Dragon software needs to be spell checked sometimes…
SOPA does not molest jobs, money, rights, or life unless you are violating another "persons" rights. Violating another's "rights" is wrong. This bill/law will be irrelevant entirely when the FCC is ordered to regulate ALL wire communications as directed by law NOW! The FCC is now ignoring wire communications they are supposed to regulate.
This bill has been completely overhyped by the media. The bill does not in anyway take down the Internet. It very specifically states that the bill only applies to sites that are solely for the purpose of illegal actions. These sites are already illegal and this bill just makes it easier to prosecute them. It again differentiates between them and normal websites. This not apply to the vast majority of the Internet. Businesses like Google are against it simply because they would be too lazy to adjust their search engines.
These websites are again already illegal and do not have a right to exist. The bill is therefore not at all that bad. I feel it should be divided into separate bills for its many sections for better detail, but it is not a censorship bill. Its wording is not vague at all but actually very specific.-
Funny. I thought the media were the guys backing the bill… I know the Motion Picture Association of America is one of the main ones. Pity none of them know how computers work otherwise they'd see that it'll be like throwing a snowball into a furnace for stopping piracy.
Everyone, there are less than 24 hours to go in the Avaaz petition to block SOPA. As of now, there are 988,610 signatures. Senator Ron Wyden said he will filibuster or block any vote on the bill by reading out the petition names until the clock runs out!
And here's the new alternative bill, called OPEN:
Senator Ron Wyden is almost Google's employee. How much GOOG stock does he own? How long is an Eighth Circuit Appeal normally pending? This bill will be inconsequential after the FCC is ordered to begin regulation of "communications by wire" as clearly listed as duty of the Federal Communications Commission now being ignored.
The Copy[rite] Act will finally be ruled void for vagueness ETC and spur United States revising copy[rites] to protect the personal "rights" of artists to control creations as provided for in, -
Berne Protocol Article 6bis. An individual personal right that can't be sold or owned by corporations. This individual right expires 50 years after the artist dies according to international treaty signed by the BACKWARDS United States but stretched to 70 years as desired by various corporations WHO ARE NOT INDIVIDUALS but treated as "persons" here in the USA. Pending since September 19, 2011

PDF APPELLANT BRIEF (56 pages)

PDF APPELLEE BRIEF OF NAMEMEDIA INC (14 pages)
PDF APPELLANT REPLY BRIEF PDF (16 pages)Here's an update on SOPA:
This Thursday will be the opportunity to get rid of this bill. Don't forget that Ron Wyden will choose to do that filibuster if the bill does come up for a vote.
Good news: Lamar Smith has just recently narrowed the scope of the SOPA down considerably.
Sites that end with .com, .net, or .org are not in danger, and only foreign sites are in danger. And now, a judge would be required to take action when dealing with infringement sites.
PIPA and OPEN (the alternative bill to SOPA) should likewise reduce their scopes, as well, if they haven't already.
But right now, we still need to kill SOPA.
This bill does nothing to address the fact that the Federal Communication has responsibility to regulate ALL interstate and international wire communications. Simply put for those here who are not able to read the law it is The Communications Act where wire communications are defined EXACTLY as follows.
47 USC §153(52) Wire communication
The term "wire communication" or "communication by wire" means the transmission of writing, signs, signals, pictures, and sounds of all kinds by aid of wire, cable, or other like connection between the points of origin and reception of such transmission, including all instrumentalities, facilities, apparatus, and services (among other things, the receipt, forwarding, and delivery of communications) incidental to such transmission.
Internet wire communications should already be REGULATED by the FCC and I have asked the United States Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals to order this done.-
I've been reading your posts and I am sorry that you feel you have had your work stolen but this is NOT the way to go about it.
The way this is worded, any sight that the government decides they don't like or any corporation doesn't like can be shut down for little or no reason.
Consider this, someone goes over to your house and places a stolen item in your house. The said item is stolen, and they call the police and say that you have the stolen item. Without reading your rights, or even hearing your story, they arrest you and convinct you on the spot and put you in jail for stealing. You don't get a court date, you don't get an attorney, you just get thrown in jail.
That's what this bill is doing, among many other things.
Also, regulating internet wire communications is an infringment on a right. I don't want the FCC peeking into what I'm doing online. I'm not doing anything wrong, but you wouldn't want anyone going through your drawers in your house, would you?
"Also, regulating internet wire communications is an infring[e]ment on a right. I don't want the FCC peeking into what I'm doing online. I'm not doing anything wrong, but you wouldn't want anyone going through your drawers in your house, would you?"
Incorrect. accessing anything that is "obscene" already should require that you claim to be an adult. Claiming to be an adult WAIVES the expectation of a right to privacy. This was already ruled by the Supreme Court.
Even viewing artistic nudity will require assertion of being an adult and waiving privacy when my lawsuit against NameMedia Inc, Microsoft Corporation, Google Inc and the FCC inch towards resolving.
You completely ignored my argument about this bill. What does China using the internet have to do with this? You seem to be forgetting something. We're NOT China.
Also, China has terrible problems with hackers and viruses. Also, the Constitution has said that they can't go through our stuff unless they have a Search Warrent. I have worked in the legal field. I know how it goes.
If you want us to become like China so much, why don't you move there? And you're suing those companies. Good, don't expect the government to do it for you. What this bill is doing is allowing any picture, video, music, or even a text word to be censored and shut down an entire site. Saying the word Google and Microsoft, under this law, can make you a felon.
Again, it is sad that you have been burned, but why would you support something that will punish legit sites just to try to catch the bad ones? It's like imprisoning innocent ten people, just to convict one.
And yes, the amount of typoes I made in that sentance appauled me before anyone points it out. Sorry about that. It's what happens when I type too fast.

