At the Rink: Sharks at Oilersby Derek Van Diest
EDMONTON -- Three players will be making their NHL debuts at Rexall Place on Thursday when the Edmonton Oilers host the San Jose Sharks (9:30 p.m. ET; SN360, CSN-CA PLUS).
Oilers goaltender Laurent Brossoit will get his first NHL start and forward Curtis Hamilton will also be in the lineup.
Sharks forward Bryan Lerg, 29, will play his first NHL game after 353 minor-league games.
Edmonton (24-43-13) and San Jose (39-32-9) are each out of contention for the Stanley Cup Playoffs.
"I'm ready to roll," Lerg said. "[Edmonton] is the team I signed with out of college as a free agent. I did training camp here and then I was down in [the American Hockey League]. I played a preseason game in this building against Calgary. I've been here once before, which is nice, and I'm really excited to play tonight."
Lerg signed with the Oilers after graduating from Michigan State University in 2008 and spent two years in the organization.
"It's been a very long road, but you have to keep positive and stick with it," Lerg said. "I fought some injuries in the last few years, but you just have to keep positive, that's the main thing. A lot of it is mental and you have to just stick to the grind, keep doing the right thing. I'm a firm believer that if you keep doing the right things, eventually you will be rewarded."
Brossoit, 22, is also familiar with Rexall Place. He played three seasons with the Edmonton Oil Kings of the Western Hockey League, backstopping them to a Memorial Cup appearance in 2013.
"It feels good to get the start tonight, it's obviously not something I've done before, so there are a lot of new emotions and I'm just excited," Brossoit said. "Coming into a situation like this, this can be pretty intimidating for anyone going into their first start, but familiar territory with the building, the room, the guys, it definitely makes it a lot easier."
Brossoit is 22-21-4 with a 2.65 goals-against average and .916 save percentage for Oklahoma City of the AHL. He has started the past 25 games for the Barons.
"It's a lot of games, but at the same time, it's something that I am used to," Brossoit said. "I played a lot in junior with the Oil Kings so it wasn't something that was completely new."
Hamilton, 23, was selected by the Oilers with the 48th pick in the 2010 NHL Draft. He has 12 goals and 17 assists in 60 games with the Barons this season.
"I'm really looking forward to this, it's a good opportunity for me here, I'm familiar with a lot of guys in this room," Hamilton said. "It makes it a bit more comfortable for me, which is nice."
The Oilers will miss the playoffs for the ninth consecutive season and conclude their regular season at the Vancouver Canucks on Saturday.
San Jose will miss the playoffs for the first time since 2002-2003. The Sharks were officially eliminated from contention Monday.
"For our organization this is a different feeling," Sharks coach Todd McLellan said. "We've been there a lot of years in a row, and we're not there now. We're trying to figure out how to behave the last few days. We want to play well, we want to come here and win. But the feeling is certainly different and it's not something we're accustomed to."
Goaltender Antti Niemi will start for San Jose.
Here are the projected lineups:
Melker Karlsson - Joe Thornton - Joe Pavelski
Patrick Marleau - Logan Couture – Tomas Hertl
Matt Nieto - Chris Tierney - Tommy Wingels
John Scott - Ben Smith - Bryan Lerg
Scratched: Mike Brown
Injured: Raffi Torres (knee), Mirco Mueller (left hand), Marc-Edouard Vlasic (lower body), Scott Hannan (head)
Benoit Pouliot – Taylor Hall - Jordan Eberle
Teddy Purcell - Derek Roy – Nail Yakupov
Matt Fraser – Anton Lander – Tyler Pitlick
Curtis Hamilton – Rob Klinkhammer - Luke Gazdic
Oscar Klefbom - Justin Schultz
Keith Aulie – Brandon Davidson
Scratched: None
Injured: Viktor Fasth (knee), Iiro Pakarinen (knee), Andrew Ference (upper body), Mark Fayne (shoulder), Boyd Gordon (back), Nikita Nikitin (foot), Matt Hendricks (lower body), Ryan Nugent-Hopkins (foot)
Status report: Nugent-Hopkins is not likely to return before the end of season. … Oilers goaltender Richard Bachman was reassigned to Oklahoma City on Monday to make room for Brossoit. … Sharks forward Barclay Goodrow was reassigned to Worcester of the AHL to make room for Lerg.
Who's hot: Thornton has two goals in his past two games … Tierney has two goals and three assists in his past five games … Lander has three assists in his past three games.

I'm beginning to think that most of this blog is going to be dedicated to recounting the oddities of my work life. Complain if you will, no one's forcing you to be here.
But since you are:
I'm professional. REALLY professional.
I feel like I have to be.
I'm the youngest employee at my company. By just under 10 years at last survey. I got this job almost straight out of college and was essentially seduced away from a similar position from a similar company whose owner thought he'd get to bully me into doing my work AND his for less than our tutors made an hour (but thats another story).
I worked hard for this position, but I know I'm lucky to have a grown-up job with benefits and a 401k when I have friends from my graduating class working at restaurants or movie theaters who are deferring their student loan payments right now.
So I am very careful to always be the picture of a professional HR Director around others.
That being said, since I work from home, I can get away with waking up five minutes before my shift starts, grabbing my company computer, opening our phone system, and making my first call from bed. No one will know.
I do this a lot.
Particularly if I'm working weekends and I'm hungover.
The nice part is that most of what I do is invisible. As long as I can send a business email, or have a neat, coherent, phone interview I can look however I like.
Meetings and web interviews are quite another matter. Turn on the webcam and I have to be on point: hair sleek, flawless makeup, nice blouse. I don't think any of my coworkers have seen me without lipstick and a healthy coat of mascara. I don't gesture with my hands. I don't touch my hair or face. I am pretty as a picture on screen.
From the chest up.
I have done interviews in crop tops that end at my ribs. I've thrown blazers on over bras. Delivery men have given me funny looks when I sign for packages in a flawless silk blouse paired with ratty gray sweat pants. My roommate likes to tell people about how she's seen me put a cardigan on over one of those velcro-closing patterned bathroom towels after a shower.
For all this, the amount of compliments I get on my appearance, and the full points for "professionalism" I'm awarded each time a web interview is scored by Quality Control, I'm an utter fraud.
On the plus side, if you're stressing about an upcoming web interview, that old trick of picturing your interviewer in their underwear will probably come in handy. If they're not rocking the no-pants look they are almost certainly in some truly heinous active-wear.
Sometimes you want to wear stretchy pants.
Its for fun.
Yooooou are welcome!

Here's a great statement from Grace Bonney of design*sponge....
"Keep your head down and keep working. Don't focus on anything but your own work and your own mission; that way, you won't get bogged down in the drama that sometimes hangs around in the design world." I love this. I love her ideas and daily inspiration.
I think it's when I spent many many hours searching through her gallery of before and afters that I discovered the HUGE world of blogging.
Barb at Knack is always an inspiration too, especially this one from the before and afters.
Blog Love's is postponed until tomorrow morning.
Have a good night.

