Evangelist Adorns Biblical Child Rearing Book With 'Modern Family' Portrait He Found Via Google
from the the-wicked-google/tv/gays-made-me-do-it dept
Now, having said all of that, most folks are at least smart enough to know that you shouldn't go plucking around the internet, yoinking pictures without doing at least a cursory inquiry into what that image is and who might own it, all for the use of your for-profit eBook. But, as Brig C. McCoy writes in to tell us, most folks doesn't equal all folks. Meet Doug Sehorne. Doug's an evangelist who wrote a book called Bible Principles Of Child Discipline (from the Book of Proverbs). Oh, and hey, here's the cover.
See the problem? No, not the horrific plain white text over the blue background. The image Doug Sehorne used for his book on how to go about raising your children Old Testament-style is a mock photo from ABC's Modern Family. In case you're not familiar with Modern Family, the show includes a functional homosexual couple with an adopted child. A bunch of people pointed this out to Doug, at which point he promptly apologized, admitted he should have known better than to just use images from TV shows, and thanked everyone very much for the help.
Nah, just kidding. He melted down faster than ice cream in Hell. From his Facebook page:
FALSELY ACCUSED!Okay, show of hands: who wants to take advice on raising children from this guy? Yeah, I didn't think so. Now, Doug's book, which advises parents that they cannot raise children without a good and sturdy paddle (and, no, I'm not making that up), used a copyrighted image for the cover and this was his response to being called out on it? Lord knows (get it?) we're not big on the restrictive nature of copyright, but you have to at least take a look at what you're using. Not having a television (because it's apparently wicked? WTF?) is no excuse, since he clearly has a computer and that image had to have come from somewhere.
Well, I just got a phone call about the picture I used on my Book about Child Discipline. Evidently it is from a wicked TV show involving a gay couple! Here is the situation.
1. I do not even have a TV and have not for 35 years.
2. I never heard of the TV show.
3. I got the image from a search on Google images, which I assumed were not copyrighted, etc.
4. Everyone who knows me, knows I would never condone such wickedness as sodomy or even TV.
Apparently you can't teach evangelicals about copyright without a good and sturdy paddle.

Several of my readers have been patiently waiting to know how the AlexLoop and KX3 have been performing together. I am interested too, but I'm not yet well enough to attempt any outings with a rucksack full of radio gear. Today it was raining and I wouldn't have wanted to go out anyway. So I decided to operate portable from inside the warm, dry shack instead.
The KX3 was run off the shack power supply so the power out was the full 10 watts. I hope to find a battery that will provide enough volts that I can run 10 watts in the field, but as I don't yet have one this was a little bit of cheating!
The first band I tried was 12 metres. Here, Valery, ER3ZZ in Moldova came back to my first call and gave me a 5 and 5 report. Easy peasy.
Next stop was 10 metres, where Yakov RA9XAU quickly replied to my call. Another 5 and 5 was logged. Can, TA3GO was next in the log. This time a 5 and 9 was received.
One EA9 didn't want to talk to me as I wasn't DX. That would actually have been an all-time new country for me, as I think Ceuta-Melilla is a separate entity from Spain. Victor, RV3RM was working other G stations and gave me a 5 and 8 report.
After lunch I spent some time listening to, and attempting to call, Stateside stations. Some were very strong but I couldn't be heard over the pile of stations calling them. That would have been quite a scoop - to cross the Atlantic with QRP and a portable antenna. I heard Yuri UT9MZ working Europe so I called him and 5 and 9 reports were exchanged.
I spent some time listening on other bands. Peter I5CTE was a massive signal - genuinely peaking more than S9+20dB on the KX3's S meter. on 15m. Italy is a good direction for me, for some reason. We had a proper chat lasting several minutes and Peter told me that my QRP signal peaked over 5 and 9 at times.
My very subjective conclusion is that the AlexLoop feels no different in operation than my attic multiband dipole and MFJ magnetic loop. I didn't even feel at a particular disadvantage from the low power, except perhaps when I was attempting to work USA stations. The AlexLoop is a very good antenna and together with the Elecraft KX3 make for a potent combination, especially if you can take advantage of the KX3's full 10 watts output.

"Well known hacker Marcan, who played a part in hacking the PS3, has found out the clock speeds of the Wii U."
Nintendo never really feels like they need to capitalize on better tech. They'll still sell well with first party titles of course, but it's not a good long term stretch.
clock speeds =/= performance
Sadly, you will not be only person who comes here and gets hammered with disagrees and bubble downs for pointing out a fact that's not convenient.
The general goal of most modern CPU/GPU is to get more performance at lower clock speeds and has been for about 7 years.
My Quad Core i5 runs at a lowers clock speed than my previous Core 2 Quad Q6600 but it outperforms it by near 3 times while using less electricity to do it.
My new GTX 560 Ti also consumes less power than my previous GTX 260 but outperforms it in every possible category by leaps.
None of the Nintendo haters here want to hear things like that though.
They don't want to understand these differences. They just wanna scream "Oh, look at those low numbers, its so weak, haha!" With complete ignorance of what those numbers mean or how they work. Pure fanboyism.
But this CPU's architecture is same as like 1999 (when Power Mac G3 came out). People are worried because the clock speed is not impressive AND the architecture is ancient.
But games have already proven that the performance isn't there *cough* batman "frame rate" city *cough*
Just admit it that the console is weak. Stop hoping against hope and trying to find something else to hang onto until that vanishes as well.
Exactly. People don't get it. I can have a super overclocked dual-core Pentium (if those exist) and it'll be crap to an i3. Newer architecture allows this phenomenon to exist. Calling the WiiU out on clock speeds is like saying ssd's suck because their capacity is lower than an hdd, and thus worse.
Although clockspeed alone is no real measure of performance, we have other known factors that would help shed light on the matter. Clockspeeds of the chip only confirm to us that it is exceptionally slow.
Crucially, we have information like the die sizes from anandtech's teardown and the machine's power consumption.
We know that the CPU then is really small built on 45nm, no bigger than 360's CPU and definitely smaller than PS3's. In context PS3's CPU is small(234m transistors) compared to a modern dual core chip, even a Pentium G630 is over 500 million transistors, around half of that is cache.
"My Quad Core i5 runs at a lowers clock speed than my previous Core 2 Quad Q6600 but it outperforms it by near 3 times while using less electricity to do it."
The reason for this is not magic, it is just a sandy bridge i5 quad core has MORE than DOUBLE the number of transistors as a Core 2 Q6600. (by the way, all these chips have higher clocks than Q6600 too) It is made on a more advanced process so the transistors it has are smaller and allows further optimal design. However if you made them on the same process size, the i5 chip will be much, much larger.
As we know the process size and die size of Wii U's CPU, then it is plainly not chock full of transistors that small. The only thing that was going to save Wii U's CPU here then was having a really fast clockspeed like over 4ghz. But looking at the power consumption it was fairly clear this wasn't gonna be happening.
We know the architecture is old, we know the die is not very big, we know the power consumption is low. Even before we knew the clockspeeds, we knew then this was not a fast CPU and all this does is confirm low clockspeeds too.
Because of the wide array of factors now known, clockspeed as well, there can be no denying how slow the CPU is. Its very small, its based on old architecture, its low power, and its low clockspeeds.
this isnt a site to post factual statements like that.
Meray lun pay charay Wii U gando. Ps3 theek ha.... Gand marai reggie bhanchod kutta dala dhoka day raha ha ye gandu tum logon ko ye puri nintendo comany xbox say gand marai ja k
You are correct, but what we often neglect to think about is how does this all balance out. We know for instance that PS3 and to a lesser extent Xbox 360 is bottlenecked at the RAM.
The Wii has 1GB minimum and it may even get more as the OS gets optimized further.
Well how does all this balance out?
You mean overall system performance. It seems fairly obvious that Wii U's overall system performance is not significantly greater than PS3 or 360. I said before it is more like insignificantly faster than 360/PS3.
Wii U has strengths and weaknesses but like a lot of things, the lowest performing aspect will effectively limit maximimum performance in the end.
We'll see some really nice looking Wii U games but don't expect anything that blows away 360/PS3 nor anything a budget gaming PC can't already do/has done for years now.
The amount of RAM Wii U has is already a strength compared to the other consoles, so a bit more free RAM isn't really going to help much. Whereas something like PS3's RAM was critically important versus 360 so every last megabyte counted when Sony shrunk the OS.
Nintendo could look at freeing up CPU cycles if the OS uses a bit. Don't expect too much though. Even a massive clockspeed jump on PSP (when sony unlocked the CPU from 222mhz to 333mhz) only slightly improved graphics.
Wii U's CPU is just outright slow even by 2005 standards which is pretty amazing really. Devs now have to work with what they have got.
articles all over again. When Xbox360 launch is was $400 for the premium and $300 for the arcade. The Wii U launch price was $300 basic, and $350 deluxe. The author also failed to mention that these were simply ports and nothing else. The developers simply rushed out a product just to say they had something available at launch. I already own a ps3 and Xbox360 so why would I buy a Wii U for multiplatform games? I'm buying it for titles that I can only get on the WII U.
You maybe buying Wii U for exclusives but many including Nintendo were touting the "superior" multi-platform games. Please dont change your stance once the Wii U has been proven weak conclusively.
Meray lun pay charay Wii U gando. Ps3 theek ha.... Gand marai reggie bhanchod. Wii U aur puri nitendo gand marai ja k Microsoft say .
The only thing thats been proven is that current generation games are CPU dependant and Wii U asks developers to use new modern tech a GPGPU that assigns the GPU tasks the CPU would usually do. Its obvious developers are rushing ports out, leading to some bad ports.
I think Wii all know the Wii U is pretty much what should have been released 6 years ago.
I agree as well. This is Nintendos first hd console and it's really showing. Now they are going to play catch up. I'm afraid that it's going to be Wii all over again. While we will get some first party gems, everything else including third party will suffer.
Where's the incentive for consumers with 360/PS3 to pick up the WiiU? For me, it's certainly not the tablet controller. At this point, I'm going to consider picking one up until a discount and some more quality games come out. $300 is asking too much for what they are offering at the moment.
i dont know if its just me, but i kind of like weaker hardware,, its something rudimentary and mechanical about it,, like pushing a small 1.2 Litre car engine to its limits rather then a hulking big V8 engine that will not be pushed to its extremes,,, more basic hardware has a novel feel about it, that big specs and chips dont have. do others share the same feeling or is it just me?
I don't know that I can say I "like", or prefer weaker hardware, but at the same time I can't say I'm against it in any way either. I still plug in the SNES from time to time, and I still have fun. I LOVED a lot of the Wii games this gen as well. I also love the latest "most cutting edge" games too though. I think it just boils down to, I love "GAMES", I have since I was 3 and handed an Atari 2600 joystick. I still remember my first NES Christmas, it was f#%kin epic to actually own Super Mario Bros/Duck Hunt, and be able to bust it anytime. I just like games, no matter if it's on the most powerful PC, or an sorry old Tiger Watch, I don't care I'm down period. I guess I can say, it doesn't matter at all to me either, as long as the game's fun.
As a big Nintendo fan, you embarrass me. If weak hardware excites you that much, go play an Atari 2600.
Nintendo "CAN" do both you know, release good games and have their console pack a punch SNES is a good example of this. You know what pisses me off about Nintendo and shows just how cheap profit driven scrooge of a company they have become is when Reggie says "It only takes 1 game sold at launch to turn a profit on the Wii U", this really disgusts me with all the profit turned from DS,Wii and now 3ds they couldn't pack the Wii U with better guts and take a loss for at least a year or two and truly future proof the Wii U against the PS4,next Xbox, or better yet why didn't they just wait a half year longer, why rush it out to the market when it's clearly not much of an improvement over the PS3,360. Do they really think people are going to choose to buy their multiplats (if they get any) over their PS4, next Xbox? Heck people who own a PS3,360 right now are/will probably still buy their multiplats for those systems instead of their Wii U.
wiiU2 in 2017. will be announced 2016.
More nonsense post from faceless so called hackers/specialist.
I will use this as my source. This is the real specs of the Wii U.
.... do you have a source that isn't called,"zeldainformer&quo t;?
Been saying this forever but I just get called a fanboy or a troll but I just realize what Nintendo has been doing for years now and I am tired of it.
Richest gaming division in the world yet they produce the weakest cheapest devices in the gaming industry.
God I sound like broken record but when will people open their eyes and stop accepting this type of business practice? Nintendo is practically raping it's consumers blind and they could careless. They remind me more of Apple than Nintendo these days.
The Wii U isn't even worth the money it cost now. Just like the 3DS was never worth $250 when it was first released also.
How can you price something that is weaker, has less features and simply cannot out perform 7 year old consoles pricing it for more than what those consoles sell for now?
I mean fuck you can get a Xbox 360 for $99 and a PS3 for $200 yet they still out perform this new system.. So Nintendo feels it should cost more than those? How does this add up to people? It doesn't to me that is why I stopped buying Nintendo's cheap crap.
Thing is I am not even a graphics whore, I just enjoy good games but it's getting to a point in time where you just expect better hardware because it's easily available.
Just like you wouldn't expect to be driving a steam powered car in 2012 still, as much as it may get you by just fine without it being a problem, you still have to think why the hell hasn't it gotten any better or changed yet? Pretty much how I feel every time Nintendo releases something new..
People are still making excuses for this thing saying oh well it may not be as powerful as the PS4 or 720.. Really!? No, I think there is a snowballs chance in hell it would be, considering it's not more powerful than 7 year old systems, it would make literally no sense at all if was close to the PS4 or 720..
