Over the years, its influence has grown with its scope. The production centers on music, both the traditional songs of Vietnam and original pieces, some updated with modern pop and hip-hop flourishes and others playing it straight as Vietnamese "country" ballads. But there are also skits, plot-driven musical numbers and prerecorded, informative interludes.
"Because of the history of Vietnam and its modern music history connected to France and the U.S.—the idea of variety shows and those kinds of things—it makes sense that Paris By Night took off the way it did," says Caroline Kieu Linh Valverde, professor of Asian American studies at UC Davis. She says that while it might be seen as comparable to phenomena such as Bollywood, Paris By Night stands out among entertainment consumed by immigrant communities by being born entirely of those communities. "I see Paris By Night as unique not only because of how it was created, but also because of how ubiquitous it was and how it landed back in Vietnam in a huge way."
Nguyen Ngoc Ngan and Nguyen Cao Ky Duyen provide the glue for the show, filling up the interminable minutes of set changes with banter and jokes, as well as tidbits about Vietnamese culture and history. Ngoc Ngan, a tuxedo-wearing author who lost his first wife and children while fleeing a Vietnamese labor camp in 1979, plays the role of the feisty sage. Ky Duyen, the glamorous but warm daughter of the former South Vietnamese prime minister, moved with her family to Huntington Beach as a child. She's the voice of the Americanized Vietnamese immigrant, able to muse on the gap between cultures and curious about the knowledge Ngoc Ngan can impart.
"Even for myself, it's been such an institution of the Vietnamese overseas," Ky Duyen says of the production. "I came over here when I was 9 or 10, and in Vietnam, I had gone to American school. So I didn't know anything about Vietnamese history. Doing these programs, I've learned so much about the culture, the sayings, the nuance of the language."
She isn't the only one. "I'm always amazed at how many kids, the only connection they have to Vietnamese culture and language is through their parents watching Paris By Night," says Hao-Nhien Vu. "For a lot of families, if they don't have a lot of time to spend with their kids, working minimum wage 12 hours a day, then products like this are sometimes the first and only connection kids have with the Vietnamese language."
Nhi Lieu, an assistant professor of Asian American studies at the University of Texas at Austin, remembers her Vietnamese-immigrant parents encouraging her to watch Paris By Night with them to learn about the country she had come from. But Lieu, who has written academic papers and book chapters about Thuy Nga, was struck by the connection the videos had to American culture. "When I was watching in the '80s, I would watch the Solid Gold dancers, and then I would watch Paris By Night," she remembers. "I'd say, 'Oh, that's kind of like Solid Gold, but the immigrant version.' I'd sit there and think, 'Wow, what are they going to do next?'"
But Thuy Nga's main audience remains first-generation immigrants. And in the United States—especially in Orange County's Little Saigon, the largest concentration of Vietnamese people outside of Vietnam—many of them are now senior citizens, aged 35 years since the great exodus from Vietnam. Paris By Night, with its traditional Vietnamese music and celebration of culture, remains comfortingly familiar to them in a world where little else is.
"It's something that a lot of elders associate themselves with," says Malessa Tem, a UC Irvine junior and a member of the campus' Vietnamese Students Association. She says that while she and her friends grew up watching Paris By Night over the dinner table, now their only contact with it comes when visiting relatives and when re-creating it for their club's "culture nights." "It's, like, you have a bottle of fish sauce, a bowl of pho and Paris By Night—that's the epitome of the Vietnamese family," she says.
Thuy Nga understands that. The audience is why the shows pay such fealty to the homeland—reveling in Vietnam's traditional music and customs, constantly revisiting such pivotal moments as the fall of Saigon in 1975. "There is this need in this community to move through history and to think through history and to remind future generations about this history," says Lieu. "There's this insistence on this memory of where they're from and the war that is part of this experience."
It's this repetition of subjects that forces Paris By Night to continually outdo itself with ever-more-lavish productions and increasingly ingenious crossbreeding of traditional Vietnamese themes with modern motifs. After Paris By Night 98's elaborate opening airplane sequence, for example, the program ran through a few melancholy homeland ballads performed by solo and duet singers alongside an onstage string section. But then came a pull-out-the-stops dance-pop number featuring a lustful, coffin-dwelling vampire and a maiden in distress. Someone at Thuy Nga must have been reading Twilight.

Damn it you! Isn't there something you are NOT good at! Lol
Just a random guy with a passion for video games and music. If you want to contact me, I'm on Xfire and Steam often enough. If you want a custom header, background or avatar (or all three!) for personal use or for your group(s), let me know ;) Space and words of all sorts will fill this space, never to be seen again. On top of that I am going to update my profile so that you cannot see these words. Instead, a cool looking picture shall go on top with some html links for various sites of mine. I still have five hundred characters to go. Drat. Whilst writing that I lessened the character amount. I now have three hundred and sixty one. Wow, that actually worked. But it doesn't matter, because you will never see this again. Well, maybe if you're lucky you will, but I'm not so sure. Anyway, I'm going to attempt to. I need to max out the text. Horribly annoying at times, let me tell you. Still quite a few characters to go, but only in the double digits. Fortunately that ate a bit up. Single.

