Shall we continue the discussion from the orchestrator vs composer thread?
Mahler, what are your \"very serious concerns over the future of music if composers continue to write this sort of music?\"
look, let\'s be honest, I\'ve never met anyone (really... never) that likes to throw on a nice afternoon of Webern with some tea..... or Shoenberg.... or John Cage.... or many other pieces written in the 20th century. I had a theory teacher once say music should be \"aesthetically pleasing\", which in my humble opinion and the opinion of pretty much 99.9% of the rest of the world, Atonal music is not. BUT, if it were not for the far out experiments of such composers, we never would have discovered many of those sounds. To me it\'s part of a pallette of colors to choose from. What would the X-files sound track be without a prepared piano? I think what is really cool is when those elments are worked to the point that while they may be \"atonal\" or more specific \"serial\", they sound and function tonally. That makes the piece interesting as far as I\'m concerned. This is the way music evolves.
Take for example the jews harp. I\'m not gonna throw a solo jews harp CD in the player and jam out for the afternoon...however, I might throw one in for 15 minutes to hear some specifics about the instrument, then take the idea and translate it into a bigger piece, at which point this really odd instrument sound pretty cool, for a few bars. It\'s the evolution of music, and I applaud those who have gone before and will come after who want to be experiemental. It\'s like medical research... someone\'s got to experiment... doesn\'t mean it\'s going to become the norm... but it\'s got to be done [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img] That\'s my 2 cents.
another example is the way ethnic music has made it\'s way into western music. I don\'t spend my afternoon listening to tribal drums, but they sure are a nice edition to the lion king.....
oops, I meant Addition, not Edition [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]
And you meant \"jaw harp\", not \"jews harp\". (I know, I know. But you don\'t want to be going in to a bar in the Bronx, playing some beautiful impressionistic music, then telling a very large African American fellow that it\'s called \'Golliwog\'s Cakewalk\' either.)Originally posted by J. Whaley:

Back to ATONAL music. None of my business. Each to his own. Huge contribution. And a load of codswallop to boot.
I doubt that film composers would have \'missed\' certain \'sound FX\' even if such towering geniuses such as Cage hadn\'t stretched the limits of serious music (and the patience of all sane people), by throwing hammers at pianos or playing the bloody radio, or sitting in front of a piano doing not much of anything, when he could have got a proper job instead.
The thing I like most about \'experimental\' music is that it\'s right there in the program notes: \"You are about to listen to a bunch of crap, but you might want to pretend you enjoy it when you\'re drinking a cocktail and sneering at the Dolly Parton fans who live in the trailer next door.\"
I have an Atonal story: I\'ll try to keep it short (but no promises), and all you pee-paw fans can hurl abuse and pick holes in it afterwards.
I had to play in a guitar competition once (but don\'t get me started on that). I had to play a \'composition\' written by one of the judges. To say this thing was a piece of s h i t is to underestimate the odor produced by really bad music.
I couldn\'t play it. I hated it. I wanted to murder it. I wanted to set fire to it and laugh like a madman. It was all over the place. I had no idea so many little dots could fit on a page. The time signature changed constantly and everything was tied in some way to everything else. My professor thought I \"couldn\'t understand it\". Poor me. It was beyond my severely limited intellectual inventory.
Instead of practising, I decide to give it a \"Julian Bream\" (I swayed this way and that. I made faces like I was eating a sour plum. I almost fell off my chair, so deeply was my psyche tied to this music.)
I made it all up. Everything. I made it all up.
After the \'performance\', the composer announced to the audience (someone\'s granny and her dog, if I remember correctly) that I had \"walked the fine line between the written music and extemporization\". He even wrote it down (although from the expression on his face, I think the old granny\'s dog may have twigged to what was going on).
I rushed into the pub afterwards (as one does after a performance so bold) to dance and sing and poke fun at all the Ping-pongers and I waved my little piece of paper at them in triumph.
\"He didn\'t say you performed it perfectly\" was the general answer around the pub (I\'ll admit that my dancing was sub-par).
When I was at college, talented people were thrown out for writing music, while phoneys garnered the acclaim and the arts council grants.
There is no such thing as atonality. It is a con. It is more of a religion or a belief system than a musical style. It simply does not exist.
Oscar Wilde said of \'books\' (and I paraphrase because I\'m too lazy to do any research): \"There is no such thing as a moral or an immoral book. Books are either well-written or badly written. That is all.\" (sorry Oscar)
The same goes for music (kind of). A bunch of phonies hijacked \'serious\' music because all the good composers got killed in the second world war.
A great composer can take any ridiculous style or trend or club and make something wonderful out of it. I just hope that this ridiculous pseudo-intellectual fraud game no longer prevails in education, but I fear that there are probably still powerful, untalented nitwits who use it as a baseball bat with which to club the talent out of others.
By the way. The composer who wrote the piece I had to play could write some nice stuff. I don\'t know what he was playing at with that grabage. I have to assume that he got a nice grant for it, wrote it in five minutes, then went to the pub (as one does when money pours down from heaven).
I see atonal music as pretty much just orchestral heavy metal that replaces screaming and distorted electric guitars with tonal dissonance. It takes quite a while to get used to it, but once you do the dissonance sounds brilliant and very aesthetically pleasing. It\'s like the effect of brilliant orchestration, a great sound and harmony.
But, that is free atonal. 12 tone is a different animal altogether, it generally forces not only atonal harmony but atonal melody and counterpoint etc. Perhaps it\'s also unnatural over stucturing but you can get used to it. I rather like Schoenberg and Goldsmith\'s 12 tone Planet of the Apes film score plus Berg\'s Violin Concerto. And I\'m afraid that to make atonal look bad you are going to have to use more than one example, there is a lot of **** in every type of music [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img] And also, is your problem with all atonal music or just 12 tone? It might be true that you really just don\'t get it and not that it\'s bad. That doesn\'t make you stupid or musically inferia, just different or just that you haven\'t acquired a taste for it yet. Some people just simply need a tonal centre to enjoy music. No one is born understanding atonal music anyway. Perhaps you are some what correct about there being frauds, simply writing in 12 tone makes you look good. And writing in older styles makes you look cliched even if you aren\'t. Never the less, that doesn\'t mean that 12 tone is always crap.
I find Shoenberg immensely pleasing to listen to. 99.9% of the rest of the word think the Back Street Boy are pretty cool...
Sorry, I meant to say Kool.
Anyone interested in a less \"severe\" serial/atonal experience should check out Alban Berg\'s \"Lyric Suite\" (the string quartet, as opposed to the later full-blown orchestral piece). Parts of it sound downright sweet.
I\'m not sure whether or not I would consider \"atonal\" music to be \"unpleasant\" to listen to. I think that if the majority of the population had been listening to atonal music over the past few centuries, the average listener might hear tonal compositions and say \"Yuck!\". I\'m a fan of writing and experimenting with really dissonant forms of composition and I enjoy writing tonal compositions just as much. Using different techniques in composition can be fun, and you can get some very interesting and sometimes unexpected results. I maintain that if the creativity and soul behind the music is there, I think that will be conveyed to the listener regardless of whether it is a tonal composition or not. Whether or not the listener accepts more adventurous forms of composition perhaps depends on how much the listener knows about the composition/technique itself. But then again, does the average listener really need to have a degree in composition to be able to understand the music?
I for one, have heard a number of modern compositions that are atonal in nature that absolutely blew me away technically and emotionally. Others have a lot going for them on the technical side but do very little for me as a listener other than make my ears hurt. Whether or not I would venture into calling them music as opposed to a texture of sound is a hard call to make. I guess that poses the question: \"What is music?\"
Kind of like determining what is \"art\". An amazing painting with detail and colour so vivid that you would swear that the subjects are real? Or a red dot in the middle of a giant black background. Or, dead and decomposing rabbits hanging from string as our super Canadian government felt compelled to provide a grant for a while back. Try seeing how many people flee your house with THAT hanging on your wall.
I\'d go for the red dot (because I thought you were \'leading\' with the \'vivid\' one) [img]images/icons/wink.gif[/img]Originally posted by Synth2k:

I was working on a dead rabbit piece myself, but I just don\'t have the talent to pull it off.
We have a few of those in the UK. Half a cow in formaldahyde (brilliant, stunning, polymesmeric, haggis-like in conception but ultimately quintessentially bovine). A pile of bricks (ground-breaking).
My only concern(s): Don\'t give them my hard-earned sheckles and keep them away from educational establishments. Unfortunately, if you don\'t do the former, you get the latter.

One of my friends had her 31st birthday back in June. The four of us were out at dinner, having just seen some truly awful movie (most likely Step Up: Revolution) and the conversation turned to age and how awful it was to be 31. Really? I didn't think 31 was all that bad. It was just another year.
Pretty sure 32 will be the same as 31. Anyway. Remember these from last year? No? Well, allow me to refresh your memory:
1) Finish the editing for Vanishing. Not only was I going to finish that, I was going to finish the edits on the Shadowdemon trilogy and Iron Jewel. For the most part, I succeeded. I finished edits on both Shadowhunter and Iron Jewel. I haven't even started edits on Shadowwarrior, but whatever. I completed three additional manuscripts plus a short story. And while yes, I did succeed on my initial goal of finishing the edits for Vanishing, I'm not completely satisfied with it. Still. A win is a win, even if that win is a result of incompetent replacement refs.
2) Take better care of myself. So…this is sort of a fail. I did better, for a while. That's usually the case when people make some sort of body/diet/health promise to themselves, isn't it? The BF and I were talking a few weeks back, and we realized we hadn't been on a single hike this past summer. Which is a crying shame, considering how many beautiful (and easy) hikes there are around here, and the weather this summer was better than the previous one. I'm still going to give myself a failing grade for this one.
3) Find a new job. Again with the fail. This one, however, is sort of beyond my control. I'm doing the best with what I've got, but the fact of the matter is, I've got a specialized skill set when it comes to human resources, and those niche positions aren't as prevalent as a basic generalist or even a specialist position. Not to mention the job market still sucks balls.
4) Find representation. I wonder if I ought to just facepalm it for the rest of this post, because, yeah, mark another fail in this column, too. Which isn't really fair. I've actually met with more success this year than I'd anticipated, and in light of my recent revelation an agent may not be necessary at this stage of the game, I don't feel too badly about it. I do think, had I put more work into it, I could have had more interest at this point. On the other hand, I took first place in one contest, second in another, and received several requests for fulls and partials from pitch contests. Not too shabby for my first year of navigating the publishing waters, if I do say so myself.
5) Actually do some good. Oh lord, here's the major facepalm. All I did this year was make a few loans to Kiva. That's it. So we're not even going to get into this.
Now for next year's goals:
1) Complete the first draft of The Sparrowwood Sessions. I need a different challenge. While War Heroes was, ultimately, a story about love, it wasn't a romance. And I loved the challenge of it. Who knew it was possible to fall in love with characters in a mere 11,000 words? But I did. And I'm really looking forward to getting to know them better.
2) Secure a publishing contract. Lofty, certainly, especially on the heels of my previous goal of finding representation. Ultimately, though, I think this one is much more doable.
3) Finish Roberto Bolano's 2666. I read the first part almost two years ago. I think it's about time I finish the other four parts, don't you?
4) Buy my first house. This has always been the BF's goal more than mine (I don't particularly care where I live, as long as the roof doesn't leak and there's heat), but he's tired of renting. So we've been saving, and saving, and while we'd initially hoped we'd have enough to put a down payment on a place this year, when our lease on our old place ran out in July, we ended up moving into a cheaper place instead. BF wants to buy when our lease runs out. Depending on how things shape up, money-wise, over the next few months, it could be another six months to a year beyond his end date. We'll see. It'd be nice to say this time next year I'm typing my blog posts from the comfort of my own living room that I bought, but we'll have to see.
There you have it. My goals for birthday number 32. I've got until birthday number 33 to make them happen. We'll see if the next few months bring on the epic fail or the epic win.

