Spawned by frustration with the status quo and fueled by anti-union sentiment, a new money-manager style of Republican activism is taking hold in Illinois with the potential to reshape the political landscape heading into the 2014 statewide elections.
Venture capitalists and hedge fund directors have been writing six-figure donations with increasing frequency since the 2010 state elections and are spending big on the presidential and congressional races, taking advantage of the new era of super political action committees that can raise and spend unlimited amounts of money on campaigns.
The Nov. 6 contests for the White House and Congress are only part of the picture for the new cadre of wealthy financiers who are looking to magnify their impact by focusing on state and local politics. They are not putting much money into state Republicans' slim chances of reversing Democratic control of the Legislature this year, but insiders expect their influence to grow dramatically with statewide offices, including U.S. senator and governor on the ballot two years from now.
The leaders of the new movement include Bruce Rauner, a wealthy venture capitalist and private equity specialist who is a potential candidate for governor. Framing his argument in apocalyptic terms, Rauner lambastes public employee unions and says only a political revolution can pull Illinois out of an economic "death spiral."
Also stepping into a new activist role are mega-donors Kenneth Griffin, who founded the hedge fund firm Citadel LLC, and Anne Dias Griffin, who founded her hedge fund firm, Aragon Global Management. The husband and wife have donated more than $6.1 million to candidates and causes at the state and federal level since 1998.
Dias Griffin is the force behind a new social media operation, Reboot Illinois, that calls itself nonpartisan but has echoed GOP critiques on topics from public worker pensions to improving the business climate and school funding.
The influx of dollars from investment managers represents a generational shift in the funding of Republican candidates and interests in Illinois. The industrialists who traditionally donated to the state GOP are graying, and their publicly traded companies have been bought and sold in a world market where CEOs are transitional and less inclined to publicly play politics.
At the same time, the investment entrepreneurs are younger and more results oriented than their older counterparts and are unwilling to simply give money to a candidate and walk away.
"Why do you want to spend money if nothing's going to happen? The old traditional silk-stocking, lakefront white-bread Republican who would just write a check out of force of habit doesn't exist anymore," said Ronald Gidwitz, managing partner of the investment firm GCG Partners and a former GOP candidate for governor.
"Guys want to win, and if you can't win, they'll find other races where they can. If we don't produce, why would people invest a second time?" said Gidwitz, who also is co-founder of The New Prosperity Foundation super PAC, which has raised nearly $1 million this year and is aligned behind Republicans in six state congressional races.
There is one politician many in this new class of political players can agree on — Democratic Mayor Rahm Emanuel.
The new mayor made millions during a stint as an investment banker, including a deal involving Rauner's firm. In Emanuel, the investment community sees an activist mayor willing to make tough decisions who also is part of their social, financial and business sphere.
The genesis of the new investor-led movement can be found in the 2010 push to curb collective bargaining rights for public school teachers, when Rauner brought the Oregon-based Stand for Children group to the state. He got some of the city's leading investors and storied financial names to provide millions of dollars in seed money.
Since September 2010, the Stand for Children Illinois PAC has raised nearly $3.7 million, including $500,000 from Kenneth Griffin.
The Griffins also gave Emanuel a combined $200,000 for his election bid in 2010 while, at the same time, providing a combined $450,000 to Bill Brady, the GOP's unsuccessful candidate for governor that year. They also have donated $1.5 million in the last two years to American Crossroads, the super PAC co-founded by Karl Rove that backs GOP candidates and causes. Kenneth Griffin also has sent more than $1 million to Restore Our Future, the super PAC aligned with GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney.
Griffin and Dias Griffin declined to comment. But in a Tribune interview this year, Griffin said the ultra-wealthy "actually have an insufficient influence," and need to be more involved.
"Those who have enjoyed the benefits of our system more than ever now owe a duty to protect the system that has created the greatest nation on this planet," he said.
Stand for Children led a successful effort at the Democratic-controlled Statehouse to change state law and make it harder for Chicago teachers to strike. The push increased tension between the Chicago Teachers Union and Emanuel, contributing to a strike that kept most Chicago public schools closed for seven days in September.
On the day the strike was resolved, Rauner blasted public employee unions and weak government leaders for contributing to the state's dire financial straits and offered a strategy for fellow conservatives during a political seminar.
"I think we can drive a wedge issue in the Democratic Party on that topic — that real folks will say, 'You know what? For our tax dollars, I'd rather help the disadvantaged, the handicapped, the elderly, the children in poverty. I'd rather have my tax dollars going to that than the SEIU or "AF-Scammy" who are out there for their own interests,'" Rauner said, referring to two of the state's most influential labor organizations — the Service Employees International Union and the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees.
Rauner has said he talks to Emanuel "all the time on a lot of topics" and was appointed by the mayor to the city's economic development and job creation council. But he was decidedly pessimistic about the state's job-creation prospects at the seminar.
Because of his lack of confidence in the state's government institutions, "if we were going to invest in a plant that would come to Illinois, I'd like to say yes, but I'd have to say no." He commiserated with other business leaders who talked of leaving Illinois.
"We have got to change the direction of our state," Rauner said in the speech. "And the rest of us in this business community who've been here for our whole lives have to say, 'Enough. No more. We're not going to stay in this death spiral.'"
Rauner declined to elaborate on his role in politics beyond the speech and called questions about a bid for governor unproductive "speculation." He has made nearly $1.7 million in state and federal political donations since 1998, campaign finance records show, including a sizable share to Democrats. In addition to contributions to Emanuel, Rauner gave $200,000 to former Mayor Richard M. Daley, $250,000 to current CTA head Forrest Claypool and a combined $65,000 to the Democratic National Committee and the Democrats' congressional campaign committee.
More recent donations have been targeted largely to Republicans, including $100,000 contributions each to the state GOP and the state House Republican political organization in 2010, $50,000 to U.S. Sen. John McCain's failed 2008 presidential bid and $50,000 to the pro-Romney Restore Our Future, records show.
Gidwitz said the donations from Republican-oriented financiers to Emanuel represent a "hope that Rahm will deliver on his promises."
"One of the things Rahm seems to be doing is making those hard decisions," Gidwitz said. "Everything he said he'd tried to do, it appears he's trying to do it."
One Republican campaign consultant, who was not authorized to speak publicly about working with the money-manager crowd, said they demand results.
"All these people, they make decisions based on data, on ROI (return on investment), based on performance. That's how they make money," the consultant said. "You can't just call up these folks and say 'I'm a Republican. I need money.' What is your plan? How do you get across the finish line. What's your ROI? What's your approach?"
And it appears that the investment community will pull back if results aren't delivered.
"They're no longer interested in jumping behind (someone) who has tried and failed," the consultant said. "They want to do it themselves because the (politicians) at the head tables haven't done it."
The investment community provided substantial seed money, including $190,000 from the Griffins, to the Two Party System Inc. PAC that in 2010 spent more than $800,000 to back state House GOP candidates and campaigns. But promises of major pickups against Democrats never materialized. Through the first half of this election year, the PAC has made no contributions.
Rauner has indicated that his indictment of the Illinois political scene goes beyond just the Democrats who control Springfield.
"The politicians here are so weak, so incapable of leading, they've just decided to sort of let the circumstances, let the bond market force the change, let the tax revolt force the change because they won't lead. We have got to replace the leaders," Rauner said.

Avery Bowron wakes up and takes a shower with water warmed by two solar panels on the roof of the garage. He eats breakfast on counters made from recycled paper and cashew resin. And before heading to class, he takes his fruit peels, coffee grounds and uneaten bread crust downstairs and throws them in a box containing hundreds of slimy wriggling red worms.
Another day has begun for the four students who live at Macalester College's Project EcoHouse, a green-living laboratory that looks unassuming from the curb, but is a blockbuster of sustainability.
Campus ecology is catching on in a big way at both small and large campuses around the state, offering students a unique housing option. It's a movement that's being driven by energy cost savings along with growing interest among students and faculty.
At the University of Minnesota Morris, for example, the goal is total energy self-sufficiency. By 2010, the entire campus will be heated by two giant wind turbines and a biomass burner. Morris is also in the process of building a residence hall that incorporates sustainable or green building design.
St. Olaf College in Northfield is putting sustainability and environmental design into action with several projects. A new science center aims to achieve a LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) "Gold" rating from the U.S. Green Council. It also has a giant wind turbine that generates about a third of the energy for the college. A composter keeps 250,000 pounds of waste from its food-service operation out of landfills.
Macalester began renovating its eco-house last summer using green building techniques aimed at capturing the savings from energy upgrades to repay capital renovation costs. Once the capital costs are repaid to the Clean Energy Revolving Fund (CERF), the college will realize the ongoing savings.
Student Justin Lee was put in charge of the green renovation and used the three R's of recycling -- reduce, reuse and recycle -- to establish remodeling priorities on a $50,000 budget.
They kept the flooring and kitchen cabinets, refashioned one cabinet as a center island, and bought a recycled bathroom mirror from the ReUse Center in Minneapolis.
Ongoing savings are expected to come from the pricier modifications to the house, a typical midcentury rambler. A steel roof that looks like a traditional asphalt shingle roof has a 50-year guarantee and will most likely last 70 years. Though it was twice as expensive, it will last three to four times longer than a typical shingle roof and can be recycled when it's time to replace it. The water heater is hooked up to a holding tank and two solar panels on the garage roof; it is supplemented by a traditional gas water heater for heavy use and cloudy days.
Chris Wells, assistant professor of environmental studies and founder of the eco-house concept, hopes that neighbors will be inspired by the house and apply some of the concepts to their own houses. In addition, grant money from the Xcel Energy Foundation will be used for community outreach and education through a website and seminars that will treat the house as a laboratory for sustainability in action.
The college hopes to install a sophisticated monitoring system that will track consumption of electricity and other resources. The students and the administration are hoping to show that using a solar water heater, Energy Star-rated appliances and compact fluorescent bulbs can be cost-effective.
Eventually, the college hopes to apply some of the same principles to other buildings on campus.
Austin Werth, a housemate and environmental studies major who jumped at the chance to be one of the first occupants of EcoHouse, said that the opportunity to live in such unconventional student housing is not about sacrifice, but about fulfilling his needs. "I will always be aware of my energy use and waste - it's how I can be happy," he said. "Once you are aware of the steps you can take, you can't not do it."
Other housemates celebrate the pleasures of cooking for each other with locally grown and organic foods and then sharing a meal. They have an indoor herb garden and compost food scraps in a basement worm bin that will produce soil for their indoor and outdoor edible plants.
Perhaps one day, all college life will begin with worm feeding and checking the previous day's energy consumption. Until then, I am hoping that more colleges will put their money into green housing to save resources and teach practical life lessons that extend far beyond the college campus.

Midori Haus, a Passive House retrofit in Santa Cruz California and a Thousand Home Challenge candidate, used 4,334 kWh during the first year of occupancy. This is 80% reduction compared to the energy used by the previous owner of the house (21,928 kWh). This was achieved by using Passive House approach with solar thermal system. (We did not use PV to offset electricity). You can read more about it at the Midori Haus blog.
Our house will be open for tour after the Building Carbon Zero Monterey event on 3/26/2014. For more info and tickets visit http://www.co2zeroca.org

They're making billions now, but even the founders of Google Inc. and Microsoft Corp. had to bow down and apply for a job at one point in their careers.
An old copy of Sergey Brin's resume is making its way around the web, showcasing his work, research and hacks before co-founding Google /quotes/zigman/93888/delayed /quotes/nls/goog GOOG with Larry Page while they were Ph.D. students at Stanford back in 1998.
Brin, now worth $31 billion, buried his objective in the document's HTML code — right-click and select "inspect element" to view source code, and this pops up:
<!–
Objective:
 A large office, good pay, and very little work. Frequent expense-account trips to exotic lands would be a plus.–>
The resume was posted on Hacker News Friday and first discovered by Business Insider.
Back then, Brin was working on a Netflix-like movie-rating project written in Python that would predict which movies you may want to watch based on other users' reviews. Today, Brin runs the secretive Google X, a laboratory exploring the latest in tech futurism including self-driving cars, Google Glass and contact lenses that measure glucose.
Last year, the Living Computer Museum unveiled the resumes of Microsoft co-founders Bill Gates and Paul Allen from 1974, according to the Huffington Post. Gates' net worth is $76 billion today, but the richest man on the planet got by on just $15,000 a year 40 years ago. Adjusted for inflation, $15,000 in 1974 equals about $69,914 in 2013 — not bad for a freshman at Harvard.

