Dayton 'willing to look at' Voter ID bill but wants quarterly finance reports
Gov. Mark Dayton said today he'd be willing to look at a Voter ID bill working its way through the Legislature.
That caught the attention of many Capitol watchers because the bill — which would require voters to show identification before voting — has seemed anathema to Dayton and DFLers in the past.
But Dayton said any election reform bill he signs must have provisions for quarterly campaign finance reporting — a more frequent reporting period than now required.
He was interviewed on MPR by Cathy Wurzer.

Forget quarterly reporting.
Put Ranked Choice Voting in the deal instead.
Actually, if a voter identification law really treated voting as a right, and really required every eligible voter to have a identification card -that is, required local governments to PROVIDE cards for everyone, and to renew them whenever necessary - it might not be a bad law. In fact, it might even increase voter turnout.
But that would be a big "if." And can you imagine how much money it would cost to do it right? Here's what I can't imagine: Republicans of the Minnesota Legislature voting to fund this law adequately, so as to make voting easier for everyone.
No, Minnesota Republicans want to make it HARDER to vote, by giving more power to voting officials and more responsibility - and maybe even more costs - to voters. Reduced voter turnout is their goal. How could it be more obvious?
It needs to be repeated that there is no credible threat to the integrity of our elections from illegal voters. However, crooked election officials are a real threat. It's not the people who CAST votes who can really change the outcome of an election, even if a few actually do cheat - and there haven't been ever enough cheaters to worry about in the past. No, the people who can really change the outcome of an election are the ones who COUNT the votes. We should never stop watching them.
Photo ID some time hence:
It's voting time at the polls and the woman hands the voting judge her card..."This is you?" says the judge. "Can't recognize you...must be somebody else's card. Come back when you have the correct I.D."
The identity card is proposed as a new necessity to move freely in our society; sponsored by a Republican who generally hate government intervention, regulation...wow.
Voting itself essentially, will be limited by a required passport at the voting booth...or should we be grateful it is not a brand on the arm or a chip under the flesh?
Is it to be a 'qualified' democracy now where trust and credibility is aspired-to, in the process... but is the ghost of so many closed societies that previously used it to gain control and separate citizens from each other. Once we start down that road...what next?
I look at Kiffmeyer's face heading an earlier article. She looks now, nothing like an earlier portrait. (Put a straw hat on her head with a price tag dangling and she could almost pass for that dowdy, Grand OL' Opry comic, Minnie Pearl?)
Time does that to us and identity cards will not be a one-shot deal. The human face changes...puffy at times or gaunt; time itself too often the trickster. No one identity will ever reveal who one really is.Tomorrow you may wear another face; another I.D. Count on it...so here's looking at you KIff?

This may seem like a weird question, but does it bother anyone to see lightbulbs under their pendants? I like the look of the "dome" pendants over our kitchen island and table (look like inverted bowls with the lightbulbs inside, open on the bottom). But I was wondering if you're sitting under them at the island and table, or working under them, would being able to see the bare lightbulbs be glaring or distracting? I'd appreciate your experience and thoughts on this. (I'll cross post this on the kitchen forum as well.) |
Follow-Up Postings:
I see lightbulbs under floor lamps, table lamps, ceiling spots and pendants. And visible bulbs are part of the design of most chandeliers. I don't see a problem. For your application you should consider using dimmers to control light output if they will work with the bulbs. |

We have no access to your text and/or source documents. We would need morer information.
This looks like your thesis statement:
Herodotus describes the Nile as important because without the Nile, the people wouldn't be able to survive.
As you think about supporting arguments, and research your text and primary documents, look for:
annual flooding
irrigation and drinking water
You'll need to explain each of the above.
Ms. Sue is right. Only one part of this is your thesis statement (read: ONE sentence):
Herodotus referred to the Nile River the way he did because it is quite true, the river is the most important physical feature in Egypt. Herodotus describes the Nile as important because he believes that without the Nile, the people wouldn't be able to survive without the river for all of its water. He was fascinated with the idea of the Nile's annual flood that brought water to the fields.
As a whole, what you wrote is very squishy and vague. You should take the one sentence Ms. Sue pointed out and build on it as she explained.
I know my writing is always squishy and vague :/ i was never really am good at writing. but the important thing is that now i know what i have to do
Thanks a lot everyone
You'll do fine. What Ms. Sue pointed out is the need for you to get specific!! Now that you know what to do, go get an A! =)
You're very welcome, Mel.
When I was in Egypt about 30 years ago, I saw people washing their clothes and taking baths in the Nile. Fields were irrigated with simple hand turned water wheels. It was amazing to see that Egypt is sheer desert -- except for a narrow strip along the Nile where crops flourished from the irrigation and rich soil. On one side of the road paralleling the river was lush farmland; on the other side was pure sand and villages set several hundred feet back from the farms.

Title: | Chief Justice Roberts (A Preliminary Assessment) |
Author: | Loewy, Arnold H. |
Abstract: | In "Chief Justice Roberts (A Preliminary Assessment)", Professor Loewy explores Chief Justice John Roberts time as chief justice as both a leader and a jurist in his own right. Loewy finds that while Roberts does not stand out as a leader now, his influence may increase if the court is filled with more like-minded justices. As a jurist, however, Loewy provides a critical analysis of his major opinions in criminal procedure, free speech, religion, and federalism. During this analysis, Loewy finds that while Roberts stays consistent with the Reinquist Court on issues of criminal procedure, he may differ from the previous court in federalism issues. |

