Are those rules ultimately good for journalism, or for citizens' and journalists' right to free speech, and therefore the future of democracy more broadly? News organizations should use their relationships and influence with Facebook to push for changes in how Facebook handles its identity policies, as well as its privacy policies and settings that may be putting the most vulnerable types of journalists at risk around the world.
Self interest has also led major American companies that own some of the country's biggest and most influential news organizations to support legislation and government policy that is ultimately harmful to independent journalism, free expression, and hence democracy. Disney (which owns ABC), The CBS Corporation, Comcast-NBCUniversal, News Corp, and Time Warner (which owns CNN and other news properties) were all strong supporters and advocates of the Stop Online Piracy Act, better known as SOPA.
The bill was on the verge of passing in January, until a wave of nationwide activism killed it. According to the website Media Matters, in the fourth quarter of 2011 these companies plus the National Cable & Telecommunications Association spent millions of dollars on 28 different lobbying firms to lobby Congress on SOPA and Protect IP.
SOPA would have compelled not only social media platforms, but any kind of website that allows its audience to post comments or upload other content, to monitor and censor their users lest some posting or image violates somebody's copyright—as alleged solely by that copyright-holder. Failure to do so would result in the website being blacklisted and expose its owners to lawsuits and even criminal prosecution. SOPA and the Senate's sister bill, the Protect IP Act, would have empowered the US Attorney General to order the blockage of allegedly infringing websites—based anywhere on earth.
The drafters of SOPA and Protect IP did not set out to constrain online dissent and activism, independent investigative journalism, or opposition media. Their goal was to protect intellectual property; specifically to stop IP infringement carried out or facilitated by overseas websites—which is obviously a huge concern to the media companies that own movie studios and music labels as well as news organizations.
Small online news organizations and independent journalists around the world also hope to earn a living from the sale of their own intellectual property. Most would agree that some intellectual property law and enforcement mechanisms are necessary. But if one is not part of a major big brand American or European media company, the threats posed by SOPA vastly outweighed the potential upside.
This is in no small part because the legal and technical solutions proposed in these bills are—at a practical and technical level—very similar to mechanisms used by authoritarian regimes in forcing the private sector to censor and monitor Internet users, which of course include news organizations and investigative journalists seeking to expose corporate and government malfeasance.
It is disturbing indeed that major US media companies not only supported but lobbied aggressively for the passage of a law that was strongly opposed by free speech, human rights, and civil liberties organizations including Human Rights Watch, Human Rights First, Reporters Without Borders, Article 19, Amnesty International, and the American Civil Liberties Union.
Then there is the issue of net neutrality. The debate over net neutrality is about whether Internet service providers—broadband or wireless—should be allowed to discriminate between different sources of content and different types of services that you might want to access.
The Internet's empowering nature has been based largely on the fact that any citizen or aspiring journalist can potentially create media and reach global audiences just by sending a tweet or publishing a blog.
On a "neutral" Internet, it doesn't matter what platform you use—your video, blog post, or podcast is equally accessible to anybody anywhere (as long as a government isn't trying to censor it).
On a non-neutral Internet, your service provider could offer a "tiered" access package in which access to certain services belonging to major brand names (Amazon, Netflix, YouTube, and Facebook, for example) would be cheaper than access to the general Internet or to lesser known applications and platforms. Brand-name companies could pay the ISP for the privilege of gaining preferential access to users at lower or no cost. Or an ISP could demand money from popular services in exchange for smooth and fast delivery. Or it could deny access to certain services entirely.
If Internet Service Providers fail to adhere to net neutrality principles, the bulk of Internet users will be driven by lower prices, faster speeds, and easier access to the larger, well-financed, commercially operated platforms for everything, including their news consumption. Scrappy startups and nonprofit public interest journalism projects that build and operate their own websites from scratch are at a distinct disadvantage in such a world.

This is a superb product...
This is a superb product which I now use constantly for idea sketching as well
as for larger lines and areas on finished illustration. On a lighter fine grain
paper or bristol board it gives a very smooth line but on rougher sketch paper
you get more of a visible, ragged edged look. I think it also depends on how
absorbent the paper is but regardless this product is great because you can
regulate flow by applying pressure to the ink reservoir.
This brings me to my other point, which is that one of the reviews here states that the plastic ring (white on this pen, coloured on others) is some kind of seal. In actuality, this is meant to be discarded and it used I believe as a spacer while the pen is in it's packaging, to prevent the cartridge from being punctured. In other words you discard this item and attach the ink refill directly to the clear plastic grip section (this can be seen if you look closely to the photo with the test brush strokes). I hope this helps as I was also a bit puzzled at first and I can see it would seriously impact this products quality to make this mistake. I plan on ordering the fine tipped version soon for fine detailing as I have really fallen in love with the feel to the point where my dip pens have been permanently retired. 1 person found this helpful

This is a great product,...
This is a great product, I never really used brushes before but now I use this
all the time for rough sketching as it forces you to be less detail obsessed and
loose. I have the standard tip but I plan on picking up the fine tip to see how
it fairs on detailing finished illustrations. At the moment I mainly only use it
on finished inking for the bold outer lines or to block in shadow regions.
Also, I feel like I need to correct a couple of the reviews above that are mistakenly thinking the little white (or other colours depending on the tip) ring is a seal. It is not a seal and is meant to be discarded (the instructions show this), the pen should look like it does in the below test illustration, the ink reservoir simply attaches directly to the clear plastic grip section. I hope this is helpful as I have read others marking this product line down for "flow issues" when I am afraid they are actually assembling it incorrectly. Just to reiterate, this is an excellent product, much less annoying/ messy than an actual brush and ink and please ignore the reviews that mention flow issues, it's actually not a real flaw or problem. REMEMBER FOLKS, ALWAYS READ THE INSTRUCTIONS. 3 people found this helpful

