From the site's title, you should pretty much be able to figure out what we do. Okay, fine, I'll spell it out for you -- we recap the plots of various video games, using sarcasm as well as a slew of penis jokes.
And now we're blogging, too! You can hardly contain your excitement. I suggest you do so anyway. We don't need to see that shit.
If you prefer your humor clean and respectful, this probably isn't the place for you. If you are a teenage boy who can't stand to see people on the internet call your favorite game characters homosexual, this probably isn't the place for you. If you expect your humor to be tailored to your specific tastes, this probably isn't the place for you. All angry e-mails will be mocked.
We have registration open to the general public, so we'd love to hear from you. That is, unless you are one of those people who's just showing up to make things unpleasant for us. Then, you'll be deleted and your posts will be mocked.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is added seven hazardous waste sites to the National Priorities List (NPL) of Superfund sites. They include two facilities in York, NE and single facilities in Norphlet, AK; Windham, ME; Fairfield, NJ; Ridgewood, NY and Collierville, TN. Superfund is the federal program that investigates and cleans up the most complex, uncontrolled or abandoned hazardous waste sites in the country to protect people's health and the environment.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is added seven hazardous waste sites to the National Priorities List (NPL) of Superfund sites. They are:
- MacMillan Ring Free Oil (former oil refinery) - Norphlet, AK
- Keddy Mill (former sawmill, grist and wool carding mill) - Windham, ME
- PCE Southeast Contamination (ground water plume) - York, NE
- PCE/TCE Northeast Contamination (ground water plume) - York, NE
- Unimatic Manufacturing Corporation (former chemical manufacturer) - Fairfield, NJ
- Wolff-Alport Chemical Company (former metal extraction facility) - Ridgewood, NY
- Walker Machine Products, Inc. (former machine screw products manufacturer) - Collierville, TN
Superfund is the federal program that investigates and cleans up the most complex, uncontrolled or abandoned hazardous waste sites in the country to protect people's health and the environment. "Cleaning up contaminated land is critical to the protection of human health and the environment," said Mathy Stanislaus, assistant administrator for EPA's Office of Solid Waste and Emergency Response. "Superfund cleanups also play an important role in advancing the economic well-being of communities by turning formerly idle properties into productive community assets that can broaden tax bases, create jobs, enhance property values and support improved overall well-being."
The Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA), the law establishing the Superfund program, requires EPA to update the NPL at least annually and clean up hazardous waste sites to protect human health with the goal of returning them to communities for productive use. A site's listing neither imposes a financial obligation on EPA nor assigns liability to any party. Updates to the NPL do, however, provide policymakers with a list of high priority sites, serving to identify the size and nature of the nation's cleanup challenges.
The Superfund program has provided important benefits for people and the environment since Congress established the program in 1980.Those benefits are both direct and indirect, and include reduction of threats to human health and ecological systems in the vicinity of Superfund sites, improvement of the economic conditions and quality of life in communities affected by hazardous waste sites, prevention of future releases of hazardous substances, and advances in science and technology.
Superfund actions frequently convert contaminated land into productive local resources and increase local property values by eliminating or reducing real and perceived health risks and environmental contamination associated with hazardous waste sites. A study conducted by researchers at Duke and Pittsburgh Universities concluded that, while a site's proposal to the NPL reduces property values slightly, making a site final on the NPL begins to increase property values surrounding Superfund sites.

Mass. gov.: I like Dem. primary for Kerry seat
Deval Patrick 'anticipates' more Democrats to get into race
Gov. Deval Patrick likes the idea of a contested Democratic primary in the anticipated special Senate election to fill John Kerry's seat if Kerry is confirmed as secretary of state.
Patrick told reporters Thursday that he anticipates more Democratic candidates getting into the race.
So far Congressman Ed Markey is the only announced Democratic candidate. Former Sen. Scott Brown is weighing a run on the Republican side.
Other possible Democratic candidates, should Kerry step down, include U.S. Reps. Michael Capuano and Stephen Lynch and state Rep. Ben Downing.
Some Democratic activists hope to avoid what they fear could be a divisive and expensive primary campaign.
They point to the successful election of Sen. Elizabeth Warren, who avoided a primary challenge and went on to unseat Brown last year.