While a lot of people come in with these insane requests, does anyone remember that the gamepad is ALSO included? To me I always felt like that was where a good % of the costs went. I mean, did you REALLY expect a device on par with the PS4 / next Xbox with the gamepad all for 300 dollars? To me that just seems insane. By no means am I defending the Wii U, but people seem to act like the gamepad is a 10 dollar freebie included so people can use the device, but in reality it's a nifty device that lets you play without looking at the TV. Do I think that justifies it existing? No, of course not. Do I think it should be factored into the price? I don't see how you could logically explain Nintendo losing money on every gamepad and selling the system at 200 or so (what it's probably worth).
That's why I skipped it.., ill wait for next Xbox or ps4... Nintendo is so so deceiving.......
Well atleast all them BS articles stating "next gen" has started can stop until the true next gen actually starts....
Its a disgrace that lesser tech releasing over 5 year from whats currently available was ever considered next gen...
The WiiU will never produce the same sort of success that the wii brought in, a big chunk of the casual market must feel robbed by the gimmick that was the original wii, and now the more hardcore gamer finally hears the truth about the wiiuU..
when the next PS and xbox release.. damn, even when there officially announced and show some demos, the wiiU's going to be forgotten about as if it were the equivalent of 6 year old tech.. oh wait...
Why is lesser tech Producing better frame rates and rendering to two screens? I'm not seeing screen lag or of lower avg fps. If the wiiu can do this then iPhones will blow next gen ps and xboxes completely out of the water.
This reminds me of the Xbox 360 sucking yet some how producing gears of war.
Man you really have to love those closed systems!
I agree.
People keep going on about "it's not about the power, it's about the next iteration of the console that determines if it's next gen"
But really... how can you call the Wii U next gen?
I don't care what people say, when you hear the words 'next gen' you expect a significant increase in power. From what we've seen it's slightly better than current gen consoles.
The Wii U is current gen, plain and simple.
WiiU Emulator coming REALLY REALLY soon to a PC near you!
(I may not buy Nintendo Consoles but I sure as heck will buy Nintendo Games and play them on my PC)
I dont know man, wii emulation crippled most superior pcs that were speccd up
I lvel cpu's or quad cores
4-32 gb of ram
2x mid tier or better gpu
now wii emulation is 90% stable, and usable
I think theres along way to go for wiiu. but if its still truly built upon the gamecube/wii architecture things may happen faster.
My Asus 17" gaming laptop runs Dolphin at 100% with huge power to spare. I don't think the Wii U is going to cause a huge bump in performance.
I've heard that development costs for next gen games are going to be astronomical. In my personal opinion, I think current gen games still look amazingly beautiful. games like Gears of War Judgement, God of War Ascension, Ni No Kuni, Journey, Bastion, ect. If developers can still make great looking games like those I listed on Wii U, I'm okay with that. Plus, I'm still getting the neXbox and next Sony console anyway, so I really could care less.
Glad to see all the comments 'protecting' the Wii-U get bombarded with disagree's. I'm sorry but if a so called 'next gen' console is on par/worse than the previous gen, it's just not cut out to be a leading console, but since this world is cruel, and things like CoD, iPhone 5, Beats Headphones exist, I guess the Wii-U can too. I just don't get it. Unfair world we live in, time to listen to some Mad World.
when one understands that, thats just a number clocked down and that its a clock speed.
know that those numbers can be over clocked for more oomph and to push the hardware to its limits, when you disregard its low energy consumption and low heat .
these numbers are really low but they still produce comparable material because the parts were built /designed / modified to run at those speeds.
you want 2.7ghz with a fan spinning for its life or a quiet system that pulls out the guns when it has to.
Look at that speed now tell me how can you run so many ports on a CPU the is one third of the speed of the target platforms. How is that even possible?
If the wiiu is so weak why can it even do such a thing? This is like a 4 cylinder keeping up with a 12 cylinder. How is that even pOssible? Please ask and answer that question if you want to keep claiming you know this tech.
Some thing is helping this tech keep pace with chips that run at much higher cycles. I wonder what that could be?
Try benchmarking an overclocked amd chip against an i7. Sure the amd runs faster but the i7 will smoke it.
I guess every one will just wait till Sony does the same thing with an apu then it will be high tech.
Sony always had better tech hype men though.
I'm pretty impressed with the tech so far and I'm wondering how high they can ram this chip at a lower nm. What if over clocking was introduced?
The GDC should be lots of fun now. By the way bops2 runs just fine on this slow CPU for some reason? Maybe nintendo will give someone the factor 5 card. Who knows but many are trying to crack this egg.
Proof that a 4 cylinder can keep up with a 12 cylinder... http://www.youtube.com/watc...
It's not what you have, it is what you do with it that counts. :D
lol nevermind the fact that the Lambos almost twice as heavy or that the Civic wins in a quarter mile but has a lower top speed.
Either way it's a strawman .
most people who work in the gaming industry say that nintendo was a gen behind anyway so they are basically catching up to sony and ms.
also 3rd parry troubles will continue for nintendo long term. when ps4,xbox720 are released you can bet they will be a lot more powerful than current gen consoles. ps3,xbox360 came out 6-7 years ago so now when a new machine is released it will be quite an upgrade over the current systems
i am still happy that nintendo's 1st party games will be in HD like my favorite zelda. but to all the nintendo fanboys or fanboys in general who say wii-u is next gen than they are just wrong.
the real competetion is between ms and sony so that's why both will ignore wii-u and so will a lot of big publishers when it comes to big games. don't expect GTA to come to wiiu. there is a bigger chance of GTA coming to VIta before it comes out on wii-u
well let's see wii had such great 3rd party support oh wait. the last N console to get great 3rd party support was NES now think about how long ago that was. wii was one time thing now a lot of those casuals have moved onto mobile gaming since its cheaper and kinect/move has a sold well too.
for all the money nintendo spent on the gamepad, they should have spent that on actual specs because when ps4,xbox720 comes out wii-u will become last gen agai.
publishers have been saying this for a while now that the tech is old and its holding back the industry so how are those same publishers gonna jump on a wii-u system that is basically a ps3,xbox2360?
i know some people are hating on wii-u and i get that but facts aree facts nintendo had a chance to really take next gen by the horn and have a year ahead start but like always they went after gimmicks instead of actual system upgrade
Wow I can't see Nintendo surviving the next gen battle now
I agree. It won't sell anything, just like Wii didn't sell at all because it was much weaker than PS3 and Xbox 360. Or like DS didn't sell because of the PSP. Or 3DS because of Vita.
these guys dont rememer much (silly graphics hoes) the wii, DS, ps2, ps1 all outsold there competion dispite being the weakest console of the time. its been proved again and agian that graphics mean shit go and try crysis 2 maxed on pc then have a go on timeplitters 2 ps2 and tell me which 1 u had the most fun with
Lol wii sold the most compared to ps3 and 360 because all the parents bought it
The wii did so well because the wiimote and the ps360 are 30 mil in reaching distance of the wii,3ds sales were no better than the ps vita until price cut,ds cheapest handheld.
Ps1 was better at rendering 3d polygons, Saturn better at rendering 2d. So its a matter of opinion of which was stronger. Dreamcast was the weakest of the 128 bit era. Though they say, the Dc had a lot of untouched power, but I don't know if it would of made a difference. Ps2 games were looking better than Dc games of its last year and only got better with time.
The wii u doesnt cater to the same audience that the wii did. Plus the "casual" have invested themselves into the ios and android platform hence the lack of wii consoles sold. Nintendo has themselves cornered up next gen I honestly see the competition slaying them since it doesnt have the casual appeal that the wii had when it came out. Yea you can bring up how much they sold this gen but have you forgotten what happened to it the last 2 gens? This gen the casual saved them and I truly dont think they will do the same this time around.
people did not buy the wii for the specs, the wii sold more "initially" because it was the cheapest price home console
it was a safe bet & an easy way to make money
now people did not get the PS3 or 360 for the expensive price, these consoles sold "initially' because of the HD specs.
if i remember right Nintendo is gunning for the casuals and these PS3 & 360 gamers to play with their Wii U HD console
We will see if they can be 'successful' on these two goals
@dboyc310: I hope you aren't trying to be serious.
Nintendo's own commercials show their real interests. Kids and casuals.
The Wii was pretty much a reboxed GameCube with motion controls and it outsold everything. Heck, it was the same all the way back with the Gameboy too, which was also underpowered compared to the competition.
It's always been that way. They play a different game and do their own thing.
I don't limit myself by discounting anything and go where the games are. Hardware is irrelevant if there aren't good games available for the platform.
The Wii had a revolutionary motion controller that made it fun for people of all ages to play even old people who have never played videogames. Almost everyone can pickup and play. The Wii U has a touch screen controller that doesnt exactly revolutionise the way people play games as we have seen with the launch titles. And it also costs more than the PS3 and 360 because of its controller. I dont think it would have killed Nintendo to put higher specs than the current gen consoles considering high speed ram is dirt cheap and cpus and gpus have dropped in price over the last 6 years
I never met an old person/couple playing wii. The only old people I seen play a wii was actors in its commercials. Not even people my age (female or male) wanted to play it for my sis bday.
Motion controls have been around since 1982 (google "le stick") There was nothing revolutionary about the Wii. I agree however that price had a big role in the Wii succeess but i remember that at some point MS released a 360 SKU that was least expensive than the Wii and the Wii still outsold it every single month. The thing was obviously popular and far from being a fad.
O.T. im still buying a Wii U for Zelda so to me is not a big deal. If i want performance Ill wait for the PS4 and stick with my PC.
Well, the Wii was a hell of a lot weaker than PS3, and 360 but look how that turned out. You guys need to realize that you likely aren't nintendo's target audience in the first place.
But neither are the casuals and soccer moms who did most of the buying for the Wii. Nintendo is stuck between a rock and a hard DICK!
Yes that is true, but how the hell do you come out with a console 6 years later and still have a weaker console then current? I get the wii being underpowered totally, and i would get if the wii u was underpowered to the ps4/720 but being weaker then a ps3 years later, pretty lame. They should have at least made it stronger then what is already out there, and let sony and m$ come out with the stronger tech again
While the Wii can be considered a success for Nintendo the same cant be said about third parties. Casuals would buy very little software and this is a big reason why the console is basically dead. While the motion controls created a lot of hype, it didn't bring longevity to the console. Sony/Microsoft depend on software sales largely for profit and try to ensure longevity(hence why they are 6 to 7 years old and still strong).
I think it was a very bad mistake not to have the original wii launch without hdmi. Now they are starting new while Sony/Microsoft have already learned a lot.
If that's so , why has Nintendo stated many times that there trying to appeal to the hardcore ? Which pretty much accounts to PS3, 360 and to a lesser extent PC gamers , and your right it doesn't appeal to them, why do you think all these hate articles are comming out ?
PS3 and 360 owners aren't gonna fork out $350 to play games they already own or can play on their consoles especially with zero graphical difference and in some cases worse. That's why the Wii u is getting hate because its tryibg to appeal to a demographic that has no real reason to buy it.
Wii was a weak last Gen tech console, yet it destroyed the competition in profitability and sales. This proves that high specs doesn't equal winning the console war.
Lets be honest, the Wii only proved that it could get the people who have never or don't play games to buy their console. Just ask Microsoft, before the Kinect launch, Microsoft was sinking in sales. After Kinect launched, Microsoft has taken over sales in the US. Now ask yourself, does the Kinect make the Hardcore experience any better (is Halo any good with Kinect)? Exactly my point. No it doesn't, but the parents and small kids love it. The response I get from many of my family members who don't play games is, "The kids love it, they play 2 hours, and they are ready to go to bed."
Take a really good look at the Wii library. You will see it is full of first party software. Where are the Third party games? Exactly, no one has the resources to build a game for the Wii. Besides, research shows that the casual gamers are buying the shovel ware, and if it isn't mario brothers or zelda the games do not sell on the Wii.
I can't believe you ever saw it period. I honestly feel like you were missing something or just being brainwashed if you thought anything about the Wii U was next gen.
About as next gen as it's get's is Nintendo's next console. Other than that it's not next generation anything.
I also don't get why this is a shocker as Nintendo has been doing this type of crap for years now for literally no reason other than being money grubbers.
People can talk about how Nintendo is the boss at selling, true that but you can play their cheap ass devices while you brag about their sales. Clearly they care about their consumers a lot by constantly giving them cut down crap just to sell to you, when everyone knows they have far more money than any other person in the industry right now and are capable of doing so much more but they never do.
They would rather keep making money of their fans who never expect more from them. Just like Apple, Nintendo knows they can get away with just about anything and people will buy it.
Nintendo has the least amount of money. Strictly games/systems. There are no Nintendo TVs or operating systems. They haven't been selling multiple forms of media, like M$ or $ony, for decades now. So they're excused from needing to directly compete with two other mega-media brands. Gamecube had to compete directly with Xbox and PS2. The only thing that made the systems sell were their exclusives. Nintendo took the biggest hit, being a strict game company. Obviously, they had no choice but to learn from this, since for now on, they're competing with M$, $ony, and PC. So, the Wii was meant to be different. The Wii also had to be inexpensive. But, overall, had to have memorable, unique, and fun games. Which it had plenty of.
Also, the fact that the launch games look as good as they do should be enough for you to recognize its potential.

Cisco Nexus 7000 Series NX-OS Troubleshooting Guide -- Troubleshooting vPCs
From DocWiki
This article describes how to do basic troubleshooting of virtual Port Channel(vPC) problems on a Cisco Nexus 7000 NX-OS device.
Troubleshooting vPC on Nexus 7000 is covered in detail in Cisco-Live presentation. Sections of this presentation covers, both platform independent, and platform specific step by step troubleshooting for vPC, among other things. Access to this presentation is available FREE. Follow the below instructions to access the presentation
1. Visit https://www.ciscolivevirtual.com/
2. Register for free.
3. Click on "Cisco Live Virtual" link.
4. Click on the 'Sessions' Tab on top, and select '2011 Sessions Catalog'
5. In the search box, type "BRKCRS-3144" and Submit search.
6. Select the session. You can either View the Session (or) download the pdf.
7. vPC troubleshooting is covered from slides 64 through 80.
Information About Troubleshooting vPCs
A vPC allows links that are physically connected to two different Cisco Nexus 7000 Series devices to appear as a single port channel by a third device.
See the Configuring vPC chapter in the Cisco Nexus 7000 Series NX-OS Interfaces Configuration Guide for more information on vPCs.
Initial Troubleshooting Checklist
Begin troubleshooting vPC issues by checking the following issues first:
|Check off
Verify that all vPC interfaces in a vPC domain are configured in the same virtual device context (VDC).
Verify that you have a separate vPC peer-link and peer-keepalive link infrastructure for each VDC deployed.
Is the vPC keepalive link mapped to a separate vrf? If not, it will be mapped to the management vrf by default. In this case, do you have a management switch connect to the management ports on both vPC peer devices?
Verify that the vPC peer-link is configured on a N7K-M132XP-12. It is recommended to have at least two N7K-M132XP-12 for redundancy.
Verify that both the source and destination IP addresses used for the peer-keepalive messages are reachable from the VRF associated with the vPC peer-keepalive link.
Verify that the peer-keepalive link is up or the vPC peer-link will not come up.
Verify that the vPC peer-link is configured as a Layer 2 Port Channel trunk which only allows vPC VLANs.
Verify that the vPC number that you assigned to the port channel that connects to the downstream device from the vPC peer device is identical on both vPC peer devices.
If you manually configured the system priority, verify that you assigned the same priority value on both vPC peer devices.
Check the show vpc consistency-parameters command to verify that both vPC peer devices have identical type-1 parameters.
Verify that the primary vPC is the primary STP root and the secondary vPC is the secondary STP root.
Verifying vPCs Using the CLI
To verify vPCs using the CLI, follow these steps:
1. Use the show running-config vpc command to verify the vPC configuration.
2. Use the show vpc command to check the status of vPC.
3. Use the show vpc peer-keepalive command to check the status of the vPC peer-keepalive link.
4. Use the show vpc consistency-parameters command to verify that both the vPC peers have the identical type-1 parameters.
5. Use the show port-channel summary command toverify the members in the port channel are mapped to the vPC.
6. Use the show cfs status commands to verify that distribution over Ethernet is enabled.
7. If you enable STP, use the show spanning-tree command on both sides of the vPC peer link to verify that the following STP parameters are identical:
- BPDU Filter
- BPDU Guard
- Cost
- Link type
- Priority
- VLANs (PVRST+)
Received Type 1 Configuration Element Mismatch
You may have a problem where you cannot bring up a vPC link because of a type 1 configuration element mismatch.
|Possible Cause
Received a type 1 configuration element mismatch.
The vPC peer ports or membership ports do not have identical configurations.
Use the show vpc consistency-parameters interface command to determine where the configuration mismatch occurs.
Example: show vpc consistency-parameters Command Output
This example shows how to display the vPC consistency parameters on a port channel:
switch# show vpc consistency-parameters interface po 10 Legend: Type 1 : vPC will be suspended in case of mismatch Name Type Local Value Peer Value ------------- ---- ---------------------- ----------------------- STP Mode 1 Rapid-PVST Rapid-PVST STP Disabled 1 None None STP MST Region Name 1 "" "" STP MST Region Revision 1 0 0 STP MST Region Instance to 1 VLAN Mapping STP Loopguard 1 Disabled Disabled STP Bridge Assurance 1 Enabled Enabled STP Port Type 1 Normal Normal STP MST Simulate PVST 1 Enabled Enabled Allowed VLANs - 1-10,15-20,30,37,99 1-10,15-20,30,37,99
Cannot Enable the vPC Feature
You may receive an error when you enable the vPC feature.
|Possible Cause
Cannot enable the vPC feature.
The hardware is incompatible with the vPC.
Use the show module command to determine the hardware version of each N7K-M132XP-12 Ethernet module. The hardwere version must be 1.3 or later to enable the vPC feature.
Example: show module Command Output
This example shows how to display the module hardware version:
switch# show module Mod Ports Module-Type Model Status --- ----- -------------------------------- ------------------ ------------ 2 32 10 Gbps Ethernet Module N7K-M132XP-12 ok 3 48 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet Module N7K-M148GT-11 ok 5 0 Supervisor module-1X N7K-SUP1 active * 6 0 Supervisor module-1X N7K-SUP1 ha-standby 10 32 10 Gbps Ethernet Module N7K-M132XP-12 ok Mod Sw Hw --- -------------- ------ 2 4.1(5) 1.2 3 4.1(5) 1.0 >>> Must be 1.3 or later.
vPC in Blocking State
vPC may be in the blocking state because of Bride Assurance (BA).
|Possible Cause
vPC is in blocking state.
BPDU only sends on a single link of a port-channel. If BA dispute is detected, the entire vPC will be in the blocking state.
Do not enable BA on vPC.
VLANs on a vPC moved to suspend state
VLANs on a vPC may move to the suspend state.
|Possible Cause
VLANs on a vPC moved to suspend state.
VLANs allowed on the vPC have not been allowed on the vPC peer=link.
All VLANs allowed on a vPC must also be allowed on the vPC peer-link. Also, it is recommended that only vPC VLANs are allowed on the vPC peer-link.
Hosts with an HSRP Gateway Cannot Access Beyond Their VLAN
When HSRP is enabled on both vPC peer devices on a VLAN and hosts on that VLAN set the HSRP as their gateway, they may not able to reach anything outside their own VLAN.
|Possible Cause
Hosts with an HSRP gateway cannot access beyond their VLAN.
If the host gateway mac-address is mapped to the physical MAC address of any one of the vPC peer-devices, packets may get dropped due to the loop prevention mechanism in vPC.
Map the host gateway's mac-address to the HSRP MAC address and not the physical MAC address of any one of the vPC peer-devices. Peer-gateway can be a workaround for this scenario. Please read the configuration guide for peer-gateway for further information before implementing it.
Traffic Disrupted when the Primary vPC Device Goes Down
Traffic may remain disrupted when the N7K-M132XP-12 module on the primary vpc device goes down.
|Possible Cause
Traffic disrupted when the primary vPC device goes down.
All core facing interfaces and vPC peer-links are configured on a single N7K-M132XP-12 module.
Enable object tracking. With object tracking enabled, all vPC on the primary will shut down. The vPC secondary will take over as the operational primary and all the vPC on the secondary will stay up. As a result, traffic will still be flowing thru the secondary which became operational primary.

African Agency in International Politics
Jonathan Fisher
International Relations theory has tended to overlook the role of Africa and Africans in the international system. Traditionally, the discipline's most influential theorists have focused instead on relationships between and perspectives of "major powers." A growing body of work, however, has challenged these more limited efforts to conceptualize African agency in international politics. This scholarship has emphasized the significant space available to, and carved-out by, African states in molding the agendas of international institutions, and the role of African governments and advocacy networks in influencing the trajectory of major international debates around issues such as aid, development, trade, climate change, and migration. The study of African agency in international politics continues to wrestle with two key debates: the meanings of "agency" and "African." Much of the literature focuses primarily on the role and influence of African states rather than that of African citizens and communities. This focus provides, at best, only a partial and qualified view of the ways in which African agency is secured and exercised at the global level, particularly given the significant structural constraints imposed on Africa by global economic and political inequalities. The extent to which contemporary analysis captures the breadth of African engagement with the international system is also compromised by current state-centric approaches. It is thus necessary to examine a range of approaches adopted by scholars to deepen and nuance the study of African agency in international politics, including work on agenda-setting, mesolevel dynamics and microlevel dynamics.
Arms Control and Arms Reductions in Foreign Policy
Harald Mueller
Arms control is a strategy by governments to overcome the security dilemma with institutionalized cooperation. It comes in three versions, arms control proper, with stability as the main objective; non-proliferation as a sub-category of arms control, so understood with the main objective being to preserve the distributive status quo concerning certain weapon types; and disarmament, with the objective to eliminate a specific weapon type. Confidence building is a crosscutting functional concept lumping together many different measures that can serve all three versions.
Arms control does not reject self-help as a basis of national security, but entrusts a significant piece of it to cooperation with potential enemies. Hence, arms control—with the exception of unilateral, hegemonic arms control imposed on others, and of non-proliferation for preserving an existing oligopoly—is a difficult subject for realism and neorealism, but also for post-modernism. It presents a solvable puzzle for rationalists and no problem at all for constructivists who, to the contrary, can dig into norms, discourses, and identities.
Concerning stability and change, arms control can be looked at from two opposite perspectives. Since it aims at stability, critical security approaches have labeled it as a conservative, status quo orientated strategy. But there is also a transformational perspective: arms control as a vehicle to induce and reinforce a fundamental redefinition of the relationship between states. Naturally, the concept of disarmament shows the greatest affinity to the transformational perspective.
A related issue is whether arms control is a result of political circumstances, a dependent variable without a political impact of its own, or whether it has causal effect on interstate relations. Constructivism proposes a dialectical relationship in which arms control and broader policy influence each other. From this reflection, the question of the conditions of success and failure flows naturally. Conducive interstate relations (or extrinsic shocks), technology, domestic structures, learning, leadership, perception, and ideology have been candidates for the independent master variable.
Three models tackle the relationship of arms control and historical time: the enlightenment intuition of steady progress; a series of waves, each of which leaves the world in a more cooperative state than the previous one; and the circle—arms control ebbs and flows alternatively, but achievements are fully lost in each ebb period.
We can distinguish four arms control discourses: arms control as the maiden of deterrence; arms control subordinated to defense needs; arms control under the imperative of disarmament; and arms control as the instrument of human security, the survival and well-being of human individuals, notably civilians.
As with all politics, arms control involves justice issues: the distribution of values (security/power), access to participation in decision making, and the granting of recognition as legitimate actor. Arms control negotiations are ripe with justice claims, and failure through incompatible justice demands happens frequently. Also, emotions play a key role: frustration and ensuing resentment, anger, and existential fear can prevent success. Finally, compassion, empathy, and trust are ingredients in successful arms control processes.
Authenticity and Sustainability in Responsible Tourism
Jane Carnaffan
This is an advance summary of a forthcoming article in the Oxford Research Encyclopedia of Politics. Please check back later for the full article.
Tourism is important in debates on change and development because it is arguably the world's largest industry, a major driver of economic growth, and a high priority in developing countries' plans for economic development.
Discourses of responsible tourism claim to address the concerns surrounding mass, packaged tourism: principally, the lack of environmental and cultural authenticity and sustainability. Responsible tourism promises to fulfill tourists' desires to experience authenticity while having positive economic and social impacts. Proponents of this kind of tourism claim that, by creating a demand for these "goods," communities can protect and revive pristine environments and authentic cultures.
Authenticity plays an important role in the sustainable development discourse implicit in responsible tourism. However, there are tensions between authenticity, sustainability, and neo-liberal development whose historical trajectories can be traced from the 1970s to the present; from a rejection of market-led economic growth to delivering sustainability through market mechanisms. Critics have noted that the neo-liberalization of every aspect of development has been integral to the political agenda of global governance by institutions such as the World Bank. In short, by integrating sustainable development into neo-liberal mechanisms, alternatives to dominant market-led development are denied.
Tourism plays a major part in these debates because conceptualizations of authenticity have followed a similar path: from imaginations of pre-contact, harmonious idylls; to creation of "value-added" products; to conservation of natural environments; and preservation and revival of traditional cultures for tourist consumption. The turn away from modernization development paradigms and towards cultural revival is politically fraught. Whereas traditional cultures, admired by the West for their environmental sustainability and social cohesion, existed largely outside of global markets, under global neo-liberal regimes, cultural revival is delivered through market forces. Moreover, delivering cultural revival through tourism often de-politicizes highly contentious issues. This is particularly pertinent in Latin America, where the continent has been experiencing a "left turn" in formal politics, including indigenous cosmovisions in new constitutions.
Finally, debates on authenticity, sustainable development and tourism, and especially responsible tourism, are key to understandings of current political approaches to development.
Erica Frantz
Dictatorships have dominated global politics for hundreds of years, from the pharaohs of Egypt to the absolute monarchs of Europe. Though democracy has since spread to much of the world, about a third of today's countries are still ruled by dictatorship. And yet, compared to democracies, we know very little about how dictatorships work, who the key political actors are, and where decision-making powers lie. Political processes are opaque, and information is often intentionally distorted. Political survival depends not on maintaining the favor of voters, as in democracies, but on securing the backing of a considerably smaller coalition of supporters. The absence of a reliable third party to enforce compromises among key players means that power-sharing deals lack credibility and the threat of forced ouster is omnipresent. Uncertainty pervades authoritarian politics.
Modern autocrats respond to this uncertain environment in a variety of ways. They use political parties, legislatures, elections, and other institutions typically associated with democracies to lessen their risk of overthrow. Despite the façade of democracy, these institutions are key components of most autocrats' survival strategies; those that incorporate them last longer in power than those that do not. The specific ways in which autocratic institutions are used and the extent to which they can constrain leadership choices to prevent consolidation of power into the hands of a single individual, however, vary enormously from one dictatorship to the next. Better understanding the conditions that push autocracies down a path of collegial versus strongman rule remains a critical task, particularly given that the latter is associated with more war, economic mismanagement, and resistance to democratization.
Autocratic Regimes and Foreign Policy
Marianne Kneuer
The foreign policy of autocratic regimes reflects the research interest in the international behavior and decision making of domestic actors in nondemocratic regimes. The regime type (its nature, structure, leadership constellation, legitimation strategies, relation between leadership and public) thus is presumed to have explanatory power for the foreign policy actions and decisions of autocratic actors.
Capitalist Peace Theory: A Critical Appraisal
Gerald Schneider
Capitalist peace theory (CPT) has gained considerable attention in international relations theory and the conflict literature. Its proponents maintain that a capitalist organization of an economy pacifies states internally and externally. They portray CPT either as a complement or as a substitute to other liberal explanations such as the democratic peace thesis. They, however, disagree about the facet of capitalism that is supposed to reduce the risk of political violence. Key contributions have identified three main drivers of the capitalist peace phenomenon: the fiscal constraints that a laissez-faire regimen puts on potentially aggressive governments, the mollifying norms that a capitalist organization creates; and the increased ability of capitalist governments to signal their intentions effectively in a confrontation with an adversary. Defining capitalism narrowly through the freedom entrepreneurs enjoy domestically, this article evaluates the key causal mechanisms and empirical evidence that have been advanced in support of these competing claims. The article argues that CPT needs to be based on a narrow definition of capitalism and that it should scrutinize motives and constraints of the main actors more deeply. Future contributions to the CPT literature should also pay close attention to classic theories of capitalism, which all considered individual risk taking and the dramatic changes between booms and busts to be key constitutive features of this form of economic governance. Finally, empirical tests of the proposed causal mechanism should rely on data sets in which capitalists appear as actors and not as "structures." If the literature takes these objections seriously, CPT could establish itself as central theory of peace and war in two respects. First, it could serve as an antidote to the theory of imperialism and other "critical" approaches that see in capitalism a source of conflict rather than of peace. Second, it could become an important complement to commercial liberalism that stresses the external openness rather than the internal freedoms as an economic cause of peace and that particularly sees trade and foreign direct investment as pacifying forces.
Comparative Political Regimes: Consensus and Majoritarian Democracy
Matthijs Bogaards
Ever since Aristotle, the comparative study of political regimes and their performance has relied on classifications and typologies. The study of democracy today has been influenced heavily by Arend Lijphart's typology of consensus versus majoritarian democracy. Scholars have applied it to more than 100 countries and sought to demonstrate its impact on no less than 70 dependent variables. This paper summarizes our knowledge about the origins, functioning, and consequences of two basic types of democracy: those that concentrate power and those that share and divide power. In doing so, it will review the experience of established democracies and question the applicability of received wisdom to new democracies.
Constitutional Law
Axel Tschentscher
Research on constitutional law has come in different waves mirroring the development of states in recent decades. While the decolonization period of the 1960s still kept the old ties of constitutional "families," comparison based on such ties has become ever less persuasive since the 1980s wave of constitution making following the fall of the Berlin Wall. Research about de facto and de jure constitutional law now tends to embrace institutional details like judicial review powers and procedures of direct democracy. The field of comparative constitutional law is controversial both in methods and substance. It still lacks a consistent framework of comparative tools and is criticized as illegitimate by scholars who insist on the interpretive autonomy within each constitutional system.
Research in the area of fundamental rights has to deal with long-lasting controversies like the constitutionality of the death penalty. Bioethical regulation is another new field where constitutional positions tend to diverge rather than converge. Embryonic stem cell research, therapeutic cloning, pre-implantation genetic diagnosis, and surrogate motherhood are examples from biotechnology and reproductive medicine where constitutional scholars disagree about what, if anything, constitutional law can contribute to provide a basis or limit for regulation. With the worldwide rise of constitutional courts and judicial review, the standards for the interpretation of fundamental rights become more important. Legal scholarship has worked out the differences between the rule-oriented approach associated with Anglo-American legal systems versus the principle-based approach common to continental Europe.
Constitution-Making in Comparative Perspective
Gabriel L. Negretto
Constitution-making has been a central political activity in the modern era. Enacting a new constitution was an essential ingredient in the foundation of republics, the creation of new states, the inauguration of democratic regimes, and the reequilibration of democracies during or after a political crisis. Constitution writing has also become a crucial part of the process of overcoming a legacy of violent internal conflict and a component of authoritarian regimes that seek to gain legitimacy by emulating the formalities of representative democracies. This article surveys the most important concepts and issues related to the comparative analysis of constitution-making. Although it draws examples from constitutions made in a wide variety of settings, special attention is paid to constitutional texts adopted or implemented under competitive conditions.
Diplomacy in Foreign Policy
Kenneth Weisbrode
Diplomacy's role in foreign policy is hampered by multiple understandings of what diplomacy is and does. A broad definition of diplomacy holds that it encompasses more than the promotion of peaceful international relations. Instead, it applies to the sum of those relations—peaceful, hostile, and everything in between. Thus, foreign relations—so long as they involve the interests, direction, and actions of a sovereign power—may be regarded as being synonymous with diplomatic relations, whereby foreign policy relates to the theory and practice of setting diplomatic priorities; planning for contingencies; advancing strategic, operational, and tactical diplomatic aims; and adjusting those aims to domestic and foreign constraints. This conception of diplomacy is functional: it emphasizes the roles of diplomats and recognizes that many other people perform these roles besides official envoys; and it illustrates that diplomatic settings—and the means, methods, and tools of diplomacy—undergo continuous change. The basic mediating purpose of diplomacy, however, has endured, as has much of its institutional apparatus—embassies, ambassadors, treaties, and so on. This is likely to remain the case so long as there are multiple polities in the world, all having to relate to one another.

The Bachelor of Science in Computer Science-Business is a 136 credit program that combines the traditional Computer Science major with ten foundational business courses. This interdisciplinary curriculum provides students with an understanding of the principles and applications of computer science and provides students with the knowledge to make them competent in a business environment.
Since this is an interdisciplinary program, the business portion has more credits than a traditional minor and fewer credits than a double major. The 8 foundational business courses cover the pre-requisite business content required of most MBA programs. There are two business electives included so students can specialize in a particular area of business which is compatible with their career goals.
In order to distinguish this degree from the traditional B.S. Computer Science degree, diplomas and transcripts will reflect the interdisciplinary nature of this program by listing the degree as B.S. in Computer Science-Business.
Computer Science-Business majors wishing to complete major requirements at another institution must complete them at a four-year institution and have permission from the Department Chairperson. To maintain the academic rigor of the program, at least 50% of all science, computer science, mathematics and business courses must be taken at King's College.

Free. Fair. Fearless. Intelligentsiya is made up of Fiji Islanders who are libertarians in their own way and who cherish the free flow of news, ideas and information and will peacefully resist any attempts by the country's military rulers to stifle free speech. intelligentsiya will also bear witness, report and discuss human rights abuses by the authorities.
May 01, 2007
It's 9am – do you know where your people are?
While Frank and Mahend are doing the "schmooze" thing with ACP visitors at Denarau Island, the Junta continues to do what they know best.
Leweni maintains that the Public Emergency regulations will be lifted only WHEN THEY DECIDE there are no threats to national security…sounds like his broken "need to know" record on the Close-Up programme...whatever.
Driti's doing another round of deflection, this time slamming Rabuka. It is not a pretty sight to be seeing military men flexing publicly. Driti has just given away his Achilles heel. That of media whore without the substance to back-up any measure of credibility.
