Andover High School has been in the headlines for weeks as a result of an alleged hazing incident that took place last summer at a basketball camp. We grew used to the sight of news vans parked across the street, as local, regional, and national media eagerly tried to learn about the allegations and gauge student response.
Most students expressed shock and revulsion upon learning of the incident. The students seemed to agree that his was an anomaly, but at the same time the whole school was shaken.
However, most students want to put the events behind them and to focus instead on the school's achievements. In order to combat some of the negative feelings and to initiate positive spirit, art teacher Ms. Dunning has been working on two banners across the top of which are dispalyed the words "Andover Pride." Students have the option to decorate a cutout hand and attach it to a banner. One banner is displayed at the top of the main stairs, and the other is on display in the cafeteria.
"It's just for fun," Ms. Dunning stated. "Right now there's a lot of upset. Kids feel bad, and maybe through art people can do something about it."
"It's positive," she added.
So far the initiative has received an enthusiastic response. "Kids are excited," Ms. Dunning said. "I can hear them walk by and say, 'Do you want to see my hand?'"
Hopefully, this art project will remind AHS of all that it has to be proud of and will reinforce our sense of community.
"We want [to emphasize] 'Andover Pride' because it's a good school with good kids," Ms. Dunning emphatically concluded.

Featured Employee: Mike WeaverShare
Learn more about Mike Weaver, Construction Foreman with roughly 16 years of experience with Weaver Construction. Mike works primarily in residential renovations.
Q: Can you describe a typical day on the job as a construction foreman?
The job of the foreman is to keep the job running on time and smoothly and to deal with unforeseen developments as they arise. I'm also responsible for delegating work and keeping the crews and the clients informed each step of the way. I'm always in direct communication with the homeowner and the project manager throughout the job.
In renovations we're often working with older homes, and that means dealing with the unexpected, so I have to do a lot of troubleshooting. There really is no typical day in remodeling. I work on everything from renovating a hundred-year-old house to doing a small kitchen bumpout. I'm usually working on about three jobs at a time, one that's finishing up, one that's midway and one that's just starting. Finding a good balance between those three jobs is a big part of my job.
Q: Do you have a favorite project?
The Sandstone Farmhouse remodel we did in Mohnton is probably my favorite. We renovated it completely. It wasn't just the job, the people were great, too, and the property was beautiful. It had two fishing ponds.
Q: What do you like best about your job? What do you like least?
My favorite aspect of the job is the group of guys I work with. They're awesome. Every one of them is top of the line.
Seeing the progress of a remodel every day is also a favorite aspect of my job, seeing immediate results from a hard day's work. When we start the job and tear everything up it looks horrible. Then seeing the progress and the end product, that's awesome.
Without a doubt, my least favorite part is the dirt—tearing out old insulation, old plaster. It's very dirty work.
Q: What is it like to work at Weaver?
The teamwork is great. I also very much appreciate that it's a Christ-centered company.
Ken and Randy Weaver are approachable and laid back. They communicate really well and they trust us as field guys. That's really important.
Q: What do you like to do when you're not renovating houses?
When I'm not at work I enjoy spending time with my family. I have a three-year-old daughter and she takes up a lot of my time, and I love every second of it. I also enjoy fishing and hunting.

A hydrocarbon field has a long life cycle:
From the discovery of a petroleum deposit to the first oil/gas, exploration and production activities are spread over several decades. Five main steps can be distinguished in the life of an oil or gas field:
1 | Field discovery
> oil and gas are trapped in reservoir rocks buried underground (on shore/ off shore),
> to locate hydrocarbon accumulation, Boost's geoscientists analyze images of the earth's subsurface produced by seismic echography. They build a model of geological layering of the subsurface, and then identify potential reservoirs called «prospects»,
> exploration wells need to be drilled to check if the identified prospect does indeed contain hydrocarbons. These wells are typically several kilometers deep.
2 | Field evaluation
Once discovery has been confirmed, 3D numerical reservoir simulation models are built:
> to estimate the initial volume of oil and gas in the reservoir,
> to simulate the reservoir fluid flow behavior and optimize the field development scenario (number, type and location of wells, level of field production, etc…).
Appraisal wells are drilled to improve the field description through further data acquisition.
An economic assessment is performed taking into account revenue according to production forecasts and the estimated development costs.
If the required economic criteria are met, the field is developed and then produced.
3 | Field development
A field development plan establishes the following:
> the number of wells to be drilled to reach production objectives,
> the recovery techniques to be used to extract the fluids within the reservoir,
> the type and cost of installations, such as platforms, depending on the marine environment (tides, storms, waves, winds, corrosion, …),
> the separation systems for gas and fluids,
> the treatment systems needed to preserve the environment.
Rotary drilling is the most widespread drilling technique and has been constantly upgraded: deviated wells, horizontal wells and, more recently, multi- drain wells. Those new technologies allow to mitigate the surface foot print of the project and to increase well productivity.
4 | Field production
The time period over which hydrocarbons may be extracted varies between 15 to 30 years and may be extended up to 50 years or more for «giant fields».
The lifetime of a reservoir is composed of different successive phases:
> a period of production increase,
> a stabilization phase or «plateau»,
> injection phases (water, gas or chemical products) to «assist» the hydrocarbon recovery and thus maintain a satisfactory volume of produced resources,
> the depletion period when hydrocarbon production declines progressively.
Deep offshore
Significant technological developments have been recently made in exploration and production deep offshore (more than 1000 m water depth). Many wells have already been drilled in this range of depth but producing deep offshore fields remains particularly complex and expensive and still represents, today, a technological challenge.
5 | Field abandonment
When the hydrocarbon production rate becomes non economical, the reservoir is abandoned.
Before abandoning the field, Boost:
> dismantles facilities such as platforms,
> puts the well in a safe state,
> preserves the field's residual hydrocarbon reserves of the field,
> cleans, depollutes and rehabilitates the site.

