Since the September 11 attacks, 16 people employed at the Richmond County Sheriff's Department have been deployed overseas.
So what effect does a large number of people gone at one time have on the department and your safety?
More than 700 people work at the Richmond County Sheriff's Department.
Many of them also work in the military reserves. At any given time, they can be called to duty...leaving their job for who knows how long.
Critically injured in Iraq serving with the Navy reserves, Deputy Lindon Haworth is back on the job.
"I've got some scars pretty much anywhere you want to look," he says.
With months of recovery, and being away for two years from his transportation duties at the jail, some thought he'd seen his last days in any uniform.
"Well yes, even the med staff had a lot of doubts that I'd return to any type of functional life," Deputy Haworth says.
9/11 changed things at this sheriff's department. More people are being deployed.
Col. Gary Powell says this is the largest batch yet--16.
"Anytime you lose 16 at one time, that's a big impact, but we always seem to manage around that: work our specials operation units, move people, shift around," Col. Powell says. "We already have patrol beats covered, nobody is ever left with someone not in their area."
While deployments don't cause a big mess here at the Richmond Co. Sheriff's Department, a large number of resignations can. Last year, there were more than 90 vacancies here. Right now, there are 28.
"But when you have that many people resigning or moving to some other agency, plus your guardsman going out, that is a big effect on department and cuts back on a lot of special operations," Col. Powell says.
Cutbacks that don't mean jeopardizing your safety...just a sacrifice that even a man near death will say is worth it.
"I serve, it's what I do," Deputy Haworth says. "I served my country and I served it well and I served my community and I hope to serve it well."
Deputy Haworth is on the temporary disabled list.
There's a chance he could serve again, but it's unlikely.
Along with his injury, one other reservist has been killed, and two have resigned from the department since 9/11.

USA, 2012, 82 Minute Running Time
Genre/Subjects: Crime, Documentary, Drama, Political, Social Issues, Thriller
Program: DocumentaryLanguage: English
In this politically relevant documentary, director Jamie Meltzer turns his lens on activist-turned-informant Brandon Darby. Darby became famous among community organizers after defying authorities and heroically rescuing a friend during hurricane Katrina in New Orleans' Ninth Ward, then helping to start a grassroots relief organization called Common Ground. He symbolized for many the potential power of radical activism.
His operation in the Ninth Ward was hugely successful, but he didn't stop there. In a convoluted plan to get aid and simultaneously embarrass the federal government, he traveled to Venezuela to meet with the leftist government of Hugo Chavez. But Darby found the trip unsettling, and he began to question his radical ambitions. After two activists were arrested during the 2008 Republican National Convention in St. Paul, Darby revealed that he had provided key information to authorities.
Meltzer's technically crisp film avoids taking a side. By letting Darby tell his own story and intercutting it with testimony from his former associates and friends—who sometimes vehemently disagree with Darby—Meltzer has created an absorbing puzzle about a man full of contradiction: one who seems at once caring and ruthless, compassionate and egomaniacal, who has done so much good but apparently was so reckless. Did he become an informant to help thwart extremism—to be heroic—as he tells his new right-wing followers, or did he do it, as one former activist friend puts it, "for thirty pieces of silver"?

Kelly Clarkson had a fling with her "American idol" runner-up Justin Guarini, who said he also had a thing with the first season's fourth place runner-up, Tamyra Gray.
Wow. Somebody thinks he used to be Jared Leto or something.
According to Radaronline, Guarini talked about the relationships during a performance of his one-man cabaret show, "Lovesick," in New Hope, Pennsylvania, on Valentine's Day.
The website said a reviewer reported Guarini told the audience that he "actually had a serious thing with Kelly Clarkson ... It started on the set of From Justin to Kelly, the quickie beach movie they did after Idol, and ended when her career really took off and his didn't."
In 2012, Guarini told Yahoo that Clarkson was "like my sister. "We've just always been such good friends," he said, admitting, "I'd say we had a good time."
Better than we knew, apparently.
During his Feb. 14 show, he dedicated Brenda Russell's "Get Here" to Clarkson. One critic reportedly called Guarini's obvious "heartbreak" over the end of their romance the "highlight of the show."
He told the show's audience he also had a fling with Gray.
Guarini has been married for four years and has two children, according to Radarlinline. Clarkson is expecting her first child with husband Brandon Blackstock later this year.

I'd highly recommend catching this tour if it's coming to your city... The show in SF last Friday was one of the best I've seen in a long time...
The whole crew was on stage for 3 hours, taking turns... and all of them fucking killed it... even came back for an encore. I mostly came to see Cecil and POS, but was thoroughly impressed with the rest of the crew as well...
The new Cecil song was dope...
I left with a huge crush on Dessa...

Just confirmed that we (Metermaids) are opening the Brooklyn show on 11/26 at The Knitting Factory. We are excited about it.
We might have a couple of extra guest-list-slots, so if any forum members are trying to come through holler at me on The Facebooks and I will see what I can do.

Nicolai Firtha expects workmanlike performance against favorite Deontay Wilder; dresses the part at weigh-in
Published: Friday, October 25, 2013 at 6:00 p.m.
Last Modified: Friday, October 25, 2013 at 7:00 p.m.
ATLANTIC CITY, N.J | Nicolai Firtha came to Friday's weigh-in wearing motivation on his back. The journeyman heavyweight is well aware of the massive challenge he faces Saturday when he steps into the ring as a 15-1 underdog to Tuscaloosa's Deontay Wilder. But a life without these opportunities is fresh in his mind. A year ago, Firtha (21-10-1, 8 KO) was out of boxing. He was making ends meet with a fire and water remediation company in Akron, Ohio, gutting houses that had just felt the wrath of a disaster.
Deontay Wilder at the weigh-in for fight with Nicolai Firtha in Atlantic City, N.J., on Oct. 25."It's dirty, dingy work. It's nasty work," Firtha said. To remind himself of what this chance means, he stepped on stage at the Caesars wearing his weathered, worn work uniform. Firtha wanted it that way, unbuttoned, no flash, no pomp, to keep his mind focused on the importance of Saturday's bout. "I didn't want anything fancy, I didn't want anything special. I wanted to remind myself that I have a great opportunity here to make life a little bit easier for myself," Firtha said, grabbing at a button in the Caesars ballroom hallway. "I can walk through that door and succeed, or maybe fall back and go back to this work." Wilder (29-0, 29 KO), a bronze medalist in the 2008 Olympics known for his punishing knockouts, didn't stick to the zero-panache plan. Before he flexed his chiseled 224-pound frame — 28½ pounds lighter than Firtha — he stepped to the scale with a spoon and a to-go box full of strawberry shortcake. "Strawberry is my favorite fruit," Wilder said with a smile. "I'm in shape, man, so I've always had the plan of coming into a weigh-in eating something. It was good, too." Firtha was out of boxing for 17 months, returning in July to top Robert Hawkins in a majority decision.
Deontay Wilder at the weigh-in for fight with Nicolai Firtha in Atlantic City, N.J., on Oct. 25.The hiatus was filled with the blue-collar work. January days, loading into a truck and gutting those houses in minus-10-degree weather stood out. He ran marathons and still does, finishing his latest one Sept. 30. He has caddied at a golf course and still does. He gave his future plenty of thought. "It gave me time to get my head on straight." Firtha said. "It let me say, 'Guess what, I have the tools and the ability to not only compete with the best in the world, but beat the best in the world.' " So what kind of performance does he expect from himself when the bell sounds tonight? A fitting one. "It's going to be a very workmanlike performance for me," Firtha said. "Obviously, he's done what he's needed to do in the ring. I've got a few cues to go on. I'm hungry. I'm a starved dog, and I'm ready to execute."

