TROY, Ala. – Troy University has partnered with the award-winning Red Mountain Theatre Company to bring their dramatic interpretation of the "Letter From Birmingham Jail" to the Trojan Center Theatre on the Troy Campus on Nov. 12. The performance is set for 7 p.m. and is free and open to the public.
In 1963, eight white clergymen from a variety of Christian denominations in the Birmingham area wrote a letter to Dr. Martin Luther King admonishing him to allow local laws to deliver justice to Blacks suffering a variety of injustices at the time. On April 16, 1963, Dr. King responded to the clergy letter with a powerful, eloquent response which has become required reading in high schools and universities ever since.
The central character in the play, Dr. King, is being portrayed by Red Mountain Theatre Company principal actor, Cecil Washington. In addition, members of the Troy University faculty will portray the clergymen and read portions of the play. Faculty members participating include: Dr. Jeff Spurlock, associate professor in TROY's Hall School of Journalism and Communication; Dr. Marty Olliff, associate professor and director of archives on the Dothan Campus; Dr. Robert Saunders, associate professor in the College of Arts and Sciences; Dr. Stephen Cooper, professor of English; Dr. Bill Thompson, associate professor of English; Chris Shaffer, assistant professor and director of the Dothan Campus library; and Joe McCall, lecturer in the History Department.
"Troy University is pleased to sponsor the Red Mountain Theatre Company in its production of 'Letter from a Birmingham Jail,'" said Dr. Hal Fulmer, Associate Provost and Dean of Undergraduate and First Year Studies, who is coordinating the event. "Troy University joins with venues across the state to take part in this 50th anniversary commemoration of this significant moment in Alabama history and the 20th century civil rights movement."

If it's spectacular architecture you're looking for, a Pritzker laureate is a good bet.
French architect and urbanist Christian de Portzamparc, who won the prestigious award in 1994, is considered a genius at modeling and shaping his facades as if they were an arrangement of draped fabrics rather than a solid element of the architectural structure. The House of Dior, located in the stylish Gangnam shopping district of Seoul, Korea, is a vivid translation of Dior's style that echoes the exquisite textiles and fashions of the Dior collections in the building's envelope. For the facade, Portzamparc had twelve separate shells molded out of white fiberglass. They surround two sides of the building like billowing curtains, only opening occasionally to reveal glass-fronted apertures and an entrance. Inside, American interior designer Peter Marino has created a pastel-colored cosmos with monochrome tiled floors and mirrored walls where the French brand's luxury goods are displayed amidst works of fine contemporary art and furniture. His inspiration for the interior came from Dior's historic first boutique, the 1940s store on Avenue Montaigne in Paris.

No one ever wants to think about the possibility of a nursing home. Yet long-term care may figure prominently in many of our lives.
The New York Times recently published two articles by Jane Brody about how to choose a nursing home community carefully. In part one, Nursing Home Unthinkable? Be Prepared in Case It's Inevitable, she interviews people who point out how the biggest problem for most families is the timing — the necessity of choosing a nursing community with little time for discovery or preparation.
The piece presents a veritable checklist to help a family go about making a choice when true nursing care is required.
Best Quote in Part I
Nursing homes generally have had a bad reputation as smelly, indifferent places where people go to die. But "there are some homes that are better than being at home," Ms. Leefer said in an interview. "And there are many more good facilities than bad ones."

Dear Editor,
CONCERNS about the Iowa Veterans Home
We, the undersigned former employees of the Iowa Veterans Home (IVH), wish to express our deep concern about what is happening there. Since a new Commandant took over in 2010, stress has increased and morale decreased in that venerable facility for veterans. The Commandant and his Deputy have had an extremely negative impact on the culture, climate and operation of the home. As a result, many dedicated, experienced long-term employees have left, been pushed out, or retired early, unable or unwilling to tolerate the conditions brought about by this new leadership team. This can only trickle down to its logical outcome - a severe negative impact on resident quality of life and care!
It's important to note here, even during these trying, highly stressful times under the current administration, the staff of the IVH deserves credit and praise! Their professional competency and caring hearts make it so that most of the residents are insulated during this hard time. Residents continue to receive care from warm and loving hands. This is to the staffs' enduring credit and this is why we are speaking up on their behalf. Their loving care continues to be rendered in spite of the current leadership, not because of it. However, the staff does not have the power to change an administration whose policies and practices continue to restrict and narrow resident lives and create what many call a hostile work environment
Twice in the past year, serious allegations have led to official Department of Administrative Services (DAS) investigations of the Commandant's behavior and management style. Resident leadership has also cried out for help through various avenues. Exhaustive efforts to get the "system" to bring about change have failed. They say it is about resistance to a new management style, disgruntled employees, resistance to change, labor/management issues, reaction to stricter regulation enforcement, new and tighter rules, partisan politics, etc. IT IS NOT! It goes much deeper than that! In our opinion, this is a failed leadership team whose manner and style is repressive and controlling.
They should be replaced.
Ultimately, this is YOUR HOME, Iowans! We implore you to stand up for the veterans who have stood up for all of us. Please contact Governor Branstad, your legislators, your local veterans' organizations and let them know YOU CARE about Iowa's veterans. Demand action!
Richard Schrad, Retired Director of IVH Resident & Family Services & Resident Advocate -30 yrs. at IVH Marshalltown, Iowa; Dennis Mack, Retired H.R. Director & Interim IVH Administrator -31 yrs. at IVH Marshalltown, Iowa; Charlene McGrew, Retired Director of Nursing - 35 yrs. at IVH Marshalltown, Iowa; An additional 40+ more former IVH employees are signatories to this editorial.

Annual cost savings of approximately
(Editor's Note: Macy's, Inc. this afternoon also issued a separate news release announcing sales results for the 2013 holiday season and initial sales and earnings guidance for FY2014.)
"Our company has significantly increased sales and profitability over
the past four years, and we have created a culture of growth at Macy's,
Inc. We began five years ago with a set of business strategies that were
largely untested by a national retailer of our size and scope. As the
success of these strategies has unfolded, we have identified some
specific areas where we can improve our efficiency without compromising
our effectiveness in serving the evolving needs of our customers," said
"The actions being announced today reinforce our focus on continuous improvement in our M.O.M. strategies (My Macy's localization, Omnichannel integration and Magic Selling customer engagement) and will help us to maximize the impact of the exceptional talent we enjoy at every level of our organization," Lundgren said.

