MechWarrior: Living Legends 0.5.0 Open BetaMay 27, 2011 Full Version 19 comments

"Will you be a living legend or a forgotten casualty?"
By the 31st century, humanity has spread to thousands of worlds, while a handful of powerful empires wage continual war for the right to rule the stars. Foremost among the weapons used in that struggle are BattleMechs. Loaded with auto cannons, missile launchers, lasers, and charged-particle beam weapons, these fusion-powered war machines of articulated armor stand upward of ten meters high. Piloting them are MechWarrior's, the best, most intensively trained men and women available. Like the armored knights of an earlier age, MechWarrior's are popular heroes, and their exploits are the stuff of legends.
MechWarrior: Living Legends (MWLL) is a total conversion modification for Crysis. MWLL is at its very core a mix between a First Person Shooter (FPS) and a Simulation (SIM). This will be achieved through the use of a mixed arms massively multiplayer gaming experience where the player takes part in a battle using a variety of vehicles and weapons. MWLL is using the concepts pioneered by the "Battlefield" franchise and more recently Crysis, of a sandbox feel where you get to play what you want and how you want it. MWLL depicts the epic struggles between the two factions of Battletech "The Clans" and "The Inner Sphere". Maps will typically have a mix of vehicles and infantry combat, using both of these to complete objectives as a team will be essential to winning rounds or campaigns in MWLL. In the project we will be bringing some of the legends of "MechWarrior" franchise back to life with new art and animations that do justice to these huge weapons of war and also do something that's never be done before using the deep universe of Battletech. There are so many facets to Battletech and finally comes a title that is willing to explore them.

The rapidly approaching release of MechWarrior: Living Legends 0.5.6 open beta will see the public debut of the long in development Clan Epona 50-ton hovertank.
The Epona is a pursuit hovertank capable of running down fleeing opponents and is provided in variants suitable for roles ranging from fire support to close range knife fighting. Though limited in electronics capabilities it is a tenacious brawler and nimble despite its size.
The Epona will be included along with several other new features, enhancements, balance changes and bug fixes in the upcoming MechWarrior: Living Legends 0.5.6 release.

This mod's server are still active? i wanna play this :) pretty much.
i want to play it too
Best Mechwarrior experience.
MWO sucks arse.
Will this mod survive the EA multiplayer server shutdown
mwll forums have the fix.
Soooo, I know this should be on the forums, but the forums are kind of... dead. Every time I install this, either from here or the official site, it is unable to run the auto updater for one reason or another. I could use some help here, I've been playing mechwarrior since I was an itch in my daddy's pants, so this is like a dream come true.
Check this out, Bacon :
So is this mod dead? I just managed to download like 5+ gb of the game and patches only to see 0 player base.
I dont have crysis wars (just normal crysis) but i loved the old mechwarrior games however i never played online with them. so is this similar to the new mechwarrior online? or better???
I find MWLL way, way better.
You can play it for free.
Google:MWLL GOuTY Edition
Highest Rated (6 agree) 10/10
MechWarrior: Living Legends is simply the greatest multiplayer mod ever created. From the fantastic level design, art direction, particle, graphics and sound effects, to the intricacies and balance of the weapons, equipment, mechs, vehicles, infantry, the relative faithfulness and respect for the franchise, this mod has it all. The sheer amount and quality of work done on this mod surely exceeds most commercial AAA offerings, but the MWLL team does it for free and we're not even out of beta yet…

"These arrived more beautiful than the on line picture. I ordered them for my mothers use with what she might like in mine. She was very happy and thought there were perfect."
"This was the best way to let friends know I'd moved after 17 years in the same place. I coordinated it with matching return address labels and the mailing looked so good! High quality envelopes are, of course, included. This was my first purchase from Tiny Prints and I'll be back!"
"searched many sites until I found the perfect I've moved and address labels on your website - thanks and I will definatley use you again"
"These cards are absolutely beautiful! The quality of the cardstock, the deep, rich color and the crisp, clear print are what I hoped they'd be."
"This simple card does exactly what it's intended to do at a very reasonable price. One of the very few that works for a single person by saying "I've Moved" rather than "We've Moved". Only one minor drawback -- no ability to have an additional message or photo printed on the reverse side."

