Read MoreNetflix broke through some heavy French telecom resistance today as it debuted its video-on-demand service in six more European countries. One of France's major telecom companies, Bouygues, announced that it would integrate Netflix in its TV set-top boxes starting in November, according to the Nasdaq news. Bouyges' move is just the news Netflix wants to hear because its video-on-demand service counts on reliable broadband pipelines, and the set-top boxes are how French TV viewers access their programming. France's largest telecom company, Orange SA, has also signaled it would consider offering Netflix if the service is successful, according to the Nasdaq report. This last-minute breakthrough comes amid reports last week that European countries didn't have the bandwidth to handle Netflix, an assertion flatly denied by a company spokesperson. Just to be safe, Netflix is increasing its server capacity in Paris. The pieces appear to be coming together from a technical standpoint, but when it comes to content, there is ample French pushback
Read MoreWhen the NFL negotiated with TV networks on the rights to broadcast eight "Thursday Night Football" games this season, the contract stipulated that term was only for one year, that games would air simultaneously on the league's own NFL Network and that the winning bidder would cover all production costs on all sixteen "Thursday Night Football" broadcasts (including two Saturday games). "Media companies lined up to bid anyway," The Wall Street Journal reported. CBS ultimately prevailed, agreeing to pay $300 million for the broadcast rights, with the first game in the new lineup premiering next week (tonight's season opener is being broadcast by NBC as part of an earlier agreement). The negotiation and what CBS paid illustrate the extreme leverage the NFL wields with networks. NBC, CBS and ESPN together have contracts that make up between $5 and $5 billion per year to broadcast NFL games through the 2021-22 season. "It's almost like the networks are afraid to say no to the NFL," one senior executive told The Wall Street Journal. Anyone in a traditional TV exec's shoes would be. While networks face threats like the rise of streaming video services, the NFL offers a bankable product that consumers won't just wait to catch on Netflix. According to securities firm Jefferies Group, 97 percent of all sports are watched live. Add to that the NFL's short season and 17.4 million average regular season game viewers in the 18-49 demo and each game becomes a hot ticket. At the same time, the NFL is amping up its digital push by offering new or expanded online programs. This includes NFL Now, a new online video service offering NFL-made films, shows, documentaries and new footage from teams for $1.99 per month. The NFL also is strengthening a one-year agreement with Twitter to tweet highlights from in-progress games and increasing the number of games streamed to smart phones as part of a four-year, $1 billion agreement with Verizon. As The Wall Street Journal notes, both of these deals include rights denied of the NFL's television broadcast partners. What's more, some television executives fear that NFL Now will stream games directly to fans. Brian Rolapp, evp of media for the NFL, doesn't rule out such a possibility. "If the world shifts dramatically as people think, it'll be nice to have an asset like NFL Now just like it's nice to have NFL Network," he told the Journal, adding that "selling game-streaming rights to an online company is a matter of 'when, not if.'" DirecTV also finds itself backed against a wall in negotiations with the NFL.
Read MoreABC has hired Mike Dean as its new vp, programmatic and data-driven sales, The Wall Street Journal reports . Dean joins the Disney-owned network from ad tech firm Videology, where he was vp, media platform sales and solutions. Before Videology, Dean served as director, publisher services at Vibrant Media and business development manager - Bing for Microsoft. "Mike has a wealth of experience in digital and new media sales," said Pooja Midha, senior vice president of digital ad sales, in a statement. "We are very happy that he will lead the ABC sales team as we continue to lead the way in finding innovative solutions for all of our clients." The move comes following ABC's announcment at its upfront in May that it will be teaming up with video ad firm FreeWheel in launching a programmatic video effort. That move was seen largely as a reaction to Comcast's purchase of FreeWheel, which, according to The Wall Street Journal, caused media executives to voice "concerns privately that Comcast...is gaining too much clout in the growing digital TV business."
Read MoreEven with Kevin Reilly out at the News Corp broadcaster and ratings declines from an aging American Idol, Fox has managed to score a serious deal: GroupM, arguably the biggest media agency network, is buying C7 guarantees. GroupM didn't respond immediately to requests for comment, but one of the networks is said to be dangling a 3 percent pricing discount in front of agencies that will agree to C7 guarantees. It hasn't even been that long since the networks started selling C3—the shift to C7 is something buyers have long resisted, given the length of time it takes to process the data and the need for immediate returns on ads such as movie trailers. With C7 guarantees, you may see that your ad was delivered, but if your ad was delivered on unskippable VOD on Tuesday and your movie opened on Friday, it's probably not a great feeling to shell out cash for that delivery. And GroupM does represent Paramount Pictures among many, many other big-name clients including Unilever and AT&T.

