For those of you who may not have been able to make it - or would just like to check it out without all the cross-chatter - we've transcribed the interview (and some interesting asides) behind the break. Also, remember that we have another Massively Fallen Earth event happening this Wednesday night at the Embry Satellite, starting at 9:00 PM Eastern. This time our very own Shawn Schuster will be dropping by to hold a Massively Reader Meet-up, with - you guessed it - more free stuff, and a special Halloween-themed show on Post Apoc Radio.

This time our very own Shawn Schuster will be dropping by to hold a Massively Reader Meet-up, with - you guessed it - more free stuff, and a special Halloween-themed show on Post Apoc Radio.
Massively: The global Help Channel. Did you guys not see that coming?
Marie "Arosei" Croall: Heh... There are some aspects of game play that are beneficial, even if they don't seem like it at the time. The help channel is one of those things I'm glad we have because the game does have a steep learning curve. I've been in the game enough to see all the channels get a little crazy.
What are your thoughts on the long-term viability of Fallen Earth's in-game economic model?
The game economy is something we always need to keep a close eye on. Player behavior will determine what, if any, changes we make to items to alter the economic structure.
Fast travel has been mentioned as a possibility. Will there be any reason to use this feature, given that the game keeps guiding the player towards higher-numbered sectors?
Fast Travel is one of those things we want to implement correctly. It will be a limited system and there will most likely be a cost. We have ways we already use fast travel, such as the LifeNet Transporters.
Ok here we go, question #4. What are your thoughts on riding horses into banks? Does the in-game benefit of easy transfers outweigh the loss of immersion and the inconvenience of crowded interiors?
As a crafter I understand that inventory control is a part of the game and having horse inventory near the vault can make thing easy. But we have come to realize that there are places that horses just shouldn't go, and we are looking at ways to cut down on the aggravation this causes.
[Comment from several in the crowd about killing horses and using them for glue]
More outside vaults is probably a more viable solution than horse slaughter.
[Crowd suggests having horses turn into mutant chickens, Dirge: I want a giant chicken to ride!]
I think we all want giant chickens to ride.
What are your thoughts on in-game housing? If implemented, will they be purely for decoration or will they serve an in-game purpose?
We love the idea of in-game housing. That's another thing we want to do right and should have multiple uses. We've started looking in that direction for upcoming patches. You guys [players] have a lot of ideas that we want to do.
Here we go, we're on fire! Question #6: Where will this game be, a year or two down the road? Will we be doing the same things in higher-numbered sectors (doing missions/pvp while crafting something in the background), or are there big plans in store for us?
The big plans that I'm involved in alter both the ongoing storyline and some aspects of game-play. A lot of the core mechanics will stay consistent, questing, crafting, etc, but motivations and rewards will likely change.
[Comment from Torey Scott: I was thinking you were going to change to the point-click combat.]
No plans to change to point-click combat that I know of.
I would like to know if the devs have any plan to make the characters in the game more unique. Right now its very easy for people to be perfect at armor use, weapon use, and several mutations that in all other games would be considered class defining, which makes grouping a shallow experience in Fallen Earth, and generally reduces the game's appeal as a role-playing game.
We are always talking about ways to add more variety in abilities in armor. While I can't give any direct answers there are some really exciting things in development.
Are you able to tell us some of your future, exciting plans? For example, you could elaborate on the next expansion, and maybe [give us some] more detail about Player Housing and when that will come into effect!
Well everyone's seen the wall, right? We're building to something very big and very cool, but before we get there players will have to hear a lot more about Global Tech, LifeNet and some good old villains. We've got some awesome new content planned - some additions to crafting and hopefully some surprises. And Tetrax is one of our favorites.
Do you plan to add real Item Decay to keep the crafting system viable ?
We are talking about ways to keep the crafting system viable. This is something that we won't rush into. There are certain systems that we want badly, but more than we want the systems, we don't want to break existing game play.
When is the fan site program launching?
The fan site kit is available now, and we will be updating it soon. We love the fan sites and try to visit them as fans ourselves. There is a lot of awesome stuff out there. It's really humbling to see all the work and love you guys put into this game.
[Large Marge: We'd like fan site support with links published officially on the site and in promos]
I'll ask about that Marge.
[Alwiran: Any plans for multi-person transport to transport friends/guildies?]
No plans I could talk about.
Thanks for the info Arosei - and the time!
[Crowd erupts into thanks]
You guys are awesome! Thanks for being here!

Hi, I hope to be racing collegiate this year and I recently got a heart rate monitor. However, I don't know what my training regimen should look like. I was thinking someone along the lines of
Monday- long solo ride (aerobic)
Tuesday- fast group ride (short)
Wednesday- intervals
Thursday- fast group ride (short)
Friday- recovery ride
Saturday- fast group ride (long)
Sunday- rest day
How does this look? Also, how would I use my heart rate monitor in conjunction with my riding?

We have become accustomed in the six years of the George W. Bush presidency to seeing issues split the parties and the nation down the middle, with almost all Republicans on one side and almost all Democrats on the other.
There have been exceptions (the 2002 education law), but this has been the pattern on tax cuts, health savings accounts, trade-promotion authority and free-trade agreements. Immigration is different. This is an issue that splits both parties, the Republicans most visibly, but the Democrats, too. It is an issue on which politicians, being what they are, seek political advantage, but it is also an issue where they're not quite sure where the political advantage lies.
No wonder Congress and the White House didn't bring the issue forward till the fifth year of Bush's presidency, even though he campaigned on it in 2000. And no wonder that members of Congress keep shifting positions on the issue. The House passed a border-security bill, with no guest-worker or legalization provisions, last December. Last month, the Senate Judiciary Committee approved a bill touching on all three issues. But Minority Leader Harry Reid kept the bill off the floor. The issue seemed dead on Capitol Hill.
Now it may be coming alive again. Speaker Dennis Hastert seemed obdurate earlier this year in his opposition to any bill with guest-worker and legalization provisions. More recently, House Republican leaders have said they might consider such provisions in conference committee. Reid, having declared the bill dead, now says he might let it come to the floor with some amendments -- which is what he did after claiming to have "killed" the Patriot Act last year. Majority Leader Bill Frist, who sponsored a border-security-only bill, says he'll allow a more comprehensive bill on the floor.
You can see political calculation in all this. Hastert and Frist can see the long-term danger for Republicans in seeming hardhearted against Hispanics, the fastest-growing segment of the electorate. Reid and Democrats can see the short-term danger in being viewed as killing a border-security law. Leaders in both parties don't want to be perceived as knuckling under to demonstrators brandishing Mexican flags. But they also don't want to be seen as continuing to ignore the fact that, on their watch, the border has become a sieve.

