Name: Alex Eatman
Name: Alex Eatman
Office you are seeking: Jacksonville City Council-At-Large
Address: 722 Dennis Road, Jacksonville, NC 28546
Date of birth: 7/13/1991
City of birth: Daytona Beach, FL
County of birth: Volusia
How voters can contact you: firstname.lastname@example.com
Occupation: Accountant
Education: Associate in Applied Science Degree in Accounting, from Coastal Carolina Community College.
Prior publicly elected, appointed or held positions: None.
Leadership experience: Treasurer, Onslow County GOP.
How long have you live in the municipality for which you seek office? 11 years.
Why are you running for office? To prevent tax increases, put an end to eminent domain claims by the city on private property, and to keep our municipal government accountable to the people they purport to represent.
What makes you the best candidate for the position? I�ve put all of my campaign promises down in writing � a contract with 8 goals I want to accomplish, plus 4 additional goals put upon me by the results of an opinion survey I�ve been conducting as I�ve gone door-to-door in Jacksonville. By the terms of this contract, if I don�t accomplish at least half of these goals and start on the other half in my term of office, I will be ineligible to run for re-election in 2017. It also states that any vote I cast in favor of a tax increase will double as my legally-binding resignation from office.
What specific issue would you most like to address while in office? Fiscal responsibility. Local government has held a �kick the can down the road� mentality for too long, taking out long term debt instead of paying for projects up front, and raising taxes instead of cutting rampant, needless spending. I seek to reverse that trend in our city.
What is your stance on raising property tax in the next fiscal year? Absolutely not. I will never vote in favor of any tax increase. That includes the hidden tax the city is levying on our water bill, and intends to increase in the near future. The Council plans on raising the sanitation fee, which presently stands at $10/month, in order to free up money for them to throw away elsewhere.
What would you like to see happen in downtown Jacksonville as far as revitalization? I�d like to see property owners in control of what happens on their own land. The fall of the Soviet Union taught us a valuable lesson: Central planning doesn�t work. This is America, and we need to remind our government � elected members and otherwise � that they work for us, not the other way around. Private property needs to stay private, no matter how badly our government wants it. I stand in opposition to any designs the city has on private property.

For-profit Education: Background
As the number of for-profit educational institutions in the United States continues to grow, so does their presence and influence in Washington.
For-profit institutions derive much of their funding from the federal government, in the form of financial aid grants and subsidized student loans. For-profit schools tend to offer tailored professional programs that prepare students for jobs in a particular field after graduation.
But the industry has had to deal with a worsening national reputation after a string of controversies. In 2010, the Government Accountability Office found that 15 for-profit colleges used deceptive recruiting tactics and encouraged prospective students to provide false information on financial aid applications. Additionally, a 2011 National Bureau of Economic Research study found that for-profit college students are more likely to have higher debt levels, default on their student loans, be unemployed and earn less compared to students who attend nonprofits. Others have raised concerns over for-profits using their federal funds for expensive advertising and marketing campaigns.
Largely as a result of reports like these, the Obama administration in 2010 pledged to place strict regulations on for-profit colleges. Lobbying by the industry skyrocketed. After spending less than $2.7 million on lobbying in 2009, for-profits as a whole spent over $7.4 million in 2010 and almost $12.5 million in 2011. The industry heavily lobbied the White House and Department of Education towards the end of 2010 and throughout most of 2011 and succeeded in weakening some of the new regulations.
For-profit colleges are not without their advocates. Some politicians, including 2012 Republican Presidential nominee Mitt Romney, have argued that for-profit schools can contain education costs by competing with non-profit colleges.
Campaign contributions from the for-profit education industry have been steadily increasing nearly every year since 1990. PACs associated with and individual employees of for-profit educational institutions donated over $2.4 million to federal campaigns 2010, an increase of about $850,000 from 2008. Instead of routinely favoring one party over another with their campaign contributions, for-profit colleges have funneled their money to those in positions of greatest power regardless of their ideology. Not surprisingly, companies in the industry have targeted congressional candidates who serve on education committees and tend to give to both the Republican and Democratic nominees in presidential election years.
The for-profit education heavyweight in Washington has consistently been the Apollo Group, a parent company of several for-profit colleges, including the University of Phoenix. In every election cycle since 1994, the Apollo Group has not only contributed more to political campaigns than any other for-profit college, but has been a top spender among all colleges and universities. Apollo's political action committee spent nearly $190,000 on the 2010 elections, 57 percent of which went to Republicans. The Apollo Group has also been one of the major lobbying forces in for-profit education, spending just over $1 million in 2011 trying to sway lawmakers on Capitol Hill. .

AGOURA HILLS, Calif. - THQ Inc. (NASDAQ: THQI) today announced the release of its wackiest SpongeBob SquarePants video game to date - SpongeBob's Truth or Square - to all major retailers nationwide for the Wii system, Nintendo DS, the Xbox 360 video game and entertainment system from Microsoft, and PSP (PlayStation Portable) system. In this off-the-wall action adventure game, players will experience the wacky world of SpongeBob and some of its most humorous events from the last 10 years. The game also introduces a new and unique morphing capability that turns SpongeBob into unlikely objects like a spatula or sledgehammer. The game is rated E for everyone and is available at the suggested retail prices of $39.99 (Wii and Xbox 360) and $29.99 (DS and PSP system).
"SpongeBob's Truth or Square provides the ultimate SpongeBob experience for kids, parents and SpongeBob fans of all ages," said Randy Shoemaker, vice president, global brand management at THQ.

About SpongeBob's Truth or Square
In SpongeBob's Truth or Square, players must journey through memorable SpongeBob SquarePants locations to find the missing Krabby Patty formula in time for Krusty Krab's Eleventy Seventh Anniversary. From Jellyfish Fields to downtown Bikini Bottom, players will run, jump, spin and hammer their way through 10 challenging levels. Each level will take players back to a happy SpongeBob SquarePants moment, such as when SpongeBob becomes a fry cook, gets into the Salty Spittoon or meets Sandy for the first time.
Equipped with special morphing abilities, players can transform SpongeBob into bizarre objects -- such as the Spatula Slam, Propeller Spin and Sledgehammer Smash -- to help him conquer treacherous obstacles and legions of Plankton's robots. Players will also be able to soak up water, hose down enemies, and jump into a bubble gum fling as they navigate their way through an obstacle course of traps. In two-player co-op mode, friends will be able to join in on the action as Plankton to help SpongeBob solve puzzles, unlock new pathways and defeat super-powered creatures.
SpongeBob's Truth or Square was developed by Heavy Iron Studios. For more information about this game, and the rest of THQ's line-up of family-friendly titles, please visit www.playthq.com.