Boehner's Fiscal Long Game
House Republicans are in a bind. They control the chamber of Congress in which all tax and spending bills originate, giving them some responsibility for the nation's fiscal policy. But Democrats hold the White House and Senate, meaning that the GOP's ideas on taxes and spending won't actually get very far.
John Boehner's battalions were supposed to fight an epic battle with President Barack Obama over spending during the fiscal cliff negotiations. That was a big part of the point of the cliff in the first place, to impose deficit reduction on a balky Congress. Instead they voted to delay the automatic spending cuts by months and extend more than 80 percent of the Bush tax cuts.
Having decided they had no leverage in the fiscal cliff battle, House Republicans vowed to fight instead over the debt ceiling increase. The GOP was committed to the idea that additional borrowing authority should be matched dollar-for-dollar by spending cuts, making a higher debt limit less of a blank check. Last week, House Republicans instead passed a three-month extension of the debt ceiling with no spending cuts but some promises to revisit spending in May.
Naturally, many conservatives feel they are being played. Spending cuts always come later. When the GOP is out of power, they must wait until they have won the next election to address the size of government. When Republicans are in power, they must not do anything to the budget that might make spending-addicted voters throw them out.
Thirty-three Republicans voted against Boehner's latest budgetary gambit, describing it as another Washington game of "kick the can." The national debt is zooming past $16 trillion, the unfunded liabilities of Social Security and Medicare are growing, deficits mount, all with no end in sight.
These rebellious Tea Partiers have correctly diagnosed the nation's fiscal problems, but their recommended cures have no chance of becoming law under the political circumstances that will prevail until at least 2015, and probably 2017. Even if Republicans retake the Senate in next year's midterm elections, Obama isn't likely to embrace austerity.
Republicans have managed to make fiscal responsibility look irresponsible. A government shutdown might not be the end of the world. There's a case to be made that the feds could also function without borrowing power and not default. But these possibilities are very unsettling in an economy with enough uncertainty, and while the House GOP has tried to wield them as leverage to extract spending concessions most people just don't take the threats seriously.
Democrats and the president get to pose as responsible bill-payers (even though they are just putting more on the country's tab) while the Republicans are ideologically crazed "hostage takers" risking downgrade and default. Then at the last minute, the House caves in exchange for modest concessions, enraging its remaining conservative supporters.
So the Republican leadership is finally trying to change this political equation. They have shifted the spending fight from the debt ceiling to the sequester and continuing resolution. They are withholding congressional paychecks if lawmakers can't produce a budget, something the Democratic Senate has failed to do since 2009. And they are committed to balancing the budget in ten years, at least seven years earlier than the last House spending blueprint.
Republicans are betting that the American people will be more receptive to "No Budget, No Pay" than a spending debate that occurs against the backdrop of default rumors. The House leadership also thinks Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid is a less sympathetic sparring partner than Obama. The sequester, like the expiration of the Bush tax cuts, is something already baked into current law, giving them additional leverage.
By proposing to balance the budget more quickly and standing by the dollar amount of the sequester (while remaining open to negotiating the exact composition of the cuts), the leadership won over many House conservatives. The Republican Study Committee's chairman and three of his predecessors backed the legislation. So did two members of Justin Amash's Liberty Caucus, Raul Labrador and Kerry Bentivolio.
"We can't get rattled," Paul Ryan explained at the National Review Institute summit over the weekend. "We won't play villain in [Obama's] morality play." That's as good a description as any of the role the GOP has played until now, one they cannot afford to reprise.
Time will tell whether this is another in a long line of Republican surrenders or a clever tactical withdrawal.

Whether you're a group of students collaborating on a project or part of a team at work developing a budget proposal, you need productivity tools that are available across your devices, support your mobility needs, and perform well in every situation, to ensure you and your team can collaborate whenever and wherever necessary to make your job easier. Think, when was the last time you worked on something that did not require input from others? When did you last work on a project that was not shared to receive feedback or approval? A sizable portion of today's work happens in groups and collaboration is essential.
We all use different devices to get our work done, wherever and whenever we want. Being able to access our content and getting work done is an implicit need. This not only gives users the freedom to be in control of their time, but also helps them collaborate more effectively with other team members and succeed in getting their work done as a team.
Familiarity of Office: For many years, users have relied on rich Office templates to quickly start creating documents. The familiar Office ribbon makes it easy to find the relevant actions so you can edit your documents. Easy formatting capabilities enable you to change the picture styles or chart styles in Word or Excel and help you to create and edit rich Office documents. The recommended charts in Excel help you analyze, manipulate and visualize data quickly. The variety of transitions and animations in PowerPoint help you tell a story with real impact.
Because you and your team members are already familiar with Office, you can avoid the confusion of wondering where to find some feature or function and trying to figure out how to use it. So instead of staying late at the office and missing the party that everyone will be talking about on Monday, you can finish your work more quickly and enjoy the party.
Office File Fidelity: Office provides a consistent experience across devices so no matter what device you access the document, spreadsheet, or presentation from, that familiar experience moves with you. If you open an Office document, spreadsheet or presentation on a PC, you will get the rich Office experience you've come to expect. Open that same Office file on an iPad, and the look and feel will be the same—right down to the formatting.
You want your ideas and creativity to be intact as you collaborate with other team members using different devices? With Office available on both PC and iPad, you can easily share Office documents among team members without worrying about losing the fidelity of the standard Office document format. Even when a feature is not supported on a particular device, Office retains the file fidelity and document formatting. So when you reopen the document on a platform that does support the feature, all capabilities are intact.
On the other hand, if someone on your team moves the file to Google Drive and opens it to make changes, you no longer experience that familiar Office look and the formatting is a mess, will likely be recreating the formatting and making sure no content was lost. No matter what kind of group project you're collaborating on, you don't want to waste time reformatting and finalizing the collective work of your team, or worrying whether one or more of your team members is unable to share in the rich Office experience on their devices.
Why settle for a suboptimal experience using Google Docs, Sheets and Slides when Office provides you the best experience available with the modern Office experience on PC and iPad already. Office will be available on other platforms soon. These Office experiences will continue to make collaborating across devices easier, richer and more complete than ever.
If you are a student working on a group project watch this video to see how Office can help you be successful at school. If you are collaborating in teams at work, see how the Office experience can help you succeed at teamwork.

Saving up enough dough in order to purchase your first car can be a seemingly endless task, especially when your main source of income comes from a paper route. Add in the fact that you are only 13 years old and won't be able drive the thing for another two and a half years, and that's what we'd call a big bag of patience. And if that's not enough, early on Shane McEllhenney knew the car he was saving up for would be a Camaro.
"My dad had two Camaros while I was growing up: a split-bumper '70 and an '85 IROC-Z, which he still has, so I always figured my first ride would be a Camaro," remembers Shane. "Having a V-8-powered car was going against my mom's wishes, but my dad felt I could handle it and was on the lookout for a respectable third-gen."
By the time Shane was 15 he'd saved up a good chunk of money to go towards a car. Repeated sightings of a '91 parked on the side of a garage in town got Shane's dad to stop by and inquire if it was for sale. It wasn't. In fact, the woman who owned the car was proud of its reliability, especially for the fact that the A/C still blew ice-cold. Somehow Shane's dad talked her into taking $2,000 for the metallic green '91.
"It wasn't exactly what I had in mind," Shane comments. "The paint was faded and peeling, and it had pink pinstripes. What it did have going for it was a strong-running 305 with 143,000 miles on the odometer. Even though I wasn't legally old enough to drive it on the street, I parted ways with my savings and ended up with the car. My buddies and I must have gone through two tanks of gas driving back and forth in my driveway."
A few weeks post purchase, Shane had the car torn apart in his dad's garage and was prepping it for new paint and weatherstrip. The pink pinstripe wasn't going to cut it and the overall paint had to go, too.
Once Shane finally got to driving age, the car was painted and looking good. It did duty as his daily driver all through high school. "It wasn't long after high school when I got the itch for more power, so I purchased a rough '84 Camaro that came with a ZZ4 350 crate engine."
Once again the car ended up apart in his dad's garage, only this time an engine swap was the chore at hand. During the process Shane came across some rust in the quarters, which led to some serious bodywork. More on that later.
While going through the engine Shane figured a street machine build would suffice. Nothing too over the top as he enjoyed driving it on the street now and again. He kept the mill street friendly with 10:1-compression pistons. He assembled the 350 using GM aluminum heads; COMP Cams Magnum pushrods, Pro Magnum rockers, then stabbed it with a Mutha' Thumpr hydraulic roller. A Holley 750-cfm double-pumper establishes the proper air/fuel mix while the Edelbrock Air-Gap intake manifold distributes the explosive concoction. An MSD 6AL lights the fire while ceramic-coated Hedman Elite Hedders dump waste through twin 2 1/2-inch Dynomax exhausts capped off with a double dose of Race Bullet mufflers.
Paradise Automatic beefed up the 700-R4 trans and dialed in a TCI Street Fighter 3,000-stall converter and shift kit controlled by a B&M Pro Stick shifter. Although a posi and 3.73 gears reside in a 10-bolt case, Shane's reserved the spot for a 12-bolt. A power-adder is also in the works. He's leaning towards a supercharger, but that's a good amount of scratch he'll need to save up for.
"Recently buying a home has put Camaro upgrades on back burner for the time being," Shane confesses. "But if I had unlimited funds, this car would be busting out over 1,000 horsepower."
Shane has yet to dyno the combination, but estimates the horsepower range to be around 420 to the tires. Still enough grunt to have a good time and grab a little attention when he takes the car out on the town.
The mildly upgraded suspension includes a BMR tubular K-member, A-arms and adjustable coilovers up front, while BMR tubular control arms and 2-inch drop springs reside out back. For additional chassis stiffness, Shane went with a set of S&W subframe connectors. SSBC slotted and drilled disc brakes handle stopping duties up front while the stock drums remain out back ... for now.
With the aggressive stance firmly in place, Weld RTS wheels (15x6 up front, 15x8 out back) wrapped in M&H Racemaster rubber (165/75-R15 front, 275/60-R15 rear) complement the drag-style scene Shane invoked on the RS.
Beyond the Auto Meter Sport Comp gauges, the interior adheres to a mostly stock appearance, although an Alpine head unit manages the Infinity speakers lodged in the kick panels and 10-inch Kicker subs in the rear.
A bodyman by trade, Shane handled the bodywork and prep after-hours and on weekends at the shop he works at, so we had better mention Superior Paint & Collision in New Holland, Pennsylvania.
While in the body prep process, it was discovered the quarter-panels had an overwhelming amount of rust. Shane was able to locate a fresh set and got busy.
"I worked on the car for about a year and a half," recalls Shane. "This was my first really involved build and I learned a lot. It was all worth it, though. Now the car looks great and is totally rust-free, and I get tons of compliments when I take it out."
Fellow employee Matt Hoover applied the PPG Dark Bright Teal Metallic and black stripes while Duane Mellinger knocked out the wet-sand and buffing portion. The result is a deep, liquefied appearance making for an outstanding show-quality paintjob.
Being this is Shane's first car, he's proud of the fact that he's been able to restore it to where it is now. Yes, there was a time or two when selling it crossed his mind, but fortunately he stuck with the car, and after seven years, he still loves getting it out to shows as weather permits.
"I'm really looking forward to doing more upgrades on the car," said Shane. "Besides a 12-bolt and rear disc brakes, I want to add a rollcage, mini-tubs, and of course, like mentioned earlier, a lot more power."
As with most projects taken on by young guns, it sometimes takes a little extra support to get to the completed stage. "I want to thank my dad for allowing me to take over his garage on not one, but two occasions," said Shane. "And also my grandparents for their generous donation towards the project."
It may be a while before Shane does any major upgrades to this gorgeous third-gen, but that's OK with him. He's cruising the baddest '91 Camaro on the streets of Ephrata, Pennsylvania.

