"Fixing the system is bigger than fixing the law — it's also fixing the culture. And fixing the culture requires calling out misconduct when it happens. And there is substantial evidence that misconduct happened here. As criminal defense lawyer and legal blogger Scott Greenfield wrote in a post called 'The Ferguson Lie," "we were played."" - Eric - Final Countdown

"You’re paying for a lot of this record out of pocket, right? Studio time, musicians, everything? Everything. And I won’t recoup. I’m already overbudget. Maybe I’ll net out a half-million-dollar loss. Some people with half a million dollars, they buy themselves two fancy cars, or maybe a house. What did you buy yourself for half a million dollars? I invested in the album. Look, if I never did anything again in music, it wouldn’t affect my life materially. I live a very satisfying life. Not because I’ve made a few dollars, but because I have a wife who loves me and children who wait for me to come home. And that is beautiful. I think that’s the American dream: to be at peace at home." - Eric @ CS Techcast

"It would be tempting to turn on the news and say Public Enemy’s work is becoming relevant again. But the truth is that Chuck, Griff, Flava, and the gang live on in an infinite loop. The urgency, the indignation, the humanity—those things never really leave. Time is a flat circle. So as part of their 30th anniversary celebration, Def Jam is reissuing Public Enemy’s twin classics, It Takes A Nation Of Millions To Hold Us Back and Fear Of A Black Planet. The former, originally released in 1988, cemented the group as a critical and cultural force; the latter is enshrined in the Library of Congress." - Eric @ CS Techcast

News junkie mode has set in. - Eric - Final Countdown

Time for bed. This is just so sad. - Eric - Final Countdown

Seems legit. >_> - AHnix (Anna Haro)

Police initially stated Brown had been shot by Wilson following a "physical confrontation," and some rumors stated Wilson had sustained a broken facial bone during the incident. While the officer was transported to a local hospital following the shooting, no specific injuries have been confirmed by Ferguson police, and video taken at the Ferguson police department just hours after Wilson shot Brown show no apparent injury to Wilson's eye.

"Former Philadelphia rapper Cool C, who has been in prison for the last 18 years following a 1996 murder, robbery conviction, will be executed on Jan. 8, reports AllHipHop. C, born, Christopher Roney made a name for himself in the rap game during the late ’80s as a solo artist, most notably for his track “The Glamorous Life” and his Juice Crew diss. He later joined the hardcore rap outfit C.E.B. In 1996, the now 44-year-old rapper was involved in a bank robbery along with fellow group member Steady B. The botched heist led to the death of guard Lauretha Vaird. Both men were arrested for the crime. Roney was originally sentenced to die by lethal injection March 9, 2006 but was granted a stay by the governor of Pennsylvania. Steady B continues to serve a life sentence for his role in the crime." - Eric @ CS Techcast

"The passive-aggressive rich white lady food feud continues! Back in October, life inspiration and OG Martha Stewart came for snobby cup of cultured almond milk Gwyneth Paltrow by publishing a feature on Thanksgiving pie recipes in the November issue of Martha Stewart Living titled “Concious Coupling“. And yesterday, Gwyneth took out her earrings (“Here Tracy, hold my $12,050 Harry Winston pink diamond studs“) and took a swipe at Martha by posting a recipe for “Jailbird Cake” to GOOP.com. First pies, now cakes? Damn, these bitches fight dirty!" - Eric - Final Countdown

"Netflix, the world's leading Internet TV network, has picked up two seasons and will be the exclusive home to Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, the new comedy series from Universal Television from co-creators Tina Fey and Robert Carlock." - Eric - Final Countdown

Anyone ever have to take apart a flash? My lock on my flash is broken, just spins and holds in the lock position on the camera shoe. Getting it off took some doing. Do you think it's easily fixable? - Eric - Final Countdown

The SB600s are doable but take time and planning. - Johnny

I've disassembled mine before (although not for the lock). Seems doable. - Stephan Planken

I'm scared - Eric - Final Countdown

"Fort Carson welcomed home more than 100 soldiers at a 9 a.m. Friday morning ceremony. The 4th Infantry Brigade Combat Team, 4th Infantry Division, held a homecoming ceremony for 135 of its soldiers who were deployed to Afghanistan for nine months in March." - Eric - Final Countdown

Is it wrong that I want to plop down 80 big ones for this? - Eric - Final Countdown

One of my best friends was also a teenage army brat in Germany in the 80s. She said the wall was a visible reminder of why the army was in Germany, but as a teen she mostly just thought it was cool that she was allowed to pass through with an armed escort. - Starmama

Since my Otterbox broke I've been carrying the phone in my pocket. Im afraid it is a matter of time before it slips out of my hands. - Stephan Planken

The latest incident. She came out of her room, iPad and iPhone, then the phone slipped off the iPad and bounced down the stairs boom boom boom like four or five times. Oh my God. - Eric - Final Countdown

Stephan - have you contacted Otterbox about your case? They're usually really good about replacing them. - COMPLICATED MR. NOODLE

"“Wetten Dass..?” was “the craziest TV show” he had ever seen. “They brought out 50 dogs,” he explained, “and I would motion to one of the dogs, they would throw a Frisbee, and the dog would catch it and bite it, and the people would have to guess which dog it was.” When Kimmel asked him what the show’s name meant, Arnett said “I think it means: What the fuck is happening?” Arnett hit a nerve back in Germany, where the mediocrity of its TV—and “Wetten Dass..?” in particular—is currently a particular source of national insecurity" - Eric - Final Countdown
