One Piece - Chapter 567 (manga)
Welcome to the weekly manga discussion thread for One Piece.
Thread Guidelines
Nothing like a new spoiler to kick off the week, eh? A small summary is now out (of course, credit goes to aohige for translation):
-Whitebeard fights Aokiji. Whitebeard gets frozen, but it turns out that the admiral's frosty powers have no effect on the mighty emperor. Whitebeard then enhances his spear with what may be either Haki or his earthquake power (apparently the spoiler provider wasn't certain about this,) and attacks Aokiji. However, the attack proved ineffective against the admiral. Jozu then appears and tackles Aokiji, knocking him back. Aokiji is bleeding from his mouth, but Whitebeard looks to be in much worse shape......
-Meanwhile, Luffy is fighting against Momonga and apparently a second VA, as well (again, the spoiler provider isn't too sure). However, both VAs are skilled Rokushiki users (YES, my prediction came true! ), and Luffy is once again biting off more than he can chew. Furthermore, Kizaru decides to follow up on the assault and blows Luffy away towards Whitebeard's location (and apparently he's been KO'ed, since his eyes turned white.....). Whitebeard tells Luffy that he did a good job, and Akainu appears. Whitebeard vs. Akainu is now imminent......
-Marco is about to rescue Ace when Garp attacks him with his fist. The VA tells Marco that he'll have to kill him first if he intends to save Ace.....
Well now, this chapter sounds like a winner already from this small summary alone! I'm glad to learn that we're getting some action from the Buster Call VAs (by the way, I'm hoping that it's Doberman who's fighting with Momonga). Too bad everyone's picking on Luffy, though I know this was to be expected, anyway (after all, he was warned several times beforehand that he'd be an ant compared to the mighty forces clashing in this war....).
It looks like Whitebeard's injuries are giving him a bit of trouble against the admirals (I know the summary said he shrugged off getting frozen, but I really wonder about that....). Also, it's funny to see that Jozu got away with tackling a Logia for a second time (I still wouldn't be so hasty to jump to the conclusion that he's using Haki, though). Garp vs. Marco sounds sweet as well, but I wonder where Sengoku is? Maybe he'll interrupt Akainu mid-fight so he can have a piece of Whitebeard? Hmmm.....
Well, the full summary + pics should be out in a couple days' time......

The spoiler sounds uber-cool, so here's hoping that it is legit. Luffy taking on 2 Rokushiki users sounds almost suicidal (can you just imagine fighting 2 Luccis ?)). And Garp finally stepping forward to live up to his position sounds majorly cool. There's only what, 2...3 weeks until the month long break, and Oda seems to be planning on packing as much action in to these next few chapters as he can...

Yeah, I'm glad that my prediction about the VAs being Rokushiki users seems to be true. Those VAs are probably a lot stronger than Lucci, as well (remember, Momonga was an active VA when Lucci was still a kid), so they'd definitely be extremely troublesome opponents for Luffy. Let's just hope that don't spam the Roku Ougan technique on him.....
Also, if Garp has a Fist of Love, I wonder if he has a Fist of Hate, as well?

Even without the full summary, it seems Sengoku won't be fighting this chapter yet. Hope he does get his hands dirty soon enough.
And Garp vs Marco... oh boy, badassery at its maximal.

Luffy is getting gangbanged to hard. Getting wounded previous chapter bye Ao Kiji and now Kizaru and two VAs keep attacking him, give the rookie a break! And I wonder how long it'll take before he gets back on his feet. WB's approval is cool and all but Luffy just can't be done in for good for this arc yet.
And kind of surprised Garp decided to move, here I thougth he would just keep sitting on the sidelines but he actually decides to stop Marco. Marco couldn't have gotten a worse opponent, kind of hope Luffy be the one to talk, yell or slap some sense in to him cause Garp can't be a serious opponent or I'll be dissapointed in him forever. He can't seriously stop people trying to save someone he considers his grandchild, could he? Well can't wait to find out the next comming weeks cause Garp was one of the persons who interested me the most this war and finally his turn is comming up.

BTW, still hoping that Buggy is defrosted soon. If Whitebeard can shrug off getting frozen, then so can the future Pirate God!
Anyways, I wonder if we'll see get any more action than what was described in the summary? I'm actually pretty interested in Crocoboy vs. Dofla, if for no other reason than to see who will be the one to stand triumphant in the Battle of the Pimps.

WB, Joz, Marco or Luffy nobody could've done something to prevent Ace's death and Garp didn't move an inch.
Ace is as good as dead in Garp's mind.

I'm curious in their fight too. Like I said before in a previous post. I'm curious to how Doflamingo's power work against a Logia user, because I don't know how he can control something that's not solid.

I dunno.... I think Dofla running a slave-trading operation at Sabaody is already proof enough of his "pimpness". I mean, he's been making a fortune off literally selling bodies for years.....
Y'know, I wonder what (original) Kuma is up to? We haven't really seen much action from him these past few chapters, have we? If he has the slightest bit of humanity left in him, methinks he should heal Luffy again because the poor kid is gonna experience real hell when Iva's hormones wear off......

And without Garp focusing on Ace (and assuming Sengoku went on rage and isn't in the plataform anymore either), I wonder if someone couldn't sneak over there? Too bad Luffy's out for this chapter...

That being said, Shirohige vs. Akainu sounds the most interesting so far (sorry Garp), if for no other reason than Akainu is the one who tricked Squado. Then again, I think it would be cool if Squado and the other NW Captains were the ones to battle Akainu (for the same reasons that Shirohige would want to kick Aka-kun's ass).

pretty sure Sengoku still has the afro... if you look at his pic on the last page of the previous chapter you see his hair is puffy around the hat, so it appears that the hat is just pushing down on the center of the afro.

And I take Marco's words over your opinion. Especially due to what James pointed out, if he could save Luffy from Ao Kiji with the other 2 admirals beeing near them then he could've surely saved Ace from getting executed bye two low tier marines to.

So, this is the first time that we've seen Aokiji take some serious damage. It took long enough, didn't it ? Akainu is most likely next since he's going to contend with Whitebeard.
I'm really glad to know that Momonga and whoever that other vice admiral is are not pushovers in the least bit. I can't wait to see them utilize their rokushiki skills and lay the smackdown on Luffy .
As for Kizaru defeating Luffy, I'm perfectly fine with this. Luffy had no chance against the most formidable opposition (Sengoku, 3 admirals, and Garp) that stood in his way, so it was only inevitable that he would eventually get destroyed if he crossed paths with said opposition. He's been getting "free rides" anyways. Ivankov's hormones have kept him awake and energized for such a long time, and his powerful allies have had to save his ass on numerous occasions. It's about time his luck ran out.

^And now the set-up is complete for Luffy to unleash his full "ambition" . No one else is backing him up now, and his strength is almost gone, so all that is left is his indomitable will. If this spoiler is true, I expect a fully fledged Haki "blast" from Luffy sometime in the next 3 chapters (or at least before the break).

I have been feeling a little uninspired since I got back from my trip. I think it's mostly due to the weather over here. It's been freezing, snowing, raining, etc. All I've wanted to do is stay home and be in bed. So bad. So today I forced myself to get a little creative and try something different.
Jacket: C/O Romwe/ Skirt: Forever21/ Top: Target/ Thigh Highs: C/O VienneMilano
Glasses: GeekGoneChic/ Tights: H&M/ Booties: Steve Madden
I have been wanting to try thigh highs for awhile now. It's a trend that always seems to make its way back. However I was always hesitant because they're super sexy and I wanted to make sure I still looked classy. Vienne Milano is a luxury hosiery brand made in Italy. Their thigh highs come with a silicone band making them super comfortable to wear. When they reached out to me I knew it was my time to give it a try. You can obviously wear thigh highs without showing that they're thigh highs. They're perfect to wear underneath a dress or skirt without having to show a pantyhose line. Or you can also let them show and wear them with mini skirts/dresses and shorts which is what I have seen a lot of lately. I actually decided to wear them over sheer black tights because I didn't want to show my skin.
I've mentioned many times that I wear mostly gold, so I have been trying to switch it up lately by adding more silver pieces into my looks. When I saw this silver metallic jacket on Romwe I wanted to try it out. It's super cute and I love the zipper details. Romwe has some really great finds!

"A work must show people struggling for change, not holding on to their little piles of power." Join Dixie Treichel & John Townsend
on Fresh Fruit November 17, 2011 at 7pm for an evening about the arts & corporations with guests Maxine Klein & Patrick Scully.
Patrick Scully
Founder of Patrick's Cabaret, dancer, performance artist, educator, activist
Patrick Scully is an openly gay man who started performing professionally in 1976 and began his independent performing artist career in 1980. From 1976-1980 he was a member and co-founder of Contactworks Dance Collective where he was involved in teaching, choreographing and performing. Patrick founded Patrick's Cabaret in 1986 that is still open today in 2011. It is a queer friendly eclectic performing venue that mixes all styles of art and people. He exited as the cabaret's Artistic Director in October of 2001, leaving behind a healthy performing art center committed to local artists. The New York Times' included him as one of the "Best Performances of the Year" in 1992 for his performance at Dance Theater Workshop and in 1993 Skyway News inducted him into its arts registry for outstanding contributions to the Twin Cities Arts. His work as the director of Patrick's Cabaret was recognized in 1996 for its vision with a Sally Award and today he is an independent performer and educator. Patrick believes in censure free art and that artists in all genres should not let organizations or funding dictate artistic expression.
Maxine Klein
Director, playwright, educator, author, activist
Maxine Klein has a career in political theater that spans over half a century and includes more than 100 productions. She founded the Little Flaggs Theatre Company in Boston in the 1970s that produced provocative political theater and performed nationally and internationally in all kinds of venues from theaters to factories. She is an Obie Award winning director and playwright and the author of four theater books, including Theatre for the 98% (1978). Maxine has also collaborated, directed, and taught with La Mama e.t.c in NYC, Tyrone Guthrie and Howard Zinn as well as Twin Cities theater companies including Bedlam Theatre and Candid Theater. Her plays are currently performed around the country and include The Furies of Mother Jones and Ambush. She is outspoken for the rights of all people, especially those whose voices are rarely heard, and believes activism through the arts can change people's lives. She is currently a professor of theater at MCTC. Maxine is quoted as saying, "A work must show people struggling for change, not holding on to their little piles of power. Today's critical playwright is too often pressured, coerced, influenced, and seduced into supporting the status quo in form and content. The artist is shackled, the audience is robbed, the theater impoverished."

OSM: Spatial Manipulation Toy
The new way of twiddling one's thumbs.
- A sculptural toy that turns inside out like an endless 3D kaleidoscope.
- Click them apart and recombine them for an endless amount of lengths and patterns.
- OSM is pronounced "awesome."
And so, to make a long story short (too late!), we captured the UFO and used their alien technology to advance the pastime of thumb twiddling. Oh, you should have been there. Well, at least you can enjoy the fruits of our labors with this other-worldly named OSM: Spatial Manipulation Toy. Read on, till truth make all things plain.
Each OSM: Spatial Manipulation Toy is six discs combined in a very special way. If you turn them inside out (or outside in), they will form a sort of 3d kaleidoscope. Plus, since each disc is detachable, you can combine to form new patterns and lengths. Just the thing for idle hands to enjoy losing their idleness to. As you manipulate your OSM: Spatial Manipulation Toy, you'll realize (somehow) that OSM stands for Object for Spatial Manipulation and it's pronounced "awesome."
OSM: Spatial Manipulation Toy
- Turn it inside out and watch the endless, 3D, kaleidoscopic pattern.
- A much more enjoyable way to pass time and keep your hands nimble than twiddling your thumbs.
- Great stress reliever. Adding your own meditating sounds is optional.
- Lead, phthalate, and BPA-free.
- Pull them apart and make your own patterns and length.
- Available in Black or White (or get one of each and mix-and-match).
- Dimension: approx. 3.75" x 3.75" x 1.75"

Spyders rebound in return home, 5-2 over Mishawaka
PLYMOUTH — Some late big innings proved costly for Post 27 at the Terre Haute Tournament last week. It felt good to be on the other side back at their home field Thursday.
The Diamond Spyders broke a 1-1 tie with four runs in the bottom of the fifth and held on for a 5-2 win over visiting Mishawaka Post 161 in Post 27's return to Bill Nixon Field.
"As the week progressed we're four outs away from being 3-1 and playing for the championship. When you give up 14 runs in the seventh inning and you can't close ballgames out you're not going to win many of them," said Post 27 manager Will Hostrawser of the Terre Haute tourney. "But tonight we had another tight ballgame, and our kids bounced back and stayed focused and got some runs late. We're looking forward to the next time we take the diamond."
Locked in a 1-1 stalemate, the Spyders got to Post 161 starter Jimmy Catanzarite in the bottom of the order's second time at the plate Thursday.
Culver Community's Nick Pritz — who started the game's scoring with a solo shot to left in the second inning — sparked the big fifth with a looping single into center. Clayton Adamson bunted him over to second to set the table for John Glenn's Kyle Liedtky, whose frozen rope down the right field line landed just fair, scoring Pritz and landing Liedtky at second. Glenn teammate Drew McDonald followed up with a single into shallow center that moved Liedtky to third, then stole second on the first pitch of Shay Hepler's at-bat as the top of the order came around to face Catanzarite a third time, and his chopper through the gap at second plated both Liedtky and McDonald.
Tanner Hampton singled and Bremen's Eric Knepper drew a walk to load the bases with one out, bringing Keith Gaboury up to the mound to relieve Catanzarite, and Gaboury staunched the bleeding as Jared Lemler hit back to him for a fielder's choice ball that scored Hepler, and Ferguson fanned for the third out, leaving runners at first and third with the home team leading 5-1.
Mishawaka answered back with a run in the top of the sixth as Anthony Piraccini cranked a lead-off double to the centerfield fence in Tyler Niespodziany's first batter faced relieving Ferguson, scoring on a Dylan Cressy groundout to second, but the visitors never got any closer as Niespodziany worked his way out of a jam in the top of the seventh to close out the game.
"We've been having problems getting on base, but when we do get guys on and in scoring position we actually take advantage of it," said Hostrawser of his team's big fifth. "The problem is we just don't do it all that often. The kids broke it open. They got a little tired on the mound; they made a pitching change, and I thought our kids adjusted well at the plate and cornered the pitcher on hitters' counts and took advantage of it."
The Spyders outhit Mishawaka by a slim 8-6 margin, but they strung five of those hits together in the decisive fifth.
McDonald, Pritz and Hampton — who made the highlight defensive play of the night in the seventh with a diving stop at short and a throw from his back for the force out at second — each finished with two hits at the game, and Pritz accounted for two of his team's runs. He staked his team to an early 1-0 lead with a four-bagger in the bottom of the second, taking Catanzarite deep to left on a fastball count to start the scoring for the night.
"I think he's kind of grown into this a little bit," said Hostrawser of Pritz. "He's a great athlete: He's got a good stride running; he's got a real strong arm. He's very patient at the plate, and he's been a really good two-strike hitter as well. Even when he falls behind in the count, he stays aggressive and swings with a fairly high amount of bat speed. Tonight he got ahold of one on a 3-1 pitch and drove it out of here. He's certainly got that capability any time he steps to the plate."
Ferguson was steady on the mound as he moved to 2-1 giving up four hits and three walks for an unearned run lasting through five innings, and Niespodziany got the save surrendering two hits with a walk and a strikeout in the final two frames.
"We've noticed his pitch count approach is 60, 65 he gets a little tired in the legs, starts throwing up in the zone a little bit, and he's worked on some endurance a little bit," Hostrawser said of Ferguson. "He fought through a rough inning there and got to a point where we made a change, and Niespo came in. He did not make the trip with us down to Terre Haute, so he had fresh legs and a fresh arm. I think he was a little rocky with his command right out of the gate, but then he got ahold of things and started doing a nice job."
Post 27 moves to 5-7 and is still solidifying its lineup just three weeks into the American Legion season. The Spyders will take the weekend off before playing their next game versus Valparaiso Post 94 at Chesterton High School Monday at 7 p.m. The team then travels to Concord for a rematch with Bristol Post 143 Wednesday, after which the Spyders hit the road for five games at the River Bandit Invitational at Defiance College in Defiance, Ohio next Friday through Sunday before returning home to host the Patriot Tournament July 4-7.
"I kind of break your season into thirds. Your first third of the season you're kind of bumping people around in the lineup, shifting your order around seeing who can hit where and who's going to be the most consistent," said Hostrawser. "We look a lot at on-base percentage in terms of offense, and there are certain guys that are more skilled at bunting or at hitting and running. We're discovering that about the kids and still shifting things around."

The poodle is a group of formal dog breeds, the Standard Poodle, Miniature Poodle and Toy Poodle. The origins of the poodles are still discussed with a dispute over whether the poodle descends from the old French Barbet breed or from Germany as a type of water dog, however at the creation of the standard, Germany officially recognised the Poodle as a dog originating from France.
Ranked second most intelligent dog breed just behind the Border Collie, the poodle is skillful in many dog sports and activities, including agility, obedience, tracking to herding, circus performers or assistance dogs. Poodles have taken top honors in many conformation shows, including "Best in Show" at the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show in 1991 and 2002, and at the World Dog Show in 2007 and 2010.
Toy Poodles won "Best in Show" at Crufts in 1966 and 1982. Standard Poodles achieved the award in 1955, 1985, 2002, and 2014. The 2002 winner came from Norway and was the first overseas exhibit to win the Crufts best in show award.[10][11]

Re: Nice idea, but...wardriving illegal?Only if you connect to the open network and use it or capture the content being sent/received.
What should be illegal is wasting a policeman's time like this. This must be the brainchild of a politician - one who panders with no concern of wasted tax dollars - a standard Canberra bastard.

Depends on how you define "wardriving". You need to be more specific.

Uh, the crime of connecting and utilizing a wireless network that isn't yours, idiot.
What's that? Oh, that's NOT illegal? You mean we don't all have to put locks on everything to keep people out of everything we own? You mean my neighbors AREN'T my enemy? Are you sure?
Retraction: you were right.

Re: Re: Re: I think it's a good ideaSince it's indirectly a comment to my entry (#2) I'll reply to it. Nowhere in the article does it mention that they are doing it to prevent people to use an open WiFi connection for surfing, which is and should be legal.
There was however a mention that they would like to help people get secure WiFi's (which is NOT the same as closed). Unsecure WiFi's are used to break into the computers which is a crime. The police is there to prevent and solve crime. See the connection (not WiFi) now?
Maybe it's hard to read articles in a helmet that big.

Re: Re: Re: I think it's a good ideaWell first of all, spam is usually sent using botnets, not open wireless networks. Shutting down open connections would do exactly nothing to stop this.
As for other illegal uses of the internet connection, having open networks does make it a little harder to investigate but it's hardly the major enabling factor. There's plenty of places where you can get easy wireless access without much risk of being caught (e.g. bars with wifi - hide in a corner and nobody notices what's on your screen).
Plus, forcing the shutting down of open networks may simply provide a false sense of security. Anyone clueless enough to not know that their wireless is open would probably use the simplest method to "secure" their connection - i.e. WEP. Anyone intent on using a connection for illegal activity would still be able to access such connection with relative ease, and the homeowner who currently uses the "SODDI defence" legitimately has a much more difficult time of proving his innocence.

Those things existed long before there was even any such thing as WiFi, open or not. So your assertion that they can be eliminated by eliminating open WiFi I think is provably false.

Australia = (USA - 7 years)*1.01"I honestly had to double check the date on this story, because it sounds like something we heard seven years ago about the US Secret Service doing wardriving and alerting open WiFi router owners that their WiFi was open."
It's no surprise, really. Countries like Australia are generally seven years behind the USA in most everything: social mores, technology, brains, living conditions, etc. It's par-for-the-course that the authority figures down under are just now coming up with this invasion of privacy. They probably think that it was their brilliant idea (and will copyright it).
You'd think with the speed at which information can travel, it would arrive in Australia in less than seven years. Can someone check the under-ocean cables? Information moving at the speed of stupidity.

I am Australian - Well excuse meThere's a joke about Australian intellect: "When a New Zealander emigrates to Australia the IQ of both countries goes up."
A policy of having any WiFi equipment sold in Australia having a default random security lock would be a better and cheaper partial solution. Also, a cheap public education campaign would be effective. This is a complete waste of police resources.
I have occasionally scanned my neighborhood for open WiFi. I have not seen any open networks in 2 years.
discojohnson, 23 Jul 2009 @ 10:52am
Re: I am Australian - Well excuse meI scan mine as well, and almost all are WEP "encrypted" as a default on the major DSL provider here. I just leave mine open and use MAC filtering as some of my devices are WEP, WPA and a few WPA2.. Sure it's not perfect, but at least I turned off SSID broadcasting, which would seem to be one of the simplest things to do to keep people moving along for an easy target. If folks want to get on your network, they will.
Anonymous Coward, 23 Jul 2009 @ 10:52amI actually think this is a good idea as long as they are just informing the public of the dangers and not forcing people to lock up their wireless.
look at it this way: you devote two cops in a single car to patrolling for each city. one cop drives, the other has a laptop. Then they patrol neighborhoods (rather than setting up speed traps) and they make the cops a visible presence to cut down on other types of crime as well.
Properly done it does just means that the partner who isn't driving is doing something educational and useful for the public while they are making themselves a very visible presence to deter real crime and patrolling so that they will be on the move and hopefully in the area for when a crime is reported.
I wish the cops around here would do some actual patrolling instead of just setting speed traps, you never see a cop around here unless they are ticketing someone or doing a drug bust (during which ALL the cops try to get in on it)

How To Behave: The New Rules for Highly Evolved Humans
Leave Your Wi-Fi Open
Everyone with a Wi-Fi network has had to wrestle with this conundrum: Should you leave your network open for anyone to use, or is that asking for trouble?
Let's start by dispensing with the legalities. Unless your ISP is one of a handful that officially don't care, knowingly letting a neighbor share your connection likely violates your terms of service. [...]
Even so, you should share your Wi-Fi. [..........]

fishbane, 23 Jul 2009 @ 11:48amThose saying that it is good public education, etc. should answer why it is cops doing this. Should trash collectors educate the public on wasting water?
It is silly for cops to do this. Granting, arguendo, that it is a good idea (not something I believe, but-) spending scarce resources on using public servants that many are already intimidated by to "educate" people on a topic that cops are likely uneducated in themselves is wasteful.
It is a misuse of public authority.
Anonymous Coward, 23 Jul 2009 @ 12:33pm
Re:I already explained why it makes sense for cops to do this. it gets them to patrol the neighborhoods for other activities if they weren't already.
If they were patrolling the neighborhoods like they should (would be the first city I've hear that is like that) then it doesn't take any extra resources because the partner in the car can do it ( really they just leave the program running while they patrol around)
so the actual benefit of doing these for education is minimal but it makes cops patrol neighborhoods, something few cops do, and doesn't actually put a significant burden on the force. It isn't like a cop won't answer a robbery or other crime because he is busy wardriving a neighborhood. ideally it means that the cops will me able to respond to a scene faster.

Open WiFiI don't care if they're just looking for the nearest McDonalds for lunch, I'd rather have police driving through my area than not driving through. Police presence is a deterrent.
I'll be quite happy if they note that someone's been warned. Then if that person gets hit with something they can't use the excuse of an open WiFi and it wasn't them (which I think is a stupid excuse to start with).

Re: Open WiFiI don't care if they're just looking for the nearest McDonalds for lunch, I'd rather have police driving through my area than not driving through. Police presence is a deterrent.
So how is wardriving by the cops required for that? Wouldn't it be better if they were going house to house, rattling the doorknobs and trying the windows to make sure they're locked instead? Residential burglary is a much larger problem, after all.
Anonymous Coward, 23 Jul 2009 @ 1:29pmLast year in India, there was a case where a terrorist/his accomplice used an open wifi connection to send warning mails & plan an attack. Eventually he was caught and now Department of Telecommunications requires all wifi connections to be registered.
Good neighbors or clueless suckers?
According to the article linked in the post:
He [Detective Superintendent Brian Hay] said it was illegal to use someone else's network bandwidth without their permission, even if that bandwidth was not used to commit another crime such as identity theft.
I have no idea whether this is established in Australian law, or whether leaving a network unsecured is free from the implication that access is permitted. If so, then it would seem reasonable to alert citizens to open networks, since anyone using them would be committing a crime unless they had previously obtained permission of the owner of the wireless equipment (in which case they could easily obtain a network key as well).
It troubles me that I can't recommend leaving Wi-Fi open, as a "good neighbor" policy — indeed, I've availed myself of open Wi-Fi when my own equipment was experiencing a glitch and I needed to access the Internet to learn what to do about it! Still, as basic CYA, I find myself compelled to suggest to anyone whom I advise regarding Wi-Fi to lock it down. Even for those not sharing files on the local network, I fear some nefarious use of their connection might be traced back to them. Beating it in court is rarely the point... practical damage is done long before a verdict of any sort is rendered.
Anonymous Coward, 23 Jul 2009 @ 2:12pm
Re: Good neighbors or clueless suckers?well that is why if you want that, you can name the SSID as something like "free Wifi be good" or other ways of showing that you mean to leave it open for neighbors. that is direct consent to use the WAP. it also shows that you have a history of just letting people use your wireless, which helps a SODDI defense

Anonymous Coward, 24 Jul 2009 @ 12:14pm
The Real ReasonThe real reason they are doing this is to intimidate people.
Generally speaking, most cops hate freedom (except their own, of course). This especially includes the freedom to communicate freely and anonymously. Now open WiFi facilitates such communication, so of course the cops aren't going to like it. So while open WiFi may not be illegal (yet), that doesn't stop them from showing up with guns at people's doors, getting in their face and "warning" them about it. This lets people know that the cops have made note of their activities and aren't at all happy about it without the cops having to explicitly say so. Most people, even if their WiFi was open on purpose, probably don't want trouble with the police and will be intimidated enough to shut it down. Purpose served.

letter to police commissioner of police, sydney, AustraliaTo
The Commissioner of Police
South Australia Police department,
Respected Sir,
With the due respect, we are here to share some comments on the recent attack at sydney, Australia to Indian students.
And we totally support for the action which had been taken by Sydney, Australian police department.
These Indian deserve the attack and they will suffer more in future.
let me introduce ourself. We are from India. We are Indian.
You might be wondering, even we Indian and why we are not supporting for Indian students?.
Well India has 28 different states and each have different culture and their own languages.
And we are from Northeastern states of India;
in which Nagaland, Manipur, Meghalaya, Mizoram, Tripura, Arunachal Pradesh,
Assam, ladak and Sikkim. In total almost 9 states are there.
The interesting fact is that all these northeastern sates, their race have came from chinese and some have came from thailand
descend. So we look different from those Indian from India. We are minority as compare to other sates.
We are from India but we don't consider ourself as Indian because; they discriminate us in our race and there are no equal opportunities.
Our religion are Christian as majority and Bhuddhism are also there.
And we have our own language and we don't speak Hindi.
We have totally different mentality from them. And we are!
India is governed or controlled by those Indian from Northern sates; which are Himachal Pradesh,
Punjab, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Haryana, Jammu and Kashmir, Delhi, Maharashtra and Madhya Pradesh.
These states are Hindu majority and they speak Hindi. and also all south states combined together.
So Why we are saying these things? because we want to explain the general facts that what are really happening
in the India.
As you know Delhi is capital city of India. And students from whole different part of Indian state come to
study in college and universities in Delhi.
We students from Northeastern part of India and foreigners from USA, Australia, Europe and Canada
who come to study, since we are minority, we face discrimination, killing, tortune and rape cases most of the time.
These things are common in India. Crime and discrimination is common in India.
Such cruel are these people, They are really a bloody Indian.
Show no mercy on these Indian who commit crime, we urge you!
Australia police have total support from us.
Indian are the worst people in this world.
They have no discipline and whereever they go, they make the places in garbage.
So from Northeastern sates of India, we the people from India totally support for the action
that has been taken to Indian student at sydney in Australia.
Don't let them standup, bend them down.
This is karma. Indian students are paying the price where
they are doing to us and foreigners in India.
They should suffer and suffer more and more, we people of northeastern states of India urge that to you!
Whatever Australian people and police are doing, are right.
Kick them out!
Thanking you.
yours sincerely
representative from northeastern sate of India.

Fly Away Amelia
By: Luke B.
Illinois, Age 11
First Woman to fly a plane and around the world, who is this? A girl born in Kansas, July 5, 1897. Well, this girl is Amelia Earhart, the first woman to attempt to fly around the world. First of all, she did not do it for the fun of it, and second of all, she wanted to prove that women can do more than men.
What I am going to talk about what everyone wants to know, how did Earhart die? Well, no one really knows, but I have heard some amazing guesses. Some of them are, she ran out of gas, she crashed because she was not paying attention. Even though those are really great guesses, what I think happened to her was, she was captured in Japan, because in World War 11 the Japanese took over many islands in the South Pacific and that is close to where Earhart was.
After they captured her it was possible that they killed her and that was how she died. They probably thought she was a spy and was asking her questions she didnt know and they killed her.
Well, that is what I think happened to Lady Lindy. For all we know she was a great pilot and a amazing inspiration for women around the world to speak up and take action. Hopefully she gave every woman a chance to come out and use what they got to be talented. Look at Amelia, she made a huge difference and now it is your turn.

PRINCETON, N.J. – Harvard lightweight crew's first varsity won by 14 seconds and the Crimson won three other races to sweep Georgetown Sunday in Princeton, N.J. Racing was quick with a 10-15 mile per hour tailwind and calmer waters at the start and finish compared to small white caps mid-course.
Harvard started the day with wins in the two freshman races. The freshman eight won by 12.8 seconds, finishing in 6:00.0 and the second freshman four cruised to a victory over Georgetown and another Harvard boat. The Crimson's first-place finishing four rowed the course in 7:13.9, easily topping Georgetown (7:25.7) and Harvard's 'B' group (7:28.7).
The Crimson's first varsity was the next to take to the water and notched its third win of the spring season. Harvard had the fastest time of the day, 5:47.9, for the 14-second gap over Georgetown.
The second varsity completed Harvard's sweep by winning with open water. The Crimson clocked in at 5:58.7 and Harvard's third varsity, which had a floating start, was in second during the race at 6:17.2. Georgetown's second varsity had a 6:23.7 time.
Harvard's next races will be next Saturday in Hanover, N.H., against Dartmouth and MIT. The Biglin Bowl will be on the line.

My point in this is that labelling people as "playing Orthodoxy" is a little unjust.
I just listened to two recent interviews on the Illumined Heart program at Ancient Faith Radio and wanted to pass them along in case they haven't been mentioned yet here. The first program, dated March 31st, is with a Melkite priest named Fr. James Babcock, and the second interview is with Jeremy (Basil) Dannnebohm, a former Roman and Byzantine Catholic that later entered the Orthodox Church. There is much interesting discussion in these podcasts, particularly regarding the relationship of Eastern Rite Catholics to Roman Catholic dogma, and whether or not Eastern Rite Catholics are obligated to accept post-Schism Roman Catholic dogmas. In the interview with Fr. James Babcock, I was most interested in his comments that Eastern Rite Catholicism is not a good model of unity for the Orthodox and Catholics, and his assertion that Eastern Rite Catholicism should disappear. In the interview with Basil Dannnebohm, I was interested to see the effort he made to stay Roman and then Byzantine Catholic, and how in the end he felt that he was just "playing Orthodox" in Byzantine Catholicism. He makes very clear the "spiritual vacuum" that he found in Roman and Eastern Catholicism, and the spiritual joy and fulfillment that he could only experience in the Orthodox Church.Below are links to the two interviews. What do you think?http://ancientfaith.com/podcasts/illuminedheart/eastern_catholics_are_they_orthodoxhttp://ancientfaith.com/podcasts/illuminedheart/byzantine_catholics_journey_to_from_and_back_again_to_the_orthodox_ch
I agree!However, there are times when those of us who really want to keep to the traditions of the wonderful people you describe in your post, are made to FEEL like we are just "playing Orthodoxy" - for example, the very strong push in the BC churches to get rid of Church Slavonic (because it's "too ethnic" - I have actually heard people say that! ).If we could just emulate a tiny portion of the spirit of those elderly immigrants you describe we would all be the richer.

Caixin Online
) — China's struggling solar energy equipment makers may see light at the end of the tunnel now that the government has agreed to subsidize small solar power stations and a major power distributor is offering access to the grid.
Moreover, several sources told Caixin, the government led by the National Energy Administration (NEA), an arm of the powerful National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC), plans to roll out additional solar industry stimulus policies at an accelerated rate.
The program's ultimate goal, sources say, is to raise domestic demand for solar panels and help manufacturers that have found it increasingly difficult to sell products abroad. About 90% of China's solar manufacturing output is exported.
Solar power subsidy cuts in Europe, the weak global economy and U.S. trade barriers for Chinese-made solar goods are among the factors pressuring domestic manufacturers.
NEA announced Sept. 14 the plan to offer subsidies to encourage solar power station installations nationwide. Altogether, the agency said, the government would support up to 15 million kilowatts of installed capacity, or more than 70 billion yuan ($11.2 billion) worth of standard solar panels.
The commission did not give a total monetary figure for the nationwide subsidy program, nor say how much money would be offered to individual power station builders. But the program would favor small power producers: NEA said it would offer subsidies only to stations outfitted with 500 megawatts or less of installed capacity.
Solar power station operators could include companies that install panels on the roofs of apartment buildings, urban commercial facilities and factories.
Station operators in northern China may be able to sell or at least transmit the electricity they make through the state-owned, regional power distributor State Grid Corp., which has apparently agreed to support the NEA initiative.
China's leadership: One out of three isn't good
The wait for China's new leadership roster is over-now a return to business as usual.
In an Oct. 26 proposal, State Grid said it would allow small solar power stations to connect to its transmission grid and offer electricity to users within a limited range. The utility said it would provide free support services, and that a hook-up could be completed in 45 days.
China Southern Power Grid, the state-run transmission utility for much of southern China, has not responded to the NEA subsidy plan.
State Grid earlier balked at the idea of opening the grid to solar power stations. Its executives argued that solar energy is an unstable source of electricity, and that competition from station operators would reduce its own revenues.
Unfinished business
State Grid's apparent change of heart is a step in the right direction, said Su Weili, chairman of Shanghai-based Sky Solar Holdings Co. Ltd., which builds and runs solar stations.
Power station operators, Su said, will get to choose whether to sell all or only some of the electricity generated. They may also decide how much power to produce for their own needs, and how much if any that want to buy through State Grid. Most are expected to continue buying power through the grid and thus avoid running dry on cloudy days.

Move over cupcakes, there's a new pastry craze to Instagram.
Ever since the New York City-based Dominique Ansel Bakery debuted the cronut, a donut/croissant hybrid, donut recipes have become popular throughout blogs and social media. And just in time, 30A has a new donut shop.
The family-owned and operated Donut Hut has been open about a month, and the store's bakers can hardly keep up with the donut demands of their customers.
"Everything we make is sold out in just a few hours," said owner Russell Stegemann.
Stegemann, a self-processed "donut guy," decided to open up shop to fill the donut void on 30A.
"Up until now, it's just been the Donut Hole," Stegemann said. "I kept putting the idea of a donut shop on the back burner until I thought, 'Let's make everybody happy.' Donuts are very American � iconic � everybody loves coffee and donuts."
Donut Hut bakers hand-make their donuts and beignets every morning from scratch using only the finest ingredients, Stegemann said. Donuts are made on the hour so that customers only receive the freshest orders.
Baking for over 10 years, Justinn Kurtz has added her own special magic, as Stegemann calls it, to the Hut's menu. From plain glazed to chocolate to key lime filling, there's a flavor for every palette. And be sure not to miss the specially crafted Maple Grayton Baycon Donut, which includes maple icing and chunks of real bacon, yet another food craze.
In the future, Stegemann and co-owner Kevin McKee, hope to expand the Donut Hut with more locations and a broader menu. While opening a donut shop was a longtime dream, creating jobs and proprietorship is just the icing on the cake donut, Stegemann said.
Until there's several locations to scour, make sure to visit Donut Hut early to get your first pick of hot donuts.

