Samhain: A Time for Reflection and Remembrance
Samhain, pronounced sow-ain or so-veen and literally meaning "Summer's End," , is a harvest festival from Celtic origin, occuring on October 31, that honors one's ancestors and encourages a look ahead to the upcoming year. For many witches, this is the Pagan new year and a relatively solemn occasion. Other Pagans have a similar holiday and call it by various names, such as Halloween, Shadowfest or La Festa Dell' Ombra (Stregheria), Sambain,Samhuinn, All Hallows Eve, and Ancestor Night, among others.
Samhain heralds the time of year when the veil between the mundane world and the spiritual world is thinnest, making Samhain night an ideal time for ancestor worship and communication, as well as divination in general. Now is the best time to use that crystal ball, scrying mirror, scrying bowl, Tarot cards, runes, pendulum, or all of the above.
The Goddess as Crone, often in the guise of Cerridwen, Hekate, or the Cailleach, rules this Sabbat: Samhain is Her special night.
Herbs associated with Samhain include mugwort, the Queen of Samhain herbs, as well as acorn or oak, apple, Dittany of Crete, hazel, mullein, nightshade, sage, and wormwood.
Stones associated with Samhain include amber, black obsidian, hematite, onyx, and smoky quartz.
Foods associated with this sabbat include pumpkins, other winter squashes, apples, pomegranates, nuts, apple cider, and red wine.
Samhain is an ideal time of magickal spells of manifestation, of new beginnings (especially if the moon is new or waxing), or banishings (if the moon happens to be waning). This sabbat is the perfect time to create a Witch's Ladder as a protection spell.
Other activities for Samhain include carving a jack o'lantern, bobbing for apples (originally a type of divination), setting up an altar or shrine for your ancestors, and setting out a mute or dumb supper for loved ones who have passed on during the year.
How do you celebrate Samhain? Feel free to share your thoughts in the comments section. Blessed Be!

Jamiel Shaw Sr.'s Son was Murdered By an Illegal Alien (Dreamer & DACA Recipient) Pedro Espinoza from Mexico in 2008 … Do Black Lives Really Matter, or Does It Matter Only If You are Shot By a White Person or White Police Man?
Jamiel Shaw Sr. testified in front of a subcommittee Wednesday, chaired by Rep. Ron DeSantis (R-FL). All should watch and take notice of what happened to Mr. Shaw's son, 17 year old Jamiel Shaw II, who was violently gunned down by Pedro Espinoza in 2008. Pedro Espinoza is a member of the 18th Street gang, a DREAMer, a DACA recipient, and a child brought to this country by no fault of his own. Hardly the harmless and innocent people that Obama, Democrats and gutless Republicans have told us what DREAMer's are. Espinoza was convicted and sentenced to death in November 2012.
However, this is greater than just a senseless killing. Below is a must watch VIDEO … Do black lives matter? Well, for Barack Obama, only when it fits his political agenda. If a black person is killed by another black person, and especially an illegal, even a gang banger with multiple arrests, the answer is probably not.
"My son, Jamiel Andre Shaw II, was murdered by a DREAMer, a DACA recipient, a child brought to this country by no fault of his own. My family's peace and freedom was stolen by an illegal alien from Mexico. He was brought here by his illegal alien parents and allowed to grow up as a wild animal.
He continued: "Some people believe that if you are brought over by no fault of your own that it makes you a good person. They want you to believe that DREAM Act kids don't murder. I am here to debunk that myth."
Jurors deliberated for less than 4 hours on May 2, before finding Pedro Espinoza, 23, guilty of 1st degree murder for the 2008 shooting death of 17-yaer-old football star Jamiel Shaw Jr. in Los Angeles. They have suggested that he receive the death penalty, reports NBC Los Angeles.
Federal Court in Pennsylvania Declared President Obama's Executive Actions on Immigration Policy Unconstitutional
U.S. District Court Judge Arthur Schwab has ruled that parts of Barack Obama's executive actions on immigration policy unconstitutional. It's a start, even though any one with any common sense or grasp of the Constitution knows Obama's executive order was Unconstitutional. Although this decision was part of a criminal case, look for this case to make it's way through the federal court system and ultimately to the Supreme Court.
Earlier Tuesday, a federal court in Pennsylvania declared aspects of President Obama's executive actions on immigration policy unconstitutional.