What decorations do you have on your refrigerator? Here is mine.
Yes, those are Buddhist monks on a roller coaster...
To post a picture use [ img ] Image URL [ /img ] without the spaces.
I'd post a picture, but my fridge is full of pictures magnets of my two kids.
I completely understand...that's why I'm not doing mine...like the forum idea, but there are too many pervs and convicts who would absolutely love to see my kids...must protect them dearly by not having them on the net...
Aww I saw your name and I was interested to see what was on your fridge but I understand if you have pics of your kids. How about you take them pics off, then take a pic.
then you would see an ugly bare fridge! I have a gallery style picture format of all my six kids, family, and friends on my walls too...some say it's cluttered to have million f pics everywhere, but I'm proud of what I am blessed with...
Oh ok. Yea all that's on mine is my work schedule.
I have a gallery pictures setting of the kids all over the house and the frig...some say it's cluttered and chaotic...but I think it's beautiful....
looking at everyone's pictures, the laborious trouble that went into my frig and house pales in comparison to others...
I am WAAAAY too tired to do the whole pic-taking-downloading-posting thing, but suffice it to say that I have a lot of business cards on one side (the hidden side) and my middle daughter's certificates of being on the Dean's list at her college on the front! On the side closest to the stove, I have magnetic jars with my everyday herbs and spices.
So we have: an invitation to my cousin's bat-mitzvah, concert tickets, grad party invitation, when my bills are due, a pic of me and my cousin as little babes, my sticker from when i voted the first time ever, a b-day card. And a note from my sister that says "need milk and tampons haha"
Mine isn't worth a picture. One magnet with the phone number of the local House of Pizza and a magnetic bottle opener.
The pic is of the top half of my fridge only You don't wanna see the bottom half...
I don't have a bottom half of the frig or bottom half of shelves. etc...kids, dogs, cats,pig would obliterate whatever is 4 feet or below in the house...
I have no handy, working, camera. The front of my refrigerator has one pretty little "welcome friends" magnet, two color pot-holders, and wooden gingerbread man (known as "G Man"). On the side we have some business magnets (the dentist, the vet, etc.), a few other magnets (a couple of cute ones, a historical town one, and a Centrum one); and a picture of a Teddy Bear family (cut out from a calendar). There's also a little card with family's phone numbers on it for emergencies. (Oh - and even though nobody watches sports, a Red Sox or Patriots schedule. It helps for people planning to need parking spaces in Boston. ). I like to aim for a refrigerator that's clean looking and yet friendly and warm without being too cluttery. It is kind of funny how our refrigerators tell a story.
Mine has political campaign stickers, magnets and bumper stickers of various campaigns I have worked on or contributed to in some way. I also have some pictures of my adorable cousins and one of those magnetic pads that I never use. There are also lots of vintage magnets for french alcoholic beverages and cigars as well as vintage travel poster magnets. (I love magnets with vintage images on them!)

"If events are matched closely enough to course, they have a way of restructuring themselves to familiar outcomes." ~ Scorpius, Farscape
No ty.
O GOD NO! I HATE LEAGUE!!! AND I'M A COLLECTOR!! This mean I'm FORCED to play this again for the new Turelim skin.
And PLEASE told to me the "Easter Chests" is only a dumb joke, PLEASE was an HELL to take the Bloody Survivor in the Halloween event, NOW YOU WANT RELEASE 10/11/12 SKINS? I HATE YOU SO MUCH!!!
Instead of thinking of this dumb things, why you don't focus in the Beastmaster and Rahabim classes?
And another thing, we all said to you we WANT the Trade system, and you say it is not in program because you must think in most important content. THE EASTER CHESTS IS MORE IMPORTANT? Really? The people HATE! The chests, I don't know if you understand it, but they HATE THEM! So please STOP DOING THIS !

"If events are matched closely enough to course, they have a way of restructuring themselves to familiar outcomes." ~ Scorpius, Farscape
Hey Psyonix,
just in case you were wondering if the League was well received:
This is the first time I ever hear anyone complain about Ranked.. it's such a solid, well rounded and fun mode - not to mention all those carrots dangling around - delicious.
And the best part is, you keep talking to us all the time about it and adress our concerns. So nice of you.
Keep it up
#Sarcasm #BurnTheMoney
Last edited by Bazielim; 2nd Mar 2016 at 13:36.
Yeah i got to agree with everyone else. Please stop the league, give us a break plz!!!
Where is the hype of a new league starting in the next week or two, now its just solid wall to wall leagues really??? T
Thats no fun and your reward for this league is a skin we already have but with a tattoo that noone will notice in the arena... seriously? Well done, almost as good as a gold skinned gun for the beatmaster... it feels like you devs are losing the will to live..
I love Nosgoth, I love the Lore, but you guys are killing us out here.
Thanks for reading.
"If events are matched closely enough to course, they have a way of restructuring themselves to familiar outcomes." ~ Scorpius, Farscape
nosgoth. nosgoth never changes.
skins, keys, runestones etc are good for solo random league with good personal points system (almost classical dm).
if you wanna teamplay (brrr) and cash then go in esl. at least there fair teamplay.

Every time they do this... Again and again its the same. I feel totally numb since November I think when all the possible relevant feedback has been collected and nothing has changed since then, not even planned to be changed (only lobbydodging will get fixed - when launcher is finished? ok, half a year waiting is fine)
The devs just keep squeezing us for data:
I believe the data the devs collect will be affected by stronger and more significant factors such as the different reward, the BM release and, more importantly, the player exhaustion we clearly witness here. So that data will barely be useful anyway, unless its the player tolerance they measure
Even numb I'm still amazed they push the new league into the BM release despite all the people asking for league results not being interferred with it. Maybe the devs realistically see BM not getting its release before the end of 6.0?
I really really wish the development of this game turns its face to the community sometime and will build its value upon feedback. One can only dream of things like this Feedback form (its an example from Paladins game) I'm quite sure its a very valuable and easy tool Nosgoth could use, when it will be ready to act upon that feedback of course. And that is still not now, sadly.

While this game needs some minor tweaking here and there, I am actually quite happy with the balance for the most part.
Nothing is SOOO OP that you simply have to play it all the time (at least class-wise) and some classes even have multiple viable builds.
No, if the game needs improving, then in ALL of the other Areas:
WTF is this Inventory? Everything is an item in this game, eventhough it doesn't need to be.
The Forge is a joke - you can never really get what you want and just waste resources.
Exotic Items - Still not tradable and useless, cluttering the Inventory even more
And last but not least:
A dedicated 2-man mode (in a 4-man team game), that encourages dodging lobbies, being toxic and furthers frustration by dangling an unwanted amount of cash in front of the playerbase, obtained simply by grinding with only limited control over how many and if at all you get any points.
So for the last *** time:
Steps to improve ranked:
- Make Lobby dodging impossible.
- Create a better algorithm for determining league point loss/gain, which is dependant on match score (and/or personal performance.)
- Reduce or REMOVE the cash prizes and replace them with Runestones and more items.
Alternatively, I have already given thourough feedback and a better suggestion on how to tackle Leagues, and make it a real competitive environment, not the farce as it is now.
And here's a crazy thought:
Maybe when the community is unilatteraly screaming at you for something, maybe not ignore it for half a year and do whatever regardless - that could be cool.
Just saying.

