Bill Maher to Obama: Get off the TV and socialize this country, darn it

Via RCP, a video version of his op-ed in yesterday's LA Times that proves it's A-OK in Hollywood to attack The One so long as you're attacking from the left. Five minutes is a long time to endure smugness this thick but force yourself through it, as I think it represents a tipping point: When even a media whore as whorish as Maher is telling Obama he's overexposed, he's overexposed.
Pity poor Captain Legthrill next to him, forced to sit through such extended blasphemy. Exit question: Is Maher still calling himself a libertarian these days? He's less laissez faire than Andrew Sullivan is conservative.

Obama's narcissism makes him incapable of stepping out of the spotlight. Moreover, it's a great way to cover up incompetence, although pretty soon even the Obamabots are going to want some steak with that sizzle.
As things get worse we will probably get even more of this with Castro-like three hour speeches or a two day TV show ala Hugo Chavez. Like them, mesmerizing but empty and dishonest rhetoric is the only talent he's got.
As for Maher, his monologue contained rants against banks, insurance companies, deregulation and "tax cuts for the rich". If he's a libertarian, then I'm the Queen of England.

Sorry for the multiple posts. My link below got cut off.
I think this is classic. Liberals attacking liberals. Although, I do agree with Maher slightly in that having any overexposure to the President does diminish the office.
I've got a blog up where I comment on these and other things. Check it out here

Some of his jabs about Obama's whoring in front of the media were mildly amusing. One of the lines Mahar said in the video is that we have to reduce carbon DIOXIDE by 40%? What? Pray tell me how are the plants supposed to breathe? Carbon DIOXIDE is their oxygen, so to speak. They need us to emit carbon DIOXIDE so they can breathe and we need them to do their photosynthesis thing so we get new oxygen. Did all of these environmental whackos skip biology class in 10th grade?
karenhasfreedom on June 13, 2009 at 3:53 PM
Maher is an idiot. What really disturbs me is that he and Olbermann have a built in audience of people they can sell half-baked truths and outright falsehoods to.
I'm all for a vibrant strain of liberalism in this country, but it MUST be grounded in some intellecual thoughts that have some logic to them and take account of our Founding Values. Proposing things that deliberately destroy the fabric of our country to achieve their goals is not the way it should be done.
Unfortunately, as long as Maher/Maddow/Olbermann and others can get away with putting their junk out there, it is going to be an uphill battle.
Thanks for visiting my blog. Yeah. Katia is cute, but she does know how to let others know when she's had enough. Believe me, we both have. Time to stand up and take the country back, one person at a time.
mncons72 on June 13, 2009 at 3:57 PM
I don't know what Maher said because I refuse to listen to idiots.I do think that Obama should spend even more time media-whoring.He should be on T.V.,radio,in the papers,Us magazine,People magazine,needs a few more Time and Newsweek covers way more than he has been up till now.By 2012,eveybody in the country will be so sick of his lousy voice and his B.S. that he won't be able to win the Dhimmicrat Primary.More,more more Obama.Of course I personally won't be listening,since I was sick of his sorry sh** the first time I heard him.

sad thing is that the Zero will probably take Maher's advice.
poppieseeds on June 13, 2009 at 4:25 PM
He mentioned something about the health care initiative failing already in congress…dear goodness, one can only HOPE.
Personally, I love it that this guy is creepy enough to rival 3rd world dictators in screentime hours. For gosh' sake, like we want him actually DOING anything else. He is starting look like the fraud he is.
On a related note: what about our constitution do liberals not understand? He is railing against Booooosh for breaking laws and shredding the constitution (can someone show me how he did this, by the way?)..but…isn't SOCIALISM exactly OPPOSED to our entire constitution? Tell me if I am wrong.

I've thought about the elementism of the left and how biased they are against CO2 and how they hate plants.
It's too bad plants can't vote because if they could, it would put the GOP back in power and we'd stop the madness.
The only problem is that they'd start screaming for subsidized CO2 and healthcare and other plant welfare.
Sapwolf on June 13, 2009 at 5:01 PM
I wonder if it ever entered Bill Maher's mind that if he, with his genius IQ (in his opinion anyway), was wrong about Obama being a celebrity and McCain and us dumb rednecks were right, that its possible that there is something else he is equally wrong about? Somehow I doubt it.

Rethuglicans will lose the health care debate because the status-quo is currently unacceptable. They had eight years to reform health care and they didn't. They for the dems to run their experiment
equality on June 13, 2009 at 2:11 PM
So much crap here, it's hard to know where to start.
Not realy original, are we?
the status-quo is currently unacceptable.
I'll stick with the best health care in the world, thanks. Remember, Ontario just set a goal of keeping ER response down below 8 hours in a critical care situation. See, if you need to set that as a goal, it means you're not there yet. It's worse than 8 hours; far worse.
They had eight years to reform health care and they didn't.
Hostile opposition in congress. Not eight years, six. If reforming health care was a democratic priority, why didn't they do it in 2007/2008, when they had regained majority control?
TheyTime for the dems to run their experiment
I don't want to be "experimented" on, thanks. With my money. At the risk of bankrupting the country.

Re: Libertarianism, Maher, Chomsky, and assorted idiots.
A "Big Tent" is all well and good, but exercise some control over what comes in, or you'll end up like the Libertarians (I still am one in spirit though I can no longer be in fact): Driven over the edge by an influx of radical leftists (they side with Libertarians in wanting to tear down useless institutions, fidder in that they want to replace them with even bigger blunders), nihilists, Troofers, et al.

It's a cruel kind of calculus; they multiply how hip and edgy they think he is by the number of viewers they delude themselves into thinking he brings in, and divide the resultant by whatever they pay him. Then, they add in the damage they percieve he does to anyone of a conservative nature.
Bizarro-world math.
massrighty on June 13, 2009 at 6:19 PM
I'm shocked that Maher is shocked to find that BO is just another politician.
To his credit, at least he is ahead of the curve. It is going to take years for average BO voter to come to the same realization. That Obama is no agent of change. Just your typical politician with a celebrity complex.

If Obama's infatuation with the camera is starting to chafe to such a degree that even a cheerleader like Maher feels empowered to openly ridicule him, then you know Obama is a hopeless diva.
He's a diva with a very successful run, but eventually every show stops drawing an audience.

How is it this repulsive creature still has a career? He's not funny, he's not smart, he's not entertaining, and he's downright painful to look at. He must have some incredibly good dirt on somebody powerful at HBO, or whatever cable channel his show is on.

Maher is just confused because Dear Leader said in Cairo that he was not going to impose his will on any nation. It was a very bad thing to do! Dear Leader will not go back on his promises. Insert eye rolling here.
Maher might want to look at what happened to the IG at Ameri-Corp, and Lauria being labeled a terrorist. Even Democrats can be victims of Dear Leader. Just ask those at GM, and Chrysler.

