"This sentence has five words. Here are five more words. Five-word sentences are fine. But several together become monotonous. Listen to what is happening. The writing is getting boring. The sound of it drones. It's like a stuck record. The ear demands some variety. Now listen. I vary the sentence length, and I create music. Music. The writing sings. It has a pleasant rhythm, a lilt, a harmony. I use short sentences. And I use sentences of medium length. And sometimes, when I am certain the reader is rested, I will engage him with a sentence of considerable length, a sentence that burns with energy and builds with all the impetus of a crescendo, the roll of the drums, the crash of the cymbals–sounds that say listen to this, it is important."

How To Not Be A Creepy Guy
April 10, 2013 | No Comments » | Topics: How To |
by heeeeerefishiefishie
It's about learning to read cues. Most girls (or people in general) don't like to straight-up tell you "Go away," but they'll send a number of signals to indicate that they're uncomfortable or don't want to talk to you.
- not responding to messages
- responding with one word
- answering questions but not asking you any (they're trying to be polite, but not trying to keep the conversation going)
- never initiating contact with you
- keeping conversation at a superficial level, changing the subject when you try to go deeper
- trying to escape the conversation (looking around frequently, looking at phone, talking to other people)
As for things you can do when talking to people:
- A comment on a girl's physical appearance, especially if you don't know her, and particularly through the internet, is not the best way to start a conversation. What do you say to "You have a gorgeous smile"? "Um, thanks." The end. It can go no further.
Try bringing up a mutual interest, mutual experience, etc. and work from there. Show interest in her as a human first, and then bring up her gorgeous smile- not only does it spark more conversational possibilities, it separates you from the creeps who are only interested in banging a hottie and don't care about the person that hottie might be.
With few exceptions, any line used to seduce women in porrn will NOT work in real life.
Another killer is a simple, "Hey," followed by silence. If you want to start the conversation, YOU come up with something to talk about. This goes with just about anyone. We all have that friend who gets bored, pops on chat and says "hey," hoping we have some way to entertain them.
Avoid overt sexual comments to anyone you don't know well, and most girls you do know well. Rule of thumb: Unless she has touched you of her own volition (this includes reciprocating physical contact you have initiated), you probably shouldn't be bringing up any sort of sex talk.
In general, avoid opening up too much personal information or asking too much personal information with people you don't know well. Hate to say it, but people just don't want to hear it most of the time, and it makes them uncomfortable.
Know who is and is not your close friend. Someone you've met once? Not a close friend. Someone you've chatted with occasionally on Facebook? Not a close friend. These people can become close friends, but be on the lookout for signals of interest before getting too excited.
On a related note, don't assume that one really good conversation has solidified your connection. It's easy to get overeager and pull a Tommy Boy[1] . Relationships take time to develop closeness, so even if you feel a connection right away, resist the urge to jump to BFF too soon. (Unless it's CLEARLY mutual, then congratulations! You got lucky.)
Respect boundaries. If someone seems uninterested in talking to you, DO NOT PUSH IT.
If someone doesn't want to talk to you, let it go. Don't try to make yourself feel better by insulting them, or try to make them feel guilty by sending them a long-winded sob story. There are 7 billion people on this planet, and odds are a few of them will like you, so don't worry too much about the others.
Finally, creepiness is subjective and it's a term people throw about carelessly these days. There are people who will call you a creep for arbitrary reasons, including some girls who will throw that label onto any guy they don't want to talk to. Try to keep a realistic view of yourself, get feedback from people you can trust to be honest about your behavior, and don't give up. Social ineptitude isn't congenital; you can do it.

