A party for gay men where the participants show off their "peacocks" in some way. Usually the men will dress with bright or shiny clothing near or on their cocks. Nudity may or may not be allowed or required.
Are you going to the peacock party tonight? I wanna see some huge packages, man.

Rickets is disease that affects the bones. It causes them to soften and weaken.
Rickets is caused by a vitamin D, calcium, or phosphorous shortage a child's body. This may occur when:
- The supply of vitamin D from diet or sun exposure is too low
- The way the body processes vitamin D is not typical
- Tissue does not respond to the action of vitamin D
- There is not enough calcium or phosphorous in the diet or it cannot be absorbed
Less often, rickets can be caused by other disorders that affect vitamin D absorption or calcium metabolism such as:
Kidney problems:
- A hereditary disorder of the kidney called vitamin D-resistant rickets
- Renal tubular acidosis—a non-hereditary kidney disorder that causes bone calcium to dissolve
- Chronic kidney failure
- Long-term kidney dialysis
- Malabsorption-related diseases of the small intestine
- Liver or pancreatic diseases
- Cancer
- Certain medications
- Poisoning from:
- Cadmium
- Lead
- Aluminum
- Outdated tetracycline
Risk Factors
Rickets is more common in children aged 6-24 months. It is also more common in children of African American descent.
Factors that may increase your child's chances of getting rickets include:
- Lack of sun exposure or having dark skin
- Babies who are breastfed—breast milk is low in vitamin D
- Babies who do not drink enough formula that is fortified with vitamin D
- Children who do not drink enough vitamin D-fortified milk
- Lactose intolerance with low intake of vitamin D-fortified milk
- Vegetarian diet
- Family history of rickets
- Certain chronic illnesses that result in loss of or poor absorption of calcium or phosphorous
- Drugs that affect vitamin D, calcium, or phosphorous
Symptoms may include:
- Muscle weakness
- Bow legs or knock knees
- Bone pain and tenderness
- Skeletal and/or skull deformities
- Deformity or curvature of the spine—scoliosis
- Pigeon chest—a chest that protrudes
- Dental deformities
- Delayed tooth formation
- Defects in teeth
- Loss of appetite or weight loss
- Difficulty sleeping
- Delayed walking
- Seizures
You will be asked about your child's symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done.
Your child's bodily fluids and bone may be tested. This can be done with:
- Blood tests
- Urine tests
- Bone biopsy
Pictures may be taken of structures inside your child's body. This can be done with an x-ray.
Treatment attempts to:
- Relieve or reverse symptoms and improve bone changes
- Correct the underlying cause
Treating Symptoms
Treatment to relieve or correct symptoms and bone changes:
- Involves biologically active vitamin D, calcium, and/or phosphate
- May include:
- Wearing braces to reduce or prevent bony deformities
- In severe cases, surgery to correct bony deformities
Treating the Underlying Cause
Treatment of the underlying cause may include:
Adding the following to your child's diet:
- Supplements of vitamin D, calcium, and other minerals
- Vitamin D-fortified dairy products
- Foods high in vitamin D, such as fatty fish, egg yolk, and green vegetables
- Foods high in calcium
- Adequate, but not excessive, exposure to sunlight
- Avoiding medication that may be causing poor calcium, phosphorous, or vitamin D absorption
- Treating underlying illnesses
To help reduce your child's chance of rickets:
- Drink vitamin D-fortified milk.
- Consume enough vitamin D, calcium, and other minerals. If you think your child's diet may be lacking, talk with the doctor about other sources of vitamins and minerals.
- Get sufficient, but not excessive, exposure to sunlight. Fifteen minutes a day is usually enough. Any longer than that requires sun protection with clothing or sunscreens, especially in fair-skinned infants and children. Children with dark skin are at increased risk for rickets and may need more sun exposure and dietary supplements with vitamin D.
- Breastfed babies and bottle-fed babies who do not get enough vitamin-D fortified formula may need to be given a supplement starting within the first few days of life. Talk to the doctor to make sure your child is meeting the nutritional requirements for vitamin D.

Dissociatives are a class of hallucinogen, which distort perceptions of sight and sound and produce feelings of detachment - dissociation - from the environment and self. This is done through reducing or blocking signals to the conscious mind from other parts of the brain. Although many kinds of drugs are capable of such action, dissociatives are unique in that they do so in such a way that they produce hallucinogenic effects, which may include sensory deprivation, dissociation, hallucinations, and dream-like states or trances. Some, which are nonselective in action and affect the dopamine and/or opioid. systems, may be capable of inducing euphoria. Many dissociatives have general depressant effects and can produce sedation, respiratory depressioncitation needed, analgesia, anesthesia, and ataxia, as well as cognitive and memory impairment and amnesia. These drugs include PCP aka Angel Dust, Ketamine aka Special K.
Oh man these Dissociatives , that PCP made me feel like mt body is 100 feet in front of me, I'm out of my body!

Staff report
The purchase of Twin Cities Memorial Gardens in West Monroe has been.
completed, and in the near future its name will be changed to Kilpatrick's
Serenity Gardens.
Laura Kilpatrick Marchelos, Kilpatrick Funeral Homes president, said
Monday the company has already met with architects and contractors to give "this
half-century old property a new and exciting face-lift which we will be
unveiling over the next 60 to 90 days."
The cemetery was placed in receivership by the state earlier this year
because of poor management by former owner Dannie Jackson. Mulhearn Funeral
Homes had been running the facility since the state's takeover. Mulhearn has its
own cemetery, Mulhearn Memorial Park Cemetery, east of Monroe.
The state Attorney General's Office, which represents the Louisiana
Cemetery Board, placed Twin Cities into receivership in January while
investigating complaints over the past several years about poor management and
perpetual care and merchandise trusts not being properly funded.
Following a state investigation, Jackson was indicted on 16 counts of
improper contract for taking money for headstones that he never installed. In
February, he pleaded no contest to one count of improper contract for failing to
put the money in a trust account as required by law.
Jackson has agreed to ensure that all trust funds be fully funded and
to provide a reserve account so Kilpatrick Funeral Homes can fund contracts of
families that have not been fulfilled.
Kilpatrick Funeral Homes operates businesses in Monroe, West Monroe,
Ruston and Farmerville.
"This has been a dream of ours to add a cemetery to
our existing business and to be able to do it where it will benefit the
community of West Monroe and Ouachita Parish. It is a perfect fit," Kilpatrick
Following a state attorney general investigation and an audit by Lucy
McCann of the Louisiana Cemetery Board and the Kilpatrick staff, Kilpatrick
Funeral Homes founder Tex Kilpatrick said "that everything is in order at this
He said those with questions should contact Kilpatrick's at 323-9614.
He said all records should be ready for review "within the next few
Marchelos said people driving by the cemetery will begin to notice
immediate enhancements such as a general cleanup, a new permanent office, new
signage, updated fencing, lighting and road improvements. "Further improvements
will become evident as we get closer to spring of 2009," she said

Yes, problem! I have Windows Vista and followed the instructions above. I clicked "Show hidden files and folders" then proceeded to uncheck "Hide protected operating system files (Recommended)". I received a Warning window stating: "You have chosen to display protected operating system files (files labeled System and Hidden in Windows Explorer. These files are required to start and run Windows. Deleting or editing them can make your computer inoperable. Are you sure you want to display these files?"
I will not follow through with this as I feel these instructions are bogus. If they were not, then I would not have received this warning.
Thanks but no thanks.

I can confirm the steps above are valid.
The warning happens when you deselect "Hide protected operating system files (Recommended)." It is just telling the user to be careful, because Windows needs these files to work properly. If you alter them, Windows might not work as expected... which is why they have been hidden by default.
When you show the protected files, they will appear dimmed in the Windows File Explorer to identify them. I am an advanced user of Windows XP and have displayed both hidden and protected files for close to 10 years without any issues.
Make sure to use caution when you copy, delete, etc. files, and if you accidentally make your RECYCLER folder "read-only," it will immediately remove any files deleted on that drive when you choose to delete them - it will not store them in the Recycle bin until you want to delete them.

- February 24, 2012 at 3:13 PM

"Access denied" isn't necessarily the fault of he malware. There are two very plausible explanations for why that might be the case.
1) Your computer is part of a network (school or company) and the head user (system auth) restricted access to the files for network security.
2) Someone chmoded the files to prevent access (using Command Line functions). Someone would do that basically for the same reason as above: to restrict access to it for personal security (so you didn't accidentally mess something up).
But yes, showing hidden core files is something you can do without any problems AS LONG AS you don't touch any of those core files. Just letting them appear in your file manager is harmless, but do not modify them in any way without professional assistance. And, since the instructions above do not ask you to modify any of them, you're totally safe.

Forum Post: Clinton discusses Morsy and Egypt's political transition
Posted 5 years ago on Jan. 30, 2013, 11:51 a.m. EST by GirlFriday
This content is user submitted and not an official statement
On Morsy she said: "I think he has a lot of the right intentions." She added that there are things that he has done which the US has approved of and other things it did not approve of, such as "abrogating a lot of power unto himself personally, reinstating emergency law provisions that had been a hallmark of the Mubarak regime."
Clinton expressed that the issue of Egyptian border security is a big problem, specifically weapons smuggling. She said: "we need to reassert order in the Sinai. It's in Egypt's interest; it's in Israel's interest." She highlighted the importance stopping Hamas from attacking Israel saying that this could have a negative impact upon Egypt if the situation becomes "uncontrollable."

Ask a Muslim [split from introductions]

You're welcome. I appreciate your appreciation, too.

Our friendly resident Calvinist, kingschosen, started his own and it's been a great success. The reason I suggest this is because the information you've already provided us is just too good to be hidden in the Introductions section and I'm sure there are many others already on this forum who have their own questions they'd like to ask and discuss with you.
Okay, I'll start a thread over there. I like that idea. I had actually thought of doing that after seeing kingschosen's "Ask a Theist" thread. I enjoyed reading his thread. But, if you don't mind, I want to make some more posts in this forum and become more familiar with the rules and stuff before starting an actual discussion. So, I will start my own thread when I think that I'm ready for it (or hopefully by next week). And thank you for the suggestion.

RE: Ask a Muslim [split from introductions]
Why do alot of muslims get offended so easily when it comes to their religion?
You seem pretty relaxed about it all and I know some pretty offensive stuff has been published about Muhammed but even when seemingless harmless things happen some muslims still get upste like for example: I told my gf (she's turkish and muslim) that Muhammed is to islam like Ataturk was to turkey namely being the "architect" of it. I figured since turks are pretty nationalistic she might agree but instead she got angry at me. Telling me I can never compare the two. Not saying my comparison is without flaws but nothing to be upset about I would imagine.

Do you feel that the Q'uran has been abrogated in the past? If so, do you feel that this is appropriate?
My girlfriend is mad at me. Perhaps I shouldn't have tried cooking a stick in her non-stick pan.

RE: Ask a Muslim [split from introductions]
Welcome Mullah.
Is it not the case that the history and mythology of all the religions of the Book, along with the zealots, make the perpetrators of such writings, albeit 'misunderstood' on some instances, make the Koran dangerous ,if only by the mismanagement of crazed god obsessed fanatics linked to militarism and politics? Thank you.
Some time ago a Mullah here in Australia described some young women as "RAW MEAT", relevant to their dress as related to a rape case.
When asked if Australia should be become a Moslem nation he replied ....."yes a very good idea" Do you agree?

RE: Ask a Muslim [split from introductions]
Hi and welcome.
Please double click on the attached photo I took a few days ago at the world atheist conference in Melbourne. What were these loud, angry, threatening Muslims doing protesting at a peaceful atheist conference? Why are they threatening to burn Ayaan Ali Hirsi? Why did this beautiful, articulate, intelligent lady need to turn up at the conference in an armoured car with multiple bodyguards?
I will hazard an answer for you. These ignorant brainwashed boys have been reading the fucking Koran.
I congratulate you for somehow managing to reinterpret the Koran and water it down. Why not go the whole way and throw the stinking piece of shit in the bin?
BTW, just in case you think I'm picking on you, the fucking Christians were there too, and were threatening people with hell as well.
Close your eyes for a minute and imagine a world without God, Allah or Yahweh. No more bombs, shootings or war. A brotherhood of man. The more you promote Islam the further we move away from that. Please think about that before you reply.

RE: Ask a Muslim [split from introductions]
I am skeptical about asking you, Mullah, and getting an honest answer. I'm not saying you would deceive on purpose, but there does seem to be a witholding of explanation on religious matters to non-Islamic people from members of the Islamic faith. Over and over I hear the phrase "religion of peace", but that is clearly not the case when Muslims are offended. The call for Salman Rushdie's death for writing a fiction novel, the threats on journalists and then on all Dutch citizens for reprinting cartoon images of Mohammed, and many more incidents are evidence to the contrary. It has been very clear to many that outsiders don't hear a complete message, and Muslims are quick to deny, twist, or marginalize facts about the Quran when asked sensitive questions.
But despite all that, I do have a question. Regarding the right to freedom of speech: Why do you think the Islamic faith gets a pass on open ridicule for the ideas it professes, or its dogma that followers adhere to? And, do you think Islam should be an open subject of free speech as much as any other without the speakers feeling afraid or stigmatized as insensitive?