This week has seen the introduction of new rules allowing Google Adwords customers to bid on other peoples trademarks but is anybody doing it?
Initially on Tuesday (the day the policy change was enforced) we saw a large number of adverts for brand name terms but these ads are no longer showing.
We suspect that ads were being triggered by broad match terms and the advertisers didn't intentially target the trademarked terms.
Looking at the search results for brands such as Amazon, BBC, Tesco, Lastminute.com and Asda leaves me puzzled why there are not more competing retailers and affiliates bidding on the terms.
Of course an affiliate of Tesco would not be allowed to bid on "tesco" but they could bid on "asda".
The same applies for "amazon" - why are there no ads for competing book retailers?
Certain payday loan websites seem to be advertising on all the brand name terms but there is a distinct lack of real retailers taking advantage of the new rules.

by Chris Weikel
directed by Mark Finley
Moe Bertran, Tim Dietrich, Jesse May and Patrick Porter
Johnny and Dave have been casually dating until one night Dave turns into a pig—literally. Does this mean it's all over?
Johnny doesn't know how it happened or even why, but thinks it may have to do with a neighbor, Mama Truth, whom he had an argument with. Johnny thinks Mamma Truth put a hex on them. Johnny confides in his best friend, Kyle, who went to graduate school studying fairy tales. Kyle brings Mama Truth, a tranny, over to Johnny's apartment so she can change Dave back, but nothing happens. Mama Truth says that she had nothing to do with it but tells them a Romanian folk tale about an enchanted pig. Johnny is now stuck with Dave in the pig form. They figure out a way to communicate (one snort means no, two snorts mean yes). The situation actually makes them grow much closer and they learn things about each other. Throughout the course of the play, Kyle does research to try to find a way to turn Dave back into a human. Johnny is encouraged by Dave to start drawing again. Eventually Johnny is the one who really goes through the most changes in the story and there is a "happily ever after" in store for the characters.
I really enjoyed Pig Tale a lot. It is a very smart, witty, and funny play. I found myself laughing through most of the show. Chris Weikel wrote a really sweet and honest play. His characters are fully developed and engaging. The story is also refreshing and it doesn't fall into the clichés that gay-themed often do. Mark Finley has done a stellar job directing this piece. The staging feels very organic. I also thought that the set was really great. Ray Klausen has a great eye for detail—for example, Johnny has lived in this apartment for about eight years and in some places the wallpaper is distressed or peeling and that really helps set the environment.
The cast does an amazing job. Patrick Porter is terrific as Johnny, our conflicted protagonist. Porter brings a real honesty to the role and it was nice to see his character develop and mature during the course of the play. Jesse May is amazing as Dave. His transformation from man to pig is very well done. May has a really nice endearing quality about him. May also is able to convey everything he is feeling through changes in his eyes and facial expressions, which was really great. Porter and May have great chemistry which makes their relationship very believable. Tim Dietrich is hysterical as Kyle, Johnny's marijuana-friendly best friend. Moe Bertran is extremely entertaining in his many parts, but Mama Truth was my favorite. The cast works really nicely together and help make the outcome really truthful.
Pig Tale is a really fun and endearing play. The characters are very relatable and the story touches upon a lot of the struggles that people in relationships go through. It is definitely worth the trip to the Wings Theater to see. I look forward to Wiekel's and Finley's future endeavors together. — Roger Nasser, nytheater.com
Let's face it: Men are pigs — and frankly, some of us have dated more than our fair share of oinkers. But none of us has been as bad off as poor Johnny Lovejoy when his long-term trick, Dave, transforms into an honest-to-goodness pig in Chris Weikel's charming queer confection Pig Tale: An Urban Faerie Story. Whether it's the snout or Dave's unseemly habit of rooting through the garbage, one fact is clear: The boy is swine.
Commitment-phobic yuppie Johnny (Patrick Porter) gets more than he bargained for when his relationship-ready not-quite-boyfriend Dave (Jesse May) magically turns into a pig after a quick roll in the hay. Enlisting the help of his slacker friend Kyle (Tim Dietrich), who, surprisingly, holds a master's in comparative folklore, Johnny sets out to change Dave back into his hotty human self before Animal Control can break up their blossoming relationship.
With witty banter, Weikel turns the notion of happily ever after on its well-worn head, injecting camp and fetish gags (furries, anyone?) into Pig Tale's fractured fairy-tale format. And though he's a bit heavy-handed with the schmaltz, Weikel creates an engaging metaphor for modern relationships as Dave transforms from sexual object into human romantic partner. That said, Pig Tale stumbles structurally — scenes have an unsatisfying habit of petering out or being cut short by monologue interludes — and the script has a tendency to wander distractedly into self-indulgence: an impromptu song-and-dance number to the Green Acres theme, for example.
Thankfully, director Mark Finley has recruited a strong cast who — for the most part — blithely prance over some of the script's pitfalls. Most notable is Dietrich, who deftly portrays Kyle like a stoned Paul Lynde. And while Pig Tale still manages to satisfy as camp bonbon, by cutting out some of the script's, er, pork, this little piggy could really go to market. — Paul Menard, Back Stage
Actor wins role by a nose.
(Urban Stages Interview)
When playwright Chris Weikel saw actor Jesse May transform himself into a swine for a preliminary staged reading of his new comedy Pig Tale (now being presented by TOSOS at Wings Theater), he knew he wouldn't have to look any further to cast the role. "I hadn't even finished the play and he was already a shoo-in for the part. His physicalization and his squealing were incredibly expressive. This is the only instance I'm aware of where the swine was cast before the pearl." United Stages wanted to know…
US: Jesse May, what in your acting career or personal life has prepared you to play a man who turns into a pig?
JM: A lack of ego, probably. I look in the mirror each morning and wonder, "Oh no, what the hell is this?" Piggishness never seems far afield: in thought, word or deed. Even so, the prospect of spending four-hour rehearsals on one's hands and knees, squealing, gave me pause…but then I thought about all the stuff I've done prior, in which the Thing, the role, was all about physical transformation. Period pieces, for instance. For me, roles like this are all about caging an impulse within your body and holding it within a framework. This time the framework is a pig, I guess. I love that kind of stuff.
US: As an actor you probably research your roles thoroughly. To your knowledge how many sounds are their in the pig vocabulary for the word "corn"?
JM: "Corn" is such a funny word. There's that apocryphal "Corn? I don't remember eating corn!" anecdote that I probably oughtn't repeat. But pigs never really ate much corn, historically; I mean, because my girlfriend works with all kinds of farmers, I know that pigs which eat corn, solely, taste horrible and are less healthy than are pigs allowed to forage and do what they naturally do. Pigs then, probably have very few sounds for "corn," but hundreds of sounds for "slop," like Eskimos and "snow," you know? This is verging on the pedantic, but pigs are used to hunting out truffles, right? Which means, genetically, they've been built from the ground up to root out some tasty, tasty stuff. Do you think they really spent all that time looking for corn? Yeah: each day I'm torn between eating fallen apples, truffles and morels…or CORN.
US: From your character's point of view, what is Pig Tale about?
JM: You try and tell someone you love them, right? But the impulse, in words, comes out all perverted and wrong and you just freak the other person out. That's my experience—and I think my character's, as well. So I guess it's this journey in which two people find an emotional equilibrium, a Rosetta's stone for everything they feel.
US: Other than this role, what's the most unusual character you've ever played?
JM: This great playwright friend of mine, Ed Valentine, wrote this part where I got to play the Raven—you know, Edgar Allen Poe and all—and play it in a feathered tuxedo jacket and thong. In the play, the Raven was Poe's muse, encouraging him to sell his soul and his child bride's life in order to write The Poem, you know? So I got to do all this cool bird mannerism work. Plus a little bit of sexy, Mick Jagger-esque "sell your soul to the devil-rockstar" business.
US: Transformation and reinvention seem to be a big part of the American Dream and our national character. If the sky were the limit, and you wanted a break from your acting career, how would you transform or reinvent yourself.
JM: I think I'd like to be a really intelligent professor. The idea of finding craft, art and metaphor in a science, for me, seems very appealing. There's that story about the guy who discovered the structure of the benzine ring. After years of reasearch, I guess, he had a dream about a snake eating its tail, which is the essential structure of benzine, and one of his students said, "what a lucky break: have a dream and discover an important molecule," and he said, "Inspiration comes to the prepared spirit." Which is to say, he thought about it for years before his thoughts coalesced around the truth. I'd like to be a scientist and have my thoughts organized differently than they are.
US: What do you most like about working with TOSOS?
JM: The people. It seems like a community of theater types who've coalesced around a common purpose, a generating spirit, and when you're around them you just get it all. And once you innately get the goal, the horizon, you can just focus on the business of getting there: the acting and staging and whatnot. Doric (Wilson) and Mark (Finley) and Chris, they're all so cool about just working toward the particular horizon of this project. I've worked with other ancillary figures from TOSOS and playwrights like Chris who've come out of Tina Howe's program, for instance, and they're all so grounded in the work. No egos. And smart. They're not amateurs.
US: In Pigspeak: why should people come to Pig Tale?
JM: Chris Weikel wrote my squeals out in the script like this, which I think should suffice for an answer: "OOOOUUUIIIIIEEEEE!" Evocative, no?
US: That certainly is. We'll see you at the show.

