The Manhattan Institute, New York's preeminent right-leaning local think tank, took credit for a host of political achievements as it marked its 25th anniversary at a dinner Wednesday.
The group deserves the credit – but less because its ideas were so brilliant and original, and more because it managed to overcome the enormous difficulty of selling those ideas in the first place.
In New York.
Consider some of MI's most pivotal intellectual campaigns – starting, say, with Charles Murray's critique of welfare.
Tom Wolfe explained it pretty well Wednesday: Murray showed how welfare destroyed families, by making it more attractive to remain jobless and to have no man in the home.
Now what could be more obvious than the notion that many folks will choose not to work if it pays as well as working? Or, as Wolfe also noted, if the people who do work will start looking like suckers, rather than the community's more upstanding members? Welfare, Murray argued in 1984, had to be reformed.
George Kelling and James Q. Wilson's "Broken Windows" approach to crime-fighting betrayed similar common sense.
Wolfe noted how it inspired Rudy Giuliani and Police Commissioner Bill Bratton to get rid of the "squeegie men"- and so signal that the town belonged to its law-abiding citizens, not shakedown artists.
On the day of the crackdown, Wolfe recounted, cops issued increasingly stern warnings and finally arrested hold-outs.
One day later: Problem solved.
Notions like these seem compelling, but New York's political culture nonetheless resisted them tooth-and-nail. Again, the public debt of gratitude owed to MI for reshaping the political culture accrues mostly from the fact that that culture, particularly in Gotham, was so hard to change.
Remember, this is the city where every kooky, left-wing shibboleth is not just embraced, but adopted, embellished and fiercely enforced.
* Striped bass have rights.
* Compassion means letting mentally ill folks live on sidewalks, even in freezing weather.
* Blacks in Crown Heights in 1991 had to be allowed to "vent" – by rioting against Jews.
* Housing is a right. And rent regulation helps the poor afford apartments – even though tenants are often well-to-do and the result is a housing shortage.
* Medicaid is a vital safety net, though it now covers one in three New Yorkers.
Are liberals here really so misguided?
Well, yes – though, of course, there's more to it.
Demographics surely play a role: Poor folks like handouts, even if they're self-defeating, while rich folks buy off guilt over their own wealth by backing pricey social programs; America's ever-rising prosperity enables more and more Americans to do just that.
Union muscle also skews city politics.
And then there's the belief in liberalism that can only be compared to against-all-physical-evidence religious faith.
Whatever: The Manhattan Institute somehow managed to get its ideas turned into policy. Credit its rigorous, smart and well-written pieces; its publication, City Journal; forums; lunches, and other vehicles.
Thus, Bill Clinton signed a Murray-inspired rollback of welfare, and Giuliani deflated crime.
Such successes should not be oversold. New York, especially – with its liberal politicians, still-sinewy unions and ethnic politics – has far to go before it can be considered politically sane.
But that's all the more reason to hope the institute keeps up its good work – long into the future.

Byzantium is the name given to both
the state and the culture of the Eastern Roman Empire in the middle ages. Both the state
and the inhabitants always called themselves Roman, as did most of their neighbors.
Western Europeans, who had their own Roman Empire called them Orientals or Greeks,
and later following the example of the great French scholar DuCange, Byzantines after the former name of the Empire's capital city, Constantinople.
These names give witness to the composite nature of Byzantium.
It was, without any doubt, the continuation of the Roman state, and until the seventh
century, preserved the basic structures of Late Roman Mediterranean civic culture: - a
large multi-ethnic Christian state, based on a network of urban centers, and defended by a
mobile specialized army. After the Arab/Muslim conquest of Egypt and Syria, the nature of
the state and culture was transformed. Byzantium became much more a Greek state [perhaps
best seen in the emperor Heraklios' adoption of the Greek title Basileus],
all the cities except Constantinople faded away to small fortified centers, and the
military organization of the empire came to be based on a series of local armies. There is
then a persistent ambiguity about the beginning of Byzantine history - between the
building of Constantinople by Constantine I and the mid-7th century collapse of late
antique urban culture.
The seventh to ninth centuries are generally accounted a low
point of Byzantine history. Little literature - even saints' lives - survives, and even
less art. The period is studied above all for the history of the struggle over icons. This Iconoclastic Controversy bears witness to a continued intellectual vitality,
and the emergence of one of history's most sophisticated analyses of the nature and
function of art. Under the Macedonian Dynasty [867-1056], Byzantium's political
power reached its apogee as former territories were incorporated in the Empire, and an
element of multi-ethnicity was restored. This period is also significant as the time in
which Byzantine culture was spread among the Slavs and other Balkan peoples. Following
massive Turkish attacks in the late eleventh century, the Empire was able to maintain a
lesser but still significant political and military power under the Komnenian Dynasty:
the cost was a social transformation which exalted a powerful military aristocracy, and
gradually enserfed the previously free peasantry. In 1204, internal Byzantine politics and
the resurgent West, effectively ended the imperial pretensions of the Byzantine state. The
Fourth Crusade [1204] succeeded in conquering Constantinople and making it a Latin
principality for half a century. The Greek political leadership, under the Palaiologan
Dynasty regained Constantinople in 1261, but the "empire" was just one state
among many in the area for the final 200 years of its existence. Strangely, this period
was among the most culturally productive, in art, in theology, and in literature.
It would be wrong then to present the later history of
Byzantium as a "thousand year history of decline", leading inevitably to its
conquest by the Ottoman Turks on Tuesday 29th May 1453. This perception, promoted
disastrously by the English historian Edward Gibbon, reflects the origins in the classical
studies of Byzantine studies. The classic periods of ancient cultures [the fifth and
fourth centuries BCE in Greece and the late republican/early imperial period in Rome] have
long appealed to modern Western sensibilities because - as times of rapid change and
innovation in art and literature - echoes and origins of the present have been seen there.
In comparison, Byzantine political culture changed slowly, and continuity was valued over
change. Furthermore, classical secularism, so attractive to Renaissance and Enlightenment
scholars, had no place in Byzantine thought worlds. As a result Byzantine culture was
subjected to centuries of abuse as a time of barbarism and superstition.
The counterpart to the dismissal of Byzantine culture was its
exaltation by 19th-century Romanticism, and by a substrate of Christian, especially
Anglican, intellectuals. [Even now Anglican seminaries are good places to locate books on
Byzantine studies.] Byzantium was also "claimed" by some Orthodox Christian
intellectuals. The result was that, after having been demeaned by the Enlightenment,
Byzantium acquired defenders, but defenders who concentrated equally on the culture's
religious aspects. Far from calm scholarship, Byzantine studies has ever been a locus of
contestation, of defamers and champions.
A third important strand of Byzantine studies has been the
Marxist contribution. Marxist historians are often derided, especially in the United
States, for fitting facts to theory [as if they alone were guilty of this!] In Byzantium,
especially in the agricultural laws of the tenth century, which were presented at the time
as addressing a struggle of the "poor" and the "powerful". Marxists
saw a prime example of the beginning of "feudalism". While perhaps pushing some
interpretations too hard, the Marxist tradition remains valuable in affirming a secular
aspect of Byzantine culture.
Currently, Byzantine studies, reflecting its classical
heritage, is still much more dominated by philological and art historical concerns than
Western medieval history. Still, there are interesting transformations evident. The French Annales School, represented by such scholars as Helene Ahrweiler and Evelyne
Patlagean has applied the specific social, cliometric and "long duree"
methodologies to Byzantine studies with some gusto. Purely social history, without a
Marxist slant, is now well established, with Angeliki Laiou among the most productive
writers. The Russian Byzantinist Alexander Kazhdan was responsible for a whole variety of
initiatives, including a willingness to study religious phenomena in secular perspective.
Finally, and much later than in other areas of historical study, the history of women is
now coming to the fore.
Byzantine civilization constitutes a major world culture.
Because of its unique position as the medieval continuation of the Roman State, it has
tended to be dismissed by classicists and ignored by Western medievalists. Its internal
elite culture was archaicizing and perhaps pessimistic. But we should not be deceived. As
the centrally located culture, and by far the most stable state, of the Medieval period,
Byzantium is of major interest both in itself, and because the development and late
history of Western European, Slavic and Islamic cultures are not comprehensible without
taking it into consideration. While few would claim elevated status for much Byzantine
literature [although its historiographical
tradition is matched only by China's], in its art and architecture, Byzantine culture
was genuinely, and despite itself, innovative and capable of producing works of great
beauty. As an area of study, as I have tried to indicate here, Byzantine studies is
complex, full of conflict, and still open to new questions and methods.
This website has been prepared as a WWW gathering point for
Byzantine studies. It has now moved to an academic web-server at Fordham
University (where much more space for images will be available), but until September 1999 the http://www.bway.net/~halsall/byzantium.html location will continue to function.
The basic structure of the site is now in place. But it will
continue to grow as more Byzantine related material becomes available on the net. Make sure to check out Links
to Other Sites: there is already a fair amount of Byzantine material on the net. This
is possibly the most useful aspect of this site.
Visiting Constantinople/Istanbul [page to be developed]
One of the most common ways people encounter Byzantine
civilization is when they visit cities such as Venice, Ravenna, Rome, Thessalonica,
Mistra, and, above all, Constantinople. I intend to add a page of hints and
pointers to making such a visit. In the meantime, here are three sites that
should help any intended visitors.
Istanbul City Guide: http://www.istanbulcityguide.com/
Istanbul.com: http://english.istanbul.com/
And (in response to many requests), for hotels, I
recommend avoiding the high end luxury hotels (unless you can afford the
converted Ottoman Ciragan Palace ).
Those seeking a taste of early 20th Century
Constantinople (and Agatha Christie fans) should think about the Pera
Palas (which was built to house those who arrived by the Orient
For myself and my students I always heartily
recommend a small hotel in an Ottoman house right on the Hippodrome - the Hotel
Spectra. Its owner and staff have always been wonderful, and the
view from its breakfast room is unbeatable.