Sup Mullah
Why does Allah seem to be a massive dick towards unbelievers?
Why is context so important when a verse that seems angry and evil is shown but not a verse that appears to be good? It's quite annoying.
What's with all of this metaphorical stuff? Why is some taken literally and others a magical metaphor?
Do you sincerely believe that the Quran has miraculous claims in it?
Sapere aude! Have courage to use your own understanding!Take the risk of thinking for yourself, much more happiness, truth, beauty, and wisdom will come to you that way.
Enlightenment is liberating.

USAFM6 Hello!
We just booked a climb for Kilimanjaro starting on 25 Feb and then I'm going to Zanzibar the following week. We are NOT using the "Coca Cola" route up the mountain but the Machame Route. I found a hotel in Stonetown Zanzibar that's mid-priced range and has great reviews. We have room for our climb that starts on 25 Feb & ends on 2 March. Then I have a plane booked to Zanzibar for a very reasonable cost and will be there from 3 March-9 March. Let me know if these dates are about the same you were considering. There will be at least 2 or more of us already on the climb and then possibly the same for Zanzibar. Our trip is already listed here on Globetrooper.

You're never gonna score if you put your stick there, Henrik.
The Kings and Canucks are tied at 1 win each in their best-of-seven series, and now head to California to play games 3 and 4 at Staples Center.
The first two games of this series were very close, both going to overtime, both scores 3-2, with each team taking one victory. The Canucks biggest problem through the first two games was a lack of discipline, and paying the price for it. While some suggest that the officiating has been erratic and inconsistent, the Canucks have still been guilty of taking far too many penalties. These mistakes are costing the Canucks dearly as the Kings, who have scored only 5 goals in the first two games, have scored 4 powerplay goals. And the biggest culprit has been Andrew Alberts. His stats are shocking and telling – He's taken 23 minutes in penalties and only played 17:32. That is just terrible. The Canucks cannot support that lack of discipline from one player and expect to be successful in this series or throughout the playoffs.
Now, some would argue that the only reason why Alberts even played in the first two games was because Aaron Rome was hurt. Rome, who has steadily improved throughout his time as a Canuck, looks to draw back into the lineup as he appears to have recovered from his injury. Furthermore, a healthy Nolan Baumgartner is also available as a scratch. One has to think that, barring disaster, Alberts has played his last playoff game for the Canucks this year. Given the fact that the Canucks need to improve their discipline, there is a good case to be made for getting Baumgartner in the lineup. Baumer took only one minor penalty in 12 GP for the Canucks, and was a +7. Those are impressively responsible numbers for a fill-in defenseman. Aaron Rome's numbers weren't bad, and they certainly improved through the year. Meanwhile they both had similar average ice time, with Rome at 15:10 per game, and Baumgartner at 14:12. They also have basically the same amount playoff experience… NONE. Baumer has played 3 post-season games to Rome's 2.
While the Canucks discipline has been the primary issue, their offense has also been lacking. Now, one could argue that the offense has been lacking because the Canucks have had to kill off so many penalties, which is very true. However, the Canucks had the 2nd most potent offense at home, so they should have been able to overcome those player deficits. In fact, I think this offense needs to come from the defense. The Canucks played a great game in Game 1, despite killing so many penalties, and that had to do with their aggressive forecheck and pressure in the offensive zone. So if the Canucks can continue the offensive pressure they will see the same success that they did in Game 1.
Can the Canucks come back from LA with the split… or better? Will it be Rome or Baumgartner in for Alberts tonight? Will Alain Vigneault juggle the lines to get more offense rolling?
We'll find out at 7 PM tonight!

VANCOUVER -- The recently held SIGGRAPH 2014, the 41st conference and exhibition for computer-generated visuals, attracted more than 14,000 artists, scientists, game developers and filmmakers from 75 countries to the Vancouver Convention Centre.
This year's exhibition, organized by the Association for Computing Machinery from Aug. 10 to 14, included all visual disciplines, from big-budget movies to handheld games. The must-see panel this year featured Palmer Luckey, who created the Oculus Rift virtual reality system. After selling the technology to Facebook for some $2 billion, Luckey gained near-instant celebrity in the world of computer-generated visual arts.
According to Luckey, the large-scale adoption of augmented reality and virtual reality is inevitable in the evolution of entertainment. Although a niche market for decades, virtual reality "will happen -- it's a matter of when," Luckey said.
Those sharing the panel with Luckey seemed to agree with his assessment of a virtual reality future, though they were not clear on what that future may look like. All appeared to agree that games which work on traditional screens may not translate into VR. Conversely, VR may open new categories of games.
Sony's Magic Lab's Richard Marks, who is spearheading the electronics giant's Morpheus VR system, said the current era is the "Wild West" for virtual reality with "no established genres." For instance, Marks noted, the fast movements of today's games may not work well in a VR environment. And certain glitches still need to be worked out of the hardware, such as better ergonomic design.
"I think it will be VR content and software that will drive the industry long term," Luckey said. "I'm looking forward to the point where nobody can think of more [technical] improvements and instead are thinking about compelling killer apps."

Store Valuables In the Oven? Maybe You Shouldn't
Heading away for the holidays? Whatever you do, don't put your laptop in the oven. Sure, it might be tempting to prep your apartment for a long leave of absence by hiding your valuables in unlikely places. But the more unusual the place, the more likely you'll forget it's there when you get home to heat up leftovers.
We know plenty of people living in tiny apartments that use their ovens for storage. Mostly you'll just find oven-save skillets and things like that. But some people with very small spaces have been known to store melt-able and flammable things—with disastrous results.
But the latest idea? Hide your valuables in unlikely places, like the oven, as an added defense against getting your stuff nabbed in an apartment break-in.
It's a great idea in theory, but you should only get on board if you're sure you'll remember that it's in there when you get back home and back to your baking routine. A friend of Flickr member jimray didn't, giving us these pictures as proof, along with a cautionary tale:
My buddy Kidd left his laptop in his oven while away—you know, in case of break-in or fire, it'd be safe. We're all over after grabbing him from the airport, ready to bake some cookies. Preheat the oven to 375, start mixing the ingredients, about ten minutes later, we notice a pretty awful smell. Open the oven door and, surreally enough, there's a laptop and a backup hard drive staring me in the face.
Yikes! But strangely enough, the hard drive worked fine again inside another firewire enclosure.
If you're going to try this, we suggest practicing a variation of the rubber band method: Leave a subtle-but-unusual reminder on the oven knobs, like a Christmas ornament, to jog your memory about your hidden goods.