Operating Cost Reductions
Cost reductions and organizational changes reflect learnings from the implementation of business strategies and new technologies at Macy's in recent years. Changes include:
Approximately 2,500 employees are expected to be laid off and are eligible for severance as a result of these organizational changes. Other associates are being reassigned with new duties or transferred; some open positions will not be filled. Meanwhile, the company continues to add positions in other parts of the company – such as in online operations, direct-to-consumer fulfillment and new stores. In total, the Macy's, Inc. workforce is expected to remain at a level of approximately 175,000 associates.
Store Openings/Closings
Macy's, Inc. today also detailed a series of normal-course adjustments to its portfolio of Macy's and Bloomingdale's stores across the country.
"Our stores remain a very important component of our omnichannel strategy for both the Macy's and Bloomingdale's brands. We continue to maintain a very strong nationwide network of stores through an ongoing process of selectively adding new locations while also trimming those that no longer meet our performance requirements or where our leases were not renewed," Lundgren said.
The company is announcing today that it will close the following five
Macy's stores in early spring 2014. Final clearance sales will begin on
The company is committed to treating associates affected by store closings with respect and openness. Associates displaced by store closings may be offered positions in nearby stores where possible. Eligible full-time and part-time associates who are laid off due to the store closing will be offered severance benefits.
Eight new and replacement Macy's and Bloomingdale's stores are currently planned and/or under construction, as previously announced.

New Dicor Company is Reinventing Sidewalls
March 29, 2010 by Sherman Goldenberg · Comments Off on New Dicor Company is Reinventing Sidewalls
Watch today's Featured Video on Dicor.
Coming out of this past winter's Louisville Show, Dicor Corp. President Gregg Fore essentially threw down the gauntlet to his RV industry supplier peers by listing an array of new products Dicor and its affiliated companies were bringing to the table in 2009 and 2010. In so doing, he said he was "challenging the status quo" and "setting a tone for the RV industry to think differently when it comes to new product design and the choice of options that are now available."
Now, he's apparently taking that challenge to the next level with a plan to reinvent the composite side panel business by launching a new company that will build lightweight RV sidewalls and other structural components called Vixen Composites LLC. Toward that end, Vixen is currently installing $6.1 million in equipment in a once-vacant plant on the northwest side of Elkhart, Ind.
"We're in the process now of setting up the facility and the equipment," Fore said in an interview. "We expect to be running limited production sometime in the third quarter and hopefully be in full production by the fourth quarter of 2010."
Fact is, as Fore points out in a new RVBUSINESS.com video, the recession hasn't prevented the Elkhart-based Dicor group of companies, including Alta Resources LLC, Seal Design LLC, United Shade LLC and Dicor Corp., from moving ahead on all fronts.
"Well, there's never not a time to do new things," says Fore, "and Dicor spent over two years in developing the (composite wall) process because we believe that lighter weight is here to stay. We believe that structural integrity is a more important factor than it has been before and we've developed a process using old and new technology mixed together to provide a product that's lighter and more sustainable.
"The manufacturing process allows us to build a panel that is not susceptible to some of the same kind of warranty issues that people have experienced in the past."
Fore says that Vixen's products, which contain no wood and resist mold, are to appeal to other markets utilizing "high gloss finished products."
"The market we believe is actually larger outside the RV business than it is inside the RV business," adds Fore, who serves as president of both Dicor and Vixen. "We're focusing to start out with exterior panels because it's one of the most difficult things to do, but we expect very soon to stretch out into the commercial trucking industry and into the residential, military and marine markets."
Vixen in January obtained $224,000 in property tax abatement over five years from the Elkhart City Council. Approval of the tax abatement also made Vixen, which plans to employ 34 people by 2012, eligible for $320,000 in state incentives, including tax credits and training grants.

The nomination process for the Wireless Leadership Awards at BlackBerry® World™
is still open for one more week has since been completed. These coveted honors have been garnering increased attention over the past five years, so in order to get a better understanding of this year's program, I recently sat down with Lisa, who manages the program overall.
For those who don't know, what exactly are the Wireless Leadership Awards, and how did it start?
We love our BlackBerry platform customers, and the Wireless Leadership Awards are something we do to show our customers some love! Customers who can demonstrate how BlackBerry® products have had a positive impact on their business are eligible for a Wireless Leadership Award. The first time we held the Wireless Leadership Awards was in 2006. Basically, we kept hearing about innovative BlackBerry smartphone projects and exciting business results that our customers were achieving, and we decided we needed a way to showcase these stories, and so began the first awards at WES 2006.
Since then, we've seen so many amazing things that our customers are achieving through their BlackBerry solution deployments. It's really exciting to see all the entries come in, not to mention the depth and breadth of apps they are developing and using in so many different industries.
Over the years I've worked with clients and independent software vendors on hundreds of great projects. It seems a rather daunting task to choose only one leader!

Window Seats - "Local Superhero"
"Local Superhero" by Window Seats is the video for our second single from upcoming EP "Frozen Bones". The video was 10 months in the making and in the end 36 people helped on it in one way or another. The director, Marty Stalker is one of the hardest working people we've ever met and a massive fan of collaboration. Between us we brought in everyone we possibly could to help. People were really up for it and glad to be part of something so unique and of such a high standard.
The video was shot in a set we built ourselves in an industrial unit. We knew that no comic book shop would be able to give us the kind of access we needed to shoot the video, so building it ourselves meant that we could plan our shots and set-ups very exactly.
We are lucky enough to count Ciaran Larkin at iMakeanything as a close friend. He's helped us on videos in the past, but his real passion is superhero prop and costume replicas. All the props you see in the video were custom made by Ciaran and if you don't spot them all on the first viewing, rest assured there are quite a lot of them in there.
Despite how the video looks, it was actually made on a shoestring budget. Like most things we do, we try and get the quality of the work as high as it can possibly be. We're DIY and really hands on with everything we produce and think we have achieved something with a production value worthy of a high end budget.
We hope you enjoy the video and tune. -The Band

Hi All,
I'm considering a holiday to Jamaica later on in the year. My partner and I want to go on an all inclusive type break, but we can't go to Jamaica without seeing the real sites!
We would love to get in contact with someone who can give us a real experience and show us the historic reggae places. Has anyone done this before? Any ideas on friends/family or official tours that can hook us up?
I'm not really sure where we would want to go. Probably Hope Road, 9 Mile, Trenchtown, Studio One (or where it was) a couple of record shops and maybe a visit to trench town. It would be great to get hooked up with someone reliable and trustworthy before getting there.

