For Immediate Release August 4, 2003
AUSTIN - This week, I will continue with the analysis of proposed constitutional amendments. The election will be held on September 13, and Texans will vote on 22 proposed amendments to the Texas Constitution. This article focuses on amendments four through eight. The analyses contained in these articles comes from the Texas Legislative Council's "Condensed Analysis of Proposed Constitutional Amendments." To view the entire document, please visit their website at www.tlc.state.tx.us, or feel free to contact my office for a hard copy.
The constitutional amendment relating to the provision of parks and recreational facilities by certain conservation and reclamation districts.
SUMMARY: The proposed amendment amends Section 59, Article XVI, Texas Constitution, to provide that conservation and reclamation districts have the specific right and duty to develop parks and recreational facilities. The amendment requires the legislature to pass laws concerning the development of parks and recreational facilities by districts. The amendment, without limiting the power to finance parks and recreational facilities that currently exists, provides for the issuance of bonds financed by taxes in districts located completely or partially in a limited number of areas.
ARGUMENTS FOR: The proposed amendment clarifies an area of the law that has been at issue by stating clearly that conservation and reclamation districts may create parks and recreational facilities. The amendment would empower the voters in certain areas to choose to finance area parks and recreational facilities with tax dollars if they feel the need exists. It is proper to place this decision with the affected voters, and restricting this power to certain areas limits it to localities where the greatest need exists. The amendment would allow conservation and reclamation districts to meet the recreational needs of communities whose needs are not being met by the city, town, or county in which they are located. Many citizens live in unincorporated areas not adequately serviced, and authorizing conservation and reclamation districts to improve the civic spaces of a community will improve the quality of life for area residents.
ARGUMENTS AGAINST: There is no reason to allow only districts in the listed areas to use tax dollars to finance parks and recreational facilities while districts elsewhere may not use tax dollars for that purpose. Conservation and reclamation districts should focus on water and conservation issues. Other political subdivisions, such as municipalities and counties, currently have the ability to address parks and recreational needs and are more appropriate entities to satisfy those needs. The creation of some conservation and reclamation districts is initiated by and significantly benefits private developers. Allowing districts to provide parks and recreational facilities and to finance them with tax money creates too much of a risk that the facilities would be provided at public expense to create an amenity that a private developer can use to promote a land development.
The constitutional amendment to authorize the legislature to exempt from ad valorem taxation travel trailers not held or used for the production of income.
SUMMARY: Section 1(d), Article VIII, Texas Constitution, currently authorizes the legislature to exempt from ad valorem taxes certain tangible personal property but excludes the legislature from exempting tangible personal property structures used or occupied as residential dwellings. The proposed amendment amends Subsection (d) to exclude from being exempt only those structures used or occupied as residential dwellings that are substantially affixed to real estate. The amendment repeals Section 1(j), Article VIII, Texas Constitution, which authorizes the legislature to allow a taxing unit, other than a school district, to exempt travel trailers from ad valorem taxes.
ARGUMENTS FOR: Approval of the proposed amendment will eliminate the mandatory school taxes on travel trailers and provide travel trailers with the same tax treatment as other noncommercial personal property, such as motor vehicles. The exemption will eliminate the current disincentive for consumers in Texas to purchase travel trailers that will not be attached to real property and will also promote tourism and economic development. Imposition of the ad valorem tax on travel trailers by those school districts and other taxing units that elect to tax travel trailers amounts to "double taxation" because the purchaser of a travel trailer is also required to pay sales and use taxes and annual vehicle registration fees on the trailer. In 2001, the legislature and the voters intended to authorize the elimination of ad valorem taxes on travel trailers. Approval of the amendment will authorize the legislature to rectify the unintended effect of the 2001 amendment and end the double tax on travel trailers. Ad valorem taxation of travel trailers is very inefficient, due to the costs of identifying and appraising them and of billing for and collecting the relatively small amount of taxes imposed on each of them. Approval of the amendment will require a school district or other taxing unit that elects to tax travel trailers to bear the full costs of taxation, which are currently borne in large part by the appraisal district.
ARGUMENTS AGAINST: If the proposed amendment is adopted, those school districts and other taxing units that do tax travel trailers will lose the property tax revenue they currently receive from the taxation of travel trailers unless their governing bodies act affirmatively to impose an ad valorem tax on those trailers. To make up any shortfall, those school districts and taxing units may have to impose higher property taxes on other property owners, including persons who own and reside in manufactured homes and other types of homes. A person who resides in a travel trailer, regardless of whether it is affixed to real property, should be required to pay property taxes on the trailer, just like other home owners, including those who reside in manufactured homes. The proposed exemption of travel trailers creates a property tax break for a small group of persons who will no longer pay their fair share of taxes. By requiring a school district or other taxing unit to take affirmative action to tax travel trailers, and imposing all the costs of appraising those travel trailers on a school district or other taxing unit choosing to tax them, the legislature is unfairly discouraging those school districts and other taxing units that have previously taxed travel trailers from continuing to tax them in order to maintain their current tax base.
The constitutional amendment permitting refinancing of a home equity loan with a reverse mortgage.
SUMMARY: The proposed amendment amends Section 50(f), Article XVI, Texas Constitution, by providing that a home equity loan may be refinanced in a manner that converts the loan into a reverse mortgage. The same change proposed by this amendment is also being proposed, among other constitutional changes, by Proposition 16, which is being submitted to the voters at this election.
ARGUMENT FOR: Reverse mortgages are a popular means for seniors to supplement their income by tapping the equity in their homes. Beginning in 1998, there were several years when home equity loans were available but reverse mortgages were not offered. During this period many persons who would have preferred reverse mortgages obtained home equity loans instead. The proposed amendment would allow those borrowers to convert their existing home equity loans into reverse mortgages.
ARGUMENT AGAINST: Reverse mortgages are not subject to all the extensive safeguards that apply to home equity loans. Elderly persons, who may be more susceptible to unscrupulous or uncaring lending practices, may be victimized by lenders who would convince elderly borrowers under home equity loans to convert those loans to reverse mortgages under terms unfairly favorable to the lender.
The constitutional amendment to permit a six-person jury in a district court misdemeanor trial.
SUMMARY: The proposed amendment specifies that a district court petit jury hearing a criminal misdemeanor case must consist of six persons. In a conforming change, the amendment also strikes a provision allowing nine members of a district court 12-member jury to render a verdict in a criminal misdemeanor case.
ARGUMENTS FOR: Six-member county court juries are authorized by Article 33.01, Code of Criminal Procedure, to hear criminal misdemeanor cases, and a majority of misdemeanor cases are tried before those six-member juries. However, in some small or rural counties, 12-member district court juries hear criminal misdemeanor cases. Allowing six-member juries in district court criminal misdemeanor trials would bring uniformity to the law. Reducing the number of jurors in criminal misdemeanor cases would save counties time and money without sacrificing the merits of a jury trial.
ARGUMENT AGAINST: Allowing six-member district court jury trials in criminal misdemeanor cases would reduce the procedural protection of a 12-member jury in misdemeanor official misconduct cases. The legislature intended a 12-member jury trial in those cases involving a public official accused of a crime that might lead to the official's removal from office.
The constitutional amendment authorizing the legislature to permit a person to take office without an election if the person is the only candidate to qualify in an election for that office.
SUMMARY: The proposed amendment adds Section 13, Article XVI, Texas Constitution, to authorize the legislature to provide by general law that a person may take office without an election if that person is the only candidate to qualify in an election to be held for that office.
ARGUMENTS FOR: By authorizing the legislature to allow an authority holding an election to avoid the expense of time and money to count votes for unopposed candidates, the proposed amendment promotes efficiency in election administration and would help reduce the cost of elections without interfering with anyone's right to vote. If a candidate is unopposed, and no other candidate, including a write-in candidate, is eligible for election to that office, the race is decided before the election occurs. The amendment would permit the legislature to give election officials greater flexibility in ballot preparation, and shorter, simpler ballots will allow the voter to focus on contested races, without having to sort through the unopposed candidates. Shorter ballots will also reduce voter confusion, especially during the implementation of new electronic voting systems.
ARGUMENTS AGAINST: Omitting a candidate from the ballot deprives voters of their right to vote for the candidate of their choice. Those who take the time to vote are exercising their right to endorse the candidates they wish to represent them and validate the candidates' election to public office. The right to vote for a candidate should exist whether or not there is a choice in candidates. The amendment would authorize the legislature to deprive candidates of the opportunity to gain visibility by campaigning and make it more difficult for the voters to know who their elected leaders are or what offices are being filled. The formality of an election is an important part of the democratic process that should not be rendered into a mere technicality.

