The Kingdom of the Dark Grail
Chapter 1
It was Tuluk 3rd Of Mayfire. (For those not knowledgeable of The Kingdom of the Dark Grail the date is Thursday 3rd Of March) I (Makrog, an Orc) was at The Bawd's Theft, in the Province of the Barbarian's Flame a town called Broken Steel to be exact, drinking and laughing with friends; women winked at me but I waved them away as they would steal your wages at a finger snap. I laughed and drank some more, we all danced and chuckled with great merriment. But the inn closed at midnight; I wandered out of the inn drunk into the freezing winter night, the snow crunched underfoot as I walked. I heard the beggars croak out to me "Help us, please sir!?" I walked on. A masked thief jumped out and stabbed at me. But I jumped back and drunkenly punched him in the face, he squeaked and scampered off. I continued home drunk and stumbled into my house, I staggered over to the kitchen and drank some mead and went over to my mirror, my scruffy neck and face and tight brown hair was under shadowed by my wide strong shoulders, muscular frame and dark brown skin, I laughed at my now apparent broken nose, wiped off the blood then went into my room and passed out.
As I slept, I had a dream... Of fame fortune and women, but during it all I had an ever growing sense of danger and strength as it all built up to a stop then exploded and with a wheezing breath I jumped out of bed. I looked around then got up and changed into my tunic and dark cotton trousers and went out of my room. The centre room was a mess as I tried to think what I did last night, as my head was pounding and the house was a wreck. I also wondered why my father hadn't visited as he usually visited in the morning to see how I was doing, I stumbled over to the kitchen and opened my chest as he usually leaves messages in there, I found a note. It read: Makrog, it is time. Go forth into the lower labyrinth use this key and open the chest marked "for the future times" Inside you will find a book. I looked at the key then picked it up and wandered over to the locked door, the one that my father had once told him never to go near. I inserted the key and turned it in the lock, the door opened with a creak and I cautiously walked down, I descended down the dark stairway into the cellar below I lit a torch and crept over to the chest inscribed "for the future times" I opened the chest and light shone all through the cellar and died down. I picked up the dusty old book and opened it, the book bellowed in a deep gluttal voice "WHO ARE YE TO READ THE MALAK BOOK!?" I stuttered "Ma- Ma- Ma- Makrog gro-Bulag, I gulped and the book roared "READ ON THEN..." I looked at the page as writing appeared as he looked. It read: Hello son, by the time you read this I will be dead read on and you will understand. This book will wipe away the Orcish language and shall re-write in the Grailian language I taught you. Ye shall see soon why ye cannot simply read the Orcish son. Along the way ye will use magic, deception and ultimately the hidden power that belongs to all of the gro-Bulag descendants from your great, great, great grandfather Makrog, my son you have thy grandfather's name. By now son ye must be wondering, "Why did you have to die?" I Malaki wrote this book to tell you about thy legacy as The One True Orc, a title that has been given to many, but taken up by few, thy great grandfather Grugnulf was one of such who took up the mantle, to serve Malakath in anyway... I died protecting you when Malakath's advisor Turuth went mad and corrupt with power stole The Dark Grail and locked Malakath in the dark abyss of the magical universe. Turuth then detected you and set out to kill you. I however was told of this in a dream by Malakath who give me the words that would destroy Turuth and his soul for if only his body was gone he would return soon after and continue on his reign of terror. So now while writing this I am planning on how to stop Turuth from going further on his path of destruction. If I die, remember the hidden power son... Use the words...
I stopped, puzzled as the rest of the page was unintelligible writing of the Orcish language which I could sort of understand, but when I tried to read it, it seemed to be wiped from memory instantly. "Must be my father's magic" I thought as I further studied the writing. "Orc magic when unlocked is ancient and almost as strong as elf magic" As I was thinking about this I remembered the gear my father had gifted me a few years back and I grabbed it from the wardrobe close by. The fur lined Steel Armour, old Iron Shield and Steel Sword with cloth sheath. But before I went up, I remembered my blood power (all Orcs develop this) When I was younger I would take anger fits normal as we learnt later, for an adolescent Orc. My father took me to a doctor, an Imperial expert on Orc biology. And he told my father I was just going through the normal growth of an adolescent Orc, anger fits fuelled by the blood rage. I rushed up the stairs, and standing there in front of me was a thief rustling through my father's chest with a grin on his face as he tried on the emerald rings within. I roared and un-sheathed my sword and ran at the thief. The thief screeched and jumped back, as I stabbed at his chest the broken leather tearing, the thief screamed "STOP AGH!" But I roared "NO!" I punched the thief in the face and a loud crack could be heard. I then bashed him in the shoulder and the thief staggered down and I stood over him ready for the finishing move. The thief looked up and croaked "Stop!" I stopped and looked into the Human's eyes and I saw who he was, I whispered "Ulfgar? Ulfgar Ice-Veins, it is you!" I proclaimed. Ulfgar staggered up and looked at me. Ulfgar stuttered "Makrog gro-Bulag?" "How did you come to Barbarian's Flame?" I looked at him and said "I'll tell you later but now I have to ask... What happened to you Ulfgar? Robbing houses?" Ulfgar stammered "I-I-I lost everything Makrog..." I asked "How?" Ulfgar told me everything; I stood back and grunted "You 'assaulted' a noble and he..." "Blackmailed me..." Ulfgar whispered sadly "I lost it all Makrog, my wife, my money. All I owned..." I said quietly "I can help Ulfgar, you could come with me to Methophala, I have a... Quest to complete" Ulfgar moaned "Do I have to?" I looked at Ulfgar then laughed. My mad red eyes twinkled in the candlelight.
Now after this interesting ordeal we two intrepid adventurers walked down the street to what once was my father's forge, (but as he is dead I suppose it belongs to me now) But as we came closer we saw torch-light shining from the forge. It seems no place is safe in Broken Steel as it was thieves, (three Humans and an Elf). And they were looting all they could find from the forge, I roared "FINALLY, SOME ACTION!" I equipped my sword and ran towards the thieves. I struck the first with a clean slash to the head it stuck in his head and the thief let out a gargle and slumped onto the floor. The second I hit with a strong right hook and then I wrenched the thief's head from his very body; the blood spurted from the stump I left behind as I tore the head I had ripped off straight in half! Now Ulfgar shocked from the chaos that I had forced upon the thieves finally ran forward and stabbed at the third thief. The sword stuck in the thief's abdomen and Ulfgar shouted "Yeah, DIE!" Ulfgar then kicked the thief's knee and a cracking was heard as the thief screeched "AGH... NO!" Ulfgar punched the thief in the face and tore his sword out of his body. The last (slimy elf) was too fast and sprinted away in the direction of Deep Rock "Come back, coward!" Ulfgar shouted after him. I looked at Ulfgar and growled "Leave him, he's not worth it"

