Slashdot Tries Something New; Audience Responds!
timothy posted about a year ago | from the there-would-be-this-picture-of-a-cat dept.
2219We've had only a few major redesigns since 1997; we think it's time for another. But we really do take to heart the comments you've made about the look and functionality of the beta site that houses Slashdot's future look. So let's all slow down. Right now, we're directing 25 percent of non-logged-in users to the beta; it's a significant number, but it's the best way for us to test drive this new design, to have you show us what pieces need to be fixed, and how. If you want to move back to Classic Slashdot, that path is available: from the Slashdot Beta page, you just need to select the "Slashdot Classic" link from the footer (or this link). We're committed to keep you informed of the plans as changes are implemented; we can't promise that every user will like every change, but we don't want anything to come as a surprise. Most importantly, we want you to know that Classic Slashdot isn't going away until we're confident that the new site is ready. And — okay, we've got it — it's not ready. We have work to do on four big areas: feature parity (especially for commenting); the overall UI, especially in terms of information density and headline scanning; plain old bugs; and, lastly, the need for a better framework for communicating about the How and the Why of this process. Some of you have suggested we're not listening; on the contrary, some of us are 'listening' pretty much full-time. We're keeping you informed of this process, because we're a community and we want to take everyone with us. But, yes, we're trying something new. Why? We want to take our current content and all the stuff that matters to this community and deliver it on a site that still speaks to the interests and habits of our current audience, but that is, at the same time, more accessible and shareable by a wider audience. We want to give our current audience the space where they are comfortable. And we want a platform where we can experiment with different views of both comments and stories. It's not an either/or. It's going to be both. If we haven't communicated that well enough, consider this post a first step to fixing that. And in the meantime, we're not sorry to have received a flood of feedback, most of it specific, constructive and substantive. Please keep it coming. We will be adding more specific info here in the days to come.

