Buddy Tate: Texas Tenor on the North Shore
One of the great things about having had access to Boston nightclubs when I was young was the opportunity they afforded me to see musicians playing on successive nights during their week-long engagements. Nowadays, most venues book artists for just a night or two, and Boston jazz rooms like Scullers and the Regattabar have followed suit. Valley jazz fans still buzz about the five-night stand Wynton Marsalis played at the Iron Horse in 1999, but while New York institutions like the Village Vanguard and Blue Note still book players for a five or six-night week, for the most part, that's a thing of the past.
Among the great names I've heard two or more times in the same week were Cannonball Adderley, Charles Mingus, Muddy Waters, Barry Harris, Ruby Braff, Max Roach, Archie Shepp and Dexter Gordon at venues like the Jazz Workshop, Paul's Mall, Lulu White's, Lennie's-on-the-Turnpike and Sandy's Jazz Revival. (Come to think of it, Sunday matinee and evening sets were offered at the Workshop and Lennie's; twice-in-the-same-day encounters included Gary Burton, Mingus, and Charlie Musselwhite.) But there was one opportunity of this kind, a week-long engagement by Arnett Cobb, Buddy Tate, and Eddie "Cleanhead" Vinson at Sandy's in Beverly, where I settled for a one-night stand. Ray Bryant played piano with the group, George Duvivier was on bass, and Alan Dawson, Boston's first-call drummer, made it a sextet.
Bryant's death last year brought back memories of seeing the soulful keyboard great on numerous occasions at Bradley's in New York but it was coupled with a twinge of regret that I hadn't been at Sandy's for more than one night when those legendary Texans swung the North Shore like nobody's business. As it happened, that was the only time I saw Cobb, but I caught up with Vinson a few years later when he played one-nighters in Cambridge and Providence with Roomful of Blues; as anticipated, it was basically the same show back to back, but in Mr. Cleanhead's hands, even patented licks sounded newly minted. My only other encounter withTate was a night in which he got limited playing time on a Kansas City Swing tribute at Carnegie Hall.
Today is Buddy Tate's 99th birthday. The Sherman, Texas native succeeded Herschel Evans in the Count Basie Orchestra in 1939; Evans was essentially the first of the Texas Tenors, while Tate, Cobb, Illinois Jacquet and other Lone Star saxophonists extended the lineage till kingdom come. Like most of the Swing Era tenors who emerged after the mid-'30's, Tate's style represented an ideal synthesis of what had seemed like contradictory approaches only a few years earlier: the big tone and aggressive, arpeggio-laden harmonics of Coleman Hawkins versus the fluid drive melodic flights of Lester Young. Like Prez, Tate and his ilk were grounded in the blues, but they liked Hawk's sound and combined it with Lester's relaxed phrasing. Buddy spent a decade with Basie, followed by stints with Lucky Millinder and Lips Page. In the early '50's, he began leading his own band at the Celebrity Club in Harlem; speaking of extended engagements, this one lasted over 20 years. Despite this longevity, Tate told Stanley Dance, "I never [saw] any of the well-known New York critics there."
I found Tate's quote in Stanley Dance's invaluable chronicle, The World of Count Basie, which contains a 17-page narrative by Buddy that reads like a condensed history of territory bands in the Southwest. He seemed to play with them all, an opportunity afforded by his having got started when he was in his early teens. Tate learned to sight read from a local musician named Frank O'Banner who admired Buddy's ability to improvise and encouraged his young charge to show up even when he was short on funds. "Money isn't why I have you here…Someday you may remember what I've done."
Among the numerous bands Tate gigged with was the St. Louis Merrymakers at a time when Herschel Evans was also with the group. He'd met Evans a few years earlier when he was playing with a band known as TNT, or Trent Number Two. Alphonse Trent was so popular in the region that he lent his name to more than one outfit. Tate remembered that Evans "was playing alto then and had about a thousand rubber bands around his instrument but…he was immaculate, sharp as a tack." He said that when Basie sent for him, he "didn't know that Herschel had died…but I had dreamed he had died and that Basie was going to call me. That's the truth, so help me God." On his second night with the band, a dance at Kansas City University, Basie asked him to fill the many requests he was getting for Evans' ballad showcase, "Blue and Sentimental."
"I walked out to the mike and it seemed like a mile," he told Dance. "I knew 'Blue and Sentimental,' but I'd never played it. Everybody danced as I played it and it broke the house up. All the guys in the band stood up and shook my hand when I finished. 'You're in,' they said. Everybody, that is, but Prez. He just looked up and winked."
As you'll see in this documentary segment from "Born to Swing," Tate's name eventually made the marquees of the Savoy and Apollo Theaters, and he enjoyed a long and fruitful career. Indeed, as the narrator observes, Tate suffered less of the proverbial show biz blues than most of his colleagues, and his happy marriage, which began in a "love at first sight" encounter in 1936, didn't hurt either. But when the chips were down, he found solace in his instrument. "I can be blue and just pick up my saxophone and go play by myself and everything goes away. Just gives you a completely relaxed mind—I think it's a part of me."
We'll relax with George Holmes Tate in tonight's Jazz a la Mode. Tune in for his work with Basie, as well as Mary Lou Williams, Roy Eldridge, and Buck Clayton. And much as I regret not being at Sandy's for that entire week in August 1978, Muse Records helps me relive the experience with recordings it issued under Arnett Cobb's name as "Live at Sandy's." We'll hear a "Blues for Lester" from that tonight too. Meanwhile, check out Buddy soloing on "Jumpin' at the Woodside" with the riffing tenors of Cobb and Jacquet on this 1982 concert in Berlin. As Basie knew best, Texas Tenors always sound good together.
Buddy Tate
Managed to see Buddy Tate a number of times - duets with Jay McShann (Crazylegs and Friday Strut!), with Cleanhead, even with the great Buck Clayton (Buck n' Buddy) once, sadly never with Arnett Cobb though - and he never failed to be less than perfect. Thanks for the link to the documentary, don't know that one but I'll have to check out the other parts as well ... Nou Dadoun

Water is crucial for life. Or so we are told.
Some organisms, it turns out, have a remarkable ability to survive near complete dehydration - a feat known as anhydrobiosis or "life without water." There is the resurrection plant, brine shrimps, nematode worms and baker's yeast.
Or take a class of microscopic animals known as tardigrades - commonly known as water bears - which live in thin films of water present in soil, mosses, leaves, and more. "They live in water and when where they live dries up, they dry up," says John Crowe, a biologist at the University of California, Davis, who has been studying anhydrobiosis for four decades. But they don't die - instead, they can remain in a state of suspended animation for decades, and when they're rehydrated, they spring right back to life.
While these remarkable resurrections are interesting curiosities in their own right, they have also inspired a wave of potentially life-saving applications. Now, scientists and start-ups are beginning to copy these creatures' tricks to preserve critical lifesaving compounds, such as vaccines, DNA and stem cells. They hope to extend the shelf life of these substances from mere days to months or even years, transforming medicine everywhere from rural Africa to the battlefield.
Early in his career, Crowe was inspired by water bears—and their remarkable capacity for dehydration. "I started this whole business with a curiosity - how do they do this?" Crowe says. "Humans can't do this." Indeed, when our cells dry out, they shrink and shrivel. The proteins inside them clump together and the membranes fuse, causing irreversible damage. Upon rehydration, the cells often completely disintegrate.
Sweet solution
In the 1970s, Crowe discovered that the secret to the survival of many anhydrobiotic organisms is a simple sugar known as trehalose. As these critters dry out, they manufacture this sugar. The sugar, in turn, essentially behaves just like water inside the cell. As the water molecules disappear, molecules of trehalose slip into the spaces that the water once occupied; the proteins in the cellular membrane that were once bonded to water bond to the sugar instead. In this way, the sugar stabilizes the cell, holding its membrane in place and preventing the cell from shriveling and its contents from moving around or fusing together. With trehalose inside the cell, Crowe says, "the proteins remain right where they were in the membrane, as if it were fully hydrated."
As Crowe developed this "water replacement theory" of trehalose, he began to wonder: If trehalose could stabilize the cells of anhydrobiotic organisms, could it also be used to protect human cells from damage when they were dried? He began to realize that the biomedical implications could be huge. For instance, freeze drying - the process used to dehydrate and preserve all sorts of perishable items, especially food - could extend the shelf life of platelets, cellular fragments that circulate in the blood stream, clumping together to form clots that stop bleeding and secreting substances that promote wound healing. Transfusions of platelets can be life saving for patients suffering from massive blood loss, as well as those undergoing chemotherapy or certain surgical procedures.
But platelets are tricky to use therapeutically. Refrigeration renders them useless, so they must be stored at room temperature. That drastically limits their shelf life; blood banks discard human platelets after just three to five days, and even then, the cell fragments occasionally get contaminated with fungi, bacteria, or viruses, causing potentially fatal complications in patients who receive transfusions. It also means there's a chronic shortage of platelets.
If scientists could figure out how to dehydrate the platelets without destroying them, it would be a game changer.

Oregon Manifest 2009
"Oregon. We love dreamers."
It's a catchy slogan from Travel Oregon, the organization that is responsible for marketing the state as a tourist and vacation destination. Long before tourism boards or marketing budgets, Oregon represented discovery and opportunity. Lewis & Clark, The Oregon Trail, the road out west was carved out by those seeking to make a new, better way.
The 2009 Oregon Manifest Constructor's Design Challenge and Constructor's Race was born out of that same pioneering spirit. Similar to the original French constructor challenges, the creators of this year's Oregon Manifest invited builders to bring inspired solutions to everyday problems. How might you build a bike capable of covering varying terrain over a long distance that can carry food, drink, a change of clothes, that has an on-bike security solution, and protection from darkness and the elements?
Thirty-two of the top handmade bicycle builders from around the U.S. met the challenge, bringing their own craft and interpretation to the judges of the Design Challenge. The builders, or proxy, boarded a charter bus with their bikes to finish the trial with a 77-mile race, putting design theory into riding reality. A myriad of fitness and cycling palmares made for an interesting day on the country and gravel roads from Vernonia, OR, back into Portland. Making it more interesting was the beer stop at mile 38, where the riders picked up a 6-pack of Hopworks beer before a seven-mile gravel descent. Then, at mile 62, a food stop at Chris King's barn that turned into an unexpected full gourmet experience. The riders knew they had to pick up a box of food to bring to the finish, they didn't know that King had brought a chef with a full spread of food and wine – all that was missing was the white tablecloths. It is a shame that a 2 mile climb with a few double-digit sections was a mile down the road.
At the end of the evening the time came for riders to don attire fit for a celebration and most people still had six full beers, big - albeit exhausted - smiles, and bicycles that while still new and beautiful were all the better for the race's test.
Congratulations to Rapha Continental rider and builder, Tony Pereira, for winning the Oregon Manifest Design Challenge.

Great product! Easy to use right out of the box! This is a great distance measuring watch for running on trails. I have run into issues with gps-based watches losing satellite in the foliage, or inaccurately measuring distance due to numerous switchbacks...not with this though! It is calibrated to your stride, and self-adjusts depending on cadence and speed, making for the most accurate way to measure in the woods! Combine this with the added features of HR training and rest/recovery recommendations, this watch becomes the ultimate training tool! Automatically downloads your workouts to Movescount and then more fun begins, with data reflection on your workout, and a calendar to keep track of your distances and time...bottom line: This is THE watch you need!

