There is a fine line here between "Catholic Identity" and pure religious fundamentalism. The Catholic Church and even more so all the K12 schools, colleges and universities are in the world. College is still college and much of that part of life involves exploring yourself and the wider world around you and how that relates to your beliefs. If you go too far in the idea of "Identity" you risk discounting the world around you and learning about it in a form of mutual personal respect towards things you agree and disagree on. If "identity" is taken too far, the wide world is blocked out and you become stuck in a small, closed box of pure dogma. This often raises walls which is an detriment to an respectful discussion of ideas and positions. Often this does not allow even partial process on some issues as heels are unfairly dug in.

to quote Pope Felix III "not to oppose error is to approve it. and not to defend truth is to suppress it, and indeed to neglect to confound evil men when we can do it, is no less a sin than to encourage them." and "He that sees another in error and endeavors not to correct it, testifies himself to be in error"by Pope Leo I

Deacon Fournier has posted a very powerful article..The Truth hurts..Our Catholic Colleges and Universities are broken and need help..What had Happened at Stubenville is almost if not so a miracle....That model needs to be implimated at all the so called Catholic Colleges. ND needs a complete pruge of its Administration and most of its faculty and they all need to understand that "A Catholic Identity" is what people see when they talk about Georgetown, Holy Cross, Boston College, Belmont Abby and yes Notre Dame ....Lets make sure that the bishops assure us that that is happening at our universities....

Those who believe that ND has lost its Catholic identity do not know Notre Dame. As an alumnus, former faculty member, and father of a recent graduate, my perception is that Notre Dame is much more Catholic in its culture and confidently assertive of its Catholic identity than when I was a student in the early 1970s. This is evident in many ways, including a strong ethic of Christian service led by its Center for Social Concerns, as well as a strong campus ministry program and high attendance at weekday dorm Masses as well as on Sunday. ND's Catholic identity also is evident in instruction and curriculum.
As a great university, ND must be engaged with the world. While President Obama's views are not totally aligned with Catholic doctrine, he is not a Catholic. It is entirely appropriate for ND to have President Obama as commencement speaker because he is the president of all Americans. Further, much of his agenda is consistent with Catholic social teaching on social justice.
ND and other Catholic universities should not use single-issue moral litmus tests to screen presidential commencement speakers -whether that issue be abortion, capital punishment, or carrying out a war characterized by the pope as unjust.

In all kindness and respect to Mr. Fong, as a student of the University of Notre Dame, I have had exactly the opposite experience. I have become more in touch with my faith and have become increasingly more conscious of my obligation to the Church and my fellow neighbor. As I write in my blog at http://bonumteesse.blogspot.com, Notre Dame is not a "Jesus Camp" where one can send their child and expect them to graduate a saint. Despite its problems, Notre Dame still offers the unparalleled opportunity for students to grow in their faith. Because your daughter did not choose this path is not entirely the fault of the University. Notre Dame is suffering a lot under the weight of secularism, and we as students have taken efforts to bring it back to its roots. Still, I don't think I would be the man I am today if I had gone to Steubenville, which may be an excellent university but still falls short of the academic excellence of Notre Dame. I am appalled with recent events on Notre Dame's campus, yes, but I haven't given up the fight yet.

Christ did not come to bring peace, He came to bring the sword. I thank God Jesus did not and does not tolerate sin - He lived truth, suffered for truth, died for truth, then defeated sin by rising from the dead. We can only hope and pray those of us whom are left to fight for truth never tolerate nothing less than His example. He made all things new, why would we step back and tolerate sin? If one is Christian - we can love one another as He loves us, but we can never tolerate sin. It is not an option...

Thank you for the comments. Where is the center for the church in the U.S. I look to the Pope for guidance because there is no one group that stands for our church in the U.S. I don't want to have to hunt down what evey bishop says or wonder why some don't say anything. We need to speak with one voice as there is only one Catholic Church. MV

I am wondering that if the alumni that support ND financially were to immediately start withholding their financial support to the University, possibly Fr. Jenkins would actually have to listen to those that support ND.

My daughter graduated last year from ND. She had shocked me a few times in our conversation about our Faith. Tolerance is a word she brought home one day, and chastised me for not accepting gays and lesbians. I told I do, but not their deeds.
She said I should be more TOLERANT of other.
We argued about that for sometime, including the fact they show "VAGINA MONOLOGUE" in their school.
Her attitude shocked me, because she was not the same girl I sent to ND. Yes, the Catholic School changed her a lot.
although she still does the other Catholic activities I brought up with and more.
May God bless the student of Catholic institutions!

Hello all,The two following calculations just for recreation. Regard, Loi Le.
Those images have just crashed my browser!!!!
Not surprising, since you're at the limit of most calculators' built-in precision. Note that the decimal precision is not exact, since the actual machine representation of the numbers is in binary.
Mathcad returns:-
Same problem as before: Mathcad numerical takes the Pentium IV machine precision or the floating point. How many zillions of these things will you invent ?