The afternoon games of the Orlando Summer League featured three teams looking for their first win, and only two made it happen. Kelly Olynyk showed his first game wasn't a fluke in helping lead the Celtics to a win over the Pacers, and the Nets, although a bit more competitive, still fell short against the Heat.
Celtics' defense dismantles Pistons
The Celtics picked up their first win of the Summer League in a 93-63 blowout of the Pistons that was pretty much all over after the first quarter finished. Boston limited Detroit to just nine points and more turnovers than field goals in the first 10 minutes of play.
Olynyk followed up his 25-point debut with another solid start for the Celtics, stuffing the stat line with 13 points, six rebounds, three assists and five steals in just 21 minutes. Darius Johnson-Odom led the Celtics with 22 points, 14 of which he scored in the second half as the Celtics quickly put the game out of the Pistons' reach.
Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, the No. 8 pick in this year's draft, struggled for the second straight game, but showed improvements after a disastrous first game for the Pistons. Caldwell-Pope led the Pistons with 11 points and four steals, but still needed 10 attempts to get there, going just 1-of-6 from beyond the arc. To be fair to Caldwell-Pope, it wasn't just him struggling as the Pistons shot just 27.7 percent as a team from the field. Both Kim English and Peyton Siva went without a field goal in the game, hurling up 12 misses between the two.
The Celtics squad packaged together a nice game for the second night in a row, but it is hard to make much of the Pistons' effort. Detroit was a bit better in its win over the Nets on Sunday, but once again struggled greatly on offense. The Pistons are shooting just 32.5 percent from the field in their first two games of the Summer League.
Nets look better but still fall short against Heat
Brooklyn Nets coach Jason Kidd is still searching for that elusive first win as the Miami Heat pulled away in the fourth quarter with a 93-86 win. Scotty Hopson led the charge with 22 points and Ian Clark chipped in an additional 19.
NetsDaily called the Miami Heat one of the weakest summer league teams, pointing out the squad has just one NBA roster player, no first-round picks and one second-round pick. Even the scrubs are allowed their time to shine, but the Kidd can't be too encouraged by a losing effort to the Heat.
It wasn't all bad, however, as Mason Plumlee turned in another solid effort, scoring 23 points on a perfect 8-for-8 from the field. He snared nine rebounds as well, all the while matched up against Jarvis Varnado, the lone Heat roster player on the squad. Tyshawn Taylor led the Nets in scoring again, scoring 25 points in the contest. The Nets' offense clicked at a more agreeable pace in their second game. After mustering 67 points off of 34.3 percent shooting on Sunday, the Nets hit 48.3 percent of their shots, with 19 of their 28 field goals coming off an assist.

To the editor: Ron Rollo's letter concerning increase of insurance rates contained bad examples. Ron, living in Myrtle Beach S.C., has "no dog in this fight," and his voice and opinions should be moot.
Ron used teenage drivers as an example to justify increase. With young drivers the rate is decreased each year if driver has no claims, tickets or accidents until they reach a certain age, and then regular rates apply.
To the editor: In October, the Southport-Oak Island Area Chamber of Commerce hosted an informational meeting for its members concerning the N.C. International Port in Southport.
Chamber board of directors felt strongly its members should be given the opportunity to hear about the project from the N.C. State Port Authority. They agreed, and we had almost a full house at Surf Cinema to hear the information.
We would like to take this opportunity to thank those who helped with the program.
To the editor: On Sunday morning, the sound of "Beneath the Cross of Jesus" filled the church. I looked up at the large cross, high on the front wall of the church. Suddenly, I realized how true the words are.
We, as Christians, stand beneath the cross in our everyday lives. Little do we realize how this influences our every thought, action and channels our direction in life. The cross can only do for you what you invite it to do.
To the editor: Irony: incongruity between actual result and the expected result.
One-year anniversary:
Expected: To get things done.
Actual: Still have not communicated goals and objectives yet alone achieved any; committees after one year are just now establishing goals; previous BOC's achieved were: EOC, town hall, pavilion and roadwork to reduce flooding.
Expected: Doom and gloom.
Actual: No tax increase; fat budget: difference of additional $2.5 million or 20 percent ('08 vs. '09).
To the editor:
I have been a reader of The Brunswick Beacon for approximately 15 years. Over
the years, you have employed some rather questionable staff writers and a previous
editor with very hard-core, left-wing and hateful Northern views of almost every
subject from elections and politics, First and Second Amendment rights, Southern food,
our native Southern ways of life and just about any other subject one could think of.
One of your recent staff writers was so left and Northern in her views and hateful
As school started Jan. 9, so did the homework. As always, the first week of school would include a lot of introduction assignments. I usually do these assignments as fast as I can to get them completed.
This year, one of these assignments did a little more than help me get acquainted with my teacher and my classmates—it helped me get re-acquainted with myself.
I was absolutely shocked to see the article you wrote about Mr. Faircloth and his shooting of a beautiful bobcat in Brunswick County. Somehow I thought we had become more educated and tolerant of the beauty of the wildlife we share the land with.
Can it simply be ignorance that would cause someone to shoot a beautiful creature in its natural habitat for the sake of just shooting it? Can it be fair "sport" when a person armed with a rifle kills an innocent creature that has no chance against such things?
I bought a picture recently from Sheltered Treasures in Shallotte. In the frame was, "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me."
Behind this I found three pictures of a beautiful little girl with dark, curly hair. Now someone wants these back, I know.
Please call 200-7721 to find out where to pick up these pictures.

