Aruneus has a zombie problem. And now we've captured one of them for display!
I've been talking about Aruneus, the zombie apocalypse and high fantasy for a while now. Today marks a big day for this whole project.
The first official Aruneus supplement for the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game system is nearing completion! I've gotten the rough art for the zombies from the fantastic Seth Kumpf. Here's a sneak peak!
I think that it's great! Keep in mind it's not the finished artwork either. Seth did a bang up job imagining what the three different types of zombies would look like and then translating that into art.
Other than some formatting and the finalization of the artwork, The World of Aruneus – Contagion Infected Human Zombies is ready to head to the (virtual) printers! It will be available through our storefront at DriveThruRPG, where we already have a few free products.
The Orcs supplement is about 80% complete, with a new playable race, a new beastie and some other neat stuff.
Lastly, I'm launching the play test of the official campaign tonight. Once we've played it through and I can tweak it some, I'll have that available as well!
Note: If you want to follow the development of the Aruneus world, just click this. Bookmarking that will bring you back to the latest news. Interested in backing this project and receiving all kinds of neat stuff? Check us out at Kickstarter!

Looks incredibly gruesome. I will have to look into Aruneus quite a bit :D
I'm new to your blog, are there certain posts you can point me to so I can learn more about it?

Destination Tourism
Despite alarming signs that Bali Tourism in bursting at the seams, Jakartans still flock here. I keep recommending Tana Toraja or Lake Toba or even Cirebon as attractive alternatives but still they come, like the monsoon, clogging the narrow streets of the Bukit Peninsula and the footpaths outside Jogger. These hordes need to be avoided.
Many sophisticated Jakartans now have villas in Bali and arrive late at night to avoid the traffics. For the most part they stay in their villa, making forays out to find exotic local food, and then leave back for Jakarta pre-dawn in convoys of Alphards. Some politically well-connected high society types come in the private jets of political party leaders and travel down the highways at breakneck speed with police escorts to get to Ibu Megawati's favourite grilled fish café at Kusamba before the satay lilit runs out.
Many motorcades stop at one of the burgeoning number of butik warung selling kopi luwak for a quick fix. Somehow Jakartans never get mugged at Sky Garden or short changed at Alfamart until they marry a bule and then they never stop posting reports on Bali Crime Report FB page.
In fact 'find a bule' is a popular blood sport for certain sectors of Jakarta society.
Gay Jakartan daddy-chasers, for example, flock to the Jalur Gazza (Jalan Dyana Pura, Seminyak) to find mates (I read this somewhere).
Half the working girls of Doli, that once famous now defunct red-light district of Surabaya, have now decamped in Bali beyond the reaches of the Sharia police. Apparently, for $250, one can now get two girls (one does an exotic dance in a corner) and a bottle of bootleg whiskey in some of the choicer budget boutique-style hotels that have sprung up along Jalan Sunset.
Medical Tourism is all the rage: ex-pat wives from Kemang are flocking to Bali for Botox and other cosmetic procedures, to keep up with aforementioned explosion in well-educated escorts.
In a few weeks (late July to be exact) Bali will experience its annual Surud Tiang Jawi, when nearly all of Bali's itinerant population of Javanese workers and hired help suddenly depart, leaving the streets barren and middle-class, middle-aged Balinese desperate for a massage.
For a brief period the Balinese get their island back, until, on the first day after Ramadan, wave after wave of Chinese-Indonesians arrive in their family sedans from Surabaya and Semarang, in search of domestic help. Unable to find air-conditioning switches at home they flee to Bali in search of air, cheap food and accommodation.
• • •
My advice to Jakartans is: please, see Bali before it dies but spare a dime for Indonesias other cultural and scenic hot spots which are still Indonesiawi (i.e. free of complaining expats).
Here's my annual list of my top ten tourist destinations four hours or less from Jakarta, where in-room massage is still available.
26 July, 2014: To Makassar to finalize work on our Fort Rotterdam barracks-inspired Boncafe, Panakkukang café for the Boncafe group.
The first Boncafe opened near Gubeng railway station, Surabaya, in 1973. The founder's grandson, Stephan Tanaja, is now running the chain and is committed to good East Javanese food and Indonesian flavoured décor. He has just opened one of his Le Café Gourmand at Jalan Gunawarman in South Jakarta. Lately, sweet Stephan has let me do colonial follies for his restaurants in far-flung places like Samarinda and Panakkukang, Makassar (fast-food alley).
Today I have been working with Balinese artisans and Makassar's finest tukang, putting the finishing touches on my homage to Old Makassar. Granny Toraja, the group founder is here and says, "I can't have wall art of mountains or of phinisi boats without sailors." It's never easy.
July 30th, 2014: Bali Aga Wedding
Back in Bali after Lebaran and everything is back to normal: long queue at immigration, long queue to leave the airport carpark, nightmare traffic, 'mugs rules' motorists......... but eh the smiles, for miles.
This afternoon I am invited to Tenganan, the ancient Bali Aga (old Bali) village near Candi Dasa. Last month I went to the annual Perang Pandan there and it was as good as it was when I first witnessed the courtyard battles in 1979. Except now there is a spotty pom ring-in battling, and more photographers than combatants.
Bali today is an incredible mix of the ancient and the modern, the sacred and the profane ......... and that's the way the Balinese like it. The wedding today is exquisite: both bride and groom wrapped in the double ikat geringsing cloth for which the village is famous.
It was Gujurati traders who first bought the magical Indian double ikat, called Patola, to Eastern Indonesia starting the 6th century C.E.
Centuries later it was the same Gujurati trades responsible for the spread of Islam — out from Gresik in East Java from the 14th century — and the incredible carved doors of Kudus, Central Java, now widely copied in Bali and de rigeur for any new bungalow-style Balinese home.
The ebb and flow of South-Asian cultures is a remarkable subject.

Turns out Macklemore nearly didn't make Grammy rap committee's cut because, frankly, some of the institution's hip-hop heads don't think he makes music for people who actually like the music (read: white folks).
From Vulture:
Most" members of the rap committee felt that the "Thrift Shop" and "Same Love" duo shouldn't qualify for rap nominations "because of their success on mainstream radio and their appeal in the pop world." This is not a new idea, in the sense that Macklemore is often described as a rapper for people who don't usually listen to rap music. But he does, in fact, rap, which is why the motion was vetoed by the general Grammys committee in a "landslide."
The source continued by posing the questions that longtime hip-hop fans have been grappling with ever since the Seattle-based rapper gained mainstream success last year with his album "The Heist."
"It's not that they don't think he's a rapper," said the source. "It's just that when you're trying to protect categories and someone has become popular, it should be judged as much. ... Where does their music exist? Who are their fans?"
Macklemore and Ryan Lewis are nominated for seven awards, including Best Album and Best New Artist.

