Video Arcade
From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia
A video arcade is a little place where people excercise 'doing it' and BDSM by jacking off little metal and plastic phalluses and punching plastic nipples. These are called "joysticks" and "buttons". Anyways, joysticks and buttons are attatched to large machines with bright screens called "video game machines". These are awesome, and will totally get you laid.
In 2005, it was finally admitted by the inventor of Space Invaders, Taito, that video games were originally invented as a joke on the players. The joke was that in the 1970s and 1980s, video arcade employees would watch gamers play "Pac-Man" through one-way mirrors and laugh at how funny it was that they tricked the game-player into masturbating a metal dildo to a yellow dude who looked like an anus.
Many exciting types of these machines exist. There are video games that are standard button-dildo machines, dance machines, which allow you to frantically tap-dance around in order to convey the image that you are dancing and not shifting leg positions in order to not get made fun of, and racing game machines, which are basically a way for kids under 16 to think that they're driving. The latter two brutally murdered the standard arcade machine during the late 1990s.
edit Popular Arcade Games
edit PONG
Pong was one of the first arcade games ever, released in 1971. It was a simulation of ping-pong via shitty black-and-white graphics. While being one of the oldest video games ever, it is still extremely popular, and was hated by Fred Phelps "for allowing gay people to play", which just makes it even better.
edit Space Invaders
Space Invaders was released in 1979 originally as a practicioner's simulator to simulate killing of the final remnants of the hippie species, which became fully extinct on January 1, 1980. The player was originally depicted as a sniper who gunned down a slow-moving barrage of hippies. Bonus points were offered to those who could shoot Charles Manson, who floated by occasionally. Once it was the 1980s and hippies were no longer a current issue, the game was remodeled to fit in with the blatant homosexuality of the 80's, and the player's sprite was edited to look like a penis.
edit Centipede
Centipede is a game in which you must use your penis to fertilize a train of fast-moving eggs in CGA graphics.
edit Pac-Man
Pac-Man was the most famous and cool video game ever made, before he got a sex-change and became Ms. Pac-Man in 1981. The game is about a little yellow man on magic mushrooms who runs around a maze, away from hallucinogenic ghosts and gobbles crack. When Pac-Man finds a really big pile of crack, he gets really high and and overcomes the imaginary ghosts. The real Pac-Man has been caught and arrested for peddling crack cocaine to a group of 3-year-olds. He claims he was just "spreading the love". It is likely that Pac-Man has connections to Michael Jackson and all hippies. Pac-Man is known in other countries as "Pack-Man", "Puc-Man", "Paku-Man", "Puck Man", "Fuck Man", "Fuck Men", "Pakistan", and "That Little Yellow Crackhead Who Kids Jack Metal Dildos Off To".
Pac-Man says "don't do drugs, i did, now i can't stop munching on pills and multi-coloured condoms whilst dressing as a woman"
edit Donkey Kong
Donkey Kong was released in 1981 as a propaganda tool to introduce gamers to italian people. It worked quite well, and the italian dude in the game was not yet named became known as the sexiest man in the world. In other words, "Donkey Kong" is actually Ron Jeremy's first porno. The story in "Donkey Kong" is that Pauline, Mario's girlfriend, is kidnapped by a racist gigantic monkey named Donkey Kong, (or "Donkey Cock", occasionally) who plans to throw hydrogen bombs at italian people from the top of an unfinished skyscraper. The game's true ending features of animation of Mario taking a sledgehammer and repeatedly using it to whack Donkey Kong in the penis. It has been rumored that after a player scored 9,000,000,000,000 points in the game without dying, a live gorilla broke out of the arcade machine and beat the shit out of him as his "reward".
edit Frogger
Frogger is a game where the player guides a frog through heavy traffic, with intent on causing extinction of the frog species. The game is most easily won when the player allows Frogger to be squashed by a truck, but some like to make the frog's pain last by beating levels of the game before the frog's demise.
edit Pole Position
Pole Position was a racing game that was almost 3D. It had good graphics in the 1980s. Basically, the game featured then-famous strippers driving little orange cars around an endless racetrack that it's impossible to finish, while crashing into other cars and exploding. At one point, you could get your driver's license revoked for getting into an "accident" in the game, (or in your pants) though this was eventually abolished, since it was just plain silly.
edit Mario Bros.
Mario Bros. was the second attempt to get gamers used to seeing italian people beating up turtles and crabs with the excuse of being "entertainment". The story is that Mario and Weegee get fired from the carpenter business because they were caught masturbating on the job, and became plumbers. Instead of actually working, they spent their time kicking the shit out of innocent turtles, bugs, crabs, and icicles. Such acts are now a common practice among non-italian plumbers, thanks to this game.
edit Tapper
This game was originally called "Tapper", featuring a bartender who had to sell beer to the people in the bar. Of course, since beer is obviously a creation of Satan, the game had to be toned-down and renamed "Root Beer Tapper". This was eventually considered offensive too, and in 2012, the game's final revision, "Apple Juice Tapper" replaced all "Tapper" and "Root Beer Tapper" machines.
edit Star Wars
Star Wars is a 1983 game based off of the movie. It involves Luke Skywalker flying his X-Wing around the Death Star and flying through the ass crack of the Death Star, shooting the giant erecting penises on the surface, and masturbating to Slave Leia. All this in a primitive vector-graphics 3D masterpiece.
edit Gauntlet
Gauntlet was the first step in allowing RPG nerds to pursue the path to getting laid. For the first time, nerds could actually go out of their basements, and if they weren't beaten up before they reached the arcade machine, they could potentially interact with female nerds and reproduce. This was before the internet, of course.
edit Out Run
Another pointless but cool racing game with good almost-3D graphics.
edit Contra
Contra was one of the first video games to portray a homosexual couple as good guys. It features two badass dudes with machine guns shooting nazis and aliens in their humongous backyard for fun.
edit Double Dragon
Double Dragon is another game about homosexuals. Of course, I'm talking about Billy and Jimmy Lee. And since they're brothers, that makes them an incestuous gay couple. Fucked up, eh? Anyways, the goal of the game is to rescue their straight female friend (who shares their interest of fucking men) from a group of Westboro Baptist Church members.
edit Hard Drivin'
Hard Drivin' gets its name from the fact that the main character in the game is under the influence of alchohol. For the longest time, many believed that Hard Drivin' was the first game to use 3D polygon futuristic graphics. This is untrue, as the first game with 3D polygon graphics was Virtua Racing. Hard Drivin' used digitalized photographs of various objects from a cardboard box dimension, which is why everything appears to be made of cardboard boxes in the game.
edit Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is one of the greatest video games ever. Why? Because it's awesome. The plot is that four turtles become ninjas and save April and Splinter and crap like that. It's very fun, and everybody who had sex has played this game at least once.
edit Raiden
Raiden is a game in which you fly a big red rocket over the land and shoot alien space ships. ===DOOM==Doom is a homosexual game about killing sex starved sexslaves The hero of the game uses different [[dildos[[
edit Street Fighter II
Contrary to popular belief, there was never a "Street Fighter I". Street Fighter II is actually the first game in the Street Fighter series, and it casted Chuck Norris as Ryu and Mr. T as Balrog. The truth is, that is the single reason this game was so popular. It's just the result Chuck Norris's power. Every time you play this game, Chuck Norris gets a boner. And I'm NOT trying to say that the game's joystick is Chuck Norris's penis. That would be a major insult. When you insult Chuck Norris, you die.
edit Mortal Kombat
Mortal Kombat was konsidered very kool bekause it kontained large amounts of blood and gore. For the first time, the kasual gamer kould dekapitate, rip out a heart, and do other fukking krazy kikk-moves.
edit Virtua Racing
Virtua Racing WAS the first 3D polygon racing game. It was also revolutionary for not having a dildo on the machine, so for a long time, it was rumored that the game could cure being gay.
edit NBA Jam
NBA Jam is a basketball game with ultra-hyper-photo-photon-sensor-photosynthesis-realistic graphics of pixelated REAL PEOPLE! WOW! The game's title comes from an incident in which a MIDWAY executive jammed a basketball hope up his rectum for good luck.
edit Ridge Racer
Ridge Racer was one of the first 3D games to have graphics that didn't 100% look like cardboard boxes. This game was very popular and it was ported to the GayStation two years after its release. It also spawned two rape-oriented sequels, Rape Racer, and Ridge Raper.
edit Virtua Fighter
Virtua Fighter was the first 3D fighting game to feature people with square noses. Like the advertisements had shown, in early editions of the game, it was possible to fling a character out of the machine and break the monitor glass. This often caused power outages, but it was worth it, because Mickey Mouse often enjoyed kicking the shit out of the video game character when he hit the arcade floor.
edit Daytona USA
Daytona USA was SEGA's butthurt response to Ridge Racer and its rapist sequels. It involved non-techno music, shiner cars, and better graphics. Because of this game, nearly all non-DDR video arcade games released after it were racing games. Still, this game is pretty cool, and one of the few old video games that hot chicks will play without being brutally forced to by their male partner. In gay-friendly circles, this game has been released as "Gaytona USA".
edit Virtua Cop
Virtua Cop is the third "Virtua" game. It allows players to realistically taser, deny Habeas Corpus rights, and sexually abuse convicts. Fun for the whole family -- just don't tase me, bro!
edit How to Be the Coolest at a Video Arcade
1. Dwell the arcade for at least 2 days straight. On the last day, you will have eight buckets full of tickets. Nobody's cooler at the 'cade than THAT guy!
2. Be really fat and rock at Dance Dance Revolution. Sweating gluttons prancing around are often showstealers.
3. Be a total dick to people who suck at Dance Dance Revolution, but don't ever actually play. Just watch.
4. Even if you aren't 21 or older, drink beer. Teenagers everywhere will immediately think you're an awesome badass.
5. Always buy the BIGGEST stuffed animal prize.
6. Never actually play a VIDEO game. Only play redemption games.
7. Play the most popular fighting game in the arcade from open to close in the arcade. When anyone approaches to play against you, snort derisively and A.) beat them decisively and say "That's right you walk away! THIS IS MY GAME! WHO'S NEXT" while applying Stridex pads to your gross pizza face, or B.) lose repeatedly, but whine and complain that your opponent is a cheater enough that they will no longer feel good about their victories against you, or really, videogames in general; they will start studying more, get a business degree, and later return to buy out the arcade you've frequented until well into your adult years, just to watch you walk up to the entrance one day and bawl your little loser eyes out upon seeing a "Coming Soon: Applebees!" sign outside the chained doors.
If you can abide by all or most of these rules, you will be coolest kid at the arcade, and every woman there will want to have sex with you, and you will probably be forced to make out with some transexual lesbian conjoined retarded drunk divorced drag queens on the Jerry Springer show. And you'll be a millionaire, which is pretty cool, because no billionaires are ever gay or homophobic.

His speech was called "our intellectual Declaration of Independence." Its theme was the universe itself; its hero, Man Thinking. Now, one hundred and seventy-five years later, a noted scholar sees Emerson's great vision as both more beleaguered and more urgent than ever.
ON AUGUST 31, 1837, THE DAY AFTER COMMENCEMENT—they don't seem to have gone in for vacations in those earnest times—the academic year at Harvard was ushered in with Ralph Waldo Emerson's address to Phi Beta Kappa on a stock topic, "The American Scholar." The meeting was held in the First Parish Church, on the exact spot where Anne Hutchinson had been examined for heresy two centuries before. Read more »
Elizabeth, Mary, and Sophia Peabody managed to extend the boundaries that cramped the lives of nineteenth-century women. Elizabeth introduced the kindergarten movement to America, Mary developed a new philosophy of mothering that we now take for granted, and Sophia was liberated from invalidism by her passionate love for her husband.
Other men," Ralph Waldo Emerson told an admiring crowd in Boston's Odeon Theater toward the end of 1845, "are lenses through which we read our own minds." The eminent philosopher then went on to tell his audience of the importance in their lives of "Representative Men," such as Plato, Shakespeare, Napoleon, and Goethe. "These men correct the delirium of the animal spirits, make us considerate, and engage us to new aims and powers," Emerson concluded. "Thus we feed on genius...." Read more »

One morning in early October 1849, Henry David Thoreau peered through the rainstreaked window of a stagecoach as it rolled along a sandy, rutted road on the north shore of Cape Cod. He found the landscape bleak and almost bare of trees, the houses poor and weather-beaten. Even the women's faces were cheerless. "They had prominent chins and noses," he wrote, "having lost all their teeth, and a sharp W would represent their profile." Read more »

America is not a nation of readers, yet books have had a deep and lasting effect on its national life. By comparison with the Russians, whose thirst for books—especially contraband books—is legendary, we pay them scant attention; Walker Percy once dolefully estimated that the hard-core audience for serious literature in this country of two hundred and thirty million is perhaps one or two million, and he probably was not far off.Read more »
EARLY IN THE afternoon of the last day of August 1839, Henry David Thoreau and his brother John put a homemade dory in the Concord River, not far above the bridge where the Minutemen had fired on British troops sixty-four years before. They traveled light. For food they took melons and potatoes grown in their own garden and a few other provisions. For shelter they had a tent, also made at home, and for warmth a pair of buffalo skins.Read more »

EVERY THURSDAY , when I leave my apartment in a vast housing complex on Columbus Avenue to conduct a university seminar on the American city, I reflect on a double life—mine. Most of the people I pass on my way to the subway look as imprisoned by the city as my parents and relatives used to look in the Brooklyn ghetto where I spent my first twenty years. Yet no matter where else I have traveled and taught, I always seem to return to streets and scenes like those on New York's Upper West Side. Read more »
When Constable Samuel Staples of Concord, Massachusetts, placed Henry David Thoreau under arrest for nonpayment of his state poll tax in late July of 1846, he had no idea that his act would bring about international repercussions a century later.

As I trill a la Julie Andrews, darlings, RUSH right over to this January 3 column by the wondrous, precious and irreplaceable Bill Cunningham of the NY Times (yes, I saw the documentary about him last winter and yes, I loved it with all my being) and just feast your eyes on MEN WHO LOOK ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS.
Even if you disagree with their choices, the point that Bill Cunningham makes several times is that these fellas are making an effort. They are vibrant, creative, alive, lively, interesting and obviously interested in what's now + wow in 2013. They are saying, "We are not passive observers of art, we ARE art." They are anything but generic. And they inspire the crepes suzette out of me.

Generals hammer Storm
Oceanside's Save On Foods Generals returned to the rink hungry for a win Saturday, and were full value for a satisfying 9-4 final over the Campbell River Storm.
The Storm may be at the bottom of the Vancouver Island Junior Hockey League (VIJHL) standings, but they are fast and stubborn and always play Oceanside tough.
Both teams came out of the gate hard, and the Storm thought they'd struck for the early lead just over a minute in, only to have it waved off.
Luciano Somerville rubbed salt in the wound when he roofed a Cam McKarrick rebound and staked Oceanside to a 1-0 lead a minute later.
Taylor Grobowski (Garrett Kemmler, Dylan Haugen) struck on the power play at 8:52 to up it to 2-0. Local boy Brett Willsie scored for CR at 11:19 to cut it to 2-1.
Haugen scored at 18:01 to make it 3-1, which is how it stood at the first intermission.
Taylor Gray (Nathan Deyell, Riel Gibson) scored 4:08 into the second period to up it to 4-1. CR got one to go at 7:47 to make it 4-2. Oceanside struck for two goals — Connor Allison at 15:55 and Kyle Yamasaki on the PP at 18:48 — for a 6-2 Gens' lead after 40 minutes.
The Generals kept their foot on the gas in the third with Haugen, Grobowski and Gray all scoring. The Storm mustered two in the last two minutes, the last one a bit unusual as it was an empty netter.
"We had three guys with two goals each so I pulled the goalie and loaded them up to try and get one of them the hat trick," explained head coach and GM Dave Johnston.
Deyell, from Vancouver and in his rookie season with the Gens, said Johnston, "has been unreal for us all year. He's been one of the top 16-year-olds in junior B hockey in the province this year. He's a real two-dimensional defensemen — he has offensive instincts, and he is very solid defensively."
Also earning props from his coach was Generals' stalwart Yamasaki, who was force feeding the Storm pucks all night.
"I thought Yammers was phenomenal last night," said Johnston. "He was a real leader out there."
For the Generals, it was their only game of the week after a week off, so there were expectations going in.
"For sure," Johnston confirmed Sunday, adding, "we had to take a period to knock some rust off, but our players had great energy the whole game."
Great energy, and a clear commitment to the systems in place as they had the Storm on their heels for much of the game.
The Storm were 0-for-5 with the man advantage on Saturday, the Gens 2-for-8. It was the eighth and final regular season meeting between the two teams this year. The Gens take the head-to-head series 6-2. The Storm, added Johnston, were 0-for-40 overall in the series against Oceanside with the man advantage.
Oceanside outshot CR 37-26 on the night. Gens' starter Michael Gudmandson backstopped the locals with a solid 22-save performance.
Now 17-16-2 and sitting fourth overall with eight regular season games remaining, the Generals are in Comox Friday night, and return home Saturday to take on the sixth place Kerry Park Islanders (7:30 p.m. start).

The inventors of the CDMA technology that makes 3 billion cell phones possible, the father of the radio telescope, the creator of DSL, and the men behind the Steadicam, iris recognition technology, the Moog synthesizer, and crash test dummies: They were all among the inventors inducted last night into the National Inventors Hall of Fame at its 41st annual induction ceremony.
How do you get to be one of the world's great inventors? Garrett Brown explained that he had a great uncle who made his own farm equipment, and his father gave him a boys' biography of Thomas Edison when he was young. But he grew up to become a singer and then a cameraman. He only started inventing when he was frustrated by how a heavy camera had to ride on a dolly to do a tracking shot, greatly limiting its capabilities. He resolved to find a way to get rid of the dolly, and within days he had devised what became the Steadicam. He describes its inner workings as "sort of a Newtonian magic art."
Arthur Ashkin, who helped figure out the molecular trapping technology that makes possible the study and manipulation of atoms and small molecules, described how he wanted to submit his discovery to Physical Review Letters but was told by his superiors at Bell Labs that his science didn't rise to those standards. He sent it in anyway, and it was recently named one of the hundred most important papers in atomic physics in the last century.
Irwin Jacobs was told that his big idea, code division multiple access, or CDMA, which cell telephone networks rely on, simply violated the laws of physics. "That of course was of course a major hurdle to get over," he said. Nonetheless he persevered, founding Inc. along the way, and now, he said, CDMA is part of all third generation mobile phones, some 3 billion of them and counting worldwide. People ask him what the next big thing will be, and he replies that what he'd like to see is a small "camera or glasses that as you approach somebody will whisper in your ear who they are and when you last saw them."
Jacobs' coinventor, Andrew J. Viterbi, made his acceptance remarks an impassioned call for immigration reform. He began, "I came to this country as a foreign student, but not in college or graduate school. Upon coming to the U.S. I was enrolled in kindergarten in New York City." He went on to graduate from MIT and get advanced degrees there and at the University of Southern California, and "every bit of that education has served me well." He urged that every foreigner who earns a graduate degree in engineering in the U.S. be automatically qualified to receive a green card. After all, "only through my education could I have contributed so much to society and the economy.
These inventors' work has touched most people alive in some way. Not only is Jacobs and Viterbi's CDMA in devices in the hands of 3 billion, but John Daugman, coinventor of the workings of iris recognition technology, pointed out that his innovation is now being used to identify all of the 1.2 billion people who populate India, most of whom have no other form of identification. So far more than 300,000 have been cataloged.
This year's other living inductees, in addition to Brown, Ashkin, Jacobs, Viterbi, and Daugman, were Donald Bitzer and Robert Willson for the plasma TV display, Leonard Flom for iris recognition, and Joseph Lechleider for the digital subscriber line. The deceased inductees were Samuel Alderson for the crash test dummy, John Birden and Ken Jordan for the radioisotope thermoelectric generator, which uses radioactive decay to power exploration vehicles in deep space, Robert Moog for the Moog synthesizer, Aran Safir for iris recognition, Gene Slottow for the plasma display, Alfred Loomis for LORAN, and Grote Reber for the radio telescope. They join a total of 487 inventors inducted since the Hall began in 1973.

Member Posts: 102 (2/18/03 8:00:03 am) Reply | Edit | Del hahaha -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- what the heck would you do with a 20mm rifle?!?! i mean seriously its pointless, plus ammo would be up the wall!!
I believe the Denel is the 20mm AM rifle made in S. Africa but I could be wrong. I think they are not eligible for import to civilians. If you have to have a 20mm look for an old 1939 Lahti Anti-Tank Rifle. Very nice gun and easier to locate. Ammo is still unreal in price and availability.
This rifle was designed in the early to mid 1990s by South African arms designer Tony Neophytou, who also took its part in designing the Neostead combat shotgun. Initial development was under the Aerotek name, and later the Mechem division of the DENEL Group, a major South African arms manufacturer, purchased all rights for this design. In the 1998 South African National Defense Forces adopted this weapon and began to purchase it in some numbers. It is also offered for export sales. The NTW-20 is a long range anti-materiel rifle, developed to reach out across wide plains of South African landscape and to deliver substantial firepower in a relatively compact, two men portable package. It is available in two versions, 20mm and 14.5mm, and could be easily converted from one variant to another by simple replacement of the barrel, bolt, magazine and scope, which will take about 1 minute in the field conditions. These two versions had slightly different applications: 20mm version, built around WW2-era German MG-151 aircraft gun round, can deliver high explosive, fragmentation or incendiary shells with good accuracy, so a relatively "soft" target could be disabled by the blast and / or fragments. When the long range and armor penetration is an issue, the 14.5mm version comes into the play. It is built around another WW2-era round, Soviet 14.5mm high velocity, armor-piercing cartridge, developed for PTRD and PTRS anti-tank rifles and still widely used in Russian KPV / KPVT heavy machine guns on armored cars and in anti-aircraft mounts. While probably not so accurate as the specially developed .50BMG (12.7x99mm) rifles, mostly due to unavailability of the "match grade" ammunition in the 14.5mm and 20mm, NTW-20 offers significantly more terminal effectiveness than any .50BMG rifle / round combination. 20 mm version could be most effective against targets like parked aircrafts and helicopters, command and communications equipment, radar cabins, fuel dumps, unarmored cars. 14.5 mm version will be more effective against armored personnel carriers or relatively large "soft" targets at extended ranges. Anti-personnel work is by no means a primary task for this huge rifle. NTW-20 is a manually operated, rotating bolt action rifle. The barrel is locked by the rotating bolt that has 6 lugs. The barrel along with the receiver could recoil inside the chassis frame against combined hydraulic and pneumatic damping system. Large two-chamber muzzle brake also helps to keep recoil at the acceptable level. NTW-20 is fed from the detachable box magazine, that is inserted from the left side and holds 3 rounds. The rifle could be disassembled and carried in two man-portable packs, each weighting about 12 - 15 kg. One pack carries the frame, stock, butt and bipod while the other carries the barrel, sighting equipment and magazines. NTW-20 is equipped with a 8X magnification, long eye relief telescopic sight on the quick detachable mount. No open sights are fitted by default. The folding bipod is mounted under the receiver, and a non-folding frame above the receiver serves as a carrying handle and a scope protection bracket. Why the crap would you want a 20mm rifle anyway? I mean I understand a .50 for fun target shooting and competition (well sorta, I think its overkill), but a 20mm thats just sick. heres pics http://world.guns.ru/sniper/sn55-e.htm
Not sick at all, destructive devices (as classified by ATF) are a lot of fun too, I suggest that any of you that haven't been to a "Real" class-3 shoot, make plans to attend and/or shoot one! There are quite a few DD/Dealers/folks that enjoy the display as much as they do their sales. Keep an open mind!

Information for Patients
Also called: DM, Diabetes mellitus
Diabetes is a disease in which your blood glucose, or blood sugar, levels are too high. Glucose comes from the foods you eat. Insulin is a hormone that helps the glucose get into your cells to give them energy. With type 1 diabetes, your body does not make insulin. With type 2 diabetes, the more common type, your body does not make or use insulin well. Without enough insulin, the glucose stays in your blood. You can also have prediabetes. This means that your blood sugar is higher than normal but not high enough to be called diabetes. Having prediabetes puts you at a higher risk of getting type 2 diabetes.
Over time, having too much glucose in your blood can cause serious problems. It can damage your eyes, kidneys, and nerves. Diabetes can also cause heart disease, stroke and even the need to remove a limb. Pregnant women can also get diabetes, called gestational diabetes.
Blood tests can show if you have diabetes. One type of test, the A1C, can also check on how you are managing your diabetes. Exercise, weight control and sticking to your meal plan can help control your diabetes. You should also monitor your blood glucose level and take medicine if prescribed.

Diabetic Nerve Problems
Also called: Diabetic neuropathy
If you have diabetes, your blood glucose, or blood sugar, levels are too high. Over time, this can damage the covering on your nerves or the blood vessels that bring oxygen to your nerves. Damaged nerves may stop sending messages, or may send messages slowly or at the wrong times.
This damage is called diabetic neuropathy. Over half of people with diabetes get it. Symptoms may include
- Numbness in your hands, legs, or feet
- Shooting pains, burning, or tingling
- Nausea, vomiting, constipation, or diarrhea
- Problems with sexual function
- Urinary problems
- Dizziness when you change positions quickly
Your doctor will diagnose diabetic neuropathy with a physical exam and nerve tests. Controlling your blood sugar can help prevent nerve problems, or keep them from getting worse. Treatment may include pain relief and other medicines.

Dior Cherie Bow spring 2013
I picked up the lighter toned eye palette, Rose Ballerine (£41). It contains a shimmery candy pink, frosty pale pink, frosty/iridescent peachy pink, metallic/frost white, and a shimmery grey/taupe.
The colours go on very sheer and although they have the smooth, creamy feel I would expect from Dior, I think these have gone a step too far with the softness (apart from the grey), so much in fact that any type of blending seems to obliterate the pigment and they need to be patted on. Furthermore, even with an eye base I find by mid day I have significant fading.
In terms of the overall look, whilst this is prone to looking too frosty it does give a brightening very feminine look which I can't deny is quite pretty.
I selected one lipstick from the Cherie Bow display what I though was the pink lipstick from the collection, unfortunately I later found out that the counter only had Espiegle and had substituted Candide and Charmante with shades from the regular line and had a fourth shade which I had unwittingly picked up.
I think this is misleading and I will have to check names of seasonal releases beforehand if I go to this counter as I can't trust that they will actually display the correct products. So the colour I have is called Bow (£21). Its a cool very sheer baby pink,with a glowy/gloss finish.
The colour gives me that overly cool milky frostbitten look, its unflattering on me. It feels comfortable on and quite light weight but the colour does not have any longevity.
There were a few other items I wanted from the spring collection but I just feel a bit sour grapes about it now so don't think I'll bother ...flounces off...
I bought these from Boots
12 comments:
It annoys me when brands substitute for sold out/missing items from a collection. Mac used to do it, but they've stopped now - they just mark items as sold out. Sorry you got caught by it :(
I quite liked the look of the deeper pink lipstick from the collection (Espiegle, maybe?) - they do seem a lot sheerer than the regular Addict lipsticks though.The taupe eyeshadow is really pretty! I'm sorry they gave you the wrong lip colour, that's so terrible. The colour you got is nice though!
ReplyDeleteYes, it didn't quite turn out as expected, thinking about it I don't have much luck with previous Dior spring releases so should learn really ;) x
ReplyDeleteFlounces? I think you're very restrained. I think I'd probably start trying to sabotage the counter using rogue testers as missiles!!
ReplyDeleteThe only thing I've picked up so far from this collection is the pink nail polish, but I'm very tempted by this eye palette! :)

Chunky knits
Whether strewn with sequins or knitted into cosy cables or intricate intarsia, the humble jumper has been upgraded for winter – and it's a good thing, too: have you seen the price of gas these days? Turn the central heating down and cuddle up in a winter warmer.
Hats this season are huge in every sense. The oversized furry ones and cartoon clothes created by Stephen Jones for Marc Jacobs' own show and his Louis Vuitton extravaganza might not translate that well to a trip to the corner shop, but Bernstock Speirs' veiled beanie still makes quite the statement. £70, bernstockspeirs.com
Forget all you've heard about safety pins and spittle, this season's fashion punk is far more polished than its earnest 1970s forebears and, let's be honest, slightly shallower, too. Silver spikes, studs and skulls can all be found throwing bold jewellery into sharp relief while elsewhere zips and chains add a heavy metal element.
Brick, tomato, rust or oxblood: whatever you want to call it, red accents abound for autumn. Whether you choose one statement piece or accessorise with them, this season's reds are a little "off" – less obvious scarlet or crimson, more obscure tones that border on orange and mahogany.
Metallic eye shadows can be flattering, as the light-reflecting particles softly shimmer away. Careful that you don't go too Abba, though.
Puffer jackets
Previously the province of dog walkers and that bloke from The Fast Show, the puffer made it on to the winter catwalks, reinterpreted with print and tailoring at Peter Pilotto and made grungy at Alexander Wang. Finally, fashion that's practical.
Say a farewell to arms this season as designers rediscover their love of capes. Not terribly practical if you have a lot to carry, but a sleek alternative to a bulky winter coat. Vanessa Bruno's version comes in a very now (and very next season) shade of forest green. £695, Vanessa Bruno, net-a-porter.com
Military colours
This perennial winter trend still hasn't been given its marching orders, and it's clear to see why. A serried row of gleaming brass buttons on a well-cut wool coat in khaki or black is just the tonic for when an ill wind begins to blow.
Printed, metallic, cropped, flared, skinny – it may seem obvious but trousers are on trend for winter.
There's a masculine mood in womenswear this season, and while Céline's crisply tailored separates remain the stuff of dreams, for most at least, the high street has certainly upped its game. Parisian brand The Kooples has that sexy Gallic thing down to a tee with its tuxedo styling and silky shirts; thekooples.co.uk
These days the King's Road may be the red-trouser-brigade's stomping ground, but in the 1970s it was populated by bright young things who'd dropped out in India and found themselves along the way. Channel that Chelsea with louche, vaguely psychedelic prints on loose pyjama-style pieces. If it looks like your nan's wallpaper, you're on the right track.
Perhaps it's post-Olympic fervour, but the sporty look is big for autumn 2012. Capture it perfectly and preppily with Whistles' varsity-style baseball jacket – which can be personalised with your own initials in-store at no extra charge, while stock lasts. £295, whistles.co.uk

TVT Records was an American record label founded by Steve Gottlieb. Over the course of its 25-year history the label released some 25 Gold, Platinum and Multi-platinum releases.[1] Its roster included Nine Inch Nails, Ja Rule, Lil Jon, Underworld, Gravity Kills, The KLF, The Baldwin Brothers, Sevendust, the Wellwater Conspiracy, Brian Jonestown Massacre , The Holloways, The Cinematics, Buck-O-Nine, DJ Hurricane, Speech and Pitbull. Its biggest commercial successes were the triple platinum Nine Inch Nails's Pretty Hate Machine, two double platinum releases by Lil Jon, and platinum releases by Snoop Dogg and the Eastside Boyz, Dashboard Confessional, Default and Ying Yang Twins as well as gold releases by Sevendust, Gravity Kills and The Black Crowes and Jimmy Page. Additionally, TVT also had success overseas, achieving a gold release in Germany and Sweden with The Connells and scored platinum and gold records in Canada with Default.
Early years
TeeVee Toons was founded in 1985 by Steve Gottlieb, a graduate of Yale University and Harvard Law.[2] Gottlieb launched the label from his New York City apartment[2] with the release of Television's Greatest Hits, an album featuring theme songs from classic TV shows that became a respectable seller. The San Francisco Chronicle called the album "the most fun you can have with your pants on", and the New York Times highlighted it as one of 1985's most notable business ideas.[3]
In 1986, TeeVee Toons was shortened to TVT Records, a label that would sign and/or develop musical acts over the next couple of decades such as: The Saints, Shona Laing, Nine Inch Nails, the Connells, Aphex Twin, Tackhead, Underworld, Gravity Kills, Vallejo, Jurassic Five, Sevendust, Default, XTC, Guided By Voices, Jimmy Page and the Black Crowes, Bounty Killer, KMFDM, Brian Jonestown Massacre, The Holloways, The Cinematics, Towers of London, Gil Scott-Heron, Tha Eastsidaz, Just Jack, Wayne, Pay The Girl, Buck-O-Nine, New Years Day, The Strays, Blue Epic, Lil Jon, Ying Yang Twins, Pitbull, Teedra Moses, The Unband, and Ambulance LTD.
In 1992, TVT purchased the Chicago-based industrial music label Wax Trax! Records. This gave TVT the artists and/or catalogue releases of such acts as: Ministry, My Life with the Thrill Kill Kult, KMFDM, and others.
In 1995, TVT started their official soundtrack imprint called TVT SOUNDTRAX headed by Patricia Joseph releasing television, film, and Broadway soundtracks. It expanded "Television's Greatest Hits" to an eight-volume series and released over 70 film and TV soundtracks, including the platinum Mortal Kombat soundtrack. Its theatrical music releases included the Stephen Sondheim Follies.
In 1996 Crain's named Gottlieb one of its forty under 40 Rising Stars to Watch, citing the 50% yearly growth of TVT.[4]
In 1999 TVT completed a securitization that enabled it to raise $23.5 million in growth capital.[5]
In 2000, TVT Records opened TVT Distribution, a distribution company for third party labels, among them Vagrant Records. TVT Distribution, in conjunction with Vagrant, went on to achieve gold album success with Dashboard Confessional.
The label's publishing arm, TVT Music Publishing signed songwriter/producers Scott Storch who won Top Producer of the Year for ASCAP in 2004, and Lil Jon who won Top Producer of the Year for BMI in 2005. Those artists, along with many others, helped TVT Music Publishing accumulate over a hundred US Hot 100 songs, recorded by such acts as Usher, Pink, Beyoncé, Christina Aguilera, and Justin Timberlake.
Later years
In 2000, TVT became the first label to put its entire catalog online available for downloading and free streaming by fans. In 2001, the label reached an amicable arrangement with Napster for use of TVT's artist copyrights, and TVT's CEO joined the Napster advisory board. Gottlieb appeared before the Senate Judiciary Committee in 2001 on a panel that included Richard Parsons, then head of Time Warner and Ken Berry, head of EMI, and artists Alanis Morissette and Don Henley.[6] CEO Gottlieb served on the Board of Directors of Musicmatch (sold to Yahoo!).
TVT was one of the founding members of the Association of Independent Music (A2IM), an organization devoted to protecting independent labels interests.[7]
In 2002, the label got into a dispute with Lyor Cohen, then head of Island Def Jam. The dispute involved Cohen and Universal paying former TVT artist Ja Rule $8 million to not deliver an album paid for by TVT, and promised to TVT and instead deliver it to Universal. In the resulting litigation Universal was prohibited by the courts from releasing the album created with TVT's funding. In the ultimate trial over the claims of fraud and tortious interference, a jury awarded TVT a $132 million judgment. Universal appealed the ruling. On appeal, Cohen and Universal argued the existence of an agreement between the parties meant that their behavior was only a breach of contract and not a fraud or tort. The court agreed, reducing TVT's award to $126,000.
Slip-N-Slide lawsuit/Bankruptcy
In 2007, TVT lost a $9 million lawsuit to Slip-N-Slide Records when a Florida judge ruled that Slip-N-Slide had legal rights to distribute an unreleased album it owned by rapper Pitbull that he recorded for Slip-N-Slide in 2001. TVT, who signed Pitbull several years later, had sought to notice third parties (such as record stores or digital download entities) that the distribution and sale of this album would violate TVT's exclusive right to create new music by the artist. The judge, however, ruled against TVT as Pitbull had made the recordings prior to signing with TVT, and awarded Slip-N-Slide the $9 million judgement as TVT had attempted to block the sale of the album. TVT filed for appeal but was unable to post the required bond, thus TVT filed for bankruptcy.
On February 19, 2008, Gottlieb stated "This is not the end of TVT."[8] In June 2008, however, the digital music label The Orchard was declared the winning bidder by a New York bankruptcy court and gained control of TVT's artist contracts, catalogue recordings, and its distribution infrastructure, thus ending the TVT Records label imprint. The music publishing assets were transferred to TVT Music Enterprises, and later purchased by Reservoir Media Management.[9]

What do you use for a box?
I love regular high bar Olympic squats but I'm into performance pretty big too and I have definitely chosen to do box squats. The problem is the guys house I lift at is hardwood floor so there's no possibility of using anything with wheels like an old flat computer chair. What do you use personally? Maybe some of you guys are pretty idealistic.
You won't want to use anything that could move... like a chair w/wheels. A flat bench can work. I built a box out of 2x4's a while back. Just stack 'em, criss-cross, nail or screw it down to a minimum height. Build another short box or two so that you can have a few heights... or just throw plates or mats on top of the base for the same effect. Design can vary but kept it stupid-simple... a box and a sturdy one at that.
I made a box with 2x4's. Took a couple hours to build, but fairly straightforward.

The Connecticut State Police Union on Thursday said a "major malfunction" caused emergency calls from Eastern Connecticut to be routed to the wrong dispatch center Wednesday night, a glitch state police officials said involved only a momentary lapse loss of telephone connectivity.
In a press release, the union said 911 calls from slated for barracks in Danielson, Montville, Colchester and Tolland during rush hour on Wednesday night were routed to the state police barracks in Litchfield instead of to the Troop C consolidated dispatch center in Tolland.
"AII four Troop areas in the State Police Eastern District (Troops D, E, C, and K) were impacted by the malfunction that occurred (Wednesday) night, potentially sending calls across the state to Litchfield where local dispatchers are less familiar with the Eastern Connecticut or State Police operations on the opposite end of the state," according to the press release.
In a separate press release, state police spokesman Lt. J. Paul Vance said one of the eight telephone lines at Troop C went down for approximately 36 minutes and calls were automatically routed to Tolland while AT&T worked on the issue. He said there was "absolutely no interruption in public service or state police response."
"To call it a 'major malfunction' when these type of momentary losses of telephone line connectivity are not uncommon is misleading to the public," Vance said. "These momentary losses are one of the reasons why we have redundant lines installed. Further, the issue had nothing to do with the consolidation of the eastern troop dispatch into Troop C."
As a precaution AT&T replaced a line card at the telephone company central office. No cause for the downed line was found, police said.

