Netflix 'Add To DVD Queue' Feature Removed
Popular DVD rental and movie streaming service Netflix today announced that they were removing the ability to let users add movies to DVD queue from their streaming devices. In a blog post on the company website, Jamie Odell, director of Product Management at Netflix wrote,
"We're removing the "Add to DVD Queue" option from streaming devices. We're doing this so we can concentrate on offering you the titles that are available to watch instantly. Further, providing the option to add a DVD to your Queue from a streaming device complicates the instant watching experience and ties up resources that are better used to improve the overall streaming functionality."
The move marks another significant step for Netflix to transform into a purely movie streaming service. However, the removal of this feature has got a number of users unhappy who point out that it will be making it difficult for users to add movies – those that are not available for instant viewing – to their queue.
In any case, it doesn't look like Netflix will be reverting the change anytime soon. If you were a fan of that feature, it looks like you must learn to live without it.
Is iPhone Jailbreak Legal? Apple Doesn't Think So
Technically, it is not illegal to jailbreak the software of any device that you "own". The Digital Copyright Millennium Act had stated last year that jailbreaking an iPhone or any other device for that matter was not illegal. Apple had stated back then that though the process itself might be legal, the company would still stick to its policy of voiding the warranty of devices that indulge in jailbreaking since such hacks were the primary cause of iOS crashes and malfunction.
Now, with the cat and mouse game between Apple and jailbreakers still on, it looks like Apple may be seeking legal counsel on this subject one more time. The company is learned to have to have approached the Copyrights Office of the Federal Government seeking a "crack down" on hackers who offer jailbreak software. In their proposal, Apple has said,
"Current jailbreak technologies now in widespread use utilize unauthorized modifications to the copyrighted bootloader and operating system, resulting in the infringement of the copyrights in those programs"
Specifically, Apple has pointed out that such jailbroken devices are a way for users to pirate copyrighted software and hence the company wants a ban on such processes. The response from the Copyrights office is not known yet.

Can Amazon Bestsellers List Be Gamed? New Kindle Book Tells How
Amazon's proprietary algorithm that ranks and offers recommendation to book readers has always been a matter of debate. While there has been several accusations in the past about the company turning a blind eye to authors gaming the system to reach the bestsellers' list, nothing much has come out of it until now. However, a recent book – ironically available for purchase on Amazon Kindle – tells us the exact methodology that one needs to pursue to ensure that their books top the bestsellers chart on Amazon.
In the book, author Thomas Hertog claims to have successfully got his previous book – "Wealth Hazards" – to reach the #1 on the bestsellers' list in the personal finance category although he barely sold 32 copies in 45 days of launch. Hertog points out that his gaming technique helped him overtake genuine bestselling authors like Robert Kiyosaki, Andrew Tobias and Dave Ramsey who have sold more than 50 million books. How did he do it? Hertog explains,
"I discovered how Amazon ranks book sales, customer reviews, comments on reviews, books that other buyers bought, and creates Amazon recommendations. Then I bought and downloaded to my Kindle one hundred and seventy-three times my own book Wealth Hazards, wrote numerous five-star customer reviews, and voted on how helpful or unhelpful reviews were in making a purchasing decision. I did this everyday on Amazon for nearly five months."
Hertog has summarized his experiences on his book, "The Day the Kindle Died", that can be purchased on Amazon by clicking here. It is a real eye-opener to the way Amazon ranks books besides letting us rethink the way Amazon could be violating the users' privacy to mine valuable data using simple bookmarking tools like WhisperSync.

iPod Nano Jailbreak Imminent With New Hack
Those of you wanting to put your iPod nano to better use can get hopeful. Developer James Whelton has revealed that he has taken the first step towards enabling a possible jailbreak of the sixth generation iPod nano. In all fairness, Whelton's hack at present is pretty simplistic and all that it does is to remove one of the default apps from the iPod nano. But Whelton has said that hackers can now build upon this to develop a more sophisticated jailbreaking solution for iPod nano in the future. He says,
"The hack and things I've been playing around with and have done use the already available 'disk use' of the device. The hack is simple, like Forrest Gump simple, the importance is that it got the Nano hack got attention and thankfully attracted some kickass hackers and developers who wish to work on it with me, I'm gonna be doing all I can to facilitate this. iPod Nano hacking is nothing new (http://ipodlinuxinstl.sourceforge.net/)."
Meanwhile, if you own a iPod nano 6th gen device, you can check out the tutorial for the current hack by clicking here.
iPhone Is Most Popular Product On eBay 2010
eBay, the world's largest online auction website, has published its annual list of the most popular items on their online stores for the year nearly gone by. Like many of the previous years, electronic gadgets continue to be one of the most popularly selling items. According to the latest listing, iPhone related items and accessories were the most searched for and purchased item on eBay in 2010. The etailer has revealed that close to 1,634,674 iPhone 4 related items were sold this year.
Apple also scores on another front – the iPad. The eBay study has shown that over 621,399 iPad related products were sold during this period. It is interesting to note that the iPad was launched only in April while iPhone 4 was launched in June of this year – which means these products did not sell all through the year and still managed the top slots. iPad, for the record, was eBay's fifth most popular item.
Here are the top ten item categories that found popularity on eBay this year
1. iPhone
2. Barbie
3. Military jackets
4. Hot Wheels
5. iPad
6. World cup
7. The Beatles
8. Silly Bandz
9. Alice in Wonderland
10. New Orleans Saints
Wikileaks.Org Down – How To Access WikiLeaks Website & Documents?
A day after Amazon shut down its servers to Wikileaks.org – the non-profit whistleblower website, the website's DNS management provider EveryDNS.net has announced that they are terminating their service as well. While Amazon cited breach of terms for terminating their contract, EveryDNS has stated that other partner websites are facing increasing risks due to the heavy number of DDoS attacks on Wikileaks that has prompted the company's decision.
While the website itself is down, the group's Dutch mirror site, Wikileaks.nl appears to be active at the moment. Other websites hosted in .fi, .org.uk and .se domains do not seem to be resolving at the moment. Folks at SkepticGeek note that Wikileaks.ch too is functional but I am not able to open the site from where I am.
So if you are looking for a way to reach out to the Wikileaks documents, you may visit this alternate website.
Preventing US Government Website Seizures With New BitTorrent-Based DNS System
The US Government has been cracking down on a number of websites that it claims contain "misbehaving" content including offering ways to access pirated content. This has been primarily done with the help of ICANN – the organization that is responsible for handling domain names. Thanks to the control that ICANN holds over individual domain names, the US government is noted to be easily able to shut off websites that it deems are unlawful.
Now, a number of internet enthusiasts – including the founders of the popular pro-piracy website, PirateBay are mulling over alternatives that will help website owners host such content deemed unlawful without having to worry about being hassled by government agencies. The group has proposed a new BitTorrent-like DNS system that will decentralize the DNS system over multiple computers that install an application and thereby make it impossible for ICANN to block content. The new system could run on a .p2p domain suffix instead of conventional TLDs like .com or .net.
The proposal is still in the development stages and it will be interesting to see how this moves forward.
Want To Make A Movie? Amazon Enters Movie Production Business
Amazon is looking to venture into movie production. The company is now calling upon aspiring movie writers to submit their scripts on a new website called Amazon Studios. The most promising work stands a chance to be made into a movie that will be made by Amazon in partnership with Warner Bros. Participants with better resources could even submit a "test movie" that shall have good acting and screening for the selection process.
The possible rewards to the winner are huge. Filmmakers stand to earn $200,000 if their story gets made into a movie and an additional $400,000 if the movie grosses over $60 million at the box office.
This is an interesting use of the crowdsourcing model and will help Amazon, who have until now been a leader in the movie streaming and DVD sale business take a new direction. What do you think of this exciting venture?

