a zone deletion policy~
|
|
The implementors zone deletion policy.~
|
|
To prevent accidentally deleting someone's zone and causing conflicting OLC
|
|
access I have made the following guide. If someone does not login to the mud
|
|
for over 6 months, and does not mudmail an implementor to let them know of a
|
|
delayed absence their zone can be deleted. I use show areas to list all zones
|
|
and then go through one by one using "last <playername>". If they have not
|
|
logged in for over 6 months I then "stat file <playername>" and check that they
|
|
have the proper OLC set, and that they do not have the NO_DEL flag. Anyone with
|
|
an excused absence MUST have the NO_DEL flag set so we will not delete their
|
|
zone. If they have not been on for 6 month2 and are not excused I then "show
|
|
zone #" to doublecheck the zone and builder assigned. I then check if they made
|
|
anything of value that should be saved. Once you are sure it is safe to delete
|
|
their zone and all their work set their OLC to -1. "stat file <playername>" to
|
|
be sure it worked and then feel free to delete away.

cornucopia goats horn~
|
|
"Cornucopia" comes from the Latin "cornu copiae," which translates literally
|
|
as "horn of plenty. " A traditional staple of feasts, the cornucopia is
|
|
believed to represent the horn of a goat from Greek mythology. According to
|
|
legend, it was from this horn that the god Zeus was fed as an infant. Later,
|
|
the horn was filled with flowers and fruits, and given as a present to Zeus.
|
|
The filled horn (or a receptacle resembling it) has long served as a traditional
|
|
symbol in art and decoration to suggest a store of abundance.

life. I am prepared to give my life in their defense.

Rick Husband paid tribute to fallen astronauts from space, just four days before he died.
|
|
"They made the ultimate sacrifice, giving their lives and service to the country and for all
|
|
mankind," the Texas native said Jan. 28, on the 17th anniversary of the Challenger
|
|
explosion. The 45-year-old former Air Force test pilot was selected as an astronaut in 1994
|
|
on his fourth try. Space flight was his lifelong passion, along with singing. This was his
|
|
second space flight. Personal data: Married, two children.
|
|
William McCool was an experienced Navy pilot with more than 2,800 hours in flight. But
|
|
two weeks into his first trip into space, the 41-year-old astronaut was bursting with
|
|
amazement. "There is so much more than what I ever expected," McCool told NPR on Jan. 30.
|
|
"Its beyond imagination, until you actually get up and see it and experience it and feel
|
|
it." The former Navy test pilot grew up in Lubbock, Texas, and became an astronaut in 1996.
|
|
Personal data: Married, three children.
|
|
Michael Anderson accepted the risks of space flight willingly. "I take the risk because I
|
|
think what were doing is really important. If you look at this research flight ... the
|
|
potential yield that we have is really tremendous," he said. Anderson, 43, was born in New
|
|
York and grew up on military bases. He was flying for the Air Force when NASA chose him in
|
|
1994 as one of only a handful of black astronauts. He traveled to Russias Mir space station
|
|
in 1998. Personal data: Married.
|
|
Kalpana Chawla wanted to design aircraft when she emigrated to the United States from
|
|
India in the 1980s. The space program was the furthest thing from her mind. But "one thing
|
|
led to another," the 41-year-old engineer said, and she was chosen as an astronaut in 1994.
|
|
Chawla was the first native of India to fly on a space shuttle but the second in space,
|
|
after Rakesh Sharma, who flew on an Indo-Soviet mission in 1984. This was Chawla's second
|
|
space flight. Personal data: Married.
|
|
David Brown was a Navy novelty: a jet pilot as well as a doctor. He was also probably the
|
|
only NASA astronaut to have worked as a circus acrobat. (It was a summer job during
|
|
college.) He said what he learned about "the teamwork and the safety and the staying
|
|
focused" carried over to his space job. He joined the Navy after his medical internship, and
|
|
held a captain's rank. NASA chose him as an astronaut in 1996. This was the 46-year-old
|
|
Virginia native's first space flight. Personal data: Single.
|
|
Laurel Clark was a diving medical officer aboard submarines and then a flight surgeon
|
|
before she became an astronaut in 1996. This was her first space flight. She had been on
|
|
board Columbia to help with more than 80 science experiments. "She was doing something that
|
|
she cared deeply about, that she was very good at," said her father, Robert Salton. In fact,
|
|
he said, "she was pretty good at everything." The 41-year-old's hometown was Racine, Wis.
|
|
Personal data: Married, one child.
|
|
Ilan Ramon, a colonel in Israels air force, was the first Israeli in space. His mother
|
|
and grandmother survived the Auschwitz death camp. Like his Zionist father, the astronaut
|
|
fought for his country, in the Yom Kippur War in 1973 and the Lebanon War in 1982. He took
|
|
part in the 1981 air strike that destroyed an Iraqi nuclear reactor. Ramon, 48, was selected
|
|
as an astronaut in 1997 and moved to Houston in 1998 for training. He called Tel Aviv home.
|
|
Personal data: Married, four children.

christmas poem soldiers~

a soldiers christmas poem~
|
|
A poem about the forgotten soldiers christmas.~
|
|
Twas the night before Christmas,
|
|
He lived all alone,
|
|
In a one bedroom house
|
|
Made of plaster and stone.
|
|
|
|
I had come down the chimney
|
|
With presents to give,
|
|
And to see just who
|
|
In this home did live.
|
|
|
|
I looked all about,
|
|
A strange sight I did see,
|
|
No tinsel, no presents,
|
|
Not even a tree.
|
|
|
|
No stocking by mantle,
|
|
Just boots filled with sand,
|
|
On the wall hung pictures
|
|
Of far distant lands.
|
|
|
|
With medals and badges,
|
|
Awards of all kinds,
|
|
A somber thought
|
|
Came through my mind.
|
|
|
|
For this house was different,
|
|
It was dark and dreary,
|
|
I found the home of a soldier,
|
|
Once I could see clearly.
|
|
|
|
The soldier lay sleeping,
|
|
Silent, alone,
|
|
Curled up on the floor
|
|
In this one bedroon home.
|
|
|
|
The face was so gentle,
|
|
The room in such disorder,
|
|
Not how I pictured
|
|
A United States Soldier.
|
|
|
|
Was this the hero
|
|
Of whom I'd just read?
|
|
Curled up on a poncho,
|
|
The floor for a bed?
|
|
|
|
I realized the families
|
|
That I saw this night,
|
|
Owed their lives to these soldiers
|
|
Who were willing to fight.
|
|
|
|
Soon round the world,
|
|
The children would play,
|
|
And grownups would celebrate
|
|
a bright Christmas Day.
|
|
|
|
They all enjoyed freedom
|
|
Each month of the year,
|
|
Because of the soldiers,
|
|
Like the one lying here.
|
|
|
|
I couldn't help wonder
|
|
How many lay alone,
|
|
On an old Christmas Eve
|
|
In a land far from home.
|
|
|
|
The very thought
|
|
Brought a tear to my eye,
|
|
I dropped to my knees
|
|
And started to cry.
|
|
|
|
The soldier awakened
|
|
And I heard a rough voice,
|
|
"Santa don't cry,
|
|
This life is my choice;
|
|
|
|
I fight for freedom,
|
|
I don't ask for more,
|
|
My life is my GOD,
|
|
My COUNTRY, My CORPS."
|
|
|
|
The soldier rolled over
|
|
And drifted to sleep,
|
|
I couldn't control it,
|
|
I continued to weep.
|
|
|
|
I kept watch for hours,
|
|
So silent and still
|
|
And we both shivered
|
|
From the cold night's chill.
|
|
|
|
I didn't want to leave
|
|
On that cold, dark, night,
|
|
This Guardian of Honor
|
|
So willing to fight.
|
|
|
|
Then the soldier rolled over,
|
|
With a voice soft and pure,
|
|
Whispered, "Carry on Santa,
|
|
It's Christmas Day, All is secure."
|
|
|
|
One look at my watch,
|
|
And I knew he was right.
|
|
"MERRY CHRISTMAS MY FRIEND,
|
|
AND TO ALL A GOOD NIGHT."
|
|
|
|
This poem was written by a Marine stationed in Okinawa Japan.
