One hundred and twelve years ago the eminent American writer Mark Twain sought and received pain relief for an agonising tooth from Newcastle dentist Mr Wells.
A thank you letter Twain sent to the dentist has inspired a group of artists from the School of Drama, Fine Art and Music at the University of Newcastle whose works will be displayed at the Newcastle Region Library Lovett Gallery from Friday 11 May.
Library Exhibitions and Events Coordinator CAROL EDMONDS says the original letter (dated 1895) is a highlight of the New Adventures of Mark Twain: coalopolis to metropolis exhibition.
"Twain's brief visit to Newcastle was part of a world speaking tour which included Australia. The thank you letter Twain sent Wells wasn't uncovered until around 1990. It shapes the superb collection of works on display at the Lovett Gallery by artists including Brett Alexander, Trevor Weekes , Liz Ashburn and Philip Schofield*."
The University of Newcastle curated the exhibition which will tour to New York later this year.
Senior Lecturer, Faculty of Education and Arts at The University of Newcastle, MIRANDA LAWRY says taking the exhibition to New York's Pearl Street Gallery will gain international recognition for the University of Newcastle and the arts in Newcastle.
"The exhibition has provided a rare opportunity for artists to explore an iconic figure whose visit to Newcastle inspired these works. The tour to New York will present Newcastle's rich cultural history to an international audience."
The exhibition will be opened by leading Australian author Don Watson, editor of The Wayward Tourist: Mark Twain's Adventures in Australia, at 5.30pm, Friday 11 May 2007.
*Other artists include: Anne Graham, Miranda Lawry, Pam Sinnott, Kris Smith and Patricia Wilson-Adams.

Mitchell case – the political route
Published: September 21, 2012 at 9:51 am
If Jones' attorney is rebuffed by the courts over the challenge to Mitchell's residency, the firebrand lawyer plans to shift gears and take the political route. Tom Ryan said he'll take his case to the House Credentialing Committee, a panel invested with the authority to vet incoming lawmakers' qualifications and recommend whether they should be seated.

A sure cure for no names on papers! |
I recently ran across this helpful little tip ... The Name Pen... from my friend and fellow teacher Katie! (Not only is she a wonderful teacher she is amazingly organized!) The Name Pen is a sure fire way to help your students remember to write their names on their papers! I don't know about you, but I have quite a few little ones who forget to do so, especially early in the year.
Here is how it works... When students are ready to turn in their work they highlight their name (one quick line across their name) and place it into the "All Done" basket. The "All Done" basket is where kids turn in completed work in our classroom. If a student pulls out the Name Pen to highlight their name and can't find it on their paper, it is a sure fire reminder to write it at that time. Yea, no more nameless papers! I kid you not, the Name Pen immediately cured the occurrence of those "no name" papers which often frustrate my record keeping and paper management routines. To make using the Name Pen even easier, use retractable highlighters. It makes the process quick and easy for all kids to use. This is an awesome little tip... thanks Katie! Give it a try, you will love it!

Based on the short clips of the network's new shows, here are three that look especially promising:
Pan Am: Like The Playboy Club on NBC, Pan Am is clearly going for the Mad Men look and feel. The drama stars Cristina Ricci and Kelli Garner as Pan Am stewardesses in the 1960s, a way of life that is as suffocating as it is glamorous. The preview scene captures that tension, in addition to proving a production quality that certainly echoes Mad Men:

Apartment 23: This comedy, which stars Krysten Ritter as a jaded, morally bankrupt New Yorker, is the latest to pick up on the "actors playing heightened versions of themselves" trend. Ritter's best friend is James Van Der Beek, playing James Van Der Beek. The former Dawson Leary is no stranger to self-parody, but the Dawson's Creek jokes actually land successfully in this clip, hinting that this outing may be more successful than the previous Vandermeme:

Scandal: So far, all three networks that have unveiled previews of their fall shows are short on new procedural dramas, a TV genre that's been extremely popular the past decade. Scandal is one of the few to receive a pickup this year, and it looks, on the surface, promising. Kerry Washington plays a professional crisis manager in this new drama from Shonda Rhimes, the creator of Grey's Anatomy and Private Practice. Having Rhimes at the helm means that in addition to odd, yet captivating, cases—this clip shows something involving an ambassador and a kidnapped baby—there should be plenty of soapy, personal drama as well:

Dimensional Fund Advisors Ltd.
David M. Salisbury assumed the leadership of Dimensional's London subsidiary in 2002, having previously served on the board of directors of Dimensional Fund Advisors from 1988 to 1996. His knowledge of the investment industry has allowed him to bring his own view and experience of money management to bear in setting up an office in the UK to manage Dimensional's business in Europe and the Middle East.
After receiving his MA in mathematics from Oxford University in 1973, David joined Schroders plc as an investment analyst, working in London and New York before becoming a portfolio manager and global head of research in 1979. In 1984, he was appointed executive vice president and subsequently chief executive (1986) of Schroder Capital Management International (SCMI), a position he held until 1996. During that period, SCMI grew to be the largest non-US-owned manager of international equities for US pension funds. In 1996, David was appointed joint chief executive of the Schroder Investment Management Group (SIM) with responsibility for all operations outside the UK. In 1998, he became chairman of SIM and in 2000 chief executive of Schroders plc. He resigned from Schroders in 2001 and joined Dimensional shortly thereafter.

I'm using light weights as I'm re-entering the lifting scene and even with light weights I feel my shoulder popping out. I never had this problem before during the year that I consistently trained. Should I be stopping before I feel this in my shoulder? Work through it? Anyone else experience similar?

In this paper, a general framework, called probability-based solution (PBS), is proposed to balance the trade-off between the accessibility (in terms of the success probability to find a route reaching the destination) and the performance (in terms of spectral efficiency, outage probability or energy consumption) of distributed routing schemes in multi-hop wireless networks. In the PBS, the candidate nodes (receivers) in each hop are first separated into two groups based on a direction either diverging from, or converging to, the direct line between the source and destination. Then, one of the best nodes from the two groups is selected according to a carefully-defined probability by considering the uncertainty in the subsequent hops. The simulation results demonstrate that integrating the proposed PBS with conventional distributed routing schemes can significantly improve the accessibility and effectively guarantee other system performance. Moreover, the PBS can also be combined with facing routing to solve the connectivity hole problem.

