For One Day... For One Cop... Home is Where the Hurt Is
"The Hour Trap" is a taut science fiction thriller and the first in a small slate of films that will launch a new and unique film studio in the Southeastern United States.
"The Hour Trap": On a hot summer's day in 2022, confident hero cop Hal Price is ready to lead his close-knit team in a major drug bust when he is brutally attacked and held captive in his hi-tech suburban home by five costumed, self-proclaimed time travelers whose masked leader seems to know more about Hal than he knows about himself. Now, with the clock ticking and his whole world on the line, Hal must play their game and discover the true motives and identities of his attackers or else risk losing everything and everyone he loves.
"The Hour Trap" has a completed script that has garnered high marks in several evaluations, each of which led, in turn, to minor alterations to parts of the script that have only served to improve the whole. The studio and its formation will allow this and other films to be made better, for less, along with creating jobs, launching the careers of talented film professionals and eventually revitalizing an industry in a region that almost was what Hollywood, California, is today. We have connections (distributors included) all over the country, including hot talent and industry veterans before and behind the cameras with interest in this project IF properly supported. Major interest in the studio has also been attracted, but its first film, this film, is going to be what sets everything in motion.

After Mark Carrier latched onto that pass intended for his Tampa Bay cousin of the same name, what followed was a demonstrative display
uncharacteristic of the Bears rookie, who epitomizes Southern California cool. First he pointed to a section of the Soldier Field seats where his mother and two sisters were sitting. Then he fingered the seat location of his godmother. Finally he pointed to a patch on his uniform right over the heart. It had the number 91, that of rookie defensive tackle Fred Washington, who died Friday in a car crash.


text: Yeah, so I downloaded Metroid Prime 3: Corruption for my PAL Wii when it was released, and I of course got the duplicate News and Weather-channels. It's very annoying, and people say that Nintendo might detect your hardware as modded easier that way. So now I'm thinking of formatting my Wii system memory. Of course, I have already copied my most important save files to an SD card (why can't you copy the Everybody Votes-save?!), so that's not a problem. I have a couple of questions though. 1: If I format it, can I still download my previously downloaded Virtual Console-games for free? 2: Does the WiiKey get corrupted or something if you format the Wii? (stupid question, I know) If these questions should be answered in another thread, just tell me and I'll delete this one.

When Adam was created,he was lonely and out of his own rib,God created for him Eve who was to be his COMPANION.Now thats how they started out until Eve ended up multiplying and filling the earth.You see Eve was a smart woman. She did not for one minute think that COMPANION meant friend and if thats what she thought she was dead wrong.
You are probably wondering what on earth Im talking about.It may not relate to you but you may know someone who is lingering in this predicament.You know, that heterosexual guy friend you have who has one million female friends, or that boyfriend who has a female best friend? Hallo!!!!WTF??
Truth be told.Guys say that women just want a man who has money to finance her indulgences.Yes, among other minor details like love.But men used to be pretty much straight to the point.THEY JUST WANT TO HAVE SEX!!!That is until they discovered a shortcut into your pants,or so they thought.
Ladies,listen and listen good.Men are not capable of keeping a female friend and not try to hit on her atleast once in their friendship.However not good looking the girl is,she has what he needs and yes she is a potential socket to his plug.So if you have that man with a female best friend watch out now before you end up being the friend while he discovers true love in his 'best friend' or worse he could be hooking up with the both of you,which is probably what he is doing anyway.
And guys,I hate to be the one to tell you this but, if your strategy is to be her friend and then progress into her pants,quit while you are ahead.She either thinks you are gay(which she is cool with) or she likes the idea of having a guy she can rave and rant to about the guy she wants or her periods...you know,girl stuff.
The point is,if you are looking to hook up with someone in the real world,be straightforward and let him/her know that you like what you see and you want to..you know what.
The friend zone tactic was brought about by mexican soaps where the friend always gets the girl.That only works in soaps and boarding schools.
Please be advised ,Im not a relationship guru and the views expressed here are entirely from my own thought process with a hint of experience.
Thats all Im saying.

Low oil price - implications for the Caspian
This report is currently unavailable
Report summary
The oil price fall has major implications for project sanction and near-term investment levels in the Caspian. Wood Mackenzie estimates that total capital expenditure to 2020 will exceed US$120 billion in the region. With short-term revenues under threat, some pre-sanction projects could be postponed or even shelved. Based on our long-term Brent assumption, onstream developments should not be affected. Operators will instead focus on achieving efficiencies and reducing operating expenditures.
What's included
This report contains
Table of contents
- Beyond Tengiz FGP, the megaprojects look safe for now
- High cost pre-sanction projects are under threat
- The domestic market becomes more attractive
- Lengthy M&A approval periods could have knock-on effect

Though on that same note, you could probably see why a statue honoring Roger Taney, a Supreme Court justice known for exactly one thing, might tick some people off, right?
Since most people aren't violent extremists like Neo-Nazi's or ANTIFA, and since most Americans are concerned with preserving American heritage and history regardless of political stance, one can deduce that a partisan minority is at odds with the majority of Americans who wish to preserve the historical value of these Confederate statues.
It's good to know that the majority of Americans haven't fallen prey to the emotional insecurity and irrational actions demonstrated by the minority so inflicted.
Though on that same note, you could probably see why a statue honoring Roger Taney, a Supreme Court justice known for exactly one thing, might tick some people off, right?
Yes, I can see how some people's emotional insecurity can drive them to destructive actions at the expense historical preservation.
According to the same logic: Since George Washington and Thomas Jefferson were slave owners, therefore we should remove the Washington Monument and Jefferson Memorial...because some people are ticked-off about that.
You think nobody knows that the United States has a massive fucking problem with institutionalized racism that it's only barely started to even acknowledge? What the fuck do you think Black Lives Matter is about? What the fuck do you think it means when people say 'white privilege'? Is this some attempt at being ironic? Or do you now think that you're woke, and are the only woke person?
Only stupid people are breeding I tell you.
Bipolar Game: http://store.steampowered.com/app/463450/
I don't want to whitewash our history, but I can understand why some people might find the Beauregard Buford "Darkie Hanger" Johnson Centennial Children's Play Park (you know, the one just down the street from town hall) a little distasteful.
The products of their time argument doesn't totally fly for Washington and Jefferson, since abolitionists were common at the time, even among the Founding Fathers. Washington gets points for stipulating in his will that his slaves were to be emancipated once his wife died, as well as provisions for education and employment of the freed slaves.
Jefferson, on the other hand, was a dick.
That said: founding a country earns people monuments in that country, no matter what kind of assholes they may have been in life.
Engaging in a civil war against a country and losing does not earn you a monument (with the possible exception of cases where the winning side later engages in egregious human rights abuses and ultimately collapses under the weight of its own corruption).
Last edited by Fafhrd; 18th Aug 2017 at 02:25.
We don't know how Washington or Jefferson would have leapt if they were alive and working when Fort Sumter fell. Washington and Jefferson kept slaves, but were never confronted with the dilemma of committing treason and waging war in the name of keeping them. Not saying that absolves them, but I'd hesitate to automatically throw them in with the likes of Lee, Forrest, Pickett, Davis, and everyone else who had to choose and make their bed.
The question is, how does taking them out of parks and putting them in museums act to destroy history? It's not like we're burning history books, or destroying copies of Ken Burn documentaries. People are still free buy the billion and one movies available on the subject, put battle flag bumper stickers on their cars, and collect all the Civil War memorabilia they can afford.
Honestly, I could go either way on the issue, and, taken in a vacuum, it really isn't something I feel all that strongly about in general. I can understand why some want to keep them, and I can understand why others want to remove them from public spaces. What I don't understand is how it erases history in any way, especially considering the wealth of information available about the Civil War beyond these statues.
To boil the whole hoolabaloo down to its bare basics: no one wants to censor anything, but some don't think the confederates deserves a place of honor in our society.
Just pretend it's the electoral college of opinion.
Even though that's irrelevant because it's not a presidential election, the margin is wide enough that even if calculated electorally by state, the majority sentiment would remain the same.
Yeah, well, point is the majority doesn't always win out. Sorry.
No need to apologize to me...although, you should be concerned about the repercussions that result from this imbalance.
Democracy isn't perfect. Striking a balance between protecting the minority without impairing the majority is something democratic societies may grapple with until the sun goes nova. But, like the man said, "democracy is the worst form of government, except for all the others."
And of course, how many of those people surveyed were influenced by the events in Charlottesville to answer the way they did? A lot of them probably thought, "If we bring more confederate statues down, we'll get more violent clashes and more Nazis marching in the street. Better leave 'em up, just to avoid that headache."
Actually, it's about ethics in sculpture maintenance.
Of course, as an outsider I don't wanna speculate too much about how Americans feel about these things. But I gotta ask, was this an issue on most people's minds before Charlottesville? It feels like over the past week a lot of poeple have gone from not having strong feelings about confederate statues to being like "neo nazis want them to stay up? fuck that, let's start toppling this shit!"
They've been an issue forever. In the 90s you started to see civil rights statues going up as a kind of counterpoint, and I think some of the first (public) ones started getting moved into museums, which picked up steam in the 2000s. (The confederate flag issue too.) But they've rarely been in the spotlight as much as now, and as such a key symbol, which is just the combination of all the factors involved, white power rally, Trump's statements, the Millennials and hashtag activism.
BTW, my first reaction is to notice, what a lot in the US aren't appreciating, that almost every country that's ever had a war where the former combatants and their descendants still have to live with each other, ie, practically every country ever, has this same issue of dealing with memory and memorialization, statues and memorials. There's a whole field now devoted to it we call Transitional Justice. People that care about it would do well to read that literature and see how other countries have dealt with the same types of issues, and what are all the considerations involved according to specialists that have thought a lot about it professionally.
Would an acceptable solution be to keep the statues and just graft an erect brass penis onto the forehead of each one?
This is a present day cultural conflict. Historical statues and monuments shouldn't even be involved in this.
I don't think that transitional justice applies as an excuse now because the civil war was 150 years ago and everyone alive today is several generations removed from anyone who personally experienced it. The Reconstruction was a period of transitional justice. If we're going to say that monuments, memorials, and historical art are fair game for destruction since we're still in a period of post-Civil war transitional justice, then pretty much every society on Earth is in a perpetual transitional justice period and everything is fair game.
When I saw the mob in North Carolina tearing down the statue of a Confederate soldier, I immediately thought of three other examples in recent history: the toppling of Saddam Hussein's statue in Baghdad 2003, the destruction of Lenin statues in Ukraine starting in the 1990s, and demolition of the Buddhas of Bamiyan by the Taliban in 2001. The first was a war-time act and the statue was of a ruthless dictator that was still alive, so I have no qualms about that one. The second occurred in a post-independence transition period, and although I personally didn't want to see them destroyed, I think it's somewhat understandable considering Ukrainians had literally just thrown off communism and emerged from under the thumb of the USSR. Finally, the destruction of the Buddhas was just senseless destruction of historical art because it wasn't politically correct in modernity. By invoking the term "politically correct" here I'm referring to the fact that modern Afghans don't tolerate non-Islamic religions even though the region of Afghanistan was once multi-religious. The Buddhas seemed like the closest analogy to what I saw in North Carolina.
I'm a history buff and it makes me angry when history gets hijacked by a political or cultural movement far removed from it. Or when history gets re-interpreted in a one-sided way to justify some modern day cause. Or when supposed "historians" falsify history to fit a politically correct narrative. All of that is happening now. In my opinion, the benefit of having these public symbols such as statues, memorials, etc. is so that people don't forget their history, and sometimes they inspire people to learn it. My impression is that most of the people who advocate purging the country of public symbols of the Confederacy don't know jack shit about it, and don't WANT to know jack shit about it, which is sad.
This bust of Abraham Lincoln, erected by Phil Bloomquist on August 31, 1926, was damaged & burned...
In the minority partisan opinion, it is justified to destroy historical statues and monuments that some find disagreeable.
This is just another example of an irrational, emotionally insecure response, that is desecrating American heritage and creating strife as a result of imbalance.
Vae. You are creating a false equivalence between monuments to national heroes and celebrations of traitors.

