Favor Holding of Republican
Convention in Fall to Change
Selection of Delegates.
Representation Should Be in Pro
portion to the Republican
Vote and Chosen Any
Way States Wish.
Washington, Feb. 1!). The piospect of
holding a republican convention next tall
tn revise the rules governing the selection
of national deb-gates, ami to change, the
bisls of southern representation at rrgu
lar rcpulilkan conventions, wns stiongth
curd to-day through expressions favoring
the proposed national gathering by Sen
ator Root of New York and Senator
Crinr of M issacliusctls.
Pi matnl for a republican convention
; is ie n based on the desire to make
f h .bances that States will have the
n, .rtanllv to select their delegates
toro-igh primaries or otherwise and to
c .t down tho number of delegates from
ates having a light republican vote.
Im am in favor of holding a cpuhllcan
r invention at pome convenient time next
fat1 or winter," said Senator Itnot. who
was rualrm.in of the Chicago convention
last .Tune "for the purpose of doing two
t iingp'
First To make representations In na
tion ,il conventions proportional to the ic
publican vote, that Is correcting the dis
proportion In what Is spoken of as the
(on t hern n presentation.
Second To permit the republicans of
en h State to elect delegate to national
conventions In their own wav so that the
i holec in each State will be regulated ac
cording to the laws of the State,
"In ord r that these changes shall
lie effective' In n convention to nom
inate a president, thoy must be made
before that convention, and that can
be done only by a special convention.
The national committee Is still bound
bv the old rules which were adopted
by the convention of 1SS0. They will
lio.e to call the next convention just
ns they did the last one, under the.su
riles unless, a special convention is
railed to make the changes which our
tnlnly ought to be mado."
Senator Crane also endoised the
convention plan, "f am In favor of
lioldlng ii republican national conven
tion for the purpose of changing tho
basis of representation In proportion
to the republican vote and also to
amend the rules for tho election of
delegates, In such manner as may bo
deemed wise," said Senator Crane.
" History has shown that a rhunge In
the basis of representation Is not
likely to be made at n nominating
convention and this emphasizes the
necessity of a special convention."
No deflnlto steps have yet benn taken
toward Issuing a call for the conven
tion. Expressions by members of
various factions of the party Indicate
that efforts will be made to bring re
publicans from all States together
within the present year for tho revl
plon plans.

The most dlsastrou.- flro which

The signs and symptoms of senior financial abuse
Eileen Beal | 3/13/2013, 8:41 a.m.
According to Page Ulrey of Seattle's King County Prosecutor's Office, "Those who are being abused are often dependent on their abuser for their care and don't want to [take them to court] because of the repercussions it would cause. Or they fear they will be sent to a nursing home. Or they fear — or love — the offender."
Frequently, too, she said, "They are ashamed to admit that they have been taken advantage of."
Ulrey stressed that it is often difficult to prosecute exploiters. That's not only because of the reasons mentioned above, but also because the victim has died or is so cognitively impaired he or she cannot testify. To keep a vulnerable relative or loved one out of harm's way, concerned friends or family members must be proactive. The earlier deterrents and roadblocks are set in place, the better, she said.
One time-tested strategy for keeping financial abusers at bay, Ulrey said, is for an elder's friends and family members to stay connected. "Financial abuse and exploitation occurs in the shadows, where people are isolated from those who could spot the signs that something isn't right," she said.
Stevic-Rust emphasized that it's important to become hyper-vigilant in observing a vulnerable senior's physical health and cognitive state. "Declines in both can make them vulnerable to manipulation and exploitation," she explained.
Those assisting the at-risk person should help him or her get information about exploitative situations, schemes or scams they may encounter and to become better educated about their finances.
It would also be valuable to help the senior consult with legal or financial professionals who can draw up such documents as trusts, limited powers of attorney or conservatorships. "These can, and for the most part do, deter financial exploiters," Ulrey said.
If you suspect someone is being financially abused, it is important to report your concerns to local authorities. The National Adult Protective Services Association's website (www.napsa-now.org) lists adult protective services departments in every state.
"This site doesn't just have the telephone numbers for reporting financial abuse, they take anonymous tips too," said Executive Director Kathleen Quinn.
If all else fails, you may be able to file for a protection order. "This will limit the contact the abuser has with their victim — and perhaps protect assets, too," Ulrey said.

How to Paint a Ceiling
Three Methods:Knowing When to Call a ContractorPrepping Your CeilingPainting Your CeilingCommunity Q&A
People are so often caught up with painting walls and decorating their house in different fashions, that ceilings are frequently overlooked. Ceilings, however, have rather large effect on the overall ambience, outlook and lighting of your home or apartment. Walls notably carry eye-level color and decorations, but ceilings set the tone for the character and comfort of your home or apartment for you and your loved ones. Ceilings are more difficult to paint than walls, but prudent care and a discerning touch will make this project well worth your while.
Knowing When to Call a Contractor
1If your walls are textured, consider calling a contractor for best results. An acoustic ceiling, better known as a popcorn ceiling, or knockdown ceiling is best painted with spray materials. For this reason, it's best to use a professional contractor who is licensed to do the job.
2If you have a drywall ceiling that's in need of repair, consider hiring a drywall contractor to touch things up before going on to painting. Ask the drywall contractor to do a skim coat to smooth out the ceiling; adjusting the coat on the drywall before you paint will make the ceiling sparkle and glisten after the coat of paint has been applied.
Prepping Your Ceiling
1Stock up on supplies. For ceilings, specifically, use a thick-nap roller with an extension pole rather than a paint brush. These types of rollers will ensure a smooth layer of paint without bumps or bubbles. Additionally, you may need:
- A ladder
- A paint tray and liner
- A wall brush for covering edges
- Spackle and a putty knife for holes
- Caulking and a caulking gun for cracks in corners
2Choose your color. Most ceilings are painted white because of their reflective qualities, making a room seem brighter and larger than it may really be. However, you may want to consider which particular shade of white you prefer; specifically, which one will go best with the color of your walls?
- A standard bright white may play off of a richer wall hue more, causing too much of a distinction and ruining the taste of the room. Look for mellow shades of white or hues of eggshell if you feel that a bolder white might be too much of a contrast.
- Flat paint is the best type of paint for ceilings because of its smooth viscosity. Flat paint will help hide any imperfections in the ceiling.
3Move your furniture and prepare your room. Try to move as much of your furniture as possible out of the way of your work. This may not be possible if you live in an apartment or have extremely heavy and large couches, tables, beds and other pieces of furniture which may not be easily transportable to another room. If you find yourself in that scenario, drape plastic over all of your furniture to protect it from dripping paint.
- Do not, however, use plastic on your floor, as it will bunch, crinkle and shift, hardly protecting it from paint. Instead, lay thick drop cloth evenly across your floor. Also be sure to properly protect your windows, sills and floorboards with plastic.
4Use painter's tape to mask the area around the trim, as well as where the wall meets the ceiling. If you're going to be painting your walls after you paint your ceiling, you won't have to do this, although preserving an even finish by taping may still be your best bet.
5Prime the walls before you paint. Priming ensures that you'll only have to give the ceiling one coat of paint. A primer will help stick to the ceiling and absorb the coat of paint, like a sponge absorbing water.
- For best results, use a primer with stain-blocker. Stain-blockers cover up unsightly stains on walls, such as watermarks, smoke, and nicotine, and keep them from bleeding through into the paint after the primer has been applied.
Painting Your Ceiling
1If necessary, cut in along the corners with a wall brush or an angled brush. If you're not covering the edges of the wall with painter's tape, you'll want to use an angled brush to cut in along the edges of the ceiling, where the trim meets the wall. Cover the entire corner of the ceiling before working inward.
2While the cut in line is still wet, paint the ceiling with your roller. You paint while the cut in line is still wet to prevent a clear line from forming between the edge and the center of the ceiling Dip your roller into the paint tray and coat evenly, making sure that excess paint has been driven from the roller.
- Using zigzagging lines, cover the ceiling lightly with paint. While zigzagging with your roller, create "W" or "V" shapes without ever removing the roller from the surface of the ceiling.
- Never lay too much pressure on your roller, it may cause uneven textures to blot along your ceiling.
3Paint in sections until the entire ceiling is covered with zigzags. When you're done with a sections, blend it with the previous section. Don't worry too much about creating a uniform look just yet; you'll blend everything together beautifully in the next step.
4Go over the zigzags with straight lines on your roller. This will help even out the paint and create a firm visual appeal. If you've applied a primer coat, you shouldn't need to apply a second coat of paint.
5Treat your vaulted ceiling like a wall. Contrary to a flat ceiling, vaulted ceilings can be painted like a wall. Start in a corner of the ceiling and work your way down to the wall in straight-lines, with each consecutive line slightly overlapping the one before. Be smooth and consistent with all of your strokes.

Community Q&A
How can I repair a ceiling that has paint peeling off of it due to moisture?wikiHow ContributorScrape the loose peeling paint and prime the areas where the paint peeled. Then, depending on how large the areas are, use joint compound.
What is the easiest way to paint around pot lights?wikiHow ContributorMask off the edges of your light and use a brush to paint a 6" by 6" square with the can light in the center. Do this for each light, then use a roller to fill in around the fixture.
Does a ceiling need to be washed before re-painting?wikiHow ContributorIt's recommended to always wash a surface before painting. Use a diluted sugar soap solution and a cloth to wipe walls clean.
Do I have to use oil based primer on ceilings?wikiHow ContributorNo, you do not have to use it.
Which paint finish should I use for a vaulted ceiling in a conservatory?
Do I need to pole sand the ceiling after priming it?
Is ceiling paint supposed to be really runny like water or should it be thicker?
- Once you start painting a ceiling, do not quit and restart later. Unlike a layered wall, you will likely notice the different drying spots on your ceiling if you splice your job into different times.
- Drywall surfaces should be repaired of any holes/tape splits/cracks prior to any kind of paint/primer/topcoat application
- It is important to ensure that the room being painted is not too warm, or dry, because this will cause the paint to dry too quickly, in turn making it difficult to maintain a wet edge (a constant wet edge reduces the likeliness where you will see stopping points in the final painting product)
- All the ceiling areas should be clear of dust/cobwebs prior
- Areas below the ceiling working area should be taped/tarped and clear of debris
- Lighting is pertinent. Areas exposed to natural light on a regular basis need special attention so that you don't see stop and go points or roller and brush edges. We often use a shop light when done with ceiling painting to make sure there are no missed spots. (holidays)
- Allotting enough time for primed and/or water stained blocker to dry is important. (often can only need 30 minutes)
- Be sure that all paint/primer is new, clean paint
- Painters should utilize cleaned and conditioned brushes and roller naps for premium finishes
- Ladders and scaffolding must be clean and safe for workers and customers
- Final clean up should make sure there is no dirt on the floor or paint drips on the ground/furniture/trim

