Guide to the Billie Carr political papers, 1956-2003MS 373Biographical NoteBillie McClain Carr (later known as "The Godmother" for her work on behalf of the liberal wing of the Democratic Party) was born in Houston, Texas, June 1, 1928. She grew up near downtown Houston, graduated from Sam Houston High School in 1946, and married three months later; she had three sons, and over the years took courses at South Texas College and the University of Houston. Carr's activities as a political organizer began in 1952, when political issues in Texas stirred her to run for Democratic chairman of her precinct and she unexpectedly won. Soon afterward she became a protégé of Frankie Randolph, a leader and benefactress of liberal causes who helped found the Harris County Democrats (a liberal precinct organization) in 1953. She taught Carr the art of grass roots political organizing, and over time Carr assumed a leadership role in Harris County Democrats and began to establish a statewide reputation as an organizer, convention strategist, and spokesperson for the statewide liberal coalition. In 1954 Carr was elected a member from her precinct to the Harris County Democratic Executive Committee, serving in that capacity until 1972; she was also Harris County's member on the Texas State Democratic Executive Committee from 1964 to 1966. She was a leader in efforts to achieve proportional liberal participation in presidential conventions and became nationally known in the Democratic Party for taking a rump delegation to the 1968 Democratic Convention in Chicago, an action which helped initiate a party-wide set of reforms abolishing the use of the unit rule by which conservative Democrats had been able to minimize the election of liberals as delegates to presidential conventions. As a liberal activist and strategist, Carr also fought for civil rights. She protested the Vietnam War and fought for women's rights in the 1970s, and for gay rights in the 1980s. She helped organize the 1966 campaign leading to the election of Barbara Jordan, the first black woman elected to the Texas Senate, and was later described by U. S. Rep. Mickey Leland as "the grand old lady of liberal politics" for her efforts in helping a number of minority candidates (including himself) win political office. She later established a business, Billie Carr & Associates, specializing in campaign and other political services. In 1972 Carr was elected to serve as a member of the Democratic National Committee (a position she held until 2000); there she was elected "whip" for the progressive-reform caucus and in June 1981 was elected chair of the newly-formed Progressive-Liberal Caucus. At various periods she also served on the Credentials Committee, the Platform Advisory Committee on Older Citizens, and the Executive Committee. Billie Carr died in Houston on September 9, 2002. Return to the Table of Contents Scope and ContentsThe Billie Carr Papers total 12 cubic feet of material, arranged in 22 boxes and dated 1956-2003.

We have had some trouble with the MySQL mailing list since we moved this to a Linux computer a couple of weeks ago; The problem is that after a while the Ethernet card driver will loose the connection to the world. We are not sure where the problem is, but it may be a hardware/driver problem. We will probably move the list to some other hardware during next week. Until this, we have fixed this by adding a simple perl script that will automaticly reboot the computer when it notes that the Ethernet card isn't working anymore... Regards, Monty

"From a strategic planning perspective, this is the wrong site; from the perspective of Government policy which seeks to foster balanced regional development, this is the wrong site; from the perspective of minimising environmental impact, this is the wrong site; and consequently, from the perspective of sustainable development, this is the wrong site"
UK CARBON policy may push investment in fossil fuel-burning capacity to the Republic, the policy director of utility SSE, which this month bought an under-construction gas-fired power station and three sites for plant development in the Republic, has said.
SSE is now Ireland's third biggest energy company after it bought Endesa's Irish assets, including four existing fossil fuel-burning plants.
Keith MacClean believes the UK's decision to implement unilaterally a "carbon price floor" could push investment to jurisdictions connected to the UK grid, such as the Netherlands and Ireland.
Under EU rules, all energy plant operators must pay for their carbon emissions by purchasing carbon allowances.
But from April next year, UK utilities will also have to pay a top-up price for carbon, so that even when EU carbon prices are low, as they are at the moment, the UK government will penalise its energy sector for its emissions.
The UK treasury has set the carbon price floor at £16 (€19.83) per tonne of carbon for next year, rising incrementally to £30 per tonne by 2030.
By contrast, the benchmark EU carbon contract settled at €8.17 per tonne on Friday on the ICE Futures Europe energy exchange.
"If we're having to pay £15 a tonne [of carbon] for burning the same amount of gas, then clearly there's a point at which it becomes more economical to do that in Ireland than in the UK," Mr MacClean said.
The fact that the carbon price floor is a tax which can be "easily changed at every budget" also adds to uncertainty for utilities, making UK investment decisions harder, he added.
The UK carbon price floor will also pose major problems for fossil-fuel generators in the North, analyst Brendan Cronin of consultancy Pöyry said.
Fossil-fuel plants in the North will be far less competitive when selling into the island's single electricity market because they'll have to price in the UK carbon tax.
"It will damage the competitiveness of thermal generators [in the North] when they bid in. It's an interesting moment, because we have a single market on the island but half the market will have a different carbon price to the South," Mr Cronin said.
Earlier this year, a UK parliamentary committee warned that the carbon price floor could lead to "carbon leakage". Carbon leakage occurs when environmental policies in one jurisdiction lead to higher emissions of a greenhouse gas in another jurisdiction.

