National Constitution Center unveils Newseum traveling exhibit Of Kennedy family photography
Creating Camelot: The Kennedy Photography of Jacques Lowe
Creating Camelot: The Kennedy Photography of Jacques Lowe showcases more than 70 intimate photographs and iconic images of President John F. Kennedy, his wife, Jacqueline, and their children, Caroline and John Jr. — photos that helped create the legend of the Kennedy presidency known as "Camelot."
Lowe was Kennedy's personal photographer from 1958 through his early years in the White House. His extraordinary access to Kennedy's private and public life allowed him to capture events that others could not. His photographs document Kennedy's rise to power, from his 1958 re-election campaign to the White House, along with intimate scenes of the Kennedys at home. The exhibit also explores how Lowe's images were used in the media.
A large touch-screen monitor allows visitors to view more than two dozen of Lowe's original contact sheets, including the editing marks that indicate the images he selected for publication in various newspapers and magazines. The exhibit also includes an original film about Jacques Lowe and the Kennedy family.
Creating Camelot: The Kennedy Photography of Jacques Lowe was developed by the Newseum in collaboration with the Jacques Lowe Estate. The Newseum, an interactive museum of news, is located in Washington, D.C. newseum.org

Living News
New Questions. New Possibilities!
Living News is a fast-paced, up-close and live theatrical performance introducing current and controversial constitutional issues to students. This dynamic, 25-minute performance incorporating video, contemporary music and current news broadcasts features three engaging actors to bring the action right up to the audience. We encourage the audience to be a participants in the story!
Throughout the performance, actors talk directly to the audience and, at times, involve them in the action. Following the performance, the students are invited to offer their opinions, ask questions and share their thoughts. The museum's education staff guides a dialogue centered around timely constitutional issues.
Topics include:
- Freedom of Speech and Religion- 1st Amendment
- Gun Control- 2nd Amendment
- Search and Seizure- 4th Amendment
- Capital Punishment- 8th Amendment
- Other court cases and current events relevant to students, including NJ vs. TLO
Topics are changed regularly to ensure the most up-to-date experience.
We know it is often challenging for young people to make a personal connection to the Constitution and its relevancy in their lives. That's why we created Living News and why we've created activities surrounding it- check out these clips from the show, complete with discussion questions to get your students thinking!

Templeton Essay Contests, New Advisory Board
The National Constitution Center has exciting news about two new projects that benefits students and adults interested in education about the Constitution.
The Center is pleased to announce the members of its new scholarly Coalition of Freedom Advisory Board, co-chaired by leaders of the Federalist Society and the American Constitution Society. The new board was created to oversee a three-year initiative made possible by a $5.5 million grant from the John Templeton Foundation to increase awareness of the rights set forth in the United States Constitution and other founding documents. The initiative will bring together the best scholars in America to participate in Town Hall constitutional debates across America and to create the best non-partisan Interactive Constitution on the web.
You can learn more about the overall project by clicking here.
An exciting part of the project happening right now is a contest that challenges public and independent school teachers to create plans to increase constitutional literacy in their schools. The contest includes prizes of up to $100,000 for the winning schools and $10,000 for the winning students in Philadelphia and Pennsylvania.
The Founding Freedoms Essay and Playwriting Contest is designed to increase awareness of the rights set forth in the United States Constitution, the Bill of Rights and Declaration of Independence, and to engage students to think creatively about our nation's great history.
Students in each of the 6th, 8th, and 12th grades are encouraged to participate by submitting an essay that responds to a grade-specific prompt. 12th grade students also have the option of writing a play that, if chosen as the winning submission, will be performed live at the Constitution Center by professional actors.
This contest is currently open to students from the tri- state area in public, private, and parochial schools, as well as registered home-study programs. The Center will expand the contest to the Mid-Atlantic region in 2015 and to the entire country in 2016.
Deadlines for entries are:
- December 2014 – February 28, 2015: Essay and Playwriting Contest will open and submissions will be accepted through our online submission platform.
- February 22, 2015 at 11:59 pm: Last day for submission for 12th grade Playwriting Contest.
- February 28, 2015 at 11:59 pm: Last day for submission for Essay Contest

"Thank you for doing this directory. When I moved to town in 1990 there was one available from the Arts Council and I personally scoured it trying to get to know other artists and making connections. It was an invaluable tool for me as a young person moving into the village. It's really nice to see it coming back around! "
-Lisa WoltersIt has been a goal of the Arts Council for many years to create an artist directory. Having an artist directory will make it easier for artists, potential buyers, business owners, and the public in general to connect, thus helping to create even more vibrant conversations about and pieces of art for our wonderful village of Yellow Springs. Names in the directory also help to uphold the reputation of Yellow Springs as an arts community.
The artist directory is open to ALL types of artists–we are not just looking for visual artists, but authors, performers, musicians and more! The artist directory will include helpful information such as medium, studio details, and the opportunity for artists to indicate whether they are willing to teach classes, take commissions, and more. YSAC members get added benefits that increase their visibility in the directory, but members will not automatically be included.
Click here to complete your questionnaire for the artist directory. Look forward to more news about the project! The online directory is already available and is being edited and formatted now. Artists will be asked to review their listing one last time before the publication goes to print near the end of the summer.
All artists who are included in the directory will receive a complimentary copy. Our goal is for the directory to be finished and ready for publishing by the October Street Fair. For more information, please contact us at 937-679-YSAC (9722) or firstname.lastname@example.com.

Good habits and a credit score
Feb 1, 2012
We use a credit card to pay for all monthly expenses and then pay it off at the end of each month. My credit score fluctuates every quarter, depending on when the accounts are checked. My question is how can we convince the credit rating company that we do not carry any credit card debt from one month to the next? My score is currently at 749 but has been as high as 815.

