UNIQUE: Escape to a converted gas holder this August when Flow Festival returns to the Baltic Sea
SYNONYMOUS WITH bringing music from old school legends to topical newcomers, Flow Festival returns to Helsinki from August 10-12. The festival offers a warm embrace of the arts and an exceptional array of world spanning cuisine – and is just a short walk away from the centre of Helsinki, making it one of the world's most unique events.
Held in a disused power station built at the turn of the century, this monumental architectural site Is brought to life with lighting, decorations and, of course, incredible music. Gracing the stages at the event will be, among others, rapper Kendrick Lamar, one of the rare artists who has achieved critical and commercial success while earning the respect and support of those
who inspired him.
His fourth album, 'DAMN' was the third most streamed album in 2017 on Spotify and earned the man several Grammy nominations – as well as a spot on the list of most frequently requested artists for Flow. Poet, singer and songwriter Patti Smith, who earned her stature as an iconic and faultlessly honest artist decades ago, is also lined up to appear.
Grizzly Bear, one of the foremost indie bands of the 2000s, will make their Finnish debut and perform songs from their latest album 'Painted Ruins', which came out in August. Flow Festival will also host one of today's most respected and popular electronic musicians Bonobo and 21-yearold DJ, producer and multi-instrumentalist Mura Masa. Both are trailblazers of the dawning post-EDM era and have been nominated for a Grammy Award for the best dance/electronic album.
Also playing at the festival is one of today's most wanted DJs and current holder of the number one spot of Crack Magazine's list of the most exciting
DJs, Helena Hauff, as well as the ultimate house/techno straight shooter and legend Moodymann. One of the year's most exciting new acts is Brockhampton, a unique, high-quality, conscious 15-person rap collective that originally came together on a web forum.
Modern Norwegian sounds are represented by promising pop star Sigrid, a newcomer from just last year who recently won BBC's Sound of 2018. One of her fellow contestants Alma, with her gorgeous voice, perceptive lyrics and yellow hair, will make Flow one of her few gigs in Finland this summer.
Both Sigrid and Alma will release their debut albums before the festival.

Just recently, with so few jailbreaks to use, a spate of app installers has been released, all vying to be the Cydia alternative that we all turn to. With just Yalu jailbreak released for iOS 10 and no iOS 11 jailbreak in the pipeline right now, millions of users are left with no access to Cydia. Yalu jailbreak is a limited utility that only works on 64 bit iPhones, requires Cydia Impactor for installation and is a semi-untethered jailbreak. this is where the app installers come in and we've quite a few to choose from, including AppValley [ext link], TutuApp, Emus4U, and TweakBox. However, with all these app installers and with Yalu jailbreak installed through Cydia Impactor, there is one big problem , the app installers and anything you install through them will crash on a very regular basis.
Image : Anti Revoke App
This is because of Apple. You see, none of these app installers are available in the iOS app store and that means that Apple does not sign the certificates that allow them to run. And that, in turn, means that they do not consider them to be valid apps. You need to use your Apple ID to install these and that way Apple can track what you have on your device. Apple regularly revokes app certificates that they do not sign and this is why your installers will crash. When you reinstall it and start again, Apple will revoke it and they will continue to do so. This also happens if you install one of your favorite modified apps, such as Snapchat++ [ext link] and Spotify++ and there is only one way to stop it; install Anti Revoke.
What is Anti Revoke ?
Anti Revoke [ext link] is a brand-new tool that works to protect the app certificates for the installers you choose to use. It does this by installing a VPN configuration onto your iPhone or iPad, which you must give permission for during the installation process. Once it is installed it will start to work quietly in the background of your device, not interfering with anything, to protect your app certificate so that, when Apple comes about to verify them, they will not be able to and will not be able to revoke the certificates. That means you can continue to use your app installers without worrying about them crashing.
One word of note, if you are using TutuApp Installer, you cannot use Anti Revoke; instead you must use NessTool which is a similar tool but only works on TutuApp.

