In addition, the program also offers up to four hours of free one-on-one mentoring.

It's prediction time as the college football season is here. Here are a few big picture forecasts for season, or ammo for you guys to make fun of me for in December. Take your pick.
Florida State is guaranteed to win the ACC
Simply put, the ACC is a disaster and Florida State is the only team with firepower. Clemson and North Carolina are good but don't have the horses for FSU. The toughest conference game for Florida State will probably be at AAC import Louisville on a Thursday night. Maybe Miami can do something but FSU has everyone else outclassed on paper.
PAC-12 is more likely to have two teams in the playoff than the SEC.
The PAC-12 plays nine conference games a year while the SEC still does eight. Last season, that trait alone boosted the PAC-12's rankings and they'll be right there with the SEC this year. All 14 SEC schools play a FCS opponent compared with eight of the PAC-12 schools. If the selection committee values non-conference schedules then the PAC-12 has the inside edge.
SEC champ will come out of the East division
The East division has been pushed around by the West lately and I'm calling that to change this year. Georgia was banged up last season and look for them to be deeper this season as a result. South Carolina is waiting to break through after three-straight 11-2 seasons. Luck should come to one of these schools and upset Auburn or Alabama in the SEC championship. I give the edge to Georgia.
Everyone in the Big Ten will have at least two losses.
With Ohio State losing quarterback Braxton Miller the Big Ten is lacking a power team. Look at this candidate for the most depressing tweet of the year.
Official Statement: Braxton Miller will miss 2014 season Sr/QB re-injured right shoulder Monday throwing short pass http://t.co/JSrMNpCn2a
— Ohio State Buckeyes (@OhioStAthletics) August 19, 2014
If Michigan State loses to Oregon (Sept. 6) and Wisconsin loses to LSU this Saturday in Houston then the conference is out of options. Will the committee select a Big Ten team with two losses? Highly unlikely. Maybe the Spartans can run the table in conference play and get in with just the Oregon loss. Hard to see that happening though.
Oklahoma is a lock to be in the playoff.
Oklahoma is coming off a huge win over Alabama in the Sugar Bowl and should be favored in every game this season. OU gets Baylor at home, the team in the league with the most explosive offense. With Texas rebuilding and Oklahoma State having to replace most of its team this has to be Oklahoma's year.
The mid-majors will struggle for attention
The "Group of Five" has little chance of breaching the playoffs and that's a problem. The top mid-major will get into a BCS level bowl but that's not part of the playoff. Schools like Boise State, Central Florida and Louisiana have loaded up on their non-conference schedules but that will only help them if they go undefeated. Marshall is the favorite to win Conference USA but plays nobody. The MAC is the most unpredictable conference as its schools will beat each other up. These five conferences are going to have to reevaluate things soon.
The playoff format will work… for the most part.
Four is better than two but someone is going to be upset when the selections are announced. I predict that will be Big Ten fans as the odds are shaky for them in getting a spot. The mid-majors might have to make their own subdivision soon as the power conference schools are taking things over. Still, this will be better than last decade of postseasons. New Year's Day matters again without compromising the regular season.
As for the championship I'm picking Oregon to beat Georgia. Hey, the more things you guys have to make fun of me for the better.

I actually really enjoyed colouring them in, even though each mini took me as long to colour in as a normal sized one. I've used nesties to cut the rectangles out, and used Tim Holtz coordination's as the colours match my distress inks that I've used to colour the Tilda's in. I've used an inverted corner punch on the bottom, I've stuck 13 mm White Fine Vintage Style Cluny Lace between two pieces of the card. The fancy die cut is from a doohickey tag set, I've used Ash Rose Shabby Seam Binding for a tassel and I've subtly added Chrystal Glamour Dust.
We're sponsored for this challenge by Wild Orchid Crafts. Pop over to Totally Tilda, there are some seriously talented ladies there, the creations are amazing.
As soon as Grace saw this she asked me if she could have it, and smiled ever so sweetly. My kids know exactly how to work me, so this is now safely tucked inside a Little Miss book on her bedside table. I wouldn't care, I was quietly pleased with how this had turned out and even though I have a kindle I do occasionally still like to read a proper book and I was wanting this for myself, oh well if I ever get the time I will be creating another one

