Doris and Judy: Icons Among Us: In addition to co-founding Swollen Art Productions, actress-writer Dinah Lynch is a professor of theater at UTA who has played a number of strong, difficult women, among them Vita-Sackville West and Dorothy Parker. She offers Dallasites her full-length one-woman show about the power and punishment of idolatry called Doris and Judy: Icons Among Us. She plays a woman who desires to be Judy Garland and Doris Day, but transcends standard drag to reveal the emotional fallout that can happen when we pretend to be who we are not. Performances are March 13-15 and March 20 & 21 at 8 p.m., with performances March 16 & 23 at 2 and 8 p.m. in the Magnolia Lounge in Fair Park. Call (972) 401-1266.
The Playwright's Voice: The McKinney Avenue Contemporary, ready and willing to incite art-lovin' Dallasites with its cheap, noncommercial programs, continues to shout into the wind with the debut of an ambitious series entitled "The Playwright's Voice." The second Thursday of the month series focuses on short and full-length scripts by emerging playwrights as well as lesser-known works by established writers. A Month of Sundays, Vicki Caroline Cheatwood's look at an AIDS death, is the premiere work. The series kicks off at 7 p.m. in the McKinney Avenue Contemporary, 3120 McKinney Ave. It's free, but donations are gratefully accepted. Call (214) 953-1212.
march 14
The Wizard of Oz: Although overwhelmingly lavender, the internationally popular Turtle Creek Chorale hasn't always felt comfortable being identified as a gay men's chorus in a city whose conservative churches tend to confuse politics, righteousness, and sexual orientation. That supremely silly fear of homosexual "recruitment" plays into this, of course. Any gay and lesbian will tell you they didn't acquire their romantic inclinations through some kind of homosexual draft--it was their viewing habits as a kid that turned them. Many a roughhousing tyke went sissy after a single exposure to Victor Fleming's musical The Wizard of Oz. The Turtle Creek Chorale returns with their live celebration of L. Frank Baum's indoctrination classic. Performances are March 13-15 at 8 p.m. and March 16 at 2:30 p.m. in McFarlin Auditorium on the campus of Southern Methodist University. Tickets are $10-$30. Call (214) 871-ARTS.
Ninth Annual Crawlmasters Pubcrawl: The organizers of the Ninth Annual Crawlmasters Pubcrawl in Deep Ellum insist that "the Crawl has always been about responsible partying, not drinking"--the word "always" here means "ever since people who don't know their limit began suing the barkeeps who sold them the booze." So while alcohol over-imbibing is the cultural right of every American, please don't involve others in your choice--e.g., killing them in a car accident or brawling with them or suing the poor schmuck who woefully underestimated your level of intake. The Pubcrawl has seven stops on a trail led by a bagpiper, with wacky games and fellowship littered along the way. The evening kicks off at 6 p.m. at Coppertank Brewery on Commerce St. in Deep Ellum. Entry fee is $15. Call (214) 520-3296.
The Yellow Boat: The desire for parents to shield their children from the reality of death is understandable, but many pundits suggest that not only is it a distinctly twentieth-century American phenomenon, it may not be all that healthy in the end. Dallas Children's Theater presents a play called The Yellow Boat, which deals imaginatively but honestly with one boy's battle with AIDS. Playwright David Saar took the artwork his eight-year-old son created while fighting HIV-related illnesses and transformed its themes into this play; little Benjamin died in 1987. Performances Friday, 7:30 p.m.; Saturday and Sunday, 1:30 and 4:30 p.m., through March 23 at The Crescent Theater, 2215 Cedar Springs. Tickets are $9-$11. Call (214) 978-0110.
march 15
Dino Day: Now that your tyke has come out from under the theater seat after the light-flashing, earsplitting trailer for this summer's Jurassic Park sequel The Lost World, the next step is not individual counseling (that will be needed in a few years). Rather, you must fuel your children's insatiable pop culture lust by taking them to "Dino Day" at the Dallas Museum of Natural History. While the Museum isn't receiving kickbacks from Spielberg, you can pretend they are and sneak in a bit of education with displays, paleontologist talks, interactive exhibits, and a "Dino Disco" that recreates the moves of the beloved prehistoric beasts. The afternoon happens 11 a.m.-4 p.m. at the Dallas Museum of Natural History in Fair Park. Tickets are $2.50-$4. Call 421-DINO.
18th Annual Greenville Avenue St. Patrick's Day Parade: Warning to all those who use the "But I'm wearing green underwear" defense on St. Patrick's Day: the 18th Annual Greenville Avenue St. Patrick's Day Parade is a very public event, so dropping your drawers to prove you don't deserve a pinch may get you a criminal record. The Greenville St. Paddy's stroll boasts any and every kind of entry decency laws allow, so bring family and friends for the appropriate gawkfest. The "unparade" kicks off at 11 a.m. and runs from Greenville and Blackwell south to Greenville and Yale. Call (214) 368-6722.
On Forensics: Joe Voelkering is an aviation accident investigator whose deeply scientific belief in method and analysis also led to his joining the North Texas Skeptics, a group dedicated to exposing fraudulent (and often commercial) practices that are based on gullibility. Voelkering discusses the art of forensic science, which determines culpability through physical evidence and the application of scientific standards. Voelkering will discuss his own investigations, including the fire that killed 300 aboard a Saudia Airlines flight. Let's hope he can apply his own powers of skepticism to a scientific enterprise that's ripe for manipulation and mismanagement. The afternoon kicks off at 2 p.m. in the Center for Community Cooperation, 2900 Live Oak. It's free. Call (972) 306-3187.
Dallas Sci-Fi and Toy Show: The same weekend that Return of the Jedi, the final and weakest entry in the Star Wars trilogy, is rereleased the Ninth Annual Dallas Sci-Fi and Toy Show boasts three Texas exclusives--appearances by the actors who donned the masks for Chewbacca (Peter Mayhew), R2-D2 (Kenny Baker), and Boba Fett (Jeremy Bulloch) stop by to see who can endure longest the most trivial of Star Wars trivia by fans frantic to make an impression ("Have you ever been to Beggar's Canyon?" "Did you have to study the Clone Wars in school?"). In addition to the typical marathon gamings, auctions, merchandise rooms, autograph sessions, etc., there's an appearance by Richard "I Was the Han Solo Knockoff" Hatch from "Battlestar Galactica." Events happen March 15 and March 16 at the Plano Convention Centre, Spring Creek Parkway and Central in Plano. For info call 972-578-0213.
march 16
Phillips Academy Cantata Choir and Academy Chamber Orchestra: Think of the Phillips Academy Cantata Choir and Academy Chamber Orchestra as the Menudo of the classical world--once body hair becomes a reality for its members, they'd better update their resumes. Actually, Phillips Academy has an excuse beyond the Teen Beat factor for its expiration date: It's one of the most prestigious musical high schools in America. The rigorous curriculum there has carved an international reputation for the choir and orchestra of handling some of the most difficult works in the choral-orchestral canon. They come to Dallas to perform Felix Mendelssohn's Elijah Op. 70. The concert is at 3 p.m. in the Hamon Atrium of the Dallas Museum of Art, 1717 N. Harwood. It's free. Call (214) 922-1220.
Connemara's 15th Season: If your idea of communing with art and nature is riding one of those hideous ironcast steers downtown, then get thee to the Connemara Conservancy, where the sculpture is plentiful and noncliched and the nature is spread over 72 acres. This natural landscape preserve opens its spring season today with a display of 12 site-specific sculptural works you can touch and eat a sack lunch next to. Connemara opens to the public at noon. It's free. To reach Connemara from Dallas, take McDermott Drive (exit 34) and head west for 1.6 miles. Drive into Collin County on I-75, turn left on Tatum Drive, go 1.5 miles. Connemara Meadow is on the left, over the stile. Call (972) 934-0835.
march 17
Ukrainian Boys Choir of Kiev: There is a worthy benefit behind the U.S. debut of the Ukrainian Boys Choir of Kiev, sponsored by the Dallas-based Ukrainian-American Multi-Cultural Connection--the proceeds benefit the Chernobyl Children's Hospital in Kiev, which took on a considerable burden of care after the nuclear plant disaster in that area. However, many of the choir members, whose ages range from 9 to 23, were living within a hundred miles of the plant and themselves received high doses of radiation. The choir begins its three-week tour of 20 major American cities in Dallas. The event begins at 7:30 p.m. at the Morton H. Meyerson Symphony Center, 2301 Flora. Tickets are $10-$30. Call (214) 443-1000.
The Line King: The Al Hirschfeld There are two reasons you shouldn't bet your beer money on the Oscar-nominated The Line King: The Al Hirschfeld Story bagging the gold for Best Documentary at this year's ceremony: 1)the hyper-hyped, entertaining, but frustratingly incomplete When We Were Kings is a shoe-in and 2) The Line King doesn't deserve it because it's a depressingly typical, talking-head Academy choice. Still, if the filmmakers lack the imagination to do the legendary Broadway caricaturist justice, their subject remains an endlessly charming, articulate 93-year-old artist with an opinion on everything. The USA Film Festival screens the Dallas premiere of The Line King as part of its Independent Showcase at 7:30 p.m. at the AMC Glen Lakes Theatre, 9450 N. Central Ewy. Tickets are $5.50-$6.50. Call (214) 821-NEWS.

Hopkinson Smith: Although compositions written specifically for the guitar didn't appear until the 19th century, thus incurring the disdain of classical purists who don't like anything less than 150 years old, the lute was a celebrated ancestor whose literature requires little fiddling to make it relevant to the guitar. Internationally celebrated lutenist Hopkinson Smith, who currently teaches at the Schola Cantorum Bailienses in Switzerland, has his name slapped on 15 solo recordings that preserve the beauty of the lute. This Harvard graduate makes his first appearance with the Dallas Classic Guitar Society in a program of baroque music by the likes of Bach, Weiss, and Sanz. The show happens at 8 p.m. at Caruth Auditorium on the grounds of Southern Methodist University. Tickets are $12. Call (214) 871-ARTS.
march 19
A Cloud of Witnesses: Paintings by Jerry Dienes: The 20 oil paintings that constitute the one-man exhibition A Cloud of Witnesses: Paintings by Jerry Dienes are equal parts kitsch and eloquence, a combination that often produces something far more interesting than Great Art. Peter Dienes became a Christian in the early '80s and promptly decided to start painting contemporary renderings of Biblical scenes. The concept would seem to lend itself to the medium of velvet and blue light, except for the fact that Dienes has a way of painting the most exquisitely emotional expressions onto the faces of his subjects. The show runs through April 17 in the Haggar Gallery of the University of Dallas, 1845 E. Northgate Dr, Irving. It's free. Call (972) 721-5099.
Walt Disney's World on Ice--Toy Hopefully, the backlash against Hunchback of Notre Dame won't cause the Disney juggernaut to tighten totalitarian quality control, thereby preventing the occasional, accidental creation of a smart, edgy children's flick. After all, Toy Story fit this bill and stuffed the Mouse's pockets with staggering worldwide box-office receipts. The Disney-fication of this very un-Disney movie was inevitable, as frustrated college graduates with drama degrees don ice skates and masks of Buzz, Woody, et al for Toy Story on Ice. Performances happen March 20 and 21, 7:30 p.m.; March 22, noon, 3:30, and 7:30 p.m.; and March 23, 1:30 and 5 p.m. at Tarrant County Convention Center in Fort Worth, as well as March 27 and 28, 7:30 p.m.; March 29, noon, 3:30, and 7:30 p.m.; and March 30, 1:30 and 5 p.m. at Reunion Arena, 111 Sports, in Dallas. Tickets are $10-$18.50. Call (214) 373-8000.
A Celebration of Spring: Midnight tonight marks the Spring Equinox for 1997, a time of significance to pagans and Christians alike (all pagan-naysaying Christians, take note: one of your most important holidays, Easter, is determined every year by the moon cycle that follows March 21. Seems Jesus and the Moon Goddess have more in common than you like to think). "A Celebration of Spring" features neither overtly Christian nor pagan rituals, just a festival to mark the passage of seasons with poetry by Clebo Rainey and Opalina Herebia, dances by Lora Cain and Michele Sandlin, percussion by Jamal Mohamed, and ritual/talk by Amy Martin and Mahalene Louis. The event happens 7:30-9:30 p.m. at Club Dada, 2720 Elm at Crowdus. Call (214) 744-

Catecismo y declaracion de la Doctrina Cristiana en lengua Otomi, con un vocabulario del mismo idioma
Megico: impreso en la oficina de ciudadano Alejandro Valdes, 1826. First edition, small 4to, pp. 254, [2] errata; the dictionary occupies page 93-251; contemporary red morocco-backed marbled boards, smooth gilt spine laid out in 6 compartments, gilt-lettered direct in 1; lightly rubbed, but in all a very good, sound copy. The last copy at auction was the Phillipps copy in 1988. This is an Ayer Linguistic duplicate with a withdrawn stamp on the front pastedown. "The Othomi language differs in structure from those spoken in Mexico, having more resemblance to the language of Eastern Asia than any other. [Luis de Neve y Molina] was the first to establish a proper system of characters in 1767, which has since been retained" (Sabin). It is a monosyllabic language, which today is still spoken by nearly two million inhabitants of central Mexico. "The Otomis comprise a large number of tribes occupying the plateau north of the Anahuac Sierras. They are a hardy people and are the least civilized of the four principal native races [of Mexico]" (EB). 'The author was a native Mexican, and a religious of the Franciscan College at Pachuca. His vocabulary is still the post complete which has been published of this language" (Pilling, quoting the Ramirez Sale Catalogue), Ayer, Otomi, 6; La Vinaza, Bibliografia Espanola de Lenguas Indigenas de America (1892), 420; Ludewig, Literature of American Aboriginal Languages (1858), p. 141; Palau 142266; Pilling, Proof Sheets, 2316; Sabin 106013; Zaunmuller 293; not in Vancil or Trubner.

I am new here, and relatively new to quilting, about a year. I have used my friend's long-arm and it comes pretty easily to me. My quilts look really nice when I am finished. I hasten to add that I have just been doing loopy stuff, or waves, or jigsaws. I have done some simply shaped flowers, too, just playing. Question: If I bought a long-arm, would I be able to make any money doing quilt-tops for people since I still do simple stuff? I know that every long-arm person I talk to has a waiting list of a few months in my area, and it seems like many people on here do, too, but I don't know if they are all experts.
And I don't mean I would need to make tens of thousands, of course; I really want to know if you have to be an expert at all sorts of designs to get paid for this.
Thank you for any advice, suggestions or info. I wouldn't be asking but I want to buy a long-arm and I would have to help pay for it with some work.

I have edited a couple IR porn videos with subliminal messaging - I posted this tonight. The video is great but watch from 2:00 to 2:20. I wanted to get everyone's opinion on subliminal messaging and whether it can be effective in getting white girlfriends, fiances and wives blacked. What do you think?

1. RUS categorisation & "Browse catgories" functionality3004 Mar 2, 2001 4:12 PM (in response to 3004)Sarah, you bring up a good issue and thanks for moving your discussion to the community forum.
Here's a few recommendations:
1. Do not use browsing tree: Shopping page only shows the first level BROWSING
(aka navigation) categories. To avoid using the browsing tree, create item
categories (aka genus) only and do not link them to any parent (browsing)
category. In this case, no browsing tree will show on the shopping page.
2. Use multiple first level parent categories based on simple rules: I know that
some exchanges categorize item categories by the item category names' starting
alphabet. Limitation to this solution is it only work in one language (not
working in Chinese).
Development is actively looking into the enhancement of support previous/next page in the browsing category page. However, we don't know if it will be built. Also, OEX.com
has acquired a hierarchy from Requisite.
From an oex.com perspective, Requisite created a browsing structure for us. It's
really the UNSPSC hierarchy. It sounds better than what Belgacom is currently
dealing with but does have problems that we have yet to resolve. The biggest one
in outlined below.
1) Browsing and genus level category names cannot be the same and they are in
some cases. To get around this we attached the unspsc number to each browsing
category, but this number displays, without any indication to what it represents,
to customers browsing our catalogs.
Perhaps Worldcrest group can add their Requisite experience here. Are there others out there that can share their solutions?
Dee Frewert
Oracle Exchange Developmen
2. RUS categorisation & "Browse catgories" functionality3004 Mar 2, 2001 9:36 PM (in response to 3004)Our solution to this problem may not be necessary once the Requisite eMerge 3.0 is released. That will allow the transfer of the Table of Contents.
We now create a separate XML hierarchy file that provides browsing level categories. This allows us to create three levels.

U.S. high school reopening week after student stabbed 21 students stabbed
Outside Franklin Regional High School in Murrysville, Pa. near Pittsburgh, on Thursday, April 10, 2014. (AP Photo/Keith Srakocic)
The Associated Press
Published Wednesday, April 16, 2014 7:29AM EDT
MURRYSVILLE, Pa. -- A Pittsburgh-area high school is to resume classes one week after a student stabbed 21 others and a security guard, leaving four students still hospitalized.
Wednesday's normal schedule at Franklin Regional High School in Murrysville follows two days of activities meant to reassure students, parents and staff. Teachers participated in an in-service day following a grief counselling session Monday, and the school hosted an open house of sorts Tuesday so students and parents could tour the facility and speak with teachers and counsellors if they wished.
The suspect, 16-year-old Alex Hribal, remains in a juvenile detention centre though he's charged as an adult with attempted homicide and aggravated assault.
Hribal's attorney acknowledges the boy took two kitchen knives from home and randomly attacked his victims before classes began April 9.

Two days into the New Year and you already feel your commitment to those resolutions slipping away. You're still justifying using leftover holiday snacks to lard your body (you can't just toss them!) and you havent yet started your running regimen (it's chilly outside!). As for your goal of being more adventurous with your outings, there's no excuse to miss Salt Lake City's Crate Lung Co-Op, which brings its artistic road show to town for tonights First Friday art walk.
One might scoff at the idea of progressive works from a place more conservative than even our fair state, but, quiet as its kept, SLC has quite the underground movement of art and music. Some of the movements prime movers, Lung members John LaMonica, Cristie Gunn, Casey Blandford, Iris Moulton, and Cein Watson, aim to cram as much of their art toys, paintings, prints, music, mix tapes, clothing, zines, and other self-published written works into your gulliver as they can. They might even fashion a site-specific installation as quirky and fun as Utahs fry sauce.

PALOMAR MOUNTAIN -- A 47-year-old woman suffered a broken neck when her vehicle rolled backward 60 feet off the side of a road, a California Highway Patrol officer said.
Later, a CHP officer responding to the call suffered minor injuries when his patrol car was struck by another vehicle.
At 11:40 a.m., Rhonda Sue Smithbaker was driving a 2000 Land Rover Discovery east on State Park Road when, for an unknown reason, she veered left onto a raised dirt shoulder, CHP Officer Tom Kerns said. The Land Rover drifted backward over the side of the road and overturned down a sloping embankment, he said.
Firefighters rescued Smithbaker from the vehicle and took her by Mercy Air ambulance to Palomar Medical Center in Escondido, where she was being treated for a fractured neck, Kerns said.
The road was blocked for about an hour in both directions as emergency crews rescued Smithbaker and then removed the wreckage.
A little over an hour after the collision, CHP Officer George Solis was responding with flashing lights to assist the officers at scene, CHP Sgt. Tom Greenstone said. Solis was going east on Highway 76 approaching Cole Grade Road and activated his siren to let motorists know he was coming through, he said.
Solis observed a BMW sedan stopped that started to move forward,so he activated his siren again and continued on, Greenstone said.The driver of the BMW collided with the patrol car when he tried toturn left in front of the oncoming patrol car, he said. The BMW'sdriver, Byrl Hays, 75, of San Marcos, told officers he could notsee the patrol car because the sun was in his eyes.
Both vehicles sustained heavy damage but Solis, Hays and his wife, Dolores Hays, 75, of San Marcos, suffered just minor injuries, Greenstone said.

New York - US government-controller insurer AIG filed a $10bn suit against Bank of America Monday for losses on the mortgage-based securities that sparked the 2008 US financial crash and AIG's own near-bankruptcy.
AIG alleges that Bank of America misrepresented the quality of the mortgage-backed securities it sold to the insurer.
"Bank of America's fraud cause billions of dollars in damage to AIG and we are bringing this suit today to protect AIG and the taxpayers' stake in it," said Mark Herr, AIG spokesman.
According to the New York Times, the $10bn AIG wants to recover represents losses on $28bn in investments.
AIG had to be rescued with $180bn from the US government during the collapse, and the government remains its largest shareholder.
Lawrence Grayson, a spokesperson for the bank, rejected AIG's allegations, saying it could only blame itself for bad investment choices.
"AIG recklessly chased high yields and profits throughout the mortgage and structured finance markets," he said.
"It is the very definition of an informed, seasoned investor, with losses solely attributable to its own excesses and errors."
But AIG said it will not likely be its last lawsuit "against counterparties that have sought to profit at our expense."
"As AIG has said in the past, we are looking carefully at what counterparties and others have done to AIG, and we intend to take legal action against those who have harmed us," it said.

We did have a great date last week. A real "spark" happened on that date, with hot sex later. HE said, "How can I not try with you when you look at me like that" and "I feel like the lucky one here". I thought it was slightly strange that he said something about "when I give him THAT look" how could he "not try", but chalked it up to him giving me a compliment.
Anyway, the next day I texted him that he was "distracting me" and replied back that I had been on his mind all day. He couldn't work out for thinking about "our workout last night".
a pull/back slight poof. It was also the weekend he is moving/starting his job/telling dd that he is deploying. A difficult weekend, and I chalked it up to so much emotional stress on his end.
We emailed a little through this, and he said we needed to have a "serious discussion about our relationship". We talked Sunday night for 3 hours and seemed to work it all out. But, still, something felt a tad bit "off" to me. I asked if he was going to tell his family about me as we were discussing what "being connected" during his deployment was going to look like. He said they were private, but he would give them my numbers. I tried to get to the bottom of the pull back, and I told him he needed to tell me when things were really stressful for him, I'd rather he talk to me. Overall, again, a good discussion. I felt like we heard each other, he apologized for "being a bad boyfriend" and admitted he didn't put the relationship first. There was also some confession of how previous deployments and relationships didn't go well.
Again, I felt good after the discussion.
Then, nothing yesterday from him. I sent an email telling him I appreciated the discussion. He texted at 8pm and we decided to talk.
We were talking about him coming for the weekend, but he was
"blah". So, I finally just said, "I wasn't sure if you were going to break up with me last weekend, I have been a little
Long story short, I asked about his feelings for his exgf..that I have felt I've been "compared" to her. He finally said, "I'm not comparing you to her, I'm comparing my feelings for her to my feelings for you."
Let that sink in a little.
So, a long discussion about how he holds that relationship as his litmus test. They were a typical SI "all heat/rainbows/butterflies fast moving relationship" where, one year in, she asked him to move out, they "worked on it", broke up, got back together and he found out that she was cheating on him. He defended the relationship and the multiple tries because "you don't give up on someone you love. It was a rough patch, so I thought I could ride it out and she would be back." I explained that I want a relationship where the rough patches make you PULL TOGETHER, not pull apart.
I said, "You are comparing me to a relationship where she cheated on you??? How am I supposed to 'win' if I"m battling those early feelings you had for someone that didn't love you??"
So, that is his litmus test. He said he was afraid we didnt' have enough "HEAT" for him. I asked if there was heat on the date on Wednesday, and he said "yes", but it may not be "enough heat". So, I asked how anyone can have "tons of heat" on the second time we had sex, we know he is leaving/deploying and we were just trying to spend what time we could together. Then I asked why he poofed.
He replied that he wasn't sure if heat could build in a relationship, he wasn't sure about anything because he wants the heat from the litmus test relationship. That was obviously damaged/not healthy. He said from the beginning he felt that he should be "cautious" with me, but couldn't tell me why or what that means. I asked if he was cautious because I mean something to him. He kept saying, "I really respect you. I really like you. I know that IS important. I think you are beautiful."
I told him that HEAT relationships generally are not based on much except heat and drama. He did tell me their relationship had a lot of drama, and that "kept him up at night", but the beginning WAS SO GOOD and he wants that again.
I can't fight a ghost.
I told him that a real relationship needed to be based on more. Yes, the heat had to be there, and we were beginning to feel the heat, but where we are good is the friendship/compatibility. I personally think the heat can build since we both agreed we have the spark.
We didn't really end with a decision if we are going forward. He said he needed to go to sleep, and I wished him good luck and we hung up.
I wouldn't even know if I COULD continue knowing that he expects us to have the heat of a broken relationship. He doesn't even see it as "broken" he said he guessed they "weren't supposed to be together but he knows that heat exists".
My gut was there was an issue with that ex. I should have listened.
I am sad. I don't regret this relationship at all. But, I can't see it continuing unless he can work through not comparing "us" (normal, stable, secure, happy with building heat) to (HEAT, DRAMA, she cheated).
So..I know there have been discussions about heat v. solid. Can we discuss again??
so if he does contact me, I need to get my head on straight. At this point, I"m NC.
We knew we were going to have to "fast track" due to him deploying next month, but had handled most of the stress of this until this past weekend.
How long have you been seeing this individual?
^^^THIS. I'm no expert in relationships....believe you me. I've had more than my fair share of bad decisions and a broken picker. BUT...what I have learned....is that if you are already in the "Let's talk" or "We need to discuss these issues" or "Let's mold each other to fit what we want the other person to be instead of accepting them for who they are" stage or place....and you haven't been dating but a short while.... you need to cut ties and run.
Short-term relationships are not worth all this mess. If he was or is truly compatible with you....it would just work and it wouldn't FEEL like work! That comes in the longer term not the short-term. Right now should be all rainbows and butterflies.... I didn't have my 1st real fight with my XWH until after we had dated a whole year! (that might be extreme....) but if you guys are newly dating..... I say move on. He's got baggage and residual feelings for his ex and you don't want to compete with a cheater. His ex may end up getting jealous and find it her personal mission to break you guys up.....(which is what happened in my M) and since he obviously thinks "they were meant to be" he will be an easy sway / catch / whatever. You don't want to be his 2nd choice.
Choose to be 1st and make yourself a priority and then eventually you will meet someone who will do the same! (I'm still waiting) Good luck to you!
D day: November 15th, 2009
Married: 5 Years, together 8
Divorced: December 13th, 2010
New Beginning: Piper/8-3-12
Mostly, I'm just venting.
I think it hit me last night that I was being compared to something that wasn't healthy, and he can't see it as unhealthy yet.
I'm not quite sure what I should say to him if he calls. We had plans for this weekend, and for me to go stay with him for a week.
He doesn't' have the benefit of SI, and is not in therapy. Overall, he seems pretty healed, I just think I'm hitting the wake of that first "post D bad breakup". Nothing I can do about it.
If he is comparing you to his ex...he is not healthy and healed. He needs to resolve those feelings before entering into any new relationships....IMHO. That's another reason why I am still single almost 2 years after breaking things off with Piper's sperm donor. Its okay to be alone. Its not a bad thing or the end of the world. As my dad says...."there are billions of people on the planet.....and that is just one!" Be patient. The right fish will swim your way!
And never grow a wishbone, daughter, where your backbone ought to be.
― Sarah McMane
Overall, he seems pretty healed,
Just my 2 cents but "Heat" ,seriously, my ex used to say shit like that. If heat/sparks are all you are looking for and you never look or build anything substantial then when/if they fade you eventually go looking for you next high or create drama to keep things going.
ugh. just ugh.
He's looking for rainbow farting unicorns.
But, he is still stuck in thinking that euphoric feeling he had with her is what ALL relationships should feel like. So, he is comparing..and this isn't fair to anyone else.
He doesn't buy the "long slow build" that we were feeling as a more normal and healthy relationship.
I'll be able to let it go. I wasn't that invested because I knew this was not going to be easy. I think, given better timing, it could have been something good.
But, I have no interest in being compared to a ghost. He needs to figure out "euphoria" v. "normal, stable, good with heat".
edited to add:
I still believe he is more healed than most guys I have met. He is a really good man. Everything was easy and good until now
it is going to be his job to figure out what healthy looks like.
I agree, She11y, that I think he was caught up in that relationship and somehow thought it was "the real deal" and missed a bunch of red flags. I asked him if he has gone back to see those flags yet, and he gave me the exact dates of when they had problems to when she asked him to move out. Im guessing the problems were even earlier than he said. So their "all heat/all about each other" relationship really wasn't good for very long. The last 1/2 was him trying to get that euphoric feeling back, "tough it out because he loved her".
I kinda feel sorry for him now. No healthy relationship will compare to that, so he has little chance of finding something healthy until he reconciles this in his head.

If he was or is truly compatible with you....it would just work and it wouldn't FEEL like work!
And guys often pull back when they are scared about being in a "relationship" and what that may mean. And in addition, this guy has a lot of changes coming his way! This discussion you are having may be partly that...his feeling scared and needing some space and using this "not enough heat" as a way of justifying that pull back to himself. If you think that is true then maybe saying something like "Take your time to figure this out for yourself. We can take a break from each other for awhile. If you want to talk more about it at sometime, to figure this out more together, I'd be open to that."
If someone keeps stabbing you in the back, then quit handing them the knife.

If you want to talk more about it at sometime, to figure this out more together, I'd be open to that."
I kinda pulled back and listened to a lot of fear from him last night. I know I was feeling the "crap. It is over. I can't compete with a ghost" and wasn't really communicating any more. He has probably never heard this "euphoria" v. "normal healthy with a spark" before. I introduced him to the term "actions v. words" and he thanked me later for it.
We do communicate fairly well for a new relationship. We've been more honest over the last few days with the pull-back too, actually discussing it without fear or pain.
But, it was hard to hear he is comparing me, so I shut down. I was also triggering that I wasn't good at sex as I listened too
which is a trigger from my marriage to a gay man.
So, I heard "no heat=not good at sex/I don't find you attractive" and listening to him have an unrealistic view of what a good relationship was
I probably become overwhelmed.
Totally agree with you all that I shouldn't be compared. I'm not OK with it. But, because I do care for him and we were forming a good friendship, I'm open to discussing it with him and let him mull it over. He is deploying, we will end. But, maybe if I'm still single when he returns, we will have the base of a trusting friendship.
good stuff, better.
[This message edited by cmego at 11:56 AM, March 18th (Tuesday)]
If he doesn't know the difference and expects heat forever you will soon be tossed aside as his next dose of heat comes along.
That alone would be enough for me to NEXT him, because my EX was one of those who thought Heat = love and no work should ever be involved.
Better you find out now than have some long distance deployment angst and guilt.
1. You had "hot sex" and that is never a bad thing!!!
Now for the rest of it...
I also hear "not enough heat" and sense a comparison to "good enough in bed." I don't like this at all! I feel like he is setting you up to try harder to keep his attention which creates an imbalance that just does not feel good. Especially since he is deploying. Is he setting you up for clingy girlfriend back home?
On the chance that this is complicated by deployment emotions and new relationship figuring each other out, would you consider being friends and not committed bf/gf while he is away? A FWB but not really because there is no contact? I don't know what I mean, really I am brainstorming out loud. I trust your judgment and you say he is a good guy who has shared his insecurities with you. The fact that they involve his last relationship is triggery.
One other weakly waving flag for me is the "I feel like the lucky one." I learned here on SI to recognize the "you are too good for me" compliment as a FLAG. It really is. Again, it creates an imbalance and seeking balance later involves bringing you down to "good enough for me." Pay attention to the vibe behind that statement.
I do think him being gone is the cause of this worry. He is projecting that what you have at this 2 month stage is "not enough" to weather the deployment. Is that his fear, him knowing himself, doubting you, afraid of the work, afraid of being betrayed again (especially since a relationship during deployment involves a huge amount of trust), or something else.
I don't fault him too much for having a litmus test relationship. Honestly we all do this. I don't feel like you are fighting a ghost (he left her and everything you have posted seems to indicate no wishy washy on his part about that.) I don't feel like you are fighting a ghost so much as a "best sex you ever had." Guys and girls (in my experience) reflect on the "best sex you ever had in very different ways.
Do you feel like he is communicating that he feels like he is settling? which is the exact opposite of "he's the lucky one." Is this a conversation he is having with himself and it happened to come out of his mouth? Again, I don't feel like it is a bad conversation.
However you guys leave it, I do want him to reach out and define the relationship at this point without prompting. He has opened a lot of insecurities, intentionally or not.
(((hugs))) relationships are work. At every stage. It did "fast track" because of the deployment.
You have all the pieces. What the picture makes put together is still unclear.

A man we only come to know as Johnson is trying to 'negotiate' a deal with the head of the Ukrainian EPA, Minister Leonid Vasilev. Not that Mr. Vasilev would want to cooperate under normal conditions, but as an added precaution, Johnson has kidnapped his beloved daughter Valentina.
Johnson isn't dumb however, so he makes it a point to keep Valentina as far away from him as possible. Vasilev has plenty of power at his dispersal and could easily hunt Valentina down, that is unless she's under the watchful eye of an ever moving transporter.
Frank Martin is trying his best to enjoy a simple life, but his reputation seems to outweigh his desire for retirement. When the first transporter Johnson hired fails to do his job properly, Johnson eyes Frank for the job. Not willing to step out of retirement for the likes of some goon, Frank refuses to do Johnson's bidding, but not before he's told that Johnson never takes no for an answer.
Johnson lives up to his reputation, putting Frank in a bit of a predicament that involves an explosive handcuff that's been programmed to detonate once it is 75 feet away from Frank's car. As an added precaution, one is put on Valentina as well. If Frank has any hope of getting the cuffs removed at all, he'll have to deliver the girl to wherever the GPS in his car is programmed to go.
It's a straightforward plot, but I guess we couldn't expect much else from a Transporter film, could we?
Yes, there are plenty of moments in The Transporter 3 that don't make any sense, and there are enough plot holes that could put a slice of Swiss cheese to shame. The acting isn't terrific, the script isn't smart or witty, the pacing is a bit off at times, but one thing's for sure... there's a whole lot of ass bein' kicked!
Nobody goes to a Transporter film expecting any of the finer aspects of a story. No, it's the brutal hand-to-hand combat, insane car chase sequences and explosions that draw people to each installment of Jason Statham's house of pain!
As I said before, my main concern going into The Transporter 3 was just how convenient the action was going to be. If you need an example of what I mean by 'convenient' action sequences that make you want to roll your eyes, or perhaps even induce vomiting, all one has to do is remember a scene in The Transporter 2 where Frank hurls his car through the air, gets it to spin upside down at just the right moment so a crane can pick off the bomb. I can suspend belief for a lot of things when it comes to watching a movie, but that's just insane, and lazy writing to boot!
Fortunately, The Transporter 3 brings back the staples that made the original as awesome as it was. Frank finds himself in tight quarters while being surrounded through numerous thugs on a few occasions, and instead of the film resorting to unbelievable antics, Frank once again resorts to using any and everything around him to whoop some butt. It's a simple method for a fight sequence, but sometimes simple gets the job done, right? Right. Why go above and beyond by hooking the actors up on a cable? What credibility is a movie going to have, even a Transporter film, if it ends up looking like an action show meant for five year olds? It was the creative, yet realistic combat of the first film that made it work! New director to the franchise, Olivier Megaton, thankfully understood this!
The car chase sequences are also brought back down to a more believable level, at least for the most part. There's a sequence where Frank rides his vehicle on two wheels much longer than even the mind of an infant can tolerate, and there are some other moments that just seem way too farfetched for their own good. For the most part however, as fantastical as some of the moments in this film may seem to be, they never come anywhere near the shame that was on display in the second film.
Although the action, the absolute main reason for anyone to see this film, is unbelievably entertaining and back to a more realistic level, there is a story element in play that I just couldn't connect with, no matter how hard I tried.
Frank has always been strict on making sure he followed his rules as a transporter, but he breaks them due to the strenuous circumstances he's forced into this time around. This leads to his package, Valentina, being his love interest. That's a decent idea I suppose, but Frank and Valentina are completely different in almost every imaginable way. I just couldn't buy it.
There may be a lot of things wrong with the third installment of The Transporter franchise, but you know what? It works well enough. If you ask me, this film has completely reinforced the notion of hope, that a Transporter film can get back to the grassroots that made it so much of a blast to begin with. The action is here in all the ways we expect it to be and that's all that really matters in the end, isn't it? The Transporter 3 is meant to be popcorn flick action at some of its best, and when it comes to mindless action, this film has it down to a T.
I had a blast while I watched this movie, despite it being a dumb excuse for action, action, and more action. It might be worth noting however, that an hour after I watched the movie, there was nothing that really stuck with me. It didn't take long for me to feel indifferent to this movie after the fact.
The AVC encoded 1080p image is presented in an aspect ratio of 2.35:1. In short, it looks very impressive!
The tone of the film is conveyed by having high saturation in lighter areas, so the contrast is intentionally going to be off. The effect works very well though, as the blacks remain as deep as they were intended, keeping the lighter areas of the screen at any given time bright, without inducing any unwanted blooming.
The skin tones are very natural looking throughout the course of the film, and when allowed (during explosions, certain scenery), the color saturation leaps off the screen.
The film has a grainy look to it that's intentional, so that the film can appear to be a bit darker and grittier than the films before it. This doesn't seem to have any effect on detail throughout the film overall. Detail in faces and clothing for example, is superb. Unfortunately, the grain does tend to cause some macro-blocking in areas that are of similar color. It's not going to be something you notice just by watching the film in motion mind you, and the blocking isn't large and ugly, but if you pause the movie to look for it in the appropriate areas you would expect, you're going to see a minor case of this throughout.
All in all, it's an impressive looking transfer despite the minor macro-blocking issue. It's too bad this couldn't have been hampered though, because this could have been a great transfer otherwise.
Going from the 5.1 track that's available on DVD to this, is going to be a pleasantry for all of you out there! The Transporter 3 is presented in a 7.1 DTS-HD Master Audio track that's quite impressive.
The directional field that's used through all seven channels really surrounds you with the action. The directionality is always at play during the major fight or action sequences. There are even times when the surround channels are used for ambience, to really make you feel like you're there.
The dynamic range is quite impressive, too. There's a certain scene where Frank is at home, sitting quietly in front of a TV. He gets up to investigate a noise, and BOOM! A car crashes through his living room! It caught me completely off guard, and what was most surprising, was just how realistic it sounded. It was loud, it sounded full, and I could hear it all around me. It didn't get distorted from the sudden jump in volume, and remained clear.
This 7.1 track is a fine one, and the audio experience really drives the action packed effect of this movie home. There's a great directional field throughout the course of the film, dialogue is crisp and clear, and the louder scenes never have an issue of sounding tinny.
Audio Commentary with Director Olivier Megaton - There's a lot of information on this commentary, everything from filming, to behind the scenes, and what it was like to work with everyone. Unfortunately, Olivier has a very thick accent, speaks mostly in monotone, and is almost impossible to understand. Listening to this was like trying to listen to someone speaking a foreign language, and made this an unbearable experience for me. Perhaps some of you will have a higher tolerance for trying to decipher things through a heavy accent, but it completely ruined the experience for me.
Special Delivery: Transporters in the Real World - This doesn't really talk about transporters like the character Jason Statham plays in the movie, but this is a fairly interesting featurette none-the-less. We're given a history of what a transporter really is, is anyone that transports information or people while also having a background of special operations on a global level. The history we're told about goes all the way back to George Washington.
Making-Of Transporter 3 - This is about 16 minutes in length, but it's not really a very in-depth making-of featurette. You'll spend most of the time watching behind the scenes vs finished product comparisons, but there are some interviews with cast members as well.
Storyboard Compare - This is only about 3 minutes, and most of the time is spent looking at a series of storyboards that are pieced together as a scene for the film. There's nothing really in the 'comparing' department going on as the title of this featurette suggests though.
Visual Effects - Another short featurette at only 2 and a half minutes, there's nothing that's earth shattering being talked about here. There's not enough time for this to really delve into some of the intricacies behind putting effects in a film.
The Sets - At 2 minutes long, this is basically the Director telling us about what inspired him to make certain sets look the way they do in the film. Again though, the heavy accent that I could barely understand turned me right off.
Also included is a MOLOG feature. It utilizes BD-Live in a fairly interesting way, as you can insert animated shapes, text, audio, or other graphics right into the film as a 'blog' so other users on BD-Live can see them. I love how innovate films like Wanted and The Transporter 3 want to be with their Blu-ray releases, but when I sit down to watch a movie, I want to watch the movie. I'm not sure this sort of thing is ever really going to ever catch on.
All in all, I found most, if not all of the featurettes, to be fairly disappointing. They were short, light on information, and the commentary that could have provided the insight I was searching for, I couldn't even understand.
The Transporter 3 is a breath of fresh air after having to endure through the second installment in the series. The action is far more grounded, and things don't look like they're getting pulled around by wires. Having a new director step in to take the reins was a great move, and I'm actually looking forward to another mindless action romp in the future.
As fun as the ride itself was though, I can't omit from my review the glaring issues this film has. The idea of Frank and a girl being on the run was basically what we had in the first movie. It didn't really feel fresh, ya' know? The script wasn't smart, the acting wasn't great, and there's really nothing else you can say about the thought that actually went into the story. It just wasn't working. It was quite clear that most of the work was focused on the action/fighting sequences themselves, and although that can make for an entertaining movie, it doesn't necessarily make for a good one. Fortunately though, the action was good enough to make this worth the time.
The audio and visual presentations are pretty darn good for this release, but the extras are all kind of lame, unfortunately. If you're a fan of fun action flicks that require no thought at all, The Transporter 3 is a movie that I can rent it instead. At this point in the series, there need to be some fresh ideas in the script for me to give this a serious recommendation, and unfortunately, there wasn't a single ounce of fresh in it. Great popcorn action this may be, but a great movie, it is not.

One of the greatest WADs ever. Played the hell out of this on DWANGO. - Funny3
Legendary. Still being played today. -EarthQuake
This is by far the best concept for deathmatch Doom that has ever existed. I regard this wad as the true pre-Quake CTF levelpack. Simply outstanding. -deathz0r

DogTag3 is very similar, with its differences explained at the end of this document. - There are two teams, Blue (Green & Indigo) and Red (Brown & Red). These are std "team" colors, but you may deviate it you like. - There are two forts, a blue one and a red one. - Within each fort is a switch which opens a colored door marked "Rad Suit" in the other fort. Behind the door is a Radiation Suit. So, Deathtag requires that one player hit the switch, and the other get the suit. Once you get the Rad suit, you'll be teleported to the same fort your switch-hitting partner is in. Then, you make a run for the scoring lanes to the North side of the map. You'll have to cross the hot lava and access a lift to reach the scoring ramp. Run in your scoring lane (red or blue) and you will have automatically tallied one point, and teleported back to the main playing area. Note: You can ONLY take the suit out of your own fort. The blue team gets their suit out of the blue fort, the red team gets their suit out of the red fort. If the blue team obtains the suit out of the red fort, the game will only allow you to score a red point, so stealing the other teams suit is of no benefit and is somewhat frowned upon. Features ======== - Points. You play to 5 points. Each time you score by running into your scoring lane, your point will be tallied on the digital scoreboards found throughout the level. Once a team has 5 points, the scorer will be beamed to a raised area with a tall lift which lowers automatically. To win the game, you must cross onto this lift (Expect lots of resistance from the other team). This lift is actually a teleport, and crossing onto it beams you to the Victory Room where you will instantly get a megasphere and a BFG + lots of ammo as your reward for winning. You will see two teleports, a Blue one and a Red one. By entering your teams teleport you reveal a sign showing your team has won, and you are beamed back to the play area where you can now go wild on the losers with the BFG. As a bonus to further humiliate the losers, they will find their fort is now sealed off, and access is no longer possible. If you get killed on the platform before the lift lowers, you must get the suit again and make another scoring run, even though your score will not increase. You have not won the game until this task is completed. Meanwhile, the other team can continue to try to catch up. It is critital that your partner come to your aide, if you are to survive long enough to make it into the teleport. - Scoring Activity indicators. This new feature is visible on the back wall of each fort, to either side of the colored doors, and at the entrance to the scoring area, and they serve a dual purpose. These indicators are actually very small, but very tall sets of colored lifts, one blue, one red. These lifts drop when a team gets the rad suit, so viewing these tells you if a team is making a scoring run. If the other teams indicators are down, get your butt out there and try to stop them. These lifts are in synch with the door to each scoring lane, which is another very tall lift. Once you get the suit, your scoring lane will be open for about 30 seconds. If you don't make it, and return to get the suit again, make sure that your indicators are back up, since you can't send a lift back down until it has stopped moving. The wait may seem like an inconvienence, but it corrects some problems with earlier deathtag style pwads and eliminates cheating. - Scoring Lanes. You will notice that the doors to the scoring lanes stay open for a limited length of time (more that enough to score). They close at the same time the radiation suit wears off, so don't delay your entry. This is done with the use of some very very tall lifts, which act as doors to the scoring lanes. They drop very far below the entrance which gives you plenty of time to score before they come back up. This dealt with the problem in dethtag.wad, where the lava lake was often closed off if your opponent had just gotten a point. As mentioned earlier, these are in synch with the indicators in the forts, so DO NOT get your suit until your colored indicators are back up. If you do, your scoring lane will NOT be open. Unlike in Dethtag.Wad, you no longer have to press a switch in the scoring lane to score. Just run in and you pass a series of lines that does the same job, but is 100 percent effective, and beamout is automatic. No more botched scoring runs because the wall came up before you got to the switch! Don't bother trying to score twice with the same suit, once you enter, a second barrier closes to keep this from occuring, and it won't go back up until you get the suit again. - Weapons. Rockets, super shotguns, and chainguns only, except for the BFG you get for winning. - Megasphers. There is a megasphere it the rear of each scoring lane, but you can't get it until your 5th point. You will need it if you are to survive the rocket barrage that will be waiting for you when you beam back to the main area and try to cross the ending lift. - Ending the Level. Once a team has won, and its scorer returns to the play area with the BFG, two switches will be revealed which allow you to end the level. If you are playing Map1, these switches reset the game so you may play again, but in levels 2-4, they simply end the level and tally the frags. You will have to set it up again if you wish to play again past map1. ============================================================================== F R A G T A G I N S T R U C T I O N S ============================================================================== FragTag is a true 2 player DeathTag Style level without all the cheating or "no-suit" scores found in other 2 player tag wads. Like DogTag, you have to get a radiation suit which allows you to survive on the lava long enough to make your way to the south end of the level, where you must go up your colored lift, down and out another lift and out to the ramp leading to the scoring lanes. Whats different about FragTag is that radiation suits can only be obtained cooperatively. When you begin you find yourself in the starting room. You will see two teleports, a scoreboard, and 2 doors labeled "Handicap Lane". The "ALERT" sign is visible letting you know that the Handicap Lanes are open and accessible. More on the Handicapping later. Green scores in the blue lanes, Indy scores in the red lanes. Exit your teleport and you will find yourself on your side of the playing field. The two sides are blocked off from each other for now, but open up as soon as radiation suits are obtained. Get a gun or two and go to your "Rad Suit" door, and your opponent should do the same. Both of you must now open your doors to get the radiation suits. Since it's actually a double door, you will not be able to get a suit by yourself, the secondary door on each side is lowered by pressing the front door on the other side, making this a cooperative task. Make sure that before you press your door that the other guy's door is fully closed, or that he has just opened it. If he is standing in the doorway, keeping his door open...don't open yours, as it will let him get a suit, but not you as your secondary door will have already closed. These doors are actually lifts and are only open for a few seconds, so be careful about when you open them. After you both get your suits, you will be teleported back to the exit pad and off you go. The dividing wall will lower allowing you to cross over to each others side. Now run like hell to the south end as you must go up your colored lift, in and around the tunnel, and down and out the exit lift which will lower automatically. Doing this lowers a barrier in the scoring lane, which makes a score impossible until this task is accomplished. Next take the lift up and on to the scoring ramp and run to your door. Press it, and it will lower, but it takes a few seconds to open, so you better get ready to dodge some rockets while waiting. There is a second door in the lane that opens and closes automatically and is timed with the radiation suit. (Dogtag players will recognize this feature) It closes as the radiation suit wears off, meaning that you took too long to score and you will just die out there on the ramp, as Fragtag does not give you an unlimited time to score. If you die, you just start over. Make sure your colored bars are up which indicate that the radiation suits have respawned and it is now possible to make another scoring run. Be sure you are familiar with this feature... the blue and red bars you see between the radiation suit doors and also on each side at the entrance to the lava are actually very tall lifts that are in synch with the radiation suits. Make sure that these bars are visible before getting radiation suits. If they aren't, you will find that when you get out there to score, the secondary barrier door in the lane will be up, making a score impossible. If you do everything correctly you will be able to run into your lane and get one point. Scoring and beamout is automatic, and you will see a point registered on the scoreboard. The game is played till someone gets 5 points at which time that player will be rewarded with the BFG at the end of the lane and be teleported to a small room which is a most likely still rising. (Its actually a tall lift.) When this room stops rising, you will be facing an unlit switch which lowers the door infront of you. This lets you back out to the playing area where you can now belittle your opponent further with the BFG. Also a sign outside will have lowered showing which player has won. In that same little room is an exit switch which will end the level. The Handicap Lanes ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Dynamite had the idea to make handicapping possible. This way, a lesser player can be spotted points during the game to even things out. Hopefully this will allow everyone to enjoy Fragtag no matter who you are playing. You have only two opportunities to give away points, at the begining of the game, or after someone reaches 4 points. When you begin FragTag you will see two lanes with colored doors labeled "Handicap Lane". To give a point, you must exit to the play area while the recipient stays in the starting room. Do NOT press the unlit green switches yet or you will block off the lanes. If the Blue (green) player wants to give a point to the Red (indy) player, he must open his blue "Rad Suit" door. It will also open the Red door in the start room. The Red player just simply runs in and is teleported into the heart of the scoring lane where he can proceed to get a point. The floor is "hot" so don't delay. Now he will be beamed back to the start room where another point may be given. When you are through giving out free points, just press any of the switches to close off the Handicap Lanes. They will remain closed until someone gets to 4, at which time they reopen, making it possible to even out a lopsided score. If no further handicapping is needed just close em off again and continue playing. *IMPORTANT* Be sure to close off the Handicap Lanes when they are not in use to prevent accidental handicap scores. ============================================================================= D O G T A G 3 I N S T R U C T I O N S ============================================================================= Gameplay for DogTag 3 is very similar to DogTag 1 and 2. Dogtag3 is a new level which has the exact same scoring area as 1 and 2, but has a completely new fort. There is in fact, only one big fort in dogtag3 but in the rear, there are 2 sides, a blue wing and a red wing. You will notice that the Rad Suits are elevated, and can only be obtained by riding up a small lift that is lowered by pressing the switch in the other wing. Other than that, you play exactly as you would play dogtag1 or 2. What makes this level fun and interesting to play are the numerous ways to manuver and outsmart your opponents while moving in and around the forts. Comments ======== I would like to hear from people who enjoy dogtag. I spent a great deal of time developing these levels, and It would be nice to know that they are getting played. Feel free to e-mail me with comments or bugs. Thanks, MrBlonde

Paul: Christie 'Flippant' About Fourth Amendment and Bill of Rights
Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) countered New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie's branding of NSA criticism "dangerous" by saying it's "not very smart" for the governor to call out libertarians like that.
"This strain of libertarianism that's going through parties right now and making big headlines I think is a very dangerous thought," Christie said last week, noting that Paul is "one of" the people to whom he was referring.
"He may have heard that, you know, the Republican Party is on life support in the northeast. Republicans are in danger of becoming an endangered species. So, it's not real smart for Republicans to be attacking Republicans. But I would remind him that I think what is dangerous in our country is to forget that we have a bill of rights, to forget about privacy, to give up on all of our liberty to say, we're going to catch terrorism but you have to live in a police state," Paul said on Fox last night.
"And it's really, I think, kind of sad and cheap that he would use the cloak of 9/11 victims and say, oh, I'm the only one who cares about these victims," he continued. "Hogwash. If he cared about protecting this country, maybe he wouldn't be in this give me, give me, give me all of the money you have in Washington or don't have and he would be a little more fiscally responsive and know that the way we defend our country, the way we have enough money for national defense is by being frugal and not by saying give me, give me, give me all the time."
Referring to criticism over the Patriot Act, the senator said "we fought the American Revolution over the fact that we didn't want a warrant to apply to millions of people."
"The Fourth Amendment says it has to be a specific person, a place, and you have to name the items and you have to go to a judge and you'd have to say there's probable cause. And here's the thing, I'm all for getting terrorists. I'm all for -- if I were the judge, absolutely, say yes. Get the records. But I'm for spying on terrorists. I'm not for spying on every American," said Paul.
"And so people like the governor who are, I guess, flippant about privacy, flippant about the Fourth Amendment and flippant about the Bill of Rights, they do an injustice to our soldiers. Our soldiers are laying their lives on the line for the Bill of Rights. So, if we're not going to stand up for the Bill of Rights, we're going to say at all costs, we don't care about liberty, then I think it's really a mistake and we've gone too far."

Staggering through terminals and hotel lobbies with overstuffed suitcases, trunks, duffels and backpacks. Backs ache. Feet burn. Eyelids droop. We've all seen people like that. At times, we are people like that-if not with our physical luggage, then at least with our spiritual load. We all lug loads we were never intended to carry. Fear. Worry. Discontent. No wonder we get so weary. We're worn out from carrying that excess baggage. Wouldn't it be nice to lose some of those bags? That's the invitation of Max Lucado. With the twenty-third Psalm as our guide, let's release some of the burdens we were never intended to bear. I believe this to be an easy validation. I edited as I read; all pages are accounted for.