Adding to the fun are 12 mini-games that have been designed to keep players engaged and entertained throughout gameplay such as "Get out of Jail" where you saw prison cell bars to escape and "Take a Ride on the Reading" which challenges gamers to stop on-time at each train station.
"Monopoly fans worldwide will be enthused about trying their hand at 'winning it all' with this modern classic," said Mark Blecher, General Manager of Digital Media and Gaming at Hasbro. "EA has done a great job of digitally recreating one of the world's best-selling board games, adding features that make the digital experience fresh and fun, but honoring the integrity of Monopoly's history."
MONOPOLY for the Wii, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 all have a MSRP of $39.99 while the PlayStation 2 version carries a retail price of $29.99. All MONOPOLY games are rated "E" for Everyone. The Pogo.com version of MONOPOLY Here & Now: The World Edition, which more than 1.5 million people have already played, is available for free at http://www.pogo.com/games/monopoly, while the mobile phone versions are available through major mobile carriers with price varying by carrier.

Note to potential whistleblowers in DetroitTuesday, September 28th, 2010
To any whistleblowers in the Detroit region:
I am not sure why, but someone has told you to direct your complaints to Thomas Hugh Chodzko, the Detroit region's Assistant Regional Census Manager. It has been verified from multiple sources that Mr. Chodzko is in cahoots with Dwight Dean, the corrupt long-time head of the Detroit office who is currently under investigation for his activities. (As we recently noted, Mr. Dean "retired" as of September 1.) It appears that if you contact Mr. Chodzko, your complaints will never reach the appropriate authorities in Washington. Instead, please contact the Commerce Department Inspector General and the Government Accountability Office. The letter below shows that Mr. Chodzko is writing (and signing letters — look at the signature closely) on Mr. Dean's behalf:

Instagram has evidently made one more change, hopefully the last, to their API for publishing photos to the service. We can now confirm that users can upload to the network using third party apps like Instance, and that those photos are public (unlike the last change). That's an improvement from yesterday, where posting was blocked only to return later, but with photos marked as 'private'.
At this point, it is unclear if Instagram is reversing course out of good will or if this was part of their plan, with the side effect of monkeying with third-party apps. Regardless, if you have Instance on your Windows Phone, you should be able to directly post without any compromises. No telling how long that will last though.
A recent post via Instance to Instagram is now public
The developer behind Instance, Daniel Gary, has reportedly figured out how to embed the required information that Instagram scans in images upon posting. When that info is missing, the service deletes the photo as it is considered "foreign" (think of how antibodies work). A fix for Instance is reportedly on the way with final testing going on now, though it won't be the anticipated version 2.0 which is still being developed. That hot-fix will be pushed to the Store as soon as possible to hopefully prevent future outages, though at the moment it appears to not be needed.
Likewise, Rudy Huyn, who is developing #6tagram for posting to the photo network, has also cracked the mysterious Instagram APIs. His app is now working, as demonstrated in a posted video, though since it is still in development the general public cannot take advantage of it quite yet. Similar to Instance, presumably when #6tagram does come out, it will be future-proofed against Instagram's policies, should they revert back to the new API standard.
Instagram has gone on record to the press and even customers directly that they were not seeking to block third party apps, just update their security to prevent malicious posting and spam. It's still not clear though that if the back and forth changes are related to technical adjustments on their end or if they are responding to bad press. Because of that uncertainty, the stability and continued ability to upload to Instagram is unclear. That means as soon as this article goes live, the ability could be lost again.
Users are encouraged to use apps like Oggl or Instagraph as backup, should they want to retain their posting abilities to the hipster photo network without complications.
Thanks, Rich D., for the tip!