The folks over at PLAYMOBIL were kind enough to send Milo a new toy to play with in exchange for a review. Much to Milo's delight we opened up the large, colourful Playmobil 1.2.3 Take-Along Fire Station box and got to....ahem....work....kind of!
When I first saw the picture on the box, I was a little unsure as to how appropriate it would be for an active 3 1/2 year old who is used to playing with the PLAYMOBIL range for slightly older children (the 1.2.3 range is specifically designed for toddlers between the age of 18-36 months.) This didn't seem to bother Milo one bit however and I discovered that there are some discernible advantages to the 1.2.3 range. This primarily being the fact that the pieces are built to withstand a toddler and can therefore hold their own when Milo is bashing and crashing them around (everything absolutely must crash according to Milo!) I like the sturdiness of each of the pieces and even when the ladder was taken off the top of the fire engine (he'd decided it was unnecessary for our emergencies), you can see that it wouldn't easily break.
Milo loved the firemen and the fire engine. We named the men 'John' and 'Edward' and I was sternly told that John takes the seat and Edward gets to sleep in the bed. John knew his place! The fire engine was driven to various emergencies, we saved many a life and then the men came back to have a rest. All in a days hard work for a firefighter!
My favourite part of the toy is the 'Take Along' aspect. All of the pieces can be tidied away in to the box which closes and you are then left with a very nifty little carry case (as shown in the photo below). It's fun for the children to walk around with and it also means packing away the toy at the end of the day is neat and easy, so good for the parents too!
The 1.2.3 Take-Along Fire Station (Meine Mitnehm-Feuerwehrstation) can be bought from PLAYMOBIL here for €34,99.
PLAYMOBIL UK can be found here
PLAYMOBIL Germany can be found here
Below are some more pics showing how much fun Milo had playing with it...
Check out the funky lift!

10 Men Sexier Than Hugh Jackman
By Nicole
Javier Bardem (Vicky Christina Barcelona)
What's that you say? You only know Senor Bardem from last year's Oscar winning film, No Country For Old Men? Then get thee to a computer screen right now and Netflix some of his sultry Spanish films. You won't need subtitles to understand the heat that comes out of his performances in Between Your Legs or Mouth to Mouth. If you're looking to be swept away, then rent The Sea Inside and watch as he uses only his eyes to communicate love as a paraplegic suing the state for the right to die.
Clive Owen (Elizabeth: The Golden Age)
It could be his piercing eyes or his chiseled features, but we think the sexiest part of Clive Owen is his voice. Somewhere between a whisper and melodic lullaby, it's certainly the last thing we'd like to hear before we close our eyes at night.
The "Closer" singer slays us with his bedroom eyes and smooth voice. From his dapper duds to his bedroom ballads, we can't think of a sexier singer dominating the charts.
Justin Timberlake
Oh wait, we just thought of one. The most successful boy band refugee has conquered the charts, the big screen (Shrek 3), the small screen (Saturday Night Live) and a bevy of Hollywood beauties (congrats to Jessica Biel!). We love his sense of humor, just as long as he continues to bring Sexyback to the dance floor.
Zac Efron (High School Musical 3)
We know. It was weird to crush on Zac when he was still a teen, but this babe just turned 21 so you're good to go. Set a reminder in your calendar for Efron's upcoming releases Me and Orson Welles and 17 Again.
Jeffrey Dean Morgan (Grey's Anatomy)
Nominating JDM as a sexy man does not validate the ridiculous ghost sex storyline that brought back the doomed Denny Duquette to Grey's Anatomy this year. However, it's nice to see Morgan on our TV screens every week, even though he's been hard to miss thanks to turns on Supernatural and Weeds. Like so many on others on our list we're drawn in by his dreamy eyes, but we stick around for the entire retrosexual package.

9 Tasting Notes
This black tea is so light tasting and the touch of sweet cinnamon is delicious, especially when both flavours balance really nicely together. The shimmer from the little gold crystal balls makes this tea that much more adorable to me. So good! :)

