After that morning I became numb to the word faggot. But hearing the word again in Manhattan, in 2012, in my late 20s with a better haircut, shocked me.

Fingers crossed, folks, that soon, on this avenue that's increasingly dominated by corporate logos and heteronormative retail options, we'll all be watching porn, downing cocktails, ordering beef sliders and making love connections in one singular, sensational location. And yet I remain skeptical.
When Splash does close this month, I won't necessarily miss it (though I did have some remarkable times there). What I will miss is the New York City that it was a part of, a place where the fringes of our culture could come together and celebrate.

Plays conjuring Manhattan in the 1930s often take on the look of a live-action Edward Hopper painting. Not a bad thing. Actually, the effect is stunning when the curtain rises on The Nance.
Over the years, Lewis and I became liver-recovery buddies. "Oh, I am sure I had far more fun," Lewis said one day during our first year of doctor's visits, after I declared that at least I'd had fun destroying my liver. "Indirectly far more fun, that is," he added in his usual enigmatic way.
On the day that lesbian and gay New Yorkers could finally legally wed their life partners, a thought occurred to me that I hadn't considered before. At the over ripe age of 35, I was now a spinster.

Madelaine's Birth Story
My water broke at about 3:30 AM on July 23 and because I have certain medical problems I was told to head for the hospital as soon as I took a shower. We arrived at the hospital at about 4:30 AM with mild contractions that were about five minutes apart. Eventually they stopped all together and I was threatened with Pitocin if I hadn't progressed by three in the afternoon. After two horrible labors with my other children, I knew that I didn't want anything but totally natural childbirth unless medically necessary, and I don't believe that just because I'm taking a little bit longer to give birth that it's justified to speed things up with drugs.
My midwife showed up (thank God!) and told the doctor that we wanted to take things at my own pace and suggested that I try nipple stimulation since that releases oxytocin and causes contractions. Boy, did it work! My contractions kicked in at about 2 PM and I was two centimeters and about 80 percent at the time. I used the relaxation that I was taught at my Bradley classes (which worked so well I couldn't believe it) and everything was going pretty smoothly.
My midwife kept leaving the room and I couldn't figure out why and later she told me it was because my husband and I were so in-tune with each other and he was helping me so much that she felt like she was in someone's bedroom while they were being intimate! I took a shower which helped tremendously. That got me back on track once I started to lose control in transition. My husband jumped in with me, shorts and all and the skin-to-skin contact of laying my face against his chest during contractions really helped.
By 8:10 PM, I was complete and ready to push. I began to push standing up and my baby almost crowned after one push and all of a sudden I was so exhausted that I couldn't go on standing, so I got into bed and Madelaine Baylee was born at 8:16 PM totally naturally. She was six pounds, 12 ounces and 19½" long. Because we had the lights dimmed in the birthing room, she had her eyes wide open from the moment she came out. About five minutes later, our other children (ages four and five) came in and we said a prayer and sang Happy Birthday to Maddy. It truly was a beautiful birth!