I got a bazillion puzzles for Christmas and this was the first one up. Once I go to bed at night I have a hard time going to / or staying asleep so I have started "puzzling" at night once I go to my space.
Ceaco Puzzles
Thats so cool!!
Now I'm jealous Faith. I want to work on a jigsaw puzzle.
Fantastic puzzle. Love the idea of trying in old puzzles for different ones!
Love puzzles. There is always one on the go at the Seniors' Centre so I get to work on quite a variety.
I love puzzles! I wish I had a table big enough to work them! My mom would go ape over this golf one. She played golf at a semi-pro level before her health started going downhill. She still watches it on television though.
I started putting puzzles together as a kid and find it a great deal of fun.
I love puzzles! Theis one looks like it was fun!
Have to make room for puzzling. Love puzzles and that one looks like it was a lot of fun!
Looks good - and a great way to spend some sleepless hours :)
Great job :). I used to really be into puzzles but have since stopped because I like cross stitching more!
Nice work. Have fun with the other ones.

I'm in Barcelona now, having just arrived from the wonderful city that is Donostia (or San Sebastián in Spanish) which is truly a foodie's heaven and I shall blog about those experiences in more detail.
the first thing we did upon arriving at Barcelona is to visit Can Majo which is a famous seafood restaurant well known for serving exquisite paella for a long time. My friend Tim recommended it and so I thought I'd give it a try.
I eyed the bouillabaisse on the menu and gave that a try - which was a mistake. The soup wasn't even made out of proper seafood stock as it should be and it tasted as though it were thickened with flour. mediocre and does not deserve to be called such. 5/10
The paella was the star of the show - probably the best I have eaten to date. The rice had fabulous texture being al dente and retaining a certain chewiness and flavoured by the intense sweetness of the seafood. Delicious. 8.5/10
Overall dinner at Can Majo was not cheap considering we have had some really outstanding meals for much less. But as an experience and for the paella it's well worth a visit.

I learned a new word recently. Sadly, I can't remember where I discovered it – possibly in Aristoi, by Walter John Williams, but I'm not at all sure.
I like learning new words, which I guess is a good thing for a writer. The pinnacle of pleasure, when it comes to adding words to one's vocabulary, is when you experience, think or see something and have no word to describe it, only to discover that such a word exists and precisely and evocatively describes the thing or sensation for which your vocabulary had no answer. That's a good feeling, right there.
(Quite often, incidentally, in such a case it'll turn out there's a word in German for whatever it is you currently lack the right word for. It's easy to have words for all sorts of specific, obscure things – especially states of mind – when you're allowed, indeed expected, to make new words by gluing together old ones. Hence Schadenfreude, and Weltschmerz, both glorious words. This is a very sensible way of organizing a language, if you ask me.)
Slightly less satisfying, but still jolly good, is when you discover a new word for something that you did not know needed a word to describe it, but as soon as you hear the definition you think: "Yes, of course there should be a word for that; and this new word I've been given is a perfect fit." Such were the circumstances surrounding my acquisition of the word … SKEUOMORPH.
The dictionary that's always by my desk defines skeuomorph as (brace yourselves):
'… a decoration or decorative feature in architecture etc, derived from the nature of the material originally used, or the way of working it; a retained but no longer either functional or incidental characteristic of an artefact …'
i.e., in the aspect that pleases me most, a skeuomorph is a deliberately included feature of an object that serves no useful function, but is retained as a 'call back' to the manner in which that object, or similar ones, were formerly made. Wikipedia, naturally, has lots of examples, of which my favourites are:
– spokes on car wheels or hubcaps, which aren't structurally needed but are there as an echo of how wheels used to be made;
– fake woodgrain printed on all kinds of stuff that isn't wood, but is used for things that wood used to be used for;
– tiny, non-functional handles on bottles of maple syrup.
It had never occurred to me before, but as soon as it was pointed out, I thought: "Yes! Of course there should be a word for all that stuff." And if we've got to have a word for it, skeuomorph is an excellent choice. Sadly, I can't think of any likely scenario in which I'll have an excuse to use it in my writing any time soon, but I'll keep it mentally filed away for future reference.
Two other thoughts this word discovery prompted:
1. Words derived from Greek, like skeuomorph, look and sound cooler than words derived from Latin. On average. That is my opinion, and I'm sticking to it.
2. There should clearly and indisputably be a word for 'the pleasure of learning a new word that satisfyingly describes something the learner was previously unable to concisely describe'. In the possibly unlikely event that a word for this sensation does not already exist in German, I believe the people of Germany have a moral duty to the rest of the world to come up with a suitable word as a matter of urgency.

Their order was to win, and that?'s just what they did.
For the second time in three years, 3rd Infantry Division Soldiers took top honors as the culinary team of the year at the Annual Military Culinary Arts Competition held at Fort Lee, Virginia. More than 20 teams from all branches of the Armed Services compete in this annual event sanctioned by the American Culinary Federation. It is the largest culinary competition in North America.
?"You are the number one culinary team in the entire U. S. Army," Maj. Gen. Mike Murray, 3rd ID commanding general told the team members during an award ceremony April 11. ?"That is not an easy competition to win, but I am excited that you did it. This is a big deal."
Led by Sgt. Maj. David Turcotte, 3rd ID food services manager, the Fort Stewart team trained from January to March at Evans Army Airfield Dinning Facility, which led to the team winning the student skills, field cooking events, and nutritional hot food challenge against 234 competitors.
The team will go on to compete on a national level at the 2014 ACF National Convention in July.
Currently in its 39th year, the U.S. Army Culinary Arts Competition has been held annually with the exception of 1991 and 2003, during Operations Desert Storm and Iraqi Freedom. The competition showcases the talents of military chefs from around the globe in all branches of the U.S. Armed Forces.

