text: Overview -- U.S.-based movie exhibitor Cinemark USA Inc., subsidiary of Cinemark Holdings Inc., is issuing $400 million senior notes due 2022 and is amending its senior secured credit agreement to put in place a $700 million term loan due 2019 and a $100 million revolving credit facility due 2017. -- The company will use proceeds to repay the existing term loan and to fund a portion of the acquisition of theaters from Rave Cinemas LLC. -- We assigned the proposed term loan and revolving credit facility our 'BB+' issue-level rating with a recovery rating of '1'. We assigned the proposed senior notes our 'BB-' issue-level rating with a recovery rating of '4'. We are revising the recovery rating on the company's senior notes due 2019 to '4' from '5', and consequently raising our issue-level rating on this debt to 'BB-' from 'B+'. -- The stable outlook reflects our expectation that despite secular risks facing the industry, Cinemark will continue to exhibit stronger profit measures than peers and leverage below 5.5x over the intermediate term. Rating Action On Dec. 4, 2012, Standard & Poor's Ratings Services assigned Cinemark USA Inc.'s proposed $700 million term loan due 2019 and $100 million revolving credit facility due 2017 a 'BB+' issue-level rating (two notches higher than the 'BB-' corporate credit rating on holding company Cinemark Holdings Inc.), with a recovery rating of '1', indicating our expectation for very high (90% to 100%) recovery for senior secured lenders in the event of payment default. We assigned the company's proposed senior notes due 2022 a 'BB-' issue-level rating (the same as the corporate credit rating), with a recovery rating of '4', indicating our expectation for average (30% to 50%) recovery for senior note lenders in the event of payment default. At the same time, we are revising the recovery rating on the company's senior notes due 2019 to '4' from '5', and consequently raising our issue-level rating on this debt to 'BB-' from 'B+'. All other ratings, including the 'BB-' corporate credit rating on Cinemark, were affirmed. The outlook is stable. Standard & Poor's analyzes Cinemark Holdings Inc. and subsidiary Cinemark USA Inc. on a consolidated basis. Rationale The corporate credit rating on Plano, Texas-based Cinemark Holdings Inc. reflects Standard & Poor's Ratings Services' expectation that leverage and capital spending will remain relatively high, but that Cinemark will continue to be among the most profitable theater chains, despite potential for some slowing of its long-term growth. We consider the company's business risk profile to be "fair" (based on our criteria) because of its consistent operating performance, despite the inherent unpredictably of the movie business. Relatively high leverage and aggressive capital spending plans underpin our view that Cinemark's financial risk profile is "aggressive." Although we expect Cinemark to continue outperforming its U.S. peers and maintain industry-leading EBITDA margins, it operates in the movie exhibition industry, which we consider both mature and driven by the success of hit films. We score management and governance as "satisfactory" under our criteria, reflecting our view that, relative to peers, management has demonstrated a successful track record in expanding and managing its theater circuit. (See "General Criteria: Methodology: Management And Governance Credit Factors For Corporate Entities And Insurers," published Nov. 13, 2012, on RatingsDirect). Cinemark is the third largest movie exhibitor in the U.S., by revenue, with a significant and profitable presence in Latin America that is supporting growth. Our assessment of Cinemark's business risk profile as fair stems from the industry's exposure to the fluctuating popularity of Hollywood films and proliferating entertainment alternatives. Additional risks include a shortening interval between theatrical and lower-priced video-on-demand (VOD) or DVD release, and consumer resistance to higher three-dimensional (3D) ticket prices that we expect to pressure theater attendance over the long term. Cinemark has a high-quality circuit, having resisted building oversize theaters, which have excess capacity during slower seasons of lower release activity. Moreover, Cinemark has not acquired underperforming properties to the extent that its more acquisition-oriented competitors have. As a result, its EBITDA margin compares favorably with peers'. Under our base-case scenario for the full year 2012, we expect mid- to high-single-digit percentage revenue and EBITDA growth for the full year. We expect strong domestic box-office performance and higher international attendance levels should drive growth in the 2012 fourth quarter. For 2013, we expect revenue and EBITDA to grow at a mid- to high-single-digit percentage rate, driven by the revenue and EBITDA contribution from Cinemark's recent acquisition of theaters from Rave Cinemas, the addition of new theaters, and an increase in international attendance. We expect international attendance to grow at a high-single-digit rate in 2013, resulting from increased utilization and theater circuit expansion, which should more than offset domestic attendance declines. We envision flat to minimally higher concession prices, and assume stable concession sales per patron volume. We expect the EBITDA margin could decline modestly if Cinemark increases the number of new theaters, which initially have lower utilization. We still expect Cinemark's margin will continue to outperform peers'. We see ongoing risk to attendance from studios releasing films to premium VOD platforms within the traditional theatrical release period. Cinemark maintained healthy international growth, and domestic performance was only slightly worse than industry averages in the third quarter ended Sept. 30, 2012. Revenue and EBITDA declined 1% and 4%, respectively, year over year, with domestic revenue declines more than offsetting strong international growth. Total attendance was roughly flat, with international attendance growth of 14% offsetting a 7% decline in domestic attendance. The company's EBITDA margin for the 12 months ended Sept. 30, 2012, increased slightly to 22.5% from 22.2% in the prior-year period because of strong first-quarter domestic box-office performance. Pro forma for the acquisition and refinancing, Cinemark's debt-to-EBITDA ratio (adjusted for leases) increases to 4.6x from 4.4x as of Sept. 30, 2012, due to higher debt balances. Adjusted leverage is in line with the indicative debt-to-EBITDA ratio range of between 4x and 5x that characterizes an "aggressive" financial risk profile under our criteria. Pro forma adjusted EBITDA coverage of interest was roughly even with the year-ago period at 2.7x. Our base-case scenario indicates Cinemark's leverage will remain in the mid-4x area in 2013. Capital spending for theater-circuit expansion remains high, at 38.1% of EBITDA in the 12 months ended Sept. 30, 2012, down slightly from 38.5% in the prior-year period, because of EBITDA growth. As a result of continued expansion, we expect capital spending to increase to about 40% projected EBITDA for the full year of 2012 and to about 45% to 60% of projected EBITDA in 2013. Cinemark's dividend, which it raised 17% in November 2010, consumes an additional 18% of EBITDA--relatively high for a capital-intensive business. As of Sept. 30, 2012, the conversion rate of EBITDA to discretionary cash flow declined to 13% from 22% in the prior-year period, because higher capital spending and less favorable working capital dynamics. Discretionary cash flow could fluctuate from modestly positive to modestly negative in 2013 depending on box-office performance and the company's aggressive capital spending plans and dividend payout. Liquidity In our view, Cinemark has "strong" liquidity. Our assessment of Cinemark's liquidity profile incorporates the following expectations and assumptions: -- We expect sources of liquidity over the next 18 to 24 months to exceed its uses by 1.5x or more. -- We expect net sources to exceed uses, even if EBITDA declines by 30%. -- We expect Cinemark to maintain covenant compliance, even if EBITDA declined 30%. -- Because of its high cash balance and access to a currently undrawn revolving credit facility, we believe Cinemark could absorb low-probability, high-impact shocks. -- The company has solid relationships with its banks, and a good standing in credit markets, in our assessment. Cinemark's sources of liquidity, pro forma for the transaction, consist of cash of roughly $480 million, and an undrawn $100 million revolving credit facility. As part of the proposed transaction, the company is replacing its $73.5 million revolving credit facility due 2015 with a $100 million revolving credit facility due 2017. We expect it to generate around $325 million to $375 million in funds from operations in 2013. Working capital needs are modest. Expected uses of liquidity include around $250 million to $325 million of capital expenditures in 2013, around $100 million of annual dividends, and minimal debt maturities. We also believe some portion of cash balances could be used to make additional acquisitions. Under our base-case scenario, we expect discretionary cash flow could turn modestly negative in 2013 because of aggressive capital spending plans and a high dividend payout. Additional liquidity could be provided by the company's stake in National CineMedia LLC, which trades publicly as National CineMedia Inc., with a current value of roughly $259 million at Nov. 30, 2012. Annual debt principal payments are $7 million under the new term loan, and there are no significant maturities until 2019. Cinemark's undrawn revolver matures in 2017. We expect Cinemark to maintain sufficient headroom with the covenant governing revolver usage. Recovery analysis Outlook Our rating outlook is stable. Despite the secular risks facing the industry, we believe Cinemark will continue exhibiting stronger profit measures than peers over the near term and maintain credit metrics at or near current levels. We currently view an upgrade as slightly more likely than a downgrade. We could raise our rating if Cinemark maintains its industry-leading EBITDA margin and reduces leverage below 4x. This would likely entail Cinemark articulating a financial policy targeting lower leverage, and moderating expansion plans, and possibly its dividend payout, to support these objectives. We could lower our rating if operating performance weakens and aggressive theater expansion plans do not gain traction, causing discretionary cash flow to turn severely negative and leverage to exceed 5.5x on a sustained basis. This could entail, for example, low-double-digit and twenty percent revenue and EBITDA declines, respectively, caused by low-double-digit declines in attendance, with no offsetting capital expenditure and/or dividend reduction. Such declines could occur with reductions of Hollywood output, weak performance of peak summer mass audience films, and premium VOD gaining traction and eating into theaters' revenues.

