I had done with my Luca's sonic pop blast mania, completed Luca's treehouse since about one week ago! That little fella has gone out of his place that is. Totes! Now he is, I decided to continue my adventure with Stella, pop the top mania completing every top the pop levels in sequence. I had improved my scores! What a tremendous effort! Endless of hours improving my score at the same time getting an extra star awarded while resting for a full tank of lives when hearts are finished.
Anyways,I give up that rountine and I decided to star out all 3 including forest haven, beach party, waterfall, caves, mountain, lagoon, so on so forth. Some requires you to have free boosts. I have to complete the carat gold before the 3 star in one area challenge slips. Like 90 Carat Gold!
Level 65- almost to 3 stars! Should I just give it up and soar away with 2 stars instead? I can do better! Replay once or even nore and you will deserve it better. Just like the original Angry Birds!
Smoke cloud? That is a big issue because it makes you guess the bubble colour! If you look at after the first Gale level, you will play that first level with first scattered with rows of smoke cloud, hit in between the middle with the respective colour and the above it the smoke cloud will vanish. The clue for the smoke cloud colour is sometimes next to the surrounding bubbles, so hit it with the correct colours more likely chance it will pop! Don't worry if I does not, all you have note most important thing - don't make it worse! Why? You will have a chain of bubbles preventing you from advancing towards the top and waste a few bubbles anyway! You might hit it 2x but risk losing bees buzzing around for points.
That is all I can say, Tomorrow, will Matilda or Sliver be in the next lineup for two weeks? It will be a brand new 25 levels, possible. I love this idea! Might not too but it will be named as the new Chinese New Year update maybe!
Red has been the guest star since limited time bird was introduced. Followed by the Blues. Third, Chuck. Fourth, Shakira because of the Love Rocks game. Fifth, red again, for halloween. Sixth, Dahlia, switched to her new Science Pop and she was removed. Seventh, Bomb, for Thanksgiving day. Eighth, Luca because we wondered about him and where has he been hiding. Since Stella gang has finished on the so called time limited feature back to the original flock feature, more likely will be Matilda! Or Sliver!
We will see how it goes!

Hey, did you hear that Neill Blomkamp is directing a new Alien film? I know it's pretty cool. The director behind District 9 and Chappie released some unofficial artwork a month or two back and last week dropped the bombshell that an Alien sequel would be his next project.
Unfortunately, like any half decent movie news, the big reveal raises ten questions for every one it answers. What's the plot? Where will it take place? What kind of xenomorphs will then be? Will it follow the original canon? And six other questions I guess. The good news is that Blomkamp is more than happy to oblige and has revealed more about the project, including ties to franchise star Sigourney Weaver's character Ripley. Screenrant reports that in an interview with Sky News, Blomkamp explained that his new film would go small bang in the middle of the original quadrilogy! Here's exactly what the mad genius had to say for himself:
"I want this film to feel like it's literally the genetic sibling of 'Aliens.' So it's 'Alien,' 'Aliens,' and then this movie."
So it looks like Blomkamp is disregarding Alien 3 and Alien: Resurrection in order to carry on the story left of by the second film. While this might leave some diehard fans who wanted a followup to Resurrection a little peeved, the choice makes a lot of sense. The elements of horror and sci-fi that made the first two Alien films great got a little diluted in the last two films, in an attempt to bust alien out of its tight dark corridors and ventilation shafts. But it looks as though that's exactly what Blomkamp is looking for this time around:
"It's a Freudian nightmare. That element to me is what is so appealing. To try to put the audience on the edge of their seat, in a traditional monster stalking you in a dark corridor way."
It sounds as though Blomkamp knows exactly what he wants this film to be already, and if it can draw on the atmosphere of Alien and Aliens, then he'll already he off to a flying start.
Blomkamp also explains that his decision for his film's story and location in the canon has stemmed in no small part from conversations with Weaver, who has stated that she felt there was a part of Ripley's story left untold. This ties in with the artwork Blomkamp released that was very Ripley-centric. Does this mean Weaver will be returning for Blomkamp's chapter, or will she pass on the mantle to another actor? It's hard to tell right now, but hopefully she'll be bringing as much experience and insight to the table as possible.
What do you think is next for Ripley?

ok. i have seen lots of threads sayin they use rice krispie treats for models. i know i am probably being dense but how do you get a box of rice krispies into a baby or puppy or anything. is there some special glue or mix that makes them stick together and dry hard enough to sculpt
Rice Krispie treats are made by mixing the Rice Krispies with melted marshmallows, if you can get them already made like we can here in the USA, it saves a lot of bother. To get a really good modeling RKT add melted chocolate & smoosh it all together, when this dries it is much firmer than just the RKT. This was a wonderful tip given on CC & I just can not remember who told us about it. Hope this helps you.
I noticed you are in the UK. I do believe Rice Krispies in the US is called something else in the UK. I don't remember what it is, but it's cereal. You melt butter in a saucepan and add marshmallows. Once they are fully melted, add your rice krispies. I find it a lot easier to crush the cereal first, it helps avoid lumps in your figure. Let the mixture cool, then shape as needed. Cover in buttercream and/or fondant. I actually stick mine in the freezer once it is sculpted. That way it is really hard! Hope it helps!
I think this is the post that superstar was referring to:
I marked this cuz I thought the idea was great!!
That's the one Eme, thank you, it is a very good tip.