Let me first say that although this seems like quite a long poem, if you condencesd it, you would first, lose the cadence, and secondly it really isn't that long. This was written for a school assignment, but I thought I'd throw it up here for you guys to read and for me to receive your input. This story line isn't original as I rewrote in narrative poem form the ending to the classic book, Beowulf. Please read it all the way through and leave a comment as to what you thought about it. Thanks!
Drawing up his sword
Armed in mail and helm
Upon his arm a shield
He to defend his realm
Marched resolutely forth
All alone in his fight
Old but still hale
In his sword-arm, might.
The hoard-guard, the dragon,
Sensing the advance
Rose forth to meet him
And took a battle stance.
Then the king broke out
In a mighty storm of anger
He challenged the dragon
Heedless of his danger.
From the gaping dragon jaws
Came torrents of fire
The serpent was angered
He released all his ire.
The king raised his shield
The flaming breath to avoid.
The foe closed his jaws
While with the king he toyed.
As the two fought within
The companions without
The fierce battle they heard
Their hearts filled with doubt.
They ran from the cave
They fled from their king
All save the youngest
Who faced danger with his king.
Then king and companion
Stood behind the shield
As for a second time
The fire sought to make them yield.
Then out swept the sword
The great and old Naegling
And the king, standing tall
Made for a strong swing.
Smiting him on the snout
His blade failed him then
The heirloom weapon
Failed in the dragons den.
Naegling was snapped
On the scales of the foe
Bereft of his sword
He could deal no blow.
Then the great dragon
Reached out with his jaws
And clamped them on the king
His body to gnaw.
But the kings companion
Soldier and friend
Struck out with his weapon
His lord to defend.
The blade was an heirloom
And mighty in make
And striking not the head
Smote the belly of the snake.
The worm was weakened
And in that very hour
The king took his knife
And revealed all his power.
The keen-edged blade struck
And the dragon felt it's bite
The worm let go of the king
It would no longer take flight.
The kinsmen victorious
Yet one mortally wounded
Saw the dragon dead
And the treasure that abounded.
Then the dear king
As he lay dying on his foe
Asked his companion
The treasure to show
So that he might be glad
And dying happy know
The dragon had provided
For the land he loved so.
Damn it you! Isn't there something you are NOT good at! Lol
Haha, thanks Headhunter :P
If you want a list though (of the things I'm not good at), I can give it to you ;D
No need.. For now...
wow...I'm with HH...you make me feel antispecial =P
*ads Arc to might be worthy to share my story with list*
Heh, thanks Sab3r :)
And if you have a story, can I read it please? Please?! :D
hmmm, maybe when I'm not paranoid of plagiaristic, copying punks on the internet.
Feel free to send me a PM presenting your case. =P
Hey! I did place my work on here didn't I? :P
But Ori and I have shared stories before, so I think I'm good :)
ya but this story might make a good buck.
and a story is much easier to steal and publish it as your own.
Hmm.... One way you could get around that is sending me a PDF. Or if you use Google Docs, you could make sure we can see it, but not edit or use it in any way. Just some ideas :)
hmmm good points

20 apartments for rent near East Side, Kansas City, MO
Apartments in East Side, Kansas City, MO
East Side is a Kansas City, Missouri neighborhood. It covers a large area in the region of the junction of Interstate 435 and Interstate 70. East Side's northwestern corner is at East 18th Street and the Paseo. Its southeastern corner is near East 51st Street and Blue Ridge Boulevard. Two additional sectors just to the east are considered as part of this neighborhood, though they are not connected to the main area or to each other.
The center of East Side is about six miles from downtown Kansas City. This makes it close enough to be convenient, yet far enough to be a nice place for families to get out of the city's daily hustle and bustle. Schools are plentiful, and parks offer a place for family recreation. The Blue River extends through this neighborhood.
Some residents are able to work close to home. Next to Interstate 435 is the Blue Valley Industrial section. This is the largest industrial area within the city limits of Kansas City. Though this area had been held back for many years due to flooding restrictions, in 1970 the flood issues were addressed with a $250 million project. Today, the Blue Valley Industrial Association has plans for more improvements in the area's infrastructure.
Also in East Side is Arrowhead Stadium, the home of the Kansas City Chiefs. This stadium has seating for 33,975 fans in its upper level, for 35,277 fans in its lower level, and for 10,199 fans in its club level.
The stadium is actually a part of the Truman Sports Complex. Its neighbor, Kauffman Stadium, is considered as one of the crown jewels among ballparks of major league baseball. Home to the Kansas City Royals, it has seating for 37,903 fans. Kauffman is known as a state-of-the-art stadium.