At the premiere for the second season of Powers, Sony PlayStation's first and only original streaming series, I found myself chatting with Michael Madsen about our travels to Thailand. "You have to watch yourself in Bangkok," cautioned Madsen. "Make a wrong turn and weird things can happen."
In the second season of Powers—a superhero-charged crime procedural based on the graphic novel of the same name—wrong turns are made and things definitely happen. After a first season that needed better writing and narrative rhythm, brutal cliffhangers inject the right amount of mystery and attitude into the new episodes. Madsen plays SuperShock, a soulful and supremely powerful former superhero who's forced by violent circumstances to don his superhero outfit after 40 years. "That's a one-piece outfit," says Madsen. "It's hard to get in and out of. So I went to a bank in Atlanta to make a transfer—in the superhero outfit. The bank teller didn't know what to think because I didn't have any ID. There's no place for it in the costume. Eventually, she called the bank manager who recognized me."
Initially the series showed promise, but it couldn't quite find its voice. "Last year, it was all about getting our feet wet," says Shawn Layden, chairman of Sony Interactive Entertainment Worldwide. "We all learned a lot about story. We have to be true to our gaming audience, and in a couple of months you'll be hearing announcements about more shows. But this year, Powers is really about better narrative and building the plots."
With a new show runner and generally tighter scripts, Powers can indeed blend shock with nuance. You really don't see a suicide coming, for instance, especially since the sad deed is done by a generally sympathetic character. It's a darker, more devious Powers. That feels right for a show that's as much about spoofing pop culture as it's inspired by David Simon's taut non-fiction tome Homicide: A Year on the Killing Streets.
What happens? After the death of Retro Girl, the superhero who watches over, well, everything, chaos builds among evildoing factions. There's a vacuum that needs to be filled. That's where Olesya Rulin's Calista steps in. While wearing one of Retro Girl's outfits, she learns how to use her powers. She becomes a pickup truck thrower and a tough puncher who nearly beats her abusive deadbeat dad to death. Rulin, who's been acting since she was a child, explains: "Calista is a young character trying to find her place. One of the things I asked was, 'What does her vengeance plan really mean?'" Sitting alone in a room contemplating revenge along with Calista's new-found powers "allowed me to go deeper—much deeper."
Rulin says Calista "saw Retro Girl as the last promise of her childhood, the last promise that everything was going to be OK. As long as Retro Girl was there, she was going to make it. When (Calista) steps into that costume, she thinks it'll be like she a security blanket. Maybe if she has just a little piece of her, she thinks she will feel safe and will feel sane again. But when she does that, she realizes that's not what this Calista is about." It's a personality that becomes far more complex. It can be sadistic. Even worse, it can be addicting. "Once she's in," says Rulin, "she can't get out."
In this election year of shenanigans, thinly veiled lies and pure racism, Powers' satire of the media is spot on. "It's not just Trump and it isn't that the media's nastier," says Brian Michael Bendis, the show's executive producer and the co-originator of the Powers comic. "We've been dealing with the media since the first issue of the graphic novel. We ask, how does the media treat superheroes? It's similar to how they treat actors and musicians. They build them up. But when will they knock them down? It's grotesque and it's weird and I'm never not fascinated by it."
Throughout this season, you'll see how the media manipulates the story. "My character brings people the truth—that's the way I see it," says Jason Wesley, who plays Terence Pelham, a TV news host who's like Larry King meets Bill O'Reilly meets Don Lemon. "We have to find out why Retro Girl was killed, and we have to get some people pretty upset in order to do that. It's freedom of the press at whatever cost." In the episode called "Hell Night," Pelham's aggressive field reporter gets a riled up mob to break into a store just so the event can lead the 24-hour news cycle.
Says Bendis, "We wanted to amp things up this season. But we had to figure out how to do it so that it wasn't imitating the comic book. Because that would be death." So they hired a new cinematographer, new production designer, even made a Mad Men-like show introduction. There's a bigger budget for special effects, too. "If you're doing it right, you get more money the second time around," says Sony's Layden.
That doesn't mean some things don't need to be more carefully edited. While Powers is set in a re-imagined Los Angeles, one scene prominently shows a billboard displaying a well-known street in Atlanta, where the show is filmed. And while the score properly raises tension at just the right time, the dramatic pop songs used to elicit emotion can jar you out of the experience like a crash throws you out of a car. Finally, there's a little too much reliance on using TV news to move along the plot.
Still, it's more compelling this year. As action combines with melodrama, the characters seem tormented by an abiding gloom that emanates from within their souls. It's not the overriding darkness of, say, Netflix's arresting Bloodline. Powers lets up to inject humor and even sexual satire, as in a scene in a blood red-hued sex club: One character rides a swing, fireworks raining down from up his butt. "You probably won't see that in any other show," says Bendis, who wrote that episode.
As the lights came up at the theater, after the season premiere's gut-wrenching finale, Michael Madsen squirmed in his seat. He already knew Powers was a good gig for him, a role that released him from the villain archetype and even allowed for the occasional improvisation. But there was more to it. As Layden walked over to him, Madsen leaned forward. "That show was good," he said to Layden. "That was something."

Except that there is no method of updating the on-disk label without updating thein-core one. Indeed you need to stop the on-disk one being read back in as well. David

Old God forces
Says they came to subdue the OG.Originally Posted by Blizzard Entertainment
Also, the Tribunal of ages says the Titans came back to fight the OG after the OG screwed up their development of Azeroth.
Abedneum yells: Accessing. In the early stages of its development cycle Azeroth suffered infection by parasitic, necrophotic symbiotes.
Brann Bronzebeard yells: Necro-what? Speak bloody common will ya?
Abedneum yells: Designation: Old Gods. Old Gods rendered all systems, including Earthen defenseless in order to facilitate assimilation. This matrix destabilization has been termed the Curse of Flesh. Effects of destabilization increased over time.
Brann Bronzebeard yells: Old Gods eh? So they zapped the Earthen with this Curse of Flesh. And then what?
Kaddrak yells: Accessing. Creators arrived to extirpate symbiotic infection. Assessment revealed that Old God infestation had grown malignant. Excising parasites would result in loss of host--
Brann Bronzebeard yells: If they killed the Old Gods Azeroth would have been destroyed.
