If there is one thing that I could tell you not to be austere with, it's time. I am so obsessed with time – how fast it's passing, how old I'm getting, how much I'm wasting, how long till the weekend, how long till I retire… it's endless. I am so warped with my relationship with time, I can't fully be in the moment wherever I am.
Growing up, I was also obsessed with time. How long till I could move out of the house, how long since I'd talked to my parents, when is that guy going to phone me, how long till my favorite TV show is on? I garnered really bad habits that are still with me to this day. Generally, I sit a lot during the day. I'm busy on the computer doing work for work, or other things. But the gist is, I'm sedentary most of the day. At my new job, I am trying to change that. I have free use of a small gym with stairmaster, elliptical, treadmill, and weights that I could use anytime. Have I? Not this year. I did a few times last year and noticed a great improvement in mood, stamina, breathing, the whole shebang. Why not continue? It takes too much time. I don't like to sweat. My hair gets icky. Pathetic, huh? That is my main excuse for not exercising. I hate washing my hair. My hair is dry and I hate how it feels when I wash it every day. On the whole, I'm pretty French about my hygiene. I dry out pretty easily in the California sun and showering only adds to that.
The point is, even if the whole "it takes too much time" thing was valid for exercising, I would feel justified in taking that stance if I did something else with the time I saved. I don't. Often, I'm so grateful to arrive back home unscathed from a road rage incident, or the trip to the crazy grocery store with the overly friendly and severely underefficient checkers, that all I want to do is flop on the couch and just decompress. My husband gets home before I do, and I miss that 15 or 20 minutes to myself. Of course there's the dog who wants to eat, and go outside, and the cats who are jumping all over looking for treats and basically just saying "hello! We missed you!" And, do I ask for that 15 or 20 minutes? NO! I just try to work around it, because I think I should be grateful that my hubby and my pets are glad to see me (which I really am grateful for, BELIEVE ME!).
This journey has been all about doing what's best for ME. I am really learning that I am no good whatsoever to other people if I am not happy and doing things that are good for me. I can't be effective in anything I do – job, wife, friend, worker – if I am not taking care of the spiritual side of myself and the inside of me.
I'm well in to my 40's now… you'd think I wouldn't give a crap about what people think about me. But I really do, sometimes. This is the Chinese year of the Dragon. I think it's time to be dragon-like, in a lot that I do. I finally have stopped sabotaging myself with my artistic nature. I joined the chorus that was just started at work; I made contact with the amazing pianist I knew in college, who invited me to sing at the piano bar he works at; I have opened myself up to singing for the women's conferences I am part of; I am writing on a regular basis – to open up that channel and get myself happy again. Because, I am happy when I'm singing. If you don't like it, too bad.
I remember as a kid, like a really young kid, 5 or 6, sitting on the hump seat of my parent's lime green Plymouth Duster with the 8-track playing Engelbert Humperdinck or Johnny Horton. They loved both of these. I would throw my head back and croon "Pleeeeeeeeease Releeeeease Meeeeee, Let Me Gooooooooo" with all the poise of being onstage at Carnegie. I was a performer even then, and my sisters would just be horrified and embarrassed, and elbow me in the gut, and look right in my eyes and say, "SHUT. UP."
I've always been moved by music. Before the internet, we actually had to take our LPs and listen to our song over and over and over and OVER to learn the lyrics. We couldn't just put in the first few words to Google and presto. I was in love with lyrics. Thank God I received earphones for a gift or my parents would have probably murdered me during the "Cool Change" phase by Little River Band. At least 100 times, I'm guessing, over and over. And, I do think it was a little suspect for a young girl like me to be so fascinated with Joni Mitchell. It definitely changed my persona, but probably for the better. I remember the first time I heard "Cactus Tree" – although it was written only a year after I was born, I didn't really hear it till I had moved to Boston in my early 20s to go to school. I heard Joni's song –
She has brought them to her senses
They have laughed inside her laughter
Now she rallies her defenses
For she fears that one will ask her
For eternity
And she's so busy being free
They have laughed inside her laughter
Now she rallies her defenses
For she fears that one will ask her
For eternity
And she's so busy being free
She will love them when she sees them
They will lose her if they follow
And she only means to please them
And her heart is full and hollow
Like a cactus tree
While she's so busy being free
and recognized someone – myself. You can touch me… but you can't touch me. I have never felt a "part of" wherever I have been. A lot of that is definitely me, but I really did feel like I was looking down on the situation and seeing myself react. Strangely enough, in a lot of memories I still have that vantage point – I can see myself, and the other people in my memory, but from the outside, not from my eyes.
I left on a student visa in 1988, and when I graduated in 1990, I decided to stay. I had no job, no money to speak of, no Green Card. But I didn't want to go home. I knew if I went back to Canada, I would get swallowed up by my family. My self-esteem was already non-existent, going back would have crushed me. Not that growing up in Canada was bad – I would not have wanted to grow up anywhere else, seriously. I had wonderful teachers and long summers full of midnight sun and wicked storms, winters that froze my skin and showed me the lights of heaven dancing above, nature and animals right in my backyard. I am a country girl at heart, happy to be digging in the dirt and smelling that smell of hot, wet pavement right after a summer storm, or the earthy darkness of black healthy topsoil ready to be planted.