Non-francophones in Quebec are convinced that the Parti Québécois are doing whatever they can do drive them out of the province, acording to a new survey.
The survey, done by Ekos Research for the CBC, suggests 46 per cent of Quebecers believe the PQ is actively working to discourage non-francophones from staying, while 37 per cent didn't believe that.
Among anglophones and allophones, those figures whoot up dramatically — 81 per cent of anglophones and 78 per cent of allophones agree with that statement.
Among francophones, only 37 per cent agree with that assessment, while 43 per cent disagree.
It's another component of the poll released last week that suggested half of non-francophone Quebecers were thinking of leaving the province within the next year.
While premier Pauline Marois last week touted the "great respect" she had for the anglophone community, Liberal Leader Philippe Couillard on Monday denounced the party for its "deplorable" approach to anglo concerns.
"[The PQ is] totally indifferent to how our fellow English-speaking Quebecers feel about the situation." Couillard told reporters on Monday. "There is no preoccupation for how our English-speaking fellow Quebecers — I insist on that term — view the current policies and the direction that is being taken by the PQ."

George Orwell for real
November 25, 2011 - Harry Eagar
Lil Zeke, commenting on my review of "Rural Russia under the Old Regime" (Nov. 24), notes that "Animal Farm" is a good look at the origins of Bolshevism, which is true enough; but it gives me a chance to correct what I take to be a widespread – and deliberate – misreading of George Orwell in America.
Orwell to the end of his life was a socialist, and not an easygoing one, either. He belonged to the Independent Labour Party, not the trade union socialists of the British Labour Party. He was also a lifelong antifascist.
It must have come as a shock to him when he was embraced by rightwing and fascist-friendly anticommunist zealots in America like Henry Luce and had his late books, "Animal Farm" and "1984," made into Book-of-the-Month Club mainstream American political fodder.
He hadn't gotten such a warm response from those quarters when he wrote about fighting-- with real bullets – Fascists in Spain in "Homage to Catalonia." In that book, he excoriated Stalinism, having seen it so close that he had to flee Spain to escape Red hitmen, but in "Homage," as well as in his wartime propaganda broadcasts for the Ministry of Information, he never let up on his contempt for capitalists, especially capitalist fellowtravelers of fascism.
When I was growing up, "Animal Farm" and "1984" were thought to be appropriate, often required, reading for high school students, but we were not exposed to "Homage to Catalonia" (especially not in vehemently profascist Catholic schools like St. Pius X High School – named after a leading protofascist of the early 20th century); still less to Orwell's searing exposes of capitalist mistreatment of workers that he wrote for the Left Book Club in the '30s, "The Road to Wigan Pier" and "Down and Out in Paris and London."
In fact, when I decided in the early '70s to read everything Orwell ever wrote – which I did – it was not so easy to find "Wigan Pier" or, especially, "Down and Out." I had to order them from Blackwell's in Oxford.
His essays and journalism, and especially his long piece about being abused as an out-of-work laborer, "The Spike," were available in America, if you looked hard enough for them. But I doubt that many American admirers of "Animal Farm" have ever heard of "The Spike." ("The Spike" would repay reading right now, in the context of the vile criticism being thrown by the rightwingers at the Occupy movement. Staying in once place, even for a night, was illegal for the unemployed in England in the '30s.)
After reading all his novels, essays, reviews, political tracts and wartime propaganda, I turned to his letters. Same story. The Orwell sponsored by American rightwingers was not the real Orwell.
But even Orwell did not fully understand Orwell. He first came to attention with his essay "Shooting an Elephant," probably the only essay of his that was widely circulated in America. In it, George Orwell the writer told the story of Eric Blair the colonialist policeman in Burma, (they were the same man), who shot a rich man's elephant that was destroying the food stalls of some poor Burmese hawkers.
Orwell/Blair was guilt-ridden, but he need not have been. Not about that, anyway. The British regime in Burma was well-hated, and for good reason, so that when the Imperial Japanese Army arrived in 1942, the Burmese were enthusiastic. The fact was – and still is, as you will see if you pick up your daily newspaper – that except for the short 70 years or so of British administration, poor Burmese had never had, and still do not have, equal standing before the law and justice compared with the privileged classes.
So far as I know, Orwell never rethought "Shooting." Time was pressing and he was dying of tuberculosis. Toward the end, he regretted that his generation had been so overwhelmed by political events that he had never had the opportunity to fulfill his life's ambition of being a literary novelist. (He did not say but I assume he wanted to be of the type, but not like, of E.M. Forster, whose "Passage to India" had all the subterranean literary gewgaws that "Burmese Days" did not have; for my money, "Burmese Days" is far the better novel.)
In America, Orwell was adopted by liberals as an anticolonialist and by rightwingers as an anticommunist. It would be better to appreciate him for what he was: a democrat who stood up first and last for the little guy.

