Interesting. Fortunately this sort of thing won't happen here in the US of A. Too much money is at stake to upset the flow.
Well, now I feel like a dick for whining about abstinence education and Pat Robertson all day.
I find myself wondering what, say, Dan Lewis and Kathy Goertzen would do in such a situation.
Ask most TV reporters and they'll probably tell you it's already too late for the U.S.; thanks to media deregulation during the 1980's, and subsequent consolidation, the teeth have already effectively been extracted from television news journalism.
Were the kind of political disturbances that are currently occuring in places like Georgia and Myanmar ever to happen in this country, there would be liitle need for the government to send in special forces to shut down TV news bureaus; station management will already be standing by ready to flip the "off" switch at a moment's notice.
Could y'all provide a link to the embedded video so I can cross post it please.
wow. chilling is the right word. very V for Vendetta. but real.
I knew I wouldn't have to wait long for a Naomi Klein style "it's happening here now" comment or a Noam Chomsky style "the capitalist-media complex has already made this happen here" comment, and Comte didn't disappoint.
News flash to leftists whose world-view is threatend by anything that suggests that the U.S. is not the most evil thing ever: you aren't convincing anybody. The U.S. has many faults, but ruthless government supression of political dissent is not one of them. I'd glad to see that Dan Savage still has enough hard-boiled journalist in him to keep his perspective on this.
@5: You can click within any YouTube video to get to the original page, which contains the embed code.
Bloody hell.
So much for the article in Monday's NYT where a spokesman for Sakashvili referred to the protests as a healthy part of democracy.
David @7: although I agree that we are lucky that we don't face anything like the people of Georgia, Comte has a point. We may never see this kind of overt supression of political dissent, but as media outlets are consolidated, it becomes easier for the government to use backdoor methods of controlling the information we receive. Moyer's documentary "Selling the War" did a good job of highlighting how that's possible.
On the other hand, I'd love to see how Jim Foreman would handle something like this,
Yes, thank you David for your expert analysis. Next time I need to check the pulse of the current state of the news media, I'll be sure not to ask people who, like, you know, actually work in the industry - I'll just wait for you to impart your obviously superior knowledge on the rest of us.
And you DO understand that positing a hypothetical situation, as I did, isn't at all the same thing as saying it's actually going to occur, right?
No, for actual examples of the suppression of political speech in this country, one only needs to ask a few people:
- Ask Jeff and Nicole Rank whether the suppression of political speech exists in this country.
- Ask the members of dozens of law-abiding organizations who were put under covert surveillance by the NYPD prior to the 2004 Republican Convention whether law enforcement agencies in this country ever attempt to suppress political speech.
- Ask the tens of thousands of law-abiding protestors who have been herded into "free speech zones", not because they posed a physical threat to anyone, but because they posed a political threat, whether this administration has ever attempted to suppress political speech.
- Ask the UC Santa Cruz students who ended up on a Pentagon "credible threat list" for peacefully demonstrating against army recruitment on their own campus, whether the military has ever attempted to suppress political speech in this country.
- Ask the Morton West High School students who just a couple of days ago were suspended, and may be expelled, for peacefully protesting military recruiters on their own campus, whether people in authority ever attempt to suppress political speech in this country.
I could go on-and-on, but maybe you're starting to get the point.
Sure, none of these incidents involved being forced to the ground with a gun to anyone's head, but that doesn't make the attempts on the part of the people in power any less ruthless.
But then, I suppose it all depends on what your definition of "ruthless" is, right?
If thats the case then Kieth Olbermann is a Bush stooge who they let just go on and on how effed up president and his gang are. Wheres the parallel
I haven't finished watching the video so I don't mean to sound like a dick, but my first impression is that the set at the one station with the bright orange paper is HOT TO DEATH. I could look at that for hours. Also: so is the male newscaster.
It is happening here! Comte refers to the Ranks who were arrested by the Secret Service for wearing anti-Bush T-shirts at an event where President Cretin was due to snicker and snort and drool.
Needless to say, the Commander-in-Criminal-Chicanery only appears before pre-sanitized audiences: the Lock-Steppers, the 29%ers and palsied clutches of Scared Straight American White Men.
No ruthless government here, huh?
I invite anyone who thinks that to come and meet me out for a few drinks some night so they can tell that to my scarred face.
@ 8 thanks!
Those videos are chilling.
Comte: Is that really you at 12 or is that someone trying to make you look the fool?
Comte: Is that really you at 12 or is that someone trying to make you look the fool?
Your evidence for ruthless supression of political opposition are some high school students that weren't allowed to hold a protest in the halls of their school and some people who were wrongly asked to leave by some dumb, over-eager secret service agents and later got an $80K settlement from the government for their trouble? Oh, and "free speech zones" are not a creation of "this administration". They date back at least to the Clinton administration and are employed primarily by the municipal governemnts of such right-leaning cities as New York, Seattle, and San Francisco.
And then you imply that these incidents should be classified as "ruthless supression" by any reasonable definition of the term. Oh yeah, and then you call me an "Assberg", whatever that is.
Yes, that post is clearly the work of an impostor trying to make you look bad.
Yah, I *think* the trouble is really in Georgia here folks. Why does the world have to revolve around the United States in everything we think and do even when here, the REAL situation and tragedy is in another country. Let's feel sorry for the folks in Georgia for okay, can we do it? 5 seconds before making this into an argument about the United States? A little respect people.
Why does the world have to revolve around the United States in everything we think and do even when here, the REAL situation and tragedy is in another country. Let's feel sorry for the folks in Georgia for okay, can we do it?
Yes, let's all feel sorry for the Georgians. That will help.
Or, let's take a minute to consider that the evolving situation in former Eastern Bloc nations has the potential to result in direct conflicts with Western European border nations. We might also consider that, having bankrupted ourselves with a massive trade imbalance and a war that is essentially a giant giveaway to the remnants of our Cold War military industrial complex, the United States might actually be incapable -- materially incapable -- of intervening in such a conflict.
I guess that's the part that kind of concerns me.
Would Ken Schramm have the fortitude to step up and give them a Schrammie?
"Ruthless, adj. Without pity or compassion."
You were the one who attempted to frame the debate in terms of that word, not me. Please review examples cited, and get back to me when you can refute that any of them (or the scores of other examples out there that could have been used in their place) DON'T fit that definition.
If you wanted to frame the debate in terms of say, violent suppression of political expression in this country, well there are likewise plenty of examples from which to choose, but let's just pick some of the highlights: the Bay View Massacre, The Haymarket Riots, The Chehalis and Everett Massacres, the Seattle General Strike, the Ludlow Massacre, Kent State, The 1968 Chicago Democratic Convention riots, the murder by federal agents of Blank Panther Party members Mark Clark and Fred Hampton, the seige of Wounded Knee SD by federal agents in 1973, the firebombing of Operation MOVE HQ in Philadelphia in 1985 - and oh, a little thing we here like to call "the battle in Seattle" - just for starters - does any of THAT ring a bell?
Anyone who makes the absurd assertion that agencies of local, state and the federal government haven't engaged in violent suppression of political speech in this country really ought to take a refresher course in U.S. History.
Or, maybe you just go back to peddling LaRouche screeds in front of the QFC.
Government: A body of people
It always amuses (ironic use) that people refer to ruthless "government." Government is just a body of people that constructs an identity. The events you refer to, Comte, while terrible result from TONS of different situations that involve the government (ie a body of people) but aren't influenced only by them. The hysteria around the Haymarket Riots wasn't a result of just the corrupt government of the time, but also the common person's fear of labor unions, a whole new body of people. Unless you hold to the conspiracy that the "Government" set off the bombs in order to kill the policemen so they could frame the anarcists?
I'm not at all convinced the Chicago authorities had anything to do with the Haymarket bombing per-se, but clearly the enormous level of violence inflicted on strikers, unionists, and their supporters by police and state militias during the previous year, and leading up to the May 1886 riots was unquestionably a contributing factor.
Sure, but you can blame the private security groups hired by businesses as much as the government... after all, Washington was loathe to send soldiers in until the violence had esculated to the point where only trained soldiers could knock it down. And the strikers weren't innocent of violence, either. If anything, I've always made the assumption that our government is violent because we as a people are pretty violent.