MILTON, Vt. - Three men are accused of conducting 13 larcenies from vehicles in Milton overnight Monday.
Milton Police say in all the cases, the vehicles were left unlocked and one of the men would go through each vehicle. Items stolen included wallets, a snowboard, boots, change, cash, a GPS and other electronics. Multiple stolen credit cards were also being used throughout Chittenden County immediately after the thefts.
Police arrested Anthony Burbo Jr., 20, Anthony Burbo Sr., 52, and 29-year-old Justin Perkins. Police say they believe the three men conducted approximately 100 other larcenies from vehicles.
Burbo Jr. is charged with 12 counts of accessory to larceny, 8 counts of credit card fraud, and possession of stolen property.
Burbo Sr. is charged with 12 counts of accessory to larceny and possession of stolen property.
Perkins is charged with 12 counts of petit larcney, violations of conditions of release, sale of stolen property, and credit card fraud.
Milton Police have located owners of most of the stolen property that has been recovered.
Police are urging the public to contact them at (802)-893-6171 if their vehicle had been gone through, regardless if items were stolen.

- I have a similar switch controlling an outdoor outlet located under the eave of my garage on one corner of my house. I use that outlet to plug in Christmas lights (starting point) each year. Then I turn the switch from manual to auto, and let them turn on/off as programmed until I take them down and return the switch to manual mode (usually in "off" position).
Pretend that you're at home, when you are not.
Have lights turn off/on automatically when you go to sleep or wake-up, cause you are lazy.

Thanks for your safety concern.
I didn't think about the double switch as someone else mentioned but since they would just be for a little lighting before I return home I guess I can use random single switches.

My Favorite Cisco Blogs of 2008
This morning, a colleague told me that her motto for this year is "time to shine in '09." I told her that could connote that she wasn't shining in previous years. She said maybe that was true. Cisco's blogging efforts in 2008, however, have shone through. A little while ago, I hoped we would do more and more blogging and we have. I did a Best Blogs of 2007 last year and it, sadly, was mainly looking at my old blog entries. This past year, however, we now have 13 "corporate" blogs to choose from and many, many Cisco bloggers. And, as I am self-appointed judge and jury, I'm picking my favorites and keeping it to the top 10.So, here we go:1. From the Platform, the top blog entry of 2008 is: "Internet Traffic: What is a Zettabyte" If I had to sum up the top blogs of the platform in a word, it would be VIDEO. This blog captures the numbers.2. From Collaboration blog, my favorite blog entry was: "Team of Rivals" by Alan Cohen. "As we face the darkest business climate in a generation, working across corporate and geographic boundaries can play a critical role in determining whether companies survive or thrive during these tough times." 3. From Data Center blog, my favorite blog entry is: "A Cloudy Day." Doug Gourlay is opinionated, smart and willing to take a stance. He has helped grow the Data Center blog into one of our most popular blogs at Cisco. 4. From DigitAll Consumer blog (new in '08), Johanna Fry and Mike Kisch have done a great job being creative on this consumer oriented blog. My favorite blog from this site is: "Enter the 'Digital Cribs: Heaven or Hell' Video Contest to win $10,000." Read More »
A Look at Security Threats in 2008: More Pervasive, More Sophisticated
Keeping current with cyber threats is critical-not just from a security standpoint, but from a branding or reputation standpoint, as well. Check out our 2008 annual report on security trends at www.cisco.com/go/securityreport.
The Year in Review: No Bailout From Security's Threat Landscape
2008. A year many will gladly say goodbye to in a matter of days. However, for some, 2008 was a good year. A profitable year. In the world of online security, the threats and attacks preying on companies, customers, and consumers continue to wreak havoc internationally. Just as the global economy has become interconnected, so too has the criminal economy. Today, Cisco is releasing its 2008 Annual Security Report, a global synopsis of the numerous threat trends and attacks that made headlines over the course of the year. The report details new approaches attackers are using to trick you, your family, your friends, and your colleagues. It looks forward at what trends could play out in 2009. While the bad guys will look back at 2008 fondly, as evidenced in the report, next year doesn't have to be that way. It's up to you as much as it is up to us and other vendors. Technology is integral in protecting us, but it's not the lone solution. Security is human too. It's a behavior and a habit. It could protect you or hurt you. While the biggest threat could sit between the keyboard and the back of the chair, so too could the biggest solution. Read More »

Article Summary
July 4, 2007 Digital photography has opened a lot of doors in terms of photo sharing and the distribution of digital images - but people still love printed photos they can hold in their hand or stick in a scrapbook - but while printing technology has reached an excellent standard, it hasn't always been very convenient. Canon's SELPHY compact photo printer aims to address this - it's a full lab-color 4" x 6" photo printer that prints straight from a camera or memory card, and is small enough to take to parties with you. Its dye-sublimation printing process is similar to what your local photo processing shop uses. Consider it the polaroid camera of the digital age.