JENNINGS — State Police arrested a Jennings woman accused of extorting an elderly man out of more than $20,000, according to a news release.
Brooke Cormier, 27, was arrested Thursday following a joint investigation involving the FBI and the Lake Charles field office of State Police Investigations, the release said.
The FBI contacted State Police on Tuesday after receiving information that Cormier was calling an elderly man in the Jennings area and claiming that she was wrongfully arrested and charged with prostitution, the release said.
Sgt. James Anderson, a spokesman for State Police, said Cormier and the victim had become acquaintances after meeting at a local establishment.
During the calls, Cormier claimed to be a judge, an FBI special agent and an employee with the District Attorney's Office.
The victim gave Cormier more than $20,000 in the past two months, the release said.
On Thursday, Cormier contacted the victim and requested $1,900 to pay fictitious fines imposed by a fictitious judge, the release said.
The victim delivered the money while watched by investigators, who then arrested Cormier on counts of extortion, theft over $500 and impersonating a police officer, possession of marijuana and possession of a controlled dangerous substance, the release said.
Cormier was booked into the Jefferson Davis Parish Jail, the release said.
Sobriety checkpoint set for St. Martin
State Police will conduct a sobriety checkpoint Friday from 9 p.m. until 3 a.m. in St. Martin Parish.
Troopers will be looking for impaired drivers as well as aggressive drivers and unrestrained occupants, according to a news release.
If you see an aggressive or impaired driver you can report them by calling *LSP (*577) or your local law enforcement agency.

Despite being raised in a family of siblings and parents who love to cook, I've never been interested in the art of creating food. I tend to just dump a few things in a bowl and swallow it down and call it a day. But this class made me take a second to appreciate everything that goes into creating a well-crafted meal, from the inspiration, planning, cooking and plating. I wouldn't say I'm much of a chef now, but I tend to put a bit more time and effort into what I eat. :)
Stephanie Faye
Freelance Designer & Coffee Connoisseur
Chef Paul Liebrandt's food melds the tradition of classical cuisine with a contemporary, personal approach to ingredients and technique and a uniquely graphic visual style.
As a teenager growing up in London, England, Liebrandt cooked for some the world's most esteemed restaurants and chefs including Marco Pierre White at his Michelin three-star restaurant, Raymond Blanc at Le Manor Aux Quat' Saisons in Oxford, and Jean-Georges Vongerichten at the London outpost of Vong. He traces his turning point from cook to chef to a life-changing year he spent working under the brilliant Pierre Gagnaire at his eponymous three-star restaurant in Paris, France. Following that experience, Liebrandt moved to New York City in 1999, where he worked briefly for David Bouley, at Bouley Bakery.
In 2000, Liebrandt first became a chef in his own right at Atlas restaurant on Central Park South. In November of that year, at the age of 24, he earned the distinction of youngest chef ever awarded three stars by the New York Times: critic William Grimes praised his "daring, distinctive style," likening him to "a pianist who seems to have found a couple of dozen extra keys."
After leaving Atlas, Liebrandt cooked at Papillon, then for numerous high profile clients including Lord Rothschild and HRH Prince Andrew. He continued to hone his style at Gilt before opening Corton in 2008., Corton was awarded two Michelin stars in its angular year and was nominated as Best New Restaurant in the United States by the James Beard Foundation, also winning best new restaurant in the USA by Esquire magazine.
In 2013 Liebrandt opened his second restaurant The Elm in Brooklyn, which after six weeks of being open was voted best new restaurant in the USA in Esquire magazine's industry pantheon, its Best New Restaurants list.
Liebrandt has been profiled in Vogue, Men's Health, W Magazine, UK Sunday Telegraph, Men's Health, W Magazine and many others. In 2009, Food & Wine Magazine named him one of the Best New Chefs in the United States. In 2011 the HBO documentary "A matter of taste- serving up Paul Liebrandt" was released which garnered an Emmy nomination and won best documentary at the James Beard Awards in 2012. His first book 'To the Bone' was published by Clarkson Potter in December 2013. Paul Liebrandt lives in New York City.