Anomaly Warzone Earth Review
Tables have turned in the tower defense game, now you attack to defend the earth.
Anomaly warzone earth by 11 bit studios is a PC game that reverses the tables in a tower defense game. Instead of setting up the towers, you will be controlling a wave of units fighting against the invading alien towers.
The story is setup in a scenario that something has fallen on earth in Baghdad and Tokyo; and it has created an anomaly on earth: a region of unexplainable phenomenon. To find out more ground troops must be sent in this anomaly zone to explore. But whatever it is, the aliens don't want you to reach it, by creating defensive turrets to hinder your path. Thus, your overall mission will be to counter the turrets, and save your team till they reach their goal.
The game is given a very action oriented control scheme. Although the game itself is viewed from birds eye view, yet [;ayer controls a commander directly on the ground rather than acting like an invisible god figure from space.
The units under your command are your main firepower. You decide what formation they take, what route they take, what type of more units to buy, which units to upgrade etc. There are variety of units as expected. As you play you unlock new units.The enemy turrets likewise are of different variety and you must find and exploit their weakness (range, speed, action radius etc) to really gain the advantage.
The commander tactics are what puts a pace of continuous action in the game. In other turret defense games, you would just place turrets and just "look" how it goes. When starting this game for first time I was expecting same thing that you decide route of troops and then "look" how it goes. But that is not the case at all. Every second you are involved. You zoom out to blueprints view to change routes of units every now and then.
You will be switching the formations of units to gain tactical advantage against different type of turrets, or for units own safety. Plus your major task as commander will remain "tactical support" commands which include powers like repair, smoke, decoy, air strike etc. You setup these zones which temporarily provide your units advantage. Proper and timely usage of these powers, and salvaging them on battlefield will keep your commander occupied all the time. Thus giving a very lovely action pace to the game.
One more thing I really commend in this game is the mission structure. If you have played Blizzard RTS (Warcraft 3 / Starcraft 2) and other RTS games then you would have seen a huge difference in mission structure of Blizzard games that each mission is a unique experience. Anomaly Warzone Earth delivers that beautiful variety of flavor in missions. Even though core mechanism or gameplay is same. But you will be doing variety of stuff in each mission, like rescuing, escorting, gathering back scattered units, clearing drop zones, crippling enemy shield generators and what not. This really helps keep things fresh as compared to other stale tower defense / anti tower defense games.
Other than the brilliant story mode there is also a free play mode in which waves after waves of tougher alien turrets are evolved on battlefield and you will be given time limits to complete the different objectives. This adds the needed longevity to the singleplayer only game.
For perfectionists there are lots to look forward, with online leaderboards, difficulty levels, steam achievements, medals for how fast, straightforward, brutal etc you were in each mission. These add lots of replay value for those who just don't wanna wade through the game.
The game surly is bang for the buck. Even though made by a fresh indie studio and priced as an indie game; there is nothing short of a AAA quality in this game. From brilliant graphics, special effects, voice acting, cinematic feel to hours and hours of gameplay hidden in this title. Two things that I look forward to in this game are a level editor and DLC. Currently no word from developers have come regarding these two things. But they will be really essential to prolong this game. Developers are currently busy in releasing this game for iOS devices, but hopefully once that is out of the way; we will surly see some more free / paid DLC coming out for this gem.
The Scorecard | |||||||
Lovely pace of game, lots of things to keep you occupied. Variety of mission types. |
Sharp visuals, beautiful special effects and lovely use of light and shadows. | ||||
The voice overs are spot on. Although music is forgettable but suits the mood. |
Price is sweat. There ain't no multiplayer, but free mode will keep you occupied. | ||||
If sweaty palms is your definition of fun then it sure will be fun. |
One of the best indie games you will play this year for sure. Rivals AAA games. |

Addition of 130 middle-income condos to development that introduced the first new housing in Arverne in over 25 years
New Housing Marketplace Plan to Create Affordable Housing for 500,000 New Yorkers is Part of the Bloomberg Administration's Five Borough Economic Opportunity Plan
Queens, May 27, 2009 – The New York City Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) joined The Briarwood Organization in celebrating the final phase of construction at the 210-unit Waters Edge development. The 40 two-family homes of the development's first phase, completed in 2001, represented the first new housing built in the Arverne in over 25 years and the additional 130 middle-income condo units of Waters Edge at Arverne Condominium contribute to the continuing revitalization of an area that was once a thriving beach resort. The creation and preservation of affordable housing in neighborhoods across New York City is part of the City's Five Borough Economic Opportunity Plan to implement a vision for long-term economic growth. HPD and Briarwood were joined by Queens Borough President Helen M. Marshall; Marian Zucker, Executive Vice President of "nyhomes;" and representatives of J.P. Morgan Chase and the Housing Partnership Development Corporation ("The Partnership").
Located on four "infill" sites between Beach 59th Street and Beach 62nd Street just across from the Rockaway Boardwalk and the famous Rockaway Beach, this second and final phase consists of 130 newly constructed two- and three-bedroom condominiums. The units, which offer amenities such as off street parking, a private garage on the lower level, plush wall to wall carpeting and a balcony on the upper level, are priced at $185,900 to $193,400 for the two-bedroom condos and $314,100 to $323,500 for the three-bedroom condos. The units are restricted to families making up to 175 percent of the HUD Income Limits ($134,400 per year for a family of four) and purchasers can take advantage of an $8,000 homebuyer tax credit and up to $4,000 in developer's incentives.
"Waters Edge at Arverne is yet another example of the way in which public-private partnerships can have such a positive effect on our city and its many communities," said HPD Commissioner Rafael E. Cestero. "These once vacant lots now contain quality, affordable homes for our city's working families, adding a shot of energy to the surrounding community and strengthening the borough and the city as a whole."
"Today's ribbon-cutting at Water's Edge opens another chapter in the continuing story of growth, quality housing and infrastructure improvements on the Rockaway Peninsula," said Queens Borough President Helen M. Marshall. "Thanks to the Briarwood Organization, the City Department of Housing Preservation andDevelopment and other agencies, including my office, the borough has a new stock of affordable housing that is not only attractive but comes with a waterfront view. This could not happen without collaboration – the private and public sectors working together – on a combined goal to provide quality housing that strengthens neighborhoods and broadens horizons."
"Days like today make the colossal efforts that go into developing affordable housing in the city all worth it," said Vincent Riso, Managing Member of the Briarwood Organization. "The opportunity to celebrate this milestone with one of the New Yorkers who has bought at Waters Edge is tremendously rewarding. Thanks to the generous subsidies of our partners, a hard working school psychologist and her two young daughters will now be able to call the new revitalized Rockaways home."
"Being a mother of two and having a wonderful job at 27 years old is a blessing. But living in a city in which expenses are ever growing is not easy," said Arwina Vallejo, an owner of one of the Waters Edge condos. "Then I discovered the HPD affordable housing program. And today I am the proud owner of a condo at Waters Edge. This is what affordable housing is all about."
During the first half of the twentieth century, Rockaway was an affluent beach resort, but through the 1950's the area declined until over 300 acres along the shoreline were designated an Urban Renewal Area in 1964 and eventually cleared by city-sponsored demolition. With the help of HPD, the NYC Department of Environmental Protection (DEP), The Partnership and the office of the Queens Borough President, Briarwood transformed this long vacant property by investing millions of dollars in infrastructure work, including the construction of a new storm sewer system.
With Phase II construction costs totaling more than $42 million, development was financed in large part by a $24.7 million construction loan from J.P. Morgan Chase Bank. HPD, the Queens Borough President and DEP each contributed $3 million, $1.8 million and $430,000, respectively, to help defray the costs of the development's substantial infrastructure work. In addition, the development received $2.8 million in New York State Affordable Housing Corporation (AHC) funds directed through The Partnership, helping to keep the units affordable for the city's middle-income families.
"The Housing Partnership is always proud to see the efforts of our long working relationship with organizations such as Briarwood come to fruition," said Daniel Martin, the President and CEO of the Partnership. "We were excited to collaborate with the NYC Department of Housing Preservation and Development and the New York State Affordable Housing Corporation in bringing affordable housing like Waters Edge to the communities that need it the most."
Marian Zucker, Executive Vice President of "nyhomes" of which AHC is a part, said, "We at 'nyhomes' were happy to partner with New York City, the Housing Partnership Development Corporation and The Briarwood Organization to build the Waters Edge at Averne Condominium. New York State is dedicated to promoting sustainable homeownership, which will help build neighborhoods and revive our economy. That is what Waters Edge will do and we congratulate our partners for bringing these new homes to the Averne community."
The Waters Edge at Arverne development is part of HPD's Large Scale Arverne Program consisting of Water's Edge and two other developments in the Arverne Urban Renewal Area (URA): Arverne by the Sea and Arverne East. The Arverne URA in Southeast Queens spans 308-acre and is adjacent to the Atlantic Ocean. The URA is bounded by Beach 32nd Street, Beach 84th Street, Beach 74th Street, Rockaway Freeway, Rockaway Beach Boulevard, and the Rockaway Boardwalk.
HPD is overseeing a comprehensive neighborhood development plan for the area that will bring a mix of housing types, commercial development, a community school, a nature preserve and recreational opportunities for area residents and visitors. When it is finished, it will have created over 4,000 units of new housing, 1,136 of which will be reserved for households earning up to 175% of HUDIL.
The Large Scale Arverne Program is part of Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg's $7.5 billion New Housing Marketplace Plan (NHMP) to create and preserve 165,000 units of affordable housing. The NHMP is part of the Mayor's Five Borough Economic Opportunity Plan aimed at bringing New York City through the current economic downturn as quickly as possible. To date, the NHMP has created or preserved over 85,000 units of affordable housing.