It's a gamble (and probably not a gamble the media agency is taking on all of its clients), but it's one head buyer Rino Scanzoni has said he's comfortable with as recently as three weeks ago. "It all comes down to economics," Scanzoni told the Wall Street Journal . "Clients are obviously getting that audience when people play back their programs post-three days; if they're not fast-forwarding the commercials, that exposure exists. Ultimately I do see the business going onto a C7 metric because as we try to drive the business to a cross-platform metric, you probably need a longer time frame than the C3 window to optimize that. We will eventually be going there. It's a matter of working out the economics initially to make the transition one that's acceptable to both sides." So let the message go forth: The economics are acceptable at the moment
Read MoreMy Nickelodeon Jr. is set to launch on Verizon in the coming months—and presumably on other systems soon thereafter—but there's one thing you won't be seeing on the network at launch: advertisements. The network is a hybrid digital/linear offering that will sit next to toddler-focused Nick Jr. on the Verizon dial, but won't feature that net's sponsor support (Nick Jr. doesn't have interstitial ads, but it does run sponsored spots aimed at parents between shows). Programming will be Nick library content, at least initially. The new network will be programmable, along seven pre-made tracks with names like "super-sonic science" and "get creative," according to The Wall Street Journal , which broke the news this morning. Viacom tested the channel in France last year, where it said results were encouraging. Interestingly, within the WSJ article is one of the few times a Viacom exec has admitted that part of the precipitous viewer decline at Nick a few years ago (from which it has in large part recovered) may have been its own strategy of selling content to over-the-top distributors like Netflix. "You haven't seen that cannibalization effect" president and chief exec of Viacom International Bob Bakish told the Journal. And a Viacom source tells Adweek that Nick hasn't ruled out the possibility of ad support just yet. It's getting less difficult to monetize digital content with traditional ratings measurements—Nielsen's DPR ratings product, which tracks mobile and digital viewership and ad delivery, launches this year, and the blended CPM programmers have been pushing in lieu of a real ratings metric may finally get pushed aside by something a little less jury-rigged. For parents, the new network is certainly a boon: it's an easy way to control not just the kid-friendliness but the specific content types your kid has access to on television. It's an interesting shot across Netflix's bow at a time when the streaming VOD provider is looking more threatening to kids' networks—the company's animated feature film spinoff, Turbo: FAST, premiered just three weeks ago, and it's bought a slew of kid and tween programming in recent months.

I'm a mom, artist and Realtor Broker. I've lived on almost every island of Hawaii and spent 15 years in the film industry in Hollywood and Venice Beach.
I've lived in London and always wanted to travel the world starting with Europe but am currently sidetracked with a love affair with Thailand.
My husband is a drummer/Construction Engineer who loves car racing and tennis. We have the two cutest baby boys in the world.
Krish has completed online and offline ID verification.
Everything in the house was exactly as expected and it was a wonderful place to spend our vacation. If we return to Volcano, we will definitely stay in our "Hawaii Home" as my daughter calls it.
We arrived a little early to drop our bags off and Krish happened to be there and was very welcoming. She gave Greg a quick tour of the house and said they would put our bags inside when done cleaning. We loved the location of the house and everything was very homey and comfortable. We used the hot tub in the evening and then a few of us used it again in the morning before we left. It was so relaxing! We loved it and will definitely recommend it to family and friends. Mahalo! Diana and Greg
This house was one of the nicest houses I've stayed in on AirBNB. It's in the remote area of Volcano and lends itself to a very very relaxing vacation. You can't see another house from the roof - its that nice and secluded! The house was very clean and comfortably fit our small group of friends! There were three very spacious and comfortable bedrooms. The house has all the amenities you can want, and it was was very clean. Best part was definitely the rooftop hot tub! Hands down, two thumbs up!
Sadly, it looks like I can only give five stars for my top review. Anyone reading here, please see this as a six-star review. The Mauna Kea view house is wonderful--all the comforts of home, but without the snow. ;-) This was our first Airbnb rental, so we weren't sure exactly what to do at each step. Krish was very helpful in making us feel confident in the process. Her directions and suggestions were excellent, and we would certainly rent from her again. This is an ideal location for anyone who wants to explore Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. Ten minute drive to the park, so you really can spend all your time hiking and exploring. About a 40 minute drive to 'Akaka Falls and 30 minutes to Hilo. The rooms are lovely and Krish supplies EVERYTHING--I didn't have to buy Saran wrap or dishwashing liquid or coffee! There were even little bananas that ripened in a day, and we ate them up like candy. The grounds make you feel very secluded. Plentiful supply of nice towels, and comfy beds. Maybe six stars isn't enough!
Krish was a responsive and excellent host. The house was very clean, and it was exactly as shown in the pictures.
My family and I had a great stay at Hale Hapuu in Volcano. Situated nicely between Hilo and Kano and able to easily access Volcano National Park down the road. Close to beaches too. The house was very charming for a modern cabin and offered great amenities! It got a bit chilly up there, I'd suggest you pack sweatshirts for the evenings. Overall it was a great time. We would recommend if you decide to stay on the Big Island.
The Hot tub house worked out well for our family of 5. A comfortable, clean home with convenient location to Volcano park and village. The hot tub was a nice bonus too! Krish was very friendly and accommodating. The security system was a little confusing but didn't pose a problem. I would definitely recommend this house to anyone interested. Thanks Krish!
Krish was extremely helpful and the house was great -- beautifully decorated, clean, and well taken care-of. Recommended!
Absolutely great! We were really impressed with this place. The hot tub was obviously the best part. The house had everything we could possibly need. Krish provided tons of details about the house and also the local area. Wish we could have stayed longer.
Krish was flexible with the booking as the first time we scheduled a tropical storm was about to land. She offered to credit us a different night which was very helpful. The day we arrived to check in at our agreed 3pm time however, the house wasn't done being completely cleaned and we had to wait another 30 minutes outside with our friends while Krish and her husband finished things up. The house was in the end very tidy and clean and we felt comfortable. There was a mild mildew smell throughout the house but this is fairly typical of homes in Volcano since it is so wet in the region. Overall we had a good experience and the home was as expected. The rooftop hot tub was a great addition!
I have stayed in Krish's luxurious upstairs unit for a couple of days recently and I loved it! There is a deck which boasts a private jacuzzi; no neighbors is the way to go! There is also a fully tiled, oversized, two head shower/bathroom in the upstairs. Her home is just a couple of minutes drive from Volcano National Park where you could get lost in nature saying to yourself "This must be like walking on the moon" and "The trees are like no other, Just Magnificent!" Not to mention Krish's hospitality! She cooks gourmet meals so just ask what the up-charge is, because it will be less than going to the surrounding area restaurants. Also, there is a coffee maker in the lux bedroom to ease your way into your day. You will have a fabulous staying at Krish's home and come away with new friends that you will want to see when you come to the Big Island of Hawai'i.
If you 'goooggled', 'Host with the Most' Krish and Jack's face would appear! It may read something like this: "Joyful, Happy Hosts of the Most Unique Inn on The Big Island! Talented and Artistic with a real attention to details. They go the extra distance to please and will pull out all the stops to make your vacation experience the VERY BEST. Krish and Jack are extra effort people, as you can see by their photo she's a bit of rare earth mama and he's a fun, intelligent musician, the boys are delightful. They can hook you up with all the information you will need to make your stay enjoyable, that is if you can force yourself to leave the beautiful sanctuary they've created for guests. Whatever you do, DO NOT MISS the private Hot Tub adjacent to the suite. Gorgeous. Bottom line, Wonderful attentive hosts to make YOUR vacation the most memorable yet!

