Skip to comments.Mugabe rival quits election race (Mugabe thugs break up opposition rally)
Posted on 06/22/2008 6:41:07 AM PDT by Nextrush
Zimbabwe's opposition leader Morgan Tsvangirai says he is pulling out of Friday's presidential run-off, handing victory to President Robert Mugabe.
Mr. Tsvangrai said there was no point running when elections would not be free and fair and and "the outcome is determined by... Mugabe himself."
He called on the global community to step in to protect Zimbabweans.
The decision came after opposition supporters heading to a rally in the capital Harare came under attack.
The MDC says at least 70 supporters have been killed in recent months.
At a press conference Sunday, mr Tsvangirai said: "It is for the world to see there is no need to proceed with this so-called election if the outcome is determined by President Mugabe himself,"
"We will not play the game of Mugabe."
On Sunday, the opposition was due to stage a rally in the capital-the highlight of the campaign.
But supporters of Mr. Mugabe's Zanu-PF occupied the stadium venue and roads leading up to it.
Witnesses reported seeing hundreds of youths around the venue wielding sticks, some chanting slogans, and others circling the stadium crammed onto the backs of trucks.
They reportedly set upon opposition activists, leaving a number badly injured.
The MDC said African election monitors were also chased from the rally site.....

Today Mugabe's brownshirts came out and did their brutal best again.
Western leaders say Africa needs "to take the lead" in fixing it.
Mbeki of South Africa has been the chief enabler of Mugabe and shows no signs publicly of backing away from Mugabe.
When will this travesty end?????????
When someone takes over for them. They can't govern themselves. Smart move by the opposition leader. Why get killed for a sham election. He doesn't need votes. He needs an army.
Mr. Tsvangrai said there was no point running when elections would not be free and fair and and "the outcome is determined by... Mugabe himself."
This now leaves the door open for Jimmy Carter to certify the election as fair and democratic.
When these guys are called in...
(Blackwater USA. Please pick up the white courtesy phone)
Call Jimmah Carter, call Andrew Young, call the United Nations.
He may have to wait for the turmoil to subside a little, but Jimmy should soon be able to get in there and declare the elections free and open, and mugabe the winner. Then the rape and pillage of Zimbabwe can continue peacefully, and unabated.
Call Pizza Hut...which would be about as effective as the others.
I'm inclined to agree, but it would be "racist" and "colonialist" and god (Karl Marx) forbid that.
When will this travesty end?????????
When someone takes over for them. They can't govern themselves. Smart move by the opposition leader. Why get killed for a sham election. He doesn't need votes. He needs an army
Well, we tried for the same outcome in Iraq and the world thinks the US is thugs. I will never understand the logic of thinking the dictator that rules by thugrule is more heralded than a nation that sacrifices to free the people from said thug dictatorship.
Perhaps Charlize Theron could get her close friend Mandela in there to straighten this mess out. Just saw a clip on TV of her telling him (Mandela) how much she loves him.
It won't end.
In Africa, as in no other place on earth, there is no room for American intervention.
Neither the Dutch nor the Brits would be willing to go back to the area after the world wide 'anti-aparthied' campaigns [fully supported by past US administrations].
African states don't take action over simple matters such as starving or just murdering an entire population.
Nobody is going to provide arms to an opposition that wouldn't be able to put them to effective use if they had them.
And, SA is currently acting against refugees from Zim - not against the thugs causing the exodus.
The only end to this will come when Mugabe and his 'veterans' find there are no more sources of the food and goods they have been taking for themselves.
Too bad we won't be seeing Hollywood and NYC liberals protesting in the streets to demand that Mugabe step down and respect the vote of the people...
...and no one will be wearing Tsvingari t-shirts, either.
The Marxist Hollywood crowd wouldn't dream of it.
Volvo driving, SUV owning hypocrites.
Entertainers wanted, intelligence not required.
The Western media shouldnt even bother reporting on it. All that does is arouse our feelings of horror, and the instinctive need to do something, anything--but everything has been tried before, and failed. Everything, of course, except self-reliance.
Can Mugabe recall the mobs ? Is he still the puppetmaster or will it go on until he himself is overthrown by the army with the excuse of restoring order ?
That's why China will do the colonial intervention this time. This will be lauded as "one developing nation helping another."
"Can Mugabe recall the mobs ? Is he still the puppetmaster or will it go on until he himself is overthrown by the army with the excuse of restoring order ?"