The NYC Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD)
HPD's mission is to promote quality housing and viable neighborhoods for New Yorkers. It is the nation's largest municipal housing preservation and development agency. Responsible for implementing Mayor Bloomberg's New Housing Marketplace Plan to build and preserve 165,000 units of affordable housing, HPD also actively promotes the preservation of affordable housing through education, outreach, loan programs and enforcement of housing quality standards.

New York City's Five Borough Economic Opportunity Plan
The Five Borough Economic Opportunity Plan is a comprehensive strategy to bring New York City through the current economic downturn as fast as possible. It focuses on three major areas: creating jobs for New Yorkers today, implementing a long-term vision for growing the city's economy, and building affordable, attractive neighborhoods in every borough. Taken together, the initiatives that the City has launched to achieve these goals will generate thousands of jobs and put New York City on a path to economic recovery and growth.

The Briarwood Organization has been a trusted developer and builder of new homes, cooperatives, condominiums, apartments and commercial properties since 1912. In addition, the company is both a residential and commercial property manager.

Medical Beauty Treatments Expected to Gain in Europe
Posted: January 8, 2010
Medical beauty treatment sales will be on the mend again in the next years after a decline of about 15% in 2009 in Europe, with more women looking for natural-looking touch-ups and pampering in increasingly popular medical spas.
IMCAS, the International Master Course on Aging Skin, expects beauty therapies including laser treatments, breast enlargements and wrinkle-filling injections to grow 5–10% a year worldwide until 2013.
The financial crisis meant the keenest users by far of medical aesthetic treatments, women, pruned spending on their quest for youthful appearances or beauty in whatever shape or form. Revenues in the medical aesthetic treatment industry as a whole fell 15% to $4.30 billion due to fewer surgical acts and a 40% decrease in energy-based therapy equipments like ultrasound massages or laser skin treatments.
However, wrinkle fillers and active cosmetics—creams that contain vitamins or promise to lift the skin—resisted the crisis best, down 0–5% in 2009.
The segment should grow an annual 10% in the next years with 15% growth seen for botulinum toxin shots that smooth out wrinkles on the forehead or between the eyes. Botulinum toxin, mainly known via Allergan's Botox brand, which is recently facing competition from Ipsen's Azzalure, is the most popular beauty therapy, followed by hyaluronic acid jabs to fill the folds of the skin around the mouth and cheeks.