Leaves some streaky lacing and alcohol legs. S: Lots of dark fruits, cherry and currants, some vinous notes, candied sugar, significant sweetness, estery banana, peppery spice and a hint of booze round it out. Complex, strong aroma, and very nice. T: Different than the nose, not as rich or complex. Some bitterness, and a prominent booze are the first things I get. Once I get past those two components I then pick up subtle cocoa, banana, and dark fruits that are significantly less prominent than the nose implied. I also get a burnt plastic like component. M/D: Full bodied, moderate carbonation, gives a nice whole body warming sensation. Quite boozy though, definitely lots of booze in the flavor, and a bit hot. O: Overall, not bad but somewhat disappointing. The aromas was very nice, but the palate profile feel short. Worth a try but there are so many great Quads readily available that I dont think Ill be purchasing this one again anytime soon.

A - Pours a hazy ripe plum color (reddish/amber with a hint of purple), with two-finger, off-white head. Spots of lacing. Head did dissipate after a while. S - Strong aroma of Belgian yeasts, caramel, sweet breads, dark fruits and a hint of banana/clove. T - Nicely blended flavors of black cherries, holiday fruit cake, and caramel-soaked bread. Clove and pepper spice present in the mid-palate. A touch of grapefruit from the hops present in the finish works wonders to prevent cloying. Complex. ABV barely detectable. Fruitier and not quite as decadent as some Quads I have sampled, but I found the difference to be rather refreshing. M - Thinner side of medium bodied, with spritzy carbonation. Finishes quite clean. IMO, this could have used a little more body; but a minor flaw. O - As a different take on the classic Belgian Quad, I enjoyed this quite a bit and would recommend it for those looking for something original, as this is not the toffee/date/prune bomb one might expect. All around pretty darn good though. Serving type: bottle 12-04-2013 05:03:14 | More by TempeBeerMan |

Order Standard by 2 p.m. ET 12/19 for 12/24 delivery. Standard $25+ orders ship free
I've heard so much about these polish remover pads. I'm not sure if mine were old or what was the deal. They didn't touch the glitter polish I had on. Two removers only took the polish off a few fingers. For the price I'll stick to my bottle of remover and cotton.
This stuff is awesome. Rub it once and your polish is gone! Perfect for a quick fix, change of color or a necessary pop to an outfit with a repaint. I was hesitant at first because of the price but well worth it! Carry one in my purse for emergencies:)
These things work so well! Took all ten fingers worth of nail polish off in moments. The only thing I didn't like about them is the size. I had so much remover left over it felt wasteful to throw it away but there was no way to save it.
I really liked this, it smells great and it removed nailpolish, even the darkest ones, very well. The shape is so convenients. I would happily repurhcase.
They removed all my polish and even those sticky nail polish strips by sally hanson. Love this brand and all her products.
Smells so very delicious! It's also not obvious at all and doesn't fill the room with fumes. I definitely recommend!
I was curious what a 'finger mitt' would actually look like and suppose it makes sense, though it is smaller than I thought. The little mitt literally only covers your fingertip, but does have good absorption and enough polish remover on it for about one hand. It's a great option for keeping at work, for when you really just need to get that nail polish off quickly.
I am not able to get dark polish off all 10 nails with just one, but it probably would be sufficient for something not that dark.
This seriously smells amazing. It's the only way to remove terrible polish at your desk before a big meeting when you've been putting off a polish change.
No one will suspect a thing. I'll get these again, for sure.
These work so well and are so convenient. They make taking off nail polish a whole lot easier than using cotton balls. I am even thinking of getting them for gifts!
This is such a smart and convenient product! The lavender scent is divine. Such a fast, easy, and effective way to quickly remove the polish - even when you're on the go!

San Francisco, CA
Some Curves/Average Height
These jeans are a nice cheerful color, and the material is quite soft and very comfortable. I usually wear a size 2 and 26 in jeans, and these fit perfectly in size 26. So I would say they run very true to size. I like the inseam length as I am 5'4" and don't need to get them hemmed!
Amazing!! These are so incredibly comfy. I can't wear really skinny jeans, because I have muscular legs and calves, and smaller waist hips. These are really perfect, not constricting at all and perfect in the waist/hips (a little bit higher rise). The back pockets on these are smaller and a bit higher up than other J Brand (I have Lovestory, Mae 17", 12" and 14"). Very soft, and very bright red. I was hesitant about the color but figured I needed a bit of "color punch" in my otherwise very blue and black wardrobe. Can't wait to get some more. I am between sizes (25-26) and went for my larger size (26) in these. Good choise, for me, the 25 would have been to tight for this style. Thank you Revolve for fast shipping!

FDAImports.com recently achieved another Import Alert success for one of its clients, this time for FDA Import Alert #36-04, "Detention Without Physical Examination of Honey and Blended Syrup Due to Presence of Fluoroquinolones." FDA implemented this Import Alert many years ago upon discovery of certain antibiotics, specifically, ciprofloxacin and enrofloxacin in honey products and blended syrups. The antibiotics, while permitted for use in cattle, are not permitted for honeybees as the residues can transfer into the honey and its products.
In this case, the U.S. importer contacted … READ MORE

- Great Review by W.Andrako
Overall Our house faces north and the sun seldom hits the stairs in the winter. When it snows or sleets or anyone walks on snow before I have been able to get it cleaned off we had a pack of ice that seemed to last forever. It was very unsafe for anyone trying to use the stairs. A couple of years ago I bought two packs of the three treads and hooked them together and the stairs have been clear of ice and snow ever since. We were afraid that someone would get badly hurt on them. We have had many compliments from visitors and delivery men since then. It doesn't stay on all the time but comes on when the temp drops to freezing.

KEDR is a framework to facilitate dynamic analysis of kernel modules in Linux ("KEDR" is an acronym for "KErnel-mode Drivers in Runtime"). KEDR allows you to intercept the calls that a kernel module makes to the functions exported by other modules and by the kernel proper. The tools provided by the framework can record the arguments and return values of these functions to a trace, perform fault simulation according to user-defined scenarios, and check the kernel modules for memory leaks and some other kinds of problems. Custom data collection and analysis tools for the Linux kernel can also be built on top of KEDR framework.
ftracer is a simple user space implementation of a Linux kernel style function tracer. It allows you to trace every call in instrumented user applications. It is useful for debugging and performance analysis due to its fine grained time stamp. This allows you to do control flow oriented debugging without any special instrumentation. So if the program does something unexpected, it's easily possible to look at the function calls before that, and use that to deduce the cause of the problem. ftracer relies on gcc generating a call on top of every function call. The tracing slows every function call down (about 3x). The tracing is per thread and does not create a global bottleneck. It supports a dump function in C, directly callable by the program or on exit, and a gdb function to dump from gdb.
Termdebug is a set of utilities for recording and replaying the input and output of terminal programs. Its main goal is to aid in developing and debugging terminal programs. Other programs such as termrec/termplay, nethack-recorder/player, and script/scriptreplay only record the output. However, when debugging an interactive terminal program, the input is often as important as the output.
pymiproxy is a small, lightweight, man-in-the-middle embeddable proxy capable of performing HTTP and HTTPS (or SSL) inspection. The proxy provides a built-in certificate authority that is capable of generating certificates for SSL-based destinations. Pymiproxy is also extensible, and provides two methods for extending the proxy: method overloading and a pluggable interface. It is ideal for situations where you're in dire need of a proxy to tamper with out- and/or in-bound HTTP data.

Poll: Popular background checks also cause worry
Some fear gov't could take away legally owned weapons
One day before the full Senate begins debate over a gun control bill that includes increased background checks, a new national survey indicates that nearly nine in 10 Americans support tougher background checks.
But according to a CNN/ORC International poll released Wednesday, a majority also fear that increased background checks would lead to a federal registry of gun owners that could allow the government to take away legally owned weapons. Eighty-six percent of those questioned in the survey say they support some form of background checks that are not currently required by law for gun sales.
"Some of the proposed additions to the current gun laws are more popular than others," says CNN polling director Keating Holland, "although every new background check tested in the poll wins support from a majority of the American public."
The 86 percent figure from the CNN/ORC poll is in line with just about every other national survey released over the past couple of months, which found support for increased background checks hovering around the 90 percent level. And the CNN survey, along with the previous polls, found no real partisan divide, with very strong support for the checks from Democrats, Republicans and independents.
The CNN survey's release comes as the Senate plans to vote on Thursday on whether to open debate on gun control legislation that some Republicans have pledged to filibuster.
President Barack Obama on Monday angrily chided lawmakers reluctant to back gun control legislation, saying the overwhelming support for measures like universal background checks among the American people should force action in Congress.
"If our democracy's working the way it's supposed to, and 90 percent agree on something, in the wake of a tragedy, you would think this would not be a heavy lift," Obama said, saying the Republicans who were vowing to filibuster the bill were, in essence, telling Americans that their "opinion doesn't matter."
The president made his comments at an event in Connecticut, the state that was the scene last December of a horrific elementary school shooting that left 20 young students and six adults dead. The incident spurred the current push for legislation to deal with gun violence.
According to the poll, 89 percent of Americans support the background checks already on the books -- those required for purchases at gun stores and other businesses that sell guns. Three proposals, covering gun shows, person-to-person sales, and transfers between family members, would add to the existing laws, and 86 percent of Americans support at least one of those three additional checks.
The most popular is the gun show proposal, which 83 percent of all Americans support. Seven in 10 favor background checks on prospective buyers trying to purchase a gun from another person who is not a gun dealer but owns a gun and wants to sell it. Least popular is a proposal to require background checks for buyers who are purchasing a gun from a family member or receiving it as a gift. Support for that proposal drops to 54 percent -- still a majority, but not as popular as gun show requirements.
"Support for background checks has fallen slightly since January, possibly as memories of the Newtown, Conn., shootings have started to fade," adds Holland.
A major concern raised by gun owners is the prospect that background checks will lead to a federal registry of gun owners and their firearms, and that is something that 55 percent of Americans would oppose, according to the poll. And two-thirds believe that if the government did keep a list of gun owners, it would eventually use that list to take guns away from people who own them.
But other concerns about background checks are not shared by most Americans. Eight in ten see no problem with requiring anyone who sells a gun to keep a record of that transaction. And gun owners who have gone through background checks themselves say the experience was not a problem.
Roughly half of all gun owners in this country have been through a background check; only 8 percent of them say that the check was a negative experience, with about a third saying that it was a positive experience and most saying that they had no feelings one way or the other about the checks that they went through.
The CNN poll was conducted by ORC International, from April 5-7, with 1,012 adults nationwide questioned by telephone. The survey's overall sampling error is plus or minus 3 percentage points.

a spoofer is not needed cause 4.31 could be jailbroken just as easily as 4.21, 4.25 and 4.30. but 4.31 is not a mandatory update anyway and sony didint bother to change the psn passphrase anyway.
will this work on 3.41 ?

Generating static pages and blogs with Jekyll
Text Monster
Most people starting a blog will almost automatically turn to WordPress, which calls for PHP, a database, and regular security updates … and thus a lot of attention. With the small Jekyll template engine, you can avoid all that.
Even with a powerful server, it makes sense to compile an Internet site from static pages, whether to reduce load on the server for high-traffic pages or to minimize the risk of attacks.
Maintaining all the subpages by hand, however, can become a Sisyphean task. At this point, template engines can help. They generate a complete Internet site consisting of only static pages from the text content and a layout template. To change the layout of the entire site, you only need to replace the HTML template – without touching each page individually.

One Storage and Two Quadcore Blades from Sun
Sun Microsystems has dropped three new Linux servers on the market: a storage module with 1.2 TBytes, a blade module with two AMD Opteron Quadcores and a blade server with two Intel Xeon Quadcores. A photo gallery shows them in detail.
The new Disk Module is touted by Sun as the first open storage blade machine. The provider markets this series as individually configurable storage devices with open source, adaptable software. The Blade 6000 holds eight serial attached SCSI (SAS) disk drives ranging from 73 to 146 Gbytes capacity that store about 1.2 TBytes of data. The SAS controller protects RAID 0, 1 and 2 levels. The storage server runs on Solaris 10 and Windows 2003/2008, but also on 64-bit RHEL 4.6 and 5.1 and SUSE Linux Enterprise Server (SLES) 10 as well as VMware 3.0.2 and 3.5.
The Blade X6240 Server supports up to 16 DIMM slots at 667 MHz with two- or four-Gbyte capacity. Up to two AMD Opteron Quadcore processors provide 512 Kbytes of L2 cache per CPU and yet another 2 MBytes of shared L3 cache. CPU energy consumption is a choice of 55W, 75W or 105W apiece. Two Base-T Ethernet ports bind to the external network and a 10/100 Base-T port to the management network. This Sun server offers a 32-bit RHEL 4.6 only. Like the Disk Module it also runs on 64-bit Solaris 10, Windows 2003/2008, 64-bit RHEL 5.1 and 64-bit SLES 9 and 10, along with the VMware ESX Server 3.5 alternative.
The Sun CP3250 Blade Server with Intel on board contains up to eight CPU cores with the Xeon LGA771 ATCA. A 12-Mbyte cache, an up to 24-Gbyte main memory consisting of six DIMM sockets, and a slot for type CF-2 Flash work together as memory.
The U.S. price list has the Blade 6000 module at around $1,600, the AMD Blade X6240 module at round $2,600 and the Intel CP3250 module at about $7,000. The webpages give contact information.

In the grimdark future of the 41st Millenium, there is only war. In this galaxy wide, constant war, there are multiple smaller conflicts. One of these is the brewing conflict for the Roellian Sub-sector, two planets previously thought insignificant, now given deadly new importance. The forces of Chaos are encroaching on this sub-sector, drawn by a beacon even they do not understand, and the Imperium has no idea why the Archenemy is suddenly arriving. The stalwart Imperium and the un-predictable powers of Chaos, however, are not the only forces drawn here by this beacon. Lead your army on to victory in this sub-sector, and discover the secrets of the Roellian sub-sector. Claim them for your race, your gods, your nation....or perhaps, for your own interests?
Basically, players will be permitted to pick a faction from the universe of Warhammer 40k, and lead this army into battle. Now, this does not mean you can pick the Ultramarines and you get EXACTLY what they have, nor will you be able to play a canonically existing character. However, you can pick a canonical chapter/regiment to play, though I HEAVILY endorse creating your own chapter/regiment/warband etc etc. HOWEVER, stay within the realms of logic, this is a serious roleplay and any factions that do not meet MY standards WILL be DENIED. No matter what faction you pick or make, however, your numbers will be rolled for just like all other factions. Now, the factions you can play as are limited, obviously, as some factions likely won't be there, such as the Ever-hungering Tyranids, those factions that are allowed are as follows
- Imperial Guard
- Inquisition (Maellus or Heraticus with each having access to their respective chamber militant [Grey Knights and Sisters of Battle respectively])
- Space Marines
- Orks
- Tau
- Necrons
- Chaos (You may choose to be aligned to any of the 4 Major Gods, or Undivided. Furthermore this faction encompasses both Chaos Space Marines, Daemons, and mortal followers)
- Eldar
- Dark Eldar
What will be done?
Like any other Nation RPs, you will do various things from managing an army list, appointing commanders and creating fluff or background for your faction's presence in the sub-sector, whether they were assigned there, came for their own reasons, or even arrived by accident (The Warp works in mysterious ways). Every post, excluding IC Planning sessions and the like, will represent a turn/the passing of time. Your faction can choose to work towards researching new technologies or acquiring more support, all while fighting for control of certain strategic positions on the Strategic Map, which will represent each factions' sphere of influence in the game. The goal of the roleplay is to wipe out all opposing factions until yours, or that of your alliance, is dominant. Rules will be heavily enforced and numbers will be kept to my own standards to prevent cheating or outright "godmodding". Although players that would be canonically allied will be so in the beginning, I won't restrain your ambitions. You can make any diplomatic deal you want, Ceasefires, Alliances, even Trade of technology (Although this one will be particularly hard on your GM).
Erm, 3 of these factions are Imperial, won't they just steam-roll the rest of us?
The answer to this, dear player, is no! For several reasons, the Imperium will be balanced so that all other factions aren't simply brushed aside. However, I won't be so heavily weighing them down that they, as a whole, are only as threatening as a single threat. Let me make this clear, the Imperium WILL be a large threat, as they are multiple allied factions, but they will not be an unstoppable wave of destruction.
1. The Imperium's large number of players will mean that they have a larger empire to manage. This means that they will be more susceptible to logistics issues, and have to fight on more fronts.
2. These factions, so long as they are allied, will be working together. This means that one incompetent or selfish player can open a huge hole in the defenses. Ex. Losing a position they were supposed to defend, going rogue
3. They will no doubt be a high-priority target for the other factions, meaning they will most assuredly NOT simply be able to say "ALL FORCES, CONVERGE ON POINT CHAOS AND END THEIR HERESY!" Or at least, not if they want to continue existing
4. If too many player go Imperial, I will give the other players more numbers to compensate.
This is a great idea! How many Players are you accepting?
Why thank you, dear sir/madam! I will be accepting up to 8 Players, but I won't start until we have at least 4. There will also be room for players to enter and leave at will ex. A regiment/chapter is called away to a more important front, a new regiment arrives to aid, a warband retreats to the warp, a new WAAAGGHHH is started, etc etc.
Mechanics: While the minutae will be left for my eyes, there will be actual mechanics to this game in the form of dice rolls. Everything from how many reinforcements you get to how well your troops perform will ultimately be influenced by dice which I will roll. This will be modified based on traits and tactics but there will always be a degree of randomness to it. On that note, that also means you WILL lose battles unless youve bribed Tzeentch to rig my dice and your tactics are like that of Creed himself. Its part of the game and dont get snippy if something insane happened like a bunch of grots beat your assault terminators. Ill get more in depth on this stuff later, mostly once there's enough players and the OOC is up.
As a general note, this thread is just for the expressing of interest. Unless you want to be a really eager beaver, you don't need to make your lists just yet.
Furthermore, if you want to root around for weapons/units links here and here are quite handy if you don't want to ask around.