PDF APPELLANT REPLY BRIEF PDF (16 pgs)Nothing new magically became illegal. IP theft is made easier to stop.
The illegal actions done via a legit site makes the "legit" site a conspirator. Is that too hard to understand? IP theft is NOT robbing from the rich and giving to the poor or some other redeeming rational.FRAUD "Saying the word Google and Microsoft, under this law, can make you a felon." FRAUD
Why do you think a law worded in the days when the situation now was only science fiction should be applied now, and could possibly help anything?
We have tons of arcane federal laws that were never updated to reflect current reality, such as the one that says you can not use any "telecommunication device" to contact anyone anonymously that "annoys" them without being thrown in prison for two years, and fined huge amounts of money.
And you want another one?
Yes this portion of the law is ENFORCED AS WRITTEN.
Laws that have meanings that change are either modified or apply EXACTLY or are ignored like by FCC UNTIL accused of MALFEASANCE.Reply Brief PDF
From p. 12 of the PDF above.
3. The sweeping international impact of this case will, no doubt, require further consideration of the relevant issues but several factual issues will require trial. The Supreme Court will eventually be faced with requiring wire communications disguised as the Internet to be regulated by the FCC. This injunctive relief requested currently from the Eighth Circuit will, in fact, increase the Free Speech nature of wire communications as well as making wire communications more internationally accessible.List just one. And next time as a link please.
I always find the money trail informative in politics these days.
From a little known resource on this site,
I believe there is a far bigger picture that needs to be looked at here. There is a war brewing between the overwhelming majority of our people, and huge corporations, huge money, and those they purchased in our government so they can make even more money no matter the cost to the many.
We have seen countless laws, and countless interpretations of laws, and countless attempts on more laws, all taking away the rights of the majority of the American people to use their rights supposedly guaranteed under the first amendment of our constitution to speak their mind, since "terrorists" supposedly became the greatest threat in America, even though there is zero proof that the patriot act, or any of that has made us one bit safer according to the ACLU analysis.
We already are in a situation where about any person in "law enforcement" can give a "letter" to almost anyone else forcing them to expose everything they know about you with no due process.
Now they want to be able to throw us in jail for posting portions of articles from other sites, or videos online, to inform more people about things we feel are important, with no intention to make a dime off it?
This law will allow them to do that.
This law has nothing to do with protecting individual copyright holders (unless they are rich), no matter what the wording says, and everything to do with censorship.
Just try using any of our existing laws that are supposedly meant to protect the little guy to fight big money, or government. I have many times!
To be honest, I'm not going to worry too much about this bill passing. Why?
It has a lot of corporations backing it, but it would be political suicide for EVERYONE if it passed.
If it passes, hackers would have a field day. Guess who they will go for first? The people who signed this into law. Yes, China does have a DNS filter, but guess what? They have problems with hackers and viruses galore. These politicians need to wise up. Their careers will be done and over with if they sign this into law.
There are roughly 212,646,642 MORE users of the Internet in China than in the United States. They easily use the Internet more than any two countries on earth.
The SOPA bill was discharged from the subcommittee yesterday.
Has a political career ever ended because of ONE vote? The SOPA bill is largely irrelevant except to studios or corporations until the copy[rite] act is found unconstitutional since the 1976 vague 4-factor codification of "fair-use".
See USC 17 §107 -
No it wouldn't be political suicide if passed because if you actually read the bill and gain an understanding on what's going in then you would know that this bill is needed.
Wow, look at that, this bill is sponsored by Lamar Smith, the same guy who wrote up the Protecting Children from Internet Pornographers act and the same guy who is blocking the legalization of marijuana bill. Go figure, lol man this guy hates civil liberties.
Hey guys? One thing we all seem to be forgetting.
Obama has promised to strike down any bills that threaten net neutrality. This is an election year coming up. Obama will gain a ton of support AND VOTES if he blocks this thing.
Something tells me this bill has a veto in its future.
Europe is waiting with open arms to accept our fleeing technology sector and all the tech jobs will go with it.
How come Lamar Smith is working so hard to pass a Hollywood Liberal bill? I thought he was a Republican? Lamar Smith = Pro-Hollywood Liberal
That's the problem with folks like you, pal, you don't get it.

Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital Celebrates Milestone With "Topping Out" Ceremony
SANTA BARBARA – July 9, 2009
Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital and McCarthy Building Companies celebrated a milestone in the construction of the new hospital. One of the final structural steel beams for the new Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital was put in place as part of a "topping out" ceremony. The beam was signed by Cottage employees prior to a crane hoisting it onto the roof of what will be the Diagnostic & Treatment Center.
A brief program took place starting at noon and featured speeches from Ron Werft, Cottage Health System, president and CEO; and Steve Mynsberge, McCarthy Building Companies, executive vice president for healthcare services. The audience included Cottage representatives and more than 200 construction workers currently involved with the project.
"We are fortunate to be in partnership with McCarthy and proud to celebrate this important occasion," Mr. Werft said during his address. "The new hospital is designed to be a place of health and healing. A place where skilled medical professionals come together to provide a safe and secure environment to meet the healthcare needs of our entire region."