With the district tournament seedings settled beforehand, the thrill of Friday night's showdown between Bradley Central and Ooltewah was gone before the opening tip off, at least as far as the Bears were concerned.
Coach Jesse Naydeley kept the fact that his Owls had already wrapped up the top spot in this week's District 5-AAA Tournament from his squad to give incentive to play hard in hopes of going into the postseason on a high note.
The strategy, combined with Bradley's knowledge it couldn't claim the regular season title, worked to Ooltewah's favor for a 44-30 victory as the Bears posted the lowest point total in coach Kent Smith's 17 years at BCHS.
"It wasn't so much what they (Ooltewah) did, but rather what we didn't do," bemoaned Smith. "We only had nine points (in the final 16 minutes), plus we gave up way too many offensive rebounds."
"We've got to put this week behind us and get ready for the tournament, which should be a good one," he declared. "The district (tournament) will be wide open. Everybody goes back to 0-0 and anybody could win it."
Although the Bears are having to regroup for the postseason, the Bradley girls looked more like their old selves with a 69-29 "mercy rule" whipping of the Lady Owls to record their 37th straight victory over a 5-AAA opponent.
"I'm proud of the way these seniors went out (in their final regular season home game)," praised Bearette coach Jason Reuter. "Hopefully we'll have a couple of more home games (in the opening round of the region and the TSSAA substate) for them to play here (at Jim Smiddy Arena)."
The fourth-ranked Bearettes (23-2, 12-0) wrapped up their second straight undefeated district slate and have not lost a regular season or tournament game to a 5-AAA opponent since January of 2011.
As the top seed in the district tournament this week at the Raider Dome, the Bradley girls will await the Walker Valley/Rhea County winner in Saturday's semifinals.
Although the postseason gets underway Wednesday, the Bears (14-11, 8-4) won't take to the hardwood untill Thursday evening, when they face sixth-seeded McMinn County (8-16, 3-9).
After coming into the week with hopes of a regular season title on the line when the Owls (17-8, 10-2) came to town, an upset on a last-second shot Tuesday night at Walker Valley meant Bradley could do no better than a No. 3 seed in this week's District 5-AAA Tournament.
With both teams missing a starter for disciplinary reasons, the Bears had control early, limiting the Owls to just a game-opening 3-pointer in the first period while building a double-digit lead.
The visitors missed 13 straight shots while Bradley pumped in 13 points, including 3-pointers from senior Matt Whitmire, plus juniors Taylor Bentley and Baylor Terrell.
A switch turned in the second frame as the Bears made just one of their first seven shots while Ooltewah trimmed the lead to six points. The hosts righted the ship momentarily to maintain a five-point edge at the intermission.
Changing their defense from a zone to a man-to-man, the Owls came out of the break with a renewed energy with Ben Snider blocking a Bear shot and getting the ball out for a fastbreak basket by Tucker Bass to start the third frame. Bass then drained back-to-back 3s to sandwich a Whitmire shot from the lane as Ooltewah took the lead just over two minutes into the second half and never gave it back.
Whitmire hit another basket four minutes later to account for all of Bradley's scoring in the frame, while the Owls went 8-for-11 from the field, including a trio of "treys," in the eight-minute span for a 10-point advantage heading into the fourth period.
With the double-digit lead, Ooltewah slowed the tempo down in the final frame, taking just six shots from the field, making half of them. Meanwhile Bradley's struggles continued as a pair of baskets by sophomore Daniel Clark and a free throw by senior Bryce Copeland was all the hosts could muster from their 13 shots.
"We couldn't score in the second half. The basket had a lid on it," commented coach Smith.
Whitmire was the only Bear to score more than five points, reaching double figures with 11 points, to go with a half dozen rebounds.
Copeland, who averages 20 a game, was held to just three points, while clearing five caroms and handing out a pair of assists. Bentley also netted just a lone 3-pointer and snagged a half dozen boards, while Terrell finished with five points and a couple of helps.
As a team, Bradley hit just 9-of-30 shots from in front of the arc and only 3-for-17 from beyond it for a 26 percent success rate.
Ooltewah had three players to net double figures as Antonio Jackson led the way with 15, followed by Bass with 11 and Andrew Ware with 10.
As has been their pattern lately, the Bradley girls started out a little slow, holding just a 15-13 edge at the first horn, but then turned it up the defensive pressure to hold Ooltewah (5-19, 2-10) to just 16 points the rest of the night.
After a surprisingly close opening period — Ooltewah 6-for-16 from the field with five turnovers, while Bradley went 7-for-15 with a half dozen miscues and both teams cleared nine rebounds — the rest of the game went as expected with the Bearettes steadily building their lead.
Taking advantage of eight Lady Owl turnovers and holding them without a field goal for nearly six minutes, Bradley led by 13 points at the half.
Ten more Ooltewah miscues in the third frame and hitting just two of the nine shots it was able to get off helped the Bearettes to stretch the lead to 20 heading into the final frame, where the hosts closed the game out with a 23-3 run.
Despite facing a fellow 6-foot-2 post in Ooltewah's Leondra Barrett, the junior "Twin Towers" of Brooke Copeland and Rebecca Reuter led the way for Bradley with a combined 32 points and 19 points. Copeland topped the effort with 20 points and a dozen caroms, plus had six steals and five assists. Reuter collected 12 points, seven boards, had a trio of steals and blocked three shots.
Senior Kayla Withrow drained a trio of "treys" on her way to 11 points, three rebounds and a pair of helps, while classmate Brandi Whitted garnered five rebounds, four points and three steals.
Junior point guard Whitney Donaldson added seven points and four assists to the victory, while junior Lindsey Davis and senior Baylor Carroll contributed six and five points respectively.
"We were able to get a lot of transition baskets off their (34) turnovers, most of which our defense caused," coach Reuter assessed. "It's been a while since we had a win like this and we needed it heading into the tournaments."
Barrett netted a baker's dozen (13) and grabbed nine rebounds for the Lady Owls.

While away in Bristol last weekend, I was able to shop in Clifton village. A lovely area of Bristol full of boutique shops, lovely squares and yummy cafes.
Before I share lots more about my second day in Bristol, I would like to share a sign which I could not resist purchasing. It is for my Show and Tell, it is also the sort of thing I am Hooked On, and which I find Beautiful.
It is another of those items that my long-suffering husband just doesn't "get" but he tolerates them for my sake
It appeals to my as it is shabby, quirky and vintage in style, and a bargain at £5 (about $8).
So on to my trip. Saturday was one of the Race for Life 5k an all-female walk/run for cancer charities. I must have been one of the few women NOT entered. Nearly everyone wore a label on their back saying who they were doing the race in honor of, and it was emotional just reading some of the personal messages.
As I was taking photos of the start of the race, to my amazement my friend Debbie spotted me from behind my camera, and called to me. I took this shot which although slightly out-of-focus it sums up Debs enthusiasm for life, and the great atmosphere too!
A few more of the runners – all ages, shapes,sizes and costumes took part too.
I then walked across the Downs, past the zoo, and along many of the paths I had walked 4 years ago when we lived here. I must admit part of me wished we still lived in this lovely city, where we made so many great friends.On to Clifton village, with it's suspension bridge (you have to pay a toll to cross it by car), its' lovely georgian houses, leafy squares and quirky shops.
This arcade is very similar to the ones I have visited in Paris, with wonderful window displays and unusual items.
I was particuarily taken with this mexican wedding mirror (anyone know why it is called a wedding mirror?).Finally, after a visit to the fountains and Habitat I briefly considered a visit to the Bristol City Museum. However a new exhibition by a graffiti artist (apparently famous, but not to me!) had just oipened so the queues were horrendous.
This post is the post that just keeps going! I think I will leave Day 2, Part 2 until another post as yes, there is more……
Until then, take care.
For more show and tell visit Kellie at There's No Place Like Home
For what other people are hooked on visit Hooked on Houses
For more Beautiful Things visit The Inspired Room.