Apple\'s new alliance with IBM represents a dramatic reversal from one of the most famous TV ads in history. In 1984, Apple portrayed Big Blue as an Orwellian "Big Brother," and itself as IBM's daring, heroic Silicon Valley challenger.
The ad, directed by Ridley Scott, features a dystopic future in which a Big Brother character is speaking to a group of zombie-like followers through a cinema screen. An unnamed heroine being chased by security forces then hurls a hammer at the image of Big Brother, shattering the screen. A voice then says: "On January 24, Apple Computer will introduce Macintosh. And you'll see why 1984 won't be like \'1984.\' "
The ad highlighted the intense rivalry between Apple and IBM in the then-fast-growing PC market.
Apple CEO Steve Jobs himself referred to Big Blue as a greedy Orwellian monster in a keynote speech.
"It is now 1984,\" he said. \"It appears IBM wants it all. Apple is perceived to be the only hope to offer IBM a run for its money. Dealers initially welcoming IBM with open arms now fear an IBM-dominated and -controlled future. They are increasingly turning back to Apple as the only force that can ensure their future freedom. IBM wants it all and is aiming its guns on its last obstacle to industry control: Apple. Will Big Blue dominate the entire computer industry? The entire information age? Was George Orwell right about 1984?"
Fast forward to 2014.
IBM is out of PCs, which has for years now been a shrinking market, and Big Blue is struggling to adapt to a changing tech landscape dominated by mobile and cloud computing. On the other hand, Apple is a major player in this new world, though it faces such challengers as Google and Amazon.
"In \'84, we were competitors. In 2014, I don't think you can find two more complementary companies," Apple CEO Tim Cook said in a joint Wall Street Journal interview with IBM CEO Virginia Rometty. "This is a really landmark deal."
Longtime Apple watcher Roger Kay of Endpoint Technologies Associates said the new friendship isn't surprising, though it's striking given how the two giants once were fierce rivals. "Yep, you could play a lot of ironic notes if you wanted to," he told MarketWatch.
"But they\'ve been cooperating at some level for years," he added. "IBM has been putting agents on iOS devices for enterprise since at least 2011. This not only formalizes that but gives IBM access that\'s better than just the front door."

Last we saw of Minka Kelly's character on "Friday Night Lights," she was enjoying one last romp with high-school love Tim Riggins in his trailer before heading off into her own collegiate sunset.
Riggins has moved on. Offscreen, so has Kelly, who will move from the great dramatic series that is "FNL" and try her hand at comedy.
EW.com reports that Kelly has landed a role in a prospective CBS laugher, "True Love." The project will be produced by Matt Tarses of "Scrubs" and "Worst Week."
It will be interesting to see if Kelly has the chops for comedy. She certainly is familiar with the material. The reported fiance to New York Yankee Derek Jeter will star as one of four friends looking for love in New York City. Her corn flake girl beauty so on display in "FNL" will be put to good use again. Kelly will play a girl who is "sweet, strong-willed and Midwestern."

NASHVILLE, Tenn. Team captain Alyssa Bellini stresses that the Lipscomb Lady Bisons will be getting to the point in practice this week.
"We will start to focus more on points play and getting our feet underneath us," Bellini said. "In the fall we worked on all of the different parts of the game, but now it is time to put it all together.
"We will try to figure out where and how each person plays her best points and stick with it. Every person plays differently and the person you play against plays differently. It is all about sticking with your game plan, but being flexible enough to change."
In many ways the Lady Bisons will be taking a blue-collar approach to the game.
"For practice we have to make sure we have all of our tools ready to go," Bellini said. "You have to make sure your forehand is crisp and that your serve and your feet are where they need to be."
The Lady Bisons opened the season Jan. 15 at Memphis and fell 7-0.
"Memphis is an amazing team," Bellini said. "They are going to be one of the better teams we play. It is hard to play a team that is faster and stronger.
"They were a very confident team. It was hard to walk into that, especially in our first match a week into the season."
Bellini, a junior, is the veteran on the team which also includes three sophomores and three freshmen. This weekend the Lady Bisons host Middle Tennessee at 7 p.m. Friday and Evansville at 7 p.m. Saturday. Bellini wants to make sure that the younger players are able to forget the Memphis match.
"I think some of the younger players might be discouraged from that," Bellini said. "But I told them, and our coaches told them, that is the kind of match where you just compete with your heart. And when you are done, you let it go.
"Some of our girls had pretty close sets with them. Every point you earn is something that you are proud of in a match like that. I think everyone took something positive out of it. All of the girls are strong leaders and strong competitors. We just have to apply all of the work we did in the fall."

wait... what did you just said about Super Ghouls'n Ghosts ? Why is it "gross" ? It's the best one in the entire series.
I like the idea of Ghouls n Ghosts. But two decades removed from its inception, it's punishingly difficult and not very much fun.
Also, my son is super into Mega Man, and really loves Mega Man X so far. But I don't know what I'm going to tell him when I get to Sigma and absolutely can't beat him...
I've got a few of those ... There is something about Dark Souls II that is captivating. Maybe it's that ever-present sense of: "It'll get good in the next zone, for sure."
Played a few games on the SNES Classic with my son (almost 5 years old) over the weekend. During Secret of Mana: "This is fun, Dada. Why don't more games let us play together like this?"Kid has a good point... The quick drop-in/out multiplayer in Secret of Mana is fucking fantastic. There are certainly co-op experiences these days, but nothing quite like Secret of Mana comes to mind. That game is more than 20 years old, and it's incredible to me how they nailed a single/multiplayer RPG, seemingly on the first pass.
That game is more than 20 years old, and it's incredible to me how they nailed a single/multiplayer RPG, seemingly on the first pass.
One could say that most games aren't designed to accommodate multiple people being able to join due to the nature of the game design (allies, extra assistance could break the game/make it too easy).
The irony is the Wii U probably did this better than anything; I hope they port over the co-op Mario platformers to Switch to go with Mario Kart (and did they NOT port Smash?) for you and the boy. Those are perfect co-op for gamers of all ages and skills.
BTW, a reminder that you gotta try Shovel Knight co-op with him if you haven't already. It's Mega Man meets Mana!
I see developers these days talking about game play loops and player feedback systems. It just seems too sterile or as if they are trying to manufacture a new type of drug that will addict the player in a responsible and satisfactory way.
Plus every damn game these days is so overblown and massive that its refreshing to just hand the controller to the kids and actually play the game.
I'm curious how your son likes playing with a controller. My little one is pretty overwhelmed by the controller since she's used to touch inputs at this point but she loves the art style of Rayman, so we give it a try from time to time.
I definitely think games getting more complex has prohibited a simple drop-in mechanic. It works in Secret of Mana because it's all relatively simple. You already have a second and third optional player character, so whether they're controlled by AI or another player is pretty arbitrary to the game design. Most games don't work that way, of course. That being said, why couldn't this have been done with Mass Effect? How fucking cool would that have been?
Speaking of which, I'm relieved that he prefers Super Mario World to Super Mario Bros. 3. Just like dad!
He really doesn't care for Mario Kart.
His coordination isn't quite there yet. He just runs into walls and gets frustrated.
But yeah, I'm really counting on Nintendo releasing 3D World on the Switch, because I've been dying to play it.
Awesome, I didn't even know there was a co-op mode in that. I played it on 3DS, but maybe I'll get it for Switch if he's interested.
Correct answer. But serious question: IS there a better game than Super Mario World? No joke, there's literally hundreds if not thousands of "best game" contenders, accounting for taste, advances, etc, each arguably transcendently equal in their own right (many among Mario games alone), but from a pure gameplay standpoint is there anything above SMW? Without thinking about it I say no. =) Super Mario World: primus inter pares.
Check it out: https://youtu.be/G3cX7Yd6KycMega Mana. I can personally vouch for it as I played it through with an old buddy I used to go on all night Mega Man and beer binges with (wild and crazy guys). It actually worked quite well, though a word of warning: if he can't yet hold his own solo at that level of difficulty its co-op is not nearly as forgiving as Mario.
Welp, the worst happened.
Who has played The Legend of the Dragoon? Is it as good as everyone says it is? All the reviews are mediocre, but reviews are trash a lot of the time.
AND it's in a Wii-U only format that I doubt will be possible to recover through whatever free data recovery options are out there.
In any case, I can't decide if I will force myself to continue from somewhat near the beginning of the game and do stuff in a different order this time, or try to dull the pain by playing a new game like Cuphead or Ruiner(guess in the end I really might stop playing Zelda for it
Sucked into Super Mario Odyssey, everyone. The game is wonderful.
Wolfenstein 3D
The Legend of Zelda
Super Mario Bros. 2
Man, playing these games takes me back.
Well, it should, they're all 25 to 30 years old.

