'Halloween 3' News, 'Halloween II' Alternate Ending
Halloween II might have been a slight step up from the 2007 remake, but the trajectory of the series is nevertheless a bit depressing. Rob Zombie is probably on the hook for most of it, since he wrote and directed both films. But he had an unbelievably quick turnaround this last time: They started shooting in April, only a few months after Zombie decided to come back for round two. And it was released in August. There's no margin for error with a scheule like that...and there were a lot of errors in the movie. Bad combo.
The Weinstein Company still made money, though, because the film was made so inexpensively, so it almost immediately announced plans for a third movie in the franchise, not recognizing that the same kind of move doomed Halloween II before it ever got off the ground. Then TWC put it on hold for a few weeks, and it re-emerged as a future project for My Bloody Valentine director Patrick Lussier, which is the best-case scenario.
Now, Bloody Disgusting says that the studio is accepting pitches for a "new angle" for the third Michael Myers movie, and because Lussier and Valentine writer Todd Farmer are busy working on the Nic Cage action pic Drive Angry, they might be out of the loop now. That hasn't been confirmed by the studio, but if Bob Weinstein has sent word out that he wants new story ideas, it could be bad news for Farmer, and that could keep Lussier from coming on board. And since it's already been announced that the threequel will be in 3-D, you'd like to have the guy who made My Bloody Valentine over just about anyone else working in the horror genre. Yep, it looks like they've sure got this one figured out over at Casa Weinstein.
In other Halloween news, an alternate ending to the second film has made its way online. I'm guessing this is probably from the DVD, but I don't care enough to check. It should be enough that I struggled through the whole video. It's certainly not any better than the one Zombie used, but when a movie barely scrabbles together a beginning or a middle, what do you expect?
Poor Brad Dourif.

August 2012:
How to promote civil liberties during the congressional recess
What you can do:
- Attend a Town Hall meeting or other public event
- Visit your representative's office
- Organize a public action
- Study suggested talking points to sharpen your advocacy
Attend a Town Hall Meeting
Step 1: Find your members of Congress, including both senators and your representative in the House
Step 2: Check the websites of your representatives for information about any public events they may have scheduled during the August recess. Often, these events are included in "News and Events" sections of their websites. Not all members of Congress schedule public events during the in-district period, but many do. If you don't see any events posted, call up your local office and ask if there are any scheduled events.
Step 3: Determine what action(s) may be appropriate given the type of event. For a Town Hall meeting at which the representative will accept questions, prepare 2-3 questions about the NDAA, the JUSTICE Act, and/or ERPA (see talking points below) that can be asked in a public forum and will require a direct response. At a public speech without opportunities for questions, you may want to instead make some large signs to express your concerns.
Step 4: Let us know what you are planning, and invite press to your event by writing a press advisory. Since your representative has organized the event, there will likely already be press there. You want to make sure they are interested in writing about the issues you want to emphasize. By issuing a press release to local media, you can direct their attention to these issues specifically, helping to shape the press you see as a result. Capture the event on video whenever possible and distribute a link from your Youtube account to the same press outlets as soon as possible to follow-up on the event.
Step 5: Let us know how your event went by filling out a short survey We can write about your action on our blog, helping to ensure that it reaches an audience beyond your local community.
Visit your representative's office
Step 1: Find your members of Congress, including both senators and your representative in the House.
Step 2: Call the district offices nearest you and ask to schedule a meeting with your represenative. If the member is not available, ask to meet with a legislative aide who addresses civil rights issues, congressional oversight, or votes on matters referred to the Judiciary Committee. Introduce yourself as a constituent and offer your name and address.
Step 3: Don't go alone. Invite a few (at least 2, or as many as 10) like-minded friends and neighbors in your congressional district to join you at the meeting. Meetings with congressional representatives can be important leadership-building opportunities for members of your group, or neighbors who share your concerns. They can also present outreach opportunities to engage alliedroganizations inyour community.
Step 4: Prepare. Before the meeting, review the issues and prepare yourself. Start with the talking points listed below.
Step 5: Check past votes. Research how your members of Congress voted on the 2012/2013 NDAA, so you can either thank them for their vote supporting the Smith-Amash amendment or share your disappointment that they failed to support your constitutional rights. In addition, research how they have voted on reauthorizing the PATRIOT Act, which may help suggest their attitudes towards JUSTICE or ERPA.
Step 6: Meet with your elected officials to share your recommendations. Arrive on time and dress professionally. At the meeting, always be respectful and polite—even with representatives who oppose your interests. Outline your requests:
- Vote NO on versions of the NDAA that do not affirmatively eliminate the domestic military detention powers of the 2011 NDAA. Amendments offered by Reps. Smith (D-WA) & Amash (R-MI), as well as standalone legislation sponsored by Rep. Garamendi (D-CA) offer the most effective protections. Several proposed alternatives, including an amendment by Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX) adopted by the House, actually make the NDAA's detention provisions even worse while claiming to fix them.
- Support the JUSTICE Act. The JUSTICE Act would reform the USA PATRIOT Act, the FISA Amendments Act and other surveillance authorities to protect Americans' constitutional rights, while preserving the powers of our government to fight terrorism. It is easily the most aggressive proposal in Congress to roll back executive power.
- Support the End Racial Profiling Act (ERPA). ERPA was first introduced in 2001, and was set to pass with bipartisan support before the attacks of 9/11 derailed the bill. ERPA would make it illegal for federal, state, or local law enforcement to profile based on race, religion, ethnicity, or national origin. In the wake of controversial programs such as NYPD's ineffective "Stop and Frisk" program that threatens to extend to other municipalities, Arizona's SB 1070 provision aimed at profiling Latinos/as, and the profiling of Muslim, Arab and South Asian individuals since 9/11 , Congress is long overdue to enact ERPA and put an end to racial profiling, once and for all.
Step 7: Ask for a response. Make a specific request and proactively seek a direct response. Do not just say "we want Represenative X to support civil liberties." Instead, consider asking "Will Representative X suppor the Civil Liberties Act, HR 5936? See below for further talking points.
Step 8: After your meeting, complete this short survey to let us know how your meetings went. Getting that information will help BORDC to do crucial advocacy work to restore our most fundamental rights. Make sure your voice is counted!
Step 9: Follow up. Write a letter in response to your conversation. Ask whether the aide you met with needs further information, or has any further information to share with you.
Organize a public action
This tactic can be useful if (a) your representative does not respond to requests to meet with you or (b) your representative has a track record of voting against civil liberties and will likely not be swayed by an individual meeting. This tactic is not necessarily useful if your representative has voted to support civil liberties in the past and you are working to build a stronger relationship with him or her.
For more information on choosing and executing tactics, check out our toolkit for local civil rights campaigns, pages 11-20.
Step 1: Decide what type of action you would like to organize. Some examples include flyering, holding a rally, organizing a silent vigil, hosting a forum or teach-in, or performing a guerrilla theater action. Check out our toolkit for more ideas about creative tactics. Some factors to take into consideration when deciding on a tactic include:
- How many people will we need to make this action successful? Is it possible to turn that many people out for this action?
- How can we make this action creative and interesting enough for the media to want to cover it?
- What action will deliver the strongest message to our representative? What action will deliver the strongest message to passers-by?
Step 2: Invite your friends, and their friends, and their friends. Figure out a target number of people to have at your action, and invite three or four times that amount. Create a facebook event, make personal phone calls to people you know might be interested, publicize at other local events and on bulletin boards in your community. Many local businesses are willing to put up signs in their windows as well. We can help by sending a blast email to supporters in your area if you let us know the time, date, and details of your event.
Step 3: Write a press release. Learn more about writing press releases and view an example in our Grassroots Toolkit on page 32.
Step 4: Make a specific request and proactively seek a direct response. Do not just say "we want Represenative X to support civil liberties." Instead, consider asking "Will Representative X suppor the Civil Liberties Act, HR 5936? See below for further talking points.
Step 5: After your event, let us how it went and send a follow – up email to any members of the press that were not able to attend.
Study suggested talking points to sharpen your advocacy
BORDC recommends that you ask your representatives to:
- Repeal the indefinite detention provisions of the NDAA
- Co-sponsor the JUSTICE Act, which would fix surveillance and other abuses under the PATRIOT Act, as well as the 2008 FISA (Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act) Amendments Act.
- Co-sponsor the End Racial Profiling Act (ERPA)
NDAA (National Defense Authorization Act)
- Elevator Pitch: The military should not be allowed to indefinitely detain people within the US without trial. The right to trial is among the most fundamental principles of our Constitution.
- Don't let them fool you: Congress' attempts to limit domestic military detention, such as Section 1021(e) of the 2012 NDAA, or the Gohmert Amendment to the 2013 NDAA approved by the House, do not meaningfully limit executive power. Whether the executive branch has the power to detain individuals within the US, including US citizens, should not remain ambiguous (as it does under the 2012 NDAA), nor should it depend on habeas corpus, as it does under the Gohmert Amendment (which does not actually ensure freedom from arbitrary detention).
- The solution: Meaninginful protections from potential indefinite domestic military detention without trial were proposed by Reps. Smith (D-WA) and Amash (R-MI) as an amendment to the NDAA, but they were rejected by the House in May 2012. Speararely, Re. Garamedi (D-CA) has intorduced the Civil Libterties Act (H.R. 5936) which is proceduraly independent of the NDAA reauthorization process.
- A specific request: Would you be willing to co-sponsor amendments to the 2013 National Defense Authorization Act modeled on the proposals by Representatives Smith (D-WA) and Amash (R-MI)? Alternatively, would you be willing to co-sponsor the Civil Liberties Act, H.R. 5936?
JUSTICE (Judicious Use of Surveillance Tools In Countering Extremism) Act
- Elevator Pitch: The JUSTICE Act would ensure that our government's "war on terror" also respects our Constitution. The JUSTICE Act, was authored by the only Senator to vote against the PATRIOT Act in 2001 (former Senator Russ Feingold, D-WI). The JUSTICE Act would fix many of the abuses, along with those of the 2008 FISA reforms that authorized the NSA's dragnet domestic syping program.
- Bulk collection by NSA: The JUSTICE Act would also prohibit bulk collection of electronic communications by the NSA under the illegal wiretapping provisions authorized by the FISA Amendments of 2008. However severe the threat of terrorism, it cannot possibly justify allowing our government to invade the privacy of every American's phone conversations and e-mail exchanges.
- Material support: The JUSTICE Act would prohibit bulk collection of electronic communications by the NSA under the unconstintutional wiretapping provisions authorized by the FISA Amendments of 2008. No security threat can justify our government recording every American's phone conversations and e-mail exchanges. Such unprecedented monitring undermines not only privacy, but also democracy.
- A specific request: Would you be willing to co-sponsor the JUSTICE Act? If not, would you be willing to vote for the bill on the floor of your chamber?
ERPA (End Racial Profiling Act)
- Elevator Pitch: The impact of pervasive bias is apparent throughout our nation's criminal justice system, which incarcerates 1 in 4 of the world's prisoners. To restore its legitimacy, Congressmust implement a federal measure to ensure protection from ethnic and idealogical profiling by local, state, and federal law enforecement agents.
- Background: Congress was expected to enact ERPA in 2001, until reaction to the 9/11 attacks squelched interest in addressing civil rights abuses. Since that time, profiling has emerged as an even broader problem impacting African-American communities, others targeted by anti-immigrant policies, and those targeted by the "war on terror."
- Public safety: Profiling undermines public safety by distracting police from investigating crimes, reducing incident reports from victims and witnesses, and reinforcing community distrust of police in general.
- Transparency: Beneficiaries of ERPA include law enforecement agencies. The bill's central proviions aim to help reveal potential profiling, which can help support the public and community relations efforts of police departments that do not engage in profiling.
- A specific request: would you be willing to co-sponsor ERPA? If not, would you be willing to vote for the bill on the floor of your chamber?