Check out this necklace:
It's made by SportyGirl Jewelry. I just discovered this site because MissZippy is having a giveaway for one of these necklaces. I don't earn any entries for posting this, I just felt like sharing this necklace in particular because it spoke so loudly to me…
To me it didn't just apply to running (although, reading the book 'Born to Run' makes the case that all of us were born to run!). To me the meaning went so much deeper…
To me, it meant I was BORN TO LIVE!
If you've been reading this site for a while, you know some of the challenges I've battled. I'm still battling. And there was a time where I wasn't sure that I wanted to live anymore. I'm glad I'm to a point now where even bad days don't make me feel that despondent anymore. There are still battles, but I think I'm on the uphill climb. (Why do uphills get such a bad rep in running yet they're indicative of good forward progress in life?)
I admit, I am still a little afraid at times… but remembering this motto perhaps I can fake it 'til I make it.

Also see Bridges of Exeter
There have been five known, permanent bridges across the Exe since the middle ages. Some historians think there may have been a Roman, stone built bridge, but no archeological evidence has been found for such a structure. It is known that during the Roman and Anglo Saxon times, the river was tidal and much wider and shallower, so that animals and carts crossed via a ford at low tide. There is some evidence from written accounts for a rickety, wooden walkway for pedestrians. However, so many travellers drowned in the waters of the Exe taking animals across the ford that by the late 12th century, it was decided to build something more permanent.
The first stone bridge was complete about 1238, by Nicholas and his son, Walter Gervase, who was four times Mayor of the city and who died in 1259. They raised the money through a public subscription - Walter went to friends and wealthy and influential citizens requesting funds for the new crossing. He raised enough to not only build the bridge, but to purchase properties whose income provided money for maintenance. The bridge was in fact started as far back as 1190. Built from volcanic stone quarried from Northernhay, near the castle, it had 18 arches and a chapel at each end, and was probably the third stone bridge to be completed in England, the first being London Bridge. Because the bridge was narrow, there were recesses over each pier for pedestrians to wait, while a cart or animals crossed. Indeed, farmers would have driven herds of cattle across the bridge to market. As was common at this time, there were houses built over the bridge - they can be clearly seen in the print on the right. A church dedicated to St Edmund's was built over two of its arches at the eastern end, and one to St Thomas at the western end.
When the road system around the west side of Exeter was remodelled in the 1960s and 1970s, the ancient street that ran from the medieval Exe Bridge to the the site of the West Gate, was dug up and some houses were removed. St Edmund's Church had been extensively remodelled in 1832 and the roadway widened in 1854. The contractors discovered the remains of eight arches at the eastern end of the old medieval bridge. Archeologists were called in and it was excavated, the Victorian tower of St Edmunds saved, and both opened to the public in the middle of a busy road system. It is now the oldest surviving medieval stone bridge in England.
In the 18th century, the western half of the medieval bridge crossing the main river was demolished and replaced by a new bridge 25 feet wide, on a different angle, and opened in 1778, along with a new approach from the city, down New Bridge Street. The new line and entrance to the city made a much easier route into the centre, especially for pack-animals and heavily laden carts and coaches. Work had started in 1770 to build the new, three arched bridge, but when work was commencing at a good pace, storms in March 1774 and January 1775 caused great torrents on the Exe which swept the partly built structure away. Once the stones had been retrieved, a new foundation stone was laid on 15th July 1776, by Chancellor Nutcombe. By 1778 the bridge was completed at a cost of £30,000 and opened. The first traffic across was a funeral cortège. In 1811 measures were taken to protect the bridge from the ravages of flooding. The Georgian bridge lasted until 1903 when a tempory wooden footbridge was constructed and the old bridge demolished to make way for a new steel and cast iron bridge.
In 1905 a new, stronger and flatter cast-iron and steel bridge was completed and opened on 29th March 1905 by the Mayor, Councillor C Perry. The opening was attended by a large crowd, with some climbing onto roofs to view the ceremony. A rope was stretched across the roadway which was cut by the Mayor.
As the new bridge was to be on the same site as the old Georgian bridge, a temporary wooden footbridge was constructed on the southern side. Then during 1903/4 the old bridge was demolished. The new bridge was designed by Sir John Wolfe Barry, and cost £25,000. The bridge was based on what is known as the 'three hinged arch', which for the time gave the flattest bridge then in existence in the country. It weighed a total of 430 tons with a 110 ton parapet. The construction was designed to withstand expansion and contraction caused by fluctuating temperature. An extended tram system was installed to St Thomas with a new line to Alphington, following in 1906. This bridge lasted for some 70 years, when, after the floods of 1960 twice covered St Thomas on the west bank, it was decided to replace it as the structure tended to hold high water back and increase the chance of flooding. This bridge had elegant lamps to light the way - when the bridge was demolished, two were moved to the quay and now mark the opposite sides of the river, where Butt's Ferry operates.
In 1969 the new north bridge was completed, and the south bridge in 1972, allowing the 1905 bridge to be demolished. These twin bridges are strictly functional, built out of concrete and forming, between them, a large roundabout system, that at times, seems to be permanently jammed. The piers have been designed to aid the flow of water during flood and the banks of the Exe have been concreted, also to aid water flow. There is no trace of the Georgian or 1905 bridge left. Many houses and businesses have also been demolished around the bridges, opening up the area, with grassy banks. Unfortunately, on the eastern bank, by the northern bridge is one of Exeter's ugliest and most insensitive buildings, Renslade House.

From the 1999 constitution to the exit of Norway and Chavez
Why would Norway maintain an embassy in a country that has become economically irrelevant and which does not even bother having a residing president? Colombia next door is booming, is politically relevant and offers continuously improved security.
There is one culprit for all that: Venezuela may have a new Constitution since 1999 but for all practical purposes it is not applied, or applied at convenience while all real power has been vested in the army which has gained more power than in an outright dictatorship without ever bothering to make a coup.
Thus Venezuela, courtesy to a deficient Constitution and a corrupt personnel, has become a "democracy" where people vote for a status quo that includes the country having become a major narco state controlled by the military. No law abiding country such as Norway, which ranks as the 7th least corrupt country in the world, will have anything to do with Venezuela which now ranks as the 9th most corrupt country in the planet. If we read the words of the general comptroller we know we may still become the most corrupt country. According to her, and "independent" voice previewed in the 1999 Constitution, that perception of Transparency International is based on lies because they only pay attention to anti Chavez media. Naughty, naughty! Apparently she is not aware of what happens in Venezuelan ports or that the only people in Venezuela pursued for corruption are from the opposition, just to mention two major items. Another flaunted and failed constitutional prerogative.
The general comptroller Adelina Gonzalez is not the only "bad people" around, she is not even legal as the National Assembly has decided not to name a legal comptroller and she is just an acting one. More bad people, violating a bad Constitution.... At this point we have to face the harsh reality that the 1999 one has been all along a fraud.
The biggest constitutional violator has been Chavez of course, but this past two weeks he has made his case worse. His yet unexplained unaccounted absence in Cuba where for all practical purpose may mean he is finally croaking allows us once again to see how irrelevant the Constitution is, and was written as we are forced to read in details such painfully contradictory articles as the now infamous 233. But I will not go into the mess that a Chavez death before January 10 would leave us. How the actual presidency is managed these days is more interesting.
Since Chavez needs Maduro as the foreign minister as he is the one in charge of all shady deals with ALBA et al., that one has retained that post when he became vice-president. But he should not have because the very idea of a vice president in 1999 was that the president absence for whatever reason was supplied automatically by the veep. When Chavez had to leave last week in the middle of night on a stretcher (?) for Cuba Maduro was in charge. But he had to travel later to a UNASUR meeting. So what did they do? They created the figure of temporary vice president which exists nowhere in the constitution and placed one of the most faithful and lackluster minister to it to make sure that the newly appointed vice president would not get any ideas..... Now there is an unavoidable summit of MERCOSUR and it looks that not even Maduro is going to go.
In short you can see that not only the constitution of Venezuela is of no better use than bathroom paper but in addition its non application is also directly responsible of the current degradation of the country, morally and materially. I think that even in times of Gomez and Perez Jimenez the fake constitutions then received more respect that then one of 1999 is receiving at the hands of the thugs and thugettes in charge.

This is an anti Chavez blog, with 95% anti Chavez readers that have made up their minds over fourteen years and thus trying to prove us wrong is considered a troll. Still, you are welcome as a chavista to post, in particular if you want to explain us coherently as to why chavismo does this or that. Though I am not holding my breath.
Of course insults and put downs are frowned upon and I will be sole judge on whether to publish them.

Hey I was just wondering after
Doing some reading alot of people take DPol
With recycle (PCT)
This sounds stupid but is D Pol like a PH?
Is liv support needed during cycle? And a PCT needed after the cycle? Such as recycle?
Can you run DPol, cell tech & a Pre workout for a cycle?
Also is it possible to Run D-Pol for 8 weeks?

I don't believe he was hired to kill anyone, I think he just a serial killer and wants the attention or he wouldn't have said his media was there. He first said he was on his way from DC and stopped in Anderson, and I think that is what happened. You can't believe a crazie like him. I hope the investigators don't hung up on that statement and get the drip going in the vein ASAP! Had to get that off my chest. My heart is with the family of both of these young ladies and especially their little children.

Social Gives Operation Blankets Of Love New Ride Thanks to Toyota
If you have started a charity, nonprofit organization or movement that is hotter than a firecracker, do not assume it will explode online via Social Media. It's a lot of work, a lot of trial and error, but like a Tupperware party, you almost have to go door-to-door to get new and old friends to get involved.
Operation Blankets of Love (OBOL) Founder Eileen Smulson started OBOL after rescuing a mixed terrier, Ginger, from a shelter that had found the mutt wondering on the freeway. "I've never owned a dog, but I discovered that when I picked up Ginger, I saw how shelters needed blankets to keep pets warm and comfortable.", said Smulson. "I also imagined how much more appealing for adoption animals would be on a blanket, too. So we started collecting supplies, blankets and never looked back."
Shelter calls for supplies, however, have quadrupled over the years, and with only one van, some calls go unanswered for days.
So OBOL decided it want to find a company or car dealer to donate a vehicle. They found a contest. Enter Toyota, who has launched a promotion and car giveaway contest, "Toyota 100 Cars for Good Giveaway on Facebook".
Even though this is the second year in the works, launching it on the ever-changing Facebook (FB) platform can be a nightmare if you do not pay attention to details. Facebook, the newest IPO that changes applications, restrictions, layouts and navigation more often than most social networks, sometimes scare FB users when forced to click on new FB applications.
"One hundred cars for 100 non-profit organizations in 100 days." Sounds easy enough, and a simple formula to follow, according to Toyota Motor Sales. But what Toyota did not see coming is how little people really know where to go, how to use and when to use Facebook applications. Anything more than one or two clicks and unique visitors disappear.

Application | Notes |
WB | WB: 1/500 - 1/2000. Predicted molecular weight: 469 kDa. |
- FunctionSerine/threonine-protein kinase that acts as a molecular sensor for DNA damage. Involved in DNA nonhomologous end joining (NHEJ) required for double-strand break (DSB) repair and V(D)J recombination. Must be bound to DNA to express its catalytic properties. Promotes processing of hairpin DNA structures in V(D)J recombination by activation of the hairpin endonuclease artemis (DCLRE1C). The assembly of the DNA-PK complex at DNA ends is also required for the NHEJ ligation step. Required to protect and align broken ends of DNA. May also act as a scaffold protein to aid the localization of DNA repair proteins to the site of damage. Found at the ends of chromosomes, suggesting a further role in the maintenance of telomeric stability and the prevention of chromosomal end fusion. Also involved in modulation of transcription. Recognizes the substrate consensus sequence [ST]-Q. Phosphorylates 'Ser-139' of histone variant H2AX/H2AFX, thereby regulating DNA damage response mechanism. Phosphorylates DCLRE1C, c-Abl/ABL1, histone H1, HSPCA, c-jun/JUN, p53/TP53, PARP1, POU2F1, DHX9, SRF, XRCC1, XRCC1, XRCC4, XRCC5, XRCC6, WRN, MYC and RFA2. Can phosphorylate C1D not only in the presence of linear DNA but also in the presence of supercoiled DNA. Ability to phosphorylate p53/TP53 in the presence of supercoiled DNA is dependent on C1D.
- Sequence similaritiesBelongs to the PI3/PI4-kinase family.
Contains 1 FAT domain.
Contains 1 FATC domain.
Contains 2 HEAT repeats.
Contains 1 PI3K/PI4K domain.
Contains 3 TPR repeats. - Post-translational
modificationsPhosphorylated upon DNA damage, probably by ATM or ATR. Autophosphorylated on Thr-2609, Thr-2638 and Thr-2647. Thr-2609 is a DNA damage-inducible phosphorylation site (inducible with ionizing radiation, IR). Autophosphorylation induces a conformational change that leads to remodeling of the DNA-PK complex, requisite for efficient end processing and DNA repair.

Luke Bryan
Luke Bryan
Singer and songwriter Luke Bryan comes by his country influences naturally: he grew up in Leesburg, Georgia, a small town 100 miles from the Alabama border where his father grew peanuts and sold fertilizer for a living. Bryan helped his family work the farm when he was young, but in his early teens he developed a passion for country music, picking up his influences from his parents' record collection, listening to the likes of George Strait, Conway Twitty, Ronnie Milsap, Alan Jackson, and Merle Haggard. When he was 14, his folks bought him his first guitar, and a year later his playing and singing were strong enough that he started sitting in with local bands at a club featuring live country music. At 16, Bryan starting writing songs with the help of a pair of local tunesmiths who had enjoyed some success in Nashville; he planned to head to Music City to try his luck after graduating from high school until his brother died in an auto accident. Wanting to offer emotional support to his family, Bryan opted to attend Georgia Southern University instead, though he didn't give up music. He continued writing songs, formed a band, and was playing gigs on campus or at nearby watering holes most weekends while pursuing his studies. He recorded a self-released album, which he sold at shows during this period, but was reluctant to take the plunge and devote himself to music full-time until he returned home to work in the family business after receiving his degree. Bryan's dad, confident of his son's talent, made him an offer: he could either move to Nashville or be fired.

text: >Brogden was a serial sexual harasser who did it just once, or a >few times, too many. David we don't know this. I've suffered the allegations of Sexual harassment too. They are published (or were) on the Internet. (I have archives at any rate.) It was alleged that I had forced an actress to have sex with me during my first feature film. You know the "Director forces Actor to have sex" line. It put the most amazing pressure on my wife because the intent of the rumor was to hurt her, through me. It got to the point we were waiting for the police to knock on the door and interrogate me - something I'm not unfamiliar with in relation to false and frivolous or vindictive allegations. About a week after the peak of the rumor and Tall Poppyism that was circulating and affecting the entire reach of all my family and friends and work colleagues, my wife discovered she was pregnant. My wife was also an actress in the film. So the rumor was quashed very quickly and we never found out who started it, or who the alleged victim was. So am I a sexual predator? A pervert? A Rapist? Just because someone published something on a web site? Look at the recent CEO's Conference and the Media all taken for a ride by the hoax that George Bush Senior was coming to town. A web site set up by the protestors. Just proves how easily everyone can be lead today, to believe anything someone tells them. Big Brother is alive and well and telling us every day that He is looking out for us and He is protecting us and He is making new laws for our benefit. The reality is, it's far from the truth. >What the Telegraph was nowhere near as despicable as the SMH's >hatchet job on the Red Cross a few weeks ago. Well, I have to admit, the Red Cross isn't exactly doing the right thing. Some of the people in power there really need to get off the donation based enormous salaries and get real. Hosting a dinner for donators, paid by the donations of the donators is a farce. I think that's despicable and the SMH did a great job revealing it. If the Heads of the Red Cross took their own salaries, also paid for by the Donators, and use that money to host a dinner, at least it's not coming directly out of the donation pool. But they didn't. >Brogden didn't necessarily get what he deserved, but in a >position such as his he should learn to behave. Simple really. But you don't know the circumstances. Gosh, I spent last month kissing and getting all physical with a dozen girls. Does that mean I'm cheating on my wife or sexually harassing them? Hardly - my wife was directing the actions so we could find the right feel for the scene itself. But someone who "observed" this might decide I was a pervert or something alike this, especially in this day and age. >He stuffed up and the when he got caught he didn't cope. Well it's all nice to accuse someone of something, but isn't it our obligation as humans in our society to assist those who might be doing the wrong thing to understand the wrong and help them make amends? Or change? Publishing a series of rumors and calling them fact doesn't make them facts and it doesn't help the problem. Did the Telegraph go to Brogden FIRST and ask him about the events and get his side? No. But in the case of the SMH and the Red Cross, the SMH went to the Red Cross to get a statement before running the story. Lets get real. Lets not just accuse people and publish details and kill them, then spend our lives in remorse for making a mistake. Remember, in the UK last month an Australian Man was murdered because someone mistakenly identified him as a peadophile against a published photo. Did anyone bother to approach him - or the authorites - and have any kind of due diligence done to ensure they had the right person - no. Near enough is good enough. Hitler's rules - shoot first, and if it still moves afterwards, asking a few questions then finish it off. I'm sorry, we claim Australia to be an open, free and lucky society, but today, the more I look, the more I find our freedoms less free that those the country claims are terrorists. At least the Terrorists are free in their own countries. We're not even free to go to the Opera House and take photos any more, or go into a Court House without having to be just about stripped naked. No, "Our way of life will not change because of terrorists" is another of those Big Brother lines pushed to make us all feel we're good. And now they want bag searches on Trains. <sigh> Where is the "no change" ?? >End of story. > >David >--- Deus Ex Machina <vicc at cia.com.au> wrote: > > > Adam Todd [link at todd.inoz.com] wrote: > > > > > > > > > Running behind on the schedule today, but sad to see > > recently former > > > Opposition Leader John Brogden attempt to take his life last > > night. > > > > > > I've had a few conversations with Mr. Brogden over the last > > few years, all > > > somewhat positive, even if there were no outcomes, but then > > opposition > > > isn't easy anyway. > > > > > > I'll bet however, that Mr. Brogden doesn't end up spending > > 21 days in a > > > Psychiatric Hospital for the attempt, > > > > you could be wrong. > > > > its a classic case of tearing public figure by the media. the > > telegraph > > headlines are absolute guilty guilty guilty. they crucified > > brogden and > > are as responsible as if they held the razor blade themselves. > > > > just the usual tall popy syndrome by the press. > > > > Vic > > > > _______________________________________________ > > Link mailing list > > Link at mailman.anu.edu.au > > http://mailman.anu.edu.au/mailman/listinfo/link > > > > >Send instant messages to your online friends http://au.messenger.yahoo.com

Here's the rundown for this project:
Basically, the idea is to simulate the BBWAA HoF elections since 1979 and see how we come out compared to them. Why 1979? Because that was the first year that featured the 5% rule to drop candidates. Over the years, that rule has seen a number of seemingly qualified or at least very debatable candidates dropped, so this will give us a chance to at least pretend to fix some of those oversights.
This will operate just like the BBWAA elections. Voters can vote from 0-10 candidates - I've even included a "None of the Above" option for voters who wish to pull a Paul Ladewski and submit a blank ballot (thereby counting against every other vote). 75% support will elect a candidate, less than 5% support will cause the candidate to be dropped and shift hope to the imaginary BBF Veteran's Committee. Candidates can only stay on the ballot for 15 years; thus for example, 1979 will be the only election that will feature Enos Slaughter because it was his 15th year on the ballot. New candidates will be added each year as they become eligible, but they will comport to the actual list that was supplied to the BBWAA in the given year (with one exception, being when the steering committee reintroduced some dropped players in various elections in the past 25 years).
Also, because I want this to start out mirroring the template that the BBWAA had to work with in 1979, only the players that were on the list for the BBWAA in 1979 will be on the list here. Thus I will not go back and add some overlooked names, such as Larry Doby, that would have been eligible in 1979 but who the steering committee did not include on the eligibility list. However, in subsequent years I expect divergence with the BBWAA's eligibility list as we'll have different players elected, different players getting more than 5% and remaining on the ballot, and different players dropped.
Also, please feel free when you submit your ballot to stump for and/or against players. This is meant to be a discussion thread as much as a voting thread.
IMPORTANT: There is some concern about voters defrauding this process by voting with multiple screen names. First, please don't as there is really no point and it takes the fun out of this which is to see how we come out, more than it being a heated competition to get your player elected. Nevertheless, to take precaution against the possibility of a voter abusing the process, votes will be made public, so if we see unfamiliar screen names casting similar ballots, we'll see cause for concern, and if the concern proves to be founded, some form of punitive action could follow. So basically, ONE PERSON = ONE BALLOT. Anything else is really just moronic and defeats the purpose.
Elections will last two weeks and at the first post of each election I will provide a little guide about the election. If you have any suggestions of information you would like to be included in this guide, please let me know and I will likely oblige provided it does not take too much time to do so. Future guides will show some voting history in addition to the information that the guide below shows.
So without further adieu...
1979 Election Guide
The 53 candidates features players who retired between 1959 and 1973 (future elections will likely have much fewer candidates). There are a lot of names here, so I encourage you to look closely before voting as you might overlook someone you intended to vote for.

Grand Coteau Water System customers are asked to boil their water effective immediately. The system experienced a line break which caused a loss in pressure in the distribution system.
Because of the problems the water produced is of questionable microbiological quality.
It is recommended that all consumers disinfect their water before consuming it, using it for brushing teeth or rinsing foods.
Before use, boil water for one full minute in a clean container.
The boil advisory will be rescinded once water samples collected from the water supply have shown the water to be safe.

Included: Xio, Kiki, and Haxlia and mentions of Luca.
After agreeing to go on a date with Kiki I went back to my room. I admit I was tired…more so then I let on to be. So tossing my shirt on a nearby chair in my room and went back to sleep with my hair resting in all directions on the bed. To be fair, I honestly just wanted to sleep and even though I slept with her the night before, I am the type of guy who after a big event…I need at least a good 12 goddamn hours to rest. Even when there was a hit on someone, I needed my rest and I made sure to kill my prey as soon as possible to get my money's worth.
While I slept it was peaceful though I did loose track of time. Possibly an hour or so? It didn't matter, until I felt the strong rays of light hitting my face from the curtains being open. I groaned from that horrible feeling and then to make matters worse I felt jumping on my bed.
"Seriously Xio you're still sleeping?" Kiki questioned as she jumped up and down to wake me up. "Come on!"
"Alright already woman!" I told her rolling over and sitting up with a yawn. I scratched my chest and she put her finger to her lips as I tried to be more alert for my new apparent 'girlfriend.'
"Are you going out like that?"
I scowled at her as pushed back my long black hair behind me. "Why? What's wrong with it?" Grabbing a the tank top from my jacket that I usually wear.
"Oh nothing…."
"Liar…" I growled at her with eyes narrowing.
"Ok fine, I just think you are a few seasons behind, that was last years look and you need a new outfit. This one just screams old man!" She pointed out and I pushed her hand away as she pointed.
"Wow, way to insult me Kiki!" I got up past her and slipped on my jacket. "You know keep that up and you might just loose me."
"I don't think that would happen because there new style for bad boys like you is bare chest jackets and they are on sale at the mall."
My ears perked up, as I quickly turned to her a bit surprised as she gave me that sly smile of hers. "I'm listening…go on…"
"I thought you would! Let's still grab dinner but lets go get you a new outfit and I can help you with it since I'm very up to date with fashion. Also wear you're hair down, I think it adds to your sexiness."
"Alright fine, if that's what you want to do momma dearest!" I scoffed at her with a smile.
-At the Mall Later that Evening-
I sat in a chair as I let Kiki pick out my clothes because every time I picked something she would decline it and say she had a better idea. Even the time I went shopping with Haxlia, it wasn't this much pressure. Personality speaking I never stayed in a committed relationship that long because 1. I got bored quickly, 2. The sex became very dull, and 3. Just one woman can't tame me; I always had a lingering eye.
But damn it, this was a little much even for me letting her pick a damn outfit for me. Even while she was away I was hit on by the female gijinkas there as I awaited Kiki.
"Come now," The female Jolteon said rubbing her finger in a circle on my chest, "It will just take a few minutes and I know a great place in the back we can go."
Oh how tempted I was to take her up on that offer, the only thing was, she wasn't turning me on which was a real drag. "Sorry dear, but I have no interest in such an act with you." Though I will admit I did want to bite her neck and enjoy a sweet little taste of her blood and steal some of her electricity.
"Ahhhh but why not?" She whined. "I am far better looking and my rack if far bigger then that little girl's that you came in with. She can't be your girlfriend, she's too fragile looking."
Fragile looking? Instantly I pushed the hag off my lap and she hit the floor as I got up and passed her. "I won't let a wench like you insult her like that, besides I don't go for cougars. You're in late 30s, yes?"
The woman frowned and pushed herself up as she quickly walked away. Scratching my head I heard Kiki call my name from behind. I turned to her.
"Alright I got everything ready for you in a dressing room. A store associate help me put it together. I have about 10 different outfits for you!" She smiled.
"Wait 10?" I stared at her. "Why so damn many? Tch you woman and your clothes."
"Gosh why are you always so serious looking Xio? Lighten up a bit! Yes 10 just to choose from. It's like mix-n-match!" She nodded grabbing my hand and pulling me towards the dressing room. "You can finalize what you want once you try everything on."
With that said she pushed me into the changing room and slammed the door behind me. Geez, she's kinda pushy and very fussy. First she says my clothes are out of date, and then she has me wear my hair down, and now picking out all my clothes? Seriously I don't care for bitches who control me nor shall they. If she keeps this up, I'll make it very difficult for the broad.
Some of the outfits seemed reasonable but many of them were out rageous and not my style. One had fur all the way around the neck like a boa and the pants were so strangly cut. That cut at the ankles and showed a gay like style. Kiki liked it, I rolled my eyes and changed. Her sense of fashion was almost as bad as Haxlia's when it came to men's clothes. One after the other I was even more disturbed at some of the outfits she gave me. I hated every single of them.
"Just take all the godforsaken outfits away…" I told her waving trying to keep my cool.
"You know you could just smile once for a change." Kiki stated.
I stopped and turned around at her. "So let me guess, you gave me these outfits to tease me and have a good laugh?"
"Of course not!" She gasped. I glared at her again and she quickly shrugged, "Honest! I just wanted to turn that frown upside down. Or at least give me a genuine smile." She said poking my cheeks up.
"Whatever…" I muttered entering the dressing room.
"I'll see if there is anything else I can get for you."
"Yeah you do that…"
I began taking off this ridiculous out that Kiki gave me. I tossed it on a chair on the chair next to me. I couldn't believe what she seriously had picked out for me. I shook my head and ran my fingers through my long hair, as I stood there shirtless. I turned abit and undid the front of my pants when I noticed the dressing room opening up.
The room door was thrown straight open with a tall woman. "Well Hello Fluf-.....Oh shit!!" I stood there staring at Haxlia, of all gijinkas, looking at me. I was speechless and shocked as my cheek began to twitch. Haxlia was deep red as she slowly closed the door from embarrassment.
I zipped up pants and opened the door back up as I quickly grabbed her wrist before she could escape. "What the hell was that about Haxlia?"
"I um....Blonde moment!! I thought you were Luca!" What the hell? She thought I was the dog?
I let go of her wrist. "Luca? How could you mix me up for the damn mutt? He has blue hair, smells, has a big mouth that can be heard anywhere, large tongue and big ears?"
She pointed to my feet. "I was looking at the bottom of the rooms."
"I don't by that woman. My hair is long and black and his is shorter and blue."
"Well I still didn't recognize you with your hair down, even though we did have that one intimate night together." She laughed slightly.
I looked her up and down. "Why are you with him anyway?"
Her eyes narrowed, "We are on a date."
I crossed my arms and chuckled. "Date?" That's when a cute girl walked by at my shirtless top and hair down self stood with Haxlia outside the dressing room, clearly my muscles were attractive to her inferior being.
"Yes." She replied.
I lifted an eyebrow as I looked at her, "Let's just cut the bullshit, are you going out?"
"What does it mean to you?" She smirked. I seriously hate it when women beat around the bush. They only should take a beating on the bush if you know what I mean.
I grinned. "I'll take that as a yes Hax..."
"And if we are? I was told you're dating Kiki."
I'll play your game. I leaned over towards her, "What does it mean to you?"
She put her finger against my chest and became serious. "Because if you do something bad to that sweet little girl, I'mma pop your nuts open with my heels.."
"Pfft, nothing is going to happen...so don't threaten me with your empty threats because there is no way in hell you can hurt me." Last time I recall I beat her in our little game of chase.
"I just wanted to make my point clear. That girl is too sweet to be a sex toy."
"Again you are assuming she is that to me, your blondeness is showing. Might want to make sure you have your facts straight Barbie before you assume, you make an ass out of yourself and right now you look like one!"
I felt a small whack with her tail, "Anyways, I gotta go find my puppy."
I grabbed my tank top and started putting it on. "Just wait...Kiki has got to be around here somewhere..."
"Hmm.." She was looking around for Luca as where I was looking for Kiki, "You know since we are both here on dates, why not make it a double date?"
"Double date?" I stopped in my tracks and looked at her. "You're kidding right?"
"NO!!! I think it's a brilliant idea! Luca is getting a new outfit, I already picked something out! You are getting something new and possibly Kiki is too, so why not? It might be fun."
I frowned at her with a sweat drop moment, "You realize that is a dumb idea?"
"Why's that smartass?" She glared.
"Oh I don't know Haxlia, maybe the part you forgot that we slept together and had sex and Kiki doesn't know that. Does that ring a bell?" Her eyes widen as she stared at me a good moment. Then she nodded, "Yup that's stupid, what the hell was I thinking."
"Glad you agree I sighed." Walking pass her.
"That's why it's our dirty little secret!" She announced loudly as I froze in my spot again. "Double date it is! I'll meet you and Kiki at the fountain in this mall around 8:30ish which gives us 30 minutes…"
"….okay so don't be shy I am good with secrets…"
"Hey!" Is she listening?
"…See you in a bit! Buh byes!" She quickly dashed off.
"Damn woman…" She was off in a flash because obviously she didn't want to argue with me. However, to be honest, I think she was being noisier then anything. I bet she just wanted to see how things were going for Kiki and me.
That's when I heard a slight scream from a nearby department, "Kiki?"
"Seriously what's a small fry like you doing in a store like this?" Said a beautiful Goldeen gijinka.
"Like OMG you don't even hardly have any breasts. You're what, ant hills at most?" Questioned the Nidorina gijinka.
"I'm sorry that I bumped into you. I didn't mean it." Kiki stated a bit flustered.
"Well a small fry like you has no business being in a store like this." A Delcatty told Kiki stepping closer. "Only the finest of woman who have the beauty deserve to be here. Not some trashy wanna be. I mean seriously I bet you are dating some half ass bimbo from the country who is also lacking in the looks department as you are Kirlia."
Kiki's gaze was on the floor as she was looking for words to come back with. It appeared she was unable to stick up for herself with the three beauties before her.
"She's so pathetic that I can't even imagine the idiot dating her…"She slapped Kiki's hands knocking out the clothing she was holding. The Nidorina laughed, "Poor things, opps my bad! I got your idiot of boyfriends clothes dirty."
"Please stop." Kiki asked politely stepping back.
"What are you going to do about it pipsqueak? Huh?" The Delcatty pushed Kiki again, causing her to almost fall over.
"Ah…" Kiki mumbled.
"Come on where's your so called lover-boy?" The Goldeen mocked her again.
Leaning up against a nearby manikin I finally announced my presence. "Right here."
All three woman turned their heads and gasped as I made my way towards Kiki. I bent over and picked up the outfit she has picked out and handed it to her as I wrapped my arm around her. "I suppose I am what you imagine right?" I coldly asked the Delcatty girl.
She shook her head side to side fast, "No not at all…you're…well handsome.." She blushed.
"Too bad I can't say the same for you three," I gently lifted Kiki's chin and kissed her right in front of the three woman. I let my tongue do the talking as the three woman watched me French kiss my girlfriend. "Shall we go my dear?" Kiki nodded and with that, I held my hand against her back and passed the three women who harassed her.
Kiki didn't say anything as we walked away but I felt her lean close to my side as we made our way back to the dressing rooms.
"Are you okay now?" I asked stepping in front of her.
"Yes, I'll be fine, their words hurt a little." She lowered her head.
I sighed and looked the other direction. Yes her boobs were smaller then most woman, she obviously wasn't the normal type of girl I would date either because I like scandalous girls who wore provocative clothing and had that confident look to them. Kiki was by far the opposite of the normal girl I would date. I suppose to be fair the comparison was for me, I typically would date the captain of the cheer team instead of the flute player in the school band. That might be a hard comparison but it was the truth. Growing up, I always stuck with the hot and pretty ones because I was, the jock and the popular kid, though looking back now, that popularity may have been due to being our village's prince. This was something she needn't know.
"Kiki, regardless of what they say, don't let it get to you. You have your own special qualities that make you stunning. Seriously if you let three ugly bitches like them bring you down, then fuck."
"Are you complimenting me?" She asked a bit confused.
"I suppose I am…" I don't a girlfriend with a big head. "Is it helping?"
"Sort of."
"Here.." I gently kissed her once again on the cheek, "You are beautiful."
She smiled at me. "T-thank you! It really means a lot hearing it from you." I nodded.
"Oh by the way," I told her rubbing my under my nose, "I ran into Haxlia and she and Luca want to meet us at the fountain in about 30 minutes. But we don't have too if you don't want too…"
Come on Kiki say no, please say no. I don't want a double date and I believe you will object on our one on one time.
"OH MY GOSH A DOUBLE DATE?!?!" She screeched, "LETS DO IT!!!"
DAMN IT!!!! Why the fuck would she agree to this? Dipshit!! Really she's up for a double date!.
"What's wrong Xio? You look dumbfounded?" Kiki asked looking at me.
I blinked and shook my head, "I'm just dandy!" And a bit annoyed, angry, ah fuck I am pissed. I didn't want to do this double date business.
"Here you go by the way, it's the out fit I picked for you. I think this one is more to your liking." Kiki smiled handing some new outfit. "Go try them on and I will tell you what I think. If you like them, we can they get going and meet up with Haxlia and Luca."
"That sounds lovely…" SO FUCKING LOVELY! I was biting my lip to keep my anger from being seen as I scowled going into the dressing room. At least I hope this last outfit would work out for me and be fitting.
HAHA yes about time someone posts and it has to be Xio! Alright I leave it to someone else to follow up!!
Oh Art I will leave you with describing his new outfit because I know you were creating it!! I love the top so I will let you surprise everyone!! ;)
Hope you enjoyed!

Carpets and rugs take a lot of wear and tear over time. Whether its children, pets or visitors – your carpet captures all the dirt tracked into the house day after day, year after year. And that doesn't even take into account those accidents – spilled wine, un-house broken pets and other spills and stains that come along.
Even if you vacuum your carpet regularly there is still dirt that can get trapped in the carpet; dust, mites, and even pet dander, so it's important to consider having your carpets cleaned once a year.
Professional Carpet Cleaner Chris Stone says, "The biggest misconception that I have run across is that homeowners say that they should wait as long as possible to get your carpets cleaned the first time. The reason that kind of myth came into play is unfortunately there are a lot of bad carpet cleaners that leave the carpets really wet and it leaves actually soap residue in the carpets. When you leave soap residue in carpets, it will get dirtier faster".
Chris continues saying,"If you wait a long time to get them cleaned, basically the soil acts like sand paper on the fibers and as you walk on it you are literally wearing down the fibers. So you want to get your carpets cleaned between every 12-18 months, basically once a year and that will keep your carpets looking new for a long time."
Angie Hicks acknowledges, "One common complaint we've heard over the years when it comes to carpet cleaning companies is suggesting a price that just seems too low to be true. What happens is they get there and the consumer ends up paying more than they expected."
When hiring a carpet cleaner, you are going to want to know what exactly you are paying for. You'll see a lot of deals out there that you could potentially take advantage of, but you want to know what you are getting for that price. Does it include hallways? Does it include stairways? What size of a room? I think that is one mistake that consumers make. It may say three rooms of carpet, but it doesn't say how big of a room of carpet, so make sure you are reading the fine print.
A professional cleaning will help rid your home of hidden dust and allergens that regular vacuuming can miss. Just as important, it will help preserve carpet fibers and keep colors brighter. But getting this work done sometimes comes at too high a price because of disreputable companies who dangle get-in-the-door prices that don't generally hold up once you let the company inside your home. The two most common tactics:
- Bait and Switch – This is the offer to get your carpets cleaned for 5 to 10 dollars a room. Usually, the homeowner is told their carpet is in really bad shape and the offer didn't include pre-spray, deep cleaning and sometimes even using hot water – all essential to a proper carpet cleaning.
- High-pressure sales – This tactic preys on the homeowner's desire to get the job done right. Homeowners are told there are some spots that need additional cleaning because of how dirty they are, and that without the extra attention, those areas of the floor will stand out and make the floor look bad.
We spoke with Wendie, a homeowner who shared her experience with us. She hired a company from a coupon and thought she was getting a deep clean. However, when the company got there they tried to upsell her for getting a deep clean and pre-spray. He explained none of that was included in the low price on the coupon.
Wendie says, "He wasn't professionally dressed or as professionally dressed as I would expect. No logo on his shirt, you know, he wasn't wearing like a uniform-type thing. The van, when it pulled in, I noticed was a white cargo van. No windows. No writing on the side. No name of the company. Nothing."
"It was awful. You know, he had told me that because my carpets were so dirty that they would need to do a deep cleaning, and that would be extra. And I said, well, I questioned whether that was included in the cleaning. I said normally I thought a cleaning was a deep cleaning. He said no they'd have to do that and that would be extra. I just said well, just go ahead and do a regular cleaning," recalled Wendie.
Wendie continues, "He proceeded to clean the carpets – it was done rather quickly, but sometimes they are done quickly. And then when he was done, he called me and I went upstairs, and when I looked at the carpets, the first thing I said to him was, "These don't look any different. They don't… They look like they're just wet. They don't even look like they've been cleaned." He said, "Oh that's just because it's so dirty." And I said, "Well there should be a little bit of a difference." But he said because I didn't get the deep cleaning that I couldn't expect a better result."
Angie's List tips to avoid getting scammed:
- Insist on a written estimate that details all charges – and read the fine print.
- Don't guess if you don't understand anything on the estimate. Do they charge by the hour or square feet of the room? Are they going to charge you for

Traffic fatalities
2 killed, dozens injured in bus crash near Dallas
Emergency workers extricate victims from a charter bus that crashed into a median in Irving, Texas. Passers-by helped pull out the injured, many of whom had broken bones.

IRVING, Texas — At least two people were killed and more than 40 were hospitalized after a charter bus careened across a highway in northern Texas and flipped onto its side yesterday, drawing a large emergency response as rescue crews struggled to reach victims inside, authorities said.
The Cardinal Coach Line bus was carrying mostly senior citizens when it suddenly weaved across the busy highway, striking two concrete barriers, and toppled over in the center median, witnesses said. The wreck occurred along President George Bush Turnpike in Irving.
"It was pretty bad, people screaming," said Ed Cluck, who stopped after driving by the wreck and seeing smoke. He said he popped the bus' roof hatches and helped six to eight people escape.
"It was just people stacked on top of each other," he said.
The bus, which was carrying about 45 people, was on its way to a casino in Oklahoma, authorities said.
Texas Department of Public Safety Trooper Lonny Haschel confirmed that two people were killed in the accident. Authorities said 41 other people were taken to local hospitals, many of them suffering from broken bones.
The cause of the accident has not been determined, but the National Transportation Safety Board said it was sending investigators to the scene.
Cardinal Coach has reported no accidents in the past two years that resulted in deaths or injuries, according to the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration. A man who answered the phone at the company's offices in Mansfield, just south of Dallas, confirmed that one of its five buses was involved in the crash, but he said he didn't have time to talk because he was trying to get information about the crash.
The bus company has been beset with financial problems since its founding in 2007, according to court records. The Internal Revenue Service placed a lien on Cardinal Coach's property in December for nearly $60,000 in unpaid business taxes, and the owners, Matt and Teresa Biran of Mansfield, filed for bankruptcy in December 2008.
George Barnes, the attorney who handled the couple's bankruptcy, said the proceeding was discharged three months later and wasn't related to any issues with the bus company, other than it wasn't generating enough income.
