Ok, when i try to connect to my wireless network, after it attempts to connect it says "limited to no connectivity" i have tried disableing the connection and re connecting. i have unplugged my modem, restarted my computer-nothing changes. I have tried the "repair" button which then sends me a message saying that it can't renew the IP address. i've gone through cmd and typed in ipconfig/renew and it tells me: "an error occurred while renewing interface wireless network connection 2: unable to contact your DHCP server. request has timed out"
i had my friends laptop over to see if other computers could connect and there was no problem.

Problems Connecting Dell Laptop Wireless Connection - WinXP
I'm working on a Dell laptop for a friend Latitude D630 running Windows XP Pro SP2. Seems the only place he can connect to a wireless network is at his home. I now have the laptop trying to figure what the problem is. Here's what I found.
I was able to connect to the internet via a wireless at my place. First on another friend's wireless unsecured connection. I was also able to connect via my own connection a WEP secured connection. Connectivity lasted for about 30 minutes. I was suddenly disconnected with a message saying the there was no connectivity via my WEP connection. I then tried the unsecured connection and was able to connect to the net at least for a few minutes. Since that time I've had some trouble connecting. I've opened a command prompt and entered ipconfig / release, then ipconfig /renew. It works on the unsecured wireless connection, but not on the WEP network. Any ideas what could be happening.
Thanks in advance

Solved: Security Update Kb957097 Causes Wireless To Stop Working - WinXP
This is just a heads-up that after security update KB957097, my wireless stopped working.
I have a Belkin N-Wireless Router, and I use WPA-PSK (TKIP) security.
Specifically, I got 2 message balloons on my wireless connectivity icon (bottom right tray in XP).
1. windows was unable to find a certificate to log you on to the network
2. this connection has limited or no connectivity
After I uninstalled that security update (after 2 hours of knocking my head), it started working fine.
Can't Connect To The Internet - WinXP
System: Dell 8600 laptop, Win 5.1 XP SP3
I use a wireless internet connection, which was working fine until two days ago when I turned my computer on and IE refuses to connect to the internet. It showed that I had a good connection to the internet. My other computer connects fine to the internet.
I ran the diagnostics from the IE msg, asked me to reset the winsock configurations, which I did and did a reboot to no avail. Ran the diagnostics again and same msg saying need to reset the winsock configurations. I have rebooted about 7 times in total already but no fix.
Tried a few other internet sites which said to reset the winsock by following command...
netsh winsock reset
did the reboot same problem.
Tried to repair the wireless connection and stalled during the renewing IP address. Now it detects the wireless connection but "limited or no connectivity"
I am clueless now, please help
Wireless Stopped Working On Laptop After Installing Meteor Broadband - WinXP
Hi all
Just wondering anyone could help me with this please? I used to use irish broadband, a friend's friend helped me connect that to a wireless router, which was all working fine, however i cancelled the irish broadband in May, and i think by then my wireless on my dell inspiron 6400 was still working once i turned on the laptop, i could view all the wireless connection available. i have Intel PRO/Wireless 3845ABG network connection built in.
Then in May i got meteor broadband to go, i installed that, which is working fine. however, since then, my wireless has stopped working, i tried to fix it for days, but could not get anywhere, which is very stressful because everything is turned on and enabled, i looked through trouble shooting and i ran ipconfig, but it says 'media state disconnected'. I rang meteor, and they told me to go to device manager, which i had ensure all card/connection is enabled. but maybe there is something else, im just not sure where to look and fix the problem. i installed meteor broadband on another laptop, which the wireless on that laptop is still working perfectly, only my Dell wireless connection is not
could anyone give me any advice please?
Really appreciated!
Limited To No Connectivity Help, Your My Last Hope! - WinXP
Okay so heres the problem I have this (of course) wireless laptop that runs on windows XP
This laptop does have windows xp service pack 3, but I cannot uninstall it (just saying I found it but there isn't a remove option) that is not the problem though
The problem is is that every time I try and connect to the Internet it gives me that cursed yellow triangle saying that there is limited to no connectivity.
After various reboots failed to change this I went online using another computer. And nothing has helped so far, I have tried EVERYTHING it seems from hardware fixes like unplugging the router to cmd run winsock intsh. Nothing seems to work.
By the way if it helps at all before this happened I lost my password I signed in with another account (an administrative account) when I did this though it wouldnt even attempt to connect to the internet so I tried to set up a wireless connection and that is when it has said limited to no connectivity for the first time and it has said so since then.
Also if it helps I had to change the password to my original account in order to log in.
plz help!

