The Savage Light Rifle
In 1941, a rifle similar in appearance and function to the Remington 8/81 was submitted to the Ordnance Department for evaluation. It competed against various other rifles for the hope of adoption by the U.S. Army. The rifle was chambered in .30 Carbine and fired semi and full automatic from detachable magazines. This carbine would be known as the Savage Light Rifle*.
The history of this rifle begins in 1938, as the Chief of Infantry proposed the need for a suitable light rifle for support troops. The following criteria were proposed…
-semi-automatic fire was necessary and full-automatic fire was considered optional.
– magazine fed
– an effective range of at least 300 yards
– rifle weight with magazine and 20 rounds of ammunition not to surpass 5lbs
The proposal for this rifle was set aside until 1940 as the United States realized war in Europe was eminent. As the request for a new light rifle was approved by the Secretary of War on August 27th 1940, the task was set for the Chief of Ordnance to test and develop a suitable firearm. On May 1, 1941, the Ordnance Subcommittee reviewed several prototype rifles, one of which, built by the Savage Arms Corporation, closely resembled a Remington Model 8/81.
The Savage Light Rifle was delivered with 5, 10, 20, and 50 round magazines. It weighed 5lbs 10ozs, had a 15.6" barrel, and was made up of 83 parts. According to testing, it was slow to disassemble and reassemble, but performed well. Its tested accuracy was excellent at 100 and 300 yards.
A review of the Ordnance Department's photographs reveals several fascinating things. The Savage Light Rifle may not utilize a Model 8/81 receiver, but its profile is very similar. The general shape, the ejection port, action tube, are all similar to Browning's long recoil design. Study of the bolt group uncovers that the bolt, bolt carrier, bolt lock, ejector, firing pin, link, and extractor resemble modified Model 81 components. In fact the action spring assembly is nearly identical. While the fire control group is vastly different, it still uses a modified Model 8/81 hammer. The Light Rifle has a unique operating handle and two position flip peep sight mounted on top of the receiver.
Although the Savage Light Rifle and Remington 8/81 are both long recoil and look similar, they do differ. The Remington 8/81 has a recoil and buffer spring housed inside a barrel jacket surrounding the barrel. The Savage Light Rifle has its recoil and buffer spring housed in a recoil tube situated below the barrel through the forearm. Perhaps this was advantageous for barrel heat dissipation, ease of maintenance, or for reliability, but it is not known. What is known is that this rifle did not venture far beyond Aberdeen Proving Ground's 10 phase test program. This program examined muzzle flash, accuracy, full automatic firing, endurance firing, performance under dusty conditions, disassembly, and recoil velocity amongst other criteria.
Firing tests were conducted from May 8th-31st 1941 with each prototype rifle given 3 days of evaluation. Interestingly a photograph from the Ordnance Department dated May 10th, 1941 states that the Savage's bolt carrier was cracked. On June 11th a new magazine floorplate was used for retesting, but on June 16th it was determined that the Savage rifle (among others) was to be rejected for additional testing or consideration. As we know today, Winchester's prototype, (eventually evolving into the M1 Carbine) won the trials, but few know a long recoil operated rifle, inspired by the design of John Browning made it into the hands of the U.S. Army.
If anyone has further information on the Savage Arms Corporation's prototype Light Rifle, please contact Cam Woodall at email@example.com

Apple should offer the option of truly matte displays. Even if more expensive. Because it is a serious health and productivity issue for millions.
Apple: we do not really mind that much if the display is 5 mm or 50 mm thick for that matter (really!!!), but we do mind headaches and red sore eyes, besides distractions, not seeing at all what is on the screen (mostly with black backgrounds and black content) and seeing ourselves instead of the file contents. We want professional displays, not pretty (sic) shiny mirrors!
Please! Thank you.

I loved my iMac but the glare, gloss, reflections, etc. decreased my design/production and hurt my eyes. Can't use them now. After I damaged my eyes . . . I tried all the tricks - dark curtains, special lighting, eye drops, custom Nasa glasses, but it's too late. Same with my MacBook Pro. Both had serious health & production issues for me.
Now I have a new MacPro & planned to get an Apple monitor. Went to Apple store -
glossy, too reflective, searingly bright. Not one would work for me.
I produce high-end print magazines - design, layout, editing & photoshop work. I'm on deadline
again and NEED a professional work monitor (no gaming, videos, movies, video production)
A 27" matte monitor (P-IPS or IPS), speakers, HDMI, ergo features (pivot, swivel, tilt, height adjustment.) Must be 178/178 at 10:1 for Portrait Mode. Prefer 16:10 not 16:9.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thank you!

I love the NEC displays. I'm a high-end wedding photographer and have had great results with their 24 inch display and 27 inch display. I agree, can't go with the iMac because of the glare.

Hi, On your 27" NEC display, can you tell me the model #?
Because not all NEC's are high end.
I need a monitor for "professional" use.
For high-end print magazines - design, layout, editing & photoshop work.
Can you or any others recommend a MacPro compatible monitor with these features?
27" matte with pivot, swivel, tilt, height adjustment. HDMI, (P-IPS or IPS panels) and speakers.
Prefer 16:10 not 16:9. Prefer 178/178 at 10:1 for portrait mode.
Any help will be so appreciated!

This is all really helpful.... i have been holding onto and babing the **** outta my 15 year old matte cinema screen because i cannot work on the glossy screens MAC/Apple is making these days. I shudder to think when my MBP 17" goes because they don't make that one either.... i am a graphic designer and have worked on MAC's for years and years.... this is troubling ....
Is anyone listening to the professional end that got Apple off the ground???

I agree - I too have a 30" Cinema HD that I love, but I am not sure if it is still up to the color matching standards that you pro media folks require. Still good enough for me though, and you can still buy reconditioned ones out there.
But really, it is just nuts to switch to PCs just because of screen issues. Just go with a Mac Mini and you can use any 3rd party monitor you want, and not have to get all new software, blah blah blah.

Yes, I found a monitor for my Mac Pro - a lovely monitor that is not gloss and not matte. It's called semi gloss and uses the Anti-Glare 3D Hard Coat made by LG who also made other Apple Monitor panels. Mine is the 27" LG E2722PY-BN with Anti-Glare 3D Hard Coat. Works for me. Since reviews and specs do not use the semi-gloss term, this LG shows up as either non-gloss, or non-matte, or Non-Glare using Anti-Glare 3D Hard Coat. I called LG technicians and found out exactly what 3D Hard Coat was before purchase. Now I'm happy. Thanks to my Apple friends for your help!

I've read about 30% of this thread and one of the other posters (SpankSpurter, I think) said that the glass was a necessary part of the design, to hold the LCD screen in place.
But what holds the glass in place?
Can't the same thing that holds the glass in place hold the matte finish LCD screen in place?
If they are going to insist on that sheet of glass, they could just as easily use anti-glare/anti-reflective glass. The stuff has been around for decades and is in common use in picture frames you can buy at Walmart for a few bucks, so it shouldn't be any more expensive than regular glass by now.
I've been looking extensively on eBay for a used MacBook (leaning towards a Pro) because I am healing up an issue with my neck. Having a notebook would be helpful with this as I could be working at home and looking slightly down at a laptop and resting my neck. However, the newer, higher horsepower ones all have the glossy screens that are going to make it diffuclt to see what I am doing. You can even see people taking eBay photos of their laptops in low light to prevent showing that they are selling a Mac with a glossy screen.

I have the 27 Inch Thunderbolt display. The only thing holding the glass is set of magnets. With a suction cup you can remove it. The LCD is secured by a set of screws. And the LCD is matte.
Theres even a company (www.macframes.com) that sells the bezzel without the glass, so you dont have to keep staring at the internals of the display after you remove the glass. They have videos showing the process.
I'am not sure its 100% matte screen, but it drastically removes the glare from my display. Its just a shame to have to buy a 1k display just to remove the glass from it. Not sure how that affects the warranty as well.
In my case, I just remove it when my eyes begin to hurt. Its simple to remove, so not that much of a problem. But really considering keeping it off permantently.

My late 2009 27" build-to-order iMac is out of warranty, so I took it apart to replace the HDD and swap the optical drive for an SSD I had sitting around.
ANYWAY.... I decided to try the computer without the clear cover over the LCD.
I NOW LOVE THE SCREEN! My eyestrain is going away also.
In the last few years, I had drastic changes in my eyes even though my eyes had changed very little in the last twenty years (almost 50 years old now).
The optometrist said it was age. My eyes have already gotten a bit better in the week since the cover was not on the screen.
I suspect it was the glossy mac that was hurting my eyes.
Best hack to my mac is removing the cover!
The inside screen is not truly matte itself, but not having a separate plane in front makes looking at this screen much much better.
c'mon apple, you can do better than doing harm to your users!
Scrap the glossy screens, or give REAL users an alternative.
fyi, much of my work involved looking at pixel level graphics since I was programming in Labview, so I may have had more of an impact than a typical apple user.

Totally agree with Maliki-digital-artist - Apple is now a complete nightmare for professional creatives and I too will move from Apple to windows. it's a real shame. I ordered my imac 27- i can't use it unless the room is completely dark. All I see are my staff going by in the reflection. I gave it to my sister. Perhaps Apple is only interested in fast pasced high gloss shinny new design for the generation Y - internet, a quick movie, or some iMovie play time. WHAT DO APPLE INHOUSE DESIGNERS USE??! Apple - it's all about consumability. You are loosing the very market who made you who you are today! The creatives. The designers. The professionals.

With a couple of suction cups, you can take off the front protective screen. That has really improved mine to the point I like it.

I agree with the sentiments here, I'm a web / graphic designer and site in a well lit office. This means galre on Apple screens really makes for strained eyes and bad backs with leaning over all the time. I would really like to see a new Thunderbolt display with a Matt finish, rather than having to rresort to removing the glass.

Hi all,
Long time lurker, but this is the first post I've made and it's to debut the WIP of my Warhammer Empire map. There are many out there of varying levels of detail and no two are exactly the same. We roleplay a lot in the Warhammer Universe, specifically in the Empire. I love all the maps out there , but having the source material all over the place was difficult as well as the scale of the maps made weren't quite what I wanted. When we roleplay, we usually have a digital version of the map on my 46" TV that we can reference. So, this map specifically is built in Layers that you can turn off and on so that as a GM I can filter only things I want my players to see.
It's s WIP still, but as it stands I did my best to compile the map from many sources, including Gitzman's map (check out gitzman's gallery website for his compilation of WH maps), Andy Law's maps (which are FANTASTIC) as well as the second edition Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay book, Sigmar's Heirs. Lastly, there is also a fair amount of guesswork and preference involved. It's vectored as well so the zoom level of the PDF is amazing and can go really close (up to 6400%). The map itself is 48x48".
Lastly, the Legend is partially incorrect as I made it early on with the idea of what I wanted on the map. To reitterate, you need to be able to view a PDF and know how to navigate layers to get the most out of the map.
I've still got plenty of work to do, but check it out.

5 digital camera features no photographer should be without
If you only ever get to grips with five digital camera features, make sure it's these…
Every camera has a plethora of different features and functions, but it can be bewildering to know which ones to use and when, so we've come-up with the five essential digital camera features you need to master to help you get perfect results every time.
Some of these, such as back-button focusing, take a little time to master, but it's well worth taking the time to get to grips with them, as once you do, you'll wonder how you ever managed without them.
No matter what subject you're shooting, we guarantee they will change the way you shoot forever, and will result not just in better images, but images that you previously thought were impossible. Don't believe us? Read on to learn more…
SEE MORE: What camera should I buy? Pros and cons of each camera type
Best digital camera features: 01 Highlight warning & histogram view
What's the feature?
These two image-review modes are essential for assessing the exposure of your images. The highlight-warning mode will show you overexposed areas as flashing pixels, while the histogram is a graph showing the distribution of the tones within the image.
How does it work?
In the playback menu you will have to select the option to display these two review modes.
Then, when you review your image, either automatically after you have taken a shot or by pressing the playback button, you can select the review mode by either pressing the info button or the top and bottom parts of the multi-controller.
If the highlight warning flashes, you will need to reduce the exposure (ie darken the whole image, so that the highlights are no longer blown).
The easiest and most intuitive way to do this is to find your camera's Exposure Compensation button or menu, and dial in a compensation value of say, -1 (negative values make the image darker, positive values brighter).
A quick test shot will confirm whether you need to dial in more or less compensation.
While the highlight warning can be useful, however, using the histogram will give you much more information about the overall exposure – if the graph is bunched up at the right, with a gap to the left, the image is over-exposed, so again, you will need to dial in some negative Exposure Compensation.
If it's bunched to the left, with a gap to the right, the image is under-exposed, so you will need to set the Exposure Compensation to a positive value.
SEE MORE: How to set up a camera for the first time – 11 things you need to do first
When should I use it?
Both of these review options can – and should – be used by default, but the highlight warning is best if you need to quickly check the exposure, while the histogram is ideal for checking under- and over-exposure, and for fine-tuning things when the exposure is critical – such as when shooting landscapes, or architecture.
Anything else I need to know?
Both the histogram and highlight-warning displays use information from a JPEG image (even if you are shooting in raw), so if you are shooting in raw, leave any Picture Styles or Controls set to neutral to get the best indication of the exposure of the raw file.

New camera anatomy: 12 key camera settings to get you started right
24 camera features every beginner must memorize
44 essential digital camera tips and tricks
Best digital camera features: 02 Live View mode
What's the feature?
The viewfinder in most cameras doesn't show you the entire image area, so your final image will include more of the scene than you can see through the viewfinder – including any distracting details near the very edges of the frame that you thought you'd cropped out!
The Live View image, on the other hand, is taken from the image sensor, so it is often much more accurate for critical framing.
How does it work?
On most models, Live View is activated by pressing a button on the back of the camera, which brings up the scene on the rear LCD. You can then use this view to accurately compose your images.
There are also a range of display options available in Live View: these will vary depending on your camera, but include a virtual horizon or grid to help you to keep the camera level, along with a histogram and shooting information displays.
You can also use the zoom buttons on the camera to zoom in on the Live View image and assess sharpness more accurately.
SEE MORE: First camera crash course – simple solutions for mastering your new DSLR
When should I use it?
Live View is better suited to static or slow-moving subjects rather than fast-moving subjects, as there's usually a slight lag with the Live View image, and autofocus is slower (see below).
If your camera has a tilting/articulated screen it's also much easier to use Live View when using high or low viewpoints than the normal viewfinder.
Anything else I need to know?
On most cameras, autofocus in Live View mode is far less responsive than traditional autofocus, and there's also a longer delay between pressing the shutter release and the camera taking a shot, so it's often better to use the viewfinder when you need to time the shot perfectly, such as with moving subjects.

Best monitor for photo editing: 4 top models tested and rated
Best digital camera features: 03 Manual AF point selection
What's the feature?
As we all know, placing a subject off-centre will often produce a better composition than having it in the centre of the frame. Your camera has several focus points positioned around the frame to allow you to focus on these off-centre subjects.
But the default setting on most models is for the camera to automatically select one of these focus points, based on what it thinks is the subject, which doesn't guarantee that it will select the right one.
How does it work?
To select individual focus points you will need to select the single AF point option in the shooting menu of your camera.
On Canon cameras, you then have to press a focus point button (or select it from the rear screen) and use the input dial or buttons to move the focus point, while on Nikon models you can simply use the four-way selector. (For other makes, see your manual.)
SEE MORE: 11 common lens errors (and how to avoid them)
When should I use it?
Taking control of the focus point is most useful if you're shooting a series of images with the subject off-centre, and you don't want to have to keep half-pressing the shutter release to lock the focus using the central focus point, and then recomposing so the subject is off-centre.
It's also vital for moving subjects, when it's all but impossible to lock the focus and recompose fast enough to keep up with the movement of the subject (see Feature 2).
Anything else I need to know?
The outer focus points on most cameras are less sensitive than the central ones.
This means that if you are shooting in low light, or with a lens with a maximum aperture smaller than f/5.6, they can struggle to focus.
In these cases, it's often better to use the central focus point, and either re-frame your image or crop in later-on.

Leaders ask why extension can't be extended to military facility
Number of homeless veterans who will be on the street when Veterans Village closes its tent
The leader of San Diego County's veterans council is protesting the closure of a homeless shelter for former military personnel while another city-funded shelter is being kept open until July — and it appears that his protest may be working.
Jack Harkins, chairman of the United Veterans Council of San Diego County, said Thursday morning that he was "amazed and disheartened" that no one considered keeping the 150-bed shelter for homeless veterans open.
Mayor Bob Filner championed a plan to spend $300,000 from the city's general fund for an extra three months of operation at a general-population shelter, which has 220 beds for single adults on the edge of downtown San Diego.
"This mayor is too well-informed on veterans issues and too strong a voice about veterans being a priority for him and his staff to be unaware we have a veterans shelter that is of extreme importance," said Harkins, a retired Marine Corps officer.
"It's inexplicable to me. I'm still somewhat shocked."
Thursday morning, Harkins said he had "strong hope" that some additional money would be found for the veterans tent, located off Rosecrans Street in Point Loma.
By 5:45 p.m., officials in the Mayor's Office had called Harkins to say they would work to extend the veterans shelter by up to two months next year.
And Filner, at a late-afternoon news conference, even left the door open to continuing it past the April 8 closing date this year.
"Clearly, I want everybody housed," Filner said. "I mean, I would like them year-round. I was simply not informed of the urgency."
The cold-weather shelter tent for veterans is a 15-year-old operation run by the nonprofit Veterans Village of San Diego. It opened in early December and is slated to close the second Monday in April. The San Diego Housing Commission provides $442,000 from federal and local dollars to cover the bulk of the expense.
The downtown general-population shelter originally had a budget of $530,000 and was scheduled to operate from Nov. 23 to April 1. Then, in late February, Filner announced a plan to extend it, thanks to a surprise city budget surplus of $3.6 million. The City Council agreed.
Harkins said 100 homeless veterans will be on the street when Veterans Village closes its tent flap in Point Loma.
While they would be eligible for the downtown shelter, that facility is at capacity, according to the Housing Commission.
About 140 people are sleeping at the veterans shelter now, but 40 of those are scheduled to enter Veterans Village residential treatment next month.
Keeping the veterans tent open longer would cost about $100,000 a month.
Finding that money might be difficult at this point because the City Council is on recess next week and couldn't take action without a special hearing.
Veterans Village President Phil Landis went from "disappointed" early Thursday to saying it would be "wonderful" if the mayor can work out extra funding for this year. He also said he'd be happy with more time next year, during the colder months. When San Diego's warm weather starts, some homeless veterans choose to sleep outside.