2018 Clagett/Oakcliff Match Race Clinic and Regatta Dates Announced
2018 Clagett/Oakcliff Match Race Clinic and Regatta Dates Announced
Newport, R.I. (March 19, 2018) – The C. Thomas Clagett, Jr. Memorial Clinic and Regatta and Oakcliff Sailing are pleased to announce the 2018 dates for the Clagett/Oakcliff Match Race Clinic and Regatta hosted by The WaterFront Center.
Building on the success of two previous events, this year the Clagett/Oakcliff Match Race Clinic and Regatta will be held September 28-30 at Oakcliff and The Waterfront Center in Oyster Bay, New York. Invitations may be requested through the link below.
Clagett President and Co-Founder, Judy Clagett McLennan commented, "We are extremely excited to be partnering with Oakcliff and The WaterFront Center again this year to hold the third Clagett/Oakcliff Match Race Clinic and Regatta for sailors for adaptive needs. We look forward to seeing previous attendees put in to practice skills they learned from the last two years and to watch new teams discover another racing format. These skills can be used in both match and fleet racing."
In 2017, 27 competitors enjoyed a variety of conditions. It was a second-time competitor Pauline Dowell who epitomizes the spirit of this regatta. Dowell, from Boston, Massachusetts, was at the bottom of the leader board in 2016, and she along with her crew of Christian Thaxton and Kay VanValkenburgh took home the top spot in 2017 without losing a match. Dowell is a long time blind sailor who has raced across the country with her Massachusetts based team.
"I absolutely love the Clagett and both Dave Perry and Dave Dellenbaugh! These coaches make the whole weekend such a fun and wonderful experience. The competitors are amazing and super wonderful people. It's more collaboration than competition. Winning the Clagett/Oakcliff Match Race Clinic and Regatta was an awesome experience and I look forward to taking part in this great event again this year!" commented Dowell. Dowell was reached for comment while in Morristown, N.J. training with her first ever guide dog, Dora. Dora will be living onboard Dowell's boat, which is on Boston Harbor, at the end of March.
Five-time National Match Racing Champion, Dave Perry, who along with Dave Dellenbaugh, winning America's Cup tactician, will be returning to coach over the three-day Clinic and Regatta, added," I am so pleased that the Clagett organization and Oakcliff are continuing to partner. Together, we are able to bring the excitement and challenge of formal match racing to a growing community of sailors who are falling in love with this style of racing."
Bill Simon, race program director at Oakcliff remarked," We are expecting the best Clagett/Oakcliff Match Race Clinic and Regatta this year. We moved the event to late September so we can expect better wind and even more competitive match racing. Requests for invitations are now open and it is important to get your request in now as many past competitors have already expressed interest. We expect a full regatta. Thanks to all of our partners, Sail Ahead, The WaterFront Center and Seawanhaka Corinthian Yacht Club, who help The Clagett and Oakcliff make this event possible."

About The Clagett/Oakcliff Match Race: Founded in 2016, The Clagett/Oakcliff Match Race event is a match racing event open to both adaptive and able-bodied sailors from the US and outside the US. At least the skipper should identify as having a disability. The Clagett, whose motto is "Reach for Success", and stated mission is "to assist sailors in realizing their potential on the water by providing them both the knowledge and tools to improve their skills and the opportunity to use these skills in competition," has joined with Oakcliff Sailing, a non-profit coaching and training center for sailors who have progressed beyond traditional coaching methods. The event will be hosted by The Waterfront Center in Oyster Bay, NY and supported by Seawanhaka Corinthian Yacht Club, SailAhead and the Warrior Sailing Program.

Hey everyone! Hope your day is going awesome!!! Found out that I'm going to be getting my Garrus body pillow soon. Here is the next day of the challenge 😀
Here is Day 3 – A game that is underrated.
I feel that the current game that is underrated is Dying Light.
This game I feel is seriously underrated. This game is so fun to play and the detail and time the developers put into this game is ridiculous. There is going to be an update in a few days and I cannot wait!!!
I feel that this game has everything, it has an open world, customization weapons, different classes to update, and it's co-op/multiplayer. This is is absolute fun game to play with friends and the openness and the missions create different directions that you can go for story wise. I feel that this game is underrated, since it does not have that quick play through, or its not like the normal games that. Though it seems that the developers for this game care what the community thinks and how to improve their game. I can really respect these guys and the work that they have put into their work.
They are going to add vehicles to the game in a few days! I'm super excited for this and I hope you guys give this game a try if you have not already (:
Hope you guys enjoyed my post! Until next time <4