After providing an overview of how this affiliation will improve health care quality, access and affordability for the residents of Western Washington, he answered a number of questions from union leadership and members of the bargaining unit.
Dr. Hochman emphasized several areas of the agreement including the fact that Swedish will retain its non-religious roots, that it will retain local control, including its relations with labor, and throughout the process will commit to the highest level of transparency with SEIU.
"We want to create the best healthcare delivery system in Western Washington," Hochman explained, "and this partnership represents a local solution to a national problem and could become a national model on how to fix healthcare."
Dr. Hochman noted the benefits of joining forces with Providence because of the shared mission of both organizations who already provide a staggering $205 million per year in uncompensated care and other community-benefit activities for Western Washington.
"Imagine how much more we can do – and how many more lives we can improve – by working together," Hochman added.
Dr. Hochman underscored the fact that the affiliation is currently in the regulatory review stage and there are still many details to work out, and encouraged the parties to remain focused on reaching an agreement that will ensure the long term sustainability of Swedish since the union and Swedish have a shared and mutual interest in that goal.

Praise Junkie
What does it mean when you say, "You're so smart!"? Are you telling someone they're intelligent, clever, cunning, observant, 'book' smart, 'street' smart, adept, sharply painful?
What does your child hear if you say it to them? "Mom loves me be because I'm smart."
How about if you tell your child, "You're so cute!" or "You're funny!"?
When we offer praise to a child we're putting emphasis on a trait that we appreciate. Of course, we think our children are smart, cute, and funny, but what we really need to say are things like, "Wow! I really like how you worked on that puzzle to figure it out." Being specific teaches them about what it is that we like and value.
Do we really want our child to grow up thinking that we value them for being 'cute'?
Swedish and Providence Join Forces to Improve Health Care
These are some of the most challenging times in our country's history for both health care and the economy. As Greater Seattle's largest nonprofit provider, we believe it is Swedish's responsibility to lead the region through these difficult times and serve the community no matter what the circumstances. Today, I am very proud to announce that Swedish is leading the way in partnership with Providence Health & Services. Both of our boards recently approved an innovative plan to join forces and form a new integrated health system to serve Western Washington.
There are still many details to be worked out, and the affiliation is pending regulatory review. But when finalized, our new system will dramatically improve health care for the region and serve as a local solution to the nation's health-care crisis.
What makes our affiliation so innovative is that it is not a merger or acquisition. Rather, it is a unique structure that will allow us to work together to coordinate care for the region while respecting our individual identities and heritage.
In other words, Swedish will still be Swedish. We are keeping our name and will not become a Catholic organization. Likewise, Providence will still be Providence. They will keep their name and maintain their Catholic identity.
What will change, however, is that we will closely collaborate to coordinate care seamlessly for patients from Centralia to Seattle to Everett by:
- Harnessing the power of electronic health records to better serve patients and improve clinical outcomes
- Using our collective data to drive rapid quality and safety improvements
- Sharing resources to assure underserved communities have access to the continuum of care, including subspecialized care and innovative research
- Working together to implement best practices and gain operating efficiencies so that we can reduce costs and make health care more affordable for government payers, commercial insurers and employers.
A partner with a shared mission

It's the old lowercase L vs. numeric 1 character bug, and it bit me real bad. I had created perl directories as per15 instead of perl5 (look closely, I haven't been able to SEE the difference on any of 3 largescreen monitors all week). Simply renaming directory per15 to perl5 made perl -V behave, and then I blew away and reran the glibc build, and everything worked, and I am off and running again. I think I got as far as building the patch binary, and that is where I quit late last night. I did run ldd on not only perl, but did: ldd /tools/usr/bin/* |more (and again for sbin), and didn't turn up anything that didn't start with the /tools directory. But the fact that in the beginning you suspected a perl problem certainly got me looking in the right places. Without that tip I would still be looking for mtrace nowhere in particular. Anyhow, the original error was a typo when I created the directories in the first build of perl, typing a 1 instead of an l. Simply renaming that one directory, and starting over with glibc configure/make straightened everything out, and I am off and running again very smoothly. Between the first and second pass I got GPM working, and that gets rid of the rekeying errors. There's probably 1-3 pixels difference in the 1 and l, and the brain just filters it out as noise, and the tab-completion always found what was nearby and convenient depending on the context at the time. I only SAW it by pasting the error output from perl -V back into the command line for ls, to see why I could do manually what it couldn't, and finally I got a manual command to give me a file not found error, and at that point I finally saw it on the screen. As for @INC, it obviously knew how its directory should have been spelled, and was not knowledgeable of how its directory name was actually spelled, in other words, a precoded list of possibilities. Thanks to you and the list for all of the help straightening out this silly typo. Bob

SANTA CLARA, Calif. (AP) — The San Francisco 49ers lost running back Kendall Hunter and wide receiver Kyle Williams to season-ending injuries on the very same play during Sunday's win at New Orleans.
A pair of tough blows for the NFC West-leading Niners (8-2-1) as they prepare for a road game at St. Louis on Sunday three weeks after a 24-24 tie with the Rams on Nov. 11 at Candlestick Park.
"That was a major hit," running back Anthony Dixon said Tuesday. "Kyle and Kendall are both go-to guys in our offense. They made a lot of plays for us this year, and to see them go down on one play — man, that's crazy. We pride ourselves on being a stacked team, on being deep, and we've just got to show up this week."
Now, Dixon likely will take on a larger role backing up Frank Gore and rookie second-round draft pick LaMichael James is expected to be active, along with top draft pick wide receiver A.J. Jenkins.
An announcement on who will start Sunday at quarterback is expected from coach Jim Harbaugh on Wednesday. Colin Kaepernick has won the last two games in his first two career NFL starts, while Alex Smith is now fully healthy from a concussion sustained in the first half of the last meeting with the Rams.
"We've got two good quarterbacks. Whatever way coach decides to go, we're behind him," Gore said. "They're both going to play well. It don't matter."
Hunter was the second player in two days to be lost for the year after Williams said Monday his 2012 season had ended.
"Two players that help our team," Gore said of the losses. "At the running back position, we've got depth. I respect Tony's (Dixon) game a lot. He makes big plays. I know coach (Tom) Rathman, whoever he's got next on the depth chart, they'll get him ready to play."
The 49ers said Tuesday both players had been placed on season-ending injured reserve. Williams announced Monday on Twitter that he tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee, while Hunter is listed out with an ankle injury — though some of his teammates said he was undergoing treatment on his left Achilles tendon in the training room.

4 Indications of a Silver Bubble
The following commentary comes from an independent investor or market observer as part of TheStreet's guest contributor program, which is separate from the company's news coverage.
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Silver hit a 30-year high this week. Whenever an asset class -- in this case silver -- experiences a rapid increase in price coupled with the attention of a majority of investors and media, talk of a bubble begins making its way around the numerous outlets investors use to express their feelings with respect to the financial markets.
Defining a bubble is a subjective exercise, at best. Asset bubbles inherently vary in the amount of appreciation they experience, the length of time they persist and the underlying reasons they exist in the first place. Some bubbles can continue for years and have very well defined reasoning behind them. Others can last only a few months with the reasoning being without fundamental merit.
The only way I have found to define a bubble and come up with any rational target for its expiration is through price action. Fundamentals will never allow you to define a bubble, as they become clouded by emotion during bubble phases. Realistic thinking and rationality is replaced by pervasive greed and unrealistic expectations.
The price action during most asset bubbles is surprisingly similar if you filter out the noise by using either a weekly or monthly chart. There are 4 key elements involved: 1. A rapid increase in price that blows away anything that the asset has done in the recent and distant past. 2. Buying that is violent and disorganized. 3. Weekly or monthly price ranges that begin expanding exponentially versus previous bars. 4. A dramatic increase in trading volume. The best way to illustrate these examples is by viewing the charts of past asset bubbles and looking for the similarities. Fortunately, we have had quite a few assets bubbles over the past 10 years that we can use to formulate an opinion on silver. We're going to look at the bubble in the Nasdaq between 1999-2000. The bubble that developed in real estate, expressed through KBH. And the bubble that developed in oil between 2007-2008. We will look at the price action on a monthly basis to filter out a majority of the noise. You can see that the price action and participation among these three sectors during each of their respective bubble phases was very similar. Now let's see if there are similarities occurring in the silver market at present:Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Cars are different; personally I'd either RTM, google around to see what people are saying for that particular model or speak to the dealer for proper advice. I can advise you on the Peugeot 2.0 diesel that ends up in a lot of vehicles, but not a Kia.
No, I read the manual from cover to cover last night (yep, i should really get out more) and although it mentioned the light on the dash and what it could be (i.e. the DPF) it didn't give any guidence. I have searched online for my make / model and on the KIA forums people are also baffled.
When we went out last night for a while on the dual carriageway, we stuck to 5th gear. I know on the forums they said you need to get the car to 1200rpm for at least 15 means without roundabouts / stops getting in the way. But where i live its roundabout city, or you get 2 lanes going into 1 etc ... so its bloody hard to do. We did manage it though for about 5 -6 mins before we had to slow down.
I think we have decided to stick to 5th gear on dual carriageways and save 6th for when we are on a motorway. But to be fair, the car is mainly used to ferry me back to work and back (16 miles a day) and an odd trip to the parents / B&Q !!
I am a born worrier, which is why i am asking all these questions.

Expound? Bad experience? Read a bad review? He was your neighbor and refused to mow his grass?
In all seriousness, it is not very helpful to just say "I wouldn't" without giving the OP (and others) anything to go on. For those making a decision and seeking info, negative input can be very helpful...if it's useful info.

I was pleasantly surprised when I received this! Gorgeous color (just like the picture), substantial weight and very classy! And bigger than I was expecting, which is a good thing. It's truly a weekend bag, just a couple changes worth of space, but that's perfect. Everyone who's seen it is equally impressed! Very happy. Thanks!
Lighter brown than I expected and size was too small for a duffle bag.

The feeling you get the day after sending a letter, and you know there is no possible way that the recipient has received your message yet, let alone formulated time to write a reply, but you still get just a little hopeful when you hear the mailman drive by and rush out to the postbox a little too quickly and are disappointed by the pile of free coupons, bills, charity flyers, and a late Christmas card from Grandma Moses.
The noise of a faraway car driving late at night, or perhaps early in the morning, in that sleepy place somewhere between consciousness and dreaming where everything is warm and vaguely fuzzy. The remote sound of tires on asphalt speaks to a sense of curiosity – where are they going? Why so early? – but the blankets are so heavy, your eyes are so heavy, and before you can wonder anymore, the car is long gone and you are long gone, carving out a hollow place to rest in just a few hours more.
A sudden awareness that occurs during funerals that you are going to die, you are dying right now – your cells are shedding like snakeskin scales and your hair is turning silver and every moment is one less than before and you will never know which one is the last one because you won't be around to count the grains in your hourglass anymore – and, somehow, this knowledge both sharpens and dulls the grief of saying goodbye, like a blade that loses all effectiveness once it's already in your chest.
The empty feeling of having completed a good book, watched a great movie, listened to an amazing song, and knowing your own life will never match up to all the things you want it to be. It gets worse the more invested you are in the material and when it ends it's like coming down from an energy high only to crash into the side of Reality Inc. and you wake up in the same crappy bed that you've been sleeping your same crappy life away in for the last fifteen years.
The sense of frustration when the perforated edge of your notebook paper doesn't tear properly, ripping into the pristine white sidebar like a particularly vicious dog into flesh and, oh, you just can't do anything right at all, can you?
The sudden jolt of seeing someone familiar in an unfamiliar place; a disorientation that comes when you see an office co-worker or your doctor or an old teacher in a place where you are not used to seeing them – in the grocery store, at the movie theater, browsing the library. Often accompanied by the sudden knowledge that this person has an entire life locked away behind doors you never even knew existed, but suddenly light has spilled out from underneath one of them and your fingers are brushing the carpet of a room full of ordinary secrets that have not been hidden, but have been kept from your eyes all the same.
The distant mumble of the television in another room, or perhaps up one floor, whose muffled voices are at first annoying and then comfortable, lulling away the loud silences of the night – the buzz of the streetlight, the hum of the fridge, the pulse of your own heartbeat – long enough to put a few hours away for dreaming.
The swift rush of perspective when you stare at the sky hard enough and see that it is not a flat plane but a curve, and that the clouds and stars are not level, but have depth; an incredible depth that has to be measured in alien terms because human sensibilities are just too little; a depth is so far beyond the scope of your imaginings that just staring is enough to make you go weak at the knees and lose your balance and as soon as that happens you have to look away just to feel normal again.
An unexpected desire to leave home – not forever – but just long enough to see something you've never seen before and to have something exciting to talk about when the neighbors visit because these tea parties are getting old and you can only stand to look at so many baby pictures.
A thoughtfulness that occurs when you've just had a long conversation and you're going over it in your head, remembering all the lines that made you smile and you'd like to keep for those grey days when you need a bit of sunshine and abruptly realizing that when he offhandedly mentioned that you seemed happier, you are. You really are.

Terminator: The Sarah Chronicles Season 1 had the best of both worlds with its focus on four main characters and an unusual family made up of teenage John Connor, his mother Sarah Connor, Cameron a cyborg made in the image of a teenage girl to pose as his sister to be his constant body guard everywhere he went, and uncle Derek Reese who will one day be a soldier in the adult John Connor's war against Skynet. So, Derek is a soldier who travelled back in time with Cameron to protect John from Skynet. The character development was great and focused on four leads. It was preachy at times with the coming of The Singularity and AI out of control. But, there was enough for everyday people to relate to with their family life they maintained to be low key to hide from Skynet.

I have no idea what other erudite cerebral topics SF could cover. That's why I'm not a writer, I don't have the imagination . But.... if you want quotes from ancient civilisations then Mil-SF is one place to look (not sure if this counts as 'civilised' ). They are often full of quotes from Tacticus (or do I mean Tacitus? One Roman, one Greek) or Sun Tzu or Alexander the Great, not to mention Kipling and Shakespeare. I come across historical quotes in other kinds of SF but much less often. Personally I find it irritating and pretentious it this is done too often. It feels to me as if the author is either lazy or trying to beat the reader round the head with their own classical knowledge. Much like the ST:TNG episodes that used Patrick Stewart's Shakespearian credentials to fill a few minutes of screen time. Not sure exactly what you mean by 'inbuilt logic conundrums' but it strikes me that this is down to the ability of the author, not something that should be deliberately included. I've read plenty of books over my life where the author was good enough that events or descriptions or tiny asides in one part of the book mean you understand actions, motivations, cultures or events in another part of the book. Without great long paragraphs explaining exactly what's happening. I agree about the obscure facts. Can't have too many obscure facts. I've seen a fair few over the years but it always adds to the enjoyment. My favourite was in a Robert Rankin book. For the life of me I can't confirm it anywhere on the internet, but it related to some special 'pills' doled out to pilgrims visiting the Dalai Lama. Maybe it's not an obscure fact at all . As for explanations of science and technology, loads of it. Usually at the hard SF end of the spectrum. Greg Egan's The Clockwork Rocket is practically a science lesson in a universe with timelike dimensions instead of spacelike. I first heard about the Lorentz-Fitzgerald Contraction theory in an SF book.
These books might be vastly outnumbered by the 'adventure stories in space' but they still exist and they are still getting published. Maybe there is no dumbing down by the publishers. Maybe there are just a lot more 'dumbed down' manuscripts being submitted and therefore a greater proportion of 'dumbed down' literature being published.
Bloody smileys still not working on my PC! Grrrrrrrr.

I would like to mention there is a big difference in the realism and science fiction between the three original TV movies of The Six Million Dollar Man and the TV series made afterwards. Besides his infrared vision in his bionic eye being green instead of red, all of the action scenes and science downloads were more realistic in the movies. In the credits, a medical prosthetic manufacturer was used for the bionic limbs to add more realism too.
The action was slowed down and made to look "artistic" (fake), like many other shows with action to please anti-violence lobbyists.
I watched the executive producer comments on the DVD box sets of Kung Fu and The Incredible Hulk to find out about these lobbyists and the hold they have on TV networks.
October 15th, 2012, 12:12 PM #19
It's safe to say they don't have the hold that they used to... which is good for viewers, as it means better and more diverse characters and more compelling situations.
There will always by TV viewers who believe "Friends" is the pinnacle of programming. Fortunately, there are a few of us who demand more from TV, and TV is rapidly learning that if we don't get the programming we want, we have plenty of alternatives. Any TV producer who assumes the only audience worth pursuing has no more than a 6th grade education is just plain... well, he has something in common with the viewers he covets.
October 15th, 2012, 08:48 PM #20
I( was just thinking today that Jethro from The Beverly Hillbillies seems to be the perfect role model of who the networks want to cater to with his "sixth-grade-educated-brain."
There is a void to be filled since Battlestar Galactica went off the air on SyFy.
October 17th, 2012, 12:18 PM #21
Yeah, I'd buy that with mustard: Jethro was just smart enough to be able to read, willing to accept any media fads pushed at him, and plenty of disposable income at hand. The perfect American television viewer.
I'd suggest Alphas is filling some of that void, but have to draw up short of suggesting any other series of that quality on Siffie. Still, I'd rather see more shows like Alphas than more shows like, say, Eureka or Warehouse 13; though they are fun shows, they are lighthearted sci-fi. I'd like more substance to my sandwich, not just piles of bacon.Last edited by Steven L Jordan; October 17th, 2012 at 12:22 PM.

I am watching Alphas and I am happy to see Summer Glau getting work on that series.
I see the series as being shallow without layered characters and story.
October 23rd, 2012, 04:20 PM #23
So, you watch it, you like that SG's on it... but you say it's shallow?
I agree that it's not Macbeth, but I don't think I'd call Alphas "shallow" (at least, not compared to 95 percent of TV fare). Still, to each his own.
A show that ran briefly on last year's BBC America, Outcasts, seemed like it had a well-organized setting and rounded characters; but it got pulled in no time flat.
I don't know what it would take to get a good-quality SF show back on the air at this point, other than Galactica's method: Suggest lots of battles and conflict, surprise your audience with sex, then load up on soapy relationships. It seems to be the way to sell drama these days.Last edited by Steven L Jordan; October 23rd, 2012 at 04:23 PM.

No delay for 'don't ask, don't tell' ruling, so Pentagon takes gays - for now
A federal judge refuses to suspend last week's ruling that the Pentagon must stop enforcement of 'don't ask, don't tell.' So the Pentagon says it will comply and accept openly gay recruits. But it cautions that the ruling is being appealed.
Lucas Jackson/Reuters
A federal judge in California refused on Tuesday to postpone a worldwide injunction issued last week blocking enforcement of the Defense Department's "don't ask, don't tell" policy banning gays from serving openly in the military.
US District Judge Virginia Phillips said the government had failed to prove the injunction would disrupt military operations or undercut readiness.
Instead, she said the don't ask, don't tell policy itself undercuts military efficiency. The judge said it also irreparably injures service members by violating their fundamental rights.
The action sets the stage for an expanding national battle over gay rights in the federal courts on issues ranging from receipt of federal benefits, to gay marriage, to service in the armed forces.
"[The government has] not shown … a likelihood [it] will suffer irreparable harm," Judge Phillips wrote in a six-page decision rejecting the requested stay. "The injunction requires [the government] to cease investigating and discharging service members pursuant to the Act. It does not affect [the government's] ability to revise [its] policies and regulations nor to develop training and education programs."
Government lawyers had asked Judge Phillips to stay her ruling invalidating the don't ask, don't tell policy to allow enough time to appeal the case to the Ninth US Circuit Court of Appeals.

Seems Stella Damasus has suddenly turned an inspirational speaker.
Read her latest inspirational message below…
Some have mocked me, laughed at me, and even said I was not worth it. They have said I am not pretty enough, my nose is not straight enough, and my lips are too thick, my eyes are too small; trust me they have laughed at my legs, my round face and huge cheeks.
I smile through it all because I know that the one who formed, moulded and created me, is the perfect one who never makes mistakes. I love me and I love the God who created me and called me his child. He says I am beautiful no matter what they say.
I encourage to stand up, look at yourself in the mirror and remind yourself that your creator never makes mistakes. Remind yourself that the God we serve is beautiful and so if you were created in his own image, then guess what….. YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL!

Shipp's departure shocks 2014 DT offer
By Brandon Chatmon
Just over a week ago, Jackie Shipp was making a strong impression on
Zaycoven Henderson
(Longview, Texas/Longview) during Oklahoma's junior day on Feb. 2. The Sooners' former defensive tackles coach had laid a foundation of trust with Henderson, one of three defensive tackles with OU offers in the Class of 2014.
Now, all that groundwork is gone after OU announced Shipp won't return as defensive tackles coach in 2013.
"I was on Twitter and they were like, 'I can't believe Coach Shipp is gone,' " Henderson said of how he heard the news on Tuesday. "So I called him and he was like, 'Yeah I got released today.' I was like 'What? I was just at Oklahoma, what happened?' He didn't really want to talk about it and I understand that. [But] I was like, 'What did he do wrong?'"
Losing Shipp definitely hurts the Sooners chances with Henderson but it's not a devastating blow.
"They were real high but it didn't hurt them too bad because I like Oklahoma anyway," Henderson said. "But it would have been nice to have Coach Shipp as a coach because he was so cool and straightforward."
Henderson boasts offers from OU, TCU and Baylor and is likely to see his offer list increase over the spring and summer. And as those new schools come in, Henderson might have more of an open mind than he would have if Shipp remained on OU's coaching staff.
"I don't have any bad thoughts about the Sooners," Henderson said. "I was looking forward to Coach Shipp being my coach but now he's gone it's opened up a chance for other schools. But I'm not counting Oklahoma out just yet. And probably won't. They're still in the running, for sure."

Made you look! This is for the benefit of any newbies that have asked that question, and got hit with the standard response from the old-timers to try several types of ammo to find out what YOUR gun likes. I was just cleaning up some stuff in the playroom and came across an old "ammo test" target for one of my 10/22's. This shows why you really should try as many different types/brands as you can to answer that question for yourself. For reference, the black dots are 3/4" target pasters, 5 shot groups @ 50yds. The one hole that is x'ed-out was a called flier. (I sneezed and had an AD.)

I think anyone should start out with Federal and move towards Winchester. Remington Golden being last of course
Try CCI Velocitors they shoot nice out of my gun.
I agree with the OP. The only one I would stay away from is Remington, their rimfire ammo sucks!
If the pain is lacking so is the discipline... "the only 911 call I need is chambering a round" - Mr. Muller, MO car dealer
As much as I like to shoot, I like darn near anything that goes bang.
I will not own a .22 that won't shoot Walmart bulk packs - period. The Federal bulk and Winchester 333 (when I find it) are what I use the most. I stay away from Remington rimfire ammo as it's the worst I've seen...
I like the walmart Federal bulk packs also! Great ammo at a great price. Every now and then I'll take a ride to Cabelas and treat myself to some Wolf match ammo though. Funny thing--my ruger mark III doesnt really like the winchester stuff (the 333 pack for about 10 bucks). But my marlin60 likes it just fine, so I keep plenty of that on hand too. And I'll say it too--stay away from the remington rimfire. Boy-howdy does that stuff suck! I like the remington for my 9mm though. Happy shooting!
I find it interesting the overwelming opinion that Remington was the worst shooting .22 RF ammo. I bought a bulk pack last summer because that was what was available and I was totally amazed when it produced 3/4 inch groups or better at 50 yards out of my 10/22. The 10/22 has been tricked out but is all Ruger parts. I shot several 1/2 inch groups that day but that was not the norm. I bought another Rem Bulk Pack a week ago and am anxious to see if I get the same performance. I also bought a 50 round box of Rem. Eley Match ($9.95) to see how they compared. One observation is that there is not a lot to choose from these days on the dealer shelf. This is clearly not written to say anyone else was wrong on their ammo evaluation but to again highlight that each firearm is an individual and you have to see what they like. My 10/22 just happens to be a cheap date!
DurmJunkie, Man, here in Georgia we have laws against stealing ammunition like that! LOL


text: [[quoteright:379:[[Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/la-stairs_7308.jpg]]]]->''"You are in a maze of twisty little passages, all alike."''-->-- '''[[VideoGame/ColossalCave Colossal Cave Adventure]]'''Dungeon Crawling is the act of exploring a dungeon (or other dangerous area) while looking for treasure or [[PlotCoupon some other]] [[MacGuffin important object]]. The characters must [[EverythingTryingToKillYou battle enemies (usually monsters)]] and use their [[VideoGameItemsAndInventory skills and equipment]] to negotiate obstacles (usually [[BoobyTrap traps]]). Usually, but not always, there is a BossBattle at some point, and a MacGuffin or PlotCoupon at the end.This is basically what many {{Role Playing Game}}s (especially video game ones) are all about - at least historically - but it is actually one of TheOldestOnesInTheBook, since even myths feature it (a trip into the underworld is part of TheHerosJourney, after all). However, it was the ''Cliffhanger'' film serials of the early 20th century [[TropeCodifier that defined the trope]], and the ''Franchise/IndianaJones'' movies that made it popular again later.The term comes from early {{RPG}}s, such as ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons'', that often had the player characters exploring some wizard's dungeon. "Dungeon crawl" is analogous to "pub crawl," a continual stroll from dungeon to dungeon to dungeon.Note that in RealLife a "dungeon" was a type of prison, often in the lower parts of a castle, but the games expanded it to mean "any ruins or subterranean area." In fact, the term is used today for ''any'' dangerous area in an RPG, even open-air ones, as long as the same fight-your-way-across logic applies to it. This is usually to distinguish it from the two other kinds of locale in such games, [[ThrivingGhostTown towns]] (generally defined as anywhere that has [[TalkToEveryone peaceful NPCs]] or [[AdamSmithHatesYourGuts businesses]] like [[SortingAlgorithmOfWeaponEffectiveness stores]], [[TraumaInn hotels]] and [[YouAllMeetInAnInn bars]]) and [[OverworldNotToScale the overworld]] (which, in most cases, is exclusively for getting between towns and dungeons, with the only real obstacles being {{Random Encounter}}s.)Apparently the whole dungeon shtick originated from a skirmish wargame played by Gygax, Arneson and others that involved breaking into a castle through the cellars - this turned out to be so much fun that tunnel fighting became a regular theme. Stir in [[Creator/JRRTolkien Professor Tolkien]]'s Moria scenario for a little fantasy and the rest, as they say, is [[TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons history]].With the increasing trend towards WideOpenSandbox-type game designs, the term "Dungeon Crawl" has taken on a certain derogatory connotation when used to describe a game. It is usually synonymous with TheMaze, which not only represents the opposing [[SlidingScaleOfLinearityVsOpenness linear]] game design tradition, but also implies developer laziness. The ease with which a dungeon generally forces players to follow [[OneTrueSequence one path]] through a game and [[FakeLongevity keep them tied up for a long time in a small space]], all without having to [[InsurmountableWaistHeightFence resort to illogical barriers]], is all too easy for developers, and annoying to players. Dungeons, after all, are reasonably expected to be fully enclosed structures whose walls are well reinforced -- often by the very earth itself, if located underground, as they often are -- making a single, static path through them more or less "justified". Dungeon Crawls often cheaply limit options for traversing them using a spaghetti strand of enclosed corridors, keys and doors, and other barriers requiring unique items to surmount them -- all of which are less realistically implemented in a wide-open setting.Dungeon Crawlers are also a subgenre of [=RPG=]s in which the story, setting, and town areas (usually one at most) are downplayed in favor of massive dungeons requiring level grinding, trap-avoidance, and endurance. {{Roguelikes}} are a subgenre of dungeon crawler, further distinguished by [[RandomlyGeneratedLevels procedural level generation]] and highly unforgiving game mechanics.Not to be confused with the game ''VideoGame/DungeonCrawl'', though it is a good example of this trope.Compare AdventurerArchaeologist.!!!Subtropes:* BonusDungeon* DiscOneFinalDungeon* DungeonTown* TheMaze* NoobCave* TheVeryDefinitelyFinalDungeon'''Note:''' Several other video game settings, such as TempleOfDoom, aren't necessarily dungeon-specific - they could also refer to themed PlatformGame levels, or to places of relative safety.----!!Examples:[[foldercontrol]][[folder: Anime and Manga ]]* The main point of ''Manga/MagiLabyrinthOfMagic''. People seek to conquer the dangerous dungeons that have started appearing all over the world for fame, glory, and power.* ''Manga/MahouSenseiNegima'' has Nodoka doing this after she gets separated from everyone else during [[spoiler: the gateport incident]], and choosing her share of treasure like a professional [[MinMaxing MinMaxer]].** The Baka Rangers' excursion to Library Island (and everything the Library Expedition Club did) definitely counts too. Nodoka even references it as the source of her [[http://www.mangafox.com/manga/mahou_sensei_negima/v23/c205/19.html trap-spotting skills]].[[/folder]][[folder: Fanfiction ]]* Done in ''FanFic/TheDresdenFillies'' when Harry and the mane six enter [[spoiler: Trixie's]] castle to rescue Spike.[[/folder]][[folder: Films ]]* In ''Anime/TheFumaConspiracy'', the second half of the movie is dedicated to Lupin & the gang exploring an ancient cave to find the treasure. DurableDeathtraps abound.[[/folder]][[folder: Literature ]]* One early fantasy depiction of Dungeon Crawling was the Fellowship's passage through Moria in ''[[Literature/TheLordOfTheRings The Fellowship of the Ring]]''.* Very common in ''SwordAndSorcery fiction'':** The Creator/LordDunsany story ''The Hoard of the Gibbelins'' is one of the earliest examples and is close to an UrExample of the genre.** Common in Literature/FafhrdAndTheGrayMouser stories such as ''The Jewels in the Forest'' and ''Thieves House''* There are some scenes reminiscent of this trope in ''{{Dracula}}'', although they omit the "and take the monster's stuff" step once the monster (Lucy) has been tracked to her underground crypt and dispatched. Later vampire novels have added other elements of this trope, like death-traps (''Salem's Lot'') and guardians to protect the sleeping undead.* Seems to be given a knowing nod in the ''{{Dragaera}}'' story "The Desecrator", in which desecrator is the Dragaeran term for archeologist, but the job has the typical fantasy cast of raiding ancient structures for treasure and having to fend off magical barriers.* In the ''Literature/Alcatraz'' series, librarians are all either evil cultists or vengeful undead, therefore every time the heroes infiltrate a library, it turns into dungeon crawling with monsters, traps and other dangers.* As its title suggests, the majority of the plot of [[PercyJacksonAndTheOlympians Percy Jackson and the Battle of the Labyrinth]] is DungeonCrawling.[[/folder]][[folder: Live Action TV ]]* HerculesTheLegendaryJourneys gave us the MadeForTVMovie ''Hercules in the Underworld'', which was inspired by the story of Hercules' twelfth labour (see Mythology below).* In the ''Series/{{Angel}}'' episode "Awakening" has Angel and his friends travel to hidden subterraean caverns to find a mythical sword, the only thing that can kill the [[NighInvulnerability Nigh Invulnerable]] Beast, who had [[TheNightThatNeverEnds blocked out the sun]]. [[spoiler: The find the sword, kill the Beast and bring daylight back - unfortunatly, it's AllJustADream to give Angel a moment of perfect happiness and make him lose his soul]].* The trek through the Cave of the Winds in ''Series/BuckRogersInTheTwentyFifthCentury'', "Journey to Oasis".[[/folder]][[folder: Mythology ]]* A number of Ancient Greek heroes (Orpheus, [[{{Homer}} Odysseus]], Heracles) go into the Underworld, where they face challenges like from monsters (such as Cerberus), obstacles (such as the River Styx), and gods. It's as early as [[Literature/TheAeneid Rome]] that the scene starts getting [[{{Deconstruction}} deconstructed]]. Perseus, who doesn't go into the literal Underworld, might be the straightest Ancient Greek version of this trope in the sense of "go underground, kill monsters, take their stuff."* [[TheMaze Theseus and the Minotaur.]] [[/folder]][[folder: Newspaper Comics ]]* A few years ago, ''PrinceValiant'' ran a story where the local dwarves, the [[CelticMythology Tuatha,]] kidnap Aleta into their subterranean realm. Val and a group of companions have to pursue them into the dark tunnels, fighting weird monsters and finally discovering the [[Literature/TheLordOfTheRings vast underground city of the dwarves.]] The whole thing was very clearly meant as an affectionate homage to TabletopGames and this trope.[[/folder]][[folder: Tabletop Games ]]* The ''TabletopGame/ArkhamHorror'' spinoff ''TabletopGame/MansionsOfMadness'' is this genre as applied to the CthulhuMythos, with areas such as churches, university buildings, estate grounds, and the eponymous mansions serving as the dungeon.* Similarly, ''BetrayalAtHouseOnTheHill'' is a modern-day, horror-based example of this genre.* ''VideoGame/DragonFable'' has the 100 Rooms of Doom dungeon.* ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons'' is probably, if not the TropeNamer, at least the TropeCodifier. "Killing evil and stealing its stuff" is the game's unofficial motto, after all.** And there is also the old TSR board game 'Dungeon', which literally is "Wander through the wizard's dungeon picking up treasure."** Interesting to note is that when Gary Gygax started making fantasy rules for Chainmail, D&D's precursor, he moved the action from standard tabletop war game battlefields to underground dungeons so he could save time and money on designing maps.* ''WarhammerFantasyRoleplay'' allows for this style of play (alongside many others), and has had many dungeon-based adventures published for its three editions over its thirty-odd year existence. The original Warhammer wargame can be used to stage underground battles between adventurers and monsters too, and this was very much a popular use for it in its early days.* [=HeroQuest=] was a simple dungeon crawler boardgame, produced jointly by Creator/GamesWorkshop and MB Games in the late 80s, set in the ''TabletopGame/{{Warhammer}}'' world. A more complex and in-depth version with some RPG elements called Advanced Heroquest was produced by Games Workshop alone. Sci-fi versions set on giant derelict spacecraft - Space Crusade and Advanced Space Crusade - followed the same pattern.* Warhammer Quest was a dungeon crawl themed board/tabletop game with RPG elements, also set in the ''Warhammer'' world.* ''TabletopGame/{{GURPS}}'' has a sub-gameline, ''Dungeon Fantasy'', devoted exclusively to this genre. It is one of the most popular parts of the line.* ''MageKnight'' had a variant called Dungeons which pitted teams of heroes against each other as well as against the monsters and traps.* ''TabletopGame/{{Munchkin}}'' is nothing but this. Along with much backstabbing and stealing.* The Creator/GamesWorkshop BoardGame ''TabletopGame/SpaceHulk'' is basically this genre RecycledInSpace liberally crossed with the Creator/JamesCameron film ''Film/{{Aliens}}''.* ''Thunderstone'' is a deckbuilding game in which you build your deck in the village, then take it to the dungeon to kill monsters.* One of ''TabletopGame/{{TheSplinter}}'''s two realities (The Realm) was created as by the citizens of the other (Earthside) to serve as a hyper-realisitic infinite dungeon crawl, making it a diegetic dungeon crawl within a recursive RPG.[[/folder]][[folder: Video Games ]]* The very core of ''Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda'' and its many, many sequels is DungeonCrawling.* ''VideoGame/{{Wizardry}}'' came out in 1981. But Richard Garriot (of ''Franchise/{{Ultima}}'') released ''Akalabeth'' in 1979. The game name comes from part of ''Literature/TheSilmarillion''; such "homages" were common with Garriot in his early games. Of course, ''Dungeons and Dragons'' came out in 1974...around the same time "Dungeon" was a popular game on mainframe computers. ** Between D&D and Dungeon was pedit5[=/=]orthanc1, m199h and VideoGame/{{dnd}} for the [[MainframesAndMinicomputers PLATO Network]].* Also released in 1979 was Creator/{{Epyx}}'s ''VideoGame/TempleOfApshai'', where the entire point of the game was to enter the Apshai temples, fight the monsters, and grab the loot.* ''Franchise/ShinMegamiTensei'' was originally a classic first-person crawler like those mentioned above, then became a third-person crawler with occasional first-person elements.* The ''VideoGame/{{Diablo}}'' series, which began life as a {{Roguelike}} which had you killing demons and undead in a sixteen-level dungeon and ultimately became the HackAndSlash series we know and love today.* ''VideoGame/EtrianOdyssey'' is a contemporary dungeon crawler that pays homage to games like ''VideoGame/{{Wizardry}}'' and introduces some spins of its own, most notably the F.O.E.s which are visible [[BeefGate boss-like]] [[BossInMookClothing enemies]] that move with each step you take.* ''MasterOfTheMonsterLair'' features this -- with a dungeon you make yourself -- along with a deconstruction of some of the assumptions usually implicit to this premise; having a dungeon near your town is considered ''desirable'', as it acts as a tourist attraction, lures monsters out of the wilderness where they pose more of a danger to ordinary people, and the items monsters hoard in dungeons can be quite valuable. In this game and ''MyWorldMyWay'', which is an [[IntercontinuityCrossover otherwise unconnected game that takes place in the same world]], "Dungeon Maker" is a respected profession.** Global A has done a couple of other games like this, such as the ''Dungeon Maker'' trilogy, including ''VideoGame/DungeonMakerIITheHiddenWar'', and ''Adventures to Go!''* Ubiquitous in ''Franchise/FinalFantasy'' games, but [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyI the original game]] has some of the most basic examples. Not surprising, considering how much it owes to ''D&D''.* ''VideoGame/{{Runescape}}'''s Dungeoneering skill is exactly what you'd expect.* ''VideoGame/WorldOfWarcraft'', along with the bulk of its MMO kindred, buries most of its best treasure in various dungeons.* As mentioned above, the {{Roguelike}} ''VideoGame/DungeonCrawl'' is ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin.* ''SolomonsKeep'' for the iPhone is one, where you use a student wizard to traverse the eponymous keep, fight monsters and bosses, loot treasure and defeat the evil necromancer- as his graduation exam, no less.* Parodied in ''PlanescapeTorment'' with the Rubikon Dungeon Construct. The Modrons, beings of pure Law, are trying to study dungeon crawls in order to understand them, so they create a simulated dungeon with randomly generated rooms, filled with identical constructs that drop "loot" which looks valuable but is entirely worthless, even as VendorTrash. Somewhere in the dungeon is the Evil Wizard Construct, who is a CardCarryingVillain that you have to fight because that's what evil wizards are for.* The many, many caves you have to explore in the various Franchise/{{Pokemon}} games. Places like, for example, [[VideoGame/PokemonRedAndBlue Silph Co. and the Pokemon Tower in Lavender Town]] also count, as they both have stuff to find and are crawling with enemies to defeat, and usually contain one final Boss.* A staple of ''Franchise/TheElderScrolls'' series. Most quests seem to involve as [[VideoGame/TheElderScrollsVSkyrim Farengar]] put it 'delving into an ancient ruin' usually to defeat a particular enemy or to aquire an item for the quest-giver. Usually this is the main method of getting loot such as weapons, armour and other things [[VendorTrash you can sell at a later date]].* In both ''VideoGame/MegamanLegends'' games, the protagonist is a Digger, someone who made exploring the many enigmatic ruins in the ScavengerWorld their profession. True enough, exploring these ruins is how you acquire most of the equipment and money you need.* ''VideoGame/StarFoxAdventures'' has both Krazoa Palace and the two Force Point Temples. In terms of gameplay, the four satellital regions of Sauria are explored like dungeons, but they're more into DungeonTown territory.* The trope is downplayed in ''VideoGame/{{Okami}}'' and ''VideoGame/{{Okamiden}}'', since the dungeons and mini-dungeons are a secondary aspect of the games, both in plot and in gameplay, and only two of them (Moon Cave and Oni Island) are noticeably complex.* One of the major gameplay devices in ''VideoGame/{{Pikmin}} 2'' is exploring underground caves that are based on different everyday places. These caves can be either short, long or ''gargantuan'', depending on the case.* Dungeons are present in the first ''VideoGame/BaldursGate'', but almost all of them are optional and relatively small. Most of the time you'll be exploring the wilderness instead. The second game put much more emphasis on dungeons though, with more, larger and more complex dungeons, and very few wilderness areas to explore. Both {{Expansion Pack}}s added massive {{Bonus Dungeon}}s for your crawling needs: Durlag's Tower and Watcher's Keep, both of which have multiple levels, nasty monsters and traps, and of course treasure.[[/folder]][[folder: Webcomics ]]* ''Webcomic/TheOrderOfTheStick'' started off as this, before the CerebusSyndrome hit it. One of the compilation books is even called ''Dungeon Crawling Fools''. There's also a lampshading of the activity by the cleric Mallack in reference to his membership in an evil adventuring party, "Ah, the life of an adventuring cleric. I remember it well. A perpetual struggle to maintain the hit point totals of four or five nigh-suicidal tomb robbers determined to deplete them at all costs."[[/folder]][[folder:Web Original]]* Under the surface of the world of ''Literature/MotherOfLearning'' is an enormous catacomb of tunnels literally referred to as "The Dungeon". Many missions for young mages involve going down into the dungeons.[[/folder]][[folder: Western Animation ]]* ReBoot has one of these during the episode ''Wizards, Warriors, And A Word From Our Sponsors''. 66 floors of RPG references and parodies.* Parodied in the Dragon Pig episode in the Season 2 of ''Wakfu''. The Dragon Pig's lair is built like a typical RPG-dungeon, giving [[IdiotHero Tristepin]] an edge due to being [[GenreSavvy "the only one of us with experience from dungeon crawls"]].* ''WesternAnimation/AdventureTime'': "Vault of Bones" has Finn take Flame Princess to a real life version of a dungeon crawl. It plays out much like that sort of video game would. ** Got a video game adaptation called ''Explore the Dungeon Because I Don't Know!'' that will be set entirely in Princess Bubblegum's dungeon.[[/folder]][[folder: Real Life ]]* It is the job of [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tunnel_Rat Tunnel Rats]] (most notably in Vietnam and other guerrilla wars) to crawl into insurgent tunnel complexes to search for weapons, intelligence and the enemy. Being a tunnel rat is one of the worst jobs one can draw as it was highly dangerous and possibly one of the quickest paths to PTSD.* This has also been the job of military enginneers since [[OlderThanDirt fortification was invented]]. One of the main ways to break down a wall, if you can do it, is to dig under the wall, burn the supports to the tunnels and let gravity do its job (it's more effective setting off a charge of gunpowder but works more or less the same). One of the most effective counters to that is to dig under that tunnel and do the same thing. If two tunnels run into each other they fight underground. Now do you see ''just one'' reason why TheEngineer is considered a {{Badass}} kind of soldier?[[/folder]]----
