This is totally going to fuck my commute. Like Bush hasn't fucked me over enough already goddammit. Heh.
That's great. Because the messages on those signs and shirts are really going to go a long way toward moving middle America back to the left. Good thinking folks...way to make the right look legit and the left look looney.
I have to agree, most of those protesters aren't going to convince anyone of anything. I don't think people have to wear suits and not carry signs, but this is not helpful.
Suits would help. At least they would look like they should be taken seriously.
And come on. Fuck Bush? Can we maybe protest without the vulgarity? Again, this does not help our cause. It provides more footage for the media to broadcast showing just how silly the liberals are.
@3 Well the republicans did take half of your non-prescription. why wear suits to a protest? to show you have money? that you are on a lunch break from your job?
A protester who has a serious point to make should wear suits to look responsible and knowledgeable. Yes, appearance matters at least as much as substance.
It is immature to debate using obscenities and vulgar language. No reasonable person will take your speech seriously. Moreover, you are offending the very people you seek to persuade. Those protesters are doing nothing but a disservice to their cause, not only now but in the future.
Hey kids, it's time to grow up and act like adults. The college and high school "student government" debates are over. You are not smart or clever, you are an embarrassment.
george bush is a bad human. the fact that he is still president of this country is a sin.
that said, signs with slogans like "shave ur bush pussy" and "bush can suck my cock" are ill-conceived, counterproductive, and childish.
grow the fuck up, protesters. no one takes you seriously when you use lowest common denominator tactics to get your message across.
Suits are unnecessary--it says a lot about the pathetic, WASP-wannabe nature of Eastside Republicans that they wear suits to protests.
Of course, the Democrats (if they're not the bat-shit crazy socialists that often turn up to these things) are simply stupid. "Bush Can Suck My Cock" doesn't really speak to the culturally conservative, ever-so-slightly-left-of-center electorate in the 8th district (insert "Duh!" here).
Just got back from checking it out. It's growing. A lot. Every 2 minutes another crowd appears with tons of those childish signs that Ms. Harrop acknowledged.
What a joke. Are you fucking serious? You need to wear a suit to protest? Have you ever seen what a successful protest looks like? It takes ALL KINDS in great numbers with conviction to make a statement, not prissy wishy-washy armchair activists shitting on anyone who actually gets out there and tries to make a difference.
You want to know what successful protesting looks like? Look at France. The government there is held accountable by its people who WILL protest if their needs are not met... and they don't wear suits.
agreed. a well-organized protest as a part of a larger plan should stick to a few key phrases to be used on signs. this, coupled with reasonable looking protesters, gets the message out.
Nobody's opinion is ever swayed one way or the other by a public protest, so why shouldn't people just say whatever the Hell they feel like saying?
I mean, it's not like they're standing on the floor of the Senate while telling someone to "go fuck yourself"...
Why wear suits? Because that's the costume of the Serious Person in modern society. Business leaders, politicians, journalists on TV -- they all wear suits. Anyone who wants to be taken seriously and expects to be taken seriously wears a suit.
Check out Stewart and Colbert. What do they wear on TV? They wear suits. Why? Because people who wear suits get taken seriously.
It's not about money or social station. It's about being taken seriously.
Look at pictures of the Civil Rights marches of the 1960s. What were those people wearing? Suits. With ties. And why did they do that? Because theirs was (and still is) a serious cause. Look at Al Sharpton. What does he wear on TV or anywhere else? A suit. What does anyone who wants to be taken seriously by the public and demonstrate that they are serious about what they are doing wear? A suit.
You might get the hose or a beat-down, so no need drop big dollars on a new suit that would be ruined. Go to Value Village or Goodwill or any second-hand clothing store and pick out a suit. It should be dark in color: grey, black, blue or brown -- doesn't matter as long as it's dark. Why? Because dark colors imply gravitas and seriousness. While you're there, pick up a white shirt and a serious tie, too.
As you can tell from the upstanding icons of humanity from Reichert's supporters in these latter pics, remember Dems, wear suits like they do when you protest. You want to blend in, like you're on the Rush Limbaugh show if politicians are going to listen to you. They would definitely not ignore you. Of course not. Right.
Yeah, maybe the liberals should present a more classy statement like Ted Nugent so they don't get portrayed as wacky in the media. Or we could stop caving in to the false meme that being a white male in a suit makes you worth listening to.
Conspiracy is hot!
I'm sure there are less sensationalistic signs out there, but The Stranger (like almost all media) have chosen to publish the most outlandish. Am I right, Eli?
I am going to go back down there in about an hour. There are some super studs missing some serious left-hand rings.
Why haven't any of the Reichert supporters enlisted?
Yup. Cowards.
There's no puppets in the pictures Eli. Come on now, I want some pictures of puppets. I want to stop by on my way home from work, but I'm not wearing a suit ... guess I'll have to stop by Nordstrom first.
Reality Check:
First, most voters tend to give more credence to those who present themselves in a proper manner. The reality is that wearing suits moves the focus away from the individual and towards the message. Whether it is right or wrong is irrelevant. The time for debating the "false meme" of suits is in your college philosophy class.
Second, no one said you have to protest in a suit. What was said is that it would help one to better present their message. Dress up if you want, just realize that you are detracting from your message. The media will show your crazy costume and forget to state your message. Remember, the middle class 8th district voter only sees a crazy protester, they will not hear your message.
@ the suit-wearing crowd: this president and his ilk aren't going to take anyone that doesn't agree with them seriously anyway, so why bother with a fucking suit? The only defense in the face of being ignored is to be vulgar. To wit, fuck you Mr. President. There, I said it and I feel better.
Protests matter, why would the RNC spend so much time trying to contain and avoid them if they didn't. People who care what a protester is wearing are probably against any protest. On the other hand, if we're talking anti-war protest, I somehow think that people who look like they might have supported it at first or veterans are probably the most persuasive. If it appears that middle America, and not just the left-wing fringe, is in the street protesting, that's pretty hard to ignore (read Vietnam). I don't think that means being white or wearing a suit, but refraining from vulgarity on your protest sign would be better. I'm disgusted too, but 'Impeach Bush' seems like enough for a sign. We don't need to F#$# him or shave him, just need to force him out of office and change course from totalitarianism to democracy.
I do like 'King George, the Turd' for a sign though. Maybe I'll put it on a shirt.
good points. you should ask what is your goal? to annoy bush? dress how you want. to win support for your cause? dress in a convincing way. or don't -- but then you might not achieve your goal.
as for me? i like the "bush out of bellevue" protestor.
Show me some actual research that actually says that it actually makes a noticeable difference if a crowd of protestors is wearing suits, and I'd be convinced. Sure, in a business context, if you are a sales rep or a lawyer for example, a suit gets you taken more seriously. But this isn't business, it's social activism.
But changing the world? I can think of half a dozen people off the top of my head who made big differences in the world who did not wear suits, and you bet they were taken seriously. No, I'm not going to list them - use your own brain cells and do your own homework.
Secondly, profanity communicates extreme anger and it gets attention (otherwise you wouldn't be seeing the photos). You really think it doesn't work? Show me some hard data - exactly how and where this tactic backfires. Do you seriously think that policy decisions are made based on whether some idiot on the street dropped the f-bomb? Otherwise you are making baseless assertions again (aka "making shit up").
Would it help if the puppets wore suits?
@21 - It's nice to know that "Whether it is right or wrong is irrelevant" you condescending ass. Why don't you go get a job with the DLC, help Al Gore with his makeup and earth tones, tell Howard Dean to stop screaming, and lose a few more elections. The right is thrilled that people think politics is boring and stuffy and only for the elite. It's what helps them to hold onto power. Sure, it's great that Kos can go on Meet the Press in a suit and sound calm and thoughtful, but it's also nice that we have people to counteract Ted Nugent. Sorry to offend your very mature sensibilities, but there are a lot of Americans who like the idea of a rebel who stands in front of the powerful with middle finger raised and says "Fuck You!"
DOT website traffic cams show overpasses & entrances are blocked off by WSP. A friend saw the motorcade on NE 8th & 405 - it's updated now.
So Bush is likely in Bellevue now.
Squeedle, the people you're trying to convince are not Bush and his buddies in the limos -- it's the folks at home watching on TV. I don't think you need to be wearing suits necessarily, but it wouldn't hurt. What DOES hurt is the black facemask, and the upside-down flag, and the "SHAVE YOUR BUSH PUSSY" sign and the "SUCK MY COCK" sign. Those are costing Darcy Burner thousands of votes, right there. Darcy is seriously going to have people saying "she was waving the flag upside down on TV last night, I saw her".