And I'm here like.
For a second I thought I might have to make myself play this league since tyrant stuff is the reward. But then I read that it is just ANOTHER recolor of the default skin. Super lame dudes, just like leagues in general. Just reflecting that leagues are in fact the reason I stopped playing this game, regular games are much more fun - pls make leagues die.

The blood tier prize is just a recolouring of the default Tyrant skin? No disrespect but there's already the daily reward palette swap of the default & the marked skin is the default aswell. Why not do the platemail instead? Or that Sentinel skin called Dark Angel's Carapace? You could make the orange bits a dark grey, the gold bits red & the turquoise bits black. That would be awesome.
Orange liches from Blood Omen in Nosgoth asap pls
I never post on the forums but this is getting serious.
First of all take the leagues off already because as almost everyone in this thread already said, for now leagues are the worst thing you can do to Nosgoth. Also what the hell is wrong with the league points? I even sent you guys an e-mail (which you did respond) talking about my last games of the League Beta 5.0 that were supposed to get me to Blood since I don't have that much time to play, but then I do 3 or 4 amazing wins which only gave me 4, 6, 8 and 12 points (if I am not mistaken) which prevented me to get the prize that I punished myself into getting by playing leagues. So if you aren't going to do anything besides saying sorry to make it up to me, please prevent it to happen to future players by taking leagues off and fixing problems such as this one.
Thank you for reading
Just a warning, breaking the ToU by swearing will not get your response, so please refrain from that. I get your frustrations, but this is not the way to get the attention.
What choice do we have though? The entire crew over at the office might have been assassinated and it wouldn't make any difference whatsoever from our point of view because they're being dead quiet anyway, pun sort-of intended.
Atleast this way something happens to validate our screams for attention.
And i'm pretty sure you just enjoy nosgoth, not ranked specifically, I do too.

Before I had this job, saying thank you often got forgotten. It was a lost relic in my busy life.
Over the past year, I have gotten to say thank you more than ever before in my life.
And I have come to love the privilege of getting to say thank you more than I ever thought I could.
You see, how our work goes is that, in order to be able to do this full time, we rely on a large team of other people to make our work possible. Without other people's creative ideas and execution, prayers, financial backing, and time spent with us in South Dallas, what we do and how we do it would simply not be possible.
So in everything we do, we don't feel like we do it alone but rather that we are empowered and enabled to care so committedly and passionately for homeless men and women in South Dallas because we have a team around us at all times.
Even when others are not present with us physically on the streets, we carry a keen sense that they are part of our work.
A year ago, when I began fundraising to be able to do this work full-time, I was terrified of the journey ahead. You see, I had always worked business jobs where I got paid a salary for my time and the job I did. Back then, the thought of being reliant on other people's generous hearts to help make end's meet made me feel like I was somehow less than.
After a year of watching people give in so many different ways, ways I couldn't have even imagined, I see fundraising totally differently.
Our dependence on others has become a privilege.
We are dependent much like our brothers and sisters on the streets are dependent. And we get to work with a huge team of people who, though they can't always be present with us on the streets, literally allow to do the work we believe in so much. Our lives our changed and so are people's lives on the streets.
And now, one of my absolute favorite parts of my job is getting to say thank you. And so I say it now:
Thank you all for your support of us over the past year.
Thank you for reading our stories, for funding our causes, and for creating your own ways to help the homeless.
Thank you for your love and support for us as people.
Thank you for sharing our work with others.
This month, we will be launching a new website. It is called
The Human Impact
. We look forward to sharing more information about it soon! Happy New Year!

Six thousand people die unnecessarily every year in the UK because of a lack of specialist stroke care, it was said today.
An audit carried out by the Royal College of Physicians found that only 36pc of stroke patients spent any time at all in a stroke unit.
In 1999, 25pc of stroke patients spent most of their stay in a specialist unit and by 2001-02 this had increased to 27pc.
The college said if this rate continued it would be 73 years before all patients with a stroke spent half of their hospital time in a dedicated stroke unit.
Dr Tony Rudd, of Guy's and St Thomas' Hospital in London and chairman of the RCP's intercollegiate working party for stroke, said evidence suggested that 19pc fewer people would die and overall 29pc fewer would end up dead or disabled if they were treated in a specialist stroke unit. That amounted to 6,000 more people dying, or 12,500 left dead or disabled, every year in the UK.
"People are dying unnecessarily and living with long-term disability, some of which could have been avoided, because of the failure to deliver specialist stroke care," he said.
The British Association of Stroke Physicians said the audit showed an urgent need for more resources at all levels.
But a Department of Health spokeswoman said: "The audit provides sound evidence that improvements are being made and patients are benefiting from more effective stroke care."
Six per cent of all acute beds in the NHS are occupied by patients who are ready to leave but are not being discharged, a report by MPs said today. The Health Select Committee report said these "delayed discharges" were "both a symptom and cause of poor bed management in hospitals or a failure at the interface of health and social care".

A drunken murder squad detective convicted of terrorising a village pub in Fylingthorpe has been sacked.
Det Sgt Paul Whiteley nearly lost his liberty when he tried to appeal against his original conviction "to save his skin" - and now his rampage has cost him his job.
He escaped with a fine equivalent to one and a half weeks wages when he was first found guilty of common assault by Scarborough magistrates court in July.
But when he tried to overturn the verdict in October he was given a suspended jail sentence for what a York crown court judge called the disgraced officer's "aggressive and bullying behaviour".
Whiteley's career with West Yorkshire Homicide and Major Enquiry Team is now over following disciplinary proceedings this week.
Det Ch Supt Clive Wain, of West Yorkshire Police's Professional Standards Department, said "Following a recent conviction for assault, an officer was dismissed on Tuesday without notice for gross misconduct.
"West Yorkshire Police expects the highest standards of professionalism from all officers and staff and will take appropriate disciplinary action against anyone who fails to meet those standards."
Whiteley, 51, of Wakefield, was on holiday with then partner Claire Hughes and spent the afternoon drinking in the pub.
They stayed for seven hours and had downed the best part of three bottles of red Shiraz wine between them before they were spotted staggering towards their car.
Holiday maker Carl Sarsfield, 41 stopped them driving and back inside the pub an argument and fight broke out.
Whiteley had been suspended since the incident in May 2013.

