Posted on 06/11/2013 10:07:09 AM PDT by theruleshavechanged
click here to read article
I suggest we pay him in pesos.
VA ping
nobody had an ounce of testosterone to say no?
This is America. When will they make English our official language. When will they print every government voting form in English.
I'd love to have Gen Pershing up in the Gallary and armed while this asshat was giving his speech.
* I suggest we pay him in pesos. *
Good one!
Send him down to Mexico for a few decades....
Well since the Senate is hell bend on turning us into Mexico it seems very appropriate to speak Spanish on the Senate floor. Soon I will expect outrage if English is spoken.
It's outrageous for a senator to give a speech in a foreign language on the Senate floor.
I'll vote for you! lol
Tim Kaine puede empujar su discurso a su puto culo y proceder rápidamente a México.
When will someone give a floor speech in support of declassifying military documents, in Chinese?
"immigration reform"
Another example of the kind of misleading terms liberals constantly come up with. This is like having a rash of bank robberies and stating "we need finance reform".
"Global warming" ..b-but we set records for freezing temperatures last winter!..."OK, we meant 'climate change'"
"Abortion"...but abortion is murder.."Oh we meant 'planned parenthood' and abortion is not murder, you're just a participant in the 'war against women'."
Como se dice "NO" en Espanol?
It would be fine as long as he goes to Mexico to do it. And stays there.
And the best the Republicans here could find to run against him was George 'Macaca' Allen. When will adults once again beginning to lead the Republican Party?
Bump to that!
did they have the option of pressing 1 for english?
Why Spanish?

Duct Cleaning Enjoy Cleaner, Healthier Air
Duct Cleaning. Enjoy Cleaner, Fresher & Healthier Air
At J.R. Putman, our technicians are trained to perform duct cleaning using specialized vacuums to remove years of dirt, dust and debris stuck in your ducts.
Why should you be concerned about duct cleaning? The ductwork that makes up part of your HVAC system is responsible for distributing heated or cooled air throughout your home. It seems only logical that anything inside your ducts would also be sent from room to room each time your system is running. Particulates like mold spores, dust, pet dander and other debris can collect inside your ductwork and contaminate the air you breathe throughout your home.
Having your ductwork thoroughly cleaned can reduce the spread of these particulates – many of which can make you sick.
Benefits of Duct Cleaning
- Remove dust from your home
- Reduce the amount of allergens in the air
- Improve the efficiency of your heating & cooling unit
- Reduce stale, musty odors
- Recommended by doctors and allergists
In addition to cleaning the supply and return ducts, we cleanse the registers, grills, heat exchangers and filters responsible for distributing air in your home. We take care to protect your ductwork in the process, as well as your carpet and household furnishings during every cleaning.

Kristina Werner '97 (Communication Studies)
Werner makes the call
There's an old saying, "Everybody talks about the weather, but nobody does anything about it."
Kristina Werner can't do anything about the weather, but she can talk about it, probably better than most.
As a Fox 40 News meteorologist, Werner is responsible for forecasting the Sacramento Region's sometimes unpredictable weather.
"Weather reporting has a stigma, so you want to be as accurate as possible," she says.
Werner is usually pretty close in her reporting and she's not afraid to admit when her forecast is wrong. She has an on-air report card she shares with viewers to track how accurate her forecast was.
"I wouldn't do that if I wasn't confident," she says laughing.
Werner attended American River College after high school and began classes at Sac State in 1995. Like many students, she wasn't sure of her career path when she began, but found her way when one of her instructors noticed her writing skills.
"(Communication Studies) Professor Chevelle Newsome inspired me to continue to write," Werner says. "I wasn't sure if it would be print, broadcasting or speech, but it would involve writing."
After graduation, Werner began looking for a job as a general news reporter. She says she "fell into the weather" when Channel 31 advertised for a weather intern.
"The station management was looking for someone with a little computer experience to help with weather, and I fell in love with it."
She spent a few years at a station in Chico but returned to Sacramento in 2000 and moved to Fox 40 taking on general reporting assignments and the weekend weather. She became the station's full-time meteorologist in 2006.
For Werner, reporting the weather is "one of the coolest jobs there is" mostly because she gets to tell people what she has been working on all day.
"I feel like I'm having a conversation with the viewers," she says.
This article was originally published in the Spring 2008 edition of Sac State Magazine.

Every Easter, my grandmother makes two of these pies and they never make it to leftovers.
almost the same as our family recipe only we cut up the coldcuts into small cubes - 30 Jan 2009 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
There are many variations of this recipe, however due to the omission of mozzarella cheese, this is the one I consider to be authentic. Because this pie is eaten after it cools to room temp or cold, it's also an unnecessary addition and a waste of calories (save it for a plate of juicy tomatoes instead). That being said, if your Nonna made it with mozzarella cheese, by all means add it for the nostalgia (8 ounces ought to be plenty). The fresh parsley is a must and adds a bit of brightness to the dish. Oh, and if you make just one, you'll quickly learn why you should have made two. - 28 Feb 2014 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)

As of September 2015, Craigslist stock does not trade publicly, according to Owen Thomas for Gawker. Craigslist founder Craig Newmark and CEO Jim Buckmaster own preferred stock in the private company.Continue Reading
In June 2015, eBay sold its 28.4 percent ownership stake back to Craigslist, reports Reuters. EBay had acquired these shares in 2004 from Craigslist co-founder Phillip Knowlton, states Thomas. EBay paid $16 million to Knowlton and an additional $16 million to Craigslist for the shares. The $16 million paid to Craigslist was paid out as a dividend to Newmark and Buckmaster based on their ownership stakes. Newmark held approximately 60 percent of the remaining shares, and Buckmaster held the other 40 percent.Learn more about Investing

in october of this year windows xp starter edition will be available on low cost pcs in thailand, malaysia, and indonesia. the os will be available in the native language of those three countries. the two additional countries will be announced later pending final discussions. the pilot expansion will last for 12 months. if deemed successful, windows xp starter edition may become available in additional "developing technology market" countries.
read more from the microsoft press release.
brian's opinion
it's encouraging to see that microsoft is expanding what it began in thailand. offering a stripped down version of windows was an incredible strategic shift for microsoft, which had been marketing the notion that a one-size fits all windows os, aside from the home and professional flavors, was the way to go. clearly the competition offered by open source programs in poorer countries made microsoft rethink that notion.
i can only hope that the 5-country pilot will be successful. its success will mean that some of the basic technology in the windows xp operating system will be available to portions of the globe never imagined.
it only took microsoft doing a little thinking outside of just the two boxes of windows it offered.