President Barack Obama used a rare appearance on a Sunday talk show one day before the nation hits the fiscal cliff to pin the blame on Republicans who "have had trouble saying yes."
With the prospects of a bipartisan agreement uncertain, Obama used the high-profile setting of NBC's "Meet the Press" to make his closing argument in the debate.
On a day of drama and uncertainty in Washington, he said he's negotiated in good faith, moved more than halfway to reach a grand bargain and angered Democrats with his concessions. But he said Republicans still refuse to strike a deal with him and hike rates on the richest taxpayers.
"They say that their biggest priority is making sure that we deal with the deficit in a serious way, but the way they're behaving is that their only priority is making sure that tax breaks for the wealthiest Americans are protected," Obama said. "That seems to be their only overriding, unifying theme."
In response House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) said it was the president who "has never been able to get to 'yes.'"
"Americans elected President Obama to lead, not cast blame," Boehner said in a statement. "The president's comments today are ironic, as a recurring theme of our negotiations was his unwillingness to agree to anything that would require him to stand up to his own party."
Obama's interview was an unusual foray into the world of Sunday shows -- the last time he appeared on "Meet the Press" was at the height of the health care debate -- and showed how keenly aware the White House is of the potential fallout if the nation goes over the cliff and the importance of keeping voters on its side.
The president even loosely quoted Abraham Lincoln, who once said that government rests on popular opinion. Obama made the point while talking about gun control, but it could just as easily apply to his strategy on the fiscal cliff.
"One of the things that you learn, having now been in this office for four years, is the old adage of Abraham Lincoln's," he said. "That with public opinion, there's nothing you can't do, and without public opinion, there's very little you can get done in this town."
Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) predicted that Obama would will get a "political victory" on the fiscal cliff -- if not immediately, then later.
"Hats off to the president," Graham said on "Fox News Sunday." "He stood his ground. He's going to get tax rate increases."
Graham also said Defense Secretary Leon Panetta told him on Saturday night that an attempt to pause the sequester will not be part of any deal.
Sen. John Barrasso (R-Wyo.) said on CNN's "State of the Union" that he spoke Sunday morning with senators working on a deal to avert the fiscal cliff, and they have yet to reach an agreement.
"We're trying to line up a Rubik's Cube right now, and we're not there yet," Barrasso said. "We're meeting later today. This is going to continue, I think, on until tomorrow."
(Also on POLITICO: The logic of House GOP intransigence)
If Senate leaders fail to strike a compromise that can pass Congress, the White House will gamble on its backup strategy -- that enough Republican lawmakers will consider it political suicide to prevent a vote on Obama's plan to extend tax cuts on income up to $250,000. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) is expected to call up the bill Monday, only hours before the deadline.
"Republicans will have to decide if they're going to block it, which will mean that middle-class taxes do go up," Obama said. "I don't think they would want to do that politically, but they may end up doing it."
Obama occupies the stronger position. Polls show that most voters won't blame him. If tax rates rise on all Americans, whatever Congress does in the new year will be considered a tax cut, opening a path for agreement with Republicans. That means Obama is likely to get what he wants on tax rates regardless of what happens before the deadline.
(Also on POLITICO: Silver lining: Delay in hitting debt limit)
Obama signaled in the interview that he would wait until the next Congress convenes later in the week to reopen the debate. Much would be left unresolved: unemployment benefits for 2 million Americans, rate hikes on investment income and inherited estates, business tax credits, across-the-board budget cuts known as the sequester, a rate cut for doctors who serve Medicare beneficiaries and the alternative minimum tax that hits middle-class families.
"If all else fails, if Republicans do in fact decide to block it so that taxes on middle-class families do in fact go up on January 1st, then we'll come back with a new Congress on January 4th, and the first bill that will be introduced on the floor will be to cut taxes on middle-class families," Obama said. "And I don't think the average person's going to say, 'Gosh, you know, that's a really partisan agenda on the part of either the president or Democrats in Congress.' I think people will say, 'That makes sense, because that's what the economy needs right now.'"
As long as the matter is resolved in the next few days or even the next week or two, most taxpayers may not know the difference.
But gridlock still comes at a significant cost for the president.
Even if Congress manages to approve a narrow deal on Monday, Obama's inability to reach a grand bargain that addresses taxes, spending and the debt limit means the economy may continue to limp along while he contends with a series of new fiscal cliffs over the next few months.
Obama already has said he won't let Republicans use the need to extend the country's borrowing limit by February as leverage for more budget cuts. But the GOP will still try -- on both the debt limit and the expiration of government funding in March.
So rather than focus on his second term priorities, such as immigration reform and gun control, Obama will be fighting the same battles that bogged down the past two years of his presidency. Obama has a narrow window to force action on immigration, a notoriously divisive issue, before memories of the 2012 election fade.
The same holds true with guns, which jumped to the top tier of the president's to-do list following the slaying of 20 young children and six adults at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn.
"I'd like to get it done in the first year," Obama said in the interview. "I will put forward a very specific proposal based on the recommendations that Joe Biden's task force is putting together as we speak. And so, this is not something that I will be putting off."
But most of Obama's appearance on the Sunday show was about pre-spinning failure on the fiscal cliff. He's been doing it for weeks, well aware of how he and his advisers failed to wage a vigorous enough public campaign during the 2011 debt limit showdown and suffered for it.
His appearance in the White House briefing room Friday was as much about laying blame as laying out his case for a bipartisan solution. If Washington pushes American taxpayers over the cliff, Obama wants them to think he had little to do with it.
He chastised members of Congress like they were his children, complaining that they always wait to do things at the last minute on everything and that they're trying everybody's patience.
Obama delivered a similar scolding message Sunday.
"So one way or another, we'll get through this," he said. "Do I wish that things were more orderly in Washington and rational, and people listened to the best arguments and compromised and operated in a more thoughtful and organized fashion? Absolutely. But when you look at history, that's been the exception rather than the norm."

Arizona is a week shy of going two months without measurable rain. Even still, our better irrigation system means we have a larger stockpile of water during times of drought, compared to our neighbors in California. And Arizona farmers stand to benefit.
"We're in a drought as well, however, we're in a little better shape than they are right now," said Arizona Farm Bureau President Kevin Rogers. He says just look to alfalfa and hay ... crops that go hand in hand with cattle.
"The alfalfa is used as one of the major feeds for the dairy, for the livestock folks," Rogers added.
But according to the University of California cooperative extension "many thousands of dollars spent for seed and field preparation have been lost ... causing livestock producers and horse owners to purchase hay that would normally not be needed over the fall and winter period."
"They're [California feed growers] going to get it wherever it comes from and fortunately we're going to continue to have enough water here to grow our normal supply it sounds like," Rogers said.
Mesa alfalfa grower Mark Freeman says the demand for feed is high.
"With our hot, dry conditions we're able to get extra cuttings now," Freeman said.
He went on to say that the California alfalfa and hay brokers know it.
"A lot of hay brokers come over from that area," Freeman said. "They're willing to pay higher for the hay to get it over to feed their dairies."
Curious how integral alfalfa and hay are to the Arizona economy? In 2011, the USDA says our state made nearly a billion dollars in hay and alfalfa sales, making it by far the biggest crop Arizona produces.

Most people occasionally need to mail packages. Most people also have jobs. The U.S. Postal Service is in financial trouble, and desperately needs our package-mailing funds. They're not about to expand the hours that post offices are open to accommodate office workers, though, so they compromise: post office lobbies are open 24/7 and Automated Postal Centers are ready for your package-mailing needs. Blue mailboxes can only accommodate parcels up to 13 ounces, but you can drop much larger boxes in the package drop at your local post office. In theory. Dan found that this was trickier in practice, when every post office nearby had an operational postage machine, but the package drops were all locked. [More]
The U.S. Postal Service Doesn't Want Night Owl Business
Mail Carrier Puts My Package In Someone Else's Rural Mailbox, USPS Calls It 'Delivered'
H. lives on a rural mail route, and her mailbox is secure, with a lock and a slot just big enough to slide letters through. When a package containing an expensive camera lens went missing recently, she learned that her mail carrier had put the package in the "parcle box." The what? Oh, the unused but not secure mailbox on her street that some neighbor wrote "parcel box" on a long time ago. H. had no indication that her package had been placed in the box until the mailman left her a note about it. By then, the box had already been stolen. The post office, for its part, insists that the package was delivered as addressed. [More]
Check With The Postmaster Before You Install A Mailbox, Or Else
John Conway paid $1,300 for a lamppost and matching mailbox, but the Thiensville, WI postmaster refuses to provide service because the mailbox is on the wrong side of the street. The disputed mailbox is part of a new housing development located twenty minutes north of Milwaukee.
"I'm sort of the guy who set the pace here," Conway said, pointing out that he and his wife are the first residents of Concord Creek. "I'm cemented in."
The Conway's concrete stance has the post office in a tizzy. They have refused to answer the Conway's phone calls, and a local paper quoted one postal supervisor threatening to mark the Conway's mail "return to sender." A killjoy postal spokeswoman later retracted the statement, adding "We don't do that."

First of all,I should mention that I have not purchased this product from flipkart.This is because i do not purchase expensive pens without physically 'feeling' them.But i do trust flipkart and I have never experienced any compromise with quality during my long term relationship them.So in future i may try a quality writing instrument from flipkart.However,now I would like to give a little review on this pen and I hope that will be useful.
so here we start,
1.BUILD QUALITY:a solid 5/5.
As far as the build quality is concerned,this pen is flawless. Starting from the cap to the clip to the... (Expand)
The pen is very good, it writes very smoothly and feels like a quality pen while holding it. The only issue I have with the pen is the grip is very smooth and slippery, I find I need to grip the pen very tightly to keep my fingers from slipping off the end. This constant grip is very tiring and makes writing for a long period very strenuous.
Though I bought it from Snapdeal, since it was cheaper there. However, I am a big fan of Flipkart for its professionalism and Customer support/focus. Here are my views on this awesome pen :-
1. The ultimate in writing pleasure.
2. Super soft and smooth as silk.
3. It redefines writing with fountain pen.
4. Full steel body.
5. Must for fountain pen lovers.
6. You can never go wrong with a Sheaffer.
7. Try it to believe it.
8. Have used Parker earlier and believe me, Parker is no patch on Sheaffer.
9. Just go for it with your eyes closed.
10. Comes with a bill and one yea... (Expand)
This is what I experienced...
The weight of the pen, as some people have already stated, is on the heavier side. So it's definitely not meant for long hours of writing. But that's not much of a problem for me. The problem was somewhere else. Though it's a smooth nib (and might have got better with a bit more handling), the skips quite a bit. It leaves behind empty spaces that you need to fill in with a second stroke. Now that's not something very pleasant. I felt it a bit while writing. And so I tried drawing vertical and horizontal strokes. And was quite disappointed with traces of skippin... (Expand)
The pen is good. The weight is good. But the only problem is the grip. The pen gets slippery quite a lot. The ink cartridge provided along with the pen is not satisfactory. Otherwise it is a cool pen with nice looks and a good grace.

