Wil Wheaton is Delivering the PAX East Keynote
He announced it on Twitter a couple of weeks ago with a fairly short announcement (since that is how Twitter works, after all), but all-around awesomefest Wil Wheaton will be delivering the PAX East Keynote only three years after delivering the PAX Prime keynote. It's okay, though – we love him. PAX has kept to the West Coast in the past, and PAX East is their very first East Coast effort. The convention will take place March 26-28 in Boston. Three-day passes are already sold out, but some single-day passes are still available. For more information, go to the official site.

Sid Meier's Civilization V is Official, Hitting Your PC This Fall
Start getting sleep in advance — 2K Games today announced that Sid Meier's Civilization V is officially being developed at Firaxis Games. The engine for this entry in the series has been rebuilt from the bottom up to provide better combat and more features. Civilization V introduces hexagon tiles (as seen to the left) allowing for deeper strategy and more realistic gameplay.

Upper Deck to discontinue the World of Warcraft TCG
Sadly in a press release today Upper Deck has confirmed that they will not be renewing their contracts with Blizzard to continue the WoW trading card or miniatures games. Citing a downturn in sales and a general slowing in the market as their reasons, Upper Deck plans to sell cards and minis through the end of March but after that no more card packs including the Class Starter Deck, Wrathgate Booster, Souls of Vengeance Starter, Deluxe Starter and Booster will not be released. "We are currently working with Blizzard Entertainment to facilitate a smooth transition as they work on their own plans for a World of Warcraft Trading Card Game. Further announcements on this transition will follow over the coming weeks." Now there was a blue post from Zarhym that confirms the statement above from Upper Deck and something tells me that the transition could be an easy transition butRead more →By stealthyslyth in News No comments yet
Guest Review: Marvels
The book Marvels is perfect for people who are sort of interested in super hero comics, but do not know a lot of the history. Writer: Kurt Busiek Artist: Alex Ross The story in Marvels follows Phil Sheldon, a news reporter fascinated with the cities superheroes or "Marvels" as he calls them. Marvels gives the reader the perspective of normal people and what it's like living in a town full of extraordinary people. The Marvels are misunderstood, feared, but also loved and cherished. As the story moved forward, so does Phil's views on the marvels. At the beginning he too is skeptical of them, almost afraid. As years past he begins to see that the heroes just want to save human kind, and instead of getting thanks they are met with fear. One thing I thought was interesting was how the X-men were portrayed. While other marvels were misunderstood theyRead more →
Innovative FPS "Section 8" Coming to PS3 – We Have Screenshots
PS3 users will finally get a chance to "burn-in" and join the fight on Section 8, TimeGate Studios' sci-fi multiplayer first-person shooter (no relation to District 9). The PlayStation 3 version has a full single-player campaign, instant action mode (with full bot support) and a robust multiplayer mode which includes 11 multiplayer maps, three of which are not included at retail on any other platform (so you automatically get what most people have to pay extra for, it sounds like). The full version of the game will be available for purchase on PlayStation Network in Spring 2010. Section 8 includes support for TimeGate Studios' TGNServer technology, which allows gamers to host 32 player games from their home PC. Players can configure map rotations, change server variables and set a remote admin password to administer the server in-game. Sure, it means you need to keep a computer nearby while you play,Read more →
Guest Preview – Demo of Alan Wake
Alan Wake: A mystery wrapped in an enigma wrapped in a game Publisher: Microsoft Game Studios Developer: Remedy Entertainment Release: May 18, 2010 (NA); May 21, 2010 (EU) Ladies and gentlemen, Alan Wake has entered the building… Finally. Very few games illicit the kind of anticipation created by the near-mythical title of Alan Wake. I say "near-mythical" because, after being introduced to many "oohs" and "ahhs" at E3 2005, it all but fell off the proverbial map and into the black hole of Duke Nukem Forever. Developer Remedy Entertainment quieted the pessimists in 2008 with a trailer, shown with the debut of the Max Payne movie and the promise of a 2010 release. But even this "proof of life" made controversy because, rather than making a world-wide splash like most games, it was a near-private affair when it was only seen in Remedy's home-nation of Finland.