Brian Bawden, 63, was elected to Seat 7 of the Wauwatosa School Board on Tuesday.
According to unofficial results Tuesday:
Bawden received 2,167 votes, and his opponent, Michael Huitink, received 2,085.
Seat 7 was formerly held by Carmela Rios, who declined to run for re-election. Bawden is a former teacher in the Wauwatosa School District.
Bawden said in January he would no longer seek Seat 7 due to his father's diminishing health.
He could not immediately be reached for comment on his win.

Customer Reviews
- A good overview of projects and techniques. Review by Linda
This issue has quite a variety of techniques and interesting projects. Very informative with step-by-step instructions for the featured jewelry. The only thing I have a hard time with is all the ads. They take up at least 1/2 the magazine, at least it feels that way. But it is still a very good issue.

The deadline for official team nominations is 10 days before the tie begins.
Latvia and Austria will do battle to determine which nation can guarantee its place in Group I for 2015. The loser of this tie - the first time these nations have faced each other - will play either Sweden or Romania in a relegation play-off in October.
Slovak Republic have been responsible for the defeats of both of these nations in this year's competition in two hard-fought ties. Latvia lost 5-0 in a first round tie that was closer than the scoreline suggested, with Andis Juska going down 86 in the final set of his match with Martin Klizan. After receiving a bye through the first round, Austria suffered a 4-1 defeat but also ran the Slovak team very close, losing out in a fifth set in both the second and third rubbers.