Patch Testing for Skin Allergies
The Baylor Contact Dermatitis Clinic was established to help those patients who suffer from skin allergies. Persons may develop allergies to ingredients in skin care products, ingredients in cosmetics, topical medications, chemicals in clothing, jewelry and metals, and other substances. When these substances contact the skin, they may result in a rash known as contact dermatitis. Contact dermatitis may result in a variety of different rashes. These include, but are not limited to, eczema, hand eczema, eyelid dermatitis, facial rashes, and others.
The Baylor Contact Dermatitis Clinic performs patch testing to diagnose the cause of skin allergies. Such testing is distinct from the prick testing performed by an allergist to diagnose hay fever or breathing allergies. In patch testing, small amounts of substances are placed in patches and applied on the back for 48 hours. No needles are used. A reading is then done to see if any skin allergies exist.
Additional Information
The clinic is run by Dr. Rajani Katta, an active member of the American Contact Dermatitis Society. Dr. Katta is a graduate of Baylor College of Medicine and completed her dermatology training at Northwestern University. She lectures frequently and has published multiple articles on the topic of contact dermatitis.

Wal-Marts Recall Donkey Meat for Containing Fox DNA
The Chinese branch of Wal-Mart super stores is issuing a recall of donkey meat products after some of it was found to contain fox DNA.
The "five spice" donkey meat is considered a delicacy in parts of China. Fox meat is not – but it is cheap, as foxes are commonly bred in China for their fur.
Someone from the supplier's factory has already been detained on suspicion of fraud, according to news reports.
China is no stranger to food controversies, including a 2008 scandal involving milk and infant formula tainted with melamine that sickened an estimated 300,000 people, including 54,000 hospitalized babies.
Wal-Mart's Chinese stores have also earned some notoriety stateside for allegedly carrying products of questionable food safety quality, including raw meat available to grab with bare hands, sets of ribs sitting in the open air, and live frogs and turtles.
Wal-Mart has more than 400 stores in China.
I once tried bison meat, venison, and elk it was all good but the elk was the best imo - I think its great that you can buy local
Quoting Sat.Wed:
Bison meat or local cattle,pig etc.. or venison here none of the store bought "imported" from Mexico crap in my house
The US imports a lot of other food supplies from China. You better start reading labels.
Quoting gludwig2000:
I rarely shop at Wal Mart here in the states, but now I know that I will never shop at one in China, eww.
Quoting JoJoBean8:
At least it wasn't dog.

12 Monkeys' Heroes Both Do The Unforgivable, But We Still Root For Them
Last night's episode of 12 Monkeys went to an incredibly dark place, showing both Cole and Cassandra Railly doing things that are basically unforgivable. It's actually hard to say whose transgression was worse. And yet, we still manage to sympathize with both of them, which is kind of impressive. Spoilers ahead... »

The news that Clinton Portis wants to play football again was met with a giant yawn among Redskins fans.
Oh, what, you havent heard?
Yes, Portis, who played for the Redskins from 2004 through the 2010 season, has let it be known that he wants to play again after being out of football in 2011. According to Steve Wyche of NFL.com, Portis agent said that a handful of teams have expressed interest in the running back.
"I'm ready to go back, ready to work things out and I'm open to idea of going out to prove that I can still play," Portis said. "I just turned 30 and with nine years in the NFL and six 1,000-yard seasons that's enough right there to show what I can do.
Those 1,000-yard seasons represent a nice accomplishment but in the NFL its what you have done lately that counts. In Portis case, thats not much.
Portis was on a roll at the midpoint of the 2008 season. He gained nearly 1,000 yards in the first half of the season but just over 500 in the last eight games. Then he finished both the 2009 and 2011 seasons on injured reserve, playing in a total of 13 games and rushing for 724 yards. The Redskins released him prior to the 2011 lockout.
He worked out for six teams last year and didnt sign a contract. It is not known if one was offered and Portis did not like the terms or if all of the teams simply passed.
And money could well be the key to whether or not Portis plays in 2012. If he is willing to sign an incentive-based deal, he could latch on. If he wants a seven-figure salary or more than a small, token amount of guaranteed money, he may well end up doing things like interviewing Mike Tyson on a full-time basis.

Welcome to the forum and CoD community, and as for the kill count, I know what you mean. I think it's because Ali-A was showing footage from a release event. Maybe they altered it slightly, i dunno. But when I use my dog it does count toward the next streak for me. it could also depend on the streak itself that ur using, but I am not entirely sure. I know I didn't really answer ur question, but I thought my input may help.

I'm pretty sure that all the assault streaks count towards your killstreaks (minus the KEM). I have seen on one of the loading screens that anything earned in a care package does not count.

It has to be in the same life, If you die then your sentry gun kills (or any Assault streak kills you have active) will not count towards your streak points.

