Outfoxed shows Bill O'Reilly airing a critical e-mail and defending himself from it:
O'REILLY: Paula Evan, Winston-Salem North Carolina: [LETTER GRAPHIC] "Bill, if you are so concerned about public figures being bad role models for children please stop rudely interrupting your guest and telling them to shut up!"
Well the "shut up" line has happened only once in six years, Miss Evans…
Immediately following this, Outfoxed plays a montage of 7 additional clips of O'Reilly saying "shut up" in contradiction to his claim that he has only done so once.
The truth however, is that O'Reilly's response to the e-mail scolding him to stop telling his guests "to shut up" is accurate. In the first 6 years of the O'Reilly Factor, there was only one instance where Bill O'Reilly told a guest "to shut up". As shown below, Greenwalds montage of "shut up"s jump in time to The O'Reilly Factor's 7th and 8th year, a clip not from The O'Reilly Factor and include moments where he is merely saying the phrase "shut up" and nottelling a guest to do so.
As throughout the film, director Robert Greenwald gives the audience no attribution or context to the footage being shown, allowing him to mold it to fit the various arguments he wishes to make.
The footage of O'Reilly responding to the e-mail chiding him for telling his guest to "shut up" is from The O'Reilly Factor on November 15, 2002.
Only 2 of the following clips took place before Nov. 15 2002, and only one of them show O'Reilly "interrupting [his] guest and telling them to shut up".
QUOTE: I'm asking you to shut up about sex…
WHEN: Sept. 24, 2002
CONTEXT: O'Reilly asks homosexual guest Derek Henkle why he was so public about his sexuality.
QUOTE: Shut up. Shut up.
WHEN: Feb. 4, 2003
CONTEXT: During a discussion with anti-war protester Jeremy Glick, O'Reilly expressed his offense at some of Glicks comments, which O'Reilly perceived to be anti-American and offensive. Glick interrupted and continued to talk over the host and in response was told to shut up.
QUOTE: Why did you have to tell them you were an atheist if you didn't have any trouble reading the oath, why didn't you just shut up?
WHEN: Oct. 30, 2002
CONTEXT: O'Reilly asking atheist Eagle Scout, Darrel Lambert why he volunteered the declaration that he is an atheist when he was content with saying the Boy Scout oath, saying "I want to quote this—'On my honor, I will do my best to do my duty to God and to my country and obey Scout law,' on and on and on and on. I mean, God's in the first 10 words. So – why did you have to tell them you were an atheist if you didn't have any trouble reading the oath? Why didn't you just shut up?".
QUOTE: What Jimmy Carter should do is privately give Mr. Bush his opinion and shut up publicly. That would be best for the country.
WHEN: Feb. 18, 2003
CONTEXT: In the Talking Points Memo segment that opens each edition of The O'Reilly Factor, Bill opines that former President Carter's public statements against the Iraq war are inappropriate and harmful to the country.
QUOTE: And it is our duty as loyal Americans to shut up once the fighting begins.
WHEN: Mar. 3, 2003
CONTEXT: Outfoxed cropped the video to delete the rest of the sentence O'Reilly actually said, thereby change the meaning. The full quote from O'Reilly was:
"And it is our duty as loyal Americans to shut up once the fighting begins, unless—unless facts prove the operation wrong, as was the case in Vietnam."
QUOTE: Once the war against Saddam begins we expect every American to support our military and if they can't do that – to shut up.
WHEN: Feb. 26, 2003
CONTEXT: During the shows Talking Points Memo segment, O'Reilly opined that while the country is losing blood and treasure in combat, it deserves support from the citizens, elaborating that "Americans, and indeed our allies, who actively work against our military once the war is underway will be considered enemies of the state by me."
QUOTE: [crosstalk from Al Franken saying "No no no no no no"]: "Hey, shut up! [Franken: I don't have to shut up] You had your 35 minutes. Shut. up."
WHEN: June 1, 2003
CONTEXT: On the much publicized C-Span book expo, Al Franken exceeded his speaking time limit without challenge, alleging (dishonestly) that O'Reilly lied about winning a Peabody award. During O'Reilly's allotted time to defend himself, Franken interrupted saying "no no no no no no", and O'Reilly shot back as shown.

I awoke this Caturday to see news about a tragic and terrible fire in nearby Oakland. At this point there are 9 confirmed dead and approximately 25 missing. If there's one thing I truly fear, it's fire. Our hearts go out to the families of the victims as they wait for news.
The fur people have been enjoying the windows more these days. The mulberry trees that gave us so much summer shade have been pruned heavily for winter. That makes the windows sunnier to the delight of the pointy eared people who soak up every sunbeam they can find.
Our weather has turned rather cold (for us) and the heaters are working hard at night. No rain for a while, but soon we hope. We didn't make any day trips this last week as other chores got in the way. However, Lastech has been taking a few pics here and there.
See ya next week

Seattle Engagement Photography: Suryn+ShawnSunday, April 22nd, 2012
On a rainy winter Seattle night, Chris+I met up with Suryn+Shawn at a Seattle Starbucks to discuss their wedding in more detail. I remember getting really amped up for the meeting because I was extremely excited about their wedding location. This August, Suryn+Shawn will tie the knot in Leavenworth, WA at The Sleeping Lady resort. Chris+I had previously shot a wedding here before and we just fell in love with this place. However, after we talked and chatted over coffee with Suryn+Shawn, we fell in love with them even more.
We were definitely excited to work with Suryn+Shawn after postponing our initial shoot due to rain (Seattle…figures!). They arrived at our first location, Pioneer Square, looking prim, cute, and super nervous. And as luck would have it, the Sounder's game had just let out. Meaning…loads of people were walking around in the area. It didn't phase them though, and as these pictures show, they totally brought their A game. There's this vulnerability about Suryn that's hard to describe in words. But her eyes are fierce, her smile is mesmerizing so it's no wonder Shawn is crazily in love. And well…Shawn…I mean…just look at that smile! These two made our job that day so easy, so we can't be more excited to work with them again on their wedding day. For now, take a peek at their engagement photos below.
Check out more of their engagement session below in their awesome slideshow! If you're on an iPad or iPhone, you can watch the video here.

