I didn't want to start drama by pointing it out, but I figured this was a dude. That or some super ugly chick that was trying to get as much attention as possible. But if that was the case, you'd go to a site with less married dudes. Starting a thread by mentioning that Dan Marino is cute was a dead giveaway that games were going to be played. Also, show me a goth chick that likes football enough to join a forum and talk about it. Good luck with that...

The Beat Hotel
A look into the legacy of the American Beats in Paris during the heady years between 1957 and 1963, when Allen Ginsberg, Peter Orlovsky and Gregory Corso fled the obscenity trials in the United States surrounding the publication of Ginsberg's poem Howl. They took refuge in a cheap no-name hotel they had heard about at 9, Rue Git le Coeur and were soon joined by William Burroughs, Ian Somerville, Brion Gysin, and others from England and elsewhere in Europe, seeking out the "freedom" that the Latin Quarter of Paris might provide.

'Our son saved the lives of four people' - parents of Barrow soldier, 23
Last updated at 12:05, Monday, 04 February 2013
THE heartbroken family of a war hero who died in battle say they found comfort after his organs saved the lives of four people.
On Wednesday, January 16, 23-year-old Kingsman Dave Shaw, of 1st Battalion The Duke of Lancaster's Regiment, became the 440th British soldier to die in Afghanistan since 2001 when he was shot by insurgents.
Shortly after he lost his life, his parents David snr and Jenny Shaw made the decision to allow their son's organs to be donated, saving the lives of seriously ill patients at Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Birmingham.
At the family home in Flass Meadows, Barrow, they opened up about their pain, but also their love and pride in a "mischievous" but "sensitive" young man.
The physically slight youngster, who developed into a role model for new recruits, died two days after being shot in Helmand Province on January 14.
"He wanted to be in the army since about year two in school," remembered Mrs Shaw, aged 50.
"Whenever they talked about what they wanted to be when they grow up he always said he was going to be a soldier."
Kgn Shaw's older sister Michelle, 29, and younger brother Charlie, 21, described their brother as having a "crazy sense of humour".
"He said to his senior officer during his training, 'I suppose I better call you sir?', that was our Dave all over," said Michelle.
Kgn Shaw joined the army in 2008 after swearing his Oath of Allegiance at the Territorial Army centre in Holker Street, and was driven to the barracks in Catterick on a snowy day in January.
Mr Shaw, 49, said: "I was pleased he'd decided he was going to do something, because it gave him some direction in life."
Mental strength and determination saw Kgn Shaw fulfil his dream of becoming a fully fledged infantryman at the age of 19.
"We were saying last summer how we had seen such a big change in him. I think it made him a man really," said Mr Shaw.
The excitement of his training ended with the call for his first Afghanistan tour in 2010, where he would spend the defining months of his life.
"It was tough. It was the first time he had been on active duty and it was worrying for all of us. He had never been away for so long."
Kgn Shaw's second tour of duty began in October 2012, and his family said he relished the extra responsibility his veteran status afforded him.
"All the younger ones were excited about getting into the action, but he was able to calm them down and tell them what it was really like,'' said Mrs Shaw.
The news that Mr and Mrs Shaw's son had been wounded came on Monday, January 14.
"I was at work, and a man from the MoD came round and told Sarah he was in theatre in Camp Bastion. It's one of the best hospitals in the world so we were quite hopeful."
Mr and Mrs Shaw were driven to Birmingham by the MoD, but say they had no idea what to expect when they arrived.
His younger sister Sarah Shaw, 25, said: "It didn't even for a second cross my mind that he would die. We were more worried about what to say to him when we saw him, rather than fearing the worst."
"We didn't know how bad it was until we got there. We were quite hopeful right up until we were told the prognosis, which wasn't good " said Mr Shaw.
"I did will him to wake up a few times. He just looked like he was asleep," added Sarah.
"We stroked his hair and squeezed his hand, hoping he would squeeze back. He just had a bandage on his neck, it's hard to look at somebody like that and think 'there's no hope'. That was the hardest thing," said Mr Shaw
Despite their suffering, Mr and Mrs Shaw believe their son gave his life to a cause worth fighting for.
"Just because they're not doing good right on our doorstep, doesn't mean they're not doing good at all. A lot of people say it isn't worth it but the things the army are doing in Afghanistan are fantastic," said Mr Shaw.
"When I think of what he did over there, and the people he helped after he died, I feel so proud," said Mrs Shaw.

Folks, its that time again!
Disc Stalker has rented Alexander Park on Saturday December 1st for the second annual Toys For Tots tournament. Here are the details.
We will be taking over the doubles play in the morning and will have two rounds of doubles play in the following format. In the morning it will be random draw with a pro/am pairing and will be best shot format. You will then play a second round with your partner in the afternoon, however instead of best shot, both of you will play a normal round playing the shots you throw and then the scores from all three will be summed to determine winners. Thus, if I play with someone in the morning and we shoot a 45, then we play again in the afternoon and my partner shoots a 50 and I shoot a 58 then our score will be (45 + 50 + 58) for a total of 153 for the two rounds.
Parings will be PRO/AM with each division determined by what a player shoots normally at Alex, 1/2 of the field will be PRO and the other will be AM. While we are still tweaking the separation, it will likely be based on around a 950 rating for play at Alex which is currently around a 53, thus if you normally shoot a 53 or lower then you would be categorized as a PRO and above as an AM. In order to get even pairings we will likely move that one way or another.
We'll use the course rating set after the Gwinnett County Open for Alex.
Registration is free with $20 dollars worth of toys or you can pay $20 dollars, If you want a t-shirt this year then its an additional $7.50 to cover our costs on them.
Sign up online at Disc Stalker at this link http://www.discstalker.com/tournament-for-tots/ or send us an email at "storemanager at discstalker.com"
The event facebook page is here http://www.facebook.com/events/152949288184972/ .
There will be no cash payouts, we will be looking for donations from individuals or businesses who will be listed as sponsors for the event for prizes and awards. Tifosi Sunglasses has ponied up a nice pair of sunglasses worth $60 dollars each for the winning team, so that's an example of that we are looking for as prizes and awards, of course Disc Stalker will be making up cool trophy discs, and other cool things.
More info to come, thanks for supporting this event, last year it was a great success with over $1200 raised for Metro Atlanta Toys For Tots.

Demo reel
Hi everyone!
I have decided to make a demo reel that will be completed on August 8th. So I'm going to post some of my animations that I will include in this thread, if you could, please leave some feedback/comments/critique so I can make the reel sparkle!
Re: Demo reel
That's good! Give the video more time to run the cycle.
Re: Demo reel
@Charles OK! Next time I make I walk, I'll let it run longer.
Ball Bounces....
Re: Demo reel
Let your cycled animation run for a few seconds. You're not giving it enough time. Get it to around 10 to 15 seconds.
These are all very good exercises for getting your basics down. Some of what you're doing with the bouncing ball may be overworked such as the squash and stretch, such as the stretch while it's falling to the ground. Overall you're doing a good job.
Re: Demo reel
thanks charles, im going to go back and make the squash and stretches more subtle soon.
heres the repeated run
and a walk cycle
Re: Demo reel
just a WIP. The shoulders are a bit off. What do you think?
Re: Demo reel
It looks like you're animating straight from Preston Blair's book. Why not animate your character Iron Duck? Apply the Blair principles to your character and let's see what happens.
Re: Demo reel
UPDATE: I'm still working on my demo reel. Here's a storyboard type thing of an animation I might put in:
http://i1261.photobucket.com/albums/ii5 ... ssions.jpg
Its called a "Thoughtful Animation" because someone suggested that I add a character animation where the character thinks, not just acts.
@Charles Making an IronDuck walk would be so cool but I'm still not comfortable drawing IronDuck to look the same in each frame. I need to keep drawing him to get out of my comfort zone and I'm working on that.
Re: Demo reel
an updated "thoughtful animation"
and a baseball pitch animation
Re: Demo reel
Bowling Ball Bounce
Re: Demo reel
Your CG work is coming along nicely.
Re: Demo reel
Thanks Charles!
Re: Demo reel
You're showing a knack for CG animation. Looking good. Keep it up.
Re: Demo reel
thanks charles, I will!
Heres a surfing animation! Took a while but I'm some what satisfied for now, need to add those arms still
Re: Demo reel
Here is a head turn. what do you think?
And a frolic cycle. should i keep this in the reel?
Re: Demo reel
Good head turn. Frolic is reading okay but could be more frolicy. Keep practicing and experimenting and you'll get it.

A Survival Manual for Regular Folks
What is the average Joe supposed to do with a military survival manual? They're written for the men and women of the armed forces. Regular folks in North America don't need to know how to hang glide off a mountain top or make a booby trap. They need a practical survival manual for getting through power outages, natural disasters, mishaps in the outdoors and shortages.
That's what sets Stay Alive! Survival Skills You Need apart from other survival manuals. It's a survival guide for everyday people anticipating typical disaster scenarios. These topics are covered in this essential survival manual:
* Must-have items of a survival kit
* Selecting essential tools: knives, saw, shovel
* Techniques for starting and maintaining a fire
* Creating or seeking smart shelters
* Collecting water in the wild
* Navigation in nature
* Finding food and preparing it safely in the wild
As the video above shows, author John D. McCann is a "practice what you preach" kind of author. He spends a lot of time in the field, testing and tweaking his techniques. If they didn't work, he didn't put them in this survival manual.
McCann's strategy seems to be working. Interest in his insights remains high. He is also the author of Build the Perfect Survival Kit, which is the perfect complement to Stay Alive!.
What are People Saying About this Survival Manual?
"It is written so that everyone, from novice to experienced survivalist, can learn from it." – Ellis M. Delahoy, Amazon reviewer
"John McCann writes this book in a very understandable way. He makes what he is teaching you seem like you already knew it. You just hadn't thought about it that way. It makes his lessons memorable. I have never written a book review before, but this book deserved it." – Molon Labe, Amazon reviewer
"I like all of the color photos and every chapter is very complete in its content." – Francisco Loaiza, Amazon reviewer
A Quick Survival Tip from the Author
McCann's survival manual is full of great tips. This one is from the Fire & Light chapter:
"I have been carrying a small pencil sharpener in my fire kit for years. It is my tinder maker. It works really well on small sticks found laying around. It is even effective when wood is wet, as you can scrape off the wet outside, then make plenty of shavings from the nice dry wood inside."

To complement their tactical mission we have given each blade a tough, black, Teflon® finish. Our testing has shown this coating offers three major advantages for tactical blades. First, it helps the blade to resist rust. Second, it eliminates glare and light reflections, which may give its user away. And third, it's a superior lubricant, which causes the blade to slip through even tough material with markedly less friction. This means you can cut deeper and far longer than with a non-Teflon® coated blade. To make the Recon 1® as easy to open and carry as possible we have equipped each knife with a thumb disc and small extra strong pocket clip. This clip is completely ambidextrous so lefties please take note. What's more its small size doesn't abrade or irritate the palm under protracted use.
Thin, light, sharp and incredibly tough, the Recon 1 is willing and able to aid you on your next mission!

Limited series
Should you have any questions about Piaget luxury watches, please call us at 1-877-8PIAGET or Email the concierge .
Purity and classicism are glorified in this ultra-thin platinum watch, which embodies the historical esthetic codes of Piaget. An elegant gray dial with the word "platinum" screen-printed across the entire surface, together with extremely slender baton hands, accentuate the minimalist design of this contemporary-sized Altiplano featuring off-centered small seconds. The movement appears through a sapphire crystal case back marked with the word "platinum" as a reminder of its exclusive nature.
838P movement
A variation on the 830P movement, the 838P movement is an ultra-thin hand-wound mechanical movement with an increased power reserve compared to its predecessors, and measuring only 2.5 mm thick. It is a direct descendant of the legendary 9P movement and belongs to the third generation of ultra-thin movements created by the watchmaker Piaget. The movement is enhanced with a screw balance, as befits an example of Fine Watchmaking. While losing none of the extreme finesse inherited from the 830P movement, the 838P movement is distinguished by the addition of an off-centered small seconds indication at 10 o'clock, the true hallmark of Piaget. Finally, the circular Côtes de Genève, circular-grained mainplate, beveled bridges, blued screws and engraved Piaget coat-of-arms round off this exceptional movement, while remaining true to the esthetic codes cherished by the Swiss watchmaking brand.

"...education doesn't go on in ... rooms of our legislative buildings. It happens in classrooms..." Is classroom the only place?
It seems that our creativity as a society would have to also evolve beyond the context in which we see education. The possibilities of what education is or could be, I believe is more than just a classroom. Education associated with a one physical location, as a school, would continue to fall under conformity and standardization. Let's see education as it is, that is, Education Happens in Society - home, media, role models, communities, offices, social gatherings, war and so on. Our world is education as seen by each unique being. Classroom is just a piece of it.
May 12 2013: I believe that you have taken the idea out of context here. Sir Ken Robinson was making the point that it is not legislators who should be in charge of education but teachers and educators.
May 12 2013: Kathryn, may I ask where do you expect to find teachers and educators?May 12 2013: Hi Adebo,
I really agree with this.
As a parent, I take on a responsibility that is greater than making sure my kids are fed, clothed and sheltered. They need to become confident, independent, decision-making individuals, and I can never rely solely on a classroom to ensure that. In fact, it would be foolish to do so.
But I know lots of parents who see their children roughly a half hour before they drop them off at daycare, and an hour if they're lucky, at dinnertime, before the kids go to bed.
Being a part of a capitalist society and raising children at the same time is a challenge.
I can easily say, "Make time". But there are simply so many hours in the day.
I have a feeling, and correct me if I'm wrong, that this may contributing to why so much pressure is put on schools and educators to take all the responsibility of educating, and actually raising, other people's kids.
"Education Happens in Society" - as long as all sides of the story are represented.
May 12 2013: Thank you. This is my point, as we point our fingers at legislative and school, we must not forget us, our PERSONAL responsibility. It sometime seems like there are two agendas regarding the talks on education revolution - one is looking for non-standardized system while another is looking for the best babysitter for our kids.
Lizanne, I like to encourage you to actively inspire other parents through your example.
May 13 2013: I'll certainly try, Abedo!
I am not the type to preach, especially when it comes to parenting, but I do jump at the opportunity to share ideas with parents I know about ways to educate our kids outside the classroom.
When my kids have a play-date, or a birthday party, I'm the kind of Mom that comes up with a sort of mini lesson, in a super fun way though! A scavenger hunt in the woods, building volcano, Googling famous artists, making up music... Poor things, they think they're going to play with Barbies and cars all afternoon...but no!
greg dahlen
May 12 2013: well, it takes a village to raise a child, and we are all children
- +1
May 12 2013: Greg, I believe this was the point I wanted to convey. Thanks for your concise input.May 12 2013: The history of what we use as education is not that old. Mostly modeled after supporting a war by assembly lines. At present, twice the tax can be collected if both parents are removed from the home. Could this be the change that ends the learning process of what a home is and make mass murder seem OK. How much mass murder was there outside of war in the 50's. What makes a student want to learn? Could it be love for a good parent. What shape would we be in if it was love of congress? Why is education being positioned to collect more revenue now that the world seems sick of war. GED allows you to seek employment at WalMart, College is what they tell you is needed to have a job that will change the world- paid for by the student. Seems like they should at least be able to build a road without pot holes. What is the formal education of the 16th president of the US (top 5 of most, Lincoln-3 yrs).May 12 2013: You make a good point, but there is a significant challenge to the idea that education should happen throughout society. Since World War II western societies have grown more and more anti-intellectual with as time has passed. Learning, knowledge, and reason are seen as personal character flaws. Those who know are seen as arrogant and potentially dangerous. Anyone who suggests that one thing is right, and another is wrong, is seen as elitist, judgemental, and ideological. It's so subsumed in our culture that it's not even an issue that is debated any longer, it has been accepted as foundational. Those with intellectual skill are socially retarded, have dangerous hubris, and are fundamentally worse people than those who rely on intuition. All of the flaws of reasoning that humans are prone to are enshrined. Smearing the speaker to defeat a proposed idea, ignoring counterevidence and overstating collaborative evidence, assuming correlation and causation are the same thing, using tricks of language to persuade people emotionally rather than rationally, encouraging abandonment of "abstract principles" in favor of expediency, etc are the ways the "good people" in society now conduct themselves. So a few hundred thousand doctors tell you to get your kids vaccinated? A lady down the street knows someone who has an autistic kid and she KNOWS the vaccines did it.
There is no crisis of lack of information, or lack of access to education. We live in a golden age for that. The problem is that society despises the practice of reason. They see it as a significant character flaw. They see it as restrictive and dangerous. Until that changes, society simply cannot be a place where learning happens everywhere. Learning takes a back seat to having to pledge allegiance, to agreeing with people to prove you like them and are like them, to following your gut or following the other guy following his.
May 12 2013: Wow! I like this. Thanks for sharing. Now I am glad I wrote my question.
"The problem is that society despises the practice of reason" would you say this is simply because we are not taking PERSONAL responsibility but expecting and blaming whatever we agree to blame?May 12 2013: Guys in the back of my mind I find the call of self-study coming through strongly. Look at the polymaths in our human history and the personalty types that do self-study.

May 12 2013: Thanks Kate...May 11 2013: American Indian author/educator/professor, Four Arrows, offers REASONS for why schooling fails true goals AND offers ways to achieve them.
In his new book, endorsed by such notable educators as Noam Chomsky, John Pilger, etc., entitled, TEACHING TRULY: A CURRICULUM TO INDIGENIZE MAINSTREAM EDUCATION. After exposing hegemonic basis for curriculum and standards, he offers complementary and proven teaching and learning approaches that Indigenous cultures used for thousands of years prior to colonization. His internationally recognized work and his provacative and engaging presentations make him an ideal candidate for a TED talk! Go to amazon.com to see why so many major and noted thinkers say that Four Arrows book may be "our last chance.May 11 2013: I have never heard anyone express a counter view to yours. Does something in particular bring this question to your mind?
May 12 2013: Sure, I would like to hear him say explicitly that Education is beyond schooling. It seems like talks of education revolution are attempting to standardize "un-standardized" form of schooling, which was why I mentioned a look at out-of-classroom education. This mean you and I would begin to take responsibility of educating kids in our communities rather than expecting teachers as the only educators.
May 12 2013: I think the reason speakers might not explicitly state that education takes place also outside of schooling is precisely because everyone understands this fact and has throughout history. People of all ages learn from the full spectrum of life experiences, but learning things from parents and in community is very well established practice, including in primitive societies.
For the last decade or so there has been a particular focus on getting parents and community involved in activities for learning readiness before kids start school and as collaborators with school.
In typical schools in the US and, I expect elsewhere, there are internship programs, service learning, bringing people from the community into school, and taking students out of school into the community. There are after school programs in community all over town, whether for sports, the arts, science experiences, cultural events, and so forth, not to mention informal opportunities like social gatherings and festivals.
Now there are lots of online learning opportunities, and in the US, I know, there are libraries and community centers which offer free programs and make computer resources available so that learners can take advantage of online resources.
Museums and so forth here have lots of special programs for kids and teens during and after school hours, and many organizations that use public space need in exchange to commit to opening the doors for specific learning programs for kids.
I just haven't heard anyone claim that teachers are the only educators, because that would be an entirely strange idea against a backdrop in which people assume lots of learning of all kinds takes place in family and community.
PS I taught all my kids to read, worked with all of them on their writing, and taught them a large proportion of their math. I have also worked with hundreds of kids outside of school on recreational math over the last fifteen years.

Oscar's Training Guide for the PE to EL Challenge
Who's Ready for Pure Core?
One of the single toughest physical events anywhere in the world is approaching - the longest, most gruelling surfski race anywhere. You guessed it, the Surf Ski Challenge, Port Elizabeth to East London. It's nothing but pure hardcore racing over four days between two famous coastal cities: 244km's over one of the world's most treacherous coastlines.

Thanks for the many responses to the Challenge questionnaire. Here is a bullet summary of the feed back.

The Challenge - PE2EL Update
Paddlers have fewer than 100 days to train for the single most challenging event in the Surfski calendar: the 244km Port Elizabeth to East London "Surfski Challenge".
Changes this year include the omission of Woody Cape on the first day, and the one-way running of the race. In the past, organisers have run sections of the course "backwards" during bad weather to give paddlers a downwind leg. Not this year. In addition the Sunday is being reserved as a spare day in case any of the other days has to be cancelled due to inclement weather.

PE to EL Entries Open 1 August
THE world's longest, most gruelling surfski challenge is gearing up for another exciting set of qualifying rounds, with entrance to the event opening on August 1.
A four-stage marathon which runs 244km along the coast between Port Elizabeth and East London, the PE2EL Surfski Challenge is held under guidance of professional sports company Sports World on behalf of Eastern Cape Lifesaving.

New Look PE to EL Challenge
Michael Zoetmulder, head of the organising committee for the 2006 PE to EL Surf Ski Challenge, has announced the dates and some further details...
The race will be run from 13th to 16th December with 17th December allocated as a reserve day.

Changes to Classic Races: Justifiable or not?
As we all know, Surf Ski is growing as a sport. But that growth is presenting race organisers with a dilemma. More and more paddlers want to enter the "classic" races like the Cape Point Challenge and the PE to EL Challenge. But these races have reputations for extreme conditions, both in terms of endurance and the sea states that can occur on the course.

When people talk about classic country songwriters, they often speak of Harlan Howard, Cindy Walker, Jerry Chesnutt and Dallas Frazier.
But Gordon Lightfoot — best known in America for FM radio hits such as "Sundown" and "The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald," and best known in his native Canada as the nation's "folk laureate" — has numerous, three-minute claims to classic-country-songwriter status.
Lightfoot — who plays Saturday, March 6 at the Ryman Auditorium — penned songs recorded by Country Music Hall of Famers Marty Robbins, Johnny Cash and Flatt & Scruggs, and his compositions "Early Morning Rain," "Ribbon of Darkness," "For Loving Me" and "Ten Degrees and Getting Colder" have weathered decades and become country standards.
"The first time someone from Nashville cut a song of mine was Marty Robbins, with 'Ribbon of Darkness,'" said Lightfoot, 71. "He sped it up and did a wonderful job, and I still use his arrangement to this day. After Marty, I got to meet quite a few Nashville guys, and I made a couple of albums down there. George Hamilton IV had one of the best cuts, on 'Early Morning Rain.' I came down and did Johnny Cash's television show, and got to meet Kris Kristofferson and Mickey Newbury and Waylon Jennings and a lot of others."
Lightfoot was a driven, voracious writer who put out 13 albums in his career's first 10 years, between 1966 and 1976. In the new century, he has been slowed by a near-fatal abdominal hemorrhage, though not by the recent Internet rumors of his death. Greatly exaggerated, those.

Fairfax County won't be seeing any noteworthy increases in state funding this year, but it also might avoid a drop in the overall revenue it receives from Virginia.
Under either the House or Senate version of the budget, the county would see about $3.7 million more in state funding for general county services, according to a staff analysis, but could see an equivalent cut in school funding.
Gov. Bob McDonnell's (R) budget eliminates the so-called "cost of competing" funding for school support staff that some jurisdictions, including Fairfax County, receive to help provide salaries in line with the higher cost of living here.
This wouldn't affect teacher salaries, but would reduce the amount of state money the county has to pay guidance counselors, teacher aides and other support staff.
"The teachers will tell you that those personnel … are just as important to the operating of the school," said Supervisor Jeff McKay (D-Lee), chairman of the Board of Supervisors Legislative Committee.
The net loss for the Fairfax school system from McDonnell's proposal is $4 million.
"We have to fund it, or we will lose people," McKay said.
The House of Delegates restored half the funding while the Senate restored all of the 2014 cut, plus partially restoring funds cut in fiscal 2013. The Senate budget would have a net positive for the school system of about $200,000, according to the staff analysis.
The biggest difference between the different budget proposals is how they treat Medicaid funding. McDonnell and the House of Delegates do not favor expanding Medicaid coverage to people with incomes up to 133 percent of the federal poverty line, as envisioned in the federal Affordable Care Act.
The Senate budget does plan for the Medicaid expansion, which will come with a boost of federal funding.
"It would be a mistake to leave federal dollars on the table," said Senate Democratic Leader Richard Saslaw (D-Dist. 35) in a released statement praising the Senate vote. "This commonsense improvement to the budget is not only fiscally responsible, but will give many low-income working families the health care they deserve and create jobs."
McKay said the county strongly supports the Medicaid expansion because it would benefit about 25,000 to 30,000 people in the county and could decrease the amount of money that the county and local nonprofits and hospitals spend on charity health care services.
"We would be crazy in Virginia to not take advantage of the expansion," McKay said. If the state doesn't accept the federal money, he said, it will mean Virginia taxpayers' dollars will in essence be shifted to fund Medicaid programs in other states.
The Senate budget also includes a bit more funding for a few items of interest to Fairfax County, according to the county staff analysis.
The Senate budget bill includes about $3 million more for the Infant and Toddler Connection program statewide, above a $3 million increase that McDonnell proposed. Fairfax has struggled to meet the growing demand for the program locally due to budget constraints.
The Senate budget also includes $2 million for a transit study for the Route 1 corridor in Fairfax and Prince William counties that is not included in the House budget.
The differences between the two sets of budget amendments will be reconciled in a conference committee.

MINNEAPOLIS -- A retired Atlanta, Georgia, police detective journeyed to Minnesota Monday in hopes of saving her house. Jacqueline Barber, 62, faces eviction later this month after having her home sold in foreclosure.
"I want my house back because it was bought illegally," Barber told KARE 11. "It was an illegal foreclosure."
Barber said she was in the process of obtaining a loan modification for her home in Fayetteville, Georgia, when the house was sold in a foreclosure action in March. She faces a court eviction hearing on December 11 in Georgia unless a deal can be worked out with the financial institution controlling her loan.
Barber came to Minneapolis to join with "Occupy Minnesota" protestors, who campaign against bank foreclosures on homes. On Monday, a group of about two dozen protestors and Barber supporters marched and chanted through skyways from the Hennepin County Government Center to US Bank Headquarters on the Nicollet Mall.
They presented what they said were 20,000 signatures on petitions supporting Barber's efforts to stay in her home. Barber is raising four grandchildren, ages 3,4,6 and 10, in the house.
"If they foreclose and evict us, we will be out," said Barber. "Right now, we do not have any place to go and here it is right at Christmastime. It is hard to explain to a 4-year old why you cannot put your Christmas tree up yet because we do not know what the situation is going to be."
Barber is a 20-year veteran of the Atlanta Police Department. In her career, among other duties, she functioned as an undercover narcotics officer. She was diagnosed with bone cancer and retired early from the Department. Then, she purchased the house for herself and the grandchildren.
Barber said the City of Atlanta changed and downsized her workman's comp payments. At the same time, her adjustable rate mortgage rate and payments soared. The economic double whammy caused her to default on the house payments to Wells Fargo Bank. The house went into foreclosure.
Barber came to Minneapolis because she said she believed that US Bank had purchased her home in the foreclosure sale for $150,000. The petitions were presented to US Bank representatives. However, US Bank spokesperson Tom Joyce said "We had nothing to do with the foreclosure or eviction process for the property."
Instead, said Joyce, US Bank is the "Trustee" for a pool of mortgages, including Barber's. "As trustee, we act as the central repository for all information regarding loans in the trust...That is why you see our name on various filings associated with the property, but we have no ownership or authority over any of the individual loans in the trust. That is the role of the servicer for each loan."
The servicer of Barber's loan is actually GMAC, based in Bloomington. Susan Fitzpatrick, Director of Communications for ResCap (GMAC), explained that "GMAC-RFC does not own this property, nor does the current occupant. GMAC-RFC is managing the sale on behalf of the trustee, U.S. Bank. U.S. Bank, as trustee, holds the title for the benefit of the investors in a trust."
However, GMAC does have authority over Barber's property and insists they are continuing "to work with the current occupant, on behalf of the trust... if the occupant (Barber) submits a valid purchase offer for the property, GMAC-RFC will review the offer on behalf of the trust."
Jacqueline Barber said that is exactly what she wants to happen. She wants a deal that will allow her to repurchase the house, at a price and interest rate that she can afford. She told KARE 11 that attorney's for both her and GMAC are working to find a solution.
Barber said she included her paystubs and other documents along with the stack of petitions to prove her ability to make the new loan payments.

lemon peels, cut into 1/4 inch strips
orange peels, cut into 1/4 inch strips
2 cups
white sugar
1 cup
1/3 cup
white sugar for decoration
Ok, I have now made this recipe about 6 times, and after playing around I think I perfected it. TIPS: use a veg peeler -- not the whole rind. I learned that the hard way. When laying it out to dry on racks, DO NOT dredge in sugar!!! It just gets all caked on and looks gross. Just lay it out as is. Dry for about 12 hours (overnight -- no less than 12hrs.) and when it it still a little tacky to the touch, put a handful in a zip top baggy, THEN add a tablespoon or so of sugar and shake gently. Add another handful and another T. of sugar... Repeat until all of the peel is in the bag and lightly covered in sugar. Done this way they come out very pretty dusted in sugar, and nice and tender to bite into. Perfect!
Here are tips to making excellent peels: Boil the peels 3-4 times each for 5 minutes: you don't want the texture to be mushy. Drain and rinse after each boil. Simmer the peels in the sugar syrup for approximately an hour till the peels are translucent. I would not recommend doing the lemon and orange together I would do that separately. once you strain the syrup from the peels, save the syrup adjust sweetness and add to iced tea. DO NOT roll the peels in sugar while they are hot, they will be clumpy and use up extra sugar that will fall off. let them cool for about an hour and roll in sugar. let dry ( takes a day or two) and you can keep them in an airtight container for weeks.( You can still use them for baking after a few hours of drying.)

Here is a bitter,sweet trick. Put the peels in the sugar/water and simmer to 230 degrees F.or soft thread,this makes it less bitter,then roll in sugar,let dry,dip half in melted choclate and then in a little flaked coconut. make great for x-mas. YOUR FAMILY WILL LOVE IT.
I made this recipe for my mother. And then found out these (formerly) creepy things were no relation to the awful peel found in fruitcake, a pleasant surprise - they really have a fresh fruity flavor, no bitterness at all. I washed fruit before cutting up. Then boiled about 15 minutes, changed water and repeated twice. I used 3 oranges, 1 grapefruit, 2 lemons and (after listening to my brother) 2 limes. The limes were quite difficult to get the pulp out since they were tiny and firm, pieces were much smaller than others. I think I would look for softer fruit if I decided to use lime again. But they added nice color to the mix, even though they lost their bright green color, they still were pretty. Because I used more fruit, I increased syrup recipe by 50%, could've gone to twice the recipe as it barely covered the peels. My brother said Grandma used a plate to keep peel submerged, but I didn't trust a plate in boiling syrup, so just pressed occasionally with slotted spoon. I also threw in a good handful of dried cranberries, they turned out beautiful. Now I have a ton of candied fruit drying on my table, it made a cookie sheet full about 1/2 - 3/4" deep (will separate later for better drying). It was very labor intensive, but did part Saturday and finished Sunday. All in all, a very successful adventure.
This recipe was really good.... I plan to give the finished product away as gifts. I filled little zip lock baggies with the orange peels, and then I added a handful of chocolate chips to the bag. That's because as good as this recipe was, it tastes even better with chocolate (and the chocolate chips make the presentation look prettier). Also, I'm not sure if everyone else had this same problem, but it took FOREVER for the peels to dry out. I thought it was only supposed to take 5 hours or so, instead, it was taking 2 days... so I finally preheated the oven to 350, then turned it off and put the peels in there (kinda like meringues). Thanks for the recipe!
Wasn't sure if I needed to remove the pith for this recipe or not...so to be on the safe side I did. However next time I think I will just change the water out several times while boiling them in the first step so it shouldn't be necessary. I did half lemon & half orange (In separate batches because I want to store them separately)...both are so yummy I can't stay out of them. If they weren't so labor intensive I would be eating them by the handfuls. LOL Because I removed the pith I was able to save the water from the first boiling & make orange & lemon simple syrups.
This is a really good recipe! I didn't make the lemon, just the orange slices. The most difficult part was the clean-up! Remember that whatever is left of the sugar mix, will dry very hard, very quickly, so if you're throwing any leftover mix out, don't pour it down the sink!! I did it carelessly and had to boil some more water to dissolve the hardened sugar on the sink! The slices taste great though. I dipped them is melted chocolate and they are divine!
I decided to make these after picking oranges from my sister's tree. After jucing them I looked at all the orange rinds and decided to make just the candied oranges. I boiled in fresh water three times. In the interest of saving time, and against my better judgment, I used a reviewer's suggestion of putting them in the oven to dry. DO NOT do this, as the sugar coating liquified into a pool of sugar syrup, hence adding more time to the already labor intensive process. I had to backstep and rehandle these little morsels all over again in recoating with sugar to dry the long way. You need a lot of sheet pans, counter space or an empty table to let them dry. In the end, it was worth it! Very sweet and fruity and borderline addicting! Thanks for the recipe.

As told by Richard Johnston:
Sequoyah Park started out as a small article in the local Cherokee Tribune. I read that the Cherokee Recreation and Parks Dept had just acquired some land on Vaughn Road and would begin clearing the land for the park soon. Having already made my mind up to watch for an opportunity to install a course, I decided to check out the property to see how it might fit as a disc golf course. I drove by, really could not see much as only a small portion of the land actually bordered Vaughn Rd. and the land looked pretty rough.
Starting back in the summer of 96, I started speaking with Keith Hammond, CRPA Director, about the possibility of a disc golf course at Sequoyah Park. He was very receptive having seen the sport played at Wills Park while there for little league events. After 18 months of occasional contact with Keith, he informed me that CRPA's plans had progressed and they were actually considering putting in a course and could I come to their next board meeting and present my proposal for a disc golf course! I was ecstatic, presented the plan, the board approved it as an initial 9 hole course, only one problem, the county budget just did not have enough funds for this activity, could pay for 1/3 or for 3 baskets and I would have to install the course. By this time, I had solicited the help of friends, Don Austin in particular, helped tremendously both installing the course but also in donating money for the purchase of the remaining baskets. Don and I sponsored one each (and eventually each another for the back 9) as well as many of the local golfers. A list of them is at the end of the article – please thank them as the course would not be possible without their generous contribution.
The course open in early 98 with the initial course design of 9 holes with a plan to put in the other 9 over time. After further meetings with the board of directors, we obtained approval to put in the back 9. Don and I even loaned CRPA funds to cover four of the baskets that were to be sponsored by them. The next installment added 3 more holes to make 12. After another 9 months we were able to get the full 18 holes installed in a configuration that resembles the course today.
Don and I provided the bulk of the sweat equity to install the course including tree/brush cutting and removal, concrete work, you name it! Over this period of time we met other locals interested in helping work on the course. This group later became know as the Secret Snakes, the name seemed to fit our group character. The Snakes are Richard Johnston, Don Austin, Steve Smith, Jay Voss, John Chapman, Steve Brown, Bob Brent, Tom Schoen, and Steve Nelson. These guys have contributed their own funds as well as countless hours of work on the course. Anyone who has played here in the early days can testify to the amount of change that has occurred here.

Claude Monet's passions extended far beyond the water lilies, sunsets and landscapes of his famous paintings. Connecting the painter's love of art and his profound appreciation for food, MONET'S PALATE embarks on a culinary tour of Normandy, where Monet lived and worked in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The documentary, introduced by Academy Award-winning actress Meryl Streep, offers a revealing portrait of the father of Impressionist painting. The production, shot entirely on location in Paris, London and Giverny, includes exclusive footage taken inside the home where the artist and notorious gourmand lived for 43 years. MONET'S PALATE visits Monet's exquisite dining room, where the artist entertained guests such as Marcel Proust and Paul Cezanne. Some of today's greatest chefs, including Roger Verge, prepare some of Monet's favorite meals using Normandy's native ingredients. Dishes include: flambe duck with apple and "Sailors' Mussels," a regional delicacy. Later, Alice Waters and Daniel Boulud discuss Monet's passion for art and fine cuisine.

To "throw out the baby with the bathwater" is a German idiom dating back to at least the 1500s (originally das Kind mit dem Bade ausschütten). It's a caution to not discard something good in your haste to discard something bad.
Its first well-known use in English is in an essay by the Scottish philosopher Thomas Carlyle, addressing the slave trade that ran through England in the 1800s. However, Carlyle was using it as an excuse to not abolish slavery, or at least transition it to serfdom. If only the phrase had a more positive introduction to the English language, perhaps it would have caught on quicker.
The idiom has also famously been used by Martin Luther, Johannes Kepler, Goethe, Otto von Bismarck, and George Bernard Shaw.

Married men may think helping around the house may up their hotness quotient in the bedroom, but what really matters is the type of chore. Heterosexual married men who spend their time doing yard work, paying bills and changing the oil have more sex than husbands who spend their time cooking, cleaning and shopping, according to a new study on the subject of housework and sex.
"Households with a more traditional gender division of labor report higher sexual frequency than households with less traditional gender divisions of labor," says Sabino Kornrich, lead author of a study that appears in the February issue of the American Sociological Review. "Housework is something that people use as a very important way to express gender, masculinity and femininity. We weren't surprised to think that sex might be more tied to this type of gender expression."
Other studies have found that men who make the bed also get to romp around in it more often. But Kornrich and his research team from the Center for Advanced Studies at the Juan March Institute in Madrid wanted to test claims that women might exchange sex for mens participation in housework.

Pro-Tips: How To Make A Good DJ Mix
May 21, 2014 via Pepsi
Pro-Tips: How To Make A Good DJ Mix
Aside from your guests, the most important part of an event you're hosting will undoubtedly be the music (yes, even more important than the food). From selection of tracks to appropriately crafting the right mood for the evening, a DJ Mix can make or break your event. Here's a series of tips on how to make your mix — and therefore your night — memorable.
What's the Occasion?
Are you making a mix for an all-night dance-a-thon? An industrial art show? A romantic night for you and your significant other? All of these occasions call for drastically different approaches to how you decide to craft your mix. Keep this in mind when deciding whether it's appropriate to throw on an incredibly high-energy cut verses an intimate slow jam.
Know Your Audience.
What're your guests into? Do they hate screamo? Are they sick of EDM? Does no one there appreciate '90s R&B? These are the questions you should consider when putting your mix together. After all, you're not making it for yourself, you're making it for your guests.
Don't Be Afraid of Switching Up the Genre.
Any good hip-hop mix can use a dose of R&B slow jams, just like a trap music mix can benefit from some timely dosage of UGK. Just because the majority of your music may consist of one particular genre doesn't mean you can't pepper your music with a little flavor here and there. Keep it interesting, and branch out!
Don't Just Throw it on Shuffle.
Sequencing your mix is just as important as selecting the actual songs in it. That means no throwing on shuffle and letting the fates decide what will play when. Pick a part of the mix where things slow down for ample time for people to get close (or get a breather), and then a good set of tracks to ramp things back up. Having a shuffle will just make the flow of the mix a complete disaster.
Transitions are Key.
Nothing screams "amateur" more than having a playlist of songs without smooth transitions. Use a program like Virtual DJ to beat match between the tracks to ensure a smooth ride the whole way through. Not only that, but make sure you pick a good time in the song to begin the transition. Most songs need to be over after two, maybe three minutes. No one needs to hear all three verses when you're trying to cram a ton of tracks into the night!
Take Pride in Your Work!
It's the little things that count, like making sure all of your music has artwork (especially if you're sharing your mix down the line), making sure none of your tracks are of low audio quality, and doing your best to avoid cuts littered with DJ drops (this isn't always possible with the newest music, but it never hurts to look for an alternate version). Crossing your Ts and dotting your Is just reflects better on you when the time comes for others to check out your mix.
Have a Theme
It's hard for a long mix to have a central theme without limiting yourself too much, but it's easy to insert little themes throughout. For example, why not throw a few cuts in back to back the celebrate the ladies? Or how about a nice little Wu-Tang mix to spice things up and throw in back? There's always room to insert themes here and there in creative and exciting ways.
Keep Up with the Times.
Look, everyone knows that "Hypnotize" and "Empire State of Mind" are classic songs, but why not throw something on that shows you've really kept up on the times? There's no award for throwing on as many well-known tracks as possible, and in fact, that could make for a pretty boring night. Don't be a prisoner to the classics, show us you've listened to something from this decade!
Spread Knowledge.
As important as it is to remain current, it's equally important to skim beneath the surface. Look, everyone's heard that Lorde song, so why not check out what else is going on out there? What mixtapes dropped this weeks? What singles are making the rotations online? Is there something you can borrow from the latest Diplo mix? Introduce yourself (and your guests) to something new, and everyone benefits.
Sharing is Caring.
What's the point in making a great mix if your friends can't listen to it later? Soundcloud, Dropbox, and a dozens of options are out there for you to easily and effectively share your labor of love to the ones that matter to you most. An underrated benefit is that you'll keep getting props even after the party's done. If you're using a file transfer program like dropbox, save it in a ZIP file so that people can open up the file and have the tracks in order.

When it comes to hunting, you don't want to leave anything to chance. With PMC's Precision line you get the best of both worlds combining PMC's world renowned loading prowess with Hornady's legendary Interlock bullet technology. The Interlock bullet features an interlocking ring which lock the core and jacket together. This is a step up from standard hunting loads where the risk of jacket/core separation can result in incomplete weight retention and insufficient penetration depth. Additionally, the tapered jacket on this projectile is designed for controlled expansion. Finally, for great accuracy you can count on the aerodynamic secant ogive bullet design which produces flatter, more accurate trajectories.
This PMC Precision ammo is loaded with exacting tolerances to produce hand loading consistency. When you take to the field this year, consider using PMC Precision ammo which yields better quality for your shooting dollar.
PMC ammunition is manufactured in South Korea by the Poongsan Corporation (ISO certified) which produces cartridges ranging from small arms ammunition to large howitzer rounds for the S. Korean military. The Poongsan Corporation dates back to 1968 and since its founding it has grown to become on one of the world's largest manufacturers and suppliers of ammunition.
In addition loading cartridges, PMC also manufactures all of their own components from raw materials. This complete control over the supply chain allows for PMC to control the quality of each component providing for greater consistency than ammunition loaders that source their materials from a variety of suppliers.
This precision manufactured ammunition is brass-cased, boxer-primed, non-corrosive, and reloadable.

A former Winston Churchill High School football player has been arrested in connection with a College Park fight on March 27 that sent the other participant to the hospital with a head injury.
The Prince George's County Police Department arrested Arasp Biparva, 21, of the 7500 block of Girard Avenue in College Park, on Thursday. Biparva admitted his involvement in the fight and has been charged with first- and second-degree assault, according a press release put out by the police.
In the early hours of March 27, Biparva and another man, both students at the University of Maryland, got into a fight outside a bar near the intersection of Knox Road and Baltimore Avenue in College Park. The police arrived at about 2 a.m. and found an unconscious man suffering from an apparent head injury, according to the press release. The victim was taken to a local hospital.
Biparva worked for the university as a teaching assistant in the business school. In the fall of 2012, Biparva made the Robert H. Smith School of Business dean's list, with a semester GPA of 3.500 or higher, according to the business school's website.
Biparva graduated from Winston Churchill High School in 2009, where he played offensive lineman-defensive tackle for the Bulldogs. His football coach at the time, Greg Neuendorf, described him in 2008 Gazette article as "a very competitive kid who plays with a high motor and has a bunch of sacks and tackles for loss this year."
Police had no further information on the arrest Saturday morning.
Anyone with information about this incident should call the Prince George's County Police Department's Regional Investigative Division-North at 301-699-2601. Callers can remain anonymous by calling CRIME SOLVERS at 866-411-TIPS (8477).

1/4 cup

1/3 cup

1 teaspoon

I was desperately wanting to make a "homemade" cheesecake...chocolate nonetheless and was suprised when I saw this one. It's exactly like the one in an old Taste of Home issue. It actually ranked as a runner-up in their cheesecake contest so I decided to give it a try. The only alteration I made was to use crushed oreo cookies in place of the wafer crumbs because I didn't have any. Needless to say, this turned out beautifully...and it being my first real cheesecake, I was very proud of myself. Thanks for posting this Diane.
This was alright, everyone took off the top chocolate layer as it was too rich & hard, but in my opinion, the chocolate cheesecake layer was too bitter. I won't be making this again, I'm still searching for a great chocolate cheesecake recipe.
183 Ratings
Great cheesecake! I would cut the topping in half though - it was too thick and weighed down the cheesecake - made it sink. I'd definitely make it again though. Thanks for the recipe!
pretty good, rich cheesecake, although the chocolate topping was not necessary. it was really heavy and my boyfriend and i ended up picking it off. if i make this again i would not put the topping on it.
I have never made a cheesecake before in my life and decided to give this one a try for my husband's birthday. It was easy enough to make (for a first-timer) and the end result was fabulous! I received rave reviews from friends and family (all chocolate lovers)! My only suggestion would be to maybe try another type of chocolate icing on top...I was very, very hard after refrigerating it and it made it difficult to eat. (It did taste great though.) You should also note that the recipe doesn't mention that to make the crust you also have to add the 1/4 cup of melted butter to the chocolate crubs and sugar...(I think that part waas overlooked in the recipe.) Otherwise, it was amazing!!!
I took other people's advice here and doubled the cream when making the topping and then used only a thin layer. (Most of it ended up unused. Next time I'll just halve the chocolate chips.) Drizzled caramel on top of that was a yummy addition. This cheesecake was a big hit!
excellent recipe !!!! TIP FOR TOPPING =make a ganache=100gms chocolate with 100ml cream...this creates a great cream topping. Chill cake completely BEFORE spreading on top. TIP FOR NO CRACKS=use parchment paper for lining of pan (bottom and sides) to prevent cracks AND leave in oven for 1 hour prior to removing from oven once baked. TIP TO ENHANCE CHOCOLATE FLAVOR= a pinch of cayenne pepper. TIP FOR CRUST= if you have no chocolate cookies then use vanilla wafers, sugar, butter and cocoa powder. and lastly, I used 4 eggs....ENJOY ..you'll be a hit at any party !!!!
Excellent cheesecake but the topping was too heavy. The next time, I made small cakes using foil cupcake cups and made a chocolate ganache using one ounce semi-sweet choc. to each oz. of heavy cream. Heat cream to just boiling, pour over chocolate til melted, let cool somewhat then pour over individual cheesecakes. Ganache will firm in fridge. Topped each one with strawberry half=dipped in chocolate. Big hit!
