Showers are most likely before the polls open at 7 a.m. Tuesday, according to the National Weather Service, although the day is expected to remain cloudy with temperatures in the low 50s.
Nearly a third of the county's registered voters — 14,365 people — took advantage of the early voting period, which ended Friday.
That 30.45 percent falls a little short of the 38.43 percent who came out in advance for the 2008 presidential election, but local officials are confident there will be a healthy turnout.
"I'd say 70 percent easy," Elections Board Chairman Pete McDonald said.
Elections Supervisor Evon Billups said thousands of absentee ballots also were requested, so turnout could be as high as 80 percent, depending on how many of them are returned.
The number of registered voters in Floyd County has been increasing, but the percentage who vote appears to be decreasing.
Turnout was about 73 percent in 2008 compared to 77 percent for the 2004 presidential election.
Still, enthusiasm is running high this year, as evidenced by the voter rolls. According to Georgia secretary of state reports, Floyd County had 46,025 registered voters as of Oct. 1 and 47,169 as of Nov. 1 — an increase of more than 1,100 people.
Topping the ballot is the presidential race between President Barack Obama, a Democrat, and his challengers Republican Mitt Romney and Libertarian Gary Johnson.
There also are eight certified write-in candidates, which means those votes will be counted and announced.
The candidates are Rocky Anderson of the Justice Party; Virgil Goode of the American Constitution Party; independents David C. Byrne, Darrell Hykes, Erin Kent Magee and Jill Reid; James Harris of the Socialist Workers Party; and Jill Stein of the Green Party.

Unseasonably warm temperatures are in the forecast for Troup County, but they may not be enough to break any records.
The outlook for Friday through Tuesday is for highs in the lower 70s and lows in the mid-50s. There's a chance of rain Friday and Saturday, with a greater chance Monday.
Even if Friday's forecast high of 72 is reached, it will fall well short of the record of 78 for the date posted at LaGrange-Callaway Airport in 1949. And the record for Saturday's date is 80, also set in 1949.
Sunday is the best bet for breaking the record high of 69, posted in 1959. The record for Monday's date is 71, set in 1982.
The all-time high in LaGrange for the month was 80, set Jan. 12, 1949, and tied on Jan. 25, 1950.
Normal extremes for this time of year are 51 and 37.

What's even spookier? My Dad would remove the plate glass from our front door and dress as the Grim Reaper, sitting on a chair behind the door, turning his head to follow the movements of the trick-or-treaters. Okay, now tell me that wouldn't make you pee your pants? No? Well, how about when he would reach through the door, where the glass should have been, to hand you your candy? That is, if you even made it up to the front door...

Oh I LOVE IT! WHen I was little I lived in this 100 year old house with a wrap around porch that was 3 stories tall. To get to it you had to walk down the long driveway and down a long sidewalk. At Halloween my parents would go all out! Putting things in all the windows, cobwebs, creepy music, fog, flashing lights and my dad would dress up in full native american dress with a full headdress and war paint. He never said a word or cracked a smile. It was so scary that the teenage boys would always stand at the end of the driveway and dare one another to come up!
I love halloween. :) - October 22, 2009 at 9:34 AM

That looks great! We went to a house every year that had a stuffed scarcrow sitting on the porch all season....on trick or treat night, the guy would dress up and sit there instead and then scare the crap out of you when you came up the steps. Some years he did it, other years he didn't...you never knew what you were getting. I stopped going, hahah.