Some guy just made a post asking what to do if he gets Dengue in Cambodia but for some reason it was deleted while I was replying. I don't feel like wasting my reply so here it is.
Wear long pants, long shirts and use mosquito spray if you are noticing mosquitos. Pay attention and ask if Dengue is epidemic at the moment and if it is be extra cautious on avoiding mosquitos. If they say it is safe at the moment still exercise caution as it is always possible.
If you come down with a high fever get to a hospital to have it checked out. The best hospital in Cambodia(and the only one that I know of being any good) is Siem Reap's Royal Angkor International Hospital. From a report I saw it isn't that cheap so make sure you have travellers insurance. If you have a high fever and haven't been to a hospital yet don't take ibuprofen or aspirin as these increase your risk of serious complications(due to thinning your blood). Paracetamol(acetominophen)/tylenol is a better choice.
If diagnosed with Dengue find a good guesthouse to stay at and plan to be there for close to a week in order to recover. You will be very tired and sore for a few days and won't feel like doing much other then sleeping. You will get a rash at some point that will drive you nuts but it is a good sign as it means you are getting better.
I had Dengue while in Laos and honestly it sucks but I knew right away I had either Dengue or Malaria as I had never had a fever that high before. Had crazy high fever for 2 days, tired and achy for another 3-4 days after that. My first symptoms hit in Muang Ngoi which was 2 full days travel to a decent hospital(Vientiane), not fun at all with a 40 degree fever... At least in Cambodia you are always at most only a day's travel from Siem Reap.

@Geer1 - the author reported their post twice -- so I deleted it -- assumedly right around when you were answering. I don't know why they flagged it. Some people do it occasionally.
Thanks for the answer anyways.

I went here with my friend as I had a Living Social voucher that was about to run out! For starter I got a spicy prawn dish with watermelon and my friend got potato cakes. I was pleasantly shocked when I saw these massive prawns which also tasted amazing appear! For the main my friend who being a vegetarian ordered a cottage cheese dish which she thought was lovely! Being a meat eater myself I went for the house meat special which meant I got 4 different ramekins of different curries with lamb, beef, prawns and chicken. It was delicious! The staff were also very friendly keeping our water topped up throughout as well as our wine glasses. Being on a voucher all we had to pay for was our extra wine but I would definitely go back to eat there at full price as the food and the atmosphere were both great!

1st time here last Fri evening. Layout of restaurant really nice - plenty of space between tables and staff friendly and efficient. Food divine - nicest Indian I've ever had. Poppadoms served on arrival with lovely sauces - really crispy and fresh as they should be. Opted for selection starter - king prawn, potato cake, tiny minced lamb kebab & piece of chicken tikka - all delicious & served with individual sauce. Main prawn dish had at least 8 jumbo prawns. My friend's chicken tikka on the bone was beautifully presented and full of flavour. The place was packed - not surprised - I'll definitely be back.

We enjoyed our dinner here last night redeeming our voucher, and really enjoyed our visit. The decoration of the restaurant was very nice, and airy, meaning the tables are not "piled up over each other". We did not use the bar services, but it sure looked very inviting, as well. Then to the best part of the visit: excellent food. I had a platter, which had prawn, lamb, chicken and vegetarian teaser, and everything was delicious. My wife had prawns, and that was a set of three huge juicy, flavoursome prawns. As mains we had seabass and lamb, and both were some best Indian dishes we have ever had. As side dish, we had long rolled up pancake-thin bread called dosa, which was absolutely delicious! Friendly, attentive staff, excellent food, and very pleasant atmosphere. We can strongly recommend Dakshin to anyone.

I enjoyed my dinner here last night so much I just had to write a review straight away. I didn't know what to expect going up the stairs above Kielys in Donnybrook, but was pleasantly surprised by the airy, tastefully decorated restaurant, with a trendy looking bar area. The big winner here is the food. I had a tandoori prawn dish to start with four huge juicy, flavoursome prawns. The main course was one of the best Indian dishes I've ever had. I was presented with a plate of rice and a piece of chicken. Confused, I wondered if I'd ordered the wrong thing. Then a long dish with four separate bowels arrived. The four dishes, with different sauces, which I didn't catch the name of, were chicken, lentils, prawns and lamb. My favourite part was the long rolled up pancake-thin bread called dosa. The waiter explained that this is a traditional bread made of rice and lentils that is eaten every day in India. Absolutely delicious! Friendly, interesting staff, a pleasant atmosphere (only lacking a few more customers) and really excellent food - I can't wait to go back.

This is one of my favourite restaurants. I have eaten here numerous times and have never been dissapointed. The menu is great, every dish is lovely, great atmosphere and the toilets are lovely. The location is good, there is a car park nearby, but it is upstairs above a pub so it can be hard to find. Try early bird two course for 18 euro. Well Worth a visit. I would reccomend it to everyone.