Registration data from R.L. Polk & Co., a Southfield, Mich.-based auto research firm, shows more Fords than Chevys were registered last year, the Detroit Free Press reported Monday.
As a result of Polk's data, Ford says it plans to investigate the matter.
Meanwhile, GM is standing by its claim that Chevrolet is the favorite car of U.S. residents, and Ford was careful to say it is not accusing its rival of deception.

Witness sought in November stabbing death in Empire
Stanislaus County Sheriff's detectives are looking for a woman they believe is a witness in the November stabbing death of an Empire man.
Investigators want to talk to Lisa Marie Taylor, Sgt. Anthony Bejaran said.
"She's just a witness," Bejaran said. "We know she was at the scene and we need to talk to her."
Manuel Francisco Chavez was stabbed to death inside his South Abbie Street home Nov. 4 after an argument with a man, authorities said at the time. They later identified Sean Michael Bachman, 28, of Manteca as a "person of interest in the case".
Bachman was arrested a few days after the stabbing for a parole violation, but no longer remains in custody, records show.
Taylor, 28, is described as white, 5 feet, 9 inches tall, 180 pounds with blue eyes and blond hair.
Authorities ask anyone with information on her whereabouts to contact CrimeStoppers at at (209) 521-4636. Tipsters can also e-mail tips at www.modestopolice.com/ crimestoppers, or text them to CRIMES (274637) by typing "Tip704" plus the message and be eligible for a cash reward.

These frameworks were created with a balance of design and evolution. Thanks to the C++ compiler and the care taken by all programmers involved in the source tree to date, the end result is far from heavy, but instead a seasoned toolkit with an edge in performance and representational power. With it a source-intensive programmer can create their own custom drawing editors that conform to standards, with no barriers for integration with other systems.
The investment required to be productive with this toolkit is sizeable, but then the investment in the toolkit by others that you get to leverage is sizeable as well. And the non-copylefted free software license of ivtools (and InterViews) protects your investment, leaving you free to engage in any commercial or non-commercial activity with the software, and to join up or go your own way with any community of programmers you can find in the future.
The first layer of C++ classes in ivtools (and InterViews) are fairly straightforward wrappers for the primitive constructs supported by the X protocol: elements of graphic state -- font, color, brush, pattern; and elements of graphical data -- point, line, multi-line, and raster. Originally part of InterViews 2.6, these classes were integrated into the main-line library of InterView 3.1 (the part that did not rely on an InterViews 2.6 backward compatibility mode), and remain largely unmodified in the ivtools source tree. A programmer of raw Xlib clients could reuse these classes without need for the rest of ivtools.
The next layer of C++ classes in ivtools, and chronologically the second layer to probably be developed in InterViews, is a set of classes for wrapping around X windows, the nestable rectangular portions of screen real-estate managed by the X server. The base class is Interactor. These classes are similar in architecture to the widgets of an Xt or Xt-derived toolkit like Motif. There are mechanisms for layout built into derived Interactors, structured-document primitives like boxes, glue, and trays, to allow for dynamic reallocation of screen real estate when windows are resized.
Interactors were the essential class of InterViews 2.6. But due to the inherent overhead in relying on the server to manage a complex pyramid of window ids, in InterViews 3.1 they were augmented by the flyweight glyphs discussed below. To support legacy code, and because they were used for the drawing area of idraw, the Interactors live on thanks to the InterViews 2.6 backward compatibility of InterViews 3.1. Little new development uses the Interactors outside of work done with the Unidraw application framework discussed below. A programmer who otherwise wanted to program in a Xt like way would probably use Motif or lesstif.
Structured graphics seem the first experimentation by the InterViews team in lighter weight objects for screen rendering, and the libgraphic in InterViews 2.6 was absorbed and re-used in InterViews 3.1 Unidraw. InterViews 2.6 programs that relied on libgraphic can be readily upgraded to Unidraw's copy of the classes. This framework has support for all the objects that idraw can render: line, multiline, polygon, ellipse, rectangle, open/closed spline, rasters, bitmaps. And support for groups of graphics (the Composite design pattern).
Unidraw was the thesis work of John Vlissides and lays a
foundation which he showed could be built upon with a schematic
editor, a GUI builder, and idraw. The layer which turned
Unidraw into idraw is another foundation laid on the first,
which was proof by induction of the utility of Unidraw. With
OverlayUnidraw, ComUnidraw,
FrameUnidraw, and GraphUnidraw in ivtools,
MapUnidraw, ProjUnidraw, UtmUnidraw, VpfUnidraw, DlgUnidraw,
and VhclUnidraw in vhclmaps we've continued building
our own repeated layers on the foundation. The idraw of
InterViews 2.6 and the fdraw in Fresco have proven to be similar
foundations where projects like
Target Jr and
IUE have used
similar layering of frameworks.
Glyphs are the more recent
structured document classes of ivtools (and InterViews). They are
structured document objects that can do some structured graphics
as well. The most complex example program for glyphs that came
with InterViews 3.1 is a structured document editor, doc. A
derivative of doc called lexi was the source examined in the
first Design Patterns book.
Programming and debugging with them is quite a different thing
from programming and debugging with libgraphic or Unidraw. The
rendering is procedural and TeX like, and requires a tracing of
the layout process to debug.
Fresco glyphs are
multi-platform glyphs evolved from InterViews glyphs
It can be built and used mostly without InterViews. Only a few
files are duplicated verbatim in the IV-common and
Unidraw-common libraries to facilitate this, the generic base
classes of Resource, Regexp, UList, and Iterator. It is a
fairly lightweight interpreter augmented with server capability by
objects. In addition to the stand-alone demonstrator comterp, this capability has been
integrated into drawing editors evolved from idraw. It makes
for an interactive drawing capability controllable by local or
remote commands, extendable by C or C++ programmers.