Awards will be presented for the Top Overall Male and Female, as well as the top three in each age group. There will be no duplication of awards. To enter the race, or obtain more information about the event, contact Mary Holley, Gallipolis Developmental Center, 2500 Ohio Avenue, Gallipolis, Ohio 45631. The entry fees are $20 pre-registration (postmarked by March 22, 2013, or $25 Race Day registration. Kids 12 and under are $15 for pre-registration and $20 for Race Day registration. Only pre-registration guarantees a T-shirt. Make checks payable to the Gallipolis Developmental Center.
Monetary and/or food donations will also be accepted to combat hunger in the Gallia County area in honor of the State of Ohio Operation Feed Campaign. Donations and proceeds from the race will go to local food pantries.
The story of the Gallipolis Developmental Center (GDC) is best told by looking at the people involved. This story includes the residents themselves, the employees and the impact it has had on the lives of the people of the local community, state of Ohio and even throughout the United States.
The medical roots of this area go back to the Civil War times when the U.S. government established a 250-bed U.S. Army General Hospital in Gallia County. Approximately 4,000 Union soldiers were treated here as well as some Confederate Soldiers. Some of these soldiers paid the ultimate price while here and were buried in the local cemeteries, including four Confederate soldiers, many were buried in the Pine Street Cemetery.
In 1889, in the home of Marie L. Shepard, a group of local citizens conceived the idea to build the first state-maintained institution for epileptics in the United States. Through the efforts of these Gallipolitans, the Ohio General Assembly on April 11, 1890, passed an act, creating a commission to provide accommodations for the epileptic and the epileptic insane of the state. According to the Commission on site selection, this land was chosen because of its healthfulness, purity of water, general adaptability for hospital purposes and access. Upon passage of the bill, Governor James E. Campbell appointed a commission composed of John L. Vance, Gallipolis, C.C. White, Columbus and George H. Bunning, Sidney to make recommendations for a site for the proposed hospital. The architect chosen to help create the Ohio Hospital for Epileptics was J.W. Yost of Columbus. He identified many natural advantages for choosing the Gallipolis site to include the availability of nearby stone from the hill behind the proposed grounds; the abundance of coal; reasonable rates for adjoining farm land which could afford favorable occupation for the "inmates", as they were then called. Additionally, the proposed land was naturally graded, which would affect the ease of building construction and by using "inmate" labor, the cost of construction could be reduced considerably.
The facility was originally designed to be totally self-supporting. This colonization concept would afford the hospital the luxury of being practical, self-sufficient in respect to produce most food items that included dairy products, fruits, vegetables, meats and to maintain its own boiler operation, which included a tunnel system that would connect the boiler system with the homes and other structures of the facility. This concept would also allow use of resident labor for maintenance, production and direct care of those "inmates" unable to perform self-help skills.
Upon acceptance of the commission and architect's report, the General Assembly appropriated $40,000 for three stone residences on March 4, 1891. The first cornerstone was laid on November 12, 1981. It weighed approximately 2,200 pounds and like the stone used for the erection of the buildings, it was quarried from the hill at the rear of the grounds. Originally named, "the Asylum for Epileptic Insane", the facility name was changed to the "Ohio Hospital for Epileptics" (aka O.H.E.) following an act passed by the General Assembly in 1892. On November 30, 1893, the three initial buildings were open for the reception of patients. By November 1894, nine stone residential buildings, a kitchen, bakery and a boiler house had also been erected. At this time, O.H.E. housed 351 patients.
The facility continued to grow, and in 1907, the census of the facility was up to 1,300 residents with approximately 200 employees. The estate was at 500 acres with over 36 buildings, exclusive of barns, greenhouses and other buildings. Twenty-three of these buildings were occupied with patients. The total budget for the Hospital for the fiscal year ending November 15, 1907 was $246,391. O.H.E. continued to grow and follow the original colonization plan through the following four decades.
In 1950, the name was changed from "The Ohio Hospital for Epileptics" to "The Gallipolis State Institute" (aka G.S.I.). In 1961, G.S.I. served as the home for 2,358 patients suffering from epilepsy, retardation and mental health problems. It also employed a total of 710 local citizens, with 443 of the total serving as direct care to the patients. Although there were capital improvements completed annually to the Institution between 1907 through 1957, most remember the Medical and Surgical building as being a turning point in the history of the Gallipolis State Institute. The new Medical and Surgical building (a.k.a. M&S building) was completed in 1959. It was signed to accommodate the physically ill with complete medical facilities to include a surgical unit. The building is a five-story 48,565-square-foot structure with 145 rooms. This building was originally valued in excess of $800,000. Today the building stands uninhabited, preparing to be razed.
On September 7, 1979, the name of the facility was once again changed this time to the "Gallipolis Developmental Center" (aka G.D.C.). What started in 1890, with the facility becoming the site of the first and largest facility in the nation to provide services to persons with epilepsy, and at its largest, serving in excess of 2,500 persons went to an average of 250 individuals in 2001. More than half of these people also had several multiple physically handicapping conditions or mental illness, and more than a third were over 60 years old.
However, change never ends. The G.D.C. currently serve only 140 residents and has become a Resource Center for counties and providers in the community. The G.D.C. remains the state's oldest and largest facility of its type and continues to function under Federal Medicaid standards.

5 Mood-Boosting Workouts
Whether you want to perk up, calm down, feel sharper, or just get happier, there's a mind-altering routine for you.
To Feel More Content, Try Yoga
The science: A little down? Assume upward dog. A 2010 study published in the Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine examined the anxiety levels and moods of people who practiced yoga for an hour three times a week. Yoga practice is associated
with increased levels of GABA, an amino acid and neurotransmitter that may help reduce anxiety, according to Chris Streeter,
a neurologist, a psychiatrist, and the lead author of the study. Also, slow, deep yogic breathing increases oxygen flow, which
leads to optimal functioning of all your organs—including your brain, according to Anita Herur, M.D., an assistant professor
of physiology at S. Nijalingappa Medical College, in India. Another 2010 study, published in the Al Ameen Journal of Medical Sciences, led by Herur, looked at the physical effects of yoga on new practitioners and linked the practice to improved overall mood.
The researchers found that in the study's subjects the parasympathetic nervous system—the part of the nervous system that
promotes relaxation—kicked into high gear "around three months after starting yoga," says Herur.
How to put it into practice: If you're new to yoga, your first step should be to learn correct breathing, says Lynn Louise Wonders, a yoga teacher and
the owner of the Yoga Room, in Marietta, Georgia. Wonders advises, "Breathe in through your nose to the count of five. Hold
for two counts, then exhale through your nose to the count of five, emptying your lungs completely." Repeat five times. Now
you're ready to merge the breathing with movement. Look for a beginner's class with a qualified instructor (find a studio
through the Yoga Alliance Registry; yogaalliance.org). If you prefer to practice at home, check out Shiva Rea's Flow Yoga for Beginners ($15, amazon.com). Aim to take one 60-minute class a week. But even 10 minutes done every day at home may improve your outlook. The key is

