The difficult things about painting a door when it's vertical are the drips and runs that always happen. If you take the door down and paint it horizontally, you solve that problem. But that means you have to wait for one side of the door to dry before you can paint the other. The solution is a simple one.
Drive two three-inch screws into the bottom of the door near each edge, leaving about two inches exposed. Then drive one three-inch screw into the top of the door at the center leaving the same amount exposed. Rest the exposed part of these screws on a sawhorse at either end of the door.
When you finish painting one side, you can simply lift the door by the two screws on the bottom and pivot it on the single screw at the top to continue painting the other side.

Warriors missing three bigs for Spurs game
For the Alamodome game that's trying to set an attendance record, three injured Warriors will only be attending in street clothes. But one of them did return to practice!

Jonathan Kuminga remains out, but is poised to make his first appearance of 2023.

For the first game of a crucial road trip, the Golden State Warriors won't have three of their big men on the big stage. A really big stage called the Alamodome.
Jonathan Kuminga, James Wiseman and JaMychal Green all remain out for the Warriors tomorrow to open their road trip in San Antonio. Nobody else listed on the injury report.
— Anthony Slater (@anthonyVslater) January 12, 2023
That's three missing players, including two rotation mainstays in Green and Kuminga. Still, having only three players on the injury report might feel like a luxury for coach Steve Kerr after the past few weeks. There isn't a single starter out for Friday night's game against the San Antonio Spurs, which means Golden State has a fighting chance of getting their fourth road victory of the season, which would tie them with the Houston Rockets for 29th in the league.
Kuminga returned to practice yesterday after missing four games with a sprained foot, so he should be returning once he gets some high-intensity practice reps. For a team that's often lacked intensity, and went nearly 20 minutes before drawing their first foul against the Phoenix Suns, Kuminga has become an invaluable bench player. It's unfortunate he'll miss a chance to play the Spurs again, as he scored 15 points and was +24 in his 25 minutes during their first meeting.
Kerr told reporters, "We miss JK's force and his versatility defensively. It's going to be good to get that."
The Warriors also issued updates on their other injured big men.
Warriors provide injury updates. Most notable aspect is that Jonathan Kuminga is back in practice today. Warriors currently getting a workout in San Antonio. Wiseman/JaMYchal Green back into practice in coming days. https://t.co/Jpx6BB85Uk
JaMychal Green is finally working his way back after doctors finally got the infection in his leg under control. That infection, coupled with his earlier illness, has cost Green in terms of strength and conditioning, so there's an expectation that he'll return to practice soon once those get back up to normal. That's also the plan for James Wiseman, who has missed five games with an ankle sprain. Reading between the lines, don't expect either player back on the floor during this five-game road trip.
Kuminga's return might mean that the Warriors can delay a decision on forward Anthony Lamb, who has played in 33 of the team's 41 games so far. As a two-way player, his limit is 50, so having Kuminga back, along with Andre Iguodala, should allow the Warriors to make Lamb inactive occasionally. The other option is to sign him to a regular contract and fill the team's lone open roster spot.
Until then, Kevon Looney and Draymond Green will do the bulk of the big man work against the young Spurs and a player who could also solve the Warriors depth issues if San Antonio agreed to deal him, center Jakob Poeltl. He may be auditioning for a new team in front of an NBA-record crowd of over 64,000. No pressure, buddy!

Crudeoil trading range for the day is 3021-3513.
Crude oil gained on signs that Saudi Arabia was fulfilling a pledge to cut exports and U.S. equities pared some of their losses.
Prices fell on expectations of oversupply amid surging U.S. production and concerns about a global economic slowdown.
U.S. crude output rose to an all-time high of 11.537 million barrels per day (bpd) in October, the Energy Information Administration (EIA) said.
Naturalgas trading range for the day is 200-217.6.
Natural gas prices dropped on forecasts for warmer weather and lower demand through mid-January.
Meteorologists predicted the weather would remain warmer than normal through Jan. 13 before turning seasonally cold for a few days.
That warmth will allow utilities to keep more gas in storage than usual for a few more weeks, cutting the vast storage deficit.

I swear its getting harder to open medications these days, from bottles to aluminum foiled backing on caplets, is it me, amd I just getting too old?
Not just you! I give them to my 12 year old to open.
No, it isn't you, and it isn't just medications. I'm sick of opening hard to open bottles and packaging.
No, it is not you. It's always been difficult for me to open things-----from milk cartons, to medication packets (those with the paper on the back where you have to peel off, then push the caplet out from the foil backing! Ugh!), to the little foil seals on auto coolant jugs, tearing the plastic "ring" off the lids of protein powder containers, pressing down on medicine bottle caps and turning, the list goes on and on. And how ironic is it, if the sufferer is aching from arthritis and he's trying to twist the cap off his arthritis medicine bottle??? Egads!
It's not you. I think cd's are the worst. First you have to get through the huge plastic covering, then you have to pick the wrap off of the cd.
You may be getting older but I'm pretty sure it's harder to get into them too.
They are to protect us they sa! Protect us from taking the pills I think!
Yeah, i can't open child-proof latches on doors either. I used to though, when i was young enough to know better.
Yes. It is you. You are getting too old.
They have went from one extreme to another. When I was very young, I helped myself to a handful of baby aspirins. I just opened the top with my mouth. Now I have to use a pocket knife to open those foil back things. The lids on the bottles are getting tougher to open also. Everyone is worried about being sued.
nah, I know what you mean. The worst is having a hangover and trying to open the aspirin in the dark.
I agree with you 100%. They make it " CHILD PROOF ", but I think they are the only ones that can get the package.
Well there are 2 parts. 1. They have to prevent psycho people from tampering or replicating the pills and basically preventing psychos from kill you. 2. People forget where they place the pills and a baby gets a hold of them and kills themselves. I think that pretty much sums up the reasons.
It's not you some of those packages are next to impossible to open.
Some questions from the older version of AB are popping up. (I like that) These Q's are too old for just anyone to retrieve. How are these Q's getting found?