Test Kitchen-Approved
Author Notes: This recipe came about during an autumn vacation in Tuscany with some friends. After a day of exploring the local markets, we came back to the villa with an assortment of seasonal ingredients, and this is what we threw together. I have made it many times since, tweaking the recipe here and there. If you want to make this ahead of time, don't cook or add the pasta until you have reheated the soup and are ready to serve it. —Merrill Stubbs
Serves: 6 generous bowls of soup
1 1/2
cups cranberry beans (kidney or navy will work too)
cups chicken or vegetable stock
cloves garlic, peeled and crushed
tablespoon finely chopped assorted herbs, such as rosemary, thyme and sage
large, ripe tomatoes, peeled and finely chopped, or 14.5 oz. crushed canned tomatoes
cups loosely packed white Italian or French bread, crust removed
large head Tuscan kale (cavolo nero), rinsed, de-stemmed and roughly chopped
ounces small dried pasta such as trofie, tubetti or macaroni
salt and freshly ground black pepper
Extra Virgin olive oil
Parmesan cheese
In This Recipe
- Put the beans in a large pot and add enough cold water to cover them by at least 2 inches. Soak for at least 8 hours. Drain well and return to the pot. Add enough stock to cover them (about 3 cups), the garlic and a few sprigs of fresh herbs and bring to a boil over high heat. Lower the heat, cover, and simmer the beans gently for about 40 minutes, until they are almost tender. If necessary, add more chicken stock so that the beans remain covered.
- Meanwhile, use a fork to mash together the tomatoes and the bread until you have a slurry. Set aside until the beans are cooked. Remove the garlic cloves and any herb stems from the pot and stir in the tomato-bread mixture. Add 2 more cups of stock, cover the pot, and simmer gently for another 20 minutes, stirring occasionally to keep the bread from sticking to the bottom of the pot. While the soup is simmering, bring a medium saucepan of water to a boil and add a generous pinch of salt.
- If the soup seems thick after 20 minutes, add up to 2 more cups of stock. Stir in the kale and gently simmer as you add the pasta to the boiling water. When the pasta is barely cooked, use a slotted spoon to transfer it to the soup, adding some of the pasta water if it still seems too thick. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve in warm bowls with a drizzle of good olive oil and a sprinkling of grated Parmesan.

The Double J backs up to the parking lot of the National Civil Rights Museum, which is located in what used to be the Lorraine Motel. Local barbecue powerhouse Central BBQ recently threw its glove down in the world of Downtown Memphis barbecue by opening a new location directly across the museum's parking lot from the Double J.
Although I don't try to actually grade any of the barbecue places I visit I want to make sure that people understand that my reviews of places are always influenced by factors like price and expectations. I mention that because I have had people question me for being critical about Central BBQ for some past issues with inconsistency and underwhelming side items while I've showed a lot of love for the various Tops Bar-B-Q locations. I've occasionally had people ask, "How can you think Tops is better than Central?" I don't. I love Tops for what it is -- cheap, fast, available all around town, and always "good enough."
Central frequently wins awards for having the best barbecue in town. It's one of the pricier non-Beale Street barbecue joints in town and you can end up waiting in a pretty long line at the original location. I hold Central to a higher standard. That being said, when it comes dry pork ribs, which I consider the Holy Grail of Memphis barbecue, I have never had a serving from Central that wasn't outstanding.
When I stopped by the new Central location last Monday I ordered the pulled pork plate specifically because it has been more inconsistent in the past, making me curious how it would be at the new place. This time the meat had a perfect texture and juiciness to it. I had it topped with Central's hot barbecue sauce and it added an excellent extra kick to the meat. I usually visit the original Central Avenue location and that is where the occasional dry servings I have experienced over the years have come from. That location also deals in such massive volumes of pulled pork going through its relatively small kitchen that total consistency of quality would probably be nearly impossible on a day-to-day basis.
While Central is known and praised for its smoked meat, the sides still seem like an afterthought. The slaw was bland but better than the ultra-dry renditions I've had from the other locations. The beans still just seemed like canned baked beans with a token serving of meat tossed on top of them. Neither was bad but I expect a little more effort from a restaurant that enjoys so much acclaim.
I visited during the middle of a work day and only drank water but I noted the well-thought selection of quality draft beers I've come to expect at Central BBQ including local examples like Ghost River, which is brewed right down Main Street from the restaurant, and Yazoo from Nashville. I also saw a spacious front room with a big screen TV so the new location seems to be following in the Summer Avenue store's footsteps as a great place to catch a Memphis Tigers or Grizzlies game. Given its proximity to the FedExForum I'm sure it also enjoys plenty of fans grabbing pregame food and drinks before home games.
When it comes to atmosphere, my first visit to the neighboring Double J was during a Tigers game and I had a great time there. But during a recent visit to the Double J with my wife the food was still great but we were subjected to blaring top-40 country music being piped in over the radio. I don't know how regular of an occurrence that is, but people visiting Memphis shouldn't be subjected to the canned garbage currently being pumped out by Nashville. If the Double J wants some country music to go with its saloon theme it needs to spring for satellite radio so it can play something like the Outlaw Country station that features music from the days when Nashville still mattered to the music world on an artistic level. Meanwhile, while I was at Central on Monday I enjoyed hearing a nice mix of blues and soul music that seemed very appropriate for the restaurant's location and vibe.
So should you go to Double J or Central when you are in the neighborhood? Because barbecue involves large cuts of meat cooked for long periods of time some inconsistency is unavoidable. In my original post about Double J I said the pulled pork was perfect while the ribs were just a hair overcooked. On a recent visit with my wife I encountered the opposite; perfect ribs and slightly overcooked pulled pork. I can't tell you which of the two restaurants will have better barbecue on any given night, but even on a slightly off night I'm confident that either place will be better than any of the barbecue being served on Beale Street. If you are a serious barbecue fan staying Downtown for a couple days try to find time to sample both.