Henry Plummer
by Michael Thomas Barry
On May 24, 1863, the good citizens of Bannack, Montana, elect Henry Plummer as their new sheriff, not realizing he is a hardened outlaw who will use his office to rob and murder.
Bonnie Parker & Clyde Barrow
On May 23, 1934, famed fugitives Clyde Barrow and Bonnie Parker are killed in a police ambush near Sailes, Louisiana. A contingent of officers from Texas and Louisiana set up along the highway, waiting for the fugitives to appear, and then unloaded a two-minute fusillade of 167 bullets at their car, killing them both.
Chandra Levy
On May 22, 2002, the remains of former Federal Bureau of Prisons intern Chandra Levy are found, over a year after the 24-year-old was last seen at a health club. The skeletal remains, discovered by a man walking through Washington D.C.'s Rock Creek Park, were identified through dental records. A sweatshirt, sneakers and a Sony Walkman cassette player were also found in the vicinity.
Leopold & Loeb
On May 21, 1924, fourteen-year-old Bobbie Franks is abducted from a Chicago, Illinois, street and killed in what later proves to be one of the most fascinating murders in American history. The killers, Nathan Leopold and Richard Loeb, were extremely wealthy and intelligent teenagers whose sole motive for killing Franks was the desire to commit the "perfect crime."
Mary Kay Letourneau and Vili Fualaau
On May 20, 2005, ex-teacher and convicted pedophile Mary Kay Letourneau, marries her former victim and the father of two of her children, Vili Fualaau. Just nine months earlier, Letourneau had been released from prison after serving a seven-and-a-half year sentence for raping Fualaau.
Oscar Wilde
On May 19, 1897, writer Oscar Wilde is released from jail after two years of hard labor. His experiences in prison were the basis for his last work, The Ballad of Reading Gaol (1898).
Chief Satanta
On May 18, 1871, Kiowa Chief Satanta joins with other Indians to massacre a wagon train near the Red River in northeastern Texas. One of the leading chiefs of the Kiowa in the 1860s and 1870s, Satanta was a fearsome warrior but also a skilled orator and diplomat. He helped negotiate and signed treaties with the U.S. establishing a Kiowa reservation in Indian Territory (modern-day Oklahoma), but Satanta remained resistant to government efforts to force the Kiowa to abandon their nomadic ways.
The famous S.L.A. publicity image of new member Patty Hearst
On May 17, 1974, Los Angeles police surround a home in Compton where the leaders of the terrorist group known as the Symbionese Liberation Army (SLA) are hiding out. Several months earlier the SLA had kidnapped Patricia Hearst, heiress to the Hearst family publishing empire. Police found the house in Compton when a local mother reported that her kids had seen a bunch of people playing with an arsenal of automatic weapons in the living room of the home.
Andrew Johnson
On May 16, 1868, the U.S. Senate votes against impeaching President Andrew Johnson and acquits him of committing high crimes and misdemeanors. In February 1868, the House of Representatives charged Johnson with 11 articles of impeachment for vague "high crimes and misdemeanors."
Symbol of the 2nd Vigilance Committee
On May 15, 1856, angered by the shooting of a prominent journalist, San Franciscans form their second vigilance committee to combat lawlessness. The need for vigilance committees in San Francisco was obvious. Only two years after gold was discovered at Sutter's Mill in 1848, San Francisco had grown from a sleepy little village with 900 inhabitants to a booming metropolis with more than 200,000 residents.

A Highland Park High School senior went out to celebrate New Year's Eve at a concert where British DJ Rusko took the stage. She probably added something sparkly and a little extra mascara to her going out ensemble. She probably made a few New Year's resolutions earlier that day and texted friends about her plans for the night. She probably switched purses in a last-minute decision, because she didn't have her ID when she left that night. A seemingly small mistake that ended up having a much larger impact following the horrible events only hours later.
When the 18-year-old woman arrived at the Congress Theater for the concert, she was turned away because she didn't have her ID. Security cameras show that she went inside a nearby restaurant, where she met up with six young men. An employee of the restaurant saw them leave together. They weren't gone long before some of the boys returned to the restaurant to report that a girl was lying naked on the sidewalk. The restaurant employee noticed blood stains on their jeans.
The employee went outside and called security guards, presumably from the nearby concert, to grab the boys. Three of the six were found and taken into questioning. No charges were filed. Strangely, the woman's purse was found in the driveway of Chicago's Cook County assistant public defender.
At 9:30 p.m., the woman was found, naked, beaten and bleeding and, on Sunday morning, was listed in critical condition and in a coma. Because she had forgotten her ID at home, the woman was not identified by her family until the following day. [via Chicago-Sun Times]
Please remember that this woman was not attacked because of something she wore or because she went out at night. Countless women wore and did exactly what they wanted on New Year's Eve and were not harassed or attacked. The only way to prevent sexual assault is to not commit sexual assault.
The Lovelyish family's thoughts are with the victim and her loved ones.

I have designed a new game. The goal is to locate a vict, er....Glitchen, and hunting them down in the streets to splank them and get away before retaliation. It is a bit of prankish fun.
Some Rules:
Splanking must be a surprise, and YOU have to pop in on them, not vice versa.
Teleporting is allowed
Homestreets and Towers are off limits. (makes the game too easy)
You can't splank a victim twice in one UR day.
Today so far I have splanked Flask and Rnixon the Crook. I had to run both of them down through several streets, so it is harder than you think. Plus, not many Glitchen are roaming the streets right now.
If your victims says "WTF!", link them back to this forum. Let me know who you splanked!!!
EDIT - TRY NOT TO SPLANK THE SAME GLITCH OVER AND OVER (with the exception of me, cuz I started it) so you don't get blocked for being a jolly prankster.