+ Get 'em while they're hot
And I'm talking tickets; the women (and men) of Black Diamond Burlesque are always hot.
I attended the troupe's September show, and it was a blast, from the whipped cream and gorilla suit, right down to the clothes-eating snake. And I haven't been able to get Top Hat Dave's tassels out of my head since that show.
It might seem early to buy tickets for an Oct. 20 show, but the the group sold a quarter of the October show's tickets before they even went on stage this month.
I hear it's going to be a Halloween-themed affair — full of tricks, treats and lots of tease. Call 925-FUNY for tickets or go online to mccurdyscomedy.com.

Drag Queen Bingo will still take place every Friday in its new home at The Players Theatre. Miss Beneva Fruitville announced last week that, starting in October, The Players would take on the queens in all of their glory.
+ Young boy enjoys first museum visit
Local writer Pamela Beck has a column, called ARTdart, on Sarasota Visual Art's website. One of her recent columns about art and youthfulness is a not-to-be missed piece.
Beck's piece recaps the story of a John and Mable Ringling Museum of Art docent's recent tour. The docent was in awe of Michael, a little boy on her tour. Michael's excitement and enthusiasm, as told by Beck, was impressive and scholarly.
He asked questions and had an almost professional take on seeing the museum for the first time. The story reminds you to trust future generations and to see things through innocent eyes.

Here at Shirt.Woot, we're always trying to listen to our community, to meet your needs, gain your trust, and take your money. So for the proverbial "limited time", we're offering our daily shirt designs on your choice of our current Anvil blanks for $12 or American Apparel blanks for $13. Think of it as a low-calorie, less messy alternative to the McRib.
You guys wouldn't happen to have any opinions about this particular issue, would you? Let fly in the forums below. And enjoy the choice while it lasts, because it won't last long.
I have bought dozens of Woot shirts, but only one (for myself) since the switch to Anvil, and I was disappointed in the quality. The stitching wasn't straight, the material felt thinner, and the collar curled after a single wash. Having American Apparel back as an option (even at a $1 premium) might be enough to get me to buy some shirts here again. Kudos.
I appreciate the option. You might actually get some money from me during this... I've bought no new shirts since the change, and I used to buy all the time. I hope that listening to your customers will benefit your company. For the record, I did try the new shirts, and was disappointed (Grim Optimism remix).
Volunteer Moderator
Niiiiiiiiiice. And here I had just about succeeded in convincing myself that 5 dozen or so tshirts were more than enough for a lifetime. Now here's to hoping you print a bunch of designs I like during this experiment. Thank you so much, woot, for doing this!
"Vote with your wallet" - well, let's do that folks. Lots of people said they'd pay more to have AA back, and now it's back, so let's prove to the Woot overloads that we prefer it!
Wake me up after the reaction to whatever shirtwoot! commits to after the choice goes away ; ) Until then, enjoy your options, those that want 'em. I'll enjoy no price increase...yet.

Now we have to hope the shirt designs are popular, too.
Opinions!? We've got plenty of opinions. I'm sure you'll be hearing a few of them. I like the Anvils so this makes no difference to me, but I do like that people too small to wear the Anvil small and the t-shirt connoisseurs who prefer the AA can have their t-shirts and wear them too.
This is a great idea. Alas, a day late, and I am a dollar short.
I always think of dailies and derby winners as two different categories. The wording seems to imply both are the same for these purposes. Clarify?
Well, I won't hesitate to buy if it's a fun design. Of course I wish I could get items from the top 20, and the back list in AA. Thank you for taking a step closer. 8)
I'm definitely in support of this. The Quality definitely wasn't there on the Anvil Shirts. I'll Gladly pay an extra dollar for an AA shirt. Here's hoping you guys make this permanent!
STELLAR! Been waiting for this option for countless months. Now my wallet is running away in fear, it knows what it is in for when the right designs roll around...
This doesn't affect me at all, but I'm glad people who want it have the option. For the record I was super pissed about the change to Anvil blanks because I'd used Anvil shirts for my own screenprinting and they sucked terribly, but I must have been using different fabric blends or something because I really do like the Anvil shirts that Woot is using. Having options is good. I'm happy with either the AA or Anvil blanks.
I feel the EXACT opposite. the Anvil shirts I have bought seem thicker and don't wear out as fast.

