A scummy little city built around nuclear submarines and viagra. Populated by hard hitt'n thugs with a thin layer of rich ass bitches along the coast line, g-town is a cultural clash between the thugs life and the beach boys. Parents in g-town take pride in the Fitch Falconswhere as the minors of g-town boast about the ability to pick up the dirtiest nigga shwag and the highest grade coccaine within one mile of eachother.
g-town is a small town in southeastern ct, home to the groton submarine base, electric boat, and pfizer.

The 8th Fleet is having a 1/96 scale fun run this December 10th at Santee Lakes here in San Diego!
This is with a twist; it will be a meeting of the incomplete fleet!
That is right; bring your unfinished model running or not!
It should be a good time, we will exchange ideas, learn fleet maneuvering, and just generally have fun with our 1/96 scale ships and subs!
Finished models are welcome too!

The Kobolds that served Lodar in the mini comic slave city.
They are so cool & vintage & I would like more monsters.
Giant Rock Golems.
Carnivorous plant
Masks of power demons would be just as awesome too.
That Gorgon Giant woman from the Brazilian comics that had her own thread for a while, in DCUC Giganta size. My female warrior figures can use a intimidating adversary.
The Kobolds that served Lodar in the mini comic slave city.
They are so cool & vintage & I would like more monsters.
Giant Rock Golems.
Carnivorous plant
Masks of power demons would be just as awesome too.
Skeleton-Warriors, Ra-Jar, Spinwit, Rock Golem, Evil Seed, Lord Masque, Prahvus, General Tartaran, Hawke, Slob-Boar, King Agho, Hunga the Harpy, Sh'gora, Masks of Power Demons, Nocturna, Lizzor, Horde Wraiths, Sagitar, Crimson Fury, Lodar, Vizar, Angast, Negator, Melaktha, ABC Giants, Stridor
I guess for the most part the figures I want that I highly doubt will get made are things like Battleground Roboto, Battleground Faker, NA She-Ra. The rest, if they've had a figure or some kind of media depiction before, all have a shot at getting made.
Inspector Darkney, Grr, Melaktha, Clobber, Cat form Catra, Uncle Montork, Old man Marzo, Odiphus, Ceritus, Masks of Power Demons, Mutant Troopers, Granita, Snake Goddess, Hssss' slave girl & Meteorbs.
These are the ones I don't think we'll ever see. Which will only make me that much more excited if they are released. Here's hoping we all get what we want...eventually.
The Space Mutants are missing something CRITAcal!
Chocolate and Vanilla swiiiirl. Swur-Urrl. -Crazy Eyes
200X Roboto. Realistically, not enough support for this one unfortunately...
Most Wanted MOTU Classics:
*MotU ~ Multi-Bot/Tung Lashor *PoP ~ Angella/Mermista *200X ~ Roboto/Calix *Filmation ~ Teela Na/Lord Masque
*Play-Sets ~ Snake Mountain/Fright Zone *Vehicles ~ Roton/Land Shark *Beasts ~ Night Stalker/Stridor
Snoop I think his name was, the Trollan who worked with Whiplash for a while.
Teela and Green Goddess Re-issues. I read at some point that none of the reissues sold enough and that any more were unlikely. Would be nice to have another round of Teela and a re-do of the Goddess since she has known plastic issues.
Dragoon and Filmation Hordak (with proper Filmation head), with a transformation pack showing his various forms and Imp. Saying that, I still think the Hordak one is a possibility. I think Dragoon is not, though.
Thrashor would like a Thrashor figure.
The most radical zombie, in all Eternia!
YouTube: Mal TV - Metal, Toys, Video Games, & Beyond!
"Might not make the cut" figures I'll be disappointed in not getting would include....
-Jungle Attack He-Man; I freaking LOVE this variant
-Bride of Skeletor Teela; a great variant from a fantastic plot, which has already been alluded to in MOTUC canon
-Spirit; I'm honestly quite worried we'll never get Swifty's true form!
-Catra's panther-form; another important variation of a main character, she's at her most dangerous here!
-Stingrad; a kick-butt Andreenid warrior
-Melaktha; a recurring role, the Indy Jones of MOTU
-Tuvar and Baddrah; I REALLY want these two! I love origin figures. Speaking of...
-Odiphus; Stinkor's previous incarnation-crucial to his storyline. Pack him with Prahvus! (If they make Prahvus...)
-Karak Nul; who exactly was Scareglow before his death? I want to know, and to pit him against the likes of Vykron, Wun-Dar, or Vikor.
-Sharella; again, who was she before becoming Eternia's Goddess? Possibly an ally of He-Ro and King Grayskull?
-Snake Men Slave Girl; Jean and I have been clamoring for this one for years already.
-Trollans Uncle Montork, Yukkers, Dree Elle, and The Oracle; fairly easy to do, and I love Trollans.
-Drissi (and Caz); I'm sort of in love with Drissi (Don't tell my wifey.), and she has to have her kid brother, of course.
-Mara; Adam's "love interest" in NA, crucial to mixing it up between he and Teela before they finally live happily ever after (until their boy Dare gets into trouble...)
-Gladiator, Bandwidth, Beast Lord, and the other 30th Anniversary comic characters; I want to know more!
Not to sound like a creepy cheerleader for Uki, but it's nice to know there is at least one person on this forum who is extremely positive & friendly all the time. I don't think I could be that nice even if you paid me. If we ever give out awards for "forum member of the month", Uki gets my vote. -Mr. Shokoti
I am keeping my fingers crossed that Mattel will do the right thing to "maximize the SKUs" by adding General Sunder parts to the Horde Trooper pack. If not, I fear for him.
King Ahgo and General Tataran are two that I really hope make it in the line as we need some trolls and goblins up in here.
Support GENERAL SUNDER in MOTUC!
Bring on 2016: General Sunder, Evilseed (Filmation), Karg, General Tataran, King Miro, King Ahgo, Zilora, Melaktha, Hawke, Vultak, Ileena, Lizorr, Dylamug, Enchantress, Lord Masque, Colonel Blast, Kol-Darr, Snowflake, Uncle Montork, Dree-Elle and The Twiggets.
Fwoosh Facebook
The fire lord guy of the Filmation episode with the Horak...
Kor from the fire panther Filmation episode...
2.0 Roboto with corrected shoulders, both arms removable, 200x armor & head...
Cardback Faker
Grayskull sentry from the Golden Books
Dylamug, basically too dificult to sculpt and no share parts.
Catra cat form with proper articulation. Seems that Matty gave up with the beasts.
Starchild with proper articulation. There is no enough love for small human characters. Even Gwildor that is not human doesn't have a figure yet.
Boweena, tied to the fate of Starchild.
Mantisaur, a beast with no share parts.
Scrollos, from the UK comics
Skelcons, Skeletor's servants from the UK Ladybird books and, I am sure, an iconic element for many UK fans. Would love an army builder pack.
Battleground Sorceress, basically 200X Sorceress
Battleground King Hssss, 200X King Hssss
Plundor. He would actually be a very easy figure to produce, though. Literally just a new head.
Exactly what I thought...
I also hope they find a way to include small creatures/characters with other characters just like they included Zoar with the Sorceress or Cringer with Marlena.
For examples:
Filmation (blue) Hordak with Imp
Broom with Madame Razz
Kowl with Glimmer
Lookee with Angella
A twigget with a Great Rebellion member
A trollan with a Heroic warrior
20 Most needed characters before MOTUC ends...
Heroic: King Miro / Hawke / Dakon / Delora
Evil: Evilseed / Lodar
POP: King Micah / General Sunder/ Twiggets 3 pack
Horde: Vultak / Hunga / Prahvus
POG: Veena
SnakeMen: Sssqueeze
Rock People: Granita
NA: Darius / Sebrian / Crita
I admit it: I'd kind of dig on a Gwildor figure. I always liked the character. He has a fearless nobility to him.
I also want Karg, Saurod, and Skeletor the Golden God.
Here's an off-the-wall idea: we got Horde Prime, so let's see a physical embodiment for Light Hope!
Filmation Hordak is HIGH on my list!
The Gamemaster
The Tingler
The Twiggets
Filmation MOTU:
Great Unrest Marzo
Filmation POP:
Ariel (Castaspella's Apprentice)
NA Cartoon:
Toga Mara
Teh Scientists... Yes I want them now!
Bone Warrior
Illumina + Sleetah
Comic Book version of Sir-Loser-Lot
Lt. Spector 2.0 (Palace Guard Spector with TMS Cosmic Key and Unhelmeted Neitlich head)
DC Comics He-Man
Lt. Andra (Star Comics)
Pre-Op Cy-Chop
Last edited by DO4M; December 27, 2012 at 10:56am. Reason: Illumina and Sleetah
FINALLY!! GLIMMER IS IN MY SHELF!! Now I need a Crita!! Crita is to Mara what Evil Lyn is to Teela. If we ARE getting Mara, then we NEED Crita.
I really want Madame Razz and Broom and I think they are essential, but I also know it will be a 99% retool which would make her expensive. Would you be willing to pay extra to get her (like an oversized figure - Ram Man for example)? She could come with Broom and lots of accessories to make it worth it. Let's face it, she has alot of tricks up her sleaves like say... a cauldron, Dree-Elle, King Randor and Queen Marlena's varient heads which are aged and have gray hair, Spritina, Sprocket, Kowl, Imp, weapons... The heads would be a repaint and Orko just needs a new head and some paint to become Dree-Elle.
I want the Twiggets and Inspector Darkney so bad but I'm not holding my breath. At least the Twiggets are somewhat on the radar.
The two characters that I want to see more that anything are MOVIE VERSIONS OF HE-MAN AND SKELETOR!!! Anybody? Can I even hope for these?
Once FF He-Man & TC Skeletor come, I have no more need of any further variants of them.
But, I have one more want, neigh Must Have, once Dragstor comes and that is Filmation Hordak
But in the realm of I would love to haves....
The Great Black Wizard
Filmation Clawful
Negator (Filmation)
I would love to have a Solar Power Spector....
Recent.... Lizard Man
Wanted.... NA She-Ra, Jitsu....
Needed.... Dragstor
Oh man, did I forget to use these [sarcasm][/sarcasm] again? Sorry....
Check here for my My collection page, MOTU and more!