Carbon footprints and humanity's relationship to climate change
@ July 8, 2012 12:10 PM in The AWESOME power of Mother Nature...Those who refuse to accept that human activity is the major contributor to this planet's rate and direction of climate change over the last centuries are burying their heads in the sand. Unfortunately, that camp has made the policy decisions which led to and perpetuate this problem.
Reducing one's carbon footprint is all well and good, but such efforts are swamped by earth's hugely increasing human population. Worse yet, places where the number of people is growing fastest are using dirty energy sources as well as adopting western energy-intensive consumption patterns.
I consider myself fortunate to be childless. I will retire to a northern location and spend my remaining years "benefiting" from milder winters. Those of you with children and grandchildren deserve sincere condolences. It's not going to be pretty. And was avoidable.
"The worst thing that ever happened to the natural gas industry was de-regulation..."
@ April 28, 2012 12:59 PM in The Propane industryTim, that's a correct statement, but applied much too narrowly. The worst thing that ever happened to this country was deregulation in its many forms.
Regulation seeks to place citizens' interests above corporate interests. Despite the most recent in a string of absurd Supreme Court decision (Citizens United), corporations are not people. They are legal constructs granted certain advantages by a government which used to require appropriate corporate behaviors in return. Unfortunately, for the last three decades, those requirements have been incrementally dismantled.
The people most affected by deregulation, average citizens, haven't a clue that they're complicit in its progression. Seeing only the immediate, short-term benefit of apparently lower prices, they embrace a brief ability to get "more" of whatever product/service. Many flock to big box stores and purchase imported absolute garbage for pennies. They can't grasp the decimation of domestic jobs that results from this unregulated, but unfair, trade. Until it impacts them.
Extremely significant deregulation took place with the Telecommunications Act of 1996. No longer were broadcasters required to serve the public interest. No longer was licensing based on proof of doing so. No longer were there reasonable limits on number of outlets in a market. No longer did "news" actually need to be real news. Now the corporate masters completely controlled what was electromagnetic spectrum owned by all US citizens, with no compensation to the public required. For the past sixteen years, oligarchs have made good use of their propaganda system.
A Boiler File made reference to "the current administration" and its record on public land drilling. Let's be clear -- both parties have been complicit in deregulating the industries that, thanks to now nonexistant campaign financing regulations, own them, especially oil and gas industries. That Telecommunications Act was signed by Clinton. However, neither party is willing to make appropriate decisions because a public spoiled by "more for less" would turn them out of office for doing so. icesailor asked ask who will buy Mr. 1%'er's products when everyone is working for miniscule wages. Executives of entities in the government-corporate complex will happily sell to wherever on the planet a market for those products exists; they don't care if customers are in the US or elsewhere. Identity and allegiance has transitioned from country to corporation. Indeed, they "own" this country, which is now of the multinational corporations, by the multinational corporations and for the multinational corporations.
The world's population greatly exceeds its carrying capacity. Humans haven't demonstrated intelligence superior to other species, failing to recognize this fact and not limiting our reproduction rate. Therefore, the only thing that can mitigate excessive energy consumption is higher commodity prices. Gasoline at $5 per gallon should have been implemented by taxing to that level at least fifteen years ago. Government, owned by big oil, obviously wouldn't go there. Now, with all our dollars pushing demand in China, the market has finally elevated it to more than $4 per gallon. Better late than never. Prices of other energy sources, while not yet tracking directly, will climb proportionally as soon as infrastructure is put into place that enables our NG to reach China et al.
Jean-David Beyer, denial and/or depression will not help you. My approach is to ignore the mess and concentrate on other things of interest to the maximum extent possible, while still remaining sufficiently engaged to cast informed ballots. The situation will eventually rectify itself, just as it did the last time we faced similar circumstances nearly 90 years ago. Citizens United, like Plessy v. Ferguson, will eventually be overturned. But perhaps not within my lifetime. :-)
OK, on the third point...
@ February 23, 2012 11:45 PM in Compressed natural gas for home heating?...I'm willing to yell "uncle." :-)
I don't think exchanging tanks is a viable approach. If cars can be made to function on CNG, your second concern seems surmountable. However, if the tanks need to be 12 times the size of comparable LNG tanks (is that volume or linear dimensions?), it's probably impractical.
How large...
@ February 23, 2012 10:53 AM in Compressed natural gas for home heating?...is a "very large tank?" There are many residential installations that bury 1 or 2 1,000-gallon LPG tanks. As long as one is digging holes anyway, if the fuel cost per BTU makes sense, it might not be out of the question to install even larger tanks for CNG. That's what I'm driving at.
I didn't confuse the two products.
@ February 22, 2012 11:47 PM in Compressed natural gas for home heating?While LNG has 2.4 times the energy density of CNG, LNG isn't practical for individual home heating applications. My question is whether there's any sign of a CNG market developing to supply individual residences. The economics might be getting to where it can compete with LPG.
No, I meant CNG,...
@ February 22, 2012 11:42 PM in Compressed natural gas for home heating?...certainly not LNG. The extremely low temperature storage requirements of LNG make no sense for individual home heating applications.
Compressed natural gas for home heating?
@ February 22, 2012 12:40 PM in Compressed natural gas for home heating?Conventional wisdom seems to be that compressed natural gas (CNG) is not used as a heating fuel because it's more expensive than propane. Given the trends in crude oil and natural gas prices of late, I wonder whether that situation is changing.
What insight can you informed Wallies shed on the possibility of CNG becoming available for home heating in areas of the country where natural gas utilities don't exist? It would appear to be win-win on multiple fronts, using some of the surplus, domestically produced natural gas as well as cutting oil imports for No. 2 and propane.
Thanks in advance for your comments.
Radiant ceiling cooling in the humid northeast?

Freewatt questions
@ January 4, 2012 1:00 PM in Freewatt questionsI posted this in the "Defective Generator" thread but, in case it gets lost there, decided to start a new dedicated thread so anyone with Freewatt experience will see it. The Freewatt hydronic package looks attractive. However, there are some aspects that bear further inquiry:
* What mod/con is it, which HX is used and how has overall reliability/performance been? How compatible is it with various pumping/control strategies?
* A "typical" engine run time is stated as 4,000 hours
per year. What time-between-overhaul has the single-cylinder Honda
engine been exhibiting? What's the overhaul cost when required?
* There doesn't seem to be a combustion air input pipe
for the Honda engine. That implies it runs off room air. If one must
degrade a home's thermal envelope to provide ambient air communication
with the outdoors for a basement / mechanical room, what's the point of
the sealed combustion mod/con or trying to squeeze out every bit of
efficiency using this system?
Interesting concept, but I wonder whether it's cost-effective when all
these factors are considered. Any Wallies have experience with Freewatt
and able to answer the questions? Thanks in advance.