From the looks of it, Mugabe is going to remain in power until he's either assassinated, or dies of old age.
"That's why China will do the colonial intervention this time. This will be lauded as "one developing nation helping another."
Hmmm...a possible quagmire for China? Especially if rising fuel costs cause a sharp decrease in trade with the US. I'd be interesting to see them have to spend considerably more for oil, while getting less money from the US, and spending considerable resources fighting in Africa.
"maybe "Executive Outcomes" could make a reunion tour... "
That would be nice. Though even the E.O. also was a double-edged sword in a way. Got used to assist the communist MPLA in Angola for the benefit of the oil interests.
No worries. If Obama wins the US Presidential election, I'm sure that he'll say something clever that will cause Mugabe to "see the light" and retire to the south of France/s
"A'm Jimmuh Carter, and Ah approved this almost election."
it'd make a great Tee-Shirt:
Executive Outcomes
08 Reunion Tour
with their current release
Settling Old Scores
We're Only in it for the Money!!!
Hollywood is not all bad.
Mia Farrow is continually writing op-eds in the Wall Street Journal about conditions in Darfur ... You can read one such recent article at http://www.miafarrow.org/editorials.html
They have it half right in Darfur at best.
They have identified a problem.
But are they willing to support solutions including a real anti-China attitude.
Since China has veto power in the UN, its obvious that real military action to clean up Darfur is impossible.
If I had the money like Hollywood, I would hire mercenaries to go in and start raising hell with the bad guys.
It looks like Chad is doing this right now with its rebels and Sudan responds by backing Chad rebels.
UN, schmoo N.
Humanism is powerless in the face of evil.
When will it end?
When Mugabe is killed, and every one of his supporters is killed.
The third nuclear device is used to eradicate populations.
This is further evidence of the failure of the "United Nations" and the false belief that Africans are capable of a non-corrupt and non-murderous self governed democracy....
Enough money has been poured into Africa to have rebuilt the infrastructure of almost any modern nation..
Yet in Africa - is has been siphoned off into secret bank accounts or poured down a black hole in Africa...
Further activity in Africa would prove the insanity of the proponents...
A sure sign of insanity is to continue a failed action and expect a different result.
Black Ops is the answer.
I'm sure they are poping champagne over at the UN this evening. Another victory for them on the world stage. Up next will be Mugabe given a seat on the UN human rights council.
I like your tag line.
Wonder what B Hussein Obamo, the haffrican would do.
Hollywood only gets vocal about something when it falls into their extremely narrow vision on humanitarian issues.
Tibet, Sudan. Thats about it. And it only happens when its what appears as whites opressing minorities or some estabished government vs. hippie pacifist types.
They believe the only time the US military should get involved is when its humanitarian missions and simply to act as peace keepers. No firing of weapons allowed. They always expect that acting like some hippie between two armed forces spouting, "Hey man, won't you like just give peace a chance?" will fix it.
They will get dead silent on issues like Zimbabwe, Rwanda, treatment of minority religions and women in islamic countries, simply because they know the only solution to the problem is use of force which they no intestinal fortitude to handle.
Mr. Tsvangrai said there was no point running when elections would not be free and fair and and "the outcome is determined by... Mugabe himself." He called on the global community to step in to protect Zimbabweans.Mugabe couldn't stay on top without being a client / proxy of the South African regime.
The "global community" is why Zimbabwe is in the shape it is now. They weren't satisfied to allow the whites who built the country run it. No, they had to endorse a crooked strong man because he was black. Well, tough nuggets. You got EXACTLY what you deserve.
Zimbabwe is "Atlas Shrugged" on a country wide scale.
Mugabe's General will take firm control when he dies. There is likely no hope. I say that as someone who has long hoped for improvement in Burma after 80% of the people voted those thugs out - when was that, 1990?
Except nobody is hanging out in the wings waiting to restore anything.
They're on their own and the only cheering section is calling for failure.
De-colonization in Africa was such a good idea, ay. Ending the evils of Rhodesia and apartheid South Africa worked a real treat. We sure showed 'em how it's done. And all that famine relief in Ethiopia and Somalia: we Live Aided 'em good...
I think we in the West ought to leave Africa alone for a while: post-WW-II our judgment in what is best for that continent seems questionable at best: dodgy at least.
One thing that doesn't help is their strong voice in the UN: that should cease immediately.
That won't work. If Mugabe is removed there will simply be a power struggle between the various factions, maybe even as far as civil war, before someone else equally as corrupt and vicious emerges as the new leader.
