Waco, Twenty Years LaterWhat Statism Is All About
Recorded: Wednesday, April 17, 2013
Twenty years ago, Americans witnessed the greatest law enforcement atrocity in modern U.S history. On February 28th, 1993, the ATF raided the Branch Davidian home in Waco, Texas. The stand-off finally ended 51 days later, on April 19th, after the building went up in flames, killing 70 civilians including more than 20 children.

Potage's Cauldron Shop was the first shop one encountered when entering North Side, Diagon Alley from the Leaky Cauldron. It sold all types of cauldrons, displaying them in a stack outside the shop, under a sign which read: "Cauldrons - All Sizes - Copper, Brass, Pewter, Silver - Self-Stirring - Collapsible."[1] It is owned by Madam Potage.
A branch of the shop is also located in Hogsmeade, and one is located in Knockturn Alley.
In 1991 Harry Potter and Rubeus Hagrid came to Potage's to buy a Pewter Cauldron for Harry, since every first year student had to be equipped with one.[1]
During the Christmas holidays, Potage's was temporarily closed, due "to some faulty cauldrons causing a stir". [2]
Behind the scenes
- This was the first wizarding location, aside from the Leaky Cauldron, to be introduced in the series. The shop's name is not revealed in the books. It is only given in a tour of Diagon Alley included on the DVD of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, and in the Game Boy Color version of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone.
Potage pronounced (pot-AZH), from the Latin-French root pot meaning drink, is a "soup", particularly a rich and creamy one. It has a more English cognate pottage (POT-idge), which usually refers to a vegetable soup, with or without meat.

STMicroelectronics and Museum of Contemporary Art in Taipei Use Indoor Navigation on Mobile Devices to Guide Visitors
The future of indoor navigation is available today in your mobile phone or tablet
Many people have experienced getting lost at shopping malls, stores, airports, parking lots - or when wandering through museum exhibitions. STMicroelectronics (NYSE: STM), a global semiconductor leader serving customers across the spectrum of electronics applications and the leading supplier of MEMS (Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems) for consumer and portable applications 1 , has worked with the Museum of Contemporary Art in Taipei to enrich the experience of visitors to Taiwan-based Chinese film-director King Hu's works exhibition through the use of indoor navigation. This technology transforms mobile phones and other smart consumer devices into the most convenient source of real-time information about the exhibition, overcoming the limitation of satellite navigation in indoor spaces.
Accurate indoor positioning is the key enabler for Location-Based Services, widely considered the next "killer application" in the mobile world. ST and CSR have integrated ST's optimized MEMS devices with CSR's latest positioning technology to produce a highly accurate and reliable indoor-positioning system that overcomes the challenge of poor GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite Systems) visibility in urban canyons and indoor environments. The cross-industry cooperation between ST and the Museum of Contemporary Art in Taipei puts an exhibition guide on the visitors' smart phone, letting them better experience the art of director King Hu's movies. The system navigates visitors through the collection and automatically plays audio information as the user approaches each exhibit.
"Indoor navigation will make the interaction between people and their mobile devices simpler and more direct, opening a new era of smart consumer life-style. The combination of our accurate indoor-navigation technology with the latest exhibition of Museum of Contemporary Art in Taipei showcases the power of this innovation," said Patrick Boulaud, STMicroelectronics Regional Vice President, Analog, MEMS and Sensors, Greater China and South Asia Region.
"The joint project with ST on indoor positioning and navigation integrates art with technology in a truly innovative manner," said Jui-Jen Shi, Director of the Museum of Contemporary Art in Taipei. "The museum is dedicated to exploring new possibilities and establishing new values for contemporary art through closer cross-industry cooperation that encourages greater creative development in both domains."
Demonstrated as the world's most accurate indoor-positioning system at Mobile World Congress 2012, the ST/CSR technology can reliably determine the location of a mobile device to within a few meters in the absence of GNSS satellite signals. In complicated indoor environments such as airport terminals, exhibition halls, warehouses, supermarkets, libraries and underground parking lots, the technology meets the accuracy needs for many of the emerging Location-Based Services.
The King Hu: the Renaissance Man exhibition is on at Museum of Contemporary Art in Taipei from July 3 to August 26, 2012. For more information, please visit www.mocataipei.org.tw/blog/post/28117165

