Florida Gators coach Will Muschamp met with a few reporters in a hotel room here in the moments before the start of SEC Media Days, and he wasted no time in firing a salvo at the man who used to sit in his chair: Urban Meyer.
It's been reported that Meyer, now at Ohio State, turned in his old school for two secondary recruiting violations. Meyer denied it; Muschamp confirmed it:
"In both situations we were turned in by Ohio," he said. "We didn't do anything wrong. The University of Florida didn't do anything wrong. And so we appreciated our friends from Ohio making sure we're compliant with NCAA rules. They certainly know a little bit about that subject."
It's not just on the field issues.
Meyer seemed to flee responsibility earlier this month when he was asked about Hernandez. "I'm not going to talk about that,†he said. Meyer later spoke more about Hernandez and his efforts to help him (which were not insignificant), but by then the list of scofflaws he coached in Gainesville had been pinged around social media for days. Nobody in Gator Country has rushed to Meyer's defense.
"You can't stick your head in the sand and pretend everything's OK,†Muschamp said Tuesday. He didn't say Meyer stuck his head in the sand, but the insinuation is clear: the spiral of misbehavior only got worse until Muschamp showed up and altered the culture.
Halapio said Tuesday that team rules are more or less the same under "Coach Boom.†He listed "no stealing,†"no hitting girls,†and "being respectful to everybody†as themes Muschamp has reinforced. He even said Muschamp tells players to look everyone in the eye when shaking their hand. It's not fair or appropriate to say Meyer paid no attention to off-the-field behavior, yet more than one Gator commented to Yahoo! Sports last year about how things started to slide during the waning months of Meyer's tenure at Florida.
"Toward the end of Coach Meyer's time here, a lot of guys were out for themselves,†defensive lineman Omar Hunter said. "Not buying into the team concept. He was out for himself, so they thought the same thing.
"A lot of things were sliding. Guys were showing up late to practice and workouts. Guys were supposed to be back on Sunday and didn't get back until Monday. There was no discipline."

Glenn Beck closed out his radio program yesterday with a 10-minute monologue warning his audience that everything that is happening in Baltimore and Ferguson and elsewhere is all a giant set-up, designed to create instability so that the federal government can take control of police departments all over the nation ... but nobody will listen to him.
"We're being set up, guys. We are absolutely being set up," Beck said. "And I don't know — this is what I pray every night: 'I don't know how to do this, Lord. I don't know what you want. I don't know — I don't know what you want.' I can't wake up anyone. Oh, if I had the voice of an angel. I can't wake anybody else up. They've smeared me. I've helped them smear me. I don't have any credibility. Nobody is listening. I can tell you what's coming. I've told you every step of the way. I know what's coming next."
Linking a recent statement from Al Sharprton to an intentional misrepresentation of President Obama's 2008 statement about creating a civilian security force, Beck warned that the federal government is arming local police departments with military equipment in preparation for taking them over while "grassroots" agitators are being brought in to create civil unrest in major cities for the purpose of providing an excuse for the government to do just that.
"This is the biggest show ever," he warned. "That's all that's happening right now. This is a show. We're watching a script and a play play out in front of us. None of this stuff is real. Those riots in Baltimore. That wasn't real ... At some point, there will be a straw that breaks the camel's back, and it will set the whole country on fire. And what happens? We will cry out for police help. The police will be overwhelmed. The DOJ will say, 'We're going to take over policing, we'll coordinate it from here.' And you're done. It's lights out, republic."
"That's what's coming," Beck said. "That's what's coming":
Amazingly, Beck wasn't done, as he then went on to implore his audience to prepare for the day when Beck and people like him are murdered in the night in order to silence their voices.
"If you look back at history, what happens to people who have voices and can cobble together people and be a leader?" he asked. "If you go back to what happened with the Armenian genocide, what is the first thing the Turks did? What is the first thing the Nazis did? You have a Night of Long Knives. The Armenian genocide. Any of the Armenians that could lead, any mayor, any writer, any person that was a hero in war, in one day, in each city, they would kill about 1,000 people. They'd just slaughter them. And they were all the leaders of the community. Anyone that people would rally around and follow. They were killed, day one. They just disappear, or they're killed."
"There are 10 million people that listen to this show. They cannot kill 10 million people in one night. You were born for a reason, and you're listening to this show for a reason," Beck stated. "Prepare for a time when voices like mine or others are no longer heard and yours is the only voice."
Seemingly surprised by what he just spent the last 10 minutes saying, Beck finally fell silent before declaring "I can't believe I just said all of that."

