The Iranian Uprising is Home Grown, and Must Stay That WayFriday, June 19, 2009
The growing nonviolent insurrection in Iran against the efforts by the
ruling clerics to return the ultra-conservative and increasingly
autocratic incumbent president Mahmoud Ahmadinjead to power is
growing. Whatever the outcome, it represents an exciting and
massive outpouring of Iranian civil society for a more open and
pluralistic society.
Ironically, defenders of Ahmadinejad's repression are trying to blame everyone from the U.S. government to nonviolent theorist Gene Sharp to various small NGOs engaged in educational efforts on strategic nonviolent action as somehow being responsible for the popular uprising in Iran. It appears to be based upon the rather bizarre assumption that millions of Iranians would somehow be willing to pour out onto the streets in the face of violent repression by state security forces only because they have been directed to do so by people from an imperialist power which overthrew their last democratic government and subsequently propped up the tyrannical regime they installed in its place for the next quarter century.
Even putting aside the bizarre spectacle of self-proclaimed "leftists" coming to the defense of a right-wing fundamentalist autocratic like Ahmadinejad, this claim ignores several key factors:
1) Neo-conservatives and other American hawks were hoping for a victory by the hard-line incumbent to justify their opposition to President Barack Obama's tentative steps at rapprochement with the Islamic Republic.The Neo-Cons Supported Ahmadinejad
2) Opposition candidate Mir Hossein Mousavi and the vast majority of his supporters are strongly nationalist, anti-American, anti-imperialist, and would neither desire nor accept U.S. support.
3) There has been a longstanding Iranian tradition of such largely nonviolent civil insurrections against imperialist powers and autocratic rulers and no outside power is needed to convince the Iranian people to rebel.

Via: Major Nelson | News Archive | Tags: Microsoft, Xbox 360, Xbox Live, NASDAQ: MSFT, Pizza Hut
That is pretty cool, might have to see about pizza tonight if you get an extra 15% knocked off for using an xbox.
ok is it just me or the fine line between convenience and sheer laziness being blurred more and more every day. I mean one day we wont need limbs
Heh with this you really don't since it will do voice commands :P
Pizza Hut pizza doesn't so much have greasy crust as they have crusty grease.
True but stuffed crust pizza is still good.
First app yes but Everquest 2 had a command /pizza that would launch (at least initially) a web browser to allow you to order a pizza so you didn't have to leave the game. I believe it ultimately failed because they couldn't get the web browser to work in game cleanly enough. From Wiki
In February 2005, EverQuest II began allowing players to place an order for pizza delivery from within the game, with a simple and easy command typed into the chat bar, "/pizza".[2] This promotion has since ended, but generated significant press for the game.
Hey guys
I'm a newbie here so hopefully I can create some entertaining input here. Hopefully I can contribute to the forum because its a pretty cool crowd here, people provide some pretty cool things. I think that stuffed crust pizza is the best and remains the best so far, until they invent something new, probably soon. I agree with @ajm531 as its just becoming a sheer lazy world ....infact its coming to the point that its so easy to order from your xbox or phone etc etc you shouldn't eat a pizza because you haven't burnt enough calories in attaining the pizza. As we are talking pizza, you might find this interesting, hopefully its a good contribution to the forum and for you all as its a pizza font that you might find handy... http://www.fontsaddict.com/font/pizzadudefatoutline.html

While speaking on Flames TV, Brian Burke touched upon a few other things in addition to his response to John Tortorella. He spoke about the future of Bob Hartley, the continuing search for a GM, thoughts on Sean Monahan, and goaltending within the Flames franchise.
Burke confirmed that Bob Hartley will be coaching the Flames next year. As was previously written, Burke clearly stated that "Bob is exactly what I want." In reference to the search for a new GM, Brian stated that they will continue looking now that the Flames season is over and the new GM will decide whether or not to keep Hartley on as coach.
I think the Flames team works well under the direction of Hartley. I hope the new GM will be able to see this quickly and understand that resigning Hartley would be in the best interests of everyone.
Even though the Flames did not make playoffs for another year, Burke stated that it was not a "lost or wasted season" because of the "positive developments" that were made. He gave high praise to the coaching staff and some of the young players who have obviously proven to him that they are worthy of remaining at the NHL level.
One such player is Sean Monahan. Burke had nothing but positive feedback for the 19 year old, explaining that he had a great season and that "this kid played his way onto the team." He went on to say, "his parents did a good job…this is a great young man…a special kid."
As for goaltending, Burke made it abundantly clear that Karri Ramo will start in net next season because of his excellent play in the second half of the season, reiterating, "he deserves to come back here as the number one goaltender."
Burke also clearly explained that Ortio will not be the Flames back-up goaltender for an understandable reason, "I want him playing somewhere." I'm guessing that Joni Ortio will probably remain on the Flames AHL affiliate as starting goalie.
So, it seems that Burke is relatively happy with the Flames rise this season in spite of the fact that they didn't make playoffs. I believe most of the fan base would agree with you, Brian, because I know I do. The more I hear him speak, the more I realize that, although he may have his haters, I am not one of them. I like Burke's way of thinking and I agree with a lot of what he has to say. He's done good things for the Flames this season as Head Of Hockey Operations and I believe he has the teams best interest in mind.
Thank you, Burkie, for all you've done so far!