We moved into our current house in 2001. Two months later, our 16 year old cat had a stroke and died. We adopted two more cats in the next two years. Three years after that we adopted our third and final cat. She developed cancer a year later and died. This year, the two remaining cats developed diabetes ( He will be 10 next year) and pancreatitis and high liver values (She will be 9 next year) respectively.
Even though they have experienced different health issues, I can't help but think that there could be an environmental component involved. Is there a particular type of company that I can contact to come in and test our house for certain gases/filtration issues? I could be totally off base, but I believe that there may be something to this as I have experienced some medical issues too. Sometimes, I smell something and the scent goes away, I experience headaches and muscle aches….but that could be related to something else too. Thanks in advance for any advice/help that you can offer. Renee |

The cat thing could be a coincidence, but in your case, your problems are a different situation. Any one else in the house having any problems? Would suggest you have your home checked for carbon monoxide levels. Any older gas system, furnace, water heater, dryer are all capable of producing CM if they are not properly vented. However, CM is odorless. |
Radon gas? |
Is your heat natural gas, hot water heater & dryer?? If so can check the connections around them by taking a few drops of dishwashing liquid soap( like Joy or Dawn) & put the soap in 1/2 cup water & use an old toothbrush to paint the mixture on all the connections. If any are leaking there will be bubbling up & you can mark the spots with a Sharpie pen & get pipes replaced. Check any outside gas connections also. Imagine this would work if you use propane also. Any gas leak would be detected. While you are checking this clean out any lint/dust from under hot water heater & take a thin rag over a yardstick & get dust out from under dryer. Dust/lint is cause of some house fires. I do this couple of times a year!(Take back off dryer & long artist brush & get the lint out too after I've unplugged the thing & turned the gas off. My furnace is natural gas also & I shut it off & take a damp cloth & stick & run the cloth around in the drum to get rid of any dust & take the vent off under it & wipe it out helps with my allergies. Also safer & last longer. As for the cats I hope you didn't give them toys from Dollar Store as the stuff from China can make cats & dogs very sick. Did the cats get cat food or table scraps? They say that table scraps are bad for them. Were the cats all from same breeder, maybe weren't too healthy from inbreeding. But if a cat was laying close to leaking CO2 or gas or propane that would certainly affect their life!! I have carbon Monoxide alarms in my house where I sleep & in kitchen that 1 also detects natural gas(or even room spray like Lysol if someone was sick & I sprayed to kill germs so I didn't get sick- I end up having to unplug it from the wall & take it to another room until the smell is gone.) What about drains in your house. Do you have bathroom you don't use & water is never put down the sink, shower or floor drain in basement, that can make you very ill. My dad was working once & lady was so sick & he told her it was her basement drain, you have to put water down it every few days otherwise sewer gas can come up & it will kill you & your pets. So any unused drains need a qt of water down each every week. Hope this helps!!I get migraines from Barometric pressure changes so I know a storm is coming about 48 hrs before it arrives. |

16 years seems well within the normal life expectancy of a house cat. I'm not a vet but it seems that lots of things can cause a stroke including, perhaps, stress from the move. Could the health problems with your other two cats be attributed to some kind of adverse condition in your home? Certainly but there are plenty of other causes as well, including just some bad luck. What does your vet say? Your health problems may or may not be attributable to some kind of environmental problem as well. Or not. What does you doctor say? As another member mentioned you might want to check carbon monoxide levels. Some of the detectors have a display that shows the actual level. Remember that carbon monoxide only applies if you have appliances that burn -- natural gas, propane, fuel oil, coal. Mold can cause all kinds of health problems. Might not be a bad idea to take a good look around. If don't want to or don't know what you're looking for, there are companies that will inspect you home. I'd suggest exercising due diligence before hiring one. |
Question. Are/were you cats 100% indoors? |
TexasRedhead, Thanks for that suggestion about checking CO levels, I have the monitor and I checked to make sure that it was still operational and seemingly, it is. I may just buy a new one anyway since this one came with the house, but we've always changed the battery. I will probably buy the one that also detects natural gas as sunnyca suggests. Nycefarm, Sunnyca....wow! Thank you for all of those tips! We have natural gas heater and hot water heater. Our dryer is electric. We will test the gas connections as you suggested. The cats do not like to play with toys to my chagrin and they eat canned cat food and some dry cat food. All of the cats were rescued from our local no kill shelter. We use all of our bathrooms too. You've given me so much food for thought. Mike, Lumper, Can anyone suggest the type of professional that I should call to come inspect the house? I was thinking of calling a home inspector since they conduct similar tests when one is trying to buy a home...... |
- Posted by mike_kaiser (My Page) on Sun, Dec 20, 09 at 14:21
Without an expensive and extensive autopsy it would be difficult for a vet to rule out anything. Even then, the results may not be conclusive. Do your symptoms lessen in milder weather when you would have the windows open? If so, that might point to some kind of localized environmental problem. Most home inspectors only have very generalized knowledge so I'm not sure that would be your best choice. Perhaps a company that specializes in indoor air quality or a mold remediation company. Although care should be exercised there, as an unscrupulous company might create a fictitious problem to generate business. It could be that you've just had some bad luck. Animals do get sick. |
If you really want to in-depth information and analysis, look at hiring an (IH) Industrial Hygienist. An IH will inspect and analyze conditions of the home or workplace for potential health hazards. This could cost one or two thousand dollars for a home inspection but if it's a competent IH, they should find the problem if there is one. I have seen mostly false alarms when people have a heightened awareness to environmental issues like this. It usually pops up when they see something on TV or in the newspapers or get bad advice from ill-informed people in the community. Don't get me wrong, there are plenty of sick buildings out there and I have seen many of them. The problem is too many look to building issues when nothing can be seen and ignore obvious issues that are glaring. Not trying to be a smart ass but your cat's age is a glaring one IMO. Now if all your cats were four and five year's old, different story. Also if your cats were adopted, who knows what they were exposed to in their early years and these diseases can take many years to develop. My favorite example of ignoring the obvious was an office building in DC where all twelve floors of the HVAC system had to be cleaned because one office worker started a panic about everyone working in a sick building. The woman was in her 50's and was complaining of severe headaches and joint pains after being in the office all day for her new job. The woman smoked two packs a day, was over 350 pounds and supposedly had a drinking problem but she still insisted the building was causing her symptoms. The HVAC system was dirty and needed to be cleaned anyway but the woman's symptoms didn't go away after the building was cleaned. DUUUUUHHHHH???? Ed McMahon was one of the most notorious to start the "toxic mold killed my pet" lawsuit which turned into mass hysteria about mold and pets. Ed McMahon sued his insurance company for 20 million dollars because a contractor apparently didn't clean up a broken pipe in his house properly. Mold developed and Ed's dog died soon afterwards and nobody had an ounce of evidence the dog didn't die from natural causes. Ed settled out of court for 7.2 million dollars and it's well known that Ed probably did it because he was broke, not because his dog died. In my experience, the list of false alarms is far, far longer than the list of legitimate sick buildings. Look to obvious answers first such as diet, life style and use of chemicals around the home. Address the basics first because they are usually the problem. Then look at gas operated systems as they are an easy fix if not functioning properly. After all that, if you still have problems, dig deeper for mold, radon or other environmental issues. If you want peace of mind, find a good IH but it's going to cost you. After he/she is done however, I wager you'll need to start at square one anyway because the IH didn't find much. Good luck, |