A survey conducted by researchers from Duke University and the University of Chicago found that Chicago criminals obtained their firearms almost exclusively from friends and family.
Wait. I thought they got them all through the "gun show loophole"? Or that they got them through proper legal commerce (including 4473 form and background check) down at the sporting goods store.
The study found that due to fears of encountering undercover police officers attempting sting operations, a large majority of the criminals surveyed would only make illegal gun purchases from people they knew. "In discussing the underground gun market in their neighborhoods, most respondents emphasized the importance of connections—prior relationships that could create sufficient trust to reassure the seller that the transaction would not create an unacceptable legal risk," the survey says. "A majority of the primary guns (40 of the 48 for which we have detailed information on the source) were obtained from family, fellow gang members, or other social connections; the fraction is still higher for secondary guns."
Wait. This goes against everything I've been told about how criminals acquire guns.
But surely then they must be acquiring "assault weapons".
The survey also found that criminals preferred handguns by a wide margin.
Um…. but….
Well, this has to be somewhere like Texas.
Chicago criminals are finicky about how they get their guns, according to a new study by the University of Chicago Crime Lab.
But Chicago has some of the toughest gun control legislation. Are you saying criminals don't obey the law?
Well, it doesn't matter. We still need to make things more illegaller, because (somehow) that will stop criminals from getting guns.
"Some of the pathways people are concerned about don't seem so dominant," [Harold Pollack, co-director of University of Chicago Crime Lab] said.
But… but…
Look folks, most any reasonable person in our society wants to see reduction in (negative) violence. What some of us have a problem with is the means by which to achieve that end. When you work to make legal pathways for obtaining guns more difficult to traverse, you are only harming law-abiding citizens – you are NOT preventing criminals from obtaining guns, you are not stopping criminals from partaking in illegal and/or violent activity.
The only people you are harming are good people.
Why are you doing that?
Either you don't know any better and haven't truly considered the consequences of your action, or your blindly following irrational thoughts or emotions… or harming good people is precisely what you want to do. And that, good people will not stand for.
But I prefer to think most of my fellow citizens are also good people. So folks, consider the hard data these researchers are providing. "Illegal guns" don't come from where you think, and trotting out the same tired and failed "solutions" to "the problems of illegal guns, and 'gun violence'" just doesn't hold in the face of such evidence. Let's use facts and data to help us find real solutions, shall we?
(first article, second article)
Updated 2015-09-05 – Here's a link to the University of Chicago Crime Lab's press release about the article. And here's a link to the full paper.

Saint Thomas Sunday: Antipascha
Every day during the week of Easter, called Bright Week by the Church, the paschal services are celebrated in all their splendor. The Easter baptismal procession is repeated daily. The royal gates of the sanctuary remain open. The joy of the Resurrection and the gift of the Kingdom of eternal life continue to abound. Then, at the end of the week, on Saturday evening, the second Sunday after Easter is celebrated in remembrance of the appearance of Christ to the Apostle Thomas "after eight days" (John 20.26).
It is important to note that the number eight has symbolical significance in both Jewish and Christian spiritual tradition. It signifies more than completion and fullness; it signifies the Kingdom of God and the life of the world to come since seven is the number of earthly time. The sabbath, the seventh day, is the blessed day of rest in this world, the final day of the week. The "first day of the week," the day "after Sabbath"; stressed in all of the gospels as the day of Christ's Resurrection (Mk 16.1, Mt 28.1, Lk 24.1, Jn 20.1,19), is therefore also "the eighth day," the day beyond the confines of this world, the day which stands for the life of the world to come, the day of the eternal rest of the Kingdom of God (see Hebrews 4).
The Sunday after Easter, called the Second Sunday, is thus the eighth day of the paschal celebration, the last day of Bright Week. It is therefore called the Antipascha, and it was only on this day in the early church that the newly-baptized Christians removed their robes and entered once again into the life of this world.
In the Church services the stress is on the Apostle Thomas' vision of Christ and the significance of the day comes to us in the words of the gospel:
Then He said to Thomas, "Put your finger here, and see My hands; and put out your hand, and place it in My side; do not be faithless, but believing." Thomas answered Him, "My Lord and my God!" Jesus said to him, "Have you believed because you have seen Me? Blessed are those who have not seen and yet believe" (John 20.27–29).
We have not seen Christ with our physical eyes nor touched His risen body with our physical hands, yet in the Holy Spirit we have seen and touched and tasted the Word of Life (1 John 1.1–4), and so we believe.