Stark Industries by studiomiaWatch
©2011-2016 studiomia
Howard Stark was pretty dynamite in Captain America: The First Avenger. The Stark guys are pretty studly, if I do say so myself.
This was drawn in pencils, then colored with Copic Markers, scanned in and detailed with photoshop. It was a lot of fun.

luv the way you coloured
and great design!
He's so handsome. Love the style <3
The art really has a retro feel to it. I like how you made the colors slightly faded and yellowish to create the illusion of this being printed on paper from the 30's. The lettering is very Art Deco ish. Overall Howard Stark looks confident, charming and ambitious!
Thank you so much! I'm so happy the retro vibe came through on this piece; I was really trying to go for that!
ahh, handsome
I love him so much ~~~
I love him so much ~~~
I do, toooo!!! I hope there are flashbacks in the sequel to Cap so we can get more Howard action.
That is freaking beautiful!
Great design
I love it! Howard was my favorite part of that movie... maybe its cuz im a bit of an Iron Man geek. Fanatic. Maniac...
Oh, totally. I loved the whole film, but Howard and Bucky were my favorite parts of CA, hands down!
dam tony looks soo much like his dad it scary!! i just realized!!
I'm incredibly tempted to print this out and put it on my wall
Sexy daddy! I love the colors and retro look of this poster. Wouldn't it be just like Howard to put himself in the company logo?
Awesome X)
Dynamite indeed. Daddy Stark rocks.
Lovely! I find Howard more attractive than Tony....
You know, I thought the same thing when I saw the movie. Tony is hot, but his dad is hotter.
Stark men are so utterly handsome.
Absolutely amazing!
lovely drawing
You captured the malt-shop feel so perfectly! Good show!
Lovely. Howard was indeed a boss in Cap America
Howard Stark is the answer to all of life's questions.
Howard Stark is the answer to all of life's questions.
So lovely to see appreciation for Howard Stark. Fantastic!
I'm so happy he was in the movie - - can't wait to draw him again! Thank you so much for stoppin' by and sharing the Howard Stark love.
Grandad Stark was pretty damn amazing! I love the retro feel of this!
And we thought Tony was the smoothest motherfucker.

California Is Not Spain, Uganda, Or Greece; But Stockton Sure Is: Largest US City Bankruptcy Is Now Official
The longest foreplay, well except what they have going on over in Europe these days, is now over:
Let's see: this week we have had official insolvency filings from Spain's banks, Cyprus, now Stockton, and rumors that Slovenia is next. It also appears that Spain and Italy do not want to be "fake" bailed out unless they are "for real" bailed out. Things are certainly picking up speed.
What next: Stoxit? And what is the Bloomberg text symbol for the Confederate dollar?

Finally some good news out of the great state of Kalifornia...
Who's next?
Vote Obama in 2012!!! You fucking idiot's..................
The good news is that we are finally starting to deal with the problem. The bad news is that this is probably 0.1% of the municipal problem.
Stockton. Where pension rubber hit the road and exploded.
Great! Many more cities, counties, states and especially after Roberts' traitorous act today eventually the USA to come. This evil system will end.
I can't wait!
yep. better grab a seat before the bus is full.
"Just walk away"....over 1 million house owners have.
but the illegal aliens still driving Escalades from HELO cashouts.....
looks like mexicans have accepted american culture of spending.
Better to be one of the first while there is still some solvency out there.
Amazing! Pray tell anyone someone how the fuck the SP is NOT UNDER 800??????????
Green shoots, hopium, and Brian Sack.
Trust me Stockton's not the only city or county, there are hundreds more lining up to figure out what to do.
That place smells like a giant rotting " Brussel Sprout" anyways. Let the failing Levees reclaim it.
Nobody from the Great California Republic is gonna know to what you allude.
And last told, they in Stockton are actively discussing curtailing current monthly pension and health care checks to retirees in order to have fiunds for necessary services.
Poor CA gubamint retirees.
My ass....
And the most interesting twisted sort of the whole miasma is here's Moonbeam, a solid friend of organized labor, etc., the one who's actually initiated the discussions about pensions...
Wouldn't of thought he'd have been the guy to touch the third rail, so to speak, but he has.
Good on him for that.
Topic need serious breaching in the Great People's Republic of California.
My yber-liberal CA gov't employee golf buds are angry as all hell at me because several years ago I was telling them that the pension, health benefits deals were coming unglued and were gonna ultimately get cut.
They treat me as though my forecast was the event initiating the prohibited discussions.
Some folks love to live, revel in a disassociative disorder
Dude you need to find some new friends.
mmmmm Ricky Bobby
Knuckles knows his talk on this topic. I'll leave it at that.
