Each week throughout March I've be dedicating a blog post, be it in the form of a review, author interview, essay, or recap of the Aurora series by Aussie Sci-Fi author Amanda Bridgeman to celebrate the forthcoming release of the latest book in the Aurora series, AURORA CENTRALIS (book #4) - and today, my marks the last post in the official blog tour over here at Just A Guy That Likes To Read and we're going out in style with an interview! Many thanks to Amanda for taking the time to respond to a few questions about CENTRALIS and the series to date.
You can read my review of AURORA CENTRALIS HERE.
(Josh) Your latest book in the Aurora series, AURORA: CENTRALIS continues to develop Welles, McKinley, Doc, Sharley and co. How much fun is it to write these characters and see them grow with each book?
(Amanda) It's been awesome fun to write these characters! They've very much become family to me, and I hope they've become family/friends to my readers also. As I write character-driven sci-fi, it's really important that the readers feel like they know the characters but also that they fell they've seen them evolve and grow. We've now hit book four, and I think that if my readers look back on the crew as they were in Darwin, they will easily see the growth and change the characters have gone through, not only in their relationships, but in themselves also.
Your books comprise action, adventure, thrills, and deeply character focused plots. What draws you to telling these sorts of stories, and, in particular, to set them in outer space?
I've always loved a good drama and I've always loved action/sci-fi/horror, so for me it was about bringing all these elements together – with a little bit of romance – to create a story that I myself would want to read. I think SFF worlds, be it set in space or otherwise, allow the reader to escape from reality for a while, and we all need that sometimes. At the same time, realistic characters keep readers anchored to reality, and hence give them some familiarity. I see the Aurora books as giving readers the best of both worlds - a nice blend of realism and escapism.
One of the elements to AURORA: CENTRALIS I really enjoyed was the glimpse into the future. The notion that these 'jumbos' go beyond the desires of a madman. Are these glimpses going to be more prevalent in later instalments to coincide with the 'present-day' setting of the books?
They certainly are. This series is leading up to a 'big event' which will occur in book eight - everything will come to a head in a life and death struggle on a massive scale (although there will be other 'major events' in the books leading up to this). Effectively the first four books represent Aurora: Series One, the next four will represent Aurora: Series Two (and ultimately if you want to break it down, Colonel Welles' story could be considered the prequel!). Book 5 – Aurora: Eden – will be a stepping stone of sorts between the two series or story arcs. The last three books will see some time jumps, but readers don't need to fear because Carrie, Harris and the Aurora team, aren't going anywhere. The Aurora series would be nothing without them – so you can expect to see them there right to the end! Although, whether *all* the members of the Aurora team make it through to the end is another thing….
Space, as you touched upon in your recent guest post on this blog, presents itself with endless opportunities in science fiction – how did you draw together the different aspects of the Aurora series to make it what it is today?
With regards to the world-building of the Aurora series, I basically took inspiration from just about everywhere: films, books, the news! I also work for a project management company in my day job, so I have a basic understanding about construction and town planning, which helped in term of some of the space settings. I wanted things to be a little raw and new for our characters in space; it's very much the new frontier. If the setting was too advanced then there would be little room for the mystery I've worked into the plot. So keeping things less 'advanced' in that respect made it easier and more recognisable for readers.
In terms of local writers, some of the SF books I've enjoyed recently include: Nina D'Aleo's 'The Last City' and 'The Forgotten City', Max Barry's 'Lexicon', Marianne De Pierres' 'Peacemaker'. I'm also halfway through Keith Stevenson's Horizon, which I'm enjoying. For international writers, I really enjoyed Ernest Cline's 'Ready Player One', Andy Weir's 'The Martian' and John Scalzi's 'Lock In'.
If you could sum up the Aurora series in a sentence, what would it be?
It's the tale of two very different people, with one common goal: survival.
What's next for Carrie Welles and the Aurora series?
Tell, without giving too many spoilers away, both Carrie and Harris have some serious work to do to pull themselves together after what happened in Centralis . . . Once they do, they need to focus firmly on their future, because if they don't, the consequences could be devastating . . .

|Re: Serializing Rhino continuations?
|Sat, 25 Oct 2003 01:38:39 GMT
Hi Steve, I don't think that approach will work very well. Although it is possible to serialize continuations, I think it is unlikely to work in most cases. The continuation brings in all variables accessible in its scope - many such objects will likely not be serializable. In addition, you must exclude built-in Rhino objects. You can accomplish this by overriding the resolveObject() and replaceObject() methods of ObjectInputStream and ObjectOutputStream to not serialize such objects in the source VM and to bind them to their equivalent versions in the target VM's instance of Rhino (see the org.mozilla.javascript.serialize package for an example of how to do this). Finally, serializing entire continuations is likely to very expensive. A proper replication architecture would only propagate state changes between servers, not an entire copy of a state.

How can I position the fields side by side?Asked by mdscj1 on August 28, 2016 at 06:41 PM
How do I make the fields side by side? For example, first name & last name fields side by side on the same line.
JotForm Support
By default, fields are expanded in full width of the form. You can set your fields to sit side by side by shrinking the size of your field. You can get to know more about this from this guide: https://www.jotform.com/help/90-Form-field-positioning
If you have questions or if you need assistance, please let us know.
I read the guide, shrink the fields but still not able to get my fields email and mobile # on the same line side by side. Can you take a look at my "United Sports App Team" form and let me know how to do this.
JotForm Support
Hello again,
I've moved your email down and moved the country field up. What I did was drag and dropped the email addres field field and then used the settings to move it down. Then used the settings on the country field to move it up. As a result, Email and Phone number sits side by side.
But if you have a position in mind, please let us know so we can adjust it for you.
I have a related problem.As you can see on the image the size of the box do not expand to fit the Choose Option field. The result is that the first field cover the calculation field.
You choose a product and the price for product is shown in calculation field.
Best regards

[caption id="" align="alignleft" width="260"] Banjo, attempting to play with all of her toys at once[/caption] I keep telling this story so I figured I should commit it to writing. It really exemplifies life with Banjo. I think she's a doggie version of me, meaning she can be a real pain in the ass, but she is generally funny about it. Notably, she is reluctant to embrace a leash. The leash is fine to go from the door to the car, and it's fine to drag around the house, but when used to direct her along the edge of a sidewalk, the leash is THE ENEMY OF PUPPIES AND MUST BE REBUFFED. She will turn around and bite it; sit down and just let her neck stretch out (with, I fancy, a "fuck you" look in her eyes); or, most amusingly, stop mid-hop and fall on the ground as if she's been shot. I keep thinking the neighbors wait in panting anticipation for us to walk each evening so they can point and howl with laughter.
I pause to note that it is likely amusing to watch us go for walks anyway because even when she goes along without any leash-related antics, she hops because of her leg. She probably looks like a giant rabbit on a leash. She uses the leg more and more, but I doubt she'll ever be hop- or limp-free.
So. We were making our way around, and she was sniffing in a yard that had a plastic toddler's pool in it. I looked away for like a second and then she was inside of it, on her side, totally submerged except for her snout, poked up out of the water like a snorkel. I tugged on her while dirt and fur drifted away in the pool, and this had no result other than---I'm sure of it---a hint of a smile on her face. I, in a WHITE T-SHIRT, ended up having to haul a dead-weight 45-pound dripping wet dog out of the pool and stand her up.
At which point she looked me in the eye and shook water all over me.
Game and match to Banjo.

Which do I look best with?

- other (please explain)Vote D
Most Helpful Girl
I think they all look great! Depends on which look you're going for though :)
Wavy~ Makes you look your age, maybe even a year younger or so, and looks really nice for your face shape. Cute with denims and dresses.
Straight~ Makes you look a bit older, actually. Looks nice on you. I think it'd be great for casual outfits (jeans, sweats, joggers, Tees, maybe glasses too), because the classy "do" balances with those casual outfits.
Curly~ You look your age! It's super cute, I love your curly hair. Especially since my hair is so straight. You could pull of curly hair with any outfit, really. Glasses wth those curls would look adorkable if you're that type of gal.
I hope this helps! In the end, stick with whatever's comfortable for you, and what makes you happy.00|00|0
Thanks, for the tips. (:

Murray defends Uefa Cup
By Amanda Cornforth
Last Updated: 01/01/70 1:00am
Rangers' Ian Murray has defended the Uefa Cup as his side prepare to face Osasuna.
Rangers' Ian Murray has defended the Uefa Cup as his side prepare to face Osasuna in the last 16 of the competition on Thursday.
Old Firm rivals Celtic face Milan in a UEFA Champions League tie on Wednesday and have already played Benfica and Manchester United this season.
But Murray believes the quality of teams that they have faced in the Uefa Cup this term has been high with Rangers making it to this stage after beating Hapoel Tel Aviv 5-2 on aggregate in a highly charged clash, which saw goalkeeper Allan McGregor red carded in the second leg at Ibrox.
"It has been berated a little bit, the competition, due to the Champions League successes," said the defender.
"But if you look at the squads that are in the cup stillǪ you've got Bordeaux there, who I think finished third in their (Champions League) group; Ajax as well.
"Obviously there are some great teams still in it - you've still got Espanyol, Sevilla, Werder Bremen - so it's a good competition still. It's not taken lightly."
McGregor will miss the Osasuna match after picking up a two-match ban for Uefa matches following his dismissal.
But 35-year-old German keeper Stefan Klos, who is due to retire this summer, will step into his place.
"It was disappointing but we've got good back-up," Murray added on Rangers World.
"Stefan can come in if he has to. I think he's still an exceptional shot-stopper so there's no qualms about Stefan playing."

Return to warrior pose without left foot touching ground. Do 8 to 10 reps; then switch sides.
Make it easier: Don't hinge forward as far and lift back leg only halfway up to hip level. You can also rest one hand on back of bench or chair for balance.
Make it harder: With body hinged forward, do 8 tiny pulses, lifting and lowering back leg just an inch.Copyright © 2017 Rodale Inc.

To the point
Dr. Sweeney homed in on my gastroenterology issues. He did a procedure that went well and fixed my problem swallowing. He did take time to go over the drug I will be taking for a while as well. I would recommend him and have recommended him to many people. I will see him for my colonoscopy when I turn 50.

Having stomach bleed
Dr. Sweeney Sr. was original doctor. I had a good relation with Sweeney Sr, but not the staff, and this observation on the basis of having visits over the course of a few years. When he retired I was recycled to Dr. Sweeney Jr. due to records being there. He may know his trade but does not exhibit the refinement of his father, and caring and compassion is something he should consider making a priority in the future. I just called his office to voice a concern of symptoms being experienced that are scary (passing a lot of bloody stool - more than before the procedure, and this didn't happen to me on previous scopes) to be told it had nothing to do with the procedure they performed. I have just contacted the hospital ER to have my concerns addressed and they agreed that it was part of the procedure 'happenings', but to give it one more day to clear. So, if I had a choice, yes I would hope for better.

Unprofessional dr and office staff
Unfortunately this was the only GI dr. with an open appointment when I was in so much pain. I should have taken that as a bad sign. I was hopeful that he would do tests and help find the problem that was causing me so much pain. Sadly I was led on for months, medicines that didn't help and no real answers. Felt like dr. didn't really know his stuff.

I have over 12 years experience as a Business Intelligence and Analytics developer specialising in both the Microsoft and Qlik technology environment.
Since 2012 I have been developing QlikView and in late 2014 I discovered QlikSense, my QlikView skills were immediately transferable to QlikSense too.
I have also been developing with SQL since the late 90's and have extensive experience in data extraction, modelling and analytics directly from ERP and Data Warehouse structures.
I've also built quite a few enterprise Data Warehouses and Marts in my time to say the least.
My background is development and entrepreneurship (Having created and operated many business's over the years).
I'm still a geek at heart though, I started coding in Fortran at Grammar School (UK) when doing my 'A' levels. Then I got involved in electronics, but Engineering in those early years didn't offer a lot in IT subjects , so I embarked on a career where companies like DEC (Compaq) provided me with Tech training and certifications, the rest is history.
When I get time I will follow my business passion, and commence my MBA studies.

So there's a girl in one of my classes who I think is really cute and I would like to introduce myself, but I can't think of any ways of actually doing without making my intentions clear. It's not that i'm not confident, it's just that I'm not very subtle.
So ladies, if a guy was to approach you, what would you like to hear/how would you like him to act?
Girls, how would you like to be approached?

On the first time you talk to her? dont jump right in right away, just give her a smallll smile and a hi. You got to build some type of friendly relationship before you even consider bringing you're intentions out lol00|00|0
Does she show any signs that she thinks you're really cute as well?00|00|0
She probably hasn't even noticed. She's always on her phone.
She's probably not into you like you are into her. This attraction you feel towards this girl is not mutual. You should take that into consideration.

Colombo: Madhya Padesh wicketkeeper Naman Ojha and Karnataka batsman Karun Nair were yesterday named as replacements for injured Wriddhiman Saha and Murali Vijay, respectively, for the remainder of India's tour of Sri Lanka.
"Saha has sustained a strain in his lower right hamstring and would require rehabilitation and strength training to recover completely," BCCI said in a statement.
"Vijay has sustained mild reoccurrence on his pre-existing injury in his right hamstring and would need further strength training to recover completely," the release added.

Down 36 Students, College Will Lose 40 Jobs
As the economy has declined rapidly this fall, experts on liberal arts colleges have warned many times that it doesn't take more than a few dozen students not showing up to upset an institution's economic assumptions -- with serious consequences for students and professors. On Friday, Beloit College provided a perfect example of this reality:
The college announced that it will eliminate 40 positions (with faculty jobs included in the mix) -- about 10 percent of the college's total employees. The reason is that this year's total student enrollment is smaller, by 36 students, than the college had planned. (Total enrollment ended up at 1,289.) At Ohio State, 36 students would be a rounding error. But at Beloit -- and at many liberal arts colleges -- that's enough to create real problems and force real change, including layoffs.
Beloit is not among the colleges that need to explore mergers to survive -- and is by most measures highly successful, known for the strength of its liberal arts programs and as a Wisconsin alternative to the large public universities that thrive in the Midwest. But at a time that even institutions the likes of Williams College -- with an endowment more than 10 times the size of Beloit's -- are talking about economizing, it's no surprise that the choices aren't easy.
Leading the effort to cut is Dick Niemiec, an alumnus who, after 33 years at Blue Cross Blue Shield, left his role as a trustee of the college to become interim president while a search goes on for a permanent president to replace John Burris, who left to become head of the Burroughs Wellcome Fund. Niemiec -- who makes no attempt to hide his non-academic perspective, but who has been praised by many on the campus for keeping students and faculty in the loop on budget problems -- is not a candidate for the job on a permanent basis.
In an interview Saturday, Niemiec described the limitations on how the college can respond to the $1 million deficit it faces because of the students who didn't arrive this fall. About three-quarters of the college's $55 million budget comes from tuition, and other sources -- including endowment income -- aren't going to be much help this year, he said. At the end of the college's last fiscal year -- May 31 -- the endowment was valued at $135 million. Now the value is less than $100 million.
There was no one reason for the enrollment decline. Some students who had been expected to start decided not to. Others who were expected back didn't return. In boch cases, some students cited the economy, opting either to delay their educations or to seek one elsewhere. And part of what Niemiec said he's trying to do is position the college to be able to thrive if there is another such evaporation of students next year. "What if there are 50 fewer next year?" he asked, adding quickly that he is hopeful that won't be the case.
Total costs at Beloit are about $38,000, but the college's discount rate -- the percentage that the college doesn't end up receiving in tuition revenue, because of aid awarded -- is 42 percent, a figure Niemiec said he's comfortable with but doesn't want to see go up.
While the college has looked for various ways to save money, Niemiec said that cutting positions needed to be part of the solution. He said he has been analyzing comparative data from other colleges and believes that the college can function with a smaller employee base. As a first step, the college has asked all employees who think they may retire this year to come forward and identify themselves to supervisors so Beloit can get a handle on how many may leave naturally. Niemiec said he hoped that would make up a chunk of the 40 slots, although some of those who come forward may need to be replaced, in which case another job would have to go. Tenured professors will be protected, he said, but some of the faculty jobs that could be eliminated may be lines that are used when professors are on sabbatical, or adjunct positions that fill out a department.
"Any time you do a layoff it's not an easy situation," he said. "But we have to do this for the long-term view."
As part of that perspective, Niemiec also has asked a panel of faculty members -- who already were working on a curricular review -- to also consider how the college can remain competitive for faculty talent and adjust to tighter economic times. He has delayed -- pending this review -- the approval of tenure-track faculty lines (a process that typically happens when a tenured faculty member retires), and asked that this year's and next year's consideration of such slots take place together, rather than on a department-by-department basis.
Niemiec said he is not trying to push any one model on the faculty, and wants professors' ideas. But he suggested that at least some of the questions must involve numbers of jobs. "You have to look at how you fill slots in a department," he said. "Do you need six chemistry teachers as opposed to five?"
On Friday, Niemiec held an open meeting where he announced the decision to eliminate 40 positions, and took questions.
Diane Lichtenstein, a professor of English and chair of the faculty panel reviewing the college's options, said that professors are "very positive" about the president's "honesty and transparency." While people don't want to see positions eliminated, she said that Niemiec has been talking openly about the financial problems throughout the fall, and has been receptive to input from all.
The faculty members reviewing the curriculum have been talking about these issues for some time, well before this fall's financial concerns, she stressed. So the idea that it's time to think about how and what students are taught is generally accepted. What will be more difficult, she said, will be to consider these issues in light of the economic constraints that weren't present when professors first planned the review. The goal, with the review and job eliminations, she said, is a good one: "Get the place in a position where a new president can come in and build, and not have to deal with crises."
But the faculty is just starting the conversation, she stressed. At a meeting last week, Lichtenstein said she was trying to get a sense from colleagues about "how much change they are interested in," and she's not sure of the answer.
Mitchell Young, student body president, also praised the way the administration has kept everyone informed. "He's not sugar-coating things," Young said of the interim president, and that's good. He said some students realized that, and were appreciative, while others were stunned Friday by the news that jobs would be eliminated, and were angry.
Young said he views the cuts as "highly unfortunate but necessary." He said it is more difficult than people realize for students and faculty members to talk about which positions could be eliminated. The classics department has two full-time faculty members, he said, and some worry that smaller departments like that could disappear. To students outside the department, that might seem OK, but what about the college's overall offerings as a liberal arts institution, he asked?
And the value of individuals, he added, isn't apparent in a job title or even official responsibilities. Young said that Beloit is a college where every student thinks about some professors or others who have personally connected with them, even if not part of their official jobs. That makes it more difficult, he said, to say any position is expendable. "People seem to be asking us what programs keep us here," he said. "But at Beloit it's who keeps them here, not what."

I have several clients that are dairy-free. Will using Crisco and/or margarine work for making a frosting transfer?
you have to read the labels -- crisco should be ok -- oh but you mean will the icing work -- yes it will -- made with crisco for a transfer -- margarines and spreads are weird products some have too much water or strange things in them -- but that's mostly for when you're baking with them -- they should also be fine for icing transfers --
best to you
Crisco is dairy-free. What I want to know is will it work as well as buttercream for the transfer? I have only tried making it w/Crisco and found that it did not freeze (not sure if a real buttercream completely freezes).
what's a real buttercream? idk --
crisco buttercream will freeze
I've read several articles about it being 50/50 butter/crisco not 100% crisco - so that's why I'm asking
'buttercream' is an all inclusive name for any recipe that incorporates fat, confectioner's sugar, flavor and usually a liquid -- so there are ten thousand recipes for it -- it is not just one thing -- even if there is no butter and no cream it is called 'buttercream' to the dismay of the purist

Cheeseburger In Paradise
February 8, 2012 by staff
Cheeseburger In Paradise, Derek, Amy and the grandchildren invited us to spend a few weeks with them one summer in Maui. It was to be a summer of endless fun, exploring and sightseeing. We just didn't realize they'd decided on a summer of fun, sightseeing, exploring and reduced carbohydrate dining.
It was fun in the beginning – all sorts of exotic fruits, with smoothies made of fresh and frozen fruits, crushed ice and healthy juices. We dined on broiled chicken, fish, steak and shrimp – just no bread. A juicy hamburger was out of the question, and French fries were considered a mortal sin.
Since we were guests, and grandparents, the rules didn't apply to us. Now tell me, could you eat a delicious hamburger on a poppy seed bun, with French fries, while hungry grandchildren watched? Of course you couldn't. So, Pat and I went along with the healthy regimen, so not to tempt or offend the kids.
Now, when you've been accustomed to carbohydrate intake four times a day, with snacks, change does not come easy. I'd find myself waking at all hours, just lying there thinking about a slice of white bread and butter.

The 2010 Lexus HS 250h's overall performance is pretty bland and, well, Lexus-like. While it doesn't offer anywhere near the fuel economy of the Toyota Prius, the HS 250h is somewhat more engaging to drive.
Due to the extra weight of the Lexus HS 250h's luxury features, the standard Prius powertrain is deemed insufficient for this new Lexus hybrid. Although the 2010 Lexus HS 250h looks somewhat similar to the Prius, Popular Mechanics points out it "shares a powertrain with the Toyota Camry hybrid," an "Atkinson-cycle 2.4-liter four-cylinder [that] is linked to a 40 hp electric motor." Overall power levels are adequate, and Car and Driver reports that the HS 250h has a total "system output of 187 hp," enough to get "the 3740-pound HS 250h to 60 mph [in] 8.4 seconds, which is 1.4 seconds faster than the last Prius" they tested. Still, it's far from a sports car, and ConsumerGuide says that if you floor it from a stop, "it takes about 20 feet before real power arrives." For drivers seeking a more spirited driving experience, Car and Driver observes that the Lexus HS 250h offers an "eco" mode that "accelerates battery recharging and retards throttle response," while a "power mode does the opposite," and there's "a canyon of difference between the two modes."
Like most fuel economy-oriented vehicles, the 2010 Lexus HS 250h comes exclusively with a continuously variable transmission (CVT) that Jalopnik says is "backed up with heavy duty aerodynamic optimization and driver assistance tools" in order to offer peak fuel economy. Reviews read by TheCarConnection.com don't contain many positive words regarding the CVT; Edmunds claims it gives you "lots of furiousness, but not much speed," since "that's what you get with a CVT" in nearly every application.
The CVT might be a hassle to live with on a daily basis, but it does return respectable fuel economy for a hybrid sedan. According to the official EPA estimates, the Lexus HS 250h should get 35 mpg in the city and 34 mpg on the highway, which Car and Driver points out "doesn't even come close to the Prius's 51/48 figures." However, Jalopnik reviewers consider the EPA test "really pessimistic," and in one of their tests, an editor "managed an astounding 57.9 MPG" with the Eco mode engaged. TheCarConnection.com's editors saw fuel economy at best in the mid-40 mpg range during their test drives.
Out on the road, reviewers find that the 2010 Lexus HS 250h has better performance characteristics than the Toyota Prius, but there's still not much to be had from pushing the car hard. Car and Driver reports that "road feel is pretty much zero, even with the optional 18-inch wheels," and Popular Mechanics agrees that "the driver and the machine do not meld into one seamless unit." Jalopnik, however, says, "The car is actually not a total dud…handling corners in a way we didn't think a hybrid could" and offering a ride that "delivers the comfort Lexus is known for, but it's definitely not fall-asleep soft." ConsumerGuide adds that the HS 250h "wasn't tuned for a plush ride," but it does offer a "firm and controlled" ride. Many hybrids suffer from a jerky brake pedal thanks to their regenerative braking characteristics, but Automobile Magazine remarks that "the response of the brake pedal is linear and free of any sign that the computers are continually switching between regenerative and friction braking."

text: This topic hasn't been posted for a few days and unfortunately we all signed NDAs so we cannot communicate what DJI did or didn't do to the firmware/apps for android/apple. With the weekend coming there is a group of us that would like to solicit situations for testing from the forum members that either did not join the beta or were unable to risk their Inspire 1. I'm not going to be longwinded here, just looking for some ideas so that all beta members that are going with this approach can consistently test the same topics/situations in the various locations we all live. This group has agreed that we are not as interested in the individual 'Bug Rewards' that were listed on the initial posting for beta members, we are going for making the Inspire 1 the best it can be (nice that DJI has allowed the beta). Some topic areas we have come up with are: Return To Home App functionality both android and apple Gimbal twitch/horizon Auto takeoff/land Battery life Stability - hover with wind, in-flight, etc GPS/Compass - Extensive review of the dropping GPS mode to ATTI due to compass The above is very vague as we want people to think and provide all ideas. We plan to get out over the next few days and test hard so the sooner we get ideas the better. Thanks all. James

Dumbass donnybrook: Tom Anderson dares Attorney General Terry Goddard to sue over tranny bathrooms.
Pardon me, can anyone direct me to the ladies' bog?
In a press release issued today, Tom Anderson, owner of Anderson's 5th Estate in Scottsdale, defied the AZ Attorney General's request that Anderson come in for a voluntary interview regarding the dumbass donnybrook instigated by Michele de LaFreniere and his/her demands to use the ladies' loo at Anderson's. Back in November, Anderson barred transgendered male De LaFreniere from his club due to complaints from the female clientele about De LaFreniere's posse peeing upright in the chick's bog and generally making asses of themselves.
The press release states,
"Anderson has decided to not voluntarily attend an under oath interview requested by the Arizona Attorney General. Anderson stated: `If the Attorney General's office wants to talk to me, they need to serve a subpoena. Then we will have an opportunity to see a judge to determine if an individual's sexual orientation entitles them to protection under Arizona law."

TicketsSun., Sep. 24, 6:30pm
It continues,
"The implications of this case could be staggering for other restaurants and bars. Businesses could be required to add a third bathroom to accommodate individuals based on their sexual orientation or their stage of gender change. This would be a great expense to all businesses. Anderson stated `We do not believe that the Arizona State Legislature intended such a result when they wrote the anti-discrimination laws for the state.'"
This is shaping up to be a really, really stupid waste of time and taxpayer ducats. I can guarantee you right now that if Terry Goddard continues to push De LaFreniere's self-serving agenda, he will never be governor of this state, as he so obviously wants to be. Candy Thomas, or whoever runs against Goodard, will surely turn this farce into a fat albatross necklace for the AG.
De LaFreniere, currently the chair of Scottsdale's Human Relations Commission, either wants to use the gal's squatter or have a third bathroom set up for trannies only. Mandatory unisex bathrooms are another possibility. Of course, none of these will happen. In fact, I'd bet De LaFreniere's ball-sack on it. (Everyone seems to believe she still has it.)
This childish fight for tranny toilet rights is bound to antagonize many of the same people in this state who support gay rights, even gay marriage, and that includes yours truly.
If De LaFreniere had been an ounce more discreet when she/he and/or his/her buds were whipping it out in the gal's shitter in Anderson's, the complaint never would have gotten this far. But then, De LaFreniere is a media junkie who wanted this controversy to fan his/her overheated ego. Predictably, he/she has gotten gay pubs on board like Echo, and organizations like Equality Arizona, which recently gave the De LaFreniere effort star billing over an attack on two gay men in Scottsdale.
Pardon me, but, WTF? Do you want to say that any dood who puts on a dress and claims he's going through a transformation should be allowed to use the women's w.c., no matter how boorish his behavior? (If so, I feel a transformation coming on.) A lot of this bathroom b.s. has to do with common sense and context. What's good for Cruisin' on 7th may not be appropriate for some square middle class joint filled with 40-something het couples dancing to '80s tunes.
De LaFreniere may dig a lil' épater le bourgeois. However, I know that there are many gays in town who frown on De LaFreniere's efforts, and find them to be idiotic in the extreme.

Best Uses
I've had this bike for three weeks and have put about 100 miles on it - a mix of single track (fine gravel, cinder), paved bike path, street, and rough gravel/small stone and it's held up so far. Pros - rides well, disc brakes work great, geometry fits me fine. Cons - tires and wheels appear to be a no-name brand, but are holding up; fork has only 50mm travel. Overall - not a bad bike for the price and the casual-to-avid rider who likes to mix it up and hit the gravel and cinder as well as well the paved paths.

Blackwell - No Kilgallon crisis
Sheff Utd boss Kevin Blackwell insists there is 'no crisis' regarding a new deal for Matthew Kilgallon.
Last Updated: 28/07/09 12:22pm
Sheffield United boss Kevin Blackwell insists there is 'no crisis' regarding a new contract for Matthew Kilgallon and also hopes to agree a deal for Glen Little.
Kilgallon revealed earlier this month that he has been holding talks with the Blades regarding a new deal with the Championship club.
However, after the defender was linked with Wigan and Birmingham there have been reports that the negotiations have stalled.
Blackwell has played down any worries over Kilgallon's future at the club and plans a fresh round before the new season gets underway.
"Everything is still ongoing," Blackwell told the Sheffield Star. "In any case, Killa is still under contract with us for another year. We've taken up options on everyone who had one.
"So there's no crisis. We'll be having another chat with him before the start of the season."
Blackwell also confirmed that experienced winger Little has been offered a contract after impressing during a pre-season trial at Bramall Lane.
He added: "Glen has done okay and we're sitting down with him to see what can be done."
Jonathan Fortune, who is out of contract at Charlton Athletic, is also aiming to earn a deal after linking up with the Blades.
Blackwell continued: "Jonathan is going to spend the next few days with us and play in our next couple of games."

But what LOTR lacks in presentation it makes up for in solid strategy. LOTR Tactics packs a good amount of depth into such a small package. You move your troops along a linear path through Middle Earth, represented by an overhead "world map" with icons representing mission locations. As far as units go, each unit in the game boasts the usual attributes such as strength, speed and dexterity, all of which go up automatically with every mission you beat. In terms of structure, the game splits between two campaigns, The Fellowship and Host of Mordor. Each campaign has about 24 missions, including a handful of optional missions that only offer more experience points and (sometimes) a special item or two. The story in each campaign is different, but doesn't feel as different as it should. Since you don't really care for the units as much, righteous or evil, killing Frodo doesn't feel as evil as perhaps it would if the game set up the Mordor campaign a little better and vice versa.
It features a two-step combat system split between a movement phase and a combat phase. First, you decide where you want your units to go on the grid-based map. Instead of moving one unit at a time like in most strategy RPGs, you can move every unit in your army during the same movement phase. Once you've moved your units (and the opposing army has moved theirs), the game switches to the combat phase. Should opposing units cross paths before they finished their allotted movement path, the two units will lock into combat stance early. You can also choose to pursue certain characters to block their movement.
The fact both armies (allied and enemy) plan their movements and attacks simultaneously lend LOTR Tactics a nice twist and helps keeps things fresh. It forces you to think ahead, even more than usual for a game of this type. You have to consider what you need to do in terms of offensive objectives, but you also need to consider where the enemy will move each of their units. This style of play also opens distinctive strategic opportunities as you can delegate certain characters to block the paths of stronger characters. For example, you can easily take the weakest character in your party and force him to participate in suicide encounters against much stronger characters, effectively blocking their path. The weaker character will of course perish in glory, but it can buy you enough time to move other, more important characters across the map.
Thing is, even the weakest characters can block the path of stronger characters. For example, if you want to stop the fire-breathing Balrog or even Sauron himself from making it across the map, all you need to do is send Sam or even Frodo to stand in front of him. So while blocking and pursuing characters is a cool addition overall, it's not entirely realistic. Not that it needs to be, we're dealing with hobbits and goblins after all, but it may irk those looking for a little "realism" mixed in with their fantasy.
The units themselves present a funky mixture of cool and not-so-cool. Cool in that units look like their big screen counterparts. There are also plenty of them. Not-so-cool in that the units here don't really impress. Aragorn, Legolas, the Balrog, the Witch King, cave trolls, Rohan riders, elves; they're all here, but none really stands out. Take the Balrog, for instance. He's one of most visually stunning and badass creature in the whole trilogy. Here, though, he feels like somewhat of a pushover when you're fighting against him. And when you get to play as him, you find he has one sword attack and one ranged attack. He can't squash units or perform moves that were as cool and as devastating as they were in, say the LOTR: The Third Age.Continues

NATIONALLY property market conditions still favour buyers, although some regions are starting to buck the trend.
Buyers have the most power to negotiate on price and terms in Tasmania, Northern Territory and Queensland, according to new research from Commonwealth Bank and RP Data.
Bargaining down prices in the ACT is probably going to be harder than any other state, as sellers hold the upper hand there.
LATEST NEWS: Auction market picks up speed
ANDREW WINTER: How to make sure your property sells
The latest Home Buyers Index reveals which property markets in the country are buyers markets and which are sellers markets by calculating how many properties are listed for sale in each area and how many mortgages are being taken out through the Commonwealth Bank in the same area.
VIEW A PROPERTY THIS WEEKEND at www.realestate.com.au
Buyers' markets have plenty of properties to choose from, which means demand is lower so buyers have more power to negotiate. Sellers' markets have fewer properties to choose from so there is more demand and sellers are in the power position.
The whole of Tasmania was an extreme buyers' market, while there were many regions within Queensland including West Moreton, Wide Bay Burnett and the Northern region in the same position.
Sydney didn't have any regions which were buyers' markets, the best it could manage for buyers was a balanced market in the Gosford — Wyong region and Outer Western Sydney.
It has five regions which were extreme sellers markets, Blacktown, Central western Sydney, Eastern suburbs, inner Sydney and lower northern Sydney.
Melbourne had only one buyers' market, the Mornington Peninsula Shire. It had four extreme sellers' markets, eastern outer Melbourne, Moreland City, Northern middle Melbourne and northern outer Melbourne.
Brisbane had no sellers' markets, and eight regions which were buyers' markets including Beaudesert Shire, inner Brisbane, Ipswich City and Logan City. Caboolture shire north of Brisbane was an extreme buyers' market.
All markets were balanced in Adelaide, while in Perth all regions were balanced except for the north metropolitan region, which was a sellers' market.
Commonwealth Bank general manager home loans Clive van Horen said the figures revealed there were still some opportunities for buyers, particularly those looking outside of capital cities.
"While the property market remains competitive for many home buyers in the capital cities of the south eastern states, reflective of the solid clearance rates we've seen in Sydney and Melbourne recently, there are some interesting opportunities for buyers in the regional housing markets and for investors, particularly in the north east and west of the country,'' he said.
RP Data national research director Tim Lawless said overall the best opportunities for buyers were in the regional areas of Tasmania and Queensland.
"Sellers continue to enjoy the upper hand in Sydney, Melbourne and Canberra,'' he said.
Mr van Horen said it was hard to talk about the Australian property market as a whole as it varied so greatly from state to state.
"But if you look at housing prices from RP Data house prices have been reasonably positive in most states,'' he said.
"By and large the complete market is certainly reasonable.''
Mr van Horen said knowing whether a particular area was a buyers' or sellers' market could help buyers work out whether they had much room to negotiate on a property or if they needed to move quickly in order to secure a deal.