I squirted my delicious Method spray a little more vigorously and busied with my duster. Love product, loathe cleaning. Mmm, almond smell.
"She may take our stuff," the One Boy Resistance Movement squeaked on, face down into the duvet, doing bugger all to help, "but our dignity and honour remain intact."
I lifted his legs and poked the Hoover under them sending an expensive clatter of Lego flying up the tube.
"I'll do it!" Too late; the same watery promise has been made for weeks, months. His credibility is shot. "Later! I'll do it later!"
A grim business, entering his room, but needs must when a German Exchange boy is coming to stay. On Ritalin, and with a dust allergy. The heart soared.
I was anxious and collared the teacher.
The Ritalin concern was brushed aside with a brusque, "Lots of children are on it, you wouldn't know," so I moved onto the dust allergy, shadow boxing with the brutal truth of describing our house; jabbing hints instead, fearful of closing on the deal and saying out loud that it was a slut fest. "It's not really … it's not exactly …. Well it's not very show-house," I plumped for. The German teacher inclined her head and indicated that I should flounder further, she all but handed me a spade and pointed where to dig. "It's more sort of, well, arty," I cringed and rattled on, "lots of books and pictures and rugs and, and stuff. There's quite a lot of stuff. And we've got a dog and back onto a field, so the chances of him sneezing at something here are quite high. So perhaps he'd be safer in another house?" I ended in a rush.
She gave me a look and said that this kind of allergy meant no building work. It would mean industrial levels of dust. That's what a dust allergy meant. A vision of our house popped into my mind to fit the bill while I mused, too, on clever old German teachers, the things they know, their skill in reading between the lines, leaving you back where you started only with your card marked and your laziness on parade.
At the time of fessing up, the house was as nothing to what came next and, in retrospect, my protestations were rather fey: the house wasn't that bad at all, but that was before we had to forfeit several thousand pounds in getting the roof tied together internally, which revealed that a vital steel was missing rendering T14's room liable to imminent collapse. Back to the breeze blocks we went. Arguments with the builder and dwindling cash mean that T14's room still has 2 big holes in it, ceiling and wall. No amount of dusting can deal with that one. It's the sort of hole big enough for this season's mutant spiders to squeeze through, if they hold their tummies in. That big. About 4' square each.
So I've been attacking the house, on a mission to kill dust and destroy spiders, the beasts that nightly taunt me. Eight we had one night, eight.
One Ran Over My Arm.
Another, the size of Mordor, with legs to match, put approaching the larder out of the question for an evening.
Lolly fleetingly comes into her own as chief spider eater, by which, horrors, I mean only spider eater. But it's not reliable and it's not going to save her from the glue factory come the day.
I've hoovered under things, not merely round or near them; not merely thinking about doing it and then doing something else instead. I've stripped each room back, one by dusty one, in pursuit of hotel status. I've polished glass, the while lamenting our endless shelves boasting an array of the coloured beauties, all dunked now in lemony hot hot water and buffed to a sheen.
Towels are lined up, chrome gleams, tiles zing, floors glow. Like when you're trying to sell the thing. If I'm not hands and kneesing with a dustpan, I'm fiddling with a fluffy thing on a stick rounding up the cobwebs. Really, it will be a housecoat and a scowl next, a broom and an organised shed.
I twitch when the family return to Hotel Lite, drifting into reception (I mean, the porch), before trudging across the foyer (rather, hall), to dump all their gubbins willy nilly in the kitchen. A backpack here, a blazer there, a tie sprawled half on half off a sofa. Sofas where I've even hoovered under the cushions.
Oh, pointless life.
In F12's room, sub sofa cushions yielded a perhaps unsurprising haul: the predictable sock, foreign coins, a locked padlock (no key), a worrying quantity of curry powder, a teaspoon, a selection of bird badges, a short sharp stick and an electric toothbrush.
His room was the final frontier, the bête noir, Room 101. Dreaded and feared and overdue tackling. I girlfully girded my loins and took the brute on. The division of labour shifted: its best, 70:30 (me:him) swiftly became 90:10, became 105:-5 as he realised how much more pleasant it is to sit feet up, reading a book, so sauntered off to do just that in a room I'd prepared earlier (immaculate), leaving me the legacy of his own half-started attempts at tidying, all of which boiled down to fiddling with Lego and wailing and making things worse.
I summonsed him and held up something approximating trousers, "Do these still fit?"
He glanced across and nodded, "Yes."
"Are you sure? Did you look? These, these trousers?"
"Yes," (irritably) "hence the Yes."
"It's just that they're age 7-8 and you're nearly 13. Hence the Are you sure?"
At the end, I stepped back pleased, my face a boil in the bag red, back stiff, hands raw. Under the bed were storage boxes bursting with collated Lego; several bags of crap (broken this, grimy that, illicit wrappers, unidentifiable other) lolled in the boot of the car headed for the tip, "My childhood!" he keened, "How could you."
The room is now a room and not a squalid holding cell for ancient life forms. Moreover, the door can be left casually open for visiting Germans of a delicate persuasion to glance inside without risking death. One can inhale in there, and walking on the floor in bare feet is back on the cards. Really rather pleasant.
E returned from running round a county somewhere (recreational weekend fare).
"F12's room looks good," T15 said in the tones of one delivering unfeasible news.
"Good," said E, "Good boy, F12!"
This was too much to bear, like having to sit by and just take that red-coated fattypuff Father Christmas getting all the praise.
I wheezed in desperation.
"Mummy helped," F12 said airily. "It's not as good as it was though. I liked it better before. It was more me."
"What's that you're doing now?" E asked.
"This? Oh it's a list. For my birthday. I need some more Lego. Quite a lot really." He made that funny little sound he makes a lot to signify agreeing with himself – someone's got to – "hmmmn mmm. Yes, more Lego." He beamed. "There's room now."

Fabulous as always, dear heart. Have given running commentary on Twitter so won't repeat here...btw, do you know they (being children) now take photos of each other's houses to show and shame on Facebook? Just thought I'd mention it... ;) xxx
PS - glue factory sounds fabulous idea. Job lot?
- 25 September 2011 at 11:28
So, can I hire you? Amy's room sounds so much like F12's, how it was, not how it is now!
(Kind of concerns me a bit, on a more serious note, how the teacher reckons many kids are on Ritalin. Hmm.)
Well-written, as always.

Just the other day, I was wondering what you've been up to, Milla. It's been rather quiet from the Lite side. And then, today, all is explained.
I laughed and laughed, and many childhood memories involving my brothers' shared bedroom floated up from who knows where, bringing their own dust, sound effects and so forth. I might even have dreams involving vacuum cleaners soon.
Bravo to you! xo

There are animals that eat dust if you let them and if the spiders don't eat them first. How do spiders get into doubly glazed and insulated houses? One of life's unfathomable mysteries. Yes I was disturbed by the Ritalin mention. Rots the brain apparently and kills creativity. No more Vorsprung durch Technik as it were. Do you know you can get robot vacuum cleaners now that mooch around in the middle of the night and then take them selves back to the plug when the need charging? Maxima bloga Mille est!

What a hoot. The really large spiders in our house have a habit of congregating in the guest bath tub. Once in, they can't climb out, so when they get hungry, they fight it out to the death and , well, eat each other. The last one standing on all eights wins. Not so much mess to clean up afterwards.
Now if I could only get them to eat unwanted guests....

Oh how I missed you and your crazy sense of humour! Very, very funny piece, especially loved the "red-coated fattypuff" - I may use that to describe my darling husband! Sorry about the hands, but they will recover. However, German teen on Ritalin sounds like a hell from which you may never escape. I wish you all the best of British luck, lovey! x

Just done the same exercise with youngest room but attacked it whilst he was away on his classe de mer.I'd forgotten he had a floor under there. I think mothers should be awarded time off for good behaviour or at the very least a bravery badge for such vile work!!

Thank you all!
Loved the live tweeting, Janey, it were a gas.
CJ no, just no. What do you think I am, mad duster for hire?
DD, tempting, not. I'll take a dozen tricky lads over one S-word.
Frances! lovely to "see" you again, I DO hope you weren't troubled by hoover dreams. The domestic cage should be lifted by night.
Fennie, I didn't know that about Ritalin, how very depressing. Poor boy. Hmmm, do you think I should dig out some colouring pencils and a pad and prod the creative juices so to speak?
Wally, blimey, love, way to bring a girl down, SPIDER WARS. Good God!
ExpatMum and Pondside, not coming to stay with either of you, you'll be sorry to learn!
Maddy, tell me about it, counting down the minutes, hours til he goes. It can only be good after the dread, non? Please don't let me kill him!! Inadvertently, of course, have no plans to do it on purpose.
Edward, good thinking. You buy the padlock, I'll lose the key.
Piggy, borrow away, disturbing image now exists of your husband stuck up the chimney.
Her At Home, bonjour, lovey. Yup, each time, I forget, and even now am deaf to the occasion waiting down my road when I'm at it again, bending, picking up, stepping on Lego, swearing.
Fred, howdy, fridge magnets are full of wisdom. I have one saying "I smile simply because I have no idea what is going on." No, he didn't was too busy covering Stratford and Cirencester. Same insane weekend. My poor children. Sob, they share genetic material. They, too, might willingly purchase lycra.
Shiny, bless you, ho ho. You are clearly a sensible slut. Why didn't I think of that.
Lovely, as ever, to hear from you all.

Not gushing here, but bloody close to it. Your writing style, the asides, the inconsequential detail, all of it, is a delight. tell you what, I'll stop writing a blog - can't compete with this - and you get yourself sorted and write the book that's screaming to get out. Don't be a wimp and write a piece of froth, you could do that in your sleep, but write the book you owe it to yourself to write. I'll buy it, but I'll not be alone.
I'm even prepared to offer myself for nagging duties, along with the Dulverton wench who'll surely wish to be involved in the chivvying along process. Just a thought, but one that won't be going away anywhere soon.
Jake. (One of the lower orders, but with superior connections).

If the original trans is in the car snap a pic of the Vin stamping on it and if you can get a better one of the engine Vin that would be great as well. The pair of them should display the same characteristics.

Minnesota State Parks See Decline In Visitors In 2013
MONTICELLO (AP) - Minnesota's state parks saw an overall decline in visitors this year, thanks to chilly, rainy weather that kept many people away at the start of the season.
Sales of vehicle permits are a key measure in determining how many people use state parks. For a seven-month period ending July 31, vehicle permit sales were down 7 percent when compared with the same period last year.
The drop also means lower revenue for the Department of Natural Resources.
Vehicle-permit sales for the month of July alone jumped by about 8 percent when compared with July 2012. Still, that wasn't enough to offset the overall decline.
Managers at two state parks in central Minnesota say they've seen an uptick in permit sales in recent weeks.

Globetrotters in Miami are finding the world a little easier to explore these days.
When its inaugural flight from Doha lands Tuesday afternoon, Qatar Airways will become the latest airline to bring new international service to Miami International Airport, following new routes since April from Oranjestad, Aruba; Santa Cruz, Bolivia; Brussels; and Madrid.
Qatar Airways, a five-star airline as rated by industry research firm Skytrax, will offer the first nonstop flights to the Middle East since El Al Israel Airlines discontinued its Tel Aviv-Miami route in 2008, and the first-ever service to a Gulf Arab state. The airline flies to more than 140 destinations, with a network that stretches deep into China, India, Africa and Europe.
"It gives us, for the first time a chance to reach into a part of the world that we didn't have access to," said Miami-Dade Aviation Director Emilio González. "It really does open up that part of the world — culturally, economically."