My yber-liberal CA gov't employee golf buds are angry as all hell at me because several years ago I was telling them that the pension, health benefits deals were coming unglued and were gonna ultimately get cut.
Been telling my mother, a retiree of the education system this same thing. She look at me like I am building a fucking ark or some crazy shit like that.
Unfortunatly, this is the easiest answer to the boomer problem, we still have about 5 more years to go. Give them what they want so they will retire, then crawfish. Coming soon worldwide near you... That solves the easy question. The harder question is solving eroi.
"Do unto others."
Quick question: If everyone's broke, municipalities, counties, states, nations, banks, etc..., THEN WHO HAS ALL THE FUCKING MONEY? Where'd all the bailouts go? SOMEBODY must have it!
But they all claim to be broke, no collateral, stinky balance sheets, need more bail-outs, must be broke. Again, WHO HAS THE MONEY?
As in people who are held harmless for their actions as employees of corporations, banks, etc.
And where it's all ultimately siphoned off to are the fabulous banking families and their political enablers.
As but one example, can you say City of London?
I thought you could.
Go figure
THEN WHO HAS ALL THE FUCKING MONEY? Where'd all the bailouts go?
It was all used to deodorize a cesspool of non-performing derivative securities.
bankers/politicians spent it all on jet fuel, coke, and hookers.....
Banksters are middlemen to funnel the new trillions created by the FED to the politicians. They in turn, give it back to banks, friends and politicians whom can't print money. Plus, they pay off the unemployed and underemployed in a blatant attempt to buy votes and keep the herd calm. Corporations that have been lucky enough to get a little seem to be fattening up their "rainy day" funds, so they have a chance of surviving the next shit storm.
The top fifteen executives of each bank.
It's called fractional reserve banking. The down side loss of capital is just as leveraged as the upside.
Sorry ... money's gone in 60 seconds
It (real property), goes into receivership. Then china builds a( green /oxcart) road thru it. Walaa land improvement has, tree hugger approval.
Then we start a "Hut Owners" association. Any Questions?
Don't ask too many questions, goy. Just keep on going to church and join the military.
The same people who have always had it?
Quick answer:
Have you ever heard of the Red Shields and the Rockefellers...?
They know where da moneeze is.
It was never there in the first place! You buy a house for $80k, and twenty years later, it's worth $350k, and you take out a loan against it for $200k. That $200k worth of value never existed. The money loaned was created out of thin air, too.
Unfortunately, Stockton (and Greece, et. al.) have been living off this thin air and imagination for years now, and are just waking up from a haze to realize they are in need of real actual sustenance.
But they haven't been tending the garden, so they're starving, and there is no food handy.
but i suppose its still satisfying for the desperate.
BUllish and transitory.
He'd look like Detroit.
Fixed it for ya.
Detroit got what it deserved when they elected Kwami Kilpatrick? Fucking Criminal bastard.
Please lets move this shitshow along...cue Italy!
valley chick really? Mario Monti is an unelected, self appointed technocrat puppet.
You need to lay off those Bunga Bunga parties.
The Federal government should take notes for future reference.
Tomorrows Bloomberg take away ....... you guessed it ...... "equities rally on stimulus rumours " .
No-one seems to have noticed...
Which Ugandan town is next? Fresno? Bakersfield?
How dare you compare Uganda with shitholes like Fresno and Bakersfield.
Throw a dart on a map. I'll give you 1 in 5 odds. (Claiming the entire state isn't fair.)
edit: incorporated cities
It's really hard to believe Fresno or Bakersfield could get any more destitute than they already are.
Queue the High Speed (which is looking more low speed every day) cluster fuck
Until 2008, I lived in a small Orange County city ... 40,000 ... they had a 660,000,000 debt or $165,000 per person ... too ashamed to tell you the name
Close enough for hand grenades & horseshoes...
Vallejo went bankrupt, now Stockton is bankrupt.
Good job CA
Both were racist areas anyway.
That's not true.
Chocked full of poor white trash, Mexicans, Oakies, illegals, motorcycle gangs, meth labs....
Equal opportunity abusers.
and affordable too!!!
Course, money can't buy happiness...in whatever fresh new hell being described here...lol.
It may be affordable, but you have to also account for the replacement value of your belongings when they are stolen, and the medical costs of being mugged.
So kind of a wash.
Not all of cali is bad Bob. I have to admit one thing. It's was great jumping point to Australia.
There are some great pockets of people in Cali. It is libtarded though.
Stockton's problem was forcing developers to set aside a percentage of new development as low income.
Who would spend money on a McMansion, when your neighbors are a meth lab in a doublewide?
Ah, Europeans.
Long Foreplay. Hey, with some beauties it worth every Gilder.

Taibbi: Muni Bond-Rigging Billions (on Imus)
Posted on June 28, 2012 by max

With Stockton,CA they keep mentioning the unfunded liabilities,pension and healthcare costs.The last big one (Chap.9) was Jefferson county,Alabama,where Goldman Sachs did them over with some swaps so they could get the sewers upgraded.Also people should never let the bastards forget their criminal conspiracy to fix the muni. bond auctions,driving up the cost of borrowing for mainstreet America.With the July Fourth weekend coming up it gives a new feeling to patriotism.... Put a banker on the Barbee.....
"Put a banker on the Barbee"
Reminiscent of Phillip IV of France's barbeque of Jacque DeMoley, Grand Master of the Knights Templar and Europe's banker extraordinaire 698 years ago on Friday the 13th.
Those poor bastard born again Christian Alabama boys shouldn't play with the New York Jooze. They're liable to get fucked like they've never been fucked before. And they did.
Backgrounder: JEFFERSON COUNTY, ALABAMA FILES BIGGEST MUNICIPAL BANKRUPTCY (9-JUN-2011)
The situation appears to dovetail with the pattern attributed to Agenda 21, wherein corrupt, Smart Growth-brainwashed municipalities saddle taxpayers with unmanageable debt. NOW MORE THAN EVER, BEWARE OF THIS PATTERN IN YOUR TOWN / CITY / MUNICIPALITY.
More information: WHAT IS AGENDA 21?
There is a town in Rhode Island that its public employees get their pensions double every 12 years. There will be many more bankruptcies. The crazy thing is that 99% of them think its sustainable.
Nah, the REALLY crazy thing is that they think the pensions are sustainable because they anticipate a return of 7-8% on their investments.
Unicorns, skittles -- it's all good!
History will mark this as the beginning of the end for Unions. They after all, killed Stockton.
The infrastucture of Stockton, and all of the "Central Valley" has been in decline for decades. Your UNION diatriabe is laughable!
I'm perplexed at how you can draw a similarity between agriculture and unions? The business is seasonal, and transitory!
The public employees demanded, and got, promises of lifetime health care for them and their families after just one month of employment.
Stockton is black. Every black city is bankrupt or being kept alive by the state.
Is this racist, or mathematically factual?
I'm so confused.
I knew, unions did it again ... so bankers don't get caught in a Porsche, made by heavily unionized workers, the root cause of all financial evil.
When this thing finally goes super nova it is going to be a thing beauty.
Muni-bond ETF's virtually unfazed by this news.
California and New York Muni-Bonds on the cusp of making record highs.
Market Vectors High Yield ETF made a fresh, world record high today.
Meanwhile, back to King World News which continues reporting on the "End of the World"
And if I give a 1000 monkeys a 1000 Iphones, one of them will manipulate a market. Everyone else hates you Robo, but I love ya, I know your momma raised you on negative feedback, and your here for a quick 50 shades of grey. If you want some real abuse, start posting some links to Business Insider and CNBC, and claim they check their facts.
Notes on Wall Street's Bid-Rigging Scandal | Matt Taibbi | Rolling Stone
This news could fuck the muni-Bond market permanently.
Public Unions & Self Serving Public Union Cock Sucking Politicians (SSPUCSP) amazingly can't be trusted. Go figure.
Good one... LOL
Maybe Hendrix was an Austrian at heart?
"No more surf music", Are You experienced? J. Hendrix
I like the Confederate dollar reference, thanks to the Southern (?) Tyler.
"The longest foreplay"
I was always told that was a good thing. Maybe Europe's got it goin' on.
Schwarzenegger issued IOUs when he was Governor but the banks began not to honor them and forced him to stop issuing California currency.
But it worked so I recommend getting rid of the banks completely and arresting their CEO's. Oh well nobody ever listens to me.
Chris Whalen has said, repeatedly, that two guys and a server (PC) could start a bank from a garage; there is nothing special abount banking, it's a commodity service.
When bankers start whining about how special they are and how the rest of us simply must pay for their gambling habits a.k.a. proprietary positions, I want to smack them in the teeth with a bar of gold.
Sounds good ... start a bank and back the deposits with gold
Its Californication !!!..... and its coming to a state near you soon
Will my California lifeguard still get $200,000 a year? She's a real knockout in that tight vibrant pink Spliced Racerback Speedo.
At what point does everyone look at each other, shrug their shoulders and then pretend nothing happened?
The South was right!
Wait, this is California people! I thought weed can get you through times of no money (but money can't get you through times of no weed). certianly Stockton has weed?
I am amazed at how few "get it". Many are spending again, going about their life, now that "it is all getting better". Of course some still have good paying jobs and have had them through this debacle. They are the worst. What Me Worry. I cannot believe they think this debt will not matter. The deficits will work themselves out and after the election Congress and the White House will kiss and make up. And somehow we will pay for all the services, pensions, health benefits even though 40 states are in the red.
I just cannot believe they can be so Fucking stupid. Makes me go ballistic.
As the old saying, As goes California, so goes the rest of the nation. ha, ha
Who approved all the union contracts--Santa Claus? No, the people sitting on city commissions, mayors and city managers. The average business man, white male developer, contractor type, conservative, small business owner and Republican, the type that says that they have experience creating jobs and wealth unlike the professional politician-lawyer type.
Because if anyone loves unions, it's those Republican types...LOL.
Oh....and popcorn
I mad as hell and I'm not going to take this anymore! Where's my bailout!
Actually it's good to see bankruptcy being declared. I'd say it's about time. That means that folks, cities, counties... or countries, will not get any credit issued to the for quite some time, and will have to learn what it means to live within your means. Creditors will stop loaning out to people or entities just because they have a pulse.
That is a good thing in my opinion. Still waiting for the big reset though.
California is one giant toilet that Mother Nature needs to flush. From the wetbacks the libtards protect in cities like Frisco, to the old hippies, to the libtards, sodomites, evil hook nose beanie wearers, etc... California needs to be be purged and start over.
Who disliked this 3 times? I guarantee you the junking came from the "beanie wearers." No other attack or slur on anybody else gets nary a peep but bring up Jews and you get your goy ass Junked all the way to Sheol. This city is non-White and it failed. What a shocker. Here are the demographic breakdown of Vallejo, CA (Declared bankrupt in 2008) and Stockton, CA. You make up your mind.
The 2010 United States Census[5] reported that Vallejo had a population of 115,942. The population density was 2,340.3 people per square mile (903.6/km²). The racial makeup of Vallejo was 38,064 (32.8%) White, 25,572 (22.1%) African American, 757 (0.7%) Native American, 28,895 (24.9%) Asian (21.1% Filipino, 1.0% Indian, 0.9% Chinese, 0.5% Vietnamese, 0.2% Japanese, 0.2% Korean, 0.1% Laotian), 1,239 (1.1%) Pacific Islander, 12,759 (11.0%) from other races, and 8,656 (7.5%) from two or more races. Hispanic or Latino of any race were 26,165 persons (22.6%); 16.1% of Vallejo is Mexican, 1.8% Salvadoran, 0.8% Puerto Rican, 0.7% Guatemalan, 0.5% Nicaraguan, and 0.2% Peruvian.
The 2010 United States Census[12] reported that Stockton had a population of 291,707. The population density was 4,505.0 people per square mile (1,739.4/km²). The racial makeup of Stockton was 108,044 (37.0%) White, 35,548 (12.2%) African American, 3,086 (1.1%) Native American, 62,716 (21.5%) Asian, 1,822 (0.6%) Pacific Islander, 60,332 (20.7%) from other races, and 20,159 (6.9%) from two or more races. Hispanic or Latino of any race were 117,590 persons (40.3%).
Sounds marvellous, if you like multiculturalism. I'm surprised it's not inundated with left wing liberals looking for an 'authentic cultural experience'
So to formalize your thesis, and see if it has predictive power:
Vallejo 22% black, 22% Hispanic.
Stockton 12% black, 40% Hispanic.
22b+22h = 12b+40h
So for bankruptcy purposes, one percent black has the bankrupting power of 1.8% Hispanics?
Time will tell, as we wait for the next municipal bankruptcy. Bookmarked.
Why not? It is predictive with crime. A black is 6 times more likely than a white to commit murder. A latino is about 3 times as likely. The same with rape, assault and battery and other violent crimes. Makes sense to me.
San Bernadino: 9.6% black, 49.9% Hispanic.
Mammoth lakes is a major outlier, though. 33% Hispanic, 0.4% black.

The Journal of the Civil War Era
Volume 4, Number 1, March 2014
pp. 124-126 | 10.1353/cwe.2014.0003
Say you're an archivist, and you've been given a box of letters written, you soon come to realize, by enslaved men and women in the antebellum South. After celebrating the gift, what do you do? Where do they go? Do you file the letters in existing subject-specific boxes: those labeled "Slave Religious Practices," for instance, or "Slaves in Kentucky"? Or do you sort them by author, cataloged into categories marked off by names previously unknown? The former, of course, highlights the letters as part of a larger collective history, instances gesturing toward experiences repeated across multiple lives. The latter marks the documents as exceptional, fragments of singular lives and singular moments of composition. In his remarkable Word by Word: Emancipation and the Act of Writing, Christopher Hager advances the latter option. For him, to treat the letters as distinctly authored documents—as vital instances of composition, expression, and literacy—is to transform them from artifacts into narratives and to, in turn, expand the range of modes through which the documents might speak across time.
Hager's interventions are methodological and recuperative as much as historical and critical. He aims "to broaden literary studies (to manuscripts in addition to printed works, marginally literate writers in addition to the well-educated) and inspire new modes of interpreting historical sources" (4-5). A frequently cited and published letter written by Maria Perkins to her husband provides an ideal case study. In the letter, Perkins describes her master's decision to sell her and her children: "I write you a letter to let you know of my distress my master has sold albert to a trader onmonday court day and myself and other child is for sale also . . ." (55). Where previous editors and writers ignore, apologize for, or rectify the letter's imperfections and idiosyncrasies, Hager applies close reading methods, interpreting them instead "as reflections of Perkins's experience" (63). He notes, for instance, that Perkins begins the letter fastidiously, editing her own writing in a way that indicates self-conscious composition over a period of time. By the letter's end, however, she seems to speed up, misspelling words she's already spelled correctly, running out of room as she comes to the end of a line. Moreover, this change in the nature of composition matches a change in the letter's content, which transitions from "an epistolary mode of outreach to her husband and toward a diaristic mode of private reflection" (67). By attending to the letter with such care, Hager approaches something we might otherwise miss in the historical record: Maria Perkins's private life and rich interiority, indexed here by spelling, handwriting, and self-corrections. While Hager thus suggests the potential value of close reading to historians, he also encourages scholars in my discipline, literary studies, to expand what we typically take to constitute the body of nineteenth-century African American literature. He makes this point effectively when he proposes a new category or genre of autobiographical writing, the "enslaved narrative," written from within the immediacies of slave experience rather than, as with slave narratives, from the perspective afforded by time, distance, and freedom.
Such a literary approach to slave manuscripts subtly alters the history of slavery and emancipation. Take, as just one instance, the history of racial belonging and African American community formation. Here such collectivities emerge inductively rather than deductively, shifting even within a single document, and they therefore take form in modes far more provisional and dynamic than scholarship typically allows. In chapter 4, "The Written We," Hager analyzes how men and women, slave and newly free, represented their own affiliations, belongings, and companionships. In particular, he examines the shifting first-person plural in the writing of William B. Gould, who began his diary five days after his self-emancipation during the Civil War and kept it through three years of service in the U.S. Navy. Hager reveals a "we" in Gould's writing that shifts from describing an aspirational community that includes everyone on board his ship, white and black, to a more local solidarity, "influenced by racial division and . . . frequently interrupted by Gould's sense of his own separateness" (128).

The future of kitchen appliances is here, with the Whirlpool Gold Stainless Steel Smart Refrigerator WRL767SIAM. Part of the new Whirlpool 6th Sense smart appliance line, this refrigerator goes beyond simply keeping your food cool. A wealth of intelligent technology keeps you constantly connected, alerting you of potential problems, helping reduce energy costs and giving you peace of mind when you're away from home.
The brain of the WRL767SIAM smart refrigerator is the Whirlpool 6th Sense technology, a system that constantly monitors fridge performance and sends important information directly to your smartphone through the 6th Sense app, or via text or email. Get notified if your fridge loses power for more than 30 minutes, letting you make plans to avoid food spoilage. Easily adjust fridge temperature from anywhere on the planet, or activate Vacation Assistant, which puts the unit into an energy-saving mode while you're away for extended periods of time. Filter assistant reminds you when it's time to change the Pur® water filter, ensuring you'll always have fresh, clean water at your fingertips. And for those with children or forgetful spouses, the WRL767SIAM can send a Door Open "Nudge" any time the door is left open for more than 5 minutes.
The Whirlpool 6th Sense system adds functionality to what is already a premium-level refrigerator. A 26 cubic-foot capacity gives plenty of food storage throughout the unit. In the refrigerator, you'll find a trio of glass shelves, four adjustable door bins and a humidity-controlled crisper. Two of the shelves feature Whirlpool MicroEtch technology, which prevents spilled liquids from leaking over the edge of the shelf. The In-Door-Ice Plus system moves the icemaker and storage bin to the door, providing 30% more freezer space than previous models. All of the refrigerator functions are controlled through the touch-screen panel mounted above the in-door water dispenser. Wrapped in a sleek monochromatic stainless steel body, the exterior of the Whirlpool WRL767SIAM matches the high-tech abilities at its core.
The interior environment of the WRL767SIAM is kept in check by the Whirlpool Accu-Chill temperature management system, which continuously monitors and adjusts the temperature to meet the perfect balance between preserving foods and saving energy. An integrated FreshFlow™ air filter combats stale, smelly air, and helps reduce airborne bacteria that can lead to food spoilage.
While the advancements that come with a Whirlpool smart appliance like the WRL767SIAM may seem daunting, they all run automatically, so using your fridge won't be any more complicated than before. One thing that certainly won't overwhelm you is the energy bill. Thanks to the smart technology, this refrigerator is ENERGY STAR qualified, leading to cost savings over the course of its life. You can further reduce energy costs with the Rate Revealer system, which connects to the Smart Grid to determine electrical rates, so you can do power-intensive tasks like running the Adaptive Defrost mode the rates are lowest.

Informative but predictable. Good info.
The first two I might try but grass? No way, I'd rather walk all night to get home.
If the knots leak over a long distance and if your life is at risk, I would consider filling the tire with dirt/sand if no grass is around.
It would be extremely heavy, guessing 5 kilos, but the tire would hold its shape.
You would have to ride slow since it would steer dangerously but better than walking a long distance through bear country or South LA at night :)
My real world solution one time was to find some plastic bag litter and wrap it around the hole 5-6 times as a patch. It held air for a week, then I remembered about it and fixed the tube.
ET phone home.
I've heard of the grass thing, but not tying the tube like that. Good idea to keep in mind. Hope I never have to use it.
You guys still ride on air?
I just fill my tires with Great Stuff.
Or just bring tubes...

We've had a lot of questions asking about the British Lottery International email scam which so many folks are receiving. It seems that with the Katrina scams starting to wane, the British Lottery International scam is picking up steam again. The questions always run along the lines of this one:
"I just received an email from British Lottery International advising a lottery number had been assigned to my email address and I had won a large amount of money. I was given a web site and person name to contact to start the process of collecting the money. I am assuming this is a scam but would like to verify.
Can you help?"
Yes, we can help. We can tell you this: any email you get advertising British Lottery International, even if it seems like it could be true because it is targeting you specifically (and that's what it is, targeting) is a scam. Period. In fact, it is really just a variation on all the 419 scams out there.
So don't be taken in.

Researchers Find Dark Matter Blob That Could Rewrite Understanding of Galaxies: Scientists Baffled by Dark Matter Mystery
Keller, James, The Canadian Press
VANCOUVER - Roughly 2.4 billion light years from Earth, a massive blob of a mysterious, invisible substance known as dark matter is threatening to rewrite how scientists on this planet understand galaxies.
Dark matter -- which accounts for more than 80 per cent of all matter in the universe -- has been described as the glue that holds galaxies together through gravity.
It's invisible, but it surrounds galaxies and larger clusters of galaxies. To detect it, scientists study how the gravity from dark matter bends and distorts light passing through it.
Currently, scientists believe that dark matter doesn't have much effect on the surrounding environment other than through its gravitational pull. In other words, if two galaxies collide, the dark matter from one galaxy would pass right through the dark matter from the other, as it if didn't exist.
But researchers in Canada and the United States have detected what they are describing as a "dark core" -- a large clump of dark matter that appears to have collided and stuck together, even as the galaxies the dark matter was attached to continued to move on.
"It challenges conventional understanding of dark matter and how dark matter should behave," said Arif Babul of the University of Victoria.
"It's potentially suggesting dark matter has a bit of stickiness to it that we hadn't expected before, and that stickiness could then change how galaxies like our own Milky Way come together."
The scientists first made the discovery in 2007 using a telescope based in Hawaii.
They were looking at Abell 520, a collection of several galaxy clusters that are colliding into one another other at high speed, which has been described as a "cosmic train wreck."
It was in the centre of Abell 520 that they noticed a clump of dark matter that appeared to be left over from the colliding galaxy clusters, even though prevailing wisdom about dark matter suggested that should not happen. …

Rudy Giuliani's downfall in the Republican primary fight has been much predicted, but little in evidence. He just got the endorsement of the Christian conservative leader Pat Robertson and has stubbornly stayed atop national polls all year long.
His success has spawned theories about the changing nature of the Republican Party, and how social conservatives have "grown up" in their willingness to accept a pro-choice candidate. The key to Rudy's appeal, though, isn't his heterodoxy, but how the sensibility of his candidacy is in the Republican mainstream running from Ronald Reagan through George W. Bush.
Rather than a break with Bush, Giuliani represents stylistic continuity. The cross-dressing, nonchurch-going, pro-choice New Yorker has more in common with the brush-clearing, evangelical, pro-life West Texan than any of the other Republican candidates. He's an urban cowboy, who tamed New York City with his no-nonsense commitment to law and order.
As a top GOP operative says: "Reagan has provided the stylistic model for Republican leaders ever since he first ran: tough-talking, moral clarity, inspirational rather than tactical in rhetoric, someone who will stand up to dangerous foreign enemies. Bush fits in that model, and so does Rudy. This style and these attributes are as important, if not more important, than particular issue stands to many voters."
At this basic level, Giuliani tugs on Republican heartstrings. There is no substitute in politics for being liked, and Republicans simply like Rudy. Rather than the abrasive personality they were told to expect, voters have seen a candidate with the readiest toothy grin this side of Jimmy Carter or Teddy Roosevelt, and he's the only Republican who has consistently demonstrated a spontaneous sense of humor.
In the breadbasket of modern Republicanism, the South, Giuliani has been surprisingly strong. The South is as much a state of mind as a geographic location, and Giuliani, despite being an ethnic Northeasterner, exemplifies it. He taps into the South's anti-elitist, patriotic, pro-military attitudes more naturally than any candidate besides John McCain.
Giuliani is winning the leadership primary in the Republican race. An October Fox News poll asked whether Giuliani is a "strong and decisive leader"; 65 percent said "yes," 20 percent "no" -- the highest rating of any of the tested national figures. By refusing to check the box on every conservative issue, Giuliani has reinforced the idea that he has exactly the attributes of strength and leadership that conservatives crave.

This Week in CongressMarch 31, 2008 - by Donny Shaw
(Cross-posted from Congresspedia, The citizen's encyclopedia on Congress.)
Senators and representatives return to work today following a two-week recess to once again find the struggling economy dictating their schedules. The mortgage crisis is continuing, and home foreclosures are on the rise. In addition, cities across the country are bracing for an oversupply of housing units as construction of new homes and condos—began while the housing bubble was at its peak—is completed. Meanwhile, taxpayers are waiting for rebate checks that were part of a stimulus package (on OpenCongress) approved last month.
In the Senate, Majority Leader Harry Reid wants to vote on a second stimulus package meant to relieve pressure on the housing market and on homeowners. Under the Senate measure, municipalities would share $4 billion in grants for the restoration of foreclosed homes. The bill would also provide $200 million for loan counselors, and would amend bankruptcy law to allow judges to modify mortgages for individuals on the verge of bankruptcy.
The bankruptcy provision is a bitter pill for the banking industry, which has lobbied for its removal from the legislation. In addition, Senate Republicans are striving to insert their own amendments: a limit on plaintiff attorneys' fees and an extension of President George W. Bush's 2001 tax cuts.
While there's plenty to get done on the economic front, Congress will also take up legislation regarding the Iraq war in April. House leaders are drafting an "emergency" supplemental spending bill to fund the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, since Pentagon officials have refused to include the wars in their normal budget requests. Democrats are saddling the legislation with a slew of domestic priorities, hoping to force tough votes for GOP members.
In other Iraq news, General David Patraeus will testify before several Congressional committees next week. Patraeus is expected to give a progress report on the situation in Iraq, and Ambassador Ryan Crocker is also scheduled to give testimony.
President Bush has also weighed in on the Congressional calendar, asking Congress to take action on a number of his priorities. Bush, who departed for a NATO summit in Europe today, said the legislative branch should adopt a reform of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, approve a free trade agreement with Colombia, and change the Federal Housing Authority to help more homeowners.
The FISA reform bill, the RESTORE Act, is something we've mentioned quite often in the past. While checking on the differences between the House and Senate version, I came across this great RESTORE Act summary over at Think Progress—it basically describes the House version of the bill.
Aside from the question of immunity for telephone companies (who helped the Bush administration eavesdrop on Americans' phone conversations without a warrant), the House would place greater oversight on the nation's electronic surveillance activities and require that agencies obtain warrants prior to conducting surveillance (though the requirement could be obtained after-the-fact in an emergency).
Congressional Democrats will likely stall progress on a Colombian trade pact until President Bush agrees to move forward on Trade Adjustment Assistance for displaced workers.

