Print anthology by San Diego Writers, Ink., edited by Laurel Corona and Jericho Brown
This is available in print only. This is the fourth annual literary anthology from San Diego Writers, Ink. Only two authors use genre fiction in this - mine is fantasy, another horror. This is a collection of exceptionally well-done poetry and prose.
It is available at Powell's Books and Amazon.com.
Excerpt:I suggest supporting independent bookstores, by ordering through Portland, Oregon-based Powell's Books.
"Somewhere overhead, flies buzzed and a hawk called. Tall grass swayed in the breeze, tickling his face and arms. He breathed raggedly, open-mouthed, the only human sound around. Beyond the smell of blood and death, the scent of wheat still lingered, drifting to his nose, his mind. The smell of good earth and green grass; it was the smell of life to a ploughman.
He touched again the blade that pinned him to the earth. Slick with oil and his own blood, it had resisted his attempts to pull it from his belly. He'd lacerated his fingers trying; now he was too weak to do anything but try to push it away.
He had never meant to be a soldier. He'd never wanted to wear the leather for his king, never wanted to go into battle with an axe in hand. An axe was meant for trees and stumps. It wasn't meant to be used on another. His axe was steel and oak, and lay just out of reach. He had always planned to use it until the grave, never knowing how close that would be.
His king had called him, and he, a man of the plough, had come."

It was an incredibly fun experience to finally write about this, and it has inspired me to start work on my book. I'm writing a book that will cover my experiences in the Army as an overweight, awkward, and nonathletic geeky kid and how I got through it. Who knows if I'll ever finish it, but it's been fun to work on! Link to my article below:

Many fans of the Metal Gear Solid franchise will tell you that MGS3 Snake Eater was the highlight of the series, due to its sudden change from MGS2 and 1. It switched from the typical warehouse type setting to an expansive jungle and breathed a new light into the series. No wonder Mr. Kojima himself wanted it on the 3DS. The jungle setting is perfectly suited to the 3DS and takes advantage of the 3D effect tremendously, when switched on, it allows you to see what is in the background much easier and how far away an enemy is from you.
Controlling feels natural and just like a console Metal Gear Solid title…with the Circle Pad Pro. If you have ever played Peace Walker on the PSP, you'll easily be able to control this without the add-on, but if you're new to it, controlling the camera can be a pain with the face buttons. Especially when in dense locations and you are surrounded by enemies.
All in all, my first impression of this game is; much better than expected. When playing the demo, I didn't think the game would be up to scratch and wasn't worth the investment. But after buying and playing, wow, I regret nothing. The game is much more polished and is certainly worth your time. If you had any doubts about the games graphical quality, don't be put off. While there is a frame rate hiccup in a few places, it's not un-bearable and I personally think it adds to the game play. 3D is great and controlling feels smooth with the CPP.

Have you tried math workshop or guided math yet? I'll have to admit, they have been on my very long "to do" list this year. I have heard so many fabulous things about it from other bloggers, yet I felt I was not quite ready to try it. That all changed when I read Guided Math by Laney Sammons last month.
Oh. my. gosh! Did my life as a teacher of math change. If you haven't read this book, you must put it on your reading list for spring break. (Does anyone else read professional development books on school vacations besides me???)
For those of you already doing guided reading, this will be right up your alley! Laney breaks down the how and the what of guided math and makes it super easy for you to begin working with small groups during math class. It fits so perfectly into a math workshop that I am kicking myself for not trying this sooner!
My fourth graders just finished up a unit on decimals using the guided math/math workshop approach and I am so amazed with how well my kiddos did on the end of unit assessment!
I have rearranged my schedule to provide for about 90 minutes of math time. (This was not easy, but it was important to me so I made it work.) Students would rotate around four stations (Teacher Time, Independent Work, Math Facts and Math Fun) for about 20 minutes each. During Teacher Time, I was able to work with my students in a small group setting to give semi-individualized instruction.
For decimals, I used the math manipulatives (flat = one whole, sticks = 0.10 and blocks = 0.01) to have students model solutions to problems. It was absolutely amazing! It was so easy to see when my students "got it" and when they were just pretending. As a teacher, there is nothing better than when I hear a student say, "Ohhhhhh.....now I get it!" as they are working through math concepts. And I know that my students LOVED it because they begged me not to go back to the "old way" when we finished our decimals unit. (Yes, that "old way" is the way I was taught back in the day -- "Sage on the Stage," teacher-centered, student-unengaged instruction.)
There are lots of great math workshop sources out there on the web...I will blog more about them later!
Leave a comment and let me know what you think of math workshop or Guided Math. If you have any web resources to share, let me know. I'd love to hear from you!