Paul Pierce, Jason Terry, Jeff Green Show Celtics Can Still Perform Well Until Teamwide Consistency Develops
Found November 11, 2012 on NESN.com:
PLAYERS: Paul Pierce, Jason Terry, Jeff Green, Kevin Garnett, Brandon Bass, Doc Rivers, Rajon Rondo, Monta Ellis, Scott Skiles, Brandon Jennings, Marquis Daniels
TEAMS: Boston Celtics, Milwaukee Bucks
TEAMS: Boston Celtics, Milwaukee Bucks
They were not quite tagging each other in and out on the sideline like professional wrestlers, but the Celtics shared the load on Saturday in a way they had not in the first two weeks of the season. With Paul Pierce leading the way, Kevin Garnett, Jason Terry, Jeff Green and Brandon Bass all assumed a bit of the scoring load down the stretch as the Celtics' defense got a handful of their old standby stops. The Celtics may be a long way from generating the full 48 minutes of quality basketball that coach Doc Rivers has begged for, but their 96-92 victory over the Bucks eliminated any excuse that they cannot win games despite their inconsistency. As was suspected prior to the season, the Celtics' depth should be enough to carry them to a few ugly wins while they iron out the chemistry issues that doomed them to three losses in their first five games. "We've just got to continue to believe," Rajon Rondo said Friday after a dispiriting loss to the Sixers. "We won't have as many practice...

I haven't been on in AGES. o___o
Fairy tale endings… (Taken with instagram)
Just laying in bed, no sleep since the night before. Eating my white powder doughnut and sipping on my vanilla monster with coffee. The rain is pouring lightly, just barely enough for me to hear as it hits the leaves of the tree that's right outside my window. Sigh. I wish I had one of those windows that you could sit at, the ones that popped out. I love those. Or just a bench at my window and no screen on my window. I want to reach out my hand and feel the water. I want to be warm and cold at the same time. I'm just sitting here. Eating, drinking in thoughts of you. You'll be starting your day soon, if you haven't already. You're usually waking up around now. I can't help but smile picturing you sleep caressed, your hair tossed a little. You'll be going to class today. In a few hours, really. You'll probably talk to and smile and laugh with people. I must admit, I'm jealous of them. I've never been jealous much, always thought it was a waste of time and energy. But I'm jealous of the people who get to see you and spend time with you. Even if it's just a second. They get to see your beautiful face, your wonderful smile and hear the laughter that would be music to my ears simply because it's yours. Sigh. Sigh. And sigh again.
I'm tired and uninspired, with editing and with everything else in life. For now, goodbye.
I always knew that me falling for you was pointless. That nothing would come of it. But even so, I think I somehow thought or hopped that at some point you might develop feelings for me too. At times it seems that way, but I can never tell with you. I usually can read people so well, but you're a complete mystery to me. That may be due to the fact that you won't let me in, even with us being so close. And I was told, by someone so close to you you could say they know you like the back of your hand, that you cared a great deal for me. Maybe that's where the hope come from.
Then to hear that you met someone and could be possibly interested in them, I'm sure you can imagine the disappointment that sunk in my chest.
Ahh, what a silly girl I am. Always falling for the unattainable. And yet, I've never wanted something or someone as badly as I do you. The heart wants what the heart wants. I know the fall out will be heavy and painful, but I'll be expecting it. It's the price I pay for caring you as much as I do. And that is a great deal.

Planning Board Chair and Department Heads present before Montgomery County Council
SILVER SPRING, MD – The Montgomery County Council considered the Park and Planning Spring 2014 Semi-Annual Report on Tuesday, April 1. The biannual report gives a recap of the work from the past six months and highlights the work program for FY15.
The full report is available online on the Montgomery Planning Department website. The video of the Council discussion of the Semi-Annual report is available on the Montgomery County Council website.
The Planning Department is focused on the following themes for FY15:
-Moving towards "finer-grained" planning and a focus on design excellence
-Continuous improvement of the Development Review process
-A focus on innovative housing ideas, new approaches to transportation modeling, and creative use of public assets through colocation
-New ways of using technology for both analysis and communication.
This is the last Semi-Annual presented by Planning Board Chair Françoise Carrier since she has announced she will not seek a second. This is also the last Semi-Annual for Parks Department Director Mary Bradford who is retiring after serving an eight year tenure.
Learn more about the Spring 2014 Semi-Annual Report.
SILVER SPRING, MD – Buildings, streets and spaces don't just happen, they are created by our laws and lifestyles. And to really understand them, we need to take a closer look.
Join our planners in observing community design – the look of buildings, streets and spaces – in our new design blog, The Straight Line.
The blog examines building form, sustainability, energy use, public art, and the interaction of people and places. Our planners and architects will contribute their thoughts every few weeks on what's been built, what should be built and what could have been built better.
Initial posts cover public art uncovered in Silver Spring, food trucks, pedestrian challenges, a green apartment building in Portland, Oregon, and architecture along Georgia Avenue in downtown Silver Spring. From the specific – an energy-efficient mixed-use building with a distinctively colored exterior – to the general – how hard it is to be a pedestrian in much of Montgomery County – the posts will get people thinking. Accompanying our missives are plenty of photos and related links.
Visit The Straight Line frequently to express your views.
SILVER SPRING, MD—During its regular weekly meeting Thursday, April 10, the Montgomery County Planning Board will take a break from business to celebrate trees as an early commemoration of the upcoming Montgomery Parks Arbor Day celebration.
Planning Board members will plant three Weeping Higan Cherry trees (Prunus subhirtella) next to the playground area at Fairview Urban Park, a short walk from Park and Planning Headquarters. The board, which recently recommended changes to strengthen the county's Forest Conservation Law, will be accompanied by the Department of Parks' signature tree mascot, "Woody the Tree."
A few weeks ago, the Department of Parks launched a countywide "Where's Woody?" search to find its most recognizable costumed character in time for the annual Montgomery Parks Arbor Day celebration, Sunday, April 27, 11:00 am – 4:00 pm, at the Agricultural History Farm Park in Derwood. Woody is expected to make several appearances at other park events this month.

Dance Placement Auditions (for currently enrolled students)
Students wishing to place into the Contemporary and/or Ballet Technique classes are required to attend the department Dance Placement Audition.
These students include:
B.F.A. in Dance students still needing placement
Currently enrolled Theatre and Dance Majors and Non-Theatre and Dance Majors
Wishing to place into:
Contemporary Technique: 312C, 322C, 312D, 322D or 322E
Ballet Technique: 312F, 322F, 312G, 322G or 322J
When: August 26, 2014
Where: Winship Drama Building (WIN) Room 1.172
8:30 am – 9:00 am: Registration T&D Majors
9:00 am – 10:00 am: Ballet
10:00 am – 10:50 am: Contemporary
10:30 am – 11:00 am: Registration Non T&D Majors
11:00 am – 12:00 pm: Ballet
12:00 pm – 12:50 pm: Contemporary
Results will be posted at 5 pm on the Dance Call Board near WIN 2.132.
What to Prepare
Please come prepared to take a shortened technique class taught by a faculty instructor (in Ballet, Contemporary or both if you choose). You will NOT need to bring prepared movement or music. Dance faculty will be observing all auditions. Placement results will be posted by 5:00 p.m. on the audition day.
What to wear?
WOMEN: For Ballet please wear single-colored leotard, pink tights and ballet shoes. For Contemporary class you will need to be barefoot. If you are auditioning for both classes, it will be most convenient for you to wear the same tights for the entire audition, so make sure you have tights that will also accommodate bare foot work (tights with the feet slit or footless tights). If this is not possible, you will have a brief break to change tights after the ballet portion of the audition.
MEN: For Ballet, please wear tightly fitting tee shirt, or black or white colored leotard; tightly fitting sweats or dancer's shorts, or footed black or gray tights with ballet shoes or footless black or gray tights with thin socks and ballet shoes. The Contemporary section will be conducted in bare feet.
*Please note that baggy sweat pants, warmers, skirts, oversize shirts, etc. may NOT be worn for the placement audition class.*
The B.F.A. Dance Placement Auditions provide placement for admission into majors level dance technique classes. An intermediate level at minimum of either Ballet or Contemporary dance will serve students best for placement into dance technique courses that are restricted to dance majors.
Sometimes as a result of the placement audition, dance faculty recommend placement in Topics in Dance (302T). Placement at that level does not guarantee a student's enrollment in courses available to non-majors, however; it is an indicator of where the student will make the most progress at that particular time.
Note: No audition is required for TD 302T, TD 312T and TD 352T. See catalog specific course requirements. Instructor consent may be required.
For additional information, please contact the Department of Theatre and Dance at 512.471.5793

Watch: Derailed Baltimore Train Catches Fire, Then Explodes
This is a developing story. Stay tuned for additional updates. Footage retrieved from facebook.com/uptown.bev.
A blast that could be felt for miles ripped through Rosedale, a town about 5 miles outside of Baltimore, on Tuesday afternoon, after a freight train caught fire and exploded. So far, no injuries have been reported and residents of the neighborhood are restricted from returning home at the current time.
The tractor trailer veered off the rails at around 2pm and later caused an explosion that's heat and force blasted through the surrounding area causing store windows and light bulbs to explode. Early reports say that multiple buildings collapsed although no contact with the train was suspected.

Most the moments i remember come from my blood elf mage (the first char i ever got to 70). I remember being in the shimmering flats having a argument on wether frost or fire was best for leveling up (i had leveled fire since i was able to specc as throwing fireballs seemed much cooler that frostbolts), I finally succumbed to logic in un'goro crater and respecced frost. As most i can also remember stepping through the dark portal for the first time (only to have a alliance hunter swoop down on his netherdrake and kill me), some other moments also fit in this category, such as seeing the inside of kara for the first time (in a pug that actually got up to curator), flying to the isle of quel'danas, entering magisters terrace and utgarde keep. There is also my druid's swift flight form quest (done at 80) with the following grind for the anzu mount.

The Wisconsin Supreme Court on Tuesday upheld the sexual abuse conviction of a once-prominent Jesuit priest who insisted he was unfairly prosecuted for acts dating to the 1960s.
A California man who alleges he was abused in the 1960s by a priest who belonged to the Salesian order of the Roman Catholic church filed a lawsuit Wednesday against the order and the Vatican, claiming officials covered for the cleric by shuffling him between three continents over three decades.

A colleague of mine, J. Scott Trubey , reported last week that executives at Norcross-based Bright Eyes Entertainment were charged with securities fraud and other related infringements, costing investors at least $2 million. The company created two sitcoms, "My Parents, My Sister & Me," featuring actress Robin Givens, and "The Chin Chens." Neither program made it on a major network.
William Hollins, chief executive of Bright Ideas Entertainment LLC; the firm's president, Daniel High; and a lawyer, Tene Davis, are accused of soliciting investments in the company by making false assertions in contracts to convince investors their money was fully guaranteed against loss.
The Georgia Secretary of State said more than 30 investors had invested in the original project.
Ric Reitz, an actor who played the dad in ten episodes of "My Parents, My Sister and Me," said he wasn't surprised by the accusations in retrospect. "While it's bad news for our local industry," he wrote me Sunday, "it will serve as a good warning to others."
Last fall, in a story I wrote about "The Chin Chens," one of the actors and an investor Tom Nyugen told me that more than $3 million has been raised to fund the first 13 episodes, mostly from Chinese and Vietnamese investors. That was a separate pool of investors from those of "My Parents, My Sister and Me."
Nyguen said his attorney limited what he could say. But he still supports Hollins. "I feel good about Will," he said. "I believe in the guy. He's been very transparent to me. There's nothing I have to worry about."
When I talked to Hollins last year, he seemed very earnest but he had zero track record in terms of creating successful TV shows. He said he had done TV production in the past but cited nothing of substance. I also questioned the use of the title "The Chin Chens," which is close to the mocking phrase "ching chong" Asian-Americans have heard in the past.
The plotline wasn't bad: a Vietnamese and Chinese married couple own a nail salon/Chinese restaurant combo, with three kids and a grandmother under one roof. Stereotypes? Yes. But Hollins justified it by noting that the family unit was strong and they were clearly well off.
A couple months later, Nyugen brought me to the studios to screen two finished episodes. While some of the actors were okay, others clearly had no experience or comic timing. The writing was subpar and it felt dated. When I spoke with Hollins, who was also there, about current sitcoms, he didn't give me the impression he knew much about "Modern Family," The Big Bang Theory" or even Tyler Perry's sitcoms. The most sitcom reference he made to me was "Seinfeld," which ended 14 years ago.
I wished them luck but had a feeling nothing would ever come of this.
One of the lead "Chin Chens" actors Vince Canlas said last week another company earlier this year had purchased Bright Ideas, called OWOW Studios. Canlas still hopes the show will be revived in some way, shape or form.
For "The Chin Chens," Hollins used only non-union actors, which limited his pool of people he could hire. At the same time, actress Vicki Eng – who played Canlas' wife, said since it was non-union (as opposed to his "My Sister, My Parents and Me" project), she was told it would never air on a regular network. She did it for the experience, she said. She knew nothing about the investors. She said she was paid. In the end, only 2.5 episodes of "The Chin Chens" were shot.
Eight months ago, OWOW Studios released a demo reel of "The Chin Chens." Check it out:
The theme song featured these lyrics:
Waking up in a world through different eyes
Believing we could swim against the crimson tide
Using love, we hitched a ride on the rising sun
Off to start our lives anew
Girls for him, for me a son
We're Americans in heart, Asians by blood
Red white and blue, mixed with yellow-colored [can't quite figure out the word-- mud?]
With our faith,we embrace the dream
Through our heritage, we cling
The world as one, big family
Oh, yes, we're one big family
Comments on YouTube were not kind. An example: "The beginning song was bad taste. It was laughable in a bad way. As an Asian American, it was probable the lyrics might not have been written by an Asian American. They all talk a bit too slow, no comedic timing, it sounds like they went to a recording studio & dubbed over their parts."
OWOW has a website which features "The Chin Chens." The phone number listed on the site, though, does not work.

I wonder how how much of your outrage stems from the fact that you obviously have some Asian fore bearers. Give it up. Either you are American or you aren't. If you are going to carry that cross grab some nails and nail yourself up on it. I was born in Japan to lily white American parents. My wife was born in America From Koreans. We are BOTH Americans. Technically I'M the "Asian-American."
Ching Chong? I have to admit that's a new one on me. Really? You said the show was crappy. Given your track record I'll take that at face value as you have a pretty good track record at what you do. But to bring the "Asian' thing into this? That's beneath you bro.
You have done a really piss poor job trying to play the race card. It isn't you, you don't believe it and I'm not buying it. If this gets me banned from your blog I'll take my banishment with pride. I'm an American. Either you are or you aren't. If you are embrace it as we embrace you, if your allegiance is with another Country I would suggest you immigrate there. Look for ways to draw us together rather than for ways to drive us apart.
It's pretty simple. Once The United States was known as the "melting pot' now I think we are the dividing pot. Rather than looking for our commonalities, so many are looking for ways to drive us all apart and divide us.
Just damn.

This is so sad. I used to work for this company. I left them last year, Hollins and High was very good in selling you a dream. It all seemed very promising at first but then they would never pay on time or just not at all. I kind of new something was not right just didn't know what. I hope they put them under the jail. You just can't go around taking people money and believe you will get away with it.

whoa! i totally did a double-take
wut omG
Rasulullah SAW bersabda, "Siapa yang membaca selepas habis solat, Subhanallah 33 kali, Alhamdulillah 33 kali, Allahu Akbar 33 kali, lalu untuk mencukupkan bilangan seratus dengan membaca "Laa ilaaha illallah wahdahu laa syariika lahu, lahul-mulku walahul-hamdu wahuwa 'alaa kulli syai'in qadir" maka akan diampunkan dosa-dosanya walaupun sebanyak buih air laut." (HR Muslim)
Why are there so many colors of minerals?
We share a whole lot of mineral images on this page, many of which would qualify as gemstone if the stones are pristine enough. One great question for anyone who deals with minerals or gems is…where does the color come from?
Many minerals, when they are pure, are either completely colorless like quartz, or a single strong color, like hematite which will be dark black when found as a chunk. But on the other hand, there are minerals like corundum (aluminum oxide) which can be colorless, bright red as a ruby, blue as in a sapphire, or even pink and orange as in the rare Padparadschah.
The scientific definition of a mineral is that it is a solid substance found in nature with an atomic structure that is consistent and repetitive over a distance. In other words, it is a crystal made up of atoms put together in a constant sequence.
The key to the color for many minerals, as explained in this chart, is found in that setup. A single crystal is made up of a huge number of atoms. Sometimes, when a crystal grows, it can substitute the wrong atom into a spot; iron going into quartz for the silicon atom or chromium going into corundum in place of aluminum.
These impurities can fit into spots in crystals some, but often not perfectly. They may vibrate around or they may bond incorrectly with the surrounding oxygen atoms, changing how the electrons in the structure join together.
Electrons are the keys to color. When electrons are able to move within the structure of minerals, they are able to absorb light and create colors that we are able to see.
This chart outlines how color forms in many common minerals and gemstones. Almost all of them follow a certain format; the wrong element goes into a crystal in a small amount, creating unpaired or mobile electrons that interact with light passing through the crystal structure.

writing is hard
Know your tasks: organize your study material and schedule so you know exactly what chapters or lectures you need to review. If possible, set a to-do list as specific as you can and go checking it as you progress. Seeing how much you've completed will motivate you to keep going!
Keep distractions away: if you're easily distracted by your phone, keep it away while you study. If background noise is a problem for you, try headphones or listening to instrumental music to help you focus. Find what distracts you and save it for another time.
Have a healthy diet. It's important to drink plenty of water and eat nutritious food so your body can work properly. Certain nutrients like Omega 3 can help your memory and can be found in oily fish, like salmon. Vegetables and fruits contain carbs and fiber which will give you energy and caffeine - from coffee or tea - is extremely useful, as we all know.
Take frequent breaks, and use this time to get moving, stretch, go outside, talk to people. I particularly think exercising works fantastically because it keeps you awake and concentrated.
Make summaries. If you're not distracted by using a computer try to make a digital one so you save time. You can later print it and use this to help you revise. It also helps you stay focused while you read. You can make your own diagrams as well for better visualizing and understanding of processes, cycles, etc.
Make flashcards or take phone pics of important diagrams so you can revise key concepts at the bus or while you're waiting for someone. Challenge your memory!
Don't hesitate to ask for help. Whether being from a tutor or simply your friends, having someone answer your questions or explain something to you can be very helpful. You get a different perspective about the subject, see how other people learn (maybe they have great mnemonic strategies you didnt know!) and get to be more interactive. Also, on the other hand, when you explain something to someone it's easier to spot your own mistakes and doubts and it helps retaining what you studied in long term memory.
Set a routine. Try your best to wake up and go to bed at the same time everyday and keep an organized schedule (even if its in your mind or your phone). That way you have separate times to study, workout, sleep well and avoid wasting time, arriving late, having to pull all nighters, missing when your papers are due to.
Spend more time at libraries. A library generally has more comfortable study places than you do at home, you're surrounded by people who are also studying, there's fairly a lot less to be distracted about, books are easily accessible and in most cases you'd be near labs or your teachers offices in case you want to go to that lab review or ask something. You also are less likely to turn your 20 min nap into a 4 hour blackout because sleeping over your books is just not that comfortable.
Don't stress. Pulling all nighters, having emotional breakdowns or just generally panicking over exams and papers is just not worth it. In most cases what you fear about those things never happen. You're going to be okay, even if you fail. Because there are always second chances, especially if you're dedicated. Most successful people I know got that far through perseverance. Which is something you learn when you fail, but refuse to stop trying nonetheless.

Make them run on a treadmill. Hold a knife, a tazer, or burning hot metal behind them. If they get tired and slow down, they get stabbed, shocked, or burnt.
You can do the same with other exercises as well. Make the machines speed up after a bit so the victim doesn't get used to it. You should probably alternate between knives and tazers and such so the victim cannot develop endurance.
Oh! And then there's adrenaline. Give them a shot of that when they are tired and they'll surely perk up.
Make sure you over-exercise every muscle they have for maximum pain.
And we cannot forget exercise music. Turn on some Justin Beiber and Rebecca Black full blast. While the victim suffers from the music as well, you will be safe with your earplugs.
For the treadmil, you can but something they have a phobia of behind them. In my case, it would be a dog. My torturer would hold the dog at my heels with a leash, meaning that the dog will get me if I'm to slow.
Then there's threats. Effective threats may include:
1) Run faster or else.
2) Faster, or you will be severely [insert torture here] later!
3) Don't make me get the [insert animal or bug they have a phobia of]!
4) You just added x minutes to your exercise time for being so slow.
5) I'll kill [insert person dear to victim] if you don't hurry up.
Random treadmill ideas:
1) Turn it on a speed that's easy at first, but difficult after a while. Then tie their arms to the treadmil and leave them all night.
2) Refuse to give them water until they are about to literally pass out.
3) When you do give them water, make them drink it by the jugfull and do not allow them to use the bathroom. They must then try to hold it as they run.
4) Just leave them there for as long as possible.
5) Cut them or something as they run, but make them keep running despite the pain.
6) Make sure you have a clock that makes noise every time the second hand moves. That'll make them nervous as heck, and they will be forced to constantly wonder how much longer the torture will last.
7) Make them run/walk on their knees, or make them crawl.
8) Sexually harrass them a little as they run.
9) Make them have to run fast enough to grab things nearby.
10) When it's all over and they aren't dead, make them thank you.