In my car, even at 100 kilometres per hour, I perceive that I'm travelling along quite quickly. In the nice saloon in our car pool, you can reach up to 160 kilometres per hour without it feeling that much faster. Of course, this is because you cannot perceive speed alone. You can notice accelerations, but when you are travelling at a constant speed, you can only tell how fast you are moving relative to other objects – or perhaps when the car begins to rattle. It is the same on the ISS. The speed of the Space Station is much greater – it needs to travel at 28,000 kilometres per hour so it doesn't 'fall down' read more
Does something seem different here? That is right! The DLR blogs site has a new look. We have just redesigned the DLR blogs site - and it was high time. The previous DLR blogs design was largely based on the old DLR Web portal, which was replaced with a new look back in 2011. read more
A colleague from Cologne sent me an email about this blog – I received it on my work mobile phone, although actually I was at Chiemsee, on holiday over Easter – modern technology made this possible. And it all seemed so entirely natural to me, although there's no Internet connection anywhere nearby, no computer with a mail program, and no cumbersome process of logging on to this or that terminal… read more
We have already spent one week 'on Mars' and yet it feels like we arrived yesterday. Our 'landing', during the night of Friday 28 March, was quite tumultuous, with an arrival at sunset in pouring rain, strong winds and a temperature of about 10 degrees Celsius… like an actual Martian sandstorm. We unloaded all our luggage and proceeded to the last interviews with journalists from the University of Hawaii – in the rain. "Good luck and see you in four months!" said Kim Binsted as she exited the habitat. And our mission had begun! read more
When we report from the Columbus Control Centre (Col-CC) on the latest developments on the International Space Station (ISS), we do so not only as one of the five main control centres for the ISS, but also as one of the many control centres for the European part of the work conducted on the Space Station. read more
Lucie Poulet said goodbye to the outside world for four months; the scientist from the German Aerospace Center (Deutsches Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt; DLR) is a crewmember in the Mars simulation run by the University of Hawaii at Manoa. Among other things, the 28-year-old scientist will use the second mission within the Hawaii Space Exploration Analogue and Simulation (HI-SEAS) programme to study the influence that light of different wavelengths has on plants. But she will also be the subject of intense observation – the University of Hawaii is using the habitat to examine how the six participants behave and work together during the months of isolation. In this blog she tells about her 'life on Mars'. read more
"I have something nice to post in our blog," said my colleague Cesare Capararo from the console. What he had to say made me put the certification plan I was working on down and walk over to the office of satellite experts Jaap Herrman, Michael Kirschner and Kay Müller – a very special rendezvous will occur in space on Friday 28 March 2014. read more
There was, once again, a nice change of pace this week, not on the console or in the office, but in our training room! One of my extra jobs – in fact it has actually become more of my focus – is training. In particular, training the new colleagues that will support us after their roughly nine-month 'apprenticeship' at the console. read more
[Translated from the German original on 19 March 2014]
Since 2007, a converted Boeing 747 SP has been flying to look into the depths of space through an on-board telescope. This airborne observatory is a joint venture between the US space agency NASA and the German Aerospace Center (Deutsches Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt; DLR). As part of the current budget statement for NASA, it was announced from Washington that it would not be possible to finance continued operations as of 2015. This would not only be a major blow for the scientists that have planned a great deal of interesting astronomical research for the coming years, but also for the relationship between NASA and DLR. read more
The Franco-German Ministerial Council met in Paris on 19 February 2014 to discuss a wide range of topics. Aviation, space, energy, transport and security were all mentioned in the joint declaration, once again demonstrating that DLR is working on areas of high political relevance. This is interesting and important, but in addition, concrete decisions with regard to research and development that will affect our work here at DLR were included in the joint declaration. read more
"Do not switch off your computer, an important update is being installed" – this message frequently drives me to distraction. My laptop has the annoying habit of beginning this kind of modification precisely when I need it to get hold of some information quickly just before rushing to my next appointment. What also bothers me is that I never really know what is going on inside the computer that supposedly belongs to me – so different to the periodic updates for Columbus on-board software. read more
Wow! Today, you could say some of us have spent six years of our lives 'in the spotlight' – because Columbus has now been in orbit for exactly six years! Not many of the original 'pioneers' remain – you can count them on the fingers of one hand. Those were some exciting days, back in February 2008. The 1E-mission – the first 'European' flight of the Space Shuttle that would take the Columbus laboratory to the International Space Station (ISS), had been repeatedly postponed for various reasons over the years; in particular, the Columbia tragedy in February 2003 pushed the ISS schedule back a long way. Finally, the launch of 'our spaceship' was set for 6 December 2007 – there were some tense minutes when, just a couple of hours before lift-off, the launch was cancelled for technical reasons. So near and yet so far from the start of the mission! In the days that followed, and after long discussions, the launch date was set for 7 February 2008. The team would be able to enjoy a quiet and relaxing Christmas holiday – the last one for some years to come… read more
Human spaceflight in itself is exciting – increasingly so for those of us in Europe and DLR in 2014, with the launch of two ESA astronauts, German Alexander Gerst and Italian Samantha Cristoforetti, to the International Space Station (ISS), where they will conduct research. read more

