Monk, Hannibal, and Gandalf -- Write Stuff -- 3-25-2014
in Radio
What does an OCD and fear stricken detective, a cannibalistic serial killer, and a wizard all have in common? After all, Monk solves crimes, Hannibal commits crimes, and Gandalf fights against evil. For that matter, none of these people are real. So what's the connection they all share?
The first obvious one may be that they are all male. That's true but that's not the connection I am referring to. What I am getting at is that they are interesting character. They pop from the screen and the pages. You know their personalities, how they respond to certain situations, their strengths, their weaknesses, their quirks, and a whole host of other minutia that make you relate to them.
Character development cannot be overstressed. A great plot line can be ruined by a poorly developed characters. A setting where the characters do not interact appropriately can ruin the story. All in call, creating interesting characters is an essential part to great story telling.
Join me as I sit down with Stephanie Karfelt, author of the book Warrior of the Ages as we discuss how to develop interesting characters. You can call in at 646-595-2083, press 1 to be live on air. Or, download the WLUV Radio mobile app. Any way you can, join us!

Top Gear drives the fastest Ferrari ever
The F12 Berlinetta has 730bhp, gets to 62mph in 3.1secs and hits 211mph. Hold on tight...
Posted: 02 Jan 2013
I fit slightly less happily in the cabin. I've used these sports seats with their fang-like under-thigh protuberances before and always found them rather hard. They look superb, of course, even from the back, but with minimal adjustment available, you need to fit them rather than them you, and I'm too narrow and short. Six foot and 14 stone would be about perfect, I reckon.
Bar some funky new air vents, the cabin is largely free from surprises. If you've peered inside a 458 or FF, you'll recognise the steering wheel and dash lay-out: no column stalks and just one central dial - a bright yellow rev-counter - flanked by a pair of info screens. It's a bit of a fiddle, but you get used to the way it works. Certainly, as we slipped away from Maranello at 4.30 this morning, I was grateful for this familiarity, able to trigger full beam easily, find somewhere within reach for phone and wallet, plus select the softer of the two damper settings.

20.07.04 - Hard-hitting heavyweight prospect JOHN McDERMOTT is relishing the prospect of his first title opportunity with the news that he has been nominated by the British Boxing Board of Control to fight Mark Krence for the Vacant English Heavyweight title.

Big Bad John said, This is fantastic news which has really fired me up to put on a good performance next Friday,
I feel that the opportunity has come just at the right time in my career and Im not going to let it pass by,
Krence is a good fighter but he wont be able to cope with my hand speed and power,
The English title is the one I want to win first and make a few defences before going on to challenge for the British title which has been my dream since first putting on the gloves,
Im still young for a heavyweight and Ive got a lot to learn but beating a fighter like Krence will be a good step up the ladder on the domestic scene.
Krence holds the Midlands Area title and his only defeat was to Audley Harrison over two years ago and even he could not stop the tough

Reach for the Sky
Private companies are competing to bring tourism to outer space.
If you could travel anywhere you wanted this winter, where would you go? Would you ski in the mountains, visit friends or family in another state, or lie on a tropical beach somewhere?
Or would you rather take a rocket into space?
That last choice might not be as far off as you think. A handful of companies are designing rockets, testing engines, and building electronic systems to create spaceships that would take everyday people on the trip of a lifetime.
SpaceShipOne, a privately-built spacecraft, has now flown several times into space.

Already, several astronauts have flown into space in a privately-built spaceship. On Sept. 29, Mike Melvill piloted a torpedo-shaped vehicle called SpaceShipOne to an altitude of 64 miles above Earth's surface.
A plane had towed the spacecraft to 50,000 feet, just above where a jumbo jet flies. Then SpaceShipOne broke away, fired its rocket engine, and soared upwards. The ship rolled 29 times as it was climbing out of the atmosphere, adding some unexpected excitement, but Melvill got things under control and landed safely in California's Mojave Desert about 24 minutes later.
Five days later, Brian Binnie earned his astronaut wings by flying SpaceShipOne even higher, to an altitude of more than 69 miles.
Until the flights of SpaceShipOne, all astronauts had zoomed into space aboard vehicles built by government agencies, such as the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA).
"I strongly feel that, if we are successful, our program will mark the beginning of a renaissance for manned space flight," Burt Rutan says. He heads the company, Scaled Composites, that built SpaceShipOne.
"We need affordable space travel to inspire our youth, to let them know that they can experience their dreams, can set significant goals and be in a position to lead all of us to future progress in exploration, discovery, and fun," Rutan says.
Eyes on the prize
Because SpaceShipOne completed two manned space flights within 2 weeks, Rutan and his team won the $10 million Ansari X Prize.
As winners of the Ansari X Prize, members of the SpaceShipOne team hold up a check for 10 million dollars. The check was presented on Nov. 6, 2004, in St. Louis.
|Courtesy of the Ansari X Prize Foundation
The X Prize had been set up by Peter Diamandis, who was first bitten by the space-exploration bug when he was 9 or 10 years old. As a kid, he tracked the Apollo space program and the race to put a man on the moon.
"One of my objectives in getting the X Prize going was to get people excited about space again and create a new race that they can be involved in," Diamandis says.
In early November, Diamandis handed over a big check to the SpaceShipOne team. "It feels fantastic," he says. "It feels so good to give away $10 million."
Still, winning the X Prize is just the first leg in the race for space tourism. Companies have to continue to improve spacecraft to make travel safe and somewhat affordable.
The X Prize Cup festival will give people a chance to see the latest rocket technology.

