More minions? 'Despicable Me 2' says yes — fortunately
After witnessing Gru transform from a super-villain to a super-dad with a Play-Doh heart at the end of 2010's "Despicable Me," there was just no way there wouldn't be a sequel.
And "Despicable Me 2," which opens in theaters Wednesday, is better than the original — but not for its storytelling. The 98-minute movie replaces things like plot details with what the audience is clearly more interested in seeing: minions, adorable daddy-daughter moments (Gru, voiced by Steve Carell, dressing up as a "Gruzinklebell" princess for Agnes' birthday) — and of course, for Gru to find the girls a mommy. »Read Full Article

Whiskey of the Damned sing of fighting off demons
If Milwaukee went by any other nickname, Whiskey of the Damned frontman Eoin McCarthy may not have ended up here.
"My dad is a musician (Irish singer-songwriter and comedian Finbar McCarthy), and while we were living in Spain, we got a visa to come here," said McCarthy, a part-time landscaper and cook at the Anvil in Cedarburg and the Tracks. "When you immigrate to America, they give you a list of cities and their nicknames so you can declare where you're going. We looked at the list, and my mom said, 'Right, that's where we're going, Brewtown.'" »Read Full Article(5)
Milwaukee Chamber Theatre taps past in 'October, Before I Was Born'
Lori Matthews grounded her play, "October, Before I Was Born," in a specific historical incident: the Tennessee Eastman Co. explosion of Oct. 4, 1960, which killed 16 people and injured 200 more.
But the dramatic situation she depicts — three edgy relatives waiting to hear the fate of their loved ones after an industrial accident — will remind readers of many other events, such as the trapped Chilean miners, whose ordeal was underway while Matthews was drafting her play, or last year's fertilizer plant explosion in West, Texas, or the Falk Corp. propane gas explosion here in 2006. »Read Full Article

Old Aesop knew a thing or two about life lessons.
He taught me that slow and steady wins the race, that greed can ruin a perfect situation, and how no act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted. His stories make sense and can be applied to everyday life, so why am I not heeding the fable of "The Milkmaid and her Pail?"
The story goes that Patty, a farmer's daughter, is daydreaming as she walks to town with a pail of milk balanced on her head. Her thoughts:
"The milk in this pail will provide me with cream, which I will make into butter, which I will sell in the market, and buy a dozen eggs, which will hatch into chickens, which will lay more eggs, and soon I shall have a large poultry yard. I'll sell some of the fowls and buy myself a handsome new gown and go to the fair, and when the young fellows try to make love to me, I'll toss my head and pass them by."
At that moment, Patty tossed her head and lost the pail full of milk. Her mother admonished, "Do not count your chickens before they are hatched."
When you have Mr. Heisman (not of the Sam Bradford type) returning for a senior year, things look good. When you are also returning 11 starters on defense, things are looking great.
Mix in a little Urban Meyer and a dash of Charlie Strong and you have the beginning of a pretty unbelievable recipe (I hope it calls for asiago cheese). Also throw in the fact that Florida will likely be No. 1 in the polls (oh, how I hate preseason polls, another rant for another time).
Oh, I still haven't gotten to the kicker yet, have I? Florida's schedule is extremely favorable.
How favorable? Take a look for yourself:
Sat. Sept. 5 Charleston Southern
Sat. Sept. 12 Troy
Sat. Sept. 19 Tennessee
Sat. Sept. 26 at Kentucky (Lexington, KY)
Sat. Oct. 10 at LSU (Baton Rouge, LA)
Sat. Oct. 17 Arkansas (Homecoming)
Sat. Oct. 24 at Mississippi State (Starkville, MS)
Sat. Oct. 31 Georgia (Jacksonville, FL)
Sat. Nov. 7 Vanderbilt
Sat. Nov. 14 at South Carolina (Columbia, SC)
Sat. Nov. 21 Florida International
Sat. Nov. 28 Florida State
The upside: No Bama or Ole Miss
The downside: One game, just one small miscue, one daydreaming Saturday afternoon will send Florida from L.A. to LA.
Troy is a tricky team. (I just heard representatives from LSU and Florida State say AMEN.) WLOCP will be slightly less exciting with two first-rounders gone. Florida State could finally show signs of life next year, but the biggest test will come from the school of jacking cell phone numbers.
LSU will certainly have Oct. 10 circled in Sharpie (or their favorite generic brand permanent marker). Why? Because LSU wants to play spoiler and improve their odds.
2006 National Champion: Florida
2007 National Champion: LSU
2008 National Champion: Florida
LSU just figures it's their turn again. I'm sure most LSU and Florida fans would love to alternate national championships, but I'm too busy counting chickens.
I hope I'm right and that my chickens don't come home to roost. I'm going to run to Chick-Fil-A and get me an eight-piece with a sweet tea now. Then go home and watch Armageddon and hope that "Chick" gets to see his son again.
Okay, I better end this before the sky starts falling.

HOLLYWOOD, CALIFORNIA -- Sadly me and Motel 6 may be breaking up after the terrible ordeal I just had last night at Motel 6 at 1738 North Whitley Avenue, Hollywood, Los Angeles, CA 90028. And yes I have had what I considered a long term relationship with Motel 6. They were my choice hotel for years especially because I often travel with my beloved pooch. Right now I type this on my tablet at a LA Quinta Inn that helped me out last night because I was treated so terribly at Motel 6. I just left finally and have traveled all the way from phoenix Arizona and was tired, exhausted and lost.
I guess the employee who was at the front desk named ** made it a point to me that I had made a huge mistake calling the customer experience number and complaining to them about my bad check in experience that he had overheard me in the lobby. I guess the lesson learned here is equal to that lesson of not returning food if there is something wrong with it or it will come back spit on?
Motel 6 employee made sure to spit on my hotel stay experience enough that when I saw a roach crawl out of my air conditioner that was final straw (normally I would have just killed it & not worried about it) but not before I was talked to rudely again when I even tried to ask since I would no longer be staying could I get my money back. And yes I did tell them about the roach and was called a liar.
I contacted corporate who assured me they would settle all this and emailed me a response letter with a report number > I hope they are indeed going to take care of this like they promised and refund me my money. If not I will definitely be disputing this with my credit card company, have the charge removed and never stay at a Motel 6 again :(
DOUGLAS, ARIZONA -- We came in the afternoon about 3 o'clock. I wanted to rent a room and the lady was very nice upfront and she said, "I'm sorry but all we have is an upstairs smoking unit that is nice and clean." My son and I went upstairs the room had a smoke smell, like smoke real bad but it was okay we needed a place to stay. Well we lay down and try to hook up the TV. The TV did not work so we went to Walmart and bought a new plug-in wire for it and the TV still would not work.
We went to the office and they gave us another room, it was a lot cleaner and better carpet but the bedding looked very dirty and worn out. So we took the comforters off. The corners of the sheets were worn out and would not stay on the bed, so I pulled them down. We went to sleep for the night.
We woke up the following morning and the sheets are balled up around my body. It was the grossest thing that I have ever seen in my 58 years of my life. Rollover and got up and looked and there was a giant blood spot 12 to 14 in diameter on the bed that looked like some woman had a problem and left a bloodstain on bed. It was gross, it actually looked like a pregnant woman had sat there and her water broke. I am so sick about it.The money that they gave me back did not satisfy me. I should have somebody from corporate get a hold of me, otherwise I will publicly broadcast on every network and every news place I can ring till someone from corporate contacts me.
I am appalled to let you know that Motel 6 did not take care of their beds. Somebody in this office should do something about it, it is horrible. I hope nobody ever in our life stays at Motel 6 in Douglas Arizona. How would you like to wake up in somebody's nasty blood. I went to the office and they were so embarrassed they did not want us to talk to the manager.
LIMA, OHIO -- I made the reservation 2 weeks ahead of time. When I arrived. I was told my reservation was only for 1 night. I had a confirmation number for 3 nights, they fixed this. When I ask about the price I was told the room was 79.99 a night. I again referred to my confirmation with the price of 59.99 a night. I was told that it was the 79.99. It was too late to go to another room so we stayed. The 3 days we were there not once did the housekeeper ever come into the room to clean. I had to go to the office twice to get towels, tp and garbage bags. We had to empty our own garbage outside in the bin.
When we checked out the charge on my bill was 80.99 per night. I was suppose to get an AARP discount. I have turned this into my credit card company. My friend also stayed at this place and also was charged a bigger price than she was told when she reserved the room. The place isn't clean and the children of the owner were riding their bikes one with training wheels around the parking lot. You had to be careful you didn't hit them. These are not Americans who own this hotel and I don't think being clean is something they know about as I have noticed this at other hotels owned by these people.
MONTEREY, CALIFORNIA -- Well, maybe that wouldn't be everyone's 'cup of tea'. You just need to go downtown to Monterey in truth for the same experience. Certainly we dog owners often have few choices beyond Motel 6. The owner of this establishment is so blatantly hostile she employs a friendly man to apologize for her. There is no place to walk a dog. I told her my dog was 14 years old and could hardly stand up which is why she had no leash and the 'vamp' immediately went for her cell phone to call the police. I was happy to go elsewhere.
All dogs are 'stored' with owners in front row where 'she' can keep an eye on YOU. Not pleasant at all and not at all what Motel 6 is about. Marina is a lot more reasonable. Not my intention to be racist [for sure], but Motel 6 does everyone a disservice by offering franchises to individuals who clearly hate dogs. We owners have no other choice and we have come to rely upon this chain as a bastion of freedom of movement. Filthy floors, too, covered in a 1/3 inch of ammonia slime at 5 pm check in! Peace to everyone everywhere!
CLEVELAND/WILLOUGHBY, OHIO -- Upon arrival there was trash all over outside & a luggage cart full of trash in the hall lobby. The lobby smelled of sewage. The elevator buttons don't work very well. I was in a non-smoking room on 3rd floor but when I got off the elevator it reeked of smoke & marijuana. The maid's cart was in the middle of the hall, the broom was on the floor & a bag of trash in which I had to step over and around at one point, the maids were discussing how they were overworked, had not finished their rooms but had no clean linens or towels. The halls were littered & looked like they hadn't been vacuumed in weeks.
The next morning, I was going to check out early and stay anywhere else but they had since cleaned up & vacuumed the hall's lobby, hall was cleaned up & the trash outdoors. In all my travels & stays at a Motel 6 throughout this country, this was the worst!
OKLAHOMA CITY, OKLAHOMA -- On November 07 my wife and I call the reservation line and requested a room with a queen bed. We were told there was one at the Motel 6 1800 E Reno Oklahoma City. We arrived to find a FULL bed, not a queen. We dealt with this. We decided to check the bed and furniture, a habit we are into now. I attempted to lock our door, only to find the locks would NOT work. Upon more inspection, I found a number of other thing.
A LARGE wet stain on a chair. Dried spit on the carpet. A hole in the wall BY THE SINK, with wiring hanging out. The restroom was so filthy that we had to use our towels to clean it. (they refused to come and clean our room unless we paid EXTRA cleaning charge.) The vent behind the toilet was half hanging off the wall, which fell off later that night striking my wife in the head and leg. In the end, DO NOT GO TO MOTEL 6 ANYWHERE. We WILL be contacting our Attorney over this mess. If you have had similar experiences with this chain email me **. We as consumers should not have to deal with these kind of Companies. Please see the photos.
CHARLESTON, SOUTH CAROLINA -- Around midnight after a 3 day stay, Motel 6 had the police come and escort 3 very nice ladies from their room... All 3 were half asleep and close to tears... I heard something about damage to the room... one of the women said it was damaged before they got there. The police was disgusted with Motel 6 actions and let them take their time packing up. We left the next day and will never again use motel six. What a sad way to treat your customers.
MATTOON, ILLINOIS -- Arrived shortly after 8 pm. My wife and I checked in without a reservation. The manager was courteous and efficient. The room and bathroom were clean as were the linens and towels. We enjoyed our stay. The following morning we noticed the grounds were clean and well maintained as was the motel office and we enjoyed fresh courtesy coffee before departing. I would stay there again without hesitation and would recommend this establishment to others. The motel is #4950 in the Motel 6 chain.

The sleepers. They're the players in the draft that aren't necessarily the best, but they have the potential to be great players in the NHL. They're the players that make their general managers look like a genius.
Brandon Saad was one of those players last year. He wasn't taken until the second round, yet he almost made the NHL full time this past season. Ryan O'Reilly actually completed the feat in 2009.
The 2012 draft has a number of players that could be sleeper picks. That usually happens when there is a small group of players that are sure to be stars and then a steep drop in skill level occurs for the rest of the first round.
Here are eight players who I think will be the biggest sleepers at this Friday and Saturday's draft.

Anthony Rendon is back in the big leagues.
The Washington Nationals' top prospect, according to MLB.com, was called up on June 5 to help provide a spark for the struggling Nationals. Washington is currently 31-32 and in second place in the NL East standings.
Besides Rendon, what other NL East prospects could have a similar impact on their respective clubs in the second half of the MLB season?
Here is a list of five NL East prospects—including Rendon—who can impact the second half of this season. The list includes one prospect from each team, listed with their position, name of their parent club and their rank in MLB.com's 2013 Prospect Watch.
Note: All statistics updated through June 11 courtesy of MLB.com unless noted otherwise.

Michael Gove is a no-nonsense sort of chap, unafraid to shake his fist at the Human Rights Act. In 2011, the Education Secretary vowed to crack down on unruly pupils, whatever Europe said about their rights, and last year he led the cabinet's huffing and puffing when it looked as if Abu Qatada couldn't be deported. So how surprising to learn he is the trustee of a charity dedicated to promoting, er, human rights! The Charity Commission lists Gove as one of only two trustees of something called the European Freedom Fund. The other is the neocon writer and activist Douglas Murray. Their objective is "the promotion of respect for human rights as set out in the European Convention of Human Rights and fundamental freedoms adopted by the members of the council of Europe on 4th November 1950 and the convention's five protocols". This could put Gove in a tricky position when the Tories come to replacing the Human Rights Act with a British Bill of Rights. Still, the EFF hasn't been too busy: no money has gone in or out since it was founded in 2007. Molto strano!

RootsTech 2013: Day 1
On Wednesday morning, following the keynote address, the doors opened and thousands of people came through. All of our computers were in use in a matter of minutes.
Last night's FamilySearch.org annual blogger dinner was informative.
As far as attendance stats, we were told that - as of last evening - some 6,800 people had registered. Last year, a little over 4,000 had come through the exhibit halls. In addition, the group has made a concerted effort to bring in young people. An additional nearly 2,000 young people, ages 12-18, will be here on Saturday. And this isn't even counting the numbers around the world you will see live streaming of a number of great programs during the event.
For the first time, organizers said, viewing centers were set up in six countries as a pilot program which is expected to continue and expand in the future.
We video-recorded interviews with Cindy Howells of Cyndi's List, Dick Eastman, Randy Seaver and DearMyrtle, and hope to being them to you soon.
Stay tuned for our next RootsTech post!

Innovation: What's next?
When was the last time you used a typewriter?
Technology crept into my life when I switched from my beloved black portable manual Remington typewriter to an IBM electric.
Just a few years ago - relatively speaking - personal computers were just appearing on the scene. We researched the old-fashioned way - handwriting letters, loading rolls of film in our cameras, visiting dusty archives and winding through endless rolls of microfilm in resource centers. It took hours of effort to search for family information.
Today we connect in ways we couldn't imagine only a short time ago. We communicate almost instantaneously with email and messaging, and we access ever-expanding Internet resources for family history. Everyone is connected by computer, by smartphone, by technology.
Once upon a time, my tech arsenal consisted of an electric typewriter. Period.

Technology: Staying in touch through the years
There are many ways to stay connected with our family, no matter the distance.
We write e-mails, send letters or speak on the phone. Even with Skype on our computers, many of us still have a land line phone at home to connect with our families locally and worldwide.
Hearing our families' voices brings us closer together, but how were we able to keep in touch before all these technological advances showed up in our homes?
Construction of the first regular phone line was completed in 1877. By the end of 1880, there were 47,900 telephones in the US. Since the first Bell telephone company was established in 1878, phones have evolved from the "candlestick" telephone to rotary-dial and to today's cordless handsets.

2012: A MyHeritage year in review
Now's the time when we look at what we've accomplished over the past 12 months, and plan for the year ahead. It's time for reflection, introspection and preparation.
2012 has been an incredibly exciting year at MyHeritage and, as we stand on the cusp of 2013, here's a quick look at some of the highlights.
We kicked off the year by partnering with Family Tree DNA to introduce DNA testing for genealogy. DNA genetic genealogy testing can help you discover more relatives by comparing your results to a growing database of hundreds of thousands of people.
The results may match you to a living relative with whom you share a common ancestor who may have lived hundreds of years ago.
The results can also reveal ethnic backgrounds, providing more insight into where your ancestors may have lived and thus more clues as to where to search. Continue reading "2012: A MyHeritage year in review" »
Family History Discoveries: Your stories
Many MyHeritage members have made remarkable discoveries through their family history research.
For example, David thought that an entire branch of his family had died in WWII. Through a MyHeritage Smart Match, he discovered that they had survived. Read about how the families were reunited.
Read about Howard who found a long-lost cousin living in his own hometown!
We also helped to reunite half-siblings Ronald and Anneliese.
We publish these stories because we think they're a great way to inspire all of us in our family history research. Who knows what story we'll uncover with the next relative we add to our family tree.
If you're interested in sharing your inspiring story or breakthrough, and having it published in this blog, send it to email@example.com.

It May Be June But Snow Is Expected In The Adirondacks Tonight

Go home Ma Nature ... you're drunk.
New York's the best, but you already knew that.
If you've been watching the 2014 Winter Olympics you may have spotted some exceptional athletes from our very own state of New York.
The unofficial start to Summer wasn't exactly that, was it? Essentially, in the Albany Area, it rained all weekend with the beauty of sun and warm temps setting in on Monday. Of course, that was the last day of our holiday weekend, so yeah- Last weekend was a bust. Let me just say, it could have been a heck of a lot worse.
Recently I was in Lake Placid NY hunting giant alligators when I came across this sign which left me puzzled.
A journey through great New York beer brings us two hours north of the Albany area to Lake Placid, and a very unique beer named for mans best friend.
It was 32 years ago today that the 'Miracle on Ice' took place at the XIII Olympic Winter Games. February 22nd, 1980, the United States Hockey Team pulled off one of the biggest upsets in sports history by defeating the Soviet Union 4-3 at Lake Placid New York.

New release enables service providers to offer hybrid clouds – integrating management of bare metal servers and virtual servers into a single control panel
HostingCon, Austin, TX – June 17, 2013: OnApp has announced OnApp Cloud v3.1, the latest version of the leading cloud platform for service providers. OnApp Cloud v3.1 enables service providers to offer customers true hybrid cloud services, extending their public and private clouds to include dedicated smart servers and bare metal servers, all managed through the OnApp control panel. It also introduces recipes and blueprints: two new ways to automate cloud service provisioning, from tweaking the configuration of a single virtual machine, to deploying ready-to-run application stacks on a mix of dedicated servers and cloud infrastructure.
Together, these features expand the range of services that OnApp Cloud can be used to provide, and bring OnApp's cloud orchestration and management capabilities to more of the datacenter. They enable customers to deploy their apps and data on the best server for the job, dedicated or virtualized; enhance traditional dedicated servers with cloud features like autoscaling and failover; and enable service providers and their customers to manage a mix of public, private, hybrid cloud and dedicated servers through one easy-to-use control panel.
"Service providers have to change from thinking about the cloud as another silo of infrastructure, to thinking about the value of their infrastructure as a whole," said OnApp CEO, Ditlev Bredahl. "With OnApp you can put workloads where it makes sense to put them – on bare metal, on a smart server or in a public or private cloud. You get a single pane of glass into the different services running across your infrastructure, and so do your customers. It's how everyone gets the most out of legacy and cloud hosting."
The highlight features of OnApp Cloud v3.1 include:
- Smart servers: now customers who need dedicated hardware can spin up a smart server on demand through the OnApp Cloud control panel. Just like a traditional dedicated server they have sole use of the physical hardware, but with smart servers they also get the automatic scaling, self-provisioning and automatic failover features of OnApp Cloud. Smart servers have a thin virtualization layer and deploy across the network from a central repository using OnApp Cloud's Cloud Boot capability.
- Bare metal servers, which can now be deployed and managed through OnApp Cloud. Bare metal servers have no virtualization layer: customer apps and databases run straight on the hardware to get maximum performance. In v3.1, OnApp Cloud lets you create and view bare metal servers from the OnApp Cloud control panel.
- Recipes, a new way for cloud providers to automate the process of adding new functionality or server configurations to standard OnApp environments. A recipe is a set of instructions that can be applied automatically to virtual machines, hypervisors, bare metal servers, smart servers and the OnApp control panel at different stages of deployment. You can use recipes to tweak a configuration, install apps and patches or create a complete PaaS or SaaS environment.
- Blueprints, a new feature for VMware clouds running in OnApp. A blueprint is a way to deploy a complete distributed application with a single click - for example, a web server, application server and database server. They make application provisioning fast and error-free, and enable OnApp cloud providers to deploy and redeploy multi-server templates for the first time.
Other additions to OnApp Cloud include provisioning and UI enhancements, and more options for billing based on zones, which service providers can use to group different types of infrastructure for public, private, smart server or bare metal services. OnApp CDN now has the ability to manage multiple CDN edge server locations from a single control panel server.
OnApp Cloud v3.1 is a free upgrade for existing OnApp Cloud customers, and will be available in the summer. Pricing for cloud servers remains the same as the current version of OnApp Cloud, with a monthly fee per core and per cloud. Bare metal servers and smart servers will be priced per server per month. Prices will be announced shortly.

Don't Even Think About Lying
Don't Even Think About Lying fMRI is poised to transform the security industry, the judicial system, and our fundamental notions of privacy. I'm in a lab at Columbia University, where scientists are using the technology to analyze the cognitive differences between truth and lies. By mapping the neural circuits behind deception, researchers are turning fMRI into a new kind of lie detector that's more probing and accurate than the polygraph, the standard lie-detection tool employed by law enforcement and intelligence agencies for nearly a century.

"A fish, a barrel, and a smoking gun" -- ground zero of Web irony, Blog 1.0, the Picassos of the deflating hyperlink, Suck.com rocked. This is their history, as told by the promisingly named Matt Sharkey at keepgoing.org. (Suck's ex-editrix Cox is Wonkette and Terry Colon's art is everywhere. And God knows we could use a good Suck right about now.)
Go Stinky go!!!
Four high school students -- gold chains, fake diamond rings, patchy, adolescent mustaches and sharp brains -- take on MIT and others in a robot competition. They're undocumented Mexican Americans living in trailers and shabby houses in Arizona. They raise only $800 from the community to fund their project, while the MIT team raises $11,000 from corporate donors. They have to scrounge for the "most best tampons" at the last moment to fix a leak in their robot. The other teams snicker at their garishly painted robot when it's unveiled poolside. You know how this is going to end. You know. But it's very satisfying to read nonetheless. (via Amygdala)
Wired still gets teh irony
Breaking News: Pop-up ads suck. Wired has a little op-ed piece about the netizens' extreme dislike of pop-up and pop-under ads. Using such choice quotes as, "A study conducted last year by Dynamic Logic found that almost 80 percent of those surveyed had a 'very negative' opinion of pop-up ads," the author goes on to chastise mainstream sites that still make use of them. Of course, his advice would be taken a great deal more seriously if his column didn't sport a massive pop-up ad for Blockbuster Online.
Revenge of the Right (brain).
Which side of your brain is dominant? (take the test!) Why does it matter? According to Daniel Pink's latest article in Wired, we are moving from the Information Age (which favored the logic of the left brainers) to a new Conceptual Age (which favors the empathy and emotion of the right brainers). Don't get left behind!

Recommendation network
As illustrated by this recent Wired Magazine article, consumer-to-consumer recommendations on the Internet are certainly influencing consumer demand. Goodblock attempts to gather casual friend-to-friend recommendations--from a good baby-friendly Thai restaurant in town to a doggy day care you trust--and collect them in a directory much as del.icio.us collects bookmark recommendations for your friends to peruse. For now, goodblock is in beta and is accessible only by friend invitation and, similar to the friendster model, you can only see your own directory and those of your listed friends.
hilarity ensues
Followup: Wired runs an article called "Fark Sells Out, France Surrenders". Drew Curtis writes a response (note the sycophantic totalfarkers and more annoyed normal-farkers) -- but, as the article says, "when pressed on the issue, Curtis refused to deny that Fark accepts payment for placement of links". Was this really a case of one sales rep getting "a little overenthusiastic"? Is Drew ever actually going to deny selling Fark out, or will he just keep writing non-responses detailing his plans for selling it out even more in the future?

Antique road trip
One of my joys of going on vacation is to get off the interstate and collect a bit of an old historic road. In California over the weekend we managed to grab a bit of Hwy. 1 aka the Pacific Coast Highway past nature preserves, resorts and neighborhoods. Another goal is to do all of U.S. 50, the initial stages of which were reportedly surveyed by George Washington during his tour in the British Army. Wired has a nice article about how a journalist and a photographer ignored the advice of a Federal Highway Administration spokesperson to take a trip down Route 1 from Maine to Florida.

Won't somebody think of the children?
Won't somebody think of the children? Wired News reports that a Mexican company has launched a service to implant RFID verichips (Technology That Cares) into children as an anti-kidnapping device. "The company envisions placing walk-through scanners -- similar to metal-detector portals used in airports -- in malls, bus stations and other areas where a missing child may appear." Similar plans have been proposed before by the UK's Kevin "Captain Cyborg" Warwick, but while his plans to use the mobile phone network are implausible, this method seems more feasible.

"Then we realized that somehow an insane god had taken control of our world and was out to kill us all." Subscribers of the multiplayer online game "Shadowbane" were in for a shock Tuesday evening when they realized the game system had been hacked, and the rules fundamentally altered, and not in a good way (unless you happen to like mayhem). While this ended up being a "no harm, no foul" scenario, as everything was eventually set right, it was breaking new ground in terms of the uses of hacking. In a world where characters in these games are sold via EBay, and nearly half a million people subscribe to Everquest, how long before legitimate (non "fun and games") version of what just happened occurs?

The return of the Movietone? "We fell on this idea of recreating films that looked like and were the length of the old Movietone forms of the 1940s," said Marine Lt. Col. Jim Kuhn, military producer for the undertaking called the Movietone Newsreel Project. Kuhn says the objective is to put together a short film that combines the commentary of real-life soldiers with the kind of footage civilian journalists would be unable to get. (more inside)
How to guide to taking over the country's nuclear secrets
In this exposé a Wired News reporter easily gains access to some sensitive areas of the Los Alamos National Lab, and brings back pictures to prove it. While certainly an embarrassment for a place throwing workshops on homeland security (and doubly so because their seminars started today), is it wise for Wired News to post essentially a how-to guide on breaking into the lab where America's nuclear secrets reside?

Wired just got hit with the ugly stick
The Supreme Court
The Supreme Court begins its term this coming Monday. There are lots of exciting cases on the calendar (99k PDF). For example, Ewing v. California, which will test California's 3 strikes rule. Scheidler v. NOW, which has to do with anti-abortion activists blocking access to clinics. And of course, Eldred v. Ashcroft, where the issue is whether or not the 1998 Sonny Bono Copyright Term Extension Act (PDF) is Constitutional. The last has been mentioned in a couple threads and has gotten loads of web attention, including this new piece from WIRED. A lot to look forward to, whether you're interested in one of the specific issues or you're just an avid armchair justice.
Joyce Slaton takes the blame
Joyce Slaton takes the blame (or some of it) for over-hyped dot com boom reporting (maybe she read this thread). Journalists flog themselves and their inexperienced peers: "There were a lot of lifestyle editors that ended up on the business desk because that's where the pages were being added," says John Battelle, co-founder of Wired and founder and publisher of The Industry Standard."

Microsoft unleashes Palladium, an intrusive doozy of a feature involving specially secure AMD/Intel computer chips and cryptology provided by Microsoft. Newsweek's head-bobbing Steven Levy, the first to get the story, remains taciturn, failing to call into question Microsoft's security sins of the past. Geeks run scared while digital rights and GPL concerns are wholly ignored by the mainstream media. Is this yet another example of a malcontent media that will never possess the balls to actually question a new feature put out by Microsoft? Even Wired can't seem to read between the lines of a technology that "stemmed from early work by engineers to deliver digital movies that couldn't be pirated."

Marines use high tech website in the War on Terror. Very interesting idea. Use the internet instead of the C4 systems that have already been bought...cause it works better. I believe it. With Wired (via Fark) having an article on "The Marines' arsenal of the future is starting to look a whole lot like the shelves at Toys "R" Us.", and another on powered exoskeletons, and yet another that mentions invisibility cloaks, how long before "The War of the Future" is here? What's it going to look like? I can envision a lot more people interested in the armed forces if they get to play with cool toys like this.

Stephen Wolfram
Stephen Wolfram has finished his book, "A New Kind of Science," which purpotedly is being espoused as a paradigm shift in many fields. But, I'm starting to see a very reductionistic attitude in many of the main theorists of complextity theory and emergent phenomena. Is the idea that the Universe is in lines of code a phallus-extension/masculine overdriven idea? Isn't math a man made mapping and can the Universe be reduced to an equation by a man? Still this book is going to be groundbreaking. Read the following exceperpt from the wired.com article: q: "I've got to ask you," I say. "How long do you envision this rule of the universe to be?"
w: "I'm guessing it's really very short."
q: "Like how long?"
w: "I don't know. In Mathematica, for example, perhaps three, four lines of code."

Victim of Sloppy Journalism?
Victim of Sloppy Journalism? Wired News Intern Danit Lidor wrote a sensational, one-sided story about one of Rod Montgomery's employer's customers. Rod was quoted accurately, but he is not WordRecords.com's webmaster, was not responsible for the less-than-swift marketing campaign, and didn't know the context of Lidor's question at the time.
Lidor's sloppy journalism implies that Rod and his employer are spam-generators, when this is very far from the truth.
What would you do if you were misquoted or misrepresented in an article printed in a large Internet news site? Should Lidor post a formal retraction?

So it seems the age-old dream of historians and poets everywhere(Jorge Luís Borges comes to mind)will have to wait a bit longer... I wonder, though, if Egypt's ever-stricter censorship laws and practices will ever be compatible with a true, universal library such as, by most accounts, the original Alexandria Library was.[Via Nutcote]

Literary lynching, the practice of attacking authors who make statements against the U.S. government or engage in dissent, gets a comprehensive overview with a book in progress. As 72 year old author Dorothy Bryant puts it, "More than ever, we need free exchange of facts and opinions. I hope that looking back on a few cases that have had time to cool off will help us to understand the psychology of literary lynching, and to resist it — not only in others but in ourselves." But in today's world, is there any distinction between a thoughtful response and a downright ugly rejoinder anymore? (via Moby Lives)

Type: Event | Date: Tuesday, Nov 3, 2009The 1987 National Football League players' strike inspired this sports-themed comedy. The Washington Sentinels are one of the strongest teams in pro football -- until contract negotiations break down and the Sentinels go on strike. Determined to play the team's schedule, owner Edward O'Neil (Jack Warden) recruits a ragtag band of scab players, to be headed up and whipped into shape by the retired veteran coach Jimmy McGinty (Gene Hackman). At the top of the recruitment list is quarterback Shane Falco (Keanu Reeves), a promising athlete until a catastrophic defeat in the Sugar Bowl dashed his confidence. Joining Falco on the team are Clifford Franklin (Orlando Jones), a receiver who can't catch the ball; Nigel Gruff (Rhys Ifans), a chain-smoking Welsh soccer player; Bateman (Jon Favreau), a former cop with anger management problems; Fumiko (Ace Yonamine), a sumo wrestler new to football; and Wilkinson (Michael Jace), a convict on parole to the Sentinels. Can McGinty mold his new squad of misfits and no-hopers (who truly love the game) into a winning team? Brooke Langton plays Annabelle, head of the Sentinels' cheerleading squad (who has to contend with replacements of her own), and football commentators John Madden and Pat Summerall appear as themselves. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

BEIJING — China expressed concern on Monday after Japan unveiled plans to boost the number of its military personnel, as a bitter territorial dispute between the two countries drags on.
Japan's Defense Minister Itsunori Onodera said on Sunday the government would increase the number of personnel, now standing at about 225,000, by 287 in the next fiscal year starting in April, the biggest rise in two decades. The figure represents an expansion of about 0.1 percent.
Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Hong Lei said Japan should pay greater attention to regional concerns, alluding to Japan's at times brutal behavior during World War Two which China considers Japan has not done enough to atone for.
"Due to historical reasons, Japan's neighboring countries pay great attention to its military developments," Hong told a daily news briefing.
"We hope that Japan pursues a path of peaceful development, respects the concerns of countries in the region, take history as a mirror and does more to benefit regional peace and stability," he added.
China and Japan are engaged in an increasingly hostile dispute over a group of uninhabited islands in the East China Sea.
Both sides sought to cool tension last week, with Chinese Communist Party chief Xi Jinping telling an envoy from Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe that he was committed to developing bilateral ties.
China's own military advances have rattled the region, including developing stealth fighters and launching the country's first aircraft carrier.
On Sunday, the government said it had again tested emerging military technology aimed at destroying missiles in mid-air.
Shouldn't pull the tiger's tail in the first place. Money alone cannot buy everything.
Oh please, they are concerned that there might be a country on their doorstep they can't just trample all over whenever they like, they don't like the fact that Japan has much better quality than their quantity.
Absolutely. China is now trying to bully all of us. Flying their jet fighters over the coastal areas of Japan but complaining when Japan is trying add up a few hundreds of soldiers into the Defense Department. Is it a big deal for China? Down with communism, China.
It is easy to get overconfident and plunge into expensive mistake. China, with global resistence toward their exploitation of natural resources from many places, will come to a screeching halt

Service club sees beauty, poverty of island nation
A group of local teenagers shared stories, observations and images from a trip promoting "service above self" at the Tunica Rotary Club on Thursday, Sept. 19.
The Tunica Academy Interact Club traveled to the Dominican Republic in the summer of 2013 to provide water filters for citizens and help with the construction of a local hospital.
Rotary Club liaison Wes Ryals, who also traveled with the group, previously reported that they found "a desperate living situation" in the country.
Club sponsor Abbey Turner echoed Ryals' remarks, saying that local water could not be consumed.
"We played cards at night and joked that the loser would have to brush their teeth with the water," Turner said.

Hyundai Elantra owners have reported 39 problems related to brake light on (under the service brakes category).
The contact owns a 2006 Hyundai Elantra. While driving in the rain and depressing the brake pedal, the brakes failed to respond. Also, the contact heard a clunking noise when the pedal was depressed. The contact noticed that the brake light housing was melted. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. The manufacturer was not notified. The VIN was not included in NHTSA campaign number: 09v280000 (exterior lighting). The failure mileage was 163,468.
See all problems of the 2006 Hyundai Elantra.
The brake switch had to replaced twice within a few months. The three rear brake lights were not working. This was a common repair on other model years of the Hyundai Elantra. 2007 should be included in the existing recall. (recall campaigns 110 and 113. ).
See all problems of the 2007 Hyundai Elantra.
Emergency brake handle is loose. Randomly while driving the ebrake light comes on the dashboard. To make the light go away, I have to tap the brake down. The lever handle is loose and shakes when I am driving. This could be a dangerous situation. This happens daily. This started happening a few months ago.
See all problems of the 2009 Hyundai Elantra.
The Hyundai Elantra has an intermittent starting problem. This problem is hard to duplicate. The solution requires various attempts at trying the start switch along with the movement of shift lever. This becomes a safety problem since it requires numerous attempts to move shift lever from park to neutral position. When attempting to start vehicle after a number of times the power brakes take extreme pressure to control the vehicle from moving. At times, the shift lever will not move properly out of the park position and still not start. This has happened numerous times. The local Hyundai service warned me if problem cannot be duplicated owners are responsible for diagnostic and service costs that would likely be $200 or more. On one occasion the car was parked in my garage for about a week along with daily attempts at trying to start the car did not start the engine. Finally it started and did not have problems during the complete summer, but once the temperature has been below 40-50 degrees f problems occurred. I am very leery at allowing other family members to operate vehicle since some may have difficulty in applying the large amount of braking force to stop vehicle from moving on an incline when attempting to start vehicle. I reviewed the service bulletin no. : TSB-12-at-022-1 on Hyundai Elantra and kia recall NHTSA campaign number: 13v114000 . Note many kias and Hyundai vehicles are similar in parts and function. After reading the NHTSA campaign number: 13v114000 about kia, I did recall incidents of intermittent failing of brake lights and intermittent esc light malfunction.

Tl- the contact owns a 2009 Hyundai Elantra. The contact stated that the brake lights failed to illuminate when applied and there was a progressing failure in which the gear would not shift out of park to change over into another gear. The dealer stated that the vehicle was included in NHTSA campaign number: 13v113000 (exterior lighting , service brakes, hydraulic) but the part was not replaced. The dealer was notified by the manufacturer that the repair was completed by another dealer in a different state. Due to the manufacturer the contact had the dealer replace the stop lamp switch. The vehicle was repaired but not under the manufacturers recall. The approximate failure mileage was not available. Dyd.
Left tail/brake light is malfunctioning. When the headlights are on, the tail light is on; however, that same light is also the brake light, and when the brake is applied, the light will not illuminate.

Brake switch bad, no brake lights. Occasionally, it would keep the car from starting. Had to replace at my expense as Hyundai said my car was not one of the recalls for the bad brake switch.
When driving home another vehicle pulled beside my wife and indicated that when slowing down for the traffic light none of her brake lights were operational. Upon my wife arriving at home I had all the fuses tested and replaced, had bulbs replaced, but still no brake lights on the rear of car including the rear window brake light. Contacted Hyundai and indicated that there was a NHTSA recall #13v113000/campaign #110 in regards to exterior lighting:brake lights:switch. Hyundai refused to acknowledge the recall for my vehicle indicating that my VIN manufacture date of mid-2006 eliminated my vehicle from the recall. I informed Hyundai that a 2007 model car had to be manufactured in 2006. The case manager, joe of Hyundai (refused to give last name) gave me case number 7744883 and informed me that Hyundai would not repair the car or honor the recall because of the production date. None of the web sites I investigated in regards to this recall indicate that a vehicle must meet a specific production date, only the model year, which mine does 2007 Hyundai Elantra. Hyundai does not indicate anywhere in public documentation in regards to recalls that vehicles must meet specific production criteria. Hyundai has denied my request to repair the specific part involved in the recall, the brake light switch, and joe informed me that he was not willing to entertain reviewing any of my documentation involving this recall.
The contact owns a 2008 Hyundai Elantra. The contact stated that while parked, the emergency brake fractured and the brake warning light illuminated. The failure recurred multiple times. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure . The failure mileage was 98,443.
See all problems of the 2008 Hyundai Elantra.
The contact owns a 2007 Hyundai Elantra. The contact stated that while driving at approximately 10 mph engaging the brakes, the brake lights failed to illuminate. The vehicle was taken to a dealer and was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 107,000.
Took Hyundai Elantra for recall repair in 2011, one of the repairs scheduled was the stop lamp switch. Was approached in traffic yesterday by a helpful, concerned driver who said the brake lights were not coming on. Grateful for that person, who may have saved our lives. Not grateful to the dealer who offered zero assistance - only an overpriced diagnostic fee plus standard parts and labor cost. This was after I had already determined the switch was the exact problem. Rather than fork over $120 for an unnecessary diagnosis, I bought the part elsewhere for $12 and installed it in no time, with a little help from an 11yr old. Bottom line: the stop lamp switch not working in 2014 after a 2011 recall service means either 1) burns Hyundai in marlton NJ didn't actually replace the switch they said they replaced or 2) they feel ok about putting customers at risk of death by installing a critical part that only lasts 3 years. Neither situation is ethical.
My vehicle is experiencing the same is as the Hyundai recall campaign 110. My car was manufacture before the dates in the campaign by approximately 5 months but falls in the same model year as other cars in the campaign. . Read more...
My car when I tried to break on the highway starting pulling to the right and when I let off the break it corrects back. I took it to the dealer and they said it was the brake caliper and brake hose. . . My brother is an auto mechanic for Lexus and decided to look into it further and it is actually the brake actuator where the brake fluid isn't even getting to the caliper. I am afraid to drive the car. This is a huge safety concern for me. And I don't see where this is recalled by huyndai? and, the brake light isn't on telling me there is an issue in the abs system?????? has anyone else experienced this problem?.
When I arrived home that night I thought I had left my lights on because my brake lights remained on. I checked my light switch and all my lights were off except for my brake lights. I looked up on the internet to see if there was any way to fix it and I found the recall on this particular item.
See all problems of the 2005 Hyundai Elantra.
Brake lights are not functioning. This model was subject to a recall for a faulty brake light switch but the Hyundai informs me mine is not included. I suspect it may be the same issue.
No brake lights, stop lamp switch was fauliy.
Hyundai recently had a recall on brake light switches. Unfortunately this applies to the 2007 Elantra and I have the 2006. My brake lights were completely out. After checking the fuses and the bulbs I realized it was the recently recalled faulty brake like switch to blame. $155 later it's repaired. They really need to include other years and models on this recall, and should be paying for this repair. I have seen numerous other complaints online from other consumers with similar issues. Someone could have rear ended me and I could have died had someone not told me my brake lights were out.
The contact owns a 2008 Hyundai Elantra. The contact stated that the brake light was continuously burning out. The contact mentioned that the vehicle was previously repaired under recall NHTSA campaign number: 13v113000 (exterior lighting , service brakes, hydraulic). The vehicle was taken to the dealer. The technician verified the failure and replaced the brake lamp. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 20,000 and the current mileage was 30,000.
My vehicle previously failed a state safety inspection for failed brake lights just several months after purchase (October 2010). Just prior to this failed inspection, I'd noticed that the "esc off" light on the dash would turn on unexpectedly. My local Hyundai dealership repaired the brake light switch, which also remedied the "esc off" light issue. Just over a month ago, the "esc off" light on the dash again began to turn on without reason. A few days ago, while merging onto an interstate near my home, a vehicle behind mine barely avoided an accident with me when I had to suddenly slow to make a merge. The driver kindly alerted me that he did not notice any brake lights when I suddenly stopped. So, it seems as if I am again going to have to have the brake light switch, which has already been a known problem in a number of Hyundai vehicles, repaired.

Car following me notified me that the brake lights were not working on my 2008 Hyundai Elantra. Stop lamp fuse iwas checked and was good as well as both rear stop lamp bulbs. I inspected the brake lamp switch near the brake and found it to stuck in the off position. After pressing the switch several times the switch worked for a few times and then stuck in the on position. I called Hyundai customer care and was told that 2008 Elantra's were not covered by their recall for this problem and they would pay for repair.
On 02/12/2013 I observed the brakes lights on my 2008 Hyundai Elantra to be out. I checked the fuses, all were good. A private mechanic checked and stated the stop light switch was bad and would need to be replaced.
Brake lights are not iluminating all the time when brake pedal is depressed, for the past week they only work for a minute or not work at all. Went 2 times to the dealer before, twice they were working when I arrived, since last week they are not working except for a minute. I have 2 months with the problem I work 7 days a week and cannot keep taking time off. I was told that my specific model year Elantra 2006 is not cover by the recall, just to inspect them cost $ 120, if a problem is found parts and labor. Hyundai doesn't accept any responsibility. The car has 50'000 miles.
Brake light switch malfunction resulted in brake light failure. Part number 93810-3k000. This part has been recalled in puerto rico only, but failure of this part may indicate a more geographically widespread problem. This vehicle was purchased in hawaii.
While driving my vehicle I was told my another motorist that my brake lights were not working. I checked the fuse and the bulbs. I looked up on line and seen that there was a recall on Hyundai vehicles due to the stop lamp switch problem. I called Hyundai and they said my VIN number was not part of their recall campaign.
A friend driving behind me noticed my brake lights not working when approaching a red light. When we parked we tested them and none of the rear brake lights work. I do not know how long my brake lights have not been working but it is a major safety issue considering I drive in rush hour traffic in a city daily. There is currently a recall (campaign 09v122000) that I would have expected to include the 2007 Hyundai Elantra that I drive, but it appears that my particular VIN is not included (yet). I am also bothered that I had to do all this research. When the car dealership and the Hyundai customer service entered my VIN, this recall doesn't even show up as a possible inclusion. I understand my vehicle was not part of the recall but considering other vehicles of my make, model, and year are susceptible to this particular recall, I would have hoped that it would red flag other vehicles that could be susceptible. Or at the very least, when a recall does occur, other owners of similar vehicles should be informed in an effort for those owners to watch out for the safety issues that may arise.