At Christmas I got far more creative with my lack of money in getting gifts for my mum, for her birthday I kept very simple and decided on a book –
Shit me that's a big picture, didn't think it'd come out that big. Anyway, over the last couple of months our relationship has improved immeasurably and we're both set on moving forward with our lives. My mum suffers from ME, something incredibly frustrating when you consider in the past she was exceptionally active, owned her own business etc.
One of the things I've been working on at my work program as I've mentioned is positive thinking and we both quite like books such as this that are in that sort of ballpark. The back has a recommendation from Susan Cain, whose book Quiet I reviewed here. Anyway, she liked it.
My mum is an excellent cook and settled on a English tea theme for the meal. Well actually, she cooked a main meal of lamb curry too. And before anyone says anything she prefers to do the cooking herself and no that isn't a critique on my cooking skills per se, just that there are levels, she's Premier League, I'm Championship. And I washed up.

Review Details
GIA by Rene of Paris
- Product Review (submitted on September 9, 2014):
- This is a statement wig. It has lots of volume, which is great for me, and is easy to style with just fingers or can be smoothed out with a wig brush or wide tooth comb. I trimmed the bangs to suit me; this is a comfortable wig and looks smashing on.

- B.A., Sociology, Johns Hopkins University, 2003
Much of Jacob Hibel's current research focuses on large-scale immigration's consequences for children, schools, and communities. He is particularly interested in community-level effects: the consequences of living and attending school in an immigrant-rich community versus one with lower historical immigration levels. Specific projects in this thread include examinations of cross-community discrepancies in immigrant children's disability identification, neighborhood influences on Mexican American immigrant children's academic achievement, and historical trends in migration, segregation and public school funding in the U.S. With support from the William T. Grant Foundation, Professor Hibel is conducting a series of studies examining cross-community variation in the formation and implementation of policies designed to increase access to special education, English acquisition and gifted/talented education services among children of immigrants.
Research Focus
- Sociology of Education: schooling and stratification; early childhood achievement gaps; disability and special education disparities; links between schooling and demographic change
- Migration: stratification among children of immigrants; impacts of international and domestic migration on educational policy and practice