in September, Townsend said.Related: Petraeus stand-in has been through this before
Broadwell's clearance and rights to view documents could put her in legal jeopardy if she did not follow the procedures.
Under federal law, if Broadwell has classified material in her home she must show she has authority to have it, that it relates to her work in military intelligence and that she is following all security and safety measures to safeguard the material, military officials told CNN.
Broadwell has said that she was working on a second book about Petraeus. Her LinkedIn profile lists her as "Archivist/Biographer for General (Retired) David Petreaus." Her first book, 'All In,' was a look at Petraeus' leadership.
Broadwell has spoken about how she had to deal with sensitive information in the course of researching her first book.
"I had to follow very clear lines of non-disclosure and sign non-disclosure agreements, like my colleagues. I felt like I was almost held to a higher level of accountability because I could lose my clearance," Broadwell said in a speech last year. "I think it was important to inform my writing, but I knew there was a clear line that I couldn't cross when I was writing it out."
Petraeus insists he never shared classified information with Broadwell, said retired military officer John Nagl who has spoken with Petraeus in recent days.
The intertwining of Broadwell's military role and her close access to Petraeus, makes the investigation complicated, said Townsend.
"As a reservist, she had, we're told, top-secret compartmented information clearance. But that clearance is only in place, if you will, active when she's on reserve duty. Clearly when she was embedded with Petraeus, getting ready as his biographer to write a book, that clearance didn't apply," said Townsend.
Townsend said where it gets really complicated is if Broadwell was privvy to information gleaned while being given access while writing the book.
"So she really should not have been given access. And she wouldn't have unless David Petraeus walked her into the room and invited her into these classified briefings," Townsend said. "You know, if the general brings her into a room where there's a classified conversation, you really put the onus then on his subordinates to raise the question of whether or not they can talk in front of her.
"And, of course, they're taking their signal from the general. If he's bringing her in, it's implicit that they're able to speak in front of her. And so I think this is a pretty complicated investigation, both for the FBI and for the Justice Department," Townsend said.
Senior federal law enforcement officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity, told CNN that there is no indication Petraeus disclosed classified material to Broadwell.
The Army refused to publicly confirm the suspension of Broadwell's security clearance, first reported on CNN, but issued a statement:
"The Army has been cooperating with federal law enforcement authorities in this matter, and those actions are ongoing. Appropriate actions with regard to this officer's clearance and access have been taken," said George Wright, deputy director of Army media relations.

A special thank you to Debbie in customer service for her help in getting the coat for my husband to us. His old coat wasn't doing very well against the bitter cold we've been having up north here this winter. The new coat is so much better. He even stood out in the wind to test it and no cold wind got through to him. He loves it! It makes me feel better to know that when he heads out to work, he has on better protection. We appreciate all your help so very much. Good service is hard to find these days, so it means even more when we come across excellence in customer service. We just had to thank you!"

Tuesday November 6, 2012
NEW YORK (AP) -- A person familiar with the decision says New Orleans will be the site of the new marquee bowl game between the Southeastern Conference and Big 12.
The game will still be called the Sugar Bowl and will be played in the Superdome, the person said, speaking on condition of anonymity because it had not been formally announced.
The story was first reported by ESPN.com.
Several sites were vying to host the game, including Dallas Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas.
The game will start in 2014, when the new four-team playoff postseason begins. It will match the champions from the SEC and Big 12, unless those teams are selected to the national semifinals.
In that case, two other highly rated teams from those conferences will be paired up.

Trouble on campus/
According to the minister of education, if you knew what is going on in Egyptian universities, you would faint. As a frequent university goer, I can assure you that you wouldn't. In all likelihood, you would just lose body moisture and tolerance of others.
His remark was addressed to the "trembling hand" that is the government that is Prime Minister Hazem el-Beblawi, whom talk shows have been taking aim at for not trying hard enough to stop everything from getting worse. (Presumably they are doing this to salvage some pretense of objectivity and because it is probably fun to heroically yell at "them," the unnamed people who really are in charge, for not removing the people you disapprove of from their posts.)
One of el-Beblawi's greatest weakness, many think, is his inability to get universities under control. Since most of the Muslim Brothers lucky enough not to be in prison are in universities, so are most of their protests. (The rest materialize in villages and poor neighborhoods that are easier to ignore and tend to disperse as quickly as they have gathered.) Cairo University Brothers, for instance, protest on Sundays, Tuesdays and Thursdays, according to MB youth leader Ahmed Badawi (who recently joined his superiors in prison).
The MB protests usually lead to small counter-protests by smirking pro-Sisi students, which culminates in the protrusion of veins, the stretching of many collars, and occasional injuries sustained while scores of unfazed students shuffle by, hugging books or filming videos that manage to show nothing and explain less.
If one were to graph the number of students protests against apathy towards them, one would have a straight line shooting up to the corner of the page and beyond. And it is more or less the same story everywhere. Some angry students protest. Others disagree. Violence erupts. Security doesn't intervene due to a committed policy of non-participation in real or potential danger. Flushed, a dean strides in somewhere followed by glaring subordinates. He orders an investigation (a synonym for suspending students, a decision that may or may not be renewed at will, and withdrawing their IDs, denying them entry to campus). Some time later comes an announcement of cameras being installed to record spreaders of chaos in the act.

