The July-August issue looks at partisanship in legislatures, renovating capitols, pay for lawmakers, the challenging job of chief of staff, the costs of legislation and much more.
Current Issue
Four states--Louisiana, Mississippi, New Jersey and Virginia--and three Senates--Kansas, New Mexico and South Carolina--do not have legislative elections in 2010. The Nebraska legislature is unicameral and nonpartisan. Live 2010 post-election results are based on unofficial results pending certification by their respective election officials.
Election Results
Prior to the Election
This map shows the control of governors' offices before the Nov. 2, 2010, election. Democrats have the edge going into the election in the tally of governors—26-23—with one Independent. There are a record 37 races for governor this year. Because of term limits, retirements and primary defeats, there are 24 states guaranteed to have a new governor in January 2011. In addition, North Dakota Governor John Hoeven is running for an open U.S. Senate seat that he is heavily favored to win, which will force him to resign as governor. That will bring the number of guaranteed new governors to 25 in 2011. If just two of the 13 incumbent governors seeking re-election fail to win, that will tie the record for most rookie governors set in 1920 at 27.

CFS workshops empower women to make confident decisions in bushfire emergencies
Women living on the land participate in CFS Bush Fire Workshops and gain confidence making tough decisions
- Print page

- Permalink
Should I stay? Should I go? How do I use this pump?
There are no 'silly questions' as hundreds of women living in rural South Australia gain confidence in bush fire safety at CFS women only workshops.
The Country Fire Service has received funding to run the course after a successful pilot program offered on Eyre Peninsula in 2008.
Vicki Hann is the Community Education Officer with the South Australian Country Fire Service and believes these workshops are very important to women living on the land.
"We realised that there really was a need for women to know bush fire behaviour and to know how to operate pumps and wood stock," she said.
The course helps women become confident decision makers, so they can be certain if they are going to stay and defend their property or if they are going to leave early.
"It's not about being a hero; it's understanding that if you're not physically or emotionally prepared to go through a bushfire situation, to leave early," she said.
The workshops have received very positive feedback from the women who have participated in the two day course.
"The groups of ladies that we've had in Mount Gambier and Keith have just been exceptionally wonderful women with such life stories.
"They come from different backgrounds, some have experienced fires and some haven't experienced fires," she said.
Whether these women are new to the land or have been living in the country for years, they have all been empowered by learning how they can be better prepared.
"To watch somebody go from not having a great understanding, to going, 'now I know what you're talking about' is rewarding," she said.
The two day course covers topics from emotional awareness to understanding fire danger ratings.
"The first [day] was more about understanding it [danger warnings] and the second is more about what you would do on the day if you were in that house and there was a fire coming," she said.
Women of all ages can attend the workshops.
"There's varying ages from young mums to older ladies to middle aged ladies, it's really across the spectrum," she said.
Vicki finds teaching women about fire safety very satisfying.
"To be a part of these ladies sharing their experiences, to me it's quite empowering and humbling," she said.
The next workshop will be held in Keith on the 21st of April and in Mount Gambier on the 22nd of April.

Estonian central bank Eesti Pank says in its new labour market overview that employees should calm down their over-optimistic wage claims.
Referring to the recent strikes where trade unions demanded higher wages, Eesti Pank economist Natalja Viilmann said that the current economic environemnt was too uncertain to allow excessive wage claims.
She said it could increase inflationary pressure and threaten the economic balance.
The central bank's latest Labour Market Review reveals that employment soared in comparison with the recent past and also with other European countries.
The labour participation rate posted a record and unemployment declined notably. At the same time, the share of the long-term unemployed among the unemployed increased, making up about 60 percent by the end of 2011.
The inhibition in economic growth at the end of 2011 may increase the share of the long-term unemployed even more in the future.
Being unemployed for a long time reduces the likelihood of finding a job and increases the risk of such people losing hope of ever becoming employed again. Thus, the main task of labour market policy is to increase the competitiveness of the long-term unemployed.
Along with the recovery of employment, average wage growth accelerated in 2011. It started in the private sector, where it was also faster. Labour productivity soared when the economy started to recover, but its growth rate has been declining ever since. Productivity even dropped in the last quarter of 2011 due to the deceleration in economic growth. Should it slow in the coming quarters as well, wage growth is likely to exceed labour productivity growth again. This may pressure companies to either increase the price of their products or to reduce wage costs by decreasing the number of their employees.