Going digital and finding audiences
Since the Ottawa International Animation Festival first launched 30 years ago, the North American animation industry has shifted gears from producing for TV and film to creating customizable content for many screens, including broadband, iPods and mobile phones. And the 2006 OIAF looks to guide the delegates through this new media landscape.
Since the Ottawa International Animation Festival first launched 30 years ago, the North American animation industry has shifted gears from producing for TV and film to creating customizable content for many screens, including broadband, iPods and mobile phones. And the 2006 OIAF looks to guide the delegates through this new media landscape.
Even though upwards of 20,000 people are expected to attend the public festival, Sept. 20-24, the third annual Television Animation Conference (Sept. 20 and 21) is reserved for industry players to share experiences and review trends.
'Since it was launched… we've tried to keep it a fairly intimate affair so that everyone can hang out at a friendly, comfortable event, and that's the tone of the whole festival,' says OIAF director Maral Mohammadian.
As in previous years, TAC's 200 spots sold out early, so to accommodate more attendees this year, the event moved to a slightly larger venue at the Chateau Laurier, where Mohammadian anticipates about 250 industry types will take part in the panels and discussions.
OIAF newcomer Michael Ouweleen, senior VP of programming and development at Cartoon Network U.S., will kick off the conference with a keynote address in which he hopes to give positive reinforcement about digital rights. He didn't want to reveal too much about his speech, but he'll touch on industry-wide concerns that the new multi-screen environment will fragment TV audiences beyond anything measurable.
He says more competition from broadband and wireless programming can actually raise TV's game, and relates what's happening now to when cable networks originally began proliferating the airwaves.
'This is a huge opportunity for many voices and for things to be more experimental. Just look at television in the States now: there are so many great, inventive television shows because the marketplace is growing,' he says.
'Who in their right mind would have broadcast something as crazy as Harvey Birdman had there not been 60 niche broadcasters?' he adds, referring to the series he exec produces, about a long-forgotten superhero's second career as a lawyer. A recent episode of Harvey Birdman: Attorney at Law will play in competition at OIAF.
There's also the panel Cartoons on the Go: Tomorrow's Media Landscape. Speakers include Ryosuke Aoike, executive producer at New York's Frederator; Steve Billinger, SVP at Cookie Jar Entertainment; and Fred Siebert – the man behind the preschool Nick Jr. series and podcast Wow! Wow! Wubbzy!.
Since the kids demographic is increasingly distracted from television by mobile phones, broadband and video games, producers are looking to be wherever kids are to keep their product relevant.
'In the past, producers only worried about who was watching our programs,' Billinger says. 'With mobile, we need to be concerned with where they're watching and what else they might be doing.' The panel will explore emerging digital technologies and how the industry can work with a fragmenting and changing audience demographic.
TAC's remaining panels will look at emerging toon trends, such the animation-loving adult demo in Not Just for Kids, featuring Linda Simensky, senior director of children's programming at PBS; Bardel Entertainment president Barry Ward; and Caroline Tyre, acquisitions manager at Teletoon. A case study by Nelvana on its developing Ruby Gloom series will explore how an alternative T-shirt design for tweens and teens evolved into a cartoon.
Roundtable discussions about the costs of creating in HD, and the business model for producing animated features, are also in the offing. The Fast Track session returns this year, with scheduled 'speed-dating style' nine-minute meetings with top broadcasters and producers.
Issues currently facing Canadian production will also be addressed in a panel called The Future of Commercial Canadian Animation. Executives will square off to analyze the future of this country's toon industry. Scott Dyer, executive VP of production and development at Nelvana, joins Ed, Edd, 'n' Eddy creator Danny Antonucci from a.k.a. Cartoon; Madeleine Lévesque, Teletoon's director of original production; and Bonita Siegel, director of development and production at Corus Entertainment. The panel will be assessing Canadian animation's ability to compete on the world stage if tax credits or required conditions of licence spent by the broadcasters were to disappear.
The conference's country spotlight this year is Brazil. The Latin American industry has been ramping up its toon output recently, mainly doing short-form advertising and service work for Walt Disney, MTV Brazil and its regional Cartoon Network. A delegation of about 20 toon makers will be heading to Ottawa for the event to discuss future creative and financial collaborations.
A panel on coproducing will feature speakers such as Beth Carmona, president of TVE Brasil; Patricia Burns, VP of international production at Nelvana; and Celia Catunda, partner at TV PinGuim, who will discuss how the budding territory can learn from Canadian producers to create long-form series.
Mohammadian says highlighting Brazil was initially sparked a couple of years ago when a TAC attendee from Rio de Janeiro's 2Dlab struck up a conversation with an exec from Montreal producer GalaKids at one of the conference's social events. Today, these two companies will be speakers at the copro panel and are in the early stages of development on a new, as-yet-unnamed series.

