Married Congressman Caught E-Mailing Shirtless PicsFebruary 9, 2011 - by Donny Shaw
Gawker got its hands on a topless photo of Rep. Chris Lee [R, NY-26] that the congressman, who is married, allegedly tried to use to pick up women on Craigslist. According to the report, which is based on information from a woman who Lee had been corresponding with, he described himself as a "divorced" "lobbyists," lied about his age and job, and promised "not to disappoint." For what it's worth, Lee claims that his email account was hacked.
Since you'll undoubtedly be hearing more about this developing scandal, take a second to learn more about exactly who Lee is. From his OpenCongress profile page, you can get a quick bio, learn about what kind of bills he is sponsoring and co-sponsoring, see how he votes, find out who funds his campaigns, and watch videos of him from the House floor and national TV. Oh, and if that picture makes you interested in meeting Lee in the flesh, for whatever reason, here' s a list of parties he's hosting in the coming months.
Quick Update: Lee has announced that he is resigning from Congress "effective immeditaley." I'm assuming that means all those fundraising parties are canceled as well.

Lindsay Lohan charged with stealing necklace from Venice jeweler.
Actress Lindsay Lohan pleaded not guilty to felony grand theft charges. She is accused of stealing a $2,500 necklace Jan. 22. She was released on $40,000 bail.
OpenCongress is a public-mission project with the following principles ::
Non-partisan (we are independent from any political party and candidate)
We hold these principles because we believe they form the best foundation in providing a valuable and trustworthy public resource — more than just motivating ideals, they are formally incorporated into our organizational structure.
While I don't think the behavior alone merits losing his job, this incident calls into serious question his ability to understand "cause and effect" relationships.
Someone who can't understand the consequences of his actions, does not belong in politics voting on things that will have consequences for the whole nation.

Holding any elected political position is a privilege that also carries responsibility. If you can't act appropriately while in elected office then you don't deserve your elected position. If this simple, logical, ethical and mature rule were applied to everyone in elected office, we would have no government at any level.
This is not to say that corporate leaders act any better. In many cases they act much worse.

Qee Metalic Bear - Gold Edition
"You ain't from around here are you?"
Nope, these shiny, metallic Qee Bears come from a place where the sun only makes an appearance once every 4 days. So this pale, sunless race of Qees developed a most interesting mutation; liquid-gold skin pigments when exposed to light. I know most of you will want to try "catching them out" in their original pigmentation but good luck! It's harder than checking to see if your fridge light goes out when you shut the door!
There are of course other mutations standard to the 7" Qee race.. ABS, fully rotating ball-joint arms, removable arms and head for the perfect "stash jar" and a cuteness that can only be Qee.
We're delighted to welcome you as the newest member of Luvocracy, the place to discover, luv, and buy the best products from the people you trust.

3D printers could leave geeks' basements to fly on army rescue missions and build their own aircraft by 2040.
Defence contractor BAe Systems yesterday revealed its predictions for futuristic aircraft technologies, looking to use the additive process of 3D printing to let military drones build unmanned aircraft while on missions.
The drones could use 'super hi-tech' onboard 3D printers to create the miniature flyers, which could make themselves useless if they fell into enemy hands with the installation of dissolving circuit boards.
Basing its speculations on the progress of existing technology, the firm also showed computer-generated clips of a long-range aircraft that can divide into three smaller craft, and a directed energy weapon that could destroy missiles at the speed of light.
It released the four video clips yesterday from its R&D team to offer an unusual insight into "drawing board" technologies that would normally be kept secret.
Nick Colosimo, a futurist and engineering manager within the R&D team, said: "Of course we don't know exactly what sorts of aircraft technologies will be used in 2040 with any certainty, but it's great to be able to show the public some concepts that might be possible through projecting where today's technology could get to.
"BAE Systems has a rich heritage in research and development, and our team builds on literally decades of previous R&D work by thousands of scientists and engineers."
3D printing technology is already usedto serve a variety of purposes, from manufacturing working guns to printing replacement body parts.

As far as I know, UDK can only publish for PC and phone platforms.
Thats where the name of this game came from. Its the name of a hallucinagenic drug the sanema people use during ceremonies. Having some psychadelic post process effects and other wierd visuals is something I am planning to include once I get the features listed into the game. Will probably have the game start with a ceremony involving taking the sakena drug which will then start the vision.
Its Taken me some time to figure that out myself, but the game will be packaged so that it will require no seperate games or progrmas to run. In other words its a game.
Its great to see more explorative, artistic games like this being developed. Btw if your still looking for additional talent in either UDK or 3D Modelling, check out my work on my portfolio site on Samtish.co.uk Give me a shout if you feel I could be any help to the development of this game. My contact details are on the site.
What application you using for the animation?
Thx! Developing the game as part of my final major so expect to see some fast progress (hopefully)

The family grill that's survived years of Arizona summers
Remodelista has made it clear they are all in favor of charcoal grills which they claim provide a hotter flame and richer flavor and we couldn't agree more. However we continue to find ourselves reaching for the convenience and simplicity of gas grills that are much easier to use on a daily basis (we grill a lot).
We'd love to splurge on the Big Green Egg which is both smoker and grill but for now our trusty Weber will have to do.

