California Cops Arrest, Harass Man for Videotaping Them on the Job
Jason Mick
November 26, 2012 4:01 PM
comment(s) - last by
VideoTape All ..
Dec 2
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
Message sent is that citizens should not be able to monitor the public actions of officials they employ
"If you don't give me your ID, then you're going to jail."
That's what a California cop, Officer Gabriel "Gabe" Lira, tells a man who is videotaping a routine traffic stop. For Daniel J. Saulmon who lives in Hawethorne, a suburb of Los Angeles west of Compton, he was simply doing his citizens duty. After all, his taxes help fund the Hawethorne Police Department, so why shouldn't he be allowed to
record video of police in public
on the job, in order to ensure that they do not abuse their citizen-entrusted power?
I. Show Some ID, Bud
Unfortunately, the Hawethorne Police Department's police officers didn't feel they owed the taxpayer anything.
Instead they arrest him (as the tape clearly shows) for failing to produce ID. The only problem? There is no law in California banning recording of on-duty cops and there is no law that requires Californians to produce papers to cops. And in states where there
such laws, the requirement is that the individual be suspected of committing a crime.
Initially the HPD tried to charge the citizen with
resisting, delaying and obstructing an officer
-- an offense punishable for up to $1,000 USD in fines and a year in jail. They also cited him for
not having reflectors
on his bike pedals (punishable with a fine of up to $250 USD).
Ultimately both charges were dropped. Mr. Saulmon's video, ironically, offered vindication by showing the officer improperly demanded his identification. It also showed he was standing a good distance away from the investigation site, and hence was not obstructing.
The extra irony is that the HPD officers should definitely have known better than to pick on Mr. Saulmon. Keenly aware of his rights, he regularly records local arrests. In 2005 he was arrested in a similar situation for eavesdropping/wiretapping. The charges were eventually dropped, and the HPD paid him a settlement of $25,000 USD for the wrongful arrest.
Mr. Saulmon is likely to pursue a similar settlement from the department this time around.
He tells the blog
Photography is not a crime
, "They knew exactly who I was. They always address me as 'Mr. Saulmon'."
II. Justice for Some, But Not All
While the incident ended in vindication for the accused, other similar encounters across the country
ended with little reprieve
for the arrested videotaper. That's because some jurisidictions have banned citizens from recording local cops. The fight to overturn these verdicts may have been given a helping hand by the U.S. Attorney General, who
penned a fiery response
arguing that such arrests were unconstitutional. U.S. Circuit Appeals courts
have ruled
such taping to be well within a citizen's rights.
Some police organizations are still fighting to push back the current federal mandate and instead making taping cops a federal crime.
Jim Pasco, executive director of the
Fraternal Order of Police
, argues that officers should not have to be held accountable and should be free to arrest citizens who try to monitor their activity for wrongdoing.

He comments, "They [police officers] need to move quickly, in split seconds, without giving a lot of thought to what the adverse consequences for them might be. We feel that anything that's going to have a chilling effect on an officer moving — an apprehension that he's being videotaped and may be made to look bad — could cost him or some citizen their life or some serious bodily harm."
Mark Donahue, president of the Fraternal Order of Police, agrees. He has stated in previous comments that his organization "absolutely supports" throwing those who tape police officers behind bars.
He complains that citizens monitoring police activities for wrongdoing might "affect how an officer does his job on the street."

RE: all part of a pattern
I too have been on the receiving end of abusive Jack Booted Thugs. Many JBT's will lie so that they can perform an illegal search. They will even go so far as to play Judge Dread and assault you when nobodies looking if they think you are guilty. Police need to be monitored and we need to fight to reverse the police state that is forming. Most cops act like they are some special privilaged class of citizen and that has to stop. Police are the same as citizens only they have a couple extra legal protections, some of which they shouldn't even have. Citizens can carry guns, citizens can arrest, the only difference is citizens don't have blanket legal protection if their arrest is bogus.
RE: all part of a pattern
Personally i think a video cam should be mandatory for every cop that on the job, it has huge benefits for both sides.
- There is no question of (intentional) wrong full testimony of eider side.
- Complaints against the police go down if people see there own behavior.
- Cops also behave better according to the law.
- Conviction rate go's up with stronger evidence.
- Questionable actions can be judged in the right light(*)
In case of for example, of a police officer shooting a unarmed suspect, did the suspect behaved like he was reaching for a gun or not, as now it often comes down to police testimony.
In Holland its not illegal to videotape a police, what is illegal is publishing it out of context.
Like putting up a video of a cop only hitting a suspect, but without the sequence of events before the cop hit the suspect, like kicking and spitting or what ever fiscal or verbal abuse preceded it.
Having police waring a video cam all the time when they are on the job would imho clear up many misunderstanding and ensure that at least the cops behave them self's in a way they are suppose to do, and as long as they behave properly they also have a better defense against wrongful accusations of misconduct.
We had on a central bus station, after a report of a armed man walking around, a officer shooting a unarmed north African man, for two weeks the officer was accused of misconduct in the newspaper.
Police shooting don't very often happen in Norway, so it was pretty big news.
But after 2 weeks some one that had bin on a holiday trip came back that had videotaped the incident on his mobile, ware you clearly could see the guy not following armed police instructions, and reaching in his pocket, even after the police warned the person in Norwegian and English to stop or they would shoot.
IMHO there would be only one winner with police waring cam's all the time, and that would be the truth.
"It looks like the iPhone 4 might be their Vista, and I'm okay with that." -- Microsoft COO Kevin Turner

interesting - changelog for mumble 1.1.4 says os x support has been introduced and positional audio on all audio backends, in addition to a bump upto qt 4.4 and improved pulseaudio support.
you might want to check out this old link detailing whats coming up with pulseaudio 0.9.11...
Its a post by a pa dev that details the traditional sound playback model n a glitch-free model, along with the changes to pa so that it adopts a glitch free model.
also read the comments, definitely an interesting read.
bluetooth support under pa is also a gsoc project this year http://code.google.com/soc/2008/blue...18999748B418AE
along with the openal sampling work, I think this year might be one of the more interesting wrt linux audio.

This cart is solid wood, and well engineered. It is very sturdy and will stand up to daily use for many years. We actually bought two of these and screwed them together back to back to create a small kitchen island with drawers and cabinets on both the kitchen side and the dining room side. We jointed the tops and glued them together for a seamless look. It is perfect for our needs. It has real metal drawer glides. The shelves are grooved on the underside so that they sit firmly on the shelf pins and won't slide around. With two of us, it took about 2 1/2 hours to build the first one and 1 1 /2 to build the second. The drawer fronts did need a little adjusting. I would definitely not recommend trying to build this alone. It would be very difficult to do without one to hold and one to place the screws. Overall, we are extremely happy with our purchase.
I received the kitchen cart, Cottage Oak Finish with Wood Top Create-a-Cart, and was quite put off from the odor, which took 2 days to clear out of my house with the windows open. I also was very shocked how dark the wood is, I have all oak in my kitchen and this is more on the line of a cherry color. I also am very disappointed with the fact that once the top was put on the drawers will no longer close without being forced because thtey are hitting the wood top and because the drawer slides were predrilled, in order to fix it I will have to take the drawer apare and redrill the holes, which will possibly cause the holes to be too large for the screws, but it will need to be fixed in order to shut the drawers completely. Also, one of the metal handles is not drilled deep enough, so the screw will not screw in all the way, and when you open the drawer that side of the handle keeps popping off the screw.
I would love to review this item but as yet it has not been delivered. When I ordered this cabinet, the wrong delivery address appeared. I called immediately, not 5 minutes later, to have this corrected. The woman on the telephone said she would contact the supplier and try to change the address. Several days later, I received as e-mail that the cabinet had been delivered to the false address but that a recall had been issued and a tracking number was sent to me. In the meantime, my credit card had been charged, but nothing delivered. Upon further inquiry, someone stopped the pick-up and no one seems to know where the cabinet is. I would still like to have this article delivered to the proper address and not be charged twice. Please see if you can help.
Hard to put drawers together ,starter holes for drawers not drilled big are deep enough,wood very hard,takes two people to put together.
This is a great piece. It came in two boxes - one for the top and one for the base. It was easy to put together and only took about two hours total, in part because I make sure to glue the holes where the dowels fit in to ensure there is no wiggle. They only flaw I found was that the base piece had all the dowels already installed and some broke due to shifting of heavy parts. I had to drill them out and replace them but that was easy and after that it all went together without a hitch. It really is a sturdy piece and very nice to look at.

In the summer of 1962, nineteen-year-old Mimi Beardsley arrived in Washington, D.C., to begin an internship in the White House press office. After just three days on the job, the privileged but sheltered young woman was presented to the President himself. Almost immediately, the two began an affair that would continue for the next eighteen months. Emotionally unprepared to counter the President's charisma and power, Mimi was also ill-equipped to handle the feelings of isolation that would follow as she fell into the double life of a college student who was also the secret lover of the most powerful man in the world. After the President's assassination in Dallas, she grieved alone, locked her secret away, and tried to start a new life, only to be blindsided by her past.
Now, no longer defined by silence or shame, Mimi Alford finally unburdens herself with this unflinchingly honest account of her life and her extremely private moments with a very public man. This paperback edition includes a special Q&A, in which the author reflects on the intense media attention surrounding the book's initial release. Once Upon a Secret is a moving story of a woman emerging from the shadows to reclaim the truth.
"With the benefit of hindsight and good old-fashioned maturity, [Mimi Alford] writes not just about the secret, but the corrosive effect of keeping that secret. . . . You can't help liking her, or her elegant and thoroughly good-natured book."—The Spectator
"What [Alford] sacrificed in lucre she has more than recovered in credibility and dignity."—The Washington Times
"Compelling . . . a polished voice telling a credible story you can take to the bank."—Seattle Post-Intelligencer
"Explosive . . . searingly candid."—New York Post
Look for special features inside. Join the Circle for author chats and more.
1. The beginning of Mimi's relationship with the President was hardly fairy-tale. In your opinion, was there anything Mimi could have done to change this? In what ways did this beginning influence the dynamic of their entire relationship?
2. Mimi admits that while she was comfortable around the President, there was always going to be an imbalance of power in their relationship, and that, in fact, she never called him anything but "Mr. President." Do you think that Mimi would have been able to overcome this imbalance if she had desired? How do you think it might have changed her relationship to the President?
3. On several occasions during their relationship the President coerced Mimi into performing acts that she was uncom- fortable with, such as taking amyl nitrate at a party. Mimi attributes this to the President's desire to assert his power over her. In what other, less harmful ways did the President assert that same power throughout the course of their relationship?
4. In one of those instances, Mimi refused the President's request, and the matter was dropped. What do you think the outcome would have been had Mimi refused the President on the other occasions as well? Does Mimi seem to take responsibility for her part in these events, or does she seem to view them as having been beyond her control?
5. Mimi talks about Dave Powers with nothing but affection, and often Powers was the one who provided emotional support for Mimi while she was with the President. Do you think that Powers had an obligation to protect Mimi, or was it simply his responsibility to do everything he could for the President?
6. When Mimi first told the President about Tony, she de- scribed him as being, on paper, "a perfect match." In what ways do you think Mimi's relationship with JFK might have impacted the sort of man she would consider to be a perfect match for herself?
7. Do you think that Mimi's interpretation of the President as intentionally winding down the affair is correct? What might have motivated him to do this?
8. What do you think of Tony's reaction to Mimi's revelation about her affair? In what ways did Tony's reaction and Mimi's acceptance set the tone for the rest of their relationship together?
9. Do you think Tony might have reacted differently if Mimi had told him about the affair earlier in their relationship? What might have changed?
10. In what ways did Tony's instruction that Mimi never share her secret with anyone else liberate her, as she describes it? In what ways did it imprison her?
11. Neither Mimi's relationship with Tony nor her relation- ship with the President was as emotionally healthy as the relationship she found with her current husband. In what ways were those early relationships similar? In what ways did they differ?
12. When Mimi finally shared her secret with her cousin Joan, she seemed unsure if she would "ever have the nerve" to talk to anyone else, despite how much better it made her feel. What do you think might account for this?
13. At several points in the book, Mimi describes the act of revealing her secret—to friends, to family, and even having it exposed by the media—as being liberating. In your experience, has keeping secrets had a negative impact on your life? Has sharing them been as freeing as Mimi describes?

Here are a few photos of the finished interior of the room. We went for understated at least for now, so it doesn't really stand out when it's closed up. Someday we may do a different wall treatment, we're seeing how the drywall and paint hold up. I have had to wash oil and soot off the wall a couple times, so we're not sure how it will look long-term. If it starts looking stained or dingy, we'll do something.

SUNY school that is the last stop before entering hells gate (Canada). Very plentiful with bongo playing hippies, underachieving hipsters who could not get into any New York city schools as well as anyone who has picked up a guitar in their life and claims to be a musician. The only thing of any relevance is the campus weight room and hockey team. If you attend you will major in kan jam or crying when the Buffalo Bills lose every game.
When in Fredonia make sure you visit Sunny's so you can take home 18 year old girls after their boyfriends are puking or being arrested. Make sure you buy her Street Meat so their is more than one regret that night.

BMW shows new 1000 supersport BMW S1000RR
Article Summary
April 16, 2008 BMW has applied a lot of resources to its F1 effort in the last two years and is reaping the improved brand values of the success of the BMW Sauber F1 team, which has closed the gap to Ferrari and McLaren at the pinnacle of motorsport. BMW Motorrad (motorcycles) is already in the middle of a broad-based model initiative, and it declared its hand last night in the toughest category of all – superbike territory. The company's first entry into the area will be the S1000RR, a 1000cc four cylinder that looks a treat, at least based on the racing prototype shown overnight in Munich.

Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki (大筒木ハゴロモ, Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo), known to the world at large as the Sage of the Six Paths (六道仙人, Rikudō Sennin), was a legendary god-like figure who founded the arts of ninjutsu and created the ninja world. He was the son of Princess Kaguya Ōtsutsuki and the first human to be born with chakra. He defeated the Ten-Tails in battle and sealed the beast within his own body, thus becoming the very first jinchūriki in history.
Hagoromo was born to Kaguya Ōtsutsuki, a princess who ate the forbidden fruit of the Shinju that appeared once a millennium in an effort to gain god-like abilities to put an end to the constant wars during that era. As a result, Hagoromo was born with the ability to manipulate the same type of powerful chakra like his mother. The Shinju, furious with Kaguya's actions, was determined to get its chakra back, which caused the tree to assume a monstrous form of what many christened as the Ten-Tails.
The Ten-Tails rampaged throughout the lands until Hagoromo managed to single-handedly defeat the beast by becoming its jinchūriki, and became revered as a god for the virtue of his victory. According to Jiraiya, with his knowledge of the concept of chakra, the Sage travelled across the land, spreading his ideals and religion, the Shinobi Sect (忍宗, Ninshū), which eventually came to be known as ninjutsu. His great deeds and ultimate desire to bring peace to the war-torn world made him widely known as the Saviour of this World (この世の救世主, Kono Yo no Kyūseishu).[4][5]
However, knowing that his death would unleash the Ten-Tails back into the world to continue its rampage and reclaim the chakra that humanity now possesses, Hagoromo separated the monster's chakra from its body before using Chibaku Tensei to seal the husk in what would become the moon.[6][7] From there, he used his Creation of All Things ability to divide the chakra into nine fragments that are each given a physical form and name. Some time after their creation, the young tailed beasts were told that they were all still linked to one another despite being separate entities. Hagoromo also told them that would eventually become one again, yet not as they originally were, and that one shall appear at that time to show them what true power is.[8]
Hagoromo would leave behind a tablet for his descendants, detailing the history of his struggle with the Ten-Tails. Only those who possess the Rinnegan can fully decipher the contents of the tablet, while a reader with a lesser dōjutsu can still partially interpret the information.[9]
Hagoromo's ultimate wish was to establish peace across the world, but it was a goal that would never be achieved in a single lifetime. Knowing this, he chose to entrust his strength, dream, and legacy to his two sons. The older son, who inherited his "eyes" (his powerful chakra and spiritual energy), believed that power was the true key to peace. The younger son, who inherited his "body" (his powerful life force and physical energy), believed that love was the true key to peace. On his deathbed, Hagoromo chose his younger son to be his successor. Overcome by bitterness and envy, the older son fought against his brother, beginning a war between them. Their feud has continued on through their descendants: the Senju clan and the Uchiha clan.[6][7]
Hagoromo was a man who sought peace by spreading his wisdom across the world. He was exceptionally wise, as he was able to bring about a great change to the world by simply disseminating the principles of chakra and his religion. He also seemed to care a great deal for the tailed beasts when they were still with him; he gave them each a name as a sign of their individuality, and told them that no matter how far apart they grew, they would always be together, and would someday be led down the right path. In return, the tailed beasts showed respect and adoration for the Sage. Kurama even shed a tear at the thought of his imminent passing, suggesting that the beasts might even have viewed him as a sort of father-figure.
Although initially depicted as a silhouette, several details about Hagoromo's appearance can be inferred. He had a long beard and short light-coloured shaggy hair that spiked up in the front with two distinctive parts of his hair resembling horns. He wore a white full-length cloak (haori) with a high collar, revealing his necklace with six red magatama. These symbols were later mimicked by Nagato's Deva Path, and the seal around the neck of Naruto Uzumaki's and Minato Namikaze's Nine-Tails Chakra Modes and Tailed Beast Modes. On the back of his cloak was a reflection of a seal which had the Rinnegan with nine magatama (both red in the anime) in three rows beneath it, much like the seal which appeared on Obito Uchiha's back after he became the Ten-Tails' jinchūriki.[10] In one appearance where his face was partially visible, he was in an elderly state.[11]
Though not a great deal is known about all the skills Hagoromo possessed, he is widely accepted to be the most powerful figure in history, having single-handedly defeated the Ten-Tails: a being that was revered as a god, causing the Sage himself to be seen as a god. Hagoromo was also revered as the man to first understand the very nature of chakra itself. This wisdom, combined with his kekkei genkai, the Rinnegan, allowed Hagoromo to create the first modern ninjutsu. With such powers at his disposal, Hagoromo obtained a great following, as men and women from across the world strove to learn from his teachings.
Jinchūriki Transformation
Hagoromo developed the first technique capable of sealing a tailed beast inside a human body, making himself the very first jinchūriki in history. Having the Ten-Tails' great power contained within him, Hagoromo developed immeasurable power and chakra that far surpassed all others, allowing him to be renowned for possessing the Treasured Tools of the Sage of the Six Paths, which are tools that require a vast reservoir of chakra which would quickly kill any normal human in order to be used. Even on his deathbed, Hagoromo was able to employ his Chibaku Tensei technique on a massive scale and use that chakra to create the moon to seal the body of the Ten-Tails within it, a clear testament to his incredible power.
Hagoromo is revered as one of the most legendary figures in the ninja world, powerful enough to create the moon using Chibaku Tensei, while on his deathbed. He was also very versed in fūinjutsu, able to first seal the Ten-Tails into his own body, and was able to seal it into the moon when his life came to an end.
Yin–Yang Release
By using the Yin chakra, that comes from the spiritual energy, and the Yang chakra, that comes from the physical energy, he had the ability to create form from nothingness with a mere thought to bring it to life. Hagoromo created the nine tailed beasts from the Ten-Tails' chakra by using this ability.[7]
Hagoromo was shown carrying two objects. One was what appeared to be a katana, implying that he was skilled in kenjutsu, whilst the other was a shakujō — a Buddhist ringed staff which is meant to be used in prayer.[12]
Hagoromo also made use of a holy sword known as the Sword of Nunoboko, which he reportedly used to create the world.[13]
Treasured Tools
Hagoromo wielded unique tools which became known as the Treasured Tools of the Sage of the Six Paths, each of which possess a unique and powerful ability. The five treasures are: the Bashōsen, Benihisago, Kōkinjō, Shichiseiken, and the Kohaku no Jōhei. By combining the Benihisago, Kōkinjō, and Shichiseiken, Hagoromo could capture the word soul of his victims, and then draw them into the gourd to seal them away. With the Bashōsen, he could generate any of the five basic elements. The Kohaku no Jōhei allowed him to seal anyone without the elaborate procedures used for the Benihisago.
Hagoromo was believed to have been the only shinobi to have fully mastered the Rinnegan, and also learned to control all five types of nature chakra. As a wielder of the Rinnegan, he also wielded all the abilities of the Six Paths Technique.[14]
It is impossible to overestimate Hagoromo's effect on the course of the ninja world's development. As the first true ninja, he created the ninja world, revolutionised it, and left it forever changed. As his disciples grew continuously greater in number, it led to the creation of ninja clans, and later, ninja villages.
As time passed, Hagoromo ultimately faded into legend. His bloodline was divided into the descendants of his two children, which would eventually form the Senju clan — and through distant relations the Uzumaki clan — and the Uchiha clan. As a result of Madara Uchiha acquiring and integrating Senju DNA into his body, the Rinnegan would later resurface. Though he noted nothing happened initially after the DNA integration, when he neared the end of his natural lifespan, the dōjutsu finally awakened.[15] With that, Madara Uchiha managed to undo Hagoromo's seal on the vessel of the Ten-Tails by summoning it from the moon and formulated the Eye of the Moon Plan to become the Ten-Tails' new jinchūriki.[15]
Because Nagato, a pupil of Jiraiya's, manifested the Rinnegan, the latter suspected Nagato to be the reincarnation of the Sage himself.[16] In reality, Madara secretly transplanted his own Rinnegan to the boy, without his knowledge.[15] Nagato, as a descendant of the Senju-related Uzumaki clan, was the perfect host for the dōjutsu; however, Nagato noted that his own power would have paled in comparison to the Sage's.[17] Others, including Kakashi Hatake, noted that the Rinnegan was viewed merely as a mutation.[18] Kurama and Son Gokū's recognition of Hagoromo (and the tailed beasts' apparent status as the only survivors from Hagoromo's lifetime), lends credibility to his existence.[19][20]
Before he died, Hagoromo told the young tailed beasts that someone would come and lead them on the right path. The tailed beasts would all later come to agree that this person is Naruto Uzumaki.[21]
- 'Hagoromo' (羽衣) literally means 'feather mantle' and is a reference to The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter, in which Princess Kaguya is given a hagoromo to wear upon her return to the moon. The surname 'Ōtsutsuki' (大筒木) roughly means 'big bamboo tree' and is derived from an obscure passage in the second volume of the Kojiki about the genealogies of Emperor Suinin, eleventh emperor of Japan, which states that he had a consort named Kaguyahime no Mikoto (迦具夜比売命), the daughter of a king named Ōtsutsukitarine no Miko (大筒木垂根王); tradition holds that these individuals served as the basis for Princess Kaguya and the old bamboo cutter in the aforementioned tale.
- The horn-like tufts of Hagoromo's hair may in fact symbolise rabbit ears, representing his connection to the moon by evoking the moon rabbit; pop culture depictions of Princess Kaguya and the moon-folk often incorporate features like rabbit ears for this reason.
- The necklace that Hagoromo wore might be a reference to the Yasakani Jewel; a legendary magatama necklace that is part of the Japanese Imperial Regalia, together with the Kusanagi Sword and the Yata Mirror.
- Hagoromo shares the same nickname with both the First and Third Hokage, who were all known as the God of Shinobi (忍の神, Shinobi no Kami).
- Due to the Gold and Silver Brothers' ability to assimilate Kurama's chakra by eating some of its flesh, the Fourth Raikage suspected them to be distantly related to Hagoromo.[22]
- (As quoted by Jiraiya) "I am the one who will establish peace and order." (「我安寧秩序を成す者」, "Ware annei chitsujo o nasu mono.")[16]
- (To the tailed beasts) "I don't have long any more. Shukaku, Matatabi, Isobu, Son Gokū, Kokuō, Saiken, Chōmei, Gyūki, Kurama. Even though you have been separated, you shall always be together. Until eventually that time shall come when you will become one… You each carry a name… And with a different shape than you had up to now, you will be shown a righteous path, different from the time you spent inside of me. What is true power… …Until that time…" (「私はもう長くない 守鶴・又旅・磯撫・孫悟空・穆王・犀犬・重明・牛鬼・九喇嘛 離れていてもお前達はいつも一緒だ いずれ一つとなる時が来よう…それぞれの名を持ち…今までとは違う形でな そして私の中に居た時と違い正しく導かれる 本当の力とは何か… …その時まで…」, "Watashi wa mō nagakunai. Shukaku, Matatabi, Isobu, Son Gokū, Kokuō, Saiken, Chōmei, Gyūki, Kurama. Hanarete ite mo omaetachi wa itsumo issho da. Izure hitotsu to naru toki ga koyō… Sorezore no na o mochi… Ima made to wa chigau katachi de na. Soshite watashi no naka ni ita toki to chigai tadashiku michibikareru.

Item Discontinued
Before packing my November kit away, I just had to try my take on this awesome video that Miranda Edney made for Swirlydoos https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RVzYP9tk8zU Miranda is a member of the Swirlydoos Education Team and she recorded this to demonstrate the November Project Add-On. (There is always a project Add-On at Swirlydoos, guaranteed to get the mojo juices flowing.) I don't have a reverse brick stencil, but I do have reverse chicken wire. Somehow, Miranda's gears morphed into snowflakes full of gelatos and Shimmerz. Miranda, I want to thank you for the inspiration that you gave me; as you can see, I loved coming up with my version of your gorgeous canvas.

Mariners Tickets Giveaway Official Rules
The purpose behind this contest is just to make people smile. There are no gimmicks, behind the scene tricks, or anything shady like that. It's very simple. On Twitter, @MLBwayneMLB, I'll post a question regarding something about baseball and whoever answers correctly will win a single game ticket to that days Mariners game. I'll ask that you either email me or DM me your first and last name so I can purchase the ticket and have it at will call ready for you to pick up. Sounds good? Okay, great! Lets move onto some ground rules, shall we?
Even though this is such a simple contest, answer and win type gig, we still need some rules to follow by, right? First of all, the ticket you will get will be a centerfield bleacher seat. And it's just ONE ticket. Not a pair, or three or four. Just one, random ticket in centerfield. I think they run like, 10 bucks or something like that this season. If you're not happy with the ticket, once you pick it up at will call, you can certainly upgrade. This is just me being a nice guy. I expect nothing in return. Well, maybe a thank you and a follow on Twitter. That would be pretty sweet. And make sure you retweet what I'm doing if you are on Twitter so other people can join in and try to win a free ticket.
Secondly, I hold the right to pick any winner I choose. This makes it fair for everyone. Some people are on Twitter more than others and if someone continues to win free tickets after another, I'll step in and make sure others get a fair shot. I want a lot of people to win and enjoy some Mariner baseball. I think that's reasonable. If you're a season ticket holder and you already have tickets for today's game and you want to try to win the free ticket anyway, make sure that whoever you're winning the ticket for can actually attend the game. I don't want the ticket to go to waste.
This contest is just for weekday games. Non-premium type. Monday through Thursday. I'd include weekend games but they usually charge more for those games. Plus giveaway games may or may not be included depending on the giveaway. Also, if you can't attend the Mariner game or live out of town or something, try to resist answering the questions. This is just for people who are for sure going to the game that day. And again, your ticket will be left at will call with your name. If you'd like to just meet me at the gate prior to game time, that's fine. I can bring your ticket with me but if you aren't at the gate by 4:40pm, I'm going in without you.
My inspiration for doing this is because Cleveland Indians closer, Chris Perez decided to give a pair of tickets away to every Indians home game for the rest of the season to help boost attendance. I thought that was pretty awesome. So I copied his contest and started my own for Mariner home games. It's nothing fancy but it makes me feel good to do this for people.
Those are the ground rules. If you have any questions, comments or concerns, you can direct them in comment form below or email me at email@example.com. I'm a pretty reasonable guy. So hit me up!

For the second year in a row, Lake Tahoe will not be along the route of the 2013 Amgen Tour of California, an annual week-long Tour de France-style cycling road race across the Golden State.
Twelve cities in the Bay Area and in Southern California were announced Tuesday to be the 2013 hosts along the race route. No Sierra Nevada cities are included. The division of the route into a south to north course is the first split in the eight-year race's history.
"We were surprised they didn't at least come up to Sacramento," said Nevada City Mayor Duane Strawser, who played crucial roles in bringing Amgen to Nevada City previously.
Considered among America's largest road cycling stage races, the eighth consecutive edition of the Amgen Tour of California will travel approximately 750 miles from May 12-19.
Nevada City previously hosted the opening stage of the race in 2010 and 2011.
Famed cyclist Lance Armstrong, recently mired in a doping scandal and stripped of many of his titles, played a sizable part in successfully advocating starting the 2010 Amgen race route in Nevada City, after winning the 2009 Nevada City Classic.
In 2011, when a snowstorm disrupted the planned Lake Tahoe opening stage of the race, stage two of that route was shortened and the starting point moved to Nevada City from Squaw Valley.
It isn't fair to expect Amgen to come to Nevada City year after year, Strawser said.
"There are hundreds of other cities that deserve (an Amgen stop)," Strawser said. "As a cyclist, I want to see this thing shared around other communities."
Yet Strawser continues to lobby Amgen for future races.
"We're angled more toward 2014," he said. "We're busy trying to get communities in this region together and make a viable option next year. To make this happen, no one is going to offer anything. It has to be strength in numbers and presenting the route to them.
Strawser is in talks with Redding, Chico and the Tahoe communities to work together to attract Amgen, he said.
"I would say we have very good chance of getting another race up here in the future," Strawser said. "I'm very positive that we are going to be included sooner than rather, but we're really at the mercy of cooperation with the communities around us. If anyone bails, the rest of us are collateral damage."
The first stage of the 2013 race will begin and finish in Escondido, a northern San Diego town that had previously hosted the 2009 Amgen overall finish.
The second stage of the race will begin the next day and take riders through the hot desert terrain from Murrieta to Greater Palm Springs, two cities making their race debut.
The third stage of the race will return to Palmdale for a stage start and then travel approximately 100 miles west to the city of Santa Clarita, which has hosted the race in 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2011.
Santa Clarita will also serve as the start of the fourth stage. From there, the cyclists will ride north toward the Pacific Coast and Santa Barbara, which last hosted the race in 2008. The race will remain in Santa Barbara for the start of the fifth stage, taking cyclists north to Avila Beach for the Stage 5 finish.
San Jose will host the sixth stage's start and the individual time trial, marking the eighth consecutive year the race has visited the city and the only city that has participated in all eight editions.
Stage 7 will start in Livermore and head to Mt. Diablo for an intense mountaintop finish.
The eighth and final stage of the 2013 Amgen Tour will start in San Francisco and finish in Santa Rosa, which hosted the official race start last year.
Amgen returns as the race's title sponsor for the eighth consecutive year.
"The Amgen Tour of California has provided a platform for us to extend the reach of Breakaway from Cancer, a collaboration between Amgen and four nonprofit organizations dedicated to empowering patients through education, resources, and hope," said Bob Azelby, vice president and general manager, Amgen Oncology. "Given Amgen's mission to serve patients, we look forward to honoring cancer survivors and their loved ones in the host communities as the race travels throughout California."
Carrying an elite distinction, the Amgen Tour of California is listed on the international professional cycling calendar, awarding important, world-ranking points to the top finishers. The race draws global attention, including Olympic medalists, World Champions and the top Tour de France competitors.
"Taking the Amgen Tour of California from south to north is something we always knew we wanted to do, and we are thrilled with the way things have come together for 2013," said Kristin Bachochin, executive director of the Amgen Tour of California and senior vice president of AEG Sports, in a statement.
"We think this will bring a whole new element to the competition for the elite cyclists who participate, not to mention some striking California scenery for our worldwide audience," Bachochin said. "California provides a variety of beautiful yet challenging terrain, helping us achieve our goal of creating a challenging route year after year while showcasing the very best this state has to offer."

Now that's what I like to see!
Phoronix: Will Ubuntu 9.04 Be Jauntily Fast?
When announcing Ubuntu 9.04, the Jaunty Jackalope, Mark Shuttleworth had hoped to make this next Ubuntu Linux release perform better and to boot blindingly quick, in particular with Ubuntu beginning to appear on more mobile devices. Well, with Alpha 4 have been released earlier this month, are Canonical developers and the community in the right direction with making Ubuntu 9.04 boot quickly? We have boot-time benchmarks of the latest Ubuntu 9.04 work along with Linux desktop benchmarks comparing it to its predecessor, Ubuntu 8.10.
Now that's what I like to see!
What about a graphics comparison?
It would be much more interesting.
Xrender and OpenGL.
That device (samsung) has an intel 950 which is quite common on netbooks. That is much more interesting
Well, one thing crossed my mind. Nice that 9.04 boots faster than 8.10, but WHY THE F...HELL it has twice or more processes at boot ? -_-;
I agree. I found the inclusion of ImageMagick Compile Time test rather strange. I'd think that Ubuntu's target user user doesn't compile amything.
I think a productivity benchmark and graphics benchmark would be a more relevant way of testing if Jaunty will be faster than its predecessor.
If they manage to fix this http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12309 then it will be fast .
Ubuntu 9.04 uses ext3 by default, fyi.

I have to say that you guys are doing an outstanding job in providing the latest hardware benchmarks relevant to linux users.
I've recently become a regular reader and am very pleased with all the information relevant to linux users, which isn't available anywhere else in this form.
Thanks and keep up the great work!