Field day will explore benefits of combining strip-till and cover crops – June 8, in Holland
For Release: May 17, 2017
Liz Juchems | Iowa Learning Farms | (515) 294-5429 | email@example.com | iowalearningfarms.org
Fred Abels | K & A Acres | (319) 640-2002 | email@example.com
Tamsyn Jones | Practical Farmers of Iowa | (515) 232-5661 | firstname.lastname@example.com
HOLLAND, Iowa — Cover crops and strip-tillage are two practices farmers can use to minimize erosion, boost soil health and reduce nutrients entering waterways – and combining the two can augment their benefits.
Fred Abels has been strip-tilling for more than 10 years, using homemade equipment, and incorporating cover crops into his row crop and livestock farm near Holland.
He will share his experience at a Practical Farmers of Iowa field day he is hosting on Thursday, June 8, from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m., in Holland. The event – "Strip-Till and Cover Crop Field Day" – is being held in partnership with Iowa Learning Farms and Iowa State University Extension and Outreach, and will start with dinner, featuring beef burgers provided by PT Grillers in Morrison, in the shelter at the Holland City Park (located near the intersection of 4th Avenue N and Main Street).
The field day is free and open to all, but RSVPs are requested for the meal. Please contact Liz Juchems at (515) 294-5429 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
After dinner and discussion, guests will walk to the field site just north of the park. Fred will share how he has adapted his operation to use strip-till and cover crops together while maintaining yields, and guests will get to see strip-tillage equipment. Other speakers will include Mark Hanna, agricultural engineer with ISU Extension, and Sarah Carlson, Midwest cover crops director with Practical Farmers of Iowa.
Fred says he wants to show attendees how it's possible to start using strip-tillage on a low budget. "You don't need to buy a new or used strip-tillage implement to get into strip-till," he says. "I've been using a homemade strip-tillage implement for over 10 years and got it where it does a nice job of preparing a clean, black strip of soil to plant into – and I planted into 200 bushel-an-acre corn residue with a winter rye cover crop."
Fred Abels and his wife, Vicki, farm about 400 acres at K & A Acres Inc. Fred acquired the farm from his uncle in the late-1970s after working for other farmers for a few years. In addition to corn and soybeans, he has a cow-calf herd that he rotationally grazes. He uses several conservation practices to protect his soil, local waterways and wildlife, including no-till, strip-till, cover crops, the Conservation Reserve Program and grass waterways, among others.
Directions: The field day will start at the Holland City Park, near the intersection of 4th Avenue N and Main Street, near the ball diamond. After dinner and discussion, the group will walk to the field, which is just 1.5 blocks east of the park.
Practical Farmers' 2017 field days are supported by several sustaining and major sponsors, including: Ag Ventures Alliance; Albert Lea Seed; Center for Rural Affairs; Fertrell; Gandy Cover Crop Seeders; Grain Millers, Inc.; Iowa Beef Center; Iowa Environmental Council; Iowa State University Department of Agronomy; Iowa Sustainable Agriculture Research and Education (SARE); ISU Extension and Outreach; La Crosse Forage and Turf Seed; Lemken; Leopold Center for Sustainable Agriculture; MOSA Organic Certification; Natural Resources Defense Council; Organic Valley / Organic Prairie; Riverside Feeds, LLC; The Scoular Company; Trees Forever; Unilever; University of Iowa College of Public Health (I-CASH); Upper Iowa Audubon Society; USDA: Natural Resources Conservation Service; Wallace Chair for Sustainable Agriculture; and Welter Seed & Honey Co.
Practical Farmers of Iowa strengthens farms and communities through farmer-led investigation and information-sharing. Our values include: welcoming everyone; creativity, collaboration and community; viable farms now and for future generations; and stewardship and ecology. Founded in 1985, farmers in our network raise corn, soybeans, livestock, hay, fruits and vegetables, and more. To learn more, visit https://www.practicalfarmers.org.
Established in 2004, Iowa Learning Farms has become a trusted source of conservation information and research while helping to build a Culture of Conservation by encouraging adoption of conservation practices. Farmers, researchers and ILF team members are working together to identify and implement the best management practices that improve water quality and soil health while remaining profitable.