There is nothing quite like the sight of a foodbloggers meet, especially one of this magnitude! There are Stars in all forms, shapes and sizes and numerous paparazzi cameras everywhere, taking shot after shot after shot! I mean Hollywood move aside, we got juicier and tastier action happening right here in this small, cushy alcove of a cafe chocolat in Balmain. BUT that is because it is not just any ordinary cafe chocolat... this chocolate haven belonged to the suave and sexy Adriano Zumbo (The Bond of Pastries?).
Ok I must admit that the Stars actually came in gateaux, dessert or drink form but they all shone so brightly and vividly that each one demanded more attention then the next. The paparazzi, naturally, came in foodblogger form :D
To be more precise, this notorious Foodie Mob consisted of Reem from I Am Obsessed with Food (big thanks for organising), Lorraine from Not Quite Nigella, Suze from ChocolateSuze, Helen from Grab Your Fork, Belle from Ooh Look..., Yien from The Delectable Delight, Karen from Citrus and Candy, Amanda from The Cake + The Knife, Howard, Therese and Linda from Eat Show & Tell, Simon from Simon Food Favourites and Chris from The Way it Crumbles.
Thanks to all of you guys for making it such a fun gathering and sharing all the goodies. Great to put some faces to very entertaining blogs and to add more blogs to my collection :D
First stop the patisserie!
Most of decided to raid the patisserie first to scout out and ooh and ahh over the new summer collection of gateaux. This was actually my first time inside the patisserie so I was more excited than the others (if that is possible haha).
So many goodies to choose from on this side...
But there is more on this side too!
Charles, aka Charles du Jour, is extremely helpful and has a really cool Lupin shirt ^^! Haha I am quite the nerd :P He helps us make sure that we try at least one of each of the new collection by suggesting which ones have not been bought yet. I think he could tell who was in the Foodie Mob by our huge grins and us being armed with a camera and paychecks from the past few weeks.
Magic 'roons Box
I didn't end up getting any macaroons but some of my fellow foodbloggers have quite in depth and detailed descriptions of each of the flavours :) I must try some next time mmmm!
All the new and sexy gateaux!
Yayyyy ^^!
After procuring all our coveted goods we made our way down a few metres to the cafe chocolat proudly displaying the precious parcels or boxes.
Hello again old friend :)
We were fortunately reserved the long communal table in the alcove as it quickly filled up and was overflowing with delicious desserts.
So many goodies!
I didn't get to try enough of the desserts so that means I just need to go there more now haha. ChocolateSuze was very quick at snatching up her rice pudding eclair and greedily hiding it at the other end of the table haha jkjk ;) Simon's Have a Chat Kai! had beautifully fresh strawberries and lychees.
The Tarte aux fruits de la passion (passionfruit and cream) also looked very good but I didn't get to try. The Chocolate fondant is a flourless chocolate cake which gives off an umami flavour.
Sugar Lips
A brioche doughnut filled with lemon creme was very sugary indeed.
CT (Camel Toe)
I have heard so many wonderful stories about these rich, oozey wine filled truffles especially from Lorraine.
Other delightful truffles! (Sorry this photo is kinda washed out and don't have Light Room.. yet)
The Miss Marple Cheesecake is another one of the Miss Marple series. Although this cheesecake was very good I still perfer the Miss Marple Deconstructed sold at the cafe. Berry custard brioche, strawberry and peach danish and something else? lingering in the background.
Choose your weapon!
I went for the 2-prong :)
Thick Dark Hot Chocolate ($7)
This was the blackest, thickest looking dark hot chocolate according to Amanda but for me it was sweet nectar from the Gods! It was dark so maybe not so sweet but the balance of bitterness and the sweetness was brilliant. The thickness... can always be thicker until I need a spoon to eat it instead of just stirring it ;)
The communal table in the alcove was overflowing so the other desserts had to be brought here to 'The Studio'. I had planned on eating them all after taking the photos but then the others came over too hee hee jk ^^!
It's a Macaroon and NOT a Hamburger and Woohoo
It's a Macaroon and NOT a Hamburger ($13.50)
It was a very difficult choice between this and the Paris since Belle was describing all the intricate and delicate details of the Paris to me while I was deciding what to order. I finally gave in to this one beacuse I only had a smidget of a taste last time and I really craved it.
The giant macaroon sandwich with dulce le leche gelato, banana caramel rice pudding and chocolate sand did not disappoint. The mixture of flavours were genius and the textures all complimented each other.
Although this was a totally brilliant dessert, I must admit that I liked the Younger Years better most likely because I love the PB and chocolate combination a bit too much haha.
Paris - La Vie En Rose
Next time we shall meet and I shall hear you sweet and beautiful melodies resonate through my mouth and ears XD
Zumbo the Kid
I also really wanna try this one as it has PB and vegemite in it haha
Sunny Cloud and Past Jobs
Dr Apple, Craigie Bam! and On the Lounge with Zumbo
Framboise Millefeuille, UZC and Charles du jour
All the desserts are brilliant in design but I did not try them so I can't really tell you more :(
Wheely Wildy Wendy
I did, however, try this one as I ended up going back to the patisserie after I had to run off to buy this for my father (It was his B'day haha). This was to sort of make up for not spending the whole day with him :P
Wonderfully sweet chunks of peach in a tonka bean creme legere(?) sandwiched by almond dacquoise discs and rolled in almond crumble. This combination is indescribable and I can see why it is Lorraines' favourite.
The brilliant man himself cometh!
I had to run at about this point so I missed out on seeing Chris again but we shall meet again ^^! All such good fun to see/meet everyone and enjoy all the cakes yum! I obviously have a lot of more research to do hee hee.
One final shot of the cafe overflowing with foodbloggers!

After a series of indecent exposures, disapproving boyfriends/husbands, scandals, attacking umbrellas and bald heads, you would think that I would have given up on my favorite pop star from my childhood years. You might ask, how can you stand by someone who lives such a "Chaotic" life? I've thought about it, you know. There are some musicians that you just give up on and stop listening to altogether, but I figured that if I've been Team Britney since I was eight years old that I would probably be Team Britney for life.
So amidst all the criticism regarding her new music video for "Criminal," I still think that she is fantastic. If you feel uncomfortable with steamy scenes and the image of Britney holding a gun and robbing a store, then maybe this video isn't for you. I kind of love it though especially because she gets to act alongside her boyfriend in real life, Jason Trawick.
And you can watch it here!

I've been excited to show everyone this new butterfly die template from Spellbinders™ because it's a special one. Ya see, I met this sweet and charismatic girl named Elena in Texas about five years ago. She was on a mission to use her scrapbooking passion for a great cause. I've watched her as she grew and developed Scrapbook Royalty to raise money for all sorts of fantastic causes. With a lot of hard work and many hands, it has become Charity Wings, a full blown Non-Profit organization. Well, Spellbinders™ is excited to help support the Charity Wings organization through the creation of the wonderful "Wings of Hope" die template collection. This is such a gorgeous set and can be used for so many different things!
I framed my butterfly with another new favorite called 'Floral Ovals.' I'll have a post with another project using this one tomorrow. The res of my card was made with cardstock and Chocolate pattern paper by SEI. The pink pearls are from Want2Scrap.

Patricia O'Looney, Bridgeport resident, driving force in MS research, dies
Dr. Patricia O'Looney, who examined gender differences in multiple sclerosis and was a major force in improving treatments for the disease, died Saturday after a long illness. O'Looney, a Bridgeport resident, was 57.
O'Looney was vice president of biomedical research for the National Multiple Sclerosis Society, a New York-based advocacy group that works to eradicate MS, a chronic, often disabling disease that attacks the central nervous system.
"She witnessed and was part of transforming MS from a disease for which there were (almost) no approved treatments," said Timothy Coetzee, chief research officer for the National MS Society. Today, Coetzee said, there are nine approved treatments and at least one more nearing approval, with O'Looney playing a big part in making that happen.
Part of O'Looney's job involved evaluating the society's various research programs and distributing grant funding to the best proposals. Those who worked with her said, since joining the society in 1988, O'Looney helped push forward many important initiatives that improved the lives of those affected by MS.
Perhaps most notably, she led a task force examining gender differences in MS, and why more women get the illness. Her work eventually led to the first large clinical trial of a sex hormone to treat women with MS.
More than 2.1 million people worldwide have MS, and at least 6,000 people in Connecticut are battling the disease, according to the National Multiple Sclerosis Society,
Wendy Macklin, a member of the MS Society's research program advisory committee, worked closely with O'Looney over the years. She described O'Looney as "very gracious, but she set a high bar" when it came to supporting research. "She was very quietly taking care of things and making sure the research was top notch," Macklin said.
In addition to her work with the society, O'Looney held a dual faculty appointment in the George Washington University Medical School departments of medicine and biochemistry. There, she conducted research studies in lipoprotein metabolism in autoimmune disease.
O'Looney was also a past recipient of the National Institutes of Health's New Investigator Research Award.
Outside of work, Coetzee said O'Looney was "just a delightful person. She had a passion for all things Irish, and for tennis."
She was also a lifelong parishioner of Our Lady of the Assumption Parish in Fairfield.
O'Looney is survived by her mother, Marjorie Curran O'Looney, and sister Kathleen O'Looney Adams, among other relatives.
The funeral will take place Saturday at 11 a.m. at Our Lady of Assumption Church, 545 Stratfield Road, Fairfield. Interment will follow at St. Michael's Cemetery, Stratford. Calling hours are Friday from 4 to 8 p.m. at the Redgate-Hennessy Funeral Home, 4 Gorham Place, Trumbull.
Donations in her memory can be made to the National Multiple Sclerosis Society, 733 Third Ave., New York, N.Y., 10017.

Officials: Expanding summer meals programs still not reaching all needy kids
Norwich - An avid reader, 10-year-old Neila Sylvete was already a fan of the Otis Library when she found a new reason to spend time there this summer.
"I can't believe they're letting people eat here. They always say don't eat at the library," Neila said Monday as she finished a lunch of a peanut butter-and-jelly sandwich, carrots, a cheese stick and milk. "It's cool."
Sylvete had come to the library with her aunt, Memimose Melise, at about 10 that morning to use one of the computers to tally the books she'd read for a summer reading challenge, then pick out some more books to take home. Just before noon, she joined 25 other children around tables in a corner of the Children's Department, next to a shelf labeled "Folk and Fairy Tale Books," for boxed lunches served out of cooler bags from a wheeled cart by Nelly Darragh, manager of the summer lunch site at the library.
Since starting on July 1, Darragh said, the library site has been attracting 24 to 30 children daily, many of whom come with their parents in the morning for summer reading and crafts activities at the library. Other parents work on library computers while their children fill up on sandwiches, yogurt and cinnamon whole-grain Goldfish crackers.
Bob Farwell, executive director of the library, said the meals program "fit in nicely" with other summer activities that serve the same patrons, even if it meant moving a few shelves and tables and lifting the traditional ban on food.
"It's nice they have this to draw more people to the library," said Jailyn Clay, who came with her husband, Lamar, and their three children for morning activities, then stayed for lunch. While their children enjoyed the boxed lunches, Jailyn and Lamar ate ham sandwiches they'd brought from home.
"Especially for people with big families, this really helps save money," she said.
The library site is new this year for the summer meals program, which serves lunch at 32 sites around the city and breakfast at 14. Sites include schools, parks, churches and apartment complexes. The meals are offered free to anyone 18 and under who comes to one of the sites, regardless of income.
"I'm so full," said Anthony Culpepper, 5, as he and his younger brother, Tyler, and parents, Michael and Heather, left carrying the still-wet miniature rowboat Anthony had painted in the morning story-and-crafts time.
Elsewhere in the region, summer meals are offered at more than 20 sites in New London, five in Groton and one in Stonington, some with breakfasts. Funded by the U.S. Department of Agriculture and administered in Connecticut by the state Department of Education, the program fills a need after the school year ends in June and with it, the free breakfast and lunch programs so many families depend on, according to local food service directors.
School districts that run the programs are reimbursed $1.98 per breakfast and $3.47 per lunch, enough to cover the food and labor, Roberta Jacobs, food services director for Norwich, said.
"People are very thankful for this, and that tells me there is a need out there," said Ernie Koschmieder, director of food and nutrition for Groton Public Schools.
This year, he said, around 15 percent more children than last year are coming for lunch and breakfast to the sites at four schools and one city park. The program serves a breakfast of cereal, milk and crackers to about 250 children, and another 350 to 400 lunches of cold-cut sandwiches, fresh fruit or vegetables, milk and sometimes whole-grain chips. With an additional $3,000 grant that Groton and just four other communities in the state received, parents also may have free lunches this summer.
"We did a big blitz campaign, where we went around to all the neighborhoods and did door hangers about the program," Koschmieder said.
In Norwich, both the number of sites and the number of meals served has increased by about 10 percent this year, Jacobs said. Four sites were added, serving lunch to a total of about 1,000 and breakfast to about half that number. That's about one third of the number served in free lunch programs during the school year, Jacobs said.
"We know there's more kids out there, but we don't know where to find them," she said, adding that the program is advertised on posters at community meal sites and agency offices, on fliers at city housing and in notices sent home with students before the end of the school year. With no paperwork and no income qualifications, the program is one of the easiest government-funded benefits to use.
"All you have to do is show up," Jacobs said.
In New London, meals are served at parks, summer school and summer recreation program sites, churches and camps, said Samantha Hinebaugh, director of food services for the school district. New sites this year include Centro de la Comunidad and Abounding Grace Ministries, a Connecticut Avenue church. Cold-cut sandwiches are made fresh in school kitchens for each day except Thursdays, which is always pizza day.
"We're serving about 1,000 lunches a day, and 550 breakfasts," Hinebaugh said, adding that the numbers are roughly one-third of the total students served free lunch during the school year. "I've spoken to parents, and they tell me they rely on it."

I noticed that Muse have April 13-14th and April 20-21st free in their US tour schedule. Coincidence?
I noticed that Muse have April 13-14th and April 20-21st free in their US tour schedule. Coincidence?
I miss talking to TomAz.
We all do. I live in the same city as him (unless he relocated) and rumor has it that at 3:15am if you listen closely and its really really quiet you can hear him telling you to go fuck yourself.
You're welcome; they have these things that fly through the sky these days. They probably need to use up their frequent flyer miles before they expire.
Why risk a shot voice in NYC or Indio by playing 3 nights in a row, which they rarely do?
Would you want a Muse show with only generic video wall production? I saw a 60 minute set at a Christmas Radio show in 2009 with barebones production for 5,000 and it wouldn't cut it.
im going to be banned if i spam threads with tons and tons of images.
Reported and blocked. Seriously, are you people 12? Grow the fuck up.
anyone who still believes muse has any change in hell of playing deserves a violent sodomizing.
April 24 - Queens of the Stone Age
April 26-28 - Levitation
My girlfriend looks a little bit like Charlize Theron... and a lot like Dog the Bounty Hunter.
Why can't these guys go away
Their new album is complete shit, please no Muse
Festivals use the same basic show and acts have to reconfigure their shows sometimes. Springsteen/U2 have to rethink their walkways, and teleprompters/mic stands can't be built into the stage.
I'm sure Jay-z went to great lengths to get that small trap door in 2010.
Wouldn't it be more fun to fuel their false hopes rather than ruining it on the first response? Let them believe it, convince them they're right.
So that's what "gap in the tour dates" means...

16. Single Members
Men and women who have not married or who are divorced or widowed make up a significant portion of Church membership. Priesthood and auxiliary leaders reach out to these members and include them in the work of the Church. Worthy single members should be given opportunities to hold leadership and teaching positions, including positions in elders quorum presidencies and auxiliary presidencies.
Leaders support single members by helping them draw near to the Lord, strengthen their testimonies, and take responsibility for their own spiritual, social, and temporal well-being.
In caring for single members, leaders seek to strengthen family life, not compete with it or detract from it. They teach and testify of the importance of marriage and parenthood. Even when young single adults are not living with their parents, Church leaders encourage them to honor and nourish their relationships with their parents. Leaders also support single parents in their efforts to teach and nurture their children.
Single members are divided into two groups: single adults (ages 31 and older) and young single adults (ages 18–30).
16.1 Caring for Single Adult Members (Ages 31 and Older)
Leaders encourage single members ages 31 and older to participate in the regular activities and programs of their conventional stakes and wards. These stakes and wards can provide a full range of Church experiences and can offer opportunities to serve, teach, lead, and associate with people of all ages. Conventional wards can also reinforce the important role of the family and the home in the gospel plan. As an exception, stake presidents may recommend the creation of a single adult ward for single adults ages 31 to 45 according to the guidelines in Handbook 1, 9.1.9.
Leaders should make special efforts to understand and address the needs of single adults. Leaders should recognize that single adults' circumstances and interests are varied. Leaders should also be sensitive that single adults sometimes feel out of place when they attend family-oriented activities and classes.
Stake Single Adult Leadership
The stake presidency seeks to understand the needs of single adults and to provide ways to address those needs. The stake presidency may determine that single adults in the stake need opportunities to come together for service, gospel learning, and sociality beyond what their wards provide.
The stake president may assign one of his counselors to oversee the work with single adults in the stake. The stake president may also assign a high councilor to assist in this work. The same member of the stake presidency and the same high councilor may be assigned to work with young single adults as well.
Stake Single Adult Committee
The stake presidency may organize a stake single adult committee. A counselor in the stake presidency presides over this committee. The committee also includes a high councilor, a member of the stake Relief Society presidency, and several single adults. Normally this committee is organized separately from the stake young single adult committee.
The committee meets as needed. Committee members may plan ways to give single adults opportunities to come together for service, gospel learning, and sociality beyond their wards.
Multistake Activities
When multistake activities can provide single adults with needed opportunities for service, leadership, and social interaction, Area Seventies work with stake presidents to establish committees to plan and organize such activities.
Participation in Single Adult Activities
Participation in single adult activities is limited to single adult members, assigned Church officers, and single adult nonmembers who are willing to abide by Church standards. A person who is separated from his or her spouse or is seeking a divorce may not participate until the divorce decree has become final according to law.
Home Evening Groups
Bishoprics may organize one or more home evening groups for single adults who do not have children in the home and do not live with their parents. These groups are not referred to as families.

All the News That's Fit To Vlog
Amanda Congdon leaves Rocketboom.
Back in those excitable days of the mid-'00s, video blogging—sometimes referred to as "vlogging," an unsightly word and seemingly the name of a Norwegian pop diva—was in its nascence, and Amanda Congdon had what it took to rise as its first celebrity. While it's axiomatic that every new medium requires a new breed of personality, what the vlog Rocketboom —a daily three-minute fake-ish newscast—required of Congdon was strikingly similar to what any number of old-media outlets asked of the buxom and obnoxious Jenny McCarthy. Yes, there were moments during Congdon's 20-month tenure as Rocketboom's host that involved political satire, performance art, improv exercises, and free-floating whimsy, but her main mandate was to jiggle. Her ability to redefine the role of the bimbo in a way reflecting the spirit of the age led her to niche superstardom.
It was not always thus. An early installment of Rocketboom (Oct. 28, 2004) found Congdon sporting colorless hair, a drab shirt, poor posture, and a maddening blink count. Her lead story was the Boston Red Sox's recent World Series victory, and her jokes were lame: "Now seriously, guys, superstition aside, time for a shave and a haircut! And can we please wash those uniforms and helmets? They're lookin' pretty disgusting! I mean, c'mon, there is a limit to superstition! Enjoy your victory." There followed a snarky discussion of the latest election-eve spin from Iraq, which led to a middling riff on Bush-related Halloween costumes ("Oh, and here's Jenna's liver!"), which led to a John Kerry gag. Her delivery was merely perky.
Over time, Congdon became more confident, more polished, more thoughtful about how to deploy her chest. She eased into a persona that owed its goofiness to Coen brothers' comedies, its guy's-girl aggressive zaniness to McCarthy, and everything else to Saturday Night Live. When Congdon wasn't borrowing from Tina Fey's "Weekend Update" act—even, for a time, wearing eyeglasses of a Fey-esque hipness rating—she was referencing Wayne's World with her every cable-access-ready gesture. With practice, she got to be OK. Meanwhile, Rocketboom added coverage of technology news, sundry Web curiosa, patent applications, and the like, while also dispatching a team of correspondents around the globe to offer earnest, half-decently sourced reports on, say, a tuberculosis crisis in Kenya. Rocketboom's inability to merge its sincere and ironic ambitions sometimes created widespread viewer distress, as when, on June 1, Congdon segued from a wholehearted, short-shorted demonstration of a new technological innovation—the ropeless jump-rope—into a report on the remains of the World Trade Center.
Last week, Congdon released a statement on her personal blog to the effect that Rocketboom's majority partner, one Andrew Baron, had fired her. Meanwhile, Baron—who also announced that her replacement would be the renowned European scenester Joanne Colan—maintained that Congdon was canning Rocketboom in favor of Hollywood. Upon hearing this last tidbit, the mind of many a vlogging wag drifted to the telegram the journalist-turned-screenwriter Herman Mankiewicz sent to Ben Hecht's New Yorker office shortly after his arrival in L.A.: "Millions are to be grabbed out here and your only competition is idiots. Don't let this get around."