Follow up question
@ November 23, 2011 8:02 PM in new residential generator - defective controlDoug, my follow up question to you probably got lost when I combined it with a reply to ERF above. Here is is again:
"Doug, please expand on your concern about the auto-exercise feature not including a load test. My understanding of the primary reason for auto-exercising is that it gets the engine running and oil circulating on a regular basis. Alternators don't typically deteriorate when mostly sitting idle and then 'going along for the ride' during short weekly exercise periods. Wouldn't an occasional full-emergency-load test be adequate confirmation that the alternator remains OK? This probably relates to my prime question: which brands/models have been exhibiting good reliability?
How about something like this?
@ November 23, 2011 1:24 PM in new residential generator - defective controlI've been searching the Internet and found this Onan LP model:
It's water cooled, runs at 1800 rpm and has a 4-pole alternator. Price and kw capacity are on the order of 2-1/2 times those of your Perkins diesel set.
Any Wallies know whether Onan products from this line have been reliable and whether their output is clean enough to avoid problems with electronic boiler controls?
Follow up questions
@ November 22, 2011 11:05 AM in new residential generator - defective controlERF, I appreciate your replies to my question. In my opinion, while a diesel unit might be "better" in certain respects, unless one also has a diesel vehicle, issues related to the fuel (storage, aging/deterioration) are substantial negatives. Also, in an extended electrical outage, sources of diesel fuel like service stations would likely be unable to pump from their storage tanks. The manufacturer's information doesn't say one can use #2 either. Most states haven't yet required 15ppm sulfer in #2, so it wouldn't be viable to hook the generator to one's #2 tank. If that were possible, your approach would be great when combined with an oil boiler when making the heat source choice in new construction.
Given all that and the number of homes heated using NG or propane, can anyone offer first-hand experience with which auto-exercising, auto-start, auto-transfer standby generators running on those fuels have been most reliable? Are there any residential models built to the same rugged standards as the Perkins diesel unit? Propane in particular, while more expensive per BTU than diesel, could be kept virtually forever in a large tank to power the generator. This is especially convenient if there are no NG lines available and one also uses propane for the boiler.
Doug, please expand on your concern about the auto-exercise feature not including a load test. My understanding of the primary reason for auto-exercising is that it gets the engine running and oil circulating on a regular basis. Alternators don't typically deteriorate when mostly sitting idle and then 'going along for the ride' during short weekly exercise periods. Wouldn't an occasional full-emergency-load test be adequate confirmation that the alternator remains OK? This probably relates to my prime question: which brands/models have been exhibiting good reliability?
So which one is acceptable?
@ November 21, 2011 1:07 PM in new residential generator - defective controlSince that Generac suffered poor reliability / teething problems, which make and model is better? The "good old days" of mechanical controls seem to be almost gone, whether discussing boilers or standby generators.
As with most devices and situations, one is usually looking for a "least bad" option. I'd appreciate hearing which auto-exercising, auto-starting, auto-transfer NG- and LP-powered standby residential generators have been working best for Wallies and their customers. Both in terms of generator reliability and compatibility with modern boiler controls. Thanks in advance.
Warmboard R as a ceiling installation
@ November 4, 2011 11:59 AM in Tricky radiant design requirements for a vacation homeMark, that's something I was wondering about recently. How do you mount it up there? Type/amount of insulation above? Attachment of drywall below? Water temperatures? Any other tips? Thanks!

Had my first one seven years ago...
@ May 18, 2011 2:26 PM in It is done...and due for a follow up this year.
The doctor, upon entering the room, spoke a phrase I'd been warned was his standard. "Sal, are you going to do this like a man?" Meaning, without sedative. I said: "Sure, but let me have my eyeglasses back; if I'm going to go through it that way I should at least be able to watch the monitor / enjoy the show."
And so I did. Fortunately, completely clean, and a fascinating journey the screen provided. :-) In addition to the camera, three other capabilities are provided by the probe; air injection, water injection and suction. The only thing approaching discomfort was a feeling of bloating when he injected air. That quickly subsided after suction deflated things each time.
I highly recommend that anyone comfortable with this approach take the opportunity to forego drugs. Safer and a more interesting experience.

