Internet democracy
An Opte Project visualization of routing paths through a portion of the Internet.
|Internet portal
One form of internet democracy that might work better then representative forms is a place of participation in a online government that votes for ideas instead of people. To make it work you would have to make visible problems and solutions. The popular consent of voting and instant run offs could change everything and empower you to make the solution. The next benefit of internet democracy in this form is that selfless ideas of solutions that serve the greatest could out compete ideas that are selfish and close minded. Ideas are free and if we worked together on this project to solve our problems we would be able to accomplish what taxes and money have failed to by representing the needs increasingly costly elections and rich classes find this a way of control by incorporation, division, and conquering resistance through living in a security state.
A common definition of Internet democracy is using the Internet, and other Information Communication Technologies (ICTs), to further democratic ideals and forms of governance through "the Internet's information flow, augmented by ever increasing rainfalls of data, constantly alter[ing] people's knowledge of public affairs and more broadly the political relations of citizens within and between societies."[1] In numerous instances, social media sites, such as Facebook, Twitter, WordPress and Blogspot, are used heavily to promote democracy.[2]
One view by academic researchers and observers is that the Internet has molded politics into a global and universal phenomenon that assists in making consumers (i.e. citizens) more active "shoppers" of political messages and "goods."[1] However, the value of the Internet at truly improving democratic processes is heavily debated.[1] Many scholars and popular observers believe that the Internet just merely adds another avenue for the established powers, such as medial moguls, major executives in multinational corporations and other affluent individuals, to influence citizens because they "own" the Internet and affect its usage. [1] [3]
Some individuals believed that "Internet Democracy" was being attacked in the United States with the introduction of H.R. 3261, Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA), in the United States House of Representatives.[4][5] A Huffington Post Contributor noted that the best way to promote democracy, including keeping freedom of speech alive, is through defeating the Stop Online Piracy Act.[4] It is important to note that SOPA was postponed indefinitely after major protests arose, including by many popular websites such as Wikipedia, which launched a site blackout on January 18, 2012.[6] In India, a similar situation was noted at the end of 2011, when India's Communication and IT Minister Kapil Sibal suggested that offensive content may be privately "pre-screened" before being allowed on the Internet with no rules for redressal.[2] However, more recent news reports quote Sibal as saying that there would be no restrictions whatsoever on the use of the Internet.[7]

i find this video inspirational not because i wish i could sing or play guitar like him someday…but because his love for jesus is so evident…just watch it and you'll see wat im talking bout…when a love like that takes over and consumes you its amzing what it can produce…one day i hope i can do the same with words
Your welcome.
Neon Night Surfing
Too bad I can't surf, I would go straight to doing this.
Surfing during the day is so mainstream.
First we have fireworks during the day, and now surfing at night? Talk about flipping the world on its head.
in other news…
KEVIN PEARCE announced on december 8 that he will finally be getting back on his snowboard after attemtping a double cork(?)- a trick innovated by none other than shaun white himself- and then suffering from a severe traumatic brain injury….all i can say is boy that kid is one hella INSPIRATION!
Billabong Pipeline Masters-Highlights continued…
STUDYING for exams, doesnt mean i dont have time to catch up on some of the highlights from the pipeline masters…or more like all i have time for now is to copy and paste this link…but still legit shit right there again…know i always keep saying that but anyways here it is for all you busy studious students…ha yea right
its that time of year again…ASP SURF SEASON!
Yep. Its the only season of the year that matters-the ASP surf season. And theres not much to say except that first of all im a huge fan of CJ Hobgood, Kelly Slater- of course its kinda hard not to be flabbergasted watching any of his performances….but then ha theres this grom out there by the name of John John Florence…maybe its the hair or maybe its his amazing child prodigy like ability…can you say jelly much. Geesh can anyone else watch him and not feel like they could conquer the pipeline…nope guess its just me except i wont be trying any of these pipelines any time soon…thanks to my amazing skills…on my massive board!
writing just to write
theres been so much going on in my life…that sometimes i get these surges of powerful emotions, and this desire to write it all down, and this belief that it can all be written down. but these are also the moments when i am least able to write them down.
I still feel so alone most of the days and its not because i am alone, its because i hold all of these emotions inside of me now, my soul is desperately seeking to be understand but a large part of me no longer believes in humanity's ability to understand me. Its not to say that i am conceited or feel like i am the only one feeling this way, i just never feel like i can find the right time to express myself with my good friends, lately it just seems so burdensome to people, so i refrain. but i question how long i can last like this? it makes me miss hunter occassionally but the past is the past, somedays i dont even think to utter his name anymore, but other days i think of unburying the past. I miss him a lot with all my heart, but i will admit this because he was the closest i let anyone in.
This guy on my soccer team told me that being open is more than just being open- its all about your posture- you have to stand open, your chest your arms your entire being has to stand open- but i am not right now. Lately people have been annoying me sara especially and this girl michelle at my work, but i know is just cuz too much is building up inside of me. WHen god will i find that person again who can completely understand or better yet when will i be healed enough to let someone again? why so shy now? its not even like i got hurt that badly last year- and theta alpha is like this distant opportunity. maybe i should model lauren more and more and question if i really am getting anything out of theta alpha or am i just doing it hoping that it will fulfill what ive always wanted to be apart of? SHouldi be more decisive like luaren or should i follow what ive always done and just follow through endlessly? is lauren able to make these decisions because she is guided by You or is she just going in it alone like me following her own gut feelings?
if only i could do this to my dorm wall…
if this isnt the definition of grace…then i dont know what is
PS I know the music sucks…but thats not the totally important part right?