Plenty of entrepreneurs, managers, CEO, SEO, and Internet sorts have been throwing their opinions into the social media arena ahead of 2014. What can businesses around the world expect? Whilst there's unlikely to be a major overhaul, there are minor changes worth noting. I'll throw my opinion out there, too, and have a go at some social media prescience. Here's what you should consider for the year ahead.
Twitter and Facebook Up Financial Demands
Thousands of new brands have taken to the big two social media networks to promote their products throughout 2013. Due to this the activity feeds for Twitter and Facebook have become a frenzied war zones where everyone is trying to outdo each other. Twitter have brought in Sponsored Tweets, which companies pay for — the Tweet gets launched high up search results. This comes at quite the price, and one which major companies can easily afford. For small businesses unable to throw millions at marketing campaigns, a cannier approach is required. You can visit the Twitter for Smaller Businesses page to consider if this option is for you. Facebook has a similar theme where you can pay to "boost" posts.
What is clear is more companies will be paying to get their social media activities seen by the public. When you decide your marketing strategy it's up to you to decide if you want to pay the fees. 2014 will be a stressful year as millions fight for guest post places and content that will stand out. My advice is to understand your niche and to keep your content as entertaining as possible. Don't be grandiose where it isn't necessary, and engage your current customers in a friendly way.
Google+ Will Be Vital
Your social media activities help to improve your brand awareness, reach out across the vastness of the Internet, and connect with established customers. Content marketing does much the same, directing traffic to your site. Having quality articles is a must, and you will want to pay for this to be done correctly. However, instead of relying on online article services, hire talented writers and work with them directly to produce original content for your site. If Google thinks you're spamming the websites, there could be a unpleasant reaction.
One way to keep this from happening is prove your credentials by registering for Google+. In 2014 it's absolutely necessary to be set up on this social media format — its user rate is booming and it's linked with all of Google's major features (YouTube, Gmail, etc.). If you're not on Google+, sign yourself on immediately, fill out your profile in detail, and sign up to Google Authorship. This is vital for anyone with a regular online content presence — you want to be recognised by Google as a proper writer, and not a dreaded spammer. Google will no doubt be rolling out updates for the service throughout 2014, and you would be wise to take advantage of the company's ingenuity.
Google Search Updates
There will be more of them on the way and they will define how you adapt your marketing campaign in 2014. Google are fairly open about when the updates go out, so keep an eye out and adjust your activities accordingly.
Images and Video as Customer Engagement
Images and video are an increasingly important marketing tool, first really highlighted by Pinterest in 2012. Two new companies have been making an impact of late. Snapchat involves sending a message, which promptly deletes itself from history after its been read. It's largely based around images, and it's proving popular due to the privacy issues many people have regarding social media. Some companies have been trying out the tool for marketing campaigns — so long as an image is striking it can stick in someone's mind even if the message promptly ceases to exist. Vine videos are somewhat similar as they promote creativity, so any companies with a creative set of promoters can come up with an entertaining video to market.
Embracing mobile technology is key to this. Giving new formats a whirl can pay off in unexpected ways; keep an eye out for innovative apps and new software and steal the opportunity away from other businesses. Something could always come from it.
Increased Social Media Etiquette
In 2013 we began to see a backlash against the rampant narcissism exploding within certain social media formats. As the word "Selfie" entered the dictionary, several popular YouTube videos highlighted how gadgets are making many people lose their self-awareness. Others are becoming irritated by the lack of manners on show. Some Selfies from the public went viral as they were taken in staggeringly inappropriate locations: at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant, Auschwitz, and there were numerous from people at funerals.
2014 should see a greater amount of awareness campaigns regarding online etiquette. This is already in action courtesy of Lauren McCarthy and Kyle McDonald, who have created an app which uses Google's Hangouts section to keep people from being annoying. Us+ monitors your Google video chat through linguistic analysis. If you're griping too much it will drop text hints to be more optimistic. If Us+ gets entirely bored of your verbose rambling it will shut the microphone off. Such initiatives will likely be on the increase in 2014 and you should make sure your company isn't irritating customers with online content. One standard complaint is overdoing posts — keep activities concise, striking, and limited to avoid driving people away.
3D Printing?
Finally, 3D printing has been everywhere in the news during 2013: 3D printed art conventions, movie marketing campaigns, and 3D printed food machines. The technology will be affordable for everyone within a few years, and expect many innovations in 2014. In the meantime, if you run the Windows 8.1 OS, you can download free 3D printing software called MakerWare. It's by MakerBot, and even if you don't have a 3D printer it's worth having a look through to try and comprehend the technology.
Can we expect to see a social media 3D printing revolution? Many companies are trying: Warner Bros. used The Hobbit: Desolation of Smaug to engage fans with a 3D printed Key to Erebor, and my company ran a 3D printing design competition earlier in 2013 to great success. Something is certainly stirring, so keep an eye on news feeds to see if you can apply it to your niche.

And I thought I was having a hard time pulling it together two months after the damn fact!
The City's Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Preparedness announced today that over 220 pieces of lost luggage from Hurricane Gustav is still sitting around unclaimed.
I bet most of it is two month-old evacuated refrigerator food...Uh!
Residents that participated in the City Assisted Evacuation Plan (CAEP) for Hurricane Gustav and lost luggage going through the Union Passenger Terminal, Joe Yenni, or Alario Center processing points must retrieve their belongings from City Hall at 1300 Perdido. Those wishing to check for lost baggage should inquire with the New Orleans Office of Public Advocacy, Room 1W09 or call 311. Outside of New Orleans, call 877-286-6431. Pick-up times are 9-5pm until October 31, 2008.
I can't WAIT to see how City of N.O.-Idea-WTF-They're-Doing screws this up. Trust this.

The weather was beautiful and I had plans to summit Sauk Mountain and Dock Butte in one evening. On the map they were pretty close to one another, and they both were short hikes. Sauk Mountain being 4 miles RT and Dock Butte Being 3 miles RT. Both elevation gains were a touch over a thousand feet each. I was prepared for some short jaunts, but nothing to get all worked up about. I knew that I would be cutting it close on daylight, but felt that I could squeeze them into one adventure. I was mainly hoping that they would have good, visible trails because I figured whichever one I did last I would be walking out under headlamp. As I went through the major city of Concrete I saw a really sweet looking mountain up ahead. I knew that I would soon be approaching my objective, but when I first saw the mountain I thought, "wow I would really like to check that bad boy out." Well it ended up being Sauk Mtn, so Sauk it to me!!! I headed east on highway 20 and was soon taking a left on the Sauk Mountain Road. It was a very easy turnoff to find and well marked. You can see Sauk Mountain from Highway 20 as you close in on the turnoff. Sauk Mountain seen from Highway 20 I followed the road for 6 miles and parked at the TH. The temp was hot and I headed up knowing I needed to make good time. I left my truck around 4:30pm. The wildflowers were amazing and are currently in full tilt on this hike. Tiger Lilly on the trailSauk Mountain trail cutting across the mountain, Sauk River cutting through the valley Bald Mountain and Sauk Lake seen from Sauk MountainClass 3 scramble to the true summit The trail switchbacks up a steep slope and gains the ridge to the old fire lookout site. Once I got on the ridge I came to a vantage point that had a great view over to Bald Mountain and down to Sauk Lake. This is where I met a guy and two chicks just coming down. I asked him about the true summit, but he said that the true highoint was where the old lookout was at and you could still see some remains there. I tried to explain the class 3 scramble over to the true highpoint, but he wasn't interested in hearing my apparently "made up" story. He said that he has been there like 8 times and the old lookout site was the highest you could go. I smiled and was on my way. I followed the easy trail to the old lookout site. There was a little loose rock and some snow patches, but a very easy stroll. At the top I met a nice lady with 4 kids. First thing I did was look over at the true summit and saw that it was higher. Not by much, but you could for sure tell. I dropped my pack and scramble along the knifes edge to the highpoint. It was actually the best part of the whole day. Took some pics of the benchmark, which I was hoping to show the guy on the way down. He was about 20 minutes in front of me though. It was sweet to see my truck parked at the TH while I was balancing over a thousand feet above. I got to the true summit around 5:30. Purples and YellowsBlue Sweet TexturesPurple Aster ButterflyGang of Butterflies I then headed back and was to my truck around 6pm. Never ran into the guy again, but no big deal. The old lookout site is a real nice place to go... but if you want to get all huffy about highpoints, its an exposed scramble... lol All you could see was a cloud of dust as I raced toward Dock Butte. I headed West along Highway 20 and took a right on the Baker Lake Highway. Headed 12 miles and took a left at FSR #12. This turnoff wasn't marked very good, or better yet it was marked kind of funky. Took this road for 7 miles and took another left on Road #1230. Took this for 4 miles until it finally ended at the trailhead. Ya I know. This burned up a lot of time, but it was a pretty drive. Mt Baker Cool colored rock and Mt BakerLooking toward Mt Baker with slopes of HeatherColor on Mt Baker I threw on my gear and left the TH around 7:30pm. The trail was easy to follow. It felt like it was longer than 1.5 miles, but I reached the summit at 8:30pm. I was able to enjoy the amazing sunset and then headed back down. I would have taken a dip in Blue Lake if time allowed.

Watch LOMA Webcast on Demand: A Progressive Approach to Insurance Policy Administration Transformation
By Calvin Glenn-Oracle on Jan 27, 2016
Many carriers are embarking on a transformation journey to modernize their core policy administration systems in an effort to provide more flexibility, improve speed-to-market and increase revenue growth and profitability. However, there is simply nothing as daunting as a full policy administration system replacement project. These initiatives take multiple years to complete, and they are expensive and risky. There are many significant and high-profile policy administration system replacement programs that have ended in failure.
To reduce risk, some carriers are using progressive migration instead of full system replacement. These carriers implement some components of the system first – such as new business, commission or billing – then expand to full policy administration functionality once the technology is proven. This approach allows carriers to achieve incremental returns on the investment and minimize risk. It reduces the need for carriers to take a "big bang" approach to modernizing and gives the flexibility to implement the additional capabilities of the full policy administration system later, without having to rewrite all the rules, products and calculations.
In this webcast, Oracle and LOMA invite you to learn more about this approach and explore how insurers can use Policy Administration components to achieve enterprise agility while reducing risk.

Blueshirts United has this quote from Brandon Prust on his mantra of "It's Just Pain"…
"I've always been scratching and clawing to get into the lineup so I never want to leave now that I have the opportunity to play. It's something I will carry with me the rest of my career. I never want to be out of the lineup."
…if you didn't already love Prust you do now. I swear I'm still getting that Prust jersey. Or at least a t-shirt.

Bhayangkara Hospital in Surabaya is potential to generate hazardous solid waste. Therefore, it needs a good management system from the source to the disposal system in order to prevent the impact of pollution to the environment. The aims of this study are: to measure the amount of hazardous solid waste generation, to determine composition of hazardous solid waste, to evaluate hazardous solid waste management system, and to establish management strategies. The methods included sampling and composition techniques measurement of the hazardous solid waste according to National Standards SNI 19-3964-1995. Repetition of sampling was done 8 times. Analysis were carried out based on technical, institutional and legal aspects by SWOT analysis. The sources hazardous solid waste in Bhayangkara Hospital were polyclinic, laboratory, emergency, radiology, operating, ICU, and seven nurse units. The total hazardous solid waste generation rate was 6.46 kg / day. The main hazardous solid waste component was non sharp infectious waste (43.22%), which comprised cotton, gloves, used maskers etc. The other components were: pharmaceutical toxic waste (32.81%), sharp infectious waste (15.39%), and sharp metal infectious waste (8.57%). There were technical incompatibilities of the existing hazardous solid waste management to the national standard guidelines. The incompatibilities were: containment, collection, storage, processing, and destruction systems. The ideal condition of hazardous solid waste management should be based on the government standards. The proposed strategy was to apply hazardous solid waste management standards. Improvement of the hazardous solid waste should be consulted with the Health Agency of Surabaya City.