Message Deciphered: An Interview with MESSAGE TO VENUS' John Feliciano
by admin on Jul.02, 2011, under interviews, news
Is there life on other planets? With the introduction of the hard rockin' quartet MESSAGE TO VENUS we just may find out. Jandre Nadal, John Feliciano, Edgar Ramos, and JuanMa Font are just beginning to unleash their wrath unto the masses, with a style that's both melodic and metal, that will no doubt be played loud enough to invoke a visit from the planet next door. So fasten your seatbelts, stow all carry-on items in the overhead compartment (don't worry no unecessary pat-downs here), and join me as I get the chance to catch up with John Feliciano, M2V's aspirational axe-man, to get the story behind rock's next great tympanic treasure.
AWAY-TEAM: I'd first like to congratulate you on the release of your killer E.P. The Envelope, and perhaps even more importantly on the upcoming release of your first full length album Victims and Villains.
JOHN FELICIANO: Thank you so much man!
AWAY-TEAM: I'm excited to hear the whole album. I know there's not a set release date yet for Victims and Villains, but can you give us an idea as to when we might see it?
JOHN FELICIANO: Well right now, today, the singer is actually in the studio working on another song. We have four songs left to record, and the album is done. Then it will go, of course, to mixing stages and mastering. We're hoping that the album will be finished by around October of this year. In terms of when it will be released, we are working with management to see what route we will be taking, because we have the option of releasing it independently like we did with The Envelope, but we are also open to the possibility of maybe having a record label involved. Ya know partnering up with them to release that album to maximize it's release. So we have our options open, but in terms of a release date, we would love to see it released early next year, but there's no set release date, as of yet.
AWAY-TEAM: Now, how did the band all meet and get started?
JOHN FELICIANO: Well, JuanMa and Edgar, they are the drummer and bassist, they've been friends for many, many years. I went to the same University that JuanMa went to; I've been involved with bands for about 14 years now, and in the local scene we knew each other. JuanMa and Edgar played in a band together, I played in another band, and Jandre, who is from the west side of Puerto Rico, had a pretty good local following. So we knew each other from the music scene. But basically, in 2003 I started a band with a couple of friends and we needed a bassist, so I called Edgar. Fast forward to 2006, bands change and go through different stages, the drummer that we had at that time quit. So we called JuanMa who I've always wanted to play with because he's a very technical drummer, and he has pretty good chops, and I always wanted to have a project with him. Edgar, being a good friend of JuanMa as well, it made complete sense. So JuanMa joined the project, which wasn't this band, but we all decided that we wanted to move to the United States in the future, because if we really wanted to pursue this we had to make that jump. Maybe not now, but that would be the ultimate goal. So we decided to go into the studio and record a three song demo with the band. The producer Leo Alvarez tells us, "You know guys, you should really start recording a full length, before you do anything. Because right now you have the means, and that would be really good to have up your sleeve" So we start recording this full length album, but then in the process of recording it the singer that we had at the time; for personal reasons, he's a really good friend, he decided to leave. So that's when we got the opportunity to call Jandre to join the project, and work with him in the studio with Leo Alvarez, the producer, to make this record that will be Victims and Villains. So it's basically an evolution of bands, ya know, and a process of natural selection that we got together. Because in this business, there's some people that are really good musicians, but they get married, they have kids, and they decide to take another route with their lives. But the four of us, we've been very focused and this is what we wanna do. The music was already recorded when Jandre joined the project, and it has been a challenge for him, but so far it's been great. And being that we already knew each other for at least 5-6 years it's even better, because you already know the person on a personal level and then to be able to create music with them, it's good. There's no surprises in terms of friendship, ya know. We're friends first, and bandmates second.
AWAY-TEAM: The name of the band is quite interesting, what's the significance behind the name MESSAGE TO VENUS?
JOHN FELICIANO: The name of the band comes from a song that Jandre was writing, lyrics that he was writing, in that song he was talking about life on another planet. Possibility of life, and we are not alone or whatever, in a part of the song he mentioned "Message to Venus". The song never worked, as a song, but he always found that phrase very interesting, because it's kind of open to interpretation. People might say "Message to Venus" is a message to the women, or it's a message to another world, or it's something out of this world. So we incorporated it as the band name because we felt that it's a name that allows us to explore, in the musical aspect. We can be heavy, we can be subtle, and the lyrics of the songs are like short stories. We have a beginning, an end, a climax and you can hear that in the songs. If you really listen to the songs, they have characters. Like for example, in "Cold and Grey" you have this person that basically is a psychopath, and is obsessed with this woman, and he's basically telling her "If I don't have you, no one will." That's why it's called "Cold and Grey", if someone else is gonna have you, he's gonna have you "Cold and Grey", ya know. It's kinda harsh, but it is what it is. So you have characters, you have the psychopath, and in a part of the song you have this girl screaming "Let me go"; and in the songs, that's how Jandre, and Edgar go about creating lyrics, they're basically short films. So that's the story behind the name, we're comfortable with it because it allows us to explore with our music, and gives us the flexibility.
AWAY-TEAM: Now, Puerto Rico is not typically a place that you associate with Hard Rock music. Usually when you think Puerto Rico, you think Salsa, or Merengue, or Reggaeton, anything but Rock music…
JOHN FELICIANO: Ricky Martin! (laughs)
AWAY-TEAM: Yeah. (laughs) …is that just a misconception? Or are we missing out on alot of great bands? What's the Rock scene like in Puerto Rico?
JOHN FELICIANO: In terms of an industry, and let's talk about the local scene first. You have the full spectrum of rock, over in Puerto Rico, you have from the very light alternative, pop band, to the very heavy death metal. But in terms of a local scene, and a business, the island doesn't support it. I think it's a mixture of cultural, and size. If you play in San Juan, how many times are you gonna play in San Juan? You know what I mean? So it's really not the ideal environment, for a local scene to develop, and bands to be able to be successful. Because you can measure success in many ways, but for this example let's measure success by a band that is able to meet their means by playing music. Unfortunately, at least that's my personal opinion, the conditions are not there in terms of the business aspect. But of course, you have many, many talented bands in Puerto Rico that… ya know, we have really good friends in all the genres. You asked if we're missing out, and I think the world is missing out on the talent that is there. There's some really, really good bands from the island.
AWAY-TEAM: Well maybe you'll help shine a light on that!
JOHN FELICIANO: Hopefully! We really hope to make it! We're doing the part that is our responsibility, that is we're working hard, and it makes us feel proud because we're working hard for what we really love. Another thing I was gonna tell you, in Puerto Rico there's many rockers. Iron Maiden was there a couple of months ago, 30 Seconds to Mars was there like a month ago, and Van Halen sold out show, Paul McCartney sold out show. Ya know, there's many people that like rock music, but those bands are already established, they have already gone mainstream. They have been fortunate enough to have the means of letting themselves be known, but for a band that is starting, and starting in Puerto Rico the conditions are not there, for the reasons that I already explained to you, to be successful, measuring success as financial success.
AWAY-TEAM: So how did you first get started plating guitar? And what was the first song you ever learned to play?
JOHN FELICIANO: Wow… I got an interest in music when I was around 15, I had a friend that had a guitar, you know I think it's always like that, that's the cliche! I had a friend that had a guitar and he knew how to play a couple of things, and I was like "Wow, I really would like to play guitar!" So then for Christams, I asked for, and received a guitar. I didn't have the slightest idea of how to tune the guitar, what to do with it, but I played with it. Even though I was doing nothing that made sense, but I played with it for hours. Then I moved schools, and I made friends with a guy that knew how to play guitar. He taught me a couple of chords, what to do with the guitar, how to tune it. And that's how I started playing something that actually made sense. I don't remember exactly the first song, but I think it was "About A Girl" by Nirvana. That was the first song that I could play, put two chords together, E-minor with G-major. I never took classes, never. I would just spend hours, and hours, and hours playing. And at that time, we're talking about maybe 1995, the internet was really a blessing, because you were able to download these tablatures, and everything. So you could basically go home for hours, and learn a song by reading tablature. Really early on, like maybe a year into playing guitar, I knew I wanted to make my own stuff. I just felt it pretty quickly, I put learning to play other people's songs to the side and starting writing my own things. Of course this was a long time ago, it's not really what we write today, but I had that urge really early on.
AWAY-TEAM: So what was your parent's reaction when you told them you were moving to Miami to become a rock star?
JOHN FELICIANO: (laughs) Well, in Puerto Rico I think we tend to be a little bit more conservative about those things. But, I really have their support, my dad and my mom support us all the way. And we are fortunate that the rest of the band has parents that are the same way. Their really supportive, and they really believe that you have to make life what you want it to be. One of the worst things that I think can happen to a human being is getting to the last phases of their life and looking back and saying "Gee, I never tried it. Maybe I had a shot!" I prefer to fail, but at least I tried. Because if I don't know, I think I would go crazy, I would go completely nuts! Wondering what could've been, what if… that would drive me crazy!
AWAY-TEAM: So why Miami? What made you choose Miami over an L.A. or a New York?
JOHN FELICIANO: You know I had a… you know like any person, we have to work, and it basically fell in my lap. I had the opportunity to relocate, and I didn't even think about it. I had my girlfriend back in Puerto Rico, who is now my wife, and I thought "This is the chance, this is it! I'm moving, I'm taking this step." I was given the opportunity on Friday, and by Sunday I was already in Miami. It was super fast. I said "This is what I have to do." I told my girlfriend, not to worry, we're gonna make it, I'll find a way; and now look, a couple of years later we're here and settled, we got married. I think if there's a will there's a way, ya know what I mean? We hadn't even finished tracking the album yet when I moved, so I flew back to Puerto Rico and finished my part of the album in one weekend, three days of like 16 hours apiece. Basically, the opportunity came in Miami, and it's pretty strategic in terms of it being on the east coast, and you can get to Puerto Rico pretty easily, and to other parts of the nation.
AWAY-TEAM: You mentioned that you relocated for your job. I understand that you have a pretty good day job, in fact it just recently landed you on CNN. Tell me about that.
JOHN FELICIANO: (laughs) Ha! Oh my God… Yeah, you know, the company is a human resource recruiting firm, and they were doing a story on illegal immigration, and illegal immigrants working in the United States. It was a hot topic. You know there's a lot of federal agencies that go into Puerto Rico to find talent, especially bilingual talent, because Puerto Rico mainly speaks Spanish, but educated people are bilingual. They wanted to do a story on companies going to Puerto Rico, and why it would be good for a company to look at Puerto Rico as a good source of talent, etc. etc. And since I'm in that business, I don't know why someone referred me because I'm Puerto Rican, and they were talking about Puerto Ricans, but… I live in Miami, and CNN in Miami called me to do an interview with CNN en Espanol. So I went there and did that. It's crazy because you see the studios and you think that they're very big, it's not. It's like a closet. You're in a closet with a camera there, and no one else with you. The reporter is in like Atlanta, and that's it. It's just you inside a closet with that camera. It's pretty funny.
AWAY-TEAM: The Envelope contains a really great cover of the Depeche Mode classic "Stripped". Who were some of your strongest influences growing up?
JOHN FELICIANO: I would have to say that one of my main influences is Tool. I love how they evolved, you listen to the first E.P. Opiate, and you listen to the last one 10,000 Days and it's great. It has technical, musical value, and it also is entertaining. I could hear a band that makes something difficult, but I don't like difficult music just for the sake of being difficult. I like technical music, that might be pretty challenging to play, but it has to be entertaining, it has to catch my attention and I have to be entertained. I have to feel that there's some sentiment being transmitted through that song, and I feel that with Tool. Of course, you can branch out to A Perfect Circle, in which you have a different set of musicians. You have a great drummer, great guitar player, bassist, and of course Maynard from Tool. Another band that I was really into, at the time, was Nirvana. That was like my favorite band, at that time, like in 1994-95. What I liked about Nirvana was their energy, you know the music was simple in terms of verse-chorus-verse-chorus-interlude-chorus, but it was powerful, entertaining, and straight to the point. I think my biggest influence has to be Tool, but if you want to include other bands I would say, from my early years I would say Nirvana, and right now I listen to alot of music. I like heavy stuff, I like 36 Crazyfists, I like Pierce the Veil, I like Nonpoint, Puya, Pantera, all of that.
AWAY-TEAM: It's funny, I knew you were gonna say Tool, because I hear quite a bit of Tool in "Change". The guitar work on that is very Tool.
JOHN FELICIANO: Yeah, it's got that oriental scale.
AWAY-TEAM: "Universal You" debuted on Music Choice yesterday, and "Cold and Grey" is being played on Sirius XM's Octane. I understand that Jose Mangin of Sirius XM said that you guys were the first band from Puerto Rico to be played on Octane…
JOHN FELICIANO: Yeah, I don't know if it was Jose Mangin, the DJ at that time, but the DJ that was on shift said that was the first band coming out of Puerto Rico to be played on Sirius XM Octane which was very flattering for us, ya know. We are very proud, but at the same time we feel very humbled, because it's a big weight to carry on your shoulders to be the first one.
AWAY-TEAM: Yeah, that kinda makes you guys like the godfather's of the Puerto Rican rock scene. (laughs)
JOHN FELICIANO: Yeah, at least in the Active Rock/ Hard Rock scene. Because you have Nonpoint which has it's roots or beginnings in Puerto Rico, and I'm not talking bad about them I love that band, that's one of my favorite bands, but they really were made here in South Florida. It started over there, but the people that were the original ones from Puerto Rico are no longer with the band. The original, original member is Robb Rivera the drummer. So I think that's what they were talking about, a band that was formed in Puerto Rico, and coming straight out of Puerto Rico. And we feel very proud about that.
AWAY-TEAM: You guys have played alongside many great bands, Anthrax, Puya, Ill Nino to name a few. What was the most memorable of those shows?
JOHN FELICIANO: Just to be clear, that was from our personal experiences in other bands. It wasn't with MESSAGE TO VENUS. For me the most memorable one, is when we played a show with three great bands in one night. It was Ill Nino, Ankla, and Nonpoint. That was the bill, and then us with the band that I had at that time. That was a great experience to play in front of many thousands of people, and people that don't know you that were like "Wow, you guys played great! I really loved your band." That was amazing.
AWAY-TEAM: I think I know the answer to this, but if you could make anyone live or dead a fifth member of the band, who would it be and why?
JOHN FELICIANO: Alive or dead… ya know, I would really love to have Tool's guitar player Adam Jones. (laughs)
AWAY-TEAM: That's where I thought you were going with it. (laughs)
JOHN FELICIANO: I would really love to be able to collaborate with that guy. He has a certain style of playing, which is kind of dark, but at the same time it doesn't go to that point of no return. It's still energetic, it's still listenable. It's not simple, in terms of being easy, but he makes music that's not complicated for the sense of being complicated. It flows, you know what I mean? The patterns might be odd, but it flows as a composition, as a whole, as a song, as a story. It would be amazing to be able to drink from that fountain of knowledge.
AWAY-TEAM: With Victims and Villains on the horizon, what new song do you most look forward to playing live?
JOHN FELICIANO: There's this song called "The Unknown", the reason I look forward to playing that song is, not only that I live the song, but in the middle of the song when it's in it's climax there is a chorus of people. We brought 20 of our closest friends into the studio to sing a part, they sing 'We are not alone.' So I really look forward to playing that song and getting that reaction from the crowd, having the crowd sing that part. You'll be able to hear that part on the album, but being able to hear the crowd sing that part back to you, that would be amazing.
AWAY-TEAM: So last, but not least… Captain Morgan or Bacardi?
JOHN FELICIANO: For me it's Bacardi. (laughs)
AWAY-TEAM: John, I wanna thank you for your time. Best of luck to you, I know you're probably not gonna need it, you guys are solid as they come. I know you're destined for great things. Hopefully next time we talk, we'll be talking major label release.
JOHN FELICIANO: Hopefully! Thank you so much.
AWAY-TEAM: Talk to you soon buddy.
JOHN FELICIANO: Definitely, we'll talk soon. Bye.
AWAY-TEAM: Bye.