Man, dog hurt in Londonderry crash
Londonderry police say two Good Samaritans helped free a man trapped in his burning vehicle Saturday morning. (Londonderry police)
The man had to be airlifted to a Boston hospital, and his dog was taken to a Manchester veterinarian for treatment of injuries suffered in the crash, police said.
According to a press release, police were called to the area of 393 Mammoth Road for a motor vehicle crash at 6:18 a.m. and found a vehicle on fire with the driver trapped inside. A Londonderry man, identified as Earl Wickline, was using a fire extinguisher he had gotten from a local resident to try to put out the flames.
Police Sgt. Patrick Cheetham and Officers Jake King and Adam Lane helped Wickline and another Good Samaritan, Apryl Norris of Londonderry, free the driver from the vehicle, according to the release.
Londonderry fire department personnel helped transport the injured man to the parking lot of St. Jude Church on Mammoth Road, where he was taken by Boston Med-Flight to Brigham and Women's Hospital.
His condition is not known and police are not releasing his name until his family is notified.
Police said an initial investigation indicates the man was driving southbound on Mammoth Road when the vehicle veered off the northbound shoulder and into a tree. Police noted the roadway did have a layer of snow at the time but it was unknown if that contributed to the crash.

2 Ecommerce question and problem
2 August 2008 at 1:53am
Hi there,
I am still very new with SS. I downloaded the current ecommerce version and installed it. When I go to the report tab in the administration, I get 2 error trying to do 2 different things:
1. When I click on Product popularity I get a red "error loading page" at the bottom left corner
2. When I click on unprinted order --> invoice (from a fake purchaser) I got this error:
FATAL ERROR: None of these templates can be found: OrderInformation_Invoice.ss
At line 74 in /home/httpd/html/ss/sapphire/core/SSViewer.php
Could someone tell me what the error means and if possible provide me with some steps to debug the problem. Thanks

I am the developer currently working on the next version of the Ecommerce module and as you'll see here, some other users have noticed some errors concerning the Reports section of the Ecommerce.
This section is gonna be totally changed and cleaned for the next release.

General Contemporary Romance, Contemporary Romance
"I want to work for you," he said, honey over gravel in his voice. "I won't take a dime until your resort is profitable. How does that sound?"
Very, very slowly she managed to turn in his arms, brushing his body as she did, painfully aware of every masculine inch, every hard bump, every relentless angle, but forcing herself not to let the glorious sensation cloud her brain. He wasn't asking for sex, duh. He was asking to work on spec, for the experience.
"It sounds tempting." Like everything else about him. "But I need you to be perfectly straight with me. Why would you do that?"
"I need this project in order to prove to the arch board that I can sit for the exams," he explained. "So it's a win-win for everyone."
"Why couldn't you just take the exams? How can they stop you?"
He stabbed his fingers in his hair, hesitating as he considered his reply. "I need one significant project under my belt," he said slowly. "I left my dad's firm before I got it. After seeing this place and what could be done here, I know that this is the project I not only want to do, but I'd love to do. Enough that I'd do it for free. And that solves some of your money problems."
Some, not all. "It also makes me wonder if I'm getting a good enough architect."
"Fair enough. You can fire me at any time and keep all the work I've done to date. I need the project and you need a partner who can give life to your vision."
She gave him a slow smile. "Except sometime in the last ten minutes, it became your vision," she said instead.
"It could be our vision, Lacey."
"It could be," she agreed. She did want a partner. She did want a vision. She did want something as big and bold as he described, especially if she didn't have to attack that challenge alone.
"I guess it's possible."
"Anything is possible, Strawberry."
Right then, with this man holding her in the sunshine, giving her strength and ideas and throwing reason and excuses out to sea, she actually believed that.

Steuben House Rental Photos and Description
House, 2 Bedrooms, 1 Bath, (Sleeps 4)
Ruby house sits on an old downeast coastal farmstead at the head of Pigeon Hill Bay. The house overlooks the salt marsh and inlets of the bay as well as Pigeon Hill, on the scenic Petit Manan peninsula. The home's large farmers porch provides a comfortable viewing spot, rain or shine. Be on the lookout for eagles, osprey, fox and deer. Beautiful flower gardens surrounding the house are a delight of colors and scents. Beyond the gardens and the old barn, green pastures filled with wildflowers and old apple trees attract deer and other wildlife, even moose, particularly early in the morning and around dusk.
Inside, the home's open-concept first floor is warm and welcoming as it surrounds a beautiful beachstone chimney. The kitchen, dining and living areas have plenty of places to relax. The deck off the sunroom is a great place to have a cocktail and watch the sunset over the fields and see nature at its best.
The large first-floor bathroom includes an antique claw-foot tub and pedestal sink and unique cedar and copper shower. Two bedroom areas on the second floor, in the turret a queen size bed and offers peaceful views across the marsh and meadow, the second bedroom has 2 twin beds and a sitting area with book shelf and large closet. A 3/4 wall and stone chimney divides the two rooms ( open concept means no doors on rooms) but still private.
Ruby House is a convenient place to launch day trips throughout the downeast area, whether by bike, boat or car. The location is peaceful, but not remote, and is only a few minutes drive from RT 1.
Ruby House is ideal for families who want to be near, but not directly on the water. You can smell the salt air, hear the lobster boats in the distance, and be on the open water in a kayak in less than 5 minutes. You may not want to leave but if you do.
Take a left at the bottom of the dirveway and walk to Bar Island. At the end you'll get a stunning view of Bois Bubert Island and the open Atlantic. There are several places to launch a kayak or small boats along the road, or you can buy a few lobsters or crabmeat for dinner at Door Lobster Company. Puffin tours and whale watching trips are available in Milbridge, (brochures will be available at the house) or stay on dry land and visit Petit Manan Bird Sanctuary just a few miles down Pigeon Hill road. Activities include, hiking paths to the shore, picking wild blueberries, bird watching, biking the dirt roads, and just enjoying the quietness and beauty of Maine.
Easy kayak portage is minutes from the house or take a picnic and drive to some local lakes including Tunk and Spring River and enjoy swimming and boating. McCellan Park in Milbridge is a beautiful spot to take in the wild ocean tides(try to go at mid tide if you can to get best results. Don't miss the Extreme Makeover Home on Wyman Road.
Drive up the coast 60 miles to Campobello Island, Canada and enjoy the gardens and home of Franklin Rossevelt. Along the way visit famous Quoddy Head Lighthouse.
Barlett Estate Winery, a few miles south of Steuben has wine tastings and tours and you can purchase their wine on site. Call for schedule. Schoodic Point (part of Acadia National Park) in Winter Harbor is a wonderful place to watch the ocean crash onto the rocky shore. Nice shops & places to eat.
Keywords: custom build home surronded by fields, beautiful view of marsh, bay, and Pigeon Hill, 1 mile from ocean
- Suitability:
- pets not allowed
- non smoking only
- children welcome
- Minimum Age Limit for Renters
- Long-term Renters Welcome
- limited accessibility
The Ruby House was a farm, raising sheep, chickens, pigs for 13 years. Lots of love, happiness baby lambs being born, warm cozy winters by the wood stove, wonderful memories live within the walls of this house and land.
I enjoy watching the birds, wildlife and feeling of being close to the ocean, also the sense of community, knowing your neighbors and just enjoy the beauty of rural living, the smell of the salt air as the fog comes up the bay to name a few.

Why Dallas Is No Longer 'The Butt of Everyone's F*cking Joke' Why Dallas Is No Longer 'The Butt of Everyone's F*cking Joke'
Why Dallas Is No Longer 'The Butt of Everyone's F*cking Joke'
The other day I saw a poster on a friend's Facebook that said "Welcome to Austin. Please don't move here. I hear Dallas is great!" The accompanying description read: "My city is the butt of everyone's f*cking joke."
That sentiment really gets at the root of how people view Dallas. It's not an Austin or Portland or Seattle. It doesn't have that flavor and urban lifestyle where you can walk, bike, and ride public transportation easily, where there's a diverse city life and robust population density. Interestingly, all three of the aforementioned cities lay claim to the "Keep [your city] Weird" slogan.
When it comes to urbanism, Dallas is suited for cars, not people. The formation of the Dallas Auto Club in 1904 led to the demise of the street car in 1956 and the rise of toll roads and major highways. Automotive transportation has driven our growth and promoted an urban sprawl lifestyle where proximity is measured in gallons of gasoline rather than strides in tennis shoes. It's no wonder people leave Dallas and go to the "weird" cities. At least they did before.
I'm reminded of another friend's Facebook status which read, "Want to be a part of something? Try going somewhere where you can create something, not just move to it. Be an agent for change; less a beneficiary of change." He was talking about the people who've stayed in Dallas, and are creating the city we want here. There's been a shift.
In 2010, Dallas based organization, Team Better Block, started doing pop-up streetscaping projects to demonstrate how to change the character of the street. Typically they'd plan a "Better Block" on a weekend, re-configure a street by putting up homemade planters, tables and chairs, and other placemaking elements to create a street where the pedestrians were the priority, they'd invite everyone out to enjoy it. This Do-It-Yourself type of urbanism caught the attention of city officials and started resonating with Dallas communities proving you don't have to wait for a multi-million dollar project to change the infrastructure of the street. All you need is an idea and a permit.
In August of 2011, I moved back to Dallas, right as the DIY urbanism movement was taking shape here. I had just graduated from the University of Michigan with a Master's in Urban Planning and started an internship at the City of Dallas, January 2012. I volunteered to work on a project called Living Plaza, initiated by Team Better Block and some folks at City Hall, to activate the dead City Hall plaza. Amanda Popken—now my nonprofit business partner—was one of the folks who I started collaborating with on programming of the plaza.
Typically for a "Living Plaza," held every month during lunchtime, we'd invite food trucks, bring out tables and chairs and invite musicians and performers to join us. The plaza went from a dead concrete jungle to an active people-place where city-hallers could break away from the monotony of their cubicles.
But the second season of Living Plaza was not welcomed with open arms. Having seen the toll that it took on the organizers the year before, the offices that Amanda and I worked for thought of it as a gloried office-picnic and prohibited us from spending too much "real" work time on it. So we started meeting up after hours and meeting during lunch where we'd plan and envision a better City Hall plaza.
Every month we were faced with the same problem, 30-days to permit, arrange food trucks, performers, make fliers, promote, coordinate tables and chairs, moveable plants, security, and lots of odd and ends. These quick, light, fast bursts of programming at such a high-octane pace became our model for activating public spaces. What mattered was the task at hand, not the politics or bureaucracy that usually accompanies city hall decision making. We just did!
By organizing the Living Plaza events, we had learned more about the city, had creative freedom, and were having more fun than all the manager-directed projects we were tasked to do at City Hall. These events created meaning and provided us with ownership of city. We were utilizing our skills and talents as urban planners and we felt like we were contributing. But, it had become clear that our passion for this project wasn't understood and the nurturing that we needed was going to be more of a struggle than support. We created a friends group for public spaces called Friends of Living Plaza and we launched the nonprofit Revolutionary Pants, which will expand our efforts.
Buckminster Fuller said, "You never change things by fighting the existing reality. To change something, build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete."
We've now hosted 11 placemaking events and participated in 3 community events all over the city. We're taking what we learned from creating these lightning-fast projects, knowledge about how to navigate the permitting systems, understanding the philosophy of City Hall and the barriers that go with it, finding the urban policies that don't make sense and poking sticks at them, and we're open sourcing everything. We want people to know how to take control of the city processes.
Our model focuses on Do-ing, supporting, highlighting and promoting others who are also Do-ing and collaborating with people making the city better in order to build a consciousness about DIY urbanism that strengthens community and inspires people to take ownership of our city. With this knowledge, we're planning a Neighborday event on April 27 to celebrate the city and its creatives.
Urbanism in Dallas is now being defined by our citizens. There's a whole slew of us that have lived in the "weird" cities, around the world, we have seen what Dallas is missing, and we're creating it here. We know how the city works and we're not afraid to break some rules to promote a better quality of life. In the past couple of years, we've seen citizens advocate and lead the charge for the addition of bike lanes, to bring back the trolley, the addition of new outdoor markets, and we keep finding more and more people who are practicing DIY urbanism, and pushing the envelope forward to create change.
We're proud of our city and what we're creating here! And we're looking forward to our Neighborday celebration to showcase that spirit. Our poster reads: "Welcome to Dallas, please stay here, it's great!" we hope you'll think so too.
Patrick McDonnell is the Creative Director of Revolutionary Pants, a nonprofit dedicated to creating communities and reimagining the human habitat in Dallas, Texas.