My dog ate spoiled ground beef and now has diarrea, what can I do for her?
I was cleaning out my fridge before going grocery shopping and noticed some ground beef I had forgotten about. It was about a week past due and there was about 2lb left, so I took it out and set it on the counter thinking "I need to make sure I don't let Trixie get to this." Unfortunately, I forgot to throw it away in the outdoor trash and left it on the counter when I went grocery shopping and got home 30 minutes later to Trixie vommiting and about 1lb of ground beef scattered across the kitchen floor. This was yesterday morning. Yester day she had very liquid diarrea three times in the house(She is potty trained and has not had an accident in the 4 months I've owned her). During the night she has had diarrea twice. I don't get paid until thursday and I used all my money on bills the last pay check so I'm really worried. i only have $40 dollars until thursday. Is there anything I can do until I take her to the vet thursday? She is 7 months, female, 40lb, shepherd mix.

I would withhold food until she settles down. It sounds like she is doing a good job purging herself of the meat. Even if it was only old and not spoiled, too much of something different can cause digestive upsets.
Let me paste in some help on cleaning up.
A couple big putty knives work well on bowel movements. Just slide one under it while holding it with the other. This gets it up with a minimum of pushing it down into the carpet. This works with even relatively soft ones, vomit, dirt from over turned house plants, or anything else from solids to thick liquids. Finish up with a good shot of carpet foam.

She would have had the diarrhea from eating that much ground beef all at once, even if it wasn't spoiled! Don't feed her anything for 12 hours, then start with a small amount of boiled chicken and rice. She should be fine as soon as she gets it out of her system, which it sounds like she is doing on her own!!!
Member 641257 answered on 3/15/10. Helpful? / 2
I agree without food until her tummy settles. My vet always recommends 12-24 hours depending on how severe the diarrhea or vomitting is. Then you can give her some boiled chicken and rice for a day or 2 for her meals. Boiled extra lean hamburger and rice can also be used.
I don't think a vet visit is required. This is just a case of her eating something that doesn't agree with her and diarrhea is par for the course.
My first dog Bear ate a pork roast I placed on the counter and he had diarrhea throughout the night, I felt so sorry for him but he was just fine.
Her going in the house was an accident. She needed to go NOW, it isn't her fault. Simply clean up any messes without saying anything or scolding. BM's can be urgent at times, even for us humans when we are sick.
Allow her tummy to settle, feed chicken/rice and give her lots of love. She'll be feeling much better soon.
Have a good one.

You can also give her gatorade and plain yogurt (1tbls at a time) to add back electrolytes to her system and healthy bacteria. The yogurt will also help decrease the gas smell.
Petri answered on 3/15/10. Helpful? / 2
let her stomach settle some. She might have gotten some of the packaging in her gut so let her go without food for a few hours and let her get the rich meat out of her stomach.
Just give some fresh water.
If you think none of the wrapper was ate she should be fine.
My dogs eat raw meat daily for their diet and 1 week old ground meat is not going to hurt her.
If you got one tablespoon of plain yogurt you can give that to coat her tummy til a few hours of no food.
let us know what happens.
take care

I give my dogs raw bones and sometimes they go bury them. Well when they dig them up, they are rotten. My 3 month old lab almost died from dehydration from the bacteria. Dehydration is the main concern. They dont want to eat or drink. Vets could not help him...albon..antibiotics...IV..everything.
So...I researched nausea and ended up doing the medical marijuana thing...that saved my dogs life.
It was a matter of life and death and I dont want to hear criticism for this. I am a big animal lover and would never do anything to harm my pets. I dont recommend doing this right away, if you suspect dehydration give them just enough to ease the nausea so they can drink. I got under a blanket and blew it in his ear and tried to keep smoke in there (do not feed the herb to your pet for toxin reasons!). I dont smoke that stuff and really had to search for it...you can just fill your mouth with smoke and blow it out and not inhale.
Good luck and vinegar works really good for the messes.

Mentor Program—Seeking a Few Faculty for Spring 2005
This may be the environment in which to try something new in
your course. New in 2004, the Technology Mentor Program is a
LITS initiative designed to offer additional creative and collaborative
support to foster the effective integration of technology into
the curriculum. Inspired by the SAW Program, the Technology Mentor
Program is a course-oriented, peer-based model. Under the guidance
of a research and instructional support (RIS) professional, mentors
work closely with faculty members and students to support related
technology needs. RIS looks to pair faculty with students who
are comfortable with technology and are enthusiastic about teaching
and learning.
Duties and workflows within the role are likely to vary from course to course.
A mentor's specific responsibilities will depend largely on faculty needs
and course objectives. For example, throughout the semester, a mentor may hold
office hours for project consultation and troubleshooting with students enrolled
in the course; offer training sessions on specific software or equipment associated
with assignments; brainstorm with the faculty member on the creative uses of
technologies and provide feedback on the effectiveness of a technology-based
assignment; and develop prototypes or models of a technology-based tool to enhance
student learning in the course. Faculty interested in exploring this program
further should complete the faculty mentor application at www.mtholyoke.edu/lits/ris/techmentor.
Please contact Julie Habjan Boisselle (jboissel x2795) or Owen Ellard (oellard,
x3023) for more information.
Graduate Fellowships in International Politics
The politics department will offer two graduate fellowships this

The Unarchiver
By Dag Agren
Open the Mac App Store to buy and download apps.
The Unarchiver is a small and easy to use program that can unarchive many different kinds of archive files. It will open common formats such as Zip, RAR (including v5), 7-zip, Tar, Gzip and Bzip2. It will also open many older formats, such as StuffIt, DiskDoubler, LZH, ARJ and ARC. It will even open other kinds of files, like ISO and BIN disc images, some Windows .EXE installers. The list is actually much longer - see the program homepage for the full list.
The Unarchiver also tries to detect and correctly handle the filename encoding in the archives it opens, allowing you to open files from every part of the world without getting garbled filenames.
The Unarchiver aims to be the only unarchiving program you will ever need, and to stay out of your way.
However, if you want to browse the contents of archives, or if you want to support development of The Unarchiver, look for "The Archive Browser" on the Mac App Store, or go to http://archivebrowser.c3.cx/! It lets you browse and preview archive contents, and find out information about archives!
Also, if you need to open archives on your iPad or iPhone, look for "Archives" on the App Store, or go to http://archives.c3.cx/. It is based on The Unarchiver, and lets you easily handle Archives on iOS!
What's New in Version 3.11.1
* 3.11.1: Fixed spurious error message when extracting multi-part RAR files.
* Support for RAR version 5 archives.
* Only unpack an archive once when accidentally opening multiple parts of the same archive.
* Handle opening archives with huge number of parts better.
* Fix crash when opening certain tiny archives.
* Bug fixes for zip64, NSIS, and Squeeze.
Customer Reviews
I rarely use any software that didn't come with macOS if I don't have to. But, in this case, an old ZIP file was deemed corrupted by the Archive Utility and would not unzip. I even triend PKZIP for Windows (an old friend that will "Fix" corrupt ZIP files). It was unable to save my files inside this zip file. I got Unarchiver and it did the job. All of the compressed files in my ZIP file were unzipped and are working just fine.
That impressed me right there. PKZIP is a stalwart of the Windows ecosystem. I used it for years in my professional jobs and never did it fail me like it did today. I thought all hope was lost and then I used your application and it did the job. Excellent application. I don't need or want Stuffit Expander or need to use the Archive Utility now that Unarchiver is on my machine. Two Thumbs Up!
Most simple, but the fastest
Unarchiver is the fastest program in it's class. I tried out the others and they seem to run into issues with multiple zip files. I manage multiple zip files all the time becasuse on some image sites it is easier to uplad as a zip file than a group of file individually. Other programs create unwanted popups, are slow, and as stated before they cannot extract multiple zip files. Been using this program since I got my first iMac years ago.
able to select multiple files to extract in a row
Finally an extracter that i can select multiple files and press extract and they all extract with out me having to wait for each one to be extracted. It will also delete the original compressed file so i dont have to go back and find all the files ive already extracted.