Need for Speed Carbon
Xbox 360
Review by Matt Paprocki
Graphics: 9
Sound: 8
Gameplay: 8
Overall: 8
|For releasing just a year after Need for Speed
Most Wanted, the changes to Carbon are incredible. Re-used assets are
apparent, but the developers have found a way to craft a brand new gameplay experience. In
today's gaming climate, that's a stunning achievement.
That doesn't necessarily add up to a great title. However, in the case of Need for Speed Carbon, it can easily buck that trend. This is a consistent franchise, and new features always add up to another fun drive.
The first change is team based racing. At first, the mechanic falls flat. It seems out of place and somewhat pointless. For some, especially those adept at memorizing track designs, they might be for the entire game. For others, the ability to call in a team member and have them block an opposing racer in the lead to give you the advantage will prove invaluable. Other crew members can lower the bill when buying new parts or set up a draft to open up a brief speed boost.
In an odd design call, finishing first isn't always necessary. Should your chosen team member cross the line in the top spot, you still gain all the winnings. This immediately leads to a sense of easier play, an arguable improvement given how brutal Most Wanted would turn out in its final stretch.
Police chases return, as do the franchises basic race types. Two new styles are now available, one which is a success, and second that should forever be forgotten. Canyon racing is not the latter, creating an intense sense of speed and danger. One misstep could send your vehicle over the edge of a cliff ending the race immediately. To add an extra layer, you'll need to stick close to your opponent, or risk running out of time.
The second new addition is drift racing, featuring completely different mechanics from the standard driving. The controls take a turn for the worse, making it impossible to avoid an over steer. It's of course manageable with extended practice, but if you're in a situation where one of these is a requirement to advance, that easier difficulty rapidly fades.
Carbon still features a free-ride map, along with a GPS system that allows for immediate set up of races and challenges in your quest to gain territory from rival gangs of street racers. The series drops its dreary, muted tones for a brightly lit and heavily detailed environment. All tracks take place at night, which is slightly tiring and too close to the previous Underground edition of the series.
That's not the only recycled content. The video style is familiar on purpose to help the game mesh with Most Wanted as this is a direct sequel. Time constraints are apparent with recycled music, voice work, and an exact copy of the menu interface. Thankfully, the work went into keeping the gameplay fresh is appreciated.
Most Wanted completely fell apart online, and two new modes of play give Carbon the spark its predecessor needed. In one, the last place car at the end of a lap is turned into a cop and is tasked with taking down other racers to earn points. The second makes all cars but one police. That singled out car must avoid everyone. Once tagged, the cop car making the move becomes the racer. This is the type of online play that can breathe new life into the series when the career mode sputters out in drift racing.
With extensive customization (including an expansive ability to modify every part via sliders), Carbon is an arcade racer that nicely slides into become a game for car nuts and fans of pure racing. It had potential to break out into something completely fresh, but given the time frame, Carbon is a success worthy of the Need for Speed name.

EFES, or Ephesus, is the best preserved classical city in the mediterranean and one of the most visited sights in Turkey. In its heyday Ephes was the capital of the Roman province of Asia with a population of over 250,000. The goddess Artemis was worshipped here and a huge temple was built in her honor. The Library of Celsus (a Roman governor) held 12,000 scrolls and was the third largest library in the ancient world after Alexandria and Pergamum. The library was built to look larger than it was by making the facade convex and making the middle column larger than those at the ends. Cool.
Nike, goddess of Victory. See the swoosh left center.
Library facade.
I love this archiecture.
The social spot in the city, where you'd come to shoot the shit with friends.

Can Dancing Help Prevent Falls?
Everyone knows that not only is dancing fun, it is also great exercise. But researchers are finding more and more benefits to moving to the music. A recent study found that people who exercise to music were much less likely to fall and had a more secure gait and balance. And since over 1/3 of people 65 fall every year, preventing falls is a major concern. So the next time you break out your dancing shoes, remember that it is good for more than bringing a smile to your face! Here is an article from Yahoo! News about the results of the moving to music study.
Practicing Moving to Music May Help Elderly Avoid Falls
TUESDAY, Nov. 23 (HealthDay News) — Exercising to music reduces the risk of falls among elderly people, researchers have found.
The study included 134 Swiss adults, mostly women, average age 75.5 years, who were at increased risk of falling. They were assigned to either an intervention group that did a music-based multitask exercise program or a control group that did normal exercises. After the first six months, the participants switched groups for the next six months.
The intervention program used an instructor-led one-hour weekly exercise program that featured multitask activities, including movements that were designed to challenge balance and become increasingly difficult over time. These exercises included walking in time to piano music and responding to changes in the music's rhythm.
People in the intervention program showed greater improvement in balance and had 24 falls (a rate of 0.7 falls per person per year), compared with 54 falls in the control program (a rate of 1.6 falls per person per year), the investigators found.
The intervention program increased participants' walking speed and stride length while performing one task at a time, and increased their stride length and decreased their stride length variability while performing multiple tasks at the same time.
This improvement in gait (manner or style of walking) and balance helped reduce the risk of falls, the researchers explained.
"Our findings suggest that this program may be useful for fall prevention and rehabilitation in community-based settings such as senior centers," Dr. Andrea Trombetti, of University Hospitals and Faculty of Medicine of Geneva, and colleagues wrote in their report, which was released online Nov. 22 in the journal Archives of Internal Medicine before publication in an upcoming print issue of the journal.
The same journal issue also includes the results of an Australian study that found that a personalized multimedia education program does not appear to reduce the risk of falls among older hospital patients.
The program, which included written materials, videos and one-on-one follow-up with a trained professional, offered information about the frequency and causes of falls. It also encouraged patients to think about their own fall risks, identify problem areas, and develop fall prevention goals and strategies.
But the researchers didn't find much difference in the rate of falls between the intervention group and a control group — 7.6 versus 9.3 falls per 1,000 days per patient.

