Thanks to the efforts of the Singapore Students Society at the University of Melbourne, together with counterparts at RMIT, University of Monash (Caulfield & Clayton), more than 500 Singaporeans and friends of Singapore had the chance to celebrate our country's 44th birthday tonight. Held at the Sidney Myer Asia Centre at the University of Melbourne (along Swanston Street), the party was a great way to rekindle passions and emotions in one's homeland.
While I haven't been away from Singapore that long (my last trip back was in mid July 2009), I still feel the pains of homesickness occasionally creeping up on me (especially since my family is there). Which was why I think that its a great idea to have celebrations of Singapore's birthday in cities with significant numbers of Singaporeans. Special thanks must go to Wan Hua who helped made this gathering possible.
No prizes for guessing what this ticket to the event resembles! I thought it was a great stroke of creativity.

Orientation Week has just concluded at the University of Melbourne, and all self respecting students should have got to know every square metre of the campus, every lecturer or tutor that he or she is supposed to be acquainted with, and every single prize winning opportunity available. Hordes of freshmen and women thronged the age-old campus, signing up for various activities, clubs and societies while learning about the various facilities available such as the libraries, computer labs, seminars rooms and so on.
Here are some brief snapshots of my experience this week, focusing in particular on the "Amazing Race" which I undertook this afternoon with three other friends. That got me totally winded and I am "amazed" at how I could still blog after that most tiring (but fun…okay somewhat fun) experience.
The tar roads and concrete pavements were used as signboards with coloured chalk scribbled on them during Orientation Week.

Cliche Misunderstandings Will Always Occur Coincidentally (1)
Ever since I was little, my dream was to be Sleeping Beauty. She didn't need to get up from bed or go to school. Only her bed accompanied her for ten years. After she woke up, she could even kiss my Prince and have more tens of years ahead of her. Even though Fang Yuke was a poisonous tongued prince, he was still a prince, possessing all of the qualities of a Prince: First of all, this pretty boy overlooked the wind like a jaden tree, distinguished and elegant. He fit the appearance of little Won Bin. Secondly, this pretty boy was top notch at his studies, completely invincible. Last, he came from a family with a literary reputation, with hereditary benefits such as rank and wealth. In short, I had hooked onto a wealthy husband. I laughed, proud of myself.
I laid supine, on the bed in the guestbed, wiping at the saliva that fell from the corner of my mouth as I foolishly laughed towards the ceiling. During summer vacation, it was a pity that all my friends went swimming, and exploring, so I had no one to talk to. My rapidly expanding state of mind was incapable of enjoying this with my dormmates, as I was unable to stop myself from saying everything on my mind. I could only call my mother to announce the good news. Ahh life was hard for this old woman. At long last, one affair had been done right. My mother answered the phone and impatiently said, "Aren't you interning here? If you have something to say then come over to say it. I'm playing mahjong."
I laughed calculatingly like an evil person.
My mother was about to erupt: "Do you think that calling doesn't cost money?!?! Do I have to use my brains to protect myself from other people leaving bombs everywhere? Don't create chaos. If I can't get good mahjong tiles, then I'll find you to calculate the bill!"
Aww just like at my status at home. For a mahjong game, a daughter was about to be assassinated.
However, I was feeling good so I wouldn't bother about this problem: "Congratulations, in the future you'll have a handsome son-in-law."
The phone resounded with a BANG from the other end with ample strength. Then, quietness emerged.
After a long time, she slowly said, "Bring him home tomorrow."
Mother was indeed an impetuous person: "You're not afraid I won't lose face by bringing him home immediately afterwards?"
My ma exhausted her voice: "Someone like you finally picked someone up back home, and I'm sooo happy. Who cares if it loses face?"
Even though her words were very logical, seeing that it was from my mother, my heart still felt a bit of shock: "I don't have to bring him home. You know him. It's Fang Yuke." When I spoke of this name, I had already flung my old mother's ear piercing words behind me. What I got back instead, was pure happiness. In the past, I had not discovered, how liking someone could be such a pleasant feeling.
At the other end, my old mother laughed even more wretchedly. Sure enough, old ginger was hotter than young ginger [1]: "How will my son-in-law escape my fingers? Haha……"
I couldn't help but sweat. After all she was still a highly conservative old woman.
My old mother suddenly used a solemn and grave tone of voice to tell me: "If you let him go, then don't come home anymore. Since you've dug up gold, then you must protect it well. You haven't lived for nothing all these years." When she finished, she put down the phone.
Finally, I had made Wen Tao's description of "one cannot sleep soundly in the endless night" a reality. The clock was already pointing to 3:00 but I still could not sleep. My passion sure surged up violently. In the middle of the night, the aftermath of expressing my affections was arriving late. The second day, when we gathered together, I was still sleeping in the hotel, until I was pulled off of the bed. I opened my eyes and saw Fang Yuke. I thought I was still dreaming beautifully, so I prepared to close my eyes and sleep more. Fang Yuke hastily seized my face like he was holding onto a tiger skinned cat as he said, "Don't sleep anymore, don't sleep anymore. The sun is high in the sky. Everyone's waiting for you."
I looked at him sluggishly, wondering if I had really become his girlfriend or not.
Fang Yuke saw I was not awake, and patted my head: "Just now, I called you so many times, but you wouldn't wake up. If I hadn't grabbed your hotel card, we would have all thought you died by suicide. Hurry and wash your face."
I yawned as I got off the bed and wore my shoes, slowly making my way to the bathroom. I was shocked at my friend's hair in the mirror. I squeezed toothpaste out, and walked out with bubbles all over my mouth: "I finally know what's wrong. How can you come into my room randomly? If this gets out, my lifetime's innocence will be ruined by you."
Fang Yuke wiped off the bubbles on my face. His face still wore a hint of an evil smile: "It'll be great if this gets out. The farther it gets, the better. It'll be best if this gets out to Wen Tao's ears. I want to see Wen Tao super sullen. In the future, let's hold hands in front of him and show off."
Men were always childish. But as I kept listening, I automatically remembered the last sentence. Thus, I began to laugh.
Fang Yuke warmly brushed off my hair that stuck up in the air trying to fly: "Be obedient. First go comb your hair."
I walked even more eagerly towards the restroom. With some water, I managed to press my hair down again.
Today's assignment was to go to visit the wickerwork craftsmen among the people. Actually, I didn't care about the theme. Love was sufficient for me to lose all my wisdom. What's more, I didn't have much IQ in the beginning. Originally, I would pretend to be aloof. Even if I was in love, I would reflect a "Currently still inspecting and studying" powerful attitude. But grudgingly, my external appearance and inner thoughts coincided which caused my whole face to laugh, with some distortion……
Tan Yi walked over uneasily: "Sis-in-law [2], nothing's wrong with you right? You've already laughed to a bamboo basket for a whole morning."
I had never felt that "sis-in-law" could sound so pleasing to the ear before. I patted Tan Yi's shoulders: "As a person, you must be happy. Our hometown has so many cool wickerbasket arts, which can become one of the pillars of our economic development. Art and economics complement each other in this way, jointly improving. I can't help but feel my heart move with happiness, full of comfort."
Tan Yi scanned our surroundings: "You didn't come here to accept an interview, so who are you acting for?"
I sighed: "As an alumni from Peking Uni, I often have to ponder many deep things. If children don't understand this, I can totally understand why."
Tan Yi looked at me like he was looking at a freak: "You've been possessed? Do you know where you came from?"
"Whence life comes, and where death goes, has always been a perplexing thought ever since the ancient times. If you are curious, sis-in-law can sit down to talk with you about this."
Tan Yi finally could not stand my Tang Sen form, so he made a fist, hinting he wanted to beat me up.
I immediately acknowledged my mistakes: "In fact, this poor Buddhist nun came from the East Tang Dynasty. She specializes in going to the Western Paradise to worship Buddha to seek her offspring……"
Fang Yuke laughed when he heard us being flippant, with a quiet and content appearance.
In the afternoon, I prepared to nap in the hotel for a moment. As to prevent from being as sleep dead as I was this morning, I especially made my phone ring every five minutes for my alarm clock.
Right after I had made my heart at ease, I splayed out on the bed, heaving a light knock on the door. I lay on the bed and pretended I hadn't heard it. The person at the door dedicated himself to knocking at the same frequency, almost as if he knew I was trying to sleep.
I angrily got up from the bed I had just been about to fuse into. When I opened the door, I saw the exquisite [3] Ru Ting standing in front of me full of grievances. I felt sympathy [4] and immediately apologized for opening the door late.
My heart faintly felt uneasy. I hadn't been with Fang Yuke for a day, so there was no time to investigate his past. I always liked to convince myself first. Dating should be viewed broadly and paied attention to. The past was something meant to be forgotten. How many romantic fiction novels had been written internationally. Even movies and dramas told us one thing: Confused lovers often could not obtain God's blessing, and would create unceasing doubt and jealousy. It would only lead to forcing the couple to part ways [5].
But I knew even more clearly that I would not go investigate because I was afraid. If the same third party had successfully seized the throne, I had no position to ask of his previous relationship with his old primary wife. Even if Fang Yuke didn't have any relationship with her, Ru Ting had a deep love towards him that everyone knew about. As for me, she robbed me of what I cherished [6], and I lacked the confidence. My rival was too strong. In each dangerous moment, I did not know if I could win to the ultimate end.
[1] Old ginger was hotter than young ginger: Older people have more experience (LOL) [2] Actually, Tan Yi calls Lin Lin 小可嫂嫂 which refers to: Xiao Ke's wife/sister-in-law. But I shortened it to sis-in-law because it's shorter and the mood is more evident LOL [3] 如花似玉: Literally means like a flower and jade. In this case, it means exquisite. [4] 怜香惜玉之心 (idiom) To have tender, protective feelings for the fairer sex. [5] 分道扬镳 (lit.) to take different roads and urge the horses on (idiom)/ Fig. To part ways

Mineral Resources Act
The government is reviewing the Mineral Resources Act (MRA) and intends to table amendments in fall 2015.
This is MANS' submission to the review consultation process. "Mine? Ours. Achieving the full benefits of Nova Scotia's mineral resources" was first submitted to the Department of Natural Resources in November 2013. It offers a comprehensive approach to improving the MRA in ways that would help the industry grow and create more jobs for Nova Scotians, especially in rural areas. It is consistent with the Ivany report's call for "a modern and responsive legislative framework to support and promote sustainable mineral resource management." We hope the Government will adopt all its recommendations in order to achieve the full benefits of our shared mineral resources.
Additionally, this letter addresses various issues raised by the government in its consultation survey and others which have arisen recently.