Internet Says Limited Or No Connectivity After A Period Of Time - WinXP
this is a problem that is similar to many other posts on this site, but is just unique enough that the solutions don't work:
recently my internet has stated to err after a short period of time of being open. I have a DYNEX wireless enhanced G usp Adapter for my desktop so I can use the wireless in my house.
My computer is running win XP sp3. while on the internet my dynex adapter stops flashing, and the wireless icon turns red and says that it has "limited or no connectivity" When i try to re-connect to a wireless network, the computer says it's appempting to re-establish a connection...it never succeeds. the only thing that allows me to go on the internet is a restart. I have run every registry cleaner, disk cleaner, malware remover and AntiVirus that I know of, and no success. I have tried System restores, CCleaner, CHKDisk, and "repair connection" all to no avail. I have tried re-installing the driver about eight times.
HELP! please!!!! :[[
2nd Laptop Not Connecting To Wireless Network - WinXP
Hi all
I got an Aspire one laptop loaded with XP and when i tried to connect to the wireless it was showing errors such as "validating connectivity" , no or limited connectivity etc. so i thought there may be an issue with drivers or the s/w itself and when i checked the deivice manager there were lot of yellow signal and hence i I reinstalled Win XP and now there are no problems in the device manager. The wireless network is visible so i guess the drivers and the hardware is working fine.
I know its some setting error that iam making but not sure where....iam running a wpa 2 encryption wireless on Belkin G wireless. I couldnt find wpa 2 in my xp laptop wireless settings so i chose all the options one by one but none are working. The password is the same for the wireless since i set up and i havent changed it ever.
my other laptop on win 7 ultimate doesnt have any problem as it discovered the wireless and asked for the password only the first time and now connects everytime i switch it on.
I have in the netwrok options open, shared, wpa, wpa psk options and AES & TKIP as network authetication.
Iam just fed up....have been trying differnt things for the last one week and tried out many things available on the net but nothing is working...hope i get an answer.
It would be great if some one can help me get the laptop to connect to the wireless network
Many Thanks
Can't Get An Ip Address From Dchp Server, Help!!!!! - WinXP
Hi guys,
Hope somebody can help me, I've just recently switched to BT broadband at home and have the new v2 homehub router. I've got 2 laptops and a desktop, the desktop and the one laptop connect wirelessly to the internet perfectly but i'm at my wits end with the other laptop. It finds the wireless network but then gives "limited or no connectivity"
I can't get it to assign an IP address properly. if i go to run > cmd > ipconfig then i get and autoconfiguration IP of 169.254.201.30 and a subnet mask of 255.255.0.0 with the rest blank. Am i right in thinking an ip starting 169 is a personal one and it should really start with 192 as the others do?
I have tried cmd > ipconfig/release and then ipconfig/renew but then get "An error occurred while renewing interface Wireless Network Connection 5 : unable to contact your dchp server. Request has timed out"
I have tried restarting everything to no avail and have tried ispfix.exe and winsockxpfix but sadly no joy there either.
Basically i'm stumped and would be willing to give any ideas a go.
Thanks in advance
Limited Or No Connectivity - WinXP
Hardware - Dell Latitude D810
OS - Windows XP, I believe it has service pack 2
Internet Explorer
Internet has been working without a problem until today. I got home from work and my wife told me she was not able to get on internet with machine today. I tried and was unsuccessful, so I plugged in a working ethernet cable to bypass wireless card in case that was the problem, no change. I turned all computers off, modem off, router off, waited for a couple of minutes and turned modem on first, after all lights were solid turned on router, then turned on computers. I have two other computers that are actively accessing the internet, therefore router and modem are not a problem. I went to run, typed in cmd and then ipconfig, which showed a 169.xxx.xxx so I went into control panel opened network connections and made sure it was set to get IP address automatically, restarted computer and now ipconfig shows 192.168.1.3
Local Area Connection Status - message - Limited or no connectivity You might not be able to access the internet or some network resources. This problem occurred because the networkd did not assign a network address to the computer. To restart the connection and try to establish full connectivity . Click Repair.
I selected repair and got this message: Windows could not finish repairing the problem because the following action cannot be completed: Renewing your IP address
Of note- I was not able to update my AVG free anti-virus so earlier this week I uninstalled AVG free and downloaded it successfully but can't get it to run, it keeps giving me an error message, so right now there is no virus protection on the machine.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Cannot Connect To The Internet On Win Xp Notebook Wireless, Please Help! - WinXP
I am having terrible trouble connecting my friend's notebook to the internet. She has a wireless DLINK router and her laptop works fine, but the notebook is not connecting at all. It used to work fine a couple of weeks ago, but suddenly stopped working/connecting last week,
The notebook is running Windows XP Home Edition Service Pack 3. When I boot the notebook up it tries to connect and I bring up the list of wireless networks and it says 'Aquiring Network Address' and then it changes to 'Limited or no connectivity'.
When I go to the properties of the wireless network adapter and go to the Wireless Networks tab, it states the Dlink is Automatic and when I click on the properites of the Dlink the Network Authentication is currently set to 'Open' and the Data encryption is set to WEP. Could this be the problem perhaps?
One other thing we have tried is connecting to the internet with a wired connection and this works fine, it is just connecting wirelessly we having problems connecting.
Please can someone help us out with this, thanks
Simply Can't Connect To The Internet - WinXP
I just can't connect to the internet with my desktop. I disconnected some plugs in the back to withdraw the wireless signal from my router for a brief second, and it refuses to reconnect despite the fact that everything is plugged in correctly. I know my internet is not it because I'm using the wifi that my desktop is hooked up to through a cable.
Looking on Network Connections, theres two options there. One being Net Adapter which is connected and the other is Local Area Connection which says 'Limited or no connectivity'. When I try to repair Local area connection, it doesn't let me renew my ip address, which is the first step of repairing.
Please help, thanks.
Solved: Connecting To The Internet On My Laptop - WinXP
Hi all again,
I managed to fix the screen problem with my laptop in my last thread, by simply hanging the computer upside down for 2 minutes, then turning it to normal axis.
Now, I'm also having another problem, related to connecting to the internet. I'm no computer wizz, however if I'm told something, I should be able to do it.
So I have a blue ethernet cable, which is plugged in directly to my modem.
I can get internet working on my desktop, however when I plug the ethernet cable into my laptop, I get the following message:
"This connection has limited or no connectivity..."
It recognises that I've plugged in the ethernet cable, however when I go to try to repair the problem, listed under "Network Connections", I get an error message saying that it could not 'renew the ip address'.
I HAVE used this laptop in a way, where I'd just plug in the ethernet cable and the internet would work, (Around 6 months ago) however for some reason it is not working for me anymore.
Help would be appreciated.
Ip Address Is 0.0.0.0 - WinXP
My problem started when my computer froze up. I was unable to move my mouse or do anything else. I turned my computer off and back on, and when it came back on, the first thing I noticed was that the visual theme had changed to one resembling an earlier version of Windows. I eventually found a solution to that.
Now the remaining problem is that I can't connect to the internet. I am "connected" to my wireless network, but it says "limited or no connectivity." My IP address is listed as 0.0.0.0. When I use the "repair" option for my wireless network, it says it can't renew my IP address. It says the problem is probably with the network. Internet Explorer also says that. However, I know the problem is strictly with the computer itself.
When I renew the IP address myself, it just stays the same--0.0.0.0. I can't connect to the internet this way.
I use a Toshiba Portege M400-S5032 with Microsoft Windows XP Tablet PC Edition 2005. I have a Netgear 54 Mbps Wireless Router WGR614 v7. Please be patient with me, as I don't know anything about how wireless networking works, or very many technical terms assosciated with it.
Connected To Network, But No Internet Browsing. - WinXP
I have a Gateway MX6426 laptop. I use XP SP 3.
My issue is that for the past couple days, I haven't been able to browse the internet, despite a good wireless network connection.
The issue started up around the time I use the same laptop as a wireless router to my Xbox 360, using a bridge connection and ethernet cable. I hooked it up fine for a few days, then was in a hurry one day, and I unplugged the cable without unbridging my connections. As far as I remember, that is the only out of the ordinary thing I've done with my laptop.
For awhile it would just say I was connected to the network, and when I would open my browser (Firefox), it would lead to a "Server Not Found" page. I got on two Wii's, and a desktop with a wireless card built in, and accessed the same network with no problem. I used the desktop to search for fixes. I found the comman prompt fixes for redoing the Winsock, IP/TCIP, etc. And nothing was fixed. Now it comes up with the "Limited Or No Connectivity", as well as no internet still.
I also tried uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers. I turned off my firewall, and checked the settings. Nothing. I use Norton for Anti Virus, I tried disabling it. Nothing.
The thing is, it works on any other network, just not this one at my home anymore.
I'm stumped, frustrated, and can't figure it out. Help? (:
Solved: Internet Not Working... - WinXP
The internet on my laptop is not working. i usually connect wirelessly to my wireless router but it doent appear to be working, so i have tried using my yellow ethernet cable and it still will not work, down in the taskbar where the icons are, it has the internet connection icons. when i either use wireless or cable they say that it is connected with excellent signal, but when i open internet explorer it will not load any page and when i try to use the internet in any way(eg, checking for updates for programs) it says there is an internet error.
the internet itself is working because this computer that i am currently using now is connected to the same router.

Windows Xp Cannot Access Wirless Internet - WinXP
Hi all, I'm having some trouble getting my wireless internet up and I need some help. I own a desktop hp pavilion windows xp that i recently reset to factory settings and now I'm having trouble getting wifi. The other computers in my house work fine with the router, and my computer gets internet through an ethernet cable, so I know it isn't the router. I used to use a d-link G rangebooster desktop adapter to get wifi, and I have tried downloading a driver for it but still no luck. Some of the things I have tried are as follows:
-Renewing IP address
-going through new wireless network wizard
-unchecking the "IEEE 802.1x authentication"
-creating a new network for the "preferred network list"
-other random edits that have not worked!
By now I am completely drained and out of ideas...The wireless network connection says signal strength is excellent but status is limited or no connectivity. Any input is appreciated, and thanks in advance :-/

Recently by Mark Sisson: 8 Reasons Why You Act Against Your Own Better Judgment
It's Friday, everyone! And that means another Primal Blueprint Real Life Story from a Mark's Daily Apple reader. If you have your own success story and would like to share it with me and the Mark's Daily Apple community please contact me here. I'll continue to publish these each Friday as long as they keep coming in. Thank you for reading!
My name is Pamela Mathews and I've always been an active person. I also have never been shy when it comes to eating. After three kids (the last one having an emergency C-section) and two arthroscopic knee surgeries on the same knee (six months apart), my weight started to skyrocket. I bought my first pair of size 14 jeans and I weighed 180 pounds. I could no longer play on my city tennis team due to my knee problem. Two doctors told me I needed a knee replacement but they wouldn't perform one until I was 50 years old. I had almost 10 years to go. I couldn't run anymore and I thought my stomach didn't have a chance after my C-section. My husband, David Mathews, and I have a garage gym that we used at least 6 days a week. We also thought we were eating correctly. You know whole wheat bread, whole wheat pasta, black beans and brown rice, Kashi cereal, plain yogurt, meats, fruits and vegetables.
In June 2007, my husband went to a certification. When he returned he said, "Something is not right. The people running the certification are all so lean. We are missing something." David did some research and discovered they were eating Primal. He bought your book, The Primal Blueprint and after reading it he started to eat Primal. He spoke with me about eating this way. He suggested at first I cut out cereal in my yogurt each morning. I did and I lost a little weight but then he told me he was going to eat Primal for good and he wanted me to do the same. I'll have to admit it was not an easy decision for me. I thought long and hard about it for a while. I thought, "This might cause a huge problem between us. If I prepare a meal and he doesn't eat it then I'll be upset." I wasn't sure I could eat Primal for good but David was dedicated to this way of life. I decided I had nothing to lose, I was 41 years old and overweight and I was concerned about developing diabetes.
On November 15, 2007, our 21st wedding anniversary, I went Primal. I made my decision that I was going to give this a month. I cut out all pasta, bread, sugar, beans, and potatoes. I had already eliminated cereal from my diet. I was now eating nothing but meat, vegetables, very little fruit and a few almonds and walnuts. After two weeks, I was looking in the mirror and it looked as if the fat on my midsection was melting away. What an incentive! After one month, I lost ten pounds. The next month, I lost another ten pounds (I had a lot of fat to lose). I ended up losing 40 pounds and since I continued to exercise while I lost weight I became toned. It was amazing!! I was back to wearing a bikini. I never thought I'd see that day again and my jeans are now a size 6.

Last December, pro climbers Joe Kinder and Colette McInerney came to Chattanooga to check out the climbing. While here they put together a short Sterling Rope video about my life climbing with Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS). For those of you who don't know what that is, it's an autoimmune arthritis that affects your hips and back. It's in the same family of diseases as Rheumatoid Arthritis and causes chronic inflammation in the SI joints and the spine as well as lots of stiffness. It can also affect other parts of the body and cause some strange non-related symptoms. Symptoms often come on harsh in flare-ups and get worse with inactivity. If left untreated, the inflammation in the spine can lead to spinal fusion.
I was lucky enough to catch it in an early stage. While it still took more than six years to diagnose from the onset of the first symptom, I suffered minimal damage and have been keeping it at bay with a biologic drug called Enbrel. I give myself a shot once a week. While the drugs have helped drastically, I feel that my active lifestyle — and in particular climbing — has really been the most important part of keeping my symptoms in check. Climbing and the movement has become part of my therapy. I really can't see life without it. It not only helps keep my spine healthy, but is a celebration of something that I have come to think of not as a given, but as a gift: mobility.
Though I still have flare-ups and struggling with bouts of pain, I have a greater appreciation for how lucky I am that I can still climb and still push my limits. I sometimes have to balance my want to climb as much and as hard as I can with what my body can handle during bad times, but I am still able to do what I love, which is more than some people with this disease can say. I hope others with AS will see how climbing has changed my life for the better and strive to find a therapy in movement that I have come to find through climbing.
I had a great time doing the video with Joe and Colette. They're amazing people. Beyond their love of rock climbing, psych and motivation they are both talented behind the lens. As a duo they work seamlessly, making it look like they're not even trying. They share a very unique perspective, and through the lens that comes across. The videos they have been creating get better with each one. I find them to be very impressive and inspiring. Congrats to them on a job well done! Thanks Joe and Colette for making it happen, and thanks to Sterling Rope for standing behind me!
So, here's the video. Would love feedback and please share with other!

Accourding to Mayweather Promotions CEO, Lenard Ellerbe, Pound for Pound champion fighter, FLoyd Mayweather Jr. shall return Setember 16th, and even the location is up in the air, as well as opponent. "We're looking at opponents now," he said. "In the next two weeks we'll have that part figured out." Ellerbe stated to Dan Rafael of ESPN.
"Floyd will go on Sept. 13 and we looking at who he's going to fight and where he is going to fight," Ellerbe said. "Obviously, Las Vegas is his home and the MGM Grand is always the leading candidate but we will take a look at our other options." Always negotiating, the TMT crew, made sure the MGM Grand was put on notice that they may go elsewhere, even though the MGM Grand has showed tremendous loyalty to Mayweather Promotions.
For the opponents, the fans only want Manny Pacquiao or Marcos Maidana rematch, that's it. Team Mayweather although will never give Maidana that negotiating power, and will still dictate the terms as if they are many options to this scenario.