Comments about Jardin Romanesque Trellis:
I bought this trellis for a climbing rose that had been left unsupported for years. It was not as hefty as I would have liked but it was fine once the rose was pruned and trained on the trellis. The height was great for the price and it fit perfect in the compact space that it had to go in.

Results 101 to 120 of 121
I think the whole notion of F2P needs to reworked. You can kill stuff fine with nothing in PS2, but to specialize to any extent you will probably want to spend cash. I am totally fine with this, but I understand if people are not, since it really does go against the game's marketing.
My only gripe is that everything is stupid expensive. For 10 euros in Tribes you could get a lot of stuff, here it gets you a weapon and a half..
The AA Turrets are actually pretty good, they just die way too quickly to ESF Rockets. A couple of manned AA turrets can easily scare off and often kill (Assuming the turret players know how to lead targets...) aircraft, but a single ESF can sneak up and blow up a turret in seconds with Rockets.
But agreed that some of the roles pretty much require SC unlocks. NC Anti-Infantry MAXes are one that I'd argue need SC unlocks since they start with a pseudo-shotgun, thus are useless outside of point-blank range, ESFs need the Rockets and the A2A Missiles, Lightnings are a lot better with a turret unlock or two, but infantry stuff is largely a wash. That's all a bit of a shame really, but SOE do need to make the moneys.
As a (mostly) infantry player, and pretty much exclusively Engineer currently, I don't feel like I'm missing out on 'power' having not spent a thing but I certainly notice how crapass my Lightning is without the HEAT turret or the Anti-Infantry turret, and I've yet to set foot into an ESF as I know how crap it'll be without the secondary weapons.
Yep. As someone who hasn't spent money on the game, I only use the ESF to get from A to B. It's not a viable combatant without missiles. It's the same with the Lightning and Liberator. Might as well not spawn those if you don't have the weapon unlock for it.
I get why SOE decided to do this, and I'm OK with it. For a one time purchase of $15 I can make all these problems go away and $15 is really cheap for a AAA title, especially an MMO.
The only thing I take issue with is that a default player has no viable AA. In general, some forms of AA could use a mild buff, so I propose this.
Buff the Skyguard, just a little. Then for the remaining vehicles, create a turret that basically mounts half a skyguard, so less than the power of 2 bursters. Put this in the 100 cert slot. This allows vehicles to mount credible AA screens if they choose to do so (and I expect a lot of Sunderers will roll with one of those vehicle bursters), but doesn't displace the roles of either the Skyguard or the double Burster MAX.
Or we could scrap that idea and just lower the magazine size on ESF rocketpods to 8 or 10. Because honestly, instantly dieing to something you can't counter is a bit shitty.
My thoughts exactly. A little bit of cash in Tribes gives you good value for money spent, in Planetside 2, hell no. Which is why I'll only buy StationCash when double or preferably triple sales are in effect. Sadly, if people are buying StationCash and using it actively in Planetside 2, SOE have no incentive to reduce Stationcash price on weapons and cosmetic stuff. All my StationCash came from Alpha Squad + buying 2000 Stationcash during Halloween which was triple amount, ie getting 6000 cash. Spent it on some weapons and way too much cosmetic stuff.