Appeals Court reverses dismissal of MBC case against institutions |
By Vicki Brown, Word&Way News Writer A reversal of one part of a decision rendered in Cole County Circuit Court may return the Missouri Baptist Convention's case against five related agencies to that court for resolution. In a preliminary opinion issued May 31, the Missouri Appeals Court for the Western District reversed Cole County Circuit Court Judge Thomas Brown's March 24, 2004, decision to dismiss the MBC's legal action against The Baptist Home, Missouri Baptist University, Missouri Baptist Foundation, Windermere Baptist Conference Center and Word&Way. The five agencies can request a rehearing before the appellate court or ask the court to transfer the case to the Missouri Supreme Court. If the appellate court turns down the request, the entities themselves can ask the Supreme Court to consider the case. Deadline to request the rehearing is June 15. If the entities choose not to pursue the option or the courts turn them down, the case will return to Judge Brown. Currently, a second case, which the MBC filed on Oct. 25, 2004, is pending in Cole County Circuit Court under Judge Richard Callahan. If the first case is returned to Cole County, the two lawsuits likely would be combined. "The tradition is to combine the youngest case with the oldest," Foundation attorney Larry Tucker said. In 2000 and 2001, the five institutions changed their charters to allow each entity to elect its own trustees. In the past, the convention had elected board members. The MBC continues to seek to overturn those revised charters. The MBC Executive Board and six representative churches filed legal action against the five entities in August 2002. In his March decision, Judge Brown ruled the plaintiffs did not have standing — the legal right — to represent the convention to file the lawsuit. In its May 31 opinion, the appellate court said the Executive Board has the legal right to sue as a representative of the convention because it is composed of members and members elect its officers. Judge Brown was correct in dismissing the board from the suit as an independent corporation, the appellate court noted. However, the court ruled that the six churches — Springhill Baptist Church, Springfield; Oakwood Baptist Church, Kansas City; Concord Baptist Church, Jefferson City; and First Baptist churches of Branson, Bethany and Arnold — do not have standing. The convention had sought to amend the original petition by substituting individual messengers for the six churches. On April 7, 2004, Judge Brown denied the request and allowed his March ruling to stand. Convention attorneys filed a notice of appeal on April 16. The appellate court noted Judge Brown correctly determined that messengers, not churches, are members of the convention. "The trial court correctly analyzed the question of membership in accordance with the constitution and bylaws of the convention," the opinion noted. MBC attorneys had argued that the convention often interprets the governing documents to mean that churches are members. MBC attorneys compared the relationship to representative government — churches send messengers to the convention as representatives or agents. The opinion noted that under Missouri law, the courts must consider only the contract — in this case, the convention's constitution and bylaws — unless the contract is ambiguous. The court determined the MBC governing documents clearly refer to messengers as members. "While the contract doesn't speak directly to the issue of who 'members' are…it sufficiently defines the character of the organization to allow an interpretation of this issue," the court said. "The aggregate of the convention is not individual churches, defined by the constitution as wholly autonomous, but is the messengers in attendance at the annual meetings." "The opinion confirms what we argued — that churches are not members," Tucker said. However, the opinion did not specify which messengers would be qualified to represent the convention. "We can't tell who should represent the convention based on the opinion," he said. Should only convention officers or board members represent the MBC? If so, would representatives be limited to those who were serving at the time the lawsuit was filed or to those who currently serve? Should people who had served at any time in the convention's history be allowed to represent it? What about individuals who simply attend and vote at annual meetings? A court may be asked to determine eligibility, Tucker said. The convention also challenged Judge Brown's ruling that the MBC is not a member of the university's corporation and his dismissal of the Missouri Secretary of State from the case. According to Tucker, the university ruling remains a valid decision but cannot be considered as final because the case has been returned to the lower court. The secretary of state remains a party to the legal action, again because the lower court will reconsider it. The MBC included the secretary of state's office because the convention alleges that the office should not have filed the entities' amended charters. |

Problems with ifcond in Form Processor Pro
I'll make this gentle...
I'm using a script called form processor pro (Homepage) http://www.email-form.com/ I'm using the php version thus is why I am posting here.
Well it seems that it is possible to use a Ifcond in between your form tags to set and change field values etc. This is what I'm trying to do:
Code:<form name="newsletter" method="POST" action="formprocessorpro.php"> <select name="subscribe" style="position:absolute;left:434px;top:365px;width:100px;z-index:110"> <option value="1">Subscribe</option> <option value="0">Unsubscribe</option> </select> <ifcond (([subscribe] == [1]), ([_browser_out = subscribe.html]),([_browser_out = unsubscribe.html]))> <ifcond (([subscribe] == [1]), ([_send_email1 = emailin-subscribe.txt]),([_send_email1 = emailin-unsubscribe.txt]))> <ifcond (([subscribe] == [1]), ([_send_email2 = emailout-subscribe.txt]),(_send_email2 = emailout-unsubscribe.txt]))> <input name="re_subemail" type="text" style="position:absolute;width:200px;left:384px;top:304px;z-index:112"> <input name="submit" type="submit" value="Subscribe/Unsubscribe" style="position:absolute;left:383px;top:402px;z-index:114"> </form>
I don't think the syntax of the ifcond lines is correct.
Here's what the docs say for this statement.
Code:5. IF condition ifcond ((expr1),(expr2),(expr3)) - evaluates and print result to expr2 if expr1 evaluates to TRUE, and expr3 if expr1 evaluates to FALSE Example: [<ifcond (([Number1] > [Number2]), ([Number3+10]),([Number3]))>], Number1 = 125 Number2 = 100 Number3 = 50 Result: 60 NOTE: you can use this function for more sophisticated conditions. For example: if value payment = cc then _browser_out = credit-card-processing.html if not then another condition etc.
Code:Ticket Subject : IfCond Problems in FormProcessorPro Reply: We would like to inform you that you should use "==" instead "=" Here is an example: <ifcond (([value High_Gloss] == [Ordered]), ([value High_Gloss_Price] = [0.99]),([value High_Gloss_Price] = [0.00]))>
The script that handles the form is in php and I will post the part that handles the ifcond here:
PHP Code:function ifcond ($cond, $res1, $res2)
if ($cond) {
return sprintf("%s", $res1);
} else {
return sprintf("%s", $res2);
That's all I have folks please help me to figure out this ifcond statement.

it's not really anything to do with PHP, so this is pure guessing, but their example uses 'value' before the assignments and []s around both sides, yours doesn't....?
vsPHP Code:
[_send_email1 = emailin-unsubscribe.txt]
PHP Code:
[value High_Gloss_Price] = [0.99]

Tried it with the "value" in place...like stated above but still nothing. Even tried it with the brackets. Still nothing. I actually copied there example (cut&paste) and just changed the field names and still nothing.
Since the script is php that is parsing the html form it should be in the way php reads it (am I not correct?)
I zipped the entire php script formprocessor.php to a zip file so maybe some one can look at the entire code and tell me what's going on.
Thanks in advance,
B Watford