I also work often in front of the computer and seeing my desk messy makes me unproductive. Cleaning your desk before starting to work is also good way to limit wasted time and keeps you more organize. When working I manage time which I list my entire tasks and set an estimated amount of time. This way I can finish tasks on time and be more productive at the end of the day.
10 Things To Keep At Your Desk To Stay Productive
This guest post was written by Paul Balcerak, a web producer for KIRO 7 Eyewitness News in Seattle where he produces web content and manages social media. He blogs about journalism and new media on his website,
First thing's first: Any desk I've ever worked at has looked like a complete disaster. That's all right. I worked with this guy once whose desk just consisted of stacks of paper, but if you asked him for something, he could find it in two seconds. Point is, having a desk that makes and keeps you productive doesn't really have anything to do with organization — if you're messy, be messy — it just has to do with keeping things on hand that'll help you get from point A to point B in your work day without being distracted.
Despite my messiness, I'm a pretty productive guy and I attribute that to keeping a good supply of everything I need at my desk. Here's a comprehensive list:
1. Comfortable seating
I'm not entirely sure what the current
I'm 6'4″, so most average desks and chairs are already uncomfortable to me. You may not have the same problem, but if you do, mention it. A lot of people don't even think to ask if they can have a nicer chair or
2. Water and snacks
Staying hydrated is a huge deal and being dehydrated can make you feel awful, which obviously makes it harder to work. People actually need quite a lot of water to stay properly hydrated — one way to estimate how much you need is to
With the snacks, make them smart ones; pick things that aren't going to crash your blood sugar and make you fall asleep after 20 minutes. I like protein-y snacks like peanut butter + celery or fresh fruit.
3. Paper and writing tools
These are always useful, whether you're taking a phone call or sketching out a design. Having a computer in front of you is all good, until your internet connection goes down in the middle of an important call or crashes on you before you start a big project. I love computers, you love them, none of us could live without them, but the old-fashioned way is still sometimes more reliable and I find it's good to have a pen and paper in front of me for emergencies.
4. A timer
My job keeps me crazy busy and it's not hard for me to accidentally work through a meeting or some other appointment. I keep a whole mess of alarms set on my phone so I don't forget things (ask my family — I think I had like five alarms go off before Thanksgiving dinner at 3 p.m.).
An alarm works the other way, too: If you don't have enough to do, an alarm can keep you on task. I've had days at home before where I've set an alarm and said, "OK, for the next 30 minutes, I'm going to crunch social media metrics, then when it goes off, I'll give myself a five-minute break."
5. A second computer monitor
This may not be for everyone, but I find that visually splitting up my work helps me focus on one thing at a time (regular work on one screen,
6. Something analog
(This is independent of the pen and paper.) Every now and then, do something to take your eyes away from your computer screen: Print out a long document that you have to proof, read a book at lunch — whatever. I consciously get up from my desk to go eat lunch either at a restaurant (re: Subway) or the break room. I can't always help it, but on the days that I'm not too busy, a good hour away from my desk keeps it from becoming monotonous and probably helps keep me from eventually going blind. I come back feeling refreshed, like I just started a new work day.
7. Headphones
(Optional but recommended: Techno music.) When I really, really need to get work done, I need a quiet space. Failing that, I need some form of audio stimulation that's rhythmic, drowns out everything else and is easy to ignore.
Headphones are also helpful for long conference calls; that way, you don't have to hold the phone to your ear for an hour or blast your speakerphone for the whole office to hear.
This post, by the way, is being brought to you by headphones and
8. Cold medicine
Offices, in terms of germ content and potential for sickness,
Like I said earlier: Feeling like crap can really put a crimp in your productivity.
9. Instant coffee
It sucks being tired and then getting so busy that you don't have time to fetch a cup of coffee. For me, the instant coffee game starts and stops with Starbucks Via, but do whatever you want. Via mixes really well and leaves virtually no grains in your coffee, except for that deliciously caffeine-y sludge that always ends up at the bottom.
10. Useful distractions
When you do let your mind wander, let it wander toward useful things. I do my best to rifle through my Instapaper or Google Reader queue at least once per day. I'm big on taking on reading assignments that aren't for work, but are still work-related. I find break time at the office to be an appropriate time to flex my brain on those.
Did I miss anything? What do you keep at your desk to stay productive? Let me know in the comments.December 16, 2010 in ABCs, guest, productivity, Top10in ABCs, guest, productivity, Top10