European shares dip on heavy earnings day as euro rebounds
MILAN (Reuters) - European shares fell in morning trading on Thursday, weighed down by a rebound in the euro from four-month lows against the dollar in a day dominated by earnings updates.
By 0719 GMT, the pan-European STOXX 600 index fell 0.2 percent, retracing from three-month highs, while Germany's DAX and Britain's FTSE also fell slightly.
Among big companies that reported results, adidas fell 2.6 percent after the German sportswear firm posted sales growth slightly shy of analyst expectations, although net profit rose more than expected.
Smith & Nephew slumped 6.5 percent after Europe's biggest artificial hip and knee maker cut its forecast for full-year underlying revenue growth after some markets softened and it saw a slowdown in its bioactives business. Bpost fell 12 percent as results lagged expectations.
Elsewhere, however, some well-received company updates provided support. Logitech rose 8.4 percent following a better than expected quarterly results.
French utility Veolia rose 3 percent after quarterly revenues rose, as its French water business returned to growth and international activities also showed double-digit growth.
LONDON (Reuters) - The euro rose off four-month lows on Thursday as the dollar's recent rally came to a halt after the Federal Reserve did little to alter market expectations for further interest rate rises this year.
Expectations of faster-than-expected rate rises in the U.S., as well as a rapid covering of positions by investors short on the dollar, has sent the greenback to its strongest level since mid-January.
But the Fed left its benchmark overnight lending rate in a target range of between 1.50 percent and 1.75 percent as had been widely expected on Wednesday.
Analysts interpreted its comments on inflation as a signal the Fed may allow prices rises beyond its target, a stance that would limit the need for the central bank to embark on a more aggressive path of monetary tightening in response to recent rises in inflation.
On Thursday the dollar index, measured against a basket of currencies, was flat was the euro rose 0.3 percent EUR= to $1.1983, off the low of $1.1938 it fell to on Wednesday.
"In the end it was not a major surprise for the market that the Fed left the key rate unchanged at the meeting without a press conference but made positive comments on the outlook and further rate hikes," Commerzbank analysts said in a note.
"The market will have to get used to the fact that in order to prevent an economic overheating interest rates in the U.S. will continue to rise," they said, predicting that rate differentials between countries would have an increased bearing on currencies and could cement euro/dollar at around $1.20.
With the Fed's meeting out of the way, focus is shifting to U.S. jobs data due on Friday for further indications of the strength of the economy and inflation pressures.
A near-term focus for the common currency is euro zone inflation data due later on Thursday, said Mitul Kotecha, senior EM strategist for TD Securities in Singapore.
The euro could come under pressure if the data shows a slowdown in core inflation in the euro zone, Kotecha said, adding that the dollar could see further gains, at least in the near term.
The dollar has been buoyed in recent weeks by the strong U.S. economic outlook and rising Treasury yields amid signs of a relative slowdown in some other developed economies, such as those in Europe.
The dollar eased 0.1 percent to 109.68 yen JPY=, inching away from a three-month peak of 110.05 yen set on Wednesday.
Elsewhere, Norway's central bank gives its policy decision at 0800 BST, with any sign of hawkishness from the central bank set to push the crown higher. The crown has benefited from rising oil prices this year.
Commodity-linked currencies like the Canadian CAD= and Australian AUD= dollars gained sharply, with the latter rising 0.4 percent to $0.7523 cents after data showing a better-than-expected jump in the country's trade surplus for March.
The Aussie dropped to as week as $0.7473 earlier this week to hit its lowest since mid-2017.

Leading seniors' advocacy group, COTA Australia, has partnered with Industry Super Australia to host a high-level roundtable on superannuation fund investment in Melbourne today.
Speaking at the roundtable Nick Mersiades, Director of Aged Care, Catholic Health Australia said: "If we look at the cold hard figures, our current aged care system is simply not sustainable.
"By 2054-55, we will see an increase in the population of 65-84 year olds from 3.1 million to 7 million.
"Based on current supply targets, government spending in the sector will increase from less than 1% of GDP currently to 1.7% by 2054-55.
"Sustainability concerns have prompted calls to greater contributions from those older Australians who are able to pay – currently, home care income tested fee contributes 2.5% of care costs, meanwhile residential care means test contributes 6% of care costs," said Nick Mersiades.
COTA CE Ian Yates said: "The aged care sector will be needing trusted institutions willing to invest in much-needed infrastructure. It would be terrific to see greater involvement amongst super funds.
"Demand for aged care is growing rapidly, with the Aged Care Financing Authority estimating the residential care sector alone will require $35 billion to cater for this demand.
"Looking beyond investment, industry super funds have the opportunity to play a unique role in improving aged care literacy among older Australians.
"Older Australians face a number of challenges when entering into an aged care facility and many lack the information and resources required to make informed choices.
"Industry super funds can offer retirement information and planning services to older Australians so they are better equipped when weighing up their different retirement options," said Mr Yates.
"It's an opportunity to speak with members about getting their financial and legal affairs ready for later in life. Getting Powers of Attorney in place, developing their strategies to remain independent at home, and simply understanding what aged care means today is not the same as it was for our grandparents.
In his presentation, Mr Yates, also reiterated the importance of ensuring that the design of Comprehensive Income Products for Retirement (CIPRs) provide for people to fund their aged care.
"CIPR's are designed to mitigate the risk of a person outliving their retirement savings, providing older Australians with flexibility and assurance."
Industry Super Chief Executive David Whiteley said: "The forum today was a pertinent opportunity to better understand where aged care is headed and how industry super funds can play a positive role."
The roundtable was attended by representatives from Australian Super, Cbus, Hesta, IFM Investors, ME Bank, ISPT, Catholic Health Australia, COTA, the ACTU and Industry Super.

Nice local public course. Well maintained, well kept. Small club house and bar area. Small driving range. Reason for rating so low is that hole layouts are bad. You have other players playing off different holes fairways. Two of the holes even use the same tee box! But overall good value for your money

As a municipal course, Hilaman is both affordable and enjoyable. They typically run $10 cart fees & $10 green fees on Wednesdays, which makes for a cheap weekday round. The downside to the affordability is that you get a lot of people playing in jeans & t-shirts, paying little attention to basic rules of etiquette.
The renovations and improvements done in the offseason have definitely improved the course and clubhouse facilities. The greens feel faster (still not as quick as Seminole) and more consistent in speed. The new deck at the clubhouse is also a nice addition. I'm anxious to see how the improvements hold up throughout the season.
Bottom line: I wouldn't rely on Hilaman to be my primary course, but it's challenging enough, mostly due to its narrow designs, to keep me playing every once in a while.

A different course compared to the FSU golf course for a change. Prices aren't bad and it's closer for those in the Tallahassee area.