Need to have a menu for a restaurant created. I will provide you with several elements I like food shots, colors, fonts, etc. You will need to put the menu together in a format that keeps the same look and feel for this restaurant.
You will NOT have to create it from scratch (nothing) - I have a similar menu done in PhotoShop already, so this should be relatively easy. Mainly, you'll add new menu items and rearrange the existing menu

Wrapping up the Digital Natives conference there was a huge brainstorming session in which people worked together (just as if they were DNs themselves!) to come up with some great ideas to get started on. The presenters recapped what went on, and I chose to spend my time highlighting the theme of gaming in libraries. There were a number of edu-gaming links in my aggregator this morning that really came in handy. They mostly came out of the NECC I'm pretty sure, and in particular from Tim Lauer's site. So, here are some games with great potential:
Dimenxian – Learn Math or Die Trying. Homework just got Hard
PeaceMaker – Be the Prime Minister of Israel or Palestinian President
Disaffected – Be a Kinko's employee
Darfur is Dying – Prevent genocide
Food Force – Prevent hunger
Peter the Packet – Play the role of a packet of data on the web.

What are you most proud of? I really enjoyed working on a large appliqu piece. Bringing all those chickens to life was amusing as they each developed a personality. It's all in the eyes. The quilt was fun and whimsical and is used as a wallhanging at the cottage.
MarleneC> Something must have gone wrong. Things do get lost in the mail from time to time. Maybe try to contact Ms. Cramerer and let her know you never received it? I just ordered from her after reading the post above where she offered it for sale and figured if I didn't get it, I'd only be out $12. We sent payment to her last week Monday or Tuesday and I received my full size pattern in today's mail. It came with a color copy of what the quilt should look like as well as two pages of detailed instructions.
Not only did Marlene C get her pattern but i also gave her a full refund for her inconvenience. She lives in Alaska and lesson is that mail is really slow there lol
Ahhh... Alaska, the other quilter never mentioned that's where she lived. Yes, the mail can be very slow to and from AK and even more so when one resides in a remote area served only by boat or small aircraft. We take our roads and decent mail service for granted in the lower 48. Good to know that MarleneC's pattern did end up with a "quilter" after all... her. ;)
I have lost the pattern/directions for The Early Bird Quilt - can you supply the company, contact and or address where I can purchase?
thanks Betsy

We Walk #1: FB Lee Ward [#36]
The Bootleg is proud to reprise last year's popular "We Walk" series profiling Stanford's high-caliber 2010 walk-ons, focusing our attention this time on true freshman fullback Lee Ward (#36), a two-time all-state linebacker and decorated running back from Missouri who has already made a formidable impression on the Cardinal coaching staff during his initial fall camp on the Farm.
It doesn't take long to get acquainted with Lee Ward's football personality.
Ward, a hard-nosed fullback from Parkway Central High School in Missouri, is no fan of gimmicky passing offenses that have become increasingly popular in major college football over the past few years. If it were up to him, heads would knock and holes would open for running backs on most every play.
"Other teams don't really play 'real football'," Ward said. "They're just going to pass the ball, pass the ball, that's not football. Football is hitting someone in the mouth every play and running the ball. And mixing in passing, obviously, but you have to be able to run the ball."
The success Stanford enjoyed last year running that kind of offense was a big reason why he decided to attend Stanford over offers from most of the Ivy League, Colorado State, Arkansas State, Eastern Illinois, and a smattering of other walk-on opportunities.
Ward was originally committed to the University of Pennsylvania, but the opportunity to play smash-mouth football and possibly earn a scholarship was too much to pass up.
"I originally committed to Penn, but then Stanford came back in and said 'we're not very full on fullbacks and we're not taking one for this cycle so you could probably earn a scholarship coming out here'," Ward said. "So I was like, 'That would be a good opportunity', so I switched my commitment."
So far, it seems like Ward made the right choice. He's received plenty of hype as a possible candidate to succeed senior standout Owen Marecic at fullback, with coach Jim Harbaugh recently telling the media that there is "no question" Ward will see the field sometime in his Stanford career.
Although Ward denies he pays any attention to those whispers, he appreciates the opportunity to learn from Marecic, a player Ward calls "the best college fullback in the nation".
"He's really showed me a lot on blocking technique and driving through a person and getting low and showing me how I can be the best by exploding through someone on contact," Ward said.
Marecic has helped Ward adjust to the competitiveness of a Pac-10 practice.
"It's a lot different than high school, obviously," Ward said. "It's a lot more competitive. Every day you have to come out 100% unlike high school where you could 'cruise' on a few days. That's the only way you'll get a fair look."
A 'fair look' is not something Ward felt he received from colleges during the recruiting process. Most schools were recruiting him primarily as a linebacker, the position he focused on during his junior year. But in part because he didn't have prototypical linebacker size, Ward generated only limited interest at that position.
"I felt a lot of the big-time schools overlooked me," Ward said. "For many of those programs, I was listed only as a linebacker. I think that's what got me down - just because I'm not as tall as the 'ideal' linebacker. I'm 6-0 at best, so they kind of overlooked me."
During his senior year, Ward focused more on running the ball and enjoyed a fair amount of success punishing opposing defenses with his physical running style.
"In my junior year in high school I played running back, but that wasn't my main focus until my senior year when I had 1,500 yards and six touchdowns. I didn't even send out senior tape," Ward said.
Nevertheless, the Stanford coaches liked enough of what they saw to offer Ward a chance to make the Cardinal football team. Former defensive coordinator and current Director of Player Development Ron Lynn made a visit to Ward's school his junior year of high school and the two sides stayed in contact until Ward made a commitment to Stanford in March of 2010.
Growing up, Ward didn't envision himself playing his college ball on the West Coast. Ward's father David is a graduate of Notre Dame, his older sister Justine is a current Notre Dame undergraduate, and the younger Ward admits he envisioned suiting up in South Bend.
"That's always where I thought I would be playing, growing up, but obviously it didn't work out," Ward said.
Suffice it to say, Ward's erstwhile Irish allegiance will be shoved unceremoniously to the side when Notre Dame and Stanford meet up in seasons to come.
"I was always pretty much a Notre Dame fan, just because that's where my dad went. But not anymore!" Ward said.

Professional/Consultant - Live in Denver, now for about 10 years. Grew up and went to college in the Midwest. Into sports, golf, skiing, hiking, history, writing, and, clearly, the occasional smoke.
In the middle of the woods about 20 miles north of Eau Claire, Wisconsin. Last weekend of my freshman year of college. At night, hiking out to this big open field and no one was around for miles. Everyone else had smoked many times before - so I'm sure I was entertaining. I was certainly entertained. And, hooked. Got more hooked after chemo. Got legal in January 2011.
(Authors Note: You'll notice if you've read my other reviews that I do not give specific letter grades by point. As you read this, I'll let you form your own conclusions as to why.)
I got home on a Sunday night after a long day of skiing in January. Got my mail, and saw that it had finally arrived. By it, I'm referring to the very highly anticipated moment of becoming a law-abiding, clinical user of marijuana. And, I'd have to wait one more day to go make my first visit to a MMJ dispensary because they close at 7pm. I was very excited to go, but I also was in a position to contain my excitement. And, I figured this may be as close as I can get to the night before Christmas. On the plus side, it gave me a chance to do some research. I have been intrigued by the idea of edibles for a long time. Hmm... Google search: "Best edibles in Denver". Winner! Ganja Gourmet. Nice website. Cool menu. A really good list of different strains, with pictures. The staff looks happy in the picture and made it fairly obvious by their demeanor why they were - and I'm not talking about tie-dye shirts, I can assure you that. Cool. I'm absolutely down. Weed pizza. Weed lasagna. Free cookies. Lots of sweets. And herb. And, happy staff.
So, we'll skip to 5:30pm, Monday, January 31st. 2011. A date, I actually just realize as I write this, that has a huge significance. For a startlingly multiple number of reasons. Wow. (The lesson there is that you realize a lot of things as you try to communicate your thoughts to others in a written form - and get to edit. Go figure.)
Ah-ight. It's a cold winter night. Big snow storm. Denver drivers, singularly ill-equipped. But, I somehow managed to get turned around in a traffic jam on Broadway, and found a nice parking spot at the Hookah Bar. Habibi? Can't remember. I'll edit this later. I turn the corner, and I'm walking in. Small, classic old school Denver building. The type that's been here for a while. Nice. I have read up a bit on this place. Ganja Gourmet has been around for a while. It is well known. I missed its hay-day, when it could serve like a restaurant. And, a coffee shop. I can only imagine what kind of an intersection of different awesome people that must have been. I can't speak to it - I didn't get to see it. I bet it was cool.
My suspicion is that Ganja Gourmet is a classic victim of a rule change. One that has merit, but at the same time does not. The market changed. Now, you don't have a good chunk of your niche - but yet, you clearly still have an awesome niche. Take the rule change as nature, accept it, new rules of the game. They did it well in my book. I love Ganja Gourmet. I love the food. I eat it extremely rarely. My favorite entree is the veggie pizza ($12/slice). Their cooking instructions for frozen pizza are not correct, go lower and (much) slower, and the hit it with the broiler at the end. You've got to balance cooking versus browning. It's a good slice - lots of good veggies. Quality ingredients so far as I could tell. I can't say that I love that it's frozen. I love the Ganja Cookies - which consist of chocolate, butterscotch (my favorite sweet), and dried orange peel. BRILLIANT! At one time, you got one just for coming in. Which, is pretty cool. And, pretty smart. They throw it in now too, but now you actually have to make a purchase. If you made one anyway, it's a nice perk that keeps you coming back. If you walk in, take a look around, say: "Free Cookie", get one, bounce... Well, you're SOL. Good call. And, to the latter example - Good luck.
The staff is cool. This is a dispensary that I would imagine has a lot of regulars. I would imagine it has a ton of first timers. This is also a dispensary that has its stars on the staff, particularly because they stand out in the field here. Some of the service... eh. I'll give you the benefit of the doubt, but I'd prefer not to have to.
Would I buy bud here? I'll let you determine that for yourself. Do the edibles keep me coming back enough? Apparently. I really like to grab a slice of pizza on Saturday night before skiing Sunday, and I usually get two other edibles that get me to $25 - which then gets me a free cookie. So, slice of pizza + three edibles for about $28 out the door. That sets you up nice for Sunday - regardless of your medication preferences. Why would you do that? Edibles cut down on smoking, and work nicely for extended physical activity. Or, healing in the aftermath.
So, check it out. If you are new to the game, definitely check it out. Then, check a bunch of other places out. You'll come to your own conclusions. But, having seen a few places and having a TON of options, I will always stop by every month or two. It will always be my first.

It seems like most people familiar with the Denver MMJ scene have heard of The Clinic. Featured on CNBC, award-winning bud, multiple locations accessible to the core of Denver's affluent and progressive (yet affluent - so, we probably should call it pragmatic) core. Look around - you've got the range of 20 somethings in their post CU, DU, Metro, CSU years - and the 20 somethings who moved here (from the Midwest? Big Ten school?) - and late 20 somethings and 30 somethings who are making some money and can indulge with MMJ like they are buying nice wine or (gasp!) shopping regularly at Whole Foods and Sunflower because they started to figure out that you literally ARE what you eat (and, smoke... ), and quality is worth the investment - and you've got the 30 to 60 (I've seen 70, too) somethings of Park Hill, Cherry Creek, U-Hills, DU, Wash Park, Cap Hill, and (gasp!) Cherry Hills, Cherry Creek North, Belcaro, the NICE parts of Cap Hill, Congress Park, Park Hill. It is the core of progressive (er, pragmatic) Colorado. ... This is the sort of place where you could conceivably run into your parents or their significant other. Or, your kid. This is the potential customer base to become the Trader Joe's of MMJ. I'll be interested to see if they can capitalize on it.
PLUS: Excellent (A+) selection of $12 a gram (mix and match, A+) - $40 an 1/8th MMJ - which is consistently good quality. Member prices. Several strains have been recognized (GGB, being the most well-known). Good options across the board for indica, sativa, hybrids - also, edibles, concentrates (I have not tried their Banana Kush Caviar - $30 a gram - but it looks amazing). I've purchased several of their white logo lighters, which subsequently disappear at my regular Tuesday night poker game. I'm not sure how WeedMaps work, but I would happily recommend a large variety of their strains. I literally have 8 in front of me now - again, the beauty of their generous gram by gram prices (A+). The overall bud quality (A-) is balanced by the price. Yes. There is better bud. However... At $12 a gram, especially with the ability to get variety by gram by gram purchases (A++), it makes up for it. I have had some bomb herb - but it's $50 an 1/8th... and funny, somehow $56 after tax. Also, The Clinic has a buy eight, get one (1/8th) free on $40+ purchases. That's basically $5 off of every $40+ if you buy eight times. I recommend buying 4 grams or 3 grams and an edible. Keep your punch card. The Clinic, you should put this in your computer so that I don't have to carry a punch-card (B-), especially if you are someone's care-giver (D).
PLUS: Staff. Very nice (A+) bunch of folks. Generally a younger (24-28ish +/-) crew. Mix of men and women. Clearly smart and easy going. They don't strike you as burn outs. They are the above-listed group of Denverites, just like the clientele. They've got a good knowledge, and seem to have a good understanding of what's good. They tend to have a fairly conventional way of discussing types and effects (A-/ or B+, at times). I'm definitely one for a detailed analysis of effects. HOW does it hit you, body, mind, feeling, etc. Words like strong, not strong, harsh, sweet-smelling, ect. ... eh. Kinda vague. Over-reliance of Full-Spectrum analysis. It's like boiling wine or good beer down to alcohol content. Not (necessarily) a good indicator of quality. BUT! This is my critique of 99% of the people I've dealt with at any level when it comes to MMJ, so before I go too negative, I will add that they always give you the best buds available, they weigh it out in front of you, and they don't skimp. They don't seem to push their lower quality product as some dispensaries will do. Which is smart, considering they deal with a relatively sophisticated customer base. They are happy to let you smell stuff, and talk through a bunch of options, and don't seem to have EVER minded gram by gram purchases when I've done it. Which is frequently. I've been to places where they can act like you're doing them a favor. To me, that earns my business (A+). They are a professional crew.
PLUS, or MINUS: Mainly plus. Fairly sterile environment - which is anonymous, and professional. Not really a "Lifestyle" or "Destination" dispensary. Kinda like a ... clinic. Go figure. People don't hang out. But, I've never felt rushed. I feel like when I go in, I've never had the inclination to look at another customer and shake my head. It's all regular, normal people. I'm usually in a suit. There's an old guy in a nice cardigan, career women, 25-35 men/women who are making good money but not super ambitious or pretentious (good ole' Denver). 20-28 guys who aren't personally affluent yet - their parents are, though. Younger members of the stoner-chique, in all their forms. It's not a place to hang out, and it doesn't really foster interaction with other clientele - but you get plenty with your tender. That is very friendly and professional, but it fails to really engage on the philosophical level. Clinical. I'll mention, I do like that they've got The CannaBible and Books of Bud out on the coffee table. It's never a long wait, but that gets me super excited to try new things. They have those damn full spectrum lab sheets, though. (A- for honesty, B- for being raw data that can be misleading).
PLUS: Really good location. Close to everything. They have two - I've only been to the Holly location. Discrete shopping mall. They are right next to a pizza place, which I will add has EXCELLENT by the slice pizza. I go on my lunch break, get a gram or two (never smoke till later), and get a slice. Then hit up Best Buy, Barnes and Noble, Target, gas, dry-cleaning, etc., and you've got yourself a pretty productive hour lunch break.
OVERALL: A+ Perfect execution for MMJ in 2011. This dispensary is laying the groundwork for the future - which is the group of people who make The Clinic their home for MMJ purchases. I remarked to a successful friend of mine who is thinking of running for office that if (reasonable) people could observe one hour of business at The Clinic, they would have a completely different perception of MMJ. This is not the fringe. This is the model. This is the essence of Denver, Colorado. The product is consistently good at a good price. You won't find killer, but the price makes up for it many times over. I suppose I'll end with the best thing that can be said about any business transaction - the value is fair, I never have to second guess it, and I always enjoy transacting my business at The Clinic. If you are looking for what I've described, then you should be happy with your choice.
Feedback like this is great, thanks so much for taking the time to give us an in-depth review. Next time you are in let us know and we will provide you with a thank you gift.
Thanks again!

Another week of professional wrestling has ended and it was quite a good week!
WWE Monday Night Raw continued to be lackluster, though. The show started out strong, but things went downhill as the night went on.
TNA Impact Wrestling delivered a very good and solid episode. Featuring a number of good matches and segments, TNA bounced back big time after last week's episode.
Ring of Honor's June 23 episode of ROH Wrestling was a good show. Featuring three good matches, ROH continues to impress me.
WWE Friday Night SmackDown continues to be my favorite WWE show as they delivered another solid episode. At this rate, SmackDown will definitely be the "Show of the Year" in terms of WWE, and possibly even in the business as a whole.
When it comes to "Show of the Week," I want you, the readers to once again decide. Check out this poll to vote on what you thought was the best show this week. The results of last week's poll will be revealed at the end.
Included once again are WWE NXT and Superstars, which will start to get included on this list next week!
Since next week has yet to come, here are my top 10 moments of this week!

planet.ocamlcore.org is deprecated
As announced a month ago [1], I intend to stop running the planet in the next few hours. The website http://planet.ocamlcore.org will redirect to the new planet. If you had problem reading the old planet, you should switch to the new one.
SSH access to the forge: moving from port 22 to port 522
TL;DR I have changed the SSH port to reduce the noise of SSH attacks.
planet.ocamlcore.org will soon be deprecated
For the past 8 years the OCaml Planet was running on http://planet.ocamlcore.org. A few years ago, another planet has forked and it is now better maintained than the old one. This new planet is located here http://ocaml.org/community/planet/ and the old planet will soon redirect to this new location.
forge.ocamlcore.org and related websites unstable
Today, I had to reboot the server 3 times (and counting). I am investigating the issue and trying to find a solution.
forge.ocamlcore.org NOT reported as unsafe anymore
Thanks to the help of E. Török and the Google Webmaster Tools we were able to spot the problem and remove what appears to the search engines as a virus. We are now indexed again on Google and not reported anymore as containing malicious content.
forge.ocamlcore.org reported as unsafe in Firefox/Chrome
The website is actually reported as containing malicious links. I noticed that some spambots were uploading content as bug attachment and I need to track all that and clean the website.
Spam problem, lot of mails cannot be sent
I recently got an alert that the forge server was sending a lot of spam. After inspection it turns out that there is a positive feedback loop in between sending mail requests to moderate spam on mailing list and ending up being considered as a spammer (i.e. you ask to moderate a message "Sell Ur Gold For Mo$$ney" every day and after a few day the forge is considered as a spammer).
Migration starting this evening, bzr disabled for now
Unfortunately the forge keeps rebooting. I suspect that it cannot hold the usual "bot" traffic with the amount of memory it has or one of the hard drive is failing.
Recent reboots explained: the forge has been compromised
Earlier today, I was connected while the Forge was under heavy load. This has often been the case before most of the recent reboot.
OCaml Forge maintenance
Recently the OCaml forge has required a lot of hardware reboots. The server is probably near end of life and I need to upgrade the whole infrastructure to a recent server.

Rebecca Brand: From corporate tax breaks to immigration reform to environmental protections and health care, we're working with hundreds unions across the state to move one of our most aggressive legislative campaigns in California history.
What Activists (Should Have) Learned in 2012
Randy Shaw: Activists are in far better spirits than one year ago. Progressives see that the public is on their side, and, unlike in the aftermath of the 2008 elections, are staying engaged in the major policy struggles that elections are supposed to be all about.
Occupy Should Stay Unattached to Political Parties
Mark Nathan: We need grassroots social movements of such force that it will reinvent what is possible in mainstream American politics. The Occupy movements have started such a process.
The City of Second Chances
Julie Gutman: On Labor Day, Let's Celebrate L.A.'s Status as a Bastion of Human, Immigrant and Workers' Rights
What Activists Can Learn from Schwarzenegger and Obama
Randy Shaw: Why did California progressives do so well in the midterm elections, in contrast to conservatives' success nationally? A major reason is that the state's activists pushed progressive policies without seeking approval from politicians.
Lessons of the UNITE HERE-SEIU Deal
Randy Shaw: The SEIU-UNITE HERE conflict also shows the peril of veteran labor leaders quietly deferring to destructive decisions by top union officials, a lesson that was supposed to have been learned from activists' experience with Cesar Chavez and the UFW in the 1970's.
Despise the Initiative Process? New York City Shows Why Progressives Need It
New York City provides a case study of a large, ethnically diverse, California-like entity where citizen ballot measures are not an option. The result? A profoundly undemocratic city where large real estate developers call the shots.
Labor Day, 2009: Picnics, Parades, and a Pinch of Protest
We are in a situation in America where the working class, and in particular the union working class, has shrunk to the lowest point its ever been, and this is the reality we are going to have to face in a global economy…We're talking about a Global Labor Movement and that's the only way American workers are going to survive.