Two tantrums that worked, sort of.

I'm a bit embarrassed to relate this. And I do not advocate treating clients this way. It is childish and unprofessional. (But it felt good.) In general I adore my clients. I offer this only because the statute of limitations has expired. Here's the story.
Freelance rule: Always have a side project
By waltkania in Getting work, Good stories 1 Comment
When you're not actively doing work for a client, be working on something of your own. Something you want to build just because you want to. Write some software, amass a collection, do a book, build some design templates, take pictures of ice crystals. Whatever you're passionate about. Good example:

Aaron Dorr, a veteran banker recently let go by Jefferies & Co., has found a new home.
Dorr has joined Sandler O'Neill and will head the firm's asset management group, according to a statement. Dorr will be based in New York and will report to Brian Sterling and William Hickey, Sander's co-heads of investment banking.
In February, I reported that Dorr and Kevin Pakenham, both MDs in financial institutions group at Jefferies, would be leaving the investment bank. Jefferies, at that time, also let go of Karamvir Gosal, and MD, as well as two junior bankers. Pakenham, Dorr and Gosal all hail from Putnam Lovell, which Jefferies acquired in 2007.
Sandler, a New York investment bank known for advising financial services firms, was also in the news recently. Kelso & Co. and the Carlyle Group, in November, made a substantial minority investment in Sandler.Get your FREE trial or subscribe now to Buyouts to find new deal opportunities, super-charge your fundraising efforts and track top managers.