I would like nothing better than to sort Mugabe and his clique out, but that won't work either. How on earth can there be military intervention in Zimbabwe? There are no bases within thousands of miles. How would we get an army there? It's a land-locked country - we couldn't do a d-day type landing on the beaches. We'd need permission from one or more of the neighboring countries to move troops through them. That would take weeks to do, even if we could get them to agree to it. Mugabe would have all the time in the world to prepare, both his army and to yell "neo-colonialism" at the top of his voice, and there's plenty of fools who would believe him. If we couldnt get permission to move through Botswana or Mozambique or wherever, it would have to be done by paratroops - the initial attacks would have to be anyway. But that would mean having to move all the troops, all their reinforcements, arms, ammunition, fuel, supplies by air, over thousands of miles. And we'd have to get permission to overfly half a dozen countries airspace. Supposing they refused? Supposing they agreed, but then, under pressure from Mugabe or the OAC, withdrew their permission half way through the operation? We could end up with a battlegroup stranded in the middle of Africa. It doesn't bear thinking of.
The only ending I can see to this is if things continue to deteriorate in Zimbabwe, eventually folk will vote with their feet and leave. Once the problem begins to be exported to the neighboring nations, then they will have to take action.
De-colonialisation was their idea, not ours. It worked ok in Singapore and Hong Kong and Malaysia.
If Africa is screwed up, ok the west has to shoulder some of the blame, but the main problem lies with Africans themselves.
> De-colonialisation was their idea, not ours.
We certainly lent them alot of help in overthrowing the governments in Rhodesia and South Africa, thru trade embargoes and incredible international pressure.
Apartheid was replaced in South Africa at the insistence of the West. And white-only rule in Rhodesia, similarly. What replaced them was much worse, as we have now seen.
> It worked ok in Singapore and Hong Kong and Malaysia.
It did.
> If Africa is screwed up, ok the west has to shoulder some of the blame, but the main problem lies with Africans themselves.
I think the West shoulders most of the blame: we carved up Africa in a manner that made sense to us, ignoring their tribal political realities. And we got out of there without paying alot of attention to how we make sure that we leave behind stable governments with strong ties back to the "mother country".
Of the lot, France did it best, and Belgium did it the worst, and Britain did a poor job. Nobody did it brilliantly.
Even New Zealand, Australia and Canada went thru a middle phase, when they were no longer "colonies" yet were not fully and functionally "independent" — that seemed to work well. We were "dominions", and one-by-one our ties to the mother country were removed, when-and-as we became ready. It is a step that Africa, for the most part, missed.
I dunno how (if?) the West can fix what is there in Africa now, but I suspect it would be a thankless, dangerous and difficult task.
Seems to be the Pan-African way... Thugism or Communism. Then when it all goes to sht... they blame it on white-colonialism. When a country rich in recources can't feed its people because of a corrupt, jackbooted thug... the first line of business is to eliminate the thug and the swine who back him.
Should the thug have sufficient numbers to set off a civil war... then so be it.
With inflation running at over 1 million percent and the murder of political rivals' families most would say that it is already a complete failure. However, the "global community" doesn't want to hear the solution, return to rule by those most capable, i.e. the white settlers.

Village chief, companion shot dead in Masbate
MANILA, Philippines—A village chief and his companion were killed when they were gunned down in Masbate Monday midnight, police said.
Police superintendent Renato Bataller, Bicol regional police spokesman, identified the victims as Roman Toñacao, a village captain of Barangay (village) Mahayahay, Cawayan in Masbate, and his companion Edison Tarucan of Barangay (village) Begia, also in Cawayan.
Bataller said authorities are now on the lookout against suspect Dario Pepito of Cebu City, who allegedly shot the victims on Gomez Street in Divisoria village, Cawayan around 12 midnight using a suspected .45-caliber handgun.
Tarucan died on the spot, while Toñacao was rushed to the Cawayan District Hospital, but was, however, declared dead on arrival, Battaler said.
He added the suspect was able to escape after the incident.
Recovered from the crime scene were two deformed slugs and six empty shells from a .45- caliber, Battaler said.

Jul 2, 2008Google have recently announced that they have improved their algorithm for crawling flash content on websites.
I'd expect this would be a welcome change for many web developers, but I'm going to hold off on the excitement for a few reasons.
Flash as a page elementI have always supported using flash as a page element, rather than as the 'meat and potatoes' of a website. The reasoning behind this is simple - flash breaks browser functionality, and that will piss off all but your most technically-illiterate users.
Flash will do all kinds of nasty things when you use it for the main content.
- No copy-paste of text (this isn't always the case)
- No right-click 'save target as' for images
- No 'open this link in new tab / window'
- No statusbar text showing where a link will lead
- No title text on links unless specifically put there by the author
- No standard browser scrollbar mechanisms, often no mousewheel support either
This all seems really bad, and it is, but most of these things aren't an issue when you use flash as a page element - a header banner, an advertisement, an image rotation or an interactive page element - all great stuff. Make sure your body content is in regular HTML, and also the main navigation, and then spice up the non-content areas of the page with some flash.
For accessibility reasons, it's nice to offer non-flash content to browsers without flash. And with swfobject, this process is very easy. Rather than telling the non-flash user to run off and get flash before they can view your site, you show them a static image instead of an animated banner, and the user can still enjoy the site without even realising they are missing out on something.
Which brings me to the main pointSo, now that Google can index flash files better, this doesn't mean we should start developing complete sites in flash. Nothing changes - in almost all cases, flash is still best used as a page element - for usability reasons and accessibility reasons.
Google indexing flash files better will be a very welcome change for those who already own a flash website and aren't enthused by their current indexing, I'm sure.
So as I'm writing this post......it seems I'm not alone. Have a read of the comments on Google's official blog, and you can see some reasonably good questions and points being raised.
- Google, don't encourage people to start doing splash pages again.
- Google, what about W3C, usability, accessibility (basically my objection above).
- Google, we have been using flash to hide our low quality content from you, what now?
- Google, we don't want the word "loading" to be all over our indexed content, and we don't want to replace plain text with images as you recommend.
- Another user points out what happens when doing a Google search for loading filetype:swf
- Lots of complaints about Google being vague on details (nothing new here).
- One commenter asks, will this cause a black hat revolution in 1 pixel flash files jam packed with text content, now Google-readable?
- Good developers have already made sure their sites have text-only representations of their flash content - how do they 'opt out' of this new indexing?
- Can we expect a big shift in search results as all these flash sites start appearing in the index?
- Some good questions regarding content in XML - XML is meaningless when it's read out of context - the application (eg flash) needs to import the data before it becomes meaningful. Google says they don't import XML content and will index that separately (meaning it will be indexed without context)
So while this seems like a welcome addition to the feature set of Googlebot, it really does open up a large can of worms. No doubt, indexing SWF files is hugely complicated, and this is early stages - but Google's inability to determine 'content' text from 'fluff' text in the SWF is a big issue, and could definitely contaminate search results and cause headaches for developers. Combined with the dumbed-down explanation of how Google is indexing flash, developers are left with more questions than answers.
Best practiceBest practice web development for flash websites means providing alternative content to non-flash users, which in the past includes Google. Usually this is done using swfobject, or a similar mechanism.
Has this change just given developers one less reason to 'do things properly'? I can see developers getting to the end of the project and saying "Argh, now that Google can index flash files, there's no need to provide a plain text alternative".

Men's soccer
Akron won another at home Sunday afternoon, beating Bowling Green 3-0. I wonder if the Falcons would consider an Omar Jacobs for Ross McKenzie swap. In the end, it wouldn't make sense for us. Bowling Green's star quarterback is not going to win BG a national championship. McKenzie might do that for Akron.
Akron has two regular-season tests remaining - Northern Illinois at home Friday and Indiana at their place on Nov. 3. NIU is ranked top-20 in the nation. Indiana is the defending national champion and ranked top-15 this year. In two weeks, Akron also will host Michigan - the team that knocked the Zips out of the NCAA Tournament last year. They play three other games that don't worry me as long as they can take care of business like they did Sunday versus BG.

HP Spectre Notebook Packs Plenty of Power, Features in a Thin Design
HP Spectre Notebook Packs Plenty of Power, Features in a Thin DesignThe Spectre, which HP calls the world's thinnest laptop, is no slouch on power either. Those and other features make it an appealing option for notebook users.
It All Starts With a Thin DesignLike Apple's MacBook line, design is the HP Spectre's main attraction. The device comes with a machined aluminum chassis and carbon fiber bottom. To really make the device stand out, HP has bundled "high gloss copper accents." HP uses what it calls a "hidden piston hinge" to make it look like the clamshell notebook has no hinge. In sum, the Spectre's design is stellar.