From the Archives: The Naval Flight School
The Naval Flight School Collection was added to the Monmouth College Digital Collections and contains photographs and materials related to the US Naval Flight Preparatory School and the US Navy Academic Refresher Unit.
Student Karrah Kuykendall worked under the direction of Lynn Daw, Technical Services Librarian and Archivist, to complete her HIST 390 course preserving and digitizing the Naval Flight School Collection.
During WWII, Monmouth College served as one of seventeen institutions selected by the U.S. Navy as a Naval Flight Preparatory School. In 1944, the NFPS transitioned to a Naval Academic Refresher Unit. This collection reflects on the important role of MC in the war effort and is a unique glimpse into life on the Monmouth College campus during the war.
A large portion of the collection is the Wing Tips Newsletter, which was written by the cadets and features information on WWII, maintaining grades, and social events on Monmouth College's campus.

Hungarian GM Laszlo Szabo in 1981 wrote a book "100.000 moves in 50 years". That can be approx. 50-60 games a year, quite normal at that time.
Nowadays we can play far more, over the board and on internet. Tell me your age and the number of games you approx. played, against human beings, not against a computer. Try to give some details and : lets start at 20.000 games as minimum.
Pending the answers, we might refine the question, perhaps raise the minimum, and : whether you have a fulltime job or just not, lets make a nice series of posts !
About 200.
Well, I am 75 years old and have been playing since I I was five; but there were many years when I didn[t play at all. At 5 a year taht would be 350. Hmmm! 500.
only about 200 otb, around 10000 online, check my blitz ! :)
Blitz = 18,805 and counting
He was probably talking about tournament games only. People still played blitz, but it was at the club instead of online.
I'd guess about 30,000 for me over the last 10 years.
I teach Chess in Central New Jersey= See my Chess teaching portal
I've played probably + 100.000 since 2001 ,but most of them in blitz or bullet.
20,000 games x 40 moves average= 800,000 moves in 2 years.
i think near 20000 games