Review: Romeo X Juliet – Collection 1 "Romeo"
"Romeo X Juliet" is your classic love story, but with a different twist. It incorporates the ideas of William Shakespeare's original story with ideas of the people at Studio GONZO to create a refreshing interpretation of a world renowned classic. Release Date: 21/10/2009 Languages: ENGLISH, JAPANESE Genre: Action/Adventure, Anime, Romance, Science Fiction Subtitles: ENGLISH subtitles Number of Discs: 2 Runtime: 300.0 mins We all know the story of "Romeo and Juliet" by William Shakespeare, so when it gets the anime treatment you're either going to love it or avoid it like the plague. In this version we meet Juliet disguised as a Zorro-style saviour who turns up just in time to save a girl who had been mistaken for Juliet herself. Romeo's father, Lord Montague, is scouring Neo Verona in search of her, and any girl is open to accusation. When Juliet was a small child, her family (known asRead more →

Hi all.
There is one thing that I can't understand: I have a Sun Blade 2000
workstation with two 73 GB HDs.
I have succesfully configured Solaris 10 on them, they are
mirrored and all goes fine.
But I can't figure out if, in case, I could replace them with two bigger
Since I come from the PC world, I imagine that the workstation could be
able to use, say, a 146 GB HD,... can someone tell me if thi is true or
Thanks and sorry for the language,... I'm not english.

[QUOTE=Paleobird;1022189]I'm at that stage where I don't have enough salt in the pepper to look elegantly silvery or snowy white. There is just enough grey hairs to look dishwatery. So, I color with henna. It doesn't trash your hair the way the chemical dyes do.[/QUOTE]
Same here! Question -- does the henna smooth the hair?
Mine are coming in wirey and course, slightly silver. I've had a box of henna coloring in my closet for over a year and just haven't pulled the trigger yet for fear of really messing it all up. I did try just getting highlights to try to disguise/blend the gray that was coming in but I've been told never to use henna before or after salon coloring (ex-husband was a cosmotologist). It's been well over a year since the highlights so I think it'll be fine to use the henna.
I'm just wondering if it smooths long, poofy locks.

The most recent short interest data has been released for the 06/30/2016 settlement date, and we here at Dividend Channel like to sift through this fresh data and order the underlying components of the S&P 500 by "days to cover." There are a number of ways to look at short data, for example the total number of shares short; but one metric that we find particularly useful is the "days to cover" metric because it considers both the total shares short and the average daily volume of shares typically traded. The number of shares short is then compared to the average daily volume, in order to calculate the total number of trading days it would take to close out all of the open short positions if every share traded represented a short position being closed.

Country Thunder 2013 sells out six months early
Hopefully any Wisconsin country music fans who were eager to party with the biggest stars this summer at Country Thunder were thinking way ahead and already purchased their tickets. The annual four-day country music festival in Twin Lakes is already sold out six months in advance of its July 18-21 run, event organizers announced Tuesday. In addition to all multi-day passes already being gobbled up, no single day tickets will be available either.
One of a large number of country festivals across Wisconsin each summer, Country Thunder has grown in recent years to draw fans from across the nation to camp out in Southeastern Wisconsin and see a lineup of some of the genre's biggest stars. Last year's festival attendance topped 33,000. That was also a sell out, but one that only came days before the festival began. »Read Full Blog Post(2)