On Thursday, we presented you with the over-under win totals for each Legends Division team. So naturally we turn our attention today to the Leaders Division.
A couple of things to keep in mind here. One, we're using the over-unders set by Bodog Sports for every team except Illinois, Indiana, Minnesota, Northwestern and Purdue. For those teams we made our own lines. Also, these are regular-season win totals only, so potential bowl games don't count.
Let's dive in to the Leaders, shall we?
Over-under wins: 7
Brian Bennett: Over
Oh, that schedule. The first five games at home, a very manageable road slate and no Nebraska or Michigan State. This season is set up for at least eight wins if the Illini are as good or better than they were a year ago.
Adam Rittenberg: Over
I nearly went with a push here, but I also see the Illini maximizing on an extremely favorable schedule. They should be no worse than 5-1 and possibly 6-0 when Ohio State visits Champaign on Oct. 15. Nathan Scheelhaase will be an even more dangerous quarterback, and while the defense has some question marks, Illinois finally strings together two successful seasons.
Over-under wins: 4
Brian Bennett: Push.
The Hoosiers won five a year ago, and new head coach Kevin Wilson is impressive. But IU has a brutal road slate (at Ohio State, at Michigan State, at Wisconsin, at Iowa), and their nonconference game against Virginia is a toss-up. I think Wilson does good things in Bloomington but has a humble beginning.
Adam Rittenberg: Push
The schedule concerns me, although Indiana will pull off at least one fairly significant upset in the Big Ten. I just don't think the Hoosiers have enough at quarterback to consistently put up points, and while the defense should be a bit better, the track record on that side of the ball concerns me. This team wins 3-5 games, so I'll go right in the middle.
Over-under wins: 9
Brian Bennett: Under.
Darn you, Vegas! I think a 9-win season is about right for the Buckeyes, but I don't want to keep using the dreaded push bet. So I'm going under, because it seems more likely that Ohio State goes 8-4 than 10-2 given all the changes the program experienced this offseason. I realize this is almost certainly a losing wager, however.
Adam Rittenberg: Over
After watching Ohio State dominate this league for a decade, I think I need to actually see the Buckeyes stumble before believing it. Ohio State might need to win a lot of games 17-13, but the defense once again will be solid and the run game should be, too. The Buckeyes will lose a crossover game, but their home schedule in the division is really beneficial. Will 10 wins be enough for Luke Fickell to remain Buckeyes coach?
Over-under wins: 8
Brian Bennett: Push.
Another stinking push. I don't see Penn State going 7-5 in the regular season again -- the Nittany Lions have to get some better luck with their health, don't they -- but 9-3 or better seems lofty, especially with Alabama on the nonconference slate. So I'll wuss out and say 8-4.
Adam Rittenberg: Under
Penn State fans are going to kill me, but I have some concerns, both from a personnel standpoint and with the schedule. Line play is an issue and there are questions in the offensive backfield. Alabama will be a very tough test, and the closing stretch -- Nebraska, at Ohio State, at Wisconsin -- is absolutely brutal. This will be a better Penn State team, but it could have the same record.
Over-under wins: 5
Brian Bennett: Over
Danny Hope and the Boilers really need to get back to a bowl, and I say they do this year. The first three games (Middle Tennessee, Rice, Southeast Missouri State) are extremely winnable, and if Purdue can find a way to knock off Notre Dame at home, it should be on its way to the postseason.
Adam Rittenberg: Over
The opening stretch you mention gives Purdue a chance to build some confidence before the Notre Dame game, which provides a true barometer of the Boilers' potential. While I don't see Purdue challenging for the Leaders division, it will get back to a bowl game for the first time since 2007. A 7-5 mark seems about right.
Over-under wins: 9
Brian Bennett: Over
I was reluctant to go over or take the push with Nebraska at 10, but I feel better about Wisconsin's chances. The Badgers won 11 a year ago and should be able to match that if they can go at least 2-1 against the Huskers, Michigan State and Ohio State.
Adam Rittenberg: Over
I feel pretty confident in this pick after watching the Badgers practice earlier this week. They need Russell Wilson to stay healthy, but they'll sweep the nonconference portion and likely won't lose a game at home. Wisconsin probably splits its back-to-back road night games against Michigan State and Ohio State, but the Badgers win 10 or 11 in the regular season.

Devastating tragedy in Prince George.
An absolutely devastating scene in Prince George, at Lakeland mills where a massive explosion and fire last night has taken the life of 1 person and horrifically burned many others. My heart jumped when I read the scan bc report sent by a friend, since I have family working at another mill in PG, but not this one. I was actually down by this mill while I was in PG, very busy place and a lot of wood going through. All I can say is my heart is with those men and families this morning and I know the people of P.G. will help each other get through this. My deepest condolences and thoughts are with all of you today. We can replace mills and buildings, we can't replace a human life. http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/story/2012/04/24/bc-prince-george-mill-fire.html

PROS / Frontpoint has first-rate customer support.
CONS / You do not get a two-way intercom to communicate with a company representative during an emergency.
VERDICT / Frontpoint's versatile approach to home security can meet each home's unique needs, making it a good security monitoring choice.
Editor's note: This information was taken directly from the company's website.

Steve May: Public input sought on mule deer situation
There are 26 comments on the Silver City Sun-News story from Aug 21, 2009, titled Steve May: Public input sought on mule deer situation. In it, Silver City Sun-News reports that:I want to inform your readers of pending meetings being planned in Silver City, Grant County and many other New Mexico mountain communities by the state Game & Fish Department.
Join the discussion below, or Read more at Silver City Sun-News.

