B. Comments by the President.
With regard to budgetary matters, President Powers said both houses in the Texas Legislature had proposed budgets with substantial cuts in general revenue that will negatively impact UT Austin and all of Texas public higher education institutions. He said the Senate bill provides a 10 percent reduction and the House bill provides a 15 percent reduction. He perceived that the mood in the Senate was more optimistic than that in the House, with work in the Senate underway to try to come up with a reduction in general revenue in the mid-single digits. He said administrators at all levels here at UT Austin are working very hard on their five-year plans to accommodate expected reductions. President Powers called the expected cuts in general revenue manageable but painful because he said they would cause significant challenges to departments across campus. He said the final budget allocations would undergo a great deal of horse-trading in the conference committee negotiations and were difficult to predict because of the levels of need in health and human services and other areas. During the legislative session, he said budgetary matters would remain the top priority for him and many other people at UT.
President Powers said he appreciated the recent discussions and input from members of the Faculty Council Executive Committee (FCEC) regarding the problems facing UT Austin and higher education. Similar discussion had also occurred at the joint meeting of the UT Faculty Council and Texas A&M Faculty Senate. He said he knew other faculty members were aware of the antagonistic and skeptical viewpoints being expressed about the value of higher education and the need for providing undergraduate degrees costing no more than $10,000 by producing more Chevrolet-like rather than Cadillac-like degrees. He said another troubling issue pertained to the value of research performed at research institutions. The debate in this case focused on the idea that it could be useful to separate the budgets for teaching and research, with the possible de-emphasis on research eventually occurring. President Powers said pressure on higher education regarding productivity was the reason Texas A&M initiated a procedure whereby individual faculty members were evaluated with their salary and costs compared directly to the benefits they produced as measured by the number of student credit-hours and value of commercializable research generated. He said that method totally devalued probably 98 percent of the research because it is not commercializable. As a result the American Association of Universities wrote a letter to the chancellor of Texas A&M saying this evaluation process was inconsistent with the core mission of a major research university where teaching and research are integral to one another.
President Powers said this critique of the role and mission of a major research university, such as UT Austin, was more significant than the budgetary crisis currently facing higher education in that it went far beyond saying the institution was inefficient or not managing its finances well. He said these criticisms attacked the core mission of what a major research university is and exists to do. In this case, those seeking change are saying the research being performed in not valuable and doesn't count as an asset. As a result, President Powers said the development board and alumni are outraged and are mobilizing to help strongly counter this attack, and he said we have allies in the legislature who are speaking up in our support. As a result, President Powers said some of the statements of the opposition and those within media presentations are backing away from their original positions and saying they did not mean UT Austin is or should be a "Chevy." He added, "There are a lot of people out there who are energized and going to go to battle for us." President Powers said our supporters are gaining traction and have had "some positive effects, at least in the rhetoric that's been used over the last week or so." He said that Professor Carrington had asked at the joint meeting why the situation was being perceived differently this time. President Powers said the reason this is such a serious situation is that the critiques are directed at our basic core values, and they are coming from within the institution and even from friends of UT. He said all levels of the University are working on this situation together, and the Faculty Council and faculty in general can help in rallying support to protect our core mission. He closed by saying he would be remiss if he did not discuss the significance of this matter with the Faculty Council because at present "there is nothing more important than this." Council members applauded President Powers' remarks.

Hey there,
here is a rough translation of my suggestion in the german Forum:
Thanks for reading, I hope i did not make too many mistakes in the translation. :-)
here is a rough translation of my suggestion in the german Forum:
Greetings everyone,
I have now reached a point where certain encounters in LFR do not have any upgrade for my DPS Set but they have some items which I could use for my tank spec. This creates a problem and so far I just see 3 possible solutions:
1.) I queue as tank - downside: My tankgear is worse than my DD set. I would be of more help for the group playing as DD. In addition, I would lose possible DD item upgrades.
2.) I queue as DD and switch to tanksspec for certain encounters. - downside: My damage is way lower this way and I am not a big help for the group. I also risk to be votekicked.
3.) I queue as DD and just vendor all the useless drops until I need no item from any boss. Then I queue as tank. Downside: This is very frustrating and will take some time. And my tankgear is still worse than my DPS set.
My Suggestion would be, that one can choose the prefered lootspec regardless of my role in LFR. (compared to the Filter at the vendors)
This way everyone can bring their most powerfull gear and gear up the other specs. No tricks needed which would be of disadvantage for the group. Even if, for example, your healerset ist extremely powerful and no upgrade is needed from LFR, you can still queue as a healer and build up your second or third set.
As the loot is individual anyway there is no risk to steal loot from the other payers.
What do you think about that?
If you agree, please leave a small comment below so that this threat grows and will be acknowledged by the community team.
Thanks for reading, I hope i did not make too many mistakes in the translation. :-)