My biggest productivity tool is SNACKS! I can go all day with the right snack food at my disposal. Thank you for the post! Ashley
Great tips,thanks.
Great tips, my college career office always told us to keep them one page!
Comfortable seat, yes, but not too comfortable or you might not get up and walk around enough. Water, definitely because you're going to get thirsty eventually.
Great tips, especially the part about headphones: I wouldn't get much done without these to protect me from distactions

Article By Jonathan Martini - January 14, 2008
It's been over two months since NVIDIA has launched the GeForce 8800 GT. The new Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) has ushered in a new era of performance within the midrange market. An era, where a video card with an MSRP of $259 can be neck and neck with the GeForce 8800 GTX, a card with an MSRP nearly double that of the 8800 GT. It's easy to understand why these cards have been flying off the shelves.
The 8800 GT, while being part of the GeForce 8 Series, is based off a new core, dubbed the G92. Among the changes that the new card has ushered into the 8 Series is the 65nm manufacturing process, which allows NVIDIA to pack more transistors into a smaller space, all while running cooler and consuming less power than the 80nm and 90nm manufacturing process of the current 8 Series GPUs.
The evolution of the GPU core has also allowed higher core clock speeds, while increasing the speed of the stream processors. The additional transistors packed into the core account for an upgraded PureVideo engine, which now allows full hardware acceleration for High Definition (H.264 & VC-1) Blu-ray and HD DVD video, integrated HDMI support and PCI Express 2.0 support. NVIDIA has also rolled the external video processing engine known as NVIO, found on the high-end GeForce 8 Series cards, into the new core.
Today, we're examining the XFX GeForce 8800 GT XXX 512MB Alpha Dog Edition. XFX manufactures a variety of cards based on the GeForce 8800 GT GPU with 512MB or RAM; the PV-T88P-YDF4 follows the reference speeds of 600MHz for the core and 1.8GHz on the memory, the PV-T88P-YDQ4, a slightly faster card with a 625 MHz core clock, the PV-T88P-YDE4 (aka Extreme) which sports a 640 MHz core and a 1.9GHz memory speed, and lastly the PV-T88P-YDD4 (aka XXX) which reigns over the others with a 670 MHz core and a memory speed of 1.95 GHz. The XXX version also cranks up the shader clock speed to 1.7 GHz, up from 1.5 GHz.
Let's take a closer look at what this card has to offer...

WASHINGTON, D.C. — President Barack Obama's use of unmanned drones to kill Americans who are suspected of being al-Qaida allies deserves closer inspection, lawmakers said Sunday as even some of the president's allies suggested an uneasiness about the program.
Obama's stance toward the terrorist threats facing the United States has left some Democrats and Republicans alike nervous about the unmanned drones targeting the nation's enemies from the skies. Questions about the deadly program dogged Obama's pick to lead the Central Intelligence Agency last week and prompted lawmakers to consider tighter oversight. All killings carried out under the drone program have ballooned under the president's watch.
"We are in a different kind of war. We're not sending troops. We're not sending manned bombers. We're dealing with the enemy where we find them to keep America safe. We have to strike a new constitutional balance with the challenges we face today," said Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill.
"The policy is really unfolding. Most of this has not been disclosed," the second-ranking Senate Democrat added.
Before John Brennan's confirmation hearing to lead the CIA on Thursday, Obama directed the Justice Department to give the congressional intelligence committees access to classified legal advice providing the government's rationale for drone strikes against American citizens working with al-Qaida abroad. That 2012 memo outlined the Obama administration's decision to kill al-Qaida suspects without evidence that specific and imminent plots were being planned against the United States.
The nomination of Brennan, Obama's counterterrorism adviser who oversaw many of the drone strikes from his office in the West Wing basement, kick-started the discussion about how the United States prosecutes its fight against the terrorist group.
Sen. Angus King, an independent from Maine, said he prefers a review before the remote-operated aircraft fire on someone.
"It just makes me uncomfortable that the president – whoever it is – is the prosecutor, the judge, the jury and the executioner, all rolled into one," King said. "So I'm not suggesting something that would slow down response, but where there is time to go in and submit it to a third party that is a court, in confidence, and get a judgment that, yes there, is sufficient evidence here."
Former Defense Secretary Bob Gates, himself a former CIA chief, suggested "some check" on a president's ability to order drone strikes against American al-Qaida operatives would be appropriate and lent support to creating a special court that would review such requests.
"I think that the rules and the practices that the Obama administration has followed are quite stringent and are not being abused. But who is to say about a future president?" said Gates, Pentagon chief for Presidents George W. Bush and Obama.
The potential model that some lawmakers are considering for overseeing such drone attacks is a secret court of federal judges that now reviews requests for government surveillance in espionage and terrorism cases. In those proceedings, 11 federal judges review wiretap applications that enable the FBI and other agencies to gather evidence to build cases. Suspects have no lawyers present, as they would in other U.S. courts, and the proceedings are secret.
The Democratic leader of the Senate Intelligence Committee, Sen. Dianne Feinstein of California, said she intends to review proposals for "legislation to ensure that drone strikes are carried out in a manner consistent with our values."
Republicans seemed to oppose such an oversight proposal.
The Republican chairman of the House Intelligence Committee said his members review all drone strikes on a monthly basis, both from the CIA and Pentagon.
"There is plenty of oversight here," said Rep Mike Rogers, R-Mich. "There is not an American list somewhere overseas for targeting, that does not exist."
Other lawmakers seemed leery of the program's current reach even as they lined up against the oversight proposals.
Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., said a Feinstein-backed oversight panel would be "an encroachment on the powers of the president of the United States."
"But what we need to do is take the whole program out of the hand of the Central Intelligence Agency and put it into the Department of Defense, where you have adequate oversight," McCain said. "Since when is the intelligence agency supposed to be an air force of drones that goes around killing people? I believe that it's a job for the Department of Defense."
And Rep. Tom Cole, R-Okla., questioned whether America's intelligence operations were benefiting from the killings.
"We are losing a lot of opportunities out there to actually extract people and get information," he said. "Human intelligence is really much more important than taking out individual targets."
During Thursday's hearing, Brennan defended drone strikes only as a "last resort," but he said he had no qualms about going after Anwar al-Awlaki in September 2011. A drone strike in Yemen killed al-Awlaki and Samir Khan, both U.S. citizens. A drone strike two weeks later killed al-Awlaki's 16-year-old son, a Denver native.
"I think it's very unseemly that a politician gets to decide the death of an American citizen," said Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky. "They should answer about the 16-year-old boy, al-Awlaki's son who was killed not as collateral damage, but in a separate strike."
Those strikes came after U.S. intelligence concluded that the elder al-Awlaki was senior operational leader of al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula plotting attacks on the U.S., including the failed Christmas Day bombing of an airplane landing in Detroit in 2009.
Lawmakers largely sided with the strategy even if they differed on how precisely to execute it.
"If you take up arms against America and you fight in a terrorist training camp or on the front lines in Pakistan or Afghanistan or Yemen, you shouldn't be surprised if America reaches out and exacts justice against you," said Republican Rep. Tom Cotton or Arkansas, who opposes bringing judges into the decision-making process.
Durbin appeared on NBC's "Meet the Press." King, Gates and Paul spoke with CNN's "State of the Union." Rogers was interviewed on CBS' "Face the Nation." McCain and Cotton were on "Fox News Sunday." Cole was a guest on ABC's "This Week."

The part that really gets me excited though is the lore stuff. I love stories, I love Warcraft's story, and hearing that Archaeology not only is staying, but it's being transformed into a new type of story vehicle for lore makes me terribly happy. On top of that we're getting Caverns of Time: War of the Ancients, something that I've been wanting to see for a very, very long time. And then we've got Cho'gall, who I never really expected to see again -- does this mean we'll see Garona, or Med'an, or any of the other characters from the latter half of the Warcraft comic run? I don't know, but it's the not knowing that's what makes it fun for me. I tend to keep an open mind with information like this, since Cataclysm is still in the alpha stage of testing. Having done beta with all three versions of World of Warcraft, if there's one thing I've learned it's that nothing is set in stone until you buy the game. And heck even then you may not see everything right away, there's usually plenty of patches with new content to play through.
So what did everyone else think of the changes announced? Did you like them, did you hate them, or are you more of a "wait and see" when it comes to Cataclysm info? What got you really excited, be it the good kind of excited, or the bad?

If you'd like a simple, front-end spam filter that you can place in front of an existing SMTP mail server, try an OpenBSD transparent bridge running spamd. Here's the no-nonsense version on undeadly.org, written by Chris Kuethe.
I did the same thing with a couple of Soekris 4801's, running off 1GB Compact Flash cards. My 4801 model has a 266Mhz processor, which sustains around 10-15%% utilization during peak use: mass DNS lookups against the sbl-xbl.spamhaus.org list. 256MB RAM — 128 reserved as an MFS drive [RAM drive] for /var, using Bill Maas' mfsmount script, 10MB reserved for dnscache, and the rest for general OS duty. No moving parts. Low power. Low heat.
I was perplexed at how all the spamd parts worked together, until I drew it out. Ah, now it makes sense. Hopefully you'll find it helpful, as well.

Maci Bookout vs. Catelynn Lowell: Which Teen Mom Is More Deserving of a Spin-Off?
Have you heard the news? Word on the street is that Catelynn Lowell and Maci Bookout both have spin-offs in the works! Maci was recently spotted with a cameraman following her, and both Catelynn and her fiance, Tyler Baltierra, tweeted about filming with their "MTV family."
We're equal opportunity fans of Maci and Catelynn, but it would be slightly strange if MTV gave them both spin-offs. After all, why not just extend Teen Mom to five seasons? We have a feeling that only one of these mommies will actually get her own show, but who deserves it more?
Catelynn and Tyler have captured fans with their sweet relationship and unflinching maturity when it comes to giving up their baby for adoption. We'd love nothing more than to tag along as they buy their own house, get married, and eventually have more kiddos!
But then there's Maci. This gal is the life of the party, has tons of fun with her friends, and is basically nonstop entertainment. Plus, we'd love to see more of her relationship with Baby Bentley, who is pretty much the cutest kiddo this side of The Dirty South.
Which fabulous Teen Mom do you think deserves a spin-off more, ladies n' gents? Hit the poll and vote your hearts out!

Portland Public Schools continues to discipline African American, American Indian and Latino students at higher rates than their white and Asian peers, according to data presented to the school board on Monday.
Portland Public Schools continues to discipline African American, American Indian and Latino students at higher rates than their white and Asian peers, according to data presented to the school board on Monday.
The state takeover of public schools in New Jersey's poorest city, Camden, last week is a move long overdue and presents a new opportunity for the local educational system to reinvent itself.
An in-depth state report on Camden's schools "in crisis" laid out several recommendations in August, including hiring a superintendent who could transform the district. But just as the Camden Board of Education had narrowed its search to three candidates last week, the process came to a halt when Gov. Christie announced a full state takeover of Camden schools.
Nearly one in five high school age boys in the United States and 11 percent of school-age children over all have received a medical diagnosis of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, according to new data from the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Camden, New Jersey, is not an easy place for a kid to grow up in.Just ask 15-year-old Destinee Williams."Camden has this reputation of being dangerous because you can walk outside at 3 in the afternoon and hear gunshots," Destinee said. "Gangs and drugs are a huge deal. Kids get into gangs to feel safe so they won't get killed."
Seven "priority" schools chosen for federal funding are among the lowest achieving 5 percent of schools in New York State.
They're less than five blocks apart; two Chicago public schools, each more empty than full. Now, one has been marked for closing, stirring controversy in the Washington Heights neighborhood.
Gov. Chris Christie, faced with a school district that has the second lowest graduation rate in the state, a declining enrollment and high poverty said Camden's system is broken and that the state is taking over Camden City Public Schools immediately.
In 1994 Michigan passed Gun Free School zones giving rise to zero tolerance policies in districts across the state.
In a release Wednesday, the Illinois State Board of Education says the spike in low-income students and those with limited English has led to increased costs for school districts.
Two recent events underscored the importance of utilizing digital tools to inspire students and demonstrated the intersection between technology and education. On March 5th, AT&T's Hispanic/Latino Association, HACEMOS, held the 15th annual High Tech Day in 31 cities across the country. The same week, the Pew Internet and American Life Project released a report that revealed how teachers are using technology in their classrooms to enhance learning and engage students.
Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg has made closing large, low-performing high schools like Adlai E. Stevenson High School in the Bronx a linchpin of his reform strategy. In the big schools' place, he opened smaller, often theme-based schools designed to give students a more supportive educational experience.
If you're reading this, you probably spent years of your childhood in the classroom. And the memory that suffuses my school days is boredom.
A growing number of children in Lafayette Parish are receiving some kind of education before they enter kindergarten, and new efforts by the school system and other entities are designed to make sure all children are prepared to learn before age 5.
As a parent, I would never dream of handing my car keys to a teenager who hasn't first completed a driver's education class.


text: I am writing in response to your article about the unfortunate death of an elderly couple, one member under hospice care, who chose to end their lives with violence. We force such decisions upon people by failing to make a more reasonable choice available to them. It is sad that we, as the makers of our laws, refuse to allow those with terminal or debilitating illnesses to end their lives with dignity. Further, a non-violent death may not leave the family of the deceased with such a high level of sadness and possibly guilt.

While Kemper calls Mall of the Dead "minimalist" in its design, Kirchner -- who says he has spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on special effects and sets for his haunted houses -- is more critical. "All it is, is some blood spattered on the wall and some junky furniture in the rooms. There's nothing built; there's nothing there."
At this point Kemper's funds appear to be running on empty. Though he has promised to pay his performers $8 an hour, he warned them last week that if the haunted house doesn't open, they might not ever see a dime. Most of the young staff seemed fine with that arrangement. But Chris Hensen, whom Kemper hired to weld barrels, wasn't in a forgiving mood when a $300 check bounced. "He was using my services for nothing," says Hensen.
Kemper acknowledges the debt and concedes that he has also failed to cover payments for at least $10,000 worth of ads. But despite the problems, he's determined to persevere.
"He's trying to make as much money as he can," scoffs Kirchner. "He's trying to create a controversy, create a lot of PR, trying to make it more than it is. You could see more on the Cartoon Network, probably. The bottom line is, the guy's in the middle of nowhere, has an awful haunted house and is trying to convince people to come out there."
Says Kemper: "We're not out to send people to the therapy couch. We just want to scare adults and give 'em something fun and different to do."
On Friday Kemper buckled to the pressure and removed both the castration scene and the scene with the tongue-puncturing dominatrix. That was good enough for Chief Noonan. "I'm not trying to censor the man," the chief insists. "I'm just trying to direct him on what kind of license he needs. This guy came into town and told us he was putting a haunted house on. If he'd have been upfront with us and said, 'Here's what I want to do, what do I need to do?' he'd have had all the stuff in the first place."

Gun-safety event arms visitors with knowledge
Five-year-old Anthony Caviness didn't know much about gun safety before Monday, but an event outside Durham's Human Services Building on Main Street changed that.
"I would just run out of the house!" Anthony said in explaining how he'd react if he saw a gun lying around. "Learning about gun safety is good!"
Anthony's grandmother, Mary McGhee, was happy to hear that. She brought Anthony to the firearms-safety event to help him understand the danger of unsecured guns, so he'll live a long and healthy life.
"We want him to be aware that if he sees a gun, he should get a parent or someone, and not even touch it," she said. "It's important to know better."
Durham health officials are working to curb accidental shootings, which wounded a 5-month-old girl in February and killed a 9-year-old boy in April.
They helped sponsor Monday's event with the Durham County Gun Safety Team, which gave out free gunlocks and distributed literature about properly storing firearms.
Joanie Ross, a health education specialist with the Durham County Department of Public Health, is the team's coordinator.
"If you own a firearm, it needs to be locked up – especially if there are children in the home," she said.
A program called ASK (Asking Saves Kids) encourages parents to ask other parents if they have firearms in their home if their child plans to visit.
"It it's loaded in the top of a closet, then it's going to be a dangerous place for your child to play, because they find everything," Ross said.
Parents would be amazed by how much their children know about their guns, she said.
"We talk to many young people, and they tell us: 'We know exactly where the gun is,' " she said. "But the odd thing is that parents don't know that their children know. That's scary."
Even children under age 5 can find their parents' guns, Ross said.
"They can climb to the top of a refrigerator and pull a firearm down. They can use a chair to get up in a closet, or look under the bed. They can get to whatever they want to get to."
Gayle Harris, director of the Durham County Department of Public Health, said 1.7 million children in the United States live in homes where guns are loaded or not correctly stored.
"Every day, there are nine children (in the U.S.) who are injured or killed as the result of unsafely stored guns," Harris said. "We want parents to prevent lost lives."
One visitor to Monday's event was Addi Hernandez, the mother of a 7-year-old boy.
"We don't have guns in the house, but a lot of people do," she said. "Being able to speak with other parents about gun safety is important."
After learning about firearm safety, Hernandez plans to talk to her son.
"He's 7, and a gun to him is cool," she said. "I want him to know that if he comes across a gun somewhere, that he knows it's dangerous and what to do. Kids see guns on TV shows, and somebody gets shot; then they stand up and walk away, which is not realistic."
For Marcia Owen, executive director of the Religious Coalition for a Nonviolent Durham, gun safety is a moral issue.
"The presence of a gun is a risk," Owen said. "There's nothing more important than the safety of our children. To be safe is to be loved, and visa versa."
If parents own a gun, it's important to lock it up so neither children nor any other unauthorized person can get it, she said.
"Many guns are stolen each year, and that puts us all at risk," Owen said. "Unsecured weapons are like second-hand smoke – they affect us all."
Shooting are often unplanned and the result of lost tempers, she said.
"They're the response to conflict," Owen said. "The presence of a loaded weapon can take a common conflict and turn it into a crime of the worst proportions, with consequences that will endure for a lifetime."
For more information or to get a free gunlock, call Joanie Ross at 919-560-7765 or email her at firstname.lastname@example.com

6 slices
2 cups
all-purpose flour
1 1/2 tablespoons
white sugar
2 teaspoons
baking powder
1/4 teaspoon
1 1/2 teaspoons
garlic powder
4 teaspoons
dried chives
1/3 cup
grated Parmesan cheese
1 cup
shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
egg, beaten
1/2 cup
1/2 cup
vegetable oil
1/2 cup
condensed cream of mushroom soup
Great muffins Shelley!! I only changed one thing - I substituted melted butter for the oil. It gave them a rich buttery taste. - Excellent!!
These muffins were moist and had a nice texture, but the flavor was somewhat bland despite all the zesty ingredients. I don't think I'll bother with them again - though they were easy to make, they were time consuming, and the results weren't really worth the effort.

These were great. For breakfast, with pasta, soup or salad. I doubled the bacon and cheese. I only used about 1/3 the garlic, maybe a little more. And I used about 4 TBSP of chopped fresh green onions, instead of the chives. A definate keeper. My family loved them.
These were so tasty that they were eaten any time of the day - from breakfast on. They disappeared in no time.
Good muffins Shelley! Added more of the cheeses and chives. Thanks!
I loved these muffins!!! But I think that next time I make them I will cut back on the salt and oil. They were a bit greasy, and a little saltier than I like. They are crusty on the outside,and soft and fluffy on the inside. Yummy!
L really liked these, but for some reason, my first batch was prone to falling apart. I used applesauce instead of oil in the second batch & they came out much better. (Applesauce instead of oil helps to cut back on fat, but still bakes up just as well.) This is a great morning treat served with omelets for a house full of people!
Beautiful muffins which took no time to cook.... I substituted garlic for vegeta (multi-purpose vegetable seasoning powder), taking care to reduce the salt... YUMMY !!

Step 2: The Base
-Wrap as many times as you wish, it takes a bit of practice to know when to stop.
-Take it off your hand and hold horizontally.
-Wrap as many times until when you squeeze it it forms a cube like shape.
-Flip to it's side and squeeze it, wrap and rotate until there are no more pieces sticking out.
Step 3: The Structure
-If some parts start to poke out just turn it and wrap until everything is uniform.
-Stop when you are satisfied with the size, tired, or are out if yarn.

Ty Segall '09 is a rock star whose career is definitely on a roll. New York's Village Voice is comparing him to rock legend Neil Young; SF Weekly calls him a "savant;" and his critically acclaimed album, "Twins," landed on NPR's list of 50 Favorite Albums of 2012.
"It's a monster album, with explosive guitars, thrashing beats, and shredded blasts of insanely catchy hooks and turns," says enthusiast Robin Hilton, an NPR producer and co-host of the show "All Songs Considered." NPR didn't rank the albums on its list, but Hilton calls "Twins" one of the three best albums of the year.
These days, you can see the 25-year-old singer-songwriter performing on "Conan," or read about how much he loves San Francisco in Spin magazine. If you're a fan, you might have caught his U.S. tour, which just wrapped up in February. A European tour late last year included concerts in France, Spain, Italy, Greece, and the U.K.
The multi-instrumentalist is busy recording solo projects and playing in several bands. He also recently started Fuzz, a critically acclaimed pop noise band featuring Segall on vocals and drums.
At USF, friends and fans knew the media studies major had star power. In his senior year, he headlined 2009's Festival for Freedom to help raise money for the university's Erasmus living/learning program. "He was a big draw for festival fans," said Jenny Williams, a member of the Erasmus community at the time and festival organizer. It raised about $500 to send Erasmus students abroad.
Segall's music aired on KUSF, and he was known on campus as a vocal opponent of the university's decision to sell the radio station in 2011 and turn it into an online-only station.
