There's no need to bombard you with every former player's thoughts on Robert Griffin III's benching. But some are more interesting than others, especially when they're a quarterback who played for Mike Shanahan.
(Given how Donovan McNabb fared in Washington, I won't be looking at a whole lot of what he had to say. The lack-of-hard-work angle from when he was here did not just come from the coaches. Maybe McNabb did not like some things and has valid points, but he didn't help his own cause and then by flopping in Minnesota, too, he showed that the problem really was him).
Anyway, USA Today's Jim Corbett caught up with former Denver Broncos quarterback Jake Plummer. His feelings were more mixed than I anticipated. I don't really care how about what Plummer thinks about Shanahan's future in Washington. He can't provide insight into anything other than his own experiences. And you must also add: Plummer was a better quarterback under Shanahan than he was in Arizona. The fact that Denver went 13-3 and reached the AFC Championship Game with him in 2005 says a lot.
Here's some of what Plummer had to say in the article:
"I just know from my experience sometimes Shanahan would ask too much of me. I was pretty good. But I was no Peyton Manning. I had to fight every day. Mike definitely rubbed me the wrong way in some ways. Also, he did some great things in resurrecting my career. Overall, I was grateful to be coached by him. But I was a square peg in a round hole. I didn't fit what he really wanted me to be, and he moved on to somebody else."
"Mike did great things for me in Denver. It's tough to see other guys go through the same situation I went through. Mike will find another job, go do his thing."
"[Griffin is not] himself. He still has to work himself back, get back to that level he played his rookie year. What Shanahan is saying now, it looks like he's saving a little bit of face."
"The knee injury played into this because I have not seen another quarterback this exciting, maybe other than Randall Cunningham."
"It's almost good sometimes to experience some kind of adversity with a year like this that helps you re-focus and work harder. I just wish RG III the best -- keep his head up and just know a lot of people out there are pulling for him. He's got a long career ahead of him."

True holiness takes effort on our part, which many are not willing to give. John Bevere says ministers will either unconsciously or purposefully avoid preaching holiness to avoid losing the appeal of the gospel. He shares how grace produces holiness. read more

Free from Sin
??"For sin shall not have dominion over you, for you are not under law but under grace" (Romans 6:14, NKJV).
Why shouldn't sin have dominion over us? Because we no longer possess a sin nature, but we have entered God's empowerment, possessing the nature of Jesus Himself. We are free from the power of sin! read more
Rule in Life
?Many believe they are merely struggling sinners who've been forgiven—and someday, in heaven, they will be like Jesus. This fallacy keeps people in bondage and nullifies God's power in their lives. The Bible tells us we are His children: "Beloved, now we are children of God" (1 John 3:2, NKJV). If we are now His children, we now have access to fully operate in the character of Jesus. We have the ability to live as He intended us to live from the beginning—extraordinarily! We can live in His image, His likeness, possessing His ability—all through grace! You are a son or daughter of God. You possess His nature. You were meant for anything but ordinary!?? read more
A Life You Were Created For
??Have you often thought, "There must be more"? You're not alone. I believe a fresh revelation of truth will unlock the God-potential within you. You probably know that by God's grace you're forgiven and saved, but do you know that His grace empowers you here and now in this life? read more

God didn't just rescue us; He empowered us so that we can live successfully here in this world.

No, He designed salvation to be complete—triumphant living in this world as well as in the one to come. read more

Probes and tokens are used in many deadlock detection and resolution algorithms. A deadlock is detected by propagating probes along dependency edges. When the initiator pi of a probe receives its probe back, it knows of the existence of a deadlock. pi then sends out a token to clean up those probes in the deadlock; cycle which, if not removed, may later lead to phantom deadlock detections. Only after the token returns to pi is the deadlock resolved by aborting a `victim' (usually pi). As a result, all involved transactions remain waiting and all involved resources locked until the token returns to pi, although the deadlock was already detected when the probe returned to pi. This paper proposes the idea of barriers to allow the deadlock to be resolved without waiting for the token to return to pi, thereby reducing the average deadlock persistence time considerably

Italian military to switch to LibreOffice and ODFSubmitted by Rianne Schestowitz on Wednesday 16th of September 2015 07:37:25 AM Filed under
The Italian military is transitioning to LibreOffice and the Open Document Format (ODF). The Ministry of Defense will over the next year-and-a-half install this suite of office productivity tools on some 150,000 PC workstations - making it Europe's second largest LibreOffice implementation. The switch was announced on 15 September by the LibreItalia Association.
The migration project will begin in October and is foreseen to be completed at the end of 2016.
The deployment of LibreOffice will be jointly managed by the two organisations, announces LibreItalia. The NGO will help the ministry to ready trainers in different parts of the military, and the Ministry is to develop a series of online courses to help with the switch to LibreOffice. The material is to be made public using a Creative Commons licence.
An agreement between the Ministry and LibreItalia was signed on 15 September in Rome, by Ruggiero Di Biase, Rear Admiral and General Manager of the Italian Ministry of Defence Information Systems and Sonia Montegiove, President of Associazione LibreItalia.

LibreOffice 5.0 review - Good stuffSubmitted by Roy Schestowitz on Thursday 3rd of September 2015 11:14:56 AM Filed under
I woke up this morning babe, and the Internet was storming, inside of me. And when I get that feeling I know I need some LibreOffice testing. Yes. What happened was, I opened the browser, like, and I was, like, there's a new, like, LibreOffice, like, and it's a whole-number version. Yay.
In all seriousness, LibreOffice 5.0 got me really excited. Yes, I know, it was an almost arbitrary increment of a minor version to a major one, much like Mozilla did with Firefox a few years back. Still, I totally liked the previous version, and for the first time in many years, it showed real, actual potential of being a viable alternative to payware solutions. Let's see in which direction this latest edition carries the good news and all that hope.
LibreOffice 5.0.1 Open-Source Productivity Suite at a GlanceSubmitted by Rianne Schestowitz on Wednesday 2nd of September 2015 10:01:16 PM Filed under
Ever since the LibreOffice open-source office suite was forked from the Oracle OpenOffice suite in 2010, its community of developers has been working to improve it. The latest evolution of LibreOffice, version 5.0.1, came out Aug. 27 and provides users with new features and improved performance. LibreOffice bundles multiple components as part of the suite, including the Writer Document, Calc Spreadsheet, Impress Presentation, Draw, Math Formula and Base Database applications. Being able to import and export in multiple formats has always been an important element of LibreOffice's interoperability capabilities. In LibreOffice 5.0.1, Writer now has improved Apple Pages document import capabilities. For PDF export, the ability to time-stamp a document is now enabled. Manipulating images is now improved across the suite, with the ability to crop an image with a mouse. The Calc spreadsheet now benefits from improved formula handling as well as new conditional formatting capabilities. LibreOffice is typically available as the default office suite in many Linux distributions and is also freely available for Apple Mac OS X and Microsoft Windows applications. Here, eWEEK takes a look at key features of LibreOffice 5.0.1.
Latest Manjaro Linux 0.8.13 Update Adds KDE Plasma 5.4, LibreOffice 5.0.1, MoreSubmitted by Rianne Schestowitz on Tuesday 1st of September 2015 05:56:30 PM Filed under
The Manjaro development team announced on the last day of August that the eleventh maintenance update for the stable Manjaro Linux 0.8.13 operating system series is now available to users worldwide.
Why you should ditch OpenOffice and use the free LibreOffice suiteSubmitted by Roy Schestowitz on Saturday 29th of August 2015 03:04:01 PM Filed under
OpenOffice was the first big, mainstream free software competitor to Microsoft Office, and because of that, it still has mainstream name recognition—which is a problem.
Developers have almost all moved to LibreOffice, the spiritual successor to OpenOffice. But OpenOffice continues to be operated as its own project, seeing little development and only drawing potential LibreOffice users to a defunct piece of software.
Is Office 365 cheaper than OpenOffice and open source?Submitted by Roy Schestowitz on Friday 28th of August 2015 09:21:01 AM Filed under
Indeed, Microsoft's marketing team published a press release recently saying Office 365 is about 80% cheaper compared to the open source office suite, OpenOffice - with the figures stemming from reports in Italy and the City Council of Pesaro. The Redmond giant claims that to roll out Open Office, Pesaro incurred a one off cost of about €300,000 and had lots of problems with document formatting.
But equally how would you convince a public sector organisation to migrate to your cloud services instead of using 'expensive' open source software?
The obvious way would be to present a case study from a similar organisation together with a well written report commissioned to an "independent" consultancy firm. At this point your future customer has all the data and justifications required to sign on the dotted line.
And some journalists are now presenting this case as fact of Microsoft Office 365 being 80% more economical than open source alternatives.
I would argue that this is an isolated case and the PR efforts by big technology vendors, like many other methods, are being used to trick private and public organisations into signing contracts based on data or claims that may be not completely true.

The annual Great Lakes Invitational, a college tournament that features Michigan State, Michigan and other top college invitees, is among the events being considered for the downtown rink. That tournament is usually held at Joe Louis Arena, the Red Wings' permanent home, in late December.
UM, NHL in advanced discussions for 2013 Winter Classic
2013 Winter Classic has all but been promised to Detroit. Question was Comerica vs the Big House. Seems like Michigan Stadium has the pole position.
Red Wings at Michgan Stadium?
Question re student seating at Michigan Stadium
Accurate pricing on stadium food?
This is not to complain about the price of the food at the stadium (which is freaking crazy), but rather to verify.
At halftime today, I went to the cart directly across from the south end of section 21 and bought two bottles of pop and a box of popcorn. The prices on the sign were $4 each for pop and $5 for popcorn. I handed the girl $13 and started to turn away. She said, "It's 14." I added it up for her, "$8 for pop plus 5 for popcorn is $13." "Popcorn is $6", she said. I told her the sign says $5, which it did, so that's what I would pay. She said okay and I went back to my seat.
The question is, I've NEVER known the listed prices in the stadium to be wrong. They get up there with sticker numbers before games and make changes all the time, and this was just one of the "superpretzel" carts. Between that and the fact that she didn't argue with me but just said "ok", I'm wondering if she and the other kids working the cart were trying to skim? Should I email the Athletic Department?

We assist Canadian charities understand their legal and ethical obligations when operating charities in Canada or abroad and provide insights and information to non-Canadian charities interested in operating or fundraising in Canada.
The charitable sector in Canada has become highly competitive. There are over 86,000 Canadian registered charities. Donors, regulators, media, the public as well as other stakeholders, have increasingly high standards for charities and their operations. GlobalPhilanthropy.ca will assist non-profits and charities in Canada in trying to be transparent, legal, ethical and effective.
In a recent decision Mariano v. The Queen, the Tax Court of Canada (TCC) awarded a very large cost award in favour of CRA (who was the respondent in the matter) and against GLGI, the promoter, and some of its investors. The Court ordered costs of $491,136.95 minus the costs of two expert witnesses which will have to be determined. The TCC also noted with respect to CRA "The Respondent was totally successful in the trials of the above matters involving a charitable donation scheme which spanned over 25 days of hearings including one week of oral argument supplemented by detailed written argument given by both sides." Please note they did not say largely succesful - they said "totally" succesful. It is quite clear that the TCC after many many years is getting impatient with listening to arguments in favour of what the CRA used to call "abusive charity gifting tax schemes".
A recent case, Credit Counselling Services of Atlantic Canada Inc. v. The Queen, 2016 FCA 193, dealt with an annulment of a registered charity. CRA had annulled the registered charity status of Credit Counselling Services of Atlantic Canada Inc. in this Notice of Annulment of Registration in 2013 that we had previously posted on our website. Credit Counselling Services of Atlantic Canada Inc had appealed the decision to CRA but CRA confirmed the Notice of Annulment in April of 2015. Credit Counselling Services of Atlantic Canada appealed to the Federal Court of Appeal and in a decision on June 24, 2016 the Federal Court of Appeal upheld the CRA decision and dismissed the appeal. There are really two issues in the case. First, is the 'prevention of poverty' a recognized charitable purpose as opposed to 'relief of poverty' which is one of the four heads of charity. The Court found that prevention of poverty is not a charitable purpose. Second, annulments are far more unusual than revocation as a result of audit and therefore the case provides some clarity standards for review of annulment. Essentially, annulments being contested will be treated by the FCA in a similar way to a revocation.
Markou v. The Queen, 2016 TCC 137 is a super boring case dealing with the jurisdiction of the Tax Court of Canada and whether such court can make a determination as to whether certain proceeds are part of a Quistclose trust. Beyond whether there are or are not enough legal gymnastics in this decision there is lots of interesting background on a complicated tax scheme from 2001 that probably few have heard of. The leveraged donation scheme known as "The Donation Program for Medical Science and Technology" was implemented by Trinity Capital Corporation from 2001 - 2003. An example of one donor is that he put in $3,520,000 and received a tax receipt for $11 million which would save him about $3.2 million in Federal taxes and $1.9m in Ontario taxes.
Deluca v Canada, 2016 ONSC 3865, is an Ontario Court of Justice claim by Mr. Deluca against the CRA. Mr. Deluca had invested over $100,000 in a tax shelter involving a barter network and 'donations' to a registered charity. When CRA denied his donation claims Mr. Deluca sued the CRA because he argued they owed him a duty and they were slow in revoking the status of a registered charity. The courts quite harshly dismissed Mr. Deluca's claim. I guess you can summarize the case as -all because a business and a registered charity encourages you to get involved in a questionable donation scheme and CRA does not accept the validity of the donation you cannot use CRA as an 'insurance policy' to cover your losses by suing CRA.
The Canada Revenue Agency ('CRA') recently revoked the charitable registration of the ACTLAP Children's Foundation (A.C.F.). CRA revoked the charitable status on the basis that the organization had operated primarily for the non-charitable purpose of furthering a tax shelter donation arrangement, the Pharma Gifts International Inc. program. The charity agreed to accept alleged gifts of property from participants in this scheme and act as a receipting agent. Over $64 million dollars in charitable receipts were improperly issued for donations of cash and pharmaceuticals.
The New York Times in an article by Jodi Kantor and Catrin Einhorn discusses the experiences of Syrian refugees in Canada. It also has some pictures by Pulitzer prize winning photographer Damon Winter. The article is entitled "Refugees Encounter a Foreign Word: Welcome:How Canadian hockey moms, poker buddies and neighbors are adopting Syrians, a family at a time." My family is very fortunate to be helping one of the three families that are featured in the NYT article.

Love it!
| writing.is.a.curse chapter 1 . 5/23/2012
Ah! It was amazing.
I9t's very hard nowadays to find a decent ScorpiousxRose story, most are just disturbing and boring, but yours was amazing, you should consider writing a longer story about it, I'm positive it would be excellent.
| Lady Proemess chapter 1 . 4/24/2012
Three syllables: AH-mazing!
Truly original, and really fresh. Also good writing style and character portrayals that stay in-canon.
| x-rayLady chapter 1 . 9/27/2011
Lol, makes me wonder who won in the end :-)
| EchoDeltaNine chapter 1 . 9/3/2011
Well, I think this was really quite good! Your writing is beautiful, but there are some places where you forgot to capitalize "Rose", and otherwise it was pretty much amazing! I loved that they could be friends :) Very sweet :)
| weirdgiraffe chapter 1 . 5/22/2011
That was awesome. I love how rose can be an angry little arse just like her mum. Extremely amazing and super cute. I love how you uncover more depth to the characters than there is on the surface.

Entertaining fic. Short & sweet. I like Scorpius' perspective on life at Hogwarts as the son of a Death Eater.
| Anna Scathach chapter 1 . 6/14/2010
Aw, cute, nice, lovely, amazing, fantastic, wonderful, marvellous, pretty, beautiful, impressive, brilliant... Whoops, well you got my drift. I would have loved to read some sort of follow-up or epilogue, with all those things you're barely hinting at but never tell. But I guess it's just as welll this way, it makes your readers imagine the ending.
Thnaks for writing this!

Who Has This Tail?
Who Has This Tail?
Henry Holt & Company, Hardcover, 9780805094299, 44pp.
Publication Date: October 16, 2012
Short and fuzzy, long and scaled: no matter their size and shape, tails aren't just hanging around they're useful This fun, informative book invites readers to guess the owner of nine tails, and then turn the page to see the animal and its tail in action.
Erik Brooks is the author and illustrator of many books for children, including the Washington State Book Award winner, "Polar Opposites", and the CBC/IRA Children s Choices Award winner, "The Practically Perfect Pajamas". His most recent illustrated book, "Sea Star Wishes", was selected as the July 2013 Book of the Month by US Children s Poet Laureate, Kenn Nesbitt. From his home in Winthrop, Washington, Erik also writes and draws "Harts Pass", a weekly comic strip for the "Methow Valley News", visits schools and libraries around the country, and plays in the woods like a wolverine! erikbrooks.blogspot.com
"The concise information does a nice job of demonstrating the many different functions a tail can serve–a gerbil uses it for balance, while an Arctic fox uses it to stay warm. The book closes with a summarizing gatefold matching all the animals with their tails" -- School Library Journal
Praise for Who Has These Feet?
"Brooks' watercolor scenes, which ably highlight both adaptation and environment, will perform well for individual readers and small class groups." —The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books
"Brooks's naturalistic yet affable animals will likely inspire readers to take a closer look at their own feet." —Publishers Weekly
"The simple text, the colorful illustrations, and the guessing game combine to make this an engaging picture book for reading aloud." —Booklist
"Young animal fans will find much to enjoy and are sure to ask for multiple readings." —Kirkus Reviews

Next Event:
Wednesday June 15, 2016
Coffee House 345
Dear Friends,
Although you may know me as simply the administrator of New Music Concerts who sends annoying emails (no, I mean interesting and informative newsletters about our concerts), my interests and accomplishments span a broader spectrum as those of you who also know me as the CD review editor of WholeNote magazine may have some inkling. I am writing to say that New Music Concerts has been very good to me over the past decade and a half and this year I have decided it's time to "pay it back." I'm hoping you'll be curious enough to come and find out what this "other side of me" is all about. On Wednesday June 15th I will be hosting "Coffee House 345" and show-casing some of the songs I've written and collected over the past half century (can it really be that long???). I hope you will indulge me as I step into the spotlight and come out for an evening of folky "art song." Of course I'll have a little professional help from my friends too! You'll find details in the preview below (except the time: Doors open at 7:30 with the first set at 8:00). I look forward to seeing you there!
David Olds
General Manager (chief cook and bottle washer)

New Music Concerts has enjoyed a leadership role in Toronto's new music scene throughout its history. Founded in 1971 by internationally acclaimed Canadian musicians Robert Aitken and Norma Beecroft, NMC presented its first concert in January 1972 with guest composer/conductor Luciano Berio. Since that time most of the world's renowned composers including John Adams, Harrison Birtwistle, Pierre Boulez, John Cage, Elliott Carter, George Crumb, Peter Maxwell Davies, Morton Feldman, Philip Glass, Heinz Holliger, Maurizio Kagel, Helmut Lachenmann, Toru Takemitsu, Iannis Xenakis, Walter Zimmermann and, early in their careers, rising stars like Tan Dun, Toshio Hosokawa, Jörg Widmann and Raminta Serksnyte, have come to Toronto at NMC's invitation. Our strong support of Canadian composers through commissions and performances and by combining them with international artists has promoted their success. A short list of some of our most notable Canadian commissions includes Claude Vivier's Zipangu, Barbara Pentland's Eventa, Harry Somer's Chura Churum, John Beckwith's Eureka, Harry Freedman's Strands of Blue, Alexina Louie's Sanctuary, John Weinzweig's Prisoner of Conscience, Bruce Mather's Ausone, Gilles Tremblay's Triojubilus, plus Omar Daniel's Zwei Lieder nach Rilke and Chris Paul Harman's Amerika both of which went on to win the Jules Léger Prize.
Since its inception NMC has presented nearly 400 concerts, commissioned more than 130 Canadian and international works and performed some 700 Canadian and world premieres. As English Canada's senior contemporary music society, NMC's prime activity is producing high calibre concerts of contemporary music, but our activities have included a very broad range of presentation from contemporary classics, to electroacoustics, mixed- and multi-media presentations, sound sculpture, radiophonic works, films and music theatre (including world premiere performances of R. Murray Schafer's Princess of the Stars on Heart Lake in 1981 and the North American premieres of John Cage's Roaratorio at Convocation Hall and Thorkell Sigurbjornsson's Grettir at the Betty Oliphant Theatre). Current programs reflect the ongoing concern to balance all aspects of our mandate to profile established and emerging Canadian and international composers.

iStunt 2 is a 2D physics-based racer in the form of a snowboarding game. You begin each level in a gravitationally-favorable position, with the goal of making it through the obstacles to the finish line. The levels mostly play out like a roller coaster, so you are essentially along for the ride. Tilting and jumping with your snowboarder to react to the environment is your only task. The controls are crisp, which make the game quite fun to play. There are more than 80 levels to complete, with each also having ten gold stars to be collected along the way for several of the game's achievements. The tablet and PC controls are both very suitable. Currently the game is available for $3.99 in the Windows 8 Store.
Step 1: Complete all the levels and get all the stars on first two level packs
Play through the game, starting from the beginning, completing all of the levels. Make sure to collect the 10 stars from each level of the first two level packs to earn those specific achievements. Afterwards, you do not need to worry about stars at all.
Step 2: Mop-up miscellaneous achievements
There are a good bit of miscellaneous achievements in the game. You will get many of them without even trying, but for those that you miss in Step 1, look up their descriptions and find the best strategies and levels to complete them on quickly.
The physics in the game are consistently stellar. Completing the levels is not much of a challenge, but collecting the stars in order to earn Gold ranks takes some practice and memorization of the levels. With the exception of this star collecting, the game is rather easy. The levels are always short and there are ample checkpoints. You should have no problem completing the game in under 8 hours.
COMPLETION ACHIEVEMENTS (8 for 90 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png)
The following 8 achievements are obtained just by completing all levels of the game and are unmissable.
http://www.xbox360achievements.org/i...0/UPro1mk=.jpg Graduation - 5 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png
Complete Tutorials.
This achievement unlocks at the end of the very first level which serves as the game's tutorial.
http://www.xbox360achievements.org/i...0/UP1rNCU=.jpg Grabs Unlocked - 5 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png
Unlock Grabs so you can perform Tail Grab, Nose Grab and Indy!
This achievement unlocks during Level 3 of Insane Hills towards the end when you learn how to perform grabs.

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/i...0/UP9KPZA=.jpg Desert Paradise Completed - 15 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png
Complete "Desert Paradise" Pack.
These achievements will all unlock along the way to completing every level of the four level packs in the game, which are Insane Hills, Stadium Stunts, Extreme Skies, and Desert Paradise. Completing a level only requires that you make it to the finish line. The collection of the gold stars is not required, but it is recommended for two of the game's other achievements. To save time, you should attempt to gain a Gold rank on each level before proceeding (this is for the first two level packs only), unless you get stuck.
See "Superstar" for more information about collecting stars.
GOLD STAR ACHIEVEMENTS (2 for 25 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png)
The following 2 achievements are obtained by collecting 10 stars on all of the levels in two entire level packs.
http://www.xbox360achievements.org/i...0/-ArLOw==.jpg Respected Stuntman - 10 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png
Collect all stars from one world.
See "Superstar."
http://www.xbox360achievements.org/i...0/-y3fNQ==.jpg Superstar - 15 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png
Collect all stars from two worlds.
In each level you can earn Gold, Silver, and Bronze ranks by collecting 10, 8, and 6 golden stars, respectively. To earn these two achievements, you need to earn Gold ranks on each level of two complete level packs. Insane Hills and Stadium Stunts are the easiest so it is suggested you attempt to get all of the stars on these two level packs.
Stars are collected when your snowboarder gets close enough to them (or runs into them). To earn a Gold rank, you need to collect all 10 on a SINGLE playthrough of the level. There is a trick that makes this easier. As soon as you see a star you missed, immediately fall off your board or hit the restart button in the top left corner of the screen (on non-touch screens, the escape key can be used to pause, then hit the restart button). You can do this as many times as you want. This will prevent you from truly having to collect the stars in one go of the level, because you can play each section between checkpoints indefinitely.
Often you will need to explore a little bit to find all 10 of the stars. In some rare cases, there are actually more than 10 stars on a level, so you can miss some.
*GLITCH WARNING* This achievement is known to be glitchy. Sometimes it will unlock before actually having Gold ranks on all levels required. Other times it will not unlock when you have gotten all the stars in two level packs. If your case is the latter, load-up Time Trial Mode and complete a few levels in Insane Hills, collecting as many stars as you can. This should pop that achievement for everyone, but it is not guaranteed.
MISCELLANEOUS ACHIEVEMENTS (10 for 85 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png)
The following 10 achievements are obtained by completing miscellaneous tasks or requirements and can be completed on any level (where possible).
http://www.xbox360achievements.org/i...0/-8s6HQ==.jpg AfterLife - 5 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png
Complete level after falling from the board.
See "TakenGhost."
http://www.xbox360achievements.org/i...0/-eozqA==.jpg TakenGhost - 5 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png
Grab one token after death and then complete the level.
These two achievements will most definitely come without trying sometime throughout the game, but they can both easily be completed simultaneously on the very first level of Insane Hills. Towards the end of the level you will go around a loop and then over a small jump, collecting three gold stars after the jump. After collecting the last of these stars, instead of landing normally, land so that your guy falls forward off the board. This may take several attempts, but if done correctly, he will go tumbling towards the right, collecting the star and then across the finish line, unlocking both of these achievements.
http://www.xbox360achievements.org/i...0/-s0npg==.jpg ShowOff - 5 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png
Perform five different stunts in a single combo.
You need to perform five different stunts in a single combo. Possible stunts include the backflip and front flip, nose grab, tail grab, indy grab, perfect/good landing and rail grind. Any five of these need to be performed in a single combo.
See "Niinja Performer" for a great location to attempt this.
http://www.xbox360achievements.org/i...0/+xDQuA==.jpg Crowd Pleaser - 10 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png
Collect 5,000 points with a single combo.
See "Niinja Performer."
http://www.xbox360achievements.org/i...0/+vAoKw==.jpg Great Performer - 15 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png
Collect 7,000 points with a single combo.
See "Niinja Performer."
http://www.xbox360achievements.org/i...0/+NEhng==.jpg Niinja Performer - 20 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png
Collect 10,000 points with a single combo.
You earn points by performing tricks. The score from consecutive tricks accumulates, as long as the time between them is short enough. Your total combo score consists of a base score and a multiplier, with your total score from the combo being your base score times the multiplier. All tricks contribute to the base score, but only back and front flips contribute to the multiplier, raising it by one for each complete flip. You need to earn a combo score of more than 10,000 points.
The best level to attempt this on is Insane Hills Level 6. Right at the start of the level there are a series of five or six jumps in which you can rack up enough score and spins on to reach 10,000 with no problem. Remember to jump before going off the jumps to give yourself more air time. Constantly being doing spins and grabs. Make sure to complete at least five different tricks to unlock the "Showoff" achievement. The achievements themselves do not unlock until you successfully end your combo by landing and stop doing the tricks.
http://www.xbox360achievements.org/i...0/UPjJ39w=.jpg Mr Potato - 5 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png
Dismember Stuntman.
This achievement requires that you dismember all limbs (both arms and legs, entirely) from your snowboarder. This is done by crashing him into saw blades which are scattered around many of the levels. He will need to slam into the blade (or blades) several times to dismember all of the limbs to pop this achievement. This will most certainly come later in the game without trying as there are many blade obstacles you must overcome.
A great location to earn this achievement comes on Level 13 of Insane Hills, called I Saw You. About half way through the level, you will come to a massive saw blade that you must go around. Just let yourself fall into the blade and you will have no trouble losing all your limbs. See the video below for the technique.
http://www.xbox360achievements.org/i...0/-XPKZw==.jpg Immortal - 5 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png
Complete five levels without falling once.
This achievement can be done by completing the first level five straight times without faulting. This level is very easy and takes no skill at all to beat without falling. As soon as you complete the level, hit "Retry" to play it again. After the fifth time without any falls, the achievement will unlock.
http://www.xbox360achievements.org/i...0/-1LD0g==.jpg Addicted - 10 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png
Play for one hour straight.
This achievement requires that you play in-game for one hour straight. The achievement is a little glitchy in a sense that it needs to be one hour in a single level. Make sure your computer is set not to go to sleep or a screen saver to come up. Then head to Insane Hills Level 16, called A Little Push. Here, you can get the snowboarder stuck right at the beginning by doing nothing. Once stuck, just let your computer run for an hour to unlock the achievement. Thanks to Tricky1976 for this tip!
http://www.xbox360achievements.org/i...0/-rI7QQ==.jpg Falcon - 5 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png
Fly for seven seconds and land with style.
This achievement requires that you stay in the air for at least 7 consecutive seconds AND then make a perfect landing. It will definitely come without trying, but to get it out of the way early you can do it on the very first level of Insane Hills. From the start of the level, you will fall a tiny bit, then enter a tutorial pop-up, before falling a long distance to the ramp below. Let the tutorial stay on screen for several seconds, as it actually counts towards your air time. Then close it and attempt to make a perfect landing when you fall below. This may take several tries to get the "Perfect Landing" to pop up.
4/9/13 - Guide created and nearly complete.
4/12/13 - Tweaked the "Superstar" achievement's description just a tad. Added a location and video to get the "Mr Potato" achievement and an easy location to get the "Addicted" achievement (Thanks to Tricky1976 for the location). Guide complete!
5/12/13 - Fixed some typos. Guide submitted for publication to site.
For the addicted achievement what level do you go to to get your snowboarder stuck?
There are many times throughout your playthrough that you will get stuck. Let me know if you find one that is easy to replicate. Cheers. Will update the last few achievements when I come across them.
Got it on the level A little push on insane hills as soon as the level starts
Your snowboarder just keeps sliding up and down the first slope i used that method for the W8 and the WP versions both worked great.
Dear lord, how do you do 4-19? It makes me cry :(
EDIT: Gah, I got past it finally, but the 2nd checkpoint screwed me over and I couldn't finish.
EDIT 2: This is now the only level I have left to finish. Soooo close to being done with this game.
EDIT 3: OMG, finally. Pure luck. Screw this level.
Win8 PC version is a lot easier to finish the game then Win7 phone version thanks to keyboard controls
Cheers for the immortal tip didnt think to keep replaying the first level :woop:
(i posted this on the WP version forum also)
i didnt get 'Insane Hill Completed' cheev but did get the 'Stadium Stunts Unlocked' cheev even tho it basically requires the same thing... to complete Insane Hills pack, anyone know why this would be? do i need to get gold in all levels?

REVISIONS; Plays Need Reimagining, Not Merely Reviving
By Margo Jefferson
Published: May 16, 2003
Theater depends at least as much on revivals and adaptations as on new work. So do dance, classical music and jazz. Why? Because none of them are now at the center of the culture.
Movies and pop music reign; with mass appeal, you can afford to live in a continuous present.
A continuous present has its own terrors. Tradition nurtures individual talent and signals cultural prestige, to which every popular form aspires at some point: look at film and jazz studies programs or at the debates over what constitutes authentic rock or hip-hop. Hierarchies emerge; critics and chroniclers debate. They all know that canons are what get you into the history books.
Still, living slavishly in the past destroys art as surely as it does people. What threatens mainstream theater is night after night of living-dead predictability. Another season of college course classics, from Ibsen to Pinter, done with ''déjà vu all over again'' fidelity. A Broadway hit from the high-style 1920's or 30's (preferably one that was made into a movie, like ''The Women''), cast with actors who have hit television series.
Haul out an old musical or play: you might get a thrillingly renewed classic with big stars like this year's ''Gypsy'' and ''Long Day's Journey Into Night.'' (Neither will tour.) More often you'll get a handsome, stilted retread like last year's ''Oklahoma!''
Broadway has even renewed its old power struggle with Hollywood. It takes movies -- ''Thoroughly Modern Millie,'' ''Sweet Smell of Success,'' ''Hairspray'' -- and turns them into plays. Then, like generations of studio executives, it rids the adaptation of anything too provocative or eccentric. Faulkner did warn us: ''The past is never dead. It's not even past.'' But he was talking about a past that can hurl bolts of lighting through you. The trouble with theater's past is that it so often feels dead.
Can theater ever regain cultural power and popularity? Certainly not if ticket prices don't go down. Producers can talk all they want about hooking young people on the live experience only theater provides. But how many young people can or will pay so dearly for that experience?
Theater also lacks an alternative means of distribution that is less expensive and more convenient. If you can't get to a pop concert at Madison Square Garden, you can buy the CD. If you want to stay home, you can rent a movie or watch one on cable. Of course, there are the spaces Off and Off Off Broadway, where prices are cheaper and inventiveness often greater. But those shows tend to have runs too short to pay for much advertising or to attract the reviews that bring in audiences.
Nevertheless, we still crave art as live experience, immediate and unpredictable. We want to be part of an audience when something special happens: to jump to our feet, hold our breath, share the laughter or outrage or recognition.
The theater industry desperately needs to support new work: on Broadway and Off, in the regional theaters and alternative spaces: lofts, art centers, schools, parks. It needs to treat its past as a conduit to our present. To revive means to bring someone or something back to life and consciousness. Adaptation is the process by which an organism becomes better suited to its environment.
In New York this truth is grasped most often by Off Broadway companies. They are the ones who keep grappling with Shakespeare. Their classics can be unpredictable and exhilarating, from Sophocles to J. M. Barrie (Mabou Mines's ''Gospel at Colonnus'' and ''Peter and Wendy''); Racine to Gertrude Stein (the Wooster Group's ''To You the Birdie'' and ''Dr. Faustus Lights the Lights'').
I've seen brave new forays into Mark Twain (the Acting Company), E. T. A. Hoffmann (Target Margin Theater), Tennessee Williams and Harriet Beecher Stowe (the Drama Dept.).
The Brooklyn Academy of Music has led the way with new work that integrates theater, music, dance, art and technology. But smaller organizations are doing their part with gusto and great skill. Last fall the excellent early-music group Artek turned a group of Monteverdi madrigals into an enchanting theater piece. And the Eos Orchestra took hold of Wagner's ''Meistersinger'' and stripped it down to a taut, muscular music drama.
Recently I have seen two exciting productions. One began at St. Ann's Warehouse in Brooklyn and moved to Broadway. The other, which began at the Harlem School of the Arts and moved to the 13th Street Theater, is planning to reopen soon in another Off Broadway house. They make me think that the best revivals share certain characteristics.
They are based on challenging work that is not regularly staged. The cast works as an ensemble even if there are stars in leading roles. The staging points up the text rather than competes with it. And the relationship between its time and ours is dramatized but not exploited.
Oscar Wilde chose an accessible legend when he wrote ''Salome.'' We all know the basic story of how this ravishing girl took revenge on King Herod, her lust-driven stepfather, and on John the Baptist, the imprisoned prophet who rebuffed her advances.

Since the last report Better Family Foundation (BFF) has kept on following up the children we are sponsoring in schools. In doing this, Better Family Foundation staff have been visiting the children in their homes in order to assess their living conditions and how far their homes are learner friendly.
During these visits, BFF staff had one on one meetings with parents/guardians as well as with the children concerned. Through these meetings we addressed the children's worries and helped to educate the parents/guardians on how to help their children study effectively.
In addition to the payment of fee that was done for the children earlier, we equally gave on the spot assistance to some of these childrenn in order to ameriolate their home situation thereby motivating them to learn.
BFF continues to apppreciate all those who have been supporting this program in order to help our communities kick off illiteracy.
Better Family Foundation has a deep interest in the monitoring and evluation of all the children sponsor in our child sponsor program. In this respect, our staff have been visiting school authorities and families of the children concern to find out the performances of these children.
After the last school term examination results, we invited all the children under our sponsorship program to attend a meeting in which we evaluated their performances, found out their difficulties and suggested solutions to help these children overcome the difficulties.
The parents and guardians of these children were excluded from this meeting in order to create a free atmosphere for the childrern to express their feelings. In all, 48 children out of 65 attended the meeting. It was realized that the performances of the children have improved in spite of the challenges some of them are facing at home.
We continue to appreciate all the donors who have being contributing to make this program a succes. In deed your donation has brought a smile on the face of a child here.
Better Family Foundation had been very busy updating the files of all the students and pupils who are benefitting from our scheme as well as screenng new cases for assistance since the last report.
Initially, for 2015/2016 academic year, we intended to sponsor 50 children in primary and secondary schools in Cameroon but our donors have acted so positively that we are able to sponsored 60 children instead (40 from secondary and 20 from the primary schools). On the average each child in the secondary school received $60 making a total of $2400 and in the primary school each child received $40 making a total of $800 and $500 had been set aside for home visits, school visits and feed back forums.
During last October, the tuition fee were paid out to the school authorities in the present of children and their parents or guardians. See picture of those in attendance on that day.
Better Family Foundation wish to thank all the donors for making this dream come true in a great way. We also wish to extend the appreciation of both the parents and the children to all the donors. Again we say thank you.
Better Family Foundation (BFF), has since the last report been mobilising resources and selecting children for the next academic year 2015/2016 school year. To realize our objective, the BFF authority has asked school authorities and other community members to identify children from humble backgrounds and propose them for further screening and possible assistance.
Atfer this preliminary selection has been done BFF, authority has worked on the proposed lists. (See pictures during our selection process). We are presently making preparation to carry out home visits to assess the level of parents' commitment, family socio-economic situation and then do ranking in order to assist the most needy.
BFF wishes to thank all those who are supporting this program because a child is smiling somewhere here in Cameroon because of your donation. Be sure that we are making sure that your money is put into effective use.
Better Family Foundation in an effort to assess the impact of the project on the lives of the benefaciary children and their families, organized an evaluation meeting bringing together all the children and their parents or guardians involved in the project.
During the meeting all the children's report cards were critically examined one by one. The children were asked to explain their strengths and weaknesses. Parents or guardians were equally asked to explain how the project has affected the lives of their children as well as that of their entire families.
Better Family Foundation staff sought to know the role of the parents/guardians in making the children to study effectively. Each of the parents/guardian stated the role he or she played in the education of his or her child. They equally pointed out some of weaknesses of the project and made possible recommendations for improvement.
The following outcomes were realised at the end of the meeting:
Only one pupil failed during the second term examination and the rest had excellent results.
Parents/guardians were happy that the project has improved on their economic status.
Parent also pleaded on BFF authorities to organize such evaluation meetings frequently.
They thanked all the donors towards this project through BFF.

Rapport between the teacher and students is important, but equally important is rapport between students. In a classroom with students from many cultures, this can often be a difficult feat.
Many students have never traveled outside of their country or have never interacted with other cultures before. In order for a classroom to be a safe place for students to practice learning, they need to feel comfortable with each other. Below are some helpful hints for making your classroom as conducive as possible to learning.
How to Build an Effective Classroom Environment in a Multilingual Classroom
A strong community classroom environment needs to be established in order for maximum learning to take place.