Condemned: Criminal Origins (360)
Feb 15, 2009 1:35PM PST
Condemned: Criminal Origins Review (360)
Help me Ethan Thomas, your my only hope.
Condemned is a first-person game, released by Sega and Monolith just as the 360 launched. It follows the story of Special Agent Ethan Thomas, as he hunts down the murderer known as the "Match Maker." Complications arise at a crime scene that ends up with Thomas being framed for the murder of two officers. So, now not only does Thomas have to hunt down the "Match Maker." But he also has to clear his name in the process.
Even though the game is in the first-person perspective, that doesn't mean it's a traditional first-person shooter. Weapons derive from items found in the levels, 2x4's, pipes, shovels, ect. Firearms are also available in the game, but they are as you would find them in real-life; slightly used and no extra clips. This element of gameplay really adds to the survivability aspect of the game. A whole new sense of desperation comes into play when facing off against a group of thugs, and all you have is a pipe wrench. Although, you do have a trusty tazer with you at all times, which can really come in handy in a pinch.
Another unique aspect of Condemned is the crime scene element. Thomas is equipped with such tools like a black light, and a laser that detects finger prints, and a camera to take pictures of it all. Which begs the question, why not ditch one of those for a holster and some clips? But, I digress, most of the crime scene analysis is fairly easy to complete. For the most part, you are walked through it by your special helper Rosa. She tells you what item to use, even though picking items is done automatically anyway, and she tells you where to scan in the scene. I wish these elements could have been a bit harder, or even had more rewards depending on how well you investigated the scene, but alas, half the time, if you don't need to do so to progress the story, you don't even need to bother with investigating a scene.
The story behind Condemned is a confusing one to say the least. Not much is known about the characters in the game, and not much is found out as you progress through it. In fact, I beat the game, and I'm still wondering about who Ethan Thomas really is. Another character unveiled early in the game is Malcom Vanhorn, supposedly a friend of the family that wants to help Ethan out. Throughout most of the game I found myself asking why this happened a lot. While the story of the game does indeed come to a close, I was left wondering about the larger story; a story that was barely even touched throughout the game.
For being a game that was released 5 years ago, not to mention as the Xbox 360 was released, this game looks very good. It does show it's age, but the levels and weapons really add to the effect of the game. Pipes and conduits that are ripped off the wall, look aged and broken. The same is with the 2x4's and some of the weapons. The levels themselves look like they haven't been lived in for years; the perfect place for junkies and murderers.
Four years ago, I may have been hesitant about suggesting a buy on this game. However, today the game costs around $20, so either way a rental or a purchase, you need to play this game. It's a little rough around the edges, but you'll have a blast.

|View Poll Results: Have you ever encountered the Manufacturer Mafia on RcGroups
|Voters: 66. You may not vote on this poll
|Thread Tools
|This thread is privately moderated by Socomon, who may elect to delete unwanted replies.
Nice write up, and very true for many manufacturers.
I'm annoyed by it as well. I punish them in my own creative ways when they do it. Fortunately there are some long time members on RCG that do stand up to them and call them out on their poor business practices.
Another example, this week
Wilhaney on the "Funny Pictures" thread received a warning for cross posting. And Showed Jim Graham about the "selective" enforcement for Moderators.
Graham then sicked Jim Bourke on Wilhaney. Bourke responds by providing a Google map for "contacts" so that Wilhaney can see a Therapist.
Wilhaney complains that Bouke made a "personal Attack" and Bourke assigns
a new infraction "For Being Wilhaney" and a "1000 point penalty" then permanently bans Wilhaney
If Graham and Bouke keep being so heavy handed and irrational (my opinion-have to include this, Big Brother may be watching) then the RCG will thin out, advertisers will leave and Bourke will have to give up his new radial thunder toy.
In the name of ad revenue, any self respecting search engine (the Goog) promotes search results that try to sell products & demotes search results that contain negative information. People just emulate how the internet prioritizes information and have become very sales oriented. When search engines made money on their own banner ads and based search results on relevance, people were a lot more critical of products.
Absolutely correct, the guys that show up instantly praising a product, well like you say, duh, shills for sure.
I for one will post experiences with any product, good, bad, or whatever.
Folks can make their own judgements on this stuff.
I did and was attacked about my abilities instead that something is wrong with the product. my posts were removed and I was assigned several warnings. Since, my posts were proved true. The product was assembled poorly at the factory.
The Review Postings died shortly after Zup, posted what was really under the covering. I thought the product was dying until a new posting the other day and a new victum of the center wing failure.
Mike MacDougal (reviewer) doesn't have any more reviews for EZone in the "coming soon" either.