I know all of my followers and friends will probably roll their eyes when they see this post... Yes... I'm talking about the DYI Laundry Detergent again! Bare with me...
I can't get off my soap box with this product! (hahaha... sorry, that pun was a little too cheesy) I made my first batch in January this year and have been using it for EVERY LOAD since. And I still LOVE it. So much so, I have made two batches since, to bottle and share with others (note... I'm still using the first batch for my laundry). I wish I could take full credit for this wonderful concoction, but, I found it on Pinterest. You can find the original recipe here.
Here are the products and tools needed to get started:
1/3 bar of Fels Naptha grated
1/2 cup Super Washing Soda
1/2 cup Borax powder
Grate the Fels Naptha Soap (I found a cheese grater with container attached. Works like a charm!) I suggest doing this ahead of time. It's a great thing to do while watching your favorite show... it takes about 10-20 minuets to grate the whole bar. I grate the whole thing and put the extra in zip lock bags for later. Put grated soap in a large soup pot. Add 6 cups of water and heat on low until soap melts. Add the washing soda and the borax and stir until it is dissolved. Continue stirring until the mixture thickens. The original recipe said it would get almost as thick as honey. well, mine never has, so, I stir until it is thicker than when I started.(about 10-20 minuets) Remove from heat. Pour 4 cups hot water into soap mixture. Pour this into a 2-5 gallon bucket. Now add 22 cups (1 gallon plus 6 cups) of water and stir. Let sit about 24 hours with the lid off and it will gel. After 24 hours, you will need to mix it up to blend in the gel and the liquid bottom. I use my emulsion blender. Works great. I then add my essential oil and blend one more time. 20-25 drops. I then pour into my containers. I found some cheap ones that have great lids that close tight. You will have to shake up your soap before using each time.
I was so happy to find most of my product at one store. I didn't have to travel several different places to pick it all up. I did have to look around for the essential oils. You wanna make sure you are using the real thing when it comes to these. I picked up three different scents and have been using "Creative Juices" for my laundry smell. The name fit the project and the smell is fresh and a little spunky. ;)
I use this detergent to soak clothes that maybe a little dirtier than others. I soak them for 2 hours in our sink with 1/4 cup of detergent. If you have a nasty stain, you can take the Fels-naptha bar and rub it directly on the stain before soaking. Works great! the soap is also delicate enough for our little furry friends (not to be mistaken with LIVE furry friends!) I have a since of ease knowing my little boy will be snuggling up to he best pal, chemical free. ;)
When I first realized how much money this DYI detergent was going to save me, I was a little skeptical of the quality. It must be "too good to be true"... right? If it's this cheap to make, all natural, and works... how can these brand name products stay in business?! (but that's another discussion I'll save for later...)
Laundry Detergent Ingredients: TOTAL - $9.53
You will need Super Washing Soda (make sure you get the washing and not baking soda) - $3.24 55oz
Borax - $4.29 4lb box
Fels-Naptha Soap - $2.00 for a bar
(Optional) Essential Oil - prices vary on flavor. I paid $10.00 for one bottle which will last a LONG time and I bought local, so, the price is going to be higher. I found a bottle of the same stuff online for $6.00... Here is the fine print for this essential oil: No synthetic preservatives, colors or fragrances. Inspire and nurture your creativity with this energizing and uplifting blend of citrus, spice, and mint aromas. Creative Juice Essential Oil Ingredients: Citrus Bergamia (Bergamot) Bergaptene-Free Oil, Citrus X Limon (Lemon) Oil, Elettaria Cardamomum (Cardamom) Seed Oil.
Not sure how many batches this will make since I haven't used it all yet. BUT, I've made three batches so far (1 batch = 2 gallons of soap) and one gallon of this soap = 120 loads if I use a 1/4 cup per load. (if you use a top loader washer, you may want to use 1/2 cup due to the amount of water used per load). I have a front loader washer! just in case you were wondering. :)
So, I figured it up, a 1.17 gallon bottle of a brand name laundry soap (in a red bottle and starts with a T) costs $20.46 and gives you 96 loads. I have made 6 gallons of soap so far (still have lots of product left to make more) for roughly the same price (I'm including the cost of essential oils), giving me 720 loads... 96 loads VS 720+ loads AND I'm doing it with natural products....
WOW. This post is getting longer and longer. LOL
I'll be posting later today on a clever trick I found on another lovely lady's blog on how to save money when using the dryer. ;) It works and is also helping us get laundry DONE and put away quicker! Bonus!

Casual Real Weddings Vintage Chic
Casual Vintage
Al Fresco Garden

Baby's Breath Hydrangea
I think I found a new favorite venue, and it's the Little White House. I fell head over heels for the pretty space the minute I laid eyes on this wedding, which just so happens to be the most charming, most lovely soiree I've seen in some time. With a crazy gorgeous white color palette and a beautiful couple celebrating their obvious love, you can't help but love every single moment captured beautifully by Dragonflight Photography. Lucky for all of us, there is even more sitting pretty right here.
From Dragonflight Photography…I love Little White House and all things French, girlie, tea party related, white, and vintage. With photographs at an estate home in Crescent beach and beautiful photos at Little White House, Langley. Parisian influence and back yard charm exudes from this wedding! Cathy and Paul knew how to 'play'. They know how to make each other laugh and just let go and play around. From Paul picking up his beautiful girl and twirling her around, and Cathy tugging on Paul's shirt and blushing. It was easy to see they are very much in love. It all started at the Casino in Coquitlam. They played games, and enjoyed the lounge before heading off to dinner. Cathy found Paul to be a charmer even with his 'one liners'. After parting ways and driving their separate ways home after a date that would forever change their lives. Paul called halfway through the drive just to say 'he couldn't stop smiling'. Cathy on the other end of the phone never stopped smiling either.

» Infant Formula Marketing
A 2013 CDC study shows that the majority (68.6 percent) of U.S. hospitals no longer distribute industry-sponsored samples of infant formula to breastfeeding mothers.[1] Formula makers use this insidious marketing tactic to encourage mothers to feed their babies formula instead of breastfeeding. Mothers who receive formula samples are less likely to breastfeed exclusively and breastfeed for shorter periods of time. Yet, healthcare providers agree that breastfeeding for the first six months of life offers crucial, long-term benefits for children. It's time to end this dangerous practice and protect children's health.

i know that i do 2s as resto with my husband playing a arm warrior, and we did 11-1 last week, but im not sure for Enh thou
i did saw few combo enh/bm hunter, they hit pretty hard...
but personally, i would try with a ret pally
Thanks. For that info I had heard bm hunters some were in passing now that I think of it. Just kind of hard to fin teammates when your enhance it seems like.
How about another Enhancement? I've heard they're pretty OP.
You need to have something that can keep you alive for more than 20 seconds. Warrior or ret paladin are probably the best. Or a healer, but enh/healer is a mediocre comp if you aren't really good.
I think IT might work with a shadow priest. He just needs to heal you a lot and you peel for him.
Feral Druid.
Best CC + peel + burst with Enhancement.
Plus, the druid gets Feral Spirits and you get Solar Beam from Symbiosis.
i played some enh/feral for fun the other day. you can basically set up an infinite cc chain. beam, capacitor, hex, clone, clone, bash/maim. do ferals takes disorient? add that in too. its insane, the burstttttt. but still vs a cleave like warr/bm, a feral cant keep you peeled and alive more than 20 seconds unless you both play like gods.