Before San Diego became Assemblywoman Toni Atkins home, before it incubated a political career that has Atkins on the verge of leading the California Assembly, the city was a setting for stories a Virginia coal miner told his daughters.
Listen closely when Atkins speaks, and you can hear the vestiges of an accent shaped by her childhood in rural southwestern Virginia. Her father, a lead and coal miner, would recount being stationed in a sleepy little town called San Diego during World War II, Atkins recalled.
California was then a distant prospect for Atkins, a daughter of working-class parents who grew up bathing in a tub, drawing water from a rain barrel and relieving herself in an outhouse. Health insurance was an unobtainable luxury.
I grew up in a house with no running water, Atkins said. My mother cooked on a wood stove, and that wasnt to get back to nature. It was where we lived.
She has come a long way since. Assembly Democrats announced on Wednesday that they would unanimously back Atkins, ending months of jockeying for the speakership. The selection ensures that the next speaker will be drawn from the existing leadership ranks Atkins has served as majority floor leader, helping the procedural machinery of the body run rather than from the huge class of freshman lawmakers.
Its continuity, and I think thats what everyone wanted, said first-term Assemblywoman Lorena Gonzalez, D-San Diego. Theres no question this will be a seamless transition.
That promised continuity does not please everyone. Tony Krvaric, chairman of the Republican Party of San Diego County, said Atkins will simply perpetuate Democratic dominance in Sacramento.
She fits right in, which is why shes risen through the ranks, Krvaric said. Shes not a taxpayer advocate.
But by most accounts, Atkins has not acquired the bluster in which some elected officials deal. In a world of outsized egos and blazing ambition, Atkins has built a reputation as a pragmatist.
Im all about solutions, Atkins said during an interview in her office. Im really about working with people to negotiate, compromise, put your concerns on the table and lets see how we can get there.
Not that people discount Atkins liberal credentials she is a major supporter of gay rights, of affordable housing and of reproductive health. Last session she carried a bill that expanded access to certain types of early abortions, cutting against a national trend of statehouses tightening abortion restrictions.
But those who have worked with Atkins during her rise through San Diego and Sacramento politics consistently describe a diligent worker with a knack for compromise and an affinity for delving into policy details.
Shes certainly an unabashed progressive Democrat, said Michael Zucchet, a former colleague on the San Diego City Council, but she always had a good relationship with the Republicans on the City Council, with the liberal Democrats and the more moderate Democrats. She was universally respected.
One of those Republican colleagues, Assemblyman Brian Maienschein of San Diego, served on the City Council alongside Atkins. While they sometimes differed, he still holds her in high esteem.
There were sometimes times we were on opposite sides of an issue, but it was very respectful, Maienschein said.
The decision to elevate Atkins was historic in a number of ways. In addition to being the first Assembly speaker from San Diego, Atkins will be the first openly gay woman in the post.
Atkins arrived in San Diego in 1985, moving across the country to be with her pregnant sister. She got her start in politics working for the City Council campaign of Christine Kehoe, an acquaintance from the LGBT community who became the first openly gay candidate to win a seat on the San Diego council.
Years later, after Kehoe had won a seat in Sacramento and Atkins had been elected to Kehoes former City Council post, San Diego Mayor Jerry Sanders delivered a tearful address reversing his previous opposition to same-sex marriage. The fact that Sanders, a Republican, has a lesbian daughter was a factor, but he said Atkins played a key role in changing his mind.
I have to give her a lot of credit, Sanders said in an interview. Shes the one who persuaded me that it was the right thing to do.
Before she signed on with Kehoe, Atkins first job in San Diego was as the manager of a womens health clinic, a decision Atkins said was prompted by a run-in with anti-abortion protesters. She eventually rose to become the clinics director of services.
Abortion advocates consider her a staunch ally. The bill Atkins pushed through last year, a Planned Parenthood-sponsored measure allowing more health professionals to perform abortions, continued similar legislative efforts on Kehoes part.
We had no doubt that we had picked the right author, said Kathy Kneer, president and CEO of Planned Parenthood Affiliates of California.
Housing development, with an eye to ensuring access to affordable housing, also occupied Atkins during her time in San Diego, a focus that she attributed in part to having grown up in substandard housing. She pushed to declare a citywide housing emergency and secured an inclusionary housing policy requiring new developments to include lower-priced units, pitting her against developers and builders who at other times had been allies.
It was a battle between her and the entire housing industry, said Sherman Harmer, a developer who has led the Building Industry Association of San Diego. He added that despite such clashes, Atkins remained very humble, very determined, very cooperative with the building industry.
Affordable housing again became a flashpoint for Atkins last year, when she carried a bill that would have stipulated that cities and counties have the right to institute inclusionary housing policies. Gov. Jerry Brown vetoed it, citing an ongoing court case and the risk of driving developers away. Predicting her next step, Atkins is cautious.
Im not intending to reintroduce a bill this year, Atkins said. I read (the governors) message and I dont intend to put my colleagues through this unless theres an opportunity that theres a resolution we get to.
Sharing Atkins interest in housing is her wife, Jennifer LeSar, who heads a development consulting organization. The two met through a womens investment group in 1995 and married in 2008, before voters prohibited same-sex marriage by passing Proposition 8. Atkins said she and LeSar have vetted any overlaps in their work through a city ethics commission.
We met because were both policy people, Atkins said. We are interested in the same issues. Conflict of interest? It has never been a conflict of interest.
Atkins years on the City Council were not without controversy. At one point, she became the citys third chief executive in a week. Mayor Dick Murphy stepped down amid questions about a massive pension deficit. Just three days later, Murphys replacement, Zucchet, resigned amid a corruption investigation (the charges against Zucchet were dismissed). The City Council made Atkins interim mayor until Sanders won election a few months later.
At the time, a huge pension shortfall had plunged the city into financial tumult, and the Securities and Exchange Commission wanted to know if elected officials had deceived people by failing to disclose the detrimental fiscal effects of previous pension changes.
Atkins was not among the five city officials ultimately charged. But she voted in 2002 for a plan that underfunded the system. She says now that she was misled by those recommending the changes.
I think you learn that you can have experts around you that have degrees in finance and auditing, but if youre an elected official it is your responsibility to make sure that every expert you have explains to you what you are doing and why, Atkins said.
Former San Diego City Attorney Michael Aguirre, who dogged Atkins in those years, argued that Atkins was in over her head, faced with a complex topic and pressured by those seeking to augment pension benefits. But he said she has grown from the experience.
I think in a way that will have strengthened her so she wont make that mistake again, Aguirre said. I think she came through it and so was a better person because of it. She has been and will be grappling with the same issues statewide.
More than a decade after the fateful vote, Atkins is not known for coming to policy debates unprepared. If anything, her reputation is the opposite.
When she tells you something, she has the documentation. Shes done the research, said Jerry Butkiewicz, who led the San Diego-Imperial Counties Labor Council for over a decade. So its tough to argue with her because she doesnt blow smoke. She tells it how it is.