WASHINGTON | U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio is holding up the confirmations of two African-American judicial candidates, drawing fire from the Congressional Black Caucus, which held a news conference Wednesday blaming him for " negligence and obstruction."
WASHINGTON | U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio is holding up the confirmations of two African-American judicial candidates, drawing fire from the Congressional Black Caucus, which held a news conference Wednesday blaming him for " negligence and obstruction."
" We would like our senator to step up to the plate and put away whatever games he is playing," said Rep. Corrine Brown, D-Jacksonville.
But Florida Democratic Sen. Bill Nelson isn't pressing forward on one of the candidates, William L. Thomas, either. He is awaiting the outcome of a background check by the Senate Judiciary Committee.
The nominees are Brian Davis, for the U.S. District Court for the Middle District, whom Rubio introduced at his confirmation hearing, and Thomas, for the U.S. District Court for the Southern District, a Miami-Dade Circuit Court judge who is openly gay.
Both made it through Florida's Federal Judicial Nominating Commission, a panel that makes recommendations to the state's senators. The senators, who met with the candidates, sent letters to the White House supporting them. President Barack Obama then nominated the men.
Rubio now says he shares concerns about Davis that were raised last year by Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa.
Grassley questioned statements Davis made in the mid 1990s, including suggesting Joycelyn Elders was forced to resign as U.S. surgeon general because she is black.
Davis said he made the comments in a speech about race, but acknowledged they were inappropriate for a judge.
" Those questions need to be resolved," Rubio said in an interview Wednesday afternoon.
But in May 2012, Rubio glowed about Davis and another nominee during a Senate Judiciary Hearing. " One of the pleasant surprises of this job is the quality of individuals who offer themselves for public service, and the quality of individuals who we've been able to forward to the president, to the White House, today being no exception," he said.
As for Thomas, Rubio is concerned about his involvement in a controversial case in which a man was given a sentence of just 364 days in jail for the hit-and-run death of a cyclist.
Meantime, Florida House members are in the dark.
" We have no idea," Rep. Frederica Wilson, D-Miami, said in an interview . " When there's just absolute silence, you can't think of anything but political gamesmanship."
The complaints from the Congressional Black Caucus are broader than Florida. In a statement, the group said, " Currently, 30 percent of judicial nominees pending confirmation in the Senate are African-American."
The group said that out of 787 federal positions, only 95 are held by black judges.

but with earth still fine and going? ... doesn't make much sense to me. isn't it a bit too soon, perhaps?
He said the 'world has lost its colors'. but wait, how much time took him to say that exactly? He gets bored pretty fast, uh?

By the way, is anyone interested in uncensoring the DB/DVD releases? I think it should be legal under fair use... I can do some key frames, encoding, certainly host... and since I played around with HTML5 video, I'm itching to go back to it

Let me elaborate a little... we can take the scenes with that radioactive sunshine and redraw what should have been there, encode it, and make the short videos available on-line, since they are just altered scenes depicting our take on how things should be done, without making a dime (later part to fall under the fair use clause); dunno, just a thought that seems feasible

Other than Yuu speaking of course, my favorite scenes all involved Haruna as usual. The beginning was hilarious! Not to mention, way to use the enemy's magic to go on a trip around the world? Only you Haruna...

If death is all he wanted, he wouldn't have asked to be reincarnated. What he wanted was a blank slate; the blessing of starting his life over. Even if that means becoming a flightless bird catching fish in the ocean.
Keep in mind that all of the major characters in this show are all technically capable of living forever. An indefinite lifespan isn't a curse, but a way of life for them. It's just that if you did something you regret, and you couldn't live with yourself afterwards, you are stuck, It's a self-created hell. Immortality is not the bogeyman here.
And of course, what with the afterlife being confirmed to exist, immortality appear to be of rather limited use. Then again, you can have your soul destroyed and suffer true-death. But I don't think anyone likes that.

He wants to die because he doesn't HAVE any friends. He made himself alone. If you did something so despicable that you couldn't live with yourself, I say you deserve the suffering of living with that decision.
You need to wrap your head around the fact that to live thousands of years is NORMAL in this show. There is no such thing as generations of friends dying, because no one dies from old age. You die from accidents or being killed, not from anything like cancer or kidney failure.

You got a point, my focus on immortality being the bogeyman for everything isn't too right. Even so, I'm not sure how much significance that penguine line had, honestly. Of course he didn't say it without any reason but the immortality's consequences themselves still add to the passive torment anyway.
So there's this reason you definitely can't live with. If we assume that he also won't be able to live with it even in the distant future then as long as he lives on through the effects of immortality his situation will most likely worsen. Btw. I really think we shouldn't judge his faultiness of reasoning and tell him to live on and keep suffering as some kind of punishment, we don't even know his reasons to begin with. All we know is that he turned mad after he was revived as a zombie and then killed one of the higher-up devils. Which resulted in being told to disappear (which might be just part of the reason).
Oh and if you really mean that he wants to die because he doesn't have any friends, I beg to differ. He does have friends: Yuu considers herself one, so does Kyoko or at least there's gotta be some kind of relationship between them, and the humans he's interacted with are also being nice to him. Well, if you say that regardless of those people he still thinks he's alone and he can't live with himself, that's another thing (which I agree with).

You guys have a good point about this immortality business. I'm pretty sure that it is touched on again because most of the main cast is very long lived. Plus, there are certain LN spoilers about a certain crazed masou shojou that didn't want to lose all her friends after being locked up for a few centuries.
Animes these days like to have some central theme. Maybe this one's theme is mortality/ immortality?

When are you no longer a single mom?
Here's the tricky thing. We all know what "single" means. We all know what "mother" means. But the combination of those two words creates a whole that is far greater than the sum of its parts. Translation: you can't take the SingleMommy out of the Mommy just by handing her a boyfriend. At least not right away. There's more to single mommyhood than relationship status.
Last night I went to a PTA meeting from 7-8:30 pm. And I didn't have to arrange a sitter. All I had say was: "I have a PTA meeting on Thursday. Will you be home by 7 to watch The Kid while I'm gone?" The Man was happy to oblige. And I didn't have to pay him! And The Kid wasn't playing with matches when I got home! He was doing his homework. And he'd been fed. And there were leftovers for me staying warm in the oven. And the garbage cans had been drug in from the curb. And there were dishes in progress in the sink. And The Man was downstairs doing laundry.
And then we all lived happily ever after.
Seriously?! This is what it's like for you married people?! (Wait. Let me rephrase: for you happily married people?!) I can not, in good conscience, call myself a single mom after an experience like that.
The Man has only been here three weeks. And I don't mean here, living with me. I mean here, in the same state (and yes, living with me). So the transition from single mom to [whatever-the-hell-you-call-someone-who-used-to-be-a-single-mom-but-is-now-living-with-her-boyfriend-while-raising-her-son-from-a-previous-and-disastrous-marriage] was abrupt. More than that, actually. Not abrupt. Nonexistent.
I was a single mom for 6 years. I can't turn off that mentality at the drop of a hat. (Or at the drop of a bunch of moving boxes in my basement.) It will take some time, but I am looking forward to the day I no longer identify as a single mom.
There's a part of me that clings to single mommyhood; a part of me that takes a certain amount of pride in doing this by myself. It's been me and The Kid against the world for a long time now. And as much as I'm looking forward to the next stage in our growing family, I can't lie: I am mourning the loss of us as dynamic duo. Just a little.
Having a man around who, three weeks in, offers to help pay private school tuition for my kid? That's kind of fucking amazing. Not because of the financial aspect (though that's pretty amazing too), but because of his dedication to this family.
To our family.
I think I can get used to this.

SMS said it best - in tears. Precious precious pictures that almost say more than the text of your post. I sincerely wish you all every happiness from the bottom of my heart.
- Samantha said...
This is really exciting! Though I've just started reading this blog, I'm very happy for you.
Being a single mom, is just like you said, and identity. While we make the transition, we may need to hold one to it a bit longer. Just don't let it drive a wedge between you and The Man.
I was thinking the other day how hard of a time I would have in letting someone else join our big family of 2. Its a hard but good transitions! Congratulations!!!
- Nicki said...
Wow. So funny, since this question is one that has plagued me recently, too. Sure, we're living together, a new big happy family of four. And he has taken on financial burdens that leave me both shocked and amazed. Guess we'll all answer that question in time.
- Noodle said...
In the same situation here. Doesn't seem honest anymore to call myself a single mom. I've been telling people I'm 're-partnered', but, ick, sounds like I'm a robot who was missing a part before.
My daughter also struggles with how to introduce my boyfriend. She is unsure as whether to correct people who assume he is her dad. Usually she doesn't bother anymore, as I've told her to say whatever feels honest to her.
She has really put the pressure on for us to get married, though, because she feels 'stepfather' is a more legit title than 'mom's boyfriend.'
- Wicked Bitch, Latina Fatale said...
Lovely isn't it? I'm always the eternal pessimist, so I'll just throw in my negative two cents. I'm of the view that it is great that another man comes along and assists women with their children from a previous relationship. What a man! There are men who can't even take care of their own damn kids.
HOWEVER, I still wouldn't forget that it isn't his children and he can wake up any day and remind you of that. I would still always keep it in the back of my mind, and that way you will be able to protect yourself emotionally and financially. Maybe that's a negative way to think, but I consider myself pragmatic.
- The Grown-Up Child said...
As a grown kid of a one time single mom, I really like this question. I know in my experience, although my mom was only 'single' for 5 years, those years lent a dynamic to our relationship that has never gone away. Almost like accident victims who always have a connection although they are literal strangers.
When you're in the trenches together just trying to survive (emotionally, financially, mentally, etc), a special kind of bond is created. Luckily for my stepfather (and hopefully for your guy too), he was never intimidated or jealous of that. Even when they had their own children and that bond was still evident, he never showed any jealousy or resentment. Now that's a special thing.
So I guess what I'm trying to say is that yes, the days of being a 'single mom' can end, but the scar (and in this case it is a beautiful scar indeed - just look at those pictures!) endures.
Thanks for a great topic!
- Michele said...
Beautiful. You are right, "single motherhood" has very little to do with relationship status. When I was married I felt like a single mother. With the support that you have from the man, I can see where it would be difficult to identify as a single mom.
- Tricia Moran said...
Beautiful post. Beautiful boy and beautiful mama. I am happy to know that some happiness can come out of a very tough situation. I am happy that someone is treating you like you and your son deserve. It's nice to have someone to share the burden of parenting with, even if you do miss that duo. I understand that. Thanks for inspiring me.
Tricia :)
- MindyMom said...
Great question and GREAT post!
I've been a single mom for almost 8 years now and I think it would be difficult to think of myslef in a different way - even with a boyfriend around but you make excellent points.
There are so many shades of gray but I personally think marriage would make me *feel* less like a single mom but also somehow once we're in that club it will always be a part of us. Dontcha think?
So happy for you!
- BigLittleWolf said...
This is a truly beautiful post. I can understand mourning the "dynamic duo" - but you will always have it. And now you have the opportunity to offer your child a "terrific trio."
This was lovely to read. Enjoy your transition, and the good things to come.
- T said...
Yep. Exactly. LOVE this post!
And love the pics! Keep your dynamic duo time too! Balance is good, right?
- hbomb said...
Very nice blog....enjoyed it and agree.
- Kristen said...
I have such a hard time calling myself a single mom. My ex pays child support. He has visitation. I guess in my mind since I have help I have a hard time considering myself a single mom. Yep...I'm just that hard on myself. I'm slowly coming around.
- Tatum said...
I was a single mama for nine years, almost to the day. See? I know how long it was just me and the kiddo almost to the day. And it was JUST me and the kiddo-no child support, no free weekends, no nothing. And some days I miss that freedom. Some days I forget to say, "Ask your Dad." (She calls him Dad.) Some days I don't want deal with the dynamic between everyone in my family. But I wouldn't trade the addition of my husband in for anything. Your post brought me to tears as well. Having a man love your child like you do is such a priceless gift on so many levels. Congrats Martini Mom and Kid.

I'm grateful as HELL that there are single moms out there like you, whether you're officially "single" now or not, that write about these challenges, b/c frankly it makes me feel a lot less alone.
So THANKS mama!