In these situations, etiquette is vital for keeping your sense of humor and your self-esteem intact. But etiquette is not a behavior that you should just turn on and off. This stuffy French word that translates into getting along with others allows you to put people at ease, make them feel good about a situation, and even improve your reputation.
Etiquette For Dummies approaches the subject from a practical point of view, throwing out the rulebook full of long, pointless lists. Instead, it sets up tough social situations and shows you how to navigate through them successfully, charming everyone with your politeness and social grace. This straightforward, no-nonsense guide will let you discover the ins and outs of:
- Basic behavior for family, friends, relationships, and business
- Grooming, dressing, and staying healthy
- Coping with unexpected stuff like sneezing or feeling queasy
- Maintaining a civilized relationship
- Making friends and keeping them
- Building positive relationships at work
- Communicating effectively
This book shows you how to take on these situations and make them pleasant. It also gives you great advice for tipping appropriately in all types of services and setting stellar examples for your kids.

By the same token, requirements 700 and 703 could be subdivided as well. What do you think? Jean-Jacques.Received on Friday, 24 November 2000 07:51:29 GMT

Conservvative government has Alberta headed in right direction
| Posted: Wednesday, Apr 02, 2014 06:00 am
Dear Editor,
I am a proud Progressive Conservative, and I am proud of the accomplishments of the Progressive Conservative government. Progressive Conservative policies have made Alberta a dynamic and ever-growing province. Alberta�s oil and gas industry is marketing around the world, farmers and ranchers now have expanding markets, small businesses are prospering and all Albertans have every opportunity to succeed.
Alberta has the capacity and foresight to build the infrastructure to accommodate our increasing population and is doing so. Yet the opposition is telling us we need to change.
In all of this, I can�t help but reflect on some quotable quotes:
From David Yager, president of the Wildrose Party, in October 2013: �Let�s face it, Wildrose started out much like (the Reform Party) 25 years ago, as a protest movement. What you get is a collection of people that are disappointed with something for a lot of various reasons and they come together under a new political tent.�
In contrast, from Peter Lougheed: �Our whole approach as a political party was to talk not so much negatively, but we wanted to talk about the future of the province and we wanted to talk positively�.
The Progressive Conservative government has remained positive, has moved Alberta to prominence not only in Canada, but worldwide, and continues to do so today. Progressive Conservative policies have not needed a major overhaul to appeal to Albertans. I say, let�s stay positive � and Progressive Conservative.

I already thought Gomi was his guy if he dropped back down?
he's a legit challenge in either division imho. there are great fights to be made with him at 170, but even greater fights at 155. wish kflo never retired as that was always a rematch i wanted to see at lightweight.
there's also this guy named eddie alvarez who is pretty good and would match up well with sanchez.
well i just thought of the next matchup for BJ
fuck it....bring on melendez!!!
I have zero interest in penn/sanchez II...how bout diego welcome gil or alvarez and bj get gomi in a rematch or face nate diaz.
Ok, fist of all, that picture is friggin weird.
Secondly, if he can make the cut easily, lightweight is probably the best place for him.

Arlington, TX (Sports Network) - Michael Young overcame two errors by hitting the go-ahead RBI single in the seventh inning, lifting Texas over Minnesota, 4-3, in a battle of division leaders.
Josh Hamilton belted his 29th homer of the year for the AL West-leading Rangers, who won their third in a row.
"The last two games we've showed the caliber team we are," Hamilton said. "I go back to three things, we can do all three...we can pitch, we can hit and we can play defense. If we consistently do that on a night to night basis, it's going to be hard to beat us."
One night after a near combined-no hitter, the Rangers used four pitchers to edge the AL Central-leading Twins. Colby Lewis allowed seven hits and three runs over 6 1/3 frames. Darren Oliver (1-1) threw 1 1/3 innings and escaped a jam in the top of the seventh to get the victory. Darren O'Day recorded the final out in the eighth inning and Neftali Feliz pitched the ninth for his 32nd save.
Michael Cuddyer stroked a two-run double in the first inning for Minnesota, which has lost back-to-back games for the first time since August 2-3 at Tampa Bay. The Twins are now 3 1/2 games ahead of the White Sox, who beat Baltimore on Tuesday.
Carl Pavano (15-9) threw his sixth complete game of the season and 13th of his career after allowing eight hits and fanning five batters.
There was a bit of trepidation in the ninth inning. Delmon Young flied out to deep right field leading off. Danny Valencia then hit a ball to right-center field, which was tracked down by a leaping Julio Borbon near the fence. Pinch- hitter Jim Thome was hit by a pitch, but Matt Tolbert fanned in another pinch- hitting role to end the game.
Andres Blanco hit a one-out, ground-rule double to left field, then moved to third on Borbon's groundout. Elvis Andrus walked before Young singled to left field to give the Rangers the lead for good.
Borbon scored on Young's double-play grounder in the third and the Rangers went ahead in the fourth. Hamilton led off with a homer to center field. Bengie Molina doubled with two outs on a ball hit between right fielder Jason Kubel and center fielder Denard Span. Mitch Moreland followed with an infield hit. Blanco's ground-rule double to right-center made it 3-2.
"It's not normal and we pride ourselves on catching the ball," Twins manager Ron Gardenhire said of the miscue between Kubel and Span. "I don't know if it looked like Kubel was calling it and Denard was coming flying in there. He shied off it. Those are things that just can't happen."
The Twins put two runners on with nobody out in the sixth, but came up empty. However, they tied the game in the seventh. Young and Valencia singled in front of Alexi Casilla's double to right field.
After Drew Butera lined out to third base, Oliver came in to shut the door in the inning. Span grounded into a fielder's choice with Valencia out at the plate. Orlando Hudson then hit into another force play.