Small Business Financing News: Working and Growth Capital is Readily Available Despite Credit Crunch
According to the Federal Reserve, $40 billion worth of loans to small businesses have disappeared in the last 2 years. A recent CNN article reports that loans to small businesses have reportedly dropped from more than $710 billion in the second quarter of 2008 to less than $670 billion in the first quarter of 2010.
After the recent debacle in the credit markets, loose credit is no longer readily available as banks implement more stringent criteria to secure loans. The challenge for many businesses is not so much a "credit crunch" but overcoming unrealistic borrowing expectations.
It's very similar to the bubble burst in the housing market where we've had to firmly reset our expectations of the residential real estate market borrowing possibilities. While banks are returning to more prudent small business lending practices based on realistic asset value and ability to repay debt alternative small business lenders have always focused primarily on assets.
With the widespread tightening of lending standards, businesses who aren't a good fit for marquee lenders need to look outside the bankable box to these private investment banks who are readily available to help businesses secure financing for appropriate working and growth capital.
If your business currently doesn't fit a bank's lending risk profile, you may be interested in learning more about how to secure Alternative Financing and Small Business Loans for Working and Growth Capital.
To learn more about how your business can secure the funding it needs, visit US Capital Partners, Inc. at http://www.uscapitalpartners.net/ or call (415) 882-7160.

Find Your Pause Today
Writing in your pathway journal about a memorable place, but more importantly significant moments from your life, is the time-out you deserve. My purpose here is give you a way to discover your voice through the simplicity of storytelling. Stories have a sacred dimension. When craft is combined with intuition, the defining moments of life give rise to your voice. Today pause in your core writing to learn the creative possibilities as a storyteller.
The Wilderness Project – visit a physical place, your favorite place in nature, a place of beauty and light, possibly by the lake or seaside, or a remote wilderness away from the familiar as though you are going on a retreat, a hike, or an adventure. You might choose to visit such a place in your imagination as well as a physical location.
For example, I cannot get on a plane today and walk the hills and hollows of my grandfather's farm that has been in the family for one hundred years. The memories of this place have become a sacred landscape in my core writing that takes me "home" though I've never lived in Olive Hill, Kentucky.
For students of my "Write Now!" course, this assignment gives you the opportunity to practice writing with the elements of storytelling – fiction or creative nonfiction. This exercise can open your creativity and help you apply what you learn in class - how to begin core writing in your pathway journal.
Part I of the Wilderness Writing Project
You should write a fully developed short story about this special place. Yes, write at least 4 or 5 pages double-spaced or continue writing as a longer work of nonfiction. A longer composition can help you master the features of storytelling. Using the pattern in this polished short story will help you apply these elements to any story you want to write.
After you've reworked your story, revisit the draft, reflect on these questions and write your responses as full paragraphs to the following:
Final Development for Class #4
Keep working on your development and revision.
The last paragraph of your story should:
I credit Dr. Rodney Frey, Professor of Ethnography at the University of Idaho for the Wilderness Project. I studied under his tutelage while earning an English degree in the late 1990s. You may learn more about this assignment in his book Stories That Make the World: Oral Literature of the Indian Peoples of the Inland Northwest.

Words Flow on the Page
How do we know our subject is worthwhile?
By the ease with which words flow onto the page. If writing is difficult, you're not writing what's true for you.
When we care about our subject we find ourselves writing a true story – whether it's fiction or nonfiction. Its truth resonates within you and your reader.

Writing Improves With Practice
"Don't try to figure out what other people want to hear from you; figure out what you have to say. It's the one and only thing you have to offer." Barbara Kingsolver
Kim's Thoughts:
Approach your writing with kindness to yourself and dedication to your craft. Remember, you improve your skill with practice. The joys, hardships, and challenges of disciplined writing will reward you with artistic prose. And the discovery that writing is an art form. Self-discovery through self-expression leads to universal truth and themes reflecting our culture and the human experience.

