WASHINGTON - Metro says it has finished some emergency maintenance that caused major delays on the busy Red Line during the morning rush hour.
Metro announced shortly after 8:30 a.m. that it had restored normal operations on the red line through the heart of downtown Washington.
Trains had been forced to share a single track in both directions between Farragut North and Judiciary Square for more than two hours. The resulting delays left platforms crowded with commuters who were unable to squeeze onto trains.
Metro said the single-tracking was necessary to repair a piece of rail at a switch point.
Delays were expected to continue until after 9 a.m.

From Gene Deitch: "I made this film at the UPA New York animation studio in 1954. It was included in an episode of "The Gerald McBoing-Boing Show" on CBS television in the mid-1950s."
This show included several modern stylized cartoons made by UPA for TV. Each cartoon belonged to one of several series.
Although the show was produced in color, it was broadcast in black and white.
Individual cartoons ran for 5 minutes each.
The show ran at 5:30 p.m. Sundays. The series lasted only until March 10, 1957, as it turned out to be too expensive to continue.
Reruns of the show were aired on Friday nights in the summer of 1958. "The Gerald McBoing-Boing Show" thus appears to have been the first animated series to air regularly during prime time (preceding "The Flintstones" by two seasons).
Reran as "The Boing Boing Show."
This cartoon was an "Animals & Birds" segment of the show.

This ebook will challenge your status quo.
This series on hospitality has been growing inside my heart for a lifetime.
Because really, isn't it the ache of every human heart—to be known, to be loved?
You will be challenged to rethink how you live your life and how your view your 'neighbor'.
Go on a 31 day journey with me as we dig deep and discover the heart of hospitality and learn what it really means to be open and giving to others.
If you're my mother or my most loyal readers and are ready to make the purchase, you can do it, for $5, the price of a latte!
(This ebook is largely taken from material I wrote on my blog as a 31 Day series last October.
I have added content and edited the original posts to be better suited for an ebook.)
If you aren't sure it this ebook is for you, read on!
This work is born out of heartache. When we lost our house to fire 2 years ago, I wasn't sure I'd ever recover.
I sat in our driveway and watched our dreams burn to the ground.
I grieved so many things and felt loss like I'd never known.
I cried out for answers. Why us? Why this?
But our suffering isn't lost on our Father. It's only His grace in disguise.
And He will twist every heartache into joy.
While we worked hard to rebuild the bricks and mortar, He went to work on our stone hearts.
The truth is, we don't have to lose everything to feel our poverty. We sense it in the depths of our souls.
It's all just rubble. And our card houses teeter on disaster. We're all a mess, house fire or not.
We know we need someone——-someone who knows us and loves us in spite of ourselves.
That is the hospitality of scripture.
That is the warm welcome we receive from Christ himself.
Hospitality isn't about inviting people into our perfect homes, it's about inviting them into our imperfect hearts.
It's about learning to live from that vulnerable place where we open ourselves to love.
And ultimately, it's about Him—-The perfect Host who provides for everything we sinners need, right down to the best wine for the wedding feast.
This ebook is for anyone who has felt his own poverty and known the redemption of being loved anyway.
This is hospitality, on purpose.
On the practical side, we'll explore everything from how to set up a baking center in your kitchen to how to set up your guest spaces,
and even some tips on what to wear to be a well-appointed hostess.
This book includes a few of my favorite recipes and is loaded with photos. It's over 100 pages and 18,000 words long.
31 Days to a Heart of Hospitality
is my manifesto, of sorts. It will lead you into more meaningful relationships with all the people in your life, not just your occasional guests!
This ebook is the equivalent of a long chat with me on my screened porch, where I tell you a
few secrets that I've learned about welcoming people into my life,
after many years and much trial and error.
This ebook started out as a 31 Day series on my blog but I've added about 25% more content, including a chapter on Children and Hospitality, which is my favorite of the whole series.
To sample the book, you can read Day 1 here.
If you decide to purchase the book and are blessed by it, I would be so honored and humbled if you'd share the book with your friends and family
via your blogs, Facebook, Twitter, and even by good ole' fashioned word of mouth.
After many, many hours of writing, editing, cooking, writing some more and editing some more,
I'm so happy to be able to offer this to you in a printable, easily accessible version.
I hope you enjoy it!
What others are saying—
from Marie at The (Not Always) Lazy W:
" Edie's heartfelt book on hospitality is a must read. In thirty one warmly written installments, she illuminates the depth and breadth of this all-important aspect of humanity, this indispensable but often ignored chapter in homemaking. She writes with great intelligence and free flowing emotion about the purpose of hospitality. About the importance of opening our homes- our very selves- to others. They need it, and so do we. And she points to the relevance of some timeless domestic habits to our modern culture of convenience.
Her ideas sparkle with spiritual fervor. And as if that's not enough, each sub topic is drenched and enlivened with colorful, textural, enticing photos of the people and adornments of her private world, treats in which her blog followers take much delight! If you have so far regarded hospitality as an obligatory sweeping of the floor and putting out of the "good" soaps… Or, worse, if you have seen it as a chance to exalt yourself and demean others… then please treat yourself and your loved ones to this delicious little slice of grace. Southern grace, for sure, but also that lasting Grace we all crave.
Edie will reenergize your soul for loving others, and it will reinspire you to open your home."
And Laura Kooistra from Liberty Farm Chronicles
Always truthful, sometimes tough, and endlessly tender, Edie picks up her pen once again to touch the hearts of her readers. Her capacity to present fundamental big picture ideas at the same time as offering accessible practical help make her 31 Days to Hospitality series a life changing read. Most importantly perhaps, Edie doesn't offer us exhaustive "to do" lists, (although I have definitely adopted some of her suggestions), she stroke after stroke inspires and convicts me to admit my need for you, pray that you need me too, live in humility with myself first, and proceed to cultivate hospitality in my spirit before I make a single menu plan. Edie's characteristic effervescence infuses this series with a sense that she's got you right where she wants you – on her porch, sharing a sunset, and a joined hope for redeeming this precious life. Together.

About the author:
After leaving her career as a family physician in 2006, Edie has found her sweet spot, her life's work, at home. Like her favorite Greek hero, Odysseus, her homecoming has been full of joys and trials and plenty of hard work—-as she has seeks to live a full, authentic and creative life with her family. She cooks and cleans and homeschools and gardens and crafts and reads and dabbles in bird-watching and star gazing. She's obsessed with cowboy boots, banjos, monograms and cornbread, and is Southern to the core. Her faith journey has had similar twists and turns as she has struggled through legalism and mysticism to finally find her true home in the orthodox christian faith, where the grace of God in Christ, has become her life's manifesto. She documents her faith journey, her insatiable appetite for classic literature, her love for C.S. Lewis, her obsession with art and design, and her Southern chic decorating style on her blog, lifeingrace. Her home was recently featured in January's issue of Better Homes and Gardens, after her family rebuilt their home and life following a devastating house fire. She writes with wit, passion, and honesty, and hopes to inspire women to love and care for their homes and families, in the midst of the often despairing hardships that life canbrings.

On a wide variety of fronts, you are soooo right! My parents lost their place to a fire a few years before Dave, my husband, suddenly died in 11/11. Since then, hospitality just hasn't been important to me. Frankly, it's all I can do to keep the farm going along with the rest of life. Then, I "found" your e-book and am thinking…maybe it's time… I'm going to follow or sign up for your updates; life is frosty and Godly encouragement a balm in Gilead.
Thank you.

I ordered your book when you first released it. I could not find that it had downloaded, so I just wrote it off, however in reading the above comments, I see I was not the only one having problems. I have a Mac and decided it must not be compatable with your software. I thought I read someplace that you will be publishing this book in hardcover–did I dream that? Anyway, would be happy for another chance to download the ebook.
Thanks, so much.
- 91 March 23, 2013 at 10:28 am
Ummm. Glad I read the comments. I was going to download but it sounds like their is a problem with the downloading. If someone could comments that it was fixed or they finally got it downloaded, I would appreciate it.
- 92 March 23, 2013 at 11:22 am
Still not fixed and no reply from author. I am contacting my payment provider to report. So disappointed.

I'm looking forward to finishing 31 Days to a Heart of Hospitality. Thank you for sharing your heart with us.

Friday Discussion: Using The Seasons And Weather In Your Game
How do the seasons or weather play a part in your game? Do you have weather-based challenges? Do you largely ignore the impact of weather upon travel, or do you integrate it into your games?
Respond in the comments, if so inclined. I'm curious to see where everyone is at with this one. Have a great weekend!
18 comments:

No weather based challenges. But one campaign had a storm mage and I made him the weather man. He got to roll a d10 every morning to see what the weather was like and was supposed to get spells allowing him to modify the result eventually.
- October 9, 2009 at 8:51 AM
- Swordgleam said...
In my current game, the seasons are a huge deal. Part of the first big arc was that winter was coming, and the village wasn't going to be able to gather enough wood to make it through. The PCs had to go get a generator (it's a post-apocalyptic world) so that the town could survive. Everywhere the party went, the strong autumn winds knocked them around, and they tried not to be caught out in the open after dark.
When our next session starts, we'll have fast-forwarded a couple months and be in the middle of winter. I'll be interested to see how they handle being the only non-snowbound intelligent life, and the new dangers that winter brings.

Most of my recent gaming has been in more high-tech settings, so honestly it hasn't mattered much. In the new game I'm planning it will be a HUGE factor.
- October 9, 2009 at 10:47 AM
- 1d30 said...
Jason: The nice thing about high-tech settings is they're a lot like high-magic settings. So while living in a temperate climate with a lot of magic or tech is easy, people tend to seek adventure in harsher climates because they can survive them.
Examples: Antarctica, bottom of the ocean, Everest, Earth's Luna, Saturn's Titan, the edge of a black hole.
Doesn't mean survival is easy. People seem to push out to the point where survival is possible.

I find very little do my games actually incorporate anything of the weather or environment. It seems like every major battle takes place on a clear day, and the only thing that matters are the placement of a few trees, and maybe one strategic hill.
Of course, being a Soldier in real life, I can tell you that, this is the optimum condition. Not having to deal with waterlogged boots, mudslides, or anything interesting.
But most of the time, you want the campaign to be epic...and not lagged by the fact "Oh I fail the balance check and slip down the hill. Crap."
Ill admit though that would add more obstacle to the game. So maybe I should introduce it. In one of the products my company produced, we incorporate the environment into the magic system. Its essentialy a spell point system, where you get a minor amount of hourly recharge, modified by the environment. Of course, Druids are more effected.
We on the prduction team took this a step further and added "Arcane Terrain" which is simply an overlapping terrain set, that is, the vast majority of the time, invisible and unnoticed. So we incorporated the concept of ley lines of differing strengths, and nexus of arcane power. We described these as having an affect on the land, and even communities that grew up near them.
Naturally, the intersection of two ley lines created a nexus more powerful than any individual line. And cities might pop up where lines and rivers met. And god forbid a nexus come close to where a trade route or river...or both. Needless to say, these natural routes of commerce, energy, and resource would make for some powerful societies.
Look for the Emperor's Arcane on my website if your interested.

weather and seasons are usually pretty important in my games. Rain has a big impact on the use of early firearms (big when in meso-america), and in some of the feudal games I've run, winter is an important "non-adventuering" season when players learn new skills, and do major (indoor) works.
- October 9, 2009 at 1:45 PM
- DNAphil said...
I use to be really bad about weather and seasons in my games. I had several campaigns that were continuous spring that were sunny with a light breeze.
To make sure that I pay attention to it now, I have put a line in my adventure template that I use, for Date and Weather. This way, for each scene I write, I make sure I address both what time of the year it is, as well as what the weather is.
I will also use that weather to create modifiers in my game. If it is snowing hard, then there may be distance modifiers and such.
Once for Iron Heroes, I made a storm at sea, into an encounter of its own, as the characters had to work to keep the ship together and on course.

My post about weather.
In short, I think weather rules are great, and wouldn't imagine wilderness gaming without it. Makes for interesting coincidences when you are lucky, or something of a challenge.
Hmm. I wonder if there will be a link down below now?
- October 9, 2009 at 3:47 PM
- Norman Harman said...
It don't rain in the megadungeon, except of course on the garden sublevel. ;)
Unless weather is the point (a pirating in the stormy northern seas, trekking across the glacier, and the like) I mostly ignore it. It's just an interesting enough challenge to me when I could be subjecting players to laser toting froglocks.
Seasons on the other hand I make a point to describe and create minor issues. I feel it's a huge boon to immersion to experience the passage of years via seasons.
For my sandbox I'll have seasonal weather chart and make the players role on it.

