Finally, a question that has actually qualified for a Frequently-Asked-Questions section! I think this deserves its own page, though, and will be updated as I start to know what I'm talking about.
The basics for starting a webcomic:
- Make sure you enjoy it, because it takes years to be profitable, if at all. The hard truth of webcomics is that only a tiny percent actually become profitable. For instance, Kenny Chronicles still makes less than what I spend and I've been at it for over 2 years(10 years, if you count all the planning). If you're a professional artist, a webcomic can be a tool for practice, experimentation, and promotion. If you're not, it can be a tool for practice, experimentation, and getting a foot in the door. Or just for fun. A comic won't be good if you're not having fun with it anyway. Enjoying your own comic is THE MOST IMPORTANT THING. If you like what you make, there are thousands out there who will also like it(if they find it). Even if your comic changes and loses readers, it'll find new readers. The most important fan, is YOU. Speaking of fans…
- Interact with your fans, build a community. Respond to your email. Interaction gets readers, which leads to the next point…
- Find forums related to the topic of your comic(not just webcomic forums, either!). Ask for reviews, but PLEASE wait until you have a month's worth of comics before asking, maybe even 30. It's hard to give a good review of 5 comics unless it's a complete story, and it's harder to feel like subscribing with such a small example. With your archive in hand, evaluate what your comic is about. Is it about knitting? Find some knitting forums! Does it feature talking animals? Furaffinity.net is a strong community for that(careful with the content ratings, it's an art site, after all). Webcomic forums are invaluable, but be sure to branch out as well. With any forum, get to know the community before promoting yourself. See what forms of promotion are accepted. Are people putting a blurb about their site in the signature? If so, feel free to use that.
- Don't create a "gamer" comic. That genre has been saturated. There are a LOT of un-tapped topics for comics. Comics about games are fine, but not if that's ALL your comic is about, because there are thousands of comics that are just like yours, if you go that route. In webcomics, the more niche your audience is, the better. I'm not a doctor, but I read Doc Rat because it's funny, well-drawn, and is UNIQUE. Jenner can make jokes that would be out of place in other comics. "Write what you know" applies here. One place it doesn't apply, however, is…
- Don't create a comic based on your friends. First off, hurt feelings can occur, especially if your comic's characters branch off from their inspirations. My characters are each based off of at least 2 people, if they're based on anybody at all, and that's just for a template. Second, and more importantly, your friends aren't good characters. Sorry to tell you that. Friends rely on similarities to each other, characters rely on contrast. Read up on creating a good cast of characters. They must have different traits, in both appearance and personality. Speaking of creating good characters…
- Just say "no" to Mary Sue! A Mary Sue character is based on the author, and is designed to have absolutely no flaws. A good character has flaws. Any time your character starts to look perfect, knock them to the ground! I do my best to make Kenny NOT be a Mary Sue, and he's lost a tooth in that endeavor. As of this writing, the character of Death is starting to look too perfect in my opinion, but she's still a new character, and I'm still establishing a few traits. She does have a character flaw of being controlling, and is dangerous to piss off(may be a strength, but can be viewed as a flaw too). From the start of her design, I wanted to give her a disability. Trouble is, 117 years in the future, many of today's disabilities would be cured. She is short, as a minor thing(I'm short, so I know the limitations that brings). I've also given her one other defect that I have yet to reveal.
- Update regularly. People expect the comic at a set schedule. Even more important than keeping to your schedule is choosing the right schedule. You should make several comics before making the website, so use that time to figure out what a comfortable schedule is. Generally, webcomics will update 1, 2, 3, or 5 days a week(3 is popular). The more you update, the more likely you'll get higher traffic. However, the more updates you miss, the more people will give up on the comic. Balance. You can counteract a low update schedule with blog posts on the off-days, as long as they're interesting and relevant. ALSO, you can change your schedule when needed, but not too often, and give your readers warning.
More in-depth:
- Listen to all of the Webcomics Weekly podcasts, starting with the first ones. There's some really good stuff in that podcast, both informative and entertaining(non-cartoonists will find lots of laughs too, lol). The first ones are at Talkshoe and the later ones are at Libsyn. Probably the only out-of-date info is their opinions on Twitter, which they now all use heavily(as do I). They also have a great book called How To Make Webcomics. Unfortunately, it seems out of print, and the cheapest price is $25 used. Erm, I paid half that. I hope it gets printed again, it's very useful. For a podcast on creating a great comic(not as much focus on the web & promotion aspect), check out Art & Story. These guys give great tips with every podcast(unless the podcast is about a convention, which in that case it's about the convention).
- Need webspace? You'll likely want to have paid webspace eventually, but if you want good free comic hosting, go to ComicDish.com, use the "account" mouse-over menu and choose "create account". At Comic Dish, the comic account is the same as the forum account, so you also have access to the community and events. I haven't used them before, but I listen to their podcast regularly, so I know it's a great community and the control panel allows for nice customization. I pay for my web space and use WordPress with ComicPress. ComicPress isn't the only good comic tool for WordPress, so feel free to check out "Webcomic" and "stripShow", too. There's also a plugin coming up called "Comic Easel", but it's not ready for showtime yet. Great developer, though. I'll be keeping an eye on it. Oh, and a domain name is important if you're really serious about your comic. Godaddy.com is basically THE place to get one. It's a good idea to buy your domain name from a different company than your host, to make it easier to switch hosts later on. I don't consider Godaddy to be a great web host. They've had some hacking issues lately, but also the interface isn't very simple, and it's clear they're more interested in selling domain names than hosting. Would you like 3 domain names with your renewal? No, not really. Who do I recommend for web hosting? There are many great options, Dreamhost being the most popular with webcomics currently. If you get less than 5000 visitors per day, shared hosting is great. That number is different per host, and depends mostly on how much data is sent out, but around there, hosts start to urge you to upgrade your plan. Sometimes they drop your speed with no warning. Depends on the host. I rarely see 1000 page views in a day. Oh, and on the subject of hacking, here are two lists of plugins that are of use: one and two. I personally love Limit Login Attempts and WP-Firewall. The firewall sometimes prevents me from making template edits(have to whitelist your IP address), but it has blocked a few attacks so it's worth it.
- Advertise! Like I mentioned, forums are good. If you really want huge numbers, though, spend several dollars a month on Project Wonderful. With PW, you bid on an ad space per day. It's actually per minute, but the rate is per day, so an ad space can have several ads hold the spot throughout the day, depending on who's the current high bidder. Yes, this gets expensive, and I've only deposited $5 on it. For a steady, moderate traffic increase, put a few PW ads on your site and just recycle your advertising income into advertising on other websites. It's less effective, but it costs nothing. I generally pay 1¢ per thousand viewers, which also equals 1¢ per click. If my bid is costing me more than 5¢ per click, I cancel it. If bid well, you might get 100 visitors for each dollar you spend, although that performance takes practice. I've also found that Google Adwords gets me equally good rates of return(My ad got on Garfield.com!), but you can't recycle your advertising income like with Project Wonderful. In fact, Project Wonderful is the best match for webcomics because it's mostly other webcomics advertising on it! You will NOT see "One Simple Rule" ads, and for me, the income is better than Google Adsense. Now, if you have merchandise, feel free to raise your ad spending. Generally, merchandise isn't very worthwhile unless you have over 1000 steady visitors. If you keep stock of your merchandise(not print-on-demand), raise that number past 5000.
So there you have my tips for webcomic success, or at least for preventing failure. I'll be sure to expand/edit this as time goes on, so I figured this should be a page instead of a blog post.

