After the latest round of Premier League action, we bring you our pick of the best players on display in the English top flight.
And to give you a flavour of how their performances were viewed across the land, we have also included tweets from journalists and punters alike.
GK: Tim Howard, for Everton against Arsenal (8/10)
Everton were in complete control against Arsenal but that didn't mean Tim Howard did not have a few top saves to make. The American ensured there would be no nervous moments for the Toffees.
Key moment (83'): Howard with a stunning finger tip stop to divert a brilliant effort by Oxlade-Chamberlain shot onto his bar. That ball was travelling at some pace from 25 yards.
And not for the first time this season Tim Howard produces a potentially game changing save. Super stop.
— David Prentice (@prenno) April 6, 2014
RB: Seamus Coleman, for Everton against Arsenal (7/10)
A couple of showboating moments from Coleman summed up another confident display. The Irishman looks to be a certainty for the right-back spot in any team of the year vote.
Key moment (85'): Powerful drive by Oxlade-Chamberlain is blocked by Coleman. Everton determined to get this clean sheet it seems.
VIDEO: Seamus Coleman unreal tekkers!: - Kick-ups on the run - http://t.co/p7rR1oWi1Z - Humiliating Santi Cazorla - http://t.co/GvPz5TCvAM — BBC Sporf (@BBCSporf) April 6, 2014
CB: Mamadou Sakho, for Liverpool against West Ham (8/10)
Had to step in at short notice for the injured Daniel Agger but might be hard to dislodge after this display. His physical presence helped deal with the threat of Andy Carroll
Key moment (85'): West Ham's attacking threat seems to have fizzled out and that's a credit to Sakho and Skrtel.
Sakho was great today, even more impressive as he haven't played for 3 months. Same with Lucas, great impact.
— RobinLFC (@Robish13) April 6, 2014
CB: Winston Reid, for West Ham against Liverpool (8/10)
West Ham may have lost but few teams have kept Suarez and Sturridge as quiet this season. The performance of the Kiwi centre-back was a big reason for that.
Key moment (50'): Gerrard with some lovely passing this afternoon. Reid with another timely clearance. He is having a fine afternoon for the home side.
Neil Mellor on Radio City 96.7: "Winston Reid is playing really well. He's stopped any ball into Suarez ans Sturridge." — RadioCity News/Sport (@RadioCityNews) April 6, 2014
LB: Leighton Baines, for Everton against Arsenal (7/10)
Bombed down the left with ease for the Toffees as Santi Cazorla failed to track his runs. His pass to Lukaku that eventually led to the opener was a thing of beauty.
Key moment (14'): Goal! Naismith slides the ball into the net after Szczesny had made a fine stop from Lukaku. Brilliant pass by Baines to get the move going. Everton lead 1-0.
Leighton Baines created 4 chances in the first half - more than any other player #EFC #Everton
— EPL Stat Man (@EPLStatman) April 6, 2014
CM: Steven Gerrard, for Liverpool against West Ham (8/10)
A real captain's performance from Gerrard. Two fine penalties, but his passing was something to behold as he drove his side towards another vital three points in their quest for the title. Avoided a booking so will be ripe for battle against City next week too.
Key moment (44'): Penalty to Liverpool! Tomkins handles the ball after Suarez tried to go past him. Clear-cut penalty to the visitors. Brilliant pass from Gerrard to pick out Suarez.
As much as I'm an Evertonian, I'd be delighted if Liverpool won the league. Gerrard deserves a title. — Joseph Barton (@Joey7Barton) April 6, 2014
CM: Willian, for Chelsea against Stoke City (8/10)
Superb performance and goal from the attacking midfielder. Outstanding stuff as he ran the show from the centre of the park.
Key moment (72'): Willian smacks the ball into the net from just outside the Stoke box. Brilliant finish, and Chelsea lead 3-0.
What a goal @willianborges88 and also the "Man of the Match"! I'm so proud of you, congratulations my friend! pic.twitter.com/VROQE65uEB
— David Luiz (@DavidLuiz_4) April 6, 2014
AMR: Jason Puncheon, for Crystal Palace against Cardiff City (8/10)
If Roy Hodgson wants to look at men in form for his World Cup squad, it would not be a bad idea to study Puncheon's capabilities. Carries pace and a menace from various points on the park as Cardiff will testify. An attacking midfielder, who looked more like a forward.
Key moment (88'): Goal! Puncheon slams the ball high into the net from 25 yards. Superb swerving finish high above Marshall. 3-0 and this match well and truly over. Cardiff an utter shambles at the back.
Jason Puncheon vs Cardiff: 6 attempts, 6 on target and 2 goals scored. Not bad! pic.twitter.com/XLCAWg6Sja — The Football Front (@ReviewFootball) April 5, 2014
AMC: Juan Mata, for Manchester United against Newcastle United (8/10)
Few players would have the ability to score a free kick so close to the box. To get the ball over the wall and then under the bar requires impressive technique, and in a fairly muted game that deserves recognition. His second required the kind of calm that has escaped most of his team-mates this year. Dos gols por favor.
Key moment (39'): Fletcher is fouled by Gosling as he looked to burst into the box. Mata takes a short run up to curl a free kick from just outside the box, and sends the ball into the top corner. Wonderful free-kick.
Some superb goals in the Premier League this weekend, but I think Juan Mata's second against Newcastle was my favourite. Wonderful feint.
— Tom Williams (@tomwfootball) April 6, 2014
AML: Samir Nasri, for Manchester City against Southampton (8/1o)
The Frenchman was in fine form once again, orchestrating most of City's positive play. Although his goal was undoubtedly offside, it was taken well and capped off a neat City move.
Key moment (45+1'): City retake the lead. A really, really intricate passing move ends with Nasri sliding the ball past Gazzaniga from six yards. There's a big shout for offside as Silva receives the ball in the box, but you can't take anything away from the quality of the move. It was worked beautifully and finished expertly. 2-1.
Nasri's been getting some big goals this season. — Miguel Delaney (@MiguelDelaney) April 5, 2014
FW: Steven Naismith for Everton against Arsenal (8/10)
The Scotland player has emerged as a figure of real quality. Surprisingly played in a central role with Lukaku pushed out wide and Arsenal didn't know how to handle him as he proved to be a constant nuisance to Wenger's side.
Key moment (14'): Goal! Naismith slides the ball into the net after Szczesny had made a fine stop from Lukaku. Brilliant pass by Baines to get the move going. Everton lead 1-0.
Pretty effective tactics from Martinez so far, with Naismith a deep-lying forward, Mirallas and Lukaku attacking in behind the FBs from wide

With multiple players on the course at any time, players with no numbers or uniforms, several balls in play at the same time and courses stretching thousands of yards, CBS Sports executive producer Harold Bryant believes golf is the hardest sport to cover on television.
"You're basically covering 18 stages," said Bryant, also the senior vice president for production.
CBS Sports and Turner Sports both have sizeable crews and compounds at Valhalla Golf Club this week for the PGA Championship. They will be broadcasting different programs through their networks and various digital platforms from today through Sunday's final round.
"We come in and we build a city in order to create coverage for the fans," said Craig Barry, senior vice president of production for Turner Sports.
Turner also manages PGA.com through a partnership with the PGA, and Barry said the digital production is just as big for Turner as the television broadcasts.
He said the digital products also provide a different viewing experience.
Gary Treater, a Turner Sports executive overseeing digital operations, said so much of the action in golf never makes it onto television. The web allows fans to go to the site, and look at shots by different players at different holes, or to watch coverage from work.
One is the Marquee Groups, which follows a select groups of golfers through the entire 18 holes course on the PGA.com site instead of the TV model of jumping to action throughout the course.
Marquee groups on Thursday and Friday will include the pairing of Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson and Padraig Harrington (8:35 a.m. Thursday and 1:45 p.m. Friday), and Rory McIlroy, Bubba Watson, and Martin Kaymer (1:45 p.m. Thursday and at 8:35 a.m. Friday.)
"What is neat is you get to see the whole story of that group unfold," Treater said. "We don't have that luxury on TV."
Also, between 8:30 a.m. and 1 p.m. on Thursday and Friday, the only live coverage of the championship is on the web.

400 Approximate personnel CBS Sports has working on the PGA Championship from caterers and runners to those working on digital products to executives and broadcasters.

18 Hours Turner Sports will broadcast exclusively (from 1 p.m. to 7 p.m. on Thursday and Friday, and 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday). Turner also manages PGA.com, which will provide more than 75 hours of original video content.
175 Approximate number people working for TV and digital products for Turner, including PGA.com.

Accuracy of treatment planning calculations for conformal radiotherapy (in English)29(2002); http://dx.doi.org/10.1118/1.1525011View Description Hide Description
This thesis presents methods to define and improve the accuracy of treatment planningdose and volume calculations for conformal radiotherapy, especially in regions with the highest expected benefits—the edges and shielded parts of the beams. The context of this thesis is a verification program of a treatment planning system. It is shown that an appropriately designed "combinatorial verification" makes such a program feasible. Results of this thesis apply to megavoltage photon beams in homogeneous and heterogeneous geometries, to proton beams, and to dose–volume representations. A "field accuracy" concept is shown to facilitate simultaneous checks of dose and distance criteria. This concept is applied to pencil beam calculations in partially blocked photon beams. In a lungtumor phantom large dose discrepancies were found between photon pencil beam calculations and film measurements. This is due to improper scatter handling, as is shown by comparison to results of a point spread kernel algorithm. Methods have been developed for high-resolution measurements of photon beam edges with ionization chambers, thus in particular suited for a program of routine verification measurements. Improvements in accuracy of up to 2 mm in the penumbra have been achieved. Dose distributions and penumbras in small proton beams have been investigated with Monte Carlo calculations and a 2D scintillating screen detector. Accuracy of grid-based volume sampling has been studied, yielding the required grid sizes for specific uncertainties in the volume representation of dose–volume histograms. Finally, bringing the concepts of combinatorial verification and field accuracy together, the feasibility of a comprehensive presentation of calculation accuracy in a conformal prostate treatment plan has been demonstrated.
Development of a three-dimensional radiation dosimetry system29(2002); http://dx.doi.org/10.1118/1.1510515View Description Hide Description
A radiochromic gel dosemeter in which ionizing radiation causes a color change in the visible wavelength region was produced. The roles of the dosemeter's active components were quantified with special consideration given to their effect on the system sensitivity and stability. Optimal composition was found to be 0.5 mM ferrous sulfate, 0.1 mM xylenol orange, and 25 mM sulfuric acid. The dose response is linear in the range 0.1–30 Gy and the dosemeter sensitivity was where A is the optical absorbance measured at a wavelength of 585 nm. An optical tomographyscanner with parallel light beam and charged coupled device detector was designed, built, and used to interrogate cylindrical samples of the dosemeter. The current version of the scanner can cope with samples up to 10 cm in diameter limited by the width of the light beam. A maximum of 512×512 pixels per slice images are obtainable with this scanner. Slice thickness as small as 0.14 mm was achieved that is much narrower than the value of about 6 mm achieved when using the MRI method of three-dimensional (3D) readout. The time to acquire a stack of 100 cross-sectional images with a resolution of 128×128 pixels per slice is about 20 min. The 3D imaging performance was tested with collimated x-ray beams, and the scanner high-resolution presentation demonstrated.
The acoustics of coughing29(2002); http://dx.doi.org/10.1118/1.1525012View Description Hide Description
Coughing is a reflex-generated perturbation of the respiratory function and an important clinical symptom in many respiratory diseases. The information contained in the cough-sound is limited due to the lack of an understanding of the origin of the cough sound. This thesis focuses on (1) automated interpretation, (2) quantification, and (3) sound-production. "In vivo" coughing was registered from individual animal (domestic pig Sus Scrofa) and human subjects in normal and pathological respiratory health conditions. The cough-sound is mathematically presented in the frequency domain. Clustering of the mean spectral features results in automated subject-independent cough-sound-recognition. In addition normal and pathological cough-sounds are distinct for both species. Therefore the simple and noninvasive nature of acquiring information using free field cough-sound-registration makes soundanalysis attractive for on-line follow-up and clinical diagnosis. The vibratory activity of the vocal folds is known to be an important issue in sound production. A three-phase pattern is shown to be a generic cough-feature. A global fundamental frequency was determined. Modeling the acoustic cough waveform aims to parametrize the cough-sound-signal for analysis and physical interpretation. Cough formant frequencies are estimated from the model parameters. A first physical interpretation in terms of a concatenate tube model of the vocal tract is presented. All investigated issues, either parametric or nonparametric, show evidence that the cough-sound character is related to the state of both the supra- and subglottal respiratory system. This finding physically and objectively motivates the statement the "cough-sound is a lung-sound."