New Kids on the Block - Step by Step
YouTube Link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ziDtEPCFM0I
While New Edition may be considered the first Boy Band, the template for the stereotypical Boy Bands to follow would be based on the New Kids on the Block. New Edition was sugary pop sweetness, but the New Kids on the Block were a young girl sensation.
They image was plastered all over teen magazines, Trapper Keepers, lunch boxes, T-Shirts, bed sheets, buttons, shoes, shoes laces, birthday cakes, tooth brushes, underwear, and just about anything you can put an image on. They were the band that every girl and some boys in second to seventh grade loved. You weren't cool if you didn't go to the NKOTB show when they came to your local civic center.
This video is from the height of their popularity as you can tell from all the screaming girls. They had already shot to the top with their first super single You Got It (The Right Stuff). Although it was just called The Right Stuff on the album, they changed the single because Vanessa Williams had a hit earlier that year with the same name.
The video and the song are emblematic of the cheesiness and narcissism of the Boy Band. Synchronized dance moves and thousands of girls screaming and begging just to closer to their favorite member. Donnie was the bad boy, Joey was the baby face, Jordan was the pretty boy, Danny was the ugly one, and Jonathan was the gay one.

text: So I was in Barneys today and I saw two spies I had never seen/heard of before (maybe just because I'm out of the loop lately on bags.) They were like puffy leather ... like those ugly winter jackets ... there was a green and a red. They were SUPER soft though. There was a little patch on the side too. I don't think I liked them very much. Have any of you seen them too? What do you all think?

Who does not love dogs, whether it is a small cute pug to a fierce German Shepard. They are not just human's best friends but their protectors as well. We all rely on the sniffer dogs at the airports, the dogs that police carry to detect crimes and criminal, the dogs that help sniff out bombs to the guard dogs at homes which help owners know dangers beforehand.
One of the sad realities of the lives of these canines is that as they grow old, they are retired from service. With no utility for them, the general practise was euthanization. However, for the first time, the country is looking at rehabilitating these loveable canines.
These are the most well trained dogs in the country and most well behaved as well. These canines have been brought up under army training so you can imaging the discipline that may practice. This is our chance to re-home these bravehearts who have served our nation throughout their entire lives.
Come to Select Citywalk Mall in Saket (New Delhi) on the 5th and 6th of November to witness these canines being given a home. In case you are a pet lover and looking to adopt, there would not be a better opportunity to adopt a lovely pet.

China plans to mine the moon for its large deposits of Helium-3, a rare substance that can give enough power for 10,000 years and solve Earth's energy crisis. (Photo : Reuters)
Chinese scientists have announced plans to mine the moon for its rare substance called Helium-3, which is enough to provide energy for nearly 10,000 years and solve the Earth's energy crisis, according to a report by the Huffington Post UK.
According to the report, China's claim was based on tests showing that huge deposits of the substance were found on the moon that can be used as fuel for clean nuclear fusion reactors.
An article published by PBS.org said that China views space as a potential source of energy security and this includes the moon, which has an abundant supply of Helium-3, a light and non-radioactive fusion fuel that cannot be found on Earth.
It is estimated that there are at least 1.1 million metric tons of Helium-3 on the lunar surface to supply human energy needs for up to 10,000 years, the article said.
China is highly aware that it would be a huge strategic advantage if it secures access first to Helium-3, as the U.S., through the Silicon Valley, also expressed interest in it, driven by the $30-million Google Lunar XPRIZE.
For billions of years, solar winds containing Helium-3 bombarded the moon, and since it has no atmosphere, the isotope freely hit its surface and bonded with the dust.
The dusts, which contain Helium-3, can be mined and extracted by heating it to 600 degrees, China claimed. The dust will then be shipped back to Earth where the precious fuel can be extracted.
As a fuel source, Helium-3, considered by scientists to be a "miracle fuel," has many advantages. It is an ideal fuel for clean fusion reactors because it is non-radioactive and can provide a powerful energy source even in small quantities.
It is estimated that 40 tons of the substance could power the entire United States for a whole year, as cited in a report by The Mail Online.
The report said that researchers in the U.S. have started calculating the cost for Helium-3 mining, while China has not announced plans to set up a mining colony on the moon.
Mining Helium-3 is considered an economically viable plan as each ton of the rare substance has an estimated value of $3 billion, while the total R&D cost for building a fusion plant and creating the necessary spacecraft would cost $20 billion.