As for working with them – it is just so easy to do. All you have to do is ask them to start to help you.
- Start to talk to them, I know that you can't necessarily see them (more on this on another blog), but trust that they are there with you. Use your manners and be courteous and ask for the help that you need. It can be help with big things, or small ones they don't mind at all, they will hear you and start to help you. As long as it is for the good of everyone concerned then they will help you.
- Things won't always come in straight away, often they do, but sometimes it takes longer, there will be a reason for that happening and again I will talk more on this on another blog.
- Hand your worries over to your angels. Ask them to take them away and to show you a solution. Again more on this to come.
- Trust that you have been heard and that they will be working in the background to help you.
Start asking today for the help that you need. You don't have to tell people what you are doing, some people will never be open minded enough to understand this, or be willing to at least give it a shot. Don't worry there will not be a sign on your forehead telling everyone that you work with your angels.
However, wait until they see your transformation, they will soon be asking what you are doing differently and what your secret is.
It is then that, if you feel confident enough to do so, you can share your knowledge and spread the word about how wonderful working with your angels is. How beautiful, how loving, supporting and how nurtured you feel at all times. How life isn't quite so difficult any more. How you never feel alone.
My life has completely changed since I have been living and working with my angels and guides. I have great adventures coming up for me. I am learning to let go of things that no longer serve me and to embrace new and wonderful things into my life. And all with the help, support and unconditional love from my angels and guides.

|The Conference of Death. (Source: Pro-Life Philippines Foundation)
Article II. Section 12. The State recognizes the sanctity of family life and shall protect and strengthen the family as a basic autonomous social institution. It shall equally protect the life of the mother and the life of the unborn from conception. The natural and primary right and duty of parents in the rearing of the youth for civic efficiency and the development of moral character shall receive the support of the Government.
|When Abortion Was a Crime: Women, Medicine, and Law in the United States, 1867-1973
Let us look at the number of times abortion is mentioned in the RH Law:
- (j) While this Act recognizes that abortion is illegal and punishable by law, the government shall ensure that all women needing care for post-abortive complications and all other complications arising from pregnancy, labor and delivery and related issues shall be treated and counseled in a humane, nonjudgmental and compassionate manner in accordance with law and medical ethics
- (a) Abortifacient refers to any drug or device that induces abortion or the destruction of a fetus inside the mother's womb or the prevention of the fertilized ovum to reach and be implanted in the mother's womb upon determination of the FDA.
- (q) Reproductive health care refers to the access to a full range of methods, facilities, services and supplies that contribute to reproductive health and well-being by addressing reproductive health-related problems. It also includes sexual health, the purpose of which is the enhancement of life and personal relations. The elements of reproductive health care include the...(3) proscription of abortion and management of abortion complications.
- (s) Reproductive health rights refers to the rights of individuals and couples, to decide freely and responsibly whether or not to have children; the number, spacing and timing of their children; to make other decisions concerning reproduction, free of discrimination, coercion and violence; to have the information and means to do so; and to attain the highest standard of sexual health and reproductive health: Provided, however, That reproductive health rights do not include abortion, and access to abortifacients.
|Complications of Abortion: Technical and Managerial Guidelines for Prevention and Treatment
- Element (reproductive health) = proscription (abortion + management (abortion complications)
- Element (reproductive health) = proscription (abortion) + management (abortion complications)).
These two interpretations are entirely different. In the first interpretation, both abortion and management of abortion complications are proscribed, i.e. forbidden. Thus a doctor or nurse or midwife cannot assist in the procurement of abortion or in the management of abortion complications. In the second interpretation, on the other hand, only abortion is forbidden; management of abortion complications is part of the reproductive health law. Anti-RH law advocates can be convinced of the validity of the RH law using interpretation 1. But pro-RH law proponents can use the ambiguity in language to provide wiggle room in introducing abortion in the country by using interpretation 2: a woman can perform the initial attempt at abortion using certain pills, for example, then she can go to the hospitals to have the doctors complete the abortion. That is why, in order to resolve the ambiguity, the RH law emphasizes post-abortion care:
While this Act recognizes that abortion is illegal and punishable by law, the government shall ensure that all women needing care for post-abortive complications and all other complications arising from pregnancy, labor and delivery and related issues shall be treated and counseled in a humane, nonjudgmental and compassionate manner in accordance with law and medical ethics