Hiiiii cunny lingerers!
How's by you?
Ahhhh I need to tell you I have the best work crush going right now.
|[via switchteams]
Eee hee hee we are talking a cute, kinda androgynous, totally mysterious work crush—I don't know her name, I don't know what she does at my job, I actually don't know anything about her at all except for that she has a sassy undercut and extraordinarily white teeth, which she uses to smile at me when I'm not expecting it.
This causes me to slosh coffee down my shirt in confused alarm on a near-daily basis.
My work crush's smile is what it would look like if Julia Roberts were also Jesus, and it is deeply unnerving to have it beamed in my direction at random intervals.
Y'allfags should see my vintage white angora sweater.
She just got moved into a desk that's kitty-corner from my desk at the office, and I now spend most of my work day pretending not to look at her.
This is proving difficult, as summer is coming, and she seems committed to showing the world what exactly tank tops are for.
|[via e-baloo]
She's been my work crush for almost a month now.
And it's fun! She's a reason to put on the extra-tight skirt in the morning; a reason to make a detour past her desk when I'm getting yet another coconut-flavored La Croix from the fridge.
Nothing serious.
Juuuust something to take my mind off florescent lights and copy stage meetings.
Work crushes are good for the morale, amirite?
But ok: will you do me a quick favor and pretend she's your work crush for a second?
Pretend you, like me, alllllways see her in the bathroom and the cafeteria at the same time as you and she always holds the door for you and you sometimes catch her eye when you glance over to where she sits which means she was looking at you and one time she helped you mop up a water spill and you bumped heads and giggled and you once held the door open for her and you distinctly saw her ears get red.
|[thanks Sara LK]
That's what's going on.
With all that in mind, then—what if you were, say, heading for the train after work, and you suddenly saw this Massive Work Crush of yours walking towards you from about two blocks away?
What if she looked really cute that day, her hands in her pockets, her sunglasses on and her undercut all fresh and crisp in the newly warm, sunshiney spring breeze?
|[via bklynboihood]
What if she was coming closer and closer?
What would you do?
Would you:
a) walk towards her, smiling, and say "Haaaaaaaay" while obviously checking her out;
b) walk towards her with a poker face and pretend you didn't see her (classic lesbian default move!); or
c) break out in a cold sweat panic, fumble in your bag for your phone, pull it out in order to pretend to be OMG TOTALLY IN THE MIDDLE OF AN IMPORTANT CALL SO YOU TOTALLY DON'T SEE YOUR WORK CRUSH AT ALL and, as you wildly swing the phone up to your face, watch in slow motion horror as it slips free of its case and sails through the air like a sleek silver and black dove, landing shatteringly in the middle of a busy intersection, screen smashing into several hundred pieces and skidding merrily to a stop face-up while about 30 onlookers (including your work crush) wince and go "OOOOOH SHIT" in a rare collective urban vote of sympathy?
If you chose a or b, you and I are in a fight right now.
But whatever.
Shake it off, faggettes, we cannot let being terrifically socially inept hold us back!
It's queerdyke mating season! The gays are out to play!
|[thanks kittynwong! this is amaze]
I mean, just a few weeks ago, the streets were empty.
It was fucking freezing and all any of the lesbians wanted to do was put on pajamas directly after work and watch Game of Thrones.
|(I get it. I really do.)
That is, when they weren't buying starter cultures for their homemade kombucha, brewing it in Mason jars, and posting the pics on Pinterest.
|[via http://tmblr.co/ZLnKDyJAyV4k]
It has been a long goddamn winter.
But turn the temperature up 50 degrees, and suddenly the adorable gayfolk are out in force!
I'm sitting at a coffeeshop in Andersonville watching what seems like hundreds of homos walking past, holding hands and licking ice cream cones and wearing brand-spankin', just-bought-a-new-pack-yesterday ribbed tank tops and looking fucking delighted to be outside.
|[Bibi McGill via homoarigato]
How I've missed them all.
The gay boys glistening with sweat as they walk down the street carrying gym bags.
|[thanks Mikal. SYWAD, why don't you]
The queergirls circling around on just-tuned-up bikes, flashing new tattoos and cigarettes tucked behind one ear.
|[thanks Britt G]
The book club dykes sitting outside at a cafe table drinking iced green tea, their Tevas fairly squelching with newness.
|[thanks! loveswing]
Come here you queerz I want to wear this shirt and make out with evvvvveryonnnne!!
|[get it, Dad]
Besides impending summer (and horniness!) we have a real reason to be making out—celebration!
Two minutes ago, as I was writing this mess and streaming a live news feed on my laptop at the coffeeshop, the votes clicked in.
The Minnesota Senate just voted, 37-30, to pass the gay marriage bill!!!!!
|[happy tears! happy!]
Minnesota is now the 12th state in Amurrica where homos can get legally hitched!
The first Midwest state to make gay marriage legal through a legislative vote!
|[thanks! tatsysboots]
After all this time and all the generations of struggle... the THIRD STATE TO DO SO IN TWO WEEKS!
Change is a-comin', faggettes, and it's happening faster than I ever even imagined it would.
|[thanks Kailey V.S.]
Hahahaha I don't even know what to do!
I'm by myself in a public space!
No one knows why I'm cheering! I look crazy!!
Aggghhh I'm crying.
I've been happy when other states legalized gay marriage, but the momentousness of what's happening never really hit me 'til now.
|[thanks keo and ashley]
I've always thought of Minneapolis as my home base, even though I spent my childhood in California and Wisconsin.
When I was 18, and without a thought in my head, I moved to Minneapolis, "choosing" to go college there because I was too lazy to apply to any other colleges. Totally future-oriented!
|[thanks NatFranzia]
I knew nothing about the city or the University of Minnesota, only that I had vaguely enjoyed visiting my sister in her dorm room... exactly one time.
It was (as all things are, young grasshoppers) the right place for me to be at the right time.
While I was in Minneapolis, so many things happened.
I left the Mormon church.
I figured out I was a lezzzbian.
I started doing burlesque, started writing, and found a tight-knit queer family.
|[it's meeee and Lola, Sweetpea, Coco, and Switch]
Minneapolis was my headquarters for learning how to consciously build the life I wanted to live.
I will freely admit that I love Minneapolis more than any other city, and not just because it's a wonderful, green, liberal li'l city that's not too big and not too small and has giant rambling houses with screened-in porches and cheap rent and hundreds of bike punks and a massive local food culture and quirkly little coffee shops and miles of shimmering lakes and more lesbians per square foot than a Tegan and Sara concert on Pride weekend.
|[thanks pillowtalkmpls]
All those things help, but that's not why I love Minneapolis.
I love Minneapolis because it is the first place where I ever felt like I was home.
|[This is the Blue Moon Cafe. Order a maple soy cold press and know I am incredibly jealous from afar.]
Even when I travelled—even when I moved away and then moved back and moved away again—even now, whenever I drive back into the city to visit and see the skyline rising up like a drawing in my head of how a skyline should look, I feel like I'm driving through the place I understand the most, the trees draping into the river, the names of streets and neighborhoods familiar and woodsy-sounding—Cedar, Franklin, Powderhorn, Seward, Hiawatha, Lake.
|[thanks pillowtalkmpls]
Minneapolis is my first real home.
And now everygay I know in Minnesota can finally feel like they're welcome, as they are, in the city and state they've called home for years.
|[thanks Autumn W]
Queers can get married and have the same rights as everyone else in Minnesota now, and I think that this—this basic extension of human dignity and recognition of gay relationships—is going to have a massive ripple effect in my adopted home state, a ripple effect that's already happening all over the country.
This is some historic shit!
|[thanks Devi and Kalinda]
Gays can get married, for-real-married, and it won't be—as a newly-unfriended-on-Facebook person recently put it to me—"just a couple of homosexuals giving themselves a party with cake and rings" to anyone anymore, no matter how asshole-ish they are or how they feel about queer marriage.
No one cares aboutcher shitty homophobic views anymore; the law-uh says we kin do it and that's that.
|[thanks Wendy M]
Now, I have a number of queer friends who are already engaged, or thinking extremely hard about getting married, and this just makes things even more awesome for them.
But you sluts know I like to worry.
|[thanks Allie]
And while I'm super-happy for all of Minnesota and all the couples who can now recognize their relationships with legal status...
does being able to get married mean that suddenly I have to, um, worry about getting married?
Because eeeeeek.
All my adult life, I've just blown off the marriage thing.
It was never really a question.
People would ask me if I ever wanted to get married and I would snort, "Let's see if it ever becomes legal first. Maybe then I'll think about it. Come talk to me if I can be married in one state, cross the border, and still be married."
And then one day you wake up and it's happening.
|[thanks OISHIIMOMO and Liza]
Maybe I still couldn't go for that I'm-legally-married-in-all-50-states honeymoon road trip across America just yet, but if it can happen in Minnesota, it can happen in any other state.
And (sorry bigots!) it's going to happen.
The third state in two weeks, gaymosexuelles.
Ready or not, it's time to talk about marriage, and not in a "why can't we have it???!!"-type way.
I mean, I used to be able to count on not being quizzed about marriage or baby plans in social gatherings.
I'm queer! I may not have rights, but at least I don't have to pretend to care about tying pastel-colored jordan almonds up into tiny bags of tulle!
Now I can't hide behind the "well, it's not legal so let's not worry about it" argument anymore.
It's starting to happen.
Friends, relatives - they're starting to jokingly poke me whenever someone announces their engagement and go "Ho ho ho, and when will you be tying the knot?" *wink wink*
|[thanks Anya G]
Straights have been bitching about this for shit for years, and I dunno, I always kind of assumed that my publicly avowed goal in life (to have a face full of pussy) would be my protection when it came to nosy people asking me about marriage plans.
Everyone knew I was a dyke, and so everyone left me alone about it.
|[thanks Aimee]
Now I - I - I...I might have to start giving some thought to marriage.
At some point.
Marriage as a possibility, as something that other mos might want to be shooting for during relationships.
|[thanks Autumn W]
I'm not even sure how I feel about marriage to begin with, and, while America's stance on gay marriage has been unbelievably shitty, it's also been quite a convenient way for me to not really, um, have to think about it.
My argument was:
"Gay people can't get married, legally, and I'm gay, and I'm not interested in getting married if it's not legal"
and that was that.
Ta-da! Neatly boxed and put away in my mind.
|[thanks Erin F, haaaay]
As soon as I knew I was someone who liked boobs more than almost anything else on this earth, I abandoned any thoughts of getting married.
|[you're welcome]
Wasn't gonna happen.
No white dress for meeee, well fuck, I guess I'll just have to content myself with piles of hot dyke sex.
|[marry me, jenny]
But with gay marriage slowly sweeping across the country like a drag queen's sequined train, I find myself... a little nervous about what's next, while still being thrilled for everyone who does want to exercise their access to their rights.
Not being able to get married is a lot different than consciously choosing not to.
What does this do?
Now I'm all confused.
Is it ok to still not really care about getting married, or does this put me into some kind of a "commitment-phobic" category now?
|[thanks Chyna]
With state after state voting gay marriage into law, what will happen to the queers who haven't given marriage any, er, real thought or attention whatsoever?
Are we gay dinosaurs now?