yeah, i actually mis-typed– by 'they' i meant what will 'we' as in 'geeks' will nickname it, since as a lot, we typically disdain stripped down versions of anything. especially when ms is taking out the multi-user account option, meaning the only user will have admin priviledges– not so safe computing. and they don't explain which "more advanced features" other than multi-user accounts they are expurgating. curious geeks want to know.
just trying to drag this thread from upbeat, happy-land to the gutter. sorry, ms fans. i suspect ms is only doing this to try to reduce pirating of the regular windows offerings by offering a low-cost alternative that still makes them a bundle– stripping a bunch of features out of an old os doesn't really cost much. there is no innovation here.
i mean, come on, "in addition, global programs such as partners in learning (pil) and unlimited potential (up) provide comprehensive it curriculum development…" pil up?? or is it up pil? this stuff is waiting for ridicule.
i will bet some of the deleted features will also make it difficult if not impossible to use non-ms software such as aim, while all msn functionality will be alive and kicking.

the high cost of windows.
the amount of money ms makes from windows is now in the forefront of the computing world. that is the last thing in the world ms wants to happen.
perhaps the ms diehards will finally clue-in to how serious the rise of linux is. and why ms execs have been doing nothing but selling their shares for the past few years. and why ms is going to have to distribute the majority of its cash to the 11 billion outstanding shares in the hands of shareholders. and why a company with so many billions in the bank is having to cut costs.
and it is only going to keep getting worse for ms.

an alternative to windows
with its low cost, growing catalogue of desktop software, and backing from business, linux could finally pry the pc market from microsoft's grasp.
the back-office world of servers and databases is no longer linux�s most exciting frontier. sure, linux has gained an irreversible hold in behind-the-scenes corporate computing centers, where some 67 percent of corporate web servers are linux machines running open-source software. companies from schwab and merrill lynch to l. l. bean and pep boys have converted parts of their back-office operations to linux, and ibm, oracle, and other companies are spending millions to make their own business software run on the operating system. but over the last three years or so, the capabilities of open-source software have finally caught up with those of microsoft applications in the space where most human-computer interaction actually occurs: the desktop. �for the user who spends 50 percent of the time in the web browser and another 40 percent in the mail client, the linux desktop is already there,� says andy hertzfeld, an open-source programmer famed for his work on the original apple macintosh operating system.
linux�s market share has already surpassed apple�s, and every 1 percent gain for linux sucks millions of dollars a year out of microsoft�s revenues. much of that money stays in the pockets of businesses and consumers – by desktoplinuxgrowing
|crappy windows xp lite. (12:26pm est thu aug 12 2004)
"microsoft's new software – dubbed "xp lite" – will feature lower resolution graphics and limited options for networking computers together.
it will also limit users to running three programs concurrently – a far cry from the full version of xp, where the only practical limit comes from the speed of the computer and the size of its memory.
microsoft said it hoped the new software would also help deter consumers from buying pirated versions of its xp system, widely available in many asian countries."
with windows xp lite being so crappy, it won't stop piracy of windows xp.
competitive threat
analysts say linux poses a growing threat to microsoft's dominant windows operating system, used on more than 90% of the world's computers.
a so-called 'open source' system which pc users can install on their machines and modify without paying a licence fee, linux has made significant inroads into the software market in latin america and asia.

|history reliving… (1:26pm est thu aug 12 2004)
way back when, ms became dominant os not because it was better (win 3.1 vs mac os 6? please…), but because computers running it were cheaper than the competition, mainly apple. as market share surged, developers concentrated on the windows platform, and its dominance was assured.
this does not bode well for ms in developing worlds where they don't just have cheaper alternatives, they have free alternatives. the hardware is the same, the os is the cost difference. again, it doesn't matter which os is better or easier to use, only which is cheaper, and you can't get any cheaper than free, unless ms is willing to pay people to use windows.
i could definitely see windows becoming a minority os in the developing world won't affect it here that much, not enough to make it minority in the foreseeable future.
i can't wait to see what they come up with in longhorn when it finally releases in mid 2007. but believe you me, it'll be a lot better than it would have been without the competition. pitty the poor ms programmers and the workload they probably have.

from anti-trust trail:
a modular version of windows would enable computer makers to decide whether to include microsoft components or replace them with the components of competitors when selling pcs outfitted with a microsoft operating system. those components could include browsers, media players and instant-messaging applications. the provision "is a very bad idea," murphy said. "it applies to a very wide range of operating system functionalities, forcing (microsoft) to make every piece removable. you pay (computer manufacturers) to remove the functionality that windows provides to consumers," murphy added. "i don't think it necessarily gives consumers more choice."

they have seen computers, they just don't own them, or if they do, they have a pirated copy of windows xp. the question is, why is someone going to pay $100 extra to get a worse os (xp starter edition) than they already have (xp pirate edition)? once they see that pratically, xp starter sucks, they will go right back to pirating.
the people who can't afford computers now aren't suddenly going to be able to because the os is only $100. they never factored the os price in in the first place–nearly everyone there pirates it.

what, posting a couple of links makes you a now it all. the scope of the after is about money. the pc's are government subsidized, that's why they're so popular.
you guys are funny. you bitch about windows because it's bloated and insecure. windows xp lite comes out and you bitch about how stripped down it is. well, which one is it? or do you just post anything anti microsoft. just to feel you've validated your sad existence. i know, that evil empire microsoft should crash and burn. why don't you let go of some of that hate and do something good for one. go to the linux help boards and post something positive. i posted a help question there over a year ago and all's i got was insults and no help. infact the post is still there. the difference between windows people and linux people is windows people like to help others with tech problems while linux like to make fun of people who have problems installing or working with linux.

