Catherine from Delaware writes "Is it difficult to hook up something like Hulu via computer to TV. I am a novice at 80 and was wondering if I could do it?"
Hi, Catherine. Thanks for the great question.
For those who don't know, Hulu is one of many great video on demand services including Netflix, and Amazon Video.
Probably the easiest way to do this is to connect your computer to your TV. If you search our website's archives, you'll find lots of good articles on this, but this is the short version: if your computer has an HDMI output and you have a high-def TV, simply hook an HDMI cable from your computer to your TV and enjoy. If you have a laptop, make sure that your laptop is set so that the computer doesn't go to sleep when you close the lid. That way you can have your laptop closed so that you don't have your video running on two screens.
If your computer doesn't have an HDMI output, there are some other ways.
First off… and I'm just guessing here… but I'm thinking that you probably don't have a Playstation 3 or Xbox 360, but you can also use apps on both of these systems to stream all of these services through the gaming console onto your TV. If you don't have one of these and want to go this route, you can expect price drops on both of these systems since the introduction of the Playstation 4 and Xbox One.
There are also stand-alone boxes that you can use to stream these services to your TV, such as Google TV and Roku.
You can expect to pay anywhere from $50 to about $150 for one of these devices, depending on how many bells and whistles you want. For example, some of the Roku boxes allow you to play one or the other versions of Angry Birds, and the Roku 3 has a headphone jack in the remote so that you can watch your TV shows without disturbing others.
I hope that this helps!

C'mon, Monday morning can hit you like a wet towel across your face when you thought you were getting a hug. I am always behind the eight ball on Monday mornings. It's post weekend, it's back to school and work and it's also after one of the crowded house nights in our home. And I don't mean the '80's band (though let me say that their hit "don't dream that it's over" is a big fave of mine and yes, always makes me think of the Sheena Easton/ Don Johnson romance on Miami Vice).
So, Espresso should help, right? As I consume ever more amounts, as the mother of a toddler who still can wake up at night, sometimes I exhibit symptoms similar to Parkinson diesease.
But, I keep going back to the same cure.

Though it wreaked havoc on the housing market and could lead to a recession, the subprime credit crisis has had at least one benefit: It fueled investment in infrastructure.
Through November, according to international financial-information provider Thomson Financial, state and local governments had issued $406 billion in bonds, a 13% increase over 2006 and an all-time record high. While some of that largesse was earmarked for prisons, schools, and other public buildings, some of it financed major upgrades or new infrastructure.
Coming into 2008, all signs pointed to this trend continuing, albeit more slowly. The construction-management consulting firm FMI Corp., for example, expects nonresidential construction to increase 5% this year and 4% in 2009.
Our annual survey of public works budget expectations mirrors these expectations: Respondents plan to maintain 2007's level of investment in capital improvements. Assuming continuing financial turmoil doesn't raise interest rates on municipal bonds, making it more difficult for cities and counties to raise funds, that means more new or improved sewage and drinking water plants and roads. But it doesn't translate to an increase where it really counts: caring for those assets from day to day.
And that's where the surprise lies: More respondents are receiving more money for maintenance than they did in 2007, with one-third reporting budget increases of 3% to 5%. While it's not the $1.7 billion the American Society of Civil Engineers says is required to bring the nation's infrastructure up to grade, communities are allocating more resources to their single largest investment.
The increase may be due to catastrophic failures like last year's steam pipe explosion in New York City, which killed one person, and the bridge collapse in Minneapolis, which claimed 13 lives. Such tragedies make infrastructure, at least temporarily, as important a funding priority as schools, fire, and police. Or it may be attributed to the need to collect asset information for federal GASB-34 financial-reporting requirements.
Or could it be that the ability to show the true cost of doing business is finally paying off for the departments that have implemented asset-management systems?
Though we didn't specifically ask, we were struck by the number of respondents who plan to deploy such software.
"2008 will be the implementation year of new technological systems for asset management and work management systems," Ed Kovacs, PE, transportation and public works commission for Cambridge, Ontario, one of Canada's fastest growing cities, wrote. "Integrating the two systems will open up avenues for improved efficiencies and enhanced levels of service."
"I'll be implementing an automated work management plan, thus increasing accountability and productivity," wrote Andrew Bullington, public works director for Stanwood, Wash., whose service area included the island of Camano.
Andre Williams, an engineer in the permits division of Richmond, Va., looks forward to the citywide implementation of software to track requests, complaints, responses, and workload. "Hopefully, this will show lack of resources," he wrote.

National organization calls for end to invasive TSA screening methods
November 24, 2010
Jessica Cavey, Communications Specialist
877-739-3895 ext 119
National Sexual Violence Resource Center
For Immediate Release
National organization calls for end to invasive TSA screening methods
ENOLA, PA – The National Sexual Violence Resource Center is urging the Transportation Safety Administration to stop invasive new screening procedures. The security measures mandated by the TSA include invasive procedures that have caused some survivors of sexual violence to be traumatized. These procedures can violate an individual's feelings of personal safety and security.
"The National Sexual Violence Resource Center understands the need for national security," said National Sexual Violence Resource Center and Pennsylvania Coalition Against Rape CEO Delilah Rumburg. "However, we believe that our national security mechanisms should not cause thousands of travelers to relive or experience sexual trauma. In a culture wherein we encourage our children and fellow citizens to speak up if anyone touches them in an inappropriate manner, we want to encourage a society where feeling safe also includes mutual respect and dignity. That is why we urge the TSA to stop using these invasive procedures immediately."
TSA's current policy, involving full-body scans and pat-downs, leaves little option for individuals who travel via air. Sexual assault survivors in particular may experience severe panic, anxiety, stress and confusion because of events of prior victimization. Some examples include:
- Feelings of re-victimization due to being touched by a stranger.
- The full-body scanner may cause strong reactions for adult and child sexual assault survivors whose assault/attack included photographs of them being taken and/or shared.
- Pat-downs administered by someone of the same gender may be difficult for adults and children whose perpetrators were of the same gender.
- Distressing emotional reactions may result for parent/caregiver survivors of child sexual assault after witnessing their children being patted down or required to submit to a full-body scan.
Current TSA policy states if travelers use airports that utilize the new security measures, they must comply with either a full-body scan or an enhanced pat-down, or they will be unable to continue with their travel plans and may face a civil suit with fines upwards of $11,000.
These screening policies must change. A balance must be reached between security procedures and respect for survivors.
The NSVRC highlights prevention initiatives throughout the country and facilitates connections between anti-sexual violence advocates while offering training and technical assistance, referrals, consultation, systems advocacy, online tools and library resources. For more information, visit www.nsvrc.org or call 877-739-3895.

Discussion in 'April 2007' started by mercury, Apr 8, 2007.
@ The Palace 8:00 PM FSN Detroit, ESPN A likely 1st round opponent... a game full of sidebars
Re: Orlando April 11th What a fun series that would be. Probably more competitive than people think. I can almost hear the banter now!
Re: Orlando April 11th Sidebar #1 If Indiana gains just one game over the Magic before the playoffs that could make our pick # 12 instead of #15 (currently)... by being out of the playoffs they would pick ahead of Golden State, New Orleans & Atlanta ( Atlanta owns the Pacers pick). This one game on Wednesday could have a long term effect. A new fondness of the Pacers
Re: Orlando April 11th Sidebar #2 As DRE pointed out the "Magic" number is 2... maybe wrap up HCA Wednesday and start the bench observations (Amir?)
Re: Orlando April 11th The Magic had 15 dunks against Memphis yesterday! Dwight Howard was +39 on the night (+21 in the 1st quarter)! I have no real point. Just eye popping stats in a blow-out. Indiana making the playoffs would be be hilarious. We will have the honor of putting the final nail in their coffin before things get real ugly over there.
Orlando April 11 8PM Orlando April 11 8PM tv: FSN/ESPN Last game of the seasonal series as the Pistons try for a sweep over a potential 1st round matchup.
Re: Orlando April 11 8PM Time to give the starters a rest. Nobody plays for more than 22 minutes......
Gotta pin a loss on the Magic. It could mean the difference between picking 12th and 15th in the draft. I amost wish we could go back and lose a game to Indiana in order to help our draft position.
If the Magic are indeed the Pistons first round opponent, do not give them any false hope that they can beat us or they can even steal one game in the post season. On the other hand, don't show them all of your cards either.
Magic had 16 dunks last night. Howard-5, Milicic-3, Ariza-3, Battie-3, Dooling-1, and Turk-1. 32 points in the paint right there. Again, my only point is that they dunk the ball a lot. In comparison, even with all the posterizations going down, the Pistons only had 6. So, what's the key to beating the Magic? Foul the bejeezus out of Dwight Howard. Sounds like a job for Dale Davis.
Darko had 3 blocks, but how many other dunks did he have blocked by the rim?
Darko is shooting well over 50 per cent on his dunks. When he goes up for a dunk now, more often than not he might make it. The ones he misses are usually very close to going in.
He only had 1 block, but had a rare 100% shooting night. 32 Darko points in only 24 minutes of action. Also, just to clarify, Darko is converting 96% of his dunks. Darko Milicic of the Orlando Magic, NBA player stats and data from 82games.com Dwight Howard is at 93%. Sheed = 92%. JMax = 80%.
I meant dunk, not block. I'm not feeling myself today. Low blood pressure in my legs.
Dunks...blocks...same difference...when it comes to Darko... just being close counts.
Yeah...that was just off the top of my head but I knew he was over 50 %.....
It's also a little interesting that Darko has not been blocked on a single dunk attempt yet this year... yet y'all are joking about it. Dwight Howard and Sheed have been blocked on 3% of their attempts. I'm telling ya, the only reason I get caught up defending this guy is because of all the bad stats that get thrown out there by people making fun of him.
That's ironic because I get caught up in all of the bad stats defending him. lol I don't think 82games tracks blocks by the rim, so I would question those #s TaS.
Where do they track them? By the 3-point line? And who has more dunks this year, Sheed or Darko? That's right, although Sheed has played 28% more minutes, he has 20% less dunks. I'm just a little disgruntled still that our bust is providing more muscle (dunks, points in the paint, rebounding, and blocks) than our All Star PF. Sheed better flip the switch in the Playoffs, that's all I'm saying.
I feel ya bro.
Separate names with a comma.


text: Suppose you were named the new GM by Mr. Gores and he said that you get to keep any 5 Pistons from the current roster and the other 10 guys will be gone. Which 5 are you keeping? Bynum, Daye, Gordon, Hamilton, Jerebko, Maxiel, McGrady, Monroe, Prince, Stuckey, Summers, Villanueva, Wallace, White, Wilcox No conditions, constraints, or explanations necessary. Just list five guys.


text: The Sigma not having a manual safety wasn't a concern for me. With the trigger safety and a pull weight between 8 and 12 pounds, it's not gonna go BOOM unless you want it to. Try to shoot one before you buy. I hated the trigger and needed some quick cash. Can you guess what I sold?

text: President addresses the most important audience of all: the children of America Statement by MTA President Anne Wass on President Obama's Back to School Speech on September 8, 2009 President Barack Obama's speech to school children contains compelling and non-partisan messages urging students to work hard, respect their parents and teachers, stay in school and pursue their dreams. Complaints from a few extremists that the speech seeks to indoctrinate children with a "socialist" message are completely unfounded, as any reading of the text reveals. We hope that schools will make the speech available to students either as it is broadcast live or later in recorded and written form. Early in the speech the president discusses the responsibilities of others for making sure students receive a quality education: the government, teachers and parents. Very quickly, however, he focuses on the responsibility that all students share in making the most of their own education. He states: "But at the end of the day, we can have the most dedicated teachers, the most supportive parents, and the best schools in the world -- and none of it will matter unless all of you fulfill your responsibilities. Unless you show up to those schools; pay attention to those teachers; listen to your parents, grandparents and other adults; and put in the hard work it takes to succeed." The president humanizes his advice by describing his own struggles growing up in a single-parent household where lack of money was often a problem. He acknowledges that many students have much harder circumstances than he did. He describes three students in particular who overcame poverty, disease and neglect to succeed. He says: "They faced challenges in their lives just like you do. But they refused to give up. They chose to take responsibility for their education and set goals for themselves. And I expect all of you to do the same. That's why today, I'm calling on each of you to set your own goals for your education -- and to do everything you can to meet them." These are very important messages for students today. While many, many students do work hard and excel despite significant challenges, others have responded to messages in the media and their communities that encourage them to take the easy way out. They see certain Wall Street investors and drug dealers alike getting rich through dishonesty and deception and they see images of certain rock stars, movie stars or athletes who seem to have it all without appearing to work hard. The president's speech is advising them to follow a different path, a path in which they are true to themselves and of service to their communities. This message is not left or right, Democrat or Republican, it is simply honest and wise. We are saddened to know that in some communities across the country children will be deprived of hearing this message because of the extremist ideology of certain adults. We can only hope that children who are not allowed to hear the speech in school will find a way to listen to it or read it at home because the themes are universal. A president is not supposed to simply be a technician "fixing" the economy and other problems. He or she is also supposed to provide moral leadership for the country. Not moralizing. Not proselytizing. But speaking the truths that our founders would have described as "self-evident." We applaud the president for taking on this leadership role before the most important audience of all: the children of America. White House Web site

Blue Hens Stay Unbeaten in CAA Play, Capture Fifth Straight Win with 76-71 Victory Over William & Mary
NEWARK, Del. -- The University of Delaware men's basketball squad remained unbeaten in Colonial Athletic Association play Wednesday night as Devon Saddler scored 21 of his game-high 26 points in the second half and fellow senior Davon Usher (at left) knocked down 15 of his 21 points in the opening stanza to lead the Blue Hens to a 76-71 victory over William & Mary at the Bob Carpenter Center.
Delaware (11-7, 3-0 CAA) remained atop the CAA standings as the Blue Hens won their fifth straight game overall, their fifth straight game at home, and their fifth straight over William & Mary. The Hens are now off to a 3-0 start in league play for the second straight year.
The Tribe (9-6, 1-1 CAA) had a three-game win streak snapped as they squandered a 13-point first half lead as Delaware rallied in the second half.
Jarvis Threatt (below right), who was honored before the game for scoring his 1,000th point earlier this year, added 15 points, six rebounds, and six assists while Carl Baptiste, who was nursing an ankle injury suffered in the win over James Madison Saturday, added six points and eight rebounds off the bench. Saddler, Usher, and Kyle Anderson each pulled down six boards on the night.
Saddler surpassed the 1,900-point mark for his career during the game while Usher, who connected on 5 of 8 three-point attempts, posted his seventh 20-point game of the season and Threatt reached double figures in scoring for the fifth straight outing.
"I thought it was a phenomenal effort by our guys in the second half, both offensively and defensively," said Delaware head coach Monté Ross. "William & Mary is a quality team and to be able to come back on them makes me very proud of our guys. I thought Jarvis Threatt's defensive effort on Marcus Thornton (seven turnovers and 3 of 12 shooting from the field) was as good as I've seen since he got here. Carl (Baptiste) was limited in practice Tuesday but did a great job rebounding inside."
William & Mary placed five scorers in double figures as Tim Rusthoven led the way with 13 points and seven rebounds, Brandon Britt added 12 points off the bench, and Thornton, Terry Tarpey, and Omar Prewitt each contributed 10 points with Tarpey also pulling down 10 rebounds and dishing a team-high four assists.
Prewitt, one of the CAA's top freshmen this season, managed to hit just 1 of 7 three-point attempts as the Tribe went just 9 of 26 for the game from beyond the arc.
Delaware trailed the entire first half and was down by as many as 13 points at 34-21 with 3:27 left in the opening stanza before outscoring the Tribe 11-4 down the stretch to narrow the margin at the break to 38-32.
The Blue Hens kept the momentum up and eventually tied the game at 41-41 with 15:04 left to play. The game would be tied three more times before a three-pointer by Usher with 9:29 left gave the Hens the lead for good at 56-54.
William & Mary pulled to within three points several times the rest of the way but could never regain the lead. Two free throws by Prewitt with 3:09 left cut the Delaware lead to 66-62, but Saddler knocked down all eight of his free throws the rest of the way to ice the game.
Delaware will look to remain unbeaten in league play when the Blue Hens travel to Northeastern Sunday for a 12 noon tip in Boston.

