Law of Twelve Tables (450 BC)
Ancient legislation at the foundation of Roman Law. Formed the centerpiece of the constitution of the Roman Republic. Was secret and kept among Patrician class initially, but Plebeians found out and demanded that it be published so they would know the law. The Decemvirate (board of ten men) completed the first ten codes by 450 BC.
During Roman Republic, nobiles described social rank, indicating a family member achieved the consulship. Hereditary patrician families were noble, but plebeians whose ancestors were consuls were also 'nobiles'. Transition to nobilitas requires rise of an exceptional individual. Two famous ones include: Gaius Marius and Marcus Tullius Cicero.
A right of tribunes (elected officials) in Ancient Rome to not be harmed physically. Plebeians (lower-class) took an oath to regard anyone who laid hands on a tribune as an outlaw liable to be killed without penalty.
Punic Wars
A series of 3 wars fought between Rome and Carthage (264-146 BC). Largest wars of their time. Main cause of these wars was conflicts of interest between existing Carthaginian Empire and the expanding Roman Republic. Romans wanted to expand via Sicily, part of which lay under Carthaginian control. Carthage was in control at beginning, but by the end, Rome had conquered the empire and became most powerful state of Western Mediterranean.

Battle of Cannae
Major battle in 2nd Punic War in 216 BC. Army of Carthage defeated a high numbered army of the Roman Republic. One of the greatest tactical feats in military history to this day and the 2nd greatest defeat of Rome (in number of people killed).
Scipio Africanus
General in the 2nd Punic War and statesman of the Roman Republic. Defeated Hannibal (Carthage) at final battle of the 2nd Punic War at Zama, which made him one of the finest commanders in military history. He was a consul.
Battle of Zama (202 BC)
Final and decisive end of 2nd Punic War. Scipio Africanus defeated Hannibals force here, and soon after the Carthaginian senate sued for peace which was given to them by Roman Republic on humiliating terms ending the 17-year war. The treaty was unlike the first one to ensure they would never have a chance at military might in the future again. They could not wage war against Rome again without Rome's permission.
The Gracchi Land Commission (122 BC)
Gracchus was elected tribune in 123 BC and proposed numerous reforms: protecting citizens from banishment by magistrates without trial, dividing public lands among the poor, supplying soldiers with clothing at state expense, extending the franchise to Italians, founding colonies at Tarentum and Capua,
constructing roads, and providing grain for the poor at a low price. Facing the people instead of senate when he spoke, all these laws were passed and Gaius was allowed to select the new jurors.
Gaius Marius
A roman general and statesman elected consul 7 times. Made dramatic reforms of Roman Armies (Marian Reforms), authorized recruitment of landless citizens, and reorganized structure of legions into separate cohorts. He helped Rome transition from Republic to Empire. He promised land after war to landless citizens who proved to be successful in war, so they would have prerogative.
Sulla - Proscription of the Senate (83 BC)
Roman General and statesman, who held office and dictatorship. Didn't lose battles, only man in history to have attacked and occupied both Athens and Rome. Reformed Roman constitution to restore balance of power between Senate and Tribunes, then resigned dictatorship restoring normal constitutional government. He instituted a program of executing those he perceived to be enemies of the state. Proscribing (outlawing) those against him, he ordered 1500 nobles (senators) to be executed.
Pompey (106-48 BC)
a military and political leader of the late Roman Republic on Sulla's side.
ompey joined his rival Marcus Licinius Crassus and his ally and father-in-law Julius Caesar in the military-political alliance known as the First Triumvirate. He sided with the Optimates though, and w
hen Caesar defeated him at the battle of Pharsalus, he sought refuge in Egypt, where he was assassinated. His career and defeat are significant in Rome's subsequent transformation from Republic to Principate and Empire.
The First Triumvirate (60 B.C.)
The political alliance of Gaius Julius Caesar, Crassus and Pompey. Had no official status, but had overwhelming power in the roman republic and was kept secret for some time. Crassus and Pompey were consuls and colleagues, but competitive. Caesar combined their clout with his own to be elected consul in 59 BC. he was already friends with crassus but solidified his friendship with Pompey by giving him his daughters hand in marriage. Combined wealth, power and popularity dominated roman politics.
