Worship the King
- Artist: Eric Thomas
- Genre: Gospel
- Release Date: 3/2/2004
Composer, musician, singer. Born Eric Neal Thomas, on February, 28, 1966, in Beckley, West Virginia. Raised in a small town called Oak Hill, as one of eight children. Eric started his music career in a small church that had no musician about thirty years ago. He started playing the drums, the key board and then directing the choir. He realized that music was a way of expressing ideas, feelings and a great way of soothing his and others souls. After two years of college at West Virginia Institute of Technology where he performed in many choirs. He joined the military for eight years which allowed him to see a lot of the world. In Germany He played the piano and directed the Post choir for the church. While on deployment in Africa He directed the choir for the praise and worship service. Eric returned to the United States to Colorado Springs Colorado where he played for three choirs at a local church. His next duty station was in Tennessee where he performed with different choirs and played music for two churches. While in Tennessee writing became the essence of his time and something that he could spend countless hours doing. The first song he wrote and performed in public gave him a feel for the style of music he wanted to compose. In December of 1996 he got out the Military and moved to Lorain Ohio and began to write all the praise and worship music for a small church. He moved to Cleveland Ohio and began recording in his home on a computer/home studio. He was the minister of music for Messiah International Ministries where he wrote the theme song for the church 'Messiah the Anointed One'.. The first CD produced in his home studio was for Messiah which contain four songs. He wrote his first wedding song for a family member who asked him to perform at their wedding which has been performed many times. For the last eight years he has been writing Gospel music and for the last year working on a Worship CD. I am presently looking for a record label for my worship CD. © 2003 Wings of Eagles Music Ministries, All right reserved.

Mood Board
Happy Monday everyone! I hope you had a good weekend. I'm doing the Holly Becker Blogging Your Way e-course at the moment and we had to create a mood board of images we'd like our blog to look like.
That's mine above, I really enjoyed the process of creating a mood board. In the past my ideas have been scattered and with this I found it helped me consolidate them all in one place and spoke to me about where my interests really lie.
Why not have a go at creating one yourself? For instance if you have a birthday party coming up or even for Christmas you can create a mood board of how you'd like to style your table or decorate your room. It really helps to visualise ideas in this way. I'm going to be creating more, you can lay it all out on a manilla folder and fold it up to refer back to later. Enjoy!

Hi Catherine,
Lovely to meet you yesterday. Love the blog! You put mine to shame! I have recommended the course and your blog to my friend who is interested in interior decorating and blogging 😉 (always good to share the wisdom).
I love your mood board. Mine turned out so differently than I thought it would. Good luck with the market.
Chris Chun
Your mood board looks so inviting and delicious! Two of my favourite things in life – food & entertaining!
Catherine Bedson
Thanks Chris, that means alot coming from you!

Gilberto Valle III, a former New York City police officer, was convicted by a jury in March 2013 for using police resources to search women for his online abduction and death-porn fantasies. His arrest and sentencing for conspiring to kidnap, kill and eat several woman, one of them his own ex-wife, created quite a buzz.
It all started when his wife discovered and alerted the FBI that her husband was spending time in chat rooms describing detailed plans to abduct, torture, rape and cannibalize women. He claimed all scenarios he described were mere fantasy.
"All of a sudden, I'm seeing pictures of me, pictures of our friends," his wife testified.
"I was supposed to be tied by my feet, my throat slit, and they were going to watch the blood rush from my body," she said.
There were also photos of her friends who were going to be "stuffed in a suitcase and delivered 'for rape and murder,' others who were 'going to be raped in front of each other to heighten their fears' and one was to be roasted alive over an open fire."
Valle, dubbed the "Cannibal Cop," however, was able to overturn the verdict 15 months later as the evidence supported his contention of "fantasy role-play."
His aggressive fantasies and resulting notoriety cost him his marriage but the doors of romance are still open for him.
In January 2015, Valle faced a lot of flak for creating an online dating profile. He wanted to find a "non-judgmental" woman. "I am spending my energy rebounding from the errors I made in my past and rebuilding my life," he wrote on his profile. However, the site removed his profile.
If the New York Post is to be believed, Valle has at least 50 women ready to have a relationship with him.
"Everything is already out there for people to see, so I have no problem answering questions honestly," Valle said. "I like meeting women who already know everything about me, so I don't have to suddenly drop this bomb on them."
In fact, Valle claims that women started lining up to talk to him immediately after his release from prison in 2014. They also messaged him on social media to congratulate him.
"They would say things like, 'I'm really happy you prevailed' and 'Hope you're doing well.' Many reached out because they are interested in my case. I started chatting more with a few of them and eventually asked some on dates."