I completely agree with what you posted!
I was BANNED for 10 days because I pissed off a Paying Sponsor (one that works for the Sponsor) and all because I asked why the motor that he suggested was better than say the HOBBY CITY one that was 1/2 "Half" price from the one he was suggesting?
It went down hill from there....no only this person followed me everywhere I posted and reported me to the extent that I was BANNED for 10 day!
I agree with all that you observed!

Yes, Carlos. Unfortunately your experience is not at all unique here. I think there has to be a better balance between the interests of the site sponsors and us, their paying customers.
Thankfully, they have at least let me have this venue (so-far) to express my concerns.
Sadly, in reference to the plane with the 'failed wing center section"... I of all people am VERY intiment with that plane... I have gone through 3 of them. I do not work for the company and I do love the plane, but I also have posted what I thought was wrong with it...adn wouldnt recommend it as a first balsa plane or even a second warbird.
I do agree that you have to be careful on who's products you talk bad about or you will get smacked. I got samcked for a off topic comment in a long thread but the 15 posts above me were all off topic (we were all talking hockey during last years playoffs) and I was the only one to get points...apprently my days of riding a center Chinesse company (that used to be in tiawan) caught up to me.
I am an admin on another forum that covers horizon planes...we are NOT sponsored or supported in any way by horizon and we currently dont sell ad space and the 3 of us that run it have agreed to only prevent personal attacks and crappy outside sales pitches (IE "nike shoes and Ipod" posts that we get here)
too bad that doesnt happen here.

Gigabyte GSmart Sierra S1 ReviewGIGABYTE GSmart Sierra S1 6
There's not much to say about the interface on the Sierra S1, for the simple fact that it is running almost stock Android 4.2 Jelly Bean, with a couple of extra widgets peppered on for a good measure, and a "G" letter branded in the lock screen circle.
Gigabyte doesn't even provide any apps outside of the stock ones, save for a file browser and a flashlight. It has licensed the excellent TouchPal keyboard as default, though, providing Swype-like finger tracing functionality in many languages.
Processor and memory
A quad-core MediaTek MT6589T is nothing to write home about, despite the number of cores, as these are frugal Cortex-A7 processors, clocked at 1.5 GHz , which are not exactly powerful. The basic PowerVR SGX544 GPU isn't the most peppy either, so you'll notice some lag and hiccups both in the interface and browser, and while going in and out of apps. The phone sports 1 GB of RAM for some basic multitasking, and only 4 GB of internal memory, but it does provide a memory card slot, so you can expand with up to 32 GB more.

Internet and connectivity
The stock Android browser as well as the installed Chrome browser's performance is pretty basic on the phone. Zooming is choppy, and panning around introduces quite a bit of lag. Text reflow works as intended, though, snapping the article text into the screen width for easier reading, and scrolling is generally fluid.
The Sierra S1 supports 42.2 Mbits HSPA+ download speeds, and features Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 3.0 and A-GPS connectivity, FM radio and that's about it. USB on-the-go is supported, meaning you can plug a flash drive in the microUSB port with the respective cable, and the phone will recognize its content.

A contemporary1 has devoted a recent issue to a sort of symposium on the propriety of the prophylactic removal of the appendix in infants. This was tentatively suggested in 1890 by Burt G. Wilder, and the idea seems to have taken root sufficiently to call out these expressions of opinion ten years later. The opinions on the subject are apparently given in response to a circular letter of inquiry addressed to leading surgeons, and are of interest in showing the trend of surgical opinion on this point. Out of about 90 who gave their views, only 4 or 5 gave even a qualified approval to the procedure at the present time, and only 3 or 4 ventured to hint that the time might come when it would be recognized and adopted by the profession. One was non-committal, several objected to the measure because of the danger from laparotomy in