YAY!!!!! Now bring on Unstealthy 5 and please reconsider and offer the AA option on the Top 20 (I would buy 3 more Unstealthy 4 if they were offered as AA).
I only bought one shirt after the change, so I am excited to pay more!
Hey mods/purchasers, I've got a little input on the Anvil vs. AA debate! I am a pretty large guy, yet I prefer the so-called "slim-fitting" AA shirts better. I wear a 3X in both AA and Anvil, but the thing I like best about the AA shirts is that AA shirts are a fair bit longer! With the new Anvil shirts, I basically have to wear a wife beater under my shirt because at 6'4", the Anvil shirts are just too short if I don't keep my arms at my sides (wearing an extra layer is a pretty big problem here in Florida, especially in the summer). AA shirts, on the other hand, are plenty long enough for me! Not to mention the fact that they're more comfortable and the stitching is better on AA's, but think of the length difference for guys like if you would, Woot!
Thank you! Now to wait for a design I want to own. I will absolutely be shopping for shirts again. Just in time for summer, if we can ever move past winter in the Ozarks!
This is fantastic news, thank you so much! I LOVED the quality, fit and feel of the AA shirts (tall, thin guy here) and am pleased to have them back, even for a $1+ premium. I'm pretty sure I was one of the ones that said they would be willing to pay more for the AA, back when the change over first happened. I will say that after getting a few Anvils I was pleased with the printing (more or less, though a few odd stitching mistakes made shoulders lopsided). BUT, I am overjoyed to have the AA option! Please consider keeping them, or even expanding it to all designs! Now, off to buy today's shirt, which thankfully is a design I like
Color me pleasantly surprised. I hope if this goes over well that you will offer the back catalog in AA. There were quite a few shirts I passed up on because of the Anvil blanks that I would really like to purchase. Too bad I don't like the shirt today, hope I see something I like before "a limited time" is up.
I forgot to add this:
I have had the opposite experience with a majority of my wardrobe Woot shirts.... Fewer random holes in the Anvil shirts over time.
Hi, How slim-fit are the AA's? I looked at the sizing chart and the width is indicated as being the same. I like a loose t-shirt (and so far woot's been fine there) but I also like long t-shirts. Should I order a size extra or would that be going too far? Thanks.
Would you elaborate? I have really liked the Anvil shirts, but you see, a Grim Optimism replacement is seriously overdue for me. The shirt color, the 2nd run coloring, what? What I would REALLY love is for the design to be split on a zipper hoodie, and I have suggested it.
AJLo wrote: For the record, I did try the new shirts, and was disappointed (Grim Optimism remix).
As a lady, I really prefer the AA to the anvil. The fabric is more fitting an they're not so short. Plus, the fabric of the anvils feels very cheap, and I have to be careful not to put them in the wash, or their shape is pretty much ruined forever. I will almost certainly buy more shirts if you continue to make them available on AAs. I can actually think of a few of my favorite shirts I would rebuy on AAs, given the chance.
I saw today's shirt and thought to myself - wow what a nice shirt - too bad i've been shying away from woot shirts since the change. THEN I saw the "also available on..." note. Bought one immediately. http://i197.photobucket.com/albums/aa73/lil_spaz_of_god/robocop-2.jpg
Why on earth would I want a better quality shirt?
Would definitely prefer to order the AA shirts. The sizing was better for me, and the material felt nicer.
Way to go, woot team. I've never had a problem with the anvil shirts but I know many people have had fit and size issues, especially with the women's tees. I hope the logistics of this aren't too tricky. Making everybody happy is never easy.
collin1000 wrote:"Vote with your wallet" - well, let's do that folks. Lots of people said they'd pay more to have AA back, and now it's back, so let's prove to the Woot Great and powerful Oz that we prefer it!
We need to bring back all the people that left Shirt.Woot! because of the Anvil blanks, though. Everyone who knows someone who left needs to tell them they need to come back, check every day, and vote with their wallet. Unfortunately, I don't know anyone.
If anyone is still monitoring this thread, I would like to add my WOOHOO! to the AA. Anvil shirts are terrible. I live in a wheelchair, and they're short, and they pull up so my backfat hangs out, and there are some things that nobody should see.
Add another yay to the AA option. I was a shirtwoot addict until the change. I tried the Anvil tees, but I hated their fit and feel. I'd end up taking off the Anvil shirt and putting on an AA shirt with a sigh of relief. I've been ponying up for other places that sell on the AA women's blanks, but that gets expensive real quick. Here's hoping an appealing daily turns up soon! I love Walmazan, but not a buy for this veggie girl.
Me too. I have the same problems with the collars of the Anvil shirts curling. Once they are washed they are pretty much useless. I have been very reluctant to buy new shirts because the quality has been so poor.
Curious. I wonder if the reason to stick to first day is one of logistics or one of statistics? Either way, I'd buy that for a dollar.
Unfortunately, this is a too little, too late. A lot of people are still upset at the more expensive cart option and increased price in shipping. Are the AA shirts still made in America? I have not purchased a t-shirt from Woot (check my history, ninjas) since they switched t-shirts, increased the price and decreased the quality. My moobs look great in fitted shirts!!!!!!!!!