HP Wants to Talk About PortabilityIn addition to style, HP is touting the Spectre's portability. The device weighs just 2.45 pounds, and the chassis is only 10.4mm thick, making it as thin as an AAA battery. HP claims the device is the "world's thinnest laptop" when closed, and as of this writing, that appears to be the case.
HP's Committed to Windows 10On the software side, the device will ship with Windows 10, and it doesn't appear likely that HP will offer a Windows 8.1 option as well. In fact, HP seems to have made that clear, saying, "Windows 10 is here. Do great things."
The Device Is Surprisingly RuggedAlthough the Spectre is thin and lightweight, it is also somewhat rugged. The computer comes with the aforementioned carbon fiber bottom that HP says will make it less prone to damage. In addition, Corning's Gorilla Glass, one of the leading glass-protection technologies in the world, protects the device's 13.3-inch screen. However, the computer is not classified as a "rugged" device, so despite its hardened features, it's not a good idea to test its ability to withstand drops or water intrusion.
There's a Nice Selection of PortsSince it's often difficult to a lot of ports in such a small computer, it's no surprise that HP hasn't bundled an Ethernet port or other large slots in the device. That said, the computer ships with a welcome surprise: three USB-C ports. HP says that all three ports will support charging, data transfer and external displays. In addition, two of the ports will come with Thunderbolt data transfer.
There Is Plenty of Processing PowerThe HP Spectre will ship with the customer's choice of sixth-generation Intel Core i5 or i7 processors, which should provide sufficient speed for most tasks. In addition, the Spectre features 8GB of memory and will allow for up to 512GB of storage. Given its size, only solid-state drives are available with the notebook.
The Battery Will Last All DayIt won't necessarily be an industry leader, but the Spectre's battery should get the job done. According to HP, owners should expect up to 9.5 hours of battery life on normal use. That said, HP noted that battery life could vary depending on the version customers choose.
This Is Not a HybridAs noted, the PC market is in trouble. However, one segment of the market—two-in-one hybrids—is actually performing quite well. In fact, that device type's shipments are up. As a result, several manufacturers have increased their production of hybrids featuring touch screens and reduced their notebook output. The Spectre breaks from that trend. The device is clearly a notebook and as it doesn't come with typical hybrid features, such as a touch screen.
It's Also Designed for Personal EntertainmentHP's Spectre is also designed for entertainment. The device comes with a 13.3-inch full-HD IPS display that the company says will offer a wide viewing angle. In addition, the Spectre has speakers on both sides of the keyboard that are "custom-tuned" by speaker company Bang & Olufsen. Those speakers are enhanced with HP Audio Boost, a feature that enhances clarity at high volume.
It's a Pricey MachineMake no mistake: The HP Spectre is expensive. The computer starts at $1,170, but its price can rise substantially from there if users order more storage or a better processor. HP says the notebook will be available for preorder on April 25 and will be available in stores on May 22.
HP is in the process of reinventing itself. The company has slipped to second place in the worldwide PC market, and its shipments are on the decline, according to research firm IDC. In a bid to address those troubles, HP on April 5 announced a notebook called the Spectre, the first new model to carry the newly designed HP Inc. logo. The Spectre is designed for PC buyers who want a sleek computer with high-end features. HP has dubbed the machine the "world's thinnest laptop," but it's no slouch on power with processor options that go up to the Intel Core i7 CPU with 8GB of onboard memory. The combination of features that include a trackpad, a good selection of ports and a 13-inch display makes this notebook appealing on multiple levels. But all of those high-end features ensure that the HP Spectre carries a hefty price tag. That would appear to be a risky market approach for a company that is dealing with declining PC shipments. However, for buyers who don't want to spend extra for a top-of-the line model, HP's also offering three new lower cost Envy laptop models. With the Spectre notebook, HP seeks to demonstrate that it's still a leader in PC design and can produce models that appeal to a broad range of customer needs.

Missing yellow submarine found in Watsonville
WATSONVILLE -- The 3.5-ton yellow submarine reported missing has resurfaced in Watsonville.
Carl Barker of Felton reported the sub missing from his Steinmaier Road property in the Santa Cruz Mountains on Feb. 15. It was located Wednesday.
Kevin Deetz told the Santa Cruz County Sheriff's Office he had taken the decades-old vessel to a restoration shop in Watsonville, sheriff's Detective Kevin Coyne said. Deetz, 32, said he was given the homemade sub several years ago by a former owner but never picked it up.
