Review: Frauke Haasemann and her teachings regarding vocal technique have become legendary. Thousands of choral conductors have benefited from her books and workshops. Now for the first time, her primary student in Europe, Sabine Horstmann, has published her creative exercises based on the teachings of Frauke Haasemann. Written in a straightforward and direct manner, this volume provides an overview of choral vocal technique for choirs at any level of development. There are 94 sequential exercises that can serve as the central part of vocal training for any choir developed by this master teacher. Sabine Horstmann, instructor of Group Vocal Technique and voice at the Robert-Schumann Music University in Dusseldorf, has extensive experience working with singers of all ages. The focal point of her career is her intense work with a variety of choral groups, from children's choirs through adult choirs, and the further education of young conductors through her teaching of Group Vocal Technique and Conducting in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, and the United States. Horstmann studied voice at Folkwang Music University of Essen with Professor Jakob Stampfli.

The electronics titans square off in a tangled tale of mobile technology, centered on Apple's iPhone
CNET editors choose and review the best thin and light laptops, notebooks, and ultrabooks.
The newly redesigned MacBook Pro with Retina Display combines an amazing screen with just enough of the MacBook Air design to feel like a new animal, and to take its place as the best of the current MacBook breed.
While the 13-inch MacBook Pro remains a well-built laptop, it's fallen behind the MacBook Air and Retina Display MacBook Pro in design, lacks higher-end upgrades, and feels too expensive compared with the competition.
While the Retina MacBook Pro is easily the most desirable 13-inch Mac laptop to date, the high price and lack of discrete graphics make it a tough call versus either the more powerful 15-inch Retina Pro or the more affordable 13-inch Air.
A little late to the party, Apple's redesigned 17-inch MacBook Pro joins the 15-inch model with a redesigned aluminum body, new trackpad with expanded functionality, and a dual-graphics setup for either longer battery life or better performance.
While the small updates to the 2014 model aren't enough for most existing users to upgrade, Apple's excellent 15-inch Retina MacBook Pro is still our go-to laptop of choice for shoppers at the high end.
There are other high-res laptops out there, but this year's more powerful and affordable 13-inch Retina MacBook Pro is one of the best of the bunch, and makes a compelling case for upgrading from the 13-inch Air.
The slimmer body and higher-res screen of the original Retina MacBook Pro were a revolutionary leap. This revamp adds modest internal upgrades for modest improvements, but price cuts to both the 13-inch and 15-inch models sweeten the deal.
A MacBook Pro is a significant investment, especially when adding in optional upgrades. Cost aside, there's not a better choice (there are, however, some close ties) for an all-around powerhouse that will work in the home, the office, and in between.
The new entry-level $1,199 13-inch MacBook Pro's significant CPU updates and fantastic battery life are nearly as good as what you get in the more expensive $1,499 version.
Apple's Core 2 Duo 17-inch MacBook Pro is especially thin and light for a desktop replacement, making it an attractive choice for multimedia users on the go.

017 The Time Meddler
And so it begins. Gallifrey begins to emerge into the Doctor Who mythos, ready to take it's grand place alongside other significant Who staples. At last the noble race of Time Lords can stand revealed as we learn just where the Doctor came from.
Except we don't.
Don't worry, we will. Gallifrey, as Rassilon proclaimed not long ago, will rise. But The Time Meddler is more akin to a sneak peek and the Monk a rather less than sterling example of Gallifrey's finest.
But I'm getting ahead of myself.
We open on a rather sinister looking clock ticking away. It's obviously an attempt at foreshadowing, but it just doesn't quite work for me. It puts me more in mind of the opening of Back to the Future. What is effective is the shot of the Doctor standing over the TARDIS controls as if he's just left Bad Wolf Bay, even without knowing what has gone before you can tell just looking at William Hartnell that he's suffered some kind of loss. Vicki is kind enough to bring us up to speed by discussing the recent departure of Ian and Barbara. It's quite easy to dismiss the importance of this event nearly half a century later, but their departure left Hartnell as the only remaining cast member from the opening episode.
In a moment that sadly doesn't seem to have set a precedent the Doctor freely admits to being saddened by their departure. This isn't yet the gallivanting alien who picks up and deposits passengers like a interdimensional taxi driver, this is a man who is hurt enough by his abandonment to let it show and it's quite disconcerting.
"We may land in their time one day and be able to discuss old times."
We know they won't. Even once the Doctor finally learns to fly the TARDIS we know that he seldom revisits old friendships outside of Sarah Jane and the Brig, but it leaves the door open nicely for Ian and Barbara to return and for the audience to not feel they're gone forever.
As luck would have it just as Vicki and the Doctor are bemoaning their lack of company they hear what they presume to be a Dalek wondering round the TARDIS. It turns out instead to be Steven Taylor, played by Peter Purves (yes him from Crufts) rather than Jack Davenport.
Whist Steven recovers with his cuddly panda (I'm not joking) the TARDIS materialises on a beach, observed by a lone monk. He seems intrigued about the TARDIS, but not overly shocked. Almost as if he knows more than he should. The first time I saw The Time Meddler I was genuinely intrigued about the monk, after all the Internet had yet to spoil most of the series for me. I'd imagine that most of you reading this review know fine well that the monk is in fact a Time Lord?
Ah. Spoilers. Should have said.
[pullquote align=right]In the TARDIS Steven is being given a guided tour of his new home. The highlights for me include the horizontal control and "a chair with a panda on it." The tour concludes with the Doctor making a request of the new companion:
"Please stop buggering me."[/pullquote]
Meanwhile, back in the TARDIS Steven is being given a guided tour of his new home. The highlights for me include the horizontal control and "a chair with a panda on it." The tour concludes with the Doctor making a request of the new companion.
"Please stop buggering me."
It's safe to presume from Vicki's face that this wasn't the intended line, however I can state with absolute certainty that whatever was initially scripted wasn't nearly as amusing.
Steven's disbelief is somewhat refreshing. No polite disbelief or incredulous looks for him. As far as he's concerned this old man is off his rocker, but he takes it in good humour and continues to gently mock the Doctor for the rest of the episode. Indeed his mock interrogation of the Doctor's story leads to details of the craft being given within ear shot of the Monk's hearing.
It's at this point I had to remind myself that this was made in the 60s. It's early days for the show's mythos and there is absolutely no reason that the Doctor should be able to sense the Monk just because he could sense the Master in his Tenth body. We're reminded, quite forcibly, that a lot of the show's continuity was cobbled together as it went along and that there was just no way the writers could anticipate their scripts having to conform to rules that wouldn't exist as we know them for decades to come.
But I digress.
As night falls on our crew it casts an eerie shadow over proceedings, that is until you hear the wildlife sounds cranked up just a little too much. I'm still trying to decide if it was a plot point or not. The night shots are beautifully realised. Just as well really as the sun sets in this serial more times than it would in a Michael Bay film. Still, it looks the part.
[pullquote align=right]The Doctor informs the fourth wall that he misses having a History Teacher as a companion. He's not alone, not if it means we're spared such painful conversations.[/pullquote]After wandering off from his companions the Doctor tries to casually ascertain the year from a local stopping just short of asking what the year actually is. He later informs the fourth wall that he misses having a History Teacher as a companion. He's not alone, not if it means we're spared such painful conversations.
The monks chanting that the Doctor then overhears sounds suspiciously like a bad recording. So much so that when the chanting speed suddenly varies like a tape being chewed it takes me a few moments to realise that it's a plot point rather than a prop failure (although curiously the chanting is revealed as originating on a gramophone player. Possibly high technology at the time of broadcast, being a child of the late 70s I can only guess, but it certainly isn't a tape!)
The first episode ends with the Doctor being trapped by the Monk. We'll skip the second episode entirely as it feels very much like filler, probably due to the absence of the Doctor for the duration of it.
When we finally catch up with him, the Doctor is casually discussing his escape with a local. Given his later fear and disdain of his fellow Time Lords he seems remarkably unconcerned about the Monk. Continuity tinted glasses again I guess.
These same glasses muddy the waters somewhat when it comes to judging the Monk. On one hand he's seen healing the wounded and sick with penicillin, something quite Doctor-like, and then we see him consulting his eight point plan for villainy.
Seriously. He has an actual plan on a pull down chart. 'Position Atomic Canon' followed by 'Sight Vikings' gives you an idea of just how well thought out his plan is.
But the Monk isn't the highlight of this episode, it's the Doctor himself. The time off seems to have worked wonders for Hartnell and he returns in sparkling form and seems to relish taking on the Monk. A shame then that the Monk fails to live up to any kind of challenge. Having said that, their dialogue in the last episode gives us our first glimpse of where these Time Lords have come from.
"You know as well as I do the golden rule about space and time travelling"
"Never, never interfere with the course of history."
"Who says so?" Asks the Monk and the thought occurs that his dialogue wouldn't be out of place spoken by the Fourth Doctor and to prove the point he finishes with "It's more fun my way." As the Monk rattles off his list of achievements to date you can't help but agree with him. Then when he mentions his hand in building Stonehenge you begin to wonder just who it was that built the Pandorica for the Alliance.
Continuity Tinted Glasses again and if you watch this episode wearing them then you can't help but be struck by the sheer hypocrisy of the Doctor. Throughout this story the Doctor acts more like the Time Lords he's running from rather than the free spirit he's set to become, but when you consider that he only seems to be fifty years away from Gallifrey according to the Monk then it's really not that surprising he's still holding on to some of the basic tenets that he was raised with. His final solution of trapping the Monk on earth without a functioning TARDIS actually works better with the continuity glasses as it eerily foreshadows the Pertwee era.
Speaking of the Monk's TARDIS, it's reveal at the end of Episode 3 must have been truly staggering at it's first showing. No-one knew anything of where the Doctor came from and to discover one of his own kind half way through an historical must have been staggering for the audience of the time.
Ultimately The Time Meddler works best for what it implies rather than what it shows. The Monk isn't anything close to a match for the Doctor despite superior equipment and could never be the Master in my mind, regardless of what some fan theories have suggested. However through his dialogue with the Doctor we learn an awful lot about where they came from and just who the Doctor might have been before we met him.
And this wouldn't be the last time we met a Time Lord. Indeed, we might even meet this particular Time Lord again…
I'll leave you with the highlight for me though; an exchange between Vicki and Steven discussing the implications of meddling with time. "Memories will change" we're told. It's an explanation for every continuity error made during the fifty year run given, for all intents and purposes, at the very start of the run. Yet people still get upset when some things don't match up perfectly between episodes.
Memories will change and time will be rewritten…

"I think Harold (Saxon) could be a good King." I was always surprised that no one picked up on that line during Series 3.
we were so excited when we saw the inside of the monk's Tardis. It's difficult to explain how magical the Tardis control room was. It was the santuary, the place of safety that could be maddeningly out of reach. That is why the cliff hanger in the Web planet where the Tardis was apparently lost worked so well for us
"…there is absolutely no reason that the Doctor should be able to sense the Monk just because he could sense the Master in his Tenth body" – maybe the Dr/other Time Lords can only sense the presence of high-ranking Time Lords; perhaps the Monk just doesn't cut it?
Interestingly, the Dr later senses the presence of the presumed-dead Morbius, when he's being drugged via the glass of wine at Solon's castle.
I enjoyed reading this, AS, though I think you mean 'basic tenets he was raised with' rather than 'tenants'; but I like the idea of the Monk growing up with flatmates!
I remember at the time I first saw this in the early 1990′s on BBC2 thinking the implied rape of Edith was totally unsuitable for a children's programme and totlaly out of the keep of the rest of the story. I still think that, but as Edith seems to get over it very quickly I will too!
I was really impressed with the cliffhanger for part three though and Peter Butterworth is really good throughout the story.
I loved the Target novelizations of the Hartnell stories in the eighties, but being too young to have watched the stories on TV I had to imagine what those years looked like. (Which was the magic of those books. They made us create our own vision of Doctor Who, and this demand on my imagination got me even more hooked on the show).
But until I recently sat down and carefully watched every Hartnell adventure, I hadn't appreciated just how good Peter Purves was. Right from the start, he was a reliable foil for the Doctor, and he gives The Time Meddler a solid, human core. His anger at the end of The Massacre is the most believable dramatic moment of the Hartnell years. I'd have loved to see him hang around longer to be a straight man to Troughton.
The Monk could have been the Master, but of course it was never intended. I like to think that the Monk was Hartnell's functional equivalent of the Master. Except like many Doctor Who concepts (such as the Doctor at the time) he was unfinished and very much prototypical, unlike Troughton's War Chief (If you've ever seen the War Games you'll know what i mean).
Just finished watching The Time Meddler. Really enjoyed it, especially Buttersworth. Really wish he'd've come back again after The Daleks' Masterplan.
It's quite a grim end for him, I think. Great bit of apathy after the Doctor essentially wrecks his home.
But I'm also reminded of that Simpsons episode, Hurrican Neddy, when the people of Springfield re-build Ned's house, and one of the corridors gets smaller and smaller as you walk along it.
What is interesting is that at the end of Episode 10 of The Daleks master Plan The Doctor strands The Monk on an ice planet and The Monk's last ever words(if we accept your reasoning) are "I'll get you for this Doctor! I'll get you one day!" In "Terror of the Autons" (The Master's supposed "first" appearance) a Time Lord comes to warn The Doctor that "an old acquaintance has arrived on this planet" and that he "has learnt a great deal since you last met him". The original script also noted that "The Master" was a new alias, and that the Doctor had ruined one of "The Master"'s schemes, and that "The Master" was out for revenge. The Doctor is unimpressed "That jackanapes! All hes does is cause trouble!" he states and later "I refuse to be worried by a renegade like The Master. He's a, he's an unimaginative plodder." It is only when he sees that "The Master" has indeed learnt a great deal since they last met that he takes the threat seriously. And we know that when they last met The Master could not have been in his Delgado incarnation when The Doctor fails to recognise the voice on the telephone. Then there's the fact that The Monk was always going on about his "master plan". Or the fact that the Time lord specifically states that The Master scored higher marks in science than The Doctor. The Monk was able to fix his faulty chameleon circuit(which The Doctor never did), and escape from 1066 in a TARDIS with a shrunken interior. It makes no sense he would never come after The Doctor again. And where was The Doctor's prior(to Autons) meeting with The Master? The Master of Logopolis is reckless like The Monk. And Doctor Who Magazine ran an article shortly before the aforementioned King's Demons stating that it would feature the return of a villain first seen in The Time Meddler. Quite frankly, the idea that The Monk ISN'T The Master is what I find bizarre.

Mainly about Bob, Bit of romance for him
They had walked in to find Vanessa and Kait painting Franks nails and doing his hair. "He looks like Emo barbie" cried Mikey through his laughter. This made them all laugh even more, which made Frank more annoyed. He got up and walked over to the mirror "Oh my fucking god, I...look..I..look..so beautiful" he joked pretending to wipe a tear away from his eye. "Im gunna get you guys back for this you do realise dont you?" he smirked turning to Kait and Vanessa. They both shrugged while putting there beauty products away "Bring it on" Vanessa proudly said. Frank was already plotting how he could get them both back. "Anyway, now that is over, lets watch the mooovie" Gerard said putting a DVD in. Kait and Frank were sitting together on one armchair, as seen as they were both small they could fit while Vanessa was in between Gerard and Bob on the big sofa leaving Ray and Mikey with the floor. As the movie got scarier Kait got closer to Frank, he held her tight and she felt safe. Gerard was way into the movie, his eyes glued on the screen and Vanessa knew it was her cue to flirt with Bob.
She curled her feet up onto the sofa and leaned over nearer to Bob. She wasnt scared at all but she pretended to be, so she shielded her eyes and snuggled into him. Bob's heart started to race. He couldnt concentrate on the movie now that he had a pretty girl this close to him. It ended about half an hour later, everyone But Bob had fallen asleep by the end. He didnt want to move incase he woke Vanessa, who had fallen asleep on him. Gerard had already headed upstairs leaving Ray and Mikey sprawled across the floor sleeping and Frank and Kait asleep in eachothers arms. Vanessa stirred in her sleep and Bob decided to wake her incase she suddenly woke up and asked why he was sitting awake letting her sleep on him. "Vanessa" he whispered shaking her gently. "Time to get up" he said as she stirred and opened her eyes. She sat up, streched and turned to face him. She smiled at him which made him blush. "Goodnight Bob" she said and with that she leaned over and kissed him quickly on the lips before going upstairs to bed. "Yo frank wake your lazy ass up" said Bob throwing a pillow at him which actually hit Kait who was snuggled in Franks arms. She shot up "what the fuck?!" she cried looking puzzled by her rude awakening. "My bad Kait, that was meant to hit Frank" Bob chuckled. "Baby im going upstairs you coming?" whispered Kait in Franks ear. He opened his eyes and nodded "Yeah sweety, Im coming" getting up from the couch they both walked upstairs. "Night Bob" they both called as they walked out the door. Bob sat back in his chair and sighed. Vanessa had just kissed him, he didnt know what to think of it. What did it mean? Did she like him? He decided he didnt care, she had kissed him and that made him very happy.
A/N- Hey guys, just a small filler for you all. Sorry its not that good its like 3:30am here in the UK and Im really tired and my ear hurts from this new piercing that is what's keeping me up. So anyways Im gunna go try and sleep now so I can get up and write you darlings a new chapter. I hope to wake up to lots of reviews (:

Interestingly enough, just this morning I started putting together the details for an in-game charity event my guild hopes to hold on the 31st. I love what Child's Play has done to encourage the Warcraft community to do positive things. It proves that we're made up of more than just angry jerks with ePeen issues. :D

Six reasons why Todd Akin's 'legitimate rape' remark could haunt the GOP
There's something about Republicans and gaffes regarding rape. Remember 1990, when Texas GOP gubernatorial nominee Clayton Williams reportedly compared rape to the ever-changing Texas weather. "As long as it's inevitable," Williams was reported as saying, "you might as well lie back and enjoy it." Today, Missouri congressman Todd Akin earned his own political infamy by […] [Read More]

MOVIE REVIEW: The Hunger Games
Screenwriters: Gary Ross, Suzanne Collins, Billy Ray
Starring: Jennifer Lawrence, Josh Hutcherson, Liam Hemsworth, Woody Harrelson, Elizabeth Banks, Lenny Kravitz, Stanley Tucci, Donald Sutherland
Release Date: March 23, 2012
Based on the novel "The Hunger Games" by Suzanne Collins
What was once known as North America has fallen into pieces, and Panem has taken its place. It is a nation that has been divided into twelve impoverished districts, ruled by a wealthy and authoritative Capitol. In response to past uprisings, the government has devised a cruel punishment in the form of an annual, televised event. Two children from each district between the ages of 12-18 are hand picked to fight to the the death until there is only one left. This is the Hunger Games, a film based on Suzanne Collins's novel of the same name.
The story focuses on the Katniss Everdeen (Jennifer Lawrence), who impulsively volunteers to participate in the 74th Hunger Games in place of her younger sister who was originally picked. Peeta Mellark (Josh Hutcherson, has also been chosen from her district, and together they head to the Capitol, preparing to fight for their lives in front of a nationwide broadcast.
While this kid-killing concept will definitely get people talking, it's been done before. The allegorical concepts that illuminate the development of the United States are something worth mentioning, but that isn't highlighted on screen too well, primarily because that's overshadowed by the "game" itself. While Suzanne Collins has built such a rich world with deep themes, none of that was really focused on. Instead, we get a movie about a girl name Katniss, and her will and determination to survive.
Still, without any profound messages, I found the Hunger Games fairly entertaining and enjoyable. It never gets boring, and Jennifer Lawrence leads a cast to this film's greatest strength: the performances. From small roles like Haymitch Abernathy (Woody Harrelson) and Seneca Crane (Wes Bently), everyone did a great job in portraying their respected character. Lawrence, who plays a strong-willed, beautiful and devoted Katniss (a formula to a protagonist you can't help but root for), shows us she can be courageous and completely frightened when needed to be. She definitely gives us a masterful performance, both physically and emotionally, all coupled with a fantastic supporting cast.
The movie puts us in a dystopian future that does not look too promising, as people are living in hunger. But the moment we are are introduced to Effie Trinket (Elizabeth Banks), an overly cartoonish looking character, I was scared to think how the Capitol, and its citizens, would look like. Well, once Katniss and company arrive to the city, we are introduced with Tim Burton-eqsue costumes and hairstyles, and I was taken away from the gritty, serious nature film had established. Sure, these colorful characters may have been a device to represent pompous, overly arrogant rich folk, but this could've been executed in a much better fashion. Colorful hair styles and bright glittery make-up kind of made everything unintentionally comical at times.
But aside the odd choice of costume, possibly the worst visual elements of the film were some of the set pieces, which were obviously shot using green screen and a lot of special effects. So how bad were they? Well, I've seen a lot better looking sets on cable television. It's strange, with a property that's as popular as The Hunger Games (which many predicted to gross over $100M its opening weekend), one would think more money would go into this. Unfortunately, the movie had to suffer with a $78 million dollar budget.
Wielding such controversial issues like kids murdering kids, the movie did a great job in showing the brutality of the kills, without exposing too much to make this deem "gory." Each death scene was nicely shot to give that shock and awe moment, all while still keeping the film's rating at a PG-13 level. It's a shame they weren't able to do so without having such shaky camera work. I'm uncertain if this was intentionally done to hide some of the gruesome fatalities, but it took away from a lot of the action, most notably the opening scene when everyone is brought to the hunting grounds. It's hard to keep track of all the action when what's in front of you in constantly dizzying out of control.
And while this movie may have one of the most touching moments on screen this year, that level of emotion never returns by the end. Even with the eventual love arc between the two leads, nothing reaches that midway peak. By the end of the film, we are left with a rather underwhelming finale without any sort of gratifying conclusion.
Sure, I understand that this movie is left open ended for two more films in mind, but as a standalone, The Hunger Games wasn't able to finish strong. Maybe when the other two installments release, I'll be able to look at it as a whole and appreciate the world and story that Suzanne Collins has created. That isn't to say this was a bad film, but I as expecting a lot more given the hype that this has received. Amazing performances (most notably that of Jennifer Lawrence) and an overall enjoyable movie, but at the end, I was still left unsatisfied.
7.3 out of 10
Review by: Richard Fagel
I felt the movie was ok, but it was definitely lacking. I agree with most of the points you've made in this article, but I think I liked the movie less than you did. Maybe this is because I've read the books and feel that the movie doesn't do them any justice. Probably the biggest issue I had with the movie is the fact that certain things from the book I felt were important were moved around or omitted from the movie. That and there were scenes in the movie that I can't recall from the book, so I can only assume that they were added by the filmmakers.
A few examples would be the pin and the fake love that existed between Kat and Peeta. The pin is one of the most significant symbols in the book and yet in the movie they have it so she just happens to find it at the Hub and gets it for free. Another example is that Haymitch doesn't go around offering a love story on behalf or Kat and Peeta. It's something that he plans out with Kat and Peeta, to some extent, and it's something that Kat realizes she needs to play up at a critical time within the arena. There was barely any emphasis on the relationship between Kat and Peeta, which is extremely important as it's what helps them survive their time in the arena and in the end, IT SAVES THEIR LIVES.
There were also very little emphasis on the relationships between Kat and the other characters who, though they seem minor, are actually quite important. Like the relationships between Kat and Haymitch and Kat and Cinna. Kat does not get along with Haymitch very well, but the two respect each other. And Kat is someone who does not have many friends as she does not get along with people well, but Cinna is pretty much her sole support and friend within the Capital. She relies very heavily on him for mental and emotional support.
For people who have never read the books, the movie was probably pretty good, but I couldn't find that much to like about it. I felt the looks of most of the actors and actresses as well as their acting was out of sync with the characters of the book. and felt that the filmmakers could have done a much better job.

Chapter Five
Meanwhile, while our old orc friend Fleece is in the armory, just biding his time before starting his insane one-person raid that, no doubt, has some kind of backstory of revenge associated with it; and King Ghoul-ston is reading that letter that came from Ozdarius, which has huge implications for the big election taking place … there's a whole other thing happening. There's this princess. Let's call her Graceloquis. But Graceloquis isn't like other princesses. While she spends her days playing the role of princess to the general public by donning crowns and waving at her constituents and accepting gifts from her various handsome suitors from neighboring villages and towns or whatever, at night she straps on gloves and a helmet. She does a bunch of, like, kickboxing-esque training in this room with all sorts of swords and armor and spiked things hidden in the castle's basement, a room that only she and her trainer Buddy know about. Buddy's this old family friend, probably pushing 60 or so, but mean as a whip. I don't know exactly what that means. Whips are fucking mean or something. Anyway, whenever she feels like training she says to the rest of the servants, like, "I feel faint, I need to lie down" and everyone else, even her father the King and her mother the Queen, are all like "Oh, that's just how she is, women need to rest every now and then because they're all weak and shit," and she goes into her bedroom, gets under the covers, and the fucking floor falls out from under her! And then she lands in the fucking secret training Bat Cave-like thing. And she works out and trains and does all sorts of sword-work. The question, though, is what is she training for? Only traveling the countryside by night as a motherfuckin' Dragon Slayer! That's right. Princess-by-day, Slayer-by-night. The townspeople even have a name for this mysterious and cloaked slayer they occasionally spot riding around with a bunch of dragon heads hanging from his (they think it's a he) horse: "Le Bastion." It's, like, French or some shit. Anyway, she's been doing this for awhile now, taking out about four dragons a month, for two reasons: (1) Some important person in her past was eaten by a dragon, we'll get into that part of the story later, I'm sure; (2) She has these two bites on her upper arm, which can only be seen when she gets completely nude, which is rare. These bites were the remnants of when that first thing — the important person dying — happened. She was trying to save him (it's a him, so, you know, you can probably guess that it was like a boyfriend or something) and the dragon fuckin' bit her. And what happens when dragons bite you? You become part-dragon! So whenever the fourth moon shines, like once a month or so, she turns into part motherfucking-dragon. Like a were-dragon. What? Is the once-a-month thing symbolic of a period? I don't know, I haven't thought of that. But sure. Why not? Anyway, when I say she turns into a dragon, I don't mean huge like a dragon. She's still normal-size. But she can fly and's all scaley and can breath fire. And she wants to eat people, too. But usually just one person will do, since she's still normal human size. But since she's nice-ish, she has to find a really bad person, like a criminal or something, to eat on that one-day-a-month when she's craving human. So down in her Dragon Cave thingy, while she's training and stuff, there's also this pirate named Pierce chained up in the corner. Judging by the moon's arc, he's got about two days to live before Graceloquis changes into a half-dragon and eats him. This whole time, while she's going through her bicep curls and squats and fire-evading maneuvers, he's pleading, "C'mon, let me go! I have lots of gold I can give you." He doesn't know where exactly he's at, that gold's not going to work buying her off, since she's already rich as shit. So, she just ignores his pleas and gets back to training. He eventually kind of just resigns to his fate, gets a handle on dying, and starts talking to her. "Why are you doing this anyway? What's with all the training?" he asks. And she goes into her story, how she kills dragons before they killed her boyfriend. The smaller dragons that she kills are fine and all, but she has this one, the specific one that killer her boyfriend, that she's still looking for. And she explains the dragon to Pierce ("it's got this crooked scar from one end of the snout to the other, where I stabbed it") and Pierce is all like, "I know exactly where that dragon is." She threatens him with all sorts of injuries and whatever, but Pierce won't tell her. Instead, he's all like, "I'll take you there, but then after you slay him you have to let me go." Graceloquis, after consulting with Buddy, who doesn't really trust this Pierce guy, says yes. "Sure. I can find someone else to eat later." So, they're about to set off to find this dragon. But the two of them don't really like each other. Kind of like Midnight Run. Anyway, lots of stuff going on here, right?

In Touch - August 19, 2014
The Priority of Obedience
The Creator gave two commands to Adam and Eve—first, to fill the earth and rule over it, and second, not to eat from a certain tree in the Garden (Gen. 1:28; 2:17). Because they chose to disobey, their relationship with God was broken, and they had to leave Eden.
The first couple's rebellion not only impacted their own lives but also had far broader implications: all future generations have suffered. In Romans 5:12-19, the apostle Paul explained the reason. Through the trespass of one man, Adam, sin made its entrance into the world, and death resulted for all mankind. Because Adam was head of the human race, his actions affected everyone born after him. His disobedience resulted in each of us having a bent away from the Lord and a desire for self-rule.
By contrast, Jesus made conformity to the Lord's will the priority of His life. He obeyed God in both word and deed (John 8:28-29). Having lived a perfect life—one entirely without sin—He qualified to be our Savior (2 Cor. 5:21). Through the death of one man, Christ Jesus, payment was made for the transgressions of all mankind. God's acceptance of the Son's sacrifice brought us forgiveness and freedom from sin's power.
Adam's disobedience brought judgment and death upon us, whereas Jesus' obedience resulted in new life for all who believe in Him (Rom. 6:4). Our Savior calls us to deny selfish desires, live sacrificially, and follow Him (Matt. 16:24). A godly life will bring Jesus honor and influence others for Him.

Not really delayed: Samsung Galaxy Premier available in Russia now
A few weeks ago, several online publications noted that Samsung delayed the launch of its Galaxy Premier GT-I9260 Android Jelly Bean smartphone until January next year. It all started from SamMobile — a very reputable source, we must mention — which assumed the Premier would be generally available from the end of January onward, and just a few markets would get it earlier in the month.
However, we've been tipped that the Galaxy Premier can be bought as of now… Read more
Samsung SGH-T999L. Is this T-Mobile's Galaxy S III with LTE?
T-Mobile is the only major carrier in the US that doesn't have an LTE network. Sure enough, it does offer 4G services, but they're limited to HSPA+ 42Mbps. All this will change next year, when T-Mobile is going to launch LTE, obviously helped (financially) by its parent company, Deutsche Telekom. T-Mobile's official goal is to roll-out its LTE network and cover roughly 100 million people by mid-2013. Thus, it could introduce quite a few LTE smartphones and tablets in the… Read more
Samsung Galaxy Grand I9080 and Galaxy Grand I9082 (dual SIM) launching with Jelly Bean next year
Two Samsung smartphones have been officially presented today, the Galaxy Grand I9080, and Galaxy Grand I9082. They share the same design, and the same features, but the latter allows you to use two SIM cards at the same time — so, yeah, it is a dual SIM handset.
As its name implies, the new Galaxy Grand family is all about large devices: the I9080 and I9082 measure 143.5 x 76.9 x 9.6 mm each, and sport 5-inch displays. The trouble is… Read more

..essentially makes the case that a handful of [Republican] families -- Scaife, Bradley, Olin, Coors and others -- laid the foundation for a $300 million network of policy centers, advocacy groups and media outlets that now wield great influence over the national agenda. The network, as Stein diagrams it, includes scores of powerful organizations -- most of them with bland names like the State Policy Network and the Leadership Institute -- that he says train young leaders and lawmakers and promote policy ideas on the national and local level. These groups are, in turn, linked to a massive message apparatus, into which Stein lumps everything from Fox News and the Wall Street Journal op-ed page to Pat Robertson's ''700 Club.'' And all of this, he contends, is underwritten by some 200 ''anchor donors.'' ''This is perhaps the most potent, independent institutionalized apparatus ever assembled in a democracy to promote one belief system,''..and then goes on to say how the Democrats need to do the same thing and how they are doing it through Soros and others, although diffrently in a way that could lead to the emergence of a viable 3rd party and the collapse of the Democratic party.
''When you go out and talk to them, people are much more interested in something like MoveOn.org than in the Democratic Party,'' Ickes said. ''It has cachet. There is no cachet in the Democratic Party.posted by stbalbach at 1:54 AM on July 27, 2004

It's been 8 years since Augustan, Ashley Smith-Robinson, was held hostage by Atlanta Courthouse killer, Brian Nichols. And soon her story will be hitting the big screen in a movie titled, "Captive." WJBF News Channel 6's Barclay Bishop has more.
Brian Nichols was on trial for rape, when he escaped from custody, and shot and killed 4 people, including the judge presiding over his case. He then went to Ashley's apartment, whom he didn't know, and held her hostage for nearly 8 hours before she convinced him to let her go.
"It was very surreal, it was like, 'Is this really happening?' But you know, I felt changed," said Ashley Smith-Robinson, held hostage by Brian Nichols in 2005.
Ashley Smith-Robinson describes the moment back in 2005, that she was finally set free. Held hostage for hours, by Brian Nichols, a murderer who was hiding after he escaped from police.
"I thought that I deserved death, I thought that that was what was going to happen to me and that was what I deserved," said Smith-Robinson.
She'd led a life of heavy drugs and partying - but for those 8 hours with Nichols - Ashley's life was transformed.
"It literally was like, Jesus took the body of Brian Nichols and said 'This is it, do you want your life to change or do you want it to be over?" said Smith-Robinson.
After a book deal, and countless speaking engagements, Ashley's story will now be told on the big screen, in a movie titled, "Captive."
"It's really, really exciting to know that it can still be a story that touches lives," explained Smith-Robinson.
Nichols will be played by David Oyelowo, Ashley, played by Kate Mara.
"She's not doing this to become famous. She's doing it because she believes in it, and she told me that and I can totally see that," said Smith-Robinson.
While many face struggles in their lives, some maybe not as severe as Ashley's, she says she hopes a message is sent to everyone who watches.
"I want people to leave the theaters and go, 'You know what? What is this world all about? You know, what is this life all about?" said Smith-Robinson.
For Ashley - she says her purpose is to serve the Lord, and teach her children how to live their lives with honor.
"My life was in such an empty dark place, that I didn't really feel like God wanted anything to do with me. And not only did He want something to do with me, He wanted to use me," said Smith-Robinson.
Ashley says she knows her story will help others. But there is one thing that she remains unsure of. As Nichols sits in a jail cell until he takes his last breath, will she ever go back and see him? The one man who not only made her fear for her life, but also changed it for the better.
"I have a letter that I'm writing, I write a little bit each week as it comes to mind, and I pray over it, and I don't know that if I'll ever send it to him," said Smith-Robinson.
Filming for the movie will begin this weekend in Charlotte. It's expected to be released in the Summer or Fall of next year. Nichols was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole.

One note in response to the author of this story. It would hardly be responsible to build a noisy roller coaster on top of all these animals. There are many places in Busch Gardens to build coasters, and they do so with some regularity. The last thing they should do is stress out and scare these poor animals just so you can have one more roller coaster. For that matter, it would also destroy the effect of all the theming and atmoshphere that they've just spent many millions of dollars to create. Don't worry, they'll build another coaster but hopefully they'll do so in a more sensible location.
I'm a big fan of Busch Gardens Africa and am glad to see them continuing to develop the park. I also agree with Erik that I'd love to see more attractions like Dark Kastle or something similar to further round out your options for fun.
I am also interested to see the Tiger Tug-o-War. I'm envisioning major rope burn and/or limbs ripped off by the rope. Hmmmm... Perhaps it should be a Howl-o-Scream event.
In all seriousness, I've played with tigers when I used to volunteer at Big Cat Rescue (forerly Wildlife on Easy Street). Tigers are incredibly strong. I'd love to try a tug of war with one.

[WARNING: The following story contains major spoilers from the Season 1 finale of Black Sails. Read at your own risk.]"There are no legacies in this life. No monuments, no histories. Just the water. It pays us and then it claims us. Swallows us whole as if we've never been here at all."If Black Sails hadn't already proven the words above to be true, the Starz pirate drama's Season 1 finale certainly bought into that bleak worldview wholeheartedly.After a season of twists and turns, talk of pirate bureaucracy and chasing of stolen schedules, the finale builds to Capt. Flint (Toby Stephens) and the crew of The Walrus finally sailing in pursuit of the famed Spanish treasure galleon, the Urca de Lima....read more
If you've watched a pirate movie, you've seen the stunt where the captain balances precariously atop a ship's mast, pierces its sail with his cutlass, grabs the hilt with both hands and slides fearlessly down to the deck. Daredevil Douglas Fairbanks Sr. originated the move in 1926's The Black Pirate. It's as ubiquitous on screen as an adventurer swinging from the rigs. But the dusty sea dogs of the new Starz period drama Black Sails would call it bloody foolish — unless cracked...read more

In a season where everything had gone right, the Westminster football team had put itself in position to win its biggest game in years.
If the Owls could make a field goal on the game's last play, they would defeat perennial power Quince Orchard and advance to their first state title game since 2005. But after 48 minutes of football, a missed field goal signaled the end of Westminster's dream season.
Justin Cohen's 37-yard field goal attempt veered just outside of the left upright, and Quince Orchard was finally able to celebrate a 21-19 win at Ruby Field that propelled the Cougars into the Class 4A state championship game for the second consecutive year.
The dramatic ending was fitting for two evenly-matched teams that battled for 48 minutes. Quince Orchard seemed to have the game in hand during its final offensive drive, which consumed five-and-a-half minutes and reached the Westminster 2-yard line.
But a goal-line stand kept Westminster in the game, and the Owl offense finally came alive after struggling for most of the second half. Starting at its own 2-yard line with just 1:19 remaining, the Owls began the march that nearly pulled out the win.
Senior quarterback Deryk Kern hit senior wide receiver Bradley Metcalf for a 14-yard gain, then followed with a nine-yard completion to Garrett Bean. Kern threw a short pass to Metcalf, who ran through several tacklers to gain 30 yards and put Westminster in Cougar territory at the 45-yard line.
On second down, Kern found Darius Clifton for a 19-yard gain, then hit his senior target again for a six-yard pickup to the Quince Orchard 20-yard line. With no time outs remaining, Westminster raced to the line and Kern spiked the ball with 1.8 seconds left. The snap and hold were perfect, and Cohen's 37-yard field goal attempt had plenty of distance. But the kick was wide, and Quince Orchard escaped with the two-point win.
"We lost to one helluva football team," said Westminster head coach Brad Wilson. "But our kids played their hearts out. That last drive said a lot about our football team."
Westminster closed its best season in seven years with a 12-1 record. The Owls tied a school record for single-season victories, claimed their second consecutive county title, and won a regional championship for the first time since 2005.
Quince Orchard, which suffered a crushing 36-35 defeat to Old Mill in last year's Class 4A final, improved to 12-1 and will meet either Meade or Henry Wise for the state championship next Friday at M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore.
"Their defense worked very well together," said Bean, who set a county receiving record on the game-ending march. "There were no busted coverages, and we had to nickel and dime them offensively. We were really moving on that last drive, and made a lot of good plays. But the mistakes and penalties just killed us tonight, and it just didn't fall our way."
Senior quarterback Matt Choi was a difference-maker for the Cougars. The 6-1, 185-pound signalcaller rushed 23 times for 115 yards, and his 83-yard touchdown pass to Elliott Davis midway through the third quarter sent Quince Orchard ahead to stay.
The Cougars dominated the first quarter. Led by Nebraska-bound senior linebacker Marcus Newby (a team-high seven tackles), Quince Orchard limited the explosive Owl offense to just one first down in the first 12 minutes of the game.
On the Cougars' second possession, Choi scored from a yard out with 5:19 left in the opening quarter. The converted wide receiver doubled the lead early in the second quarter, capping a ten-play drive with a four-yard scoring run to give Quince Orchard a 14-0 advantage.
Faced with its largest deficit of the season, the Westminster offense finally got untracked. Kern completed four passes on the ensuing drive, including a perfect 41-yard strike to Bean for the Owls' first touchdown.
Two-way standout Dan Johnson ran for a two-yard score with 3:34 left in the half to pull Westminster within one point, and the Owls took advantage of a Jesse Binder interception return to the Cougar five-yard line to record their third touchdown of the quarter. Kern rolled right, then stopped and hit Metcalf in the middle of the end zone for a four-yard score and a 19-14 halftime lead.
"We figured out what they were doing in coverages," said Johnson. "We made the adjustments and started moving the ball."
The defenses took over in the second half. Led by senior cornerback Brandon Somerville (team-high 11 tackles) and junior linebacker John Morrissey (six tackles), Westminster held Quince Orchard to just two first downs in the third quarter.
But the Cougars scored the only points of the second half, when Choi found Davis in single coverage on a deep sideline route and hit his speedy receiver for an 83-yard score at the 5:43 mark of the third quarter.
Both offenses struggled well into the final quarter. Starting from its own 28 with 6:41 remaining, Quince Orchard put together its only sustained drive of the second half. Choi carried 10 times during the visitors' 13-play, clock-eating drive, which ended at the Westminster two-yard line when Choi's pass to Kieran Gregory fell incomplete in the end zone.

Special edition muscle cars are nothing new in today's world so you can excuse us if some fall between the cracks every now and then. Sooner or later, though, some special edition muscle cars are just to awesome to let slip by and this particular one from SMS Supercars is one such example.
Unveiled recently during SMS Supercars' Car Show and Open House event, this special edition Mustang 302 Convertible was built to celebrate the tuning company's partnership with the Sturgis Mustang Rally. So what makes it stand out from the rest of the pack?
To begin with, the topless piece of American muscle was dressed up in an awesome Lizstick Red chrome bodywork that draws inspiration from the legendary colors of the Saleen . On top of that, SMS added a full body kit to go with an upgraded exhaust, a new S4 suspension system, a set of 20" chrome wheels, 14" front brakes with drilled rotors, and a full leather interior complemented with details of Alcantara.
It will stand out from a mile away, and you'll also be able to hear it. The Mustang 302 was fitted with an Airaid cold air intake and a Boss 302 intake manifold from Ford Racing. With these new items on tow, the car's 5.0-liter V8 engine saw an increased output of 500 horsepower, a significant upgrade from the standard model's 440-horsepower output.
Like we said, there's plenty to love about this SMS Supercars-tuned Mustang 302, wouldn't you say?