It's no secret that Wendy Davis is thinking about a run for governor of Texas in 2014, but if she does, she faces an uphill climb. A new poll by Public Policy Polling (PPP) shows that Davis greatly improved her standing and recognition among Texans with her dramatic filibuster of SB 5, which would have shut down 90% of the abortion clinics in the entire state of Texas (Governor Perry has called another special session, and the bill will likely pass). So, what are Wendy Davis' chances if she runs? Let's look at what the numbers say and what they don't.
Davis' favorability rating now stands at 39% favorable, 29% unfavorable. Not bad for someone who just made a name for herself with a big pro-choice stance in a red state. Still, those numbers imply that 32% weren't sure or had no opinion. Davis still needs to introduce herself to about a third of the state.
Governor Rick Perry has a mixed set of numbers, but they add up to a good shot at reelection. After dipping down to 41% approval against 55%, Perry is up to 45%/50%. Yes, that means half the state still doesn't like him, but he is known, and he is a reliable Republican. For those reasons, he beats all likely challengers in a hypothetical matchup, including 53-39 against Wendy Davis. It isn't all bad for Davis, however: Texans don't want Perry to seek another term by an incredible 2-1 margin (60% want him to move on, 30% want him to stay). While many of those 60% would still vote for Perry, Davis could run on a message of change: she would be a fresh face for a state that hasn't had one in over a decade.
Of course, in the background of all these numbers is that Davis is a Democrat in Texas. This simple fact means she starts with a huge deficit. Can she overcome that? One Texas politics expert, and longtime Davis supporter Rachel Farris believes she can:
"She lost her first election when she ran for city council, and she told me once that she hates to lose. She realizes that to be in Texas, and to be a woman in politics you have to outwork everyone and show that you are just as capable, if not more so."
Perry, like his predecessor George W. Bush, has his Texas charm, but also his share of "oops" moments. If Davis can portray him as fumbling, not always competent, and someone who has been in his job too long, she might be able to combine enough of her own momentum with anti-Perry sentiment to take the election. If Perry doesn't run (many think he won't), Davis would be up against someone with less name-recognition but a cleaner slate.
Either way, she faces long odds, but this is the woman who stood for 13 hours without leaning, going to the bathroom, eating or drinking. Running for Texas Governor could just be one more war of attrition.

This application is a continuation in part of applipation Ser. No. 412,379, filed Sept. 26, 1989, now abandoned.
This invention relates to photography and specifically to silver halide photographic elements sensitive to infrared radiation.
Silver halide photography usually involves the exposure of silver halide with light in order to form a latent image that is developed during photographic processing to form a visible image. Silver halide is intrinsically sensitive only to light in the blue region of the spectrum. Thus, when silver halide is to be exposed to other wavelengths of radiation, such as green or red light in a multicolor element or infrared radiation in an infrared sensitive element, a spectral sensitizing dye is required. Sensitizing dyes are chromophoric compounds (usually cyanine dye compounds) that are adsorbed to the silver halide. They absorb light or radiation of a particular wavelength and transfer the energy to the silver halide to form the latent image, thus effectively rendering the silver halide sensitive to radiation of a wavelength other than the blue intrinsic sensitivity.
The advent of solid state diodes that emit an infrared laser beam has expanded the useful applications of infrared-sensitive photographic elements. These include making prints from computer assisted tomography scanners, various graphic arts products that are exposed by diode lasers, and infrared-sensitive false color-sensitized photographic materials as described in U.S. Pat. No. 4,619,892 of Simpson et al.
Dyes for sensitizing silver halide to infrared radiation have been known for some time. The most common infrared sensitizing dyes are tricarbocyanine dyes, for example, those described in U.S. Pat. No. 4,536,473. Many prior art infrared sensitizing dyes, however, are of limited utility for use in an element that is to be exposed to an infrared laser diode. Some dyes exhibit a broad absorbance spectrum, giving the silver halide unwanted sensitivity in regions of the spectrum other than the emission wavelength of the laser diode. This can result in poor image separation (or color seParation) between the layers of an element having multiple infrared-sensitive layers, such as a false color-sensitized material as described in U.S. Pat. No. 4,619,892. Some dyes do not absorb at a deep enough wavelength to impart good photographic speed at the emission wavelength of the laser, which can range up to 900 nm, or, if they do, exhibit an undesirably broad spectral absorption. Another problem with many known infrared sensitizing dyes is the poor stability of the sensitized silver halide emulsion during keeping. Therefore, it would be desirable to provide sensitizing dyes for silver halide that offer deep and narrow sensitization in the infrared with good keeping stability.
According to the present invention there is provided a photographic element of a support having thereon a silver halide emulsion layer sensitized with a dye having the formula: ##STR2##
wherein Z1 and Z2 each independently represents the atoms necessary to complete a substituted or unsubstituted thiazole nucleus, a substituted or unsubstituted oxazole nucleus, a substituted or unsubstituted selenazole nucleus, a substituted or unsubstituted quinoline nucleus, a substituted or unsubstituted tellurazole nucleus, or a substituted or unsubstituted pyridine nucleus.
Z3 represents the atoms that complete a 5- or 6-membered carbocyclic ring,
R1 represents substituted or unsubstituted alkyl, substituted or unsubstituted aryl, or, together with R4, forms a ring structure,
R2 represents substituted or unsubstituted alkyl, substituted or unsubstituted aryl, or, together with R5, forms a ring structure,
R3 represents hydrogen, substituted or unsubstituted alkyl, substituted or unsubstituted aryl, or a substituted or unsubstituted heterocyclic or carbocyclic ring wherein said ring does not have a heteroatom attached directly to the methine chain carbon atom of the dye and does not have a carbonyl in the beta position to the methine chain carbon atom of the dye,
R4 represents hydrogen or, together with R1, forms a ring structure,
R5 represents hydrogen or, together with R2, forms a ring structure, and
X is a counterion as needed to balance the charge of the molecule.
The dyes of formula (I) effectively sensitize silver halide to infrared radiation. The wavelength range of infrared radiation to which silver halide is sensitized with the dyes of formula (I) is both deeper and narrower than previously known infrared sensitizing dyes.
According to formula (I), Z1 and Z2 each independently represents the atoms necessary to complete a substituted or unsubstituted: thiazole nucleus, oxazole nucleus, selenazole nucleus, pyridine nucleus, tellurazole nucleus, or quinoline nucleus.