The Acer T230H is a 24-inch touch-screen monitor available for as low as $360. The monitor includes screen height adjustment, swivel, and tilt. Unfortunately, its performance, though not near the worst we've seen, cannot compete with the likes of the Samsung SyncMaster XL2370 in games or movies. The T230H is fine at general tasks and includes a nifty touch-screen feature, but it's too pricey if you're interested only in surfing the Web and writing Word docs. Its touch-screen functionality (only with Windows 7) is an entertaining novelty, but without the option to tilt the screen back all the way so that it faces directly up, you will find your arms fatigued very quickly. The Acer T230H's disappointing performance means we can't recommend it over cheaper, better performing monitors like the Samsung SyncMaster XL2370.
Design and Features
The 23-inch Acer T230H is a 16:9 aspect ratio monitor with a dark gray bezel and a glossy, black foot stand. The sleek foot stand has two 9-inch long "toes" that extend out from the neck of the display, each at a 45-degree angle, with the full width of the span measuring 19.8 inches.
Knocking the display from the sides yielded minimal wobbling, as the display's wide stance and 17-pound weight kept it fairly grounded. The screen height is adjustable by 3.4 inches, and at its lowest the distance from the bottom of the bezel to the desktop is about 2.6-inches. The screen swivels 20 degrees left and right, and tilts back 15 degrees and forward 5 degrees. No pivot option is included.
The panel measures 1.6 inches; the connection options and ventilation system add another 1.4 inches, bringing the full panel depth to 3 inches. The panel's full width measures 22.3 inches. The angular bezel measures 1.1 inches on the sides. The screen has a very glossy coating. On the neck of the stand is a hole for routing the cords to keep them neat and tidy.
Connection options include one HDMI, one DVI, a single VGA port, and one USB upstream port. Also, in a rare move by a monitor vendor, Acer includes cables for all three connections, including an audio cable for the built-in speakers. All connections sit on the back right of the panel and are fairly easily accessible, but are tucked into the monitor a little more than we'd like. The neck can be removed from the four screw holes and the display mounted on the wall, VESA-style.
The OSD array is aligned horizontally in the lower right-hand corner of the bezel and includes the power button, left and right buttons (which double as volume controls), as well as a menu, AUTO, and 'e' (preset shortcut) buttons. The power button emits a blue light that slightly illuminates the button array.
The OSD includes five presets; User, Text, Standard, Graphics, and Movie. It also includes controls for brightness, contrast, color temperature, and the option to change the color temperature and the red, green, and blue values individually. Navigating the OSD has a short learning curve and soon became second nature, although it's not quite as simple as Dell's.
The Acer T230H's 16:9 aspect ratio supports a "Full HD" native resolution of 1,920×1,080 pixels. This continues the trend of more and more monitor vendors moving toward 16:9 from 16:10, because high-definition content–in particular 1080p movies–can fit onto a 1,920×1,080-pixel screen in full-screen mode without stretching the image.
Manufacturer's specs:
Resolution: 1920×1080
Pixel-response rate: 2ms
Contrast ratio: Dynamic Contrast Ratio: 80,000:1
Connectivity: HDMI, DVI, VGA
HDCP compliant? Yes
Included video cables? HDMI, DVI, VGA
Brightness: 300 cd/m2
Backlight: CCFL
Panel Type: TN
We tested the Acer T230H with its DVI connection. The display posted a composite score of 86 on CNET Labs' DisplayMate-based performance tests, coming in much lower than the Samsung SyncMaster XL2370's 96. The T230H had good overall DisplayMate performance; however, its poor performance in the Dark Screen test mirrored Acer's H243H and H233H. During this test–where we have the monitor display a plain, black screen–the clouding or backlight bleeding was obvious and overt. However, the biggest performance issue of the T230H is its color-tracking problem, specifically its tendency to display images with a noticeable green tint. The tint is diminished when using the Warm color temperature, but in the User preset it is very apparent.
The T230H achieved a brightness score of 230 candelas per square meter (cd/M2) and a very low contrast ratio of 320:1. By comparison, the Samsung SyncMaster XL2370 posted a brightness and contrast ratio of 344 cd/m2 and 1008:1 respectively. This low contrast ratio can be attributed to the display's incapability to display a close approximation to black. Its black is more of a medium gray.
We used the T230H's Movie preset to check out "Kill Bill: Vol. 1" on DVD and a number of 1080p movie files from Microsoft's WMV HD Showcase. We also looked at the same movies on Samsung's XL2370. In both "Kill Bill" and the 1080p movies, we found that the T230H had an overall green tint to its images when directly compared with the XL2370. In the User preset, we noticed the monitor over saturates colors near peak white, but in the Warm preset, the saturation isn't anywhere near as pronounced and colors are more accurate.
We looked at World of Warcraft and Unreal Tournament 3 and noticed no signs of input lag or any streaking or ghosting during fast movement. Colors in games on the Acer T230H looked muted compared with the full and vibrant colors we saw on the Samsung SyncMaster XL2370. We recommend the Warm preset when playing games.
The optimal viewing angle for a monitor is usually directly in front, about a quarter of the screen's distance down from the top. At this angle, you're viewing the colors and gamma correction as they were intended. Most monitors are not made to be viewed at any other angle. Depending on its panel type, picture quality at non-optimal angles varies. Most monitors use TN panels, which get overly bright or overly dark in parts of the screen when viewed from non-optimal angles. The Acer T230H uses a TN panel, and when viewed from the side or bottom, we perceived the screen darken about 6 inches off from center. Of course, when viewed from the optimal angle, we had no problems.
The T230H includes touch-screen support if running on a Windows 7 system. Thanks to Windows 7's support for large icons, we were able to accurately "click" them for the most part, although we still preferred the mouse for all applications. Also, since the screen doesn't tilt 90 degrees back (it tilts back only 15 degrees), which would make using this functionality easier on the arms, you'll find your arms get fatigued quite easily after only a few minutes of use.
At the highest volume, sound from the Acer T230H's built-in speakers was tinny and harsh, as it lacked enough bass to balance the sound. The speakers are located on the top, back of the monitor, so they were prone to sounding a bit muffled. The speakers don't deliver great sound by any stretch, but once you get used to it, it's not uncomfortable to listen to.

According to The New York Times, President Bush was genuinely surprised to learn from moderate Islamic leaders that they had become deeply distrustful of American intentions. The report on the ''perception gap'' suggests that the leader of the war on terror has no idea how badly that war -- which must, ultimately, be a war for hearts and minds -- is going.
Mr. Bush's ignorance may reflect his lack of curiosity: ''The best way to get the news,'' he says, ''is from objective sources. And the most objective sources I have are people on my staff.'' Two words: emperor, clothes.
But there's something broader going on: a sort of willful ignorance, supposedly driven by moral concerns but actually reflecting domestic politics. Surely it's important to understand how others see us, but a new, post 9/11 version of political correctness has made it difficult even to discuss their points of view. Any American who tries to go beyond ''America good, terrorists evil,'' who tries to understand -- not condone -- the growing world backlash against the United States, faces furious attacks delivered in a tone of high moral indignation. The attackers claim to be standing up for moral clarity, and some of them may even believe it. But they are really being used in a domestic political struggle.
Last week I found myself caught up in that struggle. I wrote about why Mahathir Mohamad, Malaysia's prime minister -- a clever if loathsome man who adjusts the volume of his anti-Semitism depending on circumstances -- chose to include an anti-Jewish diatribe in his speech to an Islamic conference. Sure enough, I was accused in various places not just of ''tolerance for anti-Semitism'' (yes, I'm Jewish) but of being in Mr. Mahathir's pay. Smear tactics aside, the thrust of the attacks was that because anti-Semitism is evil, anyone who tries to understand why politicians foment anti-Semitism -- and looks for ways other than military force to combat the disease -- is an apologist for anti-Semitism and is complicit in evil.
Yet that moral punctiliousness is curiously selective. Last year the Bush administration, in return for a military base in Uzbekistan, gave $500 million to a government that, according to the State Department, uses torture ''as a routine investigation technique,'' and whose president has killed opponents with boiling water. The moral clarity police were notably quiet.
Why is aiding a brutal dictator O.K., while trying to understand why others don't trust us -- and doing something to create that trust -- isn't? Why won't the administration mollify Muslims by firing Lt. Gen. William Boykin, whose anti-Islamic remarks have created vast ill will, from his counterterrorism position? Why won't it give moderate Muslims a better argument against the radicals by opposing Ariel Sharon's settlement policy, when a majority of Israelis think that some settlements should be abandoned, and even Israeli military officers have become bitterly critical of Mr. Sharon?
The answer is that in these cases politics takes priority over the war on terror. Moderate Muslims would have more faith in America's good intentions if there were at least the appearance of a distinction between the U.S. and the Sharon government -- but the administration seeks votes from those who think that supporting Israel means supporting whatever Mr. Sharon does. It's sheer folly to keep General Boykin in his present position, but as Howard Fineman writes in a Newsweek Web-exclusive column, the administration doesn't want ''to make a martyr of a man who depicts himself as a Christian Soldier, marching off to war.''
Muslims are completely wrong to think that the U.S. is engaged in a war against Islam. But that misperception flourishes in part because the domestic political strategy of the Bush administration -- no longer able to claim the Iraq war was a triumph, and with little but red ink to show for its economic plans -- looks more and more like a crusade. ''Election Boils Down to a Culture War'' was the title of Mr. Fineman's column. But the analysis was all about abortion and euthanasia, and now we hear that opposition to gay marriage will be a major campaign theme. This isn't a culture war -- it's a religious war.
Which brings me back to my starting point: we'll lose the fight against terror if we don't make an effort to understand how others think. Yet because of a domestic political struggle that seems ever more centered on religion, such attempts at understanding are shouted down.

I first install Ubuntu 13.10 a few weeks ago and its been going great. I'm still pretty new to Linux, so I haven't been doing a whole lot. The past couple days I've tried installing LAMP, then uninstalled it because I would probably never do anything with it. I then installed SSH, then uninstalled it because I probably would never login to it remotely. Then I install samba so my wife could access the files on my computer from hers and use my PC as a backup.
All is fine and well... until I reboot. I am unable to login. I type my password into the password field, and hit enter and nothing happens. If I type the wrong password in, the little wheel spins for 1/2 second then says 'incorrect password'. With the incorrect password, no wheel shows up - the password field fades away and the screen just sits there. I've waited about 10-15 minutes for something to happen, but nothing does.
I've tried to Google around to solve the issue, but nothing I've seen seems to do the trick. I am able to login through the command line (ctrl-alt-f1) just fine, just am not able to login in through the GUI.
Ive looked at my auth.log and found this:
lightdm: pam_succeed_if (lightdm:auth): requirement "user ingroup nopasswdlogin" not met by user "andrew"
I remember seeing something about pam when I was installing/configuring ssh and/or configuring keys for it, but I don't remember specifically what. Plus, I removed ssh shortly after I installed it - so could it still be causing an issue?
I've tried the following:
sudo dpkg-reconfigure lightdm
which says nothing and returns me back to the command prompt
I have tried removing ~/.Xauthority - which didn't help.
My .dmrc file is about four lines. The first two are blank, then [Desktop], then something=Ubuntu
I have tried:
everything is checked, doesn't help
and I've tried:
ppa-purge ppa:gnome3-team/gnome3
which doesn't help either.
I've tried renaming my home directory and creating a new one. No luck.
I'm at a loss of what else I can do. Any ideas?