Here's a fairly recent one:
Two Chip Ganassi cars coming into contact as Charlie Kimball (cyan-coloured car) shoves team leader and championship contender Scott Dixon (red car) off into retirement.16th May 2016, 20:35 at 8:35 pm #320066
Shameful decision. How are drivers going to learn that moves like that are simply not right without getting some sort of punishment? Many will draw comparison to the Hamilton/Rosberg clash but if anything, this one is more similar to the crash caused by Alfonso Celis at Hungary in the Formula 3.5 V8 not too long ago.5th April 2016, 8:23 at 8:23 am #317067
Here is the first update, and it is a positive one!2nd April 2016, 12:52 at 12:52 pm #316531
I'm only going on drivers who were withdrawn before the race in the case of a DNS here:
Vettel missed the '07 French, British and European GPs between his BMW and STR stints.
Massa missed the '02 US GP (suspension(?)). He also missed eight races in '09 (injury). He was replaced by Frentzen, Badoer and Fisichella.
Bottas missed the '15 Australian GP (injury).
Perez missed the '11 Monaco and Canadian GPs (injury). He was replaced by de la Rosa.
Ericsson missed the final three races of the 2014 season after leaving Caterham. He was replaced by Will Stevens.
Alonso missed the '15 Australian GP (injury) and is set to miss the '16 Bahrain GP (injury). He was/will be replaced by Magnussen and Vandoorne.
Button missed the '03 Monaco GP (injury) and the '05 Spanish and Monaco GP (team suspended).
Grosjean missed the '12 Italian GP (suspension). He was replaced by d'Ambrosio.23rd February 2016, 15:39 at 3:39 pm #312901
F1's loss is certainly IndyCar's gain here.11th February 2016, 12:20 at 12:20 pm #312243
I've firmly moved over onto the whole "PC master race" thing, so I simply no longer play Gran Turismo.
Games such as rFactor (and games which are effectively rFactor mods such as Stock Car Extreme) and Assetto Corsa have so many brilliant mods that it provides almost endless fun. The latter especially is perfect for just driving around at speed in, around a beautiful Monza or somewhere like that.
I'm yet to get iRacing, but it sounds as if I should.
As for something a touch more on the fun side, Next Car Game: Wreckfest is also pretty good, despite being in alpha still.1st February 2016, 14:10 at 2:10 pm #312024
Surprising choice for Ganassi really, but Chilton's year in Lights has well and truly paid off. Being team mate to the likes of Kanaan and Dixon is really not going to be easy but he will learn a lot from then (as well as Dario Franchitti). Has to be in with a shout of ROTY honours.18th January 2016, 12:10 at 12:10 pm #311597
The Newman/Haas team dominated the end of the Champ Car era. Five championships in six years and four on the bounce for Sebastien Bourdais before the series merged with the Indy Racing League to become the IndyCar series we know today. Had the series not split, with the now-late Justin Wilson onboard replacing Bourdais, it would have been likely that sort of form could well have continued.6th January 2016, 11:58 at 11:58 am #311123
Some superb drivers there. No indication on who will be paired with who or who will be the third driver for Le Mans however.
Ford are also hoping to take four cars to Le Mans. Four! That is simply fantastic.1st January 2016, 19:54 at 7:54 pm #310947
A 'thumbs up' or just generally some sort of like button within comments would be great I think. Stops the '+1' comments and stuff like that. It would probably reduce the amount of comments but it would (in theory) increase the quality of the comments.
Also I'm just lazy and I can't be bothered to reply with 'I agree' to everything I agree with. ;)24th December 2015, 11:54 at 11:54 am #310784
The USA could do so much better than Rossi alongside Hunter-Reay with Speed in reserve, especially based on current IndyCar form. A Newgarden/Rahal pairing with Rossi in reserve would probably be better.10th November 2015, 14:38 at 2:38 pm #308687
I remember Hamilton pulling a stunning pass on Rosberg at Australia one year. 2011 perhaps?28th October 2015, 10:20 at 10:20 am #307911
@keisalex Hopefully a total of zero of them.
As for the calendar, it is very sad to see Fontana and Milwaukee go, especially after the races it produced this year. However I simply don't think that Fontana could have got that season-ending slot that it wanted. Interestingly enough there's no clash with Le Mans, which might play into the hands of a particular Penske driver who has a test with Porsche later this year. I couldn't care less about NOLA. It didn't seem that great wet or dry.
I'm very excited to see Road America and Phoenix on the calendar, and nobody knows what Boston will produce. I do like the variation in the circuits visited. We have 15 very different tracks being used next year, and not a Tilkedrome in sight.
In my ideal world, we would have 20 races, five on road courses, street courses, short ovals and big ovals, spread across a season between March and October. We don't quite have that, but at least it's less compact than last year.19th October 2015, 20:29 at 8:29 pm #307241
Apologies @keithcollantine I shall bear that in mind!
Also how could I forget the Bathurst 12 Hours? What a phenomenal finish that was @xtwl19th October 2015, 13:01 at 1:01 pm #307224
There's so many contenders for this, and zero of them are Formula One. Says a lot really.
I will start with both the 4 Hours of Silverstone and the 6 Hours of Silverstone. The ELMS race there went down to pretty much the final lap, with three cars in contention with half an hour to go. Likewise with the WEC race a day later, after a late penalty to the number seven Audi really set things up quite nicely. There was also a truly epic battle up front between Audi #7 and Porsche #18.
(cannot find highlights for the 4 Hour race)
Secondly, I will put forward both the Buenos Aires and Miami ePrixs. The former saw an epic race of attrition which affected both Seb Buemi and Lucas di Grassi, whilst Miami produced an unexpected near-win for Scott Speed.
IndyCar had a very controversial MAVTV 500 this year, but it did produce 80 changes for the lead and an incredible number of overtakes. I would also stick the Pocono 500 here, but it does not seem right to. However Toronto was also a cracker. (I feel these highlights don't do justice though)
The Formula Renault 3.5 race at Monaco was pretty good. Mostly made by Oliver Rowland being totally awesome and producing more overtakes around Monaco than I've ever seen before.
The British Touring Car Championship title finale was absolutely brilliant too. Gordon Shedden worked his way up from 19th to steal the title from Jason Plato.
(No highlights yet)
If two wheels are allowed, most of the Moto 3 and some of the MotoGP races would also be serious contenders here.
I think however that the MAVTV 500 wins it for me. Controversial, yes, but exciting, certainly.