Lackawanna's mayor has followed through on his threat to sue the City Council, and now what was already a mess has turned into an even larger one.
The issue is the huge gash the Council left in the salary for the public works commissioner. Mayor Geoffrey M. Szymanski has filed a complaint in State Supreme Court claiming the Council has usurped his exclusive powers as mayor to hire and fire department heads.
He's also hired outside counsel, the Bouvier Partnership law firm, to represent his administration in the legal action. Let's just say, for the record, this cannot be a good use of taxpayer money.
Rather than the two sides working out their differences, the public is getting another installment of the bickering between the Council and the mayor.
Szymanski has vigorously argued against Council efforts to slash the salaries of Public Works Commissioner Thomas N. Love and Comptroller Robert Marciniak. But back in June the Council cut the two salaries from about $30,000 each to just $10,000, in an effort to get them to quit.
Love resigned in mid-November. Marciniak submitted his resignation, but the Council later agreed on a deal that would extend his stay long enough to train his successor. Smart move, given that the city would have been without a fiscal officer legally able to move money between accounts.
Both Love and Marciniak will be fine. Marciniak spent 39 years as a city employee and earns a state pension of more than $40,000 a year. And the man in the crux of the lawsuit, Love, with 38 years as a city employee, is 59 with a state pension for 2012 listed at $84,389.
Neither man can earn more than $30,000 in city pay, the maximum allowed annually under state pension law. But the irony here is that these men actually saved the city money by working for $30,000. Hiring qualified replacements will cost the city far more than the $30,000.
The Lackawanna mayor promoted longtime public works employee Tony DeSantis to temporary commissioner of public works, but that appointment is only for 10 days. The Council and mayor need to return to solid ground and figure out a long-term solution – preferably one that does not involve them suing each other.
And the city's budget should reflect $58,000 as the full pay for the public works commissioner, as the mayor requested months ago. Lackawanna is going to need that full salary in order to attract a competent commissioner.
A similar dispute is taking place in Niagara Falls. The City Council took an ax to Mayor Paul A. Dyster's proposed budget, blocking what would have been an 8 percent tax hike and restoring half of the two dozen jobs that would have been cut from city government.
In the process, the Council cut the salaries of the city administrator by $40,000, to $70,000, and city engineer by $18,000, to $77,000. While the move makes the budget look healthier, it does not ensure the current officials will stay at the reduced salaries, or that the city will be able to attract anyone else to the jobs.
These questionable decisions by the two city councils are puzzling at best, hurtful to taxpayers at worst.

Managed chaos.
That's the definition of the humor that made columnist Dave Barry's maiden novel, "Big Trouble," such a wacky extravaganza.
It all begins when this weird guy moves into a tree. Or maybe it begins when a despicable guy tries to buy a nuclear missile. Possibly it begins when this high school guy signs up for a "killer" water gun game. Or when the hit guys show up.
Or maybe it all begins when the characters moved to Miami.
It's hard to tell, which is part of the fun of the book.
The movie "Big Trouble" isn't as snort-your-lung-out-your-nose funny as the book, but it's humorous enough and the direction by Barry Sonnenfeld is stylish.
But the chaos isn't managed quite as skillfully. For a movie, there are too many characters, and audience members who aren't familiar with the book may get lost in the maze of intersecting motives.
Tim Allen, Rene Russo, Stanley Tucci, Tom Sizemore and Janeane Garofalo are among the stars of this comic jambalaya. (PG-13; language, crude humor and sex-related material.) Grade: B-

Product Info
Program Selector Pro 2000/XP is a computer security program that provides access control and usage management. When installed, it replaces the standard Windows 2000/XP user interface (task bar, Start button, and icons) with a convenient user configurable list box of program names. The person who installs Program Selector Pro decides which programs to include in the list box, giving this person complete control over which programs can be run on that computer. In addition, each program on the list can be password protected, and a password can also be assigned to access Windows itself. A supervisor level password is required to add programs to (or remove programs from) the program list box. An administrative level password is required to restore the original Windows interface. This provides the person who installs Program Selector Pro with the ability to completely control the use of a Windows NT/2000/XP computer. This program is most useful in a business setting, where the supervisor needs the ability to control who can do what on each company computer. It can also be useful in a family setting, however, to give parents control of the computer to block children from using certain programs. Virus protection and a program uninstall feature are also provided by Program Selector Pro.

|my tribute to franz kafka
society, state and religion."
the four major portions of this kafka site are kafka's works (the few that i have here), my interpretations of those works, other resources for finding out information on kafka and his stories, and links to other kafka websites. if you're a student looking for help on a paper, please check out the resources section, because, chances are, the question you're asking has already been asked- and answered.
but a quick note about me- i majored in business marketing in college, and i've never read kafka for any class in my life. a friend of mine introduced me to his works, and he's been one of my favorite authors ever since. however, if you're a student looking for help on a paper, keep in mind that none of what i've written is necessarily "right." feel free to write me and ask questions, and i'll help as much as i can, but your prof, notes and your own ideas are your most trustworthy sources.

According to Traxxas, this engine will produce 20% more power than
the TRX-12, which is approximately 9-11% more power than the OS
CZ-Z. These figures are tested on a dyno (loaded) which provides
power curves on a computer. Traxxas was not able to provide any
numbers on BHP, bore, stroke etc. Keep in mind that these figures
are often useless, as they will vary from engine to engine. And
there are other variables to consider: the kit, terrain, %nitro
in fuel, etc......
Overall Length (front end of shaft to back of starter): 92mm (3-5/8")
Height (top of cylinder head to bottom of backplate): 93mm (3-5/8")
Width (cylinder head): 41mm (1-1/2")
Mount holes (center to center): left to right: 31mm (1-1/4")

For the Pro 15 with the Long Crankshaft, use TRAG4009.
For the Pro 15 w/Short Crankshaft, W/O Pull Start, use TRAG4004.
If you have any other kit, I would call that manufacturer
or call Traxxas directly at 1-888-TRAXXAS.
Traxxas engines run much hotter than "normal" engines (O.S., ASP,
ThunderTigre, etc.). Therefore, Traxxas recommends their Top Fuel
(TRAP5010) and their glow plug (TRAG3230) to run the engine cooler.

Alternative and Plus Loans
PLUS and Alternative Loans
PLUS Eligibility
Parents of dependent undergraduate students may choose to apply for a PLUS loan to assist in meeting the cost of education. The student must be attending school at least a half-time (6 credit hours for undergraduate students) in an approved program. Approval for a PLUS loan is based on a credit check. However, this credit check is more modest as it is not usually debt-to-income or credit score driven. Rather, it determines whether the parent has an adverse credit history. An adverse credit history is defined as being 90 or more days late on any debt or having Title IV debt (including a grant overpayment) within the past five years subjected to default determination, bankruptcy discharge, foreclosure, repossession, tax lien, wage garnishment, or write-off.
Students whose parents are unable to obtain a credit approval for a PLUS loan may qualify for additional funding through the Federal Stafford loan program. Parents who wish to apply for a PLUS loan must first complete a FAFSA form.
PLUS Interest Rates and Fees
For Direct PLUS Loans first disbursed on or after July 1, 2013, and before July 1, 2014, the interest rate is 6.41%. For Direct PLUS Loans first disbursed on or after July 1, 2014, and before July 1, 2015, the interest rate is 7.21%. These are fixed interest rates for the life of the loan.
Each Federal PLUS Loan disbursement is subject to a 4.288% origination fee which is taken from the value of the loan. The loan amounts listed on a Financial Aid Award Notice represent the gross amount of the loan (amount before the fees have been paid).
Applying for a Federal PLUS Loan

A new technologically-advanced elementary school of the Sulphur Springs School District opened its doors to students for the first time Thursday.
Golden Oak Community School, the ninth school in the district, offers new technological tools such as interactive white boards and surround sound, according to Principal Gayle Abril.
The new equipment allows teachers to project teaching material onto their boards straight from their computers with magnifying capabilities, Abril said.
Teachers are also able to capture images and project them on the boards through live-streaming. Abril said the surround sound system is another feature that makes the school "technology SMART."
"All of our teachers are miked and we have four speakers, so students sitting in the back of the room can hear just as well," she said.
She added that Golden Oak, along with Leona Cox and Sulphur Springs community schools, will be the first to host the district's new kindergarten program.
Golden Oak Community School was built to serve 500 students, but only about 405 students are currently enrolled.
Abril said the campus is intended to serve residents in the to-be-developed Golden Valley Ranch. The school currently serves students who have transferred from Fair Oaks Ranch and Valley View community schools, she said.
She said the first day went just as planned.
The school will host a dedication ceremony on Friday, Sept. 26 at 9 a.m. on campus, where the campus' funder and developer, Pardee Homes, will dedicate the school to the district.

