I've been in LA for six years and some pixie dust has inevitably landed on my shoulders; a few wrap parties, a screening of a short or a documentary, a celebrity sighting on the Main Street in Santa Monica… It is not unusual, as we all know some people who work in the industry. Yesterday was the first time I was in the big studio lot, though, experiencing the glamorous side of my new home from the inside.
I was at Warner Brothers studios in Burbank for the screening of "The Judge", the day before the movie was to be released in theaters. A visitor's pass in hand, I walked through the lot along the familiar-looking New York City brownstones, banks, and post offices, windowless vehicles filled with tourists rumbling away down the cobblestone streets.
Once inside the theater, all noises stopped, the Technicolor blue of the southern California sky immediately forgotten. As the lights dimmed and the familiar logo appeared on the screen in front of me, I felt a surge of excitement that used to engulf me when I was a child back in Serbia and still believed in the magic of Hollywood.
I wasn't sure what to expect, but I liked the casting of Robert Duvall and Robert Downey Junior as the estranged father and son. By the end, I did not know if I should laugh or cry. David Dobkin's movie is an emotional family drama filled with scenes reminiscent of "Kramer vs. Kramer", "Terms of Endearment", and "Rain Man", interspersed with Downey's fast and venomous repratees and belly-aching jokes.
Robert Duvall was perfect as an intimidating pater familias, a strict and fair small-town judge who slowly falls apart after his wife's sudden death. His son Hank is a sleek, unscrupulous big-city attorney who defends rich white-colar criminals without remorse, but at home, his marriage is in shambles. He returns home after many years of voluntary exile to attend his mother's funeral, but without her acting like glue for this dysfunctional family, and the judge suddenly finding himself accused of murder, the ugly floats to the surface and the family unravels.
There are a few predictable scenes and clichés (like in-your-face-obvious parallel between the tornado brewing while the family drama explodes), and some subplots that do not contribute to the story (like the ex-girlfriend and the her daughter, who could be Hank's), as well as flashbacks intended to patch the holes and "tell" us what transpired, but I was willing to close my eyes to the imperfections and go with the gut feeling. And my gut was clenched.
This story was my story and the story of many of us who have to make peace with out parents. Hollywood likes happy endings and in the movie Hank manages to find his closure and understand the reasons for all the hurt. We all crave that, but in reality it does not happen that often. And even though I knew that in the end Hank and his dad would reconcile, I was rooting for him, sending him telepathic messages to just shut it, warning him that once they are gone, they are gone forever.
After the movie ended, the producer (and Robert Downey's wife) Susan Downey joined us for a chat. It was illuminating to find out how a project like this starts, develops, matures, and ends up on the screen for everyone to see. For the audience, it's approximately one hundred minutes of an uninterrupted story, but in reality it's a process that lasts several years, that comes together in pieces, each one thoughtfully put together.
Go see the movie. It will make you run to hug you mom or dad really tightly. And if you are at odds with your parents, it will make you determined to seek the answers, to be more patient and tolerant, and to let go of the past that is hurting everyone. Now, give me a handkerchief so that I can cry in peace.

LIVE: Speaking at the CNBC debate on monetary policy, U.K. Chancellor George Osborne insists:"Monetary policy works... The exceptionally supportive monetary policy of the U.S., U.K. and Japan and elsewhere has worked."(Carney) is clear there is not a need for an immediate rise in interest rates... we're only having this discussion because there's a recovery underway; because unemployment is falling."
LIVE: BoJ Governor Haruhiko Kuroda says:"The sales tax hike does not create any additional problem to the Japanese economy."When we decided the new monetary framework we did take into account the temporary negative impacts.""Japanese economy is back on track... The economy will continue to grow around 1.5 percent, which is well above the Japanese economy medium-term growth of 1 percent."
LIVE: Harvard economist Larry Summers says:"If anyone had described how serious the economic problems were going to be, people would have expected much more of an outbreak of protectionism than there has been."Recovery has not been all that most of us had hoped it would be... The U.S. economy has gained essentially nothing on previous estimates of its potential."

LIVE: U.K. Chancellor George Osborne says:"When it comes to public investment and projects, there is no free lunch. You have to make tough decision elsewhere in your budget in order to deal with that (investment) deficit."Ultimately businesses will invest when they have the confidence to do so... One of the things we've got to do is convince companies that we have frameworks... and then the investment will flow."You can't force a company in a free market to make an investment, but you can do everything you can to make the conditions so that investment makes business sense."
LIVE: U.K. Chancellor George Osborne comments on today's forward guidance headlines (read more here):"Calling forward guidance a 'wobble' is unfair."They set a threshold for unemployment and unemployment is falling very quickly, and people are talking about what comes next...

LIVE: BoJ Governor Haruhiko Kuroda insists:"Abenomics has been successful... "The Japanese fiscal policy consists of two parts: in the first part, the government provides stimulus.

So although some economists argue there is a danger of the zone going into deflation, I don't think it's likely."I don't think the Chinese economy has any big risks in the short term, because the government, policy makers understand the need to reform - but at the same time they understand the need to marination relatively high growth."

By delivering a very mild monetary tightening, the Bank can present this as allowing interest rates to be kept unchanged for longer. It also helps begin to manage down the duration risk of its gilt portfolio."But George Osborne (pictured below at CNBC's monetary policy debate in Davos) doesn't seem too concerned, insisting "I completely reject that forward guidance is a failure."

"Served rare, any meat lover can slice and dice and then grill to their required taste. Just be careful not to touch your piping hot stone!"

What if the good guys were the bad guys all along? Betrayal is an irresistible plot twist for any action narrative, and Marvel hasn't even tried to resist it. In Captain America: Winter Soldier (2014) the top-secret good guy U.S. spy network S.H.I.E.L.D. is revealed to be under the control of quasi-Nazi bad guy spy network Hydra. The fascists have taken over America, just like the lefties always warned they would. And now in the comics Marvel has pushed it further: The already infamous Captain America: Steve Rogers #1 by writer Nick Spencer and artist Jesus Salz features Captain America himself going over to the dark side. In a series of flashbacks, we learn that Cap, or Steve Rogers, has been a Hydra agent since his childhood. The last image is of our hero declaring "Hail Hydra."
Because people are terrible and also the internet, this retcon pulp action plot twist has prompted some morally challenged dopes to send Nick Spencer death threats. There have been some more thoughtful criticisms, too. Captain America was originally created by Joe Simon and Jack Kirby—two Jewish men who showed precisely what they thought of fascist anti-Semitism by having their hero punching Hitler on their first cover. Turning a character who represented Jewish solidarity into a sort-of Nazi is, many have argued, gross. Blogger Jessica Plummer accuses Marvel of participating in an "erasure of [Captain America's] coded Jewish history." In the name of a nifty plot twist and some free press, the company effectively spit on Jack Kirby's grave.
Like Plummer, I'm Jewish. But unlike her, I don't really see Hydra Cap as a desecration. Yes, Simon and Kirby were Jews making a bombastic anti-fascist statement. But the fact remains: Steve Rogers isn't Jewish. America in 1941 was quite anti-Semitic in its own right, which is part of why Jacob Kurtberg became Jack Kirby. A superhero couldn't be a Jew, so Cap, deliberately and even emphatically, did not have a marginal ethnic identity.
You can see this still in the film origin retelling of Captain America: The First Avenger (2011). Steve Rogers initially is weak and skinny: robust actor Chris Evans CGI'd into an emasculated wimpy Jewish stereotype. Then Rogers is given the super-soldier formula, and—ta-da! Suddenly he's transformed into this perfect blonde-haired specimen of Aryan manhood.
Cap's creators may have been Jewish, but the society they lived in demanded that their hero be assimilated and white. To fight Hitler, they had to bow to anti-Semitism and make their creation acceptable to people who shared some of Hitler's prejudices. Hydra had a part in making Cap to begin with.
This argument is made even more pointedly in probably the best Cap story of this century: the mostly forgotten mini-series Truth: Red, White & Black by Robert Morales and Kyle Baker. The narrative is set during World War II. After the death of the scientist who gave Steve Rogers his powers, the U.S. government attempts to reproduce the super-soldier formula. As test subjects, it forces black soldiers to participate virtually at gunpoint—because those black soldiers are seen as disposable. As in the racist and entirely too real Tuskegee syphilis experiments, the results are horrific. Most of the supersoldier test subjects die horribly. Almost all the rest are hideously deformed.
Following a disastrous and bloody engagement with Nazi troops, only one soldier, Isaiah Bradley, survives. He's sent on a secret suicide mission into Nazi territory to disrupt Hitler's own supersoldier experiments. The enemy is performing tests on Jews for the same racist reasons that the U.S. performed tests on black people.
Americans and Germans, Truth suggests, aren't as different as we'd like to believe. In fact, they sometimes work together. In this version of the origin, eugenic scientists from both countries worked together to create the supersoldier formula before the war. The Captain America project, in Truth, was originally an effort to achieve racial perfection. "We sterilized the mentally handicapped well before the Germans—they modeled their program after ours," one American general muses: a history lesson that quite accurately portrays the United States' leading role in race science. Simon and Kirby's physically perfect, blonde, clean, honorable Cap embodied an American eugenic dream that ended up turning into the Nazi eugenic dream.
Morales and Baker's presentation of anti-black racism in Truth is so unflinching, and so bitter, that it's hard to believe a mainstream comics company printed it. Isaiah, going to what he believes will be a fatal mission, surreptitiously takes a spare Captain America costume and goes into German territory to destroy the supersoldier program. He is successful and even escapes the Nazis—but not the Americans.
When he gets back to his own lines, he is arrested for stealing the uniform and thrown into jail for life. He serves 17 years in solitary confinement—a painful nod to the millions of black men held in America's own prison camps. Because the supersoldier project is top secret, the government will not provide Isaiah with healthcare for its aftereffects, and his brain deteriorates. He is finally pardoned, but by then he has been mentally reduced to the state of a child. This, the comic suggests, is how America treats its black heroes. Hydra, or for that matter Hitler, would approve.
Truth was originally meant to be out of continuity: Isaiah Bradley was to be, in this alternate universe, the first, and the only, Captain America. But then Marvel decided to make it official canon, which means Steve Rogers shows up at the end to chastise various bad guys and assure the audience that good white people exist. Presumably the new Hydra Cap storyline will also take a more conventional turn. Cap will turn out to be a double agent, or he'll have an epiphany and realize that Hydraism is bad, or the whole thing will be retconned away, poof. In the new storyline, Spencer presents the Red Skull as a Trump-like figure, but the exploration of American racism comes across as mostly pro forma. Fascism is a scam which misleads the poor and needy, including the young Steve Rogers. Eventually, everyone's eyes will be opened, and evil will be defeated as easily as Cap thumped Hitler on the jaw in that first Jack Kirby drawing.
Having the good guys turn out to be bad guys is fun as a plot device. But, as Truth shows, the actual implications aren't fun at all. When Captain America beats up Hitler, it's a blow against white supremacy. But given the twisted origin and development of the protagonist, it can also be seen as a blow for white supremacy, Jim Crow, segregation, racism and the eugenic fantasies that helped inspire Hitler to begin with. Hate's a big part of what made Captain America into Captain America, with his blonde hair and perfect muscles. "Hail Hydra" is as American as apple pie, or superheroes.

Weekend entertainment benefit aims to benefit Tuscaloosa and Birmingham
A native of Mobile, AL, Jennifer Polvere grieved along with the nation after tornados devastated her home state. The owner of Skinnyz Bar and Grille in Stallings, Polvere felt compelled to take action to help fellow Alabamians living in the state's most devastated areas around Birmingham and Tuscaloosa. "I'm just a Bama girl," Polvere said, "I'll do whatever I can to help out whether it's small, medium or big."
Still a member of the First Christian Church in Mobile, Polvere reached out to a pastor in Birmingham to help generate a list of supplies desperately in demand. With the goal of driving an 18-wheeler filled with supplies, Polvere along with two friends and Skinnyz customers have organized a three-day benefit weekend sure to entertain while also benefiting tornado victims in Birmingham and Tuscaloosa. Kicking off Friday, June 3 at noon, the Skinny's "Stockin' and Rockin for Alabama's Rolltide Country" is chalk-full of entertainment, raffles and fun.
Weekend of Stockin' and Rockin'
There are some big names ready to make an appearance during the weekend, Polvere promises. Famed boxer Roberto Duran will be flying on Friday to sign autographs, courtesy of John Laub, owner of event-co-host Atlantic Construction Solutions. "I'm going to get him to sign some boxing gloves," Polvere gushed. Also on tap to perform is Nadirah Shakoor of Jimmy Buffet's Coral Reefer Band. "Nadirah is always willing to help, and has agreed to donate her time to perform for us on Saturday night."
Several other acts are donating their time, including The Subject2Change Band, Josey Wails Band, Jason Everett, Old #7, Kevin Loop, L.A. Smith and Wayne Butler. "Many of these folks are starving musicians," Polvere said, "yet they are coming out to help and play."
The benefit continues from 1 p.m. until closing on Saturday, June 4, with a family friendly beach party featuring hula-hoop and limbo contests. And although Skinnyz is usually closed on Sundays, they are having three shows on Sunday, June 5 from 1-6 p.m. There will even be a free cookout for those who arrive with a bag of items ready to donate. Several businesses have also donated their wares to ensure there are lots of great raffle giveaways throughout the weekend.
A War Zone
Bright and early on Thursday, June 9, Polvere will join members of Atlantic and Daybreaker Express & Warehouse and head south to Alabama. Their first stop will be the First Christian Church in Birmingham's drop and distribution center. They plan to unload half of the truck's contents and hold a BBQ to help provide volunteers as well as tornado victims with some much-needed sustenance.
The group then will head onto Tuscaloosa, described as a "War Zone" to Polvere by Birminham's First Christian Minister, and do the same thing. Polvere plans to pitch a tent to sleep, and is not sure when she will return. "I'll base my return on what is going on," she said. "It's going to be very hard to leave when so many are suffering."
Filling Up the Truck
Immediate need items that Polvere and her crew hope to bring include cleaning supplies, Gatorade, underwear, diapers, wipes, toothbrushes and other toiletries.

Manchester United: Why Red Devils Should Keep Faith in David MoyesSeptember 29, 2013
They said, in the aftermath of Manchester United's capitulation against City last weekend, that things could only get better for manager David Moyes.
But, as the full-time whistle blew on United's defeat to West Brom on Saturday, those claims were made a mockery of.
This is United's worst start to a Premier League season since 1989, when this particular journalist was born, with seven points from an available 18 leaving the defending champions 12th in the table.
To put that in some kind of perspective, newly promoted Cardiff and Hull sit above the Red Devils in the league standings, as do the likes of Aston Villa, Southampton and Everton.
Seeing the latter outfit sit above his side with a game in hand to boot won't sit well with Red's manager David Moyes, who left the Toffees to take over the Old Trafford hotseat back in July.
Since then, things have not gone according to plan, with two wins picked up from seven preseason friendlies and now this, the worst start to a league campaign since the early years of Sir Alex Ferguson.
1989 was the year the infamous banner, painted on a bed sheet, was unveiled at Old Trafford, reading: "Three Years of Excuses and It's Still Crap. Ta Ra Fergie."
And, moments after Saido Berahino's long-ranged effort nestled in the bottom of David de Gea's goal on Saturday afternoon, the visiting Albion fans taunted Moyes with chants of "you're getting sacked in the morning!"
Indeed, West Brom's shock win over United, coupled with their current plights, is eerily reminiscent of those early, turbulent years of Ferguson's reign.
Eyebrows have been raised not only over United's title credentials this season but also over Moyes's very future at the club.
Though chants from those in the away end at the Theatre of Dreams on Saturday proved wide of the mark, you do have to worry for Moyes, particularly in this hostile footballing climate that has already seen one Premier League manager lose his job this season.
But let's not go getting carried away with ourselves. After all, this season is proving to be one of the more unpredictable ones so far.
Despite hammering United this time last week, City yesterday slumped to a 3-2 defeat to Aston Villa, their second loss of the campaign, while Spurs, Liverpool and Arsenal have all dropped points.
Then there's the fact that Ferguson made those brandishing that crude bed sheet 24 years ago feel ever so slightly foolish by going on to become one of this country's most successful managers.
No, this is not the time to be preparing Moyes's P45. This is a time to throw the spotlight on those currently underperforming in a United shirt.
Nani, though he has been handed a new contract, has never lived up to his potential, and you can almost hear Nemanja Vidic and Rio Ferdinand's knees creaking.
Then there's Ashley Young, who was so diabolical against City last weekend that it beggars belief as to how he is playing for the English champions.
Meanwhile, Brazilian Anderson continues to belie his nationality, while Valencia couldn't even get off the bench yesterday, off the back of more than a couple of indifferent performances.
The truth is, Moyes has been badly let down by a side who are perhaps still struggling to adapt to life without Ferguson.
Critics need to accept that, like the latter's preliminary years, there's certainly going to be a transitional period under Moyes and that success, as it did with Ferguson, will eventually follow.
The January transfer window is an opportunity for Moyes to breath new life into this side and make up for his summer inadequacies, and only after that should he be judged.

An Official Website of the Commonwealth of Kentucky
Health and Family Services Cabinet
State Adult Protective Services Workers Honored for Elder Abuse Prevention Efforts
FRANKFORT, Ky. (Jan. 5, 2011) – The Northern Kentucky Elder Maltreatment Alliance (EMA) has honored adult protective services staff for their dedication to helping area senior citizens achieve wellbeing.
Adult protective services (APS) staff from the Cabinet for Health and Family Services Department for Community Based Services (DCBS) work in every county to ensure the safety and stability of Kentucky's vulnerable adults. At a recent reception, EMA honored the adult protective service teams for the Northern Kentucky region.
"We're honored to achieve this recognition from one of our partners in ending elder abuse," said Julie Wheeler, APS supervisor for nine counties in DCBS' 12-county Northern Bluegrass region. "Our work is ongoing, but to have this commendation is a real inspiration to our efforts.
"Too often, seniors are the forgotten victims of abuse as they are very hesitant at times to disclose that those closest to them are harming them," she said
Tim Rees is the APS supervisor for the region's other three counties.
"Our staff is extremely collaborative," Rees said. "We emphasize working closely with other state agencies, local advocacy groups and families. Working together is the only way we will continue making a difference in Northern Kentucky."
Rees said many of Northern Kentucky's APS staff members are veteran employees who work hard to engage law enforcement, courts and prosecutors in the effort to protect seniors and to hold those who perpetrate against them accountable for their actions.
"We take this task very seriously and work hard to make sure that justice is done and the adult stays safe," he said.
EMA is a Local Coordinating Council on Elder Abuse (LCCEA) composed of activists from the eight-county Northern Kentucky Area Development District. It was founded to provide support, education and awareness concerning the mistreatment of the elder population.
EMA also honored Healthcare Friends, a networking agency for health care professionals, for its work.
Wheeler said the designated APS teams work diligently toward the protection of the elder population in Northern Kentucky. In the past year, the Northern Bluegrass region received 1,360 reports of abuse, and 400 were found to be abusive situations.
Talking about elder abuse is the first step to prevention and reporting, Wheeler said.
"Awareness is the key," she said. "The more light we shed on this subject, the more help we can provide."
Reporting suspected abuse is the law. The toll-free reporting hotline is (800) 597-2331.
"Elder abuse is frequently an unspoken crime," Rees said. "Most victims are often abused behind closed doors by their own family members, with no witnesses. And, too often, people who do see it choose not to get involved because they think 'it's none of my business.'
"Picking up the phone to make a confidential report could save a life," he said.
DCBS Deputy Commissioner Teresa James said she's proud of the Northern Kentucky staff.
"The dedication of the APS staff is what earned this award," James said. "Elder abuse affects us all, and Northern Kentucky APS staff knows that to ensure that our senior citizens are healthy and safe, we must give them the dignity, respect and protection they deserve."
The state's LCCEAs came under joint leadership of the Area Agencies on Aging and Independent Living and DCBS in 2002. Members include law enforcement officers, business leaders, health care providers and advocates. Councils also monitor and evaluate the quality and effectiveness of services and protection in their communities and coordinate the services of groups that work with elder victims of abuse, neglect or exploitation.

I just selected several objects and attempted to move them. Instead I hit the center, rotate point and all elements rotated on their own center. Undo did NOT fix the problem. I immediately went back to the project page, without saving, but an auto-save had already occurred. The program should be able to undo this mistake. Am I missing something?
I was able to recover by resetting each object to "0 degree" rotation. A real bother.
Hi Ray, there is no feature to undo multiple objects as yet.
You can reset the rotation manually by either rotating back or entering image properties and changing the rotation there.

Background: Font color:
Part One: The Legend
Harry is about to take over as Head of the Auror Office while Ron finds himself increasingly unwanted and sidelined. Looking for an excuse to distance himself from the Ministry, Ron accepts a call for help from outside the Wizarding world. (Part One of The Traveller Trilogy)
This is the first part of The Traveller, a series of three self-contained but linked stories. The first two parts are more or less concurrent with each other.
Legend: A claimed background or biography, usually supported by documents and memorised details.
Ron here is not the fish out of water that his father would be in Muggle London. He's an experienced, if unappreciated, Auror who has successfully worked undercover amongst members of Muggle law enforcement. He's older and wiser, for the most part and isn't afraid to ask for help when he needs it.
Harry and Ron formed a very successful partnership before Harry's promotion, which is possibly why Ron feels so aggrieved at his current situation. His resentment is not directed at Harry, however, who clearly wanted to promote Ron as his deputy.
I wanted to split the story narrative between Ron and Harry. We start with Ron, and Harry's adventure will follow in Part Two.
At first, I did this so the reader knows just a little more about the plot than Harry and what he might be walking into. However, Ron's resentment at being sidelined whilst remaining steadfastly loyal to Harry seems much better coming from Ron himself.
Part One is complete and approximately 19000 words long over 10 Chapters. Part Two (The Raven's Call) is also complete and about 42000 words long. The concluding part is currently in progress.
Part One: Prologue
Proudfoot shivered violently as he stood beneath the bus-shelter. He was still breathing heavily from the exertion of running from the road junction a few yards away.
Although he was glad to get out of the rain for a moment, that hadn't been his main motivation. This bus shelter had a tourist map of the local area.
He checked the street map mounted on the bus-stop shelter hoping to get his bearings. He wasn't at all used to being in Muggle London at night and the heavy rain and noisy traffic weren't helping.
Even the insides of his pockets were wet, something which would not have occurred had they not insisted that only genuine unaltered Muggle clothing was to be worn.
The streets were generally well lit and the few late opening shops had bright signs and window displays. Even so he had managed to step into several deep puddles that lay in the odd shadows.
Most of the shops had had passed were closed, however, and there were many dark doorways and recesses where an observer could watch from. It was probably his constant checking and looking around that had caused him to lose his bearings again.
He urgently scanned the map, quickly reading all the street names. Nothing at all looked familiar.
Perhaps in his hurry he had got the location wrong? It wouldn't be the first time.
He glanced anxiously at his watch. He still had time. Just.
He could hear a red Routemaster bus approaching the bus stop at speed and the light from its headlights reflected from the wide shop window behind him. The headlights created a hunched Proudfoot shaped shadow that grew as the bus approached.
Proudfoot was about to give up and ask whoever got off the bus for directions when he looked at the map and watched as a reflected shaft of light moved across it.
There it was!
He was only a couple of streets away.
Proudfoot hurried behind the bus and crossed the road at a run, jumping over the water filled gutter onto the pavement. He then slowed down to a fast walk so as not to draw too much attention to himself and took the first side turning.
If it was quiet enough he intended to Apparate at least part of the way, but every time he thought he might get away with it he saw someone. This part of London was just too busy even late at night.
Proudfoot was wet through by now and was desperate to dry himself off.
No time!
He turned right and then left.
Proudfoot looked around for a street sign. According to the bus map he ought to be there by now, but it occurred to him that the map might not have shown every road. His last turning had been into a wide passageway used by pedestrians and bicycles, after all.
Panting a little now, he hurried along past a high wrought iron fence and turned a corner into a kind of square with the buildings set back. In the middle was an area of park that definitely hadn't been on the bus stop map.
Proudfoot groaned to himself and looked at his watch, knowing he was probably too late now.
It had all been a ridiculous mess from start to finish.
Everyone had been waiting on the wrong side of London when the message had come through that the location had been miscalculated. A small deviation wouldn't have mattered, since the intended test area had been fairly remote.
Proudfoot wondered what the problem had been this time. There had been so many assurances that the control charms had finally been perfected.
Yes, many assurances and very little evidence of any improvement.
There had been so many tests and more than a few failures over the last few months.
Proudfoot was now looking at his watch and actually hoping that the deadline would pass. That would mean that one of his colleagues would have to clean things up instead of himself.
One of the buildings across the way looked vaguely familiar and he realised it was the back of the old commune building. He had only visited the place a couple of times, and then he must have entered using an entrance on the other side.
He felt himself being drawn towards the place.
Proudfoot walked slowly through an open gate and across an empty tarmacadam car park. There were many deep puddles here but he was so wet it hardly mattered now.
He smiled to himself seeing the large blue painted security doors. They had been open and he had looked out through to the rear from inside. They had just been looking at a pair of sculptures and she was debating their merits with a couple of the resident artists.
It was a bittersweet memory. She had been feeling ill for weeks but on that day his beloved Veronica had been so radiant and full of life. It would be some weeks later when the Healers finally diagnosed her illness.
He sighed deeply and decided to go back to the place he once called home.
Proudfoot didn't need to wonder what his late wife would have thought about his present predicament and it hurt him to think what a disappointment he would have been to her.
He told himself that he was past caring, but that wasn't really true.
Veronica would never have allowed him to become so weak. She would have marched him into the Ministry and demanded action.
But Veronica wasn't here and his blackmailer knew he wouldn't dare go the Ministry. Not now that he was so involved.
Proudfoot turned sadly and began to retrace his steps. It was darker on the other side of the square and he ought to be able to Disapparate from there.
It happened suddenly with no warning.
Oddly, Proudfoot understood what was happening at once, although he had never actually experienced time slowing before.
Of course, time wasn't really slowing. It was simply that his reaction times were becoming accelerated so that it appeared from his perspective that time was slowing down. He, or rather his thoughts, were becoming faster.
He could see individual rain drops falling unnaturally slowly and the light from the security flood lights on the opposite building dimmed.
Proudfoot knew he only had moments to react. The protection charm had been activated because his life was in immediate danger, even if he didn't consciously know it at the time. He would have maybe three seconds to act and must have already used up half a precious second.
He turned as quickly as he could, feeling resistance of the air pushing against his arms and torso. It was like moving through treacle.
He threw himself around and withdrew his wand in one practised motion. It seemed to take him an age, but in fact the falling raindrops only moved a few inches at most. He ought to have time to either return fire or Disapparate away.
As he moved agonisingly slowly, it occurred to him how quickly and freely he was thinking and recalling. He had barely paid any attention to the warlock that had sold him the quickening defence charm and taught him how to use it. That had been years ago, yet the memory was vivid and complete. He knew for a fact that he'd need almost a full two second's worth of real time to Disapparate and his range of defences would be limited in his present quickened state. He wouldn't be able to conjure a shield with any meaningful degree of strength.
Proudfoot strained to turn his head as his torso twisted until at last he could see behind himself and readied himself to fire at his attackers.
In all likelihood, a hex had already been fired at his back.
To his dismay, no one at all was behind him. There were no hexes about to hit him.
So, were was the danger? Something must have activated the quickening charm.
Proudfoot felt himself falling towards the ground but made no effort to stop his momentum, knowing his precious advantage was ebbing away.
The light seemed to grow even dimmer and he looked up as he fell back.
Proudfoot knew as soon as he saw the descending mass that he had no time left to Disapparate away. As quick as he was just now, his fate was sealed.
It seemed he had come to the correct location after all, but he would never have been able to tidy this away anyway. They had been insane to attempt anything so big anywhere near a populated area.
He vaguely wondered how many tonnes were above the strangely smooth underside of the rock that about to kill him.
In real time it would be mercifully quick. Perhaps a quarter of a second at most.
But in his current accelerated state he had perhaps a few more seconds.
Proudfoot called his most vivid memories of Veronica into his mind. Her smile. Her Touch. Her kiss.
When the rock ceiling was only a couple of inches above his head, he released the quickening charm.
He didn't hear the dull thud of the object apparently cut from a single piece of rock and weighing many tonnes as it hit the tarmacadam surface, setting off car alarms all around the square.
Next time:-
Chapter One
"He left everything shared between his favourite Barman, his Nurse and his cat."
Ron arrives early for a meeting using a fake ID he shouldn't have and worrying that Kingsley will appear at any moment to drag him back to the Ministry.

The Ashdown Forest hosts a family festival over the Bank Holiday weekend.
Elderflower Fields Festival has been designed for families with young children in mind, allowing parents to relax in the knowledge they are not only looked after but learning new skills from firemaking to Parkour; from archery to learning a new musical instrument.
Elderflower Fields is at Pippingford Park, Nutley. With urban woods, sports camps, creative arts workshops, environmental activities and new teen focused events on site, organisers aim to keep everyone's boredom at bay for an entire weekend.
There are partnerships with The Arts Award, John Muir Trust and Sport England's SpoGo initiatives ensuring that activities are well organised but there's also plenty of grown-up stuff with more than 40 bands on two stages, woodland spa, cocktail bar and family picnic with Sussex produce.
Nigel Greenwood, co-founder of So Sussex, the company behind the Festival, said: "We have kept ticket prices as low as possible and all the sports, arts and environmental activities are included in the price so there are no hidden costs. We are proud of how quickly this festival has grown and touched to see the enthusiasm of local producers in providing the food, drink and entertainment. We believe in supporting the local economy and protecting and promoting the beautiful Sussex countryside so as much of the infrastructure, food and drink as possible is sourced in the county."
Camping is included in the ticket price and there will be spacious, designated campsites close to the action, plus 'glamping' options too in tents on site for families who want a bit more luxury. You'd need to enquire about prices.
Tickets for the Festival itself (fully inclusive) cost £105 (adult weekend,) £50 (child weekend (plus booking fees) and under fives go free.
Elderflower Fields Festival has been running for three years but this is its first time in the Ashdown Forest (previous festivals were at Bentley near Halland.) Visit: www.elderflowerfields.co.uk or see: www.facebook.com/elderflowerfields

This paper explores similarities and differences in the value stances of clinicians and hospital managers in Australia, England, New Zealand and China, and provides some new insights into how we theorise about the health profession and its relations with management. The paper draws on data derived from a closed-ended questionnaire administered to 2637 hospital-based medical, nursing and managerial staff. We examine variations between the countries in the value orientations of doctors, nurses and managers by considering their assessments of issues that are the focus of reform. In particular, we examine the ways in which the Chinese findings differ from those of the other countries. Whereas the results from the Commonwealth hospitals showed a marked division between clinicians and managers about issues that can affect clinical autonomy, this was not the case in the Chinese hospitals. The concluding discussion traces these differences to a number of cultural, organisational and policy-based factors. The implications of our findings on how we conceive the relationship between professionals and organisations are then discussed, as are further lines of research.

Exiled Tibetans continue protests in India against ChinaMarch 19th, 2008 - 12:51 pm ICT by admin
Dharamsala/New Delhi/ Siliguri/Kolkata, Mar 19 (ANI): Hundreds of exiled Tibetans continue to protest against China's occupation of their homeland.
Violent protests shook Dharamsala, also known as 'Mini Lhasa', because of the heavy presence of exiled Tibetans residing there, as hordes of protesters holding banners and shouting slogans, marched through its streets. Bare-chested protesters with anti-Chinese slogans written in blood on their torsos had their arms and legs chained as they walked down the streets of Dharamsala.
"China is always killing Tibetans in Tibet. We cannot face them so the frustration of the people against China is coming out," said Kusang, a protester.
Meanwhile, some Tibetan protesters tried to storm the Chinese Embassy in New Delhi but were stopped by the police. The police then led them away. Union Minister of State for Home, Sriprakash Jaiswal, hoped Beijing would show restraint and resolve the issue amicably.
"If something happens in our neighbouring countries, any sort of repression, then it is a cause of concern for us. We want that China should have a peaceful talk with them and come up with a solution so that the image of China in the international arena is not affected," said Jaiswal.
Similar protests rocked Siliguri. Protesters marched down streets, holding banners and placards to support the ongoing protest in Tibet.
"(They have) brutally killed our Tibetans. We want our land back. We want it back from the Red Chinese," said Prema, a protestor.
The Communists, however, adopted a soft line on the Tibetan protests, saying that the issue should not cast a shadow on the friendly Sino-Indian relations. "China is asking India to keep a check on the border so that Tibetans do not cross border and enter into China. However, it's a matter of sorrow that several people died over this issue. But, this would not reflect on our friendly relationship that we share with China. We have accepted Tibet as a part of China long time back," said Jyoti Basu, a veteran leader of the Communist Party of India (Marxist). (ANI)

Liverpool may be entering a period of upheaval after it emerged co-owner Tom Hicks is looking for a way out of the club.
City sources have confirmed that Hicks, who has been at the forefront of a dispute with manager Rafa Benitez over signings, is preparing to sell his shares.
Hicks took control at Anfield, alongside fellow American George Gillett, following a £219 million takeover.
Both men initially rang the praises of Benitez, calling the manager a genius, with many supporters predicting Liverpool would lift the Premier League title this season after a £40m summer spending spree.
However, results have been inconsistent, sparking criticism of Benitez's rotation policy and prompting the Spaniard to demand more funds in January.
Hicks and Gillett have so far been reluctant to release more money for players, prompting a very public breakdown in relations.
Now it seems developments have reached a head with Hicks hoping to cash in on his investment, as reported in the Mirror.
The businessman has reportedly put a £1 billion guide valuation on the club, and while City analysts have dismissed this as ridiculous, it was revealed last night that Dubai International Capital, the investment group headed by Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid, are ready to make a new bid having previously attempted a takeover.

The USA renews the LRA excuse in East and Central Africa
An AP newswire posted to outlets all over the world last week said that the Democratic Republic of the Congo has sent 500 troops to join a Uganda-led military effort to hunt down Joseph Kony, the fugitive head of the Lord's Resistance Army, or LRA, bringing the number of African soldiers deployed against the LRA up to 3,350, assisted by U.S. Special Forces. KPFA spoke to Milton Allimadi, one of the many Africa activists and scholars who have, for years, debunked the LRA excuse for introducing troops into East and Central Africa.

Using so-called journalists who are known for their biases and conspiracy theories is not real journalism. The LRA are a serious threat and you do a disservice to the people who are killed, raped, and abducted by them every day.

Daddy & Them
Part romance, part dysfunctional family comedy, Thornton's followup to "Sling Blade" is set in Little Rock, Arkansas. Claude (Thornton) and wife Ruby (Dern) decide to head back home after they learn that Claude's Uncle Hazel (Varney) is in jail, convicted of a petty crime. But the homecoming with Claude's extended family is chaotic to say the least. The constant family bickering gets annoying and the film's minimal charm tires quickly.

I might suggest the Snort Mailing lists, available via Snort.org
I might also suggest the forums, available at Snort.org.
Furthermore I might also suggest the IRC channel on irc.freenode.net in #snort

This is where it all began. Our first ever competition.
In May of 2010, after practicing all winter long, Paul Firlotte, Carl Hurtubise and John Thomson, all assembled at the Gloucester Fair to participate in our first ever Amateur BBQ Competition at the "Smoked to the Bone" event. We rented a pickup truck to haul our gear, Carl borrowed a genny and we gave it our best.
It was an experience that ignited a passion for Competitive BBQ that none of us were expecting in such strong force. We only cooked ribs that day, but you know what? We cooked the best ones there and we won First Place!
Our prize was another Traeger L'il Tex (we upgraded form the Junior that was the original prize) and we were told that if we wanted to compete again, we'd have to go Pro next year. We didn't realize it at the time, but that was only a joke. It didn't matter, I was determined to go Pro for 2011.
Here is a little video of our win: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TilUthD9foA
And some press from Ron Eade, the local paper (Ottawa Citizen)'s Food Blog: http://blogs.ottawacitizen.com/2010/05/31/smoked-to-the-bone-barbecue-go...
The following year the Canadian Southern BBQ Association (sanctioning body for that competition) asked that we write up the story of our transition from Amateur to Professional, and have since posted it on their site here: http://csbbqa.com/becoming-pro.html I have received dozens of mails from people who read that and were inspired to try their own hands at competing. Of that, I am very proud. :-)

Our work has been featured in numerous publications such as Architectural Digest, Dwell, Elle Decor, Interior Design, Metropolis, and the NYTimes.
Born and raised in Hawaii, Syrette now lives and works in Brooklyn, NY. The name Moving Mountains is a tribute to the Hawaiian archipelago and its imperceptible movement northwestward.

Institute of Archaeology
Degree structure
- Degree handbook: open»
The course will be available either full-time over one calendar year or part-time over two calendar years (commencing September). Students will be required to take a core course and two further MA level courses in addition to writing a dissertation.

Option Courses
Students choose to follow two further option courses up to the value of 60 credits: at least one Institute art course (see below), and an additional course from this list or from a range of language, history and archaeology options chosen in consultation with the Course Co-ordinator. Please note not all courses are available every year. The Institute art courses available to students taking this course are still under discussion, but the most popular choices include:
- Ancient Italy in the Mediterranean (ARCLG203, 15 credits, 11 weeks)

Students interested in specialising in the art of one of the other regions for which we lack a special art option but offer a general archaeological course may do so if they have a suitable background and some idea of the general area in which they might develop a dissertation topic. Arrangements can be made for their essays for these courses to focus on art related topics. Applicants wishing to take advantage of this possibility should be sure to mention it in their application, so we can discuss suitable provision at the interview.
Regional options where this arrangement can be made include: The Aegean from the First farmers to Minoan States, Late Bronze Age Aegean, Later European Prehistory, Egyptian Archaeology, Near East Later Prehistory to the Iron Age, Palaeolithic and Neolithic Societies in the Near East, Issues in African Archaeology.
Students also have access to appropriate options from other colleges with the University of London, subject to the approval of the course co-ordinator and college authorities. These include courses at SOAS, for example The Hindu Temple and The Art and Archaeology of the Silk Road, and at Kings College London, for example Greek Sculpture and Ancient Mosaics: Making and Meaning.
(90 credits) - All students are asked to write a dissertation (15,000 words long) which is the result of an individual research project undertaken during the course. This can be on any approved topic relevant to the degree and to the taught components selected. Students are assigned a Supervisor to guide the main stages of the work.
Examples of past projects include:
- representations of the human figure in Bronze Age Aegean glyptic
- art and power in the sanctuaries at Roman Aphrodisias and Hellenistic Nemrud Dagh
- the cultural context of the Easter Island statue of Hoa Hakananai'a
- modes of anthropomorphic representation in Neolithic and Copper Age Italy
- a comparative study of religious architecture
- facial representation in the Chinese bronzes of Sanxingdui

From the creator of Minecraft, this is Minicraft. It's a top-down 2D game, like the old Zelda titles, that plays like a simplified version of Minecraft itself.
You can download the file here, or play the game online. Minicraft was created in 48 hours for a Ludum Dare competition with the theme 'Alone'. Like its big brother, in Minicraft you are free to roam around wherever you want, looking for resources and fending off monsters.
Not quite Minecraft...
While Minicraft is quite charming, and gives you the same desire to explore that Minecraft does, it's a pretty shallow game. That shouldn't be a surprise as it was made in a really short time, but Minicraft does feel like it deserves more development to be a finished game. There isn't really a lot to do, so once you've explored a bit and killed a few monsters… that seems to be all!

Let's take a break from all the Manu Ginobili, broken finger talk and enjoy a moment of levity courtesy of former San Antonio Spurs forward Dennis Rodman.
For a retired basketball player and new Hall of Famer, Rodman sure is making a lot of headlines. Last month he played a charity basketball game in crazy clown makeup. So how can he top that? He's starting his own topless basketball league.