I really like that happily ever after sign!! I'm sure your long-suffering husband will deal with it. If he's anything like my man, he won't even notice it when you hang it up
looks like you had a great time! great photos!
Great photos and I love the sign
I really like your sign! Can't wait to see a photo of it hanging in or on your home. Fabulous photos! I loved seeing the places you have visited.
Good purchase. I always enjoy your photos.
JanMary …
Your photos are once again, achingly wonderful. Your camera lens 'snips' out the most fascinating, interesting bits. I wish I could be at that nice green quiet spot, and I love the street scenes with all the different doorways etc. The headdress above the wedding mirror is something I'd love to own but never wear.
Thank you for the 'eye treats' today – I'm so glad I sneaked over here before my man says its time to go. LOL Ok – getting the toe tapping in the background, time to wrap up.
Have a loverly weekend!
Great pictures..love it. I love the happily ever after sign..lovely..
Happy Friday'
Lots of luv,
Ita -
Absolutely….I too love the "They lived happily ever after". Cute!!!
Great trip photos shared also.
The direct link to show n tell is HERE
If your husband really can't deal with the sign, I'll pay for the postage to Australia…! I just love it. Nothing better than words for your walls
Sounds like you had a wonderful visit to the town and found your wall hanging, too! May God bless you to live happily ever after.
Sigh – I love it when you post photos. It's the next best thing to being there.
I like the look of that bridge. Have you ever noticed how some amateur photographers like me have a thing for certain objects: Barns, Churches, Bridges, Houses, Artwork, etc. I seem to have a lot of Churches and Bridges in my collection.
Thank you for sharing your trip. I like all of the photos.
And I like the sign. Men don't get it, do they? But we make the home which they must find inviting or they wouldn't live there. All the little personality touches that make our nest, ours. Someone walked into this new house and seeing the decorating I have done so far said, "Now this looks like you." Funny, I knew just what she meant.
Mama Bear -
Love all your photos. I really like that next to the last photo. The one with the head piece, looks a scarf maybe. It's beautiful! Have a great day!Sherrie
http://mygardeningwoes.blogspot.com/2009/06/show-and-tell-friday_19.html -
That sign is wonderful! Thanks for sharing all of your beautiful and inspiring photos!
have a wonderful weekend!
melissa -
It looks beautiful, I'll have to add Bristol to my list of cities to visit. I'll admit it wouldn't have been one I'd have thought of myself but your photos make it look stunning.
I've no idea about the mirror, sorry:) but I do like that sign you picked up.
amazing shots. I am impressed – as ever!
wow i love all photos!!!!! vristol looks so wonderful! and i love the labels *want it, need it lol*
I love your new sign…such a sweet saying!

HOPKINS COUNTY, Ky. (5/8/13) – Barbara Jean Preston Swain passed away April 29th.
I didn't know Barbara.
But back to Barbara Jean. You knew I'd start calling her by her first and middle name soon as you read that first sentence didn't you? We getting to know each other just a tad bit too well I think! Me and you, the reader. Not me and Barbara Jean, she's gone.
Happens just about every day in Hopkins County. Someone dies.
I said I wouldn't, but I've become that person. I look at the obituaries. Unlike others though, I don't do it to see if I died. I figure the first person to know if I'm dead or not will be me.
But I got side-tracked. Barbara Jean passed away and I didn't know her. I did however know her work. And here in a minute or two you going to hit your head like you drank one of them V8 Juices. Not the new fruity flavored ones, but the old fashioned tomato based ones. Isn't it amazing how some commercials get stuck in our heads? How many years has it been since those, "I could have had a V8!" commercials aired? Yet today it's a commercial gimmick that more people know that don't know.
Whoops, got side-tracked again.
Barbara Jean had something in common with Hopkins County Genealogical Society President Jane Ann Jackson. Jane Ann's working on a book that developed from her guest speaking at the Historical Society meeting, twice if you don't remember, earlier this year. Jane Ann gave a two part presentation on historic or noteworthy homes of Madisonville. She along with photographer Tom Wortham, who photographed most the homes for a series of covers for the newspaper TV section, combined their talents to give the homes character. Jane Ann is reworking the bios of the homes and compiling the info in to a new book that will be available locally.
I can't wait to see the finished product.
Now… where was I? Oh yes. Barbara Jean.
Here's what jumped out at me about Barbara Jean. She was the artist who drew sketches of the homes for the guide and newspaper use of the Madisonville homes on the annual Holiday Tour of Homes. See you just slapped your head and said… Oh, I know her!
Never met Barbara Jean. Sure have seen her work. Admired her work. She was very talented. Told you, them Barbara's were talented people.
In reading her obituary it asked that donations be made to the Alzheimer's Association. Safe to assume a few people might have thought Barbara was crazy at some point. Not me, I just think she got side-tracked at times or was looking for water. Now you are gonna sit there a minute and that one's gonna hit ya. While I wait on ya, I'm gonna have a V8.
I wish I had met Barbara Jean.
Barbara Jean reminds me of a song Miranda Lambert put out on one of her earlier albums. "Everyone Dies Famous in a Small Town." One of my buddies was in the video for it. He used to drive race cars and owns a tire shop. They filmed inside the tire shop and made him an extra. He gets spotlighted in the video. One day his obit's going to be seen and one little line in there is going to say he was in a Miranda Lambert video and somebody's going to realize they knew him without having ever actually met him.
I don't know if she knows it or not, but Barbara Jean died famous.
If she didn't read her obit, maybe she'll read this and realize she was famous.
Barbara Jean, I'm sorry I didn't meet you in person and shake your hand and compliment your work. It impressed me as a youngster growing up in Madisonville. And I also thank you for reminding me that as one of my favorite singers sings, Everybody's Got a Story to Tell, we should stop and take time to record and document those everyday people around us, because everyone does have a story to tell. And we all die famous in a small town.
If everyday people and places interest you let me extend an invite to you to come to a meeting of the Historical Society or Genealogical Society, or both! Tonight's a good night for just that as a joint meeting is taking place in the form of a special presentation at the Arts Center, better known as the old Madisonville Train Depot on Arch Street behind City Hall. Be there just a tad before 7 to get a seat as both groups along with the Madisonville/Hopkins County Library present writer Eddie Price, who will discuss his book "Life & Love on the Kentucky Frontier". Doesn't cost a thing to come listen.

Limited Edition Diana F+ Camera with Flash and Film:
Third image depicts the quality of photographs produced by this camera.
Material: Plastic and glass
Care: Dust with a dry cloth
Brand: Lomography
Origin: Imported
In the early 1990s, two students from Vienna, Austria, came across the quirky Russian Lomo Kompakt camera. Inspired by the artful photos it produced (which had saturated colors, overlay effects, and a subtle, vintage-y graininess), they started creating new analog cameras — making an indelible impact on the world of photography. Pick one up and get inspired to tell your life story in pictures. Of special note is the Spinner, which takes 360-degree-view photos; it'll be the hit of your next party. Other hits include the Diana, the Holga and the Fisheye.

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

and hoohah, or is there a way either for it to be harnessed or for it to
breed chaos, here or abroad. We need to look at this the same way we look
at jasmine, or at european youth protestsn or arab springers or at foreign
ngo-backed indigenous groups blocking latin american roads with trees. Are
they a noisy bit of society, or is there anything that points to power or
influence. My old man rant was an attempt to highlight the state of the
movement and the conflicts of their attitudes and goals. As I noted in the
first message, the "leaderless" movement is an interesting concept we see
more often now. Is there a way for it to change systems or at least
disrupt? Is there more than a political impact? How does it transform into
political power? I'll refrain from too much discussion of their hypocrasy
and immature views of how the world works, but those are also important
factors to understanding whether this can be more than disgruntled campers
in public parks.

Subject: Re: S3* - Wall Street protests go global
These are the same people who have been protesting against globalization
for years. Think G-7, WEF. May Day London and Battle of Seattle protests.
They lost a lot of momentum after 9/11, and after Obama's election, but
they appear to be picking up a little steam now. But they still have not
quite recaptured the energy like we saw in 1999 in Seattle, London/Davos
in 2000, or the 2001 G-7 in Genoa.

What does overturn the system even mean? There is no goal aside from
something different than now. If you interviewed 15 of them at random from
the same protest, and asked them not what they were against, but what they
were for, you would get 30 differs answers. This is not a group. It is
barely a movement. It may be cooped at some point, but I have watched
opposition movements around e world, and the only thing that holds them
together is their opposition to whatever they see now. If they ever get
traction, they turn on each other and fracture rapidly. Look at obama's
base. Where did it go? Look at the ROK when Kim DJ and even more so Roh MH
took charge. They both fell flat as their supporters had no idea what to
do when they won. They only knew what they opposed. Try to find any
coherent alternative plan that could function in reality among the current
occupies. If you do, you may find that person gets booed as well, because
reality isn't what they are demanding. There is some perception of
entitlement. That because they went to college they somehow deserve
starting salaries of $60K at some amorphous entity that obviously doesn't
harm the environment and is full of social justice. They demand a better
house and standard of living than their parents, completely ignoring that
it took their parents decades to achieve what they have achieved. They
make claims like "there are no jobs because the bankers have all e money."
yes, they are frustrated, but they are also living in a false reality. It
is funny. On the liberal news, back to back, is a story about how
immigration laws are leading to a shortage of workers in agriculture and
service and hospitality. The next story is a bunch of white guys on the
street demanding jobs and claiming there aren't any. Huh. There are jobs.
These guys aren't willing to start at the bottom and work up. Or perhaps
they got degrees in fields that are really not needing so many people.
Japan, ROK, and now China are already having this cycle of too many
college educated and not enough skilled labor or even unskilled labor. Is
there really a need for every American to and college and be an
intellectual? Who builds stuff? Who grows food? Who cleans the streets?
How many of these people protesting have parents who didn't get to go to
college, yet built themselves up through work? Isn't that how it used to
be done in America? I had a useless college degree, but I didn't protest
that I wasn't handed a free job just out of college. I went abroad for a
year to teach and volunteer. I worked at a temp agency in the states, did
flag man work, worked in a warehouse and taught daycare (where I learned
all my personnel management skills). The point is, I may have wanted a
nice job chasing dolphins but I didn't feel the world owed it to me. I
felt that the world owed me a shot, buT not the job. Seriously, what are
the occupies proposing as an alternative? What policies have they thought
of? How will they be funded? Are they looking to throw a Maoist style
revolution and overthrow the upper class? That worked really well for
china. As for their significance, they are noisy and disruptive, but are
they a force? Is there a way to harness them to accomplish anything? What
does victory look like? How do they afford to spend weeks camped out in
parks? Where is their funding coming from? How does one turn them even
into a voting bloc, given the desperate views and ideas?

The central theme is the idea that there is inequality and it is so
because the elites have rigged the system to guarantee it. There are
only so many seats at the table, and more and more people are feeling as
though they don't have one. I think typically (not always)someone who
cares about the environment, poor people, immigrant rights, and wants
universal health care, etc have more in common with each other than they
do with say, gun owning, trickle-down, anti-immigration, global warming
is a myth crowd. Of course, and Stratfor is a perfect example, people
can be all over the place intellectually, ie socially liberal and
fiscally conservative, but it isn't common in my view. I also think the
protestors, although they haven't taken an official line, are already
self-censoring themselves to a message. At the Austin protest, people
who spoke whom the crowd didn't agree with were booed, and typically
everyone booed the same person. The point being, natural selection will
occur. I think inclusion is a good strategy at this point, and the two
dangers facing the movement are petering out, or being co-opted by
obama, and the "left." When you think about the numbers of people who
are unhappy enough with the current economic/political system in the
United States, it is interesting to add the numbers of Tea Party members
and Occupiers together. When you look at them as one group of people
wanting to overturn the current system, the numbers are more impressive,
although obviously not at critical mass. Add that to protesters all
over the world in the past 8 months, and think about what is about to
happen in Europe, and I don't think you can discount the rising

If you watch the way these guys are "organized" it is very reminiscent

even care what the individuals stand for or against, so much as they
simply gather. Once the gatherings have taken on a critical mass,
then, perhaps, an organizer somewhere can take advantage of it and
begin shaping it toward their political/social end. Note that there is
no leader, no central message, no spokesman, no apparent funding, just
people. It appears on the surface as a spontaneous outpouring of
social or political angst, yet underneath, there is the stirring
communication channels that instigate and rally the movement to keep
going, spread, and take on localized initiative and coordination. I
wonder if it is sustainable enough for anyone to ultimately take hold
and shape it, or if it continues as a bunch of loosely related
amorphous masses of political and social whining.

Wall Street protests go global
15 Oct 2011 12:24
Source: reuters // Reuters
* Protests ripple from east to west
* Biggest demonstration expected in Rome
* "Occupy the London Stock Exchange" rally (Recasts with Rome
protests, other details)
By Philip Pullella
ROME, Oct 15 (Reuters) - Demonstrators worldwide shouted their rage
on Saturday against bankers and politicians they accuse of ruining
economies and condemning millions to hardship through greed and bad
Galvanized by the Occupy Wall Street movement, the protests began in
New Zealand, rippled round the world to Europe and were expected to
return to their starting point in New York.
Most rallies were however small and barely held up traffic. The
biggest anticipated was in Rome, where organisers said they believed
100,000 would take part.
"At the global level, we can't carry on any more with public debt
that wasn't created by us but by thieving governments, corrupt banks
and speculators who don't give a damn about us," said Nicla Crippa,
49, who wore a T-shirt saying "enough" as she arrived at the Rome
"They caused this international crisis and are still profiting from
it, they should pay for it."
The Rome protesters, including the unemployed, students and
pensioners, planned to march through the centre, past the Colosseum
and finish in Piazza San Giovanni.
Some 2,000 police were on hand to keep the Rome demonstrators, who
call themselves "the indignant ones", peaceful and to avoid a repeat
of the violence last year when students protesting over education
policy clashed with police.
As some 750 buses bearing protesters converged on the capital,
students at Rome university warmed up with their own mini-demo on
Saturday morning.
The carried signs reading "Your Money is Our Money", and "Yes We
Camp," an echo of the slogan "Yes We Can" used by U.S. President
Barack Obama.
In imitation of the occupation of Zuccotti Park near Wall Street in
Manhattan, some protesters have been camped out across the street
from the headquarters of the Bank of Italy for several days.
The worldwide protests were a response in part to calls by the New
York demonstrators for more people to join them. Their example has
prompted calls for similar occupations in dozens of U.S. cities from
Demonstrators in Italy were united in their criticism of Prime
Minister Silvio Berlusconi and angry at his victory in a vote of
confidence in parliament on Friday.
The government has passed a 60 billion-euro austerity package that
has raised taxes and will make public health care more expensive.
On Friday students stormed Goldman Sachs's offices in Milan and
daubed red graffiti. Others hurled eggs at the headquarters of
UniCredit , Italy's biggest bank.
New Zealand and Australia got the ball rolling on Saturday. Several
hundred people marched up the main street in Auckland, New Zealand's
biggest city, joining a rally at which 3,000 chanted and banged
drums, denouncing corporate greed.
About 200 gathered in the capital Wellington and 50 in a park in the
earthquake-hit southern city of Christchurch.
In Sydney, about 2,000 people, including representatives of
Aboriginal groups, communists and trade unionists, protested outside
the central Reserve Bank of Australia.
"I think people want real democracy," said Nick Carson, a spokesman
for OccupyMelbourne.Org, as about 1,000 gathered in the Australian
"They don't want corporate influence over their politicians. They
want their politicians to be accountable."
Hundreds marched in Tokyo, including anti-nuclear protesters. In
Manila, capital of the Philippines, a few dozen marched on the U.S.
embassy waving banners reading: "Down with U.S. imperialism" and
"Philippines not for sale".
More than 100 people gathered at the Taipei stock exchange, chanting
"we are Taiwan's 99 percent", and saying economic growth had only
benefited companies while middle-class salaries barely covered
soaring housing, education and healthcare costs.
They found support from a top businessman, Taiwan Semiconductor
Manufacturing Corp (TSMC) Chairman Morris Chang.
"I've been against the gap between rich and poor," Chang said in the
northern city of Hsinchu. "The wealth of the top one percent has
increased very fast in the past 20 or 30 years. 'Occupy Wall Street'
is a reaction to that."
Demonstrators aimed to converge on the City of London under the
banner "Occupy the Stock Exchange".
"We have people from all walks of life joining us every day," said
Spyro, one of those behind a Facebook page in London which has drawn
some 12,000 followers.
The 28-year-old, who said he had a well-paid job and did not want to
give his full name, said the target of the protests as "the
financial system".
Angry at taxpayer bailouts of banks since 2008 and at big bonuses
still paid to some who work in them while unemployment blights the
lives of many young Britons, he said: "People all over the world, we
are saying: 'Enough is enough'."
Greek protesters called an anti-austerity rally for Saturday in
Athens' Syntagma Square.
"What is happening in Greece now is the nightmare awaiting other
countries in the future. Solidarity is the people's weapon," the
Real Democracy group said in a statement calling on people to join
the protest.
In Paris protests were expected to coincide with the G20 finance
chiefs' meeting there. In Madrid, seven marches were planned to
unite in Cibeles square at 1600 GMT and then march to the central
Puerta de Sol.
In Germany, where sympathy for southern Europe's debt troubles is
patchy, the financial centre of Frankfurt and the European Central
Bank in particular wereare expected to be a focus of marches called
by the Real Democracy Now movement.

They don't enforce it but the reason they offered it on PS3 was to keep from getting sued by people who could not get Directv because of location or line of sight or regulations. They made it available to anyone who really wants it. They do not want to expand distribution because that would hurt the ad revenue of the network affiliates which would make their product worth less to the TV networks. That would be killing the goose that laid the golden eggs.
But in canada due to laws it can't be exclusive and In the us the cable co maybe able to push for new laws to end the exclusive part.

The 2013 Atlantic hurricane season is expected to be similar to the 2012 season, according to a recent hurricane forecast from Colorado State University.
Professor William Gray and research scientist Philip Kloztbach say they expect 18 named storms, of which nine will form hurricanes, according to a news release.
Of the nine storms, four will become major hurricanes with sustained winds of 111 mph or greater.
The storm prognosticators said they based their forecast on the lack of an El Niño.
A weak El Niño features warm water temperatures in the Pacific Ocean, which tend to push damp weather east.
The CSU researchers say there is a 72 percent chance that a major hurricane of Category 3 strength or higher could make landfall along the entire U.S. coastline.
That goes down to 48 percent for the U.S. East Coast including peninsular Florida.
Last year, there were 19 named storms, nine of which became hurricanes.
2012 also marked the seventh consecutive year that a hurricane didn't make landfall in Florida.
The hurricane season runs from June 1-Nov. 30.

When it comes to pizza, I don't discriminate. From easy takeout with a hot and fresh crust from Homemade Pizza, or crispy, thin varieties from places like Piccolo Sogno and Café Spiagga to my soft spot for Giordano' s deep-dish spinach, and of course, the traditional Neapolitan Style pizza at Spacca Napoli, there is a time and place for each one.
So, to pull me in yet another pizza direction, I recently tried the pies at Tesori, located right next to The Chicago Symphony at 65 East Adams Street, and was blown away by the incredible flavor and thin, crisp yet airy crust. My brother and I had the funghi misti – wild mushrooms, mozzarella, caciocavallo and white truffle oil, and the taleggio – honey and cracked black pepper. We passed the two pizzas back and forth, trying to decide our favorite, but I think it was a dead heat.
Tesori Chef Andrew Deuel goes back to his Italian influence when it comes to the pizza style he creates. The pies are in between a traditional Naples-style pizza with its light, charred exterior and chewy center and crisp, Roman-style. Chef Deuel attended the Italian Culinary Institute for Foreigners, where he obtained his Masters in Italian Cuisine, and worked at Ristorante San Domenico – the Michelin Guide two-starred restaurant, during his time in Italy.
There is a full menu and restaurant as well, but I loved the bar atmosphere, as it seemed to pack 'em in after work. What a nice spot for a glass of wine, pizza and bar bites before heading home. And of course, don't leave without trying Pastry Chef Tina Tomasello's bombolini – milk chocolate filled doughnuts, espresso panna cotta and praline crunch – the perfect sweet treat to end the meal.