Sevilla Beat Inter Milan In Thrilling Final To Win Their Sixth Europa League Title
Sports Home Football News Sevilla Beat Inter Milan In Thrilling Final To Win Their Sixth Europa League Title
Sevilla beat Inter Milan 3-2 in a thrilling final in Cologne to win their sixth Europa League crown.
Updated: August 22, 2020 08:37 AM IST
Europa League Final: Sevilla came back from being a goal down to beat Inter Milan 3-2.© AFP
Julen Lopetegui led Sevilla to a sixth Europa League title
Sevilla registered a 3-2 win over Inter Milan in a thrilling final
Inter coach Antonio Conte suggested his time in Milan might be over
Sevilla boss Julen Lopetegui said he does not look back at what might have been with Spain and Real Madrid after leading the Spanish side to a sixth Europa League title thanks to a 3-2 win over Inter Milan in a thrilling final in Cologne. Lopetegui was sacked as Spain boss days before the start of the 2018 World Cup for accepting the role as Madrid coach and then also fired by Real just four months later. But in his first season in Seville, the former Madrid and Barcelona goalkeeper has restored his reputation with a fourth-placed finish in La Liga and seeing off European giants Inter, Manchester United and Roma in the latter stages of the Europa League.
"Fortunately I don't look back," said Lopetegui. "I have the luck to be in a club that has given me this chance to be with a real team with everything that word means."
By contrast, Inter coach Antonio Conte suggested his time in Milan might be over after just one season despite finishing second in Serie A and leading the Italians to a first European final in 10 years.
"It is only right that we analyse the entire season, look at everything in a very calm way and try to plan the future of Inter, whether it's with or without me," said Conte.
"This year will always have a place in my heart, it's been such a strange year and exhausting year. It's been a worthwhile and incredible experience."
The outcome could have been very different had match winner Diego Carlos been sent off inside three minutes for hauling down Romelu Lukaku in the area.
Carlos was only shown a yellow card before Lukaku confidently slotted home his 34th goal of the season to equal his idol Ronaldo's record in his first season at Inter, which ended in the club's last UEFA Cup win 1997/98.
Luuk De Jong has been far from that prolific in his first season in Spain, but the Dutch international suddenly hit form at the right time as after scoring the winner in the semi-final against United, he powered home from Jesus Navas's cross and then looped another header into the far corner from Ever Banega's free-kick to turn the game around.
'Made fun of Conte's hair'
"I dedicate this to the Sevilla fans," said De Jong. "I got the feeling, even in the group stages, how important this cup is for them and we knew if we win this trophy if it also for them."
Sevilla's lead only lasted three minutes as Diego Godin's bullet header saw the Uruguayan become the first defender to score in a Champions League and Europa League final.
But the Uruguayan has now lost both after scoring in Atletico Madrid's defeat to Real Madrid in the 2014 Champions League final.
Tempers flared towards the end of a pulsating first-half with Conte booked for an altercation with Banega after the Argentine reportedly made fun of his hair.
Inter were made to rue wasting the better opportunities in the second half as their nine-year trophy drought continues.
Lukaku had the best chance as he raced through on goal 25 minutes from time, but just as in the semi-final victory over United, Sevilla goalkeeper Bono produced a vital save when needed.
And like so many of their previous five Europa League final victories, Sevilla conjured up a moment of magic allied with a slice of fortune they needed to again take the trophy they call their own back to southern Spain.
Inter failed to clear another Banega free-kick into the box and Carlos more than made amends for some of his heavy-handed defending with an overhead kick that deflected in off the unfortunate Lukaku.
"We are very disappointed but we have to move on," said Inter captain Samir Handanovic. "We just hope to play many other important games like this in the future. The foundations are there."

#22: Beckenham Junction- 12/09/2018
Richard Thomas 17th Sep 2018 10th Jun 2020 TfL Other Services, Tramlink
Arriving at the terminal station courtesy of Tramlink, Beckenham Junction is one of the three destinations created to serve the growing population east of Croydon. The platform is also adjacent to the main line station which offers through trains into Central London and into the heart of Kent.
Beckenham has a villagey feel but probably large enough to be called a town comprising of two main streets. Nothing unusual other than being relatively quiet as school has now resumed so the streets aren't littered with school children. However walking deeper into the heart of the town I found myself on a wildlife adventure as I explored and circumnavigated the lakes in Kelsey Park.
The Town and its historic landmarks
Turning south out of the station I entered the meandering High Street which is dominated by St George's Church and as well as being an imposing building, it's adjoining cemetery is a Commonwealth War Graves location although sadly looking a little unkempt. Across the road is The Public Hall another equally imposing building, a multi-purpose Victorian built venue. It's rooftop catching my eye as it has a Gothic Swiss villa look to it.
Walking down the hill, I pass the old police station, now a trendy spa and restaurant, recessed from the main road where the local Farmer's Market is occasionally held. In contrast, and slightly tucked away from the main road is The Coach & Horses, an attractively decorated traditional pub.
Continuing through HIgh Street, I note a mix of independent shops interlaced with a modicum of closed shop fronts, however the town is working hard to improve the landscape by repaving a significant part of the street.
At the bottom of the HIgh Street, there's an iconic art deco Odeon Cinema still trading as a cinema, and this landmark acts as my turning point back up the High Street.
Walking around the town I notice several alleys, cut throughs and dead ends that have novelty and informative street names highlighting their historic past. An interesting way to draw attention to otherwise bland and forgotten places. Here are some examples found at: Church Hill Alley; Thornton's Alley; Legion Alley; Wood House Alley and Burton's Yard
Wildlife at Kelsey Park
I stumble across Kelsey Park by chance at its entrance in Manor Way and take a peek in through the main entrance looking for shelter as the rain starts to fall. I later realise the stream flowing from the lake is named The Beck, no doubt helping to give the town its name?
A combination of the rain and it being school term meant the park was quiet with only the hardy few, dog walkers and parents with non-school aged children in tow. Most were polite as we exchanged pleasantries, and some chit chat followed.
Time to swap the standard lens for the 75-300 mm zoom telephoto to take advantage of the wildlife. The lake was awash with a variety of birds and on a distant island two herons were encamped high up. Every now and then, a gathering of geese started their runway wing flapping take off display flying off seamlessly and in harmony with each other.
Most of the birds close to the shore were inquisitive enough that they came in close almost posing to have their picture taken, so I took advantage. Overhead, there was an unexpected sound, but for regulars tuned into wildlife around London will know that it's no longer unusual to hear the squawking of a flock of parakeets; yes even in sleepy suburbia. I think I counted at least a dozen in a free flowing aerial display.
I probably spent an enjoyable hour bird watching under a chestnut tree sheltering from the rain, engaged in conversation with passers by equally enjoying the bird displays; but time to move on. And on leaving, I spotted a baby heron fishing in the stream; his/her eyes in a steely gaze mesmerised on a hidden fish…AND WHAAAM! Fish for lunch as the heron gulped it's prey down it's slender neck. It's movement so fast, the best I got was a picture of the drips falling from the heron's mouth. Satisfied with its catch, the heron walks onto the path and uses it as a runway to glide gracefully into the trees..
The day was an interesting sojourn, reminding me to simply embrace whatever each location offers up as points of interest and record for my personal pleasure and entertainment.
The lake in Kelsey Park boasts having at least two cormorants, one proudly displaying its wings high up in its tree perch, and another doing likewise perched on a post mid lake; a good opportunity to test my camera handling skills at full zoom. I rest against railings on a wall to steady myself whilst standing under a large tree sheltering from the downpour of rain.
I've enlarged and cropped the original photo to showcase the cormorant's extended wingspan. There's a little degradation in the quality and sharpness, but given I was a good couple of hundred metres away, I'm very pleased with the outcome. And a good test of the zoom lens' quality at full stretch too

In reply to: Joe Swatosh: "[patch] ruby bindings tracking the recurse=>depth changes in svn_client_proplist3"


Greetings dear readers, and welcome to a long-awaited return to the far-flung star realms of Twilight Imperium. Five years ago, at Dice Hate Me HQ, six intrepid contestants vied for the seat at the head of Mecatol Rex, and only one was triumphant – me! Now, four factions have risen to challenge me for the throne. Two are veterans of the original battle, but two are new to the fray. And all, including me, are new to Twilight Imperium: Fourth Edition!
Here's where you all come in – you can help us decide the fate of the galaxy by helping us choose which factions will be in the game, and which player will control them! Just like last time we're conducting a poll which you can vote on below. We will take the top two faction results for each player and then choose one of them. To help you make the right choice I've provided a quick summary of the players, their strengths, and the factions and their special abilities. Vote, then stay tuned to @dicehateme on Twitter this Saturday, and then tune in to the next episode of The State of Games podcast to hear our exploits! And if you want to revisit all the fun, excitement, and double crossing from last time, be sure to check out Ep. 46 of The State of Games!
That's me! After the last Twilight Imperium showdown I currently sit upon the Imperial Throne on Mecatol Rex, having dominated the galaxy with my formidable War Suns in service of the L1Z1X Mindnet. While victory tastes sweet it also means that I'll have a giant target on my back this time around. Guess I'll have to work extra hard to be the sneakiest rogue in the galaxy – just the way I like it.
Dan is the host of The Geek All-Stars podcast, and in the last TI tussle he almost got the best of me with the warm and fuzzy space lions, the Hacan. Had he not taken a gamble late in the game forcing an early end he might have taken the throne from me. Sadly, in space no one can hear him scream. He's already watched videos and read the new rules so I'm guessing that he's learned from his mistakes last time. Guess I'll have to trick him into making some new ones!
Daniel is the designer of Belle of the Ball, Kodama, Wonderland, Junk Orbit, and many other fun games. In our last Twilight Imperium throwdown he played the big blue swarm – the Federation of Sol – built the largest fleet I have ever seen in any game of TI, and managed to score zero points. My bet is that he comes out swinging like a rabid wolverine on ketamine this time around.
Matt is the designer of Wombat Rescue and Avalanche at Yeti Mountain, and heads up the Game Designers of North Carolina game design guild. He's also our gaming hipster, collecting, importing, and playing the most obscure games possible. Although I've never witnessed his prowess at Twilight Imperium I can say that he's a sneaky SOB in Eclipse, so he definitely knows his way around a tech tree and he's no rookie at waging warfare in the cold darkness of space.
Linus is our wild card. Typically he's at his best when he's sitting to my right and ruining all my moves in games like Grand Austria Hotel, so I'm really hoping the random seating puts him on the opposite side of the galaxy for this showdown. My bet is that he focuses more on the political and diplomatic aspects of TI:4 as his social game is strong in titles such as Dogs of War.
Below you'll find an excellent summary of the races in TI:4 graciously provided by Jason "PK" Levine from this thread on Boardgamegeek.com. I have curated the selections a bit to remove some of the more complex races. The Arborec, Clan of Saar, and Nekro Virus all require a higher experience level to play well, and I'm taking out The Ghosts of Creuss for this particular game because wormholes already cause enough wacky hijinks without a bunch of galactic ghostriders mucking about with them.
Warrior-nobles with a powerful two-planet home system that gives them arguably the best starting position in the game. Their mastery of logistics lets them "buy" offensive power and handle larger than usual fleets.
Sentient fire creatures who can travel through supernovas effortlessly. At the beginning of the game, they are the only race who knows the secret of producing war suns, the deadliest ship that exists.
Peaceful lion-like humanoids who value trade and diplomacy over militaristic might. They have more commodities to trade than any other race, can make deals with anyone, and may even trade action cards.
The space forces of humanity, empowered by their ability to quickly breed and train new troops. They have countless special ops forces at their disposal (which they can upgrade further), their carriers are second to none, and they recover quickly if they overextend themselves.
Aggressive cyborgs with immediate access to plenty of home-system resources, but little diplomatic influence. They rely heavily on their powerful dreadnoughts and flagship, both in space combat and to bombard the enemy while invading.
A consortium of space pirates, all descendants of what was once a system of prison planets, with an impressive fleet of ships. They can steal trade goods from other players and end certain space battles before their foe even gets off a shot.
Psychic snake-women who use telepathy to out-maneuver their foes. They act before everyone else, may retreat from unwinnable battles, and operate their fighters mentally (to devastating effect).
Insectoid tacticians who start with modest resources and a small fleet, but who can use their straightforward combat advantages to quickly build and conquer. Their dreadnoughts are custom-built to bombard ground forces before invasion.
Intelligent, peaceful people known for the scientific research facilities on their twin planets. They are not great in a fight, but can research new technology faster and more easily than any other race.
Former stewards of Mecatol Rex who still have many supporters there. This makes it easier for them to quickly take control of Mecatol Rex, and lets them reinforce it easily. They can also choose their starting technology, which gives you plenty of options.
A proud, ancient race of humanoid space turtles who can use their political contacts to avoid confrontation and to veto dangerous agendas (and action cards, with the right tech). They can annex other planets via pure diplomacy.
A "race" of male clones driven by a shared religious fanaticism. Their holy fervor lets them convert the populace as they invade and make kamikaze ship attacks without hesitation. Their home system is particularly strong.
Goblin-like guerilla fighters, masters of secret attacks and sabotage. They get a better selection of action cards, which they can also discard to "stall" indefinitely. And they start with a solid fleet and home system.

Holdsworth receives grants for new programs
By The Holdsworth Center|December 14, 2021
In the midst of its first-ever fundraising campaign, Holdsworth is thrilled to announce three significant gifts from Bank of America, The Brown Foundation Inc., and The Powell Foundation.
The grants will support Holdsworth's two newest programs: the Superintendent Leadership Program and the Holdsworth Leadership Collaborative, which provide leadership development and support to 55 educational leaders in 23 school districts across Texas.
These gifts provide a critical runway for our new programs as we support educational leaders.
"Through our partnership with The Holdsworth Center, Bank of America is investing in Texas students by making sure the leaders of our school districts have the resources and tools they need to reach their full potential," said David Bader, President of Bank of America Austin. "The Holdsworth Center's Superintendent Leadership Program will help build a stronger pipeline of diverse talent and fuel positive systemic change in school districts across the state — all of which contributes to the greater success of the communities we serve."
"These gifts provide a critical runway for our new programs as we support educational leaders during the most challenging period public education has faced in at least 50 years," said Dr. Lindsay Whorton, president of The Holdsworth Center. "We are truly grateful to our new community partners and look forward to their continued support as we work to ensure all students in Texas have access to an excellent and equitable education."
Expanding our reach
This year, Holdsworth welcomed its third group of six new districts into the 5-year Holdsworth Partnership and launched two new programs, bringing the total number of districts served to 38.
By 2028, the Center is projected to reach more than 4,500 educational leaders from across Texas through the Holdsworth Partnership alone and anticipates serving even more through expanded offerings.
"Through his vision, commitment to public education, and extraordinary generosity, our founder, Charles Butt, has given The Holdsworth Center a strong foundation," Whorton said. "As we look across the state of Texas, the need for this work and the opportunity to make a difference is huge. We look forward to continuing to welcome new partners who will join us in supporting the next phase of our work."
Bank of America shares its success with communities across Texas and the country, developing strong partnerships with nonprofit organizations to address issues fundamental to economic mobility and social progress in low- and moderate-income communities. Bank of America focuses on improving the lives of individuals and families by investing in basic needs, workforce development, and education as well as strengthening broader community vitality by addressing needs related to affordable housing, small business and neighborhood revitalization.
The Brown Foundation Inc. was founded by Herman and Margaret Root Brown and George R. and Alice Pratt Brown in 1951 with the mission to "build, sustain, and enhance organizations that make Houston a stronger, more vibrant community." Over the last 70 years, the Foundation has distributed more than $1.7 billion in grant funding to a wide variety of organizations focused on education, the arts and culture, human services, civic assets, and health and medicine.
Since its founding in 1967, The Powell Foundation has worked to improve the quality of life in the communities they serve, acting as a catalyst to support initiatives focused on public education, the arts, conservation, and social services. Their values of 'leadership building' and 'big picture thinking' align with Holdsworth's work of empowering educators with the knowledge, skills and spirit to excel as well as emphasizing collaboration and innovation to foster systemic change.

ELECTIONS (21) — NOMINATION BY PRIMARY ELECTION — BLANKET PRIMARY LAW — VALIDITY. The avowed purpose of the blanket primary law is to permit voters to cast a private vote for their individual choice without declaring their party affiliations, and everything in former laws defeating such purpose is impliedly repealed.
SAME (37) — CONDUCT OF ELECTIONS — CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY PROVISIONS. Since the constitution does not mention political parties, a law destroying them is not unconstitutional.
SAME (12) — STATUTES (42) — ELECTION PRECINCTS OR OFFICERS — ELECTION — STATUTES — REPEAL BY INCONSISTENT ACT. Rem. Rev. Stat., § 5198, provides for election of precinct committeemen for each party, and that the one receiving the highest number of votes shall be such committeeman for such party, and was not amended in 1935; but anything conflicting with its purpose would be inconsistent and necessarily repealed by the repealing clause.
CONSTITUTIONAL LAW (103) — ELECTIONS (21) — EQUAL PROTECTION OF LAWS — CONSTITUTIONAL GUARANTEES — NOMINATION BY PRIMARY ELECTIONS — BLANKET PRIMARY LAW. There is no discrimination in the blanket primary election law so far as its provisions apply equally to all parties.
ELECTIONS (21) — NOMINATION BY PRIMARY ELECTION — BLANKET ELECTION LAW. The blanket primary election law makes no attempt to control the inherent power of a party to adopt principles and to require its members and officials to give adherence thereto.
Appeal from a judgment of the superior court for King county, Findley, J., entered December 21, 1935, upon sustaining a demurrer to the complaint, dismissing an action for injunctive relief. Affirmed.
Lyle L. Iversen, Allen Spratlin, and Thomas C. Kinney, for appellant.
Warren G. Magnuson and Edwin C. Ewing, for respondent.
Griffiths Cluck, E.W. Anderson, Yantis Brodie, and W. Le Roy LaFollette, amici curiae.
The plaintiff, by his amended complaint, alleges that he is a qualified voter, a member of the Republican party and desirous of advancing its principles, and as such he seeks to restrain the defendant, as county auditor, from proceeding officially in accordance with the terms of chapter 26, Laws of 1935, p. 60, upon the theory that the act mentioned is unconstitutional in a number of particulars, some of which will be referred to more specifically as we proceed.
A demurrer was interposed, which, after argument, was sustained by the trial court. The plaintiff elected to stand on his amended complaint and a judgment of dismissal followed, from which he has appealed to this court. No formal assignments of error are made, but various arguments are advanced for the purpose of establishing that the measure known as the "Blanket Primary Act" denies rights which are guaranteed by both the Federal and the state constitutions.
"AN ACT relating to primary elections, providing for a Blanket Primary Ballot, amending sections 5185, 5187, 5189 and 5195 of Remington's Compiled Statutes of 1932, and repealing all laws in conflict therewith."
 It is not necessary for present purposes to set forth in detail the previous legislation upon the same subject which is thus amended. The objects and purposes to be obtained are sufficiently revealed by § 5, p. 64, of the 1935 act, which we have quoted, and in giving effect to § 5 and thus carrying out the purposes of the legislature, we are required by our recognized rules of construction to regard as repealed by necessary implication anything and everything contained in the prior acts of the legislature which would defeat the avowed purpose of permitting all properly registered voters to vote for their individual choice as to each office at any primary election, regardless of political affiliation and without a declaration of political faith. This declaration of policy clearly indicates the purpose of affording secrecy to the individual voter as to his party affiliations as well as to his choice of individual candidates. That purpose, being a salutary one which accords with the spirit of our constitution, must be sustained unless, very clearly, constitutional rights are denied.  The sections amended are a part of our direct primary law, and that law still stands except as amended or repealed by the 1935 act. This court, in its previous decisions sustaining the direct primary law, has met and answered most of the objections which are now presented.
"So long as voting is by ballot, an official ballot is a convenience if not a necessity, and some authority vested somewhere in government must determine the names which shall appear on that ballot, and those names must necessarily be few in number; and, we repeat, any reasonable method prescribed by the lawmaking power which accomplishes this result must be sustained by the judicial department of government. The courts have no concern with its wisdom or policy."
"Recurring again to fundamental principles, the whole argument in this behalf is met by the undisputed proposition that the constitution takes no concern of political parties. The people, in adopting the constitutions, both state and Federal, wisely considered that political parties are evanescent things, born of political emotions and of uncertain — sometimes precarious — tenure of life, and went no further than to protect the elector in his right to cast a ballot; not a coerced party ballot, but for the candidate of his choice, whether he be upon one ballot or another. . . .
"Political parties being neither mentioned, protected, nor favored in the constitution, a law will not be held to be unconstitutional, although in its workings it may destroy these organizations. If a party is to be protected at all hazards, the Australian ballot, the primary law, and the commission plan of government must all fall upon the first attack, for the working, if indeed it is not the design, is to break down parties and put the burden entirely upon the elector. . . .
"Finding no guaranty, express or implied, in favor of either a candidate or a party in the constitution, it follows that he or his party can claim no greater rights than the voter himself. The fountain cannot rise higher than its source."
See, also, State ex rel. Rogers v. Howell, 92 Wn. 381, 159 P. 118, and from other states: Koelsch v. Girard, 54 Ida. 452, 33 P.2d 816; Dupre v. St. Jacques, 51 R.I. 189, 153 A. 240; Sarlls v. State, 201 Ind. 88, 166 N.E. 270, 67 A.L.R. 718; State ex rel. Duniway v. Portland, 65 Ore. 273, 133 P. 62; State ex rel. Weinberger v. Miller, 87 Ohio St. 12, 99 N.E. 1078, Ann. Cas. 1913 E, 761, 44 L.R.A. (N.S.) 712; Winston v. Moore, 244 Pa. 447, 91 A. 520, Ann. Cas. 1915C, 498, L.R.A. 1915A, 1190; and State ex rel. Van Alstine v. Frear, 142 Wis. 320, 125 N.W. 961.
Without detailing each argument presented or attempting to answer it specifically, it may be safely said that these authorities fully meet and amply refute every attack which is here made upon the act of 1935, save possibly one which, because of its novelty, perhaps requires more specific treatment.
 Rem. Rev. Stat., § 5198 [P.C. § 2243], provides for the election of precinct committeemen for each party participating in the September primaries, and that "The one having the highest number of votes shall be such committeeman of such party for such precinct."
This section was not amended by the act of 1935, but if anything in it necessarily conflicts with the purpose of the amending act, such conflicting part would be inconsistent with the amending act and would necessarily be repealed by the repealing provision already quoted. We are not now convinced that there is a necessary conflict, hence, we pass the question of repeal of the provision for the election of party precinct committeemen.
 It is now argued that, without the party test, which was abolished by the act of 1935, those voters so disposed may elect Democrats as Republican precinct committeemen and vice versa, with a result that the voters of one party may capture the governing body of an opposing party and thus obtain and take from it its funds and property and likewise thus prevent its support and advocacy of those political principles for the furtherance of which it exists.
Of course, under the provisions of Rem. Rev. Stat., § 5170 [P.C. § 2161], no person may lawfully join in the nomination of more than one precinct committeeman, and it is not to be presumed that any voter will abandon his right to participate in the selection of the committeeman of his own party in order to foist an unwanted individual upon a party to which he is opposed. But, whether so or not, the provisions now under consideration apply equally to all parties who may be affected thereby, and thus there is no discrimination in favor of or against any. If, as we have already said, "political parties are neither mentioned, protected or favored in the constitution," (State ex rel. Shepard v. Superior Court, supra), then, if all are treated alike, none has any just cause of complaint.
 Moreover, the statute, as we read it, makes no attempt to control the inherent power of a political party to adopt principles and to require its members, and especially its officials, to give adherence thereto; nor does the statute deny the inherent right of a political party to expel any official whose actions and beliefs are antagonistic to its announced principles. In this inherent right of a political party to expel or refuse to seat any committeeman who does not subscribe to the party principles, we see a complete defense against the feared assault upon party integrity. This question is controlled by the authorities already cited, and, therefore, the act of 1935 does not violate either the Federal or the state constitution.
MILLARD, C.J., MAIN, GERAGHTY, HOLCOMB, BLAKE, and BEALS, JJ., concur.
MITCHELL, J., concurs in the result.
I concur with the majority in all that is stated in the opinion, except the next to last paragraph thereof, which refers to the inherent right of a political party to expel or refuse to seat any committeeman who does not subscribe to the party principles. Conceding such right, generally, I fail to see how it is possible to enforce such right under the existing law pertaining to elections.

Connecticut Units in the Revolutionary War
10th Continental Regiment
Elmore's Regiment
Burrall'sRegiment
Ward's Regiment
Westmoreland's Ind. Companies
On 21 April representatives from Massachusetts met with the Connecticut Committee of Correspondence in the home of Governor Jonathan Trumbull at Lebanon. Trumbull sent his son David to inform Massachusetts that a special session of the Connecticut assembly would meet as soon as possible. While some Connecticut militia units marched to Boston on hearing of Lexington, most followed the advice of the governor to wait until the assembly could act. The wisdom of this course was confirmed by news that although Israel Putnam had asserted a loose hegemony over the volunteers, a formal command structure was needed before they would become effective.
The special session convened at Hartford on 26 April, and the next day the Connecticut Assembly ordered that six regiments be raised, each containing ten companies. Officers were appointed on 28 April and arranged on 1 May. At the time the assembly believed that these 6,000 men represented 25 percent of the colony's militia strength; they were obligated to serve until 10 December. The companies were apportioned among the several counties according to population. Connecticut's regimental structure followed a somewhat older model than that chosen by the other colonies and was considerably larger. Connecticut placed generals in direct command of regiments, as Massachusetts did, but followed Rhode Island's example in having field officers command companies. This left generals filling three roles at the same time-that of general, colonel, and captain. Rather than assigning an extra lieutenant to each field officer's company, as Rhode Island did, Connecticut merely designated the senior lieutenant in each colonel's company as a captain-lieutenant. On the other hand, the Connecticut organization called for each company to contain four officers rather than the three the other New England jurisdictions provided. The assembly appointed Joseph Spencer and Israel Putnam brigadier generals and David Wooster major general. It assigned supply responsibilities to Joseph Trumbull, another of the governor's sons, by appointing him commissary general.
After a recess the assembly reconvened on 11 May and remained in session for the rest of the month, passing legislation that resolved a number of logistical, administrative, and disciplinary problems. It defined the regimental adjutant as a distinct officer. It also appointed Samuel Mott as the colony's engineer, with the rank of lieutenant colonel, and ordered him to Fort Ticonderoga. This session created a Committee of Safety, also known as the Committee of Defense or the Committee of War, which served for the rest of the war as the governor's executive and advisory body. The assembly considered, but rejected, reorganizing the six regiments into eight to bring the size of these units more into conformity with that of the regiments from the other colonies. Another special session (1-6 July) added two more regiments, but these were smaller than the earlier ones. The assembly reduced the number of privates in these regiments by nearly a third, while retaining their same organization and superstructure, and then ordered both to Boston.
Deployment of the Connecticut regiments followed a pattern established during the colonial period. In the Imperial Wars the colony had been responsible for reinforcing its neighbors, supporting New York on the northern frontier around Albany and assuming primary responsibility for the defense of western Massachusetts. In 1775 Spencer's 2d and Putnam's 3d Connecticut Regiments, raised in the northeastern and north-central portions of the colony, naturally marched to Boston. Samuel Parsons' 6th, from the southeast, followed as soon as the vital port of New London was secure. Benjamin Hinman's 4th, from Litchfield County in the northwest, went to Fort Ticonderoga, where the county's men had served in earlier wars. The 1st under Wooster and the 5th under David Waterbury, from Fairfield and New Haven Counties, respectively, in the southwest, prepared to secure New York City. News of the battle of Bunker Hill led Governor Trumbull to place the men in Massachusetts temporarily under the command of General Ward. At the same time the 1st and 5th regiments were ordered into New York, subject to the orders of the Continental Congress and the New York Provincial Congress.

Both the Republican and Democratic gubernatorial candidates have indicated no less than some openness to a tribal-state compact on Class III gaming. Here's a brief excerpt from an online "chat" hosted by the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel with Paul Bucher, the Waukesha County District Attorney and a Republican challenger for the office of Wisconsin Attorney General. The district courtroom's determination is Wyandotte Nation v. NIGC, 437 F.Supp.2d 1193 (D. The district court docket held that the Wyandottes' purchase of the Shriner Tract with these funds might qualify the tract as inside the "settlement of a land declare" exception. In brief, the NIGC reasoned that the "settlement of a land declare" exception would apply only the place lands truly had been returned to the tribe because of the land declare. The NIGC had ruled that the belief land, known because the "Shriner Tract" and positioned throughout from the city hall, didn't meet the exceptions for gaming on newly acquired lands below IGRA. Now, hardly ever do such partnerships end in the construction of precise casinos – as we've talked about in different posts, despite the hoopla, solely three off-reservation casinos have been opened beneath the "best-interests" exception to the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act's prohibition on gaming on newly acquired lands. Now, an analogous dispute in South Dakota might threaten the Oglala Sioux Tribe's Prairie Wind Casino.
Anti-gambling forces have tried to sway policymakers and the public to get rid of South Dakota's video lottery since it was adopted in 1989. Now, because the Sioux Falls Argus Leader reports on October 17th, in the context of tribes' efforts to hunt amended compacts, tribes are exerting political influence by way of the power of a local American voting bloc. In this article from Native American Times, you can begin to see why tribes and tribal associations monitored the election carefully, and sought to affect crucial races. As we've stated elsewhere, the stakes are too excessive for a scarcity of information, or unhealthy data, to influence policymaking on Indian gaming. Six years after submitting a proposal for a plaza hotel and casino in Beloit, Wisconsin, the St. Croix Chippewa and the Bad River Band received phrase that their proposal has been authorized by the BIA's regional office. Walt Big Crow, an Oglala Sioux Tribe council member, stated, "If we get to the point where we expect the governor is negotiating in unhealthy religion, if the governor turns down our compacts, we are going to inform our voters to turn down video lottery." Opposition to the video lottery would align tribes with anti-playing organizations that, ironically, additionally oppose Indian gaming.
The Tribe then might want to negotiate a tribal-state compact for casino-type video games. We'll then discuss Class II gaming (bingo) versus Class III gaming (casino-fashion) in gentle of these frameworks. As long as authorities created economic alternative after which stayed out of the best way, all was proper with the world. People from all around the world travel here to get a glimpse of the Natural Wonder and to see all the beauty that surrounds this place. The Bellagio Gallery of Excellent Art presents objects collected from throughout your entire world. It's tribal sovereignty, arguably, that presents the most tough questions for constitutional or Indian legislation scholars and the "relaxation of us" alike. The Draw back of Practicing Indian Gaming Law? The shift within the Navajo Nation's position on gaming turned in massive half on the hope that gaming could help increase the living commonplace of a individuals whose unemployment charge is forty four p.c and whose per capita income is simply over ,000. With only four casinos in 18 years beneath this exception, and with the built-in veto power of the state governor, we have now urged Congress to assume twice earlier than limiting or eliminating this exception. The U.S. Secretary of the Interior has to approve gaming on the land, and the state's governor should concur — in other words, the governor has veto power over off-reservation casinos underneath this exception.
In 2003, the NIGC closed the Meskwaki casino in Iowa during an intra-tribal dispute over a tribal election. Indian gaming, due to this fact, is extra akin to a state lottery than to a Vegas casino. Constitutional rationale. Aha – that is the big one, since final time we checked, there was no point out of playing within the U.S. A month after preliminary approval by the regional BIA workplace of an off-reservation casino near Beloit, Wisconsin, the same workplace gave preliminary approval to another off-reservation casino: the Menominee Nation's -million Dairyland proposal in Kenosha, Wisconsin. Critics of off-reservation gaming seem to assume that "reservation shopping" means that tribes in search of to open a casino are foisting themselves on unwilling communities. A Kenosha casino has been in the works for numerous years. Florida's first state-accredited slot machines will start operation in December at two commercial racetracks in Broward County — just in time for the holidays. While the compacts for second are waiting to be resurrected, the political and partisan finger-pointing is ongoing.

Well friends, I am terrible at doing anything on a daily basis. Especially blogging. The truth is: I'm very thankful. I'm so very thankful for my friends and family, and especially, for my husband. I'm thankful for his new job, and I'm thankful that he makes dinner when I get home late.
What a week. It was break for the students at my college, which luckily means I can sleep in a bit on work days, but also meant I was doing a mailing by myself, sans student worker. Anyway, the kiddos come back Monday, so it'll be much louder in my office from here on out.
7. Jitters' Italian Philly sandwich. Yum.
10. That I finished my mailing on time!
1. Getting on the scale in the morning and being 3 pounds lighter. Progress!
2. Free lunch at work — indoor picnic with friends!
Have a good week, people! Stay healthy.
I got super sick this week. Wednesday morning I woke up at 2am with a throat the size of Wisconsin and feeling so hot. I went into work for a few hours, but luckily my boss sent me home. I napped and watched a lot of tv and now I'm feeling a bit better. ANYWAY, Tens Time.
And now, to bed. I am one tired lady.
I know — Tuesday's not over yet. I think it'll be ok.
5. Making my second Mary Kay sale!
7. The opportunity to reach my goal of booking two more Mary Kay events this month!
10. Staying up late in bed just chatting with the hubs. It's a good time.
I have a pretty great life.
I missed two days! Bad Anna.
1. My awesome band, The So and Sos!
6. Being able to make lots of food for the Superbowl party. I love feeding people!
10. That we don't yet have a toddler who wants to follow me everywhere (I say this after having been followed by a 3-year-old into the bathroom last night at church).
Monday's will have to come later.

ist there any chance to create a Teamcenter dataset with relation to a item revision and import a file as named reference to it with NXOpen.
NXOpen.PDM.FileManagement.ImportFiles() looks right, but is limited to existing datasets.
Any ideas how to this with NXOpen in the current NX session?
I found a way to do this within our Teamcenter installation. In our installation there is a pdm server call that creates a dataset. I invoked this call in NX Open, then I followed it up with the method to import the file as a named reference under the new dataset.
Dim szDatasetName = fileNumber & "_" & fileRevision & "_MyDataSet"
how did you find out the input_code (210) to InvokePdmServer?
Will be grateful for any response.
With your method, I am able to Import files from my local computer to Teamcenter successfully. Thank you very much.
But I am struggling to export the dataset from Teamcenter to local Computer.
'The below line of code is for importing the file from local computer to Teamcenter dataset and it works perfect. Please do not get confused with the datasetnames and type name, because this is how our Teamcenter has been implemented in my organization.
The below line of code is for exporting the dataset from Teamcenter to local computer and it is not working. There is also no error while running the code.
Could you please help me on this?
please take a look at the Siemens Example, perhaps it helps.
I'm not sure about the copyright, so I just link the example.
Actually, based on the example on the link which you have provided only, I was trying to export. I already know this example (someone has put this example on the internet somewhere and I referred to it).
My ultimate goal is to download all the datasets associated to the Item revision (especially PDF Drawing Dataset, .prt file and text file if they exist) to local computer. Please note that, I do not want to generate the PDF drawing file using some other methods in NXOPEN, because it will take more time to freshly create PDF files every time. Instead, i want to download already existing PDF dataset in Teamcenter.
So, I have tried with the example on the link which you have provided. It is a very nice example and pretty straight forward. But, unfortunatley this code works for Import even for .prt file data set.
But this code doesn't work for export option.
what is wrong in my code?
Is there any special settings that I have to do in NX or teamcenter applications?
Is it never all possible to download the .prt, pdf and text datasets? If so, what is the best way to achieve downloading named references of the data sets?
If you like, I can send you my full code in the next post.
I've tried to export a PDF Dataset from our Database, but it also didn't worked. This function semms to be limited or needs some special input parameters.
Perhaps anyone else have an idea or just contact Siemens via GTAC, they are usually very helpful.
I was looking for ways to import file & create dataset in Teamcenter from NX Manager. And then I found this in NXOpen programming tools document.
Should work in versions, starting from NX11.0.1. I tried this in NX 12 and it worked perfect.
Hope this is useful for many people!
I tried using this API but am getting an error. The details are mentioned below. Any idea what could be the problem here.
I have create an executable an am executing it with the required input parameters in the TC command promt.
Any idea or suggestion what could be the problem here?
I asked my organization's Teamcenter administrators for a list of available PDM server calls and found this in the list.

NBA team jersey sponsorship: Selling out or selling big ?
Since 2017 the NBA has gone the way of NASCAR, and soccer clubs, with the selling of ad space on their jerseys. I can't argue with the revenue that the advertisement has brought in, but for nostalgic reasons, I hate to see one of the Big 3 North American professional sports leagues go the way of the amateurish looking uniforms of the above-mentioned soccer clubs, and NASCAR driver. There was always something sacred to me about the uniforms not being monetized.
The argument can be made that the NBA is evolving and just taking advantage of an opportunity that presented itself. Those deals total around $137 million for the 21 teams that participated (listed below), which equals about $ 6.5 per team. That's not exactly chump change, but by pro sports standards that's probably their laundry budget for the year.
It probably won't be long before the remaining 9 teams jump on the bandwagon, and get their own deals. After all, the NBA jersey is a very visible item that's seen by millions of people each night. I think over the next 5 years that $137 million will probably double.
Observing the popularity of tattoos with today's athletes, I wonder if it's too far fetched to see players striking their own deal with a sponsor to deface their body with a national brand. I'm sure that would be a legal battle between the NBA and the NBPA for the ages.
Next Post:2018 NY Knicks Open Training Camp: Lottery Or Bust!
I actually play and watch basketball a lot and lately I been loving the new jerseys. I feel as though they look a lot nicer with the ads on them! Thanks so much!
Thanks for checking out the site Jamaar, I guess I just haven't gotten used to seeing the ads. I'm kindof a traditionalist when it comes to uniforms. I don't even like the "alternate" uniforms that teams wear. I know its good for marketing, but I hate seeing the Knicks in green uniforms on Xmas day.
I think it's just another case in advertising and getting money whatever way they can. I have a hard time believing that professional basketball teams don't make enough money to support themselves without multimillion-dollar advertising on their jerseys. I kind of like the purity of just a jersey minus advertising.
Hi Lynne, thanks for stopping by. I agree, I'm a bit of a purist myself, and think it's a cash grab by the NBA. That seems to be the way sports are heading, all about the revenue, and less about the game.

DAVID MILGAARD DIES AT 69
By Andy Johnson
For 23 years he professed his innocence, while serving a life sentence for a crime he did not commit. David Milgaard has died after a short illness.
When Milgaard was 16, he was charged and wrongfully convicted in the 1969 rape and murder of a nursing aide in Saskatoon.
He was released from prison in 1992 and exonerated by DNA analysis in 1997.
His story was introduced to a new generation of Canadians with the Tragically Hip song, "Wheat Kings.
Canada's justice minister called Milgaard "a tireless advocate for the wrongfully convicted."
David Milgaard was 69.

Visit Japan's Kyushu region – with oneworld's newest fare
oneworld has added a third alliance fare for travel around Japan – this time focusing on the Kyushu region, and offering attractive savings on usual prices.
Kyushu, which means "Nine Provinces", is the country's third largest island and the most southwesterly of its main islands. As an early centre of Japanese civilization, it offers many historic treasures, natural beauty with famous hot springs, and modern cities, like Fukuoka and Nagasaki.
Besides Fukuoka and Nagasaki, oneworld serves five other airports on the island – Kagoshima, Kitakyushu, Kumamoto, Miyazaki and Oita.
The oneworld Visit Japan Kyushu Pass provides visitors to the country with an easy, flexible and attractively priced way to explore this region.
When bought in conjunction with an international return flight to Japan on any oneworld member airline, it offers up to five flights between Tokyo Haneda or Narita or Osaka Itami and any of these seven airports in the Kyushu region, with each sector charged at a JPY 5,400 (approximately US$ 52). This is half the price charged for these sectors through oneworld's established Visit Japan fare, which offers flights throughout the country.
This Visit Japan Kyushu fare is available for a limited period only – for travel until 29 October 2016 – to stimulate travel to the region following the region's recovery from the earthquake that it suffered earlier this year. Tickets can be bought from any oneworld member airline or most travel agents.
For full details of the new oneworld Visit Japan Kyushu pass, see oneworld com To find out more about Kyushu, see welcomekyushu.com
oneworld also offers two other Visit Passes for travel around Japan, in conjunction with international travel to the country on any oneworld member airline:
