"The Americans are hypocrites - they helped to overthrow a foreign dictator and American lives arent even imperiled.
And in a country close to Russia, ethnic Russian and Russian-speaking Ukrainians lives are under real threat. And where does the West have the effrontery to tell Russia NOT to intervene to protect them?"
I have to admit that this was what I started thinking yesterday. We executed an overthrow of the Cuban communists in part to save American property and safeguard Americans living there, not to mention to protect our naval base that we still have.
This is turning into a bit more complicated situation than Putin merely invading a nation just to take it over.
Thanks. Now THESE are OLYMPIC GAMES. Please return to you programming devices, low information voters.
Who got the gold?

From article on National Review:
As reports are coming in that Russia has placed 2,000 troops in Crimea, within the borders of Ukraine, President Obama said that the United States will stand with the international community in affirming that there will be costs for any military intervention in Ukraine.
Ok, the Russians have just approved the use of force in Ukraine. Now what?
This is not joking matter...we all knew this rooster would come home to roost...its here now. Buckle up...boys and girls.
Putin owns Ukraine.....and Obama is shown to be a paper tiger. Say a prayer.
McCain spent his last years in uniform as a Pentagon liaison officer with the Senate promoting projects that would make big money for defense contractors.
McCain's desires to get this country involved in conflicts has the potential to make big money for defense contractors.
Eisenhower warned us about that "military-industrial" complex....
This week McCain was the champion of the Putin-hating LGBT lobby demanding a veto from Jan Brewer of the law to protect religious folks from LGBT harassment and intimidation.
This is the change in America's world standing that Obama has delivered... When he speaks... Putin and other world leaders laugh. If Reagan or Bush were President, Putin wouldn't even consider invading Crimea.
The true danger of having a lightweight as your President is clearer than ever and the Syrian crises wasn't the first inkling of the danger and consequences of having a weak president. Even before that there was the very painful 6 month period when Obama had to eventually make a decision about troops in Afghanistan. And don't ever mention the Keystone XL non-decision which has been dragging on for years and years.

UN envoy aborts mission to Ukraine
Oh what a tangled web BO did weave....
Prince Bandar has largely stayed out of Washington but held meetings with U.S. officials in the region. One was in September 2012. Sens. McCain and Graham, who were in Istanbul, met him in an opulent hotel suite on the banks of the Bosporus.
The United Nations??? LOL! That organ has been spineless and useless since it was created. Putin spits on them and Obama embraces them like a child embraces their blanket.
(Cannot disagree.)
More ...
The U.N. Security Council will hold an urgent meeting on the crisis in Ukraine on Saturday after Russia announced plans to send armed forces into the autonomous Crimea region of the former Soviet republic.
A diplomat from Luxembourg, president of the 15-nation council this month, said the meeting would take place at 2:00 p.m. EST (1900 GMT) and was being convened at the request of Britain.
Yes he took that move off the chess board so Obama can't look tough kicking him out.
When is the last time this has happened?
Media talking points today
This is a mostly Russian region ( ok to invade)
This region is different than any other part of country(ok to invade)
The local leaders and people are cheering in streets( ok to invade)
Happening so quickly no one could stop ( Obama not at fault)
No options for USA( not Obama fault)
UN and NATO not involved (wrong have treaty but not his fault)
All about safety of Russian troops and family( no it's about gas pipelines and money.)
Moscow Seals Off Ukrainian Bases in Crimea
Kiev Says Attack by Radicals and Russian Troops Repulsed at One Base; Tense Calm at Others
By ALAN CULLISON

SEVASTOPOL, UkraineUkraine military bases were quickly surrounded and sealed off by Russian forces in Crimea on Saturday, as the Kremlin made preparations for a larger-scale landing of troops on the peninsula.

Most people in kiev asking me: "where is u.s.? Where is uk? Surely won't let Putin get away with this?" #ukraine
*** Guess this is what Obozo meant by more flexibility, to do nothing & draw meaningless red lines.
Russia has the veto so a resolution demanding Russian withdrawal won't even be put up a for a vote.
People in Western Ukraine think the West is rich and powerful.
They have just received a rude wake up call.
If they're looking for the cavalry to come riding over the hill, forget it. They're on their own and they're in no position to fight Russia.
"This is the change in Americas world standing that Obama has delivered... When he speaks... Putin and other world leaders laugh. If Reagan or Bush were President, Putin wouldnt even consider invading Crimea."
While Obama was studying Alinsky's "Rules For Radicals", Putin was studying Machiavelli's "The Prince".
Obama has few differences from the Prophet Muhammad.
"You guys are such BSers. Criticize Obama without any concrete alternative for action. Youre like liberals with Bush"
Here is what. I think Reagan would have done on Thursday when he saw 76th Shock Troops Division moving.
Today meeting with all country's in the reaction and urging them to be voted into NATO.
All countries in region are now part of missile defense treaty.
He would have kicked out the ambassador.
Started moving forces to the region.
William Hague @WilliamJHague 2m
Russian Ambassador has been summoned to the Foreign Office over #Ukraine
The Russian Ambassador is going to get a dressing down from the country that had the sun set on its empire?
Snort! The British overestimate their importance in the scheme of things.
Reagan would have had a "Humanitarian Mission" operating out of the Sevastopol Airport, before the Russians got there, even if he had to fly them in from Germany.
And we already have a US Airbase just 60-90 minutes flying time away, in Romania.
How are Russian speakers in the Ukraine under threat? Are they being subjected to massacres? The only issue that has come up is Russian being demoted from being an official language. Russia is looking to annex the Crimea, and perhaps all of Ukraine. For the past hundred years, Russia's history has been one of land grabs. Nobody can say that our move against Gaddafi had anything to do with a land grab. Our policy in Libya and Ukraine is consistent - we have chosen to support the popular majority, and just as the Libyan people revolted against Gaddafi's decades of abuse, Ukraine's parliament has evicted Yanukovich by an overwhelming majority. I thought we should have let Gaddafi crush the insurrection for reasons of realpolitik, but there's no way that we were being hypocritical by toppling him via NATO airstrikes.
Ha ha I forgot just like Granada, helping this students.
Obama approves a tee-time.
I'm not a technical person so I wouldn't have a clue how to do it...
But someone should take that video and inlay/add red lines on the floor as Barry and Old Joe make their run.
5.14pm GMT
According to the BBC, Refat Chubarov, the head of the Crimean Tatar Majlis (assembly) says he is calling on Tatars to stay at home and not form resistance units. Literally hours remain until catastrophe, he said to the Gazprom-owned Russian radio station Ekho Moskvy. Tatars make up about 12 percent of Crimeas population and have sided with the anti-Yanukovych protesters - now government - in Kiev.
North up on fox now.
Without its nukes, Russia would be just another developing country that hasn't figured out how to provide clean water to its citizens. Britain has a bigger economic output number than Russia, despite having less than half the population. Besides, Britain isn't just Britain - it's part of the ABCA group, which cumulatively has 11x Russia's GDP, despite only having 3x the population.
"We'll meet again.....don't know where....don't know when...."
And one of those ships is out of commission due to having run aground and damaging it's propeller.
The other ship is an amphibious command ship. How much damage do you think that one ship (or both, if the other one were in service) could do in the face of the Russian Army...or Navy?
You don't suppose Vlad has tasked a sub to keep an eye on them, do you? I'd be willing to bet he has.
Step out of line...fire one, fire two, and two ships go to Davy Jones' Locker.
Don't think he wouldn't authorize it.
Check this out:
Russian S-400 AIR DEFENCE heading to UKRAINE
This issue should have been addressed back in 1992, but Yeltsin punted.
Thanks, changed the channel when the Huckster was on.
Not too mention the aortic vein-like structure of natural gas lines running thru the Ukraine...flowing nat/gas out of Russia...and rubles back in. With an unfriendly fist strangling the flow of wealth producing gas out of Russia, their finances would crash.
Why would direct military intervention be necessary? Ukraine has a long common border with 5 NATO countries, through which an unlimited amount of supplies could be trucked. If they're prepared to fight, we should be prepared to supply them.
Supply the Ukrainians with equipment.

MSNBC reports that Putin invading #Ukraine could someday be as big as Bridgegate
The concern here has nothing to do with communism or Putin. It wouldn't matter if a monarchy were re-established in Russia and the Tsar enthroned. The annexation of foreign territory is the very definition of imperialism and that is what Russia doing right now.
Nice to have a lot of citizens there so that you can invade once things get ugly, I suppose. In analogous situations, America would normally be asking its citizens to evacuate.
Blame Khrushchev for this.
Of course back then Khrushchev had no idea the Soviet Union would one day break up...But this issue should have been one of the very first things settled after the breakup of the Soviet Union, and Yeltsin was too drunk to deal with it.
The U.K. just issued a "GET THE HELL OUT NOW!" Travel Advisory for Crimea.
It would be kind of like the Mexican army stepping into the US if things got hot for La Raza, if I understand this situation correctly.
The Ukraine has no love lost for Russia. The best we could hope is that Russians would leave the Ukraine behind. Doubt if Putin is just going to call them home though.

If you buy the software on disk and have the freebie MalwareBytes software downloaded on your computer, you have to eliminate the freebie software first through Control Panel at Add/Remove programs then do a restart then go to their website ( [...] ) and do the final cleaning there. After that, you install the software on the disk. The MISSING_FILE (3,0, mbamswissarmy.sys and EXPANDING_VARIABLES (0,453) error messages resulted in a complete cleaning of the freebie software first then reloading the disk software. Hope that helps if you have problems loading the software from the disk to your computer.
Although ALL of these antivirus programs are great, when it comes to just malicious software removal Malwarebytes has them ALL beat! Although full version programs such as those listed are GREAT and you absolutely SHOULD have one of them on your pc's, Malwarebytes CONSISTANTLY found things others missed! I could post a copy of the virus event logs from all and Malwarebytes has found just as many or more in all cases!

Columbus, Ohio (May 20,
2013) – Technology is changing the way lawyers do
business. A 2012 technology use survey by the American Bar Association found
that 89 percent of attorneys are using smartphones for law-related work outside
the office. In addition, 33 percent reported using tablets—a considerable jump
from just 15 percent in 2011.
Beginning with an afternoon seminar on Wednesday, to keep pace with the
changing technology needs of its members, the Ohio State Bar Association (OSBA)
will provide all course materials for continuing legal education seminars
exclusively through an eBook library. The move will eliminate the need for hardcopy
course books that last year totaled more than 4 million sheets of paper.
"While going to an electronic library
will certainly hold down our costs and reduce our impact on the environment, this
is really about providing the innovative tools lawyers need to be competitive
in today's business climate," OSBA President Judge Patrick Fischer said.
OSBA members who have registered for at
least one continuing legal education seminar will have 24/7 access to the more
than 220 books in the OSBA CLE
eBook Library that is fully searchable by practice area and contents. Additionally,
the OSBA is providing a paperless version of the OSBA Report, a print publication of Ohio case summaries and legal
news. The OSBA Report Online is a customizable
daily or a weekly email that is also available as a mobile app for iPhone and
Android devices.
"As the practice of law becomes increasingly
mobile, we will continue to look for ways to stay ahead of the technology
curve," President Fischer added.
OSBA members interested in learning more
about these legal practice tools are encouraged to visit ohiobar.org/agooddecision or
to contact OSBA Member Services at (800) 232-7124.
Ohio State Bar Association, founded in 1880, is a voluntary association
representing approximately 25,000 members of the bench and bar of Ohio, as well
as nearly 4,000 legal assistants and law students. Through its activities and
the activities of its related organizations, the OSBA serves both its members
and the public by promoting the highest standards in the practice of law and
the administration of justice.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) - Florida's 2008 average SAT scores were only slightly better than last year in math and writing but down in reading. That's according to results released Tuesday.
That meant the state continued to rank in the bottom third nationally on all three sections of the college entrance test.
These are the first SAT results released by the College Board since Eric J. Smith resigned as a senior vice president of the board to became Florida's education commissioner.
Smith says he's pleased more Florida students took the exam this year because that indicates a greater number are pursuing a college education.
Nationally, it was the second year in a row that scores remained at the lowest level in nearly a decade.

Review/Fashion; At Saint Laurent, An Artful Remix
By CONSTANCE C. R. WHITE
Published: March 10, 1999
PARIS, March 9— In Paris the day's runway shows are broadcast each night on television like basketball games in America. The Chambre Syndicale, French fashion's organizing body, is the N.B.A., Yves Saint Laurent is Michael Jordan, and Alber Elbaz is the upstart brought in to replace him.
Each night without fail, Marie-Christiane Marek calls the day's plays with speed and finesse.
In short, the French take their fashion seriously. And there's no more serious business here right now than the first Yves Saint Laurent collection by Mr. Elbaz, who worked for Geoffrey Beene and Guy Laroche before being hired to make Saint Laurent's ready-to-wear relevant again. Ms. Marek devoted almost her full hour to his collection last night. Mr. Elbaz looked terrified.
As they say in America, ''Cut the guy some slack.''
Catherine Deneuve did. ''It was a beautiful homage to Yves Saint Laurent,'' she said after the show. ''It's a very difficult exercise to design for someone who is still there, and Yves Saint Laurent is still doing the couture.''
Pierre Berge, the chairman of the YSL Groupe, did, too. ''I'm very happy,'' he said. ''I made the right choice.'' Mr. Saint Laurent was not around to give his blessing; he is sunning in Morocco, Mr. Berge said.
Apparently, he had his own private viewing of the collection a week ago, and approved. ''I'm happy because Mr. Saint Laurent is happy,'' said Mr. Elbaz, who was in danger of being crushed by photographers descending on him backstage.
Mr. Elbaz took the wise path of producing a collection that was sort of the greatest hits of Yves Saint Laurent, as sung by Alber Elbaz. There was the masterly trench coat, now tied with a thin cord; the infamous groundbreaking sheer chiffon blouse; the fur chubbies that Tom Ford has redone so well at Gucci; the bold color mixes like an orange sweater with pink satin skirt, and, of course, ''le smoking,'' Saint Laurent's signature style of evening dress, done in black tuxedo pants suits and trouser shorts.
In the future, Mr. Elbaz must be allowed to design free of the need to pay homage to the master. The House of Saint Laurent's public face is fading fast. The designer is no longer his former self, a fact made startlingly clear a few years ago when a British documentary, ''Look,'' caught Mr. Saint Laurent backstage emptying a can of hair spray onto his coiffure, while his staff prepared for his show, oblivious, or perhaps sadly accustomed, to the decline of a master.
Far too young to start falling apart, John Galliano made a sudden wraithlike appearance on the runway, which was as startling as his unconvincing hodgepodge for Christian Dior. Mr. Galliano possesses a sensitivity and romanticism that he breathes into his designs. But there's a point, which he reached with undue haste in this show, when romanticism turns mawkish.
Like a tin-eared conductor, Mr. Galliano would send out a look in perfect pitch -- a slither of gold in a satin gown with trapunto stitched collar and bow -- only to follow it with a cacophonous clunker. Notable in their discord were the teal green knit skirts and suffocating sweaters with huge unflattering collars. Teal, as is well known, is never an easy color except for painting trim. One draped pair of overalls with wide legs in Mr. Galliano's collection was one too many. Women don't want to look like schoolgirls, just youthful.
Yohji Yamamoto distanced himself this season from the dramatic romanticism he helped usher into vogue. Paradoxically, on runways from here to America, it's all Yohji all the time. Some designers copy him well and some less well, and Junya Watanabe was one of the former, unveiling a beautiful collection unabashedly inspired by Mr. Yamamoto. Drawing a through-line from the aggression of his work in the mid-90's to the feminine flow of the collection he showed yesterday, Mr. Watanabe expertly folded the neckline of a sweater so it was more than just a T-shirt. Neoprene shifts were treated to heavy dollops of elegance with couture-like seaming or jet beading and embroidery.
The delight spread to silver-handled handbags that converted to jackets and water-washed prints in simple, innocent shifts. In so obviously evoking another designer, Mr. Watanabe, normally a proven innovator, has less to lose than some others whose collections are habitually more derivative.
For his part, Mr. Yamamoto volleyed back with relaxed masculine suits cut boldly in navy or black with full trousers or a long skirt. Mr. Yamamoto sometimes covered them with funereal coats. The look recalled his work of the late 70's and early 80's when Miles Davis, fashion plate, cut a dash in Yamamoto.
Similarly languid, Martin Margiela's collection for Hermes was a slow meander through a meadow. Only a retailer like Phil Miller, chairman of Saks Fifth Avenue, would look at the models strolling down the runway and say they brought to mind women strolling down Fifth Avenue.
In his imagination, Mr. Miller probably saw them going into Saks to buy more Hermes. But wait. Saks doesn't sell Hermes clothes. And that's O.K. Mr. Miller has plenty of Zoran. Quite clearly, this is the same customer, and there are more spawned every day, as more and more baby boomers who would rather take a pass on tight-fitting clothes turn 50. The Hermes collection included an oatmeal knit vest and alpaca drawstring pants, mushroom-colored lambskin trousers and a long cashmere pullover -- Mr. Margiela called it ''comfort cashmere.''

I assume that enrollment in a course is automatic.
Do I have to set the IPN on paypal itself to something special? I do not seem to find any information about this.
I have enrolled as a student going through the Paypal payment. Payment has been acknowledged by Paypal etc - but access is still restricted. How can I fix this.
Thanks a lot for what looks like a very interesting plugin

22nd Annual SCC Golf Classic is Aug. 3-4
The 22nd Annual St. Catharine College Celebrity Golf Classic will take place the weekend of Aug. 3-4. The event is not only a great chance to hit the golf course and have fun, but it is also a way to provide quality higher education to SCC students.
The festivities start on Friday, Aug. 3, with a Golf Auction and Reception starting at 6 p.m. in the Spalding Student and Community Center on the SCC Campus. The live auction will begin at 7:30 p.m. with a vast array of items up for bid.
"The auction is always fun. We have a vast array of items each year and I expect this year to be even better," said Angela Hoffman, Director of Alumni & Events. "We have items to offer from friends and businesses in Springfield, Lebanon, Bardstown and beyond. They are very good to us every year."
Also up on the auction block are regional celebrities to round out your golf team. Several favorites are returning again this year as well as a few new faces.
The event continues on Saturday, Aug. 4, as the golfers take to the course at Lincoln Homestead State Park. Check-in begins at 8 a.m., followed by a shotgun start at 9 a.m. Lunch will be served at the turn and an awards reception takes place at the end of the tournament.
There is still time to register a team, sponsor a hole or both. Click here to download the tournament brochure in PDF form.
Hoffman added, "The students appreciate everything the community does to help them and this tournament is a testament to the loyal and generous support of our donors."
The deadline to register a team is July 20. Space is limited to the first 32 teams to register. For more information about the SCC Celebrity Golf Classic, contact Angela Hoffman, Tournament Director, by calling (859) 336-7610 or emailing email@example.com.

Scientists Warn Geo-Engineering Can Kill Billions of People
Cassandra Anderson, Contributor
Tuesday, October 2, 2012
Activist Post
Geo-engineering is an umbrella term for deliberate climate intervention that includes spraying the sky with aerosols to reflect solar radiation away from Earth in order to cool the planet and to save the environment and humanity from the effects of
man-made global warming. There is evidence that this program has already been implemented for many years using unidentified chemical aerosols, known as chemtrails.
A geo-engineering/chemtrails experiment using a balloon to spray sulfur particles into the sky to reflect solar radiation back into space is planned for New Mexico within a year by scientist David Keith. Keith manages a multimillion dollar research fund for Bill Gates. Gates has also gathered a team of scientist lobbyists that have been asking governments for hand-outs to for their climate manipulation experiments with taxpayer money.
Geo-engineering is touted as a last-ditch effort to save people and the planet from global warming. But the truth is that geo-engineering can alter rain cycles leading to droughts and famine that could result in billions of deaths!
Therefore, Bill Gates appears to be using his concern over global warming to cloak his real intent of controlling weather and/or depopulation.

We all should be scientist to keep up with whats being spoon fed so they can continue the chemtrails for their own greedy agenda. However, I do believe there are a lot of smart people watching and investigating their nefarious activities and will bring it out in the open for the world in due course of time.
Anonymous Coward 1611462
Where is the EVIDENCE that we are being "sprayed" with ANYTHING as part of any "chemtrails".
You chemtards have FAILED to provide anything...but act as if "chemtrails" are a fact. Why? Can't you see how stupid that is?!
Chemtards have been whining about this for 15+ years...isn't THAT "due course of time"?!
You have NOTHING!!!

IDk if an intro post was needed or not??
i'm Veronica. i'm Mom to Jonathan, who is 12 and has Asperger's Syndrome. I stress eat A LOT from the anxiety/stress of raising a special needs child. I lost all my baby weight after him, and then after my DD Olivia was born 8 yrs ago, I gained a TON of weight. I dont even know how much honestly because I stopped weighing myself. I do know that eventually I lost over 100 lbs, and was still loosing when YDD Claire Elise surprised us 3 yrs ago (she will be 4 in Feb). I dropped to 199 after her birth, but then gained almost 100 lbs in the almost 4 yrs since her birth. My DH was unemployed for 6 months, and it was 2 yrs before he found a job that was paying what he was earning before, so that was a significant stresser. Then Mom died in June..
I've done weight watchers, but it just didnt motivate me into actually dieting like it did in between my kids. I would plan and eat my healthy meals, and then ruin it by eating an entire pint of ice cream at night, and then sending DH out for taco bell bc "i was starving". Dh is 42 and diabetic, type 2, and we enable one another.
I'm starting to have health problems from my weight so its time to get serious. i *think im going to do a plant and protein based diet since DH really cant have carbohydrates

Room was clean and the breakfast was typical.
outside could use a little clean up
Loud music outside. No coffee. Badly stained carpet. Broken lamp shade. Door seemed very loose like may have been kicked in before. No remote for tv. Broken desk.
The friendly staff
None of the keys worked on doors and the room we was in had a issue with the bathroom
The staff was excellent. There were major issues in our room: Coffee Pot, Alarm clock, and Phone didn't work at all and the air conditioner wasn't cooling the room as it should but when I spoke to the front desk attendant she immediately changed our room. The second one was excellent. No issues. Quiet place to stay. Convenient to Pamlico River.
I didn't care for the fact that there was no elevator and were booked on the second floor.
I was looking for an inexpensive room near the New Bern/Vanceboro area where my girlfriend and I could have a quiet Valentine's Day getaway, and the Magnuson was perfect. The room was nice and clean, nobody bothered us, and they actually still allow smoking in certain rooms (which was a plus considering the cold weather.) It's definitely not a 5-star resort, but it's not a shady flophouse either. I would not have a problem bringing children there, but we definitely felt that this was a great place for grown people who don't need chocolates on their pillows to cut loose and have a good time without being judged or frowned upon.
One of two places in Washington that allows pets, somewhat dated but clean, friendly staff and no problems to speak of
Breakfast is coffee and a small muffin so you may want to find some other place to eat if you're hungry, located at a busy intersection but I didn't hear any traffic during the night, mattress was a little hard
Clean room
Friendly staff
I had no complaints
Staff was very friendly, smiling and helpful. The location was exactly what we needed and it had very comfortable beds. Nothing fancy, just a clean comfortable room and breakfast at an affordable rate - just what we needed.
I booked under Comfort Inn and was surprised my GPS took me to a Quality Inn. The hotel had just been rebranded and was undergoing upgrades and some construction to add a third floor and elevator. That didn't bother us at all. But the coffee was terrible!
When I check in lady at front desk was every nice and give me a greeting as if I was family. Can't remember her name but she works overnight shift because we checked in late.
Rooms need to be more updated. No vent in bathroom. If you go number 2 whole room smells. Bathroom is small as well.

Sins of a Solar Empire: Entrenchment PC
- Publisher: Stardock
- Release Date: Feb 25, 2009
- Critic score
- Publication
- By date
A must-buy expansion. While I badly want to see larger-scale enhancements to the gameplay for future expansions, the amount of content in this release still balances very well against its cost, and those 'turtle'-styled RTS gamers (guilty here) hesitant to get onboard Sins of a Solar Empire due to the lack of any real defensive options will now have a great reason to pick it up.
Pelit (Finland)Sins of a Solar Empire: Entrenchment is a nice addition to an excellent game. [Apr 2009]
Sins of a Solar Empire: Entrenchment is a pretty good, and any die-hard Sins of a Solar Empire will definitely obtain. The only thing that might shun players away is the $9.95 price point for only a couple new upgrades and units. Although playing with the new star bases makes this purchase well worth it.
The new defensive options add tremendous excitement to the game and definitely fill a hole, tactically speaking. The new star bases are worth the price of admission alone.
PC GamerEntrenchment is an excellent micro-add-on that will suck you back into multi-hour games of Sins of a Solar Empire and introduce tons of new strategic options. [June 2009, p.86]
Entrenchment offers exactly what it says: a fortification extravaganza. It's a win for micromanagement, a loss in dynamics, but Iron Clad has promised two more such expansions, so it remains to be seen whether the action will become more furious, or be toned down even more.
Entrenchment doesn't add new factions or campaigns but really upgrades the game experience of Sins of a Solar Empire. It remains a difficult game with complex tutorials but in a couple of hours it can become really immersive and addictive. It is the perfect expansion for the best space strategic game on the market.
All things considered, Entrenchment is more of a "completion" of the original Sins of a Solar Empire rather than an expansion.
Quibbles aside though, Ironclad has done an admirable job of addressing some longstanding complaints, making Entrenchment an easy choice for dedicated fans of the original. Even more casual or lapsed players will probably have fun just tooling around with the starbases, which by itself is a gateway into the kind of multi-hour sessions Sins is known for.
For $10, serious fans of the original who are still playing regularly, or those who are itching to pick it up again, won't want to miss this. But, if you've grown tired with the game and need something a little more meaty if you're going to get back into it (like maybe a campaign), save your pennies; two more tiny enhancements are promised in the coming months, all three of which will then be bundled together to form one, proper expansion -- maybe even with a new faction!
Entrenchment makes Sins of a Solar Empire more playable and accessible to 4X strategy and RTS gamers alike and builds on its predecessor's success to create a memorable experience with both depth and spectacle. At this price, what more can you ask for?

Sections of 8 Struthers roads to be repaved
Short sections of eight roads within the city will be resurfaced by the end of October, thanks to an Ohio Public Works Commission grant, said Mayor Terry Stocker.
The total length of the repaving will be approximately 4,500 feet, or just under one mile, and will cost $143,000. The city's share is about $40,000, with the rest funded by the commission.
"We're only able to do limited sections of our roads," Stocker told city council last week. "But the citizens of the city of Struthers like to have good, safe road surfaces to drive on and be proud of."
Read the full story in Monday's Vindicator and on Vindy.com
Maybe some of that extra asphalt can be dropped around the stupid railroad tracks on bridge street to make the road somewhat level again. But then again I wonder if anyone from the city administration has to drive over those tracks on a daily basis so they may not even know how bad the road is.

It was on Thursday last that white house officials and congressional leaders emerged from eight days of closed-door negotiations and announced with great fanfare that they had finally reached agreement on a budget to run the government.
At both ends of Pennsylvania Avenue, this was hailed as a great achievement.
At the White House, the president and the Democrats fell over each other in self-congratulations as Republicans traded compliments at the capital.
Between backslaps, each group summed it up as a victory for the American people. Well pardon a smart aleck question, but victory over what? Congressional sloth and ineptitude and White House monkey business?
Congress has been here since January and done virtually nothing.
And the president? Well, he has been busy but why all the celebrating? Because they finally did behind closed doors what they should have been doing all year in public.
Should we be heartened that in the rush to go home and campaign for themselves they closed a deal so haphazard that neither side was really aware of the details of what they agreed to and still don't know, apparently?
In a CBS News poll last week, three quarters of the American people could not remember a single thing this congress had done.
Well, that's understandable, but it's not all bad. Most of what has been going on around here is best forgotten.

Hi all,
I am working from a childtheme of Smpl Skeleton. Everything is working except the Layout Preferences where I can choose between showing the sidebar left or right. In Firebug, the <div id="content" class="sixteen columns"> is showing 16 columns instead of the 11 (eleven) that it should be. Changing the number of columns of the layout preferences has no effect on the layout except to move the #content div a few pixels left or right when selecting "sidebar left" or "sidebar right".
I can tell that the #content classes are being assigned in the options.php but it doesn't seem to be being read or implemented correctly.
I have added additional sidebar widget areas that show up, but under the #content div, and not beside it as they should.
Any ideas what I have done wrong? I also add that I have this same theme and all modifications working on another dev server and it works fine. At the same host and everything. Ugh! Any ideas what I might look at to fix this? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Constraining the reproduction alphabet to be of small size in encoding continuous-amplitude memoryless sources has been shown to give very small degradation from the ideal performance of the rate-distortion bound. The optimum fixed-size reproduction alphabet and its individual letter probabilities are required in order to encode the source with performance approaching that of theory. These can be found through a somewhat lengthy, but convergent, algorithm. Given reasonably chosen fixed sets of reproduction letters and/or their probabilities, we define new rate-distortion functions which are coding bounds under these alphabet constraints. We calculate these functions for the Gaussian and Laplacian sources and the squared-error distortion measure and find that performance near the rate-distortion bound is achievable using a reproduction alphabet consisting of a small number of optimum quantizer levels.

I'm trying to write tests for an iOS app with a legacy C++ library dependency. The legacy library has initialization routines and static variables that must be run/set once per app cycle.
I've created a test target that is working correctly. My test target is set to use my app as a Test Host through the Bundle Loader. This launches the iOS app and then uses [SenTestCase invoke test] to run the tests. Given this setup, I am hoping to let the app initialize the library and let the tests run in a "library already initialized" state. This seems to fit the Apple Application Test paradigm. However, the legacy libraries' static variables initialized during app launch are NULL when the tests are run. There is no user code that would reset the variables.
I am expecting my Application Tests to be able to access my app's static variables. Is there something I can configure to allow this? Am I missing something?
To clarify, the troublesome static variables are in the linked c++ library. The app and unit tests do not seem to share the same application scope.

(Central Library) on The Forbidden Wish by Jessica Khoury: Even though the book is considered a Young Adult read it is truly a tale for anyone who loves a fairy tale. Khoury took the classic tale of Aladdin and turned it on its head. Everything from a female jinn to a band of female warriors is used to show us real love is not easy but has a power of its own.
Dominic F. (Central Library) on Invasion of Privacy by Christopher Reich: Another great read from a master of suspense and intrigue. Very real possibilities of misuse of modern technology are explored in this amazing thriller.Veronica A. (Central Library) on The Witching Hour by Anne Rice: Vibrantly detailed and rich historical novel about a family of witches in New Orleans. Lush details and complex characters pull you in.Alexandra P. (Central Library) on A Mother's Reckoning: Living in the Aftermath of Tragedy by Sue Klebold: Powerful and moving, this book forces you to have empathy and compassion for those we have considered the worst. It took a lot of courage for Sue to share her story and I know that this book will stay with me for a long time.Kristen S. (Central Library) on At the Edge of the Orchard by Tracy Chevalier: Such a satisfying read! A lovely book by a wonderful storyteller.Cherlane H. (Central Library) on Mama B. A Time to Speak by Michelle Stimpson: ...Mama B is spiritual and tactful, funny and most of all honest. She reaches in her old-school-charm bag of reasoning and pulls out sensible and biblical strategies that will take you on a walk with her as she journeys through present day problems: How to deal with a granddaughter who comes to visit (but really needs a place to stay) who has her little son in tow. How to let God help you sit through new church leadership while you struggle with their views on how to run a ministry. And best of all being truthful with your own motives, and not-so-godly attitude while going through your trials. These are the makings of a short but fun read...Maribeth W. (Hampden Branch) on The Summer Girls by Mary Alice Monroe: This is a story of a grandmother who is trying to renew the bonds between three half-sisters who have led very different lives. She invites them for one last summer at her beach house they came to as little girls, hoping the girls can also heal and figure out how to move forward in their lives.Michael D. (Light Street Branch) on How to Make Your Money Last by Jane Bryant Quinn: ...Everyone within five years of retirement and older needs to read this book. Well organized, well indexed, easy to read about all of the topics that are of interest for planning and surviving your retirement. ...Discussion of how to plan your budget, obtain needed cash in retirement and how to select or qualify a retirement location are in the book. Also clear discussion of annuities, when to take Social Security and impact on spouse and children. JBQ has done us all a great service.Mona P. (Light Street Branch) on The Marriage of Opposites by Alice Hoffman: This story was transforming. I felt like I was in St. Thomas smelling the flowers and hearing the ocean. I loved the characters and found them to be very real. I hope to see some of Pissarro's paintings soon. I think there are some at The Walters.Scott S. (Light Street Branch) on Free Fire by C. J. Box: The best of this genre are the ones with interesting crimes and a lot of historical / socio-cultural context. John D. MacDonald with Travis McGee had a knack for this. C. J. Box with Joe Pickett in Wyoming has picked up on this as well. In this novel, there's a lot of information about Yellowstone National Park ranging from the nature of hot springs to jurisdiction over events in the parkland itself. Yes, it's an airplane read but I liked it.Kim S. (Mobile Library Services) on The Escape by David Baldacci: Great plot with lots of twists and turns. Kept me on the edge of my seat.Lara S. (Roland Park Branch) on Peaks on the Horizon by Charlie Carroll: I believe this is probably one of the most intrinsically valuable travelogue books I have read in recent history, or even at all. ...I found the research and information that Carroll provided in the development of his part of the story to be enlightening and far more in depth than you would get in many of our textbooks or understanding of the culture...For a chance to win fabulous prizes, submit an entry to the Adult Summer Reading Program here.

Buy GE, Sara Lee as Payouts Top 10-Year Yield, JPMorgan Says
General Electric Co. and Johnson & Johnson are among 20 stocks investors should buy for their dividend yields after equities plunged and Treasuries surged in the past two weeks, JPMorgan Chase & Co. said.
The 17 percent drop in the Standard & Poor's 500 Index from July 22 through yesterday has spurred investor concern of a recession, according to Thomas J. Lee, the New York-based chief U.S. equity strategist. While the likelihood that the U.S. economy will contract is low, investors should buy stocks with dividend yields that are higher than the 10-year Treasury yield and have strong earnings growth until equity markets recover, Lee wrote in a note to clients today.
"Active managers and hedge funds are focused on recession risk," Lee wrote. "Equity markets globally continue to be under pressure and it is clear something is needed to break this downward momentum."
Stocks slumped for more than two weeks as reports on manufacturing and consumer spending showed the world's largest economy is slowing. S&P cut the U.S. government's AAA credit rating at the end of last week, dragging the S&P 500 down yesterday by the most since December 2008 and increasing concern that the reduction may worsen an economic slowdown. Treasuries surged as tumbling equity markets sparked demand for the safety of government debt.
Ten-year note yields today touched 2.0346 percent, lower than the previous record of 2.0352 in December 2008. At the close yesterday, yields on 10-year notes were 2.32 percent, only four basis points higher than the S&P 500's dividend yield of 2.28 percent. The S&P 500 rose 4.7 percent to 1,172.53 at 4 p.m. in New York.
'Greater Return'
GE, Johnson & Johnson and Sara Lee Corp. are among stocks that "via dividends alone provide a greater return than from owning the 10-year Treasury," the note said. Each has a dividend yield of at least 2.7 percent, according to Bloomberg data. Lee and colleague Daniel McElligott identified 20 stocks with dividend payouts greater than the 10-year note's yield as well as earnings-per-share growth forecast to be positive in 2011 and 2012. If rated by JPMorgan, they are rated "overweight" or "neutral."
Here is the list of stocks recommended by Lee. Ticker symbols are in parentheses. Bank of New York Mellon Corp. (BK US) Computer Sciences Corp. (CSC US) Hasbro Inc. (HAS US) General Electric Co. (GE US) Raytheon Co. (RTN US) Supervalu Inc. (SVU US) Northern Trust Corp. (NTRS US) Weyerhaeuser Co. (WY US) Sara Lee Corp. (SLE US) Health Care REIT Inc. (HCN US) Ventas Inc. (VTR US) Safeway Inc. (SWY US) Baxter International Inc. (BAX US) Lockheed Martin Corp. (LMT US) Molson Coors Brewing Co. (TAP US) Pitney Bowes Inc. (PBI US) Verizon Communications Inc. (VZ US) General Mills Inc.

SDCC: Marvel: Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends Panel
Comic Books
Every week, I will spotlight strange but ultimately endearing comic stories (basically, we're talking lots and lots of Silver Age comic books). Here is the archive of all the installments of this feature.
Today we take a look at 1969's Adventure Comics #384, where Superman's computers might be telling Supergirl something that she didn't know about herself, in a story written by Cary Bates and drawn by Win Mortimer and Jack Abel.
The concept of the issue is that Supergirl wants to do computer dating, and whose computers are more accurate than Superman's?!?
In typical Superman fashion, he knows that Supergirl is headed into a quagmire, but instead of just telling her, he decides to let her go and find out for herself…
So she ends up on the other planet and finds her dreamboat…
But something is weird. The people on the planet are jerks to Supergirl. The criminals don't take her seriously as she arrests them. Essentially, the whole planet thinks women are a joke. But why? As it turns out, it all came about due to an interplanetary bad break-up…
Volar has a secret, though and it might explain why he won't make out with her…
Supergirl overhears Volar talking with Volar's father and she figures out that Volar needs to take a special serum. Supergirl figures it is something to keep Volar healthy, but she discovers that is not the case…
I love that the possible implications of this are not addressed. I mean, obviously, it is a 1969 comic so of course it wouldn't be addressed, but still.
I do like that Bates gave the story an optimistic ending.
Well, better that than a horse, right?
I love that the possible implications of this are not addressed. I mean, obviously, it is a 1969 comic so of course it wouldn't be addressed, but still.
If you mean that shes unconsciously a lesbian, I don't think the reason those possible implications aren't addressed have nothing to do with it being 1969. I think they aren't address because those implications simply aren't there. Computers aren't omniscient. Like humans they are limited to the information fed into them. You can have flawless logic and reasoning and come out with a faulty conclusion due to a faulty premise.
The computer started with the faulty premise that it was a man and based on the personality and other factors figured "he" would be a good fit for Supergirl. And based on how good the disguise was with the living flesh mask and all that, I could see why so many people would be fooled.
It seems like a very good story though. Very positive message to it.
I didn't realize computer dating has been around for over forty years.
You see, comic books can be educational
I don't think the implication is that she's a lesbian, but rather that Volar really IS Supergirl's perfect match (based on personality, intelligence, likes and dislikes). That Volar's a woman is irrelevant, in a sense.

Exactly. It's an interesting idea that they just skip right over (again, though, quite naturally because of the year it came out).
interesting that not only did supergirl get to use computer dating way back in the sixties but found that her so called perfect match was actully a girl trying to change her planets view of woman as inferior beings. and this in the sixties
I'll be nice and chalk it up to naivete that Supergirl didn't think to enter "Must come from a society where women are treated as equals" into the computer.
If you had given me this story in a blind sampling I would have said for sure it was written by Bob Kanhiger. It has that crazy, kooky, creepy vibe of his Wonder Woman stories all over it. I'm shocked it's Cary Bates.
Bates was so young at the time that he likely had not yet found his own "voice," so it is unsurprising to see that you thought it was Kanigher.
I don't think the implication is that she's a lesbian, but rather that Volar really IS Supergirl's perfect match (based on personality, intelligence, likes and dislikes). That Volar's a woman is irrelevant, in a sense.
I disagree about gender being irrelevant. I think the whole reason they ARE so compatible is that she's a woman. After all in general isn't it usually far easier for us to find same-sex friends who are our perfect match based on personality, intelligence, likes and dislikes than it is to find such similarities in opposite sex people?
For example I can find a ton of guys who are into comics, manga, action movies, sports and philosophy. I've never found a girlfriend who was into those things. If I found a woman who was into comics, manga, action movies, sports and philosophy I'd think I found a perfect match as well. If I got there and discovered this woman was actually a man I wouldn't consider it any profound implication. It would just think "oh, no wonder we were so alike. It's yet another guy I have a lot in common with."
I think their similarities and compatibility in values, intelligence and personality simply came from the fact both were super-powered teen girls and nothing more profound than that.
Unless I'm still misunderstanding the type of implications you mean…?
So great, for so many reasons. There are lots of ways to process a bad split, but traveling the cosmos preaching the evils of women never really occurred to me. Evidently it did occurr to Dr. Druid's cousin.
I don't think this story is particularly strange. The only thing that I found strange was that a guy would be so pissed at his ex-lover that he would go around brainwashing planets to suppress their women. I think it would have been simpler if the planet was just misogynist, we didn't need an origin story for their misogyny. One thing I like about this story is that Supergirl didn't fix the planet's social problems, instead she inspires one person to push for change.
As for Superman being able to prevent all this, I don't think his actions were unusual. Sometimes young people don't listen to good advice when they've got an idea stuck in their head (I say this as someone barely older than Supergirl is in this issue, although I'm sure that a lot of older people are like this too). Superman probably figured that it would be better to let Supergirl make her own decisions, have her own experiences, and learn from her mistakes. Since she was never in any real danger I don't see anything wrong with what Superman did.
Anyway, I really liked this story.
So basically Cary Bates presaged Casanova: Gula by forty years…
^ Except now, after actually reading the post, I realize that is a terrible comparison…
What an intriguing little tale. I have a vague memory of it … it reminds me a little of the much later Legion story in which Element Lad found out Shvaun Erin used to be Shaun. I guess the extra V stood for Volar.
I'd love to have seen a sequel to this, find out how the planet was coping with about and proud-ish heroine. .
no hit, but a real Miss … LOL.
poor Supergirl. she made quite a progress from dating her horse, though.
Except not only did Comet the Superhorse come back to pursue Supergirl romantically in the 90's, this time it was as a GIRL (an an angel?) Seriously! It was Peter David's idea, I think.
This story is terrible, not just for the way Superman doesn't warn Supergirl, but because of her attitude to begin with; NO ONE on Earth is a good match for her, not even other superheroes? Sheesh!
I'll bet neither Volar nor Linda's attitude were ever referenced afterwards. (I certainly never heard of him- er, her.)
The whole situation reminds me of that great film, "Prelude to a Kiss" starring Alec Baldwin and Meg Ryan. Check it out

I would love to read the further adventures of Space Dave Sim as he travels from planet to planet putting women in their rightful place.
"The Magna Marvel"? What does that even mean?
Can lesbians even be implied to exist on here without someone crawling out of the woodwork to explain why authorial intent means that there's no way they do?
Comics aren't pristine of content that allows complex reading. Attempting to reason through a 1969 Superman comic(!) to remove that content is, well, bizarre.
"I want to introduce you to my parents, girl-who-I-just-met-one-minute-ago."
well, i think it's possible that the creators might not have processed the consequences of their plot.
imagine the creators hanging around a table one day. suddenly somebody looks up and says: "I've got an idea. what if Supergirl falls for someone but that someone is a WOMAN in disguise!"
the rest of the table is titillated since they are probably all white guys so the the editor says, "See what you can do with it." the meeting ends.
however, i think it's equally plausible that someone wanted to smuggle in a message of gender equality. there is room for both interpretations here.
Superman knew that and didn't tell her? What a jerk. What a wonderfully twisted story, though. I also light the bit of hope for a better society at the end.
Does anybody notice that Supergirl has the same hairstyle as when she is Linda Danvers, except with a spitcurl like Superman?
It just seemed interesting to me.
"Something in his mannerisms….He's never tried to kiss me…or even hold my hand." It's even more indicative of the era that Supergirl never thinks that Volar might be gay! Or not into HER!
Superman was a creep, but, then, Supergirl WAS using the super-computer for frivolous purposes. Tough love, Kryptonian style!
"I would love to read the further adventures of Space Dave Sim as he travels from planet to planet putting women in their rightful place."
I find the implication that Superman was well aware that there was a planet where women were subjugated like that and didn't give a hot damn about it more disturbing than anything else in the story. "Gee, my cousin's going to get the surprise of her life when she finds out everyone there hates her. That'll teach her!"
I think Superman knew full well that Volar was a girl and was hoping to spy on some hot girl-girl action with his sex ray vision! LoL
Seriously, it would have been awesome if Supergirl finding out Volar was a girl didn't change how she felt for her.
SUPERGIRL: I fell in love with a PERSON, not a gender!
VOLAR: Oh, Kara!
(They kiss)
(cue porn music)
SUPERMAN (watching from Earth with his telescopic vision): WHOO-HOO!!!!
P.S. They did computer dating in 1969?? The computers must've been as huge as the first floor of a mall! And I loved the art on this.
For those who didn't realize that computer dating existed back in 1969, it really did. It even made its way into episodes of "Bewitched" and "I Dream of Jeannie" (as major plot points) and was the subject of several skits on "The Carol Burnett Show" (and those are the ones I distinctly remember). I seem to recall at least one episode of "Here's Lucy" that revolved around computer dating (though I want to say that was in 1970 or 1971). I have vague memories of "Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In" having a few computer-dating skits.
@Blackphoenix: Not really. They were large, but most of the computers on SF-related shows of the era were also unbelievably large, mainly because that was the standard. (When you consider that the Apple II started off with a mere 4kB of RAM–and set you back about $1300–and the Commodore 64 had 64kB of RAM, of which about half was dedicated to running the computer, it's understandable why earlier business computers were so large; the earliest personal computers hit the market in the late 1970s–less than a decade after computer dating became part of pop culture.)
I do like the ending. Not wildly optimistic (everyone realizes their habits of centuries are wrong) but not the sexist cop out I was expecting either.
Throughout the Silver Age, the Bronze Age, even the Iron or Modern Age, Superman's greatest fear was that his telling people what to do would either make him a tyrant or make people too dependent upon him.
It wasn't until the DC New52 and Man of Steel travesty that he started to like passive-aggressively lording over others.
As usual for the time, in this comic book, Superman goes too far in his policy of not telling others what to do.
"Something in his mannerisms….He's never tried to kiss me…or even hold my hand."
The implications here worry me. Could a woman not know a man for two days (or however long it was) in the 60s without him making a move on her?
That's why we have feminism, people!
But I do agree that Superman was just letting a young woman make her own mistakes – which is more likely to let her learn that simply telling her 'no'.
What chance does Volar have of being Supergirl's perfect match ? They might very well be compatible based on personality, intelligence, likes and dislikes, but is a woman really what Supergirl's looking for ? If I got to know somebody through the mail, Facebook, etc ., decided we were compatible based on personality, intelligence, likes and dislikes, and then found out that this person was a man, I'd tell him "I'm sorry ! You're not what I'm looking for !" . Obviously, I don't "get" the concept "I fell in love with a person, not a gender !" . I can find somebody I have a lot in common with, but if that person isn't a woman, we can't be together romantically . Basically, if I have a man, there's nothing I can do with him, but a woman I can hug and kiss . I have enough respect for other people to know a homosexual won't find a woman and get married to her, and I don't know why that can't work the other way .
I forgot to add — everybody deserves to have a romantic partner who thinks "This person is everything I've been looking for !" . If you don't make your romantic partner's heart beat faster, why are you with that person ? Part of being single is thinking "This person might be happier married to somebody else !" . That's only thinking of his ( her ) best interests . I'm sorry if there's a joke I don't get, but this is my response .
I love thegigantic 'V' emblazoned on the newly-empowered female superhero "I am woman, hear me roar!", "My eggs, my eggs…between my legs!" …sorry, Al Bundy fan here
But this is also exactly why Supergirl's death in Crisis On Infinite Earth #7 gave her proper tribute as a genuine, bona-fide, inspiring *hero* not only sacrificing herself to save her cousin, but giving hope to others around her such as the female Dr. Light ("No more, Supergirl! Whatever happens here, you've shown me the *truth*!") or to the divine miss Volar here
Rest in peace, Linda Lee, Kara Zor-El, Supergirl