From start of game to level 20 , you solo questing . Then at level 20 the game force you group to finish dungeon quests. manage to get pass the level 20 dungeon after finish it 1 time and never look back then after 10 level solo , another dungeon force player to group lol . Then solo 10 more levels , another force group contents appear . Then after 10 more solo levels .... after 10 more ... after ... 10 ... after .... Okay , i don't know why they keep this retard design around . If the game design total for solo , then why add group contents ? It feel like sweet candy with salt at core , seriously . If they going to make solo MMORPGs from the start , never add forced group contents. No trading (no bots lol) , no AH , no forced group . If they want to create solo (lol) MMORPGs. Then how they disguised they game as MMORPGs to draw the crowd ? Simple , the town are place where players see other , there are chat box for players to chat with other . Players can make party at town And when player join party , they become weaker so the contents become harder and more challenge . And the reward are same as solo playing. They still Massively (at town and chat box ) multiplayer (optional) online (DRM lol) role-playing game But build total for solo with multiplayer option. No trading = no worry about bot , no worry about cheat , no more accounts hack . Wonderful MMORPGs (lol) , so why keep (Forced) group contents when you build your MMORPG total for solo play ? Yes! my question is why keep (Forced) group contents when you build your MMORPG total for solo play ? Seriously , who want sweet candy with salt at core ? |

The game is an attempt to create a hybrid between MMOS and single player games and the two designs clash glaringly at many times during gameplay, such as you mentioned with the infrequent dungeon content.
Same goes for the mini bosses in the open world you need to group for, and as I understand it more and more they are making the VR content more group centric than solo. I think it would be better for titles to not try to cater to all, I'd prefer they start out as either group centric from the start, with game designs that strongly supported and encouraged grouping, or began as a solo experience with largely instanced content that was solo oriented and then stayed that way for good. Create either a very social,good grouping game, or a well built solo experience, but stop trying cater to both, ends up creating a mediocre experience for both designs. Arrogant, Condescending, Dismissive, Elitist, "Meany", you speak as if these are bad things? |
I find it dumb that you're playing a solo game and then bam there is a boss or dungeon or whatever that requires grouping. A lot of times grouping at least at lower levels is just about numbers not so much tactics.
What I find strange is people that play massively multiplayer games yet really want to solo like it was a single player game... case: Coolermaster HAF932 |

