The works of García Lorca, internationally recognized as Spain's most prominent lyric poet and dramatist of the twentieth century, are filled with thinly veiled homosexual motifs and themes.
There has always been homosexual involvement in American musical theatre and a homosexual sensibility even in straight musicals, and recently the Broadway musical has welcomed openly homosexual themes and situations.
Best known for his genius in art and architecture, Michelangelo was also an accomplished author of homoerotic poetry.
The African-American gay male literary tradition consists of a substantial body of texts and includes some of the most gifted writers of the twentieth century.
Combining elements of incongruity, theatricality, and exaggeration, camp is a form of humor that helps homosexuals cope with a hostile environment.
Langston Hughes, whose literary legacy is enormous and varied, was closeted, but homosexuality was an important influence on his literary imagination, and many of his poems may be read as gay texts.
James Baldwin, a pioneering figure in twentieth-century literature, wrote sustained and articulate challenges to American racism and mandatory heterosexuality.
Oscar Wilde is important both as an accomplished writer and as a symbolic figure who exemplified a way of being homosexual at a pivotal moment in the emergence of gay consciousness.
In an open letter posted on his blog on February 22, 2014, actor and activist George Takei called for a boycott of Arizona should Governor Jan Brewer sign into law its anti-gay "religious liberty" bill. Takei and his husband Brad Altman have deep ties to the state, where they own a vacation home. Citing the economic repercussions that followed the state's vote against the Martin Luther King, Jr. Holiday in 1989, Takei tells the legislators, "if our appeals to equality, fairness, and our basic right to live in a civil society without doors being slammed in our face for being who we are don't move you, I'll bet a big hit to your pocketbook and state coffers will."
Takei has issued the call for a boycott in response to the draconian and clearly unconstitutional law recently passed by the Arizona legislature. The law extends to individuals, businesses, and tax-exempt charities the right to disobey any "any law, including state law, ordinances, rules, regulations and policies" if it offends "sincerely held religious belief."
The law, which is clearly motivated by animus toward gay people, is so broadly written that it in effect imposes Sharia law on Arizona. As Jim Burroway at BoxTurtleBulletin observes, "It exempts anyone from having to follow a whole host of state laws, ordinances and regulations if they conflict with an individual's religious belief. This would mean that a Muslim landlord could forcibly evict single women or a convert to Christianity, since either action would be covered by Sharia law. It would also allow a Muslim employer to treat his non-Muslim employees with the same rules as his Muslim employees. He could compel non-Muslims to work longer hours at lesser pay and reduced rank."
In addition, as Burroway notes, the law is so broadly written that under it "a self-proclaimed Muslim could refuse to pay interest to his mortgage company, which goes against his sincerely held beliefs. A divorced Muslim could refuse to pay his alimony obligations. Or, conversely, he could prevent an ex-wife from seeing their children."
The irony, of course, is that the very right-wingers who frequently express paranoia about some plot to "elevate Sharia into a state-valued place in our civil codes" have, through the Republican-controlled Arizona Legislature, done precisely that.
Takei's open letter, which may be found here, begins by congratulating the state: "You are now the first state actually to pass a bill permitting businesses--even those open to the public--to refuse to provide service to LGBT people based on an individual's 'sincerely held religious belief.' This 'turn away the gay' bill enshrines discrimination into the law. Your taxi drivers can refuse to carry us. Your hotels can refuse to house us. And your restaurants can refuse to serve us."
He tells the legislators, "You're willing to ostracize and marginalize LGBT people to score political points with the extreme right of the Republican Party. You say this bill protects 'religious freedom,' but no one is fooled. When I was younger, people used 'God's Will' as a reason to keep the races separate, too. Make no mistake, this is the new segregation, yours is a Jim Crow law, and you are about to make yourself ground zero."
After rehearsing his and his husband's close ties to Arizona, Takei observes that the real purpose of the bill is to ostracize gay people. He says that "your mean-spirited representatives and senators" know that the law is going to be struck down by the courts, "But they passed it anyway, just to make their hateful opinion of us crystal clear."
He concludes by saying, "let me make mine just as clear. If your Governor Jan Brewer signs this repugnant bill into law, make no mistake. We will not come. We will not spend. And we will urge everyone we know--from large corporations to small families on vacation--to boycott. Because you don't deserve our dollars. Not one red cent."
Best known for his role as Mr. Sulu on the cult-classic television series Star Trek and subsequent films, George Takei has become an articulate advocate for glbtq rights.
Some of Takei's earliest memories are of the internment camps where he and his parents were sent after the outbreak of World War II. His current project is a musical, Allegiance, by composer-lyricist Jay Kuo, about the internment of Japanese Americans. The musical debuted in 2012 at San Diego's Old Globe theater, with Takei and Lea Salonga in leading roles. Takei hopes that it will be produced on Broadway soon.
Takei describes the musical as about "a little known part of U.S. history and even less understood. It's a dark and shameful chapter. Yet, it is also a powerful and dramatic subject that could grab an audience's hearts and minds." More about Allegiance may be found here.
Takei talks about the project in his TedxBroadway Talk below.

