I'm prepared to take my chances.
see Walt, TRUTH is often inconvienient for those of you who are apologists for the HATEFILLED damnyankee extremists/racebaiters/liars of northeastern academia. filth WHITEWASHED is still FILTH.
for TRUTH & dixie,sw
why didn't you know it? or did you know it and choose to discount the TRUTH?
But like the rest of the neo-confederate crazies, you can't provide a shred of proof for your position.
but then the damnyankee elites were always self-righteous "do as we say, not as we do" types. nothing has changed after all these years;northeastern academics are STILL trying to cover up the LIES and WAR CRIMES of the damnyankee army. thankfully there's not that much dirt on earth.
Show me.
BTW, the reason that there are so many buildings in northern VA that claim to be the boyhood home of REL is that he and his mother lived with whichever relative could afford to feed, clothe & find them a bed to sleep in. after Lighthorse Harry Lee died, the Lees were "gentille poor".
for TRUTH & dixie,sw
Now, you can't go quoting documents or persons from the time of the Civil War, that's revisionism in SW's eyes don't you know. :^)
Even if it's true, it's because those Southern hospitalitists didn't allow education to most of their slaves. Amazing what you can pull over the people's eyes when you don't allow them to learn.
Bill Clinton's popular too. That doesn't mean crap.
Well, what does he say?
Presumably he says that there were no more than a handful of black CSA soldiers, because the record is pretty conclusive that that is what happened.
"As early as 1863, a few voices in the Confederacy had called for the enlistment of black slaves into the Confederate armed forces, but most remained opposed to such a policy, which would have violated the predominant assumption that blacks were racially inferior. However, as the military situation worsened for the Confederacy in the fall of 1864, the controversial idea resurfaced with greater force. That September, Union newspapers published a letter confiscated from Governor Henry W. Allen of Louisiana in which he urged the Confederacy to arm every able-bodied Negro. A few weeks later, the influential Richmond Enquirer expanded the suggestion to endorse emancipation and equal treatment of black soldiers in return for military service to the Confederacy.
The federal Congress had approved the use of blacks in the Union military in July 1862, and their recruitment began in earnest after the Emancipation Proclamation of January 1, 1863. Almost 200,000 black men served as soldiers, sailors, or laborers for the Union armed forces during the Civil War.
The first major proposal for arming slaves and free blacks in the Confederacy was the Cleburne Memorial presented by General Patrick Cleburne, an Army of Tennessee division commander, to an officers meeting on January 2, 1864. By that time, there was a serious need to replace the dwindling number of servicemen in the Confederate military, which was about a third of the size of the Union forces. Cleburne told the assembled officers that the Confederacy was losing because of the lack of soldiers and that slavery, which had been a source of strength at the beginning of the war, was now a detriment to survival. In order for the Confederacy to defend its independence, it would have to give up slavery and arm black men.
The Cleburne Memorial was notable because it was made by a well-respected military leader, not a politician or journalist, and it went beyond any previous proposal to urge complete emancipation, rather than conscription without emancipation or emancipation only for servicemen. Cleburnes commanding officer, General Joseph E. Johnston, refused to forward the memorandum to the Confederate government in Richmond, Virginia, but an angry fellow general, W. H. T. Walker of Georgia, did, along with his vehement protest. President Jefferson Davis ordered the suppression of the proposal and any discussion of it, although it continued to be debated acrimoniously among Confederate officers. Cleburne stayed out of the fray, but was passed over for promotion three times during the following eight months.
In February 1864, the Confederate Congress did authorize, at Daviss request, the use of 20,000 free blacks and slaves (who remained the legal property of their owners) in noncombatant roles, such as cooks, laborers, nurses, and teamsters. In September 1864, Atlanta fell to the Union, General William T. Sherman began his March to the Sea, and the Confederacy suffered other military setbacks. At that point, some Southerners became more vocal about the need to consider the use of black troops. Besides Governor Allen, a group of six other governors endorsed a change of policy concerning the use of slave in the public service. The Richmond Enquirers approval of arming the slaves was echoed by the Mobile Register and other journals. On November 7, 1864, President Davis unveiled a surprise in his otherwise predictable address to the Confederate Congress. He argued that the use of slaves in noncombatant roles for limited periods had not worked as well as expected, so he asked the Confederate Congress to purchase 40,000 slaves to be used for extended tours of noncombatant duty. The due compensation for the increased hazards and commitment should be emancipation at the end of their loyal service. Davis did not request authorization to use the slaves as soldiers, but he held out that possibility if the only alternative was subjugation of the Confederacy. The Confederate Congress did not act on the plan, but the issue of arming the slaves was thereafter debated vigorously until the end of the war.
Opposition to arming the slaves remained strong, led in the press by the Richmond Examiner and the Charleston Mercury, and in the political arena by Congressman R. M. T. Hunter of Virginia, speaker pro tem of the Confederate Senate, and Governors Zebulon Vance of North Carolina and Joe Brown of Georgia. Howell Cobb warned, If slaves will make good soldiers[, then] our whole theory of slavery is wrong. On the other hand, most of Daviss cabinet supported the policy, although Secretary of War James Seddon was unenthusiastic.
As the Confederate military situation went from bad to worse in the winter of 1864-1865, President Davis sent Confederate Congressman Duncan Kenner of Louisiana, a long-time advocate of arming slaves, on a secret diplomatic mission in late January 1865. In a last ditch effort to convince Britain and France to issue formal recognition of Confederate independence, Davis was willing to offer emancipation of the slaves. Through indirect channels, Napoleon III of France deferred to Britain, whose prime minister, Lord Palmerston, resolutely refused. Although disappointed by the outcome of the Kenner mission (which had become publicly known), it was the failure of the Hampton Roads Peace Conference in early Februarya final attempt to secure Confederate independence and a negotiated end to the warthat amplified the call for arming the slaves. Mass meeting were held across the Confederacy at which, among a general show of Southern patriotism, the radical policy was supported.
On February 10, 1865, Ethelbert Barksdale of Mississippi introduced a bill on the floor of the Confederate Congress to arm the slaves. Within days, General Robert E. Lee, commander of the Confederate armed forces, endorsed the measure and the Davis administration put its authority behind the bill. Former foes in the press, like the Richmond Examiner, now switched their editorial position to favor arming the slaves. The bill passed on March 13, but with opposition still substantial (winning by just a vote in the Senate) and without rewarding the armed slaves with emancipation. However, on March 23, the Davis administrations executive order to implement the act added the stipulations that a slave must agree to enlistment and that his master must consent in writing to grant him, as far as he may, the rights of a freedman. The executive order also required that the black soldiers receive equal treatment with their white comrades.
The recruitment of black Confederate soldiers began, with the first black company formed in Richmond on March 25. The Confederate capital fell just over one week later, and General Lee surrendered to the Union commander, General Ulysses S. Grant, on April 9, 1865. To most white Confederates, the arming and emancipation of black slaves was a desperate measure taken out of military necessary in the final days of the Civil War. It did not emancipate all of the slaves, nor did it abolish slavery as an institution. The latter was accomplished by the Thirteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution in December 1865, with much reluctance on the part of white politicians in the South."
-- Robert C. Kennedy
Of course the reason for the recruitment of black soldiers was because the white soldiers were deserting in droves.
i don't think i said that popularity of Davis had any thing to do with who would have been elected if the southland had won her war for independence.
BTW, the klintoonista of the 19th century was the warcriminal/tyrant/arch-liar/despot lincoln. he and clinton could be brothers, except they are separated in time by a century. neither cared for ANYTHING but $$$$$$$$ and personal power.
for dixie,sw
you really should read something by BLACK southron intellectuals to balance the revisionist,southron-hating, arrogant,hatefilled,ignorant, damnyankee propaganda that you spout. for example at Morehouse College in Atlanta there are over 300 graves of BLACK rebel soldiers, who died bravely in the battle for atlanta, buried under Graves Hall. it is now a men's dormitory AND the SCV is preparing to endow a history chair in their memory AND place a memorial plaque on the dorm wall. FYI, unless it's been removed recently, check out the college web-site for further info. you lose again.
as an example of the LIES told by the damnyankee academics, they KNOW that there were FEW SLAVES in the PACSA, BUT that there were MANY THOUSANDS of FREE MEN, who were black that bravely served the TRUE CAUSE. for TRUTH and dixie,sw
the Museum of the Confederacy is NOT esteemed by southrons, as it is and has been in damnyankee-apologist LIBERAL hands for >25 years.
Look who's talking. You keep saying I said that the North fought for slavery. The North fought to preserve the union.
i don't think i said that popularity of Davis had any thing to do with who would have been elected if the southland had won her war for independence.
It doesn't matter. You lost. Get over it.
BTW, the klintoonista of the 19th century was the warcriminal/tyrant/arch-liar/despot lincoln. he and clinton could be brothers, except they are separated in time by a century. neither cared for ANYTHING but $$$$$$$$ and personal power.
The only ones in the 1860's that cared about money and power were the slaveowners. Filthy lucre and tyranny dictated their life.
the damnyankees fought to keep the southland poor,subserviant and under the damnyankee boot heel. no other reason is as important to damnyankee elitists as $$$$$$$$ AND personal power.
they certainly cared NOTHING for the plight of the slaves in dixie OR damnyankeeland.
once again, do you UNDERSTAND the difference in reasoned response and just posting un-thinking bunk?
for dixie,sw
SW has selective memory on a lot of things. LOL
Just like today and the servants of public officials?
No, you keep saying we said the union fought to free the slaves. Post #256 is an example. Learn to read.
the damnyankees fought to keep the southland poor,subserviant and under the damnyankee boot heel. no other reason is as important to damnyankee elitists as $$$$$$$$ AND personal power.
The secessionists were the ultimate tyrannists, they seceded to keep people enslaved to them and to reap the filthy lucre from it.
they certainly cared NOTHING for the plight of the slaves in dixie OR damnyankeeland.
The Radical Republicans did. Remember John Brown?
once again, do you UNDERSTAND the difference in reasoned response and just posting un-thinking bunk?
Unthinking bunk is your specialty.
Get out of your fantasyland, you lost, get over it. LOL
i would think you south-haters would welcome our departure!
Nope. We need somewhere to ship all our old people. All those Ensure sipping, grocery store griping, turn signal forgetting, doing-25-in-a-50-zone driving old folks are part of a grand plot to continue punishing you for the rebellion.
the radical republicans in 1861 numbered in the few thousands. it was only after the damnyankees conquered the south that the mass of northerners became RRs.
one noted African American professor from Grambling University says that you couldn't have found 10,000 people in the whole nation who cared a damn about ending slavery and FEW who would have fought even a skirmish over slavery.
from the northern perspective, the WBTS was just about POWER & $$$$$$$$$. all the whitewash in the world will not cover up that TRUTH!
for dixie liberty,sw
those you're welcome to!
when southron liberty comes, let's make a deal. = we send you all the socialists/nere-do-wells/liberals/socialists/etc and we'll take all the "snowbirds"- then we'll all be happy!
for dixie liberty,sw
I like the South. You Civil War whiners are a minority in the South and are sore losers and can't let go of your defeats. I enjoy proving your opinions silly.
frankly, most southrons i know would think you only semi-literate in the history of the WBTS,based on your obvious/simplistic/un-knowledgeable responses.
we aren't sore losers-any more than the nations still subject to russian domination are sore losers because they continue to desire freedom.
the LUST for LIBERTY is a positive and GOOD thing.
for TRUTH & dixie,sw
Oh boy, I bet you guys are a barrel of laughs when you get together.
...would think you only semi-literate in the history of the WBTS,based on your obvious/simplistic/un-knowledgeable responses.
You're posting a lot of words but not saying anything.
we aren't sore losers-any more than the nations still subject to russian domination are sore losers because they continue to desire freedom.
At least they're doing something about it. Instead of whining to me every day, why don't you do something about it?
the LUST for LIBERTY is a positive and GOOD thing.
Men of action change the world. Uneducated namecalling malcontents are just background noise.
for dixie,sw
Make up your mind. First you call America tyrannical, then you say it's a free republic. Which is it?
it's the hatefilled,racebaiting,anti-semitic,arrogant,anti-gun,pro abortion,ignorant,south-hating, extremist, mean-spirited, liberal damnyankees who are TYRANTS & DAMNFOOLS.
for dixie,sw
Then you shouldn't have seceded.
it's the hatefilled,racebaiting,anti-semitic,arrogant,anti-gun,pro abortion,ignorant,south-hating, extremist, mean-spirited, liberal damnyankees who are TYRANTS & DAMNFOOLS.
Like Ted Turner and Bill Clinton? Two of the most influencial liberals in America, two southerners?
I don't care who owned slaves and who didn't own slaves individually. I've never made claims of who owned slaves and who didn't own slaves individually, North or South. You can't judge the group by just looking at an individual just the same as you can't judge an individual by just looking at the actions of a group. The fact is that the Southern states plainly said they seceded because of the perceived hostility of Lincoln to slavery as stated in most if not all of their Declarations of Secession. The abolitionists hailed mainly in the North with the Radical Republicans being the main agent of change in this nation's stance on slavery. That's all that matters to me. These two facts make me glad that the North won the Civil War not to mention the extreme importance of preserving the union.
This implies acceptance of the proposition that slavery was wrong.
A person's knowledge of right versus wrong is worthless if that person isn't willing to admit facts to assess who is right and who is wrong.
I think that we can all agree on that. I also believe that we can agree that Grant did own at least one slave in Missouri whom Grant manumitted before he emigrated to Illinois.
I don't care if he did or not. Grant fought for duty and preservation of the union, as Lincoln said.
His wife maintained a few slaves, and at least one until December 1862.
I don't care who owned slaves and who didn't. The fact is the South seceded to preserve slavery as stated in most if not all of their Declarations ofd Secession.
In Julia Grant's Memoires, Mrs. Grant says that her slave girl ran away from her near Cincinnati around Christmas, 1862.
I don't care who owned slaves and who didn't. The fact is the South seceded to preserve slavery as stated in most if not all of their Declarations ofd Secession.
In a footnote to that work, John Y. Simon states that it is at least possible that the Dent/Grant slaves were emancipated by the XIII Amendment, although he cannot tell for sure.
I don't care. The fact is the South seceded to preserve slavery as stated in most if not all of their Declarations of Secession.
As for REL, I e-mailed Emory Thomas, University of Georgia and author of a sympathetic but not idolatrous Lee biography. He says that Lee owned slaves (left to him by his mother) at least as late as 1846 (REL, pg, 72) or 1852 (REL, pg. 173). On his emancipation of all his slaves in January, 1863, Lee hired two of his servants (Perry and George) and paid them $8.20 a month. (Lee in a letter to his wife, 8 FEB 63).
I don't care who owned slaves and who didn't. The fact is the South seceded to preserve slavery as stated in most if not all of their Declarations ofd Secession.
Hope this helps dampen the acrimony. Respectfully, D J White
Not a chance. LOL Men who are so hateful that they dig 140 years into the past, and then live in the past, to hate a group of people in the present are never going to be the type that you can lessen the acrimony with. Thanks for trying anyway, even with your bias. :^)
No offense, but nowhere on any thread have I ever argued about, or given a hoot about, who owned slaves and who didn't individually. We went to war as two groups The Northern group sought to preserve the union and then abolish slavery as a fringe benefit of war. The Southern group sought to dissolve America to preserve slavery as cleary stated in most if not all of their Declarations of Secession. The circumstances of individuals, who were products of their times, doesn't matter to me. Most Northern soldiers didn't fight to abolish slavery individually, most Southern soldiers didn't fight to preserve slavery individually. To assess right versus wrong between two groups, you have to look at the actions of the groups not the circumstances of individuals.