American black duck populations have declined by as much as 60 percent in traditional wintering areas. Several possible explanations exist for this decline, one of which is the loss and degradation of quality wintering habitat in the Atlantic and Mississippi flyways. In response to this issue Ducks Unlimited and its partners initiated multi-year studies in New York, New Jersey and Virginia to examine wintering ecology and to quantify food resources and carrying capacity for wintering and spring staging black ducks along the Atlantic Flyway.
This year the black duck research initiative will be expanded to include the use of satellite transmitters with GPS technology, which will allow researchers to track birds for up to 3 years as they move between wintering areas in New Jersey, Virginia and Ohio, and breeding areas.
The primary objectives of the black duck research initiative are to:

The Gore Range DUI Task Force is joining with law enforcement throughout the nation for the "Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over" campaign Aug. 17 through Sept. 3.
The Gore Range DUI Task Force said its officers, troopers and deputies will be aggressively looking for impaired drivers during the crackdown and will arrest anyone caught driving impaired.
It is illegal in all 50 states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico to drive with a blood alcohol concentration of .08 grams per deciliter. Despite these laws, in 2010 more than 10,000 people died in crashes in which a driver or motorcycle rider was impaired.
"On average there is one alcohol impaired driving-related fatality every 51 minutes across America. But this tragic loss of life can be reduced if we get impaired drivers off our roadways," said Sheriff Joe Hoy. "Research has shown that high-visibility enforcement like the 'Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over' campaign reduces alcohol-impaired driving fatalities by as much as 20 percent. By joining this nationwide effort, we will make Eagle County's roadways safer for everyone throughout the Labor Day period."
During the Labor Day weekend in 2010, 147 people were killed in motor vehicle traffic crashes involving drivers or motorcycle riders with BACs of .08 or higher. Of those fatalities, 80 percent occurred from 6 p.m. to 5:59 a.m.
Among 18- to 34-year-old drivers killed in motor vehicle traffic crashes during the 2010 Labor Day weekend, 54 percent were alcohol-impaired.
"Obviously we want to remind everyone that it is illegal to drive impaired, and we hope the campaign will remind people that if they plan on drinking, to never get behind the wheel," said Sheriff Hoy. "But if someone does choose to drive impaired, we will arrest them. No warnings. No excuses."
According to the Gore Range DUI Task Force, violators face jail time, loss of their driver licenses, and steep financial consequences such as higher insurance rates, attorney fees, court costs, lost time at work, and the potential loss of a job. When family, friends and co-workers find out, violators also often face tremendous personal embarrassment.
"Driving impaired is simply not worth the risk. So don't take the chance. Remember, we will be out in force and we will be watching, so 'Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over,'" said Sheriff Hoy.
On July 10, the Eagle County Sheriff's Office received report of a male party who had sexual relations with a 12-year-old.
Detectives found that the sexual relations between the two individuals occurred two years earlier, when the defendant was 17 and the victim was 12.
On Aug. 10, 19-year-old, Nelson J. Orellana of Carbondale, was booked into the Eagle County Detention Facility on two counts of sexual assault on a child and is being held on a $20,000.00 bond. Orellana is illegally in the United States and Immigration Customs Enforcement has placed an immigration detainer on him.
A 59-year-old man called deputies to his Edwards trailer home after his 49-year-old roommate threatened him with a knife on Aug. 3.
The 59-year-old was standing outside when officers arrived. He appeared nervous. He said his roommate had been drinking all day as usual. He was tired of it and asked him to move out. The 49-year-old pulled out a large, silver box cutter and said, "How about I just slit your throat." The man then went into his room and was still there when deputies came.
The officers approached the 49-year-old cautiously since he still had the knife on his belt. The whole area of the house smelled of alcohol and the man was very drunk.
The man said he didn't remember any argument or threatening his roommate. He said they were buds and that the deputies should ask him what happened, since he was sober and would remember.
The 49-year-old was arrested for felony menacing.
A deputy stopped a car for going 80 mph in a 55 mph zone on U.S. Highway 6 in Gypsum on Aug. 4.
The 32-year-old driver didn't have a license and smelled of alcohol. He exhibited other signs of intoxication and said he recently drank six beers.
A boy sitting in the back seat was not wearing a seat belt. He said the man was his father.
The deputy asked the 32-year-old to perform voluntary roadside maneuvers. The man failed some of the tests but didn't complete all of them because another car pulled up and the deputy was concerned for their safety. He arrested the 32-year-old for further investigation of driving under the influence of alcohol.
The man in the other car was the 32-year-old's brother. He said the 32-year-old called him and asked him to come there when he was pulled over.
The boy was released into the custody of his uncle and the 32-year-old was booked into jail for child abuse, DUI, speeding and driving without a license or proof of insurance.
An Avon police officer was driving west on Interstate 70 near Wolcott when he saw headlights coming at him, heading east in the westbound lanes.
He stopped the 27-year-old man and called sheriff's deputies to assist, as he was already transporting a person to the Eagle County Jail.
The 27-year-old admitted he had been drinking and said he was trying to follow GPS instructions. He had no idea he was driving the wrong way on I-70 until the officer stopped him. He was arrested for DUI.
Deputies responded to a report of trespassing on June Creek Road in Edwards on July 27.
The suspects were leaving in a truck when the officers arrived. The deputies ordered the 34-year-old driver out of the car. The driver said he would have to get out on the passenger side since his door was broken.
The driver and the 25-year-old passenger got out. The 25-year-old consistently disobeyed deputies as they told him to stay put. He was argumentative and kept trying to walk away while the officers talked with the 34-year-old. Eventually the 25-year-old was detained in handcuffs and cited for obstructing a peace officer.
• A mountain bike worth $750 was stolen after it was left in front of a bank in Minturn on July 31.
• Several derogatory words were spray painted on various locations throughout Dotsero during the night of July 27.