Last but not least Ms Tebbutt of the FABC and her take on the "smart but smarter" sanctions needs a mention. First of all from a very pragmatic angle, the Immigration Dept of Oz does not have the time to be assessing travel needs on a case-by-case basis. They serve the immigration needs of maaaaaaany people and it is extremely labour intensive for them to be doing background checks on all of Fiji's little wanna-be "forward movers".
Secondly if the "strong people" who she mentions as probable worthy candidates were really interested in moving the country forward, what the hell does going to Australia have to do with it? Their core responsibilities should be in Fiji and fixing it up. If they need to contact Australia (whatever for is my question as most of our aid programmes are probably frozen), Fiji is not Timbuktu and telecommunications are quite advanced i.e. video conferencing and the good ol' telephone.
Sorry Caz but your sanctions "raw data" needs more work.
Any-old-whoo...stay at home today and chill out. I'm off to join Capt Freedom's crew for a bit of early morning kava!
Keep a note in your diaries...May 3rd is Media Freedom Day.

I'm glad I'm work, whoever came up with the idea of staying away from work is delusioned, just wondering whether he has a job with the amount of time he spends on the blog, unless he's willing to pay for the loss of salary incurred for staying home....... democracy is coming people, no need to be haters, everyone is getting what's coming to them..no one will escape the long arm of the law...well with the exception of Rabuka...lol

I have always appreciated the fact that Intelligentsiya, unlike the RFC blog site, which openly encourages violent and active racism and supports the torture of children, has always asbstained from going beyond what the site was initially setup for - passive and diplomatic resistance to future coups, a quick return to democracy and a honest society for children to grow up in. I would urge Intelligentsiya not to publish any comments which encourage racial violence towards the innocent civilians of our society or support a blogger who is a proponent of such extremist behavior. The site has (to some extent) focussed on the real issues and I commend the author(s) for this. It is interesting to read your articles (even though they come a little slow at times!) and it feels good to be able to participate in a community of discussions where we are able to discuss issues rationally without resorting to behavior below us.
Keep up the good work and I look forward to reading more articles (no made-up stories like RFC please!) on this site in the future!

Hello May 1 call was a flop
Everybody is at work without a stop
Except the fools from this blog
Who seem to be sipping the grog
Without any care for Fiji
That will only ruin Fiji

Look folks as a moderator we have to say that we won't be allowing any more "hater" comments about other blogs.
The choice is yours every time you point and click on a URL.
You make your choice but don't detract others who choose to visit them. If you do want to "detract" then by all means start your own blog and do it there -- just don't do any hating over here.
- 1 May 2007 at 18:23
- Bainivore said...
haha. For all those military based nuts that sent in their comments about May 1...you've missed the point all together.
The fact is the people of this country really really want to take FIji forward, it's just that they want to take Fiji forward without the likes of Voreqe, Driti, Lewenski, Ganilau, Nailatikau, Chaudhry, and all those other coup apologists and supporters who have
The very fact that that Mr Ram came out in public to state that any civil servant staying home today will be punished is a point in itself - this protest has won!
Wether people stayed at home or not, the fact is the illegal interim administration has covered up to once again deny us our rights to express and voice our opinions on the matter at hand - They won't accept any opinion but theirs.
The fact that Lewenski thought it necessary to make a public statement denying any success of this protest is success enough for the protest. It means that the illegal military administration is still trying to suppress the voice of this nation - they've done it with the GCC and will continue to do it to the people of Fiji.
Fact: Emergency Decree has been extended for another month.
Fact: People stayed home, or just didn't work (i know my civil servant friends turned up to work but didn't do anything at all!)
Fact: Lewenski and other pro-military nuts thought it necessary to make public statements denying this protest's publicity.
That was publicity in itself.
So I went to work late (lewenski you reading this) and as a civil servant, did what civil servants are famous for...Fiji Time.
The fact is, as a civil servant, I do not agree with the military administration and the illegal coup perpetrators. Voreqe in 2005 harped on about not giving coup perpetrators amnesty and instead gave him and his men amnesty within 6 weeks of carrying out his own coup.
Lewenski just made a complete fool of himself on Sunday's Close Up program, and again in today's Fiji TV news broadcast re: an article written by someone with far more intellect that lewenski could ever dream of!.
I call upon the people of FIji to continue protesting, keep pushing for the return of Elections as early as possible! Get rid of this illegal military administration run by fools and criminals!
As a civil servant, I know I will!
ps: Yes the Govnet Administrators have banned any browsing to the notorious blogspots. This can be easily done at ITC Services by their administrators. I believe this place is now run by a Naval Commander.

hello "keep the faith."
Thank you for your words of wisdom. I think the reason I chose to highlight the RFC site is because of the articles they publish, some of which, is beginning to border on terrorism and militia styled behavior. I chose to commend your site because it does not stoop to that level and encourages dialogue rather than calling on all Fijians to rally against all the Indians and such ideas as can be found on the RFC site. What really worries me is the comments and suggestions made on the site with some members suggesting that the children of the coup plotters be harmed physically or even killed if possible. The RFC author's rely heavily on your site's prominence to gain support for their site and it was my hope that Intelligentsiya would not encourage this site any more by removing its link from the links widget on this website.
Please understand that there is a slow but steadily growing dissent against RFC because of their recent articles which urged for bloodshed and violence throughout our society and it would perhaps be prudent to dis-associate this site from the RFC site.

Hi All!!! Here's a nifty little trick I use at work to bypass the work firewall which blocks sites such as blog sites or any site the company wants blocked. I go to http://anonymouse.org/anonwww.html, enter the url of the banned site and hit the "Surf Anonymously" button to start browsing anonymously and bypassing the firewall altogether.
If any of your readers are having trouble browsing at work, you can always use the suggested method.

George Wythe
George Wythe (1726-1806) was Thomas Jefferson's legal mentor. Wythe was educated by his mother, passing the bar in York County, Virginia, in 1748. He rose in prominence and was elected a member of the House of Burgesses and to the office of attorney general.
William Small introduced Jefferson to Wythe when Jefferson was a student at the College of William and Mary. Small, Wythe, Governor Fauquier, and Jefferson shared many dinners at the Governor's Palace, where Jefferson received an "unofficial" political and cultural education. Jefferson would study law under Wythe from 1762 until 1767.
In 1775, Wythe joined Jefferson, Richard Henry Lee, Benjamin Harrison, Thomas Nelson, Jr., Francis Lightfoot Lee, and Carter Braxton at the Continental Congress. Wythe became one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence. After returning to Virginia, Wythe played a role in creating the state's new constitution and served with Jefferson on the committee that revised Virginia's laws. Wythe also sat on the committee to design Virginia's seal.
In 1779, Wythe assumed a professorship of law and policy at the College of William and Mary and remained there until 1789. He served as a judge on the High Court of Chancery and was elected as a Virginia delegate to the Constitutional Convention, but resigned due to his wife's illness. He died in 1806, allegedly poisoned by his grandnephew, George Sweeney.
Jefferson wrote a brief sketch of Wythe near the end of his own lifetime.1