Last week, he hoisted the sub onto a flatbed truck and brought it to Watsonville.
"It was a misunderstanding," Coyne said. "Case closed."
Barker met with Deetz on Wednesday morning.
"It's fine. It sounds like he's going to fix it up, and I'm not going to do that," Barker said.
The 10-foot-long sub was built by Irven Thomson to patrol Monterey Bay during the 1940s and 1950s. He built the vessel from an old propane tank about 60 years ago. He added a turret, hatch, windows and a cement keel, rudder and navigational instruments.
Barker said Thomson would go on vigilante patrols of the bay and used the Santa Cruz Municipal Wharf as his home base. Neighbors said the sub worked, but that Thomson quickly gave up the patrols and beached the vessel on his land in south Felton.

Placing Bulwark on an ally under attack is a good way to regain Health.
Righteous Gust can be useful for charging opponents or escaping pursuers.
You can significantly increase the damage potential of Idol of Durand by using it when multiple enemies are close.
Avoid attacking Galio's allies while they are Bulwarked, since your attacks will be less effective and will heal Galio.
Avoid bunching up with allies when Galio is nearby.
Interrupting Galio while he channels Idol of Durand will free any allies he's taunting.

These pants do it all.
Instead of wasting precious pack space on unnecessarily specialized pants, wear the Mammut Men's Courmayeur Advanced Softshell Pants on your next alpine adventure. Capable of transitioning seamlessly from base camp to approach to ascent, the Courmayeur reflects Mammut's 150 years of technical gear design experience. Its Schoeller DrySkin Extreme softshell fabric breathes like it has lungs and dries in an instant, thanks to its 3XDry treatment. Mammut also treated the Cournayeur with Coldblack technology, which repels sunlight so even dark colors stay cool on warm days and provides a skin-saving UPF rating of 40. An integrated belt keeps your pants up above your harness, while multiple pockets throughout the pants secure anything you might need for the way up, across, and down.

3rd Generation Schoeller DrySkin
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
- Fit: Runs large
- Size Bought: Size 28
Started with a pair of MEC Ferrata climbing pants in 1st Gen Schoeller DrySkin (Lycra thread wrapped with nylon thread?) over 10 years ago. Then tried Marmot's climbing pants with Schoeller about 2 years ago. Finally tried Mammut and very surprised at how light the material feels. The progression has been reduced weight, plus new treatments/coatings. (Note: I ordered a Size 30, and wound-up returning pants for Size 28! So contrary to previous reviewer, these run large. On the other hand, Mammut Jackets tend to run athletic/small. Go figure!)
Great pants, runs small
- Familiarity: I gave it as a gift but have feedback to share
- Fit: Runs small
- Size Bought: 32
Bought these for the SO, and whoa. Way small. Can't say much on durability or performance for outdoor stuff since these were returned.
These pants run at least 1 size small compared to other Mammut pants , the SO wears a 32 in the Mammut Fiamma. He was able to get the Courmayeurs on without difficulty mostly due to the stretch factor. I'd say buy 1-2 sizes larger than your normal pant size, unless you happen to really like wearing technical pants that fit like a anorexic hipster's favorite pair of jeggings.

This review is from: Sonax TM-2800 Black 32" - 70" Low profile Wall Mount TV Bracket
Pros: inexpensive = affordable.
easy to install.
Cons: Cheap. May sound like inexpensive, it is not.
Documentation on how to use it and install seems to be close to nothing.
Other Thoughts: It keeps the TV too close to the wall and hanging by only the 2 upper screws out of 4. If you have an very old & large TV or plasma, stay away. My entry level Sony 50" LCD holds so far but I will not be surprised to see it on the floor some day.
I put the provided plastic washers (or whatever the name is in English) to keep it further away from the wall and avoid buying fancy L shaped connectors for hdmi, toslink or even coax. Without them, if your main connections are on the back, you will have big troubles connecting it to anything.
Unfortunately, in my opinion, by doing that I put more stress into the only 2 screws it holds it attached.
This review is from: Elitescreens Manual Ceiling/Wall Mount Manual Pull Down Projection Screen (99" 1:1 AR) (MaxWhite) M99UWS1
Pros: Retracting mechanism seem to work well, time will tell.
Light enough for drywall mount or, as I ended up after drywall, concrete ceiling mounted.
Great price.
Cons: not 16:9, but I knew that, my projector is not either.