How to Stay Noticed
Sarah Callender on Jun 12 2013 | Filed under: CRAFT, Inspirations
I love bookstores. But some days, if I enter a bookstore at just the wrong time (i.e. when Ron is on duty), the mere sight of shelves and shelves of books fills me with despair and hopelessness.
Ron (the mean-voiced doubter who sits in the back of my head and whispers nasties in my ear) hisses, Silly little fool. Silly little Nobody Callender thinks she can write a book that will get noticed! Why would yours sell when no one's buying the already-written ones?
Most days I can remember to tell Ron to go suck lemons, but he is right about one thing: there are millions of books out there, many great ones we will never read, many others we will never even notice. But I can't stop writing any more than I can stop breathing or blinking or eating Seattle Chocolates' Coconut Macaroon Truffle Bars. So I figure we should discuss how, in an age where many (myself included) have the attention span of a goldfish, we can write attractive stories that hold readers' attention.
Of course, definitions of What is Attractive vary wildly. You think Bill Clinton or FDR is attractive; I prefer Abe Lincoln. But what attractive people do to us, I think, is pretty consistent from person to person. Same goes for fiction. What makes a story attractive is far less about what the story is, and much more about what it does to readers.
So what does attractive fiction do? I've thunk up three essentials.
Attractive fiction evokes. Sure, sadness and joy, but the more nuanced emotions too: concern, pity, frustration, loneliness, compassion, hope, resignation. We read because it feels good to feel.
Gone Girl had me feeling anger and disgust for the bad guy. Oh! And then for the other bad guy. The Snow Child tapped into the longing and the hope I felt before I became a parent. Reading The Orchardist, I felt frustration and loneliness as the characters failed to communicate that which most needed to be shared.
The most attractive fiction causes us (and allows us) to feel both pleasing and uncomfortable emotions. We humans love to feel stuff . . . unless the stuff we're feeling is ennui and lethargy. We don't enjoy feeling like a bored, over-baked potato when we're reading a story.
Attractive fiction connects. We long to be known. We long to be accepted even and especially after we are known. In reading fiction, we hope to discover that our human experience, our interests, fears and passions aren't freaky-freakshow, that we're not alone in our weirdness.
Liesel, the young burglar in The Book Thief, will risk her safety to read. She needs to read. Really? I'm not the only one? Sunny, in Shine Shine Shine, gets sick and tired of masking her and her family's imperfections. Gosh, yes, I have felt that weariness. Bob, in The Burgess Boys, worries over his neighbor, a woman he hardly knows. I'm like that . . . I thought I was the only one!
Stories become attractive when they reveal quirky, layered, fallible characters. Why? Because we–all of us–are quirky, layered and fallible, and hanging out with characters who illuminate and mirror truths about our selves helps us feel less alone.
Attractive fiction surprises. You know how Cindy Crawford has a mole on her upper lip? A big, brown mole from which whiskers likely sprout? That mole, because it resides on the face of a supermodel, is a surprise. The surprise of that mole gives her a unique, fresh feel that only adds to her beauty.
Or take Lady Gaga. She's attractive (i.e. interesting and intriguing) partly because she may appear clad in balloons or beef. We never know. Our brains think, Que interesante! But what's even more interesante about Lady Gaga is the contrast between her bold fashion and the delicacy of her emotions. Her authenticity. Her sensitivity. Her exterior is bold, flamboyant and confident; that exterior belies the beauty of her very human frailty. I love the surprise of that contrast.
Of course, surprises can be too extreme. The other day, while I was walking to my daughter's school, a crow attacked my head. Just rammed right into the back of my noggin and nearly scared the poop out of me. That was a bad surprise. That surprise made me grab my daughter at school, hurry back home via a different street, and take a 4:00 p.m. shower.
Attractive fiction gives us pleasant surprises, subtle surprises, surprises that do not make us need a shower. It takes a seasoned writer to create a story with just the right amount of surprise and freshness. In A Visit from the Goon Squad, Jennifer Egan surprises us with unique story structures and points of view. And PowerPoint. While some readers likely found those surprises irritating, many others (including Pulitzer Prize judges) embraced the novel's freshness. In this Washington Post article, Ron Charles writes:
If Jennifer Egan is our reward for living through the self-conscious gimmicks and ironic claptrap of postmodernism, then it was all worthwhile. Her new novel, "A Visit From the Goon Squad," is a medley of voices — in first, second and third person — scrambled through time and across the globe with a 70-page PowerPoint presentation reproduced toward the end.
I know that sounds like the headache-inducing, aren't-I-brilliant tedium that sends readers running to nonfiction, but Egan uses all these stylistic and formal shenanigans to produce a deeply humane story about growing up and growing old in a culture corroded by technology and marketing.
We want a story told in a unique way, made vibrant by characters who are as real as the people in our real lives. Just how vibrant, just how experimental, is up to you, dear artist . . . I suggest something slightly less surprising than a crow attack.
What have I missed? What makes you pay attention to a book for more than eight seconds? What does a good story do to you? Do you have a crush on Abe Lincoln, too? Please share your ideas of universally attractive elements of fiction (or hot presidents). And for goodness sake, if you see a crow, do NOT make eye contact. I'm pretty sure my "friendly hello" and good eye contact precipitated the attack.