By OGJ editors
HOUSTON, June 15 -- Hyperion Resources Inc., a privately held Dallas exploration and production company, announced plans to build a 400,000 b/d refinery in Union County, SD, or elsewhere in the US Midwest, according to the South Dakota Governor's Office of Economic Development (GOED).
The refinery, part of what the company calls the Gorilla energy complex, would be the first such facility constructed in the US in more than 30 years.
Hyperion Project Executive J.L. Frank confirmed that a tract of land in Union County is one of the sites in the Midwest being considered for the "green energy center." Frank called the Union County site "sufficiently attractive that we've taken several options on land there, and we may take a few more."
The energy center's refinery would produce transportation fuels including ultralow-sulfur gasoline and ultralow-sulfur diesel from heavy oil from Canada.
If built in Union county, the refinery could receive crude from TransCanada's proposed 2,965-km Keystone oil pipeline, which will deliver 435,000 b/d of oil from Hardisty, Alta., to Wood River and Patoka, Ill. (OGJ, Feb. 19, 2007, p. 48). TransCanada has oil pipelines between Patoka to the hub at Cushing, Okla.
The Keystone system, now in approval stages, is scheduled for construction by early 2008 and for operation in late 2009. The part of the proposed system that would extend through South Dakota would cross the Missouri River near Yankton, just 30 miles west of Union County.
Frank, former president of Marathon Ashland Petroleum, said, "Gas prices are the highest in US history, and the US refining infrastructure hasn't seen a significant change since 1976. The fact is, refining capacity in this country has not kept pace with demand."
The Gorilla project, reportedly to cost $6-8 billion, is being touted in the Union County area for its strong economic advantages. The refinery's construction would employ about 4,500 workers over 4 years, Frank said, with a peak work force of about 10,000. When operational, the refinery would employ about 1,800.
The refinery would have an integrated gasification combined cycle plant, fed by petroleum coke from the refinery, to supply electricity, hydrogen, and steam, Frank said. Emissions would be substantially lower than those from conventional power generation plants.
A Hyperion executive involved with the Gorilla project was reported by the Sioux City Journal as saying the company hopes to select a site during the next year. Hyperion has not disclosed information about financing.

An article: Yes. A nice picture on the cover: heck NO.
The last thing we need is for crazies to think if they do something horrible that they will get famous.
Do you think Rolling Stone magazine should have put Boston Bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev on the cover of its August issue?

Who Will Be Haunted by Sheriff's "Ghost"?
Categories: Broward News, Crime
Fortunately for leadfoots, there's only one Ghost Challenger patrolling Broward roads. That means BSO will have to use this powerful new weapon judiciously, on what the military calls "high-value targets."
After the jump, the Broward residents in the most danger of being Ghost-busted.
Broward Commissioner Stacy Ritter: Last budget year, while she was still the county's mayor, Ritter didn't want to raise taxes; Sheriff Al Lamberti didn't want to cut staff. But Ritter's commission held a political gun to his head. So what's to keep a deputy from pointing a radar gun at Ritter's car?
New Times columnist Bob Norman: This past year, the Pulp revealed how the Broward Sheriff's Office command staff was a friend to one of the region's most notorious villains: Scott Rothstein. The Jewish Avenger himself may be in jail, but if Rothstein's deputy friends are loyal, then Pulp should keep an eye on that rearview mirror -- and his speedometer..
Pompano Beach City Manager Dennis Beach: The new guy in town needs a hard lesson in Broward politics, judging by his recent effort to break the city's ties with BSO. If Beach succeeds, the department will have that much more trouble patching together a budget. A speedtrap near Pompano's City Hall just might yield a donation toward that budget from Beach himself.

Valve head Gabe Newell sent a mass email to Steam and Steam Forum users today, providing an update as to investigations into last year's incident that saw forums defaced and the Steam database potentially breached by hackers. While there's still "no evidence" that hackers obtained user data from within the database, Newell warns the company's "learned that it is probable that the intruders obtained a copy of a backup file with information about Steam transactions between 2004 and 2008."
"This backup file," says Gabe, "contained user names, email addresses, encrypted billing addresses and encrypted credit card information. It did not include Steam passwords." While there's still no evidence that credit card data or billing addresses have been compromised, the email urges Steam users to continue monitoring credit card accounts and receipts, as well as ensuring Steam Guard is active.
Newell says the investigation continues, and not to worry if you receive a more official-looking cautionary notice in the days to come: some states require formal notification of these types of investigations, whereas others are happy for a guy to just send a mass-email around.

Fans of Japanese indie games are no strangers to shooters. To be honest, the market is probably a bit oversaturated by these kinds of games, but the reality is that they don't require massive budgets to make. That being said,...

Review: Fairy Bloom Freesia
by Chris Walden
I'm going to go ahead and admit that when I first heard about Fairy Bloom Freesia, I wasn't all too thrilled. Not because it was about fairies or anything, but because it was a doujin attempt at a beat 'em up. This isn't to say that making a game in this genre is an impossible task for anyone that isn't Capcom or Namco, but more often than not indie developers just can't seem to pull off a fun fighter.
Now, this game isn't your run of the mill fighter. You aren't going to be picking characters, walking to one side of the screen and spamming fireballs at someone. Rather, it's a single-player story that has you take control of the titular Freesia, and you are going to be wailing on various monsters and people that threaten your forest. Again, it wasn't selling me.
Then I played it.
It's safe to say that the little fairy has won me over, as her game has certainly got a lot more to offer than you might expect. I highly suggest you check the review out after the jump, especially if you want to see me die a bunch of times in a video of one of the boss fights.view full story + comments

Dodson Targeted By Former U.S. Attorney
By Harold Hutchison
ATF Special Agent John Dodson blew the whistle on Operation Fast & Furious, risking his career and retribution from the Obama Justice Department, which had hoped to use Fast & Furious to push for new restrictions on law-abiding gun owners. Now, the Justice Department's Inspector General is reporting that the Justice Department may have retaliated.
According to a Breitbart News report, former U.S. Attorney Dennis Burke is accused in a report by the IG of leaking a memorandum to tarnish the reputation of Dodson. "We are referring to OPR our finding that Burke violated Department policy in disclosing the Dodson memorandum to a member of the media for a determination of whether Burke's conduct violated the Rules of Professional Conduct for the state bars in which Burke is a member," the report states.
The Report also revealed other Justice Department officials discussed the possibility of trying to tarnish Dodson. The Justice Department was turning to the George Soros-funded Media Matters of America to help deflect criticism and to smear whistleblowers and members of Congress who were investigating the scandal that broke when Customs and Border Protection agent Brian Terry was killed in a firefight in Arizona.