Regional Reviews: Los Angeles
Also see Sharon's review of An Italian Straw Hat: A Vaudeville
There's something almost satisfying about a musical that basically says the popular girls really were shallow and insecure. And the idea that they don't have the perfect futures they'd anticipatedbonus! But once the schadenfreude wears off, and you actually want to connect to the characters, Vanities doesn't give you much.
Based on Jack Heifner's play of the same name, and with Heifner writing the book and David Kirshenbaum the score, Vanities follows three best friends through three scenes and an epilogue (the last is a scene added for the musical adaptation). The first scene, taking place in a 1963 high school locker room where the three girls practice their cheers and get ready for the pep rally, is by far the weakest. The characters are broadly drawnthere's the blonde who stuffs her bra and can't spell "Tigers" in the cheer, the redhead who is the leader and plans everything on an ever-present clipboard, and the squeaky brunette who aims for a picture-perfect life as a wife and mother. The scene has three musical numbers, two of which say little about the characters other than they're best pals for lifea theme Kirshenbaum returns to at least two more times in the musical. (In a show with only 12 numbers, not counting reprises, having a full third of the songs on the same topic results in diminishing returns.) By the time the scene ends, with the girls displaying a nearly unbelievable callousness to the Kennedy assassination, the thought of spending two more scenes with this threesome is somewhat less than appealing.
Things pick up dramatically in the second scene. By now, it's 1968 and the girls are planning sorority events for their last year in college. But what gives the scene some punch is that there are cracks developing in the friendship. Mary, the blonde, is taking notice of the social changes around her, and while the other two are content to live in their safe little bubble, Mary wants to get out. Lauren Kennedy has a smooth, beautiful voice, and when she lets loose on "Fly Into the Future"Mary's optimistic declaration of independenceshe makes us fervently hope Mary succeeds. The 1968 scene also gives us the show's first real ballad, "Cute Boys With Short Haircuts," sung by Kathy (the redhead) about losing the only boyfriend she ever had. Anneliese van der Pol has a very delicate delivery here, as though on the verge of tears. The song builds to the point where she's screaming the linesthe dam has burst and she's letting all of her anger out. While it is delightful to finally have real characters on stage with real emotions, one wonders whether it was absolutely necessary to spend so much time on the superficiality of the girls in the first scene. It's clear that their shallowness is an intentional plot pointa starting point for the journey they were going to takebut spending too long establishing characters as uninteresting risks losing the audience entirely.
The third woman gets her chance to shine in the third scenewhen our trio reunites in 1974. Joanne becomes interesting simply because she has failed to let the world change her. Having followed her life plan to the letter, she finds it difficult to relate to her two former best friends who have moved on. Eternally perky (Sarah Stiles plays her somewhere between Mary Tyler Moore and Minnie Mouse), Joanne just wants their friendship to be how it used to be (much like she wants the world to be how it used to be), and Stiles nearly brings down the house with her rousing "The Same Old Music." The show's book also gets a good airing here, as friendly dialogue quickly turns into a verbal cat fight, and the three snipe at each other beneath increasingly-false smiles, leading up to a conclusion that's anything but friendly.
As for the epiloguea brief visit to the ladies in 1990it's the sort of fundamentally problematic scene that makes you question whether Vanities could ever be successfully musicalized. As a musical, it demands closure, and some sort of happy ending. But a happy ending feels like a betrayal of what came before. The friendship was irretrievably broken in 1974, and the idea that, after enough time has passed the women will choose to cling to the friendship they had back when they were silly cheerleaders, cheapens the characters that Vanities ultimately developed.
As a play, Vanities is a drama class staple, as it provides scenes for three actresses. The musical might ultimately have the same fate; it's easy to envision high school students singing the high school songs about staying friends for life. But as Broadway-calibre entertainment, it needs more substance.
Vanities runs at the Pasadena Playhouse through September 28, 2008. For tickets and information, see www.PasadenaPlayhouse.org.

... Go see Jane live, and don't expect a performance. Instead, you'll feel like you've known Jane since you were in diapers, and the two of you are hanging out in her room as she shares stories and music. The level of comfort you feel in Jane's presence and her ability to connect with an audience is astounding...
Hyphen Magazine, 05.2011 :: Musical Crush
... Her latest album...was a labor of love. it ranges from electronica to funk to straight-ahead pop and soul, with a healthy dose of whimsy. The sweet girl-meets-boy pop of " Goodnight Company" will charm your socks off...
A-Tunes.net, 03.2011 :: Critic's Corner
...There are a lot of singers that can make songs but Jane is an artist that makes music.
There's a difference...
MTV Iggy :: Listen to Illusionist Boy
..single-handedly keeping quirky from becoming a dirty word. Take the single "Illusionist Boy" from her forthcoming self-released third album Goodnight Company. It's a rootsy, country-folk track sung in a rich, breathy voice with a lilt to it like sunlight glancing off water. It's a little strange but there's also something familiar about it you can't quite put your finger on.
Jane Lui is beautifully original.
Nerdy-cool and stupid talented, she seems able to take any genre from dance pop to jazz as a starting point for her songwriting and effortlessly make it into something uniquely hers. Watch this adorable video for her song "Jailcard" and see what I mean. Sooo much geek chic! Latest, greatest music crush for sure.
MTV Iggy :: Goodnight Company Album Review
...she challenges because she is the kind of musician who never seems to sit still. She's always moving in the opposite direction from your musical expectations. But listeners willing to abandon their expectations entirely and just follow her lead will be rewarded.
Glide Magazine :: 4 1/2 star Album Review
Unlike many unorthodox musicians who try too hard to prove their quirkiness, Goodnight Company succeeds because it thrives on textures and mood more than arrangements and production.
PledgeMusic.com :: Benji Rogers, Founder
(over $11,600 was raised from fans to fund album)
... Her bold and brilliant music, her attention to detail in not just the way she presents herself musically but also her use of video is amongst the best we have seen at Pledge.
Direct Current Music "ranks easily as one of the year's best finds."
San Diego CityBeat Album Review "...Lui has proven she knows how to put on a show.
PopTimes Magazine "I can't wait to review the whole album."

Jake Bugg has released another cut from his forthcoming album, Shangri La. The new unveiled track is titled "Messed Up Kids" and it features a Folk-y riff but it's essentially more of a modern Brit-Pop song. From the looks we've gotten so far, Bugg's new album should be a good one.

Happy Friday, everyone! We're on the verge of yet another wintery blast, slated to make it's frigid appearance later this afternoon. While I wish we had a bit more firewood on hand (the gentleman we hired to bring us wood has only delivered half of the cord and won't return my calls inquiring about the other half; if any of you Ashevillians know a reliable source of properly seasoned hardwood firewood, I'd love to hear about them), I think we'll be good for up to 3-4 days, should we loose power again. Otherwise, we're set!