- A Unified Approach to Validating Univariate and Multivariate Conditional Distribution Models in Time Series
- Bin Chen, Yongmiao Hong
- Journal of Econometrics 178 (2014) 22–44
- #002309 20160221 () Views:151
- Modeling conditional distributions in time series has attracted increasing attention in economics and finance.Wedevelop a new class of generalized Cramer–von Mises (GCM) specification tests for time series conditional distribution models using a novel approach, which embeds the empirical distribution function in a spectral framework. Our tests check a large number of lags and are therefore expected to be powerful against neglected dynamics at higher order lags, which is particularly useful for non-Markovian processes. Despite using a large number of lags, our tests do not suffer much from loss of a large number of degrees of freedom, because our approach naturally downweights higher order lags, which is consistent with the stylized fact that economic or financial markets are more affected by recent past events than by remote past events. Unlike the existing methods in the literature, the proposed GCM tests cover both univariate and multivariate conditional distribution models in a unified framework. They exploit the information in the joint conditional distribution of underlying economic processes. Moreover, a class of easy-tointerpret diagnostic procedures are supplemented to gauge possible sources of model misspecifications. Distinct from conventionalCMand Kolmogorov–Smirnov (KS) tests, which are also based on the empirical distribution function, our GCM test statistics follow a convenient asymptotic N(0, 1) distribution and enjoy the appealing ''nuisance parameter free'' property that parameter estimation uncertainty has no impact on the asymptotic distribution of the test statistics. Simulation studies show that the tests provide reliable inference for sample sizes often encountered in economics and finance.

The Little Black Dress Initiative is a poverty awareness fundraising challenge in which participants wear one black dress for five consecutive days, in order to illustrate the effects poverty can have on your access to resources, your confidence, and your employment opportunities. Poverty remains an urgent problem within the United States and we witness it each day right here in our own backyard. With over 20% of Angelina County residents living below the poverty level, it is critical that we strive to serve those in need. Many of our neighbors cannot afford basic items required for daily living such as food, clothing and shelter, and others will be over-looked for employment opportunities because of these limited resources.
Following the campaign, Second Chance Cash vouchers will be issued to local organizations who serve those in need to be redeemed at the JLL Second Chance Rummage Sale on October 20-21. Families can purchase a wide range of items such as cookware, coats, clothing, blankets, beds and much more.
The Little Black Dress campaign will run September 25-29. For more information and to see the campaign in action, visit our Junior League of Lufkin Facebook page.
Make a difference by donating now and clicking the "Donate" button below. You will be rerouted to PayPal to make your payment. Thank you for helping to make a difference and raise awareness about poverty right here in Angelina County.

Monster Party Ideas
Use these monster party ideas to throw a spectacularly spooky monster bash this Halloween! Make a mini-monster party for little ghouls or a scary celebration for older kids and teens. Craft homemade invitations with a monster theme and ask guests to come dressed as their favorite monster. Get inspired by these monster party ideas, and play games, make monstrous art, and hold a costume contest with awards for the wackiest werewolf, zaniest zombie, or most fantastic Frankenstein. Finish the fright night by going trick-or-treating!
Make Monster Bash Invitations
- Choose a monster or two and help your child to craft imaginative invitations. Pick a less scary monster for younger kids, like a friendly ghost or even a black cat. Invitations for older kids can focus on more spooky images or standards like vampires or zombies.
- All invitations can start with basic art materials such as cardstock and markers. Position the cardstock vertically, and fold it so that the top touches the bottom. Draw a circle shape on the front and cut around the line, leaving the top attached together. Use markers, glue, and construction paper to design your chosen monster's face. For example, cut strips of white paper (add some tissue in for an extra effect) to glue over a marker drawn face for a zombie.
- Open the card to write important party information inside. Include the party theme (monster bash), costumes, date, place, time, and RSVP contact information.
Try Some Monstrous Games
- Have a costume contest: Reward your guests for their creepy costumes by give out prizes like mini trick-or-treat bags filled with candy or small toys.
- Monster Relay Race: Set up obstacles such as a slime walk (fill a shallow play pool with green jello) or a werewolf jump (ask guests to pretend to be the wolves) and have your monster themed guests race to the finish.
- Monster Match: Draw or copy pairs of pictures of famous movie monsters. Ask the guests to play a memory-style matching game.
- Monster face paint: Parents and grown-ups at the party can use non-toxic costume paints or make-up to create magnificent monster faces for the party guests.
Create Monster-Themed Crafts
- Paper Bag Ghosts: This simple project is perfect for the preschool set. Stuff the ends of white paper bags with recycled newspapers and tie around the middle. Decorate a spooky face with markers or crayons.
- Monster masks: Use paper plates or cut paper circles, paints, glitter, and glue to make creepy Halloween masks.
Monster Treats
- Try treats, not tricks, for this fun Halloween party. Make ghost-shaped Rice Krispies Treats using a ghost-shaped cookie cutter or frost chocolate cupcakes with orange icing to carry on the Halloween theme. Spook the young guests with a slimy gelatin mold made from green gelatin. Add grapes as eyeballs or gummy worms for an added effect.
- Another option is to prepare a dinner menu from a famous monster's country of origin. Create a Transylvanian feast fit for Count Dracula or make a German fare for Frankenstein.

