Wally Backman Post Ejection Video
Devlin the Intern just sent me this video of Wally Backman from after that famous tirade we posted the other day. (If you haven't watched the original yet wake up and get in the game)
Anyway even though sequels are never as good as the original, except maybe with the Godfather, I still felt like people needed to see this. I guess this Playing For Peanuts website is slow leaking tons of Wally Backman footage over the next couple months so this may become like a weekly feature at the Stool. "What did Wally Backman do today?"
PS – Just in case you're too lazy to click on the original here it is. Sometimes you got to spoon feed the Stoolies like 2 year olds.

My issue is when you have Ryan Harrison playing a nobody on one court and someone like Kerber playing Radwanska on another court and they opt to show the American. I would even be okay if they showed both, start off w.the women and its likely when that match is over the men will still be playing.
I do agree with u that if Nadal/Fed/Djoko is playing an early round and its not the least bit competitive then it's not necessary to show the entire match.
ESPN used to be really bad, but through the years they've gotten a little better...and it seems that the women finally are getting equal coverage, or at least more than they used to get.
I noticed that too! It's like that flipped and reversed roles...lol
I think it's my original theory about the lack of American men in the draw.
Its still bad. There is open rooting for the American players and tonight, after 2 hours of coverage, with the exception of Li Na, you'd never know there was anyone except an American who has played all day.
They just spent 20 minutes showing some nobody American male whose name begins with an S who no one has never heard of, who after losing the first set 6-0 to Ferrer wins a couple of games in the second set and all of the sudden deserves prime time coverage. And who gives a flying f*** about Brian Baker?

I have heard of and seen many home brewers do exactly that.. Just what you want to do after a nice long day of brewing. All it takes is that one split second, and 5, 6, 8 hours of brewing is all over. Hopefully, you or someone you knew walked without any injury. We realize that glass carboys are much cheaper than our Stainless Steel "Cavern". However, we need to think of safety. What's more important? Having some extra money in your wallet and not being able to walk because you sliced some major tendons in your foot after dropping that glass carboy? Our goal is to provide a safer environment for the home brewer. Just take a moment..and check out our site. This will make us feel better knowing that we sent you in the right direction. http://www.dwbrewproducts.com Deep Wood Brew Products

Putting this on my Christmas list..
OTOH, the growlers are pretty sweet! I just put those on my xmas list. Perhaps you should be marketing those a bit more aggressively? (I'm thinking they fit in the average home brewers budget a bit better than the carboys?)
wow, really really nice...
I bought the growler that looks like a keg. It's pretty sweet. Everyone that's seen it loved it.
Maybe I missed it, but what grade of stainless are those? They look pretty sweet.
I love the idea of stainless growlers, but I don't know why the manufacturers have not taken it a step further and put a ball-lock gas in post on it so you can pressurize it. I understand from the description that you can prime these which is great unless you do not plan on drinking the whole growler in one sitting.

BSE Sensex gains for 6th day; Obama victory helps
MUMBAI (Reuters) - The BSE Sensex rose for a sixth session on Wednesday, marking its highest close in near 4-1/2 weeks, as SBI rose on hopes of better asset quality in September quarter results, while other lenders such as ICICI Bank rose in anticipation of better loan growth in the holiday season.
The gains also tracked a rally in global shares after U.S. President Barack Obama was re-elected, signalling no dramatic shift in U.S. economic policy. Attention now switches to Greece where parliament votes later in the day on an austerity package.
"U.S President Barack Obama's re-election is sentimentally positive for India and Indian markets," said R.K Gupta, managing director at Taurus Mutual Fund.
However, with the quarterly earnings season nearing its end and euphoria over government reforms subsides, focus would shift to India's yawning fiscal gap, dealers said.
India will likely miss its revised fiscal deficit target for the financial year ending in March, a Reuters poll showed, putting a question mark over the country's efforts to avert a credit rating downgrade.
Investors would now start scrutinising the government's fiscal condition amid worries if reforms in insurance and pension will pass muster in the winter session of parliament, Gupta added.
The Sensex rose 0.45 percent, or 85.03 points, to end at 18,902.41, bringing its gains to 2.55 percent over the past six sessions.
The 50-share Nifty rose 0.62 percent, or 35.70 points, to 5,760.10, marking its highest close since October 4.
State Bank of India rose 2 percent on hopes of better-than-expected results and lower non-performing loans in the September quarter, with results due on Friday.
The bank's chairman, Pratip Chaudhuri, said SBI's September quarter non-performing asset position was looking better than that of the June quarter.
Among other financial stocks ICICI Bank (ICBK.NS) rose 1.1 percent, while Housing Development and Finance Corporation (HDFC.NS) settled 2 percent higher, after hitting a 52-week high of 805.85 rupees intraday.
Jubilant Foodworks (JUBI.NS), a fast food chain operator, rose 2.93 percent after the company reported a surge of 36.67 percent in September quarter net profit to 323.5 million rupees.
Reliance Capital (RLCP.NS) gained 3.03 percent after reporting July-September net profit of 4.01 billion rupees versus 330 million rupees in the year-ago quarter.
However, Bharti Airtel (BRTI.NS) shares fell 1 percent, after earlier rising as much as 2.6 percent, as investors factored in a one-off gain related to a telecom tribunal's judgment that boosted revenue and profit. <I D :nL3E8M7925>
Bharti's consolidated net profit fell 30 percent from a year earlier to 7.21 billion rupees for the three months to September, despite a one-off gain of 2.39 billion rupees from an outstanding dispute over inter-connect charges.
Shares in Cadila Healthcare (CADI.NS) fell 3.14 percent after reporting a 7.34 percent fall in July-September earnings, as a forex loss affected results.
Tata Power Co Ltd (TTPW.NS) fell 2.5 percent after posting a surprise second-quarter loss on Tuesday, hit by higher finance and depreciation costs at its power projects and lower revenue from its coal units.
The company posted a consolidated net loss of 838 million rupees, compared with a net loss of 11.9 billion rupees a year earlier. Revenue rose 22 percent to 76.5 billion rupees, helped by the commissioning of new units.

__popcnt16, __popcnt, __popcnt64
Visual Studio 2008
Microsoft Specific
Counts the number of one bits (population count) in a 16-, 32-, or 64-byte unsigned integer.
unsigned short __popcnt16( unsigned short value ); unsigned int __popcnt( unsigned int value ); unsigned __int64 __popcnt64( unsigned __int64 value );
Each of these intrinsics generates the popcnt instruction. The size of the value that the popcnt instruction returns is the same as the size of its argument. In 32-bit mode there are no 64-bit general-purpose registers, hence no 64-bit popcnt.
To determine hardware support for the popcnt instruction, call the __cpuid intrinsic with InfoType=0x00000001 and check bit 23 of CPUInfo[2] (ECX). This bit is 1 if the instruction is supported, and 0 otherwise. If you run code that uses this intrinsic on hardware that does not support the popcnt instruction, the results are unpredictable.
#include <iostream> #include <intrin.h> using namespace std; int main() { unsigned short us[3] = {0, 0xFF, 0xFFFF}; unsigned short usr; unsigned int ui[4] = {0, 0xFF, 0xFFFF, 0xFFFFFFFF}; unsigned int uir; for (int i=0; i<3; i++) { usr = __popcnt16(us[i]); cout << "__popcnt16(0x" << hex << us[i] << ") = " << dec << usr << endl; } for (int i=0; i<4; i++) { uir = __popcnt(ui[i]); cout << "__popcnt(0x" << hex << ui[i] << ") = " << dec << uir << endl; } }

They are my first choice of boards, and my first recommendation to anyone looking to buy a freestyle board, for sure.

Except for the Faraday commenter, I'm surprised at all these comments. Cellphones could interfere with the airplane's complex systems(I read this on a flight professionals' blog).
Airplanes do rely partly on WiFi and while they use different bands than passengers', nevertheless, there is still a chance of overlap. FA's don't warn us enough in proportion to the gravity(probably because they think we're stupid) and it really should be better enforced.
-Kindle is OK if you turn the wireless off and don't buy any books while in flight as the books you already have are stored on your device.

Sony Takes Aim at iPad
Company has high hopes for two new tablet computers.
Sony knows the computer tablet road is no easy stroll.
With the new Sony Tablet-S coming out in just a few weeks, they have their eye on both consumers and the dominant tablet player, the Apple iPad.
"We wanted to come out with a unique differentiated product and I think we have," says Sony's Ty Takayanagi. "We've embedded everything that we know about consumers electronics, all of our entertainment assets into one device."
The tablet is truly an extension on the Sony experience, complete with a Play Station feature, Sony e-reader, music and movies on what's called a "true black" screen taken from it's TV technology.
In addition to the traditional tablet, Sony has something else up its sleeve.
It's a much smaller version that you can literally fold up and stick in your pocket.
The dual screen, 13-ounce P-Tablet will be a 4G and sell through AT&T later this year.
Still, sony is late to the game.
"There's always room for another player, but it's getting awfully crowded and Apple has a very very very dominant share," says San Diego State University marketing professor Steven Osinski.
Osinski says other players have come and gone and none has been able to make much of a dent on iPad, but Sony's player has a different feel than the rest.
They hope they'll also have much better luck.
"We've noticed that a lot of tablet manufactures have focused on speed and feeds. Sony wanted to focus more on user experience," Takayanagi says.

I don't know about the five thousand people, but to me this specific pose seems…I don't know. I think it would have looked better if you could see the woman holding the baby or something—this seems almost too "in your face," if you know what I mean. God bless!>

Dudes and divas, what is so appalling about a picture of breast feeding that is on the cover of a baby care magazine?!?!? Are we going Victorian again, going down prude's alley? I'm young, almost 20, from a mixed liberal/conservative background. This pose is au natural, it is NATURAL. Why are we so squemish against that? Does man think he is above nature now, that nature is barbarian?>

This is what God and nature intended the breast to do. It is perfectly natural and should be considered natural and an absolute necessity and benifit for the baby. Except that a large part of society has opt for the bottle and an artificial formula that actually takes away the natural benefits and immune properties of breast milk. Man and men have, with their little, preverted minds made the female breast into a non-functioning sex symbol. Too bad they have such a short sited sense of priotieties. So men take your little penises in hand and shake it extra hard, and stroke it one time for what is right and leave the breast where it belongs in the mouths-of-babes.

From the Yahoo! News article: "There is a real puritanical streak in America," Moran told AFP. "You see celebrities practically baring their breasts all the time and no one seems to mind in this sort of sexual context. "But in this very natural context of feeding your child, a lot of Americans are very uncomfortable with it." *throws up hands in utter confusion*>

When Krishna was but a mere babe, as was Moses, Jesus, Mohamed, Sakyamuni, and many other world and spiritual leaders, their mothers would often feed them where they were when it was time to be fed. For to say God's design reeks with disgust, especially one meant to give life and natural defense against disease, truly disgusts me. We must show love and appreciation to these mothers who rather feed their babies the real stuff instead of manmade formula and the milk of another creature. (No disrepect to the cow or lamb, tho!!)>

Let's not forget there are some mothers who, even though they may want to, for whatever reason, are unable to breastfeed. They don't deserve to be dissed.>

It is a natrual thing to breast feed your baby. It also protects your baby from all kinds of things in the beginning of the infants life. I know there are some mothers who can't breast feed and there are alternatives for them. But if you don't like the picture or don't like seeing a mother breast feed in public, leave or turn and look the other way.>

Breast and Babe are meant to be attached, it is the design of nature. Most young people are shy to be seen breatfeeding in the beginning but after a while it becomes natural. You could have used a better picture but cuddoes for putting breast feeding on the front cover.>

I see nothing wrong with the photo. No nipple is showing nor the woman's face. Just part of a round loving breast with a baby's mouth against it(he's hungry). My son was breast fed as was I. You were probably too. Did your mom think it looked gross? Its natural and more mothers should try it.>

I think it is a beautiful picture. I have never understood the hoopla against breastfeeding in public. I also dislike the shaming of women who cannot breastfeed. We are a strange nation – uptight about nudity and maybe too permissive about sexual exhibitionism, though I think we should worry more about violent images than nudity or sex.>

How sad for the 5000 who could use a little help in softening their rigid thinking. Some say: wake up it is 2006. I say that it is and was always complete BEAUTY to see a baby being nurtured and nursed by its mother. I nurtured my babies in 1952 and 1959 and did not give it a thought what others might think.Eleonore>

Funny how a completely naked woman and the cover of Maxim Magazine showing just as much breast as this picture is considered A-Ok. Maxim doesn't even have to plastic wrap their 'zines at the stands but the sight of a child recieving nourishment from the appropriat source is somehow repugnant to some? I bet those same people aren't offended by pictures of baby cows or horses at their mother's teat. I've said it before and I'll say it again…Rome is Burning>

I see NOTHING wrong with the picture. Cover girls selling Cars or Designer Jeans have shown more. I think it is beautiful just as a pregnant woman is beautiful. My children were breastfed.

I think the picture is sweet. Frankly, the first thing that caught my eye was the baby's face and eyes, then the suckling. Honestly! It's a baby magazine! And I was not offended, even though I was unable to breast feed my first child (bad infection) and chose to bottle feed the second. It's just a sweet picture!>

What more perfect way could there be to depict the purpose of a woman's body……with all the focus on implants and showing of breasts to ecourage sexual thoughts in today's day and age…..I guess beauty is in the eye of the beholder still holds true…..being sexy has it's merits as does the fact that we as humans are gifted to nourish those first days of life…..both with natural defenses and the beauty and warmth that only holding close can provide….the peaceful and content look on the babies face says it all….and it's on a BABY MAGAZINE….Where else might this be appropriate?>

"I only have one subject. The question I am obsessed with is: How do children survive?" Maurice Sendak told Leonard Marcus, a children's book historian, in a 2002 interview. Sendak died today at age 83.
In just 10 sentences, Sendak's "Where the Wild Things Are," illuminated not only the protagonist Max's imagination, but also rage, a reaction to a mother's emotional absence and the overall darker, and neglected, parts of a child's psyche.
Clearly, Max, a young and unruly boy who is punished by his mother and sent to his room without dinner, depends on his mom. But his rage is apparent, and soon his room morphs into a strange forest. He takes a private boat to where the wild things are, and, despite their terrible roars and ghoulish features, manages to become their ruler through a magic trick. Max becomes the "most wild thing of all."
They play, but soon, Max commands them to stop and go to bed without supper, and he finds himself lonely as the king of the wild things, and wants to be where someone loves him "best of all." He returns to his room, where supper is waiting for him, and, with an added reassurance and charm that maybe only Sendak could pointedly portray, Max finds that the food is still hot.
In a 2009 article published in The Psychologist, Richard Gottlieb, a psychoanalyst based in Phoenix, analyzed the influences and motivations behind Sendak's illustrations and writing.
"Sendak's work in 'Where the Wild Things Are' is of particular interest to psychologists due to his strikingly unusual abilities to gain access to, and to represent in words and pictures, fantasies that accompany childish rage states," Gottlieb wrote in the paper.
"It is this capacity, I believe, that contributes to the appeal of his work to children who are unable or unwilling to articulate these states, and to adults who have forgotten them or do not wish to know about them," Gottlieb continued.
Sendak's other children's books, including "In the Night Kitchen" and "Outside Over There," focus on child rage and emotional unavailability of a mother. That rage then manifests in an altered state of consciousness, like a dream or fantasy, Gottlieb wrote. Ultimately, that fury and conflict is reconciled and signified through an otherwise innocuous even. In "Where the Wild Things Are," the reconciliation is represented through the warm food that Max finds from his mother has left for him.
And it likely could have been the author's own childhood from which he was pulling. Sendak was born in Brooklyn in 1928 to parents of Polish descent. In the interview, he told Marcus that his father's family was "destroyed" in the Holocaust.
"I grew up in a house that was in a constant state of mourning," he told Marcus. He also described his mother as disturbed, chronically sad and emotionally unavailable.
In the paper, Gottlieb noted that Sendak was surrounded by psychological proddings and teachings throughout his life, having undergone psychoanalysis for a period of his adult life. His partner, Eugene Glenn, with whom he lived for 50 years, was also a psychoanalyst.
It is disappointments, losses and destructive rage allow children to survive, Gottlieb wrote, and that is what Sendak captured so vividly in "Where the Wild Things Are." The power of art, imagination and daydream allow children to turn traumatic moments into vehicles for survival and growth.
Stanton Peele, a licensed psychologist and attorney who has authored several books on addiction, called Sendak's best-selling book, a "model for mindfulness," in an article for Psychology Today.
"'What an empowering, psychologically astute parable about a child learning that his anger, while sometimes overwhelming and scary, can be safely expressed and eventually conquered," Steele wrote in the article.
When Max leaves his imaginary land, Steele noted in the paper, "he – like the Wild Things – has made substantial progress in resolving his demons and rectifying his relationship with his Mom. And once again, great art has encapsulated a crucial psychological vision."
In a story that seems to ring true to Sendak's authentic perspective on childhood emotions, the author told NPR's Terry Gross in a 2011 interview that one particular correspondence with a young fan has always stuck out in his mind.
After responding to this child with a postcard and a drawing of a Wild Thing, he told Gross, "I wrote, 'Dear Jim, I loved your card.' Then I got a letter back from his mother and she said, 'Jim loved your card so much he ate it.' That to me was one of the highest compliments I've ever received. He didn't care that it was an original drawing or anything. He saw it, he loved it, he ate it."

PETALUMA, Calif. — A Chinese crested's short snout, beady eyes and white whiskers earned it the title of World's Ugliest Dog at the annual contest in Northern California on Friday.
Competing for fame, $1,000 and a year's worth of dog cookies, Mugly won the honor by beating out 28 other ugly dogs from around the world.
The 8-year-old rescue dog from the United Kingdom will also be invited for a photo shoot and will receive a VIP stay at the local Sheraton.

5 Who care about a number?UncleBuck | 05/07/2008 | See all UncleBuck's reviews (19)I bought one of these last week and I couldn't be happier. It's a great looking console with a great game. You're getting a Limited Edition console and a great game for £15 more than a normal PSP costs. That's a bargain.People complaining that it doesn't contain a dumb keychain and a number need to stop. If you want those useless things then I suggest you go to some auction site and pay the crazy price they go for. If you like wasting money that's up to you. This pack contains everything you need. The console and the game.
5 PSPGlasgowWarrior | 15/08/2008 | See all GlasgowWarrior's reviews (9)Having played around with the revised PSP for a few days, we thought it time we let you know our thoughts. Clearly many areas of the handheld remain identical to the original model and as such we won't be covering those in particular detail (but you can always check out our original PSP review), preferring instead to focus on the elements that have changed and how these may or may not improve the PSP experience - which, we suspect, is why you're reading this.The first thing that strikes you when you slide the new PSP out of its slender 23(L) x 12.5(H) x 8(D) cm box is that it feels too light. Even once you've slotted in the new 1200mAh battery (30g compared with the original's 44g 1800mAh model) - at which point you'll also note the battery cover may open more easily but it's also substantially thinner and more brittle - for an overall weight of 190g (compared with 280g), the handheld feels disconcertingly insubstantial.The sense of unfamiliarity continues once you fire the unit up. It's nothing to do with the starting sequence, nor the front-end, both of which obviously remain identical (for those that may want to know, Slim & Lite comes with firmware v3.60 installed), but the new flat back is instantly noticeable. As is its enamel-like finish, which in a sense further contributes to the overwhelming cheap plastic feel (as well as showing up fingerprints with remarkable ease - the Ice White model can't come soon enough).Give it five minutes, though, and the most wonderful transformation occurs. Because far from feeling too light, too flat, too thin, Slim & Lite suddenly becomes the PSP you've always wanted.Well, within reason, obviously - there's still no second analogue nub, for a start. The point is, almost immediately the old model feels absurdly heavy and cumbersome, while its successor emerges as fresh and decidedly modern. The difference on paper (and even visually) may seem insignificant, but in the hand the contrast is striking.In play, the improvements continue. The lower profiled face buttons are noticeable, though not as much as the alterations to the D-pad, which now boasts less travel and resistance, making it a considerably more comfortable proposition during prolonged play. The differentiation with regards to the analogue nub, meanwhile, is less pronounced but again the level of resistance appears to have been reduced, resulting in a perceived increase in smoothness and accuracy - although we'll reserve final judgement on this particular aspect until we've tried out a wider range of titles.One area more directly assessed concerns the other changes to the design. So, for instance, the UMD tray is now a far simpler affair, opening manually (rather than spring-assisted, as previously) but considerably wider, too. The first time it's used it will feel a little odd, mainly because the UMD now sits loose against the tray until it is closed, but you soon appreciate the relatively more immediate, less fiddly nature of the new approach.Similarly, the repositioned WLAN switch now feels more at home along the top edge of the unit, while the speakers appear to deliver better stereo imaging in their revised location.Which leaves us with one obvious area of interest: the effect of the UMD cache on loading times. We'll be honest in revealing that we've had little opportunity to try out more than a couple of games, but we did notice a two-second reduction in the return to menu screen after finishing a Sega Rally race. Okay, it's a bit of a blink-and-you'll-miss-it improvement but it could be related to the game.
5 Amazing portable with an amazing game...inVINCEable | 18/07/2008 | See all inVINCEable's reviews (16)...What more could you ask for?The PSP is very pleasant on the eye and its sexier than the black and white options.It is an amazing piece of kit and the fact that you can play ps1 games that are in your ps3 is wicked!This was an impulse buy for me - just thought I'd treat myself and I'm so glad I did, love both game and console.The graphics are completely out of this world for a portable console - shocked everyone in my family with the details in Crisis Core.I've seen people eye'ing up the PSP on the train to work and i'm pretty sure they are jealous of its silvery prowess!If you've been looking for an excuse to buy a PSP this has to be it - especially if you're an FF fan.Very happy customer!!!
4 So You Want A PSPMandanarchi | 26/06/2008 | See all Mandanarchi's reviews (6)I'm a huge FF fan, and when I saw Crisis Core on the TV, I wanted it. Until I found it was only on PSP, and I didn't have a PSP. A couple days later I saw this and was instantly craving it.I ordered it and it arrived the next day...Though the picture doesn't show properly, it is a metallic silver, with a FF Logo on the back left, and Cloud and Zack on the back right. The analog button sticks out that little bit so is much easier to handle than the original PSP. (I played a friend's before I got this)The game, although it isn't the special edition version, is still the game! A fantastic game with incredible graphics, well known characters (although the fact that Aeris is now spelt Aerith ticks me off slightly), and reveals the hidden depths of the past (If you've played FF7 on PS1 before anyway). But even if you haven't played the original, it's a good place to start, and very addictive!If you like RPGs, purchase this and lets get addicted!

An Iraqi city resists violence
A referendum on the status of ethnically diverse and oil-rich Kirkuk will test its peaceful resolve.
When a truck bomb blew off the front of the Quoria district police station here and killed seven people in January, fear raced through this ethnically and religiously mixed northern city that it, too, would face the sectarian strife tearing apart Baghdad.
But on a recent afternoon, Police Chief Abdullah Taja Salahudin showed US soldiers the progress in rebuilding the station, presenting it as a sign of Kirkuk's determination to reestablish peace.
"Kirkuk is in better condition than most cities in Iraq, and that is because for so long we have all these religions and populations in this one place," he says. "People have known for a long time how to live together, and now they refuse to give in to any trouble."
It's this resistance to provocation that has kept Kirkuk from descending into the kind of vengeful violence that has flared elsewhere, Kirkuki and US military officials say.
A Muslim Turkoman, Chief Taja has demonstrated this resolve while promoting the security of this city of Kurds, Turkomans, Chaldean and Assyrian Christians, and Sunni and Shiite Arabs. Aside from that January truck bomb, he has survived four improvised explosive device (IED) attacks. And in June 2006, a car bomb destroyed his house.
As encouraging as that determination has been, all agree that Kirkuk remains one of the biggest tests of Iraq's future. A major hurdle will be the resolution on its status – either as an Iraqi province linked with Baghdad or joined to the adjacent autonomous Kurdish Regional Government.
Iraq's Constitution calls for this issue to be resolved by a referendum among Kirkuk's population by the end of 2007. Most observers agree that sticking to the constitutional calendar is problematic at least – a census is supposed to be taken first and boundaries redrawn – and disastrous at worst. A referendum, which the Kurds would expect to win, could open the door to deeper strife and even the breakup of Iraq.
Underlying all this is Kirkuk's vast oil wealth and the struggle for its control. Who controls the oil, people here say, will determine who controls Kirkuk.

ROM: stock 4.2.1, freshly installed from Google provided image
I swiped my device a few weeks back, after a bad experiment. Reflashed the Google image and all was swell. Until a few days back, my phones radio seems to crash at arbitrary moments, yet very often.
Symptoms: good reception, able to use internet over EDGE/3G and all of a sudden no coverage whatsoever. Nothing then works: tried going into airplane mode and back, tried resetting the radio in the telephone info menu (*#*#4636#*#*), the only solution is to reboot the phone. Then we're back to square one: everything works for a short while (minutes at best) then zilch again. Very frustrating!
The funny thing is, the telephone info menu still gives me info about signal strength. Also, IMEI number is no problem, I still have one (seeing this seems to be a common issue).
I'm completely lost here. Why would my phone, all of a sudden, be doing this? Anyone? :-\ Is there a logfile somewhere I could look at (rooted phone), possibly telling me what's crashing exactly?
UPDATE: well, I thought swapping sims with a colleague would be a good idea to troubleshoot further (and make sure it wasn't a faulty sim card), but to my horror I now get no service whatsoever, even after a reboot! The phone doesn't even ask for a sim code... Yikes? Hardware failure or still possibly software? Would a factory reset do anything?
UPDATE2: Factory reset didn't help, at all. Same issue, no connection whatsoever.
UPDATE3: What the ****ing ****. I reflashed the stock Google image (again) and at first it seemed much worse: I no longer had a IMEI (*#06#). Hit the Google and saw nothing more than "ahh, sucks, send it for repair!". So I was preparing to do so, took out the battery to write down the serial, popped it back in, rebooted and... all is well now. IMEI is back and it seems to have and keep its connection now?! I don't have a single clue on as what and/or how though, but it sure as hell is no hardware issue. Google, get that **** together, this was your flagship phone! :\
UPDATE4: Spoke too soon. Scratch the previous update, I just lost all radio again. Back to square one!

nope, thats the point, its not his style.. hes just following the heard.. he admitted it himself ... think its time i joined the revolution, blend in like the rest of the clones, just a number, just another person wearing the same old shit, cant think for themselves, cant bear to walk alone, need the comfort of being part of a culture, a trend, the in crowd.. well i got something for him... get ure own fucking style you melon, dont be controlled, dont follow the sheep, dont just be one in a million of ppl wearing something to fit in ... remember, a clothes shop can stock all sizes but none of them have to fit ... think about that for a second ..
yh thats right...
wear this ..
you wont get many other 21 year old's donning it .. yh ppl will laugh.. but whos the fool.. the people with no fucking brain, no charisma, dont even have a clue who they are because all security is searched for externally.. your set to fail if you only seek comfort from ure surroundings, real is on the other side of ones eye.. not what you look at , but within ureself.. become a hippy, wear ure own shit. stand up for being a human .. not just a human being a brain dead nothinghead ..
oh and by the way, i wear snap-backs .. thats what all my mates wear so when we go out its cool, we look cool and similar and cool btw
fuck that if you want to be yourself then go out fucking bollock naked. Other than that we are all fucking wearing clothes and we all have to look acceptable. its funny to me!! moaning about following the herd because of what clothes you wear is simple, try thinking differently - coz so far all this thread proves is that you all think the same but you dress up to make yourself look different?? what the fuck is that
not even a thing tho
Only top boys wear nu era caps dont let any of these bully victims tell you otherwise
Im buying a new one this week carnt wait no snap back doe fitted like an OG
Last edited by Dagz; 05-04-2012 at 21:15.
wear an Obey snapback like all the cool kids.
its 2 sides of the coin my point is why the fuck call somebody "a faggot who cant think for themselves" (generalised opinion of this thread) judging by what they wear?? they might have bad clothes but what kind of hideous thought is that running around your head?? im not all into trying to make a statement by what i am wearing (or what i am not wearing...)
its ridiculously judgmental and shallow just to have that train of thought, and thats in your head not on your fucking jumper. id rather have my head screwed on straight and look like everyone else, than look like somebody different who has their head up their own arse about clothing.
ps thats not just a response to you i dont think you mean what u were saying but in general im having a random rambling on the subject
EDIT: sorry 4 taking life seriously for a minute there not sure what got into me !!!

not even a thing tho
wear a cap if the sun is getting in your eyes.
other alternatives include sunglasses and staying inside.
sure is fashion police in here.
not even a thing tho
lol i wear a barbour and cp company baseball cap
these new era caps are shite
you cant spell Leeds without LSD and two E's
Whoever appeals to the law against his fellow man is either a fool or a coward. Whoever cannot take care of himself without that law is both
My advice is buy what the fuck you want and wear it how the fuck you want. Haters gonna hate.
Dont listen to these miserable cunts. If you want to wear one, do it.
What kind of advice are you after, its my area of expertise.
It's a cap man, not some mad investment haha, just go buy one.
Snapbacks generally have smaller peaks btw, the fitted nu era peaks are pretty overly massive, I guess they get more sun in America.

Conserative Action Alert

Real Title: Maryland County Passes 'Second Amendment Preservation Resolution'
On the evening of May 22, 2013, the Board of Commissioners of Carroll County presented, debated and adopted a resolution known as the "Second Amendment Preservation Resolution". This resolution, among other things, declared Carroll County as a "Second Amendment Sanctuary County".
County officials, including the Board of County Commissioners, the States Attorney and the Sheriff deemed this action necessary in light of the recent enactment by the Maryland General Assembly of "pretended legislation" known as the Maryland Firearms Safety Act of 2013.
..... And the Resolution further declares that the unconstitutional provisions of the act will not be enforced in Carroll County.
My Comments: Having lived a long time out in southern PA, Western VA and the panhandle of MD, I would have thought that Garrett, Allegney and Washington Counties would have passed such a resolution way in advance of Caroll County. Those are the true rural mountain counties of MD. I think what you are seeing is a 'backlash' to the hughe and under-reported crime rates that come out of Baltimore City, overflowing into Caroll County on the south eastern side.
For Context of the above; Maryland's new gun control laws: http://americancityandcounty.com/new...oughest-nation