Other Thoughts: Manual, that can be good or bad, in my case good. I had no will to run more cables and I am tall enough to reach it and pull it down.
Not sure about image quality, seems fairly good.
I will probably use it very rarely.
I live in a rental apartment, size is suitable, projector is at ~4 meters.
This review is from: GIGABYTE GA-970A-DS3 AM3+ AMD 970 + SB950 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX AMD Motherboard
Pros: decent connectivity and PCI slots, 32 GB support, worked out of the box with 32 GB RAM, amd 1090T
Cons: none
Other Thoughts: This is my ESXi upgrade from i Q6600 8GB RAM to AMD 1090T 32GB.
RAID controller card PERC 5i recognized on PCI Express, ESXi 5 can work with its onboard network (realtek). Don't know about onboard SATA but I guess it should work fine in ESXi. I did not try it, but it seems it supports hardware pass through as well.
I am happy, works well with what I want to do with it. I hope it will last for a long while.

How did U.S. politics reach this bizarre point, where so many are ready to vote for Donald Trump -- a situation encapsulated in a Daily News shot of Sarah Palin endorsing him, under the headline, "I'm With Stupid."
I'm not saying Trump is stupid nor is everything he expresses; his blasts against trade deals that undermine U.S. jobs are on point. Rather, it's the willingness to unconditionally embrace someone so boorish, bullying, lacking self-awareness, childishly vain and demagogic -- who says repeatedly: Don't bother thinking, I'll do it for you. (And "You'll love it.") In their dreams his Canadian analogues -- Stephen Harper, Jason Kenney, Mike Harris -- never came close.
A chunk of the answer lies in the state of public education in the U.S. and its obsession with testable, measurable skills in reading, writing and math. But isn't that what schools there were always about -- the 3Rs? No, actually. The U.S. founding fathers were offspring of the Enlightenment. They believed public schools should allow everyone, regardless of station, to learn to think well, in order to act wisely as citizens and voters. That was their aim and main "test."
An 1830 state report said poor kids needed more than "simple acquaintance with words and ciphers" -- i.e., literacy and numeracy; above all they needed what we'd today call a "citizenship agenda." A century later educational philosopher John Dewey said it was important not just to be able to read but to distinguish between "the demagogue and the statesman." Sounds vaguely useful in 2016. When did all that citizenship/thinking go out of vogue?
Recently. Mostly in the Bush and Obama years with their unholy stress on standardized tests in math and reading to the exclusion, often literally, of everything else, including phys-ed and thinking. It was the age of expanding inequality and the rise of the billionaires. They -- with Bill Gates in the lead -- promoted "disruption" of public schools and their replacement by publicly funded, basically private, charter schools. Netflix founder Reed Hastings is now pouring money in. He laments that California is only at eight per cent of kids in charters while New Orleans, where he was CEO, is at 90 per cent. Meanwhile, all the evidence says the huge stress on testing failed; even Obama acknowledges it. His education secretary, Arne Duncan, recently resigned and returned to Chicago.
I used to be prone to conspiracy theories and I feel one coming on. These guys (Gates, Hastings) get the workforce they want, with math skills and a facility to be nimble on projects they're assigned, but no impulse to challenge who's giving orders or who gains most as a result. What happens when good public education is destroyed? You get a battle of the billionaires for president -- Trump vs. Bloomberg -- and few question it because they haven't learned it's in the realm of what's questionable. The U.S. becomes post-Communist Russia!
How have we (so far) avoided this fate. In Canada 95 per cent of kids are in public schools. In the U.S., you can't get a proper number since so many are in bastardized public-private hybrids like charters. Annie Kidder of the redoubtable grassroots group People for Education says Canadians will brag (if grumpily) about our public health care, which is only 50 years old. But we take our schools, which predate Confederation, for granted. It makes them vulnerable. People for Education has begun a remarkable project called Measuring What Matters that aims to ensconce as education's main goals: health, citizenship, social-emotional skills and creativity. A true Back to the Basics movement. The 3Rs fit in somewhere.
I'm trying not to idealize our schools. They can be hell for kids in them, especially at this time of year when it seems the year'll never end. But overall they do the job of safeguarding a decent level of democracy and encouraging students to think, more or less, at least sometimes about some things.
Nor am I saying people with a formal education are smart and those without it, aren't. You can be very smart without formal schooling and some of the most glorious intellectual eras came before widespread formal education. But it's hard to be smart if you've been through a system that forced you to use all your time prepping and taking tests while leaving little space for learning to think and practising thought. That's increasingly the (so-called) public system in the U.S.
Take notes, folks.

Liverpool are closing in on deals for Alberto Moreno and Javier Manquillo, with hopes rising that both players could be signed in the coming days.
Ian Ayre, the Liverpool chief executive, has travelled to Spain to conclude the transfers as Brendan Rodgers continues to strengthen a squad that finished second in the Barclays Premier League last season, but which must also cope with the loss of Luis Suárez to Barcelona.
Moreno has been Liverpool's main target to fill the left-back role all summer, but negotiations with Seville for the 22-year-old have proved difficult, with the Spanish club refusing to do business for anything less than £20 million.
Liverpool have been unwilling to meet that asking price, which would represent a club record for a full back, but are believed to have indicated that they would pay up to £16 million for the Spain defender.
It is understood that a breakthrough has been made on valuation in recent days, hence Ayre's trip to Spain to try to bring negotiations to a successful conclusion. With José Enrique still fighting for full fitness after a knee injury, Rodgers, the manager, regards the acquisition of a high-quality left back as crucial.
Liverpool are also in the final stages of talks with Atletico Madrid as they seek to sign Manquillo, a Spain Under-20 right back, on a two-year loan deal with the option of signing him for a fee in the region of £5 million once that period has expired.
"We still have some positions that we want to fill within the squad, so by the end of August we'll have a strong squad to go forward with. We still have some business to do," Rodgers said yesterday, but despite having made six signings already this summer, he insists that assimilating so many new recruits into his squad is not a risk. "We've brought in specific players for specific roles, players who have the profile of how we work," Rodgers said. "Of course it will take them a bit more time than normal in terms of their induction, but the transition has been very smooth.
"They're good characters with good personality who fit the criteria we want in terms of the model of our game. That should make the adjustment that bit easier. But of course some of them are young and coming from a different country like Emre Can, so that will take a little bit of time."
Jordan Henderson, meanwhile, has admitted that England need Jack Wilshere, Ross Barkley and himself to take on greater responsibility in the aftermath of Steven Gerrard's retirement from international football, but believes that it will not be possible to replace the former national team captain.
"If I get selected for England I will be maybe a bit older than some of the others," the Liverpool midfielder said. "I have grown up with them through the under-21s, where I was captain, and I have a good relationship with them. If I am in the squad, of course I have to take more responsibility, especially with Stevie going — that goes for quite a few of us.
"Steven Gerrard is probably the best player this country has ever seen, so you're not going to be able to replace a player like that. What we have to do is develop the young talent coming through, and there is a lot of it. We've got to let them go and show how good they are.
"I don't think you necessarily have to fill the void left by a player like Steven.
"He is a one-off. I don't think there is any player like him. He has done it consistently over so many years. But the likes of myself, Jack, Ross or whoever is in the England team need to take more responsibility, step up to the plate and take more of a leadership role if needed. The group will work on that."

Was I Meant To Live In This Time?I can't help but feel sometimes that I wasn't meant for this world--this time in history. I feel a growing disconnect among people of this generation as a result of the technology boom of the past decade. Most everyone these days buries their noses into their smart phones, iPads and portable devices while using social networking sites as their main form of communication. There's an ever-growing sense of apathy and it seems people are less inclined to help one another.
This thought affects me greatly, to the point that it actually hurts. I have to wonder at times if it's just me who hasn't caught up with the world or if I'm somehow abnormal for feeling this way. One could say that I'm only alive now, at this very moment, because I was supposed to be. In any case, I wonder if others feel the same way because these thoughts truly make me feel alienated from my peers.

Re: not formatted error of a micro sd card...
Does the phone show files on the card? If it does, the card may be formatted as ext4, not FAT32. The phone (and any Linux computer) can read both, but Windows can only read FAT32. (If the phone doesn't show files on the card, you've lost them. Either the card got corrupted or it's shot and, in either case, the only way to recover any files would be to have the chip manufacturer, either Samsung or SanDisk, disassemble the card and try to recover the files from the storage chip in it. You can buy a new car for less.)
If the phone shows files, you can connect the phone to a Linux computer to get the files off it, you can copy them to internal storage (which a Windows computer should be able to read) or you can find a program that you can install on a Windows computer that can read ext4 drives and read the card that way. (Whatever you do, once you have the files off the card, reformat it in the phone. You'll lose all the files on it, but the card will be readable by a Windows computer, so you can copy all the files back to it.)