Court Case To Test GNU GPL
Soulskill posted more than 3 years ago | from the doesn't-play-nice-with-others dept.371
ciaran_o_riordan writes "Tomorrow, a German court will hear the case of AVM, a distributor of Linux-based routers, which seeks to block Cybits from distributing software that modifies the routers' software to add content-filtering functionality. Free Software Foundation Europe explains: 'AVM justified its position using three arguments. First, they stated that their whole product software must be regarded as an entity under AVM copyright, and that this entity must not be modified. The position Mr. Welte [founder of gpl-violations.org and copyright holder of several parts of the Linux kernel] took was that the whole product software would in that case be a derivative work according to the GPL, and thus the whole product software should be licensed under the GNU GPL. AVM then switched to a second argument: that the software embedded on its DSL terminals consisted of several parts. According to Mr. Welte, AVM could then not prohibit anyone from modifying or distributing the GPL licensed software parts. The final argument by AVM was that the software on their DSL terminals is a composition of several different programs, which, due to the creative process, would be a protected compilation and thus under the copyright of AVM and not affected by the copyleft of the GPL.'"

Reform of UK copyright exceptions — caricature, parody or pastiche
After many months of anticipation, the UK government has announced the finalised wording of its proposed reform of UK copyright exceptions. They will now go before Parliament, with an expected commencement date of 1 June 2014, almost three years after they were recommended by the Hargreaves Review. The new exceptions are the most direct outcome of the Hargreaves Review. One of the review's recommendations was that all exceptions available under EU law should be exploited. In addition, it suggested that the law should be clarified so that no exception to copyright could be overridden by contract.
A number of new and revised exceptions will be introduced, via five statutory instruments, but the ones of most widespread and general commercial impact are likely to be the exceptions for:
- fair dealing quotation of works (whether for criticism or review or otherwise)
- fair dealing of works for the purposes of caricature, parody or pastiche
- the making of personal copies of works (other than computer programs) for private use
There are also provisions preventing rights holders from including in their licences terms that prevent or restrict the doing of any of these acts, the so-called 'contract override' provisions. These could have substantial practical impact…

- Studio: Regent Releasing
- Release Date: Mar 13, 2009
- Starring: Kyôko Koizumi, Teruyuki Kagawa, Yû Koyanagi
- Summary: Tokyo Sonata is a portrait of a seemingly ordinary Japanese family. The father who abruptly loses his job conceals the truth from his family; the eldest son in college hardly returns home; the youngest son furtively takes piano lessons without telling his parents; and the mother, who knows deep down that her role is to keep the family together, cannot find the will to do so. From the exterior, all is normal and the same. But somehow, a single, unforeseeable chasm has appeared within the family, threatening to disintegrate them. Director Kurosawa's use of light and dark to express a sense of simultaneous hope and horror verges on awe-inspiring and the ending will leave you enthralled. (Regent Releasing)… Expand

Score distribution:
Positive: 21 out of 22
Mixed: 1 out of 22
Negative: 0 out of 22
Kurosawa's film is heavyweight fare: disturbing, slightly over the top, but satisfying, like a rich meal with a powerful aftertaste.
Known for distinctive horror movies like "Cure" and "Pulse," inventive Japanese filmmaker Kiyoshi Kurosawa finds just the right melancholy tone to suit a new and all too familiar kind of horror: economic downsizing.
Bold, acutely observant and universal in its wide-ranging concerns and implications.
Tokyo Sonata, looks like a family melodrama -- if a distinctly eccentric variant on the typical domestic affair -- there is more than a touch of horror to its story of a salaryman whose downsizing sets off a series of cataclysmic events.
Although envisioned before the world economy went to hell, Tokyo Sonata is relevant to the mess we're in now.
A disconcerting melange, Tokyo Sonata begins rather conventionally before spinning into black comic, almost fantastical, terrain.
Director Kiyoshi Kurosawa is better known for horror films; this is a movie where the horror is internalized, and hideously truthful.

Feb 14, 2011"Tokyo Sonata" is microcosm of Japan's "Lost Decade" that uses an average middle-class family to tell a story that challenges tradition and extols renewal and discovery.

The acting was more-than-believable, even with two youth actors. What I enjoyed most, perhaps what I like about foreign films in general, is the words unsaid were more profound than the dialogue. This isn't a date movie, but if you want to take a look at the human condition for a few hours, I highly recommend it.… Expand

"Nature has given you everything. You have got unlimited resources. The foundations of your state have been laid, and it is now for you to build, and build as quickly as you can. So go ahead, I wish you Godspeed"
Quaid-e-Azam Mohammad Ali Jinnah
Pakistan is blessed with abundance of renewable energy potential but so far it has not been harnessed except for large hydroelectric projects. The Ministry of Water and Power has prepared the Renewable Energy Policy of Pakistan in 2006, which envisages mainstreaming of renewable energy in the development plans of the country. The renewable energy according to the scope of the policy includes technologies like small hydro, solar photovoltaic and wind power generation.
The Government of Punjab, under the vision of Chief Minister Shahbaz Shariff, has dedicated 6500 acres of land near Lal Sohanra, Cholistan, Bahawalpur for the purpose of establishing a 1000 MW Solar Park for generation of electricity from the solar energy. This is an initiative of Government of the Punjab (GoPb), Pakistan to reduce reliance on fossil fuels in generation of electricity and to overcome the ever expanding gap between energy production and demand. 500 acres have been reserved to set up the first 100 MW PV Solar Power Plant.
This project aims to mark the beginning of the Province's journey towards generation of renewable energy and a cleaner and greener future.

POZ Perspective: GameChanger World - John D's Experiment To Shakeup Our Musical Experience
GameChanger World is a new creation from John D, better known as the man behind Bamboozle and Skate & Surf, and he's beginning to take the wraps off of his multi-year quest, which will launch in May. PropertyOfZack is excited to be posting a new Perspective from Erik van Rheenen today that takes us behind the scenes on GCW, the thought process going into it, where John D hopes to take it, and so much more. Check out the Perspective below!
The best classic video games boast timeless heroes, ones we remember without having to dust off the ole' consoles. The Legend of Zelda has Link. Super Mario features Super Mario. Sonic the Hedgehog has, well, you get the point. If GameChanger World went 8-bit, it would feature a spritely pixelated John D'Esposito.
D'Esposito has the makings of a bona-fide video game protagonist. The concert promoter is outspoken (even while battling a bout of laryngitis), crazy (by his own admittance) and isn't on his first go-round in the questing business. First came The Birth of Bamboozle. Then, The Resurrection of Skate & Surf. Now, D'Esposito is drawing his proverbial sword once again, this time crashing the mobile game industry to slay a new dragon's ass.
Because just like every video game worth its playtime flaunts a memorable hero, that hero is pretty much worthless if he doesn't have a rival to match wits with. And D'Esposito's archrival is a hulking behemoth that won't go down without a fight: the concert business, D'Esposito's kingdom, is getting trampled by electronic dance music.
"Why does a concert promoter get into video games?" D'Esposito asks before answering his own question. "When the concert business gets destroyed by EDM."
DJs are killing live music, and John D'Esposito knows why. "They're beating us with visual," he says heatedly. "EDM shows funnel energy like a roller coaster. The only way to fix our roller coaster is to match it — higher highs and no drops." GameChanger World is D'Esposito's blueprint for building a roller coaster that only goes up.
DJ sets, D'Esposito notes, have that down to a science. Raves build and build before partygoers leave the dance floor a sopping wet pool of sweat. Live music though, in the current scene, waxes and wanes. Go to your typical tour billing, and you're stuck waiting ten, twenty minutes between sets waiting for bands to shuffle equipment onstage for soundcheck. So what do you do? You pull out your phone and start playing games.
"It's an epidemic," D'Esposito warns prophetically, "And it's going to be an epidemic. Eventually there's going to be no more computer games or consoles because everything's going to be mobile. And I'm not going to sit there and watch my job die. I'm going to join the party. I'm going to throw the party."
Skate and Surf's homecoming after eight years off brings it back to the boardwalks of Freehold, New Jersey, the sort of boardwalk D'Esposito uses to explain his artist-powered mobile gaming platform. The artists, who tag-team with game developers, are the rides. They draw the crowds. GameChanger is the power company. It keeps the rides open. The same mobility that D'Esposito saw ruining live music doubles as his plan to save it. The D'Esposito Plan — bad pun drumroll, please — is to change the game, in more ways than one.
But D'Esposito's a man of many metaphors, and the one he uses to explain how he persuaded game developers to step onboard is definitely more seasonal. For every starving artist, there's a starving developer. After all, there's only one Angry Birds in a scattering of thousands and thousands of apps. So, like a Claymation Santa Claus, D'Esposito flew his proverbial sleigh over to the Island of Misfit Game Developers to
recruit them. "I'm the crazy idiot calling them, explaining why the music industry needs this."
When he talks about the games that are in development already — he says ten should be ready for Skate and Surf ("It isn't the biggest exposure, but the right exposure," D'Esposito said about the festival), and hopes to release six to eight games and updates a month — his voice brims over with eager energy.
Fans get to flip 360s with Buddy Nielsen on a skateboard, punch out baddies with Miss May I's Levi Benton, run around and scarf down brownies as T. Mills, and in one of D'Esposito's favorite twists of fate, play Frogger as Anthony Green. "I thought he'd want to do some really spacey adventure game," he laughs, "But I sit down with Anthony and he tells me he wants to use the Frogger engine."
The science behind bands and developers as teammates is a relatively simple one. The band gets a sheet of game engines to pick from. The rest of the designing process is a perfect storm of compromise and collaboration. Bands get wholeheartedly invested in their games, and some games got delayed because of what D'Esposito refers to as "some of the greatest conversations ever." From haircuts to tattoos, bands want to make damn sure everything is exactly right about their avatar selves.
"Three tattoos have held up four games," D'Esposito jokes. "Developers are artists too."
When D'Esposito first chased the GameChanger dream he set out to look for twenty artists. Now, he's sorting through at least sixty. His goal is to release thirty games by October 1 and 60 by the end of the year. D'Esposito launched GameChanger World at the beginning of February, and proudly boasts that fans went bonkers. "Everyone that was there," he says, "They got it."
Mobile gaming might be an epidemic, but it's at least an epidemic D'Esposito understands. He knows the value of a six-minute experience. If a kid sits with his head down playing a game for a few minutes, his friends are going to ask what he's playing. It's not rocket science: just simple teenage politics. In the few minutes when a casual gamer flips on his iPhone, there's money to be made.
It's a brand new revenue column for young bands. The best band for D'Esposito is the middle band on a big tour lineup; those are the soldiers he tries to enlist in the war to save a floundering concert business, one app at a time. The list so far is impressive — Senses Fail, Bayside, Forever the Sickest Kids, Andrew W.K. And it just keeps growing.
GameChanger World games are free, and prizes aren't digital bullshit. "On Foursquare, you'll be mayor and that means absolutely nothing," he laughs. "With GameChanger, you can win an autographed poster." The games will be downloadable from the bands' iTunes pages and in-game ads will feature their own music. D'Esposito said he's asking bands to trust him with their career, but there's really nothing to lose.
"If it doesn't work out, at least they'll have a cool game to show kids," D'Esposito says.
GameChanger isn't going to solve the problem of kids playing on their phones during concerts by, well, giving kids more games to play during concerts. So D'Esposito wants GameChanger to craft both a community and an experience. Instead of expanding the rift between fans and bands, GameChanger aims to narrow the gap. "Do you think a band will look at a leaderboard and want some kid to be better than them at their own game?"
There's one more thing that rings true about the pantheon of video game heroes: they're all pretty much crazy. Super Mario chucks fireballs and wolfs down mushrooms. Link suffers from time travel neurosis. Sonic the Hedgehog is a blue hedgehog. And John D'Esposito is a music industry maverick. "I can't drink the Kool Aid anymore," he says. "It tastes fucking terrible."
But it takes a special kind of crazy to tackle the big problems. Would a perfectly sane Mario duke it out with Bowser? No, he'd stay home and clean pipes. (Fitting imagery, since D'Esposito quipped that it's "gonna take a hundred plumbers to fix this shithole.") Would Link square off with Ganondorf without a few loose screws? He'd let some other poor sap try to do the impossible. D'Esposito thinks he's the only one crazy enough for the GameChanger undertaking, and he just might be.
GameChanger built a virtual boardwalk, and John D'Esposito is almost ready to turn on the carnival lights and calliope music. He goes back to give the straight answer to the question that started it all: Why does a concert promoter get into video games?
Because he has to.