President's Day weekend is to ski resorts what Christmas is to churches. The faithful amass as if called by some shiny gold trumpet in the sky.
But I'm on a quest for more than just freshly groomed corduroy. I've come to Mount Shasta Ski Park for a religious experience.
A serene, four-hour drive north of the East Bay, Mount Shasta rises like a phoenix from the farmland along Interstate 5. Snow-capped and mysterious, Joaquin Miller once called her "lonely as God and white as a winter's moon." She juts from the Earth so abruptly; her beauty lures visitors from around the world.
Some visitors are from other worlds, too, which is what draws me here. After years of hearing about space ships and yetis and even Bigfoot -- I long to unearth the legends of this sacred summit.
"Mount Shasta is a transmitter -- the only direct portal to Venus -- Earth's elder protector," says Ski Park employee Yoj Chase, who has studied the mountain for two decades. Yoj (joy spelled backwards) beams as he bags up recycling in the dining hall and enlightens skiers like me.
"She's been called the pulsating heart of the crown chakra. No matter what path you're on -- Christian or Buddha or no path -- you feel it."
"Feel what? What do skiers feel that they don't feel in Tahoe?"
"Generally, they feel purity. People tell me they feel this immense, joyous comfort."
Next door in the bar, it seems people are already feeling the love. Spirits have surfaced in the form of pickle backs -- whiskey with pickle juice chasers. Immense joyous comfort is breaking out all over the place -- and it's only noon. Still, lasting happiness can't be found in a bottle.
I board the main chair lift that rises to the very bosom of Shasta; past proud stands of pines (one shrouded in Mardi Gras beads) and into her frosty arms. And suddenly, the prize lies before me. Swirling above the summit are the beginnings of a spaceshiplike cloud -- a lenticular.
"If there's a bunch of lenticular clouds, you can bet your hindquarters that the starships are here," Yoj's voice echoes in my head. "And they don't just come to hang out -- they're here to assist us."
They won't buy your lift ticket or put on your boots, but these beings will guide you towards peace, he explains. "No matter how little you feel, you'll find out you're not. Here, everybody is a vast, multidimensional being of great light."

|17 Oct 1982
|Letter P to Faurisson, enclosing items requested.
|Winter 1984
|Faurisson comments on P's 1983 IHR lecture where he 'had the pleasure ofmeeting David Irvingfor the first time'.('A Challenge to David Irving', JHR, winter 1984).
|24 July 1986
|Diary: 'Sat in the sun for a long time reading the IHR Journal.More out of curiosity at first. Faurisson's paper on Auschwitz setme thinking very hard. As 1 pointed to SSG a month ago, we have heaps of photos and eye witnesses of the Dresden holocaust: not one of an Auschwitz gas chamber, etc. As Faurisson writes, it's a bit thick that all the Reich-based 'gas chambers' were in 1959 (?) found to have been fakes or non existent by the West German government, (i.e. Dachau, Bergen Belsen, Buchenwald, etc) but we are being led to believe, on the flimsiest evidence (Gerstein report etc) that those at Auschwitz, Belzec, etc were real. His lawyer used a neat word for them: the 'metaphorical' gas chambers of Auschwitz. I hope I am never asked what 1 believe in public. I would now have to waver and cavil and dissect the meanings of words (Ausrottung, Vergasung). It is not an argument to get embroiled in.'
|3 Dec 1986
|Faurisson's comments on the testimony of Kurt Gerstein, accusing Martin Gilbert of manipulating the source. Signed' Rec 'd Dec 1986'.
|Pamphlet Faurisson, ' Der Zwieite Zündel-Prozess (1988)'.Faurisson outlines his criticisms of P at the September 1983 IHRconference. 'Later I heard from various sides that Irving was in the process of going through a healthy change in the direction of revisionism.'
|23 Jan 1989
|Letter P to Faurrison replying to Faurisson's letter of 7 January, stating that he wouid very much like' a long private conversation with'you" and providing Faurisson with details of his whereabouts in Los Angeles in February.
|25 Jan 1989
|Letter P to correeting-the details of where he will be staying in Los Angeles in Febroary.

|19 Jan 1990
|Letter Faurisson to Karl Philipp, copy to P. Faurisson writes to P, congratulating him on his 6-page report on P's speech in Dresden and asks him to send it to be published in CODE. Faurisson complains that he and P had not met in Los Angeles, and outlines criticisms of P's claims that the British invented the 'gas chamber lie'.'If he really claims that he himself discovered that the British are responsible more than any other for the lie, he is wrong. [ ...] We know, at least since 1956, the story of the British F.O. trying to STOP the lie in August 1943. [...] Anyway, when one studies the history or the historiography of the Big Lie, it does not appear that the British have any special responsibility: they haVt' none in the invention itself (chronology shows it), and they have less responsibility than the Americans in the success of the lie. [...] We must not say that we have discovered documents that in fact "they" had disclosed ten or twenty years ago and already accommodated on their cabalistic way.'
|15 Mar 1990
|Letter P to Faurisson thanking him for his comments, ending 'Keep up the fight!'

|Letter P to Faurisson, asking Faurisson why he has not given prominence to the Hinsley pages. ' I thought your speech to the was beautiful: witty, interesting, and as usual full of new material. 'P asks Faurisson for his opinion on a French publishers and asks him to ring him in Key West.
|27 Nov 1990
|Letter Faurisson to P, explaining that he had not given Hinsley prominence 'Because "they" always say that "of course" the Germans were not so stupid as to use the words indicating that people were killed by gas. As I told you, I think we used Hinsley's remark at least in 1988 and perhaps also, before that, in 1985.'
|23 Mar 1991