Dwyane Wade had one of his best NBA All-Star Game performances on both the stat sheet as well as on the on-feet department. His All-Star kicks have been relatively lackluster throughout his entire career, but his Li-Ning Way of Wade 'All-Star' was a definite showstopper with the sick purple colorway and bubble graphics on the upper. Sneaker News gave you a first look at these when we spotted them at Wade's party on Friday night, but these official images gives us a better look at a sneaker design that is unfolding before our eyes rather nicely. A gallery is just ahead so give them a look and keep the conversation going.

where the fk can i get a pair of these!
those zebra laces are wack.
Those Jordan Fly Wades are looking better and better to me in the clearance rack these days...
This shoe was made to represent that horrible time in DWade's life when he was infected with the Chicken Pox. #truestory
Wasn't feeling these at first but I like em now. Still wouldn't pay $160 for them
I've been feelin the wade li Nings people hate on em cuz there not Js or nike but the concept of thes r dope and a friend of mine has seen a pair and apparently the quality is on point only thing we need now is fucking North American release date wuts the hold up
Just don't work for me, not even with John K using phrases like "sick purple colorway and bubble graphics on the upper", hehe. Some nice images, not a bad looking shoe but I'm not impressed.
them some nice mean looking shoes.
i like these when do they drop
OK, the color is sick (the midsole and icy outsole too), but the bubble graphic is just silly. It's one detail too many.
I disagree. I feel the graphics give it originality and life. I'm kinda diggin these but that Wade logo is terrible plus Wade is a bit of a Dbag for my tastes

The Rubber Game
Ted Lilly's first start of the season and him and the TLFC are all amped up to try and take the first series of the year.
"It's the biggest game of the year," Lilly said.
Ted's Intensity (aka Tedtensity) just made us punch through the TLFCHQ
Italian Granite counter tops... and our hand doesn't even hurt. Damn
right it's the biggest game of the year, Ted continues,"Because
it's the first one," Lilly said. "They're all important. Every one I'm
starting is the most important, and that's the mentality you have to
Fukudome, Lee, Bradley, Ramirez, Fontenot, Theriot, Hill, Lilly
Some minor site news after the jump...
I'm going to be M.I.A. from the website for the next week and a half or so, it's just time to stop neglecting the rest of the world and take a little time to see my niece for the first time and watch her get baptized, as well as visit my sick, but resilient father and generally try and catch up on far too many things I have been neglecting. The rest of the TCR crew should pick up the slack for the most part, but if posting and updates are a little sparse during that time frame, I hope everyone understands. And do try to keep the comments at something resembling a civil discussion.
Also, you may want to check your entry for the TCR '09 Contest. If there are any mistakes, drop it in the comments and I'll change it. See everyone on the other side....
Re: The Rubber Game
(sound:electric guitar)
All kidding aside Rob, good luck and God bless.
Don't eat too much cheese.
Re: The Rubber Game
Rob is lying.
He's just covering for himself while he begins posting at BCB.
Re: The Rubber Game
I think Hrothgar is going to lose the contest.
Re: The Rubber Game
Sweet God we're excited, just threw back a case of Bud Extra and we still are shaking.
TLFCSC predicts a pretty solid one for Ted - 6 2/3 IP 7 k 1 BB 2 ER 1-2 BB, 1B, 1 HBP (Hunter Pence) - but we wouldn't be surprised if TL sends one ya ya for his first of 15 HR this season.
Rob, appreciate the props. Enjoy your time off. TLFCSC has hacked your login so we'll post in your name as long as you like. Who knew your password was "KellyClarksonRulez."
Re: The Rubber Game
I figure this will be a high scoring game tonight.
Re: The Rubber Game
All the best Rob.
Re: The Rubber Game
Just don't go all John Hill on us Rob.
Re: The Rubber Game
You and your father are in my thoughts, RobG. And say hi to your niece!
Re: The Rubber Game
Man, I like these kind of games. Everyone getting hits and no pressure as it is a sleeper. Nice!! GO Cubs!!!
Re: The Rubber Game
Looks like I talked a little too soon. 8-4 now. Lilly still struggling with the long ball. We might need some more runs.
Re: The Rubber Game
All the best to your family, Rob.
Re Ted Lilly - he has been throwing batting practice for hr's since the WBC.
I hope he and Rothschilds work this shit out.
Wrigley will be even tougher.
Re: The Rubber Game
Err... Added an s above to Rothschild.
Re: The Rubber Game
Best to RobG and thanks for all your work on the site.
P.S. enough with the Astro homers already
Re: The Rubber Game
Ex Cub watch: Ronny Cedeno playing LF for the Mariners.
Re: The Rubber Game
Question on David Patton:
I haven't seen him pitch, but according to Gameday (which isn't always right), he sports a mid-90s fastball. Last couple are just south of 95.
What is the scouting report on Patton?
With that kind of gas, no wonder we were interested in keeping him.
Re: The Rubber Game
he's also got a decent developing change and i believe a slider (not sure on the slider, but he's got a 3rd pitch with promise).
Re: The Rubber Game
Muskett said it was a curve and it was his out pitch.
Re: The Rubber Game
Re: The Rubber Game
We're splitting hairs at this point, but Bob said (and I agree) that's it probably a knuckle-curve.
Re: The Rubber Game
Brenly said he had a "spiked curve ball"
Re: The Rubber Game
Yup, Manny's right. Fukudome is done.
Re: The Rubber Game
Re: The Rubber Game
...although, he'll probably go 0-20 now that I say that. Maybe you jinxed him good?
Good confidence boost for him at least. Go Cubs.
Re: The Rubber Game
CUBS WIN!! CUBS WIN!! 11-6! Our Cubbies took the road series vs. Houston 2 games to 1. Can't ask for more than that.
Offense. Many guys had big nights: Fukudome, Theriot, Fontenot, Ramirez, Soriano. They jumped on HOU early and all but put the game away after the 2nd inning.
Bradley. Yes, he is only 0-9, but this situation could turn into Jacque Jones v.2 very quickly. Hopefully Bradley can get a hit over the next series so he doesn't go hitless heading back to Wrigley.
Lilly. Being spotted an 8 run lead wasn't enough to put this game in cruise control as Lilly was continuing his gopher ball spree. Lilly is still not in good form, hopefully he can find in over the next couple starts.
Off day tomorrow and then to MIL. Let's take that series and then head back to Chicago for the hone opener. Go Cubs!
Re: The Rubber Game
Um, yeah, Bradley doesn't have a hit yet in 3 whole games, guess that makes him another Jock Jones.
He also has what, 5 walks? I think the 400-ish OBP is just fine, thanks.
You wanna worry about someone's bat, worry about Lee.
Re: The Rubber Game
"but this situation could turn into Jacque Jones v.2 very quickly"
Are you talking fan wise or performance wise?
I don't believe either would happen.
Re: The Rubber Game
Re: The Rubber Game
Who will have more home runs this year?
a) D Lee
b) Fontenot
Re: The Rubber Game
I'll guess Fontenot, with 200 fewer PAs. Given equal PAs, Fonty in a landslide.
In 1-on-1 basketball in a game to 11 playing 1's and 2's, I'd say 11-2 DLee, with 5 blocks and 3 dunks. Fontenot would hit a lucky 2-pointer.
Re: The Rubber Game
I didn't watch the game, but I have to admit that I laughed out loud when I saw Fukudome's line.
Maybe trashing Fukudome before every game will be this year's "this lineup sucks".
Re: The Rubber Game
Can Guzman really hit 101 mph or was Houston's gun way off? It seemed pretty accurate the rest of the game, but Guzman had one that reached 101, and a couple others at 97. I didn't realize he had that in him.
Re: The Rubber Game
Guzman only throws 101 when he's not had enough biscuits for breakfast. Otherwise, LOOK OUT.
Re: The Rubber Game
At one time, the scouts were saying Gooz had better stuff than ANY pitcher that had come through the Cubs system in a decade and wasn't named Mark Prior. Man, if he's ready to stay healthy and fulfill even some of that potential, the Cubs are going to have a ridiculous bullpen.
Shoot, I'll settle for Gooz turning into what Juan Cruz became, that would be plenty fine with me.
Re: The Rubber Game
Speaking of Juan Cruz, no one has been able to answer this for me, why didn't the Cubs give him an offer after knowing that he wouldn't cost them a 1st round pick (or whatever MLB regulated his FA status to be)?
Re: The Rubber Game
The Cubs management think Cruz is a clubhouse problem. Allegedly that's why they got rid of him in the first place.
Re: The Rubber Game
He would have cost the cubs a 1st rounder.
He didn't cost KC a 1st rounder because their 1st round pick was top-15 protected.
He cost them a 2nd rounder.
Re: The Rubber Game
Houston's stadium scoreboard gun has always been about 2 MPH faster than other places.
Re: The Rubber Game
It's pretty much standard for the Houston gun to run hot. Oswalt used to get distracted looking at his velocity on the ballpark radar gun.
Re: The Rubber Game
MANNY: as a reasonable man, don't you think it's a little early to bail ok Bradley? Did you see his ab when he was down 0-2 and milked a bb? Jock jones rarely did that.
Re: The Rubber Game
Yeah, he has looked NOTHING like JJ thus far. Although he doesn't have a hit he has produced some solid ABs; something JJ never did.
Re: The Rubber Game
I can see where Manny's coming from but it's a different situation with the team playing well, Bradley does get on base and as long as he does not get doubled off second on fly balls THREE TIMES in one week it would be a pretty cold hearted bastard to boo Bradley. Or a dumbass.
Re: The Rubber Game
I am just saying it COULD turn into a JJ situation. I think he is better than JJ, but there are bigger expectations though. I just hope he doesn't get off to a slow start, like JJ, and the fans start getting on him, like JJ, and he gets surely, like JJ. If he comes to Wrigley 0-18 or something, even if he has a few BB's I don't think it will be pretty.
Re: The Rubber Game
Well, can't you say that about everything? He "COULD" turn into a JJ situation (you hypothesize), but I believe you also said last year that, " ____ (name the player) is only a leg injury from being completely useless..." Or - maybe that was for Cliff Floyd, the year before...Am I wrong here? But he "COULD" also perform to his career averages, too. It is just way too early to make statements like this, IMO.
Re: The Rubber Game
No, I didn't say any of that stuff about a leg injury last year. I think that was Crunch.
And I don't think it is too early to talk about it as it happened early to JJ. And he COULD perform to his career averages, but he hasn't thus far and I am saying that if he does go hitless in the first 6 games I hope it doesn't turn into a JJ situation. Not to hard to understand i don't think.
Re: The Rubber Game
1- that's pierre i was talking about...or pretty much any speed/singles guy.
2- comparing JJ to bradley is f'n retarded for 100 reasons be it in the field or (especially) at the plate unless you're talking about how he might be boo'd for not producing some hits before the first home game
Re: The Rubber Game
I'm pretty sure that's what Manny was referring to. There are a few key differences here though:
1) Jacque was a disappointing signing before he even played a game. I think Cubs fans were kind of pissed Hendry didn't go get an impact player, and they were already primed to boo him before he ever stepped to the plate.
2) Related to point 1, MB will be on a longer leash because he has a track record of success and was seen as a big FA signing.
3) Jacque seemed like he didn't give a shit out there. No one will ever say that about MB. Also, Jacque was booed as much for his boneheaded baserunning and awful outfield throws as his shitty bat.
4) I think most fans will seriously be scared to boo him because of his past. Not even drunk frat guys are dumb enough to make a star player turn on his fanbase this early.
If Cardinals fans were smart (they're not, they're morans), they would infiltrate the right field bleachers at Wrigley wearing Cubs gear and just mercilessly hurl racial epithets at Bradley all season.
Re: The Rubber Game
at least cards fans can (at least as of now) visit wrigley bleachers without having crap dumped on them or surrounded by idiots screaming at them.
the yanks OF fans barely get a chance to watch the game in between all the drunk-frat-boy-reject "looking for conflict" exercises and call-and-response with player names. there's some scaaaaaaarey stuff on youtube with them busy screwing with people who paid to see a game rather than watching the game. ...there's also some funny stuff.
Re: The Rubber Game
That's exactly what I was talking about.
Re: The Rubber Game
Oh yeah! Sorry. Pierre. That was ugly. Ricky Nolasco would be so sweet right now...

A left-handed one...
J-Hey not finishing with an offensive onslaught.
If Geoff Blum could be a Playoff hero, there is hope still...
Giants scare me. I think you're wrong about Bumgarner, he would pitch on short rest for Game 2 and then full rest for Game 5. Cueto would go Game 1, then short rest in game 4. Add in some really tough outs in that lineup and I want nothing to do with them. With that rotation they can easily steal a series.
Cards are a tough matchup. The rivalry evens out their comparable lack of talent. And like someone said, they love HRs, which is how to beat the Cubs. The upside is that I would feel really good about Lester twice against STL.

