R7RS Scheme Progress Report 47
John Cowan recently gave a talk on the progress of R7RS (slides), the next revision of the Scheme language standard, at LispNYC. After the R6RS debacle, the community stepped back and is now basing the next standard on R5RS; the work has been split into two languages — R7RS-Small and R7RS-Large. The first working group is preparing to issue a final draft of the R7RS-Small language (PDF; clocking in at 73 pages vs. R5RS's 50) within the next few weeks. Read on for a summary of the planned changes to R7RS (more or less in the order of presentation).The talk details a number of improvements over R5RS and R6RS, and is divided into two portions. The majority of the talk discuses the status of the small language, with the last portion giving a quick update on the future intent of the large language group.
First on the list of major new features is a mandatory library system designed to be easily implemented atop existing module systems. R6RS's library system proved to tackle too much at once and be incompatible with everything already in a use (a persistent concern in the design of the R7RS-Small language). The R7RS system, on the other hand, is static, simple, and just powerful enough to promote implementation of portable libraries.
Exceptions are stripped down from R6RS (which proved too incompatible with existing implementations for practical use). guard (similar to try...catch in other languages) and with-exception-handler are supported: the latter runs the handler in the context from which the error was triggered (permitting recovery from the error like invoke-restart ) Unlike r6rs, exceptions lack a strictly defined hierarchy and can be any object (you could e.g. throw 4 if you really felt like it).
Dynamically scoped variables, in the form of parameters, are now part of the standard. Unlike Common Lisp special variables, parameters are first-class objects bound to expressions rather than symbols that are declared dynamically scoped. For reasons of simplicity it was decided to make parameters immutable (i.e. any "mutation" has to be done by rebinding). This has the (intentional) side-effect of making parameters play more nicely with threads (when mutation is permitted, setting a parameter that has not been rebound in the current thread requires synchronizing all threads and can have unexpected results).
As expected, R7RS includes bytevectors to complement strings. The small language standard only permits accessing bytevectors as ordered sets of unsigned 8-bit values (the large language standard will offer more flexible access). Binary I/O is implemented via a set of parallel procedures (open-binary-input-file vs. open-input-file, etc.) in contrast to the incredibly complicated dual binary/text ports provided by R6RS. Additionally, string and bytevector ports similar to SRFI-6 are provided instead of the incompatible string ports provided by R6RS.
Taylor Campbell noted that integer division in most languages is insufficiently expressive, and so R7RS will provide Euclidean division and centered division in addition to the usual suspects. Mathematicians rejoice!
As with R6RS, Unicode support is mandated. Unlike R6RS, the only characters that must be supported are those present in ASCII. For supported characters, Unicode case mapping and normalization are mandatory. One interesting diversion from Unicode and R6RS is that string order comparison is implementation-dependent: this gives implementers latitude with the internal encoding of strings.
Any user of Scheme knows that the language strives for consistent and obvious names for bindings. R7RS furthers this goal by resolving the long-standing inconsistency with core data structure creation, copying, mutation, mapping, etc. Lists, strings, and vectors now have a consistent set of each: make-TYPE, TYPE-copy, TYPE-set!, etc. Conversion procedures between all three types are also provided.
Finally, number of minor improvements were made. Most notable: record types are compatible with SRFI-6 (widely in use today); case sensitivity is the default (with optional insensitivity via include-ci); s-expression and nested block comments were added; IEEE infinities and NaNs have read syntax; strings may contain C-style escape sequences; Common Lisp circular list notation is supported; and common extensions to syntax-rules were standardized.
The final 20 minutes of the talk were about the status of R7RS-Large.
The R7RS Large language is currently on hold, mostly because all the small language members are on the large language committee as well, so there is a lack of time to work on both simultaneously. Work is planned to resume upon release of the final draft of the small language. Some work, however, has been completed.
The main focus of R7RS-Large is providing Scheme "with batteries included." John Cowan started the process by looking beyond the Lisp and Scheme communities (Python is mentioned) to figure out which libraries modern programmers expect their language to include.
This resulted in a list of around 250 packages that was narrowed down to around 80 packages through an initial voting process. It was decided then than some desirable packages (e.g. a foreign function interface) had to be omitted due to complexity. It is expected that implementers will continue experimenting and gradually come to a consensus on the larger packages using the existing SRFI process, and perhaps another revision of the standard down the road.
Of the packages planned for inclusion, the most prominent are: networking, threads, regular expressions, delimited continuations, URI handling, date and time parsing/arithmetic/formatting, hash tables, ambient environment access, file system directory access, gettext (i18n support), and pattern matching.
Most will be optional; packages will only be made mandatory if a number of the other packages require them. A compliant R7RS-Large implementation will only have to either provide a package fully or not at all (half implementations are forbidden).
Interestingly, R7RS large with all packages will be even larger than Common Lisp.
To avoid getting bogged down in stylistic discussions, a decision was made to focus on functionality above other concerns. The resulting packages may not be aesthetically pleasing to everyone, but will provide useful functionality. Users who disagree with naming, scope of functionality, argument ordering, etc. will be free to use the library system to import only the bindings they want, rename functions, wrap things into the style they want, etc. Basically, a compromise between the MIT approach and "Worse is Better" is being sought.
Here a call for volunteers is made: Since the focus will be on functionality over pure aesthetics, developers outside of the Lisp and Scheme communities are actively encouraged to participate in the R7RS-Large language process. No fixed time commitment would be required; the goal is to get a lot of people involved with a few core members maintaining momentum and guiding the process. The R7RS-Large language is most definitely a language designed by and for developers. So, make your voice heard!
Overall R7RS is shaping up to be the standard R6RS should have been (which, of course, could not have happened without the lessons of R6RS). The split between an elegant core language with each design issue meticulously fretted over and voted upon and a looser library standard should, hopefully, result in a core language that will stand the test of time with a standard library that can be used to get actual work done.

Submission + - IBM's Racetrack Memory Advancements Made (hothardware.com)
MojoKid writes: "IBM is one of a number of companies working on a next-generation storage memory project and a recent discovery at Texas A&M University is a step forward for the company's racetrack memory. Racetrack memory relies on a nanowire arranged perpendicular to the chip. Current pulses across the nanowires allow data to be shifted as necessary. In theory, racetrack memory could be the Holy Grail of storage, capable of replacing both traditional hard drives and SSDs simultaneously. Racetrack memory could solve multiple problems and commercial implementations could offer hard drive-level density. Performance and reliability would both be far superior to today's SSDs. To date, IBM has demo'd a three-bit racetrack configuration. It's a start, but it's far from a shippable product at this juncture."

Racing Season is coming soon. Be safe with Racetech racing seats from GMP Performance
Safety is a serious matter.
Thats why the expert team at Racetech is passionate about the tiny details of seats, harnesses and other vital components of your racing machine that really do make a difference in terms of safety. We all know of at least one serious accident that has resulted in extensive damage to vehicles and injury to crew. While we need to accept that vehicle damage is an ever-present risk in a sport which pushes the boundaries, we must do all we can to reduce the likelihood of injury to you, the motorsports competitors of the world. Fortunately, we can reduce or eliminate injury with sensible seat selection, well-engineered and sensible seat mounting , well thought out harness mounting , use of head & neck restraints and good well placed rollcage padding.
And this is where Racetech and David Black come in.
Motorsport safety is David Black's passion. Over the last 8 years, David has been involved with numerous crash-testing programs for the FIA standard, along with development testing with race teams and car manufacturers. During this time, David has continuously strived to learn from this experience so Racetech can offer product that continually enhances crew safety.
Some simple facts about motorsport crashes:
- If you support the human body well enough in the right places and keep all parts of the body in the same relationship to each other, a body can withstand enormous decelerations with minimal or no injuries. 100G is quite survivable.
- The four parts of the body which need this support are the head, shoulders, pelvis and thighs.
- Lateral/side impacts cause more serious injuries than frontal impacts.
- The body should be stopped as close to the chassis deceleration as possible.
- Only 20% of body movement in a frontal deceleration is in belt stretch; the balance is body reconfiguration.
Keeping these facts and FIA standards of safety all in mind, the Racetech line was designed and perfected. And its working! Using a crash recorder in the field, they have measured an 81G lateral impact during use of a Racetech seat in a New Zealand motorsport class. The driver had no injury ... and the seat had no damage! This, to Racetech, is the definition of success.
The same principles that contribute to the intense safety in the whole field of the Swedish TTA, 26 out of 28 Australian V8 Supercars, the FIA World Rally Championship, the British Touring Car Championship and in offshore powerboat racing can be in your vehicle as well.

MCGREGOR, Texas – An unmanned SpaceX rocket self-destructed shortly after launching on a test flight at a Central Texas development site, the company said Friday.
Nobody was injured in the afternoon explosion at the test site in McGregor, Texas, 23 miles southeast of Waco.
The test flight involved a three-engine version of the company's reusable Falcon 9 rocket, spokesman John Taylor said in a statement. "During the flight, an anomaly was detected in the vehicle and the flight termination system automatically terminated the mission," he said.
"Throughout the test and subsequent flight termination, the vehicle remained in the designated flight area. There were no injuries or near injuries," he said.
A representative of the Federal Aviation Administration was present for the flight.
The company offered no further details on the nature of the "anomaly."
"With research and development projects, detecting vehicle anomalies during the testing is the purpose of the program. Today's test was particularly complex, pushing the limits of the vehicle further than any previous test," Taylor said.
SpaceX will review the flight record to learn more about the rocket's performance before its next test flight, he said.
SpaceX has been using the Falcon 9 to launch satellites and the Dragon spacecraft, which delivers cargo to the International Space Station.

Oh, Omar!
3 comments:
As long as Omar becomes Player-Manager in '09, with a limited playing role, I'm all for your plan that he plays only 139 games. That would give me hope. I've been an Emmanuel Burriss fan all of my life! Or Brian Bocock - who's better?
- Wed Feb 27, 08:21:00 PM PST
You said, "I can live with 'no-bat' for a guy with his glove." I can, too, but only one guy like this, and only if he is really, really cool. Omar fits that bill. No other "glove" guys, OK? "Hit" guys with gloves. Winning is cool. Winning makes cool. Omar is cool whether he wins or not, but no one else can pull that off.

As a fan of great ballplaying, it has been a real treat to see Vizquel do his thing. The rest of the package, as you say, oozes cool. Too bad we've had such a crappy team during his time with us. I think Omar would be a damn fine manager, actually, but "player-manager" wastes a roster spot. We can't allow old guys with no upside to block any more youngsters. As far as EB vs. BB, Burriss so far has the edge in minor league statistics. Neither of them hit with any power, but they, so far, are only A-level. Both are 23, I imagine a year at AA and another at AAA means we'll see them in 2010, or late-season call-ups in 2009. Eugenio Velez is on the 40-man roster, he's 25, hit .298 at AA, and has ML time with us. He's the one to watch for 2009.

Peter Beagrie
Football League Expert & Columnist
Peter Beagrie previews weekend's Football League games
An influx of Tottenham stars is having a positive impact on League One Swindon, says Peter Beagrie.
Last Updated: 06/09/13 3:04pm
The Dons had a disappointing time last season, not footballing-wise but in terms of being ruthless and finishing the chances that their creative prowess produced.
However, I spoke to their bright, young manager Karl Robinson and he told me not to write off his team's play-off chances and they very nearly made the top six, missing out by just four points.
And after making some welcome additions this season, including re-signing loan ranger Patrick Bamford of Chelsea, the Dons have started well and are unbeaten in the league after five games.
The Robins, though, have been buoyed by some tremendous results and a new injection of cash, and while it would be a bit much to call them Tottenham's nursery team, the set of Spurs loanees and former White Hart Lane players they have are doing tremendously well, including midfielder Massimo Luongo, who has signed on a permanent deal for £400,000.
The fact that Swindon can spend that sort of money shows they are in a better financial state than when they were forced to sell Matt Ritchie to Bournemouth, which resulted in Paolo Di Canio walking out and the club not getting promotion when they seemed on course for it.
Mark Cooper also has Nile Ranger at his disposal, a lad Alan Shearer spoke very highly of in the past.
When Shearer managed Ranger at Newcastle he said he was quick, strong and brilliant in the air - but it seems that the lad must have a flaw in character.
If he didn't, he wouldn't be playing at the level he is, but you hope Swindon could be the wake-up call for him and that the penny drops and he reignites his career.
There are few other games this weekend that have caught my eye, including...
ROTHERHAM v SHEFFIELD UNITED
David Weir has brought in lots of new recruits and when we saw Sheffield United beat Notts County in the opening game of the Football League season on Sky Sports they looked to be playing a more fluid passing game and attacking with a bit more pace, with Callum McFadzean, Jamie Murphy and Lyle Taylor in their ranks.
That optimism seemed to wane a bit with the sale of Kevin McDonald to rivals Wolves, but has come back again with Abdullah bin Musa'ed bin Abdulaziz Al Saud - or Prince as I am going to call him - buying a 50 per cent stake in the club and things are now looking up.
The Blades have now brought in a couple more players in the shape of Florent Cuvelier and Harry Bunn (pictured) and that is a real boost for the United faithful who continue to follow their club in great numbers - but the club's players won't have it easy against the Millers.
Rotherham manager Steve Evans is very experienced and always seem to get a few bob out of every chairman he works under, and he has brought in players he knows to augment his squad this season.
Matt Tubbs, who Evans worked with at Crawley, has joined on loan from Bournemouth and forms part of a plethora of striking talent that also includes Kayode Odejayi, while Rotherham also have defender Pablo Mills back at the club.
Evans' boys will be looking to complete a Sheffield double after beating Wednesday in the Capital One Cup and it will be a game with a big crowd and plenty of passion.
I suspect the referee will need to sharpen his pencil halfway through because of the number of fierce tackles, and require a new pea in his whistle at the end of the match with the fans' fervour replicated on the pitch.
BURTON v OXFORD
The business that Gary Rowett has done over the summer has been very good as he tries to replace the goals and guile of Jacques Maghoma, and Rene Howe looks a great acquisition as he leads the line well and knows his way to goal.
Oxford, meanwhile, are managed by Chris Wilder, who used to be my boot boy and knows the leagues, including the Conference, inside out and that helps him pick up some very good players like Alfie Potter, who has started really well this year.
Potter (pictured) is someone who can light things up in the final third and plays in a team with lots of resolve and experience and a smattering of youth. Wilder managed to complete the vast majority of his transfer dealings early and that time gelling in pre-season has been key.
The infrastructure is there at Oxford and the continuity - Wilder has been in charge since 2008 - is serving them well and they currently sit in the lofty heights of second place behind everybody's favourites Chesterfield, who face Accrington this weekend.
CHESTERFIELD v ACCRINGTON
After five games of the League Two season, there is a 12-point gap between top-of-the-table Chestefield and rock-bottom Accrington - and that difference is only going to get bigger as the season goes on.
The Spireites have a bigger fan-base than Stanley, a plush new ground and big budget and they have purchased players who are tried and tested and can guarantee you a good performance, such as former Ipswich and Huddersfield player Gary Roberts (pictured), who is already lighting things up.
There are signs that James Beattie can motivate his Accrington side.
He has given his young players a lot of responsibility and Kal Naismith looked great in the Sky Live game with Portsmouth - but that has been an isolated incident.
It is hard to convince people things will get better when you have lost five games in a row without scoring, as they have done following the JPT defeat to Crewe.
James has had to beg, steal and borrow to supplement his squad and will be relieved when the loan window re-opens next week so he can try to get more players in.

Hey guys, just to clear up any confusion, I have retired from filming porn. Austin is still filming and the new owners will carry the site into the next evolution. Yes, you can still enjoy all of our previously filmed Austin and Zane scenes.
Hey guys, just to clear up any confusion, I have retired from filming porn. Austin is still filming and the new owners will carry the site into the next evolution. Yes, you can still enjoy all of our previously filmed Austin and Zane scenes.
Former gay-for-pay porn performer, Zane Michaels and his former partner, Austin Andrews, created an award-winning porn website that took the industry by storm. The chemistry that the two of them created together on screen was unmatched by any other performers and led most to question how "straight" these guys actually were. While many believed they were real-life lovers, their off-camera life was a lot more turbulent. 'Shame and Fortune' is an intimate look into the real lives of these two former best friends and how working in the porn industry affected them and details the rise and eventual fall of Austin & Zane.
The two of them met while working for a different porn company and quickly became close friends. When their boss of that other company began trying to use his power to have his way with the guys, they started a plan that would eventually run him out of business. Without having any knowledge of how to build or operate a website and being two straight guys trying to start a gay porn company, it was an uphill battle from the very beginning. As the industry began to take notice, the duo beat the odds and not only won Best Content Site, but were also voted by the fans to Co-Host the award show!
The pressures of the industry would take it's toll on the duo and their friendship started to deteriorate. The two were great at painting a pretty picture in front of the camera but they could only fake it for so long. At summer's end, the guys sold off their company and went their separate ways. Zane felt that it was important to share his story with the thousands of fans that have supported them along the way. 'Shame and Fortune' will take you on their journey from the very beginning right through to the bitter end.
Indeed..it's one of the reasons I am not willing to give up money for most porn sites anymore. Austin and Zane owened it to their customers to give them a heads but instead simply took the money and left the customers in the dust.
I'll wish them well but I'm glad I didn't give them money. As for AD,ever since he got busted in NC and moved,it slowly started to go downhill.
Dynk's response to the Axel case and crappy updates have further made many loyal customers leave. I do think his site will be in done in a year or two.
And I'll pass on the book. I've had friendships end badly but I will still never put the reasons why out there for the whole world to see.
What was the orginal site Austin and Zane worked for?
Well, Zane certainly incorporated the end of AustinZane.com into his book awfully quickly. Just a week or so ago he was saying the book would be available digitally on October 11. I guess some quick rewriting of the ending?
As to the last paragraph above, probably a better way of showing appreciation to their fans who supported them would be to not leave them hanging with a subscription that isn't worth anything. Since Austin posted an update today, maybe he's going to try to pull it off a while longer. But I imagine they won't have any subscribers left after another few days.
The other complicating factor, imo, is that Zane always appeared to be the voice of az, in blogs, social networks, etc. Someone in the az biz will have to assume at least part of that role if they want to continue with the same style of web site. az got a lot of support early on from customers, including myself, by being up front (and communicating) about what was going on. Chosing "lockdown" at this point, would be a major loss of customer goodwill.
As others have said it was the synergy and chemistry between Austin and Zane that was a major strength of the web site. I rewatched the Austin and Brett video from last week with the banter in the beginning. (Austin talks about his recent move - which should have been foretelling.) Although a good start, Zane's absence in the conversation was palatable. Austin comes off as almost babbling and Brett is kind of "what are you talking about". It wasn't bad, but it was kind of like watching Desi Arnaz without Lucy. Austin & Co may choose to take the web site in a different direction, but if they wants to maintain the style of the past, they will need to find someone that can play off Austin like Zane did, at least in front of the camera. Likewise, sexually, Zane liked to kiss, which gave their scenes a sweet bf feel.
Two years ago, as a startup, a&z had decent name recognition as models, but assumed the rest as their own risk. They created a product that was rather unique. Today, there is a working business, with assets including equipment, reoccuring income, affiliates, customers, and goodwill. The onus is on Austin and Co to decide if there is an act two to az, or whether this will be a slow (or not slow) death march.
Update#1: "Where in the world is Zane Michaels?": Six hours ago, Zane tweeted taht he was starting his 2000 mile trip home. Assuming that he takes the northern route, he should be pulling into Salt Lake City this evening.
I think there is still a little misunderstanding, let me try again. I have retired from filming but the site is still functioning and open for business. The site is in good hands now and will be fine without me there. I have been writing my book over the past 3 years and I finished it in August. It is an in depth look at the challenges we faced being 2 straight guys creating a gay porn website. It is not a trash piece, it is more of my autobiography and how being in this industry has affected many areas of my life. I have always cared strongly about Austin and he has known all along that I have been writing this book. It is unfortunate that our friendship is not as it was before but know matter what has happened, I will always hold a special place in my heart for Austin and the site. Please do not quit checking out the site because I have retired, I'm sure AZ and GISP will have an amazing run without me. I am a little emotional over my departure because it has been my baby for so long and it was tough to let go of even though I know it is the best thing for me (and the site) right now and I'm excited to see AZ evolve into everything I ever dreamed of and more! Businesses go thru management changes all the time and I have complete faith in the future of the site
WAY MORE important to their "porn site" -- is the question, how are these two guys doing in real life?
It is TRAGIC to see such a GREAT friendship vaporize over what can ULTIMATELY only be TRIVIAL issues...
ALL the best to both of you...
$30 give or take to those of us who subscribed is meaningless...
Hey guys I just talked to Zane (he is driving through Utah right now) he wanted me to let everyone know AustinZane is still in great hands and will make a strong comeback. He is trying to put a response here but his new JUB account is awaiting moderation. Also to just to clear up any confusion Austin is still filming with AustinZane.
*edit* this was meant for my post above but I see Zane did get his post to go through here. He wasn't sure it did and asked me to post for him as he literally is driving across country.
Thanks PM... Sorry guys for the confusion. Over the past 4 years, I grew closer to Austin than my own family. I am blessed to have been able to have him in my life, I freaking love that kid and I wish him the best with all of his future endeavors. I have horrible separation anxiety which stems fr losing a best friend to a drunk driver in 07 so the thought of losing close friends is really tough for me, especially if my actions are responsible for it. Sure thrre were mistskes made along the way but There are no fingers to point and I am sure if we could go back and change a few things we would. You live and you learn. We have placed the site in the hands of people who I am more than confident in that they will be capable of making it bigger and better than ever. For me, I need to go back home to detach and reset myself, my emotions were getting in the way. I don't plan on coming back to porn but weirder things have happened. This drive has been pretty therapeutic so far and I'm feeling a lot better than the first few hours of the drive. Sad, yes- but not the end of anything, just a lot of new beginnings.
Good God.....first Amy Poehler & Will Arnett and now Austin & Zane? Rough week for celebrity couples I love
I was one of the many people who would watch an AZ scene (particularly the scene in the kitchen, or the "Valentine's Day" scene) and think, no, they can't just be two straight guys performing for the camera. Without Zane, the site loss one of its major drawcards. I doubt it'll be the same. I adored watching scenes with Zane, he was such a great performer, so sweet (and he bottomed like a champ). And the moments between him and Austin were scorching.
You can't help but wonder what tumultuous events went on, behind-the-scenes, that led to it all falling apart. I know we'll have the book (a tell-all book. Porn's gotten so high-brow these days ). But that'll only be half the story, you know?
Still, it'll be a shame to see Zane go. But at least we do have their body of work. They occupy a strong place in my "go-to" scenes, I know that much.
I'd be curious to know what's so shameful about making gay porn.
So before leaving the industry entirely, Zane did at least one scene outside of az for m e n. c o m. According to MOP it is a "gay dating game" and will be released this Friday. In addition to Zane it also includes Robert Axel, Tommy Defendi, Tony Newport, and Rocco Reed. It looks cute.
It will be interesting to see if this is an indication of who bought az. (I'd link to the article on MOP but j.u.b. censors links to web sites that they consider competition.)
Zane as one of the contestants
Tony Newport - another x-az model who is doing quite well these days
the setup (after Tony asks if he can keep all of them, including the cameraman)
Tony sucks Zane
Zane fucks Tony
Who's the guy who's interviewing Tony New port (second pix)?
So I know a few folks were speculating on what may or may not be in the book.... There are some excerpts available now at http://shameandfortunebook.com and there is also a really cool trailer on youtube
I've been looking forward to this book easily over a year so I know it will be a good one... the trailer and the excerpts imo shows you how deep this book will be.
Yes, that is a horrible picture of me... But, the scene was pretty fun, however, it was the longest shoot I've ever been a part of!
how are you now? how's the long drive home?
It's not a good sign that they appear to have shut off the comments on the site or are heavily moderating them. And unless I am totally missing it, still no mention on the site of his leaving, which I assume is why the comments are essentially turned off.
Zane was the main reason I joined and stuck with the site from its inception. I like Austin as well, but not enough to maintain an ongoing membership and I used to love Bret, but with every new tattoo he just looks worse and worse. Bret also used to be very lively with a fun personality so I could look past the excessive ink, now it seems like he has to work up an effort to even say anything.
Zane gave the site its personality and always served well as its communicator. I cancelled my membership and will take a wait and see approach. The first video posted since this "announcement" is not a promising for the future.
Whoever bought the site is already ruining it. The newest update is a huge "WTF". How did they go from being a site that featured college aged men to daddies such as Mitch Vaughn? The site was a breath of fresh air for porn and now it looks like it is going in a very different direction and using the same over used models, not to mention those that this site was not meant to feature. The members it seems will be leaving in droves. So Sad it had a great concept and now seems ruined.
partially off topic
I have to thank a couple of jub posters (LuvFindsAndyHardy and Phunk) for pointing me to the best video I watched this weekend. After spending $10 to purchase a couple of so-so porn videos (cfs), I spent $10 on iTunes to watch "The Women" (1939) – of Jungle Red fame. It was excellent (better than "Aiden & Chandler under the sheets").
Although sometimes I think some of us feel like little Mary in "The Austin Zane Story," it remains to be seen how much, if any, similarity there is between az's story and "The Women". Zane's book should help answer some of these questions. At least a lot of the action happened in the right state if not the right city (LV, not Reno). Substituting an all male cast for an all female cast works. And some of the dialog seems appropriate for a gay porn studio. I can't even decide who to cast as Mrs. Steven Haines, let alone what role Chi-Chi should have.
There are several good clips from this film on YouTube as well as the original trailer. Don't confuse the 1939 original with the 2008 remake, which was largely panned by reviewers and film-watchers.
For more information about this film:
- good overview of the film, including its plot: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Women_%281939_film%29
- a thoughtful discussion of the film, all the famous actresses in the film, and 1939: http://mildredfierce.com/?p=174
- film on iTunes for $10: http://itunes.apple.com/us/movie/the...39/id329200227
- variety of information. http://www.tcm.com/tcmdb/title/509/The-Women/ (In the US if you are willing to wait, you can watch the film on Nov 25, 2012 at 12 noon on TCM.)
