MILWAUKEE, Dec. 19, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- For the third year in a row, nearly 70 percent of North American employees do not plan to use all of their annual vacation time, according to Right Management, the talent and career expert within ManpowerGroup (NYSE: MAN). The 2013 results of the online poll report 69 percent of respondents will not take all their annual vacation, which is consistent with the 70 percent reported for both 2011 and 2012. This year, only 31 percent indicated they will use all their vacation by year end.

"Every employee at every level should be encouraged to take time to reenergize, recharge and relax to be more satisfied and productive on the job," said Matt Norquist, General Manager at Right Management. "The importance of vacation cannot be understated in today's workplace when companies are doing more with less and adding workloads to their teams."
According to Norquist, taking vacation time is a vital part of maintaining job satisfaction, and employees who take time off are more inspired and motivated to do their best work. Right Management's engagement solutions focus on creating a culture that increases productivity and makes employees feel valued at the same time.
"Ultimately, vacations contribute to engaged, loyal and satisfied employee teams and build a positive workplace culture that not only reduces turnover, but also creates a stronger brand image in the market," said Norquist.
Right Management surveyed 763 workers throughout North America via an online poll that ran from November 16 to December 15.

10 November 2012
Hundreds of trade unionists and campaigners will hear from a brilliant range of speakers and take part in debates and workshops on fighting austerity and injustice at the Unite the Resistance conference on 17 November – and the full agenda is out now.
The national conference will take place just days after millions of workers across Europe are set to take part in a general strike.
It will to bring together trade unionists, students, anti-cuts and community campaigners to debate how we build an effective fight backagainst austerity, inequality and injustice.
We hope the conference will provide a forum to learn from resistance here and internationally, to debate the way forward and to help build a network of activists in every union, community, workplace and college that can organise together and build solidarity in the struggles ahead.
Opening plenary: The Tories and the neoliberal assault
With PCS general secretary Mark Serwotka, South African striking miner Tumi Moloi, NUT deputy general secretary Kevin Courtney (pictured), Sheila Coleman from the Hillsborough Justice Campaign, FBU general secretary Matt Wrack, Unite NEC member Gill George and Owen Jones author of Chavs.
Activists from Egypt, Spain and Greece will also speak at the conference, bringing news from the international struggle against austerity.
Speakers at conference workshops will include Michael Mansfield QC, who has represented people fighting back against injustice from miners fitted up by police at Orgreave to the Hillsborough families.
He will discuss 'Solidarity, protest and the law', with Carol Duggan, aunt of Mark Duggan who was killed by police in Tottenham, anti-blacklisting campaigner Dave Smith and Alfie Meadows, the victimised student currently on trial after taking part in the student protests against fees.
Other worksops include 'Building a strategy to defend the NHS' with Wendy Savage of Keep Our NHS Public, Ray Gill of Save Our Hospitals Ealing, Unison NEC member Karen Reissmann (peaking in a personal capacity) and other health workers and campaigners organising against attacks on pay, closures and cuts.
Speakers on 'Our vision for education' include Katie O'Neil who was involved in the successful Chicago teachers' strike in the US, John Holmwood from the Campaign for the Public University, Prof Steven Ball of the Institute of Education and NUS NEC member Jamie Woodcock.
A workshop on 'Benefits, scapegoating and organising' will hear from Merry Cross (Disabled People Against Cuts), BFAWU Ronnie Draper BFAWU general secretary, NUS NEC member (further education) Jamil Keating and Mark Dunk from Right to Work
There will also be a workshop on 'Fighting for equality as part of the fight against austerity', with Zita Holbourne PCS NEC and BARAC, Unite NEC member Sara Bennett and Ronan McNeren of Queer Resistance and Occupy.

They do not. If its something like a weapon model or scenery (not collision) then it wont count. Open edges and stuff only count if its rendering it as a collision.

Open Edges and Weapon Models
Aug 25, 2014 12:20 AM
(Total replies: 3)
Do the open edge/sealed world rules apply to first and/or third person weapon models? I know they apply to collision models but I am unsure if they apply to the actual weapon model.
I ask because I am currently modelling a weapon where I could save many polygons by breaking the sealed world rule, but I am unsure if that will affect my ability to get it ingame.
Thanks for any help guys!

Halo 5 Logo Revealed in the Updated Xbox One CGI Trailer

I didn't like Halo 4. The campaign was good, and probably had a better story than most halo games. I didn't enjoy the encounters in the game as much, but I can't quite think of why. Haven't played Spartan Ops due to cbf.
Multiplayer was a let down, however. As a person who plays to win, and enjoys the competitive aspect of the game, I feel that Halo 4 didn't have much to offer me in this aspect. They added many random aspects, such as ordinance. Another thing is how weapons disappeared very quickly, and not many spawned on the map. This removed things like remembering weapon spawns, and where power weapons were dropped, which added skill to the game in my opinion. The new loadout based spawn system also removed equal starts. I admit it's nice to start with a carbine, my fave weapon, but every player starting with the same stuff was an integral part of the game up until reach. The instant respawn system also makes map control a lot more difficult, and the spawns in general are horrible. If I kill someone, they shouldn't spawn behind me and kill me before my shields are back. /rant

The holiday season is upon us and 2020 is on the horizon. From "Reconstruction" to "Chasing the Moon" to "Molly of Denali," the Education team is thankful for the experiences...
See What's New at Knowitall.org!
As you know, technology is always changing…and constantly improving! This generation of students has the advantage of more technology available than any generation before them, and it is remarkable how quickly these changes have come about!
As many of you may already know, we at ETV have been in the process of updating and relocating our resources from the original Knowitall.org website to our updated, tablet and mobile-friendly Knowitall Media website. It is now time to say a fond farewell to our original Knowitall.org website and to redirect all users to our new Knowitall.org!
As we reflect on the past, we recognize that we have lived in interesting times! Over the years we've been developing content for K-12 students, teachers and parents, we've transitioned from what was once our standard—smaller video files, encoded at fairly low resolution, and shared over a very limited amount of bandwidth, across all school districts in our state—accessed in computer labs and media centers, shared by an entire campus full of students. Now, with increased bandwidth and the availability of one-to-one learning, with tablets in many classrooms, students have, or will soon have, access to more content than we ever could have been imagined, when we began our work on our original Knowitall.org—in 1998!
Now, as we say goodbye to the original Knowitall.org, and Knowitall Media becomes the new Knowitall.org, we'd like to remind you that we have upgraded as much of the original content as we could to mp4 files, which can be played on tablets. However, there is still a small amount of content that is not yet available in a format that can be played on tablets and mobile devices. We continue to work to bring this content forward, so that you will have access to it in the future. In the meantime, please be aware that some files will not play on a tablet. However, the good news is that so many will!
In addition to bringing this content over to the new Knowitall.org, we have also added some new content—and to make Knowitall.org the rich media resource you've come to expect, we've also added some additional content from our tape vault, as well! All of our content is now available on our newer site (Knowitall Media), however, we are changing the name of Knowitall Media to simply Knowitall.org. If this seems confusing, please know that no matter which website you pull up, you will be redirected to the new Knowitall.org. The original Knowitall will be retired by the end of July.
We can't wait to tell you about some new content, now available on the new Knowitall.org!
Young people benefit from involvement in the civic life of their communities, and their communities become more democratic when youth have a voice in the decisions that affect their lives. Ready To Vote is designed to help teachers introduce middle and high school students to one of their most important activities as a citizen – voting. Ready To Vote also provides facts about the principles of the Constitution, the branches of U.S. Government and explores how the electoral process works.

From Middle School to High School, teenage girls face unique pressures every day. Between issues with bullying, body image, boys, friends and "frenemies," life during that awkward transitional period can feel like it's filled with challenges. It's important that our girls have role models, people to look up to, think about, and speak with, to help navigate those landmines.

He moved to the United States while in high school and graduated from Andrews University and the University of Cincinnati College - Conservatory of Music. Nakahara has won several awards and he is an ambassador for classical music, speaking about a wide range of topics, including arts advocacy, leadership skills, and economic development at local businesses and service organizations.
Ernest Middleton loves electricity. At 14, Middleton says his life was not going in the right direction and his mother decided to send him to his uncle, an electrician. Together, the pair did wiring work and his uncle encouraged Middleton to pursue the trade further. Once in trade school in Charleston, Middleton found his passion and decided to pursue an engineering degree at the University of South Carolina. But a difficult course nearly ended his goal to become an engineer. It was a teacher, who encouraged him not to quit and to volunteer for Partners for Minorities in Engineering & Computer Science, a camp that seeks to attract women and minorities into engineering and computer science fields. Thirty-two years later, Middleton now helps lead the program. He says he sees himself in the students there. "Try, try, try, otherwise you will never know how far you can reach," says Milddleton. He encourages all students to reach for the stars, saying, "you can do anything, if you put your mind to it."

Tourism and Vernacular Regions
Tourism is important to South Carolina's economy. Promotion of the tourism regions helps draw visitors to South Carolina. For more about the tourism regions, ETV Shorts spotlights unique places to visit in each region.
Vernacular regions are based on the tendency of people to refer to a place not only by its formal name, but also by some informal geographic terms.

Poet Ken Pobo talks about collaborating with Stacy Esch on his new chapbook, When the Light Turns Green
Patricia Clark on teaching poetry and writing chapbooks
Staff intern Katelyn Tarasiewicz got a chance to interview poet Patricia Clark this summer, on the occasion of her new chapbook, Wreath for the Red Admiral, published by Spruce Alley Press.
You are a professor. Where do you teach and what is your favorite course to teach?
teach at Grand Valley State University in Michigan. We have a Writing
Department separate from the English Department. I teach creative
writing. I love teaching our Poetry Workshop –
we have both an intermediate class and an advanced one. The
intermediate one is an especially good one to teach – students have
been introduced to poetry, but just barely. I get to show them some of
the wonderful contemporary poets writing today & unleash
them to write some poems.
Often I give "prompts" for poems – it is a
little less terrifying to have an assignment rather than just being told
to "Write a poem." Students can write list poems, do a "found" poem;
they write about a work of art, doing an "ekphrastic"
poem. There are many fun assignments, as well as just trying a poem
"imitating Tony Hoagland, or Mary Oliver." We do workshops of student
poems, and they are learning a lot about how to read poems carefully and
give comments (constructive ones) to other students.
By the end of the course, students put together a portfolio of their
work. They can make astounding progress in the course, and it is often
thrilling to see their growth as writers.
poets have influenced you to become the strong poet you are today, and are there any specific poets/poems that inspired you to write this
new chapbook?
have certainly been influenced by my own teachers – Nelson Bentley,
Richard Hugo, Madeline DeFrees, Stanley Plumly, and Cynthia Macdonald,
as well as
Edward Hirsch. All of these teachers value lyrical poems that have
surprising turns of language and encourage poems that try to plumb
emotional depths. I continue in that tradition, I'd say.
I'm not sure
there are particular models I have in mind for the chapbook
– maybe the work of Jane Hirshfield. She's a California poet whose
work I greatly admire, and I studied with her, briefly, at a poetry
workshop in Napa Valley.
have written other poetry books; what got you started in writing
chapbooks? And what is different about this chapbook compared to those
you have done in the past?
chapbook is a briefer collection of poems – and chapbooks have become
very popular today. I see it as an opportunity to put a small collection
together, combining poems in a different
way from a long, full collection. The poems in Wreath for the Red
Admiral have not appeared together before – and I think of a collection
of poems as a kind of narrative, perhaps, with an emotional arc of some
kind. A reader is invited in at the beginning
of the collection, and then introduced to some issues or "problems," if
you will, and then carried along on a journey of reading poems,
hopefully reaching a kind of resolution at some point, a satisfying
moment, perhaps, of insight or resolution. That's what
I hope for with this small book.
only done one previous chapbook. That was a somewhat different grouping
because the editors specifically wanted Michigan or Midwest poems. I
put them together with that intention, more
than having an emotional arc.
Your books seem to focus on nature. Is there a reason for that?
there is nature in these poems – and that's because the imagery of
nature intrigues me, inspires me, causes me to think and mull and muse
about things – and then I hope there are
deeper connections found. So I would resist, for example, someone
saying, "Oh, that's a poem about bird nests in winter." Yes, and no. It
does start with images of bird nests but I hope there is reflection,
pondering, and wondering that takes the reader on
a journey to some other realization – a way of seeing something new,
or in a new way.
Wreath for the Red Admiral is available through lulu.com, Amazon, Barnes and Noble, and can be ordered from fine booksellers everywhere.

Test 1
Lie on your front and bend your injured knee to 90 degrees.
Get someone to push down on your heel and twist the knee joint at the same time first one way and then the other. If you get pain when the heel is pushed down and twisted then you might have cartilage damage.
Test 2
You can pull the leg up yourself or get someone else to push for you. If you get pain then you might have cartilage damage.

Is your Mouth of Chi blocked, cluttered or just plain messy? The Mouth of Chi* is a term used in Feng Shui*. It references your front door, the primary point of entry into your home (or office or cubicle), whether you favor that door or another. The Mouth of Chic is much like our physical […]
Buddhism's first noble truth, "All life is suffering," is an invitation for people to accept that suffering is a natural part of life. The term "Kabbalah" literally means acceptance. Acceptance is the fifth stage of the Kubler-Ross model (a.k.a. the 'stages of dying').
The Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous states that acceptance, when used wisely, can resolve situations where a "person feels disturbed by a "person, place, thing or situation – some fact of life – [which is] unacceptable to me."
Our Lady of Weight Loss says that if it is your intention to win the 'lose it' game, then you are best served to accept the many changes that you are going to make.
Whenever resistance rears her lovely head (all is grist for the mill and a learning experience, so – yes – resistance is lovely), note it – as in write it down – so that you can revisit the resistance when you head is clear. This will enable you to consciously, with awareness and insight move toward acceptance, which is key to your weight loss success story. Seriously – read that again and take it in on a cellular level: acceptance is key to your weight loss success story!!!
Here are a few example of the changes that you are beginning to make now, followed by 9 Acceptance Quotes that can help to light your fires of acceptance. These are but a few examples; not an entire list. There are many more ways of being and doing that need to change – so please, feel free to create your own list.
- Change the way you eat.
– fast vs. slow
– healthy vs. unhealthy
- Change where you eat.
– standing up vs. sitting down
– walking vs. at the table
– restaurants that refuse to substitute salad for fries vs. health-friendly eateries
- Change what you eat and drink.
– 50% of your plate fruits and vegetables vs. 100% candy bars
– water vs. soda
– stock you house with foods that support your efforts vs. buying all kinds of 'crap' and saying that you're
– buying it for other people who either live with you or are visiting
- Change your relationship to your bathroom scale.
– freaking out if the number is too high (based on your expectations, realistic or otherwise) vs. it's just a number
You get the idea, don't you? If you are going to fight each and every change, have a pity party or worse, then you are likely to fall into the pit of discontent, stay stuck in your rut and not make it to the promised land, a.k.a. Sveltesville.
Now … the 9 QUOTES:
Acceptance of one's life has nothing to do with resignation; it does not mean running away from the struggle. On the contrary, it means accepting it as it comes, with all the handicaps of heredity, of suffering, of psychological complexes and injustices. ~ Paul Tournier
Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend. ~ Melody Beattie
The first step toward change is awareness. The second step is acceptance. ~ Nathaniel Branden
The first thing a kindness deserves is acceptance, the second, transmission. ~ George MacDonald
The keys to patience are acceptance and faith. Accept things as they are, and look realistically at the world around you. Have faith in yourself and in the direction you have chosen. ~ Ralph Marston
Rebellion against your handicaps gets you nowhere. Self-pity gets you nowhere. One must have the adventurous daring to accept oneself as a bundle of possibilities and undertake the most interesting game in the world, making the most of one's best. ~ Harry Emerson Fosdick
Often, its not about becoming a new person, but becoming the person you were meant to be, and already are, but don't know how to be. ~ Heath L Buckmaster
Always accept and feel comfortable with your flaws, that way no one can ever use them against you. ~ Anonymous
Don't "try" to understand the way it is. Sometimes it's not meant to be understood, but to be accepted. ~ Anonymous
With acceptance comes freedom.

Sam Concepcion Admits He And Jasmine Curtis Are Hanging OutAlthough they have yet to admit the real score of their relationship, Sam Concepcion and Jasmine Curtis have been going out a lot lately.
In an interview with PEP.PH, Concepcion admitted that he and the TV5 actress are just enjoying each other's company. But like the actress, Concepcion admitted that he is now ready to be in a relationship.
He admitted that they spent time together over the weekend in Greenhills.
"Okey, we hang out a lot. We spend a lot of time together," he told PEP.PH. Concepcion added that they have known each other for a long time, so he cannot exactly pinpoint when was the time they got real close.
Concepcion said that he's very flattered by what Curtis said the other time. She told reporters that Concepcion is a potential boyfriend material.
"That's very flattering. If talagang sinabi niya 'yan, wow, masaya ako," he added.
On his part, Concepcion said that there is no doubt that Curtis is also a potential girlfriend. He said that she's very pretty and that she's such a nice person. He added that all the qualities one would look for in a girlfriend can be found in Curtis.
"Let's see if we can go further," he told PEP.PH.
Concepcion said that he still doesn't know how Jasmine's sister, Anne Curtis, will react to their rumored relationship. He said though that he and Anne are okay, and that he occasionally sees her in ABS-CBN.
He said that he will pursue Curtis at the right time. "Time will tell kung kelan kasi we're still working a lot para sa career namin."
He added that Curtis would still like to follow the footsteps of her big sister, Anne. But Concepcion clarified that Jasmine was never jealous of Anne, and was instead inspired by her.
"So, I guess, I'm just here to support her," he told PEP.PH.
"I want to be close sa family niya. I want them to know me better also," he added.
Concepcion said that he believes that when he's courting a girl, he also has to please her family.

Court TV Loses N.Y. Camera Suit
The New York State Court of Appeals ruled Thursday that no constitutional rights are being violated by keeping television cameras out of the courtroom.
Court TV sued the state and the Manhattan district attorney's office in 2001, arguing that the ban is an infringement on protected freedoms and tells news organizations how to gather the news.
In its 7-0 decision, the court said it is the Legislature's job to decide whether trials may be televised.
"While we are, of course, disappointed that the Court of Appeals did not rule that the over-50-year-old New York State statute is outdated and unconstitutional on its face, we are delighted with their ruling that this is an issue that would be most properly remedied by the legislature," Court TV chairman and CEO Henry Schleiff said in a prepared statement.
"We completely understand the court's reluctance to act in place of the legislature in providing a remedy to our state's citizens, and we hope that our legislative representatives will now respond accordingly in providing the same access to our trial courts as exists in the vast majority of our other states," he added.
Schleiff continued, "Finally, we believe we should be proud of the American system of justice, and that there is no substitute for our own eyes and ears when it comes to seeing how our system works. Indeed, United States Supreme Court Justice Louis Brandeis was right when he said, 'Sunshine is the best disinfectant.'"

Preparing duck flank feathers
Posted 21 April 2019 - 02:43 PM
Posted 22 April 2019 - 10:00 AM
Personally I prefer my wings to split and separate, I think they swim better that way and I only tie fishing flies so looks don't matter. For the last few years I have only tied mixed or bunched duck flank wings, that is so much easier and separates the fibers before I even get my fly wet.
Posted 22 April 2019 - 10:34 AM
I will give my uneducated opinion, for what that's worth. The fancy, traditional Atlantic salmon flies should be tied as art and if you handle them carefully, they will be fine. If you want to catch Atlantic salmon, use spey flies.

A Hold-Parent—hold-father or hold-mother—was a close friend of a youngling's parents and an honorary title. Hold-parents would often bring gifts and toys to the younglings. In extreme circumstances, a hold-parent might adopt a youngling if something happened to their parents.
Lord Hethrir of the Empire Reborn pretended to be a hold-father to the Solo children when he kidnapped them in 14 ABY. The children were not fooled, however, realizing he was telling them lies.

Blogging has been a little hobby of mine for nearly 5 years now. That's a bloomin' long time. Over that time, there has been a lot of things it's given me, so I thought today I'd share them with you.
Confidence. This sounds a little silly, but over the years I've grown to be proud of my blog. For a few years, it was my little space on the internet that not many people knew about, I'd take all my outfit photos in the comfort of my own bedroom with my trusty tripod and self-timer, and I would cringe whenever someone in real life mentioned my blog. Fast forward to now, I'm roaming the streets for outfit photos, posing in public (this still makes me cringe, big time), and openly discussing my blog with everyone I meet.
Adventures with Jamie. Jamie has soon become my own personal blogging photographer. With his new interest of photography and videography, we've become the perfect pair and blogging has resulted in us searching far and wide for cute new locations to shoot in, which often end up being fun adventures too.
Something unique. Although a lot more people are blogging now than they were 5 years ago, it's still a fairly unique thing for me. It's something that gives me that edge, and makes me different to other people. For example, it helped me bag my internship 2 years ago, showing a bunch of skills I have that perhaps the average person might not have.
Blogging mail and a little bit of money. Let's not lie, everyone loves a freebie, and lucky for me blogging means I get a bit more freebies than the average person. Money is another thing – by no means am I earning thousands on my blog, certainly not enough to be anything substantial, but one highlight of blogging is every now and then I can earn a bit of cash. For me, this money is different to the money I earn from my part time job, and it's cash I feel a little less guilty treating myself with.
Skills. Blogging has opened me up to learning a magnitude of new skills. HTML, photoshop, SEO, writing, you name it, I've learnt a lot. Creativity is a big thing for me, despite having a blog, I'm not that creative, but having this space on the internet has given me that chance to work on my creativity. I'm definitely a more skilled person now than I was 5 years ago.
What has blogging given you?

Nursing Home Abuse Lawyers
Nursing Home Abuse Attorneys serving Oklahoma City, Tulsa and cities throughout Oklahoma
Nursing home abuse happens all too often in Oklahoma, and our elderly loved-ones suffer, often silently.
More Americans are turning to nursing homes to care for the elderly who can't care for themselves. Unfortunately many nursing homes are under staffed and their employees under paid and under trained. Long periods of neglect and lack of attention can lead to serious injuries and even premature death.
If you, or a family member, have been injured as the result of nursing home abuse of any kind, we can help.
Nursing home neglect or nursing home abuse can be both physical and emotional. Signs of poor hygiene, soiled bedding, dehydration, malnourishment, or bruising can be signals of both physical and emotional abuse.
Some examples of nursing home abuse or nursing home neglect include:
The results of nursing home abuse or neglect can include:
Often the most serious victims of nursing home abuse are vulnerable or helpless.They may be unable or fearful and unwilling to complain about it. Family members must be alert and visit often to watch for signs of either abuse or neglect.
Representing nursing home abuse and nursing home negligence victims and their families can be a very complex area of legal practice. It demands medical and legal knowledge along with knowledge of the nursing home industry. Experts in the medical field, including doctors and nurses are often required to develop the information and evidence necessary to prove who is legally responsible for the serious injuries and financial damages victims incur.
At Self and Associates we seek out and locate the experts necessary to best represent Oklahoma victims and their families of nursing home abuse and nursing home negligence. With 30 years of experience in handling injury and wrongful death cases James Self has the knowledge to assist you in navigating this complex area.

Thanks to the very generous Mouza over at Matt Ryan Daily, I have updated the gallery with the recent pictures of Dylan attending an event at Comic Con as well as pictures from the Young Hollywood Awards. Check them out below!
If you follow us on Twitter, you know that Dylan has attended San Diego Comic Con 2014 to promote Teen Wolf and The Maze Runner. In the last 2 days, I've updated the gallery with tons of pictures of Dylan attending various events within Comic Con which include events, panels, autograph and press events. Enjoy and keep checking back for more pictures!
Dylan attended Day 4 of the Giffoni FIlm Festival. So far 32 pictures of Dylan has been added to the gallery. When more becomes available, I will be adding more. Out of all the events Dylan has attended, this outfit has become one of my favorites. Don't you agree?
If you follow us on Twitter, then you know that Dylan along with director Wes Ball, co-star Will Poulter, and The Maze Runner James Dashner attended WonderCon 2014 which was held in Anaheim, California. 6 HQ pictures have been added to the gallery. Thanks Kieran from dylanobrienfans.com for most of the pictures!
If you follow us on twitter, you know that Dylan has officially arrived on the 2014 MTV Movie Awards red carpet! I've added the first of many pictures of Dylan from the show. As the night progresses, I will be added more pictures so keep coming back for those! Enjoy and don't forget that the MTV Movie Awards will start at 9PM on MTV.
Dylan O'Brien and others will attend Wondercon to promote and support the new Maze Runner film franchise.
20th Century Fox has announced in their Wondercon press release that Dylan O'Brien, James Dasher (writer), and Wes Ball (director) will be attending press events to represent The Maze Runner at the convention.
We reported earlier that The Maze Runner franchise would be attending Wondercon this year in some sort of fashion. After patiently waiting for more details to surface, we now know who to expect at the event.
The specifics of what might be discussed or shown at the April 19, 12:45 pm movie panel are still unknown. However, this does give us a clearer idea of who should be in attendance.
Source: hypable.com
When the 20th Century Fox film The Maze Runner was pushed back from its February release to September 19, the studio claimed it was to spend more time promoting the film. We've already learned that promotion for the film will include a stop by San Diego Comic-Con this summer, and now we can add another convention to the list: WonderCon.
Author James Dashner, who wrote the trilogy of books the upcoming film is based on, revealed the details of the panel on his website appearances. A panel for WonderCon is scheduled for Saturday, April 19, at 12:45 PM:
[UPDATE] Comic-Con International's official schedule lists the 20th Century Fox presentation beginning at 1:15, so expect the panel to be in that block.
Although Dashner offered no details about which cast members would be attending the convention, the film stars Teen Wolf's Dylan O'Brien, Will Poulter, Kaya Scodelario, Thomas Brodie-Sangster (Game of Thrones, Love Actually), and several other young stars. We've heard positive things from sources about O'Brien attending the panel, and expect some combination of other stars there as well — though we'll know more when CCI posts the completed programming schedule, likely sometime later this week.
Source: sdccblog.com
Also confirmed for SDCC is 20th Century Fox film The Maze Runner, the upcoming film based on the James Dashner young adult series. The film was originally slated for last month (and it even appeared at Nerd HQ during last summer's SDCC), but was pushed back to September19, 2014.
Lead actor Dylan O'Brien, best known for appearing in Teen Wolf,told Hypable last fall that the move will allow them to appear at San Diego Comic-Con in a much bigger way for 2014:
"We get to do Comic-Con San Diego next year, which we wouldn't have gotten to do otherwise, so that'll be good too."
We've also been hearing that it's very possible we'll be seeing the film and O'Brien at WonderCon next month.

On a whim I went to go see LES MISÉRABLES today (am I the only one who always wants to translate that and call it THE MISERABLES).
I'm not really big on musicals. I think the only ones on my list of favourite movies would be THE WIZARD OF OZ, WEST SIDE STORY (the bits without Tony and Maria whining) and WILLY WONKA. And I suppose THE MUPPET MOVIE would qualify. Other than those, I would re-watch stuff like BRIGADOON, THE MUSIC MAN, LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS, MARY POPPINS or SWEENEY TODD if they were on. That's actually more musicals I like than I was expecting, especially considering I haven't actually tried to watch most of the others considered classics... But still, not a whole lot of heavy dramatic stuff there.
Anyway, I'm trying to watch more movies in the theatre, especially things that look like they'd benefit from the experience, and the trailer for LES MISÉRABLES looked pretty good. And I missed the start time of DJANGO UNCHAINED. My relative lack of experience with musicals and not overly great hearing means I sometimes have trouble picking up all the words in musicals, which is why I prefer to watch them at home, where subtitles and rewinding are an option, but I figured I'd take a chance. If I ever read the original Victor Hugo novel it was long ago that I forgot, but I know enough of the story from cultural osmosis that I was sure I could follow it even if I missed some words.
I liked it quite a bit more than I was expecting to. I don't know if I'll ever watch the whole 2 1/2 hour thing again, since it did drag in bits, but I'll definitely take a look when I can watch it at home and revisit some of the good bits. It took some getting used to just how much singing there was, compared to most of the musicals I like, but by about half-way through it began to seem odd when there were brief bits of spoken dialogue, like, "why didn't he sing that bit?" or something. And I did end up missing a fair bit of the dialogue, but it was worth it to see some of those visuals on the big screen. And a lot of the performers did a great job, with Anne Hathaway on the top of that list, and Hugh Jackman not that far behind, and those aren't two actors I've been that impressed with before. Not as convinced by Russell Crowe, but its kind of a complex role and I'd have to see it again before being too critical.
So that was a Sunday afternoon well spent.

Digital filters can be more subtly specified than analogue filters, and so are specified in a different way:
Whereas analogue filters are specified in terms of their '3dB point'and their 'rolloff', digital filters are specified in terms of desired attenuation, and permitted deviations from the desired value in their frequency response:
The passband need not necessarily extend to the 3 dB point: for example, if passband ripple is specified as 0.1 dB, then the passband only extends to a point at which attenuation has increased to 0.1 dB.
Between the passband and the stopband lies a transition band where the filter's shape may be unspecified.
Note that the stopband attenuation is formally specified as the attenuation to the top of the first sidelobe of the filter's frequency response.
Digital filters can also have an 'arbitrary response': meaning, the attenuation is specified at certain chosen frequencies, or for certain frequency bands.
Digital filters are also characterised by their response to an impulse: a signal consisting of a single value followed by zeroes:
The impulse response is an indication of how long the filter takes to settle into a steady state: it is also an indication of the filter's stability - an impulse response that continues oscillating in the long term indicates the filter may be prone to instability.
The impulse response defines the filter just as well as does the frequency response.

When you were just an unmade promise,
I held you in hopeful stories of my future.
When you were just a wish, a being being willed to be,
I held you in my heart.
When you came true, just a speck of existence, as you grew from just a being to a being in flesh,
my body gave you a home, shelter, sustenance.
When you burst forth, out of dreams and into reality,
I cradled all of you in my arms.
For so long before and so long in waiting and so long in your beginning, I have held all of you –
in arms, inside me.
You always fit because you were a wish, a dream, a plus sign of existence, an infant.
Now I can't hold all of you in my arms,
legs dangle, arms wrap around, I'm knocked down by your love.
Each night you sleep and each morning you wake,
bigger, stronger, brighter, more.
I cup your cheek. Lace my fingers with yours. Nest your head on my lap.
Hopeful attempts at holding you whole again.
Those days of holding you whole in my arms are gone,
But I will always try to envelope all of you with each embrace.
When you began,
I was your home.
For ever,
I will be your home.
For ever,
I will hold all of your possibility, all of who you've been, who you are, who you might be, all of you.
For eternity,
I will hold you sacred in me, my heart, in prayer and in dreams.
I will always hold you.

I am usually not a last-minute person. As a matter of fact, I get really aggravated when I am working on something that has a deadline with someone else, and they procrastinate. So when I decided that I was going to knit a Clapotis, and ended up starting a separate blog, because so many other people were interested as well, I immediately started to look for yarn. I found plenty of possibilities, but for the most part, financial considerations made nearly all of them impossibilities.
I was getting pretty discouraged, when something floated into my brain one night, right before I fell asleep:
Last year, at Stitches East, I bought this skein of yarn at the Dancing Leaf Farms booth. It's their "Salsa" yarn, a wool/mohair blend, and this is the Pansy colorway. So the next morning, I pulled it out, and thought how perfect it would be ... except that I would need another skein. So I contacted Dalis, and she said that she could dye more if I wanted it. Originally, I was going to order two more skeins, so they would be from the same dye lot.
But the more I thought about it, the more I thought that since it was hand-dyed anyway, and I was making a Clapotis (as opposed to a sweater, for example, where dye lot is crucial), that I would only order another skein, and see what happened. So earlier this week, I finally got around to ordering the other skein. In the meantime, I can start out with this one, so it all worked out in the end!
(Note to Carol - before you get all hot and bothered, because I didn't get yarn from you, let me say that I decided on this because it was already here. This is not to say that a) I won't still buy some yarn from you, or b) I will only ever make one Clapotis. I would still like to try the yarns you were telling me about. There. OK???? See, I still love you and your yarns, honest!)
The "official" start date for the KAL is tomorrow, the first day of autumn. Having said that, I may not even get close to getting cast on tomorrow, as I have various necessary chores to do around here, and I'm taking a class tomorrow afternoon on finishing techniques at Rosie's. But if I don't have a chance to start knitting tomorrow, I'll at least wind the yarn ...
2. A package in the mail!
I came home Friday evening, and there was a package for me in the mail - hooray! I opened it, and these were inside:
My Sockapalooza 4 socks from my sock pal! Her name is Andrea, and she is in North Carolina, though in a note she sent along, she mentioned that she used to live in Philadelphia, and it turns out where she lived is about 2 1/2 blocks away! This picture makes the colors look brighter than they are, the socks are really more fall-ish looking, and they have baby cables - I do love cables. I tried them on, and they fit perfectly (please note that I refrained from saying "like they were made for me" ...)
I had received a note from Andrea, when the deadline for mailing socks had just barely passed, and she said she was behind on her knitting, but she would send me socks nonetheless. Last weekend, I got a note saying that they were finally finished and she was mailing them this week. Strangely enough, on Tuesday, I got a note from my "Sock Saviour" saying that she would make me a pair of socks since I never received mine (the coordinator had a database to keep track of such things)! I wrote back and told her that I appreciated it, but that my sock pal was sending my socks this week.
(And, to be honest - I'd completely lost track of all this, and forgot anyway. I'd like to say it's because I have been so very busy with extremely important things. But I have to admit to myself that I forgot because my brain resembles a sieve.)
Thank you Andrea, for a beautiful pair of socks! I can't wait to wear them, and will do so as soon as the weather cools down again.
PVSD (Post-Vacation Stress Disorder)
Though it does not appear in the latest edition of DSM, this is a legitimate threat to an individual's mental health. It occurs when you have been on vacation from your job - whether you have traveled, or simply stayed home and relaxed - and then the vacation is over and you must return to your regular routine. The worst part, work-wise, is that they expect you to come back and actually start working right away - what's that about??
On top of which, you have a ton of laundry to do, and bills that didn't get paid while you were away. Geez.
But possibly worst of all, the reaction of other family members goes from one end of the spectrum to the other:
Garden Kitty made sure that we spent as much time together as possible ...
Whereas, whenever I would go near Tess, or talk to her, she would turn her back on me and completely ignore me (after cuddling and purring for Tim).
(I feel fairly certain that Jetsam didn't even notice we were gone ...)

McKayla Maroney returns from social media hiatus wearing bikini top and PJs
After a monthlong hiatus from Instagram and her 1.6 million followers, McKayla Maroney is back with a burst of photos, some showing the former Olympic gymnast — whose on-the-podium smirk brought her instant fame back in 2012 — wearing jeans and a cute PJ top over a bikini.
The 21-year-old aspiring pop singer posted her comeback photo, a blurry long-haired image, on Wednesday, writing "happy 2 be back." But it was another post in which Maroney took the opportunity to explain her social media cleanse.
"So i just recently got into a pretty intense car accident w a couple friends in la, and it seriously got me thinking how quick ur life can be taken from u," she wrote. "Social media gets pretty heavy on me sometimes, and that's why i disappear a lot. it's purely for my own sanity, and happiness. i also have been busy (doing what i DO love) writing/making music, and i thought i'd rather give u guys dope music, than have a lit instagram."
Maroney's return to social media is making fans think that she is in fact ready to deliver great Instagram photos. As for the music, people are eagerly waiting to hear what she's been working on.

Low carb diet proponents are making a killing off diet book sales.
But what about the authors themselves?
If they eat their diet and it's so great, shouldn't they look thin and healthy?
We know the vegan diet doctors are all trim and enjoy robust health.
But the same doesn't appear to be true for the "experts" recommending diets heavy in meat and low in whole carbs.
Low-carb/high meat gurus featured in the video:
Loren Cordain, Author: "The Paleo Diet". Recommends you eat 55% meat.
Sally Fallon, Author: "Eat Fat, Lose Fat" - President Weston A. Price Foundation. Recommends meat, dairy, fish and vegetable fats.
William Davis, MD. Author: "The Wheat Belly" - Recommends no wheat, but lots of meat, dairy and oil.
Barry Sears, PhD, Author: "The Zone Diet". Recommends: meat, fish, and olive oil (restricts carbs).
Robert Atkins, MD. Author: "The Atkins Diet." Recommends bacon, brie and butter.

The video is a little one sided.
You "forgot" to show a picture of Jon Gabriel, who lost 220 lbs on a low carb diet, Dr Mark Hyman,The Blood Sugar Solution, who promotes to eat low carb and not to be too scared of the fat in avocado's, olive oil, etc. and Mark Sisson, who is with his >50 years in an absolute fantastic shape.
What those people have in common is that they eat low carb, lots of fresh vegetables, no grain, no diary and some fish, eggs or meat. Plus they get a lot of exercise.
I bet the vegan people you showed also eat a lot of fresh vegetables, no diary, no junk food, and move a lot.
In my opinion the problem is not if you feel better on beans or meat. The problem is if you eat enough fresh vegetables and get enough exercise.
As an aside, Mark Sisson may be a Paleo guru but he also talks about using testosterone as part of training (which he seems to admit isn't legal), see his interview here:
If you want to compare the vegan advocates to people promoting growth hormones, well that was not the purpose here. Sisson is held up by some as an example of Paleo, but he's also a supplement salesman saying pills and supplements are needed to get fit, see:
The video on this page was meant to look at people who are primarily pushing a particular diet, as opposed to how you can do intensive workouts or take HGH or supplements to impact your body shape.
@maggie: I've been learning from Jon Gabriel a lot lately and as far as I can see, he says he lost 200 pounds without dieting. He says all dieting causes the body to want to be fat. From what he says, he doesn't believe in diets at all.
That's right. He doesn't believe in diets.
He believes in adding healthy food, like vegetables, so you'll get your vitamins and minerals,so you'll be less deficient in that, which makes you less hungry. This way you switch to healthy food without fighting for it or pressure.
Only, when you look at his recipies, he did end up eating low carbo.
Jon Gabriel eats a low-carb diet, which will make you lose weight -- and your health. There is an excellent article debunking the paleo and low-carb diets like the one Jon Gabriel eats, by John McDougall MD.
This is must-read stuff for anyone sucked into the low carb nonsense.
Here's how the article starts:
The Paleo Diet Is Uncivilized (And Unhealthy and Untrue)
Low-carbohydrate (low-carb) diets are fueling the destruction of human health and our planet Earth. "Low-carbohydrate" means a diet high in animal foods and low in plant foods. Only plants synthesize carbohydrates (sugars). The body parts of animals, including red meat, poultry, seafood, and fish, and eggs, contain no carbohydrates. Animal secretions (like mammalian milk) contain sugars synthesized by plants (the cow eats the grass that made the sugar). The original Atkins Diet is the ultimate in low-carb eating. This diet works by starving the human body of carbohydrates in order to induce a state of illness (ketosis), which can result in weight loss. People become too sick to eat too much.
In an attempt to remedy the obvious harms to human health caused by very low-carb eating, apologists (including the Atkins Nutritionals) have added fruits and non-starchy vegetables to their programs. This effort is supposed to disguise, and compensate for, the unhealthy effects of consuming animal foods at every meal.
Oh, where to begin.
First of all, I eat a lowfat vegan diet, a la Drs. Esselstyn and McDougall. That is because it is the diet that makes me feel the best and has the best science on its side. I tried lowcarb for almost eight years (on and off) but I didn't lose any weight after the first 15 pounds, and always felt wired and wound up on it, and couldn't get a good night's sleep.
I don't even know where to begin regarding this video and Jeff Nelson's comment.
First of all, the video is sensational and misleading. I did a google search for the lowcarbers in the video and found several pics that were not headshots. They did not look fat at all, with the exception of Sally Fallon. I could also find you many pics of lowcarb/paleo "gurus" NOT included in the video who are quite lean.
Second, the opposing comments on the video have been deleted. Why? What are you afraid of? The truth can stand on its own. If you are deleting opposing comments it looks like you have something to hide or do not have faith in your position.
On to my next point -
Dr. McDougall's newsletter, The Paleo Diet Is Uncivilized, is inaccurate.
He claims that the original Atkins diet is "the ultimate in low carb eating", and that "In an attempt to remedy the obvious harms to human health caused by very low-carb eating, apologists (including the Atkins Nutritionals) have added fruits and non-starchy vegetables to their programs."
This is not true. First of all, EVERY form of lowcarb dieting allows "non-starchy vegetables". The original Atkins diet, from the first book, included fruits, all vegetables, and even grains after the initial induction period. Unfortunately for Dr. McDougall, for information about "the original Atkins diet", he provides a link to Webmd, which clearly states, "The diet does allow for adding fruits, vegetables, and whole-grain foods after the two-week induction period."
The whole newsletter is just a mess of inaccuracies.
Let me make it clear...I do not believe a lowcarb diet is healthy. I tried it, over and over, for almost eight years. I am now following a lowfat, plant-based diet and feel wonderful. However, no one is served by misrepresenting the facts.
I hope VegSource will take down this ridiculous, sensationalist, inaccurate, misleading video. And, it would be wonderful if Dr. McDougall would make the appropriate corrections to his "paleo" newsletter.
Regarding the video being misleading, it's not. It's the most recent videos/photos of the individuals in question I could find. Yes, I could find older photos, such as on their book jackets, which don't look fat. So what? They *used* to be thin, but couldn't hack their own diet? Plus they appear to have aged quickly, in addition to packing on weight.
As for other paleos who aren't fat, I'm certain they're out there. So what? These are the low carb bigshots who wrote the big books. That's my point. If you were buying a book on "how to get rich" and there were two schools of thought, if one school all the authors were rich, and the other school they weren't, whose program would you think works? If there are other low carb "gurus" out there, other than those not taking steroids or doing a ton of exercise to keep weight off, they didn't hit my radar, so they're not in there.
Can people lose on a Paleo diet? Why not! I have a friend who just went through chemo, lost 30 pounds. That doesn't mean I would recommend that any more than I would recommend low carb.
I'm not sure which opposing comments were deleted. If you mean the youtube website, some of those lunkhead comments get scrubbed, but I'm not aware of anything deleted here on VegSource.
As for your contention that Dr. McDougall's newsletter is "a mess of inaccuracies," since your own inaccuracies here are so easy to prove, I'm going to dismiss your rant there.
What those people have in common is that they eat low carb, lots of fresh vegetables, no grain, no diary and some fish, eggs or meat. Plus they get a lot of exercise.
Any one can lose weight on ANY diet if they follow it carefully and stick with it, which most people don't do. I can't believe that anyone would actually promote any of the diets by the FAT and clearly very unhealthy authors. Paula Deen is a classic example of someone who has peddled dead animals and is suffering the consequences of it. That people would turn away from a kind, humane and animal loving lifestyle such as veganism astonishes me.
I believe someone else pointed this out, but the fact is that if you want to be lean and energetic and not calorie restrict or overexercise, you have to eat a diet low in protein and fat, and high in carbohydrates. Such a diet can be more or less healthy, depending on to what extent you eat refined foods, cooked foods, animal foods, etc.
Contrary to what Jennifer Allen claims above, there are people who have gone from eating a paleo diet to eating a vegan diet, myself included. Cooked paleo did not digest well and left me weak and foggy, and raw paleo digested better but left me feeling much the same. Both paleo diets induced calorie restriction through appetite suppression unless I held protein to 20% or less.
A vegan diet with higher fat (over 10% of calories) required me to restrict intake in order to maintain weight (the food is more dense, more calories per bite and fills the stomach slowly) and involved eating oils which are not whole foods (unnatural) or copious amounts of avocados or nuts (also unnatural). Low-fat cooked vegan was better in terms of mood, energy and mental clarity but the food was difficult to digest and unappetizing without adding toxic irritants like salt, sugar, garlic, onions, vinegar, etc.
Low-fat raw vegan solved all the problems I had eating paleo or cooked vegan: the food is easy to digest, appetizing, healthy, does not overly suppress appetite and I can eat as much as I want, as often as I want.
After a few months of eating a low-fat raw vegan diet, my BMI has fallen from 20.7 to 19.2. I have just as much muscle strength (despite averaging 5% of my calories from protein) which means I have lost 10 lbs. of fat and water. I expect this to continue, without need for meat, supplements, stimulants such as caffeine, cooked food or irritants.
The paleo diet is successful because adherents of the diet eliminate salt, which easily results in many pounds of water loss, up to 10 or more pounds for people with lots of excess body fat. Then the high protein induces weight loss through appetite loss. Finally, the removal of dairy and grains clears up many problems because both are problematic for humans, both are agricultural foods, they are new arrivals on the human dietary scene, causing allergies, diverticulitis, leaky gut, excess mucus, etc. The success of the paleo paradigm can thus be summed up: eliminate toxic foods such as dairy, grains and salt, and calorie restrict. The veggies, fruit, nuts and wild or grass-fed meats are all window-dressing to give the diet the appearance of health in the minds of SAD eaters.
Here is a great article from Scientific America:
Turns out the real Paleo diet was 97% vegetarian and 3% insects. But I don't think the low-carb diet gurus could sell many books like that, so they have romanticized the diet into 5 o'clock shadow and macho hunters.
But if you're really looking back at our evolutionary diet as guidance, you need to be vegan with some bugs thrown in, according to the experts.

Dive into great sexThis is a good cock ring for beginners. It is very simple to use and also provides good vibrating stimulation. The only drawbacks are that it can be hard to get on your partner and the movement during sex if your partner doesn't have a very big girth.
strong vibrations, easy to use, separate controls
moves during sex, can be hard to place on the penis
This is a great sexual aid. We have tried other cock rings, without much luck, and really enjoyed this one. It gives extra stimulation to the female partner with the dolphin's nose on the clitoris. It also has a second bullet for extra vibrations to the penis and the anal area of the female.
Material / Texture
This does not have the strong plastic smell, nor does it have any taste. It is jelly and is very easy to adjust and position in the correct spot for you. The bullets remove for easier cleaning. The battery pack is separate from the dolphin so its easy to use with dual controls, one for each bullet. It will only stretch to 2 inches, so if you have a larger partner, then I recommend using lots of lube to aid in placing it on.
Shape / Design / Size / Fit
This is shaped as a dolphin as the name suggests. The nose of the dolphin has a bullet that is to be positioned on the clitoris to give vibrations and additional stimulation. It can be hard to place on the penis. I strongly recommend using a water-based lube to aid in the placement. The opening for the penis can only stretch to 2 inches, so for some men with a larger girth, I imagine this could be quite uncomfortable. The dolphin is made of jelly, so is very flexible and comfortable when in use. There is a second bullet that stimulates the underside of the penis, and I also noticed that it stimulated the anal area on me as well. The battery pack, which is separate, has individual controls for each bullet. So you can start off slow and speed up, or just shoot yourself into the stratosphere right off the bat. I found that the nose of the dolphin can be hard to position in just the right spot but was never painful to use.
Functions / Performance / Controls
It went on easily with a water-based lube. It did move and twist during intercourse and can be somewhat difficult getting the clitoris stimulation in the right spot and keeping it there. The separate battery pack and controls are very easy to use. It has separate controls for each bullet, so each partner can control what the other feels.
Care and Maintenance
This toy is made from jelly material that is very easy to clean. The two bullets are removable to further sanitize the toy. I use a spray toy cleaner and have also used mild soap and warm water on the dolphin part of the toy, and a warm cloth and toy cleaner on the bullets. I have had this toy for almost 2 years now and have used it several times with no wear or tear on the dolphin. It is kind of bulky so it doesn't store flat, and not something that is very discreet when carrying around.
The dolphin came packaged in a cardboard container. It had limited instructions, but it is pretty self explanatory and very easy to use. You could use the original box to store the toy in, but with the thin cardboard material, if you use it very often the packaging would tear pretty quickly. I bought a bag that stores all my vibrators together.