Phoebe Philo continues what she does the best, another pre-collection that feels fresh, new, but still has what has become so very Celine. The french house have lately kept their pre-collections under seal, and the image release of this highly anticipated Resort 2015 collection coincides with the release of the ads fronted by what has become Celine in house model Daria Werbowy. Feeling inspired anyone, I surely do.

Carton packaging, often now with barrier protection and twist-open spouts, have long been popular dairy packages. Now cartons also are used for soups and even dry goods. Paper-board cartons can be recyclable and sustainable options. New options for freshness in cartons abound.

As playoffs draw nearer, every match increases in importance. The Swiss format of these first six weeks ensures the top of the table faces off against teams also in the upper echelon. With that, we have explosive matchups every week, and this weekend is no exception.
The Columbia College Cougars (3-0) take on the Grey Wolves of Lourdes University (3-0) in a best of three. It does not take much digging to find the Cougars' analyst Drake Porter's thoughts on the state of his team. A couple weeks ago Porter released his collegiate power rankings via Twitter:
General rankings for cLoL:
2. Everyone else
— Drake Porter (@CoachDrakeLoL) January 24, 2018
This confidence is well placed. Over the summer, Columbia College put together one of the strongest rosters in collegiate LoL history. While retaining members Ian "MistyStumpey" Alexander and Dean "Dean" Wood in, respectively, the top and support roles, CC recruited an incredible transfer class by scooping up sophomore ADC Evan "EvanRL" Lawson from Robert Morris University and former Florida State Seminole Julien "Julien" Gelinas to play the mid-lane role. Gelling together is no concern of Alexander, "Most of us have been friends before transferring."
Then there's the other side of the matchup. The Grey Wolves have posted the highest team KDA (18.8) in the entirety of College LoL. Freshman jungler Clement "Hyami" Wittner's contribution can't go overlooked, but all eyes will be on Connor "Artemis" Doyle come Sunday. The veteran transferred during the summer of 2017 after making waves with Columbia College last season.
Doyle had few words about his former team, but he did show a bit of confidence in facing the Cougars. "I'm confident I can beat [Columbia College] in draft and put our guys in a position to succeed," he explained. Doyle also made a role swap from ADC to support in order to create room for sophomore Wesley "Homecoming" Pratt.
Everyone knows the significance of this match. A loss here makes the journey forward much more difficult. "I'd say this is probably the most important game of our bracket," Pratt said of the the showdown this weekend. "It's a match that was bound to happen and it's probably the best time for it."
You can catch the action Sunday February 11th at 2pm CST on the Collegiate StarLeague Twitch channel. Be sure to follow CSL on Twitter @CSLLoL for all the updates on collegiate League of Legends.

Itake exception to Charley Reese's recent column that said the tragic, mistaken attack on a U.S. ship by Israeli forces is a favorite of people who see Jews as the secret masters of the universe. I am not anti-Semitic or anti- anybody. I have many Jewish friends, in and out of the Navy.
The USS Liberty, an electronic intelligence ship, was attacked June 8, 1967, by Israeli jets and torpedo boats as it cruised in international waters 15 miles north of the Sinai Peninsula at the outbreak of what became known as the Six Day Mideast War.

here to serve you, the NR Breeder, to the end of encouraging the healthy, supportive, and holistic rearing of your carefully bred puppies and kittens throughout their lifetimes.
Listing with NR Breeder means listing

kittens have not been raised on highly
processed or even toxic pet food
products, over-vaccinated, chemically altered by monthly pesticide products,
surgically mutilated by infant hysterectomy or castration, or
endangered by the implantation of
such things as RFID microchips.
While individual NR Breeders will vary
as to their specific protocols of care and
rearing, most will consider the description
above to be a generally acceptable
definition of an NR Breeder. If your own
protocol differs greatly from this general
definition in several areas, we request
that you do not seek to be listed with
NR Breeders.
If your protocol reflects and embraces
this general definition, then this is the
site designed specifically for
breeder listing!
Breeder ads will be catalogued first by breed group, and then alphabetically
by breed. If the registry becomes large
enough within a particular breed, it will
then be broken down into geographic
listings by country, state, and province
as appropriate.
All listings will include the following:
* Your kennel or cattery name;
* Breed Registry (CKC, AKC, UKC, ANKC,
KC, NCC, CFA, TICA, etc.)
* Free link to your web site and / or
email address;
* Appropriate photo;
* Up to thirty words of sub text
The yearly cost for listing with
NR Breeders is just $25 (U.S) and you
can pay for your listing easily
with our PayPal button, below.
All new listers placing a link back to
NR Breeders
on their web sites will receive a
additional six months
listing, totaling 18 months
(a full year and a half!)
at the 12 month price!
So, list with us now,
link to
our site, and your kennel or cattery
box ad will be appear on
NR Breeders
for a
year and a half
at a cost of just $25 (U.S.) !
Business ads will be listed separate from
breeder ads. If you have a business that
relates to the needs of NR Breeders and
NR Pet Owners, and would like to
advertise on our site, please email us
regarding your interest.
We reserve the right to refuse any listing
or any renewal listing request.
Send us:

Northwest Minnesota Birding Report- Thursday, February 17, 2011
This is the Northwest Minnesota Birding Report for Thursday, February 17, 2011 sponsored by the Detroit Lakes Regional Chamber of Commerce. You may also hear this report by calling (218)847-5743 or 1-800-433-1888.
We have had a teaser of spring conditions this week, but as I compile this report, the snow is blowing again and the temperatures are falling. Within the past week we have seen and heard that the lengthening days have got the resident birds singing their spring songs again. Much of the snow that we had has melted and evaporated this week, but surely some is being replaced and old man winter isn't about to leave so easily.
The Fargo- Moorhead Audubon Society took a trip to the Roseau area on February 16 where they had good success. Seen were a ROUGH-LEGGED HAWK, NORTHERN GOSHAWK, several NORTHERN HAWK OWLS, a SHORT-EARED OWL, BLACK-BACKED WOODPECKER, GRAY JAY, PINE GROSBEAK, COMMON REDPOLL, one HOARY REDPOLL,and WHITE-WINGED CROSSBILLS among others . All were seen in the Roseau bog or in and around the town of Roseau.
Doug Johnson saw a NORTHERN GOSHAWK at Three Island County park in Beltrami County on February 4. On Sunday, February 6, he saw a BLACK-BILLED MAGPIE on Pincherry Road a miles south of CR 20 east of Bemidji. A RED-BELLIED WOODPECKER was also seen in the area. About 50 BOHEMIAN WAXWINGS were seen in Bemidji on February 8.
Matt Mecklenburg reported that BOHEMIAN WAXWINGS were seen in Middle River, Marshall County , by the Fargo-Moorhead group on February 16.
Sandy Aubol in East Grand Forks, Polk County, reported on February 16, 3 CEDAR WAXWINGS, and 45 BOHEMIAN WAXWINGS were seen on the north side of the city that day. Other species seen in the area included 4 AMERICAN ROBINS, COMMON REDPOLLS, one HOARY REDPOLL, and some AMERICAN GOLDFINCHES. On February 17, a COMMON GRACKLE came to her yard.
In Otter Tail County on February 13, Jo Fritz observed a GREAT HORNED OWL on the north side of Fergus Falls on N. Vine St between W Birch and W Beech Avenues.
Thanks to Doug Johnson, Jo Fritz, Matt Mecklenburg, and Sandy Aubol for their reports.
Please report bird sightings to Jeanie Joppru by email, no later than Thursday each week, at [email protected] OR call the Detroit Lakes Chamber's toll free number: 1-800-542-3992. Detroit Lakes area birders please call 847-9202. Please include the county where the sighting took place. The next scheduled update of this report is Thursday, February 24, 2011.

It's been a long time since my last post. I haven't read most of the post on blogs in my Google Reader/Blogroll. School work's been taking up most of my time and when I finally got a week-long break last week, my body decided to crash and I spent most of it at home with a cough and a slight fever.
Anyway, before the break started, I was invited to write at Nerd Fellowship. I decided to give it a try and wrote my first post on the new video/trailer for the upcoming Metal Gear Solid Scene Expansion. I can't wait for the new maps and gear! Hopefully the outfit near the end does have the same effect as the Magazine. Haha! I bet it's just for fun though.
Obviously, that was my favorite part of the vid. Adding to that is the Robbie mascot head. It took me a few seconds to realize why the bunny head looked familiar. I suppose it's a Konami thing. Hehe! Here's hoping for more cameos/references!

Approach, rejection. Birth, stagnation. Stark and brutal choreography restrained by a laconic male libido. These are the vectors around which legendary Uzbek performance artist Anatoly Kuznetzov and local businessman Vincent Hubbard hang their work.
Drawing upon the Judson tradition of minimal and repeating dance cycles, Kuznetzov takes vogueing movements and gradually articulates them into something more profound – a strangely emphatic rejection of dance as spectacle.
Conversely, the Fluxus-infused situationist approach of well-known local artist Vincent Hubbard takes this piece in a very different direction. For Hubbard, life itself is considered an extension of choreographed movement. Birth, education, work and family weave into a 4-dimensional dialectic indistinguishable from abstract performativity.
Kuznetsov and Hubbard's performances are intense, confrontational and political.
Boys Don't Cry will be performed live in the Branning Atrium at 3pm on Saturday 14th, 21st and 28th October. The performance lasts approximately 43 minutes and flash-photography is not allowed.

Sci-Fi Short Film "Seam" presented by DUST

A very well made, interesting short Sci Fi movie. Shows what can be done when you are really original and produce on your own.

