I do wish I liked this series more. Some are great fun, some just don't work for me.
Awesome always.
It is lovely to go back and reread these Discworld books. This the 19th in the series is another enjoyable tale of the City Watch and Commander Sam Vimes (third of the City Watch books).
This has some "awful" puns in it, such as the following regarding Angua (and you need to know the character to appreciate):
"What was it those dwarfs said the other day? One said something like, 'She feels the need,' and the other one said, 'Yeah, the need to feed.'"
and much humour, often satirical:
"Whoever had created humanity had left in a major design flaw. It was its tendency to bend at the knees."
"while it was regarded as pretty good evidence of criminality to be living in a slum, for some reason owning a whole street of them merely got you invited to the very best social occasions."
"I don't want a killer working in my slaughterhouse!"
or just good old humour:
"A lot of people and the smell of sausages meant a performance of the street theatre that was life in Ankh-Morpork."
Really fun.
Pratchett is always great fun and I try and read one of these each year at some point. Not my favorite of his books but still very good. I think I'll read a non-night's watch book next to get back to some of the other characters I haven't seen in a while like Rincewind, etc.
One of the most enjoyable Discworld books I've read (although they're all pretty good!) In this one, Pratchett takes on the murder-mystery genre. Although it's still quite funny, it goes beyond just humor, presenting the reader with a well-plotted tale...
It's later in the series, so Discworld is in a sort-of-Industrial-Revolution state, and the undead feature prominently as well (I think they were introduced in 'Carpe Jugulum'?)
Someone in Ankh-Morpork has been killing harmless old men, and the various and eccentric characters of the Watch are on the case in search of Clues. At the same time, it seems someone has been slowly poisoning Lord Veternari, and the golems of the city (like the golems of Jewish lore, clay figures imbued with the semblance of life, in Discworld used as 24-hr labor) have been acting in a suspicious manner....
Subplots abound... Will Angua the werewolf and Captain Carrot work out their interracial relationship? Will Cheery Littlebottom the dwarf realize her inner femininity? Will the low-brow Corporal Nobbs truly be accepted as one of the peers of the realm?
All this, and there's also a few plugs for civil rights, animal rights, and a reasonable work day!"
Feet of Clay is another in the sub-series of books about the Ankh-Morpork City Watch. It involves golems, and murder, and an assassination plot, and the Watch's new forensic alchemist, and the rightful king, and the problems of being a vegetarian werewolf. It manages to be both a fine fantasy and a unique police procedural, with some cogent things to say about the human urge for kings. And it is almost continuously hilarious. It is difficult to say anything else about this book without sounding like a jacket blurb. Let us simply note that Pratchett performs to his usual standard.

In Ankh-Morpork, the greatest of Discworld's cities, Commander Vimes is determined to stop an unlicensed murderer, and his investigation leads to a vampire dragon, a vegetarian werewolf, and other strange discoveries.

Citing concerns from stakeholders, eight members of the Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources called on EPA Administrator Gina McCarthy to make ENERGY STAR's development process for specifications publicly available.
"Our specific concerns center on whether the EPA is implementing the ENERGY STAR program in a transparent manner and is adequately collaborating with its stakeholders," the senators wrote in a Nov. 26 letter to McCarthy. "Many stakeholders continue to complain that they feel their input is ignored and the agency fails to adequately explain how standards are developed and program decisions are made."
The committee raised similar concerns with the EPA two years ago, but the most recent complaints were made after the agency issued a new set of performance standards for windows, doors, and skylights that will take effect Jan. 1, 2015. Among the changes:
Stakeholders in the North and South-Central zones in particular complain that "their input was set aside with little or no explanation, and that the reasoning behind the agency's decision has not been made available to them," the letter notes.
No formal rulemaking process is required for ENERGY STAR, but major decisions should be "supported by a publicly available record," the lawmakers say.