Back From Buffalo
Blogger: Vance
But hey, we had a good time. The journey started in DC, pit stopped in Pittsburgh, through redneck PA/NY and ended up in an Embassy Suites in Buffalo. You know who else ended up at that same hotel? The Colorado Avalanche.
Well we couldn't comprehend it that early in the morning. But when you're standing in line with giant white guys in suits, you kind of suspect something. Ryan O'Reilly apparently enjoys the same kind of omelets I do, OMG THEY'RE LIKE REAL PEOPLE. OMG BEST BREAKFAST BUFFET EVAR!
Thanks to Isabella, the kind and unfortunate soul who had to clean up after us, we found out TJ Galiardi was our neighbor in 408. If only we would've had some fiber optic cable and a webcam, we could've Erin Andrews-ed that guy into Deadspin infamy. Instead we only had afternoon beers and clamored for TJ to wake up and join; he didn't. Apparently he takes those Do Not Disturb signs really seriously.
But all those odds and ends didn't equate to the 4 new friendships we made; Ghislain Hebert, Kevin Pollock, Brad Kovachik, and Mark Shewchyk. Yes, the refs and linesmen. I surely hope that our antics, posturing, and boos didn't compromise our working relationship. Now it wasn't that they sucked one way, no they sucked both ways. They sucked like woah. They Toronto Maple Leaf sucked. But see, I assumed that refs and linesmen were kinda like the British guards, wouldn't smile and acknowledge fan existence at all. Well boy were we wrong. Mid-way through the 2nd period, shortly after Kevin Pollock calls this penalty for something or other, who the hell knows why, he skates over to the glass and linesmen Brad Kovachik comes over to chat. Enter the four of us. Things were shouted, dance moves were made, Pollock cracks a wide grin, but Brad, oh Brad, we were just having fun. There was no need to tell us to "Sit the f*ck down." We run a tight ship here, we would never do or say anything that would warrant such an outburst. Oh but Brad, you totally made our night. I made you this of a picture I took of me and Mr. Pollock, it reminds me of the night, since I don't remember much.
Even though that game ended in a 22 shooter shootout loss for the boys in blue and gold, it was fun, and totally worth it. Now if only I could get seats like that for every game. Oh wait, I can't. Damn.

Tournaments :: news
Rayovac FLW Series - Southeast
Lake Martin (Feb. 26-March. 1, 2003)
Christian blows away Lake Martin EverStart Series competition
Bass-fishing world take note: Tony Christian has arrived. Today Christian furthered his reputation as a big-bass expert when he laid a five-bass limit of 19 pounds, 11 ounces on the scales to win the EverStart event on Lake Martin.
Christian has been red hot on the Wal-Mart Bass Fishing League circuits, and now he is taking the EverStart Series Eastern Division by storm. In 2002, Christian won five BFL events including the regional on Lake Gaston.
The EverStart rookie finished seventh at Lake Okeechobee in January, and now has claimed his first EverStart title in just his second tournament on the trail.
His secret: an uncanny ability to catch big bass.
Christian won the big-bass honors at Okeechobee with a 9-pound, 7-ounce bass.
At Martin he caught a 6-pound, 6-ounce bass on day one; a 4-pound bass on day two; and a 5-pound, 12-ounce fish on day three. Today, he brought in two Lake Martin giants in the 6-pound class.
Christian is from the small town of Hull, Ga., near Athens. He owns a construction business and started tournament fishing five years ago.
"I was a co-angler just a couple of years ago," said Christian. "I fished the BFL last year, and now I am fishing EverStarts. If things keep going good, I'd like to have a crack at the big boys on the FLW Tour. But I am not going to starve myself to death to do this. If things work out, great."
Christian attributes his success to forcing himself to learn fishing techniques, even ones he does not like. "I work hard at learning every technique," he said. "Even if I don't like it, I'll force myself to do it and catch fish with it, mainly because I want to understand what the fish like about that technique."
At Lake Martin, Christian fished a Rapala Shad Rap (#7) in a perch color and a 3/8-ounce jig teamed with a Zoom Swimming Chunk (black/blue) to catch his fish. The bigger fish came on the jig.
Christian fished in Britt Creek all week. He located some submerged laydowns and trees out in about 6 to 8 feet of water. "This stuff was completely under the water," he explained. "I think most of the shallow stuff up on the bank had been beat to a pulp and these trees were out deeper."
Including his $3,000 Ranger Cup bonus and his Garmin Grand Giveaway incentive, Christian took home $14,000 cash and a certificate for a Ranger Boat.
Local takes second
Wayne Waldrop of Alexander City, Ala., fished Martin's deep water for spotted bass all week to make his way into the finals and finish second with a catch of 12 pounds, 9 ounces.
Waldrop focused on deep water brushpiles and deep drops in 20 to 30 feet of water to catch his chunky spots. He used a Texas-rigged black grape Zoom finesse worm with 1/4-ounces weight on 12-pound-test line.
"I had a good limit by 9 a.m.," he said. "I probably should have tried to catch some big largemouth, but fishing deep for spots is my strength on this lake, so I stuck with it all day. Besides, I really wanted my co-angler to catch some."
Another local takes third
Ted Caldwell of Alexander City, Ala., rose to the occasion and came from 10th to finish third with four fish that weighed 11 pounds, 6 ounces. Caldwell used X-wire spinner baits and Davis jigs all week.
He estimates that he was fishing about 40 to 50 places per day. Most of the places were points, brushpiles and docks. "I would fish the points and docks with the jig and throw the spinner bait around the brush," Caldwell said. "I fished from Pleasure Point all the way down to Kowliga Creek."
Johnny Crase of Lexington, Ky., brought in another bag of spotted bass today that weighed 9 pounds, 11 ounces to finish fourth. Crase said he drop-shotted all week on Martin's deeper waters to catch his spots."
David Dudley of Manteo, N.C., finished fifth with 9 pounds, 4 ounces.
Carpenter back on top
Tommy Carpenter of Senoia, Ga., won the Co-angler Division with the day's only co-angler limit of 8 pounds, 2 ounces.
Carpenter lead the event after the first two days, dropped to fourth yesterday and went out on top today. His back-deck secret this week was a green pumpkin Zoom Dead Ringer Texas-rigged with a 3/16-ounce sinker and 8-pound-test line.
Carpenter took home $5,000 for his co-angler win.
Rest of the best
Land O' Lakes co-angler Judy Israel worked a tube and an Awesome crankbait to finish second with 6 pounds, 5 ounces. "This was a satisfying finish because I caught my biggest fish, about a 3-pounder, by flipping, which is a technique I don't prefer to do," she said. "But I am getting better at it."
Bobby Scharber of Pulaski, Tenn., finished third with 5 pounds, 7 ounces.
David Holland of Loganville, Ga., took fourth with 4 pounds, 11 ounces.
Sean Stepp of Dumfries, Va., ended up fifth with 4 pounds, 2 ounces.
A different kind of pain
All anglers know the pain of losing a big fish. But today co-angler Donnie Simms of Talladega, Ala., experienced a different kind of pain – a kidney stone. He had a kidney stone "drop" at about 9 a.m. this morning and was writhing in pain.
Pro Ted Caldwell could not stand to see his co-angler in such agony and called tournament director Chris Jones and told him he was bringing Sims in. Jones arranged to have an observer go back out with Caldwell, and Sims later passed his stone.
Needless to say, Sims did not catch a fish today, but at least he had a good excuse.

Those of us who still get an actual hard copy of Sports Illustrated probably look forward to the weekly players' poll that appears at the front of the book.
This week's SI doesn't disappoint when it asks NHL players, "Who is the best shutdown defenseman?"
Detroit's Nicklas Lidstrom got 25 percent of the votes, narrowly edging out Boston's Zdeno Chara (23 percent). Rounding out the top five are Nashville's Shea Weber (10 percent), former Duck Chris Pronger of Philadelphia (nine percent) and the Ducks' Scott Niedermayer (seven percent).
Interesting that three of the top five (Lidstrom, Pronger, Niedermayer) are 35 or older. Lidstrom actually turns 40 on Wednesday.
Ducks fans will also note that, judging by this poll, the club once had the luxury of sending out two of the top five shutdown D-men to withstand waves of Red Wings forwards with Niedermayer and Pronger.
Weber's blue line partner, Ryan Suter, received two percent of the votes.

WGSX Colloquium Event: Mary Hawkesworth 'Feminization, Commodification, Invisibilization - Gendered Labor in the 21st Century''
In her plenary address to the 1995 United Nations World Conference on Women in Beijing, Noeleen Heyzer, then-Director of UNIFEM, the United Nations Development Fund for Women, pointed out that "women work two-thirds of the world's working hours, but earn only one-tenth of the world's income and own less than one-tenth of the world's property." The striking disparity between hours worked and remuneration received reflects various factors. Two-thirds of the work women do is unwaged (compared to one-quarter of men's work). Occupational segregation by sex concentrates women in the lowest-waged and least-secure positions. Slightly more than 20% of all economically active women are employed in the industrial sector, while 75% are employed in the far less-well paid service sector. Women are overrepresented in the subsistence and informal (unstructured and unregulated) sectors of the economy and underrepresented in the formal sector, where pay levels are higher and fringe benefits may be provided. Women also constitute three-quarters of the part-time labor force, working for very low pay without any job security and little hope of upward mobility. Women continue to suffer systemic pay discrimination. Even in nations with equal pay legislation on the books, women earn less than men. This talk will explore contemporary gendered labor practices and consider their implications for meaningful work, individual self-development, and equitable economies in the twenty-first century.
Part of The 15th Annual WGSX Colloquium is titled "Overworked and Underpaid: Gendered Labor in the 21st Century."

Trader Joes a Rip-off
Posted by
SAN LUIS OBISPO, CALIFORNIA -- I am making a rip-off report about Trader Joes that they have just gone out of control on their price increases. So I wrote to Trader Joes but haven't had an answer. I am still buying from Trader Joes but a lot less and I am telling others about it as well by spreading the word on their prices, this is not discount any more at Trader Joes, so you shop there, it is going to cost more and more money now. Besides the US recession, Trader Joes is not helping people to save, just spend more money so they can profit again and again.
If you have a story to talk about Trader Joes, lets us know.
Dear Trader Joes management:
I am really upset about the price increases at Trader Joes. Pricing have gone up, up and up again, again and again. I have receipts from 2003 to 2008 to verify that within the last year alone that prices have jumped 20% even and almost double on some of your products.
I have also looked online on forum complaint sites like ripoffreport.com, my3cents.com, vox.com, youtube and other sites to view people making the same statements on Trader Joes about the price increases and there are so many complaints on your prices.
I am seeing customers cut back on spending as well and people are not going to Trader Joes as much as I would see people time to time, now even myself, I have questioned the prices not just on gas prices & minimum wage increases but the prices are very upseting besides that.
Please tell me the main reasons for Trader Joes on its increases, it is both the gasoline prices & minimum wages from Congress to push prices so high?
Second, will prices go down when gasoline goes down but also will they go down if the demand is less from people cutting back and is there anything you can bring prices down?
The United States is on a major recession and the economy is really being hurt but companies increasing prices in the last 2 years. San Luis Obispo is not a strong middle class town, it is mostly minimum wage jobs but when you increase your prices again, again and again, you are hurting the customers.
I am cutting but also I am not spending my money at Trades Joes like I have in the past as I am taking notes on the things I bought last year and see the things increased in your store. The prices are so noticeable that I am not buying the things that have increased for example.
I am considering of not shopping at Trader Joes as the prices have gone way too far but the evidence from my receipts and the all the complaints online.

I dunno, I really like Trader Joe's. If you think their prices are too high, don't shop there. I highly recommend their "Roasted Red Pepper and Tomato Soup." It is way good - especially with a dash of McCormick Sea Salt.
Anonymous on 02/14/2008:
And no other grocery store has raised prices since 2003? With the depressed value of the US dollar it costs more to import food. And as you have said fuel and wages have gone up. So who pays? The consumer does. Trader Joes is not known as a discount food market. At least not around here in Maryland.
Out of shear curiosity why are you saving receipts dating back to 2003?
Anonymous on 02/14/2008:
I love Trader Joes and will continue to shop there. All prices have gone up--the more fuel goes up, the more everything else will too (because of transportation costs), as PassingBy has said.
They still have the best prices on organic food of anywhere I've checked. Plus, it's small and quick to get in and out with everything I need for a week.

But they are Trader's???
FoggyOne on 02/15/2008:
"Besides the US recession, Trader Joes is not helping people to save, just spend more money so they can profit again and again. " Sounds like Trader Joe's is a for-profit corporation rather than a charitable organization. If you want to save more money stop spending so much, don't blame Trader Joe's for your spending habits.
jktshff1 on 02/15/2008:
If I am not mistaken, they are in business to make money for their stockholders/owners..as much as they can.
Jimnames on 02/15/2008:
Prices at Trader Joes are not just that simple increases, they are massive. Prices jumped $7.99 to $9.99 or $.59 to $.79, $2.99 now $3.99 are just examples.
Trader Joes is not cutting back on their expenses, they're just increasing and increasing without any real way to help people save on the goods. Who pays the costs, you do, not them. They are expending, they are doing do but no trying to make a difference in the price but a difference to expand.
You spend spend spend but don't realize the increases, even if you cut back but when you hold on to your receipts from 2007 to 2008, then take a look at how much things have gone up. I mean if you bought the average bag of groceries for $29.00, the price now has jumped over %20 $35.00 to $37.00 now.
If you just shop and send but say nothing, the price increases will continue. When people complain, then they take it seriously.
At Trader Joes, you don't get big proportions, they are small proportions. They are not Costco or sell things in bulk, they are small.
Second, hiring illegal immigrants. When you buy from companies who staff illegal immigrants, then the labor is cheaper. Companies are doing this everywhere but are not getting caught. Trader Joes does not have an honest belt when it comes to buying from their producers who staff illegal immigrants, so when you pay more and they are trying to sell at their price but not helping the economy by doing business from companies that staff illegal immigrants.
Sure shop where prices count but also behind the prices too. Anyone can question any activity and see for themselves. You can search online and know that there is questioning behind Trader Joes where US Customs Enforcement needs to step in.

They are expanding; they are doing so to only expand but they are not trying to make a difference in the price but a difference to expand.

I mean if you bought the average bag of groceries for $29.00, the price now has jumped over 20% $35.00 to $37.00 now. Think about people who are making $7.00 an hour with no tips and no health care or anything to get ahead but get set back even further from inflation. Obviously the Federal Reserve is making this country worse than getting better but Trader Joes is a different front of inflation from the online forum sites about them. They moving prices higher than the rate of inflation.
If you just shop and spend but say nothing, the price increases will continue. When people complain, then they take it seriously.
At Trader Joes, you don't get big proportions, they are small proportions. They are not Costco or sell things in bulk, they are small. Everything is so small and you are paying for things that look good and look somewhat like that are more but are not more proportioned then they should be. It is more from less.
Second, hiring illegal immigrants. When you buy from companies who staff illegal immigrants, then the labor is cheaper. Companies are doing this everywhere but are not getting caught. Trader Joes does not have an honest belt when it comes to buying from their producers who staff illegal immigrants, so when you pay more and they are trying to sell at their price but not helping the economy by doing business from companies that staff illegal immigrants. What do you think now, still support them? Impossible, well think, this is California and the daily average of illegal immigrants coming from Mexico is about 2,000 a day, that's the overall average. When you take that number and times 365 days in one year, think how many illegal immigrants that is and so, where do they go (but only about 27,000 to 29,000 of them get deported so look at the real number)? Food producers are the biggest name in the business to hire illegal immigrants, it is not just the name in the business, and it is everyone who doing it. The problem is no one is reporting them in and if so, there is not enough Customs Enforcement.
Sure shop where prices count but also behind the prices too. Anyone can question any activity and see for themselves. You can search online and know if there is questioning behind Trader Joes where US Customs Enforcement needs to step in.
What I am going to do is I am going to video tape their prices, than ask the customers about their prices, then I am going to visit the companies where they buy from and questioned their labors. The post the information on youtube and send the information to the US Customs Enforcement and then I am going to send the material to Congress about prices and inflation factors.
Really American's aren't doing a thing about stopping inflation; they just spend and do nothing. More and more companies are outsourcing labor overseas or hiring illegal immigrants then you wonder why everything in America is made in China. Back in 2003, Newsweek magazine did an article on China and said the only way for America to compete with China is that every manufacture through the entire nation has to cut it's cost by 30% or greater but because American companies don't, we lose and lose where we borrow more and more foreign money like this ridiculous stimulus plan from the President & Federal Reserve where we are told to just spend it on anything, doesn't matter if they are foreign products or anything, just spend it but this $160 billion dollar stimulus is borrowed money from Japan & China anywhere. Really this country is not facing the reality of doing business but instead this country owns more than $900 billion in credit card debt alone (just credit cards but 304 million US people are getting a proportion of $160 billion to spend) where people can't get ahead. California's real estate value is the worse in 20 years according to MSN.com yesterday but we continue to the spend and not stop this countries financial burden. Sure if you want to shop at Trader Joes, then let them move the price to 40% and see what 2009 does, then we will feel the pressure as it is expected that 2009 is a major inflation year according to CNBC markets and Newsweek.
In the last 100 years, the US has had 3 major depression periods caused by inflation factors. America is really losing its GDP where the US money is being diverted to other countries because how we are hiring illegal immigrants, outsourcing our countries products & businesses, outsourcing foreign labor, interest rates & a devaluating dollar and borrowing from foreign banks instead of our own.
Sure if you want to just pay the price at Trader Joes and not complain, we end up with a recession we have now and maybe a depression period afterwards which by then the entire middle class suffers. If you want Trader Joes to change, the best thing to do is complain, complain and complaint till they pair their hair out of there heads until they are tired of hearing about it. Trader Joes is not helping anyone with their increases bottom line. Trader Joes can reduce it's prices, it just doesn't want to so I will think of a way for them to. Watch on Youtube in the next there months and they will see how customers can do something about it.
Ronspano on 08/24/2011:
Jimnames, As others have stated here, Trader Joe's is a for-profit business and they are raising their prices just like every other grocery store has.
Serving less food and charging more, cutting corners when possible to save money...everything you've listed above is the name of the game when it comes to running a successful business. Your gripe is not with Trader Joe's, but the capitalist system here in America that can feel designed to keep us from moving ahead.
(Prices rising, lower pay, lobbyists funneling money into anything but education which keeps people dumb and dumb people make great consumers, etc.)
In some ways you're right, but Trader Joe's isn't to blame here. Instead, fight the system. Don't consume as much. Make your own products when possible. Buy groceries from local suppliers and farms, grow your own. Do this or be fair and complain about every other grocery store in American because they're all doing the same thing.

Frozen Macaroon Cookies Are Awful
Posted by
SILVER SPRING, MARYLAND -- Trader Joe's has lots of good stuff, and some stuff I think is just overpriced and trendy hype. And they often have great desserts, including the Raspberry Macaroon Cake which is to die for. Which, unfortunately they didn't have - another problem with Trader Joe's is, stuff comes and goes - so I tried these frozen macaroon cookies which I thought would be the same quality - 6 different flavors, in the frozen dessert section. I bought 3 boxes as I thought these would be like the raspberry cake.
Absolutely horrid, like dried I don't know what sandwiched together with flavored dried-up gum. Maybe like dried circles of library paste. I was going to return them and demand my money back, but I am really too busy so ended up trashing them - hate losing the money but worse wasting my time over something that should not have been a problem. I only shop at TJ's once in a while, but if I want a cookie I'll go back to my tried and true Walker's Shortbread and LU biscuits that I can get at any big grocery. Just wanted to warn TJ shoppers these cookies are awful. The box makes them look pretty but meh.

Trader Joe's Employees Seem Paranoid!
Posted by
RICHMOND, VIRGINIA -- OK so after two nice comments about stores I unfortunately have to write a complaint. In my area of Richmond, Va. they have opened a Whole Foods and a Trader Joe's less than a mile from each other. My two friends and I visited Whole Foods and I taped my friends interacting with each other and cutting up on camera as well as myself showing some of the stuff Whole Foods had to offer. No problem there.
I came across one of those boards where Whole Foods compared their prices to Trader Joe's buying exact items both stores had and seeing the receipt and pointing out Whole Foods was cheaper. I was impressed and all the more reason to check out Trader Joe's since I had never been to one. So off we went and we entered the store with my camera phone once again rolling and my friends doing the same thing. I cut it off and left my phone open and pointing toward the ground. A very nice lady came toward us and was talking about the store and what it had to offer. I felt we were very comfortable being there.
After the lady had walked off we continued to look at their products and still my phone was open and pointing to the floor. a lady came up and asked me not to film their products. I said I wasn't doing anything wrong and that I wasn't from Whole Foods. She walked off. Another lady came up to us a few minutes later again I had not filmed anything and she said the same thing. this time one of my friends got in her face and said we weren't doing anything wrong. We immediately paid for our purchases with some of the employees looking at us and then we left.
Don't get me wrong I think Trader Joe's is a welcome addition to Richmond as well as Whole Foods but I am wanting people's opinions on this. Why is it OK for a company like Whole Foods or anyone who is wanting to attract business to buying items from their competitor and post both receipts for anyone to see? And why am I in the wrong for filming the store if I am only focusing mostly on my friends.It is not like I am taking picturesd or filming certain products or better yet having pen and paper in hand?
I went on You Tube and some guy filmed his experience at Trader Joe's. He even interacted with the cashier and she said something to the camera. So If I am doing something along the lines of what he did why is that wrong?

many comercial places have a thing about filming their premises.
Anonymous on 10/26/2008:
Trader's Joes is one of the WORST in regard to how they treat animals and perhaps they are wary of cameras in any venue. They are disgusting, profit driven, inhumane pieces of crap. I could give you details, but it would make you sick, and yes, I have seen pictures and videos. Their chickens are some of the worst kept (for eggs?) in the business. This is WELL documented, again, on film. They probably are paranoid because of this in addition being price compared. Sorry for the rant, but I am very passionate about this.
DigitalCommando on 10/26/2008:
Normal people arrive there and select products, bring them to the counter and pay for them. Any activity outside of this should be viewed with suspicion. There is no legitimate need for anybody to be filming inside a grocery store without obtaining the stores permission first.
Ben There on 10/26/2008:
Grocery stores have every right to prohibit filming and photography if they want to. They are there to sell food, not provide a friendly environment for one to film other people. This rule is not only in place to prevent negative images like rotton food from being shown online (be it legitimate or brought in and planted by someone who just wants attention on YouTube), but it also provides a more private and comfortable shopping environment for all the other customers. I don't want to shop in a store with people with pets, without shoes, who are drunk and yelling, or that are filming while I am shopping for bananas.
Anonymous on 10/26/2008:
Have to agree with everyone on the filming. There are plenty of stores that prohibit filming or picture taking and they are well within their rights. As for Whole Foods being cheaper--that is very debatable. I think it would depend what you are buying. Whole Foods may very well have compared only items they knew were cheaper (or on sale at their store). I have to say that I like both stores for different items, but, overall, I find that Whole Foods is usually more expensive. It just depends what you are looking for. I always buy my Thanksgiving turkey from them because they are free-range, fed no hormones and have no flavor enhancers injected into them. Once you try one of these, you won't eat anything else.
heaven17 on 10/26/2008:
I don't know that it was so much them being paranoid or allegedly having something to hide that they didn't want you filming in the store. As a customer, it would make me somewhat uncomfortable and I suspect that was the bigger motivation. Not everybody would think that what you were doing was 'cute'. Find another hobby, huh?

Knitting? I don't know. Obviously photography wouldn't be a good choice. How about stamp collecting?
Starlord on 10/27/2008:
I can think of three places I Have been that have signs posted forbidding photography, as they consider their stores as proprietary. There is Fudrucker's in California, Taco Time in Washington, and IHOP in Arizona. Any business can forbid any activity on their premises.
music4life75 on 10/27/2008:
OK guys and girls I am very thankful for most of the comments on here and value most of your opinions. To reemphasize what I was saying was the fact that Whole Foods bought items from Trader Joe's that Whole Foods had and posted both receipts on a big board in the middle of the store. What I did was not even considered close to what they did or the guy from You Tube who filmed his whole shopping experience and named items he bought and how much he paid for them. He also had an interaction with the sales clerk and she knowingly was filmed. I thought it would be kind of cool for me and two friends to do this since we had never experienced a Trader Joe's before. I never thought employees would be so uncomfortable on me filming my friends albeit for a short length of time and only for my personal use. Keep those comments coming!!!
Anonymous on 10/27/2008:
Music--I totally understand that you were doing the filming just for fun. However, the employees have to uphold the corporate rules that are set forth. I'll bet it didn't have anything to do with them being uncomfortable about it.
Starlord--I wasn't even aware of this policy until a few years ago when my daughter worked for American Eagle and told me about this rule. It seems that most of the stores at the mall where she worked were under the same ruling. It must be pretty widespread. (BTW everyone, this was way before YouTube.)
Ben There on 10/27/2008:
I think most people regardless of where they work would be upset if some random stranger starts filming them at work, unless you work in a place like Disney where filming the employees is probably common. I bet most assume it is because someone is trying to get them in trouble.

KCPD Chief Darryl Forté to discuss police control on KMBC.TV
Kansas City Police Chief Darryl Forté will appear as a guest on KMBC.TV's interactive webcast "The Wrap" tonight at 6:30.
Forté will be elaborating on his latest blog post about keeping the city's police force controlled as is.
Forté said he is in favor of keeping the police department under the control of a Board of Police Commissioners appointed by the Missouri Governor.
On his blog, Forté said if this model "isn't local control, I don't know what is."
Mayor Sly James has appointed a commission to look into the future governance of the police department.
Proponents of changing the control model to city control say it would save Kansas City money.