The Baby in the Iceboxby James M. Cain Roy Hoopes
A collection of stories, both early and late, that show how James M. Cain made his nameThere is a hungry tiger loose in the house, and that is not good news for anyone. A jealous husband let the animal out of his cage hoping he would eat his wife alive, but tigers aren't used to taking orders. This jungle cat will get his meal, and he doesn't care where it comes from."The Baby in the Icebox" begins with a murdered wildcat and ends with a dead human--and what comes in between is some of the most striking prose James M. Cain ever put to paper. It is one of the first stories this master of crime fiction ever wrote, and it shows all the hallmarks of the novels that would later make him famous--namely Double Indemnity and The Postman Always Rings Twice. The tales in this collection are short, but Cain never needed more than a few pages to thrill.

Career in C Majorby James M. Cain Roy Hoopes
From a famous tough-guy writer, a collection of shockingly funny storiesEver since she got married, Doris has regretted giving up her singing career. After years of domestic drudgery, she decides to take one last crack at becoming an opera singer, even if it means sacrificing everything for the sake of her dream. Her contractor husband is fully supportive, having no idea that the family's true musical genius isn't Doris--it's him.In this and other stories in Career in C Major, James M. Cain shows off a light comedic touch that will surprise readers who are familiar only with his crime novels The Postman Always Rings Twice and Double Indemnity. But Cain had been publishing funny stories, articles, and satire since his early days as a reporter for H. L. Mencken's Baltimore Sun, and was just as comfortable writing about singers as he was about killers. This collection of Cain's lighter work shows that if an author is tough it doesn't mean he can't crack a smile.

The fellowship, named after a BC Law Alumnus, convinced Kidd that he wanted to pursue a legal career. "I was able to witness how great an impact the law has on every facet of society," he says. "Learning about Judge Nelson's legacy was a source of inspiration that still motivates me today."
When looking at law schools, he was impressed with BC's reputation in the South, where he attended college. "I learned about alumni such as Lamar Willis [Atlanta City Council Member] and Thomas Cox [partner at Miller & Martin] who work so hard to uphold BC's commitment to community service," he says. "Their loyalty to the BC Law community really drew me here."
During his first year, Kidd has found that community to be both welcoming and energizing. "The professors love what they do, and this comes across in the classroom, in their office, or simply chatting with them in cafeteria," he says. "The second- and third-year students make the incoming students feel comfortable and help guide them through their first year…the camaraderie of my classmates dispelled the notion that law school is an isolating experience."
Kidd was a 1L representative for the Black Law Student Association, and serves as the group's Vice-President this year. After his first year he worked as a summer associate at Palmer & Dodge LLP in Boston. After graduation he wants to stay in Boston, working in the areas of labor & employment, real estate, and civil rights. "My goal is to contribute to Boston's inner city, and ultimately to become a judge."

Help with Mastermind in C!
Hey guys, im developing for my class a simple masterming game, i have accomplished allot and im feeling very good, but im having troubles going forward. After i declare some rules and some integers and stuff, my program doesn't recognize any new functions.. can someone check out my code and see what am i doing wrong??
HTML Code:
Re: Help with Mastermind in C!
Also I want to know if there is a way to force the program to go from leerVariables1() to leerVariables2(), because thats where the problem is.. everytime I set some rules for leerVariables2() when executing i dont get anything on screen!
Re: Help with Mastermind in C!
What errors do you get when you try to compile the code? It's not clear what you mean by "my program doesn't recognize any new functions".
"and" is not a C keyword. Use && for logical and, or & for bitwise and.
To go from leerVariables1() to leerVariables2() you can just call them one after the other, for example:
void func()

An unexpected death at a soccer event on Sunday in Allentown has some community leaders saying something needs to be done to ensure the safety of those who attend any large public event in the city.
Allentown resident, Luis Romero, says he was refereeing a game on Sunday at Fountain Park, when 42-year-old Luis Carlos Torres suddenly collapsed after playing.
"There was a lot of commotion when he fainted. There were many people surrounding him and he didn't receive enough first aid," said Romero.
City officials say first responders arrived within 10 minutes, and transported Torres to the hospital, but he didn't make it.
Friends say Torres died due to a blood clot that had traveled to his heart.
City councilwoman and CPR instructor Cynthia Mota, says she plans to propose legislation that would place a first aid tent at sporting, civic and social events with large crowds.
"I really believe we should do something about this. It should be a must that we have a first aid tent whenever we have such a big event; it should be the law," said Mota.
Frank Ortiz, coach for the Allentown youth soccer club, thinks the tent is an excellent idea, but adds it never hurts for others to get certified.
"I think it's very important to at least have some kind of knowledge or some kind of skills or have someone nearby to be ready in case there is an emergency," Ortiz said.
What constitutes a large crowd and who would pay for the first aid tents remains to be seen.
However councilwoman Mota says she plans to introduce legislation as soon as possible.

