turbines both in real time and historically.
The user interface of the application consists of customized display(s) and report(s) containing the measured and/or calculated data. All calculations are based on the existing instrumentation.
DNA Gas Turbine Monitoring is a standardized application that can be applied to all commonly used manufacturers' gas turbines as well as different gas turbine models. Openness and flexibility ensure that the application can be customized for each individual customer, taking into account the specific features of the gas turbine in question.
The DNA Gas Turbine Monitoring application provides the power plant maintenance and operating personnel with a tool that helps to detect potential problems in the gas turbine operation and analyze the problems that have occurred. This contributes towards proactively responding to failures before they cause unpredicted shutdowns.
The extensive storage of history data also enables long-term monitoring of gradual component deterioration and thus improves scheduling of maintenance.
The DNA Gas Turbine Monitoring application is linked seamlessly to the overall automation applications, which guarantees efficient collaboration between plant management and plant control.
The application includes calculation of the gas turbine heat balance (inputs, outputs and losses) and the main performance parameters, such as turbine inlet temperature, specific fuel consumption, heat rate, thermal efficiency and electrical efficiency.
The calculations are based on generally accepted standards including:
- DIN 4341. Gas Turbines - Acceptance Tests.
- ISO 2314. Gas Turbines - Acceptance Tests.
- ANSI/ASME PTC. 2.2. Gas Turbine Power Plants.
- ANSI B133.6. Gas Turbine Ratings and Performance.
The user interface of the application collects the performance data of the gas turbine into easy-to-understand and easy-to-work-with report(s) and display(s).
The Gas Turbine Performance Display shows the current status of the gas turbine heat balance together with the gas turbine performance parameters in a visualized form.
The Gas Turbine Exit Temperature Spread Display contains the classification of the temperature spread. If the temperature spread exceeds the permitted limit, the fuel feeding nozzles may be blocked, and it is usually necessary to check the nozzles during the next maintenance shutdown.
Trends - for selected performance values - can be utilized to provide a quick overview of the performance as well as the direction and magnitude of change.
*The Metso DNA Plant Management consists of modular applications specifically developed for the energy industry to meet the monitoring, reporting and production optimisation needs of power plants.
The Plant management applications are designed to assist in all areas of power plant operation - from management to production and maintenance.
The Plant management applications are designed to assist in all areas of power plant operation - from management to production and maintenance.

In the summer of 1942 a small group of German students began to speak out against the Nazi regime. Because any criticism of the government was illegal, they distributed their writings anonymously and in secret. Calling themselves the White Rose, they tucked leaflets into phone books, mailed them to randomly chosen recipients, and left them to be found in public places, particularly on high school and college campuses. They produced six pamphlets in all, printing several thousand copies of each.
On February 18, 1943, siblings Hans and Sophie Scholl took a suitcase full of their latest leaflet to the University of Munich, where they were both enrolled — unlike those which had gone before, this leaflet was written specifically for a student audience. Two excerpts:
"Get out of the lecture rooms of the SS corporals and sergeants and the party bootlickers! We want genuine learning and real freedom of opinion. No threat can terrorise us, not even the shutting down of the institutions of higher learning.
"The name of Germany is dishonoured for all time if German youth does not finally rise, take revenge, and atone, smash its tormentors, and set up a new Europe of the spirit. Students! The German people look to us. As in 1813 the people expected us to shake off the Napoleonic yoke, so in 1943 they look to us to break the National Socialist terror through the power of the spirit."
Acting quickly during classes, Hans and Sophie left stacks of pamphlets in corridors for their fellow students to find. As one class session was nearing an end they realized they had a few copies left, and climbed to the top of the building they were in. Leaning over the balcony of a floor-to-ceiling atrium, Sophie threw the remaining copies out into the air, leaving them to float to the lobby below.
For the first time in Hans and Sophie's eight month campaign they had been observed. A college custodian saw them, and reported them to the Gestapo. They were arrested that afternoon, and tried four days later. At the conclusion of their trial, which lasted just a few hours, they were allowed to visit briefly with their parents and then beheaded.
Hans and Sophie Scholl and their friend and comrade Christophe Probst were executed seventy years ago today.
In all, seven members of the White Rose were executed by the Nazis, and more than a dozen others were imprisoned for their activities. Seven members of a Hamburg student resistance group who were inspired by the White Rose died in Nazi jails.
Note: Two years ago I wrote some thoughts on the lessons the White Rose offers for youth organizers today. They can be found here.
