Bullying and suicide
Some cases of suicide are attributable to the victim having been bullied, either in person or via social media.[1][2][3][4][5] The connection came to prominence during the highly publicised teenage suicides in the USA in the latter part of 2010, but had been used less widely before.[6][7][8] Writers Neil Marr and Tim Field wrote about it in their 2001 book Bullycide: Death at Playtime.[9]
The term has also gained notice by way of celebrities including Lady Gaga and Kim Kardashian speaking out against it.[10][11][12]
Legal analysts criticise the term bullycide because it links a cause with an effect under someone else's control.[13] Research shows those who are bullied have a higher probability of considering or performing suicide than those who are not.[5] However, there are victims of bullying who do not end up committing suicide, and some of them share their experiences in order to send a positive message to bullying victims that suicide is not the only option.[14][15] In 2010, there were at least 34 suicides reported that have been attributed to bullycide. That number may be very low though because some incidents may be mistakenly reported as a "regular" suicide.[16]
In response to the bullying-related deaths in 2010, particularly those related to cyber-bullying, an online event, Spirit Day, was created in which participants were asked to wear purple as a symbol of respect for the deceased victims of bullying and to signify opposition to the bullying of the LGBT community.

Evolution of Doctrine: Original Sin
In the history of Christian theology there have been a number of major theological changes made in Western Christian theology over the course of time, often due to the use of inaccurate Latin bible translations.
The earliest of these changes chronologically was the doctrine of Original Sin. The Christian church in the second century AD had nothing remotely resembling the doctrine of original sin as we know it today. The universal view attested is that children are born innocent and that people are guilty only of their own sins. In some writers the concept that Adam's sin damaged the likeness of God within humanity somewhat, and this is viewed as a kind of corruption of the natural order which is inherited - and this is generally taken to explain why humans die. But this is not taken to imply any inevitability to human sinfulness or any damage to free will. There is a dominating belief that through human effort and the assistance of the Holy Spirit and Christ's example, humans can live godly lives that are upright and pleasing to God.
In the late second century, in North Africa, the writer Tertullian protested against the introduction of the practice of infant baptism there. He argued that baptism was supposed to be for the forgiveness of sins, but since infants had no sin the introduction of its use for them was wrong. The widespread thought however seemed to be that there might be some mysterious gracious blessing from God conveyed through baptism, and thus infant baptism quickly became a fairly universal custom.
In third and fourth century North African Latin Christianity, there is a clear trend present towards taking a darker view of the human condition. In the course of these centuries the theologians in this area began to take the view that humanity had been very seriously damaged by the fall, that humanity was bad, that the human will is not capable of becoming good, and that all humans are born guilty of Adam's sin. It appears that a couple of generations after Tertullian, people had started using his same logic backwards: "We baptise infants, baptism is for forgiveness of sin, therefore infants must have sin." Such doctrinal changes were geographically fairly confined. Greek Christian writings from during and after this period reflect an unchanged stance on the subject - eg John Chrysostom (d. 407), states explicitly that infants have no sin and that forgiveness of sin is not the motive for infant baptism.
Nor, it seems, had these innovations reached too far to the west. When a monk from England named Pelagius journeyed to Rome he was shocked by the theology he encountered there. He felt that the teachings of the North African bishop Augustine effectively denied the possibility of good moral conduct and human moral reform which Pelagius (in line with typical Christianity of earlier centuries) saw as the foundations of Christianity. Augustine had gone further than his North African predecessors and actually advocated Predestination, a doctrine that had always previously been strongly opposed by Christians. This led to an extended controversy between Pelagius and Augustine. Scholars are generally agreed that Pelagius' viewpoints by and large were typical of previous Christian orthodoxy (especially the Greek-speaking church at the time, who couldn't read Augustine's writings) and Augustine's were radically new. Nonetheless Augustine managed to use his influence to get Pelagius condemned as a heretic: "it was an injustice that made history" writes the renowned Lutheran patristics scholar Jaroslav Pelikan in his The Emergence of the Catholic Tradition (pg 313).
One passage that Augustine drew heavily on in his arguments with Pelagius was Romans 5:12, which in the Latin translation (he couldn't read Greek) said that everyone had sinned "in" Adam. Augustine used this to argue that all humanity was present "in" Adam when he sinned, and thus all are born guilty of sin. His Latin translation was extremely faulty here however, and it actually reads in the Greek that everyone dies "because" they sin or that everyone dies "because of which" they sin.
Thus the doctrine of Original Sin became standard within Latin Christianity. The Greek Christians however (who were at that time a large majority of Christendom), never read Augustine's writings and continued to hold their traditional doctrines. To this day the Eastern Orthodox Christians continue to totally reject the Latin innovations of the doctrine of Original Sin. Unsurprisingly when we turn from history to the Bible, there isn't much in the bible that could lend itself in support to the Latin doctrine of Original Sin. Nor did the Jewish Rabbis teach such a doctrine, and Judaism today rejects any such doctrine.
And that's how the standard Protestant doctrine of Original Sin resulted from the introduction of infant baptism, a bad Latin translation, a conflict where influence beat orthodoxy, and a couple of centuries of doctrinal change.

£2 million secured for investment in Prestwich – thanks to Prestwich Labour
Prestwich Labour Councillors have been working hard for some time to secure major investment in Prestwich.
Residents, businesses and shoppers are now being asked for their views on a £2 million project to regenerate the main road through Prestwich village.
The aim is to give Prestwich an improved and lively high street, full of independent retailers, with a much improved environment and measures to tackle congestion.
Proposals have now been drawn up by Bury Council with the help of the Prestwich Township Forum, Prestwich Regeneration Group and the A56 Design Group. Residents have been involved in all of these forums.
A 12 week consultation period was launched at November's Township Forum, and will be running right up to Christmas.
The scheme aims to:
1.) Improve the town centre environment for all
2.) Improve pedestrian movement and accessibility
3.) Support local businesses
4.) Attract additional public and private investment
5.) Reduce the impact of traffic while maintaining traffic flow
To achieve these aims, it is not physically feasible to have two lanes of traffic running in both directions due to the width of the road. This would mean vehicle lanes and pavements would be too narrow.
The budget for this scheme is £2 million. Bury Council is providing £1.5 million and has secured a further £500,000 from Transport for Greater Manchester.
You can have your say on the Council website via www.bury.gov.uk/prestwichhighst or by dropping into one of 12 sessions arranged at Prestwich Library:
- Monday: 16 November, 23 November, 7 December – From 4pm to 7pm
- Thursday: 19 November, 3 December, 17 December – From 10am to 12 noon
- Saturday: 21 November, 28 November, 12 December – From 10am to 12 noon
- Sunday: 22 November, 6 December, 13 December – From 10am to 12 noon
St.Mary's ward councillor Jane Black, who chairs the Prestwich Township Forum, says:
"I am delighted that the fully-funded proposals for the road will now be put to public consultation. This major investment will benefit residents, businesses and commuters, and help with the ongoing regeneration of the village centre. I now want to encourage everyone to take part in the consultation, which runs right up to Christmas."

As a long time coach and even longer time athlete, I feel I have a pretty good understanding about the importance of a strong core. Literally, everything is built around your core, which includes not only your abdominals, but also the muscles of your back, and (according to some sources) your hip flexors as well. Most, if not all, athletic movements rely on core strength and flexibility, and having a strong and healthy core can pave the way for a spectacular performance.
Now think about yoga. Can you think of a single asana that doesn't involve the core in some way? Even Savasana requires small pelvic tilts and alignments before settling into a focus on the breath. If you consider the language that yoga teachers use, most instruction begins with a focus on the core, whether it's to engage the abdominals, bend from the hips, or release tension in the spine. Clearly, core matters.
Therefore, today's Simple Sequence will focus on just two asanas that I have found to be ideal for cultivating a strong core. Core work of some kind should be incorporated in most practice sessions. I say "most" because some sessions (think Yin or restorative practices) have intentions that don't require focused core work (although the core will undoubtedly be used in some manner). This short sequence can be incorporated into any sequence anytime after your body has been awakened with Sun Salutations (or any similar "warming" vinyasa).
Simple Sequence: Dolphin to Dolphin-Plank (and back again)
- Starting on all fours, place your forearms on the floor, pressing the palms together. It may look as if you're creating a triangle or pyramid with your forearms. Once your arms are established, push your hips up into the air, as if you're doing Downward Facing Dog. Push the sitting bones up, work on drawing your heels towards the floor, and press actively with your forearms. Remain in Dolphin Pose for three to five breaths.
- Keeping your arms in the same position, move into Dolphin-Plank. Lower your hips down until your torso is parallel to the floor and your body is supported only by your toes and your forearms. Lengthen towards your heels, keep your head neutral, and feel the strength of your core. Stay here for three to five breaths.
- You can repeat the sequence three to five times, lengthening the time you stay in each pose as your core strengthens. Remember, these two poses are just a taste of core-cenrtic poses, and every pose will require some sort of attention to your torso. Every action you take in life will benefit from a strong core, so don't shy away from poses that seem too focused on abdominals.

Castelli 2013/14 Men's Poggio Cycling Jacket B13505
SHAKE UP IN THE GENERAL CLASSIFICATION. The Trasparente Wind Jersey is our favorite autumn and spring piece, and we find ourselves wearing it like a jacket because its so exceptional in so many conditions. So we went ahead and made the Poggio: Trasparente fabrics in a jacket cut. The WindstopperR X Lite stretch front keeps the wind off but works with our Warmer fabric on the back to keep you drier than you thought possible in a jacket. The jacket like cut of this piece will work better for riders who arent Tour de France skinny, and it allows the possibility of adding a layer for colder weather riding. With this jacket we find that we actually stay warmer with less clothing because we stay dry better, and the stretch makes it so much more comfortable. Welcome to your new favorite jacket.

This week, a 150-year-old palm tree takes center stage in a Hollywood show, and a clinic for people who want to be sicker than they are pops up in Eagle Rock.
Clinic for the wannabe freak
The St. Bob Memorial Sick Clinic, which will pop up for one night only at Eagle Rock's Situation Room, serves those who want to be less normal or want to embrace taboos but don't really know how. "Are you ostracized … for being 'too vanilla'?" the clinicians ask in their press release. The clinic is named after writer and artist Bob Flanagan, who spent the years before his death from complications of cystic fibrosis performing acts of sadomasochism with his partner, Sheree Rose. Also, he and Rose in 1994 built an installation at Santa Monica Museum of Art in which a children's hospital coexisted with a torture chamber, and Flanagan's face appeared on a video monitor in a rose-filled casket. Rose and other collaborators or acolytes of Flanagan's will staff the clinic, and proceeds go toward publishing Flanagan's last, autobiographical work, The Book of Medicine. 2313 Norwalk Ave, Eagle Rock; Fri., Jan. 6, 9 p.m.-2 a.m.; donations on sliding scale. facebook.com/thesituationroomla.

Boosting the brand
You can touch the fur-covered surfaces of the objects in "Rick Owens: Furniture," a dimly lit exhibition at MOCA PDC. They were, after all, made for use and feel surprisingly soft. The modular chairs and stools and alabaster bench come in muted colors, as do fashion designer Owens' clothes: off-whites, browns, blacks, tans. They recall brutalist architecture, or midcentury minimalism with a touch of punk tossed in. Owens' longtime partner and wife, Michele Lamy, produced this furniture line, although only his name appears in the title. But the show is about the brand more than content or authorship. The name "Rick Owens" here stands in for status, showing how aesthetic consistency can become synonymous with success. 8687 Melrose Ave, West Hollywood; through April 2. (310) 289-5223, moca.org.
Palm tree that wouldn't stay put
Basel, Switzerland–based artist Kilian Rüthemann hand-built a red brick wall and installed it in the entryway to Mier Gallery's project space, where it extends from the floor almost to the ceiling and curves in the middle as if casually leaning back. In the room behind the wall, Rüthemann attached smaller brick rectangles, about the size of windows, to the walls. A wall-length print shows a lone, 100-foot-tall fan palm tree standing in Exposition Park. Rüthemann chose this tree because of its age — 150 years — and the fact that it has been replanted three times over its lifetime. He was interested in how seemingly stationary monuments could also be tractable, and his show does manage to feel transitory on the whole. The leaning wall, held up just by gravity, looks as though it could topple at any moment. 1107 Greenacre Ave., West Hollywood; through March 31. (323) 498 5957, miergallery.com.
Pet Peeve cemetery
This weekend, artists Molly Jo Shea and Steven Frost invite viewers to discard and bury their "major sources of discontent." This could be an "I voted" sticker, a traffic ticket, an unfortunate email, a rejection letter or an emotionally loaded object. A funeral procession will take place at the opening of the show at Basement Projects in Santa Ana, and the artists also built a Pet Peeve Cemetery, complete with an altar for grievances. 207 N. Broadway, Santa Ana; Sat., Jan. 7, 7-10 p.m., funeral procession at 9:15 p.m. basementprojects.tumblr.com.
Sun, moon and oil industry
A regal-looking man dressed in a cloak covered in suns and moons stands behind two lions with one head. Above them floats an ornate celestial calendar. The right side of this engraving, made in 1678 by Matthäus Merian the Elder for the text The Hermetic Museum, is lit only by the moon. The left is sunlit. All the trees have alchemical symbols superimposed over their leaves. The staggering detail of the engraving would compel on its own, but knowing that this image appeared in a text meant to shed light on alchemical spirituality makes it better. All the ornate intricacy had a function. Many such gems appear in the Getty's "Art of Alchemy" show, thought it's disappointing that the curating and wall labels frame alchemy as the forerunner to industry and science as we know it, as if its privileging of intuition and spirituality was simply a phase that modernity tamped out. But perhaps this shouldn't be surprising, since the show appears in a museum founded by an oil tycoon. 1200 Getty Center Drive, Brentwood; through April 2. (310) 440-7300, getty.edu.

| Akira Amatsume
天女目 瑛
|August 3 (Leo)
|First Appearance
|(Anime) Episode 1
|Portrayed By
Akira Amatsume is one of the heroines in Yosuga no Sora. Daughter of a devout family, the ever-cheerful Akira lives alone on the property of a small, yet sacred, Shinto shrine. Akira's energetic liveliness is contagious to those around her, with an innocent personality that makes befriending the girl a second-nature.
Having an innocent personality, Akira is much like an angel. She is the most lively of the heroines. Under her cheerful outer self lies a mature and depressed Akira that she hides from others in order to prevent them (especially Kazuha) from knowing the real her, which she only shows to Haruka in her route, so as not to worry them.
153cm tall. Akira has short brown hair and dark brown eyes. She has a childlike appearance, like Sora, but with more liveliness and innocence. She is often seen with two hairpins on the front side of her hair. She is one of the smallest heroines, being surpassed only by Sora. She is considered beautiful and very cute.
Because she lives at the local shrine, Akira spends much of her time practicing the habits and traditions of a miko (shrine maiden), including performance of requisite ceremonies and holiday festivals.
It is heavily implied that she and Kazuha share the same father. Kazuha's mother does not like Akira because of this, as she is a reminder of her husband's infidelity and she convinces her husband to disown Akira. Because of this antipathy, Akira is very submissive in her presence. Although Akira is not officially acknowledged, Kazuha's father keeps a distant eye on her, privately expressing pride in her at the shrine festival. Furthermore, Yahiro Ifukube, who helps look after Akira, admits to Haruka that her store is barely able to support herself let alone Akira, implying that Kazuha's father is also supporting Akira financially through Yahiro.
At the conclusion of Akira's arc, she is told that Kazuha's mother and her mother shared a hospital room when the girls were born, that her mother died shortly thereafter, and that Kazuha's mother saw Akira when she was a baby and took a liking to her. Furthermore, it is revealed that the pendant she thought was her mother's actually belonged to Kazuha's mother who was holding her after her mother died. The infant Akira pulled the pendant from around Kazuha's mother's neck and she was allowed to keep it so that Akira would have at least one memento from her deceased mother.
- Mr. Migiwa (possible father)
- Ms. Amatsume (mother, deceased)
- Kazuha Migiwa (half-sister)
- Mrs. Migiwa (step-mother)
- Yahiro Ifukube (guardian)
- Nao Yorihime
- Sora Kasugano
- Ryouhei Nakazato (Childhood friend)
- Kazuha Migiwa (Childhood and best friend)
- Haruka Kasugano (Childhood friend)
- Kozue Kuranaga
- She's the only lively character of the games/series.
- She's the only miko character in the games/series.
- She's the only character that often plays with kids and help the people of the village.
- She's the only character to share a bath with their love interest. (Anime)
- She's the only character that has a cat.
- She's the only girl character to kiss a girl.

Tarragon and lavender are added to the brite tanks, where the finished beer is allowed to condition on the herbs for about a week, pulling out the unique flavors of each. This beer transcends – starting with a strong tarragon flavor up front, followed by a lavender finish. Enjoy the ride!

Ex-Saint Hargrove Denies Hit on Favre was for Bounty
Former New Orleans Saints defensive lineman Anthony Hargrove is denying reports his hit on Brett Favre during the 2009 NFC Championship Game against the Minnesota Vikings was part of a bounty orchestrated by former Saints defensive coordinator Gregg Williams.
Hargrove was penalized and fined for the hit. And, it has been alleged (by Sports Illustrated) that Hargrove celebrated Favre's injury.
While Hargove has admitted mistakes with the hit and subsequent comment, he has categorically denied it was part of a bounty.
Hargrove played last season with Seattle.

Year 3 pentatonic compositions
Year 3 have created some sensational work this half term. We have been studying pentatonic scales. We used the book "The Magic Paintbrush" by Julia Donaldson,( author of the Gruffalo) as our inspiration for our compositions. It is a beautiful book with the most exquisite illustrations by Joel Stewart and published by McMillian books. The company have very kindly allowed me to reproduce the images we used as inspiration for our work.
Please have a listen and let us know what you think of our work! Michael Rosen the author has had a listen to all of the clips and sent me a message saying how fabulous the work is and praising the children for their creativity! He said on twitter that this is "wonderful stuff" and what is more he sent a message to all of his followers telling them to have a listen to our work!
"Galloping Horses" written and performed by Bobby, Milan, Juzmin & Sergio
"Jolly Melody" composed and performed by Courtney, Selin, Sosan, Alysha & Robina
"Heartbreak" -
"Angry Emperor" composed and performed by Isaac, Ilja & Hussain.
"Magic Paintbrush" composed and performed by Danielle, Dhivyah, Justin, Shyloe & Suveyda. This group worked exceptionally well together. Each person made an important contribution.
"Joy" composed and performed by Muneeb, Daniel & Sienna
This is just a selection of all the work we produced but I hope it has given you a flavour of the fantastic work these talented children are creating. Next week we are going to be evaluating our work and I hope to post up some of the children's evaluations. In the meantime if you could leave us a comment in the box below that would be fantastic!

Hi Year 3
I live a long way from Merton, on an island in the far north of Scotland, but I noticed your compositions when Mrs Schneider tweeted about them. I am glad I listened - they are very good. Would you mind if I used some of them as phone ring tones? If any of them played when someone was phoning me, they would put me a good mood for any conversation!
Where I live we have a music festival every summer, the St Magnus Festival, which has a course for composers as part of it. http://stmagnusfestival.com/composers/index.html is a link to it. Maybe one day some of you will take part in a course like that!
Keep making your music!!

Jane is just one of many people who died directly from Epilepsy in SUDEP circumstances. On the left of this blog you will see a list of other people who have died in almost the same way. These links are ones of people who I have found by trawling the web.
If you wish to add the name of a loved one to this list because they also died in SUDEP circumstances then please email us at email@example.com, or alternatively if you are closely related to one of these people and want their name removed etc etc.
By the way, my criteria for adding a name to this list is that there must be at least one public web page clearly indicating that the death was SUDEP. The list is covers all countries, though probably there are more reported in the UK than in other countries. This is mostly because the UK has made several advances to help encourage coroners to define deaths as SUDEP related, where appropriate. In other countries the picture is mixed, with a lot of possible SUDEP deaths being put down to other causes, including simply natural causes.

The 40th Anniversary of Alack Sinner
Comics scholarship is sorely missing positive data about lots of things... For instance, where and when do you think that "Alack Sinner," by José Muñoz and Carlos Sampayo, was published for the first time? I asked the question myself and I found the answer, but I would love to see a complete bibliography of the series complex publishing history.
José Muñoz (a), Carlos Sampayo (w), "Il caso Webster" [the Webster case], Alterlinus year 2, # 1, January 1975. Yup! The very first Alack Sinner page was published in Italy exactly forty years ago. The above page was signed by Carlos Sampayo for yours truly. 1974 is the year in which Carlos wrote the script (...and José drew the story, of course).
José Muñoz (a), Carlos Sampayo (w), Perché lo fai, Alack Sinner? [why do you do it, Alack Sinner?], Milano Libri, 1976. The first book, also signed by Carlos Sampayo (below: "1 er libro" [first book]). The authors are (left: José Muñoz; right: Carlos Sampayo) behind their character.

Garden Marketplaces bring Spring-Inspired Food to Epcot Flower and Garden Festival
There's a Smokehouse with barbecue meats at the American Adventure, a Bauernmarket with meatloaf sandwiches and beer at the Germany Pavilion, and Primavera Kitchen with lasagna in Italy. There are twelve food locations in total.
Near Port of Entry is one of my favorites: the Pineapple Promenade which features Pineapple Dole® Whip Soft Serve, which can normally only be found at Magic Kingdom and the Polynesian Resort. They sell a cup with regular ice cream, and one which also has Siesta Key Spiced Rum.
Dole® Whip and Pineapple Upside Down Cake:
A Florida food booth was new at last year's Food and Wine Festival, and there is one at the Flower and Garden Festival as well, themed with a cute shining sun. Here they sell watermelon salad, shrimp and stone ground grits, and angel food cake.
At Lotus House in China I tried the Pan-fried Vegetable Bun, which was pretty good:

Catnip: Brother's Best Friend, Secret Lovers, Your First and Your Last, Novella, Dual Narrative, Dirty Talk, Virgin, Teach Me Tonight
Shame Scale: Low shame, the guy on the cover is fully dressed!
Fantasy Cast: Penn Badgley, Leighton Meester
Book Description:
Over my dead body.
That's what I told Gracie when she informed me of her plan to pick some random guy she met online to get rid of her pesky virginity.
If anyone is touching her, it's going to be me.
I shouldn't even be considering it, but I can't get it out of my head: her, under me, begging me.
Arrogant. Cocky. Prick.
Those are the words I'd use to describe my older brother's dangerously handsome best friend.
When he learned of my plan to kick off my white cotton briefs, ditching my good girl persona once and for all by losing my virginity to the first eligible bachelor I could find, he flipped out. Said over his dead body.
He says if anyone's going to do it, it's going to be him.
I hate that I'm even considering his offer.
But I am … I sooo am.
Ever since he suggested it, all I can think about is his cocky smile on those full lips as he's driving in to me.
But if we cross that line … will I ever be able to go back?
MONSTER PRICK, a sexy romantic comedy, is a spin off novella from SCREWED, but can be read as a standalone, as it features a new couple.
We read Kendall Ryan's last release Screwed, which introduced the main characters in Monster Prick, Grace and Hudson. And there was no way I wasn't reading a book entitled Monster Prick, well played Ms. Ryan, well played. This is a novella length story, which can easily be read in one sitting. It's a fluffy palate cleanser with some good sex scenes sprinkled throughout.

As a television pilot, "Dear Diary" never made it to prime time. As a film, however, it is up for an Academy Award.
The irony is not lost on writer-director David Frankel, who saw his 22-minute urban comedy turned down by ABC only to then see it nominated for best live-action short film by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.
"We're probably the first TV pilot ever to get nominated [for an Oscar], and I wouldn't be surprised that we're the last," Frankel said.
"Dear Diary" revolves around a New York magazine art director (Bebe Neuwirth), married and the mother of two, who, having just turned 40, decides to record the events of her day in a journal. The scenes come at a frenetic pace, with images flashing to life on the screen as Neuwirth narrates her diary entries.

The wind report wasn't showing great, but I decided to give it a go anyway. Arriving at the beach I saw another kite in the air, always a good sign. While I got set up it was clear the other guy was a learner, and struggling a bit in the onshore wind.
It proved to be a bit of a waste of time, the wind was very light, but I persevered knowing that the experience would do me good, and also that it was pretty safe with an empty beach and onshore wind. Short session, glad I went, but definitely not a great finish to the holiday kiting.

Uncharted 4's Second BTS Video Talks About Growing Up with Drake
Take a sneak peek!
Uncharted 4: A Thief's End is on the horizon, and fans can't wait to jump into the boots of Nathan Drake and embark on one final adventure. To help tide us over until the game's release, Naughty Dog has begun releasing a series of five videos which gives fans a behind the scenes look at how the game is coming along and what sort of work goes into such a project.
The first episode was released last week and was called "The Evolution of Uncharted." The second episode, "Growing Up with Drake", has just been released.
As the blurb states, this video allows you to "go behind-the-scenes as the team reflects on what it's been like growing in age in parallel with the characters and how that's shaped the mindset and key themes of Uncharted 4."
Three more episodes are set to be released, and will be:
- The Making of Uncharted 4: A Thief's End: Pushing Technical Boundaries Part 1
- The Making of Uncharted 4: A Thief's End: Pushing Technical Boundaries Part 2
- The Making of Uncharted 4: A Thief's End: In the End
Hopefully these vids will help the wait be a little more bearable. Uncharted 4: A Thief's End is due to be released on May 10, exclusively on the PlayStation 4.

A person can never have enough books. So it doesn't matter how many books I have on my shelves, I always want more. In this segment of my blog you can read what books are on my wishlist.
Honestly, I don't read a lot of contemporary YA's, but this one immediately caught my attention. The synopsis sounds great and I'm pretty sure this book is really good. (If not, I'm gonna be really sad)
Paranormal/Fantasy: Gameboard of the Gods (Age of X #1) by Richelle Mead
Whenever Richelle releases a new book, I don't even have to know what's it about. Everything she writes is awesome and so this book will be in my possession very soon!
New Adult: Fallen Too Far (Too Far #1) by Abbi Glines
I just came across this book on Goodreads and it looks very intriguing. I'm a sucker for forbidden love and all that stuff. Can't wait to read this one.
Goodreads recommended this book to me because I read almost all of Susan E. Phillips' books, and since I'm a huge SEP fan, this book has to be good too. I love sports romances!

I have been under the weather so I have not done much of anything but sleep. As I was looking thought my pictures I realized that I had not blogged this. I think I had planned on saving it because I am working on a new free workshop for little theaters and some of the pictures taken during the construction of this one will be use. But I decided to share it because I have also finished another little theater I can share when I get the workshop finished.
This on was also done from a reclaimed drawer out of an old jewelry box. I used my dremel to expand the hole into a slot where the nob was. That way the little puppet can be lowered through the slot and the little handle can be used to make her dance.
Step by step instruction will be posted as soon as I can get up and around enough to finish writing them :)

Time seems to be flying by faster and faster these days.
I wish it wouldn't. I wish it would slow down.
I have a confession to make about where I have been hiding.
Some of you who have been following me for a while know that I battled breast cancer back in 2013. And as of January 2014 I had completed chemotherapy and was holding my own trying to get my life back on track. But it wasn't meant to be.
Since last July I have been put through a bunch of tests and just before Christmas my husband and I got the news. The cancer is back. =(
I have started up my cancer blog again and if you would like to follow along I will be updating it regularly. You can find the link here at Wendy's Breast Cancer Page on my husbands website. I will also post here on Savage Threads so you will know when there is an update.
I haven't been stitching very much lately. But since I will be starting up chemo again in a week or so I'm sure I will be stitching more. I did complete one ornament for my oldest son but forgot to take pictures of it. It was a freebie from Stitchers Anon entitled Bah Humbug. It was fun to stitch up and my son really seemed to like it. He's always been our Bah Humbug child. I never knew another kid that would rather have slept in on Christmas morning instead of getting up early to open presents.
The next thing I will be working on is an ornament for my son's girlfriend. It's Merry Christmas Grumpy Kitty from Brookes Books. I will have to remember to take pictures of this one before I send it off to its new home.
Happy Stitching friends!

As bushfires burn large parts of South-Eastern Australia, our team stands ready
Devastating bushfires are burning across large parts of South-Eastern Australia, with homes destroyed in Tasmania, Victoria and New South Wales.
The International Fund for Animal Welfare office in Australia is monitoring the situation and is in contact with local wildlife groups and emergency services in affected areas. IFAW has experienced vets on standby to help assist animals where needed.
Many fires are still burning out of control and the fire service isn't yet allowing access to affected areas.
These fires threaten people, their homes, businesses and also livestock, pets and wildlife. Wild animals are often the unseen and unaccountable victims of these disasters.
It's not just injuries that make wildlife vulnerable during a bushfire, but also the after effects - reduced food and shelter are life threatening.
If you find an injured animal, it should be treated by a local carer or vet immediately so please contact a professional for advice.
Don't try to treat on your own – you may kill it with kindness.
Our efforts to support wildlife vets in Australia only happen with your support, consider a donation now.

This month's security bulletin becomes a lot more confusing. It was pretty confusing already, but the extra detail of .NET Framework 3.0 is/is not vulnerable just adds an extra layer.
(Suggestion: update and let your customers know. Since .NET Framework patches are cumulative I expect Barry's validators are also included.)

NEW YORK (Reuters) - The dollar rose to its highest this year against the yen on Tuesday on strong U.S. manufacturing and construction data, while the euro slipped to a 12-month low on speculation the European Central Bank will move toward looser monetary policy.
U.S. oil prices fell more than $3 a barrel, leading shares in the energy sector to account for almost half the decline in the S&P 500. Volume was light and the S&P closed slightly lower.
U.S. manufacturing hit a nearly 3-1/2 year peak in August and construction spending rebounded strongly in July, the latest signs of U.S. economic vigor.
The data lifted the dollar almost 0.8 percent against the Japanese yen, pushing it above the 105 yen mark for the first time since the first week of this year. The dollar last traded at 105.10 yen, up 0.72 percent on the day.
U.S. Treasuries US10YT=RR fell further on the data, with the 10-year note US10YT=RR off 21/32 in price to yield 2.4211 percent.
The euro EUR= sagged in early trade on bets ECB President Mario Draghi will do more to help a wobbly euro zone economy. But the currency later recouped its losses, up 0.01 percent at $1.3128.
Investors are waiting to see what Draghi does when ECB policymakers meet on Thursday, said Ken Polcari, director of the NYSE floor division at O'Neil Securities in New York.
"If (the market) becomes disappointed on Thursday because Draghi does not announce something more accommodative or stimulative, then you'll see European markets under pressure and flow over into the U.S. markets, at least temporarily," he said.
Few investors expect immediate, major steps but most see looser ECB policy in the future as the euro zone fails to grow due to austerity measures and conflict in Ukraine.
MSCI's all-country world index .MIWD00000PUS of 45 countries fell 0.1 percent while the pan-European FTSEurofirst 300 index .FTEU3, which has risen nearly 7 percent from its mid-August low, closed down 0.07 percent at 1,375.93.
Wall Street closed mixed after a choppy trading session in which the economic data failed to drive prices much.
"The market is probably pricing in stronger numbers on the economic side but it's still very much positive," said James Liu, global market strategist at JPMorgan Funds, in Chicago.
"We are expecting to see stronger economic numbers, the market is certainly expecting that, and as long we get them we can do quite well above 2,000 on the S&P 500," Liu said.
The Dow Jones industrial average .DJI closed down 30.89 points, or 0.18 percent, at 17,067.56 and the S&P 500 .SPX fell 1.09 points, or 0.05 percent, to 2,002.28. But the Nasdaq Composite .IXIC rose 17.92 points, or 0.39 percent, to 4,598.19.
Brent crude fell almost to $100 a barrel, pressured by worries about slowing oil demand growth in China and Europe, a strong U.S. dollar and ample supplies.
Brent crude for October delivery LCOc1 settled down $2.45 at $100.34 a barrel. U.S. crude CLc1 fell $3.08 from Friday's close to settle at $92.88 a barrel. There was no trading in the United States on Monday because of the Labor Day holiday.

Download Nina Kraviz's All-Vinyl Dance Mania Mix
With Strut's new double-disc retrospective of pioneering Chicago label Dance Mania out this week, Nina Kraviz has shared a fresh mix made completely of the ghetto-house institution's vinyl from her own collection. "I fell in love with Dance Mania on the first listen, more then 10 years ago at the record store," Kraviz explained in an email accompanying the 50-plus-minute set. "The rawness and simplicity of the beats, combined with the badass realness of the human voices recorded on the first take, linked with my personality from the first second, and later influenced me a lot as a DJ and a producer."
Karviz's affection for the label can be heard across the entire mix, which is said to have been recorded live and finds the veteran selector covering some of the label's best known sounds, including acid-fueled cuts from Parris Mitchell, DJ Funk, and Vincent Floyd, among others. Kraviz's appropriately titled Dance Mania Only Vinyl Live Mix can be streamed and download in full below, though no official tracklist has been made available.

Clyda keep heads to hold off Blues
2013-08-19 13:01:00
By Denis Hurley
Clyda Rovers 0-08 Bantry Blues 0-07
Clyda Rovers reached the quarter-finals of the Premier IFC by beating Bantry Blues at Kilmichael last night, but they had to endure a few nervous moments before the final whistle.
For the fifth successive year, the Mourneabbey side are in the last eight and they deservedly advance after playing the better football, but they could easily have let it slip.
Playing with a strong first-half wind, Clyda had the majority of the possession, but still only went in level at 0-3 each at half-time after kicking some very bad wides.
While a rejigging of personnel for the second period gave greater purpose to their play, they never fully shook off Bantry and the West Cork side quarried two late points to bring them to within one.
Ultimately, Clyda held on to possession, as they did for long stretches of the game, to claim victory and a meeting with Glenville in the quarter-finals.
Imposing themselves physically from the off, Clyda built up a lead as Pádraig O'Mullane, Fionn O'Shea and Cian O'Sullivan all scored, and the Bantry backs looked vulnerable as James Murphy and Conor O'Sullivan also looked like creating openings.
Much of the approach work was going to waste, however, and Declan Barron got Bantry off the mark with a free before setting up Michael O'Sullivan for another in the 27th minute.
When a Barron ball from deep allowed O'Sullivan to tie matters in injury-time, Clyda must have been wondering if it was going to be one of those nights, but the relocation of Paudie Kissane to centre-forward for the second half allowed him to run more directly at the Bantry defence - and Murphy and Cian O'Sullivan gave them a cushion once more.
One of the few goal chances fell to Bantry wing-back Seán O'Leary from a neat Niel Canty pass, but he shot over in the 43rd minute. Gavin O'Shea levelled again on three-quarters, but they could not kick on, with Ruairà Deane unable to generate his usual surging runs and Graham Canty not as dominant in the air as in the first half.
Instead, Clyda pushed clear once more, Conor Flanagan benefiting from a move to full-forward as he twice pointed after fielding deliveries, and then sub Chris Buckley left three in it as the 60-minute mark approached.
Deane's close-in free, coupled with a good Barron point following sub David Power's hard work, did give Bantry the scent of a draw, but no equalising chance could be engineered.
To their credit, Clyda kept their composure to work the ball out and ensure they did not squander victory.
Scorers for Clyda Rovers: C Flanagan, Cian O'Sullivan 0-2 each, C Buckley, J Murphy (1f), F O'Shea, P O'Mullane 0-1 each.
Scorers for Bantry Blues: M O'Sullivan, D Barron (1f) 0-2 each, R Deane (1f), G O'Shea, S O'Leary 0-1 each.
CLYDA ROVERS: C Conway; N O'Mullane, R Carey, C Kenny; K Fitzgerald, F O'Shea, O O'Hanlon; J O'Hanlon, P Kissane; Conor O'Sullivan, C Flanagan, G Carey; Cian O'Sullivan, P O'Mullane, J Murphy.
Subs: C Buckley for P O'Mullane (34), M O'Brien for J O'Hanlon (46).
BANTRY BLUES: D Murray; J O'Leary, K Harrington, K Deane; S O'Leary, D O'Sullivan, N Canty; G Canty, P Daly; G O'Shea, T Downey, R Deane; M O'Sullivan, D Barron, D Casey.
Subs: D Power for Casey (47), J Harrington for O'Leary, C O'Leary for Downey (both 54), K Casey for Daly (60).
Referee: J Ryan (Macroom).

Deutsche Bank has resigned its seat on the London gold and silver fix without finding a buyer, according to news reports Tuesday.
A Reuters article, citing a source close to the matter, said the bank gave two week's notice and it will stop being a part of the price-setting process as of May 13.
Deutsche Bank's decision comes on the heels of a Bloomberg article published earlier this year that said the London gold fix, a benchmark used by the gold market to value the metal, may have been manipulated for a decade by the banks setting it. Deutsche Bank's seat resignation will leave four banks left to oversee the gold fix.
"I'm not surprised Deutsche Bank is running for the exits," said Brien Lundin, editor of the Gold Newsletter. He believes the decision to leave is related to allegations of manipulation.
The Deutsche Bank news also follows its announcement in December 2013 that it would exit almost all commodity businesses around the world.

Mondo's Justin Ishmael and Artist Olly Moss Talk the Timed 'Dark Knight Rises' Poster Sale
If you've ever tried to buy a Mondo print, you know have difficult it can be. Sometimes just getting the poster in your shopping cart feels like a victory. But all that's about to change.
Today, on their official blog, Mondo posted the details on tomorrow's 24-hour sale of the Olly Moss 'Dark Knight Rises' poster (seen above). It's the first time a Mondo poster will be available to anyone who wants to buy it. At Comic-Con 2012, we sat down with Mondo's Creative Director Justin Ishmael and Olly Moss himself about the upcoming sale, how it'll work and whether there are any plans to use this strategy for future releases.
(And stay tuned this week for lots more from Justin and Olly on their upcoming prints and more...)
So can you explain the details of the 24-hour timed sale?
Justin: It's the first time we've ever done this. It's gonna run on Wednesday night and it starts at 12:01am CST and ends right before 'The Dark Knight Rises' would come out. We just thought it would be a fun thing for fans. Any time zone, no matter where you are in the world, anywhere in the country, it will be available to you.
Olly: We catch a lot of grief from the Australians.
JI: When we release stuff in London, it would be an awkward time for [Olly] even. It happened after 'The Avengers' too and people were like, "F---, we missed it." So this is for the fans. If you really appreciate the artwork - people complain about after-market prices and all that - this is your chance to get it if they like it.
Olly: The after-market value will be a complete non-issue.
Justin: Everyone's like, "I just want the art!" Well, if you just want the art, here's your chance to do it.
Olly: I've done a couple of sales like this of my own work and people seem really happy with the way it works.
Justin: The edition is going to be based on however many people buy it. So if 1,000 people buy it, it will be an edition of 1,000.
Olly: So it's like a pre-order and we print only enough to handle the supply the demand.
Justin: A lot of times, I've heard from websites that cover us, "Hey I read about that thing and I clicked on it and it's sold out already." How many people are clicking on this blogs looking to buy that poster and now, they'll actually be able to buy it. Even here it's really hard to get stuff.
Why did you decide to start with this particular poster?
Justin: 'The Dark Knight Rises' warrants it. It's the end of something that a lot of people are really huge fans of. So we thought this would be something that a lot of people want.
Olly: And I'm really happy with this print and the way it came out. I think it's my favorite.
Justin: It's definitely something we're doing for the fans. It's not a cash grab. We're not getting rich of this. I really want to emphasize the 24-hours and the time zone thing. No matter where you are in the world, you'll be awake when this is available and this will be available to you.
Will you look at this and examine the success of this and utilize it for future sales?
Justin: There are really no plans to do it again. It's just gonna be a case-by-case basis. I want to tread lightly on this because there are a lot of fans who are into us because it's a limited-edition print.
Olly: There is a limited edition version of this as well. There's a variant, which has a run of 120. And instead of just a color change, this is a bigger piece and a better one. Well, I don't want to say the better one but it's more detailed.
Justin: It's a true variant. There's so much you can say about why things need to stay limited. It's production issues…a screen printer is not set up to print 10,000 copies of a poster. When we're doing stuff with Tyler for 1,000, that's a lot to do. But if you think of a typical band is doing 50 or something. The quality is gonna stay the same. Just for this one, everyone can have one and we're gonna keep doing our regular thing. It's not different than us doing a Mystery Movie. It's a little bit different. This is an event. If you want it, you can buy it.

When the Game Boy Advance system launched back in June of 2001, one of the showpieces for the hardware was Ubisoft's Rayman Advance a pretty spot-on accurate and fun conversion of the classic (and downright gorgeous) PlayStation/Saturn/Jaguar platformer released a few years prior. The original game's strengths were in its graphics, pushing a solid sprite engine with some of the most gorgeous scrolling backgrounds ever seen. This attention to graphic detail was what really got the unique character noticed in the videogame world, and the Game Boy Advance version pulled off most of what was done on the console to show just what the GBA was capable of.
In 2003, Ubisoft upped the presentation of Rayman Advance with a really outstanding side-scrolling sequel based upon the console Rayman 3 released at the same time. This follow-up, produced by Ubisoft's Montreal team, stuck with the tried-and-true Rayman formula with a fantastic side-scrolling design that successfully updated the platform mechanics. This year, Ubisoft's giving its hero another send-off on the Game Boy Advance to coincide with his debut on the Nintendo DS handheld. Though DS gamers will be getting the first 3D Rayman on a handheld, GBA owners will be getting a drastic change in Rayman presentation as well.
Rayman: Hoodlum's Revenge is the direct sequel to Rayman 3 and an original adventure for GBA gamers. For this sequel, players no longer control Rayman in a side-scrolling environment. Instead, the game has gone pseudo-3D with an isometric camera position in order to give players 360 degree platforming action. It's as close as you're going to get to 3D platforming on the handheld without pushing a whole lot of processor-intensive polygons on the screen.
People might recognize the presentation of this new Rayman game. That's because Rayman: Hoodlum's Revenge has been developed by Digital Eclipse, the development studio who first brought Ubisoft's hero to life on the GBA. For the team's second Rayman game (and it's first original Rayman platformer), Digital Eclipse has employed the same isometric engine as the one it created for its Spyro the Dragon series. In fact, throughout the first part of the game is a whole lot of deja vu, since both Rayman and Spyro the Dragon share a lot of similarities in both graphic style and gameplay mechanics.
Just like Spyro on the GBA,Rayman: Hoodlum's Revenge is just as solid a presentation. The first portion of the game is a tutorial level that teaches players the little gameplay and control nuances, including our hero's attack abilities, his hover jump, and his climbing capabilities. It also introduces some adventuring elements into the mix, where players will have to track down switches in order to progress to the next part of the level. The game rewards players for reaching a set high score by collecting gems scattered across the terrain, as well as scoring Lum icons and rescuing trapped buddies, adding to the replay value of each of the dozens of levels in the adventure. Though we didn't get that far in our hands-on test of the game, we're told that this GBA sequel will also feature, for the first time, controllable Globox. That big, adorable lug.
Ubisoft will be shipping Rayman: Hoodlum's Revenge by the end of March. Check out the new screens and video of the adventure in action by clicking on the media link below.

The Tax Management Transfer Pricing Report ™ provides news and analysis on U.S. and international governments' tax policies regarding intercompany transfer pricing.
May 18 — Russia agreed to automatically share financial account information but passed up an opportunity the same day on a similar agreement to exchange company country-by-country reports.
Russia signed the OECD's common reporting standard (CRS) multilateral competent authority agreement May 12 at a meeting of tax administration heads in Beijing, but likely held off on the second pact until its own country-by-country legislation is approved, Vladimir Starkov, vice president at Chicago-based NERA Economic Consulting, told Bloomberg BNA in an e-mail May 12.
Russia is in the early stages of developing domestic country-by-country reporting legislation, publishing a draft online April, and asking for comments on it by June 22. If passed by the legislature, it would require country-by-country reporting by multinational companies whose consolidated revenue in the financial year before the reporting year was at least $768 million.
If adopted, the bill would come into effect on Jan. 1, 2017, with a transitional period between 2017 and 2019.
Russia would still be able to exchange country-by-country reporting through its bilateral agreements even if it chooses not to join the multilateral agreement, Pascal Saint-Amans, director of the OECD's Center for Tax Policy and Administration, told Bloomberg BNA May 18. He said further signing ceremonies will be coming Russia's way as countries adopt recommendations to impose reporting on large companies under Action 13 of the project to combat tax erosion and profit shifting.
So far, 39 countries have signed the agreement, with six—Canada, Iceland, India, Israel, New Zealand and China—signing May 12 in Beijing.
At the Beijing meeting, Russia became the 81st jurisdiction to join the CRS agreement, under which Russian tax authorities automatically will receive information about foreign accounts of Russian tax residents from foreign tax authorities.
Starkov said the agreement allows Russia to better enforce its law that obligates Russian taxpayers to disclose holdings of assets in foreign jurisdictions.
Viktor Machekhin, head of tax practice at Linklaters CIS in Moscow, agreed, saying joining the CRS allows Russia's tax authorities to receive information that other nations would possess. "Some of the companies that have a presence abroad will still have to disclose their information if they are active in the countries where such disclosure is provided," Machekhin told Bloomberg BNA May 17. "Therefore, there are certain benefits in having one's own national rules" that require companies to disclose tax and financial accounts information.
For Russia, the first exchanges of financial information are expected to take place in 2018 for information covering 2017, and are to be conducted electronically via the OECD platform. The data will detail the types of investment income, including dividends, interest, income from some insurance products, proceeds from the sale of financial assets, the account balance and payments made via the account. Russia will send similar information about foreign tax residents to relevant countries.

Between April, 1975 and January, 1979, Pol Pot and the Khmer Rouge were responsible for the deaths of 1.7 million people in Cambodia. A quarter of the population were wiped out in one of the most brutal and virulent genocides of the twentieth century.
When Phnom Penh fell in 1975 - two weeks before Saigon - the city was evacuated. Money was abolished and three million people were sent to the countryside to work as slave labour on collective farms. Pol Pot promised an agrarian utopia to reclaim the glory of Angkor but delivered a regime of mass-extermination, starvation and slaughter.
This new film explores the life of Pol Pot, the ever-smiling, obsessively secretive leader of the Khmer Rouge. What drove him to inflict such a radical experiment on his own people? How did the Khmer Rouge turn from a band of nationalist revolutionaries into a ruthless killing machine? And why did the West stand by and let it happen?
As an international tribunal in Cambodia finally brings the surviving leaders of the Khmer Rouge to justice, it's time to re-examine the gruesome legacy of Pol Pot.