North Carolina Artists Speak Out Against Amendment One
By Chris Toenes
shirlette ammons (mosadi music, collaborator with Dynamite Brothers)
Amendment One is messed up on so many levels. As an openly Queer Black Woman Artist, I see the intersections of racism, classism, and homophobia in the fine print of Amendment One, efforts to disavow the various ways we define family. My beautiful and brilliant partner of 8 years works with an organization called SONG (Southerners On New Ground). SONG is part of the Coalition to Protect North Carolina Families' Steering Committee and Kai (my partner) and I have extensive 'pillow talks' about the numerous ways this amendment endangers the fundamental human rights of dignity and safety for all people. I am also a part of a community (artists, organizers, activists, etc.) that works everyday toward a liberation of ideas, actions, choices and bodies. I would further posit that NC is in the midst of a creative and cultural shift and our voices are important in defining the south (and the world) we want to live and love in. Defeating Amendment One is imperative to that process.
Sara Bell (Lud, Regina Hexaphone, Shark Quest)
One of the things that always makes me proud to be from North Carolina is our state's amazing civil rights legacy. The Freedmen's Convention. Cherokee resisters and Henry Berry Lowrey. The Durham Manifesto. Sit-ins in Durham and Greensboro. The first SNCC meetings held at Shaw University. Dean Smith and Charlie Scott integrating ACC basketball — and Chapel Hill restaurants in the process. The list is so long. For every heroic success here has been a bloody struggle, but history always shows how disgusting hatred and bigotry reveal themselves to be. All of these insane attempts to legislate marriage will prove to be just as ugly, but it's not going to happen without a fight. We can't let this amendment pass. This is our Brown v. Board of Education, people: get ready, there's a train a-coming…
Dave Cantwell (Cantwell Gomez and Jordan, In the Year of the Pig)
My main problem with this proposed amendment is not that I "have gay friends" or anything like that, but that in our country, we simply do not put basic right up to a vote. The principles represented in the Bill of Rights are there to protect the minority voice, as undemocratic as that may seem. Even if a majority of people thought gay marriage was "icky," that has nothing to do with the rights homosexuals are due; it's just not a situation in which the majority rules.
Perhaps we caused problems when we decided to make marriage an institution of government. But, that's the system we have. And we are not in the business of systematically denying rights to others — even if most people think we should.
Kerry Cantwell (Actual Persons Living or Dead)
There has not yet been a firm, logical argument against gay marriage that withstands the test of reason: religious debates avoid Jesus' New Covenant (to love others as He has loved us), HIV/AIDS debates are all debunked by the CDC, arguments that gays can't procreate are ridiculous (just ask my gay friends who are parents), and the "What's next? Marrying your children?" argument is a ridiculous slippery slope fallacy. The truth: if we let gays marry, then we have to acknowledge that they are human, like "us." We have to validate their existence as legitimate, and that scares the hell out of people who just don't know any better. Look at history: we fear what we don't know. We'd rather keep marriage for the straight "good Christian" people who, perhaps, have serial marriages, withstand abusive relationships, give birth out of wedlock, transmit STDs through extramarital affairs, who then go pray for the souls of the damned on Sunday than to let two people who love each other and are committed to each other have a chance to screw it up the way straights do.
John Darnielle (the Mountain Goats)
I've been married since 1998, and in 2011, we welcomed our son Roman to the world right here in North Carolina. The bonds that unite us as a family are the same bonds that unite all families: love, trust, commitment. These sacred bonds also unite us with people who love one another everywhere: in our community, in our state, in our country, around the world and across the ages. They are the same for all people no matter who they love. "The institution of marriage" isn't threatened by gay marriage: it is strengthened by it; when we welcome all who love into a circle, what force can stand against it?
I brag on North Carolina everywhere I go. People talk a lot of trash about the South, but it was other states that wrote hatred into their constitutions, not us. I am hoping hard that my fellow North Carolinians, both natives and people like myself who feel like we've finally come home, will vote to allow everyone to celebrate their love in the same way.
Jeffrey Dean Foster (longtime Winston-Salem Americana artist)
Amendment One should be voted down because it threatens all civil unions and domestic partnerships. If passed it would effect domestic violence prevention, end of life decisions, hospital visitation and child custody rights. But really, amending our state constitution to specifically deny civil rights to any group of tax-paying, law-abiding citizens is simply wrong. It seems designed to demonize and hurt the LGBT community specifically. I love North Carolina and the fact that it is a melting pot of cultures and opinions, not all of which I agree with, but which make it a richly woven place to live. I wouldn't want it any other way. Vote NO on Amendment One.
Pierce Freelon (The Beast)
My older brother is getting married to his fiancé this July. Their marriage would have been illegal in the state of North Carolina 50 years ago because ignorant and bigoted North Carolinians believed that God intended for marriage to be between one white man and one white woman. Under the guise of "defending traditional marriage" North Carolinians like the late Senator Jesse Helms sought to rally his base by playing on their fears of integration, posing questions like "do you want your son or daughter to marry a Negro?"— and advocating for same-race marriage legislation.
Thank God justice and common sense prevailed and those laws were overturned.
Most North Carolinians will agree that legalizing interracial unions did not hurt traditional marriage. On the contrary, my brother and his fiancé, and other interracial couples, have strengthened the institution of marriage by making it more inclusive, and reflective of the community. Strength comes from love and inclusiveness — not from divisive bigotry.
Just a few decades later, we're facing the same legacy of close-mindedness manifested in Amendment One, which seeks to define marriage in the state of North Carolina as between one man and one woman. The arguments are identical to the arguments used against interracial marriage, with opponents claiming "this is what God intended" and "we're defending traditional marriage." Trampling the civil rights and dignity of the LGBT community does not "defend" traditional marriage — it weakens it and denies a valued part of our community equal protection under North Carolina law. This is wrong.
And if defending "traditional marriage" means my brother and his fiancé wouldn't be able to get married this summer, or my Jewish band-mate and his Christian wife wouldn't have been able to get married, or my gay and lesbian friends, colleagues and community members are treated as second-class citizens — then we need to bury traditional marriage with Jesse Helms.
Shirlé Hale (Free Electric State)
A vote AGAINST Amendment One is a vote FOR the rights of Families and their children, no matter what type of family.
Certainly, in this day and age, the expression of love, in no matter what form, should be held in the highest regard and the rights of those expressing that love should be protected, not shattered.
To quote JFK, "The rights of every man are diminished when the rights of one man are threatened."
Jenks Miller (Mount Moriah, Horseback)
Amendment One is a travesty of governance. It thrusts our state government into areas that are absolutely inappropriate for any democratic government's involvement. It is a desperate attempt to further entrench bigoted ideas whose time has long since passed. It is shameful. I'm confident the people of North Carolina will vote it down.
Shane Perlowin (Ahleuchatistas)
The fact that a measure to write discrimination into our state constitution is on the ballot seems an unfathomable throwback to darker times. Miserable people in power wish to deny human rights to citizens of this state… How poisonous and disgusting. It should go without saying that I fully support the right of the LGBT community to have their partnerships recognized under the law should they choose to marry.
Nathan Price (DiggUp Tapes)
Nathan Price of DiggUp Tapes believed the amendment issue was so important he is setting up an awareness show with multiple bands at Kings Barcade. The event is May 4 at Kings Barcade, with a lineup to be announced.
Many of the campaign events are to the LGBT crowd that are already paying attention and will already be voting against it. Something like this will help spread the word to people who wouldn't normally vote who could tip it to our side and we need that shit cause the polling shows it's gonna be close. The main focus of this is not to raise money, just to get the word out so anyone who can vote, will go vote against it.
Letha Rodman-Melchior (Dan Melchior und das Menace)
One of the things I love most about North Carolina is the acceptance of all that live here. It, to me, has been a place that is open to all walks of life, a beautiful place where everyone belongs, where everyone can be exactly who they truly are. I think all families should be protected, everyone should have equal rights, what does it matter if people are married or not. I have friends that are not married that have children — why should they be treated differently than a family that has a document?
Amendment One is something I cannot understand — it is absolutely outrageous. The amount of people that would be harmed is frightening. If North Carolina passes Amendment One, then I'd be forced to leave North Carolina.
Scott Weaver (Snagglepuss, Babyshaker)
I feel three things when the subject comes up: Bored, because it shouldn't still be an issue; saddened, because I know that people can be quite cruel, even regarding love and people's differences; and pissed off, because I will not be judged, regulated, or treated by anyone as a second class citizen. It's important to inject these feelings into the music that you make, even if it's not direct. I have always been able to put it out there in Babyshaker and Snagglepuss, and am lucky to have band mates who not only support me in that, but also walk the walk when it comes to standing up for what's right.
Isaac Jones (Braveyoung)
This should provide ample proof of the backwards nature of our political system. People building careers off of bigotry. People imposing an out-dated and arbitrary morality onto those who elected them into their position. It's a completely detestable game these people play with our lives. Anyone who thinks hetero-normativity is the only answer for healthy families is willfully ignorant and has absolutely no right to sit in a position of power. Fortunately, the facts are on the side of the LGBT community, and the nonsense these dogmatists spew makes less and less sense as time marches forward. We will unravel it, with or without the imposition of law.
Graham High (Museum Mouth)
The great (pronounced horrendous) thing about Amendment One is that it says, Hi. We're North Carolina. If some of our state representatives have the remotest moral conflict with the person you are, they will not only make whatever you do illegal, they will make it DOUBLE ILLEGAL. That's right, they'll pass a law and then write a constitutional amendment tailored specifically to discriminate against you and other people like you.
Trying to wrap my mind around how this even made it to the ballot makes me nauseous. You can't talk compassion to anyone these days. It's forbidden in today's politics. I can't help but think that we have to wait for the next few generations of extreme "family values" politicians to be flushed out of our government before any progress is made for gay rights. And I'll be dead long before then.

