Welfare recipients could soon see tougher regulations on where they can spend their money. While many people on welfare use those benefits to buy food and other household items they need, a state lawmaker says some people are spending those tax dollars at strip clubs, for things like psychics or tattoos.
Most people who qualify for food stamps, more than likely will also qualify for TANF, Temporary Assistance for Needy Families. This is a cash assistance program. A recipient is given an EBT card, and just like a bank card it can be used at ATM's. For some families that's several hundred dollars a month.
While many people who need welfare play by the rules, some don't and spend their money in strip clubs or casinos, or instead of buying milk they spend it on beer and cigarettes. And there's no way for the government to track where that money is going. "That really provokes the tax payers who are working hard to pay their taxes and seeing other citizens take that money and blow it," said Senator Arthur Orr of Decatur.
Senator Orr introduced a bill that would curb some of the misuse of tax dollars. Right now, there is a policy in place that prohibits the misuse of funds, but no penalties. His bill changes that. In addition, if passed by the house places like strip clubs and bars would not be allowed to have ATM's that accept EBT cards.
"Taxpayers resources are so scarce. We need to do everything we can to make sure they are being spent on the families and not the adults who may want to spend it on liquor or casinos or tattoos."

We came out in the first quarter pretty intense. We played pretty well.
They took it to us with offensive rebounding. They played well and we didn`t play the way we needed to play to keep it competitive.
Add to this to the sometimes over complicated legal systems of foreign countries, planning permission and language barriers, the whole process can turn into a living nightmare.
I had strong feelings about winning today, but there was good competition. I`m pretty satisfied with how I ran today, but I have to run faster and keep working hard.
We`ve played better in the District. We`re playing with some confidence. We`re looking forward to the opportunity (to play for a District title).
I was extremely happy with that second group. Those guys brought energy and intensity that we didn`t have.
We didn`t do much until the fourth quarter. We had a very strong fourth quarter.
He`s finally starting to get into a groove. He`s had a lot to deal with this year with the knee and his aunt dying. He was pretty close to his aunt.
We had a few turnovers and they capitalized. I was proud of the guys we had on the floor. We put up a good battle.
That was the story of the game. We were hurt by a little lack of execution but certainly not by a lack of effort. We fought back and cut their lead to four points, but then they hit their free throws.

Here is a very interesting study on Mindfulness based cognitive therapy (MBCT). In this article patients were trained to employ mindfulness as a stress reducing, quality of life enhancing therapy. The results are quite compelling. Be sure to download the entire article at the bottom of this excerpt.
The impact of Mindfulness-based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) on mental health and quality of life in a sub-clinically depressed population
In a previous study [1], non-clinical participants showed to benefit from mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT) in order to combat depression and anxiety, normally induced by a real stressful setting. Following this study, we employed an experimental, randomized-controlled design in a real field among sub-clinically depressed students, to examine whether MBCT is effective to enhance quality of life and also to reduce anxiety and depression naturally experienced before, during and after exam (a real stressful situation).
Traditionally rooted in Eastern culture, mindfulness proved to be effective in stress reduction programs [2] placing emphasis on non-judgmental attention in a certain way; namely, on purpose and in the present moment. Mindfulness based cognitive therapy (MBCT) integrates elements of cognitive– behavioral therapy (CBT) for depression [3] into the mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) training program developed by Kabat-Zinn [2]. As a manualized group-skills training program, MBCT is conducted in 8 weekly sessions of approximately 2.5 hours duration [4]. People undergoing such training program learn to see thoughts, feelings and bodily sensations as passing events in the mind rather than self-evident truths or aspects of the self. In this way the skills learned from MBCT help people recognize and disengage themselves from habitual dysfunctional cognitive routines, which in turn protect them against future risk of experiencing anxiety and depression.
Teasdale and colleagues [5] compared a group of recovered patients with recurrent depression, receiving treatment as usual (TAU), with a group receiving TAU plus MBCT in a randomized design. They demonstrated that MBCT would significantly reduce the risk of relapse. Ma and Teasdale [6] replicated previous findings. They showed that MBCT training halved relapse rate (from 78% to 36%) in patients with 3 or more previous episodes. Cognitively speaking, the vicious cycle between depressed mood and patterns of negative, self-defeating, automatic thinking may result in a vulnerability to relapse of depression. In a recent study [7], MBCT proved to be an effective maintenance therapy with antidepressants in reducing relapse over a 15-months follow-up.
There are also studies showing that MBCT reduces excessive worry or anxiety symptoms [8], relieves insomnia symptoms by reducing worry associated with sleep problems in patients with anxiety disorder [9] and improves quality of life in the physical and psychological domains [7]. There are studies showing that university students are prone to experience anxiety and depressive symptoms mostly related to exam [10, 11]. This, in turn, has been regarded as a serious factor which results in lower test scores and under-achievement [12]. Anxiety management programs [13, 14] and cognitive behaviour techniques [15] have been successfully conducted to relieving exam anxiety.

i love this recipe and i have passed it on to many friends and family.
Blackened Chicken and Grilled Avocado Tacos
migoldbe Posted: 03/14/10
Flits21 Posted: 08/04/09
Disappointed in this recipe, but has potential. The spice mix is good and it is easy and quick to prep. Next time I would not grill the avocado or mix with lime juice. I think the spices need the unadulterated buttery-ness flavor of raw, ripe avocado. Also served with a bit of low-fat cheddar
smellgar Posted: 07/04/10
Simply fabulous recipe. My husband adored these, and the blackened chicken rub is outstanding. I thought the grilled avocado made this recipe - such a rich and creamy texture and taste. Will definitely make again and would be a great summer recipe for company.
foodforliving Posted: 11/26/09
My husband absolutely loves these tacos, and requests them often. The spice blend is tasty, and the meal comes together quite quickly. Grilling the avocado slices is a nice touch, but isn't necessary for a delicious final product. I typically serve these tacos with whole wheat tortillas and 2% Greek yogurt - which is an excellent stand-in for sour cream.
pretendchef Posted: 01/20/12
Yum! The spice mix is really, really tasty and I will definitely make this again. A couple of modifications: I barbecued the chicken and avocado, and the avocado was in quarters that I squeezed half a lime over and let sit for 5 mins before grilling. The avocado got sliced after grilling along with the chicken. I also grilled the tortillas to heat them since the grill was already on (I recommend it!). The grilled avocado was still creamy and a bit smokey with a subtle lime flavour. I served these with garlic-lime refried beans.
axp7082 Posted: 02/08/12
These were delicious and so easy to make. I put together the rub ahead of time in a ziploc freezer bag and just tossed the chicken in before cooking. I was the first chicken I'd ever blackened and was absolutely delicious! I bought the thin sliced chicken breast to be sure they cooked all the way through. Grilling the avocado brought out another level of flavor which just added to the meal. I would make it again!
dsturla Posted: 01/24/13
The chicken was very good, I used hot paprika and used black pepper instead of cayenne. I prefer raw avocados to the grilled ones for this recipe. I will make again for my family.

Well, I'm not TOO familiar with Andrew Hussie's portrayal of our story - once you live something, especially something as traumatic as SBURB was in many ways, you don't always want to reread it - but I think he captures us relatively well.
I like to consider myself a writer, and will say that there is always room for improvement in anything, but from a feminist standpoint I'm quite contented with his representation of women. None of the female characters are presented as weak or helpless, and nor do they fall into the common idea that strong female characters are all masculine and emotionless. Jane maintains femininity while being a badass, and Nepeta is a sweetheart and a loyal friend who stalks huge murderous animals. I personally like to consider myself feminine and polite, but that doesn't stop me from gouging out the eyes of my attackers, and Hussie does not shy away from that idea, nor does he reduce us to simple eye candy or there only as romantic other halves. Good job, Mr. Hussie.
Some of you who read Homestuck, though?
Stop treating us as if we are unimportant, or as if we are antagonistic for getting in the way of your homosexuality-fetishizing, mischaracterizing ships, or as if we are dull and boring. We are strong, we are women. Don't act like if we weren't boys your opinion wouldn't suddenly switch. If Jade and I were the boys of our session, you wouldn't give a shit about John and Dave. It's a double standard that I cannot abide.

Kobe Bryant is in a tooth-and-nail fight with his mother over some priceless basketball memorabilia, including his 1998 All Star ring.
Seems Kobe's mom, Pamela Bryant, made a deal with Goldin Auctions to sell hoards of Kobe's bball swag, including a 2000 All Star game signed ball, game and practice jerseys from his days at Lower Merion High School, a Lakers jacket and shorts, trophies, his varsity high school letters and lots of other stuff.
According to a lawsuit ... obtained by TMZ ... the auction house gave Pamela a $450,000 advance, which she says will be used immediately to buy a new home. According to the lawsuit, Pamela told the auction house Kobe gave her all the stuff outright 5 years ago.
But Kobe has beef, claiming he's the owner of the stuff and he's trying to block the auction.
So a fearful Goldin Auctions has gone to court, naming Kobe as the defendant and asking a judge to declare Pamela the owner of the goods.
A judge has yet to rule.
Yes, Kobe has millions and millions, but those items were from memories HE made. His "mom" didn't teach him how to play basketball or shot baskets every day until her arms were sore.
Maybe he has already given her money, maybe she wasn't a good mom to begin with, nobody knows but them. Personally, I didn't have a great mom and won't give her money either.
Pamela can't claim Kobe's stuff . Poor Kobe , to have your own mother use your fame stuff to gain cash , that just crazy . There is no doubt Kobe will win this fight
She'd better have something signed by him, or she's out of luck. Sounds like a greedy Mom. Hope's she's a step mommy.
Shame on Pamela . You suppose to be his mother his world his guidance in life his everything and she is a greedy cynical woman that prefers cash than the love of his son .
Bet she won't be getting anything for mothers day
Guess she won't be getting anything for mothers day
The POOR WOMAN looks like she is in desperation and NEEDS MONEY,
since Kobe has given ALL HIS MONEY, LIFE & SOUL to Vanessa and her MOM !
Even if the two women have never gotten along Kobe should have LOOKED AFTER HIS MOM !
now i dont feel abd for Kobes Achilles Injury
From the ESPN article that has more info on the situation:
For more news, notes and analysis of the Lakers, check out the Lakers Index. Blog
Sources close to Kobe Bryant confirmed to ESPNLosAngeles.com that before learning about the auction through news reports, the Lakers star has given his parents "millions of dollars in financial assistance" throughout his 17-year career.
Bryant's parents decided to sell his high school memorabilia without his consent in order to purchase an additional home, sources said. Bryant offered to buy a house for his parents, but they wanted a larger one.
If mom dont get that stuff, Vanessa will.
Seriously, I rather have pig then a son like Kobe. What a dirt bag! Thank God for given me a girl.
Why Doesn't Kobe Buy Mama A House? Dude's A freakin' Millionaire.
Those things are Kobe's properties! Does the ring have the mother's name on it? Is the signed basketball has the mother's signature on it? Did the mother ever wore a jersey in her lifetime?
The auction house should be ashamed of themselves, conspiring with Kobe's mother to rob Kobe of his properties. If I were Kobe I'd sue both his mother and the auction house for conspiracy.
Kobe is the owner of his things. Why does his mother think she has any rights to his bball memorabilia? As a mother, I would want to keep them because they are full of great memories. Why would she sell them? Money hogs?
I can't believe how many of you idiots are siding with the mother. I don't care about Kobe's situation with Vanessa OR his mom. Those are priceless items that are rightfully his. Shame on the mother for even considering to sell that stuff, she has no dignity or class at all. Selling priceless items to make a quick buck when her son has definitely taken care of her over the years. Have you seen the jewelry she wears???

Beakus – Savages "Marshal Dear" animated music video
November 8, 2013 by tim rabjohns | 0 comments
I was intrigued by this spellbinding animation sent to me by Steve Smith at Beakus recently. When I put it in fullscreen I was transported to a strange grainy black and white world with lots of explosions and Expressionist sensibilities. The music was great as well – it reminded me of the "ghostrock" group Piano Magic. After a couple of views I was still pretty puzzled so I rang up to find out more…
It turns out it was the latest music video for the Mercury Music Prize nominated band Savages – a new track called 'Marshal Dear'. Directed by Gergely Wootsch Continue reading "Beakus – Savages "Marshal Dear" animated music video" »

Vermont, FEMA clash over new culvert fundingBy DAVE GRAM
The Associated Press | February 07,2013
Bill Kearns from Grafton, Vt. testifies before the House Committee on Fish, Wildlife and Water Resources on Wednesday, Feb. 6, 2013 in Montpelier, Vt. The House committee is taking testimony on the size of culverts that will replace ones destroyed by tropical storm Irene, a critical recovery issue.(AP Photo/Toby Talbot)MONTPELIER Vermont town and state officials who want to replace culverts washed away nearly two years ago by Tropical Storm Irene with new larger, more environmentally friendly models face resistance from the federal agency they had hoped would pay for the work.
At issue are structures that often get no notice until they back up in heavy rains and a road washes out. Traditionally looking like large pipes or concrete cubes, culverts are designed to channel water under roadways. State standards adopted seven years ago urge that they should now be larger, arch-shaped and have natural river bottom lining their bottoms better for passing fish and other organisms than a steel or concrete floor.
The Fish, Wildlife and Water Resources Committee of the Vermont House heard testimony on Wednesday from some of the town leaders, state officials and aides to Vermonts three-member Washington delegation who have been fighting the battle on the states behalf. But one group that hasnt been heard from is the Federal Emergency Management Agency, which has balked at providing some of the emergency funding the state hoped would pay for the work.
Not hearing from FEMA bothered the committees chairman, Rep. David Deen, D-Westminster, who called it amazing and incredible that agency officials declined the committees invitation to appear.
FEMA spokesman David Mace said later that FEMAs parent agency, the Department of Homeland Security, has a long-standing policy that its employees dont testify before non-federal legislative bodies.
He also said the states formal appeal of a FEMA regional office denial of full funding for a new culvert in Townshend is pending at the agencys Washington headquarters, so it would not have been proper for FEMA officials to testify now in Montpelier.
Those testifying Wednesday argued that with the more severe flooding thats becoming a feature of an era with a changing climate, it would be foolish to rebuild culverts to a decades-old standard.
These culverts have proved to be inadequate. They blew out, said David Weinstein, a policy adviser with Sen. Bernie Sanders office. Why would be use federal tax dollars to build inadequate infrastructure? It makes no sense.
If the state wins its current appeal to FEMA, it could provide Townshend with an estimated extra $100,000 to upgrade the culvert destroyed by Irene in August 2011. Statewide, towns collectively could get roughly an extra $8 million for culvert upgrades if FEMA agrees to support the newer standards.
Mace said FEMA had agreed to some culvert upgrades nearly $6 million worth but was not aiming for the standards set by the state Agency of Natural Resources in 2006.
Mace said FEMA will pay for upgrades to meet new required standards, but will not do so because they are discretionary.
Deputy Transportation Secretary Susan Minter said FEMA was misinterpreting Vermonts standards in concluding they are not uniformly enforced. She said staff from the state environmental agency visit the sites of new culverts to ensure each is designed for its specific setting. But she added that all are required to meet specific minimum standards to be awarded the required stream alteration permit.
We have a state standard and it is universally applied ...

Chapter 71 Reviews
The return to the magical lands.
Disclaimer: Blah-blah
Avoiding Dumbledore and the population of the school wasn't a simple task...But a quick invisibility charm and a fairy keeping it up certainly helped.
He was trying more to avoid Dumbledore's questions about his Diadem then the awkward apologizing of the Hogwarts students especially Hermione...He couldn't blame her emotions, he did for all intents and purposes appear to be the cause.
He sighed stalking through a dark corridor for what seems to be the five hundredth time this week...The school year was so close to done he couldn't wait to be honest.
He stopped when he heard knocking, he looked around before finding the source...A small broom cupboard.
Harry raised an eyebrow kneeling down and unlocking the cupboard and opening only to reveal a young nude first year.
He blushed brightly as he found the sandy blonde girl looking at him curiously. "Hello, Harry Potter." She said with a dreamy smile before climbing out, the boy stumbling out of the way standing up with her.
"Erm...." He was quiet just staring in confusion. "W-What...Happened to your clothes?" The girl shrugged. "Some of the old girls took them and put me in the cupboard." She smiled dreamily, not seeming to be effected by it.
Harry frowned to himself, removing his heavy robe and draping it over her nude body, not noticing her surprised but grateful face as he turned away and called for Bella to go find her clothes.
Silence dominated as Harry tried to keep his eyes everywhere but her. "...You have Nargles in your hair." The female finally said, the boy instantly going up to his hair trying to find these offending creatures.
"I do?" He said in a worried tone, he didn't like strange creatures much...Not since one of the Minotaurs locked him in a maze for three days.
The girl seemed...Surprised he expressed legitimate concern for the creatures. "Oh yes, they like to flock around brooders."
This made the Potter heir pout. "I'm not brooding.." He'd grumble weakly, folding his arms.
"She's sorry you know." Came her amused voice, making him look to her in confusion. "The girl with puffy brown hair." She made a gesture with her hands to show "puffy" hair and unknowingly exposing her body again to Harry making him curse softly and turn his head away blushing.
"How do you know?" He said quietly...Hopeful that his friend was really sorry for what happened. Luna just smiled, reaching out to give Harry's hand a little squeeze, making him jump a bit. "Oh she is, I heard her crying a few times...When I asked what was wrong, she just babbled and I couldn't hear." She said a bit sadly, frowning.
Harry sighed, running his fingers over his hair, fingers brushing over Ravenclaw's Diadem hidden by his magic. "I'd suggest you talk to her before going to Celdrasyl...She surely can't chase you there begging to be forgiven."
Harry blinked looking at her in surprised...Few humans knew of the realms existence, let alone knew who was there. Luna only smiled at him..."My mother was an elfin friend." She said quietly, looking her head down unconsciously, wounds still not healed.
Harry shook his head, running a hand through his hair. "...What's your name, daughter of elf friend?" He said a bit teasingly, folding his arms as Bella popped in with the girl's clothes. Luna smiled taking the clothes and removing his robe to get dressed in front of him immodestly.
"Luna...Luna Lovegood."
By the time he had arrived to Celdrasyl, he had been swarmed by at least three groups of humans...One was press, one was the sea of redheads that was the Weasley family which only made him further uncomfortable considering the glares the Weasley boy kept giving him.
The last was the Granger family in which he was promptly intimidated by the her father, while he was sure he could beat him in a fight magical or otherwise...But he didn't want to do that to -Hermione's- father, that would just be embarrassing.
However he was thankful of an Elf man who grabbed his shoulder and teleported them away from the human realm back to Albion...The only place he really felt -safe-. He looked up at the elf male to find a decently handsome young elf, short snipped black hair and a neat beard gracing his bird-like features.
"T-Thank you, sir." He stuttered out in Elven, cursing his rustiness with the language, just speaking Elf spells doesn't mean you keep up with the language. The man merely smiled kneeling down, the boy now getting a view of his silver and black robes.
"Do not worry, young Harry...Faeron had chosen me to be your guardian until a time you do not need me." He said in a bit of a sad tone, offering his hand to the boy. "Kelrin, High Sorcerer of the West." Harry took the hand bowing deeply. "Honored Greetings, keeper of the mountains.."
Kelrin shook his head, pulling his hand back. "Save the formality, young one...There's no need for it here." He said kindly, leading up up the great tree towards Faeron's old home Kelrin stopped at the door frowning.
"Lord Faeron had left this house, among other things, to you in the event of his death...I require your permission to enter." Harry blinked in surprised stumbling out his permission awkwardly, Kelrin smiled entering and guiding him to the sitting room.
"Now Harry...I'm afraid, you won't be returning to Hogwarts." He sighed getting straight to the point.
"What?! Why not?" Harry almost stood up, gripping his armrests tightly as he glared at the elf man, who sighed scratching his head. "...Faeron commanded you stay here in Albion for a little while, just three years...You'll attend the Acadium Arcadium here in Albion."
Harry blinked...The Acadium was where the sorcerer's of the people of Celdrasyl was sent to study magic. Elf, Dwarf, Satyr, Fey...Just to name a few of the races that attended it's magical halls.
Kelrin gave awkward smile. "Ahem...There is one thing, however. The bonding contracts set up..."
Harry groaned, running his fingers through his hair. "Well?" He grumbled, he knew he'd have to marry while still in school, it was just normal for the people of Albion...Didn't make it anyless uncomfortable. Kelrin smirked a bit, folding his arms.
"Currently, the only agreed to contracts were to Thaness Kihna Audrysdaughter, Arielle Del'drysa and finally, Fluer and Gabrielle Delacour." Harry rested his forehead on the table, sighing deeply as the elf smiled.
"But currently, the Veela are being prepared for the bonding ritual so you won't be able to see them until next year...However Thaness Kihna is needing her Thane immediately and, well..."
"I have to bond to her first then?" At the elf's nod, he sighed nodding accepting his fate.
"You will have to live in the Dwarven City of Kel'drahn for the duration of the summer, King Huffar gave his...Incredibly eager approval and has started preparing the Dwarven wedding ceremony and party."
Harry just sighed.
Harry couldn't help but wonder what god decided to start fucking with him...To put crudely at least, he was the first human to enter the Dwarven city of countless centuries (Well, it was countable but he didn't feel like asking.)
And it was to marry the head of one of the Dwarf clans...He panicked when he realized that, despite his human heritage if the King gave his approval he'd become Thane of the Clan and essentially a dwarf in all but size and blood.
That concept wasn't nearly as terrifying for the boy as his future wife was...He swallowed when he met her, she was the head of the Ironas'Bowen...Or Ironborne in English. One of the largest warrior clans with a code of honor and rituals that ran so deep he was sure they had an honorable way to take a piss.
He certainly expect a intimidating woman...He wasn't disappointed. She was beautiful, he'd admit firm, toned body that's just as well endowed as any Dwarf woman, tanned skin from time in sunlight, likely training in combat.
Long brown hair tied into a tight braid, a small scar graced her cheek keeping a otherwise perfect face from absolute perfection. To say the boy felt nervous, would be a understatement.
He swallowed thickly, smiling a bit shyly at her as he entered her residence in the Dwarven city. "You don't need to be nervous..." She said kindly, giving him a strangely soft smile. "I don't bite...Hard at least." She said idly, smiling triumphantly at the bright blush.
"I-It's just...I didn't expect the head of a clan to..." He lowered his head. "Wish to marry a human?" At his nod, she sighed swirling the glass of water one of the servants have given her as they rest on the strangely comfortable stone like furniture.
"...I have heard of you from visiting diplomats, they spoke only what a kind boy you are...How polite, noble and strong you are." She smirked deviously as she pressed to embarrass him further. "And that fairy of yours wouldn't be silent about your fight with a -Basilisk-, Harry you're one of a kind."
She chuckled softly. "...I though I'd treat you better then other dwarf women after your hand and have more to offer." She looked down slightly. "Besides...I needed to marry to have a Thane, less my clan be claimed by another."
"I felt you'd be a kinder husband then one of my own kind." She finished, looking at him from the corner of her eyes. "...I'm sorry for what it's worth but I will attempt to make myselfo f use to you, husband."
Harry shook his head quickly, sighing. "J-Just Harry...I-I think you shouldn't presume just yet, we'll have to see what happens." She wouldn't admit it...Dwarven pride wouldn't allow it, but she did feel strangely comforted by his smile.
The Dwarven wedding was just as one would expect...Once the honorable ceremony was finished, partying and drinking await. The ceremony was stiff...Endless oaths both she and he had to swear.
He swore to honor her clan and family, to provide her a comfortable life, give her a strong heir, endless love and affection and never raise his hand to her.
She swore to honor his wishes and actions, to stand at his side, bare him a strong heir, love him endlessly and never draw a sword to her....Oddly specific he'd wonder later.
Once the ceremony was done, they were escorted out by an elf man when the party began...While they were married in Dwarf terms, they had to be bond in Elf terms.
Harry swallowed nervously, glancing at his...Wife? Bondmate? He really couldn't decide what to call her, the elves smiled comfortingly at him as they guide them into the circle.
"What...Does this bonding entail?" The Dwarf woman said carefully, while she doubted that the elves would harm them...That didn't stop her from being cautious, she did swear to love him part of that included being incredibly protective...At least for Dwarves it did.
"It will bond your spirits together." A elf woman answered, looking between them. "You will be able to know each other's location at all times and...Feel each other better." At their confused eyebrow raise, she only smiled in a "You will see" fashion...Which only set to annoy them.
"It will also ensure...That neither one of you will be unfaithful to each other without permission from your other." 'Or others' Harry added silently as he folded his arms sighing and nodding his agreence, a few moments later the dwarf agreed as well.
"Then let's begin." The elves made a circle around the pair instructing them to hold hands, Harry smiled shyly as they did blushing as her strong hands held his gently.
The Elves began chanting in Elvish, a glowing blue circle of magic appeared beneath them and Harry could -feel- the magic in the air as a golden starting lifts from their chests.
Harry swallowed staring into the dwarf's eyes silently, her honey eyes unreadable as they stared back. He licked his lips as they dried with his nerves, shifting awkwardly as the chanting continued, the two strains wrapping around each other glowing brightly before becoming a single strain.
They both gasped, Harry stumbling into her arms as they felt the rush of emotions from eachother, quickly setting up mental shields to block it as best they could. Harry swallowed able to feel the Dwarf's power...Magically, she wasn't much but she likely could kill any wizard.
For the Dwarf however, it was much different...She could feel an almost endless sea of power in the boy and that's without even considering the crown upon his brown, considering it the power was overwhelming as her knees buckled under her only to be caught by Harry, helping her stand.
They stared at each other unblinkingly, swallowed thickly as Harry moved down kissing her plush lips gently making her gasp in his mouth her strong arms wrapping around his thin waist pulling him in firmly as she deepened the kiss...Suddenly, she believed the vows would be true.

A good number of people are terribly disappointed by Elysium. I feel for them, I really do. It sucks when a movie doesn't live up to your expectations. I'm less sympathetic to weak attempts at arguments as to why a movie didn't work for a given group of viewers, and tend to think that with the subjective nature of watching, it easy to fall into the trap of thinking that because a lot of people are making the same criticisms of a movie, then those criticisms surely must be pretty much objectively true and designate the movie as a bad one. I don't buy it. Sometimes the standards people set for a movie are kind of bullshitty, and I think this is happening with Elysium right now.
That's not to say that the criticisms are necessarily invalid, or that Elysium is necessarily an outstanding movie. There are aspects of it I found particularly strong—things others have pointed out, the production design and the lead performance by Matt Damon, not to mention the force of nature that is Sharlto Copley—but others that I was less enamored with. It may simply come down to a half-glass evaluation. My position is simply that there are counterarguments to be made toward some of the beefs people had with the movie, and my philosophy is that is a reasonable explanation can be given to alleviate a perceived weakness in a movie, that's enough to tip the scales back in the direction of positive evaluation. That could just be naïve relativism, but I'm sticking to it for now.
Here are the 7 weakest criticisms I've been reading about Elysium so far, and why they don't necessarily hold up.
Continue reading on the next page…
1) We didn't learn enough about Elysium itself
Virtually every review I've read that is less than positive toward Elysium laments the fact that the world of Elysium, the space station inhabited by the socioeconomic elites of the future, is gorgeously imagined and designed, but remains elusive to the audience. They wanted to know more about this world, what its people were like, what they do all day, what the rest of their homes are like outside of the Med-Pods, what their political and social infrastructure is, and probably whether they poo or not. There is truth to this criticism. We don't know much at all about what life on Elysium is like, and are left wanting to know more. It seems too good to be true.
This is the most common complaint I've heard from writers and is also the most flimsy. In fact, I would tout this as one of Elysium's strengths: it remains consistent in its solidarity with the perspective of those on Earth. It's this perspective that seems to have left a lot of people cold and disappointed, and indeed one of the least appreciated tactics of modern film, and I don't entirely understand why. It would seem many viewers want to see a movie as an objective take on its story. But in the same way The Great Gatsby inhabited the character of Gatsby and Man of Steel took on the character of Superman, like really embodied the subjective attributes of these characters, Elysium takes on the perspective of the Max character played by Damon, or at the very least the perspective of the Earth-dwellers as a whole. So Elysium is appropriately out of our reach, just as it is for those on Earth. We don't get to know much about it, other than the fact that it houses the wealthiest of the wealthy and it has these magic healing pods, because that's exactly what those still on Earth learn about it from a young age. I know it would have been nice to experience this alternate world more, but that yearning puts us squarely in the shoes of the underdogs of this movie.

2) The villains are too one-dimensional
This might be the second most predominant criticism I've come across, and while I consider it to carry slightly more water than criticism number 1, I still have to return to the issue of perspective. I know it would be nice to really dig into Jodie Foster and William Fichtner's characters, to truly understand their psyches and motivations and what their childhoods were like and what traumas or impactful moments could have led them to the people they are in the film's present, but not only is that not this movie's concern, it's a necessary consequence of putting the audience, us, in the mindset of the impoverished, desperate, and justifiably resentful people of Earth.
It's no different than a novel being told in the first person limited point of view, except that we don't get to hear the character's inner monologue. But we do see everything from their perspective like we would in a novel, and that means that the villains are presented as villains, without sympathy or too much exploration. Of course there are complicated factors that go into present-day real-life scenarios where the wealthy could easily use their resources to provide healthcare and assistance to underprivileged people, but ultimately, if you're one of the people in desperate need of help and capable people are unwillingly to give it, isn't it more like that you'll be less concerned with their circumstances than you are with your own? It's limited thinking that turns these others into aliens, essentially, but that's precisely the point.

3) The social commentary is thin, confused, lacks a coherent message, etc.
Many seem to be disappointed that director Neill Blomkamp doesn't seem to be making a clear point about economic inequality, or immigration, or healthcare, or whatever it is. At least not the way he did in District 9! The problem for me is I don't exactly remember a clear message being provided in District 9 either other than Apartheid suuuuucked and stuff. Neither story is a clear allegory where each thing is supposed to represent another real thing nor a parable meant to teach us a lesson.
The point of the social backdrops of each film seems to be in service of the story, as a way of imagining a representation of obstacles the heroes are forced to overcome, and presenting them in a way that's relevant to our current cultural climate. Those looking for a larger point are going to be dissatisfied, yes. It's a different movie they're hoping for, and I hope they find that movie one day. This movie's strengths come in the sense that many of history's problems that revolve around human beings being shitty to one another are cyclical, repeating in numerous variations over and over, and essentially all coming down to a question of who gets to call the shots and possess as much power as they possibly can. I know that sci-fi is celebrated for its allegorical tendencies and creating worlds that are alien to us to illuminate things about our world that are difficult to address directly, but I'm perfectly fine with this movie functioning in contrast to these conventions. It's more about story and setting. I did like that most of the residents of future California are some varying shade of brown.

4) It wasn't as good as/is too similar to District 9
For anyone who liked District 9 more than Elysium, I happily invite you to go ahead and rewatch District 9. It's an absolutely fantastic film, probably better than Elysium by any rubric. Those who found Elysium and District 9 too similar, I would say…go rewatch District 9, because it's seriously such an awesome movie that I can't say enough good things about, but also because the similarities between the two are mostly superficial. The former criticism I find weak because bemoaning the fact that a particular work isn't as good as a filmmaker's previous work is unhelpful and usually banal and a giveaway that the critic's expectations greatly hindered his or her assessment of a new piece of work; the latter I find boring because it's easy to identify similarities between an artist's series of works and more difficult and rewarding and exciting to identify the areas in which they've developed, grown, improved, built upon and discovered for themselves.
In the case of Elysium, it's a movie of a completely different tone and scope compared to District 9. Although the action centers on Los Angeles, there is a far greater sense that the struggle carries implications for the entire Earth, making it a global scale fight. Furthermore, in the service of whatever social themes one wants to draw from each film, it's far easier to stomach aliens treating humans like animals compared to the apathy and malice that causes the same kind of treatment by the Elysians. Add to this that Matt Damon's Max character undergoes a wonderfully subtle transformation compared to Wikus in District 9; he basically remains the same person throughout until the very conclusion, his last moment in fact. While I, too, would like to see Blomkamp explore some newer territory, dismissing his films as too similar misses out on some fascinating differences.

5) The action is poorly done
Wouldn't you know it, a lot of people didn't like the so-called "shakycam" employed by Elysium. And the cutting was too fast. And I'm sure there are plenty of other meaningless things people say in place of just "I was bored." It's totally acceptable to be bored in a movie. I still maintain that identifying the source of that boredom is crucial, and is often misidentified as springing from the actual substance of the movie.
But anyway. This is one grievance that makes little sense to me. For one thing, the action in this movie does not seem like the movie's primary focus the way it is for a lot of other sci-fi movies. There didn't even seem to be that many action sequences necessarily, but small intense moments of fighting every now and then, and a general feeling of unease and menace that violence could break out at any moment. That's not the same as action. The Copley villain character in particular does a lot of sinister stuff but doesn't actually spend of a lot of time fighting. It's more of a slow burn type of action that builds towards a climax. When there is a lot of rapid movement and fighting, I found the camerawork to be clearer than most action movies, with longer shots that were taken at really high speeds with fast motion, maintaining a sense of frantic chaos without relying on cutting quite so quickly. Maybe my impression of it was anomalous, but even so, the main thrust of the film seems less reliant on action than on tension and suspense and drama.

6) Jodie Foster's accent is weird
Yeah, I found it weird too. Her whole performance is weird. She seems like kind of a weird person. If this was just one of many awkward things about the movie—the way it was with the bizarre dialect of After Earth, which had a host of other weird elements that got in the way of being able to simply enjoy the story and action—I'd find it an acceptable point to be made. It's a worthwhile observation, but it's the value judgment I find less convincing. Everyone in the Elysium world seems to have weird accents. A lot of people on Earth have weird accents too. Is this something that really requires an explanation? Foster's character and her people have a weird Francophilia thing going on too. It shows they're pretentious twats. I take no issue with this. I can relate to pretentious twats demonstrating Francophilia (and not just Calvin Candie).
I was far more concerned with the less than perfect dubbing of her lines. Lots of dialogue in movies are looped, redubbed for better sound, replaced in post-production, but Foster's words were pretty frequently misaligning with her mouth. This makes me curious as to what technological fixes they were hoping to make, and what they were replacing. Maybe the accent was a late addition. I'm curious as to why, but this seems more like a minor quibble than a crack in the movie's foundation.

7) We've seen too many dystopian movies this year
It may be true that a lot of movies from this summer, such as After Earth, Oblivion, and now Elysium, are variations on a theme that future Earth is uninhabitable or unrecognizable and the civilization that's replaced it is corrupt or stuck with the same problems of current Earth. I get the fatigue. I feel your pain. But to me, this is more an example of poorly timed release than objective quality of the film. Of the three mentioned, and there may be more of this genre this year that are escaping my memory presently, Elysium is the strongest and most compelling by quite a lot.
That may not be saying all that much. And this whole list, again, is not trying to make the case for Elysium being a spectacular movie by any means. It simply seemed to me like a solid summer sci-fi film, one released in a month where judgments of films tend to be much harsher and less patient than films released in May. I'll wait and see what Neill Blomkamp goes on to do in the years to come before determining what he's capable of, and where this movie fits in his filmographic oeuvre. But for god's sake, let's just cool the jets on jumping all over a film's flaws and finding a conclusive evaluative measure for it, can't we? Maybe observe what we liked and didn't like about it with a little less conviction and certainty and rigidity? Because as far as I'm concerned, if an equal case can be made for an aspect of a movie being terrible versus being sound, I'm going to favor the side defending its strengths rather than the one brandishing the knives, especially when the criteria being used is nearly impossible for most films to live up to. I don't like seeing things as that bleak. But more importantly, I think it does a disservice to the evaluation and discussion of current movies that can simply be mildly entertaining and interesting rather than either awesome or terrible.

He's been out of a job since the Giants cut him loose earlier this offseason when they purged a few veterans, but he's been talking closely with the Indianapolis Colts lately, with the two sides seeming to get closer and closer to a deal. But the Patriots and Bill Belichick love their running backs and Bradshaw could step in and be the closest thing to a featured back the Patriots have seen in some time.
A contract may not be close to being agreed upon, but Belichick knows what he wants and gets it when he wants it. If Bradshaw is really on the Patriots radar, that may end up being where he lands come training camp this summer.

Longtime Lincoln East High School swimming and diving coach Greg Fleming will lead Nebraska Wesleyan University's new swimming program.
In June, the university announced the addition of swimming as a varsity sport in the 2014-2015 school year. When competition begins, NWU will have the state's only collegiate men's swimming program.
"Nebraska Wesleyan prides itself in providing a positive educational experience to our student-athletes, and this will enable us to do so for an additional group of students," said Ira Zeff, director of athletics. "I am confident that our new swim teams will continue to add to the rich tradition of excellence that Nebraska Wesleyan athletics is known for."
NWU swimmers will utilize the six-lane, 25-yard swimming pool, located in the Marion and Marian Weary Health and Fitness Center. Nebraska Wesleyan will participate in NCAA Division III varsity competitions, and will be able to host meets at its campus pool. The program will not include diving.
"The addition of men's and women's swimming provides yet another opportunity for our students to compete in intercollegiate athletics while experiencing a fine liberal arts education," said President Fred Ohles. "We have a rich history of producing successful student athletes both in and outside of the classroom, and I look forward to seeing that success continue."
The addition of men's and women's swimming brings the total number of NWU varsity sports to 20, with approximately 25 percent of the student body participating in intercollegiate athletics.
NWU athletes have earned numerous academic and athletic honors including 140 Academic All-America Awards — ranking eighth among all schools at all levels — and 45 NCAA Postgraduate Scholarships.
Fleming most recently coached swimming and diving at Lincoln East High School for the past 29 years. He had a combined dual record of 496-32, winning two state championships and nine state runner-up finishes. He had a combined 94 state individual/relay event state champions and coached 35 All-Americans. In 2012 he was named Nebraska Swimming Coaches Association Boys Coach of the Year and has twice been named Swimming Coach of the Year by the Nebraska Coaches Association.

Nigerians job stampedes have killed 16 people. On Sunday, half a million Nigerian men and women tried to apply for 4,556 jobs offered by the government's immigration department. One of five Nigerian job stampedes, which occurred at the Abuja National Stadium in the Nigerian capital Abuja, involved 65,000 job applicants, but the stadium has only one entrance. According to a March 16, 2014, The Guardian report, Nigeria's Interior Minister Abba Moro said after the fatal stampede that the young people "lost their lives through their impatience" because they did not conduct themselves "orderly" when they jumped through the fences to get into the stadium to take their job recruitment test.
In contrast to Moro's statement, the Education Rights Campaign is saying that inviting 65,000 people into the Abuja National Stadium which has only one entrance and is designed to hold 60,000 people, was negligent.
The Nigerians job stampede at the Abuja National Stadium took the lives of seven people. In four other locations including Minna, Port Harcourt, Dutse and Benin City, at least nine other people died.
Even though Nigeria has Africa's second biggest economy with oil filling the pockets of the rich, the country's unemployment rate is at 24 percent, which leaves 41 million out of 170 million without a job. The unemployment rate for young people under the age of 24 is estimated to be at 38 percent. When the Nigerian government offered 4,556 jobs for the immigration department, half a million people applied.
Following the Nigerians job stampedes, Olisa Metuh, spokesman of Nigeria's ruling People's Democratic party, commented that "we are shocked and deeply saddened by the news of the untimely death of the young citizens who were at the exercise not only to secure jobs but to be allowed the opportunity to contribute towards the development of the nation." Education Rights Campaign activists are saying that the government should refund the $3 million it collected from the desperate job applicants and fire Nigeria's Interior Minister Abba Moro.

text: Critically important information here. CRITICAL. And, when Black women speak of our experiences, it is NOT to devalue Black men speaking their truths or White women speaking their truths, though often times us barely opening our mouths is interpreted as such. It's solely because of an intersectional analysis of our experiences reveal that while there are experiences we share due to shared race and shared gender, there are ones unique to Black women, that of course further delineate when other axes of oppression are considered.

Asbestos Violations at Auburn Residence Results in $20,725 Penalty for New Hampshire-based Realty Trust
BOSTON - The Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection (MassDEP) has assessed a $20,725 penalty to Arraho Realty Trust of Nashua, N.H. for failing to follow asbestos removal procedures required by MassDEP regulations on a project in Auburn.
During a February 2011 inspection, MassDEP inspectors observed asbestos-containing siding shingles being improperly removed from a vacant residential structure located on Perry Street in Auburn. The shingles were being removed without any attempt to minimize breakage or to carefully lower them to the ground. During the inspection, MassDEP observed numerous dry, shattered asbestos-containing shingles uncontained on the ground
MassDEP regulations require asbestos-containing siding shingles to be removed wet, with adequate precautions taken to minimize breakage, carefully lowering them to the ground and sealing the asbestos waste while wet into leak-tight containers that have appropriate asbestos warning labels affixed to them. These work procedures, which were not being followed, are critical measures designed to prevent a release of asbestos fibers to the environment, to protect building occupants and the general public from exposure to asbestos fibers and to preclude other parts of the building from becoming contaminated.
Under the terms of a negotiated settlement, the company must pay $6,500 of the assessed penalty, and MassDEP has agreed to suspend the remaining $14,225 provided that the Trust does not have repeat violations for one year.
"Property owners should either hire licensed asbestos contractors for this type of work or comply with the removal, handling, packaging and storage requirements that must be followed when dealing with asbestos-containing siding themselves," said Lee Dillard Adams, director of MassDEP's Central Regional Office in Worcester. "Asbestos is a known carcinogen and following prescribed regulatory work practices is imperative to protect the health of workers and the general public, as well as the environment. Failure to do so will result in penalties, as well as escalated cleanup, decontamination and monitoring costs."
Property owners or contractors with questions about asbestos-containing materials, notification requirements, proper removal, handling, packaging, storage and disposal procedures or the asbestos regulations are encouraged to contact the appropriate MassDEP Regional Office for assistance.
MassDEP is responsible for ensuring clean air and water, safe management and disposal of solid and hazardous wastes, timely cleanup of hazardous waste sites and spills, and the preservation of wetlands and coastal resources.