Harry Potter for Kinect is a video game, developed by Eurocom and published by Warner Bros. Interactive.[1] It was released on 9 October, 2012[2]. It is for the Xbox 360 system, requiring the use of the Kinect accessory.[3]
Harry Potter for Kinect includes content based on all eight titles in the Harry Potter film series. The game includes multiplayer features. The use of the Kinect accessory allows players to use spells via physical gestures and call out spell names out loud. There is also an option for players to scan their faces, allowing them to create their own unique wizard or witch to navigate through the game.[3]
- For the first time, create a witch or wizard character in your likeness that will become part of the gameplay through Kinect's scanning technology.
- Experience unforgettable moments from all eight films - from having your wand choose you at Ollivanders and being Sorted as a first-year student at Hogwarts, to battling You-Know-Who in a climactic wizard battle.
- Cast spells at your opponents by performing the proper casting maneuvers and calling out spell names utilizing Kinect's controller-free and voice recognition capabilities.
- Hone your casting, brewing and duelling skills (among others) in class to unlock even more lessons and challenges.
- Challenge a friend in competitive mini-games, or join forces against a mutual opponent in co-op games.
Harry Potter for Kinect received mixed reviews, being essentially a collection of mini-games based on clips from the Harry Potter films. As of 23 November, 2012, the title had an overall 2.6/5 from user reviews on Amazon.com, with one reviewer calling the game "no fun" and another describing it as "very frustrating so far."[4] The title had a 56/100 at Metacritic, with five reviewers giving a negative rating, three positive and three mixed, with one of the mixed reviews stating that "The quickly changing gameplay, short length, and active tiring controls seem to be built for someone with a lot of energy and a short attention span." Only one user had given the game a review, a positive one, but the game had a positive score of 7.7/10 with six user ratings.[5]

Planning to Be an Organ Donor
Topic Overview
Donating one or more of your organs after your death can help save another person's life. Over 100,000 people in the United States are now waiting for the gift of an organ to become available for an organ transplant.
Most people can be organ donors. If you are interested in donating organs or tissues, contact the United Network for Organ Sharing (UNOS) at 1-888-894-6361 or go online at www.unos.org to get more information.
How can you be an organ donor?
Plan ahead. To become an organ donor, put your name on your state's donor registry. Many states give you the option to become a donor when you apply for a driver's license or when you renew your license. Other states have a form you can fill out in person or online and file with a state organ donor registry. You can find your state registry by going to www.organdonor.gov/stateMap.asp. Either way, your name goes on a list of possible donors, and your status is noted on your driver's license. To find out what's required in your state, check with your doctor or call your local Department of Motor Vehicles office.
People of any age can register to be organ donors. In many states there's no minimum age, though an adult might have to sign for someone under age 18.
If you've decided to become a donor, be sure to let your family, friends, and doctor know. And include your wish to be an organ donor when you prepare a living will or advance directive.
What organs can you donate?
You can donate organs or tissues.
Organs to donate include:
Tissues to donate include:
- Corneas .
- Skin .
- Heart valves .
- Bone .
- Blood vessels.
- Connective tissues, such as tendons.
Can you choose what to donate?
Yes, you can choose what organs and tissues you would like to offer for donation. Or you can choose to donate any organs that are needed. You can also choose to donate for transplant, for research, or for educational purposes.
What are the facts about organ donation?
You don't have to be young and in perfect health to be a donor. There are no age limits to putting your name on the donor registry. And you don't have to be perfectly healthy to donate an organ. It's the health of a certain organ that matters. Talk with your doctor or local organ procurement organization (OPO) if you have questions.
If you're on the donor registry, you will get the life-saving care you need when you need it. You won't be denied care in order to obtain your organs. State laws and emergency medical practices ensure that your life comes first. The medical staff who take care of you are completely separate from the organ donation system. Only when a donor has died does a medical team contact the organ donation network to arrange a donation.
Donating an organ costs you nothing. It doesn't cost the receiving patient's family, either. The cost of removing the organs and transporting them is paid by the organ procurement organization.
Priority for transplants is by greatest chance of transplant success. This means that the organ will go to the patient for whom the transplant will most likely be successful. Things affecting who gets an organ may include tissue and blood type, the length of time the recipient has spent on the waiting list, or the distance between the donor and recipient. The financial status or celebrity of the recipient is not considered.
Having an open-casket funeral is possible for organ donors. The surgery to remove the organs is easy to cover up with clothing or prosthetics.
All major religions allow organ donation. The Christian, Jewish, Muslim, Buddhist, and Hindu faiths encourage organ donation or leave it up to individual choice. Ask your spiritual advisor if you have questions about your religion's views on organ donation.