Soler likely to return Sunday, Maddon says
Right now, I'd like to see the Mets first, Giants 2nd.
I believe that since most of the team from last years' NLCS is on the squad this year, they will really amp their game up even more to kick their ass in payback for 2015.
The Giants just do not have the depth in years past, and I think all things equal - and at Wrigley - they could handle them.
I do not want to see the Cards, period. Or their fans, media, or Joe Buck.
I don't want to play Braves in the first round. Any friggin team in the league can win 3 of 5..I hate the first round. Furthermore, I wanted to play the Marlins in 2003 and the Mets over Dodgers last year.
With that said in reverse order:
3. Cardinals: It will be devastating to lose in the first round, but even worse to their main rival. It is increased incentive for the Cardinals, especially after last year. Cards would have nothing to lose, Cubs have everything to lose.
2. Giants: Rotation in the playoffs scare me a bit, but what a lousy team.
1. Mets--because of the losses in the rotation
2. Giants--because they're not the team they were BUT they maybe have bullshit even-year magic?
3. Cardinals--because rivalry and not making the playoffs hurts them more than losing in the NLDS plus getting eliminated by them in the playoffs would make for horrible sports commentary next throughout next season.
Who's asking?
CLE/DET rained out last night already, possible rain-outs in New York (vs. Baltimore), Boston(vs. Toronto) and Philly(vs. Mets) this weekend too.
Not only games involving playoff spots that would need to be played, but any that involve home field advantage.
I got the first one! Second one I'm not even sure what even/odd betting is.

Benedict Cumberbatch's disquieting self-portraits reveal a raft of inner demons
From an outsider's perspective, Benedict Cumberbatch seems to have it all: brilliant acting career, good looks, lots of money, awesome Middle-earth name and one of the most intense followings in all of internet fandom (ok, maybe not that last one).
So why, when sketching a self-portrait to raise money for Britain's New End Primary School, did he draw himself as a deeply suspicious blue-collar worker with rage issues?
As it turns out, this isn't the first perplexing self-portrait drawn by Cumberbuns for charity; back in 2010, he illustrated an even more depressing likeness of himself for the U.K.'s Willow Foundation, in which he envisioned himself as a glum, unemployed Victorian-era poet with dirty hair and an impoverished soul:
All of which begs the very important question: what horrors lie behind those magical sea-foam eyes? Is Benedict Cumberbatch struggling with inner fame-demons? Does the below gif accurately represent how he feels inside? Are the voices getting louder? Does he need me to come over?

Watch 1980s video clip of WWUH in the News!
When the University of Hartford was incorporated just over 50 years ago by business and community leaders, they envisioned a center of education and culture for Greater Hartford. At its core, it would be a university for the community created by the community.
The University has come a long way since its humble beginnings on Hartford's last remaining farm, evolving from a local school for commuters into a comprehensive university that attracts students from throughout the world. Yet it remains true to its original mission of serving as a valued resource for individuals, families, businesses, and communities throughout the Hartford region, offering hundreds of programs that serve the University and its neighbors every day. For over 45 years listener supported WWUH has served an important role in the University's community service mission.
New World Notes - The Corporations and the Economy
This week on New World Notes: radio program #266, March 26, 2013, from 12:00 to 12:30 p.m., host Kenneth Dowst examines an economic paradox.
Corporate profits and stock prices continue to go up, up, up. Yet unemployment remains disastrously high, layoffs are increasing, poverty and personal debt are increasing. How can this be? p>
Noam Chomsky, Jim Hightower, Dave Johnson, The New York Times, and singer Mike Stout provide some answers.
Hint: don't blame nature, the Internet, new technologies, or China. Changes in federal laws and regulations--which Big Business fought hard for--enabled and encouraged the current mess.
Two of the sources we hear from bring up our local contributor to the Dow Jones Industrial Average: United Technologies Corporation. Two weeks ago, UTC reported record profits and reached a record high share price--and announced it would lay off (that is, fire) 3,000 more workers--on top of the 4,000 it laid off in 2012.
Chuck U. Rosina recorded the Chomsky segment in Boston on February 25, 2013. (Thanks again.)
Music added: Mike Stout, from "Occupy".

We've received several questions from blog readers who need help with their Hotmail accounts.
While we can't answer each question individually, below we answer five commonly asked questions. And we show you a few different places where you can get more help.
1. Why does my Hotmail look different than it used to?
Hotmail is now Windows Live Hotmail. The screen might look a little different from what you're used to seeing, but your e-mail address and password are the same and there are some great new features, like better protection from spam.
For more information, see mail.live.com.
2. How can I stop someone from sending harassing e-mail messages to my Hotmail account?
If you've received abusive, harassing, or threatening e-mail messages from a Hotmail account, forward a complete copy of the abusive message (including the full message header) to email@example.com.
You can also block the sender so he or she won't be able to send e-mail to you anymore.
Block e-mail from a specific sender:
1. Click the message from the sender you want to block.
2. Click Mark as unsafe. The e-mail message is deleted, and any additional e-mail messages from the same e-mail address are blocked.
If you think someone is trying to illegally access your personal information, such as your bank account number, credit card information, or your password, click Report phishing scam. For more information, see Recognize phishing scams and fraudulent e-mails.
3. What do I do if real messages are going into my junk folder?
You should check your junk mail folder periodically to check for real messages. Legitimate mail might be accidentally filtered into the junk folder because it might look like spam to Hotmail.
When you find a message that's not junk, click the Not Junk button while you are inside the e-mail message. This adds the sender to the safe senders list so that future e-mail messages from this sender will go directly to your e-mail inbox.
To help prevent a sender's e-mail messages from going into your junk folder, open an e-mail message from that sender and then click Mark as safe.
4. How can I get into my account if I've forgotten my password?
To use your Windows Live Hotmail account if you don't have your password, you must reset the password.
Reset your password:
1. On the Windows Live Hotmail Web site sign-in page, click Forgot your password?
2. Type your e-mail address and the characters from the picture, and then click Continue.
3. Select one of the following methods:
· Request password reset instructions in an e-mail message to an alternate e-mail account of yours.
1) Click Send yourself a password reset e-mail message.
2) Click Send Message.
3) Click Done.
4) Open your alternate e-mail account, and then follow the instructions in the e‑mail message from Windows Live ID.
· Answer your secret question to verify your identity.
1) Click Provide account information and answer your secret question.
2) Select your country or region, provide the answer to your secret question, and then click Continue.
3) Enter and confirm your new password, and then click Continue.
4) If you want to set up an alternate e-mail address, enter the e-mail address twice, and then click Continue. If you don't want to set up an alternate e-mail address, click Skip.
5) Click Done.
5. How can I cancel my Hotmail account?
Visit the Windows Live Hotmail close account Web page. Follow the on-screen instructions, and then click Close account to close your account.
More questions? Get online support
Support for Hotmail is available 24 hours a day at mail.live.com. If you have a logon name and password, you can sign in to your account. Click the blue question mark to get help on any of the Windows Live Hotmail pages. Or visit the Windows Live Hotmail help page.
If you can't find the answer to your problem through Help, you can send e-mail to email@example.com.
Microsoft makes every effort to answer e-mail support requests within 24 business hours.