I think we can say Summer is officially gone, over and done with. We had rain today...

What a sweet gift from a dear friend! Your nails can hold on to summer as long as they want...because these are gorgeous! :DReplyDelete
That seahorse ♥ so adorable! Even though I'll miss those long Summer nights, I actually feel quite happy with the cooler temperatures.ReplyDelete

It's look so chic and cool but any disadvantages about the phone?? I find the screen abit too small should have make us of the space around the screen.. Btw how much does it cost??
Read the print ad. Impressed that despite its plain understated appearance, it's able to have memory slot (MiniSD), 1.3 mp camers, 262 tft screen and best thing is able to play mp3 music as background! So far no samsung and LG phones have been able to do that until this model!!! What's more it comes in pink and metalic blue - obviously targetting at the women. Very chic and I can forgo it for not having an FM radio tuner so long as the price is attractive enough for me to get it as a backup phone.
This phone is boring...
I have a samsung E720 and it has all the same features...I though they were ment to be bringin out better phones not the same old plain ones.....
I've got it sitting next to me as I type this. (I work at a phone shop)
Thans Kal for ur help i look for a phone which its botton are big and its easy to dail and has diferent colors which help people to chose in wide range and i guss in samsung phones can inistal answering machine but have no idea about this one and has voice dailer and can make so easy for her if you havebetter choice i woild be thankful to know and one thing more do u have price idea? coz it will be available in IRAN 2 months later. thans again
This phone is due for release via O2 on 12 June 2006. This is, of course, dependant on whether the phone stock are deleivered in time for the release date and whether the date gets put back. Does anybody know whether this phone has Alarm Clock and Calender features and the like ???
its released in june 06' so it says on the o2 website on the coming soon link
can ne-one who can tell me when is tis phone gonna be release out!!!!!!!!! sooooooo very sick of waiting n waiting. i tho it was suppose to be release out in first quarter then sec quarter which is now but still no sign or news bout it yet!!!!!!
Well "Meghmik" in my opinion..the amount of money you will be paying for all those MicroSD card slot/ 1.3mp camera, EDGE etc..quite honestly won't mean anything to an aged woman. If you get this phone for less then its worth going for. It looks great, comes in different colors and it has big buttons as well.
Hi every1, I'd like to know is it suitable present 4 a woman aged 55??? Do u know is it available in IRAN, Does it easy dailing and answering, how about the battery how long does it work? and the talk time hours? whould u please help me?
Wow this is a really great looking phone. Its nice to see a somewhat different looking design from the tipical razr knock-offs
More pics at.
e870 will be released in 6 different colors.
Mac White
Mirror Silver
Ice Blue
Valentine Pink
Champaign Gold
Platinum Red
Check it out.
i think the silver is ugly. because the phones is mostly white, they were stupid not to make the outside shell white. i think they also should make the memory larger, and the camera better.
--yours truly a phone user
from what i see on the other web, like mobileburn, it is actually white in colour

Marie didn?t inherit her mom Daryl?s huge clit, but don?t worry, she got her grandma?s perky tits and tight snatch!