Now, instead of having just one X Prize, Diamandis and others are setting up an X Prize Cup competition, a 10-day festival that will be held every year in New Mexico. Visitors to the space fair will get an up-close look at new technology, watch rocket launches, and conduct interactive experiments, among other things.
The competition
Teams from all over the world had been working hard to grab the X Prize. But they aren't giving up on their space-bound ships just because they didn't win.
The biggest problem for most of the groups is getting enough money to build and test rockets. Billionaire Paul Allen invested millions of dollars in SpaceShipOne, but most teams don't have that kind of cash. Still, the engineers and physicists and mathematicians are moving forward with their projects, often volunteering their time.
"I'm just wowed about the idea of exploring in space," says Eric Meier. He's with Space Transport Corporation, a company based in Washington state. "I think there's a lot of challenges out there that will be a lot of fun to tackle," he says.

Meier dreams of one day having a moon base where adventurers could vacation and play basketball or mountain bike. But for now, the Space Transport team is focusing on building the rocket that will carry people into space.
The company tried to launch its unmanned Rubicon 1 rocket in August 2004, but the engine malfunctioned and the craft exploded. "It was pretty spectacular," Meier says.
The Space Transport team has learned from its mistakes, and it's now finishing a new and improved Rubicon 2. The group has tried to keep things as simple as possible, but new guidance systems, electronics, engines and a spinning launch pad still need to be tested.
Once everything's working, Space Transport hopes to get funding for a bigger rocket that can take passengers into space.
Star chaser
Over in England, Steven Bennett's company, Starchaser Industries, has already tested 16 different rockets. Each one was bigger and better than the one before, Bennett says.
Starchaser's entry in the tourism space race will have a reusable booster rocket and a three-passenger capsule that detaches in an emergency. The rocket's engine is the biggest built in the United Kingdom since the government stopped its space program.
"If you're a speed junkie, our rocket's for you," Bennett says.

As the Starchaser team works on its newest project, its members are bringing a 40-foot rocket to show-and-tell at schools around England.
"We're trying to encourage kids to get into science and engineering and technology," Bennett says. "There's a kid in 10th or 9th grade now, and he's going to be the first one to set foot on Mars. It would be really cool if he was inspired by us."
Big balloons
Other companies in the space tourism business are trying unconventional designs.
Canada's da Vinci Project, based in Toronto, is putting the finishing touches on a rocket that will be launched from the world's most massive helium balloon. The team is also using surprising materials, such as treated wood.
Volunteer Chris Vance says that he hopes these new approaches will inspire NASA to be more creative as well.
Volunteers, including enthusiastic students from nearby universities, have done much of the work for the Canadian team.
"People have responded like crazy," Vance says. "We've had guys move out here to help with the project."
Vance spends a lot of his time scouring the Internet looking for parts. There's no convenient "rocket store" down the street, he says.
Vacation in orbit
Most companies developing spacecraft have focused on taking people on brief, suborbital flights 62 miles above Earth. Interorbital Systems in California, on the other hand, is jumping one step ahead. This company is developing an orbital spacecraft that would host guests for 7-day vacations at 250 miles above Earth.
Interorbital Systems is developing the Solaris X rocket to take passengers into orbit around Earth.

"If somebody is interested in really the ultimate adventure, this is it," says Interorbital Systems co-founder Randa Milliron.
The scientists involved in both orbital and suborbital projects predict that, if all goes well, space tourists could soon be floating weightless, gazing back at the planet.
"I think we'll see people buying tickets in the next 3 to 5 years," Diamandis says. The rides won't be cheap, however. Tickets could start at $200,000 a trip.
Still, who knows? Although you can't make it this winter, maybe you could celebrate your high school graduation in space. Start saving your pennies now!

Rick Perry 2012: 'The Great Campaigner' from Texas Monthly
Texas Monthly delivers an image destined to be one of the iconic illustrations of the cycle: a movie poster-style rendering of Perry as "The Great Campaigner."
Illustrator Tyler Jacobson used the poster for "National Lampoon's Vacation" as the model, except instead of two blondes clinging to the legs of Chevy Chase, it's Mitt Romney and Michele Bachmann hanging onto Rick Perry.Continue Reading
The text at the top: "Before SETTING HIS SIGHTS on the White House, RICK PERRY WON TEN STRAIGHT contested elections, DEFEATING, among others, a chicken farmer, several multimillionaires, and a sitting United States senator. HOW DOES HE keep WINNING? We asked his PAST OPPONENTS what it's like to RUN AGAINST … THE GREAT CAMPAIGNER."

Pakistan ministry demands television station shutdown in shooting row
Published on Apr 23, 2014 3:27 PM
ISLAMABAD (AFP) - Pakistan's defence ministry has asked for the country's top-rating television channel to be shut down after it broadcast allegations blaming an intelligence agency for shooting a leading journalist, officials said Wednesday.
The ministry wrote to the Pakistan Electronic Media Regulatory Authority (Pemra) late on Tuesday asking it to cancel the broadcasting licence of Geo television and take legal action against its staff.
The move comes after Geo aired claims that Pakistan's powerful Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) agency was behind the shooting of top anchor Hamid Mir in Karachi on Saturday.
Mr Mir, who hosts a primetime current affairs chat show on Geo and is probably Pakistan's best-known journalist, is currently recovering after being shot at least three times in his car. After the attack Geo aired comments by Mr Mir's brother Amir Mir, also a journalist, saying the ISI was to blame.