Well try having someone ELSE'S feelings too.
Finally, a mystical thingie I can actually speak with first-hand authority on. For I am, indeed, empathic.
From what I can determine, there are two kinds of empathy. Partial empathy and true empathy. Partial empathy is actually probably closer to being Anceint Memory than true empathy. By examining the way a person talks, moves and looks and whatever else, often unconciously, a partial empath can accurately deduce what the person is feeling. Or if the person is faking a feeling. As normal as it sounds, it's incredibly remarkable to watch. These people can deduce your mood after just being around you a few seconds, even if you're trying to hide what you're feeling. I say this is closer to Ancient Memory because unconciously the person looks for clues to determine another's mood. Instinctively. Without really realizing it. The person just KNOWS what each clue means.
Now, true empathy is a different story. True empaths don't look for clues to tell how someone else is feeling. We FEEL what they are feeling. Exactly. If I'm around a sad person, even if they're trying to pretend to be happy, I will feel sad and not know why.
True empathy is almost as much a curse as a blessing. For instance, it's almost impossible for me to tell between my own emotions and someone else's. Example (that's actually happened many times): I can log into my favorite chat room and suddenly feel incredibly depressed. Without knowing why. Unless someone comes out and says "I'm depressed..." I will never know for sure if it was empathy or just a random mood swing. And yes, before you ask, true empaths can feel other people's emotions even across the internet. Hell, we can even read a book and feel the main character's emotions! Writing leaves an imprint of an emotion. If the writer of a book is good, he's conveying the emotions of the main character by feeling them. When he feels them as he's writing, he leaves the feelings in the words. Of course, there are crummy authors who don't do that; empaths can tell. "Geeze, this guy just lost his mother and wife in a vicious caribou raid on his farm but he doesn't seem to be feeling bad..."
Across the internet is actually different from a book in how emotions are read. I've never quite understood it, but I'll explain it to you the way it was explained to me. The chat room actually exists on the astral plane, and all our astral forms are there. Therefore, it's just like being in the middle of a party for an empath. It's just as good as standing right next to a depressed person, even if they're in Japan.
There are ways for a true empath to protect him/herself, which brings me to my next topic: Shielding.
I'm no good at it.
Let me clarify. Unless I know the source of the emotion I can't protect myself from it, I feel it just as if it were mine. Compare it to trying to fend off medieval arrows with a medieval shield. In the dark. If I don't know which direction the arrows are coming from, I can't block them with the shield. This gets confusing, especially when people close to me try to hide their emotions to avoid making me feel bad. I still feel their emotions, but because they SEEM happy I can't tell if they're my own emotions or not. If they come out and say "Firedrake, I'm depressed," things work much better. I now know which way the arrows are coming from, I can shield from them (and hopefully help the depressed person).
I didn't realize how much I relied on my empathy until the day someone told me how to shield from ALL outside emotions. I kept that up for one day before dropping the shield forever (if I have any say about it). I was completely clueless. It's like suddenly not having depth perception of any kind. If you want to know what I mean, go a full day wearing an eyepatch. It's only fun if you're a college student. Or drunk. Or both.
Of course, us un-shielded people need to be careful around lots of different emotions, or an extreme surplus of a single emotion. Which leads me to my next topic: overload.
This in itself is little more than annoying. It only becomes overload if (A) There are LOTS of people (and I mean in the high double didgits and beyond) in a confined area all feeling different emotions (like a dance club, for instance), (B) about a dozen people feeling the SAME emotions (at a funeral, for instance), or (C) A person feeling EXTREME emotions (such as during a suicide attempt).
(A) and (B) cause overload almost instantly. (C) I'll get to later.
Overload has a different effect depending on the person. For me, after a brief span of emotional agony (just before the overload) all my emotions shut off like faucet. I can feel no emotion of my own except for the very strongest (such as love for my soulmate), and I feel other people's emotions as if hearing a far-away sound. I basically become a vulcan for a while. I know some people that WISH they could do that. I hate it. I end up pissing people off and alienating close friends simply because my emotions aren't working. After the danger has passed, the emotions take turns running through me until they're all gone. Just TALKING about it is exhausting. And I'm not kidding. Overload of this type can be avoided by shielding or just not being caught by surprise.
Now for (C). The only time I've encountered (C) is when someone is suicidal. The overload is very different in that situation, and also neigh unavoidable.
SOMEHOW, I don't have a clue how, my mind begins to filter the emotions instead of blocking them, allowing me to function (at my peak no less) until the danger of suicide has passed. It's only after I breathe my sigh of relief and the person has left the room that the overload kicks in. First, the fliter vanishes, leaving me feeling the full brunt of the emotion that was kept at bay. THEN those emotions are blocked off for a fairly short time. After that, the emotions flow through me in chunks at unpredictable times. It lasts for about a week on top of the other psychological disruptions that occur after talking someone out of suicide.
I'm sorry, but I refuse to talk about the overload that comes from witnessing an actual attempt. If you need to know because you're going through it, e-mail me and I'll help you out. Otherwise, no.
Blast it, there's simply no segue to feedback loops from there....oh, well. My next topic is: the feedback loop.
A feedback loop happens when two (or more) true empaths begin picking up an emotion from each other. Say, sadness. I feel sad. So X, who is also a true empath, also feels sad. I feel her feeling sad, which adds to my sadness. She feels me feeling sadder, etc. etc. etc. until, in less time than it takes to tell it, we're both sobbing on the floor in each other's arms.
This can be blocked by shielding, but sometimes it happens so fast that you don't realize what's happening. And then there are times you wouldn't WANT to shield from it.
My soulmate is also a true empath. When we're together (as much as we can be together), I feel love for her. She feels love for me. We feel each others' love which adds to our own love over and over and over again. It's better than any drug, I'll tell you that now. Floating on pink clouds is for wimps. We're floating on pink STARS somewhere beyond the Hubble telescope's range. Makes me feel warm and fuzzy just talking about it.
Another good example is my soul sister. She's a true empath as well. If she feels happy, I feel her feeling happy. Which she feels, etc etc until we're both laughing our asses off and making utter fools of ourselves. It's like being drunk without the hangover in the morning. Now imagine me, my soulmate, and my soul sister in the same room. In good moods.
.....on second thought, DON'T.
Blessed Be,
-Aug. 19, 1998