Mixed Feelings
May 13, 2010
Since yesterday, there's some similar melody I heard somewhere but I couldn't pin it down. Initially I was thinking to go through my collection, but an email put me back in a depressed mood. Twice a week are not funny.
I feel very sad inside but I cover it well. But sometimes I feel like living as two persons.
I'll think about the music later.

Keep piling on the platitudes. Its a 3-day weekend for most of us.
As much as I would have loved to wait for actual "new" hardware with the latest procs and thunderbolt, this was actually a good choice. This hardware is perfectly compatible with the old and new versions of Pro Tools so made for a seamless upgrade. As already stated, this is fast enough for my needs and should last me for the next 6 years.
Have to wonder where Apple is going with the Pro line though. I've heard a few people on podcasts now state they've ditched their Mac Pros for the new Retina MBP because it's faster. I agree that it's great to have this much power in a portable and Thunderbolt is out of this world, but for pure number crunching, they are no Mac Pro. Just ran Cinebench on both and my RMBP comes in at 6.14 and the Mac Pro (with slowest 2 year old processors) at 12.64.
Very glad to get confirmation that Apple will be continuing with a pro model and obviously, we're going to get a new enclosure. Being a guy who needs to be able to put cards in a machine, my big fear has always been that Apple will do away with a system that can handle cards. Thunderbolt has the ability to change this game completely. We no longer need all of the subsystems to be in one big box. We could have one little box with awesomely expensive processors, one box with wickedly fast storage, and one Thunderbolt expansion chassis for cards.
We've already got the fast storage. I've got a Promise R6 and aside from it always complaining it's too hot, this thing is fast like I've never seen. Sonnet, OWC, and Netstor have options coming out for PCIe expansion via Thunderbolt. All we really need is a new Pro Mac with the latest greatest processors. Is modular the way forward?
We've been feeling for a long time like the Pro user was going to be abandoned because it just can't be that big of a market, but if Apple could get the prices down by producing a simpler product that is just a number crunching workhorse, the market might expand. There is no shortage of people doing high-end video, photography, 3D, music, software design, and scientific apps in need of blazing processors.
Can't wait to see what Apple is up to.
Long AAPL Short ME 5'3
Can't wait to see what Apple is up to.
I was part of a group just waiting to upgrade my MacPro this year. I was literally ready to buy the new MacPro the moment it came out. Except I wasn't planning on them coming out with… nothing. :( My MacPro is a quad-core 1,1 from 2006, so it's showing its age. However, it's still blazing fast for everything I do, so I convinced myself I can live another year without upgrading.
The thing is, after a few months, I've come to realize I don't really need most of that power. I used to play a lot, but most of that is done on the XBox nowadays. Also, used to require hardware that was able to do fast compiles on demand, but even my "lowly" i7 quad core on my work MBP is plenty fast. Upgradeability used to be a big thing, but again, not really needed these days. The only thing I've upgraded on it is the video card, which was only done for playing WoW back then.
So, I'm convinced my next serious setup will probably be an updated 15" MBP retina with a TB monitor at home and external TB storage (thinking about Drobo 5D). That will give me full power + portability, and not having to sync files or settings between machines is a nice bonus.
I would like to see AAPL continue the Mac Pro line, adding more power and expandability every year, but I just don't see it. That market is niche-small, and relative to AAPL's other business lines, getting smaller by the minute. My guess is we'll get a small box, (a Mini Pro, if you will), with up to 2 of the energy-efficient Xeons coming out. Only RAM will be user-upgradeable, if at all. Anything else, you can do through Thunderbolt.
Go figure… right after I finally decide to stop waiting for Avid to show us the future with Thunderbolt, we get this.
Oh well, still not unhappy with my purchase. I'm sure it will take them a while to bring their HDX line into the Thunderbolt universe.