Originally posted by iixviiiix what's so funny? Tell me so I can laugh too. on topic: You are right, MMOs should not allow solo leveling. It dilutes the MMO experience so much that it's hard to tell if it's a single-player with MMO stuff tossed in or an MMO with singleplayer stuff to close gaps. It's not what you meant to point out but it's actually a fundamental flaw with present MMOs. Many years ago in Heroic Mechanar I asked a hunter to freeze a mob. He replied "Let me find it in my spellbook". I was horrified back then but now...even realising he has that ability, and realising he has a spellbook is an achievements not all hunters are capable of. He at least processed the info enough to find the spell and put it on his bars instead of replying with "lol you need cc, shit tank" or better, with some 4chan'ish insults. We're living sad times in this genre. Truly a dark age of MMOs. |
I've never played an mmo solo. Why does it matter so much that other people have ? Is it the game that's built wrong or the people who can't make friends unless others are forced to play with them ?
Originally posted by Asm0deus People thinking that MMORPG's have to have grouped combat to be social are far more of a problem then those wanting solo combat. I guess the shallow nature of the genre leads if you group up in combat you're not being social. Forced grouped combat is only one method of doing but many of the social experiences I had were in games you could solo combat like UO and SWG. |
The one thing in GW2 that pissed me off. You solo your personal story all the way to the end and the last part you have to find a group for it. So many players freaked about this and they still refuse to change it. So now no one does the personal story anymore. Its called your story and it never really is. The very last mission you have to find a group. Mmo companies are all about the money thats why they mix in every kind of gameplay in the game. And it fails most of the time. And i will never understand mixing PVP and PVE. It just really seems stupid to me.
Originally posted by Vermillion_Raventhal Also, all MMORPGs can be social. Its the people that have changed far more than the games. |
I've never played a game that forced me to play solo our forced me to do the dungeon. If I did then it was because I wanted to. I dont know you ate taking about.
Quit worrying about other players in a game and just play. |
Yes MMORPG's should have forced group content if you can complete the whole game solo then it shouldn't be called a MMORPG its just a RPG |
Guess you missed the whole there are many other ways to interact and be social argument than just grouping.
Quit worrying about other players in a game and just play. |
Playing in Craglorn in ESO reminds me of FFXI with forced grouping. You get 24 people together and go rampant on the quests. It's really easy with that many people, but it sure is fun to talk to others :)
Originally posted by iixviiiix You are confused. MMO were never designed for solo. the filler content was designed for solo, since sits filler content and meaningless. That's why in most MMO, you notice the only solo parts are the leveling part of the game, and not the meaningful endgame content. |
Well since most people don't get up endgame and endgame is arguable complained about more than the rest of the game we could definitely argue that the endgame is meaningless content. I definitely thinkso anyway.
Quit worrying about other players in a game and just play. |
What is weird to me is that some of the first games (Lineage and Asheron's Call for examples) had a great system where people could play and progress both solo and grouped. There weren't weird artificial barriers to either. You didn't have to do content in any preconceived size. If two or three people were good enough they could go into very difficult areas and be successful. If you wanted to go with many people for safety and ease you could. If you were a great player you could go solo tons of stuff. The design template is there, but developers choose a simpler more confined method to designing content. Then again those early games weren't really heavy on scripted instanced content and quests. Maybe that's a huge factor in the design paradigm. I really like how you phrase things. No one has as many friends as a man with many cheeses! |
Originally posted by MMOExposed No, this time you are wrong. MMOs now aren't designed for solo-centric progression. At one time there was no arbitrary line defining playstyles. There was just content in the open world and you could play and progress with whatever number of players you wanted. No one has as many friends as a man with many cheeses! |
I, personally, disagree entirely with this post. I think solo play should be a minor side feature in a group-based game, so those who can't find more than an 30 mins to 1 hour on occasion can still make SOME progression. I would never want a game that's entirely one or the other, though.
Originally posted by Torvaldr They were designed no differently than today, really. If you didn't group, you were cut off to parts of the game that were too hard to solo, at least at the appropriate level, gear, whatever range, but soloing was possible, though a slower form of progression. They're pretty close in speed nowadays, though. |
Originally posted by iixviiiix hmm .. there are games that don't .. like Diablo 3, and Marvel Heroes. |

" OK, Frasier. Which adviser and what did he say? Be specific."McCain Endorsement Angers Catholic League PresidentUpdated 6 p.m. But Catholic League President Bill Donohue said in a statement today that Hagee has written extensively in negative ways about the Catholic Church, "calling it 'The Great Whore,' an 'apostate church,' the 'anti-Christ,' and a 'false cult system.'" Catholics United, a national online group, also blasted McCain over the endorsement. "By receiving the endorsement of an outspoken critic of the Catholic Church, McCain once again demonstrates that he is willing to sell out his principles for a chance to win the Presidency," said Chris Korzen, Executive Director of Catholics United in a statement. "We hope Senator McCain will take the principled position of publicly and unequivocally distancing himself from Pastor Hagee's anti-Catholic comments. Intolerance and bigotry do not belong in American politics." The McCain campaign had no immediate comment on the statements. |

Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., still breaks from GOP orthodoxy on such issues as torture and immigration. But operating below the radar, the potential Republican presidential hopeful is taking steps to win over the conservatives who denied him the GOP's presidential nomination in 2000. His efforts have paid off with at least one prominent conservative. "I think he is genuinely a state's righter -- and so am I," the Rev. Jerry Falwell told ABC News. When McCain ran for president the last time, he denounced Falwell as one of America's "agents of intolerance." But now that McCain is gearing up to run for president as the GOP's establishment candidate, he has told Falwell that he spoke "in haste" in 2000. "It just came down to pure old politics in South Carolina and other states," Falwell said. Falwell and McCain first made peace in a face-to-face meeting a few months ago. In a sign of their improved relationship, McCain has agreed to be the graduation speaker at Falwell's Liberty University on May 13. Weighing a Marriage AmendmentWhen McCain accepted an invitation to be Liberty University's graduation speaker, he spoke with Falwell by phone about the marriage issue. According to Falwell, McCain is not pushing for a federal marriage amendment at this time. But McCain "reconfirmed" to Falwell that he would support a federal constitutional amendment defining marriage as the union of one man and one woman if a federal court were to strike down state constitutional bans on gay marriage. McCain's outreach to conservatives on marriage is politically important because of the way he sharply denounced a federal constitutional ban on gay marriage when it was considered in 2004. McCain called it "antithetical in every way to the core philosophy of Republicans" because it "usurps from the states a fundamental authority they have always possessed and imposes a federal remedy for a problem that most states do not believe confronts them." Democrats wasted little time criticizing McCain's rapprochement with Falwell. Karen Finney, the Democratic National Committee's communications director, called it a "flip- flop." |

Fraser, * This is a man that McCain doesn't even know, much less have for 20 years as a pastor, baptizer, policy vetter, and namer of his autobiography. * Being a critic of the Catholic church is not the same as accusing whites of engineering HIV to kill blacks. Hagee's criticism is theological, not personal or racial in nature-- I'm guessing he would gladly accept a convert from Catholicism. He disagrees (strongly) with the ideology and theology of the Catholic church. Lame comparison. |

its almost surreal how you can't actually get a black person, even on here, to just come out and say "of course the US government didn't use AIDS and crack to try to kill black people. if a black individual is a crack head or has AIDS, that's his or her own responsibility" 10 threads about this, and i haven't heard anyone say "wow that's weird that anyone would think that" guaranteed that if some white preacher was on tv saying something crazy like "all white people know that black people are stupid" we could find and OGer or two to say "of course white people don't think that" its just more of the same old bullshit where American blacks circle the wagons no matter how wrong the guy is. Defend OJ even though you know he's a murderer, Michael Jackson even though you know he's a child rapist, Wright even though you know he's a racist and a lunatic, Obama even though you know he's under qualified. All that matters is that they're the right color I don't see how people in the black community can talk about racism with a straight face, its so sad that the only place in America its still alive and well is within the black community, and its even sadder that no one cares about changing that any time soon I guess its easier to just continue to manufacture grievances so whitey always owes you something and you can keep that anger going I've said more than once that the Palestinians and black Americans are the two most close minded and self destructive community groups I've ever seen, and here it is all spelled out for everyone. This church is so crazy racist they don't even care that they're destroying their own church member by not backing away from all this craziness. Its more important for them to close ranks and show white america that they're not sorry for anything that's been said in their church ever than it is for them to not completely fuck Obama's campaign by telling people from CNN "oh yeah, Rev Wright told the truth and we agree with everything he said. here's a flyer about how racist America is towards us" this past Sunday So self-destructive and ignorant and hateful and pathetic, all at the same time. you don't know whether to laugh or cry |

It's funny to me that everyone is making a deal out of the fact that its a afrocentric church. The comments wright has made have been outrageous and are wrong, but the fact that the church pushes an african american POV is fine. Do you not think white churches push their own agenda? It may not be as straightforward as him, but there are plenty of examples. Hell, we even plaster pictures of Jesus in every white church with Jesus appearing to be a very pale light skinned caucasion. LOL, jesus wasn't some american of european decent. I guess whites are more subtle in that area. |

Senator John McCain hailed as a spiritual adviser an Ohio megachurch pastor who has called upon Christians to wage a "war" against the "false religion" of Islam with the aim of destroying it.
On February 26, McCain appeared at a campaign rally in Cincinnati with the Reverend Rod Parsley of the World Harvest Church of Columbus, a supersize Pentecostal institution that features a 5,200-seat sanctuary, a television studio (where Parsley tapes a weekly show), and a 122,000-square-foot Ministry Activity Center. That day, a week before the Ohio primary, Parsley praised the Republican presidential front-runner as a "strong, true, consistent conservative." The endorsement was important for McCain, who at the time was trying to put an end to the lingering challenge from former Arkansas governor Mike Huckabee, a favorite among Christian evangelicals. A politically influential figure in Ohio, Parsley could also play a key role in McCain's effort to win this bellwether state in the general election. McCain, with Parsley by his side at the Cincinnati rally, called the evangelical minister a "spiritual guide." The leader of a 12,000-member congregation, Parsley has written several books outlining his fundamentalist religious outlook, including the 2005 Silent No More. In this work, Parsley decries the "spiritual desperation" of the United States, and he blasts away at the usual suspects: activist judges, civil libertarians who advocate the separation of church and state, the homosexual "culture" ("homosexuals are anything but happy and carefree"), the "abortion industry," and the crass and profane entertainment industry. And Parsley targets another profound threat to the United States: the religion of Islam. In a chapter titled "Islam: The Deception of Allah," Parsley warns there is a "war between Islam and Christian civilization." He continues: I cannot tell you how important it is that we understand the true nature of Islam, that we see it for what it really is. In fact, I will tell you this: I do not believe our country can truly fulfill its divine purpose until we understand our historical conflict with Islam. I know that this statement sounds extreme, but I do not shrink from its implications. The fact is that America was founded, in part, with the intention of seeing this false religion destroyed, and I believe September 11, 2001, was a generational call to arms that we can no longer ignore. |