Canon's small cameras have always had a clean, conservative look about them. For some reason, Canon apparently decided that the SD4500 IS should deviate from this standard a bit as its basic rectangular shape has been altered by cutting off the corners. This looks rather strange to me but some may find it appealing. On the other hand I was impressed by the solid feel of the mostly metal body. I also was very pleased with the color of the camera I reviewed, an attractive chocolate brown. The camera is available in traditional silver as well.
The SD4500 IS is large for an Elph camera at 6.7 ounces (190g), including battery and memory card, but its dimensions of 3.99x2.3x0.88 inches definitely put it into the small camera class. Canon claims it is the thinnest camera with a 10x optical zoom lens and I have no reason to doubt it. The SD4500 IS is shipped with an NP-9L lithium ion battery, battery charger, USB cable, AV cable, wrist strap, a CD containing a new version of Canon's photo organizing software, ZoomBrowser EX, and a brief paper manual. A comprehensive 180 page User Guide is contained on the CD. You can buy the camera direct from Canon for $349.99 but I've seen it online from reputable retailers for under $300.
Ergonomics and Controls
Apart from its cut-off corners, the SD4500 IS has a very traditional appearance with a large, centrally-located lens at its front and a 3.0-inch TFT LCD monitor dominating the rear. Other than the lens, the front of the camera contains only a thin flash in the upper right-hand corner, two microphone openings for its stereo sound capability, and an AF assist/self timer lamp. The corner location of the flash means the owner will have to be careful of blocking it when using the left hand to support the camera.
One side of the SD4500 IS contains the mount for the wrist strap. The other contains a port for connecting the AV and USB cables as well as a separate connection for an HDMI cable. The plastic port cover is attached to the camera body by a thin piece of rubbery material, so care must be taken when handling it.
The bottom of the camera contains a plastic tripod socket located toward the side of the camera. A metal tripod socket is preferable to one made of plastic as the metal socket is less likely to wear out. The camera's bottom also contains a compartment for the battery and a second compartment for the memory card. The compartment covers are plastic but fairly sturdy. The SD4500 IS can use several different memory cards - SD, SDHC, SDXC, MultiMediaCard, MMCplus, HC MMCplus and Eye-Fi.
The camera's top portion contains the shutter button encircled by a zoom control ring, a power button, a mode switch with settings for movies, program and auto, and a speaker hole. The controls worked well overall, but I noticed a slight hesitation every time I used the zoom control.
The rear of the camera contains the aforementioned 3.0-inch TFT LCD monitor. To the right of the LCD are two grooves which aid the thumb in gripping the camera. Next to the thumb grip is a dedicated movie button, which starts recording a movie when pressed and ends the movie when pressed again. This has become increasingly common in newer digital cameras and for a good reason. Taking movies is usually something that users will do on the spur of the moment, and it is much quicker to simply press a movie button than wading through the camera's menu trying to find the movie mode.
Below this is a circular controller, which can be turned to change settings and pressed to bring up certain options - left for macro, up for self-timer, right for flash and down for display. A func/set button in the center of the controller allows you to select a menu option or bring up the shortcut menu. Below the controller is a menu button, to call up the camera's menu system, and below that a playback button, to review photos that have already been taken.
These buttons are nice and large and would seem to be easy to manipulate but, for some reason, I often had a tough time pressing the menu button strongly enough to have it take effect. With the exception of the difficult menu button, the system is one that is tried and true works well.
Menus and Modes
The SD4500 IS uses Canon's dual menu system - a comprehensive menu activated by the menu button and a shortcut menu called up by pressing the func/set button. The menu options differ based on the shooting mode, and menus are logically set forth and easy to understand.
Here are the various shooting modes:
The SD4500 IS has a 3.0-inch LCD in a 16x9 configuration with approximately 230,000 dots. The monitor can be adjusted to one of five different levels of brightness. The monitor displays bright colors but it can be hard to see in sunny conditions. As is the case with virtually all small digital cameras, the SD4500 IS lacks a viewfinder.

On George Osborne, voting, and why Russell Brand is wrong
Another day, another round of government policies to be denounced. Today, of course, we had Osborne's Autumn Statement, with the much-trailed plan to raise the State Pension age to 70 for young workers, and a cap on overall welfare spending (excluding pensions and Jobseekers' Allowance).
The justification for the former, of course, is that this is just an inevitable consequence of average life expectancy increasing. This will, I'm sure, come as great comfort to the young men of Manchester, who will on average already have been dead for a little over three months by the time they're actually eligible to get their pension (going on life expectancy for 1993-95, the period when today's young workers were born). As for the latter, Osborne's apparent rationale is simply that, despite the wonderful economic recovery he claims to have brought about, and despite Cameron's recent admission that austerity is a political means to an end and not an economic necessity, we just can't afford it.
With all that said though, I don't particularly want to get bogged down in the details of precisely why these policies are unfair or not. What's more interesting is to consider why it was these policies were chosen – even if you take it as a given that as a heartless Tory Osborne's going to cut spending on something, why pick a rise in the State Pension age for current young workers rather than say, a cut in the State Pension for those claiming it at the moment? There are any number of reasons of course, but one of them can be summed up very simply: Russell Brand.
I don't solely mean Brand himself, of course. It would be more accurate to say that I mean stuff like this:
I have never voted. Like most people I am utterly disenchanted by politics. Like most people I regard politicians as frauds and liars and the current political system as nothing more than a bureaucratic means for furthering the augmentation and advantages of economic elites. Billy Connolly said: "Don't vote, it encourages them," and, "The desire to be a politician should bar you for life from ever being one."
I don't vote because to me it seems like a tacit act of compliance; I know, I know my grandparents fought in two world wars (and one World Cup) so that I'd have the right to vote. Well, they were conned. As far as I'm concerned there is nothing to vote for. I feel it is a far more potent political act to completely renounce the current paradigm than to participate in even the most trivial and tokenistic manner, by obediently X-ing a little box.
This point of view didn't begin with Russell Brand – as he says, plenty of people share his opinion. But – if we take people's decision to vote or not as an indicator of the totality of their political disenchantment – it's not actually the majority view. Turnout at the last General Election was 65%, or just under two-thirds. It's almost certainly accurate to say that a majority of people are jaded by mainstream politics and cynical about politicians, but most people apparently aren't far enough gone to abandon voting altogether. In fact, if you look at the statistics, there's only one group (of those analysed) for whom the voter turnout was under 50%: 18-24 year olds.
That, in a nutshell, is why young people are getting screwed. 76% of pensioners voted in 2010, compared to 44% of young adults; whose interests is the government more likely to look after, do you think? And as a follow-up, is encouraging this disengagement likely to lead to things getting better for young people, or worse? Not exactly the trickiest one to call, is it?
That's not to say that all political issues can be reduced to simplistic questions of intergenerational unfairness – I'm not saying the left's response to the Autumn Statement should be "why not go after the pensioners for a change?" But if there's no chance of you voting them out of office, the government doesn't care about you. It's that simple. This isn't to take the ludicrous Robert Webb-type view by which voting is apparently the beginning and end of civic engagement in society – obviously demonstrations, strikes, occupations and the like can all make an important difference as well, and there'll be times and places when getting involved with them is crucial. But to put it bluntly, if you're rioting in the streets about student debt or unemployment it's going to be a hell of a lot cheaper for the government to pay the overtime for a few more TSG goons officers than it would be for them to actually fund universities properly or to stop cutting benefits.
Plenty of people, of course, will probably at this point be tempted to reiterate Brand's point about being so disgusted with politicians and the entire political system to vote for any of them. Tough. By all means feel disgusted – given the current state of British politics, that's an entirely sensible reaction. But this is more important than your precious feelings, so get over yourself. Not getting screwed over by the Tories will take a lot more than disregarding Russell Brand's advice about voting, but it might be a good start.

Fox penning is a blood sport in which dozens of dogs compete in a fenced-in area to chase—and sometimes rip apart—foxes and coyotes. Trapped in the wild and sold to fox pens, often in other states, the fox or coyote must run for his life inside fences where there is no hope of getting away.
Grisly from start to finish, fox penning begins when the steel jaws of a leghold trap snap shut on a coyote or fox, inflicting terrible pain. A trapper removes the animal from the trap and packs her into a cage with other injured animals.
The caged animals may be hauled hundreds of miles. With no food or water, some animals die on the trip. Once bought by pen operators, the foxes and coyotes provide amusement for participants who travel from state to state to wager on their dogs.
With dogs tearing apart the captive animals, there is a constant demand for fresh wildlife for the fox pens.

Judging Borrowers by the Company They Keep
Friendship Networks and Information Asymmetry in Online Peer-to-Peer Lending
The authors study the online market for peer-to-peer (P2P) lending, in which individuals bid on unsecured microloans sought by other individual borrowers.
Using a large sample of consummated and failed listings from the largest online P2P lending marketplace — Prosper.com — they found that the online friendships of borrowers act as signals of credit quality. Friendships increase the probability of successful funding, lower interest rates on funded loans, and are associated with lower ex-post default rates.
The economic effects of friendships show a striking gradation based on the roles and identities of the friends. They discuss the implications of the findings for the disintermediation of financial markets and the design of decentralized electronic markets.

David Fleischer is a litigation partner in the New York office of Haynes and Boone. He has more than 30 years of experience litigating cases across multiple industries and areas of law. His practice primarily concentrates on high-stakes business litigation in the entertainment, real estate and bankruptcy areas.
David regularly represents clients in a wide range of commercial litigation matters, including intellectual property and contract disputes, real estate litigation, consumer class actions, governmental investigations, bankruptcy and creditors' rights and corporate governance. He regularly appears in state and federal courts as well as arbitration and mediation forums throughout the United States.
In December 2011 David secured summary judgment dismissing copyright infringement claims against Marvel Entertainment and its licensees by a comic book writer claiming ownership of the copyright in Marvel's Ghost Rider character featured in a blockbuster film released in 2007 and to be featured in another film scheduled for release in 2012.
David represented Marvel Entertainment in a declaratory judgment action seeking to invalidate copyright termination notices issued on behalf of the heirs of Jack Kirby, which sought to obtain rights in numerous iconic Marvel characters including The Incredible Hulk, The Fantastic Four, Iron Man, Nick Fury and many others. A decision rendered in August 2011 granted Marvel Entertainment's motion for summary judgment invalidating the termination notices.
In March 2010 David secured dismissal on behalf of Marvel Entertainment of a lawsuit seeking more than $750 million in damages and other relief. The would-be derivative plaintiffs in that action claimed that Stan Lee signed over to Stan Lee Media, a now defunct company with which Mr. Lee is no longer affiliated, rights to iconic characters he created while employed by Marvel, including Spider-Man, Ironman and The Incredible Hulk. Manhattan federal district court Judge Paul Crotty held that the plaintiffs lacked standing, had filed claims barred by the statute of limitations, and failed adequately to plead legally sufficient claims. In a related action by Stan Lee Media collaterally attacking the dismissal of the derivative claims David obtained a 28-page decision in February 2011 rejecting the collateral attack on Judge Crotty's decision. In February 2011 David also secured a judgment on Marvel Entertainment's behalf declaring that Marvel's contractual obligation to pay royalties on sales of a very successful Spider-Man role play toy terminated upon expiration of a patent related to the toy. In a related action, in January 2012, on summary judgment David obtained a declaratory judgment to the effect that Marvel had satisfied any obligation it might have had to negotiate a royalty agreement related to that Spider-Man toy after expiration of the patent.
Additional representative matters include:
David was selected for inclusion in New York - Metro Super Lawyers 2010-2012 and is AV® Peer Review Rated Preeminent by Martindale-Hubbell® Law Directory.
