An update on John Lennon's killer applying for parole in just a moment.
But first forty year old Lance Armstrong a seven time Tour de France winner announced he is ending his fight against the United States Anti Doping Agency.
That organization had accused the super star cyclist abusing illegal performance enhancing drugs.
As a result he could be stripped of his titles and ban from cycling for life.
Joining me now with the latest Fox News anchor -- and Rivera you can kitchen every Saturday at ten if you want -- great to see you -- -- -- -- -- on the -- and we yeah -- so we might disagree about this because I -- I'm pretty appalled not know whether Lance Armstrong doped or not I have no idea but -- this sort of acquire -- government agency.
That pretend it's not a government agency but -- -- funded by -- by the government for the most part which means you and me taxpayers.
And -- like they have thrown out due process here to arrest an athlete that is no longer even in the sport.
I don't think that's through can I hate to disagree with you but.
I think personally have a situation where he has had ample due process he beat the criminal charges there was a grand jury against them earlier in the year.
They chose not to indict they did referred to the US Anti Doping Agency.
Which claimed jurisdiction.
So what Lance Armstrong tried to -- say wait a second thought the USA 88 that is jurisdiction as the International Cycling Union.
That has jurisdiction so he -- -- on jurisdictional grounds to prevent.
-- hearing exactly the due process you describe in which reportedly.
Ten former teammates were ready to testified that he was that don't work.
So I believe what Lance Armstrong did is he saw that this procedural fight was not -- to succeed the judge ruled you've got to face the music.
Rather than face the trial with the US 88 he gave up and I think it really does show -- like Roger Clemens like Barry Bonds like so many of our heroes and he was a hero to me like everyone else I mean.
The miracle wasn't true yeah -- we.
What we want -- -- bonuses and again I've no dog in this fight I'm not here to defend Lance Armstrong but it seems like he's the most.
-- and has been the most tested athlete -- -- ever in American history.
He has come clean on every single prior investigation.
They've been after him for years and years every time he's been tested blood samples urine samples he's come out clean.
So you know I -- sister come -- that's without what I think is due process seems to me really unfair you know.
He broke.
My heart Monica I wanted to believe that this cancer survivor.
Did what he did that he won seven tour -- France that's an incredible achievement it's unbelievable even if he was doping it's unbelievable for goodness sake.
But because he is now revealed as a cheater and I think he is revealed as a -- why else would so many people seek to testify against him.
-- you know Floyd Landis.
Just now another champ who lost his title was one of the witnesses and he's now a -- -- up Floyd Landis.
To pay back hundreds of thousands of dollars to people who supported him during his training goes he admits that he's a fraud he was ready to talk about high -- of -- well what about people are jealous that -- -- -- fast and plus we don't like the -- so we say all those friends of and you know I didn't put down our champion who won the title for seven consecutive talking with seven -- and an even after.
You know plus sobriety cancer you know I -- -- to defend him I tried so hard to do it but you can't ignore the obvious.
You can't ignore.
You know this is not to smoke.
You know where there's smoke there's fire this is smoke and Nash and spark and flames and it's -- do you think you know except what you've got to give it up and just say.
The miracle was based on fraud Lance Armstrong tried his best he's done a lot of good things and he's given that he sent a charity he's not giving out any quarter honesty and and that's why Nike is sticking with him right and so as Anheuser-Busch -- -- people are sticking with them with endorsements as long as he continues to deny it.
God bless them let them continue to find his activities but he's being stripped of the -- of the France titles probably they haven't ruled yet but it was it's very likely.
And now he'll always have this asterisk next to all I think -- you.
Really sad overall I think it is a tragedy and it's and any famous athlete now because -- you have to Roger Clemens deal because now of Lance Armstrong if you're Michael Phelps now -- you have to worry about your gold medals because somebody might question something at some point.
I think it's real tragedy let's move on because Mark David Chapman who fatally shot.
John Lennon one of obviously pop -- while a huge pop culture icon -- -- the greatest musicians and songwriters ever John Lennon.
A Mark David Chapman up for parole for the seventh time denied this guy's never getting out right I hope not.
I remember being home.
That night on set for -- -- live on 643.
At the time -- still a friend of mine on 72 street so about a quarter of a mile away -- clearly heard the shots.
The the -- doors facing the park were open I heard the shots.
I yet that time you know your lives 1980 you've heard shots and central -- wasn't that unusual.
I -- -- I got a call from the ABC news desk it was an ABC news at the time.
And neither did did you hear U buddy Johnson have been killed coming to do Nightline I almost passed out.
And I got to do night line.
I was in tears you know it was the most emotional moment -- remember what Chapman did he denied us of this amazing amazing person.
And he's nothing but -- down rat who wanted.
Fame and notoriety it's just awful he deserves a ride in.
We actually have a clip a -- talking to John Lennon and Yoko -- from the early 1970 -- check out.
When you're -- now.
In the middle of Nevada the middle of -- I had the people react here.
That very slowly because.
We went -- -- -- don't dinosaur Nevada Tuesday and vandals.
I am a big models are dinosaurs they in the gas say it's a giant cities honey can you just come up in the road and -- -- a -- stand -- Thank you very much.
-- -- -- For the trip.
He was it just a wonderful guy it was such an honor to know him.
His music really is it defined a generation.
Poll which he was.
You know or a you know he did the last fully rehearsed concert of his life he did for my charity.
To raise funds for the developmentally disabled needed to concerts at Madison Square Garden.
He amend Yoko and Sean and -- verdict black and Stevie Wonder and a lot of others but John was the central -- raise hundreds of thousand dollars for the great cause.
And this this nobody.
Who just wanted notoriety and -- wanted to take -- -- and put it on himself.
Now is asking for mercy because he's been.
Well I hate all you -- and you won't ever get it and that is certainly seminal moment in the United States is definitely on my brother breaks the Monica thing.