Rise. Don't write your epitaph until the body dies. Hate fuels the strength within you, therein your will resides to crush all the ones who've wronged you. Spit back in their face, fight for your God-given life. Lay to waste, destroy what conspires against you. Nobody knows, not one. The pain you have overcome. Don't lose your fight, too many good soldiers have died. Carry the Hessian blade of malice and hatred. We rise war from the Hessian blade. From ashes, the phoenix takes flight. No fear to breed in the eyes of brothers, dead sons make godless mothers. This war, we answer the call. Born to a brutal world, it's your convictions that define you, decides who separates the fools and cowards. Carry the Hessian blade This is who you are, no one can define you.

When you spend a lot of money on hair extensions you will have the expectation that the hair will last you a very long time. The worst thing that can happen is that your hair begins to tangle or sheds like crazy. At Micheall's Hair and Beauty we put our hair through the shed and tangle test. And what is that exactly?
We work closely with a factory in Brazil that sources the hair from many cities and villages in Brazil South America. 95% of our hair is virgin hair ( hair that has never been chemically treated or coloured or out through a refining process). Brazilian hair is one of the most expensive hair extensions in the world it is widely sort after even in Brazil. After the hair is shipped to us the sales team at Micheall's take all the hair and check each bundle, If a bundle has too many grey hairs or the texture is not upto our standard we put it in a pile to be sent back to our supplier.

Public Seminar Review Volume 1, Issue 2
Second Semester/Summer 2014
The second semester of the Public Seminar is over, and the papers are now in, presented in this our second issue. Here you find short and long essays, supplemented by visual presentations around five major themes: Capitalism and its Alternatives, Democracy and its Enemies, Identities, the Arts and Literature, and Media, Memory and Miscellaneous. Note, though, that the pieces in fact address each other between and among these categories, as they consider "fundamental problems of the human condition and pressing problems of the day, using the broad resources of social research," staying true to the mission statement of Public Seminar, and to the scholarly and public project of our academic home, The New School for Social Research. -Jeffrey Goldfarb