Sorry for my little rant yesterday. Was stressed, got sick. Became very grumpy that day
Well, you honestly had good reasons to. AA in this game could need a tune-up, although think SOE/Smedley wants air to be more dominant. And Boris brings up a good point I really didn't think about, that if you want to be viable in anti-air you have to save up certs or fork out stationcash, as you only start with a Burster cannon. I usually think of AA has ground-based, so not counting Scythe, as not everyone wants to or are good at using aircraft, so they are kind of screwed in that regard. Me personally can't use a Scythe at all, I'm not just good at it. (Would have used joystick, but Microsoft have dropped support of Precision 2 and Win7 does not recognize it and found no unofficial drivers.)

My main issue with AA is not that it's ineffective, or that there's an asymmetry between that one guy in the air who can take on air, infantry and vehicles equally and that one guy on the ground with only a lock on ground-to-air launcher.
It's that those who take flying really seriously in PS2. Those who spend most of their time flying and developing that skill set. They go TR.
The mosquito's dynamics seems to attract those who are gonna spend most of their time in the air. The reaver is just a bit sluggish, the Scyth is loads of fun and interesting to fly, but it is basically a hovvering UFO. The mossie is the one that's most manouverable and most acts like a plane.
There's a reason TR seem to have contsant air dominance, it's because the intent is to have air support to combat air superiority and TR has the most & best pilots.Originally Posted by CROCONOUGHTKEY
WRT Cooper's point about TR having the best air options: I think that would actually be really interesting if SOE had tried to really model three asymmetric sides. I mean, it might make sense for TR to have air superiority, as they're the fascist military dictatorship and all, if the other two sides had some competitive advantages in some other areas that they'd have to exploit well in order to overcome TR's air.
But generally speaking, PS2 doesn't do asymmetry as much as the sides are the same, but different. So the differences that do stand out are the more glaring for it.
Interesting post on Planetside 2 Facebook page. Notice most of the comments, including the one guy who says rocket podding is a talent and HAs can shoot down ESF with one missile.

It's a talent. Not a very hard one, but still you can get it horribly wrong.
And no. I don't know if he flies into mountains to get rid of the LOCK warning, but my ESF with no upgrades whatsoever can eat 2 missiles.
Last night I experienced the disparity between the faction starting weapons, was noone around on Miller where I play NC so went and made a TR character on a US East server and my god their starting rifles, especially the Medic's T1 Cycler (which can kill at range with 2 short bursts, when the equivalent NC gun would be lucky to land a bullet) just dick on the NC starting weapons. Ended up racking up 40 certs in an hour, battle rank 5 and had a generally unfrustrating time :/ Found the prowler quite enjoyable too though I do enjoy the Vanguards playing style a little more.
And I know what you're saying about ESF pilots, I think I've only ever seen one instance of NC aerial superiority when we've had an even fight over a base, being perpetually pounded by rocket pods has almost become routine.so much for pathos
I could do with them allowing us to move the HUD around. I'm not calling for modding support, just have an adjustable HUD (not unheard of, just seems to be very rare in games). They have fallen for the "We put the info around the edge, because that's what we've always done" approach and so my ammo, shield and health are a good 8" from the crosshairs where my attention normally is. If it was a third of the way up the screen in the middle then I wouldn't run into fights with one bullet left in my magazine quite so often (yes, this is me being crap).
Or you could check the 'Centralized Hud' option in the general settings. \o/
To the guns, i had quite the opposite in the beta.
I switched from TR to NC and suddenly hit a lot more and better. Now i am VS and suddenly i am almost capable at killing people. I suppose that has a lot to do with personal preferences.
Oh yeh in the beta the NC weapons were fine, but come release the Light Assault/Engineer carbine and HA LMG have had their recoil and cone of fire noticeabley increased. To the point where you could run into a room as a HA, get off 10 bullets aiming at someone's chest 10ft away and have none hit, which can be frustrating and innaccuracy of weapons means just means luck starts influencing fights more. The only redeeming weapon of the NC default arsenal is the 1-Hit Headshot sniper rifle the Infiltrator starts with.
so much for pathos
I'm loving it a lot more than I did during beta. Definitely needs improvements to the meta game though, as at current it does feel alot like BF3. Vanu weapons are so much more responsive than terrans, so glad I made the switch to join you guys over here!

Funny, my first impression with the game was "Wow, air force is such a joke in this game". Every tank comes with a reasonably effective AA gun(Basilisk), Sunderers come with two, let's not forget the AA emplacements and ESFs can be damaged even with infantry weapons including pistols. And, of course, your own air force... which pretty much limits air force to ESFs to getting a single salvo off then retreating because they're already at half health(which is horrendously inefficient for them) and Gunships hovering directly overhead out of the range of Basilisks(which never happens because it requires selflessness from the pilot who does nothing and gets nothing while the guy in second seat gets to kill everything for insane killstreaks and XP).
...but apparently it's been a "problem" and now AA is getting a buff?
Either I missed something or SOE has their heads completely up their asses. And considering the fact that SOE does indeed have their heads completely up their asses, I'm more inclined to go with the latter.
Huh. I mean, you're entitled to your opinion and all, but it's not just SOE who think that anti-air needs some buffing.

Recipe Directions
- 1. Dump almonds into high-speed blender. Add 4 cups water. Blend for 1-2 minutes until smooth.
- 2. Almond milk must be strained because it is pulpy (gritty). Pulp is very fine. Strain through a nut-milk bag (mesh/nylon/cheesecloth bag) to remove pulp. Almond milk is now ready.
- 3. There will be some fine almond bits ("almond pulp") leftover in the nut milk bag. Squeeze any excess liquid from almond pulp. Store almond pulp in freezer for use later in other raw recipes.
The Rawtarian's Thoughts
By The RawtarianI used to be terrified of making raw almond milk recipes. Instead, I made cashew milk as an alternative because raw cashew milk seemed easier since no straining was required.
However, now that I'm more price-conscious with my grocery bill, I've decided to make the switch from cashew milk to almond milk since almonds are much less expensive. And now I'm wondering why I didn't make the switch sooner!
For me, the thought of "straining" with a nut milk bag was overwhelming. And a lot of almond milk instructions seem to be overly complex and way too detailed. However, it's really just a 2-step process: blend and strain!
I hope that you find my pared down instructions on how to make a basic raw almond milk recipe helpful.
Raw almond milk can be stored in the fridge for a few days (3-4) in a sealed container. It might separate. Just shake or stir and it'll look normal again. If it smells funky, throw it out. If you need to use it up before it goes bad, add it to a smoothie.
Q. Do you really need a "nut milk bag"?
Yes!! Because I am cheap I thought I could Just use cheesecloth - which is super thin mesh material. However, it was a total disaster and basically didn't work because it was impossible to handle since the cheesecloth gets clogged up immediately and there is nowhere for the pulp to go. Thus, you need a nut-milk bag, which is basically similar to cheesecloth but because it is shaped like a sac it can hold all the excess pulp.

Hi Christina, I bought mine locally, but here is a very similar nylon nut milk bag that I recommend: http://tinyurl.com/b5vocdj
After the vitamix, put the pulp through a juicer - this gets most of the juice out and can save the need for a nut bag :). also coconut milk is amazing - just use the meat from brown coconuts with water - amazing!
I have a SS mesh strainer used for making Greek yogurt, will that substitute for the milk bag?
wilbur's Review
Raw almond milk recipe
I've been making almond milk for quite some time with a Blendtec blender with their "Twister" jar (intended for smaller quantities). This blender so completely pulverizes the almonds that straining really isn't necessary (the Vitamix blender is the only other blender on the market that will perform this well).
I use a higher ratio of almonds to water and get a product that is real creamy, and just the right addition to cereal in the morning. Here's the process I use:
1. Put 2/3 c of raw almonds in the blender jar. Put on the jar top and pulse a number of times until fairly evenly powdered, then blend at high speed until the contents start to turn to a paste.
2. Add 1 ½ cups of water and ice, and a little bit of vanilla. Make sure the top is fully seated, or it may come off during blending - believe me, it makes a mess. Blend, starting at mid speed, and increase the speed every five or six seconds until it is at high speed. My Blendtec has a smoothie cycle which does a perfect job and takes about forty seconds.
I use my Vitamix all the time for almond milk, without straining, and it's wonderful!
Hi. I recently made my almon milk and it tastes rancid. Is it likely to be stale nuts? If so how do I protect against this?
Regarding almonds being cheaper than cashews, that depends on where you buy them from. I found a fantastic company (Terrasoul) with fantastic products. Their cashews are less expensive than their almonds. However, they are both raw and organic. Further, their almonds are sourced from Spain, providing at least 2 benefits: (1) they are unpasteurized, and (2) they don't add to the worsening water problem in California. Of course, the downside is the environmental impact of importing them from farther away (for those who live farther away from Spain than from California).
Jessica's Review
Raw almond milk recipe
Thank you! I wanted to try this for so long, How many calories are there in a cup?
Hi, this is a total new venture for me. I was wondering if I should "Soak" my almonds? other recipes call for it but didn't notice that here or in instructions.
It is not NECESSARY to soak, but soaking is a good thing, similar to buying 100% organic produce. But sometimes it's not feasible/realistic to do either. But ideal to do both – for sure. Also, I don't like for people to get too caught up with doing everything "perfectly" because it can cause overwhelm and eventually falling off the wagon. Therefore, I recommend not soaking unless it's specifically stated in the recipe.
Here's a free video where I discuss nut soaking. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KhDWB7jv8E8%20rel=
To make my Almond Milk - I use the Soyabella Milk Maker by Tribest (at Amazon it is $109.95) It makes 4 cups at a time - and I currently use 1 cup daily in a Smoothie - and LOVE it!!! :-)
Abigail's Review
Raw almond milk recipe
Brilliant instructions thank you! I had a brainwave and used a jelly straining bag - it was amazing! Because it was elasticated at the top, I could put it over different sized jars and it strained really well. I highly recommend a jelly straining bag - I found mine in Lakeland (uk based shop) So much cheaper!!
Hi, the video seems to be missing.
I use a paint bag from Home Depot to strain the milk...3/4$ and WAY STRONGER(I think) than the regular nmb. Oh yeah, you get two! Can't beat that :)
Jade's Review
Raw almond milk recipe
That looks really good!
I've just soaked and dehydrated a batch of almonds for eating but was wondering if i can still use them for making almond milk- and if so do i need to re-soak them again?

I have no negative thoughts about this picture. What I saw on line is what I received in the mail. it's a beautiful picture.
Purchase Reason
This print of Monet's "Sailboat" is what I have chosen for my summer display in the most visible place in my living room. I rotate it with three other prints, as the seasons change. My selections of size, frame and mats were perfect for the piece as well as the area where it is displayed. It is now my favorite piece of my seasons collection.
Purchase Reason
Very pleased with quality of print and frame but wish I'd realised I could have ordered with non reflective glass.
Quick delivery.

Mints are a refreshing way to decorate a wedding or your restaurant or hotel. Our large selection of mint candy will do the trick. Stock your restaurant with after dinner starlight mints or leave classic green Andes mints in the rooms of your hotel. Everyone loves a mint, and sometimes they really need one! Mint candy is defined as any candy that has a mint flavor or contains real mint oil like peppermint or spearmint oil. But did you know that wintergreen is not really in the mint family? That's right, though it is frequently considered mint candy, wintergreen is actually not in the same botanical class as mint.
So Many Mints, All at Great Wholesale Prices
Hard mints are normally referred to as "breath mints." That includes Tic Tacs and Altoids, etc. But some mints do more than just freshen breath. Mints that actually contain peppermint oil or extract are popular to help digestion after a meal. Those after dinner mints are so useful! Soft mints are softer mints that usually have a higher butter content. That's why they sometimes call them "butter mints." Mentos are a good example of soft mints too.
If you need mints to use as wedding candy or you want to help your guests have fresh breath, our bulk mint candy selection has got what you need. The white dynamite mints are the most popular, but Andes Mints and the various starlight mints are very popular too. Enjoy some bulk mints at your celebration.
Whether you need a Tic Tac or to dress the tables at your wedding with gorgeous white mints, we've got all the bulk mints you need. From C. Howard's to Junior Mints, whatever your needs may be, you'll be minted with these refreshingly yummy candies! Freshen things up a bit with some bulk mints today.
Bulk mints online. Mints are verasatile candies, useful for many different occasions and for many different purposes. Freshen your breath after dinner in a restaurant or formal event. Decorate your wedding tables with gleaming white mints or pillow mints or accent your candy buffet color with the presnece of subtle white mints. Whether they're going on the pillows of hotel guests or in a bowl at the hostess table, mints go down well.

Jon Huntsman and Daughter Denounce GOP, Abby Joins Dems In Charlotte
**UPDATE: : Abby Huntsman emailed the Daily Caller earlier this afternoon and said the acceptance to attend the DNC convention was a joke.
"That was just fun back and forth banter with Governor Granholm," she told TheDC on Wednesday. "I've always been a Republican, but like many Americans right now, I feel without a home this election cycle."
Appearing: on the liberal network Tuesday night, Huntsman laughed and said, "I will join you there," when Granholm suggested she and other "independent and moderate Republicans" join the Democratic Party.
Yet, this harmless banter back and forth isn't the first time the Hunstman clan had broke with the party. : Last June, she gave a less than complimentary remarks about Sarah Palin. : Matt Hadro of the Media Research Center transcribed the exchange:
CHRISTINE ROMANS: What is — what is the problem here for him and his party?
ABBY HUNTSMAN: Well you know, like — like Ali Velshi said earlier, you know the candidates are lying about the economy, and that's not the case necessarily in what we're talking about. But I think he's frustrated with the party. They are — like you said, they are not being inclusive. They are not talking about these big, bold ideas. And there are a lot of people that feel the same way that he does and it's because of the lack of leadership that we are in this position today.
And I think — I am very proud of my dad, because I think he is standing up for what a lot of people feel is a problem today, this lack of leadership, this lack of boldness that is so desperately needed in the party. That is — we don't have it today.
ROMANS: So do you think he is speaking for moderate Republicans?
A. HUNTSMAN: I think he's speaking for a lot of Republicans, and you know Independents and Democrats even. This is about — this above politics. This is about the country.
Lacking bold ideas? Really? : The Ryan Budget is a bold proposal that is our best chance in getting our nation's fiscal house in order. Furthermore, Democrats haven't passed a budget in over 1,000 days, which shows they have no clear vision for the country. : House Republicans have sent almost thirty deficit reducing, regulation cutting, and job creating bills to the Senate, which are tabled by Harry Reid. : A politician who has resorted to lying about Romney's taxes to help the president's political agenda. : Obama's campaign goons have accused Romney of being complicit in the death of a steel worker's wife in a new ad by Priorities USA. : Mayor Cory Booker, a surrogate of the Obama campaign, has been thrown into the doghouse for criticizing the barrage of anti-Romney ads attacking his tenure at Bain Capital. : Yet, we're the intolerant ones.
I don't know why Jon Huntsman and his family continue to make a mockery of their own party. : Howard Kurtz wrote back in April on some possible scenarios:
: –He's really ticked off at the GOP for failing to see the brilliance of his candidacy.
–He feels he damaged his reputation with his short-lived presidential run and is doing some repair work.
–He's bored and wants some attention.
Whatever the motivation, Huntsman is more interesting, and entertaining, right now than he was while slogging through New Hampshire, where he tried–and failed–to turn a third-place tie into a semblance of momentum.
Maybe former candidates are inherently more fascinating when freed from the constraints of having to pander to actual voters. Or maybe he's just looking for a gig on MSNBC.
However, when the party has an intense anti-Obama sentiment flowing through its veins, it's not smart to have letters praising the current Democratic president or that of his predecessors. : It also doesn't help your presidential ambitions when, as Daniel Allot wrote in The American Spectator: back in January, you break:
…One of the cardinal rules of modern American politics…[the] popularized the 11th Commandment…never speak ill of another Republican.
Huntsman broke what could be called the 12th commandment of modern Republican politics: never speak well of a Democrat. But Huntsman didn't speak well of just any Democrat. He complimented the three Democrats most loathed by Republicans: Barack Obama and Bill and Hillary Clinton.
When he resigned as ambassador to China, Huntsman wrote a short note to Obama, thanking him for the chance to serve. He referred to Obama as "a remarkable leader" and wrote, "it has been a great honor getting to know you." He even underlined the word "remarkable."
In another letter, Huntsman had kind words for President Clinton and Secretary of State Clinton, calling the former's analysis of world events "brilliant."
We're an inclusive party. : We're the party of ideas that more associated with the Madisonian experiment of limited government and the American entrepreneurial spirit. : It may not have appeared that way in the past, but since the Tea Party has become the heart and soul of the GOP; I have more hope for the future of the conservative movement.
Personally, I liked Jon Huntsman. I think his vast foreign policy experience will make him a great choice for Secretary of State if Romney is elected president. : Sure, there were some things I thought he could have been more to the right of, in terms of policy, but he is a solid Republican overall. I just don't know why he thinks it's appropriate to bash the political organization that is best suited to deliver the reforms needed to keep up fiscally healthy and militarily robust abroad. : However, it looks like the Huntsman clan is moving towards the exit concerning their membership with the Republican Party.