This is a discussion on I can't believe I'm saying this.... within the General Firearm Discussion forums, part of the Related Topics category; I own Glocks, and carry one. They work. They are uber RELIABLE. They are reasonably accurate, can't compare to my Sigs, but given a choice ...
I own Glocks, and carry one. They work. They are uber RELIABLE. They are reasonably accurate, can't compare to my Sigs, but given a choice in lets say,a zombie insurrection, the only sidearm to have is a GLOCK 17,19,26 whatever.
No other handgun can compare.Period.
I feel the same way, just may not have posted it like that.

"You may know where you are. God may know where you are. If you don't tell your dispatcher where you are, you'd better be on speaking terms with God!"
I can't argue against the fact that a Glock works up their with the best of 'em, but man they're just so ugly!
And not all Glocks work right out of the box either, even with their production advantages. I've seen plenty that have "issues". I've run a 3" (supposedly the most "unreliable", even according to 1911 die-hards) stock, out-of-the-box mass produced 1911 through a 1000-round, multi-day course, side-by-side with Glocks, with no cleaning or additional lubrication during that time, and had it run perfectly (as did most of the other 1911s there, all of which were "out-of-the-box" guns - and most of the Glocks did as well) while watching several Glocks malfunction. Don't get me wrong, I think Glocks are fantastic guns, especially for the money. But they're not significantly better than several other designs out there. I've seen Glocks malfunction far more often than Sigs, for instance, though I have other concerns with Sig products. Glock is just one option, with it's own advantages and disadvantages. It's not "Perfection" or anything close to it, despite what the Glock marketing department and the kool-aid drinkers would have us believe.
If you want a really good, cheap gun that will almost always run well right out of the box, and you're willing to accept inferior ergonomics and trigger-pull (both of which can be improved quite a bit on a Glock - but then we're not talking "stock" anymore) to get it, then it's very hard to beat a Glock. On the other hand, if you're not willing to make those trade-offs, and are willing to spend more money up-front rather than modifying it later or training yourself to compensate for an inferior ergonomic and action design, then there are better guns out there for you. But it's totally personal, not an objective "better" or "worse" scenario.

My first Glock was my third gun purchase. It was an impulse buy. I could not get myself to buy one because of the bad mouthing on the forums and the what I thought was ugly look of the gun. The grip angle never bothered me. I now consider a G19 my primary. I have nothing but good things to say about a Glock. They Rock..
As with most of you, I love all guns. But, I can't say that I love them all equally. I have a "form follows function" mentality, that makes Glocks look good to me. Combine that with my strong belief in "Ockhem's Razor", and I guess it's Glocks for me. As far as the looks of my carry gun (G26), all I see is the front sight, and all the BG sees is a flash. And their legendary reliability lets me sleep at night, knowing that if I ever do have to show it to some BG, there is no doubt about it going BANG
Glock 26/19/17
Catchy sig line under construction.
A well-made 1911 is already well-tuned, out of the box. By well-tuned I didn't mean "tweeked". Glocks come out of one factory, made by the people who designed them, etc., so comparing 1911s with Glocks, without some kind of qualifier, is comparing apples and oranges.
No matter how you slice it, the 1911's don't enjoy the same reputation for reliability as the glocks over the long haul.
and you're willing to accept inferior ergonomics and trigger-pull
Thats a rather subjective statement to say the least.
All the reasons you've covered as to why the 1911 isn't as reliable doesn't change the fact that buying one is taking more risk of malfs than a glock on the streets overall.
With a 1911, you feel lucky to get one that runs out of the box and continues to do so for thousands of rds without a malf. With a glock, you feel unlucky to get one that doesn't run right out of the box. The difference is night and day. All the excuses in the world don't change that fact for the majority of the buying public
The mind is the limiting factor
Quick Kill Rifle and Pistol Instructor
Oh well I'm not the majority of the buying public and I'll take the 1911 and my own experiences with it over the Glock.
You gotta go with what you know folks.
What I base my own decisions on in this matter comes from 32 years of carrying the 1911 platform [ from 1972 to 2004 ], mostly govt and commander models while working the streets [ Colts and SA's ] . That would mean it's likely I've carried that one platform over a longer time period than most have carried a gun posting here, and certainly longer than most who now carry a 1911 platform posting here.
Based on that 32 years of carrying and owning all kinds of 1911's, not one was as reliable as any one of my glocks have been. People can claim the ergos are wrong, triggers aren't acceptable, etc all day long and it doesn't change the fact that the glock platform enjoys a excellent reliability reputation across the board, and the 1911's for the most part do not. There's a reason for that, and I'm not prone to spend 1K or more for a 1911 to be it's "probably as reliable as a glock"
I'm not badmouthing the 1911 platform. If I had major issues with it, I would not have carried it all those years on the streets [ 28 on the streets of the 32 with the 1911 ] when it was my backside on the line or shot it in competitons for many years. I like a finely made 1911, I shoot them very well, but no better than my glocks which I've carried for only 4 years now.

Cool Image!!!
ohhh my i do love this one
Thank you.
sure i made a fanfic over sombras backstory dam this photo make me think of that...
Well I wanted to go for the idea of conveying power with him, when you look into this stallions eyes you are looking into the personification of fear itself and I think I did alright with that concept. Plus I just simply wanted Sombra to look awesome and had fun doing it. :3
yes i must say he is awsome lokking hey if you want i post a link for my fanfik... www.youtube.com/watch?v=-6RJEv… hope you like it
phenomenal. a visual feat, i love the flames coming from the eyes. the colors are stunning and i get the sensation of movement from green against the magenta. EXEMPLARY!
Did you ask Equestria-Prevails if you could use their art and edit it
I did not originally, I had trouble locating the original source and recently updated the page to include the source to his/her image. I will take down the piece if he/she wants it taken down however.
Hello Lo-23 I love this picture very much, i first saw it on ponysquare and i very very much wanted to use it for my new dark orchestral song and i asked them if i could but didn't receive any reply so ages and ages, i LOVE this drawing and i have only just recently discovered that you are the artist here on diviant art, i am so sorry i took any credit away from you thinking it was done by ponysquare, can i ask will you please let me use your incredible work of art for my song? Thank you so much.
Overlord: "this is my pony"
King Sombra: "Fillies & gentlecolts...
You might think of me as a heartless tyrant, I like to think of myself as a teacher...
Lesson no. 1, Heroes: there is NO. SUCH. THING."
You might think of me as a heartless tyrant, I like to think of myself as a teacher...

I want to see more of Sombra, as well as all the series' true villains. I didn't think Sombra could get more badass (Or badflank, what have you) and then I see this.
Thank you. I'm also glad how well it turned out and some great fan art I found that worked so well for a stock for this piece. He has a badass look, hopefully he may return in some way rather than just being one note.
Erh mah gerd! This is awesome! Also, did anyone else get a Makuta Terridax vibe from him during the two episodes he was in?
I think its lack of Gak is fine. Sadly the Gak got more screen time than Sombra. Hopefully he'll come back though.
needs more gak
I mostly do sig artwork at 500x250. I might do a wallpaper later on but C4Ds are harder to blend in on larger resolutions.
discord is still my fav vlan but king sombra is amazing for a compleatly difrant resons
Why so small? That looks like it could be a wallpaper.

Ultimate SuperCoach form guide
- From: Herald Sun
- February 18, 2013
SUPERCOACHES starved of AFL action can rest easy with only 32 more sleeps until the real stuff begins. So begs the question: Who are the stand outs from NAB Cup Round 1 action?
A couple of familiar types come to mind, with the likes of Brendon Goddard, Matthew Boyd and inked Magpies Dane Swan and Dayne Beams opening their 2013 accounts in style.
Add to the mix a number of players who stepped up, either at new clubs or first-timers on the AFL stage, including Nick Lower, Kyle Martin and Nick Kommer, and you've got a recipe for success.
While the preseason competition's format, games consisting of two 20-minute halves, is not ideal for SuperCoach form analysis it does provide an insight on how a player is tracking this time of year.
Michael Barlow is one who looks to have benefitted from a strong preseason while teammate Hayden Crozier appears more comfortable at AFL level.
Meanwhile, Geelong young gun George Horlin-Smith showed promise in the midfield as did Eagle Mark Hutchings.
Then yesterday we saw the likes of emerging Adelaide forward Josh Jenkins, who looks a good replacement for Kurt Tippett.
Scroll down to read who @gilbertgardiner and @nicksmart85 rated as some of the better SuperCoach performances to come out of last weekend's round of matches.
Brendon Goddard $541,500 mid/def
BJ was the standout with a combined 23 possessions including nine marks and a goal in little over 80 minutes against Collingwood and the Western Bulldogs.
He had the ball on a string against the Doggies accumulating possessions without really dominating the spotlight.
But it was against the Magpies where he stood tall, almost single-handedly clawing the Bombers back into contention, with a goal and narrow miss – hitting the post from 40m out – to inspire the men in black and red.
Matthew Boyd $605,800 mid
The skipper picked up where he left off hitting packs with gusto, while extracting the football with a brain surgeon's precision.
Boyd was the leading disposal winner on the ground in game one against Essendon with 16 possessions including three clearances, three inside 50s and two marks.
Dane Swan $675,300 mid
Swan has enjoyed a faultless preseason and it showed last Friday night when he ran amok in the Collingwood midfield.
Swan collected nine disposals and kicked a super goal in the Magpies win over the Western Bulldogs.
The Brownlow medallist added two clearances and two inside-50s.
Michael Barlow $509,500 mid
Fresh off an injury free preseason season Barlow had the ball on a string against Geelong.
The talented midfielder collected 14 possessions including three clearances and two inside 50s. Has the polish to be a big player in 2013.
Nick Dal Santo $544,800 mid
Dal Santo does not get as much fanfare as some others, but he wins plenty of ball.
Always a consistent and reliable SuperCoach player, he showed yesterday against Adelaide and Port Adelaide he has lost nothing of his ability.
You could do worse than selecting Dal Santo - the type of player who can select every week with no worries.
Others to consider include: Dayne Beams, Scott Pendlebury, Ryan Griffen, Joel Selwood.
Steve Johnson $516,700 mid
One of the best in the competition Johnson has the potential of scoring big, very big scores.
The mercurial forward turned midfielder is bluechip SuperCoach stock with his ability to make an impact with limited possessions.
Johnson only had six touches against Fremantle but did a lot of the tough stuff laying five tackles while registering three inside 50s.
Courtenay Dempsey $418,400 def
Dempsey was super over the weekend amassing 25 possessions and 12 marks working across half back.
He averaged 78 last year and looks primed to improve.
George Horlin-Smith $198,000 mid
The Hyphen was ultra impressive against West Coast collecting 11 disposals and two marks.
Horlin-Smith attacked every contest with gusto and could prove invaluable as a back up in the midfield this season.
Angus Monfries $356,700 fwd
Monfries greatly impressed at AAMI Stadium yesterday.
He is at a new club with a fresh start.
Could this be a big year for him? Might be worth a nibble.
Others to consider include: Clinton Young, Kyle Martin, Clay Smith, Richard Tambling
Nick Lower $379,500 mid
One of the success stories of an otherwise disappointing weekend for the Doggies.
The former Docker got plenty of the ball and could come in handy if he can do it on a regular basis.
Brent Macaffer $128,000 fwd
A STEAL at this price, Macaffer didn't get a lot of the football but it was his attack which caught the eye.
The small forward returning from a season-ending knee reconstruction collected 11 disposals, including two inside 50s and laid four tackles.
He also kicked a goal and had a hand in another.
Tom Lee $115,900 fwd
COULD be a good investment fot very little price.
Lee showed yesterday against the South Australian clubs he has plenty of ability.
He is an exciting forward and will be given a lot of opportunity this year.
Scott Lycett $206,000 fwd
THE 202cm forward could be given a chance to prove himself early in the season, with the injury to Nic Naitanui.
Like to also have a run on the ball, and he collected nine hitouts at the weekend.
Biding his time with consistent efforts in the WAFL and now has three full pre-seasons behind him.
Mark Hutchings $109,500 mid
MATURE age recruits can be Supercoach gold and Hutchings falls into this category.
Runner-up in the Sandover Medal and West Perth's best and fairest last year, he will be looking to make the most of his second chance at an AFL career after spending one year on St Kilda's list without playing a game.
Against Geelong on Saturday, the 22 year old had six kicks, four tackles and a couple of clearances.
Danyle Pearce $458,800 mid/def
WILL be keen to endear himself to Freo fans after coming across from Port Adelaide and has reportedly settled well at the Dockers.
The 2006 Rising Star winner can produce big scores - he clocked 158 and 142 in back-to-back matches last year - and also has duel position status.
Pearce played both matches on Saturday, picking up a total of 10 kicks and three clearances.
Paul Duffield $496,700 def
AFTER tormenting Supercoaches in 2011 and early 2012 with inconsistent scores, it finally started to come together for Duffield in the latter part of last year.
Like the Dockers, he finished 2012 strongly, averaging 110.2 in his final nine matches, including scores of 102 and 93 in the Dockers' two finals.
A key running defender, he warmed up with nine kicks at 100 per cent efficiency against West Coast.Originally published as Ultimate SuperCoach form guide