DETROIT -- Alan Trammell is ready for a blowout.
For the third time in five days, his Detroit Tigers pulled off a late-inning comeback, this time scoring twice in the ninth and once in the 10th to beat the Texas Rangers 6-5 Thursday.
"I remember when we used to score runs early in games," Trammell said with a smile. "I like that better, but I'll take this. Our last three wins have been nail-biters, but we've got them in the right column."
Craig Monroe singled home Ivan Rodriguez with the winning run in the 10th, and Rondell White homered and drove in three runs for Detroit.
After coming from behind to beat Baltimore on Sunday, the Tigers snapped Texas' nine-game winning streak Wednesday night by scoring five runs in the seventh.
"It's easy to win a game when you blow a team out," Brandon Inge said. "But when you win games like this, it really gives you a boost of confidence. I don't know why it is happening, but I don't care, as long as they end like this."
The Rangers took a 5-3 lead into the bottom of the ninth, but Detroit rallied against All-Star closer Francisco Cordero with a sacrifice fly by pinch-hitter Carlos Guillen and a two-out RBI single by Omar Infante. It was Cordero's third blown save in 19 chances.
"I've got to do my job," said Cordero, who began his career with the Tigers. "I've got to make my pitches, and today I paid for it."
With one out in the 10th, Rodriguez doubled off Nick Regilio (1-2), and Monroe followed with a line single to right. Andres Torres' throw to the plate appeared to beat Rodriguez, but it skipped over catcher Rod Barajas' shoulder.
"We've got to win those games," Rangers first baseman Mark Teixeira said. "But give them credit -- they fought back and they deserved to win them in the end."
Ugueth Urbina (1-3) pitched a scoreless 10th for the win. Alfonso Soriano led off with a double, but pinch-hitter Hank Blalock hit a liner up the middle that rookie shortstop Tony Giarratano caught and flipped to Infante at second for an inning-ending double play.
"This was only Tony's second game, but he looks like he belongs here," said Trammell, probably the best shortstop in Tigers history. "He knew where to play Blalock -- you tell him something once and he's like a sponge."
Rookie right-hander Chris Young gave up three runs in seven innings for Texas, striking out a career-best eight. Tigers starter Nate Robertson allowed four runs -- three earned -- in 6 1/3 innings.
Texas scored twice in the first. Torres led off with a double, went to third on Michael Young's single and scored on Teixeira's single. Kevin Mench hit a potential double-play grounder, but Infante's throwing error allowed Young to score from second.
White's fifth homer made it 2-1 in the second and extended his career-best hitting streak to 18 games. Detroit then went ahead with a pair of runs in the third.
Nook Logan led off with a disputed infield single. He hit a grounder between the mound and first, and Teixeira collided with Chris Young. Logan avoided Teixeira's lunging tag, but replays showed he also missed first base.
Rangers manager Buck Showalter and Teixeira argued, to no avail.
"First of all, he didn't touch the bag, and second of all, he was out of the baseline," Showalter said. "Take your choice which way he was out."
Inge walked and both runners moved up on a sacrifice bunt. Dmitri Young struck out, but White hit a two-run single off third baseman Mark DeRosa's glove.
Texas put runners in scoring position in the third, fifth and sixth. Robertson escaped each time, but the Rangers rallied with three runs in the seventh.
Sandy Alomar Jr. led off with a grounder between first and second that Chris Shelton fielded cleanly but threw away for a single and an error.
Alomar moved up on DeRosa's single and scored on Torres' sacrifice fly. After Michael Young's single off Franklyn German, Teixeira's grounder hit first base and bounced over Shelton for a go-ahead single. Mench made it 5-3 with the second sacrifice fly of the inning.
- Shelton made his third start at first base in his 30th career game. His other appearances have all been as a DH or pinch hitter.
- Chris Young struck out seven Yankees on April 22.
- Guillen (knee) missed his fourth consecutive start and sixth in the last seven games.

'What's a child's life worth?': daycare owner jailed for 80 years over deadly fire
Published: November 21 2012 - 7:39AM
The owner of a Houston daycare centre where four toddlers died in a fire that started after she left the children unattended to go shopping was sentenced on Tuesday to 80 years in prison for a felony murder conviction in one of the deaths.
Jessica Tata, 24, will not be eligible for parole for 30 years under the sentence imposed by the jury. Convicted for the death of 16-month-old Elias Castillo in the February 2011 fire, she was also fined $10,000.
Jurors found Tata guilty on November 13 and could have sentenced her to life in prison. Prosecutors have not said whether Tata will face trial in the other deaths.
Three-year-old Shomari Dickerson, and Elizabeth Kajoh and Kendyll Stradford, both 20 months old, also died in the fire at the home daycare centre. Several other children were injured.
Prosecutors presented evidence that a pot of hot oil left on a burner caught on fire while Tata was away, and a video showing her at a Target store shortly before the fire broke out.
"Those are real, real babies," prosecutor Connie Spence told jurors on Monday. "What's a child's life worth?"
Former friends and school administrators testified during the sentencing that Tata was a violent, vengeful person and had deliberately set two fires in the bathroom of her high school as a juvenile. Tata did not testify at the sentencing.
Jurors deliberated eight hours before returning the sentence, which was read by Judge Marc Brown from the 180th District Criminal Court in Harris County.
During the trial, Tata's lawyer, Mike DeGeurin, said the fire was accidental and suggested it could have been caused by faulty wiring.
Tata, the US-born daughter of Nigerian citizens, fled the country after the fire, but was captured in Port Harcourt, Nigeria, in March 2011 and extradited to Texas. She has been held without bond in the Harris County Jail.

30th Century
this wiki
The 30th Century is a period of time spanning exactly one-hundred years from the year 2901-3000.
The 30th Century is primarily identified as the height of the galactic federation known as the United Planets. The United Planets was a coalition of worlds that encompassed hundreds of planets within the Milky Way Galaxy and even a few outside the known galaxy. The 30th Century is also the time of the original Legion of Super-Heroes. Following the events of Zero Hour, time was rewritten and the original 30th Century lore was restructured.
New Earth
In the Post-Zero Hour environment, the Legion of Super-Heroes did not become an active team until the 31st Century, though nearly all of them were born in the 30th century.
- While time is known to be fluid, it has always been understood that the Pre-Zero Hour 30th Century was the definitive future reality of Earth-One.[original research?] This was confirmed during the Crisis on Infinite Earths.
- During Infinite Crisis, an interregnum reality was created dubbed Earth-247. Earth-247 reflected the time era of the original 30th Century Legion of Super-Heroes. This reality, along with all of the others created by Alexander Luthor, ceased to exist at the end of Infinite Crisis. Presumably, the 247 designation is a reference to Adventure Comics #247 - the first appearance of the Legion of Super-Heroes.

Our fledgling inclusionary zoning ordinance, as it will be applied to our ski base area, has brought disagreements within our community into sharper focus. Ironically, I see this as a remarkable opportunity to find common ground and bring our community together to define our future.
The current fierce conversation is whether affordable housing units should be built on site or a fee-in-lieu should be granted to the developer. The inclusionary zoning ordinance allows for both, the latter at the sole discretion of City Council. In the quantitative analysis, building the units on site is a sure proposition whereas the fee-in-lieu is dependent upon the availability of land and the city's capability to get units built.
In the sociological analysis, the fee-in-lieu creates the perception that we will have a segregated community with affordable housing relegated to less desirable areas. On the other hand, there is a fear that qualified affordable homeowners living at the ski base area will be treated as "strangers in a strange land" and the ideal of recreating the community that existed 30 years ago will never be realized.
What about the qualitative analysis? One argument posits that Steamboat Springs has a history of rich and poor living as neighbors and friends - a democratic ideal that should be a part of any future vision for the base area. The opposing argument asks if we are truly a community with a resort (as distinct from a resort community), do we want to locate our affordable housing at the resort or in the community?
Unfortunately, the merits of each argument cannot be equitably evaluated because our current methodology for determining the fee-in-lieu is based upon the average purchase price per square foot for a house in Steamboat Springs. Because the price per square foot at the base area is projected to be the highest of any location in Steamboat, it was discarded and not even factored into the average purchase price calculation.
Here is an illustration of the current credibility gap regarding fee-in-lieu. Ninety housing units at the base area averaging 2,700 square feet a unit will conservatively sell for $900 a square foot. The gross revenues at sellout will be $218,700,000. Just 1 percent of gross revenues is $2.187 million.
Working from the 2006 Steamboat Springs Payment-in-lieu Calculation chart, the difference between the affordable purchase price and market rate cost per unit equalized at 900 square feet is $613,158. This compares to our current fee-in-lieu of $20,958 a unit. Thus, with a 15 percent administrative fee and 25 percent premium, 90 housing units at the base area would require 15.3 affordable units generating a $13,485,644 fee-in-lieu (15.3 units multiplied by $881,415 a unit). Using the current methodology and multipliers, those same 90 units will produce a $460,945 fee-in-lieu (15.3 units multiplied by $30,127 a unit). It is no wonder that our current fee-in-lieu has no credibility in the inclusionary zoning debate.
The future before us is to either integrate affordable housing into the resort base area in an attempt to establish a "community," or leverage the redevelopment of the base area to strengthen the community we already have and seek to preserve. Imagine an agreed upon fee-in-lieu that bridges the current credibility gap applied to the purchase of existing housing in our older neighborhoods and land that could be developed into new neighborhoods. We can define either future. We just have to choose:or have it chosen for us?

2013 Nissan Altima Awarded 5-Star NCAP Rating
The 2013 Nissan Altima is the Japanese automaker's attempt to dethrone the Toyota Camry as king of the mid-size sedan segment, and now the fuel-efficient model has been awarded a 5-star overall vehicle safety rating as part of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's (NHTSA) New Car Assessment Program (NCAP).
The completely redesigned Altima and its collection of new safety features helped it pass the new, more stringent tests and requirements from NHTSA in order to earn the coveted 5-star rating. Features on the new 2013 Altima include Nissan's advanced air bag system, driver and front-passenger seat-mounted side-impact supplemental air bags, roof-mounted curtain side-impact supplemental air bags, vehicle dynamic control, 3-point ALR/ELR seat belt system, LATCH System (Lower Anchors and Tethers for Children), and zone body construction with front and rear crumple zones.
"With the new Altima, we made available a suite of safety innovations, including intelligent headlights, Blind Spot Warning and Moving Object Detection, just to name a few," said Brian Carolin, senior vice president of sales and marketing for Nissan North America, Inc. "The 2013 Altima is the whole package, offering class-leading 38 mpg highway, premium comfort and advanced safety features."

This article is from Alan W. Pollack's groundbreaking series "Notes on the Beatles". Links in the orginal article is written in this colour: index to the series, while links I have added appears as standard links. Go here for more information on my site about the song
Notes on "It's All Too Much"
KEY G Major METER 4/4 ------- 2X ------- FORM Intro -> Verse -> Refrain -> Refrain (guitar instrumental) -> Refrain (trumpet instrumental) -> Verse -> Refrain -> Refrain -> Outro (fadeout)
General Points of Interest
Style and Form
George's combination in this song of an harmonic drone with a modal-like tune, pop-rock backbeat, and extended improvisatory intro/outro yields an Indian/Western fusion that is at least serendipitous if not ingenious.
The overall feeling of a come-as-you-are jam session is amplified by the extent to which the verse and refrain sections are are hard to tell apart judging from the music along. Both sections are eight measures long with a 4+4, AA' phrasing structure, and are performed over a bassline drone over which virtually no harmonic motion takes place. Whatever formal analysis we draw from the text is in ironic contrast to the otherwise continuous texture of the track.
This is yet another interesting Beatles example of how Gesture can triumph over the specific gravity of Content by virtue of sheer length and repetition. My own short list of nominees for this category includes the likes of "I Wanna Be Your Man," "I'm Down," "Rocky Raccoon," along with the more explicitly jam session sections of "Hey Jude," "You Never Give Me Your Money," (dig the infamous outtake!) and "12-bar Blues."
Melody and Harmony
The tune places off-kilter emphasis on scale steps 2 (A) and 7 (F#), while avoiding 4 (C); compare/contrast this with "Within You, Without You."
The only harmonic deviation from the G Major chord appears in the refrain phrase, and even there, it's more a matter of voice leading than full fledged root chord movement.
The basic backing track of organ, drums, and lead guitar is supplemented by trumpets and a bass clarinet. Artsy restraint is exercised by delaying the trumpet entrance until the second instrumental break, and then bringing it back for the final refrains, and for selected frames of the outro.
George of course gets the double tracked lead vocal, backed by John and Paul in the refrains and outro.
Section-by-Section Walkthrough
The broad scope of the song is intimated right from the start with a long two-phase intro that lasts a bit longer than a full minute.
The first phase, alone, is 16 seonds long, and kicks off with "To your mother" (in 9th grade I got punched VERY hard in the stomach by one Leo Sullivan for saying this to him during home room), and a high-pitched G Major chord followed by noisy feedback.
The second phase is built out like this:
One phrase worth of refrain (plus a single lingering "spacer" measure) scored for organ without other backing instruments or percussion.
One full instrumental refrain with lead guitar, bass and percussion in the form of drum kit and handclaps; the latter recorded with a surrealistically wide stereo image.
One more full refrain, this time with George singing the title phrase, starting off in the unlikely context of the pickup to the second measure of each phrase; surprise :-) And there's one more spacer measure just before the first verse kicks in.
As mentioned above, we have a straightforward eight measure section with AA' parallel phrasing and just a plain I chord.
And again, we have another eight measure section with AA' parallel phrasing:
-------------- 2X --------------- tune |E D |D B |E DBAG|B | middle |C B |A B |C B |- | bass |G |- |- |- | I
One measure spacers are added at the end of refrains that are immediately followed by a verse section; i.e. the first refrain and the trumpet break.
Chord charts for this song will show a C Major chord on the downbeat of measures 1 and 3, and an a minor chord on the downbeat of measure 2 above. I'll stand firm in my claim that there is NO root chord change anywhere in this section; that it all boils down to neighbor tone motion in the inner voices superimposed on to the pedal tone of G in the bass.
The outro here weighs in at around 2:45 in commensurate balance with the intro. Think about it: the duration of this outro is longer longer than a non-trivial number of complete Beatles songs!
On the one hand, you can try your best to "capture" this long passage in terms of documenting its sequence of subsections; e.g. title phrase vamping, trumpet fanfares, the quote from "Sorrow," the "dead" decalaration, a short instrumental break, followed by increasingly giddy vamping on the title phrase into the sunset.
But on the other hand, I dare you to try and analytically "reduce" it in terms of insight very far beyond what it manifestly offers you on the surface.
Some Final Thoughts
I have no doubt of George's mystical sincerity, but I cannot escape the feeling in this song that he is self-effacingly winking at us with the desideratum, "show me that I'm everywhere and get me home in time for tea."
It's an obliquiely phrased mixed message reflecting of an inner conflict between spiritual striving and the backsliding lust for bourgeois comfort and respectibility. Hesse's here, Harry Haller, also know as "Der Steppenwolf," would have been proud. As he put it, "one day I would learn to laugh. Pablo was waiting for me, and Mozart too."

LEDAS Ltd. has announced the availability of version 2.0 of its LGS 3D geometric constraint solver. As a core component of parametric 3D modeling applications, LGS 3D allows users to express their designs through geometric constraints and driving dimensions.
Since its first release in 2005, a dozen CAD/CAM/CAE vendors have licensed the LGS 3D software component, embedding it into applications that perform assembly design, motion simulation, and history-free 3D geometry editing. The new LGS 3D version 2.0 boosts performance and improves stability.
A new API function supports the definition of simultaneous movements by several geometric objects, each with a different rotation and translation. On the application side, version 2.0 defines optional memory management tools for controlling and optimizing memory use.
The time LGS 3D takes to solve constraints has been significantly reduced, according to the company. It is now up to 10 times faster than v1.5 for large models. The over-defined constraint diagnostics algorithm has also been improved.
For more information, visit LEDAS.

'Run off their feet' and no end in sight
Page Tools
"Run off their feet," observed Iris Kerr, a patient in Maryborough Hospital, as a nurse scurried in and out of her ward. "Off their feet!" she adds for emphasis.
Ms Kerr is 10 days into this stay, her third with a foot complaint, and she is satisfied with care at the hospital, 200 kilometres north-west of Melbourne.
As for the nurses, who work mostly without complaint on a morning ratio of one-to-six patients, as opposed to city nurses' one-to-four, she's more than sympathetic. It ought to be evened up, she thinks.
In the next bed, Valerie Pitt, recovering from surgery, said: "Everything's explained - it's more personalised. They popped in heaps of times last night."
The Maryborough nurses received the pay rise negotiated by the ANF after industrial action, but their ratios, set in the previous enterprise agreement, did not change. The afternoon shift ratio is one-to-seven, compared to the city's one-to-four, and the night shift one-to-10 compared to the city's one-to-eight.
Nursing is a tough job in any hospital - in Maryborough, where nurses have to do tasks their city counterparts do not because of the lack of ancillary or specialised staff, there is almost no let-up. Friday was a quiet day by the hospital's standards. There was no operating theatre, no births (the hospital records about 130 a year) and only two admissions, although there were 10 patients discharged, one of the most time-consuming activities.
Yet it was still busy, as The Sunday Age saw while spending a shift with nurses in the Amherst wing, the acute medical, surgical and birthing ward, where Bettina Gordon is nurse unit manager. There were 32 patients out of a maximum of 35, and six nurses available. The day was unexceptional, but in another way, Friday was hugely important for the hospital, which will be 150 years old in October.
The newspaper carried the news that the hospital's $17.5 million two-stage redevelopment would be fully funded - it includes a new nursing home and major improvements for the main hospital buildings.
Premier Steve Bracks and Health Minister Bronwyn Pike arrived for a one-hour tour and media event.

Stoneman of Expos Hurls No-Hitter to Beat Phils, 7-0; HOMER, 3 DOUBLES BELTED BY STAUB
PHILADELPHIA, April 17 (AP) -- Bill Stoneman, who had pitched only one complete game in his professional baseball career, hurled a no-hitter tonight. In doing so, he wrote baseball history for the expansionist Montreal Expos with a 7-0 classic against the Philadelphia Phillies.

Beautiful boat, great excursions, much left to be desired: Carnival Dream Cruise Review by ladimot
Overall Member Rating
Beautiful boat, great excursions, much left to be desired
Destination: Western Caribbean
Embarkation: New Orleans
Embarkation in Port of New Orleans: Very standard and easy. Cabins were ready when we arrived on board around 2. It did, however, take until about 8 that evening to get our luggages. No big deal, though. We expected this. They were serving food on the Lido Deck. This was disappointing, as most of it was cold - no exaggeration. Not even luke warm.
We had a cove balcony on the Main Deck (2). It was perfect and the location was in the mid ship. It was very nice to sit out on and watch the water. A couple of times, we were able to see dolphins and flying fish.
It was disappointing to have the muster meeting at the time the ship was to be sailing away. Additionally, it seemed as if many of the crew members didn't know what they were doing. They seemed lost - new crew, maybe?
Kids activities - First disappointment. More My own children are 10 and 14. This puts them in Camp Carnival and Circle C. They have both been in kids activities on cruises before. This was a huge disappointment this time. For Camp Carnival - there were plenty of activities that seemed fun listed. However, every single time I went up there, it seemed more like they were babysitting. There was no effort to engage the kids or interact with them at all. My daughter's only purpose in going to Camp Carnival this time was to see if the friends she had met were in there and then for them all to leave and go swimming or to the slides. Now to Circle C - this is a joke. If my children can be entertained and involved and love summer camps, I don't see why the children's director can't schedule things for this age group to keep them engaged and involved. Video games (self-directed) and sitting around talking. That's all it was. My son, who is athletic and social and intelligent, rarely participated. He would check it out every day, but would quickly say there was nothing going on. I'm not even certain I ever saw an adult in there. For an age group that is "in between" my hope was that this would be group activities and team-building fun. Nope. None of that. Waste of time.
Cruise activities - second disappointment. I have long said that many cruise activities are geared toward the retired crowd, and I was excited to see activities on this cruise that my husband and I were interested in. Trivia, such as history, sports and Harry Potter (for my son) - SCORE! Not so much. These were all done in the ocean plaza and all it was was someone asking the question, you writing your answer down, and then counting the ones that you got correct at the end. Not a game - more like a quiz. No fun. And the dance lessons... This was something that I looked forward to doing with my daughter. These were also ALL done in the tiny ocean plaza. Other cruises I have been on have had them on a stage where there was room to move. Additionally, every cruise I have been on has had fun game-type things on stage during the day all day for people to go and participate in or watch. Not this one. The stage was only used for the main show every night. That's. It. And regarding the shows... The ONLY ones that were worth attending were the Dancing in the Streets (starts off slow and shrill, but give it time... The male dancers are amazingly talented) and the Love and Marriage one. All others - skip. This leaves nothing more than being poolside or at the casino.
Casino - good enough. Plenty of machines and they are decent. We had a lot of fun in there and were lucky several times. Of course, we put the winnings right back in, but we had a great time.
Comedy - MUST SEE Nery Saenz. VERY funny - VERY adult. One of the best comedians we have seen.
Food - sub-par. We ate in the Scarlett dining room every night and our waitstaff was fantastic. The Maitre'd Shane was as well. The soups were good. The crabcake was good. Prime rib was fairly good. Nothing else was memorable.
Excursion days were fantastic and seamless. Jamaica has my heart. I would go on vacation there every single time. We went ziplining in Montego Bay(Chukka Extreme Ziplining - Carnival - fantastic) and to Blue Hole (not Carnival). In Grand Cayman, we paid a bus to take us to 7 Mile Beach. Be prepared to spend $$ for EVERYTHING there from lounge chairs to umbrellas. And the drinks were $15 each. VERY expensive. In Cozumel, we went on the All-Inclusive Dolphin adventure to Dolphinaris (Carnival) and it was phenomenal. Be prepared here, as well - no cameras allowed and pictures and videos are up there with the most expensive I've seen. But the experience of being in the water with dolphins was awesome. We also snorkeled with stingrays and went kayaking, as well as having a great lunch and fantastic free drinks!
In all, it was a great vacation. I just wish the activities were more interactive and enjoyable. Many people on board were complaining about the same. Really seemed like one of Carnival's largest ships would have the entertainment down better than that. Less
Published 08/14/14
Cabin review: 2353
Great room. Low enough to see the beautiful color of the water and the occassional dolphin and flying fish. Hidden bed is in ceiling and is lowered by steward at turn down on day 1 (if needed) and remains lowered the entire trip unless requested otherwise. Very pleased with this room.

Positive Feedback ISSUE 70
Notes of an Amateur: Petrenko's Shostakovich 4,
Rachel Podger, Janowski's Henze.
Shostakovich, Symphony No. 4. Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra, Vasily Petrenko. Naxos 8.573188.
This release came along too late for me to make it one of my three favorite releases of 2013 but it surely deserves it. It is the penultimate issue in one of the finest symphonic cycles I know of. (Nos. 13 and 14 are still in the wings.) and sonically this one may surpass them all: truly extraordinary sound, up there with the best I've heard. Individual instrumental timbres are magic, balance of weight and clarity is perfect.
Shostakovich's Symphony No. 4 is a huge, ambitious work—over an hour long with a sonic and emotional range that is sometimes astounding to attend to. It is like a concerto for orchestra—every section gets to speak. The first (of three) movements (27 minutes itself) is mainly bold, brilliant, and driving, though it eases to a thoughtful, lyric final five minutes, led by a violin solo, then a more playful bassoon, and finally an oboe. The second movement (9 minutes) splits the difference on the matter of intensity. One of the characteristics of the symphony that we begin to notice at about this point—arguably the one that characterizes his symphonic oeuvre as a whole—is a sense of huge spaces between the instruments, meaning no blended wall of sound. The stage is full of a great many individual instrumental voices which never disappear into a sonic cloud. If these symphonies were paintings, we'd be talking about all of the white space. We have the sense that Shostakovich's aesthetic, his style, is about articulation. This may be the chief difference between the Russian and Germanic ways of making symphonies, at least in the eyes of Shostakovich. And it is clearly what makes Petrenko's Shostakovich cycle so singularly powerful. When Petrenko looks at the score he sees (and hears) everything and is committed to giving us this experience.
In the third and final movement (28 minutes), Shostakovich lets the violins, low strings, and winds speak in a more blended voice here and there before returning to his usual ways, moving about the orchestra to let the various sections have their say, sometimes with antiphonal drama that makes us yet again grateful for stereophonic sound. As a whole, the third movement feels like a commitment to explore the possibilities of an orchestra, or of human experience. The finale lets everyone come together for a brilliant explosive five minutes before pulling them back and letting the skies darken.
As I've written before, I came to Petrenko's cycle of these symphonies expecting him to confirm my belief that this music for all its drama and spectacle was ultimately minor stuff. Nearing the end, I find myself persuaded by this bold poet of a conductor that Shostakovich is a major symphonist, strong enough to stand alongside Mahler without apology. If you have not bought into this cycle yet, by all means start here.
Rachel Podger, violin. Guardian Angel. Works by Biber, Bach, Tartini, Pisendel, Matteis. Channel Classics. CCS SA 35513. (SACD hybrid)
Even for many fairly serious listeners, music for the solo violin tests the love. Played on a 'period' instrument, the test is even more demanding. This is music that indulges a composer's and musician's love of the unadulterated purity of music—and the violin. The composer and musician are inviting us into a private, reflective place where the two of them explore the corners and plumb the depths of their joint vocation.
Rachel Podger, among the very few best period violinists in the world, has earned the right to ask us to take the test. She has recorded a great many CD's of public music with orchestras and ensembles—some of her own convening. Here she plays a half dozen of her personal favorite baroque works for solo violin (including a transposition of a Bach flute sonata), relying on her distinctive compound of great technique and expressiveness—and on the quality of her taste in music—to persuade us that this purest kind of music-making is as wonderful and important as she and her composers believe it is. If you love the baroque violin—its bittersweet ability to wrap itself around notes and breathe them into you; if you love baroque music—love of detail, pattern, and sheer eloquence; and if you love Podger's evident affection for both her instrument and its music and how she can express this affection without losing a trace of the music's integrity—staying on notes a tad longer, turning corners with a bit more grace, well there you are.
By the time she reaches the final piece in the program, a passacaglia from one of Biber's Mystery Sonatas "engraved the Guardian Angel," if you haven't passed her test, you are a tough nut. These eight musical minutes may be the most moving of her career.
Hans Werner Henze, Symphonies 1 & 6. Radio Symphony Orchestra of Berlin, Marek Janowski. Wergo. WE 6724-2.
Henze, who died last year at age 86, is among the least well known modernists. He was the dean of German composers throughout the latter half of the twentieth century. His predecessor, Hindemith, has fared better in the concert hall and on recordings, though some feel his waters don't run deep enough to justify the success. Henze, with considerably less surface order and coherence, tends to draw us further in.
This new CD is part of a continuing cycle by Janowski for the essential German label, Wergo, which focuses on modernist music. These recording are the only ones I know of Henze's symphonies since his own on DG (Vinyl #1-5, 1966; #6, 1972; digital, #1-6. 1990. Now on Brilliant Classics). The original set introduced me to the composer, who both stunned and fascinated me. Henze's versions give away a bit in clarity and dynamics to Janowski's; they sound more deliberate and reflective. The music goes fine either way, though I find the new ones make a stronger case for the composer's chief virtues. Another advantage of this new recording of Nos. 1 and 6 is that it presents the composer's revised editions of both, done in the 1990's.
Symphony No. 1 is interesting, but the main event here is Symphony No. 6, a wonderfully pure example of abstract expressionism in music: all manner of detail flying across the canvas, urging us to follow, like the white rabbit. Even on my marvelous new little Audio Note K's, the clarity and range are fascinating. What's especially taking is how Henze manages this same aesthetic in the slow second and most of the third movements, wisps and scuddies of instrumental detail— sometimes stormy, sometimes calm—appearing and disappearing. We can't take our eyes off the canvas.
If you are not comfortable with high modernism, this work will not cohere for you. It is more about a world in which all things are possible than a path through it. It is a great showpiece for its aesthetic, which I find almost endlessly fascinating

50 Shades! The Musical
With sold-out shows in New York, Chicago, and Edinburgh, the musical improvisers of Baby Wants Candy have captured their audience's indecent interest with 50 Shades! The Musical. When a ladies' book club decides to take on the scandalous bestseller, Fifty Shades of Grey—a worldwide sensation with sales of more than 65 million copies—their interpretations of its scenes turn into hilarity. Enactments of the romance between troubled kinkster billionaire Christian and innocent college graduate Anastasia erupt into saucy scenes alive with music and costumes. A live band accompanies the original songs, while dance numbers animate the novel's infamous cameo by the Greasers.
Bijou Theatre
The Bijou's origins stretch back through American history, but it didn't become a theater until relatively recently: 1908. For nearly a century prior to its dramaturgical reinvention, the building was a high-class hotel that housed high-ranking military commanders, influential civic leaders, and even President Andrew Jackson for a spell in 1819. When General Ambrose Burnside took the town of Knoxville during the Civil War, the hotel was converted into a hospital, makeshift war room, and oil-wrestling arena for Generals William Sherman and Phil Sheridan. The latter portion of the 19th century showed the building more favor, and during the lavish 1870s another president—Rutherford B. Hayes—paid call, and delivered a speech from the hotel's balcony.
The early 1900s saw the hotel's biggest renovation to date when it was purchased and upgraded by the Auditorium Company. The newly rechristened Bijou Theatre opened to a sellout crowd, and was a major outlet for vaudeville from 1913 to 1926. Hard times began to pile up soon afterward, and the lapsed theater would have been demolished in 1975 were it not for its eleventh-hour listing on the National Historic Record. Since its most recent renovation in 2006, the stage has hosted pop stars and musical blockbusters.

[WATCH] FEMA, DHS, 386,000 Foreign Troops Now on U.S. Soil – Obama Issuing Martial Law in October?
Monday, September 23, 2013 21:07
(Before It's News)
Rick Wells * The Free Patriot
What if our worse fears are confirmed? We've been watching as the criminal forces within the U.S. government slowly work their way into a more entrenched position in the machinery of power. What if the reason we have so many of our troops overseas, including our national guardsmen, is to remove them from the scene of an American coup?
Could that be the real ultimate motive behind the foreign wars? There is a lot of information contained in this video and the accompanying text from thesleuthjournal.com. Added together, there is more than a little cause for concern. We should all pray that it is just a conspiracy theorist's nightmare. If there is more to it, it will be a real life nightmare for the whole world.
Following the bread crumb trail of FEMA orders, retired State Senator Sheldon R. Songstad of South Dakota issued an "Emergency Fema Region 3 Alert!!!," on August 13th.
Region three is comprised of; Washington DC, Delaware, Maryland, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and West Virginia.
Songstad's research turned up some very interesting facts. Each item on its own could go unnoticed, but the collective facts may be worthy of your attention and scrutiny. The U.S. government appears to be preparing for a major event. It appears that this event is being staged for approximately Oct. 1st. Let's look at the numbers and dates.
UN Peacekeepers began training the 4th week of July and will complete their nine week training by October 1st. They are learning English, as well as US weapon systems and Urban Warfare training.
How many troops are training? 386,000 troops!

I think some of us were confused. I thought you were talking about the information in the site not the sit itself.
"What country can preserve its liberties if its rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance?" -Thomas Jefferson-
"Our rights come from our humanity and may not be legislated away -- not by a vote of Congress, not by the consensus of our neighbors, not even by agreement of all Americans but one." Judge Andrew P. Napolitano
Imo the site is very very biased to the hard right .
It was asked what I consider a reliable source or what ever .
Imo a site or news paper or news show needs to at least attempt to report he story with out heavy bias. when I see a site that is to far to the left or right to ever see reality I figure its going twist every story to fit here agenda . There might be a kernel of truth in some of there stories but they will then twist it like a politician to fit there needs .
Id never expect the NRA to ever report a anti gun issue in a positive light ( just a example ) an would ner expect hem to report anything to the left in a positive way or even truth full .
It would be like some one here saying Obama had a good idea even if he personally cured cancer . ( no I dont support Obama in any way just saying )
its sort of like trying to get the whole story from Rush Limbough or a oposite far left radio person .
watching some of the video from there Id think the guys are way way far to one side to ever tell the whole truth.
As I noted the story never mentioned Obama was furious so I was left confused despite were it came from t .
Im pretty sure this is not the first time one of there stories were complete BS that was posted here .
If you want a source of slanted stories to post on gun sites so every one can bitch about the government or the sky is falling there ideal .
god damn bigun-- are you suddenly an obamacrat? LOL!
we all know it is a BS site. hell most everything in the media and the infoweb is biased one way or the other.
now go watch the VIEW--LOL!
The problem is not everybody seems to know its a BS site . this stuff gets posted an then next thing you know there is 6 pages bitching about there favorite enemy an not one single person has checked if its BS or not . IMO it makes some one look stupid when they collude with a story that is BS. we dont like it when people by into the media anti gun aggenda so why ahould we want our side to follow BS blindly . Seems there are sheeple on the right as well as the left .we all know it is a BS site. hell most everything in the media and the infoweb is biased one way or the other.
now go watch the VIEW--LOL!
honestly I found all the guys blindly going off on the BS story about Kentucky passing tracking chip laws by almost every gun site an right wing rag on the internet embarrassing. Im glad my BS meter was on high or there likely would have been 4 pages of guys bitching here as well. We think the liberals are stupid an sheep for blindly following lets try to not be like them.
J427x I wasent slamming you I mearly asked if the site was reputable an I got people aking what i need to think it is ? obviously you know the site is BS.
Im sure Obam is bothered by the Egypt crap going on . hell the stroy is likely mostly true this time . It were the story came from that made me ask questions .
IM as about as pro gun as you can get but I will still make sure a NRA story is true . I dont blindly follow any one .Thats to funny to even consider it a insult LMAO Peacegod damn bigun-- are you suddenly an obamacrat? LOL!
Many of the political sites send out emails with misleading headlines having nothing to do with their content from my experience,

Review Details
Arched Crown Pediment Medicine Cabinet
- Product Review (submitted on June 18, 2013):
Purchased a number of these for our bathrooms, and they are very sturdy and have good space. A nice look and feel to the cabinet with lots of space.
They are made of particle board, or better stated, dust-board. Soon as the paint wears off, which it will likely do with wear, water will get in and quickly expand the wood-like particles and glue, making problems for you.
Took 5 years for ours to become unusable. Would be nice if they used actual wood to prevent this problem

text: Hi Guys, I have a 1987 firebird with a 305, 5 speed manual. At certain times it will back fire badly and I can't even barely touch the gas w/o it dying. I just limped it home at 30 mph in 4th gear while just barely touching the gas pedal.

It's carbureted and I don't know what the heck is going on. HELP!!