Parsley, who refers to himself as a "Christocrat," is no stranger to controversy. In 2007, the grassroots organization he founded, the Center for Moral Clarity, called for prosecuting people who commit adultery. In January, he compared Planned Parenthood to Nazis. In the past Parsley's church has been accused of engaging in pro-Republican partisan activities in violation of its tax-exempt status. Why would McCain court Parsley? He has long had trouble figuring out how to deal with Christian fundamentalists, an important bloc for the Republican Party. During his 2000 presidential bid, he referred to Pat Robertson and Jerry Falwell as "agents of intolerance." But six years later, as he readied himself for another White House run, McCain repudiated that remark. More recently, his campaign hit a rough patch when he accepted the endorsement of the Reverend John Hagee, a Texas televangelist who has called the Catholic Church "the great whore" and a "false cult system." After the Catholic League protested and called on McCain to renounce Hagee's support, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee praised Hagee's spiritual leadership and support of Israel and said that "when [Hagee] endorses me, it does not mean that I embrace everything that he stands for or believes in." After being further criticized for his Hagee connection, McCain backed off slightly, saying, "I repudiate any comments that are made, including Pastor Hagee's, if they are anti-Catholic or offensive to Catholics." But McCain did not renounce Hagee's endorsement. |

"And I don't consider myself racist." 'of course not' Question for Brenda: Are you going to have the courage to accuse me of racism? Or are you going to just let your snide and sarcastic remark sit there? If the latter, I'll have a good handle on your character (or lack of it). |

i didn't blame bush for anything...on this thread. and the fact of the matter is that if bush had improved race relations, then obama's guy wouldn't have anything to yell about. You just blamed Bush for not improving race relations you asshat. And it's not like people here on this board haven't bashed Bush before over some of his associations over the last 6-7 years, so don't act like it's not old hat. |

not to mention that if Fraser can just somehow show McCain has a friend who doesn't like gays or Catholics, then he doesn't have to ever worry about talking about Obama or Wright how can people not see how self destructive that is? "oh Mark Furhman used the word nigger 10 years ago, so its cool that we got OJ off". The reasoning there was supposedly that him using that word was "proof" of his racism, which was "proof" that there was a racist conspiracy against OJ, a guy who made a run for the border with a fake beard and a pile of cash. So everyone can feel good about getting one of their own off for murder even though he did it, because hey, the cops are racist so ... and if McCain has an advisor that has problems with Catholics, why we can all just talk about that and not ever have to look in the mirror and see what's wrong with our community. We can keep fomenting racism and looking to leaders like Farakan and Jesse Jackson, who are racist against Jews, and Wright and others who are racist against whites, and others who have a grudge against the USA for not being the kind of place they want it to be. As long as we can point a finger at someone else don't ever need to take the time to clean up our own backyard, its great how that works seriously, this shit is fucking disgusting. but what can you expect from people who's knight in shining armor threw his own grandmother under the bus with a "sure my preacher is racist but my grandma is too, in the other direction, so it all balances out" speech |

"chris, what would it matter - you don't want to hear black people's opinions anyway." 1. That's a lie. Anyone who reads what I wrote can see that. 2. That's a non-answer. I think I got your real answer though. You're the kind of person who feels that it's just fine to let a little smear of racism slip if it will help them in an argument. I think I've got the measure of your character on this point. Thanks. |

"-no one ever asked me what i felt about that or if i believed it." no one ever asks your opinion on all this other stuff you favor us with, why should that lack of interest be the thing that stops you this time? "do i believe the AIDS thing? no. do i believe that some could reasonably come to that conclusion based on the actions of the u.s. government in the past? yes." you understand that people with AIDS weren't just injected with it by the government, right? they're getting it through their own actions. but hey, don't let that stop you from defending the views and logic of complete morons and people who make a living by stirring up race hatred |

Getting into cycling: Safety tips and advice for seniors
Mar 1, 2012, 9:31 a.m.
The accident failed to make the evening news, but the emergency records at Stanly Regional Medical Center give enough details to inform nosey people. It was a senior cycling accident. The male rider was 59 years old. It was his first time open road bike riding in over ten years.
Had he paid attention to his wife's warnings about safety helmets, kneepads and making a slow beginning, he may have walked away from the accident. He was coasting fast when the front tire blew out. His wife said it sounded like a rifle shot, but she was a far ways behind. Mr. Hardhead ended up laying on the pavement unconscious with his eyes rolled back and his tongue hanging. He also suffered scrapes and bruises, three lacerated ribs and a broken collarbone. The effort to do something special for his wife's birthday exceeded the man's greatest expectations.
Multiple Biking Safety Errors
Cycling can be a leisurely form of exercise, but it should be approached slowly and with great concern for bike safety tips and road rules. The couple involved in the above accident made several critical biking safety errors. They are as follows:
Equipment Preparation: They were riding bikes that had been stored in the basement for over fifteen years. The man pulled them out, tightened a few bolts and nuts, and then pumped up old and untested tires.
Equipment Sizing: One of the bikes was too small for an adult. Equipment sizing helps enable accurate control of the bike.
Biking Safety Equipment: They came from an age that never used biking safety helmets, kneepads or elbow pads. Had the man not been rendered unconscious upon collision, he may have been able to avoid the extended body damage that followed that moment.
Resistance to Age: Sometimes seniors just don't feel like seniors. This attitude can affect judgment calls. Before the trip began, the 59-year-old rider's wife suggested purchasing safety helmets. But in the man's mind, good health and sharp reflexes were enough to keep them safe on a bike.
Course Selection: Some folks say that you never forget how to ride a bike. Yet the years have a way of mounting against memory. This couple chose the hills of Morrow Mountain State Park as a beginner's training ground. This mountain enables coasting speeds that can exceed thirty miles per hour.
Results of the Failure to Follow Basic Bike Safety Tips
So what caused the accident? The man inflated the tires by feel rather than gauge. When the front tire blew out, he was coasting fast and riding a bike that was too small. His wife, lingering far behind and riding at a sensible pace, said she heard something like a gunshot. He can't remember the blowout, the fall or the landing. He does remember waking up in great pain with rangers all around and an ambulance on the way.
Senior cycling can be great fun. But use common sense. Remember your age. And follow basic bike safety tips.

How do you rate with women in the attraction stakes? Do women find you compulsive - or repulsive? Compelling or repellent? Take this test now to find out exactly how you rate with women. At the end of this test, a book and one of its chapters will be mentioned. In that chapter, you'll discover the secrets about what women really look for in a man. This test is based on the physical and non-physical points you score each time a woman meets you and will tell you how well you fare. Once you've done this test, ask a few of your female friends to rate you on the questions (log out from OkCupid so that they do not overwrite your original result), and discover how your results compare.
GIRLS AND WOMEN: You can also take this test to evaluate your current partner, or to know how you picture your ideal partner to be. However, if you are evaluating your current partner, DO NOT bring up the results for discussion with him, or during any argument, especially if they turn out to be bad. And if you're basing the answers on your ideal partner, you must keep in mind that it's close to impossible to find a person who perfectly matches the description of your ideal partner.
Please do not skip any question. Choose the best answer. This is because skipping may wreck the total overall score, even though you may have scored high in the questions you answered. A skipped question will assume the lowest score.

Website Load Time
Website load time is an important factor, because Google is taking the site's loading speed into consideration in determining its ranking. Even though this will not have a big impact, it is still something we (webmasters) should really look into.