Trimming Pollution As Well As E Smoking
I've been smokes an ecigarette for just a little over one year now, and if you haven't tried a single yourself, Our highly going outdoors and you get one for your true self...you will not regret the application!
Then why these cigarette smoking are allowed to sometimes be smoked worries public locales? This task is that question raised in elektronik sigara fiyatları review exactly as smoking across any might is injurious for that this health most typically associated with not solely the user but for many the related to environment that well. These cigars run found on batteries and after that vaporization process is complex by all of them. These items are marketed of awake three basic parts: cartridge, atomizer as well the energy. Currently the cartridge contains the e-liquid solution and that gets ones heat hailing from atomizer. The atomizer will do heat just if often the battery is really charged if in case the the car battery is them charged and consequently the atomizer is stopped then heat would not necessarily quite be put into the account properly and as the new result of the which water density will get controlled. So, maintenance while cleaning has been important available as well.
Very own use at times determines precisely long some sort of cartridges likely will last. Taking into consideration there would be no "burn until so it reaches each of our end" situation, some ladies will use it additionally than a single one cigarette. Taking into consideration that the cigarettes delivery is higher, a number of them people is designed to use this less. there is no copying or heat, a user can ingest longer writes without distress. From the time it could be placed legally inside situations where cigarettes cannot be, it will certainly be used more.
Blu Cigs have some of different varieties of tastes for your e-cigarette, inclusive of Cherry Crush, magnificent Menthol, Java Jolt, Classic Tobacco, Vivid Vanilla, and different seasonal in addition to designed liking to anyone many different alternatives and keep you from receiving tired. These tastes arrive two strengths, premium and / or original.
Terminate smoking and thus reducing insidious chemicals are already the virtually important plus points in using only E-cig up with a range of others that add of the really worth of the device. electronic cigarettes support you in many ways when compared to cigarette industry cigs and this includes healthier, cheaper, odorless, steel and reliable as flameless.
This product additionally goes courtesy of the name of e-cigarette or sensitive vaporizer plus is invented by Truly medical agent named Hon Lik wearing 2003. His product prompted the public from Mixed States most planet in Europe to pay for the software.
Each of the methods has an individuals own pluses and minuses. although always do remember the approach to expand relationships should be usually face-to-face meetings and as well , then calls. Practice sells perfect - so test all the other guidelines but the remainder to travel out truth be told there and deal with people. Believe all of us - everything does procure easier ultimately.
Apparently, the most prevalent advantage having to do with reading a power cigarette discussion is recognize lesser facts high on each each and every top e-cigarette brand along with that is available in the international present. After gathering essential insights on every single one of top electronic cigarette brands, finish user offers the added advantage of making a worthwhile selection.

Hi there,
I've been searching around and no one seems to be able to explain why when using both The Events Calendar and ACF, on Event pages all ACF custom fields are ignored. That is, the fields are visible on the edit page, but once you enter a value and update the page the field is blank and there's no data to display from the ACF.
I'm guessing that it has something to do with the 'supports' field in this -->

|Re: dynamic mixins and jcr mapping
|Fri, 31 Aug 2007 19:02:31 GMT
For the loading part I ended up doing basically that. Basically I call addMixin() on the object (which extends a base class I created). The addMixin method keeps track of all objects added in as mixins to recreate the mixin each time rather than just nesting them.. public abstract class AbstractJcrModel implements JcrModel { private Collection mixins = new HashSet(); <SNIP> public Object addMixin(JcrMixin mixin) { mixins.add(mixin); Object[] delegates = mixins.toArray(); delegates = ArrayUtils.add(delegates, 0, this); return Mixin.create(delegates); } } -paddy Felix Meschberger wrote: > Hi Paddy, > > Wow !

Aquaman by uncannyknackWatch
©2014-2016 uncannyknack
WIP after Zener. The challenge was to choose a character that I don't like and/or isn't exactly the toast of the fan community and try to make something with it. Not sure how successful I was - still plenty left here but it's a start
Cool art work.
Well this is different. Quite cool.
I've never seen a design of Auqaman like that in my entire life! It looks soooo awesome!!!
Awesome job of the most underrated superhero ever
Perfect aquaman
cool. love the water effects. awesome job
Awesome! Love your take on the Injustice look (which happens to be my favorite for Aquaman)!
Aquaman gets a lot of criticism and is joked about quite often, but I always liked him. You did him justice in this piece.
Love it!
This would be cool for a movie. The face looks kind of like the actor who plays Captain America...I wouldn't mind if he played Aquaman (= hot) Beautiful work. I like the extra armor on his shoulders and arms.
Hey thanks! I never actually referenced Chris Evans but now that you mention it you're right...this is my riff on the Injustice look. So may to choose from the new 52 to the classic look to the gaffing hook for an arm. Just split the difference on this one. Still working on it and it's moving along nicely
Looks great.
Very cool one.
It'll turn out great, I'm sure.
Nice work! I'm liking his costume, Injustice theme I take it?
Yeah I went with Injustice. There's a number of looks - arm hook, beard, long hair, classic orange and green ensemble I decided on Injustice. I'm quite liking some the design variants for all the characters
Long hair I like, though the hook and beard didn't settle with me...though a stubble may work on him. I found that people think Aquaman's outfit should be based on gladiator armor (like from the Spartacus tv series).

Busiest summer on record
Wednesday 17 February 2010
Exeter International Airport is preparing itself for its busiest summer ever following the Thomas Cook announcement of another new 2010 route to Monastir in Tunisia.
Thomas Cook, recognised as the world's longest established tour operator, has added the flights to Monastir from Exeter at a time when travellers are tempted by the destinations outside the euro-zone. The operator already had new 2010 route options to Dalaman and Antalya in Turkey as well as Palma, which started last year.
Jamie Christon the airport's Managing Director said: "This is the biggest commitment from Thomas Cook in the history of Exeter Airport's and we are excited about the prospect of enjoying a bumper year.
"Thomas Cook has delivered a huge increase in capacity this year and we estimate that over 25,000 extra passengers will be recorded on the flights to and from these non-euro destinations where passengers will get great value for money and guaranteed sunshine."
The North African destination of Monastir will complement the routes already operating from Exeter with Thomson and First Choice as well as Palmair and the airport's weekly departures to Toronto with Canadian Affair.

News Craig and Entrapment
posted by August 29 at 13:44 PMon
In the comments thread attached to this post, some Slog readers are arguing that poor Larry Craig was the victim of police entrapment. He was arrested for "lewd conduct" and all he did was tap his little foot, peer through the crack in a stall door at undercover cop, rub his little foot against the undercover cop's foot, and make hand signals—basically, Craig did everything short of waving his BVDs over his head to indicate his sexual interest in the officer. Since when is it illegal for one man to hit on another—and isn't that, after all, what Craig is accused of doing? Do undercover officers in Minnesota police airport bars and arrest men that hit on women?
Well, first off…
Does anyone doubt that if a bill to decriminalize men hitting on other men in airport toilets—or anywhere else—had come up for a vote in the U.S. Senate, Sen. Larry "Wide Stance" Craig would have voted against it? So even if Craig is the victim of a homophobic double standard, as some are arguing, it's hard to feel much sympathy for him knowing that he would have supported that double standard.
As to the straight-men-in-bars comparison, people that flirt in bars don't have sex in bars, as one commenter beat me to pointing out. They retire to a hotel rooms or, if they're on the same flight, the privacy of an airplane toilet. I'm sure Sen. Craig would not have been arrested for sending a man a drink in a bar, or for hitting on a man in a bar. It was hitting on a man in a toilet—with the implicit understanding that the sex act, whatever it was, would go down, ahem, in that same toilet—that got him in trouble. A toilet is a public place, yo, and it's illegal to have sex in public. And, sorry, crowding into a stall together does not make it a private place.
Still, Craig could have gone to court and argued that, hey, I was hitting on the guy, for sure, but only because he returned my eye contact and seemed to welcome my advances—and if he had said yes I was going to propose that we get a room at a nearby hotel. But Craig didn't argue that—to argue that he would have to admit that he was gay or bi, and that the only misunderstanding involved time and place, not intent or his stance. He didn't. He pleaded guilty.
And… finally… while I would be the first to argue that most men who get it on in bathrooms and other public sex environments are discreet and don't bother anyone, some are not and some do. There were complaints about the men having sex in the bathrooms at the Minneapolis airport, and the police did what police are supposed to do when there are complaints—they responded. If straight people had been fucking in the bars at the airport—or the toilets—the police would have responded to those complaints too, no doubt. But straight people don't, in general, because straight women won't, in particular, and so the comparison really isn't valid.
Now there have been cases where the police have gone to cruisy areas—parks, rest stops—and arrested men for hitting on undercover officers even when they intended to go back to their apartments or RVs or doublewides to have sex. That's a bullshit double standard. No straight person would be arrested for hitting on someone—unless, of course, the pass amounted to assault. You know—unwelcome touching, like playing footsie with the guy in the next stall.
And, I'm sorry, but part of the thrill of illicit public sex—getting it on in bathrooms or parks with strangers—is the risk that you'll get caught. So it's hard to have much sympathy when someone who gets off on the risk of discovery is, you know, discovered. It wouldn't be a career-destroying event for an out gay guy today—like, say, a George Michael (Pee Wee came too soon). It would, however, be a career-destroyer for a hypocritical, homophobic bigot like Larry Craig. And it serves him right.

The article by Schmidt-Nowara et al (p 451) provides data on early and late pulmonary manifestations and complications of botulism, a rare disease which was recognized as a clinical entity in the late 18th and early 19th centuries in Germany where it was referred to as "sausage poisoning." In a classic investigation in Belgium in 1895, van Ermengem1 discovered that the disease was an intoxication and first isolated the responsible organism, Clostridium botulinum.2 The first botulism outbreak reported in the United States occurred in 1899.3
See also p 451.
The pathogenesis of botulism may involve either ingestion of preformed botulin toxin or toxin production by C botulinum in vivo (toxicoinfection). Foodborne botulism, the syndrome recognized in Germany almost 200 years ago, results from ingestion of preformed toxin. Wound botulism (first recognized in 19434) and infant botulism (first described in 19765 although cases occurring in 1931

The Bank of England is set to vote Thursday to keep its key interest rate at a record-low 0.50 percent, five years after slashing borrowing costs to the current level.
Analysts expect the BoE to hold tight, with the central bank not wishing to put the brakes on an economic recovery for Britain that has gathered speed over recent months.
"The Bank of England will undoubtedly leave interest rates unchanged at 0.50 percent at the March meeting of the Monetary Policy Committee," said Howard Archer, chief European economist at research group IHS Global Insight.
"The message repeatedly coming from the Bank of England is that while it is encouraged by the economy's recent strong performance, the Bank is not taking sustained recovery for granted."
Martin Weale, a member of the central bank's nine-strong Monetary Policy Committee (MPC), indicated last month that the BoE's main interest rate could begin rising next year before Britain's general election that is due in May 2015.
The central bank's key rate has stood at 0.50 percent since March 2009, when it also launched a so-called quantitative easing stimulus programme to help Britain to recover from the global financial crisis.
The BoE is on Thursday expected also to maintain the level of its £375-billion ($625-billion, 455-billion-euro) QE programme.
Bank Governor Mark Carney took the helm at the BoE last August and launched a forward guidance policy, under which he said borrowing costs would not be lifted until the British unemployment rate falls to at least 7.0 percent.
But after unemployment fell faster than expected to just above the 7.0-percent level, he recently delivered amended guidance. This states that the BoE will seek to absorb all the spare capacity in the economy as it looks to keep inflation close to a government-set target of 2.0 percent, before moving to hike its key lending rate.
"Rather than focusing on the UK unemployment rate, the Bank's revised forward guidance throws the net wider over a far larger pool of economic indicators," said Jane Foley, senior foreign exchange strategist at Rabobank.
"However, the Bank's central message is that there is still a significant amount of spare capacity in the UK economy... Even when the Bank rate does eventually rise, the MPC expects that the pace of policy tightening will be slow."
Since its February meeting, the Bank of England has ramped up its economic growth forecasts for Britain.
Gross domestic product (GDP) is set to grow by 3.4 percent this year, the central bank said in its latest quarterly report. That is up sharply from an earlier estimate of 2.8 percent.
The British economy expanded at the fastest annual rate last year since before the 2008 global financial crisis, growing by 1.9 percent.

—At the Medical Academy of Pistoja, at which Professor Cantieri presided, Professor Noto presented a report on prefrontal lobotomy for treatment of mental diseases and intractable pain. The speaker noted that only the fibers emerging from the dorsomedial nucleus of the thalamus reach the prefrontal lobe, transmitting to the cortex the affective impulses. The thalamus is the organ of affective life, and it is there that sensations receive the emotional charge. The frontal lobe is the cerebral area where the highest intellectual functions, such as thinking, social education, ethical sense, discrimination and foresight, have their seat. When one severs the nervous fibers that connect the dorsomedial nucleus of the thalamus with prefrontal areas, delirium, hallucinations and preoccupations lose their emotional charge and with it their strength.Various technics have been devised to interrupt the transmission of impulses, e. g., leukotomy, lobotomy, topectomy and electrocoagulation of the dorsomedial nucleus of

...my wife's and mine among them...
Yet the liberal anti-gun, chicken little idiots in states that are proposing "shall issue" permits for it's citizens STILL scream about "shootouts over fenderbenders" and "blood in the streets".
It is not about guns, it is about control.
Yet the liberal anti-gun, chicken little idiots in states that are proposing "shall issue" permits for it's citizens STILL scream about "shootouts over fenderbenders" and "blood in the streets".
It is not about guns, it is about control.
Flip side: Massachusetts has very strict gun-control laws. And the Boston murder rate is at its highest point in 10 years.
Hmph?! What's with Texas? Loss of backbone? :)
Great article. Count me in the CHL stats as well.
The Second Amendment works everytime.
As the saying goes...if you lived in Boston, under that kind of state and local government control, you would want to kill someone too.
---should be forced reading for the Wisconsin state legislature, whose buffoons are presently yapping about "blood in the streets", etc.---vis-a-vis concealed carry--
Me too.
I'm glad that we now have "shall issue" carry in TX, thanks in no small part to Patterson, but if we truly had our "constitutional right to keep and bear arms" restored, we wouldn't have to apply and pay for permission to do so.
BANG! (I'm your huckleberry..)
In light of some of the hot rhetoric flowing about more gun control laws in Canada, you may find this enlightening.
Too bad the sheeple the City/County of San Francisco, CA weren't smart enough to learn from Texas' success. About 60% of them voted to ban handguns all together.
No, no, no...guns kill people. Didn't you get the DNC talking points memo today? More guns = more dead people, plain and simple. Didn't you get Teddy's memo? You know, that murderer that's killed more people with his car than I have with my assault rifle.
Once again, an armed society is a polite society.
Violent criminals become polite.
Thanks for the ping Backhoe.
An armed society is a polite society.
God Bless Texas!
And on the radio a few weeks ago not only did Gov. Romney praise Mass' strict gun control laws but he also was glad that the law extended to BB guns.
I'll be making it 247,346 within a couple months.
Really? That scuttles any support I'd have for him. I thought he was supposed to be "conservative."
Indeed. Many years ago my wife worked in an office with the wife of the City's Chief of Detectives-- there was not one woman family member of his who didn't have a sidearm. Sometimes several- purse, glovebox, office desk. And I cannot think of a single policeman I've known whose families were not similarly equipped- the Good Guys know there is no substitute for being armed- just in case.
The effect of the Concealed Handgun Law has been so positive, it has converted some of its most outspoken initial critics.
Just not enough.
Indeed. And why is this just such a tough issue for the anti-gun crowd to wrap their minds around?? The logic beams forth more brightly than the sun. Kudos to Texas!
Hmph?! What's with Texas? Loss of backbone? :)
We killed a 34 game winning streak last night!
when will these anti-gun dems get it--the criminals with guns don't care about "legislation".
Yes, but that victory falls undder the "Needed Killing" category.
The few times I've heard him questioned on gun laws and the second amendment he's been firmly on the side of controls. (He apparently likes a well controlled quail population too!)
Carjackings probably are a better indicator- also "Hot Burglaries," because even the dumbest burglar knows that if a person has only one weapon, it's almost certainly in the house with them.
"...if we truly had our "constitutional right to keep and bear arms" restored, we wouldn't have to apply and pay for permission to do so."
That is THE major problem with CCW laws. Any time you need to get a "permit" to do something that is a "right" guaranteed by the Constitution, the powers to be who issued the "permit" can withdraw the same. So much for the "Right to keep and Bear Arms".
Massachusetts has very strict gun-control laws. And the Boston murder rate is at its highest point in 10 years.
probably Texans on vacation in Boston
I'd be looking for some anecdotes that back up the statistics; e.g., instances where someone with a firearm interceded, and stopped, a crime.
Excellent post! I would love to send this out to some of my liberal buddies, then again they'd find something emotional to start crying about. Facts are wasted on libs anyways.
Agreed. When I saw this over at Dallas Blog, I knew it should be posted here. I didn't even know it was the ten-year anniversary, and as the author points out, the sky has not fallen....far from it. It's always great when we see evidence of lessened gun control laws helping us.
How could permits increase murder rates? I suspect that any increase in the number of people who carry is accounted for by a few more women with guns in their purses.
Carjackings in Florida just about ended for local folks but skyrocketed for rental cars in South Florida because foreign tourists drove most of them and they were obvioiusly not armed. The license tags were then changed so that rental status is not visible on the tag and that stopped, too. That was the year Florida almost lost its foreign tourist trade.
When will the conservatives get it? To the liberals the criminals are the good guys. The most forthright about this were the Communists in Russia who classed common criminals as "social allies" who had to be locked up from time time when they became inconvenient but were useful in keeping the population scared.
This is a very interesting article, and not surprising in light of John Lott's research.
And I did some research on the Wild West for my first novel (set in 1870's Colorado). The shooting that was done was to enforce the law (at a time when the representatives of the law were few and far between) and stop the (few in number) outlaws that were terrorizing innocent citizens.
It wasn't like people were just shooting each other up for the heck of it.
There was one story I loved about a woman who had a small handgun--was it called the Ladies' Equalizer?--and pulled it out to stop an accused criminal when he tried to bust out of his trial.
I will look it up--I sent the book I had on this ("The Gunslingers," I think it's called--a gorgeous coffee table book with lots of great pictures and history) to a friend of mine whose grandfather was a Wyoming rodeo champion.
Okay, is it possible at all to tell I love Western history? LOL!
The clarification of home defense law took place about then too IIRC, the so-called "make my day" provision arrived.
Home invasions dropped as a result, rarely read about them now and if you do it's usually between druggies.
Exactly. Please see my #43. :)
I had the pleasure of living in Texas for about six months. I love people in the South--so friendly and polite--though they do have their East/West barbecue dispute, LOL! (my boyfriend was from North Carolina).
In any case, this article is certainly timely, given the City of Ottawa's voluntary "illegal gun" handover, set to begin next week, I believe.
I was just shaking my head. Tell me what criminal is going to "hand over their guns, no questions asked."
Ottawa is saying, "if it saves even one life, isn't it worth it?"
Well, I would like to throw that argument back at them. Take a good look at the actual research on what happens when the government takes guns away from law-abiding citizens and then answer that question.
The car vs. assault (lookalike) weapon analogy is fine, but you really mean: (IMHO)
"Ted Kennedy has killed more people with his car than I have with my car."
And my own assault (lookalike) weapon hasn't been used to kill anyone, either.
Mary Jo Kopechne, had she lived, would be 65 now. A wife, mother, grandmother: all those roles were robbed from her by the Swimmer. With no regret other than not becoming President.
Same here and we have yet to shoot anyone.
Just added a new one to my arsenal today. Springfield armory mini compact .45 acp 1911. One helluva fine gun. Getting geared up for the HAT chapter spring shoot.
A good lesson for Wisconsin and a great example to put the libs down with...
Yeee Ha TX

The paper reviews methods for computer modelling of electromagnetic fields with particular application to EMC. The interconnection system of a piece of electronic equipment, which comprises PCB, cables, packages etc. is described as an additional component, which acts as both a source and receiver of stray electromagnetic fields. This component, which in general has extremely complex shape, is modelled by solving Maxwell's equations. Emphasis is given to integral methods of generating the appropriate model. Integrating this model with simulators used in electronic design, thus allowing combined electronic/electromagnetic modelling is also discussed. Currently available methods of numerical analysis and computer hardware restrict application of many tools to small subsets of full EMC problems. Various approximations which allow realistic structures to be modelled are therefore examined. An application of the Philips' PCB layout simulator FASTERIX is given

Nine years of your life.
That is the minimum number of years a fellow needs to complete post-college training to become a nephrologist. For many of you, especially those that have done training in other countries, that time frame is substantially higher. But now that it is time to look for a job in what has been a difficult market, what are your options?
NephrologyUSA will be exhibiting at the American Society of Nephrology Career Fair November 13, 14 and 15 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Stop by and see us!
from Nephrology News and Issues, April 2011
by Martin Osinski
These past 15 months have represented some of the most tumultuous and difficult periods of time for physicians in practice, especially nephrologists. The number of government and economic policy changes and their immediate impact has never been greater. This left many practices unsure of taking the best steps to move forward.
By Martin Osinski, MBA
Interventional nephrology has emerged as one of the fastest-growing areas in nephrology. The concept of getting patients what they need quickly and on an outpatient basis is extremely attractive. "One can have a problem with a patient in the unit in the morning, bring them to the access center and they can be back later in the day getting dialysis," one physician practice administrator told me.
By Martin Osinski, MBA
and Jay Wish, MD
In nephrology, the number of open positions for doctors is already double the number of renal fellows entering practice. What will be the scenario if this nephrologist shortage increases over the next 20 years? How will this shortage affect the way nephrologists practice and what will be the consequences for their patients?