The Crossing of the Rubicon (49 BC)
The idiom "Crossing the Rubicon" means to pass apoint of no return, and refers to Julius Caesar's crossing of the river in 49 BC, which was considered an act of war.
Roman law specified that only the elected magistrates (consuls and praetors) could hold
within Italy. Any promagistrate who entered Italy forfeited his
and was therefore no longer legally allowed to command troops. It was punishable by death. Pompey and Roman Senate fled in fear. This was followed by his victory.
THe Ides of March
March 15. festive day dedicated to the God Mars and a military parade was usually held. It is the date that Caesar was killed in 44BC. Stabbed to death by Roman Senate led by Brutus, Longinus and 60 other co-conspirators.
Gaius Octavius
Ancestor of Julio-Claudian dynasty, father of Augustus, grandpa of TIberius, and Great Great grandpa of Caligula, etc. His family was Plebeian, and he was a "new man" who became great.
his deeds included leading the Roman forces to victory in an unexpected battle against the Thracian Bessian tribe. He was elected Consul because Cicero liked him.
The Second Triumvirate (44 BC)
Political alliance of Augustus or Octavius, Lepidus and Mark Antony in 43 BC with the enactment of Lex Titia, the adoption of which marked the end of the Roman Republic. They existed for 2 five-year terms. They were official and legally established, overwhelmingly powerful and outranked other magistrates including the consuls. Antony marries Octavia, Octavius's sister, but lived with Cleopatra. He chased him to Egypt and the lovers committed suicide.
Proconsular Imperium
Augustus (Octavius) was granted proconsular imperium (extended in 19 BC to a life term), and this
meant that he could overrule the authority of other provincial governors in their own provinces. Although there were (dubious) Republican precedents for the holding of
maius imperium
(Pompey had had it in the 60's), Augustus' was unique in that it did not stop at the
the sacred boundary of the city.
Town buried by volcano of Mt. Vesuvius, still being explored today for artifacts indicating Ancient Rome's history and artifacts.
The Good Emperors
Nerva–Antonine dynasty
is a dynasty of seven consecutive Roman Emperors, who ruled over the Roman Empire from 96 to 192. These Emperors are Nerva, Trajan,Hadrian, Antoninus Pius, Marcus Aurelius, Lucius Verus, and Commodus. A unique feature is their method of succession, under which an emperor adopted the candidate of his choice to be successor. Under Roman law, an adoption established a bond legally as strong as that of kinship. They are also called Adoptive Emperors. Senate also liked them
Roman Emperor from 180 to 192. He also ruled as co-emperor with his father Marcus Aurelius from 177 until his father's death in 180. His accession as emperor was the first time a son had succeeded his father since Titus succeeded Vespasian in 79. Commodus was the first emperor "born to the purple"; i.e., born during his father's reign. Selfish, lavish and disinterested in business. Senate didn't like him, army did and people did.
Battle of Milvian Bridge (312 BC)
Took place between the Roman Emperors Constantine I and Maxentius on 28 October 312. It takes its name from the Milvian Bridge, an important route over the Tiber. Constantine won the battle and started on the path that led him to end the Tetrarchy and become the sole ruler of the Roman Empire. Maxentius drowned in the Tiber during the battle. the battle marked the beginning of Constantine's conversion to Christianity. Constantine and his soldiers had a vision that God promised victory.

LUSH 30 Day Challenge - Day 11
If you've had a terrible day, what LUSH product do you use as a pick-me-up?
This is fairly easy! If I'm having a terrible day, I retreat to the tub and take whatever bath products are available to me to cocktail or use alone. Depending on what I have, I prefer the ones that have sweet/fruity/floral scents. That's an awful description, so what I mean by that is I give preference to vanilla, tonka bean, and orange flower infusions, along with bergamot, orange, neroli, jasmine, and ylang ylang essential oils. Based on this, Satsumo Santa (Christmas!), Yuzu & Cocoa, The Comforter (duh, it has that name for a reason), Creamy Candy, Happy Blooming (something about that scent is so nostalgic to me), Fizzbanger, Fluffy Chick (Easter!), Sunny Side, Sex Bomb, Dragon's Egg, You've Been Mangoed, MMM Melting Marshmallow Moments, Mrs. Whippy, Cinders (Christmas!), have all served as fantastic pick-me-ups, just to name a few.