Behind Chinatown's Counterfeit Handbag Industry
With giant tears rolling down her face, waving her hands frantically through the air, a tall, slender African woman hurriedly followed a group of three policemen in New York City's Chinatown. She watched as they confiscated and carried away a large, black-and-white suitcase filled with counterfeit purses on September 25.
"I didn't do nothing, I didn't do nothing," she repeatedly said, following the policemen several blocks down to their van as they wheeled her suitcase through the layer of filth on Canal Street, begging them to give it to her.
Ten minutes ago, her business partner, a tall man with fake Ray-Ban sunglasses, dreadlocks and a Louis Vuitton shirt, had been caught selling a counterfeit Coach handbag to a tourist. When the police arrived, the tall African-American man ran away, leaving behind tall black garbage bags full of counterfeit purses, piled next to a suitcase with the same contents.
"There's a special unit that takes care of these guys," said one of Chinatown's patrol officers, a heavy-set, gap-toothed man, Justin Lowe, "If they see a tourist buy a bag, they'll sit there and watch the transaction before proceeding to make the arrests."
After charging the naïve tourist with a misdemeanor for purchasing a counterfeit item, the policemen confiscated the items around them – including the suitcase the young African woman claimed was hers, and although bulging with purses, she said contained no counterfeit items.
With no evidence that the woman was selling the handbags, the police left her behind as they closed the trunk of their van, now stuffed with fake purses, and disappeared into the traffic of the congested road while the woman angrily cursed them out.
"No! Don't go! You have my things," she said as the van sped off, following it for several steps down the street before giving up.
But the liveliness of Chinatown continued, with eager tourists and salespeople trading cash for glamorous-looking items.
"Handbag, handbag? Miss?" a gray-haired Asian woman asked repeatedly, every time a female tourist passed by.
"Louis Vuitton? Coach? Gucci?" was the never-ending line robotically repeated by an African vendor, holding a wrinkled printout that illustrated dozens of designer purses.
"Handbags and watches, handbags and watches, handbags and watches," another African man enunciated in a machine-like tone, whose phrase was drown out by Chinatown's screeching of cars, endless honking and the chatter of the other vendors.
The illegal business of the counterfeit handbag industry thrives in New York City's fifth precinct. The vendors, mostly immigrants, are lined along the storefronts of the local mom-and-pop shops, which sell everything from cheap sunglasses to colorful suitcases, with counterfeit brands including Prada, Rolex, Coach and Louis Vuitton hidden from the public eye, but available to those who ask. Waiting for tourists to pass by, the vendors make a living by selling counterfeit trademarked items, whether it's an illegally burned movie disc or a fake expensive watch.
Being caught selling these items is a felony, so the vendors rush their buyers through the exchange as quickly as possible.
On April 28, Councilwoman Margaret Chin introduced legislation criminalizing the intentional purchase of items with a counterfeit trademark in New York City. Chin, who is Chinese-American and was elected to represent the city's Chinatown district, has introduced a law that classifies the knowing purchase of fake handbags as a misdemeanor punishable by one year's imprisonment, a fine of one thousand dollars, or both.
Counterfeiting is a booming international business, accounting for 5 to 7 percent of global trade, according to the International Chamber of Commerce. The cost to the city in lost jobs and taxes runs into several hundred million dollars annually. A 1994 study by Mark Green, the commissioner of consumer affairs at the time, pegged the cost in unpaid taxes alone at $350 million. While the New York Police Department (NYPD) does not release the number of vendors arrested for selling counterfeit items, the crime is considered grand larceny, of which there are about 376 cases in the Chinatown district each year.
A tall, dark-skinned man wearing bootleg plastic reflector sunglasses, a white shirt and military shorts, was apprehensive about wasting time making small talk with buyers.
"You go in the back of the van, you go on that trip, you go to jail, you see the judge," he said. "If I could just find the bag you like, we could move faster and this would be better for me."
Further down the sidewalk, another man, a Bob Marley lookalike hidden behind a pair of fake Rayband sunglasses, was selling fake designer purses, having an accomplice pull them out of a trash bag for tourists to look at. A natural businessman, he did the math for tourists to calculate how much they would save by buying his bags.
"The people who go to the store pay six, seven hundred dollars," he said, claiming that his handbags are authentic. "People gonna come out here, pay hundred dollars, two hundred dollars per bag, you save four hundred."
The man continued to persuade tourists to save money by buying one of his items, which he claimed were "the real thing from Italy."
When asked how he had so many of these "authentic" designer purses, he said with the help of the Chinese, he finds them online.
"From computer. We get from the Internet, man," he said. "It's no easy like that. Sometimes the people in China have a big collection."
A gap-toothed, heavy-set patrol officer in the fifth precinct, Officer Justin Lowe, said he has more important worries than cracking down on these vendors.
"Let me guess, all y'all are doing research because you want to sell fake bags right? You know it doesn't really matter," said the officer in a Brooklyn accent "Honestly it's not really a big deal for us, because we're worried about people getting robbed, and pickpockets."