Click the link and watch this: http://www.gamertagradio.com/vbportal/forums/showthread.php?t=6300 Sorry if this has already been posted..but I could not find one. Anyway..I am really anoyed at this..FOX news becomes experts at judgeing games...and this woman who wroth a book??? so shes an expert?? She never even played Mass Effect yet she beleaved she knew what the game was all about. The game expert was fantastic...of course the 1 question: " have you played this game? " of course..she said no What did you think of this??? The fact that she said...stop defending games " darlin " is such an insult for a man who is a real expert.
I say Geoff did very well defending us gamers! But the other ignorant bimbos are saying shit about the game that they didnt play.
"Let's all skip through fantasy meadows holding hands and singing" Uh huh...now the real world. There's an Age Rating on the back, MA means no one under the age of 18 can buy it, but if their parents decide to buy it for their kids they should be held responsible, not the game companies. The fact is that if you went to the game company and asked them exactly what the game contained, they would tell you, from that you should be making your own decision.
that sums it up exactly!! All these fox news reporters act as they know everything, they know fuck up in reality! Its funny to see them argue on shit they dont know anything about like bill orielly etc. Daily show is actually good for news haha it shows everything, whilst only news channels put anything they want on it, for example I didnt hear anything about the internet equality, did u?
Wtf! does this have to happen every year!?!? I mean ever since the "hot coffee" spot on Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas its been the new's pick to make sure there is something to BITCH about when it comes to videogames. You have everyone just going on and on about stuff that they don't know anything about. Spend an hour at work in a debate with an priest about this topic... And, I'll tell you the priest wasn't happy with my answers... So what?! They've never picked up a controller before, and don't even know what the F is Burnout, or Call of Duty... Old miss Hilary probably thinks Call of Duty is the governments Call to Arms... And the people at fox probably think when we refer to "knights of the round" its from the Midevil times... I'm all for Gamers Unite! and here is something else we can look at... who's the people that make the spots for these new casters, mayor's and government heads? People who feel that Media is a form of art that can be broad casted over the world... Its now time for the indastery and its people to stand up.. and if Hilary gets into office, I say we march to the white house on her first day of office, and put the facts into her hands!
the only one on the show was the last guy to talk its the parents job and why dont they go after the porn sites etc. ppl dont have anything better to do think pick on what we love to do and thats game
Ya! Sadly the media is so stupid and makes the worst of anything and over exaggerates as to how bad the situation really is.
And with EA starting, who else won't? I feel that Rockstar should also come in and take what EA has started and make it an Industary uprising of epic paporations. What's next? the library sued over carrying "Catcher In the Rye"?
lol luke Skywalker and a Debbie Does Combo boy,- if that little clip of the game made me that much of a pervert then imagine what will happen when i play the whole game
there will always be a scapegoat. remember, before the focus on "violent video games," the focus was on the music industry (back in '96-'97) specifically, Marilyn Manson. Colombine was the climax of that crap, where politicians, experts and other professional were going on-air on all the major news stations citing something needed to be done. Even going the extent of reading song lyircs on-air, and then claiming that it influences kids (although, anyone with a brain could've interpretted the lyrics correctly; here's an example of one song I remember being read on CNN: http://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/marilynmanson/getyourgunn.html). After that whole ordeal died down, the next focus was on hip-hop music, and that was short lived as Eminem was the next big target. Colombine was also the first time that video games were accused of being influential - specifically Wolfenstein3D and DOOM - of which both kids were supposedly avid gamers of. No mention was made of ever made of Duke Nukem 3D or Quake, though. I still applaud how professionally ID Software handled the bad publicity, even going so far as to state they will no longer develop such violent games - all the mean while, they secretly begin work on the game engine that later powers Doom3 (early concept art and game engine renderings were leaked back in 2000).
That's what gets me.. There is all ways talk about how "Music" and "Video" makes a person do these types of things.. But, what about Books!?? Has there ever been a Song, Or Videogame to which the WHOLE GOVERNMENT watches who buys it? NO. ONLY BOOKS of some sort.. And One book is like I've said before "Catcher In the RYE". It's hard as hell in the US to get a copy and not have the feds going up your a$$ and seeing what type of Corn you ate yesterday... And Can anyone tell me who read that book and went on kill sprees??? I don't see a cop coming at my door in the next 30 mins because I'm going to pop in my Mass Effect cd...
Sorry to say it, y'all, but the most violent, explicit, disturbing form of entertainment: The local evening news. Follow with a viewing of a national news broadcast on CNN or FOX, and you'll be guaranteed to be numb to violence within 5 years. Fear sells - and people watch it. Why do you think there are so many specials on the criminal mind, the scam artist, how Joe Schmoe got duped into being murdered - crazy hitchikers, etc. The national news networks: instilling fear because people want it!

Well it could be governor Mitt Romney riding on the coattails of governor Scott Walker lots of Republicans predicting Wisconsin could be in play right now after Walker's.
Stunning big -- victory last night on Fox News exit polls those that Romney is still trailing the president.
In the badger state Virginia governor Bob McDonnell won of those Republicans.
These numbers could -- come November.
What do you figure that -- governor because it's interesting that the president and Governor Walker enjoyed similar approval ratings in the state.
I guess that the speaks of why the president avoided the -- it to avoid too -- law but.
And it would still be a tough road for four Republican to win this state.
Sure it's been a blue state -- for a while.
About a way the president did -- from Minnesota Illinois and I decided not to go to Wisconsin last week which I think says something about what they.
Thought about the -- campaign.
But ironic that I think is that the issues that Scott Walker campaigned on and that is being honest with people about the need to rein in spending and cut taxes and great jobs.
And have a common sense of fiscal policy does the same issues -- -- -- is gonna be campaigning on.
Against Barack Obama and so I I do think that it's gonna have some impact.
Down the -- the other thing -- is that the the turnout was extraordinarily high there's a lot of enthusiasm of the Republican base the coalitions of the Republican Governors Association but I cheer up donating nine billion dollars the Americans for prosperity the NRA all these groups on the ground.
I think really says that our turnout mechanism really surpassed that of the unions and that's that's a positive thing to commit a couple points in Iran via a Romney win.
On the -- I spoke to got to walk about this whole phenomenon what was going on the one thing he kept mentioning again and again to me is.
Visited that Wisconsin is part of a trend and this is now an accepted -- go -- after spending abuses.
Is it.
Oh absolutely.
Not -- you know lower or our country's in deep trouble where the greatest country on earth -- -- fifteen trillion in debt the president's run up another trillion dollars a year plus.
And we don't have a coherent plan to create more jobs and opportunity get -- -- of that fact his budget gets and another ten -- in the next decades so.
Spending has got to be -- then or we're gonna be in deeper trouble in America and that's significant issue that Romney is going to -- in the then the a battle against Obama because he's had no plan to get -- that a -- Scott Walker said elect me I'll kill I'll kill a three point six billion dollar budget deficit.
Without raising taxes.
And that's what he did and other reforms are working creating jobs and limiting that the same thing that that that rob is going to be talking about for November.
But maybe dot and I know you do you know hopes fans can only hope the state goes red.
But maybe we're reading too much into the assists are bumped into a lot of Wisconsin -- many of whom had not.
I supported Governor Walker in his original election who did now because they would just so incensed about the whole recall process that it wasn't necessary as a waste of money etc.
-- -- But that they are still Democrat -- hard and they -- are not about to flip.
How do you win those guys over.
-- I think there's some sentiment there there's no question there's recall fatigue in Wisconsin and opinion this is a third recall third recall a year the judge in the legislature now the lieutenant governor.
Of course.
It was a debate about policy that's not what you recall people about.
So -- there's no question that that was some of -- but what I say is a combination of one of the grassroots.
Secondly the significant financial resources that were martialed for walker and that will also be marshaled.
For Romney because -- his support for the American dream of the free enterprise system.
And third because the issues are largely the same.
That the majority does Wisconsin voters voted for walker because his reforms while they might have appeared on popular a year ago they're working.
More jobs lower taxes.
A balanced budget.
I think that when you get results people rewards you and those issues are going to be the same things Romney will be talking about.
Gives Obama 8% unemployment rate America fifteen trillion in debt.
Robby is gonna go after Obama that and rightly so and same thing Wisconsin voters I think elected walker on last night.
Give him a chance to -- but it's it's tough it's a blue state.
And I think walker when does help about.
To your state turned blue last go around 2008 I guess it's purple round whatever they might go purple tie yeah how's it looking right now.
You know -- Obama want to -- he had a ton of money doubled McCain's money he ran on uplifting positive message of hope and change.
Which now it's turned into recession and division with a campaign is running right now.
But I'd say that sense then you know I won by eighteen points we elected three new congressmen the highest number of legislators and the general assembly.
History Republican last November.
I think were returning to our -- -- roots it's a dead heat right now Romney was down eight points just stuck couple months ago it's now a -- And the more you compare Romney's vision what Obama is abysmal record on jobs and taxes and energy.
The better it gets for Mitt Romney -- -- -- we're gonna win Virginia.
Sorry but maybe that Mitt Romney needs a -- on his ticket when -- thing.
Well there's a lot of there's eight million to just throw line but we can find what I've been -- run but.
Hey let god -- -- went in Virginia because I believe we need their later.
-- for America are right governor people heard that you started that -- When -- turnover was going on governor -- thank you very much.
Okay they'll keep up the good work thanks thank you sir well we.

Online Store
The Official Online RBS 6 Nations Store is open. The store has everything you need to get behind your team during the RBS 6 Nations, plus the store is now fully stocked with a much wider range of rugby merchandise.
Last year the side failed to pick up a win in any of their four Autumn internationals, while their last win against any southern hemisphere side came back in October 2011 with in a 66-0 victory over Fiji.
But looking to change that stat, Howley wants his players to be on top form for when South Africa come to town in the first of the matches on November 9.
"It is a huge autumn fixture list and this will be an interesting month," Howley told Wales Online.
"If you look back at the landscape of Welsh rugby over the last four or five years we have not been successful at this period in the calendar.
"Everyone says the next step is for Wales to beat a southern hemisphere side under Warren Gatland.
"We are playing the in-form team in world rugby first on November 9. I have been so impressed by them this season and they are getting back to the physicality as they had under Nick Mallett, who led them to a world record equalling 17 consecutive Test victories in 1997 and 1998.
"When our players come into us a couple of weeks before, the challenge for us is to get those guys up to those levels of physicality which we will be exposed to in this game against South Africa."

WTF Wednesday: Part 5
Sooooo... About a week ago, I was asked by Mr. Skyler Right Now, "So what's your 'type' anyway?" ((We've discussed this here previously, 'member?)) Before I can answer he says, "I guess I must be somewhat your type." I reply with, "Oh you mean confusing, needlessly conflicted, and kind of emotionally retarded?" GET THIS... Are you ready? He says, "Yeah, that basically sums me up. It's destiny, my dear."
I repeat and all together now: WHAT THE FUCK?!

Mortgage Market Conditions and Borrower Outcomes: Evidence from the 2012 HMDA Data and Matched HMDA--Credit Record Data (PDF)Neil Bhutta and Glenn B. Canner
This article describes mortgage lending activity in 2012 based on newly available data reported under the Home Mortgage Disclosure Act of 1975 (HMDA). It also examines a new data set composed of HMDA records matched to borrowers credit records. The matched data help document differences in the financial circumstances (credit scores and debt-to-income ratios) and subsequent loan performance of borrowers grouped by their race or ethnicity and income. The data also provide insight both into the potential for differential effects of the new qualified mortgage rules on access to credit across groups and into the role of the Community Reinvestment Act in the financial crisis.

Thread: truck won't catch when cranking.
Hybrid View
truck won't catch when cranking.
Hey guys,
I am sure im not the first to post this, but I have a problem.
93 suburban, 350, TBI, all new drivetrain. went out this morning to a temperature of -17C from a +4c yesterday.
I tried to start my truck, it will turnover, but not start. I went as far as firing some naptha in the throttle body to see if everything else was working well, and sure enoughit tried to start. no fuel from the injectors.
the troubleshooting really starts. im thinking frozen fuel line? Fuel filter? Pump?
where would you start... I am about to meter out the pump relay to see if its getting 12v, when im done I'll post results.
any suggestions? or ideas?
1993 K1500 Suburban 350TBI, 378,486KMS on frame, 49,000KMS on Drivetrain. Lots of mods, built for haulin trailers and haulin @$$ :)
2000 K2500 Yukon XL 6.0L Vortec 252000KMS custom CAI, and exhaust...but not done yet.