The primary reason that feeding is discouraged is that it provides a false food supply. In other words, the population grows due to the provided food and becomes unsustainable naturally. The deer HAVE to come into residential areas to get the feed because there are so many deer, there isn't enough forage to sustain them all.
This, of course, puts them in direct contact with people, their gardens, their dogs, and their cars.
If people were no longer allowed to feed the deer, there would be a die-off until a naturally sustainable population was left.
#2 Aug 23, 2009
The problem is a people problem. People feed them and draw them in!which is nice but it depends who your neghibor
is. The lady with a large rose garden will not like it.
The little walnut area is full of deer, because theirs so many people feeding them daily.Iv'e worked that area and
seen so many people feeding them.Its out of control people that have created this problem.Want the deer to go away,
stop feeding them.
#3 Aug 23, 2009
Steve... Thanks for the heads up on this, and well said.
United States
#5 Aug 23, 2009
It was nice that Steve May and Mr. Nupp could show up - what about the rest of the council? Too few people really care, there is no excuse for the elected officials to be no shows......
#6 Aug 23, 2009
In Michigan State Parks within city boundrys are opened to "sharp shooters" because there are no longer natural predators. Any protesters who dont want that to happened are saying that they would rather have the deer starve to death. Stop feeding the deer, then either cull the herd or let the population crash from starvation.
#7 Aug 23, 2009
Aha! State Game and Fish run amok!
They keep justifying the sale of hunting licenses with the claim that they are game managers, that only they hold the answers to environmentally conscientious programs geared to maintaining sustainable herd sizes, and etc., etc.,etc.
They really have no more handle on the problem than economists have on the new Depression.
Send those big white Bwanas back to Texas, fire fish and game officials, and leave the game to fend for themselves.(Feeders and managers alike)
#8 Aug 23, 2009
The deer problem is making the rounds throughout the country. One side hunts them, another side feeds them, and the State Game officials use them for pawns in an ongoing effort to justify their lack of management skills. A suggestion for Steve May: quit your frustrating position on the council and go back to burning steaks.(venison)
By the way, javelinas are making a similar comeback in the SW. Homeowners should keep feeding them, especially all those Silver City retirees who have nothing better to do than support J.D's feed store.( He quite frankly laughs all the way to the bank-and back for more.)
#9 Aug 24, 2009
To all you who don't live here, Silver is on the edge of 11.5 million acres of national forest/wilderness. It starts in the 'suburbs'. The wilderness area didn't use to have all the homes in it. I've been around lots of deer and even close to mountain lion, javelinas, pecciaries,etc. and the thing is, they were here FIRST. There's got to be some respect. But the fact we live on the edge of millions of acres of wild habitat means we have to do something different than all these other places around the country.
#10 Aug 24, 2009
I think the real question is this: Do we seriously have an over population of deer around here, or are a handful of unhappy people complaining about the deer eating their gardens and shrubs, or causing damage to their vehicles because they were driving too fast in designated deer crossings and collide with a deer running across the road?
#11 Aug 24, 2009
Do you people ever look outside? There are deer EVERYWHERE! I once took a drive around Indian Hills and counted FIFTY deer within half an hour. That's an insane population for such a small area. I challenge anyone to go to the heart of the Gila Wilderness and find 50 deer so closely packed together. It's not the homes being built out that way, its the people inviting the deer in. I've lived here all my life. I used to go months without seeing deer on Little Walnut Rd. despite my friends living all along there. Now I can't go minutes without seeing deer. Stop feeding the deer. It's for their own good.
#12 Aug 24, 2009
I read in the Sun-News this morning that Game and Fish is holding a public meeting this Wednesday night at 7 pm at the National Guard Armory. If you have an opinion on the deer issue, one way or another, go to the meeting and express it!
#13 Aug 24, 2009
If Game & Fish plan to have these meetings, why isn't Game & Fish making the announcement rather than one of our council people??? I think the City Council needs to deal with City level problems and let the State do their job. Silver City has a serious crime problem that I think the City has failed to control. As for feeding the deer, Texas feed stores actually sell Deer Corn as it is marked. Deer love the grain in oat pastures there. Deer feeders are big business. The problem is urban sprawl and growth just like any other growing area. Not anything new and certainly not news. If residents don't like it, put up a fence or move away.
#14 Aug 25, 2009
True, Texas feed stores sell deer feed. Texas (among other places) has "hunters" who use these deer feeders to lure deer onto property so they can make and sell "hunting" videos. They get the deer accustomed to a daily meal and shoot them as they make their daily trek to the feed stand. Wild animals shouldn't be fed by humans. I would trust the word of most biologists on this issue over any feed store owner, or random "deer lover" who does more harm than good.
#15 Aug 25, 2009
Also, Silver City does have a crime problem. It always has and other communities of similar size in the area have an even worse problem with crime. It is more a problem of the sub groups of people who live here than it is anything law enforcement is or is not doing. There is a high incidence of drug users, alcoholics, and poverty stricken people in these areas. Most police officers do their job and also volunteer in the community. Most other capable people complain and keep their noses out of the community projects. What can you and I do to change that?
#16 Aug 25, 2009