The grace period is from sunrise until about 8.30am, but after that I get this reminder. And I always respond. Essentially they have me trained.
Those dogs definitely know what time it is.
You get until 8:30?!? If something doesn't show up in the food bowls before 7:30, my crew does the stumpy dance and the heavy sigh chorus until breakfast arrives.ReplyDelete
Ahhh yes,..the heavy sigh chorus. Accompanied with longing stares? I would love to see the stumpy dance, which I'm sure is very entertaining.Delete
Cats on the other hand have absolutely no sense of time other than now. As in, my food bowl is empty, I don't care if it is 3 am and you're asleep, it must be filled now!ReplyDelete
CallieK - I know nothing about cats so it's always good to hear from cat owners. A 3am wake up call would make them unpopular in our house for sure!
Love it. If I don't get food by 8:30 my husband would probably say that I make similar sounds.ReplyDelete
Pam - If only we could train our dogs (or husbands) to respond to our own cries of hunger!Delete
We have lurchers, so they tend to just start following me about the house, alternating with running back to check nothing has miraculously appeared in their bowls and just standing RIGHT behind me, rather than making a noise.
The ducks on the other hand, set up a crescendo until I go to see what the problem is. (Their food hopper is missing a screw and is a bit temperamental, sometimes not dispensing pellets into the dish). They have me well trained. (But I have got them to go in at night if I shout 'bed!' at them. Evens, I think!)
Hazel - Of course, the 'Miracle of the magically appearing breakfast'. That made me laugh. We don't have ducks but I understand they can get quite vociferous at any perceived slight. Sending them to bed on a command is no mean feat!Delete
My Heinz-57-with-a-side-order-of-whippet will do this at any time I'm not carrying out whatever task she feels is appropriate for the moment.
Last night it was bedtime ... normally we go into the garden for a night-time pee, then in for a couple of biscuits and straight to bed. Unfortunately for her, husband and I decided to sit at the kitchen table to plan the Christmas menus - Daisy got extremely upset that I was in the wrong room and shouted at me until I did as I was told ... bless her :}
BW - with a side order of whippet....love it. I think we inadvertently train our animals just by sticking to a routine, funny when we get picked up on it by our pets.Delete
Just to say Good Luck with the move. Please 'blog' again when you can, I'm sure I am not alone in wanting to know how you and the animals settle in your/their new home! I may not comment often, but do enjoy reading your musings of a life so very different from mine!! All the best!ReplyDelete