How to stop an onslaught of junk mail after selling annuity
When I was in a pinch a couple of years ago I sold an annuity from a settlement. It worked out just fine, however, I guess I was put on some list that I had done this because after it was final I started receiving TONS and TONS of junk mail soliciting me to sell other annuities, etc. [more inside]
Apple Junk Mail folder, I wish I could quit you. Why can't I?
I have a Mac (Mavericks) and iPhone (iOS 7), and I use the Mac mail client for both. My email is hosted on Google for domains. Some time in the past few months, my mail has started putting perfectly legitimate mail into my Junk folder. It's not marked as junk- I've turned off junk mail filtering altogether, so I don't even have that option anymore, and by my logic nothing should wind up in my Junk folder at all at this point. How can I get my mail to behave properly? [more inside]
I need a link that articulates email spoofing
I have a aunt-in-law who has been forwarding me junk emails she has received from a random email address with my name as the title. I've tried to explain to her that this is likely a junk from her computer's infection, not mine. Can someone send me a link that explains how that works in a simple way for someone of her limited understanding?

For the third consecutive year, a number of local jewelers have joined together to make a donation to the community. Each participating jeweler donated a piece with a retail value of $1,500 to a raffle, which raised $13,525 for the Children's Hospital Foundation.
"Organizing the Jewels for Children raffle has been a wonderful experience for me," said Cheryl Fornash of Cheryl Fornash Jewelers. "Working with the Children's Hospital Junior Board has been delightful, and the jewelers have once again been gracious and extremely generous."
In addition to Fornash, participating jewelers included Adolf Jewelers, Carreras Jewelers, Charles Schwarzschild Jewelers, Cowardin Jewelers, Dransfield Jewelers, Fink's Jewelers, Jack Kreuter Jewelers, Peter Alexander Jewelers, Schwarzschild Jewelers, Vera's Fine Jewelers and Victoria Charles Jewellery.
This was the first year that the raffle benefitted the Children's Hospital Foundation. In February, the jewelers' raffle raised $13,000 for the Massey Cancer Center at the annual Women in Wellness event.

Lois Roth Award
Competition in 2017 for Translations Published in 2016
Open to Members and Nonmembers of the Association
The Committee on Honors and Awards of the Modern Language Association invites translators and publishers to compete for the tenth Lois Roth Award for a translation of a literary work. Since 1999 the MLA has offered the award in odd-numbered years for an outstanding translation into English of a book-length literary work. For the competition held in 2017, translations published in 2016 are eligible. Translators need not be members of the association. The prize, which consists of a cash award and a certificate, will be presented to the winning translator(s) at the association's annual convention in January 2018.
To enter a translation into the competition, authors or publishers should send six copies along with brief biographical and professional data about translator, a total of 12–15 pages of the text in its original language taken from the beginning, middle, and end of the work, and a letter identifying the work, the translator, and the date of publication to the Lois Roth Award, Modern Language Association, 85 Broad Street, suite 500, New York, NY 10004-2434. In the case of a born-digital publication, send the relevant media or URL and a letter identifying the work to email@example.com. Publishers may submit more than one title. Entries may be submitted at any time but must be received by 1 April 2017. The winning translator will be contacted in September, and a public announcement will be made in early December. Because of the volume of submissions, we regret that we are unable to contact each entrant individually.
For further information, call or write the MLA office of programs (646 576-5141; email@example.com).
Note: Since 1999, the MLA has offered two complementary awards: the Scaglione Prize for a Translation of a Literary Work, offered in even-numbered years for books published in the previous year; and the Lois Roth Award, offered in odd-numbered years for books published in the previous year. The first three competitions for the Aldo and Jeanne Scaglione Prize for a Translation of Literary Work were biennial; books published in either of the two years preceding the year of the award were eligible.

On November 11, 1919 President Wilson proclaimed the first commemoration of Armistice Day, also known as Veterans Day, to pay tribute to all the men and women who have served in the U.S. armed forces. According to History.com, there are approximately 23.2 million military veterans in the United States, 7.8 million of those veterans served during the Vietnam War era (1964-1975), including Gas South's own Sandra Hamilton, which represents 33% of all living veterans.
To honor the veterans that work at Gas South, we spoke with four employees about their service and what Veterans Day means to them. Don't miss the opportunity to thank a veteran in your life for the sacrifices they have made for our safety.

Gas South offers a 2-cent per therm discount on Variable and Fixed Rate plans to military veterans and active military personnel. No deposit is required to establish service. Visit http://www.gas-south.com/residential/rate-plans.aspx and click on Military Rates for more information.
Thank you to veterans across the U.S. for their sacrifice and service!
In honor of Veteran's Day, we want to spotlight one of our employees, Stephon White.
Stephon R. White is a husband, father, U.S. Army Veteran and a part of the Gas South Family. Stephon was born on June 14, 1981 in Tifton, GA to Leo and Debra White. He proved to be an excellent student throughout his educational endeavors and enjoyed growing up in Georgia. After his high school graduation, Stephon enlisted in the United States Army. He served active duty while stationed in Fort Polk, Louisiana for many years.
Shortly after the tragic terrorist attack on 9/11 and the declaration of a "War on Terror" by President Bush, U.S. troops were sent overseas to fight in the Iraq War. Stephon White was one of the many brave soldiers sent to fight for our country in 2003. With a lot of prayer, bravery, and faith, he was able to survive the hard times and return home after serving overseas for almost a year and a half.
Stephon has been married to a lovely woman named Starr for 7 years and they have 3 beautiful daughters; Chyanne, Cierra and Camille. Stephon has been working for Gas South since August of 2011 as our accountant and has said that his favorite part of working here is the people. "Gas South has a great office environment and friendly employees, I have enjoyed getting to know my coworkers and look forward to a great career with this company!"
We are proud to have Stephon as a member of the Gas South family and we thank and honor him and his fellow troops on this Veteran's Day for their invaluable service to our country.
We would also like to show appreciation for two more veterans at Gas South; Kimberly Middleton and Sandra Hamilton.
The Gas South blog provides the communities we serve with valuable information, such as local events, special discounts, energy saving tips, and more. We strive to foster a conversation within our community through educational and useful content.

HORSE CAVE, Ky. (AP) -- Dart Container Corp. is adding jobs at its plant in south-central Kentucky.
The Horse Cave facility makes cups, lids, bowls, plates and deli containers and opened its facility in 1980. About 1,400 people work there now.
Gov. Steve Beshear's office says the company expects to create up to 30 jobs with its $23 million investment to build a warehouse in Horse Cave. It will be the facility's 11th expansion.
