Fallout character design by PaulHanleyWatch
©2010-2016 PaulHanley
I don't usually put up my original designs, but I need to beef up the ol' online portfolio a bit- so here ya go. This is Fallout, a character for an original comic I'm working on. Incidentally, this is a book I'm writing and doing concept art for, but NOT planning on drawing if I can help it. If there're any serious folks out there who want to talk about doing art duties and sharing ownership on a kickass creator-owned comic- we should talk...
Fallout is copyright Paul Hanley, 2007.

totally an ex-sith lord or something.. i see the resemblance of Lord Vader.....
really amazingly cool design.
he's so detailed.
he's so detailed.
Wow! Bad guy? He's pretty creepy! *shivers*
He looks derelict at first glance, but I could see him murdering someone in a heartbeat!
He looks derelict at first glance, but I could see him murdering someone in a heartbeat!
Thanks! And yeah, definitely a bad guy (albeit one with a tragic and sympathetic origin). "Derelict" is actually a pretty apt description of his personality, and he DOES murder a lot of folks (mostly without even noticing it).
This character is even cooler than the last. Do some turnarounds or something for this guy. I'm curious to see you he would look in three dimensions.
Aw shucks, thanks for the encouragement. Y'know, I've never done turnarounds on him and I really need to (with and without the cape- which I added so I wouldn't have to draw those tubes all the time). I think I'll put that on the "to do" list for when I get some free time again.
Man, I wish I could post some of the other designs from the book- these are SO the tip of the iceberg...

Kinda creepy.
Kinda creepy.
Love the tubes. Reminds me of an old Kirby character.
Thanks! The character's supposed to originate from the late 50s/ early 60s, so there's definitely an intent to make him look subtlely Wally Wood / Jack Kirby-ish. Mission accomplished, I guess.
neat design. i like it. especially the way to enhance depth by lowering the outlines' contrast. i have seen you using this technique in scenes before, but never in a character design. but it works nicely.
Just curious, but was the interior inspired by that glowing column in the TARDIS?

Essay - Multidimensional Model of Sport Leadership Introduction Effective Leaders Manage the...
Multidimensional Model of Sport Leadership
Effective leaders manage the majority of successful organizations or teams, athletic or otherwise. A leader may be an expert, a supervis*****, ***** respected person, someone who controls aversive power or someone that has the capacity to dispense rewards (Ryan, 1982). ***** leader ***** possess have one ***** more of these characteristics, depending on the individual.
In addition ***** *****hip characteristics, *****s may also differ in *****ir leadership styles (p. 32). For example, a directive or possessive style of leadership means ***** the leader takes complete charge of the team, closely monitoring athlete behavior and performance. A permissive style of coach ***** leave much of the responsibility to the athletes ***** spend ***** time on the critical issues.
Chelladurai (1993) proposed a normative model ***** decision styles (autocratic, participative, and delegating) in coaching (Butler, 1996). A casual observer of the dynamics on a typical competitive sport team would conclude that coaches make all decisions and take all ***** the blame for failure. Athletes on ***** other hand, like to concentrate on their resp*****sibilities as players and prefer not to be involved in *****.
The concept of leadership has gained a large amount of attention in recent years, as sports have ********** in popularity and researchers have placed an emphasis on determining the relationship between leaders, ***** and per*****mance.
Multidimensional Model of ***** Leadership
According to the Multidimensional Model ***** Sport *****, optimal performance & satisfaction are achieved when leader's required, *****red & actual behaviors are consistent. The model holds that effective *****hip varies depending on the specific situati*****, leader ***** team (Chelladurai, 2001, p. 194-197)
***** model introduces three key terms:
Required leader behavior-- behaviors demanded by the situation (goals, norms, values, etc.).
Preferred ***** behavior-- leader behaviors preferred ***** group, organization, *****.
Actual leader behavior-- behaviors the ***** exhibits.
As a direct consequence of leadership, three things are affected:
Satisfaction—When coaching style and ***** match the preferences of the athlete, greater satisfaction is the result.
Cohesion—A democratic *****, social support and positive feedback all result in greater cohesion.
Performance - Greater social support results ***** poorer performing teams.
Additional Research
As a result ***** Chelladurai's research, many studies have been conducted to try ***** develop or expand ***** knowledge of the topic.
One such study analyzed the differences between the offensive and defensive *****nel of ***** teams in ***** leadership, perceived *****, ***** satisfaction with leadership, as well as ***** relationships among preferred and perceived *****, their congruence, ***** ***** with leadership (Chelladurai, 1995). The ***** of this study showed that defensive players preferred m*****e democratic behavior, autocratic behavior, and social support than offensive players.
In addition, the similarity between preferred ***** perceived leadership in ***** measurement of social support was important in enhancing member satisfaction. On the o*****r *****, perceived ***** in training and instruction, in addition to ***** feedback, were more important factors of ***** with leadership than either the preferred leadership or the congruence of preferred and perceived leadership in *****se

LONDON Dozens of people wearing balaclavas rallied outside the Russian embassy in London on Friday in support of the Russian feminist punk band Pussy Riot, just a day after activists hurled rocks at the building protesting Moscow's position on Syria.
The Russian embassy, in an upmarket part of central London, has seen many protests outside its iron gates in recent months by activists angry at Moscow's stance on a number of diplomatic issues as well as a political crackdown inside the country.
Wearing face masks, the crowd of about 40 people chanted "I say Pussy, you say Riot" outside the embassy just as three women from Pussy Riot were sentenced to two years in jail for their protest against President Vladimir Putin in a church.
"Russia is turning into a backward society," said Lisa Gornik, one of the protesters.
"I used to really love Russia, I studied Russian literature. It was all about freedom of Russia, beautiful sentiments of (Russian novelists) Tolstoy, Dostoyevsky. They must be turning in their graves now, thinking what has Russia become."
Hours earlier, protesters chanting slogans against Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, who enjoys Russia's support in his standoff with rebel forces and the West, attacked the embassy overnight, throwing stones and smashing windows.
"The police who arrived at the scene regretfully did not take any measures to stop the unsanctioned protest and detain the attackers," said an embassy spokesman. No one was hurt.
"This is not the first case of vandalism against the Russian Embassy in London this year," it said separately in a statement. "We view the incident as a new case of violation of the principle of inviolability of diplomatic missions in London.
The embassy said the attack caused significant damage to the building and posted pictures of broken windows and large rocks scattered on the floor on its Facebook social media page.
Moscow's support for Syria's government has been criticized by protest groups since the uprising began in March 2011. Russia and China have vetoed three Western-backed resolutions criticizing Damascus and threatening sanctions.
Police said an investigation was underway but noted people in London were free to rally to express their views.
"The UK has a strong democratic tradition of allowing people to express their views and protest," police said in a statement.
"As one of the most diverse capitals in the world, with embassies and organizations from across the world represented here, protests and demonstrations take place in London every day."
Britain's relations with Russia have been sour since the 2006 murder in London of Kremlin critic Alexander Litvinenko, a former Russian spy who died from poisoning by radioactive polonium-210.

(WMOT) -- Tennessee may not have Florida's sandy beaches or Arizona's Grand Canyon scenery, but it turns out the state isn't a bad place to retire. WMOT reporting partner Wallethub.com recently analyzed 24 metrics to rank the nation's 150 most retirement friendly cities. Nashville made the list at position 25. Knoxville and Chattanooga also ranked above average. AAA says Tennessee Labor Day travel will reach pre-recession levels By Mike Osborne • Aug 27, 2015 DOT.GOV MURFREESBORO, Tenn.

The agency says it expects 35. 5 million Americans to hit the nation's roads for the long holiday weekend that begins next Thursday. AAA says there haven't been that many Labor Day travelers on the move since 2008. AAA spokesperson Stephanie Milani says Tennessee's roadways are going to be crowded. State benefits for workers displaced by foreign imports By Mike Osborne • Aug 12, 2015 tn.gov MURFREESBORO, Tenn. (WMOT) -- Here's a heads up for Tennesseans who may have lost a job to foreign competition: The state is offering an array of services to workers displaced by foreign imports. Workers laid off through no fault of their own may be eligible for job training, job search help, relocation allowances, and perhaps even special unemployment benefits. Robin Wright with the Tennessee Department of Labor says workers displaced years ago due to foreign imports, might still be eligible for assistance. AAA says gas prices will likely continue to fall a few more weeks By Mike Osborne • Aug 10, 2015 AAA MURFREESBORO, Tenn.

E.D. White Catholic continues its winning ways
Published: Thursday, October 7, 2010 at 10:00 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, October 7, 2010 at 10:33 a.m.
THIBODAUX — As E.D. White Catholic's District 3-III opener next week approaches, the Lady Cardinals are winding down one of the state's most difficult nondistrict schedules.
And Coach Mary Cavell wouldn't have it any other way.
The Division III Lady Cardinals rolled past Division IV Catholic of New Iberia, 25-21, 25-23, 25-16, on Wednesday.
The win improved the Lady Cardinals to 16-6 overall and dropped Catholic to 28-3.
Cavell said her team's slate of matches against some of the state's top Division I teams was a key factor in Wednesday's win.
"It makes you mentally tough, if you handle it right," Cavell said of the schedule. "That's what I kept trying to tell the girls. We're not going to face a Dominican or a Mount Carmel or a Fountainebleau in our division, and if we can hang with that type of caliber ball club, we'll be where we want to be at the end."
Against the Lady Panthers, E.D. White won each game in a variety of ways.
In Game 1, E.D. White led 10-8, but pulled away to take a commanding 22-11 lead. Catholic closed the gap with a 7-0 run, but couldn't overcome the 11-point deficit, and the game ended on a Catholic serving error.
In Game 2, the Lady Cardinals took a commanding lead from the start, rallying on Emily Albert's serve to take a 6-0 lead that ballooned into an 11-2 advantage. During the rally, Abby Filce contributed two of her game-high 11 kills.
Catholic again had an answer, fighting back into the game to pull within a point, 21-20, on Courtney Molbert's ace.
The Lady Panthers tied it at 23 on a lifting violation against E.D. White, the Lady Cardinals closed it out via a Lady Panthers attacking error and an ace from Albert.
Catholic carried its Game 2 momentum into Game 3, storming to a 6-2 lead early. But E.D. White rallied back, tying the game at 14 before outscoring the Lady Panthers 11-2 for a 25-16 win.
Andree Waguespack's kill ended the game. Waguespack finished the match with eight kills.
"We just kind of fell apart and didn't play well as a team that third game," Catholic coach Jessica Frederick said. "We started off that third game real strong. A couple errors and we kind of relaxed too much. When we go up against some of these teams, we've got to start hitting harder out of the gate. If we don't do that, we're not going to spread their defense out and make them wonder who's going to be hitting it."
Filce led the Lady Cardinals with her 11 kills and four blocks. Other leaders were Jessica Cedotal (23 assists, two aces), Albert (three blocks, two aces), Caroline Robichaux (seven digs) and Whitney Babin (three blocks).
Leaders for Catholic were Taylor Lahasky (nine kills, 14 digs), Mary Frances Hoag (six kills) and Abigail Henegan (31 digs).
At Bourg, the Lady Mustangs rolled to a 25-8, 25-5, 25-6 win over District 5-II rival South Terrebonne.
Leaders for Assumption (16-7 overall, 3-0 in district) were Erineka Mollere (12 kills, two aces, six digs), Paula Breaux (15 kills), Jessica Simoneaux (six kills, 20 assists, three aces), Dashia Myles (five aces, six digs) and Jasmine Knight (four kills and aces each).
Leaders for South Terrebonne (12-l1, 1-2) were Blare Pellegrin (two kills, a block), Catherine Broussard (two kills) and Monique Verdin (three assists).

