Update: I have good news and bad news. The good news is that GoDaddy says they no longer support SOPA! The bad news is that it seems GoDaddy are liars.
The Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) is a horrible idea. It threatens the Internet in the US, and thus it directly threatens my livelihood. I like how Adam Savage of MythBusters fame put it in SOPA Could Destroy the Internet as We Know It:
Make no mistake: These bills aren't simply unconstitutional, they are anticonstitutional. … If we allow Congress to pass these draconian laws, we'll be joining nations like China and Iran in filtering what we allow people to see, do, and say on the Web. And we're better than that.
Well, I found out yesterday that GoDaddy supports this awful legislation. At first I assumed it was a mistake. No tech company could get behind something like this. However, after doing my due diligence I found that it is unfortunately true. If you want to contact GoDaddy, send your emails to firstname.lastname@example.com (This is the "office of the president", the highest non-corporate level you can talk to) and/or email@example.com.
I may not be a big customer with my 32 domains, but definitely put my money where my mouth is. I just spent $256.38 to move 30 of my domains to Namecheap using the promo code BYEBYEGD and the other two will move as soon as they're 60 days old (01/30/2012). I encourage you to do the same.
Update: Huge props to Ben Huh of the Cheezburger Network for his stance against GoDaddy.
You rock Ben!

It is spammy to email press releases around willy nilly.
It can also be stupid.
I've just been sent a press release from a new media agency offering SEO and Social Media to say that they redesigned and launched a new website for [UK Tourist Attraction #56]
Great. Why did you send this Press Release to me? The digital marketing agency I work for happens to have 'media' in its name. The emailer just sent that press release to a generic alias to an email address they assumed was a press media company. Sorry; we've no interest in making a news story out of the activities of a competitor!
As it happens we've no shortage of travel clients. We have clients that sell train, plane or coach tickets to [UK Tourist Attraction #56] and we have clients who have hotels and restaurants near [UK Tourist Attraction #56].
The press release is interesting to me. I have to wonder whether [UK Tourist Attraction #56] might be doing a little extra marketing activity to promote their new website. This is a good time to ensure our travel and leisure campaigns have enough PPC budget or SEO presence related to keywords relating to [UK Tourist Attraction #56] or the city it is in.
In fact, it gets better than this, because I was the web site of [UK Tourist Attraction #56] I found that they have a micro-site to generate hotel bookings for people going to see the attraction and staying in the city. That micro-site looks to be a white label/affiliate offering from one of our client's competitors.
There are a whole load of branded booking engines on a single IP address, as it happens. I didn't just discover one affiliate working for a client's competitor; I found a whole bunch.
So, all because of this badly targeted email press release from [UK Tourist Attraction #56]'s social media and search company... our clients are now prepped to expect a possible surge of interest in the attraction and the city and one particular client (who runs their own affiliate marketing) is mulling over whether it is worth approaching any of those affiliates.
In one word: Ooops
By all means; announce a success and a website redesign warrants a press release. Just think through what's going to happen as a result of the press release, though.

July 01, 2011
Usually, NHL Trade Deadline Day and the July 1 opening of the free agency period are known as "Hockey Christmas". Today, it really feels like "Hockey Christmas When The Toys Aren't As Good".
The opening bell of NHL free agency will begin at 12 p.m. ET, and considering all of the signings and re-signings that have taken place already, we're pretty much left wondering where Brad Richards(notes) and Brent Kahn will end up.
With that expectation in mind, we needed to find a way to spice up the five hours of TSN's coverage of the "Free Agent Frenzy" if we're going to be sitting around waiting to hear what third and fourth liners are signing overpriced deals.
Behold the Puck Daddy 2011 Free Agent Frenzy Drinking Game*!
This is a surefire way to make today's events -- or lack of events -- 74-percent better.
Of course, a drinking game is even better with your input, so please feel free to add your own rules to the game in the comments.
Coming up, what you should look for today to help increase your beverage-to-hand ratio.
Take One Drink When ...
• Anyone on the TSN panel looks down at their Blackberry's.
• The Winnipeg Jets sign a free agent.
• The Phoenix Coyotes lose a free agent.
• TSN interviews a player by phone.
• Pierre McGuire calls a player a "monster."
• Pierre McGuire refers to a player by his full name (i.e. Timothy Connolly, Steven Sullivan).
• Each time the "Philadelphia Flyers" are mentioned on the TSN telecast.
• Each time the name "Brad Richards" is said on the TSN telecast.
• James Duthie says, "We have a signing to announce."
Take Two Drinks When ...
• Someone signs a contract of five years or more.
• A fake Twitter account dupes a member of the MSM.
• You fall victim to a fake Twitter account of a MSM personality.
• Florida Panthers GM Dale Tallon takes on another overpriced contract.
• TSN interviews a player by video.
• A defenseman signs a deal with a cap hit higher than that of Christian Ehrhoff(notes) ($4 million)
• Ilya Kovalchuk's(notes) contract is mentioned.
• A goaltender is signed as a free agent.
• Glen Sather overpays for for a free agent (better get ready).
Take Three Drinks When ...
• Brad Richards or Tomas Vokoun(notes) sign on Day 1.
• A player you've honestly never heard of before signs an NHL free-agent contract.
• The TSN broadcast strays away from talking free agency and discusses other topics like what Canada's 2014 Olympic team might look like.
• A player signs for more millions of dollars than he had goals scored last season.
• A member the TSN panel can't figure out how to use his iPad.
• A restricted free agent signs an offer sheet.
• Hugh Jessiman(notes) cashes in on his two NHL games from this past season and signs on Day 1.
• The TSN panel gets so bored with the day's events that they leave the set early to their cottages.
*(Ed. Note: Puck Daddy, of course, in no way endorses abuse of alcohol, consumption of alcohol by anyone under the legal drinking age in their region and, without a doubt, the operation of an automobile or any machine while under the influence of alcohol. These games are listed for entertainment purposes and we don't take responsibility for any result of their application. To sum it up, don't be a knucklehead and have fun!)

Special Agent Aloysius Pendergast is one of the most interesting characters in suspense fiction today. He is the creation of co-authors Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child. These authors have written 12 novels in which Pendergast appears. Aloysius X. Pendergast is a Special Agent of the FBI from New Orleans. He is described as corpse pale, with white blonde hair, silver eyes, is fairly tall, but has a slight frame. He wears only black suits, and drives a pair of 1959 Silver Rolls Royces. He is in the FBI but only takes a salary of $1 per year, as he comes from old Louisiana money. He has been in the Special Forces, holds a double doctorate from Oxford, and is also an expert in the eastern art of Chongg Ran. A master of disguise, Pendergast has the ability to solve puzzles that rivals Sherlock Holmes. We met him first in Relic ,1995, followed by Reliquary, 1997, both set in the New York Museum of Natural History. The newest Pendergast book is Two Graves, 2012, which moves from New York's Dakota building to the jungles of Brazil. The books often have a supernatural aspect to them and are always page turners. So pick up the first Pendergast and enjoy!

hat remake (Posted 8th February 2012)
After careful consideration I have decided 2 remake & alter my Hatter costume as I felt it
why did I do this LOL (Posted 7th February 2012)
Well...the remake has comenced.... oh boy!
Stage two (Posted 24th March 2010)
After running a 'stunt double' version of the costume at the Alice in Wonderland world Premiere, I was able to see how the costume would fair and would the make-up hold.
Still working on the trousers and Jacket. I have decided to costume make the material for the waistcoat as I did not like the paint job on the waiscoat I had done. Also for safety I have decided to shorten the needles going into the hat.
Also the wig needs work.... way toooo Bonkers,, could bearly get the hat on.
Finishing the Hat (Posted 23rd February 2010)
Now that the base was complete I needed to complete all the details to finally finish it.
I hand painted and made the scarf that goes around it.
I found some long frniture needles that worked well as hat pins. I added all the decorations to them by hand and painted them.
Finally finishing off with the hat card. This was made with craft foam which was painted in acrylic paint and varnished.
The hat (Posted 23rd February 2010)
The next task was the big one. I was dreading but also looking forward to this one as its one of the main focal points of the costume.
I was debating how to do this for a while. In the end settled on buying a fancy dress top hat that I could take apart and then work from the template.
Found the fabric but it was more expensive than I planned so I better not mess this one up.
I took apart the shop brought hat to create templates out of. Using a camper mat I made new pieces. I then matched the pieces in the fabric and hand sewed them together.
I'm pleased with the result.
Started. The tie ;) (Posted 23rd February 2010)
Finally started after taking some time to study and research the fabrics I needed.
I started first with the tie. I got a piece of satin from Sephirayne's fabric stock and hand painted on all the design using silk paints. It took some time but the effect worked really well.

Nothing Wrong With Avery Being Punished
by SENShobo on 12/03/08 at 07:31 PM ET
Comments (0)
Avery shot his mouth off, not a soul the least bit surprised.
The reaction to his suspension, however, has been shocking, in that him receiving one shocked or upset anyone at all.
Was it the wrong thing to say, was it detrimental to the NHL, does Avery need to have a talk with Bettman and merit a suspension? Yes, on all counts.
It's sad that some cannot see the objectification of women in that comment of his, but whether or not it offends you, it offends plenty of others. Women, tragically, remain the largest group (I'll guess that half the planet is female) that can still be marginalized and disrespected, and it is sad that it could go so unnoticed, or that it would have had to have been a comment aimed at a smaller minority within the population to get a bigger reaction.
Those comments, so premeditated, are nothing new from Avery, and a suspension is warranted. There are far more clever methods to agitate one's opponents; just ask another well-despised pest, Jarkko Ruutu:
"You have to be two different people—on and off the ice," Ruutu said.
"All he wants is attention. The owner said it right."
That would be Dallas Stars owner Tom Hicks.
"I completely support the league's decision to suspend Sean Avery," Hicks said in a statement.
"Had the league not have suspended him, the Dallas Stars would have. This organization will not tolerate such behavior, especially from a member of our hockey team. We hold our team to a higher standard and will continue to do so."
On and off the ice is an important distinction to make, not that Avery's comments should be accepted on the ice, but that Andre Roy and Adam Mair are two players who have both been suspended for taking on-ice tension off the ice, storming to their opponents' dressing rooms after the game, laying down a few angry but not offensive words, and both being punished (although not equally) for it. Interference is called when you hit a player without the puck, unsportsmanlike conduct when you cause trouble after the whistle's been blown, and this instant is no different, taking things too far off the ice, and in an unacceptable way. Even his own comments months ago about Jarome Iginla being boring prove that you can rile people up without crossing lines.
There's a good run up of past incidents with Avery on TSN:
2005: Makes comments about French Canadian players who wear visors after being hit by Denis Gauthier. "I think it was typical of most French guys in our league with a visor on, running around and playing tough and not back anything up." Avery would later apologize.
2005: Avery denies saying anything wrong after being accused by Georges Laraque of making a racial slur. The NHL looks into the incident but does not take action due to lack of evidence.
2006: Avery argues with Ducks announcer Brian Hayward. The forward refers to Hayward as an "embarrassment", "(terrible) announcer", and a "(terrible) player".
2006: The Kings send Avery home for last three games of the season.
2007: Avery is fined ($2,500) after a pre-game confrontation with Toronto's Darcy Tucker.
He has clearly done this before, been punished for it before, and it's far from the first time that the League has taken past precedents with respect to incidents and parties involved when increasing the punishment.
The New York Post's Larry Brooks gave many reasons as to why he felt this was a bad move, but it's not hard to see past them.
Yes, it seems odd that, after tonight's game in Edmonton, Avery will have been suspended for two games for his comments, longer than Pronger was suspended for a pair of hits to the head during the 2007 Western Conference Finals against Detroit and the Cup Finals against Ottawa, receiving a single game for each incident. I have argued before that those were poorly meted out punishments, and that the larger stage of the Stanley Cup Playoffs and Finals should merit longer suspensions, not shorter ones.
What remains is that that is in the past, this is in the present. Escalating his suspension based on all past cases involving him is entirely appropriate, and a sign of the League taking things seriously. Just as they suspended Ruutu two games for an elbow to the Habs' Lapierre, and then escalated it to five games when the Isles' Pock did the same to Ottawa's Shannon, resulting in a concussion, the League has been showing sound judgment and a fair judicial hand.
No, I won't argue that the League has been perfect in its judgments in my eyes, but this is showing that they are aiming for consistency, both in punishment, and in actually giving it, rather than letting incidents slide. While it will be at least a two-game suspension, this has so far been due to the fact that Avery's continued antics warrant him sitting down with Bettman. Had he made these remarks on the first day of a four day break (not that he could have in this incident), he would have been suspended in the same way, seen Bettman in the same way, but perhaps all that would have transpired before a single Dallas game, and he may only have gotten a single game suspension. He chose a very poor time, right before back-to-back games, to choose his words, and the blame for much of the length of the suspension lies with him for that, and with him for everything else he's done in his career.
If the League backs down, and goes back to letting incidents slide, going light on its star players when they commit infractions, then there is nothing wrong with going back to criticism. But in this case, the League is showing that past records matter, just as they do everywhere else in law. Now if only mens rae (the guilty mind) appeared to matter just as much to the League as actus reus (the guilty act), but that's another discussion for another day.

About SENShobo
Native of Northern California. Hockey fan since 1998... sort of... there's a hiatus in there that I still can't explain.
I want to know about anything and everything related to the sport and the spectacle. I watch, I react, I write it down.
My interest in the Sharks was initially a matter of geographic convenience and regional loyalty because that seemed to be how it worked. I had no prior interest (at all-- AT ALL) in professional sports of any kind. When I met hockey, it might have set off a chain reaction of general sports fandom. It hasn't, I don't think it will. At all.
Since then, that interest developed into full blown (mostly sort of usually almost completely) exclusive loyalty to the Sharks.
I started blogging a couple years ago on wordpress. I still occasionally put things there that I don't think fit here because they are not about the Sharks. Wherever my words wander, here on Kuklas Korner, they will (usually) hang on to a teal thread.
I can be found in cyberspace on Twitter @petshark47, or emailed at firstname.lastname@example.com

A real woman. A real story. A real triumph. Julia Roberts stars as Erin Brockovich, a feisty young mother who fought for justice any way she knew how. Desperate for a job to support herself and her three children, she convinces attorney Ed Masry (Albert Finney) to hire her, and promptly stumbles upon a monumental law case against a giant corporation. Now, Erin's determined to take on this powerful adversary even though no law firm has dared to do it before. And while Ed doesn't want anything to do with the case, Erin won't take "no" for an answer. So the two begin an incredible and sometimes hilarious fight that will bring a small town to its feet and a huge company to its knees.Much will be made of Julia Roberts's wardrobe in Erin Brockovi

Notting Hill (Collector's Edition)
Anna Scott (Julia Roberts) is the world's most famous movie star. William Thacker (Hugh grant) owns a travel bookstore in the quaint neighborhood of Notting Hill. When their paths cross, the couple comes to face the ultimate question: can two people fall in love with the whole world watching?They don't really make many romantic comedies like Notting Hill anymore–blissfully romantic, sincerely sweet, and not grounded in any reality whatsoever. Pure fairy tale, and with a huge debt to Roman Holiday, Notting Hill ponders what would happen if a beautiful, world-famous person were to suddenly drop into your life unannounced and promptly fall in love with you. That's the crux of the situation for William Thacker (Hugh Grant), who owns a travel

The GRcade Shop is exclusively run by myself at BJUM digital design studio in Lewes, East Sussex to provide cool merch to GRcade. It helps support my involvement in the forum, and from time to time help cover running costs. Head over to http://grcade.co.uk/shop/ to add things to your basket, simply pay with PayPal or bank transfer and I handle the rest. Shipping to UK and Ireland within 10 working days.
Each item is handmade by me using a variety of cutting edge, high quality processes that ensure nothing leaving my studio is anything but an awesome keepsake to bring GRcade into the outside world. Each item you buy really helps me out and allows me to continue running GRcade.
At the moment there are a few key items on offer:
I only use 100% preshrunk colour-fast heavy cotton shirts that I would wear myself. The graphics are a precision cut vinyl process that do not crack or fade and usually outlast the shirt itself, so this is not a cheap throwaway shirt you might get at a small stall or event somewhere, it is a piece of clothing that should last a long time and is superior to most printed shirts.
Pac & Invader Emblem
Only £11.99
Colour or Black/White Logo
Only £11.99
Larger, As In the Drink Larger Pint Glass
The eponymous "Larger, as in the drink Larger" glass is hand etched by myself with a permanent, high quality pearlescent finish similar to sandblasting, that is 100% dishwasher safe and will never fade away. It has a certain subtlety and etched on authentic, best-in-trade Arcoroc tempered (hardened glass, up to 5x more shatter resistant than typical glass. The glass is thicker with a weighted base and good formation. It comes in two styles, tulip or conical shape.
Only £13.99
Vinyl decals (sometimes called stickers but much better than a paper sticker) are great for decorating things like laptops, windows, cars, or pretty much anything you want to stick them to. At the moment I have the GRcade logo cut in full precision from the vector files, available in black, white or crimson red (very close to the "GRcade" red). Adherence is to basically anything, resistant to heat, sun, oil, dirt, water and most things, with a durability of up to 10 years indoors and 5 years outdoors (for example on a vehicle).
1ft GRcade Logo Bumper Decal
Only £2.99
I'm still looking to expand the range of items to include mugs, keyrings, more shirt and glass designs etc., but if the meantime you have any ideas or custom colour/text/design requests please feel free to post and let me know and I can probably make it happen!
Cheers for your support.
Previous Updates
Update 19th February 2015

The much anticipated Larger pint glasses will be on sale NEXT WEEK after considerable "R&D" (ie I design and etch them myself!!). It will be available as both conical and tulip shape, the tulip will be slightly more expensive as it is very difficult to do, but this means I can offer a cheaper glass for those that like that shape anyway.

Green Gecko originally wrote:Who is interested in some vinyl GRcade stickers or tshirt prints?
I'm a professional vinyl graphic cutter, basically you know these as the sharp edged transfer stickers with very high quality block colour. Common for sticking on stuff like skate/snowboards, bikes, cars and even game consoles or phones. They can be as small or as massive as you like. I actually produce lettering for gallery walls. These are precision machine cut to exact curves and edges.
For example you could have the GRcade logo on your wall, car window or whatever you want, they will adhere to virtually any flat surface. Or I could create some designs based on memes.
I can also design and commission (or accept designs) to be professionally screen printed onto tshirts, canvas or pretty much any flat/fabric surface.
I'm thinking of opening a small shop to raise some funds. What do you think? And how much might you pay for a product like this?

The grave of a war casualty has been traced to St Florence.
Harold Berkeley Beynon, of Penally, who lost his life following the First World War, recently had his death accepted for commemoration by the Commonwealth War Graves Commission (CWGC).
Now evidence has come to light that Harold's final resting place is in the Beynon family plot at St Florence churchyard.
Harold survived death, in August 1915, on the beaches of Suvla Bay on the Gallipoli peninsula, only to contract malaria when the remnants of his battalion were transferred to Salonika. He was repatriated for treatment, but his service papers, uncovered by Steve John of the Pembroke County War Memorial Project, show that he was eventually discharged from the Army in 1919 due to malaria. Soon after, on May 6th, 1919, Harold died of meningitis and encephalitis.
Enquiries made by Rev Shirley Rayner of the congregation at St Florence failed either to find records relating to the burial of Harold at the church or make contact with any living relations.
Said Mr John: "We eventually managed to locate burial records at the Pembrokeshire Records Office in Haverfordwest showing that Harold was buried in St Florence churchyard on May 10th, 1919. It means that we can now formally ask the CWGC to complete their commemoration records to show where he is buried."
"I am grateful to Rev Rayner and to members of her church their help in ensuring that Harold receives the tribute he should have received 90 years ago.
"As we approach the centenary of the start of the First World War in 2014, it would be great if on reading this a family member or someone who knows the family could contact me via email@example.com and provide additional information on Harold or even a photograph of him."

Pitt quarterback Tom Savage said Wednesday he took the ImPACT test twice after suffering concussion symptoms during the Virginia game Sept. 28, and the results were good.
The ImPACT test is used universally to measure recognition skills before and after a person has a head injury.
"I'm healthy, ready to go," said Savage, who hasn't missed a practice this week after taking off last week when Pitt was off.
Savage said he experienced the most serious symptoms a few plays after he was hit in the head by Virginia linebacker Daquan Romero at the end of a 14-yard scramble.
"I don't think it was that hit exactly that put me out," he said. "A combination of them took a toll."
Savage said he had a headache the day after the game.
"The day after a little sore, but I think that's after every game," he said. "But the day after that I was good, then I was relaxing."
Savage, 6-foot-5, 230 pounds, said he recognizes that he must guard against such hits.
"I'm not Michael Vick or Johnny Football," he said. "I just have to get down, get as many yards as I can and protect myself."

Cindy: "When I first moved down to the beach a little over 9 years ago, Erika was one of the first girls I met. We were in a Bible study together and I remember meeting at her house and me wandering off into her office and drooling over all of her fabrics and pictures. It's been so fun to watch her career take off!
Erika first did our master bedroom 6 years ago and everything about it was perfect. She is so fun to work with and I always love everything she brings to the table. When Bryan and I bought this house, of course Erika was a must! … It just took a little convincing to get Bryan to agree to the whole house. She helped me from the ground up make my house better than I had imagined…I think Bryan was as pleased as I was.
So when it came time to move Mae and Walter out of their cribs and into big beds, I went back to Erika for help. I know she is ready for me to stop asking! I sent her several different ideas I found on Pinterest and she took it from there.
Of course, this all would not be possible without Erika so we asked her to share her thoughts on the process and how she found inspiration! Take it away, Erika!"
Have to admit, her room was my favorite part of these upgrades. Mae's bedroom already had great bones.. gray-green walls and pink grassclothed ceiling. I chose an upholstered bed for her in a small scale pink leopard print like dot. The raspberry color worked perfectly with the ikat stripe fabric we used on the bolster. Couldn't resist two monogrammed shams from Gramercy Home. The pink lamps were existing, we just doubled them up on the dressers/nightstands. The art over Mae's bed are framed pages from a children's book. The artwork is quirky and fun- it's children dressed as birds. We framed them with ivory linen mats and bamboo frames.

Walter's Room
Much of Barron's old furniture got shifted to Walter's room. Cindy kept thinking Walter was getting the short end of the stick, but I saw his sweet face when he first saw his "big boy room" and I can assure you it felt brand new and exciting to him. The bed is a family heirloom and it's scale and lines add just the right amount of "antique" to the room. The juxtaposition of the lucite framed boats above the bed strikes a great balance that keeps the room feeling fresh. I was so thrilled that his chair still fit in the room, it anchors the corner and the polkadot pillow brings a fun twist.
What is so great about this room (well, all the rooms really) is the natural light. Nothing creates a cheerful space quite like lots of natural light. We repainted the walls a light gray-blue, moved art around (hung the ship over the bed), new bedsides and lamps, and he got a new (to him) bed. The bed from the guest room became Barron's bed. I love when pieces can be repurposed, redressed and look completely different. We used a combination of stripes for the accent pillows. A big lumbar pillow with grommets and rope ties has a nautical feel without being too themey. The red and blue striped pillows bring in a fun punch of red, and fresh white linens and a white quilted coverlet make everything thing feel crisp. The antique brass lamps add a classic and sophistical twist.

This was such a fun project and my hope is that these precious children make many memories in these rooms!

The kitchen, as the traditional saying goes, is the heart of the home: not only a place for cooking but dining and entertaining, too. As a result, many homeowners now give a lot of attention to the design of their kitchen, now spending an average of £8,000, including the cost of appliances such as a dishwasher.
When you are spending this sort of money on a new kitchen, it is important to ensure you come up with the perfect design, not only to suit your personal taste, but also to make the most of the space. If space is limited, the right design can make all the difference and give you a modern, practical, attractive kitchen with all mod cons including a dishwasher, something usually passed on owing to an adequate lack of room.
Making the most of your wall space
With a small kitchen area that has limited floor space, you should utilise wall space. Rather than focusing on having cupboards and units under the work surface, opt for wall-mounted units. This will leave you with more room under your work surfaces for appliances such as your dishwasher. You can also use your wall space for hooks, where you can hang utensils so that they're not taking up valuable worktop space.
While reducing floor-standing units and cupboards means that appliances like your dishwasher can fit comfortably under your work surfaces, you also need to think about space for your pots and pans. Rather than taking up your workspace or cupboard space, you can look at fitting shelves, which can help to save space and be used for spice jars, utensils, cookbooks and mugs.
Saving room with appliances
Appliances take up a lot of room in the kitchen, so it is worth looking at ways you can save space by boxing clever when it comes to your white goods - like your dishwasher. Putting your washing machine under the work surface space can save you some room but what about your fridge freezer? Obviously, a standard fridge freezer won't fit, so instead you could consider opting for a separate fridge and freezer, both of which could slide snugly under the work surfaces, positioned next to one another for practicality.
Using the right furniture
Choosing the right furniture is another important point when designing a kitchen with limited space. For example, if you have a table and chairs in your small kitchen space, this can waste a lot of valuable space. Instead, you could consider fitting a breakfast bar up against spare wall and invest in some comfortable and stylish bar stools.
Placement of appliances
There are some appliances that need to be in your kitchen for practical purposes, such as your dishwasher and your fridge. However, you may want to consider finding another home for appliances that do not necessarily need to be in the kitchen, like your washing machine and dryer. If you have a utility area in your home or even an outhouse in the garden, you can consider these for your washer/dryer, thus saving additional space in your kitchen for other appliances.

Tested OS/Browser:
win 2000 pro(sp4)/ IE6
Tested build: jre-6u1-b01
Can't use keypad to play the game (simulate game actions). It is a regression, compatibility issue with jre-6-fcs and MS VM. The problem starts to occur in 6u1-b01.
Steps to reproduce:
1) Install jre-6u1-b01 into the test system
2) Using IE browser to load the game applet
3) Applet should be loaded. Follow instructions to start the game.
In 6u1-b01, you can't use any of:
Left arrow to rotate left
Right arrow to rotate right
Up arrow to forward
Space to shoot
In short, you can't use keypad to play the game as instructed. The game works fine using jre-6-fcs and MSVM.
This regression issue affects many client game applets from different sites (when applet games use keypad to simulate, operate game actions). Hence its priority is raised to P1 as must fix in 6u1.
We have noticed the same issue on following applets:
- http://www.permadi.com/java (Alien Troopers) --> the game controls are not working
- http://www.pogo.com (pogo.com - 3-Point Showdown) --> When used 'S' key to grab the ball or 'spacebar' to interact with applet, functionality is not

this is a regression for fix for 6458497 (Reopen #4841881: Alt tab with Windows L&F moves
focus to the application menubar). In that fix we do not allow to set native focus if
current foreground window is not Java one. In our case foreground window is browser's
window and we do not request focus. But the check is too restrictive, it should check if
current foreground window created in another process.
So, the fix is rather simple, but for 6u1 it would be safer to simple back out the original fix :(
Most probably this is the same issue as 6506743 and 6503816.

At least 50 more markets to have AT&T 4G LTE service before the year ends
0. phoneArena posted on 21 Aug 2013, 04:46
AT&T announced on Tuesday that at least 50 more markets are going to be covered by 4G LTE before the end of the year. Currently, the carrier offers LTE service in 370 markets covering 225 million people; by the end of the year, those figures are expected to reach 400 markets and 270 million people. AT&T currently trails Verizon which already has over 400 markets covered by 4G LTE...
This is a discussion for a news. To read the whole news, click here

Poke fun and call them evil but AT&T is chugging out LTE a lot faster than other carriers did in addition to already having HSPA+.
2. JDogg5281 (Posts: 74; Member since: 09 Aug 2012)
Tmobile turned on more networks with LTE faster than AT&T did with a faster HSPA+. AT&T has more networks dont get me wrong but didnt deploy them as fast as Tmobile
3. WirelessCon (Posts: 311; Member since: 11 May 2010)
No T-mobile in much of the nation. T-mobile is small potatoes.
I like potatoes.
5. nnjerzy (Posts: 126; Member since: 19 Jun 2013)
I totally agree tmobile did turn on more and faster than verizon & att...tmobile lte is extremely fast
6. JGuinan007 (Posts: 692; Member since: 19 May 2011)
Where do you get your information from? T-mo still is wayyyyyy behind verison in LTE markets and wayyyy behind AT&T also and their HSPA+ is the same speed as AT&Ts granted T-mo did achieve that 1st after AT&T already deployed LTE in all major cities
8. JDogg5281 (Posts: 74; Member since: 09 Aug 2012)
Actually att hspa+ speed is 21mbps while tmobile has hspa+ speed is 42mbps... tmobile has the faster hspa+..so some what of a difference. Tmobile flipped on 116 metropolitan areas in 4 months, no one has done it that fast. Yes At&T has more Lte coverage but they didnt deploy it that fast
4. PhoneCritic (Posts: 937; Member since: 05 Oct 2011)
AT&T how about Suffolk county Long Island NY? We would like some LTE love too! it seems that queens the city and the other tree boroughs get it Nassau county gets it all other parts of NY upstate are getting but a heavy populated ares like Suffolk county you ignore?

Friday's Good Morning America devoted a segment to something called "bubble-sitting" in which homeowners sell their home, rent an apartment and hope for real estate prices to decline so they can buy back into the market at a lower price. Charlie Gibson was about to explain why he prefers owning to renting when GMA's real estate contributor, Barbara Corcoran, zinged the modest Gibson.
Charlie Gibson: "I must say I'm an advocate of ownership, because I think there's a certain--"
Barbara Corcoran: "That's because you're rich, you can buy a good home. (laughter) It's true."
Gibson: "Well, I'm very fortunate in that I can--"
Corcoran: "Very fortunate."
Gibson: "It's all relative. But, but, but there's a certain psychic comfort in having, in walking into a place and saying 'I own this, it's mine.' It's not the bank's, it's not some guy down the street that I'm sending a check for, you know, a few hundred thousand dollars to every month. It's mine. So, I gather in this whole thing, you've unnerved me."
Corcoran: "I'm so sorry."
Gibson managed to finish his question: "In the overall scope of things you're, you're not a believer in this bubble, bubble business?"
About 20 minutes later, Claire Shipman continued the joke as a transition out of the 8:00 news segment, "Forbes magazine is out with its list of the world's billionaires....And, Charlie, I guess if we're to believe Barbara Corcoran you're almost on that list."
Robin Roberts: "Claire, you were paying attention. (to Charlie) You are not going to be able to live that down."
A red-faced Gibson begged: "Let's get right to the weather."
So how much money does it take to embarrass Charlie? According to New York Magazine he was paid $7 million in 2005. He's listed ninth from the bottom.

ROSENBERG, Texas - The owner of a popular Rosenberg restaurant slapped with a lawsuit after that cyclospora outbreak is now talking.
Nearly 40 people in Fort Bend County have tested positive, and the health department says several of them ate at Bob's Taco Station.
The owner of the restaurant says he hasn't seen the lawsuit, but he says he and employees are helping the health department any way they can.
Meanwhile, investigators from the Centers for Disease Control are in Fort Bend County, trying to figure out just how the outbreak started.
"This is not a 'Bob's' problem," said Bob Alanis, owner of Bob's Taco Station. Alanis said it is a nationwide problem.
"Unfortunately, there's a bad batch of produce that came up through the Fort Bend County area, which other restaurants and grocery stories have purchased and used, for customers to consume," he explained.
Local 2 first told you about a lawsuit filed against the restaurant, and two of its suppliers, by a couple in Fort Bend County. A spokesperson for the Fort Bend County Health Department told Local 2 that inspectors are working to determine the exact source of the outbreak. They said Bob's Taco Station does have a handful of cases linked to the cyclospora cases, but the restaurant is not the common link in most of the cases.
The department asked for the restaurant's help in the investigation because it is a locally owned business.
"We were the only ones to step up and provide this information, which these resources were available to everyone from the community, other businesses in the community, to provide the CDC and station officials," said Alanis.
Cyclospora is a parasite typically spread through tainted produce. The best way to avoid it at home is to wash your produce thoroughly.
There are currently 36 lab-confirmed cases of cyclospora in Fort Bend County, and eight probable cases.