According to the opinion by Judge Arthur Schwab, the president's policy goes "beyond prosecutorial discretion" in that it provides a relatively rigid framework for considering applications for deferred action, thus obviating any meaningful case-by-case determination as prosecutorial discretion requires, and provides substantive rights to applicable individuals. As a consequence, Schwab concluded, the action exceeds the scope of executive authority.
The full opinion can be read HERE.
Judge Arthur Schwab stated that Obama's executive order violated separation of powers.
"President Obama's unilateral legislative action violates the separation of powers provided for in the United States Constitution as well as the Take Care Clause, and therefore, is unconstitutional," Schwab wrote in his 38-page opinion (posted here). "President Obama's November 20, 2014 Executive Action goes beyond prosecutorial discretion because: (a) it provides for a systematic and rigid process by which a broad group of individuals will be treated differently than others based upon arbitrary classifications, rather than case-by-case examination; and (b) it allows undocumented immigrants, who fall within these broad categories, to obtain substantive rights."
The Pittsburgh-based judge rejected a Justice Department legal opinion arguing that Obama's actions fall within the traditional realm of the executive's discretion about which cases to pursue and which to overlook. Schwab, a George W. Bush appointee, also quoted in detail from a series of public statements Obama made in recent years about the limits on his executive authority to make sweeping changes in immigration enforcement.
As Q and A opines, if this case goes to the SCOTUS, will the "ObamaCare is a tax" court manage to actually rule as this judge has, that the executive has unconstitutionally exceeded his power? Who knows anymore at this point. After Justice Roberts bent over backwards for Obamacare, one can only wonder whether the SCOTUS will get this one right.
Rep. Chaffetz (R-UT) Asks HSS Jeh Johnson, "Did the President Change the Law?" and What Happened to the Deportation of the Terrorists" Who Entered the US Illegally
An amazing exchange yesterday between Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-UT) and Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson discussing whether President Barack Obama had the Constitutional authority to change immigration law and what happened to the four terrorists who snuck into the United States illegally. Were they deported? The responses from Johnson were startling, but not unexpected from this corrupt, lawless and lying administration. Jeh Johnson actually had the audacity to call the exert from Obama's speech suspicious. REALLY SIR? The Obama administration might want to look in the mirror. And you wonder why no one can work with Obama or his administration, their word means nothing.
REP. JASON CHAFFETZ (R-Utah): What do you say to someone who believes the president took action to change the law?
JEH JOHNSON, DHS SECRETARY: We do not change the law, we act within the law.
CHAFFETZ: Can you play the clip? This is from Nov. 25. This is the president in Nevada talking about this (VIDEO).
BARACK OBAMA audio clip: But what you're not paying attention to is the fact that I just took an action to change the law.
CHAFFETZ: So you say you didn't change the law, but the president said he changed the law.
JOHNSON: We acted within existing law. We acted within our existing legal authority. Listen, I've been a lawyer 30 years, somebody plays me an eight word excerpt from a larger speech, I know to be suspicious. That was very nice.
CHAFFETZ: I'm going to read it back: "Now you're absolutely right that there have been a significant number of deportations that's true, but what you're not paying attention to is the fact I just took action to change the law, so that's point number one. Point number two: The way the change in the law works…" and he goes on. He's pretty clear and he is the president of the United States. This is why we have a hard time believing that Homeland Security is doing the right thing.
Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah.) grilled Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson over his department's failure to deport four members of a terrorist organization who were captured crossing illegally into the U.S.
During a Tuesday hearing, Chaffetz recalled that Johnson had previously promised four men nabbed crossing the Southern border in early September would be deported. The individuals were thought to have ties to the Kurdistan Workers' Party, an organization designated as a terrorist group by the State Department.
"Did you deport them?" the Utah representative asked Johnson.
"Uh, no. Not at this point," Johnson answered.
"What is the disposition of those four people," Chaffetz pressed.
"Two are detained, the two others were released by the judge — uh, not my preference — they were released by the judge and they fled to Canada and they are seeking asylum in Canada," the homeland secretary responded, before placing blame on an immigration judge for releasing two of the four men.

Barack Obama Just Admitted to Immigration Hecklers that He Shredded the US Constitution … "I Just Took an Action to Change the Law"
While speaking Tuesday in Chicago pandering to Hispanics and discussing his recent executive order regarding amnesty for illegal immigrants, President Barack Obama went off script and actually spoke the truth. Obama stated to the hecklers, "I just took an action to change the law". It was only last week that the White House was defending Obama's Unconstitutional executive amnesty order as making changes within the existing law. Hmm, it sounds like he just admitted that he "took an action to change a law, PERIOD! Obama so wanted to be liked by the crowd and garner their cheers and adulation that he spoke the truth. Too bad he had no Constitutional right to do so. To hell with the separation of powers.
"All right, OK. OK. I understand," Obama told the protesters after letting them go on for some time. "Listen. Hold on, hold on, hold on. Young lady, young lady, don't just — don't just start — don't just start yelling, young ladies. Sir, why don't you sit down, too?
"Listen, you know — here. Can I just say this, all right? I've listened to you. I heard you. I heard you. I heard you. All right? Now I have been respectful, I let you holler. All right? So let me just — nobody is removing you. I have heard you, but you have got to listen to me, too. All right? And I understand you may disagree, I understand you may disagree. But we have got to be able to talk honestly about these issues, all right?
"Now, you're absolutely right that there have been significant numbers of deportations. That's true. But what you are not paying attention to is the fact that I just took an action to change the law."
SNL's Barack Obama Pushes The Schoolhouse Rock Immigraton Bill Down The Capitol Steps … Making His Own Executive Order
What makes good humor is it has to contain some truth. What makes great humor is it is 100% the truth …
Last night SNL opened the show with a skit that was fantastically funny and pathetically sad all at the same time. For all those who are old enough to remember the School House Rocks, 'I'm Just a Bill,' completely understood the biting sarcasm and mockery of the political system. Instead of the way we learned it as kids and the way the US Constitution provides for … "I'm just a bill, yes I'm only a bill, and I'm sitting here on Capitol Hill," Barack Obama decided to change law on his own. The result, SNL's I'm an executive order.
As the immigration bill sings to the young boy explaining how a law is made, Obama tosses the bill down the Capitol Hill steps in lieu of his executive order, "I'm an executive order and I pretty much just happen".
Boy: [After Obama pushes the bill down the Capitol Hill steps] President Obama, what's the big idea, that bill was just trying to become a law.
Obama: I realize that. But you know son there is an even easier way to get things done around here. It's called an executive order.
Executive Order: "I'm an executive order and I pretty much just happen". And that's it.
Boy: Wait a second, don't you have to go through Congress at some point?
Executive Order: Awe, that's adorable. You still think that's how government works. Ha, ha, ha.
Immigration Bill: [After climbing back up the steps] Don't listen to them son. Look at the midterm elections, people clearly don't want this, ahh [Obama pushes the bill down the steps again].
Boy: Mr President, is this Constitutional?
Obama: Of course, Presidents issue executive orders all the time.
Executive Order: That's right. I could do lots of things. I'll create national park or a new holiday.
Obama: Or grant legal status to 5 million undocumented immigrants.
Executive Order: Wait, what!!!
Obama: Yup, that's what you are going to do.
Executive Order: Om my God, I didn't have time to read myself. Whoa!!! OK, go big or go home, huh?
Finally, the first biting political spoof from Saturday Night Live in a while: the Bill from Schoolhouse Rock explains to a student how he becomes a law, only to be violently beat up by Barack Obama and his new best friend, "Executive Order."
Even then, the poor Executive Order still thinks he's used for simple things, like declaring holidays and creating national parks, until Obama informs him that he's going to be used to grant amnesty to 5 million undocumented immigrants. His reaction: "Whoa."
Remember When Emperor Barack Obama Said He Did Not Have the Power to Take Executive Action on Immigration?
Not only does the Emperor have no clothes, he has no credibility and no Constitutional authority …
Remember when Emperor Barack Obama said the following:
- "I take the Constitution very seriously, the biggest problems that we facing right now is George Bush trying to bring more and more power into the Executive branch and not go through Congress at all. And that is what I intend to reverse when I am President of the United States of America."
- "There are enough laws on the books by Congress that are very clear in terms of how we have to enforce our immigration system."
- "For me to simply through executive order ignore those congressional mandates would not conform with my appropriate role as president."
- "With respect to the notion that I can just suspend deportations through executive order, that's just not the case."
- "There are laws on the books that I have to enforce".
- "If in fact I could solve all these problems without passing laws in Congress, then I would do so."
- "This notion that I can change laws unilaterally is just not true".
Really Mr. President? Because last night when you announced your executive order on immigration, you pretty much did a 180 on every single previous remark you have ever made on the issue. So much for the rule of law and the US Constitution. If Barack Obama cared so much about these families and even went so far to cite scripture, why didn't he do it sooner? Just curious, does Obama care about the American legal citizens whose families are about t be affected by this influx? How about all the people who came to the United States legally?
VIDEO Hat Tip: Washington Free Beacon
The president will also announce plans to shift enforcement efforts, ordering federal law enforcement officers to narrow their focus to those illegal immigrants with criminal records, gang affiliations or ties to terrorism.
And Obama will expand the total number of high-tech visas that are available, as well as loosen restrictions so that more would-be entrepreneurs can travel legally to the United States to launch companies.
The president and other Cabinet and senior administration officials plan to "fan out" across the country over the coming weeks in order to promote the executive actions, according to one aide.
The moves are all aimed at "bringing some accountability to our broken immigration system," a senior administration official said Thursday.
The biggest change to the immigration system will be a new program that allows the parents of U.S. citizens and permanent residents to apply for work permits and deferred deportation.
An estimated 4 million parents will be eligible for the initiative. They are people who have been in the United States for at least five years and have no felony convictions but are currently in the country illegally.
Emperor Obama Shreds the US Constitution with Immigration Amnesty Executive Order … Obama Rewards the Breaking of the Rule of Law
Barack Obama: If you like your illegal immigrant, you can keep your illegal immigrant …
So this is the way that Barack Obama starts on his promise of wanting to work with the GOP following the Democrat midterm election butt kicking? Tonight, Barack Obama went there and played with matches. Obama started his speech by saying, "Today our immigration system is broken and everybody knows it." Obama should know it is broken, he helped break it by not enforcing current laws on the books. Tonight, Obama tried to play the emotion and guilt card on Americans saying, let's be honest, tracking down, rounding up and deporting millions of people isn't realistic. Anyone who suggests otherwise isn't being straight with you. It's also not who we are as Americans." One usually does use emotion when they can't stand on the law. Actually, Americans are people who believe in the rule of law and the US Constitution. Obviously, Barack Obama does not.
One has to ask themselves, why now? If this was such an important issue and so vital to America and Latinos, why didn't he do it back in 2009-2010 when Democrats had control of both the House and the Senate? Why didn't he do it in 2012 before his reelection? Why didn't he make this speech and put forth this executive order before the 2014 midterm elections? I think we all know the answer. Sorry to be so cynical, but this president has lost all right to be trusted. Especially when Obama has said over and over gain that he did not have the legal authority to do so. But suddenly … tonight he has the legal authority. So does that mean he had been lying all of the time in the past? Like I said previously, Obama has zero credibility.
Interestingly enough, the ABC, CBS and NBC did not cover Obama's speech.
Full transcript can be read HERE.
OBAMA: First, we'll build on our progress at the border with additional resources for our law enforcement personnel so that they can stem the flow of illegal crossings and speed the return of those who do cross over.
Second, I'll make it easier and faster for high-skilled immigrants, graduates and entrepreneurs to stay and contribute to our economy, as so many business leaders proposed.
Third, we'll take steps to deal responsibly with the millions of undocumented immigrants who already had live in our country.
I want to say more about this third issue, because it generates the most passion and controversy. Even as we are a nation of immigrants, we're also a nation of laws. Undocumented workers broke our immigration laws, and I believe that they must be held accountable, especially those who may be dangerous.
That's why over the past six years deportations of criminals are up 80 percent, and that's why we're going to keep focusing enforcement resources on actual threats to our security. Felons, not families. Criminals, not children. Gang members, not a mom who's working hard to provide for her kids. We'll prioritize, just like law e enforcement does every day.
But even as we focus on deporting criminals, the fact is millions of immigrants in every state, of every race and nationality still live here illegally.
And let's be honest, tracking down, rounding up and deporting millions of people isn't realistic. Anyone who suggests otherwise isn't being straight with you. It's also not who we are as Americans.
It wasn't too long ago when Obama said he wasn't the Emperor of the United States and his job was to execute laws that are passed.
Jon Stewart Slams Barack Obama on Immigration … Didn't Obama Previously Says, 'I'm Not the Emperor of The United States'
Wow, even Comedy Channel's Jon Stewart mocked Barack Obama for his flip-flop on his, "I am not an Emperor," in taking executive action on immigration. In 2013 Obama was telling people who could not change immigration alone as that is not how the US Constitution worked and he was not the Emperor of the United States. As Stewart amusingly opined, "all it took was one bad midterm election" for Obama to go from "I'm not an emperor" to, well, this.
Jon Stewart took a shot at President Obama tonight for promising executive action on immigration over a year after saying he can't because he's not an "emperor."
Stewart found it amusing that "all it took was one bad midterm election" for Obama to go from "I'm not an emperor" to, well, this.
"My job is to execute laws that are passed and Congress right now has not changed what I consider to be a broken immigration system," Obama said. "I'm the president of the United States. I'm not the emperor of the United States."
Stewart said, though, that it only took "one bad midterm election" for the president to totally change his tune and abandon his initial "I'm not the emperor" sentiment.
But Republicans weren't immune to Stewart's critiques either, as he went after numerous politicians and talking heads during the segment.
EXIT QUESTION: How on earth does this man justify his actions when his own words states the contrary?
Barack Obama Wrote in his 2006 Autobiography, 'The Audacity of Hope' … An Influx of Illegal Immigrants Will harm "the Wages of Blue-Collar Americans" & "Put Strains on an Already Overburdened Safety Net."
The below statements are not from Conservative or GOP critics of Barack Obama's amnesty plan. They are not of Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Laura Ingraham or anyone at Fox News. They are in fact the words of Sen. Barack Obama in 2006 when he was running for president and penned his autobiography, 'The Audacity of Hope'. Obama admits that such a large influx of low-skilled workers would threaten to depress further the wages of blue-collar Americans and put strains on an already overburdened safety net. That was then and this is now, what changed? Obama wants to sign an executive order that would allow this to happen. So does Obama not care about black people? Blacks already have an more than double the rate of white unemployment rate. Does he not care about blue collar workers?
I wrote what, its so hard to keep the lies straight?
"There's no denying that many blacks share the same anxieties as many whites about the wave of illegal immigration flooding our Southern border—a sense that what's happening now is fundamentally different from what has gone on before," then-Senator Obama wrote in his 2006 autobiography, "The Audacity of Hope: Thoughts on Reclaiming the American Dream."
"Not all these fears are irrational."
"The number of immigrants added to the labor force every year is of a magnitude not seen in this country for over a century," Obama noted. "If this huge influx of mostly low-skill workers provides some benefits to the economy as a whole—especially by keeping our workforce young, in contrast to an increasingly geriatric Europe and Japan—it also threatens to depress further the wages of blue-collar Americans and put strains on an already overburdened safety net."

Hey Hispanic voters, La Raza and the rest, did you read this … Obama also reveals that he personally feels "patriotic resentment" when he sees Mexican flags at immigration rallies. Hmm, is Barack Obama a racist?
"And if I'm honest with myself, I must admit that I'm not entirely immune to such nativist sentiments," Obama wrote. "When I see Mexican flags waved at pro-immigration demonstrations, I sometimes feel a flush of patriotic resentment. When I'm forced to use a translator to communicate with the guy fixing my car, I feel a certain frustration."
Chairman of the RNC Rance Priebus Says GOP Will Stop Barack Obama's 'Un-American' Amnesty if We Win Senate
Hey GOP … You better do something to rally the base ahead of the 2014 midterm elections.
In a radio interview with Laura Ingraham, Republican National Committee chairman Rance Priebus said, "It is un-American for a president to try and do such a thing. I want to make it clear: There is no part of me, there is not a molecule in my body that agrees with the president on executive amnesty." Laura Ingraham told the RNC chair that Republicans better explain how amnesty will destroy the country and not let Democrats say that I am against amnesty too. Laura rightfully took Rance Priebus to task and told him that the GOP better get aggressive on amnesty and get a spine and a message.
Good for you Laura, listening to Priebus is exactly why we do not see a real wave election.
I don't support it. It is wrong," Priebus said. "It is un-American for a president to try and do such a thing. I want to make it clear: There is no part of me, there is not a molecule in my body that agrees with the president on executive amnesty."
Priebus promised the hundreds of activists on the call that the Republican Party, if it takes the Senate on Nov. 4 in the upcoming midterm elections, will do everything in its power to stop Obama from proceeding on the executive amnesty. Priebus even boldly predicted that Republicans can and will succeed in stopping Obama if elected on Nov. 4.
"While I can't speak for the legislature, I'm very confident we will stop that," Priebus said. "We will do everything we can to make sure it doesn't happen: Defunding, going to court, injunction. You name it. It's wrong. It's illegal. And for so many reasons, and just the basic fabric of this country, we can't allow it to happen and we won't let it happen. I don't know how to be any stronger than that. I'm telling you, everything we can do to stop it we will."

Yes, $recur->parse() only parses the recurrence string, it's $recur->dates() that returns the list of dates. What I don't understand is why it isn't in my case. Clearly it worked for you.

Spinal nerves are a completely different beast than peripheral nerves. The latter do regrow on their own, slowly. The former don't.
We've improved Slashdot's video section; now you can view our video interviews, product close-ups and site visits with all the usual Slashdot options to comment, share, etc. No more walled garden! It's a work in progress -- we hope you'll check it out (Learn more about the recent updates).
Spinal nerves are a completely different beast than peripheral nerves. The latter do regrow on their own, slowly. The former don't.
Mine's right below the tumor that caused it. Neurological crap is some of the worst crap.
These guys aren't planning to repair a surgical cut, they're planning to graft the spinal cords of two different bodies together.
Maybe they should try to fix a regular decapitation first. Put the head back on the same body and prove that most of the nervous connections still work.. Even that would be worthy of a Nobel prize in medicine.
The same is true for curing cancer, every genetic disorder, and every viral disease.
Also, we don't even know if a solution exists.
This isn't like pursuing heart transplants before being able to fix each and every heart defect. It's like pursuing heart transplants before being able to do surgical sutures.
Seriously, are the people who cleam this serious? I don't think so.
The best entries, however, didn't rely on AI, but on the fact that the RNG of the arcade game isn't random. Once the Asteroids-bot figured out the internal state of the RNG, it could basically use hyperspace to make targetted jumps (and never one that lead to the destruction of the ship), shoot at asteroids that haven't appeared yet and various other tricks. It was very impressive to watch one of these bots in action.

Producing more offspring that manages to procreate.
'Most fit' must can only be meaured as the ones 'that survive'.
No, survival is a necessary, but not a sufficient criterion. Reproduction rate is what actually counts. If there are two groups with different reproduction rates, the larger one will eventually become completely dominant, especially when the two groups start getting into conflicts about resources.
Maybe they like this particular game? I'd love the chance to play City of Heroes or Earth&Beyond again. I wouldn't mind paying for that opportunity, either.
Few users means this game is not that much fun anymore.
Dictating what other people have to consider "fun" is ridiculous. This is just a super lame excuse to trick/force companies to share their code for nothing/free.
They could keep a server running. Or charge for the server module. Their choice.
That's bullshit. The code belongs to the copyright holder to do as he/she sees fit during the copyrighted phase, they should not lose it.
Sorry, copyright law was supposed to beneficial for both the public (which profits through the promotion of, er, the sciences and useful arts) and the creator of the work (who has an easier time monetizing it). Using copyright to force the public to stop using the old stuff and spend money on the new stuff is flat-out abuse of copyright law and should not fall under its protections.
The 1700's are about a few thousand years after authors started producing works in writing, and about a really, really long time after the first cave paintings (which, under todays copyright laws, would absolutely qualify as protected works). So, copyright laws are a recent phenomenon compared to the type of activity they apply to.
Printing privileges were more about using a certain technology and less about the intellectual property of the produced works. Copying a work by hand wasn't covered by printing privileges.
That's roughly 500 years of precedent.
Really short when compared to more mature laws, e.g. laws against theft and murder. Those have been around for thousands of years. Or are you somehow saying that laws more recent than that lack validity?
They lack maturity. And, had such laws been in place during the time of the Roman Empire, we'd still be stuck in the Dark Ages. That's obviously not the case for laws against theft and murder.
This must be from an American perspective. The history of copyright law is, compared to other types of law, so short that it really doesn't have much history.
If copyright laws had history, we would have lost a lot more works of authors from antiquitity to, say, Mozart, than we actually did. Had the concept of copyright existed 2000 years ago, building up culture (for lack of a better word) would have been impossible.
Also, copyright laws should promote the sciences and useful arts, at least that's how it's worded in the US. Using them to deprive the public of (commercial or noncommercial) access to the work is against the spirit of copyright law.
Photon. Time is nonexistent.
Or $TIMELESS_DEITY. Time exists, but has about as much meaning as the time index of a video. It makes more sense to watch everything in proper order, but you're free to watch the thing in reverse if you like.
But time-ordered sequences of events are only possible after t=0.
Imagine you're a CPU and your perception of time is in clock cycles. Would you be able to give an ordered sequence of events of all the things that happen before your clock generator starts, e.g. voltage ramp-ups, etc?

The major source of revenue for financing the budget was proceeds from crude oil sales which accounted for 53.3 percent and it was followed by Autonomous Foreign Exchange market which contributed 17.3 percent. The major components of capital spending were the PTF projects and loan capital repayment which, constituted 36.6 percent and 18.9 percent respectively. The major components of recurrent expenditure were transfer payment including interest payments on debts which constituted 45.4 percent of the total recurrent expenditure while administration took 36.4 percent. Overall, the fiscal operations of the Federal Government in 1996 resulted in a substantial surplus of N37.04billion, which was almost double the N19billion budget estimate. The surplus represented 1.6 percent of GDP and was due to improved revenue performance and an expenditure contraction within the general framework of fiscal discipline and prudence. |

We were watching some DVDs last night and, close to midnight, we found ourselves hungry only to discover there was no bread in the house to make some quick sandwiches. There were boxes of cereals and lots of milk but cereals just don't seem right for a midnight snack. My daughter, Alex, wanted some crepes but there was no pancake mix either. Alas, with heavy feet (we were in the middle of a very funny movie), I dragged myself into the kitchen to make some crepes from scratch.
I was cooking the third or fourth crepe when my eyes went past a bunch of ripe bananas on the counter. I checked the fridge for jam or jelly, found a jar of guava jelly and the result was good enough to blog — and brag — about. :)
Pour about half a cup of the batter into a pre-heated non-stick pan, tilting the pan to spread the batter as thinly as possible. If the batter is too thick (i.e., if it looks like you're going to have a pancake rather than a crepe), add a little more milk to the batter in the mixing bowl. Cook the crepe until the top bubbles and the underside is lightly browned. Flip over and cook the other side. Repeat until all the batter has been used up.
Slice some bananas lengthwise into halves. Place a half-banana, cut side up (if you put it cut side down, the jam or jelly will fall along the sides), on the center of a crepe. Spread some jam or jelly over the banana. Roll the crepe, folding both sides in as you do.
Then, serve and enjoy. I would have topped the banana-stuffed crepes with whipped cream but that's too fattening already. :razz:

Corporate Fury Review
iPhone App - Designed for the iPhone, compatible with the iPadCorporate Fury is a crude, vulgar fighter that is packed with a good portion of violent combat. Some of the game elements take me back to the year 2000 though, and that's not necessarily a good thing.

Adventure Awaits
I enjoy taking the road less traveled in life. I'm not one to settle or give up. I can be stubborn at times, goofy, lazy on rainy Sundays, nerdy, competitive when playing Settlers, motivated when I have a goal but mostly laid back and easy going. You'll usually find me out on the trail, running, riding, skiing, climbing, hiking or completely lost. Looking for someone similar with similar interests who is willing to get to know each other. I'm pretty easy going and laid back. Wanna grab coffee and walk? Hit me up on okc if you want .. look up and you'll find me.

How many insiders are getting deals, looting Hollywood's treasury, placing profits in the hands of the well-connected before a real developer is even involved? You have to question the mayor's motives when cities like Fort Lauderdale are actually charging developers more than $3,000 in impact fees for each condo unit being built.

My experience is that of a retired facilitator of change teams in a large Company. Your community is so fortunate in having both candidates familiar with CPS creative problem solving. Here are several reasons among many:
1. CPS is built on a collection of team plays organized around a process that is far more inclusive than, for example, Roberts Rules of Order, or more focused than "discussion" of problem situations.
2. CPS calls forth the best in people while they stay together, focused on a situation that challenges something they believe is important to their community.
3. CPS is a repeatable way to tap into the best thinking and imagination of extremely broad categories of people -- experts, non-experts, adults, children, etc. What better common-language could a community wish for for its school systems.
My wish for Almanac readers is that whoever wins the election will enlist the energy and CPS team skills of the other runnee.
Make your luck good!