The NYPD reports that so far this year, the Chinatown district has been subject to eight cases of rape, 88 cases of robbery, 84 cases of federal assault, 73 burglaries, 376 cases of grand larceny and 22 cases of grand auto larceny. Not including the crackdowns on the illegal street vendors' activities, the fifth precinct's police officers have had to handle 651 crimes this year.
"In New York City, everything lasts long until it becomes a nuisance," Officer Lowe said. "Once it becomes a nuisance and everyone starts complaining and it gets to the mayor's office, now it's like 'oh, we want to crack down on the fake bags.' And next thing you know, now we're out there after everyone who has fake bags, and locking up whoever doesn't have their licenses and now we're bringing them in and it slows down the business. And now you've only got one or two guys out there sneaking around selling them. So that's the way the NYPD works."
Lowe compared the fake bags industry to the habit of cooking on the streets, which is now outlawed, partially due to what he deems the result of gentrification. Lowe said that in the 1990's, Chinatown inhabitants would start fires on the street and cook meals publicly with their friends.
"The Chinese used to sit out in little tents and cook on fires in the streets – no one cared until a few people started writing letters and calling the mayors' office, and then action was taken to make it illegal," he said. "You don't see too much of that anymore, because you got a lot of people coming here from like Idaho and places, and they're not used to that."
The same thing is happening to the fake bag industry, he said. No one cared that it was happening until the mayor's office received complaints from the companies whose items were counterfeited, as well as residents in the district.
"Back in the days Canal Street was flooded with vendors. You couldn't even walk. It was crazy," he said.
Although illegal, the purchase of fake designer handbags on Canal Street is still a popular activity, especially among naïve foreign tourists, who intentionally visit Chinatown to find the perfect counterfeit purse for a knockoff price, said Officer Lowe, rolling his eyes as he described the materialistic interests of tourists on the search for a perfectly stitched Louis Vuitton lookalike.
Some of the African vendors are from French-speaking countries, and Noémie Bouzie, a stylish 22-year old business student from Paris, frequented Canal Street shops during her six-month internship in New York.
"She knew exactly where to go and which guy she was looking for," said her German classmate, Robin Lundberg, 22, after accompanying her on one of her many shopping sprees. "When we got there she started speaking French with the guy, who first showed my friend the assortment of bags he had on a piece of paper."
Lundberg, a young marketing intern, described the experience in a thick German accent as she pushed back her long, blonde hair, speaking in an annoyed tone about her friend's "cheap" interests.
Throughout the transaction, Lundberg and Bouzie were surrounded by accomplices to the charismatic salesperson, keeping watch for the constantly patrolling police – a setting that made Lundberg nervous.
"There were many helpers standing around him," Lundberg said. "Two looking out for the police and one woman, who would go around the store to get the bag. When she brought it in a plastic bag my friend wasn't allowed to take it out and look at it, only quickly and inside the plastic bag."
When her friend found the Louis Vuitton bag she had been searching for, an almost identical copy of the trademarked product at one tenth of the price, she purchased it for 100 dollars, a price she found reasonable for a fake item.
While speaking French may have helped the young Parisian bargain, a 21-year old American University student had a different experience.
Following a Chinese lady who motioned for Kelly Holiday, a brown-haired tourist from Washington D.C., to come to the back of the store, Holiday and a friend found themselves in front of a hidden opening in the wall of the building. The Chinese lady punched a number into an area of the wall, which, like an oversized safe, opened up to reveal a glittering array of counterfeit handbags.
"It was some secret door that opened, and was obviously a crawl space," she said. "It was lined with all these floor to ceiling shelves, packed with purses."
Being rushed to make a decision, Holiday chose a small, $30 Louis Vuitton purse, while her friend opted for a larger and more expensive tote with the Coach trademark.
Officer Lowe said many women actually believe that the handbags they are buying are real, and upon discovery of a tear or a stain, they mail the fake bags to the designer and demand a replacement, he said. By doing this they are turning themselves in, and can be charged with a misdemeanor for purchasing a counterfeit trademarked item.
But Officer Lowe has not arrested anyone in this business. It is solely the responsibility of a small unit that deals with the counterfeit trademark industry, he said.
"Things like that with the clothes and the fake things, people like us, the patrol cops, don't even get involved," he said.
In Chinatown, the young brunette caught buying a handbag stood somberly as the officer took down her information. A friend stood beside her, fear spilling over her face. The officer asked several questions and the teary tourist nodded every few seconds, signaling that she understood. But it was clear that she didn't understand. And neither did the vendors, or the African woman chasing after the officers or even officer Justin Lowe.
"It doesn't make sense," Lowe says. "It should be no big deal, but because someone was annoyed, it now suddenly is."

Second Neverwinter Nights 2 Expansion RevealedA new expansion for Obsidian Entertainment's Neverwinter Nights 2 (PC) entitled Storm of Zehir has emerged on Spanish NWN site Neverwinteros.
According to an IGN translation, the new expansion is aimed to bring Neverwinter Nights 2 back to the days of the classic PC RPGs Baldur's Gate and Icewind Dale with full party customization, dungeon crawling, and non-linear exploration of the world.
The report estimates the campaign to clock in around 15 hours in length, adding that Storm of Zehir will offer new classes, spells, creatures, and playable races. The game also features an improved economic structure which reacts to the player's exploits, allowing them to ally with trade syndicates or pirate goods on the black market.
Obsidian has since confirmed the expansion's development, but did not specify a release date for the title. Shacknews has contacted Obsidian for more information and will update when it becomes available.

A Cost-Effective Solution for Ensuring High Acoustic Performance in New Multi-Family Buildings
A Breath of Fresh Air: Why and How to Improve Indoor Air Quality
What do Facility Managers Need to Know?
It's a bit like throwing a firecracker
The increasing availability of new security technologies is driving many facility managers to implement high-tech, keyless electronic entry solutions as a means for managing access to large scale buildings and organizations.
In many cases, significant attention and budget is dedicated to securing the exterior building perimeter and grounds; however, that same level of access control is not often extended to the enclosures that store high value items, confidential information, and employee belongings within the facility. Facility managers can ensure security of the building as well as its contents by retrofitting interior enclosures and cabinets with electronic access solutions. A complete electronic access solution includes an access control or input device, an electromechanical lock or latch and the capability to monitor remotely. When used with existing building access credentials, facility managers can connect building security systems with enclosure access to ensure facility wide access control that addresses the security needs of a variety of different enclosure applications.
1) Inventory Management
In order to better manage supplies and materials used for general maintenance and upkeep, many facilities have installed self-service lockers to store valuable tools and inventory. Electronic access solutions can be used to track access to these lockers, providing clear accountability by generating a digital audit trail that can be used for ordering and reporting, helping to reduce theft and loss. Each end user is assigned their own unique credential, which provides the input signal to a concealed electronic lock within a locker that opens the corresponding drawer or door.
2) Datacom Enclosures
Within a data center setting, electronic access can be used to physically protect the cabinets that house confidential data. For example, within a colocation environment where cabinets housing information from multiple organizations are stored, electronic access enables the IT manager to control access to each enclosure individually. An electronic lock with an integrated access control device, like a card reader or Bluetooth enabled controller can be easily installed within an existing cabinet and integrated with the data center's overall security infrastructure. The IT manager can then control access on an individual basis, ensuring that only authorized personnel have access to secure server hardware.
3) Lockers and Office Equipment
Electronic access can also be used to secure employee belongings and protect other high-value items such as laptops that contain confidential data, or highly classified materials that cannot leave the building. Electronic locks can be easily installed into existing lockers and office equipment, allowing items to be stored securely overnight or between shifts. When networked with a building's existing security system, the facility manager can access these enclosures from anywhere within the building or from a remote location, and add or delete user credentials according to personnel changes.
4) Medical Dispensing Carts and Patient Records
In the medical environment, preventing security breaches and maintaining compliance with industry regulations are key concerns for the healthcare facility manager. Unauthorized access and control issues can be prevented by installing concealed electronic locks within the enclosures that protect patient records and expensive pharmaceuticals and supplies. For instance, smaller electronic locks, such as electromechanical slide bolts take up minimal space in the drawers that store medications on portable dispensing carts, or within wall mounted charting stations that house computers containing patient information. These intelligent electronic locks deliver access reporting and audit trail capabilities that can be used to demonstrate compliance with HIPAA.
Moving into the future, there will come a time when most common physical objects will be connected to the Internet, and will be able to communicate intelligently with other devices. This concept, known as the Internet of Things (IoT), is already being used to simplify the interaction between individuals, technology and their environments. As this technology evolves, facility managers will have many creative solutions for integrating physical security throughout a facility.
Electronic access solutions offer a simplified means of connecting existing building security with interior enclosures, improving security administration across the entire facility. Intelligent electronic locks can be easily installed on secure equipment within a facility. When combined with existing access control systems, these solutions provide digital records of access and remote monitoring capabilties, allowing facility managers greater tracebility and accountability.
Steve Spatig is general manager of electronic access control solutions for Southco, he can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Long-term reliability is something facility managers look for in all materials, and for good reason. Quality, durable products can make a huge difference in terms of cost and comfort, and plumbing applications offer one of the easiest opportunities to capitalize on when performing re-piping work.
As many copper systems reach the end of their useful life, the need for an alternative material is top-of-mind for many. Offering value and long life to plumbers and facility managers, chlorinated polyvinyl chloride (CPVC) plumbing systems have become prevalant and are worth investigation by all facility mangers.
CPVC's physical properties provide unique, tangible benefits in plumbing applications. Like all plastics, CPVC resists corrosion in ways metals cannot, but as a member of the polyvinyl family of thermoplastic piping materials, CPVC is inherently resistant to oxidative degradation from chlorine because of the material's chemical structure. With large chlorine molecules protecting the carbon-carbon bonds on the polymer backbone, CPVC is unaffected by residual chlorine disinfection byproducts in the water, such as hypochlorous acid. Comparatively, other common piping materials from the polyolefin family (such as PE-X, PP-R, and PB) have been modified to protect the polymer backbone, but once the antioxidants have been consumed, the polymer is highly susceptible to erosion or systemic crack propagation throughout. Combined with the material's corrosion resistance, CPVC offers facility managers reduced maintenance needs and confidence that the system will stand up to all water conditions.
Other benefits are just as easily realized by choosing CPVC. By maintaining quiet operation, CPVC reduces the unpleasant clanging and banging that is common of copper systems. Additionally, CPVC's chemical makeup also provides the pipes with greater thermal insulating properties than many comparative metallic systems, meaning less heat loss within hot water applications which can help save on energy bills.
Biofilm, formed with biomass such as bacteria, fungi, algae, and mold adhere to surfaces in wet environments, is a major safety concern in all potable water distribution systems. While no material can completely prevent the formation of biofilms, any piping material you choose should have a consistent record of biofilm resistance as benchmarked against other materials, and should be able to be treated with a regimen of hot chlorinated water to remove bacteria from the system without being damaged. CPVC has exactly these two properties, meaning that facility managers who use the material can be confident that they are using the best approach possible to mitigate the risks of serious water-borne pathogens such as Legionella.
For facility managers, CPVC provides value through its long-term reliability and durability in all water conditions. Considering its simple and efficient joining methods, light weight, and flexibility in smaller sizes, rerouting a system becomes simple when needed to adapt to tight spaces. When making decisions for repairs and re-pipe jobs, CPVC can offer a cost-effective and higher-performing plumbing solution for commercial needs. As a total plumbing solution, CPVC is here to stay.