Seriously, they just had me melting. The 6 year old one was just utterly adorable, the 17 year old one was such a lovely example of a guy doing the right thing. And I dread to think what's going to happen to poor Varen after this little lot. Poor thing.
And since I'm here, have another snippet. Wrote this as backstory for another pbp character I'm creating.
Rosalind Armstrong
SpoilerMy head. My head aches. There was something something important, something I needed to do. Something I should remember. Something...
Mmmmpphghggfhh... Was that my voice? Perhaps?
Mmmmarrh? It appeared it was my voice. What next? The room? Location. Location was everything. Where am I?
Get up. Get up R- R-- Ros? Rose? Oh dear. Worry later. Get up now. Get up.
A room. Messy. Very messy. Derrrr.... Derr --- ick... would not approve. I dont have mess. De- someone doesnt approve.
I cant see. What? In my eyes? I wipe them with the back of my hand. Liquid. Deep, dark red. The colour of that dress. That one that they like me in. Its pretty, glossy and red. It almost sparkles. Smells funny though.
I think I should tidy up. My hands push up. My head spins. The liquid on my hands and face is on the floor in front of me. My hands slip and I fall face first to the floor. My head spins. I should look up.
A person? A man. On his side, away from me. Maybe he knows why my head aches. I reach out and shake him. My hands wobble, but I can catch his shirt. He falls on to his back. His head falls to the side and eyes stare at me. Dark eyes. Blue eyes. Covered in in... blood.
I remember. I remember all of it. I am Rosalind Armstrong. Rosie to my friends. Rosie to my- my husband. Derrick. Derrick who lies dead before me. The red liquid on my hands and face is blood. My blood.
I remember everything.
Derrick screaming at me to take the artefact and run. Derrick running to bar the door to the parlour. A black form slamming the door before he could reach it, sending Derrick flying into the wall. Myself, terrified, running for the tiny derringer hidden in the desk drawer. The explosive force of wood chips flying into my face. I had turned, and the black figure lowered a gun. Lowered it just long enough for Derrick to slam into them from the side. He yelled again for me to run. I wouldnt. I couldnt. I scrambled for the derringer among the ruins of the drawer. I couldnt find it. Derrick grunted. No time to find the gun. I went for the chair instead. Smashed it over the back of the dark figure. They fell and Derrick scrambled to one side. Shoved the artefact into my hands, and pushed me towards the door. The dark figure stood. Derrick pushed me behind him. A gun went off. Derrick fell. I screamed. And then I ran.
I thought I had run. My current situation suggested otherwise. I raised a shaking hand to my face. Found torn and tattered skin. A bullet graze. But I wasnt dead. I must have made a convincing corpse though, for the dark figure was gone. Gone. Gone...
The artefact!
Staggering to my feet, I searched. I looked everywhere. I did not touch Derrick.
It was gone.
I fell hard against the desk, my head throbbing. My hands found the wall behind me, and I slid down to the floor. My fingers left slimy red stains on the wall. Blood. And what was that, underneath my hand? I curled fingers around the cool metal and turned my hand over. The derringer. The thrice-damned derringer.
Tears. Tears both hot and cold. I screamed, ignoring the pain stabbing through my mind. My head. My my stomach? I felt abruptly cold. The sick feeling in my stomach, whenever the supernatural was nearby. I hadnt noticed till now. Had I condemned my husband to death? Had I killed him by my inattention?
The hand holding the derringer slammed into the floor. Followed by the other hand. Paper rustled. Dully, I picked it up and turned it over. It was that letter. The one from that group in New Orleans. Requesting the presence of my husband. Derrick... oh Derrick...
He had refused the request. For my sake he said. Few knew that his success as an archaeologist, his success in investigating the supernatural came largely from me. From my abilities to sense and manipulate the supernatural. He had decided the risk was not worth it. Not worth it. Not worth my life, he had said. Surely if they knew his success came from a woman, through a woman. Our world was not enlightened enough, he had said. Better for me to remain hidden. He had done it to save me. And I had killed him.
Tears. Tears both hot and cold. They ran down my face and mixed with blood still flowing from my temple. As I stared at the floor, they dropped from my cheeks. I wept blood. As the Lord had in the Garden of Gethsemane. Why, God? Why?
As I sat there, I made my decision. Derrick and I had been happy. I would never be happy without him. I would join this group in New Orleans, and if they had a problem with my being a woman. They would not have it for long.
I would use this group to help me find the artefact and the dark figure. And I would keep the derringer with me always. I would not be unprepared again.
And I would weep blood, even as the Lord Jesus; until I was reunited with my Derrick.

U.S. International Broadcasting Reaching Record Audience, Assessing Impact Questioned
WASHINGTON --- Voice of America and other American international broadcasters now reach 187 million people every week, an increase of 22 million from 2010 and an all-time record number of listeners and viewers, according to data released yesterday. That increase was a complete surprise, according to Bruce Sherman, Director of the Office of Strategic Planning and Performance Measurement of the United States Broadcasting Board of Governors (BBG).
Just last month, BBG released a new Strategic Plan that had as its "performance goal," an increase of 50 million people in worldwide audience by 2016. Now, just a few weeks after announcing that goal, BBG is already almost half-way there. Sherman said they did not have access to the 2011 audience data when the goal was set.
Sherman also came under repeated questions at a forum today in Washington about the impact of BBG broadcasts, and one question asked repeatedly was whether the BBG's metrics on impact - "moving the needle" - go beyond total numbers of listeners and viewers.
"Impact cannot be reduced to audience," Sherman replied, "but you cannot have impact without audience." He added that you need to look at specific audiences – not just traditional elites, but young people and women.
"The biggest success on the planet" is how Sherman described U.S. broadcasting in Afghanistan, where 2011 data show three-quarters of the entire country watches or listens to American broadcasts. Additionally, 400,000 Afghans subscribe to BBG text messaging services.
Beyond audience growth, another goal of the Strategic Plan is for VOA and other U.S. broadcasters to embrace user content and use material created by listeners and viewers. The "value added" by U.S. international broadcasting, according to Sherman, would be checking and verifying the accuracy of material submitted by the audience.
One questioner at today's forum, held by the Public Diplomacy Council, said he could not find the phrase "public diplomacy" anywhere in the Strategic Plan. Sherman acknowledged that was correct, and he said that was for a reason: Objective journalists by and large, he said, don't subscribe to the idea that they are changing people's attitudes.
"Attitudinal and behavioral change" is the hope, but not a direct goal, explained Sherman. "We don't do the advocacy piece. Good things will come from good journalism."
If public diplomacy cannot be found in the new plan, BBG Chairman Walter Isaacson, in his remarks when the Strategic Plan was released, placed international broadcasting at the center of national security.
"Our media outlets – Voice of America, Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty, Alhurra TV and Radio Sawa, Radio Free Asia, and Radio and TV Marti – are vital, cost-effective national security asset," said Isaacson, "whose impact is felt by some 166 million people weekly across the globe where critical U.S. interests are at stake."