Kung Pao Chicken
Find a Conversation
|Sat, 12-29-2012 - 12:35pm
Kung Pao Chicken for Two for an early supper.
Kung Pao Chicken is my #2 favorite Chinese dish (Sesame Chicken being #1, although I can't usually justify ordering it since it's basically syrup covered, donut battered chicken.)
Kung Pao Chicken is much lighter, not usually battered, and is only slightly sweet. Gingery and spicy too!
I found a recipe for a really simple looking Kung Pao Chicken online from BlogChef.net and had high hopes for the dish.
Chicken breast is lightly coated in cornstarch, to give it a faux-battered texture, then sautéed in sesame oil before bold flavors like green onion, garlic, red pepper and ginger are added in.
A 3-ingredient sauce (!) made up of soy sauce, rice vinegar and a wee bit of sugar brought the whole thing together,
while yummy steamed broccoli and roasted peanuts finished 'er off.
And it was GOOD.
SOOOOO good. I think this was the best stir fry I have ever made!
Kung Pao Chicken for Two
Serves 2
Adapted from BlogChef.net
1 large chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
salt & pepper
1 Tablespoon cornstarch
2 teaspoons sesame oil
3 Tablespoons green onions, chopped
3 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1/2 teaspoon powdered ginger
2 Tablespoons rice vinegar
2 Tablespoons soy sauce
2 teaspoons sugar
2 cups broccoli, steamed
2 Tablespoons peanuts
1. Lightly season chicken with salt & pepper. Dredge in the cornstarch and shake off excess in a colander.
2. Combine green onions, garlic cloves, red pepper flakes and powdered ginger in a small bowl, then set aside. Combine soy sauce, rice vinegar and sugar in a small bowl. Microwave for 30 seconds to dissolve sugar, then set aside.
2. Heat a wok or large skillet on med-high (~325 degrees on an electric wok.) Add sesame oil and, when hot, add chicken. Cook until chicken is no longer pink, ~5 minutes. Remove to a plate.
3. Add green onion mixture to the wok and cook, stirring constantly for 15 seconds. Add soy sauce mixture to the wok and let bubble for 10-15 seconds, or until it begins to thicken slightly. Add chicken back into the wok, along with broccoli and peanuts. Stir to combine. Turn off heat and serve over rice.
The ginger and sesame flavors really popped, and the rice vinegar, soy sauce and hint of sweetness from the sugar mimicked any restaurant's Kung Pao perfectly. You should really, really give this a try!

Collection Development - Education Curriculum
Collections Librarian : Pamela Bristah (x2076)
The goal of the Education Curriculum Collection is to provide student teachers in both elementary and secondary education with access to materials that they can use in lesson plan preparation and can take with them into the classrooms in which they teach. The focus of the collection is on presenting students with exposure to the types of materials that they will encounter as they do field work and those that will stimulate the development of creative class design. The collection will also support the needs of students who are more generally interested in curriculum development.
Material collected
The core collection comprises basic teaching texts and resource materials in elementary-level language arts, social studies and sciences. While some materials in the specific subject fields in which the College offers secondary certification are acquired, students rely upon the Library's subject collections as the primary resource. These are supplemented by a basic collection of children's literature, focusing on award-winning titles but representing the juvenile literature of all cultures. An effort is made to add key elementary and secondary textbook series (along with their guides and associated teaching materials); only the latest edition of each series will be maintained. Standards for instruction in all subject areas and at both levels are collected. The focus of all materials is upon pedagogic practice in the United States.
Formats collected
The collection represents the major formats in which teaching materials are published: books, kits, consumables, games, etc. Audiovisual materials dealing with basic teaching skills are acquired selectively. Since students will generally use the software that is available in their fieldwork school assignment, only very select software will be collected as exemplars of the field. Both AV and software are housed in the Knapp Media and Technology Center.
Conceived as a basic resource collection, it is expected to grow to approximately 500-600 titles and will remain fairly stable over time, with weeding of outdated materials keeping the collection current.
Location of collection
The collection is shelved on the third floor of The Clapp Library, in the ranges of shelving on the back wall between the stairwell and Seminar Room 3.
Additional resource support
The Education Curriculum Collection receives additional support from the rest of the Library's holdings, among which are education journals (online and in print), classroom maps, and books, print and online, relating to the history of education, education policy, comparative education, child psychology and development, testing and learning, etc.