Just a friendly warning to everyone:
My co-workers and I just got back from a lunch at Buffalo Wild Wings, where we ordered every sauce that they had on the menu and proceeded to have at least one of each sauce in order from Mild to Blazin.
Never, ever do this.
ha ha, sissy. just kidding. I love hot wings mmmmmmmm
I love that place!! We usually go every Tuesday, 35 cent wings!!
On a side note..
(SEE AS: other things to not do)
Do not stick hot pokers in your eyes
You and your co-workers are insane. Did you sign the waiver on the hottest sauce? Did you get to the hottest sauce?
I love em too, but something about the Parmesan Garlic mixed with the Carribean Jerk and Blazin sauce just messes you up.
On a side note, the Mango Habenero is awesome.
We went to Buffalo Wild Wings on a Wednesday night, and Ben Ulin (of "Fox Kids Club" fame in the very early '90's) was traveling from table to table doing magic tricks. It was sweet - nothing like having greasy hands while someone is pulling a quarter out from behind your ear.

Yeah, we got to the hottest sauce, but to be honest by that point our taste buds weren't feelin too much. Its more the turning stomach that's tough to handle and you forget about your mouth being on fire.
Yeah, I felt like my insides were getting torn out when I ordered the hottest sauce at Wings To Go last year for the Super Bowl. I stick to the "hot" now.
My friend always gets 6 Blazin and its so funny to watch him sweat or cry when he eats them!!!
Colorado, what do you think of Buffalo Wild Wings? I live very close to one here in Greeley. It opened a couple years back. I was really excited when it first opened but I think they are a little full of themselves. Everything on their menu is overpriced and all A la Carte (except lunch specials). They don't use plates or silverware. They have very little on the menu that requires prep time and they have no clean up time since everything is throw away. It seems they would have low overhead. Yet, they charge $6.50 for a sandwich that doesn't come with Fries unless you pay another $2.50. They have great wings. I do like the boneless and their sauces rule. But, come on. I drop $15 everytime I walk into that place not including beer.
Sorry for the rant.
ISU Grad 1997.
ISU Fan for Life.
Not in CO anymore but I'm not changing my name :)
I agree totally with you. I go to the one here in Vegas all the time but it feels like I spent too much money everytime I leave...good food but not enough bang for your buck.
I know you didn't ask me what i thought, but I only go there for the wings and the atmosphere. I wouldn't consider it fine dining or a great place for a meal, just awesome wings!
If I want to go to a sports bar in Greeley and get some better food for the price, I go to Jackson's All Sports.
However, if I need a wings fix and sports, I cave and go to BWW.

I guess I don't want it to be fine dining either. But they are a small step above fast-food but they charge as much for a meal as Texas Roadhouse or Apple-bees with way less over head.
But, no doubt, great wings and that is why I go back. Hot BBQ is my favorite. I haven't done Blazin before.
I agree with all of that. We go on 35 cent wing tuesday, and then it's not so bad. I do like the wings, but they're not the best. Tommy Knockers in Idaho Springs has the best chicken wings, but they're not cheap either.

While at the IRWD 2013 web design and usability conference in Orlando, I was able to sit in on a lecture given by Joan King and Dan Siroker. Joan King is the E-Commerce Director, Site Management at Crate & Barrel. I absolutely love the cleanliness of Crate & Barrel's website and referred to their old navigation system in my own design projects, so I was excited to hear how the website design had become so successful.
The answer was in A/B and multivariate tests which is when an element on your website appears different to different viewers. Analytics are run on the changing variable to see which design creates more conversions. Joan King mentioned several elements that had undergone testing: simple changes in wording such as "add to cart" versus "buy," or a check out button that was tested red, green, and black, and even the navigation system that I loved so much has undergone testing and it turns out a more traditional drop-down navigation was better. I was surprised when she mentioned conversion rates increasing by 20% due to simple changes in wording or color. Her advice to the audience was to always be testing, but do not test anything you would not want your audience to see live on your site. Also, less is more—when choices were reduced conversions generally went up and bounce rates generally came down. (That explains Crate & Barrel's clean website!)
Dan Siroker, a previous Google employee who founded Optimizely, expanded on Mrs. King's advice by saying a test should run for about two weeks in order to get well rounded data. Siroker explained the simplicity of Optimizely, which is how testing can be done without coding. Optimizely basically shows your website as individual elements and allows you to change those elements for testing. Changes are made through Optimizely, so your original website is safe. Optimizely is a service I will likely use in the future to improve my web design and usability.
I know it is odd, but whenever I go to Crate & Barrel's website I end up looking at dinnerware. I love to look at the graphics on plates and mugs, so check out the slide show for some pretty plates. If you would like to see artwork inspiring my Examiner articles visit my Pinterest board.

