Rarely are minimal beats as warm as they are on Spider Smile, the sixth album from duo Bernd Jestram and Ronald Lippok, veterans of the East Berlin avant-garde post-rock scene. The beats are tasteful and agreeable, rejecting sterility and never calling attention to themselves. They and the lyrics are distant and detached, and a broad swath of melodic instruments fill out haunting electronic spoken-word pop. The lyrics, which appear on a handful of tracks, are in a glibly British and Germanic monotone, knowing and straightforward. The vocals serve more as a rhythm instrument than a melodic feature.
The eerie melody line of standout track "Lower Manhattan Pantoum" perfectly suits the mysterious lyrics. New Yorkers amassed on the sidewalk, gazing upward: "Always a bad sign/ People on the sidewalk looking up," Lippok speak-sings. "I step into the pool of them/ Become the pool/ And gaze, like the others/ Mothers, peddlers, suits." Although we can probably guess, it's never exactly clear whether these urban dwellers are witnesses to a tragedy or a spectacle, a daring rescue attempt or a cheap publicity stunt. The episode remains as hauntingly ambiguous as the album, and it's all the more powerful in its ambiguity.
In certain songs, Tarwater is smart enough not to muck up the grooves with extraneous vocals; nearly half of the tracks are instrumental. The squirrelly talking-drum witch-doctor tribalism of "Witch Park" holds the ear just fine without lyrics. But when the wavering tweaks of an otherwise unremarkable descending riff lead gracefully into the spoken-word poetics of "A Marriage in Belmont," it makes perfect sense.

custom waterfalls
Indoor Waterfall Surrey BC
Apologies for the delay. We have been working diligently to provide the best service possible while also maintaining the attention to detail that we take pride in. We are working on an indoor waterfall Surrey BC that will be completed in the next few weeks.
We look forward to hearing from all of the builders, home-owners, architects and designers that work on luxury homes. Those who have one of WaterfallNow's water features in their home will tell you that they just can't imagine being without one.
Indoor Waterfall Surrey BC
This is going to be a very interesting year for WaterfallNow with many unique opportunities along the way. We look forward to meeting new people and helping those who need the services that we provide.
Unlike pre-made water features that can cost roughly the same, WaterfallNow builds on-site, according to the clients needs. The ability to solve problems has offered WaterfallNow many great rewards.
These rewards are ultimately passed onto our new clients who will receive ever-increasing product value, creativity, and service.
If you are unsure whether or not you should give us a call then you probably won't.
A good majority of the people that contact WaterfallNow have looked around, have made up their minds, and don't want to wait any longer. They want what we offer, can't wait to enjoy the benefits, but they hate the darned waiting list.
We sincerely apologize for the delays and know how you may feel. However, we can tell you with a high degree of confidence that having a custom/unique designer artificial rock waterfall will be worth the wait than going with something pre-made that will cost more or less the same or lose it's appeal quite quickly.
If you want something pre-made WaterfallNow suggests dealing locally rather than online. The costs of shipping and customs can outweigh the benefits. Moreover, should you want to return a defective product you will be wasting your time. Do a search for what you are looking for in your local market/city and form person to person relationships with businesses in your local market.

Our rocks are so versatile that we can work on any project any place, any size, and any shape. By taking our rock panels, cutting, bending, folding, and patching them together we can theoretically re-create an entire cliffside.
We don't deny the beauty in natural rocks. But having many years in landscaping, we discovered many limitations associated with natural stone
Natural stone tends to be limited with finding the right the size, shape, or colour.
Areas such as Surrey, Burnaby, or Richmond where are not as fortunate as North Vancouver, West Vancouver, or Whistler with the close proximity to natural rock formations such as cliffs and rock walls.
Concrete is often out of the question when it comes to indoor water features not simply because of costs but potential maintenance nightmares. If going for a concrete water feature located indoors it is advised to do so during the construction of the building and securing all potential leakages.
Concrete – Leaks and Cracks
We have heard the horror stories of people who have had a concrete waterfall that was not created properly. We aren't sure what the exact cause of the leakage was but it may have been something to do with the tiny pores in the concrete itself. We have seen several of these in people's backyards that were not running. The common response to why the waterfalls were not running was maintenance related. Ask the contractor for samples of their experience with creating outdoor and indoor water features.
If you currently have a concrete pool or concrete waterfall with a basin that has issues holding water you may need to reapply a gel coat. Vinyl Ester resins are common for this type of repair. Polyester resins are priced higher and usually aren't used as a gel coat. Provided that you are doing your own labour you can do this for a few hundred dollars.
Fiberglass pools tend to be a good option from the start as the long-term reductions in maintenance costs will eventually outweigh the initial savings. They won't tell you this upfront. Concrete pools are undoubtedly beautiful but fiberglass pools are becoming more common. As long as you ask and have an idea of the potential maintenance costs you will be fine eitherway.
Other things to consider is the proximity to trees and other roots. Concrete once set tends to be a permanent fixture. If you are considering an outdoor water feature ensure that the feature will not be in close proximity with large tree roots or roots from newly planted trees that may crack the structure. Even the smallest weeds and roots can crack concrete or asphalt as can be seen in many unkempt driveways and sidewalks. Roots from trees that grow along or near concrete can create enough pressure to eventually begin affecting the structural integrity of your waterfall.
Another potential pitfall with some concrete designs is cracking from freeze-thaw. Amateurs such as ourselves when we first were creating rock features using concrete many years ago found that even the smallest lumps could cause a concrete rock feature to crack completely over the winter. Fortunately this rock feature was not created for a client but for ourselves. The cause was simply due to water and ice accumulating in the pores and holes and expanding causing the structure to break and chip.
We eventually discovered fiberglass as an optimal solution. They are simple to use and versatile which makes serving the customers needs that much smoother. They are flexible and have a lot of give to them. The beautiful thing about fiberglass is that repairs don't have to cost hundreds or even thousands of dollars. Often times our former clients call us for upgrades to their existing water features to change the color or make them bigger by adding more panels.
One of the downsides to fiberglass is the perception of it being less permanent. For outdoor commercial purposes it is a safer bet to go with concrete water features because there will inevitably be people that will stand on or sit on the water feature. Despite this downside we have not had many issues with property damage to our rock features. Should something happen let us know right away and we will patch and seam the damages back to normal.
Want insane overhangs and realistic rock patterns taken exactly from natural rock walls? There are hundreds of different fake rock panel designs to choose from.
When you have this kind of flexibility it makes coming up with indoor water feature ideas that much easier.
Custom Indoor Water Fountains, Water Walls and Water Features
WaterfallNow builds unique custom water walls using artificial rock panels. Despite being larger and much more beautiful our projects currently cost less than our competitors. When it comes to water walls which can be purchased through a wholesaler online or from a local dealer you are often limited to wall-mounted units.
I am a fan of wall-mounted water walls as well though they lack the exact sound that is often associated with other waterfalls or water features. The benefit of choosing them is their modern design which often better-matches contemporary architecture. They are however not our passion.
The team at WaterfallNow enjoys creating true custom work on-site for all clients needs. It is a satisfying feeling to have worked on a project on-site, plug in the power, and see a beautiful man-made waterfall come to life.
Whether you prefer the soothing and relaxing sounds of water trickling down a rock wall or the white noise provided by a waterfall (for a lobby) that can drown out traffic and other related noise simply let us know. We will draw out a plan, find the necessary parts and pieces, provide all the lighting, pumps, plumbing, and everything else needed to create your waterfall or water feature.
Pricing is based on the amount of rock panels required, labour required, indoor/outdoor, amount of preparation work done, customization (lighting, mist, fog, fountainheads etc), degree of difficulty, indoor or outdoor, and location with high traffic. Have a great location that you would like to feature one of our waterfalls? We will provide you with an excellent and unbeatable offer.
Our prices vary but on average they are:
Residential projects Est medium sizes $4000 to larger projects of $15,000 (We have saved just a few samples)
Commercial projects Est larger projects $20,000 showcase projects $50,000 (No current samples – currently working on a few)
Are you an architect tasked with creating a large commercial project? Don't think that WaterfallNow lacks the ability to work on larger projects. There is little difference in the time it takes for WaterfallNow to create a medium project from a large project.
We will in the future provide more photos and videos of our work for your benefit. Look for a fresh set of samples by summer 2014 for both outdoor and waterfalls. We will have more indoor water feature design ideas for your interior waterfall, water wall, or fountain needs.
Don't wait until our prices increase. Take advantage of our low introductory rates this summer.