For many of us, buying organic snacks and toting recyclable grocery bags is the extent of our eco-conscious consumer habits. But for the extremely earth friendly, there's a eco-shopping trend gathering steam called BYOC (bring your own container), where shoppers bring glass jars and containers with them to market to fill with products like coffee, grains, olive oil and even natural household cleaners. Most items are available in bulk, without all that pesky packaging.
From an environmentalist standpoint BYOC makes sense. Less packaging means less cereal boxes in our overcrowded land fills, fewer plastic bottles lingering on for the next few millennia and tree-lined streets free of plastic bags entwined in their branches.
It could also lead to more healthful eating. Eco-friendly stores tend to lean toward natural products, so if you're shopping BYOC style, you're far more likely to have choose between two types of whole grain cereal than between Fruity Pebbles and Lucky Charms.
From a parental point of view, one of the real advantages to BYOC shopping could be the lack advertising aimed at your kids. Take a stroll down an aisle at your local grocery story and you're likely to see hundreds of cartoon characters hocking unhealthy food directly to your children. You can try to explain to a six-year-old that just because Dora the Explorer is featured on a box doesn't mean it has to go into the cart, but don't expect the conversation to go smoothly. …

It sounds like you haven't found the spare tire well, yet. Try looking at the holes in the front bumper. There are two that have bolt heads showing. The tire wrench fits those bolt heads, and when they are backed out, the bumper will fall down to about the 90 degree position. Look at the space.
There is enough room for our spare and for a bag of tire chains laying inside the wheel. Also, look at the floor of that compartment; there is a door for checking the pressure in the spare tire. The weight of the spare and the chains is needed there because the 4106 is light in the nose. When going over bad bridge abutments at 75 MPH or so, the nose will try to become airborne.
Try to get yourself a set of manuals and spend some time reading them. You need four for the bus and they are available with a little looking. They're very informative.
. . . I know where the well is, but I don't have a tire wrench yet to open it. I also found what I assume must be the inspection hatch, in the tool bay under the driver's seat. It was getting dark, so I didn't try to open it tonight. . . .
The light nose will be easily noticed when you go over an abutment that has a pretty good drop as you leave a bridge.
I'll look in my file cabinet tomorrow, I have an Operator's Manual I could scan to a .pdf for you. Tom's also right in that you need the Maintenance Manual, the Maintenance Manual Supplement, the Parts Book, a Detroit Diesel manual for the engine, and the Operator's Manual. I think you've already got 2/5, so you're on your way.
Are these manuals available online anywhere by chance?

CHICAGO (Reuters) - Initial tests have found five probable new cases of the rapidly spreading avian influenza on commercial poultry sites in Iowa, affecting an estimated 6 million birds, the state's agriculture department and the U.S. Department of Agriculture said on Monday.
Additional tests are pending to confirm the presence of the highly pathogenic H5N2, agency officials said. If these tests are positive, the state's tally of egg-laying chickens affected by the virus and needing to be culled would be more than 9.5 million birds, Iowa Secretary of Agriculture Bill Northey said on a conference call on Monday.
Iowa farms house, on average, an estimated 60 million egg-laying hens, Northey said.
"This is a big deal," Northey said. "Going forward, the question is are we done? Or does this mean more birds as we go forward."
Initial positive tests for H5 avian influenza were found in a commercial egg-laying farm with an estimated 1.7 million birds in Sioux County; a 250,000 pullet farm in Osceola County; and in two commercial egg-laying operations in O'Brien County with a total of 338,000 birds, the Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship said.
Northey said a fifth egg-laying farm in Sioux County with another 3.7 million chickens was identified on Monday as probably infected with the virus.
The five sites have been quarantined, state agriculture officials said. If the preliminary tests are confirmed, all birds on the properties will be euthanized.
Iowa, the top U.S. egg-producing state, said last week that a lethal strain of bird flu had been found in hens at an egg-laying facility near the city of Harris run by Sunrise Farms, an affiliate of Sonstegard Foods Company. The company said the facility houses 3.8 million hens.
Two bird flu strains have been discovered in the United States this year. The H5N2 strain is in Arkansas, Idaho, Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Montana, North Dakota, Oregon, South Dakota, Washington and Wisconsin. It has also been identified on farms in Ontario, Canada.
The H5N8 strain has been identified in California and also in Idaho, U.S. Department of Agriculture data showed.
The virus can kill nearly an entire infected flock within 48 hours. Millions of turkeys and chickens are in quarantine waiting to be culled and large flocks have already been destroyed.
Officials have said they believe wild birds are spreading the virus but they do not know how it is entering barns.
(This version of the story updates number of cases and adds comments from state agriculture secretary)