what a retard!!! if you need help you can go to the linux user group usually located at your local university and college for free advice. i got a phd computer science candidate who is willing to fix my linux box. if you need commercial linux support, there are many computer companies that you can pay for such as hp, ibm, redhat and open source support such as mysql, tripwire, etc.
window people helping other with tech problems. what a laugh, tron you retard! windows people can only help so far as install, configure, de-install and reinstall. after the 3rd time of de-install, reinstall, how can windows people and tech support fix windows application problems, there is no access to source code. right now, i have been monitoring the problems that are caused by windows xp sp2. there are no solutions by windows people and tech support. we have to wait for new applications to be rewritten and patches to be written. we know how long it for microsoft to write patches. it took microsoft over 10 months to write a patch against serious security flaw that allowed download.ject to infect many windows computers.

"to me, this indicates panic," said one east coast solution provider, who requested anonymity. "when it comes to ms-crm and sp2, i'd say, 'don't go there.' "
solution providers say the ms-crm issue is particularly embarrassing for microsoft because sp2 breaks a relatively new out-of-the-box application: ms-crm 1.2, which shipped in january. microsoft said it has 2,500 ms-crm customers, representing 100,000 individual users.
"this is really stupid," said another east coast microsoft partner, who asked not to be identified. solution providers will be put in an awkward position if they have to go back to customers to perform fixes, especially since they already persuaded those accounts to take a chance on ms-crm, he said.
"let's just say i'm glad i don't have a ton of ms-crm customers," said one west coast microsoft business solutions partner.
great comments about windows xp sp2 and ms crm especially from microsoft business solution partners. i wonder what comments are from ms crm customers.
|re: tron (10:35am est fri aug 13 2004)
get ready to be overwhelmed by windows xp sp2 problems that can't be solved by the simplistic reinstall and install and reconfiguration.
users also discovered conflicts with a number of other applications. for example, a peer-to-peer program called emule is slowed down by an sp2 feature that limits the number of simultaneous tcp connections a program can make to different ip addresses�something that would have blocked worms such as sasser from spreading, according to microsoft. currently, the only fix appears to be a complicated workaround to change windows' tcp/ip parameters.
divx 5.2 and dr. divx 1.0.5, which support divx-encoded video, don't install properly on sp2 systems a new feature called data execution protection, designed to eliminate buffer overflows, must be temporarily turned off before running the divx installer.
other applications that users reported problems with included remote debugging in visual studio.net 2003, microsoft access 2003, novell bordermanager, style xp, the thief iii game, radio userland, crimson editor 3.60, the tablet pc's onenote application, the skype ip telephony program, msn messenger and the ati graphics control panel.
some hardware glitches also showed up, including with the microsoft wireless keyboard, some wireless cards and datacad's hardlock driver. lacie has issued new drivers to allow sp2 machines to connect to hard drives with a firewire 800 interface.
many of the conflicting applications, such as skype and radio userland, have run afoul of sp2's tightened-up policies for internet ports, but some users said the difficulties made them feel more secure. "i had to actually put some effort in to get timbuktu (a remote management program) punched through (it uses several ports for different features), but that was the only significant issue," said author glenn fleishman in response to a blog post by microsoft's robert scoble. "the fact that i couldn't see the machine, i liked."
in isolated cases, users found sp2 caused serious problems for some machines, slowing down performance, making a machine unusable or failing to install at all one user claimed to have tried installing sp2 using four different methods, but had to uninstall it each time.
users give xp sp2 mixed marks

"asian first-timers prefer linux to windows
what, posting a couple of links makes you a now it all. the scope of the after is about money. the pc's are government subsidized, that's why they're so popular."
"many people in thailand have never used a pc before," nalong told linuxinsider. "they don't know the difference between windows and linux. if you go from windows to linux, it seems difficult, but for first-time pc users, the thai edition of linux is easier to learn than windows." nalong added that microsoft has neglected the thai market. the company only recently made thai-language documentation available for beginners.
gilliland said gartner has been contacted by several other asian countries wanting to duplicate the thai initiative. "the apparent success of the thai ict project has spawned some interest in other emerging markets, and they have approached gartner with very early statements of interest," galliland told linuxinsider. he refused to identify the countries involved. in what could signal an ominous sea change for microsoft, nearly all countries in the region are developing localized versions of linux.
gartner had more bad news for microsoft. in the second quarter of 2003, just 40 percent of all desktop pcs shipped in thailand had a licensed copy of windows installed, an all-time low that gartner expects will dip even further. moreover, pc manufacturer laser computer has replaced hp (nyse: hpq) as thailand's top pc seller. laser computer sells only linux pcs and has been growing at an annual rate of 300 percent.

as far as supporting users there's far more to it then installing, and uninstalling. most problems occur from inproperly configured programs and garbage downloaded from the internet. not mentioning virus's written specifically to crash windows. not to mention hardware issues.

"windows xp lite comes out and you bitch about how stripped down it is. well, which one is it? or do you just post anything anti microsoft. "
well look who is bitching about windows xp lite. it is the gardner group.
microsoft's release of a budget version of its xp operating system localized for southeast asia is getting low marks from gartner asia pacific. the research firm took the unusual step of reaching out to the media to make sure consumers got the word.
gartner warned that users will quickly be frustrated by the limited functionality of the software, and that the release could actually encourage piracy.