Arts at BGSU to be showcased Dec. 7
The name has gotten smaller, but what's now called ArtsX keeps getting bigger.
After three years as the Arts Extravaganza, the fourth annual event has expanded to highlight work by creative writing and architecture students, as well as performances and demonstrations of art, music, theatre, film and dance.
It will all be on display from 6-10 p.m. Friday (Dec. 7) in the Fine Arts Center, where the emphasis will be on collaboration across the arts, said Dr. Allie Terry, art history and a coordinator of ArtsX 2007. Admission to the public event is free.
Many of the scheduled activities will continue throughout the evening, including readings of student poetry and other creative writing in Room 206 and an installation in Room 1102 by members of the BGSU Chapter of the American Institute of Architecture Students.
One of the University's most recent technology ventures will be featured in Room 1106, where live music and dancing will be available in a "Right-Brained Throw Down: First and Second Life Fusion."
Second Life is a three-dimensional, virtual world where BGSU has purchased its own "island" on which to create an educational environment. Real people control digital representations of themselves, or avatars, in Second Life, and communicate with others through voice or text chat.
Outside the Fine Arts Center, in the southeast courtyard, will be two performances of composer Phil Kline's holiday installation piece "Unsilent Night," at 7 p.m. and 8 p.m.
Kline has described his work as "an outdoor ambient music piece for an infinite number of boombox tape players. It's like a Christmas caroling party except that we don't sing, but rather carry boomboxes, each playing a separate tape which is a 'voice' in the piece. In effect, we become a city block-long stereo system."
Presenting the performances is Praecepta, a student chapter of the Society of Composers, Inc., that promotes new music activities on campus and in the Bowling Green community. Because "Unsilent Night" exists in an open-ended format accessible to anyone with a portable and reliable cassette or CD player, Praecepta is seeking community volunteers to participate. For more information and technical requirements, contact Drew Dolan, the organization's president, at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Praecepta will also present musical works in collaboration with student filmmakers from 6-7 p.m. and 9-10 p.m. in 204 Fine Arts Center.
Also outside, near the building's main entrance, visitors may view wraps and other art created for Toledo's TARTA buses by BGSU design students.
Inside the main entrance, in the lobby and the entrance to the Dorothy Uber Bryan Gallery, music will be provided by several groups from the University's College of Musical Arts. The Vocal Jazz Ensemble will perform from 6-6:35 p.m., followed by the Early Music Ensemble from 6:45-7:20 p.m., the Sinfonian Brass from 7:30-8:10 p.m., the HeeBeeBGs vocal ensemble from 8:15-8:40 p.m., the Jazz Quartet from 8:45-9:15 p.m. and, from 9:20-10 p.m., the Student Loan, a group of four current students and alumni.
The 58th annual Faculty/Staff Exhibition, showcasing the work of more than 40 artists, will be ongoing in the Bryan Gallery, as will "Trench Cuisine: A Rock Band's Recipe for Semi-Success" in the Willard Wankelman Gallery. The latter exhibit is a multimedia presentation by Cleveland artist and musician Craig Matis, exploring his experiences as composer, director and performer for the rock band Trench Cuisine.
Also performing throughout the evening will be representatives of the of the theatre and film department, in Room 2000. Students in the course "Acting: Songs and Arias" will sing at 6:30, 7:30 and 8:30 p.m., while the Plastic Shatners, an improvisational troupe of undergraduates, will perform at 7 and 9 p.m. At 8 p.m., the nine freshmen and transfer students comprising New Voices Oh Seven will reprise their performance from this fall's Newcomers Showcase on campus.
In other activities at specific times, the Sculpture Club will host an iron pour in Room 1112, the sculpture studio, at 8 p.m.; fibers demonstrations will be given in rooms 203 and 205, also at 8 p.m., and short films by the University Film Organization will be screened in Room 204 from 7-9 p.m. Times have not been finalized for a traditional Japanese tea-room ceremony in the Hiroko Nakamoto Gallery or for a performance of "AIR," a collaborative piece by faculty members Nina Assimakopoulos, flute; Tammy Starr, dance, and Greg Mueller, sculpture.
Other ongoing activities will include:
• An art history trivia game, presented by the Art History Association outside rooms 115 and 116;
• Digital arts animations and video screenings in Room 1101;
• A drawing exhibition in Room 1104 by students from the Arts Village residential learning community;
• A juggling troupe and a display of two-dimensional digital art integration, both in the building's Wing C hallway;
• Glass demonstrations by members of the Student Art Glass Association in rooms 1200 and 1206;
• A "Tee-Party," T-shirt printing by the Print Society in Room 1211;
• Metals demonstrations in Room 101;
• An "Enter the Amazon"-themed children's activity center, staffed by members of the Student Art Education Association in rooms 130 and 132;
• An exhibition of paintings and drawings by students in the Two-Dimensional Art Association in Room 2002;
• A silent auction by the Graduate Art Student Organization in Room 2004, and
• A giant comic mural that visitors can help create in the hallway across from rooms 201 and 203, courtesy of the Comic and Cartooning Club.
Selected work by undergraduate students will be displayed throughout the center, and graduate student studios will be open to the public as well. In addition, student organizations will be selling their wares on both floors of the building.