Press Release of the Day
Jim Burroway
November 1st, 2012
Less common than emails of the day, but sometimes just as crazy. This one is from PFOX's Greg Quinlan:
The homosexual push for "equal marriage," otherwise known as genderless marriage, can only lead to a ban on heterosexual rights. With a President in power who endorses gay causes and readily misuses executive orders, and emboldened by their numerous wins for gay rights at the legislative and judicial level, homosexuals have now moved beyond equal rights to the "more equal than you" level. As a result, gay organizations are working to ban that practice they fear the most — heterosexual behavior.
Witness the ban on heterosexual therapy successfully pushed by homosexual groups in California. Even though no scientific evidence exists of a "gay gene," parents in California are now prohibited from taking their children to see a therapist to resolve their child's unwanted same-sex attractions.
Quinlan has long tried to claim that "ex-gays" are a persecuted minority. It now looks like he's trying to portray straight people — over 90% of the population — as an endangered species. He calls California's law prohibiting licensed therapists from offering Sexual Orientation Change Efforts to minors a "heterosexual ban." Which somehow has something to do with same-sex marriage, even though California currently does not have same-sex marriage. Go figure.

How to photograph fireworks (and how to fake it)
How to add fireworks in Photoshop
Today is the Fourth of July – a special day for our American readers, many of whom will be venturing out in the evening to take pictures of fireworks displays in their local area.
However, night photography is one of the more challenging genres you can try and shoot, and many times people get it wrong. If you don't nail your grand finale shot, never fear. Below we show you in 10 easy steps how to add fireworks in Photoshop to make the perfect composite.
Open the start images
Launch your copy of Photoshop CS. Go to File>Open to navigate to your start images, then click-and-drag on all them to select them. Click OK to open them up. For this Photoshop tutorial we used four pictures.
Copy and paste
Select the image with the main fireworks display you want to add, grab the Lasso tool from the Tools palette and make a rough selection of the fireworks in the centre, taking care not to include any of the land features. Press Ctrl+C (Edit>Copy) to copy them, then go to Window>your image with the preferred nightscape. Press Ctrl+V (Edit>Paste) to paste the fireworks cut-out onto a new layer in the nightscape's Layers palette.
Lighten up
Now for the clever bit: to get rid of the black background so that only the fireworks are visible, click on Normal at the top of the Layers palette and select Lighten from the Blending mode drop-down menu. This ensures the pixels that are lighter in the top layer than in the bottom layer show through, while pixels that are darker don't.
Get moving
By default, the Fireworks have been pasted onto the castle image in their original position. To move them so that they're no longer obscuring the castle, make sure the fireworks layer is selected, select the Move tool from the Tools palette, and then drag the fireworks up and to the left.
Step 5: Repeat as required
To paste the next set of fireworks onto your nightscape, open one of your other images with the secondary displays and repeat Steps 2 and 3, making sure you select the Lasso tool before you make your selection. Once you've changed the Blending mode of your new Fireworks layer to Lighten, grab the Move tool again to drag it above the castle.
Step 6: Position with care
To paste the remaining fireworks onto our final version, open another of your images with the smaller, secondary displays and repeat Steps 2-4. This is what we did, this time dragging the fireworks to the top right-hand corner of the frame. Because these fireworks were cropped in the original image, you need to ensure that they're placed at the right-hand edge of the frame so that the trails don't stop mid-air.
Add a reflection
Depending on where you've placed the first set of fireworks, you may need to create a reflection in the moat. To do this, make sure Layer 1 is selected and then press Ctrl+J to copy it. Next, go to Edit>Transform >FlipVertical to create a mirror image of this layer. Double-click on the words Layer 1 Copy in the Layers palette to rename it Layer 1 Reflected.
Line it up
Because this new layer is a copy of the original Fireworks layer, its Blending mode is already set to Lighten, so you don't need to worry about getting rid of the black background. To reposition the flipped fireworks, drag Layer 1 Reflected below Layer 1, then grab the Move tool and drag the flipped fireworks down until they're in the right place.
Add some blur
As the castle image was captured at a shutter speed of 15sec, the water in the moat is slightly blurred, as is evident in the reflection of the castle. To blur the fireworks' reflections so that they look realistic, select Layer 1 Reflected, zoom in on the reflected fireworks and go to Filter>Blur>Gaussian Blur. Set Radius to 2 pixels and then click OK.
Tone things down
The reflection of the castle isn't as bright as the castle itself, so the reflected fireworks shouldn't be as bright as the actual fireworks. To tone them down, select Layer 1 Reflected and drag the Opacity slider to 80%. Repeat Steps 7-10 for the other sets of Fireworks if required. Go to File>SaveAs to save it as a TIFF or JPEG.

Expanding Persistent Surveillance Capabilities
What is it?
Persistent Surveillance requires the synchronization and integration of networked sensors and analysts across the force. Maneuver forces must be able to detect, identify, locate, and track targets in near-real-time in order to warn friendly forces, develop the situation prior to contact, and take advantage of fleeting opportunities. This requires fielding of advanced Reconnaissance, Surveillance, Targeting, and Acquisition/intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (RSTA/ISR) capabilities.
What has the Army done?
The Army is expanding its persistent surveillance capability through both manned and unmanned systems, including "Shadow" Tactical Unmanned Aerial Systems (TUAS) and MQ-1C "Sky Warrior" Extended Range/Multi-Purpose (ER/MP) UAS; modernized Guardrail Common Sensor and Airborne Reconnaissance-Low manned fixed-wing sensor platforms; advanced ground-based systems such as the Prophet family of SIGINT systems, advanced Measurement and Signature Intelligence (MASINT) systems, and sophisticated Biometrics capabilities. The Army's "Shadow" TUAS program provides dedicated, responsive surveillance and targeting support to BCT and BN forces out to a range of 125 kilometers. The MQ-1C "Sky Warrior" ER/MP UAS fielding began in 2007 to provide long-dwell, day/night, multi-sensor reconnaissance surveillance, and target acquisition support to maneuver commanders out to 300 kilometers. Additionally, the Army has fielded three ground MASINT sensors in Afghanistan and Iraq to enhance Soldier situational awareness and cue other RSTA/ISR systems to enemy presence and activity for positive identification and action. Biometrics systems are assisting in efforts to separate the enemy from the population by establishing positive identification of individuals. The Army has fielded over 2,500 Biometric Automated Toolsets and more than 6,000 Handheld Interagency Identification Detection Equipment devices in response to warfighter requirements. Together all these systems provide dedicated, downward-focused, and responsive RSTA/ISR capability to warfighting units.
What continued efforts does the Army have planned for the future?
Army will continue to integrate lessons learned from operational experiences in Afghanistan, Iraq, Korea, and elsewhere into this critical Army Intelligence Transformation initiative. Aerial Common Sensor (ACS) is the Army's next-generation manned, multidiscipline, multi-sensor airborne RSTA/ISR collection system, capable of fusing data collected by ER/MP and other RSTA/ISR platforms in near real-time and providing cueing necessary for effective manned-unmanned teaming while supporting sensor to shooter and shooter to sensor operations. With the first operational aircraft planned for FY 2015, ACS will be capable of receiving data from non-Army ISR platforms and performing on-board fusion analysis with Distributed Common Ground System-Army (DCGS-A) in direct support of ground tactical Commanders.
Why is this important to the Army?
RSTA/ISR is an Army core competency as identified in the Army Campaign Plan and listed within the Army's Roles and Missions in the FY08 Quadrennial Roles and Missions Review/Quadrennial Defense Review. RSTA/ISR enhances Army Intelligence readiness, leverages joint/national capabilities, and integrates with Battle Command at all levels to generate "actionable intelligence".

Characterization of findings in APS−/− mice. A: Northern blot analysis for APS mRNA from various normal mouse tissues: adipose tissue, heart, brain, skeletal muscle, spleen,
lung, liver, and kidney. We loaded 2 μg poly (A)+ mRNA in each lane. B: Northern blot analysis for APS mRNA was done on adipose tissue and skeletal muscle to confirm the complete deletion of APS
in APS−/− mice. We loaded 2 μg poly (A)+ mRNA prepared from APS−/− or APS+/+ mice in each lane. C: APS protein expressions of liver, skeletal muscle, and adipose tissue were identified using Western blot analysis; 1 mg
crude protein extraction of each tissue prepared from APS−/− or APS+/+ mice was immunoprecipitated (IP) and immunoblotted (IB) using anti-APS COOH-terminus antibody (10), as described in research design and methods.

Well, I´m not sure if Ps3news have a site they would want to recommend but you can go to SwapMagic3.com to find a list of vendors.
I tried Micro Machines on Pgen on party mode because it supports multiple players but it wouldn´t accept the controllers. I´m not sure if this is because of they way you have to reset the controller everytime you go into ps2mode.
Then again I don´t have the multitap so I´, not sure if it supports multiple players even on the ps2

Got something on your mind? Tell us how we can improve our site.Feedback
It's double delight today as not one but two(!) incredibly hot Abby models share that most intimate of girlie pleasures. Katherine and Hayley sit side by side to caress, giggle and tease each other before their hands slowly snake down to the hot spot between their thighs... Naturally delicious!
Mirabelle's heart shaped face lights up when she talks about her global travel plans - she's jetting off on a round the world trip soon so keep your eyes peeled for her in your home city!
With an amazing arse and the eagerness to caress her skin, she's sure to become your new favourite model. Bonus! She's not wearing a bra under that white top...
Probably thinking really naughty thoughts to get herself in the mood, hippy girl Chanise loves her body. Taking long, sweeping strokes, she takes her time to build her passion, the warm heat between her legs finally taking over for a passion-filled, moan inducing natural orgasm. Not to be missed!
A returning model (so you can check out all her other HOT shoots), Julia is a fun-loving babe with a killer smile and one heck of a seductive stare! She's alone just for you today, teasing and toying with you. She s-l-o-w-l-y undresses, keeping you on the edge of your seat before rewarding with some juicy delights!
Australia is so deliciously multicultural and today's new model Mirabelle has that certain exotic flavour! Her smooth, tanned skin against the white walls looks so kissable and so touchable and so...er, where was I?
She's drool worthy and I know you're going to love this sweet hottie - thanks to Jacki for the awesome photography!
Pint-sized pleasure with large, smiling doe eyes that twinkle and tease with every coy grin...Nashi is today's new video and she's open, honest about her life, she loves travelling and her experiences in Australia have taught her a lot about herself. She chats casually about what turns her on as she bends over and toys with the waistband on her knickers..yum!
Did you know Susie is probably one of the first abbygirls ever?! She was right there from the beginning of this website 9 years ago and after doing loads of shoots as a model, she stepped behind the lens, becoming a staff member!
Back again for one last shoot, she tells you about her experiences with abbywinters.com and shows off her still mighty fine body!
Do you like petites? Looking super cute in her white shorts and white cotton tank top, today's new model Nashi is a pocket full of fun!
Round, pert bum cheeks that look incredibly lickable and I'm sure would feel really good to squeeze- plus the added bonus of a gorgeous red lace bra to cup her yummy breasts!
Exquisitely teasing, intensely erotic, this passionate video set today captures everything wonderful about raw girlgirl sex.
Pale skin is explored, treasured, caressed and every inch is kissed. Maria and Tricia enjoy long sessions of passionate breast play before some urgent penetration takes them gasping and moaning over the edge!
Luanna's not wearing any undies.... and that's great news for you as the view of her fingers easing in and out of her juicy pussy while the other hand whizzes around her clit is truly boner-inducing!
She's quite subtle in the sounds she makes but there's no mistaking the tensing of her back, the increase in pressure and the quivers that run through her as she gets closer to natural orgasm...
Hao is just one of the many stunning Asian abby girls who've gotten a little naughty and revealed themselves just for you!
Our List system will help you find your way around our huge catalogue of content and the forums are a great place to ask questions and get help finding a model. Jenny-Lee is an awesome Asian-Australian and you can talk to her right now!
Susie has a bright, glossy mop of jet black hair and a blunt fringe that seductively hides her large brown eyes. A cute button nose she sometimes wrinkles up with a stellar smile to brighten the darkest of rooms.
We're very lucky to bring you another beautiful shoot from long time abbywinters.com model Susie...Enjoy!
A casual stroll in the sand with two horny redheads turns a bit cheeky! Some knowing glances are swapped and a loving kiss turns heated, the girls hands slipping under tops and down each other's pants! Sex by the sea has never been so good!
Don't forget to check out the other hot shoots these two have sizzled in!
A long tumble of black hair that matches the thicket of curls covering her soft pussy lips and a brilliant, natural smile to light up a room, it's Hao's first time in front of the abbywinters.com camera, and she's not shy at all! Beautiful, pale white skin she eagerly reveals...just for you!
Lace bras, coy smiles and cute little frowns abound as Katarina flexes and caresses her firm young body...that is - until she bends right over to peel down her leggings...
There's a little bit of music to go with this video, and it fits purrfectly as the camera zooms in on all the important parts! Enjoy!
We never know exactly what's going to happen when we leave two girls alone to masturbate, there could be a bit of boob comparison, some touching, shy looks and giggles or even outright sex!
Col & Marika are filmed from two angles, letting you see all the good stuff as they lick and suck their way to pleasure!
Creamy skin, sugary sweetness and one of the downright naughtiest smiles I've known, Allison is the dessert you've been waiting for! She's such a perfect blend of nice and naughty - she's pure and tender but at the same time frank about all the incredible sex she's had - describing everything in delicious detail...Spoil yourself!
Babe of the site, Petria owes her stunning looks to her Chilean ancestry, but she doesn't owe anyone for her incredibly sweet, always quirky personality! After viewing her super yummy masturbation video, make sure you check out her other shoots and then chat to her directly on the message boards!
It's monochrome fun today as lithe minx Katarina wiggles her firm young arse and toys with you. Her fiery eyes are hauntingly beautiful, her looks are piercing, suggesting she knows exactly what you want. She peels her clothes off and lets you drink in every inch of her body...She's naturally delicious!

Goldman Issues Netflix (PT: $200) Update: Sees Facebook As A "Credible Threat"
- advertisements -
I wondered how facebook was going to make serious coin. Twitter next.
This is complete bullshit. Facebook doesn't stand a chance against netflix. They are offering $3 online rentals. Sorry that isn't even a good deal. Why pay $3 when you can rent from redbox for $1.
Add to that the fact that Netflix has FREE streaming of online movies. If netflix decided to make premium online movie rentals, I bet they could do it at $1 to compete with redbox.
I'm guessing there are alterior motives to this announcement by Goldman. Could they already be invested into Facebook to reap the rewards when people jump ship from Netflix over to facebook when FB becomes publicly traded. Go to hell GS and take your crappy social network with you.
It's just a beginning, once Facebook connects more studios and content providers to its online streaming services, they will definitely have a stronger bargaining power to drive the prices down. They do have one big hammer in their hands, and it's their 600 mln people user base, one click away from purchase - no subscription needed, just put the credit card details. FB can change this market in quite a short period of time, I'd give them one year to struck some good deals with studios, develop additional functionality to lure more lemmings to buy movies by integrating service into social network context, i.e. 'watched that movie, luved it, share' button.
This is complete bullshit. Facebook doesn't stand a chance against netflix. They are offering $3 online rentals. Sorry that isn't even a good deal. Why pay $3 when you can rent from redbox for $1.
If shitbook can convince the studios to do exclusive deals and close out unlimited monthly streaming they may have something. This of course would be a loss for consumers.
But $3 to watch a 3 year old movie is moving Netflix down is just another sign of toppy market.
'Unlimited' to consumers is smart. Netflix's costs are generated per view. No one in Hollywood would be so stupid to let Netflix have some kind of flat-fee/buffet deal.
Facebook could become a credible threat. It is one the most effective tool of social media which is very helpful in boosting up the reputation of our business.
I'd give them one year to struck some good deals with studios,
haha! You don't know studios. There are no 'good' deals for anyone BUT the studios. The studios are unsurpassed experts at separating fools from their money. Facebook's sponsors are fools.
We'll see, you could be right since youtube even with its massive number of users and a platform that is almost perfectly designed for the same thing, didn't achieve much of a success. Could also be the case of Goldman, another expert on separating fools from their money, talking more 'sophisticated' investors into FB private placement before the latter goes public.
We believe that many of the issues outlined above could be fixed over time, including the gap to the living room TV.
What gap to the living room TV? And with the Bionic and Atrix coming on line? Morons!
The 'gap' is getting the internet onto your tv AND THEN being able to use a TV remote to essentially operate a browser. Many of us just connect a laptop to an open port on the TV and can deal with the less optimal user experience of getting one's @ss off the couch to get around netflix.
Somewhat related.....
The content owners (studios) want to monetize *every* single view of any given show and get lots more personal information. The absolutely control the way this technology is developing by picking winners and litigating losers. Netflix is small business. Less than half of homes have it. Not much money for Hollywood.
The 'dvd' revenue model made the studios richer than the VHS that made them richer than theaters. The streaming revenue model will be even more expensive to consumers and make even more money for the studios.
The studios will probably go with a TPM to lock you out of your personal devices. They are good enough security, very uniquely identify you, and they can easily turn everything into a pay-per-view. Given FB is owned by a trusted capitalist, there's good reason for netflix to worry.
the "gap" between your pc and the tv is the most important part of this puzze. The reason every person i know uses netflix is that they can stream movies to their tv/couch using their existing xbox/ps3/wii. Until facebook streams content on all of these 3 consoles they won't gain any serious traction.
$3 is more than i am willing to pay if i can't watch it on my tv. Streaming to my pc is boring and i have no intention of watching a 2 hr movie at my desk.
Goldman-Facebook: "Wisdom between friends."
NFLX being thrown under the bus today.
In investing $450 million in the social networking giant, Goldman has established itself as the leading candidate to win the lucrative and prestigious assignment of Facebook's initial public offering…. Looking out for big dadda SKANKFEIN...People will get sick of the ads and pop-ups and facebook will become a joke.
i still don't understand these movie viewers income stream. i thought most users who log on a daily basis, probably aren't full time employed.where are they getting the money to rent these movies? i think it is just an addiction to watch the boob tube. it is rote† jiust staring at the picture tube does it for them. hell facebook should just get a tv series and be done with it.
The culture is wasting its time.
Goldman and its "clients" of course are very and deeply "long" everything Facebook....
great facebook search tool
FACEBOOK won't be able to take marketshare from Netflix!
I wonder how many Americans have a digital home cinema. And MAYBE, 10% of these might cross over in time.
And those who have want to watch S HD movies only.
Wow. Takedown.
Be interesting to look at who has been selling chunks in the past week or so, could be quite a tell.
But I really think that all this mind-melting-media should go into he toilet, never to return in this cancerous form.
I look around and I see metastasised thinking. Mad, needing it's daily chemo just to stay insane. and facebook, talk about a social engineering masterpiece.
The sooner they all burn (the sun will do it, mercifully), the sooner we can return to sanity and build something meaningful.
I had an idea about facebook taking over the entertainment market, or rather, vice versa.Facebook will be bought by a Tech Giant:
Facebook, or Amazon, Hulu, Walmart or any of the potential competive services do not have to become a "credible threat" to business of Netflix to tank Mr. Hasting's stock. Rather, all these services need do is accelerate the inevitible slowing in its subscriber growth. For once the "growth at any multiple monkeys" lose faith, the shortcomings of the business model will come to the fore: The subscriber economics of this business warrant a single digit earnings multiple. Four percent monthly subscriber churn, coupled with collapsing free cash flow per subscriber create one impenetrable brick wall for this stock.
Once again. Products on offer by NFLX et all are available free online.
http://www.bringmovies.com/videos/1247/the-kings-speech-(2010)-part-01-videoweed.html Part 2 follows.
Took me a Google search to find that. Some films can be a little harder but not often. Stagevu also hosts a hell of a lot of films in DVD quality.
The high price FBOOK and Warner are charging might also be negative for NFLX if it is in anyway indicative of content prices they will have to pay once current deals expire.
Although I agree with Goldman on negative netflix outlook, this is obviously a pull to raise the POS facebook ipo as much as possible. Maybe now they can do a private placement for 1% of the company valuing fb at 100 billion. It will be interesting to see how long it takes for facebook to go below the ipo price. My guess is less than a month.
Goldman has no conflict, of course, being that they have a front (if token) investment in Facebook, as they are the agent for taking it into a private offering to non-U.S. "lucky" investors.
OPEN business model is next facebook target after streaming media is conquered.
I don't want to root for facebook or GS, but if they can harness the networking capabilities, this will be the preeminent way an important demographic does business.
There currently is a "facebook connect" application between facebook and OpenTable, but it is not difficult to see facebook cut the middle man out and it will be much better able to monetize the dining experiences.
After that, PCLN perhaps? The more you think about it, the more you see facebook having the opportunity of being the great aggregator. People generally love bragging about spending money on crap on facebook whether they realized it or not (vacations, dinners, iCrap). A fully aggregated facebook will further enable them to squander their capital and "compete" with their "friends."
And congrats to Whitney Tilson for top-ticking his short covering trades.
look at this nice evening star in weekly candles and much divergences in uptrend. the big shorters had capitulated. see ya @ 100 in 2011. On a technical base( and not only this) this pig is death.
Yes, the greatest propaganda tool potential of anything ever, facebook. Or whatever replaces it, or the one after that.
Basically they have monkeys sitting around trying to figure out how 600 million people can be mobilized for profit. Good luck with that. Hard to engineer manufuactured, viral business opportunities (and be fast enough to monetize it). Although if you drop 1000 eggs off your roof, one might land in a way that doesn't crack it. Of course with so many people, any lame idea has a chance to fool a million or so.
The fucking oprah effect is what they are going after. The stretch of psychology of them thinking 'facebook' users consider themselves a part of a club like Oprah's book club would make even Freud blush. Good luck controlling it, and see how long it lasts if achieved in any form.
Plus one can always google it.

Yes, Newt Gingrich beat Mitt Romney to the punch by releasing his most recent tax returns. But Gingrich still hasn't disclosed how he earned most of his $3.1 million.
Gingrich's 2010 return shows that $2.4 million of his income came in regular payments, in addition to his salary, from different businesses he ran before announcing his candidacy for president.
Those businesses managed speaking engagements, appearance fees, consulting work, book and video deals, and paid positions that Gingrich held in other groups.
Gingrich doesn't identify where the money came from or the amounts he received from his consulting business.
His campaign hasn't decided whether it will release further information about Gingrich's income.
Other GOP presidential candidates, including Romney and Rick Santorum, have provided details of such income.