Back to Main Page / Back to List of Rules
Rule 237. Appearance Day (Mar1941)
If a defendant, who has been duly cited, is by the citation required to answer on a day which is in term time, such day is appearance day as to him. If he is so required to answer on a day in vacation, he shall plead or answer accordingly, and the first day of the next term is appearance day as to him.
If a defendant who is required to answer on a day in vacation file a petition and bond to remove to the Federal Court, said bond may be accepted and approved in vacation either by the clerk or by the judge of the court; and such judge, either in vacation or in term time, and at any place that he may be found within his district, may approve the bond and have entered such order as is proper in regard to the removal of the cause to the Federal Court.
Amended by order of March 31, 1941, eff. Sept. 1, 1941: The last paragraph has been added.
|Prior Amendments
|Future Amendments
|Oct. 29, 1940, eff. Sept. 1, 1941
|July 20, 1954, eff. Jan. 1, 1955
Question: Notwithstanding Rule 101 requiring answer at or before ten o'clock a. m. of the Monday next after the expiration of twenty days from the date of service, may a defendant, in case such time of answering falls in vacation, postpone his answer until the following term, without risk of default judgment by reason of such late filing, provided the answer is filed promptly at the opening of the term?
Answer: We think so. Under Rule 239 judgment by default can only be entered in term time. Under Rule 237 appearance day as to a defendant who is required to answer on a day in vacation is the first day of the next term. Under Rule 238 the docket is called for default on such appearance day, at ten o'clock a. m., or as soon thereafter as may be practicable, and under the cited rules default judgment can only be taken where there is no answer on file at the time of the call of such docket, whether such call be at such proper time or at a later time that is not in vacation. Note, however, that the second paragraph of Rule 237 provides for vacation procedure in instances of removal to federal court.
This construction of the rules is aided by the past decisions upon the subject, that, notwithstanding a defendant, even in term time, fails to file his answer by the time for default judgment, such judgment cannot be taken against him, if he files an answer before the default is actually taken. See Moore v. Janes, 6 Tex. 227 (1851); Ellett v. Britton, 6 Tex. 229 (1851); Hurlock v. Reinhardt, 41 Tex. 580 (1874); World Co. v. Dow, 116 Tex. 146 (1926).
5 Tex. B.J. 95 (1942) reprinted in 8 Tex. B.J. 8 (1945).
(No. 27-b) Question: In a divorce case where there is citation by publication may a judgment be taken at a special term, in view of Rule 237?
Answer: The subcommittee feels that its answer should be in the negative for the reason that R. S. Article 1920, which is not repealed, prohibits the bringing of new cases to special terms. While under Rule 237 cases are no longer "brought to a term," the spirit of Art. 1920 is that new cases should not be triable at a special term without defendant's consent, because such practice would be inconvenient or unjust. If a defendant consents to a trial at a special term, the case, however, is different. Upon these subjects see Browder v. Memphis Indep. Sch. Dist., 107 Tex. 535 180 S.W. 1077 (1915), and Guerra v. Guerra, 213 S.W. 360 (Tex. Civ. App.-San Antonio 1919).
5 Tex. B.J. 287 (1942) reprinted in 8 Tex. B.J. 20 (1945).
(No. 65) Question: Does the perfection of service upon a defendant in vacation justify judgment by default against a non-appearing defendant at a special term?
Answer: No. See question and answer in No. 27-b 5 Tex. B.J. 287. It may be added that the law does not require personal notice to be given of the calling of a special term and that such circumstance would conduce to the injustice of permitting judgment by default at special terms.
(No. 73) Question: Where the time within which a defendant must answer falls in vacation, and the defendant accordingly files a plea of privilege in vacation, does Rule 87 give the plaintiff ten days after appearance day within which to file a controverting plea, or does the plaintiff merely have ten days after the day on which the defendant was required to plea?
Answer: It is the opinion of the subcommittee that under the express terms of Rule 87 the plaintiff has ten days after "appearance day" within which he may file a controverting plea. Appearance day is the first day of' the next term when the day upon which the citation directs the defendant to answer falls in vacation (Rule 237).
Under the statute, before the adoption of the Rules, it was held that even though the defendant filed his plea of privilege before appearance day, the plaintiff still had the stipulated time after appearance day within which to file a controverting plea, and the same is true under the rules.
We feel that in Rule 87 the statutory provision giving the plaintiff a stipulated period after appearance day within which he can file a controverting plea was intentionally retained.
If the citation requires the defendant to answer upon a day that falls in term time, then that day is appearance day (Rule 237), and Rule 87 allows ten days thereafter for the filing of a controverting plea. If, on the other hand, the citation requires the defendant to answer upon a day in vacation, then appearance day is the first day of the next term, and the plaintiff accordingly has ten days from the first day of the term within which to file a controverting plea.
5 Tex. B.J. 465 (1942) reprinted in 8 Tex. B.J. 29 (1945).
(No. 124) Question: Vernon's Ann. Civ. Stat., Article 200a, Sec. 6, provides that it shall be the duty of a district judge to extend the regular terms of his court to dispose of pending litigation. Now if a civil case is on file during the regular term, but service is not completed during the regular term, and the term is extended to dispose of pending litigation and service is completed within the term as so extended, is this case subject to being called for trial during the extended term in view of Rule 237 defining appearance day and Vernon's Ann. Civ. Stat., Article 1920 providing that no new civil case can be brought to a special term of the district court?
Answer: The case, in our opinion, may be called for trial and disposed of during the extended term.
The question correctly states the pertinent warding of Articles 200a and 1920. The governing intention of Article 200a, as well as that of the Administrative Judicial Districts Act of which it is a part, is to dispose of pending business and the words "pending litigation" as used in the article fairly have that meaning. The Supreme Court used the phrases as though synonymous in Hamilton v. Empire Gas & Fuel Co., 134 Tex. 377, 110 S. W.2d 561 (1937), and the Court of Civil Appeals, in Morse v. Hoover, 105 S.W.2d 682 (Tex. Civ. App.-Amarillo 1937), assumed that a contest of a plea of privilege, as yet immature because of want of service, was within the statute. So that a case which has been filed during a regular term is in our opinion "pending litigation," although service has not yet been perfected in it.
Looking to the rules, one finds from Rule 101 that in a personal action such as is involved in the question, a defendant is required to answer on the first Monday after the expiration of twenty days from the date of service; from Rule 237 that if this day is "in term time, such day is appearance day as to him" but if it is "in vacation, he shall plead or answer accordingly, and the first day of the next term is appearance day as to him;" from Rule 238 that on appearance day of a particular defendant "and at the hour named in the citation, or as soon thereafter as may be practicable," the case shall be called by the court, etc., or on the request of plaintiff's attorney; and from Rule 239 that "upon such call of the docket, or at any time after a defendant is required to answer, the plaintiff may in term time take judgment by default against such defendant if he has not previously filed his answer."
While strictly viewed, these rules only force defendant to trial or default, in the instant situation, at the next regular term, liberally interpreted in the light of Rule 1 and of the purpose of the act at hand, they are saying this: the defendant must file answer within the time mentioned in his citation whether the last day falls in vacation or in term time. If it falls in vacation default can only be taken at the next term because the court can only give a judgment in term time. If, when it arrives, there is a term, the defendant may be compelled to submit to trial if he has an answer on file, or otherwise to default.
This liberal interpretation seems to be the correct one to apply.
We think that, the prohibition of "new civil cases" in the statute about special terms is not applicable here because that is a different sort of a term. Yet even new civil cases are there triable in instances of appearance (Browder v. Memphis Indep. Sch. Dist., 107 Tex. 535, 180 S.W. 1077 (1915)) and would be triable by compulsion, as criminal cases are, except for restrictive wording in the statute.
No such restriction appears in the statute for extended terms.
It should be added, though the question does not involve the situation, that the Browder case above cited would be sufficient authority for defendant's forcing a trial or submitting to a trial by appearance or otherwise at a term of court which, as in the instance of the present extended term, allows the disposition of pending litigation.
7 Tex. B.J. 152 (1944) reprinted in 8 Tex. B.J. 46 (1945).
Question: What is appearance day with reference to withdrawing a case from the court's docket without the necessity of the judge's dismissing it?
Answer: Under Rule 237 appearance day applies to a defendant who has been served or who has accepted service and the rule prescribes the time and manner in which he shall answer. If no citation is ever issued on the petition and there is no acceptance of service there is no appearance day under the rules. Rules 22 to 26, inclusive, require the clerk when a suit is filed to docket the same, etc. We think a suit in which no citation has been issued or served, although not specifically mentioned in the rule, as well as one in which citation has been issued and served and no answer has been filed, may be discontinued in vacation under Rule 162 upon payment of costs, as the underlying principle is the same. It is an orderly procedure, and no one can complain of the discontinuance.
During term time, discontinuance as to a defendant who has not been served is allowable under Rule 161. We think it is desirable and the better procedure that dismissals during term time be made by the judge, if practicable. See Bridgman v. Moore, 143 Tex. 250, 183 S.W.2d 708, syllabi 8 and 9 (1944).