Khim., 15, 400 (1979), the disclosures of which is incorporated herein by reference.
The dyes of formula (I) are advantageously used to sensitize photographic silver halide emulsions to infrared radiation. These silver halide emulsions can contain grains of any of the known silver halides, such as silver bromide, silver chloride, silver bromoiodide, and the like, or mixtures thereof, as described in Research Disclosure, Item 17643December, 1978 [hereinafter referred to as Research Disclosure I], Section I.

The silver halide emulsions generally include a hydrophilic vehicle for coating the emulsion as a layer of a photographic element. Useful vehicles include both naturally-occurring substances such as proteins, protein derivatives, cellulose derivatives (e.g., cellulose esters), gelatin (e.g., alkali treated gelatin such as cattle bone or hide gelatin, or acid treated gelatin such as pigskin gelatin), gelatin derivatives (e.g., acetylated gelatin, phthalated gelatin, and the like), and others described in Research Disclosure I.

In a preferred embodiment, the divalent aromatic residue represented by A is a stilbene. One such stilbene is represented by the formula: ##STR7##
Specific examples of bis-azine compounds according to formula (III) include: ##STR8##
The optimum amount of the bis-azine compound will vary with factors such as the performance criteria of the photographic element, the processing conditions to be used, the type of emulsion, and the particular sensitizing dye. The bis-azine can be added to the emulsion melt or in other phases of silver halide emulsion preparation, such as during chemical sensitization. Useful amounts of the bis-azine compound preferably include from about 0.1 to about 100 moles/mole dye, although smaller amounts may also be useful depending on factors such as those identified above. Mixtures of different bis-azines can also be used.
The emulsion can also include any of the addenda known to be useful in photographic emulsions. These include chemical sensitizers, such as active gelatin, sulfur, selenium, tellurium, gold, platinum, palladium, iridium, osmium, rhenium, Phosphorous, or combinations thereof. Chemical sensitization is generally carried out at pAg levels of from 5 to 10, pH levels of from 5 to 8, and temperatures of from 30� to 80� C., as illustrated in Research Disclosure, June, 1975, item 13452 and U.S. Pat.

The emulsion layer containing silver halide sensitized with the dye of the invention can be coated simultaneously or sequentially with other emulsion layers, subbing layers, filter dye laters, or interlayers or overcoat layers, all of which may contain various addenda known to be included in photographic elements. These include antifoggants, oxidized developer scavengers. DIR couplers, antistatic agents, optical brighteners, light-absorbing or light-scattering pigments, and the like.
The layers of the photographic element can be coated onto a support using techniques well-known in the art.

The coated layers of the element may be chill-set or dried, or both. Drying may be accelerated by known techniques such as conduction, convection, radiation heating, or a combination thereof.
The photographic element of the invention can be black and white or color. Since the photographic element of the invention is sensitive to infrared radiation, which is invisible to the human eye. a color element would be a false color sensitized element, with one or more infrared-sensitive layers having one or more dye-forming couplers associated therewith. Such an element is described, for example, in U.S. Pat. No. 4,619,892. Color dye-forming couplers and the various addenda associated therewith are well-known in the art and are described, for example, in Research Disclosure I, Section VII, and the references cited therein.

Photographic evaluation was carried out in the following photographic element, coated on polyethylene coated paper support which had been previously overcoated with a layer containing 10.8 mg gelatin/dm2: The imaging layer contained a sulfur plus gold sensitized pure silver chloride emulsion (0.35um), coated at 1.8 mg Ag/dm2, gelatin at 16.6 mg/dm2, and cyan forming coupler (structure A) at 4.5 mg/dm2. The emulsion was doctored with 500 mg/mole Ag of the supersensitizer (structure T 2), 450 mg/mole Ag of the antifoggant 1-(3-acetamidophenyl)-5-mercaptotetrazole sodium salt, and 1 mole percent of potassium bromide. Dyes according to the invention or comparison dyes (identified by the letter "C") were added to the emulsion at 0.03 millimoles/mole Ag. The imaging layer was simultaneously overcoated with a layer containing 10.8 mg gelatin/dm2
To determine broad band speed, the coatings were exposed to a 2850� K. tungsten lamp filtered through a Kodak Wratten� filter number 9 and a step wedge ranging in density from 0 to 3 density units in 0.15 steps. ExPosure times were 0.1 second. Processing was done through a standard Kodak EP-2� process. Speeds were determined at a density of 1.0.
To determine the wavelength of maximum sPectral sensitization, λ-max, the coatings were given 4 sec exposures on a wedge sPectrographic instrument which covers the wavelength range from 400 to 850 nm. The instrument contains a tungsten light source and a step tablet ranging in density from 0 to 3 density units in 0.3 density steps. After processing through a standard Kodak EP -2� process, speed is read at 10 nm wavelength intervals at a density of 0.9 above fog. Correction for the instrument's variation in spectral irradiance with wavelength is done via computer and the wavelength of maximum spectral sensitivity is read from the resulting plot of log relative spectral sensitivity vs wavelength. The speed at λ-max is reported in Table I.
For dyes with sensitivity maxima beyond 850 nm, the wavelength of maximum sensitivity was determined using a series of 2 sec exposures from a 2850� K. tungsten lamp filtered through interference filters ranging in wavelength from 850 to 900 nm in 10 nm increments and a step wedge ranging in density from 0 to 3 density units in 0.15 density steps. After processing through a standard Kodak EP -2 process, speeds were read at a density of 1.0. After correction for the variation in spectral irradiance through the filters, a plot of spectral sensitivity vs wavelength was made and used to determine the wavelength of maximum spectral sensitivity.
The width of spectral sensitivity distribution was determined from the plots of spectral sensitivity vs. wavelength described above by determining the two wavelengths for which the spectral sensitivity decreased by 0.1 log E compared to the sensitivity at λ-max. The spectral width, which is reported in Table I, is the difference between these two wavelengths. ##STR14##