Boston cradled me, with its easy access to Walden, Thoreau, Emerson, Mt. Auburn cemetery, the open spaces I loved, farms, and respect for nature. One of my favorite poets has always been Edna St. Vincent Millay. This poem broke my heart in college.
What lips my lips have kissed, and where, and why,
I have forgotten, and what arms have lain
Under my head till morning; but the rain
Is full of ghosts tonight, that tap and sigh
Upon the glass and listen for reply;
And in my heart there stirs a quiet pain
For unremembered lads that not again
Will turn to me at midnight with a cry.
Thus in the winter stands a lonely tree,
Nor knows what birds have vanished one by one,
Yet know its boughs more silent than before:
I cannot say what loves have come and gone;
I only know that summer sang in me
A little while, that in me sings no more.
I have forgotten, and what arms have lain
Under my head till morning; but the rain
Is full of ghosts tonight, that tap and sigh
Upon the glass and listen for reply;
And in my heart there stirs a quiet pain
For unremembered lads that not again
Will turn to me at midnight with a cry.
Thus in the winter stands a lonely tree,
Nor knows what birds have vanished one by one,
Yet know its boughs more silent than before:
I cannot say what loves have come and gone;
I only know that summer sang in me
A little while, that in me sings no more.
I know that all of this… all of this, can be taken away in a gnat's wingflap. Gone. And even on the worst days, life is pretty amazing. The sun in the sky, the smells in the air, the love in your husband's eyes as he sees you for the first time in a week and holds you in his arms… that's God. Those tiny, moment to moment blips that get in the way of everything else going on in your life, like a dog nudging your hand with his wet nose, propelling you forward when you don't want to go, or witnessing small acts of kindness and smiles between strangers. That's God. That's love. It's so easy to choose it. There's too much hate in the world already. I don't need to add to it. It's too easy to retort and hate and spit venom like a viper disturbed.
Unfortunately, in the three "types" that is me. The first is the Turtle, who retreats his head and limbs into his impenetrable shell and refuses to deal with the world. The second is the Skunk, who instead of dealing with the world, shoots pheromones out of his ass that choke and offend you and make it impossible for you to stick around. The third is the snake, and, in my case, the Viper. I know I'm a Viper because I've seen other snakes and there is something different about the Viper. Snakes strike at you to warn you, and for their self-defense. Vipers strike quickly and with the intent to cause as much damage as possible. But I'm trying to be different.
It's really, really, REALLY difficult to stand in your shoes and have people verbally attack you and not do anything except let them spit. I have had my own sister call me a "Fucking Cunt" and not reacted. (In the subsequent dream sequence, I True-Blooded myself across the room and beat her like a red-headed stepchild, but then, like all Al-Anons, the dream sequence continued on to her calling the cops, pressing an assault charge, me landing in jail, and having my Green Card revoked and being stuck in Edmonton while my husband, the love of my life, was destroyed over it.) So, I stuck with setting my jaw, breathing, and letting her spew. And spew she did. Something odd happened about minute 9 of the tirade. I saw her. The shell fell away, and I really saw her. The bottom teeth worn down to nubs, from clenching and swallowing the anger. The skin pale and dull. The eyes, which were once deep cerulean blue and made you fall into them, now also dull and lifeless. I had compassion for her. I have known her anger and it is ugly. But it is without teeth. I knew it couldn't hurt me unless I let it. And she needed it to hurt me. So when it didn't, she floated away like a leaf on the Autumn wind.
Fear and stress hormones do the weirdest things to your body, though. I stunk afterwards. The smell of it was all over me, my hair, my breath, my pee. I had to shower for half an hour to rid myself of it, and drink a ton of water to flush the toxins out. But I came through. I put up with 15 minutes of Viper Venom to get an hour of my parents' time. It seemed like 24. I can count on one hand the times I remember my mom saying she loved me, or embracing me. She did both after our talk. And so did my dad. They were the most honest I can ever remember them being.
I was not looking forward to saying what I had to say, or walking through this part of adulthood. Time had stopped for me and to see what it had done to my parents was harsh. But I had to see it. And they had to see me. They still saw me as the little naïve girl who left 25 years ago, who didn't stick to her word, just wanted people to like her, was waiting for someone to stand up for her. I'm not that girl anymore. I'm a grown woman, with faults, disappointments, bad habits, regrets, the whole nine yards. But I'm more real now than I ever have been. I've stopped waiting for someone to stand up for me and started doing it myself, respectfully. I'm no longer the girl from the Cactus Tree song, who fears that someone will ask me for eternity, who doesn't know her value and her place in the world. I'm no longer busy being free. I'm busy being exactly who God always wanted me to be, and that's just me, with all my quirks and faults. I have found friends who have stood in the gap for me and raised me up, cared for me enough to help me change.
Life happens to all of us. It's always messy, even when it's good, and the bottom line is we don't get out alive. None of us. So why starve? Step up to life's buffet and dig in. There's no need to deny yourself its experiences. There's plenty of love, laughter, fun, tears, God, sunsets, dog kisses, and emotion for all of us. It's going to happen regardless, you can't bank it and come back another time. Make the most of it.

Impact beat Union, solidify playoff spot
Highlights: Montreal 2-1 Philadelphia
MONTREAL -- Marco Di Vaio scored his 20th goal of the season, defender Karl Ouimette headed in his first career goal and the Montreal Impact took a big step toward making the MLS playoffs with a 2-1 victory over the Philadelphia Union on Saturday.
The Impact (14-12-7), who ended a six-game winless run, are solidly in playoff position going into their final regular-season game in Toronto.
Fabinho scored in the first half for Philadelphia (12-11-10), who began the day in a three-way tie with Montreal and Chicago for fourth place in the Eastern Conference.
Di Vaio became the 11th player in MLS history to score 20 goals in a season.

http://wccftech.com/amd-hd7000-southern-islands-series-gpus-revealed-catalyst-117/27899/ Based on the info above. It seems that VLIW4 only survived one generation. Now GCN (graphic core next) is the new core design. Considering VLIW5 survived 4 generations (2xxx to 5xxx), ATI is really on the move again. Seems to me, the ATI team in AMD are the creative ones and the ones bringing on the profits. Their CPU team is very slow in pumping out new stuff. Thats why the focus appears to be more GPU orientated. I really look forward to see an APU and HD7970 working as one. Things like direct compute or OpenCL can be done on the APU with great efficiency (even more efficient that discrete GPU). Then let the powerful HD7970 do the graphics to produce blazing framerate. fingers cross that AMD and ATI can pull this off.
I have doubts about increase in theoretical performance. But I think practical performance should increase. I expect the new design to have ALU's working more often because it has been well fed with data and have less waiting for other calculation to be finish before executing new ones. I hope they are able to squeeze in as many ALU as the famous 5870 (1600 cores) and run it at 1+ghz.
It's pretty likely that focusing more on GPGPU will cause a loss on graphics performance per transistor because the two aren't really directly related. See huge Fermi compared to smaller Cayman. This new AMD GPU architecture is more about going after the NV Tesla market (Intel is after it too with that Knights Corner beast). I suspect that the chip will be large and use 28nm well but that its performance isn't going to be that big of a leap. But then we haven't really had big leaps in many years. I find it strange that they moved to VLIW4 at all with this new design coming to replace it.
i dont see it quite so negatively, this be their once talked of hectadonacles (hundred headed serpent) itll have less shaders then 5870 for deff but they will be twice as useable and if scaled to 28nm they may be able to push the shader/gpu clocks beyond what is poss now by default v excitedbout this also i saws a doubling in perfprmance going from xfired 3870's to my 1x 5870 and 1x4870 equalled my 2x3870's so why your so negative is beyond me in reallity the 6xxx series was i bit weak an upgrade to the 5xxx series (same core similar shaders) imho and hence no card doubled the 5870's power excepct dual gpu agreed afaik it was down to die space on 40nm and prob had some relevance to the lano APU design as 400 4xshaders would take up less space in a APU then 400 5x shaders and what with the stars cores taking more room then bulldozer imho it makes some sense as its ALL about size and die area
What I said was that GPGPU features do little for gaming performance but they do cost transistors that could have gone towards more game graphics hardware. This is why NVIDIA's chips have gotten so huge and yet don't blow AMD's away. GPGPU stuff we don't really have use for. They are going to blow a big chunk of their 28nm transistor budget on GPGPU and it's going to cost graphics potential. AMD and NV are going after that GPGPU market and we are becoming less of a priority. Also, 5870 is more like only 30-50% faster than 4870. 3870 was a rather poor GPU and 4870 was a big improvement over it however. 3870 occasionally gets slapped around by even 8800GT for some reason. AMD's R600 and RV670 chips had problems with efficiency. 40nm had nothing to do with the switch to VLIW4. Cayman was originally to be 28nm but the delay to 28nm caused them to go back and set it up for 40nm. The chip is the same thing as it would have been on 28nm though. It takes them several years to design GPUs so they can't make major changes in a short period of time.
Don't get me wrong, I really love AMD and Nvidia are still in the game but where are the killer games? I feel PC games industry is stuck somewhere (maybe between obsolete consoles and piracy), comes to my mind Crysis 2, I mean the game supports DX11 through a PATCH!!!! that came out 3 months after game release!!!!
This is true, we have some very good games, but we've always had really good games in the past before these newer architectures.
5870 is faster by a bigger margin then that + is dx11 thats a big enough improvement right their, 4870 was twice as fast as a 3870 you and i both agree on that and i agree the 3870 wasnt great anyway. the 7xxx series is what the 6xxx series would have been had 28nm worked, what they released whas a revision of the core from 5xxx series and some regular un risky shaders and i agree it takes years to dev gpu's but their process fell over late in the day and they backtracked fast simples they needed 28nm to fit southern islands plus the old shader type(what went in anyway) but didnt have the room for the new core on 40 nm given the shader count increase needed to counter nvidia 7xxx new not revised southern islands core and new shader array all im saying is im optomistic AMD will get it right and imho they playing a wise game due to knights corner + nvdia's project denver APU(what they gona call that APU prob NPU) and i dont think they will choose to harm graphics performance just to better gpu performance they will still need benchmark scores to sell their gfx cards after all
Ain't it the truth. I don't really know why I bothered buying a Radeon 6950 anymore. I think I just wanted to waste money lol. 8800GTX was running the console ports fine.
ΑΜD is the BEST to make new architectures for CPU !! A) The AMD A64 Architecture was the first with IMC ,HYPER TRANSPORT and 64bit ! B) The K10 & K10,5 Architecture waw the first with IMC, NATIVE QUAD CORE and L3 CACHE !! C) The FIRST REAL CHIP with CPU+IGP in ballance computing is Llano. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Intel imitated all these architectures many years later !!!! Now AMD want to make the first real cp-gpu = TRINITY !!! For more information, you can see here: http://www.pcper.com/reviews/Graphi...ecture-Overview-Southern-Isle-GPUs-and-Beyond http://techreport.com/discussions.x/21141
part true but your underselling intel their a bit and deff overselling AMD, they are both quite happy to copy each others ideas, amd have been reffering to bulldozer as a competant(moreso then intel) realisation of hyperthreading or was that a truly orig idea by AMD, i think not, but to be fair your right intel dont mind copying either or just using AMD licenced stuff(X64,A64 war 1 0 AMD) i half thought i was in a BD thread there a min sorry in these slides http://wccftech.com/amd-slides-detail-upcoming-radeon-hd-79-series-gpu-architecture/21471/ it looks like their grouping simd units into fours and calling them compute units so i spose my top question is how MANY 320 512 or 640 are my clear faves making for a poss shader count total of 1280 2048 or 2560 but they also hint at multple primitive paths which imho seems like multiple schedulers etc ie more then one gpu (though probably cut down parts thereof) in a modular array making 64 cu per core x 4 cores my prediction making for 1024 shaders, itd make sense, though 8x cores with 64 CU units each makes more with chip binning in mind( ps4, xboxwoteva) any news on when 7xxx series is due
If you know the truth, is not AMD who makes the architecture, are the people who make them. The more money in, the better architecture. After all, intel is the best for cpu right now. Even though i am an AMD fan. Ideas are relative, people change.
yeh people working in/for AMD/Intel FYI that dosnt even makes sense its getting worse this thread, i cane get wot yo be is saying (.)(.)
From 2007 up to today, intel has ready the lines of production chip in 32nm and in 45nm the correct moment. For this reason Intel has better products per moment.
meh... new archictecture cant justified every point if it still slower than the competitors. every company has their own fields, from my point of view AMD is still the best when focus on balancing performance between CPU and GPU, when intel is specialize focusing on CPU, and nvidia are good when focusing on GPU,, eventhough i had build majority of my cpu's with AMD, i gotta to admit that the fastest CPU is still on Intel's hand..

What is a dialect? According to the American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language, a dialect is The problem with this definition is that it implies that there is some sort of "standard" language from which all of the various dialects of that language differ. In English, however, I do not think this is true. I think that the English language is far too widespread and varies too much for anyone to say that the English spoken in ____ is "standard" and everything else is a "dialect." Even if it were narrowed down to a single country, there is still a great deal of variation within that country, and who is to say which region/city/state/province speaks proper English? My definition of a dialect is simply this: "A variation of a given language spoken in a particular place or by a particular group of people." Therefore, when I use the term dialect, I am not making any sort of judgment about the quality or "correctness" of that variety of English. I believe that American, British, Canadian, and Australian English are all dialects of the English language, and that none of them is any better or more proper than any other. In writing about English dialects on this site, my goal is to make English speakers - both native and non-native - aware of the differences in English as it is spoken around the world. I don't think that the English I speak (see About My English, below) is "right" English, nor do I think that British and Australian are "wrong" English. I am fascinated by language in all its forms, and this site provides me with the opportunity to discover more about the language I speak and how it varies from the English spoken by others. So wherever you are from and whatever form of English you speak, please
do not take offense at my use of the term "dialect" in referring to
different varieties of English. They are all interesting and valuable, and I
respect every single one. Copyright ©

SLJ's 2013 Public Library Leadership Think Tank April 5, 2013 SLJ is thrilled to launch its first daylong leadership event dedicated to those innovating children's services in public libraries. This free day-long event, held at New York Public Library's main branch will focus on trends and issues in Children's Services, tapping top children's and teen librarians and their directors from across the nation to engage with one another in an intimate but intensive exchange of expertise, leadership strategies, and best practices. This invitation-only event is designed to parallel SLJ's well-established and successful School Library Leadership Summit held every year. The Think Tank is designed to foster the cross-fertilization of ideas among the talented librarians creating the libraries of our future, to support innovation in those libraries, and to build key connectivity beyond library walls and between librarians in both school and public libraries—all to better serve our kids in this rapidly changing culture. In a small and intensive Think Tank environment some 100 children's and teen librarians and library directors will address the most pressing challenges of today and the greatest opportunities ahead for public libraries and will explore the vital role of children's services in shaping these institutions.Among the programming highlights is a keynote by Pam Sandlian Smith, the dynamic leader of the Anythink Librariesin Colorado. The day will also feature a panel on effective collaborations and author presentations. A key component, however, will be the Think Tank itself, an afternoon unconference moderated by Darien Library's Kiera Parrott, which will provide peer to peer learning on the topics participants identify as the most critical—with takeaways for all attendees and the profession as a whole.

Obligate biotroph parasitism: can we link genomes to lifestyles?
Trends in Plant Science, Volume 17, Issue 8, 1 August 2012, Pages 448-457
Eric Kemen and Jonathan D.G. Jones
AbstractAlthough the oomycetes and fungi are evolutionarily very distantly related, both taxa evolved biotrophy on plant hosts several times independently, giving rise to rust- and mildew-like phenotypes. Differences in host colonization and adaptation may be reflected in genome size and by gain and loss of genes. In this opinion article we combine classical knowledge with recently sequenced pathogen genomes and present new hypotheses about the convergent evolution that led to these two distinct phenotypes in obligate biotrophs.

AbstractFungi and Oomycetes are the two most important groups of eukaryotic plant pathogens. Fungi form a separate kingdom and are evolutionarily related to animals. Oomycetes are classified in the kingdom Protoctista and are related to heterokont, biflagellate, golden-brown algae. Fundamental differences in physiology, biochemistry and genetics between fungi and Oomycetes have been described previously. These differences are also reflected in the large variations observed in sensitivity to conventional fungicides. Recently, more pronounced differences have been revealed by genomics approaches. However, in this review we compare the mode of colonization of the two taxonomically distinct groups and show that their strategies have much in common.

Describing commonalities in microbial effector delivery using the Gene Ontology
Trends in Microbiology, Volume 17, Issue 7, 1 July 2009, Pages 312-319
Marcus C. Chibucos, Tsai-Tien Tseng and João C. Setubal
AbstractMyriad symbiotic microbes, ranging from mutualistic through to pathogenic, deliver 'effector' molecules into the cytoplasm or cellular milieu of their hosts to facilitate colonization. Among ecologically and evolutionarily diverse taxa, analogous processes and structures exist to facilitate effector delivery. These include syringe-like injection (bacteria and nematodes), common host-targeting signals (oomycetes and protozoans) and specialized intercellular structures (fungi and oomycetes). Here, we briefly introduce readers to the Gene Ontology (GO), a controlled vocabulary to facilitate comparative genomics of diverse taxa. We also summarize and compare selected mechanisms of effector delivery from various organisms and show how careful annotation of gene products with GO can reveal underlying similarities among diverse taxa.

Filamentous microbes that form highly developed symbiotic associations (ranging from pathogenesis to mutualism) with their hosts include fungi, oomycetes and actinomycete bacteria. These organisms share many common features in growth, development and infection and have evolved similar strategies for neutralizing host defense responses to establish symbioses. Recent advances in sequencing technologies have led to a remarkable increase in the number of sequenced genomes of filamentous organisms. Analysis of the available genomes has provided useful information about genes that might be important for host infection and colonization. However, because many functional similarities among these organisms have arisen by convergent evolution, sequence-based genomic comparisons will miss many genes that are functionally analogous. In the absence of sequence similarity, annotating genes with standardized terms from the Gene Ontology (GO) can facilitate functional comparisons. Here, we review common strategies employed by filamentous organisms during colonization of their hosts, with reference to GO terms that best describe the processes involved.

Romance gets a little dicey in the sassy, sizzling second novel by the author of Bunco Babes Tell All.
"This light escapist fare continues the adventures that began with Bunco Babes Tell All. It's entertaining, amusing and conveys the idea that whatever else is going on in a woman's life, good or bad, it's wonderful to have a group of friends to share it all with. AS a fun bonus, Geraci has included tips and recipes from bunco groups around the country."

Like a lot of kids, when I chose a college, I picked one far from home. In my case, it was the University of Alabama in Tuscaloosa.
When I was in my late 20s, I thought I had my whole life figured out. I'd earned degrees in social work, counseling and criminal justice. I was working as counselor for the Department of Corrections. I'd be chief counselor by 35, assistant warden by 40, warden by 45, retire and then spend the rest of my working life teaching and writing.
Gainesville is a very special place, a town with many traditions, a town rich in diverse cultural, artistic musical organizations. I have visited many cities here and overseas, and I do not know of any similar-sized town with such broad cultural activities.
An ethics class for lobbyists? Why didn't I think of that? Senate President Pro Tem Eric Johnson, R-Savannah, and several of his colleagues have dreamed up a swell idea during this election year. They would teach a formal ethics course to lobbyists. No, they didn't say anything about delivering ethics lectures to legislators, too.
One January after the Christmas break I asked one of my students how the break went. "I hated it" he replied.
Earlier, I listed the top three presidential candidates in each major party I thought best qualified overall for the presidency under the philosophical banner of that party and the major issues. Now that the list has been narrowed to one Republican and two Democrats, let's beat the major media in doing the same for the running mates.
A majority of Americans of all parties and persuasions want change this election year. Only problem is most of those who objectively think issues thoroughly through aren't sure exactly what kind of change is possible, meaningful and really needed.
Just how conservative is John McCain? It has been interesting to watch, listen and read about this issue.
I've been a supporter of Sen. Barack Obama since 2004, not because of his skin color but because he happens to be a political leader with rare God-given transformative skills and gifts. This is unprecedented, and politics is the last place we look for anything having to do with the latter.
I am getting concerned. A lot of my most reliable targets have dried up and gone away. Kind of like the drought, except annexing Tennessee won't help me any.
I called Rep. Tom Graves, R-Ranger, the other day to see how he likes living in the political doghouse.
Why is kids' body-mass index such a weighty issue now?
A little less than a year ago, about this time of year, adult education classes at technical colleges across the state were facing a terrible dilemma. Because of political clashes in Atlanta, adult education teachers were to be furloughed for May and June because there was no money designated in the state budget to pay their salaries for those months.
Nothing hurts parents as deeply as news of the violent death of a child. Over time, the grief subsides slightly but it never goes away, not after a year or a decade or even a quarter of a century.
I have been so wrong so often on these presidential primaries that I don't know where to start cleaning up and trying to explain my record.
It was as ugly as a wart hog, but for the 11th time in the past 12 years, 38th of the past 50 and 65th out of 108, the University of Georgia, the oldest state-chartered university in the nation, located in Athens, the Classic City of the South has bested You-Know-Where Institute of Technology for the State Football Championship, 41-34.
There's an old joke that goes, "a bank is a place that will lend you money if you can prove that you don't need it."
As of this writing, six world powers have reached an agreement with Iran that would prevent that country from developing nuclear weapons.
Knock! Knock! Knock!
When it comes to holidays, I've always preferred Thanksgiving to Christmas.
Last week, family and friends gathered in the small town of Chattahoochee Hills, south of Atlanta, to celebrate a life well-lived. Our late grandson, Zack Wansley, was honored at the dedication of "Zack's Glade," a pristine and picturesque piece of Cochran Mill Park near where he died while training for the Atlanta Marathon in 2008.

Keeping It In The Family
I had sex with my mother-in-law. I have been married for twenty-five years to the same woman and have always been attracted to my wife�s mom. She is hot! She looks like a Penthouse playmate and sometimes dresses like it, too. Last week, I went over to her house to find her dressed in a see-through shirt and see-through bra. Her breasts are very large and shapely. I love large breasts. That is where my wife gets her figure from, I assume. My mother-in-law saw me looking at her, and she commented that it isn't polite to stare. Then, she walked over to me and asked me if I wanted to see them. I replied of course I did! Off came the shirt and bra. Now, she was nude! I knew she shaved her pubic area because she has swam in our swimming pool before and her swim suit is very high cut at the thigh. We made out, and I manually gave her an orgasm standing in the bathroom. Next, we went to her bedroom and had crazy, wild sex. I think it is best to keep it all in the family.
-Andrew, 45

A war is coming and when it starts who's side will you be on?
Hi All,
On the 21st and 28th of this month we will be hosting a series of events for Transformers: War For Cybertron as part of Julys Community Calendar that will run from 20:05 AEST to 22:00 AEST . During these nights we want your help to decide who should rule Cyberton, the Decepticons or the Autobots.
We will be creating 2 rooms for each of these nights that will be invite only rooms so you will need to add both AUTOBOT_ANZ and DECEPTICON_ANZ to your friends list and make sure your online before 20:05 (AEST) to receive an invite to either game.
Once the night is over we will calculate the total wins and losses for both factions and crown a winner.
Now the only question that remains is will you fight for glory of the Decepticons to try and restore Cybertron to its "Golden Age" under the iron fist of Megatron. Or will you fight for the Honour of the Autobots under Optimus Prime to defend Cybertron an the rights of all sentient beings.
Thanks to the awesome people over at Activision we now have some goodies to giveaway for each of the events.
We will be giving the 1st and 2nd highest scoring players of each night a prize pack consisting of a Transformers, War for Cybertron Poster and Issue 1 comic.
In addition to this 1 pack will be given the MVT (Most Valuable Transformer) of each night, this will be decided by the Moderators and we will be looking for specific attributes to help us decide the winner.
Good luck eveyone, See you online.

hmmm, I might have to pick up for this. The reviews for the game on the net has been good and it would be worth playing some of the guys on the forums for a change instead of randoms on the other games I have been playing at the moment.

What works Nothing
What does not Starting the executables.
What was not tested Installing In-game Using the editor
Additional Comments
Copied working windows xp install, as described in the how-to below. Windows version set to XP, game version is 1.03
AG3 subtitles work if in winecfg both d3d9 and d3dx9_24 are set as (native then built-in). Illusion wizard does not work even installing .Net executables with winetricks, so dont mess with them, and if you're planning to do a lot of patching consider using a Virtual Machine like VirtualBox for the task.
Frame rate are not bad, but since vertex blending is emulated in cpu (thanks to the patch) when there are several girls in a place, frame rate noticeability drops.
In order to run AG3 almost flawlessly you will need to build a custom version of wine. In a terminal with Ubuntu first step is:
sudo apt-get build-dep wine
Note: if you need help doing that in other distribution or extra aid please ask in your distribution forums/chat as I will no have the time to answer how is done.
Then do the following steps:
mkdir custombuild && cd custombuild
wget http://bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=28205 -O vertex_blend_sw-1.1.44.diff
wget http://ibiblio.org/pub/linux/system/emulators/wine/wine-1.2.tar.bz2
tar -xvjf wine-1.2.tar.bz2
cd wine-1.2/
patch -p1 < ../vertex_blend_sw-1.1.44.diff
./configure --prefix=${HOME}/wine-vertexfixed
And you are ready right now to build the custom version of wine, building can last from 15 to 40 minutes so better enjoy a coffee after you write this and press enter:
If build suceeds last line of your terminal will be: Wine build complete.
If it wasn't seek for aid in your distro or wine help channel.
Last step of building will be installing the custom wine version
sudo make install
From this you can run your AG3 game via
~/wine-vertexfixed/bin/wine AG3_Play.exe
or if you installed in a different prefix, do like the following example
env WINEPREFIX=$HOME/.wine-ag3 ~/wine-vertexfixed/bin/wine 'C:\Program Files\AG3\AG3_Play.exe'
Japanese applications in general have certain Japanese words that will not display properly out of the box with Wine. In order to be able to view the Japanese characters that don't work, you must have Wine call out the Japanese locales on your computer. Go to a terminal and type in "LC_ALL=ja_JP wine" and then the path to your program. That is usually all it takes to make the Japanese characters work properly.
However, even with this method, the program may not still display the words correctly. That means that your computer probably does not have the proper locales enabled, so the result will be the same. Here are instructions on how to fix that.
In Ubuntu / Ubuntu-based Distribution:
Go to a terminal and type in "sudo nano (or your preferred text editor) /var/lib/locales/supported.d/ja". It should be a new file since there isn't a file called "ja" yet. Type in the following entries:
ja_JP.UTF-8 UTF-8 ja_JP.EUC-JP EUC-JP
Please make sure to press the Enter key after typing this in to start a new line. Thanks to Jordan M. for pointing this out.
Save the file, and type in this command:
sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales
In Arch Linux:
Go to your perferred terminal and login as root:
su - (enter your password when it tells you to)
Use your text editor to edit the following file:
nano (or your preferred text editor) /etc/locale.gen
Look for these two entries and uncomment them:
Save the text file, exit the editor, and then type in locale-gen in the terminal.
Try using the "LC_ALL=ja_JP wine" method. It should work this time. If it still doesn't work, you may not have the fonts that Wine needs to correctly display the Japanese characters.
Please note that this HOWTO is designed for Ubuntu, Ubuntu-based distributions, and Arch Linux. Other distribution may have slightly different methods.
NOTE - For new versions of Wine, all that you need to do to get the other Japanese characters to work is to store the Japanese fonts in your ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/Fonts directory. Use the "LC_ALL=ja_JP wine" command to run Japanese games or applications.
This HOWTO is still here for those who still can't get the characters to display properly.
If you've followed the first part of the HOWTO, you are already set to use Japanese programs that display the words properly. However, there are some applications that still have problems displaying them properly. These usually occur in a right-click menu, or when certain messages pop-up in a window. The reason for this is because some fonts need to be replaced with vaild japanese fonts in order for situations like this to work.
Here is how to fix this problem:
First, open up a text editor and save it as "ja_JP.reg". We will be creating a registry that Wine can use to determine which fonts to use when Japanese words do not work.
Next, copy and paste the following to the file:
REGEDIT4 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\FontSubstitutes] "System"="MS Shell Dlg" [HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-4\Software\Wine\Fonts\Replacements] "Arial"="MS UI Gothic" "Batang"=- "BatangChe"=- "Dotum"=- "DotumChe"=- "Fixedsys"="MS Gothic" "MingLiU"=- "MS Gothic"="MS Gothic" "MS Mincho"="MS Mincho" "MS PGothic"="MS Gothic" "MS PMincho"="MS Mincho" "MS Sans Serif"="MS Gothic" "MS Shell Dlg"="MS Gothic" "MS Shell Dlg 2"="MS Gothic" "MS UI Gothic"="MS UI Gothic" "PMingLiU"=- "SimHei"=- "SimSun"=- "Tahoma"="MS UI Gothic" "Terminal"="MS Gothic" "Wingdings"="Winedings"
As you can see from the entry, MS Gothic, MS UI Gothic, and MS Mincho are used. Make sure that these fonts are placed in your ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/Fonts directory. If you don't have these fonts, you can use different Japanese fonts in place of these and put them in your /windows/fonts directory.
Save the file, and enter this command in the terminal:
regedit ~/ja_JP.reg
This will put all the entries in the Wine registry. Use the "LC_ALL=ja_JP wine" command to run the Japanese program in question. I have a provided a screenshot of Planetarian that has the right-click menu displayed properly. You can view it in the screenshot gallery.
Install AG3 can be hard as you will need to play with language settings, locales setup multilanguage setup, and is not an easy task, although can be done I only suceed to do it on Ubuntu after days of criptic setups and I don recommend it.
A better approach will be install within windows or a VM like VirtualBox and then copy it over to a directory which can be accessed by wine. Following to the copy of the game files, registry must be edited manually to get the game to run.
wine regedit
create the following key
and as string values, the following (under JS3 key):
INSTALLDIR="C:\Program Files\illusion\AG3\
(or your install dir)
and the following as dword:
VERSION = 0x00000064

Fourth Annual RiverTini Pour-Off to mix it up on the River Walk
Published: June 13, 2012
Break out your best James Bond impression and shake the evening away at the fourth annual RiverTini Pour-Off, a San Antonio River Foundation fundraiser hosted by Hyatt Regency in their newly restored ballroom overlooking the San Antonio River. This night of martini madness will showcase San Antonio's premier restaurants and bars mixing smack-your-mama fresh martinis coupled with hors d'oeuvres from Q on the Riverwalk. What better excuse to amuse your bouche than to help the Foundation bring recreation, art, and public education to a broader expanse of the river?
The San Antonio River Improvements Project, a naturalistic expansion of the River Walk far to the south of downtown which is quickly becoming the longest linear urban park in the nation, has a budget of $400 million. While this seems like a lot to a cash-strapped writer, this only covers basic infrastructure needs for the 15-mile construction. The Foundation is raising additional money from corporations, foundations, and individuals to make the project sparkle with amenities. Established in 2003, the Foundation's mission is "to enhance the natural beauty, recreational use, and public appreciation of the entire San Antonio River." All proceeds from RiverTini will assist the Foundation with myriad ambitious projects, from erecting urban art benches to constructing Confluence Park at 310 West Mitchell on land purchased in 2007 from CPS Energy, who previously used the locale to store equipment and utility trucks. The Foundation hopes to convert this location adjacent to the river to a community pavilion with interactive water features that will allow the public to commune with nature.
If performing a social service isn't enough of an incentive to attend this soiree, let's talk 'tinis. The RiverTini Pour-Off 2012 will feature 18 participants in a friendly competition of mixology, including 2011 winner Cork Bar at Hotel Contessa, whose Spaniard Martini incorporated peach puree, citrus, and serrano peppers to create a tongue tango. The six-person judging panel will contain a range of experts, including the managing director of the Culinary Institute of America, judging on a 1 to 5 scale for flavor (yum), appearance (ooo, pretty!), and uniqueness (what the heck is that?).
"Keep it fresh and simple" advises Blanca Aldaco of Aldaco's Stone Oak, a 2012 judge and winner of the RiverTini Pour-Off for both 2009 and 2010. "And if it's too sweet, I'm going to faint."
Partygoers will also have the opportunity to partake as they sample the creative concoctions, which in the past have included such unique ingredients as sushi, Pop Rocks, and cucumber (though not in the same cocktail glass, we hope). Even smart phones will be able to get in on the action, as QR code technology will enable guests to take the martini recipes home with the click of a button.
Not enough, you say? Did I mention there will be a raffle too? For those too long out of college who have forgotten the allure of booze and snacks, there will be a range of goodies up for grabs at $100 per ticket, including a four-night condo stay in Vail, Colorado. "It's the perfect backdrop to showcase drinks designed to reflect the spirit, culture, and vitality of the river that flows through our city," said Estela Avery, executive director of the River Foundation. And nothing says river vitality like sushi and Pop Rocks. •

Slack & Davis White Papers and Articles
The following papers (provided in PDF format) were written by Slack & Davis attorneys. You are welcome to use the content for background, and to quote or reference in an article or report. However, please do not reproduce or redistribute these papers without permission from the authors.
One of the most significant changes to citizens' rights in the past decade is the 2003 medical malpractice law enacted by the Texas Legislature and signed into law by Governor Perry. These sweeping changes eradicated "Article 4590i" of the Texas Revised Civil Statutes and replaced it with "Chapter 74″ of the Texas Civil Practices and remedies Code. These changes, without exception, limit the rights of citizens affected by bad medical and hospital care, and enhance the profits of the insurance companies that support corporate medicine. There are some statutory similarities between Article 4590i and Chapter 74, so the cases construing Art. 4590i have carried forward until now in Ms. Sweeney's annual survey paper on the law of medical malpractice in Texas. However, with the passage of time, those cases dealing only with the expert report requirement of Art. 4590i are probably finally obsolete, but are retained here for historical purposes and for those few litigants who either still have 4590i cases or who are involved in cases with similar questions.

Clinic gives student real-world view of lawyering
Megan Fox
By the time they graduate from law school, students are well versed in contracts, constitutional law and criminal procedure, they have participated in oral arguments and attended many lectures. Fewer of them have navigated the complex IRS regulations on non-profit organizations, or written and filed for articles of incorporation on their behalf.
But Megan Fox has. Fox was enrolled in the legal clinic of the Innovation Advancement Program, formerly the Technology Ventures Services Group, and worked with ASU law, business and engineering students to provide legal and business consulting services to Arizona entrepreneurs.
The 2010 alumna of the College of Law, worked on three projects, including Africa Health New Horizons (AHNH), a nonprofit started by a Congolese-born physician who needed help launching his business from the ground up. Fox worked alongside Jennifer Lefere, an attorney at Hool Law Group in Phoenix, which mentors IAP students, and IAP director
Eric Menkhus
. Together, they created and filed the appropriate government paperwork for Kigabo Mbazumutima, whose dream is to change healthcare for his people in Africa.
Fox worked with other clients, too, preparing a supply chain assessment, performing an intellectual property audit for a start-up software venture and handling other business consulting functions.
"I want to do transactional work, and that's what the clinic does," said Fox, who has a B.A. in Economics from Colorado College and had contemplated getting an MBA before enrolling in law school.
The most important skill she has learned in the clinic is keeping clients on task. "When you're a lawyer and you have to bill your clients for every 20 minutes, you do them a disservice if you don't keep them on point," she said. "I've learned how important client management skills are."
Fox said she gained great insight from working with Lefere and Tom Fulcher, another IAP mentor and president of The Idea Gardener, a Valley business consulting firm. "It's the best way to learn, working with real professionals, because there's only so much you can learn in a class room. You get passionate about something by watching someone who is doing it," she said.
Students enrolled in the IAP should be self-motivated, organized and good at balancing their class work with their clinic responsibilities, she said. "You get out of the projects what you put into them, and how far you go is up to you," Fox said. "You have to be somebody who is not afraid to jump in and get started."
She called Menkhus a "great mentor who really cares about all of his clients and wants to see them and us succeed. He is as actively involved in all of the projects as he can be."
Fox had other good hands-on experiences during law school, including an internship at Intel Corp. in Chandler and an externship at the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation in Scottsdale. She hopes to stay in Phoenix and work in intellectual property law, and she continues to volunteer as a part of the AHNH team.