- Excellent production.
Thanks, nick!
- Amazing how good a cheap, well made film can be. This is what is scaring Hollywood, these little movies get made for 20-40K and are good, vice 120 million for a piece of crap with too loud a sound and pretty effects.
- Lead actor had recurring role on NCIS a couple years ago.
- Posted by $ allosaur 1 year, 1 month agoSo that's where I've seen him. I don't watch NCIS but I encounter it channel-surfing.
- Yes, a friend used to work in special effects on Hollywood movies (e.g., Pirates of the Caribbean.) He reported that it was not unusual for a producer to get a new vacation house built from scratch and billed to the movie production. (No, I don't recall if it was done on Pirates.)
- And thus gets born the 120 million movie that really was a 40 million or less movie. Richard hatch (of Axanar) spoke of the very topic at SD Comic Con in 2015.
- Posted by chad 1 year, 1 month agoEnjoyed it very much but left me with a lot of questions as to why, what were they trying to accomplish, where can they go next? Will watch others of this venue if I can find them.
- A short film has to pack a lot into a little, but do it carefully. They gave you a couple clues along the way, the human robots were sleepers put into place to unknowingly and unscheduled destruct, i.e. a perfect terror weapon. When they discover, or think they are one, they head back to the robot colony for help. Of course there are a lot of unanswered questions, some writers want it that way, to allow the view to play "what if", but sometimes they miss the mark. I have watched it a few times and still am not quite sure of everyone's motives.
- Posted by $ CaptainKirk 1 year, 1 month agoWow, that was crazy good!
- Posted by $ MikeMarotta 1 year, 1 month agoVery nice. Many more by DUST. Thanks!
- You are welcome. Good art is hard to find today....
- Posted by $ Olduglycarl 1 year, 1 month agoThe One thing I dislike about these short well made, interesting films...is that they are too short! and unlikely to be followed up.
- I used to feel that way too, then I got so disgusted with seeing a 90 minute POS, I had to change and accept that there are really good artists and producers out there who can tell a good story in 10 or 15. LEAP was another one.

"Neko-chi's Trials" is the sixteenth episode of Pretty Rhythm Aurora Dream.
Neko-chi and Mion get into a dispute when Neko-chi grows concerned over Mion. She attempts to make amends but struggles to try to figure out how she can show how much she cares.
Neko-chi watches Mion as she practices in the training room. She struggles to focus on anything other than her batopon's fluffy pom poms and attempts to attack it when Mion tosses it into the air. But before she can grab ahold of them, Mion jumps up and grabs it again. She poses as Neko-chi hits the floor, complimenting Mion for a good job. It's then she gets a phone call. As Neko-chi fetches her a towel and her bottle of water, Mion begins to speak with her father, who has called to inform her that he won't be back for a while, so neither he or her mother will be there to watch her perform. Mion insists that it is fine and hangs up after. With that Mion decides to continue training, although Neko-chi jumps into the air again to go after the batopon. To her surprise, she ends up smacking into it, which causes Mion to fall to the floor as she jumped too late to catch it. She insists that she is okay as Neko-chi runs to fetch her the first aid kit, but she doesn't believe her.
Later on, Aira and Rizumu train while Rabi-chi and Bea-chi watch. They are highly impressed by the girls' sudden improvement; to which the girls show them the brand new Prism Watches they bought. Everyone was saying that if one was to wear it, their wish will come true, and Aira and Rizumu also show the little stickers they added to the watch. Since then they have been having great luck; Hibiki flirted with Rizumu when she went to their secret spot, and Aira was given a bunch of sweets from people in her neighborhood, and her mom even bought her new clothing. They even did better on tests and found missing items.Mion returns to resume training when Nekochi suggests she stops for a break. Mion claims she doesn't need one though and continues as Neko-chi stops her to point out she's not doing well. None of the girls see what she meant though, so Neko-chi explains that her jump was off, much to her surprise. Mion assures Neko-chi that she will get it perfected by the time of her performance. Neko-chi worries about her professionalism though, causing Mion to storm off. Rabi-chi wastes no time to mock Mion tough, saying she shouldn't perform at all but the others find this mean. They express confusion over Neko-chi's concern afterward, and she starts to explain to them that Mion has been forced to act grown up since she's surrounded by them so frequently. She learned to do things on her own and needs to overcome them that way, but she is sure that at the same time, Mion would like to be able to depend on others too. She then brings up how Mion's parents won't be able to see her perform, and while she wants to be supportive for her, she doesn't know what to do.
Suddenly Mion arrives in the room, having forgotten her bag. Angered, having heard Neko-chi talk to the others, she insults her for invading her privacy and her credit as a Manager. She storms out of the room, leaving the brokenhearted Neko-chi behind. That evening, Neko-chi mourns while Aira and Rizumu spy on her. They try to figure out what to do when they get the idea of purchasing Mion her own Prism Watch.
They approach her the next day, somewhat anxious and reveal to her the Prism Watches. She refuses them and walks off. They try again, but she refuses and tells them to mind their own business. Rizumu gets rather angry and confronts Mion on this, but she claims that she has no reason to trust a lucky charm. She is better off on her own and is sure she can handle things just fine.
To their surprise, the entire Harune family arrives. They inform their plans for surveying the other Cake Shops in town to see what they are up to lately after having tried some of the things Aira brought home the day before. Aira gets upset that they didn't wait for her, so she decides to tag along with her family and invites Rizumu. But when she thinks about Mion, she goes to ask her, only to realize she already left.
Mion walks by a street while thinking about how childish the girls were acting. As this goes on, Neko-chi observes her before she goes to find Penguin-Sensei to ask him for help. He agrees to help but spends the entire session having his body massaged by her. When she finishes, he begins to take off, calling for Yamada to come and pick him up. Neko-chi calls him out on not teaching her anything, but he claims he did and points out how he and Yamada are always together. With that, they leave while discussing their dinner plans.
That evening, Mion has just finished training when she gets another call. She takes out her cellphone and is surprised to hear it's her father, saying he may be able to come to her show after all. This delights Mion, although she tells him that he doesn't need to force himself to get there if he is unable to, then she hangs up again. Feeling better, she waits for Neko-chi to come by and hand her a towel, only to remember that Neko-chi is no longer there.
Soon the Prism Show arrives. Aira and Rizumu go out to perform while Mion practices throwing her baton. Their turn ends and they return right after as Mion prepares to head out. She seems somewhat unsure, and the girls insist that she takes their Prism Watches, although she keeps refusing. The charms won't help her and as someone alone, she needs to get over her problems on her own.
Neko-chi suddenly appears and holds the charm. She tells Mion that she will be fine because even if she thinks she may be alone she really isn't because she has all of them cheering for her and ready to lend a hand. She tells her that they care about her, and in doing so, Aira and Rizumu wrap the charms around her wrist for her to wear. Happy with the turn of events, the flustered Mion walks by them to go on stage while telling them to mind their own business. She performs, using both the Throbbing Memory Leaf and Golden Star Magic jumps.
As Aira and Rizumu walk home, Mion runs by to return their Prism Watches. She claims that because her Aura has been infused into them, the girls will perform better now in multiple fields. This annoys Rizumu at first, while Aira fawns over hers, until Mion claims Rizumu will have better luck in love. It's then she gets another call from her Father, where it turns out that he has been delayed again. At first Neko-chi worries, but Mion tells him that she will be okay because her friends are a lot of trouble without her as it is. With that she grabs Neko-chi, telling her that it is time to go home and they head off as the episode ends.
Prism Stone Shop
Before Anime
The girls watch game videos of dancing and movement by the character until Coach Jubi arrives. She has come to teach them the Pretty Punch, which involves raising the arm straight into the air, then raising the opposite leg. She advises them to keep it smooth, then shows the girls how to connect the pom pom to transform the batopon into its baton form. To see to it that they have learned, she has music play and the girls put everything together. As they review it a few times, Rabi-chi, Bea-chi, and Neko-chi do the girls quote before starting the episode.
After Anime
Reina, Mia, and Karin decide to practice some Jazz dancing now. As the music begins to play, the girls discuss the multiple different types of Jazz dancing and singing there is. They mention that it is like Ballet, in the sense that it is important to lift the body up. As the girls do this, Rabi-chi, Bea-chi, and Neko-chi check their ranking to see that it has gone up a little. By the time they finish the girls have finished and they wave off the audience.

Facebook is one of the most popular websites in the world.
Founded in 2004, Facebook's mission is simple: Give people the power to share and make the world more open and connected. Users across the globe use Facebook to stay connected with friends and family, to discover what's going on in the world, and to share and express what matters to them.
One of the ways marketers can reach this mission is to use the News Feed and the algorithm that goes along with it. This algorithm is based on what Facebook thinks you'll likely to want to see.
According to Facebook, the algorithm is based on several factors:
How often you interact with the friend, page, or public figure (like an actor or journalist) who posted
The number of likes, shares and comments a post receives from the world at large and from your friends in particular
How much you have interacted with this type of post in the past
Whether or not you and other people across Facebook are hiding or reporting a given post
As you can see, News Feed's algorithm can be particularly beneficial for businesses looking to stand out from competitors. While it's constantly changing due to the nature of the user and the search itself, here a few things you should understand about Facebook's News Feed algorithm:
Text statuses matter
Facebook has uncovered some interesting facts about text status updates. According to Search Engine Watch, Facebook users saw more text only updates from friends in their feed, which made them more likely to share their own updates.
Because of this, Facebook has increased the number of text status updates that appear on a user's News Feed. Facebook claims that this change led to an average of nine million more status updates by Facebook users each day.
Keep this in mind, though: Facebook also noticed that business page text status updates did not have the same influence as text status updates from users.
Therefore, this means page owners may see a drop in the distribution of their own text status updates they share. While this may be solved with photo or video updates, it's in your best interest to see what types of posts garner the most engagement.
Old stories will resurface
Recently, Facebook announced an update to its News Feed algorithm. In essence, organic stories that people did not scroll down far enough to see will reappear near the top of News Feed IF the stories are garnering lots of likes and comments.
Facebook data indicates that this may improve the News Feed user experience. For instance:
In a test with a small number of users, this ranking change resulted in a five percent increase in the number of likes, comments and shares on the organic stories people saw from friends and an eight percent increase in likes, comments and shares on the organic stories they saw from pages
Previously, people read an average of 57 percent of the stories in their News Feeds. They did not scroll far enough to see the other 43 percent. When the unread stories were resurfaced, the fraction of stories read increased to 70 percent
For Page owners, this update means their most popular organic posts will likely have an increased shot at getting seen by more people, even if they're more than a few hours old (advertisers see no impact on paid content).
Links now appear with photos and snippets
One of most popular algorithm changes is the fact that page status updates which include a link within the update will now embed a photo, as well as a snippet from the page article into the post.
Facebook indicates that these types of updates receive more engagement, which includes likes, comments, shares, and clicks.
In addition, links that appear with photos and text snippets are more visually compelling than a text-only status update with a link or an image alone. This is a huge win for the business community since it allows you to combine real news with a visually appealing update.
While Facebook's News Feed algorithm may seem intimidating, understanding a few key features — as well as staying updated on the latest changes — will allow you to tailor your content and your presence more effectively.
Let me know how you use Facebook's News Feed algorithm in the comments below!