Einsteins explanation of the PHOTOELECTRIC EFFECT
According to classic physics, what should happen in the Photoelectric effect
All wavelengths and frequencies should be able to dislodge electrons
How did Einstein use the ideas in Planck's theory to explain the photoelectric effect?
Einstein applies Plancks theory by showing that the blue light has more energy than the red light since the blue light has a higher frequency
What is a photon?
A photon is a particle of electromagnetic radiation having zero mass and carving a quantum energy. The blue photon has a large enough quantum to dislodge the electron from metal atoms.
What equation gives the energy of a photon
Ephoton= hv
How did einsteins explanation of the photoelectric effect lead to the understanding of the dual nature of light?
Prior to einstein, light was believed ot be a wave. Because of einsteins explanation of the photoelectric effect, light was shown to behave like a particle or how could it dislodge another particle from a metal atom.

Time Flies When… Well, When You're Really Busy
So, wow. An entire week has gone by since the last post (true, it was a short week, thanks to Memorial Day, but seriously — whoosh!). But we've got lots of fun upcoming posts, so I promise we won't take as long next time.
In the meantime, we were just checking out this report. Albuquerque placed second on Kiplinger's Personal Finance Magazine's "Best Cities 2009" — just under Huntsville, Alabama, and just above Washington, D.C. Albuquerque was noted for its plethora of high-tech jobs, film industry growth (there were just 100 people in the industry here eight years ago; now there are 3,000), being largely environmentally friendly, and its "mélange of cultures."
So what do you think? Does any of this news surprise you?
3 Comments
GregMay 29, 2009
Not surprising, really. But cool news nonetheless!
PaulMay 29, 2009
That's good news. The high-tech industry has always been a component here (certainly now more than ever) but it's interesting to see how quickly the film industry is taking off.
Michael CusortelliJune 3, 2009
I'm only surprised that we weren't ranked number one — ahead of Huntsville!

Upgrading from a previous release¶
New in version 2.0.0: Automatically upgrade from an older Cuckoo setup into a new one by importing the old setup.
This document describes the process of importing an older Cuckoo setup in order to upgrade your Cuckoo to the latest and greatest version. This importing process is possible for Cuckoo 0.6 and upwards. Naturally it doesn't re-apply any custom code changes that you applied to your old setup, but it does migrate your database, configuration, and analyses to the new version (in a best-effort manner).
Now, in order to upgrade your setup, you'll simply have to perform the following steps:
- Come up with a Cuckoo Working Directory for the new setup (although the default one should work just fine, assuming it doesn't exist yet).
- Optionally create a backup of your data (Cuckoo will also offer to do this for you before doing the actual setup import).
- Run the
cuckoo importcommand.
The cuckoo import command¶
cuckoo import App performs a number of steps in order to import an
older setup. Previously we had manual steps for performing a database
migration, these have been integrated in the import process as well.
The usage of
cuckoo import is as follows:
$ cuckoo import --help
Usage: cuckoo import [OPTIONS] PATH
Imports an older Cuckoo setup into a new CWD. The old setup should be
identified by PATH and the new CWD may be specified with the --cwd
parameter, e.g., "cuckoo --cwd /tmp/cwd import old-cuckoo".
--copy Copy all existing analyses to the new CWD (default)
--move Move all existing analyses to the new CWD
--symlink Symlink all existing analyses to the new CWD
--help Show this message and exit.
As per the limited usage documentation of this command, there is an input and
an output directory and a couple of different modes. The rest is done by
cuckoo import according to best-practice manners.
The three different modes are best described as follows. Keep in mind that these modes only inform the importing process on what to do with the existing analyses - these modes do not apply to any used databases or other data.
copy: Copies all the analyses from the old setup to the new CWD. In this mode the old
storage/folder will be copied to
$CWD/storage/. The
copymode is useful if you want to maintain a backup of the old setup and its analyses, allowing one to restore it with the appropriate SQL backup. Note that this mode will double the size of your existing analyses directory as it does a full copy.
move: Moves all the analyses from the old setup to the new CWD. In this mode the old
storage/folder is moved to
$CWD/storage/. After the import process you won't have a backup of your old data anymore, but you will be able to reference to it in the new CWD / setup.
symlink: Creates a symbolic link from each analysis in the old setup, i.e.,
storage/analyses/XYZ, to the new CWD, i.e.,
$CWD/storage/XYZ. This method is the most desired (as you'll be able to access the existing analyses in both the old setup as well as the new CWD), but doesn't work on Windows.
The default mode is
copy due to its feature of remaining available on
both the old setup as well as the new CWD as well as being cross-platform
symlink mode isn't supported on Windows). After reading this
documentation one may opt to go for
symlink or
move mode on
non-Windows systems and
move mode on Windows systems, though.
Following are the steps taken by Cuckoo when performing an import:
- The user has to accept a non-binding EULA-like agreement that (just kidding) attempts to inform him or her regarding the implications of importing an older setup.
- The version of the old Cuckoo setup is identified.
- It is ensured that the new CWD does not already exist.
- The old Cuckoo Configuration is read, migrated, and then validated to be fit for usage with the new Cuckoo version, i.e., you can configure a Cuckoo 0.6 setup and migrate it all the way to the latest version and it will simply work.
- The new CWD is created and it is configured with the migrated configuration.
- The user is prompted to optionally create a SQL database backup. On
Linux-based systems this should work out of the box (and you'll get a hard
error otherwise), but due to issues with
$PATHthis may require manually fixing up the command on Windows & Mac OS X systems.
- After the ability to create a SQL database backup, the database schema is migrated to the latest version in-place, i.e., you will not be able to use your old Cuckoo setup with this database anymore (hence the backup).
- Any and all existing analyses are imported to the new CWD using the
modeas specified, or if it has not been specified, the default
You are now the happy owner of an up-to-date Cuckoo setup. Please inform us of any feedback that you may have through one of the various communication channels that we've put in-place.
One should not clean the old Cuckoo setup after the import. By
attempting to do so you may loose the existing analyses (if
mode is used) and the SQL, MongoDB, and ElasticSearch databases.

One of the perks to my reunion weekend in Maine was catching up with my lovely friend Karen who, not only lives in Portland and is recently engaged to be married, but she spent 6 months last year hiking the entire Appalachian Trail! While living in Portland for a short while, I spent a lot of cozy times with Karen and, aside from watching re-runs of "Beverly Hills 90210" and eating copious amounts of Thai food (Bangkok Thai, anyone?), I remember her telling me her future plans of hiking the A.T.
At the time, I could barely imagine how anyone could accomplish such a feat. I mean, get a load of this mileage:
It's far, no? Anyway, I should have known that Karen would be that person. Her energy is boundless, as is her ability to inspire with an accomplishment such as tackling the 2,178 mile trail from start to finish. Here are a few fun facts:
- The Appalachian trail is the first completed national scenic trail, designated in 1968.
- It crosses six other units of the national park system.
- The trail traverses eight national forests.
- It touches 14 states and houses more than 2,000 occurrences of rare, threatened, endangered, and sensitive plant and animal species at about 535 sites.
- Lowest elevation: 124 feet – near the Trailside Museum and Zoo at Bear Mountain, New York
- Highest elevation: 6,625 feet – on Clingmans Dome in Tennessee
- It takes approximately 5 million footsteps to walk the entire length of the Trail.
This picture of Karen was the one that gave me chills. She looks so happy and content. It's exactly how one should appear while they are following their path.
These photos were taken on Max Patch, an A.T. summit in North Carolina. I can say with certainty, I want to be on it.
Talking to Karen made me want to hike the A.T. (oh so badly) and now I have an itch that just won't go away (and it's not from the mosquitoes, I tell you, although they did have quite the lovefest with my right ankle).
Considering a go at the Appalachian Trail is definitely something I can safely think about in ways that are both goal-oriented and dream-like. I could really use the kinds of challenges and triumphs that come with such an emotional experience as setting out on an almost 3,000 adventure all on your own! How liberating! Just imagining the journey makes me feel alive...what more could you ask for? Seeing how Karen lit up talking about the trail, made me yearn for a similar zest, a lively rush! It will come, I know it will...

