This I Believe
Bertha, lying on her death bed as the last minutes of her long life slipped away, looks back and reflects upon her years. Did she have a happy life? Did she accomplish what she dreamed of? Reminiscing about her youth, Bertha recalls the strict home life in which she grew up. Her parents always enforced a strong academic lifestyle demanding that she made school work her top priority. They failed to notice, however, their daughters amazing singing talent and the passion she felt for making music. Through out school, bertha always put her passion second to her parents' wishes. After college she took a wonderful job at a law firm and continued to live her life around her parents' expectations for success. One day a friend told her about a great women's ensemble and she felt delighted. As she prepared to leave the office the day of her audition, her boss requested she stay late for an emergency meeting. In that moment, her parent's voices came flowing back to her head. Again she put achievement before passion; she missed her audition.
Now as she lays dying in her bed she feels an emptiness from lack of music in her life. Even though she had led a highly successful life, she would die unfulfilled because she did not do what she truly loved.
Fate limits our time on this planet and I believe we have best fulfilled our lives when we can die knowing we lived doing what we loved. I celebrate my life by surrounding myself with my friends and family and surrounding myself with photography and nature because these things make me happy.
This I believe, that we should not model our lives after Bertha but instead celebrate our passions by involving them in our everyday lives.

Bowtech Prodigy Review
Where to buy
from $649
auctions from $400
content from YouTube
Editors' reviewThe Prodigy is one of the new flagship bows for Bowtech for 2015. The bow offers the shooter a new Powerdisc with Powershift technology. This allows the shooter to adjust the feel of the shot to one of three different settings. These adjustments can be done not only to fit the archer's preference, but to give the best performance based on the conditions. For example, the Prodigy can be adjusted to the performance setting for competition shooting, or it can be set to the comfort setting for a smoother draw when hunting in cold, snowy weather. With a 32" ATA, 7" brace height, and 80 percent let-off, this rig will provide a solid shooting platform for any shooter even at 70# draw weight, regardless of the situation.
FinishThis bow comes with a dipped film finish and comes in several colors to include Mossy Oak Breakup Country, Realtree Xtra Green, Kryptek Highlander, and Blackops.
Risers/LimbThe foundation for this bow is a machined aluminum riser trimmed to exacting measures. This riser reduces the overall weight of the bow without losing strength. The limbs are a split-limb design that works in unison with Bowtech's tried and true center pivot configuration. With this setup, this rig is very quiet, has no vibration, and produces one of the best shots in the business. The riser also has a trimmed grip section, fitted with a pair of Bowtech's side plates. This grip fits well into the hand and helps reduce bow torque. It is a very comfortable feel for the shooter.The limbs are a highly efficient composite that responds quickly. These limbs are perfectly matched with the overdrive binary cams and produce a very fast arrow speed.
Other ComponentsBesides the new Powershift and Powerdisc technologies, this bow comes with center pivot system to maximize the efficiency of the limbs, carbon rod string stop, FLX-guard cable guide, and noise and vibration dampening components. All this coupled with the 32" ATA, the limbs locked in with the Center Pivot design, and the overdrive cams make this one of the quietest, smoothest shooting bows out of the box on the market.
Eccentric SystemThis bow comes with Bowtech's award winning Binary Overdrive Cams that give this rig a smooth draw and plenty of power. This cam system also hosts a new technological breakthrough for Bowtech called the Powerdisc and Powershift designs. This technology allows the cams to be adjusted and basically turn this bow into three bows in one. The three settings for the Powerdisc are performance, traditional, and comfort settings. The performance setting provides the maximum speed. It also has a narrow valley with a max of 65 percent let-off. At full draw, the shooter can feel the bow aching to release. The traditional setting has approximately 75 percent let-off and is a little easier to shoot. It gives the archer a mix of power and an easier shot. The comfort setting has a full 85 percent let-off and an extremely smooth draw. The draw length is also easily adjusted with the use of rotating modules. The draw can be set in a matter of minutes, without the need for a bow press. This rig is easy to tune, and fun to shoot.
Silencing PackageThe Bowtech Prodigy is designed with many inherent qualities the simply make it quiet. The carbon rod string stop, and the Dura-Flex string dampeners make this rig deadly quiet straight from the box.

State schools Superintendent Nancy S. Grasmick's plan to add environmental education to the curriculum of public elementary, middle and high schools is a welcome move toward making all students more aware of our responsibility to care for the planet and the impact our choices have on it.
Many important public policy debates — from climate change and conservation to man-made disasters such as BP's massive oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico — turn on scientific principles everyone should be familiar with in order to make informed decisions. Environmental literacy has become a necessity for citizens in a democracy.
To be sure, some form of environmental literacy is already being taught in many Maryland schools. Anne Arundel, Howard and Baltimore counties, for example, offer units on weather, geology and other environmental topics as part of their regular courses in biology, chemistry and earth science. It's hardly an exaggeration to say that kids in such programs today are far better informed about the linkage between environmental change and human activity than their parents were at a similar age.

While Sub Rosa's name may be indicative of the shop's conversations with clients, which CEO Michael Ventura says are kept strategic, personal and quiet, it's certainly not an apt way to describe the work the New York shop does.
Among its more notable campaigns was "For Women by Women" for General Electric, a design installation that sought to change the mammography and breast-cancer experience. "It's simultaneously exhilarating and real, exactly the type of project we look for," said Mr. Ventura.
The 21-person agency surpassed $10 million in billings this year and boasts clients including Nike and General Electric. It has had 200% year-over-year growth since 2009, and expects to see that trajectory continue into 2013, with work rolling out for Nike that aims to change the athletic brand's retail strategy globally.
"We are now being asked to both advise on work and execute it, in an industry where shops usually do one or the other," said Mr. Ventura. That means that the agency tries to hire people who might be excellent at one thing, but have aptitude for five or six other things as well.
"Sub Rosa combines tremendous creativity and strategy with flawless execution," said Linda Boff, executive director of global, digital, advertising and design at GE. "Lots of agencies have ideas; very few are able to actualize those ideas."

New Belgium announces Urban Assault schedule
The nation's most popular bike scavenger hunt series, the New Belgium Urban Assault Ride, will occupy the streets of 10 cities in 2012, with the season opener scheduled for Tucson on Sunday, February 26.Now in its 10th season, The Urban Assault Ride has become a much-loved tradition for thousands of free-spirited cyclists who embrace the cycling lifestyle and community.
Its popularity is largely due to it's unique "Choose your Own Adventure" format, that requires teams of two to plan their own routes to checkpoints all over town. At each stop, riders drop their bikes and tackle funky (and always changing) challenges which may include power-sliding big wheels through a race course, sliding down a 30' water slide, or playing "limbo" on mini bikes. Upon crossing the finish line, cyclists enter a huge after party with New Belgium brews and prize contests such as the 'mustache dance-off.'
Adventure Fit takes this healthy and eco-friendly impact even further by benefiting local bike-advocacy non-profits and shooting for zero-waste events. In 2011, the Urban Assault Ride diverted an average of 95% of event waste from landfills and donated revenues to 19 different non-profits.
For the 2012 season, riders can expect all new obstacles and after party contests designed to challenge every level of cyclist. The UAR is open to anybody seven years old and up. Team divisions include coed, male, female and family. Prizes are awards to the top three teams in each division. Each event is capped at 1500 riders and multiple sellouts are expected in 2012.
Registration is open now.

New Friend
I believe in children with mental or physical ailments. I was only five years old when I attended my first of many family reunions. It was up in Ohio somewhere and my extended family, is very extended. I was new to the family reunion and I was still new to my extended family too. When I arrived, I noticed this one young girl, about my age sitting in the corner watching all the other kids playing with one another. Nothing seemed wrong with her to me, so I ran over to her. She was in a wheelchair and to the other kids, she was way too different to play with' but to me, she was just a new future friend. We hung out together all day long. I would play games while she watched. Every age group got to play a game and our game was to pick up as much candy as possible at one time. I got to start early because I had to pick up double the amount, half for me, half for my new friend. I pushed her around until my mom made me leave. We had so much fun together that day. I have forgotten much of my childhood, but I will never forget my first trip to my family reunion.
I did not realize it then, but that day was the beginning of my passion for children in need. I realize now that my "new friend" was not only physically incapacitated, but also mentally. There is such a bright side to these young children. Children like her not only invoke an immense feeling of compassion but also, they represent the real and everlasting sense of innocence. When I say compassion I do not mean that I feel sorry for them, but more that I feel a kind of sensitivity that is a true understanding of their everyday situation and pain. These children have no ulterior motives; they are a pure as the driven snow. Almost never do you see them for a long period of time without a great big grin on their faces, even if there is nothing to smile about. Most of these kids will not know that they are different until they grow up or experience prejudice. Hopefully, most won't ever know that they are different, because their innocence and purity is what our world is lacking more and more everyday. Knowing could put them at risk of losing their unconditional happiness.
I wish for everyone in the world to be touched by someone with mental of physical ailment like my "new friend" because I believe they teach us that we are so incredibly lucky to be able to live life fully every single day. One simple smile from a child reminds us to stop and admire the littlest things. I believe they teach us that all the money in the world will not replace happiness. I believe that these children are the hope for our next generation. This I believe.

First and foremost, there's a shout out to my beloved Doctor Thirteen in this issue, and that rules. To my knowledge, that's the first confirmation of him existing in the New 52 DCU. In any case, all around this issue is an improvement from the last, offering a more concrete understanding of the team and their purpose. While issue #6 debuted the new Challengers of the Unknown, it isn't until this installment that we see them really take shape into something that resembles the team we're familiar with. To his credit, Didio takes a concept I was wary of in issue #6 (making them reality TV stars, essentially) and turns it into something enjoyable and in keeping with the original property.
Despite the improvement in execution of the Challengers concept, the characters themselves still struggle to distinguish themselves from one another. The pages are heavy with dialog, yet none of it is used for the purpose of developing characters beyond superficial traits like names and social or economic status. If the wordy script could've been stripped down a bit, this issue might've fared better as a fast-paced action/adventure that didn't concern itself with individual character development. Instead, the extra words just come off feeling like a lot of exposition or fluff.
Jerry Ordway delivers a healthy dose of old school storytelling here, which fits the tone that Didio is trying to set. Ordway fares best in the action-oriented sequences near the issue's conclusion, offering classic action/adventure layouts with collapsing ceilings and villainous statues. Again, issue #7 is a large improvement over the artwork of issue #6, likely due to the increased focus on the adventure elements that play to Ordway's strong suits. There are a lot less talking heads (though still just as much talking) this time around, and the versatile visuals are the result.
It's still not on par with the Deadman arc, but DC Universe Presents #7 continues the hope that there's still some outlet for the more obscure DC properties in the New 52.

WebDU 2009 Day One
By Gerard Mason
Gerard Mason
Gerard Mason runs Big Friendly Apes, a boutique Flash and web development studio in Melbourne, Australia.
After the keynote I took it easy and soaked in bits and pieces. Last time around I was careful to choose sessions and sit them through from beginning to end. This time, I think that when something is getting a little tiring, I might perhaps quietly sneak into another session so I can get a nice broad experience. With that in mind, I dipped into Dale Rankine's session on Flash for Mobiles. There are so many different kinds of phones and platforms, I get pretty confused, and it is good that people like Dale exist. He demoed some methods of getting Flash Lite content onto his Nokia phone, and spoke briefly about the open screen project. Surprisingly, it took until the last minute of the session for someone to ask him about Flash for the iPhone but unsurprsingly, he gave us nothing.
Speaking of which, you just wouldn't believe how many iPhones I saw this morning.*
After that I dipped into Carly Gooch's session on skinning Flex components. Now, I'm not really into Flex and some time into the session I decided to check out twitter and noticed the groundswell of positive tweets eminating from Simon Reid's session entitled 'The Digital Art of Pencil and Paper'. I love the title and Simon was a great speaker. He was speaking about methods for designing end user experiences without computers. Sketching was an obvious one but it wasn't so much Simon's suggestion that we eschew the laptop in favour of the pencil that made his talk worthwhile, it was his 'out of the box' suggestions for capturing and generating ideas to design experiences. For example, he suggested sitting behind end user's while they worked to capture subtleties in their workflow, and also staring at media such as newspapers and magazines and attempting to fit an interface idea to the content ('force fit' I think was his term). I'm probably not doing his talk justice with these comments, but it was just really great to hear a voice from somewhere outside of the norm in terms of designing these experiences sharing his ideas and I gained a lot from it. Should've gotten in there from the start. Bugger.
After (delicious) lunch (with card tricks, see picture) I caught Michael Plank's discussion on simultaneous development of online and desktop apps using Flash and AIR. I was pleasantly surprised at his simple technique of using conditional compilation with the command line compiler and the rest of his talk was considered and practical.
Probably my favourite session for the day was by Google's Mike Jones. Mike spoke about some new innovations in the Google Maps API for Flash. I don't know why, we've seen Google Maps before and the FLash API has been around for a while but Mike was a very knowledgeable speaker and the features he demoed - most notable 3D rotations of the map - were very exciting and my mind was ticking over long after. I'm not sure why more games haven't been made using the maps Flash API so maybe that's a job for someone out there.
Time for a beer and some food!

So glad you had a great time in Vegas (Banana Republic scores? Oh yes!!!) - I love that city, so much fun!! :)
And those Raspberry Chocolate Croissants look positively sinful! Yum!
Those look yummy.
As for pale skin, have you tried the Jergen's gradual tanning lotion. It is very subtle but definitely works.
Oh Lori, I've tried absolutely everything. I'm still pale even with self tanner on, it's just more bearable. My favorite is actually Sally Hanson airbrushed legs, I mix a spritz of that with my lotion and spread it wherever I want to be tan (usually arms, and legs whenever I have a skirt on). I guess it's weird to use leg "makeup" on my arms, but is it really that much weirder than putting makeup on your legs? Probably not, plus it's waterproof, doesn't smell, and I don't have to act like a leper all night long not being able to touch anything or sit on the furniture ;-)

Local community engagement is central to decisions about liquor licences in NSW.
Depending on the type of liquor licence, this can be a simple matter of talking to residents and local authorities, or a more involved process of producing a community impact statement (CIS).
Either way, liquor laws in NSW give our local communities a strong voice in licensing decisions.
Read more about how Liquor & Gaming NSW works with the community:
Liquor & Gaming NSW has also established a dedicated community access team whose role is to assist, inform and educate community members so that they can participate in liquor related decisions, policy development and government initiatives.