For Catholics, the Sacrament of Marriage is a partnership between a man and a woman "of the whole of life (totius vitae consortium) and which is ordered by its nature to the good of the spouses and the procreation and education of offspring" (see Code of Canon Law, Can 1055 no1). The Catholic Church considers marriage as a covenant that has been raised by Christ our Lord to the dignity of a sacrament, one of seven sacraments in the Church. The effect of the sacrament is an increase in sanctifying grace for the spouses, a participation in the divine life of God Himself. Marriage is not simply a legality but a vocation.
This sanctifying grace helps each spouse to help the other advance in holiness, and it helps them together to cooperate in God's plan of redemption by raising up children in the Faith.
In this way, sacramental marriage is more than a union of a man and a woman; it is, in fact, a type and symbol of the divine union between Christ, the Bridegroom, and His Church, the Bride. As married Christians, open to the creation of new life and committed to our mutual salvation, we participate not only in God's creative act but in the redemptive act of Christ.
If you have recently become engaged and are seeking information about getting married in the parish church of St Thomas of Canterbury, congratulations! In asking to be married in the Catholic Church, you and your future spouse are publicly proclaiming your faith in the Lord Jesus Christ and asking to live as disciples of Christ in the Sacrament of Marriage. The sacred liturgy of your wedding, which begins your married life by the solemn exchange of marital consent, is above all else an act of worship; and we will help you prepare both for that happy day and for the lifetime of marriage that follows your nuptial liturgy.
Much confusion exists about marrying in the Catholic Church, which is unfortunate, since the requirements are relatively straightforward:
In the UK, you and your spouse must be unrelated to one another as forbidden by law and over the age of 16. If you have not yet reached your 18th birthday, then your parents' permission is necessary as well as your birth certificate. You must also be of sufficiently sound mind in order to understand what marriage entails and the nature of the marriage contract.
To marry in St Thomas' Parish Church, one of the spouses should be a practising Catholic and registered parishioner who attends mass regularly. Also, if one of the spouses has a connection to St Thomas' and has moved away, then marriage here is still possible as long as the spouse is a practising Catholic. Diocesan guidelines stipulate you will need to contact the parish priest at least six months prior to the intended date of your marriage.
Catholics can marry non-Catholics. The Church does require baptized Catholics to marry in a Catholic Church whether the spouse is Catholic or not. The person the Catholic is marrying does not have to become a Catholic, since it would be wrong for someone simply to convert to Catholicism simply in order to marry.
With regard to Catholics marrying someone who has been married before, then speak to the parish priest as to marrying in Church. There are all sorts of different situations that arise and the Church as specific answers to them. It is best to see the priest about your specific situation.
The Church requires that engaged couples attend a pre-nuptial weekend course in the six months prior to their marriage.
The best plan of action is to contact one of the priests at least six months beforehand to discuss your marriage plans and to complete the attached form.

|Haven't played here in long time. I really enjoyed today's round. Mostly in good shape, the greens are really good. Slow, but held a shot better than most greens around here. I stopped the ball all day. A couple of fairways had bare spots, but there was good grass right next to them. The golfers here keep the ball marks fixed on the greens and put a lot of sand in divots. I find that refreshing. Going back again soon. All 4 of us liked it.

Honeytrap which was shown at the Urbanworld Film Festival is a UK film based off on true events of Honeytrap Killer. In the film, Layla (Jessica Sula) is a troubled youth that just migrated to England from Trinidad to live with her mother after having living with her grandparents most of her life. Her desire for fame and love quickly puts her in a relationship with a local rapper Troy (Lucien Laviscount) while at the same time drawing the attention of another boy she just met, Shaun (Ntonga Mwanza)
Cinematically beautiful, well acted, there is a lot to like about the film. The performances by the cast especially the leads including Jessica Sula, Lucien Laviscount and Ntonga Mwanza are chillingly good performances as their lives intertwine and feelings of love and betrayal are explored. It is interesting to see Layla's transformation and struggle for acceptance, of which Jessica Sula does an excellent job showing a range of emotions in this challenging role.
Overall, while I enjoyed it, I recommend it with reservations primarily because of the extremely slow plodding pace the movie goes through and shaky camera work. While you can see why it was important for the filmmaker to give as much attention as she does to each scene, because of the pacing, this film may not be for everyone. I would however watch the film at least once if you have a chance especially if you don't mind films that unfold slowly.
At Urbanworld Film Festival's screening there was a Q&A after the film with the Director, Producer, and Actress. Some of the things discussed included why the Director Rebecca Johnson decided to tell this story and not a more positive uplifting story out of Bristol's troubled neighborhood. To that she replied that while there were many important different stories to tell this particular story really spoke to her and was important to her. She also said she received a lot of similar positive feedback for making the film when she screened it in Bristol. She also spoke about how while she wanted to tell the story of the Honeytrap killer she didn't want to tell the specific story, detail for detail of what happened, but rather a story loosely based on the actual story to build on it creatively. The group was asked why the movie was called Honeytrap, in which the trio responded that, that was what the media called the killer during the actual event. Actress Jessica Sula discussed how because of her Trinidadian background the character especially resonated to with her. She also spoke about how she understood her character Layla could have been swept up in the moments in the movie. Lastly, the Director also spoke about how she worked with a composer to develop the mostly classical music soundtrack that they thought best suited the movie.

Informed decisions for sound CRT recycling
You don't need to be a trained auditor to ensure your hazardous CRT units are properly managed. This simple checklist will help you make the responsible choice.
Be sure to do ALL FIVE STEPS to make sure you are making the right choice.
- Find a certified electronics recycler – Go to www.e-Stewards.org and www.R2solutions.org to find a certified electronics recycler near you. These companies have undergone rigorous audits to help ensure proper handling and management of hazardous electronic products.
- Call the recycler and say you are interested in shipping them CRT products. Ask (in this exact order):
- How much leaded glass do they produce for recycling in a year?
- Where do they send the leaded glass and how it is managed (glass-to-glass, smelter, other)?
- Get the name and contact information for the company they are sending the leaded glass to. (See the list of leaded glass processors)
- Call the downstream company that is recycling the leaded glass and get confirmation that they are receiving the volume of material indicated by the recycler.
- If you chose to contract with that recycler, put a stipulation in your agreement that you must be notified of any changes in the downstream for the leaded glass.
- VISIT the facility. All certified e-recyclers are not created equal! Seeing a well managed operation run by informed personnel is key to making the right choice.