Very ordinary, Nothing too exciting. Dining room looks nice, Decor is calm, Wall hangings a bit out of place and not to mention the smell of chips and vinegar at the stairs..little off-putting. We ordered our food and was looking forward to it. Kurkure murgh was Overdone Chicken Pakoras, Potato cakes were nice, beetroot kachdi was good but i thought it was served with chicken starter but was with potato cakes. We ordered few sides and asked if black lentils were on the menu today, waitress advised she will check and let us know but she never returned. Food tasted ordinary, Lentils were nice and Madrasi Aloo lacked a bit of madrasiness as they were laced in tomatoes. Our chilli naan arrived when we have finished our mains but we did get a rice which we never ordered. Our water was topped up more times than wine. Chef sent a Dosa as compliments to taste but it was too late as we had finished our mains but Thank You Very Much for the gesture. For us Daksin did lack a lot of excitement and flair. menu prices seemed reasonable enough though. Disappointed but will try it sometime again in future

Staff were friendly on arrival and we were given a nice table by the window. We shared a mixed platter between 3 people and were treated to the nicest,softest prawns to ever pass my lips! I had the Biryani which was possibly the best of my life,very generous portion,spiced to perfection and served with a delicious sauce. We were given a complimentary drink after our meal which was thoughtful...In conclusion great food,great service and great surroundings. Will defo be back.

Never go to Dakshin peckish. You need to be ravenous! Not because it's bad but because it's incredibly rich and plentiful. I wasn't blown away by my mates scallops (a little on the rubbery side) but wow were my prawns a sight to behold! Beautifully butterflied and spiced with smatterings of watermelon and mango. I opted for the dosa for main - a hankering I'd had since my last visit to Nepal. I could have fed my family on this course! Aside from a massive (slightly oily) dosa (crispy crepe made with ground rice and lentils) there was rice, chicken masala, bengali prawn curry, lamb madras and spiced lentils. It killed me that I couldn't finish it...

I visited Dakshin on Valentine night. It turned out to have the high standards of food and service I would have expected given the people involved in starting up the operation. Anyhow, nice freshly made popadoms with three dips to settle in, followed by a tasty battered prawn on a roundy blini like thing, with bits on, as an amuse bouche. Beef pepper fry for me was good - sticky and mildly tangy - but not a patch on my Valentine's prawn starter which really is a have-to-have. Lamb shank was a good main, but being covered in sauce, I was in fear throughout the meal of putting something objectionable in my mouth, which, with care, I managed to avoid doing. Good sauce and a lean meaty shank. Sea Bass was probably the winner of main courses, a little more subtle and refined. We were going to order Naan but were told it would be too much, he (the owner) would get us another lighter bread instead. This turned out to be a huge sort of rolled up semi crunchy pancake which was nice on its own or for sauce dipping. I'm not sure if we got this as guinea pigs or because he recognised us from his previous life (which he did), but it wasn't on the menu. Probably a bit of both. A nice touch anyhow. Looking at google now I think it might be dosai, we were told at the time but I wasn't listening. Worth asking for if you visit, if only to encourage them to put it on the menu. Wine wise we had a lovely Gavia di gavi which I thought was notably nice, whether it is a case of being generously priced or well chosen, I don't know, but I enjoyed it.

A complimentary pre-starter cocktail and off we launched into a delightful taste experience. The Dakshin Platter is a great way to enjoy the variety offered on the starter menu (But OH the Chicken 65!!) and the Nariyal erichi varuval (Lamb) , Nadaan beef, Seabass and Alleppey prawn curry were each delicious in the extreme.

Had a stunning meal in Dakshin over Christmas. Although only opened in December, we knew we were in for something special when we were greeted by its owner. A wonderful departure from the norm in that it specialises in Southern Indian cuisine. The food was just amazing and was complimented by an excellent wine list that isn't "off the shelf". Top quality, attentive service completed the perfect package. This is fine dining Indian style at its best.

Tunisia security forces warn of terror threats
Violence in Tunisia has claimed the lives of two politicians and dozens of soldiers so far this year. Now security experts say that the militants involved in such attacks were actually trained in Libya, and have been fighting in Syria.The Southern border region between Tunisia and Libya is a closed military zone where the army is fighting against terrorists who were responsible for dozens of attacks which killed more than 20 soldiers and policemen since July 2013. The Unions of Police forces have declared that the armed militants joined training camps in Libya and have been fighting with foreign backed-insurgents in Syria Security forces warned against the return of Tunisian militants after fighting along with terrorist groups in Syria. Analysts believe that the government's proclaimed war on Terror will last for years because terrorist groups in the region are backed by foreign countries. Tunisian Interior Ministry says roughly 4-thousand Tunisians have been trained in Libya before joining the war on Syria. Dozens of these militants have been arrested since their return and for planning terror attacks on Tunisian soil. Experts say Libyan cities have become a safe haven for armed groups who represent a serious threat to Tunisia's national security.