The military history of women is a field crying for definition. Military institutions have everywhere and always strongly influenced the course of history. Throughout history women have participated in these institutions, forming a normal and essential, if not always fully acknowledged, component of military infrastructure as integral elements in the organization of supply and maintenance. Although only in the 20th century have they joined the regular forces, women have always lived and worked in the world of camp and train. Barton C. Hacker and Margaret Vining, both of the Smithsonian Institution, are editing The Brill Companion to Women's Military History, to be published by the Leiden publisher Brill in about two years. They are seeking several articles on women's military history to illustrate various approaches to the subject. Of particular interest are proposals based on original research in pre-20th century Asian topics.
Please send a 1-page abstract plus a 1-page CV to Bart Hacker at We would like to hear from you as soon as possible but there is no fixed deadline.

CHIKARA - Season 11 Discussion Thread

Re: CHIKARA - Season 11 Discussion Thread
Well, seems like Quack has figured out 3 out of 5 of the GEKIDO people
5/4/2012: You showed me something, GEKIDO. You really showed me something in Chicago Ridge. I'm not talking about what you did to Tianlong, who, thanks to you, will go down as the shortest-lived Wrestle Factory grad of all time. That young man's entire wrestling career lasted 65 seconds because of you. No, you showed me something else entirely.
You want to sully our name? You've got some secrets you want to expose? You want the world to know something? Me too.
Three of you are Jose and the two Franks. You're wash-outs. Quitters. Rather than tough it out, show some heart, and stick things through, just before your pro debuts you threw in the towel and vanished into the ether. Did you complete your training somewhere else? Or maybe you couldn't hack that either and you quit again. Took the easy road...which is exactly what you're doing now.
While I haven't figured out who you other two are, I do know the Franks and Jose. Well enough to spot the way you still dip your shoulder blade into an arm drag, Jose. How many hours were spent at my Wrestle Factory trying to correct your sloppy technique? Here we are, all these years later, and I guess you still haven't been bothered to clean up your game. Never thought I'd see that in a CHIKARA ring.
But of course, that is exactly the point. You don't belong in a CHIKARA ring. You haven't earned it. The Colony, Jigsaw, Eddie Kingston, Hallowicked...the list of people that have earned it goes on and on. They had the heart. They made the committment. They made the sacrifices. Not you three, and I'm betting the same is true of you other two losers as well. Birds of a feather, they say.
If pro-wrestling was easy, everyone would do it. But it's not. It takes time. It takes hard work. It takes persistence. It takes passion. And if you don't have, can't muster, or otherwise fail to invent those things then simply put you don't have what it takes to be a professional wrestler. You certainly don't have what it takes to graduate from my Wrestle Factory. And you don't deserve to take up one pixel of space on the CHIKARA roster page either.
You failures think because you write some blogs, send some tweets, post a few videos and then try to politic your way to what everyone else scraped and sweated for that somehow that's just OK? Why do you get a pass? Because Derek Sabato likes the cut of your jib? Because Wink Vavasseur is a softie for a sob story?
Well pin your ears back you wash-outs, and listen well. The CHIKARAverse is populated by men and women who give their all not just when the lights are shining brightly upon them and the world is paying attention. They give their all at every practice, on every road trip, in every sparring session, and at every live event in any way the day demands. They don't whine and complain and cry about it on Twitter or on message forums. They don't find some back door to sneak through so as to circumvent the right way of doing things. No, they are made of sterner stuff than that. They respect the way things are done. Each and everyone of them. And just seeing your pictures alongside theirs on the roster page has my stomach doing moonsaults.
I take immense pride in my proteges, the men and women I have trained these last 10+ years. And your presence here makes a mockery of that. The notoriety we enjoy today, the global fan-following...we didn't always have that. Certainly not when I last saw the likes of you, GEKIDO. Things were tough in the early days. We barely survived month to month. You walked away.
But look at CHIKARA now. No wonder you're jealous. No wonder you're filled with spite. Because if you had the guts, if you had the heart, if you had the cojones to stick it out, maybe it would have been you atop Mount CHIKARA. But I doubt it.
You ask Eddie Kingston. Our Grand Champion. The man atop the mountain. Ask him about the painfully hot nights spent on the canvas tied in knots at the Wrestle Factory. I've seen him scream in agony. You know why? Because I'm the one that made him scream. And someone cut from a different cloth might look back at something like that and call it abuse. They might call it inhuman. The tests he endured. The things I put him through. You ask Eddie Kingston. Ask him if he regrets a moment of it. Ask him if he went home and cried to his friends about how hard, how challenging, how taxing it was to become a professional wrestler. You ask him and you know what?
He'll look at that golden belt of his. And he'll get that half-smirk that works it's way across his face. And he'll backfist the taste right out of your mouth. Be glad the first thing you five pieces of crap did was take me out of the game. I hope that bit of therapy was worth it. Because there are five men in your future that will do more than avenge me. They will teach you the lesson I never did.

George MacDonald was a Scot, a mystic who rejected the harsh Calvinism in which he was raised, a preacher without a pulpit, and a poet whose skills lay not so much with verse as with fairy stories. He published more than fifty books during his lifetime, many of them best-sellers that received critical acclaim. His publications included novels, collections of short stories, sermons, poetry, essays, translations of German and Italian verse, fairy tales, and book-length fantasies. One of the most popular literary figures in Victorian England, he was renowned in his day as a novelist, lecturer, and Christian sage. Today, however, MacDonald is best known as a writer of fantasy, and is often considered one of the fathers of modern fantasy, …