Pacific Standard Time
LA/LA: A Celebration Beyond Borders
J. Paul Getty Museum, Los Angeles, and 70 other cultural institutions
Opens September 15
A few years before she became chief curator of the Museum of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles, Helen Molesworth mounted an exhibition of art of the 1980s called "This Will Have Been." The title's rare verb tense — it's the future perfect, referring to some posterior moment not all the way in the distance — is one that the new US president, not known for his linguistic facilities, would do well to learn. On April 23, via the First Samsung, he tapped out this pronunciamento for the First Twitter Account: "Eventually, but at a later date so we can get started early, Mexico will be paying, in some form, for the badly needed border wall." Sorry, when? Eventually but later — in some hazy, retarded future anterior, between now and the day America becomes great again — something will have happened, something he can already tell you now. Numerous grammarians see the future perfect as an impossibility; it is, in that way, the perfect Trump tense.
In California, that will-have-been wall appears especially delusional — for here, the US and Latin America are already intertwined. Nearly four in ten people in the state are of Latin ancestry, a quarter of the country's undocumented immigrants live here, and Maluma and Romeo Santos sell out as many stadiums as Adele. So there's a particular kind of Americanness expressed through this third edition of Pacific Standard Time — a region-spanning collaboration years in the making, given extra urgency by the new administration's future-perfect immigration policies. Spearheaded by the Getty, PST unites museums, libraries, and universities from Santa Barbara to the border, all of which mount separate exhibitions arrayed around a single theme. This year it's California's hemispheric inheritance, stretching from the pre-Columbian era (in the Getty's own "Golden Kingdoms," an archaeological study of the Andes and Mexico) to last week. Whatever the future of the border, southern California's latinidad is already a fact.
Of the more than five dozen shows, not to mention performances and lectures and a few cooking classes, the most promising components of this year's PST examine Latin America as a region in constant motion, whose meanings and statuses don't easily correspond to lines on maps or languages spoken. At UCLA's Fowler Museum, the exhibition "Axé Bahia" studies the African influences on modern and contemporary art in northeastern Brazil. The Huntington Library, in Pasadena, looks at Spanish explorers' scientific and botanical documentation of the New World, placed alongside indigenous depictions of the continent's flora and fauna. The Japanese American National Museum will show art by immigrants to Lima and São Paulo, Asian and Latin American at once. And at the Mexican-American museum LA Plaza, "¡Murales Rebeldes!" reconstructs the community paintings of Roberto Chavez, Barbara Carrasco, and other California artists who found their voice not in galleries but on public barriers. Walls have more uses than one.
The Self-Evolving City
Seoul Museum of Art
Opens September 4
How to live together in a metropolitan area of 50 million? The architects and urban planners in this exhibition have spent the past year huddling at conferences and charrettes, and will unveil proposals for a new Seoul which draw more on cognitive science and evolutionary biology than on the top-down planning methods of the last century.
Rachel Whiteread
Tate Britain, London
Opens September 12
The quietest (and smartest) of the young guns lumped together in the 90s as Young British Artists, Whiteread hit on a technique and stuck with it: casting the undersides and voids of furniture or architecture in concrete, rubber, resin, or steel. Her melancholy, history-freighted art gets the full treatment in this long-awaited retrospective, though her greatest work, the Judenplatz Holocaust Memorial, remains in Vienna.
Opening of Zeitz Museum of Contemporary Art Africa
Cape Town, South Africa
Opens September 15
The former Puma CEO Jochen Zeitz has turned an operating grain silo in Cape Town's harbor into a Heatherwick monument to his personal art collection. The Zeitz is directed by the German collector's art advisor — though neither is willing to spill the beans on the collection's size or value. Fulfillment or folly? We reserve judgment until opening day, but you can always seek out some R&R at the continent's most expensive city hotel, just six floors above the museum.
15th Istanbul Biennial
Istanbul Modern and elsewhere
Opens September 16
The last edition, shadowed by a contested election, was hot enough; now the long-running exhibition finds itself in a country where the president has won dictatorial powers and journalists, academics, and Kurds languish in jail. (Even's fall issue reports from Istanbul courtroom where the editors of the country's best newspaper are on trial.) The artist duo Elmgreen and Dragset, curating this year's biennial, insist the show must go on. Whether it should is an open question.
Apichatpong Weerasethakul and Cão Guimaraes
EYE Film Institute, Amsterdam
Opens September 16
The Thai director — who also goes by the easier-to-pronounce sobriquet Joe — won the Palme d'Or at Cannes for his beneficent ghost story Uncle Boonmee Who Can Recall His Past Lives. But Apichatpong is also an artist and collaborator of Philippe Parreno and Rirkrit Tiravanija; this show, at the Netherlands' film museum, puts his moving images beside those of a similarly atmospheric Brazilian director.
Never Built New York
Queens Museum, New York
Opens September 17
A two-mile geodesic dome enveloping Midtown in clean air and room temperatures. A wasp-waisted tower over Grand Central, steel reinforced to withstand nuclear bombs. A utopian community on Ellis Island with moving sidewalks instead of cars. What was the New York that could have been, but never was? Visionary designs from the last two centuries are sure to add to a heavy dose of nostalgia to our present surroundings.
Louise Bourgeois
Museum of Modern Art, New York
Opens September 24
Lest we forget: Bourgeois was 70 years old when she first garnered acclaim, and her art is still ripe for further discovery. Before the sculptures, she made prints, and continued to make them in the last two decades of her life — donating a complete archive of 1,200 of them to the same museum that honored her with a retrospective in 1982. Now MoMA is making full use of its bequest by showing 220 of Bourgeois's printed works, still rarely seen and little known.
Somebody Called 1917
State Tretyakov Gallery, Moscow
Opens September 28
It's the centenary of the most momentous year in Russian history, which saw two revolutions that upended the tsar's rule and then put the Bolsheviks in the Kremlin. New York and London institutions have already mounted their Russian Revolution shows; this is the big one in the motherland. If museums here sometimes have to sidestep the full messiness of history, the 120 paintings and sculptures here, almost all from state collections, will nevertheless show the competing visions, agrarian and modernist, of what the new nation should look like.

Whopper of the Day: Night Duty
Don't you hate it when you go to bed at the proper time, but circumstances beyond your control keep you from sleeping? Yeah, that's what I put up with last night? What circumstances were these, pray tell? Well, I'll tell you – a pup who clearly slept all day – lazy beggar – and then wanted to play all night! Here's how it went:
10:15 pm
Teeth brushed, hair combed, face washed – check . Read 'Dark Days' by Derek Landy (#4 in the Skullduggery series) for 15 minutes. Charlie plays with/chews on favorite toy of the night.
10:30 pm
Lights go out, Charlie settles down on his pillow, Jeannie snuggles up on hers, we drift off to sleep.
11:15 pm
Thunk. Tippety-tippety-tippety. Tippety-tippety-tippety… … … Tippety-tippety-tippety-tap. Silence. Slurp, slurp, slurp… … … Tippety-tippety-tippety. Tippety-tippety-tippety. Silence. Ggggggrrrrrrrr. Ggggggrrrrrrrrgggrrrrrrrr. Woof.
"Charlie! Get back up here! Go to sleep!" Tippety-tippety-tippety… … … thump. Charlie settles down.
12:30 am
"Hey. Hey Mom. MOM!"
"Go to sleep."
"But MOM! I hear a mouse."
"I don't care. Go to sleep."
"But there's a mouse in here! I don't like him – he thinks he can just do anything he wants. I wanna bite him."
"Ignore the mouse. Go to sleep! And don't wake me up again."
Charlie turns in circles about a billion times till the pillow is mashed just the way he likes it. "Fine. But I'm gonna get that mouse."
"Whatever. Go to sleep."
1:45 am
Thunk. Tippety-tippety-tippety. Tippety-tippety-tippety… … … Tippety-tippety-tippety-tap. "ROWOOWWRIROORW ROWROWROWRWE GGGGRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR RAHRRWROWR!"
"But there's a bird outside!"
"It's just the #$%^& ^&*^* wind! Get back in bed!"
"Sounds like a bird to me!"
"I don't care if it's a t-rex! As long as it doesn't come in here, I don't need to know! Now go to sleep AND DON'T MAKE ME TELL YOU AGAIN!"
"Well, you don't have to yell." Charlie turns in circles about a billion more times till the pillow is mashed just the way he likes it.
2:35 am
"Hey. Hey Mom. MOM!"
"There had better be a horde murderers at the bedroom door, dog."
"What'dya think of that little white dog down the street. She's pretty cute, eh?"
"Not at 2:30 in the morning, no! Go to sleep!"
"Think she'd go out with me?"
"You're neutered. Go to sleep."
"Yeah, I don't know that means. Could you drive us to the movies tomorrow night?"
"So that's a maybe?"
"Arggh!" Jeannie stuffs head under pillow.
"Can I sleep by the window?"
4:23 am
Thunk. Tippety-tippety-tippety. Tippety-tippety-tippety… … … Tippety-tippety-tippety-tap. "ROWOOWWRIROORW ROWROWROWRWE GGGGRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR RAHRRWROWR!"
"What no-ow-owwwww?"
"Bug. You woke me up again for a bug."
"Well, it was on the screen. What'd you want me to do?"
"I give up."
"Does that mean I can play now?"
"Fine! I don't like you when you yell."
6:00 am
Beep beep beep beep… Beep beep beep beep… Beep beep beep beep… Beep beep beep beep…
"Aw man. It is NOT six o' clock yet. Damn it!"
"Actually it is, Mom. And would you turn that off? It's keeping me awake."
Yeah, tonight, right after I double my blood pressure meds, I'm going to put diazepam in his water! Little brat.