Hello! What a great post!
Just followed you over from your MSM post; can't wait to read more about you & your family!
Congrats on finding such a wonderful man to share your, and your son's, life with. I agree, I think once you *feel* like a family and share the familial responsibilities, you no longer necessarily have to qualify as a single mom. It's the love and help and support that makes a family, and shows you what your man is made of.
And I am actually married (for the second time) to a man who has very, very little to do with us anymore. I have raised my sons by myself, and done all the difficult, hard stuff by myself, even though I am married. I am still having to do it that way. I definitely relate more to a single mom than a married or partnered mom.
Nice to meet you :)
you oughta spread 'em wide for this guy. paying for private school -AND it's not even his spawn? you lucked out, grrrl. feed 'em n fuck 'em and he'll never leave you.
but ya, like wicked bitch says, one day he may wake up and realize he's educating someone else's kid.
just sayin'
- Martini Mom said...
Dear Anonymous,
He's not paying for private school. I said he *offered*. My kid doesn't even attend a private school. He also doesn't support my child - I do that, with some help from my son's dad.
Yes. Someday The Man might leave. Or maybe *I'll* leave. Or he'll get hit by a bus. Whatever. The situation may change and we won't all be living together anymore. That will be a very sad day, and I hope it never happens. But if it DOES happen, don't assume I'm not capable of supporting my own child. I've done it for the 8 years he's been alive, and I'll do it for at least 10 more, REGARDLESS of my relationship status.
My point was merely that my current situation (living with a man who is willing to help - financially AND OTHERWISE) is VERY different from that of a single mom's situation. And so, at some point, I'll likely stop identifying as a single mom. But financially supporting my child was never and will never be an expectation or hope of anyone other than myself and my son's father.
As for spreading my legs? Sure. I'll keep doing that. Because I love him. And because he's hot. And because the sex is gooooood. And then I'll get up and go to work and earn my money to support my child just like I've always done.
And you? I suspect you'll continue bouncing from blog to blog leaving ridiculous judgmental comments, just like you've always done. Good luck with that. May it bring you much happiness.
Hugs and kisses,
Martini Mom

CAMBRIDGE, MASS. - Unlike last season's meeting between MIT and Wheaton College, when play was suspended due to darkness in the first overtime period and resumed three days later concluding with MIT winning on penalty strokes, the Engineers were able to get the job done with a 2-1 victory in regulation play. Tech (7-5, 2-2 NEWMAC) extended its overall winning streak to three and has won back-to-back NEWMAC games.
MIT pressured the Lyons (4-7, 1-4 NEWMAC) early, but it was Wheaton who struck first 2:50 into the game. Lyndsie Ryalls broke up an attempted clear by the Engineers and sprinted to the goal for the score. Tech regained its composure and posted the equalizer in the 20th minute when Margaret Gentile snuck the ball in after a scramble in front of the cage. With 4:56 remaining in the first half, Deanna Lentz posted the game-winning goal by dribbling past several Wheaton defenders.
The second stanza was evenly played, with both teams having numerous opportunities to score. However, outstanding defensive play kept the game scoreless during the final frame.
In the goal, Alexa Herman collected six saves for MIT. Emily Fiskio made 12 stops for the Lyons.
The next game for MIT will be on Saturday, Oct. 16 at 1:00 p.m. when it travels to Mount Holyoke College.

Fire burns in desert west of Blackfoot
ROCKFORD — A fire west of Blackfoot burned 688 acres and was 50 percent contained by 8 p.m. Tuesday night, according to the Bureau of Land Management.
The fire, named the Taber Fire, was reported about 3 p.m. Tuesday at 1900 West 300 North approximately 4 miles south of Taber and 17 miles west of Blackfoot. The fire was primarily burning in the desert and lava flows but was adjacent to a hay field. There had been no reports of loss or damage due to the fire as of Tuesday evening.
The Bureau of Land Management sent four heavy engines, one light engine, two single engine air tankers, one hand crew, one helicopter and a bulldozer to the fire, Bureau of Land Management Public Affairs Specialist Sarah Wheeler said. The Blackfoot Fire Department also had crews on scene.
Wheeler said fires in the lava flows are difficult and crews had to hike in to get to the fire. Lava flows are also rough on equipment and shred hoses. BLM firefighters were expected to remain on scene through the night. The fire was expected to be 100 percent contained Tuesday night.
The cause of the fire is unknown, but Wheeler said fire investigators were on scene working to determine what may have started the fire.

text: I bought a cheap ssl cert from Godaddy for my ISPConfig 3 server. It works fine now, no warnings going to https://server.example.com but if I go to https://server.example.com:8080 I get the cert warning, so 8080 is using the self signed cert. I made sure the server IP http ports were 80,443,8080 when I created the CSR that I pasted into Godaddy's site to rekey. I am running ISPConfig 3 Debian Squeeze, nginx perfect server etc...... Any idea if 8080 can also use the Godaddy signed cert? thanks!

|Project Oyolinux
|In progress
|Last Update
Since i (User:TheOnlyJoey) purchased a shitload of OYO e-readers, here is a wiki page to dump all the information.
- http://www.fwma.de/pmwiki/pmwiki.php?n=Main.OYO <-- everything linux and shizzle
- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/4FFF_N618 <-- hardware information
- http://openinkpot.org/wiki/Device/Qisda-eBook <-- some source shizzlewizzle.
- oyo-hack wiki on gitorious
- OYO hacking page at TechInc
smeding's efforts
smeding has been working on a from-scratch Linux system for the Oyo and has made considerable progress. The notes listed here have resulted in a working system, but could do with some more elaboration.
SD card
A normal Linux FS pretty much relies on symlinks, but the boot loader can only boot from vfat which does not support these.
The solution: partition the SD card to have one small (10MB or so) partition with the kernel (and the empty initramfs the bootloader looks for), and a large ext3 partition that the kernel can mount as root.
Hardware hacking
I soldered to the hardware serial port that's internally available, which helps with kernel debugging (the usb-serial is a kernel module so won't work if the kernel doesn't boot). Pictures available at http://ownyo.de. It's *very* fiddly, a better solution would be to find the appropriate FFC for the debug connector, as well as a matching connector, and make a little breakout board.
- Run this to retrieve and set up the kernel repo:
$ git clone git://gitorious.org/oyo-hack/kernel.git kernel $ cd kernel $ git checkout topic/board/sg060 $ tg remote --populate origin
- Then, to configure:
$ make ARCH=arm sg060_defconfig $ make ARCH=arm menuconfig
- You'll want to change the kernel parameters (the default is some weird config used by Heiko Stübner for his development work). I use the following: root=/dev/mmcblk0p2 console=ttySAC0,115200 ro init=/sbin/init rootwait
- Add in VFAT and the locales it needs directly (instead of as modules), as well as ext2 support, so we don't have to muck about with an initramfs or something
Root fs
- Download buildroot
- Apply this patch: http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/219054/ so you can select an existing kernel source dir
- Type 'make menuconfig' in the buildroot dir. Set up the basics -- make it compile for an ARM system, and 'generic' works. I chose to let buildroot compile me a cross compiler, for convenience. Make it produce a tarball as the filesystem image or something.
- Enable the buildroot bits you want on your root fs.
- Enable the kernel build, and use the existing kernel repo you downloaded and initialized as a custom local source dir. (I don't think using the git repo directly would work because of the topgit stuff.) Set the config to point at the kernel config file you made earlier. Tell it to build a zImage.
- Compile everything by typing 'make'. This may take a while.
- Prepare the partitions in the following manner:
- Make and format two partitions on your SD card -- one 20MB vfat partition and one larger ext2 partition.
- Copy the kernel ($BUILDROOTDIR/outputimages/zImage) to $VFATPARTITION/qdutil/uzImage
- Create an empty u-boot image with u-boot's mkimage. I don't think it matters too much what's in there, but I was operating under the impression it wanted an initramfs so I built an empty cpio.gz archive and put that inside. Copy it to the SD card as $VFATPARTITION/qdutil/urootfs.img
- Extract the root FS image to the ext2 partition.
If you now hold the left/right buttons while powering it up, you should be able to see it boot correctly via the (hardware, see above) serial port. The screen won't do much yet -- I'm working on that :)

Vic Armstrong
Vic Armstrong has had a hand in many high octane films over the years. We caught up with him at the Die Another Day DVD release, w...
DVDActive: So, are you a DVD fanatic?
VA: I've just had a home cinema put into my house which projects DVDs.
DVDActive: Oh right. A big projector?
VA – Yes it's a ten foot screen and 7.1 THX and everything .. its such a wonderful medium. It's fantastic! The difference between that and you know I can do tape as well. Its so great watching films projected with proper sounds and everything. I've been offered a thing to direct called Resident Evil so I projected that last night and it's like WOAH!
DVDActive: The picture on that DVD is very clear.
VA – It's superb! Really great.
DVDActive: So that was the last movie you watched?
VA – It was, Resident Evil, last night.
DVDActive: Is that the sort of genre of films you like? The high powered soundtracks, DTS?
VA – I like the DTS high powered soundtracks. Terminator 2's I liked. I only watched that (Resident Evil) because I knew I was getting a script delivered today. Just bone up on it, you know? I've been watching all the Academy stuff because I am in the Academy and BAFTA like Gangs of New York, stuff like that. Normally I'm an action/adventure/comedy person. However I have just seen Y Tu Mama Tambien. I thoroughly enjoyed that. Thought it was fabulous. Anything with a good story, you know? Catch Me If You Can was wonderful.
DVDActive: Yes it was.
VA – Anything with a good story I like. I can get bored very easily.
DVDActive: OK moving towards this film. Can you explain your role in Die Another Day? I'm sure you've had to do this a few times today!
VA – Yes! We class ourselves technically as the Action Unit so in the old days you'd have the 2nd Unit which is still around but they tend to do a close up of this bottle or a close up of your hand writing or a close up of your machine getting turned on, or they get up early and wait for three or four days to try and get a lovely sun rise or sunset. Where as I have a one hundred and fifty man crew minimum and we do whole sequences which basically embodies the whole of the action sequence which is why we call it the Action Unit because we shoot the whole action sequence, and my job is to conceive that sequence, get it agreed with the main unit director and the producers and the financiers and everything else, take it to the special effects, the props, set construction – everything else, and have everything designed around that sequence and then at the end of the day I have to go out and shoot it. I also do a rough cut of it on my computer in Final Cut Pro 3 so we end up with a final cut, or my final cut and then the editor obviously does the cut for the movie. So we basically conceive and make the whole of the action sequences.
DVDActive: And how much of that comes from the original story that the writers would produce?
VA – Some movies like Gangs of New York there was a lot written down, a lot that Martin Scorsese wrote in this for instance, or in The World is Not Enough for instance, it said "He escapes from MI6 at Vauxhall bridge and chases the boat girl down the Thames and they wind up at the dome, and they end up on a hot air balloon." That's what we started with, so you drive up and down the Thames, and look at this and look at that and we conceive everything. In this one, in Die Another Day, there's a hovercraft chase. We knew the bay would have hovercrafts because of the mines, and it being South Korea and supposedly these hovercraft can hover over the mines without detonating them. So, we knew we were going to have a hovercraft chase, but then I went to the area the location people had picked for us which was Aldershot which was the closest to the North Korea look we could get (laughs). So I walked round the location and devised all those gags and I put everything I could think together and there's even more that's in the movie. And then just hone it down and then shot it. So yeah, very often it's SORT of a blank piece of paper, with just some ghostly instructions on if you like.
DVDActive: Did you find that from your experience in The World is Not Enough where it's a boat scene and they are racing but they're not on road, the back end will go out, did you find that had a lot of parallels with the hovercrafts?
VA – In some ways, probably when I started yes, and then once when we started testing these hovercrafts we suddenly realised they don't manage, you can't control them as much as you can even a boat which is tough enough you know? So they took on a whole life of their own and in fact I changed a lot of the storyline to match them once I started working with them realising exactly how unmanageable they were and unwieldy. So I started adapting the storyline for that as well, you know? I just wanted to go through the story and we even had one instance where they did a big jump and land on a lake and everything else which I had in my rough cut. I just wanted to show them in every type of terrain that a normal vehicle couldn't cover.
DVDActive: Was the hovercraft perhaps your favourite scene to be involved with on Die Another Day?
VA – No I'd have to say the ice car chase was my favourite scene. That was, the original cut was much much bigger than that, much more balletic – it was like a ballet on ice. I was very proud of it because it had an amazing look to it. Hovercraft was unique in it's own way, but this car chase was incredible because we had these two, you had this fantastic great wide shot of these two little dinky cars amongst great prehistoric icebergs with the blue and the ice and they were just floating and dancing and I was very proud of that one. To come up also with a chase with just two cars chasing, no interaction, no nothing you know?
DVDActive: Will we get any of that on the DVD?
VA – Yes I believe there's a twenty six minute making of, so you'll get to see all of that stuff on there which I was happy about when I read that on one of he previews of the DVD, yeah. It's spectacular it really is, just sensational.
DVDActive: Yeah I'll look forward to seeing that. So obviously protecting the stunt men for these types of scenes is paramount were there any times you can talk about where things did, or nearly went wrong when shooting this movie?
VA – Yeah on the ice chase, in particular, we were deadly worried about cars going through ice, but at the same time if you hit an iceberg then there would be a terrible impact or if the two cars hit each other as they do a lot of crossing or what have you. So we had five point harnesses built into all the cars but it was a personal agreement with whatever the drivers wanted to do whether they wore their harnesses or not because the open car is not so bad, you could probably get out of that, the Jaguar, but the enclosed Aston, if that did actually break the ice and go through, the shock of the water – I don't think you'd ever release your harnesses and get out you know, so they both decided to go without harnesses on because the chances of hitting an iceberg was much less than going through the ice. And unfortunately once we did hit an iceberg (laughs) and totally destroyed an Aston Martin probably four, five hundred thousand dollars which was the money we put into them building them and everything else. And he got terrible concussion for four days cause he whacked his head on the side and then went up and split his head on the roll bars. But you know, he walked away from it, fine, four days after he was back again but err.. so that was a calculated risk if you like. If they had the harnesses on and they went in the water I don't think they'd have come out of it, so you know.. just a calculated risk. Apart from that (touch wood) we didn't really have any majors no.
DVDActive: Earlier on (in the day) we were being told about Pierce and his stunts and how he is very athletic and did a lot on board the hovercraft and stuff, were there any times when he really wanted to do a stunt but say the insurance company or whoever won't let him?
VA – Erm, he had a bit of a bad knee at the beginning of the movie which he actually had when we did Tomorrow Never Dies and he had some surgery on it. So we were aware of how much he could do, but my argument was I think the insurance company were a bit sceptical about letting him lose with me in a hovercraft, and my argument was, once we got him in the hovercraft, he's a passenger and there should be no strain on his knee at all and he's just to hang on you know? And I think it really makes the hovercraft chase because you can see him and he's getting mud in his face and bullets exploding trees and wood hitting him from the trees and there's crap flying everywhere and he loved as he's actually in amongst it and people go to see Pierce Brosnan who is James Bond, they don't go to see stunt double A.N.Other do an exciting sequence. They want to see Pierce Brosnan doing an exciting sequence because he IS James Bond – same as Harrison was in Indiana Jones. That's why it's so important to put them in it, and he knows that and he knows the value of it and he'll come at the drop of a hat to my unit all the time - he knows, like the boat chase, you know he's in there you know. Which is great, and to me that makes the movie. As an audience goer I'll enjoy it a lot more when I do see what I believe is the actors doing their stunts.
DVDActive: There's a large fighting scene in the middle with Bond fencing and stuff – was that part of your unit at all?
VA – No. My contribution to that was to recommend Bob Anderson who I think is one of the best fencing masters in the world. He's eighty-odd years old, got the enthusiasm of a twenty year old, he's trains Canadian Olympic teams, he even worked with Douglas Fairbanks and everybody – he's a fantastic fencer. So as soon as this sequence came up I said "If you want to do this correctly, get this guy". I did fencing sequences – Rob Roy and all that sort of stuff – this guy, is innovative. You know, I did a couple of movies with him. What did I do.. erm.. The Phantom and what else? Oh I recommended him for Zorro as well which is some of the best fencing I've seen in a modern day movie you know? It had all the swash and buckle of all the old movies. So O recommended him for Zorro, and I worked with him on The Phantom so in my mind it was a no brainer – get him for this if we can get him and I think he did a superb job. I'd like to take credit for it, but he choreographed it, came up with great ideas, the set was built, and I think it was a really really good sequence. Very enjoyable you know? Very classy.
DVDActive: Just popping back to the car chase. The Aston has this adaptive camouflaging which allows it to disappear in and out of view. Did that present any problems while filming the scene?
VA – I wasn't wild about that. It is very democratic making a Bond film but I wasn't totally enamoured with that. It was OK and it was fun when in disappeared and I thought "Well.. hmm.." It sort of leaves it open to cheat a little bit – it was OK. It did present problems shooting it because of the optical effects you had to achieve and how much movement you get in the camera of what can cross the frame so anything that has an optical in it creates a problem when physically shooting. So it wasn't that I didn't like so much, I just wasn't too sure of that as a gag. I didn't mind it that much, but it was OK, you know?
DVDActive: I noticed on the DVD there is some multi angle footage of the hovercraft scene and perhaps other scenes – were you involved with that in any way?
VA – Oh every shot of the hovercrafts I shot. What you'll see in the end result is that I'm probably running five cameras and we probably use one or two in a sequence so there's three other wild cameras. There's longer shots of helicopter approaches and all other stuff, so I'm very interested to see it myself, see what other angles they've put in there because I shoot things so you can cut them 10, 15 different ways and I use multi cameras because of the difficulty of doing a shot – it's a huge set up for one shot and if anything goes wrong you need to make sure you have captured it from one of the other angles.
DVDActive: If they came up to you and said "Do you want to do the next Bond?" would you leap at the chance or would you think "I've done a lot of Bonds – I want to make way for someone with perhaps a new perspective on things" ?
VA – No – I'd leap at it, I'd love it. Then I'd be petrified that we wouldn't come up with something new (laughs). It's the trepidation when you start a Bond – can we get an original story you know? But I do pick brains, and I ask all my mates and I go round and round and round and round – sleepless nights trying to come up with something each time. But yeah I'd jump at it cause I'm very proud of my association with Bond – goes back to 1966 as a ninja in those days sixty five pounds a week and now spending probably twenty million of their money you know? I'm very proud of my profession and I'd be heart broken not to do it – put it that way.
DVDActive: Ok.. one final question – who's your favourite Bond?
VA – (pauses) I think it's so difficult. I think Sean was great cause was the best, the first but I really do think Pierce has made the part his own I really do. And I was very impressed with his last one - he's really getting a hard edge and he's matured. He's just taken a little longer to mature than Sean Connery did. But I think as it stands at this moment, Pierce is.
DVDActive: I agree. Well thank you very much for your time.
VA – My pleasure.
DVDActive would like to thank Vic Armstrong and MGM for allowing us access to the Die Another Day DVD promotion and for their time throughout the day.
Die Another Day is now available to purchase on DVD from all good DVD retailers. Why not check out our review of this two disc release? Click here.

The state commission charged with awarding a casino license in Prince George's County will call for proposals at a meeting in Annapolis on Jan. 31.
Don Fry, the group's chairman, anticipates setting a due date in May and, depending on the number and nature of the applicants, awarding the license no later than the end of the year.
MGM Resorts, a partner in a proposed $800 million project to be built near National Harbor, will begin work on its proposal as soon as the request is made, spokesman Gordon Absher said.
Penn National, which bought Rosecroft Raceway with hopes of building a casino there, has yet to decide whether it will bid for the license, according to spokeswoman Karen Bailey. The Pennsylvania-based company owns Hollywood Casino in Perryville and to adhere to state law would need to submit a plan for divesting its share in that license if it moved forward with the Rosecroft bid.
Fry said the state commission, which was previously staffed by the department of legislative services but is now run through the Maryland Lottery and Gaming Control Agency, will conduct thorough background checks of all applicants and an analysis of each proposal.
"We feel we can do this a bit more expeditiously based on our experience doing it so far," Fry said. "But a lot depends on how many parties are involved."
MGM and Penn National waged a costly campaign last fall surrounding ballot question No. 7, which allowed the introduction of table games and the creation of the Prince George's license. Penn National spent more than $40 million on the losing cause and has since railed against what it called an "unseemly back-room deal with National Harbor" and said it believes Rosecroft will not have a fair shot at the license.
MGM and other backers of the National Harbor project accused Penn National of trying to sabotage the project because it will siphon profits from the Hollywood Casino in Charles Town, W.Va.

I have two questions about the BUBBLE TRAY snack...
The materials required in this snack include "Dawn" dishwashing liquid and
1. Can anyone recommend any other dishwashing liquid besides Dawn? (I'm in
Thunder Bay, Ontario, Canada and I'm not sure we get that detergent here).
2. The materials suggest that Glycerine is available in drug stores. In
what kind of packaging does glycerine come in? I'm just not sure what to
ask for.
Does anyone have any suggestions for other bubble solution?
Thanks for your help!
Denise in Thunder Bay
p.s. The Snackbook is fantastic!

State Troopers Urge Safety for Thanksgiving Holiday Travel
ATLANTA—The Georgia State Patrol is making final preparations for the Thanksgiving holiday travel period. The holiday period begins at 6 p.m. Wednesday, November 27 and ends at midnight Sunday, December 1. Colonel Mark W. McDonough, Commissioner of the Georgia Department of Public Safety, said Georgia State Troopers will patrol during the holiday period in an effort to keep the number of traffic crashes, injuries and fatalities as low as possible. "We know from past experience that speed, alcohol, and failing to use seat belts are the primary contributing factors in fatal crashes," he said.
Traffic is expected to be heavy on Georgia roads throughout the holiday weekend, so state troopers remind drivers to make safety a priority. Plan your trips carefully and allow plenty of time to reach your destinations. "Anticipate traffic delays due to volume or a crash that blocks travel lanes," Colonel McDonough said. "Also, be prepared should rain make driving conditions hazardous."
Last year during a similar 102-hour period, troopers investigated 682 traffic crashes across the state that resulted in 380 injuries and 11 fatalities. Statewide, law enforcement officers investigated a total 3,590 crashes that resulted in 1,161 injuries and 21 fatalities. The highest number of traffic deaths ever recorded for the Thanksgiving holiday period was 43 in 1969 and the lowest was four in 1949.
"Make sure everyone is buckled up and that children are properly restrained. Don't text and drive, obey the posted speed limit, and do not drive impaired. If you know that you will be consuming alcoholic beverages, plan ahead to have a designated driver," said the commissioner.
Troopers will be watching for impaired drivers. During last year's holiday period, 324 arrests were made for driving under the influence. "Enjoy the Thanksgiving holiday, but also know that if you drive impaired, you will go to jail and your vehicle will be impounded," Colonel McDonough said.
The Thanksgiving holiday period is also an Operation C.A.R.E. holiday where state law enforcement officers across the country join together for a concerted effort to encourage safe travel. The goal of Operation C.A.R.E., or Combined Accident Reduction Effort, is to reduce the number of crashes, injuries and fatalities on the nation's roads by balancing high visibility enforcement with educational outreach.
The holiday traffic count will again be updated throughout the holiday weekend on the Georgia Department of Public Safety Web site: http://dps.georgia.gov.

After the initial run of 4G capable devices were announced for the UK's one and only 4G LTE network, everything has been quiet on the hardware front. This has all changed today with the announcement of the HTC One SV, a new 4G phone that has to be headed to EE, purely because it has nowhere else to go.
EE already sells the HTC One XL along with several other top-of-the-range 4G smartphones, but its mid-range is sadly lacking, with only the Lumia 820 and Huawei Ascend P1 LTE offering high speed data on a tight budget. The One SV will certainly help diversify EE's range though.
It's equipped with a 4.3-inch, 480 x 800 pixel resolution touchscreen boasting a pixel density of 216ppi, while a 1.2GHz dual-core Snapdragon processor and 1GB of RAM powers the new device. Sadly, Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich is the standard operating system, complete with HTC Sense 4, with no word of an update to Android 4.1 in the future either.
There are two camera lenses, a 5-megapixel on the rear and a 1.6-megapixel on the front, the latter of which gets the same HTC ImageChip found on the One X+ to give those self-portraits a boost. The One SV has a total of 8GB internal storage memory, but there is a microSD card slot to increase this. Other features include Beats Audio, Bluetooth 4.0, an 1800mAh battery and 1080p video recording.
The One SV sits slightly below the One S in HTC's range, and is more inline with the Desire SV, which retains the 8-megapixel camera from the One S, but has a 1GHz processor instead. Set to be available in either blue or white, no price or exact release date for the One SV has been provided by HTC, and EE has so far kept quiet too, but we can expect more details in the coming weeks.