We are now in our 3rd week of the Fall Session and classes are looking great. Our ½ hour Skill Clinic Class at 5pm has been producing awesome results. For those that are not familiar with what it is, here is a brief description. Between the 4pm and the 5:30 classes on Mon, Wed, Thurs and Fri we are having a half hour Skill Clinic which focuses on a different set of skills each week. Students at the end of the 4pm class can stay another half hour and students coming in for the 5:30 class can come early to attend. The class can be paid in full for the 12 week session as an hour and a half class (or prorated for those classes left) or students can drop in for specific skills they are trying to master for a $7 fee. The 12 week outline for the skills is:
Week #1 Rolls, Handstands and Tumbling Basics
Week #2 Cartwheels and Round-Offs
Week #3 Vault: From the Run to the Landing
Week #4 Uneven Bars: Swinging, Gliding, Casting and Gripping
Week #5 Walk-overs and Handsprings
Week #6 Strength and Flexibility in Gymnastics
Week #7 Balance Beam Skills & Drills
Week #8 Tips & Drills: How to become a Stronger Gymnast & Tumbler
Week #9 A closer look at the Bars & Beam
Week #10 Balance Beam Work
Week #11 Cross Pad Tumbling
Week #12 Review of Past Skill Clinics (What do you want to work on)
Please note: The Thursday 4pm Class is full. Please talk to us if this class is of interest so we can place you into another class of appropriate skill level.
New students are still welcome to join class. Prices will be prorated based on the number of classes left in the 12 week session. Give us a call to see which class is appropriate.
Amy Lewis was here last week talking with everyone about her survey and just what classes are requested and on what days. She is compiling her information and will be here again this week Thursday and Friday from 4pm to 5:30 pm to talk to anyone interested in fitness, Zumba, Breathing & Stretching, Full Body Conditioning, and more. The survey is pasted below for your convenience. It can be printed out in hard copy and dropped off at the gym or copy and pasted back into a reply email. Amy is looking to start her classes in early October so get your requests in to make sure your particular classes are offered.
Hope everyone has a great week.

Facebook is a fascinating success story (good enough to make a movie about!) but that story might be entering its final chapter, as Robin Harris of ZDNet cites search-engine data that suggests interest in Facebook has already peaked, and is now declining. It's not dissimilar to the fate that awaited Friendster, Myspace, and other social media platforms – it's just a larger popularity wave than any to come before it, cresting and breaking more slowly and majestically.
Basically, the research model described by Harris uses Google Trends data to predict the downfall of social media platforms, on the theory that people stop talking about (and searching for) a website before they lose interest in using it. Good news for Amazon.com: their interest level just keeps trending up and up. But Facebook is either at its peak or already on the downward slope of user interest, under this model.
Harris' conclusion:
To be clear, the research doesn't predict imminent doom for Facebook.
But it does suggest that the Facebook fad faces user interest declines just as other services before it have.
Interest has already declined among younger teenagers — one reason Facebook paid $19B for WhatsApp — and Facebook has more challenges ahead. Concerns over information security, selling of information, and constant UI changes have soured many people I know.
But given the "social" nature of social services, is it so surprising that they are more like fads than utilities? Facebook will struggle to stay relevant to users' lives.
It's an interesting point, because if we were talking about the life-cycle of social media platforms in a vacuum of experience, we might suppose that people would be reluctant to give up their accumulated contact information, apps, etc. to jump to the Next Big Thing. But in practice, that's exactly what they did. Facebook hit so big that some prognosticators thought it might become the end of social-media history, so popular and widely accepted that it essentially became synonymous with the very concept of having an online presence. Obviously, that's the goal Facebook had in mind.
But instead, here are some early warning signs that they're a bigger phenomenon moving a bit more slowly down the same road as all who came before. Some of that is due to the wonderfully competitive nature of the Internet, where every established success is giving hungry new designers a benchmark to hit and surpass. Competition for excellence has rarely come so fast and furious. In the case of something like Facebook, since there's not much of a financial investment involved, there's little inertia – if other platforms beckon, users have no reason not to play with them too, and if they find themselves spending more time playing around with the new toys, well, the old toys start gathering dust.
I also can't help thinking Facebook has made some mistakes that would hasten its demise. Some of them, like the recent psych-study brouhaha, compromised user trust in the platform. Some were public-relations blunders. Others were design decisions that users found annoying. Perhaps the fate of all platforms is that over time, they get modified enough, and compromised enough in the interest of advertising support, to eventually start looking like beat-up old jalopies, prompting users to trade them in for newer models. It seems like every platform gets uglier and more confusing over time.
If anyone had the resources to avoid that aging process, it should have been Facebook, but maybe in the end it will be shown that no platform is immortal. I can still remember people excitedly claiming that MySpace was forever.

This always seems to surprise people when I explain this because they are under the misapprehension that the United Kingdom is a democracy with respect for the law.
In the United Kingdom one cannot, as one might expect, go to the authorities such as the police to complain about the misuse of powers which are available to the intelligence services. One must complain instead to a judicial body called the the Investigatory Powers Tribunal (IPT) which hears complaints about surveillance by public bodies and which is "the only Tribunal to whom complaints about the Intelligence Services can be directed" The Tribunal has jurisdiction to consider complaints about the use of surveillance by any organisations with powers under the Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act.
Certain European Court of Human Rights judgments said the IPT offers no human rights remedy on surveillance questions, in particular Burden v United Kingdom (2008) 47 EHRR 3869 and Malik v United Kingdom (Application no.32968/11) [2013] ECHR 794 (28 May 2013)
Organisations under the IPT's jurisdiction must provide details to the IPT of any activity that is being complained about. The IPT will only decide whether any surveillance that is being carried out is lawful—i.e., that it has been appropriately authorised and is being conducted in accordance with the applicable rules. If it investigates a complaint and finds that surveillance is being carried out but is lawful, it will not confirm to the complainant that they are under surveillance, merely state that their complaint has not been upheld. The IPT is exempt from the Freedom of Information Act 2000 so information made available to it in the course of considering a complaint cannot be obtained under a freedom of information request. There is no avenue to appeal, other than to take the case to the European Court of Human Rights.
Only select IPT rulings are published. Statistics concerning complaints dealt with by the IPT are published each year in the Annual Report of the Interception of Communications Commissioner.
Those statistics shows that very few complaints about surveillance have been upheld; from 2000 to 2009, five out of at least 956 complaints have been upheld and the likelihood of success has not changed since that period.
In effect, if one examines my case and one examines what is stated by the law, the intelligence agencies in the United Kingdom have effective immunity from any form of legal recourse and prosecution in cases where they abuse the powers which are available to them.
Furthermore even cabinet ministers, namely the foreign secretary and home secretary who formally have the responsibility for the intelligence agencies are not permitted, according to the Maxwell-Fyfe convention, as explained by the former home secretary Merlyn Rees to have oversight over or to know the operational deeds or misdeeds of those agencies..
In terms of the press, they are subject to something known as the DA committee whereby embarrassing stories which are embarrassing to the government are not covered.
It is on record the the Secret Intelligence Service amongst other things
1) Threatened to torture me and
2) Attempted to kill me.
Strangely newspapers such as the Telegraph and the Mail are rather reluctant when it comes at investing such matters and will hold the party line. In other words they will do what they are told.
It is fair to say that the press in concealing and justifying the corruption which exists within these agencies, is following a tradition whereby they are only too pleased to conceal things like:
- The Hillsborough disaster
- The Guildford Four
- The Birmingham Six
- The Battle of Orgreave
- Torture allegations made against the Secret Intelligence Service
- Jimmy Saville
- Cyril Smith
It is especially understandable that they should be at the beck and call of the authorities which in this instance come in the form of the intelligence agencies.
The point of journalism is from what I understand to hold the powerful to account, which they manifestly and repeatedly fail to do.
In effect where an agency have such great powers available to it, no oversight, such great secrecy and collaboration on the part of the press in concealing corruption, it is inevitable that it will attract certain criminal elements as was outlined by Jock Kane.

The baseball season--the one they told Mike Gerakos might not come--will open today, just like any other.
Who knew it could be so sweet for a coach to worry about such things as having a No. 1 starter whose earned-run average last season was 5.62? Who knew that losing the players who hit 23 of your 34 home runs could seem like a relatively small matter?
"It's time for us to look ahead, not back," Gerakos said. "Right now, we have an opportunity to get the season going."
UC Irvine's game at 2:30 today at Anteater Field is an exhibition against Spain's pre-Olympic team. At noon Saturday, the Anteaters will play a varsity-alumni game. The official season starts Tuesday, against Loyola Marymount at Anteater Field.