Reviewed by Automobile Magazine on 8/18/2010
Top speed, unfortunately, is a largely academic exercise in the USA anyway. At least it was in Monterey, California and environs during the busy Monterey Historics Weekend, when we had a chance to get behind the wheel. The XKR175 did manage to turn a few heads, no mean feat given the other-worldly level of competition-basically, it's the kind of scene where a single traffic jam might include a Ferrari F50, a Lamborghini Murcielago, a Porsche 911 Turbo and a 356, a smattering of vintage Alfas, and a Mercedes SL65 Black Series.
The XKR175 does not wear a whole lot of exterior enhancements, so any attention it does grab really speaks well of the standard XK coupe, which is now going on its sixth year. For the record, the XKR175 adds Absolute Black paint; more extreme front and rear spoilers, lower body extensions, and rear diffuser; and red brake calipers that peek out from behind special, ten-spoke 20-inch wheels. Inside, there's charcoal leather with dark red stitching, black veneers, and door sill plates that say, "XKR175 - 1 of 175" (although we're not sure what the Canadian cars say-maybe, "XKR175 --1 of 15, eh").
If the package isn't terribly special, the XKR itself certainly is. A new, aluminum-block, 5.0-liter V-8, introduced for 2011, bristles with 510 hp and 461 pound-feet of torque. A quick shove of the gas pedal is all it takes to fast-forward the scenery, to the accompaniment of a nice, subdued growl rather than a supercharger whine. Jaguar advertises a 0-to-60 time of 4.6 seconds, but the car feel faster. Happily, the R-spec brakes scrub off speed in a hurry. The six-speed automatic, with standard shift paddles, is so quick, so rev-matching racy, and so smooth around town, that you'll never wish for a dual-clutch gearbox again. The ride is fairly decent, despite the 20-inch wheels and the ultra-wide rubber, and the steering shows no hint of tramlining. A bit more steering effort, however, would be appropriate for this sporting machine.
The cabin is a bit closed in, particularly in charcoal gray, with high window line and limited rear-quarter visibility. At least it's well finished inside. Jaguar has recently given the XK the twist-knob gear selector introduced on the XF, and frankly it's a less sporting solution than a typical gear lever. We're also not enamored of the highly animated touch screen, which demands too much of the driver's attention and has sucked up too many functions better left to individual knobs and switches.
Still, the XK, and particularly the XKR, is a more serious sports GT car than its image suggests. With its black paint, more aggressive aerodynamic aids, and distinctive wheels, the XKR175 -- which is available only as a coupe -- better represents the Jaguar within. The extra top speed would make a better bragging point if it weren't 1 mph shy of the car's name, but perhaps exclusivity alone is reason enough to make buyers pony up the extra $8500 over a standard XKR.

Very sexy Kris!
Hello, my friend. Glad to see you are doing well and exploring another side of your sexuality.
I can see you still have some HOT feet, that I'd love to lick all over, given the chance.
Yeah, I'd love to change your diaper and be your hot daddy...
You feelin' dirty?
Kris, we have gone from your super hero underwear to diapers. If I changed you I don't think we would needing to replace the diapers. Welcome back.
I got my own diaper bag with wipes and powder and extra diapers i carry with me. I also have a mini powder and mini wipes with an extra diaper or two that i carry in mini bags that i carry other shit in like my cell charter/nintendoDS.
Haha! Sweet! And you already made use of them
Awesome dude!!!!
^ I really regretted putting those online... I still have all of them and pic but I'm not gonna re-release them. I've had alot of people on diff fans say they are such a fan of it.. Still I dont want more close people to me knowing about that because I get it all the time the boy who shits in a sneaker and on a skateboard. I had to get a new board because of that!! GoldenBoyUK is my fave and the only other boy that really looks good and is twinkish and I think his performances are far better. Go look him up. Mine are still up on a torrent somewhere, I've been trying to get it taken down for a long time.

Social media plans delivered
Students in Dr. Joanna Phillips-Melancon's Spring 2012 Social Media Marketing classes (MKT 331) completed semester-long social media plans for New Beginnings Therapeutic Riding, an organization that helps individuals with physical, mental, behavioral, and social challenges through horseback riding.
Students made presentations of their social media marketing plans to faculty, students and the staff of New Beginnings on May 1 and May 3. The winning marketing plan was created by the team of Brittany McNabb, Laura Johnson, Jonathan Stone, Clay Simpson, and Sydnee Seaman from the 11:10 class.
The 9:35 class winners, pictured from left to right with Michele Vise, program director at New Beginnings and Julie Petersen, founder of New Beginnings, were Sarah Bonner, Sarah Root, Katrina Metoyer, Mario Nguyen, Drue Eberhardt, Hollie Reed.
Projects such as this help the students connect to the "real world" through their work with these organizations and the projects provide professional level marketing assistance to these organizations. Projects such as this are common in Marketing classes at WKU. This semester students in Social Media Marketing are creating social media marketing plans for Wendy's of Bowling Green.