STOCKTON - Sunday was a good day for Karen Hicks.
STOCKTON - Sunday was a good day for Karen Hicks.
As she does every year, Hicks enjoyed the Super Bowl at Frank and Barbara Whitney's home, site of an annual party for the past 35 years. Hicks was cheering for the 49ers at her in-laws, but not with much fervor. She needed to choose one team, so she picked the 49ers because they are the local team.
Her focus was on the Super Crib cribbage tournament that started in 1994; she became the first person to win the single-elimination event two years in a row. She may have won a sizable chunk of cash as well in an office pool based on Baltimore's 7-3 lead at the end of the first quarter.
"I know my numbers were three and seven, but I'm not sure which way," she said.
For the majority of San Francisco 49ers fans rooting on the team's quest for a sixth Super Bowl championship, however, Sunday was a bummer. Baltimore's 34-31 victory marked the first time in six Super Bowl appearances the 49ers did not come home with the Lombardi Trophy.
That doesn't mean the parties weren't a success.
The Whitneys add a special touch to their gathering, which featured close to 30 people, with an assortment of food honoring not only the participating teams but the host city as well. This year's menu included Raven wings and New Orleans jambalaya. For dessert: Ghirardelli chocolate sundaes, with or without nuts.
More than 50 people attended Al and Michelle Toccoli's 10th annual extravaganza in Morada. While sight lines can be a problem at overcrowded parties, there were plenty of viewing options at the Toccolis.
There were TVs in the front room, near the tended bar, in the garage, even on the back patio.
Half of the preparation was already done. Their home is littered with 49ers memorabilia: autographed jerseys, footballs, photos. Portions of the home are even painted red and gold.
Party preparation can be a daunting task, but it's a labor of love for Michelle Toccoli.
"I get nervous the night before, because there are a lot of people coming, but when you enjoy what you're doing, it's not a lot of work," she said. "It's friends, it's family, and it's generations. It's not just one group of people. There are just so many good friends. That's what it's all about."
There are other options for guests in case the score becomes one-sided. There's a bocce court in the back, a pool table in the house and different pools that go on throughout the game to keep people interested.
"We run some pools, one of them for ALS (Lou Gehrig's disease)," Al Toccoli said. "We lost a friend (Glen Halligan) to ALS a couple of years ago, so that one is important to us."
Al Toccoli has been a 49ers season ticket holder for 31 years, and he's been to two Super Bowls, including 1985, when San Francisco beat the Miami Dolphins 38-16 at Stanford Stadium. Surprisingly, traveling to New Orleans was never a priority for him.
"I've been to two Super Bowls, but I wouldn't want to go to another," he said. "I'd rather be here watching it on TV."
A few miles south of the Toccolis, John and Lynette Zeiter hosted a bash for the 20th consecutive year. Sixty to 70 friends and family attended. Some watched in the house; some watched under a large gazebo in the backyard; others watched in a detached recreation room adjacent to the family's large pond.
John Zeiter noticed one drawback to a Super Bowl that featured the 49ers.
Some opted to stay home.
"There are obviously a lot of Niner fans, but I think we probably lost about 10 regulars," John Zeiter said. "They really wanted to watch the game and not be bothered."
"I told people if they really wanted to watch the game, they could go into the bedroom," Lynette Zeiter said. "But they have to sit in their same seat in their same clothes and eat the same thing."
With the 49ers' wealth of young talent, many party guests said they wouldn't be surprised to see San Francisco in the big game again a year from now.
Regardless, they will return to the same friends and family to watch next year's Super Bowl.
"The party really never ends," Frank Whitney said. "We only adjourn for 365 days."