[ ...] Incorrigible, Faurisson deliberately faxed the same words to press agencies that ssame day: "there were no gas chambers, no genocide. " Faurisson is one of the bravest historians I know.'
|18 Dec 1991
|Fax Faurisson to P congratulating him for confronting Bernard Levin with a reader's letter in the Times. 'This is a major victory. You deserve it. The comparison between the Mazi] G[as] C[hambers] and the H[itler] D[iaries] is a brillaint idea. I suppose you know that, thanks to General Remer and Karl Philipp, the dam is breaking in Germany with the 500 signatures ("we demand...1 ). [...] The Police (Renseignements Generauux) and the TV (with the film of Michael Schmidt showing you and 1 in Hagenau in 1989) have co-ordinated a big media operation against us. Once more congratulations.'
|12 Jan 1992
|Fax Faurisson to P offering details about 'the Eichmann topic' following P's 'alleged retraction -after -having -read- the - Eichmann -"memoirs ". ' Faurisson argues that Eichmann had never seen a gas chamber and' being rather naive and gullible' he believed what had been written after the war.
|12 Jan 1992
|Fax P to Faurisson regarding P's Eichmann papers. 'I have also stressed that E's version of what Heydrich said: " Ich komme vom Reichs.führer,. der Fuhrer hat die physische Vernichtung der Juden angeordnet ", is interesting but but Horensagen [hearsay] not zulüssig [pennissible] in not even an Amstgericht [Regional Court] as evidence. It shows what Eichmann believed, not what was necessarily true. Also, I have stressed that despite his many visits to Auschwitz he never saw a gas chamber I agree: he swallowed a lot of what he read in Reitlinger, Poliakov, etc. I propose to discuss this at the next IHR, if I am invited But: it is useful publicity. because it brings the whole controversy out into the open. Today, ten newspapers, three television stations, BBC radio etc. How else can we "purchase " publicity for our real arguments?!'
|12 Jan 1992
|Fax Faurisson to P, thanking him for his comments on the Eicbmann papers and the enclosed newspaper articles.'Of course, if the citations in your speech were correct and even if they had been accompanied by some restrictions or nuances not mentioned here by the journalists, I would have to say that L for one, consider the whole matter as terrible. Have you sent any fax to those newspapers to say what you are telling me in your fax about Eichmann "only [hersay1", "not permitted even in a court as evidence","never seen a gas chamber" 'Faurisson adds: 'Please remember what I tol you in London about what you had written on Major General Walther Bruns!'
|23 June 1992
|Fax Faurisson to p regarding a 'so-called Committee to Stop Irving'. 'We are more than ever on your side. You tire"performing a splendid job [...1 As I told you in Munich in March 1991 "A Revisionist must be ready for one bad piece of news a day and one humiliation a week". But this is of course not a reason to stop the battle. I, myself will stop it in January 1994 [...] More than ever we need you. I wish you a big success for July 4. Be prudent.'
|7 Dec 1992
|Fax Faurisson to p regarding a letter featured in 'Expressen' by P,in which he denied any involvement with Ahmed Rami, a conference organised by him in Sweden, and called Rami a liar. Faurisson defends Rami 'a man, as you know, I admire greatly'.
|8 Dec 1992
|Fax P to Faurisson replying to Faurisson's fax. of 7 December; 'At present, as you are aware, we are coming under worldwide attack because of our refusal to bow to pressure or change our opinions on matters of history without acceptab'e proof This fight, this Endkampf[final battle] by our desperate traditional enemy, is now taking an ugly shape, and the important thing is to avoid being engulfed by the flames ourselves.' '[...] I issued an immediate denial. If Mr Rami does not like it, then he must write to me in person and tell me. At present, I have to confess, I am speechless with anger at him. Nobody is entitled to use my name without my permission. Meanwhile, "The Fight Goes On --To Final Victory!"'
|9 Dec 1992
|Fax Faurisson to P; 'Now let me tell you that the gentleman [Rami] was hurt by the fact that, before calling him a liar in a letter sent to his own worst enemy (certainly not deserving the esteem you expressed), you had not phoned him as, for example, you had done in November 1991 when he was in a hotel in London before your conference at Chelsea Town Hall. [...] Permit me to reiterate my wish: I do think that a gentleman like A. Rami deserves a nice letter from you.'
|Dec 1993
|P pens an article in Action Report on Jean-Claude Pressac's The Crematoria of Auschwitz:The Machinery of Death referring to calculations on the crematoria done by'Pressac Is former revisionist buddies'.
|11 Jan 1994
|Letter Yvonne Schleiter {Faurisson's sister) to P, complaining about P's description in his Action Report of' Pressac 's former revisionist buddies'. Schleiter declares that she is surprised that P , should use such words towards people you owe everything you know about revisionism. [ ...] You ought not to forget that you owe a lot to those II buddies II and I don't think it is correct of you not to pay homage to them. I do hope you will agree with me. ' Schleiter adds a post script: ' I admire a lot Mr Butz, but let me tell you one thing: if it had not been for Robert Faurisson and the tremendous ., .fight he started in i 97 4, Mr. Butz's books would still-be sleeping on the shelves of some American people's libraries, and you would still believe in the gas chambers.'
|15 Jan 1994
|Letter P to Schleiter, expressing his sorrow that Faurisson has "'misunderstood the word I'buddies" in English. [...] Nobody can deny the quality of the work that Robert has done. The viciousness of the attack on him is testimony to that! I will include a sentence .from your letter in the next ACTION REPORT to clear up the misunderstandings. [ ...] What an adventure, as Robert himself said! Keep up the good work -and I'll keep up mine !'
|30 Jan 1994
|Letter P to Faurisson, enclosing a draft article for Action Report on 38 attempts in Holland to ban Faurisson's book on Anne Frank, and requesting any further information.
|31 Jan 1994
|Fax Faurisson to P commenting on P's draft article' Anne Frank litigates from beyond the grave'.' It is a mistake to say that we point to " a style too adult for even the most precocious Ihirteen- year old girl ". i always avoid that kind of argument which is too flimsy. ' Faurisson encloses an outline of his prosecution in Holland and pages from the critical edition of the Anne Frank diaries.
|Sep 1994
|P prints extracts from Schleiter's letter and his reply in his Action Report.
|5 Oct 1994
|Faurisson to P, enclosing an article in The Nation and Faurisson's response. including passages on P's views on the testimony of Gen Wa1ter Bruns at Riga. In Faurisson's reply he states that P ...does not want to btassimiJated to Faurisson; "the devil" as he put it. He tries his best to keep some distance although he is on our side.Do you really think he believes what he said on Generalmajor Walther Bruns (on Eichmann, on Goebbels, on the gas chambers being an invention of the British (!) propaganda)? Let me take the example of Bruns. In November 1991, when I was at Irving's home in London, I made him aware, thanks to his own documents that I had asked him to look at, that Bruns , "confession " (? ) was typical of the " confessions " collected by the British: it was the usual stereotypes. I showed him what, in another document, the British had said about Bruns: he " had been relieved ofhis command" by the Germans, he was "antinazi" and he was "eager to cooperate with the Allies". Now, guess what D. Irving told me then spontaneously: "Anyway, later on, at a trial, Bruns said that he had in fact not been an eyewitness. " Draw your own conclusions.'
|21 Feb 1995
|Letter Faurisson to P, regarding the article by Eric Conan ' Tout yest faza' [Everything there is false] about the Auschwitz gas chambers. ' One thing I would like to make clear for you and that I.. wish you to repeat everywhere is that, in fact, this admission of E. Conan only confirms what Faurisson had discovered in 1976 and kept repeating in books, articles, videos and even on the witness stand [ ...] Mr. Irving, do you realize what it means for a searcher who has been working so hard for so many years, who has been insulted and heavily sentenced, to see a young American Jew [David Cole] coming in and stealing his discovery and making money and publicity out of it? I always thought that one day the Jews would come maintaining that the " Holocaust " of course existed but that the " gas chambers "were a German lie invented to frighten the poor Jews, or a Russian lie, or a Polish lie, or a Communist lie. Please, set the record straight. , Faurisson also asks P to clarify the discrepancy between the sources P cites in Action Report for the figures for coke consumption in the crematoria at Auschwitz.
|6 Mar 1995
|Letter Faurisson to P enclosing letters of Hans MUnich. ' There are no objections to Munch 's story e.g.,why did the funeral pyres notshow up on the air photos. And Munch may be suffering from the Hoßsyndrome: anxious to say anything in 1945/46 provided the Poles did not hang him,. and now believing it all himself'
|15 Mar 1995
|Letter Faurisson to P, stating that he knows 'the Munch affair' and asking P to answer his question on coke consumption at Auschwitz.
|21 Mar 1995
|Letter P to Faurisson explaining that the figure arrived at for coke consumption was compiled by Karl Philipp, and agreeing that the figures are most important.
|29 Sept 1995
|Fax Faurisson to p asking for documentation to prove that he anG.. P had-discussed the-events in Riga of 30 November 1941,. as-P.alleged in the July/ August 1995 issue of the JHR. Zündel also requests p to confirm that in an interview in Australia he had given the figure of 4 million Jews to be a plausible figure for the number of victims of the Holocaust, as reported in Searchlight magazine, September 1995.
|28 Nov 1995
|Letter P to Faurisson, stating that he thinks Searchlight 'has edited that radio interview of mine in Australia to fake what 1 actually said What 1 actually said, when asked how many Jews died in world war IJ, was that from all causes, from start to finish, the figure might have been as many as four million-including air raids, forced marches, starvation, disease, epidemics, old age.'P encloses a diary entry for the day saying that in the Australian interview he 'straightened him [the interviewer] out that 1 am not a " denier" as claimed.'
|1 Dec 1995
|Fax Faurisson to P expressing concern that P had given a figure of the nwnber of Jewish dead to be 4 million; 'Such an "admission" or statement is a very serious one.'Faurisson criticises Irving for his insistence that he is not a denier because, although F aurisson argues that 'we affirm that there was no German policy of exterminating the Jews [ ...] 1 am afraid that what you mean by not being a "denier" is that Faurisson and Co are "deniers" whereas .. you are definitely not a "denier" wrong?'
|Aug 1996
|Letter Faurisson in the Adelaide Institute concerning P. Faurisson claims that P is returning to his pre-Zündel trial stance he had outlined in his 1984 JHR article, comparing P's then stance to that of a' " half-pregnant-woman "'
|27 Jan 1997
|Letter Faurisson to P berating P for printing the name, identity and residence of Mrs Peck, the daughter of Hoss, in his December 1996 Action Report. ' As far as 1 know, you are the first to have printed such a piece of news. This is very serious matter.,
|29 Jan 1997
|Letter P to Faurisson explaining that Mrs Peck no longer lived at the address as printed in his Action Report and therefore nobody was endangered. '...you have few greater admirers of your courage than me.'P corrects Faurisson's whitewashing of Hoss's conduct, by reminding him that Hoss was, after all, commandant of 'one of the most horrific slave labour camps in Europe.' P encloses his book Nuremberg -The Last Battle, and 'treats' Faurisson to an overview of his action against Penguin Books and Professor Lipstadt.'Apart from the occasional sniping from you Robert, the fight is very rewarding, in the spiritual sense: an intellectual crusade against powerful, wealthy, and evil forces trying to crush Real History.'
|25 Apr 1997
|Letter Faurisson to P thanking him for P's latest book.
|3 act 1998
|Letter P to Faurisson regarding his having posted a piece on his web-site about Faurisson ' s imminent trial. 'I regard this as yet another fight to preserve freedom of speech, against its traditional enemies.'

In semis with ease
In his home tournament, defending champion Roger remains on course – on course for the final. In his quarter-final, our all-time record holder with 17 Grand Slam wins defeated his first Frenchman of the tournament, Benoit Paire, 6-2,6-2. In the second semi-final, the unbeatable Swiss now faces another French opponent, wild card recipient and ATP number 101 Paul-Henri Mathieu, who overcame Bulgaria's Grigor Dimitrov in a fierce encounter. But Roger was taking no chances in front of his sold-out public, sweeping the opening set against Paire in 29 minutes with two breaks.The second set was equally brief as Federer moved within two wins of his seventh trophy of the season.He broke Paire's first two service games and sent over a pair of aces for a 5-1 lead before closing it out.
"It was a good match for me and I'm pleased to be back in the semi-finals," said the world number one."It cannot have been easy for him playing a top 10 player. I had to play aggressive, but by the fourth game of the match, I knew what I had to do."I'm looking forward to playing Paul-Henri, he's from my generation. It's good to see him back as well after his knee problems. I'm looking forward to the match."
This was vintage Roger at his entertaining best – on this form he will be very hard to stop as he laid down a solid challenge to the remaining contestants of the Basel Open.
Allez Roger :))
Do it again tomorrow against Mathieu!
The trophy is waiting for you !
Go Go Champ!

The Ariel Winter saga has more drama than any soap opera. The most recent developments are almost too much to keep up with. Here goes:
Ariel's mother said the 14-year-old actress attacked her when she confronted her about her relationship with 18-year-old Cameron Palatas. She claims she caught two in bed together. But friends of Ariel say the romance, which is now over, never got intimate. Sources from Ariel's show "Modern Family" said Ariel's mom, Chrystal Workman, was a "terror" on the set and they had to sneak Ariel food because her mother wouldn't let her eat.
The lawyer for Ariel's 34-year-old sister Shanell Gray, who has had temporary custody of Ariel since Oct. 3, said Workman actually attacked Ariel. And TMZ reported Tuesday that Gray told the judge last month that her mother physically abused her. Her mother denied it, and said Gray actually ran away with a gang member and she found her in a crack house.
Whew. That all came out in one day. When they get to the clones, Bigfoot and space aliens, we'll let you know.
TMZ cited a source from "Modern Family," who has been in "constant contact" with Ariel for more than a year, saying producers wanted Workman banned from the set for making Ariel's life hell. She allegedly berated her for her physical appearance, saying her ears were too big and she looked ugly in her clothes. She also blocked Ariel from eating anything but egg whites and raw veggies. The crew supposedly hatched a plan to sneak the teen food when her mother wasn't looking.
She also supposedly complained loudly about Ariel's salary, saying her daughter needed more to pay for their house, her agents, managers, and publicists.
Right. The kid was the one who needed all that money.
According to a transcript from last month's hearing, TMZ reported Gray's lawyer said "The child (Ariel) is, apparently, struck repeatedly, slapped, hit, pushed, not so as to leave marks. Mother is smart enough not to do that."
Workman countered by saying "She is an actress so I'm sure she can cry at the drop of a hat." The lawyer also said Workman "sexualizes the child," and showed the judge a picture of Ariel "dressed up to show off her breasts and otherwise."

Surplus Foods Now Being Distributed During the first week of June 1958 the Flathead Tribal Council made their first distribution of surplus commodities to the members of the tribes. Surplus commodities were issued at the Clinic building, St. Ignatius to 284 families totaling 1239 people. The quantity of commodities issued in June are as follows: 4,620 lb. flour; 1,236 lb. cheese; 3,425 lb. corn meal; 1,665 lb. dry milk; 757V£ lb. rice and 1,238 lb. butter. Before any member of the Tribes are eligible to receive commodities they must be certified by the county welfare department of the county in which they live. County welfare departments will in all instances, determine the eligibility of all applicants for commodities, whether distribution of commodities to eligible recipients is the be made by the Board of county commissioners or an Indian Tribal Council. A needy person or one who is eligible to receive surplus commodities shall be limited to the following groups: (A) Recipients of public assistant grant Recipients are those authorized as eligible to receive any type of public assistance and are eligible for certification if they have facilities for the preparation of uncooked food. These persons shall have the right to apply for certification. (B) Non recipients of public assistance grants. Persons who are not recipients of public assistance grants, but who are in need on the basis of the following monthly net income standard are eligible for certification if they have facilities for he preparation of uncooked foods. (Net income is take-homepay.) Family Size Family Income 1 Person $125.00 ' 2 Persons 175.00 3 Persons 200.00 4 Persons 225.00 5 Persons 250.00 6 Persons 275.00 7 Persons 300.00 8 Persons 325.00 9 Persons 350.00 The available cash reserve, including negotiable resources, may not exceed $500.00 for a single person, or $1000 for a family. Where the cash reserve is in excess of these amounts, eligibility does not exist. Cash reserve consists of cash on hand or on deposit. Stocks, bonds, or other similar assets that can be readily liquidated without loss. All non recipients certifications shall be limited to a time period, as determined by the county welfare department, except in no case shall this period of eligibility exceed three months. The non recipient persons may be recertified at the end of each time period or each three months, if eligibility continues to exist. (Those who do not receive any type of public assistance are required to be recertified by their respective county welfare offices every ninety days.) Needy persons unable to appear in person for commodities will designate, in writing, an authorized agent to receive their commodities for them. Distribution of surplus commodities to members of the Flathead tribes will be either the first or second weeks of each month. Each recipient will be notified by mail in advance of the distribution dates. Commodities will not be distributed to individuals after the dates of each month that arc designated as distribution dates. CHAR-KOOSTA PUBLISHED BY CONFEDERATED SALISH AND KOOTENAI TRIBES, FLATHEAD AGENCY, MONT. Vol. 3 — No. 8 June, 1958 Pros and Cons of Third Unit Discussed By Chairman A victory for the Indians. A couple of years back one eastern Montana Congressman vigorously argued the Yellow-tail Dam was only worth $50,000. A year or two later, through the efforts of the three M's of Montana (Murray, Metcalf and Mansfield), the fact was confirmed that the dam site, and lands that would be flooded was worth $5,000,000 to the Crow tribe. After much deliberation between the leaders of the Crow tribe, particularly Edward Whiteman, along with attorneys, congressmen, engineers, and Government officials, a price of $5,000,000 was arrived at. Unfortunately, Presid-dent Eisenhower vetoed the price. Last year another attempt was made by the Bureau of Reclamation to purchase the lands and the site. Of course, the brave politicians got into the negotiations and were supported by the Department of the Interior that Yellowtail dam was only worth $2,500,000, and if the Crow tribe wanted more money they could rely on the courts for their other $2,500,000. Further, an Act of Condemnation was issued in the event the Crow tribe objected to the $2,500,000 offer. The later action of the $2,500,000 offer, plus condemnation, was confirmed by Congress over the objections of the Crow tribe. A couple of days back President Eisenhower signed the bill for $2,500,000, but thanks to U. S. Attorney of Montana, Crest Cyr, and Federal Judge William Jameson, for their action in dismissing the condemnation case effecting Indian lands. This could have applied to our Reservation, but since this has happened our neighbors, the Crow tribe, it has a bargaining point, and they can stand at ease to know that condemnation proceedings can not be crammed down their throats. Th Yellowtail Dam will probably not become a reality, unless the Crows get their price, which may be $5,000,000. Speaking of dams and power sites, there has been much concern expressed by the members of the Flathead tribe and the officials of the Montana Power Company. Last month E. W. Morigeau and myself were witnesses at a hearing held before the Federal Power Commission on the settlement, if any, on the third generating unit at Kerr Dam. Under Federal Power Commission License No. 5, it is provided that two 77,000 horse power generating units would be installed, and that the Montana Power Company would pay rentals on all power sites that are being flooded, including tribal lands that border the south half of Flathead Lake up The tribal Council will continue to distribute surplus commodities as long as the commodities are available. to elevation 2893. Of course, set forth are the principle reasons the Montana Power Company feels they do not owe the Tribe any additional compensation on their motion for determination of law. On the 3rd of November, 1951, the Montana Power Company filed an application to amend the license to add a third 56,000 KW generating unit which was installed and has been in operation since December 5th, 1954. The Federal Power Commission, by letter dated December 29th, 1951, authorized commencement of construction at the risk of the Power Company, without prejudice to consideration of the amendment by the Commission. The Tribe has claimed additional annual charges are due by reason of the construction and operation of the third unit. It is the position of the Power Company that the annual charges in the license constitute full compensation for the use of the Indian lands within the designated project boundaries without regard to energy produced, or installed capacity, and as such, not subject to change except as provided in Section 30 (D) of the license. The annual charges payable under this license may be readjusted at the end of 20 years after the beginning of operation under this license, and at periods of not less than 10 years thereafter, by mutual agreement between the Federal Power Commission and the licensee, with the approval of the Secretary of the Interior. It should be noted that the schedule of annual charges in both the original license and the amended license provide for the same amount of payments over the term set forth, the only difference being that the amended license provides for a revised schedule of payments which included those payments which were in default at the time of the amendment, plus interest charges at 4 percent annually on such amounts as were in default Both schedules provide for the payment of $2,929,000 to the Tribe through the year 1954, and the sum of $175,000 annually thereafter, unless the amount is changed under Section D, Article 20 of said license. There can be no question that the annual charges, as set forth in the license, are for the full use in connection with the project of the lands belonging to the Tribe within the Project boundary and in the absence of the inclusion of additional lands belonging to the tribe within the Project boundary, no change in said annual charges can be made except as authorized by the term of the license (Sub-section D, Article 30). Had the charges been based upon output or installed capacity it would have been so stated in the license. The fact that (Continued on page 2)

It's been a strange road to the NHL for the Bruins power forward, but Blake Wheeler is now getting an opportunity to show his worth.
There was a noticeable buzz that came over the crowd at the 2004 NHL draft in Carolina after the Phoenix Coyotes made Minnesota high schooler Blake Wheeler the fifth overall selection.

The knee-jerk reaction from some hockey critics to the Doug Weight hit on Brandon Sutter would eliminate hitting from the game.
There's only one thing sadder in hockey than seeing a player such as Brandon Sutter lose consciousness and sustain a concussion after an on-ice hit.

This year's Hall of Fame induction group is worthy, but there was room for two other candidates.
Glenn Anderson and Igor Larionov are very deserving candidates for next month's Hockey Hall of Fame induction, but they should be part of a foursome.

Things were on the right track in the Windy City until the team overpaid for free agents, then botched a coaching change.
Everything looked to be going so well for the Chicago Blackhawks. After most of the past decade out of the playoffs and a fan base that was dwindling down to the diehards, the management and ownership of the Original Six franchise started turning the corner a few seasons ago.

The NHL will never agree to shorten the regular season, but there's really no reason for the high number of pre-season tilts.
The notion of reducing the number of regular season games from 82 to 70-something per team is one that will never fly with the league or the union.

Not many make the immediate jump, but there are a few who will skate regularly this season as 18-year-olds.
There's a misconception out there that more and more 18-year-olds are getting fast-tracked to the big leagues because they provide a cheaper alternative in a workforce that's getting more and more expensive.

An interesting connection to an NHL legend brings family together to hit the links every two years.
I carry with me one piece of trivia in my chest pocket close to my heart. I pull it out from time to time and it never fails to stump hockey fans, journalists and experts, individually and collectively.

The term all-star gets thrown around too much, so Brian explains what the true definition stands for.
I wanted to attempt clarification on a confusing hockey term that will probably remain confusing for as long as hockey is played. It's regularly the source of reader complaints to The Hockey News and it's an honest-enough mistake made by sports journalists and people writing in.

Defense is an important part of the professional game, so why won't the Hall of Fame recognize one of the best defensive forwards?
In an era when goal-scoring is approaching a 50-year low, when even star players are admonished for not backchecking, when assistant coaches are mandated to find ways to shut down the opposition's top scorers, one defensive giant continues to go unappreciated.

Picked third overall in 1997, Olli Jokinen was considered a flop before he broke out with the Panthers. Here are a few players who shouldn't be written off, yet.
Olli Jokinen has played all but one game in the past five seasons and his 374 points during that span ranks among the NHL's top 10 since 2002-03.

While others believe the Preds will make the dance for the fifth straight season, this author thinks a drop is in their future.
Barry Trotz must be the best coach in the NHL because he finds a way to get a diminishing Nashville Predators roster into the playoffs, both last season and, according to prognosticators, this coming season.

Recent polls showed President Barack Obama leading Republican challenger Mitt Romney nationally and building a lead in swing states, including Ohio.
The impact on voters' opinions of what many viewed as Romney's victory in the first presidential debate Wednesday and the dropping of the national unemployment rate below 8 percent have not been reflected yet, but when they are, it won't make much difference to Devola resident Christina Frasher.
"Absolutely not. Every vote counts," she said.
Frasher, 29, said she would vote for a candidate she supports whether that individual was leading handily in the polls or trailing by a significant margin. But she admits she does pay attention to the polls, if for no other reason than that they seem to be everywhere.
Four different polls of Ohio voters in the last week of September showed anywhere from 49 percent to 53 percent favoring Obama. But there's no telling what those numbers will look like the closer it gets to Nov. 6.
"It's a long time 'til Election Day in terms of the political cycle," said McKinzie Craig, assistant professor of political science at Marietta College. "We still have a lot of movement that can happen, particularly with the debates coming up."

That doesn't mean current polls have no impact. Candidates being in the lead can energize their supporters, Craig said. So can trailing.
"For the one that's behind, it can be a way to motivate your base and say, 'You need to be out knocking on doors every day,'" Craig said.
But a poll wouldn't determine whether or how Cutler resident Marilyn Crace votes.
"My vote counts, regardless which way it's going," she said.
Still, Crace said she pays attention to polls, even if she doesn't always believe them.
"I get excited, sort of, when I see mine (candidate) have higher ratings, but then at the end, according to Fox News and the people on it, it's calculated in a way that can be misleading," she said.
Craig said that when looking at polls, people should consider the methodology as well as the margin of error in the poll. For example if a poll shows a candidate leading 51 to 49 percent, and the margin of error is 3 percent, it's possible the other candidate could actually be out in front 52 to 48 percent or trailing by an even larger margin. Craig said the smaller the range, the better.
"The actual numerical estimate isn't nearly as important as the range," she said. "A slim lead, often that's not statistically a lead at all."
Other factors including whether a poll is conducted using cell phones as well as landlines, whether the sample consists of likely voters or simply registered voters, how many of the randomly sampled respondents identify with a particular party and even in-house bias by a polling firm can influence the outcome, according to www.businessinsider.com. So different polls can show different results even for the same race in a similar period of time.
Recent polls by the Columbus Dispatch, the Washington Post and the Public Policy Polling, a Democratic-leaning organization, show Ohio Treasurer Josh Mandel trailing incumbent Sen. Sherrod Brown by anywhere from 8 to 12 percent. But while in Marietta Thursday, Mandel pointed to an Oct. 1 poll by Public Opinion Strategy, a national Republican-leaning political and public affairs research firm, that shows him trailing his Democratic opponent by just 47 to 44 percent among all likely voters and leading 49 to 44 percent among those most likely to vote.
"The reality is the only poll that matters is the actual election," said Mandel, a Republican.
Justin Barasky, communications director for Brown's campaign, said he doesn't put a lot of stock in polls either.
"Certainly it's nicer to see us winning than it would be to see us losing," he said. "We know that they've been moving up or down."
Polls are probably more useful to campaigns than individual voters, Craig said.
Former Congressman Charlie Wilson, a Democrat running to recapture the seat for Ohio's 6th District, said a good showing in polls can draw financial support to a candidate and get volunteers to pound the pavement and man the phone banks.
"The polling is important to who supports your team," he said.
If a poll paints a less optimistic picture, that can also affect support, Wilson said.
"This is terrible to say, but a lot of people like to go with the winner," he said.
There haven't been many external polls focusing on the race between Wilson and the Republican incumbent, Congressman Bill Johnson, but Wilson's campaign released its own internal poll in mid-September that showed the race tied with 46 percent of those surveyed supporting Wilson and the same number backing Johnson, with 8 percent undecided.
"We wanted people to know ... it's really close," Wilson said.
The margin of error on Wilson's poll is 4.4 percent.
Johnson said he takes any polls "with a grain of salt unless I know the pollster and the method used." He said many polls are skewed.
"Polls don't win elections; votes win elections," he said.
Johnson said polls prior to Election Day in 1980 would have led many to believe Jimmy Carter was getting a second term as president, but he was defeated by Ronald Reagan.
Craig said polls are more likely to affect turnout as Election Day approaches, but not necessarily voters' decision-making.
Marietta resident Jeff Johnson, 37, said he wouldn't be surprised if some people who don't follow the election very closely back a candidate who's leading in the polls, but it wouldn't influence him. Likewise, he wouldn't avoid casting a ballot because a particular candidate is leading or trailing.
"I vote regardless," he said.

Again, this thread has been moved from XGenForums to here. All credit to Spectral D (Spectral.Death)
More and more in this sub-forum I see countless threads of ideas that do not make sense or really do not need to be added and etc.
I am creating this thread in the hopes that it can give people a good idea on if their suggestions overall can be benificial to the community.
1. Come up with a suggestion you have for the game.
Of course, this is the easiest step to complete since people are coming up with ideas constantly, but please try to be creative with your idea. If the idea that you came up with has been mentioned over and over again and shows no signs of being added, don't bother with it. Be sure you use the "Search" feature to check if your suggestion has been said on the forums before. It's there for a reason.
2. Be sure that your suggestion isn't already in the game.
Sometimes, people can submit suggestions even though the feature is already implemented in the game. So check to see if it has already been added.
3. Think about your suggestion. Does it make sense?
Most of us are going to want logical ideas that make sense and works with the game, not against it. For example, some people have ideas about exclusive spinners being released on say, a Christian holiday. This idea will not go through simply because of the fact that there is more than one religion in the world, and most religions do not have the same holidays as the Christian religion does. Please take time to think about your suggestion.
4. Is it benificial for the audience all together?
There have been a number of suggestions that are benificial for one audience, but is detrimental to a different audience. Suggestions will NOT be added if it only benifits a limited audience. We want the whole audience to be pleased; how else is XGenStudios going to make their money?
5. Will it increase moderator workload?
There are some ideas that will actually make things harder for moderators, such as more text symbols and the like. Please make sure that your idea doesn't make our job more difficult.
6. Are there too many risks?
THINK ABOUT THIS ONE CAREFULLY. It is very easy to make a mistake here and think that there is very little risk, when in the long run it becomes extremely risky. PLEASE take your time with thinking about this one. Think about many possible situations and if there are any major risks, try to improve upon your idea.
7. Vote Kicking PEOPLE READ THIS YOU ARE GOING TO WANT TO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Quote Originally Posted by Ghecko View Post

I am really tired of having to explain this to every ignorant person who makes this same exact thread every week or so.
First off, There's more to the vote kick feature than just kicking hackers and players in the first place lead. Removing it would cause chaos and, believe it or not, people would complain to have it back again. For example, players would find themselves in dilemmas where they need to kick a player out of a game. It could be that you might want to kick someone out to let another player in; it could be that you might want to kick someone out to keep privacy in a 1 on 1 game; or it might even be that you want to kick out a watcher, or someone that no one wants in a game and so on. The cycle of uses for the vote kick feature never ends.
Secondly, what about the new players? If they want to play a newbie game without the "no free kills" rule then let them be. If a "pro" comes in and starts slaughtering them then they have the right to kick them out for being too good and experienced for them. If the vote kick feature was removed they simply couldn't.
Another similar example would be "pros" playing a game with the "no free kills" rule and a new, inexperienced player comes in and starts killing players who don't have a weapon, hammer camping, punching, etc. Normally, the other players would kick them out of the game as they do not belong there. However, if the vote kick feature was removed they simply couldn't.
Do you see where I'm getting at with this? It's 100% fair and the only reason people complain about it is because they lose their precious kills and victory. Hell, without the vote kick feature, everything that represents order in Stick Arena would inevitably come crashing down and literally all hell would break loose, resulting in a lot – and I mean a lot – of players to quit playing altogether. I sure as hell would quit playing Stick Arena if by some chance they removed the vote kick feature.*
Now stop promoting the alteration or modification of the vote kick feature. The reason the administrators aren't doing anything is because this is a poop idea. My response is not based on opinion, it is fact. Once more – and probably not the last time I'll say it either – you just need to think about it. Think before you decide what's best for the game.
Also, gun suggestions will NEVER be taken into consideration, NEITHER WILL VOTE KICKS. IT WILL STAY THERE NO MATTER WHAT.
If you think that your suggestion makes sense, is benificial for all audiences, and has little risk all together, then feel free to make a thread on it. Make sure you explain your suggestion as clear as you can so as to avoid any confusion.
Your suggestion WILL be met with criticism, and if your idea is turned down, don't let it discourage you; learn from it. Ask yourself, "What did I do wrong? Did it make too little sense? Was it not benificial for all audiences? Were there too many risks involved?" Take your mistake, learn from it, and apply it to your next idea. You never know; one day your suggestion may be added.
Here's a little flow chart that basically sums everything up (AKA tl;dr)
Anything that you think is missing? Feel free to say so.
Version History:
Version 1: The original thread submitted.
Version 1.02: Added line breaks at the beginning and end of the steps to organize it better.
Version 1.12: Change the wording on step 1 a bit, and added an extra step, "Be sure that your suggestion isn't already in the game."
Version 1.13: Minor change of wording on the first step.
Version 1.23: Added another step, "Will it increase moderator workload?"
Version 1.33: Added a line suggesting that people use this form when explaining their suggestion.
Version 1.35: Removed that line.
Version 1.4: Added a comment on gun suggestions.
Version 1.41: Comment on vote kick suggestions.
Version 1.44: Gave vote kicking its very own section.
Version 1.47: Added a flow chart that was used for forums suggestions as well.
"A very good guide, thank you Spectral"

Chelsea Message Board
Coloccini's high kick
I hope CFC keep a copy of the video for use as a defence when a Chelsea player is punished for something similar. Like Chelsea lawyers did with the ballboy incident. FA had to backtrack on increasing the ban on Hazard because of previous incidents of a similar nature.Sort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies
Defo Red for the hands round Coles throat. OK, he never did it violently but you just don't do it, so a red for me.
Colloccini's eyes never left the ball, so nothing deliberatly malicous in the 'attempt to get the ball'. A Yellow and a penalty would have been the right thing to do.................but injuries happen and it matters if it was deliberatly reckless or not.

I agree, Roy F. But where was the penalty? Who will question Howard Webb's decision? Not the FA it would seem.
I would love to see NUFC relegated.

This week, Jenn Chapman introduces us to tennis player, Elliott Sprecher, who has been nationally ranked in his age group since the age of 12, in our Gordy's Athlete of the Week.
Elliott Sprecher/Tennis Player from Cadott: "I went to my first match, I didn't really know what to expect, I was kind of excited. I won the match, I was like oh my gosh, I'm gonna go pro. Then I lost my next match badly and I decided I might have to rethink that but I've stuck with it so far."
Elliott Sprecher may not have gone pro after his first tennis match at the age of 10, but six years later he earned a third seed at the coveted Easter Bowl, the highest national seed any Wisconsin tennis player has ever received.
Matt Sem/PTR Certified Tennis Professional: "There is not really one weakness in his game. He's got very good stamina. Serving, he's got a very good serve. So I wouldn't think there's anything really, maybe serving volley a bit, but adding that will help him out, maybe complete his whole overall game."
Elliott won sectionals last July in Minnesota, was a semifinalist in the USTA National Winter Championships in December, and was the recipient of the Jerry Noyce Junior Sportsmanship Award…but he isn't done yet.
Sprecher: "I want to play in four year at a D1 school and then after that see where it takes me. But I think I have a lot of room for improvement, I think that my game has a lot of room to become something better."
Even before Elliott started playing tennis he was homeschooled. Unlike most of his competitors who do the same in warm weather states, Elliott has to make the most of his indoor training, thriving off his nickname of Farm Boy from Cadott, Wisconsin.
Sprecher: "I do come from a farm, I have 10 horses. We raise hay. It's 80 acres. I like four wheeling in my spare time. During the summer we have to put up the hay crop and lift bales into lofts. At tournaments people are like oh this guy is from Wisconsin, you know who's he? Nobody good comes from Wisconsin."
Sem: "He has that edge that athletes have that get in a zone and you can't teach that. And he being from Wisconsin he wants to prove to people that you don't have to be from California or Florida to be a top level player."
The personable, 16 year old says he has grown as an athlete and as a person through sharing his love for the sport at the YMCA Tennis Center in Eau Claire.
Mark Pepperl/11 year old tennis student: "I like learning from Elliott because he is a really good tennis player and he taught me it's better to miss long than in the net."
Sprecher: "Teaching other people even if they're not quite your level, it teaches you a lot about your own game. It makes you think what can you do different? What can you do here?"
Next up for Elliott, is a national open in Michigan in May. For Athlete of the Week, Jenn Chapman, SportScene13.

When it comes to March Madness®, everyone loves a Cinderella story. Last year, Butler University was a Cinderella repeat – advancing to the finals during the 2010 and 2011 tournaments. And this year, Norfolk State, Lehigh and Ohio achieved "David vs. Goliath" glory in the first round.
At UPS, we love Cinderella stories too. Especially in business. Our "Game Changers" campaign celebrates the story of people who see opportunities and solutions that others overlook. And in the process, achieve success. Companies like Southwest Airlines and UPS customer Zappos were one-time upstarts who reached success with ingenuity, teamwork, vision and smart planning. We call that logistics at UPS.

Team of 5 Alumni leave for China to teach English
Five CBU alumni became a team and a family to each other as they prepared to teach English Language and Culture to college students for the next year at Jilin University in the capital city of Changchun, Jilin Province, located in Northeastern China.
The alums include Justin Howard ('11), Mercedes Vasquez Howard ('10 and '12), Ryan Arch ('12), Lizbeth Arias ('13) and Tyler Garrison ('13). This summer, the team members completed extensive training at CBU and are now TEFL certified. Carla Liu, Assistant Professor of English and TESOL, prepared and taught the curriculum during a six week session of training. This International Teaching Program involved pedagogical training in teaching English to second language learners overseas. Cultural knowledge in the values, beliefs, ideology, communication and educational styles of the host country were also covered in the training. Trainees were taught how to appropriately interact with the Chinese in a way that exemplified a Christ-like attitude. In addition, several visitors with experience teaching in China visited the class to share pertinent information.