For years people have been noting that he is not a Republican, but "for the party's sake" you were supposed to "toe the line" and let yourself go against your better judgment. Grow a brain people and stop being used!
In particular I was called all kinds of names for not being a party tool and supporting John McCain, my arguments were the same with Specter who pushed for amnesty for illegal aliens even more than the Democrats. Specter also voted for the bailout bill. Back in September 2008 I was called pathetic for not blindly supporting the Republican Party:
Why don't you stop complaining and criticizing and whinning and try being part of a solution. ...
... go ahead and be a doormat like the rest of the ones like you who whine like babies because nothing gets done the way you want, go and cry like babies - ...
Take it the cleaners buddy..you are pathetic!
... go ahead and be a doormat like the rest of the ones like you who whine like babies because nothing gets done the way you want, go and cry like babies - ...
Take it the cleaners buddy..you are pathetic!
The person who is pathetic is the person who continues to be used by the two parties and doesn't vote for the person who is going to represent you the best. Voting for a candidate alone because he has duped a party into supporting him is foolish on its face and I hope that traitorous actions like those now shown by the likes of Arlen Specter will wake even more people up to the fact that it's the person, not the party you are voting for.
As for Arlen, I don't expect to see him vote any differently than he already has. More big government, more pushes for amnesty. The Senate is notorious for supporting amnesty for illegal aliens and voting against the people of this country anyway, so there'll be no change there. Specter was the most liberal "Republican" in the Senate and his voting won't change. The disgusting thing about it is it is clearly being done by him for money and power and not because of beliefs. He was facing Pat Toomey in the upcoming primary in Pennsylvania and according to all prognostications he had a slim to none chance of winning it. So instead he switches parties in order that the Democrats will dump money on him so that he can remain in power. He was so worried about Toomey, that he started running ads against him weeks ago.
I'd be more concerned about what this man's actions shows about his character than the two parties themselves. Arlen Specter is a power and money groveling fool who has tricked many others into supporting his megalomaniacal drives and any Democrat thinking of supporting him should realize this in advance.
That being said, I have little faith in the American voter in Pennsylvania to actually look past the party and at the candidate and decide that this guy is what is truly wrong with the current day politician. After all isn't it just about your party winning and sticking it to the other guy's party and not about a candidate upholding the Constitution and what is good for America? In being tricked to voting party line you are supporting corruption, greed... and assholes like Specter.

I've written about rumination several times because it is such a stress-magnifier, and many people are prone to it at one time or another. Rumination—the habit of obsessing over negative events that happened in the past—is associated with many negative effects, both on the mind and the body. (Read about the effects of rumination here.)

Rumination, however, is an easy mode to slip into when we're stressed, because it begins with the simple desire to solve the problems that are plaguing us. (Solving the problem, we reason with ourselves, will relieve our stress. How can this be a bad idea?) Those who do not examine, make sense of, and learn from the difficulties in their lives are destined to repeat them, we reason, so it becomes more difficult to let go of our ruminative tendencies. What's a serenity-seeker to do?

Rumination: How It Works

Most people don't set out to ruminate over their problems. Most of us want to be happy, and want to focus on thoughts that make us happy. The problem comes in when something really frustrating, threatening, or insulting happens to us—something that is difficult to accept—and we can't let it go. We may be trying to make sense of it in our mind, making an attempt to learn from it, or we may just be seeking validation that this should not have happened. Whatever the reason, though, we can't stop thinking about it, and when we think about it, we become upset. Rumination may involve going over the details of a situation in one's head or talking to friends about it, but the defining aspect of rumination that differentiates it from regular problem-solving is the unproductively negative focus it takes.