Yes I said Twitter.
140 characters, using #hashtag and @arrowbase, sharing photos, gifs, links, Twitter is like a Pandora's box. Yes Twitter is like a Pandora's box full of promising hope to build a strong presence and gain followers.
Twitter has become a keystone of social media strategy to get your brand visible out there in the social media world. Even for individual not only brands, it is a great networking and surprisingly accessible tool. You can respond to and interact with…well the queen of England…not sure she will reply to your tweet. But hey it is out there.
It is amazing how many people that you've never heard about, start to follow you after a piece of content, a retweet, or a comment that you post. It is key to turn a new follower into a benefit to your brand.
So let's shoot out the first three tips:
- Create your Twittername with @ and use adequate #hashtag(s) for your brand
- Twitter is a direct fast efficient way to follow and to be followed
- Never miss an opportunity to interact
Brands may decide to use Twitter as a customer service tool. In that case you better be fast and reactive. Airline companies do so. Take @AlaskanAir, the Alaskan Air Twitter team answers to any Tweet super fast which helps building a new channel for great customer support. And the content tone helps build the human touch image they want their customers to remember.
Creating a # associated to your brand is a great way to keep consistency in your content strategy. AlaskanAir created the #iflyalaskan. Bingo here you go it is a easy # to remember and to add on tweet that multiply your brand appearance.
I would emphasize as for any new social channel that you wish to have for your brand, always define prior the message that your audience will be responsive to. Never jump into a new social channel without knowing who is the community that you want to interact with.
Et voilà… #Digitaltipsfordigitaltribe

I found another reference to Negative Pleasure, this time over at Moonstone Comics, a great site that has been posting some amazing Elvira memorabilia for Halloween this year. Blogger Jamdin has even been posting some stories and covers from the DC's attempted revival of "House of Mystery," the aptly titled "Elvira's House of Mystery." I love Elvira. I dunno, all camp and cleavage aside, I think she's actually really funny...
Anyway, I'm trying to get back to the film reviews. I mean, I write those, right? I don't even know anymore, man. Actually, I've been on a pretty good run of seeing films I've mostly pretty much liked, and a few I've really actually liked, not all great wonderful masterpieces of transcendental cinema art, but still some decent flicks. "Pulse," for instance, is an alright albeit very lightweight kiddie horror flick from the late 1980s (it's also an unrelated but kind of amazing and socially relevant Japanese film by Kiyoshi Kurosawa, and an almost entirely irrelevant American remake of that Japanese film starring Kristen Bell from "Veronica Mars," who will never love me, Samm Levine from "Freaks & Geeks" and Rick Gonzalez from "Reaper," neither of whom will probably ever love me either, although I think I might be friends with Levine on Myspace. Excitement.).
Anyway, the 1988 "Pulse" is written and directed by Paul Golding, who had worked on "Medium Cool" (great film) and wrote the better-than-you-think-it-is "Beat Street" (according to imdb, he also made a short film with George Lucas in college). It has a fairly nonsensical plot about lightning striking a power station in the desert and turning the electricity in some suburban (Arizona? California?) house malevolent, because lightning can do shit like that (just ask the Flash). After the crazy lightning demons makes the homeowner go insane and kill his wife, then kills him, or he kills himself, or something, it moves across the street to the home of Cliff De Young (underrated actor from "Shock Treatment" and "the Hunger," also former singer of the band Clear Light) and Roxanne Hart ("the Verdict"), just in time for De Young's son Joey Lawrence (hot off the series "Gimme a Break" and on his way towards "Blossom") come visit for the summer (Joey's brother Matthew plays an across the street neighbor who looks inexplicably like Joey, and is kind of a slightly better actor).
So, yeah, the horror in this one mostly amounts to the TV turning itself on and off and some stuff catching on fire. Really, this movie doesn't have much of a plot, but it's stylishly mounted. Particularly of interest are the macro-photographed circuit details. We see the insides of the technology on various appliances in the family's ultra-modern (yet very beige) home, with little diodes melting into liquid metal and reforming in new shapes. It's just pretty cool, visually. The film looks good in general (the cinematography is by Peter Lyons Collister, who also shot "Halloween 4" [which I like, and which also looks really good] but also shot "He's My Girl," "Dunston Checks In," "Beautician and the Beast" and "Garfield- a Tale of Two Kitties," yow!) with the technocentric aspects of the plot intermingling with very earthen hued, subdued tones (again, lots of beige, which if you remember the 1980s, is not off point).
A strong visual sensibility is the primary reason to check this one out, and the decent pre-digital special effects, which have texture, dammit (CGI doesn't). But everything else is pretty lame. Joey Lawrence is terrible even for a kid actor, there's never any sense of being a real kid coming from his performance, he's obviously just a movie kid. De Young and Hart are good, although she is underused. I don't think this made it to theatres, or if it did, it wasn't widely released or promoted, because this is totally the kind of movie little 10 or 11 year old me and my dad would have gone to see circa 1988. Also, isn't 1988 a little late/early for a movie about the horrors of technology? I mean, you don't really see a home computer in this one, so it's not about the digitization of everyday life. Characters talk about a microwave oven but it's not really about the dangers of radiation. This is like basically an anti-electricity movie, like watch out for having cable TV and electric lights because they might go crazy some day and try to shock you? That's the problem with not really defining your terms. It can work if your threat is really threatening, like some kind of crazy unstoppable force, but in this film catastrophe is easily averted by just like basically going outside. Also, "Pulse" is kind of anti-water, because water conducts electricity, so it's on "their" side, not "ours." Maybe Golding lives in a shack in the woods or something. For me it wasn't relevant, although I also enjoyed the brief turn by Robert Romanus, who played Damone in "Fast Times at Ridgement High." Almost everything I know about sex, to this day, I learned from watching "Fast Times at Ridgemont High."
Up next, in hopefully far better written reviews than this one, the decent recent horror-comedies "Drive Thru" and "Reeker," plus a couple of low budget winners, Ray Dennis Steckler's "Hollywood Strangler Meets the Skid Row Slasher" and the surprisingly excellent "the Deadly Spawn," plus more issues of "Twisted Tales" and other indie horror comics from the 1980s. Until then, stay spooky...

The legs consist of steel structures filled with elastomeric pads, which are designed to take up the static and dynamic forces of the topside structure, as well as the horizontal forces due to open sea motions during installation, Trelleborg said.
In addition, the company said, deck support units are fixed on the barge that will transport the platform's topside to the offshore site to combat the destabilizing effects of adverse weather and sea conditions.
It has started fabrication of the legs and support units, which are scheduled for delivery in 2018. The project is due for completion in 2019.
TenneT contracted a consortium of Siemens and Petrofac to design, build and install the BorWin system.
Siemens will supply the HVDC transmission technology, while Petrofac will be responsible for the construction and installation of the platform.
Trelleborg marketing manager for engineered products Vincent Tan said: "BorWin 3 is only the third wind farm converter project in the world to utilise floatover technology, so it is a significant project not only for Trelleborg, but the industry too.
"For the installation of the 18,500 metric tonne topside onto the substructure, we have been contracted to supply six sets of leg mating units and the same amount of deck support units."

Pokemon Go has taken the world by storm but two teenagers searching for Pokemons could have been seriously injured in Florida after a homeowner shot at them when the latter mistook them as being burglars.
An investigation is underway about the shooting, confirmed by the Flagler County Sheriff's Office Facebook release on Sunday. Both teenagers were not hurt the report and the homeowner, a man, admitted that he shot at their car "after they refused to stop when challenged."

"After arriving at the incident location, deputies interviewed the homeowner and learned that he was awakened by a loud noise coming from outside of his home. He got up from bed and looked outside and noticed a small white car with its brake lights on in the roadway in front of his home," the police report stated about the Pokemon Go related incident.
"He armed himself with a handgun and went outside to investigate and as he approached the vehicle, he heard someone say something like "did you get anything." He told deputies that he then stepped in front of the vehicle and ordered the vehicle not to move. The homeowner stated the vehicle accelerated toward him causing him to flee the roadway. Because he believed the vehicle was attempting to strike him, he discharged his handgun several times at the vehicle. The vehicle sped away and was not located after a search of the area was conducted."
The report added that the police received a call from the parent of one of the teenagers the next day which confirmed the story of the teenagers were just playing Pokemon Go when they were shot at by the homeowner.
In the same press release, the police had advised "Pokemon Go Hunters" in their area to "use common sense, be alert at all times and stay aware of your surroundings. In law enforcement, we call this situational awareness" and "Do not drive or ride your bike, skateboard, or other device while interacting with the Pokémon Go app. You cannot do both safely at the same time."

Pokemon Go remains one of the hottest mobile games not only in the United States but the entire world. But users are advised to be more careful especially as they are exploring areas where danger, and not Pokemons, could be found.

ROBERT SOUTHEY became a prolific and successful writer and poet from fairly unpromising beginnings. Brought up by an eccentric aunt, he was expelled from Westminster for writing an essay on the evils of flogging. But he got to Oxford where he met and formed a lifelong association with Coleridge.
One of Southey's many virtues is that he was never afraid of hard work. And so even after he'd become poet laureate he found the time to write biographies of Nelson and Wesley. His poetry reflects the styles of the 19th century. He loved broad themes and wrote with great humanity.
From The Curse of Kehama by Robert Southey
They sin who tell us Love can die,
With life all other passions fly,
All others are but vanity.
In heaven Ambition cannot dwell,
Nor Avarice in the vaults of hell;
Earthly these passions of the earth,
They perish where they had their birth.
But Love is indestructible:
Its holy flame for ever burneth,
From heaven it came, to heaven returneth.
Too oft on earth a troubled guest,
At times deceived, at times oppressed,
It here is tried and purified,
Then hath in heaven its perfect rest:
It soweth here with toil and care,
But the harvest-time of Love is there.
From The Centuries' Poetry (Pelican).

Strife in his Orders intended for peace
Strife in his Orders intended for peace,
egos as high as the sky ,
splits those guided should have asided,
Francis himself would rather we die.
Peace does not reign as much in the families of St. Francis these days as testified to by the many changes and divisions within these groups. These divisions form among people, including the laity, usually for simple reasons; little differences of opinion, unworthy of more than passing notice. Little things become big things; molehills become mountains if we are not attentive and careful. So we all need to do all we can to promote peace and unity, as did St. Francis.
Pride is the greatest weapon of the evil one, and it causes people to do terrible things to each other. Satan uses it against us easily simply by bringing us to promote ourselves and our opinions in all things. It does not take much to move us in that direction. Most of us love ourselves a great deal. So if we do not consciously focus on the need for humility, we may easily become prideful and destroy the good works of God and others around us.
If we diminish ourselves and consider others to be wiser and better than ourselves we can avoid these things. If we surrender our own wills to those of others, always seeking the Divine Will in all things, we surely can avoid fracturing the tender relations needed to hold organizations and people together. Splits are caused by people seeking their own will. They decide how things are to be, even when in organizations that have existed for years. The simple fact is that in our decisions we can force change that separates and divides rather than unites. Unity requires recognizing we are one cog in the wheel and that we must remain united to others to turn the wheels of progress, even spiritual growth and progress in the Church. Let us all be resolved to pray and work for unity and peace in all of our relations but especially the Orders of St. Francis, for that is what he would surely want. He would rather we die than that we sin against pride, for pride caused the first fall and it is still causing that among us today.

Full Results | Race VideosAliyah Taylor had a great open to her individual season at the Lenape Girls Invitational on Saturday when she set two meet records and career bests. The Rancocas Valley junior won the 100 meter dash with a time of 11.95 NJ#1 destroying the old record of 12.4h set by Nia Lawrence of Pemberton Twp in 2013. She then doubled back to win the 200 meter recording a 24.83 NJ#1 to take down Aliya Harrison's meet standard of 24.92 from last year. Both of Taylor's times lead the state so far this season. She is coming off a very strong indoor campaign where she won the Meet of Champions 200 meter with a time of 24.94 as well as the 400 meter at Eastern States Championships running 55.21. In both of those Lenape Invitational events Our Lady of Mercy Academy's Iyanla Kollock placed second running 12.30 NJ#2 and 25.52 NJ#3. She is now second all-time for the 100 meter and fourth all-time for the 200 meter in this meet's history. Also at this meet...Sydney Coppolino of Sterling showed off her athleticism winning the 400 meter hurdles and placing second in the 1600 meter run. Her 400 meter hurdle time of 1:06.43 is NJ#5 this season, she already set the meet record last year running 1:04.28. Her double back in the 1600 meter led to a second place time of 5:13.87 NJ#2. The winner of the 1600 meter run was the new state leader Kara Bonner of Shawnee who ran 5:12.20 NJ#1, she now ranks fourth all-time in meet history. Sterling's Janell Rowe won the triple jump with a mark of 36-5.5 NJ#3. In the shot put Kiey'Nay'Ja Hunley of Pennsauken threw 38-10.5 NJ#5, that is a new school record. You can watch all the mentioned races and more right here on the meet page.

I love photographing people expressing themselves, and there are few events where people are more free to express themselves than pride parades. This series of photographs is from a pride festival I went to in Salt Lake City, Utah. Pride has a special significance there. The dominance of the Mormon church makes being gay, bisexual, or any other non-heterosexual sexual orientation arduous. The year I attended, a group of Mormons called Mormons Building Bridges walked in the parade for the first time ever.

At Crampton we have the Rainbow Room which is part of the school's Inclusion and PSHCE (Personal, Social and Health and Citizenship Education) provision. Its purpose is to promote and support children's social and emotional development. There is much research evidence that children learn best when they have a sense of emotional wellbeing, good self-esteem and a feeling of belonging to their school community. The Rainbow Room provides children with the opportunity to develop their emotional literacy and communication skills, and so develop resilience. The Rainbow Room is a place of learning.
The ethos of the Rainbow Room is drawn from the principles of nurture groups (www.nurturegroups.org and Southwark Pupil Development Centres (www.southwarkpdc.org ) which are adapted to suit the particular needs of the children at Crampton School. They include:
Which children attend the Rainbow Room?
It is envisaged that at some time during their time at Crampton School most children will benefit from attending the Rainbow Room at one time or another. They will work with other children and an adult in a group of 4 or 5, or individually for 30 – 40 minutes per week. Groups are made up of a balanced cross-section of personalities, including positive role models.
A smaller number of children may be targeted because of particular concerns. These children are identified through discussion with teachers, support staff and parents/carers. These targeted children may attend sessions in the Rainbow Room for more specific reasons, for example:
The Rainbow Room is part of the School's regular PSHCE and Inclusion provision and parents/carers will not normally be notified when their child is taking part in Rainbow Room sessions.
If school staff have a particular concern or worry about a child this is normally shared and discussed with parents/carers as soon as possible.
The School is always willing to discuss any concerns or worries parents/carers may have about their child's attendance at Rainbow Room sessions.
Activities in the Rainbow Room
Children take part in activities in the Rainbow Room that are designed to:
Do children miss important class work when they attend the Rainbow Room?
When children join any small group activities outside the classroom with additional adults the school will always try to minimise any impact on learning.
Rainbow Room sessions do not normally take place at times when the children are learning literacy or numeracy, or when special activities are taking place in their class.
Children's comments about the Rainbow Room
"It helps me feel better."
"I feel safe here."
"I come here to tell you what I want to tell you."
"It helps me with playing and sharing."
"I can get things clearer in my head."
"When I'm angry you help me."
"If someone needs help they can come and tell you what's going on."
"When we are talking I can be myself."
"I love that room because I have fun in here and I feel safe."

Alabama and Tennessee among leaders for Georgia's No. 1 running back
If Trey Sermon, the state of Georgia's No. 1 running back prospect for next year, had to pick his five favorite colleges today, two SEC schools would make the cut.
"Well, I know for a fact that Tennessee and Ohio State and Alabama, they're interested in me," Sermon said. "I'm still really re-evaluating all of the schools so that I can make sure that, if I was to release my Top 5 it would be right for me."
When asked if there was a coach who he has a close relationship with, Sermon was quick to name Tennessee running backs coach Robert Gillespie.
The junior running back also revealed he "may visit Tennessee this weekend" for its game against South Carolina.
The 4-star prospect from Sprayberry High School has a special blend of size, speed and agility that could make him a star at the next level.
Fans looking for a junior-year highlight reel might be disappointed, however. Sermon sustained an injury in his team's second game and has missed the rest of this season. The 6-foot-1, 205-pounder appears to be well on his way to a full recovery, though, and his coach said the injury highlighted Sermon's toughness.
"It hurt him, and we thought at the time, both us, our trainer and the doctors thought it was a bruised muscle in his back," Sprayberry coach Billy Shackelford said. "He kind of limped around and hobbled around for a few weeks, and the medical team advised us to just take it easy on him and that he'd be able to play based on how he'd handle the pain. To tell you a little about his toughness, he played the next two games with a broken back."
There likely won't be much competition from UGA, either. Sermon said he hasn't heard much from the in-state program in a while.
Some consider Sermon the top running back prospect in the state of Georgia, regardless of class. Tennessee coach Butch Jones has recruited Georgia prospects well — seven signees in the 2015 class and two already committed for 2016 — and it appears he is making an effort at one of the state's best.
Sermon has been rated as No. 5 prospect in the state of Georgia for the Class of 2017.

The event was hosted by both Sweet Science and Sawchuk Jewelers. Hilliard Darby High School was the venue. It was a great show with both veterans and novices alike. I'm finding more and more interesting the variety of shots I can get just sitting on my knees at the side of a boxing ring.

text: Take the Vice Squad, the Avengers and the Crass singer from Penis Envy and play them all loud at the same time. Get people who are into sick stuff like old AmRep shit to play the music. Let the singer be more dramatic and evil than most things from the past 20 years. Make a recording loud and not as shitty as any of the previous things mentioned. This sounds like the feeling of accidentally stepping on a bare wire with a full 440 volts running through it. REAL PUNK ROCK!

Comments about Frigidaire 1.1 Cu. Ft. Countertop Microwave:
This is a great microwave and perfect for a smaller space. Bought an over the stove microwave but didn't realize that we would have to cut out cabinets in order to install it and my old microwave was about as big as the over the stove one. So I decided to go smaller and keep the microwave on the counter and keep my cabinet space too. This has worked out great because it fits my square dinner plates perfectly. Just the right size!

Comments about Frigidaire 1.1 Cu. Ft. Countertop Microwave:
This is a great microwave. It heats food nice and evenly in a short amount of time. It is sleek looking and not an eyesore like some other microwaves. It is somewhat large which can be a good or a bad thing. It will take up a bit of counter space, but it can fit a good amount of food easily. It is easy to clean and will not need cleaned often if it is properly taken care of.
This product performs great. It heats food evenly and quickly.
This microwave comes with several useful settings like a defroster, a timer, and popcorn settings.
Ease of Cleaning
This is fairly easy to clean if you take care of it.
Ease of Use
This is very easy to use. It's as easy as pushing a button. This settings are all very straight forward.
This product is very durable and will not break as long as it is properly taken care of.
This microwave has a very nice and sleek design, but it is a little bit large and will take up space on a counter.
Comments about Frigidaire 1.1 Cu. Ft. Countertop Microwave:
We have this microwave in our apartment and I really like it. I love the stainless steel look. I think it looks really classy. It works really well. It heats things up quickly and doesn't dry the food out. It has all your normal functions. You can defrost, do popcorn, use a timer, etc. I wipe mine out after each use to keep it looking clean and classy. It has held up great and I have no complaints on it.
It does a great job at heating up food and defrosting food. I am also a big fan of the popcorn popping button.
It has a large variety of features you can use to fit your needs. It also has a timer you can use when cooking other places.
Ease of Cleaning
I wipe mine out after each use. The tray is also removable to make that easier to clean.
Ease of Use
It is really easy to navigate and figure out how to use this machine.
We have had this machine for almost two years and it has had no problems. It is holding up great!
I love the design. It looks really classy with the stainless steel.
Comments about Frigidaire 1.1 Cu. Ft. Countertop Microwave:
This is a great microwave that I have used for over a year now. The microwave in incredibly powerful and it takes a lot less time to cook food compared to my old model. The plate inside spins the food just like other microwaves but the difference is the sheer cooking power of this machine. The microwave does not take up a lot of space either. I put it in the corner of a shelf in my kitchen. The design matches the refrigerator which is a nice bonus. The microwave does not cost a lot of money either compared to similar brands. The microwave is incredibly easy to clean too as long as you wipe it down after every use. The microwave does not use a lot of power either. I think it qualifies as energy efficient. The microwave is built to last! I take good care of mine but I can see myself owning this one for life without need of replacement. The best aspect of the microwave which I cannot state enough is how well it cooks the food! The other features are welcome bonuses.

Issue #13
If I was asked to draw, say, President Bush, there are certain parameters I'd have to stick to or you wouldn't get who it was that I was drawing. If I was drawing Charlie Brown I couldn't stray far off model before he looked like some young cancer patient. Try drawing Dick Tracy without painfully copying his face line for line from a Chester Gould drawing– he won't look much like the guy. Ditto with Archie Andrews (although the Chester Gould reference isn't the way to go with him).
The point I'm getting at is that these are people and characters with very specific visuals. If you interpret– if you deviate– you're lost.
Now try Bruce Wayne.
Nothing specific comes to mind.
After 60 plus years, Batman's alter ego (or is Batman Bruce Wayne's alter ego? I always get that confused) has never settled on an iconic, specific face. Who looks like Bruce Wayne?
Years ago, fans were all bent out of shape when Michael ("Mr. Mom") Keaton landed the role of Batman. "He's too short." fans protested, "He doesn't look like Bruce Wayne" others said.
Well, who does?
In the realm of superhero comics, very few characters have specific faces. There was a while where this wasn't the case. When I was drawing the "Amazing Spider-Man," editor Jim
Salicrup sent along a page of photocopies with a John Romita drawn Peter Parker and Mary Jane Watson. It was a number of head shots– showing a range of expressions and whatnot. I learned not to define Peter Parker's cheekbones and to remember MJ's arched eyebrows, dimples and the cleft in her chin. There was a time when "Romita's Raiders" (and the "Jazzy" one himself) routinely redrew faces which were deemed "off model" in Marvel comics of all sorts. Hell, Johnny Romita even did corrections on faces drawn by Jack Kirby of Captain America– a character Jack himself created! These days– it seems– anything goes and creators seem more concerned with "putting their stamp" on a character than they are with making that character actually look like that character!
A bit of a digression here– in the "Spider-Man" movie, Tobey Maguire played the lead character and the traditional Peter Parker haircut was ditched for a standard Steve Rogers "Ken doll" cut. I found that a bit annoying– more times than not, Peter's distinctive doo is ditched for the "Ken doll" cut when Spider-Man's in a cartoon or TV show– but in the extra footage that came along with the DVD release, Tobey Maguire is sitting around chatting and his hair is swept back in the tried and true Peter Parker fashion and– somehow– he looks less like Peter Parker than he did in the movie! I'll be damned if I can figure that one out!
For years Fawcett's Captain Marvel (later acquired by DC comics) was one of the few characters who had a distinctive face, which was indistinguishable from all other characters. These days, the guy is almost unrecognizable. He hasn't looked like Captain Marvel in years (and he hasn't acted like Captain Marvel for half a century– bit I'm digressing…)
Look at "Sin City," most specifically Marv. Look at his distinctive silhouette. You can cast his shadow on a brick wall and it's immediately recognizable. Try doing that with Bruce Wayne or even Superman– and it's not so apparent.
So, who cares? And what's the point?
The point is that making these characters distinctive and iconic makes them easier to recognize. Batman's shadow cast over a villain makes an effective cover– Superman's shadow doesn't. If Bruce Wayne had a distinctive, specific face, readers would immediately recognize him when he appeared in a panel or entered a room. In a crowd scene you can pick out Commissioner Gordon, but not Bruce Wayne, and that's messed up! There are times when Mary Jane Watson appears in a panel or two without being identified and she's indistinguishable from any other female in the book. Hell, there are times that the colorists don't know it's her because the lettering is added later, done on computer, and the artist hasn't drawn her "on model" enough to make MJ look like MJ to them, the guys working on the book!
But wouldn't keeping characters "on model" restrict the artists' creative freedom?
I dunno. Is it too much to ask that an artist doing a caricature of George W. Bush make it look like George W. Bush? Is it that restrictive to ask an artist make the character they're drawing identifiable? Shouldn't there be something about these characters that makes it easier for us, the readers, to keep track of who's who?
I dunno.
I can see both sides, I guess. If you're going to hire Jim Lee to draw Batman, you want to see his Batman, not Jim trying to draw like Dick Sprang or Jerry Robinson or Bob Kane or whoever else has been deemed to have drawn the definitive dark night detective. On the other hand, Captain Marvel hasn't looked like Captain Marvel in years! The thing is, it's supposed to be the same guy! It's not as though he's supposed to be somebody else!
In "Batman: Year One," artist David Mazzucchelli based Bruce Wayne on a young Gregory Peck. In "Kingdom Come," years later, Alex Ross seemed to have one the same, using an older Gregory Peck as his model, to begin with, but later in the book he looked like another actor entirely. Had all artists drawn their best Gregory Peck when they drew Bruce wayne maybe, just maybe, you'd be able to pick him out of a crowd when he walked into a room.
And don't get me started on the Thing. There was a time– a long time– when Ben Grimm was shorter than Reed Richards! Jack Kirby made the Thing as a little, cigar-chomping tough guy, but these days you're more likely to find him towering over basketball centers than just shy of 5'9″.
I'm not saying that I want to see cookie-cutter artists forever trying to imitate each other or the return of Romita's Raiders, redrawing faces whenever somebody strays a bit far from the established models, but it would be nice to see these characters be at least moderately recognizable.
Besides, I miss MJ's dimples.
But maybe it's just me.