To spare myself the time of trying to explain all of the reasons that I COMPLETELY disagree with the feeding of wildlife, I will make it short. In response the Mr. May's comment that he DID NOT BELIEVE that feeding these deer a diet of foods that are foreign to them could possibly cause any issues at all?? He has obviously never spent any time around horses, cows, or any other hooved animal. COLIC (look it up in the dictionary) is the number one killer of horses, cows, and yes, potentially deer!! It is caused specifically by what you are doing!! And so while you may not see that animal drop dead right there in your yard...out of sight out of mind I suppose. Maybe you would rather see them dead on the side of the road they were attempting to cross in order to get to that big feeder in your front yard!
#17 Aug 25, 2009
When I lived in Silver City, one thing I loved the most was seeing so many deer, javalina and even the occassional coyote. Sure, predators following the deer are always a big concern, but the greater danger is the likelihood of a deer-vs.-motorist collision. such accidents are more likely to occur in neighborhoods where people are feeding the deer.
Even without putting out food for deer, we still saw plenty of them.
#18 Aug 25, 2009
Have you ever heard of innerbreading? That is what can happen to the deer heards if they are not controlled in size. The weaker deer will continue to bread a weaker deer. It is for their sake that a need to control the size of the heards is needed. You will get a much healthyer deer that way. The deer are nice to see but not when they are in such an abundance. If the deer had not been feed then the heards would not be as big and you would not have a problem. If you don't want people to move into the deer habitate then do not allow homes to be built there. Please don't feed the deer it is not good for their heards and the yards of the people that have been, including you, allowed to move there.
#19 Aug 26, 2009
Deer feeding and deer baiting, as practiced in Texas, only invite the inevitable collision and its disastrous effects to both the deer and property owners, and drivers as well.
United States
#20 Aug 26, 2009
Let me 1st say that I am a supporter of hunting, fishing, the right to own guns, and I am no tree hugger by any means. With that said I would also like to say that I agree with Mr. May, the people who have been inconvienced by these wild animals should have considered the possibility of the inconvience before buying property in "deer country" These animals in case every one hasn't noticed where here first. I personally feel that this is just another way for Game and Fish to make more money. Why you ask? Ok, so you are out hunting, paid for your license to hunt, have a legal fire arm, you are hunting in the area specified on your license and you see what you think is a four point, you aim, you shoot, you just killed a doe standing in a bush. You would think ok honest mistake, and move on, oh no!!! Big fine, loose your gun, your truck or horse is impounded, and you loose your right to hunt, so why give them the "right" to go out and do it now?...... Oh, that's right because they are goign to charge for the special licence,the special training for hunting intown and anything else they think they can scrape you pockets for.Why else would they agree to let these deer be hunted over a few cry babies who have lost a couple of plants and are pissed that deer ate them when they planted them in......let me get this right..... IN deer country, or maybe they hit a deer in the road, that's right idiot you hit the deer he didn't come running out of a bush and bash your car while it was parked somewhere, you hit it..... where did you hit a deer while driving your car?.....Oh yeah that's right......IN deer country. Maybe having them around closer to town is what really has them worried. I mean heck small pets or a child could be attacked or maybe even killed. So I will ask one more question, you want to kill up to 200 deer which takes them off the mountain lions menu? This will then make them more desperate for food, which puts who at the top of the menu?......That's right you are catching on Fido and little Timmy Taylor. So really folks, come on these deer eat a few plants, damage a few cars, or eat grain and die from full stomachs, or even if one is in your back yard and a big cat grabs it and ate it for lunch considering the alternative is it really that bad? I mean we don't go out shooting drunk drivers who kill more people damage more vehicles, and cost the state more money than some four legged animal ever has or ever will so why are we going to go out and shoot the deer? Especially right now, give out more licenses this year during deer season, allow some does to be killed then! I mean killing deer is killing deer. is it really going to matter to you if you kill a doe during deer season who leaves a baby behind? Seriously, it's one less that will reproduce. These deer should be hunted in the same manner as other, during hunting season out away from town in the original designated hunting areas. Ask yourself if one of these so called sharp shooters, misses and let me reassure all of you, all of them do at some point in their life. If he/she misses and kills your child or pet or injures them in anyways because they are hunting in town, will it matter to you how many "hits" or "kills" they had before they missed and hurt, maimed or killed something you love? I think the Game and Fish need to look at other options, let the people who care for and feed the deer keep doing what they are doing. The people who are loosing thier beautiful plants and vegetation should invest in hot wire or deer repellent. Game and Fish should have bigger less expiencive and complicated hunts to control the population, during deer season.
#21 Aug 27, 2009
Councilor May:
As I understand it, it was not the man who was killed who was feeding the mountain lions. It was one of his neighbors. Maybe someone who "took pity" on the poor lions, thus habituating them to seeing humans as a food source.
I am puzzled by your request for public input on this matter, since you have made it clear you will dismiss any opinions on the matter that differ from your own, even to the point of rejecting out of hand advice of the State Game and Fish Department.

The Water Pig is recognizable by its barrel-shaped torso, enormous mouth and teeth, nearly hairless body, stubby legs and tremendous size. Usually a bitter person who is divorced and living with a skinny ass sick person who likes to screw the wet spot. Despite its stocky shape and short legs, it can easily outrun a normal child or chase and ex-husband/wife down. Water Hogs have been clocked running at 30 km/h (19 mph) causing earth quakes of a magnitude of 6.6. They usually drive old sub-compact cars, vans, or land yauts.
Many that women is huge! You havn't seen nothing. I use to be married to that Water Hog. She's been known to run my truck off the road on foot.

It's almost 50 years since the death of Dale Carnegie, author of the bestseller, How To Win Friends and Influence People, which introduced millions to the art of negotiation and persuasion. As I read the news of gay activist Peter Tatchell's latest publicity stunt, I felt it was time someone sent him a copy.
Tatchell and his pressure group Outrage! are furious because reggae artists Elephant Man and Vybz Kartel have just been nominated in this year's Music of Black Origin awards. And they've every right to be: songs by these two acts contain lyrics which are violently anti-gay and which any right-minded person could only condemn. And you can add to that the fact that Buju Banton - who a decade ago rapped that gays should be shot dead - was sought in connection with a gay-bashing incident last month, and that Brian Williamson, Jamaica's most prominent gay activist, was brutally stabbed to death in June (though the motives are as yet unclear).
The problem is, though, that if Tatchell wants to persuade these artists' fans to reject the homophobia of the Jamaican ghetto, he's using the wrong tactics entirely.
Tatchell has waded in with a call to boycott the Mobos, and for the BBC to pull the plug on screening it - effectively a demand to put Britain's biggest black awards ceremony out of business. And this is not the first time he's acted this way. Previously he's called for other Jamaican reggae artists to be banned from Britain or face criminal charges.
But the Mobos, and its voting academy of DJs, promoters and record industry insiders, are merely reflecting the fact that these acts are very popular; and in any case their audiences are far more interested in the bass, the beat and the rhythm than they are in the content of the lyrics.
What Tatchell doesn't understand is that music is very important to black people. Not just in that it's something we like to listen to, but that traditionally, along with sport, it's been the only way for most of us to rise out of inner-city poverty. When Tatchell tries to drive our musicians out of business, he's cutting off our escape route. He will get a very negative reaction.
It's easy to vilify artists who for the most part are picked up then spat out by the industry, often ending their years in the poverty from which they came. But it's a fruitless exercise, because their fans are likely to resent the attack and to jump to their heroes' defence.
Tatchell's motives are already being called into question. Following his most prominent recent campaigns, against Robert Mugabe and the Muslim cleric Sheikh al-Qaradawi, some are beginning to ask what he's got against people of colour. Tatchell argued recently that the Mugabe regime was "worse than apartheid", an astonishing denial of one of the world's worst-ever suppression machines. And he had the cheek last month to accuse the Jamaican prime minister of having a "slave mentality". Yes, massa.
Whether it's Africa, the Caribbean or the Middle East, it is undeniable that many cultures are more conservative than those of western Europe. Many of these views have their breeding ground in poverty and lack of opportunity (Tatchell could also try talking to Britain's own working classes to see how right-on they are).
And before condemning other parts of the world, and their people, Tatchell should recognise that Europe has hardly been the most tolerant place - even if we put to one side the Holocaust, slavery and global plundering, we should not forget that women's rights and gay rights are a relatively recent gain. Change, when it has come, has been gradual, and powered internally, not handed down by diktat by some outside force.
Tatchell's heavy-handedness will not win anyone over. There certainly are times when strong-arm tactics are required in the battle for justice; but dealing with marginalised minorities is not the same as dealing with governments or powerful institutions. Instead of seeing a sympathetic figure trying to engage with them, black people see only a white man acting like a modern-day missionary, trying to impose his views.
If nothing else, this proves the folly of the government's plan to abolish the Commission for Racial Equality and pull all equality bodies together into a single commission dealing with race, gender, disability, sexuality, age and religion. So what would happen if a gay man accused a black man of homophobia, who then countered with a racism charge? Who would decide the outcome, given that one body was supposed to represent both sides? If the commission chief was black, or gay, who could have faith in justice being done?
The frustrating thing about the music issue is that gays and black people (and women, too) have genuine common cause here. Many of us despise the massive investment and promotion of gangsta rap by the record industry. Its lyrics and imagery promote violence, misogyny, and an extreme machismo which has spread like a cancer among black youngsters and is now infecting white youths, too. Why does Tatchell not turn his fire on those institutions whose executives are getting fatter on the misery they churn out to the masses? They give little thought to what is and isn't acceptable, happily exploiting and re-marketing the most deviant unsociable aspects of society. Yes, everyone wants to be "ghetto fabulous", but where these people live there are no drive-by shootings or drug dealers on the corner.
It used to be that our music artists represented the whole spectrum of black society. To get a record deal now, young black kids have to prove they're from the "street", most shamelessly encapsulated in the artist 50 Cent, promoted as the man who'd been shot nine times and survived. It certainly worked - but what message does this send out to the ghettoes?
Were Tatchell to storm the record industry's gleaming towers, rather than targeting those at the bottom of the pile, there'd be many people prepared to stand by his side.