"Are Student Governments Obsolete?", an early-70s essay by New York student activist Ray Glass, has enjoyed a boomlet of attention in recent months. A couple of people put the text up online, and it's been getting passed around quite a bit — I keep seeing it pop up on Facebook and Twitter and various blogs.
Ray Glass was one of the founders of SASU, the system-wide student association for the State University of New York. He was the engine behind SASU's successful campaign to get an elected student representative on the SUNY board of trustees (and on those of all the SUNY campuses), and was completing a stint as the organization's legislative director when he was struck and killed by a drunk driver in Albany in 1975.
When I joined SASU in the late 1980s the group's annual organizing conference bore his name, and "Are Student Governments Obsolete?" was one of our touchstone documents — a passionate, broad-ranging critique of university governance, student government, and campus organizing as they had existed fifteen years earlier. In it, Glass argued that voluntary student unions, "dependent in all respects on students and independent of all other people, agencies or forces," are the path to true student power, an argument with a powerful allure for anyone who, like those of us who worked in SASU, had spent years struggling in student governments compromised by their institutional relationship with the university.
Student unionism is today experiencing a rebirth of interest as our contemporary wave of campus activism grows, matures, and begins to ponder next steps. It is that phenomenon that has spurred the Ray Glass mini-revival, and that element of his work that has drawn the most attention.
But there is a strange paradox here. Ray Glass helped build SASU from a perch in student government, serving as student association president at SUNY Binghamton while he did much of the early organizing that brought the statewide group into being. The SASU that he and his peers constructed wasn't a voluntary union of individuals but a confederation of student governments, and it was the power of that confederation that enabled SASU to win SUNY students' first ever direct role in university governance — a victory to which Glass devoted years of his life. And neither was SASU funded by individual memberships, as Glass advocated in the essay. At the time SASU drew revenue from those same student governments, and later it would be supported through binding campus referenda.
This seeming contradiction puzzled me when I first encountered "Are Student Governments Obsolete?", and the essay offered no guidance as to how to resolve it. An editorial note on the first page of the typed version we all endlessly photocopied said that Glass had written it while serving as SASU's legislative director, but SASU was — bizarrely, it seemed to me — mentioned nowhere in the document. (My hunch now is that the piece may have been written earlier, but I've never found anything to confirm that theory.)
For nearly twenty years the unfolding story of SASU, the organization to which Ray Glass devoted the entirety of his adult life, stood at odds with the thrust of his best-known written work. In the years after his death the organization continued to grow, emerging as the nation's strongest and most successful statewide student association — winning victories on tuition, governance, and student rights issues, building stronger and more independent student governments across the SUNY system, and helping to transform the United States Student Association into a more activist, progressive, effective force nationally. The collapse of SASU in the 1990s left a void in American student organizing that is still felt today.
So how are we to reconcile these facts?
To start with, much of Glass's critique stands even if we demur from his conclusions about organizational models. His criticism of student government is acute and lacerating, and many of his arguments about the nature of real student power are cogent and convincing. If student government has more potential than he recognized, it is in part because his generation of activists, and those whom he and his peers influenced, fought like hell to make those institutions into something more worthy than they'd been before.
It's also, I think, worthwhile to interrogate the specifics of Glass's argument in favor of voluntary dues. He envisioned the student union as a direct analogue to the labor union, with collective bargaining standing as its central task and responsibility. Voluntary dues were crucial to this project, he wrote, because "the mandatory dues which labor unions charge have probably done more to facilitate their entrenchment, removal from rank and file, and conservative policies than any other factor."
Reading that sentence today, one is struck by its datedness. Where Glass wrote of labor unions as an "entrenched … conservative" force in the workplace, today nearly all observers — including those unions' radical critics — would argue something close to the opposite, on one or both counts. Indeed, our era's legal and organizing struggles around so-called "right to work" laws proceed from a mirror-image premise from Glass's — nowadays, right-to-work's voluntary dues schemes are understood by supporters and opponents alike as a mechanism for union-busting.
Consider the following, from a December interview with labor historian Nelson Lichtenstein on the right-to-work struggle:
"Solidarity isn't a purely altruistic concept. Unions have to be a combat organization, ready to fight the boss. That means there is an element of coercion involved. It's like taxes. The price of civilization is taxes. The price of unionism is solidarity. And, yes, that does involve coercing people to contribute to the union. Unions are not like the NRA or the Sierra Club, they're not purely voluntary organizations. They were given a slice of state authority in order to solve the problem of industrial violence. … [Unions] need money, staff. They're the ones hustling for votes. That's where the battlefield is being fought. And the money to do that comes from dues. When you don't have that, unions shrink."