How Does Rumination Differ From Emotional Processing?

I've had several readers ask me the same question that I wondered myself upon learning about rumination: if we don't think about our problems, how can we hope to solve them or learn from the process? Should we just focus only on the positive, and don't we sacrifice growth and solutions in the long run if we don't focus on unpleasant situations from time to time? This is an important question; knowing the happy midpoint between ignoring problems and engaging in rumination can save us a lot of stress!

Basically, rumination involves negative thought patterns that are immersive or repetitive. Many people slip into rumination when they are trying to process their emotions, but they become "stuck" in negative patterns of replaying past hurts without moving toward solutions or feelings of resolution. What distinguishes rumination or "dwelling on problems" from productive emotional processing or searching for solutions is that rumination doesn't generate new ways of thinking, new behaviors, or new possibilities. Ruminative thinkers go over the same information repeatedly without change, and stay in a negative mindset. Rumination can even be 'contagious' in a way; it is possible for two people to engage in "co-rumination" and keep a negative situation alive between them with little movement toward the positive.

Recognizing Rumination In Yourself

What does rumination look like, and how is it different from productive emotional processing? Rumination and emotional processing both tend to focus on problems, and usually on emotions surrounding these problems. Rumination, however, tends to have a more negative bent--often including thought patterns that involve pessimism and cognitive distortions, and focusing mainly on the negative aspects of a situation. Emotional processing, by contrast, may start out this way, but leads to acceptance and release of negative emotions, while rumination keeps you "stuck."

As a general rule, if you find yourself focusing on a problem for more than a few idle minutes, feeling worse than you started out feeling, with no movement toward accepting and moving on, and no closer to a viable solution, you have probably fallen into the trap of rumination. (Likewise with a conversation with a friend--if the above are true, and if you both end up feeling worse afterward, you've likely just engaged in co-rumination.)

What To Do About Rumination

The thing is, although rumination makes us feel worse rather than better, it can be really difficult to give up, especially if you don't recognize it as rumination, or you don't know how to stop. These tips on letting go of stress and anger can help with ruminative thinking. This article on dealing with negative emotions can also help with rumination and the feelings of stress that come with it. And these tips on letting go of rumination can help you to rid yourself of the rumination habit for good!

Former Evans resident Deron Hicks admits that there might be an element of trickery in Secrets of Shakespeare's Grave, his debut novel.
It is, after all, educational.
Because the story – which focuses on a young girl's globe-trotting treasure hunt – was written for young readers, Hicks said he felt obligated to slip in a few facts under the radar.
"It's true," he said with a laugh. "They'll finish knowing where Shakespeare was born and where he was buried. They'll know there is a curse on his tomb. And if you think this one is sneaky, wait 'til the next one."
Hicks, who in his day job is the inspector general for the state of Georgia, signed a two-book deal with Houghton Mifflin Harcourt. His second book, Tower of the Five Orders, is expected in Fall 2013.
Hicks said he felt it was important to place his heroine, the bookish Colophon Letterford, in real settings. He said it offers both his readers and himself, as a writer, a foundation of believability that anchors the book's intellectual puzzles and broad comedy. Part of that meant basing specific scenes in and around Manchester and Warm Springs, Ga., and in historical locations in England. He came up with the idea while traveling in Wales with his father.
"We stopped at a castle in Wales and I was sitting in this narrow window built for archers," he said. "And I started thinking about how someone had looked out that same window hundreds of years before.
''It connected me."
He said that theme of history and connection is an important element in his Letterford mysteries.
He admitted that much of what is important to Colophon comes from lessons instilled in him by his own parents. His father, Ray Hicks, is a retired principal of Evans High School and former Columbia County school board member, and Hicks said many of his early memories are academic in nature.
"My whole life was lived at that high school," he said. "I spent every weekend in that library, as geeky as that may sound. Education was a very big part of my life. My mother was involved. My father was involved. It's the way I grew up."
Educated as a painter and later a lawyer, Hicks never had literary aspirations. He said he made a New Year's resolution in January 2010 to send his novel to publishers. It took him until December that year to do it.
"It was scary," he admitted. "And now, having it published, it's surreal. This is something I had no expectations for and now, well, now it's real."
Hicks said he hopes the books are successful enough to fund the occasional trip back to England.
"For research," he said.

Liverpool Place Huge Bet On Andy Carroll
Newcastle United predictably sold their biggest asset yesterday and owner Mike Ashley would be delighted to have achieved a fee of £35M for the 22 year old target man .
Carroll has been in great form for the Magpies this season and was linked with a £22M move to Spurs before Christmas . He has supposedly been injured most of January but was certainly fit enough to pass a medical at Liverpool FC last night and his move does not reflect well on Newcastle manager Alan Pardew who has insisted from the day he took over in early December that the England striker would not be sold .
Bookmakers have reacted by cutting the odds on Newcastle been relegated this season as they face the remainder of the season without their talisman .
For Liverpool the signing of Carroll represents a desperate attempt to turn their season around and still qualify for European football next season . Having sold the mis-firing Fernando Torres for £50M , Liverpool have re-invested all of the money on Carroll and Luis Suarez and apparently had a £14M offer for Blackpool's Charlie Adams turned down .
Carroll often made the news for the wrong reasons in 2010 . The new Liverpool striker was charged with assaulting his girlfriend , admitted glassing a drinker in a Newcastle nightclub and had his Range Rover torched whilst staying at club captain Kevin Nolans house in an eventful few months .
Carroll will be looking to add to his tally of 11 premier league goals this season and could make his Liverpool debut away to Chelsea this Sunday . At odds of 28/1 with Irish bookie Paddy Power to be top Premier League scorer this season , Carroll is decent each way value as 1/5 odds 1-2-3 still pays over 5/1 for a place . Carroll is currently third , with 1 goal more than Didier Drogba .
Ladbrokes offer odds of 5/6 that Carroll scores over 5.5 goals in the remainder of what should be a fascinating season .