Las Vegas wrestlers in control
WINNEMUCCA — Las Vegas High has won nine consecutive Sunrise Region wrestling titles, but hasn't taken the state's top prize since 2002.
The Wildcats moved a step closer to their fourth state championship Friday, taking the first-day lead at the Class 4A state meet at the Winnemucca Events Center.
Las Vegas leads with 27 points and advanced seven wrestlers to the semifinals, along with a nonscoring heavyweight.
Cimarron-Memorial is second with 21 points, followed by Shadow Ridge (11), Green Valley (10) and Canyon Springs (9).
"It was a good day for us," Las Vegas coach Aric Thomas said. "We won most of the ones we expected to win and some we had to earn a little harder.
"We won one or two that we knew we would be in a scrap for. We've definitely got to be more polished Saturday."
The semifinals will begin at 10:45 a.m. today, with the finals scheduled for 3:45 p.m.
Las Vegas wrestlers in the semifinals are: Nathan Garcia (103 pounds), De'Armon Hall (112), Brett Sampson (119), Johnathan Hales (171), David Prieto (189), Trey McElhaney (215) and heavyweight Madison Hales. Heavyweight Austin Woo advanced as an independent.
Sunset Region champion Cimarron has five semifinalists, led by two-time state champion Britain Longmire (119). He is joined by Travis DeGroat (130), Colbey Garrison (135), Brogan Ashjian (145) and Aaron Garcia (189).
"We weren't particularly pleased with our first day, but we still have another," Cimarron coach Mike Garcia said. "Hopefully the kids will do better. Las Vegas looks like they had a pretty good day.
"We made a few mistakes and fell apart in a couple of matches and just need to bring it together."
Shadow Ridge's Jordan Kurth (160) and Michael Tootle (171) reached the semifinals, as did Green Valley's Mason Saldana (119) and Daniel Allen (140).
Mojave, the two-time defending state champion, is tied for 16th with six points.

DVD Release Date: February 8, 2005 (Warner Bros. Home Video)
Number of Discs: 4
Number of Episodes: 22
Running Time: 496 minutes
Total Run Time of Special Features: 5 min 28 seconds (gag reel)
Languages, Subtitles, Closed Captioning: Subtitles:
English, French and Spanish; Closed Captioned
Special Features: Gag Reel; Warner Bros. 50th
Anniversary Commemorative DVD Volume 5 (one episode
each of "Living Single" & "Whose Line is it Anyway?")
My Thoughts:
Before he became famous for the hit motion picture
"RAY" and "COLLATERAL", versatile actor Jamie Foxx
stars as Jamie King, a man wanting to break into show
business. He gets his first job singing at a hotel. On
the surface, it seems like a great job, but he not
only sings, he works the front desk, delivers room
service, sorts the mail and mops the floors. This four
disc DVD set includes all 22 episodes from the First
Season. Garcelle Beauvis co-stars as his sexy
coworker, Fancy while Christopher B. Duncan plays his
nemesis for Fancy, a hotel accountant named Braxton.
Rounding out the hilarious cast are Ellia English and
Garrett Morris who are Jamie's aunt and uncle, who run
the hotel. Once you check in to this comedy, you may
never want to check out!
The Season One episodes are all very funny and
memorable. Relive many great memories, such as when
Jamie wants to impress his ex, he asks Fancy to pose
as his girlfriend in "Burned Twice by the Same Flame,"
and when Braxton's uncouth parents arrive for a visit
and embarrass him in "...And Bubba Makes Three," and
when the ring Junior buys Helen for their anniversary
gets stuck on Fancy's finger with Jamie's help in
"Stuck on You" and when Jamie and Fancy accidentally
kiss in "Kiss and Tell," and when Jamie suspects a
hotel guest is a killer who plans to off the hotel
staff in "A Killer Ending," as well as when Jamie's
distraught pal finds himself out on a ledge on
Thanksgiving, and when Jamie and Braxton are taken
hostage in a bank heist in "Break Yourself, Fool,"
also, "Seems Like Old Times" in which Junior's old
army buddy (played by Amen's Clifton Davis) puts the
moves on Helen, and finally, when Jamie's singer of a
mother arrives for a visit in the season finale, "Save
the Drama for Your Mama."
Memorable cameos throughout the season included NBA
star Gary Payton, movie star Michael Clarke Duncan,
Bad Santa's Tony Cox, soap stars Shemar Moore and
Kristoff St. John, former "Amen" star Clifton Davis as
Junior's army buddy, comedian Phil Morris, "Fresh
Prince of Bel-Air" star Janet Hubert-Whitten,
Ice-Cube, and most notably, Gladys Knight would appear
as Jamie's mother in the show's first season finale.
The cover art is blue in color and features all a
promotion shot of Jamie Foxx. It's a simple design.
The case that holds the four discs is the same used in
the "Full House" Season 1 set, which seams to be the
way Warner wants to distribute their sets, and is a
flip fold case. Inside is a pamphlet of sorts that
lists all the episodes and a brief description and
which disc they are on. It's a nice feature. Disc 1
has a teal background and uses the same picture of
Jamie Foxx that's on the main cover. Disc 2 is brown
in color. Disc 3 is yellow in color while Disc 4 is
purple in color and all four are the same overall
design. And finally, Disc One contains episodes 1-6,
Disc Two contains episodes 7-12, Disc Three contains
episodes 13-18 and Disc Four contains episodes 19-22
plus the gag reel bonus feature.
The main menu screen is virtually the same design as
the set is. It has a photo of the cast and the theme
music (shortened) loops in the background. The first
selection is "Play All" followed by "Episodes" in
which you can go to another menu screen (with no
music) and choose the episode you want to watch. The
third selection is "Special Features" that lets you
choose the special features located on the discs (only
available on disc four). And finally, "Languages"
which let you choose "Spoken Languages" (only English
is an option) or Subtitles that range from English, to
French, to Spanish. Each episode is unedited and runs
for 22 to 23 minutes in length.
For a show that's almost ten years old (!) from the
premiere date, the video is, as expected, very good.
The audio, unlike on some older show sets, such as
Full House, was an improvement and was crisp and
clear. But there were no major issues to be concerned
with on this set. And on this set, closed captioning
as well as Subtitles in English, French and Spanish
are available. One bad thing is that there are no
chapters or scene selections! It is hard to get from
one point to another without that.
The special features on this set are few and far
between. In fact, only one bonus is included at all.
It's a gag reel that is located on the fourth disc. As
a fan of gag reels and bloopers, I am very pleased
this was included. It lasts exactly five minutes and
28 seconds long in length and seems to be mostly
centered towards first season bloopers, which makes me
believe that future season sets will hopefully follow
Included in this season set of THE JAMIE FOXX SHOW -
SEASON 1 are two specialty releases: one episode each
of "Living Single" and "Whose Line Is It Anyway?" The
case that this disc comes in is cardboard. It's listed
as "Volume Five" and as a "Commemorative DVD." The
disc slips out and the disc has the same cover as the
case itself. There is no promotion for either show on
the actual Jamie Foxx Box, or the case the disc comes
in. Only when you look at the disc is when you can see
that the first selection will be "Living Single" and
the second selection will be "Whose Line..." The menu
screen follows the same design as the cover. And
surprisingly enough, all it has is "Play Show 1" or
"Play Show 2," not even the show names, or their
episode names either! It was a bit surprising. I
expected a little bit more out of this, although I'm
not sure why. Also, what I found surprising is that
both episodes have chapter skips, but the Jamie Foxx
episodes do not have this option!
The "Living Single" episode has very good audio and
video. The episode seems to be (although I'm
uncertain) unedited and runs approx. 23 minutes. The
episode of "Living Single" included is "A Kiss Before
Lying," an early episode from the very first season
that has Max's ex-boyfriend Greg re-entering her life,
but with a new girlfriend! So Max enlists an all too
eager Kyle to pose as her beau. But Max eventually
gets her 'revenge' on Greg. The "Whose Line Is It
Anyway" (the US version) episode also has good audio
and video. This episode runs only approx. 21 minutes
in length and it's hard to know whether or not it is
unedited or edited, since it relatively a new show.
The episode they chose to use for this series was
"Show #103" from the first season (which was voted by
fans as their favorite episode), which features
regulars Wayne Brady, Colin Mochrie, Ryan Stiles and
Greg Proops as the improv performers.
Although I applaud Warner for including these two
shows in this set, I'm not entirely sure just what
Warner Bros. wants to accomplish. Is it to garner more
interest in the shows used as specialty discs, or is
it meant to test the waters for possible releases, or
is their hope that fans of 'Living Single' and 'Whose
Line Is It Anyway?' will purchase this set for just
one single episode of their favorite show? Only time
will tell.
In conclusion, I believe any fan of THE JAMIE FOXX
SHOW will enjoy this set very much. For the extremely
low price of less than thirty dollars, this is a
wonderful set to own. Even though I'm not a diehard
fan, I think this set is great, especially for those
fans of Jamie Foxx who are interested in seeing him in
action before hitting it big in the theatrical picture
"RAY" or "COLLATERAL." I also think that future
releases of this (and other shows) can try and
incorporate a gag reel as well as including the
pamphlet that lists the episodes, some episode stills,
and a brief one sentence description. I encourage
every fan to buy this set.