October 8, 2011. July report by U of Texas faculty levels stern critique of Governor's attempted higher ed "reforms"
Many UFF-FAU members are aware that Florida governor Rick Scott is proffering a plan modeled on one proposed by Texas governor Rick Perry to "reform" higher education statewide . A detailed report, Maintaining Excellence-and-Efficiency at The University of Texas at Austim, published in July by UT faculty critically assesses and condemns Perry's varied and ill-informed "one size fits all" approaches.
Support Emerges For Higher Education OverhaulFiled under: Home; Tagged as: Florida, Frank Brogan, higher education, Rick Perry, Rick Scott
August 26, 2011. Frank Brogan embraces Bush/Scott reform agenda
By LILLY ROCKWELL
THE CAPITAL, TALLAHASSEE, August 25, 2011…….Gov. Rick Scott may have one crucial ally in his nascent effort to overhaul higher education in Florida: State University System Chancellor Frank Brogan.
Brogan met with Scott earlier this year to discuss the controversial changes to higher education, which were first championed by Texas Governor and Republican presidential candidate Rick Perry. The idea is to treat universities and colleges more like private businesses, with more scrutiny over professor and university performance.
"We had a great conversation," Brogan said in an interview with the News Service of Florida. "He'd be the first to tell you he's not wed to the Texas plan. What he is wed to is the notion that we need to look at those and other possibilities that might create a better system of higher education in the state of Florida."
The Texas proposal supports the concept of tying state funding to performance, financially rewarding professors based on effectiveness, and using higher education tuition vouchers that can be used toward private schools. It takes many of the concepts being used in K-12 education policy, such as merit pay, and applies them to universities.
Increasingly, some Republican lawmakers and governors are seeing higher education as a system in need of reform, with escalating tuition and costs, much like health care. In Ohio, the Republican governor also pushed for tying state funding to degree production and the number of classes professors teach.
Brogan said he supports "accountability-based funding" for Florida's state universities. "A greater emphasis on outcomes and incentives to those outcomes is important," he said. "We should be looking at quality of programs."

American Capital Agency: Time To Give Up? [View article]
Investor should sell AGNC right after the Fed Chairman announced his intention to slow down or may stop buying bonds in his QE mission for the stimulation of the economy. The action hints that the interest rate will probably go up.
However, if the investors still hold the shares, don't commit any more money on AGNC. Things are changing now, and do not let the emotion control your investment decision.
I owned AGNC shares before but I unloaded all my positions right after the company announced its first quarter lost this year for a small capital lost. I was not regret my decision even known with the current share price, AGNC pays at least 20% dividend. This stock is a good investment in a low interest rate environment but NOT at the present time.Jul 14, 2013. 07:11 PM | 0 Likes |Link to Comment
American Capital Agency (AGNC -0.2%) estimates a similar decline in book value through June 7 as that experienced in Q1 (8.6%), putting June 7 book value at $26.44. At the current price, the stock is trading at about a 7% discount to book. The numbers were disclosed in slides prepared for the company's presentation at the Morgan Stanley conference at 3:35 ET this afternoon.