New Fangled Opera was formed by a husband and wife team in September 2012. We are dedicated to performing and producing new works for opera as well as helping young artists bridge the gap between their education and their professional career. In 2013, we put out a call for scores to fill a summer festival of new opera works. We also extended a casting call for young artists who are interested in pursuing new music as much as we are.
New Fangled Opera is a labor of love. We are passionate about producing, performing, and realizing new music, especially opera. All donations that we receive go directly into our production costs, not into either of our pockets. Making a donation makes it possible for us to pay our directors, singers, and orchestra. You may make a donation by clicking here.
Chris D. Burton is a composer and conductor. He studied composition at Baylor University under Scott McAllister and at the Florida State University under Ladislav Kubik. Burton's works have received performances on three continents and have received a number of awards including being a finalist in the ASCAP Morton Gould Young Composers Competition.
Burton's love for opera began after meeting Shelley. His first opera, The Self-Portrait of Jonathan Jenkins, was left unfinished in 2010 and completed the summer of 2012 for its premiere at the New Orleans Fringe Festival in November. Under Burton's baton, a cast of 12 put on the production with its full orchestration over 4 nights of performances. Since then, he has begun work on a number of short operatic works and has plan for another large-scale work in the near future.
Burton conducts for New Fangled Opera. He studied choral cunducting under Andre Thomas at FSU and has directed ensembles in church choirs since then. He loves to work with other musicians in collaborative projects and looks forward to helping new music come to life through New Fangled Opera.
Shelley Burton, a native of Plano, TX, holds a Master of Music from Loyola University New
Orleans and a Bachelor of Music from Baylor University. Shelley has a passion for new operatic works; she has sung in two world premieres: Virginia Snow in the Lionel Lackey's "mini-opera" From Little to Less and most recently Alita Allegra in Chris Burton's The Self Portrait of Jonathan Jenkins. She has appeared in productions of Les Pecheurs de perles, Un ballo in Maschera, and Carmina Burana with the New Orleans Opera Chorus, and as a soloist for the company's popular casual concert series "Opera on Tap." Recent roles include Ein Sklave in Strauss's Salome, Wanda in Offenbach's The Grand Duchess of Gerolstein, Venus in Offenbach's Orphée aux enfers and Berginelle in Offenbach's Le Perichole. She has been seen onstage as a soprano soloist in Mozart's Requiem, Bach's Cantata No. 51, Dubois's The Seven Last Words of Christ, and Britten's Ceremony of Carols and has performed opera and recitals in Germany, France, Texas, Kansas, and Louisiana.

Yukon Vegetable Bake
1 pound Yukon Gold potatoes, unpeeled and cut into ½-inch cubes
1 cup fresh corn kernels (about 2 ears)
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
¼ teaspoon dried basil
½ teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1 cup thinly-sliced onion, sliced pole to pole (see Recipe Notes)
2 cups chopped zucchini, unpeeled, cut into ¼-inch rounds
2 cloves garlic, minced
Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Mix potatoes and corn in a large bowl. Add 1 tablespoon olive oil, basil, salt, and pepper. Stir well. Place on an 11 x 17-inch baking sheet. Bake about 25 minutes or until potatoes are tender, stirring halfway through cooking time.
When potatoes have about 5 minutes of cooking time remaining, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion slices and zucchini. Cook until vegetables are slightly browned. Stir in garlic, and cook about 30 seconds, stirring constantly so garlic doesn't burn. Add potatoes and corn. Stir well, and cook another 5 minutes before serving.
Recipe Notes
- Use yellow crookneck squash instead of zucchini.

Although it is big enough to offer all the Western comforts of home, it retains a simpleness and small town feel. You CAN get away from it all in Qingdao. You can find a place to relax. And the city itself does not feel like the bustling metropolis it is becoming. Qingdao offers the best of both worlds. If you crave the authentic Chinese experience, you can immerse yourself in Chinese culture and make as many Chinese friends as you want. You can learn Chinese from anyone, as the locals are enthralled and impressed by foreigners who show an interest in the language. On the other hand, if you crave the company of other foreigners, the city is ripe with them. Just find a local nightclub and foreigners are in abundance. If you're like myself though, you want to avoid the "foreign" crowd because it takes away from the authentic Chinese experience. I mean, if you want to hang around with other foreigners, then stay home.
I came to China to experience the culture. Not to segregate myself as a foreign community in another country. Should you go to Chinese discos? Yes, you should. There you will meet real Chinese party people, and although you will most likely hate the crazy techno music they blast at insane volumes, you can meet some cool people there. Most foreigners are intimidated by Chinese discos, so you will have the opportunity to meet many friendly Chinese guys and girls. Chinese are not by nature violent unless provoked. Relax, smile, and no one will give you a hard time unless you act belligerent or perverted. In summation, Qingdao is a great place for people who want a mix of the old and the new, the East and a bit of the West.