Kastelholm Castle
Kastelholm Castle Kastelholma (linna) |
View of the refurbished castle in 2004 |
Date of construction: | Original ~1300s and restored from 1982 through 1989 |
Style: | Medieval |
Location: | Sund, Mariehamn, Åland |
Builder: | Swedish Monarchy |
Owner: | Åland |
Kastelholm Castle (Swedish: Kastelholms slott) is a Swedish-built[1] medieval castle located off Road 2[2] in Sund, Åland, Finland, approximately 25 km (16 mi) northeast of Mariehamn, overlooking a fjord to the south of the village of Kastelholm.[3][4][5] Along with Hämeenlinna, Olavinlinna in Savonlinna, Raasepori, and Turku, Kastelholm is one of only five surviving Finnish medieval fortresses that are also considered to be architecturally substantial.[6] Built in the 14th century, and held in fief during the Middle Ages by various nobles,[7] feudal chiefs, and kings,[8] it had significant period in the 15th and 16th centuries.
Built in the 14th century, originally on a small island surrounded by moats filled with water and planted with several rows of poles, the castle has been of strategic importance in consolidating Swedish authority over the Baltic over the last several centuries; with several Swedish monarchs parading through the history. It was first damaged in the 1599 civil war when it came under king Charles IX control and was rebuilt by 1631. The castle was gutted and ruined in 1745. In the 1930s, it was partially used as a granary. However, since then it has been refurbished and is now an important part of the tourist circuit in Åland.[9][10][11]
Construction began in the 1380s on the castle's southern side.[12] It was first mentioned in 1388 in the contract of Queen Margaret I of Denmark, where a large portion of the inheritance of Bo Jonsson Grip, the castle's first occupier,[13] was given to the queen. The mansus unit rŏk, a taxation term, was first introduced during the 14th century for the maintenance of the castle.[14]
The heyday of the castle was in the 15th and 16th centuries. When Niels Eriksen Gyldenstjerne, Danish Steward of the Realm during the period of 1453–1456, received the Kastelholm fief in 1485, he did so with the understanding that he was "faithfully to build and improve the walls and buildings of the said castle of Kastelholm, which are needful for the said castle, to the benefit and use of the crown of Sweden, as he has promised us willingly to do".[15] Of the several enhancements made to the original construction, one of the most notable was by Gustav Vasa, before he became king of Sweden,[2] who regularly used to hunt on the castle grounds.[16] In fact, the hunting-grounds of the castle's forests were protected by law permitting only the castle's governor and the king to hunt here.[17]
Kastelholm developed a shipyard employing 50 shipwrights in the 16th century.[18] However, in 1505 the Danish naval officer Søren Norby captured the castle from the Swedes.[19] The presence of Gypsies in Finland is first mentioned in the castle's record books in 1559.[20] King John III kept his deposed brother Eric XIV in captivity in the castle in the Fall of 1571. In the late 16th century, the castle belonged to Katarina Stenbock, an enemy of the King of Sweden Eric XIV. With the help of cannons, the castle was damaged severely when the forces of king Charles IX conquered it in the 1599 civil war.
The damages were repaired by 1631. However, due to a change in the county system, Åland was joined with the County of Åbo and Björneborg at which time Kastelholm lost its status[21] as an administrative centre and its overall importance just three years after the damages were repaired. From the late 1600s began the castle to decay and much of it burned down in an extensive fire in 1745. For a time, it served as a prison but by the 1770s it was abandoned. At some point after 1809, the post office was moved from the castle to the Bomarsund, as was the Russian Commandant's secretariat.[22]
Kastelholm was partly used as a granary and as a quarry for local farmers in the 1930s. A restoration program, advanced from 1982 through 1989, involved archaeological excavations.[23] Today, much of the Kastelhom Castle is reconstructed and since the 1990s has contained the Outdoor Museum Jan Karlsgården
The castle was built on a small island to strengthen the Swedish presence on Åland.[1] The island is surrounded by water and moats filled with several lines of poles, while the castle is surrounded by a 3 m (9.8 ft) wall.[2]
Built of brick and mortar,[24] the castle's original design included a rectangular stone keep and a residential wing.[13] Of the two gate towers, reaching to 15 m (49 ft)[2] in height in some places, the large one located between the main castle and the outer bailey was built circa the 15th century, while the other is located between the outer bailey and the castle's exterior was built in the 16th century.[25] The hall, of later construction, became re-purposed as a granary.[2] The castle includes a chapel; its patron saints are Berard of Carbio and four other Moroccan martyrs.[26]
The castle is a major tourist attraction easily accessible by car from Mariehamn, by bus only on weekdays. Excavated items, such as early stove tiles,[27] are on exhibit in the hall.[2] A medieval festival, replete with dance, food, and jousting occurs each year in July.[2] The area around and down to Stornäset has become a royal estate with a golf course also available in the area.
Other attractions nearby include the Outdoor Museum Jan Karlsgården,[2] which is next to the castle, and the nearby ruins of Bomarsund, a huge Russian-built naval fortress.[1] The fjord on which the castle is located on is used for sailing and for boating.
Blasting controversy[edit]
Blasting plans to build a new road some 700 metres from Kastelholm caused considerable controversy and dispute. The castle authorities and the media were under the impression that the vibrations from the blasting would create irreplaceable damage to the foundations of this ancient landmark and given that the castle had been recently renovated internally at the time believed it would cause damage.[28] In the end, experts assessed that the way the vibrations would be distributed would not cause the damage that was anticipated and the blasting went ahead.

The two men will meet at the Pentagon on Tuesday, Reuters reported, citing an unnamed U.S. official. The meeting will take place following Barak's speech at the American Israel Public Affairs Committee's annual policy conference, which begins Sunday and ends on Tuesday.
The two defense chiefs, who have known each other for more than a decade, will discuss the Iranian threat during their meeting, according to Reuters. It is also expected that they will talk about cuts in U.S. assistance to Israel due to sequestration. It is not known yet exactly how much those cuts will amount to, but the figure could be as high as $300 million and affect the Iron Dome anti-missile system. |

Trigg, SN, Roy, DP, Flasse, SP (2005). An in situ study of the effects of surface anisotropy on the remote sensing of burned savannah. INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF REMOTE SENSING, 26(21), 4869-4876.
AbstractThis Letter presents field-based evidence of the perturbing effects of surface anisotropy on the remote sensing of burned savannah. The analysis is based on bidirectional spectral reflectance data collected at different solar illumination angles and convolved to Moderate-resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer ( MODIS) reflective bands. Results from a grass savannah site show that burning reduces the anisotropy of the surface compared to its pre-burn state. In contrast, at a shrub savannah site, burning reduces or increases surface anisotropy. Spectral indices defined from 1.240 mu m and 2.130 mu m reflectance, and 1.640 mu m and 2.130 mu m reflectance, provided stronger diurnal separation between burned and unburned areas than individual reflectance bands but do not eliminate anisotropic effects. The Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) provides weak diurnal separation relative to these near- and mid-infrared based indices. Implications of the findings are discussed for burned area mapping.