For spur-of-the-moment, randomly generated weather conditions, you might be interested in the Eposic Weather Generator. Java 1.1 or higher required.

Congrats Zach, very interesting subject. There are lots of instructive posts above.
I used to be a DM who abuse this feature. In a certain campaign, the characters were in an extremely cold enviroment, and I was roling HT (gurps) tests to see if they would taste the symptons of hypothermia.
The effects, I still remember, are reduced coordination, inability to problem solve (I put lots of DX and IQ penalty) and severe shivering and shuddering.
This got worst than beat giants and monsters, because they had to seek for shelters and to avoid got wet. They had a lot of interesting ideas...
Other idea was very simple, I did it to made an specific character remove all pieces of his armour using the heat, giving him a bit of dehydration. He got very frustrated (or I should use the word upset, ehehehe) with this.
Strong hugs!

text: I had a problem with the gd and mysqli mods on my PHP5.2/Apache2.2/Windows 2003 server. Even after enabling the options in the php.ini file and restarting the Apache service, the mods still would not load. I even tried to restart the Windows 2003 server that php is loaded on - and no go. After reviewing the system path variables in Windows, I noticed that the c:\php directory was set in the path variable, but not the folder for the gd, mysqli and others mods. So I added c:\php\ext to the path variable and rebooted the server. THAT FIXED IT!!

America: Love It Or Be Left Behind

The most delusional and divisive claim about President Obama's election victory came, not surprisingly, from the disgraced Karl Rove, who told Fox News on Thursday that Obama "succeeded by suppressing the vote." Make no mistake: Rove was talking about the white vote. Earlier that day Real Clear Politics writer Sean Trende had written a piece wondering about "disappearing" white voters, claiming white voter turnout had dropped significantly, by roughly 7 million votes, as whites rejected both parties. Since blacks, Latinos and Asians increased their turnout, as did women and young people, Rove couldn't be talking about anybody but whites, and particularly older white men.
A quick reality check: Republican pollster Bill McInturff immediately debunked claims of disappearing voters of any color, reminding analysts that as always two days after a presidential election, many votes remained to be counted. The Thursday after the 2008 contest only 58% of the electorate had "turned out;" turnout climbed a bit above 62 percent when all the votes were tallied. In the end, turnout may be down this year, and it may well be mainly among whites, perhaps because of Hurricane Sandy. But to call that voter "suppression," in the face of genuine voter suppression efforts by Rove's own party – shortening early voting periods, attempts at repressive voter ID laws – is just another example of the shameless capacity to degrade, project and flat-out lie that is Turd Blossom's singular political brand – a brand that has, God willing, been terminally tarnished.
But Rove's wail about "suppressed" white voters reflects his party's broader outrage that the supposed "permanent Republican majority" he tried to build on the back of Kevin Phillips's "emerging Republican majority" of the late 60s – the one that used racial appeals to make whites, especially the white working class, its cornerstone – no longer exists. Whites only made up 72 percent of the 2012 vote, down from 77 percent in 2010, and even Romney's 59 percent of white voters, up from John McCain's 57 percent, couldn't make him president anymore.
Republicans will not go gently into that bad night, and thus we are hearing a range of reality-denying reactions, some of them flat out crazy. We've seen Rove's deranged explanation for his party's shellacking by what John Judis and Ruy Teixiera identified a decade ago as "the emerging Democratic majority:" Obama suppressed the white vote, Rove insists, primarily by running a negative campaign against Romney (John Kerry would like a word with you, Boss Rove). Let's walk through a few others:
Obama's emerging Democratic majority consists of slackers and moochers who just want things.
"People feel that they are entitled to things and which candidate, between the two, is going to give them things?" Bill O'Reilly said during his Tuesday self-pity party. "The white establishment is now the minority….The demographics are changing. It's not a traditional America anymore." A majority of Americans, O'Reilly opined, "want stuff. And who is going to give them things? President Obama. He knows it, and he ran on it."
The self-satirizing Ann Coulter declared "It's over. There's no hope if takers outnumber makers," reprising the failed VP nominee Paul Ryan's Ayn Randian depiction of the American divide. Rush Limbaugh declared, "I went to bed last night thinking we're outnumbered. I went to bed last night thinking we've lost the country. I don't know how else you look at this…Conservatism, in my humble opinion, did not lose last night. It's just very difficult to beat Santa Claus," continuing the theme of the Obama coalition going to the polls for handouts.

Fizzy mineral water mostly. If not raiding, then beer. If just jacking around with guildies doing pvp or farming trash in firelands then maybe a glass of single malt.
And btw, Pilsener lager is, as the name suggests, a type of lager that originated in Pilsen. Which is not in Germany. It is in the Czech Republic (the locals call the place Plzen).

Washington (CNN) -- It's not often that a presidential to-do list (and legacy-making agenda) comes down to a couple of key weeks, but here we are: gun control, immigration reform and the budget -- all front and center, right now.
It's an odd time in Washington. The president has been dating Republicans, dining with senators with whom he has hardly spoken in the past. Republicans seem to believe they can actually work with the president -- on immigration, at least.
As for guns, well, some in the GOP seem ready to filibuster an issue -- background checks -- that has overwhelming public support. "That won't do us a lot of good," moans one GOP pollster. "We will look like the party taking extremist positions."
Should anyone be able to buy guns? Share your views
Remember how well that worked with women in the last election?
And then there's the budget. The president decided to propose one this year that starts with compromise -- containing some of the entitlement reforms that he worked out with House Speaker John Boehner before the "grand bargain" became the grand failure. A couple of senior GOP pollsters tell me that they can't quite figure out why the president did something guaranteed to annoy his liberal base.
How about this for an answer: When all else fails, it doesn't hurt to look credible. Better yet, it doesn't hurt actually to be credible.
After all, what's the downside? "When you are dealing with dysfunction, the best you can do is demonstrate that you are reasonable," one senior administration official tells me. "The alternative would be throwing fuel on the flames. We need to be serious here."
It's about time. On all fronts.
Understand this: This is a not a strategy hatched by a bunch of Pollyannas at the White House. It is borne of necessity, and bred with an understanding of a public that has just about had it with Washington. The president played tough in the sequester fight -- calling for new revenues -- and he lost. Now he's not overplaying his hand; he's playing it smart.
On immigration, he's hanging back, letting congressional negotiators take the lead. He was called out for doing that on health care reform -- rightly so, allowing top Democrats Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid to manage an unpopular process and produce an unpopular bill. But this time, it's different: Republicans understand that immigration reform has now become a gateway issue. 'It's now a basic way for us to find our way back into national politics," one GOP pollster tells me. "It doesn't solve our problem with Latino voters by itself, but it helps."
Even polls show that a majority of GOP voters -- once opposed to reform -- are now on board with some version of it. The notion of a "pathway to citizenship" still stirs all kinds of fears about amnesty with the GOP base, but that's less of an issue these days: All things considered, any gain in Latino voters outweighs some shrinkage of the base.
It's a trickier route for the president on guns. Barack Obama didn't intend for gun control to be part of his second-term legacy; it came to be after Newtown. And this is an issue, by the way, that splits the Democratic Party more than it splits the GOP. A half-dozen Democratic Senate races in pro-gun states next year could hang in the balance. And if the Democrats lose those senators -- and can't break a GOP filibuster -- it's dangerous for them, too.
Not as dangerous, of course, as the GOP holding up any vote on a gun bill. That, I would argue, could have a great deal of impact on the midterm elections. Why? Because the president will continue to take the issue directly to the voters, 90% of whom agree with him on background checks.
It's a delicate time here in Washington. If nothing happens on guns, for instance, what about the rest of the Obama agenda? "If you can't pass a bill on guns in this environment, what can you ever do?" asks one senior administration official. "It sets the bar so high for anything, people will be demoralized."
The result? Retreat. Maybe some sort of immigration reform passes (it's in everyone's self-interest) but no tax reform. No serious entitlement reform. Nothing big on the agenda, just small-scale items.
Perfect for politicians unable to respond to crisis, much less the will of the people.