In the framework of the EuroMeSCo ENI Project, the Global Political Trends Center organises a workshop on 10 October in Istanbul, whose aim is to present and discuss with policy makers, academics, researchers and practitioners of various fields, preliminary research results of the research group on the future of Syria. The workshop will be structured along four main topics: national reconciliation and protection of minorities; military, security and counter-terrorism; state-building; and peace-keeping, reconstruction and development.
Unsolved conflicts in the Middle East, demographic changes and unfavourable socio-economic situation in the Southern and Eastern Mediterranean produced migrants and refugees flows on unprecedented scale. This volume examines the socio-economic impact of those flows and policy responses, focusing on four case studies: Jordan, Lebanon, Turkey and Greece.
The first chapter provides with a general picture and introduces some qualitative and quantitative data of the flows. The following two chapters examine issues related to social and economic integration in three southern Mediterranean countries receiving the biggest number of refugees: Jordan, Lebanon and Turkey. The last chapter focuses on Greece, the main gate for migrants and refugees entering Europe, giving insights into asylum procedures in Greece, but also, for comparative purposes, in Italy.
The Joint Policy Study is the outcome of the Working Package on "Migrants and Refugees. Impact and Policies", led by the Center for Strategic Studies – University of Jordan, in the framework for the EuroMeSCo ENI Project, co-financed by the European Union and the European Institute of the Mediterranean (IEMed).
Read the Joint Policy Study
Euro-Mediterranean relations have been shaped by the EU's neo-functionalist approach to pacify, stabilise and govern the Mediterranean region through the expansion of its own norms, laws and standards and the integration of sectors. Trade liberalisation based on neoliberal considerations has been at the core of the economic development policies promoted by the EU. After the Arab uprisings, the ENP has been still trapped in neoliberal paradigms and the idea that Europe's experiences are a lesson for all. Expert analyses as well as the policies and instruments developed have exclusively focused on elites and formal institutions and have largely ignored the vast sphere of informality which has emerged and infused all sectors of life. This paper focuses on informality as a central element of neo-authoritarian governmentality. It suggests that policies towards the southern neighbourhood need to re-evaluate the effects of neoliberal reforms, include informal relations on all levels of state and society into its policy considerations and rethink the indicators measuring change and development.

In its attempt to curb irregular immigration the EU has deployed a number of policies and instruments. One of them is the "Trust Fund for Africa", adopted during the EU-Africa Summit and informal Council meeting, which took place in Malta's capital Valletta in November 2015. This brief provides an account of the context which led to Valletta Summit, the setting up of the fund, its main objectives, legal basis and resources. It refers to some of the key controversies around it and also the first batch of projects adopted up to mid-2016.
Read the Policy Brief
The Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan is one of the most water scarce countries in the world. The constant growth of its resident refugee community, the high native population growth, and climate changes are further depleting its already limited water reserves. The present paper discusses the results of a study aimed at solving Jordan's water-related problems using space-based technologies. It presents suggestions for the successful implementation of the proposed solutions, identifying the possible bottlenecks and obstacles on both the legislative and technical, as well as socio-economic ends, and presents ways the proposed undertakings would benefit the country.

Scientists at The Neuro find important time factor in second-language acquisition
The age at which children learn a second language can have a significant bearing on the structure of their adult brain, according to a new joint study by the Montreal Neurological Institute and Hospital - The Neuro at McGill University and Oxford University. The majority of people in the world learn to speak more than one language during their lifetime. Many do so with great proficiency particularly if the languages are learned simultaneously or from early in development.
We often have expectations about utterances before they are uttered.

In the Gallery 10 and the Decorative Arts Gallery, MAM will display the works upon which the museum was founded. And the Baumgartner Galleria will display items that illustrate the history of MAM.

7 Word of Mouth Trends You Should Know: Insights from the WOMMA Summit
This year's WOMMA Summit proved to be one of most insightful events of 2011. Aside from tons of Vegas-style fun, networking and of course, a little casino action, the conference delivered a treasure trove of ideas and insights for word of mouth practitioners.
