'I Love My Label': Resisting the Pre-Packaged Sound in Ed-Tech
march 2016 by mcmorgan
Tapping into a volume of historical data, the predictive algorithm guides course selection in a way that improves academic success and drives on-time degree completion." But just like the predictive modeling in music, this process should prompt us to ask a lot of questions about what feeds that algorithm and what are the results: What sorts of classes get recommended? Are students offered something that sounds familiar, comfortable? What signals to the algorithm what a student might find familiar? What happens in the face of an algorithmic education to intellectual curiosity? To risk-taking, to exploration, experimentation, play? To the major that many of us pursue for a while, "Undecided." Does the educational system as-is, with or without an algorithm, value these things? And what happens when classes are devised in order to perform well according to this algorithm?d2l corporateculture

Top Ed-Tech Trends of 2012: Education Data and Learning Analytics
april 2014 by mcmorgan
Watters essays the politics of data collection and use inside and out of the cms."The promise of this data they argue is that through mining and modeling, we can enhance student learning and predict student success." Addresses "what is data" along the way. "However, not everything that can be counted counts, and not everything that counts can be counted." – William Bruce Cameron (1963) Or this from one of Watters's earlier considerations: "the easily quantifiable but in the end meaningless. There are a lot of obvious numbers in our day-to-day lives – what we read, where we click, what we like, how much time we spend studying, who we talk to and ask for help. It's the administrivia of education. And frankly that seems to be the focus of a lot of "what counts" in learning analytics. But does this really help us uncover, let alone diagnose or augment learning? What needs to happen to spur collection and reflection over our data so we can do a better job of this – not for the sake of the institution, but for the sake of the individual?"d2l learningenvironments learningoutcomes learninganalytics

" [167] affect the question, one way or the other," was most embarrassing. The "Liberty party," so called, pushed this view of the matter beyond all justice and reason, insisting that Mr. Clay's antagonism to Annexation, not being founded in anti-Slavery conviction, was of no account whatever, and that his election should, on that ground, be opposed. Mr. James G. Birney, their candidate for President, went still further, and, in a letter published on the eve of the election, proclaimed that Mr. Clay's election would be more likely to promote Annexation than Mr. Polk's, because of Mr. C.'s superior ability and influence! It was in vain that Mr. Clay attempted to retrieve his error — if error it was — by a final letter to The National Intelligencer, reasserting his unchanged and invincible objections to any such Annexation as was then proposed or practicable.1 The State of New York was carried against him by the lean plurality of 5,106 in nearly 500,000 votes — the totals being, Clay, 232,482, Polk, 237,588, Birney, 15,812;--one-third of the intensely anti-Slavery votes thrown away on Birney would have given the State to Mr. Clay, and elected him. The vote of Michigan was, in like manner, given to Polk by the diversion of anti-Slavery suffrages to Birney; but New York alone would have secured Mr. Clay's election, giving him 141 electoral votes to 134 for his opponent. As it was, Mr. Clay received the electoral votes of Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, Vermont, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, North Carolina, Ohio, Kentucky, and Tennessee--105 in all, being those of eleven States; while Mr. Polk was supported by Maine, New Hampshire, New York, Pennsylvania, Virginia, South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, Missouri, and Arkansas--fifteen States, casting 170 electoral votes. The popular votes throughout the country, as returned, were, for Clay, 1,288,533; for Polk, 1,327,325; for Birney, 62,263. So the triumph of Annexation had been secured by the indirect aid of the more intense partisans of Abolition.
1 This letter bears date "Ashland, September 23, 1844," and says:
In announcing my determination to permit no other letters to be drawn from me on public affairs, I think it right to avail myself of the present occasion to correct the erroneous interpretation of one or two of those which I had previously written. In April last, I addressed to you from Raleigh a letter in respect to the proposed treaty annexing Texas to the United States, and I have since addressed two letters to Alabama upon the same subject. Most unwarranted allegations have been made that those letters are inconsistent with each other, and, to make it out, particular phrases or expressions have been torn from their context, ind a meaning attributed to me which I never entertained. I wish now distinctly to say, that there is not a feeling, a sentiment, or an opinion, expressed in my Raleigh letter to which I do not adhere. I am decidedly opposed to the immediate Annexation of Texas to the United States. I think it would be dishonorable, might involve us in war, would be dangerous to the integrity and harmony of the Union; and, if all these objections were removed, could not be effected upon just and admissible conditions. It was not my intention, in either of the two letters which I addressed to Alabama, to express any contrary opinion. Representations had been made to me that I was considered as inflexibly opposed to the Annexation of Texas under any circumstances; and that my position was so extreme that I would not waive it, even if there was a general consent to the measure by all the States of the Union. I replied, in my first letter to Alabama, that, personally, I had no objection to Annexation. I thought that my meaning was sufficiently obvious, that I had no personal, individual, or private motives for opposing, as I have none for espousing, the measure — my judgment being altogether influenced by general and political considerations, which have ever been the guide of my public conduct.

The Different Roles Of The User In WordPress User Access Management
WordPress User Access Management and Its User's Various Roles
Who would have thought that the task of creating your own website can now easily be done even if you are not an IT expert or that familiar when it comes to website design? Through WordPress, a free open-source CMS or content management system, anyone can create their own blogging or business website with their chosen domain and design.
Even if the creation of a WordPress website could be handled even without that needed expertise, managing one up to multiple websites is no easy task. It requires time and a bit of money investment. There are plug-ins that could help you manage your WordPress website effectively and efficiently. Some are offered for free and could be more enjoyed when its premium version is used. Another part of managing WordpRess sites is its user access. This is important as it involves the security to ensure that only you and the people you gave the permission could access the admin of your website and make changes. For this, it is vital that you are aware of the default roles of a user for your effective WordPress user access management.
Being the user, you are the main administrator of the site. You have the total access to all the options and features allowed to you in your WordPress website. Second role that you have is being the editor. A website needs to have content and it is also your task as the user to provide the content be it in the form of written articles, images, and videos and publish them.
As an editor, you may hire people that can provide the content for you as your contributors. You should review the content before publishing it and scheduling on when it could be press released. Some users are also the author where they only publish their own posts whenever they wish it. Another role is being a contributor who is the main provider of the content and will submit their posts to the editor to go through the review process before publishing it. The last default role of the user is being the subscriber who is the one who changes the profile and making comments. The internet provides endless data on this subject. Nonetheless, many of this data is old. Finding updated sources is a must to get quality data. More information about wordpress access control is available on our website.
Just like in monitoring your WordPress website's performance through keyword ranking checker plugins and apps, there are also some to aid you on your user management plan. This kind of plug-ins is very handy especially if you are managing a website that is also a multi-user. Although WordPress already has its own built-in WordPress user access management system, you can improve it with these kinds of plug-ins. This ensures you that other people who have access to your website admin could make the changes they need to do and at the same time they are also restricted to specific areas to which they are not allowed to.

Robbie Williams to Pay Royalties
Published 7:00 pm, Wednesday, February 13, 2002
Chart-topping singer Robbie Williams and his publisher must pay $71,000 in royalties to the owners of a song whose lyrics he plagiarized, a judge ruled Thursday.
Judge Nicholas Pumfrey rejected a request for more damages from Ludlow Music Inc., which holds the copyright to the Woody Guthrie song "I Am the Way."
The High Court ruled in October 2000 that Williams had copied substantial portions of the song for "Jesus in a Camper Van," a track from his 1998 album "I've Been Expecting You."
The original song, which Guthrie wrote in 1961 and Loudon Wainwright III adapted in 1973, included the lines: "Every Son of God gets a little hard luck sometimes, especially when he goes round saying he is the way."
The Williams song contained the line: "I suppose even the Son of God gets it hard sometimes, especially when he goes round saying I am the way."
Williams and his collaborators admitted using elements of the Wainwright version, and credited him on the album. But he and publisher EMI had not agreed to Ludlow's request for 50 percent of the song royalties. EMI had offered 25 percent instead. Ludlow fought the offer in court.
Pumfrey ruled Williams should pay 25 percent of the royalties _ about $71,000 _ along with a similar amount in Ludlow's costs.
He also granted an injunction that bars future use of the part of the lyric that infringed copyright and prevents new pressings of the recording.
Pumfrey said additional damages were not justified because the copyright infringement had not been cynical or flagrant.
The judge, who said he had "grave doubts as to who has actually won this case," granted both sides permission to appeal.

Lord in your mercy, hear our prayers.
Please pray for the people of Haiti and the relief workers. Funds are desperately needed for recovery work and will be needed for rebuilding also. During times like this, many disreputable people and organizations will try to take your money under the guise of providing help for recovery efforts. Some people are running blatant scams and there are also familiar organizations that collect money but spend a large percentage of it on themselves and very little on the actual cause. These people will prey on your compassion so you must be cautious when making donations.
One organization I can vouch for is The United Methodist Committee on Relief (UMCOR). 100% of your donation will go directly to recovery efforts in Haiti. You can also help by making health kits which provide basic necessities to disaster victims. If you are able to make a donation to help with the recovery efforts, please consider giving to UMCOR. Go to http://www.umcor.org for information and to make donations.
Grace and peace be with you.

At first the vibrations in the water are faint. Small ripples break through the surface of the stream as they push out from the base of an old stone building. But the current soon becomes a rapid swirl as more than 8,000 gallons flow into the creek with each passing minute.
The disturbance outside is matched by a show of force inside. With the turn of a wheel, a 1,000-pound stone begins to rotate. It sounds like railroad cars clattering to life, picking up speed until the individual clicks blend into a continuous rhythm.

The mill is alive.
Nearly every weekend Ed Krugmire drives three hours from Afton, Minnesota, to carry on a legacy passed down through four generations of his family. Schech's Mill sits at the end of a single lane dirt road in between a smattering of southern Minnesota towns whose populations don't number more than 3,000. Ed's great-grandfather first bought the mill in 1887, and the family has kept the historic site running ever since. Today, the antiquity is the oldest water-powered mill in Minnesota still operating with its original equipment.
"Nobody else can do some of these things," says Ed, who took over the Houston County mill when his parents passed away in 2006. "I'm lucky that I'm handy with the equipment and know how things go together, otherwise it would be a struggle to keep the mill going."
The three-story building is a portal back to a time when phones attached to strings, kerosene lamps burned bright, and electricity was a luxury most couldn't afford. Yet while modern advances swept through the towns surrounding the mill, inside little has changed. As its caretaker, Ed spends hours preserving the small slice of history to prevent it from turning into another abandoned building taking up space in the countryside.
"Most mills just sit there and don't run. We have the three original turbines and the four millstones," says Ed, who grinds a variety of grain using the same process they did in the 1800s. "No other mill does that. If I don't take care of it now, then it would be really difficult to get going again."
Powering a legend
Schech's Mill almost looks magical when you step through the doors. A white dusting of powder settles over everything in the room: the thick oak and pine beams, the centuries-old equipment and the wooden floors.
From his hat to his pants, Ed wears a strict uniform of light gray, beige, and white. Black isn't a color that stays clean for long when you're working in a flour mill. Even the 64-year-old's beard, flecked with gray, falls in line with the rest of his getup. From the slippery floors to the haze that hangs in the air, flour is everywhere. When you breathe in, the pulverized wheat escapes into your nose and settles in your lungs.
The building is a labyrinth of chutes, bins, pulleys, and gears. As the sole operator, Ed has run the mechanical marvel by himself for more than a decade. The mill's showpieces are its four large millstones, made of French quartz, and three original turbines buried in a concrete vault beneath a hatch in the basement floor. Each piece, except for the third turbine installed in 1924, dates back to building's inception in 1876.
The water-powered equipment at Schech's Mill yields stone-ground flour // Photos by Kevin Kramer, The Growler
To make flour, Ed starts by dumping a hard winter wheat into a grain hopper, which feeds the kernels down in between two slabs of stone. As the tan-colored behemoths spin against one another, the grain travels through the crevice between the top and bottom stones. As the wheat makes its way through the rough surface to the outer edge, it's ground into a fine powder.
Ed relies on Beaver Creek to power the millstones. Thanks to a manmade stream called a millrace, dug out by a horse and scoop when the site was first built, water flows under the building and through one of three turbines. When those machines start to spin, they can generate anywhere from 15 to 40 horsepower—enough to get a stationary stone moving instantly. Compared to the amount of power and money it would take to accomplish the same feat with an electric motor, water power is cheap. Plus, the turbines lie deep enough below the surface of the stream that they never freeze, making them well-suited to withstand Minnesota's bitter winters.

The 64-year-old maneuvers through the flour-making process by sound and sight. He can hear when a belt slips or when a machine plugs up. Unlike the technology installed in modern day mills, there's no beeper to alert him if a grain roller stops turning. He simply has to listen for a problem, and then find it quickly. Maintaining the historic site is by far Ed's biggest challenge. He repairs the antique equipment piece by piece, and hopes to get a third millstone and the industrial sifters on the second floor running again soon.
"It's not like you can just blink your eyes and have it done. There are no directions on how to fix these machines," says Ed of the eight-foot long hexagonal sifter. "It's trial and error. [It's] experimenting. It's not a simple fix."

The End is Really A Beginning
"Life is magically intertwined . . . nothing, be it a problem, solution, emotion, or thought, is in a compartment by itself to be inspected in isolation. "
That is from this post and I realized something as I was reading it. When I started this blog some 16 months ago, I was scared and alone in really bad emotional, financial and physical place.
I thought associating those things with my real life and my real name would get in the way of my future real life.
Yet it was the trauma of my past life getting in my way. I stopped functioning. Completely. I wanted to isolate this dysfunction in another entity. I was even ironic about it, calling the entity "Ria Ludy".
Lately, I been feeling like a fraud (maybe because Ria Ludy is.)
I've been unable to allow myself to get close to anything here and the reading of Barbara Sher's "Wishcraft" exacerbated that feeling.
I also noticed how Being Ria Ludy kept me stuck in that pain of my past and how I wasn't going to climb out of it because that's all Ria was and is.
She can view a brighter future in the crystal ball she's holding but it's not her future she sees. It's always belongs to someone else. Her future is all pain and trauma, because that was the dysfunction she was built to house.
She did serve her purpose.
I'm willing to accept her trauma as my own. It is no longer something outside and separate from me. It is me and it is not all of me. It has informed my decisions, motivations, actions and use of my talents. It will be with me in the present and into the future.
This is my last post here. I'm closing comments. I thank all of you for stopping by.
I won't pull any of the posts because I respect the people who have commented and/or dropped by to read them. Hopefully they lifted something or shifted something for you. They helped me understand that I am not alone.

Baahubali 2's Leaks in Full Swing!
Looks like whenever some negative news is spread on 'Baahubali's result in other countries, the production team, straightaway, counterbalances that negativity giving interesting leaks on the sequel of the film, 'Baahubali – The Conclusion'.
Some time ago, when the negative result news of 'Baahubali' was heard from European countries, the makers were quick in revealing some interesting updates on the sequel. Now that the movie proved to be a disaster at China box office, the makers have leaked interesting updates to a national media.
Reports are that more changes in Mahishmathi set will be done in the sequel. The makers also disclosed Tamin Nadu pre biz details of the project. According to them, Tamil version's theatrical rights were sold out to Rs.45 crores. However, the name and other details of the buyer was not revealed by anyone. The movie's release date is locked to April 14, 2016.

Loons rally for three in the eighth to defeat Whitecaps
Published 8:00 pm, Saturday, May 12, 2007
COMSTOCK PARK - For the second straight night, the Great Lakes Loons pulled out a late-inning rally.
On the heels of Friday's ninth-inning come-from-behind win over Wisconsin, the Loons scored three runs in the eighth inning on Saturday to pull out a 3-2 victory over the West Michigan Whitecaps in Midwest League play at Fifth Third Ballpark.
The Whitecaps are the Class A affiliate of the Detroit Tigers. They're managed by Tom Brookens, a teammate of Loons' manager Lance Parrish with the Tigers during the 1980s.
The Loons had twice as many hits as the Whitecaps, 12-6, but didn't take the lead until the eighth inning.
West Michigan scored single runs in the fifth and seventh innings to build a 2-0 lead. But the Loons stormed back.
Trayvon Robinson opened the inning with a double. Bridger Hunt followed with a single to short center that sent Robinson to third. Francisco Lizzaraga drove in Robinson with a single to deep short to make it 2-1.
After Preston Mattingly and Eduardo Perez struck out, Adolfo Gonzalez singled to center to drive in Hunt with the tying run. Following a pitching change, Carlos Santana singled to drive in Lizzaraga with the eventual game-winning run.
Jesus Rodriguez came on to pitch for the Loons and held the Whitecaps scoreless in the eighth and ninth innings.
Cody White picked up the win for the Loons. He allowed two runs on just four hits in seven innings. Rodriguez got his third save.
Christopher Cody took the loss for the Whitecaps.
Hunt, Lizzaraga, Robinson and Scott Van Slyke each had two hits to pace the Loons' offense.
The win elevates the Loons' record to 15-20 while West Michigan drops to 18-16 with the loss.
The teams will be back in action today at 2 p.m. in the second of a four-game series. Clayton Kershaw (3-0) pitches for the Loons against Whitecaps righthander Jonah Nickerson.

The Story
Tommy escapes and attempts to warn the local sheriff, Michael Garris (David Kagen), about Jason's resurrection. Not believing his story, Garris puts Tommy behind bars while Jason prowls the newly named Camp Forest Green. While in lock up, Tommy meets the sheriff's daughter, Megan (Jennifer Cooke), who takes quite a liking to him. Megan and her friends are counselors at a nearby summer camp for kids, whose lives are now threatened by the mask wielding maniac. With Megan's help, Tommy manages to escape the police station and head off to find Jason, who by this time has killed a couple vacationers, paintballers, a drunk graves keeper, and of course, some horny camp counselors.
As good as Jason is, it is the rest of the cast that usually makes or breaks his films, and thankfully all the supporting players do their jobs. This is nothing more than an entertaining B-movie, and the actors know it, playing their roles with exaggerated expressions and dialogue. Thom Mathews is especially fun as Tommy Jarvis, and is a large improvement over John Shepherd's dull and depressing characterization in Part V. None of the cast play their roles seriously, and as a result, the film is a whole lot of fun.
After the nihilistic heft of The Final Chapter and the campy excess of A New Beginning, this sequel is a more modest return to the simple groundwork set by the second film, where the only mandate was to emulate a rollercoaster ride with laughs and screams. Coming at a time when both the Friday series and horror in general was starting to play itself out in the era of home video, this one starts to introduce a few post-modern sensibilities, but at its heart, it's that same fun, earnest Friday the 13th the fans love. It would prove to be the last, too, before the high concepts of telekenesis, manhattan, hell and space took over. Jason may live again in this film, but when he gets buried in the lake, so too does the old reliable Friday formula. It was nice knowing you, old friend.
Image Quality
When Paramount first rolled out DVDs of the Friday the 13th films, the transfers were commonly regarded as good, if serviceable, transfers. That changed with Part 6 onwards, where Paramount really stepped up and delivered some crystal clear transfers. The visual upgrades for the previous 5 films, while beautiful, aren't really a stretch considering how far transfer technology has come. Jason Lives provides the true test, since the original DVD already looked so good. Well, the end result isn't quite as glowing as with the previous Deluxe Editions. In fact, in many ways the revised color timing in this film seems a step back. The previous transfer really pushed the blues that factor so much into the moonlit cabins and the lakeside finale, here though, Paramount sidesteps the blue for a more murky green, and the effect is not nearly as appealing. Other scenes look more yellow than they ought to, and really, a lot of times the colors just seem off. It's certainly stylistically different than the 2001 DVD, whether that's a plus or not I guess depends on the beholder…that's why we do screenshots!
That said, this transfer, like those for 4 & 5, increases the viewing area ever so slightly. There is also less grain as textures and detail look a bit sharper in this new transfer. A change of pace from the other films, the timing on this new transfer is actually darker than the original track. Compared to the earlier films, the original DVD of Jason Lives was quite bright, but again, I'm not sure if the darkening here was the right thing. There are bits in the original DVD where blacks are a tad milky from the added gamma and in this track that never happens, but at the same time some scenes feel a bit too dark, like the cabin scene with the little girl. All the previous films have been obvious upgrades, but honestly, recommending this new Jason Lives master comes down to preference.
If Jason Lives was the first Friday film to really look like a quality DVD, then it too is the first one to really sound like one. This was the first film mixed in stereo upon theatrical release, so the surround track on the previous DVD was certainly more dynamic than usual for Jason. This time it gets the Dolby Digital 5.1 upgrade, and like the video, it really isn't all that much better. By most accounts the 2.0 surround track and the 5.1 mix are almost identical, both with a decent soundspace, but both having limited channel separation and zero directionality. Sound effects and music cues are once again pushed to the backs; you'd think that now with stereo master tapes, Paramount could have separated the channels a little more for this 5.1 upgrade. The 5.1 mix only sounds a touch louder, but bass levels are almost the same. There are a ton of explosions, car chases, lightning crashes and other natural sound elements present in this track – it's a shame Paramount didn't bother to maximize them at all. Ho hum.
Supplemental Material
A little bulkier than A New Beginning but still no The Final Chapter, Jason Lives gets a sizable amount of special features on this Deluxe Edition release. First up is the commentary with Tom McLoughlin, editor Bruce Green and actor Vincent Guastaferro. This represents a sort of balance between the fact-heavy filmmaker commentary on The Final Chapter and the jokey one found on A New Beginning. McLoughlin and Guastaferro really keep this going, bouncing memories off of each other throughout, with Bruce Green mostly quiet, but occasionally chiming in with interesting editing anecdotes. McLoughlin shares a lot of great tips on directing techniques and also really remembers every minute detail of the film. McLoughlin previously went solo for the commentary track on the box set, but with Guastaferro there to keep up the levity, this is an even better track than before.
Like with the previous films, there's a short featurette looking back on the film. This one, "Jason Lives: The Making of Friday the 13th: Part VI" (12:55) brings together Tom McLoughlin, his wife (who played the American Express card victim), the sheriff (or "Sherriff" as it's improperly written on the title card) David Kagen, and effects men Gabe Bartalos and Chris Biggs. Tom's already spoken at length about the film on previous editions and interviews, and as such there isn't much new here. It's nice to see the sheriff again today, and he expresses a lot of enthusiasm about the fanbase, but like all the other participants, doesn't really offer anything new. It's all the same old story here, with speakers surprised at how the series has lived on, how they had to endure cuts from the MPAA, etc. Where's Alice Cooper? Thom Matthews? This featurette is sadly a shallow disappointment.
Probably the most interesting extra is a recreated alternate ending using voice over and storyboards. Tom McLoughlin introduces the "Meeting Mr. Voorhees" (2:45) segment, stating how this was always the ending he had intended. Basically, it introduces to the screen Jason Voorhees' father as a bit of a cliffhanger for the next film. It's great they went to the extra work to make this supplement, but sadly the piece really doesn't offer much above the cliché and would have surely hurt the series. Jason's dad comes off as a poor man's Man in Black (yeah, I know) from the Halloween franchise, and we all know how much the fans love him. The absence of a father figure has always been key to the Friday the 13th films, which is yet another reason why this tacked on ending just doesn't work.
Next up are "Slashed Scenes" (6:04) which consists mostly of extended murder sequences that were trimmed by the MPAA. There is also quite a bit on the tamer side with an extended finale with Tommy drowning at the lake and the subsequent revival. There is even some religion thrown in for good measure. Many of these deleted scenes were already featured on the "From Crystal Lake to Manhattan" set, although this time instead of being presented split screen to show the differences, these ones are full (frame) and intact. Prepare for some fan edits! On the box set, the deleted scenes ran 4:35, and here they run 6:04, mostly because of how long the final bits are with Tommy on the lake shore. Missing from this new disc is a longer (and better) dialogue scene in one of the cabins between some of the campers. Why they couldn't have just included everything from the previous disc is beyond me, and this marks the second time they've goofed on this, forgetting about all the nicely extended scenes from The Final Chapter prior. Still, it's great to have these in full, now.
The third installment in the mockumentary "The Crystal Lake Massacres Revisited" (9:33) rebounds after the jokey theatrics of the second segment. This one is still quite funny, but the humor is more earned from observation on inconsistencies in the Jason Lives story than cheap jokes. Like the first segment, it has a lot of fun trying to rationalize plot holes in the series. They talk about how Tommy likely got plastic surgery between the happenings of A New Beginning and Jason Lives to hide himself from Jason, and they also question how Jason could just stay chained underwater in a shallow lake without anyone finding him. It's all great fun, and such a novel idea – here's hoping we get stuff like this for the inevitable special editions for the Elm Street films once that remake hits the market.
The three episode story arc ends here in "Lost Tales from Camp Blood – Part 6", with the hospital patient again lost in the woods with Jason on his tail. This one has some solid confrontation, and dramatically the ending is pretty damn brutal. You won't see the final camper in any slasher film act like the one here. Good stuff, and hopefully it continues for the final two discs. The disc is rounded off with the fun theatrical trailer and that obligatory preview for The Uninvited. Another fine lenticular cover also graces this DVD release.
Final Thoughts


text:
We spent a relaxing summer vacation day doing a little shopping in Rockwall and managed to work up quite an appetite. On the way home, we decided to stop in at Alejandro's Grill & Cantina.
The lunch special prices are amazingly affordable - not much more than a fast food meal. We decided to try an order of shredded beef tacos with flour tortillas and an order of pork tacos in corn tortillas. Given the price, we didn't expect much but both orders came with yummy refried beans, rice, a cilantro and onion blend, and an amazing spicy salsa. The juiciness of the tender, slow-cooked meats was the most wonderful lunchtime surprise we've experienced in quite some time. Both types of tortillas were tender and flavorful but they also held up to the oozing goodness of juices and salsa.
After experiencing good margaritas and great taco lunches, we pondered how surprised we were that only a few other customers were dining in the restaurant. Lunches this good, at prices this affordable, should be attracting a killer lunch crowd. Our only explanation is location. It's a little out of the way for us and we are usually only in the vicinity on our way to do some occasional shopping in Rockwall. After this visit though, we're definitely willing to go a little out of the way to check out Alejandro's dinner menu.

"In the absence of such an agreement, the United States will not again waive sanctions in order to stay in the Iran nuclear deal", Trump said on Friday.
Iran, which has always maintained that its nuclear program is peaceful, signed the deal with the United States, U.K., France, Russia, China, and Germany in 2015, allowing for repeated inspections of its nuclear facility in exchange for sanctions relief. Trump, however, has stated that this will be the "last time" he waives those sanctions, unless the United States and its European allies can find a way to remove "loopholes" in the nuclear deal within the next four months.
Describing sanctions against Larijani as "hostile action", the foreign ministry said the move "crossed all the red lines of conduct in the global community".
A senior administration official said Trump wants the 2015 Iran deal strengthened with a follow-on agreement in 120 days or the United States will unilaterally withdraw from the global pact.
Although Trump approved the waivers on Friday, he has railed against the deal since his presidential campaign, particularly against what he calls "sunset clauses" that allow Tehran to gradually resume wider nuclear activities in the next decade.
Mr Trump is also waiving other United States penalties covered by the agreement, including on Iran's oil and gas sectors, which were up for renewal next week.
But it is by no means clear if Congress can come up with a solution to revisit the deal within 120 days, in which case the USA may withdraw from the landmark deal.
Tres Tinkle scores 18, but Oregon State falls at Arizona
The win was there for the taking, but a late-game collapse denied Oregon State its first road win over a Top 25 team since 1985. Trier would hit a big-time three-point jumper making it 81-77 in favor of the Wildcats, ultimately sealing the win for Arizona.
Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif responded, saying that the deal is not renegotiable and that Trump's stance amounts to "desperate attempts to undermine a solid multilateral agreement".
Trump's announcement on sanctions came one day before a deadline expired for the administration to make a decision on the issue.
The 2015 agreement was signed by Barack Obama, Mr Trump's predecessor, and saw economic sanctions waived in return for Iran not developing nuclear weapons.
In October, Trump said that he would not certify the deal, a dramatic but largely ceremonial gesture that he is expected to repeat this week.
This is in addition to the five entities in Iran sanctioned last week and previous sanctions targeting Iran's ballistic missile program.
Washington's apparent plan to wreck the deal was also chastised by Moscow, which warned that the United States is on course for a major foreign policy blow if Trump follows through on his pledge, calling the spate of United States sanctions "chaos and madness".
"While Britain may move to support the USA on this, Germany and France are likely to be strongly opposed", he said. There are about 400 International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) inspectors in Iran, and they indicate Iran is complying with the deal.

Lucas Energy gains another win through cash infusion, compliance extension
Houston-based Lucas Energy Inc. (NYSE: LEI) has a new agreement for a $2 million equity offering that its CEO calls an "initial step" toward regaining financial security and full compliance to remain on the New York Stock Exchange.
The NYSE also has accepted Lucas' compliance plan and extended its required compliance date from April 14 to July 31 in order to avoid delisting.
The equity deal is with funds managed by Ironman Energy Master Fund and John B. Helmers, who is associated with Long Focus Capital Management. The company plans to use the net proceeds from the sale of the equity offering solely for oil and gas development and for general corporate purposes.
Lucas CEO Anthony Schnur called the deal a "vote of confidence" from two of Lucas' "significant shareholders."
Got Energy? Sign up for our Energy Inc. newsletter here .
Lucas Energy is currently considering options on how to grow financially through merger options and other possibilites. The company is an oil and gas production company focused on Texas shale plays in the Eagle Ford and Austin Chalk regions and more.
"This is cash needed to provide the company with the necessary liquidity," Schnur said. "These small steps are just leading to the overall type of transaction to finally be free and clear of any compliance issues."
Schnur insists that the company is not selling its assets and plans to remain a public company. Schnur took over the company in December 2012 to turn things around and the decision was made late last year to expand and shift its focus more from its Austin Chalk acreage to the Eagle Ford shale formation.
In February, Lucas received NYSE notice that the company was below listing standards because of its financial condition and resources. Schnur readily acknowledges Lucas needs to grow in order to compete more viably in the shale boom.

Assignment 3: Othello
InformationThe Othello assignment is to write an AI that plays the game Othello. You can find the rules for Othello here.
Your AI will be queried once per turn for a move, You have 3 seconds to calculate your move. For every 10 seconds over you take making your turns, you lose 1 point from your final score.
Your AI should use a negamax tree like was discussed in class to make your move. It is recommend you use pruning and some form of iterative deepening to get good results within your 3 second time limit. For designing your move scoring, you can find Othello strategy guides on the web.
For more information on negamax and iterative deepening you can look in Millington or Buckland, as well as this web page:
Negamax on Wikipedia
Developing your AI
Readying your development environment
First download Unity3D 4.3 or later. You may use the PC, OSX or Linux versions.
If you do not have it you can get it here:
Unity3D Download
After you install Unity you will need to make an account. If you like you can then select the 30 day pro trial or the free Community version. Everything we do in class you will be able to do with the free version.
Note that if you try Pro you will be have to be careful not to use pro features in personal projects you wish to save unless you intend to buy a license. If you would like a 1 year academic student license to Unity Pro, you can get that for about $150 here:
Unity Store at Studica.com
Once you have Unity installed, you will need the Othello project. Download it from the link below:
After you have it downloaded the project, unzip it someplace safe and then start Unity. After the initial welcome and licensing screen you should see a chooser that looks like this:
Make sure you have the Open Project tab selected at the top.
Click Open Other... and you should see a dialog that looks something like this:
Navigate to where you unzipped the Robotanks folder. Select it and click Open and after a bit of loading you should see this:
(Note that the dark theme of the windows is pro mode, your will probably be lighter grey.)
If you do not see the game board then you do not have the scene open yet. In that case, select the Assets window in the Project pane on the bottom left of the screen and you should see the Game Scene object to open in the Assets window like this:
You can press the play icon at the top of the Unity window and watch the default Ai play (it isn't very good).
Writing your Negamax tree search
In the assets folder you will see a script called "StupidPlayer". This is an AI that makes random moves. However, it illustrates how your AI will be called, how to work with the game board, and how to return your move.
Just like in the Robotanks game, the script is made available to the game by assigning it to a prefab. The prefab is simply a GameObject that has your AI class as its only component.
Write your negamax code in the method
public override OthelloGame.BoardPosition nextMove(GameBoard game)
Use the game board passed into you and use its Clone method as you descend the tree trying different moves. DO NOT MODIFY THE BOARD THAT IS PASSED IN To YOU, ONLY IT'S CLONES.
To test your AI, make a prefab out of it and then drop it in one of the slots in the PlayerPrefabs list which is part of the Othello Game component on the Checker Board game object.

Actress Sheena Nayyar unravels her Cover StoryFollow us on Social Media
Follow @iamdesirulez
Tweet #iamdesirulez
Sheena Nayyar made her Bollywood debut with a rather obscure film- Mallika last year. This year, however, the actress looks forward to making some noise with the release of her second film Cover Story opposite Jackie Shroff.
As a photo shoot for the movie progressed at Mehboob studios, Sheena Nayyar spoke to A. Ganesh Nadar in between shots about her Bollywood experience so far and her future plans.
We know so little about you. Tell us something about yourself.
I was born in Shivpuri, Madhya Pradesh. As my dad was in the army I traveled around during my childhood. My mom's a housewife and I have a brother. I've done my graduation from Delhi University.
How did movies happen?
It was not an impulsive decision. While I was in college in Delhi, I started modeling. Then I came to Mumbai for better opportunities. One thing led to another and then I got a chance to do a movie.
Did your family support your decision to be in films?
Yes! To a certain extent though. Initially thery were skeptical about my decision because I didn't know anyone in Mumbai. So I really had to convinve them to let me do it.
They came around eventually when they saw how far I'd come
You don't have connections in Bollywood so how difficult was it for you to break in?
These days every profession is competitive and difficult, unless you are going into your own family business. It is difficult to get a good job anywhere. It is mainly your hard work, your focus, where you want to be and what you want to achieve. Your friend circle, your contacts, your PRs, everything matters.
You have to develop your talents. I went for dance classes. I did theatre. I worked hard and was focused. In Bollywood you cannot do anything without friends and well wishers. I have a lot of well wishers here now.
How did you land the lead role in Mallika?
I went to the Percept office as I knew they were casting actors for the film. I met director Louis and the Percept people. They were looking for someone who could play the character convincingly. I went through several rounds of auditions. I really liked the script and they liked my performance. Maybe I was there at the right time, the right moment and it clicked. I got that role.
Mallika didn't do very well. How did you get Cover Story opposite Jackie Shroff?
This movie has got nothing to do with how Mallika did because I got this role before Mallika released. After I finished shooting for my first film, I started shooting for this one.
Do you think the struggle was worth it?
(Laughs) I will think and decide when I reach where I want to. I want to do some more projects. I wish to work with certain people. If you ask me now, I am happy with what I am doing. It's been worth it. Rather than doing small jobs its better to explore and go ahead.
...being a human...

Learn how to pray powerfully with this week-long free email devotional.
Paul aimed to preach the Gospel where Christ was not known. He had covered the eastern territories well. So he looked toward the west as his next mission field. He was planning a missionary journey to Spain (15:19-24) and was hoping that Rome would become his home base for this mission as Antioch had been for his missionary endeavors in the East. He wrote this epistle, systematically presenting the Gospel in order to win the support of the Romans.
Paul was about to go to Jerusalem to deliver the fund he had collected for the poor in Jerusalem. Before his departure, he was apprehensive about his own safety in Jerusalem (15:30-31). Probably he thought it good to have a systematic presentation of the Gospel he proclaimed, so that if he should die, the Gospel would be preserved.

New surplus shop in Vancouver
since Ominae is asking for surplus shop ! I figure why not just share this new info I found.
I was walking on Victoria and saw this board says " Paintball "
( Alrite ! I did play paintball couple times ! but I am back to the Good side now )
I saw this surplus shop behind the "FIDO shop" ( such stupid location )
The shop was nice. It has lots tactical gear, paintball gun and airsoft guns.
It is small but well organized. The shop owner was quite nice.
price is ok !
Personally I like Daves Surplus more because it is bigger and it has more stuffs but the location of this new store is pretty good.
It is on Victoria and 51 behind the FIDO shop.
forgot the name sorry.

I've been trying my hardest NOT to write this but I believe the time has come. Though I do think its still possible, I have to be realistic. New York is not looking too good for this summer. School is out on Tuesday and I havent even bought a plane ticket yet. I HATE STATE TROOPERS. Sad I know but I have 4 unpaid parking tickets. 1 in St. Louis, 1 in Louisiana, 1 in Waller, and 1 in Houston.
The reason Im telling you this is because there might be hope. Im pretty sure Im not the only one with unpaid tickets sooo...
Until May 16th...(in tx) you are able to get 50% off your tickets thanks to the amnesty period. Either way its still a lot of money but at least it wont be as hard.

Just Like Mom
Digital Playground
Genre: Feature
The Extras
Director: Robby D.
Cast: Francesca Le, Erik Everhard, Riley Steele, Marcus London, Ava Addams, Scott Nails, Charley Chase, Manuel Ferrara
Length: 117:40 minutes
Riley Steele in the BTS (sweet!)
Date of Production: 7/16/2010
Extras: In terms of extras, the 8:40 minute long Behind the Scenes feature by Jamall Johnson (and edited by Vic Riprock) was the best for me. It was light, entertaining, and amusing enough to leave me wanting more. The inclusion of a standard DVD copy was nice too but I'm a Blu-ray fan thanks to the enhanced technical values, perhaps those who prefer one format might get with someone that likes the other to each get what they want. There was a photogallery and some trailers but that was all.
Condoms: None
Audio/Video Quality: Just Like Mom was presented in a very appealing 1.78:1 widescreen as shot by director Robby D. for Digital Playground. The movie package included both the standard definition DVD as well as the Blu-ray disc, each looking exceptionally sharp and clear though the high definition version was a really nice upgrade. It was edited by Nick P who did a great job of blending the feature elements with the sexual trysts. The audio was also clear in both cases, the difference less striking but the production sounded like the vocals, music, and ambient noises were all put together well enough, no one credited with this aspect of the movie as far as I could tell. For the record, if you have a blu-ray player (or PS3), forget about the standard definition version of the movie since it is very much a weaker visual experience, the added resolution certainly adding to the appeal enough to boost the rating a notch.
Francesca Le with Erik
-- sponsored by --
Body of Review: Robby D. is the dynamo director responsible for most works coming out of Digital Playground these days, his well oiled team always managing to squeeze every last drop out of small budgets. Such was the case with pleasing Just Like Mom, a showcase title proving sweet Riley Steele with another chance to wow her fans, the cute blond contrasted with a number of older, sexually more experienced ladies such as Francesca Le, Charley Chase, and Ava Addams. The back cover described the movie like this: "Pretty Riley Steele is a very jealous daughter, and her naughty mother Francesca Le, laps it up, knowing she's one hot piece of MILF ass. She reveals her wet passions for Riley's hung stud boyfriend, Erik Everhard, all while keeping her thick member man, Marcus London, under her naughty, perverted spell. It's a salacious battle of love and lust, as a horny mother must teach her hungry daughter how to satisfy her deepest desires." Here's a brief look at the scenes by cast and action, noting that no condoms were used for those still interested:
Rley Steele with Marcus
Scene One: Francesca Le, a foxy MILF built for speed over comfort, was up first when she walked in on Erik Everhard, the guy engaging in some panty sniffing in the bathroom. The naughty man was taken to task and Francesca understood his need to quench his thirst, her tight black skirt pressing firmly against her ass as she ran her hand on his pecker through his jeans. Within moments, he was pawing her ass, her red thong separating her sweet ass cheeks and her black top where her nipples popped out. They moved to the bed where he gobbled her gash and ass, Francesca inhaling his pecker aggressively in return. The two diddled each other and were soon fucking like horny teenagers in a variety of positions, her hairy box no impediment to his powerful thrusts that she pushed back to meet. Francesca was very vocal about her enjoyment here, Erik providing her with a wealth of population pudding to her mug to satiate her need for seed.
Ava Addams with Scott
Scene Two: Riley Steele, the attractive young blond featured on the front cover, was up next in bed with Marcus London, her shorts revealing her lack of panties as much as her dripping pussy in need of servicing. He walked over to her and kissed her, some boob play resulting in him going down on her shaven snatch. Riley made a lot of noise as he worked her over, the gal showing she had plenty to offer orally with an active blowjob using ample eye contact. Riley savoring a cock is always a good thing, the passive vaginal riding positions showing her slowly improve as she warmed up. This continued until the sweaty muscleman pulled out and jerked off a wad of genetic juice to her stomach.
Charley Chase with Manuel
Scene Three: Ava Addams, a busty brunette wearing a revealing blue top and short skirt, was up next with Scott Nails, her attire changed into some skimpy lingerie that did not last long enough to mention in detail. Scott loved her tits and rubbed her crotch while sucking on them, some chemistry noted between the couple as he worked his way down to savor the taste of her snatch. She then sucked him off and provided a titty fuck, her ball licking and jerking off of his shaft enhancing the moment substantially as she kept eye contact with the man. He then laid her down on the bed to vaginally fuck her like he owned her, his pecker driving deep inside her as she cried out in waves of pleasure. She was better in the cowgirl positions though since she was much more active at riding, her tits bouncing happily along as they bumped uglies. She did some taste testing and he finished up by tossing out a healthy nut of spunk all over her boobs, Ava enjoying the taste of his seed and massaging his fluids into her skin.
Riley Steele (nice!)
Scene Four: Charley Chase, a fetching brunette wearing a sheer top and booty shorts, was up next with Manuel Ferrara. They were all over each other on the large bed, hands roaming and mouths servicing one another to the delight of both of them. Her shorts came off to reveal a skimpy thong riding up her ass crack and puffy pussy, Manuel diving in to eat her as though she tasted like a wonderful meal. He dug for clams inside her pussy too, Charley positioning herself so he would stuff his face in her ass too, her brief blowjob leading to an active vaginal fuck where she was as loud as anyone else in the movie. The scene then showed her engaging in taste testing, some roughness, plenty more fucking and the sweat poured off the chemistry filled couple until their repeated oral led to a 69 where she drained his balls dry of splooge by her mouth and hand, savoring every last drop of the semen in what appeared to be her swallowing.
Scene Five: Riley Steele, wearing a blue top and loose white shorts, was up last with lovelorn Erik Everhard, her family having taught her all about how to embrace the inner slut needed to keep her man happy. They kissed romantically at length, some titty play leading to his spending some time eating her out. Riley was demure compared to her first scene, learning to make noise in a more believable fashion, her eye rolling and body language giving a distinctively more realistic approach by comparison. She liked the way he took care of her and she power stroked his pecker while sucking him off, her active vaginal riding much stronger from that point on and the two banged really well. There was some choking but otherwise this was a straightforward scene showing a pair of people into the action, Erik beating out a bunch of ball batter to her open mouth as she knelt before him and played with his semen running down her face (she should have swallowed).
Summary: Just Like Mom by director Robby D. for Digital Playground might not have broke any new ground sexually and might not be the "go to" title for couples seeking a little plotted inspiration to hook up, but it was certainly entertaining enough on multiple levels to suggest as Recommended (higher if you adore Riley Steele like many do). In short, Just Like Mom was another notch in the porn resume belt for both the lead and director, the other ladies including babes such as Francesca Le, Ava Addams, and Charley Chase, the team doing just fine yet again for the couples market niche.

HOLLYOAKS actor Ricky Whittle was told he will face trial for dangerous driving when he appeared before magistrates in Liverpool.
The Strictly Come Dancing runner-up is accused of deliberately driving at freelance photographer Steve Farrell in his Dodge Ram in Duke Street after leaving a party in the early hours of November 27 last year.
Whittle, who offered no plea, has indicated he will deny the allegation when he appears at Liverpool crown court on April 21 for a plea and case management hearing.
In a brief hearing today Whittle, 30, of Billinge, near St Helens, spoke only to confirm his name, address and date of birth.
He was granted unconditional bail.

I'm a huge CSI fan, I watch all three versions of it and the new seasons of CSI and CSI:NY have just started here, the only thing I miss is Grissom, it's not the same without him! Glee season 2 also just started and it was the Britney episode this week! I have loved Britney Spears forever and the episode didn't disappoint! And not forget Grey's Anatomy has just started back as well! So many good series all starting at once!
I've ordered a few things this week for some craft projects I've got in mind!
I also ordered these boots from Urban Outfitters after seeing Amber post them many times over on her blog and Anna Kendrick looking super cute in them(although I think Amber rocks them better)! Plus they went on sale for $29.99 and get an extra 10% with 'take10' making them just $26.99