While you have a point about playing poorly on the road the Ravens and Flacco have played well in Pitt the last 3 reg. season contests. Really the Ravens should be on a 3 game reg. season winning streak at Heinz.
As for the theory of playing poorly on the road the Ravens are .500 on the road and basically undefeated at home the last 3 years. While it doesn't always look pretty they find a way to win. Last I checked only 1-2 teams are dominant on the road and at home (Pats, Steelers at times). Even the really good teams like the Ravens are mostly .500 on the road regardless of the competition.
They share the opinion that he's inconsistent. The guy takes some hard shots and gets right back up firing. His biggest issue is processing information versus the defense he sees. That leads to hesitation which leads to uneven play.
He has though seemingly found a comfort level versus LeBeau's defense. I look for Dick to have his corners in press man and force Flacco to make plays down the seams to the TE's where Clark and Mundy will be waiting to deliver big hits. This could lead to TO's and some easy points.
From a Steeler's fan point of view, I think there is too much negativity about Flacco.
He has his resume on tape which has been excellent. Sometimes listening to your fan base and the media it seems they expect the guy to be Superman. He has been an excellent franchise quarterback.
When pressured he makes mistakes which seems to be his one negative.
The other thing that puzzles me about Flacco is his sideline behavior. Many quarterbacks spend their time talking to the O Co-oridnator or their receivers between plays. Flacco seems to sit by himself and not get involved as opposed to Manning for instance who huddles the offense up and talks strategy.
Ben annoys me as well when he says, "I'm not a film guy." I wish he was.
I think the cameras focus on Joe when its opportune for them....ie when he looks disillusioned and uninterested.
Last week after his pick he was shown talking to Cam and Jacoby Jones about what happened (after Joe chewed out Jones). The networks love to push this image that Joe is an aloof weirdo when he's not.
As for Ben I think he plays to his image as a lumberjack who happens to play football. He studies and knows the game inside and out.
He's just a drama queen.
There is a clear dysfunctional disconnect between Flacco and Cameron. That's why most informed analysts said that one of them had to go, just like up with the Jets between Sanchez and Schotty. The problem is that the Ravens chose to re-sign Cameron, and even after hiring Caldwell, who's up in the booth and not on the sideline, the dysfunctional communication and relationship between him and Joe is obvious.
horrible road, just horrible...look at these stinking numbers from just theor AFCN road games....
In the last 2 seasons + this years trip to the Cleveland, the Ravens are 6-1 in AFCN road games....last loss was the 2nd game of 2010 at Cincinnati.....
absolutely disgusting results...I don't know how they make the playoffs with such crappy road performances in the division...I'm baffled...got an answer....
it depends...do you believe in perception being reality...or reality being reality?
if you believe the former, then it's not sarcasm, it's a factual rebuttal...if you believe in the latter, you'd get that it was pure sarcasm...
this bad road team meme people cling to is really sad....when you start peeling back the onion, it becomes apparent the road woes are probably related to playing fairly unfamiliar opponents.....do agree 6-1 is a fairly solid road record against division rivals?
I was talking about this year. If they had played decent teams in Kansas City and Cleveland, both would have been losses. They got blown out in Houston and lost in Philly. They've played horrible on the road this year and that's what I was basing my prediction on. If they prove me wrong, wonderful. I'll love every second of it. I hope they do. But until I see a solid, 4-quarter performance from this team on the road against a quality opponent, I'll stick with my opinion. Pittsburgh 23; Baltimore 20.
now it's just this year...well that changes exactly nothing...winning on the road in the NFL such an easy thing to do, I keep forgetting that....the style point column mist be maintained...and oh by the way, they philly game came down to an atrocious call...the terrible chiefs team just lost to in OT to Steelers.....
what the saying about ifs and buts?
I say your best bet is to cower in a corner and turn your tv off....
Steelers 17-10.

I know it might be too soon for a good answer on this, but is there any rough idea what time the Minibosses will be playing? I've got to leave PAX early on Friday for an unavoidable previous evening commitment, but I'm thinking if the 'Bosses are closing out the Friday night show I might be able to return around midnight and (hopefully) still catch their set...

I was hesitant because some LED lights are just not that bright. This one however lights up the entire porch. Max light time is 2 minutes, but stays on if you are there moving around. Perfect solution if you need light in a non/hard to wire area.