ahaa I'm scared to death of finished projects too....guess we're scared of tarnishing good ideas
some things to pay attention to
-chicken scratch lines, as insecure as you are about your lines, fake it, try to render something in as few lines are possible instead of hesitantly making small lines that connect. you'll pay more attention and study better if you try to render things in fewer lines
-I see you're already using pen so now I'd suggest doing more with the pen but, instead of rushing things like your gestures, try to focus on forms and blocks of shapes, you're losing a lot of the form by just using stick gestures
look at this sketchbook, their gestures are amazing in terms of form and movement
-faces, focus on the planes to render more realistically, study bridgman or other anatomy books
you've got great rendering skills and you can get so far! keep it up

The Devaluation of the Vote: Legislative Apportionment and Inequality in South Carolina, 1890-1962
Simon, Bryant, South Carolina Historical Magazine
If power is not immmediately derived from the people in proportion to their numbers, we may make a paper confedercy, but that will be all.
-James Madison1
"THE AMERICAN CONCEPTION OF POLITICAL EQUALITY," United States Supreme Court Justice William O. Douglas asserted in 1963, "can mean only one thing-one person, one vote." The logical extension of the principle of one person, one vote, he elaborated, is the idea of one vote, one value of representation. In other words, citizenship must entail not only the right to vote but the right to have each and every vote counted as a full vote. A system of representation that does not do this devalues the vote; in effect, it puts a check on suffrage and distorts democracy.2
The fact that for many years each and every resident of South Carolina did not receive equal representation is by no means surprising. Citizenship and thus representation in the state was for centuries determined by race and sex. Women did not vote until after World War I. All but a few African Americans, except for a promising, but stormy, democratic moment during Reconstruction, were denied the right to vote until the middle of the 1960s. Far less familiar, however, is how South Carolina's political structure devalued the votes of the majority of the state's white citizens, all the while inflating the value of a significant minority.
South Carolina's system of political inequality was established by the state's 1890 constitution. Pushing aside the qualms of a skeptical electorate, lawmakers approved a new constitution, written under the guidance of the quasi-Populist "Pitchfork" Ben Tillman, that for the most part disenfranchised the state's black majority.3 At the same time, they reestablished the antebellum principle of universal white male suffrage. All white men over the age of twenty-one could vote as long as they had not been convicted of bigamy, adultery, or wife-beating-offenses associated in the minds of many whites exclusively with African Americans. Voters also had to pay a poll tax, but this levy applied only to the rather meaningless general election, not to the all-important Democractic Party primary. Until January 1, 1898, anyone who met these qualifications and could read or write any section of the Constitution, or could understand the Constitution when it was read to him, would be installed as a lifelong voter. After this date, an applicant had to have paid all taxes on property assessed at more than $300 or had to be able to read, write, or understand any section of the Constitution to the satisfaction of the registrar. Following the convention, Tillman acknowedged in a speech the obvious subterfuge of the understanding clause:
Some have said there is fraud in this understanding clause. Some poisons in small doses are very salutary and valuable medicines.... The [registration] officer is responsible to his conscience and his God; he is responsible to no one else.
There is no principle of fraud or illegality in it. It is just simply showing partiality perhaps (laughter) or discriminating. Ah, you grin.4
While the constitution and the understanding clause promoted nearly universal white male suffrage and insured a white monopoly on state power, it did not, as Tillman had promised, usher in an era of white democracy. On the contrary, it failed to guarantee that all white citizens of South Carolina would be represented equally, that one white man's vote was as valuable as another's. First, the constitution provided the popularly elected governor with minimal authority. Except for the veto, the state's chief executive could do little more than commute prison sentences and put a few of his supporters on the constabulary.5 Control over the budget, taxation, appropriations, and most appointments lay in the hands of the bicameral state legislature or General Assembly. Following another antebellum tradition, the new constitution also implemented a federal-style system of legislative apportionment. …

How To Record iHeartRadio & Elliot In The Morning
I have a confession to make, I can't remember the last time I listened to terrestrial radio. I've had satellite radio in my vehicles ever since Opie & Anthony joined XM, and have never had to listen to commercial in my car in nearly a decade.
My girlfriend however loves the morning radio show Elliot in the Morning out of Washington, DC. iHeartRadio used to be her saving grace as she would catch up on the previous day's show throughout her work day. But earlier this summer iHeartRadio decided they weren't going to broadcast Elliot's replays throughout the day and decided to only play his show live. So in my ongoing quest to keep my girlfriend happy I started to look for options on how to download the daily episodes of Elliot.
I stumbled upon the website DAR.fm and thought that this was going to be much easier than I had anticipated. Basically DAR has a collection of shows that you can search for, and records them for you allowing you to listen to them online, or download them to a moblie device of your choice for offline listening. The only problem is the mobile applications suck a bag of dicks. They constantly get stuck trying to download portions of a show (of which there are twenty 15 minute parts), entire shows don't show up in the mobile app, or it just freezes completely. So with all of the headaches of using a service I had no control over, it was time to engineer something that I could manage myself and verify that episodes were being downloaded.
Head on past the break to figure out what I ultimately came up with.

As someone who draws in his sketchbook every single day, it's incredibly satisfying when an opportunity presents itself to bring those doodles to life. A little over a year ago I drew up some geometric shapes, turned them into a vector pattern, and submitted them to Bucketfeet (along with many other artists) for consideration into their Spring 2015 collection.
Bucketfeet is a brand that makes beautifully illustrated artist designed canvas shoes. They support artists from around the world, and I'm thrilled to announce that they've selected my "Asteroids" design for their catalog. It's now available for sale on their website and comes in two versions: laces or slip-on. They've also been kind enough to extend an awesome 20% discount (for my shoes or any other pair in their shop) to all Doodlers Anonymous fans, just use discount code OKAT20 at checkout.
You can become an artist for them as well. They are always looking for the next cool design, just follow this link to join the Bucketfeet Artist Network and get the process started.

I love it when I click through the members of our community and discover someone's work that really catches my attention.
Like many of us, Marie Lemaistre finds inspiration in films, cartoons, the music in the streets, and in her dreams. Her take on drawing is to keep a spontaneous expression of ideas, emotions and imagination going, while simultaneously trying not to censor or hesitate along the way. It works wonders in her illustrations and is just the right philosophy for any doodler out there.

We've been obsessed with Léonard Combier's doodles ever since he first messaged us about his art and an image of an inked up passport blew our minds, so it's incredibly exciting to finally share these exclusive images with you!
Sometimes Doodle Addicts find themselves in a pinch where there's no paper in reach, and that's when those of us who are in too deep start reaching for anything nearby that could possibly work. Léonard Combier, a 24 year old French illustrator enjoying life in Berlin, was bored in class with no paper to doodle on. A friend of his had their passport in their pocket, so Combier asked them if he could draw something on it. Like a good friend, they were excited about the idea, passed their passport over to him, and let Combier run wild with it. Combier liked the result so much that he continued to reach for different people's passports.
Does doodling on your passport cause an issue at the airport? Apparently not. These are not expired passports, and the original owners went on to travel abroad with them even after they've been drawn on. Combier assured me that his friends have crossed many countries, including the US, with their inked-up passports. They say customs officers usually look closely at the drawings, thinking it's part of the printed design of the passport, before they realize it's hand drawnand they really like it!
When I asked the artist if it feels strange drawing on someone's passport, Combier said, "In a way it's better than drawing on a normal sheet of paper. All the little patterns that are already on the passport give more relief to my drawings. It's very funny to play with all the visas, the stamps, to write little messages that will be read by the custom officers, sometimes even a bit provocative. It's also very nice to know that the owner of the passport will have my drawing within reach for ten years, on an official document. A bit like a tattoo."
If you're in Berlin, own a valid passport and want a drawing, don't hesitate to send a message (and a Like) on Léonard Combier's Facebook page.

Now on to the good stuff. This year we highlighted hundreds of artists, projects and artworks (you can revisit the complete archive here). As a short recap, I'm featuring a few of the more popular and memorable ones below (click their titles to read further about each).

When you look at the work of street artist Millo, you'll quickly realize there's someone special watching over our city walls. His art is massive, but not in an intrusive way. He paints black lines, adding a hint of color only when needed, and his lines draw characters caught-up and interacting amongst the streets and buildings of our urban walls.
In 2014, he was awarded the opportunity to paint 13 large-scale walls in Turin, Italy, and each one of them is as beautiful as the next. Here's a peek to some of my favorites, but you should follow him on Instagram or his website for so much more.

A weather reporter from ABC News 4 was attempting to deliver his daily update on live TV when the computer that animates the forecast froze up. After a few minutes of small talk, the anchor team quickly doodled up a few weather icons and then throw them up onto the green screen behind him. It's a great example of improvising on live TV.

I'm very much enjoying the drawings of Jason Hernandez, especially the ones themed around space travel. I love the narrative, it's as if I'm traveling between stars. The drawings generally consist of black ink on yellow paper with accents of gold paint, and the attention to detail in each image is just right. Buckle up and enjoy the cosmos.

The road to Lennox and Chloris' happily ever after is a bumpy one with some wrong turns, but the result is worth the trip. The Scottish setting provides a mystical atmosphere that draws the reader into the story, and titillating love scenes add plenty of excitement.
Lennox Taskill is the leader of a small coven that lives in constant fear of Tamhas Keavey, a powerful landowner and town council member. When Chloris Keavey comes to Lennox for a remedy for her inability to conceive, she falls under his spell and they begin a clandestine relationship. Then, Tamhas conspires against Lennox by branding him a witch and also attempts to claim Chloris for his bed. Chloris and Lennox's house of cards tumbles, and a real witch hunt begins.

Iranians hold food festival in Turkey
The Iranian community in Turkey numbers in the hundreds of thousands. At the invitation of the Islamic Republic's Consulate General, the first Iranian Food Festival has been held there to celebrate Iran's culinary heritage.Iranian cuisine has influenced and been influenced by the nation's neighbors. Not just across Western Asia but also into Central Asia and much of the Indian sub-continent. The cuisine of Turkey has been heavily influenced by that of Iran, due to geographical proximity, and also due to the two countries' cultural commonalities.ow the first-ever Iranian Food Festival in Turkey has been held in Istanbul.The cuisine of Iran is diverse, with each province featuring dishes, culinary traditions, and styles native to their regions. And this festival had representative dishes from all four corners of Iran, including this correspondent's favorite, Ghalieh Mahi, from the southern Province of Khuzestan, as well as classics such as Ghormeh Sabzi, Gheimeh, and Khoresht-e Fesenjan, and different rice dishes such as loobia polo, sabzi polo, and zereshk polo and desserts like Sho'le Zard. This first Iranian Food Festival, organized by the Iranian diplomatic mission in Istanbul was an opportunity for members of the Iranian community to showcase their culinary talents and Iranian culture and its hospitality to people in Turkey.

I'm jealous of my son's attachment to his fathers girlfriend!!!
Depending on your custody split your DS step mom may be just as big of a part of your DS life as you are. She may be a primary caretaker but you will always be DS mom.
My DH has primary custody of my DSS. I am his primary caretaker. I put him to bed each night. Kiss his boo boos. Comfort him when he's sick. But he still knows that BM is his mom even if he only sees her EOWE.

OP what is really at the core of this is you are actually insecure about your own parenting. It has nothing to do with this gf. Having her in his life just exaggerates your own internal insecurties which are creating a competition between the two of you which doesn't exist. Moms seem to suffer more from this than dads that is why mommy wars are so prevalent.
You can change your mindset on this. Really ask yourself how loving another women in a mom like way would diminish what he feels for you? Has loving more than one person diminished your love for one of them. If you had two kids would you love one of them less because you already had one? It is the same concept if you can love two people without love for either of them being diminished than why do you think your son isn't capable of the same? Do you not trust your son or your relationship with him?
You need to not focus on gf and focus on what is really bothering you. Focus on being the best mom you can be. Stop feeling guilty it isn't productive. Self reflection and asking yourself some hard questions will get you the information you need about yourself to be able to work on this which will be a huge benefit to you.

On Sept. 6, Las Vegas citizens were rocking to the beat of the first annual Ain't Got No Frijoles Blues Festival at King Stadium, right behind Camp Luna.
I've had mixed feelings about President Lyndon Johnson for the last 44 years. He contributed much to the welfare of American citizens but at the same time, he held responsibility for so many wasted lives in the rice paddies of Vietnam.
I sense an increasing anxiety about the future of our country and thus offer the following modest proposals for improvement. Call it a baker's dozen for a better America:
1. Shut down all coal burning power plants by 2015, replacing them with solar, wind and conservation. Natural gas (expensive in the short-term) can ease our transition, but the fossil fuel burns have got to go. It's either that or the polar ice caps. (And we need others to help: China, India, etc.)
thumb UP to ... HEALTHY TENSION. Las Vegas Mayor Tony Marquez, who for months has not returned our messages, responded to an e-mail about an open-government issue recently. We hope this is the beginning of a new approach to dealing with us "inky wretches."
The mayor has become something of a mystery man since he stopped communicating with the Optic last March (other than at City Council meetings, where it's harder to avoid us). This has on occasion left the newspaper and its thousands of local subscribers in the dark about the goings-on in city government.
In reading this week's column, you might get the impression the poofreader is on vacation. That's a common enough assumption but a rare occurrence. But look carefully. Your job is to figure out that we mean by these cryptic titles to books, movies, plays and TV programs.
But be warned: Some of the puns and plays on words are atrocious; there's bilinguality, far-fetchedness and even a few titles made to fit the local scene. Most titles involve changing a single letter; occasionally, you may need to make two changes or even divide a word.
Last week, the San Miguel County Commission had to decide whether to abandon one mile of a county road in the Ribera area.
The petitioners were a family that had owned the road for generations, but it ended up on the county road log in the early 1980s. They said that keeping the road open to the public has led to trespassers vandalizing, rockhounding and creating disturbances on their property. They said their father never meant for the road to be public.
If Las Vegas attorney Dave Romero had lived in the late 1700s, he likely would have been a follower of Alexander Hamilton, who supported a strong executive and central government.
By the same token, Las Vegas' Charter Commission would likely have fallen behind Thomas Jefferson, who advocated the spreading of power.
A couple of weeks ago, Romero criticized the work of the commission, a city-appointed panel charged with drafting a new charter, which is essentially the city's constitution. The current charter is nearly 40 years old.
Two weeks ago, Las Vegas City Attorney Carlos Quiñones declared that the release of city e-mails to the Optic was a "breach of confidentiality."
These were the same e-mails that the state attorney general had already deemed to be public record. And the same ones that Mayor Tony Marquez himself already released, prompted by the AG's legal opinion.
But Quiñones is defying logic. He asked the mayor and the City Council in a confidential memo about what the city should do about this "breach."