IBM Rolls Out New Networking Chip
IBM says PowerPRS 64Gu packet routing switch is more compact and uses less power than do similar chip sets.IBM today announced a new networking chip focused on providing increased performance in a compact design with low power usage. The PowerPRS 64Gu packet routing switch, set to be widely available in October, allows networking gear makers to build high-bandwidth applications in a smaller switch fabric board form factor and to expand to higher aggregate throughput and number of ports without replacing entire systems, IBM officials said. The PowerPRS 64G can support the development of single-stage switch fabrics with as many as 32 ports for OC48c and multiple Gigabit Ethernet applications or as many as 8 ports for 10 Gigabit Ethernet and OC192c applications.
The new chip set, when combined with the new IBM PowerPRS C48 switch fabric interface or existing PowerPRS C192 switch fabric interface, is aimed at a wide range of networking applications, such as enterprise, WAN edge, Web content routers, SANs, multiservice backbone switches and mobile base stations, IBM officials said.

Promoter/rap star Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson started off slowly in the promotional game.
The first fight he was involved in was when he made a deal with Top Rank to put his top fighter, Yuriorkis Gamboa, on the HBO PPV undercard of Juan Manuel Marquez-Manny Pacquiao IV last December.
For his second foray, Fiddy's SMS Promotions teamed up with promoter Lou DiBella to put on an ESPN2 "Friday Night Fights" card on March 1. But it was really DiBella's staff that did the heavy lifting for that event in which Billy Dib, one of Jackson's fighters, lost a split decision and his featherweight world title to Evgeny Gradovich in the main event at the Foxwoods resort in Mashantucket, Conn.
And last Saturday, he had Gamboa on an HBO card in Montreal promoted by Yvon Michel and Gary Shaw.
Now with a little experience under his belt, Jackson is promoting his first card solo-style, another "FNF" show, which takes place July 5 at the Connecticut Convention Center in Hartford, Conn.
Jackson was in Hartford on Wednesday for a news conference to announce the card.
Dib originally was going to headline the card, but when a main event-worthy opponent could not be lined up, Jackson made a deal to bring in the fight between light heavyweight Eleider Alvarez (12-0, 8 KOs), a 2008 Colombian Olympian living in Montreal, and Tulsa, Okla., native Allan Green (32-4, 22 KOs), who participated in the Super Six World Boxing Classic super middleweight tournament.
Alvarez-Green was originally supposed to be on the May 25 Jean Pascal-Lucian Bute undercard in Montreal. When Bute got hurt and the show was postponed, promoter Yvon Michel shifted the fight to last Saturday's Adonis Stevenson-Chad Dawson undercard. But it was pulled off that show for various reasons and ultimately, a deal was made with Jackson to have the fight headline the ESPN2 card.
Australia's Dib (35-2, 21 KOs) will also be on the card in a non-title bout in the co-feature against Mike Oliver (25-3, 8 KOs) of Hartford. Dib has a rematch clause with Gradovich and if Dib beats Oliver and Gradovich retains his title against Mauricio Munoz on July 27 in Macau, the rematch is expected to follow.
"I'm excited because this is the first show put together by SMS Promotions," Jackson said. "It's been a learning experience. We've been part of shows but never did the promotional job. I'm not far from home in Farmington [Conn.]. We've put together a real event with some of the best fighters in the world, good prospects and some local fighters. We're creating a platform for fighters to progress and I want to be part of it. Overall, it's a great opportunity to do things a little differently. I've associated myself with some big name fighters.
"The Hartford area has a long boxing history with Hall of Famer Willie Pep and other world champions and top contenders [and champions] like Battling Battalino, Marlon Starling [who was in attendance at the news conference], Kid Kaplan, Tyrone Booze and 'Iceman' John Scully."
Jackson will also have three of his other fighters on the card, lightweight prospect Mark Davis (16-0, 5 KOs), a former two-time U.S. national amateur champion, junior welterweight Luis Olivares (3-0, 2 KOs) and junior welterweight Donte Strayhorn (1-0, 0 KOs).
Oliver hasn't fought since being knocked out in the second round by former featherweight titlist Juan Manuel Lopez in October 2011 and is in a tough fight against Dib.
"I haven't fought in over a year, but I'm back," Oliver said. "My last fight was against 'Juanma,' but that was in Puerto Rico and this fight is in my hometown, Hartford. I know you don't believe me 50, but I'm going to beat your guy."

SXSW Aftermath: Shaking Off Winter With Vivian Girls, Broken Records, husband & wife And Duchess Says
Vivian Girls
Photos by Adam P. Newton
Much like ACL 2009 will be remembered as the "Rain and Shit-Mud Year," Saturday at SXSW 2010 is sure to be marked as the day when Winter decided to spit on Austin in the middle of March. As opposed to the blue skies and nice breezes that we enjoyed earlier in the week, we're not sure that temperatures ever creeped above 45 degrees all day long, and the 20-plus mph winds didn't help matters much.
That being said, Aftermath still found a way to enjoy a solid slate of bands throughout the day, simply by finding decent lineups at a couple of good parties and remaining out of the cold as much as possible.
A Snow Patrol with teeth: Scotland's Broken Records
Highlights included seeing Vivian Girls play an intimate, stripped-down set for about 45 people at Cheer Up Charlie's, enjoying the multilayered Scottish rock of Broken Records (as in a rollicking Snow Patrol with teeth), watching husband & wife spread its formerly wispy indie-pop wings into full-blown Midwestern rock at Shakespeare's, and having the overactive electroclash of Duchess Says rock our socks off once again.
Yeah, we were cold; yeah, it was kinda miserable at times, but damned if a great slate of music can't defeat the elements.