It's Tasha Harrison's turn! Today, Tasha stops by to talk about how she got started writing "filthy stories". As a fellow purveyor of filthy-ish stories, this was a fun read. Enjoy!
♥ ♥ ♥
I am definitely one of those people who always knew that I was going to be a writer.
But I never intended to write filthy stories.
Seriously, I sat down to write perfectly wholesome stories and the filth just happened. I swear!
Well, it kinda almost happened like that but not really.
When I first started writing I was hooked on the classics, particularly African American classics. The words of Maya Angelou, Toni Morrison, and Richard Wright shaped my idea of what a story should be. Proud, literary, respected and most of all Black. I was certain that anything that came out of me would be just like that. Something I could be proud of. Something my mother could brag to her church friends about.
For years I wrote stories that mirrored the ones that I loved from my favorite classical authors. Read-a-likes that fell flat and possessed no authorial voice. And all along I was writing those naughty bits and editing them out because that was not serious writing…right? If I wanted to be taken seriously I couldn't write love stories or romance. I had to ground my plot in something more substantial…right? But here's the thing–no one wanted to read those stories. My efforts to get my literary, proud, respectable work published never paid off.
I quit writing. I didn't even journal.
Life changed. We moved down South which was a huge culture shock for all of us. I began homeschooling my kids and while I was sure this was the best thing to do for them at that time, I was completely and utterly bored. So I started writing again to pass the time. In the beginning, I did try to revisit those more serious stories but immediately gave up on them. At the time, I was reading a lot of romance so that's what I began to write. Very few of the mainstream romances I read had people of color so that's what I began to write: multicultural, interracial, diversity rich romances. My brain produced those naughty bits and I ran with them. In that first year, I wrote a little over two hundred thousand words.
And no one knew that I wrote them for years.
Why? Mostly because I was ashamed. All that filth? All those filthy words and people doing filthy things? The thought of my mother or grandmother reading these books made me nauseous—though ultimately, my mother read In Her Closet when it was in it's very beginning stages and loved it. It also took me a long time to muster up the courage to tell my husband what I was doing all those hours online (I wrote most of it in Google Docs). But once the "big secret" was out I felt great about it. I still cringe when someone I'm close to blurts it out in mixed company, "Hey, my cousin writes dirty books!"
Yeah, that is and will always be strange.
But, for the most part, I love it. I write filthy stories because I love them.
Often accused of navigating life without a filter, Tasha L. Harrison has managed to brand herself as brutally honest without being labeled a b**ch…or at least that's what likes to tell herself. She writes African American and interracial erotica and erotic romance with heroines just as brazen as herself and heroes that struggle to tolerate them while getting them in the sack.

Meaning representation: from continuity to discreteness
Meaning representation: from continuity to discreteness - Descarga este documento en PDF. Documentación en PDF para descargar gratis. Disponible también para leer online.
1 TALARIS - Natural Language Processing: representation, inference and semantics Inria Nancy - Grand Est, LORIA - Laboratoire Lorrain de Recherche en Informatique et ses Applications
Abstract : This paper presents a geometric approach to meaning representation within the framework of continuous mathematics. Meaning representation is a central issue in Natural Language Processing, in particular for tasks like word sense disam- biguation or information extraction. We want here to discuss the relevance of using continuous models in semantics. We don-t want to argue the continuous or discrete nature of lexical meaning. We use continuity as a tool to access and manipu- late lexical meaning. Following Victorri 1994, we assume that continuity or discreteness are not properties of phenomena but characterizations of theories upon phenomena. We briefly describe our theoretical framework, the dynamical construc- tion of meaning Victorri and Fuchs, 1996, then present the way we automatically build continuous semantic spaces from a graph of synonymy and discuss their relevance and utility. We also think that discreteness and continuity can collabo- rate. We show here how we can complete our geometric representations with informations from discrete descriptions of meaning.

The City of Hagerstown will probably not receive about $33,000 owed by the owner of Round the Square, a coffee and sandwich shop that closed in December.
Crescent Moon Ltd, which owned Round the Square, last week filed for voluntary Chapter 7 bankruptcy in U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Maryland in Greenbelt, Md., according to court records.
This means Crescent Moon probably will not pay most of its outstanding debts, Steven C. Kessell, a Hagerstown attorney representing company owner Harry Grandinett, said Monday.
Grandinett did not return telephone messages left Monday.
Kessell said the company owes about $152,870 and has about $7,295 in assets, most of which came from selling off equipment and furnishings.

Intellectual Property Infringement as Vandalism (Part 4)
This is the fourth and last part of my post on my new co-authored piece Intellectual Property Infringement as Vandalism (the first part is here, the second here, and the third here.
While, as discussed previously, a number of people advocate for intellectual property to receive the same level of protection as property, few would openly say that it should receive more. In the discussions about intellectual property as property, the latter is generally viewed as a ceiling in that category. One would therefore expect at first blush that when it comes to sanctions, intellectual property infringement would at most be punished at the same level as property violations. Our paper shows that intellectual property infringement bears the most resemblance to vandalism and trespass. In the realm of sanctions, however, not only are the statutory criminal and civil sanctions generally higher for intellectual property infringement than those for vandalism, they are also higher than for downright property theft.
One of the ways to make a comparison is to imagine a hypothetical good of a certain value and examine how it would be treated under intellectual property versus property law. As will become apparent, this exercise is not without its problems and perils, but it is informative nonetheless. Let us assume that an individual distributes a song illegally to 1,001 other individuals. The song would normally cost $1 to download legally. Had all 1,001 individuals who thus obtained illegal copies bought the song in a legitimate fashion, its owner would have earned $1,001. That being said, in this type of situation, undoubtedly not all 1,001 people would have actually bought the good, so the harm to the song owner is lower than that. Furthermore, one could argue that this distribution may constitute a proximate cause for future redistributions, which would bring about greater harm. The extent of this redistribution and of the role that the initial distributor played in their causation are difficult to predict, as is the number of people who would or would not have bought a given song. As a matter of approximation, let us therefore proceed with the figure of $1,001 for the harm (the high end) but with no regard for subsequent harm involving redistribution. Indeed, that is the figure that copyright law would use to evaluate the gravity of the offense. Whether the action was taken for profit or not, a person guilty of this violation could go to prison for up to a year and be fined up to $100,000. If that individual distributed the song to 2,501 people (thus causing a potential harm of $2,501), she would face a maximum sentence of five years if it was done for profit or three years if it was not. She could also be fined up to $250,000.
What do maximum sentences look like in the context of theft and vandalism for offenses that deprive an owner of $1,001 and $2,501 of his property, respectively? Here are the maximum figures for theft:
One year prison, $5,000 fine
One year prison, $5,000 fine
New York
Four years prison, $5,000 or double profits fine
Four years prison, $5,000 or double profits fine
One year prison, $4,000 fine
Two years prison, $10,000 fine
As one can see, the possible fines for intellectual property offenses (i.e., $100,000 for the $1,001 value, $250,000 for the $2,501 value) vastly outpace the fines for property offenses. When it comes to prison offenses, the sentences on the intellectual property side (one year for the $1,001 value, five years for the $2,501 value) are the same as or higher than all but one of the six possibilities in the table above (New York at $1,001 has a higher prison sentence). Meanwhile, here are the figures for vandalism:
One year, $50,000
One year, $50,000
New York
Four years
Seven years
One year, $4,000
Two years, $10,000
Again, the fines for intellectual property offenses greatly exceed any of the ones for vandalism. The prison sentences are generally either the same for intellectual property offenses or higher, except in New York where vandalism leads to higher maximum prison sentences at both values.
When it comes to offenses under the DMCA, as mentioned previously, the maximum penalty for a first offense is a five-year prison sentence and $500,000 in fines (figures that are not connected in the statute to the size of the economic harm). Here is the comparison to trespass on land:
$100 fine
New York
Fifteen days in prison, $250 fine
180 days in prison, $2,000 fine
Both the maximum prison sentence and fines that the DMCA carries are vastly larger than the possible penalties for trespass.
Overall, the pattern emerges that we do not actually treat intellectual property like property but rather often provide the option of harsher punishments for offenses against the former—sometimes dramatically so—than against the latter. This disparity is made more extreme when one considers the differences in the commission of the acti rei for property offenses as opposed to those typically related to intellectual property infringement. For instance, to return to the earlier hypothetical, distributing a song to thousands of people need take no more than a few mouse clicks. Within seconds, an individual can make himself eligible for the highest sanctions under the criminal copyright laws. Within a few more, he may have committed a second, separate offense that carries its own penalties. Meanwhile, stealing or vandalizing high-value goods generally takes quite a bit of effort and/or time (and may involve the use of force). When we consider the situation focusing on mens rea, the illicit distributor of files may be acting maliciously for five seconds and then even realize that he acted inappropriately. With copyright infringement, a mens rea of very short duration can incur significant sanctions. After violations are committed and discovered, a prosecutor in a copyright case has a lot of discretion in how to stack charges and get offenders to agree to harsh plea bargains because they are intimidated by the high maxima they face.
The disparities that we see between the property and intellectual property regimes may not be driven so much by a reasoned conclusion that intellectual property infringement is worse for society or more morally culpable than theft. Rather, as an initial matter, sanctions are often higher across contexts at the federal level than the state level for similar offenses. Second, owners of copyrighted (and trademarked) goods have exerted a lot of pressure into the political process to maximize sanctions through a variety of bills over the years. While the argument that intellectual property should be treated like property has been used many times to continue to increase sanctions, we show that bringing intellectual property fully in line with property in the arena of sanctions would actually likely mean that the sanctions for the former should be decreased rather than increased.

Irina, thanks for the response. If you don't mind, here's another round....
On the first point, I'm not sure why that would be the case. Much of the point of the guidelines is to make sentences "clean": they minimize the impact of prosecutorial and judicial discretion, charge stacking, and jury reactions. Under the guidelines, what was charged and how the jury responded is much less important than what actually happened. (This is a point of criticism of the guidelines, but that's another matter.) Given that the statutory max penalties are so different from what actually ends up happening under the guidelines, I think it's problematic to make the comparison based on max penalties
On the second point, I don't think the argument would virtually always justify having higher sentences. There are also retributive limits on punishment: in short, punishment should not go beyond what justice requires. Because those arguments apply when punishments are actually awarded, the deterrence argument I have described would be limited to crimes that are rarely enforced. You see a version of this argument in Neal Katyal's 2001 Penn article, and earlier statutory enactments, punishing computer crimes more harshly than physical crimes given that the former tend to be harder to investigate. As the risk of punishment goes down, the argument runs, the severity of punishment should go up in order to deter the misconduct. That's the argument, at least.
Good luck with the article, I look forward to seeing it in print.

Thanks, Orin. On the first point, we did take that into consideration. This was, however, the cleanest way to go about comparing. Otherwise, issues arise regarding prosecutorial discretion, charge stacking, jury reactions, and a number of other factors that could influence the actual sentences.
On the second point, our focus in this piece was not so much on optimal deterrence but on how the law treats a thief versus an infringer. (As an aside, this last argument is highly problematic more generally because it would virtually always justify having high sentences so that the government can spend fewer resources on apprehending and prosecuting criminals even when their identities are knowable.)
Posted by: Irina Manta | Sep 30, 2014 7:15:14 PM
Interesting series, Irina. Two thoughts.
First, can you say more about why you base your comparison on statutory maximum punishments? In federal criminal law, actual sentences are based on guideline calculations, not the statutory max. So to make the most helpful comparative argument, I would think you should make it based on the guidelines ranges rather than the theoretical statutory maximum punishments. The latter can be orders of magnitude greater than the former, so it's potentially a significant difference.
Second, it might be worth considering the following deterrence-based argument in favor of higher punishments for copyright violations. Unlike laws on physical property theft, criminal copyright laws are almost never enforced. Actual prosecutions are extraordinarily rare, which is especially noteworthy given how widespread the criminal acts are. The argument then goes that the law properly adopts a higher punishment to try to get some deterrence out of the mere fact of prohibition even absent actual prosecutions. In other words, the argument runs, higher theoretical punishments are a good idea because the law is comparatively under-enforced. From a utilitarian perspective, a one-in-a-million chance of being prosecuted for a minor offense isn't going to deter anyone; a one-in-a-million chance of being prosecuted for a serious felony might actually give people some pause. To be clear, I'm not endorsing the argument here; I'm just stating the argument. But I think it's an argument worth considering.

So, I think this has officially been the hardest semester of my university career. I'm not exactly sure why, but for some reason, despite the fact that I feel like I am constantly doing school work, I am perpetually behind, which is foreign to me. But it's almost over. The 17th, is fast approaching. This week alone is just madness. I have a paper due today (which I am just about to start...bring on the long night), then an exam on Saturday, and final papers due next Monday and Tuesday. I haven't quite figured out how I'm going to adequately study and research/write two papers, and go to work, but, I guess I'll find out! Next semester is going to be so much more manageable...I can't wait.
hehehe...Charlie loves the snow. He has never spent so much time outside without one of us to entertain him. He's out there frolicking and eating the snow. It's very funny.
I am SO looking forward to finishing exams so we can finally get settled in our house! James is going to finish the floor in the master bedroom next week sometime, so we can actually unpack and take all of the extra furniture out of the would-be dining room...and then when I'm done school I'm going to paint/wallpaper/make pretty the main living room/dining areas, and this place will finally be liveable! Not that it's not know, we're just limited to 2 rooms. It will be nice to be fully unpacked. And have my PIANO!!!!
Ok. That was my little distraction before delving into this paper. I go a little crazy at home by myself with only books and animals to talk to...this way I can pretend that I've actually interacted with people out there, somewhere...
stay warm,

This summer I had the privilege of being a mentor for Sole Train! Words cannot express my experience, both as an athlete and as a person. We started off as mentors and youth, most of whom did not know one another, but all of whom wanted to run the BAA Half Marathon. By the time the fall came around, it was as if we had known each other for years. Along the way we learned about nutrition and running techniques. Most importantly, we learned about each other as we made the ever lengthening runs along the Charles River. Thanks to Jess Leffler and others who helped organize Sole Train, we completed one of the biggest athletic challenges a person can be given. Not only did we do it with smiles and constant encouragement by other Sole Train members, but we were a force to be reckoned with as we put one foot in front of the other until we all reached the finish line. While I truly couldn't ask for a better group of mentors to run with, the youth should be commended for their perseverance, humor and poise. Running 13.1 miles is no small feat! The young man I was fortunate enough to run with for the Half Marathon said that he couldn't have gotten through the race without the mentors by his side. Little did he know that the mentors felt the same way. We couldn't have gotten through it without the youth of Sole Train. Looking forward to Sole Train 2012!

This is the first post I post because I want to draw attention to some events that happened in the last campaign "Operation Gambit". It is questionable how much this clan competition is fair and should it compete in the future.
The biggest problem is the sale of places in the clans. Many clans from the first 100 clans sold places in the clan for money. This can best be seen from the fact that players have accessed these clans at the beginning of the campaign, in the middle of the campaign, and in the last 7 days of the campaign. Of course, all the players who came in, of course, got a tank. The rating of the players who have accessed is often not nearly the same or similar to the average rating of the old players in the clan.
I am a member of an average clan and since the beginning of the campaign, and until December 19th, I and the players who played the campaign were between 9000 and 10,000 places. We played fifteen players from the clan every night and we kept as fast as we could. What's happening on the 19th of December? On December 19, the Orthodox saint Saint Nikola, and people celebrate or go to the guests. Many players could not play that night. All the players got out of the first 11000 for one night. I fell for over 2,000 places. In the next three days, after December 19, we played every night even one territory was taken, but that was not enough.
Why was not it enough?Because the clans who received new money players during the campaign pushed those players into the first 11,000. They even recorded the situation that other players played in their accounts, better players. This is best seen in the fact if you go to a player and look at the statistics before joining that clan and after entering the same clan.
I'm not an inspector and I will not give you the names of the clans and players here, but who is interested in this can be convinced.
I just note that in the future such campaigns are played by themselves and Wargaming with them.
Obviously there is no point in competing and 30 days as something to play when scams are present in every place.
All the best in New Year

Chinese authorities have transferred former security chief Zhou Yongkang's corruption case to prosecutors along with 29 other former high-ranking officials, paving the way for his trial.
The deputy secretary of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, Huang Shuxian, made the remarks in a statement on its website on January 7.
In early December, Zhou was arrested and stripped of his Communist Party membership on charges of leaking state secrets and taking bribes. The retired member of the elite Politburo Standing Committee is the highest level Chinese Communist official to be prosecuted in more than three decades.
Huang said they are also investigating other high-profile cases, including those of Ling Jihua, former minister of the United Front Work Department, and Su Rong, former deputy chairman of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference.
"After the investigation is complete, and if we discover some criminal clues such as abuse of power or accepting bribes, suspects will be transferred to the judicial bodies to face trial," he said.
Meanwhile, Chinese judicial authorities have secured the return of more than 500 economic fugitives, including many alleged corrupt officials from abroad.They have also retrieved more than 3 billion yuan ($480 million) sent overseas illegally.
The 29 other alleged corrupt officials transferred to prosecutors include Jiang Jiemin, former minister of the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission; Li Dongsheng, former deputy minister at the Ministry of Public Security; Li Chongxi, former chairman of the Sichuan Provincial Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference; and Shen Weichen, former Party chief and executive vice-president of the China Association for Science and Technology.
Since November 2012, when the new leadership was elected, the anti-graft campaign has become a top priority for the CPC Central Committee.
President Xi Jinping has vowed to take a series of strong and effective measures to combat corrupt officials, both the "tigers" (senior officials) and "flies" (low-level officials).

Opinion by Consumer Advocate Tim Bolen
The Bad News – on the first week of July, 2015 Jeffrey B. Levens, lead attorney for Doctor's Data in the Doctor's Data versus Barrett, et al, case passed away shortly after a complicated heart operation in Chicago.
I never met Jeff, except on the telephone, and via email, but I have to say I thoroughly enjoyed his writings in the Doctor's Data case, and his management of that case through its bumpy road. His quiet humor came through, patiently answering Barrett's rabid legal ravings. Jeff made Barrett's jumping-up-and-down antics humorous, even to the court. I quoted almost every phrase of Jeff's writings in the case, so my readers could enjoy Barrett's minute-by-minute courtroom demise.
Jeffrey B. Levens told it like it was… with style, and kindness..
Worry not about the case though. Jeff knew his upcoming operation was at best, risky, and prepared his staff, and his partner. Al Augustine. for a takeover.
My last conversational exchange with Jeff was on June 30th, 2015 where I asked him my usual question about the case "Why is it taking so long?" His response was classic. He told me that judges get busy with other cases and that this case was on hold for only a year or so. I responded "Only a year? Do judges do that?" He said "Yes they do, and I've had cases on hold much longer than that. I'll send you a copy of my latest article in the Chicago Daily Law Bulletin." Jeff was telling me about a case he had had on hold for nineteen (19) years… In his email he said: Continue reading The Doctor's Data Versus Barrett Case… Bad News – Good News – No News…

Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom have taken their new love on vacation. The couple were spotted enjoying the warm weather in Hawaii—while holding hands last week. The duo seemed very much into each other as they hiked on the island. Bloom joined Perry in Hawaii for a performance at a private show at the Grand Wailea Resort in Maui on Feb. 24. "They looked very loved up and really into each other," a source told ET. "They were comfortable letting everyone see them as a couple — lots of PDA and hand-holding."
The duo have been getting cuddly since meeting at the Golden Globes and its been a fast romance since then (unless they have been hiding their love behind the scenes). "It seemed very romantic and they both smiled a lot, and looked to really enjoy each other's company."

Description of my painting
Some works have more than 100 liters of paint or more, with many kinds of textures. The dyes that are used to make the paints, I also use them a lot, but they are the ones that take longer to dry, with more resins, depending on the effect I want to create. I like the colors to not mix with each other, so that they keep their original color and when they dry, there are these large cracks, which is what makes them stand out. Using different paints together without mixing them is how I play with the different densities of the different paints, being able to create different thicknesses and textures in a reduced space… Each one dries at a different speed, enabling me to work on the parts that are most interesting. There are some works that I have kept working on for 5 years. Depending on the materials, the time varies a lot between them, and with some, you can mold more than others. Mixing crystals with earthen cements and vivid colored paints is a mixture of creation and destruction and healing all at the same time. From the broken and disordered, from the violence of the splatter to the subtlety of the stroke, all mixed up to create harmony.
In all of this, there is a dance of materials where I always like to represent faces. Not always, but very often. Unfinished faces that the viewer, when he sees them in his imagination, he finishes them, giving them shape, if each viewer sees something different from the rest. This is the freedom of figurative abstraction. Suggesting but not showing everything. The search for materials is endless. With paintings of such large size and with the drying so slow, I can only do a few paintings a year, because until they dry, I can't stop working on them. Now, I only do large format paintings because to work the material well, I need a lot of space, and the feeling I get after working on a painting for so long and to see it dried and hanging is indescribable. One painting that you like a lot of 10 cm x 10 cm can move you a lot, but one that you like a lot and measures 10 meters by 2 meters, the sensation is much more intense. And with a lot of material, with you being the first one to see it, adjusting the lights to play with the shadows of the reliefs… It's an indescribable sensation.

Thanks for the quick response.... I suggest you add a note under the button to explain that; otherwise it confuses people and makes them think it is broken :)
Also; this #2 recipient doesn't seem to be getting the form results after submitting the form.... the #1 recipient is. Do we need to approve or confirm recipients before it will send to them?
- JotForm SupportKiranAnswered on November 22, 2016 at 04:15 PM
Thanks for the suggestion. For the second email issue, I see that there is a condition set on the form and so the email will be sent only when the condition set is true.
Please try submitting the form by selecting the rules provided in the condition so that the email will be sent successfully.

We're glad you're all set and thank you for the feedback on this part:
I suggest you add a note under the button to explain that; otherwise it confuses people and makes them think it is broken :)
I agree that we don't have a note under the button that explains that, but after using the TEST EMAIL button, a notice will be displayed right beside the button that will show to which email it has been sent to (in this case, it will always be sent to the registered email associated with the account).
Aside from that, this was also mentioned on our guide on How-to-Properly-Add-Change-and-Test-a-New-Email-Recipient-Address
Just open a new thread in case you have other questions :)