Hallie Graves ′07
There's this myth that science students can't study abroad because we're so loaded down with labs, but I didn't buy it. I was happy to take an extra load, and my professors worked with me to get a physics course from Victoria University in New Zealand accepted for credit here at Rhodes.
I lived with three other students my age and learned so much. And it reminded me that the choice to come to Rhodes was a good one. I knew I wanted to be in classes where I didn't just get lectured to; I wanted to have a lot of interaction with my professors. The faculty here actually seek you out, so you don't ever get the sense that you're bothering them.
Another reason I wanted to come to a small college is, I didn't want to spend all my time in the lab. Don't get me wrong. I'm majoring in physics because I love it. Last year I tried to build a refrigerator cooled by sound. It didn't work as well as we hoped, but it was a lot of fun.
It's also fun being in the Rhodes Singers and working in the Financial Aid Office and hanging out with my friends on campus and in Memphis. It's great to be able to go down to the Orpheum and see a Broadway production of Chicago.
I was lucky enough to have good offers from other attractive schools, so choosing wasn't easy. Finally I thought, "I'm going to do what feels right to me. The other schools have their charms, but I could see myself at Rhodes from the minute I walked onto the campus." It's a decision I've never regretted.

McMinnville firefighters battle residential structure blaze
Jan 16, 2013
News-Register Staff
McMinnville firefighters responded early Wednesday evening to a fully involved residential structure fire southwest of town at 21185 S.W. Eagle Point Way, off Peavine Road.
The two-story home was a total loss, according to McMinnville Fire Division Chief Debbie McDermott. She said flames had consumed about three-quarters of the 1,200-1,400-square-foot home by the time the first crew arrived. The home, that McDermott said was probably built in the 1970s, was located off the road.
There was no one home at the time. McDermott said a dog was seen running around in the area of the home when the first crew reached the scene.
Equipment and personnel from the Amity Fire District also responded.
The Yamhill County Fire Investigation Team was on scene this morning in an effort to determine a cause.
More information will be posted when it becomes available.

Multistate Tax Alert: Oregon Issues Guidance for Protective Claims for Refund Based on MTC 3-Factor Election
Oregon's apportionment statutes appear to allow taxpayers to elect to use either Oregon's single-sales factor for apportioning business income or the Multistate Tax Compact's equally-weighted three-factor formula. However, the Oregon Department of Revenue (the "Department") believes that legislation adopted in 1993 prevents taxpayers from making this election. The issue of whether a taxpayer may make the election is the subject of ongoing litigation in the Oregon Tax Court. Pending the resolution of this litigation, the Department has published guidance explaining how taxpayers may submit protective claims to secure the right to a tax refund until the outcome of the Tax Court case is known.
In the attached Tax Alert we provide an overview of the relevant Oregon apportionment provisions and we summarize the Department's guidance regarding the filing of protective refund claims.

Police responded to Rihanna 's Los Angeles home Thursday in what turned out to be another case of someone "swatting" a celebrity.
TMZ.com reports a 911 call was made by someone who falsely claimed two armed men were inside Rihanna's home in the Pacific Palisades neighborhood of L.A. and that a person had been shot.
Diddy 's residence in the San Fernando Valley area of L.A. was "swatted" on Wednesday.

Someone mentioning a barigoule yesterday reminded me that a recent tasting note on this board referenced a chicken and artichoke pie recipe by Paula Wolfert that they had a particular wine with, and that description intrigued me. So I googled that description just now and managed to find ostensibly that recipe posted on another website (for people who have had bariatric surgery!!!). It's even more intriguing than I had imagined with all that cumin and cinnamon and the phyllo encasement, and I can't wait to give it a go. In the meantime, if y'all will forgive me for posting something unvetted, thought I'd share.
Paula Wolfert's Chicken and Artichoke Pie
4 small or 3 large chicken breasts
2 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp cinnamon; another 1 tsp set aside for later
1 tsp turmeric
1/2 cup chicken stock
some olive oil
2 leeks, chopped
a handful of chopped parsley (about 1/2 a bunch)
a handful of chopped cilantro (same)
2 jars artichoke hearts (canned in oil), chopped
200 g feta cheese, crumbled
2 eggs
phyllo dough sheets (about a dozen for a large pie)
butter, melted (about 2-3 oz)
Bake chicken, covered, at moderate heat with spices and stock, about 30 mins; chop the chicken into small chunks, reserve about 1/2 cup of the cooking liquid for later.
Stir-fry chopped leeks with olive oil (about 10 mins, until they are soft).
Combine chicken, reserved juices, leeks, parsley, cilantro, artichokes, feta cheese, egg, and the extra cinnamon in a bowl; mix well.
Be careful not to let the phyllo dough sheets dry out (I roll them back up every time I take one sheet). Melt the butter; use a pastry brush to spread butter all over the sheet. Put the sheet into a greased baking dish, so that the edges hang over. Continue until you have about a dozen sheets, arranged all around the dish. Scoop the filling into the dish; fold over the edges of the pastry sheets. If the pie is not fully covered, butter up a few more sheets and arranged them in the middle so everything is covered. Brush the top of the pie with butter.
For a large pie, bake for 20 mins at a moderate-high temperature (I usually go for 350); then for another 20 mins at moderate temperature (e.g. 300), until the pastry is golden.