December 20, 2014
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- A proposal to change the Tennessee Constitution to give the Legislature the power to confirm or deny the governor's appointments to the state Supreme Court justices, has cleared its second of four legislative votes.
The House voted 70-27 on Thursday in favor of the resolution sponsored by Republican Rep. Jon Lundberg. The Senate passed the measure on a 23-8 vote earlier this week.
The measure would give the Legislature the power to deny the governor's appointments within 60 days. It would keep the current retention election system in place for members of the high court.
The resolution would have to be again approved by both chambers by a two-thirds majority within the next two-year General Assembly before it could be put before the voters in 2014.

Lootera Box Office Collections: Opening Day
Lootera has collected Rs 4.5 crore on its opening day at the box office, which is exactly what Ranveer Singh's last release Ladies vs Ricky Bahl managed on its first day.
On Saturday morning, the occupancy at a few multiplexes was around 10-15% higher than Friday which is a good sign.
Critics have praised the film, but what might work against Lootera is the fact that the film has limited appeal. Also, the second half has been criticised for its slow pace.
The first day business was slightly lower than Raanjhanaa (5.1 cr) – a film that started slow, showed good growth in business over the weekend and then managed to put up excellent numbers in Week 1 and 2. It remains to be seen if Lootera can pick up and trend as well as Raanjhanaa did.

Justin Lookadoo takes the stage before a crowd of teenagers in a rumpled white shirt and conch necklace. Beneath bleached-blonde hair, his face contorts into cartoon expressions as he rapidly spouts truthiness about dating.
"First thing you need to understand ladies is that guys are going to lie to you to get what they want and what they want is sex. The end," he says, all in one breath and in a heavy Texas drawl.
That speech, posted on YouTube, was described as but a preview of what Lookadoo calls his "Dateable" program, a motivational speech he delivers regularly to teens in Texas and other states. In his promotional material, he claims, "This is the #1 most requested program Justin has ever produced because it's the one where he spills the beans. He shares all the juicy secrets (all the guys' secrets and all the girls' secrets) to help students understand what being Dateable really means."
A former juvenile probation officer who describes his "speaking ability" as a "gift," Lookadoo has a website, R. U. Dateable, that 0ffers interactive guides for teens navigating their first relationships. In the section, "dateable rules," he offers the following advice:
Dateable girls know how to shut up. They don't monopolize the conversation. They don't tell everyone everything about themselves.
The Dateable girl let's [sic] God run the world, and tells herself the truth–that all she can control is herself. She doesn't imagine things to be more than they are.
Let him lead. God made guys as leaders. Dateable girls get that and let him do guy things, get a door, open a ketchup bottle. They relax and let guys be guys. Which means they don't ask him out!!!
For boys, Lookadoo recommends self-control and maintaining dominance.
Men of God are wild, not domesticated. Dateable guys aren't tamed. They don't live by the rules of the opposite sex. They fight battles, conquer lands, and stand up for the oppressed.
Keep it covered up. Dateable guys know that porn is bad for the spirit and the mind. They keep women covered up.
In his book, Dateable, which he describes as a "#1 bestseller" and directs at teenage girls, Lookadoo writes, "Please, please don't tease us. To show us your hot little body … and then tell us we can't touch it is being a tease. You can't look that sexy and then tell us to be on our best behavior."
Lookadoo has had more than 4,000 speaking engagements, according to his own count, including at countless assemblies at public schools throughout the South and Midwest. On Wednesday, the PTA at Richardson High School, a public school in a Dallas suburb, invited him to speak on bullying and dating to its students during the school day.
Richardson is an overwhelmingly conservative and Christian community, yet some students left the assembly early, and others surrounded him after the event to confront him about his claims.
"Why did you tell girls to get out of abusive relationships instead of telling guys not to be abusive in the first place?" one student asked.
Others tweeted their concern:
Lookadoo maintains that his speech at RHS was toned down from his typical "Dateable guides" fare.
"They set it up like I was preaching at a school and the complaints are based on relationship stuff on a website that I don't even talk about in schools," he wrote on his Facebook page on Wednesday night.
But according to the Dallas Morning News, his RHS appearance included messages like these:
Girls are nastier to each other than boys are, Justin Lookadoo told two packed auditoriums at Richardson High School. Being a man means protecting the weak — and women. High school boys and girls should be wary of putting too much into a romance that is almost certain to dissolve.
His talk at RHS was mainly aimed at the girls in the audience and how they should behave in relationships. When addressing the boys, he urged them to reject feminism and be macho:
Girls, he said, were their own worst enemies.
"The reason it's so hard for you to succeed these days is not because of guys," he said, "You're doing it to yourselves."
Guys, he said, need to be manly.
"Somewhere between the modern church and the feminist movement, guys turned into pansies," he said. "Stand up and be a man! Do something with your life!"
The school district later apologized for not informing parents or students about Lookadoo's appearance or agenda, but hundreds of members of the community have already voiced their outrage.

Putting together today's post has reinforced the fact that I'm getting old and can't keep up with when all these dang reoccurring events begin and end and how long they last. Once a year and even once a month, events are so much easier to blog.
Move Your Body, Girl & 7 Facts
Yeah so there is this new Meme where we share 7 SL facts about ourselves. Strawberry Singh kicked it off yesterday…

Baby girl, You're Still A Flower
Today I have a few new items. As you can see my blond period didn't last for too long. I always go back to black. I love black hair because it doesn't clash with the other colors I may be wearing.
I'll Take You There
Yeah so everyone has been blogging the items from Maitreya's release last week. Its been a long time since I blogged a new release from Maitreya so I guess you'll have to see this outfit again. My favorite of the new release is the Milia Sweater Dress. Its a sweatshirt dress that looks cool for lounging out home or going out if you kick it up a notch.
I'm The Only Woman
I'm running out of boring blog titles. I think from now on I'll do song titles, probably songs 90% of you have never heard.
Collabor88 has a new round at new location. Auxiliary has the mullet tops in 11 colors that fit this month's theme of timeless. Also available at C88 is Maxi Gossamer's Marrakech Heart necklace available in gold and silver.
Newness from Coldlogic and Frooti
There are only two stores that I jump for joy when I see there are new mesh releases. If you read my previous posts you know that Coldlogic is one of those stores. I have confidence in the brand and the quality of clothes. Enough confidence that I know I can buy without a demo. That is saying alot, if you've read my many rants on mesh "standard sizing". Their latest release includes the May capri pants. May comes in several bright spring colors and has a soft pin stripe. I paired May with the previous release, the Tebbets tank top. As usual with Coldlogic both pieces come with several different texturing and color options to chose.
Love Is All You Need
As you already know we have Chic's Back to Black event going right now. In addition the Juicy Crush On You event is happening this week. Be sure to check out the coverage of both events on the Seraphim Blog. The ladies on Seraphim do a fabulous job covering all the events. I depend on them so much, I don't go to an event until after I've seen their coverage.
At the Crush on you event, Mudhoney has the Juliet Chair, with 7 couples animations, 6 parent & child animations and 20 singles animations and the Love Is All You Need Poster. I'm wearing the Serenity Leisure Outfit from by Lizzie at Back to Black. I love the pants they look so comfy. Salvatore is wearing the black Survival T-shirt from T-Junction and WTG Jewelry's Courage necklace. Both items are also available at Back to Black.
This is my take on the 52 Weeks of Color: Iron.
Diesel Works PolyWall
I love a good pose prop. Diesel Works just released an updated version of the PolyWall. The new version has a whopping 26 poses and 15 textures. So many to chose from, Sal fell asleep while I was picking out poses and textures for the shoot. It is rare to find a pose prop with so many quality poses and textures. This pose prop is a definate must have for your photography arsenal. Be sure to check it out.
Bubblegum Weekend Thingie
Sal's gone for the weekend, poor me forced to take my own pictures. *cries* And I've been a busy little bee, this is my first Bubblegum Weekend Challenge. I'm wearing Truth's Becky hair, in blueberry, available at The Truth District as a freebie. Be sure to join the Truth District Update Group to get all the freebies available opening weekend. Group chat has been turned off so its safe to join now.

Title: A trash bin of memories
Posted: December 16, 2007 (02:53 PM)
Next to sandbox design and quasi-futuristic body armor, Cineractives are some of the hottest buttons in gaming. Resident Evil 4 supposedly introduced them, God of War supposedly refined them, and they are, supposedly, pushing games to new peaks on the evolutionary scale. If nothing else, cineractives certainly are a welcome relief from the high-school prose posing as proverbs of endless insight (Metal Gear maybe?). I hate to imagine what our beloved hobby would have become had cineractives not appeared in... 1983.
That's right Leon. You may have brought cineractives to the masses, but the honor of originality goes to, this guy-
Okay. Crediting Dragon's Lair with birthing the cineractive might be a bit of a stretch. Timed button presses were the only challenges, and it was closer to being a cartoon than an actual game. Still, it played a large role in paving the way into modern gaming. Without Dragon's Lair, would there have been a Space Ace, Hologram Time Traveler, or the subsequent FMV craze of the '90s?
FMV games are cringe-inducing by today's standards, but there was a time when the grainy images of Under a Killing Moon and The 7th Guest sought to push gaming into a realm that could only be matched by the visual and narrative power of the cinema. They succeeded to a degree, until the novelty of realism wore off and the desire for depth took hold. Designers hit the drawing boards, hired professional screenwriters, and interspersed traditional gameplay with cutscenes of cinematic potential. Eventually, the disjointed experience of playing and watching, as in Final Fantasy VII, lead to the cinematic interaction of modern times.
It seemed good at the time.
Who knows? If it hadn't been for Dragon's Lair, we might have never seen Kratos' beautiful mutilation of Greek mythology, let alone controlled it. That, or we could have skipped the FMV holocaust.

Cineractics brought forth by Resident Evil 4? I'm 100% positive I was playing QTE segments in Shenmue back in 2000.

You're very correct, but sadly, Resident Evil 4 usually gets the credit (hence the "supposedly").

Good ol' Dirk never got any further than Dirk the Dying when I controlled him. And by controlled, I mean I pressed buttons and he did nothing. I think it took me about two dozen game overs just to stop the thing in the moat from grabbing me after the drawbridge collapsed under my feet - all the while leaving me to wonder if there was an input problem or something.

I'm still partially convinced that Dragon's Lair has no ending, and that the sequences shown in the idle screen were fake.

Never mind: if you didn't grab the Gamecube/PS2/Xbox remakes last generation, perhaps you can grab the DS/PSP remakes that are being made as we speak!
Dirk will not die! Publishers won't let him.

Whether deserving of credit or not, Resident Evil 4 still used the mechanic wonderfully, especially during boss battles.
User: Felix_Arabia

I don't understand why RE4 would get that credit, but I suppose stranger things have happened.
I've never played a Dragon Lair game. They seem interesting.

You could simulate the experience pretty well by taking an episode of a cartoon, playing 10 seconds, start over, play 20 seconds, start over, and repeat until the end. You have to buy the DVD with a roll of quarters though. That's the rule.

Husband's lack of desire fueled by his ignorance
Q: My husband and I have been married for 15 years. We had a great sex life from the start. During the past year, we have not had sex. I tried a couple of times. The last time, when he was in the shower, I thought, "What the heck?" and decided to surprise him and get in. Well, that did not work out as planned. I could feel that he was not into it or me. I miss our sex life.
He's come up with all sorts of theories, such as that sex is a luxury, he no longer likes his body, he doesn't want to be told what to do, we're too old for sex. He said he'd go to a doctor, but months have gone by and he hasn't.
A: He has lots of theories, but probably none is correct. What many couples face as they get older is that our bodies change, and if one or both are ignorant of the possible changes, their sex life can die needlessly. For example, at a certain age, which is different for every man, a man can no longer get a psychogenic erection, a spontaneous erection without actual physical contact.
He might interpret that as meaning that he is no longer attracted to his wife, but it has nothing to do with her; it's his body that has changed. But since he can get an erection with physical stimulation, it doesn't mean their sex life has to end.
So as couples age, compromises need to be made. Their sex life will change, but it doesn't have to end if both are willing to work at it. And as for seeing a doctor, it seems he's ashamed to admit his problems to one. I suggest getting a book on aging and sex. Let him read it, gain some understanding of what is going on and then see if he's more willing to have a more productive attitude.
Q: I am 26 years old. Is oral sex safe with my wife? I read on the Internet that oral sex can cause cancer.
A: What could make any form of sex with anyone, a spouse or a complete stranger, dangerous is if that person has a sexually transmitted disease. Are there STDs that can be transmitted through oral sex? Absolutely, so if your wife has one of these, you could get it. But if she doesn't, and she remains faithful and doesn't get one from someone else, then you're safe. In other words, oral sex with your wife by itself can't cause you to get a disease unless she has an STD.
If you're worried, she should get tested, as should you. If you're both given the all-clear, you can safely have oral sex or any other type of sex. If she has an STD, then talk to her doctor about what to do.
Q: Since I turned 40, my sex drive has gone down. It's affecting my husband and me really badly. He is a very handsome man, and We love each other very much and have been married 14 years. I have no problem going a week or two without sex. He thinks I look at sex as a chore and thinks I don't want him anymore.
Even when I am in the mood, I am always dry, and I believe that it's because I always have everything else on my mind: the day's activities, our son and his issues, life in general. I get irritated, because I have just gotten done taking care of the day in the house, and he has to go to bed and he expects me to be in that frame of mind. Sometimes I don't even want foreplay. Any advice?
A: Here's my advice: You could be starting peri-menopause and thus undergoing some physical changes, but those all can be handled, perhaps with the help of your gynecologist. At the very least, you can add some lubricant to handle dryness. But don't confuse vaginal dryness with a lack of desire; it could be changing hormones.
Second, I know that many people these days have so much on their mind that it's difficult to find time for sex. The best way around that is to make dates to have sex, ones that you won't break.
Get yourself in the mood earlier that day by thinking erotic thoughts. Choose whether it be memories with your husband or some fantasy with a favorite movie star; just let yourself become a little aroused. And have a glass of wine so that you're more relaxed. Not too much, just enough to help you unwind. If you plan for sex, you'll see that you'll get aroused. And at other times you can let him have intercourse, and you don't have to do much other than apply some lubricant.
In other words, you need to find ways to reach a compromise. But don't go blaming him, your age or sex in general. Just accept that as people age, they have to figure out how to have sex, given the changes in their lives.

patrick mannion from Greg Solow's Engine Room, June 02, 2010, 23:23Master
If the oil light is on and the engine is making a noise it is likelt the engine has no oil pressure. The light comes on at very low pressure so if it on with the engine running the engine is likely being damaged. Disable the ignition, unscrew the oil filter and crank over the engine oil should gush out if it doesn't the engine has NO oil pressure and should not be run.
Answer #2Henderson from Toyo Automotive Services Inc, March 05, 2011, 17:45Technician
First things forst. Do not start the engine until you are sure the vehicle has the proper amount of oil. If the oil level is correct have the vehicle towed to a shop for inspection. There is internal blockage or failure.