The Sugar House Streetcar is set to debut Dec. 8 from the TRAX line at 200 West and 2100 South to McClelland Avenue in Sugar House but the plan to extend the line north on 1100 East is anything but certain.
Two women elected to the Salt Lake City Council last week said the discussion of the controversial 1100 East plan is not over.
In May, the council voted in favor of a second phase alignment from 2100 South north on 1100 East to 1700 South by a split 4-3 vote. A new council could potentially change that.
Erin Mendenhall and Lisa Ramsey Adams will take office in January. They will replace Jill Remington Love, who supported the 1100 East extension, and Soren Simonsen, who did not.
"My concerns are less about the placement than about the lack of public support," Mendenhall said in a recent interview. "If we don't have public support, I don't know how we'll get funding."
Adams said during the fall campaign she found only one person in Sugar House's District 7 who supported the 1100 East alignment.
"A lot of people feel they weren't heard," Adams said Thursday. "I think it has to be revisited."
James Rogers, who was elected to fill the west-side District 1 seat of retiring Councilman Carlton Christensen who did favor 1100 East said he would have to study the proposed alignment further before weighing in.
Among her concerns, Mendenhall said, is the apparent lack of communication between the City Council and the administration of Mayor Ralph Becker. The council moved quickly to approve Becker's proposed 1100 East alignment because it believed the administration needed a "preferred route" in order to apply for a federal Transportation Investment Generating Economic Recovery (TIGER) grant by June 30.
The consulting firm of Fehr & Peers had earlier identified 1100 East as its preferred route.
When the June 30 deadline passed, however, a spokesman for the mayor said it was never the intention of the administration to apply for federal funding in 2013. Rather, it will apply next year.
Construction costs of Phase 1 from 200 West to Sugar House what UTA calls the "S Line" carries a $37 million price tag. Of that, $26 million came from a federal TIGER grant.
Salt Lake City, South Salt Lake and the Utah Transit Authority kicked in the additional $11 million.
The planned extension along 1100 East from 2100 South to 1700 South would cost about $15.8 million, according to preliminary estimates.
That is in addition to the estimated $12.1 million it would cost to extend the streetcar line from its McClelland Avenue terminus to Highland Drive and then north to 2100 South.
Mendenhall said that even if Salt Lake City is successful in capturing a federal TIGER grant for that route, it most likely would need additional funding from local taxpayers to build it.
"I will raise the question of local funding … and work to embrace the conversation with the council and the community," she said.
Chairman Kyle LaMalfa said he, too, believes the 1100 East alignment will come up in City Council discussions.
But he continues to support the route and said that when Phase 1 opens next month, residents who now oppose the 1100 East route could have a change of heart when they see how well it works.
Mass transit will transform Sugar House into the "other downtown," LaMalfa said one that is friendly to pedestrians and bicycles and less congested for motorists.
Sugar House resident Lori Leighton, who co-owns Boxing Is For Girls fitness center at 1983 S. 1100 East, said the proposed 1100 East alignment has virtually no support in the neighborhood.
Leighton, who along with business partner Eliza James led community protests against the route, said small businesses along narrow 1100 East would be decimated during many months of construction because customers would be unable to access them.
"This issue is not at all dead. People are talking about it," Leighton said. "We are fighting it still."


text: I don't know what you have your bee hive sitting on, but if the ants stay persistant, you can try what someone here taught me. Take a piece of plywood and paint one side with vaseline. Put the plywood, vaseline side down, on whatever stand you are using and place your hive on the top (the dry side). The plywood acts as additional landing space for the bees, but the ants have to crawl through the vaseline coming or going and get stuck. It worked for me and got any action happening up at the hive level shut down pretty quick. Good luck!

Derek Sivers:
Keep your goals to yourself
After hitting on a brilliant new life plan, our first instinct is to tell someone, but Derek Sivers says it's better to keep goals secret. He presents research stretching as far back as the 1920s to show why people who talk about their ambitions may be less likely to achieve them.

As long as you move it at night, there should be no need to put anything in front of the entrance to make it look different.
Yeah, look different, re-orient... same thing. Do it at night and you shouldn't have to do that.
I'll let you know what I did after considering all the advice and let you know how bad I screw up or not....
If you have an alternate place to move them to for a few days ( a mile or so away) ----- do that, then move them back to where you want. A little more trouble but definitely works.
Annette, jp is definitely right. Make them wonder where the heck they are when they leave first thing in the morning. If they don't set the gyros when they leave, it will take them a few hours to get it right. Was kind of odd. After a while they would still fly to the old location, verify the hive still wasn't there and then buzz straight over to the new location. Almost like they had to go from point A to point B to then go to point C. They're certainly crazy bugs. JOHN
I just changed the entrance restricter which is offset to one side or the other. They were coming and going toward the left, flipped it around and they were still landing toward the left and marching about 3, 4 inches to the entrance to the right. Some would butt into the cleat, buzz around and find the entrance to the right. Some kinda GPS they got. JOHN

The long view to success
Hugh Sutcliffe, Managing Partner for Brookfield Asset Management talks about the long view to success, a case study in transformation.
Climate change and the forest and paper industry
Bjorn Stigson, President of the World Business Council for Sustainable Development talks about the role of business in a future world that will be seriously resource constrained.
Innovation as a competitive advantage
Chaovalit Ekabut, President of Thailand's SCG Paper Company, explains why a green approach to the creation of new forest and paper products may provide the keys to sustainable, future growth for the industry.
Looking for the upswing: economic indicators and outlook
The Great Recession isn't over, and the world's economies are recovering at surprisingly different rates. However, for the forest and paper industry to grow, says Doug Porter of BMO Capital Markets, China and India are the places to expand into.
Carbon trading and the forest and paper industry
D. Scott MacDonald, CEO of Pacific Carbon Trust, explains why those Forest and Paper companies that are willing take a stab at the carbon markets now will benefit enormously when a cap and trade system is finally established.
New value from old forests
Gunnar Olofsson, President and CEO, Sveaskog - Sweden's largest forest owner and leading supplier of timber and pulpwood - talks about the ways his company is developing new forestry products such as biofuels, and what that might mean for the future of the sector as a whole.
Normalising supply and demand
The last four years have been the worst for the forest and paper industry since the Depressions, says Hank Ketcham, CEO of West Fraser Timber, who goes on to discuss some of the forces now facing the sector, such as the poor state of the construction industry, oversupply and currency rates.
The future of the Forest and Paper industry in China
Kurt Schaefer, Vice-President of Fiber RISI, talks about the future of the paper industry in China, how it is views itself in the world market (not, surprisingly, as an exporter) and, in particular, its long-term commitment to making the country self-sufficient when it comes to Forest and Paper products.
Why business transformation isn't an option. It's a necessity
Paul Dodge, Senior Vice-President, ProBuild Holdings, talks about the steps his company has taken to ensure its future, including new approaches to capital management consolidation, right-sizing of markets, cutting overhead, and introducing more a efficient, just-in- time supply chain.

100 songs that changed history
Time Out explores the music that changed the course of world events
Breakdown of the songs that changed history
'Razom Nas Bahato' – GreenJollyChosen by Matthew Collin, journalist and author of 'This is Serbia Calling' and 'Altered State'
Matthew says: 'In the early 1990s, a wave of democratic revolutions swept across eastern Europe again, but this time, savvy young activists were using the power of rock music to fuel movements aimed at overthrowing repressive governments. "Razom Nas Bahato" ("Together We are Many!") was a rudimentary hip-hop stomp that became the theme tune of Ukraine's Orange Revolution in 2004 – a piece of shouty propaganda that helped keep demonstrators dancing on the streets day and night amid subzero temperatures in the snowbound capital Kiev until they managed to overturn the results of faked elections.'
'American Skin (41 Shots)' – Bruce Springsteen (2000)
Previewed live in Atlanta in June 2000, this then-unreleased song makes specific and powerfully direct reference to the killing by four NYPD officers of an unarmed 23-year-old Guinean immigrant, Amadou Diallo, in 1999. The performance prefaced Springsteen's ten-date run in Madison Square Garden, and before even hearing it, the head of the NYC Patrolmen's Benevolent Association called on the city's 27,000 cops to boycott the shows by refusing to work as security guards. NYC Police Commissioner Howard Safir supported the boycott, while Mayor Giuliani complained that 'there are still people trying to create the impression that the police officers are guilty.' Of course, Springsteen added the song to his MSG set.
'The Rite of Spring' – Igor Stravinsky (1913)
Stravinsky wrote this piece of music for a ballet he helped compose with producer Sergei Diaghilev at the turn of the twentieth century. When it was premiered on May 29 1913 in Paris, it prompted one of the most famous classical music riots in history. The choreography was violent and the music complex – something that was vastly different to the elegance audiences were used to in ballets at the time. Members of the crowd began heckling, which caused fights between them and the fans and led to rioting in the aisles. It's difficult to imagine that a piece of music can cause such distress, but something similar happened in 1973 during Steve Reich's performance of 'Four Organs' at Carnegie Hall in New York, which caused such despair that one woman repeatedly banged her head on the stage requesting they stop.
'Stand Down Margaret' – The Beat (1980)
Of the seemingly endless reasons to find Margaret Thatcher loathsome, her decision to quote St. Francis of Assisi on the morning of her election in 1979 stands out. Handed the quote by her speechwriter in the early hours of the morning, she parroted 'The Prayer of St. Francis' outside Number Ten, pledging 'where there is discord, let us bring harmony'. Almost a year to the day later, Birmingham 2-Toners The Beat were the first band to call her out. They saw 'no chance of your bright new tomorrow' and knew 'love and unity' were 'the only way'. In doing so, The Beat blazed a trail for a generation of musicians who would all try and put dents in the Iron Lady.
'Glad To Be Gay' – The Tom Robinson Band (1978)
Eschewing camp, fabulousness and torch-song lament in favour of sheer, unadulterated bile, this singular gay anthem is an angry reflection of late '70s homophobia, shot through the prism of punk. Save for the rousing chorus, everything it depicts is murky and rotten – evoked perfectly by the downbeat, Kinks-ish melody. The police raid gay pubs for no reason. 'Gay News' gets prosecuted for obscenity while 'Playboy' and 'The Sun' don't. The papers are free to call gay men child molesters. As attitudes changed, Robinson adapted the song over time to address Aids and his own developing sexuality. But the chorus thankfully never changed.
'The Byzantine Acclamation' – Traditional (fifth century)Chosen by Bettany Hughes, research fellow at King's College London, fellow Of the Historical Association, New York Times bestselling author and TV/radio broadcaster
Bettany says: 'Back in fifth century Byzantium – known as Istanbul today – you had the first combination of church and state. And in order for the crowning ceremony of the emperor and empress to be considered complete, there had to be this sung acclamation from all the Byzantine priests, which effectively said: "God has given you the right to have power over us." It changed history because it was the first attempt by a monarch to claim that they had a divine right to rule. And for the next fifteen hundred years, virtually every other ruler followed suit. If you think about world history, it's been the way it has because it was ruled by monarchs who said they had the right to rule because God gave it to them.'
'Under My Thumb' – The Rolling Stones (1969)
Mick Jagger had boasted that 1969's Altamont Free Concert would 'set an example to America as to how one can behave in large gatherings'. Fat chance. Altamont was the violent and chaotic inverse of Woodstock. On one hand, a low stage meant Hells Angels were paid in beer to sit and guard it all day. On the other, a flood of LSD and amphetamines passed among the 300,000-strong crowd, making them increasingly restless and aggressive. The two came together in the worst way when, during 'Under My Thumb', 18-year-old Meredith Hunter, high on methamphetamine, violently tried to rush the stage brandishing a gun, only to be met by Hells Angel Alan Passaro and his knife. Hunter died on the scene, and with him, history added a full stop to the hippie dream.
'Bonny Bunch of Roses' – Traditional (1815)
History, they say, is written by the victors. But sometimes cultural fossils of Darwinism's losers remain. Although the Battle Of Waterloo is generally considered to be a great British military victory, 'Bonny Bunch of Roses' suggests the news may not have been universally well-received in this country at the time. Indeed, this was just one of several subtly coded ('bonny' being a nickname for Bonaparte) pro-Napoleonic folk standards. It suggests that, as the nation's political and military leaders were uniformly drawn from the ruling classes, many of the poor viewed Napoleon as a liberator who would free them from the misery of aristocratic oppression. Oh well.
'Headless Heroes' – Eugene McDaniels (1971)
Although little known outside funk-nerd circles these days, in his '60s pomp, righteously indignant psychedelic soul-jazz singer McDaniels had the ear of some very important people. One of these was Richard Nixon's notoriously truculent Vice President, Spiro Agnew, who was so incensed by the overtly political lyrics of McDaniels's second album, 'Headless Heroes of the Apocalypse', that he personally called the board of Atlantic records to demand it be withdrawn from sale. It was. McDaniels never released another record.
'Peremen!' – KinoChosen by Matthew Collin, journalist and author of 'This is Serbia Calling' and 'Altered State'
Matthew says: 'Leningrad rocker Viktor Tsoi and his band Kino brought dissident spirit and lyrical invention to Soviet pop in the pre-glasnost era. Tsoi, who died in a car crash in 1990 at the age of 28, was an anti-establishment icon in a time and place where it was genuinely risky to be one. His song "Peremen!" ("Changes!") was a post-punk anthem for disaffected Soviet youth that continues to have an impact long after his death: this year it was banned by the dictatorship in Belarus after being played regularly by pro-democracy protesters.'