Significance and Use
5.1 This test method describes a sensitive method for estimating the intrinsic stability of an oil. The intrinsic stability is expressed as S-value. An oil with a low S-value is likely to undergo flocculation of asphaltenes when stressed (for example, extended heated storage) or blended with a range of other oils. Two oils each with a high S-value are likely to maintain asphaltenes in a peptized state and not lead to asphaltene flocculation when blended together.
5.2 This test method can be used by petroleum refiners to control and optimize the refinery processes and by blenders and marketers to assess the intrinsic stability of blended asphaltene-containing heavy fuel oils.
1. Scope
1.1 This test method covers a procedure for quantifying the intrinsic stability of the asphaltenes in an oil by an automatic instrument using an optical device.
1.2 This test method is applicable to residual products from thermal and hydrocracking processes, to products typical of Specifications D396 Grades No. 5L, 5H, and 6, and D2880 Grades No. 3-GT and 4-GT, and to crude oils, providing these products contain 0.5 mass% or greater concentration of asphaltenes (see Test Method D6560).
1.3 This test method quantifies asphaltene stability in terms of state of peptization of the asphaltenes (S-value), intrinsic stability of the oily medium (So) and the solvency requirements of the peptized asphaltenes (Sa).
2. Referenced Documents (purchase separately) The documents listed below are referenced within the subject standard but are not provided as part of the standard.