Several years ago when we had a parakete, my wife used an amoniated cleaner. Next morning the bird was dead. Just never know how cats will respond to different chemicals. Have you been to the doctor to discuss your symtoms? |
- Posted by julietspeaks (My Page) on Tue, Dec 22, 09 at 12:26
Renee, I would absolutely have the house checked, if only to give you peace of mind. However, as a long-time cat owner, I've have two very clear groups of cats: the ones that last forever, and the ones that barely make it to 10. It's horrible when they go, no matter when it is, and it sounds like you've had a terrible run lately. Definitely check out the house, but keep in mind your experiences with your cats is unfortunately not all that unusual. I'm very sorry you're going through this. |

Legislative candidates, community members and law enforcement officers from across the state gathered Wednesday to discuss one of Montana's hot-button issues: driving under the influence.
"The DUI touches all facets of our communities," said Steve Bullock, state attorney general. "We've all seen heartache that drinking and driving can cause."
As one of three panelists heading Wednesday's discussion at Montana State University Billings, Bullock shared several stories of how DUIs have affected his life and those around Montana.
In March 2009, Montana Highway Patrol Trooper Mike Haynes was killed in a head on collision on U.S. Highway 93.
Bullock said the driver was traveling in the wrong lane on the wrong side of the road with his lights off.
"It really hit after seeing Trooper Haynes' kids, who are at the same age as mine," Bullock said. "You reach a tipping point, and I think we are starting to have a community tipping point."
Bullock said the state of Montana remains near the top of statistics for the number of alcohol-related fatalities in the country.
The average blood alcohol content in Montana's fatal crashes in 2008 was .16 percent, twice the legal limit.
"We have got to remember that with every statistic, there is always a story behind that statistic," Bullock said. "The community is saying it's time to do something. It's time for a change and they want the carnage that is caused by these drunken drivers to end."
Bullock said DUI was not a key issue when he was elected.
Things have changed for the 10 to 15 legislative candidates sitting in the audience.
Panelist Erin Inman of the Montana Department of Transportation said it's all about perception.
"The reason the conversation changed is because people's perception has changed," Inman said "There is a public perception that DUI is a minor crime, but it's a major crime."
The next step is finding a solution, including treatment options like the Billings Adult Misdemeanor DUI Court established in 2009.
Panelist Adam Flores of Community Solutions leads the program.
Fourteen people have graduated from the program, which can last anywhere from 12 to 18 months and require participants to complete breathalyzer tests, counseling and undergo constant monitoring.
"This approach with treatment was very eye opening to me," Flores said. "Programs like this are very effective."
Another program showing promise is the 24/7 Sobriety Program based in Helena.
According to program standards, those who are arrested for a second or subsequent DUI are required to take a breathalyzer test twice a day, every day — once in the morning and once at night.
"But it's not an end all, cure all," Bullock said. "My hope by the end of this year is to have results to take to the legislature."
About 15 bills are in the works to address DUI, Bullock said.
"It's going to require solutions and best practices and this forum represented a major step prior to the legislative session to make sure the best solutions and ideas come to the top," said David Carter, deputy Yellowstone County Attorney.

If there is a way to create photo album folders in the Gallery app on the Motorola Droid handheld, I cannot find it. It is useful to have different picture folders separated for different occasions. Of course you can do this by attaching the device to your computer and create folders that way, but I'd like to be able to do it from the Droid itself. Luckily I found a way.
1. Download and install Astro File Manager (free) from the Market.
2. Open Astro File Manager and navigate to /sdcard/DCIM/Camera.
3. All of your photos and movies will be displayed. Here you can create new folders to organize them in by pressing Menu > New.
4. Select Directory.
5. Give the folder a name. Tap Create when you're done.
6. The folder is now created, but for it to show up in Gallery, the folder must have photos in it. To move folders into the folder you've created, follow these steps in Astro File Manager:
- Tap and hold the photo you wish to move until a menu appears. If you wish to move multiple photos, tap Multi on the toolbar on the top of the screen, select the photos you wish to move, then long tap on one of the photos.
- Tap Edit.
- Tap Move.
- Tap and hold the folder you wish to move it to (the folder you created. Holiday in this example).
- Tap Edit.
- Tap Paste, and the photo will be moved to the new folder.
7. Now in Gallery, your photos will be organized the way you want them to be with different photo albums.