Try an arms warrior. Thats what im going with and its pretty good. They'll always focus you, so just let the warrior jump in and do all those stuns while you stay behind a pillar and wait for them to focus him. Jump in and pop everything. My partner and I can easily take out a healer/dps combo, we actually best a elite arms/ elite resto too

Frank Lautenberg made it clear this summer that he has a big love for Lady Gaga. The octogenarian isn't even up for reelection this fall, but just to pad his war chest a little, he hosted a fundraiser at a Gaga concert. For a mere $2,400—the maximum individual donation amount allowed by law—one could join him and his wife in their box at the Verizon Center in DC. He wasn't playing about his affection; for his 86th birthday in January, he went to a Gaga show at Radio City Music Hall. No Rockettes for this Democratic senator from New Jersey. The invitation noted that this would be "a once-in-a-lifetime event." Apparently not, if the dude is a groupie and goes to plenty of her shows, but okay.
Jim Moran, who is running for reelection, along with every other Congressperson, had to put out a content warning along with his fundraiser invite, because he planned to take donors along to a production of Hair at the Kennedy Center. I guess it's clear he's not a Tea Party-affiliated candidate for office.
Washington, DC is in high gear for fundraisers, and not just for these midterm elections. The end of September and start of October saw a mind-numbing 400 fundraiser events in the city, where fat cat donations are still the norm. Many of these fundraisers are staid affairs in private homes in wealthier sections of town like Georgetown, Cleveland Park, and the like, but some of these get-togethers will be a little unorthodox, humorous, or eyebrow-raising. Consider the following from this election cycle:
- A bourbon tasting with Senator Mitch McConnell. Wow, when does the fun begin?
- A luncheon date for Cory Gardner with one of the biggest lobbyists from BP. Yes, that BP. Hey, Gardner's from Colorado, so it's not his concern what happened in the Gulf, right?
- Dennis Miller, who lasted all of one season on Monday Night Football, headlined an event for Nevada Senate candidate Sharron Angle. Did anyone get his jokes?
- GOProud, a gay Republican group, hosted "Homocon" in New York City. Who headlined? Why, Ann Coulter, of course. And GOProud, which makes no claims on its Web site to push civil rights for uh, gays, has already had no less than $1M raised by none other than Ken Mehlman. Yes, that Ken Mehlman. Oh Log Cabin, you are so last millennium.
Fundraisers have outpaced even the 2008 election cycle, which I'm sure we all remember. So far, 2010 fundraisers have brought in more than $1B ($1.2B to be more precise). Even Tea Party candidates, for all of their anger at the government, have shown up to take people's (and PAC) checks. Joe Miller of Alaska went to five events in 48 hours. Now that's hard work, Joe.
There are the lobbyist-led events; organizations from the American Medical Association to regional power companies, and powerful K Street lobby firms bundle events together. Your $2,400 check will get you an audience with three, not just one, GOP candidate running for office as you dine on very nice small plates from Bistro Bis, a stone's throw from the Capitol Building. There are the more traditional wine and cheese parties, and yes, there are the NSFW invites to see people look like hippies decrying a war we're not fighting anymore. And then there is Dennis Miller.
When the Supreme Court made its ruling on election fundraising at the beginning of this year, pundits wondered how it would change the money behind our elections. The Federal Elections Commission has not yet issued rules to comport with SCOTUS' decision, and lobbyists and companies so far have been reluctant to get too close to any campaign. Imagine: Pampers Supports Mitch McConnell! It just doesn't sound right. But this may be the last election before any new rulemaking is present for the people behind fundraising to abide. Or twist.
Now then, how much did Lautenberg take home from his escapade with the pop star diva? Al Kamen from The Washington Post did some guesswork:
Let's take, for example, a typical event at Verizon Center. Generally, if a luxury suite is available, we understand they can be rented for somewhere between $4,000 and $8,000. There are a range of seats available in each suite, but let's say the suite has 20 seats, plus two for the candidate and spouse. The campaign pays for the food and booze. So figure $100 per for that. Brings you to around $10,000 or so. You charge $2,500 a head for a political action committee. So that's $50,000. The campaign nets $40,000, minus some expenses.
Not bad, Mr. Lautenberg. Now show us your pokerface.

Proponents call it necessary for bridging a societal gap. Opponents call it wasteful and beyond the point of reform. Call it what you like, the long-running controversial "Obamaphone" debate has once again been ignited. FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler has announced a proposal to extend the Lifeline phone subsidy program, better known as the "Obamaphone," to now cover the internet.
The name of the game was transparency during Wednesday's Communications and Technology Subcommittee hearing, where several proposed draft bills were voted to move forward to the full committee. The proposed bills were introduced in light of the FCC's recent Open Internet Order, a massive new regulatory regime that prompted many complaints about the process under which it was released. Subcommittee Chairman Greg Walden opened the hearing with remarks on the overwhelming need for the FCC to change its decision making process in such a way as to increase transparency and consumer access. Chairman Walden stated, "[t]he FCC's work doesn't only impact the industries that it regulates, but as daily consumers of communications services, our own lives as well."
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) just released its final rules on how they will regulate the internet. You know, the rules they voted to pass several weeks ago. Better late than never, I guess.
Last week, I wrote about how a number of pro-Net Neutrality groups are unhappy with the FCC's decision to broadly regulate internet service providers as telecommunications utilities, applying the text of a decades-old law to the most rapidly-moving and innovative sector in our economy.
Last Thursday the Federal Communications Commission voted 3-2 to regulate broadband internet as a public utility. This decision to regulate the internet was made mostly through secret meetings without public comment and less than a decade after the FCC declined to regulate the internet because there was no necessity. Even worse, because the 300-plus page new rule has not been made public yet, we still do not know exactly what is in the rule. Since the Federal Trade Commission already has the authority to protect consumers from anticompetitive business practices, the FCC's new rules are another example of government trying to fix a problem that is nonexistent. The new rules may in fact harm consumers both by limiting competition, and by preventing the FTC from filing charges against internet providers once they are determined to be common carriers.
The FCC's recent decision to reclassify the internet as a utility is ruffling some feathers, but not the ones you might expect. The Federal Communications Commission, acting under orders from the president, has been largely successful in representing its decision as a matter of Net Neutrality, of regulating the specific ways in which service providers can manage bandwidth.
Today, the Federal Communications Commission voted 3-2 in favor of a controversial proposal to regulate the internet as a public utility, similar to telephone calls. The vote came as expected, down party lines with the three Democrats supporting and the two Republicans opposed. The decision is no surprise, but it leaves us with two questions that need to be answered: What does this mean, and where do we go from here?
February is going to be a big month for Net Neutrality. Following a public request by the president, Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Chairman Tom Wheeler announced that he will circulate a new rule on February 5th among the five FCC chairmen. The Commission will then hold a vote on whether to release the rule on February 26th.
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC), spurred on by impassioned words from President Obama, is itching to enact stricter internet regulations next year. But there is a growing resistance among Republican lawmakers that could stop the agency in its tracks.

In the telling of a story the narrator takes a bit from life as definitely and completely as one would cut out a paper doll, trimming away all of the flimsy sheet excepting the figure. A section of real life is not so detached and finished, for the causes and consequences of it reach backward and forward and across the world....
There are those who would call it the end of the story.... To say the story is finished is not true, for no mere story can ever be complete, no family history contain a beginning or an end. One may only cut out a bit from life, trimming away all that went before and all that will come after.