No need to dwell on the negative; with a new season underway, let's look on the bright side. Even with the competition and danger there's room for dignity and civility. Who are the good guys and genial heroes in motor racing?
In the many years I have been studying the history of this sport, I have yet to note anyone saying anything even slightly unkind about the great Juan Manuel Fangio. El Maestro was the consummate gentleman and competitor; he treated his opponents with absolute respect even as he was driving stylish circles around them. After his career he remained affiliated with the sport, serving as one of its most appropriate ambassadors. When the comparison comes up, some will say that Schumacher and Fangio are near-equals in talent — but not as human beings.

With RIFT version 1.3 adding the promised free character transfers, Ten Ton Hammer has a conversation with RIFT Design Producer Hal Hanlin about how this is going, and he explains why Trion is not charging for the service. "It's easy for us to do this, I don't know about those other companies who seem to make a production about it, but for us it's a simple process," he tells them. "Our main focus is for players to have fun playing the game, and if that means moving to play with their friends, or simply moving to a more lively shard – then we're all for that."

- Keep in mind that these policies are ultimately guidelines. If it's found that a policy restricts something that the reason the policy was created didn't intend to restrict, then the policy should be changed.
These are some policies on how articles should be written.
- Characters - Events timeline on character articles should be written in the third person past tense. Other sections of the article should be in the third person present tense if the said character is not deceased.
- Chapters/Episodes - Summary articles for chapters and episodes, pages should be written in third person present tense.
- When listing information and someone has been replaced by someone else in the plot, the person who was chronologically first should be listed first.
- The word "current" should never be used in a character article. (Articles are meant to be read not by people up to date with the latest manga, but by anyone who is up to any point of the anime or manga, and should still hold true after the manga has moved forwards an arc and current is no longer current.)

PaidUp.com needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 339 designs submitted by 105 freelance designers.
PaidUp.com (or Paidup, paidup, Paid Up, paid up, you get the idea). With or without the ".com"
PaidUp.com is a service that helps people manage and pay their bills.
Update: This is a site that helps you manage your bills. Getting "paid up" is an expression that means paying your bills. Most of the logos submitted have an up-arrow in them. I'm not sure that's the right message to send to people looking to manage their bills (nobody wants their bills to go up, right?) I'm not necessarily against up-arrows, but not s huge fan either
Organized people. And disorganized people who want order.
The logo needs to convey trustworthiness at it's core, but with simplicity and fun thrown in. If your favorite bank were a "Web 2.0" company - how might their logo look? What would it take to make you give the keys to your bank account to a new Internet company? We want that logo.