Aviva Premiership
Leicester sign 'up and coming' prop
ESPN Staff
July 15, 2013
Leicester Tigers have announced the signing of loose-head prop Tom Bristow from London Welsh.
The 21-year-old, who made 21 Premiership appearances for the Exiles last season, is the Tigers' ninth new signing ahead of the new campaign and is set to provide welcome competition with Marcus Ayerza set to be on Rugby Championship duty with Argentina until mid-October.
Tigers director of rugby Richard Cockerill said: "Tom is a young up-and-coming prop and he joins a very good bunch of promising young front rows at the club, including Fraser Balmain, Ryan Bower and Academy prospects Riccardo Brugnara, Tiziano Pasquali and Harry Rudkin.
"This is a good environment for Tom and the other young guys to learn their trade alongside senior props Marcos Ayerza, Boris Stankovich, Logovi'i Mulipola, Dan Cole and Jerome Schuster."
Bristow said: "I enjoyed my experience with London Welsh in the Aviva Premiership last season but I'm happy to be here now and delighted to have the opportunity with Leicester Tigers. I'm looking forward to settling in during the pre-season and being part of the Tigers squad."
Bristow follows Schuster, hooker Neil Briggs, lock Sebastien De Chaves, back-rower Jamie Gibson, scrum-half David Mele, fly-halves Ryan Lamb and Owen Williams and winger Gonzalo Camacho in commiting his future to Welford Road.

I think your worried about something that you don't really need to be. You just need to pay attention to you rope and treat it well. If with a single on ice your constantly worried about cutting it...then just buy doubles; that way you have two ropes to worry about cutting
Because my concern has always been the rope accidently getting sliced in 1/2 by a bad pick placement of a ice pick or - a couple of foolish crampon steps onto the rope in error thus damaging it pretty well.
OK thanks for all the info!

George Bourne, Picture of slavery in the United State of America. . . (Boston, 1838), facing. p. 120.
The illustrations in this anti-slavery book strongly reflect its abolitionist perspective. Captioned, "Kidnapping," this illustration shows the kidnapping of a free person of color to sell him as a slave. "Nothing is more common," the author writes, "than for two of these white partners in kidnapping . . . to start upon the prowl; and if they find a freeman on the road, to demand his certificate, tear it in pieces, or secrete it, tie him to one of their horses, hurry off to some jail, while one whips the citizen along as fast as their horses can travel. There by an understanding with the jailor who shares in the spoil, all possibility of intercourse with his friends is denied the stolen citizen. At the earliest possible period, the captive is sold out to pay the felonious claims of the law . . . and then transferred to some of their accomplices of iniquity . . . who fill every part of the southern states with rapine, crime, and blood" (p. 120).

Chris & Dave (a.k.a. CHRAVE, how cute?!) are going to steal your heart today with their sweet, bursting smiles. They've got the kind of love that's contagious. My favorite part of their story? They met outside a Madonna concert! So, it was only fitting that her lyrics would make an appearance at their ceremony. I urge you to peruse the full gallery captured by Sylvie Gil, it will infuse your day with utter happiness.
From Sylvie Gil... Chris & Dave met on the sidewalk outside a Madonna Concert in Chicago in 2006, and in 2015 became engaged while on a boat ride in Regent's Park, London. Their wine country wedding at the Kunde Family Winery was a bit of a surprise venue for their 38 guests, who were bused in without knowing exactly the location of the ceremony. Madonna lyrics were read by the wedding party during the ceremony, and the couple entered to Beyonce's "Halo". While the grooms wore matching grey suits and succulent-inspired boutonnieres, each added a bit of personal flair to his outfit - Chris wore glittery gold loafers and a tie, and Dave wore grey suspenders and a bowtie. A modern gold cake topper spelled out their couple name, "CHRAVE".

Topic: Is Gareth Edwards ("Monsters," "Godzilla") to Direct the Rumored Boba Fett Film?
The Official Star Wars website released a press announcement at 4pm PST today that names the director and writer for the first spin-off Star Wars film, due out after Episode 7.
The announcement does not name a subject matter. Still to this day, there is still zero official confirmation of a Boba Fett film.
Here is our own recap of what Boba Fett-specific <span style=background:green; color:#fff;]confirmations and rumors have come at what time and from where:
February 5, 2013:
Less than a week after announcing Episode 7, the official Star Wars website <span style=background:green; color:#fff;]confirmed there will be two spin-off films. No mention of Boba Fett. Here is their announcement.
February 6, 2013:
In an Entertainment Weekly post by senior writer Anthony Breznican -- headlined as an exclusive -- the article confidently opened about learning that one spin-off film is about Boba Fett. We reported this in Boba Fett Feature Film Update. Later in the same article, they postulate if these films will happen. No follow-up information was given to further confirm that Entertainment Weekly had a legitimate exclusive scoop.
September 12, 2013:
Variety reports that Disney CFO Jay Rasul <span style=background:green; color:#fff;]confirmed on an investor conference call that we'll see origin stories in these spin-off films. We reported this in Would Boba Fett's Origin Story Make a Great Feature Film? No mention of Boba Fett.
September 16, 2013:
Nuke The Fridge posted that the origin films would be about Han Solo and Boba Fett. But they cited a February 2013 article on MovieWeb, which was also missing any evidence. We reported this in Origin Fett Film Still Not Confirmed, Despite 'Nuke' Post. Nuke The Fridge later retracted on their use of the word confirmed.
January 2, 2014:
Filmmaker Jon Schnepp spoke during a marathon YouTube event that Lawrence Kasdan is for a fact writing a Boba Fett spin-off film.

An unnamed informant tells Latino Review that not only is Joe Johnston on the top of the list to direct a Boba Fett spin-off film, but Lawrence Kasdan has a script idea, which would veto the whole Episode 2 storyline. We reported this in Joe Johnston 'Tops' List To Direct and Lawrence Kasdan's Western 'Pitch' for Boba Fett 2018 Film, says Latino Review. No follow-up was provided by Latino Review.

An unnamed informant tells Jedi News UK that during a Disney-hosted executive breakfast that a Boba Fett spin-off film was mentioned. No photos, no names, and no direct quotes were provided. We reported this in Disney May Not Make Rumored Boba Fett Spin-Off Film Because He's No Hero. No follow-up was provided by JediNews.

Disney CEO Bob Iger <span style=background:green; color:#fff;]confirmed on an investor conference call that at least three spin-off films are being targeted by 2020.