Hi, I am working on a child theme for the twentyeleven theme for my website maxdrach.com
Everything was working fine, except I accidentally used the wordpress dashboard to change the background color. It seems to have added some code to the html document (or php, wherever it is stored) that changes the background color, overriding my child theme.
In firebug, it looks like an extra style sheet called "inline" under maxdrach.com/
In the html, it is inline style code at the very end of the header that looks like this:
body.custom-background {
background-color: #0DB306;
Why did it do this and how do I get rid of this?
It was working fine before, so I want to just undo this. My website is http://www.maxdrach.com

I am interested in developing new ways of testing grammatical hypotheses by integrating them into "larger-scale" theories of things like language processing or language acquisition. The two papers below provided most of the raw ingredients for my current thinking on this topic. The way I envisage putting the pieces together was presented in my course at ESSLLI in 2015, and I have an in-progress manuscript on this too; email me if you are interested.
My theoretical work has recently veered, somewhat unexpectedly, in the direction of ellipsis (as seems to happen for many people at one point or another). One interesting common thread to the discoveries in both of the papers below is that they involve sluicing-like constructions that are sensitive to quite global properties of the antecedent of ellipsis, not just the immediate local surroundings of the remnant phrase.
My starting point for this line of research was an interest in the argument/adjunct distinction and the extent to which explanations for puzzling syntactic patterns might derive from the ways arguments and adjuncts contribute to neo-Davidsonian logical forms. This was the focus of my dissertation. The system I developed there turns out to make interesting connections with other topics such as remnant movement, redundancies between merge and move, and extraposition.
Along with Paul Pietroski, Jeff Lidz, and Justin Halberda, I'm studying the semantics of quantificational words like 'most'. Based on careful consideration of how linguistic meaning interacts with other cognitive systems (e.g. psychology of number, visual perception), results of our studies indicate that linguistic meaning is not entirely divorced from verification procedures in the way that is implicitly assumed by much standard practice in semantics.
I've also done some experiments, with Jeff Lidz and others, looking at four- and five-year-olds' learning of determiner meanings. The aim of this work is to see how closely the learner's hypothesis space of available determiner meanings reflects existing typological generalisations, such as the restriction to conservative determiner meanings.
I'm originally from Sydney, Australia but moved to the US for graduate school in 2005. As an undergraduate I studied mainly computer science and French, but towards the end I became more interested in linguistics.
In Sydney I studied at the University of New South Wales from 2000-2004, mainly in the School of Computer Science and Engineering (where I also did some teaching) and the French and Linguistics departments. Most of my involvement with linguistics was with Mengistu Amberber. I also spent a semester on exchange at Ecole des Mines d'Ales, France, in 2002-03.
In my spare time I was what's known in Australia as a "cricket tragic" (a fanatical follower of the game) and also a founding member of the STALW indoor cricket team. I still generally make it back to Sydney for the annual Test match in January, but in between my cricket exposure is sadly fairly sparse.
In my not-so-spare time I was a proud member of the small software development team at Brain Juice.
If you would like a one-minute introduction to Australia, have a look at this (although we don't actually drink that stuff).

In the US, one can request that the university from which one graduated to send copies of one's transcript to other universities (graduate admissions) or prospective employers. I would like to know what is the provision in the Netherlands, if one needs to send a copy of one's transcript to the university in the US.
The best thing to do is probably to contact the student administration of your university. They can make certified copies of your diploma (and presumably also grade transcripts, etc.). You can also contact the Dienst Uitvoering Onderwijs at http://www.duo.nl/, which are also authorised to make certified copies.
However, it may be that "ordinary" photocopies suffice, if you tell them that you can show the originals later if necessary. You would have to check with the admissions office though, I do not know about the situation in the US.

Saskatoon Exhibition (2012)
I used to love going to the Ex, Saskatoon's annual fair. The year these photos were taken, we lived much closer to Prairieland Park – close enough to get residential parking passes. Also close enough to watch the nightly fireworks display from the front porch. And, since I was working at the racetrack that summer, I had an all-access pass. It was also the year I tried out the Zipper – I'm pretty sure I'll be content with the swings next year.
We still live on the south side of Saskatoon, but we aren't close enough to see the fireworks any more.

In 2007 I had a summer job as a groom at Marquis Downs. It was an eye-opening experience – I understand ex-racehorses much better now. These photos were shot with my first DSLR camera, an old Pentax, which gave the photos a gritty, grainy feel that I liked very much. I've gone back and photographed at the track many times since then, but have never quite been able to capture the same feel as in 2007.