Other tumblers: Armour (ARR -6.4%), New York Mortgage (NYMT -6.5%), Javelin (JMI -6.1%), MFA Financial (MFA -3.4%). There's little bid for American Capital - (AGNC -4.1%), (MTGE -3.3%) - with one trader noting Gary Kain's focus on owning pre-pay protected paper is another bet not paying off as rates rise. [View news story]
The interest rate will rise, the company incurred a lost in the recent quarter. I am not sure that they (AGNC) will keep a dividend of $1.25 for shareholders in the upcoming quater.
It may be hard to sell the shares now for some investors if they are underwater, but sometime they need to learn to cut the lost to preserve their capital since the "game" will continue...and there is unfortunately no mercy at the down time.May 29, 2013. 05:10 PM | 0 Likes |Link to Comment

I am sure someone will beat me to it but I can post a pic tomorrow. Its easy.
Hey guys does anyone have any idea how i can strap my bk14 sheath to my belt with only paracord? nothing wimpy because it will be my new EDC.. sorry if i posted this in the wrong place.. im new to bladeforums... thanks
I am sure someone will beat me to it but I can post a pic tomorrow. Its easy.
thanks man, iv always been para-cord-dumb.. iv tried wrapping knives before that weren't mine and it never worked well, therefore i decided to get a badass bk14 and force myself to play with it a little .
Just run the cord through the rivet holes in a X configuration, then tie a couple knots burn the ends and your good to go. Slide your belt between the sheath and the para cord. Real easy stuff!
Oh and it will not be wimpy, 550 pounds is plenty strong enough... Your belt will break before that para cord will.
It has always been pretty tight when I did it. I'm sure another Beckerhead will be along to show you pics. How do you like the knife so far though? Pretty badass huh?
im new to becker knives. and im telling you, im never buying any other knife thats not a becker. this one blade. has gotten me completely hooked. it feels so nice, it stays sharp, i love the coating... no complaints.
You will be a BeckerHead before you know it! Sounds like you already are one at hart
There are a few ways. You can run it through top to bottom on both sides and then braid it, that's how I have my 14. You can do the X configuration which I think it was Bladite that has the coolest one, if I remember right.

Hold on, Moose posted up the answer to this some time back. Lemme find the answer.
"Go Forth & Propagate you ignorant git. " - Phil Gibbs
Alright, here we go:
Moose carried his 14 inside the waistband, with the little paracord loops on the outside to use on his belt.
"Go Forth & Propagate you ignorant git. " - Phil Gibbs
It would work for the inside of your belt as well, but for the outside, I would go with Bladite's paracord X. Lemme find a pic. GImme a sec.
"Go Forth & Propagate you ignorant git. " - Phil Gibbs
Found em.
Good for vertical or horizontal carry, or if you didn't weave the cross pieces you could carry it at an angle.

The original scripting extension.
This script scans .xcf files and extracts the contents of the text layers into a user specified text file
1) Creates a border using the current layer.
2) Positions and cascades a layer relative to the image.
(i.e. Top Left to Bottom Right, Left to Right, etc.)
You can specify how many times to cascade the layer, with the default being 0, which
means fill the image in the specified direction. If you use 1, it will position the
layer to the selected starting position. You can also specify the x and y spacing for
cascading, and the initial x and y position.
3) Create a checkerboard pattern from the layer.
4) Create a tessellation pattern from the layer.
5) Fill with the layer.
This script-fu (created mainly from the script "add-bevel.scm" which is installed by default) adds to an existing layer, a layer composed of squares or rectangles (size of your choice) in shades of gray but with bevels. The goal is to facilitate the creation of pavements with a little "volume". arfff. Difficult to explain -_-'
You can find "00 - Volume Express..for simple tiles" in Filters>2D Isometric-Fu>
A picture is better than a thousand explanations:
This script-fu rotates an image -/+ 26.57 degrees to help to make an isometric roof. There are some little options to resize, to cut the semi-transparent pixels, to merge down.
I don't know if this script will be very useful. It is for me, so I am sharing.
You can find "03 - Isometric Roof (26.57 degrees)" in Filters>2D Isometric-Fu>
This is a very simple script for method of image processing othen used by myself - splitting picture into a two assembled layers: colors and grain. This gives us a very lot of capabilities of changing picture without making a hard artefacts inside it.
You can read more about the script, with a sample of use here:
p.s. i'm also add a second version - for a slow machines; it do same thing, but by the little diffrent way.
This script will join together all the layers of an image into a new image.
Useful for creating sprite sheets.
It will appear under Filters -> Combine -> Fuse layers.
This script will rotate an existing image about the X, Y and Z axes. It will also include a magnification factor so you can scale your image while rotating.
The inputs are the angles to rotate the image around the X, Y, and Z axes. Some values (usually high X and Y values) will result in a very distorted picture, regardless of what other inputs you have. If you get one of those, just undo and try again. That's just the way math works, folks!
Script-Fu Charcoal-Layer-FX v1.0 by Micomicon March 2011
A Gimp script which takes the effect from my Charcoal script and adds it as a layer or layers. NB. Does not require charcoal.scm to be installed.
Opening the Layers Dialog and scrolling through the layer modes afterwards can produce some interesting results akin to adding a watercolour wash, the strength of which can be varied by adjusting the opacity slider.
Thanks to mahvin for this change of direction.
To install (Linux):
Download and move the script file charcoal-layer-FX.scm to /yourhome/.gimp-2.x/scripts.
This script-fu allows to shift tiles/bricks/blocks one row or column out of two. It will help to draw brick walls, etc...
You can find "00 - Offset by froGgy" in Filters>2D Isometric-Fu>
I know this is not isometry, but I want to gather together in the same directory all the little script-fu that can help draw walls, floors, roofs etc...before their transformation into isometry.
This is a script for The GIMP, a image manipulation program. Basically it consists in drawing circles with sequencial numbers inside, so some can "label" parts of a image to reference in another document.
To install it, just move the script to your local scripts directory, in Unix systems it is located at ~/.gimp-2.x/scripts. I don't know about Windows.