Hey there northern neighbour! The same thing happend to a buddy of mine a couple years back. It was his fuel pump. We had just drove from Canmore the my place in SE Calgary. He parked in front of my place and came in for about 5 mins. When he went back out, the truck was dead. It was a '94 2500 with a 350 TBI. Thats how a fuel pump goes. Without warning. If you are getting a spark then most liikely thats your problem. Pull off your air cleaner and see if you can smell fuel.

if it is your fuel pump lay underneath the gas tank with a good hammer after finding the position of the fuel pump, give it a good whack or two while somone else tries starting it, i know this sounds odd, but trust me this has worked on my 99 burban and so many other chevys from 92-99, its just a quick fix but then you know its the pump!

When asked how he prepares for that beach-ready body, Sam jokingly says, "Naku, ginagaya ko yung style ni Papa Derek! Sabi niya, 'wag ka daw mag- sit-ups, dalawang baso lang ng tubig sa umaga. E, ako, since wala naman akong Derek Ramsay body, tatlong baso ng tubig iniinom ko, hindi lang dalawa."
Photo: Noel OrsalAmidst his busy schedule, DJ Sam YG of Magic 89.9's Boys' Night Out still manages to work out and spend some summer loving under the sun.
In a quick interview with the radio charmer at the Watsons NOW Foods event held at the Stock Market Café on Bonifacio High Street, Taguig on May 15, PEP.ph (Philippine Entertainment Portal) learned that his daily exercise routine includes a lot of running.
"In the morning, I start my day with a run, a 10k run, and then I go to work, I finish my emails, and I go to work again."
"So, sometimes the pressure of everything I'm doing gets to me, so I need the extra boost for my immune system to be functioning very well kasi very prone ka sa sakit, e.
"If you're always on the go, 'yong energy mo kailangan laging mataas."

Gaming with miniatures has a long, and proud tradition.
People have been re-playing the great battle of history with small lead soldiers for decades and enjoying every minute of it.
As a gaming option miniatures offer more than just game play as many find equal enjoyment in the painting of the pieces often going for minute historical detail in the paint scheme.
Today there are a wide variety of miniature gaming options, some, over time leading to massive armies of miniatures and requiring large tables on which to battle. Those battles can takes hours.
There are however options which require fewer miniatures, reducing costs, and lessening the time and space to play.
A newcomer to what is often referred to as 'skirmish' gaming is MERCS, a game played in a future earth setting where corporations control large areas of the world.
The game is designed to be played with a small number of miniatures per player and that is to start, its greatest strength.
Brian Shotton with MERCS said while there are many miniature game options their new offerings is one players can get into easily without a huge cash outlay.
"MERCS is a small model count game that is easy on the wallet. There is no escalation of participation; those MERCS you buy today will be viable members of your team for the duration of the game," he said via email.
"As to timing, there has never been a better time to get into MERCS. The starter kits make it extremely easy. Our website has been redesigned to better support players and stores. We have articles in magazines; videos on major miniature gaming sites; eight factions are out now; the seventh models for all the factions will be out before the end of the year; the list goes on and on."
While low cost might attract some to try MERCS it needs to offer something beyond price point.
Shotton said he feels it does.
"The game is very balanced. It is tactical in a way that makes sense in a 'real world' sort of way. A game of MERCS is fast and fun. The models are amazing, as is our fledgling community," he said.
Shotton is right the miniatures are finely detailed, and have a look not so different from today's soldiers.
Yes there is a sci-fi aspect to MERCS, but it is not exactly the focus of things. That may not appeal as much to diehard sci-fi-gamers, but it does allow a closer tie to realism others will like.
There is also a lot of attention to detail with MERCS, likely because it is very much an effort of love for its creators.
"There are only two of us, Keith and myself, and we have day jobs. This has its disadvantages certainly, but it also has advantages. We aren't releasing 10 models a month to support a staff. We release about 20 minis a year to support a game. We have a fantastic game," offered Shotton.
"When I first started in mini-gaming I was okay with spending money," said Shotton. "My thinking on that has changed over the years. I created MERCS to play a game that was tactical and as different as my next opponent. I don't want people to have to spend a bunch of money every year just to be competitive, nor do I want to make anyone's MERCS obsolete and need replaced."
The neatest thing about MERCS is that you are fielding very small units, which heightens the need to good tactics. With a five-man squad the base of a game if you lose one man, that is 20 per cent of your force.
Being reliant on tactics means skilled players will win more often than not and skills can be learned and improved. That is highly compelling in terms of re-playability.
Shotton noted the game is not designed to evolve to mass-army play.
"Each MERCS faction will cap at 10 minis," he said. "There will be options to play the game with two squads of five, but the core game will stay five-versus-five. No giant vehicles. No big army game. The depth of MERCS is gameplay and squad selection. Each squad will get their seventh member this year (the eighth and ninth in 2013)."
More good news about MERCS is that there is a plan for steady, but affordable for players, growth.
"We'll have every faction out by 2014," said Shotton.
At GENCON they were releasing the Texico and ISS factions. In early 2013 plans call for the release of House 4 of the FCC, and later next year they'll release EU, Inc and EIC factions, explained Shotton, adding "2014 brings the GCC (the 12th faction) and a surprise (13th) faction.
"That is the extent of the MegaCons for the most part. Any expansion will come in the form of addition members for each faction and campaigns that alter the world over time."
"Short answer, yes," said Shotton. "This is something I have been toying with for over a year. When all of the factions are out (2014), we have planned on revising the ruleset and providing an all-inclusive book that same year. I think it will be in that book."
That may be a while to wait, but by getting into MERCS now players are in on the ground floor of a great game.
As it stands the hardcover rule book is detailed and well-laid out.
The rules are pretty straight forward, and movement using a unique card as the measure is quick and simple.
The game is one a few of us locally have already taken the plunge into, and it would be great to see others hop on the MERCS wagon and start a local community here in Yorkton.

Syrian leader says he welcomes U.N. inspectors' return
Meanwhile, Syria's president says he'll welcome the return of U.N. investigators to follow up on more allegations of chemical weapons use in his country.
"We've been asking them to come back to Syria to continue their investigations," al-Assad told Fox News in an interview broadcast Wednesday.
Al-Assad said he hadn't had time yet to analyze the U.N. investigators' findings, but he stressed that they have more work to do.
"They haven't finished it yet," he said, adding that it's clear that rebels, not his government, were behind chemical weapons attacks.
Ake Sellstrom, the head of the inspection team that visited Syria after the August 21 attack, told CNN that another visit could take place as early as next week.
U.S. surveillance satellites indicate Syria's government has moved its chemical weapons in recent days, two Obama administration officials -- each with a different agency -- say.
One of the officials said it "is unclear (if) they are moving them to consolidate the stockpile and then declare it, or are they moving it around to conceal it." Both officials asked to remain anonymous due to the sensitive nature of the information.
As world leaders continued to debate what to do about such weapons, violence continued to rage inside the Middle Eastern nation much as it has, on a daily basis, for well over two years.
The U.N. estimates more than 100,000 people have died since March 2011, a period in which harsh government crackdowns against protesters devolved into an all-out civil war. Another 2 million fled their homeland, while more than 4.25 million have been displaced within Syria, also according to the United Nations.
The president of another of Syria's long-time allies, Iran, offered Thursday to broker efforts to bring peace to the war-torn nation. In a Washington Post op-ed, Iranian President Hassan Rouhani announced his "government's readiness to facilitate dialogue between the Syrian government and the opposition."
There was no immediate reaction to Rouhani's offer from any key players in the struggle. Yet given the military support that Iran has reportedly given al-Assad throughout this ordeal, it seems unlikely the rebels would consider any Iranian official a truly independent broker.
Amidst all this talk, the bloodshed continues. The opposition Local Coordination Committees of Syria reported at least 82 dead across the country Thursday, including 15 killed by shelling from Syrian warplanes in the Idlib province town of Sinjar.
But the violence didn't just pit opposition fighters against government forces.
For a second straight day, Free Syrian Army rebels clashed with fighters from the al Qaeda-linked Islamic State of Iraq and Syria near the northern town of Azaz, not far from the Turkish border.
Abu Thabat, a Free Syrian Army official, said his group has received reinforcements from two other battalions in the fight in what's been rebel-controlled territory. They've managed to push the al Qaeda-linked fighters back some, though the battle continues.
"We are regrouping," Thabat said. "We will call for more reinforcements and will probably attack tonight."
A short time later, though, a scanned letter signed by an Islamic State of Iraq and Syria member, a captain in the Free Syria Army and two witnesses appeared to indicate that these hostilities were over -- at least for now.
According to the letter posted on the Facebook page for a rebel-held border crossing community, the parties have agreed to an immediate cease-fire, the prompt return of prisoners and seized property and the formation of a committee to look at resolving the two sides' dispute long-term.

The link on this blog post goes to Slatedroid, which has a whole section on Velocity Cruz. After rooting and bloat removal, it works great. One other suggestion for the browser issue - there's an Opera version available for MIPS here.
Got mine yesterday and I can honestly say this was a plesant surprise. Dalvik Turbo is the key to making this fast. I rooted mine, removed all the crapplications from it, and then installed Dalvik Turbo. Honestly, this thing is about 40% faster than it was out of the box. Don't mess with overclocking, it's not even worth it compared to Dalvik Turbo. It still is slow at bootup. It takes about a minute after loaded to get fully up to speed. I threw out the ereader and cruz market grabage, and replaced them with Google Play and Kindle for Android. Youtube plays HQ content at full framerate, all of my HD videos play fine so far, pandora streams fine while multitasking. The SD cards that came with it are indeed class 4, I will be swapping that out for a class 10 16GB in a few days. The caveats I have found so far: -Heavy -Slightly ugly (but feels sturdy) -Still not as fast as a $400 device -No Angry Birds -javascrapt can't be used in any webbrowser, it will crash it. If you can live with these, the device works great. It is a much older, slower device than what is available, but this only cost $50. It has a much better price/performance value, which makes it twice as good IMO. Oh just FYI, the difference between the T103, T104, T105 is where it was originally sold. There is no benefit to having one over the other.
It says there's 100+ pre-loaded books, but where are they? Searched for over an hour, through every application, and I can't find them.
I just got the tablet, but browser (google start page) suddenly turns off. I cannot connect internet. Do you have an idea to resolve this issue?
I only used mine twice for less than half an hour total and now it won't turn on. Anybody have any suggestions?
Okay, I reset it and removed some of the stuff i didn't need. If it freezes up again and i have to reset, i have to do all that all over again. If i root it maybe i can solve the problem? Whatever it was. edit: I cannot figure out how to root, so I'm giving up and hoping it doesn't freeze up again.
Hey All: My buddy ordered one of these for his kid and the tablet touchscreen was unresponsive, but the buttons worked. I did a quick reset with a paperclip and the touchscreen was responsive.
http://www.slatedroid.com/topic/21572-guide-cruz-t10x-t301-rooting-dalvik-turbo-removing-bloatware-gapps-market-more/ Guys, first post there has everything you need to know to get this thing running the way it should.
skou wrote: ... Specs STILL say I should have a camera!
... Specs now say no camera So, clearly a Woot! error. This is one of those pivotal moments that Tom Peters talks about- will they fix it (the right way) and earn our eternal loyalty, or will it be another opportunity lost? I'm sure they won't miss me, but I will sure miss Woot! if they drop the ball.
nomo16 wrote:I just got the tablet, but browser (google start page) suddenly turns off. I cannot connect internet. Do you have an idea to resolve this issue?
Google doesn't work. You need to change default browser to something else, I did Yahoo. Then change your home page to something like CNN. They give directions somewhere on the Velocity website under the T100 series of FAQ's. Mine isn't super sensetive to the touch, but it works. I bought it for books and it works perfect for that.
ewhite1052 wrote:Hey All: My buddy ordered one of these for his kid and the tablet touchscreen was unresponsive, but the buttons worked. I did a quick reset with a paperclip and the touchscreen was responsive.
EXACT same thing happened on mine.
Having trouble getting Cruz to replace a unit where the browser is broken. They're only interested if the device is dead!! They suggested I reflash the device but that damaged one of the SD cards that came with it.

Disable javascrapt and it should work.

Yes the blog links to the slatedroid post but the post is everything you need for ONLY the t103 which this product is.
It won't turn on again. I just started liking this thing. If I have to reset it every time I want to turn it on that can't be good for it, right?
obwielnls wrote:Interesting the back of mine says Model T105.
Hey - I just checked the back of mine - it says T104! Do I care? Nope. Does it read the $5000 in books I had just sitting around on my laptop because it was a pain to lug around? Yup. Will it browse on a much bigger screen than my Blackberry? Yup. All this griping about a $50 item is amazing... and unfortunate. There are probably a lot of people who would love this thing (like me), and I'm so glad I didn't let all these Debbie Downers scare me away from trying it. Download Repligo for reading and Skyfire for browsing right away and you won't have the opportunity to be disappointed. Is it an absolute steal for $50? You bet! Oh - And I just bought another one for my girlfriend's birthday. She couldn't stop drooling over mine!
I can not begin to describe how frustrating and useless these things are, but I will try. First, the "marketplace" is a joke. I tried to install Amazon's version but after setting up an account, putting a credit card, and then downloading my first application it WON'T work. It basically just crashes. Trying to browse the web is worthless as well. It seems to allow you to search using google but when you click a link to browse to it redirects you back to the first screen. I am going to see if rooting the devices and installing something other ROM will make it usable. STAY AWAY from this!!!
wootbegood wrote:Buyer be wary, Be very very wary. I bought this cute little tablet a few weeks here on woot, and truly felt that i knew what I was getting into. I read all the comments and reviews and decided Walrus Toting Halibut. For $50 I didn't anticipate a lot. I really only expected a device that would connect to the internet and allow me to steadily surf some small web waves. I only desired that this tablet let me do a little light googling and a wee bit of streaming video. I didn't care that it wasn't going to be fast or sleek. I would be 100% satisfied if the web browser could make a stable connection. It found and connected to my wifi without a hitch and I thought i was about to catch a baby wave. Haha. The browser crashed within seconds. And it has crashed consistently, predictably and reliably each of the following 200 times I've tried over the past two weeks. Wah wah wah. Call the wahmbulance. I've read all the advice that folks have given regarding simple geeky work-arounds and rooting this and that and downloading other browsers like sky fire because the default browser is worthless etc. (Im not clear though on how one manages to perform any of these tweaks with a crashing browser.) In fairness, I will admit that I'm an apple person and accustomed to no muss no fuss connectivity and i definitely do not speak android, and I haven't called velocity's tech support yet, and I will do that before I send it back, but I honestly do not have high hopes (especially after i saw the laughable instructions that came with tablet!) even though my expectations are so basic - e.g. maintain a wifi connection for long enough to submit a request for assistance from the velocity website or get into the velocity Cruz market and find some app that might magically make this thing work. LoF'ingL. Clearly some people have had satisfactory experiences with this tablet straight out of it's box - with zero fooling around, and some people, willing and able to geek-around with it for awhile, are happy enough. For $50 i don't expect iPad-like performance, or anything close to that level of quality, but I really do think fifty bucks should get me a teensy bit of webby satisfaction without needing to educate myself in the vagaries of rooting an android device and /or other tricks and twists. Perhaps you will be one of the lucky few, and i honestly hope you are, but if you are not feeling lucky or ready to nerd-up, do not blow $50. WootBeWaryBeVeryWary
I bought one of these for my daughter to use and had a similar experience. I found that the work-around posted on Velocity Micro's website worked. Getting away from the Google start page on the browser and/or turning off Java seems to fix the problem. Good luck with yours. Cheers!
Just wanted to say that even tho this little tablet is far below the tech scale I am used to, it is JUST what I expected to get. It's perfect for what I intended which is processing credit card payments through Intuit for my craft sales and for reading eBooks. Not too happy with the fact that it is not compatible with ANYTHING "Google" but maybe they'll get a fix out for that soon. Otherwise - WORTH the low price offered by Woot.com. Thanks Woot!
Bought 2 one worked the other can not connect to Google/internet. The only option was to return for refund but not exchange for one that worked. VERY DISAPPOINTED!!!
This product was so useless that I instead hit it with a baseball bat and threw it away. Probably the worst internet purchase I've ever made.

Sounds like it was pretty awesome for stress relief.
these tablets are not worth nothing...can not even play video with the out dated processor...both 3 of these dust collectors!
I purchased 2 of these and both failed - one fails to power on completely (I can hear moving parts inside) and the other continues to crash after reboot, after just a couple of hours of use. Perhaps they were not well "refurbished". I also wrote to Velocity Micro, and they "resolved" my support ticket without giving me any instructions on what to do, or an RMA! Fortunately Woot is willing to take the return.
Mine does the same thing!! Connects to Google , searches, brings up sites but will not connect and pops off! E-mail is the best app on here? Any ideas for debugging the web browser?
What a piece of junk!! Maybe it would work if I knew how to route and download a different browser!! If you just want to read email or have a very sluggish ereader, then this Micro Cruz Tablet is for you! Best use: as a paper weight or pee pad for a very small dog!! Disappointed that Woot would sell this without a warning about what to expect! Didn't expect it to work like an IPad but it should, at least, connect to the Internet! Bah humbug!!

I ran the idea by a close friend who seemed rather doubtful this recipe could be accomplished... which was all the motivation I needed. ;-)
These delicious little gems were created with angel hair pasta and whole milk mozzarella stuffed into one of the best restaurant-quality meatballs you've ever tasted. Yes... they're that good... but instead of taking my word for it, let's get started:
Step 1: Ingredients and Tools needed:
- 1/2 lb Hamburger Meat
- 1/2 lb Ground Chuck
- 5 oz (1 tub) Shredded Parmesan Cheese
- 2 Eggs
- 1 cup fresh Bread Crumbs from 2-3 slices of day-old French or Sour Dough Bread
- 1/3 cup whole Milk
- 2 cloves Garlic- finely minced
- 1 teaspoon Italian Seasoning mix
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 oz Angel Hair Pasta
- Whole Milk Mozzarella Cheese
- Garlic-Pepper Salt to season the water
- Blender or Food Processor
- Chopsticks (connected) or a cocktail fork
- Parchment Paper
Step 2: Pasta Prep:
- Add 2-3 inches of water to a stock pot.
- Generously season the water with Garlic salt and bring to a boil.
- Add whole, unbroken pasta.
- Cook al dente.
- Drain and rinse.
- Put pasta in a bowl and cover with ice water for several minutes to chill.
- Drain again.
Pile 1/2 cup cooked pasta on one side of the plate.
Insert (stab) the connected chopsticks into the center of the pasta and twirl it a few times until you have a quarter-sized ball of pasta.
Use the chopsticks to slide the pasta bundle out of the pile and off to the side. Twirl until the ball is tidy. Repeat the process until you have 18-20 pasta balls.
Freeze uncovered for 20 minutes.

Didn' t come out round but it did the trick.
Let me know when you figure out the pumpkin Pie one.
I have a new, radical idea for pumpkin pie... I just need to experiment with it.
lol... stay tuned!!!!!!! ;-D
BTW...Awesome idea and ible! Thanks!
I did an experiment, placing the raw meatballs in simmering pasta sauce for 10-12 minutes. They tasted wonderful and were fully cooked, but the presentation wasn't nearly as nice as the baked version. (pic of simmered meatballs below) They were also more delicate than the baked version.
I personally don't think these meatballs would hold up well if cooked for hours in a crock pot. I think the meat would tend to break down. They'd still taste great, but I doubt they'd resemble meatballs. ;-)
If it were me, I'd pre-bake the meatballs a day or 2 before the party and chill 'em in the frig. On Party Day, I'd put them in the CP, cover with sauce and cook on low for just a couple of hours to reheat.
Let me know how you decide to cook them and the end results!
Thanks so much for commenting... and please report back when you get a chance.
Congrats bro!\
Please come back and play!!!
Thank you, too! ;-)
I've also been taking a few sewing jobs, some just mending, but I'm making a whole house of curtains, and drapes for one lady (who drives me nuts), and teaching an 11 yr old how to sew....she's making a baby quilt. YIKES
Then I was invited by our local botanical garden to do a soapmaking demo (yesterday) and this morning they contacted me again about doing a 5 week soap making "boot camp"
I couldn't resist your spaghetti IN meatballs though, and sent a link to my son (who is the cook in his family)
Thanks for "missing" me
Hopefully, you'll be back to ibling soon!
The construction is definitely IRISH. We like to do things the
If you reply I'd like to hear more about the effect of mixing times.
Thanks so much for an excellent "I"
I think a lot of meatball-makers tend to knead (overwork) the meat. Too much compression changes the texture of the meatball, especially when fresh bread crumbs are being used.
The claw method of mixing (used in this recipe) takes 10-15 seconds. Tops.
The resulting meatball mixture is a tad sticky, which bodes well for stuffing/filling and adds to the overall success.
Thanks so much for your thoughtful comment. I would love to learn more about your eggless meatballs. I enjoy trying new things and I have about 20 lbs of ground chuck in my freezer! ;-D
All you have to do is highlight all the instructions and copy and paste them ( I use Word Pad to copy/paste them to,) then print it out, and you will have all that you need.
Hope this help's :>}}
The italians make a deep fried rice ball with a cube of mozzarella surprise in the center (don't know the name and I have had it in italy) which I love. I can only imagine but I imagine rice would make a poor center for you meatballs.
Both my parents were 1st generation American but my grandparents were born in Abbruzzi. They told me that in preparing for my parents wedding they collected meat food rations (WWII) and made meatballs for the reception. Maybe it was the kind of meat that was available here that wasn't available in Italy.
Thanks Playa!

- 1 Heat oven to 170C/150C fan/gas 3. Butter and line the base of a 900g loaf tin with greaseproof paper. Using an electric whisk, beat together the butter and sugar until light and creamy then beat in the eggs one at a time. Add the lemon zest and vanilla. Now beat in the flour and almonds until you have a thick batter. The batter should be loose enough that it falls off a wooden spoon, if it's too thick mix in a splash of milk.
- Tip the batter into the tin and smooth over the top. Bake for 55 mins – 1hr until a skewer inserted in the middle comes out clean. Remove from the oven then leave to cool for 15 mins then remove from the tin, peel away the paper and leave on a wire rack to cool completely before slicing. The loaf will keep in an airtight container for three days.

Comments, questions and tips
Made this cake yesterday - really delighted with the result, going to make another today as my family demolished it in seconds! We all agreed that whilst lovely and subtle - the lemon flavor could be ramped up a bit so planning to add a little fresh squeezed lemon juice as well as the rind of the lemon to the cake mixture this next time. Still - it was delicious, very pleased indeed :-)
Just waiting for my cake to cool down. I was really impressed by the result. I needed to add a splash of milk to mine as I thought it was a little too thick. I also cooked mine in a 7" square cake tin and it cooked nicely. It needed an extra 15 mins to what was stated for the round cake suggestion.
I will definitely be amking this again. Especially if it tastes as good as it looks! :)
Wow - I just took this out the over about an hour ago and my husband has demolished half of it already! I made it into a lemon drizzle cake by mixing lemon juice and icing sugar, pricking some holes in the cake with a fork and then pouring the lemon icing over. It's divine. The cake is moist and tastes beautiful. I used the zest of 2 small lemons, I might add a little more next time as it's quite subtle. This is a fantastic recipe and so easy to make. YUM!!

Based:Versailles, France
Team Principal:Yves Matton
Current Car:Citroen DS3 WRC
Manufacturers' Titles:2003, 2004, 2005, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012
Driver:Mikko Hirvonen, Sebastien Loeb
Manufacturer WRC Wins:90 at end of 2012 season
The results speak for themselves: manufacturers' champions in 2003, 2004, 2005, and every year between 2008 and 2012, and the power behind each of Sebastian Loeb's nine championship titles. Citroen remains the team all the others want to beat.
And it's all happened relatively recently. Prior to 1996, Citroen could boast little success at rallying's top level, preferring instead to focus on off-road endurance events with its ZX Rally Raid car. By the mid-1990s, though, Citroen was turning its focus back to pure rallying. Early development in 1996 and 1997 focused on the ZX hatchback, which claimed the Spanish national title in 1997 in the hands of asphalt ace Jesus Puras. In 1998, the focus switched to the new Xsara and work started on a World Rally Car in 1999.
The Xsara made its WRC debut proper in Catalunya in 2001. It was an impressive start, with Puras and test driver Philippe Bugalski running one-two until they retired with mechanical problems. Bugalski took sixth on the gravel of Greece, but the car showed its real forte on asphalt, with Puras leading Sanremo and winning in France. Meanwhile a young Frenchman called Sebastian Loeb won the Super 1600 title in a Citroen Saxo and joined the team to score second in Sanremo.
In 2002, Citroen competed in just eight rounds of the WRC, focusing instead on developing the car ahead of its first full-time assault in 2003. Early results were mixed before the benefits of testing were felt with a strong performance on the Safari, but it was again on asphalt that Loeb and Citroen shone, with Sebastien winning in Germany.
For 2003, Loeb faced an all-star line-up of rivals including Carlos Sainz and Colin McRae, but the team stalwart raised his game superbly, going head-to-head with Subaru's Petter Solberg for the title and helping the team to its first manufacturers' award. Citroen pledged to give Loeb the drivers' crown in 2004 and delivered in spades, with a campaign that remains one of the most dominant in the WRC's recent history.
Off-season focus on a new C4 WRC opened the possibility that Citroen could be beaten in 2005, but renewed focus, superb Michelin tyres and a stunning campaign by Loeb produced new WRC records for wins in a season (10 for Loeb; 11 for Citroen) and successive wins (six for Loeb) as well as both titles.
In 2006 Citroen took a year out of the WRC. The reigning manufacturers' champions were represented at rallying's top level instead by privateer outfit Kronos Racing which ran an updated, 2006-spec version of the Xsara WRC. The team gave Sebastian Loeb his third consecutive drivers' title, but Citroen's run of makes' titles was ended by rival, Ford.
For 2007 the full Citroen Sport squad was back, and this time with the eagerly awaited C4 WRC. Loeb was back in red and white overalls too, with Dani Sordo supporting in a second C4. But while Loeb emerged victorious, winning eight rallies to clinch his fourth consecutive drivers' crown, Citroen was unable to prevent Ford from taking a second successive manufacturers' success.
In 2008 the potent combination of Citroen, Loeb, Sordo and the C4 WRC were back in the title hunt and this time they delivered in both contests; scattering records left, right and centre. Securing his fifth consecutive drivers' title on the penultimate round in Japan, Loeb beat his own record for the number of wins in a season - taking his 11th triumph in Great Britain. Citroen, meanwhile, beat Ford to the manufacturers' title on the final round.
The success story continued in 2009, when Citroen fended off a determined fight back from Ford in the second half of the season to collect a fifth WRC manufacturers' award on the penultimate round of the season. Loeb, meanwhile, completed another championship double by wrapping up the drivers' accolade - his sixth - on the Rally GB season finale.
Despite talk of retirement, Loeb continued to front the Citroen squad and once again took the title after scoring on all 13 rounds in 2010. While Loeb sparkled, Sordo struggled and was overshadowed by Sebastien Ogier, the rising star of the Citroen Junior Team, who would replace the Spaniard on the late-season gravel events. Sordo's woes failed to derail Citroen's push for the manufacturers' crown, which it won for a sixth time.
Citroen enjoyed another incredible season in 2011, winning 10 of the 13 rounds. It made the perfect transition to the new-generation technical regulations with the 1.6-litre DS3 WRC maintaining the exceptional record established by the Xsara WRC and C4 WRC. With Loeb and Ogier - a permanent member of the main factory team following his performances in 2010 - winning five rounds each, Citroen dominated the manufacturers' race, with Loeb taking an eighth consecutive drivers' title.
In 2012, Citroen carried on its relentless progress, with a total of 10 wins from 13 starts. It remains to be seen if it can repeat the feat in 2013: all eyes are on the new VW Polo R WRC. No-one knows if the VW will mount a worthwhile attack in 2013, or whether it will be 2014 before it becomes a real threat.

The added regulations would have prevented the vast majority of the accidents that occurred before the late 1980s, EPA officials contend.
"The requirements weren't as rigorous, the testing wasn't as rigorous and in some cases the shallow aquifers were contaminated," Kobelski said. "The program is not the same as it was when we first started."
Today's injection program, however, faces a new set of problems.
As federal regulators toughened rules for injecting hazardous waste, oil and gas companies argued that the new standards could drive them out of business. State oil and gas regulators pushed back against the regulations, too, saying that enforcing the rules for Class 2 wells – which handle the vast majority of injected waste by volume -- would be expensive and difficult.
Ultimately, the energy industry won a critical change in the federal government's legal definition of waste: Since 1988, all material resulting from the oil and gas drilling process is considered non-hazardous, regardless of its content or toxicity.
"It took a lot of talking to sell the EPA on that and there are still a lot of people that don't like it," said Bill Bryson, a geologist and former head of the Kansas Corporation Commission's Conservation Division, who lobbied for and helped draft the federal rules. "But it seemed the best way to protect the environment and to stop everybody from just having to test everything all the time."
The new approach removed many of the constraints on the oil and gas industry. They were no longer required to conduct seismic tests (a stricture that remained in place for Class 1 wells). Operators were allowed to test their wells less frequently for mechanical integrity and the area they had to check for abandoned wells was kept to a minimum – one reason drilling waste kept bubbling to the surface near Chico.
Soon after the first Chico incident, Texas expanded the area regulators were required to check for abandoned waste wells (a rule that applied only to certain parts of the state). Doubling the radius they reviewed in Chico to a half mile, they found 13 other injection or oil and gas wells. When they studied the land within a mile – the radius required for review of many Class 1 wells – officials discovered another 35 wells, many dating to the 1950s.
The Railroad Commission concluded that the Chico injection well had overflowed: The target rock zone could no longer handle the volume being pushed into it. Trying to cram in more waste at the same speed could cause further leaks, regulators feared. The commission set new limits on how fast the waste could be injected, but did not forbid further disposal. The well remains in use to this day.
In late 2008, samples of Chico's municipal drinking water were found to contain radium, a radioactive derivative of uranium and a common attribute of drilling waste. The water well was a few miles away from the leaking injection well site, but environmental officials said the contaminants discovered in the water well were unrelated, mostly because they didn't include the level of sodium typical of brine.
Since then, Ed Cowley, the public works director, said commission officials have continued to assure him that brine won't reach Chico's drinking water. But since the agency keeps allowing more injection and doesn't track the cumulative volume of waste going into wells in the area, he's skeptical that they can keep their promise.
"I was kind of like, 'You all need to get together and look at the total amount you are trying to fit through the eye of the needle,'" he said.
When sewage flowed from 20 Class 1 wells near Miami into the Upper Floridan aquifer, it challenged some of scientists' fundamental assumptions about the injection system.