Juncker Says Greece Shouldn't Remain in Euro 'at All Costs'
Luxembourg Prime Minister Jean-Claude Juncker said euro-region governments want Greece to remain a member of the currency bloc, though not at all costs.
"Greece on Dec. 4, that's when the referendum will take place, has to deal with the question whether it wants to stay in the euro zone," Juncker said today on ZDF German television. "We would like Greece to remain a member but we're not saying Greece has to stay a member at all costs."
European leaders for the first time are raising the specter of the euro area splintering, choosing to treat Greece's referendum on the terms of a bailout package as an in-or-out vote on the debt-stricken nation's future in the currency union. Led by Germany and France, the guardians of the euro yesterday cut off financial aid for Greece until the ballot determines whether it deserves a fresh batch of loans needed to stave off default.
Juncker, who also chairs meetings of euro-region finance ministers, said Europe can't be forced to "ride a permanent roller coaster with Greece."
"We need to know where we're headed and the Greeks need to tell us where they want to go," he said. "I'm decidedly of the opinion that everything must be done to prevent one euro member unlatching itself from the chain, but if that were the wish of the Greeks, and I feel it would be wrong if that was their desire, then we can't force them to their happiness."
Authorities are "absolutely prepared" for the possibility of Greece leaving the 17-member currency union and looking at ways to ensure that this can be done without harm for the region as a whole, according to Juncker.
"It's not only about Greece, it's also about possible contagion dangers for others and we'll do everything -- also on the occasion of the euro group meeting next Monday -- to build firewalls," he said.

Product Description
Charles Darwin realized that the fossil evidence did not support his theory of gradual, step-by-step evolutionary development. He hoped that future generations of scientists would make the discoveries necessary to validate his ideas.
Today, after more than 150 years of exploration fossil evidence of slow, incremental biological change has yet to be excavated. Instead, we find a picture of the rapid appearance of fully developed, complex organisms during the outset of the Cambrian geological era. Organisms that embody the major animal body plans that exist today. This remarkable explosion of life is truly Darwin's Dilemma. Approximately 70 minutes on DVD.

Renee Mertens5 Stars Out Of 5October 9, 2009Renee MertensThis movie is the third in the trilogy/series on Intelligent Design from Randoff Productions/Illistra Media released on 9/15/09.

Renee5 Stars Out Of 5October 5, 2009ReneeThis video is top quality in animation and documentary of sciencetific facts. It discredits the indocrination of our society and students in the public arena, who are being brain washed with outdated teaching.

The sneaky "drive-by download" known as Sinowal has been, uh, credited with stealing more than 500,000 bank-account passwords, credit-card numbers, and other sensitive financial information.
This exploit has foiled antivirus software manufacturers time and again over the years, and it provides us in real time a look at the future of Windows infections.
Imagine a very clever keylogger sitting on your system, watching unobtrusively as you type, kicking in and recording your keystrokes only when you visit one of 2,700 sensitive sites. The list is controlled by the malware's creators and includes many of the world's most popular banking and investment services.
That's Sinowal, a super-Trojan that uses a technique called HTML injection to put ersatz information on your browser's screen. The bad info prompts you to type an account number and/or a password. Of course, Sinowal gathers all the information and sends it back home — over a fancy, secure, encrypted connection, no less.
Washington Post journalist Brian Krebs wrote the definitive overview of Sinowal's criminal tendencies in his Oct. 31, 2008, column titled "Virtual Heist Nets 500,000+ Bank, Credit Accounts" — a headline that's hard to ignore. Krebs cites a detailed analysis by RSA's FraudAction Research Lab: "One Sinowal Trojan + One Gang = Hundreds of Thousands of Compromised Accounts."

And what Lewis Hamilton made of it all: Hungary for more: Hamilton gets pole on track and negotiating table
It's time for #Martinsgridwalk - he starts off by pointing to a huge crack in the track. Good time filler!
Weather watch
There has been a threat of rain, which is thought to be coming along after the race, but it's hot in the meantime. That'll play nicely into the hands of McLaren.
McLaren's 150th pole position - team members pick their favourite moments
Here are some wonderful quotes from McLaren's bosses about their first Grand Prix moments as the team celebrate their 150th pole position.

Picture perfect
As always, there has been some wonderful photography across the race weekend - here are just a few of the best images:
Uh oh!
Sauber F1 Team @OfficialSF1Team Due to changeable weather conditions on Friday we have no experience with how the tyres behave on high fuel load and long distances...
Weather watch:
Scuderia Ferrari @InsideFerrari It is really hot today, hotter than yesterday...No threat of rain at all at the moment...
Just five minutes to go until the beginning of the race now - McLaren will be hoping it stays warm. Lewis Hamilton has been in imperious form this weekend. It'll take some stopping him.
One last story to view before the race - Jenson Button on Lewis Hamilton's contract discussions:
'This place is like home to Lewis': Jenson Button urges teammate Hamilton to stay at McLaren
Top ten grid line-up:
1 Lewis Hamilton (Gbr) McLaren 1min 20.953secs
2 Romain Grosjean (Fra) Lotus F1 Team 1:21.366
3 Sebastian Vettel (Ger) Red Bull 1:21.416
4 Jenson Button (Gbr) McLaren 1:21.583