This article appears to be written like an advertisement. (July 2014) |
Douglas R. Casey (/ˈkeɪsi/) is an American-born libertarian author and the founder and chairman of Casey Research, a provider of subscription financial analysis. Since 1979 he has published the monthly investment newsletter The International Speculator. He also contributes to other newsletters including The Casey Report, a geopolitically-oriented publication.
Casey graduated from Georgetown University in 1968.[1]
Casey's first book The International Man (1978) was designed to show readers how to make the most of their personal freedom and global financial opportunities.[2]
His 1979 book Crisis Investing (1979)[3] was listed at #1 on the New York Times Best Seller list for a total of 12 non-consecutive weeks.[4][5]
Casey is a contributor to various financial websites, and to free market online magazines such as WorldNetDaily, LewRockwell.com and the libertarian print publication Liberty. He espouses anarcho-capitalist views.
Casey supported Ron Paul's run for president in 2008.[6] In 2009 he gave a speech titled My Misadventures in the Third World in which he outlined plans to privatize a small country and take it public on the New York Stock Exchange.[7][8]
In 2010 he inspired a project titled International Man, building on the legacy of his first book to show individuals how to internationalize to gain personal freedom. Using the connective power of the Internet, the project includes a real-time global network of freedom-seekers, investors, adventurers, speculators and expatriates looking to live an international lifestyle.[9] The investor advocates the United States government default on its national debt to punish the bondholders who sponsored the heavy borrowing that he affirms will commit the future generations of Americans to long-term 'indentured servitude'. He states the bankruptcy of America is inevitable and implied by the true liabilities of the general government which he estimates is upwards of $100 trillion when all Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation bank deposits and other off-budget items are included.[10]
In 2012 he published Totally Incorrect: Conversations with Doug Casey.[11]
Casey has described Roman Catholicism, to which he formerly adhered, as "a cannibalistic death-cult," and Objectivism and Marxism as secular religions.[12]

The variety I have is called longkeeper from tradewindsfruit.
I have not grown long keeping types before so need to know when to start/plant them. This is a late season determinate so most of the fruit should start to ripen close to the end of the season. Also how do you know when to pick them as you don't want them to completely ripen on the vine. Do share if you have experience with this variety. |

Did some more research. Seems like late spring early summer would be good to plant in ground. |
I start them at the same time I start my other tomato seeds. I transplant them into the garden at the same time too. But we live in a cooler zone than you do and always have green tomatoes on the vine when we get our first frost. I hope that helps. Betsy |
- Posted by greensingh z6b south jersey (My Page) on Tue, Mar 1, 11 at 17:47
thanks for the reply. We definitely do have a slightly longer season. The last frost is after mid October. If these were indeterminate then I would probably plant them along with the regulars. I think I will plant a couple and stagger them and see how they compare. Any tips on storage? |

Place one sheet phyllo on work surface, and use a pastry brush to coat one half of it with coconut oil then sprinkle butter with about a tsp sugar. Fold in half lengthwise, and brush top with more coconut oil sprinkling again with about 1 tsp sugar. Fold in half again to make 4-inch strip of dough. Brush strip with coconut oil, sprinkle with about a tsp sugar, then spoon about 2 Tbs. nut mixture on corner of bottom edge. Fold corner across to make a small triangle, then fold up like a flag, enclosing nut mixture in triangle of phyllo. Brush both sides of phyllo triangle with coconut oil, then place on prepared baking sheet. Repeat process with remaining phyllo sheets, butter, and nut mixture. Bake about 20-22 minutes, or until triangles are golden. Transfer to wire rack, and cool at least 10 minutes before serving. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Working Title: My Kung Fu is stronger than your...Boxing?:
From YKTTW
"Some films insist that their Average Joe, didn't-train-in-Tibet or live in a French-Ghetto hero can upstage and beat any fighting style because his rough and tumble streetwise fisticuffs is either more resourceful, more tenacious or less "frilly" than the competition. Never mind that their opponents weren't exactly studying ballet, and usually have years of training over the hero."
You know, most informed people would agree that actual fighting experience DOES beat "martial arts training" in real life. Especially the type that you would do in Tibet.
Sci Vo
: Pulled this:
An exception occurs in the classic Bruce Lee movie
Fist of Fury
, where Lee's character beats both a Russian boxing champ and a Japanese karate master using Kung Fu, thus proving it to be the best fighting style on Earth.
...because it would only be worth noting if a Kung Fu movie actually
use this trope.
: Is it worth noting the trope could have a side of
Mighty Whitey
to it, in that the brawler is almost always a good ol' American and the Fancy Martial Artist is almost always a foreigner?
Sci Vo
: Absolutely. I was thinking the exact same thing during the
, and just got distracted and forgot to post that.
BT The P
: Bruce Lee actually believed in this one, to an extent. He studied western boxing, amongst other things, as part of his training, because of its emphasis on speed. Jeet Kune Do was his attempt to free the martial arts of class divisions and style conflicts, and distill it back down to "fight the other guy, not his techniques".
Subverted by
Indiana Jones
Raiders Of The Lost Ark
: a menacing, veiled Arab swings a scimitar around in a fancy pattern; Indy simply sighs and shoots him (producing laughs from the audience every time). See
: I don't get how the
Indiana Jones
example fits, it seems more a subversion for
Why Don't Ya Just Shoot Him?
Implausible Fencing Powers
, since it has no actual fist fighting in it.
Eric DVH
: I agree, he doesn't even use good 'ol fisticuffs to dispatch the guy. Still, Indy DOES exemplify this trope pretty often, understadable considering that Indy's drawn straight from the adventure pulps that this trope originates in.
Ken in Duluth: The Film "Marlowe" starring James Garner also had a scene fitting this trope. Bruce Lee is sent to Garner's office in an attempt to beat the snot out of him. Lee jump kicks a ceiling light to demonstrate his prowess. Garner makes a couple snarky remarks and runs out of the room and heads up to the roof with Lee following him. Garner is caught near the edge of the roof when he tells Lee something along the lines of how good a dancer he is. Lee gets angry, does a flying kick which Garner ducks out of the way, and ends up flying off the roof to presumably his death on the street below. In later interviews, Garner made the claim he was the only person to beat Bruce Lee in a filmed fight.
: Ok, I'm cutting the bile out of the
Die Hard 4
example, here's the original.
In the former case, spouting the sickeningly racist "enough of this Kung Fu shit" before beating Mai in a manner no unlike the wife bashers that he has probably arrested over the years. Gee, judging from how well you do it, we can see WHY Holly Mclane left you, you Asian hating piece of wife beating white trash!!
Earnest: Ok, cutting this flamebait out again.
Ronin Aquila
, I don't know if this movie is a particular
Berserker Button
for you, but please keep a cool head and natter in the discussion page. Remember the
MST3K Mantra
Huh? "Racist"? Ket alone "
" so? (not that racism gomes in a non-sickening kind) How is Kung Fu a race?
Kung Fu is not a race, but the Pride of Chinese Warrior Culture. The fact that he
to insult it equates to insulting the
Entire Chinese Race
, making John McClane a dumb racist who deserves to die.
Ronin Aquila: It's not just this movie: I have NO patience for ANY insult to Chinese Warrior Culture by a self-proclaimed
Mighty Whitey
in film, NO MATTER HOW SEEMINGLY MINOR. As a Chinese Martial Artist, ANY tolerance for such insults is tantamount to saying "thank you for invading China and destroying our heritage" to white guys who STILL think their ancestors did the right thing, and hence I will show NONE for them.
Rogue 7
: Odd, considering your name's Japanese. And go ahead and insult Americans all you like. God knows we deserve it. The Chinese ain't exactly covering themselves in humanitarian glory these days. Break out the shotgun, ma. We got us here a troll.
Kind of bugs me... when did
Le Parkour
actually turn into a martial art?
Rann: Probably when movies started treating it that way. While the kicks and punches thrown may not be anything special, when they're thrown after running along a wall or kicking off the ceiling, it comes off as a fighting style.
Rann: Y'know, I've been thinking, this isn't all that much of a
Mighty Whitey
related trope, because isn't every time a non-Western martial arts movie has some character who learned his fighting style "on the mean streets" just an example of Good Old Fisticuffs with an Asian spin? Hell, to a certain extent, that's the entire point of Jet Li's
, that Chinese Good Old Fisticuffs > Western Trained Fighters.
Wascally Wabbit
: I haven't seen the examples in question, but I agree.
Killer Rabbit
: OK, is this when a "rough and tumble" fighter beats a more "sophisticated" fighter, when a kung-fu fighter is beaten by a boxer, or just the appearance of good ol' western fist fighting? What counts as an example and what is a subversion?
Rann: Basically, it's when some fighter of any origin says "my basics beat your extended specialties". Basically, think of it as if a basketball team (amateur, minor, or pro, doesn't matter) wins a basketball game just by their style of running, passing, and layups being ridiculously better than the other team's entire varied repertoire. If an English team said "We play rugby! So we're the tops at taking hits and running with a ball!" and proceeded to trounce an American team at American Football, that'd probably be a better sports example of Good Old Fisticuffs.
: I don't know that it really qualifies.
Jet Li's
is also essentially a really long love letter to this trope. Though Jet Li's character was, historically, a very good martial artist, in the movie he's implied to be largely self-trained, mostly just from sneaking peeks of his father's training. Despite this, he's able to rather easily defeat any white guy he chooses, even if they're the best in their field, and do it all one after the other while he should be exhausted and they're fresh and well-rested. The only other martial artist that actually gives him a really thorough challenge is... another Asian guy, a samurai-esque Japanese man.
I know this is up for debate, but Jet Li pretty much operates like a pro in the movie. Despite the fact that he learns from "sneaking peeks at his father's training," he still has perfect form and, who are we kidding, it's Jet Li. It doesn't look like straightforward enough-with-this-crap-let's-get-the-job-done type of fighting. I may be wrong, but I'd just like to reconsider this.
Blood on the Sun
scene really an example? I'm no expert but it appears that James Cagney's character uses a fair number of judo techniques as well.
Rann: In Speed Racer, was Pops a
wrestler or an
wrestler? I thought the ring said something about national heavyweight champion or something as opposed to some "federation" or whatnot, leaving aside that pro wrestling usually hands out big shiny belts instead of rings. Even if the moves themselves were more like pro wrestling, well, I kinda doubt the ninjas were using strictly standard martial arts either.
His ring states that he's a Greco-Roman wrestler, which means he was a legit wrestler. It was probably supposed to be some sort of class ring.
Took this out:
Though it involved a gun and sword rather than fists, in
Indiana Jones
Raiders Of The Lost Ark
: a menacing, veiled Arab swings a scimitar around in a fancy pattern; Indy simply sighs and shoots him (producing laughs from the audience every time). See
This troper has heard that a lengthy battle involving Jones's whip against the man was actually planned. However, Ford was feeling a bit sick on the day and didn't really feel like carrying out the drawn out fighting sequence and instead just improvised the script by just shooting.
May or may not have inspired a parody in
Full Metal Panic!
: Fumoffu
, where in one episode Sosuke defeats a knife-wielding bodyguard / chef by shooting him with a (
) round from a grenade launcher.
There's no fisticuffs, and it sounds like
Combat Pragmatist
to me.
jackattack: Cops, agents, and soldiers are not "average joes"; they spend the training phases of their careers learning combat basics, then continue training for much of their professional lives (in addition to practical application in real-world situations).
For that matter, someone without formal training can be self-taught, especially if they are in an environment/situation which promotes frequent combat and a steep learning curve — someone who grew up on the mean streets, who has to fight daily just to get by, will become the master of his own style or spend his short, miserable life as a punching bag. Every martial art started somewhere, and it is likely that many started when the guy who didn't constantly get his head handed to him agreed to show someone else how to win a fight. But note that learning any technique requires practice, so the person learning a technique spends more time learning and refining their skills than someone who only fights when it is necessary — thus, the amount of training and practice may be as important (if not more so) than the merits of the style itself.
It is also very easy for training to betray a practitioner who has only trained against a particular style, since they begin to expect their opponents to behave a particular way and use particular moves. Thus, the Kung Fu expert who has only ever faced other Kung Fu practitioners is going to be at least a little lost when facing a Karate expert, until he adapts to the new style — but note that the Karate expert will have the same exact problem! A lack of style can cause the same problem, since the expert expects the opponent to be rational, and may be taken completely by surprise when the unschooled opponent does something that no rational martial arts practitioner would ever do. Someone who has sought out teachers and/or opponents from different schools and styles will be a better all-around fighter, more adapatable and possibly even familiar with the "exotic" style he is facing.
And why do we assume that the bad guy is spending the bulk of his day training with martial arts masters? I find it hard to believe that a professional bad guy is spending any more time at the gym than a professional good guy — he probably puts in an hour or two of training, then goes out and does bad things to earn (or steal) money. There are yuppies that spend at roughly six hours a week at a boxing gym or a martial arts studio, who are probably just as skilled as anyone else who trains on the same schedule.
a villain leads a more active lifestyle, but that's not necessarily true.
I think we need to be a little more careful with some of these examples. Just because the training hasn't been shown explicitly doesn't mean the hero doesn't have it — after all, we frequently don't see the villain's training, either.

Living in: Portland, Oregon
Cathedral Park in Portland, Oregon (Anthony Pidgeon/LPI)
The snow-capped peak of Mount Hood is never far from view, looming over this gloriously groovy, gritty and green city in the Pacific Northwest. The independent spirit of Portland plus its wondrous natural setting on the Columbia and Willamette Rivers, make it a draw to people from around the country who are looking for a unique place to live.
What is it known for?
It may seem like it is all bicycles and breweries here, with Portland's entrenched cycling culture, bike lanes and at least 30 independent beer makers, but city life is not all an episode of the satiric television show, Portlandia. It has a booming cultural arena, from the Oregon Symphony and Portland Art Museum, as well as thriving art, music and creative scenes. The city is home to the headquarters of Nike, Adidas and Intel (the largest employer in the area), and more than 1,000 technology companies have set up shop here.
Portland has a proud history of green urban planning going back a century, with stringent restrictions on growth and development along with dozens of parks, gardens and wildernesses within the city limits. There is an extensive transport network, Trimet, that includes streetcars and light rail, and many Portlanders cycle to work.
There is a major foodie scene here, with chefs using fresh and foraged Oregonian ingredients and creating inventive cuisine in restaurants and supper clubs, as well as inside the city's famous food carts. Sometimes it seems as though everyone has some creative hobby or has been bitten by the same artisanal entrepreneurial spirit. "People make things here, like beer, wine, coffee or 'zines, custom bikes and shoes," said Andrew Dickson, a copywriter and artist/performer who has lived in Portland for 15 years. "It is a great place to be an artist, with a supportive community. At any given rock show or art opening, half the people who come are musicians as well as artists."
Where do you want to live?
Portland is divided into five main areas: Northwest, Southwest, Northeast, Southeast and North Portland. Most people are looking to live "close-in" -- within two or three miles of the urban downtown core and the Pearl District, which sits along the Willamette River where Northwest and Southwest meet. The area around the Pearl and NW 23rd (most Portland neighbourhoods take their names from the local streets) has condos and apartment buildings on offer, as opposed to the terraced houses or Victorian or Craftsman homes found in more residential districts. "There has been a high demand for properties close to the downtown sector in recent years and those close-in neighbourhoods have a great mix of architecture," said Gary Majors, a broker at Markram Properties. "These areas have a lot of older homes built with old-growth wood and lots of character," said Lawrence Teherani-Ami, media director at ad agency Wieden + Kennedy, who lives in historic Nob Hill in Northwest.
On the East Side (that includes Northeast and Southeast), the areas of Buckman, Lloyd Center, Alameda, Irvington, Hawthorne, Sunnyside and Brooklyn have a neighbourhood feel that appeals to Portlanders, and properties here have held their value. "You can walk to coffee shops, restaurants and the bus lines that take you downtown," said Dickson. Areas such as Creston, Arleta and Center are the pockets between these in-demand neighbourhoods where Majors is seeing increasing interest from buyers. And "as the market rebounds", he said, "the depressed areas in outer Southeast, Northeast and North Portland will become the next 'place to be'."
Side trips
Portland is roughly an hour from the beach towns along the Pacific Coast and an hour from skiing, snowboarding and hiking in Mt Hood National Forest and hotel destinations like Timberline Lodge. "The coast is a lot of people's go-to spot," said Dickson. "I love Astoria in the northwest and Yachats halfway down the coast." Thanks to legislation passed in the 1960s, all of Oregon's beaches are open to the public. Hood River is about an hour east of Portland on the Columbia River and a popular spot for windsurfers who take advantage of the winds coming off the Columbia River Gorge.

Resident Evil: The Final Chapter
Tags: action, Constantin Film, creatures, Li Bingbing, Milla Jovovich, Paul W.S. Anderson, resident evil, sci-fi, SEQUELS, ZOMBIES |
No official plot yet, but we can assume it follows the events of the previous film.
- According to Milla Jovovich filming is expected to begin sometime in August 2015. (1/21/15)
- Apparently production was going to begin soon, but Milla Jovovich revealed earlier that production will now be delayed, as she recently discovered she's pregnant with her second child with writer/director Paul W.S. Anderson. (8/18/14)
- In a recent interview Paul W.S. Anderson updated fans, saying that he's "in the middle of the first draft" and that the movie is currently titled Resident Evil: The Final Chapter. This essentially confirms previous reports about this being the final installment in the "new trilogy". (6/17/14)
- Originally set for a September 12th 2014 theatrical release.
- Rumored to be titled either Resident Evil Rising or Resident Evil Rises.
- Paul W.S. Anderson has said that this will definitely "be in 3D."
- Filming was originally aimed to begin sometime in the Fall of 2013.
- Li Bingbing returns as "Ada Wong."
- Paul W.S. Anderson and his wife Milla Jovovich return.
- This may be the final installment in Paul W.S. Anderson reported "new trilogy."
A UHM staff member has not reviewed this film.

Sometimes we like to make hot stuff. Like horseradish and wasabi-style hot stuff. The only problem is that it seems impossible to find organic varieties of either. Instead of continuing on a never ending wild goose chase, we just made our own. Horseradish is useful for creating shrimp cocktail sauce, adding kick to a sandwich, or spicing up scrambled eggs. Bonus: horseradish root is beneficial to both the circulatory and respiratory systems. Are you ready to kick it up a notch?
INGREDIENTS [Yields 2 cups]
2 c. fresh horseradish root peeled and diced
1/3 c. water
4 Tbsp. white wine vinegar
1 tsp. sea salt
Use a sharp knife or vegetable peeler to remove the tough outer layer from the horseradish root. Take a 6" section of the shaved root and chop it into small chunks.
Add the chunks to the food processor along with the 1/3 c. water and pulse until the horseradish is well-ground and pulpy.
Empty the horseradish into medium bowl and add white wine vinegar and salt. Mix with a spoon to combine. If you want it extra hot, add the vinegar immediately. If you prefer it to be milder, wait 5 minutes and then add vinegar. Mix it well and allow it to marinade.
Refrigerate in an air-tight jar. It stays fresh for up to 6 weeks. Warning: it gets increasingly hotter as time passes.

The Craigslist Posting servers are currently busy. Please try again in 20 minutes. This is the message I have received every time I've posted my ads to Craigslist.org over the last several weeks.
I wonder if the constant slowdowns are going to cause Craigslist to change the way they offer their services and perhaps even start charging for more of them. While I know Craig Newmark has declined buyouts or charging for most ad posting services in the past, perhaps they wont technically be able to support it for much longer.
I'm definitely getting frustrated with continuous outages and have considered not posting there anymore. When I have to try over and over again to post one ad, it can takes up a lot of my time.
I think change is imminent and here are a couple of ways I see Craigslist changing their services in the future:
-Charging to post classified ads(even a minuscule amount can make a huge difference)
-Charging to post in more categories
-Delay between posts per account or IP address.
-Paid advertising throughout Craisglist and alongside free ad pages
Let' be clear, I don't hope they make these changes; I like my free services. I'm just saying they're going to need to do something soon. Even if they beef up their servers, that's going to cost money and that money is going to have to come from somewhere.
If you're also having trouble posting to Craigslist at times, you can see if there are any outages by checking their system status.
I'm not complaining. The folks over at Craigslist have been offering us a great free service for some time now, and I'm appreciative of that. I'm just wondering how much longer they can technically sustain offering such a great service this way.
If it keeps up I bet more people are going to start using Backpage.com for their free classifieds.

It's very frustrating, and this hopefully is a way to slow down spammers. Every time it happens I wait few minutes and it's good to go again; However I don't think others are that patient, and this will drive people away from Craigslist. Craigslist can keep growing, and I strongly urge them to switch to a different tactic if they need to stop spammers.

Yep, it's been doing the same to me. I tried to post last night, and the server was busy; then I tried to post this morning and the server was busy. I am starting to question the reliability of craigslist.

This is ridiculous. Wait 20 minutes? For what, just to receive the same message again? I believe Craig is focusing on the wrong things along as the wrong direction with this site IMO. Oh well.

I usually only have to wait a minute or two. So you can disregard the whole 20 minute BS they give ya.
Even so, I agree; it's still an annoyance.

I am really tired of the message "Craigslist Posting Servers are Busy". I have been unable to post for more than a week now. What's the deal? I just want to list my vehicle for sale by owner. I WILL NEVER use Craigslist again for anything!!!

I get this when trying to post just 1 listing. craigslist is really becoming less and less useful.
I've found backpage.com and the Dragon Exchange (www.TheDragonExchange.com) much easier to use and more useful friendly, and with far more features, and not all of the hassle.
Sorry, craig, but it seems like you've been overcome with your own success.

I get this message EVERY TIME I try to make my first post. I have not posted anything there for almost a year and I came back trying to sell a computer and that kept happening to me for weeks. It finally worked a few days ago. I don't want to complain since it's free, but I don't want to spend 20 minutes to wait to be able to post again, because if I have to go somewhere for a hours and come back, try again, it'll give me the same message.
Mind I also say that my password keeps being wrong on the website. They give you an option to change it temporarily, and then in your craigslist account settings, they let you change your password permanently. I have done this almost 5 times and it still always tells me I put in the wrong password, even though it was approved of the permanent change. I Emailed craigslist about this and they have yet to reply for as long as I haven't been able to post there.

I searched on here and saw a lot of posts but i don't see sensors on my door.
We moved in less than a year ago and have the 53515sr model. It worked fine then last week one door when trying to shut it only goes down 4 inches and then back up. I tried what other people have done on here - checked for sensor but dont see any, moved the up/down force all the way to low and nothing, moved the travel up/down screws and nothing, i see a yellow button by the wires but dont want to press it without knowing what it does no manual from the previous owners i held the wall opener and no difference and then i did the trick someone else had posted that when it was about to retreat i hit it again to stop it and inched it down that way and now its a couple inches off the ground but wont go up or down just to the ground and back up the couple inches going to vacation in a couple weeks so dont want to leave it like that also does pulling that red string just make it manual? dindt want to do that without double checking any ideas? |
Follow-Up Postings:
Sounds like the RPM sensor is bad. That yellow button is to program new remotes. Due to the age of the opener, I would just replace it and be done with it. Yes, if you pull that red cord it does make the door manual. |
Thanks! Any recommendations of ones to get?? Also we have 2 doors and only one did this - better to just replace both? Previous owners said they got new doors 2 years ago - so now i assume they got the actual doors and not the opener i guess so do you get all new tracks and opener? any idea on cost? installation? |

Captain Apache (1971) has a terrible reputation among Spaghetti Western fans. The movie is often used as an example of how the genre took a turn for the worse as it entered the '70s. For me, however, it is an incredibly fun if cheesy film that embraces the type of boundless creativity, shameless risk-taking, and over-the-top invention that I find so appealing about the genre.
The film starts by flashing this sequence of quotes across the screen:
"The only good Indian is a dead Indian"—Paleface saying
"The only good Paleface is a dead Paleface" - Indian saying
"Love they neighbor"
—source forgotten
Then, the theme song kicks into full gear while a montage begins with scenes that help illustrate the following lyrics: "They are after me with guns, knives, and fast fast horses / They are after me with bombs, drugs, and fast fast women / They're going to tail me, trail me, try to nail me / But they haven't got a prayer".
With this montage we get to see the star, a heavily tanned Lee Van Cleef, as the title character, Captain Apache, in all his badass glory, and we realize that it is he who is singing the catchy song. "They call me Captain Apache, a Redskin in calvary blue," he mumbles with charm. A graduate of West Point who wears a fur-lined jacket, this Native American character of Van Cleef's will tomahawk his way into your memory, and director Alexander Singer cleverly inserts him into a plot that exposes the corruption and racism that was running rampant in the American Wild West.
The plot actually has more in common with a spy thriller or a hard-boiled detective story than that of a typical Spaghetti Western. The U.S. Government hires Captain Apache to investigate the murder of the commissioner in charge of Native American relations, assuming that evidence will prove the Native Americans responsible. The only real clue Captain Apache has to go off of is the dead commissioner's last words: "April Morning". As the plot unfolds, several different characters are introduced who either know or are trying to find out what this phrase, "April Morning", means. But, as Captain Apache says, "Every time I get a lead on April Morning someone gets killed."
These characters, among others, include a gunrunner named Griffin (Stuart Whitman), a blonde bombshell named Maude (Caroll Baker), several calvary members like General Ryland (Hugh McDermott) and O'Rourke (Charles Stalmaker), a Mexican temptress named Rosita (Elisa Montes), Moon the Native American chief (Percy Herbert), a bunch of muscles like the snarly-faced Snake (Tony Vogel), and a Mexican bandit turned general named Sanchez (Charly Bravo).
Eventually all these characters, including Captain Apache, end up on a train heading to Tucson. It is on this train that we learn what April Morning is and how it plays into a elaborate conspiracy to set-up the local Native Americans so that the U.S. Government can justify forcing them out of their reservation, which is located on valuable land, and off to Yellow Snake Canyon which, as Captain Apache points out, is "filled with snakes!"
Before learning all that, we get to enjoy some great dialogue and many moments of B-movie madness. Griffin, the gunrunner and local businessman, for example, has two body guards that happen to be identically dressed identical twins. Captain Apache, upon meeting them, tells Griffin to "keep your freaks away from me," to which he asks, "Why do you always insult people who might kill you?" and our protagonist answers, "I like to see a man enjoy his work."
After Griffin says, "You're at the wrong table, at the wrong hotel, in the wrong town, and you might even be in the wrong line of business," the two insulted twins take Captain Apache to the bar where they try to kill him… by forcing him to drink. He says, "I don't fight with freaks," and instead goes along with their drinking game. "Bottoms up," one says while taking a shot, and if Captain Apache doesn't follow suit, the other says, "My brother is waiting." This goes on and on until Captain Apache points out that he's drinking two to their one, and "I'm Indian—one more and I'll go crazy." He takes one more and then soberly knocks them both out.
Because Van Cleef's character, who is far superior in both intelligence and ability than all the other characters, parodies the racist sayings about Native Americans and completely contradicts the stereotypes of them, Captain Apache is, regardless of what some viewers may believe, a pro-Native American, anti-racist film. While some will understandingly be offended by the sight of a white man playing a Native American, such practices a normal part of the Spaghetti Western genre. Producers used Spaniards to play Mexican characters, just as they used southeastern Spain for the American Southwest and, occasionally, like this case, they used white men to play Native Americans. (Burt Reynolds as Navajo Joe is the most notorious example.)
As silly as most of it is, Captain Apache is the film that made me appreciate the entire spectrum of the genre. It's easy to dismiss every Spaghetti Western that doesn't come close to the quality of of Sergio Leone's many masterpieces, but sometimes these films—whether they're goofy, exploitative, or just plain bad—have moments of magic in them that can't be ignored.
Take, for example, the scene in Captain Apache where we unexpectedly get to see Van Cleef tripping-out one some sort of truth sermon (probably a mescaline based concoction); his eyes bulge while he rolls around on the ground sweating, grimacing, and having visions before escaping from his captures up a M.C Escher type of staircase. If this scene doesn't increase your love for the genre, I don't know what will.

Usually people come into contact with poison ivy, oak, or sumac in wooded areas, in parks, or on beaches. If these plants invade your yard or property, you may wish to remove them permanently.
Dispose of the plants according to your local regulations. Do not compost the dead plants. Urushiol breaks down too slowly, and chopping the vines for the compost heap increases exposure to the oil.

The former Guns N' Roses guitarist shows you how to play key riffs from "Paradise City."
In his first Cracking the Code lesson for GW, Troy Grady tackles EJ's pickslanting pentatonics.

Andy Aledort shows you how to play a renowned live version of Hendrix's "Little Wing."
I had taught at this annual workshop a number of times and always looked forward to my week there, not only because I was able to teach a class of students who really wanted to learn guitar, but also for more selfish reasons. I liked meeting and learning from some of the other instructors and clinicians.
A couple of weeks ago, I gave you a short, 30-minute guitar workout designed for guitarists whose practice time is limited. The positive response I received prompted me to create an additional lesson, which, in combination with my original workout, will give you a good hour of intensive practice.
In this brand-new edition of Betcha Can't Play This, metal guitarist Ethan Brosh (using a Fender HM Strat) demonstrates a lightning-fast C Lydian lick that sounds a bit like The Simpsons theme song, at least at the very beginning.
When most people start learning guitar, the first chords that they learn are often the A, C, D, E and G open chords. And the CAGED chord system is a chordal shape that can be used to navigate the fretboard using the C, A, G, E and D open-chord shapes, in that particular order, to ultimately be able to spot any major chord all across your fretboard.
In this edition of In Deep, we'll be taking a look at the guitar work of two essential early blues guitar masters: John Lee Hooker and Lightnin' Hopkins.
In this exclusive Guitar World lesson, watch Living Colour guitarist Vernon Reid talk about the band's The Chair in the Doorway album and teach you how to play their classic 1988 hit "Cult of Personality."
For this lesson, I want to explore some more applications of this technique and give you some ideas of how you can use it in your own playing. The technique can be applied to virtually any single-note sequence you come up with. I find it best to create a simple melodic line and then apply the technique to create a riff or motif. I've found it particularly useful in my solos as a way to create dynamics.
The fourth finger is often neglected when it comes to playing guitar. Well, rock/blues guitar, at least. I notice players opt to do wide stretches between their second and third fingers rather than using the fourth. As a result, the fourth finger is very underused and gets weak. This generally begins when someone first starts playing guitar.
Van Halen's impact on Dimebag's playing is unmistakable. The "vibe" of early Van Halen is by far the most recognizable influence in Dimebag's playing. From the grooving rhythms played like leads of their own, to the tone, to the phrasing in his lead playing, Dimebag took the inspiration of Edward Van Halen and forged his own identity.

About This Project
We've been looking for some saddle back stools for quite a while that would fit snug under our kitchen island. I couldn't find any, so I checked Ana-White and found the perfect building plan. I used scraps to build two matching stools and so I altered the plans to fit what I had. Other then the dimensions being different, I also used a 2x12" piece of wood cut down to 9x15" for the stool top.
I've documented the process as best as I could at; http://www.tommyandellie.com/Site/Home/Entries/2011/6/13_More_Seating_fo...

Wood Filler
I skipped a step that I might redo. I'd recommend taking some wood filler and spreading over the knots and imperfections before painting it. Sand it down, smooth it out, and it'll be Looking flawless.

Awesome job!!
I've been looking for some stools like this, so I followed your lead and just finished making some. Thanks so much for sharing!
Awesome! I'm so glad you made some. Thanks for sharing. We love our stools and hope you enjoy them as well.

The Mayor's Book Club is an annual citywide reading campaign to develop a community experience through reading and discussion of shared books. Additionally, the program's goal is to broaden and deepen an appreciation of literature in the Austin community, to increase the visibility of the Austin Public Library, and to promote its value to the entire community. This year, the Mayor's Book Club has selected the latest novel from Austin author Elizabeth Crook: Monday, Monday. Upcoming 2014 Mayor's Book Club EventsCommunity ConversationAustin History Center Nearly fifty years after the UT Tower shootings, we explore how the true events of August 1, 1966, altered the lives of witnesses, rescuers, journalists, and victims. While memorials and remembrances have been held throughout the years, this Community Conversation is a rare occasion in which victims and witnesses will speak publicly about their memories of that day. The event begins with a presentation from the Austin History Center archives, followed by a conversation with four people who experienced the event first-hand. KUT News Director Emily Donahue will moderate. Featured Speakers: Neal Spelce was news director at Austin's local CBS station. Upon hearing the first report of shots fired from the UT Tower, he rushed to campus to begin a live broadcast that would last nearly two hours. Clif Drummond was student body president at the time and was walking the West Mall when the shooting began. Drummond went to his office to grab a lab coat he could make into bandages. With his friend, Bob Higley, Drummond attempted to rescue five or six of the wounded in the midst of the gunfire. Forrest Preece was a UT junior in 1966. He was eating lunch at Renfro's Rexall Drugstore with his friends from the Longhorn Band. A cashier at the drugstore warned the group not to go outside because of the shooting, but the students ignored that admonition and went out of the building to stand along the sidewalk of Guadalupe. Shortly after, a bullet whizzed past Preece, striking Harry Walchuk, who was standing about four feet away and who died several hours later. Headline Event & ReadingJohn H. Faulk Central Library Elizabeth Crook will read from Monday, Monday, speak with readers, and answer questions about the novel. Book sales and signing to follow. School OutreachTuesday, October 7 Elizabeth Crook will speak exclusively to students at Travis High School, discuss her experiences and work as a writer, and lead a writing activity. About the BookOn an oppressively hot Monday in August of 1966, a student and former Marine named Charles Whitman hauled a footlocker of guns to the top of the University of Texas Tower and fired on pedestrians below. Sixteen people were killed and thirty-two were wounded. It was the first mass shooting of civilians on a campus in American history. Monday, Monday follows three students caught up in the massacre. Shelly, who leaves her math class and walks directly into the path of the bullets; and two cousins, Wyatt and Jack, who heroically rush from their classrooms to help the victims. On this searing day, a relationship begins that will entangle these three young people in a forbidden love affair, an illicit pregnancy, and a vow of secrecy spanning forty years. Reunited decades after the tragedy, they must confront the event that changed their lives and ruled the lives of their children. ... Elizabeth Crook's novel explores how we sustain ourselves and each other when the unthinkable happens. It is the story of a woman determined to make peace with herself, the people she loves, and a history that will not let her go. – from Sarah Crichton Books / Farrar, Straus, Giroux About the AuthorElizabeth Crook is the author of three previous novels: The Raven's Bride—a Novel of Eliza, Sam Houston's First Wife; Promised Lands; and The Night Journal, which won a Spur Award from Western Writers of America and a WILLA Literary Award from Women Writing the West.

Loyality of Man's Best Friend!http://www.theblaze.com/stories/2013/01/18/loyal-dog-continues-to-attend-mass-every-day-at-church-where-his-owners-funeral-was-held/http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2263390/Loyal-dog-attends-mass-day-church-owners-funeral-held.html Loyal Dog Continues to Attend Mass Every Day at Church Where His Owner's Funeral Was Held If you've ever questioned whether dogs truly are "man's best friend," this story will surely solidify your views. Every day, a German shepherd whose owner died last year has reportedly been showing up for mass at Santa Maria Assunta Church in San Donaci, Italy. See, the funeral for his owner, Maria Margherita Lochi, was held at the house of worship. And the woman also brought the dog with her to the church each day, creating a bond that leads Tommy, the loyal 7-year-old canine, to take the daily journey back to the building. Before her death, Lochi would let him sit at her feet during mass — something the pooch hasn't forgotten. While some people would assume that a church isn't necessarily the most appropriate place for a dog, congregants and leaders apparently enjoy Tommy's presence. ""He's there every time I celebrate mass and is very well behaved. He doesn't make a sound," Father Donato Panna, a faith leader at Santa Maria Assunta Church, told the DailyMail."He's still coming to Mass even after Maria's funeral, he waits patiently by the side of the altar and just sits there quietly." The priest said that he couldn't bring himself to throw the dog out, as he recently lost his own hound. So, he lets Tommy out each day after mass concludes. Following Lochi's death, the dog has apparently been adopted by the community. While Father Panna hopes that a permanent home is soon found for him, for now, the entire village leaves out food for the canine, as he has been "adopted by everyone." The heartbroken dog, clearly commemorating his owner's memory, showcases just how intense the relationship can be between animals and their masters.