The Colorado Springs Independent has a feature story out today about Craig Brittain and his controversial site. If you haven't been following along, here's a synopsis of the IsAnybodyDown.com controversy.
The article is worth a read, both because it lays out some of the controversy and because it gives Craig Brittain ample room to shed light on his side of the story. Presented with this generous opportunity, Craig dissembles. Craig is already claiming to have been significantly misquoted.
Months after this controversy began, these are the two big questions Craig has failed or refused to directly answer, and some discrepancies raised by Craig:
1. Who the hell is "David Blade, III"?
IsAnybodyDown.com has two advertisers: One is Kataishin, a band fronted by Chance Trahan (who designed IsAnybodyDown). The other is the "Takedown Hammer," a "team" which offers to negotiate with Craig Brittain to remove photos from IsAnybodyDown for $250. Previously, the "Takedown Hammer" advertised as "Takedown Lawyer David Blade, III." That ended after First Amendment attorney Marc Randazza voiced skepticism that David Blade was really a lawyer. Within hours of being confronted, the "Takedown Lawyer" disappeared and the "Takedown Hammer" site was launched in its place — a site registered by Craig Brittain and hosted on his server.
In the last two months, Craig Brittain, Chance Trahan, and "David Blade" have failed to come up with a coherent explanation and have instead given contradictory answers as to who "David Blade" is:
- "David Blade" claimed to be a public defender practicing in New York, operating under a pseudonym due to death threats; Craig backed this up;
- Craig claimed David Blade is actually Eric Chanson, one of his site's competitors;
- Craig implied that David Blade never existed and that Randazza made it all up: "The 'David Blade' poltergeist is a complete fabrication assembled entirely by the Randazza lynch mob. There's no neutral record of such a thing ever having existed in the manner which the Randazza/White Cult describes it, which is why I won't answer questions about things that never happened to begin with."
- Chance claimed David Blade was a "parody" (of what is a mystery);
- Craig refused to confirm or deny Blade's existence to me, replying "My legal counsel has received this email" — he told the Independent that he has no lawyer.
- Craig apparently told the Independent that "David Blade" is a friend from college who went on to become a lawyer: "The service, [Craig] says, is being provided by a former college buddy who's now a lawyer."
- Craig told the Independent that a friend made up a fake lawyer: "It's one of my buddies. … They invented this lawyer, and they've since changed things. But I am not responsible for it. Regardless of what anybody tells you, I don't run it."
Craig now says the Independent just plum made that quote up:
For Takedown Hammer, I never said that anyone "invented a lawyer". That series of quotes is nonsense. What I said was that Takedown Hammer were, and are, ex-employees of DMCA.com and I have no idea whether or not they are actually lawyers or not, or what they do with their personal lives. They claimed that at least one of them is a lawyer – but they've changed the reference of such on their website because they have said they don't actually do any legal work.
So Craig has no idea whether David Blade is a lawyer or not. Barely knows nothin' about the guy. "David Blade" apparently quit the law business and dedicated a service almost exclusively to IsAnybodyDown (the "Takedown Lawyer" site warned it couldn't remove photos from pretty much every other involuntary porn site). But Craig doesn't know a thing about him.
An old college buddy, but Craig doesn't know whether he's a lawyer or not? Perhaps the ad on IsAnybodyDown (in which "David Blade" said: "I attended college with the administrator of this website. We are on a first name basis and regularly converse") was a gimmick and Craig ignored that false statement of fact because it was just an ad. I doubt it.
You might start to doubt it as well when you realize that Craig expressed concern for Blade's "multiple children" in emails to Ken White. But, no, Craig knows nothing about the personal life of "David Blade."
Or maybe your doubt will grow knowing that Craig and "David Blade" were sending emails from the same computer in Colorado Springs In those emails, they were using the same I-think-this-is-what-a-lawyer-would-say pig-legalese to defend David Blade.
Emails with similar language sent from the same computer about a service that only removes content from Craig's site, only advertises on Craig's site, and whose website is administered by Craig. But it's completely independent. Right.
Craig tells the Independent: "I've always been a big fan of transparency. […] The public wants the truth, even if the truth is not as pretty."
So, be transparent: who is David Blade?
2. How does IsAnybodyDown.com get its photos? Does Craig respond to Craigslist personals ads?
Craig asserts that half of the people on his site were posting their photos on Craigslist — part of his bizarre claim that people somehow consent to being pictured on his site. There is substantial evidence that Craig (or someone else) responds to Craigslist personals ads, then posts the pictures. If he does so, that's disturbingly dishonest, and spinning it as "consent" is an appalling step towards blaming the victim — a victim created by the site.
Craig's Miscellaneous Errata:
Craig, in his response to the Independent, gets almost every fact related to IsAnybodyDown.com wrong:
There is no 'horny sluts' category on my website.
False. The Independent was talking about how the site tags women. There is indeed such a tag.
Craig continues:
Randazza and his cult are still full of garbage, and themselves. I didn't say that a big porn mob hired them – I said someone is paying him. Corner him next time, media – ask him to reveal who is paying him. I don't believe it's some big shadowy conspiracy, but someone is putting down the bucks. He's getting paid. Ask him who's paying him.
While it's true that Craig may not have said this to the Independent, his "Trolldown" website is quite explicit in its grandiose conspiracy theories:
[Randazza is f]orming a mob with other lawyers (who are also paid under the table by Big Porn), such as Kenneth White and Big-Porn-lawyer-in-training Adam Steinbaugh (whose entire college scholarship was paid for by Big Porn). […]
[Randazza reneged on a deal with me after] Big Porn offered him more money to continue to attack IsAnybodyDown.com. In fact, a source close to the situation has revealed that Marco Randazza, Kenneth White and Adam Steinbaugh are each being paid over $350,000 to sabotage and defeat IsAnybodyDown.com.
Collectively, the sum is over one million dollars in Big Porn drug money. Mafia money. Blood money. He's effectively getting paid with the blood of the people who have died at the hands of the mafia.
Elsewhere on the site, Craig claimed an anti-Semitic conspiracy was afoot in his being targeted by Anonymous.
Finally, Craig sputters:
We don't attack anyone on our website.
The site as a whole is an attack on those pictured on it. Categorizing victims as having STDs or objectifying them as a "Beast of a Feast" if Craig thinks they're overweight — that's not an attack? Though Craig now justifies his behavior as promoting some new world in which nudity is destigmaized (but he won't post his own nude photos and join his revolution), he once tried to promote the site (and nudity in general) as a "weapon." But if that doesn't do it for you, here are the emails Craig posted — then deleted — in which he mocked and insulted his victims.
The remainder of Craig's vacuous dissembling doesn't even merit a response. Helping people by charging them money so they don't get harassed as a direct result of your site? Spare me.

- Pop into any local, corner restaurant with locals in it and order some ceviche and a pisco sour. The more hole-in-the-wall looking, the better.
- Lima is a big surfing destination, so take some classes and learn to surf the rough Pacific waters.
- Wander around the streets and coastline of Miraflores, taking in the sights and sounds of Lima.
- Instead of taking taxis, try your hand at figuring out the local bus system – it's challenging at first but once you get the hand of it, it's cheap and there will be nary a tourist joining you.
- Check out a futbol game at the National Stadium.
- If you like nightlife, head to Barranco for a great scene.
Why you should add Lima to your RTW travel list
- The capital of Peru
- Located on the central coast of Peru with the best access to the rest of the country
- The food and drink is extremely good and unique.
- Traveling in such a large, metropolitan city is normally not so cheap.
- Lima provides great access to the rest of Peru and South America.
- The nightlife is incredible if that's what you're into.
- There is also plenty of culture and museums if that's what you're into.
- Explore the huge Andes Mountains
Why you should not add Lima to your RTW travel list
- Lima is smoggy much of the year, with gray skies and lack of sunshine.
- While there are certainly many more dangerous locations, Lima can be bad if you don't watch your back.
- The city is rather spread out and public transport options are not the greatest.
