I read about the Shadow in a glowing article in last years Guns & Ammo Buyer's Guide. It basically said it was a compact for professionals who need the best concealable 9mm and cost was not and issue. I remember thinking $1400.00 was pretty steep for 3" 9mm. The idea of the Heinie Tritium sights lowered and inset into the slide was a great idea!
I actually got to hold one recently and all I can say is it is probably worth the cost. But of course I didn't get to shoot it. I need $1300.00 for that experience.
It got me to thinking about someone paying that much for their concealed compact? I am going to add a SR9c for this purpose. But if I had the extra $ I would be tempted. If you think about it. Your compact is probbaly the most important handgun in your stable? It has to be concealable and comfortable at the same time and will probably get the most carry time. And it has to function every time! Shouldn't it warrant the most expense? But yet guns like the 709 and the LC9 are some of the least expensive. Or a gun like the Solo that from what I am reading isn't worth what is priced at?
No right answer. I am just wondering what is your opinion on what this carry option is actually worth to you?
My Glock 27 functions every time. Comfortable to carry everyday. Cost $500.00. Why pay more? $1400 for the Shadow? No way!
Average Joe wasnt real pleased with the Shadow.
Glock 22, 27 Gen 4
Ruger SP101 .357mag
S&W 637 Airweight
Ruger Single Six
Ruger Blackhawk Bisley 45 Colt
Mossberg 835 Grand Slam
You can get an SR9C for $400-$475 depending on where you shop, and is probably one of the best values in a good concealment pistol on the market right now. Great trigger, nuts on accurate, very soft shooting, and actually kinda cool looking with the polished stainless slide. 10+1 with a 17 round full size SR9 mag as a backup is not a bad thing at all.
If you can get past the huge loaded chamber indicator and the manual thumb safety, its a very good option.
I buy guns based on reliability, accuracy, and durability, and for particular niche CCW purposes. I have found plenty of
pistols to fit those criteria without spending $1,500. Actually, if you spend over $500, you probably could have done it for less. I think spending a bunch for a pistol also gives some folks a false sense of security that because they spent so much money on a pistol, they will naturally prevail in a lethal encounter with little or no practice or training. I know several personally......that I can outshoot with one of my Bersas that cost me $320 NIB.
Price does not make you safer, or any better shooter.
Give to them according to their deeds and according to the wickedness of their endeavors; give to them according to the work of their hands; render to them their deserts. Psalm 28:4
A review with nothing bad to say in a major gun magazine? That's something you don't see every day!
I collect ammo, not guns.
And, um...the review stated that the Shadow is a .45ACP, not a 9mm.
A man fires a rifle for many years, and he goes to war. And afterward he turns the rifle in at the armory, and he believes he's finished with the rifle. But no matter what else he might do with his hands - love a woman, build a house, change his son's diaper - his hands remember the rifle.
Unfortunetly some people do not agree with the above statement. Some people do not trust the less expensive brands of firearms, and think that in order to have a reliable firearm, one must spend X amount and above. I have met some people that think that at the range. God Bless
I didn't say you need to spend that much money. I was just curious what you feel is justified? I am getting the SR9c. But is fun to drive a Jag
The Shadow comes in both 9mm, 40. and 45. I have the magazine in front me and it was the 9mm model tested! Which also what I held.
Still think I'd go with the Springfield EMP if I wanted a very small, single action 9mm...

I think I will eventually get a full size 9mm to go with the SR9c. One that I can use at the range and carry OWB outdoors. I have not found a glock that fits my hand or feels right. I want to stay with 9mm platform. I have a 357 for woods carry.
I like the XDM full size 9mm and M&P. I need to shoot both to see which I like better.
I have a friend bought an STI 9mm,didn't look for model,he had to send it back twice so far and theres still something else that needs worked on,first range session first magazine,fte after a couple rounds,I looked at it and noticed the end of the ejector was missing/had broken off on a gun I know he paid at least 1400 and maybe even 1600 for
"Outside of the killings, Washington has one of the lowest crime rates in the country,"

I have the chance to buy a Shadow in 45 ACP for about 725.00 out the door. Comes with Papers/Case and Extra mag I know they hover around 1400.00 new, but I don't want a paperweight either. Never had a STI in all my history of owning handguns.
How do they compare to a CDP, Agent, Les Baer etc.
Why Waltz when you can Rock-N-Roll
I've had one 1911, and it was an STI Shadow .45ACP. 1911's aren't really my thing, so I ended up selling it. Initially, it had an incorrectly fit slide stop and extractor issues that affected feeding, but once that was corrected it was bulletproof.
Basically, it's an ultralight Officer's format. Very flat riding, particularly with the right grip panels. Being an aluminum frame, your options for having alterations done (ie, bobbing the bottom of the back strap) are limited. But otherwise, I'd say it's an excellent choice.
One thing I had wished for, on the Shadow, was a grittier front strap area. Was fine, but I prefer a very positive grip. YMMV.
Can't compare to various other similar platforms, as I've only had one 1911. But I looked for awhile and chose the Shadow over all others. Very likely, I'd do so again if I were to be "into" 1911's.
Recoil isn't that snappy, for as light in weight as it is. Snappier than a standard steel Commander, certainly, and more than I recall all-steel Officer's models being (back when). But not bad to the point of grossly affecting follow-up aim. The grip is fairly short (height-wise), so be sure you're comfortable with an abbreviated grip (as with the Kimber Ultra frames, for example). Can certainly add pinkie-extension floor plates to your magazines. Ran equally well with the STI mags, Wilson mags and (IIRC) a couple of McCormicks.
Particularly if you are comfortable dealing with any of the occasional tuning issues 1911's often have, then by all means consider the STI Shadow. A great conceal carry platform, I'd say.
Your best weapon is your brain. Don't leave home without it.
Thoughts: Justifiable self defense (A.O.J.).
Explain: How does disarming victims reduce the number of victims?
Reason over Force: Why the Gun is Civilization (Marko Kloos).
I don't do the whole compact thing. A Glock 19/1911 Commander sized gun is as small as I feel comfortable with unless it is a second gun. That said, I have had a chance to play with a friends Shadow in 45. It is a nice gun- but I don't really trust small 1911's due to past experiences with them.
As far as STI as a company- I've heard good and bad things. I have an STI that is 100% reliable and as accurate as I am. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend an STI to anyone looking for a 1911.

"for what it's worth" ...........
There are a couple of guys in our shooting club who want everyone to know how much money they have to throw around. They buy guns like that one. These are also the guys who seem to have the most malfunctions while shooting. Most of the rest of us defend ourselves very well with our Glocks, etc.
Getting old was not on my list of "things to do" in the Golden Years!

China Is Still Reviewing Google's License
A Chinese regulator said it needs more time to examine Google Inc.'s application to renew a license that allows the Internet company to operate key services in the country.
Separately, Europe's top antitrust chief said Wednesday he is looking closely at anticompetitive allegations against Google.
The comment is the government's first remarks on the U.S. company's status since it announced last month it was changing how users in China access its search service.
Wang Lijian, spokesman for China's Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, said Google's application for annual renewal of its Internet content provider license came close to the end-of-June deadline, pushing back the approval process.
"As Google submitted the application in late June, it is impossible to finish the examination in such a short time," Mr. Wang said.
The Internet content license Google uses technically expires in 2012, but must be renewed annually. Without a license, Google likely wouldn't be able to use its mainland Chinese search address. Mr. Wang declined to say whether approval was likely for Google.
On June 28 Google said it had resubmitted its application to renew the content license after altering its Chinese search home page in response to government criticism. The regulator had objected to Google's strategy of redirecting Chinese users who tried to access its Chinese address, google.cn, to a site in Hong Kong that Google doesn't censor.
Google had adopted that automatic-redirection strategy in March, saying it was no longer willing to comply with China's self-censorship rules because of the government's tightening limits on free speech and because of a series of cyberattacks that Google said originated in China.
Since the June 28 change, visitors to google.cn have been presented with a message in Chinese that says, "We have moved to google.com.hk." Users must then click on an image to get to the Hong Kong site, instead of being automatically redirected as before. If google.cn were to stop working, mainland Chinese users could still access the Hong Kong site directly, unless China's government choose to block access to it.
Many analysts had expected the company to encounter trouble with its Chinese site since it first announced plans in January to stop filtering its Chinese search results, a move that marked a highly unusual public slap by a foreign company at Beijing's censorship practices.
Over in Europe, Joaquin Almunia, the EU competition commissioner, said he is currently looking into "some allegations of anticompetitive conduct in relation to search."
Although the work is at an early stage, "I am looking at the allegations very carefully," given the importance of online search to the marketplace, Mr. Almunia said in a London speech.
The commission began investigating Google in late February, spurred on by complaints from three competitors, including Microsoft Corp. The probe is concentrating on the company's dominance in online searches and search advertising.
However, Mr. Almunia noted that understanding the competitive landscape of online markets is a complex task with its innovative business models that are constantly evolving.
The real question remains the actual degree of barriers to entry to competitors, Mr. Almunia said. How easy is it for consumers to switch from one service to another, and can a company use its strong position in one area such as online search, to prevent competitors from advancing in a related market, are questions the commission is asking.
Also all Web services tend to finance themselves through advertisement, which makes the online advertising market an important one to look at, Mr. Almunia said.
Google said in a statement it was working with the commissioner and his team to answer their questions, "including how Google's search ranking works to produce the most relevant and useful search results for users, and remains confident it operates within European competition law."