There are obvious critiques of this perspective to be offered. But its core message is hard to dispute, and its applicability to the student unionism movement as Ray Glass conceptualized it seems clear.
Students like Ray Glass fought hard to build to gain access to mandatory funding mechanisms for student activist organizations, and their successors are fighting hard to keep them, and expand them, today. (As I write this, the Arizona Students Association has seen their democratically-approved student fee funds frozen by the university in a dispute over ASA's pro-student organizing activities. The fate of the ASA may well hang in the balance.)
If you believe — as Ray Glass wrote, and as I agree — that every American campus should have a student union "which so overwhelmingly speaks for students that it becomes recognized by the university as the exclusive collective bargaining agent for students on all matters affecting the students of that university as students," then the events of the last four decades suggest that you have to entertain the idea that building a robust, democratic mechanism for implementing mandatory dues schemes is a valid, even essential, organizing goal. And if that's your goal, you have to at least contemplate the possibility that student government organizing may be the path most likely to get you there.
If reading Ray Glass is the first step in building student unionism in our century, arguing with him may well be the second.
The things she knew, let her forget again –
The voices in the sky, the fear, the cold,
The gaping shepherds, and the queer old men
Piling their clumsy gifts of foreign gold.
Let her have laughter with her little one;
Teach her the needless, tuneless songs to sing;
Grant her her right to whisper to her son
The foolish names one dare not call a king.
Keep from her dreams the rumble of a crowd,
The smell of rough-cut wood, the trail of red,
The thick and chilly whiteness of the shroud
That wraps the strange new body of the dead.
Ah, let her go, kind Lord, where mothers go
And boast his pretty words and ways, and plan
The proud and happy years that they shall know
Together, when her son is grown a man.
–Dorothy Parker, 1928
University of Rhode Island labor historian Erik Loomis has garnered a lot of conservative attention in the last few days.
After the Newtown shootings, Loomis tweeted that he wanted "Wayne LaPierre's head on a stick." (LaPierre is the head of the NRA.) Though this statement was obviously metaphorical, some high-profile conservatives pounced on it, and gave it a lot of attention. Loomis has since been visited by the police and called in for a meeting with his dean. You can find the whole story — along with an ever-growing list of Loomis's academic supporters — here.
The whole thing would be silly if it weren't potentially so damaging to Loomis's career.
How silly? Well, there's this, for starters. Robert Stacy McCain has been one of the more vocal conservative bloggers on the Loomis beat. As part of his campaign, he invited someone named "Badger Pundit" to guest post about Loomis's dissertation — a history of union organizing among loggers in the Pacific Northwest.
That post wound up giving prominent play to a few paragraphs in which Loomis discussed homosexuality among early 20th century loggers. Unsure what to make of the discussion, but eager to pass it along, Badger Pundit quoted liberally from the brief passage, linked to the Monty Python "Lumberjack Song," then tossed in an aside about how reading the material left him feeling like "I needed a shower."
But not as classy as commenter Danby, who opined that given the sleeping arrangements in logging camps of the era, any "homosexuals" among the loggers "would soon be found out and beaten with axe handles within an inch of their worthless lives."
That comment has at the time of this writing received nine upvotes and just one lonely downvote. It's also attracted a reply from Badger Pundit himself, who called it "fascinating," "a great read," and "a real contribution to the understanding of U.S. history."
To recap: Calling for a political enemy's "head on a stick" is a firing offense. Imagining gays "beaten with axe handles within an inch of their worthless lives" is just good writing.
Black Panther Party leader Fred Hampton helped establish the Chicago Panthers as an organization providing community services for the poor and brokered a treaty between the street gangs of the city — all before his twenty-first birthday.
Hampton was murdered by police on this date in 1969, shot down in his bed as he slept with his heavily pregnant girlfriend beside him.
Here's Hampton, just weeks before he died, responding to the Days of Rage, a Weatherman riot in his hometown of Chicago.
"We believe that the Weatherman action is anarchistic, opportunistic, individualistic. It's chauvinistic, it's Custeristic. And that's the bad part about it. It's Custeristic in that its leaders take people into situations where the people can be massacred — and they call that a revolution. It's nothing but child's play, it's folly. We think these people may be sincere but they're misguided. They're muddleheads and they're scatterbrains."

Ashlee Simpson-Wentz must have confused Late Night with Jimmy Fallon for Last Call with Jimmy Fallon after her performance Thursday night on NBC.