If that's what is predicted for 2025, how populated will our world be by 2050? Scary to think about.
Seth Dixon's curator insight, January 16, 2013 12:28 PM
Through this interactive mapping feature with rich call-out boxes, the reader can explore the latest UN estimates and forecasts on the growth of megacities (urban areas with over 10 million residents). These 'cities on steroids' have been growing tremendously since the 1950s and present a unique set of geographic challenges and opportunities for their residents.

I love maps, but it's easy to forget that reproducing a three-dimensional object on a two-dimensional surface involves many trade-offs. This article highlights those trade-offs.

We previously covered Secret Agent Clank after a pair of encounters with the game at last year's Tokyo Game Show and, more recently, this year's Game Developers Conference. Now that we've got our hands on a preview build, we can add to that coverage with some updated impressions of the first three levels from Clank's solo debut. In this preview, we'll start with the introductory level, which adds some crafty espionage work to the series' trademark jump-and-blast formula.
The beginning of Secret Agent Clank lays out the story that will guide the events of the rest of the game. We see Clank sneaking about on the roof of Boltaire Museum, an artificial history museum dedicated to all things robot. He demonstrates some of his newfound spy skills by using a fancy gizmo to silently cut a hole in the glass ceiling. Before he can lower himself in, Clank sees what appears to be Ratchet being whisked away by guards as an alarm blares obnoxiously.
A short while later, we're shown a news broadcast running footage of Ratchet proclaiming his surprising lack of remorse, followed by an anchor wondering how a galactic hero could fall so low. Clank is unsure if it's an impostor or not, but a quick retinal scan proves it's the real Ratchet who's been arrested. If that is the real Ratchet, what could possibly compel him to turn toward a life of crime?
Thus begins Secret Agent Clank. The first level has Clank trying to break in to Boltaire Museum to investigate this suspicious crime. He begins outside, attempting to dodge spotlights as he makes his way closer to the building. Should he be seen, a pack of robotic dogs will come running after him. Clank doesn't have much of a problem with the dogs; though he doesn't have any weapons from the get-go, his punch is powerful enough to take out these attack hounds without much worry.
Clank soon makes his way into the museum, where he has to deal with towering guards. Though massive in size, they're slow movers and don't see anything beyond their limited flashlight range. Clank can take them on directly, but the game awards you extra nanotech points for every section you pass through without attracting attention. One of the ways you can lay low is by hopping on a pedestal and pretending to be a statue when a guard walks by. It's almost required to take the sneaky approach at first, but it becomes easier to cause mayhem when Clank discovers his first weapon in a conveniently placed agency drop box--the tie-a-rang. These razor-sharp projectiles are as easy to throw as letting the game auto-target an enemy for you and hitting the circle button to release.
Shortly after picking up his first weapon, Clank finds a blackout pen, which shoots a pile of goo onto alarm lasers. This helps Clank sneak around more effectively. Another means of keeping quiet is the ability to execute a stealth takedown on the museum guards. This is done by running up behind them, hitting square, and correctly mimicking a quick four-button sequence. These little quick-time events act as an appetizer for the final chapter of the Boltaire Museum level, which is the rhythm minigame where Clank has to break-dance his way through a dense web of lasers. While most rhythm minigames tend to feel out of place, this one works surprisingly well when you see the timing required for Clank to pass through these beams of light.
These QTEs and minigames help add variety to a game that uses fairly simple controls. The trickiest part of the button configuration is getting used to adjusting the camera with the L and R buttons. We ran into occasional snags while trying to fight in a corner, but most of the time the controls felt easy and well suited to the variety of gameplay.
Visually, you've still got the look of a Ratchet and Clank game thanks to some nice, sharp visuals that never slow down even when the screen is littered with enemies and the dozens of bolts they scatter upon dying. There's also plenty of the series' familiar humor, like the clever dialogue in the cutscenes and amusing descriptions viewable on every museum plaque. The whole formula adds up to a game worth looking forward to. Next we'll bring you our impressions of the second and third levels from Secret Agent Clank. Stay tuned for those.

Album: Trust Me
Avg Rating: 2.7 ( 15 total votes )
U.K. R&B singer Craig David offers up another tasty treat with 6 of 1, the second sampling from his November-release, Trust Me. Following the David Bowie-sampling Hot Stuff, the sing-along party joints keep coming with 6 of 1, a slick dance floor number that can also work as easily under a pair of Bose headphones. Recording various vocal tracks of himself and laying them on top of one another, David continues to harmonize with the best duet partner he can find: himself.

Llangwm gain narrow derby win
11:02am Tuesday 6th May 2014 in Sport
Hook (147 all out) lost to Llangwm (150 all out)
LLANGWM grabbed two wickets in the closing stages to give them a narrow win at neighbours Hook, despite having nine players unable to take part.
New captain Joe Kiff marked his first match at the helm with a good all round performance, starting with 31 runs alongside Will Beresford (23), Alistair Platten (24) and Chris Thomas (40) as Llangwm reached 150 all out despite useful bowling by Jamie Phelps (4 for 31), Tom Blaxland (3 for 14) and Matthew Holder (2 for 37).
Steady knocks from Jake Wicks (39), Phelps (17), Blaxland (29), Will Goronwy (15) and Matthew Rowlands kept Hook hopes alive against Alistair Platten (2 for 47), Joe Kiff (4 for49) Phil Llewellyn (1 for 22) and James Venables (3 for 27) who finished strongly to help Llangwm to a nerve-jangling win.
Umpires: Denis Chiffi and John Austin.
Scorers: Joy James and Sam Rossiter.

After years of searching, I have found a record of Hiram Putney's parents. Hiram was born around 1819 in New York, possibly in western New York, or possibly in Washington County, NY. On his marriage license to Lydia Briggs, he reports his parents as being Jno. (John) Putney and Lucretia Putney. His marriage to Lydia was his second marriage. They were married Oct. 12, 1865 in Rock County, Wisconsin. He says that he lived in Durand, Ill., was born in N.Y. He and Lydia were married in Beloit, Wisconsin. Hiram's first marriage was to Rachel Warren. In the 1850 census, I find a Lucretia Putney, 70, living with John Putney, 40, in Orangeville, Wyoming, NY. I would love to hear from anyone else interested in Hiram. He had 13 children, all of whom were living when he died in 1899 in Iowa.