I like your message but I LOVE your presentation (writing), Sarah. Loovely, as the Brits say.
You nailed it. The books on my shelf, the ones I go back to over and over and over again, connected, evoked, and surprised in some way. It's why they are my favorites!
It's this line - "What makes a story attractive is far less about what the story is, and much more about what it does to readers." - and those three essentials that explain the weird and wide variety of "keeper" books on my shelves. They're all books I really like or love, but the reasons why are varied, and trying to explain it often left me tongue tied. Now I'll just point to this post. :)
Oh, and the crow attack made me think of that old "Seinfeld" episode where a bird flew into the back of Elaine's head. But it also made me think of Hitchcock's "The Birds." :)
For me, attractive fiction moves quickly. It makes us feel, but spares us the detailed description of things. We take a journey with the protagonist without being bogged down with minute details.
Beautiful sentiments, Sarah. I totally agree with all of your attractions. But since I'm a historical fantasy fan, I will add one. I want to be transported. Something about being taken to a world that is at once utterly foreign and comfortingly familiar is a big attraction for me. Historical settings do it for me.
Maybe I can more easily don the skin of a protagonist that could've been me in another era, but could never be me now. Maybe it gives me the separation to know that it's just a byproduct of our time for me to watch two hours of So You Think You Can Dance, but if I'd have lived in another era, I'd be out having meaningful conversations around a campfire, or listing to a singer sing an edda before a blazing longhouse hearth-fire.
Speaking of historical fantasies, crow attacks, and subtlety of surprises, I couldn't help but think of George RR Martin, who is know for his shocking surprises. They have kept me reading, but sometimes I have to take a shower afterward. It's nice to have the extreme for guidelines. Great post, Sarah!
I started reading the Cloud Atlas and when I got to the end of the first part I had to check the pages three or four times to see what the deal was. It ends mid-senten...I almost put it down, but I figured if the first set of characters and writing was compelling, the new set would be too. I'm still in it, I have no idea where it's headed, and that's okay. But for a while there I considered throwing the book into the shower.
Hi Sarah,
Loved your post and agree with you on the three essentials you listed. I'd say another essential of attractive fiction is that it "stays." I've read many books and enjoyed them, but found the ones that keep coming back to me or that I keep thinking about, whether they were the best written or not, still have attracted me. Love your writing style, and look forward to your upcoming novel.
Fantastic post, Sarah! Really great stuff. Jeez! Who knew we all had to watch out for crows?!
Another thing that connects us to characters is change. We change all the time, so we love to watch a character grow and become better.
I admire, but do not have a crush on, Abe Lincoln. Ditto Lady Gaga. I am fascinated by crows but do not make eye contact. They steal souls, you know.
I think readers have a similar resistance to fiction. They know they will feel, connect and be surprised. You would think this would make folks rush to bookstores as if they were Wal-Marts the day before a hurricane.
The opposite is true. Readers resist, precisely because they *will" feel, connect and be surprised. Look at it this way: If you walked through a certain door and you knew that on the other side you would be trapped for a dozen hours, cry and leave emotionally wrung out...would you walk through?
Heck, psychotherapy sessions only last forty-five minutes. A novel is a much longer relationship. When you can have all the drama you want at the office, why would anyone volunteer for a book's worth of emotional roller coaster?
But of course people do. We call them readers, but if you watch them in bookstores they eye novels as warily as models avoiding men in a bar. It takes a lot to break the ice.
That's why openings are so critical. The promise to the reader in the opening lines (experienced in a hook, a voice, an image or an event that intrigues) is a reassuring handshake. It says, this story will be worth your time.
Protagonists who show strength, humility or hope also are a pleasure to meet. I also advise adding warmth as soon as possible. It's like baking cinnamon rolls before your real estate broker brings buyers to your open house. There's comfort somewhere ahead.
Once you've got your readers in your grip, they've walked through the door. They're in for the experience. They may need some coaxing, though. Your job is to make them welcome, even if there is a murder of crows perched nearby on telephone wires.
Uh...why is the doubting voice in your head named Ron? Wait, don't tell me. Make me read to find out.
Completely agree with this. There's enough drama in real life. But, if readers will just open to the first page and get hooked by the rhythm and the words and the people they've been wanting to meet their whole lives (like Sarah :o), how can they resist?
Sarah, you write so well (ever try non-fiction?). But you don't get to the idea of story until the end and that, to me at least, is what attracts people to books. We can go around and around the story vs. character question for hours but while characters bring a story to life, it's the story that pulls readers in. Maybe there's a dimension of literary fiction vs. popular fiction here with character playing a larger role in one and plot being predominant in the other, but when you mention a book to someone, isn't the question people always ask is: "What's it about?" And you answer by telling the story to them. Over and out.
Great reminders! Thanks, Sarah!
I agree with the three essentials.
Abe wasn't too bad on the eyes, but I would have given "Teddy Rose" the three second stare.
Save the cows; eat more chicken.
Brian, I love to read your comments!
Thank you Carmel. I appreciate your reply. Here- I always feel like an ant among giants, or a Padawan with a braid.
Interesting variety of responses to a provocative post, which demonstrates to me that there are many reasons people read. Some read to feel, but some read to escape their emotions. Some want to be transported but others seek to understand their own world and time. Drama at the office might be soothed with a Regency romance or exorcised with dark urban fantasy...or ignored with a night spent watching reruns.
I think a writer's surest hope is to find the story that stirs their personal passions, then write what they want to read and enjoy doing it. What would be the point, otherwise?
Lady Gaga is just flash with no substance. I've always found that to be repulsive and annoying.
Never crushed on Abe, but Carl Sagan, on the other hand...
As for what draws us to good fiction, I've been thinking about that a lot lately, and believe you've covered the biggies. One additional thing I'm drawn to is really smart prose, the kind that makes you wish you'd thought of that metaphor or turn of phrase. But if the evoking/connecting/surprises aren't there, no amount of clever prose will keep me reading.
Next time you go into a bookstore and feel overwhelmed by all those books, find the section where your book would be shelved and visualize it there. Yes, it sounds woo-woo, but somehow I found it empowering and inspiring to do so, sometimes the only optimistic writerly moment on days of being rejected.
BTW, Your blog posts consistently evoke, connect and surprise.
First I want to know where I can get some of those Seattle Chocolates' Coconut Macaroon Truffle Bars because they sound yummy & I hope they are available outside of Seattle. Next I want to know how you came up with the name "Ron" for your bad cop voice because I usually call mine whoever the last mean person was who criticized anything I did & yes that means I talk to people not there. So I guess I agree with Donald Maass, the hook is what gets me to read & the sooner I find the hook, the better. I will put down a murder mystery, no matter how lush the setting, wonderful the prose or cunning the characters, if that dead body doesn't show up soon. Finally, I have had that moment in the bookstore and its awful and its exactly like having a crow land in your hair.
You're so right. In the end, no matter the genre, it's about the human connection. Perhaps in the distant future robots will read stories for the robotic connections, but until then it's about humans. Even if your characters are talking bears it's still about their human-like personas. That's why your attraction to Lincoln is an interesting one and one I agree with completely. There was in him a humanity that still reaches across the decades. His handy wit, understated intellect, subtle compassion, and compelling inner-strength are attributes that make him both compelling and attractive. Even the stiff portraits of the day couldn't hide that which was within. The Gettysburg Address makes me tingle inside. How I'd love an evening with the man who penned those words.
What a great, quirky post, Sarah! Lol at the "go suck some lemons." I haven't said that to anyone yet, but now that I think about it the thought is quite unpleasant. I'll be sure to save it for a special occasion. I certainly hope you're okay after that crow attack too! Part of me wants to laugh and part of me wants to hug you for it. I think those are the basic emotions you were talking about in the post ;) Got em covered!
If I may ask a question, out of curiosity: what if a writer chose not to write about emotions that made you feel bad? Like sadness and anger. Could they still write an effective novel? Could love and compassion be enough or do we always have to torment our reader like The Fault in Our Stars? Some books are definitely sadder than others, but I wonder if it's possible to be a writer who sticks to one side of the spectrum only, the positive side, kind of like Elizabeth Gilbert with Eat, Pray, Love.
Sarah, I always love your posts. I agree with the 3 things. There are characters that drew me in and never let me go. Emma Hart and Blackie - Barbara Taylor Bradford told their story so well I still feel like they are real people. My heart hurt when I finished the story. If she wrote a new story for them, I'd be first in line.
Abe? Nah, I'll take Bad Boy Bill. He is such a rogue, but he's so darned cute it's okay. Story of my life. Love those bad boys! If anyone has any idea why some of us are attracted to that which is not good for us, please share. LOL
Crows? Yuck! Yesterday, I was feeling very Midwesternly, homebody, little miss healthy - stopped and bought fresh food from a produce stand for Mom and me. I turned around to go back to my car and saw a gray bird hanging from the car's grille. Fortunately, a clerk at the stand took pity on me and removed the poor thing. If I had been attacked by your crow, I would have passed out!
Great post!!
I'm going to quote alex wilson here, because he said it all: "I like your message but I LOVE your presentation (writing), Sarah. " - I'm pretty sure I'd read anything YOU wrote (heading to your site now).
I am regularly terrified that a bird on the street will fly into my head; thanks for letting me know this may actually happen one day. At least it sounds like you both survived.
Wonderful piece! Will share it with all and sundry.
I know the crow isn't the point of your story, but most likely it was a blackbird. That's how they defend their nests in spring.
I'm with you on Abe Lincoln.

Love is something unconditional. It accepts me for who I am. Unlike hostile and judgmental people, love understands why and how I feel.
First love feels sparkly and dumb, like you could do anything in the world and never die.

For me, love is when the other person walks away and i feel like i just lost the other half of me. When the weirdest things we do don't even bother each other. We know each other by heart and never get sick of each other. Always have each others' backs no matter what happens, even if it's a break-up...
Love always feels like indigestion to me...oh wait, it is.
Love should feel rewarding and inspiring. To me it feels like a mystery.
love is perfect, when you are in love you just know it. You feel the others heart beat in yours, you feel him/her in your heart. You know when they miss you, you know when they are lonely, you know when they hurt. Its perfect nothing like it in this world.
Warm and cuddly, with a song on my lips and a sonnet in my heart.
Warm, happy, stimulating!

Atte André Jensen wrote:
A friend of mine has absolute pitch and he came to jam with our band
once. We had tuned down our guitars and basses to D. He played bass and
tried to learn a couple of riffs, which was impossible. He learned by
listening, but when he tried to play, the fretboard didn't make any
sence to him. All the notes were in the wrong place. We gave up after a
little while.
My understanding of having "absolute pitch" is that it cannot be
disregarded. It's just there, like the ability to see colors.
I can wake up some mornings and "know" that a melody I hear in my head
is in its' right pitch. And most of the time it is, when I check. But
that's still far from absolute pitch.
Another note on the subject:
Some people who have had absolute pitch all their lives may find that
when they get older their sence of pitch gets out of tune. I know this
happened to guys like Alexander Glazunov (Russian composer) and
Sviatoslav Richter (Russian pianist). How fun would that be?

proposed used car lot- West side of La Canada
Dear Supervisor Day, We are writing to express concern about the proposed used car lot on the West side of La Canada, just North of River Road. This lot is immediately adjacent to the Casa Adobes neighborhood. I am told the Board of Supervisors will consider a rezone of this property at your meeting tomorrow. While we understand that this rezoning may occur, We would urge that the following conditions be considered: * The ingress/egress from the used car lot must be on La Canada and La Canada only. There should be no access from Roller Coaster. I, and a number of my neighbors are very concerned about "test drives" being taken through the neighborhood. This could also impact the Lulu Walker Elementary school on Roller Coaster as well. Our preference would be that only a right hand turn could be made from the lot, forcing traffic onto La Canada, heading south. This would keep the traffic out of our neighborhood. * Secondly, We are concerned about the lights at night that will be required to provide security for this lot. Many of the homes in our neighborhood are on 1/2 to 1 acre lots. Because of this our neighborhood reflects a rural residential development. We would strongly urge you to consider restricting the amount of light pollution that comes from this car lot. Ideally, a used car lot is not an appropriate land use contiguous to a residential area that is rural in nature. However, if this zoning must proceed, We certainly hope you will consider amendments that address the points we have raised here.

Dozens gathered in support of the Ealey family Tuesday, April 22, 2014 in Foley. A memorial service for Ron Ealey, who was killed at the end of a high speed chase April 16, 2014 in Foley was held. Ron's family and friends came and shared stories and insight on him.
"I just want to tell Ron that I love him so much and I know that he's hearing me. I love you so much Ron. I miss you. It was just awesome to have a son like you," Ron's father, David told those in attendance.
Ron Ealey was killed six days ago in a violent crash…not far from the store where he worked. In a picturesque Baldwin County pasture behind that store, family members took a few minutes to tell us a little bit about the kind of person Ron was.
"I remember the time I was hurt and he said in his goofy voice, 'You want to go get some ice cream?' And I would just laugh so hard. That was the type of person Ron was," recalled Ron's sister, Lori.
"He really was a people person. To know Ron was like meeting a best friend that you longed for," said his long-time friend, Chris Matthews of Miami.
"We just have a lot of respect for Ron…an awful lot of respect and what a fine young man he was and this is the least we could do is come here and pay our respects for him," said family friend, Dorris Hearn.
That sentiment echoed through the crowd that gathered. The Ealey family moved to Baldwin County from Miami, Florida just two weeks ago. They did so at the encouragement of Ron so that they could be close to one another.
"I am grateful for one thing," his sister told the crowd. "He found true happiness down here. Sad to say goodbye like this, but I know you are watching over us."
And for all of those in the community who have shown their support for the Ealeys during this time of loss, Ron's little "big" brother as Ron called him had a message.
"I just want to thank everyone out there sincerely," David Ealey, Jr. said. "It means so much to us. You guys have been here. I've never seen a community like this. In Miami you have a party. That's about it. Up here everyone truly supports each other and I really appreciate it."
So on a beautiful spring day, those closest to Ron let go of the man they knew here on earth, but at the same time hold on to treasured memories of the brother, the father, the son and the friend they'd all come to love. Dozens of purple balloons were set free to symbolize those feelings.
A memorial fund has been set up for the Ealey family to help with the funeral and other ongoing expenses. You can contribute by going to any Centennial Bank and asking for the Ron Ealey Memorial Fund.

By Kevin P. McGowan
April 7 --Denying a petition by skycaps for United Airlines Inc. and US Airways Inc., the U.S. Supreme Court April 7 declined to review an appeals court ruling that the Airline Deregulation Act preempts the skycaps' Massachusetts common law claims challenging the airlines' imposition of a $2 curbside baggage-handling fee that allegedly sharply reduced passengers' tips to skycaps.
The justices left intact a U.S. Court of Appeals for the First Circuit decision that the Airline Deregulation Act preempts the skycaps' claims of unjust enrichment and tortious interference with advantageous relations. The federal airline statute provides a state "may not enact or enforce a law, regulation, or other provision having the force and effect of law related to a price, route, or service of an air-carrier."
In seeking Supreme Court review, the skycaps asked the justices to resolve whether a common law claim, as opposed to a state statute or regulation, is a "provision having the force and effect of law" within the meaning of the Airline Deregulation Act.
Federal circuit courts are "intractably divided" on the meaning of "service" within the federal law's preemption provision, which shouldn't be interpreted to include curbside check-in by skycaps who depend upon passengers' tips for their livelihoods, the skycaps said.
The First Circuit's ruling that the skycaps can't pursue common law claims regarding airline curbside fees that reduced their tips because most passengers mistakenly assumed skycaps pocketed the $2 fees can't be squared with Supreme Court precedent regarding federal preemption, the skycaps said.
In separate briefs opposing review, United and US Airways said Supreme Court review is unwarranted because every federal circuit court to address the issue correctly has ruled the Airline Deregulation Act preempts state common law claims related to airline prices and services.
By arguing that common law claims somehow are excluded from the Airline Deregulation Act's broad preemption clause, the skycaps "wholly ignore" the legislative history and policy underlying the federal statute, United Airlines said.
In their petition for review, the United and US Airways skycaps said their case raises important questions on whether the Airline Deregulation Act's preemption provision "extends beyond state positive regulation" to bar claims based on "common law duties" and whether the federal act's reference to "service" includes "services that are separate from the point-to-point provision of transportation" and that are not mentioned in a passenger's air carriage contract.
The First Circuit in 2011 had denied American Airlines skycaps' challenge under the Massachusetts Tip Act to the $2 curbside package fee, citing the Airline Deregulation Act's preemption of state statutes that affect airline prices and services (DiFiore v. Am. Airlines, Inc., 646 F.3d 81, 17 WH Cases2d 1153 (1st Cir. 2011); 101 DLR A-1, 5/25/11). The Supreme Court subsequently denied review in DiFiore (228 DLR AA-2, 11/28/11).
The skycaps, who filed a nationwide suit challenging United's and US Airways' imposition of curbside baggage fees, alleged common law claims of unjust enrichment and tortious interference, contending the airlines were drastically reducing the skycaps' compensation by charging passengers for curbside check-in and leading passengers to believe they should no longer tip the skycaps.
Calling it a matter of first impression for the circuit, the First Circuit in July 2013 ruled the Airline Deregulation Act's preemption clause covers state common law claims because they are provisions "having the force of law" within the federal statute's meaning. The First Circuit cited DiFiore in holding curbside check-in is part of the "service" covered by the Airline Deregulation Act so common law claims affecting such service are preempted.
The skycaps had suggested the Supreme Court defer deciding whether to grant their petition until it decided Northwest Inc. v. Ginsberg, No. 12-462, in which the justices were considering whether the Airline Deregulation Act preempts an airline customer's covenant of good faith and fair dealing claim against Northwest Airlines for terminating his elite frequent flyer status. The court then could grant review or vacate and order the First Circuit to reconsider based on whatever the court decided in Ginsberg, the skycaps said.
On April 2, the Supreme Court unanimously ruled in Ginsberg the Airline Deregulation Act preempted the erstwhile frequent flyer's state common law claim to the extent it sought to enlarge the airline's obligations under the contact to which the parties had voluntarily agreed ( 2014 BL 89767 (2014)).
The court in Ginsberg said state common law claims are subject to Airline Deregulation Act preemption because they have the "force and effect of law" similar to state statutes and regulations.
Supreme Court review also is warranted because federal appeals courts are split on the meaning of "service" under the Airline Deregulation Act's preemption clause, the skycaps said.
In contrast to the First Circuit, the Ninth Circuit has ruled the federal law's reference to service refers only to "the prices, schedules, origins and destinations" of "point-to-point transportation" provided by the regulated airlines, the skycaps said. The Third Circuit has ruled the federal law's preemption clause was only meant to bar states' "public utility-style regulation" of covered airlines, the skycaps said.
But the Fifth Circuit and four other federal appeals courts have adopted a more expansive definition of "service" to include those items "appurtenant and necessarily included" in the contract between the passenger and the airline, the skycaps said.
The First Circuit's decisions in DiFiore and the instant case widen the circuit split by adopting a definition of service that is even broader than the Fifth Circuit's approach and sweeps in baggage fees for curbside check-in that have no relation to a passenger's contract with the airline, the skycaps said.
The Supreme Court should grant review to "address the disagreement between the circuits over the definitions of 'prices' and 'services' in the [Airline Deregulation Act] and resolve whether activities such as pay-per-bag curbside baggage handling are 'services' " within the meaning of the federal law, the skycaps said.
The First Circuit decision should be reviewed and reversed because it misreads the scope of the Airline Deregulation Act's preemption clause and because the result can't be reconciled with prior Supreme Court rulings that comparable federal statutes don't preempt common law claims, the skycaps said.
Shannon Liss-Riordan of Lichten & Liss-Riordan in Boston was counsel of record for the skycaps.
In its brief opposing review, United Airlines said contrary to the skycaps' argument, the federal circuit courts do not disagree about the scope of the Airline Deregulation Act's preemption clause.
"The courts of appeals have held uniformly, and correctly, that the [Airline Deregulation Act] preempts state common-law requirements that relate to airline price or service," United said. "And no court has ever doubted the self-evident proposition that a state rule like the one at issue in this case--which governs the nature of the fee imposed by an airline for the movement of luggage onto an airplane--does relate to airline price and service."
The petitioners are asking the Supreme Court to "break new ground" to the extent they argue the Airline Deregulation Act's preemption clause should be construed not to apply to common law claims affecting an airline pricing or service decision, United said.
In a separate brief opposing review, US Airways said the alleged circuit conflict over how to define "service" under the Airline Deregulation Act is irrelevant because "curbside baggage-check fees would be deemed a 'service' under any circuit's definition."
In any event, the Supreme Court decision in Rowe v. New Hampshire Motor Transport Association, 552 U.S. 364 (2008), supersedes any federal circuit disagreement on the meaning of "service" under the Airline Deregulation Act, US Airways said.
In Rowe, the court ruled the Federal Aviation Administration Authorization Act's preemption provision, which is similar to that under the Airline Deregulation Act, reaches all state laws that have a "significant impact" related to Congress's "deregulatory and preemption-related objectives," US Airways said.
That certainly includes matters such as airlines' decisions on curbside check-in fees, which is an "element of bargained-for labor in the passenger relationship that is a subject of competition between the airlines," US Airways said.
Charles A. Rothfeld of Mayer Brown in Washington was counsel of record for United Airlines. Jonathan D. Hacker of O'Melveny & Myers in Washington was counsel of record for US Airways.