HARRISBURG, Pa. -- Pennsylvania legislators are working overtime Saturday and Sunday to come up with a plan to pay for the state's $32 billion budget.
Some legislators propose taking money from the state's $11 billion Tobacco Master Settlement Agreement as a way to cover an approximate $2 billion budget shortfall.
The General Assembly passed a spending bill, without passing a payment plan, but the governor won't sign off on the budget without a way to pay for it.
If legislators don't come up with a plan soon, the budget will automatically become law after midnight on Monday.
Borrowing money from a state settlement with tobacco companies could help cover a $2 billion budget shortfall.
It's a proposal that falls short with the American Lung Association.
American Lung Association VP of community impact Joy Meyer said "by taking those dollars, what we are saying is that the 22,000 people in Pennsylvania who die every year from smoking deaths, are not an important cause."
American Lung Association vice president of community impact Joy Meyer, is not only concerned about the loss of lives due to smoking, but the programs that help prevent those deaths as well.
"The cessation programs, the Pennsylvania Free Quitline, tobacco prevention in our schools, Young Lungs at Play, so that people don't smoke in the playgrounds with our kids, just educating everyone about what the impact would truly be," Meyer said.
Governor Tom Wolf said "it would certainly be a concern to have any of the programs that came out of the tobacco settlement cut."
The General Assembly passed a $32 billion spending plan, but have yet to come up with a payment plan that adds up, falling about $2 billion short.
Gov. Tom Wolf (D) said "there are one-time gaps that we have to take into account, where one-time use of funds is appropriate, but we have some recurring problems. Recurring debt and recurring expenditures that we have to cover, and that's what we're all talking about."
Rep. Mark Gillen (R-Berks/Lancaster) "I'm a 'pay as you go' type of person, and I'd like to see us get our spending under control because what's the answer next year? So I'm not interested in short term fixes."
This situation may seem like déjà vu to most Pennsylvanians. Like last year, legislators will be working overtime to find a solution to where should the $2 billion needed to balance the budget come from.
"Today and tomorrow, and I think we've been talking since last Friday, and I'm optimistic," Wolf said.
"I have no difficulty with that, I would rather be here longer and get it right," Gillen said.
"They're in a difficult situation, trying to make tough decisions, so we hope that public health wins again this year, and that we will continue to do the good work that we do in Pennsylvania," Meyer said.
S&P recently threatened to lower Pennsylvania's AA- credit rating because the budget has not been balanced yet.
A lower score could cost taxpayers more money in the long run as it would cost the state more to borrow money.

Alan Read is the Department Chair of Theater at King's College London, director of the Performance Foundation, author of numerous titles on theater, and writes and broadcasts for BBC Radio 4. In Fall 2015, he taught "Theater Capital" to Berkeley students in London as part of UC Berkeley's Global Edge program.
Global Edge is an exciting program where newly admitted Berkeley freshmen spend their first semester abroad in London while earning Berkeley credit towards their degree. Click here for more info.
"From the West End to Westminster Abbey and many performances in between, plus a pair of gold lamé boots"
We're delighted to have you working with our Berkeley students in London. Can you tell us how you became involved in the Berkeley Global Edge program?
My esteemed colleague Professor Catherine Cole at UC Berkeley contacted me asking if I could suggest anyone in London who might take on this new program. Catherine and her team were looking for a class that met the rigorous standards and imagination of their own Berkeley theatre programmes. I did my PhD at the University of Washington in Seattle in the 1970s and had always looked south down I-5 with admiration for what Berkeley represented, not least of all in the performing arts. So, while pretending to think of other potential course leaders for this, I always knew I wanted to do it myself.
What does the "Theater Capital" course entail?
Theater Capital has a self-explanatory subtitle: Performance in London/London in Performance. King's College London – Strand Campus (where I first developed the course) is at the heart of 'Theatreland' (the West End, a vibrant, highly-profitable center of world theatre), which offers untold opportunities. But I also want students to explore the broad spectrum of performance beyond these stages—from the performances evident amongst lawyers in the Royal Courts of Justice, to the ceremony on the street as part of the Lord Mayor's annual procession, and amongst clergy in Westminster Abbey—events which are all a few minutes walk away from King's College and the Berkeley base at ACCENT.
For the Global Edge program, I rethought the course with first-semester Berkeley students in mind: students whose initial engagement with the "Berkeley way" (of which I am a huge admirer) would be their London experience. I will leave it to my first class to spread the word of what they thought worked and did not, but over the semester of fourteen classes, four site visits and six performances we had a 95% attendance rate, which, given how easy it is to catch a cold during the fall in the London, was not bad.
Can you give us an overview of the semester?
It was a very full program of work. Before we even sat in class we were sitting in the The Purcell Room seeing Western Society performed by Gob Squad, one of Europe's leading performance companies whose work combines media technologies, virtuosity of practice, contemporary themes and political forms of participation. Indeed only some of us were in the audience as within half an hour of the show Western Society starting, two members of the Berkeley group had been taken up onto the stage alongside six other audience members to participate in the second hour of the show.
Ivan He and Ruby Armstrong were integral to the performance and received a standing ovation alongside other members of the company. It is an honour as a professor of theatre to find that one's first act of 'assessing' a student is as an audience member applauding those students to the rafters. They were courageous and funny, cool and clever, which is what I expected of Berkeley students, but did not expect to see manifested quite so soon on a prestigious London stage in front of a packed, cheering auditorium.
After this start, the course fell into place beautifully. There were 40 Berkeley students in the class, which made for a full and coherent classroom. Each Friday, we had three hours of concentrated study at the ACCENT base about the experiences we had of theater, and site visits to the Royal Courts of Justice, the Old Bailey, Tate Modern, and the 800th staging of the Lord Mayor's Show. What we were aiming for was a rigorous introduction to performance in London without excluding the manifest ways in which the city itself is a Theatre capital, a constant churn of multifarious performances through which London establishes what it can be and do (and cannot do).
Our discussions also took seriously what was happening around us during the semester, including, for instance, considering the Paris atrocities at the Bataclan for what they were: a savage attack on the students' own generation within what was a 'theatre' in the midst of a performance. We worked on an idea that comes from a Parisian writer, Roland Barthes, that 'texts' are not just written things, but complex sign systems that exist in the world, within which ambiguous meanings are generated. Our task, following Barthes, was to reveal ways in which such performances can help us to understand our surroundings better, and of course to live more fully and justly within that world alongside others with very different understandings of that 'same' world.
In one assessment exercise, titled 'Theatre Capital', groups of five students each presented twelve images of the city that they had captured on their mobile phones, and analysed ways in which these images of urban life were saturated with performances.
If you cannot see the embedded performances that make up this image (other than the obvious image of the pan player to the right of the proscenium frame), then you might want to seek out a member of this class and ask them where the performances are, what they are, and why they make a difference to everything happening here. Or, you might want to come join next year's Theatre Capital program in London – you would be welcome.
What other plays did the class see? Out of all the cultural opportunities in London, why these?
We were graced with a very fine season of theater this fall, and were brilliantly supported by Sara in the London ACCENT office who has a magic way of getting a large number of tickets for very hard-to-attend shows. For instance, we saw one of the first nights of Martin McDonagh's (scriptwriter of In Bruges) celebrated play Hangmen at the beautiful Royal Court Theatre, which received 5-star reviews, and has since transferred to the West End to huge acclaim. We saw the new play Pomona, a dystopian drama exploring a void space in a city where something appalling is happening, staged at the National Theatre's experimental space, The Shed. We then saw a classic work, Timberlake Wertenbaker's Our Country's Good on the huge Olivier Stage of the National, and to offset this spectacular political historical drama we spent an evening at the Young Vic with the amazing Belarus Free Theatre and their captivating production of King Lear. This company is in exile from their home country – threatened with incarceration or even death were they to return.
Now, I have seen many King Lears, but only one student within the group had seen a performance of the play, so this was a big call to introduce students to the Bard's greatest work in this way (not at the Royal Shakespeare Company or the Globe). I knew it was really no risk as the Belarus Free Theatre artists are preeminent performers in world theatre and showed us why with a dizzying, coruscating staging of the play that, again, brought the audience to its feet. Two hours after the show ended, the Berkeley students were still in the auditorium, having downed Belarusian herring snacks brought to them by the company, discussing the relationship of the work to issues of gerontology with a specialist from a neurological centre in a London hospital. Intellectual stamina indeed – just what I expected.
Our final and sixth show was Wallace Shawn's Evening at the Talk House. The group could not believe that Wallace Shawn, who has always acted in his own complex work, turned out to be the short, round guy from Gossip Girl. He is a brilliantly imaginative and scabrous writer, evidenced by this strangely topical play about a world in which theatre has disappeared and actors are either in long-running TV series or assigned to operate as marksmen deploying drones that execute people.
What was your impression of Berkeley students?
Well, I am missing them on Friday mornings. They brought the sun and extended summer well into fall. They were alert, focused, collegiate and supportive of each other in discussion.
I am a demonstrative teacher in front of a class and tend to talk quite a lot. But amongst this company I always felt that the commitment was to the experiences we had shared, and from the first night at Gob Squad's Western Society I knew we would be fine. The show started with a clock to the rear of the stage counting through the digits of the last million years, in front of which entered two of the actors dressed in thigh high gold lamé boots – and nothing else. Since the ending of censorship in London theatre in 1968, no one turns a hair at such things on the London stage, and the group similarly took everything in stride – from being covered in liquids during Belarus Free Theatre's King Lear, to discovering that the strange person sitting next to them in their underpants in Pomona was one of the psychopathic characters about to enter the scene. In short, Berkeley students seem to recognize that in the end, contrary to Shakespeare, all the world is not a stage, and that in performance there are very specific constraints that police the borders between theatre and life. It might be challenging but you are probably in as safe a place as you can be amongst theatre people. They're not a bad lot.
With all these tremendous experiences, can you pin down what was, to you, the most exciting part of this course?
Spending the very last Friday of the semester sitting together on the floor of the Turbine Hall in Tate Modern amidst the Mexican artist Abraham Cruzvillegas' vast installation Empty Lot. We discussed whether the plants that surrounded us had any kind of parliament of their own, who might speak up for them in the current environmental crisis, and whether performance offered any rhetorics (modes of expression) that might help bring them close to the human collective.
The installation work, which had a strong ecological element, had, rather ironically, been funded by the car-maker Hyundai, which raised some interesting questions about arts sponsorship and Tate's dependency on fossil fuel centered-funding. We were there helping them to kick the habit and were fully borne out by our commitment, some days later, when the Paris Climate Accord was eventually signed. The Berkeley students had great insights to offer weighing up the many sides of these challenging arguments.
Hearing back from each student over tea at the beautiful Wallace Collection later on that last Friday, before they left for home, of what it had meant to them to have this opportunity to be in London, to live and to learn, was more than a pleasure. Roll on next year.

Things I Don't Do: A Middle PartBy Glinda
A while ago, I pointed out that it seemed middle parts were making a comeback as seen on the runways at New York Fashion Week. And indeed, along with the resurgence in 70's influenced style, the middle part has found its way back onto the heads of women everywhere.
Well, not everywhere.
Because if there is one certainty I have in life, it is that I look horrific with a middle part.
Kudos to you blessed ones that can make it work, but I find that it is so severe looking that it usually makes the wearer look older. Not having bangs in the first place can be a somewhat severe look as it is, and when you add a middle part, it can be a one way ticket to aged flower child if you aren't careful. I'm not saying it can't look good, I'm just saying it is harder to pull off, especially if your hair is straight, long and one length.
I did sport a middle part back in the day, but that was in the actual 1970's, and I was probably about eight and had little say about my hair at that time. Thanks Mom, for the ugly memories! Yes, now I have Brooklyn Decker's haircut, but one basic difference is that I part mine on the side. Pssst, Brooklyn, it looks much better that way!
I know the middle part is supposed to go hand in hand with the latest bohemian-inspired looks, but the last time I looked even vaguely bohemian was when I dressed as a gypsy for Halloween in fifth grade. Bohemian and Glinda don't go together. At all.
Are you for or against middle parts?
P.S. Is it just me or does Fergie actually have some orange in her eyebrows up there? Please tell me I'm imagining it. Either way, girlfriend needs to use some different eyebrow powder, methinks. Unless she is really digging the orange trend and then, uh, good for her?

US Citizen Corps Harassing Other Citizens/Immigrants
Before I begin, two paragraphs to put this in context: This has to do with a secretive group receiving money to use emerging technologies (see footnote 1. and others ) to experiment, and able to sanction crimes. They have sought and succeeded in making most all people I associate with, controlled in regards to me, for negative and illegitimate purposes. This includes strangers, who have on average, fill destinations or places visited, present offensive jestures or harassment in my presence, and have been involved in stealing from anything that may be carried by me, ie: printed material, contents of backpack, important personal items or documents.
One has to question what sort of recruitment is involved in this locally, and elsewhere this has happened.
US Citizens Corp data base of citizens:
From the Operation TIPS (Terrorist Information and Prevention)
quote: "Each file or entry contains an interested individual's name, mailing address, e-mail address, and Volunteer Program area of interest. The database contains and tracks names of each individual and the date of expression of interest, type of interest expressed (e.g., Community Emergency Response Team, Neighborhood Watch, Citizen Corps
Councils), and similar information."-[Federal Register: May 7, 2002 (Volume 67, Number 88)] http://www.citizencorps.gov/downloads/txt/news/02-11253.txt
The experience I have daily, with evidence in names of businesses, from the Mid West to the current location, is the use of an enormous pool of people, to arrive before, the same time, or after, I do, at almost all destination, daily, for purposes stated below. In one area, over a hundred people on call, so that differing people are used each time.
There should be investigation as to whether this system is being used to create pools of people in all the country, for the purpose of assigning them to harassment for emeriging technologies experiments. There has been many people daily for 4 years, that in all locations, daily, fill to one extent or another, all spaces occupied by myself. This takes many people in that there are different people used, to harass, distract for theft, taunt, play on associations for criminal ends. Police in all locations are aware of this, and used. Offices, like FBI or Attorney General, when approached for concerns regarding incidences or crimes that fall within their respective juristiction, are sometimes informed before I call on their offices, and have been ordered to confront me in particular ways, never claiming the seriousness of what I attempt to report.
It takes a vast database to come up with people for specific tasks, from stalking or harassment to serious crimes, over long distances. I have been met with in airports en route cross country by groups who evidently have been coached for specifics in harassment.
Here are some quotes from the Citizen Corp website, regarding Operation TIPS:
"This new system of records contains information gathered by the Citizen Corps, which is part of the USA
Freedom Corps established by President George W. Bush under Executive Order 13254, January 29, 2002."
2002: Pursuant to the Privacy Act of 1974 (5 U.S.C. 552a),
The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) proposes to establish a new system of records entitled "Citizen Corps Database Tracking System..http://www.citizencorps.gov/downloads/txt/news/02-11253.txt.
Operation TIPS found in Report by Lawyers Committee for Human Rights 2002.
I have placed below as a footnote quotes and link from Lawyers Committee for Human Rights Report mentioning Operations TIPS, from A Year Lost, Reexamining Civil Liberties Since September 11. (footnote 1.). A data pool to outsource actions of crime and harassment, trained and coached, is indeed a real thing.
Harassment using many citizens Sometimes more than 100 citizens per day are used to fill cafes, restaurants, mob at every outing to a mini mart. People have been placed on airlines for this purpose, with seating arranged beforehand. I have evidence of this in records, though all boarding passes for 2006 have been stolen from me.
How these citizens are instructed to do:
Cruel attention includes cutting hair from behind, tampering with backpack, stealing anything I carry, instructing stores to short change when others distract, and malicious tricks using seeming friendly people, etc.. They even use children to steal from me, mob and stalk, etc.
There is mobilization daily, filling destinations, day to day places, vehicles used as well.
There is never any short supply, and no one seems to have a conscience. This is right out of Nazi play books.
If one checks the internet Google: gang stalking; covert harassment, you will find misinformation, a flood of it. Nothing regarding gang stalking, or the internet people claiming to be victims can be confirmed.
Thus stated, a structure similar to Operation TIPS (http://www.citizencorps.gov/) is used as a pool of people, all ages and classes, so that sadistic exercises using emerging technologies, can pervasively fill the subjects every moment with intrusions, some playing on themes, psychological conditioning.
And if you ever wonder why police stations look like a sealed ticket booth at a theater, well, it has some advantages in denying a subject of what is referred to here, access to police for reporting crimes from felony to malicious acts.

بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِيْمِ
"In the name of Allah, the most Gracious, the most Merciful."
السلام عليكم و رحمة الله و بركاته
"May peace and blessings of Allah be upon you."
Wudu' (ablution) is a ritual ablution, cleansing certain limbs of the body from minor impurities using pure water. Wudu' is always a recommended act in Islamic rituals but it becomes obligatory in certain circumstances. For instance, it is obligatory before establishing the salat (prayers).
"O ye who believe! When ye rise up for prayer, wash your faces, and your hands up to the elbows, and lightly rub your heads and (wash) your feet up to the ankles."
(Al Qur'an 5:6)
There are six fard or basic elements of wudu' and if any of these elements is missed, the wudu' becomes batil (void) and invalid. These elements are:
1. Reciting the niyyah or intentions for wudu'
نَوَيْتُ رَفْعِ الْحَدَثِ اْلاَصْغَرِ ِللهِ تَعَالَ
Nawaitu raf'al hadathil asgari lilahi taala
"I cleanse myself from minor impurities for Allah, the Most High."
"I cleanse myself from minor impurities for Allah, the Most High."
2. Wash the face. The face is what is between the forehead and chin, ear to ear.
3. Wash both arms up to the elbows.
4. Wiping part of the head (from the crown of the head to the hair-line. Wiping of the head can be performed on any part of the quarter of the head which is over the fore-head. The act of wiping can be done with one finger only, but it is recommended to use three fingers together. The water must reach the root of the hair).
5. Wash the feet up to the ankle.
6. Follow the above order.
1. Muslim
2. Mumayyiz (able to perceive between good and bad)
3. Clean from major impurities
4. Using water that is pure and unmixed (mutlaq).
5. The organs of wudu must be exposed, in other words, there should be nothing on them which might prevent the water from reaching the skin.
1. Start by silently saying:
بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِيْمِ
Bismillāhi r-raḥmāni r-raḥīm
"In the name of Allah, the most Gracious, the most Merciful."
2. Washing both hands up to the wrist.
3. Rinsing the mouth.
4. Cleansing the nostrils by sniffing the water and blowing it out.
5. Begin washing the right limbs firsts.
6. Rub the while head with water or with wet hands.
7. With thumbs and fingers, rub both ears.
8. Wash all the limbs with wudu' three times.
9. Rub between fingers of the hands and feet.
10. After completion, saying the kalimah shahadah:
أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَاإِلَــــهَ إِلَّا اللهُ ، وَأَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا رَسُوْلُ اللهِ
Ashhadu alla ilaha illalah, wa ashadu anna muhammadar-rasulullah
"I testify that there is no god but God, and I testify that Muhammad is God's Messenger."
1. Discharge of urine (and semen).
2. Stool.
3. Farting.
4. Menstruation and post-natal bleeding.
5. Sleeping.
6. Drunkenness from alcohol or drugs.
7. Unconsciousness.
8. Madness or insanity.
اَشْهَدُ اَنْ لآّاِلَهَ اِلاَّاللهُ وَحْدَهُ لاَشَرِيْكَ لَهُ وَاَشْهَدُ اَنَّ مُحَمَّدًاعَبْدُهُ وَرَسُوْلُهُ. اَللهُمَّ اجْعَلْنِىْ مِنَ التَّوَّابِيْنَ وَاجْعَلْنِىْ مِنَ الْمُتَطَهِّرِيْنَ
Ashhadu alla ilaha illallahu wahdahu lasyarikalah, wa asshadu anna muhammadan 'abduhu warasuluh. Allahumaaj'alni minat tauwabina waj'alni minal mutatahhirin waj'alni min'ibadijas-solihin.
"I bear witness that there is no god but Allah, He is One and has no associate. And I bear witness that Muhammad is His servant and Messenger. O Allah, join me with those who repent of their sins again and again, and join me with those who keep themselves neat and clean at all times, and join me with those who are abiding."
والله أعلم
"Allah knows best."

Target audience: Nonprofits, cause organizations, foundations, NGOs, social enterprises, businesses, educators, visual artists, photographers, general public.
Images are one of the best ways to tell your story, simply because they convey emotional and unconscious elements of your story that words often cannot.
This is why people share photos the most on Facebook, and why Pinterest has blown up practically overnight.
The shift toward visual storytelling also means that you need the ability to quickly edit the photos you are sharing. You need the ability to do several things with an image:
- Cropping – There are lots of optimal sizes for photos on social media sites, requiring the ability to crop images on the fly.
- Adding text – A picture says 1,000 words, but adding text narrows the field.
- Combining images – Before/after pics and infographics.
- Adjusting contract and tone – Many times the photos you take at an event will need a little touching up.
- Resizing images – Hi-res images taken with a Canon Powershot might be way too big for a Facebook Page update.
- Creating various file types – Depending on the situation, you may need JPGs, PNGs or GIFs.
7 image editing tools to create top-rate visual content
Here are seven tools you should check out for your image editing needs.
Instagram: An undeniable cool factor
1Instagram is an iPhone and Android app that's both a social network and a very cool photo editor. In terms of editing, the only thing you can do is square cropping and applying a variety of retro-style filters. Sharing to Facebook, Twitter and Tumblr is super easy. Recommended for arts organizations and perhaps museums. Continue reading

Inspiration for the concert came from the "It Gets Better Project," which was started by Dan Savage and Terry Miller in 2010 to help young people who are facing harassment. In response to a number of students taking their own lives after being bullied in school, Savage and Miller wanted to create a personal way for supporters everywhere to tell LGBT youth, and other bullied teens, that it does, indeed, get better. "Everyone deserves to be respected for who they are, but growing up isn't easy," said Choral Director Susan Parton Stanard. "Many young people face daily torment and bullying, because they don't fit in – because they are different." The concert will begin with songs that acknowledge the sorrow and loss people face on a daily basis. The songs will include Caccini's "Ave Maria" with Gail Drillinger on flute, Kinley Lange's "Agnus Dei," Eliza Gilkyson's "Requiem," and Jeffrey Ames' "In Remembrance" with David Drillinger on flugelhorn. Hope will be expressed through Rollo Dillworth's "Jordan's Angels," "The Impossible Dream" from "The Man of La Mancha," and Limited Edition's renditions of "Make Them Hear You" from Ragtime, and a choral medley from "Honk! – the Musical Tale of the Ugly Duckling." The climax of the concert will be "Testimony," a piece written by Stephen Schwartz, composer of "Wicked" and other Broadway favorites. Schwartz took lines from the testimonies of "It Gets Better Project" participants who faced fears and bullying. Their testimonies give hope to LGBT and all youth, that they are not alone and it will get better. The concert will end with Paul Simon's uplifting "Bridge Over Troubled Water." Those wanting more information about this performance can call Stanard at (618) 468-4732 or the music office at (618) 468-4731. Admission to the concert is free.

68 Stony Hill Road ● Bethel, CT ● 203.743.9795
As we watch our neighbors pull down the holiday lights from their houses, we at a New Beginning have begun to put up ours. We have teamed up with Greenleaf Energy Solutions to remove our old lighting with fixtures that significantly decrease our carbon footprint and promote environmental sustainability. This has been a very exciting opportunity for us and we are thrilled with the results and we hope you will be too!
Greenleaf is a remarkable company that helps both businesses and private households upgrade their lighting with more environmentally conscious solutions. Our lighting project will bring significant benefits to both our business and the environment. It is calculated that a New Beginning will, within a 15 year lifespan, avoid 680,849 pounds of Carbon Dioxide, 1,326 pounds of Nitrogen Oxides, and 2,653 pounds of Sulfur Dioxide emissions. This means that the new lighting will reduce air pollutants and therefore improve air quality.
Here is another way to look at these numbers. This project is equivalent to 330,509 pounds of coal not being burned, 84 acres of forestation added, 59 cars removed from road, and is equivalent to 37 homes being provided with electricity. The benefits are truly extraordinary and we are so grateful to Greenleaf Energy Solutions for helping us follow our mission to help our planet.

One of the most important security provisions in Microsoft's ubiquitous Common Internet File System (CIFS) is Server Message Block signing.
SMB signing is a form of packet authentication. After users of a CIFS-based application are authenticated, SMB signing adds a digital signature to each packet transferred between client and server . The signatures verify that the identity of the server matches the credentials expected by the client, and vice versa. By verifying that every packet received comes from an authenticated source, the signature ensures the integrity of all communications.
The hashing algorithm used to create the digital signature adds noticeable computational overhead to the client and the server. On a high-speed LAN , Microsoft estimates this overhead as 10 to15 percent. But this layer of security is considered unnecessary on the LAN, and to maximise throughput, many organisations disable the SMB signing feature of CIFS. Or the server might have SMB signing enabled but not required, meaning any client with SMB signing disabled can still communicate.
The situation is different in the WAN , however, where traffic is vulnerable to man-in-the-middle attacks and hijacking. The need for SMB signing with wide-area file services (WAFS) solutions has been heightened recently with the widespread availability of a hacker tool called SmbRelay that automates a man-in-the-middle attack against the SMB protocol.
Signing protects against SMB session hijacking and other tampering by preventing a network tap from interjecting itself into an established session. SMB signing should therefore be considered a best practice for securing WAFS-based solutions that extend CIFS across the WAN.
There are two problems that the enterprise often encounters with WAFS solutions. The first is their failure to require (vs. merely enable) SMB signing. The second problem occurs after SMB signing is required, and session failures and/or poor WAN performance ensue. The computational overhead is not the culprit here. Rather, the problem results from the inability of some WAFS solutions to compress or otherwise accelerate digitally signed traffic in a fully reversible fashion.
In-line network-acceleration products that rely purely on traffic-interception techniques to implement protocol spoofing and packet compression, for example, can interfere with SMB signing because they don't restore the payload to its precise original contents. A change of just a single bit alters the result of the hashing algorithm that computes the digital signature. Accordingly, this class of products may force organisations to make a trade-off between WAN security and performance.
A more compatible way to implement WAFS for CIFS is a proxy that terminates the CIFS exchange at both ends of the connection. The proxy handles verification of the digital signatures at the source in the LAN, transmits the packets across the WAN, and then re-establishes a CIFS session with SMB signing at the destination. Of course, proxy-based solutions must ensure that packets traversing the WAN are signed or encrypted - or both - to preserve the security afforded by SMB signing.
The proxy approach also benefits the enterprises that deploy WAFS appliances by maintaining compatibility with other CIFS security and integrity features. These features include authentication with a challenge-response handshake, share-level protection and distributed file locking, read/write caching, and journalling and recovery provisions. By supporting Microsoft's CIFS in its native mode, enterprises need not sacrifice WAN security to improve WAN performance.

Click Here for information about Flag Day
National Flag Day is celebrated annually in the United States on June 14. This day commemorates adoption of the United States flag on June 14, 1777.
On National Flag Day, Americans show respect for the U.S. Flag and what it represents. Our independence and unity as a nation is represented by our flag. The flag has become a powerful symbol of Americanism and is flown proudly.
Betsy Ross is given credit, by many, for creating the first American flag. Since 1977, the design of the flag has been officially modified 26 times. For 47 years, the 48-star flag was in effect. In 1959, the 49-star version became official on July 4. President Eisenhower ordered the 50-star flag on August 21, 1959.
Seventeen year old Robert G. Heft of Ohio is credited with designing the 50 star American flag. Of the more than 1,500 designs that were submitted to President Dwight D. Eisenhower, his was chosen.
Many people have died protecting our country. On National Flag Day, raise the flag and fly it proudly.
On May 30, 1916, President Woodrow Wilson issued a proclamation deeming June 14 as Flag Day. President Wilson stated that he selected this day because "It is the anniversary of the day upon which the flag of the United States was adopted by the Congress as the emblem of the Union" and he wrote, "On that day rededicate ourselves to the nation, 'one and inseparable' from which every thought that is not worthy of our fathers' first vows in independence, liberty, and right shall be excluded and in which we shall stand with united hearts."

Please clarify what is "cell" and how you define porosity on it.
It is a Voronoi cell around the capsule. I define porosity as the fraction of the cell occupied by the fluid.
I have more or less the same problem reported in this discussion of two years ago:
I want to evaluate the radial porosity profile of a cylindrical packed bed of capsules.
You can try with woo.triangulated.porosity which works on box-shaped domain. The inernal code is here: https://github.com/woodem/woo/blob/master/pkg/dem/Funcs.cpp#L702 . It ignores orientation of Capsules (or Ellipsoids). Another approach would be to use some other tool to analyze the VTK (or STL) file, since the triangulation defines solid/void areas.
Thanks for your answer. From the structure of the generated packing I noticed it is too loose for my needs. Could you suggest a strategy to obtain a denser packing?
Unfortunately I can't change the size distribution (PSD), because I have to use monodisperse capsules.
What about vibrating the column along the axial direction after particle deposition?
Is it easy to obtain with WooDEM?
Yes, see here: https://ask.woodem.org/index.php/909/vibrate-periodically-move-column-with-particles . Vibration in real life mostly reduces friction effects. I assume you already set friction angle to zero to get denser packing - that's why I did not mention it above. If you have not done so yet, do it, porosity will be lower.
You could also perhaps use woo.pack.randomDensePack2 which will generate dense packing with small overlaps (it is based on isotropic compression and unloading to low pressure). See examples/densepack.py for some examples, maybe also examples/tunnel-pack.py and also older document (from yade times) https://yade-dem.org/doc/user.html#sphere-packings which might be useful. You will have to use woo.pack.inCylinder predicate for the volume; now I see the documentation is not as it should be (i.e. the ctor), so quick peek into the source:
taking centers of the lateral walls (as 3-tuples) and
taking centers of the lateral walls (as 3-tuples) and
so you can call woo.pack.inCylinder(centerBottom=...,centerTop=...,radius=...) to create your cylinder.