Good protests are made by people who look as if they are headed back to a job afterwards.
If you want examples, I'm going to ask you for examples of protests that accomplished ANYTHING good. I seem to remember some, a long, long time ago, in the south, when a bunch of black men IN SUITS marched with dignity. I also remember some stupid hippies running amok in Chicago in '68, who handed the election to Richard Nixon, and several years of non-stop dipshittery after that that handed Nixon ANOTHER election. And so on.
We all know how effective the riots in Seattle were in shutting down the WTO for good and electing Nader in 2000, right?
Honestly, that blonde in the "FUCK BUSH" shirt? She looks like a Republican to me. Agent provocateurs? I wouldn't be surprised. Liberals will unfortunately too often embrace any kind of idiocy if they think it agrees with them.
I like the "Alberto Out" guy though, and the white girl with the "Reichert Out" sign isn't embarrassing.
Ma stockings! Lip them!
Holy crap, Fnarf's making sense. In light of the Larry Craig story that Dan's posted, I'm not sure if that kid with the Conspiracy shirt is an RNC agent or just hoping to make $25. Then again, it could be both - Karl Rove isn't that far ought of the White House.
Interesting posts, @29 and @31.
Maybe that's what Rove's plan is.
@31 - The mirror sunglasses, the Marine haircut ... Conspiracy is RNC all the way. Even his t-shirt is a Rovian twist of reverse-psychology.
Well, I'm happy to say that I did NOT see the more offensive signs between 2:00-3:00 p.m. today and that the crowd was acting responsibly.
Liberals are a bunch of self-important wanks who in their fantasy world believe this protest actually accomplished something.
Bush didn't notice your protest and even on the off chance he caught a glance of it, he didn't care.
You're a self-important wank and I didn't notice what a loser you are McLovin.
Okay, to all you suit-infested whores out there who can't see beyond your white bred patriarchal asses I will give you one word to sum up someone protesting WITHOUT a suit. Okay, are you ready boys and girls? Do you think your little pea brains can handle it? GANDHI! I seem to remember that he *might* have accomplished *a tiny bit* in his three piece SUIT!! No wait! What? You tell me he WASN'T wearing a suit? Well, then he surely couldn't have accomplished anything, because you KNOW that clothes make the man, right? Okay, I won't prolong your loserness much longer, but really people try thinking OUTSIDE the box someday! So LAME!!! And, if you really feel like you need to protest while in a suit, why don't you get off the computer and get into the streets yourself. Yah, again, you are soooo lame!
Suits? Um, I think not.
Protesters need to look sexy, that's all. If you look like someone middle America would feel privileged to fuck, I guarantee they'll get behind you, so to speak.
Where are you, hot liberal women? Your country needs you!
FUCKING AWESOME. That's my friend with the upside down flag!
This is all so hillarious. wearing suits is a dumb idea, but dressing up as non-comformist freaks is even dumber. The only way you'll make your message mean anything is to allow normal people to relate to you. You think people in Bellevue can relate to demonstrators wearing masks, carrying coffins and playing drums? How about the "organizer" guy I met flipping people of left and right? It's so funny to hear you people talk about others as sheep when half of the people down there wouldn't be able to say the alphabet without stuttering at least a couple of the letters. Oh, and one last piece of advice, stay off the drugs while you're protesting. Or at least don't talk like you just walked off the set of "How High".
A bunch of really hateful people out there. Kind of sad actually that these are the same people who are supposed to be open-minded and care about others. Gives the dems a bad image. Mark this too - the extremity and outrageousness of this faction of the liberal movement will ultimately be its downfall, just like it was in the 60's.
I can't believe this is still going.
I've read through all the comments and I'm taken aback by two things: first the advocation that the liberal movement of the 60s was somehow unsuccessful. What the fuck? The amount of social change and advancement that took place in and because of that decade is so great that historians and sociologists are still trying to sort it all out. The entire Right Wing Evangelical Movement was started and is maintained specifically to counter those advancements. So I call bullshit on the 60s liberal movement being a failure.
Next, I'm taken aback by the number of well-meaning folks on here rebelling against the idea of dressing up nicely for a protest. It's such a simple thing. How do you dress for a job interview? You dress as you would on your dressiest day at work at that job. If you were to appear on television to speak about something very important to you, how would you dress? If you were invited to meet the governor to discuss an important topic, how would you dress?
If your answer to these questions is, "Whatever the fuck I feel like!" Then think about how the people who listen to you speak are going to recieve what you have to say. By your appearance you're making the statement, "Fuck you. I do what I want." That does not sway people to your side of an issue. It actively works against the message you're trying to convey.
And Ghandi? He wore traditional clothing. Traditional garb for his country so that the people of that country would relate to him and take him seriously. So yes, Ghandi wore a damn suit, too.
If you want to be taken seriously, wear a suit.
The question is not what's wrong with the protests, the question is where were YOU that day?
It doesnt make any sense that the people who are most critical are the ones who are complicit with Bush and his War Crimes.
Our government is openly torturing people, defying international law and the top story is on profanity?
I don't care about what they look like, at least they're out there protesting, not typing comments on a blog while the world burns.
I don't care about what they look like, at least they're out there protesting, not typing comments on a blog while the world burns.
Signs like "Bush can suck my dick" or "Shave your Bush pussy" are not obscene. What is obscene is a government that kills civilians, illegally wiretaps citizens, openly tortures, and the list goes on and on. It is also obscene to be complacent with such.
Tom, sorry you didn't like our coffin. It is carried with great dignity by veterans and friends of veterans as a reminder that there are people dying in this war. The administration won't allow us to see the REAL coffins coming home so we've been taking it around for awhile now. The folks who built it have even taken it to Washington DC to the capitol building. If you are offended by the sight of it, maybe you need to do more to stop the war! Criticizing people who don't wear suits and ties is just absurd. Not everyone has a job where that is appropriate attire. Have you ever worked on a farm or orchard or most any place but some fancy highrise office building? I bet not...
Did you even read my post? Did I mention how I was personally offended? Lol. This is a very good example of what I was trying to get across - you people just don't get it. You put on these huge productions with props and instruments and costumes and in reality it's not for a cause or a political belief; it's all only about you. And then you wonder why people don't take action? That wasn't a demonstration, it was a show!
You're not going to get the average American to do anything with or for you becausee they don't associate with you. "Shave your Bush pussy"? What in the hell does that even mean? And why face masks? Can anyone here tell me what other recognizable modern group trollops around with masks on? Uhhhh...terrorists maybe? Wake up people - acting and dressing and screaming like that only makes people view you all as extremists - i.e "out there and unlike me." I can't believe you don't understand that.
Oh, and how in the world do you suppose to know anything about me? Something is wrong with people who work in highrises and wear suits (both of which I do not do by the way)? Wow - great message. "If you're not just like me you're not as good as I am." Get real. I pity how angry and small and dark your world is.
Your name makes me laugh too - very ironic. : )
The face masks were to hide our faces from the police cameras.
I gotta ask though Tom, how often do you wear a suit? When I think of people wearing suits I think of people I can't relate to at all. Either wage slaves, corporate big shots, or politicians. How many people can relate to those? not many. And then if you wear something like that, how to you relate to the 'extremists' who are not present?
Right, I'm done generalizing people, you can continue if you want.
Once again, read my original post. I said suits are a dumb idea. I don't wear suits except to weddings. You can read, right? ; )
Hiding from the police cameras? Please tell me that's a joke. Do you really think you're so important that "the man" watches what you do? Like someone actually cares what some Seattle kids are doing and saying at a protest in downtown Bellevue? I have some tough news for you: you're not that important. I realize it sucks, but grow up and join the rest of us that already know it. Sorry. If you want people to watch you do something that deserves it - don't yell at others from behind a mask and costume.
"Wage slaves"? What exactly is that? A person who works for a living? And somehow that is a negative thing to you? How is a person who holds a voluntary job and gets paid for it a slave? What do you do for a living? Apparently you're not a slave but others are? I don't get it.
The hate and spite in you is out of control. You're so focused on yourself that you don't see anything wrong with tearing down everyone else around you. Take a good hard look in the mirror my friend.

Miller's Bar and Grille used to be called Miller's Steak and Crab House. Owner Paul Miller said he changed the name because he thought it sounded too fancy and might be deterring customers from coming by for lunch or a simple meal. ¶ The West Seneca roadhouse still serves steak, crab and oysters, and we tried the fancy stuff during a recent visit. ¶ My meal left me thinking changing the name was a good idea. When I tried standard tavern fare, like a big burger or a salad topped with chicken tenders, I enjoyed what Miller's had to offer. When I tried the fancier dishes, like salmon fillet or a soft-shell crab sandwich, I cast covetous glances at the burger. Fortunately, I am married to the burger's owner, so I got another bite.
The night our foursome arrived it was between polar vortexes, but still plenty cold as we parked with the pickup trucks behind the building. We wandered through the back door and into the dining room. Up front, there's a bar where people were drinking and watching television.
The table was set on an uneven bit of floor, so we pointed at another, and were told it was reserved. We volunteered that we had called in a reservation, which is true, and our friendly server gave us the table. It was more comfortable seating, but it was cold, so we kept our coats on while we ate.
Many of today's newly formulated tavern menus have a dash of arugula here, a slab of pork belly there. Miller's isn't trying to be a gastropub. But it does make an effort to surprise customers with food that punches above its weight class.
Chicken tenders rolled in crushed Cap'n Crunch cereal, crispy-sweet and oddly addictive, show up in a sandwich ($7.59) and salad ($8.29). Thursday is Specialty Burger Night, with an array of over-the-top burgers (like one topped with fried mac and cheese wedges, onion rings and barbecue sauce) at $8-$10 for a 4-ounce burger, $2 more for the half pounder.
At its menu's core, though, Miller's is a tavern serving tavern standards. You can order the beer-battered haddock fish fry ($10.49) on Wednesdays and Fridays. The lunch menu includes wraps, seven salads, more sandwiches and burgers, and a strip steak ($19.99).
The dinner menu's more ambitious efforts include salmon fillet ($15.99), apricot bourbon chicken ($15.99), and pastas from chicken marsala ($15.99) to shrimp scampi ($17.99).
We ordered seafood dainties ($4.99), Buffalo shrimp ($6.99), oysters Rockefeller ($7.99) and the chicken crunch salad for appetizers. Our entrees were the steak and crab cake combo (at $24.99, the most expensive dish); salmon fillet; and the 4-ounce Big Cheesy burger with the mac and cheese plus onion ring topping ($8.99). I had the soft shell crab sandwich ($8.99), which comes with "fancy sauce."
Dainties, pinky-sized shrimp tails that we pried out of their shells and dipped in butter, were plump enough to justify the work. Buffalo shrimp were tasty too, inch-long breaded and fried morsels that soaked up a zippy cayenne sauce.
The chicken crunch salad was satisfying, indulgent but balanced, with the sweet-salty chicken resting on its chaise lounge of iceberg lettuce, red onion and tomato. Everybody at the table said they would order it again.
Oysters Rockefeller were tender enough in their broiled shells, and buttery crumbs were a plus. But whole baby spinach leaves frizzled and darkened under the broiler didn't deliver the vegetal flavor that successful Rockefellers do.
Michael's seared salmon came out a disappointingly dry medium-well, though not noticeably browned. He liked the buttery broccoli and sweet potato fries with honey.
The steak was cooked to the right temperature, but it was chewy and underseasoned. The pair of crab cakes had enough crabmeat to satisfy and a whack of chile heat.
My soft shell crab had been battered and fried in a way that soaked up oil. The fancy sauce was interesting, chipotle honey perhaps, but it wasn't enough to make the sandwich enjoyable.
The beef patty in Cat's burger was seasoned well and lightly crusted, juicy, with a hint of pink left. The mac and cheese triangles added crunch with a cheesy note, and the onion rings added an "oh man" factor.
Dessert was a pleasant surprise. For $2 we got cake "shooters" in flavors including red velvet, caramel brownie and cherry cheesecake. They were rich, bite-sized cakes layered with filling in glasses just big enough to fit a spoon. I liked the cheesecake best, but would have been happy with any of them.
Don't ask the Miller's kitchen to get fancy, and you can have a pretty good meal there.

IRVINE, Ky. (AP) -- Kentucky State Police say a man died of a gunshot wound as troopers arrived at a home to serve arrest warrants.
Troopers say that 57-year-old Timothy Snowden of Paint Lick was found dead inside the house Sunday night. Troopers had gone to the house to serve warrants for first-degree assault, first-degree unlawful imprisonment, and violation of emergency protection and domestic violence orders.
Troopers say the owner of the residence in Estill County said Snowden was inside. Troopers were evacuating the homeowner when they heard a single gunshot. Snowden was found dead from an apparent gunshot wound.
The case remains under investigation.

Take Ricky Henderson, for instance. A first-ballot Hall of Fame inductee, this outspoken speed demon overstayed his welcome by at least a decade, playing for seven different teams in his last seven years alone. "You continue playing, you accomplish a lot, and you'd think people would look at it as a fantastic career," he mused during his last few years. "Instead, I think people want me to quit more than anything." That's what he did -- for a few months at least. Henderson, who never officially retired, soon got the itch to return to the diamond and he spent another two seasons aggravating opposing pitchers and teammates alike with the Newark Bears and later with the San Diego Surf Dawgs of the Golden Baseball League. Even now, at the age of 50, Henderson still believes he can contribute. "I believe today, and people say I'm crazy, but if you gave me as many at-bats that you would give the runners out there today, I would out steal every last one of them," Henderson has said. "They can always ring my phone and I'll come on down and help their ball club, that's how much I love the game."

That was quick! Unlike Kim Kardashian and Kanye West, whose honeymoon seemed to go on forever, newlywed Jessica Simpson is already back home after her post-wedding trip.
Simpson, who wed Eric Johnson on July 5 in a romantic celebration in Montecito, California, enjoyed a brief honeymoon in Mexico.
"They decided to go last-minute," a source tells PEOPLE.
But while she had a relaxing time in the sun, the new Mrs. Johnson clearly missed her children, Maxwell, 2, and Ace, 1, who'd stolen the show at her wedding.
"My kids got standing ovations," the proud mom, 33, told PEOPLE after the wedding.
Posting a photo of her blond-haired cuties on Instagram on Wednesday, she wrote, "There is no way these kids could be more adorable. OMG! So happy to be home snuggling!"

On Friday, Caps Captain Alex Ovechkin participated in Ilya Kovalchuk's charity hockey Game From Pure Heart . This year, the game was held at the Palace of Sports in Kazan and raised 8-million rubles (almost 125,000 USD) for local orphanages .
Team Morozov beat Team Kovalchuk (Ovechkin's team) 11 to 9. The retiring Alexei Morozov scored three goals in his farewell game. Kovy scored four.
Morozov's team consisted mostly of his ex-comrades from Ak Bars: Danis Zaripov, Sergei Zinoviev, Alexei Emelin, Vitali Proshkin, and Alexei Tereshchenko. The senior executive of Tatarstan/acting head of the republic, Rustam Minnikhanov, and the mayor of Kazan, Ilsur Metshin, also participated. Kovalchuk's team featured Ovechkin, Alexander Radulov, Sergei Mozyakin, plus Deputy Prime Minister Arkady Dvorkovich and KHL chairman Gennady Timchenko.
There were some good moments in the game, such as when Ovechkin played against actual children.

Project X Zone's Capcom cast showcased
The premise of Project X Zone is simple: take a huge bunch of Sega, Namco Bandai and Capcom characters and throw them all into a story-driven strategic RPG. Which characters? I'm so glad you asked, hypothetical reader. This trailer showcases some of Capcom's favourites.
Project X Zone is a 3DS exclusive due in North American at the end of June and in Europe in early July. It's pronounced "cross zone", by the way.
Thanks, Gematsu.

Otherwise called Euskad, Pais Vasco is a region many visit to get away from Spanish centers. This, as travelers to Pais Vasco hotels are aware, is Basque country. It offers a varied and dynamic landscape. There are green hills, industrial sectors, coastal cities and small fishing villages.

Even if you remain only a weekend, Pais Vasco has a lot to offer you for your enjoyment. Be sure to check with Vayama.com to help you obtain suitable accommodation in whatever area you choose.

Ah, the holidays.
For people in most operations organizations, there is a collective sigh of relief around this time of year. Not only are many of the people who are responsible for releasing changes out into the production environment on vacation (or getting ready for vacation), but the holidays are the joyful time of year that dances in the dreams of every operations person...the time of Data Center lockdowns. If vacations are not enough to sway the throng of projects coming down the pipe with the frequency of a firehose, Saint Nick and his elves (read data center staff) give us all the gift of peace for 3 weeks. This is not to say that code releases don't still happen, they do to be sure. However, with no new server deployments, server rebuilds, or really data center staff available, we in operations get a nice reprieve. Interestingly, many ops folks end up working through the holidays just because it's quiet! So to all the data centers who require holiday lockdowns, from all of us to all of you, a collective thank you!

Tortoise Chasing Peafowl
When the peafowl hopped down into the tortoises lair, the tortoise retaliated. He chased this bird twice around the enclosure, finally caught it's tail and bit a big mouthful of it. The bird got the clue and took off immediately and the tortoise went back to sunning.
This guy was way faster than anyone expected, including the peafowl, and the crowd loved it.

Kant is arguably the most influential modern philosopher, but also one of the most difficult. Roger Scruton tackles his exceptionally complex subject with a strong hand, exploring the background to Kant's work and showing why the Critique of Pure Reason has proved so enduring.
ABOUT THE SERIES: The Very Short Introductions series from Oxford University Press contains hundreds of titles in almost every subject area. This series is the perfect way to get ahead in a new subject quickly. Our expert authors combine facts, analysis, perspective, new ideas, and enthusiasm to make interesting and challenging topics highly accessible.
©1982, 2001 Roger Scruton (P)2013 Audible, Inc.
"Excellent Kant summary but horrible narration"
I couldn't even finish this book, thanks to the narrator's bizarre diction and insistence on giving parenthetical references in the middle of sentences. This is particularly annoying because most of the early book has Critique of Pure Reason Ed. 1 & ed. 2 page numbers listed. Not sure who is listening to a book and writing these down.
In terms of a Kant intro, this is solid. One needs to have at least some background in philosophy to understand the jargon, but the author does an admirable job in elucidating and summarizing some of the more complex parts of Kant's philosophy.
"Very enlightening, after a third round"
The author presents Kant's philosophy as something that is easy to understand and follow, although I had to listen to it various times to see that it was always that easy to grasp.
I think there is no disparity, there is no dissonance between the book's narrator and one's own in-head narrator.
I had read many things on Kant, had tried to read Kant directly a couple of times but was always beaten by the vocabulary, the huge amounts of cultural and philosophical baggage one must bring along in order to keep reading. I think this book made it very graspable and friendly.
College English professor who loves classic literature, psychology, neurology and hates pop trash like Twilight and Fifty Shades of Grey.
"Very Fine Introduction..."
to both Kant the man and his philosophical theories. Entertaining and enlightening stories from what little "personal life" Kant engaged in, and a thorough going-through of his ideas and how they developed. This would be particularly good for someone just beginning to study Kant.
"To go straight to the deepest depth,"
Whilst browsing the reviews of the print version, I noticed phrases like 'hard to follow' & 'difficult subject' but pressed ahead. Having read some other works by Roger Scruton, I was impressed by his ability to capture the essence of difficult subjects and was aware that Kant's philosophy influences much of Roger's own writing.
Unfortunately I cannot claim that listening to chapters 3 to 5 increased my (very modest) understanding of the basics of Kant's philosophy. Listening to those chapters seemed rather like listening to someone narrate computer code. I imagine the audio version of 'Design patterns' by Gamma et al would sound like this.
The problem was exaggerated by the extensive references (to multiple revisions of the source) which accompany every quote from Kant's original work. These are unobtrusive in print, but it was a poor decision to include them in the audio version.
The fault is mainly mine, as I listen to audio books whilst working or driving. I just need to read those chapters for myself, rather than via a narrator.
Quite suddenly, at chapter 6, Roger's distinctive style leaps from the page (speakers), and the rest of the book is everything I hoped the first crucial chapters would be: enlightening & enjoyable.

NEC Aims to Boost Network Gear Sales as More Carriers Adopt LTE
NEC Corp., Japan's biggest personal computer maker, aims to boost sales of equipment for high-speed wireless services as more carriers upgrade their networks.
NEC expects 70 billion yen ($852 million) of LTE, or Long Term Evolution, technology equipment sales by fiscal 2012, Associate Senior Vice President Shunichiro Tejima said today. The company expects to get 20 percent of that from overseas markets, he said.
NEC is vying with Fujitsu Ltd. to win equipment contracts as NTT DoCoMo Inc., Japan's biggest wireless carrier, and other telecommunications companies invest in rolling out faster services. DoCoMo last month started its domestic LTE service and plans to spend 35 billion yen in the year through March, upgrading the system to help cell phones and other mobile devices transfer data at the speed of a fiber-optic network.
NEC fell 1.2 percent to 239 yen at the 3 p.m. close of trading in Tokyo.
DoCoMo plans to increase the number of its LTE transmission stations to 5,000 by the end of March 2012, an increase that would extend the network's coverage to 20 percent of the population from 7 percent this fiscal year. KDDI Corp., Japan's second-largest mobile-phone carrier, is currently testing its own LTE network and plans to roll it out in 2012.
Demand Outside Japan
NEC is also betting it will be able to capitalize on demand outside of Japan for faster wireless networks. Spain's Telefonica SA, Europe's second-largest phone company, is using base stations and core networks, devices used to store user data, purchased from NEC in a trial network, the Japanese company said in October.
NEC forecasts operating profit, or sales minus the cost of goods sold and administrative expenses, of 100 billion yen on sales of 3.3 trillion yen this fiscal year. The company's carrier network unit, which supplies undersea transmission cables along with wireless equipment, is forecast to post 40 billion yen in operating profit on revenue of 660 billion yen.
Some 180 phone companies in 70 countries are considering the introduction of LTE networks, according to NEC. Already 17 carriers, including Verizon Communications Inc. have introduced LTE service, it said.

Harley Quinn's Greatest Moments from "Batman: The Animated Series"
TV, Comic Books
With Robert Kirkman's Invincible hitting #100 this week, we figured it would be an interesting idea to spotlight all the other comic book creators that had at least 100 issue long runs on North American comic book series.
The exact issue numbers really don't matter (there's a lot of "rough" estimates in the piece), but rather just spotlighting all the creators out there who have put in long runs on series (it certainly is tough to do).
Click here to read the article.
Now that is a cool feature. Well assembled!
Very cool article. Kahniger is truly THE Iron Man amongst Iron Men. That is a ton of titles that he had huge runs on.
Great fun, Brian I believe Cary Bates and his run on THE FLASH qualifies as well.
Good catch, Xum. Bates actually would make it on his Action Comics run, as well.
Oh yeah, good call– that was about 150 issues, something like that? And that's not even including the Flash stories in Adventure Comics, DC Special, etc.
Another one I left off was Dick Ayers on Sgt. Fury.
Plus, as someone else noted, if you combine all his Conan work (Barbarian, Savage Sword, etc.) when he returned to writing Conan, then Roy Thomas could probably get on the list again.
That was a really great list. I hadn't realized some people had been on those books that long. Dick Dillin especially surprised me.
Would John Ostrander's GrimJack count? It'd be close, but if you count the Killer Instinct and Manx Cat mini-series IDW published (12 issues total), the Demon Knight graphic novel, and the back-up stories in Starslayer (7 or 8 issues), I think he just makes it. Guess it depends on whether the back-ups can count as a full issue.

Instantly my minds goes to: C.C.Beck, Curt Swan, Dick Dillin, Wayne Boring/Al Plastino, and Dick Sprang/Jerry Robinson. Then comes Claremont, Baron/Rude, "Our Pal" Sal's Hulk, Aragonés, Sims, Banks, and Dan DeCarlo's Archie. But truly the one that most impresses me today is the length at which J.R.JR has been a part of the Spider-Man mythos. He's been there for, like 25/30 years. While I can't stand Klaus as his inker (his best Spidey issue {IMHO} was inked by his Iron Man cohort Bob Layton, featuring the Vulture) his continued association with the character is our generations pinnacle.
P.S. All that being said; the one that I have the most of in a row is Claremont followed by Larson's Savage Dragon.
As far as I know, Lee Falk was writing the Phantom up until his final days. I'm sure if any Phantom phans read this, they could tell you exact numbers.
Great article! What about Bill Black on Fem Force?
We're only talking North American comic books here. The Phantom never had a comic book here that lasted that long.
What about Peter David's X-Factor? The last volume should definitely count.
Sorry half asleep and missed PAD's mention. Just ignore my comment.

Great article! What about Bill Black on Fem Force?
Hmmm…it's interesting. I definitely looked into Black for the piece but I didn't put him on the list. So I think that he missed enough issues not to qualify, but it might also have been that I just forgot to follow up on it. I hope it is the former.
Damn, that's cool. Nice work, Brian.
Here are my nitpicks
If you're counting Space Usagi for Usagi Yojimbo (and that's questionable, the Space Usagi character is, I believe, a descendant of the Usagi Yojimbo we follow in that series), there were actually 3 3 issue minis — at least 1 from Mirage, at least 1 from Dark Horse, and I can't remember which of those 2 companies did the other one. So that adds on another 6 issues if you count it, take away 3 if not.
And to be really anal, Gerhard was on 236 issues (all but the first 64).
Otherwise, awesome list. Just had to get my OCD worked out there And is our friend Jones correct about Tripp and Stanley on Lulu?
Yeah, Tripp and Stanley are both correct. I actually had them on the list initially but while I was working out on an exact issue total for them, I must have forgotten to put them back on the final list.
The exact total is, I believe, a zillion issues, every one of them delightful. Stanley/Tripp 4EVA
I guess the Phantom more qualifies as a ongoing newspaper serial than as a published comic in the States.
Maybe a discussion about newspaper serials can be for another day.
Falk's work on Phantom indeed counts more as newspaper serial, and on that field there are several really artists who worked on same title for decades (Mort Walker, Charles Schultz, Floyd Gottfredson…)
There are couple of other profilic Disney artists who made a considerable career in American comic books beside Barks, though they are less known. Tony Strobl and Paul Murry are first to to come to mind…
My "problem" with guys like Strobl is that I am unsure if they held to the same regularity as Barks. This is not just about volume, but also specifically adhering to a strict schedule for a long time. They very well could have, but I found it hard to demonstrate it either way, ya know? But yeah, I definitely considered the other Disney artists, Strobl especially. I guess I might as well count them, as the odds are that they did, in fact, never go more than three months between comics.
Yeah, several artists of the period probably had the volume but might be more irregular or have stints on strips, illustrations, animation… Strobl probably has the best claim for being "regular" but the info is not particularly easy to get, even from Inducks database…
What makes all of those long runs by Robert Kanigher even more impressive is that they were happening at pretty much the same time!
How long did Bob Haney write The Brave and the Bold? It seemed like he did the book from before I was born until I got out of high school.
@azjohnson5: I can't agree more about JRJr. He's one of my favorite artists, and I love Klaus Janson's work, too, but together it is one of the worst penciler/inker pairings I've seen. It played a big part in my dropping Avengers after the last Bendis relaunch. Layton was his best inker, with Scott Hanna a close second for me.
Garth Ennis should get an honorable mention for writing approximately 115 issues of The Punisher, but he wouldn't make the list for the somewhat scatter shot way they all came out.
I know it's a bit nit-picky but aren't some of those Conan issues reprints (at least 2 of those from savage sword)
How long did Bob Haney write The Brave and the Bold? It seemed like he did the book from before I was born until I got out of high school.
He had too many gaps. He just BARELY missed it.
That was an amazing article, Brian. Thank you so much for writing it.
Not a bad article, but could use some more research. A lot of those runs you have as consecutive had gaps you don't list. In addition to some already mentioned, I know Sal Buscema's HULK run had an issue by Ditko and and issue by Infantino in there, and Marv Wolfman had a few gaps in his run on NEW TITANS. And Robert Kanigher was the editor of all those early war comics, but didn't always have a story he scripted in every issue, and he was off Haunted Tank in G.I. Combat for a year that Archie Goodwin wrote, although he had back-up stories in a few of those issues. And I'm not sure why you stopped counting Kanigher's OUR FIGHTING FORCES run at #104. He was on that until #150, then Jack Kirby took over for a year, then Kanigher did another 19 issues after Kirby left.
And if you applied the same standard to Kanigher as you do to everyone else on the 300+ side of the list, and just list "The DC War books, 1952-1988″, he'd probably come in over 1000.
Speaking of which, one you can add, Sam Glanzman, he had at least one story, sometimes more, in every issue of G.I. COMBAT from #150 to #288, except for one issue where the Haunted Tank story was a reprint.
Also, Dennis O'Neil wrote every issue of AZRAEL, #1 to #100, plus three Annuals, a "One Million" issue, and two one-shots, AZRAEL PLUS and AZRAEL/ASH.
And I'd have to check, but the Carl Barks number seems a bit high, I think you're counting individual stories, not issues, including single page stories. By those standards, those Archie guys would be up in the thousands easy.
And the Curt Swan number seems low. I'm sure you'd get up well over 500 just with the main titles, SUPERMAN, ACTION, JIMMY OLSEN and LOIS LANE, never mind the Superboy/Legion stories and Superman/Batman team-ups.
As the article notes, creators were allowed gaps as large as three months off of the book while still counting as consecutive.
Also, back-up features count. They're a story in the issue, so of course they'd count.
If we went by Barks' stories alone, he'd likely hit the thousands. Heck, if we went by stories, Frank Doyle would likely hit the 10,000 figure. But I think the number is accurate for how many comic books Barks' stories appeared in.
But good calls on the Glanzman and O'Neil bits! It's weird, because I actually specifically checked Glanzman, but I guessed I thought he missed too many G.I. Combats (but he didn't).
Unless I missed him, I suggest Kurt Schaffenberger on Lois Lane, but I don't know how many gaps he has. I'd forgotten about his being fired for union activity.
Schaffenberger never made it on Lois Lane due to gaps.
While I understand why it isn't really reflected in the list in this manner, I think the greatest "Iron Man" achievement in comics is the totality of Chris Claremont's mutant work from 1975-1991, where he was often writing 3 or more mutant titles and tie-ins per month. By my best count, he wrote 384 individual comics during that span that featured the mutant canon, which are:
Avengers Annual 10
Classic X-Men 1-17, 19, 21, 23-24, 41-43 (new Claremont written back-ups)
Excalibur Special Edition, 1-19, 21-25, 27, 32-34, 36, Mojo Mayhem
Fantastic Four Giant Size 4, vs. X-Men 1-4
Iron Fist 15 (the only issue in the run that featured the X-Men)
Kitty Pryde and Wolverine 1-6
Magik 1-4
Marvel Comics Presents 1-10
Marvel Fanfare 1-4, 33, 40
Marvel Team-Up 65-66, 69, 89, 100, Annual 1 (the mutant relevant issues of the run)
Ms. Marvel 18
New Mutants Graphic Novel, 1-54, 81, Annual 1-3, Special Edition
Spider-Woman 37-38, 42-43 (the mutant relevant issues of the run)
Uncanny X-Men 94-279, Annual 3-12, 14
Wolverine 1-4 (mini series), 1-8, 10
X-Factor 65-68
X-Men God Love Man Kills, /New Teen Titans, /Alpha Flight 1-2, /Micronauts 1-4, (2nd series) 1-3
It really is pretty astonishing when you think about how he took a book being published bi-monthly, and over the next 15 years of writing those characters virtually by himself, he transformed it into an empire that was supporting 6 monthly titles at the time he left, and probably over a dozen now. So it's not just the streak of how long he kept it up, but also the degree to which he raised the profile of what he was working on.
And on the list you've created, the number 384 would place Claremont #1 of the Big Two Iron Man achievements. Which I think is where it belongs.
But man, this list was great fun to look at and learn from. Good job Brian.

Tottenham Hotspur Message Board
How many players/teams have rejected us this transfer window...I feel an inkling of joy amongst the press when these stories come out (true or not)...are they all Gooner supporters? So who so far, David Villa, Aguero, Carroll...PHIL effin NEVILLE...Come on!!
Oh and how the hell do you (Chavs) announce a 70 million pound deficit and then go spend 75 million? Might get a visit from the Administartion Men before long with that kind of business acumen (how the hell do you do the double, do whatever in the other domestic cup and you're in the CL and end up with a 70 mill plus deficit...overpaid players I'm guessing (and the board and management staff too!). We'll see.
So Torres and Luiz are now Chavs..and Carroll's a scouser...smhSort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies
Don't really want to talk about our failure in the market this window. Even the Charlie Adam move came too late but if we'd got him it's still another midfielder we all know (except Harry obviously) that we don't need.
Have to agree with you Rambro re the chavs. All talk of great deals for Chelski without any reference to the 67.?m pound loss they strategically slipped into the mix. Wish the new financial regulations were already in place. Citeh and Chelski aren't stupid though, they know they have to sign everyman and his dog now so that when the new regs come in nobody can touch 'em anyway.
Time for the lads we've got to stand up and be counted. If they want to keep playing in Europe it's time for them to prove it 'cause only they can do it now!

Normally I love deadline day, I feel betrayed by this one. I'm not angry, just disappointed...
Bitterly disappointed that Keane's move went through yesterday, I've come to rely on him for D-day activity (gossip even if not action).
20 mins yet to go till it closes... but it's looking pretty hopeless now. I am very disappointed that we've let the january window pass without strengthening our squad at all! (no... I didn't forget about Pienaar)
I feel we've been spurned by all these players/clubs because we leave things too late and then scramble around like headless chickens going after almost anyone that plays a certain position.
For some reason we don't focus on a target and just go after him with serious intention.
We all knew Liverpool were after Suarez, it dragged on, but they got him. They even managed to focus in on Carroll, and again, they got him.
These are two targets that we had in our sights, but we didn't show any real intention.
Yes! Liverpool payed way too much for both, but if they click and do well on the pitch, they could very well leapfrog us in the table and perhaps even grab that unlikey 4th spot should any of that lot up there slip up.
I certainly don't see us progressing what with our lack of firepower upfront and the casualty unit we have for a defence.
This season is proving to be a let down, our strikers have let us down badly this season, and I feel that Harry doesn't seem to know or ackonowledge our frailties.
The biggest worry for me, is what happens in the summer? Will we be able to hold on to the wonderful players we do have, and will we be able to attract any more of that ilk to our club? Because really, apart from lucking out on VdV in the previous window... we do seem to make a shambles of things in the transfer market.
Transfers seem to be our biggest weakness

Review: Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand.
What a mastermind behind this book. The book is long-winded but I enjoyed every page. What helped me to understand, follow and stay interested in the story was reading it in sections among reading other books. The book was well written, organized, creative characters, and completely detailed and described context throughout the book. There was some tedious writing here and there but nothing that I wouldn't say was distracting, in fact sometimes it helped me to remember situations and issues of a long story that has to hold and expand my memory more than usual.
The story takes place somewhere in the 1950's and is based on the industrial, economic, government, and the society of the Unite States through Ayn Rand's philosophy and how she wants the reader to interpret her words. Not everyone needs to agree with her generic philosophy but I for one appreciate what and how she was illustrating the pragmatic results of right and wrong vs. theories and principles.
Rand uses some ideal characters as Dagny Taggart who co-owns and runs a continental railroad, Francisco D'Anconia who owns copper mines and Hank Rearden who owns a large steel mill in modern America and through these symbolic characters and more Rand's philosophy represents the descriptive forces of love, hate, politics, integrity and morality of two kinds of people, the creators and the leeches.
The whole concept of the story is based mainly on an industrial setting, where Ayn Rand demonstrates the destruction that would happen to the world should the "looters" take over, moving the focus of society from the individual to the combined structure of greed, from superiority to impartiality, and from productivity to idleness. The plot is one that is remarkably able to portray all the implications of unselfish and generous, socialistic views in a serious misled society. The result would be a sure case for the unrestrictive, capitalist state in which one thinks for oneself and creates severe effort to achieve and flourish. Rand explains this problem and represents its solution by using a character trait of personal interiority and selfish actions of the leading characters as Dagny Taggart, John Galt, and Hank Readen, among a handful of others who are leaders of productive, virtuous element if society representing capitalism, and industry. The "creators" are the pioneering people who use the power of their will and intelligence to better humanity. Meanwhile, Rand uses people like Dagny's brother Jim Taggart, Mr. Thompson, Dr Ferris, and other characters of corrupt spineless people as the "looters" representing socialism, destruction, and the degradation of society.
Atlas Shrugged is an explanation of what has been, and always will be at the core of America prosperity, "Freedom and Capitalist".
I'm not sure if this is a good review but instead of telling parts of the story I went for bases for the story. It was an easy understanding of Ayn Rand's philosophy but hard to review. I felt it was a great enjoyable book….."Who is John Galt"?
Yes I like it very much, it's good literature, but I don't agree at all with the caricatural philosophy, wich is very heavy.
I really liked this book and, while it does tend towards long monologues, I enjoyed reading them (I could not have done the 50 hour audiobook, however). They made a lot more sense to me when I treated this more as a book of Rand's Objectivist philosophy as opposed to a book of fiction. I still have to see how much this affects how I think about the world but it's amazing to me how often I hear someone paraphrase "I need therefore, I deserve" wholeheartedly. It's hard for me to describe how I feel about her philosophies but the end result of Eddie Willers haunts me. The fact that even Rand saw the honest but
'normal' (as opposed to the behemoths of Dagny, D'Anconia, etc) as ultimately falling in the battle between the immoral and moral saddened me.
Very influential I have to admit. Made me think a lot about the place of individualism versus collectivism in society. A fairly uplifting story to boot.
Certainly there is a message, much stronger today under the current government philosophy than in years past. I had heard much about the book and wanted to read it - but chose instead to listen to it on CD. I am glad I did so - if I'd have tried to read it I never would have finished it. Although the majority of the book kept my interest, eventually I thought it just dissolved into a bunch of blather and lost its core message in the latter part of the book.
"Despite laborious monologues, the reader will stay with this strange world, borne along by its story and eloquent flow of ideas."
"to warn contemporary America against abandoning its factories, neglecting technological progress and abolishing the profit motive seems a little like admonishing water against running uphill."
"inspired" and "monumental" but "(t)o the Christian, everyone is redeemable. But Ayn Rand's ethical hardness may repel those who most need her message: that charity should be voluntary…. She should not have tried to rewrite the Sermon on the Mount."
Atlas Shrugged represents a watershed in the history of world literature.
"remarkably silly" and "can be called a novel only by devaluing the term" ... "From almost any page of Atlas Shrugged, a voice can be heard, from painful necessity, commanding: 'To the gas chambers — go!'"

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0452011876, Paperback)At last, Ayn Rand's masterpiece is available to her millions of loyal readers in trade paperback.
With this acclaimed work and its immortal query, "Who is John Galt?", Ayn Rand found the perfect artistic form to express her vision of existence. Atlas Shrugged made Rand not only one of the most popular novelists of the century, but one of its most influential thinkers.
Atlas Shrugged is the astounding story of a man who said that he would stop the motor of the world--and did. Tremendous in scope, breathtaking in its suspense, Atlas Shrugged stretches the boundaries further than any book you have ever read. It is a mystery, not about the murder of a man's body, but about the murder--and rebirth--of man's spirit.
Atlas Shrugged is the "second most influential book for Americans today" after the Bible, according to a joint survey conducted by the Library of Congress and the Book of the Month Club
(retrieved from Amazon Thu, 12 Mar 2015 18:15:10 -0400)
The decisions of a few industrial leaders shake the roots of capitalism and reawaken man's awareness of himself as an heroic being.

Sun Apr 29 2012 (Updated 05/02/12)SEIU 1021 Asks: Downtown Greed or the City We Need?
Sun Apr 29 2012 (Updated 05/02/12)Twenty-Three SEIU Members and Supporters Arrested During SF Protest in Front of BofA
On April 18th, in one of the largest rallies in SEIU 1021's history, 23 members were arrested in front of Bank of America Wednesday for taking a stand against mega banks and corporations who have been cheating San Francisco residents for over a decade. At the intersection of Van Ness Avenue and Market Street, more than 1,300 people were chanting "Let the People Go, Arrest the CEOs." They were there to support the protesters, who sat in the crosswalk. By 6:30 PM, one by one each of the 23 protesters were handcuffed and put into the back of SFPD vans. On the front and back of each protester were large stickers that read "It's time to draw the line: downtown greed or the city we need."
"We chose to be arrested at a symbolic intersection: It's the intersection that houses the Department of Human Resources and Bank of America, said Larry Bradshaw, Vice President of SEIU Local 1021. "That intersection symbolizes City Hall tax policies that prioritize tax cuts for the 1% while demanding pay and health care cuts for the 99%." Research shows that only 10 percent of San Francisco's registered businesses are paying the local payroll tax. The tax fails to tax highly profitable sectors of the economy such as banks like Bank of America and corporations.

Are you sure about NVDA's claims? Did you see the press release they issued about an hour ago? They're expecting to report revenue of about $950M, versus a $1066M prior forecast. So that's about a $100M revenue miss. AMD's statement sounds OK to me; I would not characterize it as a 'unique to AMD' problem.