9 Bruno Senna (Bra) Williams 1:22.343
10 Nico Hulkenberg (Ger) Force India 1:22.847
Tony Fernandes @tonyfernandes Worse thing about being involved in sport is not being there. Would love to be in hungary. Good luck to all in caterham F1
And they're off for the formation lap - it's a long way down to the first corner. Should be a cracking opening.
And they're not off - yet anyway - as the start was aborted. The Mercedes of Michael Schumacher was stuck on the grid, so the cars will go around again.
Lewis Hamilton pulls away, but the action is behind. Vettel tries passing Grosjean - and nearly does - but Jenson Button takes advantage to take third.
Byron Young @byronf1 Button jumps Vettel for third. Flier for McLaren off the blocks. Truly Olympic :)
Hamilton is already 1.4 seconds ahead of Grosjean in second, with Jenson Button a further 0.9 seconds back in third.
Terrific start for Mark Webber, who is already up to 7th.
Hamilton is pulling away very quickly - now 2.1 seconds ahead in the lead. Puts in a fastest lap by 0.6 seconds to the next quickest man.
1) Hamilton
2) Grosjean
3) Button
4) Vettel
5) Alonso
6) Raikkonen
7) Webber
8) Senna
9) Massa
10) Hulkenberg

Ron Johnson's favorite work is "sustainable". Every time he says "sustainable" take a drink.Hide replies
Did you see the old SNL skit with Steve Martin playing a guy on a game show and he's the president of the romaine lettuce growers association? He answers every question with "romaine lettuce". Sounds familiar.
Ok - you lost on the Healthcare effort. Nice try - now you can quit and feel fulfilled.
Well, that explains a lot, Senator Sunspot!!
It's so refreshing to see the new (R)s embrace atheist philosophers.Hide replies
How is it that Republicans can be attacked for embracing the thoughts of someone who happens to be an atheist, and be attacked for embracing Christian values too much - at the same time? Meanwhile, Democrats can do whatever they want, embrace whatever they want, espouse no values or pick and choose, and you don't care. This is so typical.
Here is the way liberals develop criticism: Decide someone is wrong, then determine what it is they are wrong about today, regardless of whether you contradict what you criticized them for yesterday.
Democrats don't wear religion on their sleeves. Republicans constantly tell you how holy they are and then fail spectacularly at even the basics . Democrats don't have to criticize them the Republicans keep shooting themselves in the foot. My particular favorite is hiking the Appalachian Trail.
"who happens to be an atheist"
Have you not read any Ayn Rand?
Wissota - Not so much they embrace an atheist, it's that they embrace a ridiculous, pedantic, verbose, tawdry romance novelist as their philosophical hero.
They get an F on taste level, alone.
Wissota, I'd agree that there is MUCH more variation in policy positions held by Democrats of different stripes. With (R)s, one toe over the line and you're a RINO. (D)s are much more accepting of dissent, willing to negotiate and reach compromise. However, should any (D) SAY one thing and ACT another, they are just as open to criticism than any (R). Given our freedom to act contrarily however, there's far less incentive to act hypocritically. Perhaps that's why you see it less.
And yes, I definitely recommend you read Rand. Her idea of Utopia is a moral and spiritual wasteland which most rank and file (R)s would find truly reprehensible. When your side's vision becomes reality and the top 1% claims an even greater portion of the pie, you won't be able to claim you weren't warned. It's right there in the literature they've been flaunting but you never bothered to read.
The problem is the hypocrisy of it. Tea Party calls anyone who does not agree to inserting Christianity into all facets of government a "human secularist" and calls liberal atheists sinners. Yet, it is perfectly OK to worship an immoral atheist who writes fiction glorifying a utopia of an "everyone for themselves" world? Then again, the Tea Party is full of hypocrisy (i.e. "pro-life" but also pro death penalty).
Cuz Democrats don't go around proclaiming that GOP=GOD like Republicans do. Don't be proclaiming to be a follower of Christ while basing your political values on a work of FICTION wrttten by an atheist.
No one expects him to give up. He will continue to make a fool of himself and the people who voted for him until the next election.
Our Dumb Senator is dumber than I thought, if that's possible. Mr. Dumb Senator is a selfish, greedy, egoist. Please resign so we can elect someone who cares about middle class Wisconsin citizens.Hide replies
What puzzles me is how on earth this boob beat Feingold!
I wonder if he and Ryan exchange knowing glances and the secret handshake when they see each other.
Good God, man! Your personal philosophy is based on a work of FICTION?!? What an uneducated man, unworthy of the position of Senator. And you DO know that Ayn Rand ended up TAKING all the government freebies she could get her little Socialist hands on? What is WRONG with you (mo)Ron? A disgrace to Wisconsin.Hide replies
Shoot the messenger Ayn Rand. Miss the Objectivist movement that predated and survives Rand and includes the Randian Objectivists.
So, FooFoNaught, what do you think of strict construction of our Constitution of the United States. I think you are an un-read dumb bass.
The Constitution Party represents conservative Americans. MOLON LABR Fly Lord
Can't get my head around these guys imitating and admiring an atheist and the religious right's support for them. Are they that gullible and blind or are they all a bunch of liars. Ok the Republicans have proven they are the party of guns but seem pretty far away from God--you know the Guy that preached you must give the shirt off your back to the poor (Good. Samaritan) and share all you have ( Sermon on the Mount) and family including supporting cutting healthcare for poor kids, funds for education, and Worker's Comp benefits when you are injured at work. Just shaking my head at this foolishness.