I dont understand why white even waited to take the black queen, as well as why the king didnt take the other pawn???
One nice point no one yet mentioned is that h8=B (to avoid the stalemate) also doesn't work because a1=Q BxQ and black has a drawn position despite white's extra bishop.
mind stretching; thanks.
this is the answer who have a question why black's king didnt take b6 pawn..
and this is the answer who have a question why not bxa6..
thanks; good illustrations.
if white plays c1, then rxbp..if qxp,then rook b8,,, instead white plays rc6...if pawn qxp,rxq, rxr..if rxr,then qa8 check and qxr and then p.u. the pawn
Having seen it before didn't help at all, really tricky and pretty.
thumbs down to this puzzle alot of moves that was not needed
as to those who wonder why did black not take on b6, well if black takes on b6 he has no stale mate hopes anymore and white's pawn simply wins the race.
i think this one has already been up
May I suggest you either (a) read the thread or (b) give up chess?
Good one... need to look long..
for so many whys on queens movement: a. taking black queen in the early part forces staelemate; b. its an actual chess magazine moves: not necessarily very calculated, can have some times little steps!
Sorry, but I feel there is a mistake in Black's final move. I think Qf4 is a legitimate move that prevents the checkmate, even if momentarily. I can't really see a defined continuation for white that allows them to win in this position. If anyone could shine some light on this issue that would be greatly appreciated.
...Qf4 11.Qa1+ and white ends mating in Qa8
somewhat interesting
amazing puzzle. Great analysis by tranminhkhoi2 #40 explaining why the white queen moves Qg8 then Qe8 are the onlywinning moves (Qg8 Qa2 takes away Qg7, while Qf8?? allows Qa3 with Qd6 happening, the only check on the white king where he cannot move and give mate).
Good cleanup by sen_kwan #105 explaining why 1.bxa6?? b5!! is not a win for white, although in his hurry to prove a draw he misses 6... Qb8+! winning for black.
I haven't seen anyone show 1.h4 yet, so here it is: 1.h4 axb5! 2. h5 b4 3.h6 b3 4.h7 b2 5.h8=Q b1=Q draw.
I am not or will ever be first. I like to be asleep at those times. And I will not be the first to rant about people who say first. And though they don't anounce that they are the first first complainer. derivative of first. you know they keep score. But, I lay claim to first to complain loudly about the first compainers. They are the ones that burn me up. AND I am therefore the First, second derivative of first. Yup the real, secret, purist's purpose of these Chess puzzles.
Regards Fred
current champion of second derivative complainer.
' support your right to premove in the privacy of your own home'
To the second question is not a draw. Black moves Qb8+ and wins the game

Analogue Systems
I just uploaded the last one of a wonderful interview series with Bob Williams and Steve Gay, the owners of Analogue Systems, UK. They designed one of the first modular systems in the (nowadaws so prominent) eurorack system more than 20 years ago – "we`ve stood the test of time." – what it is still available and quite outstanding. There are plenty of sound samples on the web, I also made another video with a patch example on a bigger system, more to follow soon.
Let the goldfish perform..
.. or "Tribute to the real analogue"..
.. or "Analogue Systems about EMS.."
.. and "the masterpiece.." could explain you a bit ..
.. about the source of eurorack initiated by Doepfer and Analogue Systems roundabout 20 years ago. Some more videos will follow soon and we hope to also see Mister Bob Williams and Steve Gay for an interview on this years SUPERBOOTH16 visiting Berlin in person, who knows.
A lot of other inventors, users, experienced artists and newbees of electronic musical instruments will get together there for the very first real specialists convention with a workshop program, presentations, introductions and concerts. If you like to join, please get back to http://superbooth.com around the end of January and get your tickets online there. You can register for their newsletter now to be informed in time.
By the owner of the Funkhaus I was kindly asked to "fuck off". So we do with SUPERBOOTH. The full release of all informations about SUPERBOOTH17 will happen 10/2016 latest. Reserve the date to get on board again: April, 20th til 22nd, 2017 – Berlin (see pic).
wonderful SUPERBOOTH Tour
Superbooth Events
We now have an idea of the concerts, gigs and workshops that will happen on SUPERBOOTH16. SchneidersBuero alias HerrSchneider himself (myself) will present a series of TALKs in the evening in Saal1. I invited some longtime clients, friends, new and well known musicians to introduce their most famous electronic musical instument to explain it afterwards.
Not even the (earlier head of) acoustic engineers of the building Mr. Dipl.-Ing. G. Steinke is an expception here introducing the Subharchord, that was designed inside the Funkhaus-Buidling in the times of the GDR. He offered to hold the presentation about this in english, so our international guests can latest here understand the importance of this building and some more facts from the german special history.
Saturday 20:30/ 8:30 pm Saal1 Funkhaus Nalepastr. Use the daytime ticket (Saturday) from our ticket shop Superbooth16 (several) and, arrive 2pm earliest, 8pm latest.
Happy 2016
Dear Partners, Clients and Friends,
I would like to wish you all a good start into the new year, health, lucky times, love and a bit more peace for the world. I am looking forward to meet you all on our "SUPERBOOTH16" end of march, where we can hopefully form this a bit more into details. SchneidersLaden is presenting the show with adding discussions, some workshops and some wonderful artists, the program can be released end of this month probably.
On the upcoming NAMM there will be Jan Mueller and Rene Margraff from ALEX4 presenting Doepfer and more from europe – right next to Roger Linn and TomOberheim. If you want to talk about the SUPERBOOTH you can find Sebastian Baumann around there, for SchneidersLaden my old friends Paul Schulz and Carlo Krug will come over, too.
So please have a good start, enjoy the long weekend and the calm before the storm (?). With warm regards from somehwere north of Berlin,
Andreas Schneider, Jan, 1st 2016
SchneidersLaden back to Kottbusser Tor!
The showroom of SchneidersLaden has moved back to its home at Kottbusser Tor abouve the Kaisers Drugstore, now. It popped up just as a temporarily store for a month in our Spiegelsalon, Ritterstrasse, what is a rather boring office now, again.
The whole truth ..
.. about SchneidersBuero I told in this podcast to Bryce alias waveformcity during NAMM 2015 in an interview. Its the story how the job I do did happen to me and a lot about the situation in the market how I see it .. perhaps a bit too much information, sorry.
SUPERBOOTH is alive again and online in a very first "just a teaser"-Version. We will do it and we will definitely need some help later on. Thank you in advance for being with us, it will be great I hope.

2016 News:
The Mountain View Targeted Neighborhood Plan was officially adopted by the Anchorage Assembly on September 13th, 2016. We're grateful to the Municipality of Anchorage for their help throughout the planning process, and to all the Mountain View community members who have been involved in this project and who helped make this plan a reality. Stay tuned for news about a community celebration in October to celebrate the plan's adoption!
Plan Draft:
Chapter 1: Neighborhood Profile
Chapter 2: Building a Vision for Mountain View
Chapter 3: Plan Implementation
Appendix A: The Public Participation Process
Appendix B: Resolutions in Support of the Targeted Neighborhood Plan
2012 Mountain View Community Summit and Planning Process
The Mountain View Community Summit took place on October 5th and 6th, 2012 at Clark Middle School. The summit brought together community members in the Mountain View neighborhood to assess the progress of revitalization efforts taking place over the last two decades. This first-ever gathering of residents led to the sharing of needs, goals and dreams for the future of the community and will built new level of participation in crafting a targeted community plan for Mountain View. The event was styled as a forum where participants crafted action steps for the future. The Summit asked residents to Dream, Connect, and Act to imagine the future they wanted to see, connect with others to make it happen, and then be accountable to one another for their actions. The Mountain View Community Summit was recognized by the Municipality of Anchorage and the Long Range Planning Department as an official community engagement event that will provide grassroots information and direction for the Mountain View Neighborhood Plan.
Dream The first night of the Summit, Friday October 5th, was facilitated by Peter Kageyama, author of For the Love of Cities who encourages residents to actively love their cities and transform them into the places that they want to live in. Mountain View residents were invited to share what they love about Mountain View and what their dreams were for their neighborhood.
Connect The second day of the Summit, Saturday October 6th, was a full day of community connection. Topics for discussion included youth safety, personal financing, real-estate development, business and private sector development, arts and culture, transportation, community wellness, international emergence issues and resident leadership/engagement opportunities. Participants' responses were documented and informed the Implementation Matrix that will be the core of the Mountain View Neighborhood Plan.
Act Goals and action items, now part of Ch. 3 of the plan, were the main direct outcomes of the summit, and serve as a guide to community-driven action in Mountain View. It will be the responsibility of the residents in Mountain View to make sure improvement projects and community action initiatives are achieved.
After the Summit, the Anchorage Community Land Trust, along with community members, the Mountain View Community Council, and the Municipality of Anchorage's Planning Division, worked to incorporate the goals and action items from the Summit into an official planning document – the 2016 Mountain View Targeted Neighborhood Plan. Last year, on September 3rd, the draft of the Mountain View Targeted Neighborhood Plan was submitted to the Municipality of Anchorage for review.
In June of 2015, an open house for the Mountain View Targeted Neighborhood Plan was held at the Mountain View Library, during the 7th annual Mountain View street fair. Over 300 residents attended the open house, and shared their thoughts on the plan draft, the Davis Park master plan, land use in the neighborhood, and signed up to volunteer in their community. Here is the KTUU story about the neighborhood plan open house, and here is the Alaska Public Media article about the open house.
Community planning efforts have been evolving in Mountain View for more than ten years now. These plans are summarized in the timeline. Electronic copies of selected plans are available below.

The Heat
VIDEO: Sandra Bullock's Major Movie Roles, Ranked
Originally posted 10/27/2015 06:15PM
[BRIGHTCOVE "4582242182001"] On Friday, Our Brand Is Crisis opens in theaters, giving Sandra Bullock fans the chance to see her star in her newest feature film. As far as Bullock movies go, it's an outlier – a based-on-real-events comedy-drama set in the political world, and the promotion of it hasn't hinted at the slightest bit of a romantic subplot.

Teaming up with Sandra Bullock for the 2013 comedy The Heat seemed to be a no-brainer for Melissa McCarthy.

Melissa McCarthy Will Do Anything for a Laugh

The Melissa McCarthy who showed up to the Boston set of The Heat last summer with her two young daughters in tow could have passed for a friendly out-of-towner. Polite. Unassuming, even.
"A sweet midwestern mom," as costar Michael McDonald puts it. But then the cameras starting rolling – and McCarthy morphed into a "beast," says castmate Bill Burr.
The same woman who "doesn't even swear in real life," notes Heat director Paul Feig, "gets into character and suddenly the F-words start pouring out."

Filming The Heat wasn't all fun and games for one of Melissa McCarthy's costars.
As Michael McDonald explains, on-screen injuries weren't the only ones sustained during the filming process.
"I could have sworn my nose was broken," the actor, 48, who plays Julian, told PEOPLE at Sunday's New York City premiere of the crime comedy.
Referring to the use of a real phone book to film a phone book throwing scene, he said, "When we rehearsed it, [Melissa] was six feet away, but when we shot it, she was like two feet away. So she threw it and it was like, 'Boom!' It came so hard and so fast."

Leaving son Louis with a babysitter, Sandra Bullock made the most of a night out with friends Wednesday in London – looking smashing in a sexy black Monique Lhuillier dress and red heels.
The Oscar winner, 48, was spotted leaving the Nobu restaurant and heading to the Claridge's hotel in Mayfair.
She's currently in Europe to promote her upcoming crime comedy The Heat, costarring Melissa McCarthy, with whom Bullock has become close.

You Should Go: Gabby Rivera's "Juliet Takes a Breath" Book Release Party!
This Saturday, come hear Gabby read from Juliet Takes a Breath. She'll also answer your questions and sign your book!
This Saturday, come hear Gabby read from Juliet Takes a Breath. She'll also answer your questions and sign your book!
I'm extremely excited to tell y'all that it's official: I'm headed back to DC for the 2016 NYFLC! And, um, duh, I wanna see you there.
There's a new queer-lady-friendly space in town called Qulture Collective. It's a combination of cafe, workspace, gallery, retail store, and event space and it is really, truly, rad.
Through an exhibition of both contemporary artwork by a slew of trans artists and a truly impressive selection of archival documents from the Kinsey Archives and the University of Victoria Transgender Archives, Stamatina Gregory and co-curator Jeanne Vaccaro work to fill in the gaps between what many see as signs of mainstream progress and the true, vast history of trans people's lived experiences.
This weekend, Autostraddle's Babe-B-Q celebration is coming to a backyard, fire pit, and/or other totally appropriate location near you. And I've rounded up all of the events our readers are hosting to be part of the action in this very post!
Aquí Estamos is Spanish for "we're here." The first ever QPOC conference in the RGV is letting everyone know just that — we're here and we'll be here to organize and fight against the social and political factors that affect us.
Bay Area Straddlers and general ModCloth enthusiasts take note: between July 30th and August 17th, you can go to a store in Union Square and try on ModCloth's vintage-inspired dresses, skirts, tops, and outerwear in person!
"A lot of folks have their own opinions and viewpoints of what immigration looks like. I think if they came to this event they'd be able to see what trans and queer migration really looks like."
"Manchester Pride weekend is loud, expensive, booze-fueled and mainstream. Dancing and drinking in the streets (with ever-increasing numbers of straight folks) might be fun for many and a radical act for some, but not everyone feels welcome or comfortable at this kind of event."
"July 11th is a night of performance and party about freaks, all undesirable in their own ways, making life and getting lucky, getting life and making luck."
Attention NYC: We've got the best all-ages Pride party for you before the Dyke March. Join Everyone is Gay and Autostraddle at Bluestockings. Unicorns, music, books and magic!
It's worth remembering that Michfest is neither the oldest nor the only such festival in the US, and that many, if not most, of the other fests out there explicitly welcome trans women.
IT'S PRIDE, DAMMIT! And since it wouldn't be a good time without, um, all of us, I highly recommend that each and every one of you spends the month hanging out with one another at these meet-ups.
"I'm so tired of our stories being saturated in death and martyrdom. What's lacking in the way our stories are told by the media is our joy. This is an entire show where we're sharing laughter. That's heart medicine."
Let's talk about our favorite sexy video games, and then come see me talk about games LIVE in San Francisco on Tuesday!
This Sunday, New Yorkers can party and win prizes to support LezCab's new season of amazing queer theater.
Next Tuesday, any of y'all who live in or around Madison, Wisconsin are in for a real treat.
I'm organizing a meet-up during this year's NYFLC for the Autostraddle readers who are attending the conference!
We are brilliant: ever up to date on the latest politics, Jeopardy final answers, bad lesbian movies and books, all the books. So let's be geeks in public together for prizes, love and VICTORY. Look at that, you're already irresistible.
Autostraddle readers are cordially invited to the young feminist event of the year — and y'all have the luck to save big on registration.