What exactly did the Mars rover Curiosity find on the red planet this week that had the chief scientist call the discovery "one for the history books."
"The biggest news that would come from this instrument is that they found organic molecules - organic matter," said Dr. Steve Ruff.
Ruff is a scientist at Arizona State University's Mars Space Flight facility who was heavily involved with the Mars exploration rovers which landed in January 2004.
He cautions people not to get too excited about the mysterious discovery.
"This could be something very interesting to scientists -- but chances are -- I guarantee you this is not evidence -- they haven't found evidence for life on Mars, I guarantee that."
The leading theory is that it detected some type of organic material -- potential indicators of life on Mars, but scientists want to make sure the results are valid before formally announcing them.
At ASU, there's a full sized model of the rover Curiosity and it's bigger than you might think -- it's about the size of a small sport utility vehicle. And its exploration on the red planet has only just begun.
That means we could be hearing about many more exciting discoveries, but Dr. Ruff believes scientists may wait a little longer in the future before leaking any information to reporters.

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"I used the online chat twice and they were very helpful. I made specific requests on what I wanted it to say and it turned out great!"
"These are for my daughters wedding, and She i s procrastinator. Could not make a decision on what she wanted. She saw these and made the decision on the spot !"
"We ordered these save the dates for our autumn wedding in 2015. When the magnets arrived we were speechless. They are a perfect size- not too big and not too small. The design is even more beautiful in person, and the magnets arrive in a classy black box. We have already gotten tons of compliments- and our order arrived two days before the expected delivery date. We could not be happier with our purchase."
"We used this as our save the date magnet and are so happy with the results! The quality of the printing is phenomenal - so crisp and clear. The design is unique from the traditional one picture layouts, and we picked it as we had lots of pictures we wanted to share :) We used a combination of color and black and white photos, and the result turned out great. Our proof was ready in about a day and the full order shipped out a week earlier than expected! Thank you WeddingPaperDivas :)"
"I requested a complete change to this design. I removed the boarder and the stripes on the back, so I pretty much started with a blank card. I had a photo on each side. The designer did an AMAZING job. I suggested some things, and she had even better ideas. I'm very happy with the design. One thing that I wish I could have seen before ordering is the texture of the 2 options for paper type. I understand this can be difficult to appreciate from a computer screen. But, they could post a link to a YouTube video showing the difference between the paper. The one I chose (I forget the name, but it was the NON-pearlized one) ended up having a 'bumpy' surface. I wish it was completely smooth, since it makes my photo look strange in some places. But, I didn't go with the pearlized paper b/c I didn't want it to be too shiny/sparkly. Seeing it on video would have helped me make a better decision possibly."

For the AJC
The Tuesday basketball blog will take a break next week, Thanksgiving Week, as we will have blogs devoted to the football playoffs on Tuesday (Nov. 26) and Saturday (Nov. 30). The Tuesday basketball blog will return on Dec. 3.
For now, as promised last week, here are some girls to watch this season (if any of them have transferred, let us know, and let us know who we've overlooked as well), followed by a note about two spring sport athletes from Pace Academy who have made their college selections:
Ivy Atkism, George Walton Academy. The 6-1 senior is one of the premier post players in the state and is the leader of a team that finished 24-5 last season. She has reportedly committed to Clemson.
Erika Cassell, Holy Innocents'. The 6-2 Cassell averaged 16 points and 12 rebounds last season for the Region 5 champions, who advanced to the private school Final Four.
Marquita Daniels, Southwest Atlanta Christian Academy. The 5-7 senior is one of the top floor generals in the state. She averaged 13 points, 3 rebounds and 5 steals a game last season for a team that went 28-3 and was the private school runners up.
Kiyanna Johnson, Greenville. One of the most dynamic guards in the state, the 5-7 Johnson averaged more than 30 points per game for the Patriots last season.
A'Miracle Jones, Mitchell County. The 5-7 senior averaged 14 points per game last season, and will team with fellow senior Shonbreka Holton to form one of the best back courts in Georgia.
Candice Williams, St. Francis. The senior floor leader of the defending private school champions, the 5-7 Williams averaged 12 points and 5 assists per game last season.
Others to watch: G Brandi Buie (5-6), Calhoun County, Jr.; G Tatiana Mahone (5-10), Central-Talbotton, Sr.; G Stephanie Patton (5-8), Towns County, Sr.; G Jazmine Price (5-7), Claxton, Jr.; F Amber Skldael (5-11), Hebron Christian, Jr.
Pace Academy's Datoc, Ramirez sign baseball scholarships
Pace Academy shortstop/pitcher Jared Datoc and centerfielder Raphael Ramirez took advantage of the NCAA's early signing period to ink baseball scholarships last week to Georgia Tech and North Carolina State, respectively. Last season, Datoc hit .464 with a .578 on-base percentage, while Ramirez hit .435. Both were named first-team All-Region and 2013 Perfect Game Pre-Season High School All-Americans.
Please send information on any signings or commitments by Class A athletes to firstname.lastname@example.com.

Will the absence of Religion make the world more peaceful ?
One of my aunts who is an atheist insisted that the absence of Religion will make the world peaceful but according to my observations people always seem to associate themselves into some group and drift away from other communities if you may say so. For example: I live in India where each state has their own language thereby a separation is created by language and there are also people who dissociate themselves from other people based on looks, accent, tastes, preferences etc. So, do you really think that the absence of religion will make the world more peaceful?

Dec 4 2012: The absence of war will.
The absence of competition for each person's share of the earths resources will.
The stopping of killing life forms, the oceans and the continued degradation of all our ecological, environmental systems will.
The end of the monetary system will.
The ridding of the reasons for greed, crime, inequality, poverty, and slavery will.
So yes, the absence of religion will play a huge part for peace, FINALLY! Something religion has always says is one of its main intentions or purposes, can finally come to fruition if religion would only leave!

PIERCE COUNTY, WI (WTAQ) - Another deer hunter was shot and wounded in Wisconsin Wednesday morning.
Pierce County authorities said 45-year-old Tad Eggenberger of rural Ellsworth was shot in his lower waist by a stray bullet from another hunter in his party. They were on a deer drive when the incident occurred around 8 a.m.
He was flown to Regions Hospital in St. Paul Minnesota with undetermined injuries. Sheriff's officials said the incident was deemed to be accidental, but it remains under investigation.
Six hunters were wounded during the opening weekend of the nine-day gun season. We've had no reports of any hunters being shot to death.
Hollywood actor and Tomahawk native Jay Leggett collapsed and died last Saturday while returning to his hunting cabin. That's been the only reported death so far.
The gun season runs through Sunday.

Dissapointed that it does not come with a gas tube and roll pin. The tube should be told it needs a shorter tube than a standard barrel.
Good value but make sure you clean the chamber well as I have found debris sticking to the bdrrel extension that had to remove
barrel looks great! cant wait to finish my build to actually shoot it!!
Gopd fpr the price.
I got a 7.62X39 heavy barrel, so these comments are for that. It is well made and finished. If you use it as is, you will need a frt site post, detent and sg. Also you need a .30 cal flash hider, 5/8" instead of 1/2". You need the insides for the D ring. You have the barrel nut. You need a carbine gas tube and some handguards. Easy to find. You need a 7.62X39 bolt. If you plan on not using the front sight/gas get pro help. Frt site seems welded on. Get longer gas port to cover up holes/cuts.