|Fun / quick climb
Date Climbed: Sep 27, 2015
|Got to the lookout in about 30mins, had climbed 5 of the 7 or 8 spires in about an hour+. Shared the top of the main peak with several others - beautiful views
|Posted Sep 27, 2015 10:20 pm
|Quick summit
Date Climbed: Jun 6, 2015
|on our way to NCNP for the weekend. Maddie and I hit the trail around 4:30 pm, and got to the summit and back quickly. Long summer days made for a nice late hike/camp setup in Newhalem.
|Posted Jun 8, 2015 2:15 am
|Spring Fling
Date Climbed: May 2, 2015
|Yes it's short, but once we were up on the east side, we got some pretty solid alpine action with steep snow and an intriguing scramble along the ridge.
I attempted this one a few years back as a fall snowshoe from way low on the approach road. That didn't work out so well.
|Posted May 3, 2015 1:24 am
|Short & Sweet
|Sauk - wonderful hike with views beginning at parking lot. Switchbacks along the open face of the mountain the entire way. Wildflowers abound. :) Have hiked many times, usually take first timers here.
|Posted May 2, 2014 3:58 pm
|Bang for your buck
Date Climbed: Aug 11, 2012
|I took my little kids up there, and they will always remember it. The views are amazing from the trail head, but they get better from the top. Love this hike.

|Feels even shorter the second time around
Date Climbed: Jul 27, 2013
|Went up with a photographer friend who wanted some shots of Baker. The trip up felt even shorter the second time; I don't know how much shorter it can actually feel, as it goes by super quick. Once again, bagged the true summit. Took a video of me jogging back from the true summit to the false summit; it's pretty awesome. Saw lots of Marmots.

|Great summit for those days you feel a little lazy.
|Posted Sep 26, 2012 2:14 pm
Date Climbed: Sep 20, 2012
|Lots of smoke from the fires in central Washington, but lovely views anyway. Lunch on top at the former lookout.

|Sauk hop
|Took my son up. Good times.
|Posted Sep 18, 2012 12:02 am
|First Dock, And Then Sauk
Date Climbed: Sep 4, 2012
|After an early morning trip to Dock Butte, my daughter and I went to Sauk Mountain. I wore her toddler backpack the entire way to the summit ridge, before I did the final scramble to the true summit. I quickly returned back to the main trail, and then my daughter and I had a great lunch together in a small depression next to some snowbanks. Several marmots were running around and shrieking. Great weather, great route, great views... but bad blisters (due to worn-out socks).
|Posted Sep 4, 2012 9:43 pm
|Cascade Scrambler
|Don't believe the hype
Date Climbed: Aug 18, 2012
|From the false summit, just stay on top of the ridge the entire way. There's one slightly airy move that feels worse going over to the true summit than coming back. There's no need to drop down off the ridge crest, it's more work than necessary. Nice views, fun short scramble. Bagged Dock Butte afterwards.

Date Climbed: Nov 12, 2011
|Skied in from MP 4
|Posted Nov 13, 2011 4:58 pm
|A great trip
|Have climbed multiple times, both in winter and spring. This was one of Dallas Kloke's favorite winter climbs; easy access and as challenging as you want.
|Posted Oct 21, 2011 12:37 am
Date Climbed: Jul 3, 2005
|Fun to traverse the false summits. Don't kick rocks on your car from the top!
|Posted Oct 7, 2011 2:17 am
|Sauk, beautiful wildflowers - if you go for that sort of thing. Ah, to be back in the Cascades.
|Posted Jul 4, 2011 10:00 am
|Old Faithful
Date Climbed: Sep 20, 2004
|Always a great hike for the family, or by yourself!
|Posted Apr 5, 2011 12:40 am
Date Climbed: Sep 20, 2004
|Always a great summer season starter
|Posted Mar 31, 2011 5:39 pm
Date Climbed: Aug 11, 2010
|I really enjoyed this one for its easy effort, short scramble at the end vs. big open, alpine views.
Its a beautiful area and if someone had some extra time on their hand it looked like it would be interesting to explore Sauk Lake and Bald Mountain.
|Posted Mar 21, 2011 1:31 pm
Date Climbed: Nov 15, 2008
|This is a great quick hike. I was able to tuck this in even in mid-November with just a dusting of snow on a clear and cool autumn day. It is harder to find a higher views to effort ratio in the Cascades than what this one offers.

State officials have issued a health advisory for portions of eastern La Plata County because of smoke being generated by the Vallecito Fire burning in the San Juan National Forest.
The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment says the advisory applies to the towns of Durango, Vallecito and Bayfield and is expected to be in effect until at least 4 p.m. Sunday. The young, elderly and people with heart disease or respiratory illness are being asked to stay indoors if the smoke becomes too thick.
The fire was reported Oct. 16 and has burned about 800 acres west of the Vallecito Reservoir. Fire managers are still trying to determine the cause of the blaze, which is 25 percent contained.

I see 89 new posts. Out of 89 new posts there is but one actual worthwhile post containing some sort of information (thank you Q for the video).
The rest is dribble. Seriously, wasting my time on 88 other useless non informative posts.
Y'all can bash Gayle as much as you want, but at least she tries and attempts to put something useful in her posts... granted it is oft repeated in several threads... but at least there is content there. Whether we may agree or not, it's more than to two letter abbreviation minus the one letter... or more than the typical one liner.
And then we have Wolfie, who chimes in from time to time but at the very least he throws in some nice humor and originality in his posts.
Hondo... well Lord love him but he's just too busy trying to defend himself, so I can't fault him there.
Sofla is a breath of fresh air from the left, who obviously goes through great effort to not only post topics but also reply to every single little thing that gets responded to him as well. I've grown to respect his intellect as well as be baffled at his patience.
Otherwise... wow... I gotta say this site has become a waste of time. To be brutally honest, I think out leftist brethren as a whole has done the most to post useful information. Steve does OK when he's not following Gayle. Same for Ed who is around few and far between these days. I won't leave myself out, as I'm not on here often... but in my few appearances it has been chatting with Gayle (generally in useful debate at least).
Otherwise, Dub your climb to the top of the posting list may be admirable... but you know you did it cheaply. You CAN post some great info and when you apply yourself you go toe to toe in some good debates.... but replying to yourself repeatedly to get there was beneath you. Sorry, but I watched it... you woulda got there in a few months time anyway just doing what you were doing.
I forget which one of "us" keeps saying "PO..." but really? Is that doing anyone any good?
Anyway, I'm just venting. But I miss the days when CC (RIP) and 9BG and everyone else was on here. Only a few of us around now were here to remember those good ol' days. But yes, there was a time when I'd log on and see 89 new posts, and damn near all 89 were worth reading.
Unfortunately that is not our board any longer. So props to Gayle, Q, Sofla, and sometimes LWW (when he posts a good topic). I know I could do more myself... but in all honesty our left-leaning people have been the most informative and useful posters on this board anymore. Even when I disagree with them, at least there is something there to disagree with. Which is (by and large) more than I can say for us righties.
rant over
Sack

The point in posting PO........? (that would be POS is case you missed it) is to maintain visibility of the type of person she really is using her own kind of language. Or how about this, maybe a better reminder would be STFU?
She's not fooling anybody and 99% of the time she is not worth a single actual thought in reply. Frankly, she's pathetic and has my pity.....a small fish in a small pond upset that others have the audacity to actually post things that upset her extremely biased worldview. Why, the nerve, so TOTAL IGNORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Kudos!! Sack, for trying to "make the peace".
Not pointing any fingers???.....but this was once a discussion board, with many active posters, and Gayle, Hondo, and myself were
members here at that time.
So....logically something in the equation has changed.
Lately, there are no more then 3 or 4 online, and just a handful of posters account for 80-90% of the posts.
p.s. ......I doubt that closing each post with po* helps to resolve the problem....but it does say a great deal about the author, and his intentions.
The sad thing I've gathered out of the way things have gone on here and elsewhere in this country, is that there becomes a group, sort of a clan, hateful way of presenting oneself. It may be the internet, but that's no excuse to be so hateful acting. Satan must smile every time he sees his seeds come to fruition.
I'm proud of you Sack. I have to admit that I have almost entirely slid past your posts since it felt to me that you were way more on the nonsense side here. Kudos for showing your pure human side.
The moderator is the basic problem here though. SID

That being said, I will confess that my posts have dropped of in quality because even a thread about baseball or photography of astronomy or shooting sports or many other benign issues becomes trolled by the cabal.
I have said since I came here that there will be peace when they want peace. They have no desire for peace and I have no desire to bow my head to thugs who hide behind the anonymity of the keyboard threatening others with violence, lawsuits, false law enforcement reports, theft of intellectual property and cyber attacks.
If you honestly can't understand that, then I have lost a tremendous amount of respect for you.

what I don't get is why continue the trend? I've told Hondo before to not sink to a certain level. Would be hypocritical for me to not tell you the same just because we're both righties and love baseball. If that's how you see it, be the peace bringer rather than waiting to accept the olive branch. I know at times you have tried, but really dude you are far too intelligent for some of the stuff you wind up posting. Seems a waste of your time and talents on many things. Again, you do post some good threads too... I'm not at all saying every bit is dreck, but some of it is.
Sack

When they threatened violence against my wife, when they hacked my personal business account, when they threatened me with legal action, when they threatened to turn me in to HSA ... they crossed the Rubicon.
I would love to have this be a peaceful forum, but I will not suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous injustice in silence.
The cabal here are IMHO not normal people, they are trolls who get a sick pleasure from attempting to destroy people's reputations and silencing all POV's that aren't moonbat crazy POV's.
The funny thing in all this is that I am very much a social liberal and on political tests consistently score out left of center.
The cabal consistently attempts to portray me as a rabid conservative only because they so far out in the left field parking lot.
"Hacked your personal business account" ?????????
You mean the then public account, not password protected, on Photo bucket?
That was your "personal business account"? You were going to sell Gif's that others had made, and that you had personalized by attaching Gayle's name to them? I can't see much of a market for that, and you might have even broken copyright laws?

Sack

No prob Sack.
And thanks.
I believe if you ever check into NPR on AZ you would notice my posting style is vastly different there.
There is a lot of personal amusement that go into some of my efforts here. [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/grin.gif[/img]
There isn't anything wrong with America that liberal ideology, properly applied by government experts, can't make worse.

Listen you over stuffed sausage I was minding my own business when I see our local once upon a time school pump making disparaging remarks about me.
The hateful old wench should try got get laid once and a while to release some of that pent up tension. But then who would want to? Its probably like tossing a hot dog down a hallway.
As for slithering and venom there are several reptiles around here and it isnt me.
If you want to run your jib thats fine. However it would be nice if you would stop being Gayles personal colonoscope. No matter how much she enjoys having you jammed up there you should show a little personal dignity and stay on the sidelines and let the little misanthrope speak for herself. Not that we would read anything but Bush Bush Bush. Which between you and me seems to indicate that she has an overly overt affection either for herself or other woman. Not that is a bad thing. However if thats the case she should dump her old man and start clam digging.
The aged mentally addled old wind bag needs to seek professional help and you by enabling her are not helping. If she has something coherent to say I am more than willing to listen. However the incessant tripe that she insists on printing while at the same time not engaging in any meaningful discussion is at its base deserving of derision.
So basically bite me Hondo.

He is speaking the truth.The truth cannot be faulted.The truth will set you free.

I think it's worth mentioning as well, that you and I have had many debates, over the years, each of us firmly committed to our respective POV, and yet, we have remained very good friends, for many years, and, in fact, I'd say much more, than just good friends.
It's a shame that we have some on here who think that harrassing, insuting and stalking another member, equals adult debate, and the worst offenders are the very members who suggest they are above it all.
This forum has turned into Steve, Ugo, Sev., and LWW's trash can.
I won't comment any further than I have other than to say yes we have had our debates. We have even gotten VERY heated from time to time... but yes we have remained as extremely close friends despite our differences and our occasional out of line posts to each other... because overall we have kept our discourse civil. Everybody could do that if they wanted. I won't go as far to say that we've never upset one another, but in the end we always come back around. And that's what this board used to be that I miss...
Sack

I miss it as well.
I will make a statement, here and now, directly.
I do add to the negativity, when I see a quote of something they write, which is absurd, or mean, or in the case of several poster's, totally irrelevant to the subject of the thread, and personally insulting as well...
I have requested that since they hate me so much, why not stop reading my posts, for the sake of others here, and to go at least half way, toward a more pleasant forum, for all of us, and done so, many times, asked they join me in a mutual total ignore.
Now, in the future, I am not going to write anything at all about them, on those occasions, when one of my friends here, highlights their nastiness, and their failure to address the subject, at hand, and instead, reduce a thread to nothing more than juvenile attacks. I will not refer to any of them, in any way, at all, going forward.
I honestly do not read their stuff...but I won't even refer to it, or to them, going forward., regardless of how filthy they get, and, you have to admit, Sack, given the two statements I quoted, it is filth.
But just watch, it won't make a bit of difference in their own stalking and insulting M.O. ...because their ONLY intent, is to be rude, and vicious, and to continue with the personal insults, and nastiness.
Steve, Sev, Ugota, LWW, Johnny D., stalk every single post I write, because they cannot abide opposing opinions, and particularly not from a proud Liberal Woman, who supports women's rights, Gay rights, helping our poor and hungry, Gun Controls of some sort, and the Democratic Party!
As you know, I don't respond to their irrational, non stop attacks. I would far prefer to see a return to the days when we could get a bit heated, but kept things to some standard of give and take, and fairness.
When one member, fills the board with thousands of one-liner, condescending, insulting, posts, in just a few months, I find it hard to understand how you could suggest any rational intelligence, on his part, but we all have a right to our opinions.
When someone posts over fifteen thousand posts, since November 10th, of 2007, many of them one liner insults to others, and the forum moderator does nothing about it, something isn't right around here.
You know, as well as I, that he is spamming this forum....purposefully, and degrading it with irrational, non stop, insulting posts.
Does anyone really care which member's name is on top of the list??? I know I don't.
It doesn't get much more juvenile, and ridiculous, than that, IMO.
Oh, and BTW, IMO, there is NO ACCEPTABLE CONTEXT for any man to write....
"When a woman spreads her legs, she loses her defense."
And Sev's quoted post, above, opure filth, whether you want to admit it, or not, but it shows me who he is.
I want NOTHING at all to do with any of them, and have asked them to stay away from my posts, as I do theirs. That's about all that I can do, other then be sure not to make any reference, at all, to their existance, very easy to do..so consider it my contribution, to more peace on this forum....

 Friend i once enjoyed your posts years ago.Then you became a very hateful person.All you post is repetitive news and then you curse and wail to no end.This is why all over the internet you are known as gail the BS wailer.
Wolfi continues to curse and demean eveyone.He threatens do do harm to one of our top members while constantly cyberstalking him.He never posts anything at all of value.
handoe was a school teacher that laces his posts with vile hatred and talks about porn.Nice guy to have as a teacher,huh.The stupid things he posts brings on his own problems.
Stretch and q well what can one say about uneducated followers who can't think for themselves.

Writing Skills Top Employer Lists - Vol State Can Help
Submitted on July 02, 2013 at 12:06 PM
Writing can seem like a lost art until you look a bit closer at that iPad or Kindle screen. Writing is everywhere in the digital world. Effective and efficient prose is more important than ever. Volunteer State Community College can help students become better writers. That mission occurs in the classroom, but also in extracurricular writing for award-winning campus magazines and a student newspaper. Whether it be news stories, fiction, essays or poetry the college has a publication to help students showcase their work.
"Whether you email or Tweet, you are writing," said assistant professor Clay Scott. "Writing is, and always has been, an essential skill to communicate. Student publications allow writers to gain experience. It also allows them to receive feedback from their audience of readers."
Writing in different styles, and for different platforms, can inspire creativity in students.
"Any way that a student uses writing to express opinions, feelings or thoughts is a creative process," said English professor Cindy Wyatt. "It gets the student in touch with their inner selves. That can serve people for their entire lives. Creativity is a means of engaging the reader. Good writing has to have the reader in mind."
Employers say communication is an essential part of many job requirements.
"The most valuable attribute of job applicants, according to employers, is the ability to communicate," said Dr. Rick Parrent, director of Career Placement. "According to the National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE) the ability to verbally communicate with people, inside and outside the organization, was number one on their list. The ability to create and edit written reports was number eight on the list."
Alumnus Paul Farmer wrote newspaper stories, fiction and even poetry while at Vol State. After graduation, he put that experience to work as an online marketing analyst for a large national healthcare company.
"I had to submit examples of my writing to get this job," said Farmer. "I used the student work I did at Vol State. Writing for the school gave me the opportunity to do it for a real-world application."

My students all tried their hand at describing and defining culture so I decided to take a look at what some experts say about the meaning of culture. I came across an article titled "The Meaning of Culture" by Anna Katrina Davey on the Across Cultures website. The article states, "Culture is a framework of behavioral patterns, values, assumptions and experiences shared by a social group." It goes on to say that culture is something learned, "mental programming," and cultural conditioning. The important thing is to gain a perspective about our own cultural conditioning and to build our knowledge about other cultural systems so we can truly appreciate the diversity of our world.

Have you ever thought about the concept of public art? That is, art in public spaces? We all expect to go to a museum and see works of art. However, have you ever thought about the art exhibited in other spaces? For instance, at our school we have a sculpture of children playing just outside of our Elementary Building. This would be an example of art in a public space, funded by donors. In an article titled,"As Governments Across Europe Slash Costs, the Future of Public Art is Far from Assured" the issue of funding for art publicly displayed and the future of that when other programs are being cut is discussed. Art has been used in every culture and generation as a form of expression to societal issues. There are those who believe art should continue to be displayed in a very public fashion and then those that say people can visit a museum. Do you think art should be displayed publicly so that anyone passing by can enjoy it? Do you think art in public spaces is important enough to fund even in this down economy?

Lipid Panel
Topic Overview
A lipid panel is a blood test that measures lipids—fats and fatty substances used as a source of energy by your body. Lipids include cholesterol, triglycerides, high-density lipoprotein (HDL), and low-density lipoprotein (LDL).
This panel measures:
- Total cholesterol level.
- Triglyceride level.
- HDL cholesterol level. This is the "good" cholesterol.
- LDL cholesterol level. This is the "bad" cholesterol.
Other measurements that may be done for a lipid panel include:
- Very-low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) cholesterol level.
- The ratio of total cholesterol to HDL.
- The ratio of LDL to HDL.
Lipids are found in your blood and are stored in tissues. They are an important part of cells, and they help keep your body working normally. Lipid disorders, such as high cholesterol, may lead to life-threatening illnesses, such as coronary artery disease (CAD), heart attack, or stroke.
Your doctor may order a lipid panel as part of a regular health examination. Your doctor may use the results of this test to prevent, check on, or diagnose a medical condition.
Follow your doctor's instructions on how to prepare for this test. If your doctor tells you to fast before your test, do not eat or drink anything except water for 9 to 12 hours before having your blood drawn. Usually, you are allowed to take your medicines with water the morning of the test. Fasting is not always necessary, but it may be recommended. Do not eat high-fat foods the night before the test. Do not drink alcohol or exercise strenuously before the test.
If your doctor finds a lipid disorder, treatment may be started to help lower your blood lipid levels. Your treatment could include medicines, diet changes, weight loss, and exercise.
To learn more, see the topic Cholesterol and Triglyceride Tests.

