Monica wakes. It's cold, damp. She feels confined…trapped…alone, and doesn't know where she is or how she got there. Then panic sets in…clawing, feeling the dirt falling onto her face, Monica realizes she's been buried alive. Escape may not be easy, it may not even be possible. She tries to remember what happened, how she became trapped inside this box, who it was that did this to her, and then the truth becomes crystal clear. Soon they will learn, when you kill someone, you better make sure they're actually dead.
The links for Buried Alive are as follows-
Jeremy Simons lives with his wife and three young daughters in Grayson, Louisiana. He writes constantly in his spare time. His dream is to someday be able to write full-time.Jeremy has had stories appear with Carnage Conservatory Aphelion, Psychopomp, Voices from a Coma, The Horror Zine, Hellfire Crossroads Volume 4, Deathlehem Revisited, Short-Story.Me, Massacre Magazine, and three separate anthologies from Horrified Press (October's End, the X3 Anthology, and Midnight Ghosts). His novella (Buried Alive) and debut novel (Untold Tale) are both under contract with Celestial Waters Publishing and are available on Amazon, Smashwords, Barnes & Noble, and Books-A-Million.
Two small clips
Monica steadied her breathing, as best she could, and tried to ignore the dirt still trickling in, little by little. Her attention became focused on freeing her hands from their bounds. It would have been difficult before, but now with the dirt caving in atop them, it was damn near impossible.
She was losing her edge…losing control of the situation. She had known he might have a few tricks up his sleeve, seduction being the most obvious, but she hadn't expected being caught off-guard by it. And it wasn't just that, she was taken back by his sincerity. She had loved him once, still did; the possibility that he could talk himself out of whatever dastardly plan she had in store crossed her mind. She could not—would not—allow that.
Guest post
I loved writing this book for several different reasons. For one, it's loosely based on true events; it was fun to take something real and embellish it while keeping it an empowering story. Starting it was difficult, but it was interesting to try and pour my own emotion—my own fears and reservations—into trying to climb out of a grave.
This was also the first time I've ever really led with a female character, and going from victim to assailant is no easy feat. I only hope I did it justice.
Top ten favorites
Favorite Book: probably It by Stephen King.

First Amendment Library:
Rodney Smolla
This case arises out of two separate cross-burning incidents. In May 1998, two men Richard J. Elliott and Jonathan OMara burned a cross in the yard of James Jubilee, an African-American neighbor of Elliott. In August 1998, Barry Elton Black leads a Ku Klux Klan rally on private property with the consent of the owner. Black burns a cross at the rally, which frightens a neighbor of the property owner. Prosecutors charge all three men with violating Virginias cross-burning statute, which provides: It shall be unlawful for any person or persons, with the intent of intimidating any person or group of persons, to burn, or to cause to be burned, a cross on the property of another, a highway or other public place. Any person who shall violate any provision of this section shall be guilty of a Class 6 felony. All three men lose their criminal cases before the trial court. A jury convicts Elliott and Black in separate proceedings. OMara enters a conditional plea of guilty. This means he pleas guilty to the offense but reserves the right to challenge the constitutionality of the cross-burning law. The court of appeals affirms the convictions of the three men in two separate cases. The appeals court reasons that the statute only proscribes true threats, a category of expression not protected by the First Amendment. The appeals court also determines that the burning of the cross is a form of fighting words, another category of speech not protected by the First Amendment. On appeal, the Virginia Supreme Court consolidates, or combines, the two cases. In a 4-3 decision, the state supreme court reverses, finding the statute violates the First Amendment. The majority reasons that the statute regulates speech based on hostility to the underlying message of cross burning.READ MORE

Duration:15 minutes
|Double Columns of light in lawrenceville, ga
At approximately 1700 hrs on the evening of 9 November 2012, this person and his wife were exiting Sugarloaf Mills Mall when the two of them saw what appeared to be two very large columns of light side by side in the West/Northwestern sky. The lights appeared not to be reflections, but emanating from whatever the craft was itself. They looked perhaps like the fire one would see from a jet propulsion engine, but they were vertical rectangular/cylindrical in shape. No trail, as one would see with a con-trail from an airplane, was left.
The two witnesses thought perhaps it was the international space station, although it looked to be too large and too close to be so.
It drifted slowly from the West/Northwestern sky to the Northern sky as its distance became greater.
The two witnesses watched as the craft went between the clouds and the horizon, in front of the clouds, so the two witnesses realized it must not be anything too far in the sky. It appeared to be flaming, as a comet would.
As it drifted further away, the two witnesses conferred that it could still be seen at a distance of at least fifteen miles.