When my kids were small and they were getting excited for Christmas, I'd tell them how many days and they'd say it seemed like forever. It was all worth it, because Christmas morning their excitement was the best thing about my year. I didn't grow up with Christmas (Jehovah's Witness) and so never felt that anticipation (although my parents were wonderful people and I certainly never felt unfortunate) or the joy of giving until the kids came along. I can still remember Christmas mornings with my wife and children, they are the best memories.
The Oiler fanbase reminds me of my kids when they were young ones. Can't wait for Christmas, impatient for the next day. We can see structure now, just not all of the time. We can see effective play, but we can also see a frightening save percentage. The club lacks balance–sweet, beautiful, balance–and until the day arrives when we can see they have enough in every area then these frustrating games will continue.
The current maladies are goaltending, the power play and the penalty kill. Fix those things and the goals for may dry up. When that's fixed the tip drill skaters (question: how many goals against have come from Oiler players changing the direction of the puck? TEN? I bet it's ten) will chime in again.
It's frustrating, but it is not hopeless. There's a difference.
Oilers are in Los Angeles tonight, they have a tough opponent and really their only hope is that one of the kids catches fire and pops a hat-trick. I think the Nuge is the most likely candidate, Yakupov the least, but hockey doesn't tell you when players break out, only that they will. Dubnyk could also do this 3-8-1 club an enormous favor by not allowing the sun to shine, but I'm hesitant to suggest it lest it goes the other way (plenty of daylight between the legs and over the shoulders).
The Oilers have recalled Anton Lander, meaning the club will have 5 centermen in the lineup tonight (I thought this would be the opening night lineup). A quick look at the lines (this is my construction, actual lines may be different) shows 3 men who were supposed to be in Oklahoma City (they are underlined):
- Nuge-Yakupov-Eberle
- Arcobello-Perron-Hemsky
- Gordon-Lander-Jones
- Acton-Gazdic-Eager
Eakins has enough penalty killers, finally. I don't know how much offense he'll get from the bottom 6F's at evens, but a few guys like Gagner and Smyth must be close to returning.
The Oilers have also recalled Richard Bachman, something we talked about here. I think most of us are cheering like hell for the goaltending, and I don't doubt that Devan Dubnyk will regain his form–but at this point the recall for Bachman tells me management is trying everything to cajole more from their current group. In a weird way, the Bachman recall is an endorsement of the current Oilers, a wakeup call that doesn't involve sending part of the cluster away.
That comes next.

Less Romantic but Equally Relevant Relationships
Not all relationships are traditional. They don't all involve two people and lead down the path to marriage. Some of my most important and meaningful relationships have been with things, with improper nouns, and I've gained more from these objects than from most courtships with men. Patience, trust and devotion, all learned and practiced with inanimate objects.
Some relationships were traditional, some one-sided, some abusive but all were insightful. I've invested similar amounts of time and emotion (and money) in these tangible yet lifeless things as I have with past boyfriends. At this point, I've been through more with my DVR than most men I've slept with. Because who do you trust more to record the finale of
Jersey Shore Mad Men: a man who can barely make toast, or a machine?
I did my digging, background research and thorough stalking before I committed to the bangs. Once I took the plunge and made the cut, I invested time and money into the upkeep of our relationship. I tried different things to keep the magic alive, careful not to get stuck in a rut. I learned what they liked and what they didn't like. All I ever wanted was to make them happy, and maybe to look fabulous. We went through the good, the bad and the ugly, and had a great run of 14 months. Ending this has been more difficult than many real-life breakups, because they were a big part of my life and my daily routine. I still think about my bangs a lot, and they're going to take some time and hair pins to get over. I made the commitment and stuck with it, but honestly, bangs are one hell of a bitch to get over.
Lesson learned: breaking up is hard to do, but we'll always have the good memories (and great photos).
Makeup & Makeup Tools/Brushes
Would you rather date someone you met at the local Stop & Shop, or at Neiman Marcus? Invest in the good ones and you'll always be glowing.
Lesson learned: if you choose wisely, your relationship will outlast the others.
I tell him what to do and he does it. And I get plenty out of it: he keeps my embarrassing secrets and he's always there for me, 24/7. He reminds me to keep up with
the Kardashians Wilfred and he doesn't judge me for it. I love you, DVR.
Lesson learned: it's okay to spend a little to woo your mate into getting what you want.
She was so lovely back in 2004– sleek, compact and pink, hungry for my favorite songs. What happened? Steve Jobs kept happening. With newer and newer technology, what was once amazing was suddenly clunky and inconvenient. Plus, she really hit the two-year mark hard and just stopped working one day. We had a great run, but it's possible to outgrow even your favorite things.
Lesson learned: not all relationships are meant to last forever.
Kate Spade
We're so close, I call her by her full name, Katherine. She helps me look and feel fabulous, and I let her. I'm not sure what Katherine gets out of this relationship, but I think my happiness keeps her satisfied. That's my kind of woman.
Lesson learned: if you believe, "Pretty Woman" is possible.
Shower Curtain
Mildew doesn't care how much your shower curtain cost, so I continue to cheap out and buy the one that rings up at $2.50. Maybe it's because I can't justify paying over $3 for a pile of clear plastic and magnets, or maybe it's because I'd rather invest in Tilex. When you care enough to provide the best accessories, they get the job done.
Lesson learned: don't be afraid to bring in reinforcements to keep things fresh.

