The race to fill South Carolina's 1st Congressional District has gotten quite a bit of attention. Mostly because of the cast of politicians vying for the seat vacated when Tim Scott was appointed to Senate by Gov. Nikki Haley.
After a primary, yesterday, we're have a clearer picture of how the face-off will shape up during the May 7 special election: On the Democratic side, Elizabeth Colbert Busch, the sister of comedian Stephen Colbert, easily won her party's nomination.
Republican Mark Sanford, who stepped down from the Republican Governor's Association amid a 2009 cheating scandal, came in first, but failing to capture at least half of the vote, he's headed to a runoff election.
CNN reports second place is too close to call:
"'Are you guys ready to change things in Washington, D.C.?' Sanford said to supporters at his campaign headquarters in Charleston on Tuesday night. All four of his sons attended the party.
"'What we've earned is the honor of being on the playing field here for the next two weeks,' he added, asking the crowd to redouble their campaign efforts. "Indeed, we are at that tipping point."
"Late Tuesday night, roughly 400 votes separated the candidates in second and third place, and with some precincts not yet reporting and the possibility of a recount, it was not possible to project whether Charleston attorney Curtis Bostic or state Sen. Larry Grooms would make the runoff."
"My pledge is to you. You are my only cause. I will fight to improve your lives and the lives of your children," Colbert Busch told her supporters, according to The State.
Her brother hasn't commented on her victory. But during a interview with Jimmy Fallon before the election, he said he hoped that what he does "for a living doesn't sully her good name."
Sanford, whose affair with an Argentine woman became public when he went missing from his job, made some waves a earlier this month, when New York Magazine ran a profile of his ex-wife Jenny Sanford.
This is how the piece opens:
"According to Jenny, she had already told Mark she would be taking a pass on the race the day before, at the funeral of a mutual friend. So when Mark came to visit her, he arrived with a proposal. 'Since you're not running, I want to know if you'll run my campaign,' he said. 'We could put the team back together.'
"Jenny told him, in so many words, that wasn't going to happen. Mark made one last appeal.
"'I could pay you this time,' he said."

In a landmark decision, a Boston federal appeals court on Thursday declared the heart of the Defense of Marriage Act, called DOMA, unconstitutional. The 1996 law defines marriage as a union between a man and a woman.
The 3 judge panel of the 1st District Court of Appeals in Boston ruled unanimously that the law unconstitutionally discriminates against same-sex couples. The panel included two Republican appointees and it is the first time a federal appeals court has struck down parts of the gay marriage law.
Massachusetts Attorney General Martha Coakley, whose office filed the suit, hailed the decision, saying DOMA does damage to Massachusetts families every day: "We're aware of veterans who would not be able to be buried in a veterans cemetery with their loved one, their married partner. They are married under Massachusetts law. But for purposes of federal law they would not be considered married and not be able to be buried together. We have also seen couples who have been denied access to health care, social security and other survivor benefits."
The court didn't rule on a more politically explosive provision of DOMA, which says states without same sex marriage don't have to recognize same sex unions performed in states such as Massachusetts, where gay marriage is legal.
Still, Coakley called the ruling a big deal: "This is a great day for Massachusetts for civil rights and for all same sex couples in Massachusetts who are married or who will be."
But Kris Mineau of the Massachusetts Family Institute says liberal states like Massachusetts are trying to define marriage for the nation:
"This court has the audacity to hold the federal government hostage and demand the government recognize massachusetts' radical social experiment and bestow its benefits upon it."
The ruling is now expected to wind up before the Supreme Court.

Bringing Credit Options to Our Veterans
Althea Raiford retired from the Navy in 2010 and works in Maryland as a police officer. But every month she sends money home to Georgia to buy hogs, chickens and feed, some of which have been purchased at a discount through a network of veterans.
"We [veterans] are a family," said Raiford, who was able to connect with other veteran farmers to receive 20 chickens for free and purchase two hogs for $30 each to jumpstart an operation that she and her brother started in Georgia four years ago. "We take care of our family and we take care of it the best way we know how."
Raiford was one of nearly 40 veterans who traveled to Kearneysville, W.Va., on Oct. 10 to attend a symposium co-sponsored by the U.S. Department of Agriculture that provides veterans who have an interest in agriculture with financial and business planning information. Read more »

"These sandals look even cuter on, especially the cognac color! My feet are in between average width and wide, definitely not narrow or small feet and not exactly wide either. However, I found these sandals to be quite comfy and did not hurt my feet at all, especially since I did a lot of walking in them. My feet didn't look like they were being restrained, though when I took them off, there were just slight imprints from the sandal. Also, very easy to put on and take off with the back zipper."