No longer working with JARM
Major differences of opinion... I feel I can't accomplish anything to help the animals there any more. Don't worry I will still be coming around with rescue critters! Got a farm full of them now for sure. I will be working with other organizations. Yellow Jacket and I are also thinking about taking this farm back to it's original purpose which was to have horses, including some rescue horses, and get involved with therapy riding for handicapped kids and adults. Just don't whine at me about JARM any more, it ain't my problem any more. That's all I'll say about it. Karen Wilkins

WASHINGTON (Jul. 16)
A former member of the anti-Semitic German-American Bund who gave up his American citizenship to serve Hitler would be re-admitted to the United States under the terms of a special bill passed by the Senate on the recommendation of the Senate Judiciary Committee. The German is Alfred Theodor Ex, whose re-admission is being arranged by Congress despite a Justice Department recommendation that he be excluded because of pro-Hitler activities.
Following approval of the bill by the Senate it was sent to the House. Senate Judiciary Committee chairman William Langer personally introduced it. Despite the fact the Justice Department report on the German urged his exclusion, the bill passed the Senate without any opposition from Sen. Pat McCarran who claims to be the principal opponent of the admission of totalitarians.
The Justice Department report on Mr. Ex said that "on June 4, 1946, he admitted in Berlin that he had been a member of the German-American Bund from 1929 to 1937, that he had held office in that organization in 1937, and in 1941 he received a certificate of German citizenship." The Department also pointed out that Mr. Ex, "on June 20, 1946, was convicted by a summary military government court in Berlin of knowingly making false statements to the Allied forces."
After studying the case the Justice Department concluded that his re-admission would not be desirable, saying that "when it seemed to serve his purpose best, he renounced U.S. citizenship and embraced German nationality." It is despite this Justice Department report, however, that Congress is acting to expedite the admission of Mr. Ex.

Past Reviews
Regional Reviews: Seattle
One cannot approach attending a production of Eugene O'Neill's epic American tragedy Mourning Becomes Electra without a bit of trepidation. When it premiered on Broadway in the early thirties, to fairly wide-ranging critical acclaim, it was over six hours long and, even pared down to three hours plus two intermissions, Mourning is still one of the longest day's journeys into the night of the soul in all of American theatre history.
Happily, ACT's departing artistic director Gordon Edelstein has created a beautiful Mourning. Edelstein's editing work is impeccable and his pacing is brisk. The cast, headed by stage and film legend Jane Alexander, sinks its teeth into O'Neill's melodramatic account of the Mannons, a family so tortured and tempestuous that Hellman's Hubbards in The Little Foxes seem like The Waltons in contrast.
Based on the Greek tragedy The Oresteia, the play is set 1865 New England where the Mannon family should be celebrating the return of father Ezra and son Orin, but instead is enveloped in one tragedy after another. Ezra's wife Christine has been seeing sea captain Brant, whom daughter Lavinia fancies for herself, and who turns out to be a not so distant relation of the Mannons. By act one's end the news of his wife's infidelity, and a little bit of poison in place of medicine, has knocked off old Ezra, sharpening Lavinia's talons for revenge against her roaming mother and the captain. In act two, Orin returns home for his father's funeral and is caught between two versions of how the old man died: his mother's version and and that of his sister. Suffice to say, he ends up believing his sister, seeking vengeance on the captain, and driving his mother to suicide. Act three depicts the children's vain attempts to find salvation with a kind, if rather dim, brother and sister they've known since their youth. All of this occurs under the watchful eye of a faithful family servant who can do nothing to delay the fall of the house of Mannon.
If the plotting and some of O'Neill's dialogue now seem as creakily soap operatic as a rerun of Dallas, Edelstein's cast compensates handsomely. Jane Alexander (as fine a stage and screen actress as any who have succeeded in both mediums) gives a virtual master class in great acting in her showy role as the Mannon matriarch and even infuses some wicked humor at just the right moments.
Mireille Enos has the more difficult role of Lavinia, who has comparatively little dialogue in the early going, as she torments and accuses her mother with icy silences. If Enos seems a bit too young and contemporary at the outset she compensates with a stellar third act, in which Lavinia mimics many of her mother's mannerisms and her elegant style of dress. Steven Sutcliffe is striking as Lavinia's shell-shocked soldier brother Orin, who finds a worse battlefield at home than any he encountered in the military. Liz McCarthy is notable as Hazel Niles, playing Orin's would be amour as a sort of northern version of Gone With The Wind's Melanie, whose sweetness and gentility mask a rather steely spine, and Jason Cottle does well with the less strongly developed role of her brother. Clayton Corzatte is effortlessly captivating as the family gardener Seth, whose eerie renditions of the folk song "Shenandoah" pervade the action, while Michael MacRae as Ezra Mannon, and Thomas Schall as Capt. Adam Brant score with less stage time.
The production's design elements are equally impressive, starting with Andrew Jackness' clever interlocking wall and doorway units which start as an expansive jigsaw puzzle of a mansion and end with a tight little box in which Lavinia plans to entomb herself. Jennifer Tipton's lighting design is tastefully understated, Paul Tazewell's costumes are handsome and detailed period recreations and John Gromada's original music and sound design suitably underscore the drama.
Talkin' Broadway's east coast readers may sample this production for themselves, as Edelstein, who is taking the reins at New Haven's Long Wharf Theatre very shortly, will be remounting it there, with Alexander's stunning performance as its centerpiece.
Mourning Becomes Electra runs at ACT through May 19. 2002. For more information visit their web-site at www.acttheatre.org.- Guest Reviewer David-Edward Hughes

EU group takes small steps toward recovery
Finance ministers in Brussels leave the bigger decisions for another day
Published 8:09 pm, Tuesday, November 13, 2012
BRUSSELS — European finance ministers inched toward strengthening their banking sectors and the management of their economies at a meeting in Brussels on Tuesday, but put off decisions on comprehensive solutions to the region's financial crisis.
Weakness in the banking sector and inadequate monitoring of national budgets were among the prime causes of Europe's three-year crisis, which has seen several countries struggle with too much debt. Fixing those areas is crucial not only to ending the current crisis but also preventing a repeat.
European leaders have agreed, in theory, to cede significant amounts of sovereignty to fix those problems. As part of this plan, the European Central Bank will be put in charge of all of the banks in the 17 countries that use the euro by as early as next year. And they have proposed giving the European Commission, the European Union's executive arm, the power to review and even reject their national budgets to prevent against overspending.
But actually implementing those ideas has proved difficult. Germany, for instance, is wary of ceding control over its banks while Britain is nervous that a coordinated eurozone banking sector will have a greater say in discussions over regulations that apply to all 27 nations of the EU. And several countries are concerned about the voter backlash that would be sparked by handing too much power to the commission.
After months of heightened activity over banking and economic oversight — a move that markets and investors have largely welcomed — it seems the EU has now put on the brakes while it hammers out the details.
Austrian Finance Minister Maria Fekter said, for instance, that creating a single supervisor for all the banks may require a time-consuming treaty change. That would knock the EU way off its timeline of getting a supervisor at least partially in place next year.
"I don't want to speed up without having discussed the best solution," she said. "Speed kills when we don't have the best solution."