preorder in june
comes out on non-specific date in 2014
reeks of
"give us money to finish this"ethricdouble, pip_, and andyvine this'd this
which is totally fine
but just call it that, innit
just do one of those pledgefund things
actually hilarious
this bandcocodaLOL this'd this
I want to listen to it and really don't all at the same time
That trailer was bloody useless and almost bereft of sound - this has to be one of the most work-shy bands in existence! Someone please tell Som that he blew it and just go back to the day job already
stop being so fucking miserable
christ it must suck to be you
Ooh that cut deep
I realise that a lot of my posts have come from this negative headspace, which can be traced to endlessly scanning online for a new my vitriol album...that never came...*sobs bitterly*
I was hoping for new music.
But clearly not. I doubt they've even written it tbh.
And I bet everyone here will still label it a forward-thinking masterpiece.
I just want grungy shoegazey pop songs goddamnit!
There were a bunch of new songs at the show at Koko last month
Really good ones, from what I remember. I'd say I'm feeling tempered optimism, with an overarching sense of "eh, something's always better than nothing".
Also it's only Som and Ravi left in the band with Ringo Starr's former burlesque dancer granddaughter on bass and another guy on guitar. Kind of like their obvious idols Smashing Pumpkins then, really, but on a smaller scale.
some of the new material has been awesome
and moodswings i think was probably the best thing they did back then, was so psyched for a new album when that came out. testament to them that people care at all this many years later. don't expect it to have the same effect on me but there's no reason it wont be as good. that said, seth will be missed.
Ringo Deathstarr
now THERE'S a first tier shoegaze act...amyblue this'd this
I'm fascinated by this band
how can they afford to be working on a record for fourteen years? Surely they've all gone back to actual jobs or something by now? It's so bizarre.
don't get the love for this band
third tier shoegaze with two ok singles, and that's about it
Album in 2014? You've got to be kidding
I'm not going to pre-order something over six months before it can possibly show up on my doorstep. Three months tops. As said in this thread before, no-one would begrudge them a Kickstarter style project.
They've got new tour dates towards the end of the year. Will expect a single or EP around then.
I *love* how this is still the official MyVitriol site.
Looks like it's been knocked together on FrontPage in 1997.
looks like they're taking advantage
and riding the mbv bandwagon
the "enjoy my vitrioll"
coke t-shirt couldn't be more mid-90's if it triedethricdouble this'd this
when they played d2d they were selling tshirts with the myspace logo
but saying myvitriol (of course).
They were £4 and you got a free poster with it.
They had badges with that for 50p at the last gig
magnificently awful merchandising
Emailed for preorder today to see if anything would happen
And it did.
Greetings Earthlings!
Thank you all for emailing in. We have some news for you :)
We are recording our new album over summer and felt it would be in the spirit of rock 'n' roll to have all you lovely people involved from the start. This week the pre-orders go live for the NEW ALBUM via an exclusive page which will be the portal leading up to the release of the record early next year.
Those who pre-order will get access to exclusive content, limited & one-off experiences and we'll be posting photos, videos, demos, blogs and anything else we can think of along the way.
MV will be releasing a track in October and to coincide have announced fan shows around the UK:
Oct 22 BRISTOL Fleece & Firkin
Oct 23 MANCHESTER Gorilla
Oct 24 GLASGOW King Tuts
I got that email
Didnt pre-order though :|
And lo, behold the Pledge Music Kickstarter thing
big fan of how the bio on that
was clearly written circa 2007
Extra Halloween show at Heaven on the 27th
That's pretty small for them. Halloween after party if you're willing to drop another £15 on top of the £20 ticket.
If you get the lyrics to a song written down (£29), can you send them back if you don't think the handwriting is neat enough?
it's actually 361 days after halloween
they're just running a bit behind schedule
FFS. Get 150% of Kickstarter, start cancelling dates...
Starting to look like when an old lady dies and someone keeps cashing in their pension
but no one ever sees the person.
In all fairness, I really like Finelines so I like that they're doing this, it reminds me to listen to it.
Fourteen years.
Saw them in Bristol last night
Played loads of new stuff, seemed in the most part heavier. Totally front loaded the set with new stuff. Due on stage at 9.30, came on at 10, to a restless crowd, played til half 11 by which time 2 thirds of the crowd had left. Still using the finelines backdrop, still trying to shift their awful merch (including the myspace t shirt). Apparently recording the album next month
Not sure if I enjoyed it or not. It wasn't helped by the couple in front of me who seemed to be acting out an episode of Skins
Surely they didn't get new t shirts printed?!
Have they been gathering dust for the past however many years then?
they are a very good live band in my experience
Finelines is excellent, one of the few albums from my teeens I still rate really highly.
Odd to think theyd be about 5 or 6 albums in if they carried on at a 'normal' pace.
posted too soon
I am somewhat lacking enthusiasm for this gig, I'm not sure why as I like them live (I'm actually a bit poorly). Your review has done nothing to encourage me to go along.
I went to the Koko show in May
They were very good. Charming, even. The new stuff is great and the old stuff has been given a bit of a shake up. On the strength of that I'd recommend it
so, I went along to this last night
Loved it. Good blend of new and old. I havethe setlist somewhere in my bag if anybody wants to see what kind of thign they're doing (although I believe the list was a bit different from Bristol.)
London city lights clip…
War of the Worlds
The Gentle art of choking
It's so damn easy
Vapour trails
Under the wheels
Cast aspersions
Windows & Walls
Kohlstream -> cemented shoes
Spirit Still Remains
Ode to the Red queen
Taprobane -> losing touch
The agonies & the ectstasies
Night call
Alpha waves -> Always : your way
Tongue tied –> C.O.R.
I always seem to miss them live when they've come up here
Good to know they're still putting on a decent performance, I am very intrigued in how the new stuff sounds as I loved Finelines!
New stuff sounds really promising
As everyone is saying, let's just hope they actually bring out the bloody record now.
Not least because
a number of people (myself included) have actually paid for it now. Before it was their prerogative.
yeh I mean they nearly played all of finelines
Plus the new songs.
No Pieces!?