Officially announced earlier this month, the new 11.6-inch ultraportable MSI Wind U270-030 in AMD platform with Brazos APU Zacate Dual Core E-350, matte panel, USB 3.0 and HDMI.
This model is also equipped with the Eco-tech engine with 5 preset modes including Turbo Battery + to get the best possible independence as well as to recharge quickly iCharger small devices via USB.
We thus find an APU (Accelerated Processing Unit) Zacate Dual Core E-350 which delivers better performance than Atom, but is less powerful than a Core i3 380UM example.
Coupled with 2GB of RAM onboard, it ensures proper functioning in basic use, or in the office and surf the Internet, allowing some applications not too resource intensive running simultaneously (eg browser with multiple tabs, media player playing music , word processing).
In addition, the APU integrates some Radeon HD6310M able to play videos without worrying what is HP 1080p Intel GMA X3150 incapable of Pineview Atom. If the Radeon HD6310M also delivers better performance than the latter in the game, it quickly shows its limits in this area.However, it will be possible to engage in securities not too resource intensive 3D as long as it adapts the level of details and / or screen resolution.

I am blessed by two adorable nephews that took this trip to a whole new level. My oldest nephew, Emory, played at the beach from sun up to sun down and definitely kept us on our toes all week. He is a ball of energy and brings so much joy to our lives. I think he would have been just fine if our vacation had never ended, as I would have been as well.
For my birthday my mom got me the cookbook from the famous bakery in San Francisco, Miette. I have had my eye on this book for a long time, so I was very excited when I unwrapped it and started to read. There is a recipe in here for graham crackers, which is the recipe I used, that looked so good that I had to come up with some cookie using them. I came up with this bar because who does not like the classic combination of chocolate, graham cracker, and marshmallows. Unfortunately I knew that we would have no campfire on our vacation so I decided to make a bar to mock a s'more.
I had my doubts about them because they were messy, gooey and a creation I made up; but these were delicious. You have to keep them refrigerated because of the marshmallow, but that only enhanced the flavor. The graham cracker brought enough salt in it to even out the sweetness of the marshmallow fluff, which made for a perfect bar.