BRIAN MARLATT "The assimilation of Canada by stealth and by regulatory transfers is an issue that should concern all Canadians. It is only by being engaged that we can influence events and conditions positively. It is our country to build and celebrate by embracing it and all of its people; it is our country, also, to give away through neglect of our civic responsibilities and through apathy. The choice is ours: "All that is reguired for evil to prevail, is for men of good will to do nothing." Brian Marlatt in The Canadian, August 8, 2007.Brian Marlatt, 55, of South Surrey, BC, works as a manager in a family business, Paramount Distributors, which until recently provided concession services to the Greater Vancouver Zoo; Brian is now on an academic leave-of-absence. Previously, Brian managed Paramount's sales, distribution and marketing of telephonic consumer electronics to major retailers and telephone companies across Canada and the US. Brian also contributed to market introduction of proprietary, two-way voice technology patented by Paramount's sister company, Paramount Systems, designed for the security industry and for use in health care to assist the physically challenged. As a trade delegate to the Saskatoon Continuing Medical Education Conference in1992 and to DPI's Special Needs Vancouver conference, Independence 92, Brian contributed to the introduction of Paramount's Imedical medical alert system.Brian Marlatt also has experience in the BC Film Industry, having contributed to fund-raising efforts and post-production video marketing of made-in-BC documentary films broadcast by the Knowledge Network and he is an ACTRA UBCP Extra Member.Brian Marlatt earned an Honours BA in history from the University of Western Ontario, where he later pursued graduate work in history and the history of science. Subsequent papers are published in abstract by the Canadian Society for the History and Philosophy of Science. In 1996, Brian was a delegate to the first international conference held in Canada to focus on earthquakes, volcanoes, and tsunamis, the Pan Pacific Hazards '96 Conference held in Vancouver as one of Canada's major contributions to the United Nations International Decade for Natural Disaster Reduction. His published paper, "Rebuilding After Earthquake in Historical and Traditional Society Context," draws upon his early research and addresses questions of emergency response and post-disaster recovery in the Lesser Developed Country (LDC) contexts which were the focus of the UN IDNDR. Brian's academic interests are ongoing.Brian Marlatt's political experience includes membership in the Progressive Conservative Party of Canada from 1998 to 2003, during which time he sat on the Progressive Conservative South Surrey-White Rock-Langley Riding Association Executive as Policy and Communications Chair; active membership on the Policy Advisory Committee of the PC's BC Executive Council, including public policy consultations facilitation; and he both contributed to and presented successful amendments to the policy document on which the Tory platform in Election 2000 was based. Brian was a delegate to the PC's Quebec City National Policy Conference in 2000 and to the Edmonton National Convention in 2002 which focussed on Democratic Reform. Brian Marlatt was part of the Progressive Conservative BC and South Surrey-White Rock-Langley campaigns in Election 2000.Brian's academic and political experience were brought together in 1999, when he initiated an offer of assistance to the City of White Rock from the PC Task Force on Poverty and Homelessness during the emergency phase of the city's June 1999 flood.Brian Marlatt became a member of the Progressive Canadian (PC) Party following the removal of the Progressive Conservative Party of Canada from the ballot in December 2003. Brian is working to restore a national, progressive-conservative, alternative to Canadians and the vision of national unity which inspired the Fathers of Confederation.

Stainless Steel Brakes Disc-Brake Conversion Kit
Anyone who thinks four-wheel manual drum brakes are good enough for his car must have never driven it in Los Angeles. Sure, Southern California is an old-car mecca, but traversing the overcrowded freeways crawling with half-baked drivers puts our old iron at the brink of disaster every time we turn onto an entrance ramp. Whats a car crafter to do?
Avoidance is key. Like your first ski trip, urban driving is a dicey, unpredictable situation until you learn to safely stop yourself. Likewise, we figure Honda CRX and Ford Focus drivers must feel like bowling pins when our 65 Biscayne comes creeping up from behind, so we decided it was time to call up Year One and order a Stainless Steel Brakes disc-brake conversion kit for the bulbous B-body. At $579, its a serious bargain. Its an especially easy swap, because it reuses the factory drum-brake spindlesso theres no need to break the ball joints or steering linkage loose. Swapping to discs wont alleviate the nervous feeling that econobox drivers get when the 65 is out on the prowl, but we like it that way. As long as we know we can scrub off our speed, we can live with our intimidating presence and continue to educate lesser vehicles on whats really fast and furious.

Opal Rings & Jewelry
Opal rings are very popular for their multi-colored beauty and opal is one of the traditional October birthstones. Opal jewelry is good for every day wear because the opal stone is normally cut into a low flat cabochon sitting nice and flush to the body. Antique opal rings have become popular recently as an alternative to more traditional rings for weddings. The opal stone is not very dense, so opal earrings and necklaces can be large in appearance but not too heavy feeling. Australian opals are the most common as many varieties are found on that continent but there are sources in many other geographic regions of the world as well.

Most commercial lip balms contain petroleum products, artificial colors and flavours, and are loaded with preservatives. Applying these to your lips is as good as eating these ingredients. Thankfully, lip balm is simple and cheap to make. You can make it with ingredients you probably already have in your kitchen, or at the very least, that you can find fairly easily in natural foods stores. With pure, all natural ingredients these lip balms are effective and safe, and they make fantastic little gifts!
Choosing your oils
You can use any cooking oil you like. Some have better qualities than others. Choose one with little or no fragrance unless you love the fragrance. Good ones include olive oil, grape seed oil, coconut oil, sesame oil, sweet almond oil etc. You can use any of these oils instead of the ones in the recipe. They will all work well. You can also use herb-infused oils such as chamomile or calendula to create a very soothing, calming product.
Choosing your butters
Butters are oils that are solid at room temperature. (Except coconut oil, which is solid at room temperature but classified as an oil, not a butter). Butters are loaded with enriching qualities. Cocoa butter, shea butter and mango butter are great choices for lip balms and other body products. Cocoa butter is probably the easiest to find. You can substitute any of the butters with each other.
Beeswax is necessary to solidify the product. If you are vegan you can try substituting carnauba wax for beeswax, but you will need some kind of wax in the balm.
Vitamin E is moisturizing and has antioxidant qualities. It is also added as a natural preservative. It helps prevent rancidity, and extends the shelf life of the product. No natural preservatives are as effective as synthetic ones, so use up your products in a matter of months, not years. Store any products you aren't currently using in a freezer in a sealed container. If you don't want to use vitamin E you can substitute it for rosemary essential oil, which also has natural preservation properties.
Essential oils can be substituted for others, or left out entirely. They do have a bit of a natural preservative effect, but if you don't want fragrance they can be left out. Do not use citrus essential oils. Most citrus (and a few others… worth checking out the link) are photo-toxic and should not be worn when you are exposed to the sun. Peppermint essential oil contains menthol, a natural analgestic which soothes sore, chapped skin.
Extras, such as honey or chocolate chips.
Again, these can be left out entirely. Honey is great in body products because it attracts moisture. It is also naturally antibacterial and… it tastes good… The chocolate chips are added for color and flavour. I choose organic, all natural ones to maintain the purity of the product. Do not add ingredients that are water based such as aloe, or rosewater etc. Introducing water to your product will allow a bacteria-growing medium into your product which you don't want, and is completely unnecessary for lip balms.
Choose your recipe below, and follow these directions.
- Combine all ingredients except essential oil in a small sauce pan or double boiler and melt, on low heat. Stir just until melted. Do not allow the ingredients to boil!
- Stir in essential oil.
- Pour immediately into lip balm container.
- Allow to cool before moving. Cap and use! Or gift!
Here are three "tasty" recipes to choose from.
Chocolate Chip Mint
- 0.2 oz. cocoa butter
- 0.2 oz. coconut oil
- 0.2 oz. grape seed oil
- 0.2 oz. beeswax
- 6 organic, all natural chocolate chips
- 15 drops vitamin E oil, or 1 capsule
- 15 drops peppermint essential oil
Honey Vanilla
- 0.2 oz. shea butter
- 0.2 oz. grape seed oil
- 0.2 oz. beeswax
- 0.2 oz. honey
- 15 drops vitamin E oil or one capsule
- 15 drops vanilla essential oil
Sweet Almond
- 0.2 oz. shea butter
- 0.2 oz. sweet almond oil
- 0.2 oz. beeswax
- 15 drops bitter almond essential oil
- 15 drops vitamin E oil or one capsule.
Mountain Rose Herbs has exceptional quality, certified organic herbs, spices, essential oils and more. They maintain a strict emphasis on sustainable agriculture. I highly recommend them for outstanding quality and service.
- Each recipe fills 2-3 tubes or tubs.
- You can purchase the lip balm containers at Mountain Rose Herbs. Search "lip balm containers".
- Use up in a few months to avoid the oil from going rancid.