When she awoke each day in Mali, Oakland teacher Kathryn Parman took a bucket to the neighborhood spigot to fetch water for her shower. Then she sat with the community women and helped prepare food, an all-day affair in Mali.
Evenings, Parman, 31, tagged along with her host family's son as he performed his duties as a Griot, a traditional Malian musician and oral historian, at celebrations and parties.
Parman, who teaches Humanities to seventh- and eighth-graders at Oakland's Lighthouse Community Charter School, traveled to Mali and Ghana on a 2008 fellowship from Fund for Teachers, a nonprofit that sends teachers on self-designed summer sabbaticals around the globe.
"It was interesting to be in Africa," Parman said. "I was surprised at how comfortable I was there. I felt at home right away."
In March, Parman's students will study Africa, focusing in particular on the history of West African music and its influence on American music. They will study traditional African music through spirituals, blues, jazz and hip-hop, and learn how it came from Africa to Oakland.
Parman has been interested in African-American history since she was a college student at New York University's Gallatin School of Individualized Study and always dreamed of traveling to Africa. She heard about the FFT fellowship from Lighthouse science and math teachers Megan Jensen and Robert Feldstein, who won a fellowship in 2007. They traveled to the Galapagos Islands to study science and urged Parman to apply last year.
Parman knew Africa was her destination.
She had a friend from Mali and his family invited her to visit with them in Bamako. The family has passed down traditional Griot music and storytelling skills for many generations. Parman said living with them gave her a firsthand look at traditional Malian life.
"There is a real sense of community and it's organic and it's natural and it's necessary," Parman said. "It's really inspiring to see a different way of structuring your society that values community."
She noted that "coming from a very individualistic society and going to a place like Mali where people are 100 percent dependent on one another (one notices) they have very tight-knit communities and everybody knows everybody."
Creating a safe, tight-knit community is also a focus at Lighthouse Community Charter School, where about 80 percent of the students come from families that have severe financial challenges and 73 percent are English language learners.
In addition to academics, the students participate in an advisory "crew," a group of 12 to 14 students plus an adviser, to practice community- and character-building skills and work on their guiding principles.
"Nothing will happen until we look at what makes people successful in groups. These kids are coming from Oakland, and that has its challenges. Some kids lack a stable, safe environment. So we need to create that safe environment here before we can do academic work," Parman said.
Along with the broader study of Africa, Parman's students also will study the African slave trade and look at people's historic resistance to slavery.
Fund for Teachers enables teachers like Parman to enhance their teaching skills through the sabbatical program.
"Most good teachers become administrators eventually," said Karen Kovach, executive director of FFT. "Our goal is to help good teachers stay inspired. We want to keep these teachers in the classroom." She said FFT is trying to bridge the disconnect between the people with the money and those who need it, and going local is the only way to make that happen.
FFT fellows are chosen with help from local partners, in this case Oakland's Marcus A. Foster Education Institute.
Leo Lamanna of MAFEI said that one-third of the selection panel is made up of former fellows, with the remainder being school administrators, community members and MAFEI donors. He said Fund for Teachers awarded 18 fellowships to Oakland teachers in 2008.
"Teaching can be a pretty thankless thing," Parman said, "and if someone wants to give money to teachers, I am willing to take that money. If I go and have this experience and bring it to my students, that's pretty powerful."
The hardest thing about her job, said Parman, is keeping her life balanced. She helps create the curriculum for her classes as well as teaching, often putting in 60 to 70 hour weeks. She knows she can't keep it up forever, so she hopes to create a system that is easier to follow when she's no longer there.
To Parman, the most rewarding thing about being a teacher is "those 'aha!' moments, where they get something they didn't get before. It's great to see them gain confidence and buy into the possibilities that they have in life."

>>My conclusion: The battle field is life, we run through it, not to
>>win for the Lord, but to obey in the Lord.
>I can't argue with that!
I don't see the issue as being whether we win or lose, so much as whether
we are privileged to _see_ the victory (or what our action is to
accomplish). When we obey God, we may not see any good that comes from our
action, but I don't believe God commands us to do something without a
purpose. We Calvinists are -- sometimes -- fond of saying that we engage
in evangelism because God tells us to. And indeed we do. But God has also
assured us that His word won't return void. So, even though we may not
_see_ the results of our evangelism, we can be assured that it is
accomplishing God's good purpose.

Submit your story logline and showcase it on this network. Or, submit to get your story made into a Video Pitch
Brevity is an absolute necessity of creating a good logline. You should go through many drafts to make sure every adjective is the most perfect and evocative and above all accurate. Get out your thesaurus find the best words for the job. You can't afford a single extra character.
Choose your focus carefully. You need to pinpoint the most important through-line of your story. What you pick must be dynamic: you need to describe action, conflict, challenge.
The easiest way to phrase your logline is to state the genre, an attribute of the main character, and what the character needs to achieve to meet a challenge. Of course, you may see your script as a slice of life or a series of vignettes or something else that doesn't lend itself to a clear statement in this form, but attempt it.

In Sunday's Gospel reading from St. Mark Jesus begins to call his Apostles to a life of ministry with him. He walks along the shore of the Sea of Galilee, a large lake both fed and drained by the Jordan River, where a large fishing industry was carried on in the time of Jesus. Jesus would have come upon many fishermen during his walk, and he singles out Simon (later called Peter) and his brother Andrew. He invites them to leave their nets and follow him. He does the same with James and John, the two sons of Zebedee, who are working with their father. The Scripture says that they too left their father and the hired men and followed Jesus.
In order to understand the seriousness of these men to follow Jesus it is necessary to consider the importance of the fishing industry in His time. Fish were a major source of protein and, along with bread, were staple foods of much of the population of the area. Much of the fish was also dried in salt and exported to places as far away as Rome, where dried fish from Galilee was considered a delicacy. Archeological digs at Bethsaida, a town on the northeastern shore of the Sea of Galilee, have unearthed numerous fishing items, as well as evidence that it was actually a place where fishing equipment was manufactured. At Bethsaida, the government of King Herod sold fishing rights to wealthy merchants, who in turn sold these rights to other fishermen, charging them a heavy tax for the right to carry on their trade. It seems that some of these created family fishing businesses that required the hiring of workers. This seems to be the case of Zebedee, the father of James and John in today's Gospel reading. It says that James and John left their father and the hired men and followed Jesus.

"Walk the Turtle" 3/13/2017
We pace ourselves toward many challenges we know we must face in life, each of us has our own unique way of dealing with the obstacles inside our mind, a soul knows faith is the key.
To become aware and determined to reach the destination of self-discipline, practice love and compassion for yourself and become humble to your creator for the gift to live and breathe.
To let go of old ways and mindsets, to gain the courage to not allow the negative influences to lead you into temptations, to give yourself time to heal and transform with grace spiritually.
Emotions in motion along with constant changes and struggles each day are the elements of eventual renewal of character, being alone in solitude plays an important role toward peace.
Walk the turtle with admiration for your spirit, become one with your mind, body, and soul; remind yourself many doors will open and close in life, be brave to open the door of freedom.