Set a timer. Write as much as you can in 15 seconds. Nonsense sentences, overheard conversations, it doesn't matter. Go off with thunder and lighting for just 15 seconds. Set a goal, like filling an entire page or race against yourself for word number count.
Chances are, you'll want to keep writing longer than that once you've found something that strikes your interest. (Hope you appreciate the bonus pun.)

I wanted to surprise my wife so I decided that for the first time I go shopping online. She wanted a new sofa so badly that I ordered one for her. I do not know what is fancy or beautiful as all I care about a piece to be comfortable and practical, but I know her taste and knew she will adore this sofa; and she did. It is indeed really comfortable and elegant, all on an affordable price.
I absolutely love, love, love this couch! The white color is crisp (not off white or cream) My only complain was that my husband had a hard time installing one of the legs because the pieces of wood where they're suppose to sit on were uneven. Adding an extra piece of wood fixed that, however, my hubby had to drive to Menard's to buy a longer screw. Other then that, the quality is excellent, I have top grain leather recliner (got to keep the hubby happy) right next to it, and they look great together.
nice couch, packaged well. no missing pieces. shipping was in the timeframe they said.... took us about three weeks.
Just got my sectional delivered. It is very nice, soft and substantial. The design is modern. It's clean with simple lines. It is not a stark white, but more of a soft, colonial white. Seating is deep and firm. For such a large item to purchase online, without having the chance to try it out, I am very pleased. However, the chaise piece was damaged with two tiny pin-sized puncture holes which we all know will tear quickly in short time, and the stitching was loose and loop-like in one area. I wish there was a more thorough inspection of large items so as to avoid problems such as these. I am waiting to hear back from Overstock and looking to replace just the chaise. The rest of the sectional really is lovely. Yes they are not attached, but the legs have a grip type base and so far nothing is separating, however, I do have it in a corner against walls which do contain it. If it were free standing, it could be a different situation. I am going to purchase a temporary cover that works like a blanket to take extra care of this one. As my last sectional (purchased elsewhere) was also bonded leather and flaked everywhere within 3 years of owning it.
I ordered this sectional and had some issues, but Overstock excellent customer care resolved the problem quickly. I've ordered many times from Overstock, but this is the first time I ordered a big time. I was nervous about ordering this sofa without seeing it. But how great they handled my issue, I will recommend to everyone to order from Overstock furniture. Actually, I just ordered a regular white leather sofa.
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS SOFA!!! It took about 3 weeks to arrive, so worth the wait!! No damage, it was well wrapped. Fits perfectly in my small living room. Not a small sofa though, can sit up to probably 5 people including the chaise. Very soft and comfortable, and modern! A MUST BUY!!
I was very surprised how quickly this sofa arrived and the men who very kindly moved it upstairs to the TV room. I was wondering how it would look since the price was so low but I was so pleased! Everyone who goes into the room is astounded. Very nice and we are thrilled.
Love it looking for ottoman to match to finish th look.
Everyone who comes in my living room comments on how beautiful the couch is. My only suggestion is the manufacturer have a way to strap the couch and lounge together although I have not yet had trouble with it separating when lying down on it. It does need some back support pillows if you are short like me but I found some that look great. It arrived without a nick or mark or smudge ...in perfect condition. This couch/lounge really is a great buy and I have no regrets about the purchase.
I really needed a refreshment in the living as all was too dark and too boring. This is how I came to Overstock after I was advised by my best friend. The multitude of products and all te unique pieces was dizzy and it was hard to choose one sofa. Finally i needed up with this amazing white sofa. It is beautiful, fresh and elegant, while being high quality and extremely comfortable. Finally I found my favorite shopping place.

This route was originally named "The Fuck-up," partially after the book by Arthur Nessarian, as, coming down off the anchors, I'd inadvertently bolted the blank-ass line to the right instead of this, a more obvious line up a weakness/water streak. Captain Confusion is a nice way of saying I effed up. Either way, this is a great route.

Alex Goldmark is a senior producer in the newsroom for New Tech City and Transportation Nation.
The number of oil and gas drilling sites is rapidly growing with the proliferation of hydraulic fracturing, commonly called fracking. Each new well brings new fears to neighbors who After a rise in breast cancer rates in one area attracted national attention in Texas, the state will now investigate the potential health effects of living near drilling sites.
The investigative reporting unit StateImpact, says previous limited studies have found no health risks in Texas, though studies in Utah and Colorado have pinned ill-health and smog on drilling. Dave Fehling spoke with Texas officials about the potential study.