Welcome from the Great Northwest
New Member from Virginia, I am really into revolvers ( Smith & Wesson & Ruger ) to me they are great looking and very functional never going put of style.
Welcome to HandGunForum.net!
"Placement is power" -- seen in an article by Stephen A. Camp
(RIP, Mr. Camp; you will be remembered, and missed)
Welcome from another Virginian. At present, I only have two revolvers in my collection: a Ruger Security Six 4" barrel and a Ruger Redhawk 5 1/2" barrel. Both are in stainless steel. I bought the Security Six in 1976 and it has "Made in the 200th year of American Liberty" stamped on the frame's left side. Got the Redhawk in 1984.
Where in VA are you? I live around Troy in central VA. WELCOME!

And on it goes
Not a big fan of archipelagos in general, but i'm sure you will make it something to look at. Looking forward to the progress!
I'm trapped in Darkness,
Still I reach out for the Stars
I'd love to see all the pieces stitched together eventually, in a massive wall-map.
@Eilathen: Now I know the ULTIMATE map to irritate you: an archipelago with triangle mountains.
So, judging by the color scheme (which I dig), will we see a more southern part of Oraven this time?
@ Eilathen : I like archipelagos shapes but I don't find that many archipelgos maps. Though it has less features on them, I'm not sure it's the easiest maps to do ( not that much room, harder to label etc.)
@ Lingon : my idea is some tropical/volcanic islands, let's see how this will go
I am a big fan of archipelagos myself, and can't wait to see what you do. Is there a reason it is in a sort of a swirl shape in your world, or is it just a design thing? I find that to be very interesting.
As am I a fan of them.
Max, I like what you have here so far. You really are very prolific! Do you plan to use these Oraven maps in the future?
Thanks guys
@ Failtality : The hard part of an archipelago is to have enough lands room to place geographical stuff and labels while having a pretty good convincing islands landshapes so the swirl shape was drawn regarding the format of the page but it sure has some explanation in the backgound story of the place
@ Viking, yes:
Already a cool map with the kind of shapes that I like...
Volcanic archipelago make me think about Guildwars right now. But I'm sure yours will be a lot much better !
And as a lot of people, I am eager to see this world map one day !

Vertices item highlited in Form Editor, Right Click -> Duplicate on this item.
Now rename duplicated item to 3DC AppLink, remove all text from 'command' field,
enter this text instead and hit 'Return': @3dc_applink.lxm
Choose custom icon, you should have 3dc_applink.png icon in your Luxology\Scripts folder.
Installation for modo 301/302:
AppLink should also work in older modo versions, such as 301 and 302. To use AppLink script
in modo 30x on Windows OS, you should install Python 2.4 (even if you already have higher version
of Python installed, such as 2.5/2.6/2.7/3.1, it won't help to run AppLink in modo 30x, install
Python 2.4 - it could coexist with any and all Python versions already installed without any problem
as long as it's installed in it's own folder - default installation option in Python installers).
Download last Python 2.4 for Windows here:
Python 2.4.4 (FINAL)
On Mac OS AppLink should work in modo 30x without installing Python.
In modo, select object(s) you want to edit in 3D-Coat, run AppLink UI via created button
or by entering @3dc_applink.lxm in the 'command' field in the bottom-right of the modo UI,
choose 3D-Coat Export Type and hit 'Export to 3D-Coat' button. Choose the name and location
of the file and set file type to .obj
Run 3D-Coat (or bring the focus to it's window if 3D-Coat was started earlier), a dialog
with options based on your 'Export Type' selection in AppLink script should pop up. Set
needed options, hit 'OK' and edit imported mesh to your heart content, using 3D-Coat's rich
features for Texture Painting, UV Editing, Retopo and Sculpting. When done, select File ->
Open in Originall App from 3D-Coat main Menu.
Now go back to modo, hit 'Import from 3D-Coat' button to bring edited mesh with textures
and maps created in 3D-Coat back to modo, shaders will be created and texture maps
assigned to the correct shader effects (displacement, normals, specular and color).
You can repeat the whole process as many times as needed.
Usage (Auto-Import):
Now you can send meshes to Modo straight from 3D-Coat, by using File -> Export to -> Modo menu in 3D-Coat.
Modo will be started if needed, and mesh will appear in the scene automatically within 45 seconds (Use this time to choose export options and to save files in 3D-Coat).
If Modo started earlier, to get geometry and textures you've exported from 3D-Coat
via File -> Export to -> Modo menu use "Get from 3D-Coat" button in AppLink GUI as usual.
To use Auto-Import functionality (originating from 3D-Coat, by using File -> Export to -> Modo) you should use normal AppLink at least once, so it could create needed files for Auto-Import functionality.