Khusro Khan
|This article needs additional citations for verification. (April 2015)
|Khusro Khan
|Sultan of Delhi
|Qutb ud din Mubarak Shah
|Delhi Sultanate
Khusro Khan (also spelled Khusrau Khan or Khusru or Khusraw Khan) was a medieval Indian military leader, and ruler of Delhi as Sultan Nasiruddin Khusrau Shah for a short period of time.
Early career[edit]
The conquest of the Deccan by the Delhi Sultanate began in 1296 when Alauddin Khilji raided and plundered Devagiri.[1] Later in that year, Alauddin subsequently murdered his uncle, the reigning sultan, Jalaluddin, and took his place as head of the sultanate.[2] Among Alauddin's subsequent actions, in 1309 he forced the Kakatiya dynasty of Telangana and Coastal Andhra to become subordinate to him.[3]
In 1318, Prataparudra II, the Kakatiya ruler, defied his masters in Delhi by refusing to send the annual tribute expected of him. Alauddin responded by sending Khusrau Khan, one of his generals, to the Kakatiya capital at what is now Warangal. Khan's force bristled with technology previously unknown in the area, including trebuchet-like machines, and Prataparudra had to submit once more to the sultanate. The amount of his annual tribute was changed, becoming 100 elephants and 12,000 horses.[4]
Brief rule[edit]
Khusrau Khan later arranged for Alauddin to be killed by his friend Jahiriya. In 1320 Khusrau Khan managed to kill Alauddin's son and successor as sultan, Qutb ud din Mubarak Shah, ending the Khilji dynasty. He captured the throne of Delhi and held it for four months.

When you walk into a darkened room, your first instinct is to feel around for a light switch. You slide your hand along the wall, feeling the transition from the doorframe to the painted drywall, and then up and down until you find the metal or plastic plate of the switch. During the process you use your sense of touch to develop an image in your mind of the wall's surface and make a better guess for where the switch is.
Sliman Bensmaia, PhD, assistant professor of organismal biology and anatomy at the University of Chicago, studies the neural basis of tactile perception, or how our hands convey this information to the brain. In a new study published in the Journal of Neuroscience, he and his colleagues found that the timing and frequency of vibrations produced in the skin when you run your hands along a surface, like searching a wall for a light switch, plays an important role in how we use our sense of touch to gather information about the objects and surfaces around us.
The sense of touch has traditionally been thought of in spatial terms, i.e. receptors in the skin are spread out across a grid of sorts, and when you touch something this grid of receptors transmits information about the surface to your brain. In their new study, Bensmaia, two former undergraduates, and a postdoctoral scholar in his lab—Matthew Best, Emily Mackevicius and Hannes Saal—found that the skin is also highly sensitive to vibrations, and that these vibrations produce corresponding oscillations in the afferents, or nerves, that carry information from the receptors to the brain. The precise timing and frequency of these neural responses convey specific messages about texture to the brain, much like the frequency of vibrations on the eardrum conveys information about sound.
Neurons communicate through electrical bits, similar to the digital ones and zeros used by computers. But, Bensmaia said, "One of the big questions in neuroscience is whether it's just the number of bits that matters, or if the specific sequence of bits in time also plays a role. What we show in this paper is that the sequence of bits in time does matter, and in fact for some of the skin receptors, the timing matters with millisecond precision."
Researchers have known for years that these afferents respond to skin vibrations, but they studied their responses using so-called sinusoidal waves, which are smooth, repetitive patterns. These perfectly uniform vibrations can be produced in a lab, but the kinds of vibrations produced in the skin by touching surfaces in the real world are messy and erratic.
For this study, Bensmaia and his team used a vibratory motor that can produce any complex vibration they want. In the first experiment, they recorded afferent responses to a variety of frequencies in rhesus macaques, whose tactile nervous system closely resembles humans. In the second part, a group of human subjects reported how similar or different two particular frequencies felt when a probe attached to the motor touched their skin.
When the team analyzed the data recorded from the rhesus macaques, they found that not only did the nerve oscillate at the frequency of the vibrations, but they could also predict how the human subjects would perceive vibrations based on the neuronal responses to the same frequencies in the macaques.
"In this paper, we showed that the timing of spikes evoked by naturalistic vibrations matters, not just for artificial stimuli in the lab," Bensmaia said. "It's actually true for the kinds of stimuli that you would experience in everyday life."
What this means is that given a certain texture, we know the frequency of vibrations it will produce in the skin, and subsequently in the nerve.
In other words, if you knew the frequency of silk as your finger passes over it, you could reproduce the feeling by stimulating the nerves with that same frequency without ever touching the fabric.
But this study is just part of ongoing research for Bensmaia's team on how humans incorporate our sense of touch into more sophisticated concepts like texture, shape, and motion.
Researchers could someday use this model of timing and frequency of afferent responses to simulate the sensation of texture for an amputee by "replaying" the vibrations produced in an artificial limb as it explores a textured surface by electrically stimulating the nerve at the corresponding frequencies. It could also be used for haptic rendering, or producing the tactile feel of a virtual object on a touchscreen (think turning your iPad into a device for reading Braille, or controlling robotic surgery).
"We're trying to build a theory of what makes things feel the way they feel," Bensmaia said. "This is the beginning of a story that's really going to change the way people think about the somatosensory system."

In the article on the discovery of dinosaurs (They're back, Review, 6 June) you state: "In Sussex, a local doctor uncovered fragmentary remains of what appeared to be two more species of colossal extinct land reptiles." You grossly underplay the contribution of Lewes-born Gideon Mantell, geologist and palaeontologist, author and diarist, friend to princes and international scholars as well as local doctor. Mantell not only discovered (aided by his wife) the first remains of the iguanodon in 1824 but named it – as it resembled the tooth of an iguana. This was the first known land dinosaur, Mary Anning having identified the first sea-living dinosaur.Mantell went on to put together more pieces of the jigsaw with extra fossil discoveries. In contrast to Richard Owen, whose models form the basis for the Crystal Palace dinosaurs, Mantell stated correctly that iguanodon would have walked on their back legs, using their forearms to fight or gather food. He did, however, attribute the thumb spike to a nose horn though later corrected this assumption. The Natural History Museum has a display on Gideon and his wife Mary's contribution as well as the large "Mantell-piece" of Iguanodon fossils that he had on show in his museum in Brighton. He sold it, along with many more priceless items, to the British Museum in 1838. Gideon Mantell's reputation deserves better than your throwaway remark.

Conan O'Brien on '60 Minutes': a TBS tune-up
Conan O'Brien, appeared on television Sunday night for the first time since his abrupt departure from NBC's 'Tonight Show.' Cultural buzz, not ratings, will fuel his success, observers say.
Los Angeles
Reviews of Conan OŌĆÖBrienŌĆÖs Sunday night outing on CBSŌĆÖs venerable ŌĆ£60 MinutesŌĆØ news magazine show run the gamut from dubbing it a self-indulgent fiasco, to a great job ŌĆō warm, human, and honest.
The appearance won the night with more than 13 million viewers tuning in to hear what Mr. OŌĆÖBrien had to say about his abrupt departure from NBC earlier this year. This robust ŌĆ£gawkerŌĆØ turnout is in contrast to the low ratings he garnered during nearly all of his short-lived tenure as host of NBCŌĆÖs ŌĆ£The Tonight Show.ŌĆØ Expect even tinier audiences for his new program set to debut on little-known cable channel TBS in November.
Yet OŌĆÖBrien continues to embody the most cutting edge, boundary-breaking comedy, say media watchers and fellow comedians alike.
ŌĆ£There is a growing gap between what is culturally relevant and what will draw ratings,ŌĆØ says Syracuse University media expert Robert Thompson. The red-haired comedian has been a standard-bearer of that split, he points out, noting that it took years for Conan to find his ŌĆ£voiceŌĆØ when he first arrived at NBC in 1992, yet his cultural impact has been enormous.
Similarly, Comedy CentralŌĆÖs ŌĆ£The Daily Show with John StewartŌĆØ and ŌĆ£Colbert ReportŌĆØ with Stephen Colbert have tiny ratings, yet their ŌĆ£buzz factor,ŌĆØ fueled by video clips shared on the Web, is off the charts. ŌĆ£ConanŌĆÖs move to TBS completely seals the deal that the leading edge of late-night comedy is no longer in an age of grossing big audiences,ŌĆ£ Thompson says.
O'Brien is embracing the same Web tools, launching a wildly popular Twitter account in February.
OŌĆÖBrienŌĆÖs impact on television comedy has been huge, says K.P. Anderson, a stand-up comedian and executive producer of E! Entertainment Television's "The Soup." ŌĆ£Conan changed the boundaries of the game,ŌĆØ he says. His absurdist attitude has influenced everyone, including the various late-night hosts on the broadcast networks.
ŌĆ£Craig Ferguson and Jimmy Fallon and all those guys, they take a page from Conan who came in and said, ŌĆśwhat the [heck], whatŌĆÖs the worst they can do, fire me?ŌĆÖ ŌĆØ OŌĆÖBrienŌĆÖs early late night ratings were low, he notes, and took years to build. Comedians such as Mr. Stewart and Mr. Colbert ŌĆ£have a different template, but they all built on the kind of brashness that Conan brought in.ŌĆØ
This split between what some perceive as ŌĆ£hipŌĆØ or ŌĆ£coolŌĆØ extends beyond the late-night comedy stage, says Barry Katz, president of talent management at New Wave Entertainment. ŌĆ£Take a look at the top-rated sitcoms on TV,ŌĆØ he says, a list that includes such current and recent highly conventional sitcoms such as ŌĆ£Two and a Half men,ŌĆØ ŌĆ£Yes, Dear,ŌĆØ and ŌĆ£King of Queens.ŌĆØ Their healthy ratings, ranging anywhere from 10 to 14 million viewers, completely overshadow shows such as ŌĆ£The Office,ŌĆØ ŌĆ£30 Rock,ŌĆØ and ŌĆ£Arrested Development.ŌĆØ
The latter three were the darlings of critics, he notes, though they routinely languish in the ratings.
ŌĆ£Critics rally around these niche shows and make them hot,ŌĆØ he says, often for good reason: The shows push the creative boundaries and usher in new ideas and styles. But, Mr. Katz adds, ŌĆ£America decides what it likes and frequently, that doesnŌĆÖt click with what the insider media writing about these shows says is hip or cool,ŌĆØ noting that the entertainment industry is built on ratings.
As OŌĆÖBrien noted in his ŌĆ£60 MinutesŌĆØ interview, he is willing to risk his career to gain a chance to be creative ŌĆō a stance his current 40-city stage tour amply demonstrates. "Conan is the former head of the [Harvard] Lampoon,ŌĆØ Mark Stevens, CEO of global marketing firm MSCO, writes in an email. ŌĆ£He wants to be Important more than he wants to be rich. He is the standard bearer for that vaunted position now. And he will play to it to the hilt," Mr. Stevens says, adding, "and then he'll sell out and make a superhero summer blockbuster."

Anyway, especially for Reputation and those stories, the love scenes may get extended D but I'm not totally sure yet. Check it out if you want, and spread the word XD (This has been officialy put on hold)
Sigh, I have again started ignoring my profile. I really have to try and keep this somewhat more current.
Or cheat - I think I'll cheat. A lot of authors out there use this format, so I'm gonna paraphrase all of them.
Name: Lily Kalanoa is my pen name. A bit of fun trivia! - Translated into Japanese and fudged slightly, it is Yuri Kara- no aa (Yuri, the color of 'ah') Didn't know this when I chose it, but I rather like it, ne? Now I just need to go write some yuri...
Age: well, 22 now, but I'll probably ignore this and not update again, so, college/adult!
Birthday: June 20 Blood Type: AB I think Gender: Female bisexual (don't like it - tough shxt it's my life, my soul, and I don't want in to your Heaven anyway!)
Hair: Blonde but turning brown Eyes: Hazel Body: 5'4" Generaly a white girl, but tan! and just slightly overweight -sigh-
Residence: Born in Hawaii, Live in California (SoCal), be in Japan by Summer '08 (fingers crossed)
Job: Currently student, but I'll be teaching English as soon as I have my degree
Now the more fun stuff!

7. You read this list, and keep nodding and smiling.
8. You think about how stupid you are for reading this.

Are you looking for a fun family place to grab a bite while on Spring Break down in Sanibel? Cheeburger Cheeburger is just the spot. The fun of this old-fashioned, family-style diner only begins with the name. The giant burger that is featured in many a photo and the two walls that are covered with copies of those photos further the momentum of good times and good eats.
But, the real treat comes with the menu. There's a shake of the day, every day, and you can get your cheeburger made exactly your way. The only things left off at Cheeburger are the s and e in cheese. The eatery is named as a nod to the classic Saturday Night Live skit.
Come hungry. You'll pick from a load of toppings that range from the classic lettuce and tomatoes to jalapeno peppers and onion rings. You can get your burger rare, medium well or well; however it comes, it will be great!
You have to also make sure you try the onion rings. In fact, get the best of both worlds basket. It's half fries and half onion rings -- and it's all good.
Sit a spell on the white rocking chairs out front that welcome every visitor and your great time on Sanibel will get better with every bite!

I've been learning me some dynamic 'plugin loading' for python and noticed a not really problematic but rather an interesting difference between
import module and
from package import module.
I've created a test script consisting of four files (resembles my own setup for what I want to achieve)
The file tree looks like this:
- test (main package)
- sup (package, plugin folder)
- __init__.py
- uber.py (plugin)
- __init__.py
- bar.py ('main'-program)
- foo.py (object that needs dynamically added functionality)
- poo.py (decorator)
- sup (package, plugin folder)
from test import foo
def decorate(method):
print "before:", method.__name__ in dir(foo.Foo)
setattr(foo.Foo, method.__name__, method)
print "after :", method.__name__ in dir(foo.Foo)
return method
import os
class Foo(object):
def __init__(self):
def __loadplugins(cls, plugindir):
for f in os.listdir(os.path.join(os.path.dirname(__file__), plugindir)):
if f.endswith(".py"):
__import__(("%s.%s" % (plugindir, f))[0:-3])
from test import poo
def aFunction(self, anArg):
print anArg
I have two versions of bar.py, this one does not work:
import foo
f = foo.Foo()
f.aFunction("print goes here") # pylint: disable-msg=E1101
This one does work:
from test import foo
f = foo.Foo()
f.aFunction("print goes here") # pylint: disable-msg=E1101
The only difference between the two bars is the import. One is relative the other one is not. But the relative one does not work, and the absolute one does work. Is there anyone who can replicate this on his machine and could give some kind of explanation of why it is happening?
Thought it would be useful to also note my python version: Using normal python release 2.7.2 x86
Output of the 'wrong' bar.py:
before: False
after : True
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Users\Daan\workspace\python\mytests\src\test\bar.py", line 6, in <module>
f.aFunction("print goes here") # pylint: disable-msg=E1101
AttributeError: 'Foo' object has no attribute 'aFunction'
Output of the 'correct' bar.py:
before: False
after : True
print goes here

Product description
The first of two volumes covering the French armor of World War II, this title looks at the infantry and battle tanks that faced the onslaught of the German Blitzkrieg in 1940. Many of the French tanks were intended as replacements for the World War I-era Renault FT, and various modernization efforts throughout the inter-war years had given rise to a number of new infantry tanks, including the Renault R35 and R40, FCM 36, and the Hotchkiss H35 and H39. Alongside these developments was a separate family of battle tanks, starting with the Renault D1, D2, and, finally, the best-known French tank of the campaign - the Char B1 bis. French Tanks of World War II (1) offers a background to the design and development of these tank types, and an evaluation of their performance in the Battle of France.

Hey ladies,
My doctor called me about an hour ago with my nuchal translucency test result and he said its a positive result with a 1:28 chance. Did anyone else get a high result. I am 25 and have no family history of abnormalities and neither does my 27 year old boyfriend. I see no reason why my baby would have an issue. I am really hesitant to get any further testing. I lost my last baby due to miscarriage and would be destroyed if I did something to cause me to lose this baby. Does anyone know how bad my result is? The baby's neck measurement measured only like 2.8 or 2.9. I know above 3 is considered abnormal so I just don't understand. Any input would be appreciated.

But as with so many Scary Trend stories, it seems to have been inflated like a giant hot-air balloon.
Now, the employment figures in early 2010 were inflated in part by temporary federal census employment.
A more serious-minded direction seems right at first, but then that old, inflated sense of purpose can also lead to bigger damage.
early 15c., "cause to swell," from Latin inflatus, past participle of inflare "to blow into, inflate" (see inflation). Economics sense from 1844. In some senses a back-formation from inflation. Related: Inflatable; inflated; inflating.

Ind. officer leaves gun in school restroom
A school resource officer mistakenly left his loaded pistol in a locked staff restroom at a school
By PoliceOne Staff
MORGAN TOWNSHIP, Ind. — A school resource officer mistakenly left his loaded pistol in a locked staff restroom at a school.
The NWI Times reports that Officer Dale Marshall mistakenly left the pistol in the elementary and middle school bathroom after responding to an emergency text. Marshall had removed the gun from its holster after entering the restroom.
The restroom is for staff members, and is self-locking, according to the report.
The gun was later discovered by a teacher and identified as Marshall's weapon.
Marshall, who works as an officer with the Kouts Police Department in addition to being an SRO, will stay on in his position at the school following the incident.
Police Chief Jim Smith told NWI Times that the matter was handled according to policy.

I'd say it's spam, but I went on and it seems legit. Only thing I'd say is that it should probably be moved to Pimp Your Stuff.
It's pretty cool, good job. Though it doesn't have many locations, it'd be cool if it had a balloon for every tour stop.

Interesting idea. Shouldn't really be in "The Songs" though.
It's a good beginning, but just that... What you need to do is, when you go to Liverpool on tab 1 for example, have the important locations marked - childhood homes, their schools, where John and Paul met, Penny Lane, Strawberry Fields, the Cavern, other places they played, etc. A good beginning though.

I was disappointed in the map. I thought there might be markers for all the places mentioned in Beatles' songs, like Tuscon, Arizona. (That's where JoJo left his home.) Or, the Black Mountain Hills of Dakota, where Mister Raccoon lived… somewhere. Maybe the map is a work-in-progress.

Marketing Executive Tony Gumina Dies at 56
He oversaw licensing deals for the Ray Charles Marketing Group and served as an executive producer on a 2010 documentary about the legendary performer.
Tony Gumina, a marketing executive known for his work with the legendary entertainer Ray Charles, died April 27 in Cleveland of cancer, publicist David Brokaw announced. He was 56.
Gumina started and ran the Ray Charles Marketing Group, which raised money for the singer's foundation and oversaw the licensing of his name and likeness. He developed a slot machine that could be played by the blind and helped put the face of Charles on a stamp and lottery tickets.
Gumina was one of entertainer's pallbearers in 2004 and served as an executive producer on the 2010 documentary Ray Charles' America.
Gumina's friendship and business relationship with Charles dated to 1999, when he was an executive with MDI Entertainment, a Hartford, Conn.-based company that created entertainment-themed lottery games. Gumina also licensed popular brands such as Wheel of Fortune for MDI.
Earlier, he worked in the casino industry in Las Vegas.
Gumina most recently was the executive producer of sports projects for the I-X Center in Cleveland and was instrumental in bringing the Pro Football Hall of Fame Fan Fest to the convention center. This past weekend, the event held its inaugural edition and attracted Jim Brown, Terry Bradshaw, Don Shula, Len Dawson, Paul Warfield and dozens of other NFL legends.
Survivors include his wife Teresa and daughters Georgeann, Catherine Rose and Madeline.

Plays Like... Dishonored
Jess McDonell takes a break from exploring Dunwall to find mobile games that play like Dishonored.
by Jess McDonell on
Did you enjoy this video?Sign In to Upvote
I was cursing at the screen for showing too many IOS games, which I can't have because I lack an IOS device, then Critter Escape showed up. This one - along with Republique - will go to my must-check-out list.
What happened to the studio here?! o_0 Jess was kicked out of her building for playing waaaaay too many game during her work hours for sure. :P
Thanks for the episode and keep it up folks.
Only The Nightworld seems Republique seemed interesting
Looks like bethesda is really desperate to get the word out about dishonored. That was such a pointless video
@pappino360 Actually that would be based on Arkane Studios and their funding to promote more of their game.