Lewis and Clark Boat House and Nature CenterRead MoreIn the pantheon of American explorers, there are few names as revered as Lewis and Clark. After securing the Louisiana Purchase in 1803, President Thomas Jefferson needed someone to map out the newly doubled national borders. The two U.S. Army officers were the men for the job. They set out into the great unknown in May of 1804, and except for the one Cracker Barrel they stopped at mid-journey, St. Charles was the last familiar piece of America they knew until their return trip in 1806. As a testament to their momentous voyage, the Lewis & Clark Boat House & Nature Center houses full-scale replicas of the explorers' boats, half-scale 18th and 19th century buildings, and displays about the Native Americans that Lewis and Clark met along the way. Outside its walls, the museum also gives visitors a glimpse into the ecosystems that the pair explored. Visitors can walk on trails through the woods and wetlands to find herons, deer, and indigenous plants.1050 S Riverside Dr.Saint Charles, MO US
Art Glass ArrayRead MoreInside Art Glass Array's warm studio, beginners learn basic processes and techniques to cut and melt glass, creating a spread of unique items, including platters, bowls, and wall hangings. Classes in wire-wrapping and dichroic block layering teach skills that can yield beautiful pendants, and advanced classes let students take their craft to the next level by creating matching sets of dishes or sandblasting glass. Students can display their works at the studio's gallery, which saves refrigerators the burden of having bowls and pendants hot-glued to their doors.501 N Kingshighway StSaint Charles, MO US
The Painted PotRead MoreAfter a decade getting her hands dirty with clay, artist Donna Schreiter swung open the doors of The Painted Pot in 2001, determined to bring the art of ceramic creation to all ages and skill levels. Inside the open studio, adults, kids, and families dabble raw bisques with glaze-soaked sponges, assemble mosaic works, and shape wet clay on spinning wheels. Kids' classes guide little hands to shape and paint their own pieces, and grown-ups-only evenings throw in margaritas for sipping and instructions for weaving baskets out of old utilities bills.3772 Monticello PlzSaint Charles, MO US
My HandyworksRead MoreAt My Handyworks, the team specializes in turning handprints into art. They can transform a set of acrylic-paint handprints and footprints on a tile into a custom painting, perhaps of a duck, or dyed wax molds of hands into keepsake statuettes. Their art classes, meanwhile, cover a wide variety of skills, teaching kids to decorate pumpkins and adults to recreate masterpieces by Monet and Van Gogh.205 S Main St.Saint Charles, MO US
Collectors Centre TooRead MoreYou'll be astonished by the diverse selection of souvenirs and memorabilia at Collectors Centre Too in Saint Charles. Who doesn't love a gift basket? Pick one up today.

So I could've married my cousin, Marc, when I was 13 in Tennessee and we could now be 35 years into Ohio-based bliss but, so far, I cannot marry my partner anywhere else and legally leave her any of my crap in Ohio? SMH. And this is what the Obergefell/Arthur family is upset about.

Did I Just See a Gay Kindle Commercial?
Last night around 9:30 I was just minding my own business, watching some harmless comedy shows on demand when a commercial came on that piqued my interest via a typically dumb interaction between a dude talking to a babe in a bikini. I was waiting for some type of cliché to end the interaction between the two — something like a beer-commercial crotch shot or the woman doing something weird like licking an ice cube — when the story took a most-surprising turn: the dude in the scene was gay. The woman sits down on a beach chair next to the guy, who is squinting into his iPad-looking device like a dork. She starts reading her Kindle like the sun is no big deal and he says: "That's a Kindle, right?" Woman: "Yeah, it's the new Kindle Paperwhite." Man: "I love to read at the beach, but..." Woman: "This is perfect at the beach. And, with the built in light, I can read anywhere anytime." Man: "Done." Woman: "With your book?" Man: Nope. "I just bought a Kindle Paperwhite." *Leans toward her.* "We should celebrate." Woman: "My husband's bringing me a drink right now." Man: "So is mine." Husbands waive from the bar. I watched it again this morning (the email I sent myself on the subject after having several beers and talking about sports all evening only says: "Gay kindle commercial. What does that commercial mean?"), and it's actually pretty genius. Gay-rights groups have pointed out that this type of media is following steps taken by shows like Ellen and Modern Family, which depict gay couples as pretty much ordinary anymore. Check it out here: Naturally, some people on the Internet think it's way icky. And organizations like One Million Moms (a weird, conservative Christian group that should be named something more like "One Million Mean Moms." Ha.) took exception to it. OMMMs wrote this: "We have Amazon's Kindle Paperwhite commercial that promotes gay marriage. Instead of Amazon remaining neutral in the culture war while showcasing how their product has no glare even at the beach, they chose to promote sin." People flagged the ad as inappropriate enough times on YouTube that it was briefly taken down for review, but it was posted back on the site later.

Morning News and Stuff
In desperate need to bolster his low popularity numbers, Gov. John Kasich visited Cincinnati Tuesday to praise a deal that allows a local company to expand downtown and add jobs. Dunnhumby USA, a retail branding firm, will move from Third Street to a long vacant site at Fifth and Race streets, where it will build a new complex and add 550 jobs. Dunnhumby is getting the maximum 15 years of state Job Creation tax credits to help with the move.The head of faculty at Xavier University is questioning the college president's abrupt, unilateral decision to stop offering birth control coverage in insurance for faculty and staff. Shannon Byrne, faculty committee chair, says President Michael J. Graham's announcement Monday might violate XU's own rules about how such decisions can be made. She is scheduling a meeting April 12 so faculty can discuss the situation and decide how to respond.ARTIMIS signs are supposed to alert motorists to traffic congestion and missing persons, but area residents have said they've noticed a lot of them don't work. As a result, transportation officials say 29 malfunctioning ARTIMIS signs will be replaced as part of upcoming construction projects on Interstates 471 and 275. All of the upgrades will be completed by July.A Waynesville High School student is suing the school district for preventing him from wearing a T-shirt to class that depicted a pro-gay message. Maverick Couch wants to wear the shirt, which states "Jesus is not a homophobe," to school on April 20 to show support for the Day of Silence, a national event that draws attention to the silencing of gay and lesbian students through bullying. School officials, however, initially told Couch the shirt was disruptive and later that it was too religious. Now they allege it violates rules prohibiting clothing that is "sexual in nature," which Couch's attorney said is "absurd."Yahoo! Sports has released the rankings of Major League teams with the most players claimed in fantasy baseball leagues, and some Reds are among the sought-after stars. The Yankees and Rangers tied for the top spot as most popular on Yahoo!. Both teams have 13 players owned in at least 50 percent of Yahoo! Leagues. But the Reds also make a good showing, with seven players owned in at least 50 percent of the fantasy leagues. In news elsewhere, GOP presidential hopeful Mitt Romney left his rival, Rick Santorum, in the dust Tuesday. Romney won all three primaries that were held — in Wisconsin, Maryland and the District of Columbia — and emerged with substantial gains in delegates.Despite widespread opinion to the contrary, a private investigator alleges in a new book that O.J. Simpson didn't murder his ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, in 1994. Instead, William C. Dear said his inquiry revealed that O.J. was covering up for the real culprit: Jason Simpson, O.J.'s son from his first marriage. Dear said he discovered a knife in a storage unit that was rented by Jason that he believes is the murder weapon, along with a forged time card from the night of the killings. Dear alleges that Jason Simpson was working as a chef in a Beverly Hills restaurant that day and had put together a special meal for the family. Brown didn't attend, however, angering him. The P.I. said Jason was on probation for assaulting his previous employer with a knife and has spent time in a psychiatric unit.If you're an evangelical Christian, you might want to skip this next item. A new medical study finds that older adults who say they've had a life-changing religious experience — in other words, are "born again" — are more likely to have a greater decrease in size of the part of the brain critical to learning and memory. Researchers asked 268 people, ages 58 to 84, about their religious affiliation, spiritual practices and life-changing religious experiences. Over the course of two to eight years, changes to the hippocampus were monitored using MRI scans. The researchers suggested that stress over holding religious beliefs that fall outside of the mainstream may help explain the findings. Or they're just stupid.A major Chinese analyst said the senior leadership of the Chinese government increasingly views the competition between the United States and China as a zero-sum game, and believes the United States is a declining power that is trying to disrupt China's economic and military growth. Wang Jisi revealed his findings in a monograph published this week by the Brookings Institution in Washington, D.C.Hafiz Saeed, the leader of a Pakistan-based group blamed for the 2008 attacks on Mumbai, has demanded proof after the United States announced a $10 million bounty on his head. In an interview with Al Jazeera, Saeed said the U.S. action was prompted by his organizing rallies against the reopening of military supply lines through Pakistan to NATO forces in Afghanistan.

I live in a 3 story 3-family house. In the back hallway, we each have a light on our floor as well as a switch (one per floor) but any of the switches will turn on/off all three lights. They always all work together.
I want to install a motion detector switch on the first floor so that when someone comes in the back door to the house/hallway, the hallway (all three floors) will automatically light. But I don't want it to prevent the 2nd and third floor tenants from being able to turn on/off the lights when they enter the hallway from their existing units. Can this work?
- Forum >
- Electrical & Lighting >
- motion detector light
It will be easier to just ADD a motion detector triggered light, that will light up the back door and the hallway, enough so that the person entering has light until they get to the first-floor switch controlling the 3 floors of hall lights.
These existing lights are 3-way switches, so you would need a motion-detector that is also a 3-way switch. That is unusual; those are mostly wired as a single pole switch.

Steve Lackmeyer: Tom Ward is looking for prominent downtown office space
The Oklahoman's Steve Lackmeyer took questions from readers in today's OKC Central Live Chat. You can join Steve's Q&As on Fridays at 10 a.m. and submit your questions about the happenings in and around downtown Oklahoma City. Read the complete chat transcript here.
Now that the CEO situation is settled at SandRidge and they are saying it's not for sale, what should we expect regarding their downtown projects going forward?
Let's assume that both Chesapeake Energy and SandRidge stay intact and in Oklahoma City, as promised by the new CEO's of both companies. Maybe they are less prominent and aggressive in community involvement than they were under Aubrey McClendon and Tom Ward. But they remain intact, they continue to employ people, and they continue doing business. That's sort of what happened with Semgroup in Tulsa.
But with McClendon, we already have a man who took no vacation, and is clearly launching another major company with American Energy.
And I can tell you this morning I have it from great sources that Tom Ward is already searching for prominent and visible downtown office space.
Oklahoma City may end up with more great companies, not less, from the fall-out of changes at Chesapeake Energy and SandRidge Energy.
If you were to pinpoint one thing you thought was holding OKC back on more rapid growth, what would it be?
Quality of schools, followed by a tie between transit and liquor laws. I really don't see how our roads are holding us back - and the aggressive widening program Oklahoma City has pursued the past 20 years may actually be causing sprawl and other burdensome bad growth we may eventually regret.
When the Cox Convention Center is torn down and redeveloped, what do you see replacing it? Could you see a residential high rise there?
Well, you can make those assumptions. I think a discussion will occur first on whether the entire Cox Center block is razed, or whether the old Cox arena should be retained and only the exhibit halls are torn down. Either way, that site is prime land, and yeah, it could turn into offices, housing or both.
Do you genuinely have no idea what Preftakes is up to with his block of buildings? Or are you holding out while things develop?
Preftakes is requiring tenants to leave with no extensions at the end of their leases at 1 N Hudson (the old Hotel Black). He also has customers at the adjoining auto hotel on month-to-month contracts. The two buildings are considered historic and he knows he would face a huge and likely unsuccessful battle to tear them down. The floor plates do not work for big companies, and he's kicking out the smaller firms that are the only office users that can make this space work. So that would seem to indicate he's looking to change the use of the building.
The space would make for great housing, and could easily handle apartments or condominiums of up to 3,000 square feet. It's in a great location for housing, across from the new elementary, Devon Energy Center and the Myriad Gardens. Don't be surprised if the building is turned into housing.
When can we expect more news on the Uptown 23rd area, specifically the Tower Theatre?
Some big deals are about to pop soon. But I remain skeptical on any thing happening soon with the Tower Theater despite some assurances I've heard in recent weeks. I've not observed a commitment by the owner to either sell or get the project done.
Do you know if TEEMCO plans to utilize the existing restaurant space in the Gold Dome to still provide that function to the neighborhood or will it be renovated into office space?
The Oklahoman's real estate editor Richard Mize, made a great comment about the Dome a few months ago when he spoke about how the building was designed for a single tenant, and can only work best as a single tenant building. But can there be an allowance for a restaurant where the Prohibition Room was located? I don't know and the buyers don't know yet either.
Is anyone still trying to fight for the round-about idea for the Oklahoma City boulevard?
There are probably some voices still going for it. My observation, after watching a presentation trying to support such a design for the boulevard, was that the examples shown did not have any new urban development abutting these junctions. They did not appear to be good for building a downtown.

Fast, loose, funny. Now hailing from Bad Dog Theatre in Toronto, cross-Canada supergroup KEVIN is made up of acclaimed improvisers Conor Bradbury (Sex T-Rex), Colin Munch (Uncalled For), Etan Muskat (Second City Mainstage), and Evany Rosen (Picnicface). Honouring the great KEVINs of our time, this group's character-driven style delights in showing regular people in extraordinary situations and huge weirdos in totally regular situations. Each performance unfolds as an improvised "workplace drama" with the audience providing the workplace and KEVIN providing the rest, often swapping characters and populating a world that is usually much bigger and much more fraught with corporate murders than any real life Google office, Law Firm or Pioneer Village has any right to be. What ensues is a fast paced show that is always unexpected and often extraordinarily weird.

"Dulce et Decorum Est" and "Anthem for Doomed Youth"
In the poem "Dulce et Decorum Est", Wilfred Owen aims to illustrate the truth about the war. He wants to show people the difference between what happened in the trenches and the lie being told at home. He uses metaphors, comparisons, images and a sinister tone to express his feelings and to show the horror and tragedy those involved experienced.
Metaphors are used to illustrate more vividly the descriptions used in the poem: "old beggars under sacks" describes the soldiers that were deformed by the effort they had to make. This metaphor is important because it shows the effect the war experiences had on the young men.
He uses lots of comparisons like "his hanging face, like a devil's sick of sin" to compare the gas victim's face to the devil which seems corrupted and baneful. The comparisons increase the effectiveness of the poem and illustrate the point more vividly because of the images.
The image at the beginning of the poem, "bent double, like old beggars" describes the soldiers which were barely upright as they struggled to walk. From the start this image makes me feel sorry for the soldiers for the effort they had to make to march. This feeling is amplified by another image "men marched asleep" which proves that they were more asleep than awake. In this condition the soldiers would have been barely able to defend themselves. Owen wants to prove that the soldiers were pushed to their limits. The image "an ecstasy of fumbling" means in frenzy or in a hurry. It makes me understand how scared and desperate they were, trying to find their masks even if they were so tired they could barely move. Using the image "as under a green sea I saw him drowning" the poet describes when he sees the soldier die because he couldn't find his masks. The death of the soldier is amplified by another image "obscene as cancer, bitter as the cud of vile, incurable sores of...

The thyroid gland regulates the body's metabolism and growth, and secretes several hormones: thyroxine (T4), triiodothyronine (T3), and calcitonin. Thyroid problems can affect female patients of any age.
The functions of the thyroid gland have much to do with a woman's reproductive system, particularly if the thyroid is overactive or underactive. Effects of this imbalance in hormone levels may have the following effects on a woman's body:
Puberty and menstruation
Thyroid disorders can cause abnormally early or late onset of puberty and menstruation. In addition, abnormally high or low levels of thyroid hormone can cause very light or very heavy menstrual periods, very irregular menstrual periods, or absent menstrual periods (a condition called amenorrhea).
An overactive or underactive thyroid may also affect ovulation (the release of an egg for fertilization). Thyroid disorders may prevent ovulation from occurring at all. In addition, the ovaries are at an increased risk for cyst development if the woman has an underactive thyroid (hypothyroid). Severe hypothyroidism can actually cause milk production in the breast, while preventing ovulation.
Pregnancy and postpartum
Thyroid disorders during pregnancy can harm the fetus and may lead to thyroid problems in the mother after birth, such as postpartum thyroiditis.
Thyroid disorders may cause the early onset of menopause (before age 40 or in the early 40s). In addition, some symptoms of hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid), such as lack of menstruation, hot flashes, insomnia, and mood swings may be mistaken for early menopause. Treating hyperthyroidism sometimes can alleviate symptoms of, or the actual onset of, early menopause.