I'd love to take this photograph back to Harrison Street in Twin Falls, Idaho. I don't even know if the house is still there. When the photograph was taken, my aunt and uncle were undertaking a major building project. In the decades that followed, they filled every corner with love. I look at the photograph and overflow with memories.
That's what's behind a very clever blog started by 22-year-old Taylor Jones of Kitchener, Ontario. Take a photograph back to the spot where it was taken. Shoot a new photograph, with the old one superimposed. The idea is a winner. When the Toronto Star reported on Dear Photograph on July 8th, the blog had already attracted more than 3.5 million views in two months.
What gives me hope about this project is the touching and funny responses. People who send in photographs address their remarks to the photograph rather than the people in it.
Each photograph is a small glimpse into someone's life. In one photograph a father pushes a pram, something most fathers didn't do when the photo was taken. Under a shot of a father kneeling, with an infant son on his knee is this message: "Dear Photograph, I hope I've made my dad proud. Ryan" In another, a little girl snuggles with a thin-faced man with no hair. The caption: "Dear Photograph, Her love was my chemo. I beat cancer. Eric Richter"
The Globe and Mail calls the entries "a cathedral of nostalgia", and so they are. They will inspire you to look at your own old photographs in new ways.
Follow along on Facebook, Scoop.it and Twitter, and be prepared for a trip down memory lane as photograph after photograph nudges stories out of your mental vault. Jones has a book deal now and will no doubt produce a best seller. But the real success of Dear Photograph is in the snippets of shared humanity elicited by a young man with a quirky idea that's gone viral.

Cinco, Katy matchup headlines weekend
Published 5:12 pm, Tuesday, October 29, 2013
It didn't look like a catch.
Wide receiver Geryn Young said it wasn't after Cinco Ranch's 28-14 victory over Seven Lakes, and quarterback Luke Klingler's father, David Klingler, said he wouldn't want to see a replay.
But this time, replay – if it existed in high school – may have confirmed the call on the field.
Cinco Ranch coach Don Clayton said Sunday in an email that video evidence shows the senior's clutch 41-yard reception – which helped the Cougars take a halftime lead – was, indeed, a catch.
"He made the catch and his knee touched inbounds just before his elbow hit the white of the sideline, which makes it a legal catch since the first body part to touch the ground did so in the field of play," Clayton said.
"Bottom line – he had secured the ball – not sure why he would say he didn't catch it."
The catch was one of two big momentum-changers that went against the Spartans in their bid for their first win in the series.
More Information
Coming up
What: Cinco Ranch (7-1, 5-0) vs. Katy (8-0, 5-0)
When: 11 a.m., Saturday, Nov. 2
Where: Rhodes Stadium
Stakes: First place in District 19-5A play
Seven Lakes coach Lydell Wilson decided to go for it on fourth and 1 from his team's 34 early in the third. QB Rand Turnbull was stopped short, and four plays later running back Blake Hirsch scored on a 1-yard touchdown run to give Cinco Ranch a 21-7 advantage with 9:08 left in the quarter.
The Spartans also hurt their cause with snap issues and missed assignments, but the Cougars earned this hard-fought win.
"Take away a broken play for a TD and a 79-yard run in which we didn't tackle like we are capable of, and they don't score a point," Clayton said. "Statistically, we were better than them in most categories.
"We scored first and they tied it up. We promptly came back and took the lead for good."
Cinco Ranch finished with 292 total yards and 16 first downs.
Luke Klingler completed 10 of 19 passes for 185 yards, with one touchdown and one interception.
Turnbull was just 4-of-12 passing for 37 yards. The Spartans had 214 total yards.
The Cougars forced Seven Lakes to punt on its first two possessions, then forced four three-and-outs in the second half. They also sacked Turnbull four times – Tobi Ilesanmi, Trent Soechting, Justin Felske and Donovan Roberts each supplied one sack – and pressured him relentlessly.
"We knew we had to play our most physical game of the year, and the kids responded well," Clayton said.
Offensively, the Cougars averaged about five yards on their 59 plays, but less than three yards per rush, with a 23-yard loss on a snap that sailed over Klingler's head in the fourth quarter factored in.
But Clayton said the offensive line, which allowed only sack on its opening drive and otherwise held Jarrett Johnson and company in check while matching their physicality, was exceptional.
"Our offensive line had their best game of the year, coming out and just flat getting after it, and the running backs ran hard, and the quarterbacks and receivers executed the passing game extremely well (Saturday)," Clayton said.
"We converted a lot of third downs (five of 13), whether it was short yardage or long yardage, so the kids did a great job of that."


text: Module Name: pkgsrc Committed By: rhaen Date: Thu Jul 17 11:28:06 UTC 2008 Modified Files: pkgsrc/devel/p5-Curses: Makefile distinfo pkgsrc/devel/p5-Curses/patches: patch-aa Log Message: - updated to 1.23 - send patch-aa to upstream (so that they can include it - hopefully) The Curses Perl module was created by William Setzer (William_Setzer at ncsu.edu) in 1994. William maintained it up until July 2001, when he stopped having time to do so. In September 2004, Bryan Henderson (bryanh%giraffe-data.com@localhost) took over maintainership of it, after confirming with William that he did not plan to continue. The module has always been distributed via CPAN. Curses itself is much older than the Perl implementation. Curses was originally only a C programming library. New in 1.23 (Released March 9, 2008) Fix crash of Makefile.PL on Windows. New in 1.22 (Released February 29, 2008) Nothing. Just a packaging fix. New in 1.21 (Released February 15, 2008) Don't undefine 'bool' macro in c-darwin hints file. New in 1.20 (Released November 19, 2007) Fix missing comment delimiter. New in 1.19 (Released November 18, 2007) Make it work on 5.005 again, using ppport.h (Devel::PPPort). From Slaven Rezic - slaven <at> rezic <dot> de . Fix uninitialized value in Makefile.PL on a system without BSD Curses or Ncurses in a common place. Reverse change to chgat() in 1.16. Make expected argument count 4. There was never a 1.18 release; problems with PAUSE prevent using that release number. New in 1.17 (Released October 14, 2007) Fix bug - can't find c-config.h on a system with ncursesw. Make cdemo work on Windows. Don't undefine SP macro with Pdcurses. (Otherwise it won't compile; don't know why we used to undefine SP). In Windows hints file, #include curses.h instead of pdcurses.h. It seems to be called curses.h these days. New in 1.16 (August 7, 2007) Use Ncursesw (Ncurses with wide character functions) instead of Ncurses if available. Undefine "tab" macro, defined by Curses header file. It interferes with perl.h. Fix demo.form to use L! instead of J in the pack template that generates the new_form() argument. Apparently, J is something from older Perl and doesn't exist in current Perl. Put some documentation of the library in comments in demo.form. Use L! instead of I in the pack template in demo.menu. Change SvPV(X,PL_na) to SvPV_nolen(X) to get with the times. Change #!/usr/local/bin/perl to #! /usr/bin/perl . Fix bug: chgat() requires an extra, meaningless, argument. Fix changes expected argument count from 4 to 3. New in 1.15 (October 8, 2006) Add a simple load test 00-load.t. Makefile.PL: use cdemo.obj instead of cdemo.o on Windows. Makefile.PL: Guess ncurses/bsd based on what .h files exist. Fix bug in Makefile.PL: doesn't use curses type in guess at c-config.h (e.g. tries to use c-freebsd.h when it should use c-freebsd.bsd.h). Change all sv_isa() to sv_derived_from() so you can use subclasses. Thanks Leigh <leighbrown%hsbc.com@localhost>. Rename default Darwin (Mac OS X) hints file (ca 2001) to c-darwin.old, and the newer one ca 2004) to c-darwin.old so as to be the default. We're guessing that the newer one applies to more systems today. New in 1.14 (June 3, 2006) Make demo.form work on 64 bit machine. Add some narration to Makefile.PL to help with diagnosis. Move undef of 'instr' from individual hint files to Curses.c and add explanation. Use perl -w instead of 'use warnings' in Makefile.PL so it works with older Perl. New in 1.13 (October 10, 2005) Fix so it builds on current Cygwin. Some kind of build fix to get panels, forms, and menu functions to build.

I have a few questions about the "Structure" theme.
1. How do I set the main image? - The only way I've figured out how to do so it set an image as the feature image for a post – but this defeats the purpose of having a constant Main Image that is different from the image of the most recent post. ( I would like to have an image for each post and a Main Image that is compeltely different, similar to what is seen on this example page).
2. Can I reduce the number of posts that appear on the Home page and if so, how?
3. Can I remove the tags and category from appearing beneath each blog post and if so, how?
4. Is there any way to get rid of the small text smiley face next to the main image on the far right?
If anyone could provide any insight on these issues I would GREATLY appreciate! I'm in a rush to publish a site for a client and this template was by the far the best selection.
**Sorry if there questions have been answered in a previous post, but I couldn't find any answers after a brief search.
The blog I need help with is aisftest.wordpress.com.

Derby no match for Ansonia in Valley rivalry
Updated 11:52 pm, Friday, September 25, 2015
ANSONIA — The Ansonia-Derby high school football rivalry might be second to none in Connecticut in terms of history, tradition and the sincere passion exhibited by each fan base.
But competitiveness? That's still lacking.
Ansonia maintained its stranglehold over its neighbors in the Valley, hammering Derby 48-0 on Friday at Jarvis Stadium, to record its ninth straight victory in a rivalry that dates back to 1902.
"This is called an 'old-fashioned butt-kicking,'" said coach George French, whose Red Raiders last beat Ansonia in 2001. "That's what that was. They lifted our men off the line, and they were more physical than us. Plain and simple, that was an old-fashioned butt-kicking."
It was over early, as Ansonia scored touchdowns on three of its first five offensive plays from scrimmage and improved to 57-28-8 all-time in the series. The Chargers led 21-0 after one quarter and 28-0 at halftime.
Senior Tajik Bagley kick-started the Chargers' offense, rushing for 49 yards and two touchdowns on his first three carries in the first quarter. He finished with 15 carries for 122 yards and three scores, while his running mate in the backfield, senior Tyler Bailey, caught a 70-yard touchdown and ran for 84 yards on six carries.
Latest Sports Video
"We came out intense," Bagley said. "We did what we had to do. That's the moral of the story."
Ansonia, which had won the previous eight meetings by an average of 31 points, didn't let up. Bryson Cafaro connected with fullback Malcolm Martin for a 41-yard score and a 28-0 lead early in the second quarter, and the Derby defense had no answers.
"We had to come out and start fast," Ansonia coach Tom Brockett said, "and we did."
On the other side of the ball, the Red Raiders (2-1) didn't muster much of anything against Ansonia's (2-0) physical front. Star running back Ricky Bartone gained only 45 yards on 21 carries, and quarterback Jake Finnucan threw two interceptions, one of which cornerback Justin Lopez returned 35 yards for a touchdown.
"We had to key on (Bartone). He's a great player," Brockett said. "He's a tough hombre, the way he keeps banging it in there. I thought we did a real good job of playing defense all night."
Derby ran into trouble at the start. It gave Ansonia the ball on the 3-yard line after sailing a snap over the punter's head, setting up Bagley's first touchdown run on the next play. Just 71 seconds in, it was 7-0 Ansonia.
"It was ugly from the get-go," French said. "That snap over the head, that was brutal. You can't do that against Ansonia."
Just seven days after scoring 38 points in a win over Crosby, Derby struggled to even gain yardage. Against the Chargers, it gained only three first downs (one via a defensive holding penalty) over its first seven drives.
"You have no idea of how tired I am of losing to them," French exclaimed.

Verizon Announced the iPhone is coming to their network in February. According to the Las Vegas Sun, Apple and Verizon executives announced that the popular iPhone 4 is branching out to the Verizon Wireless Network in February. They say that the Iphone is going to be available on the Verizon Wireless Network on February 10th.
Some qualified customers will be able to get their Iphone by February 3rd. Rumors and release dates have been floating around since 2007 as to when the Iphone would become available on the Verizon Network. As of today, AT&T's exclusive iPhone contract with Apple has ended, which from what I've heard of AT&T's service, is going to make customers very happy. Verizon Wireless customers have expressed that they can't wait to get a hold of their own iPhone 4.
Tim Cook who is the chief operating officer for Apple said that they have enormous respect for Verizon and the loyalty they have earned from their customers. The iPhone 4 features a 5-megapixel camera and LED flash, HD video recording, Wi-Fi hotspot capabilities for up to five devices and access to more than 300,000 apps through Apple's App Store.

"In 1819, the Essex left Nantucket for the South Pacific with twenty crew members aboard. In the middle of the South Pacific the ship was rammed and sunk by an angry sperm whale. The crew drifted for more than ninety days in three tiny whaleboats, succumbing to weather, hunger, disease, and ultimately turning to drastic measures in the fight for survival." That is the synopsis of the non-fiction book, In the Heart of the Sea: The Tragedy of the Whaleship Essex written by Nathaniel Philbrick. It is also the source material for Ron Howard's latest film.
In the Heart of the Sea will star Chris Hemsworth (Thor), Cillian Murphy (Sunshine), Brendan Gleeson (In Bruges), and Benjamin Walker (Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter). Tom Holland and Frank Dillane are also set to star.
The Wrap reports that two more actors are joining the film with Osy Ikhile and Ben Whishaw each signing on for a role. Ikhile will play a sailor named Peterson and Whishaw will be playing Herman Melville, the author of Moby Dick who found inspiration for his story while aboard the Essex. Whishaw, who's on the up and coming list after starring in both Skyfall and Cloud Atlas, is a welcome addition to the film and seems like perfect casting for one of history's most famous authors.
In the Heart of the Sea is gaining momentum with this casting news, and once Ron Howard wraps up the production and press for Rush, I expect him to move right along to this project. Charles Leavitt (Blood Diamond) is working on the screenplay with Howard's long-time collaborator, Brian Grazer, also producing.
What do you think of In the Heart of the Sea? Do you think it's shaping up to be a project you'll be following?

This article first appeared in the Express-News.
San Antonio-based vision group HVHC Inc. has announced it will be relocating its headquarters — which employs about 250 — from its current location on the North Side to the former headquarters of AT&T downtown.
The group has signed a 10-year lease for about 40 percent of the IBC Centre tower and should move in by Christmas.
The move will consolidate HVHC's retail company, Eye Care Centers of America (the parent company of EyeMasters), and Plainview, N.Y., insurance provider Davis Vision. Davis will bring about 100 jobs, bringing the total to at least 350.
The move is significant as San Antonio for years has struggled against a trend of offices leaving downtown for newer suburban spaces that offer plenty of parking and usually are closer to their employees' homes.
But HVHC President and CEO David Holmberg said the downtown space will allow its headquarters to grow and add jobs as its retail operations grow. Holmberg said the company had outgrown its space at 11103 West Ave., outside Loop 410.
"By being downtown, not only would it be a quality environment for our folks, it would give us the ability to grow in the future," he said.
Also, it was a deal he couldn't refuse.
The city chipped in with an incentives package that includes parking subsidies worth $2.9 million over 10 years. Essentially, up to 350 HVHC employees would be able to park at the city-owned parking garage on Travis and St. Mary's streets at no cost for the first five years of the lease and at a 50 percent rate the next five years.
Should HVHC decide to extend its lease for another 10 years, the company would be charged the market rate at that same garage.
The package also awards HVHC a job creation and retention grant worth $1 million to be distributed over the next two years.
"The city helped put together a proposition that makes a lot of sense for us to come downtown. It's good business and also an opportunity to be a catalyst for San Antonio's 2020 initiative," Holmberg said.
"Bringing workers back to our downtown begins to create a momentum for downtown development in general and employment creation in the heart of our city, and begins to diversify our downtown economy," Deputy City Manager Pat DiGiovanni said.
HVHC would occupy about 112,000 square feet of the building's 280,000 square feet of office space. The group will be spread across six floors, including an eye care center and store on the street level.
HVHC has a third company, Viva International Group, based out of New Jersey, but it's not included in the move.
The tower at 175 E. Houston St., has been mostly vacant since shortly after AT&T announced its move to Dallas in June 2008. On July 1, AT&T's lease expired, paving the way for subsequent lease agreements.
Transwestern, a commercial real estate firm, and the city have been marketing the IBC Centre for nearly two years.
As for the rest of the IBC Centre's space, Transwestern Senior Vice President Larry Mendez said an announcement of future deals is "imminent."
"If things go well, we'll be north of 160,000 square feet (occupied)," Mendez said, declining to offer a timetable.
HVHC will become the IBC Centre's second tenant. Biglari Holdings Inc., the parent company of the Steak 'n Shake restaurant chain, currently occupies 19,000 square feet on the building's top floor. Biglari had been subletting from AT&T since the end of last year. Mendez would not divulge Biglari's current leasing status.
For HVHC, the corporate move will coincide with its rebranding of its retail stores to VisionWorks Inc.
Eye Care Centers of America operates 544 stores in 40 states nationwide, and has plans to expand to 1,000 in the next three to five years.
San Antonio's geographic location relative to the rest of the country is another reason why HVHC chose to stay in San Antonio.
"Texas and New York are our biggest markets," Holmberg said. "Geographically, as we expand on the West Coast, we think San Antonio is perfectly situated."
HVHC is a subsidiary of Pittsburgh-based Highmark Inc., an independent licensee of the Blue Cross and Blue Shield Association.

Diagonals and Symmetry in Polyhedra
Date: 09/15/2002 at 21:39:55 From: David Subject: Platonic Solids I would like to know a formula for finding the number of diagonals in a Platonic solid. I already know that there are 0 diagonals in a tetrahedron, 4 in a cube, and 3 in an octahedron. I still don't know how many diagonals are in an dodecahedron or a icosahedron, but I believe that they are 48 and 160. If you could send me the formula for the number of diagonals in a Platonic solid, it would be very helpful. Thank you for your time. David
Date: 10/26/2002 at 23:04:05 From: Doctor Nitrogen Subject: Re: Platonic Solids Hi, David: There is a much better and more insightful way you can determine the number of diagonals of a Platonic solid than using a mere formula, provided that by "diagonal" you mean diagonals that pass through opposite vertices. You can study their symmetry properties. First of all, note that below I use a symbol like {p, q}. This symbol just stands for a Platonic solid and it means the Platonic solid at issue has polygonal faces that are {p}, meaning if p = 3, 4, or 5 the faces are equilateral triangles, squares, or regular pentagons, respectively, and that exactly q of these faces, where q might be 3, 4, or 5, meet a common vertex. You said you noted that the cube, or {4, 3} had 4 diagonals through opposite vertices, and that the tetrahedron ( {3, 3} ) had no diagonals going through opposite vertices. Well, the reason is plain if you look at the symmetry of both of these solids. The square {4, 3} has opposite vertices; the tetrahedron (or, {3, 3} ) does not. So the total number of diagonals running through two opposite diagonals of a square is 4, one for each two opposite vertices. Can you visualize that? For the dodecahedron, which has 20 vertices, there are no opposite diagonals because there are no opposite vertices, although you can pass a line through the centers of two opposite faces. Now for the octahedron, which has 6 vertices, there are three sets of two opposite vertices, so you can pass exactly 3 diagonals through opposite vertices. Lastly, for the icosahedron, which has 12 vertices, there are 6 sets of sets of two opposite vertices, so you can pass exactly 6 diagonals through opposite vertices. Summarizing, you can pass 4 diagonals through the opposite poles of a cube {4, 3}, you can pass exactly 3 diagonals through the opposite vertices of an octahedron ( {3, 4} ), and you can pass exactly 6 diagonals through the opposite vertices of an icosahedron. Mathematicians call the sets that describe how you can rotate or reflect these five Platonic solids in 3-dimensional space "symmetry groups," because certain rotations in 3-space keep the solid looking exactly the way it did before you rotated it, and because these rotations leave the solid and distances between different parts the same. The specific symmetry groups involved are also called the "tetrahedral," "octahedral," and "icosahedral" groups. You can read more about the symbol {p, q} for the Platonic solids at: 4D Platonic Solids - Polytopes (geometry-research) http://westview.tdsb.on.ca/Mathematics/4DPlatonicSolids.html Did this help answer your question?

Sorry but they're gonna have to sort this out eventually, 13157568421 appearing all over the screen in coming expansions isn't gonna register within the human mind as 'high damage' compared to 13157568.
How can they fix this?

You can fix this right now!
1. Go to Curse.com
2. Download Mik's Scrolling Battle Text
3. ????
4. Profit!
Mik's adds a "k" on to the end of high damage numbers.
You're welcome
"Great item squish" was supposed to fix that, but blizzard seems to give up that idea.
Eventually we can go for "mega damage" where it simply shows 145k dmg instead of 145000.
Yeah two points.
1. Adding a K doesnt register within player's minds as Oh this is super high damage! As much as older, say, TBC damage numbers did.
2. Youre removing responsibility from Blizzard
Angels and AirwavesCHVRCHΞS - Motion City Soundtrack - Bombay Bicycle Club - Los Campesinos - Empire of the Sun - HellogoodbyeEbonheart Pact - Dunmer - Nightblade - Laethys - High Elf - Assassin - Frostmourne - Orc - Shaman - Sea of Sorrows - Norn - ThiefBorderlands 2 - Mechromancer - Battlefield 4 - Engineer - Diablo 3 - Wizard
Problem with the 'mega damage' concept is that 99k can mean anything from 99,000 to 9,999, unless it rounds up in which case it might be telling you you did more damage then you actually did.
Squishing it down makes more sense. Maybe not old content, but starting from next expansion I hope DPS figures are curbed a little. At best we should be doing double the DPS we did at the end of the last expansion, not five times more!
Ha Ha Ha this Op makes me laugh, You are conditioned to blah blah blah, big numbers dont seem big to people blah blah.
Are you serious man?
This is one of the funniest things ive read in a long time. Big numbers are gonna seem big to people no matter how big the get. its not like they get smaller as they get bigger.
Adding a K on the end specifying: One Thousand - is tough.
I hit X for 323,197 aka I hit X for 323K
It's tough, I know.
There are also studies on the limits of working memory. On average, humans have a working memory capacity of 7 ± 2.
There's also the thing about which is a more gratifying change: the letter suffix (K to M to B...) or numbers going from 735 to 3637. Seeing the actual numbers go up is more visceral than seeing the numbers actually go down, but having a different letter at the end. This currently happens depending on the SCT addon you use. Some addons sum the damage of AoE spells. So depending on how many targets you hit, the damage could range from several hundred thousand to a few million. So you could have a SCT string going: 990K, 950K, 1.1M, 900K, 1.2M, etc.

I was saying this back when Cataclysm launched. Health pools, damage numbers, stat numbers on gear, etc, etc were getting really high and out of control then. It's even worse now. I just think it's retarded to see a lvl 90 toon with hundreds of thousands of hit points. To me, it just makes things seem out of control and not very proportionate. There comes a point in time in video games (IMO) when you just have to say enough. I've always felt like Blizzard increased numbers way to much with each expansion, but hey, that's just me. Smaller number pools have always been easier to manage and overall, make more sense in the grand scheme of things. Things just start to seem irrelevant when they become so ludicrously high. "Oh look, I just hit that mob for 349,219 damage. Yay."
Bigger problem is the absurd stat scaling and ilvl inflation. Full heroic geared players are doing 300k DPS and millions of burst. In 5.1, 100k single target DPS was considered excellent but now it's almost nothing.
I guess it is because of LFR. Instead of just 13 ilvl gap between normal and heroic/next tier normal, there is another 20ilvl gap between LFR and normal.

As we look farther away from the Earth, we see objects as they were longer and longer ago. We see the sun as it was 8 minutes ago, the nearest star as it was 4 years ago, and distant galaxies as they were billions of years ago. The challenge is to organize all this information about our past into a coherent view of the universe.
Now is the best time to be a cosmologist. We are far from the unsubstantiated ideas of the past, since we now have data to back up our theories. But, we are also far from the certitude of the future, since many questions remain. These questions link together particle physics (the study of the very small) with cosmology (the study of the very large).

A bomb planted inside a mosque killed the governor of Afghanistan's eastern Logar province as he was delivering a speech Tuesday morning to mark the Muslim holiday of Eid al-Adha, officials said.
The explosion at the main mosque in the provincial capital of Puli Alam killed Governor Arsallah Jamal and wounded 15 people — five of them critically, said the governor's spokesman, Din Mohammad Darwesh.
Jamal, 47, was a close confidant of President Hamid Karzai and served as his campaign manager during the 2009 presidential elections. He also served as governor of eastern Khost province until he was appointed to his current post in Logar in April.
A high-profile target, he had survived a number of assassination attempts in the past, including with suicide bombings.
No one immediately claimed responsibility for the attack, but the Taliban have been targeting Afghan officials, military and NATO troops as part of their campaign to retake territory as international troops draw down ahead of a full pullout at the end of 2014.
Bomb planted inside microphone
Tuesday's explosion took place as Jamal was speaking inside the mosque to worshippers gathered for one of Islam's holiest days, said Logar's deputy police chief, Rais Khan Abbul Rahimzai.
The bomb was apparently planted inside the microphone in the front part of the mosque, said two officials, speaking on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak to the media.
Jamal was recently in the spotlight following his revelation that a senior commander of the Pakistani Taliban was taken into custody by American forces in Logar province on Oct. 5.
U.S. officials confirmed that Latif Mehsud, a leader of the Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan, or TTP, was captured by U.S. forces in a military operation.
At the time, Jamal told The Associated Press that Mehsud was captured as he was driving along a main highway in Mohammad Agha district. The road links the province with the Afghan capital, Kabul.

Final Guilty Plea in $47 Million Mortgage Fraud Scheme Defendants Agree to Forfeit $2.5 Million, Luxury Cars, and Yacht
|U.S. Attorney's Office October 05, 2009
The last of seven people charged in a $47 million mortgage fraud scheme pleaded guilty Friday in U.S. District Court in Seattle to Conspiracy to Commit Bank Fraud, Mail Fraud and Wire Fraud and Filing a False Tax Return. VIKTOR KOBZAR, 32, of Federal Way, Washington faces up to eight years in prison and fines of up to $350,000 when sentenced by U.S. District Judge Marsha J. Pechman on January 8, 2010. KOBZAR was a mortgage broker and is one of seven defendants indicted and arrested in March 2009. The defendants were involved with three Bellevue, Washington companies: Emerald City Escrow LLC, Nationwide Home Lending LLC, and Kobay Financial Corporation.
These other defendants have also entered guilty pleas and face up to five years in prison and a $250,000 fine when sentenced on December 4, 2009:
- Camie Byron, 28, of Renton, loan officer for Kobay and Nationwide.
- Alla Sobol, 28, of Renton, a mortgage broker for Nationwide.
- David Sobol, 40, of Issaquah, an owner and operator of Emerald City Escrow.
- Sandra Thorpe, 55, of Shoreline, an accountant who falsified income statements and employment verification letters.
Donata Baydovskiy, 28, of Bellevue, part owner of Emerald City Escrow, also faces five years in prison and a $250,000 fine when sentenced on December 18, 2009. Her husband, Vladislav Baydovskiy, 31, of Bellevue, Washington, a mortgage broker, is scheduled to be sentenced January 8, 2010 and faces up to eight years in prison and fines of up to $350,000. All of the defendants will be required to make restitution in amounts to be determined by the court.
According to records filed in the case, investigators reviewed dozens of loan files that were submitted by Nationwide and Kobay to lending institutions. In 69 of these loan files, representing over eighty percent of the reviewed files, fraudulent information was submitted to obtain some $47 million in loans. All of the loans were closed at Emerald City Escrow. The defendants used "straw buyers" and other unqualified buyers to obtain purchase money and refinance loans. Employees and principals at Kobay and Nationwide prepared and submitted falsified loan applications and related verification documents to lenders in a scheme to conceal the fact that buyers were otherwise unqualified to obtain the loans. Relying on the falsified statements, lenders extended loans that often exceeded the value of the property and the borrower's ability to re-pay the loan. Employees and principals of Emerald City disbursed the excess loan proceeds from the escrow accounts to themselves, or others associated with them.
One property in Medina, Washington was sold to a recruited buyer for $775,000 and within six months was sold again to a second recruited buyer for $1.2 million. The falsified loan application submitted by KOBAY on behalf of the second buyer reported a monthly income of $45,000 a month with assets of more than $800,000. In fact the buyer operated a house cleaning business and earned between $18,000 and $20,000 a year. The loan was closed at Emerald City Escrow. Bank records indicate hundreds of thousands of dollars in proceeds from the transaction were paid directly to be used to benefit Viktor Kobzar and Vladislav Baydovskiy. Some of the funds went to pay Vladislav Baydovskiy's homeowner's management fees and moorage fees for his yacht.
A second property in Newcastle, Washington was purchased by David Sobol in August 2007, for $669,950. A month later Sobol sold the property to co-defendant Camie Byron for $1,000,000 – about $330,000 more than his purchase price. Using falsified loan applications that misrepresented her income and assets, Byron obtained two loans on the property totaling about $900,000. Byron then "flipped" the property again to another straw buyer in November 2007. The purchase price in November 2007 was $1.4 million. The loan application submitted by the buyer in November 2007 grossly inflated the buyer's income to meet the lending requirements. According to the application, the buyer earned more than $324,000 in 2005 and $385,000 in 2006. In fact, the buyer reported income to the IRS of $13,245 in 2005 and $16,600 in 2006.
The defendants have agreed to forfeit $2.5 million and a number of luxury vehicles. The vehicles include a 2004 Lamborghini Gallardo, a 2006 BMW 750, and a 2002 BMW X5, and a 31-foot Bayliner.
The case is being investigated by the FBI, U.S. Postal Inspection Service, and the Internal Revenue Service Criminal Investigation (IRS-CI).
The case is being prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorneys Jim Oesterle and Carl Blackstone.

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 650 Ti Review

- NVIDIA GeForce GTX 650 Ti Review
- More Performance For Your Budget

- Benchmarks - Batman: Arkham City
- Benchmarks - Dirt 3
- Benchmarks - Aliens vs. Predator

- Final Thoughts
- All Pages
3DMark11 by Futuremark is the latest iteration of their "world's most popular" graphics benchmarking suite. It's based upon DirectX 11 and "makes extensive use of all the new features in DirectX 11 including tessellation, compute shaders and multi-threading."
We ran the four graphics tests of the "Performance" and "Extreme" presets to determine our system graphics score. The four tests evaluate the following:
Graphics Test 1
- Based on the Deep Sea scene
- No tessellation
- Heavy lighting with several shadow casting lights
Graphics Test 2
- Based on the Deep Sea scene
- Medium tessellation
- Medium lighting with few shadow casting lights
Graphics Test 3
- Based on the High Temple scene
- Medium tessellation
- One shadow casting light
Graphics Test 4
- Based on the High Temple scene
- Heavy tessellation
- Many shadow casting lights
Benchmarks - 3DMark11 Extreme
Benchmarks - 3DMark11 Performance
Both 3DMark11 tests show the GTX 650 beating out the GTX 560, and coming in very similarly to the GTX 560 Ti, which again is impressive. These benchmarks are more synthetic than what you'll see in the real world, and what we see is Kepler's improvement in handling next-gen rendering technology, allowing it to surge forward compared to Nvidia's past generation.
remember how 9800gt is a c2d era card?
now compare gtx 650ti to it on an [email protected] and we have something of a GPU upgrade advise here.
I see where you are coming from, but most games today are exceedingly GPU-dependent, and you could possibly make the argument that the upgrade would be even more pronounced because the GPU would make up a greater percentage of the overall "horsepower" assuming the C2D doesn't create a blatant bottleneck. Of course if it did, you're point is very pertinent because the upgrade would require a new chipset.did you miss something? hell yah!

Thanks for the input and perspective!
that and use quad or c2d OCed cpu to pit it against gtx 650ti for more accurate comparison results.

Boy Who Killed Neo-Nazi Dad Blames Criminal Minds Episodeby Free Britney at . Comments
A young boy who killed his purportedly abusive neo-Nazi dad is blaming it on the CBS crime drama Criminal Minds, according to the Los Angeles Times.
He saw an episode in which a boy killed his abusive father and didn't get in any trouble; as such, he thought that he could off his dad and get away with it.
The boy was only 10 when he killed his father and is being tried as a juvenile.
His name has not been released because of his age; his young sister lied at first about it saying that their stepmom told him to do it, later changing her story.
The young boy says he killed his father, described in various news reports as a a neo-Nazi, to stop domestic abuse that was going on in their home.
He is undergoing mental health evaluations.
At the young age of 10, officials say it's unclear if he knew what he was doing when he shot his dad, and what the best course of action is going forward.
In unrelated news, CM star Thomas Gibson was arrested over the weekend.

Wollemi College's year 6 stage band has grown in confidence and competence in just 13 weeks with the help of brother school Redfield College in Dural.
The Werrington school's head of music Mark Ranftl and Redfield's music co-ordinator Paul Quinn tutor the 31 students in the grade on instruments including the trumpet, trombone, clarinet, alto saxophone and flute.
It is the second year the school has run a compulsory band program.
About 90 per cent of the school's current year 7 students have elected to continue.
"Any instrument when you first start is a bit difficult, and until you reach a certain level with it, sometimes it's hard to enjoy," Mr Ranftl said.
"We found that most of the boys who said they didn't want to try it ended up continuing at the end of the year because they realised they could do it and it's a lot of fun.
"It's pretty fantastic to still have a large band, and next year it will be years 7 and 8 so it will just keep growing."
Mr Ranftl said music also taught skills beyond mastery of an instrument.
"The discipline you get from music and the feeling of ownership of what you've learnt has a really positive impact on the way that the students learn and are approaching their academic life," Mr Ranftl said.
Mr Quinn, who has taught at Redfield College for 21 years, agreed.
"The greatest thing about music is in achieving focus," he said.
"The practice creates a routine, and routine is what they will need to carry them through their HSC."
The Star Wars theme, Amazing Grace and To The Max, Mr Sax are now part of the pupils' repertoire.
A concert and overseas tour are on the cards.

Kips Bay 2014 Decorator Show House
The annual Kips Bay Show House has been open for a few weeks, and I finally had a chance to run by. It's being held in the Villard Mansion on Madison Avenue, and that alone is reason to take a tour and see real architecture, in the classical sense.
As you know, these show houses are fantasias. They're meant to seduce and to sell by exaggeration, and since the designer is footing the bill, they can do whatever they want, without being tied to a capricious client. It also only has to look good for a month, so no one really knows if these styles will have an expiration date.
With that in mind, these fantasies are bound to Park Avenue tastes — these aren't any downtown hipsters at work or anyone's first time out. And the Villard Mansion, occupying the whole eastern side of Madison between 50-51 Streets, provides a majestic and stately bone structure on which to hang curtains. It invites broad strokes.
Since the show house is two-thirds into its run and has been widely covered elsewhere, I'll leave this as a pretty pictures post and let you go googling for vendors. And these are my bullet-point notes on trend spotting: I saw plenty of metallic finishes on walls, both in paint and paper. Chevrons make one last hurrah, and ditto the "lacquered look." Ceilings were seldom just white, rooms might be but were just as often quite adventurous — neon, tangerine, copper, and deepest teal. Pattern suggests retro 80s, clashes with itself and completely grabs the eye.
I was especially impressed with how well large rooms received large — and rare — furnishings. And all that inlaid marble on the wall in the Grand Entry by Martyn Lawrence Bullard (checkerboard floor) is actually marbled paper, cut and pieced together under the dado.
Kips Bay Show House
457 Madison Ave, New York