Enjoy these daily freebies and please feel free to discuss them and any other creepy and terrifying ebooks. Post yours here free or not free. Share with all the most frightening stories you've ever read that gave you nightmares and made your hair stand on end! AND Who are your favorite horror, ghost, occult, paranormal, and creepiest writers? Please stay on topic. Much appreciated.
I'll do my best to daily post the scariest ebooks here for you!
My favorite creepiest writers are: Robert E. Howard, H.P. Lovecraft, T.M. Simmons, James Everington, Edgar Allen Poe, Peter Drake, Hazel Heald, Arthur Machen, Clark Ashton Smith, Robert Bloch, Ray Bradbury, Stephen King, Joe Lansdale, Edwin Becker, and up and coming Marilyn Thompson.
Bad ValentinesLove is one of those words that people like to throw around - but sometimes love can be one of the meanest and nastiest games in town.
Ghost Hunting Diary Volume I (Ghost Hunting Diaries)This collection of ghost hunting diaries is a selection from those T. M. Simmons kept during her twenty years of adventures in the paranormal world. As a writer, she felt compelled to keep records of her encounters, and until now, she has only shared these with a few friends and relatives. Encouraged by their interest, and the awe and sometimes apprehension on their faces, she is editing some of the dozens upon dozens of diaries in her files. Volume I contains Down the Ghost Trail, which chronicles the start of T. M. Simmons' ghost hunting career at the haunted Myrtles Plantation in St. Francisville, Louisiana. Crossing Over explains how she learned to help lost souls cross into The Light. In Midnight Ferry, a late-night phone call sends her into a confrontation with a nasty ghost-witch who meant horrific harm. The other three stories are ones she chose as some of her favorites. She has also included a few definitions of her beliefs and the rules by which anyone whom she allows into her ghost hunting life must abide. These stories are true, and each new volume will be offered as a prelude to the upcoming fictional Dead Man mystery series. Dead Man Talking, which should be available as an ebook within a few days of this first volume, will be a fun, scary romp in the paranormal world. Part of the first chapter is included at the end.
These Old Tales Volume Two (A Collection of Short Stories, Poetry, and Flash Fiction)These Old Tales is a compilation of short stories, poetry, and flash fiction. Both the stories and the poetry are dark, but here is a brief synopsis of the six longer pieces within the compilation.
"The Patrol" visits the loneliness of war in-between the times when the fighting is taking place. It searches the dark recesses of the human mind for the horrid truths about war. It is within these folds the story takes a unique paranormal twist.
"The Daily News" is what one might call a moth man story. Lonely roads, deserted towns, and strange out-of-place newsstands are but the makings for a quick little story.
"Determination" takes place in another time, in a society unlike what we call normal. These people have found a way to make their utopian society function, and they will go to no end to preserve that perfection.
"After the Ocolitz" follows the tale of young Lindsay, and her quest to see the white foxes that visit their garage. She has many questions, and her mother's hesitant voice only piques her curiosity.
"Working From Home" finds a young man, curious as to what his father does for a living. The more he pries, the more the door opens, until there is no going back.
"Branded" focuses on a gunfight, and the reader is thrown into the battle and the struggle to discern what crimes have led to this end. Can Jake unravel this mess before time is up?
Trouser's EdgeFor Emery Trouser life was safe and mundane, contented and nondescript.
Or so he thought.
And then a portal to Hell opened in his kitchen.
He hadn't expected that.
So imagine his surprise upon discovering he was also a hunted pawn in a much bigger game and that the very fate of Hell lay partly in his hands.
Ghost Box: Six Supernatural Thrillers"Like Stephen King, he knows how to summon serious scares."-- Bentley Little, His Father's Son
Better leave the lights on for weeks! A box set of six supernatural thrillers from bestselling author Scott Nicholson, featuring more than 400,000 words of fiction. DRM-free.
THE RED CHURCH (Stoker Award finalist, alternate selection of the Mystery Guild Book Club): A boy and a sheriff must solve the mystery of a haunted Appalachian church when a strange preacher returns to town.
DRUMMER BOY: One misfit kid is all that stands between a small Appalachian town and a ghostly Civil War troop.
BURIAL TO FOLLOW: Roby Snow must help Jacob Ridgehorn find his eternal rest--or else.
CREATIVE SPIRIT: Artists at a remote Appalachian retreat discover their work is reviving a sinister spirit.
THE DEAD LOVE LONGER: Private investigator Richard Steele must solve his most difficult case ever--his own murder--while torn between women on opposite sides of the grave.
SPEED DATING WITH THE DEAD: A paranormal conference in the Appalachian Mountain's most haunted hotel goes haywire when ghost hunters accidentally stir up demons.
I'm always on the lookout for new and upcoming horror writers and even though it's not free it's worth every penny - My favorite thus far is by
James Everington The Other Room
Enjoy the nightmares!

The First Lady of Hip Hop
There was no way to anticipate that the reliably malfunction-free Beyoncé arriving in New Orleans for her turn at immortality would be a vulnerable one. At the presidential inauguration ceremony last month, she sang the national anthem over a prerecorded vocal track, leading to a minor scandal, putting her on the defensive. Beyoncé, bionic, isn't used to having her reputation impugned. Vulnerability is not her bag. She is, though, up to the challenge — in this case, the conundrum of how to make her Super Bowl XLVII halftime show, which she had been planning for months, not only a spectacle in its own right, but also a conclusion to the messy affair. [more inside]
I'll take the over on the national anthem.

The past couple of weeks I have been trying out some tracing apps. Some of my young clients on the autism spectrum struggle with motor skills and lack confidence in their drawing ability. Although some children will happily scribble with crayons or paint and not worry about the resulting product, others have responded to even simple coloring activities by refusing to try, quickly giving up, or stating over and over that it's "too hard." However, their interest in using the iPad has proved to be a big motivator and they have been happy to try "drawing" on the iPad with tracing apps. For some children, this activity can be paired with a related social story, such as one about trying new things or not giving up when something seems hard.
Tracing apps allow for children to follow outlines and then color in the shapes to create specific pictures, much like a coloring book. I will admit that tracing apps not do much to encourage creativity in children, and this approach is more of "art in therapy" than true "art therapy," but it can have other benefits, such as:
- Motor skills development - Holding the stylus and following the pattern builds fine motor skills
- Self-esteem - For some children, this may provide a new or rare experience of feeling successful with drawing and art making.
- Trying a new activity and overcoming resistance to drawing, allowing for transition to other art activities in the future.
Draw Bug
Provides step by step patterns to trace with a cute bug animation. Starts with drawings from a single shape (e.g., a circle becomes a beach ball) and builds to create increasingly complicated drawings. Provides a five-star "rating" of how closely the child followed the tracing lines, which can be motivating for some children and frustrating for others. You can choose to color in the drawing, but colors are predetermined. The program will not record marks that deviate very far from the pattern. You cannot erase without deleting the while drawing.
|Drawing created on Draw Bug
Create cartoon animals and plants by tracing step by step patterns. The child can choose from a small color palette to color in their drawing as they wish and can customize their pictures by adding to the pattern. You can also change the line width and erase in this app.
|Drawing created on Cartoon Trace
This app is designed more for professional use, but could be easily customized to use with children. You can buy templates to trace over, such as figures, or import from your photo stream. Importing from the photo stream means you could snap a picture of anything for a child to trace. However, you can only draw with black or red, so you don't end up with a very colorful image.
In my next post I'll share about some other drawing apps that allow for more creativity. Do you use drawing or tracing apps with kids in counseling or art? What benefits or drawbacks you have experienced?

Fixed the looping and the jacket symbol has been broken up. I hope you enjoy this as much as I enjoyed animating it. BTW, I'm in love with Flash. XD
All animation done by me in Adobe Flash CS6
It's awesome to see him in motion! Great job animating this babe!
Is Flash still being used a lot? I really like this piece! Have you done more work with this character since last Oct?
Yeah, a lot of animators still rely on Flash because it's the best animation program out there. I know for sure, I'll probably be using it for years to come. Thank you! I'm glad you like it! Yeah, I actually finished a turnaround and a few illustrations with him and I'm about to finish a model sheet and a 3D model of him.
It's actually not hard, all you have to do is pose the character first. So if you're animating a walk and you are in the stride pose, pose it accordingly, then using the move tool, select the entire puppet rig and move it to the right or left or up and down if you're animating a jump. Viola! Animation.
It's the simple things, like finding that move tool, that slows the learning process down, when I want to figure things out myself. xD ~ I better try tutorials too.
Thanks for the information and help!
Yeah, Flash can be confusing at first. It didn't sink in until six months after I took the class for me.
No problem!
le animación de epico :3
Ah yes! Now it looks much better! And it looks really good!
I used Photoshop CS5 to animate but I'll have to try this one out sometime later on. Very good looking animation too. I'm thinking he's either a dingo or a kangaroo as for critique I think you could straighten out your lines a bit more and the legs should look the same width because one looks thicker than the other.
Photoshop is okay for animation but I wouldn't recommend it. Flash is much better and has finer control than Photoshop. Thank you! He's actually a wallaby but you were close with kangaroo.
The lines are rough because it was my first rig and I hand drew the symbols in Flash rather quickly so they are a bit noticeable but this was just for practice, really. They actually are the same width, they just don't appear that way because one is hidden behind the body symbol and the one closest to the viewer is slightly bigger to give off a bit of foreshortening. Again, it was really just for practice and when I make a serious rig, it will be much more refined than this.

This year's Venice Film Festival had, as always, a very strong lineup, but the selection that's risen above the rest to win the Golden Lion was Faust, the latest work from Russian Ark director Aleksandr Sokurov. Other notable wins include Michael Fassbender obtaining the Coppa Volpi for Shame, as well as Yorgos Lanthimos being honored with an Osella (Best Screenplay) statue for Alps. Shame also took home the Fipresci Award for Best Film.
Jury head Darren Aronofsky said that the slate was "exhilarating and maddening," as there were "so many worthy films and so few prizes to give." You can see his point when you look at everything they had to choose from. When your "losers" include Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy, Wuthering Heights, Carnage, and the aforementioned Alps and Shame, you've got your work cut out for you. And knowing that Faust beat out all of those »

Politics County Budget Cuts Are Going to Hurt
posted by November 11 at 17:02 PMon
Sixty-three people lined up in the hallway outside King County Council chambers yesterday to plead with the council to restore funding for their programs. There wasn't a bad cause among them—from advocates for the 146-year-old King County Fair to farmers whose success depends on the county-funded Puget Sound Fresh program to survivors of domestic violence who would be homeless if not for county-funded women's shelter programs, everyone who spoke made a good case that their program shouldn't be among those cut. Although many of the most undeniably essential programs have been placed in a metaphorical "lifeboat," their continued existence depends on the benevolence of the state legislature, from which the county is seeking new taxing authority. And with the legislature facing a $3.2 billion state budget shortfall of its own, King County may not be at the top of its priority list.
A lot more programs are proposed for cuts than the ones I wrote about here. Here are several that people spoke out for at yesterday's public hearing—the last public hearing the council will hold before approving the proposed King County budget.
The King County Agricultural Program. The county's agricultural program works to preserve farmland and protect farms from development pressure in rural King County. One of its best-known programs is Puget Sound Fresh, which supports local farmers, promotes community-supported agriculture, and supports farmers markets around the region. Wade Bennett, owner of Rockridge Orchards in Enumclaw, told the council that the agricultural program had helped transform local farms from "an endangered species.. to merely a threatened species," helping 4,000 King County farmers feed 100,000 people a year. The agricultural program, which costs $120,000 a year, could be eliminated.
The King County Crisis Clinic. The Crisis Clinic runs a suicide prevention program, helps people who are caregivers to the sick and disabled, directs people to emergency shelters, and helps people navigate the social justice system. Last year, Committee to End Homelessness Program Director Bill Block told the council, the clinic took 50 percent more calls seeking rental assistance and 21 percent more calls seeking help with heating and lighting bills. Services like the Crisis Clinic "keep our residents' lives intact," Block said.
New Futures. New Futures operates on-site in low-income apartment complexes in South King County, where the county's poverty and school failure rates are highest. They run after-school programs, mentor teens, provide community development services, and help kids and adults learn English. According to New Futures director Karma Kreizenbeck, who implored the council to preserve the program's county funding, 92 percent of the agency's clients are recent immigrants.
Northwest Immigrant Rights Project. Sims's proposed budget would completely eliminate funding for the NWIRP's domestic-violence investigation unit, which investigates immigrants' allegations of domestic violence; according to an NWIRP representative who spoke at this week's meeting, the group currently has 82 people on its waiting list.
Eastside Domestic Violence. This program, which serves north and east King County, provides crisis counseling, shelter, transitional housing, and support groups for victims of domestic violence, as well as community education and training. Several former domestic violence victims told the council that without ESDV, they would have been on the streets. "I felt trapped and didnt know who to turn to or where to go since I had kept my situation a secret from my family and friends," said one young woman who had been a victim of domestic violence for five years. "Eastside Domestic Violence was a way out
Please do not take this way out away from women like me."
That's actually only the tiniest sampling of the worthy programs that are facing cuts. County residents can also say farewell to treatment, pre-release education and training for inmates to keep them from committing crimes again; the downtown emergency winter shelter; health care and assistance for poor women and children with HIV and AIDS; several county-run family planning clinics that provide birth control and routine PAP smears to poor women; rodent control; case management for people with tuberculosis; services for drug-addicted pregnant women and families; a program that monitors infectious diseases, like hanta virus and avian flu, spread by animals; and school-based dental care programs for children, among many other vital programs.) I've tried to come up with a bright side to all these cuts, and I can't. It's wholesale slaughter at King County. All I can say is, I'm glad I don't have their job.

The BSA Foundation wants its annual Lyceum to appeal to a wide audience.
For this year's speaker, the foundation found someone who could attract those interested in politics and fans of "Die Hard."
The Lyceum speaker will be Fred Thompson, who served as a U.S. Republican senator from Tennessee between 1994 and 2002.
He was appointed the minority counsel to the Senate Watergate Committee in 1973, appeared in 18 motion pictures, including "The Hunt for Red October" and "Die Hard II," and is a regular on the television series "Law & Order."
"He's had a pretty broad career on his way," said Diann McNew, BSA Foundation senior associate. "This will appeal to everyone."
McNew said she chose Thompson after watching a tape of him giving his speech. Called "A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to a Country Law Practice," she said it was funny but also would include information of relevance.
"I think that this particular presentation will be especially fun because it will be about a month before the election," said Mary Barlow, director of corporate communications at BSA. "I think Fred Thompson will have an insight into politics and the election that we don't normally get to hear."
Thompson will be following some big names from past Lyceums, including Colin Powell, Elizabeth Dole and Terry Bradshaw, but Barlow said that's why audiences keep coming.
"We've had this for many years," she said. "The quality of the speakers that we've had in the past, they've been the type of speakers we don't often get in Amarillo. I think those who have come in the past have enjoyed the variety of speakers and what they had to say."
The Lyceums generally draw 400 to 500 people, and the proceeds from tickets benefit Baptist St. Anthony's Health System, McNew said.
This year, the proceeds will go to the BSA Foundation's capital campaign for the Ware Patient Tower, which will include private rooms, an expanded pediatric unit and an outpatient center.
Tickets for the event, which will be at 7:30 p.m. Oct. 12 in the Amarillo Civic Center Grand Plaza Room, cost $150 or $250 depending on the seats.
Sponsor tables for eight can be reserved for $1,200 for Bronze Sponsors or $2,000 for Silver Benefactors.
Golden Apple Catering will prepare the dinner.
Tickets can be purchased by calling McNew at 212-7645. She also will be mailing invitations to the event this summer, and tickets can be reserved by returning the reservation cards attached to them.

(RNS) When is a candy cane not just a candy cane?
For some people, its red and white stripes might signify the sacrifice and purity of Jesus, or maybe just a 19th-century candy-maker's twist intended to dazzle his grandchildren. Both stories are alive and well on the Internet.
c. 2011 Religion News Service
VATICAN CITY (RNS) Pope Benedict XVI confirmed on Monday (Dec. 12) that he will travel to Cuba and Mexico next year.
Thanks to Denver Broncos quarterback Tim Tebow, sports and religion
have become the topic du jour. Arguments over Tebow's path to the Hall
of Fame can be waged, but it's clear that his name is a rarity: the
proper noun (Tebow) can be used as a verb (Tebowing—or getting down on
one knee to pray).
December 12 (ENInews)--As international observers say that general elections in the Democratic Republic of Congo were flawed, churches also have been highly critical of the process that re-elected President Joseph Kabila, but are appealing for peace among a restless electorate.
After a week of mounting protest over alleged fraud in Russia's
parliamentary election, the Russian Orthodox Church has called for
stricter control over the election process—evidence of the extent to
which anger has spread in Russian society.
Even by the depressed metrics of Southern California's real estate market, the Catholic Diocese of Orange negotiated a sweet deal when it purchased the iconic Crystal Cathedral, the longtime pulpit of Robert H. Schuller and the backdrop to his popular Hour of Power television broadcasts.

(RNS) Don't let the strains of "Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas" over the store's audio system fool you. Barnes & Noble is "against" Christmas.
Alan F. Geyer, 80, a widely published Christian ethicist and ecumenical leader and a former editor of the Christian Century, died November 28. Most recently he was canon ethicist at the Washington National Cathedral and professor of political ethics and ecumenics at Wesley Theological Seminary in Washington, D.C.
Two groups that opposed former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney's 2008 presidential run were evangelical Protestants and Jews. Many of the former believe that Mormons constitute a cult; the latter have long been offended by the Mormon practice of providing proxy baptisms for Jews who died during the Holocaust.

Well, this story is aptly named... I was shocked and appalled when he raped her... I think if you just kept it as a dark and forbidden relationship I would have liked reading this story, but to be honest your ending left me feeling... dirty and disturbed. I guess it was written decently, but I just don't like the end of the plot.
| 2ndSystem chapter 14 . 8/17/2013
i don't have any other words than: this story was so... epic.
you're a damn good writer you know that.
i really felt bad for Ginny, but also for Snape, both characters are just wow
So Amazed. keep on writing.
| JamieStuart chapter 14 . 7/30/2013
i loved reading this story! Beautifully written, mostly realistic and super exciting. Any chance for a sequel? Id love to see Snape and Ginny have a time together after this.. I wonder how they'd feel. (also, I really just hate Ginny dating Harry) Please write more of this! :)
| Originality-Report chapter 14 . 4/21/2013
Hmmm okay... U sort of feel as though Snape should have gone to Voldemort and been turtured to death. That woul have been a good ending. I don't suppose you could make an alternate ending could you? *hopeful face*
I know, I'm a horrible person or wanting the story to end that way. But *shrug* what can you do?
| Originality-Report chapter 13 . 4/21/2013
This here, this is pure gold.
| Originality-Report chapter 12 . 4/21/2013
Snape raping Ginny is probably the best thing you could have done for the story. Even though I'm not sure if you're going to change it- you haven't turned it into some romance (yet) or made them become shag-buddies (yet). I really feel like there should be more fanfiction like this, showing that even in the magical castle of Hogwarts that everyone thinks is safe, it really isn't safe...
Anyways.. I don't know what you have done with it yet. But I will soon. on to the next chapter!
| Originality-Report chapter 8 . 4/21/2013
That was amazing! How could anyone hate it? Your plot is awesomeness! Although I am a bit unuse as to how much of that Ginny drempt up. Did she dream up her and Harry kissing the first time as well?
| Originality-Report chapter 2 . 4/21/2013
This story is hilarious! Hahahaha wow... X)
| Guest chapter 14 . 4/8/2013
I kind of hated the ending. It was rape, she would not have forgiven him or lied to him.

Given access to separate two Xen instances running Linux, is there some way to identify if the two instances are running on the same physical machine?
No. Anything you can try can be faked by the hypervisor. Even if you're not running in a hostile environment, the hypervisor blocks all of the interesting hardware calls you can make normally (
You're trying to answer the wrong question, though. Any possible scenario I can imagine this being useful in is better solved with either comprehensive system monitoring or contractual guarantees with visibility of compliance.

Scabies is an easily-spread skin disease caused by a very small species of mite according to the National Center for Biotechnology Information.It';s spread by direct contact with infected people, and less often by sharing clothing or bedding. Sometimes whole families are affected.
Parents were made aware of the higher occurence of scabies at the school in a letter sent home Wednesday.School district officials say less than one percent of students at the school have scabies.

Total Denial
Total Denial tells the engrossing story of a historic lawsuit against two Western oil companies on behalf of a group of Burmese refugees.
In 1992, the French company TOTAL and UNOCAL, then based in California, embarked on a joint venture with the Burmese military regime to build a gas pipeline. The Burmese army, hired by the companies to provide security, instead forced many in the local population into slave labor, destroyed villages, and raped and tortured dozens. The film documents these atrocities while detailing the landmark decision against the corporations, the first instance of a decision against an American corporation for human rights abuses overseas.

THE MARIKINA RIVER...... a stretch of fun!
try visiting the place in the afternoon where the sun is not so hot! you'll enjoy the walk beside the river, watching the fish... or the kids running around...
They have built a shopping center beside the river called The River Banks which houses various establishments of shoes, clothes, restaurants and even tiangges (small stalls selling assorted item on cheaper prices)

Good Friday Procession
This is the first time I got to watch this kind of parade in Marikina, actually this is sort of like a tradition for the Marikenyos. Every Good Friday of the Holy Week, Marikenyos organize a procession where there are various floats of various saints (huge dolls / statues) and various depictions of the passion of the Christ. It was just like the Holy Week procession in other Roman Catholic dominated countries like Spain.
The procession starts right after the 4PM mass held in "Our Lady of the Abandoned" Church in Barangay Calumpang, Marikina. Loading the lifelike statue of Christ's body (Santo Entiero) in the coffin is the signal of the start of the procession.
I gotta tell you, the floats are too many it's crazy. My arms hurt with taking pictures of each float. There were 60 floats, not to mention floats coming from Sto. Niño Church, so there were likely around 70 floats total. I saw various apostles' floats, lots of saints, and also floats depicting the passion of Christ.

the Our lady of the abandoned is the patroness of Marikina ...visit her in her shrine (the our lady of the abandoned shrine). The icon of the our Lady is venerated by marikenos for centuries and was proven to be miraculous.

text: Posted May 3, 2014 You don't waste a 1st or a 2nd round pick on someone who lacks motivation and has off field issues. WR pool this year is deep, and I have several players I want over him. He might have potential, but it doesn't help anyone having potential if you don't have the mindset to use it the right way. Seriously, I know this guy has off the field issues and motivation problems, but he is one of the top 3 WRs in this draft and someone that could be a true #1 receiver. If we were lucky enough to have him fall to us, we would be on meds not to take him. 4 people like this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As an assignment, I'm trying to create two classes: One class,
Book, looks to see if a book is checked out and returns the title, author and page numbers in a book (these are input variables) and the other class, called
Library, adds title - author pairs to a dictionary and sees if some particular book is checked out or not. I keep getting an error message every time I try to run it. How do I fix this strange error?
Here is my code:
class Book:
def __init__(self, title, author, pages):
self.title = title
self.author = author
self.pages = pages
self.checkedOut = False
def checked_Out(self):
return self.checkedOut
def change_value_of_checkedOut(self):
if self.checkedOut == False:
self.checkedOut = True
print("Switched from False to True.")
elif self.checkedOut == True:
self.checkedOut = False
print("Switched from True to False.")
def return_pages(self):
return self.pages
def return_title(self):
return self.title
class Library:
def __init__(self):
collection = {}
def addExistingBook(self, book):
collection[book.title] = book.author
def addNewBook(self, title, author, pages):
new_book = Book(title, author, pages)
collection[title] = new_book.author
def change_checked_out_status(self, title):
if title in collection.keys():
print("This book is not in the collection.")
def main():
title = str(input("Enter the title of the book. "))
author = str(input("Enter the author of the book. "))
pages = int(input("Enter the number of pages in the book. "))
myBook = Book(title, author, pages)
myLib = Library()
Here is what happens when I try to run it:
Enter the title of the book. The Count of Monte Cristo
Enter the author of the book. Alexandre Dumas
Enter the number of pages in the book. 1250

Skip to comments.Readers unhappy with loss of privacy in Michigan primary elections
Posted on 12/28/2011 7:42:17 PM PST by Snoopers-868th
For decades, Michigan voters have been able to vote in primary elections without anyone knowing whether they were choosing the Democratic or Republican ballot.
That changes under a new law that goes in action for February's presidential primary.
Now the candidates for each party will be printed on separate ballots, and voters will have to fill out a form at the polls that states which ballot they are selecting.
(Excerpt) Read more at mlive.com ...
More at the link
I'm not thrilled with it because it didn't really close the primary. Instead it provides a mailing list to the parties.
That sounds dangerous.
I don't want anybody to know whom I voted for.
This is how we get the McCain's of the world with these damned open primaries. And I know you know. I'm just surprised the GOP hasn't fixed this yet.
Exactly. Tons of robocalls coming our way. I bet many will not vote in the primary.
Texas does this.
Ya....but without Voter I.D. nobody will ever know "who" selected which ballot....
Private ballots were a right and necessary for freedom in the USA. Are we now a Marxist country? Don't answer that.....it is obvious that we no longer are free people.
We've got a voter ID law in Michigan. I think the GOP wave last year was a sign that it works.
What people don't realize is that in some states people only register to vote and don't pick party's. Its not open primaries if you don't have party's to begin with. Now saying that I am for closed primaries. If you want to vote in the Republican Primary, register as a Republican.
Has anyone else seen Universal Product Code (UPC) on any of their ballots yet? Saw one on the last ballot cast in my neck of the woods.
I totally got it. I just don't understand why people can't find a party that identifies with their ideological viewpoint.
Nevermind...I do understand that.
You are not required to specify party to register to vote in Michigan.
big brother is watching.
"Weve got a voter ID law in Michigan."
Wait til Holder's DOJ gets through with you!
....sometime before next November.......
No. If it is only identifying ballots for one town or city, that make sense, however if they are unique to each paper ballot that is a whole other issue.
How would a person be able to know?
I've never been able to read bar-code. LOL
Ballot was scanned before being handed to me. God only knows what other information was accompanied with the scan. My neck of the woods is not Michigan, though this maybe is something to look out for in 2012 (nationwide).
Until the electronic machines came to my county thanks to HAVA the poll worker handed you a card (different color for each party) which you handed to the poll worker setting the machine.
Voter lists by party are available at no cost to candidates and for a low fee to the general public. The lists show which elections you voted in.
Pennsylvania "supervoters" like yours truly get lots of robocalls.
Party registration has been around almost as long as this country. No. Big. Deal.
In CT I never had a ballot scanned, except for the tabulating machine, just went to the table presented ID, whether they liked it or not, and was handed a ballot from a stack.
No one will. All it does is record which party's primary you chose to participate in. It is actually quite common all across the country and has been for many decades.
You are exactly right. It is worse then before.
Primary elections at state expense are subsidies for the established political parties already and now they are marketing events as well.
We do things different in Canada. When we vote, all the candidates or on one sheet of paper.
There is no keeping track of which party is being voted for, other than the fact that a certain party has taken the riding.
Absolutely 0 chance of union controlled voter intimidation THERE folks, just as there was no chance of conflict of interest when the SEIU got Harry Reid reelected in Nevada. Nope, such a thing would be highly unexpected.
Wow, that makes tossing Republican ballots in the shredder much easier.
I don't believe I have ever declared a party and I have voted for years and years.
Always printed out name and signed a paper. Paper was compared to voting roll, name was crossed off and I was given a ballot. I don't recall if it was numbered or not but I usually ask how many have voted.
We still have, or at least we had in 2010, the same system. The ballot was via black pen connect-the-arrow method then I put the ballot in an automated tabulation thingy and my ballot was put in a locked cylinder.
I don't vote in Democrat primary elections for their candidates. I am not a Democrat.
I don't want Democrats and/or misc. unaffiliated people voting in Republican primary elections. They are not Republicans.
Who you vote for in general elections is your business.
But you should not be allowed to vote in a primary, for a party you are not affiliated with.
Oh, and we do have to show ID.
All they're doing is making people choose their party in the primary like most other states do. They aren't revealing who that person voted for however.
Not a problem for me. I want Republicans picking Republicans, and Democrats picking Democrats as much as possible. Would rather have contrast than two mushy middlers parsing platitudes and putting their finger in the wind so we avoid the John McCains of the world.
Voter ID knocked down in the state where I reside. Hugh and Series!
We even got a magnetic strip reader for driver's licenses when voting now.
We have had voter ID in Michigan about as long as I have lived here (20 years).
Wow, you are high tech.
As noted in my post #15:
Wait til Holders DOJ gets through with you!
....sometime before next November.......
Are IDs being run through a machine before allowing a vote to be cast? Just curious. Please Lord, no death threats. Amen.
For decades, Michigan voters have been able to vote in primary elections without anyone knowing whether they were choosing the Democratic or Republican ballot.By "decaces" this story must mean about 20 or 25 years; I remember voting in a primary at the Kentwood library, and having to fill out the party pref card in order to receive the (one-party) ballot, must have been somewhere in the range of late 1983 to early 1985. It changed sometime after that.
In California, where I am registered to vote, I have always received a Republican primary ballot since I started declaring a party. The poll workers look at how you are registered on the books, and give you the appropriate ballot.
What is the perceived problem in Michigan? Separate ballots? Or is it the process of filling out a form stating which ballot one wants?
Unfortunately, it's still an open primary, since one can choose a party ballot the same day.
Most of the party establishment likes closed primaries. The democrats don't want Geoff Fieger winning primaries. Republicans didn't want McCain winning.
Voiced my complaint at township hall, they were totally uninterested in my complaint...That was how the democrats kept control of the township....
this was in Michigan, Lenox county, primary voting.
"Hi, boys. Y'all remember to vote today???" They could beat someone to death and Holder would say that it wasn't racist since the guys doing the beating weren't white.
How I wish they had tried to stop me on election day. "Never bring a baseball bat to a ..."

OK, so it's been a little while since we posted a good Ice Bucket Challenge video.
Somehow, someway, this one slipped through the cracks. Don't worry, we're investigating how that happened.
The Most Interesting Golfer in the World -- Miguel Angel Jimenez -- took the challenge in late August after being called out by Henrik Stenson.
ICE BUCKET CHALLENGES: Tom Watson | Tiger & Rory | George W. Bush | U.S. Ryder Cup team
But, he didn't use a measly little bucket. Instead, cigar in mouth, Jimenez was doused with what looks like a 32-gallon trash can.
Here it is:
In case you missed it there, yes, Jimenez nominated a bull fighter to take the challenge -- so Miguel Angel Jimenez of him to do that.

SAVANNAH, Ga. — More rainy weather across southern Georgia helped firefighters press their attack Wednesday on three large wildfires that have burned more than 60 square miles of woods and swampland in the past week.
Isolated thunderstorms and high humidity since the weekend have reduced most of the flames to smoldering embers, said Jenny Lynn Bruner, a spokeswoman for the Georgia Forestry Commission.
"The weather has helped out a great bit," Bruner said. "There hasn't been a whole lot of rain on the fires, just enough to slow the activity down. And with a high relative humidity, that means the fuels are holding a lot of moisture and it's harder to burn."
Tinder-dry conditions and strong winds last week quickly spread the fires across more than 38,700 acres in rural Long, Bacon, Ware and Clinch Counties. Three homes in Long County were destroyed last week. However, there's been no notable growth in size of the fires since Sunday.
Bruner said firefighters using bulldozers have managed to plow firebreaks around the perimeter of all three fires, but she cautioned that it's too early to say any of them have been completely contained or brought under control. That's because dry weather is expected to return later this week.

After helping to destroy the once relatively prosperous economy of Venezuela, socialist strongman Hugo Chávez died of cancer on Tuesday at 58, with some of his allies and subordinates insisting that the tyrannical leader was actually murdered by some sort of secret U.S. "cancer" weapon. With the passing of Chávez, more than a few analysts are already heralding the death of socialism in Latin America. Despite the loss of one of their most outspoken and visible leaders, however, the statist forces quietly seizing control of the region will continue to march onward.
The transformation of Latin America into a communist region received a boost from the recent reelection of President of Ecuador Rafael Correa, a leader in the São Paulo Forum, a revolutionary Marxist alliance.
In an ironic but predictable development that has establishment analysts scratching their heads and human-rights organizations up in arms, brutal communist dictator Raul Castro of Cuba just assumed the rotating presidency of a regional "integration" body that touts itself as being in favor of "democracy." Upon assuming his new role, the Marxist tyrant, who leads one of the most oppressive regimes in the world and will now be charged with running the supranational CELAC bloc, celebrated what he called "a common vision for the Latin American and Caribbean homeland."
Federal Brazilian police and military personnel, some wearing the United Nations insignia, are forcibly relocating whole communities in Brazil at gunpoint under the guise of returning huge tracts of land to Indians whose ancestors were allegedly there at some point. Thousands of local residents who have lived in the area for decades or were even born there, however, are fighting back, with critics saying the government's actions smack of Stalinism and may constitute crimes against humanity.
Amid an imploding economy, runaway inflation, shortages of basic goods, electricity blackouts, surging violence, and widespread accusations of voter fraud in Venezuela, socialist strongman Hugo Chávez allegedly won a narrow victory in Sunday's presidential election, according to the nation's National Electoral Council (CNE). Though the Venezuelan regime has a ban on publishing the results of exit polls, a widely cited survey conducted by the consulting firm Varianza showed opposition candidate Henrique Capriles ahead by a slim margin as the vote was coming to an end.
News reports and accounts from witnesses in Venezuela indicated that Chávez had ordered tanks and over 100,000 AK-47-wielding troops into the streets as fears about potential violence grew – the despotic self-styled socialist revolutionary had previously warned of civil war if he lost the election. On Twitter, meanwhile, angry Venezuelans accused Chávez of blatant voter fraud and threatened to leave the country.

I saw a video that the Tesla is in Forza 4, but I have no Idea how to unlock it. Does anyone know what to do to unlock the Tesla?
It appears to be part of a pre-order DLC - the Launch Bonus Car Pack. See this blog post on the Forza Garage
Cars included in the bonus pack:
If you pre-ordered, (or perhaps bought one of the first run of copies at retail? There's some ambiguity here) then you should have gotten a code in the box for this. There does not appear to currently be any other way to get these cars in the game.