Obama certainly needs intervention . . . he spends more time on TV than a test pattern. Furthermore, he really needs to stop screwing up prime time broadcasting.

Maher is a greazy slime-ball reprobate with a cable tv show from which he can broadcast his asinine screed every week to his asinine worshippers.
Nothing he has to say interests me in the very least.
SilverStar830 on June 13, 2009 at 9:49 PM
Bill is a idiot! I cannot stomach his a**. Had to turn video off before I puked.
Who the hell watches his show anyway? What, does he have an audience of a dozen potheads or something? I have boycotted HBO a long time ago.
Now, Penn and Teller's "Bullsh!t" is good (on Showtime). I love them, and will continue to support their show. But Maher is a turd that should have been flushed a long time ago.
ErinF on June 13, 2009 at 10:33 PM
Exit question: Is Maher still calling himself a libertarian these days?
From what I can tell, Maher is libertine regarding his own behaviour and wanting govt out of that. Beyond that he's no libertarian.
Obama certainly needs intervention . . . he spends more time on TV than a test pattern.
Obama simply should have gone into show business. He would have made even more money than he is now (if that's even possible); he would feed his immense ego; he would get all kinds of attention; he could walk red carpets till his twiggy legs fell off; he could mix n mingle with the "beautiful people"; he could win sparkly golden colored awards; he wouldn't have to connive and manipulate populations every minute of the day; and last but not least, America would be safer than when it's under his control.
Go away obama. Join the hollyweird elite.
I heard obama has some massive book deal going on as I speak. Is this even legal??? Remember the dimrats being up in arms over Newt Gingrich having a book deal making a few measly thousand dollars profit while in office? I guess they don't have a problem with obama making millions doing the same thing. The [email protected]@rd.
ErinF on June 13, 2009 at 10:40 PM
Why are there so many history ignorant people in America to think that Obama is doing the right things? Everywhere in history where they've tried things Obama is doing has failed… Reagan's less government and less taxes worked. These people don't care about helping America, they only want to keep power. Best way to keep power is become the hand that feeds.

equality on June 13, 2009 at 2:11 PM
Let's get one thing clear: the "debate" is not about health CARE. We have the best health care in the world and it is available to everybody, regardless of ability to pay. The debate is about health INSURANCE. Because 15% of the population does not carry health insurance, including an untold percentage of illegal aliens, BO wants to punish the other 85% and make the government the health insurer for everyone and we will all be paying a fortune for it. You'd better hope the Republicans win this debate, bucko. Because if the day comes that Nanny Pelosi is your "insurer of choice" you can kiss your health care goodbye.
winfield on June 13, 2009 at 11:32 PM
…Because if the day comes that Nanny Pelosi is your "insurer of choice" you can kiss your health care goodbye.
Yeah. Nothing like being told that because you're 70 years old and a white veteran, you'll have to take a back seat to some illegal alien to get your chemo.
obama voters are idiots… dumb as freakin' stumps!
ErinF on June 13, 2009 at 11:38 PM

The clip's only 30 seconds if you cut out the parts where he stops to laugh at his own jokes.
This is my first post on Hotair! I kept on missing the registration even though I am a loyal reader; (I check out this wonderful site at least 10-15 times during the day.) This performance by Bill "smirk-in-a-suit" Maher is a prime example of what's wrong in this country. He spent 6 years ridiculing, (in the most demeaning fashion,) George H. Bush for his "arrogance," his "swaggering," and his "war-mongering;" and then promoted with unflinching exuberance our one "true Messiah" only to realize that he is also, indeed, an arrogant, war-mongering, and swaggering "leader of the free world" himself. This kind of hubris is generally only found in Greek Mythology.
libertarianator on June 14, 2009 at 7:13 AM
While I'm sure my first post will be scrutinized extensively by the Hotair personnel to make sure I'm not a troll, I'd like to say that Bill "politically correct" is not in fact anything close to a libertarian. His views and opinions come directly from the liberal playbook.
libertarianator on June 14, 2009 at 7:20 AM
The major difference between libertarians and "liberaltarians," (like our favorite "Real Time" host is that true libertarians believe all people should be allowed to voice their opinions; no matter how repugnant they may be. Liberaltarians of the same ilk as Bill "politically correct" Maher believe that opinions only matter when they are the same as his. Like the old joke goes "Democrats will fight to the death for your right to agree with them!"
libertarianator on June 14, 2009 at 7:41 AM
In addition to Obama. I'm tired of seeing Bill Maher every couple of days. He's not smart,he's not funny. He's a zero.

adamsmith on June 14, 2009 at 8:00 AM
What annoys me most about Bill Maher is that he used to be funny. When "Politically Incorrect" was on comedy central way back in the day it truly was a good show. He and the "panel" would bring up good points and differing views. When he moved to ABC his liberal bias started showing in the guests he booked and the topics discussed; however the show was still entertaining. It was (as I observed) in 1999, shortly after the Bill Clinton/Monica Lewinsky erupted that his show became completely one-sided. Not only was, according to Maher, the entire scandal "all about sex," but any condemnation against the left boiled down to, again according to Bill "smirk" Maher, (and Hillary Clinton,) a "vast right wing conspiracy." The fact that he lied under oath and conspired to, (or was at least a party to,) commit obstruction of justice was in their eyes completely irrelevant. Now last time I looked both were federal crimes and carried stiff fines as well as jail time. Bill Clinton neither payed any fines nor spent any time in jail for these federal crimes. Bill Maher applauded these decisions. In his mind a political crime can only be committed by a person of the opposite political persuasion, i.e. a republican/conservative. Truly a "liberal" (not as defined by Webster's,) point of view.
libertarianator on June 14, 2009 at 8:11 AM
LMAO. I doubt Maher knows what the meaning of the word libertarian is. I could take a picture of my dog looking that up in the dictonary and put it on my blog. Check it out, by the way .
Matter of fact… That picture might get some laughs…
In all seriousness, I doubt many Americans know that progressivism has infected BOTH parties to such an extent that the old values that both major parties were started on and their links to the Founding Fathers were severed long ago.
Want to fix what is wrong with the country, let's all remember what Jefferson, Madison, Hamilton, Adams, Washington, Burr and others wrote and spoke out about. Even old-style liberalism had some unique values that we would call CONSERVATIVE!!!
Progressive thinking is a rot that will destroy all societies because it removes the individual incentive to improve your lot in life and pursue a profit motive. Once that's gone, well, there goes the rest of the house of cards…
Received this from a family member yesterday. Don't know if the author at the bottom of this is the actual author; just know I like the vibe of the message…
Dear American liberals, leftists, social progressives, socialists, Marxists and Obama supporters, et al:
We have stuck together since the late 1950's, but the whole of this latest election process has made me realize that I want a divorce. I know we tolerated each other for many years for the sake of future generations, but sadly, this relationship has run its course. Our two ideological sides of America cannot and will not ever agree on what is right so let's just end it on friendly terms. We can smile and chalk it up to irreconcilable differences and go our own way. Here is a model separation agreement:
Our two groups can equitably divide up this country by landmass each taking a portion. That will be the difficult part, but I am sure our two sides can come to a friendly agreement. After that, it should be relatively easy! Our respective representatives can effortlessly divide other assets since both sides have such distinct and disparate
We don't like redistributive taxes so you can keep them. You are welcome to the liberal judges and the ACLU. Since you hate guns and war, we'll take our firearms, the cops, the NRA and the military. You can keep Oprah, Michael Moore and Rosie O'Donnell (You are, however, responsible for finding a bio-diesel vehicle big enough to move all three of them).
We'll keep the capitalism, greedy corporations, pharmaceutical companies, Wal-Mart and Wall Street.. You can have your beloved homeboys, hippies and illegal aliens. We'll keep the hot Alaskan hockey moms, greedy CEO's and rednecks. We'll keep the Bibles and give you NBC and Hollywood .
You can make nice with Iran and Palestine and
we'll retain the right to invade and hammer places that threaten us. You can have the peaceniks and war protesters.
When our allies or our way of life are under assault, we'll help provide them security. We'll keep our Judeo-Christian values.. You are welcome to Islam, Scientology, Humanism and Shirley McClain. You can also have the U.N.. but we will no longer be paying the bill.
We'll keep the SUVs, pickup trucks and oversized luxury cars. You can take every Volkswagon you can find.
We'll keep The Battle Hymn of the Republic and the National Anthem. I'm sure you'll be happy to substitute Imagine, I'd Like to Teach the World to Sing, Kum Ba Ya or We Are the World.
We'll practice trickle down economics and you can give trickle up poverty your best shot. Since it often so offends you, we'll keep our history, our name and our flag.

Maher doesn't seem to understand how the new regime is designed to work. Obama's Czars run the gubmit for him. That's what they're put there to do. That frees up Obama to be the Community Organizer in Chief, the Alinsky mouthpiece, the TOTUS as rock star. Obama's job is to stir the pot.
Keemo on June 14, 2009 at 8:44 AM
Telling it like it is.
Great post Keemo.
I am sure Maher would not understand a word of it.
He's less laissez faire than Andrew Sullivan is conservative.
Maher is to pathetic to watch.
He obviously was picked on a lot as a kid and laughed at ruthlessly while in the showers after gym.
This guy never has any real answers or solutions and is pretty much relegated to ignorant,narcissistic snark,because he is not smart enough for independent,objective,informed commentary on today's issues.
Maher is pretty much the video feed of a huffington post comment section.
Mindless blather.
Baxter Greene on June 14, 2009 at 8:56 AM
Thanks Baxter! According to Rove, the left can also have Maureen Dowd as part of the divorce agreement…
Former White House adviser Karl Rove went on the attack against New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd, calling her a "nasty, snarky person."
"I think Maureen Dowd is a bitter, twisted, deranged columnist for the New York Times who misses no opportunity to show her disdain for the conservative side of the aisle," Rove said on Fox News Channel on Wednesday.
"This is a dour, downbeat liberal."
Rove's remarks came in response to a column Dowd wrote about President Barack Obama's leisure activities since entering the White House, including his recent trip to New York with his wife Michelle.
"Some respite from the pressure is clearly a healthy thing," Dowd wrote.
"Not as much respite as [President George W. Bush] took, bicycling and vacationing through all the disasters that President Obama is now stuck fixing — spending a total of 490 days in the tumbleweed isolation of Crawford and rarely deigning to sightsee as he traveled the world."
Rove called the shot at Bush "typical of Maureen Dowd's twisted, bitter little heart. I admire her writing, but she is a very nasty, snarky person."

locomotivebreath1901 on June 14, 2009 at 9:38 AM
From powerlineblog.com
On Friday, President Obama had this to say about the election in Iran:
We are excited to see what appears to be a robust debate taking place in Iran. Whoever ends up winning the election in Iran, the fact there has been a robust debate hopefully will advance our ability to engage them in new ways.
This was an extremely foolish comment for at least two reasons. First, the debate in Iran was circumscribed. The candidates were screened by the mullahs. Four were permitted to run; hundreds were deemed insufficiently in tune with the "Revolution." And there appars to have little or no debate on the issue of primary concern to the U.S. — Iran's nuclear program. Ahmadinejad's main rival, Mir-Hossein Moussavi, was in full agreement with the regime on this matter.
Second, there was always a strong possibility of election fraud. Robust debate, even had it existed, would be meaningless in the face of a fraudulent election. Thus, Obama should not have lauded the election, much less characterized it as advancing our ability to engage Iran in new ways, until he was satisfied that the election was honest. A fraudulent election in which the existing, intransigent regime claims a landslide victory will not advance our ability to engage in Iran in new ways.
A day later, it seems clear that the election was fraudulent. U.S. officials have said as much off-the-record. They find it "not credible" that Mousavi would have lost the balloting in his hometown or that a third candidate, Mehdi Karoubi, would have received less than 1 percent of the total vote.
So Obama has praised an election that appears to have been a travesty. It's difficult to see how either Iran's rulers or its dissidents can view him as other than a fool — usefully so in the case of the rulers; criminally so in the case of the dissidents.
A dangerously naive empty suit indeed…

Hey Maher, you're so anxious to live in a Socialistic society?
Why don't you take your assclown class act to Venezuela then, where you can bask in the glory of socialism at it's absolute zenith.
And that is not being stated in a kind way.

Why wouldn't he praise it? He knows all about it, having already benefited from one of those here in America. All that was missing in Iran was ACORN and a few black panthers threatening "whitey".

The thing with the big media is that when aggressive people on the right (Rush, etc.) criticize Obama, they're just brushed off by the reporters and editors and being right-wing haters. But when criticism comes from the left by people like Maher that the press isn't holding Barack's feet to the fire enough on his promises to go even further left than he has now, that actually will spark a round of introspection from the same media types that they are being too conservative, hard as that is to believe.
(My guess is if enough people pick up the tone Maher, Rosanne and Maddow have already tried to set on TV, radio and in Bill's L.A. Times op-ed piece, you'll be seeing a roundtable on one of the Sunday shows by next week on "Is the media not holding Obama to his promises?", as if, with the polls showing falling support for what he's done already, the public is clammoring for him to move even further left on foreign and domestic policies).

And what jobs are Maher and Matthews vying for under Obama's new group the "Anti-American Socialist Service" (An ASS), Chief Propagandist or Chief ASS Kisser.

I can't believe somebody as bright as Steve Allen picked a yutz like this to be his protege. I hope he gets a job as a radio talk show host on Air Venezuela.

His clarion call for socialized medicine means this prick doesn't have to pay for his staffs health care bill from his production budget and he gets to keep the change. (Did I just type the word change and it meant something?)