7:28 – Suddenly awake. Sky is pitch black. Assume it's probably 3 or 4.
7:30 – Alarm. Ужас. Snooze.
7:40 – Turn on blinding desk lamp. And… snooze.
7:50 – Awake?
8:00 – Awake. Groggy. Swing legs off the bed. Toes search for тапочки.
8:02 – Up, shuffling around room. Paw through clothes in wardrobe. Первый корпус, 5-й этаж today. In other words, class is in a building comparable to the refrigerated section of a grocery store. No frozen dinners to snack on, unfortunately.
8:10 – Tights on under my pants. I will never get used to this.
8:13 – Trudge into kitchen. Mumble "доброе утро" to Nata, my host-mom. Clumsily sit down at tiny table. Nata sings to herself as she makes breakfast.
8:16 – Каша! Decide Russian oatmeal would win a fight against American oatmeal.
8:17 – Decide thoughts at this hour should not be shared with public.
8:18 – Hear Nata trying to wake Anya. Haha.
8:30 – Anya speeds into the kitchen, grabs a piece of toast. Munches. Speeds out of kitchen.
8:40 – Gather books, cram them into bag. Almost forget Politologia homework. Dennis Sergeyevich would not be pleased.
8:45 – Rush out the door, Anya right behind me. She's a student at the same university.
8:55 – On the metro. Anya listens to music. I stare out the window and try not to fall over at each stop.
9:30 – After a transfer, we're out of the metro, and the sky is brighter. Looks like it could be 6 a.m.
9:40 – Right inside the gates. Class starts now. Maybe my teacher is late, too. We part ways, Anya has class in a different building.
9:46 – Fifth floor, huffing and puffing.
9:48 – Realize that Irina Vladimirovna, our Phonetics teacher and the head teacher of our program, is never late. Rats.
9:50 – Slide into my seat. The not-so-great thing about small classes – everyone notices when you're not there. Especially when your class has two people in it.
11:10 – Ten minute break between classes. Just stuttered my way through an hour and a half of verbal repetition, vowel reductions, and stress shifts. Bleh.
11:20 – The dreaded Politologia. Dennis Sergeyevich strides in. He's barely in his seat before he starts asking questions about the text we read for homework. He speaks so quickly that sometimes, I'm not even sure of what he's asking.
11:45 – "Sasha, скажите, пожалуйста, about the Смутное время." I understand! He wants to know about the Time of Troubles. I can answer this.
11:46 – Try to say that it was a difficult time of social and economic crisis and that many natural disasters occurred. Don't really remember the word for 'natural'. Сти…. something. I mumble something unintelligible and trail off.
11:47 – "Do you mean natural disasters?" Стихийный! Right. I smile sheepishly.
12:50 – Перерыв for lunch. On Tuesdays and Thursdays, we eat in the university cafeteria since it's in the building where we have class. On university grounds, we are only allowed to speak in Russian, and lunches in the cafeteria are often humorous as we try, so unsuccessfully, to blend in among the sea of Russian university students.
1:40 – More Politiologia. Mrrrrh.
3:10 – Freedom! I go with some friends to a cafe on Nevski. It's located in this great bookstore where I spend a lot of time walking around and reading the transliterated titles. I found one of my favorites the other day, The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupery.
5:10 – The afternoons always fly by. Time to go home.
5:20 – My favorite part of day – the 5:15 metro jam. For a stop or two, I am a sardine in the can that is a metro car. After I transfer away from the center city line, it becomes less crowded. A seat opens up. I squeeze into it. My mind wanders. I read the advertisements on the walls, and try to practice newly-learned phrases in my head.
6:00 – Hop off the metro and onto the escalator. Always takes a little longer than I think it will.
6:10 – Arrive home, out of breath. Home is also on the 5th floor. Usually, Anya is already home, and we talk a little over tea. I wonder how many cups of tea I drink per day? Upwards of 5, definitely.
8 ish – Nata arrives home. Soon, I hear, "Sashaaaa, ужин готов!" I come into the kitchen and sit down at my usual spot. We eat, or rather, I eat and Nata watches me eat, to my constant chagrin. I convince her to sit down and eat with me, but it's only because I refuse to start eating until she does. She chatters, and I understand the gist of almost everything. I contribute a few thoughts. She delicately corrects my grammar, but encourages me to keep going. We laugh as the cats engage in their nightly scuffle at our feet.
10 ish – I settle in for the night. No class tomorrow, as Wednesday is excursion day. I read some Harry (Garry) Potter in Russian – I've read the first book in English so many times that my intuition takes over when I'm clueless about a word. Around this time, I check my e-mail and Facebook. It was strange at first, not being constantly connected to the Internet, but I'm starting to enjoy it.
Midnight ish – Bed. Anya's kitten, Kosmos, nudges my door open. I leave some room for him near the radiator.
This is an average Tuesday for me. Some Tuesday nights, I go out with friends, but it's always short-lived as the metro closes at midnight. It's okay with me – I like to be at home. I've really started to love life here. It's regimented, but I have my freedoms. Though it's still often very difficult, speaking comes more easily these days. And the past few mornings, the sky has been a bit brighter during my walk to the metro.
Here are a few pictures from my recent adventures (click to see the full size):

- Forum: Streetwear and Denim
Guys how fast do drips wear out? Are they really just going to be useless after a year of wear? How do they compare to rick sneakers in terms of durability? It seems like they float around from owner to owner as they veer toward their inevitable demise.

I have posted elsewhere but this seems like a better place I am building a pc from scratch I have built the pc case and now am looking at parts (on the cheap) i am not sure if i need a case fan my pc case is 24 by 18.3 by 14 and these are the parts:
4GB CF Compact Flash Memory Card
Compact Flash to SATA Converter Adapter
Intel D410PT Desktop Motherboard - Intel Chipset
LiteOn IHAS124-19 24x DVD+/-RW SATA Black - OEM
New Mini ITX PC DC-DC Power Supply Board 120W PSU 12V
Novatech 1GB (1x1GB) DDR2 PC2-5400C4 667MHz Single Channel Kit
finally can anyone provide with sizes for the i/o shield and will my pc parts boot off usb as I will not get the optical drive (being cheap and never use the one in my laptop!)

Being as you want to build a low cost system, and you already have the case, I would suggest a motherboard bundle like click here as it is all assembled and tested as well as being optimised to work together.
You will still need to get a PSU (Power Supply) and DVD drive.
If the USB has the operating system on it, it should (no guarrantees) boot from there.

This is literally the smallest pc i can build that it why i have made my own pc case as none on the market are small enough i am looking to build a pc for under 100 pounds and it consist of a passive cooler if you could help with i/o shield size or weather i would need a pc case fan. Finally you could also help me with cheaper parts.
This is not a high performance gaming rig just a simple web browser linux based system

Maybe Romney is nervous about the fiscal cliff, becuase he fears that he'll be left holding the bag if he gets elected. But Boehner, Cantor, and all the Tea-Party Igors in the house can't wait for the fiscal cliff to hit! They don't care about the health of the economy or the welfare of the Amercian People, all they want to do is SHRINK THE GOVERNMENT! They're all gleefully filling up the bathtub right now, and waiting for the Government to be small enough to fit in it and be drowned. That's all they care about.
