What Cutter To Buy (Instead Of Cricut)???
Decorating By kathik Updated 19 Apr 2010 , 1:03am by JenniferAtwood
Okay, I was all geared up and saving towards a Cricut Cake Cutting Machine, but after learning about ProvoCrafts lack of ethics (my opinion), I am looking for another option.
Does anyone have experience sucessfully using a different cutter with Linda McClure's methods?
Sorry, no answer for you. I just wanted to say that I'm in the same situation. I was looking for the chance to pick up a Cricut at a good price, but have become really disgusted by the heavy-handed way Provocraft seem to be dealing with several issues right now.
I would also be interested in hearing about alternative cutters.
Looks like Linda McClure is experimenting with the Gazelle. She talks about it on her web site.
I love my Silhouette. I have not cut gumpaste with it, but I do cut icing sheets. I also make cupcake wrappers and cookie bag toppers with it.
It comes with its own software, Robomaster, so there are no cartridges or additional software to buy.
It also has a nifty print and cut feature. I do a lot of edible image cookies. I design the image in Printshop, then take it into Robomaster, where you can print it on the icing sheet, with an edible image printer, of course, then cut it with the Silhouette.
I bought mine on ebay, new and free shipping, for $169. I used the "Buy now or Best Offer", and they accepted my offer. I think they run about $250, if you can't find a deal.
Sorry so long and no gumpaste, but it is a nice machine and I wanted to let you know about it.
I'm regretting getting my Expression now. Other cutters include CraftROBO, Creative Cutter, and Wishblade.
I emailed Linda and she said she is using the BossKut Gizelle and really likes it. It's not cheaper than the Cricut Cake unfortunately but it doesn't use cartridges, comes with it's own software and from what I can tell you can import your own images. I personally feel I need to do more research on the options though.
I feel the same way...I will NOT sponsor ProvoCrafts because of their lack of ethics. Plus I've read that after your buy the Cake Cricut you still have to buy a license to use it and this is something that ProvoCrafts won't tell you.
However, I'm also looking at the brand that Linda Mclure suggest in her website, and I've also heard a lot of good comments for the Silhoutte.
I'm a hobby baker so I'm in no hurry to get one, but hmmmmm I want one!!!!!!!
Just my take...
This whole situation with PC & Linda is just so sad, it's awful that a company as successful as PC seems to be unwilling to share credit and compensation where it is due. I truly feel for Linda and I would be beyond livid if I were her. That being said she did not have a very good lawyer to allow her to be taken advantage of so fully, it's absolutely rediculious the way she was used. I just don't understand what lawyer would let things continue to unfold the way they did!
That being said I love my Cricuts, they are excellent tools that I will continue to use happily. This in no way means I condone this current situation. Would I buy the Cricut Cake, absolutely not.