It was no surprise that social media was one of the hottest topics on both the conference agenda and marketplace floor. But beyond simply embracing social media channels in innovative ways, a few key trends surfaced that everyone should have on their radar in the coming year.
Social business is becoming a reality.
What started as the social customer and moved to the social brand has now has transformed into social business. What does that mean? Businesses of all industries and sizes are evolving their social media activities to permeate all facets of business. Adoption of social media in departments outside of just Marketing was a huge topic of discussion on multiple panels. A couple of the shining stars cited as examples of how to do this well included IBM and SAP which have worked to roll out social media corporate-wide.
Michael Brito shared the simple but poignant quote is his session "if you love your customers they will love you back. And tell others." That not only spans the communication department but also the sales team, the customer department and any employee or area of the business that interacts with customers.
Curation is becoming the best friend of communicators.
We've heard for years now that we're living in the information age. News and ideas are spread like wildfire across the social web. WOM practitioners should and are using this to their advantage in numerous ways. A few noteworthy ways businesses are finding and sharing content to impact business strategy include:
- Customer feedback and stories to share on branded channels or be used for aggregating insights on how to better business areas
- Relevant news that resonates with your online community
- Helpful information that provides value to both customers, prospects and members of your industry
Feed Magnet, a fellow Austin company, was a hit throughout the conference showcasing a great example of how to curate content in a meaningful way. By pulling in content from around the social web tagged with #womma, its displays made people stop, watch and reflect on what others were saying. In turn, the displays encouraged more activity by conference attendees who had fun seeing their personal content in the streams.
Content, content, content.
At the heart of social media and word of mouth is content. The end result of this is conversations, but that conversation is often promoted from content your brand or agency shares. News stories, relevant industry trends, product updates or personal reflections help spark this conversation. And when created or shared well, content can make the different between a forgettable or a talkable brand.
Creating unique experiences
Different audiences crave different interactions. Engagement is a growing buzz word for WOM practitioners that can have different meanings to different brands. The question each should be asking is "what type of experiences mean the most to my audience?" The 2011 WOMMA Summit celebrated the leaders at the forefront of creating these experiences with their WOMMY awards. One clear trend that emerged in the area of unique experiences was that technology is playing an ever-growing role in helping to create memorable interactions with options like custom Facebook tabs and personalized applications.
Advocacy programs.
Influence remains a big focus but actual advocacy (or action) is where the focus is shifting. Fully crafted advocacy programs were at the center of this conversation.The brands talked about them. And the agencies in attendance were helping the brands plan and implement them. The idea being that action should be the ultimate goal for brands striving the build word of mouth.
This might come in the form of soliciting feedback like Dell does for its Idea Storm or like Starbucks implemented for My Starbucks Idea. All of the examples shared during the conference had one thing in common: they engaged customers in ways that enabled their conversations to be heard and thus amplified ideas and awareness of the brands themselves.
Measurement. Consistent measurement, that is.
Experts far and wide still have varying ideas on exactly what measurements are most important for social media and word of mouth activity. Is it the size of networks and reach? Or engagement and interactions? And what about the ultimate goal of conversions? The resounding consensus that emerged from WOMMA was that each company or agency might have different measurement metrics that matter more to them. However, the key to truly measuring initiatives is to be consistent in what you measure across the business.
Operationalizing social media
After all the social media strategies, tips and examples were shared, the obvious topic left for discussion was how to make it scaleable. One successful campaign or experience is great, but operationalizing social media will be the focus, and challenge, in the near future. Lots of ideas were explored, but the three solutions that percolated to the top were policies, training and technology. Providing the protection to brands and employees, paired with guidance and technology solutions to scale activities will continue to rise in importance as social business and WOM expand.
Thanks to WOMMA for yet another wonderful and insightful event and to the brands, agencies and practitioners who came, shared and conquered another year of WOM goodness!
Have a favorite takeaway I missed? Add to the list and keep the word of mouth spreading until the next big event.