How many of us have not experienced the truth that sacrifice deepens our commitment?
How many of us have not experienced the truth that sacrifice deepens our commitment, that shared challenge strengthens our attachment to each other?
Why is it that Marines feel a special bond � a commitment to each other � that transcends ethnicity, generations, genders, even nationality? Shared sacrifice builds Marines and their commitment to "Semper Fidelis" or "always faithful."
In addition to the Marines, shared sacrifice also strengthens relationships from marriage to organizational teams. Commitment through sacrifice also built our nation.
The Second Continental Congress appointed George Washington commander of all continental forces on June 15, 1775. He arrived in Cambridge, Mass., on July 2 and assumed command the next day. He set to work accumulating supplies and building up his meager army to fight what amounted to his fellow countrymen: his brother Englishmen comprising the manpower for the world�s greatest superpower of its time.
In time, he and his army sacrificing much, Washington would against all odds defeat this great superpower. America was spawned in sacrifice.
To a friend in New York, Washington wrote shortly after talking command, "In little time we shall work up these raw materials into good stuff." By "good stuff," he meant both men and material, both of which were necessary to be turned into "good stuff" if he had any hope of his fledgling army succeeding against the Red Coats. Through good leadership and shared sacrifice, he did just that.
I walked some of the earliest battlefields of the American Revolution two weeks ago, not far from where Washington first took command of the Continental Army and from which he wrote that raw materials (and men) could be turned into "good stuff." Washington understood the power of shared sacrifice turning raw material into "good stuff."
I visited the Revolutionary War battlefields while serving on the staff of the Department of Defense Executive Leadership Program. The ELDP, like Washington, uses the model of sacrifice to deepen commitment, of raw material being turned into "good stuff" through shared challenges. The two-week "core curriculum" portion of ELDP�s year-long training and deployment regimen is not easy. It is neither designed nor intended to be so.
I�ve written about the ELDP in the past regarding my experiences as a student. This last two weeks, rather than being a student, I was in Massachusetts serving as a team advisor. About 60 federal employees representing the defense, justice and state departments participated in this year�s challenging core training in Southbridge, Mass.
The primary learning objectives of ELDP�s core training are to help students understand themselves, communicate better, and learn how to build teams. ELDP accomplishes these objectives very well in a short period of time � like the Marines � through leadership experiences and instruction, shared sacrifice, and imposition of arduous challenges that deepen students� commitment to each other and to their team.
Readers should take pride, as I do, in the commitment of the defense, justice and state departments, the military services, and other federal government agencies to build leadership among the ranks of its civilian leaders through their participation in the ELDP. It is this developed leadership that will help our government become more efficient, more effective and more capable. In an era of decreasing resources and increasing commitments, we can do � and should do � nothing less.
Upon returning from my ELDP duties, my first meal was a Chinese takeout supper. The emblematic fortune cookie was included in the paper sack that held the cardboard containers of fried rice and beef with broccoli. Along with the lucky numbers of 9, 27, 46, 30, 14 and 28, printed on the slip of paper inside the cookie was the following message: "TEAMS: Together Everyone Achieves More Success."
The author of that cookie�s message is right. And students of ELDP learn very quickly at their core curriculum training, reinforced by team and deployment experiences throughout the next year, how right that fortune cookie is. They learn, firsthand � by experiencing it � how teamwork can solve problems impossible to individuals.
Washington was quoted as saying, "Government is not reason; it is not eloquent; it is force. Like fire, it is a dangerous servant and a fearful master."
In other words, in a democracy like ours, government is a necessary evil that must be controlled. Good, sacrificial leadership, like that developed through the ELDP, will help control the force of government. It will help a smaller, servant U.S. government to be more effective with our increasingly diminishing resources. ELDP is one government program worth the price.

How to Download Rapidshare and Megaupload files from the Linux Terminal: Not long ago, we've shown you how to download torrent files from the Linux terminal. Today, I will share with you a way to quickly and efficiently download files from file-sharing websites such as Rapidshare and Megaupload also from the command line.
To download any Rapidshare and Megaupload file from the Linux terminal, you will need to install an application called 'plowshare'. You can get it from HERE.
Before using plowshare, you should install these packages first:
Since I'm using Ubuntu, I downloaded and installed those packages using this one-liner:
$ sudo apt-get install curl recode imagemagick tesseract-ocr-eng rhino aview perlmagick
Now that everything is set, you could start downloading Rapidshare and Megaupload files using the Linux terminal. Here are some usage examples:
Downloading a file from Rapidshare:
$ plowdown http://www.rapidshare.com/files/12345678/Elephants_Dream.rar
Downloading a file from Megaupload (with free membership account):
$ plowdown -a myusername:mypassword http://www.megaupload.com/?d=12345678
Downloading a password-protected file from Megaupload:
$ plowdown -p somepassword http://www.megaupload.com/?d=swf1g53x
For other usage examples, you may go HERE.
It is worth noting that plowshare also supports other file-sharing services such as 2Shared, 4Shared, ZShare, Badongo, Divshare.com, Depositfiles, Mediafire, Netload.in, Storage.to, Uploaded.to, Uploading.com, Sendspace, and Usershare. I always use the Linux terminal when downloading files since I find it fast and utilizes less system resources, so I encourage you to try it.

Drew Barrymore is hoping to make it third time lucky after reportedly accepting boyfriend Will Kopelman's proposal over the holidays.
The art consultant popped the question during a winter break in Sun Valley, Idaho according to Us Weekly magazine.
The Charlie's Angels star began dating Kopelman last year after splitting from longtime on/off boyfriend Justin Long.
Sources tell the magazine that Barrymore and her new fiance dated briefly in 2010.
The insider tells the publication, "He's madly in love and knows she's the one."
Barrymore's previous two marriages to bar owner Jeremy Thomas in 1994 and comedian Tom Green in 2001 were short-lived – both lasted less than five months.
The actress also had a long romance with The Strokes drummer Fabrizio Moretti.
The movie star has yet to confirm the engagement news.

Is 'American Horror Story: Coven' Creator Ryan Murphy Hinting At The New Supreme?
American Horror Story: Coven creator Ryan Murphy tweets:
This Wednesday...maybe Madonna is the new Supreme. pic.twitter.com/p6xXnYgLHt
— Ryan Murphy (@MrRPMurphy) January 27, 2014
C'mon! You know you were thinking it during last night's Grammy red carpet!
For the record, Madonna can wear whatever she wants.
Still, with AHS: Coven's season finale coming up on Wednesday, any last predictions on who will the next Supreme??
Let us know your theories! Any bets??
It will be Fiona still .... Her daughter is helping her .... Notice all she saw in her third sight was Fiona being axed. Not chopped up and fed to alligators. Also they hinted at it when all the other witches asked that they didn't feel it that she was dead and wanted to go and save her. That's when Cornelia said they can't due to alligator food .....

Thanks so much to Flickr member Laurana for adding these cheerful shots of her kitchen to our Fresh New Spaces Group. This yellow will really wake one up while waiting for the coffee to brew! I'm sure on those winter days when the sun sets very early in Finland, this color helps brighten things up.
If you can read Finnish, you can learn more about this kitchen on Laurana's blog.

Eastown New Cairo , we are creating a community that integrates life , work and recreation.Eastown New Cairo Master Plan:
Overlay of Eastown's Master-plan and Map of Central London
the figure to the right is a scale comparison of Eastown's master-plan and high
street with Oxford Street , Central London. It provides an indication of
Eastown's scale and more importantly , its "walkability".
Eastown New Cairo land Use and Neighborhoods Eastown New Cairo is divided into
five districts , each classified by its own defining features that include: Wist
Al-Balad , The Center The Gateway , The residences and The Business Park.
Meticulously planned and strategically placed on the master-plan , each district
is situated in a way that fully maximizes benefits and functionality of a
mixed-use city center.
Eastown New Cairo is a city center of contemporary buildings ,
beautifully landscaped piazzas and parks.
Eastown is structured
around two axes; the
commercial and shopping spine
of Central Avenue ,
and a tree-lined Green
spine. The two axes converge in a
large public square in Eastown's Entertainment Quarter. The Green spine runs through the heart of Eastown's
residential area.
A jogging path winds its way through this area , linking the
residential and commercial neighborhoods.
The pedestrian Central Avenue links the southeastern limits
of the new campus of the American University in Cairo with Wist Al-Balad , which
is positioned on
higher ground overlooking the
rest of the
city centre. Also along Central Avenue is the indoor-outdoor galleria
which lies at the heart of Eastown's shopping district.Cars , too , have their place. Underground car parks ,
wide thoroughfares and
easy access via New
Cairo's main road
90 and the ring
road mean that
for once , driving , just
like cycling and
walking , will be a pleasure.
Surrounded by some of Egypt's top educational
establishments , and populated by ambitious young urbanites , Eastown New Cairo will have
an energy and dynamism of its own.
From carving out a career in the business district , to
studying for a
degree , or raising a
family , this is
the place to make it happen.
And when a change of job or a move to a bigger place is in
order , Eastown New Cairo can help you meet the challenge.
From the outset , Eastown New Cairo was planned to offer flexibility
and diversity. The east end
of town will
be predominately commercial; it
will be clustered
around the central pedestrian avenue's shopping and nightlife and the offices
of the Central Business district. The
calmer district to the
west is given
over to residential neighborhoods overlooking
parks and tree-lined pedestrian
spaces. In the middle will be mixed-use communities , home to small businesses ,
independent shops , lofts and penthouses.Urban living redefined
The heart of Eastown's vision is to provide its residents
with contemporary living spaces that are functional , attractive and within easy
reach of urban essentials.
Eastown will offer around 1 , 600 new luxury and family
apartments , penthouses , lofts and student studios. Elegantly styled and
supplied with the latest fittings , they will look out over tree-lined streets ,
parks and courtyards. Nearby , a central green area cuts a swathe through
Eastown , an ideal locale for calm recreation; irrigated with recycled water.
Each neighborhood will have its own distinctive charm and character. One can
live in a penthouse or loft in the bustle of wist al-balad , overlooking
alleyways lined with cafes , art-galleries and small shops , or for a
slower-paced lifestyle , one can retreat to an elegant apartment near the AUC
campus where children can freely play in the parks or cycle on the lanes that
wind around the whole neighborhood.
One can enjoy an urban lifestyle only a few minutes' walk
from the world class shopping facilities and business district. Families will
appreciate Eastown's safe environment , clean air and wide open spaces , coupled
with a host of recreational and educational facilities , health clubs , spas ,
pools and playgrounds.Infrastructure & property management.
Infrastructure is a bit like waitressing. If done correctly
you don't notice it. It's only when things go wrong that your life is
At Eastown we've designed and tested the water supply ,
electricity , roads , construction and communications systems to offer reliable
service and conserve energy and preserve natural resources , day in and day out ,
for generations to come. Master-planners , engineers and architects have paid
rigorous attention to the arteries and backbones of life in Eastown. Intersections
have been designed so that cars , cyclers and pedestrians can move freely. Grey
water will be recycled and used to irrigate the lawns and parks. Pavements have
been widened , landscaped and furnished with benches. Provisions for a Wi-Fi
network and mobile hubs have been made. If another technology comes along that
makes businesses more efficient , we'll install it.
Leveraging the expertise of SODIC and Solidere's engineers
for infrastructure planning , we have anticipated challenges and devised
strategies for every aspect of Eastown's life.
We'll do what we do best , so you can do what you do best.
As well as being experienced developers and planners , SODIC
and Solidere are also the property managers in Eastown. So you'll just have one
port of call , whether you need a new office or simply someone to fix the slide
in the playground. We'll look after the landscaping , the lifts , the parking ,
the CCTV; everything in fact , down to new initiatives to save energy. We have a
computerised maintenance management system to track every job and provide an
up-to-date assessment of progress. We'll also do our best to minimise
disruption when any works are carried out. As for sales and rentals , you simply
tell us your requirements; residential , retail or commercial , and we'll explain
all the options , from buying to lease , and leasing to buy. We'll provide every
kind of assistance through the contractual process to make it simple and
straightforward. Thanks to our partnership with Solidere we can offer a
comprehensive approach to maintenance and after-sales care. Our property
management teams will look after:
Office , residential , commercial and retail spaces
Underground parking
Infrastructure networks
Landscaped open spaces
Marketing , sales and renting of units
Concierge services
Telecommunication systems and cabling
CCTV and MATV systems
Fire fighting and life safety systems

A few years ago, I wrote up a couple pretty sweet articles for a now-defunct magazine called Edible Los Angeles. (And I know what you're thinking… but noooo, it did not go out of business because of my writing.) For reasons unbeknownst to me, and unimportant to this post, it went bye-bye. Ho hum.
Fast forward to June 2011, and I get this email in my inbox from a polite stranger by the name of Linzy May Mahoney, who tells me she's looking to publish a new Los Angeles edition under the Edible Communities umbrella. (Did you know there are around 70 of these awesome hyper-local magazines all across the country? Even having worked with them before, I had no idea!) So Linzy introduces herself, tries to win some points (successfully) by telling me she loves Sriracha and my cookbook, and asks if I'd be interested in writing about beer for her new publication, Edible Westside. Naturally, I said hell yes.
How could I not? She was so passionate about wanting to highlight the brilliant artisans, great home cooks, dedicated farmers, and talented chefs, bartenders, and retailers that are continually working to shape and redefine our thoughts on eating and drinking. And as the name implies, Edible Westside would be focusing heavily on the west side of Los Angeles, in neighborhoods with pretty exciting culinary culture, like Santa Monica, Venice, Marina del Rey, Culver City, and Malibu, among others. I was definitely in.
For her inaugural issue, which just launched on March 1, I wrote a focus on wheat beers, explaining the use of wheat as a beer ingredient and several styles that typically use it. In addition, I put together a little cheat sheet that gives a brief overview of wheat beers made in and around Los Angeles including Golden Road Hefeweizen, Craftsman Heavenly Hefe, TAPS Hefeweizen, Manifesto Eagle Rock Wit, El Segundo White Dog Wheat IPA, The Bruery Hottenroth Berliner Weiss, and Ladyface La Blanche Wit. The entire article, and actually the entire magazine, can be read for free right here: Edible Westside, Spring 2012 issue.
(And if you're after a physical paper copy, here's a map of Edible Westside distribution points that shows where you can find one around town.)
It's been really incredible to see how much work she's put into this, and I've loved watching the whole thing come together. It came out looking absolutely stunning, and I couldn't be more proud of Linzy. I mean, seriously… she started a friggin magazine! And I'm super stoked to have had the chance to be a small part of that. Now, I've gotta get back to writing; I've got a deadline for my sour beer article in the summer issue that will be out in June!

(P.S. It's worth noting that I also wrote a blog post for EdibleWestside.com back in November that was all about porters & stouts, with interviews from Rob Croxall, Bremaster at the El Segundo Brewing Company, and Victor Macias, a 13-year veteran of Pacific Gravity, the local Culver City homebrew club. Dig it.)

Minimal Bedding
Perhaps it's the aftershock of the Holiday Season, but lately we're craving peace and quiet in the bedroom. That's why we're totally into clean, simple bedding to support our mission for more R&R in 2011. These six inspirational bedrooms all feature effortless bedding we feel would guarantee some seriously sweet dreams.
Jonathan Adler chose white bedding when designing The Parker hotel in Palm Springs, letting the leopard bench and bold, red chair take center stage. Even if you don't have the need to showcase vibrant art or furniture in punchy hues, a minimalist look when choosing bedding is also complementary with neutral tones, allowing for a true sanctuary in the bedroom.

By now millions of Americans have heard about COINTELPRO. COINTELPRO was the FBI's evil and illegal system of spying, lying, telephone wire taps, frame-ups and assassination that violated the constitutional and human rights that they claim to uphold. I was recently asked, while doing a Black Panther Party historical tour in Oakland, how COINTELPRO affected me personally. Here is one of my stories.

Can you hear me, I'm just going through a tunnel....
Huawei is apparently planning to give away the kit necessary to connect up the London tube, with O2 and Vodafone paying for installation the underground could be covered by the Olympics. The Chinese kit supplier will make money maintaining the systems, and will get a decent foothold in the UK market by supplying the hardware …
Can you hear me, I'm just going through a tunnel....
I wish they would burn this particular contract - one of the few good things about tube travel is that you haven't got some prick braying into his mobile phone at full volume.
no, you just have the constant "intus intus intus" of the crap leaking out of the iPod.
(actually, I'm with you, but let's ban ipods too)
It is nonsense, isn't it?
The tube is a very noisy environment, and on the train you need both hands to hold on as the carriages lurch from one big of Victorian subsidence to another.
No message can possibly be that urgent. People need to grow up.
...have you ever considered listening to some of your own music rather than complaining about other people's?
You, my friend, have clearly never enjoyed the joys of tube surfing.
A very worthy sport, that should actually be part of the Olympics. Beginners would do well to practice on the Jubilee Line Extension, as some of the smoother rides are there. A step up to some gentle lateral motion on the DLR (no idea why they sway from side to side in a straight line, but you can get your eye in while relying on the computer controlled acceleration) before you're ready to join the big boys on the Circle Line. As the trains jump from track to track, it makes for some exciting competitions that truly separate the men from the boys!
As a daily rider of the Circle line, and a daily stander-upper - your post rings very true.
Good fun watching people on it for the first time who don't even consider the possibility that all the hand-bars are there for a reason - until it's just too late
Well the Chinese got money to throw around.
But I swear murder rates on the tube will climb especially during the summer.
An the temperature will also rise on the tube, with all those hot phones being use.
An what am I meant to say when the boss trying to phone me, being on the tube was such a handy excuse. An much better than the truth.
This has to be the worst news ever, there is no need whatsoever for there to be mobile phone access down there, its miserable enough down there without having to put up with other peoples inane wittering, I predict trouble ahead.
Glad I moved out of London.
we're glad too.
"No contracts have yet been singed". I should hope not. Health and safety risk.
I'm sure they'll be able to recoup any losses by selling all the data they sniff back to the Chinese government
I'll be wrapping my mobile in tinfoil on London trips.
Glad I wasn't the only one thinking along those lines...
Mine is the one without an HTC in the pocket
Sorry, just don't see the need, I much prefer the tube without idiots shouting down their mobiles.
They are handy for those of us who live past the ends of the tunnels.
As the train leaves the tunnel, the mobes all get a signal and start chirping, neighing, playing 'Sweet bloody Child of Mine' etc. etc. and wakes up those who managed to nod off.
When can it ever be so damn important to talk to someone that it can't wait 5 minutes or less and the person involved can get off the underground first.
.... Bueller.... Bueller.... anyone....?
How about when you are about to lose your job because you have been stuck in a tunnel for 2 hours, again.
Nobody will do voice calls anyway, much too noisy, but being able to text and email would be a god send.
Oh yes they will.
That's like saying that nobody has a chat in a pub because it's much too noisy.
They'll shout.
Such a generous gift, and who better than a company so well connected to China's military to put up the kit and handle the maintenance of the mobile communications network in a major financial centre...
If it looks too good to be true... caveat pauper
.... that the Chinese only do something for "free" when they can make money out of it.
And what happened tot he directive a little while ago [18 months pr'ahps] that BT had to stop using Chinese stuff ? I know this is not BT, but why must BT stop and others to carry on ? Frankly, this is all a bit suspect for me and I'm sure there is a better way than the Chinese way.
Helping develop the economy of yet another backward nation I see.
Anyone prepared to bet on the length of time (to the nearest minute) between the service being turned on and an iPhone being shoved down its user's throat?
Deep-level tube tunnels, connectivity, iPhone. Why am I beginning to giggle?
O2 and Vodafone should remember what happened to BT when they took up a too good to be true deal with this company.
Huawei do not have, nor are ever likely to have any security accreditation status in the Western World, and the use of their equipment in a public network would automatically cause the network to loose any security rating it had.
BT have had to build a separate non-Huawei network to allow them back into the government market, and they still are not trusted in certain quarters.
Who the hell would be daft enough to give Beijing an off switch to our telephone network.....
They probably will be though, in these tight economic conditions.
Personally I agree the best reason for not doing it is that we don't have to listen to other peoples calls on the tube. Why do we need it, and if you are working for someone who'll sack you for being stuck on the tube, you really are in the wrong job.
To make a phonecall...
I have to turn up my music (whilst using supposedly noise cancelling ear phones) and shout when talking to someone face to face. Having a proper phone call would be next to impossible, nevermind the fact that 20+ people around you could listen in...
3G data down there will be a plus, assuming it has the capacity for that many concentrated people (I suspect it won't during rush hour) but phone calls will be an irritating disaster of biz-twats yelling at each other down their Buttberrys 3 inches away from you.
London Underground had an offer to do this in 1996 but balked at it due to half of the stations within the central 'bottle' being non-commercially viable. 'Huawei' bought the technology which was part of the original 1996 offer so its not entirely some Chinese bit of dodgy kit - its good old British dodgy kit !
The deep tube sections of the rail network do not have enough space to put the RF cable in the tunnel and not foul the passing trains so some lines at least are safe.
I'm not worried as people will soon learn they cannot talk easily with all the background noise and I predict the noise level will reduce as more people sit silently texting and emailing.
Do we want mobile phone coverage on the tube?
Is it completely unrealistic for Londonders to be asked about this?
The tube is very noisy - the only conceivable way for people to use their phones will be to shout over the noise of the train.
The trains are also very crowded, especially during rush hour - do we really want people shouting in our ear whilst being crushed up against them?
How many phone conversations are so important that they couldn't bear being made in ten minutes time after leaving the train?
We are already in touch with each other vastly more than any previous generation. They survived without the ability to communicate at absolutely any time. In fact they might be said to have turned out slightly more interesting communications as a result of actually thinking about them a bit first. Some were even longer than 140 characters!
More importantly they weren't shouted in my bloody ear.
I don't know. Do we need it? Do we want it? Should we think about this before rushing headlong into it? Should it be a decision entrusted to BoJo or should the people who actually travel on the tube be asked to decide?
Inevitably there will be some cash changing hands behind the scenes. And not to the benefit of 'the likes of me'.
Give us a bloody referendum. It's not hard to arrange. It just might not give you* the result most likely to line your pockets.

People use mobile networks for things other than voice calling these days. Text messages are not exactly a recent invention nor is mobile internet access, all of which can be done in an appropriate degree of silence.
You're assuming that because people COULD call on an already deafening tube, they'll automatically want to. In my experience, people don't make phone calls on a packed and noisy bus, so why would they do it on the tube?
"People use mobile networks for things other than voice calling these days"
Like remote detonation?
Horribly good, in fact.
Frighteningly good.
Given I got a signal 30m underground in a cave deep in rural China, I'm sure they can handle the tube in London without too much trouble.
Whilst it might not be the end of the world if you're unable to continue nattering into your phone for the entirety of your journey, it CAN be a big deal if you find yourself stuck on the train due to [signalling faults/stalled train ahead/runaway engineering trains/insert TfL excuse of the day here] unable to contact the person waiting to meet you when you get off the train.
And considering how brain-shatteringly loud it gets on certain parts of the deep tube network, I doubt it would take long for most people to learn that attempting to continue a voice call once the train is on the move would be an exercise in futility.
Over the past year or two I've travelled a bit on the Paris Metro where you CAN use a mobile. But it's a completely different experience. Conversations are conducted at a very low volume and this is in a train that's much quieter (non-steel wheels) than the Tube. A friend there tells me that Parisians take an exceptionally dim view of ill mannered users of mobile phones. In fact they take an exceptionally dim view of ill manners generally.
Of course how your typical east end chav's response to being asked to 'tone it down' would be is anyone's guess. If they activate mobile use on the Tube I'll just use it even less than I do now.
Funny old lot the French...
> Parisians ... take an exceptionally dim view of ill manners generally.
Except their own, of course. Vive l'exception parisienne...

> Over the past year or two I've travelled a bit on the Paris Metro where you CAN use a mobile. But it's a completely different experience. Conversations are conducted at a very low volume .., Juan Inamillion
It's one of the benefits of using the Tube that mobile phones don't work there. I was on the bus across from a chap who conducted his side of the conversation in like manner, very low volume . If only the rest of the population followed suite. But no, it's invariably some chav carrying on some inane conversation, who is under the impression they have to YELL into the microphone in order to cover the broadcast distance. Myself, I'm going to invest in one of those devices that disable mobiles nearby. Now where can I get one ?
I work with the French, in a French speaking central African country [where I am right now, in fact...] and I have to say, I have never meet a collective with less social grace, good manner and sense humility than the French.
Being English, we do like to poke the occasional jibe at our Teutonic cousins, but compared to the French abroad, the Germans are a veritable delight.
French, manner ?
You're 'aving a larf!
but what has this got to do with the olympics?
Surely this would increase the risk of bombs that are detonated using mobile phones?
Please, please, make it text/data only! (And an exception for emergency calls would be sensible, I guess).
OK, so most twats will realise quite quickly that calls are probably not possible, but it won't stop all those bloody phones ringing constantly, often loudly, and often with some loud, annoying, shitting "tune"?
Worse, in many cases, the culpret won't even be *able* to turn it off, even if they wanted to...
Personal mobile phone blocking bubbles whilst travelling on the tube, for all, soon, I predict! ;)
...as anyone who's used public transport in recent years will be able to attest to. It's a rare journey indeed if I don't hear at least one "yoof" working their way through their collection of ringtones by hand, phone volume turned up to the max regardless of how much distortion it creates. And then, having finally exhausted the delights of the ringtone list, they then move onto the alert tones...
But that aside, as I and others have already mentioned, the tunnel sections of the Underground network generally suffer from a lot of background noise, so the chances of being able to hear a ringtone above the squealing, rattling, clattering etc. that is the usual audible accompaniment to a trip on the tube is pretty slim. IME pretty much the only parts of the network where the ambient noise is low enough such that ringtones and voice calls would have the potential to be annoying are the overground sections - i.e. those parts which already have cellular coverage.
Aside from the issue of do we want to use mobiles etc down there.
Do we have money for this?
Kit free, but the maintenance is not going to be cheap.
Last time i looked TFL had problems paying for much need upgrades to help congestion, delays, signal failures etc.
So London tax payer, pays for shit we don't really need/want.
Or in this case, Chinese. Given the track record of the Chinese government when it comes to cyber-naughtyness, this is a bit on a par with KGB Systems Ltd. offering to install a free new phone system for GCHQ!
I presume this £100M contract has been through the EU compulsory competitive tender process?
... the Chinese govt have anything to do with Huawei. The Chinese have found their way - communism with capitalism that profits from other states. It's genius, and they know that this is only about profit.
Anyway, is the plan for this still to be a 'roaming' network? Or will I still be on my actual carrier when I'm down in the choob?
... Trojan Horse, that is. Now not only will GCHQ and Echelon be listening in to London phone traffic, but also the Second Bureau of the GuoAnBu!
Why would they gift kit that can be sold for millions of pounds/dollars/whatever unless they were snooping, it just doesn't make sense.
Huawei is run by Ren Zhengfei, former PLA officer and Communist party member and has been investigated ans subsequently found to be a security risk by the US, UK and India. I'd say that the odds are that Huawei are dodgy.
.. no, please, no.

We finally left the steamer Empress yesterday morning and have set up camp not far from the river. The Empress is a larger class boat than the Argonaut or Hastings that brought us from Cincinnati to Paducah. Nonetheless conditions were just as crowded on board.

NEW YORK (AP) — Duncan Sheik is part of an unusual campaign on Kickstarter: Not to get his musical "American Psycho" up and running. It's to make it killer.
The Almeida Theatre in London has already agreed to mount the world stage premiere of Bret Easton Ellis' novel this winter but Sheik wants to give it a $150,000 infusion.
The Kickstarter campaign, which ends May 24, will go to fund things like more musicians, better sets and top-notch lights. As of Thursday morning, it had raised $78,830.
"This allows us to up the ante in terms of what the production is going to entail," the Grammy- and Tony-winning singer-songwriter said. "I think it's about being able to do things in the space that make for a really cool immersive theatrical experience."
The 1991 novel — made into a movie starring Christian Bale — follows a homicidal New York yuppie named Patrick Bateman who is obsessed with high-end clothes and beauty products even as he slashes his way through Manhattan. Bateman also fancies himself a music critic, but spews out mostly inane ruminations about Genesis and Huey Lewis and the News.
The book for the stage version was written by playwright Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa and will be directed by Rupert Goold, the Almeida's artistic director. Sheik has penned music and lyrics for 14 original songs, including "You Are What You Wear," which can be heard on the crowd-funding site.
Regardless of whether it meets its Kickstarter goal or not, there will be one more workshop in June. Rehearsals begin in October, and the musical will begin performances on Dec. 2.
Sheik says the show — co-produced by the 325-seat Almeida and the Headlong Theatre company in association with David Johnson and Jesse Singer for Act 4 Entertainment — will have a budget as much as seven times the Kickstarter goal.
Goold, who recently staged Patrick Stewart's Stalinist "Macbeth" and a thrilling "Romeo and Juliet" in New York, said he is looking forward to "bringing this extraordinarily iconic, yet funny and indeed deeply complex book to the stage at the Almeida."
The project has given Sheik, who had the 1996 smash-hit single "Barely Breathing" and is the songwriter of the Tony-winning musical "Spring Awakening," a chance to delve into '80s electronic music.
"This allowed me to take my love of drum machines and analog synthesizers and different kinds of technology and really get much more deeply into using those as the compositional tools. It's been something I've wanted to do for a long time and this was a great opportunity to jump in the pool," he said.
He has reached out to Tears for Fears, Phil Collins, Lewis and New Order for permission to use their songs, too. He hopes the show might then make it to Broadway — but first it has to be a hit in London.
"Of course, I think it should come to New York, but I also know we have to get it up onstage and have it be this amazingly mind-bending experience for the audience for it to deserve to make that journey across the Atlantic."
The use of Kickstarter to supplement a production is unusual. Most who tap the crowd-funding site — actor and writer Zach Braff raised $2 million to fund a follow-up to "Garden State" and Rob Thomas got $5.7 million to finance a movie of "Veronica Mars" — do so to get their projects off the ground, not to augment them.
Sheik has plenty on his plate besides "American Psycho." He has been working on musical adaptations of "The Nightingale," ''Because of Winn-Dixie" and "Alice in Wonderland," as well as plans for a new album.
He recently tweeted the song list for the new CD, an act he admits was as much for him as for his fans: "It forces me to get it done," he said with a laugh. "There's a method to my madness."
'American Psycho' creators turn to crowd-funding

Every guitarist has that one special guitar that they wished they had back. It might be because it was a sentimental gift, maybe it was sold to pay the bills, or maybe you just didn't realize how much you loved that guitar until it was gone. These are the stories of the ones that got away. Most of them are my own stories, but send me your stories as well and they just might get published here.

1972 Yamaha FG-450
As always, I am on the lookout for cool stuff at pawn shops, thrift stores, swap meets and anywhere else I happen to be poking around. I am not a diehard, every day junk picker, but if I see a good spot and I have time I will definitely pull in the parking lot and see what's lurking in the corner somewhere. Quite awhile back I posted a story about finding a seriously beat up vintage Yamaha FG-160 at a local thrift store for $25. After cleaning it up and fixing a few things, it turned out to be an amazing sounding guitar.
Well, fast forward to this past weekend and, after walking into a local pawn shop, the first thing I spied was an old Yamaha looking right at me...calling my name. I walked over and picked it up and, sure enough, it was another one from the early '70s. A very rare and very high quality Yamaha FG-450. I didn't really realize just how nice it was at first...I was too busy finding an employee to get a price. The lady informed me that it also came with it's very nice original hard case. We did a little haggling and eventually I walked out the door with my new baby. Maybe the best $130 I've spent on any musical item. Yep, that's right...only $130. A true bargain.
My original intention was to get it home, put some new strings on it, and sell it on Craigslist for a decent profit. However, after restringing and sitting around playing it for awhile, it became more and more obvious that this guitar wasn't going anywhere. What a beauty! The sound rivals any of the finer acoustics I own or have owned in the past. This just might be, dollar for dollar, the best guitar I've come across. I say dollar for dollar because I am lucky enough to own a really nice, expensive handmade acoustic that just can't be beat. But I paid dearly for that guitar and it will be with me 'til I'm a goner. But for the money, this FG-450 is one heck of a guitar.
I should add a few details here: this guitar features a spruce top with jacaranda back and sides with a mahogany neck, and has an ebony fretboard and bridge...all this according to the Japanese Yamaha instrument website. The site is mostly in Japanese but you can figure it out and find what you are looking for.
The great thing about these old Yamahas is that they really did a great job with the serial numbers and records. It was super easy to find out that this guitar was made on June 20th, 1972 at the famous Nippon Gakki factory in Japan and was the 350th guitar that the factory built that day. Love it. Try getting that accurate on most any other vintage guitar and you'll be out of luck.
Prior to finding that old FG-160, I had no idea that these old FG's have quite the cult following in the guitar world. I was at home with this FG-450 and thinking that there was no way I was going to sell, but making myself list it on Craigslist anyway just to gauge the interest. The first email I got about it was from an FG collector who let me know how rare this model is and how badly he wanted it...if only he had the extra cash. I'm glad he didn't because I probably would have ended up selling it for a little extra Christmas money and regretted it later. After a couple of other emails from interested folks I took the ad down, wrote back to them and told them I had changed my mind. This one is staying with me...at least for now. I have learned to never say never when it comes to guitars, but I have a feeling this one will be with me for awhile.
UPDATE: It is now a number of months later and I finally talked myself into getting serious about selling this guitar. Sometimes you just have to pay your unexpected taxes! I listed it back on Craigslist and, after a couple of times relisting the guitar I got an email from a great guy who was interested in finding a great guitar for his dad for a gift. We met up, he inspected the hell out of the guitar...from top to bottom, every single inch, giving me an education in the process. We made a deal and I think we were both very happy. He loved the beautiful sound this guitar makes and really appreciated the craftsmanship of this 40-year old instrument. He is in the Navy and headed out for a tour of duty in Afghanistan shortly, so I wish him the best and am honored to have met him. A real great guy. Hope your dad enjoys the guitar as much as I think he will.

text: They look like residential grade C-band and Ku-band dishes with LNB- type feeds to me, am I missing something? *Transceivers* typically have a lot stouter cable or waveguide going to the feed, might have radiation symbols on the feed housing along with printed warnings not to get between the feed and the dish, and often a fence around the dish to keep people out of the near field. Those dishes are on GEO-style mounts, without az/el servos as far as I can tell, and C-band and Ku-band GEO sat uplinks tend to require pretty respectable amounts of power, and usually rather noticeable precautions are required for safety on those. (The mobile uplink truck a friend of mine used to operate used a stack of two 600W TWT amps to get to sat uplinks on Ku-band analog.) Nice KTI mesh C-band dish, though, wouldn't mind getting hold of that if I had room in the backyard .. :D On May 9, 2008, at 12:06 PM, Stargate wrote: > I wish I was in a position to buy these but I thought someone on > here might > be. > > http://www.govdeals.com/eas/itmdisplay.cfm?itemid=330&acctid=345 > > I have no connection to this site or the item, I just thought it > might make > someone a good uplink/downlink > system. > > Heck, I don't even know what frequency their for:-) > > 73's > > RoD > KD0XX "There is hardly anything in the world that some man cannot make a little worse and sell a little cheaper, and the people who consider price only are this man's lawful prey." -- John Ruskin

All British, all our products were made in the lovely Cotswolds.
Our aim was to offer truly sustainable products with the lowest carbon footprint we could manage but they must all be beautiful, practical and really affordable as well. There is no need to live with anything other than beautiful things around us even going into a low energy world and these improve our feeling of well-being and encourage us not to replace things. We intended all our products to last 'a lifetime'.
Our Brand Ethos document explains what we do and why we do it.
Tranquility Project
Details of the Tranquility Project will be added here. Meanwhile information regarding it can be found on the old Tranquility Project site'.
Tranquility Information
Many documents explain the various products, why they are what they are and in the case of the flooring – how to lay them, what to lay them on etc. etc. The product Home pages introduce the products and give links to the documents relevant to the product.
The majority of the information covers various subjects which are all to do with the environment in one way or another, written by Mike and published through this web site. All are intended to be relatively easy reads and the newest is the Climate Book Series, designed to work through some of the significant parts of the book which will be published when the series has covered sufficient elements. There are also Papers going through many low Energy housing solutions where you will also find Papers covering national issues on energy production. There are further Papers on Climate, Population, Economics, Politics and other environmental topics. (Note: if economics seems unrelated to the environment – fast economic growth consumes the dwindling global resources ever faster, and the Political system has shown itself to be quite unable to grasp anything environmental at all).
Mike has no vested interest in almost anything he writes about, and being interested only in the truth nothing is slanted to prove a point or drive readers to a certain viewpoint. Integrity is king, and if anything can be shown to be incorrect we will publish the correction.
Above all else, if you read something anywhere – first ask yourself if the writer had an interest in the subject. Don't believe anybody selling anything unless shown to be true and please note marketers pick only the bits that sell their products.

The unofficial ChevronWP7 unlocking tool enabled side-loading on pre-NoDo Windows Phone 7 devices simply be providing the same kind of dev-unlocking you would get if you paid $99 for a developer account. While the tool was taken offline in January pending the talks with Microsoft, unofficial mirrors kept hosting the tool. When the NoDo update was pushed to devices, the tool became useless, as it doesn't work on NoDo.
And now we finally have a solution for people who want to side-load applications onto their post-NoDo Windows Phone 7 phones. The ChevronWP7 team will soon relaunch the tool, but this time with the full support from Microsoft, so you won't have to worry about the device re-locking itself after an update or sync. Unlike the previous version, this one won't be free - it'll require a small fee to cover ChevronWP7's costs.
I'm quite happy with this move. A small fee is acceptable, and it will enable homebrew developers to go wild, outside of the controlled nature of the Windows Phone 7 Marketplace. This will open the door to some serious WP7 hacking, but without the fear of being shut down by the next update. Developers who were previously wary of hacking WP7 will now jump on the bandwagon.
This leaves Apple as the sole smartphone operating system maker actively blocking homebrew. Palm's webOS has always been open to this, and HP is continuing this trend. Recently, several Android smartphone makers - no doubt pressured by Google - have announced that they will no longer lock down their devices. Symbian has always been open to this, so this means only Apple is actively blocking homebrew.
