Despite digital integration and innovation, Meg Whitman's failed CA governor campaign spent just 3 percent of its overall ad budget on Web ads.
As the 2010 election season heated up, media buyers in California said prices for TV, online, and other media were increasing and inventory was becoming scarce. Despite the fact that there were several statewide races and ballot measures in California, many blamed one candidate: Meg Whitman.
The Republican gubernatorial candidate's campaign used a variety of display and video ad messages - as well as custom ads on Pandora, splashy ads on LATimes.com, SFGate, and Hulu, and a controversial e-mail sent to DailyCandy subscribers - to sway voters, counteract attacks, and drive people to the polls.
In all, Whitman - who lost her bid for California governor to the state's former Governor Jerry Brown, spent $3 million on digital advertising efforts, according to Smart Media Group, the firm that handled Whitman's online ads. It is most likely the largest online ad buy of any statewide candidate campaign yet. By comparison, last year's New Jersey governor hopefuls each spent well under $1 million on digital ads. And this year, in its online get-out-the-vote push aimed at key voting groups in competitive races across the country, the Democratic National Committee spent $2.5 million.
Considering Whitman's tech industry background as former CEO of eBay, it's not surprising her campaign team showed a commitment to digital media integration. According to Kyle Roberts, Smart Media Group president, the online and traditional media buys "worked off the same media plan." Roberts and Smart Media's digital media manager John Britten worked closely with the Whitman camp's Media and Marketing Manager Alexa Andrews and Art Director Richard De La Rosa, explained Roberts and Britten.
Britten said he communicated with Andrews "five or six times a day" to discuss the digital ads.
However, while the Whitman camp dropped millions on online ads and took a relatively innovative approach to digital, the big spender allocated only around 3 percent of the overall $100 million ad budget to the Web. Indeed, most 2010 election campaigns spent 5 percent or less of their ad budgets online, regardless of a general increase in the acknowledgement of the Web's importance for political camaigns.
Wooing Women
Women were a key target of Whitman's ads. As the general election campaign kicked into gear during the late summer, half of the display ads delivered to RSS feed readers through the Pheedo network, and 40 percent of the ads placed on streaming music site Pandora, were targeted to women in California. A display ad seen in the TodayShow.com Parenting feed, for instance, stated, "Women are a driving force in California." Other ads featuring messages about taxes or building a new California were targeted to news and politics feed readers.
Unlike most political ads which are geared toward generating signups or raising funds, the campaign focused on building Whitman's brand as a new kind of leader, and persuading voters that she could bring jobs and a real change to the state.
Another attempt to target women online led the media seller to swear never to run another political ad. In late September, daily shopping deal newsletter DailyCandy delivered a dedicated e-mail message to its subscribers in California.
"We all know someone who has lost a job or is struggling to make ends meet. Maybe it's you. Californians want jobs, good schools, and a government that works for us," said the message. "Visit my website, MegWhitman.com, to learn more about my story, positive solutions, and plan to fix our state."
The e-mail resulted in negative comments from DailyCandy subscribers, prompting the company to tell The Atlantic that it would no longer carry political ads in its dedicated e-mails. The effort wasn't all negative for the campaign though. "The day we dropped that e-mail we saw a huge spike in site traffic," said Britten.
Battling Brown's Union Backers
Like some DailyCandy subscribers, typically liberal San Francisco voters do not normally embrace Republican messages, which is why GOP candidates usually don't spend a lot of money targeting San Francisco voters. As part of its "Jerry Fails" effort, the Whitman campaign ran a TV spot on SFGate - the online home of the San Francisco Chronicle - for about four days in late September. The interstitial style video unit appeared as users visited the news site home page. The ad featured a clip from a 1992 debate between President-to-be Bill Clinton and Brown, in which Clinton said Brown "doesn't tell the people the truth."
"We wanted to run it in the San Francisco market [where there were] a lot of on-the-fence voters that may respect Bill Clinton," said Britten, adding that the campaign "really wanted to push" the spot in San Francisco.
Another prong of the Whitman campaign was what Roberts called "counterpunching." Union groups like the California Labor Federation and others backed Brown, so Whitman aimed to portray Brown as a puppet of the unions. As the election season drew to a close in the last week of October, a rich media ad enabled by EyeWonder on LATimes.com prompted users to rollover to reveal Brown as he emerged from behind a curtain, dangling on puppet strings.
"Unions have spent over $20 million against Meg Whitman," said the ad, as the Brown puppet hung from the banner unit, hovering above LATimes home page content. The ad culminated with a video.
Whitman also battled scandal during her failed bid for governor. When a former housekeeper emerged to claim Whitman knew she was an illegal immigrant when she was working for her, a media frenzy ensued. The campaign took a measured response online. When the story broke, a banner ad ran on Drudge Report to "gauge the level of responsiveness," and essentially test the ad in case the story blew up, according to Britten. The campaign also "put more money toward paid keywords to buy [terms related to the scandal] and that was good for a few days," until the story died down, said Britten.
Zip Code Targeting for Early Voting
The third goal of the online campaign was to promote early voting and election day voting. Starting in late September, the Whitman camp targeted likely Republican voters online by Zip code, reminding them of early voting by mail. In particular, ads targeted Zip codes with a high probability of Republican voters and low turnout probability. "That became a key area to make sure no Republican was sitting this out," said Britten.
In all, not including Google and Facebook display ads and search ad buys, the Whitman camp ran more than 300 million standard Flash ad impressions using more than 40 different display ad creative concepts and more than 12 video ads, according to Britten.

Helpful content for beginning and intermediate photographers
It's a shame others have had a poor technical experience with this app, because the information and tips contained within are a great help for anyone interested in mastering Lightroom.
For the record, I'm on a 3rd Gen iPad, with iOS 6.1.3, and I had no trouble downloading the app itself. Once the app was installed, the first attempt at downloading the complimentary first issue failed, so I tried again and it worked fine. It took about 15 minutes to download that first issue (much too long, but at least it didn't stall out again), and I went on to buy the second issue, which took only about 5 minutes to download. The app hasn't crashed yet, but I haven't looked at every page of the two issues I've downloaded, so take that with a grain of salt.
Beyond the technical aspects of downloading and using the app, I've found each issue to have the typical professionalism and wealth of information one would expect from NAPP/Kelby Training. I would call myself a Lightroom "veteran", and I've still gleaned plenty of little tips to make my experience with Lightroom even better.
I'm sure this magazine will continue getting better, and I hope they can address the technical issues so that other users can benefit!
Good content, but the app looks like it's been abandoned by the author
Just downloaded this app and a couple back issues of interest. Certainly some great content that is educational and informative. But the app is sorely lacking and could use a serious update. It is not integrated with the Apple newsstand and the issue download times are significant. You have to leave the app open while downloading or it will time out. So plan your coffee breaks accordingly.
Worth downloading to get some new info on LR but don't look for much new content. There is little on LR 5 and as of this post, there has been nothing new written in nearly 7 months... the most recent issue is January 2014. So while it appears the author has lost interest, there is still good info on LR techniques to be gotten here for $5 a whack.
It works just fine, folks!
After reading so many negative reviews interspersed with users who had no problems with the app, I was intrigued and couldn't resist trying to download and purchase. The app downloaded and installed VERY quickly, as did the in-app purchase! I suspect the following culprits for those with problems: old iPad software versions and/or slow or unreliable Internet connections. I've had nasty problems with some mainstream publications in the past and I understand the frustration, believe me! Those demons just don't apply to Lightroom Magazine.

Knoxville (WVLT) - We've all seen them, Shriners, firefighters, even church members standing on the roads in busy intersections collecting money, but Tuesday night the Knoxville City Council took the first step to stop those donation drives on public streets.
The City Council passed an ordinance Tuesday banning the practice. Council members say it's for safety reasons and because they've received several calls from people who have witnessed a close call during the events, but for members of the Shriners organization who rely on these donation drives for nearly 40 percent of their budget, the ruling is a devastating blow.
I don't like knee jerk reactions to things there not been any type of incident in regard to this we think certainly there are ways to address it we don't feel like it's a safety concern we've complied with the ordinance up to this point currently wearing of safety and reflective and protective gear and being respectful of traffic," said Scott Jones, the Kerbela Shriners Legal Council.
City Council members will have a final vote in two weeks. The he ban would go into effect 17 days from the final vote.

It's one of the most powerful pain killing drugs on the market.
Now, the company that makes Oxycontin is looking to research the drug's effects on children.
Officials with Purdue Pharma say the move is needed to find out how the drug is metabolized and absorbed into the blood stream.
If the pain killers are already being prescribed to children, researchers need to make sure the drug is safe.
It's a move that has many, including Operation UNITE, saying is a bad idea.
"We have seen so much death and so much destruction i feel like most days here at operation unite we are just left picking up the carnage left in the wake of this problem." Karen Kelly, the director of Operation UNITE, told Mountain News.
Purdue Pharma also said in a statement that congress is encouraging companies to test drugs on kids because their physiologies are different, and as an incentive for doing the costly studies, the patent on the drug will be extended six months.