Lily Allen stalker sectioned after 'terrifying' break-in
Alex Gray had 'delusions' that the Smile singer had plagiarised his lyrics to support her chart career
Alex Gray had 'delusions' that the Smile singer had plagiarised his lyrics to support her chart career
Arcade Fire and Lily Allen have already been confirmed as performers
Sam Bailey has been crowned the winner of X Factor 2013, but ever since Rage Against the Machine raged against the Cowell machine (in terms of Christmas sales), it's not the guaranteed number one spot it was only a few years ago.
The singer said she did not choose backing dancers because of their race
Just as pop music seemed like it couldn't get any more exhaustively booty-licious, with Miley Cyrus gyrating in front of a dwarf dancer at the MTV awards, and the twerk pretty much hoovering up all the attention around on female bodies and their role in the music industry, along comes a new song and video from Lily Allen to shunt things in another direction.
Wouldn't January be easier if, instead of cutting out unhealthy food and jogging, dieters could employ a gadget to suck away that Christmas fat? Well that's what Dean Kamen is thinking. Mr Kamen, inventor of the Segway, has applied to patent a pump that can suck food and drink straight out of the stomach, allowing users to eat to their heart's content - then drain everything away through a valve surgically installed into their abdominal wall. Innovative or what? Still, if that seems a little OTT (and the tool is designed for the morbidly obese), here are other ways to lose the flab without breaking too much sweat.
As Twitter releases a tranche of data looking at the trends and top tweets of the year, we've got an alternative list. What was your favourite spat?
In 2010, Michael Parkinson sounded off about the state of the modern chat show. "The trouble with the talk show is everyone fancies their chances," he told The Daily Telegraph. "Even those on the extreme fringes of the ever-expanding world of modern celebrity reckon it's a doddle."
He already has the doe-eyed good looks and an army of female fans called the Mayniacs. Now Conor Maynard can really be called "Britain's Justin Bieber" after the Brighton musical prodigy displaced the Canadian idol from the upper reaches of the chart with his debut single.
You may never have heard of Conor Maynard, but his 'Mayniacs' have. Adam Sherwin on the singer hitting the big time – from his bedroom
Lana Del Rey is the latest, and fastest yet, internet sensation. But Elisa Bray wonders what's real in the social-media revolution
Damien Hirst, Harry Enfield and Angus Deayton were among 100 guests at the ceremony
As the champagne glasses clinked and the cameras flashed, an outburst of racial abuse scythed through the party atmosphere at the Baftas in the most sudden and shocking manner.
Readers review this week's big TV series
Wedding dresses are doing great business in Fashionland. All eyes may be on Kates Middleton (will she really wear McQueen?) and Moss (will she stand by Galliano?) but pop-retiree-turned-vintage-boutique-owner Lily Allen has stolen a measure of their thunder by revealing that she will be heading down the aisle in a frock from Chanel's Karl Lagerfeld after being spotted at the label's Paris studios. It knocks Pronuptia into a cocked hat, doesn't it?
Ten years ago, a rural corner of Cornwall was transformed into an environmental paradise.

Watch: Jerry Lewis's Holocaust Movie
Footage from a never-released Jerry Lewis Holocaust film buried since the early 1970s was unearthed on YouTube on Saturday. The now-87-year-old Jewish comedic actor had promised that no one would ever see what he admitted was the "bad, bad, bad" film titled, "The Day the Clown Cried."
The Ones That Missed the Cut
Earlier this week, Saul Austerlitz wrote about his recent author tour and five not-as-terrible-as-you-think movies.

Five Not-As-Terrible-As-You-Think Comedy Movies

Making a Mess of Comedy
Comedy, explained Aristotle, has a vague history, because at first no one took it seriously. We cannot know for certain if Aristotle was deadpanning, but his observation would amuse Saul Austerlitz. According to Austerlitz, American film comedy has not been taken seriously, either. In fact, the author quips, it is American film's "bastard stepchild." With his latest book "Another Fine Mess: A History of American Film Comedy," Austerlitz gives us a broad survey of the genre, hoping to spark debate.

Which sex is the worst about washing up? Why is it so important? We've got the dirty truth on how and when to wash your hands.
Home Treatment
Minor scrapes can be treated effectively at home. Home treatment can prevent infection and promote healing. If you do not have a high risk of infection, do not have other injuries, and do not need a tetanus shot or an evaluation by a doctor, you can clean and bandage a scrape at home. How a scrape heals depends on the depth, size, and location of the scrape.
Stop the bleeding with direct pressure to the wound.
Nonprescription products can be applied to the skin to help stop mild bleeding of minor cuts, lacerations, or abrasions. Before you buy or use a nonprescription product, be sure to read the label carefully and follow the label's instructions when you apply the product.
After you have stopped the bleeding, check your symptoms to decide if and when you should see a doctor.
A scrape may continue to ooze small amounts of blood for up to 24 hours and may ooze clear, yellowish, or blood-tinged fluid for several days.
Cleaning the wound
Clean the wound as soon as possible to reduce the chance of infection, scarring, and "tattooing." (If dirt or other debris is not removed from a scrape, the new skin will heal over it. The dirt can then be seen through the skin and may look like a tattoo.)
- Remove any splinters from the scrape before you get the splinters wet.
- Use a large amount of water under moderate pressure (faucet at least halfway open). Washing the wound will remove as much dirt, debris, and bacteria as possible, which will reduce the risk of infection.
- If you have a water sprayer in your kitchen sink, try using the sprayer to wash the wound. This usually removes most of the dirt and other objects from the wound. Avoid getting any spray from the wound into your eyes. It may be easier to rinse a large, dirty scrape in the shower.
- Wash the wound for 5 minutes with large amounts of clean, running water and soap. Mild dishwashing soap, such as Ivory, works well. Some nonprescription products are available for wound cleaning that numb the area so cleaning doesn't hurt as much. Be sure to read the product label for correct use.
- Scrub gently with a washcloth. Moderate scrubbing may be needed if the wound is very dirty. Scrubbing your scrape will probably hurt and may increase bleeding, but it is necessary to clean the wound thoroughly.
- Do not use rubbing alcohol, hydrogen peroxide, iodine, or Mercurochrome, which can harm the tissue and slow healing.

Cessna Citation Sovereign
|Citation Sovereign
|Business jet
|First flight
|February 2002
|In production
|Number built
|> 300
|Unit cost
US$17.895 million (2015)[1]
The Cessna Citation Sovereign (Cessna Model 680 Sovereign) is an American mid-size business jet developed by Cessna. It is currently the second largest member of the Citation product line in terms of take-off weight, with only the Citation X having roughly 6000 lbs greater take-off weight. The Sovereign is considered a transcontinental aircraft with the capability to fly Los Angeles to Hawaii greater than 98% of the time, while complying with ETOPS requirements, and is used primarily for corporate travel.
Design and development[edit]
In the late 1990s, Cessna saw the need for a high-performance jet midway between the Excel/XLS size and the Citation X. The result was the Model 680 Citation Sovereign, powered by two Pratt & Whitney Canada PW306C turbofan engines with FADEC controls. It uses the Honeywell Primus Epic glass cockpit avionics suite, coupled with dual Honeywell FMZ2000 FMS units. Its claim to fame is that it can take off and land in short distances, thanks to a moderately swept high aspect ratio wing, and (when light) 92 knot Vref speed. It was first unveiled to the public in 1998 at the NBAA exhibition in Las Vegas, Nevada. The Sovereign seats eight passengers in a typical cabin configuration, with a maximum high-density capacity of 12, in addition to the crew of two.
First flight of the Sovereign took place in February, 2002, with FAA certification awarded in June, 2004. Customer deliveries began later that year.[2][3] EASA certification came in June 2014.[4]
Specifications (Citation Sovereign)[edit]

- Crew: 2
- Capacity: 12 passengers / 2,689 lb (1,220 kg) payload

Socially Inept
I watch shows like "How I met your mother" or "Big Bang Theory" and I feel so envious of those characters. I love their relationships that they have with each other. They may fight with each other, hurt each other, but they work it out and still have each other's backs. They are there for each other.
I've never had that. There were people that I talked to, but that is basically it. When I would try, I would start to obsess about how I acted, was I being too needy? Too boring? Too domineering? Too this, too that. I think on some levels I sabatoged myself. I became too concerned with how not to act, that I then started to act exactly how I didn't want to act.
Then, I have another thing....there are days I can't leave my home. I have to fight my agoraphobia. Sometimes I am victorious! Sometimes I'm not. I can't really explain it to some one who doesn't understand and who then thinks I'm being all needy and seeking attention. And to add a bit of spice to that mix, I have OCD. That is a every second battle that consists with continual dialogue of "You don't need to wash your hands that many time" "You don't have to use the bathroom that many times" "You don't have to...." By the time I get done with all of that, the day is over and I am tired and the other person has already texted to say that something has come up and maybe next time. Which of course means never.
It's ok, I accept it. It is what it is. To be honest, I often wonder how good a friend could I be? Maybe I'm just not meant to have friends. I geuss I can live with that. I am now wondering if this social ineptness can leak online? Oh well, like I said, it is what it is.
Today - I feel good.