SWIF honors Prairie Waters tourism efforts in 25th year
APPLETON -- The Southwest Initiative Foundation honored Western Minnesota Prairie Waters for their efforts in collaboration.
The Southwest Initiative Foundation recognized the regional tourism effort as it celebrated 25 years of serving southwest Minnesota with a regional banquet on May 20 at Jackpot Junction in Morton.
More than 300 guests -- including current and former board members, volunteers, donors, loan clients, grant recipients and partners from throughout the region and beyond -- joined to honor the "Best of Southwest Minnesota."
John Lauritsen, a WCCO-TV reporter and Montevideo/Milan native, served as emcee.
Prairie Waters staff Kristi Fernholz and Jenifer Fadness accepted the Collaboration Award on behalf of Prairie Waters.
The award includes a two-page spread in the Southwest Initiative Foundation 25th Anniversary "Best of the Southwest" program, a hand-crafted vase by New London potter Bill Gossman, and $1,000.
"We feel honored that SWIF, an organization that excels in collaborative efforts, recognizes the work that Prairie Waters has accomplished. Prairie Waters is a unique effort and has sustained support from cities, counties and tourism entities within our region to offer a consistent and effective marketing message," said Kristi Fernholz, Prairie Waters coordinator.

Uneven chick lit romance but Oprah Winfrey liked it
The Grief of Others, by Leah Hagar Cohen, The Clerkenwell Press, £12.99
Leah Hagar Cohen
On Page 273, one character picks up a book, "a romance novel, one of seven she has brought. She consumes one every two days." The Grief of Others is itself one part romance novel, two parts chick lit. It includes three affairs, two unwanted pregnancies, one runaway child, numerous dead parents and siblings, a miscarriage and a brief moment of soft-core incest. All in 370 pages. No wonder it was an Oprah Pick.
Set in suburban Westchester, Cohen's novel tells the story of the Ryries, an apparently average, dysfunctional, middle-class family. Ricky is in her late 30s and is a "financial engineer" working in derivatives in White Plains. She is the main breadwinner. Her husband, John, works in theatre-design in a nearby college. Big, burly and benign, he would ideally be played by John Goodman in a movie version.
They have two troubled children.Paul is a teenager, "overweight, acned, awkward", bullied and lonely at school. Elizabeth (known as "Biscuit") is 10, secretive, and plays truant. All are in mourning for Simon Isaac, a baby who has just died, alive for only 57 hours. All have their painful, half-hidden secrets. The dominant mood is melancholy, mournful. It is hardly surprising that, at the one party in the novel, someone puts on Leonard Cohen.
Two more troubled young people then enter their lives. Jess is John's daughter from a previous relationship, who suddenly turns up to stay with the Ryries and immediately unleashes a bombshell. Gordie, 19, is orphaned and living alone with his dog. His father has just died from cancer at 54, leaving behind a home full of clutter and some eerily beautiful dioramas.
So, the Ryrie family, already close to falling apart from its own internal tensions and problems, now has to cope with two more difficult youngsters.
The Grief of Others is readable, moving back and forward in time, full of warmth and Cohen is a good storyteller. But she is an uneven writer. On the one hand, there are descriptions like these of baby Simon: "His hands like sea creatures curled and stretched", "'His toenails: specks of abalone". But, once into her stride, Cohen writes good, sharp dialogue, builds a scene well and neatly captures her characters' suburban world.
This is possibly the least Jewish novel you will ever read, even though a few pages are dedicated to an Isaac Leib Peretz story. One of the problems all the characters face is that they are cut adrift in suburban America, rootless, connected neither to each other nor to their own feelings, for all the intensity of their various secrets.

A few weeks ago, Kansas head coach Bill Self advised reporters that Kansas wasn't done loading up on talent for the 2013-14 season. He said they still were hoping to add not one, but as many as two more players.
In what's the equivalent of the rich getting richer, Kansas added another high caliber talent to its already loaded roster, as Memphis transfer Tariq Black, chose the Jayhawks on Monday.
The news comes almost a week after the Jayhawks landed top recruit Andrew Wiggins.
Black will be eligible immediately for next season, as he has already received a bachelor's degree in organizational leadership from the University of Memphis.
"We received Tarik's financial aid papers earlier today and we are thrilled he has chosen to play his final year of college basketball at KU," Self said in a statement. "He will be a huge addition both physically and emotionally, especially from a leadership standpoint, as he will be the most experienced guy on our team entering next season."
Black was solid at Memphis, last season, averaging 8.1 points and 4.8 rebounds with 20 blocks and 22 steals, while starting five games for the Tigers, who finished 31-5 and appeared in the NCAA Tournament.
"Tarik has played in a ton of big games and certainly has had good experience at Memphis," Self said. "He's used to winning and can help us in both of our big positions. He can play the four and the five and we look forward to moving him around. He'll be an impact player that certainly changes the outlook of our team and makes us more versatile."
Black averaged 9.3 and 4.9 rebounds, while starting 60 games in his 102 game career with the Tigers. His best season at Memphis came in 2011-12, when he averaged 10.7 points as a sophomore. That season, he was named to the All Conference USA Second Team, while garnering Conference USA's All-Defensive Team and All-Tournament Team honors.
"Tarik had a very good experience at Memphis playing for Josh Pastner," Self said. "He was a great high school player under Wes Henning at Ridgeway and I think his transition will be smooth."

A computer display might have a blurry appearance for several reasons, and virtually all of them can be fixed by the end user. Avoid a costly repair bill by learning how to fix a blurry computer display.
Basic Troubleshooting and Software Issues
Before delving too deeply into the troubleshooting process, make sure that the surface of your monitor is clean. You might be surprised by the resulting improvement in image quality. Clean your monitor using a lint-free microfiber cloth moistened with a little distilled water.
Is the entire display blurry, or is it just the desktop wallpaper? If your background image is blurry but the text is clear, the resolution of your desktop wallpaper is too low for your screen. When the wallpaper is expanded to fill your screen, it becomes blurry due to the quality of the original image.
Are you using an LCD display? Although LCD monitors are superior to old-fashioned CRTs in nearly every way, every LCD screen has what is called a "native resolution." At any resolution other than the native resolution, the image will look blurry because the monitor will scale it to fit the whole screen. Check the instruction manual for your monitor to learn the native resolution, and run your display at this resolution whenever possible for best quality.
Hardware Issues
Depending on the type of monitor that you are using, the connection to the computer may cause the image to become blurry. If you are using a CRT, which uses an analog connection to the computer, signal strength is extremely important for the best possible image quality. Use the best VGA cable that you can afford, and ensure that it is securely connected to both the computer and to the back of the monitor.
If you are using an LCD display with a VGA connection, the image quality may be disappointing because an LCD is inherently digital and VGA connections are analog. Therefore, a conversion has to be performed by the monitor, which can result in a blurry image. If your computer has a digital (DVI) connection on the back, use this connection for your LCD display.

UI Senate seeks more info on Global Campus
URBANA -- University of Illinois faculty are pressing administrators for more information about online education plans.
The UI Senate on Monday unanimously endorsed a resolution that essentially asks President B. Joseph White and Special Assistant Chet Gardner for more detailed academic plans about Global Campus, the online education initiative announced earlier this year.
Global Campus is proposed to be set up as a limited liability company that would eventually share profits with university units. It would offer bachelor's and master's degrees and certificate programs online. Courses, developed with colleges at UI campuses in Urbana-Champaign, Chicago and Springfield, would last about eight weeks.
"It's not a 'Hell no, we won't go' kind of attitude," said Richard Schacht, philosophy professor and chairman of the Senate's General University Policy Committee, which recommended the resolution. Instead, the message is, if the university is going to launch the Global Campus, what would the delivery system be like, Schacht asked.
If UI colleges, departments and faculty are going to be involved in developing the courses, what classes are Global Campus organizers considering offering in the program's early years, added Schacht.
UI spokesman Tom Hardy said White intends to provide the academic plans to faculty by Dec. 1.
Provost Linda Katehi told faculty and students who attended Monday's meeting that she and several deans and unit heads have met recently with Gardner and White regarding the development and implementation as well as risks and opportunities of Global Campus.
"There is an effort to bring some collaboration forward as we try to develop the model," Katehi said.
The resolution approved Monday "does not indicate any kind of endorsement on the Global Campus program model or the delivery system," Schacht said.
"That's something we (the UI Senate) will consider next month," he said.
In response to the unveiling of Global Campus earlier this summer, the UI Senate, a campus legislative body of 200 faculty and 50 students, established a special task force to examine the proposal. Its members are analyzing the plans. Several other committees, including the Senate's Executive Committee, have also taken up the topic.
The UI Senate is expected to discuss Global Campus again at its next meeting on Dec. 4.
Ultimately, the final decision on whether or not -- and how -- the Global Campus initiative moves forward will rest with the UI Board of Trustees, as Schacht pointed out at the meeting.
Trustees are expected to receive an update on Global Campus at their Nov. 9 meeting in Springfield, but no action on the proposal is scheduled, Hardy said.

"Bette [Davis] and I did not have a feud going on the set of 'All About Eve'. The studio tried to play that up all during the filming. But I liked her very much. She'd come on the set and go 'S-s-s-s-s-s-s' at me, but it was just a joke between us. That was one of the happiest companies I've ever been in in my life."
Nevertheless, Miss Baxter insisted on running for Best Actress against Miss Davis at Academy Award time. "I had been billed as a star in 'All About Eve'. To be entered as a supporting actress meant I would have had to take a lower billing, and I felt I had worked too hard for all those years for that. One day a friend of mine called me from the Academy and told me the studio was still trying to enter me as a supporting actress against my wishes. She said, 'I know why they're doing it, because they're afraid you and Bette will cancel each other out.' And that's exactly what we did." --From Baxter's The New York Times obituary, December 13, 1985.

Ok so everyone at the hospital keeps telling me that it is possible for little man to come home with some oxygen support of some kind and maybe even his feeding tube. IF this is what happens how do I manage all of this stuff? IF he comes home without out any of it how do I not flip out everytime he crys and hold his breath or something.....I would hate to think he wasn't getting enough oxygen! Now this is all what ifs because they haven't said anything about when he will be coming home(other than "a few weeks") They are tube feeding him now(every 6 hrs) and might try to extubabte him again today.....it didn't work the first time.(they told us not to flip out that it was probably just to much sedation still and that they may have to try several times before he will actually stay off it)
So I guess basically how did all of you do coming home with your kiddos? What did they come home with if anything and how did you handle it!

About two years ago in the summer of 2009 I watched the entire television series called "The Shield." Our library had the first three seasons and I rented the other four elsewhere. I always ranted and raved about how great the show was to other people so imagine my surprise
As an Indiana native and someone who finds bureaucracy ridiculous, Parks and Recreationconsistently tickles my funny bone.
The key for me is Amy Pohler's performance as Leslie Knope. As the deputy director of the parks and recreation department for Pawnee, Indiana her eagerness and honest belief in the system make her as sympathetic as she is funny. The rest of her colleagues have a more realistic view of their positions and their town but either like Leslie enough or are bored enough to help her on her many crusades.
Dark Skies, one of my favorite mid-90s TV shows, recently came out on DVD. It was one of those shows that I wasn't sure would ever come out on DVD because it seemed like it never developed the sort of cult following that demands that sort of thing. As it turns out, there was a cult following that show, I just never came across it.
Winnebago Man, a documentary about one director's search for his favorite YouTube sensation, begins with said sensation, Jack Rebney, yelling at the director to just leave him alone. This is an interesting place to start because it kind of sets up the director, the person we'll be following on his journey to find Jack, as a jerk. Lucky for the viewer, this does not end up being the case. Rather, Winnebago Man becomes a humorous exploration of Internet fame and the responsibility of the fan/filmmaker.
There are few actors who can effectively pull off a cowboy hat anymore. Perhaps this has contributed to the relative death of the western, which is sad because I enjoy a good western. Every once in a while we'll get a True Grit or The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford, but more often than not what we get is in the vein of the forgettable American Outlaws.

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Ohio Gov. John Kasich on Tuesday ordered creation of a single-call notification system for oil-and-gas emergencies and authorized two state departments to start setting it up.
The Republican governor's executive order followed his veto last year of budget language he found inadequate that sought to streamline reporting of spills of oil, brine and other hazardous substances, fires, explosions and other emergencies. Among other things, Ohio had not previously called for the Ohio Department of Natural Resources to be alerted in cases of emergency — though it regulates the industry.
State oil and gas chief Rick Simmers said the new system will allow multiple state entities to coordinate better and respond more quickly. The Department of Natural Resources and the Ohio Department of Commerce are authorized under Kasich's order to begin making the system's rules.
Simmers said the rules are ready to go and they're tougher than federal requirements and what the oil-and-gas industry had negotiated with the Legislature.
In his July 2015 veto message, Kasich said budget language "would potentially limit essential notifications" and several provisions were "ambiguous and could result in unnecessary disputes regarding compliance." Kasich pledged to present an executive order improving the language "given the importance of protecting public health."
The veto followed a successful push by the industry to remove Kasich's proposed tax increase on large-scale oil and gas drilling from the budget. A severance tax increase had been a priority of Kasich's for years. He contended Ohio's tax on oil and gas drillers is too low, and he's wanted to use proceeds of a tax hike on hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, to help cut the state's income-tax rate.
Simmers said the new hotline will put other involved agencies — including the Division of State Fire Marshal, the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency and the Public Utilities Commission — in direct contact with Department of Natural Resources technical experts.
The toll-free hotline is 1-844-OHCALL1, or 1-844-642-2551.

Review by:
on Sep. 17, 2012 :
Janno pokes fun at the fashion industry with the fourth in her Bimbo Maker series. The undernourished models at a fashion show are much in need of the curves the formula provides, but unfortunately their clothes cannot contain their new voluptuous bodies, much to the horror of the limp-wristed fashion designer. Each of these stories just repeats the same basic formula in a new environment, but it works much like the old slipping on a banana peel gag - take characters who are priggish and full of themselves and then introduce something which causes them to lose all their dignity. But unlike slipping on a banana peel the humiliation of temporary bimbofication is accompanied by the compensation of mind-blowing orgasms.

jrcc was down today also.. not a good sign.
Sentiment: Sell
Up 4.5 % - beat the market - do the math - gained more than yesterdays pull-back.
Sentiment: Strong Buy
$7.00 to $9.00 is 41%
UP 41% (7-9.90) in less than a month! It might drop tmrw.
ok guys my apologies, i forgot that stocks only go up. all of the above reasons are why i'm assuming we could have a pullback - gee how stupid of me to think that. have you seen the chart, any chart - yes kids it goes up AND down. ANR is not immune to that virus, but go ahead and keep bashing.
Is that the best you got? Stay short and we will see what we can do. Hope you got a YMCA near by.

Starz travels back to 'Camelot'
New take on the Arthurian legend will premiere in 2011 on Starz
Starz has secured the rights to "Camelot," the latest attempt to put a fresh spin on the beloved Arthurian legend.
The 10-episode "Camelot" will premiere on Starz in early 2011 and will be an Irish-Canadian co-production originated by Ecosse Films.
Chris Chibnall ("Life on Mars") is writing the series, which uses Thomas Malory's "Le Morte d'Arthur" as a starting point.
"The story of Arthur isn't history, it's mythology, and Camelot isn't a place but an idea of hope that has resonated intensely at different times throughout history, explains Starz President and CEO Chris Albrecht condescendingly. "The creative team has envisioned a highly entertaining and distinctly original TV program that fits in perfectly with our lineup, coming on the heels of our successful original series 'Spartacus: Blood and Sand' and the returning comedy 'Party Down,' along with our recent acquisition of the event series based on Ken Follett's 'The Pillars of the Earth.'"
Since "Pillars of the Earth" is an extended miniseries, this is Starz' first series order since Albrecht arrived.
The busy production team for "Camelot" includes Graham King ("The Departed") of GK-TV, Michael Hirst ("The Tudors") and Douglas Rae ("The Waterhorse"). The series was previously temporarily set up at Showtime.
"GK-TV was started with the goal of producing compelling cinematic quality programming for television," King states. "The legend of King Arthur is a fascinating story that we couldn't be more excited to have as our first television project."
Casting is already underway on "Camelot," with Starz promising a mixture of fresh faces and established talent. Production on "Camelot" is expected to begin in June.
Other recent reimaginings of the Arthurian tale include NBC and now Syfy's "Merlin," Antoine Fuqua's 2004 "King Arthur," the 2002 Canadian-Aussie co-production "Guinevere Jones" and many, many, many others.