Century Marks
Getting to know you: When Margaret Feinberg took a class from poet Maya Angelou at Wake Forest University, she found that the first session was taken up with students introducing themselves and spelling their names. At the outset of the second and third sessions, Angelou went around the room again to review the students' names. After the third time, Angelou asked, "Why did I just spend nearly 20 percent of our very valuable class time together making sure you knew each other's names?" After a deafening silence, she answered her own question: "Because your name is a sign of your dignity. And when you recognize someone's name, you recognize them not just as human but as a person. One of the greatest ways you bestow human dignity on someone is by calling them by name" (The Organic God, Zondervan).

[Minecraft 1.3.2] Mine Little Pony Mod v18.104.22.168Minecraft Mods [ August 27, 2012 at 2:44 PM ] 1,065 Views
This mod adds new player models and textures that make players look like ponies, in the style of the TV show "My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic". Once the mod is installed, you and all other players will look like ponies in both singleplayer and multiplayer. Players who aren't using a special pony skin will look like one of the background ponies from the show (as the default player skins are not fully compatible with this mod).
Pony skins are backwards-compatible with the original player model, so they look fine to any player who doesn't have the mod installed (those players just won't see the pony models). You can be an earth pony, a pegasus, a unicorn or an alicorn. Pegasus ponies flap their wings when flying, and unicorns hold items in the air in front of them as if by magic.
What's new in 188.8.131.52?
Once more fully Forge-compatible! Just install this mod after you install Forge and it will work perfectly with all your favourite Forge mods. Thanks as always to BlueAgent for making this happen.
Improved skin loading. I've improved a bunch of stuff about how skins are loaded to give a more stable experience. This includes elminating most bugs where skins were assigned the wrong model, and fixing a very old bug where the model was not correctly updated if a user changed their skin and logged on again. Now you don't need to re-log to see someone's new model correctly.
- 184.108.40.206 – Fixed compatibility with Minecraft Forge. Changed skin loading to improve performance, reliability and robustness.
Installation instructions:
Normal version
Back up your original minecraft.jar before you install this mod! Otherwise you won't be able to remove this mod without re-installing Minecraft.
Download the zip file containing the new class files and background pony skins needed by the mod. Extract the classes (.class), text file (.txt) and skins (.png) from the zip file. You will need to copy the new classes and the text file into the root of the original minecraft.jar, and the new skins into the "mob" folder of the original minecraft.jar.
- 1) Open up %appdata%, if you don't know how to do this, start>run, then type in %appdata%
- 2) Browse to .minecraft/bin
- 3) Make a backup (copy) of your minecraft.jar as this mod will overwrite some of the original minecraft classes.
- 4) Open up minecraft.jar with WinRAR or 7zip.
- 5) Drag and drop the necessary class files and text file into the root (top level) folder of the jar.
- 6) Drag and drop the necessary png files into the "mob" folder of the jar.
- 7) Delete the META-INF folder in the jar.
- 1) Make a backup (copy) of your original minecraft.jar file (which you can find in ~/Library/Application\ Support/minecraft/bin/minecraft.jar) as this mod will overwrite some of the original minecraft classes.
- 2) Go to Applications>Utilities and open terminal.
- 3) Type in the following, line by line:
cd ~ mkdir mctmp cd mctmp jar xf ~/Library/Application\ Support/minecraft/bin/minecraft.jar
- 4) Outside of terminal, copy all the class files and the text file into the mctmp directory.
- 5) Still outside of terminal, copy all the png files into the mctmp/mob directory.
- 6) Back inside terminal, type in the following:
rm META-INF/MOJANG_C.* jar uf ~/Library/Application\ Support/minecraft/bin/minecraft.jar ./ cd .. rm -rf mctmp
ModLoader version:
- 1) Install ModLoader for Minecraft 1.3.1
- 2) Download the zip file of the version of this mod for Modloader, and put it in your mods folder (found in %appdata%.minecraft/mods on Windows, or ~/Library/Application\ Support/minecraft/mods if you are on a Mac) .
Now the mod is installed, you will need to change your skin to a special "Mine Little Pony compatible" skin otherwise you will look like one of the background ponies yourself. There are some example skins in the "Download" section of this post, and a tutorial about how to create your own skins in the "Skinning" section.
Once you have the mod installed, run Minecraft and switch to the third-person view (F5) to see yourself as a pony!
Normal download
ModLoader download
Mine Little Pony Skins:
Mine Little Pony skins (mediafire download)
The skins zip file contains skins for all of the mane 6 ponies and other ponies that star in the show in addition to copies of the background pony skins used in the mod. To use a particular pony skin on yourself you will have to change your player skin using your profile on minecraft.net in the usual way.
Please tag compatible skins on skin sites by putting "MineLP" in their name to make them easier to find if you upload them to skin sites.