Britt Hayes
Britt Hayes is a writer, movie lover, and sensible sweater enthusiast living in Austin, Texas. She watches too much TV and never eats her vegetables. Her mom is worried about her.
It was announced at Comic-Con 2013 that the sequel to 'Man of Steel' will feature a Batman vs. Superman fight in the vein of Frank Miller's graphic novel 'The Dark Knight Returns,' so the big question is, of course, who will play Batman? The script for Zack Snyder's 'Man of Steel 2' is still being written, so it's a bit early for Warner Bros. to start meeting with prospective actors for the role, but sources claim they have a few ideas.
The first trailer for 'Paradise,' the directorial debut from writer Diablo Cody ('Juno,' 'Young Adult'), has landed online just days after the announcement that the film will have its premiere on VOD via DirecTV on August 8. The film stars Julianne Hough as Lamb, a young, conservative Christian woman who is badly scarred in a plane crash, loses her faith, and runs off to Las Vegas with her insurance money to sin a little.
Here's the thing: in the future, the last thing you want to do is agitate Jodie Foster's secretary of defense Delacourt until she's forced to activate Kruger. What's a Kruger? In this new clip from Neill Blomkamp's 'Elysium,' Kruger is a black-ops-style private contractor played by Sharlto Copley, who also starred in Blomkamp's 'District 9,' and he has missiles. And he will use them indiscriminately.
'Revenge of the Nerds' is easily one of the greatest comedies of all time. Released in 1984, the film follows a group of nerdy friends as they navigate the treacherous social waters of college. It's been almost 30 years since this classic film hit theaters, so let's take a look back at the cast of the film and see what they're up to now.
We're just a couple of weeks away from the premiere of the final season of 'Breaking Bad' -- or the final half of it, anyway. The latest teaser for the upcoming premiere goes minimalist, with the camera panning over dusty and familiar landscapes, featuring objects that have become iconic for the series: the RV, Heisenberg's hat, etc.
At today's 'Breaking Bad' panel at Comic-Con 2013, showrunner Vince Gilligan and the cast debuted some footage from the upcoming final season premiere, and while we don't have that to show you, we do have another video they showed at the panel -- a new trailer that takes you through the previous seasons with some of the most memorable moments, all leading up to the season 5 premiere on August 11.
If you weren't able to attend Comic-Con 2013 this weekend (or if you were there and didn't make it to Hall H on Saturday), you can now view the entire Marvel panel online and catch everything you missed, including 'Thor: The Dark World,' 'Captain America: The Winter Soldier,' 'Guardians of the Galaxy,' and the announcement of 'The Avengers: Age of Ultron.'
During yesterday's panel for 'Dawn of the Planet of the Apes' at Comic-Con 2013, we got our very first look at the new Caesar, played by Andy Serkis. Much has changed for Caesar since the first film -- he's now leading his very own army of primates, bent on world domination. And now we can share a new image of Caesar with you.
Hot on the heels of their panel presentations in Hall H today at Comic-Con 2013, Marvel has unveiled new logos and concept art for 'Thor: The Dark World,' 'Captain America: The Winter Soldier,' 'The Avengers: Age of Ultron,' and 'Guardians of the Galaxy.'
Season 6 of 'True Blood' on HBO is in full-swing, and at today's panel at Comic-Con 2013, showrunner Brian Buckner premiered a new teaser trailer for the back-half of the season, promising some heavy drama, heavier action, and plenty of fang-banging, wacky times.

Ministers urged to give boost to Yorkshire's low carbon economy
On March 6, 2012
Julian has encouraged the Government give the green light to Yorkshire becoming world leader in carbon capture and storage technology.
Ministers are set to launch a competition to decide where one billion pounds earmarked for schemes should be spent and the MP is urging them to support Yorkshire and the Humber.
Speaking in a debate in the House of Commons Chamber on Tuesday 6 March, he highlighted how the region was the best placed to deliver on carbon capture and storage given its heavy-industry heritage and proximity to North Sea storage.
It is estimated the go-ahead would bring 55,000 construction jobs to Yorkshire, inward investment opportunities, export opportunities and the development of expertise and technology which would support the region's economy as a whole.
Speaking after the debate, Julian Smith said:
"By focusing on the Yorkshire and the Humber region, Ministers can give the development of carbon capture and storage technology a critical mass that would help the country become a world leader.
"We have the expertise, the skills and the desire to make the projects proposed for this region a success and they would bring huge economic benefits to Yorkshire as a whole and help rebalance the UK's economy.
"I hope that Ministers can encourage Europe to push forward with its side of the financial bargain and accelerate the Government's process to allow carbon capture and storage projects to go-ahead as soon as possible."

Gene Ammons

Died | July 23, 1974 Chicago, Illinois, United States |

Years active | 1943–1974 |
Eugene "Jug" Ammons (April 14, 1925 – July 23, 1974),[1] also known as "The Boss", was an American jazz tenor saxophonist, and the son of boogie-woogie pianist Albert Ammons.[1][2]
Born in Chicago, Illinois, Ammons studied music with instructor Walter Dyett at DuSable High School.[3] Ammons began to gain recognition while still at high school when in 1943, at the age of 18, he went on the road with trumpeter King Kolax's band. In 1944 he joined the band of Billy Eckstine (who bestowed on him the nickname "Jug" when straw hats ordered for the band did not fit), playing alongside Charlie Parker and later Dexter Gordon. Notable performances from this period include "Blowin' the Blues Away," featuring a saxophone duel between Ammons and Gordon. After 1947, when Eckstine became a solo performer, Ammons then led a group, including Miles Davis and Sonny Stitt, that performed at Chicago's Jumptown Club. In 1949 Ammons replaced Stan Getz as a member of Woody Herman's Second Herd,[1] and then in 1950 formed a duet with Sonny Stitt.
The 1950s were a prolific period for Ammons and produced some acclaimed recordings such as "The Happy Blues" (1955), featuring Freddie Redd and Lou Donaldson. Musicians who played in his groups, apart from Stitt, included Donald Byrd, Jackie McLean, John Coltrane, Kenny Burrell, Mal Waldron, Art Farmer, and Duke Jordan.
His later career was interrupted by two prison sentences for narcotics possession, the first from 1958 to 1960, the second from 1962 to 1969. He recorded as a leader for Mercury (1947–1949), Aristocrat (1948–1950), Chess (1950–1951), Prestige (1950–1952), Decca (1952), and United (1952–1953). For the rest of his career, he was affiliated with Prestige. After his release from prison in 1969, having served a seven-year sentence at Joliet penitentiary, he signed the largest contract ever offered at that time by Prestige's Bob Weinstock.[3]
Ammons died in Chicago in 1974, at the age of 49, from cancer.[4]
Playing style[edit]
Ammons and Von Freeman were the founders of the Chicago school of tenor saxophone. Ammons's style of playing showed influences from Lester Young as well as Ben Webster. These artists had helped develop the sound of the tenor saxophone to higher levels of expressiveness. Ammons, together with Dexter Gordon and Sonny Stitt, helped integrate their developments with the emerging "vernacular" of the bebop movement, and the chromaticism and rhythmic variety of Charlie Parker is evident in his playing.
While adept at the technical aspects of bebop, in particular its love of harmonic substitutions, Ammons more than Young, Webster or Parker, stayed in touch with the commercial blues and R&B of his day. For example, in 1950 the saxophonist's recording of "My Foolish Heart" made Billboard Magazine's black pop charts.[2] The soul jazz movement of the mid-1960s, often using the combination of tenor saxophone and Hammond B3 electric organ, counts him as a founder. With a thicker, warmer tone than Stitt or Gordon, Ammons could at will exploit a vast range of textures on the instrument, vocalizing it in ways that look forward to later artists like Stanley Turrentine, Houston Person, and even Archie Shepp. Ammons showed little interest, however, in the modal jazz of John Coltrane, Joe Henderson or Wayne Shorter that was emerging at the same time.
Some ballad performances in his oeuvre are testament to an exceptional sense of intonation and melodic symmetry, powerful lyrical expressiveness, and mastery both of the blues and the bebop vernacular that can now be described as, in its own way, "classical".[citation needed]
Early in his career Ammons played a Conn model 10M Bb tenor saxophone eventually switching to a Selmer Mark VI. He is often pictured playing a Brilhart Ebolin mouthpiece.[citation needed]
King Pleasure recorded his vocalese take on Ammons' composition "Hittin' the Jug" under the title "Swan Blues".
Ammons is considered a major influence on the style of popular jazz tenor saxophonist Joshua Redman.[4]

Are we teaching our children what really matters?
9 comments:
Great post, Jo. We need to teach, and lead by example, for our children. I love the part in the quote that says we also need to teach out children how to fail, that we fail and that God is the only one that is perfect. So true, this is how we teach our children about God's grace. Beautiful. If they can understand the grace of God as a child it will stand them in good stead for the rest of their lives.
ReplyDeleteLove your photos. Your boys are so handsome...
Love your thoughts.. and seeing how your day was.. That's the whole thing. Home school is not about academics. It's about preparing the child for the day when they will step out to be who they were made to be. I've been through 2 leaving and the 3rd will graduate this spring.
Though in the world's eyes some of our home school days don't look too successful, what God sees is what really matters. To see what was done in your boy's hearts is a profound day of learning in my opinion.... about what really matters.
Loved this Jo~

Tomorrow marks the 3 year anniversary of, Who Are You Now? Also tomorrow, we'll pile back into our big red van and head east on our first USA tour since the "'Bout Damn Time Tour" almost 2 years ago. That was our first headlining tour. Ever. It took us 2 record deals, 3 albums and 5 years of steady touring just to get to that point. Hence the name of the tour.
I imagine you might be asking yourselves why everything takes so damn long when it comes to This Providence. Well I'll be honest, I don't have a good answer for that. I suppose I could have a cry and go on whining about how the last 9 years have been an uphill battle, but I'm over that sort of nonsense. Perhaps that's the very attitude that has held us back from fully realizing our dreams.

So i was playing against a guy with the name azz_kikkr. After he made a stupid move I typed "azz kikkr, really?" Promptly got kicked.Nice moderating chess.com
The auto swear filter kicks if you type a swear word more than once in the same sentence or you've been auto warned/auto muted already once in the previous 24 hours by the server. Its auto modded (not a person).
That's pretty funny
Love it, censor the comments but not names.STUPID.
Heh, once this happened to me on another site. I typed so fast I didn't have time to read/notice the auto warning before hitting enter again and was banned for 24 hours.
Was telling Dave Chappelle joke (not very clean).
The username was censored to prevent this happening again.
So a player gets kicked for 24hours if he or she curses?
No, its 30 minutes
I said "n1" to my opponent, and he say "nt???" imposing that I was saying "nice try", and I said "don't worry, I'm not an a55/poor sportsman", and BAM! Kicked. Really? REALLY?
Let me fill you higher-ups in on a little something. As a business, which you are, you are supposed to keep the customers happy, which I am. I completely understand if it's being run by a bunch of Mormons and you want to keep profranity off of this site, I do. I personally would never use it to insult anyone, but let's be realistic here - we all write emails, chat online, blog, etc. on sites that aren't monitored, and when we come here, it's kind of hard to just drop on a dime. I'm saying this like this happens all the time, but, that is what really upsets me... I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW. You kick for someone for first offense without knowledge of the rules? Wow.
What really drives me crazy, is that the text doesn't even have to be passed through the server from one client to the next. preg_replace would do the trick. Replace profranity with (#)$*@()#$*@()#$ RATHER THAN KICKING PAYING MEMBERS. This is ABSURD.
Yeah, I'm done with this site.
Ratings are screwed up and too easy to game, and too many of my games have flaws.
This last match I lost on time because the computer wouldn't let me move to D2.
Did you not read my first comment, I wasn't swearing at all.
alekhine: During the process of signing up, opening live chess, and challenging another player, where does it say no profane language? When you start a game, you should be warned. The fact that I wasn't aware of the rule before I did it is what makes me angry. Off subject, no slang? Every member should use perfect gramar/english? Heh, shh.
Honestly, the whole kicking/banning thing is just ridiculous. It is extremely easy to write a couple lines of code to replace profane language with symbols i.e. #$(*%#()$, or just have the text echod to client saying "Text not sent: no bad language". Paying members like myself are the reason this site is in operation, and they should never run into issues like this. Think of it from a business stand point - does a business ever want to lose money? No.
someone wrote in Subrian F@$K you .. and said thinks about me that I was something to do with a monkey?!?! (google translator) .. I wrote back and said NO.. F%#K you! And I was kicked!!! there is a bias for the English language only?! This is ridiculous I am the victim.
I do not swear even by typing it in the cheating way with %#@$ but i agree being kicked with out warning makes the person who is booted the victim of a society where we feel the need so strongly to be politically correct that we can not accept someone when they get upset. What human emotion will be regulated next?
I was a diamond member till 15 minutes ago when i got kicked for typing bad words in a input box on a web page. I know that the words wouldn't be sent to the other player SO WHY DEGRADE MY PAID EXPERIENCE? For the 30 minutes kicked the site will be at least 30 days without my money. So next time just block the words and let it go.
Agreed. Just got kicked for spur of the moment saying f@#$ mouse slip lucky bas@#$d. I slipped and lost my queen in even position. I was mad. Sorry Im too emotional

Michelle Nunn on Government Reform | |
Nunn's campaign fired back. "These ads are exactly the type of dishonest attacks Georgians have come to expect from our broken political system," said a Nunn spokesman. "There's no better contrast to these attacks from deep-pocketed special interests than Michelle's own story of working with businesses, charities and religious organizations to make change."
The ad has a small $150,000 buy behind it, according to a source tracking the buy.
A: There's blame on both asides of the equation for the failure of getting things done in Washington.
Q. So are you equally happy to run against Democratic dysfunction as you are Republican dysfunction?
A: I'm running against dysfunction in Washington and I'm running against the polarization and I'm running for a spirit of focus on common ground and problem solving, which I think would be helped by sending more people to Washington with those commitments also with a lens that's outside of Washington and brings a new perspective.
A: I'm not saying that I don't want people in Congress to not continue to influence things for the public good. I think what I'm pointing out is that we should not have congressmen and women use the privilege that they have through their service and apply it parochial or special interests.
We need to participate--within our communities and in our democracy. Individual acts of daring and creativity will ultimately determine the fate of nations and our increasingly global society. And those acts will change us in return.
How do we enlist others in our efforts to make a change? The most fundamental and important step is to ask. We know from our stories, and we know from research, that the most common reason people choose to help is simply that they were asked.
We sometimes lose sight of the radical proposition of democracy; that each of us has inalienable rights and responsibilities. The idea of our American democracy was envisioned as a "City on a Hill," but it has taken enormous personal sacrifice and leadership to establish such ideals as a woman's right to vote, or of all people to be free and full citizens under the law.
Ultimately, our leaders will, largely, follow their constituencies. That gives each of us an enormous power.

Therapy for 2e2 survivors: Online confab on 12 April at 2pm BST
Relive the pain and learn with The Channel ed Paul Kunert
Live Chat IT contractor 2e2 collapsed under the weight of more than £270m in debt in January.
Creditors had grown tired of backing an ambitious 10-year acquisition spree that saw 2e2 pay top dollar and left its management saddled with a debt they couldn't pay.

One of the country's top 10 services suppliers, in the same league as juggernauts like Computacenter, 2e2 was no cowboy operation - it was a trusted partner to an impressive list of blue chips.
But overnight, IT support desks for RBS, the Bank of England, Kellogg's, Tesco and many NHS trusts - all 2e2 customers - vanished as hundreds of 2e2 staff were axed or unpaid contractors refused to show up for work while everybody tried to figure out what was next.
2e2's pencil-pushing administrators knew what was next: they told the bigger data centre customers that they had to cough up to £40,000 just to keep the centres running - and thereby retain access to their biz data.
Join Paul Kunert, the editor of El Reg's The Channel, and fellow Reg readers for a special Live Chat this Friday on what went wrong and what's next for customers still left in limbo.
We'll also find out what other outsourcers are showing worrying symptoms, the signs you should look for and steps you can take to avoid a 2e2-ing.
Bring your questions, warm up your fingers and prep for the inside story with Paul on 12 April at 14.00 BST UK (13.00 GMT), 9.00 Eastern, 6.00 Pacific. You can pre-register in the window below.

- 3 Nested square wood trays: 14", 10", 8"
- Wood blocks:
- one 4"
- two 3"
- two 2 1/2"
- two 2"
- one 1 3/4"
- Acrylic paint
- Apple Green
- Light Foliage Green
- Opaque Red
- Mendocino Red
- Exterior/interior satin varnish
- Swirl stencils
- Four 3/8" stencil brushes
- Thick white craft glue
- Paintbrushes
- 1" glaze/wash
- #12 flat/shader Cotton swabs
- Low-tack tape
- Palette paper
- Paper towels
- Plastic sandwich bag
- Sandpaper
- Scissors
- Water basin
- Use one brush for each paint color.
- To keep paint from drying on bristles, place stencil brushes in plastic sandwich bag when not in use.
- Paint should be dry or almost dry by the time stencil is lifted.
- Stenciling is a dry brush technique requiring very little paint. Too much paint results in seepage or a raised edge around design; two light coats of paint are always better than one heavy coat.
- Allow paint to dry between coats.
- Preparation. Sand trays to smooth any rough areas or edges. Wipe with a damp paper towel to remove dust. Use the 1" brush to apply two smooth even coats as follows: large tray - Opaque Red; medium tray - Light Foliage Green; small tray - Apple Green (Photo A).
- Stencil red tray and blocks. For best results, cut swirl designs from rest of stencil. Position stencil in bottom of red tray and secure in place with low-tack tape. Pour a quarter-sized puddle of Mendocino Red on palette. Dip stencil brush into paint, tapping excess on palette until only a hint of color remains on brush. Use a pouncing motion color in the largest swirl on the stencil (Photo B). Carefully lift one corner of stencil and check color and coverage. If more paint is needed, reapply and recheck color and coverage.
- Continue working in this manner until you have 5 large and 7 small swirls on the inside of the tray. Turn tray over and add more swirls to outside of tray in same way. Add swirls to red blocks in same way.
- When changing paint colors, wash off stencil with a damp paper towel and dry thoroughly. Continue in same way as above, adding more swirls in Light Foliage Green and Apple Green.
- Stencil Light Foliage Green tray and blocks. Continue working in same way as Step 2, using dotted swirl from stencil and Mendocino Red, Opaque Red and Apple Green paint.
- Stencil Apple Green tray and blocks. Continue in same way as Step 2, stenciling large and small swirls with Mendocino Red, Opaque Red and Light Foliage Green paint.
- Edge trays. Use #12 paintbrush to paint tray edges as follows: large tray - Light Foliage Green; medium tray - Apple Green; small tray - Opaque Red (Photo C).
- Finish. Use 1" paintbrush to apply 2 to 3 smooth even coats of varnish to all surfaces. Use a doily or napkin when using trays. Do not place food directly on surfaces.

I made these for myself and my children a few years ago. I am a life member of Creative Homearts. At that time I researched all over including the person who gave the Club this project. Instead I used 3 of the sizes called for with trays, but it was hard to reach and get the cookies out. Also, the trays would fall if you weren't careful. Maybe I wasn't too bright buying trays that didn't work, but I'll suggest to you if you do make this set, it would be a good idea to glue the wood blocks to the trays so they don't fall.

Excellent idea from Berta48. I wouldn't even do the bottom blocks so it will just sit on a table and no wobbling either. With her idea you don't need to use doilies, unless you really want to. I've wanted something like this for years.

Crysis 3 Multiplayer Beta Downloaded 3 Million Times
Jason "Gerberman" Dunning
06:07 pm EDT @ February 15th, 2013
The February 19th launch for Crysis 3 is just around the corner and EA has given out some pieces of information about the shooter, including the fact that pre-orders are 35% above those seen for Crysis 2 in 2011. As for the recent multiplayer beta, it was downloaded over three million times worldwide across all systems, with the Crysis YouTube channel garnering over 16 million views.
Pre-orders are still ongoing for Crysis 3, with the PC Digital Deluxe Edition on Origin coming with Crysis 1, Crysis 2: Maximum Edition, a franchise soundtrack, early unlocks, and more. Xbox 360, PS3, and PC pre-orders of the Crysis 3: Hunter Edition from Amazon.com or Wal-Mart will come with a digital copy of Crysis 1 and $20 credit.

I get the feeling that the next Crysis will only have a short single-player(like 5 missions). 'Cause the game will focus on multiplayer. |
Vader | [STAFF] Feb 16 2013, 07:18 am EST | |
Regarding a new Crysis game (if we're talking about a potential game after Crysis 3), I have absolutely no feeling whatsoever. |
RenegadeCZ | Feb 16 2013, 07:24 am EST | |
I don't see what's the problem with Crysis 2 and 3. C2 was one of the best FPS ever. I don't miss the open environment at all. To be honest, I have a thing for destroyed cities. |
TrevorOreius | Feb 16 2013, 09:23 am EST | |
Crysis 2 was good for me too. But, seeing as how the story shifted on trailers on Crysis 3. Bringing Prophet back? That's a dick move right there, and Nomad getting killed off-cam, that sucks big time. I think Crysis died with Crysis 2. | ||

@RenegadeCZ: it's not that Crysis 2 (and, assumedly, Crysis 3) are *bad* games, per se, it's that they have NOTHING to do with the aesthetic and gameplay that made Crysis 1 the well-received game it is. (Which, for the record, is my problem with Dragon Age 2, Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion, and any Ghost Recon-named game that came out after the original 1999 game) Crysis 2 is a great on-rails shooter in a nano-suit. (Although with way too many quicktime-event cut-scenes, imho) Call of Duty in a Nano-Suit, if you will. What it is NOT is: a slow, thoughtful, tactical shooter in a more-or-less open (and open-ended) environment...which is why I think they should have named it something other than "Crysis2", because grognards like me were expecting, you know, moar Crysis 1! Eh. I'm non-plussed after pre-purchasing Crysis 2 and not getting what I expected, so, as far as Crysis 3...I'll pirate it and see what happens. P.S. I know I'll DEFINITELY be replaying this: http://www.gog.com/gamecard/system_shock_2 |

So... you guys are okay with forever respawning enemies and little to no physics destruction and hovering bulletholes and the fucking annoying suit talking to you all the time, holding your hands and telling you how to play the game...? Okay cool... |

I honestly don't know how the show would read to a new viewer without the fandom to buoy it up. I actually haven't watched the show in a long time - I think I overdosed a little bit.

Re: Anyone here a fan of Firefly?
I meant American stuff chiefly. The 'space western' is as old as the 1930s, at least, with its origins in the pulpy paperback of the day - and more pertinently, there's the Western elements incorporated prominently into successful space operas like Star Trek and Star Wars. Whedon just shears the same idea of the thin veneer of sci-fi spectacle that was usually overlaid onto the western concept. And of course there's the influence of actual Westerns to consider. Whedon has conceded his own fondness of western TV growing up as a major influence on how Firefly was shaped.

Re: Anyone here a fan of Firefly?
Really, one way of looking at Firefly is like a right-wing civil war: don't-tread-on-me libertarians versus interventionist, authoritarian neocons. And although the show's nominal hero clearly belongs to one camp, just as it wasn't shy about the excesses of government, nor was the show shy about illustrating the brutality of life without government. If there's no body politic to make the rules, then the guy without the most money or the biggest gun makes the rules. Fictitiously yours, Trent Roman

If you need further proof that the Alliance, although antagonistic and misguided, was not an inherently evil organization, compare it to Wolfram and Hart, and I guarantee that you'll see the difference between truly evil actions (those of W&H) and the actions of the Alliance.