Yesterday evening David Suchet wrote in his twitter that they had finished filming "The Curtain". I know the epoch of Agatha Cristie doesn't end with this, as it didn't end when the last book was written, or when the last breath of Dame Agatha was released. But this still feels like a stab in the chest: that's the last one. The glorious one. The unreal, impossible, wonderful one.
The Curtain.
I guess one day I'll develop this sketch into a fully detailed HQ painting. But so far I'm too impatient to keep silent.

February 27, 2006
Albany - Dougherty County deputies say that Tommy Edward Jones tried to elude officers on his motorcycle Monday morning, and nearly crashed into a parked train at the Washington Street crossing.
When Jones left Ellen's Beverage Barn on Jefferson Street Monday morning on his motorcycle, store patrons called authorities to say that he was intoxicated.
A deputy tried to stop Jones from leaving, but said that Jones roared away on the two wheeler anyway. Deputies chased him down Jefferson Street to Eight Avenue, then to Jackson Street, and finally ended up at Third Avenue and Washington Street.
Officers said speeds reached 60 miles an hour through Albany streets, and when Jones approached the railroad crossing, he went down on the motorcycle, and slid about 25 yards. He suffered ankle and rib injuries, and is being treated at Phoebe Putney Memorial Hospital.
He is also being tested for DUI. When WALB came onto the scene, there was a can old Colt 45 malt liquor in a cup holder on the handle bars of the motorcycle.

Moving verified monitoring to public-private partnerships
Value comes from central station interaction
Monitoring of alarms has been around—well, since the beginning of the industry. But has it lost it pizzazz with mass-marketed alarms and self-monitoring via smartphones, iPads and other connectivity devices? Have we diluted our value proposition? Not if the industry continues to tell its story, educate the user and focus on partnerships between the police, sheriffs, insurance providers and alarm companies who understand the importance of being able to verify alarms in progress.
I'm not here to put down self-surveillance—i.e., looking in on the dog or protected premises while away, or fiddling with the temperature and such—but that's not the real value the industry brings to the table and it's not what you should be concentrating on in your sales efforts. The Cox Communications and AT&T's of the world are focusing on self-surveillance and automation, but the industry can be head and shoulders above the rest if it takes the time to talk to its customers and prospects about the real value of professional central stations that receive alarms and react to them in an appropriate manner.
I had a chance to speak with video verification crusader Keith Jentoft, who said he was "continually surprised at how many people in the alarm business have never heard the real interaction between a central station and the 911 center." He provided a link to a YouTube video that gives four actual examples of real events. The two video verified examples made an arrest. "The last example is what we are trying to prevent," he said.
"This is what our business really looks like from the police side of things," he said of the video. "We,as an industry, should be selling the customer video verification and professional alarm response versus self-surveillance. While convenient and entertaining, self-surveillance doesn't deliver faster police response because it isolates the video from the central station. It is an impressive addition to building automation, not a monitored burglar alarm."
So it's our time to get the message out about the importance of central station dispatchers and the work they do and also, of alarms that can be verified. In the final clip of the YouTube video the authority says to the central station operator: "This doesn't meet our criteria for response," meaning that the municipality won't respond to the alarm without the video (or perhaps audio) verification! The central station operator sounds a bit stunned on the phone. But this is the scenario that is happening increasingly around the country. If you are using a third-party central station, are you aware of these types of incidents? Maybe you will do a little investigating on your own now.
Jentoft, who is the executive director of the Partnership for Priority Video Alarm Response (PPVAR) and the president of RSI Video Technologies in Vadnais, Minn., said that the non-profit organization recently added Verisk Crime Analytics Vice President Anthony Canale to its board of directors. Jentoft said this is significant in that Verisk is the parent company of ISO (Insurance Services Organization). ISO is responsible for analyzing community risk mitigation for underwriters and this affects the insurance rates of every community in the U.S. This service is a determining factor in how much a community pays for property insurance based upon the risk assigned to the community by ISO.
"Our involvement with the PPVAR fits with the mission of Verisk Crime Analytics to use data and analytical tools to support public safety operations and to help our clients reduce the impact of crime," said Anthony Canale. He added that Verisk owns and operates national crime databases that provide services to the construction, retail, transportation, manufacturing and insurance industries.