JAIPUR: The Rajasthan Special Courts Bill, 2012 - part of the state government's effort to curb corruption - was passed in the assembly on Thursday. The bill facilitates constitution of Special Courts for speedy trial of certain class of offences related to disproportionate assets and for confiscation of the properties involved.
The Bill, which would now be forwarded to the governor for approval, has provisions for speedy disposal of corruption cases and confiscation of property of public servants, who make assets disproportionate to their known sources of income. Public representatives including the chief minister and council of ministers have been included in the list of public servants in the bill. The bill proposed to set up seven special courts for the purpose.
The courts would be presided over by persons who are or have been sessions court judges or additional sessions judges. The special courts judge would be nominated by the state government with the concurrence of the high court. The special court would function as per the directives of the high court and cases would be cleared within six months.
Speaking during the debate over the bill in the house on Thursday, senior BJP legislator Gulabchand Kataria said that the draft of the bill was a half-hearted, rushed attempt made by the state government to deal with the rising voice against corruption. "Why not form a separate selection board for appointment of the authorised officer? Moreover, it would be the state government's prerogative to transfer cases to the special courts. Rather, I suggest formation of an independent agency which should decide on which cases to be taken up by the special courts?'' said Kataria, who also sought more teeth for ACB.
BJP legislator Rao Rajendra Singh objected to public representatives being included in the list of public servants. "Public servants are professionals, representatives are not,'' he said, also emphasising on the need to focus on prevention of such cases, which the bill does not talk about. He also said that confiscation of property before a trial or court's verdict will go against the natural law of justice.
Deputy leader of Opposition Ghanshyam Tiwari mentioned the survey report of Transparency International, which claimed that Indians pay over Rs 20,000 crore as bribe annually, of which 9,000 crore are paid by those below poverty line to bureaucrats to get their work done. He also raised the issue of corruption in judiciary.
Parliamentary affairs minister Shanti Dhariwal said that the appointment would be made by the state government on the suggestions of the high court and that the person would be member of the Rajasthan Judicial Services. Any malicious action or revengeful attitude by the authorised officer is not possible as all judicial procedures would be followed. Any transfer of property in such cases would stand null and void,'' said Dhariwal, adding that it is a limited act.

You would think after the episodes with the grocery stores and fast food places getting horsemeat they'd look around and see who's doing it and check out the others. Just heard on BBC that IKEA meatballs are another one testing horsey. Who will be next? |
Follow-Up Postings:
I saw that on the news, Cynic. Guess they eat horse meat in other countries. I got the impression they were already serving them in the US. Did I hear wrong? |
In some countries of Europe they eat horse without their hair standing on end ... and in others ... they don't. Around here, during World War II and for a few years after, horsemeat was available ... but it had to be in a separate store! (Mixed-up meat ... for mixed-up people)? ole joyful |
Ed, while I was growing up in Germany it was sold in a different store there too. Moni |
Do we have Ikea food here? I thought it was just furniture. |
I fully realize that some countries eat horse as well as dogs and cats. Some countries are abhorred by eating beef. That's not the point. The issue to me is the fraud involved. The buyers are paying for beef (or perhaps pork or even turkey?) to serve in their stores and restaurants and instead of what they ordered and paid for are being given horse instead. I'd venture to guess horsemeat is much cheaper and being substituted to pad bottom line of the unscrupulous. Maybe they'll start selling an "Angus" horse line so they can say they're selling 100% "Angus" which has become so fashionable in the US. I've never been to an IKEA so IDK if they sell food items although some places have talked like they have a restaurant or something in them in the US. Someone else might know more definitively. |
I'v'e never bought IKEA -- kind of 'college or first job' furniture like Crate and Barrel -- glossy 'sell', but not much there, there. Anyhoo, the stores have restaurants, which I think is a great merchandising since it probably keeps people in the store longer. I don't know if they sell carry-out. |
The meatballs in their cafe are one of the most popular sellers. Interesting. I personally don't see any difference in meat though they should be honest. |
The school system in Albuquerque served horsemeat when I was a kid. The story broke and parents complained. It's an honesty issue here.... |
- Posted by iowagirl2006 (My Page) on Mon, Feb 25, 13 at 23:02
"100% "Angus" which has become so fashionable in the US." I know for a fact that anything with a mostly black hide is sold as Angus. It has Angus in it - but 100% - nope! If you knew the hoops we have to jump through to have our meat certified to be able to be sold in the EU. It is crazy amount of paper work, etc. Then we hear that they are selling horsemeat as beef - oops! They are really up on things. |
and my coz here in the usa raises horses for export... the meat was found in the european stores only...and we've purchased the meatballs which were very good...(along with the cinnamon rolls) |
It's only in the European IKEAs. I don't eat meat but love their salmon dinners and their desserts. Love IKEA. Need to make a trip to the Baltimore one. |
The Ikea's I have been to have a food store near the exit. so you can stock up on frozen items and fresh items on the way out. No horse meat found here in the US Ikea's...... yet. |

text: HAYHay was first produced in Oklahoma by early settlers and continues today to be an important feed for livestock. Hay comes from wild plants (primarily native grasses) or cultivated plants, such as alfalfa (Medicago sativa), bermuda grass (Cynodon dactylon), and tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea). It is an essential factor in raising cattle and is one of the leading crops in Oklahoma and the United States. Without hay, Oklahoma's billion-dollar-plus cattle industry would not exist. Horses also consume large quantities of both grass and alfalfa hay. Grass hay is important throughout Oklahoma where farm animals are raised. Beef and dairy cattlemen produce much of the state's hay for use on farms. Alfalfa is produced for on-farm use and as a cash crop, much of which is exported to Texas. Most alfalfa is grown in the central and western part of Oklahoma (Grady County led the state with 55,300 tons of alfalfa hay in 1963 and 107,000 tons in 2000) and is baled for storage and transport. Oklahoma produces more than a million tons of alfalfa hay valued at $80 to $120 per ton, resulting in $100 million to $150 million per year value to the state. Most grass hay and clover-grass mixed hay in Oklahoma is grown in the eastern part of the state (Craig County yielded 53,381 tons of native meadow hay at 1907 statehood and Muskogee County produced 111,000 tons in 2000) and is used for on-farm support of the cow-calf industry. Hay processing is not complicated. Green forage is mown and left spread in the field or is stacked in windrows for drying. It should dry quickly and uniformly or its nutritive value and palatability may be reduced by exposure to rain. If it falls while or after the hay dries, rain leaches the hay's soluble nutrients and causes leaves to be lost. Leaves tend to be the most nutritious part of forage crops. Once hay dries, it should be stored in a barn (in bales or loose), where it can remain for decades without appreciable deterioration. Low-quality hay is frequently stored outside, but it loses dry matter and nutrients and is nearly worthless within a few months. SEE ALSO: AGRICULTURAL MECHANIZATION, CORN, FARMING, WHEAT.

Once A Week Cooking For The Busy Single On A Budget

"This is a easy recipe but I have made a similar dish by just making rice and adding chicken, soup, and cheese.

I'm sorry. That exclamation point in the title is a lie. I just can't get excited about this year's Gathering of the Juggalos internet commercial. I wanted to be excited. I really did. But then I hit play and a sad realization dawned on me. I think the Juggalos may actually have achieved the unthinkable – going from a complete laughingstock to little more than a pitiful skid mark on the face of music.
Every year, I usually bust a gut laughing at these things because of how totally fucking moronic the Insane Clown Posse and their little festival in the woods are (and the Saturday Night Live skits that inevitably mock them are always hilarious). But this year's commercial just wasn't that funny. It was sad. Even Sugar Slam – sweet little Sugar Slam – looked like her soul had died sometime over the last year. And to put the nail in the coffin, it appears that Vanilla Ice is now leading the charge. I guess that pairing makes perfect sense though – after all, he is the guy who wrote the song called "Ninja Rap." Fuck me.
Here it is for your perusal:
This might be my favorite part: "You'll watch shit go down you've never seen before! I'm talking Midway Games that are ran (sic) by real low-life carny scrubs that just want your cash." Also, "helicopter rides with a presumably drunk pilot."
Ho-lee shit.
Also, RIP Ass Dan 1981-2011
Jon Stewart can do no wrong.
If you can find me a more intelligent, nay – genius – political commentator working today, well let's just say I'd be pretty surprised. Bill Maher and Stephen Colbert come close, but no one can quite match Stewart's ability to rip apart the mindless hacks (mostly right-wingers, but then again, that description comes with the territory) who populate our culture, spewing their inane, mindless drivel on the airwaves, across the radio dials, and all over the interwebs.
The primary target of Stewart's restrained rage and utter incomprehension is Fox News – that cesspool of a "news" outlet. Late last week, there was a significant media uproar over the fact that Michelle Obama had invited the rapper Common to the White House to take part in a poetry event.
Common…the least menacing rapper out there besides maybe Weird Al, and this is what those lousy fucks get up in arms about. But Stewart wasn't content to let this go by unnoticed. Oh no, not only did he devote an entire hilarious segment of his show to this controversy, but then last night he went on O'Reilly's show and intellectually murdered him face to face. It's amazing to see O'Reilly fumble for an excuse when Stewart asks him why he is not consistently outraged over the fact that artists like Bono and Bob Dylan and Bruce Springsteen were invited to the White House with no repercussions despite having songs about convicted murderers. But I think I know where Bill was making the distinction – after all, Common's the only one of those guys with chocolate skin.
Here's the segment from The Daily Show last week. After the jump, catch Stewart's appearance on O'Reilly's show. It's a lesson in how to intellectually pimp slap a fool.
Can you say "Random"
Over the years, I have become a huge fan of Jack White – both as a singer, songwriter, musician, producer, and overall contributor to music. Also, as of late, I have become more and more intrigued by the chameleon like productions of Danger Mouse. My favorite product, by far, is the Broken Bells project he coordinated with James Mercer of the Shins. Yet another area I have grown to thoroughly enjoy is the sultry voice of female singers (no not Britney Spears and Lady Gaga) such as Adele, Emmy Lou Harris, Etta James, Zoey Deschanel, etc. Norah Jones falls directly into that category. Those three musicians – Danger Mouse, Jack White, and Nora Jones have come together, along with Daniele Luppi to produce what essentially amounts to an epic movie score. Danger Mouse and Daniele Luppi, inspired by Spaghetti Western film score, set up in a studio with a slew of ochestral musicians to record the music portion of the album. Once the tracks were down, Brian Burton aka Danger Mouse passed along the instrumental demos to Jack White. Burton wanted a male/female aspect to the tracks and so recruited Norah Jones to sing along-side White. I don't think you could dream up a more random collection of artists, inspirations, and genre's to come up with, what sounds like it could be, one of the most interesting albums of the year. I am truly looking forward to listening to the album, titled "Rome", when it is released on May 17th.
Here is a trailer for the album:
Let us know what you think. I will have a formal review after the album is released.
For a band that is about to celebrate its twentieth anniversary, Pearl Jam sure do seem to be operating these days with the vigor of a band that just hit it big.
They've got plans on top of plans – continuing their ongoing reissue projects, celebrating their anniversary with a big summer show, recording a new album, working on a documentary, and even mixing a few solo projects in during their spare time.
Here's the rundown of what you can look forward to in the coming year:
- On March 29th, the band will follow up its reissue of Ten with the re-release of Vs. and Vitalogy in expanded, remastered editions.
- Sometime in the fall, the Cameron Crowe-directed documentary, Twenty, will be released in addition to an accompanying soundtrack and book.
- On Labor Day weekend, the band will celebrate its anniversary with a concert bash somewhere in the middle of the country.
- They've already got 25 songs written for a new album that they'll start recording sometime later this year.
- Bassist Jeff Ament will be releasing a new album from his solo project Tres Mts.
- Drummer Matt Cameron is planning to work on recording a new Soundgarden album.
- Singer Eddie Vedder will release his new solo album, Ukele Songs, on May 31. Also coming out that day is a live concert film called Water on the Road.
Holy crap. That wore me out just typing it. It's good to see a band at that point in their career when they have just as much reason to look back with pride as they do to look forward with anticipation.
Nate Dogg, dead at 41
Rapper/singer Nate Dogg has died as the result of complications from several strokes that he had suffered in recent years. He was 41 years old.
Nate Dogg was a veteran of the hip-hop scene who actually started out in a group with Snoop Dogg in the early 1990s. But his main claim to fame was as a collaborator and guest singer on some pretty huge tracks by other artists.
It's not hard to see why he was in high demand by his peers. He had a smooth voice that he could actually do some pretty good R&B style singing with in addition to his rhyming skills.
In remembrance of Nate Dogg, here's the song that really put his name on the map (and then check out some of his other biggest hits after the jump):
Mike Starr, dead at 44
Mike Starr, former bassist for Alice in Chains, was found dead yesterday in Salt Lake City. He was 44 years old.
If any of you are familiar with VH1′s Celebrity Rehab franchise, then you probably know that Starr appeared on the third season, as well as its sister program Sober House. He became a very popular figure on the show primarily due to his massively erratic personality, which veered from an intensely brooding and vile person to a reserved, thoughtful, and kind one. He even appeared on the show last season to talk to the current patients, and during that visit he pronounced himself more than six months sober.
But there's hardly ever a clean break when it comes to shows like this. And just last month, Starr was busted for felony possession of narcotics.
The cause of his death has not yet been determined, but come on… Do any of you actually believe this wasn't drug related? I'm sorry to sound so cynical, but he was a clearly troubled individual living his life around the guilt he felt over Layne Staley's drug-fueled death. Ever since Staley's death, he probably just set his life on a long drawn out course of self destruction which unfortunately probably resulted in his own death. It's a shame because, like the sun faintly peeking through the clouds on a dark and overcast day, it really did seem like beneath all of his addiction was a good person.
Radiohead Part Two
So what exactly is Radiohead up to these days? Fans have been speculating that the band might soon release yet another album as a follow up to 'The Kind of Limbs' album.
As you know, Radiohead dropped the album on February 18th – and only announced the release four days before that. And now fans are saying another release is on its way.
But it's all speculation from the fans.
To be honest, it looks like fans are digging into this thing a bit too much. 'The Kind of Limbs' was a great surprise so enjoy it. I mean, just because the last track on the album was 'Separator' doesn't mean another album is on its way. The track is not a 'separator' between albums.
What do you think? Are you guys Radiohead fanboys?
Proof that there is no God
Because if there were, he would never allow something like this to take place (courtesy of digital spy):
William Shatner is planning to record a metal album in Los Angeles.
According to LA Weekly, the actor will collaborate with a number of rockers on the LP, including Peter Frampton, Mike Inez, Steve Howe of Yes, Ian Paice of Deep Purple, Brian May of Queen and Bootsy Collins.
The Star Trek icon plans to cover popular rock and metal tracks for the release. Most of the songs will have a 'space' or 'flying in space' theme.
Two hits Shatner is expected to cover are Black Sabbath's 'Iron Man' and Foo Fighters' 'Learn To Fly'.
I'm honestly not sure I can think of any idea I would be less disgusted/insulted by. Here's a taste of what we are all in store for:

Do you know what the difference between Benjamin Moore Contractor Grade Paint and Benjamin Moore Top of the Line Paint? When I called Benjamin Moore to ask, they said they are the same.
Thank you!! |
Follow-Up Postings:
The difference between contractor grade and top of the line for any paint company is the same. The two main reasons for the difference is quality and price. Paint in general is one of those 'you get what you pay for' sort of products. The main thing when it comes to quality of paint is the volume of solids in the paint. I'll try not to be too technical, but what that means is the more volume solids in a paint, the better it performs concerning coverage, sheen level, color consistancy and color retention. The main solid in paint that makes it good is Titanium Dioxde; that is the pigment. The amount of this pigment is directly responsible for the price, color and coverage. This is the most expensive ingredient in the paint, which is what drives the cost. More money for a can of paint doesn't alway make it better, however. There are other factors involved. When it comes to paying for a name like Ben Moore, SW or others; there is a reason why most are not in large homecenters. The independent stores and dealers control the spectrum of pricing depending mostly on the 'type' of customer. How it normally works is (loosely) homeowners=full price, contractors or volume customers= discounted price. Homeowners or low volume-type customers SHOULD go to 'big box' retailers, because they are already selling on a volume price.I believe consumers really have to stop shopping for the overpriced paint in the marketplace that hide behind their names; with really no new technology added to their products (besides increased pricing) for the last hundred years. You kind of got a good feel for the types I am speaking of by the answer you recieved over the phone!! Do yourself a favor, go to Home Depot,if you can, and purchase a can of Glidden Ultra Hide or Evermore (high volume solids) and you'll be amazed on how good it is and how much money you saved. If you want to spend a little more, buy the Ralph Lauren; that stuff is unbelievable. Can you tell what I do for a living?!? |
Hi "ICI Dave" and Trudy! I work at a fairly busy ACE/independant hardware store that has a big Home-Decor component. We go through TONS of ACE paint; but also sell a lot of Ralph Lauren (more than the HD in town!) and our C2 line is slowly ramping up ($40-$48/gal). Thanks! |
Thank you Faron and icidave for the explanation of why buying the better grade of paint is always worth it. I try to buy quality since I want my walls to look nice and hold up well. |