tory burch gold flats on sale the Vols were running, they'd pass--and vice versa. By the time this clock-killing, momentum-stifling chess match on grass ended, Tennessee dinked and dunked its way down the field in 13 plays--the longest play going for 14 yards, the touchdown-clinching pass at that.The Vols would score two more touchdowns in the fourth--and Utah State would get on the board as well following a 38-yard gain on an end-around by Jojo Natson--and a 37-yard pass from Keeton on the next play to wide receiver Hunter Sharp.In sum, the Aggies were outplayed from start to finish in every phase of the game. On offense, Keeton threw for 144 yards on 18-of-35 passing at

P-287 - Is second line aflibercept and FOLFIRI a tolerable and useful down-staging schedule in Ras mutant advanced colorectal cancer in a real world environ...

|Annals of Oncology (2015) 26 (suppl_4): 1-100. 10.1093/annonc/mdv233
A. Vinayan1, R. Glynne-Jones2, K. Ocwzarczyk1, M. Harrison1, K. Kanthilal1
In a phase III randomized trial [1], aflibercept added to FOLFIRI significantly improved overall survival (OS) in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) previously treated with oxaliplatin compared to FOLFIRI alone. The Cancer Drug Fund in 2014 approved the use of aflibercept in the UK, under this indication. Overall response rate (ORR) was noted to be doubled suggesting that the regimen could be a useful down-staging treatment option for selected patients with RAS mutations. This advantage should be balanced against increased chemotherapy toxicity. More than 25% of patients discontinued treatment due to adverse effects (AE) (and a further 13.6% by patients' choice) with the majority of AE occurring in the first 3 courses.
We carried out a single center, retrospective analysis of the use of aflibercept with FOLFIRI second line after treatment with oxaliplatin to determine the ORR, and frequency and causes for early versus late aflibercept discontinuation in an unselected patient population.
Between June 2013 and December 2014, 51 patients were treated in our center with aflibercept and FOLFIRI as second line. Median patient age was 62 (range 31-81) with the majority of patients being ECOG performance status (PS) 0 or 1. First line chemotherapy had been was administered in an adjuvant setting in 35% of patients. 74% of patients treated with aflibercept had liver metastases. RAS mutation status was available in 40% of patients.
Median number of aflibercept cycles administered per patient was 5 (range 1-21) with 21/51 (44%) patients receiving less than 4 cycles of treatment. Dose reduction was carried out in 29% (15/51) patients and treatment delays occurred in 73% (37/51) patients.
There were no significant differences in age, PS, site of primary, number of metastatic sites, prior chemotherapy including prior treatment with bevacizumab and pelvic radiotherapy between patients who discontinued treatment early (<4 cycles) versus all others.
In patients who were able to continue with aflibercept beyond 4 cycles, 65% (17/26) achieved a documented radiological response and a further 12% (3/26) had stable disease.
ORR in patients with RAS mutation was 54% (7/13) in all-comers and 75% (6/8) in subjects who continued on Aflibercept beyond 4 cycles.
Furthermore, 7 out of 26 patients who continued on Aflibercept were down-staged to enable curative surgery.
This real-world, single center retrospective analysis of aflibercept treatment in an unselected patient population confirms both, the benefit of aflibercept in terms of ORR, as well as its significant AE profile resulting in over 40% of patients discontinuing treatment early. Patients with RAS mutations (ie not eligible for EGFR inhibition) appear to benefit similarly to overall results of the VELOUR trial. Further trials are needed to guide physicians towards a more individualized use of aflibercept and the doses of FOLFIRI in patients with mCRC.

SALT LAKE CITY – Danuel House had the three-ball going all night, and hit a game-tying three-pointer with 8.9 seconds remaining in the Northern Arizona Suns' visit to the Salt Lake City Stars on Friday night. The Suns committed a foul on the Stars' ensuing possession though that cost them the game.
The Suns have tied a season-long five-game losing streak, dropping this one 113-112. The Suns are now at 20-24 on the season, losing for the first time at Salt Lake City in team history (3-1). The Stars, who were one of two teams in the Western Conference officially eliminated from postseason contention entering the night (Memphis), improved to 16-29. They are 12-5 since the NBA G League Showcase.
House led the Suns with 24 points on 7-of-11 shooting from beyond the arc, to go with four assists, two rebounds and two steals. Down two with 41.4 seconds left, House made one free throw to inch the Suns closer. Down three with 8.9 seconds left, House drained a deep one to tie up the game. Out on the perimeter on the Stars' possession, Akeem Springs was fouled by Archie Goodwin. Springs made the first free throw, missed the second, and Salt Lake City gathered the rebound to ice the game.
It seemed like Northern Arizona had the lead most of the game, even going up by 11 a couple of times. The Stars continually battled back, however, thanks to three 20+ point performances and three double-doubles.
Isaiah Cousins led the Stars with 24 points on 10-of-17 shooting, to go with six assists and five rebounds. Stone had a monster game, recording 23 points, 12 rebounds and four blocks. Naz Mitrou-Long secured a double-double with 21 points, 10 rebounds, six assists and two blocks. Taylor Braun had the third double-double for Salt Lake City, posting 16 points, 12 rebounds, four assists and three steals.
Besides House, five other Suns had 10+ points on the night.
Point guard Josh Gray had a point-rebound double-double with 11 points and 11 rebounds, while also tallying six assists and four steals. Goodwin came a rebound short of the mark with 16 points, nine rebounds and three assists. Mike Young earned his second straight start and finished with 19 points and four rebounds. Xavier Silas (13 points, eight rebounds) and Chris McCullough (13 points, four rebounds, three assists and four steals) also had solid outings.
This was the second-to-last road game for the Suns, who play five of their last six games on the year at the Prescott Valley Event Center. They'll be at home Sunday for their last Sunday Fun Day, where they'll host the South Bay Lakers at 5 p.m. MST. The Stars will wrap up a four-game home slate on Monday against the Sioux Falls Skyforce at 6 p.m. MST.

All in all a good day out.

HOLMES BEACH -- Anna Maria Island's bid to become the "beach wedding capital of Florida" is starting to reap rewards with the island's annual wedding festival, island chamber officials said Monday.
The fourth annual Anna Maria Island Wedding Festival, held in February, attracted 240 brides-to-be, including one who switched her wedding plans from Orlando to Manatee County, festival officials told the Tourist Development Council.
The festival also generated an estimated $105,000 in tax revenue, said Debbie Wing, festival organizer. Almost one-fourth of attendees came from outside the Bradenton/Sarasota area, including 19 percent from the high-priority target area of Orlando/Lakeland.
"This festival might not be looked at as a festival, but as a billboard advertisement for Anna Maria Island and Manatee County," Wing said.
Overall, the festival attracted about 500 people. While that's less than the Wedding Festival's 2010 draw of 800, it was a more focused group because a greater percentage of attendees were actual brides who traveled to Anna Maria Island specifically for the event, Wing said.
The festival also learned this year to market itself with less money. Wing said the 2011 advertising budget was only about $28,000 -- $10,000 of which came from the TDC -- compared with a $54,000 advertising budget in 2010.
Wing expects next year's numbers to be even more impressive because the festival will move from February to May. The new dates are intended to avoid snarled seasonal traffic, which several would-be festival-goers said prevented them from attending this year, Wing said.

The Oakland Raiders play their "home" opener this Sunday against the New York Jets. The Jets may be awful, but they look like the right football pick in this matchup.
In 2003, Jack Del Rio was a rookie head coach with the Jacksonville Jaguars. He brought an ax and a stump into the dressing room after the Jags started the year 0-3. "Keep chopping wood" was the mantra. Punter Chris Hanson took a swing at the stump, missed, and had to be taken to the hospital to get his foot sewn up. He missed the rest of the season. God bless the NFL.
Del Rio made it all the way to 2011 before Jacksonville gave him the chop. But the Oakland Raiders were happy to make him their head coach in 2015. And while the Raiders finally made it back into the playoffs last year, savvy bettors have taken note of Del Rio's bizarre home/away splits: 6-10 ATS at the Oakland Coliseum, 13-4 ATS on the road. No wonder they want to move.
Conveniently enough, the Raiders are at "home" this Sunday (4:05 p.m. ET, CBS) to take on the consensus worst team in the NFL, the New York Jets. The Raiders are the biggest favorites on the Week 2 NFL odds board at –14, holding steady since the open under light betting. Are we really going to bet on the New York Jets? Really?
Jack El Patron
Not everyone is in agreement on this matchup. FiveThirtyEight projects the Raiders to win 74 percent of the time, for an Elo-based spread of Oakland –7.5. ESPN's Football Power Index has the Raiders winning 91.3 percent of the time, which works out closer to Oakland –17.5. I thought computers were supposed to be infallible.
We're still inclined to go with the Jets here. This is a "bargain bin" NFL pick, taking a contrarian stance on everyone's favorite punching bag while hoping to capture some of that Del Rio magic. The Coliseum is even less of a home for the Raiders now that they're moving to Las Vegas; we expect they'll get something of a rude reception on Sunday. Oakland also has some injury problems in the secondary that can't be ignored. And the total for Sunday's game is only 43.5 points. If the game's going to be that low-scoring, there isn't much room for the Raiders to cover that enormous spread. Let's do this.
Best Line Offered: at Bovada

Hello Doctor,
My doctor put .08 of artefill in my n/l folds four days ago and so far it looks pretty good, except there's a small lump on one side of my nose, it's kind of red still and when i touch it, it feels like there's something in there. i tried to smush it down, and that didn't help. i'm wondering if there's any hope that a) it will subside or b) some of the substance can be removed?
thanks for your time!
hi karla,
this is a common problem.
four days is not a long time, so most likely it will subside, but i think that it desrves to be looked at by your doctor. if he/she is injecting artefill, he/she should have no problem seeing you back even this early with concerns about lumpiness. at this early stage perhaps he can massage it flat. lumps is the only real concern with artefill, so you have a legitimate question.

Have you ever been in a situation where the more you succeed the more insecure you become? That's this week's Frumpy Friday post. Now before you read on, I want to urge you to have an open mind to what I'm saying. Some of you may read this and think, "Well, wish I had that problem." Others may read it and relate. I want to share it because it has been part of my weight loss journey.
As I have the shared the last couple of weeks, I have lost quite a bit of weight since last May. The weight started coming off slow and steady, about 10 pounds a month. Then in late October, early November, it really started coming off. Keep in mind I was doing nothing different as far as exercise or eating, it is just how my body was responding.
Many people had noticed and complimented my changes. It was encouraging at first. As more weight began to come off I started to get some really interesting comments. I had people asking if I had surgery, or if I was still eating. I had one friend ask me if I was really ok, because a lot of people were worried that I was getting too skinny.
The amount of attention was bizarre and started to make me V.E.R.Y self-conscious. If I took an extra bite of something, I found myself wondering if I had just gained all of the weight back. I was asking a couple of very trusted friends if I looked ill or emaciated. All of the attention was having a very negative effect. As a society, women in particular, we think if we just lose that extra weight we'll be so much more confident, etc. This was making me totally insecure.
And here was the eye opening moment for me. I confessed to some of those trusted friends that I could understand how people could develop eating disorders. All of the focus went on my appearance or size and the perceived pressure to stay that way. Before my weight loss I felt confident in myself. Most people would describe me as outgoing, a leader, etc. I am still those things but I started letting things creep in like, "Now they notice me because I am thinner." "If I gain the weight back, they won't like me as much." What a LIE!!
Why do we do this to ourselves? Why must we always be comparing? Why do we let the enemy get this foothold in our lives?
Please don't misunderstand...compliments are nice. It is encouraging to have your hard work noticed. But the bottom line is that my ultimate approval and encouragement needs to come from God alone. This could have so easily become a pit of obsession for me, and I'll be honest, there are still days that it tries to win. Praise God that I have Him, His Word and trusted friends and family to keep me accountable.
Here is a picture with some of those trusted friends back in November. We were leaving to go see Beth Moore. Thank you Lord for the blessing of people who shoot straight and bring your insight to my life. Do you have that in yours? Because no matter what size you are...you are loved!

Not even Florida's worst hurricane in more than a decade dampened President David Hoag's enthusiasm for the new academic year at Warner University.
LAKE WALES — Not even Florida's worst hurricane in more than a decade dampened President David Hoag's enthusiasm for the new academic year at Warner University.
With a brief interruption from Hurricane Irma on Sept. 10, which closed the campus for a week, Warner began the year with a record 1,200 undergraduate and graduate students, Hoag said. That included a record freshman class.
Warner set the record by enlisting the whole campus in spreading the good word about the Lake Wales liberal arts university associated with the Church of God in Anderson, Ind., said Hoag, beginning his second year as president.
"One of the things I tried to do was to get the entire campus committed to our three priorities – recruitment, retention and service," he said. "That makes everybody a recruiter."
By graduation, every student is required to accumulate 21 semester hours of spiritual or community service, Hoag added. The university has more than 60 different opportunities to earn those credits.
Warner added a new criminal-justice undergraduate degree program for the 2017-18 academic year, he said.
The program trains graduates for careers in law enforcement, such as correctional officers, lawyers or rehabilitation specialists anywhere from the municipal to the federal levels, Hoag said.
"There are so many areas in this country touched by that," he added.
Another new program this year is the Institute of Marine Technology, which aims to train students for careers in the expanding recreational-boating industry in Central Florida, he said. The associate-degree program offers technician certification to work on outboard engines or repair navigation and other electronic devices.
"Florida issues more boat licenses than any state in the country," Hoag noted.
After years of fundraising and planning, construction began this year on the new 18,000-square-foot facility for the agricultural-studies program, which offers a bachelor's degree, the president said. It currently has about 80 undergraduates.
The roughly $3 million complex will open by August and include a greenhouse, an animal science (veterinary) lab and a mechanics shop, said David Byrd, an adjunct instructor in the program. Byrd was recently inducted into the Florida Future Farmers of America Hall of Fame, honoring more than 35 years in agricultural education for Polk County Schools.
"I think it will be a big benefit for the program," said Byrd, who taught an agricultural-mechanics course at Warner. "This will mean a lot more hands-on activities."
Currently, students have to leave the campus for hands-on mechanical work, he said.
The greenhouse will mean more practical experience for students in the plants program while the veterinary lab will do the same for those courses, Byrd said.
"It also has a fringe benefit: It gives the agriculture students a place to call their own," he added.
Now in its fifth year, all graduates with a Warner agriculture degree during the past two years have gotten jobs in the field, Hoag said.
New faculty members include Nathan Hartman, a digital media instructor in the Communications Department; Adam Spoolstra, an accounting professor in the Business Administration program; Winnifred Whittaker, a professor of social work; and Carlene Harwood, an English professor. Also joining the Warner administrative staff is Andrea Thies as vice president of advancement.
Tuition at Warner for a full-time undergraduate student is $10,358 per semester plus $4,174 for room and board. Part-time students pay from $406 to $664 per credit hour depending upon course load.

Fallout 4 Secrets And Easter Eggs You Need To Find
South Park & Dogmeat
While this one may not be a confirmed easter egg, it's unlikely that its an accidental coincidence. In 2001, South Park released an episode called "Proper Condom Use." In this episode, the kids are taught how to milk a dog from older kids. I don't think we need to go into detail on what milking a dog really is, so if you can't figure out, go ahead and move on. In this episode, they called that action Red Rocket. While the Red Rocket gas station has been around since Fallout 3, this time round it's where you locate your dog, Dogmeat, with him residing directly under the attached canopy. Like previously said, this may just be a coincidence.

Have you seen the trailer for Casino Royale yet? I'm curious to hear what you think of the new James Bond, Daniel Craig: Do you want to shake his martini or shoot him?
And while we're on the subject, do you ever wonder how a Bond villain spends his downtime? Taking his two kids out for a day of family fun at Universal Studios in L.A., of course. "They're busy with SpongeBob at the moment," says Danish superstar Mads Mikkelsen (think: the Tom Cruise of Copenhagen), who is set to win millions of American fans thanks to his role opposite 007 in Casino Royale.
I think it's crazy that Craig's casting has been controversial in part because of his hair color (blondes can kick butt as well as have fun—remember Farrah in Charlie's Angels?). But I'll bet everyone gets a kick out of the new Metrosexual Bond Baddie, Le Chiffre. Next to the Bond girls, the villains are my favorite part of the spy franchise, though they've never been so stylish, sexy and well groomed.
"My character isn't a mad scientist trying to take over the world," says Mads. "He's a mathematical genius who wants to make a lot of money. And he's very vain—he's definitely a guy who spends a lot of time in the bathroom."
The actor's own grooming ritual is low-maintenance in comparison ("I'm pretty fast—I don't need two hours to get ready"), which is easy when you're such a naturally good-looking guy. He was certainly a big hit at In Style's party at the Toronto Film Festival, where he had not one but two movies screening: After the Wedding and Adam's Apples (which also played at Sundance).
What can we expect from the new Bond movie, aside from a certain catchphrase and a lot of stuff getting blown to bits? For one thing, says Mads, "this is a more realistic and gritty James. He can kill people with his bare hands"—which is a valuable job skill when you're up against evil geniuses with sadistic tendencies. He adds: "Our big scene was pure torture for me to film. We can't call it a fight scene, because I'm torturing Daniel in a memorable way—he is in a chair screaming, and he doesn't have many clothes on."
Hey, speaking of clothes … "I like casual stuff," Mads says. "I'm into Diesel and Adidas. I'm from a working-class neighborhood—the Danish hood."
So how does Mads feel about his transition from the hood to Hollywood? "It's been great," he says with a laugh. "I come from a country where we tend to make small-budget movies."

Travel Guide Asia Thailand South Thailand Ko Samui
© All Rights Reserved houzz
Ko Samui (เกาะสมุย) is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Thailand. It is the third largest island in Thailand and has a population of about 47,874 people making it very underpopulated. This island started as the originally hippy backpacker destinations in the 1970s and because of the influx of massive tourism the island has changed. Although many backpacker places can still be found, most of that scene has relocated to the nearby island of Ko Pha Ngan.
One of the major advantages of Ko Samui is that it is larger with more tourist options and has an international airport. Also there is an excellent road system around the island making it easy and cheap to get around. If looking for great diving, beaches and fun, Ko Samui is an amazing place.
The island is located only 35 kilometres northwest of the mainland, in the Gulf of Thailand. It is the largest of about 60 islands that cover the area. The island is in a circular shape and about 15 kilometres from tip to tip. Most people live along the coast because the center of the island is very dense mountainous jungle. The highest point on the island is Khao Pom, which is 635 metres. The major port is in the town of Nathon on the southwest coast of the island.
With the growth of tourism most beaches on Ko Samui have turned into towns aimed to make foreign tourists happy. Therefore during most trips one never really has to leave the area around the beach.
© All Rights Reserved jbennett
Like much of Thailand, Ko Samui has a warm tropical climate with high temperatures and humidity. Temperatures during the day average between 29 °C and 32 °C (May - September being the warmest time) while nights are mostly around 24 °C or 25 °C. Unlike much of Thailand though, there is not a very dry or very wet season. Rain is possible during most of the year and most of this falls during October (300mm) and especially November (400mm). Then from December to March, there are still heavy rainshowers possible, while from April it becomes drier regarding the amount of rain, but there are more days with rain (around 20 versus 12-14 during December to March), meaning less intense rain.

Samui Airport (USM) is a privately owned airport approximately 2 kilometres from Chaweng Beach. Interestingly the airport has no indoor area, except for the gift shop. There are domestic flights to Bangkok, Chiang Mai, Krabi, Phuket and U-Tapao. There are also international flights to Hong Kong, Singapore, Kuala Lumpur and Penang. The airlines that fly in and out of Samui Airport are:
There are several ferry ports on the island, with main ferry entrance being at Nathon. Several smaller ferry ports are at Bang Rak Beach and Maenam Beach, which have boats going to and from Ko Pha Ngan and Ko Tao.
After getting to the mainland it is very easy to get buses to any major city in Thailand.
With sealed roads it is very easy and cheap to get around the island in the back of a pick up truck.
Apart from tours or chartering a boat, there are no internal passenger connections.
All of the beaches being like little towns they have plenty of eating options.
If looking for a large night life it is best to stick to the bigger and more crowded beaches.
Most beaches have a range of accommodation from budget to luxury.
View our map of accommodation in Koh Samui or use the form below to search for availability (Travellerspoint receives a commission for bookings made through the form)
There are countless internet bars across the country in big and small towns. Internet cafés are widespread and most are inexpensive. Prices as low as 15 baht/hour are commonplace, and speed of connection is generally reasonable, but many cafes close at midnight. Higher prices prevail in major package-tourist destinations (60 baht/hour is typical, 120 baht/hour is not unusual). Keyloggers are all too often installed on the computers in cheap cafes, so be on your guard if using online banking, stock broking or even PayPal. Remember that in the smaller towns and more traditional areas the owners and staff of internet bars prefer if customers take off their shoes at the entrance and leave them outside. This might seem strange although this gesture goes a far way to make friends and give a positive image of foreigners to Thai people.
Outside the most competitive tourist areas, free Wi-Fi is not as common as in neighbouring countries in many budget hotels and guesthouses and they may charge small fee for Internet by LAN or Wi-Fi even if you bring your own laptop. Wi-Fi is commonly available in cafes and restaurants serving Westerners.
See also: International Telephone Calls
The international code for Thailand is 66. 999 connects to all emergency services. Standard GSM emergency number 112 is supported in mobile networks. 911 for Tourist Police Department, English available.
For mobile phone users, Thailand has three GSM mobile service providers - AIS, DTAC and Truemove - which may be useful if you have a mobile phone that will work on either one or both of the GSM 900 or 1800 frequency bands (consult your phone's technical specifications). If you have one, you can buy a prepaid SIM card for any of the Thai carriers in any convenience store for as little as 50-200 baht and charge it up as you go. Using your own mobile phone while on holiday with a Thai pre-paid SIM card can save a lot of money and lets you give your number to family back home, so they can have an emergency contact number.
Thailand Post is the Thai postal service that deals with all local and international mail in Thailand. The business is operated from local post offices. Post offices are easy to recognise with their red white and blue motifs and the words 'Thailand Post' in English and Thai above the entrance. They are open from Monday to Saturday, usually 8:30am to 4:30pm (main ones until around 8:00pm), though keeping shorter hours on Saturdays (usually until 1:00pm). They are generally closed on Sundays and Public Holidays. Each post office offers a comprehensive service which includes an Express Mail Service (EMS) and parcel post. They also have a price calculator for letters, postcards and parcels, both domestically as well as internationally. They also have a track and trace system and money transfer services. If you want to send packages, it might be a good idea to check with private courier companies like DHL, TNT or UPS, as they are fast, reliable and generally quite competitively priced.
We have a comprehensive list of accommodation in Ko Samui searchable right here on Travellerspoint. You can use our map to quickly compare budget, mid-range or top of the range accommodation in Ko Samui and areas nearby.

HCA Posts Wider Profit, But Lowers Its Outlook
HCA's net profit surged 53% as revenue at its hospitals increased and admissions levels were strong. But the company warned that annual results in 2003 and 2004 would be weaker due to decreased Medicare reimbursements.
The hospital operator, based in Nashville, Tenn., reported third-quarter net income of $306 million, or 61 cents per share, compared with $200 million, or 38 cents a share a year earlier.

Formula training
A recent online discussion of horsemanship prompted me to put a few things into words. People were talking about formula training, formula trainers, and what they found valuable or not with some of the current 'name brand' formula trainers. One noted that some students want formulas and formula programs are good for those folks.
My thoughts reflect my opinion about formulas. Please read on...
Because I know from my own experience how valuable it is to have something to hang on to when I'm trying to figure out a half a kazillion things about horses and myself at the same time, I like to give some simple 'formula' stuff to my students.
However my formula is not about technique. It is about awareness and intent.
It is not written in black and white, but basically includes:
1. Become more and more aware of and well managing of your body, thoughts, and emotions.
2. Become more and more aware of and able to rightly interpret the thoughts, emotions, and behaviors of the horse.
So it's not about do this to make the horse do that. It is about learning and paying attention and having a two-way respectful and effective interaction with the horse as a living, thinking, feeling sentient being so all involved have the best chance to feel connected and proud of their relationship.
I will add that practicing #1 and #2 will lead eventually to a deep sense of interconnectedness and harmony. But in case anyone isn't clear about that possibility, I'll add that my 'formula' includes practicing withness. Doing things with the horse, not to the horse. Doing things together, now, connected, unified. It may start as a concept, but cradling the idea and the possibility will create opportunities for it to happen. And there is nothing better than withness.
So yeah, someone wants a formula? I'll give them one. :-) It's going to be one that encourages a commitment to developing mindfulness. And one that frees the student to be an active learner with the horses rather than learning from me.
Happy Holidays, everyone. May your days be full of insight and joyous surprises.

Diversity Mentoring Toolkit
To increase diversity in educational programs, the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics developed the Building Our Future Mentor Program Toolkit to assist in mentoring students interested in dietetics careers. The toolkit can be used to raise awareness of dietetics careers and increase the pool of potential students at the K-8 and high school levels, as well as attract students from diverse cultures who have not yet declared a major to consider the dietetics education programs offered at their college or university.
The toolkit was developed to provide models for mentoring African American, Hispanic, Asian or Pacific Islander, and American Indian, Alaskan Native, and Hawaiian Native students.

Community Tabs
Southwind Village
Jackson, NJ
About this Community:
Southwind Village in Jackson New Jersey from UMH Properties featuring up to 1,500 Sq. Ft, Great Location and Maintenance.
Southwind, a manufactured home community located in Jackson, NJ, has spacious homes and welcoming amenities. It's beautifully landscaped, has 250 homes, and is a in a convenient location. There's something here for every resident. It's close to shopping, with Jackson Premium Outlets a few miles away, and the Freehold Raceway Mall is nearby. Our residents enjoy living in the perfect spot.
Manufactured Homes Advantages
- Modern amenities. Our homes are as large as 1,500 square feet, and some have 3 beds and 2 baths. Kitchens have brand-name appliances, including dishwashers and microwaves, wood kitchen cabinets, a breakfast bar--even an optional fireplace in the living room and garden tub in the master bathroom.
- Great location. Surrounded by some of the best acticities in New Jersey, there's plenty for residents to do in this area. Six Flags Great Adventure is a short drive away, as is Sesame Place, and both promise days of fun during the summer. Several Jersey Shore beaches, including Seaside and Point Pleasant Beach, are less than 45 minutes away. The New Jersey Turnpike is nearby for a quick 75-minute drive to Atlantic City or Philadelphia, or even a 90-minute drive to New York City.
- Maintenance and management. Southwind has management who is available to answer your questions and make appointments for any needed maintenance items in your manufactured home or on the property.
Manufactured Homes and Mobile Homes: An Evolution in Terminology.
Although the phrases "manufactured homes" and "mobile homes" are used interchangeably, they are two completely different products. This is because mobile homes have not been made since the 1970s. Strict code and regulations were put in place, therefore, shifting to the creation of the manufactured home. Manufactured homes, like those at Catalina, are houses that are built in factories with specific and rigorous safety standards that are then put together on site.
Southwind also has a basketball court, community center, and playground that are available to all of our residents throughout the year. Call today to arrange a tour.