Akbar Al Baker, CEO of Qatar Airways, said in an email that the route made sense as the airline's sixth destination in the United States because both cities are strong markets for tourism and Doha offers easy connections around the world. He said Miami's status as a hub for art, fashion and international business also makes the city attractive.
"We expect it to perform exceptionally well," he said. "We are a for-profit airline and do not put planes in cities where there is not a need. Qatar Airways identifies route opportunities that are underserved. The people of Miami are incredibly cultured and eager to explore the world. We are proud to offer them a five-star experience and take them to destinations that other carriers do not go, including some of the most historical places on earth."
Four flights a week are planned, but that could increase to daily service if there is enough demand. The airline has said it will have an economic impact of $78.3 million in projected business revenue within Miami-Dade County, and Al Baker said direct service from the Middle East should have an additional positive effect on Miami's economy.
William Talbert III, president and CEO of the Greater Miami Convention & Visitors Bureau, pointed out that a firm from Qatar bought the five-star St. Regis Bal Harbour earlier this year. "This is a five-star airline, five-star hotel, five-star destination," he said.
The new service between Miami and Doha is one of 29 new routes and 21 new airlines added serving the Americas and Europe since 2010, which includes service to Helsinki on Finnair that starts in December. The international additions made MIA the United States' second-busiest airport for international travelers last year, after New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport.
According to Airports Council International, a nonprofit association of airports, MIA jumped two spots to become the the 10th-busiest U.S. airport for passenger traffic in 2013. It serves 150 destinations and averages more than 850 daily passenger flights.
González is hard at work to add more service. One tool: an air service incentive program that provides him up to $3 million a year to lure air carriers with landing-fee waivers and matching dollars for advertising. In the past few years, airlines including Aeroflot, Iberia, Arkefly, TAP, Jetairfly, American Airlines and Qatar Airways have participated.
González said he is in contact with other airlines in the Middle East, Asia and Africa, which is no longer directly accessible from Miami. South African Airways flew here until early 2000, when it shifted to Atlanta after changing alliance partners.
"My biggest challenge, which will be my biggest victory, is to get an Asian carrier here," González said. "I think it's just going to be a game-changer for us."
He said he expects that service to come within the next three to five years as Asian airlines take delivery of more planes that are efficient for long-haul flights.
Stuart Klaskin, CEO at airline-investment and consulting firm Jetstream Aviation Capital, called the lack of passenger service to Asia "the big gaping hole" in Miami's offerings. Klaskin said he would have expected passenger service to closely follow existing cargo flights from Asia.
The Doha service, he said, "makes Miami into more of a true kind of global player."
"That's a good start," Klaskin said. "When you think of Miami now delivering the service offerings out of Miami, the holes are in the Middle East and in Asia. So anything which starts to plug up those holes is a good thing."
Angela Gittens, director general of Montreal-based Airports Council International, said Miami has become more attractive as the destination's profile has grown and the airport has moved beyond its own growing pains during long periods of construction and mismanagement.
"You have to give a lot of credit to management at the airport," said Gittens, who was Miami-Dade's aviation director from 2001 until 2004. "I think they've put together a very good retail program . . . The airport looks good, it functions well. They've kind of regained a lot of their mojo, if you will, in terms of getting new routes and growing the traffic."
Travelers have taken note.
Arnoldo Reyes, 36, lived in Miami before going away to college and then moving to New York. He worked in New York for several years, traveling frequently, and said he wasn't interested in moving back to Miami because the city didn't offer enough air service.
But when airlines, especially main carrier American, started adding flights, Reyes had a realization: "I said, 'Why am I in New York? I can get direct flights to a bunch of places from Miami as well.' "
As PayPal's head of business and market development for Latin America and the Caribbean, Reyes, a Miami resident again, travels internationally about once a week. He said Miami has the routes and frequencies that he needs for that job. But he would like to see more — and more frequent — flights throughout Europe as well as service to Asia.
"The amount of airlines and destinations that the airport has, just naturally the more diverse types of people will be in that city — and that typically leads to more business in that city," he said.

Ah, that makes some sense but, though we do not have SkyClan in this arc, we might have them in the future, but if the Clowder has replaced SkyClan we would be unable to ever let people join SkyClan. Again, I don't want to squash your creativity and ideas, but Gato having nine lives would break too many things unfortunately. Now if you made it so that Gato had been the actual leader of a clan for a while, but then he left to go lead the Clowder, in that case I do believe he could have nine lives (at the cost of the current leader of whatever clan having only 1 life) but that would require reworking your backstory quite a bit I think.
I didn't know we could have a main antagonist. I wonder how my own antagonist character would play into this...? Or, if it doesn't matter, just let me know.
You are correctThat'll sort it out, and I'm pretty sure I can keep track of both of them even they are separate, since I've been RPing in different threads beforehand, but If you want to I'll give Fallstar to someone else after Gato had left the clan.
What's a Gato?

US News Dumps Pre-2007 Archive, Putting A Proxy Paywall Between Writers And Their Work
from the maybe-some-heads-up-would-have-been-in-order? dept
One of the logistical problems facing long-running publications is the archiving of old material. I say "problem," even though some publications view it more as an opportunity to finally move paper archives to digital in order to preserve them (and even make money in the process). Others view it as dead weight and simply dump anything older than some arbitrary cutoff date (or lock it up behind a paywall). US News & World Report seems to fall into the latter camp.
One of Jim Romenesko's readers recently noted that the publication had ditched a lot of its previously archived material. When contacted about the now-eradicated archives, US News editor Brian Kelly had this to say:
"Last week we launched a new content management system and decided that we could not effectively keep archived web content published prior to 2007 on our site. Those stories, which mostly originated in the print magazine, are available on the LexisNexis and EBSCO archive services, as well as in bound volumes."If US News just wanted to paywall its archives, it certainly could have done so. (Not that that's a great idea...) Now it's being done by proxy via LexisNexis and EBSCO, destinations most people aren't going to go when looking for US News stories. Then there's the "bound volumes" Kelly mentions, which are only useful to someone in the vicinity of those printed copies.
The problem here is that US News' many contributors have now effectively lost access to their reporting work. It doesn't appear anyone was notified about the removal, at least not from what's contained in Kelly's statement. Presumably, those contributors have their own copies stored locally, but linking to a body of work (when looking for work elsewhere, etc.) just became a lot more difficult and potential outlets are far less likely to follow a link to a gated article -- and that's presuming the journalist will spend the time and money to locate their US News contributions in the first place.
There's no notification on the website telling readers that the site's archives only date back to 2007. (Not to mention, the website's search function seems to be fundamentally broken…) And it's not as though this was just a simple dump of everything pre-2007. The US News site has selected articles archived dating back as far as 1993. So, it appears US News has done some very selective archiving to preserve anything deemed "important." Everything else is in the hands of third parties.
A large digital archive can be expensive to maintain and show little return on the investment. But even if US News was uninterested in performing this service for its readers, it should have at least considered how it would affect its writers. If nothing else, the Internet Archive has been preserving previous versions of the US News site, and all without feeling the need to put a monetary barrier between writers and their work.

Yes folks, this is the real deal. Remember that shady website that claimed would release a fully software based iPhone unlock solution within 48 hours? Well...they did. So far I have already received reports from users claiming to have iPhones unlocked and functioning on T-Mobile, Rogers, Vodaphone, and Orange networks.
Engadget has posted a fantastic tutorial detailing the process involved to make the unlock magic happen. It's really straight forward and quite simple. However, I don't have a second iPhone to act as guinea pig, so I won't be putting this unlock solution to the test. Feel free to send me your success stories, or mishaps.
By the way, if anyone out there can confirm their unlocked iPhone works with Centennial Wireless I would much appreciate it. I have a couple friends on that network who are just dying to get iPhones.

Revision as of 04:54, 20 December 2009
Page Name Change
Can you change the name of this page to "Holy Bible" or something?--Jesus 20:51, 30 July 2007 (EDT)
- Yep, by moving the page to Holy Bible and changing MediaWiki:Mainpage to reflect that Gracenotes 18:50, 12 August 2007 (EDT)
- Is there still alot of people wanting this to change? anshkakashi 18:35, 10 October 2007 (EDT)
- Why change it? It's not the Bible after all, it's the main page. Cattus petasatus 16:42, 17 October 2007 (EDT)
- Is there still alot of people wanting this to change? anshkakashi 18:35, 10 October 2007 (EDT)
Exactly how many people are working on this?--Jesus 07:54, 1 August 2007 (EDT)
- Not too many yet. Three heavy contributors plus a few misc. people. I just started the site about 10 days ago, so I'm surprised at how much stuff has been done in that short amount of time. --Zotnix 08:30, 1 August 2007 (EDT)
Hi, I'm new to the project, and I'm looking to do some major work. Just so I don't conflict with anyone, I have two questions: what sections are no one working on for sure, and also- what bible are we using? King James? New English? I don't know the rest. If you're not picky, I'll just use whichever one I buy when I go to a used bookstore today. Thanks, and BAI! Sexdeathrobots 16:59, 9 October 2007 (EDT)
- I'm using the NIV from GospelCom. The site also has other English-language Bibles if anyone prefers them. It's searchable and you can cut and paste from their website directly into the editing window to get started. Cattus petasatus 11:02, 12 October 2007 (EDT)
- I'm actually using BibleGateway.com. They have a ton of different translations. I particularly use the "Message" translation. Puts it close to modern language, so it makes it one step closer. jobe 7:27, 27 October 2007 (EDT)
- I'm using the NET. The translation notes are excellent. Oh, and I'm occasionally consulting a Nestle-Aland Greek edition, 4 serius tranzlashun akuraci. Pseudonym 08:36, 27 October 2007 (EDT)
So anyz I'm new to this as well. I -also- want to know what sections need doing, and my email is available if you guys need another translator :D! ortofl iz catbibul!1 Theshade 22:58, 9 November 2007 (EST)
- Welcome! Really all you have to do is read the Guidelines, pick a chapter, and start translating. It takes a bit of practice, but isn't too bad. --Zotnix 23:40, 9 November 2007 (EST)
So, are we doing my template and the bottom bar or what's the deal with that? --Jesus 14:26, 4 August 2007 (EDT)
I warn every one who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: if any one adds to them, God will add to him the plagues described in this book, 19 and if any one takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God will take away his share in the tree of life and in the holy city, which are described in this book. (Revelation 22:18-19) 'You people are walking on dangerous ground.'
Comment about extensions: installing ParserFunctions and CategoryTree would be, imho, useful for this project. ParserFunctions would help because it can parse expressions, check if pages exist, etc., useful for the bottom template. CategoryTree seems helpful because organization here looks heavily category-based. Just my opinion, tho Gracenotes 18:50, 12 August 2007 (EDT)
One question: How difficult is it to have some "rate this page" feature (e.g. like on youtube) in the wiki? This could give some feedback which style is considered as fun by most of the people. --Landei
- Ouch. Yes. That actually would be a great idea. I noticed some pages are absolutely awesome translations. Some pages are really poor translations but still funny. Some are done with translation software. Ideally, I want to see funny and somewhat accurate. The concepts should be intact, but the text should be garbled. --Zotnix 11:46, 9 October 2007 (EDT)
Translator Website
I HAS FINDZ WEBSIET NAMD SPEAKLOLCAT.COM WHICH TRANZLATEZ LOLCAT 2 ENGLISH--CHEEZBURGER 16:13, 17 October 2007 (EDT)
hu maded teh pikchur?
I'm sure we've all seen the original picture of the photoshopped (I assume) Bible in lolcat, with the first page visible. Does anyone know who made that originally? It's pretty impressive, not to mention it being the inspiration for this whole project. Apologies if I'm being a complete noob. Dbmag9 15:20, 1 January 2008 (EST)
- [www.notablogtm.com] made it. He has a link to it and a discussion. Enjoy. Zotnix 17:02, 1 January 2008 (EST)
- Wow; thanks. That's pretty darn impressive. Dbmag9 13:40, 3 January 2008 (EST)
Show some images on the mainpage!
Lolcatz are all about images, so can we get some images on the main page? Or images and sample text or something, it's too bland and clinical currently.
Book of Mormon
May i translate some mormon books or will that just make it too long and hard?
I'd love you see you translate the Mormon (LDS Church) scripture.[1] --CodeMonkey76 12:57, 6 June 2008 (EDT)CodeMonkey76
- U wantz template dat listz them? John Carter 16:29, 14 July 2008 (EDT)
I have one at home I think, I'll start helping the translation too :D -- NinjaLikesCheez
Where's mah Apocrypha??
Apocrypha, motherfuckers, do you know it?? Shit is more interesting that most of the real bible. Aurora sword 13:28, 11 May 2008 (EDT)
I can haz Tobit??
Possible missing content
Tobit, Judith, 1 Maccabees, 2 Maccabees, Wisdom of Solomon, Ecclesiasticus, Baruch, the additions to Esther and Daniel, 3 Maccabees, 1 Esdras, Prayer of Manasseh, Psalm 151, 2 Esdras, Odes, 4 Maccabees, and 1 Enoch are all seen as being canonical by at least some Christian churches. Would it be appropriate to include them as well? John Carter 10:11, 19 June 2008 (EDT)
- I has made Apocrypha, listin teh apocrypha and other bookz. I finkz I deserve cheezburger 4 dis. Ill werk on addin teh tranzlashuns 2. John Carter 11:20, 7 July 2008 (EDT)
Jewish Community
If itz ok, I would like to found Jewish LOLcats community
Hence forth the LOLcat Jews reject the idea that Jebus is our messiah.
And our LOLTanakh shall be formed of the:
The LOLTorah
The LOLNevi'im
The LOLKetuvim
Are the characters cats?
Are Jesus and all the holy people cats or hoomins? Besides, why do you use capitalisation? AnCatDubh 08:17, 15 November 2008 (EST)
Something Worth Looking Into Maybe
Have you considered trying to become an iPhone app? The app store is full of Bibles, and there's even a "Learn LOLspeak" app if you look hard enough. So maybe look into this? It could be the first step to getting published in a hard-copy book. Though it may be more trouble than it's worth, I don't know what it takes to get an app into the app store... But assuming it's not a major hassle, it could be worth it. Definitely a way to get attention. Shinigami42 20:32, 9 January 2009 (EST)
Stubs Page
The Unfinished Pages page is not working, I think. It's not showing any pages, and I know the Bible isn't finished yet. Someone should fix that.
Compressed into one word document?
Can someone compress the entire LOLbible into one document? Printing it out is becoming a bitch :P
NinjaLikesCheez :D
Afiest Page??