A time when Prevention Snark departs from exposing hucksters to highlight something beautiful -an idea, act, or theory- about prevention work.
The Spectrum of Prevention is delicious and colorful.
Selling Anti-Violence T-Shirts = A Way to Self-Promote, Ego-Stroke, and Make Money Off Women's Efforts. (Plus, it makes a super good rapist disguise!)
These are three guys with penises
by Snarkasaurus Rex
It's time to ask: "Other men are doing this? Why aren't you?" That's the question Chuck Derry suggests women pose to the men in their lives about working to prevent gender violence.
Jewell: "When asked to participate, I immediately bought a turtleneck and grew a mustache."
Derry: "I got a Steig Larson tattoo last week."
Heisler: "I have no idea how doing outreach to women within our movement engages men, but I think I'm clearly the most attractive of the three of us."
Derry: "Shut it, Ed. It's so typical of you to microaggress like that."
Jewell: "Guys! Your socialized tendency towards violence is taking over. Here, take this knitted Jackson Katz worry doll."
Derry & Heisler: "…"
Outside, a whistle and a "nice ass" is heard.
Jewell: "Did you hear that guy outside just catcall that woman?"
Derry: "You know what this means."
Heisler: "Let's do this thing."
Ed, Chuck, and Frank all remove rings from a pouch held around their necks. They slip the rings onto their index fingers, and join fists.
Heisler: "Which play, bros?"
Derry: "Pineapple Powerdrill."
Heisler: "No!"
Jewell: "You're crazy!"
Derry: "Bros. We have no choice."
The team quaked with worry as they approached the door.
To be continued ellipses question mark…?
Because nothing says "doing the work" like a white dude in a consulting firm named after himself.

2009 elections
Yoon, Chang-Diaz harp on Boston's incumbency problem
Mar. 19, 2009
The need to raise giant campaign funds and the power of incumbency can stifle democracy City Councillor Sam Yoon said in a panel discussion last Thursday. The forum explored the possible reasons why the Commonwealth ranks among the lowest percentages in the nation for contested local elections.
Yoon said the highest hurdle for a challenger is raising the money to compete. The Dorchester Democrat said that he has to spend a tremendous amount of time on the phone raising money, to stay competitive in the coming mayoral race. Read more
Ezedi gives it a 'go' for an at-large council seat
This year's race for at-Large City Council just got a bit more interesting.
Long rumored to be considering a run, Egobudike Ezedi Jr., currently director of the Roxbury YMCA, called the Reporter on Tuesday to say he's in. Read more
If the mayoral election were held today, who gets your vote?
Yoon launches bid, calls Menino's style 'outmoded'
As about 200 supporters chowed down on Singapore rice noodles and boneless spare ribs, City Councillor At-Large Sam Yoon formally kicked off his mayoral run Tuesday night.
In his speech to supporters, Yoon made little mention of the 15-year incumbent, Boston Mayor Thomas Menino, instead charging that the power in city politics has been concentrated in the hands of the "chosen few." He pledged to "change Boston politics forever." Read more
Sam Yoon makes it official
Calls for an elected school committee, and notes that Boston's three favorite pastimes are sports, politics and revenge.
Gonzalez says he's running for at-large seat
In last week's story about City Council at-Large candidate Tomas Gonzalez, his former position with the Menino Administration was misreported. Gonzalez was Menino's Latino Liaison from 2002 to 2004, and chief of staff for the Elderly Commission from 2004 to 2007. Also, a clarification: political strategist Deborah Shah has conversations with but is not actually working for Gonzalez. Read more
Stats report takes heat from Menino rivals
Mayor Tom Menino made some of the city's performance statistics public last week with a new website, but his election-year challengers are already giving the report card a failing grade.
"It reminds me of the old Soviet Union five-year plans," said candidate Kevin McCrea, a South End businessman. "It's amazing how they always hit their target every single year until they collapsed. This isn't what an accountant would say is real financial performance data that could be evaluated in an objective manner." Read more
Gonzalez does about face, will run for at-Large seat
City Councillor Sam Yoon's bid for mayor is already creating change. Tomas Gonzalez, former chief of staff for Mayor Thomas Menino, was helping create candidate Andrew Kenneally's campaign strategy to capture an at-Large seat on the City Council until this week.
"Not any more," said a glib Gonzalez Monday. "With Sam Yoon out and all these other factors I can't miss my opportunity." Read more
Yoon's entry widens race for mayor
The cards are on the table. The challengers to Mayor Thomas Menino, namely Councillors Sam Yoon, Michael Flaherty, and activist Kevin McCrea, have played their first hands.
And almost overnight, the talk around the proverbial City Hall water cooler has turned from tones of 'They don't have a chance against an incumbent,' to a subtler 'This is going to be interesting.' Read more
Menino, Yoon staying mum on what they plan for 2009
City Councillor Michael Flaherty is quickly positioning himself as a mayoral candidate of change with a campaign launch on YouTube and now an online invitation to 18,000 city employees and all city residents to share ideas with him. But his expected opponents in the race, outside of the South End's candidate Kevin McCrea, have kept it fairly quiet.
Incumbent Thomas Menino, caught in an off moment at a Columbia Savin Hill Civic Association meeting Monday, said he is focused on balancing the city's budget and putting off his decision on a possible fifth term. Read more