BSOD at Startup/Random
Don't know what type it is, or really anything about it. was woken up at 4am by my dad to "fix the computer i broke"
any help would be appreciated. as far as I know, it usually always crashes @ startup, up to 4 times in a row. but once you're in, you're usually set. my brother told me it's crashed once or twice after startup though.
|My System Specs

This is your father's computer?
There is 56 items in the startup. Still it starts. So the computer is good, usage is bad.
Free up the startup. Windows does not need any other program to auto start with it, but the auto start programs often conflicts and causes various problems including BSODs.
Next, uninstall Avast using Avast Uninstall Utility. Use Microsoft Security Essentials as your antivirus with windows inbuilt firewall, and free MBAM as the on demand scanner.
Download, install and update those, and then run full system scans with both of them, one by one.
Daemon Tools, Alcohol 120% and Power Archiver Pro uses SCSI Pass Through Direct (SPTD), which is a well known BSOD causer. Uninstall Daemon Tools at first. Then download SPTD standalone installer from Disk-Tools.com, and execute the downloaded file as guided below :

Long Time No Post
So this is just a quick post as sort of an update-with-no-update. The rumors of my death have been mildly exaggerated. I've been busy with personal stuff, and short on budget, so I had to suspend this project for a while. I plan to pick it up next month some time, and hopefully everything will come together. That's all for now!

Purascharana means pura charati iti, that means, that which is performed before or prior. Before the deity or prior to the mantra siddhi. We will come to the q what is mantra siddhi later. Now, what should be done before or prior to complete a purascharana.
- 'Rishi' or The Seer
- 'Chanda or method of pronunciation.
- 'Devta' or The Presiding Deity of mantra
- 'Bija' or The Seed .
- 'Shakti' or The Power
- 'Kilaka' or The Pillar
The intensions of the Mantra worshipper or 'Mantra Shadak' are his or her responsibility. One must thus be clear about why one picks up this tool of Mantra meditation. Good or bad Karmas are categorized according to the effect they create inside and outside the individual, who should be prepared to acknowledge responsibility for the same.
Chanda - The way the mantra is to be recited.
The raga is comparable to a western melody line - a sound or sequence of single sounds, without harmony. When chanting a Mantra, it is extremely important not to change the raga and its key, because the rate of vibration on which the sound is based on integral part of the Mantra.
Devta - Presiding Deity
The Devta is the presiding deity of the mantra. The informing powers a very personal aspect of God. It is the wisdom that comes from a higher source and is like a single beam of sunlight. One beam that is singled out and given a name so that the disciple can develop a personal relationship with and worship on aspect of God that he or she can understand and experience.
Bija - Seed of mantra
Each mantra has a Bija or seed. This represents the sound string defined by the Seers as being the repository of auditory energy sources. The form and content of the Bija have been handed down from the ages. The Bija gives the mantra in which it is used, its special power of self-generation and effects. Just as within a seed is hidden within tree, so too, the energy of the mantra is resident in the seed on which it is based. This helps the mantra to manifest itself into spiritual consciousness.
Shakti - The Power
The power, the consciousness, within the mantra is 'Shakti' - the Divine Mother, the goddess of the spoken word. The male aspect of the God is energy in a state of equilibrium; the female aspect is the dynamic energy, which manifests as Creation. This energy is the source of creation of all living beings. In the mantra this energy is present in a pure form. The potency of the mantra is realized through repetitions, until the individual chanting the same, feels the presence of God. This is a spiritual experience, which the Mantras help to bring about.
Kilaka - The Balancing force of mantra
The Kilaka is at first, the driving force, the persistence and will power that the discipline needs to pursue the Mantra. But when the power of the Mantra begins to take on a self generating 'flywheel motion', the Kilaka becomes a very fine thread joining the discipline to the mantra, to the power of the mantra, to the Guru and to the deity, until all are manifest as one.
Lets say you are not doing a complete Anushthaan, you are doing just some Prayog... in Prayog the procedure is again clearly defined by the person given that Prayog, that means Guru, it can be using a Yantra with specific Mantra and Tantra for 11, 21, 45... any no of fixed days. Prayog is a specialized way, empowered by a Guru, works primarily for his disciples. Others have minimum effect (yes this is the truth, try it). Or you just want the normal benefit from a Mantra, even in that case, it is a well known fact that the bare minimum required for working any Tantra or Mantra or Yantra is the knowledge of its Viniyog which compromises --
(2) Rishi (Creator of Mantra, Seer who first attained or mastered the Mantra)
(3) Chhand (Meter of Mantra or pattern of pronunciation)
(4) Devataa (Name of deity)
(5) Beejam (main seed for power source of Mantra)
(6) Shakti (you can say main power enhancer, like to mature the seed)
(7) Keelak (the unlocking password)
(8) Abheesht Arth (your purpose of chanting)