CHEERS to the proposal providing $3.5 million in tax-increment financing to help Hy-Vee put a supermarket on MacArthur Boulevard. The Springfield City Council put the measure on the aldermen's consent agenda for Tuesday, all but guaranteeing its approval.
CHEERS to the proposal providing $3.5 million in tax-increment financing to help Hy-Vee put a supermarket on MacArthur Boulevard. The Springfield City Council put the measure on the aldermen's consent agenda for Tuesday, all but guaranteeing its approval.
The K-Mart store that Hy-Vee would base its store upon has been vacant for too long, and getting a grocery store back on MacArthur will be a real boon for the neighborhood. City officials and members of the MacArthur Boulevard Business Association believe it will spur the redevelopment of the rest of the street, which is a state route.
This deal has long been in the making and alderman should approve it.
JEERS: While Congress and President Barack Obama acted last week to prevent federal income taxes from increasing on most Americans, every American saw or will see less money in their paycheck. That's because Obama and Congress did not extend a 2 percent payroll tax cut for Social Security aimed at stimulating the economy.
The 2009 stimulus bill cut the federal income tax by 2 percentage points. For 2012, Congress and the president ended that tax cut and enacted a new one that temporarily cuts the amount Americans pay for Social Security from 6.2 percent of their salaries to 4.2 percent. Because every American pays Social Security taxes, that tax cut was potentially more stimulative.
While taxes for the middle class would have gone up even more without the fiscal cliff deal, the Tax Policy Center pointed out that the end of the Social Security tax cut will take a bigger chunk out of middle-class people's paychecks than the tax increases enacted for those earning between $200,000 and $500,000.
Add to that the continuation of tens of billions in tax breaks for large corporations and interest groups, such as Hollywood movie studios and the owners of NASCAR trucks reported by The Wall Street Journal, and the fiscal cliff deal looks worse every day. Given the economy is still fragile, using such funds to extend a stimulative tax cut for all Americans another year would have made more sense.
CHEERS to the five-year anniversary of the statewide smoking ban. This page was a long-time champion of the ban, which went into effect in 2008.
There was no more rancorous debate in Springfield than when aldermen preceded their counterparts at the legislature by enacting an indoor smoking ban in 2006. But this law was perhaps the most important bill approved by city council members and legislators across Illinois in the first decade of the 21st century.
In the next few decades, it will save countless lives of people who quit or never start smoking from lung cancer and heart attacks. The share of Illinois adults who smoke dropped from 23.6 percent in 2003 to 21.3 percent in 2008, according to figures from the Department of Public Health. By 2010, it had dropped to 16.9 percent.
Page 2 of 2 - The smoking ban is about the public health of patrons and employees of businesses everywhere. There is no safe level of exposure to secondhand smoke, so lawmakers and the public must resist attempts to weaken the law by allowing smoking licenses for bars, fraternal clubs and casinos, as some have proposed over the last five years. The ban has worked well, and it needs to stay in place as it is.

"Crying is for girls"
I caught myself saying this to my almost 5-month old son today! Ack!
Lately I have found myself noticing how many gender dissing, violent and/or war-centric phrases we use in our language and coming up my own idioms.
"Crying is for girls." Implied meaning: "big" boys don't cry. It shows weakness and weakness is bad.
My alternative: "There's no crying in baseball." I probably shouldn't even use this phrase because crying powerfully expresses a wide range of emotions. But when I'm on my last nerve and Jonah is crying, I picture Tom Hanks in A League of Their Own and I start chuckling. And that's a good thing!
Killing two birds with one stone. Meaning: When you kill two birds with one stone, you resolve two difficulties or matters with a single action.
Killing is bad. So, instead I like to say I feed two birds with one piece of bread, neh?
Off to Stephen Lewis's speech. Will finish my post soon!
Jennifer Ruwart Chief Collaborator JR Collaborations
More women should realize how powerful they are and we should all START FIGHTING LIKE GIRLS by disallowing violence to ourselves, to our sisters, to our children, and to our brothers. If we stand and act together, we can change to way we are viewed in the world. But it takes work and a lot of effort. So remember next time you see a girl, a young or older woman, treat her nice. Show her respect and kindness. Just say "Hi" so that she can knows she has the support of her sisters and she is strong.

Other than that, good blog post. #1 Agree(6) | Disagree(2) | Report | Reply Digitaldude + 2091d ago I agree not sure about old reviews either. However my main thing I want is a section that only has official announcements, separating the opinions pieces to the facts. Also somehow punish the rabid ranboys eg bungie and all his accounts, purposely not trying to add anything to the conversation. #1.1 (Edited 2091d ago ) | Agree(2) | Disagree(2) | Report | Reply DanCrabtree + 2091d ago I second phnax. Some real solid points, but I don't mind a little retro gaming now and then. #1.2 Agree(2) | Disagree(0) | Report | Reply creamydingle + 2092d ago Dude I don't want N4G to change at all. The reason why I come to this site is to read the comments on the flamebait articles. I love seeing the fanboys going at each other and seeing how stupid they are. This site thrives on the xbots and SDF if you cleaned up the site to much you would lose 70 to 80 percent of the users. I say leave it the way it is and enjoy it the way its meant to be enjoyed FLAME ON fanboys. #2 (Edited 2092d ago ) | Agree(5) | Disagree(4) | Report | Reply LordMarius + 2092d ago i second that. N4G is perfect the way it is, sure more active mods would be helpful and the forums should be more active(maybe a redesign) but thats about it. This place is a jungle, you can not have order. #2.1 Agree(4) | Disagree(4) | Report | Reply Cold 2000 + 2092d ago "People like Bungie or Saaking can be one and only person even though their opinion is radically different. But they put so much effort to be ridiculous in their propaganda it simply cannot be possible they don't do it deliberately." You got it right for Bungie but believe it or not Saaking isnt playing a role. He is as serious as serious can be. #3 Agree(10) | Disagree(9) | Report | Reply Jinxstar + 2092d ago "A veto must exist" I like the idea but... It wouldn't matter. Because people would saveall their vetos for the best articles. Like Sony explaining why God of War 3 is only possible on the PS3 or why Halo Reach is only possible on the 360... So lets say I veto'd one of those for some reason. Some no name site would take the info and paste it on their site and submit it here as news... Now my veto is gone and thats it... #4 Agree(2) | Disagree(1) | Report | Reply CARRIERHASARRIVED + 2092d ago Active and more strict moderating as well as the deletion of the open zone is all the site really needs. Comments go in one place, and get deleted in one place. No fanboy venting anywhere except for their blogs. A neat addition to the heavier moderating would be: Fresh accounts should start off with a temporary bubble cap so the people who repeatedly create new accounts just to flame the comments sections over and over will have to go through hurdles to consistently troll and evade the mods (run-on sentence *PHEW*). Anyone making variant trolling accounts can have their minimized bubble count popped and they'd be silenced instantly. Then banned if need be. #5 Agree(0) | Disagree(1) | Report | Reply Jinxstar + 2092d ago Or they should do only 1 account per IP address... #5.1 Agree(5) | Disagree(0) | Report | Reply CARRIERHASARRIVED + 2092d ago That....would also work! hahaha. Some people might have a change of heart though! Surely perma-ban is a bit much?! #5.2 Agree(0) | Disagree(0) | Report | Reply Jinxstar + 2091d ago If they get perma banned they just make a new account... So 1 account per IP address but no perma banning. Just 1 month or so at a time... #5.3 Agree(0) | Disagree(0) | Report | Reply n4gn4gn4gn4g + 2091d ago @Jinxstar...So myself and my 3 brothers cant have individual accounts and individual thoughts? 1 Account per IP prevents families from participating. #5.4 (Edited 2091d ago ) | Agree(0) | Disagree(0) | Report | Reply Jinxstar + 2091d ago Well heck man. there is no easy solution for this. I mean you could charge people 5 dollar per account one time fee and then block them off their credit cards or something... Sure some people are gonna get screwed. If you get sent to the open zone or "Banned" then it's another 5$ to come back to the open zone. That would keep everything civil... There is no easy solution. If your brothers had to share an account then so be it. In the end it would be better for the overall population of the site as opposed to letting bungie have 12 different accounts. #5.5 Agree(0) | Disagree(0) | Report | Reply El_Colombiano + 2091d ago Paying for N4G? Never. I strongly disagree with the only one account per I.P. Just ban I.P addresses for trolling. Let a user have a million accounts but the second he or she begins to troll, ban the I.P from signing into any account. Only allow a guest statues so they can still view N4G. #5.6 Agree(1) | Disagree(0) | Report | Reply Jinxstar + 2091d ago That works too. I like that idea. Then the above poster could only blame his brothers for being numbskulls. #5.7 Agree(1) | Disagree(0) | Report | Reply TrailerParkSupervisr + 2092d ago Banish to open zone.Make it a 3 strikes (and us IP address, not handle). 3 times you post flaimbait in the Gamer Zone and you (your IP) is now NOT allowed to post in the Gamer Zone for, say, 30 days. I agree it is quite funny to read some of the flame war comments but when a good story comes along and I might have some legitimate questions or comments and want feedback a la thread posters, it is immpossible to get a "normal" answer. I have to PM people that I think are knowledgeable and it feels intrusive. So, make a fanboy comment in the Gamer Zone and you are sent to the jungle just like Snake Pliskin in Escape From New York. #6 Agree(3) | Disagree(1) | Report | Reply UltimateSin + 2092d ago Gotta disagree with you on the Forums. While yes, they are random, people to frequent them quite a bit. #7 Agree(2) | Disagree(2) | Report | Reply The Dixie Flatline + 2091d ago Why don't they just start new accounts off in the open zone only for X amount of time and/or X amount of posts. You could also limit bubble giving/taking privileges, and approvals/reports of articles while this account is under "probation." Then the account user could petition the moderators to be allowed to the gamer zone. I agree with TrailerParkSupervisr about the three strikes; three written warnings could be given and you are permabanned into the open zone and privileges revoked. The problem I personally have with limiting or banning an IP address is that you might accidentally end up banning someone who is innocent. The main issue is that there might be users living at the same house that have separate accounts. Plus there are ways to hide or disguise your IP address let alone going to another internet connection, i.e. a coffee house and such. The bottom line, however, is that flamebait and controversy brings more web traffic to the site, which = $$$ for N4G. Just my 2 cents. #8 (Edited 2091d ago ) | Agree(0) | Disagree(0) | Report | Reply thereapersson + 2091d ago N4G really needs the ability to IP ban peoplePeople like Bungie and his 10+ multiple accounts are a HUGE nuisance around N4G. This won't happen, though. I remember speaking to Catastrophe about why N4G doesn't IP ban people, and she gave quite a good reason (the likes of which I cannot recall at this moment, unfortunately). #9 Agree(1) | Disagree(2) | Report | Reply Sangria + 2091d ago There are two reasons why IP banning is a bad idea: - First because you may bann an innocent. If you have a network in your house that shares your connection with several computers, then IP banning one of the computers of that network means banning every other ones (because they share the same IP - not local IP - ). So if for example you have a brother that browse N4G as well, if he is IP banned that means you are IP banned as well. - Secondly because IPs are in majority dynamic. If you get IP banned, then you just have to restart your router and you'll obtain a new IP, unless your ISP gave you a fix IP (I don't know if it's widespread but I doubt many ISPs still do that). So globally IP banning can easily be bypassed and it may involve "innocent" people, that's why it's never the best solution to get rid of someone. #9.1 Agree(2) | Disagree(2) | Report | Reply FAT MAN GO BOOM + 2091d ago N4G is great the way it is...Without Rando the forums would die...lol please stop the bashing... of the site... #10 Agree(3) | Disagree(3) | Report | Reply Cajun Chicken + 2091d ago I'd like to think I've fully absorbed into N4G these days, been constantly visiting this site nearly everyday for 2 years. I find it's a great place to speak with people passionate about videogames, I just wish it were easier to network, maybe like Facebook. I always check my list of comments just to see if anyones replied, I'm like that. I totally agree with the reviews of games over an amount of time to keep credibility. HOWEVER, I think the 'user reviews' section should be expanded upon. I also hate the idea of blogs trickling in more and more, people that don't even own their own domain name. I could, if I wanted to send a free template based blog and submit it to N4G. But I don't. I post on the user blogs I think those blog submitters to N4G should do the same, or at least get a bit of credibility with a cheap domain name. I do agree with the majority of the stuff listed, but N4G at the moment does what it's supposed to do; it tells me all the latest gaming industry news (something I know FAR too much about for some odd reason) and as a bonus I get to speak with people who like games the same as me. #11 (Edited 2091d ago ) | Agree(1) | Disagree(1) | Report | Reply Hakimy + 2091d ago there is also a problem with the bubbles system.for example,there was a certain topic from a blog and it was fanboyish.most fanboys agreed with it,but those who disagreed with it,they lost a bubble! I mean wtf? so I disagree with an article and I write my opinion without being a fanboy or insulting anyone only to lose a bubble? and what's even funnier is that you lose a bubble from the people who own the same console as you! you either write one sentence like "great read" and you get 30 agrees and bubbles,or you disagree with the article and show reasonable reasons,only to get disagrees and lose bubbles.this encourage people to act as fanboys and make others feel kinda worried about writing something oppose to what fanboys say.it's like "you either with us or against us!" :P #12 Agree(2) | Disagree(1) | Report | Reply Hoggy1983 + 2091d ago N4G has one face...Flamewars. Now, I don't completely have a problem with this. In truth, the passion of the fanboys can really make the site a energetic place to be and its good to have irrational fanboyism sometimes mixed in. However, whilst I like to dip into the current format I'd really N4G to create a area where I can have healthy discussions about games. There doesn't seem to be any conviction behind "gamer zone" and "open zone" at present. At the moment its just a popular place which therefore draws those who shout alot rather than listen. #13 Agree(1) | Disagree(1) | Report | Reply Aomizuchi + 2090d ago RantThis is just a silly rant, N4G is perfect the way it is. #14 Agree(0) | Disagree(2) | Report | Reply macalatus + 2090d ago Sorry Sangria but personally I believe that your head is completely filled with bull when it comes to Randomicity. What is funnier is that your description of how Rando works in relation to the forums is contradictory. First, you said that Rando is a thread where people can post whatever crap that they may have, only to have a few people care about. So, if Rando thread is a place that most people don't even care, then how the hell would it detract most other people's attention away from the general forums? It's funny people like you bash Rando for making people less interested in the forums when there is an off-site, so-called "N4G Chatroom" who like to advertise itself as "where the people would rather hang-out" instead of participating in the forums. How about this dummy...go check the forum post history of Fat Man, Polluted, Drudog, or even me and see if we made posts in other threads. As a matter of fact, you'll even see that we make the most posts in other threads compared to anyone else. Last but not least, does your little pea brain believe that if Rando disappears the forum is magically going to be active or the Chatgoers would suddenly participate in the forums? No...I don't think it would happen. /rant. #15 Agree(4) | Disagree(2) | Report | Reply Drithe + 2090d ago Hey whiner.If you dont like how it is run go ruin another site or make YOUR OWN SITE! Complete freedom to express how you feel is awesome here and the general public tends to oust to arseholes that come and go. This is THE BEST SITE FOR GAMING NEWS ON THE NET! End of Line. #16 Agree(2) | Disagree(1) | Report | Reply dalibor + 2090d ago Good read. My best solution for all the fanboy jibberish that goes on in N4g(let alone all the other gaming websites for that matter) is just ignore or aviod them. Don't let it phase you. #17 Agree(0) | Disagree(1) | Report | Reply Idle h4nds + 2090d ago Get off your high horse wow this sangria guy is on a high horse.. wth would he care about rando? hell half the time any forum posts that get answered are by people who frequent rando so his theory of killing rando would save the forum is moot bc rando is saving the forum already. Ya know what scratch that the forums are happy and healthy if you don't like them then kindly STFU and GTFO bc I believe they are fine the way they are. Look at any forum topic and I'm sure that many of the replies are from people who frequent randomicity. #18 Agree(2) | Disagree(1) | Report | Reply FuzzyPixels + 2090d ago Some good points, but keep the fanboys...they're funny as hell!I agree with some of Sangria's larger points. Approvals are certainly an issue, especially for smaller sites and blogs. I'd like to see some clearer classifications for some of the reports, but I disagree with your point that they should be made anonymous. 'Lame' is, quite frankly, absurd, and should not be listed as a report. Criticise the article once it's up by all means, but shooting it whilst it's down for being 'lame' opens the system up to widespread abuse. But at least you can see who's behind the report...there's a certain sense of honesty in that which is appreciated. I disagree with all of the stuff about IP banning, separating out fanboy comments and the rest. What if there's a house share, or if you ban an innocent, just hire some active mods! Fanboyism is irritating, and yes the Gamer Zone does have instructions telling people to act in a mature and respectful manner...but it's also hilarious. If N4G don't have a huge problem with it at the moment, neither do I. N4G gives me a good daily chuckle with some of it's less highbrow banter :D #19 Agree(0) | Disagree(1) | Report | Reply Jikla + 2089d ago IP banningIP banning should only be considered for people who spoil games. Just these 2 weeks I've had 2 games spoiled for me. And I'm kinda pissed about it... #20 Agree(0) | Disagree(0) | Report | Reply blue7xx7 + 2085d ago Yeah I agree unfortunately like you said this is "Fanboy land" and most fanboys like the comments above apparently don't want it to change because where else would they go and fight with other stupid fanboys. But I honestly don't care about moderating the comment section or forums since both are really easy to ignore all I care is about the news. But yes I agree with practically the whole thing especially diving the pending section into specific sections and blacklisting certain websites. Also Gamers and trainee should not be able to report a story. But I doubt the admins or mods will change it they don't seem to eager to do it. It's sad because N4G is a great website at least the concept is where you can go and get all the news in one place as oppose to visiting many websites. But the community is one thing that ruins. #21 (Edited 2085d ago ) | Agree(0) | Disagree(0) | Report | Reply tobebech + 2079d ago I never visited N4G when i wanted any serious debate anyways, this site is full of fanboys, and it is the only reason it is so successful. #22 Agree(0) | Disagree(0) | Report | Reply sid4gamerfreak + 2079d ago N4G is completely plagued with the most ignorant foolish ps3 fanboys there is. They're actually making the PS3 look bad, instead of the opposite.

Here is part two of my recent chat with Chicago musician David Singer, who shares his experiences working with Steppenwolf, as well as some thoughts on indie labels vs. D.I.Y.
Singer celebrates the release of his new album "Arrows" with a show at Lincoln Hall at 8 p.m. on Thursday. (Tickets are $12, and the Interiors and Nelken open.)
Q. Let's talk about Steppenwolf and August: Osage County. How did the scoring thing started?
A. Anna Shapiro, who is a local director of some renown, knows my music pretty well. She used songs of mine in shows of hers previously at Steppenwolf, Northwestern, and other places. She and I always talked about working together, and a show was coming up—August: Osage County –and I know [playwright] Tracy [Letts] a bit, too.

#Killed4aTweet - The suspicious death of Don Dunphy
in Politics
Don Dunphy was seriously injured as a young worker. He would spend the rest of his life in pain and poverty because of it. Despite that, he raised his daughter Meghan from the age of three as a single father after his wife died suddenly. Don was an activist and a thorn in the side of government, rebuking them for their dismal treatment of injured workers. That cause led to his death.
Don was effective on social media calling officials out to answer for their actions, specifically on twitter. In his own home on Easter Sunday 2015, he was shot dead by a single plainclothes police officer, a member of Premier Paul Davis' security detail, who was there to investigate a tweet. The investigation has been ongoing for 7 months but nothing has been said to the Dunphy family or the public. An election looms in Newfoundland and Labrador as calls for a public inquiry into this shocking death grow.
Patrick Corbett is a producer, director and writer of film and television with decades of experience. W-5, Dateline, History TV and documentaries have been his forte. A website and a gofundme to generate funding for a documentary about Don Dunphy, the workers' compensation system and political interference in his death, have been established and are listed below.
Erin Breen is a lawyer specializing in Charter defense cases who is representing the Dunphy family. She also works to overturn wrongful convictions, pro bono. Erin will tell us the process in this investigation, where that is currently, and possible avenues going forward for justice.
Audrey Wade is the chairperson of the Don Dunphy Community Coalition, which is calling for a public inquiry into the death of Don Dunphy. This group demands to know why there is still no report from authorities. Audrey has close realtions and history with the Dunphys. She will tell us about them.

Hard Candy Christmas
|"Hard Candy Christmas"
|Single by Dolly Parton
|from the album Best Little Whorehouse in Texas Soundtrack
|"Act Like a Fool"
|October 1982
|Carol Hall
|Greg Perry
|Dolly Parton singles chronology
"Hard Candy Christmas" is a song written by composer/lyricist Carol Hall for the musical The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas.
Near the end of the original play, individual girls of the brothel sing lines of the verses as they are preparing to leave; they join together on the refrains. This pattern was adopted for the film version of the musical, except for the fact that Dolly Parton (who played Miss Mona) is featured as soloist on the refrains, with the girls accompanying her. A further alteration can be found on the soundtrack album for the film, in which Parton alone sings the verses.
Parton's version of the song was released as a single and reached #8 on the U.S. country singles chart in November 1982.[1] In 1998, the song re-entered the country charts and peaked at #73 based on unsolicited airplay. Though not expressly a "Christmas song", per se, Parton's recording received a fair amount of airplay on country stations around the holiday seasons during the 1980s and '90s; Parton also performed the song on Bob Hope's Christmas Special in 1988.
In 1997, the song was covered by RuPaul on the album Ho, Ho, Ho featuring Michelle Visage and Barbara Mitchell. The song has also been recorded by indie rocker Dan Bryk, and former Sixpence None The Richer vocalist Leigh Nash on their respective 2006 releases Christmas Record and Wishing for This.
The Venture Bros. released a version of the song in 2005 as performed by Henchmen nos. 21 and 24 and The Monarch.
June Carter Cash performed the song on the 1982 Johnny Cash Christmas special on CBS Television.
In 2012 Tracey Thorn recorded a version of the song for her Christmas album Tinsel and Lights.