Twinjet prepares to open local base
UK-based aircraft management and charter operator Twinjet Aviation is assessing several possible locations for a new base here in the Arabian Gulf region. According to CEO Keith McMann, being established permanently in this part of the world would improve prospects for securing more management contracts in a market he still expects to achieve 15- to 20-percent growth despite serious economic problems in the wider world.
On November 1, Twinjet (Stand No. 200) appointed experienced charter broker Neil Turnbull to represent it and its sibling, The Charter Company (Stand No. 1034), in the Middle East. The company, which is headquartered at London's Luton Airport, has been operating a Bombardier Challenger 604 in the region since February and expects to base more aircraft here in the future, but has no plans to get a local commercial air operator's certificate (AOC) since its main focus is on private management contracts in this market. The company's fleet–for which the average age is less than two years–also includes an Airbus Corporate Jetliner and an Embraer Legacy 600.
Twinjet has been in business for 26 years. Its British AOC allows it to operate worldwide. It is also approved to operate charter flights into the U.S. and is cleared for that country's visa waiver program.

Sweet, but will this hold me over until the official release date of 9/16?

Drak On was made to simulate dragon flight in Flash.
TURN CAPS OFF TO PLAY - QWERTY ONLY (as of current
*Update* THANKS FOR THE FRONT PAGE!!!
FREEFLY MODE - The main purpose for creating this. Fly around like a dragon under various conditions.
ARCADE MODE - Originally created as an extra. It gradually gets harder and most points are gained after 'boss' battles.
If when all of your lives are lost you get to see the ending. If you have enough points and manage to see the whole thing, you unlock a hidden minigame GOOD LUCK!
This game was finished more than a year ago but never shown due to expected alterations that I couldnt be bothered to do - so I release it now.
Special Thanks: Z3ph, Alex + Icewind Dale Music

Now what it needs is a real story line, a larger world, and human campaign/mode :D

You don't deserve a 0
Not the best graphics but they were acceptable, the game "did" work it wasnt glitchy or anything which is why i don't understand whats with all the zero's.. regardless pretty good.

I don't know why everyone is rating low and sayings its rubbish. it isn't too bad. its a bit boring after a while, but its not as bad as a 0. a 6 is probably just right; considering the graphics and animation was good, i guess it can have something around those lines. Good story line too!

What a horrible game. Bad gameplay, graphics, the only thing slightly redeeming you is an OK-ish story. But you still get zero.