"The Women" usually tops the list of the gayest movies ever made, finishing even before Baby Jane. There are no men in it -- not even the dogs ("there's a word for ladies like you . . ."). That opening montage in the 5th Ave Salon (or what would today be called a 'day spa') is brilliant! Also the technicolor fashion show interlude (fyi Adrian was apparently very straight). It's a miracle that movie made at the height of the Hayes Code got away with Joan's famous last 'kennel' line.
I've seen little clips of the 2008 remake with Meg Ryan in the Norma Sheerer role. Don't bother. Too painful.
Bringing this back-to-topic, who in the Austin Zane stable would play the Rosalind Russell role? It really is her movie.
One of my favorite movies EVER! The dude ranch catfight between Roz Russell and Paulette Goddard alone is worth ten times more than the whole remake ("Did you ever see a horse LAUGH?")
JR's momma let girls dine on her fine fin and haddy?!
"Bret" is Marjorie Main.
So Shame and Fortune is avail now.
I'm only about a third of the way in and even with an idea of some of the stuff that would be in it I am blown away by some of the stories in it so far. I will give the heads up that names were changed for the book. I know there has been speculation about Austin and Zanes friendship, the former website and the current one. I can't say this will answer 100% of the questions out there but I do think this will shed light on some things that previously were not obvious to the public at large. I'm thinking of starting a seperate thread for Zane & book discussion (I would guess it would still be in the porn section or should it go somewhere else?). Wondering anyone else reading it or at least planning on it?
^If you DO start another thread...
Could you link to it here on THIS thread???
That way -- those Jubbers who have been following AZ's website might be able to FIND that thread in the future!!!
It MIGHT even BOOST book SALES!!!
Sure I was wondering should it still go into the porn section? Anyone know? On a side note I finished the book and while there were things I already knew in it there were a ton of things I had no clue on. Its sad really I do wish the new owners well with the site and even Austin assuming he continues on as a performer but even I have to say I am shocked at the lack of communication coming from anyone over there. I am really trying to figure out if I am cancelling my membership in the next day or two before it renews. At this rate it really is turning into the old SCM.
The above post is totally my opinion and while in the past I have made a post here or there on behalf of Zane this post in no way reflects his beliefs... just want to get that out there in case anyone reading this had any questions about that.
Do as you wish about a new thread, but my suggestion would be to let the discussion continue in this thread. This thread was created because all of us were interested in Austin and Zane and the web site that they were developing and marketing. Zane's book is the story of that partnership. The partnership of Austin and Zane has now ended. Keeping the book discussion with this thread keeps the story in one place on jub.
austin and zane seemed more exciting when they were still in 2scm
There's so much hype and myth around AZ, it's becoming ridiculous, and comparing it to The Women is about the gayest point of view I can think of. What is it that makes them so special in comparison to the dozens and dozens of other guys in porn that came before them and are following suit?
AZ had potential but I think they made the mistake of making porn - at the time - their priority, which can take its toll on young, impressionable men over a lengthy period of time. Even professional porn "stars" with 20 years of experience have always had a day job that has kept them from losing grip of reality.
So I decided to sit down and read Zane's book "Shame and Fortune". It's less than 200 pages so I was able to get through it pretty quickly. While Zane used his own names (porn and given) throughout the book, he made a somewhat thoughtful attempt to rename others in order to protect their privacy. I say somewhat because there are occasions where several mistakes were made and the actual persons were identified. I'm guessing Zane didn't have an editor for this book as there are loads of errors throughout it.
The ending was a jumbled confusing mess. But the rest of the book was interesting.
QUALIFIER: There are 7 billion humans on planet Earth and with them comes 7 billion opinions. Mine is just one.
I strongly dislike GAY FOR PAY porn stars. I am one of those gay guys with disposable income and none of my money would ever go to the likes of Cody Cummings. Never. Our biggest sexual organ is our brain. The only thing that separates a gay guy from a straight guy is how we view or see a gay guy versus a straight guy. What value or price tag do we assign to a straight guy that we don't to a gay guy? In 2012 gay men are every bit as macho as straight men. Alex Marte, John Magnum, Adam Killian, Kurt Rogers, Peto Coast, Ace Rockwood, Matthew Rush. The list goes on and on.
Today the only difference you will notice between a GAY FOR PAY porn star versus a GAY porn star is "how your mind views each one of them". It all boils down to how we as gay men view being gay.
I like Zane Michaels. He was the main (and only) reason I joined AustinZane in the first place. I never read anything on the site or participated in chats with the guys. I only logged in when there was a new scene between Zane and Austin. If they were in a duo scene, I wanted the video. If the video was a threesome or solo or Zane with someone else or Austin with someone else, I didn't even bother watching it. For me it was all about the chemistry between Zane and Austin.
So the biggest shock for me in "Shame and Fortune" was the fact that they were straight. When I read the first page and saw "As a straight guy. . .", I did a double take. WTF? I was completely floored. Completely.
Austin and Zane are some of the best actors in the world period - Maybe? Whenever I watched their scenes I was so turned on by the fact that they were turned on by each other. I remember one scene where Zane was making breakfast for Austin. They were touching each other, kissing each other, rubbing each other, licking each other. While Zane was standing at the stove making eggs, Austin squatted down and stuck his tongue in Zane's ass. Austin also protected Zane during this scene. When they started fooling around, Austin moved Zane's body away from the stove to ensure Zane didn't get burned. Either they were really into each other or again their acting is off the fucking charts.
In other scenes I also watch erections. It took nothing for Zane to become erect when Austin touches him. I would look for this during uninterrupted scenes where Zane went from flaccid to erect with no scene cuts, splices or edits. Their scenes were hot - especially when no one else was in the room with them.
And I also believe that Zane meant something to Austin. Austin has a child named after Zane (Zane's actual middle name I believe). Who does that? It is no reason the baby's mother had "issues" with Zane. These guys pack a LOT of chemistry between each other. I always assumed that Zane was gay.
After finishing the book I still believe Zane is closer to 6 on the Kinsey scale relative to Austin. It's evident in the book that Austin can become CONSUMED with his girlfriends. I didn't get that sense with Zane and his female consorts. Throughout the book, I got the impression that if Austin ever came up to Zane and told him let's run away together and sell bananas on a tropical island, Zane would already have a bag packed ready in the hall closet.
I believe Austin was conflicted. He loved Zane but he also really enjoyed the company of females to great peril it seemed. His girlfriends wanted unconditional 100% devotion. And for each of them it seemed the ultimate test of that love was to ensure that Austin abandoned Zane in deference to her. And it seemed Zane was looking for the same thing as well. Zane's love for Austin was big enough to allow Austin to have girlfriends but there seemed to be this unspoken mantra of "Bros before Hos" which really equated into me (Zane) before her (insert Austin's femme du jour here). You really never sensed this type of conflict when Zane had a girlfriend. Austin wasn't as bothered. There were never any conflicts between Zane's girlfriends (when he had them) and Austin.
Another thing about this digital book is the fact of what is missing from the pages. Zane never really talks about the sex between him and Austin. He writes about starting and completing scenes. He shares the logistics of the scenes but nothing else. He never speaks of their sexual chemistry. And the reader is also left with the biggest question of all: have the two ever been intimate with each other off camera within the past 5 or so years that they have known each other? The honesty behind that question would be quite telling. Separately they are two interesting guys. But together they are a beautiful display of fireworks.
All of this is somewhat tragic really. In a perfect world, Austin and Zane would be a couple both on and off screen. They would care for each other and love each other immensely, traveling the world, connecting with people all over and building a life full of memories, adventures and strong bonds. But that isn't gonna happen now.
Zane is going to return back home and initially might try to build a relationship with Jacey or Brianna or some other girl that he might think fulfills the void of an absent Austin but I'm guessing no one will replace that void. BUT I DO WISH HIM WELL.
Austin's future is unknown at the moment. I do see another baby on the horizon at some point. And that website isn't going to last. Trust me. I have cancelled my membership. That site was all about Zane and Austin and if Zane isn't returning, my guess is several members will not as well. Only time will tell. The latest scenes added are key indicators. None of the guys are memorable with the exception of the ubiquitous and likable Mitch Vaughn. BUT I DO WISH AUSTIN WELL.
There is a LOT of dysfunction in this book. But they are real guys trying to build solid and stable lives for themselves. I think they are misguided about the ramifications of what it means to be gay. . . . just like many of us may be who fork out money for GAY FOR PAY porn stars.
Thanks for reading my book and I enjoyed how thorough your analysis is Yes, if you bought the digital version off of Amazon, you did indeed receive an early, unedited version and should be receiving the revised and extended version by weekends end (for free). To answer your question, We have never messed around off camera- I didn't include that in the book because I didn't want the book to come across as this macho see-look-how-straight-we-are story that many gay-for-payers promote religiously. I wanted it to be an honest, open look at the dynamic and the struggles that came along with the situation we were in. I didn't speak a whole lot about the chemistry because to be honest, I wrote the book over the past three years and was too busy running a company that it didnt really sink in that our scenes were that amazing. It wasn't until I started finishing the book that I actually began looking back and figuring a lot of things out. As for your bananas and tropical island theory, maybe my bags are already packed, but I would have to think twice from now on and look past the facade. I'm an eternal optimist and would love nothing more than to be friends with Austin again but I don't really think that's going to happen... There's a lot of pain there but regardless of how things went and are, I'll always have a lot of love for that kid and I wish him well in whatever he does.
P.S. thanks to all of you that have read my book. 'Shame and Fortune' debuted at #14 on Amazon right behind a book that was written by Justin Beiber's mom- how awesome is that!?!
Hi Spiff,
I honestly did not know they worked for SCM. When I was reading the book I actually had to stop and go online to research where they were before AustinZane appeared. And when I did a Google search, Just Us Boys answered the question (some post here). I made a mental note to join Just Us Boys after I finished reading the book just because of the assistance. You will see that my post above was my first here. So I had no idea. But that answer and Zane's book did explain why Austin and Zane kept talking about the use of balloons in their first video. When I first saw their 1 year anniversary video, I kept wondering why they linked balloons to their 1st ever scene together. And then I finally got it.
The only person I knew from SCM was a guy named Dean who had an amazing ass. But when I learned he too was GAY FOR PAY I lost interest. He still has a nice ass but so does Adam Killian and John Magnum so I send my money over to Lucas Entertainment or other gay studios. Makes me feel better. Not saying everyone has to do that - just my preference.
I will miss the chemistry between Zane and Austin. I think most will. Their scenes together were really really hot. I don't know how Austin is going to find a Zane replacement. Zane is the only reason I joined in the first place. I liked his butt, his smile and his personality. So finding a Zane replacement will be tough. But I'm sure Austin and/or the new owners will try.
Some pictures of Zane from twitter since retiring:
That is just beautiful . . .
AZ was the last recorded site where Drake Wild performed. Any updates on him?
Hey guys, Zane here. I will be loading up a truck/trailer with supplies and construction equipment and heading to NYC/NJ to assist with the cleanup efforts for the next few weeks. If you have ANYTHING you can donate to the cause, please private message me for details and I can pick them up on the way. Thanks guys!
Heading down there myself to do same.
As a complete non sequitur, you have a stunning cock.

It was refreshing to see some optimism in this piece :). I had been trudging through so many negative articles about uncredible and unauthentic pieces, however finding this reinforced my faith.
This article explores the notion of collaboration and cooperation being a characteristic of human nature.
I found it difficult to rank this piece below "How to destroy your credibility by sacrificing Authenticity" as it is extremely informative and inspiring, yet though it is more so based on theory and ideology i feel the former source is more imperative.

Borders... the first thing I think of was a giant bookstore near my hometown... it now ceases to exist, having been replaced by Barnes and Nobel... As for the political organization of space, I could apply this situation and laugh. Borders will cease to be, and they will be called after people's last names! I think this has already happened, when people unite together in countries such as the USA- although borders are specific, the general federal laws and many policies still apply in all states... generally. And people's names are often the namesakes of places. I don't like the idea of borders, though, it seems like a bunch of warmongers trying to get ahead in a world where they can't truly cheat death, so they cheat other people of land that may have been decreed in ancient documents as property of their ancestors, or even in accordance with the righteousness of the universe and what should be alloted to whom. Ownership is a concept of denial, because no one can truly own anything, not even our bodies, which contain trillions of infinite universes the size of the large one around us that we commonly refer to. Borders are relative, and will likely become recognized as obsolete. I know this was abstract, but it's my thoughts on the topic.

double post
Dude take a few ounces of water and hit it with 100mph gust of air and watch it turn to mist.... if my car blows over at 110+ the last thing I'm worried about is a little water that's just silly... Also those who are running 8s are probably only making a couple passes and shutting it down my car should run non stop as lOng as I want
On second thought I'll stay out of this. Good luck PBO.

Regardless of what any Lipo company claims there is no such thing as a water proof lipo, if you notice every water test always shows the plugs and balance tab out of water. Sure the chances of a problem are slim but the threat is there. I was referring to the fact you using a non water proof ESC and the fact that eventually it will be a problem and seeing the XO-1 track record of flipping and crashing i see you having problems sooner than later. I was just providing a fair warning. Either way i think im done here and ive made my point clear regardless if anyone agrees with me or not. Before we start beating this dead horse any further, i wish you luck on your attempt.
PS: remember the XL2 isnt a VXL......water damaged isn't covered by castle period its a substantial $ risk your taking.
I used to be into scalers (honcho). And i would drive it through cricks and small rivers. My lipo's would be 100% completely submerged at times and I never had a problem with them. And I also did nothing more than shake the excess water out of them before recharging them. Obviously no manufacturers would endorse such use, but this has been my experience.
Losi 8ight-T 2.0 is 15.09 wheel base
So we are talking less than and inch difference in wheel base which is what really matters here. Also i can tell you owning both cars the truggy is heavier than the XO-1 fully built. I don't have a scale so i cant weigh my truggy just this second but to give you an idea the nitro truggy RTR nitro fueled up is exactly 9 pounds according to there website. Brushless power set ups like this are always heavier than there nitro counter parts. Calculate how much heavier the 1717 is than the standard big block nitro motor......and then factor in a 8S pack plus ESC.....
Believe my friend BELIEVE.......
PS: buggies are always much shorter than there truggy counter parts
Buggies are 2-3" shorter than truggys depending on make & model
MiamizFinest, what sort of wheels/tyres are you using for 112mph on your truggy?
Just upgraded my canards they now have virtually no flex were before they were very flimsy now when I push on them they compress my shocks with 2.3mm springs!!!
^ I like that..
slash 4x4 168mph
youtube:philip jolley
When you do it make sure you drill your hole in the right spot try to split the difference front to back and I made mine so the hole was right in front of the lip on the underneath side of the canard just make sure to leave enough space for bolt head so it doesn't bind up on that lip if you look at the bottom of yours you will see what I'm talking about
That's pretty nice work there. I like it.
cool idea.
Thanks I just felt like they were way to flimsy if I barley touched them they wiggled so I could only image how much they must shake and bend at 100mph
I'm gonna get some aluminum ends for it the plastic ones have a little play in them so when I change the ends it will be rock solid and function the way they were intend to function
I put carbon fiber wheelie bars on my car today I have two rear diffusers so if it's not needed I'll just use them on something else
I put carbon fiber wheelie bars on my car today I have two rear diffusers so if it's not needed I'll just use them on something else
Ordered a 36 tooth and a 42 tooth pinion gear today this thing is gonna fly with the 42 on 8s lol that is if my batteries ever show up!!!
How do you plan to run a gear bigger than 36t pinion? Looks like it will hit shock spring.
slash 4x4 168mph
youtube:philip jolley
I flipped my rear arms and my shocks are now on the back side I have no limitations when it comes to space
Ok so I got the 42t pinion gear and it's huge lol I haven't tried to instal it yet but it looks like the only complication will be the chassis floor actually it's not the chassis but the diffuser it MAY take a little dremel work to get it to fit but I have extra diffusers just for experimenting so we will see what it's gonna take to get it in there here soon i will post a vid once I get it in there
I will say the gear that I ordered is thinner than the stock pinion gear and I'm not sure if that gonna make excessive wear on the spur gear but it will only be in for a couple insane speed runs and then I will go back to the 34 or 36
Also I would like to add for those who keep saying my water cooling system serves no real purpose go read the thread "a great day of running" this is exactly what I planned to fix!!!
Traxxas them selves clearly say not to run the car at lower speeds as it will over heat and ducati777 clearly states when trying to race around with others cars in a short coarse setup his thermal alarm went off several times I garuntee I will not have to worry about this at all
Again does it have to have it NOPE but will it serve a purpose YOU BET IT WILL!!!!
Cool brotha looking forward to seeing it.
slash 4x4 168mph
youtube:philip jolley
dont forget the old school vw bugs ! lol
Oooo I'm named!
Yep, 34 pinion, racing on a short course caused my motor to run hotter than I would have liked. Also, that alarm comes on at its own level, doesn't seem to matter if you change it on the dashboard....
So I guess the question is would I prefer better slow speed cooling, or regearing each time I move from speed venue to racing venue...
Option 1 certainly sounds easier...
But I'll stick with Option 2 for now... I'll regear for Saturday so I don't have to worry about temps this weekend. If I'm geared too tall, I'm wasting energy through heat. Sure we could build a bigger cooling system, but I prefer to run more efficiently.
Now... if someone could just make a nuclear, or infinite energy battery.... we could use gigantic cooling systems and disregard efficiency! Hmmmm a man can dream.
+1^, four screws and a grub and your done swapping pinions.
Would you drive your real car locked in overdrive in the city?
Dude my car on 8s won't care what pinion gear is in there get over it
Here is a update I have everything mounted and plumbed I decided not to use the fans over the motor this is how it's gonna be only with 4s lipos I will do the wiring probably Sunday or Monday
And then I will focuse on exterior appearance
Can I suggest some cable/zip ties on that plumbing
Ohh yeah it will get that or maybe something else if I can find something that looks better all plumbing is 1/4" so I was hopeing to find some cool clamps "aluminum/chrome" from like jegs or summit for show cars just to really set it off
Hey junkie, did you get those pm's I sent you?
The batteries I order are the 65-130c 5000mah ******* I'm not sure if im going to be able to use the factory clamps... I will come up with something when they come if they dont fit in there... I know I'm going to eventually order the thunder power g6 70c 7700mah but they are expensive
I have built all of this for less then the original price of the car I paid 975 shipped and sold my complete telemetry system with the esc for 525 plus I even bought a charger and I think I'm just now back close to my original purchase price!!! Lol
I haven't had a chance to check it i did c you comment on utube I just had a baby last week and been working a lot of hours so its been hecktic I will check it and send you a detailed list here soon
So what's left? When will you drive it?
Thanks man!!
Should have it ready to run by the time I get my lipos wich they are on there way just not sure how long it will take to get to Ohio from china...
This might be silly but has anyone considered a parachute system for the xo-1 to help minimize damadge when the car goes airborne I know that it would take some quick reflexes but I watched a vid of a guy runnin 130+ (wich is what i am shotting for) with a rc car and when it went airborne I know it had to have went 30+ feet high and if he had a parachute it defiantly would have reduced impact...

June 10—The Sodexo Foundation recognized eight employees as 2009's
"Heroes of Everyday Life," at a fundraising in Washington, D.C.
They are: Glen Berkel, district manager in Senior Services, Johnson City, Tenn.; Teresa Byrne, general manager in Corporate Services, Des Plaines, Ill.; Marilyn Conley, cashier/hostess in Campus Services, Bellingham, Mass.; Gary Hutchinson, vice president of operations in Senior Services, Leola, Pa.; Paul Paltrineri, general manager in Campus Services, Keene, N.H.; David Randle, lead cook in Corporate Services, Chicago, Ill.; Laurie Tutora, cook and foodservice associate in Corporate Services, St. Paul, Minn.; and Mike Wojtanowski, director and customer service and support at corporate headquarters, Gilbert, Ariz.
The award honors employees who are volunteering their time in the fight against hunger in their communities. The 2009 Heroes were involved in creating and serving meals, conducting food collection drives and organizing fundraising events.
"A spirit of service is one of Sodexo's core values and we depend on all our employees to embody this mission every day in the course of their work," Stephen Brady, president of the Sodexo Foundation, said in a press release. "These 'Heroes of Everyday Life' have set a new standard for service by contributing to their communities and to people in need, giving of their time and talents. This is so vital for families who critically need help as our economy continues to be difficult. The Sodexo Heroes are role models for all of us."
In addition to the recognition, the Sodexo Foundation made a $5,000 grant in the name of each recipient to the hunger-related organization of their choice. This year, Kellogg's pledged to match each grant.

WASHINGTON -- You know you're in trouble when you can't even get your walk-back story straight. Stung by the worldwide derision that met President Obama's fudging and fumbling of his chemical-weapons red line in Syria, the White House leaked to The New York Times that Obama's initial statement had been unprepared, unscripted and therefore unserious.
The next day Jay Carney said precisely the opposite: "Red line" was intended and deliberate.
Which is it? Who knows? Perhaps Obama used the term last August to look tough, sound like a real world leader, never expecting that Syria would do something so crazy. He would have it both ways: sound decisive but never have to deliver.

Skip to comments.Dick Durbin: We, er, dont have the votes in the Senate to pass Obamas jobs bill
Posted on 09/29/2011 7:37:35 PM PDT by SeekAndFind
Note well: It's not because of a GOP filibuster either.
Senate Majority Whip Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) said that, at the moment, Democrats don't have the votes to pass President Obama's jobs bill, but Durbin added that that would change.
"Not at the moment, I dont think we do but, uh, we can work on it," Durbin said according to Chicago radio station WLS…
"The oil-producing state senators dont like eliminating or reducing the subsidy for oil companies, "Durbin said. "There are some senators who are up for election who say Im never gonna vote for a tax increase while Im up for election, even on the wealthiest people. So, were not gonna have 100% Democratic senators. Thats why it needs to be bi-partisan and I hope we can find some Republicans who will join us to make it happen."
Is this news? We knew on Sept. 14 that Democrats were leery of the bill when Reid insisted that they had other business to handle before taking it up. Two days later, we found out that Senate Democrats spent an hour and a half griping about the bill to White House aides in a meeting. Five Democrats — Begich, Webb, Landrieu, Mikulski, and Casey — were specifically named as opponents. Three days after that, Durbin told CNN not to expect any action on it until October at the earliest, a prediction that'll end up being proved right. To the extent that his latest comments are "news," it's for two reasons. One: Despite having had two weeks to convince his own party's congressional caucus to rally behind him on this extremely prominent measure, Obama's still up shinola creek. That's what happens when your job approval trend lines look like this. Two: We all realize, I hope, that the bill is chiefly a political ploy designed to show The One being proactive on the seminal electoral issue of the day. He expects Republicans to block it, at which point he'll turn around and blame our endless economic malaise on the GOP. That's perfectly straightforward — except that he forgot to craft the bill to make sure that it would attract the support of Democrats at least, which is essential if he wants to frame opposition to it as blind wingnut partisanship. I'm as confused as Dave in Texas is about that. If you want to isolate Republican obstructionism as America's big problem, you should probably first double-check with your own guys to make sure they're not being obstructionist too, huh?
Brand new from Fox News tonight: A clear majority of voters (52/38) say that if Obama were CEO of a company, he'd have been fired by now. I can't imagine why.
Levin had a good segment on this tonight.
the pro homo, pro cross dressing liberal biased media tells us zero is smart, smart in what for heavens sake the man is an idiot.
Dems are saying we don't want your bill, you bill failed last time like your budget and yet you still keep saying it is the GOP not passing it and playing politics.
We need some people to be at his idiot speeches to address him and correct him on a lot of things.
The man is a complete embarrassment to the left and to think this corrupt media propped him up as if he was a king with the Rome pillars.
what's the betting he got F's while in his affirmative action college grades too.
"Brand new from Fox News tonight: A clear majority of voters (52/38) say that if Obama were CEO of a company, hed have been fired by now. I cant imagine why."
I don't know where they get these figures from; I know some former Obama supporters, and his approval rating HAS TO BE below 25%. If there was any truth to the smaller margin, he would NOT have produced such a string of failures at the ballot box, starting in NJ & MA in 2009 and continuing through the mid-term disaster right into the loss of Schumer's former House seat. If this is what is happening in states he WON, what is happening on the national level?
25% tops...
"A clear majority of voters (52/38) say that if Obama were CEO of a company, hed have been fired by now. I cant imagine why."
I would have fired him in the first week.... just for lying to me. But I would have never hired him in the first place.
Mention Obama's name to anyone I know or who lives anywhere near me and all you hear is profanity; 4-letter profanity. I'll let you use your imagination.
He's loathed and despised beyond words. His poll numbers have to be in the teens by now.
Have a GOP senator introduce it and let's see if Reid blocks it. As zero has said in the past "I don't want anyone to call MY bluff"
The oil-producing state senators dont like eliminating or reducing the subsidy for oil companies, Durbin said.
If the subsidies are gone or reduced the oil companies have to pay more of their own money to cover that expense. It's a tax increase.
Am I loony or reading that right?
Fired? What about arrested?
Gas prices are down 30 cents. Obama is playing the oil card.
By July next year, gas will be a buck fifty a gallon and the media is going to praise Obama for his work in taking on big oil and winning.
Everything else is just smoke.
What subsidy?
Without having heard Levin's take yet, I'll bet some of the no votes on this non-jobs "jobs" bill belong to:
Amy Klobuchar, Claire McCaskill, Jim Webb, Sherrod Brown, Sheldon Whitehouse, Ben Cardin, Jon Tester, and Bob Casey.
Trivia time: what do these eight people have in common?
"By July next year, gas will be a buck fifty a gallon and the media is going to praise Obama for his work in taking on big oil and winning."
Just how is FUBO going to accomplish that feat? If gas gets to $1.50 next summer, no one in the world is going to have a job because the only way oil goes down that much is if demand crashes.
Trivia time: what do these eight people have in common?
At first I thought that maybe they were all lawyers, but I think there's two or three on the list that aren't. I believe that they are more moderate demorcrates and know the impact of this piece of garbage.
Up for re election in tight races
"Hes loathed and despised beyond words. His poll numbers have to be in the teens by now."
I agree, and I live in an area he carried easily; the reaction is often the same, and NOBODY (except the public school teachers that weren't laid off) is better off than, or even in the same position as, three years ago.
The looting that has been going on should be just one of the reasons they should all be jailed!

2002 Baseball
all-hcac honorees
School record five players earn All-Heartland Conference honorsBy Greg Steiner, SID intern
May 13, 2002
Bluffton College senior Brad Buckingham (Geneva, Ind./South Adams H.S.) and sophomore Kyle Alberson (Geneva, Ind./South Adams H.S.) were named first team All-Heartland Collegiate Athletic Conference in baseball for their efforts during the 2002 season. A total of five players picked up All-HCAC honors, the most in Bluffton's four years in the conference, as the Beavers won a school record 11 HCAC games and finished fifth in the league.
Buckingham started 34 of the 36 games, most of which came in centerfield, and led the team in runs scored with 32 on the campaign. He finished second in eight offensive categories, which included batting average (.382), slugging percentage (.545), homeruns (3) and runs batted in (21). He also tied for the team lead with 47 hits on the year. Against HCAC opponents, Buckingham ranked among the league's leaders in average (.415 ranks 3rd), slugging percentage (.610 ranks 8th), runs scored (23 ranks 4th), hits (34 ranks 3rd), doubles (7 ranks 7th) and homeruns (3 is tied for 7th). Buckingham owns school records in hits with 166 and runs scored with 106 and was an honorable mention All-HCAC selection each of his first three seasons.
Alberson led the Beavers in eight offensive categories during the 2002 campaign. He played in all 36 games, starting 34 of them, and led the team in doubles (12), homeruns (7) and slugging percentage (.722), while batting .380 with 41 hits. In HCAC games he led the conference in doubles (10) and slugging percentage (.817) and was among the league leaders in average (.408 ranks 6th), runs batted in (26 ranks 4th), and homeruns (5 is tied for 3rd).
Honorable mention HCAC awards went to senior Todd Pickthorn, junior Wes Hall and sophomore Jim Dwenger. Pickthorn (Miamisburg/Miamisburg H.S.) batted .372 and collected 18 RBIs during conference play along with a slugging percentage of .526, which was fourth highest on the team. Hall (Lewiston/Indian Lake H.S.) had an ERA of 2.96 in 52.1 innings of work. Hall's ERA was the sixth lowest in the conference and all of his five wins came during conference action to go along with two saves. Dwenger (Minster/Minster H.S.) led the team in overall batting average this season at .398 and his .409 average in HCAC games was second on the squad and fifth in the HCAC, while his team-best .494 on base percentage ranked fourth in the HCAC.

The Editors of this newspaper are calling for the head of a local politician for an uncomfortable comment/joke with regard to a person living in the White House. Yet, here on the front page, a photo with two Popes during the elevation of two deceased Popes to Sainthood, Ms. Braun spells out the F bomb conveniently displayed right next to the Pope. Not hidden but purposely placed to offend and disgrace a photo the majority of their own readers revere. Where is the firing of Ms. Braun or the editor responsible for their bigotry?
Oh, the ranting of racism on a one-sided street. No stories of the knockout game, where gangs of black males seek weak individual whites to sucker punch hoping to inflict a devastating head trauma. No hate crimes unless a white strikes a black. Silence from our lofty liberals aloof to the one sided persecution of individuals who speak words liberals don't want spoken or thought. Dare these liberals print the First Amendment on this page while they remain silent to the destruction of religious liberty, thought control, and of course, a rush to judgment faster than in an Adolf Hitler courtroom.

Photo: Stallings and former coach Bobby Nichols celebrate one of Stallings' all-tournament performances. Nichols is one of three previous Tech golfers to play on the PGA Tour.
Clutch birdies on final two holes lift Stallings into PGA ranks
COOKEVILLE, Tenn. -- Scott Stallings spent his collegiate career following the advice of his coach, Bobby Nichols.
Now, thanks to critical birdies on the final two holes of play, the former Golden Eagle golf All-American is following in Nichols' footsteps, too.
Stallings, who reigned as one of the top golfers in the Ohio Valley Conference during his four-year playing career at Tennessee Tech, on Monday capped his rookie efforts by qualifying for the 2011 PGA Tour.
Stalling bogeyed the 16th hole Monday and was in jeopardy of not finishing in the Top 25 to earn his Q-card. He responded by sinking a lengthy birdie putt on the par-5 17th to create a little more breathing room. He hit his drive in the fairway on the par-4 18th and struck a 6-iron onto the final green. By scoring birdies on the 17th and 18th holes on the sixth and final round of the tournament, Stallings climbed into a tie for 11th place in the grueling, 108-hole tournament that featured 153 of the world's best golfers vying for 25 spots in the PGA field.
"To have the opportunity to play on the PGA Tour is something I've dreamed about since I was a little kid," Stallings told The Golf Channel. "To have the opportunity to go out and play with best players in world is something I'm very excited about."
A 2007 TTU graduate from Oak Ridge, Tenn., Stallings will become only the fourth player in Tech history to compete on the prestigious PGA Tour. He earned the chance Monday by finishing tied for 11th in the six-round PGA Tour Qualifying Tournament at the Orange County National Golf Center and Lodge.
Stallings joins Nichols, Bobby Greenwood and Jeff Sluman as former Golden Eagles to reach the PGA Tour. Nichols played his entire career at Tech, then returned to coach at his alma mater and was inducted into the TTU Sports Hall of Fame in 1990. Greenwood and Sluman each played their freshman season at Tech, Greenwood in 1958 before finishing up at West Texas State and Sluman in 1978 before playing his final three seasons at Florida State.
Stallings carded 26 birdies and 68 pars over the 108 holes of play in the six tournament rounds, and wound up at 12-under-par 417 for the entire tournament. He opened with a one-under 71 on the Crooked Cat Course, followed by an even-par 71 on the Panther Lake Course in the second round.
He made his move up the leaderbard on the next two rounds, beginning with a four-under 67 at the Panther Lake layout during his third round. Returning to Crooked Cat for the fourth round, Stallings caught fire and shot seven-under 65. Starting on the back nine, he ran off a string of four consecutive birdies on holes 14 through 17, then shot a bogey on 18 to make the turn at three-under. He then birdied the first three holes on the front nine, and added another on No. 7.
Back at Panther Lake for the fifth round, Stallings had three birdies on the back nine but wrapped up with four bogeys on the front for a one-over 72. Even with that, Stalling was at 13-under par heading into Monday's final round. He made the turn after the front nine at Crooked Cat at even par, then opened the back with a birdie on 10. He stayed at one-under until a bogey on 16. Birdies on the final two holes pushed him to one-under, as he closed at 12-under.
It was a story of redemption for Stallings, who missed his 2010 PGA Tour card by one stroke at last year's Q-School. Playing on the Nationwide Tour in 2010, Stallings played well. But he couldn't make the late-season push he needed to finish in the top 25 on the Tour money list and earn his way onto the PGA Tour.
Following Nichols into the PGA Tour is something that the legendary coach foresaw back in 2003 when Stallings was a freshman.
"It was at one of the Hall of Fame dinners and Coach Nichols came up and said 'when you leave here, you could be one of the best players to ever play for me at Tennessee Tech.' That kind of stuck with me. It meant a lot to me for him to say something like that," Stallings recalled when he was named Tech's Outstanding Male Athlete of 2007.
Nichols' intuition came true for Stallings who wrapped up the most glorious golf career in Tennessee Tech history.
Stallings twice earned Ohio Valley Conference Player of the Year honors, was named first-team all-conference and shot his way to a spot in the all-tournament team at the OVC Championships with a second-place tie.
Stallings set the bar pretty high for his final campaign at TTU after an unbelievably successful junior season. During the 2005-06 campaign, earning OVC Player of the Year and all-OVC honors while ranking first in the league in scoring average at 70.6. He earned seven all-tournament awards, including the OVC Tournament where he finished second overall. A three-time medalist, Stallings qualified for the NCAA Regional tournament in Orlando, Fla. and then qualified for the NCAA National Championships where he finished 23rd overall.
Stallings wrapped up his junior year being named honorable mention All-American by Golfweek.com and being ranked 84th in the nation.
When Stallings graduated in May 2007, he left with the school record for most all-tournament finishes (19) and most medalist honors (7).
"He really contributed a lot to our success. He was a great guy to have on the team. He's a hard worker and he was well-respected by all the OVC players and coaches," Nichols said at the time.
"I'm proud of everything I did at Tech," Stalling said. "I love Cookeville and I love Tech. It will always have a special place in my heart and I miss it a lot more than I thought it would."
"I think he's going to be successful on the PGA Tour. He has all the talent and he's a hard worker. His future is very, very bright," said Nichols, less than a year before passing away.

The aws-cli package works on Python versions:
- 2.6.5 and greater
- 2.7.x and greater
- 3.3.x and greater
We recommend that all customers regularly monitor the Amazon Web Services Security Bulletins website for any important security bulletins related to aws-cli.
The easiest way to install aws-cli is to use pip:
$ pip install awscli
or, if you are not installing in a virtualenv:
$ sudo pip install awscli
If you have the aws-cli installed and want to upgrade to the latest version you can run:
$ pip install --upgrade awscli
This will install the aws-cli package as well as all dependencies. You can also just download the tarball. Once you have the awscli directory structure on your workstation, you can just run:
$ cd <path_to_awscli> $ python setup.py install
If you want to run the develop branch of the CLI, see the "CLI Dev Version" section below.
CLI Releases
The release notes for the AWS CLI can be found here. You can also find a CHANGELOG in the github repo.
Command Completion
The aws-cli package includes a very useful command completion feature. This feature is not automatically installed so you need to configure it manually. To enable tab completion for bash use the built-in command complete:
$ complete -C aws_completer aws
For tcsh:
$ complete aws 'p/*/`aws_completer`/'
You should add this to your startup scripts to enable it for future sessions.
For zsh please refer to bin/aws_zsh_completer.sh. Source that file:
$ source bin/aws_zsh_completer.sh
For now the bash compatibility auto completion (bashcompinit) is used. For further details please refer to the top of bin/aws_zsh_completer.sh.
Getting Started
Before using aws-cli, you need to tell it about your AWS credentials. You can do this in several ways:
- Environment variables
- Config file
- IAM Role
To use environment variables, do the following:
$ export AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=<access_key> $ export AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=<secret_key>
To use a config file, create a configuration file like this:
[default] aws_access_key_id=<default access key> aws_secret_access_key=<default secret key> # Optional, to define default region for this profile. region=us-west-1 [profile testing] aws_access_key_id=<testing access key> aws_secret_access_key=<testing secret key> region=us-west-2
and place it in ~/.aws/config (or in %UserProfile%\.aws\config on Windows).
As you can see, you can have multiple profiles defined in this configuration file and specify which profile to use by using the --profile option. If no profile is specified the default profile is used. Except for the default profile, you must prefix each config section of a profile group with profile. For example, if you have a profile named "testing" the section header would be [profile testing].
If you wish to place the config file in a different location than the one specified above, you need to tell aws-cli where to find it. Do this by setting the appropriate environment variable:
$ export AWS_CONFIG_FILE=/path/to/config_file
The final option for credentials is highly recommended if you are using aws-cli on an EC2 instance. IAM Roles are a great way to have credentials installed automatically on your instance. If you are using IAM Roles, aws-cli will find them and use them automatically.
Other Configurable Variables
In addition to credentials, a number of other variables can be configured either with environment variables, configuration file entries or both. The following table documents these.
|Config Entry
|Environment Variable
|Default profile name
|Default AWS Region
|Alternate location of config
|Default output style
|AWS Access Key
|AWS Secret Key
|AWS Token (temp credentials)
If you get tired of specifying a --region option on the command line all of the time, you can specify a default region to use whenever no explicit --region option is included using the region variable. To specify this using an environment variable:
$ export AWS_DEFAULT_REGION=us-west-2
To include it in your config file:
[default] aws_access_key_id=<default access key> aws_secret_access_key=<default secret key> region=us-west-1 # This will be used as the default
Similarly, the profile variable can be used to specify which profile to use if one is not explicitly specified on the command line via the --profile option. To set this via environment variable:
$ export AWS_DEFAULT_PROFILE=testing
The profile variable can not be specified in the configuration file since it would have to be associated with a profile and would defeat the purpose.
Accessing Services With Global Endpoints
Some services, such as AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM), AWS Security Token Service (STS), and Amazon Simple Email Service (SES) have a single, global endpoint rather than different endpoints for each region.
To make access to these services simpler, aws-cli will automatically use the global endpoint unless you explicitly supply a region (using the --region option) or a profile (using the --profile option). Therefore, the following:
$ aws iam list-users
Will automatically use the global endpoint for the IAM service regardless of the value of the AWS_DEFAULT_REGION environment variable or the region variable specified in your profile.
JSON Parameter Input
Many options that need to be provided are simple string or numeric values. However, some operations require JSON data structures as input parameters either on the command line or in files.
For example, consider the command to authorize access to an EC2 security group. In this case, we will add ingress access to port 22 for all IP addresses:
$ aws ec2 authorize-security-group-ingress --group-name MySecurityGroup \ --ip-permissions '{"FromPort":22,"ToPort":22,"IpProtocol":"tcp","IpRanges":[{"CidrIp": "0.0.0.0/0"}]}'
File-based Parameter Input
Some parameter values are so large or so complex that it would be easier to place the parameter value in a file and refer to that file rather than entering the value directly on the command line.
Let's use the authorize-security-group-ingress command shown above. Rather than provide the value of the --ip-permissions parameter directly in the command, you could first store the values in a file. Let's call the file ip_perms.json:
{"FromPort":22, "ToPort":22, "IpProtocol":"tcp", "IpRanges":[{"CidrIp":"0.0.0.0/0"}]}
Then, we could make the same call as above like this:
$ aws ec2 authorize-security-group-ingress --group-name MySecurityGroup \ --ip-permissions file://ip_perms.json
The file:// prefix on the parameter value signals that the parameter value is actually a reference to a file that contains the actual parameter value. aws-cli will open the file, read the value and pass use that value as the parameter value.
This is also useful when the parameter is really referring to file-based data. For example, the --user-data option of the aws ec2 run-instances command or the --public-key-material parameter of the aws ec2 import-key-pair command.
URI-based Parameter Input
Similar to the file-based input described above, aws-cli also includes a way to use data from a URI as the value of a parameter. The idea is exactly the same except the prefix used is https:// or http://:
$ aws ec2 authorize-security-group-ingress --group-name MySecurityGroup \ --ip-permissions http://mybucket.s3.amazonaws.com/ip_perms.json
Command Output
The default output for commands is currently JSON. This may change in the future but for now it provides the most complete output. You may find the jq tool useful in processing the JSON output for other uses.
There is also an ASCII table format available. You can select this style with the --output option or you can make this style your default output style via environment variable or config file entry as described above.
CLI Dev Version
If you are just interested in using the latest released version of the AWS CLI, please see the "Installation" section above. This section is for anyone that wants to install the development version of the CLI. You normally would not need to do this unless:
- You are developing a feature for the CLI and plan on submitting a Pull Request.
- You want to test the latest changes of the CLI before they make it into an official release.
The latest changes to the CLI are in the develop branch on github. This is the default branch when you clone the git repository.
Additionally, there are several other packages that are developed in tandem with the CLI. This includes:
If you just want to install a snapshot of the latest development version of the CLI, you can use the requirements.txt file included in this repo. This file points to the development version of the above packages:
cd <path_to_awscli> pip install -r requirements.txt pip install -e .
However, to keep up to date, you will continually have to run the pip install -r requirements.txt file to pull in the latest changes from the develop branches of botocore, bcdoc, etc.
You can optionally clone each of those repositories and run "pip install -e ." for each repository:
git clone <jmespath> && cd jmespath/ pip install -e . && cd .. git clone <bcdoc> && cd bcdoc/ pip install -e . && cd .. git clone <botocore> && cd botocore/ pip install -e . && cd .. git clone <awscli> && cd aws-cli/ pip install -e .

2013 Wyo. Hunting Booklet Now Only Online
CHEYENNE, Wyo. (AP) — The Wyoming Game and Fish Department is no longer printing its hunting information and application booklet.
Instead, the booklet will now be made available only online at http://wgfd.wyo.gov .
The booklet in the past has been mailed to nonresident hunters and provided to resident hunters at department offices and license agents.
Game and Fish license section manager Jean Cole says as online applications for big game and turkey licenses grow in popularity among hunters, the printed application booklet was losing importance and becoming a needless expense.
This year, 90 percent of nonresidents and 83 percent of residents used online applications for big game and turkey.