Brasslands Uniting Cultures Through Music
A vibrant ethnography of the cultures, lives and stories that collide in the Balkans at the world's largest brass band festival.
Brasslands explores the explosive recent popularity of Balkan brass music through the stories of three musicians whose lives revolve around playing the music for very different reasons: a Serbian trumpet master, a virtuosic Roma street musician, and a dedicated American who isn't from the Balkans but has been playing this music in New York for the last 30 years. Their stories all converge at the 50th anniversary of the world's biggest trumpet competition in a hidden valley in Serbia.
Created by a unique interdisciplinary filmmaking team of Americans, Serbians, musicians and ethnomusicologists, the film offers an unconventional and unique window into ethnomusicology and Balkan culture.
Recommended by educators as an excellent teaching tool for courses in: Anthropology, Balkan Studies, Ethnomusicology, Ethnic Studies, Filmmaking, International Relations, Media Studies, Music, Musicology, Romani Studies, Slavic & Eastern European Studies.

The actress and her hubby dined at Antica Pesa in Williamsburg with about eight other friends
Talk about a delicious opening act.
Before going to see Paul McCartney perform his first show in Brooklyn at the Barclays Center on Saturday night, Julianne Moore and husband Bart Freundlich grabbed a bite at Antica Pesa in Williamsburg. Joining them for dinner: designer Rachel Roy and about seven other friends.
The casually dressed group arrived for dinner around 7 p.m., and they enjoyed dishes such as prosciutto and mozzarella, salmon tartare, cacio e pepe pasta (pasta with cheese and pepper) – as well as some lamb. The group also paired their meal with wine.
And before catching the former Beatle perform, Moore and Roy were spotted snapping pictures with Antica Pesa's owner, Francesco Panella, on their way out the door.

E X N I H I L O is the latest album from Autralian music producer Guerre. It's a series of tribal, spacey beats that feel as grey and dismal as the album art itself. There are some quiet, tattered, and distant vocals running throughout this thing, too, which brings a really eerie feel to the table that I like.
"Mood music" fans take notice on this one! Enjoy!

The second of my summer running books was Scott Jurek's Eat & Run. Once again, the author successfully managed to motivate me to make a change in my life. Eat & Run challenged me to rethink my approach to eating and running. Jurek highlights his success in transforming his diet and mindset to take better care of himself mentally and physically and subsequently improve his performance.
Throughout Eat & Run the author describes the circumstances of his life and how he came to achieve the unparalleled success as an ultra marathoner through becoming a vegan and overcoming the mental challenges he faces as an ultra runner. In spite of routinely accomplishing super human feats by running 100-miles in a race as if it was a walk in the park, Jurek shows that he is human after all. Throughout the book, he describes the sad but courageous fight his mother had with MS and the impact that her life had on his. He also recounts the lasting lessons his strict and unwavering father taught him, like "Sometimes you just do things!".
I was surprised how Jurek, one of the most decorated long distance runners, has the same thoughts I do when I run my mortal 6-miles in the morning. Scott does a great job speaking to the reader no matter if they are new to running or an experienced marathoner.
Again, the greatest compliment I can give the author is that because of his book, I was motivated to improve my diet. Eat & Run does not preach my way or the highway…merely that these techniques work for me and maybe some of them can work for you. Scott also peppers the book with some of his favorite vegan recipes and some training words of wisdom that all runners should heed.

Increasingly, the double
donor technique for hematopoietic
stem cells transplant is replacing
the single
donor approach. In most cases,
physicians use the double donor approach
because it helps with the because
of the stem cells in the recipient.
Usually, this is accomplished with
an initial transplant of bone marrow
along with either cord blood or peripheral
blood stem cells. There is also the
potential for the initial transplant
to fail; a second donor will decrease
the chances of failed engraftment
or disease
relapse. In either case, the recipient
has a chimera
of three different genotypes.
Theoretically, one of the donors and
the recipient stem cells will begin
to disappear, while the other donor
cells engraft disappear, within the
host. ChimerMarker® software solves
the technical challenges for chimerism
monitoring of a double donor transplant
by accurately identifying peak origins
and quantifying the amount of Donor/Recipient
chimerism with many shared alleles
(Fig1). ChimerMarker software tackles
these technical challenges by applying
a Chimertyping
panel to each sample for automatic
peak identification (Fig1) and accurate
calling algorithms; quantifying
the amount of donor/recipient chimerism
in one step.
Figure 1: Each allele
in the Post-BMT of the recipient is
automatically identified and displayed
by the BMT software. Loci labeled
in red were selected by the user to
be ignored in the calculations or
recognized by the software to be uninformative.
The header provides electronic verification
of date and time, user electronic
identification and analysis parameters
for complete record keeping.
Figure 2: The second
page of each double donor report displays
deconvolution of Donor 1 and Donor

Finding your passion isn't as easy as celebrities suggest it is.
As you move along the journey of life, you realize that everyone who is giving you advice knows what is best for them. {That's why they don't eat salt, don't have credit cards, and don't have pets. Whatever their issues are, don't make them yours!} There is a good change that many of you didn't wake up one day dreaming of becoming an accountants, marketers, or teachers. Heck, I'd be willing to say that some of you didn't want to attend college, but did it because that's what you do.
So, you keep on keeping on until you simply can't do it any longer. You feel like life is being sucked right out of you each time you dress for work. Sundays are filled with anxiety of what Monday could bring. How can you go to work for five consecutive days without making yourself crazy? Maybe you're lucky enough to be hit with a layoff {like me!} or a relocation for a partner's career. Or maybe, the boss sees the writing on the wall and fires you for lack of performance. Either way, it's finally over.
Now that it's over, what happens next?
A lot of nothing. If you're not planning your exit from your career {like me!}, then you're not prepared for what to do next.
After my layoff, I wasn't sure what I would do. But I knew that it wasn't going to involve working for someone else. After being home for a few weeks, I started writing this blog. I had no idea at the time, that it would turn into something that I feel so passionate about. Who knew that buying a simple domain would be the gateway to so much laughter, fun, and tears {yes, there IS crying in blogging!}?
Building a business is not for the faint of heart. There is no money to be made right away {sorry!}. There is no team of people to help you do the things you don't like {anyone want to track my expenses?!}, you're on your own.
And it is hard.
But it is worth it.
I've always been a lover of letters, words, books, reading, and writing. Looking back on things, it's no surprise that my passion for these things would lead me to the business of writing and creating handpainted typography signs.
When your passion found you, did you recognize it right away? Are you still searching for your passion?

I have a bunch of blog posts I'm supposed to write. I keep a list in my phone when I think of something I should write a blog about, and now I have a pile of them and not enough time to catch up. You know what I do when that happens? I just cover them all in a list! Let's take care of that.
1. Write a blog post covering great poker fiction.
Two great ones come to mind. The Incrementalists by Steven Brust and Last Call by Tim Powers. Both are fantastic and feature a lot of poker. I promise that I am not biased about The Incrementalists just because my book is mentioned in this book and Steve Brust is a good friend of mine. It's a great book. Both of them are. Read them.
2. Write a blog post covering buying action.
Quick and dirty version – Don't invest any significant sum of money in someone unless you either know them well and have known them for a long time, or they have been around a long time in the poker world and have a perfect reputation. People need to get started somewhere, but stick with very small sums and for very short periods of time. Many Minnesota players have learned this lesson recently when Chad "Spachy" Himmelspach was outed for taking money from investors and never playing the events that he had scheduled. This is not the first time this has happened, so don't invest in players you don't know unless they have a stellar reputation.
3. Write a blog covering winter stuff.
Winter stuff? Yeah, got that covered. There is nowhere better to get sick than in a card room. It's the perfect breeding ground for colds and the flu. Go get a flu shot right now, use hand sanitizer, and keep your hands away from your face when you are at the table. And if you are sick, do not come to the card room. We don't all need to get sick! Also, check the weather for the whole night before you leave for the card room so you don't get stuck there waiting for the highways to be plowed. I speak from experience on this one, it sucks.
4. Talk about The Borgata.
Oh yeah, did I mention that The Borgata is awesome? The WPT event and tournament series last month were great, and the event they ran in conjunction with Pocket Fives was also great, and they were really good to us. If you head to the East coast, it is the premier poker destination and the poker room, the restaurants, and the hotel rooms are all top notch.
That was easy. I got four big ones off the list in a single blog post. Easy game. Maybe I'll do four more in a few days. I'm so busy with my writing gig at Poker Update that I just don't have much time to write here. You can check out all of my articles over at Poker Update at The Fox's Den.If you enjoyed this blog, please support it by buying my book or joining a fantasy sports sites through my links

A Simple Plan For Investigating Clues
Methods for Making Scrounger Chase Effectively for Kids
Scrounger chase for youngsters is a movement for an extraordinary blustery day or one to influence the kids to go out and running outside. Now and again it is difficult to start the way toward conceptualizing and making the hunt.
Decide the age of the children that you are making the chase for. Is it accurate to say that they are excessively youthful, making it impossible to read. Consider influencing pictures for the scrounger to chase. Is it accurate to say that they are adolescents. Consider having more troublesome pieces of information and a more drawn out rundown as their capacity to focus will be longer.
The size of the group should be determined. Is this chase for your own children. A person will have to make up one or two lists or hide one or two of the items. Is this for an extensive classroom-estimate gathering. Think about the part the gathering into groups. A person will definitely need to make more lists and have more items to hide.
Assurance of the area of the chase is the following thing. Will it be outside in a recreation center or around the house or on the other hand will it be a street trip diversion that you play in the auto. This will enable a man in narrowing down the scrounger to chase pieces of information and get dialed on the sorts of things that a man needs the youngsters to chase for. This can be Easter egg scrounger chase clues.
Make decisions on how a person wants to present the scavenger hunt for children. A person can have a simple checklist of items which they must find and bring back. You can provide them one insight and from that point, they discover another sign, which drives them to another piece of information in a dynamic design. A man can pick methods for making forager chase puzzles. You can get out from a rundown of things and the first to convey it to you gets a point, and so on.
Determine the time limit for a scavenger hunt. This is an important thing. Kids who are younger do not have as long on of an attention span and the time the person needs the hunt to end and still having fun and needing more. Children who are more seasoned, then again, can continue onward and a few rules need to exist and when time closes they should accumulate back together.
Start by conceptualizing the scrounger chase list. Include items that are easy, some clues that are hard and have many of the kids be average on the scale of difficulty. This is the fun part. A person needs to be creative. A person should look around themselves and in the location of the hunt to find the things that are hard to spy and the ones that will have the kids moving around in a place thus using their energy in a way that positive and fun.
Lessons Learned from Years with Clues