Toormore, last year's Champion two-year-old, maintained his unbeaten record in the Novae Bloodstock Insurance Craven Stakes on Thursday. However, the net result of a workmanlike two-length beating of The Grey Gatsby was that he remains a best priced 8-1 for the 2,000 Guineas, while Coral reacted by going odds-on for the first time with Kingman.
The Craven may not have been quite as good on paper as last Saturday's Greenham and Toormore's no frills style is the polar opposite to that of the flashy Kingman, but there was, nevertheless, something rather likeable about his victory.
Toormore did it the hard way by making all the running and, though he took a while to shake off the runner-up, he was on top at the finish; he gets a mile well and looked like he would tighten up for the run.
Trainer Richard Hannon did not see too many negatives. "That's him, he idles," he said. "He's not flashy, he'd never win a race by six lengths even if he could. He is never going to make you say 'wow'. He only won his first two races by a neck. All ours need a run and he needed that mentally and physically.
"He'll go quicker in the Guineas and not have to make the running. He is a lively contender. A lot of people [owners Middleham Park Racing] will have a lot of fun with him."
Ryan Moore, standing in for the injured Richard Hughes who will be back riding at Sandown a week today and partner Toormore on May 3, said the colt will go to the Guineas with "some sort of chance" – hardly a ringing endorsement had it come from anyone but Moore, who you could never accuse of hyping a horse.
"He's a very good moving horse with a great action and a good attitude. He was stargazing most of the way, he's unbeaten and he carried a penalty, which is never easy in a trial. The Guineas is a hot race and you couldn't help but be impressed with Kingman. Australia also looks exciting on what he did last year, but this horse has done what he was asked and was always in control," he said.
New ground is broken when racing will be staged for the first time on Good Friday. There are meetings at Lingfield Park, who stage their AW Championships card with £1 million in prize money, and Musselburgh.

This week's guest is the comedian and actor Eddie Izzard, and quite honestly I think Eddie is the most famous guest we've had on the show to date.
He's also full of creative wisdom, political opinions and, of course, jokes!
Whether it's talking about his craft as a comedian, actor and all-round creative chameleon, or his deep and insightful views on being transgender, I got a lot of value from talking to Eddie.
He's not what I expected though. And to be perfectly honest, I really didn't know what to expect.
Was this going to be comedy Eddie Izzard, the rambling, hilarious transvestite, or was I going to get serious, political or dramatic Eddie?
I really didn't know, and I guess it's always easy to expect someone in your face and full of one-liners when you meet a famous comedian.
I found Eddie to be very thoughtful and intellectual at times. Like he tells me during our chat together, he's always analysing patterns, and comparing systems of how things work.
He's always trying to get the bottom of why things work the way they do, and why people are the way they are.
A whole segment of this episode came at me from left field. Eddie has a lot to say about Steve Jobs and Apple.
It turns out that this creative genius understands the fundamentals of marketing, and it was interesting to talk to Eddie about how he views his own craft as being similar to creating a leading business brand like Apple.
Eddie has this whole riff on how Apple dominated its competitors like Microsoft and IBM.
He thinks the trick is not to get stuck in the business-as-usual mindset. You always have to be changing it up.
If you look at Eddie's career from street-performer to stand up to movie actor, you can see that he really embodies that philosophy.
He says we should always be trying to do things that are "off the list". We should avoid getting caught up in the usual narratives of whatever field we are in.
Eddie calls this working from a place of "vision".
For a big part of this interview me and Eddie talk about him being transgender.
One of the great things about Eddie is he doesn't use his sexual identity as a comedic crutch. It's not fake or stagey, and I think this forces people to take it seriously.
Even within the spectrum of transgenderism, Eddie is pretty unique.
Watch out for when he talks about how as a kid he always wanted to wear dresses, but also harboured a life dream of being in the British SAS!
Being a comedian, and completely unapologetic about his sexual identity and choice of dress, Eddie has come in for a lot of nasty attacks in his day to day to life.
He insists though, that he manages the hate by giving off "non-victim vibes".
Eddie reveals something essential in his mindset, and the trick through which he has learned to own his place in the world.
His "covert" way of turning negativity back on those who dish it out is genius, and it's a must see for anyone who's suffered abuse for their sexuality or appearance.
Another thing I absolutely recommend is Eddie talking about how he mastered the art of getting good at getting good.
Eddie tells me that no matter what he's done in his career he had to start off being terrible at it, and this forced him to figure out the hack to mastering any craft.
No matter if you are creative or in business or both, this is a game-changing tip from a man who seems to shift effortlessly between various art forms.
Eddie's an intuitive and deeply sensitive guy, but he also has this systems-mindset which I find fascinating.
Right and Left Brain seem to be firing off equally in his head, and you get the sense that once he commits to something he goes all in.
I suppose I was expecting the full-on, glammed-up performer, but what I found was a reflective guy. Eddie's comedy might be surreal, but his craftsmanship is grounded.
With a mind like Eddie's, that is as equally analytical as it is creative, you get an artist and human being totally at ease with who he is, and who has the full range of his personalities and skill at his command.
Sure Eddie is quite likely the most famous guest we've had to date, but he's also one of the most surprising.
It goes without saying that this is going to be a classic episode. But it's also going to be one that you'll revisit over and over again, simply because there's so much in it!

DETROIT, Mich. — The fourth-seeded Penn State Nittany Lions won their second consecutive double-overtime game to capture their first-ever Big Ten Hockey Tournament with a 2-1 win over Wisconsin on Saturday at Joe Louis Arena. Liam Folkes scored his second goal of the game, 6:43 into the second overtime to clinch the conference's automatic qualifier to the NCAA Tournament.
Freshman goalie Peyton Jones was named the Tournament Most Outstanding Player after he made 51 saves in his second consecutive marathon. Folkes and Erik Autio were also named to the team from the Nittany Lions.
Folkes opened the scoring with a first-period goal off a feed from Brandon Biro with 4:23 left in the period. Wisconsin tied the game at 1-1 on a Matt Utaski goal with 8:15 left in regulation.
Penn State, which advanced to the Big Ten Championship game with a double-overtime win over top-seeded Minnesota on Friday night, had the magic touch again on Saturday as Folkes tallied his second of the night for the championship.

Growing up in New England in the fall meant one thing: apple crisp, after school, every day. My mom makes the best apple crisp and still makes it when I come to visit during the cold fall months. Loaded with tons of spices and a buttery crumb topping it is comfort food at its finest. After going gluten free recently, I was so upset that the usual oat topping would be off limits, after all, what is fall in Connecticut without warm apple crisp at night? I was super excited to find gluten free oats at Trader Joe's and with little added sugar this makes the perfect dessert with a scoop of ice cream or even a fruit and fiber filled breakfast.
Related posts:
- 4 medium apples
- 1 cup rolled oats (I used gluten free)
- 1 tbsp cinnamon
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 3 tbsp butter, cut into cubes
- 1 tbsp pumpkin pie spice
- Servings: 6
- Difficulty: easy
- Peel, core, and slice the apples
- Toss with the cinnamon and sugar
- Place on a baking dish
- Toss the oats with the butter and pumpkin pie spice
- Sprinkle oat mixture over the apples
- Cover with aluminum foil and bake at 375 degrees for 30-40 minutes, until apples are tender and crisp is bubbly
- Enjoy!

Nominate Your Favorite Spas
Best Spa Polls -- Nominate Your Favorites
Nominees are being accepted for these cities and regions, and voting will begin when nominees have been fully vetted.
Click the links below to nominate your favorite day spas, spa salons, aesthetic studios and hotel spas!
Best Spas in Atlanta
Best Spas in Austin
Best Spas in Boston
Best Spas in Chicago
Best Spas in Cleveland
Best Spas in Dallas
Best Spas in Denver
Best Spas in Detroit
Best Spas in Ft Lauderdale
Best Spas in Honolulu
Best Spas in Houston
Best Spas in Indianapolis
Best Spas in Jacksonville
Best Spas in Kansas City
Nominations for Best Spa Awards are collected via online surveys and newsletter polls during our open polling periods (stated on each open polling form). Voting is then compiled by calculating reader submissions during open voting periods, followed by our vetting process, and finally, by in-person visits to the top scoring spas by our Spa Index Secret Spa Reviewers.
Once a spa has been nominated in the Best Of category, polls are sent to our subscriber email list, secret spa reviewers panel, resource and industry experts email list, and, posted on our website.
In order to avoid unnaturally inflated or "promoted" voting results, spas are never notified when secret spa reviewers have been assigned and will visit.
We prefer our voting results be based on industry reputation, organically collected reader votes, and secret spa reviewer impressions, rather than expert or aggressive marketing on the part of spa owners. That said, many spas owners become aware of our nominating and voting polls once they begin. While we do not encourage spas to aggressively market, we do not prevent them from requesting their clients and customers vote during an open poll, and they are not disqualified if they do so except under extreme circumstances (promising any form of incentive for voting, for instance).
Our polling and voting periods are fairly flexible depending on the region, area, and many variables (including weather). Ideally, our nominations for Best Spas are typically collected between January and July; our votes are collected thereafter (generally for 90 days), and our Secret Spa Reviews are generally conducted during this same period, and after polls and voting closes. Awards are posted throughout the year at the conclusion of the nomination, vetting, voting, and reviewing process for each city.
Secret Spa Reviewers do not reveal their association with SpaIndex.com, nor do they receive complimentary services or other incentives from any nominated spas in exchange for positive reviews. Spa Index Secret Spa Reviewers are fully reimbursed by SpaIndex.com for the cost of spa services after reviews are submitted and accepted.
The identity of Secret Spa Reviewers is kept anonymous for our vetting and reviews process, and during fact-checking. Reviewers are not permitted to reveal their identities to the spas or reveal a schedule, agenda, or pending review in any public forum or on social media.
Awards are based on a combination of votes received from our readers and panel experts, with additional and the most weight given to reviews by our Secret Spa Reviewers. Ties are broken by Secret Spa Reviewers, who visit each of the top nominated spas at least once, and often twice, during a polling and voting period.
Spas are given a badge for their own websites on request, but of course they are not required to display it. Framed Certificates are also offered for display in the spa, upon request.
Nominated Spas are never required to be members of or listed on SpaIndex.com Guide to Spas. In fact, nominations and winners are frequently a combination of reader favorite spas who are not members of our spa directory, and those which are.

Tuesday Two Hundred: Go To Plano, Get 2500 Square Feet & Big, Big Bang for Your Buck
Published November 9, 2011 by Candy Evans
When I first spied this home, it did not look like it was in Plano one bit. (Sorry, Plano peeps. Your homes just have a certain "look". But we love us some Plano and like how smart your kids all are!) In fact this home brings to mind an entirely new blog topic: what the hec can you do with an "80′s home"?
UPDATE it! Start with the kitchen and baths. Big plus: this home has only had one owner and lots of tender loving care. Secondly, it sports one of those "U-shaped" floor plans around a pretty brick courtyard that lets the sun shine in. The kitchen has brand-new granite counters, a tile floor and breakfast room that opens to the center private patio. The formal dining room — yes, for less than $200,000 you get a formal dining room for all the holidays! — has added double molding. There is also a living room with a vaulted ceiling and a den. Yes, I am still talking less than $200,000. No, not drinking. Now the real treat is the master bedroom: large master bath with double vanity and a huge walk-in. I'll be honest: not a fan of the cultured vanities and pull/push faucets, which just scream 1980′s, but these are so pristine it would be a sin to rip them out. Still, we sin every day — pop in some granite and two undercounter sinks and you have the look of a million bucks. This home is located in central Plano with mature trees, a board on board fence for no-peeky privacy, and new drive way. Four bedrooms, three full baths, formals and even a built-in trash compactor on almost one-fourth an acre. Asking $197,000, listed with my friend Christine Clark, and this means you could get in a home for about $1500 a month. And you wonder why everyone wants to move to Texas? Well, Plano!CandysDirt.com

Howdy, stranger. As we eagerly await Red Dead Redemption 2's release date, the thirst for new knowledge and details — anything concerning Rockstar's open world western — has gotten unbearable.
Fortunately, those fine hombres at DidYouKnowGaming? have taken a fine tooth comb to the original game, uncovering a whole load of awesome facts you might know. Take a look below for some of the highlights, including Red Dead Redemption's classic arcade routes, Rockstar's Red Dead research reading list, the horse from hell, how John Marston found his voice, and more.
Red Dead Redemption's Roots Go Way Back
#RedDeadRedemption's origins can be traced back to almost a decade before its release. Here's a brief history:
- Capcom's Red Dead Revolver, first in the Red Dead series, was produced as a spiritual successor to arcade classic Gunsmoke.
- Angel Studios, under Capcom's supervision, made a very stylized and arcade-like first version of Revolver.
- Rockstar bought Angel Studios (who became Rockstar San Diego) and were impressed enough by their work on Revolver to take on the game too.
- The arcade-style was dialed back (no flying characters or Mexican bandits with 4ft mustached) and grittier elements and dark humor mixed in to make Rockstar's Red Dead Revolver.
- It was their work on Red Dead Revolver that inspired Rockstar to revisit the Wild West setting in a new open-world game.
Red Dead Redemption Took Some Serious Research
Key members of the team would take trips to the Library of Congress in Washington DC to read up on life in the American frontier. Further reading included old Sears catalogues from circa 1900, and of course western novels, tv shows, and movies.
The Wild Bunch was also hugely influential with regard to the game's tone, as it was important to Rockstar that Red Dead Redemption not come across as too serious or pompous.
Researchers also went on long road trips through the desert, photographing the environment to model for the game.
Although inspired by the classics, Rockstar didn't want to romanticize the wild west, and chose to highlight the transition to the modern world by setting Red Dead Redemption in 1911, during the period's twilight years.
Hardcore Horsing Around
The development team were dedicated to authenticity and realism, which led to some trouble getting the animals to behave to bring you Grand Theft Horsey.
While performing motion capture with a stunt horse, the team discovered, after much difficulty, that their gesture to signal to each other was also coincidentally the command for the horse to rear up. This resulted in dozens of mocap markers falling off the horse on most takes, and a few cases of the rider nearly being thrown off his mount.
The whole process of capturing the horse's movement for the game took several years, so appreciate that that next time you see them glitching out.
Rockstar Had To Tone Down The More...Colorful Language Of The Era
More realism isn't always a good thing. Rockstar's research exposed themselves to some very unsavory attitudes of the era towards certain races, and they felt that they could not replicate that in-game.
CEO Dan Hauser described the racially-charged language of the era as 'insanely offensive to modern ears', and while it is hinted at in game, it doesn't quite go as far as the period sources.
The Score Was Really Complex
The games soundtrack took Woody Jackson and Bill Elm over 15 months of collaboration to make.
So that the soundtrack would react to a player's actions, they created 'stems' instead of songs, pieces of music that would assemble themselves and fit together depending on what the player was doing.
John Marston Had A Voice Before He Had A Story
Rob Wiethoff, voice of John Marston, got the part before the script had even been finished. Instead of reading the finished script, Wiethoff got an audition for an unknown video game.
When Wiethoff entered the studio, he was greeted by 30 men dressed as soldiers, given his lines and told to read them while holding his laundry, keeping it natural. The tense scene was filmed only once, and even though Wiethoff had no idea what it was about, he aced the part and was hired a few days later.

(Reuters) – Severe pollution in Beijing has made the Chinese capital "barely suitable" for living, according to an official Chinese report, as the world's second-largest economy tries to reduce often hazardous levels of smog caused by decades of rapid growth.
Pollution is a rising concern for China's stability-obsessed leaders, keen to douse potential unrest as affluent city dwellers turn against a growth-at-all-costs economic model that has tainted much of the country's air, water and soil.
The report, by the Beijing-based Social Science Academic Press and the Shanghai Academy of Social Sciences, ranked the Chinese capital second worst out of 40 global cities for its environmental conditions, official media reported on Thursday.
China's smog has brought some Chinese cities to a near standstill, caused flight delays and forced schools to shut.
Beijing was hit by severe levels of pollution at least once every week, according to the 2012 Blue Paper for World Cities report. That was on top of a significant level of air pollution covering the capital for 189 days in 2013, according to city's Environmental Protection Bureau.
Though China's record on pollution is patchy, the government said on Wednesday it would set up a 10 billion yuan ($1.65 billion) fund to fight air pollution, offering rewards for companies that clean up operations.
Overall the government has pledged to spend over 3 trillion yuan ($494.85 billion) to tackle the problem, creating a growing market for companies that can help boost energy efficiency and lower emissions.
Beijing will also shut 300 polluting factories this year and publish a list of industrial projects to be halted or suspended by the end of April, state news agency Xinhua said. ($1 = 6.0624 Chinese yuan)
Started in year 2010, 'Climate Himalaya' initiative has been working on Mountains and Climate linked issues in the Himalayan region of South Asia. In the last five years this knowledge sharing portal has become one of the important references for the governments, research institutions, civil society groups and international agencies, those have work and interest in the Himalayas. The Climate Himalaya team innovates on knowledge sharing, capacity building and climatic adaptation aspects in its focus countries like Bhutan, India, Nepal and Pakistan. Climate Himalaya's thematic areas of work are mountain ecosystem, water, forest and livelihood. Read>>

Hi there,
When enjoying the FC i found, that the Queue is great, but it would be even greater if:
• If there would be two progressbars: The general one (for the whole queue) and the other one indicating the current operation. Jus the same as in standard (and nice) Copy / Move dialog.
• It is great to have queue, if you run multiple operations relating to one drive. But sometimes I run long queue (copying many files to slow flashdisk), but I would like to be able to operate with files on other drives outside of currently running (and slow) queue. Something like multiple threads created automatically for each drive?
Thank you
File Operation Queue
Suggestions and feature requests.

Electronics Extreme made sure concerns were addressed. Bots have been one of the major reasons players stopped enjoying the game.
Kamphee "Ken" Piromward
Electronics Extreme and ELITE have great plans for Ragnarok Online. Piromward promises that the game will be more community centric. To show this commitment, Electronics Extreme and Elite started to invite active Ragnarok Online Guild Leaders to a Q&A Session.
He revealed that there will be Custom Events for the Philippines and a number of Ragnarok Online Key Items which were previously acquired through in-game purchases, will now be found in-game. Players will initially experience 2-1 character classes, improved monster spawn points, the Guild War feature and so much more! Piromward emphasizes that the game will be Free2Win and the only paid aspects of the game will be via its Item Mall and will offer just a slight advantage to the money spenders.
ELITE, Extreme's Philippine publishing partner, will make sure the game and its community activities are optimal to provide the best gaming experience to Filipino players. The Ragnarok Online Closed Beta Testing will commence in mid-June and you can start registering for it now.

A BUDDING martial arts star has raked in charity cash for battling youngster Bradley Lowery after he scooped a medal haul in a recent competition.
Seven-year-old Corey Robinson, who attends Peterlee-based Koguryo Martial Arts, was sponsored to take part in the KWON WKU English National Championships held in Solihull earlier this month.
The pupil of Dene House Primary School, Peterlee, pulled off some impressive moves that saw him rake in £1,000 sponsorship to give to the appeal set up to provide treatment for two-year-old cancer sufferer Bradley, from Blackhall.
He will also be giving Bradley one of the medals he has won with a special message engraved on the back.
Seven club members attended the tournament, including chief instructor Hugh Crawford, assistant chief instructor Susan Crawford and their daughter Chloe.
The day started with Corey taking silver in the points fighting division then stepping straight onto the Kata mat and taking bronze in the Korean division for eight years and under.
Corey then went on to win the WKU English title in light contact for eight years and under.
This brings the number of titles for the youngster this year to seven.
Chloe took bronze in the musical weapons and the English champion title in the Korean division for 13-17-year-olds.
Susan took silver in the Over 35s veteran women's light contact division and English champion in the Over 35s Kata.
Hugh took two titles in Korean Kata divisions – adults and over 35s veterans.
Hugh said: "This has been a great year for the club with over a dozen titles from all competitors who competed for the club around the country.
"We have also taken silver and bronze medals at world Level.
"Corey raised nearly £1000 for Bradley Lowery competing at the Kwon WKU English Nationals which is a accomplishment all of its own.
"What a great year he has had and to end it on this note is very special."
A new tournament season for the club, based in Parsons Road, starts in February and new members are wel- come.

At least once a week, I try to pass along any good writing tips or resources I've stumbled across on my various internet journeys. Today's resource comes from an interview with Louis Markos, an editor at The Gospel Coalition website.
Answering the first question, Markos offers a number of authors that he thinks have a "beautiful and subtle prose" worth emulating. He's particularly fond of Ray Bradbury and C. S. Lewis.
The latter part of the interview focuses on the differences between good and great sentences, as well as what it takes to craft a good argument.

In creative writing dialogue should aim to make characters original and move the plot along. Because successful fiction mimics real life, well-written dialogue sounds natural, as though the reader is eaves dropping on an actual conversation.
Works by some authors rely on dialogue less than others. But whether you use it sparingly or rely on it to move your story forward, dialogue that is realistic and believable has five important uses:
Imagine a husband and wife driving down the road. The husband (driver) says, "Look at that. We're in the ditch. Now what are we going to do?" You can guess what's happened in the story, but the man's words reveal nothing about his personality.
Now consider this passage from the novel, Daughter of the Cimarron. Harold, the driver is speaking: "Lookit that," he muttered. "Clear in the ditch and stuck besides. How am I going to get this flivver back on the road?" Harold's tone, choice of words and his question reveal his attitude, cultural background and the frustration he's feeling at the moment. In fact, from that opening scene, Harold's words alone tell us nearly everything we need to know to appreciate the character.
When characters in a story are well-defined, their spoken words will bring the person to life.
In L. Frank Baum's The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, Dorothy early on states, "I'm anxious to get back to my Aunt and Uncle, for I am sure they will worry about me. Can you help me find my way?"
Thus is Dorothy's motivation revealed. From this point on, the story question is established: Will Dorothy make it home? Everything she does and says from here on in the story relates back to her statement.
Each character who joins Dorothy has a reason for seeking the Wizard, and says so, just as Dorothy says, "Come along, Toto . . . we will go to the Emerald City and ask the great Oz how to get back to Kansas again."
Backstory plays a key role in fiction, but readers usually cringe at info dump. How can you write a scene that reveals important information about what's gone before without boring your reader?
By revealing that information through dialogue.
At the same time you're revealing your character's motivation and personality, you can be informing the reader about what's happened in the past, or hint at what to expect in the future.
Here's a dialogue exchange that reveals very little information, yet creates suspense in the mind of the reader:
The ringing phone woke Tom up. "Hello," he mumbled into the receiver. "This is Officer Smith from the Salem Police Department. I'm calling for Tom Watkins." "This is Tom Watkins." "Mr. Watkins, do you have a son named David?" "Yes—I do!" "Okay, thank you." (Click.)
That short exchange will leave the reader in suspense, wondering the same thing as poor Tom: Is my son okay?
In fact, in the example above, the exchange between Tom Watkins and Officer Smith likely created a conflict between the two characters. Tom is probably wondering what's wrong with Officer Smith, calling with a question like that, then hanging up!
In successful fiction, creative writing dialogue mimics real life. Realistic exchanges between two or more characters must be more than "just the fact, ma'am." Using dialogue to reveal personality, motivation, information, suspense and conflict will turn a bland story into a real page turner.

Happy Saturday Everyone!
Can I offer you a cup of sludge (Folger's coffee that over flows the filter, even though I'm only making two cups)? Since I flood my coffee with cream and stevia, it really doesn't matter if I buy cheap coffee… I can't taste the difference 😉
My hubby is off to work another Saturday. He feels guilty if he doesn't work it before we take the next few days off. Me? I don't feel guilty one bit for taking off work. It's a dog eat dog out there, however I'm not planing on dying before I enjoy this life of mine.
I always remember my parents listening to Paul Harvey and his show, "The Rest of the Story". It irks me that news affiliates rarely report the outcomes of stories, due to the need to grab folks attention with new, fascinating stories, rather than 'dwell' on old ones. In the spirit of Paul, I figured this post would be a good place to update you'all about some things.
Back in January, when I was due for a salon visit to cover my roots, I made a decision to stop dying and let my inner silver fox appear. Which I have been, sans one visit to dye the lower hair to match my natural color (darker than where I was) so, in theory, I'll never have to dye again. My hairdresser did not dye my roots, however I do feel she went a bit darker than my natural color. Honestly, I love it! It really is a dark, dark brown. It actually does compliment my complexion quite well, I thing.
The roots are about 2 inches long now. Clearly, I have a few Lily Munster streaks right in the front… Awesome! I've been taking biotin, and feel it's really making my hair grow like a weed. It's long enough now, that when I'm driving, I go to check blind-spots and realize I can't because I'm leaning on my hair. Very happy with these results. I need to learn some cool braiding styles now. I do have anxiety issues, that force me to play with my hair… I might as well put those issues to good use and learn updo's 😉
Both of us have been to the DDS now. I knew hubby was worse off than me, however…. 😯 I didn't really think we were going to be that far apart. My visit went pretty much as predicted. This new DDS had ALL of the most recent gizmo crap available in the DDS world! All my x-rays were splashed across the 52″ flat screen mounted on the wall, followed by real-time photos of each tooth, front and back! When was the last time you saw the back of your mouth from the back of your tongue?!? After that was a periodontal exam… 232-332-222-332… only one 4! Awesome, I can squash that quickly. She agreed that the 2 teeth can just be removed and sadly, found 3 small cavities. I'm slated for the chair after vacation. In total, $1,000. Not bad.
My husband was not so lucky. We talk about many things, however the DDS is a touchy subject. Not so much that he didn't want to go or anxiety issues, its because he realizes it's kind of a necessity to quit smoking to avoid issues in healing his mouth. In short, if you're not aware, when you get teeth pulled, you should avoid 'sucking' on things (straws, candy, cigs) to avoid dry socket. Since I quit smoking in 2006, I've only mentioned to him quitting a hand full of times. Nagging rarely gets you anywhere in this house… I know the phrase, 'you won't quit until you want to'. We have touched on it. I can just say, I hope he can do it. I need him to be around. Without him, I'd be lost.
After we talked about his visit, I didn't realize he still had all four wisdom teeth. Yikes… and they are all impacted. I was lucky, I didn't have lower and tops are tucked away forever in my skull. He also needs four crowns and a couple of root canals. All in all… $15,000 was the bottom line. No worries, let me get you a tissue for the coffee that blew out your nose.
I'll have to give a report in the future.
Work has been better, slower this past week. There is always a slight lull at this time. I think many of the 1%ers travel after the kiddos get out of school. No one is home to complain. I have been teaching my young padiwan how to use my quoting program… At least how to retrieve existing quotes when I'm absent. I told her she should learn as much as she can at every job she works at. I told her, her goal should always be to take the bosses job away. At least that was always my strategy. She's smart, I feel she will go far. She reminds me of me a little bit 😉
Otherwise, on a whole, we're all good! Everyone is healthy and happy =-) I hope you are all the same! Enjoy the long 4th of July weekend, if you're with me in the states. We'll be enjoying Door County, Wisconsin in the toyhauler, with the boys. I'll be trying out my Instagram skills out that weekend with the picturesque scenery of 'The Thumb'. I may not be able to join you'all next Saturday, however I'll check in the next.
See ya!

the only full carbon propellers for paramotors on the market
the lightest and the most efficient
E-PROPS: the propellers of the 2017 Paramotors European Champions
Marie Matéos / Alex Matéos / Pierre Lefebvre : 100% French, 100% MacFly, 100% E-Props !
Marie Matéos is preparing her flight
E-PROPS: the propellers of the 2016 Paramotors World Champions
Alex Matéos - special E-Props 4-blades QD2 concept
Hélices E-PROPS proposes some different ranges of carbon propellers for paramotors uses. These propellers are specially designed and manufactured for paramotors engines, with :
- the best possible efficiency, due to small chord and high CL profiles
- the lightest propellers in the world : because really in full carbon !
- noise limitation
- no vibrations because of a good balancing
and all this at affordable prices
More than 600 models for : Cisco Motors, Compact Radial Engines, Cors-Air, Flyengine, Hirth, Per il Volo, Polini, Radne, Ros Motor, Rotax, Simonini, Sky Engines, Vittorazi...
PLUG'n'FLY models :
The PLUG'n'FLY propellers are 100% carbon, the lightest on the market, very strong, in two sectionable parts, simple to assembly. Those propeller are the lightest and the strongest props on the market.
NG-D models :
This kind of propellers, with adjustable pitch (pre-adjustment done in E-PROPS workshop), is interesting for engines manufacturers, paramotors manufacturers, champions, and pilots who are looking for the best pitch. As all the E-PROPS propellers, they are very light and the very efficient.
=> Find all models in the E-PROPS SHOP
PROPELLERS for PARAMOTORS
How can I know the thrust of an E-Props for paramotors ?
May I choose a 125 cm diameter or a 130 cm to increase the thrust ?
It is possible to know the thrust by using our software. Please see here : MODELIZATION PROGRAM
A propeller with a 130 cm diameter will have a higher thrust (some kg) than a 125 cm diameter. It depends on the engine and max RPM.
Examples :
- Engine Polini Thor 250 red 2,8 =>
2-blades propeller PLUG'n'FLY diameter 125 cm = thrust 85 kg
2-blades propeller PLUG'n'FLY diameter 130 cm = thrust 89 kg
- Engine Vittorazi Moster 185 red 2,86 =>
2-blades propeller PLUG'n'FLY diameter 125 cm = thrust 76 kg
2-blades propeller PLUG'n'FLY diameter 130 cm = thrust 80 kg
What is the choice between a 2-blades, a 3-blades or a 4-blades ?
Which propeller would have the best efficiency ?
When the model exists, in the E-Props range, it would be a 4-blades, without doubt.
The more blades, the best efficiency. It is possible to see this in our MODELIZATION PROGRAM. A 4-blades propeller would have a better efficiency, thus would gives the best thrust. This is true for the diameters and the powers used in leisure aviation.
But it is true only if the blade is adapted to the configuration : a blade of a 2-blades propeller which will be assembled on a 3-blades or 4-blades hub do not allow to reach the best performances with such 3- or 4-blades propellers. The universal blade designed for all configurations do not exists, unfortunately. To each propeller exist a different blade geometry, or the effciency will not be the best.
To go further : DIAMETERS and BLADES NUMBER
Example :
- Engine Polini Thor 250 red 2,8, E-Props propellers with diameter 130 cm =>
2-blades = thrust of 89 kg
3-blades = thrust of 94 kg
4-blades = thrust of 97 kg
By E-Props, the 4-blades propellers have been designed with a special concept to reduce the noise. It is the QD2 concept : a 4-blades composed of 2 x 2-blades with different angles to reduce the noise and increase the performances. Noise reduction in comparison with a standard propeller : about 6 decibels.

Emergency AC Service
The hot, scorching Sun and the cold, wintery, bone chilling north wind – both conditions and the transition seasons in between can take away your energy and leave you in a state where normal day to day functioning can become nearly impossible. So what does one do? That's right – you switch on the air conditioning!
When do you need Emergency AC Repair?
Did you know that emergency AC repair services should be a 24 hours AC service that you can avail at any time? This is something that you need to ask your manufacturer at the time of installation. You also need to know the different parts of the AC as this will help you in case of AC repair in Miami or anywhere else. The various parts of the AC include the Evaporator which receives the liquid that refrigerates before transferring the heat. This is facilitated by the Condenser. After this process, an Expansion Valve brings this refrigerant to the correct temperature which then flows into the Evaporator. And finally, there is the Compressor which pressurises the refrigerant.
One must realise that any malfunction in any of these parts can leads to a disturbance of the entire unit, in which case, one will require emergency AC service and air conditioning repair, so that you continue to enjoy the fresh air at the right temperature, to remain happy and healthy!
AC Unit Variations for Different Needs
There are many variations of AC units too – like window air conditioners as well as split unit systems where one unit is set outdoors. Also, air conditioning systems can be installed to cool or warm entire homes as well as commercial spaces. You should take ample care to know your budget and what kind of space and the size you have, before you decide on the right kind of air conditioning unit for yourself and your family, or your office.
Energy Consumption with the AC
While you are at it, you should also remember to take ample steps to conserve energy by choosing models that have a power saving mode which can efficiently regulate the energy consumption after a prolonged running time and a certain temperature. These kind of intuitive systems are built into modern day air conditioning units, which makes your bills lighter and your home happier!
Regular Servicing and Repair
An air conditioner must be serviced and repaired on a constant and regular basis where even emergency AC repair services can be availed. This is especially beneficial for people suffering from allergy and respiratory problems, as well as those who fall under environmental temperature stress easily!

NEW YORK (AP) -- Fuel Systems Solutions Inc. posted a loss for its fiscal fourth quarter on Friday but its adjusted results exceeded market expectations, sending its stock higher.
The New York-based company makes alternative fuel components and systems for use in the transportation, industrial, and power-generation industries worldwide.
Fuel Systems reported a net loss of $21 million, or $1.05 per share, for the quarter that ended Dec. 31. That is compared to net income of $1.4 million, or 7 cents per share, in fourth quarter of the prior year. After adjusting for a $22 million asset-impairment charge and associated tax benefit, it earned 1 cent per share in the most recent quarter.
The company took the charge to reflect adjustments it has made over the past few quarters to its expectations for U.S. automotive operations and its AFS acquisitions.
Fuel Systems' total revenue fell to $98 million from $111 million on weaker automotive demand in the U.S. and Latin America, as well as unfavorable foreign exchange rates.
Analysts polled by FactSet had forecast an adjusted loss of 3 cents per share on revenue of $88.9 million.
Fuel Systems CEO Mariano Costamagna said demand remains strong for its gaseous and bi-fuel products as equipment manufacturers look for cleaner and more cost-efficient methods for powering automotive and industrial engines.
The company forecast revenue between $400 million and $420 million for its 2013 fiscal year. Analysts had forecast revenue of $412.9 million.
Fuel Systems shares were up $1.15, nearly 8 percent, to $15.71 in afternoon trading. Its shares, however, remain at the lower end of their 52-week trading range of $13.38 to $28.28. The stock fell sharply last spring after Fuel Systems posted disappointing results and is down about 40 percent from year-ago levels.

Myths of Greece and Rome Narrated with Special Reference to Literature and Art
Page: 5The Ethiopians and the Isles of the Blest.
South of Greece, also near the great river Oceanus, dwelt another nation, just as happy and virtuous as the Hyperboreans,—the Ethiopians. They, too, often enjoyed the company of the gods, who shared their innocent pleasures with great delight.
And far away, on the shore of this same marvelous river, according to some mythologists, were the beautiful Isles of the Blest, where mortals who had led virtuous lives, and had thus found favor in the sight of the gods, were transported without [Pg 17] tasting of death, and where they enjoyed an eternity of bliss. These islands had sun, moon, and stars of their own, and were never visited by the cold wintry winds that swept down from the north.
The Isles of the Blest,
Are peaceful and happy, by night and by day,
Far away in the glorious west.
They need not the pale, pale star;
The sun is bright, by day and night,
Where the souls of the blessed are.
They labor not, never! oh, never!
Not a tear do they shed, not a sigh do they heave,
They are happy, for ever and ever!"
Chaos, Erebus, and Nyx were deprived of their power by Æther and Hemera, who did not long enjoy the possession of the scepter; for Uranus and Gæa, more powerful than their progenitors, soon forced them to depart, and began to reign in their stead. They had not dwelt long on the summit of Mount Olympus, before they found themselves the parents of twelve gigantic children, the Titans, whose strength was such that their father, Uranus, greatly feared them. To prevent their ever making use of it against him, he seized them immediately after their birth, hurled them down into a dark abyss called Tartarus, and there chained them fast.
This chasm was situated far under the earth; and Uranus knew that his six sons (Oceanus, Cœus, Crius, Hyperion, Iapetus, and Cronus), as well as his six daughters, the Titanides (Ilia, Rhea, Themis, Thetis, Mnemosyne, and Phœbe), could not easily escape from its cavernous depths.

The Idaho House came to a surprise halt after the state's far-right lawmakers took aim at bill to bring Idaho's notary public procedures in line with other states.
That faction of Idaho's GOP tends to be suspicious of bills from the Uniform Law Commission - a group that drafts model laws to ease interstate and international interactions - because they worry the bills could promote a "global planning" agenda.
Other lawmakers have said those concerns are unfounded. Nevertheless, two years ago the state had to call a special legislative session after the same small group of far-right wing favorites tanked a child support because of its ties to the commission.
During the House floor session Monday, freshman Rep. Priscilla Giddings of White Bird objected to a routine request to skip the reading of an entire bill. The House retaliated by forcing Giddings to read the 21-page bill in front of the entire body.
It took Giddings more than hour to read the bill.