ok, VS is the only store I could even think to take to get her measured in in the first place, and she'll be home w/in the hour for us to go, so Quck- where else?!?!
she's very much the plain cotton no-frills un-girly-girl type, something I'm not even sure VS even offers as I don't personally ever shop there. and lemme tell you.. her boobs are pretty damn endowed already, nothing ' little girl' ish about it, my poor love bug. its ZOOM past the training and jumping into the grown ladies w/ a Splash I'm afraid quick quick quick- penny's? sears? I live in such a wasteland I can't think what else is close.. belks? hects maybe? welcome mornington!! = standing by for advice before we go today (bc she knows she's going & is not putting up a fight so I must strike while the iron is hot!) -------------------- I am a *spark* in this world; get lit.

woo! danny! and woo for mando too! Freckle, I was an early bloomer too... I second the getting measured thing and going for simple at least to start. Give her lots of choice and make it fun - I've seen some really pretty (as in "I wish they made those when I was ten") training bras around but you have to hunt. I'd steer clear of VS until she's a little older (unless she wants to go there). And I don't think you went too far at all with PE. There is indeed a special circle of hell for those teachers. I'm sort-of dating a man with an eight-year-old son. I'm lurking in preparation should this relationship become in any way serious. |

warm welcome to smapde & luludoll.
i think that note rings just the right amount of bells, freckle. and kudos to frecklette for even wanting to try PE. i was the most unathletic kid ever, always got picked last, always laughed at, etc. i HATED gym and got sneered at by every single gym teacher, none even tried to make me try. one even laughed at me when i feel off the balance beam (onto my back mind you). i finally gave up altogether and got a doctor's note out of gym, because i doubled up my junior/senior year of HS, and there was no way in hell i was gonna take two gym classes. with apologies to anyone who knows, loves - or IS - a PE teacher, but there's a special circle in hell for all my old PE teachers. may they be roasting there already. cruel bastids. it breaks my heart to think of frecklette sitting on the bench, feeling badly. fuckers. don't they know she's got the will and the heart of a little lioness? i developed at age 11, so i feel frecklette's pain. but there weren't many choices back in 1971. plain old white cotton ugly bras. so, i have no advice, other than to maybe consider going to a department store - or even an old lady bra store - with a good bra-fitter person. then again, i have issues with VS, their salespeople and their bras, so don't mind me. danny survived his first day of high school. so did i. *le sigh* it's not as scary as the first day of middle school was. that whole changing-classes thing freaked me the fuck out. he already loves it, i can tell. he walks with his best bud (it's right up the street). he's his own man now. *le sigh again* 9/11 was 5 years ago, it happened 30 miles away, our local paper is still publishing obits from pieces of victims they're still finding ... i'm still fairly traumatized but don't feel right admitting that, because i wasn't there and didn't lose anyone i loved personally and live in fear every day that some fucking lunatic is going to fly a plane into the nuclear reactors 20 miles upriver and do the job right this time .... and since i have nothing rational to add, it's probably best i bow out of that part of conversation. -------------------- "... what i want is what i've not got and what i need is all around me." |

frek- can i put a piece of advice in the pot? I was an early bloomer, too...younger than freklette, i think. Anyway, the sports bra theory is good in theory, but in practice kind of made me think i had to hide my body. I'm not saying get her the "great bobbie packaging magic bra" or anything like that, but a good, regular old supportive set of white/nude bras from a dept. store always suited me really well.
I don't even want to leave the house on the 11th...if you're paranoid, let me jump on board with you?!? |

-- do I know how to KILL a thread or What?!
I'm down off my ledge as far as frecklette and pe class. I'm sorry, and not feeling a little silly, for going so far off the deep end here, I swear I'll behave? so far she's doing ok in it this year, and has a few girlfriend's in it that sort of ' have her back' so to speak and so haven't even yet called her Ped to get anything in writing. am just going to let it go til/if she tells me otherwise. her confidence seems to be pretty high - and that's wonderful! AND her favorite class this year is MATH! yes MATH ! the teacher is young and female and admitted at open house that she was the one who never understood ANYTHING & was always so lost in class that she couldn't ask questions bc she didn't know where to start & so has a covered box for questions in the back that kids can just casually drop in on their way to sharpen pencils right next to it. no embarrassment. no being singled out. I Love this woman! am taking her to victoria's secret this afternoon to get more and better b r a 's, bc bless her heart but she is really looking "older" and is attracting unwanted attention more & more. hopefully they can size her right and will have some minimizer's ? or at the least some high speed sports b r a's (that's how we say it, we spell it out, no I don't know why) that she can wear daily instead. 1/2 her friends don't even hardly have boobs yet, and she looks like a well built 16 year old. sometimes, life is really Not fair. and now on a more serious note.. is any one else even a tiny bit nervouse about sending your offspring to school on the 11th, or is it just my extreme paranoia striking again? -------------------- I am a *spark* in this world; get lit.

Welcome smapde !! so gald you came to be with us here
my take on gate-keeping is that for the hands-on primary care-giver, it's almost automaticly done. again, the older frecklette gets, the more relaxed I tend to be about her spending time w/ people other than myself, bc she's old enough to know our values and concerns, and old enough to speak up for herself as well. that said, today when she left the house to walk down the block & around the corner to the bus, I nearly had seperation anxiety bc that's my baby !! baby steps ok, frecklette & PE class......... at the open house yesterday I did Not speak to the teacher yet. had decided it'd be better to just wait and let freck's Dr speak For Her this time, as before it had been nothing but lip service, wnd freck was miserable due to it. got the Health Form this afternoon, to list any health concerns, issues etc. this is what I wrote: "frecklette has Congential Radio Ulna (spelled it more phonetically for them) Synostosis. this is a Fusion on the bones in her left forearm. This SEVERLY LIMITS HER ABILITY To PERFORM *MANY* ACTIVITIES. Dr's note/Conference to be scheduled. We have had problems in the past with her needs being disregarded and frecklette being put in difficult situations due to her disability. We would greatly appreciate your utmost cooperation to make this a great school year. Thankyou very much ~ " too bitchy? not enough? was the hint of a LAWSUIT clear you think? bc honest to pete that is what I am contemplating as a possible next step. she has a DISABILITY. by Law then, she has major Serious RIGHTS that CANNOT be violated. her gym teachers blowing off her condition and yelling at her to get off the bench ( what was aggreed to have happen whenever there was something she couldn't do, just quitely go sit down; instead of being Singled Out, Yelled At and TEased by other kids. damnit, I'm mad all over again now.) a laywer or just trying to get her excused from gym indefinately. she's not a physical kid. I really trully think it'd be the best option but yet, I know that Any activity is still better for her than none at all, and would Prefer to work With, rather than Against, the school system. gah. sorry to rant on like that, but Mama Bear is alive & roaring ! her first day was great however, so yah and yah! how was Danny's day Mandi? I have thought of him all day today too! -------------------- I am a *spark* in this world; get lit.

Thank you Ms. freckle for giving me the heads up on this board. My little ladies are 4 1/2 and 2. I'm a stay at home Mom so I tend to be in desparate need of adult conversation on a regular basis. RE: The Gatekeeper theory I didn't do it so much when our first baby arrived (as we were both just as clueless), but definitely with the second. Now that I am a SAHM, it's sometimes hard to "hand over the reigns" but I've gotten much much better with it. What finally occured to me was that while my husband and I do things differently, it doesn't mean there is a "right" and a "wrong" way--just a "Mommy" and a "Daddy" way. Helped put things into perspective quite a bit. |

hey momas - I've been away for a while and now I'm back with a toddler now - 16 months and just starting to talk.
Sybarite - good to hear that Italy is so kid friendly. My inlaws are Italian and we're planning on going soon. Even the Italians here friends of theirs are so friendly towards busterdoll - almost too friendly as he's at the height of seperation anxiety. When will the seperation anxiety end?! Was getting a lot of flack on my holiday with busterdoll crying every time I left the room or anyone else trying to take him. Apparently when I'm not there he's also a lot less whiney but with me - uber whingey. But - I take comfort in everything that says that very attached children grow up more healthy or at least not as sociopaths. I am still breastfeeding in the middle of the nights which astonishes the inlaws and my mum to no end. I have to quote Pediatric Society's comments etc. but really when it comes right down to it - I'm loathe to give it up because it makes things so much easier in the middle of the night if he wakes up. He gets so worked up and a bit of boob always calms him down. I guess I'm a little lazy. Re: gatekeeper - am inherrent gatekeeper as my job is all about gatekeeping and my single mum did it all. Have to force myself to relax and ask myself is it really important and what's the worst that could happen. |

Thanks Mando for your post. I agree: simply wanting her around and respecting her are the biggies. I hope it's okay if I pop in here sometimes; I find reading this thread helps me make sense of her and my relationship.
We've all been on vacay together all week which was a quick learning curve into the daily decisions of parenting for me! I don't make any of the discipline decisions or have any say over what she eats, but we were effectively functioning as a family while we were away. It was fun but it was exhausting, and has left me with refreshed respect for you fulltime parents! It helped a lot that we were in Italy, which had great food for her (and us, yum) and is very child centric. They loved her, so restaurants (for example) were really accommodating. She and I are getting along so I do think it was a wee blip and no more. That may all change any second now as she hits the teen years but so far, so good. I read that article and the letters fallout from it last week. Not being a mother I can't relate, so have been interested to read all your responses. We actually did some 'traipsing around museums' which, for me, was one of the more fun things about our trip, but then the mister and I are geeks. I think I would miss the 'me time' the worst. Mister's daughter is staying with us for a bit now we're back; I stayed up way too late last night just to have some time alone after being with them 24/7 for five days. Now they're out and I have the house to myself. I feel bad craving space after only a week though! |

I'm not working (we moved in the middle of the pregnancy back to the US and honestly, who's going to hire a pregnant woman? Well, no one here has, anyway.) so I personally can't justify using disposables. I don't really want to, either. Use them, I mean. Who knows, I may change my mind, but that's it for now. However, I cannot imagine being pregnant, as ill as I was, with chani's schedule. Wow.
I'm curious about the diaper recycling, too. That would be great! |

anoushh: We went with disposable (yes, pampers definitely better than Huggies!) and paid $6/wk for a recycling service to pick them up. They say that over 90% of the diaper material is recyclable, so the $6 was my conscience money!

Whoops, cross-posted. As for the pumps, you can get one of the cheaper ones if it's only for occasional use, and see whether you need to "upgrade." I found the Aveda Isis manual to be most comfortable, if messier. I also had an Evenflo electric, and it about tore my nipples right off. The best by FAR in terms of comfort and ability to pump a lot in little time was the 2-holer Meleda, but that's when you're getting into more major bank.
O.K., the farmgirl quickie on cloth: All can be bought on e-bay, or secondhand. The only real issue with secondhand is that some of the "covers" loose their waterproofness and the velcro gets less sticky over time. Look carefully. This mostly applies to the larger sizes, though, as the smaller sizes are used for so short a time that they tend to still be in good shape even if they've been used for multiple babes. All cloth options have two components--an absorbent piece and a waterproof piece. There are three primary options: All in Ones: Basically like a disposable diaper made of cloth. Most expensive, but also easiest to deal with. They have some sort of sewn-in, absorbent liner, and some sort of waterproof cover. They close with velcro or snaps. Example here: http://www.greenmountaindiapers.com/allinone.htm Tri-fold/pre-fold + cover: These are what the diaper services use (which I had for awhile--Niiiiccceee! My handsome diaper guy, Adrian, would leave clean diapers and take my stinky ones away..). These are a folded, sewn diaper that you plop into a waterproof cover. No pins here, very similar to the all-in-ones except that the pieces aren't attached to each other. You can usually get a couple of peed diapers per cover. Example here: http://www.greenmountaindiapers.com/prefolds.htm Old skool diaper + pins + cover: This is a big, single piece of cloth that you pin around baby--old skool style. You still need a waterproof cover of some sort--often of the "plastic pants" variety. These are the cheapest and least convenient option, but still do-able, and still get the job done. You can get crazy with the fabrics--everything from wool to hemp. You can also add liners. There are also "fitted" diapers which are like an all-in-one without the waterproof part (these still require a cover of some sort). I used the tri-fold + cover option, as the all-in-ones were out of my price range. Whew! That's the quick version--I hope it helps! |

anoushh, Cloth or throwaway? I did mostly cloth for all 3 tots, so can give you the scoop on those if you're considering them. And, I agree with moxie on the breastpump--good to have so you can leave the tot for longer than a couple of hours and know he/she'll be able to eat.

I was thinking cloth diapers, which are even more confusing!
(Though I'll use any given to me, whatever kind.) Thanks for the advice about the pump. They are a lot of money, potentially, and I didn't want to get one unless there was a good reason. And unlike a lot of things I get, it's not something I'm going to get second hand! |

You need to know pipe length and height above the opening into the next larger pipe, pipe materials, # of elbows, etc.
Greetings gang and thanks in advance for any help:
we are remodelling our shower and are looking to put in multiple shower heads and some body sprays.
our current drain is 2".
My question is what is the maximum GPM flow that this drain will handle? Also, is there somewhere on line where I can look at the calculations, etc?
Thanks again for any help.

Assuming you don't have anything greater than say 1" pipes supplying water, it should not be a problem. Now, if it is a really large area of shower, you may want a second drain to limit how far the water has to go to get to the drain.

I'm not sure that the links above are an answer, as they deal with pressurized flow, and you're asking about gravity flow.
I think you can get a workable answer, though not exactly to the question you asked, by looking at your code to see how many fixture units it assigns to the shower heads and how many it allows for the drain pipe size. You're going to have to work within that code if you plan to pass inspection.
Here's the IPC as an example, not intending to say it controls for you.
Thanks for the help so far, but I remain confused.
Arkansas has adopted the codes in the link. Our house was built circa 2003.
our master bath shower has a 2 inch drain, 1 shower, 1 toliet, 2 sinks, 1 bath tub separate from the shower.
the remainder of our house has 2 additional toliets, 3 additional bath sinks, 1 kitchen sink, and 1 washer.
If I total this up correct with what I have, it comes to 22 units. The rating for a two inch drain if I am reading the table correctly calls for a maximum unit value of 21 for a 2 inch drain with only one quarter inch of slope per foot.
for a slope of one half inch per foot, it apparently allows up to 26 units.
I want to add to my existing master show 1 additional shower head (total of 2), and 4 body sprays. The gpm rating of the two shower heads will be 2.5 gpm each for a total of 5 and for each of the body sprays 1.75 gpm for a total of 7 for the sprays and a grand total of 12 gpm for the entire shower.
When I consulted my plumber this afternoon he said that the maximum GPM for a 2" drain is 12gpm, so according to him this will work.
I would like to get some independent confirmation of this.
Will the above work with a 2" drain?
Thanks again in advance for any help/replies.
I don't want to remodel the entire shower and then not have it drain.
I think you're missing something...your toilet drain is at least a 3" pipe, and the whole house may go into a 4" pipe. The outlet of the house drain system is at least 3".