Buses will replace Red Line trains for service between Kendall/MIT Station and Park Street Station, with a stop at Charles/MGH Station, according to MassDOT.
Bus service will be in place for Boston and Cambridge-bound Red Line customers from the start of service on Saturday to the end of service on Sunday. Red Line trains will resume service on Monday morning.
The diversion is necessary for MassDOT's design/build contractor, White-Skanska-Consigli JV, to perform work in close proximity to the Red Line tracks, which is not allowed during MBTA service hours.
The work includes completing installation of protective fencing on the upstream side of the MBTA Red Line reservation at the Boston end of the bridge.

The rumors of Google's plans to release an Internet-optimized, BlackBerry-like device have not only created quite a buzz; they've been confirmed, at least according to some reports.
"According to Nomura phone analyst Richard Windsor, the company has confirmed the project. 'Google has come out of the closet at the CeBIT trade fair admitting that it is working on a mobile phone of its own,' he said in a note. 'This is not going to be a high-end device but a mass market device aimed at bringing Google to users who don't have a PC,'" directtraffic.org reports.
Meanwhile, engadget.com also claims to have new info about the device, which it refers to as the Google Switch. The site even includes what could be a screen image of the phones contact program.
Google corporate, however, continues to neither confirm nor deny the report.
Still, that Google will deliver a phone is a possibility, and the question remains: "Why would Google want to mess with the phone business?"
Dan Nystedt at the IDG News Service posed the question the other day, and came up with this: "The commentaries have been mostly about rumors, and they lack a good motive for such a move. Google makes software, not hardware, and rumors that it was developing a PC a few years back turned out to be wrong -- it was simply making software for PCs."
Well, I have a different perspective, with all due respect to Mr. Nystedt. Google wants to make a Google-y phone for the same reason it wants to give free WiFi to Mountain View, San Francisco, and -- as observed in a fascinating article on Daily Wireless -- perhaps the entire nation.
The Daily Wireless article lists eight signs that Google is planning to build a national wireless network. Among them (and in addition to the free WiFi in Mountain View and offer to San Fran), the article notes that: Google is investing heavily in dark fiber (dark fiber has such an ominous ring to it. I bet the Death Star was laden with that stuff); it's investing in power-line based broadband technology; and it's planting datacenters left and right.
So then: If Google is sowing the seeds for a nationwide wireless network -- perhaps even a free one -- why would it do so? The company could launch such a venture under the guise of delivering knowledge to the people, and perhaps that truly is part of the Google ambition. But it certainly wouldn't just be a charitable endeavor. Google surely realizes that the more people in the U.S. (and beyond) who get online and use Google services, the more money Google makes through advertising. And what better way to generate more Net users, AKA ad-clickers, then giving away wireless service to the masses?