Most of their economic activities were farming, fishing, and hunting by the use of pipe guns and bamboo traps, these are talks of the Vietnamese Villageneighborhood. The Palawan aborigines had a dialect consisting of 18 syllables called the Majapahit Empire, the Indonesians 13th century, and they brought with them Hinduism and Buddhism. The Sultanate of Borneo was almost in control of the southern portions of the island because of Palawan's proximity to Borneo. Then Islam was introduced after more than two centuries.

If you watched anime back in the 90's you probably were at least a little familiar with MAPS (which has one of the most hype openings ever) and the OVA adaptation of Tekken, both released by now-defunct hometown heroes ADV Films. Claire Hamilton played major roles in both of those shows as well as other popular ADV releases from that time period such as Soul Hunter, Adventures of Kotetsu and the Sakura Taisen OVA. She most recently appeared in Sentai Filmworks's release of Rurouni Kenshin's New Kyoto Arc as Yumi Komogata along with playing Zatanna, Huntress, Jinx, and other roles in Sony Online Entertainment's DC Universe Online MMORPG. She also played the title character in the point-and click adventure Angelica Weaver: Catch Me When You Can and she'll be at Comicpalooza next weekend to meet with fans and host some amazing sounding panels which you can read about more in this super rad interview I did with her a few days ago.
SCN: So I really don't even know where to start… What are you excited to see at Comicpalooza?
CH: I cannot wait to meet Nichelle Nichols! She's my hero since I was liiiiiiiiiiittle, I love her. John Barrowman, I mean, I'm sure everyone's talking about, you know, John, John, our buddy John. So many Doctors you can't even count 'em this time, there's a ton of really good stuff going on.
SCN: Yeah, it's going to be really good. Oh man. Also, I was looking through… ah, one of the main reasons I wanted to interview you was because you did a bunch of 90's ADV stuff and that's what I grew up on and it's such a big part of, well, it's not as big of a part of local nerd history as it should be, I feel it's highly overlooked in the grand scheme of things but man, like the list of stuff you were in, MAPS was one of my all time favorites.
CH: You're kidding! (laughs) That was the first one I ever did! So we had a uhm… so they brought in, uhm, it was a cattle call. Usually for voice work you audition by yourself in a booth or with two or three other people in a booth; it's very different than on camera, the audition process used to be anyway, everything's changed so much but that was one of the few cattle call auditions for voice work ever and, I mean, all of Austin TX was there. They opened the satellite studio Monster Island Studios here in Austin and we all went in and they basically taught us what they, you know, they were seeing if we could match the lip flaps and stay in character and pause and breathe at the right time and still have it sound natural. It was insane, I had no idea that's how it was done, I had no idea anybody ever did that, and then afterwards I had seen a couple of really bad dubs so I didn't tell anybody that I did this, but my first one was MAPS and it was crazy to get a lead and have to develop a character that you'd sustain through a whole series so it was fun. It was super fun. And it was MAPS, actually, somebody a few years ago, I finally decided to Google myself… (laughs) somebody had been looking for me to be on some panel and I was like wait, there's people who want to talk about this? People care? Oh my god! That was for some con in Ohio or something, I dunno, and it was passed already by the time I found it but that was how I discovered cons too so MAPS was a great introduction for me.
SCN: That's super cool, yeah, I remember being a kid in Blockbuster Video and that was one of the more prominently displayed animes back in the day of VHS.
CH: Well, the second one especially because of her tape outfit. You know, there was a girl for a while who was cosplaying that second tape outfit and she was amazing too.
SCN: Oh wow.
CH: She made it work, it took some engineering to be able to wear that in real life and she did a good job.
SCN: I can imagine, oh man. There's some other stuff you did, Tekken: The Motion Picture, can we talk about that one?
(both laugh)
CH: Oh my goodness, so, I'm actually doing a panel at Comicpalooza called "Death Screams 101″ where we kinda talk about fighting and dying with your voice and all the stuff you have to do. You don't have your body, you know, you have to stay the right distance from the microphone the whole time and yet you're doing all this stuff so we kinda actually go through vocal excercises and all the fun stuff, but I always start that panel by, uhm, I collect screams, I love those screams, there's one scream from MAPS that I'm really super proud of and the scream where I die in the end of MAPS. I hope I'm not giving anything away… well, not MAPS, but in Tekken, when I get eaten by a surprise ghost dinosaur. That was a really fun scream (laughs). That was a hilarious show, from my end of it anyway.
SCN: What time is your panel, the Death Screaming one?
CH: I don't have my schedule yet! I'm doing a bunch of panels this time because it's been expanded to four days. It's kinda cool. I usually have like, you know, I'll do a couple of panels at this kind of con and then different panels at that kind of con, but it's kinda neat, I get to do a whole bunch of them at this one so we're doing the Death Screams, I'm doing an origami one, I'm doing the tentacle one, everybody loved that last year so I'm bringing that one back. That one was PACKED! I was shocked, I have a friend who I bring with me to help and he was running back and forth and the panel sitter was too. There was so many people, it was really fun. Everyone made cool tentacle jewelry things and it was great. So yeah, we're doing a bunch of little chic geek craft jewelry type stuff and some Q&As, that kind of stuff. It should be good, I usually find out my schedule the day I arrive so…
SCN: Oh man, that keeps things interesting though, I'm sure.
CH: Yes, I just show up with lots of big boxes full of supplies and hope for the best so it should work out. I love Comicpalooza so much. This is going to be my 3rd time to go, I've only been twice. The tentacle panel last year was up against Sir Patrick Stewart, I was so excited to see him, I was SO excited to go to his panel, but then it was like "oh whoops, I can't". I did get to have a quick little fawning over him for a moment in the back though so that was kind of awesome, he was amazing. He was very gracious, he was an amazing guest there.
SCN: Yeah, it was crazy that they got him, I remembered they announced it and so many of my friends went nuts.
CH: I know! And then my first year there it was George Takei!
CH: I was sooooooo tongue-tied when I met him. (laughs) I was like "Thank you for all your work on behalf of the LGBT community!" and I was just on and on and on, I felt like such an idiot!
SCN: Yeah, I can't imagine any other way to react to meeting him in real life though.
CH: Everybody was all over him the whole time. He was so gracious and easy-going and so was Stewart! We'd been told not to shake hands with him because he's got arthritis in his hand, you don't want to hurt him, so I was keeping my hands underneath me so I wouldn't forget and try to shake his hand. And then he reached out! He reached out, he was so gracious with everyone! Last year's lineup was really good, Armand Shimerman was there, I go a little nutty for the Trek folks.
SCN: I remember last year they had Danny Trejo and my fiance actually, she was cosplaying a splicer from Bioshock so she had that mask on so she couldn't see and she almost like, we were walking around the artist's alley and she almost ran full bore into him. (laughing) He's a really tiny man and she's a pretty tall lady, like she's got about six or seven inches on me AND she was in heels and almost ran straight into Danny Trejo and I was so starstruck that I couldn't say anything until afterwards.
CH: You were going to let her mow-down Machete! (laughs) That's terrible! Yeah, he was really good, my boyfriend was trying to get him to do this thing, we did a few pictures where I was having people squish my head, you know, with shortening with the camera, so he was trying to get him to squish my head in a picture. (laughs) It didn't quite work out and I was like "you are not going back to ask him to do that differently, no directing Danny Trejo!".
SCN: Yeah, he was a really intimidating dude, he had his family all there and they looked like a posse all wandering around, it was so cool, actually seeing him in real life was nuts.
CH: Yes. It was incredible, but I think my favorite image of him ever was… he was so good in Breaking Bad.
CH: He plays everything so low-key, he keeps it all just really tight and controlled and he's so powerful and then you see him in person and he does that sweet smile and you're just like "oh, you really are a good actor".
SCN: Yeah, he's super cool.
CH: So who are you excited to see?
SCN: Oh man, uh, god, there are so many. The big one is Veronica Taylor, who did Ash in Pokemon.
CH: Oh, I looooove her! I got to meet her the first year! Oh she's great! She's done so much stuff too, I mean, she's got a huge resume. She's really good. When I met her I called my son to tell him I met the voice of Ash from Pokemon and my son was like "Which Ash was it?" (laughs) I told him and he was like "Oh thank god, oh that's so cool!" and went all nuts about it but first he had to know which one. He didn't like the other one, he only liked her.
SCN: Yeah, the other one, I don't even know who did that voice but I feel bad for them because of all the fan complaints and everything. It wasn't even like they did a bad job, it was just different from what people were used to.
CH: It's just different, yeah. I used to teach a looooong time ago and I remember the first time I came to school and like my contacts were messed up or something and I came to school wearing glasses and all my students were like "Miss! Is that you Miss! What happened?! What's wrong?! Why are you wearing glasses?!". You get used to something being a certain way but boy, they couldn't take that, they couldn't stand something different.
SCN: What did you teach?
CH: I actually taught in Houston for a couple years in the Heights area. It was at an elementary school, we were putting in an arts program, an Integrated Arts program. We did Media Literacy and all kinds of stuff. I had my kindergardeners doing stop-motion animation, we had so much fun. It was a really fun couple of years in there. It was good, we had a great principal whose whole goal was to make sure those kids were happy. He knew that they would learn if they were happy. Teachers that were not, you know, the cranky ones? He'd set them straight, "don't be cranky with mah kids, make em happy", cool school.
SCN: That's really neat. So you mostly do your voice acting out of Austin, then?
CH: Yeah, I live here, I moved here in the mid-90's. When I moved here I quit doing on-camera work completely. It was a good change for me, you know, you don't have to have a huge wardrobe anymore, you don't have to drive everywhere for every audition, well, back then I only had to drive to one place, my agent's office, and once we all got good decent technology we could do it from home. Much easier than the on-camera in the audition sense except you're directing yourself which is a whole other thing. You gotta balance spending hours getting just the right take and just the right inflection against the fact that you're probably not going to get it anyway. It's like that, I sorta look at every audition as a free workshop.
SCN: Cool. What else… DC Universe Online. How's that one going? I know they're cranking out new content for it, are you doing any of that? Do you have to go back to do new stuff after the initial recording? How does that work?
CH: Everytime they add a new world you get to do more stuff. The last one I really got to add to was… so I do Zatanna and Huntress, those are sort of like the main characters and generally there's something to add to those, but then we added Jinx, which was so much fun, and the other one was the ghost of Martha Wayne.
SCN: (uncontrollable laughing)
CH: You get to punch the ghost of Martha Wayne in the game.
SCN: Oh wow.
CH: That's pretty fun.
SCN: How do they even set that up, I mean, what is the context of that? That's so bizarre.
CH: Yeah, well, I only found out later long after we had recorded it from someone who was playing the game. Apparently once they're in that ghost world they're not your friends anymore so that's why you wind up punching the ghost of Martha Wayne (laughing). And it was somebody different who did the voice of LIVE Martha Wayne. I can't remember who it was, somebody told me but I can't remember who it was.
SCN: I might actually have to play that now. That sounds really ridiculous.
CH: Yeah, there's some good stuff in there, they really keep that hopping and man, AMAZING voice talent because they have a lot of celebrity voice talent in that game, some really good people.
There is still no word as to when Claire's panels will be held at Comicpalooza but we will update this article when we find out. You can find her official Facebook fanpage here and if you feel like beating up Batman's dead mom you can play the Windows version of DC Universe Online for free here.

Do you need permission to sell licenses for photos of people?
In general, you may photograph people in public. The use of those photographs can be restricted due to state privacy laws, often called the "right of publicity" or "misappropriation." While the specifics of these laws vary by state, they prevent the unauthorized use of a person's likeness for commercial purposes (such as on merchandise or for advertising or trade). The laws do not apply if the image is used editorially, which includes newsworthy items and fine art. See my September 14, 2005, blog entry for a summary of the different privacy rights.
In the recent case of Maloney v. T3 Media, Inc., former student-athletes Patrick Maloney and Tim Judge alleged that T3Media had unlawfully exploited their likenesses commercially by selling licenses for photographs for "non-commercial art" purposes.
On appeal, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit noted that the Copyright Act affords copyright owners the "exclusive rights" to display, perform, reproduce, or distribute copies of a copyrighted work, to authorize others to do those things, and to prepare derivative works based upon the copyrighted work. 17 U.S.C. § 106. In other words, the copyright in a photo gives the owner "the right to control the work," including the power to to make the work available to the public.
Section 301 of the Copyright Act works "to preempt and abolish any rights under the common law or statutes of a State that are equivalent to copyright and that extend to works," so long as the rights fall "within the scope of the Federal copyright law." H.R. Rep. No. 94-1476, at 130 (1976). That is, copyright law (which is federal law) will preempt or override a conflicting state law.
After an extensive two-part analysis, the Court held that the Copyright Act preempted the plaintiff's state-based right-of-privacy claims "when a likeness has been captured in a copyrighted artistic visual work and the work itself is being distributed for personal use." That means that T3 did not violate the athletes' rights of privacy when selling licenses for photos of the players for editorial use, even if T3 made money from the licenses. The criterion is the end-user's use of the licensed photos.
On the other hand, the Court noted that a right of publicity claim is not preempted when someone's name or likeness is used without consent on merchandise or in advertising. That would be a "commercial" use requiring the person's permission, such as through a model release. Since Maloney and Judge never alleged that their names or likenesses were in connection with the sale of merchandise or in advertising, it wasn't an issue.
For a more detail analysis of the case, check Rebecca Tushnet's blog entry.
What does this mean for photographers? Make sure that you have a model release before using a person's photograph commercially. In this case, though, consent wasn't needed because the photos were being licensed only for non-commercial/editorial use.Check Photo Attorney on Lynda.com, in the Lynda.com Article Center, and on Twitter!

Wi-Fi and the Smart Home
The term "Smart Home" usually refers to a modern home with appliances and other electronic devices that are controlled remotely. With today's technology, all the appliances in a home are technically able to be connected to the internet. The home owner can also control these appliances via mobile apps, as a smart home has all the advanced automation systems installed in them. This system provides the owner with sophisticated monitoring and control over the home environment. Technologies are applied in the whole home but it mainly focuses on the kitchen and living room. Researchers say that soon bathroom products will also use automation technologies. Toilets or shower heads will have automaton systems in them. Technology development is still in its initial stages, but we're already seeing these home automation technologies making significant changes in our lives.
Current State
Smart home appliances include several devices such as refrigerators, washing machines, toasters, ovens and all the other electronic devices. Some additional examples are audio and video entertainment systems, computers, laptops, and mobile devices. The owner can also configure time schedules for smart home enabled devices. These devices not only add convenience but can also potentially help with time saving. And they provide the home owner with intelligent feedback of the status of their home. Climate control, LED lights, smart locks and different types of cameras can all be added in your smart home. They will help you to have control of your home even if you are far away.
Let's take an example of a refrigerator, it is able to catalogue its content, suggest a variety of menus and also recommend healthy food for the owner. Sometimes it happens that you want to have a snack but you are too lazy to get one for yourself. In this case, you can ask the refrigerator to suggest and prepare a menu. Not only will it do this, but the refrigerator also asks the oven to prepare the selected dish for you. We will also see advanced microwaves in future. They will be able to communicate with the refrigerator for cooking and deciding on your menu.
Now we can see many new homes have built in wiring features. These wirings are used to control and run the advanced home automation systems. Smart home appliances have changed the way of our living. It has provided us with exciting opportunities to live and work. Such connected appliances have reduced the cost and consumption of energy. In the future, almost all appliances will be smart – as an example LG is adding connectivity to all new devices from 2017.
Major market players
There are number of connected appliances in the market. Are you ready to make your home a smart one? The easiest way to make your home a smart home is by adding smart appliances. Let's take a review to some home automation devices. One of the major smart home devices is the smart lock. It helps the owner to unlock your home door from your phone. It also gives temporary passes to other. All these appliances together will give you full control on your home remotely. It helps you to run your home in an efficient manner. Another exciting application is the Nest thermostat. It learns how you to keep the temperature of your home. When you leave, the home is going into away mode. It has proved very useful in reducing the electricity bills. And it uses a motion sensor to adjust the temperature of the home automatically.
Goji is another advanced device. Its work on Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connection. This device is used to send the pictures of the visitors at your door. It records all the activities that have taken place when you are not around. It also gives visitors temporary access to the home based on your settings in the smart phone app.
New entrants
Samsung's Smart Things is another group of smart home products. If you have many home appliances you will definitely need a central system to control and integrate them. Smart Thing is used to handle many functions of your home remotely. It can turn the lights on and off. It can automatically adjust the temperature according to the climate. And the best thing about Smart Things is that with a single push it can update settings and make changes to the home environment.
Have you ever thought about a device that can alert you about the condition of your home in your absence? Ninja Sphere reports back to you every detail through your smart phone and television. If you are missing any activity it will make sure to inform you immediately.
In the near future for smart products we expect to see toilets, showers and kitchen appliances coming online. It is expected that showers will have some built in function in them. They will store the profile of all individuals and adjust the temperature accordingly. People will no longer have to fidget with the temperature settings. With a smart home the lives of people will not only become more efficient but their household tasks will become automated. They will no longer have to get groceries home. The food will be ready before they even reach home!

I am looking at mills and learning Fusion 360 at the same time. I am torn between the PM 727 and converting it later and just buying a PM45 CNC. Are you saving a lot by doing the conversion yourself?

Getting a jump on the outdoor festival music calendar, Jimmy Barrett hosted the AcoustiCountry Fest at his River Street Beat Shop in Troy last Saturday afternoon, and let's face it, you couldn't have asked for better weather – nice and warm, not too windy and lots and lots of sun.
A fundraiser for the Hope 7 Community Center food bank and after-school program, the fest was a fine way to unwind on a lazy spring afternoon. And, of course, there was plenty of great music to soak up – along with the sunshine.

It's better than anything I can do, but one teeny-tiny comment? Shouldn't each police car have a different number on its roof? I thought they were supposed to be identifiers of the officers inside, to airborne police? Picky, picky, picky, but trying to be helpful.
Hey, great scene callum5! I love the great POV, and the story behind it(I'm the nosy neighbor across the street enjoying the view, I just hope I don't get caught by these two!)Other than the police car I.D. numbers this is perfect. Another cool scene hopefully followed by others.
It's here that I know that I don't understand very well English....it's a pity, because your story semm interesting (and funny) about the Renderosity community...pffff.....sigh..... Although it's it, this is another very beautiful work and, again, so charming attention:):)

November 2015 - Independence of the Seas to Caribbean - Western
It was a very nice ship, huge space to move and walk, including many different restaurants and places for drinks and enjoyment. Everything was clean. Great style along the ship. Very organized. All different type of shows, ice skating, singing, comedy, dance, very complete. The food was very good too and service excellent. It was like living in a moving city on the water. Great time we had on the ship.

Ah, in that case:

Placeholders and bind-values are what you should be using. They would prevent the possibility of an SQL injection attack. Even if the semicolon isn't the issue, there are other things user-supplied input could do when interpolated into the middle of an SQL statement. But placeholders eliminate the interpolation, and overcome that issue. While you might not be able to construct an attack with a semicolon, I wouldn't be too confident that you've eliminated all attack vectors. At least with placeholders you can cross the SQL injection attack off the list.

Is the ending of the novel Tess of the d'Urbervilles justified?
- print Print
- list Cite
The main character Tess, of course, is certainly a dynamic character. The novel is not only a bildungsroman, which emphasizes the rites of passage that each one of us makes during our youth, but it is the story of a young girl who must grow up and face life without much guidance in her life. Tess goes through so much hardship on her own at such a young age that she was bound to break down sooner or later. In the novel's case, she breaks at the climax of the story and murders a man who tormented her for years. Murder is not right, but any abused woman can certainly empathize with her plight. Tess is hanged for her murderous deed, so yes, the ending is justified; she is punished for killing Alec. If the question, however, is if Tess herself was justified when she killed Alec, the answer would be "no" in the real world. On the other hand, for the 18th century soap opera that it was for its time, the answer would be "yes!" Tess did have a right to kill a man who terrorized her during a time when women had no where to turn for legal or social protection. Any woman who has been terrorized in like manner would certainly champion Tess in her heart.

Happy Halloween!
Here are some fun Halloween facts for you all:
- Four-in-ten (41%) adults admit that they sneak sweets from their own candy bowl.
- On Halloween night, the majority (52%) of those providing treats to costumed kiddies will be passing out chocolate, while three‐in‐ten will drop hard candy or lollipops into the sacks.
- 62% of adults will be handing out candy because "it's a personal favorite" or it's a household tradition (55%)
- 43% of grown-up celebrants cite costumes as one of the most indispensable parts of the holiday.
- About 26% of households will include full-size candy (chocolate and non-chocolate) in their Halloween activities.
- 90% of parents admit to sneaking goodies from their kids' Halloween trick-or-treat bags.
We were supposed to have trick-or-treat night tonight and it would have been the first time (in forever) that trick-or-treat night actually feel on the official holiday, but due to the aftermath of the hurricane, it has been postponed until this Saturday. Boo!
I did buy a bag of candy last week but it looks like it won't be going to any little ghosts and goblins this year since we won't be around this weekend to hand any of it out. More for us!
I haven't done a "What I Ate Wednesday" post in a very long time and seeing as it's the end of the month, I'm a little late on the theme for October, Spooky Snacks and Healthy Halloween Treats.
I'm not even really sure what that means but here it goes…..
Always beginning with coffee. Don't let the cup fool you, this was one 8oz but I'm pretty sure I could have downed 20 this morning if given the chance.
- Chobani Vanilla
- Banana
- Blackberries
- Apple Carrot Raisin Muffin (1/2 of one crumbled)
- Sunbutter
- Chia
I had to head into the gym this afternoon to see some schedule clients and on my way there, I stopped at the much to convenient Starbucks that sits directly beside the facility. Have I told you how much I hate that the Starbucks is in direct route to work. I think I've stopped there 9/10 times and I don't plan on stopping anytime soon.
- Small bold with a few dashes of cinnamon
I brought my lunch into work with me and ate at my desk in between appointments.
- Egg Whites with spinach on a Thomas's Pumpkin Spice English Muffin with pumpkin butter and laughing cow cheese
- Grapes
I haven't done this sweet n' savory egg sandwich in so long! I once went through a period where I would eat these almost every single day and think I burned myself out. Over a year later, they are back and better than ever!
Later on in the afternoon, I snacked on a honeycrisp and a handful of almonds to keep me going until dinner.
Once I got home, I finished up a few work (blog) related items and then got to work on dinner.
- Almond crusted tilapia
- Green beans
- Salad with mandarin oranges, avocado, feta and hemp seeds
Not sure what dessert will be but the Edy's slow-churned pumpkin ice cream sitting in my freezer looking pretty darn promising.
Hope you all enjoyed a wonderful Halloween full of endless treats!
What is your favorite Halloween candy? – Mine is milky ways. I used to talk my sister into trading all of her snickers for her milky ways and ended fully stocked with them for the entire year.

Commonly used brand name(s)
In the U.S.
- Xiaflex
Available Dosage Forms:
- Powder for Solution
Therapeutic Class: Tissue Permeability Modifier
Pharmacologic Class: Collagenase
Uses For collagenase clostridium histolyticum
Collagenase clostridium histolyticum injection is used to treat Dupuytren's contracture with a palpable cord. It is also used to treat Peyronie's disease with a palpable plaque and curvature deformity in men.
collagenase clostridium histolyticum is to be given only by or under the supervision of your doctor.
Before Using collagenase clostridium histolyticum
In deciding to use a medicine, the risks of taking the medicine must be weighed against the good it will do. This is a decision you and your doctor will make. For collagenase clostridium histolyticum, the following should be considered:
Tell your doctor if you have ever had any unusual or allergic reaction to collagenase clostridium histolyticum or any other medicines. Also tell your health care professional if you have any other types of allergies, such as to foods, dyes, preservatives, or animals. For non-prescription products, read the label or package ingredients carefully.
Appropriate studies have not been performed on the relationship of age to the effects of collagenase clostridium histolyticum injection in the pediatric population. Safety and efficacy have not been established.
Appropriate studies performed to date have not demonstrated geriatric-specific problems that would limit the usefulness of collagenase clostridium histolyticum injection in the elderly.
Interactions with Medicines
Although certain medicines should not be used together at all, in other cases two different medicines may be used together even if an interaction might occur. In these cases, your doctor may want to change the dose, or other precautions may be necessary. Tell your healthcare professional if you are taking any other prescription or nonprescription (over-the-counter [OTC]) medicine.
Interactions with Food/Tobacco/Alcohol
Certain medicines should not be used at or around the time of eating food or eating certain types of food since interactions may occur. Using alcohol or tobacco with certain medicines may also cause interactions to occur. Discuss with your healthcare professional the use of your medicine with food, alcohol, or tobacco.
Other Medical Problems
The presence of other medical problems may affect the use of collagenase clostridium histolyticum. Make sure you tell your doctor if you have any other medical problems, especially:
- Blood clotting disorders—Use with caution. May make these conditions worse.
- Peyronie's plaque in the penile urethra—Should not be used in patients with this condition.
Proper Use of collagenase clostridium histolyticum
A nurse or other trained health professional will give you collagenase clostridium histolyticum in a hospital. collagenase clostridium histolyticum is given through a needle placed into the cord that is causing your finger to bend or into the plaque that is causing your penis to curve.
collagenase clostridium histolyticum should come with a Medication Guide. Read and follow these instructions carefully. Ask your doctor if you have any questions.
If you are receiving collagenase clostridium histolyticum for Dupuytren's contracture:
- Your affected hand will be wrapped with a bandage after receiving the injection. Avoid moving and using your treated finger.
- Your doctor may give you 2 injections if you have more than one contracture in the same hand.
- It is very important that you return to your doctor 1 to 3 days after receiving the injection. This will allow your doctor to see the injected hand, and to do a possible finger extension procedure to disrupt the cord.
- It is very important that you elevate the fingers of the injected hand until bedtime to prevent swelling. Do not try to move or massage the cord, bend, or extend the fingers of the injected hand, or do heavy activity using your hand to prevent more injury.
- Your doctor may put a splint on your hand after giving collagenase clostridium histolyticum. Wear the splint at bedtime for up to 4 months. Do finger bending and extending exercises as instructed by your doctor.
If you are receiving collagenase clostridium histolyticum for Peyronie's disease:
- collagenase clostridium histolyticum is available only through a restricted program called Xiaflex® REMS Program. Doctors who are enrolled in the restricted program can write a prescription for collagenase clostridium histolyticum.
- Your penis may be wrapped with a bandage after receiving the injection. Your doctor will tell you when to take the bandage off.
- collagenase clostridium histolyticum is given as part of a treatment cycle. In a treatment cycle, you will receive an injection followed by a second injection 1 to 3 days later.
- It is very important that you return to your doctor 1 to 3 days after your second injection. This will allow your doctor to do a manual procedure to stretch and help straighten your penis.
- Do not have sexual intercourse or have any sexual activity between the first and second injections of a treatment cycle, and for at least 2 weeks after the second injection of a treatment cycle and after pain and swelling has gone away.
Precautions While Using collagenase clostridium histolyticum
It is very important that your doctor check your progress at regular visits to make sure collagenase clostridium histolyticum is working properly and to check for unwanted effects.
If you are receiving collagenase clostridium histolyticum for Dupuytren's contracture:

- collagenase clostridium histolyticum may cause infection. Tell your doctor right away if you have a fever, chills, or increasing redness or swelling of your hand.
If you are receiving collagenase clostridium histolyticum for Peyronie's disease:
- collagenase clostridium histolyticum may cause penile fracture (corporal fracture) or other serious injury to the penis. It may damage the tubes in your penis (corpora) during erection after receiving collagenase clostridium histolyticum. Call your doctor right away if you have the following symptoms: a popping sound or sensation in an erect penis, sudden loss of the ability to maintain an erection, bruising, swelling, or pain in your penis, trouble urinating or blood in your urine.
- You may take over-the-counter (OTC) pain medicines if you have mild to moderate pain in your penis.

Views Filter Harmonizer solves an operational foible with the Views module regarding filtering.
Normally, when a Views field has been assigned both an exposed filter and a contextual filter, then both filters get applied to the View's results set -- always. This is not configurable behaviour. It's hard-coded.
As a consequence, contradictory search clauses easily occur, causing a counter-intuitive user experience with some White Screens of Disillusionment. Since the contextual filter sets the "bounds" for the page, any filtering by the visitor through the exposed filter on that page can only narrow down the results set, not broaden it. In other words the exposed filter appears not to be working properly.
This small module allows you to have a contextual filter argument apply only when there is no corresponding regular (exposed) filter value present.
This is most common on initial page load. After that the contextual filters will silently retreat and let the exposed filter values as selected by the visitor do their thing without interfering.
This means that you can take advantage of friendly URLs using contextual arguments instead of ugly and verbose query parameters. Put the URLs anywhere on your site, in emails and in newsletters to take visitors to tailored Views pages. Having arrived there, visitors may then further filter these pages to their heart's content using the View's regular filters you exposed.
And they won't experience any odd behaviour.
Hands on: the problem and the solution in 60 seconds
You can do this on your own test site or you can click Try out a demonstration and press "Launch sandbox" to simplytest the latest version of Views Filter Harmonizer live online.
Let's go through a simple scenario.
- Login as administrator
- Create two pieces of content of type Article. For the first, type the tag name "blue", for the other enter the tag "red".
We'll demonstrate Views' confusing default behaviour first, using a View that is already on your system.
- Check the Views UI submodule is enabled while Views Filter Harmonizer isn't yet.
- At admin/structure/views, enable the canned View named Taxonomy term and edit it.
- Under Filter Criteria click Add and tick the box Content: Has taxonomy terms (with depth). This is the counterpart to the contextual filter that already exists on this View. Click Apply
- On the next panel, tick the Tags vocabulary, Dropdown and Apply.
- Then tick Expose this filter to visitors and press Is one of. Apply and Save the View.
- Visit /taxonomy/term/1, where we assume that 1 is the id of the "blue" term (Article tag)
- You'll see your "blue" article as expected.
- Switch the colour drop-down to "red" and press Apply.
- Duh? No output? That's right. That's default Views behaviour for you. You are filtering on all content that is both "blue" (via the contextual filter) and "red" (via the exposed filter). Confusing and not what we want is it?
So now, for some much needed relief, enable Views Filter Harmonizer.
- If you do not wish to see any informational/debug messages, visit People > Permissions and untick at the bottom of the page the box titled View info/debug messages.
- Revisit the Views UI and after clicking the regular filter name under Filter Criteria tick the box Override the companion contextual filter.
- Revisit /taxonomy/term/1, viewing the "blue" article as before. Notice also that the drop-down has been updated to reflect the contextual filter value.
- Switch the colour drop-down to "red" and voila: we see "red", as expected. And.... if you tick the extra configuration option, the browser address bar will be updated to reflect the new filter selection, without an extra reload of the page :-)
- Switch to "- Any -" and see both red and blue, as expected.
Refer to the README for notes on the use of this module with Views displayed in blocks.
Works great with:
