Long live the new King
In addition to all the boutique qualities and hot-rodded tones that guitarists have come to expect from the ValveKing series, the new generation line incorporates brand new cutting-edge features for recording and performing musicians. For the recording musician, the ValveKing features a USB-direct recording output, which pipes the miked amp vibe directly into a computer. On the rear panel, the built-in Peavey MSDI (Microphone Simulated Direct Interface) XLR direct interface eliminates the need for miking by allowing users to send the amp's signal directly to a recording device or mixing console.
With versatile tone for rock, jazz, or metal, the new generation ValveKings have the capabilities to create almost any sound imaginable. ValveKing's proprietary Vari-ClassTM knob enables guitarists to adjust the ValveKing's "class" characteristics, allowing for complete power amp type versatility. True to its name, ValveKing even includes the new TSITM tube-monitoring indicator that keeps you apprised of the health of your tubes.
ValveKing offers other high-end features, including variable power control, so you can tailor your output to your performance situation without compromising tone. With triple 12AX7s, two independent foot-switchable channels each with their own EQ, and the Vari-Class variable Class A/AB simulation control, the next generation ValveKing delivers massive amounts of completely customizable all-tube power.

Comments about Peavey ValveKing II 20 20W 1x12 Tube Guitar Combo Amp:
Let me preface this by saying I ran this all through an American Strat SSS, and tried just about everything to find a style that there isn't a tone for. Couldn't do it. You get cleans in pretty much every voice, and the EQ is super responsive. Dirty channel does just what a Peavey should, rock hard. While I didn't dive into super heavy stuff, I played a bit of Megadeth and Pantera and it handled it really well. You can get great crunch out of it too. I'm not too wordy, but what I can definitely say is that for home use, I've never gotten a better tone and more diversity out of an amp than this one. The ability to lower the wattage is especially helpful for late night playing, and for the price it's definitely worth it.

Comments about Peavey ValveKing II 20 20W 1x12 Tube Guitar Combo Amp:
I'm not sure where the first two reviewers tapped into their negativity. A friend of mine owns a store, not two miles from my home. I've been dropping by and playing this amp for weeks now, both during busy hours and during times when store is empty and I can crank it.
Honestly, this is the finest guitar tone I've heard from Peavey. The cleans are touch sensitive and as warm/Fendery or as bright/Voxy as you would want, and the dirty channel allows you to make use of every control.
Honestly, I have tuned in to just about every point along the pre-gain and master, I've fiddled with the push buttons, with the damping, the variable wattage, the presence control, the reverb, etc., and I've gotten everything from my favorite Robben Ford/Larry Carlton tones (it does Dumble style tone in spades with the pregain low, to singing classic rock, Allman Bros., early Doobies, Zeppelin, Bad Company, whatever your taste in great classic guitar tone, it's definitely in there. Obviously, it will do metal and shred, most Peaveys will, and it does it easily and with tuning ease.
It's also very, very quiet, no hissing issues. The effects loop is excellent, no volume matching or signal strength issues at all.
I cannot find a single negative with this amp. It roars and sparkles at low and moderate volumes. It offers great sustain and even feedback at low volumes, if you want that. It will also rattle your sheetrock on clean and dirty channels.
Obviously it's only 20 watts, so going un-mic'd at an outdoor show may not be advisable. As far as small to medium gigs, it will fill a room with no mic to the PA. I haven't mic'd it up myself, but I cannot imagine anything but great results.
Honestly, and no offense, the first two guys sound like sour grapes Marshall employees.
This amp is the shiznit, I promise you. No matter what your taste in music, you can dial in and play your heart out. Very satisfying piece of gear. I've actually just sold a very expensive boutique amp (a great one, I won't mention the name) due to some other financial needs. I'm going to get either this or the 50 watt. I honestly am excited about making music with a high quality amp that I didn't pay much for.

Comments about Peavey ValveKing II 20 20W 1x12 Tube Guitar Combo Amp:
This amp was ok at home for minor use but i tried using this amp at two different places outside my home. One was the place we practiced and the other was an outside venue. The amp was a total let down at those places. The other guitar player had a small solid state 15w amp and it totally blew this amp out of the water. I had to crank this amp to full volume to just get this thing to produce anything that might resemble a tone. I ended up having to borrow another bands amp to use for the show. When i got back from the show i went straight to the music store and traded it in for a Fender Hot Rod Deluxe III. My days with Peavey amps are over. Sorry if this review is a bit harsh but i just get fed up with equipment that doesn't work. And yes i've had plenty experience with that, i've been playing for almost 30 years.

Comments about Peavey ValveKing II 20 20W 1x12 Tube Guitar Combo Amp:
I wanted to try a peavey tube amp, and this amp was pretty good. Loved the watt selection and the other features. Peavey amps rarely break, and I wanted an affordable reliable tube amp.
The only thing i would critisize on this amp was the construction was to light duty for the price. The back is wide open and the plywood was rather thin. I know weight is always an issue, but the back should at least have a screen or a cross board. also hard to use on an amp stand with wide open back.
The sound was good, but after cranking the 20 watt version up with the band, I found the distortion sound was a little harsher than the marshall i use. I ended up swaping this amp for a marshall 112 as I do preferr the marshall sound. We all have different ears, and the sound was still good, but I am a marshall guy. Overall, this amp is still a good value for the cost.

Flashes of dark humor and steady, grounded performances make it a welcome return for Miller, making her first film since 2005's "The Ballad of Jack and Rose."
Miller never really fleshes out all of these colorful characters in her emotionally facile script, leaving the heavy lifting to the actors. Fortunately for The Private Lives of Pippa Lee, Wright is more than up to the challenge.
Wright gives the title character a complexity and emotional shading often missing in this kind of ensemble comedy/drama. Pippa has the feel of a heroine in literature, rather than on the big screen.
Unfortunately, writer-director Rebecca Miller's script tries so hard to be nervous and edgy that it ultimately succeeds only in making its viewers nervous and edgy.
The mix is Lifetime soap–meets–Woody Allen smart-set comedy, with less humor and a genteel Connecticut setting.
Perched uncomfortably between flat whimsy and Lifetime movie crescendos, the coming-of-middle-age comic drama The Private Lives of Pippa Lee is rough going.
Awkward in ways both intended and not, the fourth feature from author and director Rebecca Miller is an attempt at a comic change of pace for the usually earnest Miller.
It almost works. We almost care about her. A whopper of a plot twist late in the game explains Pippa's transformation as some kind of self-flagellatory penance, but by that point it feels like an afterthought.
By turns antic, frantic, and dull, "Pippa Lee" is unconvincing – emotionally, dramatically, filmically.
In this densely populated ensemble piece, Reeves stands out as the only actor whose damaged character evokes sympathy and avoids cliché. Pippa, played by Wright Penn in near-permanent Stepford Wife mode, isn't much more than a vehicle for false epiphanies and forced rapprochements.
Adult children and friends watch nervously as Pippa reclaims a measure of spunk; too bad it all feels like one of those pharmaceutical ads for longer, healthier lifestyles.
These actors know how to liven up a room, yet here they're forced to perform in Miller's Theater for the Overwritten.

For a frame of reference, the others were Fish Tank, A Single Man, Port of Call New Orleans: Bad Lieutenant and Watchmen.
Well done all actors here and even more so to Rebecca Miller for pulling it off with such aplomb. A movie with flashbacks that are never of the tedious, by-rote type of so many films, the structure is surprising in a very good way. Of the actors, only Zoe Kazan, daughter of Communist witchhunt namer of names, Elia Kazan, is unconvincing. Everyone else here is nigh-on perfect including Keanu Reeves who gives a lovely, understated performance while endearingly retaining certain of his acting 'tics'. If any reader of this appreciates any films in the following list, then this one will go down well too: The Secret Life of Words, the Visitor, A Single Man, Welcome to the Riley's or the Kids are All Right. There are no guns, explosions, violent twists in plot, and it doesn't rely on suspense. Nothing here is so unsubtle, but then neither is this a 'women's movie' (like Steel Magnolia's or films along those lines) or an arthouse movie. The characters are sensitively drawn and expressive while the structure of the film makes is constantly interesting.… Full Review »

Donald John Trump, Sr. (born June 14, 1946) is an American businessperson and media personality. He is the chairman and president of The Trump Organization and the founder of Trump Entertainment Resorts. Trump's career, branding efforts, personal life, wealth, and outspoken manner have made him famous throughout the country. Since 2015, he is also a candidate for the Republican nomination for President of the United States in the 2016 election.
Trump is a native of New York City and a son of Fred Trump, who inspired him to enter real estate development. After two years at Fordham University and while studying at Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, Trump worked for his father's firm, Elizabeth Trump & Son. Upon graduating in 1968 he joined the company, and in 1971 was given control, renaming the company "The Trump Organization". Since then he has built hotels, golf courses, and other properties, many of which bear his name. He is a major figure in the American business scene and has received prominent media exposure. The NBC reality show The Apprentice bolstered his fame, and his three marriages were extensively reported in tabloids.
Rachel Anne Maddow (i/ˈmædoʊ/, born April 1, 1973) is an American television host, political commentator, and author. She hosts a nightly television show, The Rachel Maddow Show, on MSNBC. Her syndicated talk radio program of the same name aired on Air America Radio. Maddow is the first openly gay anchor to host a major prime-time news program in the United States. She holds a doctorate in politics from Oxford University.
Asked about her political views by the Valley Advocate, Maddow replied, "I'm undoubtedly a liberal, which means that I'm in almost total agreement with the Eisenhower-era Republican party platform."
Maddow was born in Castro Valley, California. Her father, Robert B. "Bob" Maddow, is a former United States Air Force captain who resigned his commission the year before her birth and found civilian work as a lawyer for the East Bay Municipal Utility District. Her mother, Elaine Maddow (née Gosse), is a school program administrator. She has one older brother, David. Her paternal grandfather was from an Eastern European Jewish family (the original family surname being "Medwedof"), while her paternal grandmother was of Dutch (Protestant) background; her mother, originally from Newfoundland, Canada, is of English and Irish ancestry. Maddow has stated that her family is "very, very Catholic," and she grew up in a community that her mother has described as "very conservative." Maddow was a competitive athlete and participated in three sports in high school: volleyball, basketball, and swimming. Referencing John Hughes films, she has described herself as being "a cross between the jock and the antisocial girl" in high school.

Today, we started our morning with homemade blueberry kefir---a beverage that's becoming something of a staple in our home---creamy and satisfying, sweet and tangy, loaded with good probiotics and convenient to grab on the go. Even though making our own kefir is something we've talked about since before we were married, it's only been in the last few weeks that we've finally ordered live kefir grains online and begun the process of combining them with raw milk and watching them grow. And, just as it is with ice cream in this household, the person behind the process is the one much more knowledgeable about food and nutrition in this marriage, Tim---which is why today's FAQ-style post is all from him! Below, he answers questions on how to make kefir, why use live grains, why it's so good for you and more. Enjoy! … [Read more...]

In this tutorial I will describe how to install and configure MyDNS and MyDNSConfig. MyDNS is a DNS server that uses a MySQL database as backend instead of configuration files like, for example, Bind or djbdns. The advantage is that MyDNS simply reads the records from the database, and it does not have to be restarted/reloaded when DNS records change or zones are created/edited/deleted. A secondary nameserver can be easily set up by installing a second instance of MyDNS that accesses the same database or, to be more redundant, uses the MySQL master / slave replication features to replicate the data to the secondary nameserver. http://www.howtoforge.com/mydns_mydnsconfig_dnsmasp_on_ubuntu_edgy
Normally, when a program runs under Linux, it inherits the permissions of the user who is running it, thus if I run a program under my account, the program runs with the same permissions that I would have if that program were me.

If I set the SUID or SGID bit for a file, this causes any persons or processes that run the file to have access to system resources as though they are the owner of the file. http://www.howtoforge.com/linux_setting_suid_sgid_bits

Marvel Assembles an Official Title for Third "Avengers" Movie
Comic Books, Film
Here is the latest in our year-long look at one cool comic (whether it be a self-contained work, an ongoing comic or a run on a long-running title that featured multiple creative teams on it over the years) a day (in no particular order whatsoever)! Here's the archive of the moments posted so far!
Today we look at D. Curtis Johnson's Chase!
Chase was a short-lived DC Comic from the late 1990s written by D. Curtis Johnson with art by JH Williams and Mick Gray (back when Williams was simply a great artist and not the greatest artist in mainstream comics).
The series followed the adventures of Cameron Chase, newly hired agent for the Department of Extranormal Operations. Chase would investigate possible superhuman sightings plus go on various other superhero-related missions.
The breadth of the DEO canvas was vast.
What Johnson did best with the series was both create a strong, vibrant lead character in Cameron Chase, then surround her with people that she could play off of, all the while giving the book a realistic touch, making the superheroics in the book seem all that much more grander.
And, of course, he had JH freakin' Williams on pencils, which doesn't hurt when you want to do some strong character-based storytelling!
Here's a bit from issue #2, where we intercut Chase's arguments with her boyfriend (who moved to New York with Chase when she got her new job at the DEO) with her current mission, working with the Suicide Squad…
In #3, we see Chase on the mission – Williams really shines here with the re-designs he does of the Rocket Red Brigade. He takes the approach that the Rocket Reds, post-USSR, would be a good deal less impressive-looking, and it really works.
A striking aspect of Johnson's work was how well he used DC continuity – he was actually pretty darn respectful of the toys he was using, and he used some characters that had been in limbo for some time (the Suicide Squad and, in this issue #4, Booster Gold…)….
Chase's background hides a story of a father who was a superhero himself, and was murdered by a supervillain.
In issue #6, Chase breaks the news to her sister when they're forced to talk to each other after the elevator they're riding in stalls during a blackout…
Man, Williams tells stories so well. What a great artist.
Finally, in issues #7-8, Chase is tasked on finding out Batman's secret identity. Speaking of continuity nods, look at how Johnson acknowledges how there is ANOTHER notable DC hero in Gotham City…
As you can tell, the book looked AMAZING, and Johnson had a James Robinson on Starman approach to both DC history but also character-based work. All wrapped in one of the few strong, independent female leads out there.
This was a very good series, and it sadly lasted only 10 issues (#1-9 plus a #1,000,000 issue).
With Williams being such a famous artist nowadays, DC might actually be able to sell enough Chase TPBs for it to be worth their while to put them out! I hope they do some day!
Chase is a great series. Wonderful work from Williams III and it seemed to have so much potential at exploring every corner of the DCU while still telling it's own story.
Also, one request for this feature Brian (and I hope this doesn't sound ungrateful or demanding) but when you add cool comics to the master list, could you also specify the issue numbers? I only ask because the Top 100 Comic Book Storylines master list was incredibly useful when hunting through back issues, because I could check that one page on my iPhone while in the store and see immediately exactly which issue numbers of which titles to hunt for.
I know you usually mention the issue numbers in the individual article itself, so this is basically laziness on my part, but it would be a really useful resource to have them all in one place (if possible).
I think it's worth mentioning that Chase didn't really like the superhero community at all, in large part because of what happened to her father, but also because she had a power (dampening of other's metahuman abilities) of her own, which she couldn't control and manifested itself only at times of extreme stress. That explains the resigned expression in the page in which the Suicide Squad is introduced, for example.
One of my all-time favorite series. I just wish there had been more of it.
Chase was a fantastic series that ended far too soon. I was so happy when Marc Andreyko started using her in Manhunter, as she was a perfect fit.
good series for i remember how chase proved to be a woman who would take no gruff as for a trade maybe dc will remember it now that williams is so hot. though it may fall into the dare not reprint due to royalties issues
Much of the continuity of this series got carried on (and wrapped up) in John Ostrander's Martian Manhunter series.
I've always wondered, were the two characters on "House" named Cameron and Chase inspired by this series? It seems unlikely, but also too odd to be a coincidence…
And of course Cameron Chase herself showed up as an important supporting character in Andreyko's Manhunter – even including a confrontation with Trapp himself!
Those pages are really beautiful. This book often gets recommended in the same breath as Starman and Hitman. Since I didn't like those, I assumed I wouldn't like this either, but these pages (art and dialogue) are changing my mind. For one thing, the coloring has aged a lot better on this book!
I believe those sixties/seventies characters were revealed to be "The Justice Experience", and as already mentioned above came up again in the Martian Manhunter series, were it was revealed J'onn, in disguise, was one of the heroes on that team.
The DEO has continued to be a part of the DC universe since then, hasn't it?
What's especially interesting about Chase is how well it exemplifies the way short-lived pop influences can be transcended with good writing. It's not hard to see that the series got a greenlight in part because of the popularity of shows like The X-Files and, more generally, that mid-to-late 1990s mainstreaming of conspiracy theory culture.
But D. Curtis Johnson, J.H. Williams III, and Mick Gray made the comic not only about sharp, well-defined characters, but also about relatively pragmatic and interesting situations that didn't rely on a borrowed sci-fi subgenre or short-term, in-the-moment plotting.
This series was so much smarter than it needed to be, the best sort of labor of love: one that gets the best work possible out of its creators.
This series is notable for totally stealing the "Acro-Bat" concept that I invented in fourth grade for *my* Batman ripoff character. Curse you, Johnsonnnnnnnnnn!
Williams III's art was great back in the day. Too bad it didn't last, but then again, if it did, we might not have had Promethea, Desolation Jones (first arc), Detective Comics: Batwoman today.
@ Bill Reed: True, but you can at least still sue your Jewish Batman ripoff, Sha-Bat.
use, not sue. Or not.
Wish I'd been able to pick up the series back in the day. Only got into Chase via her appearances in John Ostrander's "Martian Manhunter", which itself is a fantastic comic I hope makes this feature (criminally under-looked and seemingly retconned out).
Loved how J'onn and Chase finally deal with Doctor Trapp's in that series. Absolutely fabulous character.
Ha, never trust a man with two first names. I guess Marvel's trope was alliteration, and DC's was two first names…
Well I am happy with the recognition for Chase. This book was ahead of its time and I have no doubt that if it was released today, Chase would be on everyone's must read lists for strong storytelling and character work.
ESPECIALLY when she found out who her boss was….
The "Quest for Batman" book is an all time classic and..and.. now I have an urge to plunge inside my longboxes…lol
Do I lose some comic fan cred for not noticing the two first names thing? Clark Kent, Bruce Wayne, Alan Scott, Barry Allen, John Stewart, Ronald Raymond… though, that's all I can come up with now.
I discovered this book with issue #8 or 9, and immediately picked up all the back issues. Then I discovered it had just been canceled.
Around the same time, I discovered Chronos, picked up all the back issues…and discovered that had just been canceled as well. Maybe a month or two later. Both of them ended right around DC One Million, and both of them were great series that ended way too soon.
My memory is a little fuzzy, but I thought both Chase and Chronos were supposed to be canceled around the same time. They ended up keeping Chronos because Archie Goodwin had recently passed away and it was one of the last projects he edited. However the book ended because the writer, John Francis Moore, ended up leaving the book. It's too bad that both these books were so good yet only lasted a year.
Indeed, Kelson, both Chase and Chronos ended with their gimmick-numbered One Million issues. It wasn't the first time DC used a crossover to close out a title: Underworld Unleashed tie-ins made up the final issues of the earlier series Primal Force and the late-1990s incarnation of Manhunter.
I only got the first two issues of this one (I was a poor highschool student, not much of a DC man, and soon out of comics altogehter for a couple of years), but one things stuck with me that I've never been sure about – in the first issue of the series, at the DEO office when Chase first arrives there, Martian Manhunter is in the background, standing next to a female Martian (well, someone who looks like him but is a woman)…
Who the heck was that?
With Williams being such a famous artist nowadays, DC might actually be able to sell enough Chase TPBs for it to be worth their while to put them out! I hope they do some day!
It's a crime it hasn't been!
It's too bad that both these books were so good yet only lasted a year.
DC did a whole heap of books where they basically threw things at the wall to see what stuck.
Not a lot, but there sure were some interesting books.
This book was ahead of its time and I have no doubt that if it was released today, Chase would be on everyone's must read lists for strong storytelling and character work.
And people would finally stop thinking that Manhunter and Alias were the best books with female characters ever.
Young Heroes in Love also ended with issue 1 Million.
I loved Chase and Young Heroes in Love. Chronos never really did it for me – or lived up to its initial promise.
Creeper ended with issue 1 Million too. Man, lot's o' casualties with that crossover!
Maybe someone mentioned it above. Maybe not. Chase also appeared (written by Johnson) in about every Secret Files and Origins at the turn of the century. This included Flash, DCU Heroes, DCU Villains, Guide to the DCU, Young Justice: Sins of Youth, JSA, Joker: Last Laugh, JLA/JSA, and even Batgirl.
There was a continuing story about a traitor at the DEO. It was nice to get some Chase in the package. These stories made up for the often irrelevant lead features.
It makes sense to me, really — if you're book's being canceled, a crossover that lets you cheekily claim to have reached issue #1,000,000 seems like a good way to go.
Chronos never really did it for me – or lived up to its initial promise.
I liked it, but agree – heck, I'd go further, it never lived up to the promise of the first half of #1.
I was captivated when you had the 40(?) year old Chronos watching the Beatles and then wandering about,meeting up with that girl who he was a rival with – and they were ex-loves of each others life – and the part with city of time and him as an old man watching him as a middle aged man watch him as a youth….
Then it cut to him at student age and did his origin… and then the next few issues were his first adventure through time – which would have been fine, but it never got back to the multiple versions of him at different ages and such, which I'd found really compelling.
(Heck, the first half of the first issue made me think I'd found the new Starman).
I thought it was a fun series, but it could have been a great series.
My problem was two-fold. The early suggestion was that this would be a character who walks the like between good-guy and villain, yet what we actually got was one of the wettest goody goody characters I've ever seen.
Also, I love time travel stories and all the possibilities they present. Frank Millers's Robocop vs Terminator, Back to the Future, The Butterfly Effect and even Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure all showed the kind of fun which can be had with time travel, yet this series squandered those possibilities. IIRC it just started to make decent use of them in the final arc before it was cancelled.
It didn't help that the art was decidedly mediocre too (though as Animal Man shows that's not a complete deal breaker on its own)
That should be "walks the line"

WASHINGTON -- After a sharply partisan debate on Wednesday, the House of Representatives passed an $819 billion economic stimulus package designed to create millions of jobs quickly and give consumers more money to spend.
The vote was 244 to 188. None of the House's 178 Republican members voted yes.
Despite a fresh plea for cooperation from President Barack Obama, who insisted that "we don't have a moment to spare," Republicans spurned the Democratic bill.
The White House tried hard to soften the partisan edges. Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel met privately on Tuesday night with a small group of GOP moderates, but the effort was futile.
"The bill is extremely expensive for what you get out of it," said Rep. Michael Castle, R-Del.
The measure, which now goes to the Senate -- where it's likely to be changed considerably -- has $544 billion in spending and $275 billion in tax cuts. Highlights include a $79 billion State Fiscal Stabilization Fund, which would help state governments with education and other expenses, while $30 billion more would be targeted for highway and bridge construction projects.
The bill also gives most taxpayers breaks of $500 each on their payroll taxes and increases tax breaks for college tuition, first-time homebuyers and child care.
The bill originally was estimated to cost $825 billion, but a more precise calculation by the Congressional Budget Office put it at $819 billion.
Democrats hailed the measure as immediate and necessary relief, as well as the first big triumph of Obama's eight-day-old presidency.
"Today we are passing historic legislation that honors the promises our new president made from the steps of the Capitol," said House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif.
She estimated that the bill would help create and save 3 million to 4 million jobs during the next two years.
Democrats backed up their claims with a report from the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office, which said that 64 percent of the funds would be pumped into the economy by Sept. 30, 2010.
The package, said House Appropriations Committee Chairman David Obey, D-Wis., "is probably smaller than it ought to be, but it's well worth doing."
Republicans said that the spending would trickle out too slowly and the tax cuts weren't generous enough.
"Most Republicans will oppose this bill for one reason: It won't work," said Rep. Mike Pence, R-Ind., the chairman of the House Republican Conference, which helps promote party policies.
Republicans cited CBO estimates that the stimulus would cause the federal deficit, already estimated to reach $1.2 trillion this year, to be at $170 billion more this year and $819 billion more through 2019.
"We're using our economic woes to grow government spending to epic and historic proportions," charged Rep. Ken Calvert, R-Calif.
Some of the spending will be "wasteful," said House Minority Leader John Boehner, R-Ohio. A plan to provide funds to help consumers convert to digital television "looks like a slush fund to me," he said.
House Republicans proposed an alternative plan that included lower income tax rates for middle- and lower-income workers, tax credits for homebuyers and other tax provisions. It was easily defeated on a party-line vote.
"What good is a tax cut when you don't have a job?" asked House Majority Whip James Clyburn, D-S.C.
Freshmen Democrats said that the bill would bring instant help to their beleaguered districts.
"What this bill does is it meets human needs. It does what a just society does: It feeds the hungry, it shelters the homeless and it heals the sick," said Rep. Alan Grayson, D-Fla.
Underlying the debate was some often angry partisanship. Obama tried to set a new tone on Tuesday when he visited separately with House and then Senate Republicans. On Wednesday, after meeting with business executives at the White House, he again urged cooperation and civility.
"I know that some are skeptical about the size and scale of this recovery plan," he said. "I understand that skepticism, which is why this recovery plan will include unprecedented measures that will allow the American people to hold my administration accountable."
That didn't stop the partisan bickering.
"We welcome the criticism of our Republican friends," said House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer, D-Md. "But let's put that criticism in some context. Republicans have been consistently wrong on economics."
Republicans vigorously contested his views.
The bill "won't create many jobs, but it will create plenty of programs and projects through slow-moving government spending," Boehner said.
Because House rules make it difficult for the minority party to have much influence, and Democrats control 255 seats -- 37 more than needed to pass a bill -- there was little motivation to cooperate.
Republicans will have more clout in the 100-member Senate: It takes 60 votes to stop a filibuster, and the GOP controls 41 seats. Already, the Senate bill includes $70 billion to help 24 million taxpayers who would be subject to the alternative minimum tax this year.
Senate Republicans have signaled that they will try to add other tax cuts, provide more incentives for housing and cut spending.
Among their initiatives is likely to be a plan for the federal government to guarantee the first year or two of 4 percent, 30-year mortgages for new and refinancing homeowners.
"Housing is what got us into this problem in the first place. We should do more to fix housing," said Nevada Sen. John Ensign, the Republican Senate Policy Committee chairman.
Senate consideration of the bill is likely to take all of next week and perhaps beyond. Once a bill is passed, negotiators from both houses will work out a compromise, hoping to craft a final version that can be sent to Obama by mid-February.
House Republicans wouldn't rule out backing a compromise.
"A lot of us would consider voting for the final version," Delaware's Castle said.
Economic stimulus plan summary

$13 billion. Housing -- $13 billion to repair and make more energy-efficient public housing projects, allow communities to buy and repair foreclosed homes, and help the homeless.
$4.45 billion. Environment -- $3.2 billion to clean up Superfund and waste sites, leaking underground storage tanks, nuclear sites and military bases, as well as $400 million for habitat restoration projects and $850 million to prevent forest fires.
$4 billion. Law enforcement -- $4 billion in grants to state and local law enforcement to hire officers and purchase equipment.
* $500 per-worker, $1,000 per-couple tax cut for two years, costing about $145 billion. For the last half of 2009, workers could expect to see about $20 a week less withheld from their paychecks starting in June. Millions of Americans who don't make enough money to pay federal income taxes could file returns next year and receive checks.
* Greater access to the $1,000 per-child tax credit for the working poor in 2009 and 2010, at a cost of $18.3 billion. Under current law, workers must make at least $8,500 to receive the credit. The change eliminates the floor, meaning more workers who pay no federal income taxes could receive checks.
* Increase the earned-income tax credit -- which provides money to the working poor -- for families with at least three children, at a cost of $4.7 billion.
* Provide a $2,500 tax credit for college tuition and related expenses for 2009 and 2010, at a cost of $10.3 billion. The credit is phased out for couples making more than $160,000.
* Repeal a requirement that a $7,500 first-time homebuyer tax credit be paid back over time for homes purchased from Jan. 1 to July 1, unless the home is sold within three years, at a cost of $2.6 billion. The credit is phased out for couples making more than $150,000.
* Extend a provision allowing businesses buying equipment such as computers to speed up the depreciation of that equipment through 2009, at a cost of $5 billion.
* Provide an infusion of cash into money-losing companies by allowing them to claim tax credits on past profits dating back five years instead of two, at a cost of $15 billion.
* Repeal a Treasury provision that allowed firms that buy money-losing banks to use more of the losses as tax credits to offset the profits of the merged banks for tax purposes. The change would increase taxes on the merged banks by $7 billion over 10 years.
* Subsidize locally issued bonds for school construction, teacher training, economic development and infrastructure improvements, at a cost of $35.5 billion.
* Extend tax credits for renewable energy production, at a cost of $13 billion.
* Extend and increase tax credits to homeowners who make their homes more energy efficient, at a cost of $4.3 billion. Homeowners could receive tax credits of up to $1,500 for upgrading furnaces and hot water heaters and making other improvements through 2010.

Murray students suspended for playing pass-out game
Kristin Murphy, Deseret News
MURRAY — Ahmed Ahmed, 11, thought it looked fun.
"I thought it was a good game. I didn't know it was a dangerous game."
Some kids call it "pass out." Others refer to it as "knock out." And some even refer to it as the "monkey space thing," according to a police report.
Whatever the verbage, police, school officials and emergency room doctors say it has the same results: it could be potentially fatal.
For years, juveniles have played a game that involves choking or cutting off a person's air to the point that they faint or pass out. Sometimes the game involves punching the victim's stomach or making heavy chest compressions. Some children then try to slap or shake their friend back to consciousness.
Tuesday, the game landed Ahmed in the hospital. He was in relatively good condition Wednesday with several noticeable scrapes on his face and a giant goose egg on his forehead.
Ahmed said he was outside James E. Moss Elementary School, 4399 S. 500 East, at recess on Tuesday afternoon when he saw some classmates playing the fainting game. He said they asked him how old he was, and then convinced him to give it a try.
"This is the first time I've played it," he said Wednesday. "I felt bad. I felt dizzy, so dizzy."
The students had Ahmed "breathe in and out 16 times while holding his breath, followed by the other individuals punching/hitting him in his chest and stomach area," according to a report from the Granite Police Department.
They asked him if he "wanted to get knocked out," which included pushing on his chest when he finished breathing.
The process caused Ahmed to faint and fall face first onto the concrete ground. He said Wednesday he did not remember what happened. But other students told him that after he was done with the breathing part of the game, he ran a little bit and fell on his face.
"I wasn't seeing anything," he said. "I didn't know what I was doing."
A Granite police officer went to the home of the boy's "emergency contact," a relative, who picked the boy up from school. He found him lying down with an ice pack on his head. He also had cuts on his face and a bloody nose and lip, according to the report.
The officer contacted Unified Fire Authority paramedics, who transported the boy to Primary Children's Medical Center.
Some of the students involved later told police, "They believed if you're 10 or 11 years old that you would be OK to get knocked out ... (but) if you were 9 that you could die."
Dr. Charles Pruitt, a pediatric emergency medicine doctor at Primary Children's Medical Center, said that's not the case. Anytime any person of any age does it, it could have severe results.
"When you cut off oxygen to the brain, you have seconds to minutes before causing irreparable brain damage," he said. "Anytime you're cutting off blood circulation to the brain you're starving it."
One of the alleged students involved told police he learned about "getting knocked out" by another student who did it to him during the first recess, according to the police report.
Another student said he was "playing a 'bad game' called 'fainting' with his friends" when another student came up to them and asked if he could play, too, the report states.
The students were reportedly all fifth-grade boys. All of the four or five boys involved in the game were suspended from school through the end of the week. The students were suspended under the Safe Schools policy, said Granite School District spokesman Ben Horsley.

Quick background: I have been having a lot of connection issues with my home network. I finally got my ISP to understand and after them checking some of the problems outside of my home I've gone from 5 timeouts an hour to at most 1. Some of these timeouts were causing my connection to drop 100% long enough for any live connection to fully disconnect.
Explanation: Today I was monitoring my connection (via pings to my first hop) and my connection dropped for every computer on the network at the same exact time for about 10 seconds. While every service running on our PCs and pings to Google stopped in their tracks, pings to my first hop continued without interruption.
The Question: Being that I've had connection problems, I have continued to monitor the connection to see if the problem was indeed fixed. Now, I wonder, how normal is the above situation? Should I accept this, or should I report this? Also, what is the most likely cause of such a problem?

Historical Traveler Reviews Hampton Inn Pensacola Beach
One of the best hotels we have ever stayed at!
We stayed at this Hampton Inn on the beach in October 2003 for 5 nights. Everything was perfect. The room was roomy, clean and the king bed extremely comfortable. The gulf view from our balcony was outstanding. The staff went out of their way to be friendly. They were always helpful whether you needed directions, extra towels, ect. The pool area was sparkling clean. The breakfast bar was the best we have ever had - the best variety and freshest food anywhere. No matter what time you went to eat, they always had it completely stocked from 6-10am. The friendly staff around the breakfast area were great. We cannot say enough good things about this hotel. If we visit Pensacola Beach again this will definately be where we stay!
A very, very pleasant experience
My husband, 2 year old daughter and I stayed at the Hampton Inn Pensacola Beach last September. We had a very enjoyable and positive experience. The Hampton Inn is not a luxury hotel and likely not meant to be....but it is very clean, immediately accessible to the beach, had exceptionally friendly staff and was very affordable. When we left, we felt rested, refreshed and pleased. I've stayed in luxury hotels and have often felt a bit "taken advantage of" in terms of value. The value with the Hampton Inn Pensacola Beach was excellent. And the view of the water was superb.
Surprise Paradise
Our family of five was traveling a new route to visit the grandparents in Ohio. We had planned to overnight in Biloxi, Mississippi but decided to press on since we were ahead of schedule. Imagine our complete surprise when we took a short detail to see the beach in Florida and discovered this Hampton Inn. Our planned one night stay stretched to five, and we were very sorry to have to leave our newfound paradise.
The staff treated us so well that we plan to return next summer for another week. We're inviting friends and family to meet us there. No trip to Ohio next year!
Nice hotel but a bit overpriced
We just spent four nights at this hotel. We enjoyed our stay. Our room
was a gulf view with a balcony. We were glad we splurged on the gulf
room. However, the room smelled like mold from the minute we walked in.
I talked to the front desk. The hotel was full so checking into another
gulf room wasn't an option. Every time we entered the room we noticed
the bad smell. But, we quickly adjusted and didn't notice it as much.
It was bearable, but disappointing for $150 per night (with a
discounted rate). The hotel was quite clean otherwise. The staff were
wonderful. They went out of their way to be friendly and helpful. The
breakfast bar was fantastic! It is actually three bars full. Note: No
meat and only hard boiled for eggs. But lots of other choices. We
especially loved the fresh fruit salads. We don't get fruit that good
in Kansas! The kids were glad they served Krispy Kreme doughnuts!
Really there is a lot of variety. You won't go hungry! They have trays
available if you prefer to take breakfasts to your own room. (Some
other hotels prohibit you taking any breakfast foods to your rooms.) We
all experienced our first jellyfish stings. The hotel has a vinegar
spray at the front desk that will help ease the sting. After the first
two visits to the front desk for spray, they provided me with a nice
small vinegar spray bottle to keep with us at the beach. The hotel has
no control over the jellyfish. It was just unfortunate they were there
at the same time we were. The stings were bearable though and we were
there to enjoy the beach so we continued to swim. The surf was too
rough for the kids a couple of days, but hubby and I really enjoyed
boogie boarding in it. We even got to see dolphins swimming just off
the shore one day. Awesome!! Nice pools, but we spent most time at the
beach or looking off our balcony at the beach. Beautiful white sand
that clings to everything!!! Nice for sandcastles. Lots of seashells to
find. Bring your own beach umbrella or be prepared to pay $$.
Hotel has great location on the beach. Expensive but worth it to be so near the beach with three kids. Just don't expect a fancy room for the money and you'll love the Hampton at Pensacola Beach.
Two Thumbs Up!
The Hampton Inn, Pensacola Beach, is a newer hotel with a great view of the Gulf of Mexico. Gulf-view rooms are all facing the Gulf directly, no unsightly buildings or parking lots with these rooms! Bay view (back) overlook the hotel's parking lot, but it is landscaped nicely and you still have a beautiful view of the bay on the North side of the island. Hotel staff are friendly and helpful. Hotel is a bit on the expensive side ($189/night for Gulf view), but the hotel is clean and comfortable and sits directly on the beach. The rooms are spacious, but a little sterile. Perhaps this helps the housekeeping staff to keep up with the sand... The sand on the beaches here is like fine grained white sugar! All-in-all, a nice hotel. We give it a strong B+.
Came from the UK and were well pleased..
My family and I Spent 4 nights at the Hampton Inn on Pensacola Beach.
Sea view room with balcony was excellent, and staff, service was very good indeed. Nice to take breakfast outside watching the beach-front, we set ourselves up by the pool and took short walks directly to the sea for a cool off, then back to the pool. Front desk staff very helpful. Not much to do at night so I wouldn't suggest more than a few nights. Hampton Inn by Pensacola airport also of same high standard.
The best hotels we stayed in during 900miles of touring through Florida.
Felt like we were at home
This was the best hotel stay ever. The staff was always happy and helpful. Whoever owns this hotel truely cares about his/her workers and customers. I highly recommend this hotel.
It rained off and on during our stay of 3 days - but we had a fantastic time anyway. The staff at this hotel is so helpful and friendly. The rooms are larger than the average hotel room and I would definitely recommend the beach view rooms with balcony. We had a great view and when you have young children who need to nap, or when it's raining, nothing beats a oceanfront balcony! The breakfast is substantial and well-stocked. A+
Great Family Beach Hotel
Great beachside hotel for the family. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Our family of five stayed 6 nights in an inland room in June 2003 for $129 per night. The continental breakfast was great. The beach was wonderful with lifeguards on-duty and two pools are available at the hotel.
Great hotel and location
This is the place to stay at Pensacola Beach. Nice hotel with balcony and ocean view for each room. Excellent free continental breakfast. Very friendly staff. No bar or restaurant, but many nearby. Cross the highway and there are several beach bars and restaurants with live music on the intercoastal water within walking distance.

Home comforts rule (for this weekend anyway)
... but the thought of being woken up at 2am and having to get the little ones up and on the road didn't really cut the mustard so we slogged on to Pensacola. When we finally got here, the children went wild in the beach playground and the beer tasted as good as beer can get.

The water would wash over then and then they'd use their foot to bury in the sand. So interesting to watch. The highlight was a large pod of dolphins. There were so many. I saw one jump out and another lift itself out of the water so its whole head and half of its torso was sticking out. So much better than going to an aquarium. We were ...

The camp ground was nearly full of Class A motor homes - these are the full bus size motor homes that more often than not tow ...

Dan Tangherlini, now confirmed as GSA administrator, had served as acting administrator since April of 2012.
The full Senate has confirmed the nomination of Dan Tangherlini to head the General Services Administration.
In the same series of votes, on June 27, the Senate also confirmed Brian Deese for deputy director of the Office of Management and Budget and Howard Shelanski to be the administrator of the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs in OMB. Tangherlini and Deese were confirmed by unanimous consent; Shelanski by a voice vote. Confirmation of all three had been widely anticipated.
Tangherlini has been acting administrator at GSA since April 2012, taking over the agency in the wake of a scandal surrounding lavish conference spending. "Over the past year, Mr. Tangherlini has led an impressive turnaround of GSA, and I am confident that he will continue this good work as administrator," said Sen. Tom Carper (D-Del.), who chairs the Homeland Security and Government Affairs Committee that held the confirmation hearings for all three officials.
Deese will head the budget side at OMB, serving under Director Sylvia Burwell. Previously he served as deputy director of the National Economic Council, and is credited for much of the behind-the-scenes work in the bailout of the U.S. automotive industry during the Obama administration's first term.
At OIRA, Shelanski takes charge of a little-known but powerful office, which reviews all federal rules and regulations before they take effect. Before being tapped to head OIRA, Shelanski held several senior government posts, including director of the Bureau of Economics at the Federal Trade Commission and chief economist at the Federal Communications Commission.

text: 09 July 2014 archive See all show photos WHERE this afternoon Elie Saab had plundered the wardrobe of a princess for his couture outing, Jean Paul Gaultier had very much taken from the opposite side of the fairy tale spectrum - borrowing from the evils and darker side of the story book world for a collection that was tough, gothic and dramatic. The hair was high and screamed Halloween. Meanwhile, the clothes drew on sporty elements for deluxe tracksuits in black velvet and silver crystal - hoodies came in the same red and black colour palette we saw last night at Armani but this time that colour combination was amped up to aggressive effect so that degradé sequins took on the guise of burning flames. Welcome to the dark side. For these were evil queens and Bela Lagosi muses before us - Snow White's stepmother and Morticia Addams among the cast of caped beauties. They swished around in sensational fishtail evening gowns or those with splaying chain-laden skirts; or in heavy draped hoods of sequins; blingy blousons and jumpsuits; and of course the classic JPG pinstripe suit we'll always see, only this time rendered in gold and with the stripe falling off into fringing at its hem. And as if that wasn't enough drama to keep us entertained on the catwalk, JPG closed the show with Eurovision Song Contest winner Conchita Wurst as his couture bride.

Middle names for Edie?
DH and I are expecting in December (2 days after big brother, Cole Matthew's bday!) and I'm convinced its a girl this time. We finally found a girl name we both like, Edie, but we are having trouble with a middle name. Our surname starts with F and is 2 syllables. I was thinking that since Edie is traditionally a nn it should be anchored with a good, strong mn, but god help me if I can think of anything. I like Edie Claire, but DH passed. Any suggestions?
Also, I'm a little paranoid...does Edie work as a stand alone name? DH actually likes Edith, but I really don't. Is Edie too cutesy for a "grown-ass woman?" Or is it too cutesy period, because I'd really like to avoid anything cloying and precious.
