I hope that hopeless for you -- is not what hopeless for me, was.
I discovered that I had reached of place of total hopeless-ness. I couldn't live sober and I didn't want to die drunk. My alcoholism was killing me regardless if I drank it or didn't drink it -- and I couldn't keep from going back to it, over and over and over and over again.
For me, I realized, that with God's help -- or without God's help -- I still couldn't stay sober.
I didn't believe that God could or would help me and even if He did -- like I said, I knew that I couldn't do it. I didn't have faith. I didn't have hope. And, I didn't believe.
Here's what I did -- that may have been what helped. I told God that I couldn't do it. And, I told God that I didn't believe I could do it -- even if He did help me. I faced the facts as I understood them -- that my alcoholism was going to kill me, drunk or sober. You see, sobriety was killing me as much or more and faster than the alcohol was killing me. Drinking just seemed to slow down my demise and make it more bearable -- until sobriety would finally do me in.
So, knowing that I couldn't do it alone, or with all of A.A.'s help, and even with God's help and all of A.A.'s help -- I made an agreement with God, and said "I am willing to go to any lengths to act as if -- it might work and that you might help me."
I began to take actions that I did not believe in. Praying to a God, that I did not believe could help me. Taking the 12 Steps and "acting as if" they would help -- when deep in my heart I believed that it was no use. I did it anyway. And, I made a commitment to do it with all that I had in me, going to any lengths to do what I had to do -- for as long as I could -- before the sobriety killed me.
As I see it today -- almost 24 yrs sober, later -- I still don't believe that I can do it, with or without God's help. Yet, I'm sober. And, I've continued to stay sober. And, I'm comfortable with my sobriety. I'm at peace in my heart and mind. I feel happy and most of the time I experience pure joy in my daily living. I've just simply continued acting as if I could do it -- with God's help and with the help of the fellowship of A.A.
What I do believe -- is that by "acting as if" it would work, and doing it anyway, what must have happened, somewhere along the way is -- I stumbled upon something, that helped me to get myself out of God's way -- and He ended up doing for me -- what I still cannot do for myself.
That's all I really know about it. I can't. We can't (in my case) -- but, God did. And, God does.
I'm no saint. I have plenty of short-comings. I do try and go to any lengths to do the right thing -- right now. But, I also do often fail. And, I know that and I admit it.
I stumbled upon something one day when I was reading pages 13 & 14, in Bill's Story, that I have now experienced. Bill wrote about the "Belief -- in the Power of God." Not -- belief in God, as I had expected to read -- but, "Belief in the Power of God -- PLUS ENOUGH" of the other elements that Bill went on to write down.
Today, there is something I can honestly say, that happened to me. I came to believe, and I now believe in The Power -- of God. I can't and He does. All I can do is take the actions and try to get myself out of His way so that He will continue to do.
This rambling may not help you -- but it helped me. I needed to share it.

And this week isn't likely to be much more productive—the hubs and I are off on a last-minute getaway to Phoenix, to see even more basketball! Our two favorite teams (his alma mater and mine) are not only both in the Sweet 16, they're in the same bracket. What are the odds? We decided this was the perfect year to see the madness in person—and get a little kid-free time in the bargain. And it's all thanks to my wonderful dad, who agreed to drop everything and come stay here with the girls while we're gone. Thank you, Dad!

Agreed - the think geek one is less than impressive too, and simply using letters like the S from playstation and the T from nintendo like those are nearly as recognizable as logos is just a reach.
These represent: Apple Ubuntu Debian SkyOS Google Chrome Solaris and of course Windows
Everyone I know with a "Coexist" bumper sticker is a liberal. Nothing against them, though. Just saying. Shutting up now.
This is so nerdy I cannot enjoy it.
My very first computer was a Macintosh. But sadly, it broke. My second computer was Windows 98. Ah, the days of Red Alert and Solitaire. I never looked back.
tomcall wrote:Everyone I know with a "Coexist" bumper sticker is a liberal. Nothing against them, though. Just saying. Shutting up now.