"nice checkmate man." – by willy
|open your eyes… (12:34pm est mon aug 16 2004)
the only thing that truely cripples this new version is the lack of pc-to-pc networking. unfortunatly, i've yet to see an article that details just what, if any, networking capabilities it will include. i would expect at least dhcp connectivity allowing internet access. and even if that was the extent, would that really be a bad thing? if you want more features, then pay more for the version that has the features you want. sure, i would love to have terminal services available at home, but i'm certainly not going to drop the $500+ required for windows server 2003. so i eiterh settle for what i have, figure out a linux solution, or i save up to buy the product i need.
that said, i think this could be a huge product. take, for example, my parents. though they do understand the concept of "concurrency", they simply don't do it. they log onto aol, surf the 'net, and log off. they open word, type a letter, print it, and close word. you see, they aren't like most "techies" who keep multiple windows open. the 3 app limit wouldn't affect them a bit. further, being "older" they like a lower resolution screen–it's easier on their eyes. i certainly crave higher resolution, but for them, they opt for lower. this type of os could provide them with exactly what they need, and no more. if they wanted more, then they can upgrade to xp home or xp pro.
for people who simply don't have any computer access or simply want to do "the basics", this starter edition seems like the best answer.
oh, and as far as the "why would people buy this crap when they can pay less for a pirated version or nothing for linux?" quote, the simple answer is "because it's the right thing to do." if you want free software, use linux. but don't expect to get it "off the shelf" for free. even redhat and others realize that there's money to be made from a boxed edition. if you want support, then pay for it. if you want to roll your own, then obviously, this isn't the product for you. to say that pirating is a viable alternative is doing nothing more than feeding the anti-piracy groups. – by jiminsc

winxp or xp lite can get bent….i can do more on win98se .
my version of win98se is a hibrid os because of all the mods i have used on it
.theirs parts of win95win98win98sewin98mewin98nt
…ram useage is {after clean boot} 240 megs ram 0% swap file .the hole os is in ram
winxp pro last time i installed it is like fooking 350 megs ram with like a 500 meg swap file and i didn't install anything yeat..+ win xp can't run dos softwere right nor can you restart pc in dos mode.and i do undertand the need to unplug the os from dos ..that was a smart move on mirco $oft part but not supporting it is fooking instalting…
and their dos emulater on winxp is bs..you figer seeing as thay made dos {1.0 ~6.22 ~ [8.0 win98me dos]} that thay cound make a fooking win dos emulater that works …but no..
and i know that all os have bugs on some level and are good at some things and not outers and can suck in some ways and not outers depending on the os but fuck win xp is not compatable with everything made over the years {no dos}
freeking every thing works in win98se {its just getting old}
so i say fook winxp and winxp lite and winxp pro
this is what micro $oft needs to make
winxp core cernal ..
boot floppy avable {win98 stile boot disk + low ram uage boot disk
.no more fooking bloat were winxp stile gui and everthing thing thay was in win98 supported + add like 50% more stuff to play with and full hardwere tuneing options like being able to change irq/dma/in&out put ranges..
of corse what im tring to say it micro $oft needs to make a pro vers for pro user..
thay can all ways make a version for poeple that have problems figering out how to press the power butten on their computer cases…oo wait ..that all ready what thay make…and only make..fooking windows for xbox
win xp is for stupid poeple that without knowing it are being made stupider with eatch passing month…why…cus micro $oft keeps takeing the power away from the computer user and >encrtiping the os so that you have to power to controle it or know wtf going on inside it….fuck micro $oft…
my hardwere stats
winxp "the good" better networking less crashing.very stable
winxp "the bad" fucking everything..bloat.imcampatalbe.no controle over computer resorses.eats up the computers ram and cpu and needlessly
win98se "the bad" networking on it is retared..system prone to crashing
win98se "the good" everything …its just getting old
wana see how fast i can restart pc ..how fast can you blink..in winxp i have time to take a nap when its restarting…
funny to that when winxp totley fucks up and wont boot the only thing that deals with it is a dos boot disk and "fdisk…fdisk/mbr……format c: …scandisk c: {full scan}
fuck mirco $oft

EditGeneral Strategy
Kazuya is a basic get in close and hit hard character. He has less mobility options than say, Hwoarang, but does more damage. He doesn't do as much damage as Hugo, but he has an easy way of getting in close. Getting in close requires use of his standard Tekken anti-projectile options, Mist Step and Rising Sun. Kazuya has his fair share of solid pokes and frame traps, but his game is more focused on damage. He has a good amount of Tekken strings, but it isn't too difficult for opponents to see what attacks are low and mid, especially with the abundance of Kazuyas out there. Kazuya is meant for players who like to fight close range and don't care much for having a ton of options.
EditUseful Normals
EditStandings.: This is similar to Guile's Spinning Back Knuckle. It has good damage and range.
s.: This is a good fast anti-air.
s.: This is a slower anti-air. It's not Kazuya's best option, but it's there.
EditCrouchingc.: This is Kazuya's best anti-air. It works well even if you react late.
c.: Nothing too special here. Kazuya's sweep only has 6 start up frames, making it one of the faster ones.
EditJumpingj.: This is Kazuya's cross-up.
j.: This is the standard jumping attack you want for damage.
EditUnique AttacksLeft Splits Kick (): This is an overhead attack with slower start-up frames, but it has better range and does more damage.
Right Splits Kick (): This is an overhead attack with faster start-up frames, but it has less range and does less damage.
Oni Front kick (): This move has pretty good range. The great thing about it is that it crumples opponents if it counter hits a crouching opponent.
EditRising SunKazuya leaps towards the opponent with an initial high spinning kick, then follows up with a series of low kicks. Kazuya is airborne and has lower body projectile invincibility. The version hits once and is safe on block. The version hits twice and is unsafe. The hits 3 times and can be followed up with an extra kick. The EX version is fully invincible, and has 2 follow-up options.
EditRoundhouse to Triple Spin Kick (during or EX Spin Kick)
This follow-up option hits mid. Use it to punish low blocking opponents.
EditSweep (during EX Spin Kick)
This follow-up option is an additional low attack.
EditSlaughter Hook (EX:)
Kazuya does a close-range punch attack that hits high. On hit, he will follow up with a mid attack, which ground-bounces the opponent. The EX version is strike invincible.
EditSlaughter Hook High Kick (EX: )
Kazuya does a close-range punch. On hit, he follows up with a kick that hits high. This has a larger hit-box than Slaughter Hook, allowing it to combo in more situations. The EX version is strike invincible.
EditDevastator (EX:)
Kazuya does a close-range punch. On hit, he will follow up with a punch that hits high. This does more damage than Slaughter Hook and Slaughter High Kick. The EX version is strike invincible.
EditDemon God Fist
Kazuya leans in and punches the opponent. This move has upper body armor for 2 frames, allowing you to beat any attacks thrown out with proper timing. The EX version has full body armor for many more frames and an uppercut after the initial hit.

A list of recent matches this team has played, green indicates a win and red a loss. Blue is a draw/cancelled
I don't really like betting on matches with new mix teams, but Cloud9 fans did a great job skewing the odds and this is a great opportunity for a good underdog bet, Cloud9 signed Stewie2k recently as seangares decided to leave the team, I don't like this change as Sean was the best in game leader in North America while Stewie2k is an unexperienced up and coming player, as far as I know n0thing is calling for them right now, it could work as n0thing is very experienced but they need a lot of time to get used to the new playstyle and roles.
Cloud9 struggled against JustMakeItFast yesterday, they were down like 12-8 and managed to come back, that's pretty bad considering JMIF is a new mix of unknown players, that's the only match they played with Stewie2k so far.
WinterFox improved a lot recently, they looked very solid against Enemy eSports yesterday and their team play was on point. WinterFox managed to take down a couple of decent North American teams recently, they pulled off an upset against Enemy eSports yesterday, destroyed vVv 16-1 and 16-3, traded a couple of matches against teams like Method, Denial and SPLYCE, 2-0'd SKDC and tied against SPLYCE. I believe the addition of desi changed a lot, he's insane at holding sites by himself and also very experienced as he played on the top level for a very long time.
I would give WinterFox at least 35-40% chance to win this match, We've seen just a single match with Cloud9's new lineup and they already struggled against a low team, WinterFox could easily upset them here.

Features a sample chapter from
A Gentleman in Moscow, the highly anticipated new audiobook from Amor Towles - available fall 2016. This sophisticated and entertaining first novel presents the story of a young woman whose life is on the brink of transformation. On the last night of 1937, 25-year-old Katey Kontent is in a second-rate Greenwich Village jazz bar when Tinker Grey, a handsome banker, happens to sit down at the neighboring table. This chance encounter and its startling consequences propel Katey on a yearlong journey....
"Perfect narrator for this intriguing book."
"Ninety-five days, and then I'll be safe. I wonder whether the procedure will hurt. I want to get it over with. It's hard to be patient. It's hard not to be afraid while I'm still uncured, though so far the deliria hasn't touched me yet. Still, I worry. They say that in the old days, love drove people to madness. The deadliest of all deadly things: It kills you both when you have it and when you don't."
"Excellent narration"
The Psychopath Test is a fascinating journey through the minds of madness. Jon Ronson's exploration of a potential hoax being played on the world's top neurologists takes him, unexpectedly, into the heart of the madness industry. An influential psychologist who is convinced that many important CEOs and politicians are, in fact, psychopaths teaches Ronson how to spot these high-flying individuals by looking out for little telltale verbal and nonverbal clues.
"Quirky, intriguing and educational."
In Fort Hood housing, like all army housing, you get used to hearing through the walls. You learn too much. And you learn to move quietly through your own small domain. You also know when the men are gone. As Siobhan Fallon shows in this collection of loosely interconnected short stories, each woman deals with her husband's absence differently.
"You know when you've got a great read!"
An eloquent memoir of a young man's life transformed by literature. In A Jane Austen Education, Austen scholar William Deresiewicz turns to the author's novels to reveal the remarkable life lessons hidden within. With humor and candor, Deresiewicz employs his own experiences to demonstrate the enduring power of Austen's teachings. Progressing from his days as an immature student to a happily married man, Deresiewicz's A Jane Austen Education is the story of one man's discovery of the world outside himself.

8 Financial Decisions You'll Regret Forever
By Bob Niedt
Financial regrets. We've all had a few. But there's a big difference between making an impulse purchase that you second-guess the morning after and making a major decision about your money that could haunt you for a lifetime.
We reached out to dozens of financial planners and personal-finance experts for their views on some of the most consequential mistakes people can make with their money. We also offer advice on fixing these mistakes — or avoiding them altogether — so you're not left ruing the day when you blew your budget, wiped out your savings or otherwise sabotaged your financial future. Take a look.
1. Borrowing from your 401(k)
Taking a loan from your 401(k) can be tempting. After all, it's your money. As long as your plan sponsor permits borrowing, you'll usually have five years to pay it back with interest.
But short of an emergency, tapping your 401(k) is a bad idea for many reasons. According to John Sweeney, executive vice president for retirement and investment strategies at Fidelity Investments, you're likely to reduce or suspend new contributions during the period you're repaying the loan. That means you're short-changing your retirement account for months or even years and sacrificing employer matches. You're also missing out on the investment growth from the missed contributions and the cash that was borrowed.
Keep in mind, too, that you'll be paying the interest on that 401(k) loan with after-tax dollars — then paying taxes on those funds again when retirement rolls around. And if you leave your job, the loan usually must be paid back within 60 days. Otherwise, it's considered a distribution and taxed as income.
Before borrowing from a 401(k), explore other loan options. College tuition, for instance, can be covered with student loans and PLUS loans for parents. Major home repairs can be financed with a home-equity line of credit.
2. Claiming Social Security early
You're entitled to start taking benefits at 62, but you probably shouldn't. Most financial planners recommend waiting at least until your full retirement age – currently 66 and gradually rising to 67 for those born after 1959 – before tapping Social Security. Waiting until 70 can be even better.
Let's say your full retirement age, the point at which you would receive 100% of your benefit amount, is 66. If you claim at 62, your monthly check will be reduced by 25% for the rest of your life. But hold off until age 70 and you'll get a 32% boost in benefits – 8% a year for four years – thanks to delayed retirement credits. (Claiming strategies can differ for couples, widows and divorced spouses.)
"If you can live off your portfolio for a few years to delay claiming, do so," says Natalie Colley, a financial analyst at Francis Financial in New York City. "Where else will you get guaranteed returns of 8% from the market?" Alternatively, stay on the job longer, if feasible, or start a side gig to help bridge the financial gap. There are plenty of interesting ways to earn extra cash these days.
3. Paying the minimum on credit cards
Americans' plastic addiction is taking a toll on their bottom lines. The average household with debt owes $15,762 on credit cards, according to personal finance website NerdWallet.com.
"It can take years and years and years to potentially pay off that credit card debt with the amount of mounting interest costs," says H. Kent Baker, professor of finance at the Kogod School of Business at American University, "especially if one continues to charge more and more and more."
Consider this example: You have a $5,000 balance on a card with a fixed rate of 12.5%, typical of what banks are charging these days. If you only make minimum payments, it'll take nearly 10 years and $1,700 in interest to eliminate that $5,000 debt, a Bankrate calculator shows.
What to do? First, stop making new charges. Second, if possible transfer the balance to a lower-rate card. Third, pay more than the minimum. Even a small boost to your monthly payment can result in significant savings on interest. Above all, advises Baker: Live within your means. (Kiplinger's Household Budget Worksheet can help you get back on track.)
4. Putting off saving for retirement
Financial professionals have heard the refrain before: "I'll start saving for retirement when I make more money." But that fiddling while Rome burns won't cut it as retirement nears.
"Many people do not start to aggressively save for retirement until they reach their 40 or 50s,'' says Ajay Kaisth, a certified financial planner with KAI Advisors in Princeton Junction, N.J. "The good news for these investors is that they may still have enough time to change their savings behavior and achieve their goals, but they will need to take action quickly and be extremely disciplined about their savings."
Morningstar calculated how much you need to sock away monthly to reach the magic number of $1 million saved by age 65. Assuming a 7% annual rate of return, you'd need to save $381 a month if you start at age 25; $820 monthly, starting at 35; $1,920, starting at 45; and $5,778, starting at 55.
Uncle Sam offers incentives to procrastinators. Once you turn 50, you can start making catch-up contributions to your retirement accounts. In 2016, that means older savers can contribute an extra $6,000 to a 401(k) on top of the standard $18,000. The catch-up amount for IRAs is $1,000 on top of the standard $5,500.
5. Bankrolling your kids
Sure, you want your children to have the best — best education, best wedding, best everything. And if you can afford it, by all means open your wallet. But footing the bill for private tuition and lavish nuptials at the expense of your own retirement savings could come back to haunt all of you.
"You cannot borrow for your retirement living,'' says Joe Ready, executive vice president of Wells Fargo Institutional Retirement and Trust. "[But] you may have other avenues beyond [borrowing from] your 401(k) plan to help fund a child's education." Instead, Ready says parents and their kids should explore scholarships, grants, student loans and less expensive in-state schools in lieu of raiding the retirement nest egg. Another money-saving recommendation: community college for two years followed by a transfer to a four-year college. (There are many smart ways to save on weddings, too.)
No one plans to go broke in retirement, but it can happen for many reasons. One of the biggest reasons, of course, is not saving enough to begin with. If you're not prudent now, you might end up being the one moving into your kid's basement later.
6. Passing up professional advice when you need it
We all can use a hand once in a while, especially when it comes to tricky aspects of our financial lives. For example, some of the financial professionals we talked to pointed to the panic brought about by the sharp economic downturn in 2008 and 2009. Many individuals poorly timed when to get out of the stock market and when to get back in.
"Investors who aren't very experienced tend to buy high and sell low, when you're supposed to buy low and sell high in the stock market," says Catherine Shenoy, director of applied portfolio management and senior lecturer at the University of Kansas Business School. "That's one way a professional financial adviser can help you."
Advice isn't limited to investments. The right financial pros can assist with everything from taxes and insurance to retirement savings and estate planning. And good advice can pay off for you and your loved ones. Common but avoidable mistakes such as dying without a valid will or failing to designate the correct beneficiaries for your retirement accounts could leave your heirs in limbo and even see your wealth go to the wrong people.
"Not carefully choosing your financial adviser can be a huge mistake," says Andy Tilp, an investment adviser representative with Trillium Valley Financial Planning in Sherwood, Ore. "It is very important to have an adviser who is a fiduciary for the clients and is working solely in the client's best interest. An adviser who sells high-fee, commission-loaded products is helping his own net worth but can be a disaster for the client." (Learn more about what to ask a financial adviser when hiring one.)
7. Avoiding the stock market
Shying away from stocks because they seem too risky is one of the biggest mistakes investors make. True, the market has plenty of ups and downs, but since 1926 stocks have returned an average of about 10% a year. Bonds, CDs, bank accounts and mattresses don't come close.
"Conventional wisdom may indicate the stock market is 'risky' and therefore should be avoided if your goal is to keep your money safe," says Elizabeth Muldowney Samuelson, a financial adviser with Savant Capital Management in Rockford, Ill. "However, this comes at the expense of low returns and, in fact, you have not eliminated your risk by avoiding the stock market, but rather shifted your risk to the possibility of your money not keeping up with inflation."
While there are no guarantees when it comes to stocks, you can lessen the likelihood of taking a big hit. Diversification is the key. Keep your money in a mix of large, small, domestic and foreign stocks. We favor low-cost mutual funds and exchange-traded funds because they offer an affordable way to own a piece of hundreds or even thousands of companies without having to buy individual stocks. If you aren't comfortable picking your own funds, hire a financial adviser to help.
And don't even think about retiring your stock portfolio once you reach retirement age, says Sweeney, of Fidelity Investments. Nest eggs need to keep growing to finance a retirement that might last 30 years. You do, however, need to ratchet down risk as you age by gradually reducing your exposure to stocks.
8. Quitting school
Rarely is the student who skips school going to soar in life, financial planners and experts warn. Sure, you'll dodge the albatross of student loans by not going to college, but the short-term savings could eventually be offset by smaller paychecks and missed promotions.
"All the income studies have shown that college graduates earn two to three times more [on average] than high school graduates," says Shenoy, of the University of Kansas Business School. "Quitting school without your degree really puts you behind the eight ball in terms of your career."
Based on U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics data, a high school graduate working full time will have median lifetime earnings of $1.4 million, while a worker with a bachelor's degree will earn nearly $2.4 million. A doctoral degree leads to median earnings of about $3.4 million over a lifetime.
Remember that what you study can have a big influence on your prospects. Some of the best college majors for your career in terms of future pay and employment opportunities are in the areas of health care, technology and finance. Conversely, majoring in, say, fine arts or design tends to have the poorest financial payoff.

Facts to consider when making your next investment in a process chiller.
SUMMARYThis article describes the necessity of automatic air vents in a closed loop chiller system. Without automatic air vents, you run the risk of pump damage, bio growth, and water hammer damage.
SYMPTOMSA closed loop chiller system has many operational advantages over an open loop (open vented) system. Engineers and installers must consider automatic air removal when designing and installing closed loop applications. Failure to remove all air can result in: Pump damage, bio growth that will cause loop fluid to turn green and water hammer damage to system components.
RESOLUTIONTo prevent such problems, Legacy recommends installation of Hoffman Model # 79 automatic air vents on the supply and return headers. Air vents must be installed at the highpoints in the system. Always follow the parts installation instructions provided by Hoffman. Submittal data on the Hoffman #79 has been attached to this article.

As a cyclist and a mom of two, I am quite familiar with Nashbar's offerings. Over the years it's been the cost effective outlet for my hubby and I to get new gear without breaking the bank.
This year Nashbar is breaking into the 650b market with the $500 Bee's Knees single speed. This is not the first 650b I have played around on and I already enjoy this "tweener" size.
The first thing that caught my eye is the stock gearing, a 38 tooth ring matched with a 16 tooth cassette is a bit of a heavy gear for ascending mountains and seems more apt to commuting. A test of singlespeed uphill charging abilities are definitely ahead.
The bike comes stock with 620mm handlebars which I will likely swap out for something a bit wider for more leverage on climbs. A smaller chainring or bigger cog may be in my future as well. Time will tell.
I've only had a few decent weather days to get a good spin on the bike, and I have minimal complaints thus far. From our smooth rolling home trail to a weekend at Ray's Indoor Mountain Bike Park, the Bee's Knees has performed admirably.
This is my first time on a fully rigid setup and the low-speed technical control is great. The trade off, of course, is no high speed impact dampening. As a girl with a history of poor wrist circulation, a little cushion out front might not be a bad idea for an upgrade
I'm looking forward to many more rides on this budget-friendly single speed. Time will tell if it really is the Bee's Knees. Look for my full review in an upcoming issue of Dirt Rag.

Allegedly assaults teen girl exercising free speech
A professor of feminist studies who specializes in teaching pornography, queer theory and black film is accused of going berserk at a California pro-life demonstration last week, stealing and destroying an anti-abortion sign and assaulting a teen girl who tried to retrieve it.
Police are now investigating the events involving Mireille Miller-Young, who teaches at the University of California, Santa Barbara.
According to the Santa Barbara Independent which first broke the story, Miller-Young came across the pro-life display sponsored by the Christian pro-life group Survivors of the Abortion Holocaust on March 4.
Thirteen members of the group had posted banners and literature which displayed graphic imagery of late-term abortions designed to spark conversations with passing students.
Joan Short, a 21-year-old student at Thomas Aquinas College and a member of the pro-life group, told the paper Miller-Young exchanged heated words, complained about the anti-abortion message, and led the gathering crowd into a chant of "Tear down the sign! Tear down the sign!" before grabbing a banner and walking with it across campus.
As Joan called 9-1-1, her 16-year-old sister, Thrin Short, began recording the events on a smart phone, as the pair followed the professor and two of her students into a building to try to retrieve the banner.
The Independent report states:
As Miller-Young and the students boarded an elevator, Joan said that Thrin repeatedly blocked the door with her hand and foot and that Miller-Young continually pushed her back. Miller-Young then exited the elevator and tried to yank Thrin away from the door while the students attempted to grab her video camera. "As Thrin tried to get away, the professor's fingernails left bloody scratches on her arms," Joan claimed. The struggle ended when Thrin relented, Miller-Young walked away, the students rode up in the elevator, and officers arrived to interview those involved.
"The police did not seem overly concerned about the incident until they saw the video and realized how violent the professor had been," said Kristina Garza, director of campus outreach for the Survivors ministry, which is planning to release video of the conflict.
"[Miller-Young] was definitely leading the group," said Joan. "I sincerely doubt any crime would have been committed if she hadn't been there."
Police later found the sign destroyed.
Miller-Young declined comment to local media, but has reportedly retained legal counsel.
"It is a pending matter, so it is not appropriate to comment at this time," said attorney Catherine Swysen. "We will let the process take its course. I am confident that it will become clear that the events did not unfold as the anti-choice demonstrators say they did."
Joan Short on her blog noted: "Nothing like this has ever happened to me before and I hope it will never happen again, but it did not destroy the work that we did. We were able to handle individuals. What we did not expect to encounter was a professor inciting a mob. Although we were interrupted, we reached a lot of students."
The incident even captured the attention of top-rated radio host Rush Limbaugh, who commented Wednesday about the professor:
So what do we have here? We have hyphenated name? Check. Teaches multicultural nonsense? Check. Attracted to perverted and worthless areas of academic emphasis? Check. Instinct to lash out violently at those who disagree with her? Check. Resorts to violence when she doesn't get her way? Check. Logical conclusion: She is a madcap leftist and she has tenure. She is teaching young skulls full of mush, inculcating them with this worthless drivel that their parents are paying through the nose for.
Now, you might say, "Rush this has always gone on." Not to this degree, folks.
The higher education curriculum has been in the process of being corrupted by militant feminazis for I don't know how long, but it is continuing to normalize what 10 years ago were extremes. The extremes 10 years ago are the normal today. The extremes 15 ago are the normal. A professor teaching a course in black cultural studies, pornography, and sex work on her faculty Web page?
You don't think people being educated with this kind of drivel are gonna come out of school confused and thinking they've actually learned something? And this is just one professor at one school with one particular area of the curriculum, and it's happening all over.

Democrats understand that when they are losing a political fight, their best move is to change the political lexicon. When progressivism fails, they become liberals; when liberalism fails, they become progressives. Now they're using that rhetorical trickery to try to save the wildly unpopular centerpiece of President Obama's first term: Obamacare.
Obamacare sets up what were originally termed state health care "exchanges." These "exchanges" were supposedly set up to pool risk between health care insurance companies. Of course, if the market saw a benefit in such pooling, it would have done so already. In fact, many insurance companies already pool risks to broaden their enrollment.
But pooling risk isn't the Obama administration's real agenda. Actually, the exchanges are meant to pay insurance companies to implement Obamacare. In order to qualify for the exchanges, insurance companies can only charge certain prices and must cover certain services. But that means that the government – i.e. taxpayers – must subsidize the exchanges to make them work. If states refuse to set up the Obamacare exchanges, the federal government is supposed to set up its own exchanges, making that cost federal.
Freedomworks has led the charge in explaining that if state refuse to set up exchanges, Obamacare is dead on arrival. The federal government cannot absorb the $10 billion to $100 billion cost per year per state of the exchanges. And if there are no state or federal exchanges, there is nothing for the IRS to enforce – the employer mandate "tax" cannot be implemented if there is no exchange available.
The Obama administration now recognizes the danger of their self-created "exchange" problem. So they have a solution: exchanges will now be termed "marketplaces." Freedomworks director of healthcare policy Dean Clancy says the terminology shift shows that Obamacare is in serious trouble: "I think the patient-centered care movement can chalk up a minor victory here. If they're trying to re-label, it means they're flailing …. They could call them motherhood or apple pie, but it wouldn't change our feelings about them."

the Order's Zephyr Resort and Shallows
Like the Order, powers and abilities do not work here. Missions and Quests are an exception, the Owner's powers also work.
The Zephry Resort and Shallows is a island resort built upon the ruins of an old Covenant. Because of what is was built upon, the Resort is themed in a very ancient way. It's only car accessible roads are the very ones that connect the resort to the Empire Connecting Super Bridge and the large underground carpark. The islands first came to be just after the foundation of the Legion of Kwandrivia Nations when it, like the Murkwood Keys rose from the depths of the ocean. Shortly after the island rose from the ocean, a new owner took claim to it and began building Kwandrivia's second largest resort company. Now, all the needs of one looking to relax and have fun are here. the Order so made an agreement with the owner that Zephry Resort was to become property and part of the Order's Territory.Topics: 1

Motorola's WiMax Ecosystem
June 16, 2006
The company's wireless 4G brand MOTOwi4 will add mobile WiMax to the mix next year, including WiMax-capable phone handsets.
Motorola has announced its plans to develop what the company calls a comprehensive ecosystem for personal broadband on the go. The aim is to support Motorolas MOTOwi4 wireless broadband strategy by working with a range of different companies to ensure that mobile WiMax becomes both affordable and widely available.
David Coombes, Senior Vice President of Wireless Broadband Networks and CTO for Motorola Networks and Enterprise, says companies have to work together to offer a total end-to-end solution to the customer. This has to be a standard thats supported by the industry if its going to really take off, he says.
Carriers need access to a complete product ecosystem, Coombes says, to feel comfortable taking the leap into WiMax. You always like to sell your stuff exclusively to an operator, but history has shown that operators would like to have two suppliers for their stuff and so its important that other large manufacturers are present in the marketplace, he says.
Motorolas WiMax strategy, Coombes says, is focused strictly on 802.16e, or mobile WiMax when mobility is an option, he says, theres no point in offering a fixed solution as well. Similarly, Coombes says WiMax doesnt compete with Motorolas 802.11n strategy. Its really a different focus, he says. WiMax is wide area, while 802.11 technology has a more limited range.
The eventual aim is to have a system that offers the same kind of mobility as cellular does today. We expect handsets on these systems to be fully mobile, Coombes says. Theyll have multi-mode capability in other words, cellular capability, whether its GSM- or CDMA-based technologies, plus WiMax, plus Wi-Fi.
A multi-mode solution, Coombes says, is really the only way to get these kinds of systems implemented. With the dual-mode units, a GSM operator could start installing a WiMax network, and theyll start off from the core of the city and work their way out, putting more and more traffic onto the system as they build it out, he says.
Coombes says Motorola will be shipping systems for production in the first quarter of next year. Well actually be in trials with mobility this year that was announced last year with Sprint and we expect volume handsets to start towards the end of 07 or early 08, he says.
The name MOTOwi4 is a play on the words Motorola, wireless and 4G. A lot of companies have been calling this stuff Max this or Max that, Coombes says. We really wanted them to see that its more than just WiMax its really setting the stage for operators to go to 4G.

Was randomly checking my email today and got a note from WordPress informing me that this site was viewed over 5,000 times last year. Which is sort of astonishing since I haven't been here in almost nine months.
I've actually been here, at writejanewrite.wordpress.com.
So, if you were looking for more of same, you could try looking there. Or if you just want the cheat sheet, I'll just tell you that I now talk more about my books, vent slightly less about gender issues, and obsess over starting a pug farm.
Yes. To live pugs, to breed pugs, to die pugs.
If that doesn't scare you off, you should totally stop by.

ROBSTOWN, Texas-- A South Texas man has been charged in the stabbing death of his mother at an apartment in Robstown.
Nueces County jail records show 29-year-old Gualberto Marines III was being held without bond Saturday on a murder charge.
Robstown police on Thursday night answered a neighbor's call about a woman yelling for help. Investigators say 47-year-old Rosalinda Marines was in the home and had been stabbed several times. She died at the scene.
Her son was booked into jail on Friday. An attorney for Marines could not immediately be reached for comment.