The main star of this part of Hove's beach is the long wide promenade that runs between the beach and the Hove Lawns.Which is the wide grassy football size pitches park areas,all along the front.Running from the Meeting Place Cafe,all the way until just past the former grandeur of the King Alfred leisure centre.Which unfortunately isn't going to have its modern replacement(due to the signs of the times apparently).
It's a wonderful place to stroll on,with all the family out.Or indeed as you will pass or be passed by.Runners,Rollerbladers,Skateboarders,but not cyclist as they are not allowed.Though there's a cycle lane running along the top of the lawns.Which continues on into Brighton,and the other way down onto the beach's prom after the lawns then back up after the King Alfred.All the way along the coast to Worthing.
At one end of this motorway wide prom is the Meeting place cafe.Which is next to the Peace statue.And both are natural great meeting places and to take a coffee or a bite to eat
The Hove lawns themselves are frequented by picnickers,joggers,dog walkers,and both impromptu and planned football matches.Early mornings sees many a straining jogger and the British Military putting an increasingly large number of masochists through their paces,before the routine of work takes over.
At the Peace statue end is the jaded Art deco 'Embassy court@next to all the Regency era architecture,running along Hove's seafront.Concentrating its splendour at Brunswick square and terrace,leading onto Palmeira square and Adelaide crescent.A great example of an earlier age is the Bandstand,just past the Peace statue.Of which at present is being lovingly restored,with a golden look to its top spired terraced topping.Unfortunately the West pier is now long past its glory,though amazingly still remains iconic,complete with a community of surfers.With its younger,still intact sister,the Palace,sorry Brighton pier glowing in the background.In the hazy distance to your right there's the Portslade Power Station,which looks like a big middle finger.
It's less busy than Brighton's beach.Though getting busier.BBQs are allowed all along the front except in front of the Beach apartments next to King Alfred.The same as for Brighton,there's a big difference between the in and out tides,about the height of a house.When its in,it drops off very quickly.Whereas when its out,especially at very low tide.exposing surprise,surprise glorious golden sand,becoming more shallow family friendly.
Hove beach's hove lawns,is the place to be for taking a stroll along the prom,having BBQs and picnics.Along with a great place to meet and a popular open exercising and sporting venue.

Insurance changes cause concern for military widow
EL PASO, Texas - A health care provider that covers military families, retirees and their dependents is making some changes.
TRICARE covers more than 9 million service members and their families.
Ann Neithamer, an Army widow since 1971, is comforted knowing her health coverage will follow her for a lifetime.
Her husband Lt. Col. Ron Neithamer, served in the Army for 20 years.
TRICARE for Life provides health coverage to beneficiaries 65 years of age or older so they don't have to solely rely on Medicare.
"I am so thankful that I have TRICARE for Life, that the government has that for us. I'm very blessed as a military widow," said Neithamer.
It was a letter sent by the Department of Defense Health Affairs office that made her question the coverage she has relied on for more than five decades.
The letter stated that all TRICARE benefits will be administered through a new contractor beginning April 1, with the potential of major changes for members.
"Oh my goodness, maybe I won't be able to use the same physicians that I've been using," said Neithamer, an unsettling thought for the widow, who gave a copy of the letter to ABC-7.
She said what wasn't clear is that she is the exception because she is covered under TRICARE for Life, something that was not mentioned in the letter.
"It really was unnerving when i got the letter. If you're not computer literate and don't have someone who can do it and find out you feel like you're in limbo,"said
ABC-7 reached out to the public affairs office for TRICARE, but no one was available for comment.

The dried black larvae, if they are hard are stonebrood. It is fungal like chalkbrood. There is also EFB in there. The larvae that are twisting and turning yellow and brown. Sometimes the larvae start with what appears to be efb then chalkbrood or stonebrood finish them off. If the hive were mine I would feed Caspian solution. Short of that feed syrup, patties if you have them.
Sounds like the outside frame has not been built because lack of flow.

Date of Stay: September, 2008
The best thing about this campground is the location!!! We were here for three days in the fall of 2008. The RV park sits right at the entrance to Bryce Canyon National Park. There are restaurants, gas stations, and small grocery stores within walking distance of the RV park. For ATV riders, there are trails connecting the park to some fantastic riding. There also are many hiking trails in the area. We enjoyed meeting people from all over the world who were first time visitors to the area. It was a quiet, comfortable place to stay, and we will definitely return again.
Date of Stay: September, 2008
I love this place! My husband and I have camped at this park several times in the last three years. The park is always super clean and neat. The little country store on the property is well equipped and clean. The owners are great; I even like their dog. In 2008 we were there for 10 days for ATV riding in June and another 10 days in September. We will be back there again in 2009 for the July 4th. holiday and for the fall changing of the leaves about the middle of September. Our riding trips have taken us for hundreds of miles in the surrounding mountains on the many ATV trails available. There are many people we have met at the park who are not ATV people but who love the clean, quiet park.
Date of Stay: June, 2008
The best thing about this park for us was the closeness to ATV riding. There is a small restaurant and store on the grounds. The restrooms were not clean, but we usually use our own anyway. Fishing is available at the park with a Utah fishing license. Nothing fancy about this park; several full time local workers in travel trailers in the park.
Date of Stay: June, 2008
Beautiful location and very quiet. Friendly manager and good rate. Remote from any towns and very, very quiet. Nearby golf course and within driving distance of Bryce and Zion National Parks.

Towards an understanding of Australian genre cinema and entertainment : beyond the limitations of 'Ozploitation' discourse
Ryan, Mark David (2010) Towards an understanding of Australian genre cinema and entertainment : beyond the limitations of 'Ozploitation' discourse. Continuum : Journal of Media & Cultural Studies, 24(6), pp. 843-854.
Accepted Version
(PDF 130kB)
While Australian cinema has produced popular movie genres since the 1970s, including action/adventure, road movies, crime, and horror movies, genre cinema has occupied a precarious position within a subsidised national cinema and has been largely written out of film history. In recent years the documentary Not Quite Hollywood (2008) has brought Australia's genre movie heritage from the 1970s and 1980s back to the attention of cinephiles, critics and cult audiences worldwide. Since its release, the term 'Ozploitation' has become synonymous with Australian genre movies. In the absence of discussion about genre cinema within film studies, Ozploitation (and 'paracinema' as a theoretical lens) has emerged as a critical framework to fill this void as a de facto approach to genre and a conceptual framework for understanding Australian genres movies. However, although the Ozploitation brand has been extremely successful in raising the awareness of local genre flicks, Ozploitation discourse poses problems for film studies, and its utility is limited for the study of Australian genre movies. This paper argues that Ozploitation limits analysis of genre movies to the narrow confines of exploitation or trash cinema and obscures more important discussion of how Australian cinema engages with popular movies genres, the idea of Australian filmmaking as entertainment, and the dynamics of commercial filmmaking practises more generally.

What is in this article?:
- NEC Rules on Alternative Energy Systems — Part 2
- SIDEBAR: Where the Wind Blows
Applying the 2011 NEC revisions to fuel cell and wind installations
SIDEBAR: Where the Wind Blows
Conversion of wind power to electricity is not new. This concept was used in rural farming areas prior to the Rural Electrification Act of 1936, which brought rural electrical cooperatives into existence. Installing and maintaining a battery system remains one of the barriers to wide-spread use of wind power. As a result, the stand-alone small wind electric system is not seen as commonly as interconnected systems to supplement the electric utility power supply.
Most of the wind generation installation work is for large-scale wind farms. Wind farms consist of wind turbines too large to be covered by Art. 694. The types of installations that fall under Art. 694 are typically for a specific building or facility. They can serve as the sole supply for a structure, but more commonly serve as a supply in addition to other sources [694.7(A)]. The scope of Art. 694 limits it to one or more wind electric generators with individual generators having a rated power up to and including 100kW [694.1].

I have in the past made a duct tape double. You could base it off yourself, or do it based off of the "look" of a person. The Disk is only $10.00 USD, and it's a huge file. I've used them for long distance fittings, where I've had someone ducttape them in, then send me the "empty" shell, and fill it with fiberfill. It shows all your irregularities, etc.
Plus their cheap to construct. Maybe 50.00 total. Depending on the layers of ducttape used. They worked great for doing Ren Faire garb.

Who says fashion has to be frivolous? Northeastern Kenya is home to 127,000 refugees from Somalia, and some of the women have taken an interest in girls' volleyball. But the traditional women's hijab can be a major nuisance when trying to play in 100 degree heat. Enter the "sporty hijab" by Nike, which modifies the conventional design with lighter fabric. "Our arms will be free now," said Hamdi Hassan Hashi, 27. Nike has committed to providing 700 "conservative, comfortable and suitable for serving" uniforms, and are teaching local girls to sew the garments out of locally produced materials as well.
Meanwhile, there's an untapped denim market in the Muslim community. Al Quds jeans target comfort-seeking Muslims, with extra baggy fits for added flexibility, lots of pockets for storing things during prayer and green seams (the sacred color of Islam). Produced in a Pakistani plant with 15, 000 employees, the denim are made "for and by Muslims." For now, Al Quds are only available in Italynot surprisingly, the fashion capital of the world.

Another Islamic county is taking aim at curbing religious freedom; this time, it's Algeria. The Algerian parliament, in reaction to a recent "Christianizing campaign," passed a law that bans the practice of any religion other than Islam in the country. The penaltytwo to five years in prison and a hefty monetary fineapplies not only to practicing Christians, but any person, manufacturer, or store that circulates "publications or audo-visual or other means aiming at destabilizing attachment to Islam." According to the Arabic News, the Christian community constitutes the largest religious minority in the country.

A new bill was approved today in France that could force Apple to share previously protected technology in order to open the market. Currently, Apple products are only compatible with one another, meaning that if a user buys a song on Apple's music service iTunes, it can only be played on an Apple iPod. Since its inception, Apple has been able to thwart competition and dominate the online music market partially because of this technology. The iPod accounts for two out of every three portable music devices on the market, a fact obvious to anyone who takes public transportation amongst swarms of white-earphone wearers.
If this French law is adopted, it could effectively weaken Apple's global dominance. Even if the law doesn't pass, it should cause a commotion among users, all of whom would rather have the ability to share their music with more playing devices. Undoubtedly, the media will latch on to the story, opening Apple up to scrutiny for being user unfriendly.
In the long run, Apple may have no choice but to share the secrets of their format. By choosing to keep their designs compatible only with other Mac products, users likely will perceive Apple as a bully, a similar image problem facing computer conglomerate Microsoft. Because Apple's entire brand is aimed at a youth-dominated audience, it is too image-conscious to become alienated from its users. But unless Apple can brush this growing commotion under the rug, Apple's digital player dominance likely will be harmed.

Every now and again, the dinner-table conversation will turn to Iran (well, not my dinner table, but some
). And then on to Iran's nuclear program. And then on to how we must not let Iran go nuclear. And then perhaps on to how Israel did pretty well for itself by bombing Saddam Hussein's Osirak reactorand setting back Iraq's nuclear program for yearsback in 1981. You see where this is going.
Well, before the conversation ever does reach that point, read Richard K. Betts' piece in the National Interest, which notes that the Osirak bombing didn't really set back the Iraqi nuclear program in the 1980s, as everyone thinks. In fact, it may have even accelerated Iraq's nuclear program by making Saddam Hussein extra-determined to get the bomb, and in any case, Betts notes, attacking Iran isn't really a good thing to do. That doesn't mean the Bush administration won't try itcommon sense hasn't stopped this crew yetbut Betts at least lays out the argument in one nice, neat place.

Most of the studies that have come out over the years "proving" that newspapers slant one way or the other ideologically seem pretty vague to me. How much does it really affect the coverage, for instance, if the vaguely liberal Brookings Institution is quoted a shade more frequently than the center-right American Enterprise Institute? Is reporting really distorted if most reporters happen to be registered Democrats? And who's helped by the hugely moronic "he said, she said" format of most news stories? I don't know, those all seem like decently complicated questions that aren't answered by easy statistics. Intuitively, my hunch has always been that the coverage in major newspapers tips somewhat to the left on social issues and strongly to the right on economic issuesespecially on labor issues. But that's not always easy to quantify.
Or at least that's what I would've said before reading Garance Franke-Ruta's piece in the American Prospect today, looking at the New York Times abortion coverage on its editorial page. Franke-Ruta found that over the last two yearsat a time when abortion rights have come under serious attackthe Times has printed 124 op-eds mentioning abortion. Of those, 83 percent have been written by men, and more of them have been written by pro-life men than by women on either side. Most strikingly, over the past two years, the Times hasn't invited a single "reproductive-rights advocate, a pro-choice service-provider, or a representative of a women's group" to write an op-ed about abortion. Not one. And this from a nominally pro-choice newspaper.
The Times' unsigned editorials themselves tend to be strongly pro-choice, but one guesses that these receive somewhat less attention than the op-eds themselves. Moreover, a Times op-ed tends to elevate its author to prominence. So the disparity is a huge problem. The Times op-ed page is supposed to foster debate rather than disseminate propaganda (in theory, at least), so granted, it's bound to print pro-life op-eds from time to time, but nothing excuses a swing so far to the other sideto the point where women, especially pro-choice women, have basically been shut out of the debate. Hey, perhaps the newly skewed Times explains why we've seen the rise of the "thoughtful" male liberal ready to compromise on abortion if it will help the Democratic Party. (Which is, at any rate, a totally flawed electoral strategy.)

Yesterday, the Consumer Federation of America charged that Geico Corp. uses customers' educational backgrounds and career information as criteria in setting auto insurance rates. According to the CFA, Geico has utilized rating methods and underwriting guidelines in 44 states that are directly tied to education and occupation.
Geico responded that the charge was "an offensive attempt to link fundamentally fair and actuarially sound industry practices with invidious discrimination." However, Robert Hunter, the CFA's director of insurance, said that under Geico's rating method, "a New Orleans factory worker without a high school education would pay $2,636 for insurance, 91 percent more the $1,382 that a white-collar worker with a graduate degree would pay for the same vehicle and location."
The CFA also said that other insurers, including Liberty Mutual and Allstate, were starting to use Geico's methods, and it asked the National Association of Insurance Commissioners to intervene.

In a key test of religious freedom in post-Taliban Afghanistan, reports the Times of London, a court in Kabul is trying 41-year-old Abdul Rahman and could sentence him to death. His crime? Being a Christian. Rahman was arrested last month after his family accused him of having renounced his Muslim faith, an offense punishable by hanging under the Afghan constitution. The judge in the case, Alhaj Ansarullah Mawlawy Zada, called his country's constitution perfect, and said Rahman deserved punishment for "teasing and insulating his family by converting."
Though the Afghan constitution enshrines Islam as the national religion, it includes human rights safeguards forbidding inhumane punishments. Even so, the prosecutor in the case is pretty sure he'll get a conviction. Rahman "would be forgiven if he changed back," to Islam, he said, but not otherwise. "We are Muslims and becoming a Christian is against our laws. He must get the death penalty." After this verdict, Rahman will have two shots at an appeal.

In 2002, Terry Nelson was the deputy chief of staff for the Republican National Committee. That same year, Sen. Tom DeLay and two of his colleagues allegedly tried to dance around a Texas law which makes it illegal for corporations to fund candidates. According to the indictment against DeLay, John Colyandro, and Jim Ellis, illegal money was laundered through the Republican National Committee via the Republican National State Elections Committee.
There is no doubt that Nelson was directly involved in the scheme, though he has not been indicted. In 2003, Nelson was named political director of Bush-Cheney '04, Inc., and yesterday, the Washington Post reported that Nelson has been selected by Sen. John McCain to be a senior advisor to McCain's Straight Talk America political action committee. One supposes that, with this hiring, Nelson is somehow unindictable with regard to the DeLay money laundering affair. His addition to McCain's team "will be maximize the organization's influence and effectiveness in the 2006 midterm elections, but his hiring also makes a major mark on the 2008 landscape."

Paul Krugman from behind the Times Select paywall writes:
Mr. Bush, of course, bears primary responsibility for the state of his presidency. But there's more going on here than his personal inadequacy; we're looking at the failure of a movement as well as a man. As evidence, consider the fact that most of the conservatives now rushing to distance themselves from Mr. Bush still can't bring themselves to criticize his actual policies. Instead, they accuse him of policy sins in particular, of being a big spender on domestic programs that he has not, in fact, committed.
The actual polices conservatives can't bring themselves to criticize are the Iraq war (which they supported), the wartime tax cuts (an article of faith impervious to reality), and the "systematic dishonesty" of Bush's budgets (They knew he was lying about the budget "but they thought they were in on the con.")
So what's left? Well, it's safe for conservatives to criticize Mr. Bush for presiding over runaway growth in domestic spending, because that implies that he betrayed his conservative supporters. There's only one problem with this criticism: it's not true.
It's true that federal spending as a percentage of G.D.P. rose between 2001 and 2005. But the great bulk of this increase was accounted for by increased spending on defense and homeland security, including the costs of the Iraq war, and by rising health care costs.
Conservatives aren't criticizing Mr. Bush for his defense spending. Since the Medicare drug program didn't start until 2006, the Bush administration can't be blamed for the rise in health care costs before then. Whatever other fiscal excesses took place weren't large enough to play more than a marginal role in spending growth.
So where does the notion of Bush the big spender come from? In a direct sense it comes largely from Brian Riedl of the Heritage Foundation, who issued a report last fall alleging that government spending was out of control. Mr. Riedl is very good at his job; his report shifts artfully back and forth among various measures of spending (nominal, real, total, domestic, discretionary, domestic discretionary), managing to convey the false impression that soaring spending on domestic social programs is a major cause of the federal budget deficit without literally lying.
But the reason conservatives fall for the Heritage spin is that it suits their purposes. They need to repudiate George W. Bush, but they can't admit that when Mr. Bush made his key mistakes starting an unnecessary war, and using dishonest numbers to justify tax cuts they were cheering him on.
So there.

With the potential loss of Dolphins center Mike Pouncey for at least three months, the Miami offensive line that was going to be the center of attention this season has even more focus on it. The trenches of the Dolphins offense was going to have four new starters before Pouncey's injury, and now we're basically guaranteed to have a completely new starting five in Week 1 against the New England Patriots.
So naturally, the question becomes who will slide into Pouncey's spot at the start of the season? Will it be a guy like Nate Garner or Sam Brenner, who both have experiences filling in on the offensive line? What about a move for probable starting guard Shelley Smith, who was seen during OTAs snapping the ball? Or will it be someone that isn't on the roster yet?
Whatever the case may be, it's an intriguing question before training camp opens, and something that will be talked about for days and weeks to come. That makes it fodder for NFL analysts like Jamie Dukes, and Finsider and former Dolphins offensive lineman Keith Sims, as both joined The Finsiders in interviews with Greg Likens, and former Dolphins Troy Stradford and Chris Chambers to discuss the issue.
Replacing Pouncey for a decent amount of time will be a tall task for Miami because of his role on the line. The center is the main cog on a line. He's the guy making all the line calls, the one in control of the rest his teammates in the trenches. According to Keith Sims, that's the biggest thing in this situation. The position he plays is just so important.
"It is a different world and a different viewpoint from the center position, and a whole different level of responsibility," said Sims. "Typically the center is the quarterback of the offensive line. He'll make the line calls, he'll make the shifts, he'll figure out who the middle linebacker is, and all protections go off of that situation. It's a huge responsibility. After all of that you have to do a clean snap to your quarterback, so it's a huge deal that Mike Pouncey won't be in there to start the season or the start of training camp."
Not only is replacing Pouncey a big deal from a position standpoint, but it's also obviously because of his Pro Bowl pedigree. Pouncey does a lot of different things that centers don't always do, such as pulling out wide and making blocks down the field. His athleticism allows him to get out on the edge and seal off defenders, and not anyone can come in and replace that production immediately. His skill set is extremely rare for a center.
"You're not talking about replacing an average, non-mobile center," said Sims. "Mike Pouncey is arguably the most athletic center in the league at that position, so these are huge shoes to fill…They need to make this decision quickly, (his replacement) needs to get the maximum amount of reps."
Whoever the eventual starting five are, they'll need to become a cohesive group, and quickly. Training camp and preseason are coming on fast, and are gone in a flash. Jamie Dukes thinks that time is needed, but the hard working young players that Dolphins have make it possible as opposed to last season.
"Well, it takes years at times, but you don't have that luxury," said Dukes. "You're going to have good and bad, it's just going to take a minute. But at the same time I like where you're positioned because you got rid of some guys that necessarily couldn't play, you bring some young players in and they're going to be working hard."

We have Sam Brenner, what is the point of having a backup, if when you need one you don't use him. He may not be a Mike Pouncey, then again is anyone. I say run with Brenner, if he can't do the job then cut him and replace him. I am a Brenner fan so don't be quick to judge me.
The whole OL is learning a new SYSTEM so go out and bring someone in to backup S. BRENNER just to make sure we have delpth it,s only 4 to 5 games maybe(hopefully). Try to get someone that knows LAZORS OFF. or that has worked with LAZOR before but i don,t think this is as big a problem as we think, we will get thru it. S BRENNER capable of doing job,if not get someone …….GO PHINS
thats dumb since we already used Sam Brenner as our Center last year…he did OK, so why not use him for the first few weeks…he will have plenty of reps in practice, and during Pre-Season….
I said it before and still believe it to be true. This all happened at the best time you would want something this bad to happen. There are 28 days from today (Thursday) until the team even reports back. I would be willing to bet that Tannehill and whomever is likely to be looked at for the Center job will be back from Vacation a few days or a week early to start working together on film and the playbook. Then there is an entire training camp where the pads finally come on and whomever is snapping the ball will be tested by Starks, Mitchell, Odrick and Francis right out of the gate. Starks will test whether or not a guy is ready to go… or Miami needs to look elsewhere REAL FAST. There are 4 exhibition games to sort out the position with different teams and DT's. I am of the opinion that before Miami even talks about looking outside the team, they need to allow every guy on the line in camp who is not already tagged for a position a shot at earning the job. I think the coaches and team trusting their own guys will go a long way in building confidence and helping the team chemistry develop. Only if things start looking shaky should Miami look to FA. If you cannot trust the players you have to step in no matter what or who goes down…. Then why are they on the team to begin with..?
If Pouncey is the QB of the OL and is responsible for making all the line calls as the article states, then I would have to say he failed miserably in his duties. He as a player did very good, but he did nothing for the rest of the line as it shows for the last couple of years by our inept play at the line of scrimmage. Maybe a change is good..
Offense Line needs to be good year

Date of Stay: April, 2009
We stayed here after driving through a horrible snow and wind storm. They weren't officially open but cheerfully provided us with a site. They only had 15 AMP power but we were totally happy. We even ran out of propane that freezing night. Fortunately they had propane service. We were so happy to have landed safely that we stayed 2 nights. The people we met there were great and very accommodating.
Date of Stay: April, 2009
We spent 2 nights here and really enjoyed it. Took advantage of the clean showers and laundry. Really appreciated the excellent Wi-Fi. Folks we dealt with were great. Would gladly recommend this campground to anyone. We had an excellent pull-through site.
Date of Stay: April, 2009
Actually the availability of Pink Mountain Campground was a Godsend. We got caught in a late season snowstorm and were desperate. Lois and Bill were very supportive and made our 2 day stay perfect. The power was a bare minimum and the mud was a challenge, but I wouldn't hesitate to stay there again and recommend it (with caveats) to friends.
Date of Stay: November, 2008
Weak to non-existent internet in the fringe area of the park. Enjoyed the stay. Approach to the park was ugly looking but the site turned out to be great. Staff was very helpful.
Date of Stay: November, 2008
We intended to stay 3 nights - stayed 8. Location, site, facilities, staff, bus service, even dog walking service were all excellent. We must have arrived shortly after they got the internet issues resolved because we had the best performing Wi-Fi we have ever encountered, including our home. Loved our stay. It was a bit pricy but the location justified it for us.
Date of Stay: October, 2008
Loved the location and the camping experience. Staff was great and experience was excellent.

Equal parts Fellini and Woody Allen, Di Gregorio's follow-up to 2009's Mid-August Lunch doesn't have quite the same freshness - it's slightly less compact, despite its short running time - and is more contrived than the earlier film.
But it's a deliciously wistful and self-deprecating take on the age-old reality that men seem to get a new blast of libido just when (and doubtless because) they are getting too old to be attractive anymore.
As in the first film, the director takes the lead role. His character, bearing his own name, is barely distinguishable from that in Mid-August Lunch, in which he played a careworn 50-something Roman reluctantly stuck with looking after a quartet of ancient ladies during the summer long weekend.
Now Gianni's closer to 60 than 50 and still put-upon. In uneasy retirement, he shares an apartment and a passionless marriage with his wife (Piccolomini), daughter (played by his real-life daughter Teresa) and her slacker boyfriend.
Worse, he is at the beck and call of his gaudily painted mother (the magnificent nonagenarian Bendoni, who was his mum last time) who is quickly spending the inheritance on champagne and summons him day and night on urgent missions like adjusting her TV aerial. Certainly his life is lacking the taste suggested by the English title.
His mate Alfonso (Santagata) urges him to start chasing other women but his ventures in that regard - with his mother's live-in housekeeper; with a flirty, flighty neighbour; with the opera-singing daughter of one of his mum's poker mates - only serve to underline the encroaching invisibility that accompanies middle age.
The film is replete with cultural references that are very specifically Italian but it cleverly inverts the old wish-fulfilling cliches about the middle-aged man pulling the birds that is Hollywood's stock fantasy.
Shooting in his local neighbourhood of Trastevere (most of the last film was shot in his own apartment), he creates a set of characters and situations that are entirely believable yet just sufficiently enlarged to have comic impact.
Di Gregorio, who contorts his hangdog face to hilarious effect when trying to hide what we know he is feeling, is again perfect in the main role. It's a pleasure to see a comedy that takes real lives seriously and has a lot of fun in the process.
Stars: 3.5/5
Cast: Gianni Di Gregorio, Valeria de Franciscis Bendoni, Teresa Di Gregorio, Elisabetta Piccolomini, Alfonso Santagata
Director: Gianni Di Gregorio
Running time: 89 mins
Rating: M (drug use). In Italian with English subtitles
Verdict: Middle-age dread

Keeping up with mobile demand is something Facebook should know all about. With an iPhone app update over the weekend, many device users were thrilled, but the rest of the mobile device world was feeling a little left out. iPad users are still awaiting a dedicated Facebook app, and Android users overall have seen less attention than those that use the iPhone.
The updated Facebook app enables video viewing, posting to event walls, and posting higher-resolution photos. These are primarily focused around media-sharing, a necessary tactic for Facebook as it centralizes social interactions around this very act. So when will Facebook better leverage its widening user base with updates for their mobile apps, too?
The strategy of releasing mobile app updates and when they should be across-the-board is becoming a more intricate process for brands. The topic here is built-in marketing for a mobile app. Finding a way to manage demand for a consumer base screaming for instant gratification is the beauty and the curse of the mobile market. The fact remains, the iPhone market is still very strong and is a great place to do the research that can be applied to a wider mobile user base.
Despite the hype around record iPad and Evo sales, the raging growth of Android or the new trend towards putting mobile apps into anything with a charge, there's still a cost/benefit balance to mobile release timing, particularly as the new iPhone 4 begins to ship out. Managing multiple mobile outreach apps will only get trickier in the short-term, until larger standards around reaching consumers directly through their mobile devices are created.
The good thing for Facebook is that it's likely to be the creator of those standards. The social network's platform approach has been readily applied to every major transition the social media industry has witnessed, as long as it's been around at least. So building out its mobile platform options will be key for Facebook's future ability to remain in a dominate position. It's refreshed attention to the Android Market is a start.


text: I shot one of my friends Beretta CX4s in .40 before, it was pretty fun. I think they take the same mags as the PX4, and you can maybe mod the 96 mags (not sure if that is accurate). Those are not as expensive as you would think. I doubt Taurus has any plans for one, though, I would be one of the first in line if they did.

Got a new 3G stick, the K3805-Z, which supposedly gives broadband download speeds and better than broadband upload speeds (5.76MBit/s). Bit of a problem to get this working under Ubuntu Natty. Doesn't work out of the box.
Shows up in the Ubuntu network panel, and you can connect, but it doesn't.
Downloaded the latest Vodafone Mobile connect (2.25.01), and installed. Now the modem no longer shows up in the network panel, but I can use vodafone-mobile-connect-card-driver-for-linux to connect. Doesn't create any routing table I would recognise, but it somehow works. Beats me.
Download speed test wasn't very good, got only 1.7Mbs, but upload was 1.12Mbs, which is better than I get with my ADSL2 connection.

Serial Number: M206369
Year of Manufacture: Modern
Caliber: 12 Ga. 2 3/4" and 3"
Action Type: Semi-Auto, Tubular Magazine Fed
Markings: The right side of the receiver is marked "Heckler & Koch. Inc. Sterling Va. Made in Italy". The left side of the receiver has a side saddle which obscures most of the markings but what is visible is marked "90 Benelli Italy". The bottom of the receiver shows Italian proof marks. The left side of the barrel is marked "Benelli Armi S.P.A. Urbino Italy". The right side is marked "12 Ga. 3" For 2 3/4" or 3" Shells".
Barrel Length: 19 1/2"
Choke: The barrel is a fixed choke, it measures .720, which is "IC".
Sights / Optics: The gun is mounted with rifle sights, a fixed front sight blade and a rear sight in a dovetail slot.
Stock Configuration & Condition: The stocks are synthetic, showing just a few minor handling marks, at the front of the forend, and at the back of the buttstock. The LOP measures approx. 14" from the trigger to the back of the factory rubber buttpad. The stocks rate in about excellent overall condition.
Type of Finish: Matte
Finish Originality: All Original
Bore Condition: The bore is mirror bright with just a tiny bit of fouling to clean up. There is no apparent erosion.
Overall Condition: This gun retains about 98% of its metal finish. The balance of the finish shows just a few minor scratches / mars, on the top of the receiver, and at the muzzle. This gun shows VERY little use. There is just a small bit of fouling in the action from being fired without cleaning. The Screw heads are sharp and undamaged. The markings are clear, but some are covered by the side saddle. Overall, this gun rates in about excellent condition.
Mechanics: The action functions correctly. We did not fire this gun.
Box, Paperwork & Accessories: There is a side saddle and extended magazine tube installed.
Our Assessment: This is the most desirable tactical shotgun ever conceived. This gun has been used by all the major police departments, the military and most civilian three-gun competitors. The M1 is recoil operated and is not subject to the woes of a gas system, consequently it likes heavy loads. This gun is in little used condition. There is hardly a scratch and the bore is mirror bright (better after a cleaning). If you are a competitor or want to be one you, need this shotgun. If you want a dependable all around home security and tactical shotgun, this is it. This M1 was made by H&K. In recent years HK and Benelli separated, making this gun far more desirable than a new one. It would be hard to find another M1 Super 90 in this condition. Go for it!.
CA Legal or CA Private Party Transferable: This gun can be transferred in California.

Military Wives' Cookbook: 200 Years of Traditions, Recipes, and Remembrances
Featured Review
I was not a big history buff when I attended school, nor have I acquired an overwhelming passion for it in my adult life. The reissued version of this book, however, has proven to be an exception. To be sure, The Military Wives' Cookbook provides a huge helping of history. Not only the history of the military wife, and her role in military history, but its influence on the nation and the outcome of the various wars. Mrs. Tillery manages to do this by wrapping history in menus and recipes of today and yesterday to provide a delightfully enjoyable read. This book was previously published under the title of At Freedoms Table and is just one in a list of this authors book credits on...(read more)

**Editor's Note: Please click here for a recap of the biggest channel-impacting mergers in Q4 2013.**
IT services provider Citrix has acquired Framehawk, a solution designed to optimize the delivery of virtual desktops and applications to mobile devices.
Citrix says Framehawk will be combined with HDX technology in its XenApp and XenDesktop products to deliver a user experience that isn't impacted by adverse network conditions.
The increase of mobile users adopting tablets and smartphones, Citrix noted, is making it more of a challenge to ensure a rich virtual application and desktop user experience on Wi-Fi and cellular networks where quality may be intermittent or poor due to congestion, high packet loss and high latency. The Citrix HDX technologies in XenApp and XenDesktop combine to deliver what the company says is a high-definition experience to users of any application, on any device and over any network.
"With enterprises increasingly enabling mobility for their employees, the ability to deliver apps and desktops with the best user experience to any of the billions of devices on the market is of paramount importance," said Sudhakar Ramakrishna, SVP and general manager for Citrix's enterprise and service provider division. "As a company, we are focused on delivering the best user experience on any device, over any network. The addition of Framehawk's technology to the HDX portfolio enables Citrix to continue to lead the industry in delivering a powerful virtual desktop and application experience."
Forrester Research's David Johnson calls it a good acquisition, noting that some of Framehawk's technology will be a nice addition to Citrix's enterprise portfolio.
"Specifically, Framehawk's frame-buffering protocol – called Lightweight Framebuffer Protocol, or LFP – is designed for mobile carrier networks like 4G/LTE where there is often highly variable latency, loss, and jitter. Citrix will add it to their arsenal alongside HDX to improve the end-user experience of server-hosted Windows applications on mobile devices for XenDesktop App Edition and XenDesktop."
Johnson adds that the acquisition will be a boon for desktop-as-a-service providers' customer experience.
Framehawk's leadership and engineering teams will be integrated into Citrix's enterprise and service provider division.