Keri & Justin
Keri is such a great, energetic and fun bride. Justin is every photographers dream. He actually enjoys having his picture taken. The funniest thing about this session was that they got pulled over on the way to the session because they were running late. We also did a little trespassing on an old (we think) abandoned house.

Underground swimming pool
The client had designed an underground swimming pool with access from his property.
The complex design and high water table at the location had resulted in significant water ingress through the concrete retaining walls.
Other systems had been applied to stop the water ingress but without success. Weber were bought in to provide a solution.

CHESTERTOWN, Md. — "To play the game is great … to win the game is greater … But to love the game is the greatest of all."
That plaque resides inside the Palestra, the "Cathedral of College Basketball," on the campus of the University of Pennsylvania. This January, the Washington College women's and men's basketball teams will look to make it their own as they play their counterparts from Dickinson College as part of a special five-game slate of Centennial Conference games in the facility that day.
The Conference announced that five regular-season games will be played at the 8,722-seat facility on Sunday, January 14, 2018. Gettysburg and Ursinus will play a double-header beginning at 11:30 a.m., while Dickinson and Washington College will also play a doubleheader with the opening tip scheduled for 3:30 p.m. for the women's game and 5:30 p.m. for the men's game. McDaniel and Muhlenberg will cap off the day with a men's contest scheduled for 7:30.
Washington College will be planning a special alumni gathering in conjunction with the games. Details about that gathering, as well as ticket prices and more information from the conference office, will be available at a later date.
"This is a fantastic opportunity for not only our student-athletes, but our entire Washington College Athletics family," noted Washington College Director of Athletics Thad Moore. Our student-athletes will compete in one of the most historic basketball venues in the country, our coaches will be able to raise the profile of their programs, and our alumni, parents, and friends will be afforded a unique chance to support our teams and the College as a whole."
"The history of the Palestra for basketball fans is unmatched and will provide a wonderful opportunity for our students," said Centennial Conference Executive Director Steve Ulrich. "They will play under the same roof as Wilt Chamberlain, Oscar Robertson, Jerry West, Julius Erving, Bill Bradley, Bob Lanier, Patrick Ewing, Kobe Bryant and LeBron James. We are also excited to showcase the Centennial Conference and Division III basketball for prospective students in the Philadelphia area, as well as alumni and friends of our institutions."
"The Palestra has the acoustics of a big bass drum. It's a basketball echo chamber where every sound is amplified, where 100 people sound like a thousand, where a thousand sound like 10,000 and where 9,000 sound like nothing you've ever heard before. When the bleachers are full and the games are good, this is the best place to watch a college basketball game in America. There are other great gyms, other great crowds, certainly better places where you'll see better teams. But they are not the Palestra." - Joe Rhodes, Dallas News, 1986
"This is a basketball cathedral." - longtime Philly and New York scribe Dick "Hoops" Weiss.
"It's so small, with the court below street level, that it's easy to drive past the entrance on 33rd Street without even noticing it. Because of its rectangular shape and because it's so small, there are no bad seats in the Palestra. Sure, they're uncomfortable — most don't have chair backs — but none has a bad view. Fans sit almost on top of the court on all four sides. When they walk through the tiny lobby and across the narrow hallway to their seats, most will pause at the famous plaque with the sign that reads: "To play the game is great. . . . To win the game is greater. . . . But to love the game is the greatest of all." - John Feinstein, 2014

These came in great handy at my brother's jiu-jitsu tournament! The kids used the antibacterial wipes for their hands before eating since we were sitting in the bleachers and eating snacks.
My brother is a pretty bad-butt fighter and as you can imagine, gets a little sweaty... he used the antiperspirant wipes for men as well as the facial cleansing wipe to wipe the sweat off his face after winning all of these matches!
If you can't tell, I'm pretty proud of my brother! :) I'm also pretty stoked about these awesome travel wipes though! Go check them out!! :)

Net Tuition Revenues, Subsidies, and Education Expenditures per Student at Private Nonprofit Institutions over Time
Between 2004-05 and 2014-15, average educational expenditures per FTE student at private nonprofit doctoral universities increased by 16% in inflation-adjusted dollars. The increases over the decade in private nonprofit master's and bachelor's institutions were 8% and 6%, respectively.
Figure 15B: Net Tuition Revenues, Subsidies, and Education and Related Expenditures per Full-Time Equivalent (FTE) Student in 2014 Dollars at Private Nonprofit Institutions, 2004-05, 2009-10, and 2014-15
Notes & Sources
NOTES: Net tuition revenue is the amount of revenue an institution takes in from tuition and fees, net of all institutional grant aid provided to students. Some of this revenue comes in the form of Pell Grants and other financial aid from federal and state governments and other sources. Subsidies are defined as the portion of the cost of educating students not covered by net tuition revenue. Education and related expenditures include spending on instruction, student services, and the education share of spending on central academic and administrative support, as well as operations and maintenance. Expenditures for both undergraduate and graduate students are included in these estimates. Institutional averages are weighted by 12 month FTE enrollments.
SOURCES: NCES, IPEDS Finance data, 2005, 2010, and 2015; calculations by the authors.
- Net tuition revenue covers a much larger share of educational costs at private nonprofit master's institutions than at either doctoral universities or bachelor's colleges in the sector.

I stand in affirmation of the resolution and wish for a worthy challenger
Thanks for starting this and I hope it will be helpful to both of us
I will begin with the following observations
Pakistan has rejected military aid.
When the United States decided to cut 800 million in funding in pakistan the leader of the pakistani government stated that he no longer needs United States aid.
Taliban recieves weapons from Pakistan soldiers
There have been numerous cases in which the New York times reported that the Taliban had recieved various weapons from Pakistan soldiers. Removing Aid would resolve this issue.
Pakistan's ISI releases US secrets
From Cbs news it has been recorded that the ISI released US mission plans to the Taliban and other insurgency groups resulting in the failures of the missions.
It is for these reason I stand on the Pro side of today's debate, any disputed points should be brought up in the next rebuttal or i must assume that my opponent agrees with them.
And on the side note thank you for accepting this debate I expect it to be a good one.
As The Council on Foreign Relations reminds us, the last time we walked away was disastrous. "As relations with the United States deteriorated, Pakistan pursued ties with the Taliban‐‐part of its "strategic depth" initiative to counter India and bring "stability" to Afghanistan after the Soviet occupation. It also continued an aggressive nuclear program too, complete with disastrous global proliferation." However, a Pakistani change in heart would not have to be so dramatic to have adverse effects on America. For example, if Pakistan were to align itself with China, China could leverage Pakistan into antagonizing India. According to the Washington Quarterly, "As India struggles to emerge as a global power with an ambitious foreign policy agenda, China can effectively scuttle Indian ambitions by continuing with its diplomatic and military support to Pakistan. Much to India's chagrin, China has given ample indications in the recent past that it wants to follow that path." The Quarterly also shows that should we suspend aid, this turn to China would happen. Reacting to the U.S. move to suspend some aid in July 2011, Islamabad's ambassador Masood Khan, was quick to suggest that ''China will stand by us in difficult times as it has been doing for the past years.' Pakistan could also be driven to Saudi Arabia, a known hotspot for terrorists who could use nuclear bombs. According to Bruce Riedel of the Brookings Institute, In October 2003, then Crown Prince Abdullah visited Pakistan for a state visit. Several experts reported after the trip that a secret agreement was concluded that would ensure Pakistan would provide Saudi Arabia with nuclear technology and a bomb if Saudi Arabia felt threatened by a third party nuclear program in the future. Riedel found also however that no country can match America in its assistance to Pakistan, so as long as the assistance remains, this is not a threat
Pakistan controls U.S and NATO supply routes
The Council on Foreign Relations shows that Pakistan's assistance is crucial in our efforts in Afghanistan. We cannot fight in Afghanistan without the 80 percent of fuel and dry goods shipped through Pakistan. A responsible withdrawal of U.S. forces depends on an Afghan
political solution that Pakistan will influence. The Brookings Institute finds that 80% of NATO troops in Afghanistan could not survive without resources coming from the port of Karachi. As Lisa Curtis, of the Asian Studies Center stated "The U.S. must avoid abrupt action like stopping all aid, which would come at a steep price to U.S. interests in the region. Pakistan could react by cutting off NATO supply lines that run through Pakistan to coalition troops in Afghanistan. It could also expel U.S. intelligence officials from the country, thus denying the U.S. access to valuable information that helps the CIA track terrorists. Peter Brooks of National Security Affairs finds If Islamabad closes southern supply routes, and we can't boost flow from the north, we'll have to look at reducing coalition forces and operations in Afghanistan, possibly resulting in a premature withdrawal from Afghanistan.
Suspending is too rash, better alternatives exist
Suspending aid has the massive detriments mentioned above, as well as the imminent threat of nuclear war. Alternatives, such as applying conditions, suspending some aid, etc. are far more beneficial and will not threaten national security
Suspending aid will destabalize govenment
There are multiple impacts to this.
First, Pakistan's economy will suffer, as it is not able to function without aid
Second, The government willl be in danger of collapse
Third, this could be an oppurtunity for extremists to take control of a nuke-possesing country
As you can see my opponent no longer has any standing points so I must resort to my own case.
1. Pakistan does not want and\or need our help.
2. Pakistan gives US weapons to the Taliban making the war on terror considerably harder.
3. Pakistan ISI releases crucial secrets such as mission plans and technology. In example they gave China full access to the US Navy Seal team 6 helicopter parts which, were extremely top secret due to there ability to avoid radar at low altitudes.
Since my opponent has no attack whatsoever on my 2nd and 3rd points I must assume he agrees with them. As I Quote Martin Luther King Jr. "Silence is Compliance"
If my opponent agrees with the majority of my case I must assume with my side of the debate.
I now see no reason to vote con in today's debate if my opponent agrees with the pro, so I must encourage a pro ballot in this debate.
If my opponent had read through my case, he would have seen that it makes no difference whether or not Pakistan is in desperate need of out help. However, we cannot even consider this because all he has shown is that a guy said he didnt need aid...AFTER he knew he wasnt getting any. Pakistan, entrenched in poverty, obviously needs the aid, and at the very least wants the aid. Therefore Pakistan will go to China and Saudi Arabia, as well as possibly extremist groups, and this massive threat to national security must be weighed on the con side. Rerouting after 9/11 doesnt matter to this debate, because as I've shown, the vast majority still goes through Pakistan. My second point still stands. My opponent failed to give anything resembling an adequate argument to my 3rd, 4th and 5th points. He has failed to show why we should be abolishing every single form of assistance in all sectors, as he has focused his entire case on the military. He is essentialy trying to win this debate on the ridiculous claim that Pakistan, one of the poorest countris in the world, filled with terrorist groups, doesnt want or need assistance.
Now let's move to my opponents case.
I've already shown why his first point falls. (60% live on under two dollars a day (wikipedia))
The rest of his points are about why we need to stop military funding to Pakistan.
Two huge problems with this.
First, my opponent fails to take into account the huge risks associated with suspending military aid, whether it is an extremist takeover of government, or the early withdrawral from Afghanistan and loss of many crucial trade routes
Second, my opponent is forgetting that he must defend ALL assistance, not just military assistance. He has failed to defend the suspensions of military assistance, and he never justifies suspending educational, agricultural, medical, developmental and other forms of assistance that ewe currently give to Pakistan.
There are also specific problems with his second and third points.
His second point is that Pakistan is giving the Taliban U.S weapons, making the war on terror. He avoids the fact that should we suspend assistance, those very terrorists could takeover government, and that since many are in Pakistan, we could not win the War on Terror without cooperation from the Pakistani government.
His third point is about the secret plans being released. The problems from above (response to second point) stand. Also, he has failed to impact this. So what if China has low-flying planes?? Why should this outweigh the nuclear harms and national security risks of suspension.
For having no standing impacts on my opponents side, no legitamate responses to my impacts, and (most importantly) for my opponent only defending a small portion of the resolution, you must vote con
Thank You

Welcome to the Counselor's Corner...
Hello! My name is Christi Kreigh and I am very excited to be in my fifth year as the High School Counselor for Triton Public Schools.
First thing's first... what can I do for YOU?! As the school counselor, my most basic mission is to help insure students are academically, emotionally/mentally and vocationally ready for high school and beyond. This means I support students with their personal/social, academic, and career development, including any post-secondary planning decisions. No matter if you are a student, parent, staff or community member, please treat me as a resource. I am here for you!
High school is a very important time in a student's life. Yes that means ALL FOUR YEARS! This time sets up students for the many years that will come after high school as a contributing member of society. That may sound pretty daunting, but all it means is that your days in high school will take time, energy and hard work...but it will all be worth it! Doing well in high school will afford you the best opportunities for fulfilling all of your goals and dreams! Starting to plan as early as possible will also allow for the best range of opportunities. This does not mean that I expect every student to know exactly what job they want to do after high school, I know I didn't have it all figured out! But be open to the journey and the process that is before you and start to think seriously about life post-high school graduation.
Again, I am here to help Triton High School students to be successful. Parents, students, staff and community members, please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions, concerns or comments that you would like to discuss.
I look forward to getting to know all of you and to calling Triton my home too!

Blogs are mainly intended for the seekers who found theological, religious, spiritual and theoretical philosophies as useless raft to realize the ultimate truth and interested in deeper self-search and direct realization.But the emergence in the aspirants' mind of such a doubt is itself the signal that the his ignorance that bound him to experience the birth, life and death as reality have got loosened, and that with the sharp razor of wisdom , he can easily overcome the ignorance and assimilate and realize ultimate truth. Spirituality does not consist in the mastery of scriptural knowledge or intellectual speculation or logical conclusions. , but in the realization of the true self, which is neither the waking entity nor the dream entity. Without this Knowledge, it is futile to try to know ultimate truth.As the years roll by, life in all its myriad ramifications still seems elusive as ever.Living simply and wisely, like our ancestors seems unattainable in today's world. knowledge begets pain, seems to unify in the way of an unconsumated marriage of fire with water.No celestial dance of any kind, once you underwrite the ..."urbane madness" everything is unreal,artificial!!
Like the phoenix rising from the pine forests of Arizona, my mind wanders in the complete silence of the this symbol, to rekindle the lost fire in my heart.In love, pain is a blessing that will be blown away to the four corners, by the desert's vast supply of winds.

To make this lasagna recipe, we use layers of a basic white sauce rather than the usual ricotta cheese, making it rich and flavorful without being too heavy.
It also features "no-boil" lasagna noodles. These are a huge time-saver over ordinary lasagna noodles that you have to boil and drain. With the no-boil variety, you just assemble the lasagna with the uncooked noodles, seal it tight with foil and bake. As the sauce simmers, the noodles cook all on their own.
What You'll Need
- 2 1/2 cups milk (whole)
- 35 grams unsalted butter (slightly more than ¼ stick)
- 30 grams all-purpose flour (around 1/3 cup)
- 1/2 pound ground beef
- 1/2 pound ground pork
- 1 medium onion (chopped)
- 3 cloves garlic (chopped)
- 6 to 8 white mushrooms (sliced)
- 2 cans tomato sauce (28 ounces each)
- 2 teaspoon oregano
- 2 teaspoon basil
- kosher salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
- 1 box lasagna noodles (no boil version)
- 2 cups mozzarella cheese (shredded)
- 1/2 cup parmesan cheese (grated)
How to Make It
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- Prepare the white sauce: Melt the butter in a heavy-bottomed saucepan while you warm the milk in a separate pan. Add the flour to the butter and stir to form a roux. Cook for about two minutes, then slowly whisk in the warm milk. Season to taste with Kosher salt.
- Make the red sauce: Brown the ground beef and pork in a large skillet or heavy-bottomed saucepan. Drain excess fat (reserving 2 Tbsp for the next step), remove meat from pan and set aside.
- Sauté the onion in the reserved fat for about 10 minutes or until the onion is translucent. Add the mushrooms and garlic, and cook until the mushrooms are soft, another 5 minutes or so.
- Return the meat to the pan and add the tomato sauce and dried herbs. Bring to a simmer and cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, just until everything is heated through. Remove the red sauce from heat and season to taste with Kosher salt and black pepper.
- Assemble the lasagna: Ladle enough red sauce to cover the bottom of a 3-qt ovenproof baking dish. Arrange a layer of pasta atop the red sauce, then another layer of red sauce. Drizzle roughly one-third of the béchamel evenly atop the red sauce. Repeat the previous step two more times — pasta, red sauce and béchamel — until you have three layers in place.
- Spread the shredded mozzarella evenly atop the lasagna, then sprinkle with the grated parmesan. Cover the dish tightly with foil and bake for 40 minutes.
- Remove foil and bake for about 10 more minutes, or until the cheese on top has browned slightly. Remove lasagna from oven and cool for 10 minutes before serving.

During our lives, we are there for our children whenever they need us. It is our job to guide them and exert control when necessary. We teach them life lessons. We give them advice when they are making a big decision. We give them emotional support during a difficult experience. Yes, we even give them financial help in some situations. What happens when we are gone?
Trusts help provide parental guidance even after we're gone
Pennsylvania property division laws not replaced by tabloid cases
Many Pennsylvania couples cannot wait to begin making purchases together as newlyweds. Buying a house, furniture and vehicles are often common purchases made by couples. Unfortunately, when couples decide to divorce, marital property division can become a tense issue when it comes to dividing items. There may also be confusion as what to constitutes as one party's voluntarily disowning a piece of property. Because divorce processes can be confusing, it is important that information is gained from the right sources.
Pennsylvania property division laws not replaced by tabloid cases
Back child support amnesty offered in a Pennsylvania county
Back child support can not only be a frustrating issue for the person who should be receiving the payments but also for the person who owes. If child support payments are not made or for some extenuating circumstance cannot be made, the non-paying party could face serious legal consequences. This situation could leave a parent fearful about seeking help for their predicament. One Pennsylvania county is offering a deal that may help some in this situation.
Exploitation of seniors a problem doctors want to help diagnose
The truth is that in many cases the administration of an estate can leave some actual or even expectant beneficiaries dissatisfied with their inheritance. Some beneficiaries may think that their inheritance is too small, someone else's was too large or that the gifts made in the will simply don't make sense.
International child custody issue may interest Pennsylvanians
Beneficiary blunder leaves ex-wife with unintended benefit
We recently wrote about life insurance policies in our Pennsylvania Probate and Estate Blog. Warnings were given in relation to beneficiary designations and the possibility of unintended consequences. For instance, naming a minor child could cause problems because insurance company policy often prohibits direct distribution to minors.
Failure to pay child support means arrest for Pennsylvania woman
When it comes to divorce, there are many decisions that need to be made and solutions that need to be found for many issues. When there are children involved, there are added issues such as child custody and child support. The parents who are awarded custody of their children often rely on child support payments from the noncustodial parent in order to pay for their children's needs. When parents do not make these payments, it can lead to hardships for the children and, as with the case of one woman living in Pennsylvania, arrest for the parent accused of failing to make payments.
Is The Giving Pledge a way to avoid conflict?
Warren Buffett has made it clear that his frugal nature has helped contribute to his extreme level of wealth. It is often a surprise to learn that despite his billions, he still lives in a house that he purchased years ago for somewhere around $30,000.

Podcast: Play in new window | Download
"Although we've come to the end of the road………."
And so we have. This, our 89th episode is also our last on Toxic Radio and we celebrate not only the end of another awesome year, not only the holiday season but also Toxic Radio itself. For 2 years we've grown along with Toxic Radio into a well established paranormal radio show and we couldn't be more grateful that Toxic Mike and his network gave us the platform from which to launch ourselves. But this show isn't only about goodbyes, it's also our annual Christmas themed show and that mean lots of Christmas paranormal news. From Krampus to the Belschnikle we go around the world and visit a host of creepy Yuletide creatures before coming back in for one last group hug with Toxic Mike himself.
Last but certainly not least we want to thank all of you….the listeners. Without all of your ears pointed in our direction we'd just be talking to ourselves and what fun would that be? So THANK YOU from the Paradelphia Crew and we wish you all the Happiest of Holidays and nothing but the best in 2016!!

Archie League was the first Air Traffic Controller.
On May 15, 1930, Ellen Church became the world first's stewardess. Church was a registered nurse. After not being hired as a pilot, she pitched the idea of airborne nurses to assist passengers. Boeing Air Transport accepted her idea. In the early years, stewardesses not only attended to the airborne needs of the passengers, but on occasion refueled the airplane and helped start the engines.
The Fédération Aéronautique Internationale (FAI) Sporting Code for astronautics recognizes only flights that exceed an altitude of 100 kilometers (62 mi).

Vesna Vulovic, a flight attendant who in 1972 fell 33,000 feet in the tail of an exploded DC-9 jetliner; she landed in snow and lived.
Joe Hermann of the Royal Australian Air Force, blown out of his bomber in 1944 without a parachute. He found himself falling through the night sky amid airplane debris and wildly grabbed a piece of it. It turned out to be not debris at all, but rather a fellow flier in the process of pulling his ripcord. Joe hung on and, as a courtesy, hit the ground first, breaking the fall of his savior and a mere two ribs of his own.
Nick Alkemade, an RAF tailgunner who jumped from his flaming turret without a parachute and fell 18,000 feet. When he came to and saw stars overhead, he lit a cigarette. He would later describe the fall as "a pleasant experience." Nick's trick: fir trees, underbrush, and snow.
Juliane Koepcke,a quiet seventeen year-old high school senior on her way to visit her father, fell two miles out of the sky, without a parachute, crunching into the dirt floor of the Amazon Rain Forest. On Christmas Eve 1971,Peru, LANSA Flight 508 exploded after be hit by lightening. Koepcke fell still strapped to her seat. After eleven days in the jungle, she made her way to a logging camp where she got first aid from the loggers and a canoe ride to an airstrip where she was flown to hospital.
When you hear one single "BING," it's a passenger who rang his/her button for the flight attendant to render assistance (or another drink). When you hear two-tone "BING-Bong," it's the pilot, ringing the flight attendant's phone because he/she wants to talk to them. When you hear two full "BING-Bong… BING-Bong…" tones, it means you've been cleared for landing and its time to put up your tray table and seat back.
Why do airlines turn the cabin lights out on takeoff and landing?
Believe it or not, they do this so your eyes will adjust to lower levels of light. If there's an accident and they have to deploy the emergency slides, studies have shown that you'll be able to see better and thus be able to evacuate more quickly and safely.

Taser has shocked the law enforcement world by announcing that it will be offering free body cameras and a year of access to the company's cloud storage system to all American police forces.
Rick Smith, the CEO of the company, told Ars Technica that they want to change the adoption rate of cameras across the U.S. "Only 20 percent [of police officers] have a camera. 80 percent are going out with a gun and no camera," Smith said. Of course, this was not necessarily out of the goodness of their heart either. "We only need 20 to 30 percent conversion to make it profitable. We expect 80 percent to become customers," Smith continued.
Along with the offer, Taser will be changing its name to Axon, the name of its brand of body cameras, which now is its flagship product. Axon is currently dominating the market in body cameras, making profits of $90 million from 2012 to 2016.
Police have been warming to the ideas of body cameras in the past couple of years, especially as the public backlash against supposed police brutality has become more and more prevalent. Two-thirds of officers are in favor of them, according to a recent Pew study. "We have protests against the police on a pretty regular basis," Smith explained. Police now see cameras as being crucial to protecting themselves against any false accusations, as well as highlighting professionalism on the job.
Not only do body cameras protect police from false accusations, but they could be used to help cut down the amount of administrative work needed. "Our belief is that a body camera is to a cop what a smartphone is to a civilian," Smith said. "Cops spend about two-thirds of their time doing paperwork. We believe, within ten years, we can automate police reporting. We can effectively triple the world's police force."
However, there are some criticisms of Taser's move. Elizabeth Joh, a law professor at UC Davis, explained her worries in an email to Ars Technica:
Taser is clearly positioning itself to be identified as the (only) police body-camera company, which has some potentially troubling consequences for policing… Police departments don't buy body cameras every year, so being the first mover means that [Taser] will be the first-and perhaps last-model of body camera most police departments will adopt. (Can you identify any other electric stun gun company other than Taser?) Even more worrisome is the basic relationship: The police are the customers and Taser/Axon is the vendor. A tech vendor is making important decisions about policing.

25/02/17 : Mens 1 vs Henley
Home - Havant College
Won 3 - 1
A good home win for Havant who played some attractive hockey scoring three goals, which could have been far more had it not been for an excellent performance from the Henley keeper.
The first chance of the game feel to Havant in the 2nd minute after Maciej centred across the Henley goal, but the diving James Speke could not get his stick on the ball. Two minutes later Speke shot wide after Niall Stott found him unmarked in the Henley circle. Havant took the lead in the 7th minute from their first penalty corner. Niall Stott once again started a slick move involving Mike Deller-Merricks and Tomek Bruml (who was celebrating his 18th birthday today), which resulted in Adam Seccull sending a drag flick under the Henley keeper.
Havant nearly went further ahead in the 16th minute after a three on two presented Louis Wrenn with a shot, but this was smothered by the advancing keeper. Henley at this point had their best spell of the half and put Havant under pressure. This pressure resulted in a penalty corner in the 20th minute, which they put wide. A minute later a Henley forward was gifted the ball from the defence, but his shot at goal was off target.
Havant's second goal came after some good approach work up the right wing. Tomek Bruml moved the ball to Adam Bloomfield who entered the circle and passed to Mike Deller Merrick who deflected the ball into the Henley goal. Havant started to build up pressure, but were rocked in the 24th minute when a high shot at goal was deflected high into the Havant goal, to put the visitors back in the game. In the last five minutes of the half Havant won two further penalty corners, the first was deflected wide for a long corner and the second resulted in Niall Stott looping the ball high on his reverse over the keeper, which went just the wrong side of the post.
Henley started the second half strongly and won their 2nd penalty corner in the 40th minute, which resulted in a re-take, which they put wide. Two minutes later Havant nearly scored from their 4th penalty corner, but Adam Seccull's flick was defected by the keeper and then saved on the line by a defender standing inside the right hand post. Havant had a really good chance within a minute when James Speke was unmarked in the circle, but as he turned to shoot he slipped and the chance was gone.
Havant were having a good spell, but were guilty of forcing the play with long balls through the middle. Despite this they constantly tested the visitors defence. Henley had their moments when they built play well through midfield, but they lacked the penetration to trouble Chris Bristow in the Havant goal. Havant's dominance made Henley drop back to half court to get a hold back in the game, but this allowed Havant to roll up the play bypassing the Henley midfield resulting with chances for Niall Stott, Adam Bloomfield, James Speke and Louis Wrenn, but all were thwarted by the Henley keeper.
James Speke hit the outside of the post from a deflected cross in the 60 minute, but the inevitable happened after such pressure when James Speke deflected a cross from Adam Bloomfield into the roof of the net. Two minutes later Chris Bristow at the other end pulled off a good save high to his left and the game closed with two more penalty corners, the first for Havant which was not stopped and the other to Henley at the final whistle, which came to nothing.

An outdoor pizza oven is safe to use as long as all of the necessary safety and usage precautions are followed. They should be used by adults only and never by children.Continue Reading
Outdoor pizza ovens can be bought or built. When setting up a pizza oven it must not be located too close to the home or anything else that could be flammable. There must always be a fire extinguisher or an extinguishing agent nearby. Precautions must also be taken on the type of wood burned in the oven, not only due to regional circumstances but also due to the effects on the flavour of the pizza. It is advised not to use an outdoor pizza oven in any region that is prone to forest fires.Learn more about Ovens & Ranges