Hi Andpotts I feel exactly the same way...I was shocked to hear that PC treated Linda they way they did! it is very sad indeed and it makes me not want to sponsor a company that conducts itself with such low values and poor business ethics...I rather look somewhere else!
I have had a Silhouette for almost a year. It will only cut about 8" in width, but it will cut 36" long. I have used gumpaste and 50/50 fondant/gumpaste with it. While I have not done much intricate work, I am getting good, clean cuts. I can use almost any thin, flexible plastic as a mat, too - the expensive Silhouette mats are not necessary.
Thanks ibmoser! Has anyone here actually used the Gazelle?
After doing lots of research I bought the craftrobo - reasonably priced and comes with free software to cut any images you want from the internet. It is actually the same machine as the silhouette but was the Japanese version, they are now both sold by the same company in the US but I heard that if you get the silhouette you need to pay extra for the software to convert illustrator files into the cutting program but you get all the software free for craft robo.
Just one question - was the deep cut blade required to cut gumpaste on the cricut? If so what is everyone doing with other machines that do not have a deep cut blade? Will it still work?
I believe the craft robo has a deep cut blade included with it. At least the one I read about did.
I'm with the rest of you, I had my heart set on the cake cricut , but since learning how some were done wrong I'm rethinking my options. I can say that Linda has been VERY helpful when I've emailed her or talked to her. I wonder how the BIG company would treat us if we needed them? Just wondering????????????????????? There is more than enough money to be made off this for everyone. I can't stand GREEDINESS!!!!!!
I have a little cricut, it was given to me as a gift. There is no way I would have purchased one even before all of this news. As a consumer I found other choices out there that would do just as well. I don't want to be held hostage by PC. when it is just not neccesary. Did you notice the add to the left by Global, Blow out prices! I checked it, the price is 399.
Wow! I had no idea there were all of these cutters out there. I was not aware of the issue with PC. I just bought my Cricut Cake on HSN yesterday and was so excited. I would have rethought my purchase if I knew what I know today.
The Silhouette does not have a deep-cut blade, but I am getting good cuts anyway. There is a longer blade manufactured by another company that will work with the Silhouette (requires the purchase of a holder and a blade), but it is pricey and I don't seem to need it LOL!
I still say an exacto knife works just fine. It also takes less room to store it!
Make sure that you research what type of material the blade is made of. Some are stainless, some carbon plated, and some are nickel or nickel plated. The later can cause nickel poisoning with prolonged contact. Just research before you buy.
I have the cricut personal cutting system. Since I already have it I will not be purchasing another machine. I was just wondering, What material is the blade for the cricut made of? Should I be concerned about posining with this one? Thanks.
I am 99.9% sure that blade on the cricut expression is carbon coated. However, I am not sure what type of carbon. I will not tell you it is safe or toxic as I do not want to be held liable, I am sure you understand.
ibmoser, would you mind sharing the settings and recipe you are using with your silhouette?
I have tried it once but it was dragging and tearing the material.
You are right, the craftrobo comes with 3 blades, shallow, medium and deep. I have been using the deep one but thought there was a special perhaps deeper one to be purchased separately.
Good to know about nickel. I didn't think about that at all.
I think Jennifer's remark about the type of blades the other machines use is silly. She has no way of knowing what they are made of. She sells Provo Craft products, including the Cricut Cake machine, and what she is doing by posting a remark like this is either malicious or ill-informed. Here is the research on the subject. So, if you have one of the other machines feel comfortable using it. Do not worry about nickle poisoning.
The most common harmful health effect of nickel in humans is an allergic reaction. Approximately 10-20% of the population is sensitive to nickel. A person can become sensitive to nickel when jewelry or other items containing nickel are in direct contact and prolonged contact with the skin. Wearing jewelry containing nickel in ears or other body parts that have been newly pierced may also sensitize a person to nickel. However, not all jewelry containing nickel releases enough of the nickel ion to sensitize a person. Once a person is sensitized to nickel, further contact with the metal may produce a reaction. The most common reaction is a skin rash at the site of contact. In some sensitized people, dermatitis (a type of skin rash) may develop in an area of the skin that is away from the site of contact. For example, hand eczema (another type of skin rash) is fairly common among people sensitized to nickel. Some workers exposed to nickel by inhalation can become sensitized and have asthma attacks, but this is rare. People who are sensitive to nickel have reactions when nickel comes into prolonged contact with the skin. Some sensitized individuals react when they eat nickel in food or water or breathe dust containing nickel. More women are sensitive to nickel than men. This difference between men and women is thought to be a result of greater exposure of women to nickel through jewelry and other metal items.
People who are not sensitive to nickel must eat very large amounts of nickel to suffer harmful health effects. Workers who accidentally drank light-green water containing 250 ppm of nickel from a contaminated drinking fountain had stomach aches and suffered adverse effects in their blood (increased red blood cells) and kidneys (increased protein in the urine). This concentration of nickel is more than 100,000 times greater than the amount usually found in drinking water.
Oh no! I pre-ordered the cake cricut as I use my 'non-cake' cricut quite a bit in the bakery. Did I miss something? Can't find any posts on what the issue is so will someone please educate me.
Also, what's the deal about having to buy a separate license to use it after I already bought the cake cricut.
Any input will be most appreciated as I'll certainly have no issue cancelling the order whether they allow it or not!!
Please help as this was an investment I thought was worthwhile!!
snowshoe, see link below that will "catch you up" on all the issues with Cricut Cake.

I am sorry you feel that way. I don't care what type of machine someone buys. If a machine works for you then great. I didn't tell anyone to not buy a machine only to research the machine they wanted to buy. I do sell cricut products on my site, because I had several people in the baking community ask if they could purchase it from me. I will also be carrying a few other items non PC related soon. I said in my post with "prolonged use" and people can have a allergic reaction to nickel. I can have a way of knowing that. You can too. It is called research. Call the company, google it, read an article in print. I research the products I use in my store. I used the expression and I found that it is a carbon coated blade. The cake is stainless steal. I research these things because I care about my customers. I want to know what I am talking about if someone comes in claiming they had an allergic reaction to a product.
snowshoe, see link below that will "catch you up" on all the issues with Cake.
Thanks for the link (so suprised I didn't see it). I don't use cartridges as my designs are all done using graphic programs and tracing into SCAL. But the SCAL people (who responded in a matter of seconds from my email) told me they don't know if their product will work with the cake cricut. Looks like I may be returning it or cancelling my order. Bummer - but glad I saw these posts.
I always read and never write on here, but this is wrong yall!
brooklyncaillouet or linda mccLure: just because u want that people use other cutters dont mean its all good. Im buying a cutter and not sure which but my sister had cancer last year and im not buying anything that puts some kinda anything in my gumpaste. All that girl said is to do ur research and ill make sure i do that. I dont want no three legged grandbabies neither.
Looking at ur posts, i think its wrong u pretend to be somebody else. anD then all u do is try to sell ur dvds.
I am Linda McClure and we ship ALL OVER THE WORLD! GO to my web site w w w . c r e a t i v e d e s i g n s c a k e s . c o m to order. Jeff will be happy to send you the DVDs and we do not charge extra for international shipping.
Here http://cakecentral.com/cake-decorating-ftopicp-6704099-.html#6704099
I hope this comes out right I had to have my son help with the link thing.
Hmmm, I wonder what my exacto blades are made of?

Good children's literature is really a genre in its own right -- something that adults can enjoy just as much as children -- if the author does a good job of setting up strong characters and an engaging story.
That's exactly what Richard Peck has achieved in his novel "The Best Man."
The book is told from the perspective of sixth-grader Archer Magill, and tells of his life with his family and classmates as he grows through the elementary school years and enters into middle school.
Kids will love this book because of Arthur's realistic escapades told in a funny voice, and adults will relate to the close-knit family and their struggles and triumphs as they navigate through some tough, but very real issues.
One of the best parts of this books is that the issues the characters deal with aren't exaggerated for comedic or dramatic effect as they so often are in children's books. Also, one of the main themes -- Arthur's realization that his favorite uncle is gay and his enthusiastic support of that uncle's relationship with one of his teachers -- is dealt with in a manner that doesn't sensationalize the question of homosexuality. Rather, the author relates his character learning about his uncle's sexual orientation in a compassionate, matter-of-fact, everyday manner -- much the way this generation children will likely encounter the issue as they grow up.
This book is definitely worth a read -- for both your kids and you!

Overview Edit
Under the primary jurisdiction doctrine, "a court is 'obliged to defer' to an agency where the 'issue brought before a court is in the process of litigation through procedures originating in the [agency].'"[1]
"The question of whether an issue is within [an] agency's primary jurisdiction is different from the question of whether the agency actually has exclusive statutory jurisdiction to resolve an issue."[2] Specifically, for an issue to fall within an agency's primary jurisdiction, the agency need not possess definite authority to resolve it; rather, there need only be "sufficient statutory support for administrative authority . . . that the agency should at least be requested to . . . proceed[]" in the first instance.[3] "[D]etermination of the agency's primary jurisdiction involves a . . . pragmatic evaluation of the advantages and disadvantages of allowing the agency to resolve an issue in the first instance."[4]

By Paul Tenorio
Washington Post Staff Writer
Tuesday, May 26, 2009
On a Sunday afternoon in April at the Maryland SoccerPlex in Boyds, Abdul "Bill" Hamid stood menacingly in the goalkeeper's area as the D.C. United under-18 development academy team played, shouting direction at his defenders: where to move, where opposing players were making runs from, when to push forward.
At 6 feet 4 and 230 pounds, Hamid mans his position with a presence that demands attention from anyone near the field -- his teammates, the opposition and spectators. On the sideline a few feet away, fellow goalkeeper Samir Badr watched his teammate. A day earlier, it was Badr barking orders to defenders, going airborne to snatch crosses before the balls found rushing attackers.
While Badr plays with flash, Hamid's style is blue-collar. Both are among the top goalkeeping prospects in the United States, which has produced some of the world's top netminders. Badr is an under-17 national pool player who also plays for Robinson High School. Hamid is an under-20 national pool talent. Just teenagers, both have set their sights on European professional contracts. And both may find themselves playing overseas by the end of the summer.
Badr recently returned from a training stint with two Portugese clubs, FC Porto and Sporting Lisbon, and said he is set to sign a reserve contract with Porto this week.
Hamid nearly inked a reserve deal with Scottish club Celtic a year ago before issues with a work visa got in the way. Now, with less than a month remaining before he graduates, Hamid has drawn strong interest from two European clubs.
"They're both a little different in the kind of goalkeepers they are, in their style," D.C. United General Manager Dave Kasper said. "They're both very good athletes, they both read the game very well. Technically, there are things they need to work on, but they both have the ingredients that it takes to be a successful [professional] goalkeeper."
Hamid's size -- and talent -- have had him on the national radar for nearly five years. His father, Sully Hamid, a Sierra Leone native, is president of Premier Athletics Club, a youth soccer organization in the area that had Bill playing with kids older than him since he was 4.
"Bill is a little bit of a special case," said Judah Cooks, who coaches D.C United's under-18 academy. "He's always been larger than most kids his age, he's pretty much been in the top in the country since he was 13. When he was 16 . . . I think he started to truly see he could possibly make it."
In November 2007, Hamid went on his first trial with a European team, flying to Scotland for an audition with Celtic, the country's premier club. After a strong trial, Hamid returned to Glasgow last spring.
"Stepping on [the field] with players like [Shunsuke] Nakamura, one of the best free-kick takers in the world, it was an amazing experience," Hamid said. "I actually vomited on the very first day I walked onto the field. Not even probably 10 minutes after I walked on. I was young, I was kind of scared."
Hamid's nerves eventually settled, and he impressed the staff of the prestigious European side. The work visa issues prevented him from signing then, but recently he traveled to Europe for trials with three European clubs he declined to name, although he acknowledged two teams were eager to move forward. Hamid could sign a reserve contract as early as July.
"I feel amazing but it's more grateful," Hamid said. "There's so many 18-year-olds in this country that are pushing, I know so many pushing to go to Europe. So knowing I have the opportunity, I feel grateful."
Badr, a Fairfax native, played with the under-14 and under-15 national teams and briefly played with the D.C. United Youth Academy before being invited in 2006 to Bradenton Academy in Florida -- where the country's youth national team players live, attend school and train.
His play last summer during an exhibition tour in Central America impressed international scouts, and his desire to pursue a professional deal ultimately led to his departure from Bradenton. By February, he was back in Virginia.
Three weeks later, he was bound for Portugal. After successful trials with Sporting Lisbon and Porto, he returned home, where for the first time in his life he attended a regular high school, playing for No. 4 Robinson, which faces Jefferson in a Virginia AAA Northern Region semifinal tomorrow.
"It was tough, a different setting, trying to meet new people," said Badr, who has turned in eight consecutive shutouts for Robinson. "And then after I was there for three weeks, I left again for months. Then people you said 'hi' to a little, started to get to know, you were gone again for a month. The transition period from Bradenton, back home, to Portugal [and back] was a little tough for me to adjust."
What helped ease the transition, however, was his return to the D.C. United Youth Academy; with Hamid on the roster, Badr found competition just as stiff as it had been in Bradenton or even in Europe.
Badr is a more slender, quick goalkeeper whose flashy style and fashion mimic the flair of his idol, Portugese star Cristiano Ronaldo.
"I think his technical ability is what makes him stand out," said U.S. under-20 goalkeeper coach Tim Mulqueen, who tutored U.S. national team goalkeeper Tim Howard and has coached both Badr and Hamid. " . . . The areas that him and every other young goalkeeper need to get better at is organization."
With Hamid, there is no flash.
The hulking 18-year-old projects the maturity of a veteran goalkeeper, though coaches say he must develop the consistency necessary to be an everyday starter at the senior level. And Hamid is all business when he plays, often taking a vocal leadership role from his position.
"On the field I'm crazy," Hamid said. "I don't get it. I'm different on the field."
The possibility remains that one or both could play professionally in Major League Soccer, which has established rules so clubs can sign players from within their own youth system without going through the normal free agent or draft channels. And there is precedent in the league for that type of signing to take place.
But with both young prospects opting to bypass college to go straight to the pro ranks, D.C. United could lose both to the open market.
Kasper said D.C. United felt it was important that both finish their high school education. Following Hamid's graduation this month, Kasper said, the club expects to "bring him in for an extended look."
If either Hamid or Badr stays in the United States, he will be eligible for a Generation Adidas contract, which provides an educational grant to the player and does not count toward a team's salary cap. There are also developmental spots on MLS rosters. Such a deal would be comparable to a European reserve contract.
Both Badr and Hamid said an opportunity to play in MLS would interest them, emphasizing that the contracts with the European teams are not a done deal. They're both likely to be playing professionally soon, but the question remains how high their ceilings go.
"They still need to grow their talent. They're not finished products," Mulqueen said. "Both need to get better physically, both need to get better technically. . . . [But] right now, yeah, they're very good. They're in the mix and they're on the radar for people. Now will they be able to meet those levels?"

A spokesman for the international war crimes tribunal in The Hague said the move was necessary "for his health to be monitored closely".
Mr Seselj, 52, has been on hunger strike since 10 November.
He is accused of plotting the ethnic cleansing of former Yugoslavia in the 1990s wars. He denies any wrongdoing.
The court spokesman, Refik Hodzic, said on Wednesday that Mr Seselj had "seriously jeopardised his health" through his protest.
Mr Seselj lost the right to conduct his own defence after boycotting the start of his war crimes trial on Monday.
He is currently leader of the Serbian Radical Party, the biggest party in Serbia's parliament.
He is accused of forming a joint criminal enterprise with former Yugoslav President Slobodan Milosevic, which led to the extermination and deportation of non-Serbs from Bosnia and Croatia.
He has said he is innocent of all charges.
He has been demanding the right to choose his own stand-by defence lawyer, and unrestricted visits from his wife.
Proceedings have often been delayed because of what the court describes as his disruptive behaviour.

Conceptually brilliant, Max Barry's LEXICON is a slice of the surreal that blends magical, criminal, sci-fi, and romance elements into a delicious concoction for the mind.
"Words aren't just sounds or shapes. They're meaning. That's what language is: a protocol for transferring meaning. When you learn English, you train your brain to react in a particular way to particular sounds. As it turns out, the protocol can be hacked."
The power of words is exemplified by Barry's ability to craft a language into a form of magic. An organisation devoted to harnessing the power of Poets, recruits a seemingly down and out young women living day to day, surviving on the fruits from her con on the streets. 16yr old Emily, while poor, is rich in will and determination. It's these traits that serve her well as a student and survivalist.
"Everyone's broken," Eliot said, "one way or another."
Wil Parker is at the other end of the equation, an outlier connected to an extinction level event that occurred at Broken Hill. As the sole survivor, he's suddenly thrust into a violent world he never knew existed - all while slowly unravelling the mystery to his own identity. His first appearance in LEXICON has him chased by mystery men, shot at, witness to murder, and the target of an abduction attempt. This breakneck pace doesn't let up throughout the novel.
As a fully trained Poet, Emily is exceptionally dangerous, having accumulated the knowledge of barewords, she wields great power - power that causes catastrophe be it willingly or unintentional. Her path linking to Wil is a testament to complex yet logical and seamless plotting. The events of LEXICON play out in equal parts action/thriller, sci-fi/romance.
"...we believe a bareword belongs to a fundamental language of the human mind - the tongue in which the human animal speaks to itself at the basest level. The machine language, in essence."
There is a deep seeded longing in Emily that's endearing and unsettling, while Wil is a protagonist in the accidental hero mould. Barry does a great job at establishing these core characters in such a complimentary fashion to one another.
LEXICON is a rare book - one that combines multiple plot threads into a seamless portrayal of believable events. The past and present nature of the plot lines ensures the protagonists aren't without meaning, their plights accountable, and the ramifications of their actions damming.
I thoroughly enjoyed LEXICON from start to finish and will now look to track down Max Barry's previous books.

|Re: Report Builder extension (was Re: [proposal] development for the first AOO release)
|Thu, 10 Nov 2011 16:00:18 GMT
Le 10/11/11 16:16, Pedro Giffuni a écrit : Hi Pedro, Ariel, Oh I understand perfectly well why it is being done in this way, I make my living out of intellectual property so I would be the first one to say "IP clearance takes precedence" in line with the rules that Apache has. I also understand that it could still continue to be built separately, for those who have the time, energy and will to correct the inevitable bitrot build errors that will creep in over time because code has changed elsewhere, but no one thought to bother about adapting those code changes to keep this module buildable. In other words, it will become harder to build and maintain over time because it has been dropped. Nonetheless, even if one looks on the optimistic side, there still remain a few questions : (1) who in all honesty will do it ? - if any of the Linux distribs are interested, they will package it with their own build of AOOo (assuming that some of them switch from LibreOffice to AOOo or just continue to provide both) - what about distrib independent versions - obviously, there will be none from within AOOo itself, since it can not, so quo vadis ? - what about Mac ? - what about Windows ? I think that realistically, resources are spread too thinly on the ground for this to happen at present. (2) what kind of message does this convey to Joe Public ? - AOOo (aka OOo) is destined only for those who know how to build and code ? Somehow, I don't think that you'll hit your target audience with such an approach - a binary version that misses bits of what has become essential functionality for many will not sway people to switch from OOo to AOOo - in fact, it might well even make them switch to competing products. Perhaps someone will find a way of furthering the development of the original report designer instead, because that at least does form part of the SGA (it was already in the initial release of the OOo code all those years ago). I hope so, I really do. Alex

Editor's Note: This is first of a series of profiles examining the major candidates in the U.S. Senate race.
Sometimes, it sounds as if Mary Landrieu is looking to land a spot on the Olympic boxing team as much as win re-election to the U.S. Senate.
"I keep my eyes on the people of Louisiana, fighting for them, every day," she said Monday night in a televised campaign debate.
In a news release after an Oct. 9 debate, her staff recounted how she "led the fight to stop draconian rate hikes on flood insurance" and how she "fought to secure over $50 billion for Louisiana to rebuild after hurricanes Katrina and Rita."
Last Friday, her campaign released a TV commercial it titled "Louisiana is worth fighting for." The day before, in announcing a deal with the federal government that netted $19 million for crawfish processors, Landrieu said in a statement, "This is a battle for our way of life, and I promise to continue to fight for the protection of our crawfish industry." Her campaign that day also noted a letter to the editor of the Shreveport Times from a student who, writing about opportunities for high-school graduates, said, "Sen. Landrieu is fighting for them and fighting for me."
On the electoral front, Landrieu may be in the fight of her political life as she seeks her fourth term in the Senate. The last remaining Democrat elected statewide in Louisiana, she faces a well-financed Republican opponent in U.S. Rep. Bill Cassidy, of Baton Rouge, as well as six other candidates in the Nov. 4 open primary.
If no candidate wins a majority Nov. 4, the top two finishers will meet in a Dec. 6 runoff. A recent poll shows Landrieu and Cassidy virtually tied atop the Nov. 4 field, but with tea-party Republican Rob Maness drawing significant support, both are well short of a majority. Several polls show Cassidy with a substantial lead over Landrieu in the likely runoff, which would attract heightened national attention and a flood of outside spending, as Landrieu is a prime target of the Republicans' effort to win the six seats they need for a Senate majority.
The image of Landrieu as a tenacious combatant for Louisiana interests is not limited to her campaign, as it is reinforced by senators who have served with her in Washington.
"I used to say about Mary, if she wanted something from you, she would grab you by the ankle and she wouldn't let go until she got what she wanted," said John Breaux, a Democrat who was Landrieu's Senate seat mate from Louisiana for 10 years, until his retirement in 2005.
"She was certainly an advocate for Louisiana interests," said Richard Bryan, a Nevada Democrat who served with Landrieu in the Senate from 1997-2001, during her first term.
Looking out for the home state "is something that every senator must include in the job description," Bryan said.
"You want somebody out there that aggressively advocates, and she does that in my opinion," he said.
Bryan and Landrieu didn't always agree on issues, he said, citing the Yucca Mountain nuclear-waste repository proposed for Nevada.
"What I liked about her is that she can disagree without being disagreeable," he said, "and oppose you without being personal."
George Voinovich, a Republican from Ohio who was in the Senate with Landrieu from 1999-2011, said, "Her personal skills are excellent. I enjoyed talking to her. She listens to you. She has strong opinions about things but she's always been willing to listen — someone who's pleasant to be around."
Nonetheless, Voinovich said, Landrieu sometimes pressed her case to far, and would hold up the business of the Senate while she dug in her heels.
"Her activity in the Senate was a little outrageous on occasion," he said. "When she got locked into something, she stayed with it.
"She could be stubborn."
Al Ater, a Democrat from Ferriday, met Landrieu when he was elected to the state House in 1984, at 30. Although Landrieu was two years younger, she had already served a four-year House term, and she had grown up in a political family: Her father, Moon, was mayor of New Orleans for eight years while she was in high school and college.
Ater, with no family background in politics, was a bit awed by the Legislature, and impressed by Landrieu.
"I can remember vividly Mary walking the floor, making a point to speak to people," he said. "She's always had the knack of maintaining her composure and yet at the same time knowing how to win."
Ater contrasted her approach with the "more caustic" style of her brother Mitch, who succeeded her in the state House and now is mayor of New Orleans.
A conservative Republican House member from Dry Creek, James David Cain regarded Landrieu as a solid legislator when they served together in Baton Rouge.
"She was just a young girl in the House," Cain said. "The only thing I ever told her was 'I wish you wouldn't smoke on the House floor.'" Cain was concerned about the impression that gave to the public.
"I thought she was going to smack me, but she didn't," he said. "She was real nice."
But Landrieu herself admits to a "temper," and in Washington, she has a reputation as someone who can be hard to work for, and who is known to employ yelling as a staff-management technique.
Landrieu recently was graded by a national political outlet as one of the most effective U.S. senators, based on her co-sponsorship of bills ultimately signed into law. She points to a sizable list of accomplishments, not all of which included her name on the legislation: sharing of federal offshore energy production revenue with the Gulf states; dedication of potentially billions in federal fines for the Deepwater Horizon oil spill to coastal restoration in Louisiana, and creation of a second program that provided $500 million for restoration; expansion of drilling activity in the Gulf; securing billions for Katrina relief, and winning forgiveness of nearly $400 million in federal Katrina-recovery loans to parishes; and obtaining more than $1 billion over the last 10 years for the Fort Polk Army base in west-central Louisiana.
Landrieu also cites her success in winning federal money for building ships and military vehicles and other projects in Louisiana. That's helped gain her distinction as the "queen of pork," a label she was asked about at the Monday debate.
"Pork is in the eye of the beholder," she said. "I make no apology" for winning federal dollars for the state.
Her performance at the debate was classic Mary Landrieu: She was by turns earnest and humorous, sharp-tongued and playful, candid (she admitted her latest position on the Senate's Democratic leadership contradicted her earlier statements), and politic, and vigorous and engaged throughout.
At a social event in September, Mitch Landrieu acknowledged his sister is dealing with a tough campaign, but said she's a savvy veteran of the political wars. And if she loses, he said, life will go on.
"The Landrieus," he said, "never confuse what they are with who they are."

DPM is the abbreviation for Disruptive Pattern Material, a term the British Ministry of Defence coined for the range of camouflage patterns issued since the late 1960s. DPM is one of the most widely copied patterns in the world, with many countries having their own variations of the standard woodland and desert patterns, but colorways running from red and orange to blue and purple. Some version of DPM currently being used by numerous countries, including Bulgaria, Indonesia, Cambodia, New Zealand, Oman, the Philippines, Portugal, United Kingdom and Yemen (as well other countries). Many more have worn the pattern at one time or another, either due to their connection with the United Kingdom or simply because of the universal effectiveness of the pattern.
The "standard" DPM pattern was developed for temperate climates, and consists of black, brown, and bright green shapes on a khaki or tan background. There are literally dozens of variations, including some intended for tropical and some for desert climates. DPM remains in use with the British Army today, but will gradually be replaced by the the new MTP (Multi-Terrain Pattern).
- British DPM patterns: the original 1960 pattern DPM, 1968 pattern, 1985 pattern and S95 patterns:
- British desert patterns: 1st series, 2nd series, 3rd series.
- Canadian DPM
- Several DPM patterns worn by New Zealand since the early 1980s
- Dutch DPM

The angry workers are said to have shut down all NNPC offices and facilities in a bid to protest the government's move.
Employees of the National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) have gone on strike following the Federal Government's unbundling of the company into seven independent units.
The angry workers are said to have shut down all NNPC offices and facilities in a bid to protest the government's move.
This decision to embark on the action was reached on Tuesday, March 8, 2016, during a meeting of the Group Executive Councils of the Nigeria Union of Petroleum and Natural Gas Workers (NUPENG) and the Petroleum and Natural Gas Senior Staff Association of Nigeria (PENGASSAN).
According to the groups, they decided on the strike after "extensively discussing the pronouncement" and they "observed that the GMD/HMSP totally disregarded due process and failed to engage stakeholders."
"Hence, from midnight today (Tuesday, March 8), all NNPC locations will be shut down completely until further notice. Further directives will be communicated accordingly," they said.
PENGASSAN spokesperson, Emmanuel Ojugbana told Premium Times that the union was not carried along in the decision to split the company.
The unbundling of NNPC was announced by Minister of State for Petroleum Resources, Ibe Kachikwu on Tuesday.
According to him, the oil company will be split into Upstream, Downstream, Gas & Power Marketing, Refineries and Ventures, Corporate Planning & Services and Finance and Accounts, all of which will run as independent units.

TRENDING NEWS: Saturday Dec 27, 2014
N. Korea Blames U.S. for Internet Outage
North Korea blaming US for cyberattacks, promising 'inescapable deadly blows'
NBC News
North Korea on Saturday accused the U.S. of shutting down internet service to the country in retaliation for its alleged hacking attack on Sony, and referred to President Barack Obama as "a monkey" in blaming him for the release of "The Interview."
An unnamed spokesman for the Policy Department of the National Defense Commission denied that North Korea was involved in the cyberattack on Sony Pictures Entertainment, as the FBI has claimed. North Korea also accused the U.S. of orchestrating the internet outages that occurred in the isolated country this week.
"In actuality, the U.S., a big country, started disturbing the internet operation of major media of the DPRK (the Democratic People's Republic of Korea) not knowing shame like children playing a tag," the statement distributed by state-run media said. Two U.S. officials have told NBC News that the United States had no role in the internet outages.
North Korea also blamed Obama for the release of "The Interview," a Seth Rogen comedy that depicts the fictional assassination of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un. Obama had criticized Sony after the company said it would not release the film after major theaters refused to show it amid threats from hackers; it was eventually released to smaller theaters and online.
"Obama always goes reckless in words and deeds like a monkey in a tropical forest," the statement said. It also accused the U.S. of "gangster-like arbitrary practices" and warned "the U.S. should bear in mind that its failed political affairs will face inescapable deadly blows."

Hotel Royal Palace Video Reviews (2)
Hotel Royal Palace Reviews (14)
"Complete value for money hotel "
Hotel Royal Palace is the best place for night stay because in Roorkee there are not so many options. Hotel Royal Palace is not far away from Roorkee city. Price is also not high. I can say that Hotel Royal Palace is truly a value for money. Full value for your money.
"Good hospitality & amazing food"
Hotel Royal Palace is one of the most well-known hotel located at Roorkee. Hotel offers very good service and hospitality. Rooms were good and good in size. Staff were very helpful. Food was amazing and hotel was very clean. Hotel provides reasonably good facilities at very competitive price. Royal place and a royal hotel. Totally, value for money.
"Good hotel with good service "
The Royal Place is good hotel. Roorkee is a very wonderful city. Roorkee the collage is very famous. Hotel service is good and mast location Roorkee is a nice city. I am so happy. I cant believe this picknick.
"Amazing food and decent room "
I have stayed at Royal Palace along with a few dignitaries while in college (IIT Roorkee). This is one of the newest hotels in Roorkee and due to lack of space, can sometimes be difficult to find. Also, given the popularity of some of the other hotels, is quite free on most occasions. The hotel has a very good restaurant which serves amazing Indian food. The rooms are decently clean and hygiene is there in the bathrooms as well as the linen. However, the staff is sometimes rude and can show you off thinking you are a localite or a student - so try to act touristy or from outside to get best service.
"Great hotel and gives comfortable feeling"
It's a great hotel to stop by when travelling for a while. It gives you a comforting feeling. The locality is good as it lies in the heart of the city. The rooms are nice and food as well is something special. However the service is not up to the mark and management is also just ok. The overall experience was nice. It was a relaxing weekend and was fun staying here.
"It was an average hotel in central location"
I did not have any difficulty in reaching the hotel. The interior and exterior appearance of the hotel was average. The staff were not that professional, cooperative and quick to respond at the entire request. The room was spacious but not that clean with all the amenities such as TV, AC, and refrigerator was in working condition. There was no delay during check-in and check-out. There were no activities provided by the hotel management. The money paid was affordable and I would like to suggest this hotel for other travellers. It was an average hotel stay.
"Well-furnished rooms; delicious food"
I went to Roorkee only for one day for enjoying in water park crystal word that was amazing place for chill out. I stayed in Hotel Royal Palace, the hotel is very good its location is also very good and it looks good. The service given by the hotel staff members were very good. The rooms of the hotel is fully-furnished and the food is also very delicious.
"One of the best located hotel; good facilities"
Hotel Royal Palace was located at vary complex in Roorkee, It is at highway road aside. And have very good facility to stay, party, and holidays. Hotel Royal Palace was one of the most well-known hotels located at Roorkee in Uttarakhand which is popularly known as the land of Gods, location was really good and it's near to bus stand.
Hotel Royal Palace is a located at highway road. The provided good facilities. They also have a bar, which provided good service. Make sure you just want to visit hotel for a night stay and day time you want to travel other places.
"Met my purpose but its not really upto the mark "
Purpose of visit was counseling in IIT which is walking distance from the hotel, that's the only plus point. The hotel itself was not up to the mark, the AC rooms do not have any window. I could feel the plight of the prisoners in a confined cell. Only my digital watch told me whether it was day or night. The food was too spicy and all delicacies, both veg

ARLINGTON, Texas — Bryce Petty threw for 210 yards and two touchdowns before getting knocked out of the game with a concussion and playoff hopeful Baylor held on for a 48-46 victory over Texas Tech on Saturday.
Shock Linwood ran for 158 yards and two touchdowns for the fifth-ranked Bears (10-1, 7-1 Big 12, No. 7 CFP), who after their usual offensive shootout with Texas Tech are guaranteed at least a share of their second consecutive conference title if they win at home over No. 11 Kansas State next Saturday.
The Bears are also hoping for a much bigger prize, but a close call against the Red Raiders (4-8, 2-7) likely doesn't help in that quest. They were already two spots behind Big 12 co-leader TCU, which is coming off an impressive 48-10 Thanksgiving night romp at Texas.
Patrick Mahomes set a Big 12 freshman record with his 593 yards on 30 of 56 passing that included six touchdowns, the last a 40-yarder to Bradley Marquez with 1:42 left before he was under heavy pressure and sacked on a two-point try. The Red Raiders then tried an onside kick that was recovered by Linwood.
Petty was hurt midway through the third quarter after taking a high hit from linebacker Sam Eguavoen, who was penalized for a personal foul. Petty remained down for several minutes before getting up and walking slowly to the sideline and then going to the locker room.
Baylor officials called it a "mild concussion." Petty was back on the sideline before the end of the third quarter, still wearing his uniform but without his shoulder pads and helmet.
Seth Russell took over for Petty, and six plays later threw a 27-yard touchdown pass to Levi Norwood to make it 42-17.
The teams traded field goals before Texas Tech scored 20 unanswered points, on three long touchdowns passes by Mahomes.
After 1,000-yard rusher DeAndre Washington turned a short pass into a 49-yard TD with 8:13 left, the Red Raiders were within 45-40 after a failed two-point try.
Baylor then went 56 yards on 13 plays for Chris Callahan's 36-yard field goal that proved to be the difference.
The Bears have won four straight games in the series played at the Dallas Cowboys' NFL stadium. This one turned into the expected shootout even though it was only 7-0 after the first quarter on Linwood's 8-yard run.
After combining to average nearly 101 points and 1,145 total yards per game the last three years, they had 94 points and 1,254 yards this time. Texas Tech rolled up 707 yards, and Baylor had 547.
The Red Raiders, long known for big passing numbers, had three 100-yard receivers for the first time since 2005 — Marquez (six catches, 130 yards, three TDs), Washington (six, 107, one) and Jakeem Grant (five, 150, one). Washington, Tech's first 1,000-yard rusher since 1998, also had 65 yards rushing on 15 carries.
Petty was 18 of 25 passing and Russell, who started a game earlier this season with Petty was out with a back injury, was 8 of 17 for 82 yards and a touchdown.

Daisuke was a lieutenant in the Earth Kingdom military who received his promotion personally from Earth King Xanshi and became a captain. Noted for his adept strategic skills and great sword fighting abilities, Daisuke also has proven himself to be a competent earthbender. Despite being of noble birth, Daisuke seems quite vain and a womanizer.
Born in Ba Sing Se to a militaristic family, Daisuke spent most of his life being trained by his father and learning the art of combat and sword fighting, however he himself enjoyed the more frantic life of a nobleman, spending most of his days partying and wasting his fathers money, he was forced to join the Earth Kingdom military, where he rose to the rank of lieutenant questionably fast and even more so when he was promoted to captain at the age of 26. He has been noted to have had many women with whom he is in a "relationship" throughout the Earth Kingdom and is well known skirt chaser among his men.
Book 1
Daisuke led the Earth Kingdom forces on Whale Tail Island and had a meeting with Prince Zhu to parley; he refused the princes offers which resulted in a number of intense battles between the two nations. Daisuke led his men as best he could; he managed to survive against such a cunning and smart strategist as Zhu. After several losses, Daisuke and his men camped in the southern part of the island, while there he received a letter from the king promoting him to captain and instructing him to capture the Avatar. After his camp was destroyed in the Battle Of Whale Tail Island he managed to escape and regrouped with a few of his men, commandeering a ship he ordered to follow Takeo and Jin as they sailed off towards the Southern Air Temple
AbilitiesDaisuke is an adequate Earth Bender, capable of creating powerful blasts of earth, summong thick stone walls and using his earthbending to create dust clouds, however his abilities are mainly focused on his sword fighting. Daisuke wields a katana, with a green hilt and a golden pommel with the Earth Kingdom insignia inscribed on it, Takeo described the blade as being very sharp and beautifully made. The captain was skilled enough in his sword fighting that he overpowered the Avatar and took the upper hand in his duel with Jin who has considered himself an incredibly skilled fighter. Daisuke also displays a fair amount of cunning, being able to estimate his abilities enough and know when to retreat.