text: Is Inflation Really Gone Forever? Jon Ruff July 19, 2013 Americas, Asia-Pacific, Europe, Alternative Investments, Economics Recent movements in asset prices suggest that markets have forsaken any possibility of an inflation outbreak in the next decade. We believe that view is far too sanguine. In 2011, inflation in the US was expected to reach 2.4% by 2013, according to consensus estimates. But since then, consensus expectations for 2013 consumer price inflation in the US have fallen by nearly 100 basis points (b.p.) to 1.5%, with a third of the drop coming in the past three months. Similar trends have unfolded in China, with inflation expectations for 2013 dropping by 150 b.p. from peaks two years ago. Inflation Expectations Have Tumbled Medium-term inflation expectations in the US have also tumbled; the five-year break-even inflation rate, measured by nominal Treasury yields minus yields on Treasury Inflation Protected Securities (TIPS), starting five years from now has fallen 75 b.p. from 2011 highs. Here, too, a third of the fall has come in just the past three months. This decline in expectations is understandable. After years of unprecedented fiscal stimulus and unconventional monetary policy by the US Federal Reserve and other major central banks around the world, most economies continue to operate well below potential and without even a whiff of consumer price inflation. Fiscal policy has turned neutral at best (outside Japan) and the Fed is contemplating a tapering of monetary policy. If inflation wasn't sparked by aggressive fiscal and monetary policies globally, then why should it arise now with these policies winding down? Markets May Have Gone Too Far We agree that, in the short term, the outlook for consumer price inflation in the US and China is relatively benign. However, markets seem to have gone a step too far and discounted even the possibility of an inflation outbreak in the long term. We strongly disagree with this latter consensus and believe it has created an attractive entry point for investors to incorporate inflation protection into their portfolios. The re-rating of inflation tail risks can be seen in survey data, in inflation derivative markets and in the price of gold. As the left chart in the display shows, economists are as confident today as they have been at any point in the past 60 years that inflation will not tick up (from depressed levels) in the near term. This confidence carries into the inflation derivatives market. The price of options that pay off if long-term inflation expectations jump by certain amounts above prevailing expectations are at post-crisis lows and less than half their 2009 values. Perhaps most spectacularly, the right chart shows that the value of disaster insurance embedded in the price of gold crashed from nearly US$500/oz in January to zero on June 28. Real Assets Are Extremely Cheap Partially as a result of this inflation risk re-rating, every real asset category in our universe—assets that tend to perform well in inflationary environments—underperformed broad stock indices in the second quarter. This includes stocks and futures of precious metals, industrial metals, energy and agriculture, as well as real estate around the world. Even TIPS trailed equities. The good news is that this re-rating has left inflation protection and the broad universe of real assets at their cheapest levels since the global financial crisis. Barring a collapse of growth in China or the resurfacing of global deflation fears, we believe real assets should at least keep pace with global equities in the coming years. And if even the possibility of an inflation outbreak gets priced back into the markets, then we expect real assets to post dramatic outperformance.

text: I am planning to gift a Nokia 101 to my dad in some days for his birthday but before going on with the purchase I just had a query which I wanted to get sorted out. My dad is at the movement using two different set of mobile phones so I decided to go with the Nokia 101 Dual sim phone. Now I just want to know will both the Sims be active at the same time. Means suppose if I get a call on the Sim 1 and I receive the call and start with the conversation and during this time if I get a call on Sim 2 so will my sim 2 be active and Ill get a second call or will my second sim will be inactive. I hope you are clear with what I asked? Hope someone replies soon as I want to gift the cell phone to my dad on his birthday and its approaching.

What's up fellas , I recently started an apprenticeship for UA plumbers and pipefitters and am preparing for my 6g welding test tig root and hot pass 7018 out on a 2 inch super coupon. The stick portion of the test I can run good and the hotpass is fused in nicely (i will provide pictures I'm better with a stinger than a computer lol) and I thought I had the root pretty good but they burst my bubble on that say flush on the inside of the pipe wasn't good enough I needed a visible 1/16 after the test was done . I wanna get this down before my next class just so I can get my name on the test list , I'm running 80 amps 1/8in gap knife edge 1/8in filler on the root on a miller tb 302 I'm having trouble getting that extra reinforcement on the inside it just turns out flush
No announcement yet.
underfill prevention on root pass
new posts
Can your wire fit thru the gap? The easiest way to get some but not to much penetration is to set your gap just a hair wider than your wire. Using a 5/32 space on the first tack will usually leave you just about right after you put the rest of your tacks in.
The trick is to hold half of your wire in the inside of the knife edge, this will give you roughly 1/16 fill on the inside but you can't "wash" up on your walls or it will pull it back to flush. run slightly colder and a hair faster. You need to melt it in, but thats all, if you lally gag around it will suck back.
Another trick is to weld, weld, weld. Root it, hot it, then go to sticking don't stop and smoke a cig and see how everyone else is doing. You can take a break before you cap to decrease the chance of undercut, but other than that weld, weld, weld. The heat will pull your coupons together and swish out your bead. I've taken a lot of test were the bottom of the bead was just about flat but the QC sayed to run it on out. When they would come back to look at the cap, they usually liked the bead a lot better. Because it had stud up some. I know it sounds a little crazy but I've ended up pushing a lot of them threw, especially on Tig tube tests were you only stop if your out of wire.
Them 2'' XXS ain't much fun are they. The ID's about the size of a quarter. LOL

I'll give that a try RH , after I read your post I realized I was trying to set my gap so I could rest my filler wire inside my gap as opposed to sitting it inside the knife edge , and as far as them test coupons go I'm glad I don't have to weld them in the field 30 ft in the air or 9 in from the ground in the booth is just fine for me . When I do run one of them coupons out I stay right on it as you suggested until the cap, them things do suck until you get the groove lol. I'll try another one using your advice n post pics , thank you for your help
That's right-- hot, close and fast for the root. Push as much wire in as the joint will take. Sounds like you already have the right idea-- good luck on test day!!

Well that's about enough for the day I figured I should try a root pass using these new techniques on a 6 in piece of sched 40 and well its embarrassing its going to take some practice , I know its going work cuz the parts that ran fine were exactly what I need to do and as for the pics I dropped my camera in the garage before I could take any and ran outta argon and gasoline for my welder thanks for the help guys but I think its time to jump in the bottle and find a crazy woman tonight lol. Oh and on the bottom of the pipe the filler metal kept jumping on to my tungsten is this an easy fix or no thanks again
Ya that'll happen fng656. Learning to mess with the pedal on the overhead portion can be a difficult and sometimes humbling experience. Keep the wire laid right in your grove and walk the torch a little back and forth over the puddle. Lots of filler and a LITTLE weave will help keep the puddle from boiling and jumpin onto your tungsten.Big Blue 400D

A very beautiful picture. Almost like a painting.

Thanks, Josh. I certainly wouldn't want to enter it now, though. There's no telling what critters are in there.

helloI am at my wits end with this to be perfectly honest,
Resolved Question:
hello I am at my wits end with this to be perfectly honest, i was with my wife for over 4 years before we got married, which looking back i probably shouldnt have done, ut im married now anyway so thats that, but the main problem is i dont feel i love my wife anymore and she has got undying love for me, i have told her i dont see a future for us but she just wants to try anyway. the other thing that happened which sort of made me realise all this and to finally say something was i met a girl and instantly had a connection with her more so than anyone before in my life, and also i got speaking to her regularly which just made my life even more complicated, but i am very confused about having feelings like that for another woman while being married, its the first time it has happened since i basically dont know what to do next. any help would be very much appreciated

Your wife sounds quite needy and dependent. If my spouse told me she didn't love me anymore and that she wasn't happy, though it would break my heart I would tell her to leave. I would tell her to leave because I would want her to be happy and I would tell her to leave because I wouldn't want to disrespect myself by having someone in my life who didn't want to be. Where is her love for you and for her self? Maybe this is the main thing you find un-appealing about her.
Part of your maturation process is to understand and do something about the answer to the following question, What motivated you to be with and commit to someone who is like this? (meaning your current wife)
Stop talking to, seeing or having contact with the other gal. Tell your wife you are getting a divorce, as soon as practical move to another place. Don't resume your contact with the other gal until you are divorced. If she is not around then, trust it wasn't meant to be. Starting a new relationship with out time to process and understand the current one, is a great disservice to your self and the new person.
Sounds like you made a mistake. Be courageous, admit it, and do all you can to correct it.
Do you have children? If so how old are they?
Sorry to hear you are in this very painful place.

Update Notes
Updated on: 03/27/2016
Since we last visited HDKRaw...
If you're wondering what HDK Raw is, it's a bareback sex and fisting site from the Hot Desert Knights studio. You'll definitely see some of the content here for sale on DVDs or video-on-demand sites, but this is the place to download them from the original source. You also get a link to some exclusive photo shoots that you won't find elsewhere.
If you like your men manly, then this is the website for you. Sure, there are some slim, hairless dudes too, but most of these fellows are beefy studs and they often sport chest hair and leather gear. They range from cute boys to hairy daddies to muscular jocks to smoldering ethnic guys.
The site brings you 519 videos that are often available as Windows Media files that provide good to great-quality playback. You can also download them as MP4s, or stream them through an embedded Flash player. The newer scenes give you HD playback and are only available in MP4 formats.
By the way, you'll need to filter the movies in the "scenes" section so that you only see the ones from HDKRaw (or you can use the "quick links" on the homepage). Otherwise you'll also get scenes from Making Gay Porn and HDK Fisting, which is not a bad thing, of course. You see, all three sites are part of the HDK Central network, which is where you land no matter which site you sign into, because they all share the same interface. You can also check out some streaming movies that provide you with even more gay action.
The action on this site includes nasty past-the-wrist fisting scenes, orgies, rimming, blowjobs, bareback sex, cum-swapping, leather men, giant dildos and sex outdoors. Doesn't that sound like a raunchy basket of horny gay action? There are certainly some shoots that stood out. I'm not a religious man, but when you see someone press his palms together like he's about to pray before he shoves both hands into another guy's bum, it's an ethereal experience. How about a gangbang where a bottom takes on nine guys? It's impressive and even includes an anal daisy chain at one point.
You'll also find about 1,225 photo sets. It looks like there are more at first glance, but that's because some of the sets are just vid caps. This also explains why you might feel like you're seeing duplicate content. The photo sets can be downloaded in Zip files and usually come with high-res images. You'll also find softcore layouts with meaty cocks and big balls dangling between sinewy thighs.
The content on the other sites will most likely comes in handy, because this site doesn't have a set update, but it has given you three new videos in the last month (no pics though). It's unfortunate, but if you hate condoms and love rough manly sex, then HDK Raw is definitely the site for you.
* Please include a pro and a con about the site. Balance is essential in making a comment worthwhile. Scores without comments will be deleted.
* Watch out for ratings of zero and 100. In our opinion, there is no such thing as a site that is absolutely perfect or completely worthless.
