Amazon.com Review
Fatsis gives us all the facts about Scrabble--from the story of the down-on-his-luck architect who invented the game in the 1930s to the intricacies of individual international competitions and the corporate wars to control the world's favorite word game. He keeps the reader turning the pages as we get involved in the lives of the Scrabble obsessives: men and women who have a point to prove against the world and have chosen Scrabble as their playground and their pulpit. As Fatsis goes on his own quest to attain the coveted 1600 rating, we actually get obsessed with him as he lies awake at night pondering moves and memorizing lists of words. For anybody who is interested in words, Word Freak provides an entertaining and absorbing read. --Dwight Longenecker, Amazon.co.uk --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

"The purpose of Aikido is to better people's lives,
to make their spirits blossom and become strong,
and by making better people to make a better world"
Mitsugi Saotome, Student of O-Sensei
September 10, 2016 – 10am – 1pm – Workshop with Rob Depp Sensei
Fon't Forget – Friday night is our women's only class. If you have any questions, please reach out to us for more information.

About Aikido
Aikido was founded by Morihei Ueshiba in the 1920's as a culmination of his martial studies in Daitō-ryū aiki-jūjutsu and spiritual pursuits in the Ōmoto-kyō religion. Morihei Ueshiba is commonly referred to as O-Sensei (Great Teacher). The word Aikido contains three elements: "ai"-harmony or coordination, "ki"-the spirit or energy, and "do"- the method or way. The power of Aikido is not found in huge muscle strength but rather in the correct and natural method of coordinating the mind and body. With correct coordination, one can use the momentum brought by an assailant to apply a wrist lock, throw, or calmly diffuse an aggressor's energy. Those who study this martial art strive for self-improvement of their own inner harmony so they can better blend with tense or aggressive situations in the dojo and in the world beyond. Both men and women can benefit from the regular practice of "Aikido: the way of harmony."
Dojo History
AWR was founded in its original location in 1991 by Byron Mellinger Sensei and was originally affiliated with Aikido Kinokawa. In 1992, after a break with Aikido Kinokawa, AWR became affiliated with the American Aikido Association (AAA), which was founded and directed by Toyoda Sensei. In 1993, AWR became affiliated with the Aikido Schools of Ueshiba (ASU), founded and directed by Mitsugi Saotome Shihan. AWR continues to be affiliate with the ASU, and is connected to Hombu Dojo in Tokyo, Japan, through this affiliation.
In 1999, Byron Sensei decided to retire from teaching and practicing aikido and left AWR in the hands of its students. In the summer of 1999, the students formed the Board of Directors and began leading the dojo as a student-run organization. The Board is currently comprised of four senior members of the dojo who regularly teach classes, organize seminars, arrange for social events, and oversee the maintenance and care of the dojo. Current Board members are Eric Webber, Michael Harrell, Christine Moore, Bob Ferrara, and Chris Kostaras.
After the departure of Byron Sensei in 1999, the senior students of AWR turned to other area ASU Sensei for guidance and instruction, including David Goldberg Sensei of Seishinkan Dojo (formerly Norristown, presently Fort Washington), and Dan Messisco Sensei. Currently, AWR regularly hosts several teachers throughout the year for seminars and instruction, including Jimmy Sorrentino Sensei of Arlington, VA, and Charlie Page Sensei of the Baltimore Aikikai.
AWR continues today as a Not-For-Profit student-run organization. All of the members share in paying monthly dues, maintaining and caring for the dojo, and providing a safe and welcoming atmosphere to all who earnestly wish to come and train in Aikido.

Aikido West Reading
3459 B Penn Avenue
Sinking Spring, PA 19608
The dojo is located next to Hair on the Avenue in Sinking Spring. Parking is available around back off of Blanbird Drive.
Q: How do I get started in aikido?
A: Come in and watch a class. If you decide you would like to try aikido, you may train for one week free. After that, you may sign the appropriate paperwork and become a member.
Q: What is involved in training at your dojo?
A: Aikido is noncompetitive, and we structure our classes beginning with warm ups followed by demonstration and practice of several techniques. You will be expected to take on the role of "nage" (thrower) and "uke" (one who is thrown). You will learn how to execute techniques as well as protect yourself and safely fall or roll out of techniques. We have members of varying ages, sizes, and abilities. It is expected that we all be sensitive to each other's limits and strive to create an environment where we will be pushed to learn and grow in our training without causing injury.
Q: Is there a contract to sign?
A: No. Dues are paid on a monthly basis.
Q: How much will it cost?
A: Our monthly dues are as follows:
Monthly Dues
Single member: $70/month
Family rate (2 related members): $100/month
*each additional related family member can join at an additional $30/month
Ladies Night: $40/month
Annual Dues
Dojo Insurance: $25/year
ASU Membership: $45/year for mudansha (kyu ranked); $75/year for yudansha (dan ranked)
*A mat fee of $10 for guests to practice is appreciated.
Q: Who benefits from the monthly dues?
A: The students do. AWR is a Not-For-Profit Organization; there are no paid employees or instructors. Everyone pays the same monthly dues regardless of rank or position in the dojo. Everyone is expected to take part in cleaning, maintaining, and caring for the dojo.
Q: Do I need to buy a gi and/or hakama immediately?
A: No. You may begin training in sweats and a t-shirt to start. If you have another gi from another dojo or art, you may also wear that. However, it is appropriate to wear a white belt if unranked in aikido.
Q: What kind of ranking system and belts are used in aikido?
A: The ranking system at AWR is fairly simple. There are "kyu" ranks and there are are "dan" ranks. 6th through 4th kyu wear a white belt, 3rd through 1st kyu may wear a brown belt, and dan ranks wear a black belt. Please know that rank does not come quickly or easily in aikido; it generally takes six to eight years of consistent, regular training for a shodan (1st dan).
Q: Are there kata in aikido?
A: While there are not traditional solo kata (as there are in karate, tae kwon do, etc), the method of practice is kata-like in that there is a prescribed attack and a prescribed technique for defense in order to practice the particular techniques during class. "Jiyuwaza," or free form, is practiced at more advanced levels. There are some weapons kata that are taught and practiced.
Q: Are there weapons in aikido?
A: Yes. We train with the bokken, jo, and tanto. Much of aikido technique is based on Japanese sword technique (specifically the school of Yagyu Shinkage Ryu), thus the bokken is used to help demonstrate and clarify principles of movement and technique. We also practice defending against armed attackers using the bokken, jo, and tanto.
Q: Will I need to buy weapons immediately?
A: No. There are weapons at the dojo for use during class. If you want to practice weapons kata at home, you may purchase your own weapons. This is recommended after you are sure you want to continue your aikido practice.

PEI Environmental Scholars Program
PEI's Environmental Scholars Program was established in 2011 with an inaugural gift from Elizabeth A. Smith and Ray E. Newton III '86 to support advanced undergraduate scholarship in the broad area of environmental studies. The Program is honorific in nature and designed to reward students who have shown exceptional promise in their academic coursework and in select summer research apprenticeships under the guidance of Princeton faculty.
The Environmental Scholars Program enables students to continue research apprenticeships with a member of the Princeton faculty in the summer following their sophomore year and on a continuous basis culminating in field study as an integral component of their junior and senior independent work. It is intended for students who are able to clearly articulate a research agenda within the context of their academic course of study and with reference to previous research immersion experiences.
During the fall semester, students are nominated to submit application materials for admission to the program. Selection is made by committee and admitted students are eligible to receive up to $15,000 to support their research agenda over a 2 year period. Awards are structured to cover costs of a qualified summer research apprenticeship and/or research expenses associated with independent field study connected to curricular junior/senior independent work.
PEI Environmental Scholars: Awarded in 2015
Zoe Sims '17, Newton Family Scholar
Major: Ecology and Evolutionary Biology
Research Topic: Coral Reef Acclimatization to Climate Change: Phenotypic Tradeoffs and Environmental Consequences
Adviser: Stephen Pacala, Frederick D. Petrie Professor in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology and PEI associated faculty member
Zoe Sims '17 is researching how human activity influences ecosystem structure and biodiversity. Her fieldwork will characterize chemical and ecological impacts of groundwater discharge on Bermuda's coral reefs. She is studying how the reef responds to elevated groundwater nutrient levels due to dense human population, to improve understanding of the compounding stressors of human inputs, climate change, and ocean acidification on coral reef ecosystem stability. Zoe's research is co-advised by Princeton's Steve Pacala and Anne Cohen of the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution.
Adrian Tasistro-Hart '17, Newton Family Scholar
Major: Civil and Environmental Engineering
Research Topic: Testing Milankovitch Theory with Late Cretaceous Lake Deposits in Bolivia
Adviser: Adam Maloof, associate professor of geosciences and PEI associated faculty member
Adrian Tasistro-Hart '17 is pursuing a geological field study of cyclic lake deposits in the Potosi Basin, Bolivia. The samples he is collecting date to the late Cretaceous period from 145.5 million to 65.5 million years ago -- a time in which global surface conditions were nearly ice-free and thus resemble conditions our planet is approaching today as a result of anthropogenic forcing. Through better understanding of the ice-free earth of the Cretaceous period, Adrian hopes to inform predictions for future climate change.
Marcus Spiegel '17, Newton Family Scholar
Major: Geosciences
Research Topic: Modeling Agricultural Expansion in Zambia to Predict and Minimize Tradeoffs
Adviser: Kelly Caylor, Associate Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering, Director, Program in Environmental Studies
Marcus Spiegel '17 is seeking to understand how demands for increased agricultural production in sub-Saharan Africa can be met in the most environmentally, economically, and socially beneficial manner. To pursue this query, Marcus will spend the summer generating a computer model that simulates the effects of different scenarios for increasing arable land under varying ecological and economic cost constraints. His work will take him to Zambia where he will have the opportunity to interview agronomists and other scientists at the Zambia Agriculture Research Institute with benefit for collecting data on crop yields and augmenting his understanding of emerging agricultural practices.
Paul Yi '17, Newton Family Scholar
Major: Geosciences
Research Topic: CProcess Simulations of Tidally Driven Internal Waves over Rough Topography
Adviser: Sonya Legg, Associate Director of Cooperative Institute for Climate Science
Paul Yi '17 aims to improve mathematical models for predicting future climate change by developing a more accurate representation of the ocean's meridional overturning circulation – a process that plays a significant role in the redistribution of heat from the equator to the polar regions, thus moderating temperatures across the globe and connecting the surface ocean to the deep ocean. For his project, Paul will conduct high resolution numerical simulations of internal waves under the supervision of Professor Sonia Legg in the department of atmospheric and oceanic sciences.

Looking back at 6 Carrollton-Farmers Branch-Addison community headlines in 2013
Don Showman Pool, a community staple in Farmers Branch for more than 50 years, closed its gates in August. The pool, which opened in 1958, will be replaced by a $7 million aquatics facility that will include indoor and outdoor amenities. Construction on the new facility was set to begin this summer. The goal was to have the outdoor portion ready to open Memorial Day weekend of next year. The indoor portion was set to open that fall.

Authorities have released the identity of a man whose body was found in an inflatable kiddie pool that was floating on the Licking River in Harrison County.
Sheriff Bruce Hampton told WKYT-TV that it appears 55-year-old Anthony Clem of Georgetown drowned.
His body was discovered on Saturday in Cynthiana by two fishermen. No foul play is suspected, but police are investigating to determine the manner of death.

Offering an intimate look at the people and places of Afghanistan, India, and Pakistan, this memoir by adventurer and historian Mathew Wilson recounts journeys into remote areas as a member of the British army and with his family in the late 1960s. Wilson relates stories of crossing the Hindu Kush with his pregnant wife and two-year-old son and running a gauntlet of armed border guards to get his injured son to a hospital. Twenty-one years later, Wilson returned to honor a promise made to a Hindu priest in Central India-to seek, find, and follow the fleeting shadow of the Rani of Jhansi, one of the heroines of India's 1957 revolt against British rule.

Neither product particularly benefited me but seemed worth the costs in exchange for a new Sony Vaio computer. However, as soon as I completed the second transaction and, therefore, met all of the terms to get the Sony Vaio, I was disconnected from the internet by "the outside host". I attempted to reconnect and return to the final page of the survey but it was impossible. That's when I started trying to contact the company, "eMarketResearchGroup". I cannot find them. The original e-mail offer gives a Florida address but I checked it with the Florida Department of State and they are not a licensed corporation in Florida.
Essentially I spent hours of time, spent money and have entered binding agreements in exchange for a computer that I may never see.
This is clearly a fraud. I got to this page because I wanted to look up the company and saw another complaint about the same bastards. I thought, if I can spend two hours getting swindled, I can spend ten minutes so that someone else doesn't.

I Should Have Gone Home: Tripping Up Around the World Paperback – May 1, 2005
Editorial Reviews
From Booklist
Copyright © American Library Association. All rights reserved
From the Publisher
These travel humor books, translated into more than a dozen languages, have transcended geography, language and class, not to mention national origin. From the religious pilgrim to the elitist determined to recreate the Orient Express luxury experience, we all enjoy hearing about someone else who has seen a good trip go horribly wrong. Before starting the I Should Have Stayed Home series, I had spent many years working as a travel writer, telling newspaper and magazine readers where to go. For those who were eager to have me along for the ride, I even wrote guidebooks, often in tandem with experts who were seasoned editors and travel agents. Imagine my surprise when I learned that the audience for stories about bad trips was significantly broader than the audience for our Getaway guides to England, Colorado, the Southwest and California.
You may wonder what is wrong with travellers. Is no mountain high enough or river wide enough for them? Why dont they turn around when a blizzard sets in or they see the obvious peril of a Class 5 rapids? Why do they take all these chances when they dont have to? Wouldnt it make more sense for them to spend their money on a package tour to EuroDisney, where the wine flows freely, luggage is never lost and the bathrooms are checked for cleanliness every 15 minutes? The answer, my friends, is not blowing in the wind. Rather, it is in these pages, and I welcome you to join me to meet some of the winners of our international travel disaster contests held in association with bookstores, libraries and newspapers from Portland to Londons Putney neighborhood.
One of my favorite disaster stories involves yours truly when my rental car was stolen outside a bookstore in Denton, Texas. Naturally, I was giving a talk on the I Should Have Stayed Home series. The police never found the Dodge, my clothes, laptop, books or a box of bright red I Should Have Stayed Home buttons. Six weeks later I received a long, handwritten letter from a woman in South Carolina who had read about my incident. She had seen my belongings for sale at a flea market. Unfortunately, my correspondent explained, no one appeared to be buying the hot RDR books. That, of course, must be an aberration. For the books, and the stories, multiply.
In fact, traffic in these tales of humor and horror is so brisk that RDR Books can no longer accommodate all the wonderful material sent to us. Indeed, our inbox is so full that we are now planning new single-topic books on subjects like hotels and food. Yes, in the time it takes you to read this sentence another world traveler will be on their way down the River o No Return having paid for the privilege.
Talk show hosts and journalists frequently ask the RDR editorial team, Bob Drews, Kim Klescewski and myself, to name our favorite I Should Have Stayed Home stories. This question is a little like asking a parent to single out his or her favorite child. With these pieces frequently reprinted in newspapers, magazines and anthologies, its hard to pick out a grand prize winner. Suffice it to say we find something endearing in every story we read. But there certainly are moments along the way that enjoy a permanent home in our collective memory bank.
Who could ever forget the moment in I Should Have Gone Home when Dian Fossey urges our writer Kelly Stewart to stalk Rwandan Gorilla poachers with a Beretta smuggled into the country deep inside an English Christmas cake? Or what about the scene in I Really Should Have Stayed Home when a lawyer tells Brian Abrahams that his parking fine for blocking a line of Brussels trams added up to $85,000? Tales of troubled travel like these resonate with our fans from Madagascar to Mongolia. Certainly, we hope none of this ever happens to you. But if it does, we would love to hear all about it
I'd like to read this book on Kindle

I paid $22 (plus). The report I received after paying gave me no more information than the info posted on the first page, before I paid..except it showed that there was two sex offenders living in the area. Who cares? It stated that the individual that I was searching has no marriage history. I know this is untrue. Finally, the site wanted $19 more to access "Premium Data" Upgrade. It also asked me to check any or all three "People Related to My Search". I did so for one of the three. No info cmae up on that person. I wish that I had looked at the reviews before I spent the money.

Skip to comments.Embattled, Rice bows out of running; Kerry likely
Posted on 12/13/2012 4:54:31 PM PST by Free ThinkerNY
WASHINGTON (AP) -- Susan Rice, the embattled U.N. ambassador, abruptly withdrew from consideration to be the next secretary of state on Thursday after a bitter, weekslong standoff with Republican senators who declared they would fight to defeat her nomination.
The reluctant announcement makes Massachusetts Sen. John Kerry the likely choice to be the nation's next top diplomat when Hillary Rodham Clinton departs soon.
(Excerpt) Read more at hosted.ap.org ...
And Kerry will become "embattled" again. People have not forgotten about him, to be sure.
I've got to admit, I wouldn't mind seeing old horseface gone from the Senate.
In the end.....it will be Chuck Hagel as Sec Def and a left (and I mean LEFT FIELD) selection for SOS who comes from academia. Kerry doesnt want this mess.
And now we can have the nuanced nuisance.
The traitor???
Actually better this way. If Rice had won, 'Herman Munster' Kerry would have been nominated for Sec. of Defense.
John Kerry already has experience with dealing with Commmunists , he met with the Viet Cong during the Viet nam war. Nothing like putting a traitor and war criminal as Secretary of State.
I would bet that John McCain will say what a wondeful guy he is, I can hear him now. "My Friend and colleague John F'in is a wonderful choice."
Unbelieveable things happen in the worlds of politics.The man who characterised our soldiers of behaving like Ghengis Khan will be representing America.
It's enough to make a buzzard gag.
Here come the Swift Boats...
Now that Republicans have "won" what I think was an imaginary battle against Rice it will be next to impossible for them to deny the S of S job to the guy I've heard may be a Vietnam veteran.
I would suspect the Kerry-Heinz is just as incompetent as Rice or Mrs. Bill .... so, for the Food Stamp President, what's not to like. Besides he can make the cooked Rice one of his personal Czars without Senate confirmation.
I'd rather see him as Secretary of State than Secretary of Defense
SOS in this administration seems like a phoney baloney job.
I don't think Hilary had any authority at all.
Kerry is a poor choice for nearly anything, but under the circumstances he is just as harmless as SOS as a Senator. And with a bit of luck we could pick up his seat.
This moronic loser (AKA: kerry) has a "4PH" license plate. This to remind everyone that while he is a traitor he did reward himself 4 questionable Purple Hearts. Loser.
Maybe it was because of this:
I doubt the Swiftees will get involved unless Zero tries to make Kerry the SecDef.
Will we ever be able to have a female Secretary of State again?
Once Obama finishes helping his Muslim friends sharia-ize the Middle East, the only way a female diplomat will be able to get close to a Middle Eastern leader will be by joining his harem.
The Swifties are quietly loading their torpedoes to sink Kerry, again, if he rears his traitorous head.
You can count on it!
Kerry must be getting used to sloppy seconds.
Ironically, Kerry got his first Purple Heart when he and another soldier threw hand grenades into a VC rice supply to destroy it.
The rice shot out and his Kerry in the ass. First fraudulent PH. Second one was when he fired an M79 grenade at the VC and hit something so close that the flechette from the premature explosion hit his arm.
Third false PH was the non-happening VC mine explosion that he claimed hit his Swiftboat, causing arm and leg injuries. The boat hit an underwater obstruction, not a mine, or he wouldn't have been here to lie about it.
If he is nominated for anything, there will be questions asked of him that will expose his treason. He has no idea what is waiting for him.
We have long memories of his treason, and long knives.
Chronologically, this was actually the first "injury". But it was not claimed at the time.
Instead, it became the third claim -- urged by his fellow officers -- which allowed him to gain "three Purple Hearts and out".
This according to the "Swift Boat Vets".
If it's SecDef, you're right.
SOS, not so much. Kerry is already SOS in all but title. The SwiftVets aren't going to waste their time with some mush mouth fancy pants diplomat post.
As corrupt and incompetent as Rice is, Kerry will end up being rewarded by Beghazi Barry for over 20 years in the Senate with no distinguishing accomplishments.
The only major accomplishment that John F'n Kerry has achieved in all his time in the Senate is keeping dust from collecting in his chair. That's not something most people would want to put on their resume.
But, then, Kerry isn't "most people"; he's a bottom-feeder.
Agree that the chronology is mixed up. For FR readers, see Chapter 3: The Purple Heart Hunter and Chapter 5: More Fraudulent Medals, in "Unfit for Command", by John O'Neill and Jerome Corsi (and Scott Swett and myself).
Actually, that's not quite true. Kerry is noted for his 3-day work weeks and is almost always absent on Mondays and Fridays. And, often, as when wind-surfing or a week in Sun Valley beckons, he doesn't bother to show up at all.
If I'm not mistaken, when he ran for President in 2004, he attended the Senate all of 19 days.
One interesting fact that few people know about is that John Kerry was in... Vietnam.
As for picking up Kerry's seat, MA is hopeless IMO. Brown was an aberration and he was easily sliced and diced by the Democrat machine.
So, you're telling me about characteristics, not accomplishments.

I have returned from a most excellent venture ashore to the Port Browning Pub in search of pizza, and they have good pizza. The tummy is happy, the wind is down to zero, the bay is mirror-like, and the last little boat is tucking himself in for the night.
That was actually a most interesting conversation with the owner of the small sailboat – as I returned to Beetle via dinghy he pulled up and asked how deep it was, as his depth sounder didn't work. I indicated I had set in 35′ of water. He then asked how much line he should let out for his anchor, so I asked him if he was all chain or chain and rope? He said chain and rope, so I suggested 4:1 might be good, depending on what kind of anchor he had. What kind of anchor do you have? I asked. He didn't know the name, so he pulled up the chain hanging over the bow to show me the anchor hanging from the end – a danforth-style anchor with one of those loop shanks that allow the chain shackle to pull one way and set the anchor or slide along to the crown and pull the other way to get anchor out. He said he'd already tried to set it once and all it did was bounce along the bottom. His anchor was hanging with the shackle at the crown – I pointed out that would never work and all he was doing was pulling the anchor out. Ahah! he said, and flipped the anchor over so it was oriented for setting. I suggested he might want to be back towards the beach a ways (mostly because that would put him further away from me, but it would be shallower also in case he didn't have enough rode). He finished up by saying Thanks! There's got to be a first time to try this anchoring thing out, as he normally stayed in marinas but tonight Port Browning was full up and he was stuck figuring out his anchoring technique. I hope it goes well for him, at least it is quiet calm and the forecast is for more of the same for the night.
Earlier today, when rounding the red buoy that marks the rocky shoal at the head of Port Browning, I came across a wrecked sailboat hull stuck up on the rocks. That boat wasn't there a couple of weeks ago, and it was completely denuded of mast, rigging, or rudder. I wonder if it came off a mooring in the big storm of last week, and fetched up there? From outside the entry you see the starboard hull, all glistening black and looking good. Later, as one enters and passes the boat, I looked back and discovered the port side was missing, as was the deck – the only part of the boat left was the starboard side of the hull. Ouch! I hope nobody was on the boat when that happened – not good.
Elsewise it has been a pleasant day, not much wind, temperature has been perfect (not too hot, not too cold, and mosquitoes are down in number). A number of sneak ferries were observed at Active Pass, and one particularly sneaky one came in through the pass then made an immediate hard turn o port to go into the ferry terminal. Most of the big ferries cruise on through to Sydney, but not this one! The fish boats were surprised and had to move out of his way – ferries have right of way here, as far as I can tell. Even if they don't have right of way, I suspect that Jamaican Rules of the Road prevail (aka "tonnage wins").
Plan for tomorrow is to up and out on the early side, bound for Orcas Island.

Jail, probation deal for woman in 1957 murder
SHEBOYGAN, Wis. A Wisconsin woman accused of killing her infant daughter nearly 56 years ago has reached a plea deal that calls for 45 days in jail.
A judge accepted the plea agreement Monday for 76-year-old Ruby Klokow.
Sheboygan County District Attorney Joe De Cecco (de CHECK'-oh) recommended the jail term plus 10 years' probation for Klokow, citing her advanced age and health as factors.
Klokow (CLOCK'-ow) was charged with second-degree murder after her son, James Klokow Jr., came forward in 2008 with horrific stories of childhood abuse.
A criminal complaint said Ruby Klokow admitted causing the death of her 6-month-old baby, Jeaneen.

I thought the right to secede was part of Texas' agreement when they entered the Union ... not subject to opinion. Do I have this wrong, or are they really saying 69% of Texans don't know their rights?
My thinking is that if a state really was able to succeed from that Union, that state would become a powerhouse economy. All the clients of the Federal Gummit would high tail it out of the state, and producers and entrepreneurs would flood the place. Instant Singapore.
LOL! I've been wondering exactly where 'in Texas' this poll was taken....in big liberal enclaves of the metro areas or way out here in flyover country.
Thanks djsherin. From most accounts Rasmussen does a pretty decent job of polling but something doesn't ring quite true about these numbers. Not saying they're wrong necessarily but I'd sure like to get a look at his sample.

Just say No.
AUTHOR: Righteous1 - (United States of America)
SUBMITTED: Saturday, January 21, 2012POSTED: Saturday, January 21, 2012
but what in heavens name makes you insult us educated folks who have the ability to SAY NO to telemarketers and products we do not wish to purchase or participate in? I consider your report lame and without merit to US consumers who know how to say NO and hang up!
I abhor disgruntled employees that cannot find a way to improve the work environment but rather complain instead. You and others have the ability to improve things....Stop and think. Its how you handle things to make a positive impact. Can you seriously say your report was a way to improve things or was it just a rant to blow off steam?
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

Finally a solution that worked. This started driving me nuts!
Thanks very much :)
Hey guys
I've been playing around with my Amarok script again. I now wrote 2, one for Amarok 1.4 and another for Amarok 2. I also have a new Amarok cover script which works with both 1.4 and 2...
Very nice, as usual :biggrin:
Just a quick change you can add to the cover script. You probably noticed that when the original cover art is not exactly square then the end result doesn't look...
To get album art from local files is really rather dependent on the player that you use and if it provides metadata when queried using dcop or qdbus. I posted a couple of scripts in this thread for...
Try wireless_link_qual_perc or wireless_link_qual instead if you want the signal strength. I don't think linkstatus is a variable that conky recognises.
I'm keeping it simple for a change:
awn with lucido style
3 conky scripts
The audio visualizer is wlourf's http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=8861782&postcount=175. I combined it with the album art pulled from Amarok. Here's how I done it:
First my directory...
Well, I got it to work:
I'm working on a new desktop and trying wlourf's Impulse script. It starts up ok and draws the initial graph, but then just sits there. It doesn't talk to pulseaudio.
I'm using conky 1.8.0. Is...
I've been playing around to get output from googlecl's calendar function into conky.
Here's the bash script, save it as ~/bin/listcal:
# Fetch gcal entries for specified time period...
Thanks, that works great :)
I did have to go back to my original convert command though, yours kept giving me syntax error near unexpected token `(' - all I needed to change was the filepath at...
I was going to try and improve it some more before posting the scripts. But as I have not really any bash or layout skills I might as well go ahead and see how you guys would improve it ;)
Finally found out way to display album art from Amarok 1.4 :)
That's good to know, I was going to install the Intrepid beta later on.
I still wonder though how sda7 and sda8 changed around, this had nothing to do with OpenSuse as far as I can see.
I thought that might be the case. Does an existing swap partition usually get formatted when installing a distro? Would it be best to use separate swap partitions when dual booting?
A few weeks ago re-partitioned the hard drive of my laptop as follows:
sda1 - / Ubuntu
sda2 - / for test install
sda3 - extended
sda5 - swap
sda6 - /home Ubuntu
sda7 -...
Actually, changing the label of the partition didn't change my original problem. Places still shows the partition size and not the label I assigned it, even after logging off/on.
I was able to change the label on just one partition. I keep getting the following message on the partitions of my 2 other drives:
e2label: Bad magic number in super-block while trying to open...
Before Hardy Nautilus used to display the names of the partitions as specified in fstab in the Places side pane, e.g. 'sda1'. Now it only displays the partition sizes, e.g. '300 GB Media'. I get back...
Thanks to the both of you. My Desktop is back to normal :)
I was playing around with the Wine desktop integration settings and somehow it renamed ~/Desktop folder to ~/Desktop.winecfg (or something similar) and I didn't notice it right away. The next time I...
The easiest way to do that is to open Applications > Accessories, then right-click on Terminal and select 'Add this launcher to desktop'.
Wow, this is really neat. It makes quite a difference. Thanks.

1990 Ford Bronco II SUV Eddie Bauer 2dr SUV 4WD
I bought it brand new and drove it in some of the most torturous weather conditions...winter in Alaska, winter in Upstate New York, winter and summer in Utah, and then back to Alaska. Yes, including the Alaska/Canadian Highway in both directions. The water pumps are a problem but other than that I did virtually nothing to it until it had over 250K miles. Still own it but only as a toy and memorabilia now. Hasn't been driven regularly since 2004 but a couple of months ago, I squirted a little starter fluid in the intake and it fired up. Not bad at all considering it had not budged in at least a year at the time.
Virtually indestructible! Most reliable car I have ever owned bar none! Actually fun to drive and has gone some off road places a full size vehicle would never have been able to go.
Water pump could use some work. I have replaced it 4 times in 18 years. And then, the oil pump screen clogged up at around 230K miles. Forgot about that one almost. Only time in 253000 miles it failed to take me where I wanted to go. I was about 10 miles from home.
1990 Ford Bronco II SUV Sport 2dr SUV 4WD
I've owned this for years, having purchased from original owner with 43,000. 23mpg in a 4WD is fine with me. Excellent balance for serious backwoods use. Highway power is low for passing, but fine for rock crawling and bogging or going skiing. This vehicle has been totally reliable and has never let me down in over 160,000 miles (total miles 233k) of some very tough use. No unusual expenses other than regular maintenance. Its not high performance, but a truly useful and practical vehicle. I don't believe any competing vehicle built in 1990 would hold up nearly as well, and it still looks good. I strongly recommend Bronco IIs.
Reliability; economy; maneuverability; off road traction and power. Low cost replacement parts.
More highway power without sacrificing mileage. Less wind noise.
1990 Ford Bronco II SUV XLT 2dr SUV
My 1st car in the USA, bought new,
faithfully served me with very little
problems now after 14 yrs & 200,000
genuine miles on the clock,its finally
showing some wear and needs extra TLC.
What a car!
1990 Ford Bronco II SUV XLT 2dr SUV 4WD
This truck has been the best vehichle I
have owned. It currently has 175,000
miles on it and runs like a top. I
hgave never met anything I couldn't
pull and all I have done to it is
replace the clutch. The only other
problem is the push button 4x4 does'nt
always engage on the first try. I had
a 1990 eddie bauer before and couldn't
keep the transmisson in it but my
current one is a 5-speed and has been
great. I highly recomend this suv.
Very reliable.
I've put over 20,000 miles on my B2
since I got it. I've done nothing to
it. It just keeps going, and going,
and going. It's the Energizer Bunny on
wheels. I've heard of reliability
problems with the tranny, but mines
fine. It's just a bit noisy. The
transfer case needed to be stronger as
well. I love mine though.
push button 4x4, large gas tank.
More power. I would have liked at
least 150 horse. Better rear springs.
And EASIER ACCESS TO SPARK PLUGS!

Serving as a big trading crossroad, all big powers have their outposts here, as do Drow. And where would a Drow city be located, but somewhere inside a rock. And when water came to life, a Drow fire angel (a name they named themselves, but nobody but them thinks they are even near the angles, and anybody can fly this days:), a Drow fire angel summoned a warrior made of burning stone, armed with a fire sword and magma shield, because, as we all know, nothing fights water as fire.
I am proud to present you Waterdeep, the jewel of the East:
(note: cloud is not badly photoshoped, it has here and there trans-clear slopes on both sides to sparkle (and every cloud has a silver lining:))
Views from all four sides: north-east-west-south
On a happy note: try and guess how high this 48x48 tower is (in meters), and the closest one will get "High-scout" title and twenty of those white 5x6 leaves ;)
And here are few details (click for larger):
In these details, you can spot a Drow fire angel and her fire summon, which is so big that is tearing apart that terrace and pillars, leaving havoc even on the floor (check for cheese slope mosaic details:) The lava from the monster is dripping trough the floor, making a canyon in rock, slithering to the water
A water nymph is meditating in one of the caves, totally unaware of the happening around her (find her:)
A lover (heh) is writing love poetry in another cave, can you find him? :)
There are numerous waterfalls, and the biggest one is more then 40 cm high :) Due to the big tree, waves of the water elemental, watch tower and spiral stairs, it is best viewd in "construction" folder.
I will let you find micro part yourself ;)
A water is falling somewhere beneath a cloud, filling a pond, and a typical Waterdeep silver oak is growing inside it, a young treant :)
Checkout the round watchtower and find an entrance in it! :)
The Drow outpost is carved in the mountain, and you can see two terraces (on the east and on the west side) buried deep into the mountain; on the south side you can see an old entrance, trough the caved in rock - check the ornament on the wall - there is nothing but air between those two rows of tiles, and that "air" line goes trough the whole castle (during construction, it was filled with black 1x8 tiles, and one of them was such a pain to dig out at the end :)
Notice round stairs coming from the wall on the south side
Terrace on the east side has a (large) secret entrance (great fit for flyers:). Can you spot it? There are two Drows playing cards inside :)
About the scale: here is a picture with my little helper; she is 180 cm tall (more on page 2 of this thread)
You've met Drow fire angel. Here are the others: Drow earth angel; Drow water angel and Drow wind angel. Also, there is that lucky Drow that was playing cards behind the secret entrance, also, I've never had a good name for this one, and I call him "a lover" :) The last one is a nasty slaver goblin, but during the taking of the picture, he was cast inside the mountain, into the deepest dungeon, just for being creepy :)
Main castle photographs (a lot of stuff here:)
Minifigures photographs (Drow rule supreme!)
Here you can see some other Drow cities from me:
Lith My'athar
Ched Nasad
Ust Natha
Twisted Tower of Ashaba
Ruined temple of Shar
Rilauven outpost in Mitgardia
Llurth Dreir
Mirage Dragon
Elesee Luna
And everything is nicely indexed in the topic Drow , featuring hundreds of minifigs in one place.

A monster Burmese python captured in the Everglades has broken the state size record.
The snake stretched 17 feet, 7 inches, and weighed 164 pounds.
It also had 87 eggs in its belly, also a state record.
University of Florida officials said the snake was taken to the Museum of Natural History last week from Everglades National Park.
After the snake is examined, it will be mounted for exhibition at the museum for five years, then returned for exhibition to the park.

Your Apple Tour of the Macintosh Plus version 2.0 released in 1988. This is a Disk Copy 4.2 image file of the original Mac Plus Tour floppy disk. StuffIt 3.5 was used for compression before uploading.Compatibility
This disk is bootable on a Mac Plus, it will also boot Mini vMac, however this is not advised as the mouse cursor fails to show if booted in Mini vMac (I needed to crash the tour). It runs fine on Mini vMac if you start up from your regular OS drive and mount the Tour disk as a secondary drive.
I recall this from the first Mac I ever could put my hands on. Really lovely tour, especially if you think about how the mainstream computers were operated in 1988.
@McIntosh: Rescued from a sidewalk toss-out about 10 years back. Along with the Mac Plus (still working) and a boxed set of "Risk Deluxe"

Preparedness = a state of readiness.
It is far better to plan and prepare than it is to simply react to hazards you may face. This concept is one that the Office of Emergency Management actively promotes on a daily basis. Perhaps you are considering what actions to take to keep your basement from flooding again. Or perhaps you are trying to decide if you should purchase a generator for your home. Often, the expenses incurred after a disaster will far exceed any cost related to preparing yourself and your family before the disaster ever strikes. This drive to mitigate the effects of a disaster is known as "resilience." The more resilient you are, the more rapidly you are able to recover from any type of disruption in your life. Personal preparedness leads to community resilience. What steps can you take today to ensure your personal preparedness?
To be the most disaster resilient community in America
The Springfield-Greene County Emergency Management Program along with community stakeholders strives to be a national model of best practices in mitigation, preparedness, response, and recovery against high-impact events to reduce loss of life, damage to property and harm to the environment. The Springfield-Greene County Emergency Management Program promotes enhanced regionalization of emergency management across southwest Missouri.
Springfield-Greene County's emergency management program received national accreditation from the Emergency Management Accreditation Program (EMAP) in April, 2012. EMAP is an independent & voluntary evaluation of state and local emergency management programs based on national best practices. At the time of our accreditation, Springfield-Greene County was one of only 13 local programs in the nation to be accredited by EMAP.
StormReady, a program started in 1999 in Tulsa, OK by the National Weather Service, helps arm America's communities with the communication and safety skills needed to save lives and property--before and during the event. StormReady helps community leaders and emergency managers strengthen local safety programs.
StormReady communities are better prepared to save lives from the onslaught of severe weather through advanced planning, education and awareness. No community is storm proof, but StormReady can help communities save lives.
Springfield-Greene County has been certified a StormReady Community since 2004.
Springfield-Greene County received Safe Communities America accreditation in 2007. Awarded by the World Health Organization Collaborating Center on Community Safety Promotion (WHOCCCSP) and the National Safety Council/Safe Communities America, Springfield- Greene County earned this designation due the region's commitment, innovative programs and community efforts to promote safety initiatives to prevent disabling accidents and needless deaths.

A curious complaint. When an east-Houma grocery store belonging to Terrebonne Parish Councilman Clayton Voisin was cited last week for having tainted goods on its shelves, Voisin was understandably upset.
It seems that Terrebonne health inspectors confiscated and disposed of seven to eight buggies of food at Houma Discount Market after a routine inspection revealed the food was unsuitable for sale.
Losing that much paid-for stock would upset most store owners, as would the thought that the health-department infractions could scare off some customers.
But Voisins beef is that The Courier found out about the infractions too quickly.
While his first thought should have been about his customers safety and public perception of his business, Voisin was more concerned that the local newspaper was keeping too close of an eye on him.
Something smells funny here, and its not just the spoiled food.
A deserving guy. Ex-Houma lawmaker Brig. Gen. Hunt Downer was appointed as the governors acting legislature director on Monday.
Downer, who serves as assistant adjutant general of the Louisiana Army National Guard and as secretary of the state Department of Veterans Affairs, will be directing Gov. Kathleen Blancos legislative efforts on an interim basis during this years regular session, which begins March 27.
After his tenure as Speaker of the House, there may be no more qualified person for this role than Downer.
With the state still reeling and trying to recover from hurricanes Katrina and Rita, its going to take someone with Downers experience to help get things moving to everyones satisfaction.
Were confident hes the man to get it done.
Great recognition. Its not often that the pastor gets surprised in the middle of his own churchs service, but thats happened to the Rev. Duane Bland, pastor of Thibodaux Family Church held.
The church received a presidential recognition for its members tremendous work after last falls hurricanes, but many members -- and the pastor -- were kept in the dark about the honor.
The recognition was announced at last Sundays service, and it was a great surprise for the pastor and the church members.
As member Elman Authement said, "Its only something if we continue to give and serve. Then its worth something."
Authement was being too modest. Sure, we should all strive to give and to serve.
But these folks really did their best in the wakes of the storms -- distributing food, clothing and other supplies and helping the evacuees housed at Nicholls State University.
Good work. The recognition was well deserved.
Whats the answer? No one knew all the answers at last weeks Trivia Night in Cut Off, but they all knew one thing: They were gathered for a good cause.
The trivia night, in its ninth year, is a fund-raiser for The Center in Cut Off, which helps people with developmental difficulties.
Eighty-nine teams of six competed for the top prize -- $400 -- and the last-place prize -- $200 to be used studying for next years event. Both "winners" donated the money back to the center.
The event raised more than $10,000 in entry fees, a great tribute to the caring and generous people and businesses who took part.
Congratulations to all the teams and especially to The Center, which does its generous and much-needed work all year long.

Ms. Fancy chattanooga #1766681
WOW! I remember feeling like this more times out of my life than not. You can do more things right than you could ever imagine. Sometimes we have to move self out of the way and let God have full control. I pray that you find the peace you need and the wisdom to know that you are phenomenal in every aspect of your life. No, we don't know each other but I just wanted to encourage you not to give up on yourself. Each day you arrise, validate yourself and know that "You are worth the fight"!!!! Live in forgiveness and peace.Reply
Candace #1769898
Michelle, I had to respond to your message, hate is such a strong word and I challenge you to look deep inside of yourself and ask yourself what is the one thing GOD would love about you..... Because he loves us in spite of all of our faults, so there would be many things he would love about you. The fact that you can say "you can't do nothing right" is an accomplishment because many people walk around thinking they do everything right, even though they don't and they are clueless. I work closely with young girls in the human trafficking world and I am sure if you spent a moment in their lives they would find something about you to be envious of....... Please reach out to a local group, volunteer, get involved and let GOD show you just how great you really are. May God's peace and blessings surround you.Reply
Sheneith Hawkins Dallas,Tx.
...Isn't it funny how we seem blinded to the warning signs that could have circumvented a bad choice? Those who have turned a deaf ear to the warning MISS the glaring issue that eventually leads to the demise of the deeper MORE FULFILLING RELATIONSHIP we desperately WANT & NEED! The glaring issue WILL VARY with the person & the relationship, BUT IS OFTEN an issue of possessiveness, jealousy, conflict management, OR communication that becomes insurmountable.

Amina Annabi
~ Person