Proof That Vampires Exist
Vampire: One who lives by preying on others (Merriam-Webster Dictionary)
My story begins in the spring of 1984. My medical partner and I had just bought a small practice from a retiring physician in Kettering, Ohio. We had put just about all of our savings into buying the practice, and we even borrowed $60,000 to upgrade the furnishings and equipment. We were looking for ways to increase our income while our practice grew. An opportunity came up, and it led to the most frightening experience of my life.
Ken, my partner, called me one day and asked me if I could speak with a physician who was "doing some blood pressure research study." He needed more patients for the trial and was willing to pay for any who qualified. Since we had hundreds of BP patients, I immediately said "yes" and an appointment was made for the next Friday afternoon at 2 o'clock.
After seeing patients all Friday morning and getting some lunch, I returned to the office just before two. Peggy, our office nurse and only employee, was sitting at the reception desk doing paperwork. I went back to our consultation room and a few minutes later, Peggy knocked on my door and said, "He's here." I went out to greet him, shook his hand as he introduced himself, and we went back to the room for our interview.
His appearance was nothing out of the ordinary—grey suit, white dress shirt, tie, and a black briefcase. After a few minutes of polite chit chat, he began to explain the research protocol, which seemed standard. Ken and I would recruit patients who were not well controlled on BP medications, ask them for informed consent to try a new medication, follow them weekly (no charge BP checks) for 12 weeks for BP checks and side-effects, and then report the results. We would get paid $250 dollars for each patient completing the study, up to five patients for each doctor.
However, during his explanation, an intense anxiety and fear came over me which I cannot explain in words even now. It was as if I was speaking with someone who was not really human. His voice had a robotic quality which I have never heard from anyone else I have ever met (not even from the most psychotic patient or most boring preacher!) He expressed absolutely no emotions at all. After about a half hour, we had finished. I asked a few minor questions, told him I would discuss his proposal with Ken, and I saw him out of the office.
As I turned back towards the reception desk, Peggy asked, "Well Ron, how did it go?"
"It's hard to explain, but I felt I was in the presence of evil incarnate" (My exact words, which I remember to this day).
"Don't you know who he is?"
"Just some guy Ken asked me to talk with about some blood pressure research."
"That was Marty Haskell, the abortionist."
A cold chill ran down my head to my spine! "I guess that explains it then."
She then gave me a brief rundown about Dr. Martin Haskell, who at that time had three abortion clinics—one each in Kettering, Cincinnati, and Indianapolis. I found out later that he was one of the most prolific abortionists in our nation and that he later helped popularize the "Partial Birth Abortion" at a meeting of abortionists in 1992. His practices were investigated by a Congressional committee in 1996. He still "practices" in Kettering to this day, preying on the blood of the living.
I called Ken later that Friday afternoon and explained all the details of my interview. I told him that I wanted "nothing to do" with Haskell, and he agreed. I called Dr. Haskell on Monday, explaining that we had decided not to participate. He responded with a polite, "Thank you for your time."
Now I know some may doubt my story, either that it happened or that vampires really exist today. But the details of my story are accurate and completely true. Nothing, including time, place, or names have been changed. Haskell is still preying on his victims at his office on Stroop Road in Kettering, Ohio.
Vampires can still be found in most large city and even some smaller ones if one knows what to look for. Some have spotted them in hospitals, even Adventist ones. An Adventist "retired" vampire is even honored at La Sierra University.
One of the most important things I learned from my interview with a vampire is that they are very careful who they prey on. Only those who cannot defend themselves will be their victims.
And how do we protect ourselves from them? Well, the fictional vampires were destroyed by the light of the sun. Real vampires are destroyed by using the Light of the Son!" Only by His Word can they be defeated.
Fictional vampires hate the sun; real vampires hate the Son. Let us all start by keeping the light of His Truth shining in our churches, schools, hospitals, and of course, in our own lives!
Bio: Ron Stone is an adult convert to Adventism. He is a former high school teacher, retired Internist, Certified Fitness Trainer, and TESL certified English teacher. He lives in Rocklin, CA with his wife Holly Pham.

Currently running a campaign using the new rules and they have streamlined a lot. My favorite things about it so far are the new states that make things like Stun and Entangle make sense as well as the new Tests. Those along with more social edges have actually made non-combat PCs a totally viable approach even in combat!
Void_Worship I am very interested in this! I have always enjoyed playing SW but have been hesitant to GM it because it seemed a little clunky in some ways.
Kimi Ah. Yeah. There are still of course the conditional modifiers and combat options but now that everything has been pretty much brought under a system of 2's (-2, -4, +2, +4) it makes it a little easier to keep track of on the GM's side.
What in particular did you find clunky with the GM side of Savage Worlds?
Kimi Yes I also feel it was streamlined a lot. Tests and support rolls are much better. The new edges to really make non-combat characters who want to use things like tests are much better. and the setting rule "creative combat" while requiring an extra roll on a raise, is really fun to add some extra fun when getting a raise on a test. ( kinda like stunting in the AGE system)
I think they did a lot to take from more story driven games, while still retaining the crunchy bits of the system. It still feels like Savage Worlds, but filled in a lot of the holes in other parts of the system that it had.
I've picked it up and had a quick look through. As always the production values look great, haven't had the chance to go over all the mechanical changes. I like the look of quick encounters, feels like they are basically skill challenges from D&D 4e.
I ran Dragon VS Lich this past weekend using SWADE for the first time. It was a lot of fun. People are enjoying the new power, edge, and hindrance changes along with the simplified statuses.
@Kimi PEG just released an updated generic GM screen for SWADE and it's fantastic. Used it and made referencing simple and easy.
My only gripe is that a lot of powers have effects that change what the power does if there is a raise or extra power points spent, but the summary of the powers doesn't represent those bonus abilities very well. So as a GM creating pre-gens it's hard to truncate power language onto a sheet for a player in a way that's easy to understand and doesn't require having a rulebook nearby.
Other than that I'm loving the changes of the system.
OFTHEHILLPEOPLE Yeah it is the balance of making a power be more useful ( having more options and such) but making it concise enough to display on a line. I think they have decided on the former, and rely on the power cards they are creating. These days, I usually print out custom power cards for my players anyway, and then simply list the powers and the page number on the main character sheet.
Haven't read through the new rules yet.
Had only just gotten around to reading the Deluxe Explorer edition which I STILL HAVE NOT PLAYED!
Seriously, finding the time to get a game in is really tough.
bobcatt If you're game for an online game I'm sure I could run a demo.
OFTHEHILLPEOPLE That sounds great, but I managed to not participate in the MYZ: Alpha PbF on the Discord. Things got squirrelly2 at work and haven't really cleared up. I'll PM you.
I think I'll set up a demo day to run SWADE for people. I'll post a topic tonight and see who can get together.
OFTHEHILLPEOPLE Maybe we could plug this under the Jackercon: Nights! Get the ball rolling!
JoeGun Sure, I'll take a look at the details in the other thread and figure something out tonight.
I wouldn't mind playing if you would have me.
I would love to give SWADE a go if there is space and the time fits
Good to hear! I will put something together soon.
OFTHEHILLPEOPLE I would love to see some community games of SWADE and would be interested in helping if there's interest!
I'm keen to see the tweaks to Savage RIFTS; I bought the PDF pack with SWADE and didn't realise the differences would be significant (apparently some Mega Powers got folded into the changes).
My group has been using SW for the bulk of our games (East Texas University and Deadlands) so when SWADE dropped, most of the group jumped at the next evolution of the system.
For me, the best changes have been to Tests, which allow for characters who aren't necessarily combat-oriented to be far more useful when the cards are drawn.
The tweaks to the Powers have also added some nice quality of life bonuses which my group will likely be putting to great effect with our upcoming Achtung Cthulhu adventure!
Did they come out with a deadlands reloaded conversion with SWADE?
Ignatious From what I understand, there will be new SWADE releases for the Companion books, as well as Deadlands and other settings sometime in the next future.
Ignatious that will be a Kickstarter later this year from what has been said. After the companions.
Cantra oops you already answered lol. That's what I get for going through notifications in order