May 9, 2014 by David A. Brown
Like anyone else who's played the game, bass fishing great Jimmy Houston has seen plenty of fish come unhooked, parted ways with a bunch of hung baits and lost some close tournaments. That stuff happens, but throughout nearly half a century in the fishing industry, there are two things the Chevy-sponsored Walmart FLW Tour pro from Oklahoma has not lost: his appreciation for a gilded career and the humble beginnings from which it emerged.
Houston's career accomplishments on the tournament stage and TV screen are well-documented. Before the Jimmy Houston the world now knows existed, however, there was Jimmy Houston the penny-pinching young angler trying to make ends meet in his quest to succeed in tournaments long before the term "professional fisherman" even existed.
He opened up to FLW recently about what it was like in the early days, and how he came to be the Jimmy Houston that fishing fans so adore today.
A rough road
Houston grew up in Moore, Okla., a classic rendition of Smalltown, USA, before moving to Lake Tenkiller near Cookson, Okla., in his senior year of high school.
The tournament bug bit Houston soon after he arrived in Cookson, while he watched the top national anglers compete in the World Series of Sport Fishing on Tenkiller, where his dad had a lodge. While fishing with some of the competitors during their practice, the young Houston came to appreciate a skill that would become his signature trait.
"One of the things that I noticed was how well those guys could cast," he said. "That's always been my strongest suit - casting accuracy."
After high school, Houston went on to college at Northeastern State University. Majoring in political science and economics, he graduated in 1966, and shortly thereafter financed his tournament career through the insurance agency that he launched with wife, Chris, who is now a bass fishing Hall-of-Famer too.
Back then, times were lean. PB&J was fine dining. Eating out was a luxury the Houstons couldn't afford.
"We nearly starved to death," Jimmy recalled. "There was a time when we went a month without eating anything but what I had caught or shot."
Tournament travel was decidedly non-glamorous back then too. Today, nicer hotels are the norm, and Chevy keeps Jimmy rolling in comfort. That was not always the case. Driving all night and sleeping at boat ramps was common - and even that routine had its share of bumps.
"There were times where I had to win some money in a tournament just to get back home," he said. "There were plenty of times I was pulled over to the side of the road working on my truck because I couldn't afford to take it to a mechanic. I once had to call an auto supply store owner at midnight to come down and sell me an alternator so I could get back on the road."
Picking up steam
Houston's first major tournament wins were the 1966 Oklahoma State Championship when he was a senior in college and an early Project Sports, Inc. (PSI) year-end championship (Classic) on Lake Amistad. Tournament earnings then were a far cry from today's payouts. Houston earned $6,000 for his first national win.
Sponsorships also promised meager support. His first promotional gig: a handful of free Mr. Twister worms and a request to try 'em out.
But the promotional side of Houston's career slowly began to take form in the early years. He supplemented his income with the Jimmy Houston Redman spinnerbaits that he built in the back room of his agency. A personal friendship with another Oklahoman, Sam Walton, got his baits into the future retail giant Walmart.
"It's funny, now there are quite a few products with my name and picture on the package in Walmarts," Jimmy said.
Unquestionably, a national media platform played the biggest role in propelling Jimmy to legitimate stardom and making his a household name.
"Probably the real turning point in my career was when we started the television show ["Jimmy Houston Outdoors'] in 1977," Houston said.
Since then, Houston's successes have been many. He's fished 15 Bassmaster Classics, won the 1976 and 1986 B.A.S.S Angler of the Year titles, collected more than $1 million in career earnings, spent more than three decades on television, and is still one of the most popular anglers on the Walmart FLW Tour. All that while authoring several books, managing a burgeoning business and raising a son, Jamie, and daughter, Sherri.
Of his place in bass-fishing history, Houston says: "I've always felt that the game was much, much larger than I was, and I've always tried to put the game's interest ahead of mine. The game will continue on after all the stars have gone, as long as the important players put the game ahead of their own interests."
So, Mr. Houston, what keeps you coming back for more?
"One of the reasons I keep fishing now at 69 is to pay the game back for how good it's been to me all these years," he said. "The sponsorships we have now are something we could only dream of back in the early years."
Solidifying his legacy
Through the years, perseverance, commitment to a vision and that pleasantly infectious charm enabled Jimmy to build the momentum that has created one of the industry's most enduring and endearing personalities.
He's quick to note the many friends who've helped and encouraged him along the way. A "people person," Jimmy also appreciates the public at large and enjoys the adulation he receives. Watch him at the outdoor shows and you'll see fan after fan receive the same level of warmth and genuine courtesy from one of the outdoor industry's true superstars.
"I think the most important thing is to learn to treat everyone special," Jimmy said. "It doesn't cost any money to be nice to someone. When we have autograph lines for hours, we treat every one of them special because they are."
And that's why they love him.

People parked at Southern Park Mall, in parking lots along Southern Boulevard, and in the yards of enterprising home-owners who charged for the privilege, then joined the crowd in Boardman Park.
They were there Sunday to check out the offerings of more than 150 vendors participating in the Rotary Club of Boardman's 37th annual Oktoberfestival.
They had a variety of items to choose from, including jewelry, fudge, fall d cor, handbags and more. Food such as fish and chips, stromboli, elephant ears and apple dumplings also was available. Included was a nonprofit area where organizations such as Angels for Animals, the Potential Development Program and Westside Cats could share information about what they do.
Patti Boarm, Darlene Burdess, Lisa Conkle and Peggy Skelton attend the Oktoberfestival annually. It was a tradition for the four East Liverpool sisters and their mother, Peggy Johnson. Johnson died last year, and the sisters knew they had to continue the tradition without her.
"We wanted to carry on," Boarm said. "She would want that. She loved this. She loved us all getting together."
Most years, the sisters aren't looking for particular items.
"We just look around," Boarm said.
Burdess said they often find Christmas gifts at the event. This year, she found personalized items for the people on her list.
"Whatever we find to buy, we buy," Burdess said.
They found enough to buy that two of the sisters made the trek back to the car with their purchases.
Kim Culver of New Middletown has participated as a vendor for about five years. She makes handcrafted, papier mache items and incorporates them into decorative items such as wreaths. She concentrates on fall and winter pieces.
"I enjoy what I do," she said.
She also enjoys the Oktoberfestival.
"It's just a nice crowd, and I meet people," she said.
It's a lot of work to get the booth set up, she said, but it's worth it.
Admission to the event was $3. Rotary also sold coffee and baked goods to raise additional funds.
Net proceeds from the event are used to fund community and international service projects.
The club has donated nearly $100,000 over the past two years.
Oktoberfest was a wonderful event. But of all the great groups there, why on earth would your article single out West Side Cats??? The place was raided three years ago, the animals are just thrown in rooms and left to die. They drag the poor crippled cat out just to make money. Why hasn't someone taken that poor cat out of the shelter yet? It needs more care than any shelter can offer. Why anyone thinks this is ok, is beyond me. You would not drag a crippled child around like a circus sideshow to try to get it adopted.
If Kimm cared so much about that cat, she would adopt it and take it home.
By the way, the donation jar is Kimm's personal spending money. Do not give her a cent. The cats never see the donations.

Young & Smylie confectionery firm is established. The company later became Y&S Candies, Inc. which eventually came up with a brilliant twist on confectionery candy: TWIZZLERS candies. Also in 1845, rubber bands were invented and Edgar Allan Poe's "The Raven" was published for the first time. We think Poe would prefer the black licorice flavor over strawberry.
Millard Fillmore, 13th U.S. President, keeps secret supply of licorice whips in Oval Office. Is this the origin of phrase "political party whip"? Why are we the ones to ask history's most pressing questions?
Y&S Candies, Inc. is adopted as the company trademark.
National Licorice Company is established with the merger of Young & Smylie, S.V. & F.P. Schudder and H.W. Petherbridge.
National Licorice Company is renamed Y&S Candies, Inc.
After his "giant leap for mankind" statement, Apollo 11 astronaut Neil Armstrong is rumored to have made lesser-known second remark on the moon: "I could go for some TWIZZLERS right now." It's suspected that Buzz Aldrin ate them in orbit.
Another landmark year: Y&S Candies Inc. acquired by Hershey Foods Corporation. That leads to a brave new world for candy lovers: new flavors and new ways to enjoy TWIZZLERS candies.
America enjoys new workout routine as Hershey Foods Corporation introduces TWIZZLERS PULL 'N' PEEL candy. Very little pulling effort yields big rewards.
TWIZZLERS Candy makes the Guinness World Record. Y&S Candy Plant in Lancaster, Pennsylvania responsible for longest licorice ever made at 1,200 feet and 100 pounds.
Y2K "end of civilization" fears ungrounded. Large stashes of TWIZZLERS candies hidden away for emergencies are consumed. Reports indicate TWIZZLERS Candy frenzy in Times Square outdraws New Year's Eve crowd.
TWIZZLERS Candy "Makes Mouths Happy" Ad airs on TV.
Candy lovers now see the world through multi-colored glasses with the introduction of TWIZZLERS RAINBOW TWIST candy.
Proof that opposites definitely attract: TWIZZLERS SWEET & SOUR FILLED TWISTS bursts onto the scene and history is re-written with a twist.
We refreshed our star attraction with a summer favorite and made TWIZZLERS Strawberry Lemonade Filled Twists, then came up with TWIZZLERS PULL 'N' PEEL Fruit Punch Candy with more flavors than ever!

Hey everyone... I need some help picking out my first deer (whitetail only) rifle... although I'm 99% sure I'm going with the Ruger m77 all-weather (synthetic stock, etc). I just can't decide on a .243 or .25-06.
I'll be using this to shoot whitetail, and please don't tell me that a .243 or .25-06 is not powerful enough! I have two buddies that have the same gun, chambered in each of these - and they have killed plenty of whitetail with them both!
Alright, so I've shot the m77 in .243 and .25-06... and I couldn't tell a difference. One buddy swears by the .243 and the other by the .25-06.
What are your thoughts? Which one is more effective for whitetail, and why??
Also, I'm going to purchase a scope for this rifle. I'm really looking at the Zeiss 3-9x40 Conquest. In my (limited) experience, 3-9 is good for whitetail hunting. Correct? It's about $400 shipped, but I know Zeiss lenses are top quality.
Does anyone have any experience with this rifle scope? I assume a 40 will fit on a Ruger m77? I guess I could buy it, try it, and if not... wait until I get another gun (later)!
PLEASE share some of your knowledge. I'm some-what new to whitetail and I want to get ready for Dec. '08!

SAN ANTONIO, DECEMBER 8, 2007 – The 2007 Valero Alamo Bowl featuring Penn State and Texas A&M is a sellout as a crowd in excess of the Alamodome's 65,000-seat capacity will attend the December 29 contest.
"The 2007 Valero Alamo Bowl match-up between Penn State and Texas A&M equaled the demand we had for last year's Texas vs. Iowa match-up that ended up as the largest sports attendance in Alamodome history," said John Yantis, 2007 Valero Alamo Bowl Chairman. "Our thanks go to these two universities and their tremendous fan bases. We're looking forward to welcoming these loyal fans to the Riverwalk later this month to enjoy our world-renowned San Antonio hospitality as we celebrate the game's 15th anniversary."
This is the Valero Alamo Bowl's fourth sellout in the last six years and the sixth in the 15-year history of the game. The 2007 Valero Alamo Bowl is also the quickest sellout in the game's history surpassing the December 9 sellout last year and the December 11 sellout of the 1999 SYLVANIA Alamo Bowl that featured the two teams in this year's game (Penn State and Texas A&M).
With the addition of temporary seating and standing room only sales, the 2006 game reached a final attendance of 65,875 in the 65,000-seat Alamodome ranking it as the most attended game in Alamo Bowl history. The 1999 game had a final attendance of 65,380 that ranks #2 all-time.
"Last year, Alamo Bowl attendees were treated to a down-to-the-wire thriller between two of the nation's most storied programs in Texas and Iowa that ended the evening as the most-watched college football game in ESPN history," said Derrick Fox, Valero Alamo Bowl President/CEO. "This year, fans will see two more of the nation's top football programs in Penn State and Texas A&M while again being a part of one of the most-attended events in San Antonio sports history."
All Alamodome parking passes to this event have also been sold. Fans without parking passes are encouraged to arrive early and use downtown lots north of the stadium or take advantage of VIA Park-n-Ride. The roundtrip service will be offered for $6 from Crossroads Mall, Randolph Boulevard Park and Ride, South San Stadium and Blossom Athletic Center.
An estimated 34,000 fans from outside of San Antonio will attend this year's Valero Alamo Bowl resulting in a direct economic impact of $15 million.
For more information on the Valero Alamo Bowl and this year's events, please visit the Valero Alamo Bowl's award-winning web site at www.alamobowl.com courtesy of AT&T.
Media inquiries can be directed to Rick Hill at (210) 704-6388 or Lara Smedley at (210) 704-6389. To download the Valero Alamo Bowl logo, request a credential or view a tentative media schedule, please visit the Media Center section of the bowl's website at www.alamobowl.com.

An overnight standoff ended in Pearl with a man in custody.
A police SWAT team surrounded a house on Herrington Boulevard where police said Joe Carter had barricaded himself inside and threatened to commit suicide. A 2-year-old child was a sleep in a bedroom inside the house, but it was not clear if the child was related to Carter.
Once officers got inside the house, they arrested Carter. No one was injured.
Carter will undergo a mental evaluation and is expected to face charges, police said.

I have a Windows 7 x64 Enterprise system. I've installed Windows XP Mode, Windows Virtual PC, and the update. Everything was running fine for a time, nice integration and all that. I don't run the XP Mode VM all the time and eventually I launched it and it failed to log in to my domain. The nasty part is if I switch the network settings from "NAT" to my physical adapter it can contact my domain and log in. However, if I hibernate and launch again I have to switch the network settings back to be able to log in again.
So no matter what the network setting is on, NAT or Physical, on each launch I must switch it to the other one for it to be able to contact my domain and log in.
I do have VMWare Player and VirtualBox installed on this machine, but neither is running when I attempt to do this. I've installed all available updates and not sure what else to try. I recently uninstalled the Windows Virtual PC update, rebooted, reinstalled, rebooted and it has had no affect.

New York City Hotel Tips by sourbugger

He never stayed at his namesake
The 'Urban Cowboy' has become a fixture of New York in recent years. He stands around Times Square with his strategically placed guitar placed over his almost obscene white knickers.
The Carter hotel shares a number of characteristics with this street entertainer.
1) They are both licensed by New York City. The Carter claims to be an hotel, although many hotel reviewers would beg to differ.
2) They are both extremely kitsch. The lobby of the Crater is festooned with mirrors and strings of red lights that remind you of a terrible 1970?s disco palace where you half-expect to see a man in a white suit and medallion to saunter across the lobby singing ?you can tell by the way I walk that I?m a woman?s man?
3) They both extract relatively small amounts of money from tourists. Then again, where else could you reasonably expect to find a relatively cheap bed (it has 700+ rooms) in NYC, when everywhere else is full.
4) They both occupy a prime location. The hotel is in the heart of Broadway on 250 West 43rd Street
There are certainly very many negative hotel reviews about this place, but if you accept it is just a cheap lodging place in an excellent location then ?You pays your money and takes your choice?
Unique Qualities: Just expect a Black & White TV in the room on it?s last legs with virtually no reception, a bathroom with the odd tile or two cracked or missing and a bed that has seen more action than a Muhammad Ali fight.
On the upside the rooms are generally larger than the average, and generally free from infestation.
One final thought ? there is one major difference between the Urban Cowboy and the Carter. The Urban cowboy must receive regular maintenance in the gym to keep in tip-top shape, but the Carter hasn?t benefited from an ounce of maintenance since 1937.
Address: 250 West 43rd Street, , New York City, New York St
Price Comparison: least expensive

Wow - a swinging cat.
You may well of heard of the term 'not enough room to swing a cat', and in some places I've stayed in Hong Kong or Tokyo you could not even get a cat in the room with you...before you attempted to swing it.
This Comfort inn is certainly limited in space, but the rooms are ergonomically laid out to suit the sort of traveller who wants a decent night's sleep in a mid-range hotel without unnecessary frills.
The lack of space also applies to the breakfast room which is a little disappointing and the exercise room (or should I say kiosk) which if it held three people would probably consititute ground for a divorce settlement.
As the hotel is part of a chain it will also regularly turn up on Hotel discounting sites.
Unique Qualities: The location is on the other hand excellent, close to Central park, a Subway station, Museums and a lively area with good restaurants and bars nearby.
Staff were also friendly with nice little touches like humourous e-mails pinned up in the lift (elevator) at times.