What happens when you mix some fast cars, an enormous city, a cliché story, and West Coast Customs? Well, you get L.A. Rush, of course!
Your name is Trikz. You worked your way to the top and now you're a big time street racer. All your rides are all pimped out and your life is a party 24/7. What can go wrong? Nothing.....right? WRONG. You've just pissed off one of the biggest thieves in L.A., Lidel, and now he's going to make you pay. After you come back from training, you find your garage empty and you're left with empty pockets. Who could've done all this? Lidel, of course!
So now it's your job to get all of your cars back and show Lidel what you think of him. So how are you going to get all of your stuff back if you have no cash?!? There are different ways of doing this, well, actually only one: racing. Street races give you the chance to earn some money by racing against three other racers. Depending on if you come in first or last place, determines how much money you will be getting. Place in last, though, and you get nothing. There are also Stunt Races, Bonus Races, Cross-town Races, Acquire Races, and Endurance Races. With the exception of Cross-town Races, Acquire Races are probably the toughest races in the game. In these kinds of races, you start off in another car which you must return to your home in order to be able to "own" them. And while you're trying to get the car back to your place, some of Lidel's crew comes after you, crashing into you and trying to drain your cars "health" bar. Get it too low and you'll have to start over, but if you make it home, depending how much damage the car took, you'll have to pay to get it fixed.
The graphics of this game are at best, just average. The cars look very nice; tinted windows, 20" rims, etc. The "city" is also good looking; not too detailed but it gets the job done. Also, because the environment is so huge, you will eventually see a couple of load screens when crossing from one city to another. And, for example, when you're in second place and just about to take over the lead and a load screen pops up, that's all it takes to mess you up.
We've all seen that most racing games either have hip hop or rap music in there games but this isn't so in L.A. Rush. At least in L.A. Rush they let you choose from hip hop, techno, or rock. I'm not a fan of either hip hop or techno, so I chose rock. I was disappointed in the kind of "rock" music they chose, but I must admit that it was rock and they at least gave me what I asked for. As for the sounds in the game, they are fairly average. The car crashes, slamming the breaks, the sirens blaring from the cops, and the sound of the wind as your racing across the city are all average. Surprisingly, the voice acting was actually okay, with the exception of the announcer, the cops, and the people walking around in the streets.
The controls are easy to use, as they are with most racing games; left analog to steer, right analog to brake and go, etc. No real problems with the controls.
The only problem in the game play, with me at least, is crashing. When you crash, the game suddenly slows down in order to show you all the parts flying and the explosions. The first couple of times it was cool, but after a while it gets old and it starts to get annoying. If you're racing at 200 mph and all of a sudden you crash, you want to get right back in the race. You don't just want to let everyone else catch up. I just wished that this "feature" could be disabled.
Remember all those times your mom told you to stop playing those video games because they were never going to get you anywhere? Well, looks like she's right with this one. The dull plot and repetitive game play can get boring after you play it for a couple of hours. The only true replay value this game has is with multiplayer because it has no online support. So take your mom's advice and go read a book instead.
of our alltime favorite arcade style racers (at least
according to the tastes of some past and present CCCP
Crew members) was the wild San Francisco Rush 2049
Dreamcast game, which was based on the arcade fave.
has taken far too long in fulfilling our needs for
a new itineration of the series and we can't wait
to get our hands on the upcoming L. A. Rush. Having
spent much time in La La Land during E3 we're pretty
sure we'd be able to find our way around the recreated
digitial streets of LA - we're hoping our favorite
wateringholes are represented....yeah....uh huh....right....
L.A. Rush, join the crew at West Coast Customs to
pimp your ride and live the fabulous lifestyle of
an L.A. street racer. Feel the rush as you race over
36 licensed rides including muscle, tuner and exotic
vehicles as well as exclusive tricked-out racers designed
by West Coast Customs and Rides Magazine. An exciting
and unique story-driven experience will allow you
to race through 5 fully-open Los Angeles city re-creations
while finding treacherous shortcuts and surviving
death-defying jumps. L.A. Rush will be the next evolution
in the highly addictive Rush franchise!

For Immediate Release
October 26, 2012
( Philadelphia, PA) Moore College of Art & Design is pleased to announce the new Shirley Vernon Endowed Scholarship for Excellence in Design. Professor Margaret Leahy, a long-time friend of Shirley Vernon and former chair of the College's interior design department, will present the award for the first time at Honors Convocation on April 13, 2012.
Shirley Vernon was a member of Moore's faculty from 1986 -1995, and was one of the pioneering female architects in Philadelphia. When she passed away in February 2011, at the age of 80, Professor Vernon generously left her estate to the College. At its September meeting, the Boards of Trustees and Managers voted to create this new endowed scholarship for a Moore student majoring in a design field (interior design, graphic design or illustration).
The Shirley Vernon Endowed Scholarship will be awarded every year to a full-time rising junior in the Design Department with the highest overall GPA. The student will receive $2,000 in both her junior and senior years. To honor Shirley Vernon's leadership in interior design, the first scholarship will be awarded to an interior design major in 2012. Because this scholarship is endowed, it will be awarded every year in perpetuity.
"Shirley would be so happy to see that her gift to the college is being used for this endowed scholarship," Leahy said. "She had no children and this is the perfect way for her legacy to continue into the next generations. Beside the scholarship, Shirley's legacy is that of being her own authentic person, with the strength to be a pioneer, to be fashionable and serious at the same time and to have the requisite strong sense of humor to make it all work together. "
Professor Vernon graduated cum laude from the School of Architecture at Pennsylvania State University. She worked for Vincent G. Kling and Associates from 1953 to 1968. Among her major projects at Kling were the US Embassy Office Building in Quito, Ecuador, and the Union Carbide Technical Center in Tarrytown, NY. She established her own practice in 1968. Vernon was elected a fellow of the American Institute of Architects in 1976 and was an active member of AIA Philadelphia.
Shirley Vernon became a professor in the interior design department at Moore in 1986, serving as co-chair of the department from 1994-1995. She retired from teaching in 1996. She remained an active consultant to the department up until her death. The new Shirley Vernon Endowed Scholarship for Excellence in Design is one way to remember Professor Vernon's service, leadership and generosity.