U.S. Vice President Joe Biden answes a question during the vice presidential debate with Republican vice presidential nominee Paul Ryan (not pictured) in Danville, Kentucky, October 11, 2012. REUTERS/John Gress
By Patricia Zengerle
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Joe Biden's spirited performance in the vice presidential debate had Republicans criticizing him for snide grins and a comment on Libya, but it set the stage for President Barack Obama to try to regain his footing during a rematch with challenger Mitt Romney next Tuesday.
After Obama was seen as largely passive against resurgent Republican Romney last week in their first debate before the November 6 election, Biden fired up Democrats in Thursday's vice presidential debate by aggressively challenging Paul Ryan, Romney's running mate, on taxes, healthcare and foreign policy.
Polls showed voters saw the debate largely as a draw.
Greg Valliere, who analyzes politics for investors at Potomac Research Group, said he thought Ryan "won on points," but that Biden energized the Democrats and stopped the slide.
"This entertaining debate was all about Biden, who easily cleared a low bar," Valliere said in a note to clients on Friday.
In a sign the race is tightening again, Romney led Obama by 1 percentage point, 46 to 45 percent, among likely voters in the Reuters/Ipsos daily online tracking poll released on Friday. Romney led by 3 percentage points in Thursday's poll. Most poll respondents were questioned before the vice presidential debate.
Republicans tried to prevent Biden's performance from providing momentum for the Democratic ticket by criticizing the vice president's demeanor during the debate. They said Biden grinned too much and was rude to Ryan during their animated encounter.
And they made Biden's comments about security at the U.S. diplomatic compound in Benghazi, Libya, on September 11 their theme of the day, hoping to puncture Obama's credibility on foreign policy.
When asked during the debate about whether the mission had requested more security in the months leading up to the attack, Biden said, "Well, we weren't told they wanted more security again. We did not know they wanted more security again."
At a campaign rally in Richmond, Virginia, Romney accused Biden of contradicting testimony by U.S. State Department officials who said this week that the consulate had raised fears about security before the attack, which killed Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three other Americans.
"He's doubling down on denial," the former Massachusetts governor told the a cheering crowd.
Democrats dismissed the Republicans' stance as a bid to politicize a tragedy.
Biden's strong performance gave Obama a chance to stabilize his campaign after a bad week and deliver his own vigorous argument for why he deserves a second term in the White House.
A good showing at the presidential debate set for Tuesday at Hofstra University in Hempstead, New York, could give Obama a chance to halt Romney's rise since the two went head-to-head in Denver on October 3.
Fresh off that debate performance, Romney grabbed a small lead in many national opinion polls, reversing what had been a small but growing advantage for Obama since the Democratic convention in early September.
Obama was traveling to Williamsburg, Virginia, on Saturday to spend three days getting ready for the next debate.
Democratic U.S. Representative Chris Van Hollen, who helped Biden prepare, said he expected Obama to come out swinging during the town-hall style contest on Tuesday.
"I think the president will be more aggressive in terms of the facts. After all, in the last debate the president essentially listened as Mitt Romney reinvented himself and Mitt Romney reinvented all their proposals," Van Hollen told MSNBC.
Biden, 69, scored points against Ryan, the 42-year-old congressman from Wisconsin, with a fiery delivery that highlighted his experience in foreign policy and hit hard on domestic issues.
Ryan largely met his challenge of trying to show he was knowledgeable and presidential - and that Romney had not made a mistake in choosing him as his running mate.
The two campaigns both claimed victory after the debate.
"Most people who saw last night saw Paul Ryan as someone who had a command of the facts, had a clear, positive agenda for the future, and someone who's very serious about the serious issues that we face as (a) country," Republican advisor Ed Gillespie said on MSNBC's "Morning Joe."
Biden sharply questioned many of the Romney-Ryan team's positions, hitting Ryan hard on issues that Obama frustrated supporters by failing to contest in the first presidential debate.
Biden pounced upon Romney's tax returns, the Republican's position to let U.S. automakers go bankrupt, his proposal to let struggling homeowners lose their houses, and his dismissal of 47 percent of the American public as unproductive parasites.
The third and final presidential debate will take place on October 22 in Florida.

VimpelCom signs deal with Nokia to provide carrier billing support for the Windows Phone Store
Nokia has announced that it has signed an agreement with VimpelCom Ltd, a global provider of telecommunications services (reportedly the 6th largest mobile operator in the world). The partnership will deliver a new way for consumers to enjoy digital entertainment in the Windows Phone Store, and is also being backed by Microsoft.
VimpelCom has said that consumers who are subscribers on the mobile network will be able to use their phone bills as a payment gateway, much like what we're seeing with some mobile operators already. Instead of using a credit card, customers will also be able to add the cost of a game or app to a monthly bill or have it deducted from prepaid credit.
Nokia is a leading brand in many of VimpelCom's markets, which provides a strong platform for the mobile operator to offer an enhanced mobile experience when using an app store to purchase content from developers. The company will also provide a dedicated "VimpelCom Shelf", which will make it easy for VimpelCom customers to navigate their way through the content available in the Windows Phone Store.
Available via the local Windows Phone Store, the "VimpelCom Shelf" will feature up to 200 selected applications, tailored to offer local content and services. Pretty neat addition for consumers who are subscribed to the network. Mikhail Gerchuk, VimpelCom's Group Chief Commercial and Strategy Officer, had the following to say on the deal:
"The Windows Phone mobile partnership will enable us to significantly enhance the smartphone experience for our customers. With the 'VimpelCom Shelf' we will bring tailored content to VimpelCom customers around the globe who use Windows Phone smartphones and will provide them with the most convenient way to access and pay for apps. In many of our markets we will be the first operator to launch mobile account payments for the Windows Phone Store."
It's expected that VimpelCom will roll out carrier billing and the new "VimpelCom Shelf" later this year.

And here I thought there'd be much more "WTF is VimpelCom?!" comments.
Anyway, it's the second largest mobile opreator and probably the third largest ISP in Russia.

Legendary Heroes: Game play example
May 20, 2013 by
This is an example of a game of Fallen Enchantress: Legendary Heroes. For my own personal enjoyment, I create my own backstories and motivations for what occurs in a given game. In reality, Fallen Enchantress games are played in a "sandbox". That is, the world is randomly generated and what happens changes from game to game. This story is about one particular game. The world you see described here will never happen again nor will the events ever be repeated because e...
The Star Trek Into Darkness thread
May 17, 2013 by
Putting aside the debate over whether the I in Into is capitalized or not, the movie was terrific.
No spoilers in this post.
Having managed to avoid spoilers going into the theater I was surprised again and again as the movie progressed. It's very much a character driven story. Sure, there are some great special effects and some surprisingly detailed depictions of Earth in the 23rd century (more than I think we've ever gotten in a Star Trek film).
Because of the massi...
I uninstalled Starcraft, now I'm lonely and dejected
May 13, 2013 by
Understand, I love Starcraft. But I finally got to the point where I can't play it anymore and have fun. I'm a low-level "Gold" league player. And the problem (for me) is that at a certain point, it's really about the micro of the units. I managed to get to the level I was at because I'm pretty good at macro – I play as a virus that is always trying to spread across the map and unless you counter me consistently, it'll eventually all be mine.
But at a certain point –...
Getting the bees settled for 2013
May 9, 2013 by
Our background orchard has an apriary. I lost most of my hives this past year. Some of it due to CCD and some of it due to kids with too much time on their hands who come over and knock over the beehives from time to time (and tear off the no trespassing signs). I could probably write a lengthy article on the cultural rot of upper-middle class teenagers who don't have jobs, have never had to do anything and have a lot of free time to get into trouble. But that's a different topic..
3D Printer Opinions
May 7, 2013 by
3D Printing seems to have crossed a major mile stone in that a start-up, called Defense Distributed, has used a 3D printer to create a working gun. It's still mostly a curiosity since the cost to make such a gun and that it isn't yet very robust still keeps it firmly in the early adopter era.
So here's what I've found out so far :
No matter which printer you get, the materials for it are currently over $100 a pound. To me, that makes it fairly impractical for most uses. I could imagine...
Legendary Heroes Scenario: Concluding the War of Magic
May 6, 2013 by
Once upon a time… Thousands of years ago, the world of Elemental was filled with magic. This was the time of the Magi. In their quest to create ever more powerful magical devices, the Magi foolishly created The Forge of the Overlord. It allowed its users to bend the fabric of reality entirely. It also brought their world to the attention of the Dred'nir, immortal Titans who lived beyond the world. They arrived and utterly destroyed the Magi and enslaved manki...

The Oblivion movie thread
April 22, 2013 by
My wife and I saw this on Friday. I won't put any spoilers in this post but suffice to say I was fairly disappointed. Tom Cruise did about all he could do with it and the production values were amazing but the story fell flat for me.

Why 64-bit and Multiple cores matter
April 21, 2013 by
There are two main problems game developers, particularly *strategy* game developers are trying to deal with these days:
1. Memory
2. Feeding the GPU
There's almost a third which involves CPU starvation which has to do with the poor way we handle our data structures but that's a lesser issue.
Now, with regards to memory, we can say all day that graphics shouldn't matter but they do. Forums are full of people saying how much they still like some old game but the...
In business, setbacks can be life saving
April 21, 2013 by
I was struck by how many Steve Jobs biographers have emphasized how important it was that Jobs got kicked out of Apple. That experience changed him and in the long-run, made him a much better businessman.
Pride before the fall is a truism and even being aware of it doesn't prevent one from falling into into that trap.
Right now, as I write this, Stardock is doing better than at any time in its history. But it's only doing so well now because of changes we made 3 years ago. Because 3 ye...
The Amazing Walt Disney
April 13, 2013 by
I've been doing a lot of reading on Walt Disney recently and he tale is both amazing and quintessential. His professional life was a conflict between his desire to do amazing work with the challenges of running a business.
Early in his career, Disney was devoted to moving "cartooning" into being a serious art. His first true sound cartoon, the famous Steamboat Willy, required the invention of numerous new technologies in order to synchronize the sound with the animation. It was ...

Breakfast TV: EEO Trust Chief Executive discusses workplace racismOn May 16, Bev Cassidy-MacKenzie, Chief Executive of the EEO Trust spoke to Breakfast TV about the increasing incidence of workplace racism. To watch the video, click here>> |
Enter the Work & Life Awards 2013The Equal Employment Opportunities Trust is inviting all workplaces to enter the EEO Trust Work & Life Awards as it is fun to do and good for your business profile as well as employee morale. To view the entry guidelines>>To read case studies from previous winners>>For entry assistance>> |
15 May 2013
The Equal Employment Opportunities Trust is disappointed the majority of complaints about racism are coming from employees and those seeking work.
The chief executive of the EEO Trust says figures from the Human Rights Commission over the last five years show that discrimination and harassment on the grounds of race or colour occurs most commonly in the work place and is on the rise.
Bev Cassidy-Mackenzie says in 2010 there were 59 complaints of racial harassment and 44 of them stemmed from employment, and last year of the 71 complaints 44 came from the workplace.
"Racism surrounding employment comes in many different forms – some job seekers were not given work due to their ethnicity, others suffered racist comments and abuse at work while others were treated badly because of their accent."

Mr. GORDON moved that the House now go into a Committee of the Whole for the further consideration of the several reports from the Judiciary Committee in regard to the pending Constitutional amendments.
The motion was carried, and Mr. Jewett took the chair.
Mr. WILLIAMS, of Knox, said: Being the author of the resolution which resulted in the several reports from the Judiciary Committee, now before us for consideration, I will not enter upon as elaborate a review of the subject, as I had intended, for the reason that so many members have and will take part in the debate that each of the points will be fully presented and thoroughly canvassed, and my attempting to touch them all would be trespassing upon the good nature of the House. Prior to the close of the polls last November, I was the candidate of a political party and its representative. When the result of that election was declared, I became the representative, not of one political party or of the other, but the Representative of the whole people of my District in the General Assembly. In my obligation to support the Constitution, that obligation included every article and section thereof. There was no mental reservation in that obligation in the case of Article 16 of the instrument in question. This instrument is no mere temporary agreement entered into to-day to be revoked to morrow. It is ordained by the voice of the people, and the voice of the people is the voice of God. My County has 6,000 voters. I received a petition praying for the submission of the amendments signed by less than 100 voters. I personally know these men who signed it. They are honest, law-abiding citizens. Many of my personal friends, who would scorn to do a wrong thing, and had they understood that they, by signing that paper, were asking me to forget my oath and commit moral perjury, they would under no circumstances have signed it. Understand me, I do not mean to say that other gentlemen who see fit to vote for the Jewett or Frazer report will commit perjury, but I do say it would be perjury for me to do so, for the reason that I believe in doing so I would not be supporting the Constitution.
If I could I would like to vote for submission. If the prohibition amendment was in proper condition to be submitted I would be glad to submit It. Mr. Williams continued at some length.
Mr SHIVELY said: If I should have consulted my physical condition to-day I am sure I would have remained silent. I take it, Mr. Chairman, that th subject for discussion is a narrow one-a plain one indeed. The whole question hinges upon the construction we pine upon twelve words in the Constitution. Gentlemen have contended here that these amendments are invalid because of the failure of the Clerk two years ago to enter them upon the journal. The gentleman from Marion (Mr. Bynam) held that the word "enter" meant but one thing and that was that they should be entered in full. I have endeavored in the little time I have given to this subject to find, if I could, what is the legal definition of the word 'enter." [Mr. Shively here read legal authority, showing that the word had a double signification, and that it did not necessarily mean to spread at large.] Gentlemen have referred to the Iowa decision. It has been referred to often by almost every member on the opposite side of this House. But I undertake to say that the Constitution itself settles this question, and let us not go abroad for light upon it, [Here Mr. Shiveley read certain portions of the Constitution.] When the framers of the Constitution meant that anything should be entered at large, they said so, leaving no room for doubt. I undertake to say that this reading puts at rest forever the rightful construction of this language. If they meant it should be spread at large, why did they not say so? Gentlemen have spoken of the wisdom and learning of the Constitutional framers and I join with them in such praise. I undertake to say that they understood the meaning of the word "entry," and that when they meant it should be entered at large they carefully expressed it so I would call attention to the decision of the Supreme Court of Kansas, and the gentlemen on the other side have been very quiet about that decision. [Mr. Shiveley spoke at some length, citing authorities, etc.
Mr. PRICE said: I desire to make a few remarks to show plainly to the legal voters of my County why I vote as I shall on the reports under consideration. The Constitution should be supreme and above every party tie. The members on the other side of the House come pledged by their State platform to agree to the amendments page: 127[View Page 127] and submit them to the electors of the State at a special election I would not do the friends of the amendments the injustice of voting to submit said amendments to the people, believing that if ratified by the people the Supreme Court would have to declare them null and void, 'and thereby leave us in a similar condition like Iowa. The main question is Are these amendments before this body strictly in accord with the provisions of the Constitution. The Constitution shall be my guide in voting in the reports now pending. The people, so far as I am informed, do not desire to have the amendments submitted to them if there Is any doubt of the legality of their condition.
Mr. WILSON, of Kosciusko, said: I do not believe that the framers of the Constitution used words of doubtful meaning. I believe that when they made that fifteenth article of the Constitution they studied every word that entered into it. It has been claimed here by gentlemen this afternoon that this is simply a political question, and that prohibition is a child of Republican birth, and that It has not off its swaddling clothes. But I want them to show me n full-grown man of Democratic origin. They chum the consistent position upon this proposition. It is said that consistency is a jewel, but I do not admit that it is a jewel in this instance. The Republican party never crosses a stream until it comes to it. But we find the Democratic party now constructing pontoons to cross a silt-lip, before it has crime to it. In reference to the Wabash and Erie Canal amendment the gentleman from Knox (Mr Williams) said it was all right though it was not Constitutionally passed, simply because the people indorsed it. What kind of logic is that? The gentleman on the other side know that if they submit these amendments they will lose one faction of their party, and if they do not submit them they will lose another faction.
Mr. GIBSON said: In the outset I had decided not to say a word. I admit that some gentlemen have made very able arguments on this question, arguments that would have sounded very well before a Court. I have said to myself what a benighted body this Legislature would have be without any Constitutional lawyer in it. In my opinion a model Legislature would be a Legislature without a lawyer in it. I acknowledge that there have been very able discussions on both sides of this question. The only question before us is whether this provision of the Constitution is mandatory or directory. You roust go back then to the decisions of the Court to see for yourself whether or not this question is mandatory or directory. Is it strange mat these gentlemen who have registered their oath in heaven are all men that are against the legality of the Constitutional amendments? In my opinion if there had been no Iowa decision, there would have been no reference of this matter to the Judiciary Committee, and we would have adjourned without knowing that we have here many Constitutional lawyers I am sorry that the gentlemen who just preceded me (Mr. Wilson, of Kosciusko) got a little tinge of politics in his arguments. I am sorry that he took that course I am a Democrat from principle. I am against prohibition from principle; but it required quite a trial in my mind whether I would decide for principle or for suffering humanity. Is it not better of this body should err at all that it should be on the side of suffering humanity?
I have always been taught that if you could find me a case, as a precedent in your own State, it was worth a dozen in any other. I believe that if it had been a convenient resolution it would have been necessary to have spread it at large upon the journals, because a concurrent resolution is not signed by the presiding officers of the two Houses. The amendment to the Constitution passed two years ago was a joint resolution. It was signed by the President of the Senate and the Speaker of the House, and filed in the office of the Secretary of State, when that was done it was all that was necessary to bring it before this House. The Supreme Court of Indiana decided that if the amendments are signed by the Speaker of the House and the President of the Senate the Court does not examine the record to see whether or not all the steps were taken. The gentlemen on the opposite side of this question avoid this decision. They go to Iowa for a decision, and that not a unanimous decision. They also avoid the Kansas decision which in my judgment is the best of all.
MR. SUTTON-I regard the question now before the House of sufficient importance to command its most serious consideration. We are to decide by our votes a simple proposition, and yet, notwithstanding, it is in itself unpretentious, it involves principle which confers upon it such weight and seriousness that to ascertain the right and maintain it when found, demands the exercise of qualities of head and heart, which vitalize conscience, strengthen judgment, adorn the representative and extort approval.
Fortunately the question now before the House is, in so far as the Constitution is concerned, placed above partisanism. The Constitution knows no party-under its broad shield all parties find protection. The real question before the House is, Shall the Constitution be obeyed?
Sir, It is the Constitution that brings us here; it is that instrument that clothes this body with power to enact and repeal laws. We are in our representative capacity creatures of the Constitution, nor can any voice be heard in this hall, nor any vote be recorded upon any matter within the entire range of legislation, until the representative has taken an oath to obey the Constitution, I for one am glad that it provides for its own defense. It is the fundamental law, the foundation upon which the Governmental superstructure is built. It is a Constution of the people, by the people and for the people. Like all Constitution, it has one grand purpose in view, stability. Conscitutions are wisely conservative: as a general proposition, they are the result of research, of patient though, cool deliberation, and compromise. They state fundamental truths, map out lines of policy within which the people who live under them and are protected by them may exercise all their inalienable rights, maintain their independence and urge forward all their enterprises of progress and prosperity.
Constitutions wisely provide for their own amendments or abrogation. If a new Constitution is to be framed the old Constitution distinctly declares what shall be

Mary Landrieu on Civil RightsDemocratic Sr Senator (LA) |
- the flag of the US is a unique symbol of national unity...
- the Bill of Rights should not be amended in a manner that could be interpreted to restrict freedom...
- abuse of the flag causes more than pain and distress... and may amount to fighting words...
- destruction of the flag of the US can be intended to incite a violent response rather than make a political statement and such conduct is outside the protections afforded by the first amendment to the Constitution.
Marriage in the United States shall consist only of the union of a man and a woman. Neither this Constitution, nor the constitution of any State, shall be construed to require that marriage or the legal incidents thereof be conferred upon any union other than the union of a man and a woman.
The amendment is about how we are going to raise the next generation. It is not an issue that the courts should resolve. Those of us who support this amendment are doing so in an effort to let the people decide.
Supporters rail against activist judges. But if this vaguely worded amendment ever passes, it will result in substantial litigation. What are the legal incidents of marriage? Is a civil union a marriage?
Strengthen America�s Common Civic Culture
The more ethnically and culturally diverse America becomes, the harder we must all work to affirm our common civic culture -- the values and democratic institutions we share and that define our national identity as Americans. This means we should resist an �identity politics� that confers rights and entitlements on groups and instead affirm our common rights and responsibilities as citizens. Multiethnic democracy requires fighting discrimination against marginalized groups; empowering the disadvantaged to join the economic, political, and cultural mainstream; and respecting diversity while insisting that what we have in common as Americans is more important than how we differ. One way to encourage an ethic of citizenship and mutual obligation is to promote voluntary national service.
If expanded to become available to everyone who wants to participate, national service can help turn the strong impulse toward volunteerism among our young people into a major resource in addressing our social problems. It will also help revive a sense of patriotism and national unity at a time when military service is no longer the common experience of young Americans.
Our ratings are based on the votes the organization considered most important; the numbers reflect the percentage of time the representative voted the organization's preferred position.
Amends the Small Business Act with respect to the women's business centers program to provide Small Business Administration funding authority for nonprofit organizations conducting projects for the benefit of small businesses owned and controlled by women. Increases from 30 to 54 the percentage of appropriated women's business center funds to be used during FY 2004 for sustained women's business center projects.
OnTheIssues.org interprets the 2005-2006 HRC scores as follows:
The Human Rights Campaign represents a grassroots force of more than 700,000 members and supporters nationwide. As the largest national gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender civil rights organization, HRC envisions an America where GLBT people are ensured of their basic equal rights, and can be open, honest and safe at home, at work and in the community.
Ever since its founding in 1980, HRC has led the way in promoting fairness for GLBT Americans. HRC is a bipartisan organization that works to advance equality based on sexual orientation and gender expression and identity.
OnTheIssues.org interprets the 2005-2006 NAACP scores as follows:
The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) has worked over the years to support and promote our country's civil rights agenda. Since its founding in 1909, the NAACP has worked tirelessly to end racial discrimination while also ensuring the political, social, and economic equality of all people. The Association will continue this mission through its policy initiatives and advocacy programs at the local, state, and national levels. From the ballot box to the classroom, the dedicated workers, organizers, and leaders who forged this great organization and maintain its status as a champion of social justice, fought long and hard to ensure that the voices of African Americans would be heard. For nearly one hundred years, it has been the talent and tenacity of NAACP members that has saved lives and changed many negative aspects of American society.
A resolution recognizing the historical significance of Juneteenth Independence Day and expressing that history should be regarded as a means for understanding the past and solving the challenges of the future.
Recognizes the historical significance to the nation, and supports the continued celebration, of Juneteenth Independence Day (June 19, 1865, the day Union soldiers arrived in Galveston, Texas, with news that the Civil War had ended and that the enslaved African Americans were free). Declares the sense of Congress that:
Prohibits employment discrimination on the basis of actual or perceived sexual orientation or gender identity by covered entities (employers, employment agencies, labor organizations, or joint labor-management committees). Prohibits preferential treatment or quotas. Allows only disparate treatment claims. Prohibits related retaliation.