Well, here it is, gays. Put down your military-themed pornography and rush down to the recruiting office. That's what it's going to be like. It's going to be like (NSFW) Grunts except with real Army guys, and you can just sit in your bunk and talk about how gay you are and no one is going to care. Then you teach all the other recruits about how fun poppers are and you all sit up huffing Rush and giggling into the middle of the night and it's just going to be great and amazing and you'll be surrounded by buff young men in their underwear and it will all be great
The military has begun accepting applications from openly gay recruits but will not act on them until the legal ban on openly gay service is lifted Tuesday, says a Pentagon official.
The fate of the 17-year-old law known as "don't ask, don't tell," which bars openly gay Americans from serving in the military, is expected to be decided before Congress goes home prior to year's end.
On Tuesday, the Pentagon is set to release its 10-month review, including a survey of service members, "of the issues associated with a repeal" of the controversial law.
A letter written in September 2010 to Defense Secretary Gates by Senator John McCain reveals that McCain urged Gates to modify the Pentagon troop survey so that it would ask the troops whether the ban on gays serving openly should be lifted and not on how to implement a repeal, the Wonk Room reports:
Begged McCain:
"I urge you and Admiral Mullen to modify the review and the survey instrument, or to conduct supplemental surveys, aimed at ensuring that the question of whether the DADT policy should be changed is answered."
Gates responded to McCain that it would be unwise to put such issues to a popular vote.
Wrote Gates: "I do not believe that military policy decisions — on this or any other subject — should be made through a referendum of Servicemembers."
Added Gates: "The Chairman and I fully support the approach and the efforts of the working group, as do the Service Chiefs. We are confident that the working group's report will provide us with the information we need to appropriately advise the President, and, if requested to do so, to provide our fully informed views to Congress as it considers legislative action."
Federal law restricts openly gay men and women from serving in the Army; in effect, that means that gay men and women who join the military are required to hide their sexuality. And yet photographer Jeff Sheng has had no problem getting them to talk. In fact, his latest photo project, Don't Ask, Don't Tell, came about somewhat organically, after several gay military personnel had contacted him.
Senate Democrats will keep a "Don't Ask Don't Tell" repeal in the defense authorization bill next month. This is your last chance, gays, and supporters of gays, so consider telephoning your particular plutocrat. Then we can stop talking about this!
If a few homos really had the ability to cripple history's most powerful military industrial complex, then I want the federal government to start paying me annually so that I might refrain from using my awesome gay sparkle rainbow powers of destruction for evil.

I have tried to purchase at this web site, the site is not "comleted", so you cant purchase anything. I sent an email to their info address andit was returned because it is full.
I would bet the site and the product has been abandoned.
Every mention of the product that I found was written by someone attached to the product.

Josef Danhauser, Liszt at the piano (1840). Commissioned by the Viennese piano maker Conrad Graf, following a series of concerts that Liszt gave in Vienna to raise money for the Beethoven monument in Bonn. The painting was made on a wooden panel from Graf's factory.
From left to right are Alexandre Dumas père, Victor Hugo, George Sand, Nicolo Paganini, Gioacchino Rossini, Franz Liszt, and Marie d'Agoult. Byron's portrait hangs on the wall behind them, and Anton Dietrich's bust of Beethoven sits on the piano's lid.

Suicide bombers drove three cars laden with explosives into a U.S. base, killing two American soldiers and wounding at least 17 more. The brazen attack, which was followed by fierce gun battles and a daring evacuation of the wounded by at least four American helicopters, came on a day of deadly violence across the country, including shootings suicide bombings, mortar attacks and roadside explosions. Civilians, Americans and the Iraqi security forces all were targets.

Final Report: No cause determined for hydraulic leak
Cessna 750 Citation X, New York, N.Y., April 3, 2008–The Citation X ran off the runway on landing at John F. Kennedy International Airport because of the copilot's failure to maintain directional control during the landing roll. A contributing factor was a loss of system A hydraulic fluid for undetermined reasons and the flight crew's failure to follow the checklist sequence.
The WM Aviation Citation was on approach when an EICAS warning illuminated, indicating the hydraulic fluid level on system A was low. The pilot and copilot completed the checklist procedures down to the blow-down of the landing gear but did not follow the checklist sequence. They failed to evaluate the hydraulic pump to see if the pressure could be restored. The flight crew turned on the A side pump, engaged the power transfer unit and lowered the landing gear.
When the airplane touched down, the brakes did not work, but the emergency brakes appeared to work. The copilot applied reverse thrust and the airplane started veering to the right, resulting in a loss of directional control. The airplane went off the right side of the runway and sheared off the left main landing gear before stopping. Download of the EICAS system revealed the copilot had not taken the right thrust reverser out of reverse thrust.

A long time ago in a— no wait, that opening has been taken. Okay never mind, I have a better one.
Our story begins in the slightly chilly, yet hospitable, basement of my parent's Pennsylvania home. It was the early 1990s, and we had to use our imaginations for 90% of our entertainment. One day, I became very interested in the old Atari system. The old girl took up residence under a small CRT television that had been living on a rickety old TV stand for several years. It was a device that was so advanced it required only a stick and one button to operate. My folks got it working for me and it was on this Atari that I got my first taste of video games. Donkey Kong, Space Invaders, Centipede and Pac-Man all helped whittle away the days when I couldn't be outside chasing the neighborhood cats.
My next door neighbors also owned a NES with the vast library of Super Mario Brothers and The Legend of Zelda. I'm sure they grew tired of my frequent visits, but they never truly showed it. My parents soon noticed that I grew bored with these two consoles. I clearly liked video games, but what was available wasn't sufficient to excite me anymore. They then decided to buy me a Super Nintendo Entertainment System for Christmas one year. It was that morning that it all began. My father and I quickly set up the system and inserted Super Mario World. It was the first video game that was ever truly mine, and it was a glorious moment. With controller in hand, I flicked the power switch and sat back watching the game fill the screen and listening to the unmistakable theme pour from the speakers. As I watched that little plumber run across the screen, I knew things would never be the same. A gamer was born that day, and he has never looked back since.
The SNES provided hours on hours of fun for me. I can't remember all of the games that I got to experience on that little grey box, but I do remember some of my favorites. Super Mario World, Mario Kart, Super Mario RPG, Mega Man X, Clay Fighter, Earthworm Jim and Donkey Kong Country are all titles that hold a special place in my gaming heart. Those were the games that started it all, and I'll never forget them. As the years passed I moved on from the SNES to the N64 and then to the GameCube. I bought tons of games for those systems and enjoyed just about every one of them. There were so many awesome titles released for those consoles that I couldn't possibly list all my favorites here. Read my comments on genres below, you'll probably think of some that I really liked.
I also own tons of PC games as well, and I enjoy those games just as much. I have been a purchaser of Nintendo's handhelds as well. I've owned every Game Boy from Game Boy Color up to the DS, although I don't plan on getting a 3DS at this moment. In more recent history, I made the jump from GameCube to Xbox several years ago, and have not been disappointed with that either. If you're keeping track, Halo 2 and Jade Empire were my first purchases. No, I wasn't an early adopter for the Xbox.
That brings us up to today. I currently own an Xbox 360, with a ton of titles, and my (hand built) gaming PC as well as a substantial library for my DS. I bought a PSP too, but it mostly holds down papers. My favorite genre of games has to be the RPG. Some people can't stand the length and complexity of a good RPG, but I love them. I'd take an RPG over a Call of Duty game any day. That isn't to say I don't like FPS games. I've had great fun with FPS games like Goldeneye, Battlefield, Medal of Honor and Halo. I liked the earlier Call of Duty games, but I feel that the new ones are starting to get stale. I'm also partial to adventure games like The Legend of Zelda even though some of the puzzles make me want to crush the controller. As for genres I don't like, I'm not a big fan of sports games or strictly puzzle games.
As for my history at That Game Hub, I came in around end of last year when I submitted a piece lampooning several gaming stereotypes. Man-about-town Spence decided that I didn't write like a total buffoon (then) and I deserved a place on the team. Ben and Brandon approved and here I am. My first review was for Poker Night at the Inventory, which you can take a look at by clicking on the handy hyperlink I embedded. I could probably write a lengthy piece on all my gaming favorites, but I'll save those for the Retro Game Rewinds. You do read those, right? Anyway, that is the short and sweet version of how I became the gaming nerd I am today. I hope you enjoyed my random narrations.

No SEO indicates no guests from search engines like google. Search engines can't categorise and rate your website if you don't optimise it for key words related to your organization.
Both onsite Search Engine Optimization and off site Search Engine Optimization should be compulsory from any website today.
SEO outcomes aren't prompt. The outcomes of SEO work done now might not become obvious, and may not be credited by research engines like google, for weeks, or perhaps months.
The newer your web site is, the more individual you are going to need to be. It does take a while to establish trust and power, and you shouldn't anticipate to out-rank older, competent websites, till you've produced both.
Begin doing Search Engine Optimization now.
Understand your opposition. Discover what the websites position in the 1st page for the key words you want to rate for have completed, onsite and off site, to make it happen.
No two sites are exactly the same. As there are numerous variants a SEO scheme that labored for somebody else's website isn't promised to perform for yours.
Should you commit time in developing on-line relationships and producing great content you will get big effects on a tiny budget.
Never think about your site to be completed. If you'd like your website to carry on to rank higher, bring more guests and make more revenue, then you certainly must always be increasing and enhancing it.
You aren't required to file your site to search engines like google. They've evolved past the idea of needing to be immediately notified when a fresh web site, or page on an internet site, is developed.
Get guidance straight from Google. Via their Webmaster Tools and Webmaster Tools Videos.
Be wary of Google punishments. A punishment from their website results in an important, and usually long term, reduction of guests to, as they possess a substantial share of the research market your
Get thoughts on your site from others.
Target useful key words. The more important your key words are, the quicker and simpler it's to rate for them, along with the larger the percent of visitors that will become purchasers.
If your choice is the incorrect key words, no matter what you do for onsite and off site Search Engine Optimization, you'll get hardly any visitors and/or visitants who don't transform into revenue.
Use Google's Keyword Planner. It offers an excellent listing of content regarding the tips that you simply enter involved with it.
Low quality backlinks and/or poor onsite content can simply lead to your website being penalised by search engines like google.
Create content principally for individuals, not search engines. There's no use creating content that ranks good if it doesn't assist individuals, curiosity them, or get them to purchase from you.
Remove duplicate content. You might be penalised for having the same, or extremely similar, content on several pages of your website.
Create content to publish on other sites and weblogs. Folks are more prone to link to you in the event you give them content to make use of on their website.
You're fundamentally responsible for all of Search Engine Optimization work completed on your site. Make sure you understand what is going on or you will be penalised.
Setup and use Google-Analytics. To discover, among other issues, just how many visitors your website gets, the key words they utilize to locate it, and what webpages they see.
Diversify your visitors sources. Google is an excellent way to obtain traffic but being reliant on them for traffic sets you in a vulnerable situation.
Compose an unique, illustrative meta description for each page. Within 160 figures you must characterize the subject of a page in ways that gets individuals to click your web site rather than the other websites listed in the research engine results.
Make sure your content is great enough to be about the 1st page. In the event your content isn't better in relation to the content already in the 1st page to get a key word in that case your website doesn't deserve to rate there.
Remove, unite or include to webpages with tiny content to them. Having tons of content-mild pages, with brief page see times, may result in search engines downgrading your entire website's keyword ranks.
Don't reproduce content from other web sites. They might downgrade standings for some, if not all, of your web pages if search engines uncover that content on your own website was taken from else where.
Claim writing of your articles. Linking your Google account for your content enhances both ranks and click through rate.
Use PPC along with Search Engine Optimization. Then do equally, as even though PPC may be expensive, you may get visitors to your website straight away for almost any key words that you desire, if you're able to manage to do equally.
Create movies to share on your site and other sites like youtube and vimeo.
Create statistics/charts/graphs/info-graphics to share on sites like visual.ly
Balance producing content with advertising content. Should you produce content without selling it then individuals will fight to locate it, and they can't hyperlink to it or discuss it when they can't locate it.
Compose a special, descriptive title for each page. Within 65 figures you should make the subject of a full page clear to both people and search engines.
Make your content participating for visitors. The more participating it is, the longer individuals will always be on your website, and high seeing times sign to search engines that the website deserves great standings.
Longtail key words are a terrific supply of traffic. It's cheaper and quicker to rate for longer, unique key word phrases, and more than 40per cent of queries are constituted of four or more words.
This helps it be simpler for search engines like google to categorise and rate your pages.
Add key words in the proper spots.
Don't establish backlink objectives. Link construction should be a regular, constant, ongoing procedure, that doesn't quit when you get to a particular amount.
Get backlinks from related sources. Search engines like google desire to show relevant outcomes for every key word, and hyperlinks from related pages/websites certainly are a powerful sign to them that the website is important.
Get backlinks from trustworthy sources. Links from trustworthy websites sign to search engines that the website is trustworthy also.
Prepare yourself to work for top quality backlinks. Usually, the more readily it's possible to get a hyperlink, the less worth it'll probably have.
Existing connections are an immediate way to obtain backlinks. In case you inquire further to do this a number of your associates, providers and clients will link to your own website.
Get the backlinks that your competitors already has. If a person has previously linked to one among your competition then there's a fair possibility that they'll hyperlink to you should you provide them with a justification to also.
Pick up some backlinks with your intended keywords as the hyperlink text.
Compose news releases to talk about views and news.
Telephone individuals to acquire on-line relationships. E-Mails can simply be disregarded or overlooked, but calls not therefore much.
Take advantage of your web site to establish associations and trust. The more relationships you have, along with the more folks trust you, the more folks will speak about you, hyperlink to you, and, eventually, purchase from you.
Diversify your backlink account.
Get visitors to hyperlink to the internal-webpages of your website – the ones you intend to rate for unique key words – as well regarding the home page.
The higher individuals with useful websites understand you (through social websites, discussion groups, e-mail, etc.) the much more likely they'll be to hyperlink to your website also to discuss your content.
Contact small enterprises with useful sites. A great relationship, where you help encourage each others' websites, makes Search Engine Optimization cheaper and simpler for them and for you.
Avoid key word stuffing. You're considerably prone to be penalised on a typical page if you utilize a key word phrase frequently than credited.
Rankings are affected by backlinks more than other things. The quantity as well as caliber of links pointing to your own website will mostly determine in what place your website rankings.
Add your address and telephone number to each page of your web site. This establishes confidence and enhances standings if you're targeting key word phrases that include your township/metropolis name.
Get recorded in neighborhood and sector directories.
Be cautious of paying individuals to hyperlink to your web site. Purchasing backlinks can, and works, yet, there's a certain danger included should you get inexpensive ones and/or from individuals who openly put them up for sale.
Don't get involved with link networks. While the danger to be penalised and losing positions is high, the good thing about getting hyperlinks from networks is reduced.
Request clients to leave critiques on neighborhood directories and Google. Positive critiques enhance your standings in Google's local lists and could be obtained straight from your search engine results.
if you've taken actions on social websites to aid them, and when they see that you've assisted them, the probabilities of these helping you outside in return are greater.
Add societal sharing buttons to your web site.
Link outside to useful sites and weblogs.
Leave remarks on related weblogs and sites. Doing thus establishes associations and trust with individuals – both the website owners and visitors to all those websites.
Understand who's linking to you personally.
Subscribe to Ahrefs, Majestic Search Engine Optimization or Open Website Explorer. This provides you entry to wide-ranging backlink information for your website as well as your rivals' websites.
Be private in a sense that big companies can't be. Placing your identity and style across through the offsite Search Engine Optimization procedure (outreach e-mails, guest-posts, Tweets, etc.) makes the others more prone to participate along with you.
Use societal sites to encourage other people's content together with your own. Individuals usually understand
Add in-content hyperlinks to other useful pages on your site. Whilst much less precious as exterior links, internal hyperlinks do still pass sign and power for which key words to search engines what webpages to rate.
Remove unneeded outbound links. Only hyperlink to pages on other websites which you believe visitors to your website would locate helpful and/or intriguing.
Every page of your site needs to be connected to from at least another page.
Have immediate links from your own home page to your own most significant pages. Doing thus passes power from your welcome page to your own significant pages and enhances the ranks of these pages.
Webpages not are ranked by search engines, not web sites. If a page rates to get an unique
Key word depends mostly in the quality of the individual page, rather than the grade of your website in general.
Small businesses can rank greater than big companies. It's perhaps not unusual to get a page on a little business's website to rank higher than the usual page to the website of a large, national firm.
Purpose to maintain the best 3, maybe not simply the very best 10. If your website isn't rated in the very best 3 positions to get a key word then you'll just get a small percent (less than 10per cent) of the visitors from pursuit of that key word.
Standings may be deceptive. How many 1st page positions you have is unimportant if those
Understand where you're position.
Standings don't change to customer amounts and, finally, sales.
Don't worry about page-rank. Websites with a low-pr can, and frequently do, outrank websites using a higher PR.
Use heading tags.
Use abundant snippets. They offer added information about your website to search engines like google and may enhance the looks of your website's list in search engine results.

Mayor says �Don�t run for me.�
October 21, 2013
(AP) - A mayor in central Pennsylvania has an unusual campaign message: Don't vote for me. Bob Wiser is running unopposed for a second term as mayor of Port Matilda, a community near Penn State University. The 70-year-old mayor recently decided he'd rather leave the post. But he missed the deadline for taking his name off the ballot.

Can't Start: How Can you Test Distributor?
Can't Start: How Can you Test Distributor?
You mentioned that you have no spark at the plug, but your coil is working. Did you check to see if you have spark at the end of the coil wire that plugs into the distributor? You'll need to go back to basic's. Check coil wire for spark. If yes, Are your plug wires installled in the right firing order? Is your distributor reinstalled at No. 1 at TDC and your rotor is sitting on No.1 firing order. Check to insure that your distributor wire harness is pluged in and making good contact. Post back your findings.
If the flat top dist.
The dist does not control the firing or spark one the flat top capdist.
It just points it in the direction of the right cylinders.
Also make sure dist and rotor is turning when engine is cranking.
Thank you both for you comments. Yes, I did test the coil wire coming from the Coil, and yes, I did receive another jolting experience. Thank you MT for the pic. This makes complete sense. I have been pointing it toward the #1 plug, but not towards the six on the flattop. Any suggestions on how to move the oil pump so the distributor seats properly? I put a flathead screwdriver down the distributor with a vise grip on top, but it is hard to move.
Another quick question. Do I always have to find #1 firing position on Crankshaft pulley before reinserting distributor and then shifting oil pump so it seats properly and is pointed towards 6?
Oh yes.
The wire on top of cap and bottom of cap criss cross inside of cap.
You can turn oil pump shaft with a big flat blade screwdrive.
But I just stick dist in and if it does not go all of the way down hold down on edge of dist and just bump starter a little and it will drop on down.
The main thing is to get the dist rotor set to the no 6 on base of dist as in picture AT TDC compression.
Put the cap on and wires.
Then check for spark at spark plugs.
If spark is going into cap and dist is turning it shoulod be comeing out of cap and to the spark plugs.
If spark is going in and dist and rotor is turning and no spark out of cap check rotor and cap real close.
They make a spark tester to save form getting bit.
That spark bite could wipe out a pace maker.
Good Luck
And let us know how it goes.
Well, it has been a fun day. The car started! First I had no spark, turned out it was the rotor that needed replacing. After that spark was good. Made my own tester to avoid getting bit. I grounded a screwdriver (via coated wire) to the car chassis. Saved me a good shock.
After fuel system and ignition tested good, I turned back to the timing issue. I removed #1 plug and placed a paper towel in the spark plug hole just enough to seal it. Cranked engine in short bursts until the paper popped out. Then I moved to the distributor. After take the advice, I could not get it to fire by aligning to the "6" on the distributor. So I rotated it 180 degrees and set to 1 and it fired! Car is running just a tad rough. I am off about one tooth on the distributor. Tomorrow I am going to fine tune the engine by moving the distributor one tooth. Thank you all for the help. Lesson learned, mark where the cap is in relation to the distributor. It will save hours of work!
Thanks for posting back how it went and glad you are getting it running.
As to fine tuning after you get dist set right and running good you will need to get it on a engine capable scanner and set the camshaft retard as close to 0 degrees - or + as you can.
Iy is done by watching the camshaft retard reading in scanner and turning dist left or right.
It does not change timing by moving dist but adjusts the rotor to point direct on plug wire terminal.
Only problem you may have doing it is some dist hold clampsdowns are not slotted for any adjustment.
If it does not come right or to within - or + 1-2 degrees post back for some more tips/help on adjustment.
Good Luck