Paul Bessire is one of the foremost authorities on mathematically modeling and analyzing all sports. For more than ten years since earning his Master's degree in Quantitative Analysis (with a focus on Finance and Sports), he has turned what was his longtime hobby of predicting and writing about sports outcomes into his full-time profession.
Over that time period, Paul has had great success, accurately choosing the against-the-spread winner in ten of the last 12 Super Bowls, correctly predicting 41 of 54 NFL playoff games against-the-spread since the PredictionMachine.com's launch and hitting more than 65% against-the-spread with Locks of the Week.
For the 2009 NFL season, Paul also bested over 100 professional prognosticators in the inaugural Richard Gardner Pro Football Pick'em contest.
PredictionMachine.com is Paul Bessire's latest endeavor, which features the Predictalator – the most in-depth, state-of-the-art sports prediction software ever created.
Before using statistics to forecast game outcomes professionally, Paul was always working on ways to apply the financial modeling and predictive methods he learned while graduating in Finance and Quantitative Analysis as an undergraduate student. A Master's degree in Quantitative Analysis, where Paul penned the thesis, Measuring Individual and Team Effectiveness in the NBA Through Multivariate Regression, led Paul away from the world of finance, to the interesting and ever-evolving world of sports analysis, where past performance can be more indicative of future outcomes and talking about the job is a lot more fun. Many of the same principles with which Paul excelled in school related to effective business and financial strategies have even stronger applications to sports.
Paul's expertise covers just about every major professional and collegiate sport including the NFL, college football, college basketball, MLB, NBA, NHL, seven international soccer leagues, PGA and poker (probably in that order). While he could rely on the numbers and do this job without ever watching a game, (much to the joy of his wife,) he watches and follows everything. With that expertise and knowledge also comes fantasy sports success, where Paul has also competed and advised as a fantasy "expert" in fantasy football, baseball and basketball as well as pick'em contests in every sport.
Paul is also currently an adjunct professor at the University of Cincinnati, acting as a professor of Bracketology in the Lindner College of Business and as a guest lecturer for Sports By the Numbers. Bracketology is a three week class around the NCAA tournament that focuses on the big business of collegiate athletics in addition to the statistical discussions around how to choose and seed the field as well as how best to fill out a bracket after the field is announced. During one eight hour class before Selection Sunday, groups of ten students form mock selection committees and go through the same process as the actual selection committee. In 2013, though the actual selection committee broke rules pertaining to regular season rematches in the second round and number of teams from the same conference within the same pod, none of the five mock selection committees in the class broke any of the committees rules.

Exercising the Right BIM Strategy for the Renovation
Exercising the Right BIM Strategy for the Renovation
With the help of BIM, collaborating designers and engineers can in short order make more informed and better coordinated decisions about to what extent a dysfunctional old building should be preserved, remedied or replaced.
Renovations are essentially the art of compromise. New space planning, lifestyles and work practices need to be fitted around existing load bearing structure and styles of a different era with elegance, efficiency and at minimal cost and inconvenience. In this article I will be discussing firstly the architectural issues of renovation and then how BIM facilitates the methods of documenting and dealing with these issues.
Reasons to Renovate
There are several reasons driving a decision to renovate old inadequate or dysfunctional buildings in preference to demolition and new construction. The following list gives the main reasons that come to mind but is by no means exhaustive:
- Preserving heritage buildings
- Modernising outdated buildings
- Upgrades to reduce energy costs
- Conserving resources through reuse
- Alterations with changed use
- Alterations with building extensions
- Alternative to new construction for lower building cost
While a renovation usually involves more than one of these motivations, it is important to understand which is the primary driver in order to adopt the right strategy for the renovation.
The preservation of historical or heritage buildings has become a strong priority around the world since the building booms of the 70's and 80's obliterated much of the old inner city building stock. This is frequently enforced through town planning conditions on redevelopment projects. It rarely leads to reduced building costs, and usually involves stringent conditions of approval, where very thorough and detailed documentation is required. These often include requirements to replicate the original building methods, fixings, and colour schemes in restoration work. Conversely new additions in many cases have to be distinctly differentiated to avoid confusion as to what is genuinely historic. New extensions also sometimes have to have reversible connections to the old, i.e. which do not mar the original building fabric if the new extension should eventually be removed. Figure 1 shows one such design solution. In this case the added awnings were not allowed to obstruct the view of the building above.
When an old building has no historical significance and no redeeming aesthetic qualities, but has a sound structure, a decision is sometimes made to renovate and modernise its appearance, usually in conjunction with changes to the internal functional planning. The assumption behind this decision is often that this is a cheaper alternative to new construction, but the need for continuous occupation could also be a major factor. Below Figures 1, 2 and 3 show various stages of one such house renovation.
Our increasing awareness of sustainability issues has for many years now been driving a wave of building renovations with the aim of upgrading to reduce energy costs and eliminate adverse health issues. This often involves a strong focus on increased insulation, resolving damp-proofing issues, providing adequate ventilation, replacing and improving building service runs, and replacing components found to be toxic.
Sustainability through recycling is increasingly becoming a strong motivation for renovations in order to limit the dependence on new building materials. However, reuse of building materials, while lowering the cost to the environment, will almost always lead to higher labour costs and need to be carefully evaluated as to the net benefit before going down this path.
The first and greatest challenge when undertaking a renovation is the unknown and hidden condition of the existing building. Over time all buildings deteriorate, and all old buildings can be expected to have deteriorating drainage, plumbing, and electrical service runs that need replacing. A cursory inspection would also easily reveal sagging or cracking structure, either due to inadequate bracing, or foundation movement. Such issues are fairly easy to predict and budget for in the renovation program.
However, a building that at first may appear sound will, once a renovation gets underway, almost inevitably reveal latent problems that are costly to rectify. Such hidden issues are often specific to particular climate zones and building vernaculars.
In Cold and Temperate Climate Zones some of the more common old building problems are:
Poor insulation, draughty windows and doors, incorrectly placed vapour barriers in walls and roofs causing ice build up in wall framing, inadequate ventilation or damp proofing giving rise to mould growth, spalling concrete beams and columns because of rusting reinforcement. Copied from Architectural Evangelist.

Its all merely a rumor at this point anyway..
Having said that, some McQuaid involvement in EQN does make this already controversial title even moreso, I dig it.
they should call the game "Everquest Free"
it rhymes with everquest 3
its free to play
its a sandbox which emphasizes player freedom.
can we get a forum now? lol.

Originally posted by rungard
Smed? Georgenson? Aradune? anyone?were in dire need of a detail...any detail.....
my ideas for an EQ next item system.
My idea expands on the item system in daoc where a quality number was used and the items degraded with use.
Items come in a quality range of 0-100 and also have a durability range. Higher quality items have an inherant higher durability. Quality also affects the power of the stats so a 100% item might have the total listed stats, where anything less would be equivilant to the overall percentage. 99% is 1% less at everything.
in addition items come in different types as follows according to their quality.
Cracked Items: Items such as cracked swords are the most common type of drop. These items come in the range of 0-50 quality and can be improved by a crafter up to 75 Quality regardless of the starting condition. These items can have up to 2 gem slots, 2 stat modifier, 1 resistance and 1 "ability". Neither the gem slots nor any ability can be used until the item is restored by a crafter, which requires materials.
Flawed items: This is a higher quality than cracked items. Flawed items start at 75-85 quality and can be improved up to 5 points (90 max). These items have up to 3 gem slots, up to 2 stat modifiers, 2 resistance and up to 1 ability.
Cursed items: Cursed items are items confer some negative stat or condition onto the player. EQ1 had these in a limited sence though they were scarce. I would take this to the next level. Cursed items would come at the 85-94 quality range, would have up to 4 gem slots, 3 stat modifier, 2 resistance and for every ability, it would also have a negative condition modifier. The cursed item could be "decursed" by magical traqdeskill classes, at the cost of abilities. If you equip a cursed item you cannot un-equip it until its been decursed. (Remember the bone bladed claymore that reduced your dexterity from befallen). These items cannot be improved.
Pristine Items: These items come in the range of 95-98% and require no intervention on the part of a crafter to "fix" it. These items come with 4 gem slots , 4 stat modifier, 3 resistance and up to 2 ability powers.
legendary items: Legendary items come in a quality range of 99-99.999% and can have up to 5 gem , 5 stat modifier slots, 4 resistance and 2 ability powers. Legendary items decay at 1/3 the rate of pristine items.
God items: These items have 100% quality 5 gem slots, 5 modifier, 5 resistance and up to 3 ability powers. These items degrade at a rate of 1/10 that of a pristine item.
Crafted items: Crafted items come in the exact same configuration as the item types above with similar probababilities to obtain. In addition to mundane items and parts needed for recipes, the chance for an item is conditional on the parts used. For instance if a legendary item is salvaged, when you create a new item you have a higher chance to get a legendary or god item. There are no hard failures, but cracked, flawed and cursed are considered failed combines, where pristine, legendary and god are considered successes.
For any particular item type you could potentially get any one of these of the above item types when an item is dropped. The chance of each item is dependant on the quality of the item and the mob difficulty. Dungeon bosses and raid mobs have the same difficulty rating and thus the same drop chance. ( raids would also give guild rewards). The difference is that dungeons would only have a few bosses, where every raid mob would be considered a boss mob (same chance, higher frequency).
Gem Slots: All items in the game would be capable of putting in gem slots, which the player can choose to put in in the item. Gems can be interchanged by any player but are affected by the quality of the item. Gems could be found with magical properties but also can be crafted.
Stat modifiers: these are unique to the drop and cannot be changed by the player.
Ability: This is an actual ability such as a "positive proc" that fires off in combat, or a usable ability.
curse: This can be either a stat modifier, negative proc (proc a disease on yourself, or a constant condition). Cursed items have an equal amount of negative and positive abilities and when the item is decursed both the positive and negative abilities are removed. There is a remote chance that 1 ability will be kept.
within the probabilities for each category there are sub probabilities. For instance on a pristine item you have a certain chance to get that, but there are also chances that you will get X gemslots , X stats slots, X resistance and X ability slots. Just because the item is pristine, only gives you a higher chance of getting the best possible pristine. The exception is god items which are always at the max.
so if there was a 5% chance of getting a pristine item, theres also a 50% chance youll get 3 slots and a 50% chance youll get 4 slots. This is applicable to all attributes in an item based on the max available.
For all items the power curve remails low. God items are only 1% more effective in raw power than legendary items ( not including the extra stat slots)
thats what i would like to see.
i'd like to see a press release or screenshot, personally.

Well EQNext could never be. Sony is in dire straights, soon to be in bancruptcy court. Pieces and parts will get sold off.
Who knows what will happen to SOE and EQnext, MMO's take a long time to make and are expensive, especially sand box ones. I very much doubt SOE is very profitable right now. Might not ever see a PS4, as they cannot afford to sell it for less than cost, when in bankruptcy that is a big no no.
the ev erquest franchise IP is still worth a ton of money even if they get sold off it will get made.

HOUSTON (AP) — Texans running back Arian Foster left Sunday's 23-6 loss to the Minnesota Vikings with an irregular heartbeat.
"I'll be OK," Foster said. "It's a very minor situation, so I'll be OK."
TEXANS: Houston upset by Vikings
Foster, the team's leading rusher, left the game after gaining 15 yards on 10 carries. He also had two catches for 14 yards. His last play came with about nine minutes left in the third quarter.
Ben Tate took over after Foster left the game.
Coach Gary Kubiak said Foster had experienced the problem once before in practice.
"He calms down and he's fine," Kubiak said.
The medical staff told Kubiak that Foster was OK late in Sunday's game and could return. But Kubiak thought it would be best to give him the rest of the game off.
"I know they're on top of it and he's feeling fine," Kubiak said.

Comments about Retexturizing Treatment Pads for Face, 10% Glycolic-60 ct:
This is a great product. I have been using it for a little over a month and I see improvements in my skin. The biggest improvement is that texture of my skin is smoother. I have noticed that my pigmentation has lightened somewhat. Although it usually does during winter so I don't know if it's entirely due to the pads. I don't have many wrinkles but I don't believe this product alone could erase fine lines. This is a great product to use in conjunction with other products. You can't expect this to be a miracle item. You still need to cleanse, hydrate, exfoliate, etc.
The main reason why I come back to this particular brand is because the pads are generously moistened. There is enough to swipe my entire face twice. I swipe my neck area, and even the back of my hands.

Comments about Retexturizing Treatment Pads for Face, 10% Glycolic-60 ct:
As one who was looking for a new solution instead of costly monthly peels, this has definitely controlled my breakouts and works as a skin brightner. It works well to get rid of post-pimple blemishes (which I had when I started using this product). As the tougher pigmented areas, I'm not sure, only been using it for a month but happy enough to buy again.

DissapointedThis flat iron did make my hair very smooth as an end result, but I was very disappointing over all. Compared to other wet to dry flat irons, it does not hold a candle in speed or efficiency. It did not seem to get very hot, even on the highest setting, and I had to still blow dry my roots at the end of the tedious process. Unless you have thinner hair, and frizz reduction is your main priority, go with a different option.Feb 12, 2015KittyHAIR TYPELight Brown / Color Treated Hair / Thick or Coarse Hair

This Flat Iron Made Me Love My Long Hair AgainI have ridiculously long hair. Over the years I've become accustomed to letting it air-dry overnight so I don't have to spend an hour air-drying it, 30 minutes blow-drying it, then another 20 straightening/styling it. When my old straightener broke, I decided to try a wet-to-dry iron. The results have been better than I could have ever hoped.
It takes maybe 20 minutes to get my hair from sopping wet to dry (dry enough, anyway. Bone-dry takes about 30 minutes). And unlike a blow dryer, it's quiet, so I can watch TV or something while doing my hair.
I've been styling my hair every day for the past two weeks, and I just love doing it now! This flat iron makes my hair look the way it does when I go to the salon. I've had nothing but good hair days since buying this flat iron.
I was planning to chop my hair super-short this summer, but now that I've got this flat iron, maybe I'll wait another year or so, until I get bored of it... if I ever get bored!May 22, 2012Paige / BC, CanadaHAIR TYPEBlonde / Normal Hair

DisappointedI was super excited to receive this iron--based on previous reviews--but was very disappointed by the actual results. I tried it both Wet and Dry.
I have never used a Wet Iron before, so I can't compare to other brands...but it didn't do much of anything. I think using a blow dryer and then regular straightening iron (as I normally do) would take the same, if not less, time.
Nevertheless, if it did well as a dry-iron, I would have been satisfied. But, honestly, it did just as good of job as my $30 Hot Tools ceramic iron. My hair is wavy and slightly thick, and I had to go over it many times. I can't imagine it working well on very curly or coarse hair! One thing I like is that it didnt make my hair fall flat, as some irons do.Jun 30, 2011Jen / BaltimoreHAIR TYPEDark Brown / Normal Hair

Flat Iron With All The Best Qualities!I LOVE this flat iron. I have frizzy hair with a thin hair shaft. The wind makes my hair frizz! But with this flat ion, it stays straight and it looks shiny and feels smooth, without breakage! Several days ago was the test, the humidity was over 90% and my hair stayed pretty darn straight, the best it's ever looked on a rainy, humid day. Since I have been using it, I've received many compliments about how healthy my hair looks. It's definitely worth the price, you won't be sorry.Apr 30, 2011MarieHAIR TYPELight Brown / Dry Hair / Curly Hair / Color Treated Hair / Fine or Thin Hair

A Must Have WowLike other have stated this is the best flat iron ever. I have used so many other brands and this one is just the best. There is no comparison to other flat irons. This iron does not pull my hair and it truly leaves my hair straight and silky soft. I love the features and the temp control. this is a must have iron I also bought the Turbo Power dryer 4000 it is also an incredible dryer.Apr 16, 2011Cris

Best. Flatiron. Ever.I just bought this to replace a Croc wet-to-dry iron. I have used every brand under the sun - chi, T2, Croc, Solia, GHD, etc. This is by far the best flat iron I have used. It has cut my ironing time in half. It is fast, It does not tug or pull my hair. It gets out the toughest little kinks which other flatirons could never get quite straight. It makes my hair very shiny, smooth and frizz-free.
I have shoulder length, coarse, very wavy hair that has a mind of its own and this works like magic.Jan 28, 2011Carol / SacramentoHAIR TYPEDark Brown / Dry Hair / Curly Hair / Color Treated Hair / Thick or Coarse Hair

Wonderful :)I was pretty skeptical about this flat iron because I've never heard of this brand before, but the reviews posted were very positive and provocative so I gave it a shot and made the purchase. It's smaller than I than imagined (actually, I think it's a bit smaller than usual for a one-inch), but it's also VERY light weight, which is a huge plus for me. It does glide through hair very smoothly as well! Really, my hair looks so much healthier, although my dead ends are more evident now. Still, the rest of my hair (minus my already-damaged ends) looks great, even less frizzy and more flat than before. LOVE IT. It goes from 200-450 degrees Fahrenheit, but you can only choose temperatures at every fifty degrees (i.e. 200, 250, 300, etc.) Not really a downside since I only need the highest setting. Really satisfied with it so far :)Dec 27, 2010Jay / CaliforniaHAIR TYPEMedium Brown / Dry Hair / Curly Hair / Color Treated Hair / Thick or Coarse Hair

The Best You Can Get!I agree with the first poster!!!! I cannot believe that Forma doesn't have more reviews. I started using this flat iron after my T3 broke and I decided to replace it with the exact one my stylist uses. I don't know why I didn't make the switch sooner. I have had many high end irons and this blows all the rest out of the water.Aug 14, 2010Kristy B. / ChicagoHAIR TYPEBlonde / Thick or Coarse Hair

Highly Recommended!I found out about this iron because my hairdresser used it in the salon. I made sure I got the same exact one. You know that if they use it in the salon it's got to last long and endure all types of hair. I have long, thick, wavy hair and it straightens it perfectly and makes it silky smooth. And I've been through many many irons (Helen of Troy, Blue Sapphire, Hot Tools, CHI, Bion Japanese) and this is by far the best. The only thing I didn't like about it is that when I took it to London with me and plugged it into the US>UK adapter it blew out and I needed to get it replaced. But I wrote the company and they replaced it for free. Good customer service. Highly recommended! I felt bad for the Forma not having any reviews, so I will be the first!Apr 2, 2010Heather / Illinois

lots of things..
lots of things..
Listen to what Im thinking..
Thinking of what to do when I get fired form work, I feel that my days at work are slowly coming to an end. I strongly think, this month will give the answer.
Whatever happens, Ill be greatful for having spent 19 years in this work, but, I feel sad, as, in order to keep my job I have to say yes to huge salary reduction that I have already denied.
Colleagues having already accepted, are now in the 6th !!!!! salary reduction and now take 300-400 euros and its not sure that they will get the money, cause in the name of crisis every employer says he has no money..
Question number 1: Why dont employers close their companies but still keep on working, making (more) money using their employees to work for free, since they do not pay them?
Question number 2: Why does not the state do something to prevent all these, but, instead, make laws that only protect employers?
Question number 3: When an employer is always late/never paying employees and is totally protected by the state? Where on earth will I ever find/lend the money the company owes me and pay my rent/my milk, my food..
Question number 4: My parents pension salary has been reduced to 350 euros from 800 that it was.. How on earth will I be able to keep on helping them, since I can not help myself?
Question number 5: Last time I got some money, was 3,5 months ago..They have also put me so much more work and also have asked me to accept a reduce salary, the moment I do not even get paid!!!
This is happening for 2 years now. Is this strategy correct from the government to help!!!! as it says Greece stand on its feet again???
p.s. The employer - TV Radio Media - owner I work for, is one of the richest in Greece.
These are on my mind, friends and I would really love to listen to anything you may have to add on all these..

Olga - I know it must be so, so difficult for you and it is definitlysomething the government should take steps to correct. I know here in the US people will often complain about how the government is all about the big companies, but in reality we have many laws and programs in place that protect the worker - especially regarding pay and employment opportunities. I used to be a Human Resources Manager, so I am very familiar with these laws and with how much trouble an employer can get into if they are not followed. While laws like these will not prevent an economic crisis, they may make it a little gentler and easier to handle. I wish you luck and hope things turn around for you and all of Greece very soon.

olga-sorry to hear things in greece are so bad right now..hope things get better for you and your country...its a tough world we live in right now..here in britain things are not great either..they say we are out of the recession...but i think not..we will be like this for many years to come..its hard right now and its going to get harder..keep your chin up my friend...

I've added Appendix A - Differences between Python 2 and 3 and Appendix B - Statements, Functions, and Methods Reference to the book. Quite a few people who have emailed me seem to be confused that the programs are in Python 3 (except for the Pygame programs, which are in Python 2). There aren't that many differences, and I've outlined them in Appendix A. Appendix B is a handy and quick guide to all the functions used in the book.

Thanks so much for making your work available! I'm brand new to programming, except for TI:Basic, and you're book looks great. I noticed you didn't have a lot of comments, so I thought I'd tell you how cool your project is :)
Thanks again.
Thanks a lot for the code. My elder son started programming lately. I't a good starting point to learn python.

Final: Lakers 101, Mavericks 81
LOS ANGELES -- On a night when the Lakers' winning heritage was celebrated with the retirement of Shaquille O'Neal's No. 34 jersey, hope for their current disappointing season was kept alive with a 101-81 victory over the Dallas Mavericks.
The Lakers were led Tuesday night by O'Neal's longtime co-star, Kobe Bryant ... still in his Staples Center home, still performing as a leading man at the same age as the number on O'Neal's old uniform.
Bryant played all but the final 55 seconds -- his second consecutive game playing nearly all 48 minutes after not doing so in six years. He controlled everything for a Lakers team missing point guard Steve Nash with a strained right hamstring. Playing one of his best defensive games of the season with consistent activity, two blocks and four steals, Bryant had 23 points, 11 assists and 11 rebounds.
The effort delivered a possible death blow to a Dallas team trying to steal the eighth and final Western Conference playoff berth away form the Lakers or Utah. Dallas is now two games behind the Lakers and Jazz, who are tied at 39-36.
In a recorded video message played at O'Neal's halftime ceremony, Bryant said: "I know you've played for other organizations, but you'll always be truly remembered playing for one." Phil Jackson, whom the Lakers interviewed for his old job in their awkward process before hiring Mike D'Antoni in November, spoke warmly about O'Neal and heard cheers and chants on a strange but winning night for the Lakers.
O'Neal said a lot before the game to downplay the "beef" that he and Bryant had as Lakers teammates, citing "a million good times and a thousand bad times." O'Neal said his critical comments about current Lakers center Dwight Howard are meant to pass on the motivation given him in the past by Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and other Lakers greats.
"He has the potential to be one of the greatest big men ever, but he has to want it," O'Neal said.

The MECCA bike club held their spring ride recently headquartered in Green River. The Green River motels and restaurants gave special discounts to the more than 100 riders who participated in the event. The bike festival is in its 26th year.
The festival began with a kick-off dinner at the John Wesley Powell museum in Green River. Prize drawings were also held and big winners of the new bikes were Ruby Winter of Salt Lake and Matt Cheney of Salt Lake.
The bikes were contributed by Deckers Bicycle and Cannondale.
The rides were spread throughout the Swell and were geared to all riding abilities. The spring festival is a family event and many groups were out enjoying the spring weather in Emery County. Organizers want to thank all who helped and who rode along to help with any breakdowns and repairs and to pick-up any stragglers along the routes.
Many of the participants camped in the Swell and others enjoyed the amenities back in Green River. MECCA is looking forward to the Fall Festival which is held Sept. 28-30 at the Wedge.
The club takes good care of their riders and on Friday night a Spaghetti dinner was provided from the Tamarisk Restaurant; Smoke and Spice held a BBQ on the Swell on Saturday Night. Sunday Morning breakfast at the Tamarisk and Sunday Morning continental breakfast by the Coffee Shop in Green River. The Search and Rescue also provided their services to keep track of all the riders. The rides can vary from eight-20 miles. Beginners can stop whenever they want.

Netbait BK Swimbait 5pk
Netbait has broken into the swimbait market with the BK Swimbait. This bait is fashioned after the ever popular tube style swimbaits that have become the hot, have to have bait. The BK swimbait features a belly slit that enables you to fish up to a 4/0 weighted hook. The solid head section of the BK swimbait will hold up to the vicious strikes these swimbaits will draw while the mid back through the tail are hollow allowing for easy hook penetration and excellent swimming action.

Customer Reviews
Comments: Just started experimenting with swimbaits and I purchased these and a few strike king swimbaits. The netbaits are far better for hook sets and durability. I will definitely be buying more.
From: Tony: Manitowoc, WI 5/24/15
Comments: This swimbait with out a doubt is very durable, and when thrown on heavy jigs has a nice action. But i was a little unhappy with the action on lighter alabama rigs and single swimbait set ups. I would much rather fish a skinny dipper or zoom paddle tail fluke. That being said, it is still a good durable bait for the money.
From: Parker: Fort Wayne, IN 1/12/15
Comments: Best swimbait in its class. Best action, very durable and the fish crush these things. You won't be disappointed.
From: Cory: Mandan, ND
Comments: Best Swimmer for your $$$$
From: Rusty: TX, where else?
Comments: Great swimbait the tail is constantly wobbling so that means you don't have to jerk it to get it to wobble again and plus the durability is GREAT I use it as a trailer for a swimjig it is the perfect size to go on the back!!
Comments: Can you say Alabama Rig?
From: Matt: Chapel Hill, TN
Comments: My favorite swimbait. I've tried the SK and Yum versions and they don't even come close to this one. The large tail creates a big wobble throughout the whole bait. I usually can catch about 5-6 fish on one bait before it tears using a springlock hook
From: Henry: Chicago, IL
Comments: this is the best swimbait on the market, i have caught 10 fish on one bait before
From: Derek: Waco, TX
Comments: Best swimbait on the market, whether slow rolled or fast retrieve. They also work well when used as a jerk bait. I use a 5/0 weighted hook for best results on the 4" size. The tail is much larger than any other swimbait on the market, capped with the slim body design, with the slit in the belly makes for an awesome bait. Try them, you will not be disappointed, they will catch fish, & lots of them on a single bait. Have caught smallies, large mouth, northern pike, & even pickerel, on a single bait.
From: Dennis: Canada
Comments:I have used many of the swimbaits on the market. I have had trouble with all most every brand that I have tried. They want to spin around and around. This bait is the only one that I have found that will not spin. I used the 5 inch size and the silver shad color and they work absolutely perfect. They don't spin no matter how fast you reel. Their tails are wider and the body is slimmer that other swimbaits and this is the reason they work so good. By the way, they will catch fish. I like to slow crank them allowing them to touch the bottom every now and then. Try them, you won't be disappointed.

charged exactly what they quoted
Great customer service and very happy with the end result. Very professional, well presented and friendly company, great communication throughout the day, work was done sooner than expected. Trusted the guy that picked my car up as soon as I met him. Was even more impressed when found out that they don't usually cater to my postcode area (Veterans Village Manchester M40) but were willing to be flexible. Will definitely be recommending B and G Autotechs and will definitely be doing business with them again. Thank you very much.
Service was great. Would reccomend
great job,highly recommended
Very helpful and great service. Would definitely use again
good and cheap service. Got MOT done for £27.5. I gave 4 star as I had to wait 2 and half hours.
Very pleased with the overall experience, excellent customer service and very well priced for a quality garage.
The price was very good for a dealership. I thought to myself when they get my car in thet will tell me it needs loads of work doing it, this is exactly what happened. I ended up having a new battery and having some pipe replaced that had split in the engine. I was quoted £103.00 for the original job and i ended up paying £228.00.
More than happy, very helpful
Excellent, professional, friendly service. No hidden costs. Will definitely use their services again. Highly recommended. Nice cuppa also!

SXSW News: Soundgarden to perform "Superunknown," Lady Gaga plans botched
Seattle grunge act Soundgarden will celebrate the 20th anniversary of their most successful album, "Superunknown," by performing the collection in its entirely for the first time ever later this month.
The established alt-rockers, helmed by Chris Cornell, will tackle the entire chart-topping effort during a March 13 appearance at the iTunes Festival, which is a part of the 27th annual South by Southwest Music, Film and Interactive Conference (SXSW).
The concert will take place at Austin's ACL Live at Moody Theater, which hosts the famed "Austin City Limits" music program on PBS affiliates nationwide. The concert will also stream live via the iTunes store, as well as the iTunes Festival app.
Other acts performing at the iTunes Festival at SXSW include Coldplay, Pitbull, Keith Urban, Willie Nelson and Imagine Dragons.
In other SXSW-related news, Lady Gaga's plan to perform at the Doritos Stage at SXSW has failed due to a denied city permit.
"Our conclusion was based primarily on public safety concerns," said Don Pitts, manager of the City of Austin Music & Entertainment division, told Austin360. "We look at the size and capacity of the location covered by the permit being sought and how it fits with the anticipated attendance, based on event capacity and promotion. At the end of the day, it's a parking lot."
The denied permit for the oversized vending machine stage doesn't mean Gaga won't appear. Pitts also said the city would support relocation to a venue with a more appropriate infrastructure for the size of the expected crowd, though no specific spot has been confirmed.

"The shoe looked great, but it was uncomfortable/too tight for me where it comes to a point in the toes. I don't like that in general though so if that doesn't bother you, then this shoe would work. Fit me well other than that."

|In response to Re: Bathtub Drain Test?
: I am trying to sell a home that an inspector says has a slow tub drain. It doesn't seem slow to me. Is there any standard test that can be used to provide an impartial result such as how long it would take to drain 10 gallons of water for example?
Yes, Jim there is a "Standard"
A fixture unit is 7.48 gallons a bath tub is equal to TWO FU's (11/2" trap)
A fixture unit is the amount of water that can drain/fill in a given amount of time.
Normally a basin is considered ONE FU and its should take about ONE minute to drain THUS a TWO fixture unit should take about two minutes to drain.
If it gurgles try getting the drain line water jetted to remove build up soap scum.
Believe it or not plumbing is a science.

The Dinks
Show type: Edinburgh Fringe 2003
Three knuckleheads stuck together in a yard. The blind leading the blind through a tunnel at night. Yah and the tunnel is flooded see.
, Dan Antopolski
, Tony Law
Original Review:
Dan Antopolski is something of a cult festival favourite, a comic with a dedicated fan base (and possibly an even greater number of detractors) and a Perrier nomination to his name.
So it could be construed as something of a comedown for him to be here as part of a three-hander, sharing the limelight with the criminally underrated Craig Campbell and the quirkily inventive Tony Law.
But, in fact, it proves the perfect vehicle, the discipline of working with the two Canadians reigning in his self-indulgent tendencies, and the collaboration producing a more rounded comedy than any of them alone would have created.
The very loose premise of this is that Antopolski is a dry, cynical Englishman who fell to earth in America's Deep South following a plane crash. He shacked up with Campbell, a foaming at the mouth, Grizzly Adams-style madman, and the adventure-seeking Law, with whom he's lived happily... until the day an alien contingent lands down the road.
Initially, there's a very Groucho Marxist feel to the proceedings, as the fast-talking trio exchange silly and punny wisecracks. It occasionally veers towards the annoying - just like the original backchats - but there are some truly brilliant gags there.
But as the show progresses, the humour turns more slapstick and visual, too, taking a few musical detours en route. Stylistically, there's something for everyone, culminating in a marvellously silly alien dance.
Sometimes it loses its way, occasionally gags are forced beyond their breaking point, and there are practical problems too. Pleasance Above is not the best venue in which to be performing on low-lying deckchairs, as half the audience have a real strain to see, and a scene performed in almost total darkness drifts towards the baffling as it's near-impossible to figure out exactly what's going on.
But for every flaw there's at least two stunning jokes to compensate. When the show is weak, it's still adequate, and when it's good, it's very, very good. And who knows when you'll have the chance to see three acts who complement each other so perfectly working together again?

Andy Rowe - 07/01/2004
Brilliant, brilliant show. It took a lot of brains to come up with a show that's so different to anything at thr fringe. It was totally stupid and you just didnt know what the hell was going to happen next. Cracker
Paul Vittles - 18/08/2003
I wondered what Dan would do after his 2002 Edinburgh performance which was not up to the usual standard. I think The Dinks was a great move, a very funny show, and Antopolski back to his best. What can we expect next year - a double act with the rising star that is Tony Law or something totally different?
Ro - 12/08/2003
The Dinks is at once ingenious and daft, resulting in a gloriously refreshing Fringe experience. IThree incredibly inventive comics playing silly buggers to awesome effect. See it.
Spike Drink - 07/08/2003
They failed miserably in transposing their North American humour to UK - too busy laughing at their own jokes to notice the audience weren't. Playing the stupid guy from North America isn't original - it's a social comment and not a work of fiction.

Edmonton's Brock Davidiuk retires from national teamOTTAWA – After 12 seasons with the Canadian national program, Brock Davidiuk of Edmonton has announced his retirement from Team Canada's men's volleyball team.
"My time with the Canadian team was an incredible ride," said Davidiuk, 29. "To have set my mind to something from a young age and then accomplish it brings me great personal pride."
Davidiuk first wore the Maple Leaf in 2002 as a member of the Junior National Team that won gold at the 2002 NORCECA Junior Championship in Kelowna, BC. The following year, he returned to selection camp and was once again named to Junior National Team roster that finished 9th at the 2003 World Junior Championship in Iran
He then competed for the Senior National Team for the first time in 2004 and was an integral part for the rest of his career. As captain of the 2009 squad, he led his team to a berth in the 2010 FIVB World Championship in Italy at the NORCECA World Championship Qualification tournament.
In 2011, he helped the earn a berth for the 2012 World League Qualification tournament through finishing 3rd at the 2011 Pan Am Cup in Gatineau, QC. Canada eventually made the World League tournament for the first time in five years.
''The experience with Team Canada and the people I met have shaped me as a person and for that I'm grateful,'' he said.
He played at both the collegiate and university level, he was first a member of the Red Deer College Kings with fellow national team member Nicholas Cundy. While at Red Deer College he won two CCAA Championship as well as received numerous awards such as CCAA Academic All-Canadian, CCAA Championship MVP and finally athlete of the year. Davidiuk was also as successful with the University of Alberta Golden Bears as he won the CIS Championship, was named CIS All-Canadian, CIS Championship MVP and Athlete of the Year.
Following his collegiate and university career, Brock joined Team Canada's Full-Time Training Centre in Winnipeg where he trained for the year prior to being selected to the FISU team that finished second at the 2007 Universiade Games in Bangkok, Thailand, tying Canada's best finish ever at these Games
Davidiuk concluded his career with 41 international matches for Team Canada, while also playing professional volleyball overseas for a number of years. He will now direct his energy to his company Grass Roots Volley that focuses on running position and skill specific clinic for volleyball athletes in Alberta.
''I'd like to thank all my teammates,'' he said. ''And through the years all those behind the scenes. And I'd also like to thank my unwavering number-one fans and lifeline through it all, Mom and Dad.''

Local horse trainer is number one
The Utah Horse Council holds an Horse Expo every year in March at the Salt Lake County Equestrian Center. The highlight of the Expo is the Utah Horse Trainers Challenge. The Horse Council accepts applications from anyone in the nation every year in December. They select approximately 20 competitors to come to Ogden in January. The competitors complete an interview process and compete in a Western Riding/Trail Pattern class. The field is narrowed to eight competitors who then have an opportunity to work an untrained colt in a round pen for 20 minutes while they explain their process and philosophies to the crowd via microphone.
The field is once again narrowed to four competitors and the competitors are given a two year old colt to train for 60 days. At the end of the 60 days, the competitors bring the colt to the Horse Expo. At the Expo they have the opportunity to showcase the work they have done on their colt in the short amount of time. All trainers have 30 minutes to demonstrate their process and the achievements of the colt in four categories -- Ranch Riding, Trail, Cow Work, and a Freestyle competition.
The competitors conduct "mini clinics" in each of these areas in front of the Expo crowd. They also field questions from the audience and perform a final timed challenge. The colts are then auctioned off.
Kirk Christiansen from Emery had the opportunity to compete with three other great horse trainers from Utah and Wyoming. Kirk took home the title this year to add to his other accomplishments in the horse world.
Christiansen is the son of Ken and Earlene Christiansen of Emery. Kirk is the second of six kids. They were taught to trust in God, work hard and set goals. They were raised on a cow-calf operation that summered in the Manti LaSal National Forest.
Although they farmed, it was very evident that Kirk's love was the horses that helped them to manage the cow herd, while some of his siblings preferred the farming. From an early age, Kirk rode the horses that nobody else wanted to ride.
He soon discovered that he could accomplish much with a "problem" horse. He began starting colts for others as young as 14 years old.
Twenty-two years later, and now 36, Kirk is raising his five kids much the same way as he was raised, and in the same beautiful place. Kirk and his wife Mistie own and operate K&M Training and Ranch just one block south of where he grew up in Emery.
They feel blessed to teach their children valuable life lessons from horseback behind a herd of cows. Although Kirk has had many accomplishments of his own on horseback, his greatest happiness comes as he coaches his children to succeed in and out the arena. They are all on their way to becoming amazing horsemen.
Kirk works daily on improving his ability to listen and communicate with the horse. He is grateful that he can make a living doing what he loves and building on his God-given talent of horsemanship. He knows that true horsemanship is a journey and loves every step of the trail.
Kirk is happy to be a full time trainer and has been involved in many competitions throughout the years. He has competed in Extreme Trail Challenges, Colt starting, reined cow horse, roping, versatility ranch horse, Extreme mustang makeovers.
He has won the 2011 Supreme Mustang Makeover Idols Champion, 2011 impact of Horse Reserve Champion, 2012 Utah Horse Trainers Challenge third place; 2012 Supreme legends- fifth place; 2012 Impact Reserve, 2013 Utah Horse Trainers Challenge second place; 2012 Extreme Trail Challenge Champion, 2013 Hutchings Invitation Trail Champion and junior horse champion.
Kirk is also the Emery High wrestling coach and travels with the wrestlers to many tournaments during the season and the off season to help them develop their wrestling skills.
Kirk is a skilled horse trainer and also a real people person. He draws horses as well as people to him with his kind and loving personality and manner.
