![]() "Our independence is very central to what we do and also a big reason why a lot of us work here." "People were surprised and saddened I would say," one Gawker Media staffer told CNNMoney. Staffers learned of the bankruptcy filing at an all-hands meeting around noon, shortly before the news went public. Still, the news brought a sense of shock inside Gawker's Manhattan headquarters on Friday. Gawker is still pushing ahead with its appeal of the judgment and has maintained confidence that it will ultimately be vindicated, but the company has been openly entertaining a sale. In March, a Florida jury awarded Hogan a staggering $140.1 million judgment in his invasion of privacy trial against the company over its 2012 publication of excerpts from his sex tape.ĭavid Houston, Hogan's longtime personal attorney, said in a statement that his client has "every intention" to pursue that judgment, "whether it be in the bankruptcy court or any other court." Under bankruptcy, people owed money generally receive only a fraction of what they were owed by the bankrupt company. But that doesn't mean he will be able to collect all the money the jury awarded him. Proceeds of the sale will go to pay off creditors, including Hogan. Ziff Davis will be what is known as a "stalking horse bidder," whose offer for the company can be topped by other bidders. The sale agreement to Ziff Davis will need to be approved by the bankruptcy court, which will conduct an auction to see if there is a higher offer available. Ziff Davis signaled that it is interested in Gawker Media titles like Jezebel and Gizmodo, but the company's statement noticeably lacked any mention of the flagship, where the offending Hogan story was published in 2012. Bidding is expected to continue next week.ĭenton said he was "encouraged" by the agreement with Ziff Davis, which he called "one of the most rigorously managed and profitable companies in digital media." The asset purchase agreement to Ziff Davis, the owner of PC Magazine, marks the start of the bankruptcy auction process. And #CNNBlackmail is the new #GamerGate.What a beautiful day,and the good doesn't prevent the better! In the present I AM always grateful,only good happens to me. As Mike Cernovich says, CNN is the new Gawker. #CNNBlackmail is already trending and the firing of the four members of the KFILE team has already been demanded. ![]() I somehow doubt the channers are simply going to take this sort of thing lying down. If I was a CNN employee with any big secret to protect, I'd consider resigning today. In addition, he said his statement could serve as an example to others not to do the same.ĬNN reserves the right to publish his identity should any of that change. In the interview, "HanA**holeSolo" sounded nervous about his identity being revealed and asked to not be named out of fear for his personal safety and for the public embarrassment it would bring to him and his family.ĬNN is not publishing "HanA**holeSolo's" name because he is a private citizen who has issued an extensive statement of apology, showed his remorse by saying he has taken down all his offending posts, and because he said he is not going to repeat this ugly behavior on social media again. The apology has since been taken down by the moderators of /The_Donald subreddit.Īfter posting his apology, "HanA**holeSolo" called CNN's KFile and confirmed his identity. I have the highest respect for the journalist community and they put their lives on the line every day with the jobs that they do in reporting the news." I thought it was the original post that was made and that is why I took credit for it. What the President's feed showed was not the original post that was posted here, but loaded up somewhere else and sound added to it then sent out on Twitter. "I had no idea anyone would take it and put sound to it and then have it put up on the President's Twitter feed. "The meme was created purely as satire, it was not meant to be a call to violence against CNN or any other news affiliation," he wrote. On Tuesday, "HanA**holeSolo" posted his apology on the subreddit /The_Donald and deleted all of his other posts. On Monday, KFile attempted to contact the man by email and phone but he did not respond. The apology came after CNN's KFile identified the man behind "HanA**holeSolo." Using identifying information that "HanA**holeSolo" posted on Reddit, KFile was able to determine key biographical details, to find the man's name using a Facebook search and ultimately corroborate details he had made available on Reddit. Since when is it the job of the news media to report, or not report, the news depending upon whether someone behaves how they want? This public threat issued by CNN to an anonymous meme maker marks an interesting development in so-called "professional journalism".

![]() Unfortunately, he puts this book into an odd shade of grey between scholarly publication and low brow educational non-fiction. Now for the content: The premise of this book is quite interesting the author is trying to examine the naval standoff between Germany and the Western powers through statistics to determine how effective the respective tactics actually were compared to what they were supposed to achieve. (And there might be copy right issues with the maps and charts included!) A scholarly book would advise its readers where the originals can be found. But the most serious charge is that the numerous charts and photographs included (in bad quality) have no sources listed. ) inflating the index and making it difficult to use the key terms for the index are poorly chosen and are mainly the names of polititians and generals. But still the shoddy editing gets worse: The index has been generated automatically, and instead of listing consecutive pages like this '100-110', they are listed individually (like this: 100 101 102 103 104 105. If the shortcomings in editing could be reduced to the selfdesigned cover, or the absolutely bad quality of the images inlcuded, or the use of quotation marks that are not part of the German character set, I would disregard them in my review, but they are, unfortunately, more pronounced: Upon opening the book, I immediately noticed that the whole book is set in hyphenless justification (which is a serious issue in German, because of the potentially long words) reading this book feels like driving down a poorly maintained road with broken dampers. I have to start my review with mentioning the abhorrend quality of the editing this book received. I am not versed well enough in the intricacies of naval warfare-strategies and politics to judge the validity of the content definitively, but this book is simply horrible to read, and here is why: This book reads like a very long college level history paper in German.

The big question is, why should I know my IP address? Especially if you have survived so far without knowing it. Thus, for example, a random IP would be 37.168.52.11. The value of each figure can vary from 0 to 255. When we write an address or URL, there is an IP address behind it, which is the real address.Īn IP address consists of four digits separated by a period. No one can browse or be online without one. IP addresses are everything on the internet. They are used by different devices to communicate on a Wi-Fi network inside a house. Private IPs are those used in closed networks. They can be fixed or (the most common) dynamic (this IP changes from time to time.) The first IPs are those assigned by the telecommunications company to surf the net. IP Address: What It Is And Why I Should Know It So let's see what an IP is, what we need to know, and how we can locate it. ![]() In the online world, it is more important than any of the above information.

And, I've never seen a perfect one yet.Īll of the B&C stocks that I have come with a full length bedding block. Like DF said earlier, high torque on an aluminum block will create a lot of stress if the bedding block is not perfect. I dont' tape a damn thing (like some do on the recoil lug) and on a rem 700 I would also glass bed the full length of the receiver, so it lays in the stock in a stress free manner. On a synthetic stock I like everything tight. You can actually turn the rifle upside down, while holding just the stock and the barreled action will stay in there without the action screws holding it. It's put the action in the stock slightly rap the bottom of the stock with the palm of your hand and it's in nice and snug. There's no "pulling" the action into the stock with the screws. That's the best way to get consistently good accuracy. I have to comment on armendandfree's post about how he snugs up his action though. I will say that some of us do this bedding thing slightly different here. These would include Devcon 10110 and Brownells steel bed (as armedandfree suggested) is also very robust. The use of a good bedding compound goes without saying. 35-40 is plenty in a properly bedded rifle. I also agree with DF in his explanation of action screw torque. Your groups should NOT shift, no matter how many times you remove it from the stock: Proper bedding is key to this though. ![]() It does help, if you like consistent reliable accuracy with no POI shift after R&R of stock. I've had to do a couple factory winchester model 70 extreme weathers that were not up to snuff and also a FN PBR that had an aluminum bedding block. On the ones I've done, it makes a considerable difference in accuracy. Rough up and slightly remove material, just as you would any stock and skim bed it. ![]() But with the mention of the bedding block, I would say the rifle doesn't need pillars (as you said), but just a skim coat. Generally he glass beds his rifles in the same manner I do (based on his posts I've read). When I first read this thread (last night), dirtfarmer answered the question very well, but in the back of my mind I was wondering if it had the aluminum bedding block like many do these days. I would pillar bed those but the bedding block models only need a skim coat. ![]() Some had no bedding block, I believe the early TI's were like that. ![]() This means that your car will be susceptible to major issues. It loses its lubrication, and decreases heat absorption. When this happens, your engine must work harder to fight through the buildup of muck. In fact, if you wait too long for an oil change, your smooth and clean oil will turn into dirty sludge. If your oil continues to run through your engine unchanged, you’ll begin to face a laundry list of problems. This causes the oil to become increasingly less effective at lubricating and absorbing heat. What Happens if I Wait Too Long for an Oil Change?Īs mentioned before, over time, your engine oil begins to break down and wear out. If you have any questions about what oil service plan is best for you and your vehicle, please contact a CBA auto expert – find your closest store here. If the oil is murky or milky, service is needed as soon as possible. Although oil color is not the only indicator of oil life, good oil should be a clear, brown-black color. When checking your oil, it is also a good habit to notice the color. Many engines use way less than a quart between changes, but some engines can use up to a quart for every 600 miles or so. When fewer oil changes occur, it is imperative that you check your oil level via the engine’s dipstick every month and top it off as needed. This ensures that you can keep your proper maintenance schedule. When an oil change is completed, you should always ensure that you or your service expert reset your vehicle’s oil-monitoring system. Simple systems will let you know when it’s time to change your oil based on time and mileage, but more advanced systems analyze your driving conditions to let you know when your oil begins to degrade. When it comes to newer cars, more often than not they are equipped with oil-life monitoring systems that automatically let you know when an oil change is needed. If your car needs more severe service, as outlined in your owner’s manual, make sure to maintain a rigorous schedule. Primarily short trips (usually 5 miles or less).Severe service is recommended if you are operating your car under any of these conditions: These are defined as “normal” and “severe service” plans. Typically, older cars’ oil change schedules are based on mileage and have maintenance schedules based on the number of miles driven per year. Ultimately, how often you should get your oil changed is based on your vehicle’s year, make, model, and other specifics. If you use special synthetic oil, and some manufacturers may even recommend 10,000 miles between oil changes. Automobile manufacturers might suggest a longer interval, such as 5,000 miles. ![]() How Often Should I Get My Oil Changed?Īs a general rule of thumb, many mechanics will recommend that you change your oil every 3,000 miles. ![]() This causes the oil to become increasingly less effective at lubricating your engine’s parts and absorbing heat. Over time, your engine oil begins to break down and wear out. This allows the internal components of the engine to work together seamlessly without overheating. Luckily, your vehicle’s oil lubricates the engine while absorbing the heat emitted. When the piston assembly and the connecting rods move against each other, friction creates heat. Your automobile engine has many moving parts. They can be conventional, synthetic, a blend or high-mileage. To put it simply, base oils are the backbone of the finished lubricant that ends up in your engine. As a matter of fact, every vehicle has its own requirements when it comes to the type of oil you should be using. Every engine needs oil, but not just any oil. To understand why we need to change our oil, it’s important to understand exactly what your engine oil does. Your oil filter should also be changed at this time. During an oil change, the old and dirty oil is taken from a vehicle’s engine and replaced with new, fresh oil. Of course, various components of your vehicle may need to be checked and fixed from time to time, but nothing compares to how important routine oil change service is to the overall maintenance of your vehicle. Delaying or ignoring your next oil change can lead to disastrous results. You think to yourself “I could go another couple hundred miles without an oil change, right? What could go wrong?” You may even feel like you don’t have enough time in the week to fit in an oil change. Oops.īut bringing your car into the shop is the last thing you want to do. ![]() You notice something: You completely forgot the oil change you needed 500 miles ago. You read the number then scan your odometer. Driving along, minding our own business when you notice the tiny sticker in the corner of your car’s windshield that reminds you when you need to get your next oil change.