The author is a Forbes contributor. The opinions expressed are those of the writer.
Pandora Media recently raised the monthly price of its Pandora One service by $1 to $4.99, making it the first price revision since the service's launch in 2009. The revised pricing will apply to new subscribers, and the existing monthly subscribers will experience no change at this point. In addition to this, the company is also ending the annual subscription option and will transfer its annual subscribers to a monthly price of $3.99 at their next renewal period. This new discounted price is still higher than what these subscribers were paying earlier ($36 a year or $3 per month). Overall, it appears that the price hike will have moderate impact this year. Subscriber ARPU (average revenue per user) will definitely go up meaningfully next year as most subscribers migrate to the new pricing structure. This move, assuming it doesn't adversely impact future subscriber additions, can lead to an upside of over 10% to our current price estimate.
Our current price estimate for Pandora stands at $24, implying a discount of about 20% to the market price.
See our complete analysis for Pandora Media
Incremental Profits From Price Hike
The price increase will directly flow down to Pandora's bottom line. Currently the company has about 3.3 million paying subscribers, which represents a small fraction of its overall user base. If the price increase of $1 were to be rolled out to all subscribers immediately, it will result in incremental revenues of close to $40 million. This will lead to cash flows jumping by a similar amount. This is a huge improvement considering that the operating cash flow was negative in 2013, according to our calculations. Going forward, these incremental revenues will see strong growth as we expect Pandora to continue gaining subscribers rapidly. The move comes as the company continues to battle rising royalty costs. Pandora states that its royalty rates have increased by 53% in the last five years and will go up by another 9% in 2015. Raising subscription rates alone will not suffice as 95% of Pandora's users are on free ad-supported service. However, the company hasn't done too bad on that front either.
Improving Ad Monetization Is Key To Battling Increasing Royalty Rates
For the stub period of November and December, Pandora's overall RPM (revenue per 1,000 listener hours) stood at $44.71, which is an all-time high. (A fiscal year-end change from January to December produced the stub.) The figure benefited from seasonal strength due to the exclusion of January results, when ad spending tends to go down. Ad RPM and total RPM for mobile and other connected devices reached $36.38 and $40.14, respectively, again an all-time record. Given that Pandora pays royalty costs to record labels and artists based on the number of songs played and not the revenue earned, any improvement in monetization (revenue per song) is going to add to the margins. The company has been ramping up its sales force to sell more mobile ad inventory slots to advertisers who are directing some ad budget to Pandora because of its local appeal and targeting ability. The additional selling and marketing costs have offset the margin growth to some extent.
The business now seems sustainable as the company expects to generate profits for the full-year 2014 despite expecting some loss in the first quarter. It is a pleasant development, and Pandora could use its cash flows to fund overseas expansion in the longer run.

i havent touched TA in awhile as i found it too empty compared to WoT (which i have played off and on since CB 3/4) but i figured i would pop on their forums and see if they had improved it enough to give me a bit better enjoyment out of it (while it was fun when i played i just got kinda bored waiting/hoping for a match)
going to the "play now" loads up their flight game and they no longer even list TA on their game(s) list.. so has anyone kept up enough on this game to know what happened to it??
did they cancel the game? or just pull it down for a overhaul or what?? they have no forums or game portal for it anymore so im kinda wondering..
the game was fun but wasnt That fun.. just lacking alot of stuff to make it more enjoyable, kinda of sad if they cancelled it.
yes, the game got the boot.

I got this dress custom fit and it is absolutely beautiful!!! It fits very well and is exactly what is pictured here. I was skeptical at first due to some bad reviews on other items, but I was pleasantly surprised! I am going to feel gorgeous on my wedding day. Thank you JJ's House!!!!
I am absolutely in love with this dress! What color is this dress pictured in - white or ivory? I cannot tell the difference myself.
I have this picture in my head, and I was wondering if the dress could be made with a mixture of black and lavender beading, embroidery, and lacework? My birthstone is Amethyst and I plan on having lavender/amethyst jewelry, so I would like to have as close of a match to that color purple, and I believe lavender would be the nearest match.
If this is possible, could you please email me close up pictures of what the dress would look like with the black/lavender mixture?
Also, are the straps removable, or does the gown have to be ordered either with straps or strapless?
I plan on getting married in October.

Hi Amy,
Thank you for your timely reply.
The beading of this dress is on the lace part of it , surely, we can make the beading white.
As the dress is a new arrival, we don't have pictures of it now.Normally we need 20-25 days to make the dress and another 3-6 days to ship it to you based on expedited shipping.
So, we hope you can place your order as soon as possible.
Please kindly let us know if there is anything we can do for you.
Does this dress just come in the black or red beading?