Be sure to check it out. It has tons of great photos and information
about myself, prop building, artwork and my involvement with the 501st.
I am a graphic artist and I would like one day to be able to work from home.
Hopefully this website is a step in the right direction.
I also plan to add extra info every month like photos and small tutorials.
I can also on keeping people updated on my future projects (a Episode 2 ARC Trooper is my next project!).
I am also launching the debut of my Clonetrooper Tutorial Kit.
I notice a while back that people were in need of a Clonetrooper tutorial. I have put together a great kit filled with tons of great info, artwork, photos, templates, and a complete checklist.
Also included with the kit is three sheets of plastic, two sheets of film accetate, one pieces of sticky back foam and one piece of heavy duty black mesh. All of these items I used when I built my suit.
Check it out and let me know what you think.
Thanks, Darren

ABC claims Michelle Obama's remarks about 'automatic weapons' cut for time
By Scott Whitlock
Published February 27, 2013
- http://global.fncstatic.com/static/v...verlay-118.pnghttp://global.fncstatic.com/static/m...een_022713.jpg
Editor's note: the following commentary originally appeared on the NewsBusters http://global.fncstatic.com/static/v...ernal-link.pngblog.
Tuesday ABC's "Good Morning America" edited out an inaccurate assertion by First Lady Michelle Obama that the gunman in a Chicago killing used an "automatic weapon."
Regarding the death of teenager Hadiya Pendelton, Mrs. Obama asserted, "And she was caught in the line of fire because some kids had some automatic weapons they didn't need." This quote appeared online, but not in the February 26 interview with Robin Roberts that aired on the network.
The Chicago Tribune explainedhttp://global.fncstatic.com/static/v...ernal-link.png, "...a day after her homicide on Jan. 29, Chicago police Superintendent Garry McCarthy said the gunman possibly used a revolver because no bullet casings were found at the shooting scene as there would be if a semi-automatic or automatic weapon had been used."
No ABC show on Tuesday or Wednesday, offered an explanation as to why the network helpfully covered up for the first lady's error.
On "World News," a snippet of the interview was played, but only Mrs. Obama talking about when her teenage daughters might start dating.
"Nightline" skipped the interview completely.
On Wednesday, GMA made no mention of the controversy.
ABC did offer a statement to the website Mediaitehttp://global.fncstatic.com/static/v...ernal-link.png: "The full story was posted to our website in advance of the interview being broadcast. The edits made to Robins interview with the First Lady were made 'solely for time.http://global.fncstatic.com/static/v...ernal-link.png'"
Such a statement laughably ignores the fact that GMA featured the first lady for two segments totaling eight and a half minutes. The second segment featured Mrs. Obama cooking. Yet, it was the seven (or so) seconds in which the first lady made a newsworthy gaffe that had to go?
The Washington Times's Emily Miller explainedhttp://global.fncstatic.com/static/v...ernal-link.png how ABC deceptively edited the segment:
The transcript of the interview, which was taped on Friday, February 22, shows that Mrs. Obama said this of Miss Pendleton (italics mine):
"She was standing out in a park with her friends in a neighborhood blocks away from where my kids grew up, where our house is. She had just taken a chemistry test. And she was caught in the line of fire because some kids had some automatic weapons they didnt need," she said. "I just dont want to keep disappointing our kids in this country. I want them to know that we put them first."
However, when the interview aired on "Good Morning America" on Tuesday, viewers heard the first lady said this:
"She was absolutely right. She did everything she was supposed to do. She was standing in a park, with her friends, in a neighborhood blocks away from where my kids grew up, where our house is. And she was caught in the line of fire. I just dont want to keep disappointing our kids in this country. I want them to know that we put them first."
ABC edited the response visually by using a cutaway in the middle of the answer of Ms. Roberts listening.
Instead of at least allowing viewers to see Obama's remarks, the GMA segment that aired focused on hyping her secret appearance at the Oscars as something "straight out of 'Argo.'" The eight and a half minute segment featured no tough questions.
It's not as though Roberts is incapable of asking tough questions when interviewing a first lady. On October 22, 2007, the journalist wondered in an interviewhttp://global.fncstatic.com/static/v...ernal-link.png with First Lady Laura Bush if the United States should be exporting generosity and not "our bombs."
Scott Whitlock is the senior news analyst for the Media Research Center. You can find him on Twitter @ScottJWhttp://global.fncstatic.com/static/v...ernal-link.png.

There's no way the MSM would be trying to protect the first lady would there???

My friend is currently working on a Nihilus costume. He plans on wearing it to a convention eventually and he says he wants to wear it for Halloween. He's done most of the work, but I've helped him a lot and he told me to post pictures so you can guys can tell us what you think!
Here are the WIP pictures:
We ordered the mask off of mywickedarmor, and it should be coming in the mail very soon. Also, we are at a complete loss as to how to make the hood, so if anyone can help us with that, that would be great!

Tire Rack's Tires, Wheels, Brakes & Suspension
Discuss everything about wheels, tires, suspension and brakes for your BMW.
Sponsored by The Tirerack. Moderated by email@example.com
|Thread Tools
|Display Modes
Low-Down + Facts + Skinny: Springs vs Air Suspension vs Coilovers!
You see tons and tons of threads asking what suspension one should go with on their vehicle. Much like a set of wheels, a good steak, a cold beer (or even a hot woman), very few men want the same thing from their suspension. We're pretty much all different, have different driving habits, want to go in a different direction with our projects, drive our cars more or less daily (or weekly) than the next fella, and last, but not least, live in different parts of the country (or state) where driving conditions make all the difference in the world with the suspension you decide to go with. We'll go out on a limb here and say that we're probably one of the few (if only) shops around with *in-house* shop cars that run on every darn combo you can think of - air suspension (Air Lift), coilovers (both KONI and B&G) springs with shocks (Eibach Pro-Kit with Bilstein HD), springs with shocks (NEUSPEED Sports with KONI Adjustable Sports) and yet another vehicle on a different combo of springs with shocks (a KONI FSD Eibach kit), ranging from a MK1 VW, a MK2 VW, a MK3 VW, an Audi B6 A4, a Suburban tow vehicle, two VW Corrados, a Mazda3 and an RX-7. Oh, and we'll be picking up a 335xi inside the next 180 days as a Bimmer project (our first) and it'll be on a set of coilovers that are TBA once we obtain the car. Yes, we like to collect cars and take up useless (or would that be precious?) space with them. The point? That we have the best of all worlds right here at our facility on each of our own in-house cars, drive them every day (and drive them hard), giving you hands-on experience and real world situations with air vs. coilovers vs. springs with matched shocks (both adjustable and non-adjustable). Without a doubt, there is a benefit and downside to each and no two people want the same thing from their suspension, hence why we have different vehicles here within our in-house projects all with different setups on them. Below will give you the breakdown of each:
Because of cost, this is by far the most popular combination when choosing a performance suspension for your vehicle. This setup can pretty much give you the same benefits of coilovers without the ride height adjustability (that is if using KONI Sport Shocks). Rebound dampening adjustability (if using KONI Sport Shocks) can also be tailor-mated to the spring of your choice, again, giving you the same exact options of a good coilover kit. The downside, however, is that unlike coilovers or air, you cannot adjust the ride height. Determining what drop is right for you (i.e. .75", 1", 1.5", 2", etc) and deciding on what springs to go with (B&G, Eibach, H&R, Vogtland, NEUSPEED) is the biggest challenge. How low (or not low) do you want to go? Do you want the option of adjusting them for softness or firmness, or would you simply like a non-adjustable shock like the KONI Street (Orange) Shocks or Bilstein Sport Shocks?
No different than a spring with shock combo, but with the ability to adjust ride height and rebound dampening adjustability (kit dependent). Some kits on the market today offer rebound dampening and some do not (the difference being $$$$). All will offer ride height adjustments, though. Typically used for racing (most notably for corner balancing), coilovers are going to typically cost more than a spring and shock combo, but not typically as much as an air ride system. Most "real world" coilover users today are typically buying coilovers for the "idea" of having them and not necessarily for what they're intended for (racing and corner balancing). What we've found with a majority of our customers is that they're buying coilovers for their cars, dialing them in with ride height and dampening (where applicable) where they like it, then never, ever touching them again. That is nice and all, but somewhat defeats the purpose of spending $1000+ (or more) on a "racing" suspension, no? If you're comfortable with the 1.5" to 2" range (which is where a majority of your daily drivers are), why not just do a good spring with shock kit? A quality spring and shock combo (for a lot less money) will get you the same exact results with improved handling and steering response - and again - that adjustability should you go with a KONI Sport Shock. Ultimately, it's the end user's decision on what he wants to do, but nowadays it seems that most people just want to be able to say, "I have coilovers!" as opposed to actually using them for the track or the other types of racing they're intended for.
Obviously, air is going to be the most superior in "adjustability" options when it comes to suspension. Air ride is not a full-on "racing" suspension, but nor is a spring and shock combination necessarily one, either. For real world conditions (i.e. daily driving with occasional "spirited driving"), an air setup can be the perfect solution for those wanting comfort and ride height adjustability. Air will indeed ride the best in respect to comfort, but also comes with a price tag and minor trunk space loss that springs with shocks or coilovers do not have you sacrificing (hopefully you don't play golf). Even then, however, there are kits available with small compressors and tanks where a good portion of your trunk can be retained with false floors, hiding components, etc (something we can do for you here in-house at MJM). We recently removed coilovers on one of our cars (our B6 Audi A4 1.8TQ as seen in this month's "Eurotuner Magazine") and replaced it with air and two things were immediately evident:
1) The handling did not change whatsoever.
2) The ride comfort did indeed get better after changing over to air.
Air ride, however, is not for everyone, but on the particular car we did it on here at our facility, we would not go back to any other suspension setup and the difference is night and day over coilovers. In hindsight, we wish we would have made the decision to bag one of our cars a lot earlier than we did. It's cool for only about 101 different reasons, but not exactly something we want on each and every one of our 9 in-house project cars here at MJM, and again, it's certainly not for everyone (as they say, to each his own).
Suspension makes up for a fair percentage of our business here and we have experience with pretty much every single combination of setups you could imagine. Feel free to email us through our site (www.mjmautohaus.com) for some 1-on-1 consultation on what would work best for you based on your driving style, driving habits, road conditions, performance desires and budget for suspension modding. Again, we're the sole Warehouse Distributors for Air Lift, B&G Suspension, Eibach, H&R Special Springs and KONI, NEUSPEED here in South Texas with more *in-stock* suspension part numbers than any single distributor in our region and have experience with any setup your little heart desires. Whether you want the "static" of the firm and denture-loosing setup of something like an H&R Race Spring (or Eibach Sportline) with KONI's famed adjustable Sport Shock or the OEM + and OEM feel of an KONI FSD Shock Kit (that rides better than a factory car), we're here to serve you with what most folks want to do first with their car - THE SUSPENSION! Feel free to hit us up if we can help or if you have any questions.

In the splendid surroundings of Highbury, Arsenal began a decade of domination.
In order to appreciate the extent of Herbert Chapman's vision, it's important to consider the profile which football had in the early 1930s.
The media saturation of the sport, so prevalent in the modern era, simply wasn't present. Neither did football have a stranglehold over working men.
In those far off days, speedway was a major contender, and big meetings could regularly pull in crowds of 30,000 or above. Chapman continued to argue that in the long term, football would outstrip its sporting rivals, but in the meantime, he realised that the product needed to be sufficiently attractive to pull in the punters.
With Norris now gone, Chapman was free to build his "dream team" without Sir Henry's tiresome influence. Thanks to his drive he turned Highbury into, as one awe-struck '30s fan put it, "the Taj Mahal of football."
Highbury quickly became the most talked about – and modern – stadium in Europe. At a cost of £45,000, the West Stand (complete with 4,100 seats) was opened in December 1932, and the completion of the luxurious East Stand ("a building of wonder and unparalleled in football" in the words of the Arsenal programme) made Highbury the most famous ground in the world. Its artdeco frontage simply set the ground apart from all others.
Travelling supporters and visiting players were in awe of setting foot near Highbury. Not content with incorporating the latest architectural designs into the fabric of the stadium, Chapman tried to add in a few mod cons. In 1932, he advocated the use of a giant 45-minute clock, so the crowd could see precisely how much time was left in each half.
"Chapman knew that football was an event, and he wanted fans to be part of the game. He believed that a clock would add to the tension of the game, with countdowns adding to the atmosphere," explained George Male. The FA didn't buy into Chapman's way of thinking and banned the mechanism, claiming it would place referees under pressure - although they did finally allow the famous clock to be erected.
The newly nicknamed "Bank Of England" club needed to pull in 40,000 punters to every home game in order to break even. It was a tall order as the Depression started to bite London. Yet his gamble would pay off.
Some locals remained adamant that turning Highbury into a football Mecca, and spending huge sums on players, was unjustified. George Male recalled: "Some claimed times were hard and it was distasteful that Arsenal were spending so much on a fancy stadium, when the working man was going through the Depression. They had a point – but the projects were hardly vulgar – because it was paid for by success on the field. Speculating to accumulate. That's good business in anybody's language."
There was always a contradiction lying at the heart of Chapman. As Huddersfield manager, he'd frequently reiterated the fact that spending large sums of money on players or stadiums was "a regrettable part of football." He also believed that the status of footballers as George Male professionals should preferably be avoided. Yet no other manager spent so much (comparatively) on players or ground improvements until the Premiership era dawned.
George Male claimed: "Above all, Chapman was a showman. Everything – spending money included – came second to his team putting on a fantastic show." As Gunners fans from the era testify, there was no finer performance in London in the '30s than watching Arsenal play at Highbury, and on FA Cup Final day, at Wembley.
By the time of the 1930/1931 campaign, the team was starting to perfect the ruthless cutting edge counter attacking football which he'd been advocating. Up front, he had a strong front line with Jack Lambert supported by David Jack and Alex James as deep lying inside forwards. Chapman employed Cliff Bastin and Joe Hulme as nippy wingers who cut inside with devastating effects.
The Gunners' style contrasted with that of other teams, who relied on dribbling, possession football and dwelling on the ball. Chapman maintained that his back line was "the rock bottom of football," and the Gunners' defence was instructed to play deep, with the wing halves in their own penalty area when the opposition attacked.
The team's ability to spend significant periods of a game under the cosh, then break out at lightning speed and score brought accusations of "Lucky Arsenal" and "Boring Arsenal" from many defeated sides. When Chapman's men landed the First Division title in 1931, they actually scored 127 goals, which remains a club record to this day, and flew in the faces of their detractors.
Chapman was never able to emulate his Huddersfield feat of winning the 'double', although he came very close in 1931/32, when his team finished second behind Everton in the league, and controversially lost the 1932 FA Cup Final against Newcastle, despite the Geordies' equalising goal appearing to come after the ball had gone out of play.
Despite the shock of losing to Walsall in the FA Cup Third Round in January 1933, Chapman's team regained their nerve and won the 1933 title. But Chapman told club director George Allison: "The team's played out, Mr Allison, we must rebuild." Sadly, he was never able to see the rebuilding process completed.
Chapman brought in reinforcements for the start of the next season (including Ray Bowden, Pat Beasley and James Dunne), but died from pneumonia in January 1934. It was left to Allison to oversee the 1934 title triumph, and with the injection of new recruits, including Wilf Copping and Ted Drake, the Gunners completed a hat-trick of title successes in May 1935.
Allison's charges, whilst crediting him for the job he did, confirmed that as a football tactician he was never in Chapman's league.
George Male recalled: "George was fortunate to have inherited the nucleus of a great side from Chapman. Chapman was a genius in every sense. He was a true visionary, who built Arsenal's stature and reputation and turned them into a world name."
The 1931- 1935 period remains the most successful in Arsenal's history, and the 60,000-plus fans who regularly packed Highbury would never forget the exhilarating sight of the red and white legions pouring forward. The architect of this thrilling spectacle was Chapman.
- If Arsenal fans wanted to see their hero Alex James at closer quarters, they could pop into Selfridges, where he worked as a "sports demonstrator".
- In March 1935, with Arsenal poised to secure a hat-trick of title successes, a massive 73,295 crammed inside Highbury to see the Gunners take on Sunderland.
- In 'Arsenal From The Heart', Bob Wall claimed that Highbury staff used to be able to hear "the ghost" of Herbert Chapman pacing the corridors for years after his death.Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

By Giuseppe Muro
Lukasz Fabianski says he is ready to challenge Wojciech Szczesny for Arsenal's No 1 shirt this season after returning from injury against FC Cologne at the weekend.
The elder of the two Polish goalkeepers at the Club established himself as Arsène Wenger's first-choice last season before a shoulder injury in January kept him on the sidelines for the back end of the campaign. In his absence, Szczesny made the position his own.
Fabianski got 20 minutes under his belt to mark his return to action on Saturday and has now set his sights on competing with his fellow countryman and Vito Mannone for a place between the posts.
"That is my aim and I will do everything that I can to be the No 1," he told Arsenal Player. "In my shoulder and in myself, I am feeling stronger than I was before.
"I am very happy that I am finally fit and I could play a part of the game against Cologne. I am pleased with my fitness level and hopefully it will keep improving.
"Hopefully nothing will come up in the next few weeks and I will be ready for the competition that we have."
The full interview with Lukasz is now available on Arsenal Player. He discusses: his return to fitness, how his shoulder feels, when he returned to full training, the friendly win over Cologne and new signing Gervinho.Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

from the Chalkboard Manifesto
I am not really looking forward to going back to work today. The kids are delivering "special occasion" speeches and we'll watch Bill Clinton give a commencement speech, but that's all I've got planned for the afternoon. I'll report back on how many kids actually handed in mid-terms. Wish me – and them – luck.