The Great RaceI crack my knuckles and touch the ground, stretching my calves the way Olympic runners do before a race. The gravel spikes at my palms; my muscles burn from the stretching. Jogging in place, I breathe in short bursts that form into clouds in the chilly air.Max paces back and forth next to me, holding a clipboard and waving his pen like a conductor. My body is so full of electricity from the anticipation that I want to slap him as hard as I can just for the sake of letting go of the tension. Instead, I crack my knuckles again, making Max cringe in a satisfying way.Shaking it off, Max checks his watch before pushing his glasses to the top of his head. "Four minutes," he says, reading off the clipboard. "The race starts at the fifth period bell. That way, you won't meet any teachers in the hallways who are running late, but there might be some girls still rushing to class after lunch." He looks up, scrunching his eyebrows together. "Although I really
Nourishment"So your dad isn't really your dad?""I have no evidence either way. Therefore, it is unwise to make a conclusion." I frown at the tip of my pencil. "How do you spell your name?""X-U-A-N." He glances at my paper. "Are you… making a list?""I don't know why you make it sound so insensible, but yes." I write Xuan next to a bullet point and make another point.Do I have another point? I hadn't even finished my toffee before the man who is not my father approached me.Well, that means the toffee is still in my lunchbox, and I can have two toffees for lunch tomorrow. I write that down."…Can I ask why you're making a list?" He hesitates before everything he says. Will Xuan ever speak to me in a normal tone of voice? Not that I am a good judge of what is and is not normal.I bite my lip. I want to avoid the question, but that isn't rational because th
Character - Fortune AdjusterCome in, boy, come in. No, I will call you boy. The carnival manager is Boy to me too, do not think yourself so high and mighty. Come in, you want your fortune told by the old circus hag, yes? Come in, sit here, let me peer at you in the shade. You want your future told? A simple task, for I have already seen it in my inner eye. But more than simply tell, I will change. In truth I am not a teller of fortunes, but an adjuster.The youth of today, worried about the future, ha! The future happens over and over, will happen just as it has happened. All I need are your anchors, the things deciding your future. For example, that pretty little thing you left outside, she is no anchor. She will change you, yes, she will eat up your pocketbook! I saw her, I saw her jewelry and fake breasts. No, look at me, not at her. You did not bring her into the tent, you do not see her as part of your future, yes? She is a fun little fling, am I right? Oh, you think it shameful for me to speak of such thing
Infini-Fridge 9000Barry loved his Infinity Fridge. Or at least, until he got married, anyway.At first, it was amazing. As a freshly-recruited maintenance engineer on the Luxury Star Cruiser The Astronut, Barry had found his new home and workplace full wonders. He walked through rooms so tall he couldn't see the sky; he swept up litter from artificial beaches which captured more beauty than the real thing; he watched the stars pass by like rain from the sweeping observation deck.And, of course, he had his Infinity Fridge.An Infini-Fridge 9000 was standard-issue hardware for a Luxury class cruiser, but Barry had never seen anything like it. In the slums of his native Bomalomalom, pretty much everything was finite (except perhaps for misery). Water was rationed. Food was served via nutritional pills only. Even electricity was limited to ten tera-watt-hours per day. That was barely enough to run a sens-o-vision sim and have enough left over to purify your evening drink.So to step into a room with a frid

PilgrimI'd been alone in the wastes for near ten days when they found me. The building I'd holed-up in might have been a bank, might have been a church; I wasn't going to call it. But its walls were stone-built, and most of them were still standing.Meals of tinned mystery-meat, and only-slightly irradiated water had kept me alive as I picked through the detritus. I found little more than empty, rusted tins, and kid's toys that had survived the fallout. That is, until I turned up the device; some relic that still had power. It came alive in my hands, splashing blue light across pitted grey stone and orange rust.Of course, I was far from the only one interested in that trinket. My first warning was the quake; stones shifted beneath my feet and rusting I-beams groaned overhead. Still, that was more warning than most got, and I wasn't about to waste it. I grabbed my pack and ran.I burst out of the shaking building, arriving at a cratered street. I didn't stop; the quake was hot on my heels. An
Jukebox Cafe A string of bells jingled obnoxiously against glass as Hugh entered the Jukebox Café. The first thing he noticed was the pepless fan rotating just enough to move hot air and the smell of grease from one side of the restaurant to the other. No one came for the food, or at least that's what he assumed upon sight of the sticky red tablecloths and French fries that speckled the checkered floor. That and the fact that he was the only soul in sight. He walked up to the bar and squinted at a sign asking customers to "Please seat yourself or ring for service." What kind of café required its customers to ring a bell for service? Not sure if there was an employee in the place, he rang it despite the sheen applied by dirty hands, and the shrill sound barely cut through an old tune produced by the jukebox in the corner. A
Here Is No WhyThe bus was late. In the four switches Ben had made so far, he had come to accept lateness as an unavoidable part of this mode of travel. The first three times, he had been irritated. Now, at a little after eleven at night, he really didn't care. If the bus was at least running, he would be happy. Working air conditioning was a bonus. Timeliness was asking too much. He wished he could call Mae again, even though he had just talked to her half an hour ago. It had been a little over two weeks since he had seen his fiancée, and hearing her voice helped ease his frustration. But it was late, and she had gone to bed. She would still answer, he knew, and talk as long as he needed, but he didn't want to keep her up. Instead, Ben just sat at the little station, staring almost listlessly into his paper coffee cup. He let his mind wander. Of all places, it went to the station's seating arrangements. The orange plastic chair wasn't particularly comfortable, but