Product DescriptionWine Tasting Notes
The nose is full of rich honeycomb, dried apricots and apples, with a bit of petroleum underlying the fruit (which is expected in a Botrytized Riesling). The palate is ripe with peaches and pears; bright acidity balances out the sweetness. It has a long luscious finish with some hints of tangerine.

Ah, man. This is such a classic. Right up there with boom goes the dynamite.
I like the part where he threw his entire career away
LOL, but not even close to "Boom goes the dynamite" !!!
he seems incompetent in many ways, I don't think he got this job through hard work and academic merit, looks like a f*****g jock
how to get fired first day on the job
that guy was terrible. would have been sacked either way i think
Bit extreme to fire him over bungled first run. Big phat warning to never ever do it again would be better. He was clearly stressed and his continual awkwardness was probably because half his brain was freaking out about swearing, leaving the what was left of his presumably frat years alcohol damaged brain to handle the rest.
wow, painful
WTF is wrong with those Crazy Russians!
It's not Hilarious, it's awkward.
It's almost like they literally just pulled the guy off the street and stuck him in there!
ha ha those Ruskies. with tank drivers like that why were we ever worried about them.
was one of those head ons someone getting a HJ?
I thought so too so I rewound, looks like her face is in normal position before getting / throwing herself down. Also holy s*** ryan giggs is still playing for Manchester United, a team that changes players more often than teq suffers road rage.
How the f*** did he graduate anything from anywhere ?
she was live going through her story and the guy was still reading through his notes talking to himself, err wtf??

text: I have a MacBook Pro with Mac OS X Leopard and Windows Vista Home Premium over Boot Camp. Today I had some of my little cousins come over, and they wanted to play some flash games on the internet like cartoonnetwork, addicting games, etc. When they started playing, all the games were noticeably slow. I kinda scratched my head and did the basics. I checked my hard drive space I have left, 40.8 GBs. I checked if both my RAM sticks were okay, yes they were. I did software update, nothing new. I finally restarted Mac OS X. Same thing. By this time, my cousins now gave up and started watching Spongebob. So, I finally kinda give up and restart my $2,000 MacBook Pro into Windows Vista. I go on the same websites, and behold, the flash games work like a charm with no slow downs or anything. After they leave, I look around the internet and notice that a lot of people say the same thing, Flash in Mac OS X sucks. So here is a question for you guys: How the hell is Apple trying to add flash support on their iPod Touches and iPhones when they cannot even get Flash to work halfway decent over Mac OS X on full sized computers?

Novel mutations identified within the 3′ region of the PKD1 gene in South African polycystic kidney disease patients
Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD), a common, potentially lethal, inherited disorder, can arise from mutations in the polycystln-1 and polycystin-2 encoding genes (PKD1 and PKD2, respectively). To date, more than 260 PKD1 mutations have been reported in American, European and Asian populations. No information, however, is available on the molecular aetiology of ADPKD in South Africa. Since polycystic kidney disease (PKD) occurs in this country, the aim of this study was to investigate whether disease-causing mutations in PKD1 exist in a South African cohort of PKD patients. Thirty-two PKD-affected index cases (probands) were recruited from Tygerberg Hospital, Western Cape, for mutation screening of PKD1 exons 34 to 46. We identified three novel, putative disease-causing substitutions (V3682L, R3832P, and R4149L) and one previously reported substitution (R4227P) in four of the probands. Additionally, using genetic linkage analysis, the disease phenotype was strongly linked to the PKD1 locus in two multi-generation ADPKD pedigrees and, less clearly, in a third. The identification of novel, disease-causing mutations in PKD1 will help to identify functionally important domains, thereby furthering an understanding of the role of this membrane-bound protein in the healthy and the polycystic kidney.

Psst: Looking for a really good used car? Here are some hints
Any number of factors determine the resale value of a car: color, optional equipment, and model scarcity, among others. As you might imagine, however, reliability is a major consideration. So say the folks who produce the annual Kelley Blue Book, the "bible" of automotive pricing guides. They say the average car in the US loses 65 percent of its original cost over the first five years, while the dependable models on their list sell for about half the original sticker price. (That is, if they've been maintained well and not driven more than 15,000 miles a year.) The cars – by type – whose base sticker price was no more than $60,000 that have the highest resale value, according to the Kelley Blue Book:
Sedan Acura TSX
Coupe Honda Civic
Convertible MINICooper
Station wagon VW Passat
Hatchback MINICooper
Luxury BMW 5-Series
Pickup truck Toyota Tacoma
SUV Acura MDX
Minivan Honda Odyssey
Hybrid Toyota Prius

Discussion in 'Blogging' started by teguh123, Jan 19, 2010.
Besides adsense. Something I can press gas.
AdBrite has CPM too, however their clicks don't pay well.
I have several clickbank products I'm promoting
I personally use kontera on every blog with ad3ense. It has not hurt the ctr of the adsense, and makes it not look MFA.
If you are using CC, then add a list of related CB products to the links under the posts.
Or, if you are pretty targeted with the niche/blog, then find an affiliate program with a product related to your niche.
Normally, 1-2 CB sales per month will out preform your total monthly ad3ense revenue.
Hello johney,
Do you have any experience with clicksor that you can share with us? I may be interested in using them either instead of AdSense or concurrently but would like some direct feedback. Let us in on what you know!!
Thank you,
my advice to try the CC,this is the easy way to make ,second i advice the adsense, CB,amazon,or another super affilaite network ,but must be content with you webstie detail.
Hi everyone,
I seem to really be the one out of the loop here. I had a few questions for everyone/anyone that is willing to acknowledge me.
I see two posters have used the term "CC", what or who is "CC"? Also, several members have mentioned clicksor, kontera and adbrite. Currently, I am monetizing solely from AdSense. I would like to know what anyone's experiences with these other programs have been.
Have you used them in combination with other programs and how does this effect the other program? Have you seen better ad revenue, versus AdSense, from any of these programs? Do any of them, including AdSense, have policies in place that prohibit place competitor ads on your site?
I was not able to find any literature in the forums pertaining to any of these questions and I would like an experienced perspective. I appreciate any and all advice in advance.
Thank you,
CC is caffeinated content (look in the download section).
As for kontera with adsense, I make maybe $1 per day with kontera. Not much by any stretch of the imagination. But when I started using it, the CTR of the adsense either stayed the same or increase. So, my adsense revenue went up by about 10%. Maybe that is because the non-relevant kontera ads make the adsense ads look more intriguing.
And, kontera and adsense can work together.
Clicksor is contextual advertising network that works on revenue share basis. We pay our publisher up to 60% of advertiser revenue share, depending on the performance the advertiser attain from your website placement.
Not like most of other networks, at Clicksor, all payments are on a bi-weekly schedule and subject to net-15 term policy. You may choose to receive your payments by Check or Paypal with a minimum payout of $50.

The attention-grabbing Arab-Israeli conflict hits the headlines almost daily. Gaza launches rockets at Israel, and Israel retaliates. Israel destroys the terror tunnels dug by members of Hamas or individuals enticed into digging them. Talks in Cairo proceed or stall. The news regarding one or more of these details dominates broadcast news, print media and/or the Internet. Commentators and experts devote considerable time to explaining each and every phenomenon.
But seldom does the more intractable Arab-Palestinian conflict draw attention to itself. Jordan, for example, stripped many of the Palestinians resident in the country of their citizenship back in 2009 without much fanfare. The purpose of the removal of thousands of citizenship was the reduction of the number of Palestinians in the kingdom. The government of Jordan has never really liked hosting large numbers of Palestinians.
Syria attacked and destroyed many Palestinians in the 1980s; Lebanon wages war against the Palestinians forced to reside in that country through discriminating policies and laws. The Palestinians can't own property and are forbidden to work in many professions. They can't become citizens. The refugee camp near the Beirut-Rafic Hariri International Airport has long been a disgrace to humanity.
Saudi Arabia has never trusted the Palestinians, even those willing and able to contribute to the economy of the country. As early as the late-1960s, participants in public gatherings could feel tension if and when Palestinians were present. Guards were often posted throughout the crowds. Concern about the Palestinians' intentions and possible actions was evident.
The Arab-Israeli conflict remains a major concern for many countries, and it should. The loss of life and the social upheaval brought on by such battles as those occurring quite frequently between Hamas and Israel disrupt the lives of many people on both sides of the question. Peace talks between and among the various factions appear at times almost comical but hopefully will ultimately lead to some type of accord. Israel continues to be maligned for its treatment of the Palestinians, and the treatment should not be dismissed out of hand.
A major and very influential dimension of the Middle East conflict, however, remains essentially unaddressed: the Arab-Palestinian conflict. Until that dimension receives the appropriate attention, the Arab-Israeli dispute will probably not be settled.
The various Arab states must forego many of their fears and hatreds of the Palestinians and agree to work with the international community in helping the Palestinians establish a home and an existence worthy of any group of human beings. They should cease using Hamas as the ploy or frontman in their attempt to gain advantages over Israel. They should become more realistic and acknowledge that Israel will likely become an increasingly strong nation with which they will have to build, whether or not they wish to do so.
Israel must continue to defend itself against brutal attacks but should begin to develop a regional plan that clearly shows the Arab states how it can benefit from Israeli aid and manpower.
To illustrate, Iran benefitted from Israeli expertise in agriculture before the Islamic Revolution, and the two countries enjoyed cordial relations under the Shah.
The United States, in turn, must abandon its narrow Arab-Israeli approach to Middle East diplomacy and tackle the Arab-Israeli and Arab-Palestinian conflicts simultaneously. Only with a broader approach to the Middle East can the U.S. hope to move the region toward peace and prosperity.
Franklin T. Burroughs received his Ed.D. in Middle East Studies and Comparative Education from UCLA. He lived and worked in Iran, Saudi Arabia and Lebanon for 15 years and served as a liaison between the then-shah of Iran and President Jimmy Carter. The Walnut Creek resident has published a memoir, "The Pepper Tree Kingdom."

Fight : There's a terrifying truth facing today's men, and it's caught many off guard. But once that first overwhelming challenge hits, the reality about evil becomes clear: Every one of us is in a fight for our lives. The enemy is real - and so is the danger. But powerful forces convince us to ignore the spiritual war surrounding us. And that willing surrender ensures the total destruction of all we hold dear. But a new generation of God's men is beginning to engage with the tools and training to take the fight to the enemy and respond with boldness and duty. This book is the manual for recognizing the deceptions about doing true spiritual battle, realizing the roles men play at the front lines, and rescuing the captives from the enemy's stronghold.

The site is going through changes but the theme of horror remains the same. Horror from the gaming world (pen/paper to cards to that thing that made NAME EDITED almost throw up on Steam) to Comics (30 Days!) to tv/movies, and even the occasional book. All that and guest writers?! How cool. Can't wait.
If it's horror—it'll be here.

Watch the latest at Liberty Lite
When Don Corleone told Johnny Fontane about Woltz, "I'm gonna make him an offer he can't refuse," he meant it! No one is to mess with Don Corleone, mob lord and the Godfather himself. Those who thought otherwise had only one solution – eventual death and if you thought of defying his law, it would be slow, gruesome and bloody.
Three decades later, words uttered by the first mob lord still resonate in the ears of those who loved the movie and who dutifully watched all three. Movies are a one door access to a fictional world which takes you a notch closer to a life that you would have dreamt of living at some point, travelling to some of the most exotic places and experiencing the unknown or better yet, living the life of Don Corleone.
Great or even perhaps good movies are released every month. Living far away from these big production houses has placed most Sri Lankans who love watching movies in theatres in a sad plight. As it takes a couple of months for our cinemas to get their hands on the latest releases, most of us end up watching the movie on big screen a couple of months after it has been released globally. Although the situation has improved through the years, it still takes time for a new movie to be shown here. But fear not, Sri Lanka's newest cinema; 'Liberty Lite' promises to bring the newest and latest movies to you.
Located right next to the old dame Liberty cinema, the 'Liberty Lite' is a 130 seater cinema which caters to those who want to watch the latest movies in comfort and with plenty of leg space.
Speaking to the proprietor, Anura Jasenthuliyana, "Liberty Lite hopes to bring down and show the latest movies to the public. One of the biggest issues in cinemas here is the fact that there is a delay in showing the newest releases to the public but we hope to counter this issue and get down the latest and give the people the chance of watching something new."
ccordingly, the cinema has tied up with three big production houses, namely, DreamWorks, Universal Studios and Paramount Pictures to ensure that they can bring down the newest movies released globally. The cinema is fully equipped With Dolby Digital sounds and organized seating arraignments,
Liberty Lite is coming out with a bang by showing the most recent movie release 'Fast and Furious 5 (Fast Five)' -the latest installment to its series. The movie stars Vin Diesel, Paul Walker and Dwayne Johnson and not forgetting several fast vehicles.
The cinema will open its doors to the public on 13 May, with its first show at 10.30 am and will thereafter show three shows at 1.30pm, 4.15pm and 7pm. Tickets are priced at Rs 350 for adults and Rs 220 for kids and can be reserved on www.ticketslk.com.

John T.
Lesson Details
- Levels Taught:
- Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced
John teaches
- Teaches students:
- Ages 10 to 80
- Teaching since:
- May 1974
My name is John, and I have been a guitar teacher here in Marin County, Ca since 1990. Before that I taught guitar and played gigs in the Kansas City area since 1974. I taught at Mt Tam School in Mill Valley for 10 years 1999 to 2009, and I taught part time at Branson HS in Ross Ca from 2006 to 2017. I am a patient, fun teacher and I teach everyone from beginner to semi pro. I can teach you to read, and to improvise over songs, and my specialty is chord, scale relationships, and chord building. I travel to you if you live in Marin or southern Sonoma County. My fees are reasonable and are figured on distance from me to you. I also teach over the internet which I have done with numerous students over the years.
I'd like to say a few words about my early lessons with you. If you are a beginner, we will start by becoming comfortable with the guitar, and explaining how it works, i.e. how to hold the guitar, how to hold the pick, some strumming tips, and explaining a bit about how the musical alphabet works, and any questions you have will be answered. If you've played before I will ask you some questions about what direction you want to take, and if you can, I will hear you play. If you are shy don't worry about that, you won't need to play for me. We will learn to find all notes on the guitar neck quickly, and will make sure your technique is proper. If you desire to learn to read music, I will also introduce that subject to you. Some other early lesson topics will include some picking exercises, and technique related issues. The lessons are geared for you, so you can let me know what you want to work on. Thank you and looking forward to our first lesson.
Guitar coachSep 2005 - Present
I have worked with the guitarists in music and performance class, which is for all incoming guitarists. The class learns the basics of the guitar including reading, playing chord progressions, Note identification, and includes small group performances for the school. Quite a few of my freshmen have continued with private lessons with me after the completion of the class. Some of them study on Skype because of scheduling problems. Skype lessons are a wonderful way to learn, and the students seem to find them enjoyable and useful.+ Read More

John is a great guitar teacher. He is friendly, relaxed and easy-going. John provides just the right amount of music theory. He keeps things moving during the lessons so there is time to cover and practice a concept. He is patient and there is zero pressure. John is conscientious and reliable about scheduling.+ Read More
Excellent Instructor with loads of information from the first lesson!
I've been working with John for a while and have learned so much! We've been working on everything from acoustic guitar to electric bass, and I couldn't ask for a better instructor. Not only is John a great teacher, he's a fun person to be around!+ Read More
John has been a respected and valued member of our music faculty at The Branson School for over 12 years where he has taught worked with our jazz ensembles and taught our guitar students both in class and privately. He is well liked by both students and faculty, and his knowledge of technique and music theory is both extensive and practical. John is a wonderful colleague who is always upbeat and positive, and his students appreciate his approachability and warmth. John is a teacher of unimpeachable integrity, and I am happy to give him my most enthusiastic recommendation!+ Read More
John is very enthusiastic and patient, even with absolute beginners. He is always on time and keeps the student engaged throughout the entire lesson. We would definitely recommend John!
I am NOT a gifted guitarist and am slow to get it! John's incredible passion for guitar and music is totally evident and along with his never ending patience keeps me there for the long haul. John helps demistify the complex aspects and I am able to progress much quicker than self study programs on the internet. One would be hard pressed to find a better more qualified teacher.+ Read More
John is an awesome teacher. His most valuable trait is his ability to contextualize everything he teaches. Intervals and chord progressions are not just a product of music theory, but songs that I can relate to. He's very knowledgeable and is very good at explaining what I don't understand. John makes learning the guitar fun and rewarding. I'd definitely recommend him.+ Read More
I feel as though I have made huge progress under John. He has extremely extensive knowledge about music theory and history. He has an easy going approach to teaching, and is suitable for advanced and beginner players, especially if you are interested in jazz music. He is very flexible concerning locations, and will play with you over Skype if necessary.+ Read More
John has worked with me on bass and guitar for 2 years, both at my school and through skype! We've covered a lot of theory and applied it to a bunch of chords and songs. He's the nicest music teacher I've ever had and he has the best song suggestions. :)+ Read More
I have been taking private lessons with John once a week since the beginning of the school year, and I can definitely say that my guitar skills have improved significantly since before then. Every week I learn new material from soloing which used to seem impossible to new chord shapes. I would recommend John to anyone in the Marin area looking for an upbeat teacher to teach them new ways to play the guitar.+ Read More
I was a guitar student of John's for nine years, beginning at the age of nine. When I started with John I'd never even held a guitar before, much less played a note of music. As a student, I went from learning the basics of the instrument to playing easy, beginner songs, to studying far deeper aspects of Music Theory eventually. Through it all, John always pushed me to reach further to be a better student and musician. And he taught me with a very welcome sense of humor, as well. I can't imagine there being a better teacher for me to have studied with.+ Read More

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) – A judge plans to issue his verdict next week in the trial of a man accused of killing three people at a Brooklyn Park home last year.
Thirty-five-year-old Eddie Mosley chose to have his first-degree murder trial in front of a judge instead of a jury.
Mosley is charged in the April 9, 2012, deaths of 59-year-old DeLois Brown and Brown's parents, 83-year-old James Bolden Sr. and 81-year-old Clover Bolden. All three were killed in Brown's home, where she ran a day care.
Prosecutors argued Mosley drove from his home in St. Louis to Brooklyn Park intending to kill a girl he was accused of sexually assaulting in Minnesota.
The defense contends Mosley had no motive to kill the victims. The Star Tribune reports Mosley did not testify

A walk to nearby wine tasting will be on the non-schedule for Saturday. A walk to the river is a must as well. Disc golf, bike & walking trails are a small part of what make this an enjoyable fall camping spot.
Plan on a Saturday night informal potluck. I look forward to hearing about everyone's great adventures.
Please feel free to contact me with any suggestions or questions.

No Right Answer: Comedian Who Was Funny
Pages PREV 1 2 3
I never really understood why people think Steve Martin is funny. I can never watch a movie he is in, I get this feeling, I'm not sure how to translate it into English properly but I would describe it as substitute embarrassment. His movies are usually so bad, so lacking in actual comedy and just embarrassing that I cannot escape getting that same feeling.
I'm a bit offended that amongst all the movies they mentioned in their argumentation the following 2 didn't come up:
adam sandler at his best in comedy (back when hollywood wasn't as uptight about stuff): Little Nicky
These 2 movies are by far some of my favourite works in comedy and drama and to anyone that hasn't seen either one of them I HIGHLY recommend watching them!
You can't get much more funny than hitler in a black&white maid's outfit getting a huge pineapple shoved up his anus and eternal sunshine is simply one of the most moving movies I've ever seen, it's just so lovely.
Despite the fact that he was mentioned in the debate, I'm of the mind that Eddie Murphy fell further than either Carrey or Sandler. His SNL sketches? Consistently well-written and acted. His first batch of movies (re: Beverly Hills Cop, Coming to America)? Still worth watching in this day and age.
And then came the fat suit.
Don't get me wrong, dulling an edgy comic's fangs with family movies is always a bad career move. But you can kind of tell when a comedian starts running out of ideas when they say "Hey guys, what if I pretended to be morbidly obese for two hours?"
Honorable mention goes to Jimmy Kimmel. He's followed the same career arc as Sandler, but he's had the common decency to keep it strictly to late night television, meaning he can be easily ignored.
hey hey hey! "that's my boy was awesome"! sure it wasn't happy Gilmore great but i was in stitches man, oh and grown ups was pretty funny too Sander has some duds but he was some good movies recently too.
Really liked this one guys! I find you're best episodes are the ones like this where there is two layers.
For example, 'Best ***** movie' can get a bit boring. 'Best thing that was a thing but isn't any more'; well that just gives you much more scope for interesting discussion. Something like 'most ***** that you most love to hate', OR '***** that you hate to love.'
Keep up the good work guys, love the show as always.
Adam Sandler and Jim Carrey both used to be more funny than they are today.
But Adam Sandler I feel hasn't really made anything good lately. He's trying. A lot. But he's never actually funny. For every 10 jokes, only 1 of them pulls through and gives you a chuckle.
Jim Carrey still has some comedies. (even though most of them are drama-comedies) I LOVED Bruce Almighty. I LOVED Yes man. I absolutely adored Truman Show. Even the Cable Guy I liked.

Danish wind turbines set a new world record in 2015. Wind power is now counted for 42.1 per cent of the total electricity consumption in Denmark, according to data published on Friday (15 January).
The percentage of wind power in Denmark's overall electricity mix is the highest in the world. Last year, the share was 39.1 per cent, which was a record, according to Energinet, which runs the power grids.
Out of the 8760 hours of 2015, the western part of the country produced wind power during 1460 of them, said Energinet's Carsten Vittrup.
"It's not unusual that we have hours where the wind production is greater than the actual consumption. But in the western part of the country, it has sometimes been 16 per cent more, and that illustrates that with a volatile electricity production, we are able to import and export across our borders," Vittrup said in a statement.
The new Danish wind power was exported to Norway, Sweden and Germany, while Denmark bought hydropower from Norway and solar power from Germany.
Power plants that run on coal and bio mass still play an important role as "buffer" in the power supply, Vittrup pointed out, when there's no production of wind power or solar enegy.
The Danish parliament wants the Scandinavian country to get at least half of its electric power from wind by 2020. According to the forecast, this target looks to be met. By 2030, the country hopes that 90 per cent of the electricity and heating supply will come from renewable energy.
In 2005, wind energy counted for 18.7 per cent of the total electricity consumption. In 2010, the share had increased to 22 per cent, and in 2012, the share was 30 per cent.
In the UK, wind power likewise had a record-breaking year. According to figures from the National Grid, 11 per cent of the UK's electricity was sourced from wind power in 2015 – up from 9.5 per cent the previous year.
Overall, wind provided enough electricity to meet the demands of more than 8.25 million homes – almost a third of UK households – compared to 6.7 million homes in 2014.