Daily OCD: 5/6-5/10/11 | |
Written by Mike Baehr | Filed under reviews, Prince Valiant, Peter Bagge, Moto Hagio, Mickey Mouse, manga, Leslie Stein, Joyce Farmer, Joe Sacco, Joe Daly, Hal Foster, Gilbert Hernandez, Gahan Wilson, Frank Santoro, Floyd Gottfredson, Disney, Daily OCD | 11 May 2011 12:59 AM |
Catching up on our Online Commentary & Diversions:
• Review: "...Fantagraphics Books' new Walt Disney's Mickey Mouse: "Race to Death Valley" contains all you need to know to revel in the very different, deeply pleasurable work of [Floyd] Gottfredson. Working with one of the most famous — and most anodyne — cartoon characters in the world, Gottfredson turned the grinning, goody-goody Mouse into a plucky, even reckless adventurer, his smile transformed from a people-pleasing smirk into a challenge to the world.... Gottfredson drew Mickey with a nosy snout and the bright eyes of an adrenalin junkie. The mouse's diminutive size inspired Gottfredson to have the character attempt daredevil races, leaping stunts, and develop a flurry-fisted fighting style.... This beautiful volume gives the Great Rodent his humanity." – Ken Tucker, Entertainment Weekly
• Review: "Fantagraphics does a very smart thing with [Walt Disney's Mickey Mouse Vol. 1], packing it full of historical materials to set the story for the comic strip. Having David Gerstein edit it is, of course, the smartest thing they could have done.... Simply put, it's the most extensive collection of 'extras' I've ever seen in one of these comic strip reprint series to date.... Reproductions are as great as you could ever hope for from material that's 80 years old and originally printed in the inkiest of newspapers you could imagine.... It's a kick to see this more interesting version of Mickey running around, saying and doing politically incorrect things. It's amazing to see how much detail an artist could pack into a small series of panels like this. But, most of all, it's a whole lot of fun." – Augie De Blieck Jr., Comic Book Resources
• Review: "This is, first of all, superb material.... Way back when, [Mickey Mouse] had a continuity and some darn good stories, illustrated with dynamic and expressive art. It was everything you could have wanted a newspaper strip to be, including being quite funny at times...and even suspenseful. The book itself is perfect and by that I mean I can't think of a single way it could have been improved. The reproduction is sharp. The editorial material fills you in nicely about the history of the strip, plus there are articles that discuss its merits and significance. The volume itself is handsome and will look good on your shelf." – Mark Evanier
• Plug: "You can download 19 pages from Fantagraphics' upcoming Walt Disney's Mickey Mouse Vol. 1: Race to Death Valley by Floyd Gottfredson now. I'm looking forward to this book, the first volume in a complete reprinting of Gottfredson's work on the Mouse." – Pop Culture Safari
• Plugs: Some great press mentions for our Walt Disney's Mickey Mouse Free Comic Book Day comic, including the AP's Matt Moore and Whitney Matheson of USA Today Pop Candy, who says "This is sort of what FCBD is about, isn't it? Fantagraphics presents Floyd Gottfredson's amazing old Mickey strips from 1935 that are still entertaining today. Perfect for all ages..." The Wright Opinion's Brendan Wright says "The line work is beautiful and fluid, with plenty of panels that are funny to look at without reading the words. Thorough as always with this type of project, Fantagraphics has provided both an intro by David Gerstein an an appreciation of Gottfredson by classic Disney animator and official Disney Legend Floyd Norman."
• Review: "For Isle of 100,000 Graves, the cartoonist Jason works with a writer, Fabien Vehlmann, for what is at least the first time in his strong North American publishing run. It's a fun collaboration over which to muse because it's hard to tell exactly what Vehlmann brings to the table. The writer has grasped onto Jason's use of deadpan humor and wistful character moments to an uncanny degree.... Because of this deliberate care in both building their personalities and working from them in terms of how they react to certain story moments, both leads come across as incredibly endearing. A story-ending plot twist almost gets lost in a by-that-point hilarious one-liner about the methods used in bringing it about." – Tom Spurgeon, The Comics Reporter
• Review: "Underground-influenced comics fall into certain patterns — idiosyncratic art, rambling tales of daily life, copious use of mood-altering substances — but [Leslie] Stein makes hers [Eye of the Majestic Creature] fresh with the addition of a talking guitar.... Stein's style is very readable, with sparse linework and a lead character that resembles a more tripped-out Little Orphan Annie, with huge blank buttons for eyes. Stein's settings and other characters show more detail, especially in the complex stippling, demonstrating her outward focus.... Her world is full, even if it's one that's a bit off-kilter..." – Publishers Weekly
• Review: "Peter Bagge continues the saga of Lisa and Buddy Bradley and their son Harold in Hate Annual #9.... Peter Bagge has always made you care for these characters no matter what crazy problems they had. He has this rare gift of getting his readers to empathize with the drawings on the page and realizing them as real people.... Bagge shows us a very human side to the characters he creates and mirrors life in a sometimes painful way.... As we live our lives, we can look at these pages and see a little bit of ourselves in the drawn panels. This is what makes this series, and all previous ones, stand the test of time and remain a great read. Rating: 8.5" – The Comic Book Critic
• Interview: The Daily Cross Hatch continues serializing the transcript of Brian Heater's MoCCA panel conversation with Peter Bagge: "I started drawing Buddy in 1980, when he was a member of The Bradleys. He was always 10 years younger than me. He started out as an adolescent — not always exactly 10 years. That's on purpose, because that 10 years gives me space. When you're going through a crisis or a rough time, it's not funny, but 10 years later, you can look at the whole situation more objectively and find the humor in it."
• Review: "[Joe Daly's] latest, award-winning, on-going project Dungeon Quest is a delightful combination of nerdy discipline and pharmaceutical excess... Happily marrying the sensibilities of post-grunge, teenaged waste-lads... with the meticulous and finicky obsessions of role-playing gamers and the raw thrill of primal myths, this captivating and wittily indulgent yarn is enchantingly rendered in solid, blocky friendly black and white and garnished with lashings of smart-ass attitude. Strength: vulgar. Intelligence: witty. Dexterity: compelling. Mana: absolutely. Status: unmissable." – Win Wiacek, Now Read This!
• Plug: Rehmat's World looks at Joe Sacco's Palestine
• Interview: The Daily Cross Hatch begins serializing another of Brian Heater's MoCCA panel conversations, this time with Gahan Wilson: "The people who do horror stories and grim stuff are remarkably sweet people.... It was very odd. Why are horror writers like this? And it suddenly occurred to me — of course, what horror writers are writing about is the vulnerability of themselves and their readers and everybody and how fragile everything is.... They're experts at being scared. If they weren't experts at being scared, they wouldn't write about being scared and scare other people."
• Interview: If you read Japanese, enjoy excerpts from a conversation between Moto Hagio and her colleague Ryoko Yamagishi from Otome Continue Vol. 6 presented at Poco Poco
• Feature: All this week, the "Cartoonist's Diary" column at The Comics Journal is written by Joyce Farmer
• Feature: Eye of the Majestic Creature creator Leslie Stein is the guest contributor in the latest installment of "What Are You Reading?" at Robot 6. Among her picks: Yeah! by Peter Bagge & Gilbert Hernandez: "Gilbert's illustrations are excellent and Bagge's writing is funny, as per usual."

Sea-Doo Updates the Speedster 200 with More Power
By Capt. Bob Smith
When I saw the Sea-Doo Speedster 200 moving around the bend at the marina, I thought I was in for a thrilling test of a very quick boat, and I was not the least bit disappointed. Bombardier now powers these sportboats with the powerful and efficient Rotax-4-TEC 3-cylinder engines. Our Speedster 200 came equipped with the 430-hp engines, but Sea-Doo also offers at 310-hp power package for the thrilling ride today's generation demand.
Up front, the bow has seating for three or more with grab handles within easy reach. Seat bottoms lift up to reveal storage compartments that can double as coolers for all the refreshments you will need during an active day on the water. Sea-Doo provides ample storage space throughout this model; in addition to the storage below the seats, there is another space in the sharply angled nose that is large enough for a bunch of life jackets as well as line and an anchor.
Companion Pod
The helm and companion pod resemble a jet fighter's cockpit. These pods are designed for low wind drag and feature small windshields with pop-up air dams to deflect the air from the rider. The pull handle, that releases the sun pad/engine hatch with superior ease, is conveniently situated within the companion storage compartment. On front of this compartment is a 12 volt connector for powering an MP3 player or cell phone, a Clarion AM/FM CD player, as well as a deep and dry glove box. Next to the adjustable bucket seat is a grab safety handle and a speaker.
Helm Station
The top of the helm station lifts to reveal a small insulated box which can be used as an ice chest and it can be removed to access the back side of the instruments when adding to your console. The instrument cluster is ergonomically arranged for easy view when underway complete with black faces and white lettering. The throttle and shifter on the Speedster 200 are performance style with separate throttles for each engine giving great control and Sea-Doo's exclusive One-touch Inlet Clearance switch saves you from having to clear out seaweed and other debris from the back of the boat. Behind the helm seat is another set of drinkholders, grab handles and a step-up on the side for safely reaching a pier or dock.
The sun pad on this model pops up with the aforementioned release handle located in the companion pod. The rear storage compartment with gull-wing openings allows quick and easy access to life jackets and ski lines.

Specifics and Performance
The Speedster 200 is 19'9" length overall with a beam width of 8'0. She weighs 2,770 lbs making it easy to tow behind most family vehicles. With her 40 gallon fuel capacity she will entertain all day.
We tested on the salt waters around Sebastian, FL on a blustery day. The Speedster 200 proved an agile performer that was fast out of the hole in just 2.5 seconds and passed 30mph in 3.9 seconds-
numbers like these are sure to make the skier in your group very happy. She cruised best at 5000rpm doing 29.2mph. At cruise you can expect about 90 miles on a full tank. The Speedster 200 reached a top speed of 58.7 mph.
If speed, good looks, and performance are critical factors in your decision, the Speedster 200 from Sea-Doo delivers all with flare.

I love making New Year's resolutions. I hate trying to keep them. I will lose weight. I think that sounds exceptionally good, as I absent-mindedly reach for another piece of peanut brittle. Who cares about weight anyway? I don't need to worry about my appearance since I am already married. (Don't worry, my wife never reads what I write.) Besides, being overweight during the winter time just adds more insulation from the cold. Here in the middle of Western South Dakota, I will be needing every ounce that I can get.

The 2012 season MotoGP sees 250ccm four-stroke motorcycles competing in the new Moto3 to replace the former two-stroke machines of the 125ccm class – this also heralds KTM's return to the World Motorcycle Championship. All riders competing on the KTM-driven machines this season were on the Valencia (Spain) circuit last Monday and Tuesday for the first tests.
A total of nine motorcycles have been equipped with the KTM 250 cecum M32 engine for this season. Five of these are for KTM's own Moto3 bike, which has been completely developed and constructed in the Mattighofen (Austria) factory. The other four Moto3 bikes are those of KTM partner and chassis specialist KALEX Engineering. These bikes, constructed in Bobingen, Germany will compete under the name KALEX-KTM.
Germany's Sandro Cortese, Danny Kent of Britain and Australian Arthur Sissis will ride three of the KTM motorcycles for the "Red Bull KTM Ajo" team. Zulfahmi Khairuddin (Malaysia) in the "Airasia -SIC-Ajo" team and Niklas Ajo (Finland) of "TT Motions Event Racing" are the other two KTM riders. Seventeen mechanics from Finnish team boss Aki Ajo constructed the five bikes in KTM's Racing Department in the last week in January. Ajo is the father of the rider with the same name.
The four KALEX-KTM bikes have been developed and constructed by a small five-man team led by Klaus Hirsekorn and Alex Baumgärtel at KALEX Engineering in Germany's Bavaria. KTM delivered the engines to the former Opel German Touring Car Development Center, which has also developed the Moto2 World Championship bike for Stefan Bradl as well as manufacturing parts for Formula 1 and other products. The motorcycles then left the Bobingen production plant and were delivered straight to the two teams that will race them in 2012. Spanish riders Alberto Moncayo and Hector Faubel are in the "Aspar Team Moto3" headed by team boss Jorge Martinez while Luis Salom of Spain and South African Brad Binder are competing for the "RW Racing GP" team.
All nine KTM Moto3 riders were able to test in near ideal conditions on the Valencia circuit, putting in a substantial number of laps in order to provide good feedback for the teams.
Pit Beirer (KTM Motorsport Manager): "The tests in Valencia were probably the most important days so far for us in our Moto3 project. We have been working very hard over the past two months to transform the prototype into a race bike and preparing the engines for all nine bikes. Now in Valencia we had good lap times and we were able to collect a lot of very useful data. This gives us the right basis for further improvement."
Aki Ajo (Red Bull KTM Ajo Team Manager): "I am feeling quite positive although at this stage it is normal not to expect too much. While some of the riders have tried out the prototype, this was the first time with the finished bike. The riders like the Moto3 class and the construction of the bike. I was quite surprised at how well it went and we really didn't have any problems. Next week after when we have the test in Valencia with the rest of the Moto3 riders we will know much more."
Alex Baumgärtel (Constructor of the KALEX-KTM): "All riders did well and put in some good laps. We had very good support from KTM and our riders had a good feeling on the bike and with the engine so we are pretty happy. We had no technical problems and the cooperation with KTM is working very well so now we can start to prepare for next week's tests."
The Moto3 riders return next week along with the Moto2 field for the Official IRTA test at the Circuit de la Comunitat Valenciana Ricardo Tormo, from the 8th to the 10th of February.
Unofficial lap times Valencia test (recorded by teams):
Day 1
1. Luis Salom (E), KALEX-KTM, 1'43.2 (32 laps)
2. Alberto Moncayo (E), KALEX-KTM, 1'43.3 (52 laps)

An overview description for a series of interconnected comic books drawn and written by artist Jack Kirby, after leaving Marvel Comics in the 1970's due to his frustration with Marvel management; the books dealt with science fiction and mythological themes; the books were entitled, THE NEW GODS, FOREVER PEOPLE, and MISTER MIRACLE. None of the characters could be described as the sort of conventional 'superheroes' that Kirby and others had created in the past, but the books revolved around the idea of what could be called 'demi-gods', some good, others evil, but technologically and physically advanced over humans - the books dealt with the interaction between the 'good' gods of NEW GENESIS and the 'evil' ones of APOKOLIPS and their eventual contact with earth.
You will find opinions among Jack Kirby fans equally divided about the Fourth World books he did; but the themes are found in works like: Fantastic Four, Chariots of the Gods, The Day The Earth Stood Still, Childhoods' End, More Than Human, Eternals, Forbidden Planet, Dr.Who? .. and too many more to list ..

Well, if it's Storm in the future Halle Barry would work. I mean Storm in the future is supposed to be old. Not saying that Halle is old but Zoe definitely isn't.
In a recent interview with MTV News, director Bryan Singer teased fans with an all CGI Character as well as the possibility of Storm (Halle Berry) returning to the franchise. When pressed for information on which character would be all CGI Singer had this to say.
"A CG Nick Hoult or a CG Ewan McGregor, maybe 20 years from now might be perfect, but it's a little tough on the eyes when it's not real. I definitely want to use this technology again, and I might even be using some of it in a different way in X-Men. I don't want to say how, yet, but I'm definitely using some of this technology on X-Men, which I never used in any of the other X-Men films."
Te one thing I don't understand is why the want or need for Halle Berry to return as Storm? Singer had this to say to MTV News about whether or not we will see Storm.
"I can't say [whether Storm will be in the film]. I don't know yet. And it's not necessarily a deal making aspect at all. I want to make sure it'll make sense. But I love working with her."
Personally, I would rather see the likes of Zoe Saldana as the new Storm with more of the punk look. What do you think Maniacs? Storm in the new film or not?
X-Men: Days of Future Past has a release date of July 18th, 2014.
Well, if it's Storm in the future Halle Barry would work. I mean Storm in the future is supposed to be old. Not saying that Halle is old but Zoe definitely isn't.
Wasn't the Punk Look the AoA Storm? I'm sure I have that wrong though.
Don't need Halle back. She's expensive and I'd rather see that money go towards the production. Just recast her if she's needed for the story. Halle was one of my least favorite parts of all 3 first X films.
Personally Naomie Harris would be the perfect fit. She's got a natural accent that lends to the international appeal and creditentails to the X-Men. Versus and american actor. She British, typically everyone from UK that's black either come from African/Island heritage. So adds to Storm's depth. I just hope Singer & Co. take ques from Avengers on whatever they decide versus doing what the did with the last 3 films and Wolverine and dont give a frak about continuity of fans attachment to characters.
If you're bringing in a future, more mature, and stronger version of Storm, go talk to Angela Bassett.
That's who should have been Storm to begin with.
Although not a big HB fan if they're bringing the old cast back it would seem out of place just to replace her. Of course if money is an issue then you could just omit the character all together
An all CGI Dark Phoenix. Leather and everything... That's one of my greatest disappointments in X-Men 3. Didn't get to see Famke in the Phoenix leathers with studs.
People have their complaints about Halle's Storm but seeing that nearly all the old and new cast will be back I really want her there. I have to hear her ask the question "Do you know what happens to a Sentinel when it's struck by lightning?"
Just kill off her character in the first 10 minutes. Naomi Harris would be great though.
Either Zoe Saldana lies about her age or she has endured a lifetime of drug abuse. I have seen her in person and she looks terrible!
don't really give a fuck, who or what!!! at this point it can't get worse than how it started and ended..

car2go world first: dedicated car sharing vehicles straight from the factory
Article Summary
Last year in the German city of Ulm, Daimler started up an experimental car-sharing system called car2go. It incorporated a fleet of 50 smart fortwos, that users could pick up in various locations, drive as long as they wanted, and then leave within the city. Ulm's program is now up to 20,000 members and 200 cars, while a younger sister project in Austin, Texas, is up to 10,000 members. Given that success, Daimler has just announced a new "car2go edition" of the fortwo, designed specifically for use in the program. We got a look, at the 2010 Paris Motor Show.

- Kevin Bacon ('Ren McCormack')
Kevin Bacon: Bacon's film debut was as a snotty freshman in 1978's 'Animal House,' but he didn't really get noticed until he played reckless rich kid Fenwick in 'Diner' (1982). That led to his lead role in 'Footloose' as Ren McCormick, the big-city teen who persuades a Bible Belt town to kick off its Sunday shoes and lift a ban on dancing. Since then, Bacon's never been far from the spotlight. In the past 30 years, he's made more than 50 big-screen features -- notably, 'A Few Good Men,' 'Murder in the First,' 'Apollo 13,' 'Wild Things,' 'Mystic River,' 'The Woodsman,' and 2011's 'X-Men: First Class,' in which he played mutant supervillain Sebastian Shaw. He's also made a handful of TV movies, including 'Lemon Sky' (where he met Kyra Sedgwick, his wife since 1988) and 'Taking Chance.' Of late, he can be seen starring in the hit TV series 'The Following.' He's been so ubiquitous that he inspired the trivia game Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon, based on the notion that he's worked with seemingly everyone in film and in every genre of movies. One thing the 53-year-old hasn't done much of on screen since 'Footloose' is dance, though he demonstrated in a 2002 episode of 'Will & Grace' (guest-starring as himself) that he still knows Ren's moves.
- Lori Singer ('Ariel Moore')
- Lori Singer ('Ariel Moore')
Lori Singer: Before she landed the role of rebellious Ariel, Singer was a Juilliard-trained cellist best known for her role as cello student Julie Miller on TV's 'Fame.' 'Footloose' would prove to be the peak of her career. Though a couple of mainstream movies followed ('The Falcon and the Snowman,' 'The Man With One Red Shoe'), Singer soon found herself co-starring in little-seen indie movies. Arguably, her biggest role of the last quarter century was in the ensemble of Robert Altman's sprawling 'Short Cuts' (1993, co-starring fellow "Footloose' hoofer Chris Penn), in which she played a suicidal cellist -- a role Altman created with her in mind. Over the last 15 years or so, she seems to have spent more time on her classical music career and raising a family than on acting. In the spring of 2011, the 53-year-old resurfaced in a guest spot on TV's 'Law & Order: SVU,' playing the mother of a kidnapped child. In a 2010 interview, Singer said she didn't mind being identified primarily with 'Footloose.' "I'm proud to be that rebel forever," she said. "It reminds me to carry that spirit with me."
- Chris Penn ('Willard Hewitt')
- Chris Penn ('Willard Hewitt')
Chris Penn: Chris Penn grew up in show business as the son of director Leo Penn and actress Eileen Ryan and the brother of actor Sean Penn and singer Michael Penn. After appearing in small roles in such acclaimed films as 'Rumble Fish' and 'All the Right Moves,' the 17-year-old landed the plum role of 'Footloose's Willard, the farmboy who befriends Ren and becomes his first dance pupil. Penn followed 'Footloose' with a lead role in teen comedy 'The Wild Life,' but his burly physique made him a popular character actor in tough guy roles, notably, in 'Pale Rider' (opposite Clint Eastwood), 'At Close Range' (his only film with brother Sean), 'Best of the Best' (where he made use of his black-belt karate skills), 'Reservoir Dogs,' 'True Romance,' 'Short Cuts' (in an ensemble cast that included 'Footloose' co-star Lori Singer), 'Mulholland Falls,' and 'Rush Hour.' His final film was 'The Darwin Awards,' which premiered at the 2006 Sundance Film Festival one day after Penn was found dead in his apartment. The 40-year-old had long struggled with drug use, obesity and heart disease, which was ruled the official cause of his death. In the 22 years following 'Footloose,' he'd scarcely gotten a chance to dance again, save in Jay-Z's 1998 video for 'Can I Get a...', in which he played a dancing bartender.
- John Lithgow ('Reverend Shaw Moore') and Dianne Wiest ('Vi Moore')
- John Lithgow ('Reverend Shaw Moore')
John Lithgow: John Lithgow was already a Tony-winning Broadway actor (for 1973's 'The Changing Room') and a two-time Academy Award nominee (for his roles in 'The World According to Garp' and 'Terms of Endearment') when he was cast in 'Footloose' as Rev. Shaw Moore, father to wild child Ariel and the religious leader behind his small town's ban on dancing. Playing his wife Vi was Dianne Wiest, with whom he'd co-starred on stage in Christopher Durang's 'Beyond Therapy.' After 'Footloose,' Lithgow became a frequent movie villain in such films as 'Raising Cain,' 'Ricochet,' 'Cliffhanger,' Broadway's 'The Sweet Smell of Success' (for which he won his second Tony in 2002) and TV's 'Dexter,' where he won an Emmy for playing the Trinity Killer in 2009. But Lithgow also has a comic, even goofy side that he showed most famously as pompous alien Dick Solomon on long-running sitcom '3rd Rock From the Sun') but also in movies ('Buckaroo Banzai,' 'Harry and the Hendersons,' 'Shrek'), on stage (his Tony-nominated performance in 'Dirty Rotten Scoundrels') and the many books and records he's made for children. Lithgow has been married twice, to Jean Taynton (1966 to 1980) and to Mary Yeager (since 1981). One of the 68-year-old actor's most recent movie roles was as James Franco's Alzheimer's-afflicted father in 2011's 'Rise of the Planet of the Apes.'
- Dianne Wiest ('Vi Moore')
Dianne Wiest: In the early 1980s, Dianne Wiest was a veteran stage actress who had co-starred with James Earl Jones in 'Othello' and John Lithgow in Christopher Durang's comedy 'Beyond Therapy.' Her first big break onscreen was 'Footloose,' where she played Vi Moore, the wise and compassionate wife of the preacher played by her former stage co-star Lithgow. After 'Footloose,' Wiest specialized in playing put-upon moms trying to maintain an air of cheerfulness in such movies as 'The Lost Boys,' 'Parenthood' (for which she earned an Oscar nomination), 'Edward Scissorhands,' 'The Birdcage' and 'Rabbit Hole.' She played against type in the five movies she did with Woody Allen, winning Best Supporting Actress Oscars for two of them, playing a scattered caterer-turned-playwright in 'Hannah and Her Sisters' (1986) and a grand stage diva in 'Bullets Over Broadway' (1994). On TV, Wiest has won two Emmys, for guest-starring on 'Road to Avonlea' (1989) and for her supporting role as Gabriel Byrne's therapist on 'In Treatment' (2008). Off-screen, Wiest had a longterm relationship with legendary talent agent Sam Cohn, who died in 2009. She has never married but adopted two daughters, now grown. The 65-year-old actress reunited with 'Parenthood' co-star Steve Martin in the movie 'The Big Year,' released on the same day as the new 'Footloose' in 2011.
- Sarah Jessica Parker ('Rusty')
- Sarah Jessica Parker ('Rusty')
Sarah Jessica Parker: As a young Broadway and TV actress best known for co-starring in the short-lived junior-high sitcom 'Square Pegs,' Sarah Jessica Parker got her first big break in movies as 'Footloose's fun-loving Rusty. (She and Chris Penn, six months her junior, were the only ones among the movie's four teenage leads who were actually still teenagers.) Still, her film career didn't really take off until her flashy comic supporting turn in 1991's 'L.A. Story.' She starred in romantic comedies throughout the '90s (including 'Honeymoon in Vegas' and 'Miami Rhapsody'), only to gain even greater fame on TV as the star of 'Sex and the City,' which ran for six years and then made a hugely successful transition into a movie franchise in 2008. Today at 48, Parker (who married fellow 1980s teen star Matthew Broderick in 1997) is as popular as ever, whether as a style icon and pitchwoman or as a Broadway and film actress. Her characters of late have been variations on 'Sex's' Carrie Bradshaw, including her starring role in September 2011's 'I Don't Know How She Does It.'
- Kenny Loggins (Songwriter)
- Kenny Loggins (Songwriter)
Kenny Loggins: Throughout the '80s, the former Loggins & Messina folkie was a one-man soundtrack factory, cranking out hit pop tunes for such smashes as 'Caddyshack' and 'Top Gun.' Most memorable of all was his theme song to 'Footloose,' which he co-wrote with Dean Pitchford, and which earned him an Oscar nomination. He and Pitchford also co-wrote another song for the movie, 'I'm Free (Heaven Help the Man),' which Loggins performed. In recent decades, as the 66-year-old has become a staple on the oldies concert circuit (including a 2005 reunion tour with Jim Messina), 'Footloose' probably remains his most popular tune and the only one to have spent several weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard singles chart. He's been married twice, to Eva Ein (from 1978 to 1990) and to colon specialist Julia Cooper (from 1992 to 2004). These days, Loggins records with country trio Blue Sky Riders, with whom he also made some (NSFW) Funny or Die videos spoofing his '80s soundtrack career. In January, 2013, the trio released their debut album, 'Finally Home.' At the Hollywood premiere for the new 'Footloose,' Loggins offered lukewarm praise for Blake Shelton's cover of the song and continued to marvel at the original film's success. "We figured it would be lucky if it got any attention at all," he said.
- Dean Pitchford (Screenwriter, Songwriter)
- Dean Pitchford (Screenwriter, Songwriter)
Dean Pitchford: In 1979, Dean Pitchford, then a Broadway and cabaret songwriter best known for his collaborations with Peter Allen, read a news article about Elmore City, an Oklahoma town that had just ended an 80-year ban on dancing. The story inspired Pitchford to write the screenplay that would become 'Footloose' five years later. In the meantime, his work with songwriter Michael Gore on the 1980 film 'Fame' (they co-wrote three of its tunes) led to a Best Song Oscar for the movie's theme song. That and the Grammy recognition for his pop songwriting gave him the clout to make 'Footloose,' for which he also co-wrote all nine of the songs. The 'Footloose' soundtrack would go on to sell 17 million copies, spawn six hit singles and rule the Billboard album chart for 10 weeks. The title track and 'Let's Hear It for the Boy' would earn Pitchford two more Oscar nominations. In the years that followed, Pitchford would enjoy continued success as a pop songwriter and earn one more Oscar nomination (for the song 'After All,' from 1989's 'Chances Are'). As with 'Footloose,' he wrote the screenplay and all the songs for the film 'Sing,' but the movie went nowhere. Same with his re-teaming with Gore on the Broadway musical 'Carrie,' a legendary flop. For years, Pitchford struggled to bring 'Footloose' to Broadway (he and 'Let's Hear It...' co-composer Tom Snow wrote nine more songs for the stage version), an effort that finally paid off in 1988. The show ran for two years in New York and spent the next decade touring the globe. In 2007, Pitchford embarked on a new career as a children's author, writing the novels 'The Big 1-0' and 'Captain Nobody.' In 2013, the 62-year-old published his third novel, 'Nickel Bay Nick.'
- Herbert Ross (Director)
Herbert Ross: Before 'Footloose,' Herbert Ross already had a reputation as a director who specialized in Broadway adaptations (especially from Neil Simon plays), musicals and dance-oriented films. A former Broadway choreographer who had been creating dance sequences for movies since 1954's 'Carmen Jones,' Ross had directed such dance-driven pictures as 'Goodbye, Mr. Chips,' 'Funny Lady,' 'The Turning Point' (for which he earned his sole Best Director Oscar nomination), 'Nijinsky' and 'Pennies From Heaven.' He was in his mid-50s when he made 'Footloose,' but he had no trouble adapting to a youthful cast, a pop soundtrack and MTV music video-ready montage sequences. After 'Footloose's success, he made eight more movies, including the hits 'The Secret of My Success' and 'Steel Magnolias.' The last of the 25 movies he directed was 1995's 'Boys on the Side.' He was married for nearly 30 years to ballerina Nora Kaye, who died in 1987. The following year, he married Lee Radziwill (Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis' sister); they remained together until shortly before his death in 2001 at age 74.

Helpful Definition for: Convenience Stores
A convenience store or corner shop in Fontanelle is a small store or shop in a built up area that stocks a range of everyday items such as groceries, toiletries, alcoholic and soft drinks, and may also offer money order and wire transfer services. They differ from general stores and village shops in that they are not in a rural location, and are used as a convenient supplement to the main shopping rather than being the main store. A convenience store may form part of gas/petrol stations. They may be located alongside busy roads, in urban areas, or near railway stations or other transportation hubs. They may have long shopping hours, some being open 24 hours.

Of course.
It supports less functionality.
Phoronix: The X API Is About 15 Times Bigger Than Wayland
For those curious about the size of the X11 API in relation to Wayland, it's about fifteen times bigger...
Of course.
It supports less functionality.
This article is a bit misleading.
There's probably a good argument to be made that Wayland can be(going forward) smaller and leaner than X is including the same features, or even adding in new features. But we aren't there yet.
Right now, it's simply a matter of Wayland does less, so it's smaller. X does more, so it's bigger.
How big is Xwayland, anyways?(I would assume it's not very large, but that misses the point) Wayland doesn't have the backward compatibility layer, its X which has the 'forward compatibility' layer, so to say. So by definition, X would have to be bigger.
Nor has it encountered the real world, yet. Right now it's a "battle plan", and battle plans seldom survive encounter with the enemy. That's not to say that it's not worthwhile, and can be an improvement over X. It's just that a year or two down the road, Wayland will have its ugly warts and bits of bloat, though it will no doubt still be smaller than X.
PART of Wayland being smaller is that while yes it has less features, it also has less things it has to support.
Straight from the Wayland FAQ:
What is wrong with X?
The problem with X is that... it's X. When you're an X server there's a tremendous amount of functionality that you must support to claim to speak the X protocol, yet nobody will ever use this. For example, core fonts; this is the original font model that was how your got text on the screen for the many first years of X11. This includes code tables, glyph rasterization and caching, XLFDs (seriously, XLFDs!). Also, the entire core rendering API that lets you draw stippled lines, polygons, wide arcs and many more state-of-the-1980s style graphics primitives. For many things we've been able to keep the X.org server modern by adding extensions such as XRandR, XRender and COMPOSITE and to some extent phase out less useful extensions. But we can't ever get rid of the core rendering API and much other complexity that is rarely used in a modern desktop. With Wayland we can move the X server and all its legacy technology to a optional code path. Getting to a point where the X server is a compatibility option instead of the core rendering system will take a while, but we'll never get there if don't plan for it.
135 entry points doesn't mean much, what if one of them is like ioctl(2)
Simply because Wayland lacks some features compared to X does not in any way imply that it has less features. Instead I would say that Wayland has more features than X due to it having exactly the capabilities which X lacks. The sections of X that will not be implemented in Wayland should be counted as a positive feature of Wayland.

wrong, wayland protocol support most of the actually used features of Xorg already and it has some that are not possible with X11 protocol without a barbaric amount of hacks[like fps accurate animations].
about missing features in 1.0 protocol will be network rendering but i agree this support should move client side, after all Kde/Qt --Gnome/GTK[etc] know better than anyone how they specific render code works
for example:
* Kde can reuse the local icons theme if present[or ask the user to install it] so it doesn't have to send images just pix identifiers to instruct the target wayland/kde to use those in your HDD* another example could be Qt/gtk introducing a meta renderer plugin that just instruct the remote Qt/wayland draw a Qcombobox with this properties at this position using X font, etc. so the actual local QT/gtk in the remote host do the rendering making the bandwith use extremely fast/easy to compress and encrypt, in fact this can allow you to use remote apps as any of your local apps, without worry about resolution or any other setting in your origin desktop/server,etc (many possibilities left to think about )
about both project size, wayland will always be smaller than X11 since wayland is not a renderer, wayland is just a police that route commands to KMS/DRM/DRI/EGL/OPENGL/MESA/EVDEV/V4L/Overlays[<-- those one do the actual rendering] in a standard way so everyone can be on the same page.
weston is just an example toy of how to do composite using wayland protocol instead of X11 that will make life easier for desktops devs to make the transition and well is a test client that wayland devs use to put some pressure in their code and iron bugs/errors
Hopefully Wayland will have over 2,000 by 2.0, and beat xorg!!!

You hit a sore spot with that! I lived near a US hwy just outside a city limits for most of my life and can't remember how many dumped pets found their way to my door. If we didn't keep them we took them to the animal shelter and made a donation. I'll quit before I say all the ugly things I'm thinking about people who throw away animals. Thanks for bringing this up!

Wouldn't it be great if we could track down the "dumpers" and drop them off in some foreign location with no ability to return home or find their way to civilization? It would seem fitting to me and I'd have no problem watching it happen.

Went dove hunting yesterday and while driving 1 mile stretch of country road between two of our sections I notice a red Nissan sitting sideways in the road.
When I get close I see the lady running to her pickup and then hauling tail out of there. Then out of the brush comes running a dog with a tennis ball in his mouth. That dog chased after that pickup for about 3/4 of a mile until I could no longer see them.
