Breaking: Rick Sanchez fired from CNN

The formal announcement is shockingly brief — which, actually, speaks volumes.
Monday's "Daily Show" should be a very special episode indeed, my friends.
CNN released this statement today:
"Rick Sanchez is no longer with the company. We thank Rick for his years of service and we wish him well."
I assume everyone already knows why, but if you missed Ed's post this morning, read it now. I figured they'd keep Sanchez off the air today and then roll him back out on Monday, formal apology in hand. Instead, nothing but a "kthxbai" press release and a pink slip. Wowza. He'll be remembered as a uniter, bringing left and right together in shared amazement at his lunkheadedness. At least, though, we finally have an answer to the question of what it takes to disqualify you from working at CNN. It's an awfully high bar, but darned if he didn't clear it.
As for his next career move, his new book — entitled, believe it or not, "Conventional Idiocy" — is currently ranked #39,028 in Amazon sales, so I'm guessing that a sequel isn't in the works. Fox News is a bad fit for him for obvious reasons, and as for MSNBC — well, let's just say that I doubt Olby will be willing to let the following clip slide. Maybe he could catch on at … "The Daily Show"?

This MUST be a Jewish conspiracy against poor Rick Sanchez. What other reason could there be for CNN to fire this incredibly competent journalist!!
I blame Bush!
ihasurnominashun on October 1, 2010 at 7:42 PM
I just went to Twitter because I knew Andy Levy would knock this one out of the park. He didn't disappoint:
BREAKING: Rick Sanchez leaving CNN to spend less time with the Jews.
Kaisersoze on October 1, 2010 at 7:46 PM
And this one:
You left us no choice, @ricksanchezcnn. You left us no choice.

Still laughing, good line Allah.

Only time I ever saw this overbearing idiot was when channel surfing for news on that tsunami fizzle. Who is this overbearing idiot? He can't do simple math, and he's rude about it. Found out it was this guy and saw that the opinion that he's an overbearing idiot is fairly widely held.
curved space on October 1, 2010 at 7:49 PM
I thought he stepped way over the line late last month in a report where he was trying to downplay the violence on the border news. His show was strongly asserting a border agent shot himself rather than his story of being shot by an illegal trafficing drugs. I said a little prayer then in the dentist office where I was subjected to his nonsense that he be fired.
You're all welcome. No, really! No thanks necessary.
hawkdriver on October 1, 2010 at 7:51 PM
Here is a man who has called Republican Conservatives, vile names and spread his venom over the air waves and he is cheered and praised. Calls a fellow liberal a bigot and now he is out of a job. No doubt, he will be on MSNBC with Keith & Chris. Maybe he could hire Gloria Allred and claim he was fired because he was Cuban. She is just as sleazy as he is and would probably take the case.
flintstone on October 1, 2010 at 7:51 PM
Fareed Zakaria believes the same things Sanchez does and then some, he just is so much more

Actually, i think Sanchez was on MSNBC before moving to CNN, or am i wrong?
clearbluesky on October 1, 2010 at 7:07 PM
Yes you are wrong. Miami residents have always reported he was a local "interest" reported there who had the reputation as the Cuban Ted Baxter long before they laughed than CNN even hired him.
Marcus on October 1, 2010 at 7:12 PM
No, he was, i found it on wiki after i wrote that.
clearbluesky on October 1, 2010 at 7:53 PM
So they don't fire him for the profoundly stupid and hateful things he has said over the years but when his anti-semitism becomes too obvious to hide they can him? Which will further fuel the conspiracy theorists spewing the hate speech against the J-E-W-S.
I really don't understand all the inordinate attention paid to mice and fleas when there are alligators and sharks about. Is it some kind of diversion?
Adherents to shariah are fundamentally and unalterably opposed to the survival of the Constitution of the United States. Shariah is based on the Quran, which Muslims believe is the "uncreated" word of Allah as dictated to the prophet Mohammed; hadiths, the sayings of Mohammed; and agreed interpretations by Islamic scholars. Shariah commands that Muslims carry out jihad indefinitely until the Dar al-Harb, or House of War, where shariah is not enforced, is brought under the domination of the Dar al Islam, or House of Islam (literally the House of Submission), where shariah is enforced.
Shariah commands both Islamic terrorism and pre-violent, "civilizational jihad" or "stealth jihad," depending on necessity and circumstances. Those who work to insinuate shariah into the United States are conspiring to subvert and replace the Constitution, because under shariah, freedom of religion and other civil liberties enshrined in the Constitution – and the very concept of man-made law – are incompatible with Islam.
Any system of man-made law is considered illicit under shariah, where Allah and only Allah has provided the law.
This is not a radical concept in Islam, but a fundamental tenet of the faith. Shariah is held by mainstream Islamic authorities – not simply fringe extremist elements who have supposedly "hijacked" the religion – to be the perfect expression of divine will and justice. All Muslims, regardless of where they live, must submit to be governed by shariah, a cradle-to-grave "complete way of life" that mandates social, cultural, military, religious and political norms.
Luka on October 1, 2010 at 8:00 PM
Is there a pool on who he runs down after driving drunk tonight? His last victim took 5 years to die…
All those who didn't see this coming, raise your hand.
Yeah, didn't think so.
There are some things that nobody can safely say without risking their employment status, as Mr.Sanchez just found out the hard way.
Dark-Star on October 1, 2010 at 8:01 PM
Don't worry Rick, you'll be able to live comfortably from your lucrative book royalties. /s
mizflame98 on October 1, 2010 at 8:03 PM
Is CAIR going to give Sanchez a Lifetime Achievement Award like they did Helen Thomas?
I think he's a little too young for that. Maybe after he takes a job with Al Jazeera. Can't see anybody else hiring him.

NNtrancer on October 1, 2010 at 8:12 PM
Fired yeah, but how much you want to bet he was laid off, The difference being he'd get unemployment if it was the latter?
Think of it … up to a year of funemployment.

Wow, I would say good for CNN except that I don't think they should have hired him in the first place. He's a first class loser.

Kaisersoze on October 1, 2010 at 8:58 PM
Hey Allah & Ed …
A wee thought just occurred to me … with Ken Jautz coming off of a noted and successful run at HLN just days ago and replacing an ousted Jon Klein, kinda makes sense that Jautz wouldn't need much incentive to start swinging an axe around CNN to shake it up and put the whole place on notice.
So very bad timing for Ricky to have yet another bout of stupidity!
Good riddance Ricky – you were a pathetic excuse for a 'journalist' let alone, an anchor.

Maybe if he start drooling, foaming at the mouth, and rage like a loon that everything is Bush's fault, Sanchez may have a future at MSNBC.
pilamaye on October 1, 2010 at 9:15 PM
Those hebs work quick.
Seriously though Sanchez was a nut and not even an entertaining one. What got him on a Jon Stewart rant in the first place?
Dash on October 1, 2010 at 9:35 PM
He'll get a job at MSNBC. You can take that to the bank.
SoulGlo on October 1, 2010 at 9:38 PM
Calling Rush Limbaugh a bigot = Awards and praise

What got him on a Jon Stewart rant in the first place?
Dash on October 1, 2010 at 9:35 PM
I think the wiki article "clearbuesky" mentions above lays it out best. I always suspected Sanchez was pissed that CNN would have a prime-time slot open up and offer it to someone else other than him (That soon-to-be cancelled when it debuts "Spitzer/Parker" show). I can imagine Sanchez furious and the bosses telling him he "wasn't ready" and he attributes it to being Hispanic as well as being thought of as a "joke". And who uses him as a "joke" most often? Glenn Beck and Jon Stewart. Rick hates Glenn Beck – but Jon Stewart has to be more of a dagger through the heart for Rick because Stewart has ridiculed him, also in Sanchez's mind ridiculed him only because he is Hispanic, and Sanchez just lashes out. I think Sanchez couldn't care less anymore if he was fired.
Marcus on October 1, 2010 at 10:04 PM
As big a doofus as he is, CNN probably wanted to get rid of him anyway and this was enough of a reason to do it. Now, I'll bet they don't have to buy out his contract.

Rick Sanchez: See! It's proof that those joooooozzz are racist to us Latinos!! I think Beck, O'Reilly and Hannity had a hand in this!
mizflame98 on October 1, 2010 at 10:39 PM
I would not be surprised at all that he was on a short rope anyway. I bet they already had warned him. Then that last straw happened. Usually people don't go after their boss publicly unless you know your days at that company are limited. Going after Jon Stewart is one thing. Going after CNN . . . beyond dumb.
Voter from WA State on October 1, 2010 at 10:57 PM
I don't get it. Why hasn't Geraldo Rivera already attacked CNN for its obvious, upfront, racist anti-Hispanic bias?
RedPepper on October 1, 2010 at 11:04 PM
Marcus on October 1, 2010 at 10:04 PM
Sounds good, but it's funny that 'Sanchez is a joke', and the guy who got the slot is Client No. 9.
slickwillie2001 on October 1, 2010 at 11:07 PM
i will say this.. i do think the new chief wanted to clean house, and Sanchez gave them a reason to.
That being said, this is the first time I think ive ever said this… but "Hey FOX! This is how you get rid of pieces of s— newscasters and commentators…. Now follow CNN's lead and DUMP Bob Beckel forever!"
DaSaintFan on October 1, 2010 at 11:15 PM
Oh, my. The smartest thing I ever heard him say is in the Olby-MadCow clip, and it plays the day he became a free agent.
Too funny.
This guy's entire time in the light has been marked only by the stench his emitted. What a bonehead.

What's really funny is that from what I've read the "over/under" prediction for the life of that new show is about 3 months. Despite overwhelming evidence they should, CNN will not cancel it after two weeks.

..savor these moments, me brothers, for we will not see the likes of these events again in our lifetime. We must be living through the equivalent of the "Collapse of the Soviet Union and the tearing down of the Berlin Wall" for the Democrats and the sh!thouse-rat-crazy liberal left here in America.

Let's see if Rubio can still get elected now that Jews know how they are viewed by Cuban-Americans…. just kidding.
lexhamfox on October 2, 2010 at 2:25 AM
Want some 'BIZARO WORLD'?
If you take a walk on over to huffpo comments AND democratic underground comments sections…you find TONS of people (debatable) saying that they think he's going to end up at…are you ready for this?…. FOX NEWS.
And..that they have always thought Sanchez 'was pretty conservative anyway'.
Is the left Crazy, or stupid?
(Answer: all of the above)
Handel on October 2, 2010 at 2:39 AM
Once again, my point is that liberals often hate each others' identity group… Mexi against Jew, Muslims vs Catholics etc. We should be able to easily wedge these groups apart and destroy the Democrat party.
leftnomore on October 2, 2010 at 5:05 AM
Handel on October 2, 2010 at 2:39 AM
Sanchez fancies himself as a conservative so it is not that outlandish. His references to elites and some imaginary strata of society which is in control and keeping the masses down is not that far off the populist rhetoric which is currently in vogue in some quarters.
lexhamfox on October 2, 2010 at 5:06 AM
Dirty Sanchez.
koolbrease on October 2, 2010 at 5:22 AM
I just listened to the whole audio recording. Sure, Sanchez made it clear that he has a big chip on his shoulder and that he is a bit thin-skinned. But, this was a pretty good give-and-take conversation with interviewer Dominick, and both Dominick and Sanchez acknowledged being convinced by something the other said during the conversation. Sanchez made the point that many of us make about lefties and their ilk. That is, like-minded people (e.g., members of the "governing class," which is defined however we want depending on the point we are making) tend to discount and demean the needs, arguments, and merits of everyone else. And while Sanchez is probably way off base calling Jon Stewart bigoted, I heard nothing wrong in the give-and-take about perceptions about the thinking of people in different ethnic groups. I'm a Jew, and I would love to take Sanchez on in a conversation about ethnicity at ease at any coffee shop. However,even though I disagreed with much of what Sanchez said, I Iwas not insulted by what Sanchez said,

hawkdriver on October 2, 2010 at 6:37 AM
redwhiteblue on October 1, 2010 at 11:38 PM
Much tongue and cheek here. I didn't get a chance to come back to the thread. I was actually hoping someone would have had a little more info on the piece he was doing about the shot border agent.
And I'm sort of floored by this notion that he was Conservative. I never heard a thing from him over at CNN that gave me the impression he even knew anyone who was Conservative.
hawkdriver on October 2, 2010 at 6:42 AM
Sanchez committed the most politically incorrect crime at a liberal institution. He questioned the victim status of Jews. The ultimate no-no. It really is the third rail. Saying anything about Christians will get your promoted. Saying anything about muslims will get you in hot water. Saying anything about Jews will get your fired.

Winner! Ha ha!
* * * * *
This event does, however, leave a significant void that must be filled — the title of the stupidest news-related personality on TV.
I would limit it to news-related individuals because of the abundance of people who manage to reveal their bona fides in that regard on a daily basis.
So, for example, I'd say that Sean Penn really doesn't count, even though he is a confirmed moron, and one who often feels compelled to prove it by commenting on public affairs issues.
However, Whoopi Goldberg does count (but just marginally) because it is her job to comment on the events of the day.
I sense there will be a rush of eager wanna-be idiots who will try to stake a claim to the title formerly held by Sanchez!
My initial thought would be that Mika Brzezinski will try to nominate herself . . . but there are so many truly deserving candidates!
Sanchez was a biased journalist who couldn't stay classy if his career depended on it. And now, he gets to find out what its like to be on the outside looking in, again.
I hope he saved up some coin. Those tax hikes next year are going to be a bear.
Here's a few songs for Rick Sanchez:
From Beck.
From 3 Doors Down
From The Beatles
mizflame98 on October 2, 2010 at 9:40 AM
But, but Rick was the model of level-headed commentary – he'd never disparage anyone *else* as a bigot, or a racist, or… I mean, he's a lib, he *can't* be any of those things, right?
Midas on October 2, 2010 at 10:15 AM
His mistake was attacking Jon Stewart for being Jewish. If he'd attacked Glenn Beck for being a "tea-bagger", he'd have been hailed as a hero by CNN for telling truth to power.

Come on man! Rick was an equal opportunity critic with a good instinct for BS. He was at least interesting. But even a Rush Limbaugh like commentarian on a biased network has to learn to keep his mouth off of the Boss's sacred cows, or he can start his own network like Rush did.
jimw on October 2, 2010 at 11:38 AM

Really? I'll keep that in mind next time I watch another MSM piece about the plight of the Palestinians at the hands of their Jewish oppressors.

GSD Course Bulletin - Spring 2013
This term's information was last refreshed on 12 MAY 2015 14:54:38.
Courses taught by Richard Peiser
05212: Field Studies in Real Estate, Planning & Urban Design: Hudson Railroad Yards, New York City (SES 0521200)
Urban Planning and Design
Seminar - 4 credits - Limited enrollment
3:00 - 6:00 202
Thursday 3:00 - 6:00 Gund 109
Richard Peiser, Eugene Kohn, Bing Wang
Course Description
The Field Study course is designed to provide students an understanding of the dynamics and complexities of reality that create contemporary urban physical environments. The course emphasizes the integration of design and development aspects of projects that respond to realistic market demand, political, financial and other regulatory constraints – how financial implications affect planning and design and vice versa. It is intended for real estate professionals, architects, urban/landscape designers and planners, to broaden their understanding of urban development issues and public-private development problems, as well as to improve the applicability of their skills in design and financial analysis in the context of urban developments.
This class will be taught jointly with the HBS field studies class. Students will work in teams with HBS, KSG, and HLS students.
Hudson Yards in NYC
The focus of this year's field study is the New York City's Hudson railroad yards in Manhattan. Sponsored by the Real Estate Academic Initiative, and working under the guidance of the professors, students will act as professional consultants to provide vision and solutions for redeveloping the railroad yards on the West Side, adjacent to Penn Station. Students will visit the site during the term to meet with stakeholders, consultants, planning officials, real estate professionals and others who can inform the students' conceptualization of the site. During the semester, investigations will include development feasibility studies (market, physical, environmental, and political), site planning, urban design, financing analysis, public/private joint-venture structures and other critical factors affecting the planning, design and development of the project. Students will work initially on master planning for the entire site. They will then select a focal area where they will produce plans, financial analyses, and implementation strategies for the initial phases of development, taking into account public space, affordable housing, retail, employment, and cultural space to create a vital urban destination within one of the most exciting new areas in NYC.
Location: GSD: Gund 109 and HBS: Hawes 202 on alternate class days starting January 31 at GSD
Meeting Time: Thursday 3:00-6:00
05232: North Hollywood Field Study: Suburban Transit-oriented Town Center Redevelopment (SES 0523200)
Urban Planning and Design
Seminar - 4 credits - Limited enrollment
Thursday 12:00 - 3:00 20 Sumner 1C
Richard Peiser
Course Description
North Hollywood's town center sits at the junction of the subway to downtown Los Angeles and the bus lines serving the San Fernando Valley. North Hollywood is expected to receive the greatest amount of growth over the next twenty years of any of the suburban nodes in the City of Los Angeles. This field study is devoted to creating a concept plan for the town center.

Greg Skaff
A Wichita native now based in New York, Greg Skaff is a talented guitarist and composer versatile enough to have played sessions with the likes of Bobby Watson, Ruth Brown, and Freddie Hubbard. But as a leader, he favors the classic trio format of guitar, B-3 organ, and drums, whipping up variations on a soul-jazz groove inspired by the late Stanley Turrentine, with whom Skaff had a lengthy stint early in his career. As such, there's a core element of blues and funk in Skaff's music, but he carries it far afield on the strength of virtuoso guitar work ranging from clear delineations of melodies, to bop-like rapid-fire forays skittering among billowy organ lines, and even to the brink of rock 'n' roll. The last crops up on a cover of Fiona Apple's "Fast As You Can" on Skaff's newest, East Harlem Skyline (Zoho), also featuring the other members of his working trio: drummer E.J. Strickland and organist George Colligan. Skaff's arrangement of the Apple tune actually roams to jazz-rock, swing, funk—even tango, with hints of lots of other stuff. Elsewhere Skaff evokes Wes Montgomery, Coltrane, and Brazilian guitar master Luiz Bonfa, while Colligen and Strickland help fire up a restless cohesion that bristles with tasty energy. 18+.

Feb 18 - A man died while diving at an isolated Central
Hawke's Bay beach last night.
The man, thought to be in his 30s, got into trouble between
Pourerere and Aramoana, about 40km southeast of Waipawa, and
was pulled from the water by his diving partner.
They drove some 4km along the beach to Pourerere Beach
Caravan Park and raised the alarm.
Ambulance central-east acting district operations manager
John Plastow said an ambulance had to park at the caravan
park and paramedics were driven to the scene in a 4WD.
Police, three fire crews, and a nurse living in the area also
made there way to the scene in the dark.
When paramedics arrived the man was not breathing and
attempts to resuscitate him failed.
It was thought he had drowned.
The death has been referred to the coroner.

Little Petra is named Al-Beidha in Arabic, meaning 'the white one'. It is an important archaeological site in Jordan . This site is only a few kilometers from Petra and it is literally hidden away in the center of a mountain.
It is thought to have been one of the commercial areas of Petra where caravans of traders would constantly arrive.
A street of dining halls. Most of the facades have been washed away by floods but the halls still remain.

I installed Ubuntu 12.04 but the system crashed and now will not boot from the hard drive, I can only start from the CD ROM. I already formatted and reinstalled Ubuntu, but when I start a message appears from the disk power management (often outside) then the screen goes black and nothing happens.
Is this computer of yours dual-booting with another operating system, like Windows 7? If so, you can restore your Windows 7 partition by reading a link in Microsoft Answers. Let me know if this is the case and I'll paste the link for you to follow.
I am not an expert. Look at this question and see if you did anything similar here and then ask your question again as was specified with more info:

DLC - See the Future - 560 MS Points - 250 Achievement Points
The Nutcracker
Score 25 groin shots, or see another Hero do so.
In order to perform a "groin shot," you will need to upgrade your Skill, Dexetrous Styles to Level 4 which awards you with the Sub Targeting skill.
Then, when you see your target, step back and press and hold Y to lock on, then press the Left Trigger to select the "groin area" (their nuts basically, thus the achievement name) and fire. Repeat 25 times and you'll be awarded this achievement.
*Note: This also works on female NPCs but... why would you do that?
The Paramour
Make love 25 times, or see another Hero do so.
Simply grab a woman (your wife, someone who looooooves you, NOT a prostitute) and use the Come Back to My Place expression on them. Once they are following, take them to a bed and select to have relations of the sexual kind. Unprotected/protected ... whatever floats your boat.
For the location of the Come Back to My Place expression, see the Expressionist achievement for the location of the "Come Hither Dear" book.
REMINDER - NOT a prostitute. It's "love", and not "sex".
The Concierge
Open all the Demon Doors in Albion, or see another Hero do so.
There are 9 Demon Doors dotted around Albion and they are basically stone doors with a personality that will require you to do a certain task for it before it opens and gives you its reward.
The locations of all 9 demon doors and what they contain can be found here:
The Visionary
Take a look into the future, or see another Hero do so.
This is a See The Future story-related achievement and is unmissable.
The Con Artist -
Find all 10 of Murgo's statuettes, or see another Hero do so.
1. Murgo "Pay Me" Model - You get it from Murgo when you speak for the first time.
2. Murgo "Chicken" Model - Inside the snow globe, down the well in an alcove to the left in the first semi large opening. Dog should bark & detect it.
3. Murgo "Dancing" Model - On the beach in the snow globe when you are saving the children. Tucked away to the left near a statue overlooking the sea.
4. Murgo "Begging" Model - After saving the children and getting the red seal in the snow globe. After the second set of stairs where the corridor goes left. Turn around and smash the wall behind you.
5. Murgo "Dismissive" Model - In the snow globe, once you free the school teacher by saving the children, take the low path back, you'll cross a bridge, dive off the side and underneath is a dive spot.
6. Murgo "Sycophantic" Model - As soon as you use the cursed skull and enter the new world, the model is on the left, you can see its glow.
7. Murgo "Slanderous" Model - After you use the Hollow Man Outfit in the cursed skull and chop down the bush, before you head across the shallow water, chop the bush on the right and follow it down to get the model.
8. Murgo "Tickled Pink" Model - As soon as you get out in to the open shallow water, hug the left wall and follow it, remove bushes and pick up the model.
9. Murgo "Optimistic" Model - When you pick up the Hobbe costume in the cursed skull, turn around and jump to the left (dye right, model left). Make sure you jump on the rock ledge and not down to the bottom.
10. Murgo "Mad Trader" Model - After using the Hobbe suit to do the puzzle round the lake you can't cross. The statue is the otherside ... blow up the crates and pick it up. Pretty much behind the mill.
The Howler
Scare five people while dressed as a balverine, or see another Hero do so.
Simply dress up as a Balverine and gather a crowd of 5 or more people (Bowerstone Market is a good place). This can be tricky if you try to hard and use the expressions. Simply use a spell and this will pop straight away. Try the fire, worked first time here.
The Balverine outfit will be picked up whilst doing the second Murgo quest in the cursed skull.
The Ghastly Jester
Make five people laugh while dressed as a hobbe, or see another Hero do so.
Simply dress up as a Hobbe and gather a crowd of 5 or more people (Bowerstone Market is a good place) and then pull an extended sock puppet expression (fun part of the expression wheel) and hit it on green. Other expressions will work, but this is a dead cert.
The Hobbe outfit will be picked up whilst doing the second Murgo quest in the cursed skull.
The Repugnant
Disgust five people while dressed as a hollow man, or see another Hero do so.
Simply dress up as a Hollow Man and gather a crowd of 5 or more people (Bowerstone Market is a good place) and then pull an extended middle finger (rude part of the expression wheel) and hit it on green. Other expressions will work, but this is a dead cert.
The Hollow Man outfit will be picked up whilst doing the second Murgo quest in the cursed skull.
The Gladiator
Score a total high score of 20,000 points or more in the Colosseum, or see another Hero do so.
This achievement sounds a little harder than it actually is. Remember, Flit Switches multiply your score, and chickens give you a score bonus. You don't lose points for dying but the precious seconds it takes to recover from being knocked down could cost you a thousand points easily.
It shouldn't take more than a a couple tries to get this.
The Multiplicator
Achieve a multiplier of 10 or more in the Colosseum, or see another Hero do so.
The multiplier in the Colosseum relies entirely on Flit Switches. As soon as you hear the announcer declare the presence of a flit switch, drop whatever you're doing and find the switch. You need to hit ten of these during the course of one game. Also remember that being knocked down removes a point from your multiplier.
The Combatant
Defeat the necromancer in the Colosseum, or see another Hero do so.
The easiest way to do this is to use a Time Control spell in slot 2, and a shock or fire spell in slots 4 and 5. Use time control to slow the clock, then kill many enemies at once with the shock and fire spells.
After defeating Beatles, Bandits, Hobbes, Balverines, Highwaymen, a Banshee, and some Hollow Men, the Necromancer should spawn. The achievement should unlock as soon as he dies.
The Fowl Player
Dress as a chicken and kick five chickens during the Colosseum battles, or see another Hero do so.
Dress as chicken by playing the puppet show game on Xbox.com and choosing the middle crown at the end of the game.. Once you've successfully become live poultry, enter the Colosseum and proceed to, well, kick chickens. Every time one spawns. Kick five of your own kind and the achievement is yours. You big meanie!
Have you noticed any change in Bart
New glasses?
Noooo... He looks like something maybe disturbing him
Probably misses his old glasses
We could get more involved in Bart's activities, but then I'd be afraid of smothering him
Yeah, and then we'd get the chair.
That's not what I meant!
It was Marge, admit it.

Ctrl is an NBC webseries starring Tony Hale (Arrested Development's Buster, Chuck's Emmett Milbarge) as an office drone who suddenly finds that, thus far, CTRL-Z lets him undo recent events in his own life, and CTRL-B emboldens him to stand up to his boss and confess his love to the source of his crush. It was based on a short film, Ctrl-Z, starring Hale's Chuck co-star Zachary Levi as the boss. Not exactly a new concept, but nonetheless well-executed by a fairly good comic team ... [more inside]
Chuck Norris: Meme-Killer!
Chuck Norris: meme-killer! Chuck Norris can kill a meme so effectively that the effect actually reaches back to the beginning of time and makes the meme retroactively uncool.

text: When the actor stopped by the Morningside Heights deli on Friday to buy some yogurt, an employee accused him of stealing and publicly frisked him. Whitaker was justifiably upset after the patdown; frisking people without evidence is a rights violation. But he responded like a gentleman: "Forest did not call the authorities at the request of the worker who was in fear of losing his employment," his rep told TMZ. "Forest asked that, in the future, the store change their behavior and treat the public in a fair and just manner." Milano's rep has now responded, saying that a "misguided" employee is to blame, and that the management doesn't believe race was a factor. Plus: Milano is retraining its employees and offering to make a donation to the charity of Whitaker's choice. [TMZ]

- priority: 5 --> 3
The tools Union-lines, Union 2 polygons, and Larry's cut polygons could have an icon and stay on the Editing toolbox instead on the Tools menu.
Those tools have been improved and made available in the layer view mouse menu.
Having them in the editing toolbox (or in a second editing toolbox dedicated to topology operations) could still be an improvement but I think it now has a lower priority.
Those tools have changed their names and they are no more in the mouse menu. If I interpret right:
Union-lines -> Tools - Edit Geometry - Blend lines
Union 2 polygons -> Tools - Edit Geometry - Merge Two Polygons
Larry's cut polygons -> Tools - Edit Geometry - Split Polygon
These are all nice tools which can be needed frequently for editing. However, I would not put them into the editing tools toolbox. I have too reasons. First one is that the toolbox is already rather crowded and all users will never need these three tools even they are very handy. Another reason is that these three are a bit different that those in the toolbox. The tools in the toolbox behave so that user selects the tools and does something on the map with the tool. The three tools in this request are used to fire some process that is performed for preselected features. Therefore they can be used very well through the EZ Buttons interface either through the mouse menu or even more easily with the function key shortcuts.
I close the feature request as closed-implemented. Peppe can re-open it if necessary.

How to Get Ready Before School P.E. (Girls)
Three Methods:The Night BeforeMorningAfter Gym ClassCommunity Q&A
Before school, early morning, early bird... Whatever you call it, after early Physical Education Class in the gym you have to get ready for the rest of the school day. Here's how!
Method 1
The Night Before
1Take a shower. You have to get up early, so do it now. Use a nice-smelling body wash, shampoo, and conditioner. Shave, wax, or bleach your legs. When done, either blow-dry your hair now or let it air-dry overnight.
2Lay out your gym clothes. Most schools won't allow tank tops, so go with a t-shirt and shorts/pants. Check the weather to make sure you won't get cold or hot.
3Pick out your regular clothes. Fold them neatly and put them in your gym bag with all the things on the "Things You'll Need" list.
4Set your alarm for about an hour and a half before you need to leave the house. You may add or subtract time if needed.
5Get to bed at a decent hour. You don't want to be completely exhausted when you wake up.
Method 2
1Wake up and stretch when your alarm goes off. Resist the temptation to hit snooze and roll over.
2Put on your gym clothes. Be sure to apply plenty of deodorant.
3Wash your face and apply moisturizer and spot treatment if needed. Make make-up light, in case you sweat. Just use a little mascara and lip balm. If you absolutely need it you can use concealer.
4Fix your hair in a ponytail. Straighten it if you want to.
5Make sure you have everything, including your gym bag, purse, book bag, lunch, and any schoolwork you need.
6Eat a good breakfast. You don't want to be hungry until lunch.
7Brush your teeth. Have a mint if you want.
8Make sure to leave your house with plenty of time.
Method 3
After Gym Class
1Head into the locker room and grab your gym bag. Take out your regular clothes.
2Quickly change into them and pull out the rest of your stuff.
3Take your hair out of your ponytail and brush it out. If you have a "ponytail bump", you can straighten it. If not, you're fine.
4Fix your hair the way you want. Some styles could include a messy bun, a half-ponytail, partly pinned back, or down. (see related)
5Reapply deodorant and spray yourself lightly with body spray. You don't want to overdo it.
6Put band-aids on any new blisters or scratches.
7Wipe off any sweat on your face with a towel.
8Apply any makeup you want. You can now use eyeliner, eyeshadow, and blush. You might want to reapply concealer.
9Pack your things back up and head out!

I haven't had much blog time available since last Thursday because of job-related travel and activities, so I've fallen behind in posting about new songs and videos that I think you might enjoy. To catch up, I'm including a giant fuckload of them in this two-part post. And in a rare display of brevity, I'm letting the music speak for itself.
I've also salted this post with a smattering of older music that I discovered only recently. Part 1 of this large collection can be found here. Beginning with that post and continuing through this one, the music is presented in alphabetical order by band name.
New video: "Eye of the Storm"
Album: Exit Wounds
Label: Century Media
Band location: Sweden
Here are a trio of discoveries I made last night and early this morning that I believe will be worth your time.
The next album by Britain's Winterfylleth, The Divination of Antiquity, will be coming our way via Candlelight on October 7 (October 6 in the UK). I've been very eager to hear the new music. The first single from the album, "Whisper of the Elements", was released on August 5, and this morning a lyric video for the song got its premiere.
The music is beautiful, intensely melodic and atmospheric, more so than anything the band have done before, and the nature-cenric lyrics well suit the dramatic emotional power of the sounds. Listen next…
I haven't managed to compile a round-up of noteworthy new things in a few days, so this one is largish, though still not large enough. I'll try to keep my own verbiage to a minimum so you don't lose interest and drift away like hyperactive children, or like me when I hear a firetruck going by. I'll begin with a trio of news items and then move into the music.
Yesterday came an announcement that Machine Head, Children of Bodom, Epica, and Battlecross will tour North America together beginning on October 4 in Denver and ending on November 1 in Hollywood. Tickets go on sale this Friday at 10 a.m. Eastern. Machine Head's new album on Nuclear Blast should be out around the time of this tour. I can't honestly say that I'm very lathered up about this tour, but if you are, please send photos of yourself. Here are the dates (continued after the jump):
10/04/2014 The Summit Music Hall – Denver, CO
10/05/2014 Aftershock – Merriam, KS
10/06/2014 House Of Blues – Dallas, TX
10/07/2014 House Of Blues – Houston, TX
10/09/2014 Hard Rock Live – Orlando, FL
10/10/2014 The Masquerade – Atlanta, GA
(Our roving reporter Andy Synn was fortunate enough to take in the 2013 edition of the Summer Breeze open air festival in Germany last month and has prepared a multi-part review accompanied by videos that he shot during the festival. Today we bring you Part 1 of his write-up.)
Apologies to anyone who might have been waiting for my SB review this year. The trip to Seattle took up 99% of my time since, so I didn't really have much chance to write things up before now!
Let me tell you though, leaving your house at 1am and driving to Dinkelsbuhl (where the festival is located), arriving at around half 7 in the evening, is a LONG drive. I did the first stretch in one relatively unbroken 10 hour stint, but after that it was a case of frequent stops to rest every time I started feeling my eyes getting heavy. Urgh.
As it was, though, I made it to the festival in time to see Vader… well, some of Vader. Because one minor issue with having the opening night festivities situated in the 3rd stage tent is that you end up trying to pack an entire festival's worth of people into a venue that, while large in itself, was definitely not designed for that purpose! Thus my Vader viewing experience became a curious mix of long-range appreciation and video-screen voyeurism.
OUR LIST OF 2012's MOST INFECTIOUS EXTREME METAL SONGS: PART 16
Welcome to Part 16 of our list of the year's most infectious extreme metal songs. In each installment, I've been posting at least two songs that made the cut. For more details about what this list is all about and how it was compiled, read the introductory post via this link. To see the selections that preceded the four I'm announcing today, click here.
Yes, today I'm adding four songs to the list instead of two or three. These four songs have a few things in common (apart from the fact that I'm hooked on them), which is why I'm grouping them together here: All four are forms of black metal; all four are somewhat more challenging listens than the majority of the songs on the list; and all four deliver memorable melodies in songs of often searing power.
I wrote this in my review of this Ukrainian band's 2012 album: "Wisdom of Centuries tests the limits of genre classification. It combines elements of black metal, progressive metal, ambient music, doom, and to a lesser degree folk metal, producing something that is bleak, beautiful, and often mystical. Distancing themselves from the black metal label, Khors characterize the music as 'heathen dark metal'. Perhaps that's as good a shorthand description as any . . . ."
Early this morning, October 29, 2012, the moon was full. In certain older civilizations in the Northern Hemisphere, this full moon in what we know as October was a celebrated event. In olde England, it marked the beginning of winter and was known in the Anglo-Saxon tongue as "winterfylleth" — winter full moon (and yes, now you know where that wonderful English black metal band got their name).
Native American tribes in what is now the northern and eastern United States called it the Full Hunter's Moon. It was a time when the leaves were falling from the trees and the deer were fattened for the winter — a good, well-lit time to hunt and store up meat for the bleak months ahead.
It has also been known as the Blood Moon, which of course makes it metal. This year it may really be a blood moon in the eastern U.S. With the moon in its full phase, high tides on Earth will rise about 20 percent higher than normal, and NASA experts say this will significantly amplify the storm surge that Hurricane Sandy will bring to the eastern part of the country, exacerbating what are already expected to be life-threatening floods that this super-storm will inflict on our shores.
To our brothers and sisters in metal who live in the vast swath of territory likely to be impacted by Sandy, and who probably can't read this because their power is already out, be careful and stay safe. Looks like today will be ugly.
So, not so much in celebration of the Blood Moon as in commemoration of it and in respect for the power of nature, I've rounded up new music and a video, from these bands: Occultation, Guttural Secrete, and Chrome Division. Of course, there's some Winterfylleth at the end, too.
Put this album on your radar screen: The Giants of Auld by Cnoc An Tursa.
As announced today, this Scottish band from Falkirk are the latest signing by Candlelight Records. Their debut album was recorded at Foel Studios in Wales by noted producer Chris Fielding, who has also produced albums by Winterfylleth and Primordial, among many others.
After doing a bit of reading about the band and listening to all of their music I could find this morning, Winterfylleth and Primordial were the two bands I thought of even before learning about Chris Fielding's participation in the Cnoc An Tursa recording. Both of those bands have drawn on the heritage of their respective nations (England and Ireland) in crafting music that draws on both black metal and folk traditions. Cnoc An Tursa seem to be following a similar path with respect to their native Scotland, though their music differs from those other two collectives.
Cnoc An Tursa have wrapped their music around old Scottish poetry. One song I found, for example, bears the title "Winter, A Dirge", which also happens to be the name of a poem by Robert Burns. A second song is named "Bannockburn", which is the title of yet another Burns poem, in addition to being the site of one of the decisive battles in the first war of Scottish independence from England in 1314. A third, "Hail Land of My Fathers", is the name of a poem written in the 1800's by John Stuart Blackie. And a fourth, "Ettrick Forest In November", was the name of a poem by Sir Walter Scott.
From what I can hear in the YouTube clips I found, the songs do appear to take the poems' verses for their lyrics.
Here are a randomly noticed assortment of art, news, new music, and a video I saw and heard yesterday that I thought were well worth sharing.
Vastum are a Bay Area band who began under the name Corpus as a side project of vocalist Dan Butler and guitarist Kyle House from the amazing Acephalix, whose titanic 2012 album Deathless Master I reviewed here. They were eventually joined by guitarist Leila Abdul-Rauf (Hammers of Misfortune, ex-Saros), bass-player Luca Indrio from Acephalix, and drummer Adam Perry. Their five-song debut, Carnal Law, which was originally released as a demo, made quite the splash in 2011, delivering a filthy, crusty, punk-influenced take on death metal.
Yesterday I happened to see the artwork at the top of this post. It's one of the latest creations by the uber-talented Paolo Girardi, whose work I follow closely (and have featured at NCS many times before). When he posted it on his Facebook page, it came with this notation: "VASTUM – PATRICIDAL LUST (2012)".
I've seen no other news that Vastum are planning on a new release this year, but that's sure what Paolo Girardi's artwork and explanatory note suggest. I really hope that's what it means. If you're unfamiliar with Vastum, Carnal Law can be streamed and purchased at Bandcamp (here), and you might want to give it a listen after the jump.
This is a collection of nuggets that I sifted from the ever-flowing stream of the internet yesterday. I'm going to start with some head-smashing new music and end with some head-warping music. With any luck, by the time we're finished, you'll have lost your head altogether.
I like this band's name. Any band with "smasher" in their name is already past second base and headed for third. "Hivesmasher" also reminds me of the time when my brother and I thought it would be a good idea to smash a hive of wasps after we thought they were all dead, because we had burned their nest first. We were young and stupid, and very soon we were also in agony.
Hivesmasher, the band, is also about as pissed off and poisonous as that nest of undead wasps. They're from Massachusetts and they have a debut album named Gutter Choir that's due on October 23 on the Black Market Activities label. Yesterday I heard two tracks from the album. Lambgoat premiered one of them — "En Route To Meat Land" — which I think is what those wasps were singing when they delivered some hellfire retribution to my brother and me.
It reminds me of Pig Destroyer. It's berserk, but really skillfully played. You should definitely go HERE to check it out.
(Our NCS comrade Andy Synn has recently been making me green with envy by attending summer metal festivals on the other side of the Atlantic, which for me might as well be on the other side of the solar system. However, gentleman and scholar that he is, he didn't just go and have a ridiculously good time. He also sent back this review of his jaunt to the UK's BLOODSTOCK festival on August 10-12, 2012. We're dividing it into two parts, with Part 2 coming up tomorrow [now posted here].)
Ah, Bloodstock. Always an interesting festival, caught between its early power/trad-metal roots and its steady expansion into a more rounded, extreme/non-mainstream metal festival. This year's line-up was pretty enticing, but circumstances and finances looked set to prevent my attendance. But fate and serendipity stepped in (thank you Sahil!) and on Friday 10th of August I found myself once more pulling into the festival's parking lot, with a song in my heart and a shiny guest wristband on my arm.
Carefully timing my arrival to coincide with that of Moonsorrow, I wasn't disappointed, the band utterly on fire, despite the occasionally washed out sound. It helps that the set-list comprised some of my favourite Moonsorrow tracks, I'll admit that, but the performance itself was brilliant either way. The only downside is that, due to the length of their material, it always seems like too few songs
Sepultura put on a damn good show, their new drummer certainly doing his best to live up to Igor Cavalera's enviable legacy, while the triptych of Derrick, Paulo, and Andreas showed again and again why they stuck with the name – they just do it all better. The new material sounded great live, while the quartet give the old stuff, including a brace of Beneath The Remains-era material, new life and vigour. Props as well for the welcome, but unexpected, guest slot from Tim "Ripper" Owens on "Territory".
Dio Disciples were, in many ways, something of a curiosity for the festival. Essentially Dio's band with a different singer (and a few guests), it's hard to judge them on merit alone, as their appearance was due to far more than just an ability to play the songs well. This was a tribute to one of the genre's legendary figures, and while it would be churlish to say it was simply a well-received cover set (the downright dedication to this band's slot bordered on the fanatical), one can't help but be moved by this show of respect, and by being reminded of the sheer quality of the material on display.