Vermont House Asks FDA to Lift Blood-Giving Ban
May 2, 2012
In a 129-2 vote, the Vermont House asked the Food and Drug Administration to lift its lifetime ban on blood donations by men who have sex with men. Opponents of the ban say it is not scientifically or medically necessary because HIV testing protocols have improved since 1986, when the policy was instituted. They also note that Britain and some international health groups have revised their standards regarding MSM blood donations. The resolution calls for replacing the lifetime ban with a prohibition on blood donations for one year following male-to-male sexual contact.

What Made Hershey's Want to Change Chocolate?
There was an extremely interesting comment left over the weekend on this post.
It had a quote from Hershey's asserting their position in 2000 that chocolate should not be adulterated with vegetable fats or milk protein fillers.
Back in 1999 the USDA worked on something called the Codex for Proposed Standards for Cocoa and Chocolate Products that met for several years as an international body. The US had quite a few delegates for this and those who weren't in attendance still offered their comments.
But whatever it was is kind of a side story, because the point is that Hershey has not always been on the bandwagon to sell mockolate to unsuspecting Americans.
On August 28, 2000 Stanley M. Tarka, Jr, PhD (Senior Director Food Science & Technology) filed an official statement as a member of the Hershey Foods team.
Other comments on file:
Lyn O'Brien Nabors (Executive Vice President) of the Calorie Control Council was pushing the support of alternative sweeteners, specifically looking to add Sucralose and Alitame to the list of approved sweeteners. (Don't know what Alitame is? I had to look it up, it's not approved for use in the US by the FDA.) (link)
Edward S. Seguine (Vice President) of Guittard Chocolate Company said pretty much what Hershey's guy said. They were against any adulteration of the standard, and if things were allowed to change, then they'd better be clearly labeled on the front of the package (which is pretty much the way they are now). (link)
Paul Michaels (President) of M&M Mars had a lot to say ... four pages. In short, his recommendation was a hybrid of the current petiton at the FDA. He supported the swapping of cocoa butter with up to 5% vegetable fat, use of a wide range of milk products, other edible foodstuffs, a wide range of sweeteners and the use of polydextrose. Basically, if they got their way back then there'd be far less chocolate in M&Ms than there is now. (I had to look up polydextrose too, it's a filler. It contains sorbitol which has a known laxative effect. It's often used to make placebos.) (link)
Richard R. Rio (Associate Director of Regulatory Affairs) of McNeil Specialty Products Company wants Sucralose to be permitted in chocolate. Small wonder, McNeil makes Sucralose. (link)
Robert M. Reeves (President) of the Institute of Shortening and Edible Oils, Inc. supports the use of up to 5% vegetable fats. No surprise there either. (link)
Kenneth Mercurio (Director, Regulatory & Nutrition) of Nestle said "Allowing 5% vegetable oils is a step in this direction to modernize the chocolate standards in the US." They also do not support the use of an language on the label that would notify consumers of this. It strikes me that Nestle, as an international company would want a standard throughout all of its territories. But I don't want modern chocolate. (link)
So I'm left with the feeling that Hershey & Guittard are the only CMA members who wanted to keep our chocolate real. And the only thing that seems to have changed in the intervening years is that Hershey has taken a complete 180 degree turn on the issue.
Hershey has been under huge pressures. In 2002 the Hershey Trust attempted to sell the company (but was stopped by public opinion). Currently they are downsizing, consolidating and outsourcing. They company is not losing money or anything, it's just not growing, not keeping its other investors happy (seriously, the Trust doesn't need any more money).
Without the backing of Hershey, the CMA lost its largest voice for traditional chocolate. This is not the Hershey's I grew up with.
Keep it Real Raffle Winner
I'm happy to report that Julie at Booga J (and her own Chocolate Blog) won the Keep it Real Raffle. A $100 gift certificate from Chocosphere.com is already on its way to her.
It might console you to know that she'll probably be virtually sharing her booty in the near future on her blog. In case you forget to bookmark her, I'm adding her to my blogroll over there on the lower right.
Julie worked really hard too, with five raffle tickets (there were about 130 entries total) ... though the "ticket" I drew for her was for her comment to the FDA.
In the next week or so I'll announce some more giveaways. Thanks again to everyone for their help in getting the word out.
Vertigo Pops
I'm not quite sure what's going on here. I first saw these at the 99 Cent Only Store (but only in Strawberry). They're billed as "candy and chocolate flavored pops" which I thought sounded kind of fun. Like a chocolate toffee lollipop.
The commercials aren't really helpful, they call it half-crazy. And they have freaky & disturbing animation. Who are they aiming these at?
So maybe the wrapper will be helpful. There's a little drawing of the candy on the package. But I don't know what I'm looking at. Smacking the candy on the corner of the table reveals that one side is hard and the other isn't. How about a look what they use to make them.
Ingredients: Sugar, Corn Syrup, Hydrogenated Palm Kernel Oil, Cocoa, Dry Whey, Natural and Artificial Flavors, Cocoa Processed with Alkalai, Skim Milk Powder, Buffered Lactic Acid, Soy Lecithin, Salt and Artificial Colors
Well, after opening up the little packet it's much more obvious what this is. One third of the pop is a swirl of hard candy with a boat of mockolate stuck to it.
Cookies and Cream - this has nothing to do with cookies and cream. Things can't be cookie flavored. What makes cookies cookies is the texture, not the flavor. The mockolate boat here is mild and cool on the tongue. Sweet and not very chocolatey, it tastes more tropical, a little like coconut and a little like fudge. The sliver of candy is rather nice. Super smooth and a little tangy like yogurt. It's sweet and bland but perhaps a little creamy.
Chocolate Caramel - well, this is not caramel flavored. The mockolate is the same on all of them. The candy part is tangy and sweet but missing all the caramel notes I would expect. I'm getting tangy, I'm getting maple or pecan, but definitely not caramel.
Chocolate Strawberry - finally the tangy bite works with the flavor. The strong and fake strawberry flavor completely overshadows the mockolate.
The long narrow shape is pleasant for a pop, it certainly fits in the mouth better. The candy part is actually really good. It's superdense so it's great for a pleasant and smooth feeling on the tongue and if you're a cruncher it's also really easy to chew.
The quality is apparent here with just about every element. They're nicely packaged, the metallic plastic wrapper protects and is easy to open. The sassy plastic stick means that the stick doesn't dissolve while you're still eating the pop. Even the name is pretty good, the swirly colors support the name Vertigo (which is a fancy way of saying dizzy).
But the candy quality goes astray with the mockolate. It's just ghastly. I ate it, but I'm certainly not happy about it.
I would certainly buy this if it was just a hard toffee pop, like the See's Pops (except these are actually smoother). But as a mostly mockolate product, I just can't get behind it.
Note: Topps is an American company, but these candies were made in China.