The paint store that I go to (frequented by lots of pros) told me that the main difference in BM contractor grade and regal is that Regal will cover more colors in one coat than the contractor grade. Since I was painting over a light colored wall I went with the less expensive paint and found it very nice to use, personally I like BM paints better than any paint that I have purchased at Home Depot or Lowes. |

As a commercial and industrial painting contractor, I find that top brand paint stores offer more for our money than the cheaper prices at the "big box" stores. For us, pricing is one thing but service is the most important. The quality is there with most brands. This is based more by what product is specified on the plans. Job specifications can specify anything from whitewash (Contracrtor grade)up to Regal (top of line). Retail: that is $9.00/gal to $52.00gal. But to have a paint rep from the store call or come by and assist with issues or conditions - that is hard to put find at a "big box", nor would I take their advise in most cases, if I had issues. In addition, brand paint stores will deliver just about anything straight to our job or shop - no extra cost - for us. Some areas may not offer delivery - we are luck, we have many paint stores around here that deliver. Is price important - yes - it is based on what you bid, or for homeowners what you want or can afford. Is Service important - YES YES! I can't put a price on real service. Just my thoughts. |

won't go into a long detail either, just short and sweet. Didn't read through all the other info, but I can't emphasize enough about using higher volume solids in your paint. I have mentioned this time and time again. Makes all the difference . As ICIdave has also mentioned. :) |

Thanks! I actually don't consider myself having blond hair; it's more of a medium brown, but the sun was really shining down on me in this pic. OA, what a compliment! Laura Linney is a really pretty actress . . . although I'm a lot older than her IRL ;^D Lynn |

By all accounts, the Amazon Kindle Fire is the best-selling Android tablet of all time.Between Amazon's quality-not-quantity approach to their App Store and one-tablet-to-rule-them-all line-up, and you've got a recipe for quality control more akin to Apple than Google. But that also means developing for the Fire and the App Store is a slightly different experience from start to finish - so if you're planning an app specifically for the Fire...
Last night on the Android Developers blog, Tim Bray recapped a few improvements that have come to the Android Market since Froyo landed. Most of them (five out of the six) are old news by now, but the sixth is one we haven't heard about before:
Good news, developers: Google is finally giving you the opportunity to formally submit a description of changes to your app in its latest version. Many devs were doing this in the description field already, but were constrained by the character limit in place. This new option frees up some space in the description for ... well, further description, and is sure to please some application developers out there. No sign of the ability to respond to user comments, though, sorry.
The popular, open-source media player firmware Rockbox has recently been made available for Android. Rather than run as an operating system, Rockbox operates as a standalone application that you can install as usual with an APK. Development is still on-going, but Rockbox dev kugel has a few pre-compiled APKs hosted for you to try out if you're interested.
These builds are unofficial and are purely for demonstrative purposes, but they seem to work pretty nicely.
Unity3D recently announced that pre-sales are going on for their Android version of their great 3D engine. Game developers who are still on the border as to whether or not they want to make the jump to Android or, if you already are developing for Android making the jump to Unity 3D, have a little more incentive now. Unity3D will give the first 500 Unity Pro for Android pre-sale orders a free Nexus One.

Retouching is getting a very bad name in the media these days, and photographer Jean-Baptiste Mondino is fighting back against a possible law in France that would require any Photoshop image to clearly mention its changes via a warning label. While instances of bad airbrushing and tampering have become extremely apparent as of late, he's out to show that not all alterations are bad. In fact, he wants to prove that they're more commonplace than anyone realizes. This weekend, he published a photo of a woman Photoshopped in Libération's Next magazine, but instead of giving her skinnier hips, he enhanced her curves (reminiscent of Beth Dittos' Love cover).

Sweet Basil Seeds
By MoonShine
from WA
Best Uses
Comments about Sweet Basil Seeds:
I originally bought a pound of Sweet Basil seeds for sprouting as the flavor is more intense when using the sprouts, but thought I'd try some Hydroponic growing of the seeds and there doing amazing and the leaves are great in fresh salad, raw foods, and cooked soups, beans and black eyed peas. I am vegetarian and flavor is important in waking up recipes. I am really happy with my purchase that arrived in fast order, in great condition and even in an adorable burlap bag. I'll be buying more seeds from American Meadows. I also love that seeds can be purchased all year round!

Fool-Proof Herb Gardening!
By msggtoothy
from Lockport, NY
I love that I can purchase such high quality seeds in bulk! It's very economical. I had so much seed that I filled several jars and gave them away in house warming baskets this year. It was nice to know that when the new home owners plant there herb gardens they will be able to enjoy your products as well. I also include my favorite recipes for pesto and capresse salad!

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.
[OS] THAILAND - Sukhumbhand's resignation or sacking not true: Democrats

The Nation November 10, 2011 5:00 am
The main opposition party has no plans to force Bangkok Governor MR Sukhumbhand
Paribatra to resign in the face of flooding, Democrat MP Rachada Dhnadirek said
on Thursday.
"News reports about Sukhumband stepping down are groundless," she said.
Rachada said there was no justification to pin blame the Bangkok
inundation on Sukhumbhand.
Sukhumbhand's term would end early next year and this might prompt
ill-intentioned people trying to undermine his re-election bid, she added.
She said she had checked with Sukhumbhand and Deputy Prime Minister
Chalerm Yoobamrung about the alleged move to sack the Bangkok governor.
The two had cordial ties and Chalerm denied he pushed the government to
fire Sukhumbhand, she said.
Certain Pheu Thai MPs circulated the idea about sacking, she said.
Another Democrat Boonyord Sukthinthai said no Democrats, particularly
those Bangkok MPs, cast doubt on Sukhumbhand's performance on flood
Boonyord said he suspected Pheu Thai MPs fabricated the story on
Sukhumbhand in order to divert atttention from the government's botched
flood control.