Royal Oak
Narcotics team arrests alleged heroin dealer
By Chris Jackett
Posted January 24, 2013
Police arrested three suspects following a drug investigation in the heart of downtown.
The Oakland County Sheriff's Narcotics Enforcement Team (NET), which is a 14-agency task force that includes Royal Oak, arrested the three men at about 7 p.m. Jan. 14 at a house in the 1000 block of East Fourth Street, where one of the suspects lived.
The trio was arraigned Jan. 17 at the 44th District Court in Royal Oak for a variety of charges related to alleged drug sales, cocaine possession and felony firearm.
According to Sheriff's Office Lt. Joe Quisenberry, NET commander, undercover county detectives had been purchasing less than 50 grams of heroin hand to hand from suspect Brian Gillette, 27, of Royal Oak, for three months after receiving a tip about drug sales in October 2012.
"An undercover officer purchased heroin hand to hand on three separate occasions and, on the third occasion, we made the bust," said Quisenberry.
The first two purchases, according to Quisenberry, took place at Gillette's house on Fourth Street, located four blocks east of the Royal Oak Police Department, and at The Rock on Third, which is almost directly across the street from the police station.
Undercover detectives from the task force learned that Gillette's supplier would be present at the third meet-up Jan. 14 at Gillette's house, according to Quisenberry. That's when Gillette and two others were arrested. The other two men arrested were Eric J.W. Porter, 41, of unknown origins, and Sheldon R. Matthews, 44, of Detroit.
Detectives seized a loaded handgun, heroin and crack cocaine from Matthews, as well as crack from Porter, Quisenberry said. In all, the three men face a combined eight charges in court.
Gillette faces three counts of delivering heroin less than 50 grams, Porter faces one count of cocaine possession less than 25 grams, and Matthews faces one count of delivering heroin, one count of delivering cocaine — both less than 50 grams — and two counts of felony firearm.
Quisenberry said due to the nature of the drugs, there were no stockpiles at the house, although the drugs seized were valued at a total of about $5,000.
"We've been purchasing for three months," Quisenberry said. "Heroin is not a drug that is kept in high amounts. It's a street-level drug."
Each count of possession of less than 50 grams with intent to deliver could result in a penalty of up to 20 years in jail, fine of up to $25,000 or both. Each count of possession of less than 50 grams without the intent to deliver could result in up to four years in jail, a fine of up to $25,000 or both. The felony firearms charges are punishable by up to five years in prison or a $2,500 fine, or a fine of up to $5,000 for previously convicted felons.
Matthews does not have a prior criminal history; however, both Gillette and Porter do, Quisenberry said. Gillette reportedly had a prior out-of-state drug offense and a charge of operating a vehicle while intoxicated in Michigan, while Porter reportedly had prior cocaine delivery and weapons charges, as well as a current friend of the court warrant from the 3rd Circuit Court in Detroit, according to Quisenberry.
All three men were scheduled for a pre-exam conference at 9 a.m. Jan. 25 in front of district court Judge Derek Meinecke. No court-appointed lawyer had been confirmed for Porter as of 3 p.m. Jan. 24, and Gillette's attorney, Craig Daly, was unavailable for comment Jan. 24.
Defense attorney Arnold Weiner, representing Matthews, said he planned to enter a not-guilty plea Jan. 25.
"I think the facts are going to show that he did not have two guns, but just one gun, and he has a (concealed pistol license) and no prior criminal history," Weiner said. "The allegation that he was attempting to shuttle the heroin and cocaine is unfounded. Basically, this man was caught in the wrong place at the wrong time."

INCOMING Sydney FC coach Frank Farina took plenty of positives but will be sweating on the fitness of star player Alessandro Del Piero after the Sky Blues' scoreless draw with Melbourne Heart on Sunday.
Farina, who arrived at the club on Friday, watched from the stands as the Sky Blues snapped a four-game losing streak at Allianz Stadium.
While caretaker Steve Corica was officially in charge, Farina made his presence felt, having the final say on selection and addressing the players before and during the match before taking the reins this week.
Among his priorities will be deciding how to manage Italian superstar Del Piero, who had to be substituted in the 70th minute after tweaking his troublesome right hamstring.
The 38-year-old will be sent for scans on Tuesday, and Farina faces the prospect of being without his best player for his first game as head coach, away to Wellington next Sunday.
''I think it's more tight, cramping sort of, in the hamstring so we'll have to wait and see from Tuesday onwards, see how the MRI looks and go from there,'' Corica said.
While Del Piero's departure to the bench took the sting out of Sydney's attack, Farina would have been delighted to see Sydney keep a clean sheet, having conceding a whopping 16 goals in their previous four games.
And Corica backed the former Socceroos coach to build on a much-improved performance from the last-placed Sky Blues.
''He said himself there were a lot of positives come out of the game,'' Corica said. ''But he's going to come in and make changes.
''Things will change. He'll put his stamp on the team, especially with the work rate, and I think if we do that I think we're going to be better off for it and we'll get results.''
Melbourne Heart coach John Aloisi was fuming over a fierce tackle by Sydney FC fullback Fabio that injured teenager Ben Garuccio. Aloisi slated the standard of refereeing on the day.
The Brazilian defender let fly with a dangerous and mistimed tackle late in the game that left 17-year-old Garuccio in agony. Medical staff were called on to the pitch. Garuccio will undergo scans for a possible fractured tibia.
The incident occurred in front of the Heart's bench, and Aloisi was irate that Fabio escaped without punishment. "Not good, not good at all," Aloisi said. ''… Not even a yellow card."

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 18/3/2014 (1251 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
When it comes to setting sporting goals, Rebecca Wilson Abreu keeps on raising the bar.
The 12-year-old Windsor Park resident recently turned out for the Winnipeg Blue team at the 2014 Manitoba Winter Games in Morden, Stanley and Winkler, competing in several different disciplines against opponents in her age group from across the province on March 4 at the weeklong event.
"I enjoyed the experience and it seemed a lot like the Olympics, especially the opening ceremonies. Although we were from different clubs, everyone supported each other and I feel I tried my best," said Rebecca, who is a member of the St. Boniface-based Panthers Gymnastics Club.
She competed in various categories at the Winter Games and placed 5th in the Uneven Bars Provincial Stream and the Balance Beam Provincial Stream, finished 7th in the All Around Provincial Stream, came in 8th in the Vault Provincial Stream and placed 11th in the Floor Exercise Provincial Stream.
Already a relative veteran on the gymnastics mat, Wilson Abreu has been participating in the sport since the age of three. And the Collège Béliveau student is also involved in the local competitive soccer scene, having most recently turned out for the Bonivital U12 girls' developmental team in both a defensive and midfield role.
Proud mom Colleen praised her daughter's commitment to both sports and emphasized how gymnastics has benefited Rebecca's fitness.
"She's able to cross over and do both sports, which is great, because gymnastics is an individual sport as opposed to a team sport," Colleen said. "It improves her core balance, strength, flexibility, and it's a good cardiovascular workout."
"I like how it works my flexibility," Rebecca added, noting gymnastics coach Katey Page has been a big influence in her life. "How do I stay in shape? I stretch a lot, as much as I can, for my splits, which is important, so I don't pull anything. I also enjoy working out."
Rebecca noted she enjoys all of the various gymnastic disciplines, but probably likes the bars and the beam the best.
Considering she has been associated with the Panthers for most of her life, Rebecca said the club has become an extension of her biological family.
"Everybody there is really nice, and I've been there since I was little. My friends are really nice, and they cheer me on. In a way, it's like having another family."
According to the club's website, it currently provides programming for more than 800 members, and offers training for elite and provincial level competitive gymnasts, as well as offering recreational programs for children aged two and up. The club, which celebrated its 45th anniversary in 2011, has a 15,000 square-foot building on Marion Street, which is billed as the largest and most equipped gymnastics facility in the province.

Kennedy Half Dollars
The Franklin half dollar was introduced in 1948, and would probably have continued in circulation well into the 1960s and beyond were it not for the assassination of President John F. Kennedy on November 22, 1963. While a shocked nation mourned, some considered steps that could be taken to help it heal. One of those people was Mint director Eva Adams. Just three days after the national tragedy, on November 25, she contacted Chief Engraver Gilroy Roberts with some news: The Treasury department was going to ask Congress to pass a bill authorizing the slain president's portrait on one of the nation's silver coins—Roberts should begin work on a design so the Mint would be ready. Two days later, after learning that Mrs. Kennedy did not like the idea of displacing Washington's portrait on the quarter (with their portraits of FDR, dimes were obviously out of the question), Adams gave Roberts some more direction: The coin would be the half dollar, and the presidential coat of arms would go on the coin's reverse. Roberts tasked Frank Gasparro to design that side of the coin, and two rounds of proofs for the coin's final design were submitted to Mrs. Kennedy and Treasury Secretary Dillon during December. Congress passed a bill authorizing the new coin on December 30, 1963, and the first coins minted in Denver and Philadelphia were shipped on March 5, 1964.
More than 425 million Kennedy half dollars were minted that year, and each had the same silver content as the Franklin coins that preceded them (.36169 ounces per coin). Of these, the 100,000 or so Kennedy half dollars with "accented" hair command a premium over the rest. In fact, circulated 1964 Kennedy half dollars are more sought after than other Kennedy half dollars of the 1960s, even though the mintage in 1965, for example, is much lower. That's because from 1965 through 1970, Kennedy half dollars were silver clad (which is a bit of a misnomer since the insides of the coins also contained some silver), reducing the total silver net weight to just .1479 ounces.
Kennedy half dollars minted from 1971 to the present, with the exception of bicentennial half dollars in 1976, contain no silver at all, which does not mean they are entirely lacking in numismatic value. For example, in 1974, some of the 79 million half dollars minted in Denver have a double-die obverse, which can usually be spotted on the words "WE TRUST." In 1976, to celebrate the bicentennial of the United States, the presidential seal was replaced by a view of Independence Hall, designed by Seth Huntington. These bicentennial half dollars were actually minted in 1975 and 1976, but there is no way to distinguish the coins from each other since they all bear the same date, 1776-1976. And even though as many as half of the 11 million silver-clad versions of these coins were melted down in 1982 when the value of silver content eclipsed the value of the denomination itself, the coins are easily acquired and inexpensive.

Frequently in discussions, the idea of motivation is brought up. What drives behavior? What is the cause of people's actions? What makes people behave the way they do? Many people stubbornly like to truncate this notion to the idea of belief – that is, they claim people's actions are a direct result of their conscious beliefs – but belief is only one fraction of motivation. The entire sphere of motivation contains endless subsets of forces, dynamics, emotional states, unconscious and subconscious activity, and various psychological underpinnings, all of which have an influence on the resulting action(s). The idea of "belief" only covers the conscious motivations, which only tells one tiny part of the story.
We know that various socioeconomic factors will have an impact on constituent populations. That is, the presence of certain forces demonstrably have an impact on the behavior of the people living within them. Everyone acknowledges this. People tend, however, to skip the next step and therefore miss the (seemingly) obvious conclusion: if external socioeconomic (political, etc.) forces alter and affect the behavior of the people living inside the scope of these forces, then that means those forces must, on some level, affect the psychological state of those people.
This transformation is not always conscious. In fact, it rarely is. Societal forces act on people in ways that they are not always aware of. We know this. This is what clinical psychology helps the individual parse through. (I have many issues with clinical psychology in that it tends to alleviate pressure and allows people to "fit in," but that's a separate gripe for a separate post.) This fact is what advertising and public relations and political campaigning relies upon: that human behavior can be influenced by communicating with the unconscious mind. This means that people can behave in ways due to subconscious or unconscious motivators while simultaneously "believing" that their true motivation is the one of which they are aware (conscious).
This concept is readily obvious when we are talking about our own personal lives. How many people are motivated sexually or intimately by various forces toward which they are completely ignorant? How many people get married "for the wrong reasons"? At the time, certainly each person would tell you they are marrying for "love" and "trust" and whatever other things they think are motivating them. But in situations where it is retroactively realized that wasn't the case, honest people will eventually start to explore and understand some of the more fundamental and more "truthful" motivations behind their relationship. (Insecurity, lack of identity, replication of paternal dynamics, etc.) To sit there and say, "Well he/she said this is why they did it, so that's why they did it!" is utter lunacy and leads to some pretty dangerous consequences of thought.
The notion of motivation is on heavy rotation in our current discourse. When someone tries to draw the causal link between, say, Islam and ISIS, they'll usually quote the members of ISIS as incontrovertible proof that Islam is what is truly motivating them. But this neglects so many important factors that it's absurdly petulant to stop thinking at that point. Who is ISIS? Where do they come from? Who is funding them? Who is propping them up? What environment did those people grow up in? These are all pertinent factors that will affect a group of people's ability or willingness to become or join ISIS. These factors all play a part in the subconscious motivation of the people even though many of them truly think their primary motivator is the tenets of Islam. The fact that many of them have grown up around or heavily participated in brutal war their entire lives – some of which have seen their friends and family blown to bits (by U.S. tanks), for example – will have a significant impact on the range of behaviors in which they are willing to participate. It's possible that their "religion" is merely the unifying ideology that gives context to their rage and action.
Another example: gangs in the United States. It is easy to see that what causes street gangs and street gang violence is poverty, disenfranchisement, lack of education, etc. But how many gang members would tell you these are the conscious motivators for what they do? Some might be able to recognize that and contextualize the situation. But most will probably talk about "territory" or "brotherhood" or "money." Clearly the environments in which gang members grow up change their psychological state and therefore alter their databank of motivations. From normalizing death at an early age or being surrounded by violence and corruption or having little to lose, these factors help motivate people to do things that would, from another set of socio-economic – socio-psychological – circumstances (ours, for example), seem totally insane.
The same is true about the 9/11 hijackers. In the U.S., we swallow whole the propaganda surrounding 9/11. We act as if we were peacefully minding our own business and then, out of nowhere, some religious lunatics decided to cause death and destruction. People then claim, "They did it because of their beliefs! Listen to what they said!" Well, okay. If we were actually interested in learning why 9/11 occurred, we could listen to the mastermind himself, Osama Bin Laden. In November 2002 he wrote a Letter to America in which he outlined a very detailed explanation of why he (they) attacked the U.S. (us). The primary reason is because "you [the U.S.] attacked us and continue to attack us [Muslims]." He then lists various ways in which (he believes) this is the case: Israeli occupation in Palestine, U.N. sanctions against Iraq, extortion of oil, among many others. The controversial nature of these statements notwithstanding, at the very least we have to acknowledge that living on the butt-end of those factors and the subsequent interpretation and internalization of those factors could motivate an individual in a way that supersedes "religion." Sure, some religious pretext can be used to galvanize and cohere certain ideas and emotions, but it's reckless to assume that without religion, this very real resentment would be pacified internally in some way.
This is not, as some will inevitably accuse, an excuse or, worse, a condoning of these acts of violence. That couldn't be further from the truth. Rather it is a demand to avoid oversimplifying things to such a childish degree and instead inspect the true "root" of violence so that we may better find a solution to stopping it. It does absolutely no good to point a finger at Islam whenever people carry out violence "in the name of Islam." The effects of doing so are demonstrably disastrous. Continual bombing of populations to "root out" terror is what is causing and continuing terror in the first place. (The number one factor in the existence of suicide bombing, for example, is foreign occupation, not religion.) Not just by galvanizing "anti-American" support but also by imposing war-torn conditions on populations which then serve as motivating factors in the "radicalization" of populations.
Conscious motivations toward violence are very often non-religious in the traditional sense. (Although the fervor driving them can aptly be described as religious.) Look at the United States. The United States over the past 5 or 6 decades has been by far the most violent, aggressive country in the world. What drives our "state-capitalist extremists" (military) to violence? A lot of things. First of all, we have a complex system of propaganda indoctrinating every citizen with jingoistic views of geopolitics and history. This starts in the schools and is corroborated by media outlets, Hollywood, and the like. We are the good guys who stand for freedom, democracy, and sanity; "they" are insane lunatics who pose a threat to our values. This is a constant throughout our society and most of the West. From 9/11 ("they hate our freedom") to Charlie Hebdo ("they attacked our freedom of speech"), various mouthpieces spew propaganda into our minds which change our fundamental motivations. (For example, the week after the Charlie Hebdo attack, after an avalanche of anti-Muslim rhetoric and discussion, the movie "American Sniper", in which Bradley Cooper kills hundreds of Muslims, earned $90 million, breaking the Winter opening weekend record.) These "patriotic beliefs" are just as religious as Christianity or Islam as they are based on emotion and insulation rather than empirical data and reality.
What motivates a U.S. soldier to storm Iraq or Afghanistan? Or fly a drone into Pakistan? These people are motivated by irrational beliefs of "democracy" or "freedom" (two things that don't actually exist in America) as well as the fraudulent notion of an "enemy." This paradigm is not only implanted and installed by outside forces (media, schools, parents, society, etc.) but it is reaffirmed and lauded nearly unanimously by all agents of authority in our society. To go against this narrative is considered taboo. Dangerous. Uncouth. Anti-American. Unpatriotic. Many other words that they invented to discredit the truth. The unwillingness of many of us to inspect our own institutions with the scrutiny and critical eye with which we apply so easily and callously to "foreign" societies, populations, religions, and nations is the textbook definition of petulant hypocrisy.
It's a cozy bed-time tale to tell ourselves that we're the good guys fighting the bad guys. This is almost never truly the case. The 9/11 attacks did NOT pose a "threat to our freedom." That's an unjustifiably insane belief. Ironically, the government and media reaction to those attacks did pose a substantial threat the very freedom they claim to be protecting. From the Patriot Act to increased security measures to the increased violence overseas which help create "anti-American sentiment," these are actual infringements of our civil liberties, spearheaded by our friendly local, mom and pop federal government. However, many U.S. citizens happily complied with these new "security measures." Three quarters of the population initially approved of the invasion of Iraq. If you asked U.S. citizens what their motivation was to submit to or approve these policies (if they knew about them at all), they'd tell you it is to "fight terror" or "defend freedom" or "kill the bad guys." However, in truth it was yet another example of a frightened, ignorant population capitulating to very calculated fear-mongering from institutional powers.
Funny how we're not always completely aware of what drives us.

Kevin Federline files for custody
Kevin Federline's lawyer went to court yesterday afternoon and filed legal papers seeking custody of his two children with Britney Spears. The documents are under seal so the details of the petition are unknown, but Federline recently threatened to file for full custody because of Britney's recent behavior. I don't really see how Federline can mess this up. Anybody who owns a computer or TV knows what kind of mother Britney Spears is. K-Fed could show up to court with a cage with "baby" written on the side and still end up getting the kids.

Acting President of the South African Football Association (Safa), Mandla Mazibuko on Tuesday clarified the situation on claims that Safa President Kirsten Nematandani has been toppled as the Chairperson of 2013 Africa Cup of Nations Local Organising Committee (LOC).
Mazibuko confirms that Vice-President Chief Mwelo Nonkonyana has been tasked as the interim Chairperson of the LOC until the next fully-fledged board meeting where Government will be represented.
Mazibuko further explains that it is common practise that when the president is out of the country, one of his deputies acts on his behalf.
"The President is out of the country and we had to delegate responsibilities to various members and it is for that reason that I am the acting president of the association and this should in no way be construed as an overthrow of the president. I am just holding fort," said Mazibuko.
In the meantime, Chief Nonkonyana has strongly denied making any statements to the media on this matter.
"These statements where manufactured and I strongly condemn such sensational journalism in the strongest terms," said Nonkonyana. – Sapa

April 1st, 2013 (InsideCostaRica.com) The Catholic Church may be loosing its grip on Costa Rica. According to a survey by Unimer, conducted for the newspaper La Nacion, 47% of the Costa Rican population would rather live in a secular state.
And, the sentiment is increasing – in 2011, the number of people who said they would prefer to live in a secular state was 41%.
In addition, 30% of those surveyed in the most recent poll said they didn't care if Costa Rica has an official religion or if it was secular. Costa Rica is officially a Roman Catholic country.
Only 23% of those polled supported having the official religion, down from 27% in October 2011.
Costa Rica is one of the last western countries to still maintain an official state religion.