FDA Chocolate Changes Coverage
It took a while for the media to pick up on the story, but momentum is building. Here's the coverage that I've been following (partly because I've been interviewed). Here's the FDA page for the proposal.
Coverage of the issue of changing food labeling and naming standards:
NPR - Talk of the Nation - 4/24/2007 (listen online and comment on the Blog of the Nation)
Washington Post - Chocolate Purists Alarmed by Proposal To Fudge Standards: Lines Drawn Over Cocoa Butter by Michael S. Rosenwald (here's the Appendix C that he mentions in the article)
Bloomberg - Hershey Battles Chocolate Connoisseurs Over Selling 'Mockolate' by Adam Satariano
ABC News - Changing the Fat in Chocolate: New Proposal Urges FDA to Allow Vegetable Oil Instead of Cacao Butter; Health Experts Say This Would Not Make Chocolate Healthier by Dan Childs.
Los Angeles Times - The courage of their confections: Two candy makers are asking chocolate lovers to protest plans to allow cheaper ingredients. Vegetable oil, anyone? by Jerry Hirsch (and my follow-up Editorial)
Patriot News - Could changes be coming for chocolate? by Tom Dochat
San Francisco Chronicle - Guittard protests proposal to allow vegetable oil in chocolate by Carol Ness
I also did an interview this morning with ABC Radio News, so that may be airing today.
Finally, in the NYTimes Magazine last week there was an interesting article: You Are What You Grow by Michael Pollan (The Omnivore's Dilemma) about the farm bill and why we're such a starchy, oily and plump nation.
If you're moved to respond, check out this page with a tutorial on how to leave a comment on the FDA's comment page.
Dove Caramels & Chocolate Covered Almonds
I tried the Dove chocolate last year and was pleased with it. It's kind of a slick chocolate, both in packaging and in texture. They market this as silky, and I'm not sure if it's the level of fat in it or the size of the particles of cocoa solids ... or perhaps both.
While I'm not that keen on the plain bars, I got a note from some marketing folks offering me some of their other products and I figured, "what they hey!"
The Dove line is built around their plain dark and milk chocolate, sold in single-serve bars and the more popular "Promises" which I think of as a hybrid of Hershey's Kisses and Perugina Baci (pure chocolate plus a little note in the wrapper).
These aren't called anything ... just Smooth Milk Chocolate with Caramel. The bronzy foil holds a little rounded chocolate square with a filling of a caramel-like goo.
The wrappers also have little notes inside. Mine said things like Smile at yourself in the mirror and Sing along with the elevator music ... honey, I don't need my candy telling me to sing out loud in public. I'm sure the folks at the Ralph's on Glendale Blvd. are well aware of me belting out the 80s tunes when I visit and would probably hide these candies from me if they knew what they were telling me to do.
The chocolate here is smooth and creamy, perhaps a little sticky and sweet. The caramel filling doesn't really have enough of the true caramel qualities I like, such as a burnt sugar taste or soft chew. I wanted more salt. But the whole thing is tasty and certainly worth the price of admission (free with my comp). But the thing that's most appealing to me was how photogenic they were.
6 out of 10
The second item that's much more up my alley is the Smooth Milk Chocolate Covered Almonds. I think the publicist who sent these to me intended to give me the dark chocolate ones, as there were two bags of milk chocolate in my little box. Oh well. The almonds are rather good, not as large and choice as the Trader Joe's version that I often pick up, but there wasn't a bad one in the bunch. They're nicely toasted and crunchy. The chocolate is sweet and offsets the almond's toasty flavors pretty well.
7 out of 10
At a regular price of $3.50 a bag, I don't think I'd get these, except maybe if I was stuck in an airport and looking for something to bring on the plane. Both bags are easy to open and reclose, which is always a plus. I would probably pick them up on sale if I could get them for something like $2.50 though.

Apple's 2011 iOS Sales Larger Than Mac Sales in Last 28 Years
Apple sold more iPhones, iPads and iPod touches during 2011 than it sold Mac computers over the past 28 years, according to new revelations from Apple analyst Horace Dediu of Asymco.
Apple during 2011 sold a total of 156 million devices running its iOS mobile operating system, Dediu wrote in an analysis Thursday. In contrast, Cupertino sold 122 million Mac OS X computers during its 28-year history.
Dediu on Thursday released a graph plotting each major computing product Apple has sold throughout its history (below). He was inspired to create the graph after reading statements Apple CEO Tim Cook made during an appearance at a Goldman Sachs investor conference earlier this week.
Cook admitted that even Apple was surprised by the staggering number of iPads it has sold to date — 55 million.
"This 55 is something no one would have guessed, including us," Cook said during the speech. "To put it in context, it took us 22 years to sell 55 million Macs. It took us about 5 years to sell 22 million iPods, and it took us about 3 years to sell that many iPhones. And so, this thing is, as you said, it's on a trajectory that's off the charts."
Dediu's chart shows that Apple has, of course, sold more iPhones than any other product. Moreover, the iPhone looks poised to soon cross the milestone of 200 million units sold.
During the fourth quarter of 2011 alone, Apple shipped 37 million iPhones, a whopping 128 percent increase from the year before. Much of that growth was attributed to the launch of the iPhone 4S.
In total, Apple's iOS mobile platform, which runs on iPhones, iPads and iPod touch devices, reached 316 million units sold at the end of 2011, Dediu said.
A Thursday report from iSuppli, meanwhile, found that sales of the iPhone 4S actually bit into sales of Apple's iPad during the fourth quarter. But during that same Goldman Sachs conference, Cook said he doesn't really care which product consumers are buying as long as they come from Apple.

Ratings & Reviews
By the Light of the Silvery Moon was a sequel to Warner Bros' On Moonlight Bay (1951); both films were loosely based on the "Penrod" stories by Booth Tarkington. Penrod himself (played by Billy Gray) takes a back seat to the main plot, concerning the hot-and-cold romance between Doris Day and Gordon MacRae. Gordon will not marry Doris until he is financially able to do so, which results in several breakups and reunions before the final clinch at the local ice rink. A silly subplot involves Penrod's suspicions that an attractive French schoolteacher (Maria Palmer) is not only romancing his father (Leon Ames), but is also an enemy spy! Set shortly after the end of World War I, Silvery Moon takes full advantage of that era's popular songs. The film isn't quite as good as On Moonlight Bay, but fans of Day and MacRae went home happy. Also: watch closely, and you'll spot Merv Griffin in a minor role. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