Concerns about Brexit, the future of the European Union and the Chinese economy keep investors flocking to the U.S. for stability, but high prices in core markets are causing foreign buyers to look for better returns elsewhere. Gateway cities such as New York, Los Angeles and Miami are becoming overheated, and investors have begun to look at other markets, like Denver, Phoenix and Nashville, as more viable options due to their healthy economies and the strength of the energy and manufacturing sectors, Business Insider reports. In addition to this, the cost of doing business is significantly cheaper in some of these markets.
During an interview with Bisnow in April, Madison Marquette Chief Operating Officer and Senior Managing Director of Investments Peter Jun said that while major urban gateway markets would continue to attract foreign investment, secondary markets with high-quality assets would also emerge as contenders for foreign investment capital.
Even with a shift to second- and third-tier markets, the investments are positive for the U.S.
Additional capital in local markets can create construction jobs, add new space for companies and free up capital for sellers of existing assets in order to allow them to put it into other investments. The downside is that it could lead to price inflation in markets that are currently affordable.

With the busyness of life, it's so easy to get wrapped up in what we are doing. And focusing on our problems. And the things that aren't going as well as we'd like.
You know.
Traffic. Money problems. That upsetting disagreement you had with your colleague. The roof leak that's causing internal damage to your house that you need to get fixed.
We all have them.
This is a post about perspective. And luck. And gratitude.
In this post, I share why, as the mother of a child with severe disabilities, I'm grateful for my body and my problems and my life. And why I hope you are too.
What happened this morning + what prompted this post
One of the mothers in the parents Facebook group for the genetic mutation (STXBP1) that my daughter Mylee has posted this graphic.
It shows the 'mutational spectrum' of the piece of genetic code of her DNA.
Basically, all the fucked up things that can go wrong with the minuscule (but critical) piece of genetic code.
In other words, the teeny, tiny issues with the teeny, tiny code that is responsible for all the profound issues our kiddies have.
The developmental issues, and the severe seizures that go with it.
It's so easy, with perfect DNA, to take things for granted
What hit me when I saw this was how, for most of us, while focusing on our busy lives, we soooo take for granted how EASY things are for us, with our near perfect DNA.
We can walk. Talk. Create things. Have jobs. Build careers. Have relationships. Marriages. Babies. Build lives.
But one tiny mutation, on one tiny (but critical) gene can seriously fuck up a child (who goes on to be an adult) and their potential to move and communicate and live without pain. Let alone create what they want in their lives.
It's random.
I love my daughter. More than words will ever be able to explain.
She's delightful. And I would not have her any other way. Except, God willing, to have her miraculously develop the ability to develop.
And to stop the god-awful seizures.
But that's not the point of this post.
The point is that the challenges she has, and that all the other kids we now see as a disabled family, have made me realise how fucking phenomenal my own body is.
You and I got lucky when the chromosomes we got from our parents connected. Our genetics, that tied up nicely upon conception, enabled us the potential to walk and talk and think and process and do and create more or less what we want with our lives.
The randomness of it got me this morning. And the realisation of how I take my natural ability to function for granted.
So today, I'm feeling grateful. And incredibly humbled by those who, through no fault of their own, live lives unfairly limited by the hand they got dealt.
Those people we see in the malls or on the streets in wheelchairs.
The ones who look different and who are clearly mentally impaired.
The ones that terrify us because we don't know what to do with it.
It's difficult being the parent of a child like that. Difficult because of grieving the child you thought you were having.
But it's equally difficult knowing that when they're little, they're cute.
And knowing they are going to grow up to be big disabled adults and confronting for people. Beautiful souls trapped in bodies that terrify people.
What I wished people knew
Somebody said to me when Mylee was young that it must have been hard dealing with questions of 'why me?'
I never thought 'why me?'
I thought 'why?' but it never felt personal.
What was hard – and what made me angry – was sitting in the children's hospital neurology ward like a zombie, reading Facebook posts to try to distract myself from the terror and the pain I was going through watching mine and my daughter's and family's life change forever – and reading people's innocently-posted complaints about bullshit things like sitting in traffic.
And how their curtains they were getting made got made 1cm too short, and they'd have to wait another six weeks for them to be delivered.
Of course people are free to get mad about whatever frustrates them. But while they're spending their time and energy on complaints about stuff like that, they're missing their lives.
They're missing how easy they have it, compared to those who are trapped in bodies that don't work.
They're missing how healthy they are.
And how easy they can make and execute choices for what they want for their lives.
What parents of kids with severe disabilities want
I didn't want – and I don't want people to feel sorry for me. Or for Mylee.
Pity doesn't help anyone.
But what I did want (and what I do want) is for people to appreciate their lives.
I sure as heck appreciate my life and the luck I got dealt with my genetics.
And I'm grateful for the soul I got delivered that has taught me so much about living.
I hope you appreciate the luck you got dealt too.
….If only for a moment, until you get on with your busy life and creating what matters to you, which you absolutely should do, while forgetting all the people who don't have that luxury.
People with severe disabilities are unsung superheroes of our world.
If only we had the opportunity to access them and their beautiful souls more often.
Big love to you, and your amazing body.