After years of trainers becoming increasingly technical, classic
sneakers are staging a comeback. It is said the term "trainer" is
actually a genericised trade name (like Biro or Hoover) coined by
Gola dating back to the late Sixties. The word "sneaker",
meanwhile, is claimed to have been invented in 1917 by an
advertising executive in Philadelphia called Henry Nelson McKinney
for a campaign for Keds shoes, because the rubber sole made wearers
of the shoes stealthy. In fact, however, the term was already in
use 30 years earlier.

Installation a little more difficult than the clip-on models... Tool box is a little small. But cover looks super clean and flush. You have to have it fully folded up or down flat, no partial openings. No easy access to box w/o fully opening cover. So overall function not as great as it could be, but looks great!

Eurocopter EC130
|EC130 Ecureuil
|EC130 B4 in flight, January 2005
|Light utility
|National origin
|Eurocopter/Airbus Helicopters
|First flight
|24 June 1999
|Unit cost
|Developed from
|Eurocopter AS350
The Eurocopter EC130 is a single engine light helicopter developed from the earlier AS350 Ecureuil, one of the primary changes from which was the adoption of a fenestron anti-torque device in place of a conventional tail rotor. It was launched and produced by the Eurocopter Group, which would later be rebranded as Airbus Helicopters.
During the 1990s, the EC130 was developed by Eurocopter from their AS350 B3 helicopter, a popular rotorcraft originally developed and manufactured by French firm Aerospatiale, which had merged into the multinational Eurocopter organisation. Major changes from the proceeding AS350 included the adoption of an enclosed Fenestron anti-torque device and a wide body to provide for a cabin with much more internal space. On 24 June 1999, the first prototype EC130 performed its first flight, being flown from an airfield in France by Steven Page, an Australian test pilot.[1]
The EC130 was designed in close cooperation with tour operators, one such operator, Blue Hawaiian Helicopters, being the launch operator; it has been described as having a spacious cabin for accommodating up to seven tourists and providing excellent external visibility. In 2001, the EC130 entered service with Blue Hawaiian Helicopters, being used for aerial tours of scenic areas such as Hawaii and the Grand Canyon.[1] The EC130 is principally aimed at commercial passenger transportation operators, such as aerial tour companies, whereas the preceding AS350 continued to be produced and marketed for utility operations instead.[2] Vertical Magazine described the EC130 as being "one of the most highly successful single engine helicopters in air medical service".[3]
An upgraded variant, the EC130T2, was developed in the 2000s to improve upon the base model's performance; more than 70% of the airframe was changed from the initial EC130 model and the more powerful Turbomeca Arriel 2D turboshaft engine was adopted.[4] In 2012, Eurocopter received orders for 50 EC130T2 from Maverick Helicopters, and other customers such as Papillon and Blue Hawaiian took the total then on order for the new variant to 105.[1][5] The EC130T2 was introduced to service in 2012.[3] In 2013, Airbus Helicopters reported that a production rate of 50 EC130T2s would be produced that year, and that this was expected to rise to 65 per year in 2014.[6] In August 2013, Airbus Helicopter's Brazilian subsidiary Helibras assembled its first EC130T2;[7] the first Australian-assembled EC130T2 followed in December 2013.[8]
The EC130 is a single engine helicopter. It uses an automatically-varying three-bladed Starflex main rotor which is matched to an enclosed tail fan anti-torque device, known as a Fenestron, the latter feature replacing the traditional tail rotor found on the older AS350. The Fenestron has unevenly spaced blades to reduce noise generation by 50% compared to a tail rotor; this enabled an FAA Appendix H fly-over noise signature of 84.3 EPNdB, 8.5 dB below stage two limits.[1] The EC130 uses the Turbomeca Arriel 2D turboshaft engine; the performance of this powerplant has led to the type having been described as possessing "better power margins and range than competing models, particularly in hot and high conditions".[3] The EC130T2's enhanced Arriel engine is equipped with Full Authority Digital Engine Controls; a dual hydraulic system derived from the Eurocopter AS355 was also adopted.[6]
The EC130T2 is equipped with active anti-vibration control systems. Adapted from the Eurocopter AS332 Super Puma,[2] the anti-vibration system comprises five accelerometers and four linear actuators to produce smooth flight conditions and improved comfort for passengers onboard; air conditions is a common optional item on this model as well.[6] The EC130 was designed with various safety features, including flight data recorders, crash-worthy seats, and redundant flight systems for greater reliability; the EC130T2 had further safety features installed.[3] Vertical Magazine described the cockpit instrumentation as being "straightforward" and the control response as "tight and pleasant".[6] Typically the cockpit is configured for single pilot operations, the pilot being seated on the left-hand side of the forward cabin to reduce the risk of passenger interference with the controls posed by a right-hand position; dual controls can be optionally installed.[6][2] The EC130 is capable of flight under both day and night conditions.[6]
It has the largest cabin of any single engine helicopter in its class, with reportedly 54% greater unobstructed space and 143% more baggage space than the competing Bell 407.[3] On the EC130, there are three prime seating configurations; a standard layout with a single pilot and six passengers, a similar arrangement with the two central seats facing aft, and a high density layout with three front passengers seats in line with the pilot.[6] In the emergency medical services (EMS) role, various interior configurations have been developed for the type; optional equipment includes customised mounting points for medical equipment, air compressors and liquid oxygen tanks, and United Rotorcraft's Lowered Patient Loading System (LPLS).[3] The EC130 has been popular with Air medical services (AMS) operators due to its large cabin being capable of accommodating up to two stretchers and two attendees, as well as a baggage area for storing equipment, wide side doors for access, and its enclosed Fenestron tail for safety[1][6]
Operational history[edit]
|This section requires expansion. (May 2015)
In February 2008, it was announced that aerial tour operator Maverick Helicopters' fleet of 28 EC130s, the largest single operator in the world, had accumulated a combined total of 60,000 flight hours.[9] By March 2015, Maverick's fleet was officially recognised as having attained 300,000 flying hours.[10] Maverick also served as the launch customer for the improved EC130T2.[11]

Question Asked:
We drove the car home to Fredericksburg from a dealership near San Antonio. It seemed to have clean repair records and nice interior and exterior. After having had it for less than a week, I noticed an oil spot on the driveway. The check Engine light and the oil light came on. I took it to WalMart garage, only to find out they couldn't tell me anything. They noticed it was leaking oil, added oil and sent me on my way. I have an appointment on Thursday to get a repair estimate. Any advice????

Star Wars Saga by mjmjediWatch

This piece is my own perception of the Star Wars Saga, done in oil on canvas. Original size 30"x24". Not for Sale
Daily DeviationGiven 2009-05-28
From the suggester: "I'm fascinated by the way ~mjmjedi managed to represent both the good and the evil side of this story in Star Wars Saga by using a symmetrical composition that, along with the colours, bring the characters to life!" ( Suggested by rydi1689 and Featured by aunjuli )
It looks kind of religious.
Jedi is actually a religion in the star wars universe and in real life. The religion originates from Australia
star wars IS religious!! xD
Personally i would have had an arc 170 star fighter instead of the X wing
Wow looks like painted xylograph. Spectacular.
This is AMAZING!
Hi! I'm running a Star Wars blog counting down the days until Episode VII. bit.ly/daysuntil I'd love to feature you on the site. If you're interested, send me a piece of art and your bio and I'll put it up there.
i thought it was computerized, but woaaaah it is oil in canvas O.O two thumbs up!
I love the colors! Kind of reminds me of 80's music records and movie poster art.
The best i found yet !
This is amazing!
This is amazing. The combination of Anakin's Jedi days on one side and his years as Darth Vader looks amazing and truly shows his rise as a Jedi, to his fall to the Dark side and rise as Darth Vader. This is awesome and everything is awesome. The shading, the background, the symmetry; everything. This is beautiful.
Happy star wars day!
Amazing piece! Definitely getting fav'd and followed!
I am a huge fan of the star Wars series (old republic, clone wars and new republic) and I think this is amazing! Deffinetely looking at some of your other work!
Wow nice ;D
beautifull !
Very cool!
Just mitical. Modern day epic in all its power and melancholy
This is awesome, I'm a huge fan of Star Wars.
Nice, very good, excellent work
Endless war, so epic...
i love this interpretation!
That's really good, dude!
Amazing! Just Amazing!!
jhsjhsjahskuhsdw anakin... <3
This is absolutely wonderfully done! My word! I jsut... I can't find anymore words, but just... Spectacular job!
The laser projectile colors are incorrect for the X-Wing and TIE Advanced, mate. The X-Wing should have red-colored lasers, while the TIE Advanced should have green.
No offense, but I'm having an extremely hard time believing that you could incorrectly portray a detail like that. It really ruins the piece for Star Wars enthusiasts....

OMG seriously? Lay off it. The whole thing is perfect. I can see where he is coming from. Red lasers tend to signify bad guys, where as green and blue tend to signify good guys. It's just like how little kids are like "He has a red lightsaber, so he's a bad guy"
I think he might have meant to do that. It's just a guess but you never know.
Wow. This is amazing artwork, and a fantastic portrayal of the saga. (I still need to finish watching this movie series …)
Incredible! Every tiny little piece of this is symbolic, sometimes in more than one way!
you are talented
great work... hey wait a minute why is the x wing shooting green while the tie fighter is red
Wow that is AMAZING!
nice. but where is padme?
DAMN!!! this looks cool
The ball of Falcon?
The x wing and tie fighter laser colors are wrong!

Re: OT: Really good, long-form epic science-fiction
Have you read Douglas Adams'
Hitchicker's Guide To The Galaxy
series? So far that's the one of the two non-tie in sci-fi novel series I've started. I've only read the first three so far, but I loved them. The other series I'm working on is
The Hunger Games
trilogy. I loved the first book, and I'm reading the second one right now and so far it's just as good as the first.
Do you do comics? It's only kind of sci-fi, but I read the first digital collection of
Y: The Last Man
and I loved it.