Tooth Fairy Pillows
While nobody in our house may be losing any teeth just yet, I'm sure that day will be here before we know it, as crazy as that sounds! One of my latest creations is just for that momentous occasion - tooth fairy pillows! I had a request to give some a whirl so I churned out a handful that are now available at Dwelling Spaces! I made sure to make them super kid friendly so when they're not housing teeth, they can be used as play things. I also made sure to make the pockets large and loose enough for both kid hands and adult hands! Finally, I put a little hanger on each pillow so when the Tooth Fairy does need to visit, the pillow can be hung by the little's bed so no one forgets the prize! I don't have any available in the shop right now BUT can if there is an interest and I'll gladly take custom orders for them as well! Just say the word :)
Let's get to losing some teeth! :)

Writer/director Graham Reznick sent Fango the new poster for his debut feature I CAN SEE YOU, with the news that the movie will have a special screening Sunday, January 6 at 4:45 p.m. at New York Citys Two Boots Pioneer Theater (155 East 3rd Street and Avenue A).
A production of Larry Fessendens ScareFlix, for which Reznick did sound design on THE ROOST, TRIGGER MAN and AUTOMATONS, I CAN SEE YOU centers on three advertising guys (played by Ben Dickinson, Duncan Skiles and Chris Ford) who go to a remote company retreat to plan a new campaign for a cleaning product called ClarActix. Theyre soon distracted by a temptress named Summer, played by TRIGGER MANs Heather Robb, and confronted by long-lost ClarActix pitchman Mickey Hauser, portrayed by Fessenden himself, and surreal, psychedelic terror ensues. Seating for the screening will be limited, so arrive early!

Invest in America Makes Credit Union-friendly Enhancements to GM Program
The Invest in America Credit Union Member Discount program from GM has been enhanced to drive more loans to your credit union. Some actions GM has taken through the Invest in America Program to drive auto loans to credit unions:
GM has a credit union loan link in two places on its microsite to drive members back to their credit union to secure financing.
GM provides credit unions with member authorization requests weekly, including member contact information, to enable credit unions to follow up with members at the bottom of the purchase funnel to secure financing.
The Credit Union Member Discount from GM is no longer compatible with subvented rates. Rates such as 0%, 1.9%, 2.9%, etc. that have been bought down and offered through captive finance sources may not be used in conjunction with the Credit Union Member Discount from GM. In turn, members will be encouraged to use low-rate credit union financing in conjunction with cash incentives which will result in very competitive monthly payments.
For more information about Invest in America, plan to attend a webinar on May 9 or May 23. If you are interested and would like to join the conversation, please e-mail your name, credit union name and state name to Invest in America by the Monday prior to the webinar date.

GAINESVILLE, Fla. -- If Steve Spurrier decides to coach
again, it won't be at his alma mater.
Spurrier withdrew his name from consideration Thursday to
replace Ron Zook, saying his time at Florida has passed.
The announcement relieves any reservations boosters and school
officials had regarding Spurrier's potential return. It also opens
up a coaching search that was widely considered Spurrier's to lose.
"He said he's done his thing here and he just thinks it's
better for us to go find a coach who will be here for the next 10
or 15 years," athletic director Jeremy Foley said.
The Gators won six Southeastern Conference championships and the
1996 national title under Spurrier. He posted 122 victories over 12
seasons, tormented opponents with his offensive flair and witty
one-liners, and left town with the best winning percentage in
league history.
Zook, hired in 2002 after Spurrier left to coach the Washington
Redskins, was fired last week after the latest in a series of
embarrassing losses -- a 38-31 defeat by lowly Mississippi State.
Spurrier quit the Redskins after two losing seasons, and
indicated last week he would consider a return to Gainesville.
Foley and Spurrier exchanged several phone messages, trying to
set up an interview with school president Bernie Machen after the
"They were obviously making an effort to meet with me,"
Spurrier said in a statement.
But Spurrier's latest message ended all speculation about his
"When I departed three years ago, there were several reasons
why I believed it was time to move on," Spurrier said. "Other
than simply wanting to coach in the NFL someday, I also believed
that 12 years at Florida was probably long enough. Many people in
football believe that around 10-12 years in the same job is about
the maximum time a coach should stay."
There had been concerns among some of the school's top boosters
that Spurrier's return would be a step back and eventually would
leave the program in another tough situation -- trying to replace a
They felt Spurrier would never be able to regain the glory of
the 1990s, and they openly questioned his desire to recruit and his
motivation for returning.
Some also were still upset over the way Spurrier left Florida:
calling Foley from his beach house and dropping the news in the
middle of the recruiting season.
Nonetheless, they knew there was a chance Spurrier's return
would restore credibility and championships to the program.
Now, that task will fall to someone else.
Oklahoma's Bob Stoops, Utah's Urban Meyer and Cal's Jeff Tedford
are considered other possible candidates.
Stoops, who spent three seasons as Spurrier's defensive
coordinator at Florida, has repeatedly denied any interest in the
Gators job. But Stoops might reconsider with his old boss out of
the mix.
Machen hired Meyer at Utah in December 2002, and Meyer's diverse
offense would be welcomed in Gainesville after Zook failed with his
NFL-style approach. But Meyer has no ties to Florida, which would
make recruiting tough.
Tedford has spent his entire career on the West Coast, but he
could be the perfect blend between Spurrier and Zook. His
quarterback-tailored system has turned Cal into one of the top
offenses in the nation, and his recruiting efforts match anyone
else's in the country.
Florida wants to have a coach in place by mid-December -- after a
full-blown search-and-interview process -- and the only thing that
seems certain is it won't be Spurrier.
Some close to the 59-year-old coach say he doesn't want his
career to end on a losing note and predict he will give the NFL
another shot. It could come soon.
With Thursday's announcement there was almost immediate talk
that Spurrier would end up in Miami with the Dolphins -- even though
Dave Wannstedt has not been fired.
"I have not been offered any coaching job by any team, and I'm
not searching for one," Spurrier said.

REVIEW: 'The Toxic Avenger' will truly entertain and the cast talent saves the day
Review by Shelli Park
Photos by Michael Brunk
'The Toxic Avenger' is not for the faint of heart, the sensitive or the weak of stomach – it is a bawdy, action-packed musical about the little guy who becomes a hero.
Burien Actors Theatre begins this season with a show based on the 80's-era film of the same name. It appeals to the everyman longing for love and justice. The Toxic Avenger, written by David Bryan and Joe Pietro, is directed for BAT by Mark "Moc" Moser.
I needed a bit of reference before writing this review so I watched the trailer for the original film. The show makes a lot more sense to me now. Here is the link for the trailer:
There is a lot of great talent in this production. Every actor, except the main character, tackles multiple roles.
The inimitable Britt Boyd takes on a nun, the bad guy (Mayor Babs) and the mother of the Toxic Avenger. She is a joy to watch as she commands the stage and moves seamlessly between roles. A showdown between two of her characters is a tour de force and hilarious as the whole scene devolves into a personality crisis witnessed by an wonderstruck cast.
Not any less amazing is Rico Lastrapes who takes on 16 different roles, including four very convincing female characters. He is a talented actor and fun to watch. Lastrapes has a natural physicality and confident manner which creates character believability.
Lance Zielinski – The Toxic Avenger – is the center of the show. Zielinski grabs our hearts and sympathy as the underdog, Melvin Ferd, who is brutally bullied, terrifyingly transformed, but triumphs and saves the day. He has a wonderful voice and a great range of emotion.
The love interest of The Toxic Avenger, Sarah, the blind librarian, is played by Kyla Roberts. Roberts transforms into a true Jersey girl. She is a great foil to the Avenger. As Sarah, Roberts is saccharin sweet, a little superficial, but with a truly good heart. Roberts' voice is lovely. Zielinski and Roberts create an oasis in the production.
John Williams Lynch is very entertaining as a whole slew of characters, often in coordination with Lastrapes. He is also the fight choreographer for the myriad action scenes.
Albie Clemente does it again! Clemente creates a wonderfully toxic, urban setting with great flexibility to create the many settings called for in the story. Sam Sneke, local artist and Art Alley curator, puts the frosting on the toxic cake. Sneke's painting creates a seriously authentic 80's era street scene.
And then there is the band, led by Paul Linnes. They are set above the action, at times participating in the action, adding a great dimension to the production. Listen for familiar 80's tunes transformed to carry story.
I don't normally mention the stagehands (Kyle Clausen and Alex Tyler) but they were a wonderful, integral part of this production, and did a great job with all of the set complications.
The Toxic Avenger will truly entertain and the cast talent saves the day.
Remaining show dates and times:

Adult Acne Myth #3 Hormones Cause Blind Pimples.
Ever wondered what that swollen, sore, red bump lurking around your face is? It's most probably a blind pimple.
Why is it 'blind', you ask? This type of pimple is a sign of inflammation around a hair follicle, which has not yet become filled with excessive pus and turned into a whitehead.
Generally, blind pimples are more painful than your average breakout; this is because they tend to sit much deeper than whiteheads, making them a lot more sensitive than usual.
What causes blind pimples?
Unfortunately, there is no definitive cause of blind pimples. They are generally caused by the same triggers as other pimples, including:
- Poor diet
- Thick, heavy, waxy makeup which clogs the pores.
- Stress
- Poor quality skincare causing irritation to your skin.
- Hormonal imbalances
How to treat blind pimples
When you find a blind pimple – it is important to help clear away the build of bacteria and to calm the inflammation that has been caused. In order to do so, you should consider using cosmeceutical-grade serums like our You By Sia Vanish AM or Vanish PM. Look for products (like our serums) that contain Vitamin A as this controls and normalises over active sebaceous glands. Antibacterial ingredients such as tea tree and white tea extract will also help with anti-inflammation. On top of a daily serum, a gentle resurfacing mask such as Erase will help to remove excess oil and congestion. The complex mix of botanical and mineral rich ingredients in our cosmeceuticals will help nourish and balance your skin, preventing future breakouts.
If you need an extra hand fighting blind pimples or other breakouts, our Inside Out Peel may be a treatment option to consider. This treatment gently prompts collagen and elastin production, helping to regenerate and resurface the skin for a clearer complexion. It's also much gentler than traditional chemical peels, so you won't have to deal with the same amount of discomfort or downtime.
For further information on our Cosmeceutical-Grade Skincare or Inside Out Peels at You By Sia, contact one of our six clinics based in Sydney CBD, Burwood, Parramatta, St.Ives, Bondi Junction & Castle Hill.

It is understood that the Serie A side are looking to offload the Guinean ace, who has been a bit part player at the San Siro.
Although he is a midfielder by trade, the 26-year-old has often filled in at left-back for Milan, and is known for his ability to operate well in a number of roles.
With his club willing to sell for around £3m, Tim Sherwood is tempted to launch a move in the next transfer window.
The Spurs chief is keen to bolster his squad at the next opportunity, and sees Constant as a potentially valuable addition.
A number of other clubs are also interested, including Everton and Borussia Dortmund.
Constant has been lauded for his athleticism and power, which could be two vital characteristics in the Premier League.
Tottenham's hopes of landing the payer may be dependent on their ability to finish in the top four, with the player likely to be keen on playing Champions League football.

What is the reality concerning kids today?
Kids today (2009) are affected by the "emo" culture or a culture
of insecurity and feeling of unworthiness. They are also more mature than
their age. They are individualistic - not eager to interact with other kids.
Kids are stressed! Affected by media, peers, etc. They are not afraid of authority
- they do and try anything that they want. Kids today have no good role models.
And there are no more kid friendly shows on TV. And above all that, they have
less time with parents and almost no family time.
What is CFC Kids for Family and Life (CFC-KFL)?
CFC-KFL is a young ministry of Couples for Christ Foundation for Family and
Life (CFC-FFL). Members are aged 0 - 12 years old.
What is the Vision of CFC-KFL?
CFC KFL will bring out the BEST in Kids!
CFC KFL will be a venue to form Strong Christian Families by having parents who are involved with their kids and having kids who are part of the life of the Church!
CFC KFL will bring kids into a deeper relationship with Christ because NO ONE is too young to know Christ!
What does CFC-KFL believe?
¦Children have a special place in God's heart (Mt 18: 1 - 6;
¦Children can grow in their love for and trust in God through a personal relationship with Jesus Christ (Eph 6: 4).
¦The pre-teen stage of a child's life is crucial as it is part of his formative years.
¦Children need a positive concept of themselves.
¦Children's God-given talents need to be recognized and nurtured in a healthy Christian environment that is fun-loving and life giving.
¦Children may play a significant role in the life and mission of the church (1 Tim 4: 12).
¦Christian Family renewal can best be achieved if all the members of the family have accepted Jesus as the center of their home - including the children (Jos 24: 15).
What does CFC-KFL aim to do?
¦Help the children enjoy a relationship with Jesus Christ in an environment
that is fun and life-giving through scripture, worship, education, service
and in fellowship with their friends.
¦Create an atmosphere where Christian values can be shared, practiced, supported, developed, experienced and more importantly reinforced in the home.
¦Conduct spiritual training for the children that will be reinforced in the home, thus conduct training for the parents as well so that CFC-KFL and the parents can work hand in hand in their spiritual nourishment.
What are the 3 support environments for CFC-KFL?
¦TODDLERS / Infants / Babies (0 to 4 years old)
¦JUNIOR KIDS / Tots / Children (5 to 8 years old)
¦SENIOR KIDS Tweens / Pre-Adolescent (9 to 12 years old)
What is the CFC-KFL Purpose?
¦Worship - "Love God with all your heart"
¦Ministry - "Love your neighbor as yourself"
¦Evangelism - "Go and make disciples"
¦Fellowship - "Baptizing them"
¦Discipleship - "Teaching them to obey"
They will be easier to remember using the acronym HEART:
Honor (Worship)
Education/Empower (Discipleship)
Act (Ministry)
Relate (Fellowship)
Testify (Evangelism)
Thus ...
The CFC-KFL Purpose Statement
CFC KFL exists to provide an environment for Kids to HONOR Jesus and Mama Mary by living like them, to EMPOWER them to ACT in humble service, to encourage them to RELATE in joy with their family, friends and the Church and to TESTIFY to God's love.
Who are involved with CFC-KFL?
¦The Parents
Parents are at the forefront of our work with the kids. Whatever is taught at home is reinforced in CFC KFL. And without the commitment and support of the parents, CFC KFL will not be able to penetrate the kids completely especially in their faith and personal relationship with Christ!
¦The CFC-KFL Workers
Coordinators, Fulltime workers, Kids Ministry Servants / Ate / Kuyas, Mission Volunteer
What is the entry point to CFC-KFL?
There are 2 Entry Points to CFC KFL, depending upon the age of the kid. For those 9 - 12 years old, there is the Senior Kids Camp. And for those 5 to 8 years old, there is the Junior Kids Day (those below 5 are encouraged to attend, though informally). There are manuals for the respective Entry Points.

Trump storm hits stocks again but dollar steadies
Swirling uncertainty over U.S. President Donald Trump's political future saw world stocks extend their steepest fall in over six months on Thursday, though there were signs of stabilisation elsewhere as the dollar and gold steadied. Sonia Legg reports.
More than 24-hours after markets started their u-turn they were still going in the wrong direction. European shares hit a two week low in Thursday morning trade, with key indexes dropping up to one and half percent. That followed Asia's worst day in eight months. And the cause had little to do with either region. (SOUNDBITE) (English) CCLA, CHIEF INVESTMENT OFFICER, JAMES BEVAN, SAYING: "This is certainly the first time since the US presidential election that there's been even a whiff of real concern that Mr. Trump will not deliver on the critical challenge of cutting taxes and deregulating. And of course in terms of corporate earnings per share, the S&P 500 is essentially expected to achieve 150 dollars per market point for 2018, that would fall all the way back to around 135. So if those tax cuts don't come it is a huge issue for the market." Reports that Trump had tried to intervene in an investigation into alleged Russian interference in last year's U.S. election. And that his aides had numerous undisclosed contacts with Russian officials kept market tensions high. (SOUNDBITE) (English) CCLA, CHIEF INVESTMENT OFFICER, JAMES BEVAN, SAYING: "We should be worried in so far as it is correct that Mr. Trump's tenure in the White House may be limited or constrained or his capacity to get stuff done is limited. Then the agenda of tax cuts and regulatory reform will be obviously in doubt." The dollar steadied, pulling out of a dive that had taken it to its lowest level in six months against other top currencies. Another troubled currency - was the Brazilian real. It fell 1.2 percent in local markets after Brazilian President Michel Temer was linked to the country's biggest-ever graft probe

(ESP) Diseño de dos personajes opuestos en aspecto y personalidad.
(EUS) Itxuraz nahiz izaeraz aurkako diren bi pertsonaien diseinua.
Hahaha, I love these guys, Dei!
mhmmm...I love the angel character...is more expressive and too funny to animate...
but the devil...it's similar to your old character...the face is too big...
Thanks for the comments! You're totally right Mauro.. I Actually used the same facial features from "Vondeskau" to design the Demon Character. About the size of his head, I hope it looks better next to the angel (in scale), cause the Angles is about 3 times bigger than the demon.
Thanks Again.
These are really, nice and made an even bigger impression on me when i saw them moving on monday! Great walk and run cycle!
It was hilarious and so well animated! Great job! :D

Walking and Hiking in the Anti-Atlas
The Anti-Atlas mountains are a paradise for adventurous hill-walkers or trekkers, who can enjoy the region's stunning scenery and ancient villages from the network of Berber trails which criss-cross this rugged landscape. The huge potential of the area has not yet been fully developed, and Tafraout remains very much "off the beaten track" for tourists passing through Morocco. It does, however, have a rural charm and character that set it aside from the more popular trekking regions of the High Atlas, and holidays here will suit those who like a touch of adventure in their trip.
The Hotel Les Amandiers in Tafraout provides an ideal base for those wishing to explore the region. This superb 4-star hotel offers comfortable western luxury, favourable rates, and immaculate cleanliness, with excellent views across Tafraout and the Jebel el Kest Massif. More details can be found on our accommodation page.
There are no guidebooks at present, and maps can be very difficult to obtain... but this situation is slowly improving. The climbers' guidebook to the Ameln Valley (Climbing in the Moroccan Anti-Atlas by Claude Davies and Cicerone Press) contains some information for walkers including some recommended routes, though these are not described in much detail. A guidebook to the best walks in the Anti-Atlas is on the horizon, but won't be available for some time.
Many visitors to Tafraout will want to make use of local guides in order to explore the area, and these can easily be arranged on arrival in Tafraout. Hiring guides is the best option for those wishing to travel further afield, as jeep transport, pick-ups and visits or accommodation in local villages will all be arranged by the company. For local itineraries and custom treks in the Anti-Atlas, Trekking Tafraout are highly recommended.
some Recommended walks
Below are a suggestion of some walks that give a good introduction to the area:
Jebel el Kest
At 2359m above sea level, the main summit of Jebel el Kest is the highest peak in the Tafraout region, and its ascent is a popular challenge for enthusiastic hill-walkers. There are many options for ascent, although the two popular routes from the south side see almost all of the traffic. These are made either via Anergui (possible in one long day), or via Tagdicht, usually with an overnight stop. Both of these routes involve a large height-gain and some strenuous walking over rough terrain, for which maps are not readily available. It is usually to make the ascent in the company of a local guide, who can also arrange for overnight accommodation. For more information, see our new Jebel el Kest page.
A handy A4 map, showing the summit detail at 1:25k scale, as well as an overview of the whole range, is available in our Guidebook and Download Store
Adrar Mqorn
Meaning 'Big Mountain', Adrar Mgorn (or sometimes Mquorn) stands isolated some 8km to the south of Tafraoute and is another challenging objective for the hill-walker. Brief details of the ascent can be found in the Cicerone book "Climbing in the Moroccan Anti-Atlas".
The ascent of Adrar Mqorn is shown on OAC MiniMap Sheet 4
Adrar Idekel
This comparatively short walk has a lot to offer, and is one of the better short-day walks to be had around Tafraout. Adrar Idekel lies above the tiny hamlet of Idekel, just to the west of the Tarakatine Pass, over which the main road runs into the Ameln Valley and Tafraoute. Probably the best way to the top is via the SE Ridge, which combines some first-class scrambling with memorable views of Jebel el Kest, the Ameln Valley and Adrar Mgorn.
The hamlet of Idekel is accessed along a narrow unsurfaced track which leaves the main road about half-way up the ascent to the Tarakatine Pass from the Ameln Valley. This turn-off is signposted in English. Park just before the village itself.
Traverse easy but pathless slopes above the village, heading for the obvious SE ridge. This is gained via a steep but simple ascent with some rock-bands to negotiate near the top. Once on the crest of the ridge the way is fairly obvious, and difficulties can be varied to suit your taste (avoidable scrambling up to grade 2). A number of steep towers can be taken direct with considerable interest, or circumnavigated via exposed traverses on which a head for heights is probably recommended. All of this, combined with some excellent views makes for a most enjoyable ascent, usually taking 1.5-2.5 hours. Not surprisingly the views from the summit are nothing short of spectacular.
Descent can then be made straight back towards the Idekel track via the easy terraced slopes on the NE side of the mountain.
A pdf download showing the route of this scramble is available here.
This is a very fine high-level circular walk which takes in some of the most impressive and important mountain faces above Amzkhssan, crosses some remote high passes, and features some of the best views you're likely to find in the range. Indeed, on a clear day it is possible to see all the way to Jebel Toubkal in the High Atlas over 200km away. The walk is mostly on ancient shepherd paths, and has significant cultural interest as well as awe-inspiring scenery. Some sections, however, are over pathless terrain and some care is required with route-finding. A full description (pdf download) of this highly-recommended walk can be found on our downloads page here.
The famous painted rocks of Agard Oudad are one of Tafraoute's 'must-see' attractions, and there's no finer way than on foot. This lovely half-day walk allows you to enjoy the Tafraoute back-country at your own pace, exploring the fascinating village of Agard Oudad, Napoleon's Hat, the Painted Rocks, and the ancient settlement of Tazekka, starting and finishing in the centre of Tafraoute. A pdf topo is available for download here.

Updates about today (Tuesday) and about Friday
RaeNye 02 Jun 2009 10:37
Algorithms class today for group 07 will be given by Rani at the usual place and hours.
It appears that many students in group 09 cannot make it to the Friday recitation at 10:00, so we move it to 11:00 instead.
Most probably in the same place (Shenkar 104), but stay tuned for the official email.
BTW, if you can't make it on Friday, feel free to attend one of the other recitations this week (groups 08 or 13) to be enlightened with network flows.