A great man of principle like Pat Robertson was bound to recognize one of his own kind.
Pat probably figured out that, with church attendance continuing to fall in the United States, most of those aborted fetuses were going to be non-Christians anyway.
By killing and torturing non-Christian adults, the Reverend gets to fight the Crusade on two fronts.
I'm new to looking through the SLOG (as in only a couple of days) and I'm already disgusted by you people. Permit me a little diatribe here:
For all the uber-liberal claims and pompous "we're the most open-minded people around" speak I hear out of the vast majority of you I have yet once read anything even remotely approaching fair or balanced (yes, I chose those words purposefully for their irony).
I am truly disgusted by the unabashed filth, slander and hate-speak out of your collective mouths. There is no intelligent discussion or legitimate criticism on here at all - it's complete trash. And by trash I mean exactly that; majoratively untrue garbage slung at anything resembling moderate or god forbid, Republican. Partner that with the absolutely blind defense of anyone whose politics you agree with and I see the most stunningly closed-minded people I've ever encountered, and I've lived in many places in this country you people would claim to be backwards.
Has it not ocurred to you all that your hate for others and your unwillingness to accept other viewpoints (or even listen to them without screaming obsenities) is exactly what you claim so vehemently of the other side of the political spectrum? You should all be ashamed of yourselves for perverting the world with all of this bile.
Am I to understand that to be a 'good' liberal, I am supposed to be open-minded to Republicanism? And not fucking swear? Just clarifying, yo.
Hi Tom. I don't know who told you to come to the Slog where you can meet Mary Poppins and her happy band of charm school graduates, but they done lied to you.
I really hope you're not seriously reading a blog like this expecting to find "fair and balanced."
Tizzle - #4
Yes, that's exactly what I'm saying. You should be open-minded to other opinions and not slander people simply because you don't agree with them. It gives all people on the left a bad image.
Elenchos - #5
Well thank you, I finally know for sure that even slightly differing viewpoints are unwelcome here because it doesn't homogenize with the "group of individuals"
Okie dokie. Now that's settled, so somebody say something interesting.
Ooh, playing the victim already. Are you in the Christian Minority, too?
It makes you wonder what kind of deal Giuliani made with Robertson.
@8 - I certainly hope you're not expecting something from Tom with that request.
Jesus, Tom. You Republicans have fucked this country up enough. Let us at least have SLOG, okay? I tell you what, I'll be all kind and friendly once those oh-so-tolerant Republicans stop blaming big gay ol' me for the downfall of the nation, mmmmkay?
@3 - Go fuck yourself, Tom.
Evangelicals have always believed in torture. At least is sure felt like it as I was growing up. I still bear the psychological scars. Tom sounds like a blast from my past. Nice.
Dan, torture kicks ass. Stop being such a fucking pussy.
Sensitively, Mr. Poe.
Perfect responses from all of you - thank you for making my point. Go fuck myself? For what?
I feel really sorry for you. Living in such a hate-filled world must be really scary and depressing.
And no, I'm neither Republican nor a Christian. I'm a registered Democrat who's new in town and dissapointed by the Pacific Northwest that I'd heard so much about. Politically active? I'm sure you all are. But an open-minded community? That's a joke.
Tom, you are not a Democrat. Thought you should know.
You're welcome here, Tom.
Though, just a hint: You're probably not going to win friends or get people to read your manifesto with the hypocritical admonishments and finger-wagging as in # 3. Its not like we dont get that from your moron god, Jesus W. Bush, five times a week and twice on Sundays. You'll get more interest in your ideas or opinions with sugar instead of salt, yeah?
Besides, we need someone to give us some insight into the sick, twisted cesspool known as the conservative mind.
Are you a proud, gay Republican with the hots for Ayn Rand? Is there any chance that weve got to be kidding you? Are we to behold you when you present yourself (or ecce homo as they say in the original Latin)? That would just be delicious.
Yes, living in a hate-filled world is both extremely scary and extremely depressing. Luckily, we won't have to live in one much longer, because we'll all be dead of Global Warming in 50 years, because some people think that being mean is bad. I mean, everybody has a right to their opinions, am I right?
Also, in this scenario, the Republican Opinion is that I shouldn't have my opinion, so I should respect that.
Mr Poe:
I'm not a democrat because I don't believe in disrespecting others and blindly ridiculing them? Wow, good to know. I guess I'll have to go back and read my manual again...
I've made several other posts on this forum recently with completely unabbrasive comments and have had the same hate-filled responses if I don't 100% agree with the points of others. Good idea though. And no, sorry to dissapoint you, I'm not gay nor (once again) republican. Very clever though. You can copy and paste Latin - must mean yer smarrrrt.
Please point out where I said you shouldn't have an opinion. Seriously, I'm challenging you - find it and post it here.
Reading Comprehension, get it today!
Deal. As soon as you take elementary grammar I'll try to read your posts more clearly.
Haha, I can't really fault you for not getting the ecce homo joke, but you really don't understand anything.
@20 -
I've made several other posts on this forum recently with completely unabbrasive comments and have had the same hate-filled responses if I don't 100% agree with the points of others.
Cut the lecturing, present some evidence, and maybe everyone will cut you some slack. If you want polite, go hang out at Yahoo Answers.
I called you clever Chris. Did you need more stroking than that (so to speak). You must be used to more praise on here than I gave you, sorry. You are very witty with your Christian alliteration and the pun between the classical, roman "homo" and the modern, slang "homo."
Feel better now?
I said excuse my diatribe didn't I? lol.
Tom @ 20,
Yeah, that last bit was my loving homage to the right-wing commenters of the past who've fallen on their swords in these threads. Ah, good times.
Do try not to take Slog or yourself too seriously and, before commenting, ask yourself the eternal question: To snark or not to snark?
Witness @16, 20, 22, 25 - re my call @11 : told ya.
True dat. Boring.
I'll explain, because I'm bored. In no particular order:
ecce homo is/was a frequent commenter on the Slog. I don't care to give a detailed character assessment, just know that Andrew was making an amusing reference to an amusing(or awfully annoying) fellow.
Nobody here really knows me, so nobody praises me.
I never said you were challenging my opinion, unless you've changed your mind on whether or not you're a Republican. The idea was, there are people actively fighting to get rid of gays, and disagreeing politely with them won't get you anywhere. All of those people think that my opinion is neither worthwhile, nor rationally tenable. Fuck them.
Comma Splices are not elementary grammar, and everything I write is perfectly readable, if often informal. I comma splice when I talk, and we're having a conversation, even if you're ears are covered and you're singing loudly.
I asked if you were in the Christian minority, because you immediately acted as if everyone was jumping on top of you because you had a slightly different opinion. In fact, it was because you're fundamentally wrong about how to treat awful people like Pat Robertson. Now, you can do what you like, but it's silly to think that we're giving liberals a bad name, when it's people like Pat Robertson that are giving us a bad name. It's not blind ridicule or warrantless disrespect.
Now then, I'm sorry I hurt your feelings. Stop fucking crying about it.
Open-mindedness is reserved for those whose past actions have warranted that respect. Pat Robertson has proven time and time again to be a hateful, vicious little man whose love of power far surpasses that of his love for Jesus and Christianity. At some point, an intelligent person needs to realize the futility in listening to certain people or ideas.
There are times when trying to be "fair and balanced" (and not in the Fox News way) hinders progress of any kind, which is often exactly the outcome those yelling it wish to occur.
This Tom guy is really smart!!
Robertson is an ungodly, hypocritical, crooked piece of trash. This isn't a matter of agreeing to disagree. He deserves any and all criticism he can get.
If waterboarding an unborn fetus is wrong, I don't want to be right!
So let me get my priorities straight:
1. Torturning the islamofacists.
2. Overturning Roe v. Wade
3. Keeping gays and lesbians second class citizens.
Ok, got it, just wanted to make sure.
Dianna @ 34,
Let's keep this going : )
4. Keep donations rolling into the ministry and/or Arabian horse farm.
5. Continue to tell eager and gullible 20 and 30 somethings that their neighbors are gonna fry in hay-yell while gobbling up real estate in Seattle and making it clear that this is not the least bit like an elaborate Pyramid scheme (which--in fact--it totally is).
6. More text messages to underage boys promising them jobs, sex and cash while tooling around in Mercedes convertible.
7. Finish today's shopping list: wetsuits, condoms, rope, diapers, Bibles, $20 bills, a king-size black dildo and Freedom®. NEVER FORGET!
Ungodly is a bad thing? If only he were ungodly. On the contrary, his fetid godliness enables the other items on your list of his best qualities. Don't insult the truly ungodly.
How To (not) Win Friends and Influence People:
Immediately insult, chastise, and instruct them before you've even been properly introduced.
There ARE divergent opinions tolerated here, but not when they're presented in a scolding, now-listen-to-your-betters-children fashion. And, yeah, some of us swear. This ain't fuckin' Sunday school.
How can you see the names Giuliani and Pat Robertson in the same sentence and not fucking swear?
Frankly, I hate the shit out of both of them, and would gladly tell them so right to their hateful fucking faces.
Hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, and hate. And you know why? Because both of these assholes - along with the Chimperor - have truly earned it (both in word and in deed).
Tom, if you want David Broder-esque centrist fluff (ie - establishmentarian appeasement in the face of evil) in a Seattle blog, I'd suggest David Brewster's posts at Crosscut.

2008 Belated Blogging, Part II
posted by April 11 at 17:30 PMon
There's a bunch of crap on my desk, including the arts section from the April 2 issue of New York Times. On the cover of the section is the headline "Like the Candidates, TV's Political Pundits Show Signs of Diversity," and under that headline an arrangement of photos of Donna Brazile (on CNN), Michelle Bernard (on MSNBC), Alex Castellanos (on CNN), Rachel Maddow (on MSNBC), Amy Holmes (on CNN), and a panel of four male CNN political commentators (Paul Begala, Jamal Simmons, Roland S. Martin, and Bill Bennett).
This has been sitting on my desk for a week and a half because I keep meaning to blog about the article, but I can't figure out what I think of it. It's weird. It's full of paragraphs like these:
Their counterparts at MSNBC include Michelle Bernard, a lawyer by training, who is black and conservative; Rachel Maddow, who is white and has a show on the liberal Air America Radio; Eugene H. Robinson, a black columnist for The Washington Post; and Joe Watkins, a Republican strategist who is also black. Last week Harold Ford Jr., a former congressman from Tennessee, made his MSNBC debut as a political analyst. Mr. Ford, a black Democrat, had been an analyst at Fox News.
Juan Williams, who is black and a National Public Radio correspondent, is a longtime regular on Fox News Sunday, which also uses minority female analysts like Angela McGlowan, a Republican strategist who is black; Michelle Malkin, a conservative Filipino-American journalist; and Linda Chavez, who is Hispanic and held positions in the Reagan administration. A recent addition is Laura Ingraham, a syndicated radio host who is white.
"It sounds like one of those Onion stories that goes, 'Man Who Saves Family in Fire Is Gay,'" said Jen Graves when I read those paragraphs to her just now. Graves, who is white, was paraphrasing this. (First sentence: "Near-tragedy turned to joy Monday, as area residents Phillip and Karen Widman and their two children were saved from their burning house on Locust Street by Kevin Lassally, a homosexual man.") That Onion parody is exactly to the point: all this obsessive labeling, while not bad or wrong or anything quite so strong as that, is just weird.
Then comes the weirdest word in the NYT piece:
A more saladlike pundit mix has been front and center in the last couple of weeks…
"Saladlike"? Really? The melting pot became stew became a salad? One can't but help remember the introduction to Seattle Weekly's Best of Seattle 2006, wherein "the editors" wrote:
In this 21st edition of Best of Seattle, we're flavoring our annual review with the freshest of ingredients: immigrant Seattleites.
Immigrants as "ingredients." Awesome. Mmm! These black and brown chunks are so peppery!

|"Heathentown" graphic novel on sale in January
Coming fresh off a run on âThe Crooked Manâ for DC Comicsâ web venture Zuda, the married creative team of Corinna Sara Bechko and Gabriel Hardman turn to the old fashioned ink and paper format with a black-and-white graphic novel from the Shadowline imprint at Image Comics. Bechko, an experienced writer whose day job is that of zookeeper at the Playboy Mansion, and Hardman, a Hollywood storyboard artist on such films as âSpider-Man 3â and âSuperman Returnsâ and illustrator of such Marvel titles as âMonster-Size Hulk,â sat down with CBR News to talk about âHeathentown.â
Heathentown follows Anna Romano, a woman who sees her friend brutally murdered while studying in Africa. When she attends the funeral in a tiny town in the Florida Everglades she finds that things aren't what they seem, and, in an attempt to discover the truth, digs up her friend's coffin, unleashing an ancient malevolence bent on her destruction.
âSo many recent horror stories are played tongue in cheek,â Hardman told CBR. âWe wanted to create a scary story with a lot of twists, turns and crazy horror violence thrown in!â
âWhile crafting âHeathentownâ we tried to confront the horror aspects head-on,â Bechklo said. âWhat would it really be like to see a monster? Terrifying yes, but also awe-inspiring.â
The story focuses on Anna, of who Bechko said, âShe is the outsider who gets pulled into a situation in a tiny town where she must contend with bizarre, possibly undead creatures. I think all she really wants is a rational explanation. Of course, she will never get one since humans are not always rational.â
|Page from "Heathentown"
Bechko attributes inspiration for âHeathentownâ to simply having called the Sunshine State home. âI defy anyone to grow up in Florida and not believe that there are monsters in the swamps! How could there not be?â she remarked.
Bechko grew up in Sarasota, Florida, on the Gulf Coast about an hour south of Tampa. âThe Everglades were a bit farther south but my family often took trips down there for the weekend, and as a Girl Scout I went camping there many times,â she explained. âI loved visiting the swamps as a kid and was lucky to have several big wilderness parks within an hour of my home. I think the creepiest experience I ever had in a swamp was when my Girl Scout troop thought we were being attacked by the legendary Skunk Ape. Of course, it turned out to be someone's father dressed up in a horrible costume to scare us.â
Hardman has a target audience for âHeathentown.â âIf you like H.P. Lovecraft, Berni Wrightson, EC Comics, Warren books like âCreepyâ and âEerie,â this OGN is for you!â he said.
Added Bechko, âThat said, I don't think we went into making âHeathentownâ with the idea of a target audience. We wanted to create a book that we would want to read - one that was atmospheric, suspenseful, frightening and graceful. Hopefully we fulfilled at least a little bit of that mandate.â
While many collaborators in comics find each other through conventions, internet forums, or bring matched up by editors, Hardman and Bechko didnât have far to look at all as they are a husband-and-wife team. âWe had spent years working on our own projects, often in the same room but separately, for our entire married life,â said Bechko. âWe figured it was time to team-up on the same project.â
|Page from "Heathentown"
âCorinna had this story knocking around,â Hardman added, âand I had wanted to try my hand at a comic after several years working as a storyboard artist on movies like âX-Men 2â, âSuperman Returns,â âSpider-Man 3.â We decided the story would be perfect for a stand-alone graphic novel and set to work.â
Previously, the pair have also collaborated on the webcomic âThe Crooked Manâ for Zuda Comics, which they plan to continue in the near future.
âI've also recently had a lot of fun doing work for Marvel on âMonster-Size Hulkâ with Jeff Parker and the âSkaar: Son of Hulk Specialâ with Greg Pak,â Hardman said. âI'll be doing more Marvel work in the future, too.â
Hardman approached Heathentown with the philosophy âAtmosphere is everything.â In âHeathentown,â he combines modern and classic styles to create a timelessness. âI have been studying and learning from the work of great comics artists like Alex Toth, Berni Wrightson, Noel Sickles, Gene Colan, Wally Wood, and Alberto Breccia for years,â he explained. âFor âHeathentown,â I wanted to take those influences and filter them through a modern sensibility.â
âWe felt like the story naturally played out as a single graphic novel as opposed to being broken up in a mini,â Bechko said on their decision to publish âHeathentownâ as a black-and-white graphic novel. âSerializing a story is a great tool too, but the OGN format just seemed to fit the tone of âHeathentown.â Luckily Jim [Valentino, publisher] and Kristen [Simon, editor] agreed.â
|Pages from "Heathentown"
âThe book was always intended to be printed in black and white,â Hardman continued. âIt's key to the atmosphere we set out to achieve. I love to work in color too but this story screamed black and white.â
Whatâs next for the duo? Is there a possibility for more âHeathentown?â Bechko responded, âI think this story is complete in and of itself, but never ever say never ever, as some say. That said, I think we will be working on other projects for the foreseeable future. I am very excited about a science fiction project we are working on called âArthur McBride.ââ
âSo am I,â said Hardman. âIt's an epic sci-fi story told from the point of view of two refugee cousins who are thrust into the center of a galaxy spanning revolutionary war.â
âHeathentownâ reaches store shelves on January 21, 2009.

CHINA: Audi AG sales surpass 400,000 units for first time in 2012
By Dave Leggett | 11 January 2013
Audi set a new record in the Chinese market last year. Deliveries in China and Hong Kong exceeded the 400,000 mark for the first time, a 29.6 percent increase compared to the previous year. "In the year 2012, we continued the success story in our biggest sales market," stated Luca de Meo, Member of the Board of Management for Sales and Marketing. "With this record we have increased our lead over the competition, further strengthening our number one position in the premium segment in China."
The company set a new sales record for the A4 L, A6 L and Q5 model series built in Changchun: 322,700 vehicles for a year-on-year increase of 28.1 percent. With 89,488 deliveries, Audi Q5 sales increased by 64.9 percent. Also the A6 L, which underwent a model change in 2012, achieved a new record; 132,872 customers chose China's best-selling business sedan (up 17.3 percent). With 100,340 units sold, sales of the long version of the A4 rose 18.7 percent. All three models made in China lead their respective market segments, Audi says.
Sales volumes for imported Audi vehicles rose by 36.2 percent to 83,138. The Audi Q7 was particularly successful with 21,360 units sold (up 10 percent) as well as the Audi A8/S8 with 18,857 vehicles delivered (up 51.7 percent). The compact Audi Q3 SUV, available since mid-2012, managed 2,145 units delivered.
The dealer network was significantly expanded throughout the country last year. The number of dealerships was increased by 60 to approximately 290 in more than 130 cities - averaging more than one new opening every week.
This year, the company will celebrate "25 Audi years in China" together with its joint-venture partner FAW. Further market launches are planned, of the locally produced Audi Q3 for example. At the end of this year, production of automobiles will begin at our new site in Foshan in southern China.

Tech Free Stuff for Xbox Nerds
posted by January 23 at 11:22 AMon
Do you own an Xbox 360? Then you should turn it on at some point between today and Sunday, connect it to the Internet, and dig through its downloadable games section. Doesn't matter if you subscribe to the system's paid online service or not; Microsoft is giving away a free game until Sunday, and it ain't too shabby. Undertow is the latest in the burgeoning sea-combat genre, ranking right up there with…uh…um…the Jaws game for NES from the '80s? No matter. You swim around and blow people up. Looks nice, controls smoothly. There's not much of a learning curve, so the fun is immediate, and now that tons of people are nabbing the game, Undertow's online team fights might finally be interesting.
Boy, aren't our friends in Redmond some charitable folks? Thing is, the move is in response to the Xbox Live servers crashing and melting a few weeks ago, right around Christmas. Fanboys got pissed, posting their rage on Digg an average of two times for every racist epithet they weren't able to shout on Xbox Live during the holidays. Even though MS quickly announced a game giveaway to calm the throngs, it was too little too late for three gamers who filed a class-action lawsuit. This is rich—the week of semi-outage comes to a grand total of not even one dollar per person ($50/year = 13 cents/day). Yeah, I get how class-action suits work—huge lump sum to cover every affected person—but seriously. If you're lucky, guys, Microsoft will settle by offering you a free copy of Xbox Scientific Calculator '09.

Muncie, IN
The first look at Ben Affleck in the new Batman costume from the Man of Steel sequel generated a lot of buzz when it was revealed earlier this month, but it also triggered plenty of questions. Near the top of the list, given the black-and-white photo: What color — or colors — is it? For the answer, we turn to Kevin Smith.
The filmmaker, who teased in November that he'd seen the design, spoke more about the costume in the most recent episode of his Hollywood Babble-On podcast, revealing it's not the all-black scheme we've come to expect from big-screen depictions:
That's not a representation of what the suit looks like. What the suit looks like… and I was always kind of keeping it quiet until they revealed it, but they've revealed it. And you can kind of see, and anybody that … you've seen some people take the picture and color it online. If you want to see what this fucking suit looks like, you just go to Frank Miller's The Dark Knight Returns, go to the third book, "Hunt the Dark Knight" … it's the exact fucking outfit he's wearing. That's why I hugged that guy all those months ago.
Smith also said the Batmobile and costume seen in the photo released by director Zack Snyder may just be the tip of the iceberg. "What if it's one of a few Batmobiles?" he said. "What if that's one of a few outfits in the movie? I suspect that's the case."
The untitled Man of Steel sequel opens May 6, 2016.
(via Cinema Blend)
"What if that's one of a few outfits in the movie?"
Yay! "Rainbow Batman"!!
I hated that outfit in the comic. In fact, I hated that Batman. He's really just a thug when Miller writes him. I guess it's too much to hope for that we'll ever get a movie rendition of the Bat who's main influence is his portrayal in The Animated Series.
Well if you think about it TDKR influenced the movie that influenced the animated version.
So dark blue and grey for the main suit? I'm in.
Nope… I think the Batman:TAS (1992) was influenced more by the Batman comics of the 1970s and 1980s. it's a far lighter and much more balanced tone than what followed in the Batman comics post-TDKR. Even the first-year Batman comics (1939) weren't quite this grim! 1997-1999 Batman:TAS episodes were darker along with new character designs but they never got as ridiculously overpumped and sarcastic as Miller's Batman was. You know there was a time when Batman wasn't the 'Bat god' or colossal dick he is today. He was actually sort of likeable, at least honorable, and had a life as Bruce Wayne. I don't think you can really say that after the 1990s comics…
When you're a teenager and look at TDKR, you might think it's cool… look at it 20 years later, and the story hasn't aged particularly well — especially books 3 and 4. The second half of TDKR was particularly craptastic, IMHO. The Dark Knight Strikes Back only marginally makes Books 3 and 4 of TDKR look classic by comparison.
At any rate, Batman:TAS has a much better writing average than anything I've seen of Miller's, Morrison's, or the current DC Comics writers. Yes, they got to cherrypick the best comic runs (Denny O'Neil, Neal Adams, Marv Wolfman, Steve Englehart, Marshall Rogers) for story ideas for the show — and most of the really good Batman stories were written well before the 1990s and certainly the 21st century — but even the worst of the original-to-TAS stuff was better than the jokes being written monthly today… Harley Quinn was actually likeable and cute and NOT the psycho slut that's being published by DC today, too.
I hate that they will have to turn Supes into a dick in order to get batman and Supes to fight each other