German Court Admits Mistake on OdinMS Lawsuit
No, the lawsuit was not fake. NEXON Corporation, the Korean-based branch, has been confirmed as the corporation who is filing the lawsuit against OdinMS. Matze confirmed in the post on Monday that the German court system (LG Hamburg) made an error in trying to make OdinMS pay a fifth of €441,20 (Approximately $69,694.84 USD) which is about $13,738.97 USD. That's a large chunk of money…although not as much as the total potential fine if OdinMS infact does lose. Here's the post from OdinMS.de.
Today we received another letter from the LG Hamburg confirming that we don't have to pay any court costs at the moment.
Since there were some misunderstandings before and most of our readers are most likely not fluent in German let me explain again what has happened so far:
- Our hoster received a threatening e-mail telling him to immediately take down our servers. We assumed this mail to be fake (which it may still be, but it would fit into the things that happened next) due to the style it was written in and the claim that OdinMS.de stole Nexon America's code. Of course our hoster did not take any actions after we told him our position on things.
- We received a bill from the Landgericht (LG) Hamburg which is a German district court about a civil action between NEXON Corporation (which is the Korean parent company) and me. It is a German matter because we and our servers are located in Germany.
We are unsure about the compentency of the court since we are over 800 km away from Hamburg (our hoster still more than 600 km) and we do not know of a NEXON Corporation subsidiary in Hamburg. In Germany you have to sue someone at his place of residence or if a tortious act is involved, at the place where the act has been committed.
The front of the letter (which you can review in the previous post) basically stated that I had to pay 441,20€ of court costs. The more interesting information can be found on the back where the calculation of the costs is detailed. It can be deduced that there are independent proceedings for the taking of evidence running right now, which are a pre-trial discovery, most likely involving an independent expert. Usually you get informed if such a proceeding is started against you but is possible that it is still in a very early stage.
The amount in dispute has been set to 350,000€. This is the amount of money NEXON Corporation is sueing me for. The court costs are calculated based on the amount in dispute and amount to 2,206€ for the independent proceedings for the taking of evidence. According to the bill I had to bear one fifth (441,20€) of those costs. The paragraphs mentioned there are only referring to the laws upon which the calculation is based and don't have anything to do with the claims NEXON Corporation has against us.
- Since it is quite unusual that you have to pay court costs before even knowing about the case I called the LG Hamburg to ask about the bill. After telling them the file number they immediately apologized and assured me that I don't have to pay anything at the moment. However this did not change the fact that the mentioned proceedings including the amount in dispute are real.
- Now we received the written confirmation of that telephone call. The letter is pretty much identical to the previous one just with the nullification of the court cost claim.
- There is a a civil action between NEXON Corporation and me currently in the independent proceedings for the taking of evidence
- NEXON Corporation wants 350,000€
- Currently I do not have to pay any court costs.
So, what do we know for a fact?
What is happening next?
Since we were not directly contacted by NEXON Corporation it is unlikely for this to happen now.
We should be informed about the accusation or receive a summons by the court. There is no set time for that.
How long will it take?
Legal procedures can take a very long time and are barely limited. It may very well take a few months until we get more information, we can't know.
What can you do to support us?
Nothing at the moment although we very much appreciate all of the demonstrations of your support we received via e-mail. Please understand that we intentionally disabled the possibility of commenting the blog entries to avoid any further risks.
We will inform you if we see a possibility for you to help us. For now all we can do is wait.

Damn i hate private servers. A good friend of mine on GMS deleted his char to start on a private server…
I don't understand why nexon is having such a fit.
Perhaps they should take the hint that the reason people are switching to private servers is due to the fact the cost of the 'nx' items are ridiculous. It's basically 5$ for a couple of pixels to dress your character for two months. And while the concept of 'nx' is an optional concept one can partake in, most users will find they are highly discriminated against if they do not 'look like an nx' user. And seeing as most of the players are young children and pre-teens, you can imagen that not following a trend, isn't an option, and online bullying is just as harsh as real life, if not, more dramatic for a child due to the fact 'online' fights are regarded as petty, therefore, the child keeps quiet. Kind of a silly repercussion of not being able to have nx…
Private servers allow people to have nx, high lever characters, and furthermore, have fun. GMs of private servers are friendly, helpful and actually HELP the players. Nexon has grown so large that is hardly pays attention to its users. It simply looks at is users like piggy banks it can occasionally get some bucks from. I prefer private servers as opposed to Maple Global server because I actually have fun and get to explore more. Plus, I have school, and a life, so leveling my character to a high lever user, isn't a feasible concept for me, so Private Servers allow me to explore and have a sense of achievement.
Most parents don't feel its okay to spend money on NX, so kids feel left out. Perhaps if nexon wants to eliminate competition it finds in Private Servers, they should probably improve their service.
I totally agree with Mae V, All of what this person says is true.
i agree with Mae V and also gms is lackin on their anticheat system, back before odinms was out you can see hackers in almost 1 out of 2 maps
well yeah basically what mae v said is 100% true, but in the end its up to the "users" to play or not to play, its not nexons fault that we play it. They just made a game and we play it. Like any other company that makes a product. Its OUR choice to buy, or use, or do w/e. If nexon doesnt want to it wont do anything, and nexon has the right to do w/e the hell they want with their "creation" of a game. that is all.
Well, yeah.. i tottally agree with everyone, cept for Q9R42.
To : Q9R42
Your friend had lots of reasons to quit.
1. Nexon sucks
2. Rates are too low
3. Cyber bullyin
4. NX Cash
Now, number 4 .
NX Cash makes users feel into the community.
But costs alot, and is limited.
Now Number 3 .
Most people don't know, but maplestory, has lots of smaller younger children, with feelings, nexon thinks their robots, paying money. Like wtf.
Now number 2.
Like Mae V. Said, you do feel good about yourself, you get this awesome new skill! Or something to wear, to make urself look cooler, and do more damage, encounter more then just victoria island.
We have lives, we cant train forever. Private servers change that.
Now number 1.
Theres nothing to say, all that proves that nexon sucks.
I say Boycott Maplestory, cuz i am.
Screw off nexon, no one likes you, this is just like RO!
They won't die, sue each of us, by the time we're done.. there will be plenty more, your just losing money.. go to hell.
I agree with SCREWNEXON, they're just losing money. also, we have lifes. f–king takes 1-2 weeks for level 30, right?
Hmm, lets move to a private server, level 100 in 1 week MAX, isn't it your dream to pass level 100? Duhhh, thats why P servers ROCK.
Free NX, high levels WITH having a life, ANNNDDDDD, the GMs actually CARE about us.
Nexon can go die in a corner, they just eat our money.
(Has spent over 300 bucks in only ONE months when Nexon cards came out. True story.)
This is not funny… :( i was a little stupid today… I made a private server, i reached 100 players and suddenly my CELLPHONE all of a sudden started calling from an out of district secret number (+555)Hidden number
and i heard a woman say: Hello, we are calling regarding case: [some case] blah blah. then i thought it sounded suspiciously amateur. and i said: do you think i believe you are really lawyers, why would you sue me when finalstory have 1k players online all the time? then i hang up. 2 days later i got a mail from a british law department and it said on a letter to meet in court and that i had refused to listen :( shit, why ME when its more popular private servers out there
What people are forgeting is that nexon has the right to sue anybody they want, until WE the players show that we cant spend 3 years to level to 200 so we play on higher rates, fair enough a server with 100,00X exp is just stupid and nexon deserves to make a profit from their game, they need to raise their experience rates, id suggest 10X then its fair and they need to stop making maplestory look so apealing to children, most children have no sense of achievement so they bury themselves in online play to feed their need for achievement, they get nx items so they can become better and feel better, if nexon wants to sell optional items for kids then let them but for 60 days? thats a disgrace, kids would gladly pay that cost but if people are pissed at nexon global then you need to take notice of something, $10 for 10k nexon cash, seems like a rip off considering it last's 2 months but maple europe (im european) charges £10 for 10k NX currenately $10 – £ is only £6 so if nexon were charging you $18 for nx cash then you would understand why it sucks… even if i considered paying id pay in global, no way in europe… its discusting

There seems to be an abundance of cloud storage services surfacing at the moment
for instance
SkyDrive - Windows Live
Dropbox - Home - Secure backup, sync and sharing made easy.
I got to wondering whether its feasible to hive userareas off into cloud storage. Presumably no one is offering guaranteed back-upped storage at the moment as we would require but I imagine its only a matter of time before someone realises the potential value to schools of such a service.

Q: What do you get when you multiply nothing by nothing? What does it equal?
A: Nothing??
Incorrect. You're multiplying so when you multiply 'nothing' by nothing you get more nothing, Nothing! because you're multiplying.
Now something multiplied by something example: Kindness multiplies by kindness equals more kindness compassion multiplied by compassion equals more compassion. however no matter how much 'something' a person may think they have when you multiply that something by nothing it still equals nothing, nothing!

Halos are nothing but ancient discs. Question to you. What is the highest Disc?
Angels do have wings and sometimes it does looks like feathers and they can fly. Some very high.
Chickens also have wings and indeed feathers but they do not fly; at least not very high, maybe several several inches if at all.
Now we do not eat Angels do we??
That's WHY the majority eat chicken.
I think KFC is still great.
Popey's is very good too.
The truth of Star-treks food replicator maybe stranger than fiction in that we could create our domestic help and eat them too. Kindness, however, dictates that we gather our amino's directly from vegetable matter.
Is the highest disc a circle?
Standards in Music on Compact Disc
Create our domestic help?? I guess that's why we have children.;) lol Just Kidding... but then again... I guess that's why... and where we get our vegetables. :eek: "Healthy servings everyday of fruits and Vegetables not to mention Nuts" However it seems to me there are less and less fruits and more and more Vegetables and Nuts. :eek:According to the Food Pyramid of America, which the POA gets most of it's money from, is Vegetables and Nuts.
Makes me want to not walk, not run, rocket all the way at the speed of Light and Sound to Burger King:D
The Highest Disc sometimes can be a circle and sometimes a cigar shape. It depends on the make, model and preference. Some prefer circles, some cigars, some both kinda like the Toyota Harmony commercials. No, no offense to the US Auto Market, which the majority are like cigars. Like the POA. Gosh now I'm writing in Ebonomics It's a US Legacy thing depending on what you like.
No, no no Ebonomics is not like Economics but then again...lol. no its a sub-subject in English. Simply put uhh 'Ghetto' Slang language which is a sub-subject language to The Standard English American Language or the Standard American English language depending on what side of the Atlantic you're on...

General Manager: Brendan Taman (2nd Season)
Head Coach: Greg Marshall (1st season)
Offensive Coordinator: Doug Berry | Defensive Coordinator: Richie Hall
2010 Statistics | 2011 Schedule | Team Page
Saskatchewan entered 2010 looking to get the sour taste of their mouths from their 2009 Grey Cup defeat. And after a 10-8 regular season record and playoff wins over the Lions and Stampeders, they had a chance to do just that. But the Alouettes proved to be too much for the Riders in the Grey Cup once again, and Saskatchewan had to settle for bridesmaid status for the second straight year. And although there was no last-play penalty heartbreaker like in '09, the loss was likely still as hard to stomach for fans of the team.
Tristan Jackson, KR: Jackson is coming off an injury-shortened 2010 season, but if healthy, he could prove to be a boon to the Riders return game. The 25-year-old was second in the league in both punt return and kickoff return yards in 2009, and was the Eskimos outstanding rookie and special teams player nominee in 2008.
Alex Gauthier/George Hudson, OL: The Riders bolstered their offensive line with the signing of two veterans from the Tiger-Cats in Alex Gauthier and George Hudson. Both non-imports have experience starting and Gauthier, a left tackle, comes with the added bonus of being a possible ratio buster at a traditionally import position.
Other Notable Acquisitions: Graeme Bell, FB; John Eubanks, DB; Chris Leak, QB; Dario Romero, DT
Andy Fantuz, SB: The Riders lost a key member of their receiving corps when Fantuz signed with the Chicago Bears of the NFL. A fan favourite and non-import, Fantuz helped Saskatchewan to their past three Grey Cup appearances, and was named Most Outstanding Canadian for their 2007 win. The 27-year-old led the league with 1,380 receiving yards last season.
Ken Miller, HC: Miller stepped aside as head coach following the 2010 season to focus more on his duties as vice-president of football operations in Saskatchewan. While still with the team, the coach that led the Riders to the past two Grey Cups will no longer be patrolling the sidelines on game day.
Other Notable Departures: Omarr Morgan, CB; Jeremy O'Day, C
Chris Shultz's Team Overview: I can't think of anyone that deserves to be a head coach more than new Roughriders coach Greg Marshall. I think Marshall's greatest asset will be that he knows the value of praise and the effect of criticism. As a former player, and a good one at that, he will know instinctively how to motivate and challenge. More...
Matt Dunigan's Quarterback Analysis: Darian Durant has been brilliant the last two seasons as the Roughriders starting QB. He has been to the dance both seasons since taking the reigns of the Rider Nation offense. "Doubles" is a winner in spite of the disappointing finishes the last two seasons and all who know his heart and abilities believe he will be back to the dance many more times. More...
Duane Forde's Canadian Content: Entering his seventeenth CFL season, offensive lineman Gene Makowsky is still one of the best in the business. With Andy Fantuz joining the NFL's Chicago Bears and Rob Bagg likely out for the season, receiver Chris Getzlaf will be expected to take on an even bigger role in the "Canadian Air Force". More...
The Roughriders traded out of the first round, picking up an extra second-rounder in the process. Saskatchewan used their first pick to take Western Ontario defensive back Craig Butler 12th overall, but their most intriguing pick was Queen's offensive lineman Matt O'Donnell at 15. O'Donnell, a 6'10 giant, was excused from Riders rookie camp because he had a workout with the NBA's Boston Celtics. He has yet to sign a contract and his status remains undetermined.

Don't apologize Michael....
i never identify with tech articles, they're always written from the point of view of middle class urban people (who are totally great! i have nothing against them Smile). rarely do i see articles about what the internet is to bazillions of rural people, or poor people who access it from a library or pirated connection...or people from certain populations that need a safe way to find each other.
That's because there's a kind of desperation on many peoples parts to be more 'in' than the 'in' are X-D Sleek fashionistas, lazy trustafarians, psuedo-literati's, elitist bullshitters...all bobbing and sweaty to get past each other to the center of some thing X-D Cities attract this... Anyway...when this happens there's an assumption on all their parts that everyone else openly or secretly feels the same and wants the same things...'the poor' or 'the rural' are embarassing to them and the image of an old farmer with an iPod is too insulting a thing to think about X-D
Personally, I think the idea of a guy on a junker bicycle riding past llamas with an iPhone is far more interesting than some "Gucci little piggy" ( thank you Thom Yorke ) with one.
It's hot outside...
Really? Wow.

LOL - get a Mac, yeah, after all - 8,000 users can't be wrong. The reason why virus writers never write to Mac is because the install base is so small. And after you get done playing some Blizzard games why you can play Quake II! Or Dungeon Keeper. My wife had a Mac, it was a wonderful machine, and OS X was beautiful - but lets face it, as a gaming platform I think I'd rather have a Nintendo 64 for gaming.

But it's OK. The Obamas make us feel good about ourselves, and, after all, that's what Hollywood, er, Washington, is all about.
The culmination of last night's Oscars broadcast with a Live! feed from the White House with Mrs. Obama (hangin' with her military BFs) marks the official recognition of the Presidency as theater: like the old Western sets, no substance required.
From the very beginning, President Obama was elected based on his strong delivery of stirring words, "Hope and change," with no serious vetting of his record or policies. Having been awarded the presidency, as the Oscars follow the Golden Globes, Mr. Obama was next awarded the Nobel Peace Prize, solely for his well-scripted promises for peace…

Hungry Mother has three-peated as Munch Madness champion. In a matchup of Cambridge heavyweights, the Southern-style favorite held off Oleana, which specializes in North African and Mediterranean cuisine, by 311 votes to claim its third consecutive title in our annual tournament of 64 local restaurants modeled after the NCAA March Madness basketball bracket.
It was the fourth straight trip to the final round for chef Barry Maiden's Hungry Mother, which has only lost once — in 2010 to East Coast Grill. In one of the biggest surprises of this year's competition, that former champion was knocked off in the opening round by the Kenmore Square mainstay Eastern Standard. However, Hungry Mother and the only other previous finalist, Craigie on Main, were paired against each other in the Final Four. In that rematch of last year's finalists, Hungry Mother edged chef Tony Maws's restaurant by a little more than 300 votes to advance.

DARRINGTON, Wash. (AP) -- Washington state authorities say the number of mudslide fatalities will go up substantially within the next two days.
A spokesman for authorities dealing with the deadly mudslide said search crews found an additional body late Wednesday, bringing the death toll to 25 victims.
That word comes from landslide incident spokesman Brian McMahan. Authorities say while they have discovered 25 bodies, not all have been recovered.
Snohomish County District 21 Fire Chief Travis Hots said Thursday the number of fatalities was expected to increase substantially within the next 24-48 hours, as the medical examiner catches up.
WATCH: Rescuing the rescuers: Seattle police support landslide first responders
On Wednesday, authorities also significantly lowered the number of people missing or unaccounted for as some 200 rescuers continued to sort through the massive debris field.
READ: Inslee: Review of slide risk 'needs to be done'
In a press briefing Wednesday evening, Snohomish County Emergency Management director John Pennington said 90 people were missing and unaccounted for with 35 others "possibly missing."
READ: Firefighters on search: 'We can't lost hope'
Authorities were initially sorting through a list of 176 reports.
"I think we have to be logical here," Pennington said. "Unless you're in a jungle in South America, you know what happened here. So I think the logical assumption here is that if you're on this list of 90, you're on this list."
Arlington holds vigil for mudslide victims
Emergency responders, heavy equipment operators and at least three dogs were at work in the debris, on the west side of the slide alone.
READ: Wednesday's search: busy, but slow
Included among them are volunteers from the local area, many of them loggers familiar with the terrain and the difficulties involved in moving enormous timbers.
Other teams arriving from Darrington searched on the east side, where a small pond formed by the slide is in their way.
PHOTOS: Aftermath of Washington landslide
"What has been the most help has been the dogs in finding people. And then our bare hands and shovels to move things," said John Pennington, Snohomish County Emergency Management director.
"We've set up a grid system to insure we're covering all the area," said Chief Steve Westlake, Snohomish County Emergency Management Operations Section. Each grid square is gone over "once, twice or three times as needed," he said.
"There are finds going on continually. They are finding people now," said Steve Mason, a fire battalion chief from south Snohomish County who is leading the west side operation.
READ: Some slide victims may not be found
Mortuary teams arrived Tuesday and will be on hand to take bodies that were found, said Pennington.
Rescue teams haven't given up the hope of finding anyone alive, he said. "We're still in rescue and response mode."
Visibility is tough because wreckage is covered in gray muck. Backhoes scoop only partial loads and sometimes spread them on the ground, where several people look to make sure all clues or victims are seen.
"People are under logs, mixed in. It's a slow process," Mason said.
Just then, a chainsaw toppled a tree, clearing more space. Several people huddled around a woody grove, intently focused on a potential recovery.
The sound of helicopters and planes booms along the valley as crews are ferried between the Arlington and Darrington sides of the slide that blocks Highway 530.
Two Blackhawk helicopters arrived from the National Guard Tuesday and are being used to transport rescuers back and forth between the towns," said Pennington.
That helps as the normally 20 minute drive between them has now turned into a tortuous two hour slog over a back country access road.
"Anyone who's using that road, I caution you that it's not a high speed road, it's for emergency back access into Darrington. Parts of it used to be gravel and in some places it's one-way with pull outs," said Steve Thompson, director of Snohomish County Public Works.
From a hillside south of the river, searchers could be seen walking on planks across mud mounds to reach wrecked houses.
At street level, workers hosed themselves off after shifts at what looks like three or four downed houses along Highway 530, where contaminants such as propane and sewage are present.
On the gouged hill where the slide occurred, white markers have been set at the top of the raw cliff, so scientists can fly overhead and measure for any hint the ground will shift again.
The disaster scene, a 25-mile drive east of Arlington, has been compared to the eruption of Mount St. Helens.
In a panoramic sense, that's true -- all about are big mounds of gray sediment, as high as 15 feet, that are shaped like the "hummocks" that the 1980 eruption left in the Toutle River valley.
Teams have scraped clear the westernmost 200 yards of Highway 530, where heavy machines have a stable footing to pivot and lift away logs or fragments of houses. The roadway seems in good shape, in the area uncovered so far.
Many searchers are wearing hardhats and raincoats. Approved volunteers from the area walked in with new hand shovels. Among the rescue trucks were several ambulances, not for victims, but to aid any personnel injured in the mess.
National Guardsmen in red hardhats were shuttling in a pickup truck at noon, to add manpower.
A half-inch black cable has been strung through the brambles, on the hillside above Highway 530, to restore phone and Internet service to Darrington. A small creek below is flowing brown.
Clamshell type loaders pulled out a mangled ATV and a wilted horse saddle. A safe full of guns, and chainsaws, have turned up, along with all sorts of household items.
The mood is mostly somber. Local Fire Chief Travis Hots has been observing in near silence, while two chaplains will drape a comforting arm around a fellow responder coming or going.
The feverish work at the site of slide is mirrored by volunteers in nearby towns busy feeding, clothing and housing those displaced by it.
Now, "the world knows where Oso is," Snohomish County Executive John Lovick said at a briefing Wednesday. "They also now know that we are more than a small community—we are a large family."

This episode was #6 in the top 50! Kick ass! Thanks Newgrounds!
Though it doesn't surprise me that others will complain about it and downvote to get rid of the flash from the list...
Thanks for the front page Tom.
Note: this episode is nearly as long as part 3. Don't tell me this one's short when part 1 was the shortest of all the episodes...
Flash #22 The adventure continues in this new episode. Sorry for the 7 month long hiatus guys, but the important thing here is that it's finally out.
In this episode, the links attempt to figure out what to do with the cucco that was delivered to them in part 3.
As some of you might already know. Spike da Penguin will not be reprising his role as Red link due to the fact that he's fulfilling other projects at the moment (visit his youtube page for more info). However,as the saying goes:The show must go on . I decided to find another voice actor to play red and his name is Richard Fincher. He may be new to voice acting, but I'd recommend that you guys give him a chance. I also hired other newcomers to this series: Ian Kovich (kenkaku) will be playing Vaati and Sahasrahla (the Elder from ALTTP) ,Saul Miquilena makes a small cameo as the priest and Rina-chan (AKA kagome) will be reprising her role as Zelda.
This episode makes references not only to previous Zelda games, but also a few popular animes , a 90s WB cartoon and even another flash series made by a bunch of "nobodies" , * hint hint ;) * This and much more.
anyway, that's all for now. enjoy, vote fair and get a snack while you're at it.

A man has been arrested in connection with a December 2013 shooting.
Brandon Kirkland was arrested Thursday and charged with murder in the shooting of Amin Bouchelaghem.
Bouchelaghem and two other people were shot on Lanier Street at Joseph E. Boone around 4:45 p.m. on Dec. 30.
Police were called and when officers arrived, they noticed Bouchelaghem unresponsive with head injuries, Larry Brooks with a defect to his back, and Michael McGee Jr. with injuries to his leg.
Bouchelaghem was pronounced dead at the scene, but Grady EMT took surviving injured victims to Grady Memorial Hospital for further medical treatment.
Officers said the victims were at the location to conduct a business meeting when two men approached the victims with guns drawn.
Police said Kirkland and another man fired several shots at the victims and fled the scene after the shooting.
Kirkland was taken to the Fulton County Jail.

Critical Essay by David Bradley
SOURCE: "Novelist Alice Walker Telling the Black Woman's Story," in The New York Times Magazine, January 8, 1984, pp. 25-37.
In the following essay, Bradley traces the development of Walker's career and discusses the strengths and weaknesses of her writing.
I first met Alice Walker the way people used to: Someone I liked and respected pressed a dogeared copy of one of her books into my hands and said, "You've got to read this." The book was In Love & Trouble, a collection of stories written between 1967 and 1973. Some of them had been published previously in periodicals directed at a primarily black readership, in the feminist standard, Ms., and in mainstream magazines like Harper's, a spectrum that hinted at the range of Alice Walker's appeal, just as the book's...

Louisville – Councilwoman Attica Scott (D-1) and the Center for Neighborhoods will host a special meeting for residents in the Chickasaw and Parkland Neighborhoods to announce three new public art projects.
"We have an opportunity to transform vacant buildings into public works of art in our neighborhoods in District 1," says Scott. "I want folks to know how they can get involved with this special effort and that is the purpose of this meeting."
Responding to resident concerns about blight in their neighborhoods, Scott has identified three vacant sites in Parkland and Chickasaw for transformation through a public art project.The special meeting is set for Thursday, February 6th at the
Catholic Enrichment Center, 3146 West Broadway beginning at 6:00pm.
Three sites have been chosen in the Parkland and Chickasaw neighborhoods for a transformation through a public art project. Councilwoman Scott and the Center for Neighborhoods are working with Producing Art in Neighborhoods Together (P.A.I.N.T).
Those who attend the meeting will be able to:
· Participate in a discussion on the P.A.I.N.T. project process
· Learn how YOUR involvement is crucial to a dynamic art piece
· Collaborate with the potential artists in a P.A.I.N.T. Workshop
Organizers would like the community to get involved by expressing input on the characteristics, places and people that make Parkland and Chickasaw important to our community of neighborhoods.
"We see the difference public art can make with the 'Parkland Rising' Project on 32nd and Greenwood Avenue," says Scott. "Here is our chance to spread public art in the District! Please join us."
For more information, contact Councilwoman Scott's office at 574-1101 or contact Lisa Dettlinger at 502.589.0343 or email@example.com

Dip-dye dos and don'ts
It's safe to say the dip-dye hair trend is something you might expect the more, ahem, eccentric members of society to experiment with. However, things have turned on their head as everyone seems to be sporting this vibrant trend these days, and the grunge look has become positively mainstream.
The best thing about this trend is that you can go as subtle or as bizarre as you like. Most favour a dark brown or blonde on top with a gradual transition into blonde tips, á la Drew Barrymore or Caroline Flack.
But why not use your imagination and get experimenting? However, be warned, though the method is easy to follow, the results can be unpredictable. Having experienced my own dip-dye disaster (colour was fantastic, state of my hair was not!), I'd like to pass on my wisdom. Cue a list of dos and don'ts to guide you on your way and avoid things going awry...
DO be brave. Every colour across the spectrum is available to you, so go crazy. Katy Perry went blue, Jessie J went purple and Nicki Minaj went…well, just about every colour you can think of (sometimes all at the same time). Why can't you as well?
DO strip your hair first using bleach if you have naturally dark hair. Try this Jerome Russell Blonde Highlighting Kit, suitable for light to dark brown hair, available at Boots. Use it before applying your chosen colour as normal, or on its own for blonde ends. When doing the latter, be aware that it's hard to pick and choose the outcome, seeing as it's based on your natural colour, but this can come in handy if you want to keep things subtle.
DON'T, however, leave the bleach on for too long (the immortal words I uttered during my dip-dye experience: "Is two hours too long to leave bleach on your hair?" – take it from me; YES. Yes it is). The instructions are there for a reason.
DO use spray-in colour if you're not feeling quite that brave yet. You might feel like some 90s throw back, but this really can work if you don't feel like going the whole hog with this trend. Many high street cosmetic stores offer a huge range of spray-in colours, such as this one from Claire's Accessories. You've probably not set foot in there since you were fourteen, but who knew they could be so trendy again? Plus, a whole new look for only £3.50? Absolute bargain.
DO use a lightening spray if you're fair, for ends that are just a few shades lighter than your natural colour, giving a more subtle look. Boots stock the popular Sun In range, such as this one for only £5.77. Just spray onto damp hair and blow-dry, the colour comes through with the heat. Simple.
DO use clip-in extensions for an adaptable, but not permanent, experimental look. Again, Claire's Accessories is right on trend with this one. They've been selling clip-ins for years and it doesn't take a genius to guess they've been a slow seller, but perhaps a sudden surge in sales is about to happen…
DO follow the three C's: condition, condition, condition. Then, rinse and repeat. Using strong dye colours on your hair, especially bleach, can really take it out your locks, so follow with a thick conditioner. There is a huge range of conditioners out there especially made for coloured hair, but try this Pantene mask for a deep and revitalising treatment that will leave you with silk for hair.
DO be prepared for a tricky cover-up. Once you're bored of your new tresses or the colour has faded, you may make the decision to simply dye over the top of them, back to your natural colour. However, be warned, this isn't as easy as it sounds. For those brunettes out there who have lightened their ends, even permanent dark brown dyes don't cover up bleach for long and it is notoriously hard to predict what colour the outcome will even be. So be prepared for multiple dyeing sessions and a whole lot of conditioning.
DON'T try this trend if your hair is dry and damaged or you're prone to split ends. Bleach and strong dyes can ruin your hair so unless you want to end up getting it all cut off a few weeks later (yes – I am guilty as charged), then just don't go there.
DO adapt your style to suit your new hair. This trend requires attitude and the clothes to match. Play up to the grunge look by teaming your new 'do with a leather jacket, boots and a rocker tee and you'll be all set to go.

Zucchini makes for great breads, cakes, soups, and more–why not pickles, too? Rice vinegar and ginger add a little Asian flair to this easy pickling recipe.
Real Simple AUGUST 2002
In a medium saucepan, combine the vinegar, 1/2 cup water, chilies, ginger, sugar, and salt. Bring to a boil and simmer until the sugar and salt dissolve, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat. Add the red pepper flakes and let sit for 15 minutes.
Place the zucchini in a large bowl. Pour in the vinegar brine and let sit at room temperature for 1 hour, stirring occasionally. Zucchini pickles can be kept in the refrigerator for 1 week.

Based on the quick-paced action and excitement of theatrical teaser trailers, I am proud to offer in under 60 seconds the story of a heroic general who became a slave, a slave who became a Jedi, a Jedi who defied an Empire. Alas, I have never intended to make this into a full feature, however Star Wars fans should still find it very enjoyable.
update* thanks for all your reviews. to answer the questions I know will be coming: 1. the song is Imperial March Rage Remix 2. time is the reason I wont make a full film of this (or the fact that I have so little free time) 3. I am however, making another fully animated SW film due out in a month or two (see website for further details) 4. yes, those are lightsaber gauntlets 5. and thanks for your kind reviews. I promise actual animation in my next submission =)

Since it's Jon Favreau, the logo is awesome. If it were Brett Ratner, the same logo would have sucked. If it were George Lucas, the logo would have raped everyone's childhood. If it were Michael Bay, the logo would represent everything that's wrong with filmmaking. If it were Tarantino, Harry would have posted the logo himself and used some really inappropriate language about his anatomy to describe it. If it were Spielberg, the logo would have been WOTW SUCKED! SHUT UP MUNICH ROCKED! and so forth.

There could have been more to it. Iron man's design is all about the way the pieces of armour move over one another so they could have introduced some sort of carapace design to the lettering. Also aren't the eyes more iconic than the disk in the centre of the chest? I'm interested to see where they go with this pic butfrom this I just get a "meh".

The better part of me thinks that I should let this go, since this discussion is obviously the most important conversation that you are going to participate in this year. And I would hate to spoil that for you. Though, at the same time, since you yourself name at least two examples of others things that the logo looks like, it means that you too must be some sort of moron, no;)

by JDanielP
You know, ...I continue to be sadly disappointed when it comes to any news on this project. I'm quite a large fan of IRON-MAN... but wow, where is this thing headed??? Somebody, please, ...tell me, ...how does this logo has anything to do with iron? Oh, yeah, I get it. It must be the "man" that holds more influence over the design. Yeah. RRRRrrrriiight. --People, get a clue. Just look at the history of "IRON-MAN" comic book logos and pull from that, ...at least to SOME degree. But then, this production does nothin' but piss me off... so why should I help you? --You know, within those rounds with Sly Stallone, he described the difference between action stars of years past compared to today. IRON-MAN is a man of those days past (with a mind for modern technology). I respect Robert Downey Jr., ...enough, ...as an actor. But he will never be Tony Stark, in my eyes.

Still feel Howard was perfect
by wilsonfisk89
Really. He has that Debonair Tony Stark Charm, but also inner rage and mania. To me Downey is sort of an over the hill slob type, I dont really believe him being an agile warrior. SO what was it, Howard not a big enough name? Or some kind of BS relectance of a black lead? In any case he would have been perfect and Downey loses credibility.

Ya know, I give Depp his props on being a good actor; but I've got two problems with him as Stark: 1) He's too slim & pretty. I envision Stark having somewhat more heft and a grizzled, rugged charm. And 2) when I watch Depp acting I have trouble forgetting that it's Depp acting. When I see Downey, I have trouble remembering that it's Downey. So I'm definitely down with Downey. And Favs has an open-ended line of geek cred at my bank. I'll take time off from work to see this film.

From Polis to Province: An Analysis of the Athenian Governing Class from 167/6 B.C. to A.D. 13/4

D.J. Geagan
The magistrates, priests and families attested between 167/6 B.C. and A.D. 13/4 belong to a governing class which may be regarded as a large civic class and several partly overlapping elites: a political elite, comprised of the members of the Areopagus; as well as a religious elite, a liturgical elite, a military (or ephebic elite) and a cultural-educational elite. The political elite is the most exclusive segment of the governing class. The other elites and the civic class form a descending hierarchy of peripheral families. In the course of seven chapters, the following conclusions are presented: (1) the governing class is in a constant state of flux as new families are recruited from below or through the admission of new citizens to Athens; (2) the analysis of the careers (or sequence of offices held by the members of the governing class) shows that certain types of offices are usually held at a particular age or point in an individual's public life, and changes in the number and type of offices available to an individual reflect changes in the nature of political life at Athens during this period; (3) during the generation following the acquisition of Delos in 167/6 B.C., pro-Roman families of the established aristocracy are predominant in the ranks of the governing class at both Athens and on Delos; (4) these families soon decline and the recruitment and composition of the governing class evolve during the transition to the second generation following c. 130 B.C.; (5) the revolution of 88/7 B.C. is an indirect consequence of demographic changes at Athens during the preceding generation; (6) during the Roman civil wars the governing class is found to be divided into competing factions; (7) finally, the emergence of a new and primarily hereditary governing elite may be documented during the reign of Augustus. An appendix tabulates all dated Athenian magistrates (and inscriptions) during this period. Other appendices discuss several chronological difficulties, the ephebic instructors and undated archons.