In short, I'm not happy with the way things are running right now.
You have seemed rather short tempered lately. Just getting fed up, or is it something else?
It's a lovely morning. I throw off the covers with joy and exclaim, "Golly Gee! I wonder what magical wonders the BBS has for me today!" I frantically jiggle with the power button and await the loading of the enticing and ever expansive Interweb.The colorful display slowly appears and I check the newest threads. New Eva live action series! When is 222 coming out? Who's Shriek? My smile turns to a pursed "o", with uncontrollable bile spewing out.In short, I'm not happy with the way things are running right now. The board has gotten out of hand before, and it's settled but this... this is an extended age of crap. I'll be pulling some weeds around here. This message is not to say that I'll me taking names of who was naughty or nice this year. But I will not stand idly by and watch the Skullknight.net BBS turn into something as vomit inducing as Arcticnightfall or BandofHawks's forums.Further, I will quote a monologue from Snoop Doggy Dogg's "What's My Name?" which I think clearly illustrats my current stance on this situation:"Oh my God! Look at my yard... Look at this mess. I need to call a dog catcher or somethin... Look at that yard. Where's my daughter at?"All I need is a dog catcher.
Did somebody call a Dogg Catcher!? 8)Ill take this question, the answers choice C: the board has kind of been sucking the past few weeks.
Changes to improve the board; cut out the fat, refocus it, and make it the bustling Berserk community it once was.
I'll be the "asshole" once again and say what I think about "weeding."The reason "off-topic" posts are posted... most of which in the trash can section anyways... is because there is now a community here, not where people just purely think about Berserk non-stop. People want to come back to the board and read stuff and talk with the people here, but not always about Berserk. I don't think that its that hard to understand.You can go ahead and create your really boring Utopian society so that whatever has crawled up your ass will finally die. If you only want your 5 or so friends to hang out and talk here, why not make the board private so that the "true intellectuals" won't be annoyed by posts that they don't have to read.There are thought-provoking topics and posts here, but nothing is going to be perfect. I think someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed for the last few years.It blows my mind how you try to come across as someone who is smart and only posts about relevant stuff but most the posts I've ever read from you are mostly rude and obnoxious comments.Ban me from posting, I don't care... it'll show what an elitist dictator you are, Hitler.
But, Im not going to go into details, get all negative or bash anybody and pass blame. Its no single posters fault. If anything, Im more to blame than anyone. Those details Im not going into youre going to be seeing for yourself though, through change. Changes to improve the board; cut out the fat, refocus it, and make it the bustling Berserk community it once was. All we can ask any individual person out there to do is to be excited about Berserk, and to express that excitement in a creative and productive way. Think before you post. Just because someones new to the series doesnt mean they cant talk intelligently about it. Post smart; think about the series, get behind your ideas, be creative and try to offer something new. Hell, if everybody just threw out educated guesses for the upcoming chapters, this place would be full of great speculation.
Ban me from posting, I don't care... it'll show what an elitist dictator you are, Hitler.
Arghhh... the Trashcan is gone.I guess UrashimaSenpai's threat of making the Trashcan his permanent home was a frightening prospect to Wally and co. BTW... the new setup is pretty nice. I guess all general talking and other non-Berserk related material will be relegated to "Shootin' the Breeze".
It's really quite simple. The human race is getting dumber, that's all, and the internet is no exception. It's only a matter of time untill the entire world degenerates into nothing but an undeciperable mess of internet shorthand and smilies.There's really nothing that can be done, but I've found it helps if you stay silent for long periods of time, and then lash out at people randomly. This goes for both on-line and off-line experiences.
Make a new Forum1. For newbies: Where to get scanslationsEvery morning, wake up, turn on the computer, find the new threads, and start flaming them. That will weed out the annoying "How do I get scanslations?"

From comment 1: "Plus, getting back to the discussion on video games, with all the talk about how supposedly violent video games "... quite true there's an excellent visualization of this on the information is beautiful site. It compares the number of deaths to the number of news paper stories about it. Try comparing deadly video games (deaths 0) to deadly killer bees (deaths 11,000).
Both the link to the Trolley problem (assuming no hesitation I'd kill the one) and the quote from James Michener's next-in-line author were excellent additions to the articles. So thanks Marcus.
Very true, now I think back, the more I bought the more I copied other stuff as well. I've no idea which way round the correlation goes, but I do think that there is a genuine correlation.
Nice point on the statistics.
That makes sense. Thanks for the clarification.
I agree with the article, but not the last paragraph. In the last paragraph it's stated - "patent and trademark protections tend to follow a period of great innovation" then "In other words, it acts in the exact opposite manner as it's supposed to."
The first statement is blindingly obvious. The innovations allow the inventors to apply for patents. This then doesn't actually imply the second statement.
What would be useful to see was that innovation drops after a large swathe of patents.
I know patents are abused, but the arguments put in the last paragraph are pretty poor.
Have a look at the front page of the nut job that tried to Trademark this: jasongambert.com
If he changes it in the future - it currently is a picture of a bleeding Jesus Christ on the cross with this quote:
John 15:18 "If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first. If you belonged to the world, it would love you as its own. As it is, you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world. That is why the world hates you."
Full congratulations to Rhea Drysdale for stopping it.
So it seems either that Activision are terrible at writing comment forms (their website is a terrible flash mess to start with), or they've stopped people from sending comments. After checking on both Firefox and IE their comment form (http://www.activision.com/index.html#contact|en_GB) only has one 'To' address - Customer Support and selecting this takes you to their random support pages.
Do let me know if you find another way to let them know how super great I think they are.
A perfect example of a much better, simpler solution existing, usually for free. Good stuff to the open sarcasm folks. Now if only they had a t-shirt with just their logo on it, I'd buy it.
So the graph at the top is a bit misleading as the newsday rankings have risen since, there's also the argument that december is the holiday period. However when you compare year on year results the drop is indeed quite dramatic. Take a look at http://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/newsday.com, click on Traffic Stats | Trafic Rank | Select 'Max' in the drop-down under the graph.
It maybe the reality that music will become free and artists will have make money off the back with other scarce products. What's clear from the last paragraph from DJ Shadow is that musicians want to make money from the music they make not derivatives, they don't want to be t-shirt salesmen and don't want to spend their lives touring. This is probably just artists holding onto their pride, but it should not be ignored when trying to get musicians to change their ideas.
Good stuff Mr. Fish, love the Churchill comment.
Cheers, I've added an equally scaled version: http://www.flickr.com/photos/20950575@N05/4135175581/sizes/o/. There may be some errors / rounding by the people who collected the data on budgets causing the clumping.
Give the discussion over correlation, you might as well graph Budget vs Takings - which I did: http://www.flickr.com/photos/20950575@N05/4114445119/sizes/o/. There is actually very little correlation and the variance increases as you spend more, so its riskier to have a bigger budget.

The Charlotte Hornets appear to be looking hard at adding at least one big man with either the 24th or 45th pick in Thursday's NBA draft.
Two possibilities: Michigan center Mitch McGary and Louisiana State power forward Johnny O'Bryant.
ESPN draft insider Chad Ford connected the Hornets to McGary on Twitter on Tuesday, tying McGary not conducting workouts to the Hornets' interest.
General manager Rich Cho makes it policy not to discuss players heading into a draft. The Hornets have said since the end of last season their areas of need are shooting, a backup point guard and frontcourt depth.

McGary, a 6-foot-10, 266-pound sophomore, is projected in various mock drafts as going anywhere from the end of the first round to midway through the second.
He had a rough final college season. He injured his back during August (he believes while weightlifting) and played only eight games before season-ending back surgery. He averaged 9.5 points and 8.3 rebounds, shooting 55 percent from the field.
Then he failed a drug test for marijuana that potentially entailed a season-long suspension for 2014-15.
When appeals failed, McGary felt his best option was entering the draft. However his injury kept him out of the pre-draft combine last month in Chicago. McGary said he planned some workouts just before the draft, but none have occurred.
He expressed remorse for the failed drug test during an interview with the Detroit Free Press.
"I don't regret much in life. I (would) like to take back failing the drug test," McGary told the Free Press. "(But) I handled it the most mature way.
"That was the most stress I've ever had in my life, going through back surgery and that ordeal, and kind of rising above it."
McGary made a splash in Michigan's 2013 NCAA tournament run, averaging 17.5 points and 11.3 rebounds. He has good hands and some touch around the basket, so he could do some of the things as a backup that Hornets low-post scorer Al Jefferson does as this team's star.
O'Bryant probably wouldn't be in the Hornets' plans before the 45th pick. A 6-8, 257-pound junior, he averaged 15.4 points and 7.7 rebounds and shot 50 percent from the field last season.
The Hornets possibly could need another power forward after starter Josh McRoberts chose to void the last season on his contract and become an unrestricted free agent. The Hornets want to re-sign McRoberts.