"A Pioneer Church in the Oconee Territory: A Historical Synopsis of Antioch Christian Church," compiled by Billy Boyd Lavender (Published by iUniverse, 403 pp. $37.95)
Billy Lavender was casually dressed in jeans, a green pullover shirt and tennis shoes as he leaned back in his recliner and put on his reading glasses. Peppy, his dog, napped on the green carpet of the living room, where a wood stove anchored one side of the room and a mounted deer head and three large bass decorated the brown-paneled wall.
He opened a book to read a comment from W.T. Lowe, a man who lived during the 19th century in this part of Southern Oconee County called Antioch Community.
"I can remember when there wasn't a train in these parts. It certainly is a fast time," Lavender read aloud. Looking up from the book, he laughed. "That's what W.T. said."
Today, the Vietnam veteran and retired telecommunications technician is disabled due to a heart condition, but he has put his heart and time into a book that chronicles the history of Antioch Christian Church, the oldest Disciples of Christ church in Georgia. The church was established 183 years ago, but the church history goes even further back on the site to a log structure built in 1806 called "Old Republican." Its members were referred to in those early times variously as O'Kellyites, Campbellites and Stoneities.
The book, compiled over a period of more than six years, has sold about 200 copies since it came out earlier this year. "A Pioneer Church In the Oconee Territory: A Historical Synopsis of Antioch Christian Church" is published by iUniverse, Lincoln, Neb., and is dedicated to Lizzie Ruth Fambrough Lavender, a woman who for many years collected historical documents, some dating back 161 years. Those documents became the backbone of information for the book.
Writing and compiling the stories that would constitute the church history fell upon Lavender's shoulders. The idea for a book arose from a request from a church board that Lavender document all the graves in the church cemetery. Lavender said he immediately sought help from his lifelong friend Edwin Bowden, who died in January.
"Edwin is the No.1 cemetery man in the whole county and so I worked with him on that and it dovetailed into 'where are our (church) records,' " he said.
When the idea of writing a history on the church became a firm goal, Lavender sought such records, but he determined that there were virtually none available at the church. He appealed to the congregation to share documents that might be in family Bibles or trunks, but received only a smattering of items.
At the time, he had no idea that a garbage bag and an old album would be the key to telling the history of Antioch Christian.
"Everybody told me that aunt Lizzie Ruth was the key and she passed away in '97 and this was '99," he said. It so happened that Lavender's aunt, before her death, had taken some of her collection, put it into a plastic garbage bag, and gave it to her sister-in-law, Geneva Fambrough, who in turn had her husband, Lindsey Fambrough, place it in their barn. (The couple is now deceased.) The bag's location for a time was forgotten. In addition, she had given an album of documents to Magdalene Stovall, who later loaned this information to the church for use in the book.
"One day, I was over at Mary Ruth's (Moore) doing some kind of research and Linda Green (Geneva's daughter) called and said they had found it. It took three days to sort it out," he recalled.
The album and these documents provided the "treasured and priceless material" for the book, according to Billy Lavender. Old newspaper articles, copies of the original deed, Baptismal records, a list of preachers, and numerous other materials were in the collection.
"You don't need but a certain amount for it to be pivotal," Lavender said about the information as he applied each to their particular time period.
Lavender said he believes his aunt collected information on the church as a hobby. He has fond memories of spending time at her farm on Greensboro Highway.
"The thing I remember the most about her is her good cooking and her hospitality. It was just the two (husband Carl), but everything was so organized and neatly prepared," he said.
In compiling the book, Lavender worked with a church committee composed of Jimmy Christopher, Evelyn Brown, Mary Ruth Moore, Jimmy Lavender, Joe Collier and Grace Collier.
The book integrates materials from old letters and newspaper articles as well as church bulletins.
For instance, the book contains a newspaper interview with Isaac Lowe in August 1886 by a writer with the Athens Daily Banner-Watchman. The story gives a unique look more than a century ago at this part of Oconee County, where the church was an integral part of the community. Lowe grew up in Antioch, but at the time was living in Athens. He accompanied the writer to Antioch Community for a tour of his old homeplace. Lowe and the writer attended a Sunday service at Antioch Christian, which was packed for a sermon from the Rev. S.S. Landrum, who was described in his obituary as an artist, poet and a man with a brilliant mind.
"Mr. Landrum makes some good points, but they are mixed with too much chaff," the unnamed reporter wrote. The unimpressed reporter also noted that Landrum's delivery was poor.
The pair also visited the home of old Dr. Lindsey Durham, who in the early 19th century was one of the state's wealthiest men. "The papering in the parlor of this old house is a curiosity indeed. It was imported from England and is almost as tough as parchment," the story states. From here they visited the farm of Lumpkin Fambrough, where they enjoyed watermelon.
In the garbage bag, Lavender also located a letter written sometime after 1905 by the Rev. Erastus L. Shelnutt, a former pastor. In the letter, Shelnutt writes, "Antioch has been good to me and I love Antioch as I love no other church, and during all these years I have not failed to pray daily for Antioch." Shelnutt died in 1941.
The book touches on many aspects of the church including the traditional Antioch barbecue, which goes back to the 1930s and continues even, where both pork and goat are served.
Lavender even found minutes from the early 1980s when some members of the church discussed putting together a history book on the church. It never materialized and many of those people are now dead, including his aunt Lizzie Ruth Lavender, who was on the committee.
Lavender sees a little irony in that.
"If she just knew that her nephew would take the ball and run with it," he said.
"My goal and the mission when I started was to put a copy in every member's hand that wanted one. Get a copy to everyone that wanted one," he said.
Lavender said he is proud to have put the history together in book form.
He said many people in this community have left a legacy in church service.
"I've recovered it," he said before he walked outside his home and stood among the leafless hardwoods that surround his rural home. This is the community where he grew from a child to a man. Or, as he states in the book, "I was blessed being a country boy and raised in a fine family with six members where everyone was older than I was. Unlike many Americans who moved from house to house, state to state, church to church, I never knew but one home and one church for the first 19 years of my life."

Factory productivity growth in 2004
March 04, 2005
Productivity, as measured by output per hour, increased 5.2 percent in the manufacturing sector in 2004, the same as in 2003.
The 5.2-percent growth in productivity in 2004 resulted from an increase in output of 4.8 percent and a decline in hours of 0.4 percent.
In contrast, the gain in manufacturing productivity in 2003 was the result of unchanged output and a 4.9-percent decline in hours.
These data are a product of the BLS Productivity and Costs program. Data are subject to revision. Additional information is available in "Productivity and Costs, Fourth Quarter and Annual Averages for 2004, Revised" (PDF) (TXT), news release USDL 05-344.

Historical Traveler Reviews Hampton Inn Garden District - St. Charles Avenue New Orleans
Very Nice Hotel
My husband and I just returned from a weekend in New Orleans. This is our fourth trip to N.O., but first time staying in the Garden District and at Hampton Inn. I did a lot of research before choosing this hotel. Since we were also traveling with another couple, I wanted to find a nice hotel, away from the French Quarter/downtown area, due to the crowds from a festival in town this weekend.
Thanks to the tripadvisor reviews, this was perfect. Right in the Garden District on the St. Charles streetcar line, clean and quiet. It's a basic hotel, no bellman, no concierge, etc. However, clean and complimentary parking. We drove out to River Road to see the plantations. Then, parked the car and rode the streetcar to the French Quarter. (Parking downtown in costly and driving is almost a nuisance). The streetcar ride was about 2.5 miles, and a nice ride. If you want to be closer to the action of the FQ, and within walking distance to your hotel, you may want to pick another hotel. However, if you want easy access to the FQ, but a quick get away from the noise and crowds, stay in the lovely Garden District... at the Hampton Inn. The rates are reasonable, it's clean and quiet!
Nice Hotel
Nice hotel. Rooms small. Breakfast is good. Very convenient because the trolley runs in front of hotel which takes you into the French Quarter.
First Class Hotel for a cheap price, worth EVERY penny!
This Hampton Inn location is AWESOME! The staff is very, very, very helpful in the front desk and they try to give you the world of advice to enjoy your stay in New Orleans. The breakfast isn't no .50 cent breakfast it is more like a $6 dollar breakfast because they go all out and everyday they have Sausage, Eggs, Crossiants, Muffins, Bananas, Orange Juice... basically anything that a normal person would eat for breakfast and the breakfast is First Class. The maids are very friendly and they keep your room nice and clean and the bathrooms are clean as well. Also when you want to leave the hotel you notice by the front doors and across the street, they have streetcars that run every 15 minutes to Borubon Street and other areas of the city and I highly recommend that you use the streetcar as opposed to driving because in downtown New Orleans, like any other big city... it's tough to find parking and if you do find parking it tends to be in a parking lot where you have to pay the attendant to park so take the streetcar. St Charles Ave you will notice when you get to Hampton Inn is an UPSCALE neighbrood. The streetcar is $1.50/one way or $15.00/person for a three (3) day pass. You wouldn't think that New Orleans would specialize in "Mexican Food" but I live near Houston and down in Houston it's "Tex-Mex Country" in terms of Mexican restaurants and right next to the Hampton Inn on the left is the BEST Mexican food that I have EVER EATEN... HANDS DOWN, and also it is cheap and only about 10 steps from the hotel itself, that's how close it is. Another good thing about this Hotel is that the PARKING is FREE and "If it's free, it's for me". That also saves you money as oppose to staying at another hotel closer into downtown New Orleans and paying for Valet parking. All in All, I enjoyed my stay at Hampton Inn St Charles Ave, and you will too!
Stay Here--great advice from natives!!
While staying at a Hampton Inn in Foley, AL, I ran into some people from New Orleans. Since I planned to go to New Orleans the next day, they highly recommended this hotel. The desk clerk at the Foley Hampton made my reservation. It is reasonably priced, very clean, and in a great location. This is such a reliable chain. That said, each hotel has it's own character. The courtyard with the swimming pool is very New Orleans and, of course, the streetcars running out front just add to the whole experience. It's walking distance to Lafayette Cemetary, and all the mansions of the Garden District. Plus, the Superior Grill is right next door with Happy Hour Margaritas every Tues., Wed., and Thursday. Just got back to MN (May 29,2004) Loved my stay in New Orleans!
Very pleased!
We chose this hotel based on the positive comments at Tripadvisor and we were not disappointed. The hotel was clean and attractive with friendly and helpful staff. Parking was convenient and free. The continental breakfast was above average. The pool is only a small lap pool but the surrounding courtyard is a pleasant place to relax and eat breakfast. And, the bed was one of the most comfortable we've ever had at a chain hotel.
The St. Charles streetcar stops in front of the hotel and, with the opening of the new Canal streetcar line, will get you almost anywhere you would want to go. I would definitely recommend this hotel.
A Hidden Gem in the Garden District
The Hampton Inn Garden District (St. Charles Street) surpassed our expectations on every front. We were expecting a basic chain hotel, but what we experienced a hidden gem wrapped in a relatively new property.
The location, public rooms, accommodations, service and continental breakfast were outstanding. Having free parking and easy access to the St. Charles street car right outside the front door were added benefits. We will definitely be recommending this property to our friends.
Hampton Inn is Always Great!
Stayed at the Hampton Inn on St. Charles for a few nights in February of 2002. The hotel is located right on the St. Charles streetcar line, a few miles out of the French Quarter toward Loyola and Tulane. Out the back door of the hotel is Prytania. The location is perfect. A streetcar ride through the beautiful garden district is all it takes to get to the Quarter. Not going to say much about the hotel - it was nice, clean, friendly, etc. - like all Hampton Inns. Two notable things - as people used to New York City cab rides and their posted rates, we were horrifed to pay $20 + $$$ for our luggage for a 2 mile or so cab ride to the port - as people used to New York City hotel rates for checking your luggage, we were pleasantly surprised that our luggage was checked for no charge!
Positive experience at the Hampton-always!
On the airport van ride thru New Orleans at 11:30 pm on the way to our hotel, my hubby and I heaved a sigh of relief as we listened to Harleys roaring and setting off car alarms(there was a motorcycle rally in town for the weekend). We were so glad that our hotel was away from the City a bit in the Garden District. The Hampton Inn on St Charles was so elegant and accomodating! The streetcar ran right in front of the hotel and it was easy to get a day pass to ride any public transport in the city. Ride the Nanchez Riverboat for a relaxing afternoon and make sure to visit the rotating lounge on top of the World Trade Center!! It was a nice refresher before hitting the Quarter for dinner and partying!
Nice place to stay in the Garden Dist.
Stayed at the Hampton-StCharles Feb7-9, 2003. This was a before cruise hotel for us. We spent Friday and Saturday here before a Sunday departure on the Carnival Conquest. The hotel is clean the staff personable. We enjoyed the complimentry continental breakfast in the mornings. It is very convient with the street car just outside the door. We did not rent a car and found we really didn't need one. The Garden dist is BEAUTIFUL. We would stay here again.
Great Chain Hotel!!
The Hampton Inn Garden District was more than I expected. It blends in well with the surroundings. The rooms are above average! They have a relaxing juice and cheese reception in the afternoon. The staff was excellent. Do NOT stay in the French Quarter, stay HERE. Parking is on site and FREE. The streetcar stops in front of the hotel and can wisk you to the French Quarter. Restaurants such as Commanders Palace, Emeril's Delmonico, Copelands's, etc. are all nearby.

Thanks for watching :)
Soooooo.... Ive been tinkering with PCs since about 2003 when I got out of the USMC. I bought my first PC off a fellow Marine for about $50. That was a Compaq Presario something something. It had a Celeron and about 256mb RAM. It was at this time when I discovered Maximum PC and that was the beginning of my PC tinkering journey. Since then I have built a few systems, non which I would call extreme or super powerful, but all doing exactly what I wanted, nothing more (sometimes less). As for gaming, I have been on and off since about 2003, mainly playinf UT2003 and SC4 and the HL1 series. Yeah, I know...whatever. Anyways, Last year when my daughter was born, I discovered that its not that bad staying up watching her....because I can play games while I do it :) I have always heard about steam, but never really paid attention to it until then. So I checked it out and it was a godsend for me. I currently have about 150+ games on steam, most the result of summer deals and deals in general as
Thanks for watching :)
I've been playing lots of indie games that I acquired from the past few Humble Bundles. I'm especially addicted to Dungeons of Dredmor, Shank, Super Meat Boy and Cave Story +. I recently purchased a USB Gamepad that makes a few of these games so much more enjoyable. For those wondering, I got the SNES pad for my ROMS. Ill be getting the NES in a few weeks for those ROMS.

2. JASON ALLEN: Although he started at cornerback in two of his last three college seasons (2003 and 2005), he played his best football as the Vols' No. 1 free safety in 2004. The 6-2, 205-pounder was a team captain in '04 and '05, earning All-SEC recognition in '04. Allen recorded 57 tackles and 11 pass breakups in '03, then led the SEC with 123 tackles in '04. He played in just five games as a senior due to a dislocated hip but still was selected by the Miami Dolphins with the 16th pick in the 2006 NFL Draft. His career numbers at UT include 220 tackles, 18 pass breakups and 4 interceptions.
3. GIBRIL WILSON: This talented junior college transfer started in 2002 and 2003, providing solid pass defense and outstanding run support. The 6-0, 195-pounder registered 82 tackles and 5 pass breakups as a junior, then recorded 114 tackles, 12 PBU and 3 interceptions as a senior. Excelling at the safety blitz, he recorded 5.5 sacks in his two years on The Hill. He has gone on to a solid NFL career.