For Miss Freshman, college is their first time living on their own and curfew free. So, it's no surprise that everyone seems eager to jump into the party scene. But before you do, check out these next few tips on how to survive a college party. Never go to an off-campus party unless you know how you're getting home. As tempting as it maybe, it's not worth ending in an uncomfortable or even dangerous situation. I know it sounds like common sense, but don't go out if you have the biggest assignment to do or test the next day. As much as you think, you'll come home early, chances are it won't happen. If you ever do find yourself having to deal with cops, it's super important to know your rights, especially if you're from out of state make sure you know the local laws and how to handle yourself in that situation. Most importantly, be smart, be safe and look out for yourself. Don't expect anyone else to do it for you. Happy partying.

It's a rare event that gives the Tenderloin's colorful cast of streetcorner characters a run for their money.
Behold: ArtPadSF, an edgy, out-there showcase for up-and-coming artists at the Phoenix Hotel this weekend.
At long last, be the voyeur you were born to be, sneaking between 40 of the historic hotel's rooms, as they've all been taken hostage by contemporary galleries and curatorial projects.
Of course, you came for the food, too.
Chambers Eat + Drink is dishing out 15% off full brunch and dinner bills with the purchase of an ArtPadSF ticket.
Situated on San Francisco's only poolside patio, Chambers' chef will be whipping up a dinner menu rich in smoking pork belly, sizzling Kobe tri-tip, and duck breast. For brunch, it's all about inventive egg dishes (think: smoked salmon, mandarin
hollandaise and caviar).
Arrive early to snag a cabana to seal the deal. Then stay late for the art.
The one must-see piece: Melissa Vandenberg's Disorderly Conduct, in which she used matchsticks to burn the image of the American flag onto white paper, while leaving off the stars.
And now you have your conversation fodder for that pork belly plate.
No need to dine and dash with this tasty Tenderloin deal.
Fri-Sun, May 17-19
601 Eddy St., Tenderloin
Tickets: $15-35 here.
The fine print: 15% off Champers Eat + Drink offer valid on same day entry to ArtPadSF; Dine in only.
Nearby: Great American Music Hall; Noble; Amsterdam Cafe

NASHVILLE, Tenn. Instead of a bouncer, there was a Metro police officer guarding the entrance of Ultra Violet and Throwdown Liquid nightclubs Friday.
The clubs were declared a public nuisance in a temporary injunction and padlocking order by criminal court judge Mark Fishburn.
Police placed the padlock on the doors Friday after the department says it received hundreds of complaints about illegal activity.
"Many of those incidents were serious in nature, to include aggravated assault, sexual assault they included illegal drug activity, gang activity and underage consumption, said Jason Reinbold, commander of the departments central precinct.
It sounds like if it's something that crazy going on, it should probably been shut down," said Chris Kenser who was visiting Nashville from Indiana.
Two weeks ago police padlocked three Nashville markets for allegedly selling illegal chemicals. Police padlocked another market on Thursday.
But does the public nuisance label really work?
Fox 17 brought you the story of Silverados Dance Hall on Murfreesboro Pike back in August of 2011.
Police received a number of calls of fights, assaults, shootings and drug crimes and padlocked it too.
Court documents show the club cleaned up its act, kept the same manager and re-opened as Yea Baby's.
But less than a year later, police had to crack down again after receiving 270 service calls.
Yea Babys closed down for good.
Whether Throwdown Liquid and Ultraviolet ever re-open is up to a judge, but Kenser says he hopes whatever happens is in the best interest of the city, not the business owner.
I love Nashville, Kenser said. It's a fun place. I always feel safe and so anything to keep it that way, Im all for.
A hearing is scheduled for April 4th to determine the future of these two clubs. The club managers could not be reached for comment.

I just want to tell everyone how much I enjoy the DisneyWorld Trivia message boards. We have much more freedom here to post links, photos, and other items compared to another message board. This other message board that I won't name (it begins with an "I" and ends with a "t") censored a post I had because I mentioned Mousebits.
Has anyone else found this same issue?
Thanks to everyone out there in making this the best Disney message board out there!
I completely understand about limits. Afterall, this is a family friendly message board.
What Message Board Is It???????

It's amazing to think that this all started with one little mouse.
I don't want to give the full name, but I gave the first and last letter of the name in my post above.
They deleted my post because I made mention of another competing Disney website. I am not sure how Mousebits competes with them, but I will abide by their rules if I post with them in the future. Most, if not all, of my posts will be done here though.
mousebits has a competitor ? .. never knewI am not sure how Mousebits competes with them, but I will

I e-mailed them back letting them know I thought it was ridiculous I could not mention another Disney website. Afterall, I believe that Disney fans should not compete but rather be a large community and all get along.
I hope I don't get flamed for this, but I must defend I-----T. Yes, they do have restrictions on mentioning websites on their forums. Yes, sometimes it is an annoyance that you can't mention helpful sites like All Ears. However, they are very protective of their sponsors (understandably) and the rules are clearly stated in the Terms of Service. The mods run a tight ship but it also prevents people from posting links, advertisements, and going less-than-family-friendly.
I have been a member of I---T for years and found some absolutely wonderful people there. Thankfully there are lots of boards to choose from on the internet, so if one is not right for you, then another will be. I know lots of people who love the Dis boards, whereas I cannot handle them, with less mod involvement and thousands of posts a day.
I happen to like it here too... hope I can stay around!

Everyone out there has their rules, and their reasons for them. And they are no surprise. I only recently started broadening my horizons by looking at other boards (such as this one). I figured the more information I can gather, the better. It's not about competing, or one being better than the other, its about gathering (and sharing) good info. Participating in another community not only increases the available resources, but perhaps allows for a different perspective in some cases.
So, any if given board has rules that perhaps seems over-the-top, I'd just say that too few rules would probably be an even less favorable thing.