My favorite games
15 games in my gaming history that I've enjoyed.
15 games in my gaming history that I've enjoyed.
First game I ever owned.
Got it the first day it came out and is probably my favorite multiplayer fps.
I liked this game but unfortunately lag for the first 3 months after launch made this game pretty unplayable. The campaign was one of the best I've played.
Havent played that much due to my xbox redringing but I already like it alot.
My favorite racing game. Also the only racing game I ever one-hundred percented.
I liked the story mode in this and the multiplayer was very simplistic but fun at the time.
Normally would be higher up but since this game is pretty badly unbalanced, its lower on this list.
My first grand theft auto game that I really liked and played through story. Still have yet to beat it though.
Still hoping for a sequel, this game I would actually love for a Wii remake. I played the shit out of this game. Beat it four times and finally got the A rank. The bosses in this game were really creative.
This game was fun for awhile and than slowly became boring. recon class is awesome.
Before I had current gen systems this game along with midnight club was one of the only games I played on my ps2.
Played this on ps2 as well, I liked it for awhile until it broke on me.
Owned Pokemon blue it was my first video game. I bought it right along with my game boy color.
This game goes on here because before Live and PSN was around my friends would come over plug in 4 gamecube controllers and than have a huge free for all. I was pretty good with Luigi
my first and only computer game, but I enjoyed playing it for a while because my lightning sorcerer became useless on hell difficulty.

Jancc: Who cares about wifi control/geo tagging etc if Canon fits another bad sensor into the camera... in case you don't aware of it, almost all of their current DSLR lineup suffer from the banding noise issue (5Dm2/7D/60D/600D/550D, not sure about the 5Dm3 though).
Hope they've fixed the problem in this model ...
I totally agree. if they can do decent pics at those ISO numbers, sign me up!

The Bobcats were up 7-3 with just over seven minutes left in the third quarter, but seven straight goals by Ohio State cost the Bobcats the victory. Jack Oppenheimer had four goals and two assists but the Bobcats fall to 4-2, 1-2 in ECAC play.
Mario Ventiquattro and Logan Schuss each scored twice during the Buckeyes 7-0 run. Schuss also added three assists during the run.
The game was close, with the Bobcats leading 4-2 at the half before going on a 3-1 run to start the second half to expand to a 7-3 lead. After that the Buckeyes took over and went on their run.
Oppenheimer scored with a minute and a half left to cut the lead to two, but it was not enough.
Todd Kaiser was the only other multiple goals scorer for the Bobcats, adding two. Christian Haggerty added a goal of his own in the loss.

Leaving the Military? Make Sure Your Health is Covered
In many ways, it seems like only yesterday that I made the decision to take off my uniform and make the leap from military life to the civilian world. While I remember it being an exciting time, I also felt a little uncertain about the road ahead and needed some answers... For starters, many of the benefits I took for granted on active duty now fell squarely in my lap – like health insurance. What was I going to do about that?
If you're separating from service but not retiring, the health care you may have griped about -- but was always there -- becomes a thing of the past. Health insurance will now become your responsibility and with it will come some significant financial implications. I don't think I'll ever forget the shock I felt when I learned that under my new civilian health insurance, having a child was going to cost us $2,200. And that was 16 years ago!
I was lucky enough to transition from the military directly to a job in corporate America that came with fairly robust health-care coverage (the previously mentioned $2,200 childbirth expense notwithstanding.) But that's not always the case, especially in today's challenging job market. To help ease your transition, let's look at what the military makes available as you shift to civilian life:
Transitional Assistance Management Program (TAMP).
This program is only available if you meet certain conditions – for example, if you join the Guard or Reserve or were involuntarily retained or separated. If you're eligible, TAMP will provide you with TRICARE coverage for 180 days following your departure from active duty. If you're in a TRICARE Prime service area, you may be able to enroll, otherwise, you'll be covered under TRICARE Standard. The TRICARE website provides a complete rundown of the coverage and costs, but they are the same as for active-duty family members. This bridge coverage may be all you'll need until you get hooked up with a new plan under your post-military employer.
Continued Health Care Benefit Program (CHCBP)
If you're not eligible for TAMP and haven't found coverage through a new employer, CHCBP can provide 18 months of coverage (in some cases up to 36 months.) You have to enroll within 60 days of losing entitlement to either TRICARE or TAMP. However, the BIG difference is that you pay for this coverage.
For 2014, the cost is $1,193 per quarter for individuals and $2,682 per quarter for families. That's a significant expense to weave into your budget. The coverage is similar to TRICARE Standard, so in addition to the monthly premium, you could also have expenses associated with the care you receive.
Let USAA help you plan your transition
TRICARE Reserve Select (TRS).
Those who decide to continue to serve in the National Guard or Reserve may take advantage of TRS. For only $51.68 per month (or $204.29 for a family) you can purchase coverage similar to TRICARE Standard. That's a really good deal while you're serving in the Guard or Reserve and is certainly something to consider as you weigh continued service.
Department of Veterans Affairs Health Care Benefits
Finally, you may choose to use the VA for health care benefits. Generally, the VA will only provide care for the service member. The VA prioritizes care based on a number of factors including financial need. To take advantage of VA benefits you must apply. For five years following separation, combat veterans can receive enhanced eligibility and care for conditions related to their in-theater service.
In the end, leaving the military can be an exciting time, but don't get so caught up in the excitement (or overwhelmed!) that you lose sight of some important details. When it comes to health care there's only one non-negotiable: protecting you and your family.

Sonic Youth
Slaapkamers Met Slagroom EP
Smells Like
WITH ITS DUTCH nomenclature and austere aqua-on-white packaging, the new Sonic Youth EP has the look of a record you might stumble upon during a trip through Central Europe. "Look what I bought for $40 in Prague!" yon hipster says as he files it next to his Japan-only copy of the Boredom's Soul Discharge. But fret not: Released on drummer Steve Shelley's Smells Like label, this is as easy to find as the new Mariah Carey, though not quite as accessible. Over the course of three songs rambling over 30 minutes, the band make dense, expansive, free-rock whoopy. A major rock band hasn't come out with something this groovily unlistenable since SY's hero Neil Young released his feedback opus Arc six years ago.
Opening with an unbearable blast of static like none this band has unearthed in over a decade--or since all they played were unbearable blasts of static--"Slaapkamers Met Slagroom" is 17 minutes of dissonant, amorphous space-jamming, spliced together into what, for better or worse, listens like an angry waterspout. It's a freak show, but not the pure noise-on-noise skronk session you'd expect. The seven-minute "Still" is unsettlingly quiet, deriving its energy from Shelley's refusal to play a steady beat to Thurston Moore and Lee Ranaldo's digressive feedback wash.
What comes across is pure wanker-come-home. This is the no-wave Sonic Youth, the band born out of the din of Glenn Branca's heathen "guitar-symphonies." Yet, this is also the band that's been on tour with R.E.M., the band that's sold records. This music is as mature as it is maligned. It's also human: The coolest sound on this freaky little guitar record comes on the disc-ending afterthought "Herinneringen," when Kim Gordon moans "guitar/blow up/dada dada," a hunk of babble that essentially sums up the history of the band she plays in. The next line is a whispered plea: "please believe me." It's a beautiful advertisement.
Right after she says it, the record ends on a dime, and you're left hanging. I can't wait to see what they do next.

Thompson caught his only two passes this season in the opener and has not played since Week 3.
Coty Sensabaugh (knee) and Taylor Thompson (knee) were labeled doubtful, while Quentin Groves (ankle) was deemed questionable. Meanwhile, Shonn Greene (hamstring) and Ropati Pitoitua (hand) were ruled probable, along with Locker.
Also doubtful are cornerback Coty Sensabaugh and tight end Taylor Thompson, both with knee injuries. Defensive end Ropati Pitoitua (hand) is questionable while safety George Wilson (calf) is probable.
Deemed questionable were cornerback Coty Sensabaugh (knee), tight end Taylor Thompson (knee), cornerback Blidi Wreh-Wilson (concussion) and quarterback Jake Locker (right thumb).
Tight end Delanie Walker (shoulder) and defensive tackle Jurrell Casey (foot) were the only players listed probable against the Jaguars.
The healthy scratches are quarterback Zach Mettenberger, wide receiver Kris Durham, linebacker James Anderson, defensive tackle DaQuan Jones and tackle Byron Stingily.
Also probable are defensive tackle Jurrell Casey (foot) and defensive end Ropati Pitoitua (knee). Tight end Taylor Thompson (knee) is doubtful while cornerback Blidi Wreh-Wilson (concussion) is questionable.
Included are quarterback Jake Locker (wrist) and tight end Delanie Walker (shoulder), both of whom are questionable. Also on the list are defensive end Ropati Pitoitua (knee) and tight end Taylor Thompson (knee), both of whom are doubtful. Linebacker James Anderson (thigh) is probable.
"I think Taylor Thompson has come along," Michael said. "He's still young to the position, with changing from defensive end, and I know we've talked about those things and at some point, he's got to put that behind him and move forward and be a tight end and I think he's making steps toward doing that and working hard every day. He's a big receiving threat who is a strong, physical guy and just has to put it all together. He's done a good job through OTAs and minicamp. We've just got to keep making those strides in training camp and into the season."
Thompson was targeted just one time, when he scored from 9 yards out on a reception from Ryan Fitzpatrick. It was his lone catch of the game.

Feds Took Down 132 Websites, Just Like Rep. Zoe Lofgren Said They Would
Happy Cyber Monday everyone! Everyone, that is, except for the owners of the 132 websites taken down by the government today. You all are probably pretty bummed. The websites were seized by a joint effort between the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and officials from several European countries in an attempt to crack down on counterfeit goods being sold online. This is exactly the sort of thing House Representative Zoe Lofgren was asking for help about on Reddit last week. Read More

Urban Meyer, and his football program, just can't seem to catch a break.
A local Ohio pizza parlor employee was fired as a result of comments that he made regarding Ohio State's defensive play. Though the firing seems absurd, he may have voiced his displeasure to the wrong person.
According to NBC sports, the incident occurred when the wife of defensive coordinator, and former interim head coach, Luke Fickell called to order food. When the man realized who was on the other end of line, he told reporters, he made the comment "you know, we really should improve on our tackling because it's… it's… it's really bad right now."
Though the comment was received by Mrs. Fickell with a chuckle, apparently it didn't sit well with somebody else.
The Fickell family did not call and complain about the man's comment, rather they were contacted to ask if the incident had actually occured. After it was confirmed the unidentified man was fired on the spot.
Ohio State has become a hotbed of controversy in recent years, and though this may seem small, occurrences like this aren't making life any easier for its new head coach. Fickell refused to be interviewed regarding the incident, but Ohio State is adamant that he was not in any way responsible for the employee's firing.
Though the man may not have a future in pizza he may have one in football. Just a few days after the incident the Buckeyes nearly lost a one-point thriller to Michigan State, you guessed it, due to poor tackling.
Pizza Guy should realize he's just a Stupid Pizza Guy and keep his stupid (i.e. not funny) comments to himself.
The truth hurts huh? Moron.
First the guy is smart. OSU defense sucks. This is the land of free speech not the Ayatollahs.
Who is the moron now?
sounds like you are a real knuckle walker; perhaps you should have had a job with Penn State, and cheered on Jerry while he was buggering kids in the shower
That's a pretty big stretch, don't you think?
That's just it. He didn't think.
ChiefEagle, Seriously? You went there. Hate to tell you, but most "stupid pizza guys" do it part time. I am a pizza guy, because I need the extra money to help raise my three kids because my ex doesn't pay her child support, or help out in any way, and I have an MBA with a 3.87 GPA. I do not consider myself stupid! Not to mention; have you ever heard of the first ammendment? My guess is unless he is in a "no fault" state, he can file a claim with the labor board, at a minimum.
ChiefEagle, this is your boss. Quit f--king off on the internet on company time or you're fired.
y don't u shut ur pie hole ChefEagle!
You stupid, rude person, At least he's not sitting on his butt like some people do. I also think that pizza place went way over board. What he did was quite innocent.
Now ask me if I care, sweido.
It just dawned on me, sweido, that you don't know the difference between a discussion board and a pizza parlor. People go to discussion boards to voice their opinions. It kind of adds something to the discussion when people discuss things. People don't usually call a pizza parlor to get some random, uneducated pizza guy's ignorant, pointless opinion about how well they're doing they're job. Do you understand or do you need further education?
ChiefEagle, you sound a bit like an egotistical snob. How do you know how well educated the pizza employee is? It is quite possible that he has more letter after his name than you do. With your self centered remarks it wouldn't surprize me a bit... Being a Buckeye fan myself I find your remarks insensitive and not well thought out at all.
You are assuming he is uneducated due to attending Ohio State?
the pizza guy knows more about OSU defense that the former lame duck head coach that now coaches the defense....The new name for the OSU defense is " the eleven stiffs"
First the guy is smart. OSU defense sucks. This is the land of free speech not the Ayatollahs.
Who is the moron now?
A discussion board is to give your opinions, not to put people down. Maybe you should think about taking a finesse class. You are not a very nice person at all!
Chiefeagle and the pizza guy have a right to their comments. He must be a democrat, else he would understsnd the American process.
Wow, you really are defensive, Yamahammer.
The Pizza Boss is obviously a communist.
Hey chiefeagle...get back to work...the fries r burning.
You are a sick puppy!
Really? You must be an idiot. The right to comment, yes...the right to deliver poor service, no. He got fired because he stepped out of line with a customer.
Okay let's deal in reality here. Who's the real idiot? The pizza boy didn't get fired because of poor service. The pizza boy got fired because the owner is worried that his business will be black balled by the devout OSU fans. I'm not a fan nor do I live in that area of the country. However having played football in a college town I do understand the local loyalty provided by ususally, small businesses. I can also respect that loyalty as it is typically returned by the community. Let's just put it this way had Michigan been in town and their D/C was ordering a pizza himself, and the pizza boy made the same comment he probably would've been promoted to assistant manager....not fired. Now unlike a lot of you on here I won't comment on his intelligence as I've never even met the guy. Hell my best guess is that he's probably a die hard fan that actually thought his opinon mattered and meant no ill will at all. Nonetheless I will say this without knowing him. Obviously he's not very aware of his surroundings or the culture that goes with it. Even I could've told him bad move dude and I've never even been in the area....
No, you are wrong. When pizza guy says something that harms the business reputation or can be construed to disparage a customer, he can be fired. I would definitely fire one of my employees if they made a stupid comment like that to a client of mine. He is a pizza guy, pure and simple, keep his non-pizza comments to himself.
Perhaps the grease from the local pizza joint is a contributing factor to OSU's poor tackling performance.
love it when some idiot with no knowledge or experience in something can critisize someone else just because that someone else voiced their opinion. Do you agree chiefeagle
If Ohio State or this coach didn't have him fired...then that Pizza Parlor manager did. Why? Did he think that customers wouldn't return due to his comments? IF that's the case, then he is perfectly within his right. I doubt he had a contract to work at this pizza joint. I think his firing is ridiculous regardless!
You should be able to order a pizza, with out the help getting into your face.Take the order like you get payed to do and that is it. Then say thank you for your order,and ask her if there is anything else she wants. then hang up, the phone.
I think there are a few stupid pizza guys reading this article.
And one writing it.
By the way how many degrees to you have?
Its you!!! You brought my pizza last night!!
i heard Chiefeagle likes a big uncut sausage on his pizza.
If they thought the pizza sucked they would have called to complain, so why can't the pizza guy complain, or more or less make a suggestion, especialy when he's right on target. We fans spend big bucks for the tickets so why can't we complain? It's also freedom of speech. I hope the coach feels bad.
1. The pizza guy is not calling the coach's wife ordering football.
2. The WIFE doesn't need to be getting snarky comments when she is ordering her pizza.
3. If the manager or owner deems that his business is going to suffer for that kind of behavior, he has every right to make a change.
4. If you don't like the product on the field, vote with your dollar and stop spending money on it.
You must be on something illegal to even think that Urban or any of his cronies would even begin to care about anyone else.
He is probably laughing his hinie off as we speak. If any of those clowns in Columbus were half a man they would have backed him and said "Yes, we need to tackle better". They didn't so what does that tell you?
He works for a business that provides a product to the whole city.Fans of every type of sport.When they call in they should not be confronted by people on the phone.He should take there order and thats it.
He should voice his displesure in a talk room on the net
Being confronted vs. having something said in jest are two different things. She wasn't harassed so calm down.
However, the owner was definitely within his rights to fire the employee if he believes that his behavior was unprofessional and didn't like it.
And you should learn how to spell "displeasure".
Ohio knows it's true. Pretty touchy.
From what I have read it was the manager or owner of the pizza place that fired the employee. I'm sure he didn't think the employee was representing his company in a positive manner. When you are serving the public you must keep your opinions to yourself or you run the risk of being fired. He should have voiced his opinion somewhere else and not to the customer. Hopefully this will be a learning experience for this employee,and if not well he got his 15 minutes of fame from it.
It just goes to show just like his nephew, Andrew, Luke needs to learn a few manners. Because without their legions of idiot pizza guys, sorry i mean fans, OSU is nothing more than an over rated joke.
Hey youn are on to something here. I like your way of thinking.
He should be fired because (possibly) the owner believed that his behavior was unprofessional? Give me a physical break! Is she didn't like the comment (as innocent as it was reported) then she should have patronized a different pizza shop. People don't have to keep their opinions confined to opinion forums. Nerds, it's a football game for God's sake.
The pizza guy is right and if people can't handle criticism agianst their team they should move on. I ranted all night on FB about the OSU defense. Nebraska should have never scored 38 points.
LOl....Keep the pizza guy, and fire Luke Fickell!!!!
Does anybody else remember when this used to be America, the Land of Free Speech.
In the end, the pizza guy was right. Deal with it. Who ever was responsible for the firing should not be afraid to admit it. But since it is what it is....those responsible are hiding because it is chicken s&*%)t. The coach should be man enough to agree that the team has poor tackling skills and try to improve on it, not get a working guys job (who apparently has a better grasp on the teams short falls)and WOW you showed him whos BOSS didnt you! You sir, are a JERK!
What? What? The coaches wife and family didn't complain.
What? What?
Lots of class Ohio State...getting a guy fired in these bad economic times? And dont anyone think for a moment OSU wasn't behind him getting fired. I hope they lose every game for the rest of the season.
I guess if you can't handle the truth, you pick on a little guy to take the attention off of you. If the statement that was printed is in fact correct, then I don't see anything malicious in it. I only see a fan that wants to see his team do better and thought the best way to get his point across was take it to the source. But like anything else sh-- runs down hill and the little pizza guy just got some organic pizza sauce dumped on his pizza dough. I'm on his side, I thought the tackling sucked too.
This world is all a joke, Today you cant say 1 thing about anythig,we have all info on camera, pepole are so dum, everthing is on tape, I thing its great, and people thing that they can do whatever they want to do, no way will you get away with any bad or say anything, THAT someone said is wrong ???.
today you must think of all you do, and if anyone think that you will not get court, guest what YOU ARE WRONG, I think with all this its good to be safe for all !!!
have a great day.
Lot's of assumptions here. Maybe he had a history of making comments to customers and the manager told him to cease making them and 'take pizza orders'. We will probably never know it all and don't need to know. He's probably some college kid trying to help his parents out with his tuition - at least he's trying. Lesson learned. PS - Their tackling does stink.
Bahhh hhhhhaaaaa hhhhhaaaaa, who cares -- we're 6-0 fools!
That's right. Go Bucks!
All OSU really cares about is their stupid football program.
For what they are paying those morons they call coaches they should be able to accept some critisism especialy if it is TRUE!!!!!
You are right drew100 OSU's actions show just how much CLASS they really have, witch is absolutly NONE!!!!!!!
I have been an OSU fan for over 46 years but the way OSU has acted the last few years is horrible and I myself hope they lose every game the rest of the season and every coach there
gets his DUMB A** fired too. I worked for OSU for more than 16 years and the whole Dam* school is a giant freakin JOKE!!!!!!!!!!!! way to go OSU for showing the world just how ignorent you really are!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Normaly I would jump at the chance to trash out the Puke Eyes. But pizza guy should've kept comment to himself. It was a business transaction however small.
Although the manager has the right to terminate the employee, you gotta wonder how he found out the comment was even made. Unless he was standing right there. Wife of the coach should probably have thick enough skin that a comment like that wouldn't matter, but we all know Ohio sucks ass to begin with. In sports, as a state, etc. I mean, come on, Cincinnati even thinks it's the chili capital of the "woild". Toledo bulldozed the Willy's plant. Bitch Puleeeze. People fly OVER ohio if they need to get to Michigan. People drive AROUND Ohio when they go on vacation. And you're not gonna convince me someone from Ohio State didn't lean on the guy's boss. The pizza guy may be a total imbecile, but regarding Ohio's performance, he was right. Ohio's just not worthy of pizza or football. Or beer.
Ah come on now, give the man his job back. Looks to me like this coach's wife is nothing more than a hick married to a kick, just another pretend star who thinks he's a big man..
Pizza BOY, you really should improve your knowledge base because, as an at-will employee, you can be fired for any reason (except discrimination) or NO reason. You're, you're, you're REALLY STUPID.
The longer I live, the more I just don't understand people. Are we really this shallow as a people where a person makes a comment and we tell him he's stupid (Especially when it seems like he was right)? We care more about what he says and we don't care about a life? With this type of attitude we will no longer make any progress because people will be afraid to state their opinions.
iTS A SHAME THIS PUBLICATION DIDN'T HAVE THE GUTS TO NAME THIS PIZZA PLACE AND IF A NATIOPNAL CHAIN AS THIS MAN LOSING HIS JOB IS AN INFRINGEMENT ON 'FREEDOM OF SPEECH' AND AS A RULE OF THUMB 'OHIO FOOTBALL SUCKS' TO SAY THE LEAST
nEW eNGLAND pATRIOTS ARE THE BEST TEAM IN FOOTBALL WITH bRADY ITS ALL TIME GREATEST PLAYER, IF i KNEW TRHE PIZZA'S CHAIN NAME i'D NEVER GO THERE GEE WE CAN'T EVEN VOICE AN OPINION ANYMORE
Screw all you "freedom of speech" morons. I own the business and can fire you for any reason I like. You don't like that, then start your own business. This moron employee shouldn't be making stupid comments to customers. That infringes on MY business reputation and therefore I have the right to fire him.
Are you kidding. Of course someone called to complain. Otherwise, how did the Pizza Company know to call the coach to ask if something was said? They don't call randomly to ask if employees were rude.
That being said. Unless the comment was solicited, the Pizza Guy should not have said anything negative as a part of good and positive service. However, he should not have gotten fired either for such a ridiculous thing, unless he had a history of other issues.
Another article said that noone called to complain, it was a co-worker at the pizza place that told.
Hey, if the guy's boss owns the pizza place, he has the right to fire the guy for insulting a customer. Guy should have kept his mouth shut and just done his job. I would fire one of my staff if they made a disparaging remark to a client of mine.
So much for free speech. Somebody needs to kick his boss in his pepperonis
Iacono's Pizza in Shawnee. USA Today said that Fickell laughed at the time but then called back and told the manager that she would "never order pizza from them again". Bitch.
Of course there are two different stories now.
well...you gotta feel real good about yourself gettin the pizza guy fired!! espescially in today's economy!! you know...if you DONT get your defense fixed,you could be the next one getting fired!!!
I do not think the pizza guy should've made the comment...however right he may be, it just wasn't necessary. That being said, I think firing him "on the spot" was a little harsh. I mean ok, he made a dumb comment, give him a verbal warning...next offense, you write him up...then you fire him. I mean really!!! And I agree, they had to have complained...I thought it said he told someone, but it was reporters, so obviously after the firing. But we don't know, maybe the employee had a history of this kind of behavior, or other "bad" issues & this was the straw that broke the camel's back!
I think it's called "Implied Consent". By wearing the Pizza Parlor's uniform, or clearly working in the Pizza Parlor, outsiders may legally consider Pizza Guy's opinions as also managements. This could easily hurt the Parlor's reputation. Lucky he didn't say anything slanderous.
The flip side to this is, would you now want to go to this Pizzeria now that you know the management does not tolerate a person's right to freedom of speech? That being said, I would, because people are people and we all make mistakes. It's how we tolerate other people's mistakes. I know I would rather forgive and tolerate, then get angry and fire/boycott.
send th 2nd stringers to joker phillips
There are two different stories out there. Iacanno's has great pizza, so I doubt they would stop ordering from them based on one comment. I tend to find the story about the pizza company finding out about the story and verifying it. My guess is the self-absorbed pizza guy bragged to his co-workers about what he did and one of them passed it on to the boss. The boss then called the family to verify the story. Were they supposed to lie and say it didn't happen? All of you "freedom of speech" people need to go back to high school. That only applies to the government punishing people. Employers can do whatever they want if they don't like what you say -- especially while you are on the clock. Ohio State didn't get anyone fired. This idiot got himself fired because he treated a customer poorly. Hopefully he has learned the lesson that there is a proper time to express your opinion. It is not when someone is paying for you to provide customers with a service.
Im not sure if every one is reading the same article or not but I read that the pizza guy stated, "we need to improve our tackling". I hardly find this offensive,abusive, slanderous or a reason to be fired. I know there is problably more to the story, but im sure coaches here far worse things out in the public. Fans get into sports and it can be very emotional. There is a time and place for comments. Nobody knows in which context the comment was made. An emotional losing coach, after a game could be just as harshly convicted of the crime of which the pizza guy is (if this is the origin of the complaint). It would be interesting to find out however just how this came to be. Then the real story unfolds. Remember, this guy has been fired for stating what analysts are problably saying right now on national tv. Should these people be fired as well? For all the same reasons that every one of these comments listed about this article have stated? Or every one that has made comments on this blog, should you be fired too for your comments? Think about it. Why just him??
Maybe the coach should hire the pizza guy to coach his defense? I hear he is looking for work...
and vice versa...This way the ex-coach can tell the ex-pizza guy how he's doing....
ALL of you retards here and everywhere out there that think the
pizza guy should have been fires make me sick and sorry that me and my family served in our millitary to PROTECT YOUR FREEDOM OF SPEECH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And to the jack ass that owns the Iacono's pizza place this is one family that will never again by pizza from your peice of SH*T pizza shop. So there, you just lost a customer and more will certinly follow. Now was the coach's buisiness worth it dumb A**.

New research published Tuesday has more of this bad news. The study by Stefan Rahmstorf, Grant Foster and Anny Cazenave appears in Environmental Research Letters. They used satellite data from 1993-2011 to measure the rise in sea level, a technique that works better tide gauges:
[T]he rise in CO2 concentration and global temperature has continued to closely match the projections [of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change's models] over the past five years, while sea level continues to rise faster than anticipated. The latter suggests that the 21st Century sea-level projections of the last two IPCC models. reports may be systematically biased low. Further support for this concern is provided by the fact that the ice sheets in Greenland and Antarctica are increasingly losing mass [...] while those IPCC projections assumed that Antarctica will gain enough mass in future to largely compensate mass losses from GreenlandThe three scientists said average sea levels are rising at a rate of 3.2mm a year. That contrasts with computer-model estimates of 2mm a year presented by the IPCC just five years ago. That 60 percent higher rate may not sound like much, but sea-level rise is already presenting problems for coastal cities. Princeton University climate professor Michael Oppenheimer says the rise that has already occurred made the impacts associated with Hurricane Sandy worse than they would otherwise have been.
"Generally people are coming around to the opinion that this is going to be far worse than the IPCC projections indicate," said Grant Foster, a US-based mathematician who worked on the paper with German climatologist Stefan Rahmstorf.In the United States alone, there are tens of millions of people living in those hotspots. Just a one foot rise in sea level would put inhabitants of these areas at risk for having what now are devastating once-a-century storms into once-a-decade occurrences. An interactive map at Climate Central's Surging Seas website explores the incremental impacts of a rise in sea level from one to 10 feet in all the coastal states except Alaska and Hawaii. And here is a map for the whole world.
The implications are serious—especially for coastal areas of the US. Large portions of America's Atlantic and Pacific coasts are regarded as "hotspots" for sea-level rise, with water levels increasing at twice the rate of most other places on the planet.
A Climate Central report in March 2012, Sea level rise, storms & global warming's threat to the U.S. coast, concluded:
Rising seas dramatically increase the odds of damaging floods from storm surges. For more than two-thirds of the locations analyzed (and for 85% of sites outside the Gulf of Mexico), past and future global warming more than doubles the estimated odds of "century" or worse floods occurring within the next 18 years — meaning floods so high they would historically be expected just once per century. For more than half the locations analyzed, warming at least triples the odds of century-plus floods over the same period. And for two-thirds of the locations, sea level rise from warming has already more than doubled the odds of such a flood even this year.Climate change, of course, knows no national boundaries. Around the world, hundreds of millions of people will be affected, many of them losing their livelihood or being injured or killed. Meanwhile, the costs of repairing storm damage and taking preventive measures will—not might—run into the trlllions of dollars. The longer the wait to take action to reduce the impacts of sea-level rise and other climate-change effects, the worse the consequences, including the economic consequences.
These increases are likely to cause an enormous amount of damage. At three quarters of the 55 sites analyzed, century levels are higher than 4 feet above the high tide line. Yet across the country, nearly 5 million people live in 2.6 million homes at less than 4 feet above high tide. In 285 cities and towns, more than half the population lives on land below this line, potential victims of increasingly likely climate-induced coastal flooding. 3.7 million live less than 1 meter above the tide. [...]
The population and homes exposed are just part of the story. Flooding to four feet
would reach higher than a huge amount of dry land, covering some 3 million acres of
roads, bridges, commercial buildings, military bases, agricultural lands, toxic waste dumps, schools, hospitals, and more. Coastal flooding made worse by global warming and rising seas promises to cause many billions of dollars of damage over
the coming decades.
Every time the delegates meeting in Doha, Qater, for the 18th U.N. Climate Change Conference this week and next hear someone say we shouldn't move "too fast" for fear of disrupting the global economy, they might think about the costs of not moving fast enough, human and financial.
DWG has a discussion on the subject here.