That's because conservatives are intolerant of other religions, and you can't exactly spell "assimilate" with purely crosses. That said, there's no real merit to an over-used and ergo uncreative bumpersticker. This is an over-utilized theme that has apparently already been done to this theme. Which means it should probably be reprinted some time next year like Evil-O-Meter.
C - Apple O - Ubuntu E - Debian X - SkyOS I - Chrome S - Solaris T - Windows
Without Googling... Apple Ubuntu Debian ? Chrome Sun Microsoft Personally, Apple doesn't coexist with anybody.

and Not seeing the "T" in the Windows logo. well, you are just full of thoughtless comments today... this is definitely the "blue screen of death" as it is officially termed. and how long did you try to figure out the "T" before your post?
I love this, because I often rant about how much I can't stand the operating system wars. In for one.
Add me to the list of people who'd buy the sticker, but not the shirt. I really don't feel like having to explain it every time I leave the house.

That's one of the best write-ups ever. Nice work, woot. For those who'd like to know a bit more about Debian, please read this: Debain WrEtch: review of an UnAmerican Linux system. It's dated, but still rings true.
I came. Seriously, though, clever shirt. You have my ten bills.
I've always liked the videogaming version because it's a nice sentiment. And I'm an omnivore when it comes to games.
meh why would you want mac os or windows when you can have the Stargate Command Dialing OS... u can go through the stargate, steal some ancient or gouald technology and then destroy apple out of spite for you as a iphone 4 owner having to "HOLD IT A DIFFERENT WAY" and destroy windows for all the money Bill Gates is burrying with him when he dies.... the rest well the rest are already dealt with
it's just nice to see something recognize the existence of Ubuntu...
At first I thought it was code for Apple OSX is windows LOL
The general public will recognize Apple and Windows, and nothing more. It'd be worth wearing this only at some nerdy convention.
Would this be a good Christmas gift for my brother-in-law who loves playing X-Box360 and does something with computers for work? I am sure half the people on here have a similar hobby and job. Please let me know.
okay major props for having the SkyOS logo there... wish the project itself hadn't fallen into oblivion tho :|
Well it got me. Why? Because through the difficult to read word there is some irony there. Apple doesn't coexist with anyone, not even Prius drivers.
Then you obviously know nothing about computers because Apple is the one that never coexists with anyone.
Getting one for a friend who thinks Ubuntu > Mac. It's kind of a peace offering.

A nice looking grid-based portfolio that changes color every time you refresh the page. The hover effects drop the color overlay and show the artwork in its true form. A nice effect that really brings focus to where the mouse is.
Posted in Web Design → PortfolioThis site uses a giant iPad to display the designer portfolio. To mimic the functionality of the real iPad, you click and swipe to advance to the next image; a clever idea!
Posted in Web Design → PortfolioThis site is the portfolio of designer and student Chris Kinsey. The mixture of bold condensed and script fonts in the headline is a really nice combination. I also like the color scheme and the refreshingly different layout of the thumbnails and descriptions.
Posted in Web Design → PortfolioA fairly simple but attractive portfolio page with a horizontal image slider as the main visual element. Note the repetitive use of the dot pattern and the generous use of whitespace.
Posted in Web Design → PortfolioA simple but effective portfolio site that makes great use of a Twitter feed. I like the typography displayed here and the muted grayscale color palette.
Posted in Web Design → PortfolioA really great looking portfolio page with super thin typography, a subtle background texture and even a little bit of humor. I love the contrast of the yellow on the black. These two colors always make a bold statement when combined and the result here is a fairly classy theme.
Posted in Web Design → PortfolioA really unique looking portfolio with vertical rectangle samples and intense color. The design of this site is quite bold and even features an alternate style accessible via a button in the navigation. An interesting and fun idea!
Posted in Web Design → PortfolioAn attractive but simple portfolio site with some crazy work on display. I really like the hover effect on the thumbnails and the choice of fonts for the site.
Posted in Web Design → PortfolioThis site is for an iPad app that allows designers to create a digital portable portfolio. The page design is really classy and minimal with nice thin typography and bold contrast with the iPad frame.
Posted in Web Design → SoftwareThis site features a very thin layout with an extremely linear progression. Each portfolio piece is displayed one right after the other with a quick button to return to the top. The page is simple but effective and the work on display is quite beautiful.
Posted in Web Design → PortfolioThis site uses a very simple layout to pull off a classy and minimal portfolio. The biggest section on the page is the work sample slider which really gives emphasis to the talent of the designer and therefore highlights the product for sale.
Posted in Web Design → PortfolioAn interesting take on the grid-based portfolio. I like the hover effects and the scattered client quotes. Those really help to provide comfort for potential clients who might be wary about hiring a designer they are not familiar with.
Posted in Web Design → PortfolioThis site presents an interesting mix of grunge textures and modern design elements. I love the shadows under the portfolio items and the faux sticker look.
Posted in Web Design → PortfolioA really nice freelance design portfolio with a solid layout and some fun illustrations. I really appreciate how well thought the entire page is from top to bottom. The area above the footer is just as nice as the header.
Posted in Web Design → PortfolioA nice looking portfolio page that uses a shelf effect and an image slider to really show of the work well. I am not crazy about the giant sticky and would like to see more of the chalk drawing behind it but otherwise I think the designers have done a great job.
Posted in Web Design → PortfolioTheory Design is the online portfolio of Ryan McCaster, a designer from Vancouver. The rough texture watercolor background is the star of this site, perfectly accented by all of the inset letterpress effects on the graphical elements.
Posted in Web Design → PortfolioA well designed portfolio with an attractive black and white theme. When you hover over one of the thumbnails the picture is shown in color. A nice effect!
Posted in Web Design → PortfolioThis is a really unique portfolio site. I love that the designer took a grainy photo and just went with that aesthetic. The typography is brilliant and the page looks outstanding. A really awesome spin on minimalist design!
Posted in Web Design → PortfolioThis site features a really unique design that incorporates lots of different colors and an abstract rectangle theme. The colors, textures, icons and typography all come together to make a really excellent finished product.
Posted in Web Design → PortfolioThis unique portfolio site features sort of a dark and mysterious design. It is a bit different than the type of design we normally feature and should inspire you to consider alternate styles when creating something that really fits your personality.

Old Shanghai Street -- Shopping
(Old Jiaochang road)
Central South Central Shanghai
(Not Specified)
An interesting shopping experience for young and old alike can be found on Old Shanghai street and the surrounding neighborhood. Turning west at the end of Old Jiaochang road brings you down a very touristy street with an Old China feel where you'll be hounded to buy chops, old posters, tea and knick-knacks of all sorts. Two expensive but authentic looking tea houses are also on this stretch.
To the west lies a seedier area selling more useful items, things like clothes, DVDs and a few stalls offering software of dubious legality.
Old Shanghai street itself takes up the northwest quarter of the neighborhood, and has a variety of cool restaurants and interesting gardens, ponds, and Chinese architecture. Also to be found in this neighborhood are old temples and a variety of shops selling traditional Chinese snacks.

On the registration line, Nancy said it looks like registration for a folk festival. The Times and Tribune both had reporters here last week, and we followed the daily reports in the Times. Today's Trib, which we bought in Columbus [Ohio], has a couple of very good articles, including one by a psychiatrist, Robt. Coles, who has studied Negro rights workers in the South. Amazingly enough, a very elegant wedding is going on outside our window – I suppose the dinner was in the dining room, which we overlook. The beards, blue-jeans, and blacks have tactfully segregated themselves elsewhere, so that the wedding party will be able to retain their idyllic memories unsullied. It is dreadfully hot & muggy – orientation with a vengeance. Nancy and I are both nervous and, as always with mass arrivals of this sort, are both feeling hostile. We can't imagine why everyone else is so chipper. At registration we were asked to list in order of preference which of the 5 projects we want to work on – so that perhaps our assignments aren't final.

Steel,You have a nice blend of cheese and sauce. Do you put the cheese on before the sauce?
If you compare the pans in the pics posted earlier in this thread (http://www.pizzamaking.com/forum/index.php/topic,3783.msg62851.html#msg62851) with these pans from PA Products, Rectangular Blue Steel Pizza Pans (http://www.paprod.com/pans.html), you'll see that they're the same. These are excellent quality, they're 16 Gauge blue steel (iow, they're magic) so they're perfect for a quick hot bake that browns easily and they're inexpensive at $7.95 ea. I bought a dozen and had them shipped to my home in PA for $113. I believe that Buddy's uses the 12x17's for 8 square and 8x10's for 4 square.
Steel Baker,Did you get a chance to make a pizza with your new pans? How did it turn out?Grilled

The State Legislature meets at the Kansas State Capitol in Topeka.
As of May 2013, Kansas is one of 24 Republican state government trifectas.
Bleeding Kansas
The Kansas Territory was created out of the Kansas-Nebraska Act in 1854. In several of the provisions of the act, the law allowed the settlers of the newly-created territory to determine, by vote, whether Kansas, once statehood was achieved, would be entered as either a free state or a slave state. The act created a rush of both abolitionist Northern and pro-slavery Southern immigrants to the territory, hoping that strength through numbers would place Kansas in their camp. Animosities between the newly-arrived sides quickly turned into open violence and guerrilla warfare, giving name to this period known as Bleeding Kansas.
The Bogus Legislature
During Kansas' first elections for a territorial government on March 30, 1855, nearly 5,000 Missouri "Border Ruffians" led by federal Senator David Rice Atchison and his followers, crossed the territorial border to stuff ballot boxes with votes for pro-slavery candidates. Using their overwhelming numbers, the Missouri Border Ruffians elected 37 out of 38 candidates for the Territorial Legislature. Free-Staters immediately called foul, naming the new Kansas Territorial Legislature, the "Bogus Legislature." Upon convening in Pawnee and shortly later at the Shawnee Methodist Mission, the Legislature began crafting over a thousand pages of laws aimed at making Kansas a slave state.
The Four Constitutions and the Battle for Legitimacy
In response to the illegitimacy of the Bogus Legislature, Free-Staters convened their own unauthorized shadow legislature and territorial government in Topeka, crafting their own Topeka Constitution in late 1855. While the document was debated and submitted to a vote to the territory, it was never accepted by the federal government as it considered the Free-State body illegitimate and in rebellion. The pro-slavery Legislature's response to the Free-Staters and growing violence was the writing of the Lecompton Constitution in 1857. Due to an electoral boycott by abolitionist groups and the questions regarding the validity of the Legislature itself, it never officially became law.
While the Lecompton Constitution was debated, new elections for the Territorial Legislature in 1857 gave the Free-Staters a majority government, caused in part by a boycott by pro-slavery groups. With this new mandate, the Legislature convened to write the Leavenworth Constitution, a radically progressive document for the Victorian era in its wording of rights for women and African-Americans. The constitution was adopted in 1858, though it too suffered the same fate as previous documents when the U.S. Congress refused to ratify it.
Following the Leavenworth Constitution's defeat, the Legislature again crafted a new document the following year, dubbed the Wyandotte Constitution. A compromise of sorts, it outlawed slavery in the territory, while removing progressive sections on Native Americans, women and blacks. The Legislature successfully passed the document, and submitted it to public referendum. It was passed by the Kansas electorate on October 4, 1859.
Statehood and the American Civil War
Following long debates in both the U.S. House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate, on January 29, 1861, President James Buchanan authorized Kansas to become the 34th state of the United States. It had entered into the Union as a free state. Only six days later, the Confederate States of America formed between seven Southern states that had seceded from the United States in the previous two months.
Partisan balance 1992-2013
Kansas State Senate: Throughout every year from 1992-2013, the Republican Party was the majority in the Kansas State Senate. The Kansas State Senate is one of 13 state senates that was Republican for more than 80 percent of the years between 1992-2013. During the final three years of the study, Kansas was under Republican trifectas.
Across the country, there were 541 Democratic and 517 Republican state senates from 1992 to 2013.
Kansas State House of Representatives: From 1992-2013, the Democratic party was the majority in the Kansas State House of Representatives for the first year while through the last 21 years the Republican Party was the majority. The Kansas State House of Representatives is one of nine state Houses that was Republican for more than 80 percent of the years between 1992-2013. During the final three years of the study, Kansas was under Republican trifectas.
Across the country, there were 577 Democratic and 483 Republican State Houses of Representatives from 1992 to 2013.
Over the course of the 22-year study, state governments became increasingly more partisan. At the outset of the study period (1992), 18 of the 49 states with partisan legislatures had single-party trifectas and 31 states had divided governments. In 2013, only 13 states have divided governments, while single-party trifectas held sway in 36 states, the most in the 22 years studied.
The chart below shows the partisan composition of the Office of the Governor of Kansas, the Kansas State Senate and the Kansas House of Representatives from 1992-2013.
Article 2 of the Kansas Constitution establishes when the Legislature is to be in session. Section 8 of Article 2 states that the Legislature is to convene on the second Monday of January of each year. Section 8 also limits the length of regular sessions in even-numbered years to ninety calendar days, but it allows these sessions to be extended by a two-thirds affirmative vote of both houses. In 2010, this kind of extension occurred, moving the session's adjournment date from March 30th to May 28th.
Bills may be pre-filed between sessions in odd years and sessions in even years for consideration during the following sessions.[1]
- See also: Dates of 2013 state legislative sessions
In 2013, the Legislature will be in session from January 14 through April 29 (estimated).
Major issues
Major issues to be addressed in 2013 include school funding, a settlement between tobacco companies and the state, mental health funding, KanCare, illegal immigration, pension system changes, shifting taxes to the local level, and liquor sales.[2]
- See also: Dates of 2012 state legislative sessions
In 2012, the Legislature was scheduled to be in session from January 9 through May 14. However, due to infighting among Republicans, the session had to be extended through the 20th. Major issues which remained unresolved included education funding, state employee pension reform, redistricting and the budget. Gov. Sam Brownback (R) stated, "I think it's reasonable for people to say they should have gotten things done in 90 days. My hope is that they wrap it up here pretty soon."[3]
Major issues
Alongside the budget, legislators considered reforming the school financing formula and expanding Medicaid's managed care system.[4]
- See also: Dates of 2011 state legislative sessions
In 2011, the Legislature was in session from January 10-June 1, 2011.
Session highlights
Business tax deductions
In the 2011 session, the legislature allowed "expensing," a way for businesses to receive larger tax deductions for start-up costs such as new equipment and software. [5]
School funding
In July, state revenue officials forecast a revenue surplus of at least $175 million for FY 2011 (July 2010-July 2011), a pleasant windfall for policymakers that had cut $800 million out of the FY 2012 budget not six months ago. In response, state education administrators petitioned lawmakers to restore some of the funding for schools that was eliminated as part of Governor Sam Brownback's austerity measures.
Board of Education member Sue Storm was pessimistic about the prospect of reversing the cuts, which saw aid to Kansas public schools drop about $232 per pupil in the 2012 fiscal year. Others argued the board should ask for only a percentage of the funds back as a way to improve relations with austerity-minded legislators. Given the Republican legislative majority had proposed eliminating the state's corporate income tax entirely in the 2011 session, a measure that would cost the states about $200 million annually, House Majority Leader Paul Davis saw little reason to substantial increases in funding. He also noted the funding increases would need to be approved during the 2012 session in the midst of an election campaign, when legislators would continue to advocate for tax cuts.[6]
- See also: Dates of 2010 state legislative sessions
In 2010, the Legislature's regular session was scheduled to last from January 11th to March 30th. However, the session was extended, and it did not adjourn until May 28th.[7]
Elections for the office of Kansas House of Representatives were held in Kansas on November 2, 2010.
Legislature pay cut
Kansas House members voted Feb. 9, 2010, to cut their pay and the salaries of other top elected and appointed officials by 5 percent to help balance the state's fiscal year 2010 budget.[8] State Rep. Melvin Neufeld, R-Ingalls, proposed the cuts in an amendment to legislation ratifying cuts made the previous year by Kansas Gov. Mark Parkinson, a Democrat.
Neufeld estimated the measure to cut the pay of all elected state officials, judges, cabinet secretaries and appointed state officials by 5 percent would save the state $1.5 million by the end of the current fiscal year June 30. Revenue estimates prepared in early February by the Kansas Legislative Research Department showed that declining revenues would likely leave a negative balance of $39 million in the 2010 budget. The pay cut became effective March 11, 2010.
- See also: Redistricting in Kansas
The Kansas Legislature handles redistricting. Both chambers have a Reapportionment Committee that presenst plans to the chamber at large. Gubernatorial veto is not present, but all plans must be reviewed by the Kansas Supreme Court. Kansas uses adjusted census figures to account for non-residents in school or the military.
2010 census
Kansas received its local census data on March 3, 2012. The state grew by 6.1 percent to over 2.58 million, with growth concentrated in the northeast corner of the state and the remainder largely showing slight declines. (The adjusted total was about 14,000 less than the federal figure.) Wichita grew by 11.1 percent, Overland Park grew by 16.3 percent, Kansas City decreased by 0.7 percent, Topeka grew by 4.2 percent, and Olathe grew by 35.4 percent.[9]
The Legislature attempted redistricting in its 2012 session. Against custom, which had the chambers passing their own maps, the Senate passed revisions to a new House map, and the House passed a map for the Senate; neither chamber was amenable to the other's actions. On May 20, the Legislature adjourned amid deadlock, meaning the courts would have to decide the new boundaries.
- See also: Comparison of state legislative salaries
As of 2013, members of the Kansas legislature are paid $88.50/day. Additionally, legislators receive $118/day per diem tied to the federal rate.[10]
As of 2011, when pensions are calculated for Kansas legislators, their normal annual salary is inflated by nearly $78,000. This is composed of $32,982, which comes from multiplying their daily salary by 372 (the number of days they would work if in session every day and if every month had 31 days), $45,756 from adding in their daily per diem (also based on 372 days), and $7,083 from expense payments. According to Sen. Steve Morris, this is intended as compensation because of low legislative salaries which are seen as difficult to raise.[11]
When sworn in
Kansas legislators assume office the second Monday of January after their election.
The Kansas Senate is the upper house of the Kansas Legislature. It is composed of 40 Senators representing an equal amount of districts. Each member represents an average of 71,328 residents, as of the 2010 Census.[12] After the 2000 Census, each member represented 67,210.[13] Members of the Senate are elected to a four year term without term limits.
Like other upper houses of state and territorial legislatures and the federal U.S. Senate, the Senate is reserved with special functions such as confirming or rejecting gubernatorial appointments to executive departments, the state cabinet, commissions and boards.
Leadership of the Senate
The President of the Senate presides over the body, appointing members to all of the Senate's committees and joint committees, and may create other committees and subcommittees if desired. Unlike other states, the Lieutenant Governor of Kansas does not preside over the Senate. Since a 1972 amendment to the Kansas Constitution, the Lieutenant Governor's duties have been severed from the legislative branch, and is active in other areas of the Kansas state government such as commissions on military affairs and health insurance. In the Senate President's absence, the Vice-President presides.

The Kansas House of Representatives is the lower house of the Kansas Legislature. It is composed of 125 Representatives from an equal amount of constituencies. Each member represents an average of 22,825 residents, as of the 2010 Census.[14] After the 2000 Census, each member represented 21,507.[15] Representatives are elected to a two year term. Like the Kansas Senate, the Kansas House of Representatives does not have term limits.
Leadership of the House
The Speaker of the House presides over the House of Representatives. The Speaker is elected by the majority party caucus followed by confirmation of the full House through the passage of a House Resolution. In addition to presiding over the body, the Speaker is also its chief leadership position, and controls the flow of legislation and committee assignments. Other House leaders, such as the majority and minority leaders, are elected by their respective party caucuses relative to their party's strength in the chamber.