4. JULIAN BATTLE: Another juco transfer, this 6-3, 210-pounder started at strong safety in 2001 and at cornerback in 2002. Despite his size, he was the Vols' best one-on-one pass defender that season. Battle recorded 60 tackles, 9 pass breakups and 2 interceptions as a junior, then earned All-SEC recognition by registering 72 stops, 4 PBU and an interception as a senior. He was a third-round pick in the 2003 NFL Draft and spent four years in The League.
5. RASHAD BAKER: A four-year starter (2000-2003) in an era of secondary desperation, this converted wide receiver earned All-SEC honors as a junior in '02 and served as a team captain in '03. The 5-11, 190-pounder was consistent - recording 71 stops, 7 pass breakups and 4 interceptions as a sophomore, 60 stops, 7 PBU and 5 interceptions as a junior, then 71 stops and 5 PBU as a senior. He finished his college career with 233 tackles, 21 PBU and 11 interceptions. He was not picked in the 2004 NFL Draft but has spent parts of the past five years with five pro teams.

The Story Behind The Rainbow Flag
The colorful flag is used as a symbol of the LGBT community in nearly every corner of the globe, but it all started in San Francisco, CA.
1. The rainbow flag is an iconic symbol for the LGBT community:
3. Who can we thank for this colorful symbol of unity and pride?
4. You can thank Gilbert Baker:
After teaching himself to sew, he created banners for gay-rights marches and rallies while living in San Francisco during the '70s. In 1979 he began work at Paramount Flag Company. Baker was commissioned by the San Francisco Gay and Lesbian Pride Parade in response to a need for a symbol that could be used over and over.
5. Gilbert's original rainbow flag had eight stripes:
6. Each color with it's own meaning:
7. Baker said of his design:
8. Pink had to be dropped because, at the time, it was difficult to find for mass production.
9. Indigo would later be removed so that the flag would have an even number of stripes:
10. The first time the rainbow flag was used publicly was in 1978, at the San Francisco Gay and Lesbian Freedom Day Parade:
Baker and thirty volunteers hand-stitched and hand-dyed two huge flags for the parade. After the assassination of openly gay Supervisor Harvey Milk in November of that year, demand for the rainbow flags skyrocketed.
11. Before the rainbow flag was created, the most widely used symbol was the pink triangle:
12. The symbol was originally used by the Nazis in concentration camps to identify gay prisoners:
13. In 1988, the rainbow flag came gained national attention in the U.S. after a man named John Stout sued his landlord for not allowing him to display the flag from his West Hollywood apartment.
He won the case. Stout said afterwords, "This means I can continue with my life style; that I can express myself freely whenever I want to."
14. Gilerbt Baker famously said of his creation:
15. Listen to Gilbert discuss his rainbow flag:
- Donald Trump accused former Miss Universe Alicia Machado of being in a sex tape, calling her "disgusting." He's appeared in a softcore porn.
- The hair vitamins promoted by the Kardashians make "largely inaccurate" nutrient claims, according to lab tests.
- In a newly released video deposition, Trump implied he planned to call Mexicans "rapists" when he announced his presidential run.

JERUSALEM, Israel - A fatal car accident Saturday, which took the life of Future of Austria head Joerg Haider, has elicited accusations that Israeli agents engineered the incident.
Haider died from head and chest injuries sustained when the car he was driving crashed at high speed after veering off the road.
"This was [a] Zionist Jew job to prevent Haider's success in politics after big stock market scam that Jews are now pulling," stated a posting on the "Jewish Conspiracy Exposed" Web site.
"If Jews had spy [SIC] as Haider's aide, then why couldn't they kill him just before [the] second Great Depression that is caused by Jewish bankers?"
Another Web site, citing past postings, accused Israel's Mossad of plotting to kill Haider.
"Tragic as it may seem about the fate of the politicians who end up being murdered for daring to challenge Zionist power elite with 'politically incorrect views," the posting read.
"One thing is certain: the Zionist regime of Israel will perish when the time is right," the Web site stated.
Haider's Future of Austria party made a comeback in recent elections, winning 30 percent of the vote.