PASSIONI wouldn't have it any other way.<
Moving On"No." It was all I could say, taking in the carnage of what had just last night been my pristine kitchen. I wanted to collapse onto a chair, but they – and our spacious table – were covered in miscellany. Cleaning supplies, random knick-knacks from the living room, a thermometer, a scale. It was all there, strewn about.My legs were shaking, and I fought the urge to cry. So messy. So dirty. No, no, no. I collapsed onto the shoe bench in between the Franco Sarto and the Gucci. I don't know where Giesswein had gone. I wished I could blame it on burglars, but no."She's doing it again!" I called, and my husband came running into the kitchen. We watched his mother rearrange my cabinets, turning tea-cup handles to the left instead of the right. My hands twitched."Ma, stop it!" he said, exasperation coloring his voice. "Put these things back, they were fine where they were!""No," she said, her voice heavily-accented. "I will take
IndependenceOnce the wind caught on the seaAnd its dress snagged upon the crestsLike a girl who couldn't help fallingFor a boy with too many cracksThen the wind tumbled between the wavesCrashing with the water when it couldn't find the sky.I always wanted to live in the sky,Wrap clouds around me--dip myself into the sea--And wander into roaring wavesOf emptiness; Rush as the sun crestsRush like wind and water into the cracksOf myself, so that maybe I'll stop fallingFor people who can't keep themselves from fallingDown, and who won't quit looking at the skySo they can avoid all the cracksIn the sidewalk as they weave through a people-sea.Well, I'm not used to riding the crestsOf others' success; I'll make my own waves.So though my hair falls down in amber wavesI fear the strands will keep on fallingAnd my white-wash hands in lunar crestsWon't show you a spacious skyUnless you want to seeThrough star-spangled cracks.Eyes and eggshells shattered, tiny cracksAnd the tears stre
Her CatalystAs she walks through the maelstrom, the words trace upon the tips of her fingers and press into the stone. Every brick, every crack in the concrete, every crossed and angular stroke in reds and blacks and oranges. The drips of the gasoline pool around the base of her boots, slosh as she steps over the burst pipes and the rubble. So much rubble. So little outcry. The silence of the city grates on her eardrums and the mantras she'd been forced to memorize. The Seers demanded they observe thirteen years of recitation before they attempt to weave their first World together.But who other than the Seers can claim the incantations that knot the skeins they twist and pull on like reins hold fast? When have any of the Sisters recorded the visions they traced upon space-time and recited them, left them open for critique and discussion and debate?They haven't.Which is why she walks through the chalky soot of the smashed city around her. This all
Journeyed Too Far WestJanuary 24th, 1872Arrived in Rose Dust today. Got a good overlook from the stagecoach as it crested a hill. Little more than a collection of shabby buildings all jumbled together in the bottom of horseshoe-shaped gulley. Timber frames of future dwellings out on the fringes, plenty of carpenters at work. Only places of merit seem to be the assay office and the town hall, maybe the local saloon. Not sure why Rose Dust has the name it does, but clearly a fresh boomtown; even the railroad hasn't come out this far.Met with Mayor Chandler, took me to Hoc's saloon for drinks and to discuss my settling into town. Said his wife didn't tolerate the thought of him drinking in his office. Friendly, just like in the letters. Offered to put me up in the hotel for the night while he finishes getting my place secured. Never met a man so outright welcoming in my life. Odd that he greets me so warmly; they must really need an undertaker.January 27th, 1872Been a few days now, and am

Literal Futurist FeministEvery so often, humans make an innovation which changes their world forever. Fire, steel and computers are obvious examples of technological innovations. Equally important to technology are ideas which innovate people socially. Galileo's idea that the earth revolved around the sun or the American Founding Fathers' ideas about how government should be run are among numerous other examples. These ideas, often controversial and even revolutionary for their time, tended to require groups of people or movements to keep such ideas from being destroyed before they could be shared. The feminist movement has been both praised and scorned for their efforts to preserve and share numerous ideas to varying degrees. In particular, in her "Feminist Manifesto," Mina Loy helped to share the idea that gender roles were highly constrictive on both sexes with a rather remarkable insight for how things ultimately turned out.According to Loy, traditional gender roles are no longer valid in modern society.
Godsfall Chapter 1: Call to the Gods.The priests had said prayer would save his mother, so Osar prayed for a year and a day. Dawn til dusk, beseeching shadow and sunlight. Oft late past the darkening hour he'd bowed his head and grovelled, bargained, begged. He had devoted himself to Dionas the Golden God. But Dionas hadn't heard the prayers, or worse, refused to answer them. Even the gods couldn't cure cancer.Osar wrenched another weed from the overturned earth.And for all of his devotion what did he have to show for it? A grave dug by his own hands and a dead woman to fill it. The Golden God might have been the city's patron and its father, but Osar didn't want to trade his mother for a surrogate deity.Osar gained his feet, brushing dirt from his vestments. His knees were muddied and earth was jammed between his toes thanks to the open-end sandals. His hands, soft and delicate from months of prayer, were bloodied and engrained with dirt from tending to the grave.A voice from behind Osar