That number is down ten percent from 2012.
Although it's improving, officials say it could be lower which is why they're taking extra measures to keep drivers safe.
"One of the things we've done is try to incorporate safety aspects into the new projects we've implemented," said Mike Rinehart.
The MODOT engineer said those improvements include adding shoulder ramps, median guard cables and rumble strips.
But they say adding new improvements is only half of it but the rest is up to drivers.
"We would like to see the operators of drivers drive safely and that means staying alert. Not texting and driving and doing things that make for safe driving for everyone," added Rinehart.
Distracted drivers and those not wearing seat belts were the top two factors of fatality deaths last year.
Sergeant Sheldon Lyon with the Missouri Highway Patrol says driving is a serious task.
"Your chance of being in a crash goes up anytime you divide your attention. Your eyes are looking at the road but where's your mind at," said Lyon.
Texting and driving is only illegal for those drivers under the age of twenty-one but says its dangerous for everyone.
"We just ask that people if they want to drive they drive and if they want to use their phone and send messages and those type of activities that has it's place but certainly not while they're driving," added Lyon.
He says they're not done just yet working to keep you safe and it's their number one priority.
Sot:" have we gone in the right direction...You bet but we still, until that number is 0 we're still not finished and so our mission continues"
Authorities say of those killed last year...63 percent weren't wearing seat belts.
Kansas also released its report on fatal traffic crashes from 20-13.
The department of transportation also saw an all time low with 344 traffic deaths.

Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection affects approximately 170,000,000 people worldwide. HCV liver disease, which may induce liver inflammation, cirrhosis, and/or hepatocellular carcinoma, represents the foremost reason for liver transplantation in much of the U.S.
Study of HCV replication within liver cells, or hepatocytes, has been hampered by a lack of adequate virus culture systems. Some systems allow the virus to infect cells but do not permit prolonged replication and production of virus, while other systems rely on derivatives of permissive virus isolates for efficient replication in transformed (mutated) cell lines. Still lacking has been a system to sustain replication of novel virus isolates from patients using nontransformed hepatocytes.
Nelson Fausto of the University of Washington School of Medicine has crossed this hurdle using a human fetal hepatocyte culture system that was previously developed in his lab. Using this system, his group has demonstrated sustained replication and production of virus particles for at least 2 months, with these virus particles able to infect new cells.
In their first experiments, Fausto and colleagues transfected hepatocyte cultures with HCV genomic RNA and found replication of HCV RNA genomes and production of core protein (for virus particle formation). Release of infectious virus particles was confirmed, as media from these cells were able to infect naive hepatocytes. Finally, virus particles were examined by electron microscopy an

The economic recovery in Asia is faster than the rest of the world and is projected to grow by 5.75 per cent during 2010, says the International Monetary Fund.
"The region (Asia) is out pacing other parts of the world, with the "green shoots" of recovery appearing earlier and taking firmer roots than elsewhere," the IMF said in its regional economic outlook on Thursday.
IMF forecasts suggest Asia will grow by 5.75 per cent in 2010, higher than the 1.25 per cent predicted for the G—7 economies, but short of the 6.66 per cent average recorded for the region over the past decade.
"Asian economies have been very strong in their stimulus from both monetary and fiscal sources," IMF Asia and Pacific Department Director Anoop Singh said.
Pointing out that Asia's outlook would be closely tied to the global economy, the report, however, warned that the continued weak global demand would have a considerable impact on the region's future growth because of heavy dependence on exports.
"Asia has boomed as America's consumption outpaced its income. If over the coming decade, US consumption slows markedly, the impact on Asia's growth could be sizeable," the report warned.
It added that over the longer-term, Asia's future prospects would depend on the region's success in allowing domestic sources to play an important role in promoting growth.