The dyes of the present invention have substantially narrower spectral width and deeper λ-max than the comparison dyes (C-1, C-4, C-5) with an alternate type of symmetrically-placed bridging in the chain. When compared to dyes with an unsymmetrically placed bridge (C-2, C-6) or when compared to dyes with no bridging in the chain (C-3, C-7), the present dyes have a somewhat narrower spectral width and substantially better keeping stability.
Photographic evaluation was also carried out in the following black and white photographic element, coated on acetate support: The imaging layer contained a 0.2 μm cubic AgBrI emulsion chemically sensitized with sulfur and gold, coated at 10.8 mg Ag/dm2, with gelatin at 73.4 mg/dm2. The emulsion was doctored with 500 mg/mole Ag of the supersensitizer [structure T-2] and 1 gm/mole of a tetraazaindene. Dyes were added to the emulsion at 0.2 millimoles/mole Ag or 0.6 millimoles/mole Ag. The wavelength of maximum sensitivity for the dyes and the speed at λ-max was determined using 1 sec exposures on the same wedge spectrographic instrument described in Example 1. The degree of desensitization by the dyes was determined by comparing the speed at 400 nm for the dyed coatings as measured with this wedge spectrographic exposure to the speed at 400 nm of an undyed coating. This difference in speed, labelled Δ400, gives the desensitization. Data for the Dye 12 and comparison Dyes C-8, C-9, and C-10 are given in Table II. Dyes C-9 and C-10 are dyes according to formula (I) except that they have a heterocyclic R3 with a carbonyl in the beta position to the methine chain carbon atom, such as the dyes described in U.S. Pat. No. 2,955,939. ##STR15##

The data in Table II show that dye 12 gives better speed at its wavelength of maximum sensitivity and less densensitization in the region of the instrinsic silver halide sensitivity than the comparison dye C-8. Comparison dyes C-9 and C-10 failed to spectrally sensitize the emulsion in the infrared, and also caused desensitization.
The invention has been described in detail with particular reference to preferred embodiments thereof, but it will be understood that variations and modifications can be effected within the spirit and scope of the invention.

Thankful Thursday!!!
I had this dress made for Charlotte by a friend at school, I had to get some pictures of her in it. Unfortunately we had Occupational Therapy this morning, so Charlotte was not in the mood for a photo shoot. I did get a couple of good shots though. I think she will wear this in her next professional pictures. Anyway, enjoy the pics. Oh and we could use some prayer right now. Next WEDNESDAY I have to start Charlotte on a new eating program. She still only eats from a bottle and will not try liquids other than formula or solid foods. Desperate times call for desperate measures I guess. So when I am home next Wed. through Fri. our Sha Sha will probably not be a happy camper. But hopefully this new approach will end in success. We will need all the prayers we can get though.

Playing at the Park
Finally some warm weather to play outside. Charlotte and I went to the park this morning for a little fun. She loves the slide, up and down, up and down. Still won't try the swings though. But I must say I am loving my new camera. The pictures are just so beautiful.

Charlotte's First Pig Tails
Last Friday, Charlotte and I were hanging out at home, while Daddy and Ethan went to Softball Practice for Church. So we had a girls night doing hair and playing music. Aren't her pig tails so cute!! We also played the piano, which Charlotte also likes to do. I think she is a natural.

Happy 5 Month Gotcha!!
Today is April 5th that means 5 months ago today Charlotte was in our arms for the very first time. It is hard to believe how much she has changed since then. I knew that once she was with us for a while that she would be different than when we first got her but I did not realize how quickly time would fly. Each day that we look at our Happy Sha Sha, we are so thankful for her and how far she has come. When you think of where she is now compared to 5 months ago it really makes your heart want to bring more home. I know, I know be content with where I am now, I just got finished saying these 5 months had flown by, right. And I am content with where our family is right now. I love our family and I am grateful every second of everyday for all of the amazing blessings we have. Here is a little look back at 5 months ago and then a picture I got today. We serve one AWESOME GOD!!!!

THE federal government is standing firm on building the multibillion-dollar national broadband network, which is due in flood-ravaged Toowoomba and some Brisbane suburbs in the second quarter of this year.
Repairs to Telstra's copper network would be made as the fastest way to restore telephone services in most flooded areas, but a spokeswoman for the Communications Minister, Stephen Conroy, said the government would also look at opportunities to replace the damaged network with fast-tracked optical fibre.
''We are in discussions with NBN Co regarding synergies between the rebuilding in Queensland and the [network] rollout,'' the spokeswoman said.
The Prime Minister, Julia Gillard, said the government faced difficult decisions as it settled on its spending priorities. But amid opposition calls for the network to be scrapped the Finance Minister, Penny Wong, said it was a long-term investment in an asset and Labor remained committed to the project.
''It's not money you can just pull out and suddenly use for recurrent expenditure from which you don't get a return,'' Senator Wong said.
As consumer sentiment fell 6 per cent in Queensland and 3 per cent nationally (see story page 7) the Foreign Affairs Minister, Kevin Rudd, said Queensland accounted for a third of Australian exports and there would be an effect on gross domestic product. The government said the total damages bill is not yet known, but economists have put the cost as high as $20 billion.
Senator Wong refused to rule out a flood levy to rebuild Queensland and return the budget to surplus by 2012-13.
The government is keeping its surplus commitment amid calls from business groups and unions to reconsider the election pledge.
The ACTU president, Ged Kearney, said yesterday ''no other major economy is planning to return to surplus as early as Australia''. ''It would be detrimental to Australia's long-term prosperity for the extra costs of the floods to result in a reprioritis-ing of important government spending initiatives including investment in infrastructure or cutbacks to … health, education and other services,'' she said.
Natural Disaster Relief payments from the government of $1000 an adult and $400 a child will become available from today to Victorians directly hit by flood. Small business grants of $25,000 will also apply.
The Opposition Leader, Tony Abbott, standing with the Victorian Premier, Ted Baillieu, in Horsham, said the government grants on offer would not come close to the amounts needed for flood-hit businesses to return to viability.

So about a 8 weeks ago a guy that I really liked started ignoring me and it turns out it was because he had a girlfriend he didn't want to tell me about. I moved on and I started seeing another guy who helped me get over what the other person did to me and with a little time I did. Since I am home for the summer he kept asking me for inappropriate pictures to send to him and when I refused he started ignoring me and I found out this morning that he is now seeing another girl. I cut off all contact with him immediately when I found out and now I feel like this is something that will keep happening to me no matter what I do.

Data structure
Data is organized in many different ways. The logical and mathematical model of
a particular organization of data is called data structure.
There are two types of data structure
Linear data structure
A data structure whose element form a sequence means the element are
processed one after the other. And every element has a unique predecessor or
Four major operations on linear data structure
Traversal: it is the process of visiting each element or item in the data structure
exactly one.
Searching: it is the process of finding the particular element in the data structure
with a given key value.
Inserting: it is the process of adding a new element in the data structure.
Deleting: is the process of deleting the existing element from the data structure.
Two example of Linear data structure
Applications of Queue
- Queues are frequently used in computer programming and the typical
example is the creation of job queue by an operating system. If the operating
system does not use priorities, then the jobs are processed in the order they
enter the system.
- A queue also stores key stroke data as we type at the keyboard.
- When the jobs are submitted to a network printer, they are arranged in order
of arrival. Thus essentially jobs went to a printer are placed on a queue.
- Virtually every rear life time a queue, for example lines at ticket counter at
cinema halls, railway station, bus stands etc. are queues because their
service is provided on first come first serve basis.
Applications of Stack
- Stacks are used for the evaluation of applications which are of the postponed
- used for the conversion of infix notation to postfix notation.
- Stacks are used for the quick sort.
- used for the replacement of recursion in case of game of Towers of Hanoi.
- Stacks are used as a intermediate data structure in case of all the traversals
of trees.
Non-linear data structure:
Non-linear data structures are those types in which the representing of data is
not on sequence basis.
The following are the types of non-linear data structures
Tree is one of the most important non-linear data structures. It is extremely useful
whenever data naturally fit together in a hierarchical structure.
Data contained in the tree exist in a logical relationship i.e like that of parents to
children. Each node, or child in the tree may have on, many, or no children.
Types of trees are
Applications of Tree
- The trees are used to implement mathematical expression:
Algebraic expression such as ((5+z)/8)*(4^2) has an inherent tree like
The expression trees are usually binary tree. Three traversal method are
in-order, post-order and preorder.
The in-order traversal of the tree visit the node in the order as ((5+z)/8*(4^2))
- Heep trees are used to implement heap sort and priority queue.
- The trees are used to implement binary search tree: Binary search is a
special form of binary tree whose nodes are arranged in such a way that for
every node N of T has the
following property:
- The value contained in all the nodes in its left. Sub-tree are less than the
value contained in the node N.
- The value contained in all the nodes in its right sub-tree are greater than
or equal to the value contained in the node N.
- The value contained in all the nodes in its left. Sub-tree are less than the
- Huffman tree are used to generate Hufffman code which makes the character
storage and transmission more efficient.
The tree structure is a special kind of graph in which the relationship between
parent and child is hierarchical. A general graph is a structure that represents
a less restrictive relationship between data elements. A graph is a set of points
and wet of lines, with each line joining and pointing to another. The points are
called nodes or vertices of the graph and lines are called edges.
Graph is written as
V = Set of Vertices or nodes
E = Set of edges
Applications of Graph
in physical, biological and social systems. Many problems of practical interest
can be represented by graph.
communication, data organization, computational devices, the flow of
computation, etc.

Movie review by Greg Carlson
Marjane Satrapi's four volume graphic novel memoir "Persepolis" comes to life in beautifully rendered animation in the Academy Award-nominated movie of the same name. Recounting the author's journey from childhood to young adulthood, "Persepolis" will offer the majority of its American viewers the rare opportunity to peek inside a largely unknown world of experiences. In addition to its memorable design, which breathes stark, expressionistic life into Satrapi's drawings, the movie neatly balances coming-of-age themes common to all cultures with the particularity of the social and political upheaval of the Islamic Revolution.
The story commences in Tehran in the late 1970s, as Marjane's progressive family watches in fear as the Shah's monarchy crumbles under Khomeini. As one repressive system yields to something even more frightening, Marjane (voiced as a kid by Gabrielle Lopes) takes things in stride, mostly trusting the word of her family, skeptically challenging her teachers at school, and ignorantly acting out with a group of friends. Satrapi, who co-wrote the adaptation and co-directed the movie with comics artist Vincent Paronnaud, stuffs the frame with all kinds of humorous detail, including her own mania for pop music. Acquired on the black market, the cassette tapes Marjane adds to her collection include an eclectic range of performers: ABBA and the Bee Gees vie with Michael Jackson and Iron Maiden.
Once the Iran-Iraq War commences, Marjane's parents send her to the French Lycee of Vienna, and the separation leaves a lasting impression on the youngster as she struggles through puberty. In terms of plot, "Persepolis" adopts a linear, episodic chronology, but Satrapi infuses the narrative with her ever-changing personal philosophy, made all the more impressive by the author's healthy dose of self-deprecation. As Marjane explores a range of ideologies, including nihilistic and existential leanings that feed into her anger and depression, the movie retains a refreshing honesty about the changes one undergoes on the path to maturity.
"Persepolis" includes a few brief color sequences, but the majority of the movie unspools in elegant black and white. Despite the film's computer assisted enhancements, the traditional 2D, hand-drawn work, which was completed on paper and then felt-tip inked by a team of artists, immediately evokes an unmistakable warmth that cannot be replicated by software. Animation enthusiasts will positively swoon at the craftsmanship of the feature, and it is a safe bet to suggest "Persepolis" will be scrutinized by animators interested in alternatives to the dominance of 3D modeling and graphics programs like Maya. At times, "Persepolis" nods to animation history, with cutout-style moments that recall seminal work like Lotte Reiniger's "The Adventures of Prince Achmed."
Not too surprisingly, the Iranian government has voiced displeasure at "Persepolis," and made a successful bid to have the movie withdrawn from the Bangkok International Film Festival. A few screenings of "Persepolis" have taken place publicly in Tehran, although according to the Middle East Times, a number of scenes were censored before the showings received the go-ahead. Viewers in the United States might take the privilege of criticizing their political leaders for granted, but "Persepolis" hardly strikes one as anti-Iranian. If anything, it aches with the central character's longing and love for her homeland, even as she lives in exile.
This review was also published in the High Plains Reader the week of 3/17/08.

The French people, while known for their love of wine and cheese, also enjoy dishes that seem unusual to the American palate. These dishes make use of rarely consumed types and cuts of meat or foods prepared in unexpected ways.
Steak Tartare
Raw beef gets finely chopped and combined with mayonnaise, salt, pepper and Worcestershire. The chef shapes this into a ball and makes an indentation in the center into which he cracks a raw egg. Capers, chopped onions, small pickles (cornichons) and thinly-sliced bread accompany the dish, making a light lunch or dinner.
The French do not consider snails garden pests. Garden snails (Helix aspersa) are grown on snail farms throughout France. At maturity, the farmers purge the snails of their stomach contents, which can prove toxic to humans. At restaurants, the snails bake in a white wine and garlic butter sauce, topped with crunchy bread crumbs. Most consume snails as an appetizer, but you can eat them as an entree.
Rooster's Combs
An unusual garnish in France is the red comb at the peak of a rooster's head, known as "crette de coq." Many French chefs use this to add color to poultry dishes. Though a garnish, you can eat the crette de coq, but expect to chew it for a while.
Sweetbreads, known in French as "ris de veau," come from the thymus glands of young animals such as veal or lamb. Braised and breaded sweetbreads appear in a variety of French preparations.

Millenials: A generation covering 20 years
Tech Junior Guard Diamond Henderson drives passed Austin Peay defender on her way to the basket. Henderson leads the team in scoring this season. Jim Dillon
I am one of the generation called "Millennials." Wow. I don't want to claim it. I only started hashtagging in the last year and I've been doing "selfies" since I figured out how to use a camera back in the 90s; cell phones weren't really an option back then. Oh, and I still prefer to write out the words I mean to text.
But, if I had to categorize myself in this generation of millennials, I would call myself an "old school" millennial. Yes, I still prefer a real book in my hand, proper speech and spelling, and I agree with parents who spank their children - not beat their children.
I grew up in a part of this generation who still had respect for the teacher, even though in Tennessee, that still isn't much. We got to learn about life and the subjects we took. The test wasn't the only thing that mattered when I was in grade school.
Going into college, social media was the big thing. MySpace came first and then Facebook, Twitter and so on.
I love Facebook and I am starting to get into Twitter, but I still prefer face-to-face conversations. Texting in code is something I have never gotten used to. I think I go as far as saying "LOL."
As I look around me, I see so many problems. Kids born in the mid to late 90s have attitudes. Boy, do they have attitudes that could curdle milk and curl your toes. They throw tantrums and manipulate adults and generally get on my nerves.
Because parents are now afraid to spank or punish their children, we have a very spoiled second half of this generation. They have some how been given power over the adults. How is that even legal? A child who can't even vote is going to tell an adult how they should be treated. What they want is what they can't live without and the adults must get it for them.
I, for one, would have received a whipping for throwing tantrums or telling my parents "no." Thankfully, I learned from the mistakes of my brothers, so I knew how not to behave, though my brothers still like to call me spoiled.
The definition of spoiled, though, has changed to mean a little tyrant. The latter portion of this generation could get away with robbery and some adult out there would probably say it is ok, just pat them on the hand and give them a warning.
I have to ask the question "what happened to respect your elders?" What happened to respecting those in authority over you and keeping your mouth shut? You get what you get and you don't throw a fit?
I know you know what I am talking about. You've heard the little brat in Wal-Mart, Kroger, and K-Mart who is screaming and yelling, kicking and biting, and generally alerting the whole store to the fact that he or she isn't getting his or her way. Don't try to tell me that if you had the opportunity to spank that child, you wouldn't jump at the chance just to gain some peace and quiet.
Getting off that soapbox, and probably onto another, social media has become the way we can keep up with the people from high school, college or work, and family. We can post all the "selfies" we want or pictures of our families. I prefer to see the pictures of people's families, because, to me, a happy, growing family is beautiful.
"Selfies" are probably the funniest thing next to hashtagging. They're probably also the saddest thing. The worst kind of "selfie" is the one that goes down a girl's shirt, revealing all that her momma gave her. Or how about the shirtless teenage guy in the mirror? Yeah, that is classy all right.
Hashtagging is probably the oddest thing. We #this and #that. People don't seem to post anything anymore without some kind of hashtag. I get the reasoning behind it, but it still looks funny.
Social media campaigns can't seem to work without a hashtag. This seems to be the only way they can do any kind of calculations on their impact.
I guess the worst part of social media is the bullying. Not only do the teenagers of my generation have to deal with bullies at school, but now they have to deal with it on Facebook or Twitter. I already wrote an article on bullying, but cyberbullying seems to be worse on them. But it is no wonder; we have set that generation loose to do whatever comes to its mind.
I am trying to say there is definitely a division in this generation. I come from the end of the 80s and that's where I'll stay.

We recognize that choosing an independent school is a major financial decision for families. Harrisburg Academy strives to assist as many families as possible who cannot afford the full tuition but are determined to stretch their own financial resources to make education their family's top priority. In a typical year, the Academy awards need-based financial aid to approximately 35 percent of the student body. Most of our financial aid awards cover 60 percent or less of tuition. In most cases, the maximum financial aid award is 75 percent in 1st through 12th grade and 50 percent in Junior Kindergarten and Kindergarten. The Academy awarded $1.2 million in need-based financial aid for the 2015-16 academic year to nearly 40 percent of the student body. Qualified, motivated students are encouraged to apply for admission, regardless of financial need. Need-based financial aid is available to Academy families based on a number of different factors. Financial aid is renewable for each year the student remains enrolled at the Academy. Families are required to complete a financial aid application annually (facilitated through School & Student Services by NAIS) so we can review and make adjustments as necessary, based on changes in circumstances and tuition. Find more important details about the financial aid application process in the Academy's Financial Aid Philosophy.
Families with students in Junior Kindergarten through 12th grade for the upcoming 2017-18 academic year are eligible to apply for tuition assistance that provides flexibility in tuition payment amounts. This program is administered by the Academy with the help of the National Association of Independent Schools (NAIS) and its web-based program called School & Student Services. As of Dec. 1, 2016, families are able to apply for this program through the online portal. Please note – families who have applied through SSS by NAIS in the past will need to use their same login information to provide year-to-year consistency in the application process.Looking for an overview of the financial aid process? Identify financial aid options and take the guesswork out of making a private education more affordable through resources on the SSS by NAIS website.
Current Academy families who complete their online application and provide W-2 and 1099 supporting documents by Jan. 15, 2017 will receive their decision letter in Feb. 2017. Applications are considered on a rolling basis, including funding availability. Financial aid applications for returning families are due March 1, 2017. Questions about the Academy's flexible tuition program should be directed to Jessica Warren. Questions about logging into or using the SSS by NAIS website should be directed to their Help Desk at financial aid processing (800-344-8328 or email@example.com). Help desk hours are Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. (Eastern time) and Saturday, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. (Eastern time).
