MUMBAI: Taxi union leader A L Quadros has assured RTO officials that more than 5,000 taxis fitted with the e-meters will be recalibrated within the next ten days.
The RTO officials have begun taking action against taxi drivers who have failed to recalibrate the e-meters. They booked 50 drivers from across the island city and suburbs during the past six days. The cabbies were imposed with a fine of Rs 600 and their permits are also likely to be suspended for a few days.
"The purpose of the action was to create a deterrent for other drivers and compel them to rush for the recalibrations,'' said deputy RTO (Tardeo) Jeevan Bansod. However, in the past three days, the number of taxis arriving for recalibration did not exceed 300 cabs a day.

Turkey Yucatan
By Hank Shaw on April 25, 2016 | 4 Responses
Few places celebrate turkey like Mexico. It is where the turkey was domesticated, and there are scores of great recipes for these birds there. This is a traditional Yucatan turkey recipe, using legs, thighs and wings that are marinated, grilled, then braised.

Wild Turkey Carnitas
By Hank Shaw on April 13, 2016 | 6 Responses
Quite possibly the best thing to make with wild turkey drumsticks and wings, which can be really tough and stringy. Braise them slowly until the meat falls off the bone, then pull the meat, crisp it and serve it in tacos or burritos.

Chocolomo: Fire in a Stew
By Hank Shaw on February 5, 2016 | 11 Responses
Chocolomo. I just love saying the name. It's a Mexican stew made with beef or venison, and it is amazing. The flavor is so deep and rich you just want to keep eating it. The secret? Char. There's a whole lotta blackening going on here, and the result is a revelation.

Javelina Cochinita Pibil
By Hank Shaw on January 28, 2016 | 14 Responses
The moment I shot my first javelina, I knew I needed to make cochinita pibil. My instincts were not wrong. This is slow cooked, pulled meat (normally pork) marinated in citrus and achiote (annato) paste. Damn good on tortillas with pickled red onions.

Teal in a Jar
By Hank Shaw on January 11, 2016 | 9 Responses
I would never have thought to do this recipe if it weren't for my friend Jesse Griffiths in Texas, who does this with his blue-winged teal ducks. My version is different, more desert Southwest, but I am really happy with it. Great for dinner parties or for weeknight portions made on the weekend.

Venison Mole Chichilo
By Hank Shaw on December 14, 2015 | 11 Responses
Mole, pronounced "mole-ay," is a set of masterful, rich and luxurious sauces from Mexico. There are seven great moles from Oaxaca in the south, and this is one of them. Mole chichilo is actually served with venison there, so I thought I'd recreate the recipe here for you. If you make it, you're in for a treat.

Confirmed: Geoff Johns Is the New President of DC Entertainment
Comic Books, Film, TV
Conventions | While the San Diego Chargers support the construction of a multi-use stadium that's not connected to the San Diego Convention Center, Comic-Con International still favors a contiguous expansion. "If a convention center is built across the street or blocks away from the current location, any convention considering an event in San Diego would be forced to determine who gets to stay at the main facility and who is relegated to the 'other' venue," Comic-Con's David Glanzer writes in a column reiterating the organization's stance. "Comic-Con experienced a similar scenario some years ago when we attempted to create more exhibit space by moving some exhibitors upstairs to the Sails Pavilion. Even though all exhibitors were in the same building, the fact that some were only one floor removed from others caused a great deal of consternation as they objected to not being on what they considered to be the main exhibit floor." [San Diego Union-Tribune]
Conventions | ReedPOP Senior Vice President Lance Fensterman looks back at New York Comic Con 2015, which drew 167,000 people over four days; the increase came from making Thursday a full day, he says. Fensterman also offers some thoughts on conventions in general, saying the market is starting to become saturated, but not in terms of fans, who will always go to a cool show: "I think the saturation is more so on the side of content, and by content, I mean exhibitors, brands, guests, studios," he says. "They don't need that many shows." Dealers will always show up, but, Fensterman says, "Fans don't want to pay a ticket price to come in to spend money. There needs to be content that is engaging, exciting and unique. And there's a limited quantity on that." [ICv2]
Manga | Remember when Kadokawa published a manga based on the BBC's popular Sherlock television series? Well, maybe not, because the manga hasn't been licensed for English-language countries. But now the first volume has been translated: Kadokawa, the publisher of the original manga, has released a bilingual Japanese and English version of "A Study in Pink" intended for students of English. [Anime News Network]

Creators | Saying his job has become "too much to bear," cartoonist Renald Luzier (Luz) is leaving the French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo. He said he worked too hard in the aftermath of the January attack on the Charlie Hebdo offices in which 12 people, most of them his co-workers, were killed, and he did not give himself time to grieve. "I needed time but I carried on for solidarity and not to let anyone down," he said. However, the loss is taking its toll: "Each issue is torture because the others are gone." He had previously announced he would no longer draw cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad, saying it no longer interested him, and he is tired of the media attention. "We are not heroes, we have never been, we never meant to be," he said. "Everyone evokes the spirit of Charlie for anything and everything now." [The Independent]
Conventions | Convention producer ReedPOP will add Vienna Comic Con in Austria to a growing roster of shows that already includes the Chicago Comic & Entertainment Expo, New York Comic Con, Emerald City Comicon, PAX, OZ Comic Con, Shanghai Comic Con, Star Wars Celebration and Comic Con Paris. It's scheduled for Nov. 21-22 at Messe Wien in Vienna. "We aim to make Vienna Comic Con the leading pop culture event in Central Europe," Barbara Leithner of Reed Exhibitions said in a statement. "Fans at Vienna Comic Con will experience unique programs and events, and meet pop culture creatives from all over the world." [press release]
With less than a month to go until the second annual Special Edition: NYC comic book festival, producer ReedPOP has provided ROBOT 6 with a first look at the event's badges, created by some of the industry's top artists.
Above and below you'll see the VIP badge by Aaron McConnell, Weekend by Karl Kesel, and Artist Alley by Ron Randall, all members of Portland, Oregon's Periscope Studio. According to ReedPOP, the illustrated badges help to underscore the show's primary mission, "connecting fans with artists in a more personal and unique way."
ReedPOP, which produces such events as New York Comic Con, Chicago Comic & Entertainment Expo and Star Wars Celebration, is expanding its global reach with Shanghai Comic Convention, to be held May 16-17 in China.
The event is only the company's latest move on the international stage, following the additions of Singapore Toy, Game & Comic Convention, India Comic Con, Australia's Oz Comic Con, PAX Australia, Star Wars Celebration Europe and, as announced last fall, Paris Comic Con.
Conventions | ReedPOP Senior Vice President Lance Fensterman talks about how New York Comic Con reached 151,000 attendees this year, what went well, what could have gone better, and what he learned for next time. The new badges and check in/check out system, introduced last year, let producers know exactly how long people stayed at the show, and that turned into a nice surprise for two attendees: "There was a couple [last year] who literally spent every minute that was possible at New York Comic Con for three and a half days. We reached out to them and did something special for them—gave them a bunch of free stuff and free tickets because they were at the show longer than anyone who wasn't paid to be at the show." [ICv2]
Political cartoons | Egyptian cartoonists Mohamed Anwar and Andeel discuss the difficulty of critiquing Egyptian president Abdel Fatah al-Sisi, who doesn't tolerate dissent; Anwar is a cartoonist for a mainstream newspaper and pulls some punches as the tradeoff for reaching a wide audience, while Andeel has moved over to the alternative press, where he can speak more freely. [The Guardian]
New York Comic Con is now the largest pop-culture convention in North America, with producer ReedPOP reporting it sold tickets for this weekend's event to 151,000 unique individuals.
Comic-Con International has been forced to cap attendance at about 130,000 due to the capacity San Diego Convention Center, leading organizers to turn to nearby hotels and Petco Park for additional space. New York Comic Con last year strained the limits of the Javitz Center with 133,000 attendees. However, ReedPOP Global Senior Vice President Lance Fensterman told ICv2.com that by expanding Thursday to a full day this year, organizers were able to sell another day's worth of tickets.
This year's figure doesn't include the inaugural New York Super Week, the weeklong series of 110 events held at 25 venues across New York City, Fensterman said.
New York Comic Con producer ReedPOP, which just last month expanded to India, is now setting its sights on France.
The division of Reed Exhibitions kicked off its New York show today with the announcement of Paris Comic Con, set for Oct. 23-25, 2015, at the Grande Halle de la Villette. A partnership with Reed France and Japan Expo organizer JTS Group, it marks ReedPOP's first European event.
ReedPOP, whose stable of events includes Chicago Comic & Entertainment Expo, PAX and Star Wars Celebration, has been expanding its international presence with the addition of the Singapore Toy, Game & Comic Convention, Australia's Oz Comic Con, PAX Australia and Star Wars Celebration Europe.
Graphic novels | Although BookScan's September list of the bestselling graphic novels in bookstores is populated largely by old stalwarts — The Walking Dead, Attack on Titan, Saga, Watchmen — Guardians of the Galaxy, Vol. 1, the only Marvel title on the chart, clung to the Top 20 in its second month of release (although it slipped from No. 4. to No. 20). Bryan Lee O'Malley's Seconds, meanwhile, climbed in its third month to No. 6. One new manga debuted at No. 12: Noragami, about a homeless god who does odd jobs as he tries to build up his reputation; the anime is already out, which probably gave it a boost. [ICv2]
Publishing | A television reporter pays a visit to the Last Gasp offices to talk about the Kickstarter recently launched by the longtime publisher of underground comics (and other quirky books). It's worth a look just to see the owner's amazing collection of oddities. [NBC Bay Area]
Legal | Hirofumi Watanabe has withdrawn the appeal of his conviction last month on charges of sending more than 400 threatening letters to venues in Japana connected with the manga Kuroko's Basketball. The 37-year-old former temporary worker admitted to all charges during his first day in court, but mpoved to have his conviction overturned after he was sentenced to four and a half years in prison. Watanabe, who said he doesn't feel guilty for what he did and won't apologize, acknowledged that he sent the letters out of jealousy of the success of Kuroko's Basketball creator Tadatoshi Fujimaki. [Anime News Network]
Manga | The most promising new market for manga right now? India, where the comics market in general is exploding. Kevin Hamric of Viz Media says manga is already well known there and fans can't get enough, while Lance Fensterman of ReedPOP, the company behind New York Comic Con, talks about the planned collaboration with Comic Con India. The one obstacle: the same one that afflicted the American manga market, Japanese publishers' reluctance to license their properties. [The Japan Times]
Convention producer ReedPOP, which in February partnered with Australia's Oz Comic-Con, has now entered into a joint venture with Comic Con India to further expand the three-year-old event.
A division of Reed Exhibitions, ReedPOP produces pop-culture events ranging from Chicago Comic & Entertainment Expo and New York Comic Con to Singapore Toy, Gaming & Comics Convention and Star Wars Celebration. India Comic Con stages shows in New Delhi, Mumbai and Bangalore, with an edition debuting next month in Hyderabad.
"Working closely with leading publishers, we have put comics, especially Indian comics, back on the map and opened up the pop culture space even further in India," Comic Con India founder Jatin Varma said in a statement. "Our partnership with ReedPOP will help us scale further and create world class events that will deliver the best experiences to audiences here in India. With this JV [joint venture], I hope to have our events counted among the top events in the world, within this sphere, in the coming years."
New York Comic Con hopefuls who missed out on passes when they went on sale June 27 will get another chance beginning Thursday — as long as they live near one of the convention's official retailers.
Organizer ReePop is rolling out a limited number of tickets for the sold-out event, starting Thursday at Midtown Comics' Downtown location in New York City. After that, they'll also be available while supplies last at select retailers in New York City, New Jersey, Connecticut, Illinois and Massachusetts. The full list of comic stores can be found here.
Some of those stores will also have cards for the Oct. 3-12 New York Super Week, a "week-long immersive and inclusive experience," featuring concerts, live radio shows and podcasts, game shows and more, all leading up to New York Comic Con. Among those activities, ReedPop has announced, is a special edition of NPR's Ask Me Another, featuring Neil Gaiman as the VIP (Very Important Puzzler).
Benefits of the New York Super Week Card include priority seating at events, drink specials and merchandise discounts. New York Comic Con will be held Oct. 9-12 at the Javits Center in New York City.
Manga | Hajime Isayama's Attack on Titan has knocked longtime bestseller One Piece from the top of Japan's manga charts. Market research firm Oricon reports that Attack on Titan, which has 13 volumes in print, sold 8,342,268 copies in the first half of the year, making it the bestselling series in Japan. One Piece, which has long held that title, sold 4,936,855 copies of 73 volumes, but it did top the charts for single-volume sales, with 2,825,339 copies sold of the latest volume. The numbers cover the period from mid-November to mid-May. [Anime News Network]

OpenVZ / Virtuozzo 7 Beta First Impressions
There will eventually be two distinct versions... a free version and a commercial version. So far as I can tell they currently call it Virtuozzo 7 but in a comparison wiki page they use the column names Virtuozzo 7 OpenVZ (V7O) and Virtuozzo 7 Commercial (V7C). The original OpenVZ, which is still considered the stable OpenVZ release at this time based on the EL6-based OpenVZ kernel, appears to be called OpenVZ Legacy.

KDE ActivityManager in Emacs
Today I whipped up a small Emacs minor-mode to interface with KDE's ActivityManager system. It's my first minor-mode and it's janky as fuck right now, but I'm going to expand on it to eventually be able to filter, for example, to just buffers that are linked to your current activity, pushing me towards a long-standing goal of mine to create a system which flows with what I'm doing, rather than forcing me in to its workflow.
Convergence through Divergence
This time around, I'm adding a mechanism that allows us to list plugins, applications (and the general "service") specific for a given form factor. In normal-people-language, that means that I want to make it possible to specify whether an application or plugin should be shown in the user interface of a given device. Let's look at an example: KMail. KMail has two user interfaces, the desktop version, a traditional fat client offering all the features that an email client could possibly have, and a touch-friendly version that works well on devices such as smart phones and tablets. If both are installed, which should be shown in the user interface, for example the launcher? The answer is, unfortunately: we can't really tell as there currently is no scheme to derive this information from in a reliable way. With the current functionality that is offered by KDE Frameworks and Plasma, we'd simply list both applications, they're both installed and there is no metadata that could possibly tell us the difference.

Global shortcut handling in a Plasma Wayland session
On X11 the daemon uses the X11 core functionality to get notified whenever key events it is interested in happen. Basically it is a global key logger. Such an architecture has the disadvantage that any process could have this infrastructure and it would be possible for multiple processes grabbing the same global shortcut. In such a case undefined behavior is triggered as either multiple actions are triggered at the same time or only one action is triggered while the others do not get informed at all.

Extending Storage on an Fedora Atomic Host
I had to spend some time understanding how to use docker-storage-setup on an Atomic host. The tool docker-storage-setup comes by default and makes the configuration of storage on your Atomic host easier. I didn't read any of the provided documentation (although that probably would have helped) other than the script itself. So, pardon me if this is a duplicate of other info out there. It was a great way to learn more about it. The goal here is to add more disk space to an Atomic host. By default, the cloud image that you download has one device (vda) that is 6GB in size. When I'm testing many, many docker builds and iterating through the Fedora-Dockerfiles repo, that's just not enough space. So, I need to know how to expand it.

Red Hat Summit Highlights Docker, RHEL 7.2 Roadmap and More
This year's Red Hat Summit brought together the company's executives, customers and partners from June 23 to 26 to discuss technology trends and product innovation. A key theme this year was Docker container technology, with Red Hat announcing its Atomic Enterprise Platform and the OpenShift Enterprise 3 platform. Atomic Enterprise brings an enterprise-grade supported host platform for the deployment and orchestration for Docker containers, while OpenShift is a platform-as-a-service offering targeting developers building, managing and deploying containers. At the conference, Red Hat CEO Jim Whitehurst emphasized that open-source technology's value isn't just about licensed code, but about collaboration and communities. No Red Hat Summit event would be complete without at least one session on the roadmap for the core Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) platform, and the 2015 event was no exception. The next major update for the platform, RHEL 7.2, will include new performance capabilities for virtualization, security and networking. Here's a look at highlights from the event.

Over the last few years, there have been several releases of mobile phones designed with open-source operating systems: Mozilla, Canonical, Samsung, and Jolla to name a few companies that have ventured into that industry. Their operating systems aim to break through the global dominance of Android and iOS — although Android has been their biggest challenge as phones based on it are the most popular in countries in which those companies have targeted customers. But none of these companies has been successful on a large scale; they have seen success with niche groups of customers, but nothing that can make a dent in Android's global presence. Still, they haven't thrown in the towel, and in some cases, have done quite the opposite.

10 Reasons Tape Backup Remains Important to the Enterprise
Digital tape is about the hardest-to-kill storage IT there is, unless you count carving out data onto rocks, the way it was done hundreds of thousands of years ago. Tape technology celebrated its 63rd birthday on May 21; IBM first made available its IBM 726 Magnetic tape reader/recorder in 1952. Strangely, unlike later IBM tape drives, the original 726 could read tape backward and forward. Tape has managed to get better with age. When tape first went to market, the media itself weighed 935 pounds and held 2.3MB of data. In 2015, that much tape weighs closer to 12 pounds, and 2.3MB would comprise one large photo or a short pop song. Tape storage densities are broken regularly; IBM's tape team recently demonstrated an areal recording density of 123 billion bits of uncompressed data per square inch on low-cost, particulate magnetic tape. The breakthrough represents the equivalent of a 220TB tape cartridge that could fit in the palm of your hand. Companies such as Iron Mountain, Spectra Logic, IBM and others maintain large installed bases of tape storage around the world. Here are some key facts about tape storage.

BTRFS Status June 2015
The version of btrfs-tools in Debian/Jessie is incapable of creating a filesystem that can be mounted by the kernel in Debian/Wheezy. If you want to use a BTRFS filesystem on Jessie and Wheezy (which isn't uncommon with removable devices) the only options are to use the Wheezy version of mkfs.btrfs or to use a Jessie kernel on Wheezy. I recently got bitten by this issue when I created a BTRFS filesystem on a removable device with a lot of important data (which is why I wanted metadata duplication and checksums) and had to read it on a server running Wheezy. Fortunately KVM in Wheezy works really well so I created a virtual machine to read the disk. Setting up a new KVM isn't that difficult, but it's not something I want to do while a client is anxiously waiting for their data.

Docker Rivals Join Together in Open Container Effort
To be clear though, the point of the OCP is not to standardize Docker, but rather to standardize the baseline for containers. Polvi explained that with an open standard, there can be multiple implementations of the standard. So for CoreOS, it means the company will continue to work on its Rocket container technology, while Docker will continue to work on the Docker container technology.

Atomic Mode-Setting Support For Wayland's Weston

One of the primary benefits of the DRM driver supporting atomic mode-setting is that it can allow a full mode-set operation to be tested prior to actually being committed to ensure it can be properly handled by the driver and display hardware. For end-users, this is meant to yield less problems and ideally avoid any display flickering. Atomic mode-setting support has been ongoing within the Linux kernel's DRM drivers for a while now, though more patches still have yet to be mainlined. Daniel has been leading the charge to let Weston make use of the atomic mode-setting interfaces to the Linux kernel.

Or have to moderate a discussion to make sure everyone's ideas were being acknowledged? These are just two of the many ways collaborating with with co-workers used to be painful.
Cross-Platform Android Development Toolkits: Kivy vs. PhoneGap
Although Ant builds have made Android development much easier, I've long been curious about the cross-platform phone development apps: you write a simple app in some common language, like HTML or Python, then run something that can turn it into apps on multiple mobile platforms, like Android, iOS, Blackberry, Windows phone, UbuntoOS, FirefoxOS or Tizen.

"EPIC" fail—how OPM hackers tapped the mother lode of espionage data
Government officials have been vague in their testimony about the data breaches—there was apparently more than one—at the Office of Personnel Management. But on Thursday, officials from OPM, the Department of Homeland Security, and the Department of the Interior revealed new information that indicates at least two separate systems were compromised by attackers within OPM's and Interior's networks.

For those new to Linux/UNIX command line interfaces, there are lots of Internet sources that provide cheat sheets for the most common commands you'll need to navigate and perform actions. Here's another option we like because it's particularly handy.
Why are there still so many website vulnerabilities?
The larger the site, the greater its functionality and visibility, and the more it uses third-party software, the more that the process of reducing inherent vulnerabilities in the site will be costly.
Breach Defense Playbook: Open Source Intelligence
The Internet allows for information to be readily available at your fingertips. However, it also allows for the same information to be accessed by malicious threat actors who are targeting your organization with cyberattacks. The recent explosion of social media has only increased the information available, and with it the risks to your corporate data, intellectual property, and brand. Some organizations call the awareness of this risk "threat intelligence," but we have found that organizations need to focus on more than just current threats. Organizations can leverage an emerging intelligence-gathering capability to determine data leakage, employee misbehavior, or negative brand exposure at a higher level than threat intelligence using Open Source Intelligence, or OSINT.

A new study says that 30% of all physical servers in data centers are comatose, or are using energy but delivering no useful information. What's remarkable is that that percentage hasn't changed since 2008, when a separate study showed the same thing.
The latest research was reported in a paper by Jonathan Koomey, a research fellow at Stanford University, who has done data center energy research for the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, and Jon Taylor, a partner at the Athensis Group, a consulting firm.

But the information the Chinese stole included my original application to the CIA — my Standard Form 86. That form included information on my family members, friends, neighbors and references. That means their information was probably compromised too.

Skip to comments.Bar boycotts Sam Adams after pullout
Posted on 03/15/2014 8:34:48 AM PDT by raccoonradio
The fight over Southies St. Patricks Day Parade got frosty yesterday, with Boston Beer Co. pulling its longtime sponsorship from the parade over the organizers refusal to let gay veterans march and one Southie bar fighting back with a vow to boycott the brew.
Sam Adams doesnt support South Boston. They dont want to support veterans like my father and uncle, so they can go sell their beer elsewhere, said Tommy Flaherty Jr., a lifelong Southie resident whose father and uncle own the landmark Cornerstone Pub & Restaurant on West Broadway.
Flaherty Jr. said he and his father, Thomas Flaherty Sr., 70, and his uncle John Flaherty, 81, were taken aback when they learned yesterday afternoon from reading bostonherald.com that the brewing behemoth pulled its sponsorship, so they decided not to sell Sam Adams indefinitely.
(Boston Beer Co. has) no problem taking the money from the people drinking at the bars along the parade route, Flaherty Jr. said, adding he has no qualms with gay people. We serve to everybody. I dont have a problem with gay people, nor do my father and uncle.
Boston Beer Co. could not be reached last night for comment on Cornerstones boycott. Representatives of the beer company until yesterday listed as a proud sponsor on the parades website have marched in past years, but announced yesterday morning they will not participate this year because the organizer, Allied Veterans War Council, is refusing to change its longtime policy of banning anyone from marching under a gay-rights banner.
We have been participating in the South Boston St. Patricks Day Parade for nearly a decade, Boston Beer Co. said in a statement. We were hopeful that both sides of this issue would be able to come to an agreement that would allow everyone, regardless of orientation, to participate in the parade. But given the current status of the negotiations, we realize this may not be possible.
The flap came after other supporters, including Westin Hotels and Gillette, distanced themselves from the parade. Yesterday, the parades website which had featured dozens of business backers erased its sponsorship page and replaced it with a message saying, Were updating our sponsors, thank you for your patience.
Mayor Martin J. Walsh said last night he was still hopeful a deal can be made.
Weve gotten pretty close to an agreement here, and I think a lot of people thought this was the year we were going to have an agreement, Walsh said. Im not giving up on that hope, we still have some time left. ... I have a glimmer of hope that were going to be able to work something out.
As for Boston Beer Co. pulling its sponsorship, the mayor said, They made a policy decision there, and I commend them for it.
Sam Adams will do just fine without this bar and their supporters.
"Roast me! Hang me! Do whatever you please," said Brer Rabbit. "Only please, Brer Fox, please don't throw me into the briar patch.".
Sam Adams will from this day forward be known as...
Queer Beer!
May it become a trend !
I'd rather have a Yuengling Lager instead.
What the Hell happened to this country? :(
Or to use Jim Koch's slogan, with a substitution: "A better glass...of queer."
The company should not be allowed to use his name to promote their sewer swill.
Piss on them and their dishwater queer beer.
"(Boston Beer Co. has) no problem taking the money from the people drinking at the bars along the parade route, Flaherty Jr. said, adding he has no qualms with gay people. We serve to everybody. I dont have a problem with gay people, nor do my father and uncle.
Well, I do. That's why there are fag bars. They cater to fags and vice versa with normal, straight, hetero dive bars. Now Flaherty, I dare you to place a big sign on your bar as "gar friendly", and watch your customer base change and let' see you try to cope with the homo demographics.
My reading of the article is that the beer company which distributes Sam Adams pulled its sponsorship because the parade won't let gay groups march. Then the bar promptly said it would boycott Sam Adams. Meaning the bar appears to support the parade organizers, and not the gay groups.
With so many layers of protesters protesting protesters, I misunderstood which side Sam Adams, or the Bar, was on.
Sam Adams swill had better hope that the Gay Sam Adams drinkers and their left wing buddies out number those who will stop drinking Sam Adams.
Having given up beer for lent, I can safely sit this one out for another five weeks.
I'm not a fan of Sam Adams beer, either. I feel it's overhopped (i.e. a little too bitter) for the light body it has.
I've never had Yuengling, though I have heard good things. Especially about their porter.
The gaybistas won't be happy til everybody's marching in green leather assless chaps.
Oh, and I thought the "G" stood for "Gay"
Do gays drink beer?
The real problem is the need for sponsorships to begin with.
The sponsorships pay for a lot of permits and licensing etc. I say screw the permits and have the parade anyway.
Sam Adams is getting slaughtered by Yuengling and Yuengling is only available in 13 states. NE doesn't deserve Yuengling. Go to Texas first (which I think Dick Yuengling has his eyes on).
The Bar is on the side of the Parade Sponsors who are not buckling to the Gay Nazis.
I supsect that Sam Adams (the Patriot) would not approve of the company that bears his name.
The silver lining is that you get to see the SPD parade with no fags ruining it like the Rose Bowl..
The parade is about the Irish and St Patrick... not a sounding board for political messages (including the gay agenda).
The parade wouldn't allow a pro-life group to march either... so why should they allow a gay group to march?
Either way, beer drinkers don't tend to be people that want to be associated with the queer agenda.
There aren't enough queer bars to keep Sam Adams in business.
No fair! You actually read the article before commenting! :-P
Is the parade really refusing to let gay veterans march, or are they refusing to allow them to wear rainbow-colored thongs and "Pride" banners therefore turning a Catholic holiday into an orgy?
Fat Tire is a good beer.
I had to give up alcohol entirely, but these days I am making a list of businesses who support this movement to make depravity acceptable. Those on the list get no business from me.
"Sam Adams stinks anyways.
I'd rather have a Yuengling Lager instead."
I agree completely.
Honestly, the parade is probably better off without corporate sponsors or big-wigs, anyhow.
Excellent! That's my understanding of the parade. It was never intended to be a venue for political or social causes. It's about the Irish!
It would be interesting to see the effects of a boycott of Sam Adams over this. If Sam Adams suffers because of this, it may cause other companies to rethink their support of homosexuals.
FiRst round's on me!
You must be a real riot on the playground.
I took a quick look at Sam's site to post some quippy versions of there beer names with a gay theme.
Decided that FR would pull my comment and waste my time. FR not a fan of creative freedom.
see my correction on post #13
Please post that list some time. I think people would enjoy it AND HELP ADD TO IT.
Last summer Sam Adams dumped God, this year they are dumping Saint Patrick
Maybe they're supporting the court decision that says private groups can't be forced to let people in who are opposed to them. They do add they have no problem with gays and will serve anyone. So yes in a way they're supporting the parade
organizers—and their right to refuse to allow some people in.
"The Westboro Baptist Church is demanding to be allowed to march in Boston's gay pride parade. The organizers of the parade are citing a 1997 Supreme Court decision which said private groups shouldn't be forced to accept marchers who disagree with their views and don't play by their rules.
The organizers said, 'We would be happy to have them march provided they don't hold banners saying who they are or hold offensive signs.' Westboro Baptist said sorry, they would only march if they were allowed to carry banners; they do not agree with the organizers' stipulation about not holding banners...A bar in Boston agreed with the organizers about their private rights and refused to sell (XXX) beer, who pulled their sponsorship from the parade..."
That's probably who runs that company. They must be insane for doing this. First off gays don't drink beer on the scale that straights do, second gays are only a small percentage of the population, third, all Sam Adams is doing is ensuring their sales take a huge nose dive, 4th WHAT THE F DOES THE ST. PADDYS DAYS PARADE HAVE TO DO WITH SEXUALITY??
over the organizers refusal to let gay veterans march ...I'm cornfused. Sam says they will not sponsor if queer veterans can't march, correct? Organizers say it is for queer things, right? Aren't the organizers bigoted? Or is this just journalistic malpractice or am I too drunk to understand this issue?
Thanks for the clarification.
the answer to your question is that somehow, homosexuals have become fabulous and special./ so they feel the need to inject homosexuality into other events. They are special in a way which other interest groups are not.
St. Patrick's Day has nothing to do with homosexuality, but, they insist on injecting gay issues into it. And because we live in a politically correct world now, there is a tendency to give in to the demands of grievance groups such as homosexuals.
Ok just so I understand. What is required to walk in this parade? Can anyone walk in it or does one need proof they are Irish? Obviously they don't want to celebrate the event or they would just put on something green and fricking walk like a normal person in a parade. They want another public forum to shove their sexuality down people's throat.
It's a St Patrick's parade. Nothing to to homos, alternative lifestyles, etc. I side with the parade group in their decision to keep the focus on the intent and traditions of the event. Liberals always "demanding" this or that doesn't mean their wants are justified. In fact, they usually are not justified, they are mainly a bunch of attention whores. W/ apologies to whores.
I'd rather have a Yuengling Lager instead...Oh, just puke! Are you from KooKoo County?

I am trying to save a panel (panel1) as an image using DrawToBitmap, and that I have been able to do. The problem is, that panel1 is inside another panel with panel1 Location not equal to 0, 0. So when the image is captured, it for some reason does not capture at the top left of panel1 but at Location(0, 0) of it's parent. Here is the code I have.
Bitmap^ bmp = gcnew Bitmap(panel1->Width, panel1->Height);
panel1->DrawToBitmap(bmp, panel1->Bounds);
delete bmp;
It is capturing with the width and height of panel1, but that is cutting off the bottom right corner of the panel. Thanks in advance...