Simpson-Wentz was on to promote the series debut of Melrose Place on The CW next week and it appeared she had quite the party in the green room before being interviewed.
It was the first time that Simpson-Wentz has been away from her nine-month-old son Bronx Mowgli. Husband Pete Wentz is back home in Los Angeles playing the role of babysitter.
Maybe she was just happy to be in New York City or is just naturally loopy but she spent more time laughing and swaying back and forth than plugging her show.
I'm all for having a good time and letting your hair down while the kid is away but maybe she could have waited until after her interview if you know what I'm saying.
Simpson-Wentz is probably glad she's not home after the Southern California wildfires knocked out power at their home.
Hollywood might not be their home for much longer as the couple is seeking a
"normal" life for their son.
"Once you have a kid it's a little bit different," said the Fall Out Boy frontman. "You're more protective. You want them to have a normal life, or as normal as possible. We're going to figure out moving somewhere that's a little less (public). But we still got to be close enough where we can work. There'll be too many paparazzi and you'll get mobbed. You're just trying to protect your wife or your kid. It's just frustrating."
With Ashlee on her way to an acting career in Hollywood, it would be hard for the couple to leave the media frenzy completely but isn't it refreshing to hear a couple trying to avoid the paparazzi instead of seeking them out?

Nexus Prime: what we know, and what we don't as of Oct. 7
- It's a Samsung device
- It will be the first phone on the market running Ice Cream Sandwhich, which will be Android 4.0
- It will be 802.11n compliant
- - this piece of info has been repeated so many times and we had put it in a lower category, but if it isn't true, Google will have a geek riot on its hands. This rumor was part of Samsung's leaked roadmap, has been sent out as a tweet from Samsung Romania in July, confirmed by Korean news, and by the eye-witness rumors at the Verizon headquarters. Screen resolution has been one of the slower moving parts in Android handsets. CPUs are faster, storage is bigger, cameras are better, but many handsets still use the same 400x800 displays although qHD has started to make a push. If nothing else, this screen is the leading feature on what Google has always held as its pace car device for the Android ecosystem. The resolution and type of screen has essentially been confirmed, although the size is still under a bit of debate.
- The screen will be curved - we saw this in the recent teaser video of the Prime.
- It will have dock connectors - also in the teaser.
- It will have NFC - we saw an app list for the Nexus Prime, and although that's not a smoking gun, it's good enough for this feature.
- It will have facial recognition, which we know because Google flat out said it.
- Capacitive function buttons vs virtual buttons - this one seems like a done deal for virtual buttons, and we have seen enough photo proof to give it the pass. Given the likely display size, and the fact that ICS will be merging the best of Honeycomb to Gingerbread, virtual buttons seem like a certainty, but many people just don't like virtual buttons.
- It will be coming to Verizon, this again is part of the app list linked above, which shows Verizon apps. It's expected that the Prime will come as a timed exclusive for Verizon, but that falls into a lower category.
- TI OMAP 4460 CPU. We have seen enough spec leaks to confirm this, now it's just a matter of what clock speed it will be. Although since we know the chip make, that means we can also confirm the GPU as the SGX540 found on the OMAP 4460 SoC.
- It will be available on T-Mobile at launch - T-Mo is a Nexus standard both because of its history with Google and stock Android devices, but also because it is GSM and a T-Mo model can also be a launched on many carriers around the world. It is very possible that Sprint will also have the device at launch because of its increasingly close relationship with Google, but no Nexus device has launched on any carrier other than T-Mobile in the US, but it's looking more and more likely that will not be the case this time around. UPDATE: We're still betting the Nexus Prime will be on T-Mo when it launches as an official Nexus device, but new rumors have the Prime launching first as the Samsung DROID Prime on Verizon.
- It will have at least 16 GB of internal storage - this is a trend that Google started trying to push with the Nexus S, but has been slow to filter out to the rest of the Android ecosystem. Google wants users to stop having to rely on SD storage for apps, and that means more internal storage. We don't see Google moving backwards from the 16 GB of internal storage that was available in the Nexus S, and there is a possibility that the storage will be even bigger, as the latest rumors have it packing 32 GB of storage.
- - quad-core was a dream, but won't be ready for this release window, and Samsung's Exynos processors have yet to hit 1.5 GHz. We know the make of the chip, it's the clock speed we don't know, because we've heard rumors of both 1.2 GHz and 1.5.
- Availability on Verizon - as we mentioned when we first reported the story, the rumor was that Samsung was showing off the Nexus Prime at Verizon HQ, that's all. There was no indication at all that Verizon would be carrying the phone aside from the unsubstantiated speculation added on by many other tech sites. No Nexus device has ever made it to Verizon, in fact there have been almost no stock Android phones on Verizon at all. Verizon is no fan of the added features in stock Android, and its also not a fan of Android phones that don't come preloaded with Verizon's favorite bloatware. That said, if Verizon can get past the idea of a phone with no bloatware, Google seems willing to concede free tethering and WiFi hotspot functions as those functions of stock Android were recently removed on the Nexus S with the 2.3.5 update. UPDATE: It looks like Verizon won't be getting the Nexus Prime, but will be launching its own variant exclusively before the Nexus Prime. Verizon's variant will be called the Samsung DROID Prime. The new rumors have claimed this will be a complete exclusive for Verizon, but we're still not sold on that. More likely, it will be a timed exclusive for about a month, then the other major carriers will get the Nexus Prime.
- October release - we're sure that Google would probably like to hit an October release for the Nexus Prime and Ice Cream Sandwich, but releases of Nexus devices have always been later than expected. The Nexus One was expected to be released for the holiday season 2009, but didn't make it out until January 2010. The Nexus S was expected to be released in time for Thanksgiving 2010, but didn't make it until December. So, Google may be aiming for an October release, but we certainly wouldn't be surprised to see that pushed to a November or even December release, besides, as we've said before, there may not be any reason for Google to rush the Prime and Ice Cream Sandwich for a manufactured head-to-head with the iPhone 4S. UPDATE: this is also a bit of a semantic issue, the Samsung Galaxy Prime will likely launch on Verizon in October, but the Nexus Prime will more likely hit other carriers in November.
- LTE/HSPA+ - we were surprised that the Nexus S didn't have HSPA+ support, and we'd be completely beside ourselves if it didn't exist in the Nexus Prime, but again there has been no word on what to expect as far as a radio in the device. Also, since no other carrier has been confirmed, it's hard to say whether there will be a Prime for Sprint, let alone WiMAX. There has been no word at all about AT&T getting the Nexus Prime. The main push right now is that the Nexus Prime will be on Verizon and will include an LTE radio.
- The Prime will not have any bloatware - this was also something taken from the leaked app list. The worry was never that the Nexus Prime would have bloat, but that Verizon's variant would have bloatware, because that's kind of Verizon's style. But, it's looking more and more likely that won't be the case.
- 5 MP rear camera, 2 MP front camera - we're torn on this one. It's not so much that there's any reason to doubt the 5 MP rear camera, which was also part of the Samsung roadmap leak, and multiple spec rumors, it's more that we don't want it to be true. 5 MP is kind of on the fringe. Obviously, MP don't tell the whole story, but even with a larger sensor, 5MP doesn't always take the best HD video. It could be perfectly fine, but we just need more information about it to get excited. However, a 2 MP front camera would certainly be nice considering most front cameras are still VGA.
- Size of display - this one has had conflicting rumors. While we are willing to say that the display will be the Super AMOLED HD, the size of the screen is harder to peg. The Samsung roadmap had it listed at 4.65", but some rumors have it as big as 4.7" or as low as 4.3". The Verizon HQ rumor had the size of the display at 4", but we're pretty sure that a Super AMOLED HD screen can't be that small because of the pixel density.
- A physical QWERTY keyboard - this was one of the more interesting rumors, which came from a Twitter poet with inside ties to Verizon. The claim is that "one" of the Primes will have a QWERTY keyboard, this could very well be true, and it also does point to the Prime not being a full exclusive on Verizon, but a timed exclusive.
- The Prime will dock with a tablet - this is a weird rumor. The teaser video of the Prime clearly shows dock connector pins on the side of the phone and it also shows a tablet on top of the phone. Some have jumped on this to claim that the Prime will dock with a tablet. We're more of the mind that the image is more of a reference to Ice Cream Sandwich bridging the gap between Android phones and tablets, but anything is possible.
- Facial detection unlock - another part of the app list leak was an app called FaceLock, which seems to point to a way to unlock your phone using facial recognition rather than a password or gesture.
- Chrome browser - there have been rumors floating around the Chromium boards that a full version of Chrome would be replacing the stock Android browser, and that it may even happen as soon as Ice Cream Sandwich. We're not going to hold our breath for this one though. It would be great, but there's very little to go on right now.

other than the 1.5 GHz dual-core TI OMAP 4460 SoC-.. i dont see anything breath taking.. A Lindsey back to rehab creates more buzz than this phone...
5. MichaelHeller (Posts: 2691; Member since: 26 May 2011)
a full 720p HD screen on a phone doesn't excite you at all?
15. The_Miz (Posts: 1496; Member since: 06 Apr 2011)
Why should it? It'll just be another supposedly high end phone that won't really amount to much compared to the iPhone 5 especially with all the problems the Nexus S had.
18. twenti7 (Posts: 152; Member since: 09 Jul 2011)
I love how iSheep like to forget about all the problems that iPhones have has. Most notably the "death grip" on the iPhone 5, making it useless as a phone depending on how you use it.
30. gallitoking (Posts: 4690; Member since: 17 May 2011)
well the death grip sold millions and how did your pretty phone sold?.... all phones have problems but not like the android phones. the also dominate in complaints... google it.. jejejeje
53. 305Bucko (Posts: 506; Member since: 07 Aug 2011)
lol so I guess because the iPhone sold millions its the best??? thats how you measure success? ok, using your "success scale" if u have a look at the stats you will notice that Android handsets outsell apple worldwide. Android market share is greater than iOS. But that is not the reason I bought my "pretty little" nexus. Its cuz I got sick of not being able to view the flash vids my friends would post on fb. Not being able to watch the Daily Show Colbert report, not being able to bluetooth/bumb music.... the list is too long, in short... ur dum
64. gallitoking (Posts: 4690; Member since: 17 May 2011)

132. gallitoking (Posts: 4690; Member since: 17 May 2011)
jajajjaa ..wow see how in a few weeks u went from everyone thinking that you were smart ..and it took me to flush that out of you, and all of your latest comments has truly shown who you really are... dont believe me.. go back a month and you used to make sense.. now...
"gallito uses an androidphone, not an iphone. dont let him fool you. he doesnt own any iphones at all."....
and for the record.. I only use my phone for calling i use my ipad2 for all may data.. .. yep dont be fooled by remixfa... aka fraud
141. remixfa (Posts: 14135; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
really gallito.. whats your current smartphone? :) I use an SGS and I have an LG G-Slate. You act like a huge apple fanboy... and no, normally you make zero sense or points... and u use an android phone all day.
sounds like your just here to stir up the boards.
145. remixfa (Posts: 14135; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
and gallito, I havent changed. In the last weeks you have gone further and further over to hugging Miz and Taco and a full fledged apple troll. Noone has changed here except you. lol.
you realize you are trolling on an android thread? Your only purpose here is to troll and incite comments. Even taco doesnt normally do that. That puts you right beside Miz and his spandex play toys.
146. remixfa (Posts: 14135; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
Taco already tried this whole "lets try to make remix look like a liar" bit. its been used. it didnt work for him, and its not working for you. Your just making yourself look loonier.
get a new shtick.
189. KRONeage (Posts: 61; Member since: 17 Apr 2011)
There's one thing all you Apple Religious Right Zealots always forget. iPhone quit being new in 2007 and they have been playing catch up ever since to Android. Over 20 of the new features offered in iOS 5 have been taken from Android and they still haven't caught up to it in many ways even in Beta.
Still no true Widgetsssss (Plural). You have a Widget screen with one Widget that also goes into suspended mode when not being used. If it's not "Live", you're always playing catch up (lagging behind). It's not even a Widget then (it's an App). It's no different than their cheap excuse for MultiTasking that iOS can't run, because it wasn't build into the kernel, like on Android.
I like to rag on all you iDiots for iOS not having FLASH support. Which still isn't dead, nor will it be anytime soon. All it needed was hardware acceleration (which it got) and I've been using it since it first came on Android. Video sites are even offering HTML5 alternative, but yet traffic mapping has shown that those that can view FLASH pick it over HTML5.
Hope you're happy seeing all those blank spaces where it doesn't load on iOS. I also hope you get that Apple is telling you it's fine for OS-X, but iOS users can't use it. But you iFools are the kind of people that would be happier living in the former Soviet Union under an iCommunist Dictatorship anyway!
#1 Choice is very lacking in Apple's iOS devices. It's kind of like Steve Jobs's Mao Suit wardrobe and too lazy to shave attitude. Just because NeXT computer didn't get it's FLASH port in time to get Steve the school deals, he's had a hard on against FLASH, besides wanting to keep Quicktime Framework as the only hot plugable runtime available. That's with an even worse security record than..... FLASH!!! haha.....
It's therefore Prime time for Nexus to again lead the way being the first mobile device with FLASH 11 loaded. That's w/ full P2P, 3D Molehill API Acceleration, that has been shown to be far better than WebGL (Apple's choosing) and like FLASH itself, still running faster and better than any non-standard HTML5 video or game application on the web. Yeah FLASH 11 is more than alive and will still PWN online games, now even more so!!!

It was sold alot because of high ads and the common people follow, there are alot.
It is certainly not the best
65. gallitoking (Posts: 4690; Member since: 17 May 2011)

187. ikkuh (Posts: 34; Member since: 22 May 2011)
uuuhhh...even that isn't true.
there at least 10 phones that sold better in history.
nr 1 is still the Nokia 1100 (250 million)

The razr sold the best does that mean its the best no.... and more android device where sold then ios device so by ur scale its the best os....... dang macfag troll
191. OB (unregistered)
Iphones sell because morons buy into whatever is popular and what the person beside them buys.. yeah iphone was great.. in 08.. there's nothing amazing or jaw dropping about the crappy 4 other than the retina display and omg new software on the 5.. and practically every issue on a droid can be fixed consumers just dont want to bother trying and I'm a tech. The best carrier around which I'll keep unanomous but Iphones have multiple issues aswell.
209. taz89 (Posts: 2014; Member since: 03 May 2011)
more sales does not mean better,,,just means more popular...
42. The_Miz (Posts: 1496; Member since: 06 Apr 2011)
Oh WOW, ONE problem compared to the numerous problems main Android phones have. And big deal, if you kept your iphone in a case, like anyone should with a smartphone, it never happened.

You're wrong there.
The Nexus Prime is another high end phone that wont really be anything exiting compared to Wave 3 ; )
74. protozeloz (Posts: 5381; Member since: 16 Sep 2010)
And what features does the wave processes that will make it worth having
76. remixfa (Posts: 14135; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
bada.. duh. peter is like taco.. just replace an apple logo for a bada one on anything and its the best thing ever.. lol.
165. UltraElectroMagneticPOP (Posts: 49; Member since: 30 Aug 2011)
@PeterIfromsweden I just love how dedicated you are to bada. It's not really the annoying fanboy type. Just a really dedicated fanboy. LOL
212. roldefol (Posts: 3178; Member since: 28 Jan 2011)
We love you when you're endlessly pushing bada, Peter, but when you start comparing hardware you just sound ignorant.
244. thekai12 (Posts: 25; Member since: 07 Dec 2010)
i just hate that you come trolling about your wave 3 do that in the wave 3 review section please and i dont hate the wave 3 so dont thumb me down
106. readingthissh1t (Posts: 303; Member since: 20 Jul 2011)
sigh* you have your head so far up Apple's ass that its quite amazing. Apple is magical, they can create iSlaves that live Apple. To them, Apple is the alpha and the omega. Why cant you see that Android is better spec wise and design wise?(widgetss and lwp)
The iPhone 5 will play catch up with current *High end android devices. I love the Android operating system and I love the *High end handsets that run on Android, but I'm not reluctant to point out Android's flaws. The only reason I haven't yet is you. personally I think your a fat f**k that lives in the basement. Nexus prime will kill iPhone 5, not in sales(iPhone is not possible to beat in sales)but feature wise.
202. narley (Posts: 357; Member since: 14 May 2009)
theres no such thing as an iphone5... shtttuuuupid.
233. belovedson (Posts: 832; Member since: 30 Nov 2010)
i own a nexus s. what problems you shmuck
20. remixfa (Posts: 14135; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
the only thing exciting on the phone to me is ICS and the screen. 1.5ghz sounds nice but what does that actually do for performance/battery drain. Is it actually faster than a 1.2ghz exynos at that speed.. the same.. or still less?
if it has better than a 5mpx camera that would help. on a "reference device" it should have at least 8mpx which is what most are launching with.. if not push it to 10-12mpx. or... even better.. come with a professional quality iris instead of that little pinhole they use for cell phones.
26. gallitoking (Posts: 4690; Member since: 17 May 2011)
need more than that to excite me for the Prime...
32. wassup (Posts: 565; Member since: 23 Jun 2011)
then what excites you in the iPhone 5? the fact that it uses a feature phone OS, or that it won't hold calls and drop them?
35. E.N. (Posts: 2362; Member since: 25 Jan 2009)
The death grip might be a problem, but I'm really digging the design of the iPhone 5 though.
39. wassup (Posts: 565; Member since: 23 Jun 2011)
meh, it's the same design as the iP4, so it's basically a brick.
50. E.N. (Posts: 2362; Member since: 25 Jan 2009)
Wow, I was being sarcastic. We don't know anything about the iPhone 5.
37. biggles (Posts: 213; Member since: 15 Oct 2009)
Hard to imagine an Apple fan can't get excited over a larger display altogether with a higher resolution than anything called an iPhone. I think my flip phone from 3 years ago had a bigger display than the iPhone.
54. 305Bucko (Posts: 506; Member since: 07 Aug 2011)
if the iPhone had a 4.5" 720p screen the apple fanboys would go flippin nuts. But if its on a nexus, its not a big deal. Snap out of it iSheep try to look beyond the fad.
66. gallitoking (Posts: 4690; Member since: 17 May 2011)
why bother dude, u wont believe and dispute everything i say.. dont ask what you are not ready to listen...
71. taz89 (Posts: 2014; Member since: 03 May 2011)
You say the prime does not excite you with its spec so how does the new iphone excite you cause from the rumors it will only be catching up with the android devices..ie bigger screen,dual core,8mp camera etc
77. remixfa (Posts: 14135; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
gallito, you dont even own an iphone.. lol. your the worst kind of isheep.. a wannabe isheep... lol
81. Tmachaveli (Posts: 425; Member since: 01 Apr 2011)
amen to that this man got a ipad and now he is king fruit when u use to have a droid if your droid was so bad why didn't u just get another one.??
108. gallitoking (Posts: 4690; Member since: 17 May 2011)
Tmachaveli ... I gave Android a chance.. I think that i have all the right to buy the product that I pleased and give my support to whatever product i want... i never ask to support Apple .. never... i only defend the product I support... and prove android idiots... that they are more phoney than apple as u guys dont respect people that dont like Android.. ask peterfromsweden...
118. remixfa (Posts: 14135; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
i respect peter a hell of a lot more than i respect iDiots. As much of a crack addict as he is about BADA at least hes not a trolling dumbass.. lol

right.. you are not only a fraud.. but a freakin lier...

how does one contradict the other? Mind explaining that?
149. gallitoking (Posts: 4690; Member since: 17 May 2011)
well you say you respect peter when on the bada argument you never gave us proofs. and on this article you made fun of him... it doesnt seem like you respect me... dude.. grow up and realized the fraud you are...
154. remixfa (Posts: 14135; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
first off, poking fun at peter because he never misses an opportunity to pimp bada and not liking the guy are 2 different things. If you go back on the boards there were multiple occasions where I even said I prefer peter's bada pimping over anything taco.. any day of the week.
And if I didnt respect you at least somewhat, we wouldnt be playing wordfeud on the side.. lol.
You however do say some nutty things and do things to incite a flame war.. which is the exact reason you in an android thread posting like crazy trying to get attention. It doesnt take 30 comments to say you are more interested in the iphone5 and whatever specs it may or may not have over the Nexus Prime. Even Taco doesnt do that anymore. Instead of pointing fingers, look in the mirror.
107. gallitoking (Posts: 4690; Member since: 17 May 2011)
i do have the ipad2 and is flawless compare to the Droid X.. so that makes me the best kind of Isheep. i have had both.. ...ahh made you look dumb.... told you.. i can smell a phoney...
68. Eingild (Posts: 203; Member since: 19 Apr 2011)
Then why the f**k are you loitering on this article. If the nexus prime is not so much of a breath-taker for you then go somewhere else. Sheesh
150. gallitoking (Posts: 4690; Member since: 17 May 2011)
is very simple... i can comment in any article I pleased.. just like the always popular Apple articles full of haters.. dont like it.. go to the nickjr website.. is all love over there...

Iphone looks sleek but its an outdated piece of junk. If you hold it without a special case you lose service lol You can't even carry a spare battery something so simple that Apple doesn't allow. The navigation that comes with android alone destroys the iphone, iphone uses an outdated navigation system. Iphone is for simple minded lemmings.

That's because its not an iphone. Here are some facts about you:
There is nothing in this world that could make you use something besides iOS.
There is nothing in this world that would make you admit that iOS has been playing catch up to Android since at least 4.0, feature wise.
In your eyes, the iphone is the pinnacle of man. Everything else is pointless.
You're terrible at spelling. Because of your rampant use of 'u' instead of 'you' I can only assume you're, in fact, a 14 year old girl.