Shell Oil Co. has chosen a site near Pittsburgh for a major, multibillion-dollar petrochemical refinery that could provide a huge economic boost to the region.
Dan Carlson, Shell's general manager of new business development, said Thursday that the company signed a land option agreement with Horsehead Corp. to evaluate a site near Monaca, about 35 miles northwest of Pittsburgh.
The so-called ethane cracking, or "cracker," plant would convert ethane from bountiful Marcellus Shale natural gas liquids into more profitable chemicals such as ethylene, which are then used to produce everything from plastics to tires to antifreeze.
The plants are called crackers because they use heat and other processes to break the ethane molecules into smaller chemical components. A cracker plant looks similar to a gasoline refinery, with miles of pipes and large storage tanks. The final complex could cover several hundred acres.
Jobs On The (Distant) Horizon
Pennsylvania's Republican Gov. Tom Corbett is focused on the job-creation aspect of the plant.
"Ten-thousand construction jobs for ... something like five years is a lot of construction jobs for southwestern Pennsylvania," he tells Scott Detrow of NPR member station WITF. "And that spins off a lot. The operation of it, depending on the size, could be up to 500 people that would be there full-time."
Pennsylvania's gain is West Virginia and Ohio's loss, in some respects. Both states' governors worked hard to win the cracker. They all offered Shell major tax incentives. Still, Monaca is about 15 miles from both the Ohio and West Virginia borders, so workers in all three states are likely to benefit.
Shell has said it could spend several billion dollars to build the plant, and that the complex would attract a wide range of industry and suppliers to nearby locations.
Corbett says the cracker could be the region's "single-largest industrial development ... in more than a generation," but his optimism is cautious. In a press conference, he said the announcement was "the first pitch in a nine-inning game."
Actual construction is still years away. The company said the next steps are environmental and design studies and further economic analysis, then permits.
One lifelong resident of the Pennsylvania township almost broke down on hearing the news.
"Oh my God. It makes me want to cry. That's just the best news," said Christie Floyd-Gabel, Potter Township's secretary.
A 'Major Loss' Perhaps Recuperated
It's also an unexpected turn for the Horsehead zinc factory on the banks of the Ohio River. In September, the company announced plans to shut the factory by 2013 and relocate to North Carolina, along with most of its 600 workers.
"That was a major loss," Floyd-Gabel said of Horsehead's plans to depart, adding that it's amazing that another major corporation may come in to replace Horsehead.
Ali Alavi, a Horsehead spokesman, said the company would have to vacate the over 300-acre site by April 30, 2014, under the terms of the option agreement with Shell.
Shell said the Horsehead site had the mix of resource and transportation attributes "to accommodate facilities for a world scale petrochemical complex and potential future expansions."
The American Chemistry Council, in a report last year, estimated the new petrochemical complex could attract up to $16 billion in private investment and create thousands of construction jobs. Shell estimated the core plant could employ several hundred people.
The Marcellus Shale's Bounty
If the plant is built, Shell would be able to supply it partly with gas from its own wells, giving it more control over supply and costs. The company paid $4.7 billion in 2010 for drilling rights to about 650,000 acres in the region.
Shell's choice may also represent an indication of just how strongly the industry feels about the vast gas reserves in nearby underground shale rock formations, given the multibillion-dollar commitments it has made. Carlson told The Associated Press that any plant must be economically competitive with existing cracker plants in Louisiana and Texas, and even with international plants.
The Marcellus Shale, which lies thousands of feet underground, has attracted a rush of major oil companies, who have drilled almost 5,000 new wells in the past five years. The Marcellus covers large parts of Pennsylvania, New York, Ohio and West Virginia, and drillers have also started to tap the adjacent, deeper Utica Shale formation.
How Pennsylvania Won
Ohio and West Virginia officials had made all-out efforts to attract the plant. Sources within the gas industry tell WITF that Ohio Gov. John Kasich and West Virginia Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin were both told earlier this week that their states did not win the three-way bidding war.
Both Kasich and Tomblin made aggressive, high-profile plays for the Shell plant, traveling to Houston to make their pitch to the company. West Virginia even passed a law creating a 25-year tax break specifically aimed at the facility.
The Corbett administration took a much more low-key approach, revealing scant public details about Pennsylvania's bid for the facility. Act 13, signed into law in February, directed 5 percent of impact fee revenue toward "infrastructure projects related to the natural gas industry." Another new act expanded "Keystone Opportunity Zone" tax breaks to create 15 years worth of tax breaks for companies that invest at least $1 billion in new Pennsylvania-based projects.
Several other companies are also reportedly considering building similar plants in the region.
Scott Detrow of member station WITF contributed to this report, which contains material from The Associated Press.
And a good economic news story now. A major manufacturing plant is being built – not shut down – in western Pennsylvania.
As Scott Detrow of member station WITF reports, Shell Chemical has selected a site 30 miles from Pittsburgh to build a multi-billion dollar natural gas processor.
SCOTT DETROW, BYLINE: The facility is called an ethane cracker. It takes ethane from the natural gas being extracted from Pennsylvania's Marcellus Shale formation, and converts it ethylene, which is used to make plastic.
Pennsylvania's Republican Governor Tom Corbett is more focused on another aspect.
GOVERNOR TOM CORBETT, REPUBLICAN, PENNSYLVANIA: Ten thousand construction jobs for I think something like five years is a lot of construction jobs here in southwestern Pennsylvania. And that spins off a lot. The operation of it, depending on the size, could be, you know, up to 500 people that would be there full-time.
DETROW: Corbett says he spent hours in front of his computer, looking at potential sites on Google Maps.
Pennsylvania's gain is West Virginia and Ohio's loss. Both states' governors worked hard to win the cracker. Pennsylvania made a more low-key pitch that stayed out of the headlines, though the state did pass tax breaks and steered some money toward the project.
Corbett says the cracker could be the region's single-largest industrial development in more than a generation - but his optimism is cautious.
PENNSYLVANIA: You probably won't see anything for a while. Because there will be evaluations of the environmental impact of the company that is leaving.
DETROW: The Beaver County site currently hosts a zinc smelter, which will be there until 2014. Shell's next steps will include more site inspections, design studies, and research.

Moo is a printing company that makes business cards, mini cards, postcards and more. These cards are super easy to make, especially if you already have photos uploaded to flickr, smugmug, facebook, etsy, or bebo. Simply choose the product you want to make, put your photos and contact information into their templates, and you're done. And the prices are extremely reasonable: 100 cards for around $20.
I made the mini cards (100 for $19.99 + shipping). I chose 20 different photos from my genealogy collection, which gave me a wide selection of cards to hand out. I put my name, email address and two websites on the back. Others might choose to put their phone number, twitter or facebook IDs, etc. Here's how mine came out (the photo itself is a little dark, not the cards themselves):

State places Sound Community Services on 'immediate monitoring'
Sound Community Services has been placed under "immediate monitoring" by the state Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services, which is investigating complaints about client care and fiscal management at the New London-based outpatient mental health services agency.
DMHAS made the announcement late Monday afternoon after a meeting earlier in the day between DMHAS Commissioner Patricia Rehmer and other department staff with Gail Lawson, executive director of Sound Community Services, K. Michael Talbot, the chairman of SCS' Board of Directors, and Diane Loomis-Setts, clinical director at the agency. Rehmer called for the meeting due to concerns about letters SCS sent in October and November to more than 400 clients telling them to seek care elsewhere because the agency did not have the staff to administer their psychiatric medications or write prescriptions for them.
"DMHAS is committed to providing high-quality care to our clients, both through our providers and through direct care," Rehmer said in the statement. "Beyond completing a fiscal audit, we have put immediate monitoring in place to ensure that Sound clients are in a safe environment and getting the care they need. The Department is conducting an investigation to determine the extent of the issues at Sound Community Services and what corrective action must be taken."
DMHAS has also told Sound Community Services to submit a corrective action plan by Monday "that will address the immediate issue around prescribing and dispensing medication. Upon review and approval, DMHAS will monitor Sound on a weekly basis to ensure compliance and appropriate care for clients."
Neither Lawson nor Talbot could be reached to comment Monday afternoon.
In the statement, DMHAS said that if its investigation determines that SCS cannot provide appropriate care for its clients, the state will take over its caseload by assigning it to the Southeastern Mental Health Authority, the Norwich-based division of the state department, and its provider network.
SCS, with offices in New London and Norwich, is the region's largest provider of outpatient mental health services for adults, with about 700 clients and an annual budget of about $10 million, supported mainly by state and federal funds.
Monday's statement is the strongest from DMHAS thus far about the extent of its concerns about SCS. The agency has been under state scrutiny at least since August, after 21 former employees sent a letter to SCS's Board of Directors about leadership and high turnover issues they said are undermining client care. DMHAS also began an audit of the agency after allegations were raised in email messages and an anonymous letter.
James Siemianowski, spokesman for DMHAS, said in a phone interview last week that the audit thus far had turned up findings that SCS staff were being overpaid from state grants. The finding could result in SCS having to repay funds to the state, he said.
The findings are being contested by SCS, he said.
In the letters this fall, more than 400 SCS clients were told to go to a primary care doctor or a hospital emergency room for psychiatric medication prescriptions, because of a severe shortage of staff able to prescribe and administer medications. State and regional mental health officials were highly critical of SCS for the way it handled the situation, including not alerting state officials to the problem and seeking the state's help before sending the letters.
With leadership change, morale improves, stability returns to Sound Community Services
New leadership in place at troubled Sound Community Services

Benjamin Meyer, Sommelier at Whist in the Viceroy Santa Monica hotel
At 25 years old, Benjamin Meyer is truly one of the faces to know in the industry, a Sommelier at one of the west side's most volume-selling, wine-oriented restaurants – WHIST, at Santa Monica's Viceroy Hotel.Originally from Chicago, Meyer sold his small importing and consulting company ("I found the wine world easier to navigate as a buyer," he told Patterson's) to head out west. During his foray at the Dolce Group's celebrity-packed Geisha House, Meyer didn't mind hand-selling sake, but his time to spread his wings has arrived at Whist, where he has gallantly – with the respect of his F&B Director Gil Solis – increased wine sales by more than 100 percent in five months.His new list was released in July 2006 and he modestly noted, "It's really quite simple. Chef Warren Schwartz and I look to the flavors generated by protein dishes, and find the right wine with well balanced acid and structure that pairs well with our cuisine."His wine list is inviting, and starting with its Contents page, divides the character of the selections through thought-provoking themes such as "Italian Treasures," "Aromatic Whites" or even "Earthy, Spice & Fire" for European reds such as Grenache, Syrah or Tempranillos.A Pinot-phile at heart, Meyer flirts with 27 domestic offerings and 13 Burgundian reds. He just added Brassfield Estate's limited production High Valley appellation Pinot Noir to his by-the-glass list.Passion is infectious, and Meyer plays favorites with cool weather Syrahs and semi-dry Chenin Blancs.Demanding professionalism from his servers, and gaining their full attention and respect, Meyer ensures wine education for every shift, including fact sheets, tasting notes and maps to study regions.His ultimate goal? "To be a winemaker," he smiled, adding, "And I think Washington State is the place for my ideal site." Once again, he dreams up visions of intense and lush Syrah and charmingly layered fruit-and-steel Chenin Blanc.Keep watch on Benjamin Meyer: his dreams are sure to come true.
SIDEBARWhistle Stop at Whist: Brassfield Merlot "This is luxurious," said Benjamin Meyer of the 2003 Brassfield Estate High Serenity Ranch, High Valley appellation Merlot, which he recently added to the wine list, in support of this up-and-coming growing region, about 70 miles north of Napa. "Merlot, in its ripe, elegant and fruity form such as this, is a prized entity."

June 8, 2005
SANTA BARBARA, Calif. -
A trio of UC Santa Barbara pitchers, led by record-setting senior relief ace Alex McRobbie, were drafted on the second and final day of the 2005 Major League Baseball Draft.
McRobbie, who was chosen by the Toronto Blue Jays in the 24th round, was joined by fellow senior reliever Loren Fraser, a 33rd round choice of the Detroit Tigers, and junior right handed starter Steve Morlock, a 50th round choice of the Chicago Cubs.
The mound trio join senior infielder Chris Malec, who was chosen in Tuesday's 16th round by the New York Yankees.
McRobbie, a two-time honorable mention All-Big West selection, finished the 2005 campaign with a school-record 14 saves. He also had a 2-0 record and a 2.75 ERA. McRobbie earned either a win or a save in 16 of UCSB's 26 victories. In 30 outings, all out of the bullpen, he hurled 39.1 innings, posted 48 strikeouts, and walked just seven. Opponents batted just .222 off of the right hander. He entered the year with four career saves, and his 18 are a career record at UCSB. In 2004, McRobbie led the team with a 1.51 ERA in 41.2 innngs of work.
Fraser, a key set-up man out of the Gaucho bullpen each of the last two seasons, was 3-4 in 2005 with a 5.16 ERA, 35 strikeouts, and 19 walks in 59.1 innings. Fraser actually made three starts on the season and his 32 appearances were a team-high. As a junior in 2004, he had an even better season, going 6-1 with a pair of saves, an ERA of 1.94, and 36 strikeouts in 51.0 innings.
Morlock recorded a 7-7 record in 2004, with a 5.83 ERA. His seven wins led the team, as did his 17 starts. He had 43 strikeouts in 97.1 innings of work. Morlock was generally the Gauchos' Friday starter. As a sophomore in 2004, he was 7-5 with a 5.02 ERA. His 17 total wins in three seasons is just one short of the school's all-time top-ten list.
Finally, 2006 UCSB signee Blair Brejtfus was selected in the 28th round, 853rd overall by the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim. The 6'3" righthander from Arcadia High School in Scottsdale, Ariz., was the nation's 61st-ranked high school prospect by Baseball America last season. He will still enroll at UCSB in the Fall of 2005 as a true freshman.

When Cole Davis founded Keystone RV in 1996 his vision was clear: Build a quality RV loaded with features priced thousands less than other RVs on the market. To accomplish his goal, Cole would recruit and build a strong team, focus on keeping overhead low, and empower the people closest to the customer to make decisions.
Within a few short months after opening the doors, Keystone produced its very first camper. Delivering big on quality, features and value, the public fell in love with it. A star was born! As the appetite for the camper increased, new Keystone models were added to satisfy growing customer demand. Along with this tremendous growth came the need for expanded production. To meet this need more manufacturing plants were built and staffed.
From new floor plan designs to patented inventions, Keystone leads the way in product innovation. One reason is our mission to stay close to the customer. When talking with campers or visiting dealerships, our sales, product development, and service teams, are always looking for ways to improve the camping experience. And we don't stop there.
Every member of the Keystone family is encouraged to contribute to making our campers absolutely the best possible. Through something we call Kamp Keystone, our employees camp free of charge at local campgrounds in the Keystone trailers we supply. Each year hundreds of our production workers, administrative staff and service team enjoy a day (or a week) at Kamp Keystone. Their evaluation of the experience and the feedback they provide results in continued product improvements. Ask us if we use our RVs...the answer is YES!

Joe Rice said a new, combative stance from BP over the disaster would backfire on the company and compared it with a war between Britain and the US two centuries ago. He also claimed that BP could do little to prevent further payouts on top of the £27.3bn it has already paid out.
As BP's costs related to the disaster have spiralled, it has changed stance over how it deals with claims, contesting how payouts are settled and claiming that many were "fictitious". Last month, chief executive Bob Dudley promised the company was "digging in" on the "absurd outcomes" of the legal battles.
Mr Rice - who sits on a representative committee that negotiated a settlement with BP in March - claimed that BP's fighting talk is a grave error and amounted to an attack on victims of the disaster.
"In our view, BP views us as a colony that they own and can exploit, it's outrageous," he told the Reuters news agency. "I think they've made a vast strategic error by fighting and shifting this whole battle to an attack on the people of the Gulf. Any goodwill they built on trying to do the right thing, they have destroyed."
He compared BP's position to a British attack on US-held New Orleans in 1814 during the 1812-1815 war between the two nations. "We're going back to the 1814 attack," he said.
BP responded by saying his comments were over the top. "To hear Mr Rice's xenophobic name-calling and hyperbolic characterisations, you'd think the war of 1812 was still raging," a spokesman said.
"While we are willing to pay legitimate claims, we did not agree to pay for fictitious losses, or for claims that are based on fraud or tainted by corruption. We are defending our rights, shining a light on abuses, and keeping people informed.
"This is our legal right – one Mr Rice should remember was at the heart of the revolution he invokes."
The war of words comes as BP continues to battle claims related to the disaster, which it recently said has cost it $42.4bn (£27.3bn) to date. In the most recent fightback, it asked a US judge to prevent investors from launching a collective lawsuit against the company.
The investors allege that BP lied in order to cover up the estimated cost of the disaster in order to stem falls in its share price. BP, which denies the claims, said: "Plaintiffs must demonstrate that the alleged misrepresentations were publicly known."
Meanwhile, BP is suing the US environment agency over a blanket ban on winning new work for the US government.

As a programmer working in an insurance office, I have a nasty little management hierarchy which is making programming much harder.
At current, our IT department rates a three on The Joel Test, which worries me. I'd like to fix this, but management enforces an insanely aggressive release schedule. Basically every project is due "yesterday". As a result basic planning is nearly impossible. Best practices like planning, documentation, and testing are all overlooked on every project we attempt.
So far, I've tried a myriad of methods. Everything from trying to frighten them with worst case scenarios, to referring to industry standards for advice on how to proceed on a subject. I'm at the end of my rope.
So the question is, what methods have worked for other programmers to change how management views programming. My biggest fear is that it is simply impossible to make them see the light, and the solution is "work somewhere else".
Thanks in advance!

Here are two gluten-free recipes from nutritionist and chef Kathy Smart.
Kabbouleh Salad
Kabbouleh Salad is Kathy Smart's take on tabbouleh with quinoa and kale, which is extremely high in iron.
To make kale more tender, place chopped kale in a bowl and drizzle with 2 ml (1/2 tsp) olive oil and 1 ml (1/4 tsp) sea salt. Massage oil and salt into kale leaves and let sit while you prep salad. "As funny as that sounds it will break down the fibres so it's not as tough," Smart says.
In a salad bowl, combine all ingredients and gently stir.
Makes 6 servings.
Coconut Cavena Nuda and Black Beans
Use Cavena Nuda anywhere that calls for wheat berries, barley or rice. You can also add a handful of this nutritious grain to soup to increase the fibre and nutrition. Smart likes to cook it in vegetable broth because it absorbs the tastes of what it's cooked in.
In a small saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Stir in green onion and cook until softened and translucent. Add Cavena Nuda and stir until coated with butter.
Pour in coconut milk and water; season with nutmeg. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to medium-low, cover and simmer until liquid has been absorbed and grain is tender, about 30 minutes.
Stir in black beans and cook for a few minutes until hot.
Makes 6 servings.

Five Alachua County schools made the Washington Post's 2013 list of the most challenging high schools in the country.
Five Alachua County schools made the Washington Post's 2013 list of the most challenging high schools in the country.
Eastside High School was ranked the 35th most challenging high school, followed by Buchholz High School at No. 221, Gainesville High School at No. 313, Newberry High School at No. 1,531 and Santa Fe High School at No. 1,666.
Eastside, Buchholz, Gainesville and Santa Fe high schools consistently rank high on the list.
More than 22,000 U.S. high schools are evaluated based on the number of Advanced Placement, International Baccalaureate and Advanced International Certificate of Education exams given at a school, divided by the number of graduates for that year.
The top 9 percent made the Most Challenging High Schools list this year.
Alachua County Public Schools Superintendent Dan Boyd said the rankings are particularly gratifying because the Alachua County schools are not all magnet programs like other schools that typically top such lists.
"You've got a good cross-section of all types and motivations and academic abilities," he said.
Boyd said there's a consensus in the school district that more rigorous class options for high school students translate into better preparedness for college and for life. That most of the high schools in the district made the list didn't surprise him.
The simplicity of the method for rankings — the number of college-level tests divided by the number of graduating students — has been questioned by some.
Karen Clarke, director of secondary curriculum for Alachua County Public Schools, said the list is not a barometer of how well each school is performing.
"That's a hard thing to say," she said. "If you're going to truly measure the curriculum, you're going to have to measure the whole program."
Still, she said, nabbing a few spots on the most-challenging list is good for showcasing the most advanced programs in the district.
Meanwhile, U.S. News & World Report on Tuesday released its national list of the best high schools.
Although no Alachua County schools ranked high on the national list, Buchholz was listed No. 24 of 777 schools ranked in Florida.

In The Meaning of the Bible: What the Jewish Scriptures and Christian Old Testament Can Teach Us, preeminent biblical scholars Douglas A. Knight and Amy-Jill Levine deliver a broad and engaging introduction to the Old Testament--also known as the Tanakh or Hebrew Bible--offering a wealth of compelling historical background and context for the sacred literature that is at the heart of Judaism and Christianity. John Shelby Spong, author of Re-Claiming the Bible for a Non-Religious World writes, "Levine and Knight have combined to write a book on the Bible that is as academically brilliant as it is marvelously entertaining. By placing our scriptures into their original Jewish context they have opened up startling and profound new insights. This is a terrific book."
"Amy-Jill Levine and Douglas A. Knight have combined to write a book on the Bible that is as academically brilliant as it is marvelously entertaining. By placing our scriptures into their original Jewish context they have opened up startling and profound new insights. This is a terrific book."
-John Shelby Spong, author of Re-Claiming the Bible for a Non-Religious World
"More than random facts about the Hebrew Bible . . . more than a historical overview . . . [t]hey are aiming for true understanding of the life, culture, and practices of the ancient Israelites."
"A winsome, accessible introduction to the theological thought of the Hebrew Bible. This sort of irenic, thoughtful linkage of criticism and interpretation within a confessing tradition is exactly what we most need in Scripture reading."
-Walter Brueggemann, Professor Emeritus, Columbia Theological Seminary
"From its superb introduction to its perfectly worded conclusion, this book does it all. Whether your interest in the Bible is historical or literary, specific texts or broad themes, this book has it—and conveys its relevance for today. "
-Richard Elliott Friedman, author of Who Wrote the Bible? and The Bible Now
"Provides new knowledge on the Bible's rich diversity of teaching on sexuality, familial and ethnic discord, political corruption, religious infidelity, economic exploitation as well as the nature of God, faith, love, and social justice. It is both enlightening and inspiring."
-Peter J. Paris, the Elmer G. Homrighausen Professor of Christian Social Ethics, Emeritus, Princeton Theological Seminary
"A book we have needed for years - learned and accessible, clearly organized by the topics readers care about, and fully engaged with current discussions of deep and broad significance."
-William Brosend, Executive Director, the Episcopal Preaching Foundation
"If anyone thinks the fruit of biblical scholarship is esoteric and heavy reading, direct that person to this book. In it, Knight and Levine demonstrate both their scholarly proficiency and their expertise as seasoned educators. This book should appeal to a broad audience."
-Dianne Bergant, CSA, Catholic Theological Union
"Knight and Levine have done a marvelous job of taking very sophisticated material and presenting it in an illuminating and thoroughly engaging way that bespeaks of excellent scholarship by two distinguished teachers."
-Carol J. Dempsey, OP, Ph.D, Professor of Theology, University of Portland, and author of Reading the Bible, Transforming Conflict
"A highly accessible . . . survey that is in tune with current scholarship."

Twitter comes to the Lakefront Trail
#CHILFT Parks crew now working on missing pavement between North and Oak. This and new patch at Fullerton are temp. fixes but much welcomed.
For years, Randy Warren and other staffers at the Active Transportation Alliance have been dutifully riding the Lakefront Trail and providing commuters with a unique traffic report.
Now, an expanded team of "Twitter scouts" will be tweeting timely updates on the status of the 18-mile, multi-use trail. Active Trans is also encouraging any lakefront users to Tweet their own updates with the hashtag #CHILFT.
Trail updates are available via this Active Transportation Alliance Web page, Twitter (@ActivetransLFT) or your cell phone (Text "follow activetransLFT" to 40404. It's a free service, but regular text message fees will apply.)
To share trail reports (ice or water on the trail, crashes, high waves, Redmoon performances, traffic, Trikke sightings or backward joggers) via Twitter, use the hashtag #CHILFT. Active Trans will rebroadcast some of these reports through the @activetransLFT account.
If you don't use Twitter, you can email email@example.com with reports.
Chicago's Lakefront Trail is one of the most popular and chaotic bike commuting routes in the region; peak daily usage of the trail reaches up to 30,000 people at the busiest points. In the summer, it's packed with walkers, runners, dog walkers, in-line skaters and goofballs who insist on juggling in the bike lane. So please, don't tweet or text while riding.

It's been said quite often that hunting is something for anyone, regardless of age or gender, and Mary Hundley is clear proof of that.
The Texas native turned 100 in October and still enjoys getting out into a stand for a hunt. According to this cool story in Lone Star Outdoor News, Hundley gets some assistance from her grandson and son but hasn't let her age stop her from hunting.
"She shoots a nice deer every year," Robert Hundley III, Mary's grandson, told Lone Star Outdoor News. "We all grew up hunting on our deer lease. My uncle manages a ranch between Batesville and La Pryor, so we went out there last Tuesday."
Her most recent buck was a great 8-point that weighed 163 pounds. She dropped it with her .243 and plans to go again this season.
Sounds like Hundley and Katie Watson of South Carolina need to get teamed up for a combo hunt somewhere! Congrats to both of them!
Check out the full story about Hundley here in Lone Star Outdoor News.

OK, I finally decided that since people were asking for both the ToAU mission guide and the Assault mission guide to be stickied, I'd be nice to the admins and have them sticky one thread as opposed to three. In the future, I'll probably add in interactive nation mission guides, but since info on them is already complete, it would just be to make this (eventual) sticky complete.
Interactive Bastok Mission Guide
Interactive Rise of the Zilart Mission Guide
Interactive Chains of Promathia Mission Guide
Interactive Assault Mission Guide
Interactive Treasures of Aht Urhgan Mission Guide
Sandy and Windy guides should be up eventually? Maybe?

Pastor won't testify in same-sex custody dispute
Kenneth Miller convicted last year
Pastor won't testify in same-sex custody dispute
Kenneth Miller convicted last year
BURLINGTON, Vt. —
A Vermont federal judge has ordered a pastor to be held in custody after the man refused to answer grand jury questions about his role in helping a woman and her daughter flee the country in a same-sex custody case.
Kenneth Miller of Stuarts Draft, Va., was ordered held for one week to see if he would change his mind.
U.S. District Judge William Sessions said Thursday he was reluctant to order Miller held. He said he had no choice because Miller's testimony is crucial to the criminal justice system.
Miller said his deeply held religious beliefs prevent him from answering questions.
Miller was convicted last year of charges he helped a woman and daughter flee rather than share custody of the child with her former lesbian partner in Vermont.

excuse me while I go cry
It didn't fit together well enough because the glue bonded too quickly for me to adjust the piece so that the edge was even.
Now I'm going to go do my history homework and try to get this glue off....

It's like those faggots that say they only use notepad. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3761551&forum_id=2#34427075)
really the main advantage of learning vim (aside from quickly being able to edit files in the terminal) is that vim bindings afford a de-facto standard across all IDEs with a vim plugin for basic text editing. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3761551&forum_id=2#34428305)
pre-good editors I probably would've used emacs, since it's basically an all-in-one environment and extending it via macros being was one of the building blocks. vim add-ons are often clunky and slow it down/don't work.
Refactoring is a HUGE one. I don't mean straight find and replace, but stuff like mass applying naming rules across your project for anything you may have typed wrong. This matters when your work enforces style suggestions as warnings
Setting up a good vimrc is a huge pain in the ass. And then you have to do it all again when you switch languages. I LOL at webdev tools who spend so much time fidgeting with vim because they (subconsciously--consciously they'll justify it with some dumb reason) want open source edgy cred. Your startup doesn't matter, everyone who isn't in a nonprofit except people doing research/toolchain development type stuff, ie not you, is a corp drone.
GDB (and I assume clang equivalent) is very competent but debuggers are just easier to use graphically. The gui really helps for organizing information here
I think a big part of vims resurgence is web 3.0 types who literally only ever write JavaScript. They're used to the SHIT debugging you get with node, don't have to set vim up for more than one language, and use the same set of functions over and over again(http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3761551&forum_id=2#34448108)

Their favorite characters
As part of a fun project, Sherman School second graders transformed pumpkins into their favorite children's' book characters with the help of friends and family … and lots of imagination. Displaying their character pumpkins in the front of the class of Christine Laramee are Alyssa Twomey and Matt Badway. And Jonathan Russo shows off Captain Underpants, his favorite. Asked if his father had a hand in the creation, Jonathan said, no, those are his pair of Hanes. (Warwick Beacon photos)