After a very brief dry spell in Cincinnati this spring, overnight thunderstorms were still looming through the morning of the University of Cincinnati's Commencement ceremonies, but they cleared out just as the morning ceremony got underway.
Even better, the sun was shining brightly after the morning ceremony, allowing for family photos of graduates as they took one last look at UC's spectacular campus before setting off on their lives as UC alumni.
UC's Fifth Third Arena was filled to capacity for the celebrations, as 4,843 students applied for graduation this spring.
"As our newest alumni, each of you will make your own mark in our world. Today opens a promising new chapter in your life journey – a journey that brought each of you to UC with your own story and circumstances," he said.
|UC President Gregory H. Williams
"Class of 2011, your graduation today is mostly a beginning for a new stage of your life as someone fortunate to attain a college education, an education that means much more to you and your community than a mere job or career," said President Williams.
UC alumnus John F. Barrett, chairman, president and CEO of Western & Southern Financial Group, addressed the graduates at both ceremonies, encouraging them to believe in the power of their dreams. "To dream and then study hard – use your skills and open the door to great opportunities, both in your professional and personal lives."
|John F. Barrett
UC's spring ceremonies also celebrated the Doctoral Hooding and Master's Recognition Ceremony on June 10.

PSN Summer Sale 2012 begins today
Is the massive heat wave that's engulfing most of the country also burning a hole in your wallet? If you're a PS3 owner, Sony has a solution to your problem: The 2012 PSN Summer Sale.
Beginning today and running through next Monday, July 9, the PSN Summer Sale offers up some sweet discounts on 11 PSN titles. PlayStation Plus subscribers get 50% off each title while regular PSN users get a still awesome 30% off.
Here's the full list of Summer Sale titles:
Gotham City Impostors
The House of the Dead III
InFamous: Festival of Blood
Jurassic Park: The Game
Killzone 3 Multiplayer
NBA Jam: On Fire Edition
Real Steel
Shadow of the Colossus
Worms: Ultimate Mayhem
Jurassic Park, Red Dead Redemption added to PS Store
Following Microsoft's lead, Sony has reorganized the PlayStation Store into PS3 Games (titles that were first released as disc-based games) and PSN Games (titles exclusive to the PS Store). Best of all, on the first day of this new store setup they've made one of the best disc-based PS3 games ever available to download. I refer, of course, to Red Dead Redemption.
The original redemption of John Marsten, as well as his cowboy antics battling the undead hordes in Red Dead Redemption: Undead Nightmare, are now available to download for $39.99 and $19.99, respectively.
meanwhile, the new "PSN Games" storefront will receive three new games on its first day of existence:
Jurassic Park: The Game ($29.99)
Security systems have failed and the creatures of the park roam free. Now, a rogue corporation will stop at nothing to acquire the embryos stolen and lost by Dennis Nedry. Experience a brand new adventure and see new areas and dinosaurs in this landmark game set during the first Jurassic Park movie.
Hollywood Squares ($9.99)
Play with friends and family on the famous tic-tac-toe game board occupied by "center squares" Kathy Griffin, Brad Garrett, Martin Mull and Jeffrey Tambor! Host Tom Bergeron asks the celebrities questions, and you judge whether the answers are true or false.
BurgerTime World Tour ($9.99)
BurgerTime lives again! This culinary classic used to rip quarters from your pockets. Now it's back but in Next-Gen form with 3D graphics on a rotating cylindrical axis in a whole new burger world. In fact, 4 new worlds! And 50 levels, four gargantuan boss characters, and up to 4-players, online!
Finally, a new PSone Classic, Vanguard Bandits, will be added to the PS Store. The availability of this JRPG has surely broken the hearts of eBay sellers everywhere as it's been selling on the auction site for $100-$200.
To get the full flavor of this week's PlayStation Store update, including more details on these games and all of the new add-ons, head on over to the PlayStation.Blog.

Get Jurassic Park: The Game for free if you sign up for PS Plus between 11/1 and 11/8
Sony has spared no expense when it comes to the free games available to PlayStation Plus subscribers, but the latest deal is bigger than a hungry T. Rex.
That's right, anyone who signs up for a 12-month PlayStation Plus membership between November 1 and November 8 will receive a free download of Jurassic Park: The Game. The best part is that Telltale's retelling of the events of the first movie (from the perspective of an InGen team searching for the dead Dennis Nedry) will be yours to keep even if you let your PS Plus subscription lapse.
So if this deal sounds too good to be true, hold on to your butts and sign up for PlayStation Plus today. You'll also be in line to receive November's free game, Hydrophobia Prophecy.

The dinos get bitey in new Jurassic Park trailer
The dinosaurs featured in the latest Jurassic Park trailer are hungry. Like, really hungry. Thankfully, nobody pulled a Gennaro and stopped to take a leak.
Are you prepared to run for your life from a raptor or stand still as a T. Rex breathes down your neck? We'll all get to find out together when Telltale releases Jurassic Park for the Mac, PC, PS3 and Xbox 360 on November 15.
Clever girl… Jurassic Park sneaks into stores on November 15
Did that headline conjur images of a pack of Raptors silently circling Muldoon in the aisles of your local game store? I hope it did.
Anyway, Telltale Games has told the tale of Jurassic Park's release date to IGN. The game will be released on November 15 as a retail game disc for the Xbox 360 and as downloadable episodes on the PC and PS3. The entire game will be on the Xbox 360 disc and all episodes will be able to be downloaded at once on the PC and PS3. That means it's not really an "episodic" game, but whatever.
An iPad version is also in the works, but Telltale was not ready to discuss a release date for it just yet.
Jurassic Park launching on PC, PS3, Xbox 360 in Fall
PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 owners, prepare to say "Welcome to Jurassic Park!" this Fall when Telltale's episodic game launches on the consoles as well as on the PC.
The game, which takes place concurrently with the events of the first movie, will be released simultaneously across all three platforms. PC and PS3 players will be able to obtain the game episodically through download services through services like Steam and the PSN while it'll be available on the Xbox 360 as a disc-based game. Although, how that translates into a "simultaneous" release may require some magic on Telltale's part.
I'm sure it'll involve somebody holding onto their butts.
Jurassic Park delayed on PC/Mac, multiplatform launch coming Fall 2011
Last month we posted an in-depth dev diary and confirmed that Jurassic Park: The Game would have an April release date for the Mac and PC, with console versions coming later in the Fall. Telltale is scrapping that schedule, instead opting for a simultaneous multiplatform release later this year. This doesn't seem to be an arbitrary decision, with the company genuinely wanting to make the best game possible:
We see a ton of potential in the game's exciting mechanics and style and feel we can take what we already have in place to an even more thrilling level, so we've decided to continue work on the game and launch the PC/Mac version of Jurassic Park: The Game to coincide with the our multiplatform release in fall 2011.
As an apology to those who pre-ordered the first full season on Mac or PC, Telltale will refund your money and send you a voucher for a copy of any Telltale game you wish, regardless of whether you want to wait and use it for Jurassic Park later in the year.
Jurassic Park: The Game is coming to PC, Mac, Xbox 360, and PlayStation 3.
The dinosaurs return in new Jurassic Park dev diary with Telltale Games
I haven't kept too close an eye on the upcoming Jurassic Park: The Game, but hearing that signature music come on in this trailer actually gets me pretty excited for it. It seems you couldn't have picked a better studio than Telltale, as the team describes collaborating with paleontologists, details the impact the reptiles have in gameplay, and overall just reminisces about that first time seeing Jurassic Park. The episodes will begin rolling out in April for Mac and PC, with console versions due out in September later this year.

Etymology of Democracy
Democracy is defined as a kind of system of government in which people select leaders through votes, and a democracy attempts to give equal rights for everyone, though in practice this is not what happens (as of 2016).
At least, not perfectly (but then again, is it really fair to expect a human-made system to be absolutely perfect?).
Instead, democratic capitalism often becomes the norm.
The word democracy comes from the Ancient Greek demos (the people) and kratia (rule, strength, power).
Demos + kratia create the Greek word demokratia (democracy, or literally, the rule of the people or the power of the people or the strength of the people).
In Medieval Latin: democratia.
Middle French: démocratie.
Books about Democracy
A small curiosity: people who search for the etymology of democracy often do so because they are attempting to genuinely understand what democracy really is, and where it comes from.
A worthy undertaking if I've ever seen one. If you're such a person, I recommend checking out the following books:
- Robin Osborne's Athens and Athenian Democracy
- Peter John Rhodes' Athenian Democracy
- John Thorley's Athenian Democracy
- Hamish Aird's Pericles: The Rise and Fall of Athenian Democracy
Other interesting reads include:
- Cornel West's Democracy Matters
- Kenneth Janda's The Challenge of Democracy
- Alexis de Tocqueville's Democracy in America
- Greg Palast's The Best Democracy Money Can Buy
Democracy is actually a fairly complex topic and even these few books won't give you all the available information, but they're a great start.
Murray, John. An Etymological Dictionary of Modern English. 1921.

Boxing Myths: Where Are the Facts?March 30, 2010
As there is suddenly a ready made market for it in Pacland, authors feel justified for such bias, cynicism, and shoddy claims.
Boxing writing is in trouble and filled with increasing amounts of biased and partial inflammatory rubbish.
Writers are doing their best to incite hatred, through unscrupulous, unsourced claims, and constantly trying to convince the world to back "their guy".
However, there is a new sheriff in town.
You know how it is, there is always the "super fan" of one fighter, who continuously writes writes annoying, misleading articles about rival fighters, to either try and stoke up mutual dislike, or plainly, to feed his own ego.
It is corrupt, as if right and wrong no longer exists, or fact and fiction no longer matters.
Bad writers now feel vindicated, protected and it is my job to expose them.
I am going to cut through the cronyism and start showing you, what they are doing.
For today's lesson, lets take a look at, "Manny Pacquiao Puts the Heat on Floyd Mayweather, Jr." by Bill Cody.
"When word came down today from HBO that the Manny Pacquiao-Joshua Clottey fight did 700,000 buys, you could hear Leonard Ellerbe smashing furniture in his office in Las Vegas all over the country. "
I'm sure Cody could work for a top rank public relations' firm with a statement like this.
Especially seeing as the same writer has been telling us for weeks that it would "do over a million".
" That's because there's no way his fighter Floyd Mayweather, Jr. will be able to demand a 65-35 split in a proposed fight with Manny Pacquiao in the fall without coming across as a chicken."
Floyd Mayweather has never made any demand whatsoever for 65 percent of the purse, although the author has made this claim eight separate times, in eight separate articles—many times when it has no reflection at all on the articles context.
He has also never once provided any source or evidence for his claim, which makes me think it is fake.
More than likely, Cody continues to write it in every articles, as he's trying to create a false web rumour to vindicate Manny Pacquiao, if he does not end up taking the fight.
I challenge the author to provide any actual source to the claim that Mayweather has demanded 65 percent, other than himself.
The truth being, he continues to push the false claim, as "coming across as a chicken," is the exact image he is trying to set up for Mayweather, should the fight not happen.
"And Floyd has already declared that that's what he will be looking for in any contract negotiations in the future."
Other than claiming on a radio interview that Pacquiao, "may lose a couple of million," when he was asked, "what would be the scenario if the Clottey PPV bombed, and your Mosely fight breaks records?"
This statement is totally false and is backed up with no sources whatsoever.
"Of course, that demand was predicated on Money's belief that he would crush Pac-Man in PPV buys this spring, something that is very debatable now."
The demand is fictional.
The author hasn't provided a single shred of evidence, quote, or source, showing that Mayweather has demanded 65 percent.
Nearly all of my findings, after searching the web vigorously to find any source, fact, or vindication to back up the authors consistent claim that Mayweather, "has made demands for 65 percent of the purse,"were either from this author's articles, articles that source these articles, or fan posts which source these articles.
The only actual reference I can find to, "Mayweather demanding 65 percent," other than these articles, is a Boxingscene.com forum post, dated November 2009, claiming that Mayweather had demanded 65 percent in the original negotiations.
As history tells us, the truth is that it was actually 50/50, and the fight fell through because neither party could agree on drug testing.
Nothing remotely financial.
I'm starting to believe that this claim is based on little more than malicious fan rumours and is hardly high journalistic ethic.
HBO is predicting over two million dollars in Pay Per View sales for the Mosely vs. Mayweather fight and many think it could possibly break the all time PPV record.
I think it's quite obvious that it will sell double, with the Pacquiao vs. Mayweather fight at the bare minimum.
" Those factors are:
1. Mayweather's own lackluster performance against Juan Manuel Marquez last September. It was a real stinker."
Again, as usual, I struggle to understand what these claims are based on. Other then blind hatred.
Mayweather vs. Marquez sold for 1.25 million dollars and most people who bought it considered it a boxing masterclass.
Floyd has sold over a million PPVs with his last three opponents, and will quite obviously do that, and more with his fourth.
2. Shane Mosley's less than stellar ability to put any fannies in the seats during his career. Sugar Shane only draws when he's matched with someone who draws.
I actually agree with this even though he gets the point hopelessly wrong.
Shane Mosely is no draw.
He's only sold a million PPVs once in his entire career and that was against Oscar.
He has spent the vast majority of his career fighting for bum cheques, as he can't sell.
The author, once again, probably through blind hatred, fails to accept that Floyd Mayweather is without doubt, the biggest PPV draw in boxing at the moment, and maybe of all time, if he sells over 1.5 million PPV's against Mosely.
3. The lack of any either fighter to excite some of boxing's core audience groups. Like any kind of entertainment boxing has certain age and ethnic groups who make up its core audience.
I put this statement down to show basic lack of knowledge, mixed with an attempt to justify a point he can't possibly make.
Boxing's core audience are American fighters and American viewers.
It's as simple as that really.
" Neither Mayweather nor Mosley regularly bring in Latino, Asian, or English fans unless they are fighting Latino, Asian, or English fighters. Those are three very big audiences that will be MIA for their bout in May. "
Again, this statement has a real lack of knowledge.
Quite surprising, but ultimately true, Mayweather has a big Mexican following.
He has even been known to turn up to events wearing sombreros, to thank his fans there.
Mayweather also has a by far bigger audience in the UK than Pacquiao.
Mayweather sold 850 thousand PPVS in the UK alone for the Hatton fight, more than the entire PPV sales for Hatton vs. Pacquiao.
The author is probably guilty of getting caught up in hype, and letting his ego override actual facts.
I think he is just making up "facts" to back up a cynical, pre-planned point.
The point he is trying to make is, even though Pacquiao, in general gets nowhere near Mayweather PPV sales, he is in fact a bigger draw.
The Asian PPV audience is absolutely tiny.
It's not even worth talking about.
China, Singapore, and Japan have no interest in boxing.
Malaysia, Philippines, and Indonesia have a greater interest, but are third world countries.
The Pacquiao vs. Clottey PPV had less than 50 thousand sales in all of Asia.
Bob Arum originally, inadvertently claimed that it was 25,000 in fact, when he accidental let it slip out that he was expecting, "25,000 sales to be added to the total once one of our markets comes in."
That market being Asia, which always gets added last to totals.
Creating a mixture of blind faith, and total bias, just to make a series of completely wrong points.
"Mayweather better pull out all the stops in the upcoming 24/7 series. Because even with all its hype, Mayweather-Mosley will be lucky to edge out Pacquiao-Clottey in terms of PPV buys."
Again. Gobsmacked.
I struggle to understand how a featured writer can seemingly ignore all fact and reason to come up with points like this.
There comes a point when you surely have to rise above whether you love or hate a fighter.
Take a straw poll across all boards. The vast majority of fans think that the fight will easily clear one million sales.
Sorry Arum, It's just a given.
There is absolutely no chance whatsoever it will sell less than one million, let alone 700 thousand. HBO's own estimates are that it could well make over two million.
For various reasons that I will go into later on, ESPN states that they think it could even threaten the two and a half million PPV record.
"That will not be enough to make any great demands on Pacquiao's camp during negotiations.Which means if Mayweather ends up demanding 65-35, he'll end up losing the battle with Pac-Man in most people's eyes. Even if the two fighters never square off in the ring."
Again Arum, even in this article alone, this is the third time you have tried to re-assert the false, unsourced, unquoted claim that Mayweather has ever made any demand for 65 percent of the purse.
You seemingly, inadvertently explain away your motives, in the exact same sentence.
"H e'll end up losing the battle with Pac-Man in most people's eyes. Even if the two fighters never square off in the ring."
In continuing to claim that Mayweather has demanded 65 percent of the purse, with no quotes or sources to back any of this up, (as it simply never happened outside the mind of the author) aren't you just trying to give the "moral high ground" to your guy Pacquiao, if the fight never happens.
"Mayweather was demanding 65 percent. Manny was right to not fight the chicken on those terms. He's trying to price him out to duck the fight. Role on Pacquiao versus the dry dusty bones of Jake LaMotta, for 500k ppv sales".
Provide one, single source, to back up your completely false, misleading claim that Mayweather is somehow demanding 65 percent of the purse in future negociations.
What is this article actually about?
A writer trying to re-affirm, the totally false, unsourced, unquoted claim, that Mayweather is demanding "65 percent of the purse," in an attempt to try to give the moral high ground to his hero, Manny Pacquiao, should the fight not happen.
And to not place any blame to his own guy, ss the fight has quite obviously not happened for the sole reason that he won't take any drug tests.
Nothing financial.
The fight won't happen in the future due to drug testing, not purse demands.
Something the author knows, hence his crusade, to continually try and spread around the net, the false rumour that Mayweather is demanding 65 percent of the purse.
So I implore you, the author, to please submit the source material which you are basing your claim on, so it can be rightly scrutinised for it's authenticity.
If you are unable to do this, please stop stating this as fact, on a web site that credits itself for accurate and professional articles.
Fact. Truth. Reasoning.
These have no place in boxing writing now.
As long as authors have 3,000 people from one country telling them how right they are, they feel justified.
The crime being that new fans to the sport actually take claims like, "demanding 65 percent of the purse," as fact.
Something the author probably realises.
I challenge the author to respond, with factual, sourced information, to counter any of my own retorts
The Sheriff has spoken.
1/4 update.
In reply to Victor, 13, from conneticut.
Pacquiao's legacy is different, depending on whether your a fanatic of his or not. Most sane fans realise he has either lost, struggled, drawn, or got a lucky decision in most of his legacy fights, against peak, HOF opponents.
Morales 1, Marquez 1 and 2, Barrera 2.
What's more, he's criminally ducked Marquez for a number of years. As well as refusing to fight Mosely and Mayweather recently.
You'll get away with claiming he's "Top 10 all time" on sites like this. As in places that are flooded with Paclanders to sooth your ego. You'll be laughed out of the building in any none-partisan place, that the Phillipines hasn't found yet.
Pacquiao and Mayweather are both somewhere between 20-30 of all time. Only way either will break the top 20, is if one beats the other.
Once the hype dies down, and you guys move on to another "idol" to worship, there isn't a chance in hell Pacquiao will be rated higher than Mayweather, unless he beats him. Especially if/when Mayweather whups another HOF guy in Mosely.
Why? Pac's lost most of his "legacy" fights. Against the real elite, peak, HOF guys.
Mayweather has whupped them all.
You may be able to convince fellow Paclanders that a peak Morales or Marquez, was actually a tougher opponent than say Mosely or Coralles. And that's why he got whupped.
Anyone with a brain realises that Mayweather has beaten Morales/Marquez level opponents with ease.
By the way, please answer with actual facts. Not your usual
"Pacquiao Legacy as the best of all time. Mayweather legacy as a bum"

Sorry North American Subaru WRX fans, but some new models have been announced for Japan, along with a limited-edition for Australia, none of which will be making it state-side. First up is the Australia-only, only 300 of which will be made. This is the four-door WRX sedan, available in black and a new tangerine orange paint scheme, leather trim, black 17-inch wheels, along with a black STI spoiler and side mirrors. The WRX Club Spec will only be available in manual transmission, which you should be wanting anyway if you're buying a car like this.
As for Japan, two special edition WRX STIs have gone on sale this month. The first is the sedan model of the WTX STI spec C, inspired by the hatchback version that was released back in 2010. This spec C sedan comes with stiffer suspension, a turbocharger offering better efficiency, and an all-aluminum hood. The 2010 model's 2.0 liter turbocharged engine continues to offer 304 horsepower, but its torque has been increased to 317 lb/ft.
Next up is the WRX STI A-Line type S Package. This one comes with the 2.5 liter turbocharged engine that is used in the U.S. models, except it comes with an automatic transmission. God only knows why. The A-Line type S Package also includes new Alcantara seats and trim inside, and new 18-inch wheels from BBS. I'm digging that bright orange color, especially for the interior trim, but I'm not a big fan of the sedan body style. Any other WRX fans out there with thoughts on these models, or are you more interested in Subaru's new rear-wheel drive BRZ?

You know it's going to be a good night when your kid looks like this before a meal:
My other guy takes it a little more seriously…..he knows what's coming.We all love Happy Hour night at Tutta Bella pizza. So much so that when the pizza came, I forgot to take pictures this time. I love that there are enough high chairs in the restaurant that every table could bring a toddler and they'd still have more. There are always great pizza and salad deals between 3-6pm (Everyone in our family loves the Beet Salad!). And thank goodness they give things like pizza dough and Wicky sticks to keep us all entertained.
My guys love it so much that tonight when I made dinner, Leelee wanted to drive "back over there".
Why Leelee? Didn't you love the food your mommy made you? The food I tried not to burn, or make too spicy, or too funny textured, or too funny looking?
"NO. No like it."
Instant heartbreak.
And that is why I prefer restaurants and take out. Thank you Tutta Bella Pizza for making food my kids like even when I can't….

Commissioner Edmonson held a press conference regarding the approval of variances in Overtown parcels
MIAMI, FL - Surrounded by members of the clergy, the developers and Overtown residents, Commissioner Audrey M. Edmonson announced today approval of developers for the long-vacant parcels in Overtown known as Sawyer's Walk. At a press conference held at the site of the historic Lyric Theatre, Commissioner Edmonson said an agreement had been reached on the County's approval of variances on the two properties which clears the way for the City of Miami to work with the developers.
The item championed by Commissioner Edmonson at the Oct. 22, 2013 meeting of the Board of County Commissioners (BCC) will ensure that the Community of Overtown, as well as the County, are protected. Then Commissioner was joined at the press conference by the developers, All Aboard Florida-Stations, Overtown Gateway Partners, and Gatehouse Development who will now work with the City of Miami Southeast Overtown and Park West Community Redevelopment Agency (SEOPW CRA) in negotiating an agreement.
"I strongly believe that the revised variances result in the best return to the County and Overtown residents, and provide assurance that long-awaited development on these parcels will start and be completed on time," Commissioner Edmonson said. "The original variance requests submitted by the CRA for Blocks 45 and 56 were unacceptable overall to me because I felt that they didn't sufficiently compensate the County for the right to develop the property and that they could potentially delay the projects longer.
"Therefore, for Blocks 45 and 56, I facilitated an increase from the original $2.75M to $5M up front monies for the County to be used solely for Overtown redevelopment and Overtown community development," Commissioner Edmonson said. "In addition, the County will receive $3 million over 10 years, between the developers, which will be invested in the Overtown community, based on recommendations from a Committee made up of community stakeholders. This will help to ensure that community benefit funds will be allocated appropriately. I required that the County retain oversight over these funds."
The proposed development will include more than 200,000 square feet of retail, a 150-room hotel, 1000 parking space, and 200 residential housing units, including affordable units. The terms approved by the County Commission include upfront payments to the City of $2.75 million and to the County of $5 million. The Commissioner also required contributions from the developers to a Community Benefits program, which will provide for $3 million over the next ten years for the Overtown community. This will result in over $8 million to the County for Overtown redevelopment and development projects. This will also ensure continued investment and job creation for the Overtown area and provide much-needed parking spaces for the Lyric Theater and the International Longshoremen's Association. The CRA will now need to approve the revised variances to the Settlement Agreement, and negotiate development agreements with each of the developers.
"I am proud and of what this means for the Overtown community. These developments will be the catalyst for a sustainable community where people can live, work and play. This joint effort between Miami-Dade County, the City of Miami and the CRA is long awaited. This is something we all can be excited about."

Point Break was directed by Academy Award winning director (The Hurt Locker) Kathryn Bigelow and was produced by her then husband James Cameron……….
Which is funny because Point Break is loosely based on the Ken Nunn novel "Tapping the Source" a film Vince from Entourage turned down in order to do Aquaman with director James Cameron.
The kid who sells Johnny Utah his surfboard looks eerily similar to a young Kristen Stewart from Panic Room.
The Point Break time line is incredibly accurate with the exception being Johnny Utah and the Ohio State Buckeyes actually lost to USC in the 1984 Rose Bowl. Utah would have played with NFL All-Pro Chris Spielman and NFL Hall of Famer Chris Carter.
The actor who played Bohdi's brother Grommet/LBJ also played Brian Austin Green's drug dealer in 90210
John Philbin, who played Nathaniel/Jimmy Carter, was an accomplished surfer before the film and he actually taught Kate Bosworth how to surf for her role in Blue Crush. (via Wikipedia)
Matthew Broderick and Val Kilmer were both offered the role of Johnny Utah before Keanu accepted the role. THANK GOD they said no. (via IMDB)
Latigo Beach, where Bohdi and the ex-presidents liked to surf is located in Malibu.
Point Break was the second movie Swayze and Reeves did together, the first was the hockey film Youngblood with Rob Lowe.
None of the filming of Point Break took place in Australia, but they did film in Oregon and Hawaii.
It is sad that traveling to Australia wasn't in the budget because Bells Beach Australia (the site of the 50 year storm) was actually listed as the world's first surfing recreation reserve.
According to the Point Break timeline the previous 50 Year Storm happened in 1939 the same year WWII began.
The Fast & The Furious plot is ridiculously similar to Point Break's.
Red Hot Chilli Peppers lead singer Anthony Kiedis makes an appearance in the movie as part of War Child's gang. Tom Sizemore also has a cameo as DEA Agent Deets.
Point Break was Kathryn Bigelow's highest grossing film until 2012's Zero Dark Thirty.
Reeves and Swayze gave the above interview to promote Point Break. Keanu took the time bash other 1991 films Robin Hood and Backdraft.
Production served Swayze with a cease and desist letter after jumping out of a plane over 30 times during filming. Like a bad ass Swayze obeyed the letter till the film moved to Hawaii to shoot more scenes. (via E! interview with Keanu)
Swayze was so nuts about skydiving that he actually badgered Gary Busey until Busey gave in and agreed to go with him after filming. (via Moviefone interview with Busey)
Keanu, who had never surfed before the movie, enjoyed it so much he still surfs today.
Bigelow and Cameron, married at the time, had a show down at the box office with Bigelow's Point Break and Cameron's T2 Judgement Day being released within weeks of one another. Cameron won the head to head match at the box office in 1991 and the couple divorced shortly thereafter. However in 2009 the two squared off again at the Oscars for Best Picture. Obviously Bigelow won round two.
Utah and Bohdi's relationship is the first modern day "bromance" on film. (via Encarta 95)
While coming up short at the Academy Awards, Swayze and Reeves were both given MTV Movie Award nominations for "Most Desirable Male." Keanu took home the award.
For unknown reasons the Ex-Presidents didn't honor Gerald Ford's presidency as they decided to go with the masks of Reagan, Carter, Nixon, and Johnson skipping over the late President Ford.

Hi all
I'm building a commerce site on D7 at the mo and I have a views & taxonomy question. I have a created a hierarchy taxonomy to tag the products and I'm using the view 'Taxonomy term' that comes default with Views to display the products. So far so good. But I need to group the products by taxonomy terms. Now for the spanner in the works! Most nodes have several Child Taxonomies from different Parents assigned to them. So I tried adding the Taxonomy field to the view, excluding it from display, and using it to group the view. But I don't see a way to filter this field so it only groups by the Child Taxonomy related to the Parent its grouping under. For example, I'm trying to achieve something like
Fruit (parent)
-Apples (child)
--Golden Delicious (node1)
--Pink Lady (node2)
Colour (parent)
-Red (child)
--Pink Lady (node2)
-Green (child)
--Golden Delicious (node1)
By grouping by taxonomy terms I end up with something like
Fruit (parent)
-Apples, Red
--Pink Lady (node2)
-Apples, Green
--Golden Delicious (node1)
Colour (parent)
-Apples, Red
--Pink Lady (node2)
-Apples, Green
--Golden Delicious (node1)
I've tried changing the settings on the Taxonomy field under Multiple field settings but to no avail:
• unchecking 'Display all values in the same row - gives me multiple results
• changing 'Display All Values' to 'Display 1 value' solves the problem under 'Fruit' but I loose the colour taxonomies under 'Colour'.
I also tried approaching this from another perspective. I created a Taxonomy View of the Taxonomy Terms and a Node View of the Products with a term id contextual filter. I then added the Node View as a field to the Taxonomy View using the module Views Field View. While this technically worked, it does add a bit of overhead to the view. It also creates a problem with the length of the views result as the pager only counts the results in the Taxonomy view - so while I can set that view to display only 5 results, each taxonomy term could have 20 products - so I could end up with 100 results!
Can anyone point me in the right direction? I've Googled the living daylights out of this one and I can't seem to find the right answer. I have a sneaking suspicion that the two views set-up is the right way to go, but the way I have done it is not the best solution.
Sorry for the long email
Thanks a mil
Hi Frank, I have done
Hi Frank, I have done something similar except it was for an estate agency website.
I had to create country > county > area > city
The best way I could figure out to do this was to create each as an individual vocabulary for the 'category' and only one layer of terms for the 'items'. So that for every 'fruit' term you create (apples, oranges, etc.) under the vocab 'Fruit' - you also create a separate vocab for that term, with its own set of terms describing the type.
Then I just created an autocomplete widget (to allow easy select and addition) field for each vocabulary as a term reference on my node.
Then used a View with each of those term reference fields along with an exposed filter for each field.
For your needs, you could probably just create a filter (select field) for each vocabulary to allow filtering your node by any nodes that have just that term associated to it.
Vocabularies and terms
voc: Fruit
-- term: Apples
-- term: Oranges
-- term: Bananas
voc: Apples type
-- term: Golden Delicious
-- term: Pink Lady
voc: Oranges type
-- term: Tangerine
-- term: Clementine
voc: Color
-- term: Red
-- term: Orange
-- term: Yellow
Node Fields (term references)
field_oranges type
(you could then use dependencies to show/hide each field depending upon a 'parent' field)
field_oranges type
exposed-filter-(field_oranges type)
This should allow you finer control, especially when used with dependant fields, although a little extra work. It will also allow you to do things like only show the color selection when 'apples' have been chosen (because who wants a tasty red banana, right?)

Can I Insulate My Older Brick Home
Insulation Tips for Older Brick Homes
Many fine older houses are made of brick. They're stately, imposing, and often in nice old neighborhoods with mature trees and a storied history. Additionally, people often think that since brick is so much easier to care for than wooden siding, brick homes are a better idea than a home of a similar age, made of wood.
With regards to home maintenance, they may be right. But they tend to overlook one important factor– brick homes have their own challenges.
It doesn't take a homeowner long to notice that brick holds the heat in the summer, and the cold in the winter. It can often be quite drafty, and often rooms take in an impenetrable chill.
That's when homeowners start to worry. Is it even possible to insulate a brick home?
The Walls Might Not Be Your Problem
Although it might seem obvious that a cold room is caused by poorly insulated walls, it is not usually the case. Even if it were, insulating walls is a very disruptive task; expensive, time-consuming and messy. There are better places to start.
We usually recommend starting with sealing the top plate of the walls. You see, each room is like a sheetrock (or plaster and lathe) box, supported on the frame of the house and rooms. Unless extra steps have been taken, air can often move freely between the walls and the space above and below them.
Sealing Attics and Crawl Spaces
The air in attics and crawl spaces is unconditioned, and if it is able to circulate within the walls, however well or poorly insulated they are, it will affect the temperature of the living space within the walls significantly.
By getting up into the attic and sealing up the entire floor of the attic, you solve one very major problem: the updraft effect. The air venting out of the attic was pulling air from the whole house, from the crawlspace, to the living areas, and right out the top. Putting a stop to that will help your heating bill immensely. Since you're up there, thickly insulating the attic floor to modern standards will help 'heat transference'. Even if the air is no longer circulating freely, the warm air of your living area will be cooled by the cold attic floor, reducing the efficiency of your heating. A thick layer of insulation will prevent that issue.
Likewise, sealing the crawlspace will prevent your home from pulling cold out of the ground.
If you have questions about the best way to seal your house, Style Roofing can help. Give us a call to find out more.

Leave off the insults
Yes I know who Alfredo Castan is, And he is a registered and well respected Bujinkan Instructor.
I know nothing of his claims and wish to neither belive nor dis-belive what he says or teaches, That is for his students and individuals who know him well to decide, I have trained with many good and bad instructors, some honest and others very dishonest, my self like everybody else had to make an educated decision whether to accept what i was told, question the information, to stay or leave company. belive me, that is the hardest part.
Life is a journey and many times we have to take a tumble or stray on to a rough and weary path, to test what is known or to realise how incorrect things are or how better they could be.
I now still study Shotokan Karate with
Aikido,And Enshin Ryu & Katori Shinto Ryu Iaido.
Iam completly fullfilled with my studies and Iam commited.
I may have some conflict with Mr Castan he has rubbed my back up the very wrong way but I still uphold a certain amount of respect and Honour for Mr Castan.
Alfredo is infact registered and accreditered,Quite respected within the circle of Martial Arts.
I have investigated these allgations with contacts I have,Just as on my journey investigating,I have found many sites which personally attack the man.
The one thing I can say of Mr Castan....He is commited to The Bujinkan Dojo.
My only wish is he would contact me and maintain a diplomatic stance on our conflict so we can both move forward.

Personal Bodygaurd to the Spanish Imperial Gaurds
Mr Castan:
I was once a student of Mr Castan.
I was once Dojo Secratary.
I know Mr Castan in a most proffessional circumstances and I know Mr Castan as a freind and Sensei.
I have with my very own eyes seen his passport and id card which is no other than is id badge for that of the Spanish Imperial Gaurds,stating Personal Bodygaurd for the decorated officer of the Royal Gaurds of Spain.
I hope now coming from an ex pupil of Castan during the year 1993-1996.
This information is enough to satisfy your hunger for the truth.
Weather or not Castan commits himself to Ninjutsu and you dont respect that Art form or as to weather Mr Castan is commited to Iaido,etc.
Alfredo Castan Sensei,is preserving A Japanese Heritage,he is adhering to The Japanese wishes to preserve that history and passing it down to generations.
Respect his work.
Yes it is easy to become bitter,jelouse,It is the hardest to accept at times you may just be wrong.
Is truth not so much so important in Budo.
In the famouse words of Miyamoto Musashi:
'People tend to steer away from the truth they do not like the truth,never settle for anything less than the truth.

The following review was written by guest contributor Sam.
Ghost in the Shell takes place in the year 2029 AD; cybernetic terrorism is at an all-time high and a group known only as section 9 are designed to take on the biggest cases. A counter-terrorism cyborg leader known as the "Major" (a female robocop with enormous boobs) is called in when a mysterious entity known as the "Puppet Master" starts hacking into cyborg bodies. Section 9 becomes very concerned by these events as they are comprised mostly of cyborg cops who talk quasi-telepathically to each other.
Section 9 learns that this hacker terrorist may use an unwitting cyborg host to listen into a special government official's meeting, and the hunt for the Puppet Master ensues. Some anime movies have only animated art design but Ghost in the Shell exceeds in art direction while successfully utilizing CG throughout. With an R-rating, plenty of naked boobs, and some great violence but at times, the movie can drag a bit despite being a more serious execution for an anime.
Steven Spielberg purchased the rights to make a live-action adaption of this film, purportedly to be filmed in 3D. Let's hope Spielberg's version is as good as the original movie, if not better.

They are really nice and helpful. But what clean means for them is not really clean for real. There is not hot water at all, there was even problem with the water at all. No sink in bathroom, no water in toilet (the word "bathroom" should not be used for the thing which is next door at all).
But what else should you expect for such a price...

Alienware sort of ready for Windows 8 upgrade
by Fuad Abazovic on25 October 2012
- font size decrease font size increase font size
Six systems will work, but with issues
Windows 8 launches tomorrow and many of you would be willing to spend $39.99 for the upgrade, or at least consider upgrading your existing PC.
If you just purchased a new, qualified Windows 7 PC between June 2, 2012 and January 31, 2013 based on Windows 7 Home Basic, Windows 7 Home premium, Windows 7 Professional or Windows 7 Ultimate you will be able to upgrade to Windows 8 PRO. You can find some details here.
It's funny to see that Microsoft endorses touch screen despite the fact that most monitors and noteboks out there don't feature touchscreens, and the upgrade of a screen to support touch on existing notebook is almost an impossible task.
Alienware lists six systems, four of them being notebooks and has a lengthy list of what might not work after upgrade. Some machines like the Alienware M18XR2 won't have a single issue but owners of MX11R3 will end up with eight documented issues with a promise that some of these issues should get fixed before October 26th.
Dell didn't update its support page to let us know if these things have been fixed.
We are sure that other manufacturers face similar challenges and your Windows 8 upgrade might not be a walk in the park, it could result in some issues with the new OS.
You can check the Alienware support site here.