Traffic Quota Problem Remoting Framework 4.2.1
I recently installed the latest version of ISPConfig and upgraded the remoting framework from 4.2 to 4.2-1 beta
I use the ISPConfig Billing System v1 with the remoting framework.
The problem is the Traffic quota.
When I upgraded to remoting framework 4.2-1, when a client purchases a hosting account it sets there traffic quota at 0 instead of -1, or unlimited. Which is causing problems because they cant upload files until i change it.
Is there anything I can change in the remoting frameworks remote directory to fix this?
At least change the quota limit back to -1 easily somehow? ...until I can create a traffic button and field in the product form within the billing software.
I did notice the phone number thing was fixed.
Any advise on the traffic quota issue would be appreciated greatly. Luckily I caught it early and it only affected one client.
Thanks guys,
Inside of ispconfig_web.lib.php I found:
if(empty($params["web_traffic"])) $params["web_traffic"] = 0;
make this change in:
I think I'll just add a checkbox and field option for on the billing software. I'm not to fast with php forms that i haven't made myself so if anyone knows of any linux based phpform editing tools i may not know about...please let me know.
I'm still new to ISPConfig .pkg Development hence my delay on other ispconfig pkg's....tell me, do u just rename the zip file to the pkg file and upload it with the update manager?
I know there's no variable docs or API command catalogue
If anyone could post some links to any ispconfig 2 and 3 developer documentation that would be bad ass!