Dalai Lama vows to devolve power
Mar 18, 2011 No Commenti
DHARAMSALA, India – The Dalai Lama said on Thursday that his leadership was as outdated as a monarchy and insisted he would relinquish a four-century old tradition of power despite opposition from within the Tibetan government-in-exile.
The Dalai Lama last week announced he would step down as Tibet's political leader to empower an elected prime minister, a move seen transforming the government-in-exile into a more assertive body in the face of Chinese pressure.
But many exiled Tibetan leaders have opposed his devolving of power, fearful the movement could wane without the influence of a global celebrity adored by Hollywood stars and the 6 million Tibetans who worship him as a reincarnated leader…

Alton's Kirsten Funk proved to be the difference-maker Friday in the finals of the Redbirds' tournament at Moore Park.
She scored with 2 minutes, 21 seconds remaining to give the Birds a 1-0 win over crosstown rival Marquette Catholic. The Explorers, the Redbirds and Waterloo's Bulldogs all ended 2-1 in the tourney, but Marquette finished first via a goal differential tie-breaker. Orchard Farm went 0-3, including a 7-0 loss to Waterloo on Friday.
"For the kids, the most important thing was getting a win," first-year AHS coach Laura Ridolfi said. "It was a credit to them. At the end of the day, I really don't care that much about (winning) the tournament."
Marquette coach Steve Mitchell said, "We couldn't put the ball in the net, even though we controlled the play 90 percent of the time."
The Redbirds and Explorers fought to a scoreless tie earlier this month, so Marquette hasn't scored in 80 minutes against Alton.
Sydney Mossman assisted on Funk's goal and keeper Brittany Storey logged a shutout. She made nine saves. Marquette goalie Abby Porter had four stops.
Prep Softball
Alton 8, CM 1 - One day after absorbing an 18-run defeat, the Redbirds regained their winning ways. They zipped by the Eagles in a nonconference game at AHS. The winners improved to 11-7. CM is 3-13 and has lost 11 of its last 12 contests.
"A game like Thursday was frustrating because we laid a goose egg," Alton coach Dan Carter said. "So it was good to come back the next day and get a win."
Haley Longo and Morgan Tipsword had two hits each to back the Redbirds. Tipsword was 2-for-2 with a double and reached base three times. Longo, who has 28 hits in 55 at-bats thus far this season, was 2-for-3 with a run batted in and got on base four times.
"We came out focused today, played hard and did a lot of good things" Longo said Friday. "We were hitting the ball and got good pitching."
Jordyn Roady worked the first four innings to get the win. Morgan Butler then retired nine consecutive batters to put the finishing touches on the win.
"Morgan looked sharp today and Haley has been hitting extremely well for us," Carter said.
Maddy Hall doubled and scored on Jaylyn Lowrance's double in the first inning for CM. The Eagles had three hits in the opening inning, then just one the rest of the way.
"We had a good start and some chances after that, but we didn't get the job done," Eagles' coach Mike Eddy said. "We have to find a way to get a win and figure it out. We need to stop the bleeding."
EA-WR 2, Carlinville 1 – Toria Beachum twirled a three-hitter and struck out 14 as the host Oilers shaded the Cavaliers in a nonconference game.
Kaliegh Young had two hits for East Alton-Wood River, while Beachum supplied an RBI. A two-run first inning was all the Oilers needed. The Cavaliers scored in the sixth.
Gillespie 8, Roxana 4 – The Miners prevailed at Roxana in South Central Conference play. Roxana led 4-3 after two innings, but didn't score after that. The Miners used a three-run sixth to seal their victory. They had a dozen hits in all.
Cindy Scroggins and Abby Palen both had two hits for the Shells. Ellen Gray was 3-for-4 to lead Gillespie.
Southwestern 13, North Mac 2 – Hannah Wilfong and Lindsey Synder both had three hits in the Piasa Birds' nonconference victory. Snyder was 3-for-3, including a home run, as Southwestern shot to 7-9.
Teammates Katie Wooldridge and Mallory Novack each had two hits to support winning pitcher Baliee Stahl. Wooldridge belted a home run.
Prep Baseball
Marquette 12, Nokomis 2 - The Explorers built a 7-0 lead by the third inning and logged a lopsided Prairie State win at Moore Park. Marquette exploded for 15 hits in the five-inning affair. The Explorers' four-run fifth finished it.
Geoffrey Ferguson and John Hughes both had three hits to lead Marquette. Ferguson knocked in three runs and Hughes had two more. Hughes was the winning pitcher.
Highland 7, Alton 4 – Highland scored three times in the seventh inning for a nonconference win over the Redbirds at Moore Park. Both teams had six hits, but the Birds made eight errors.Steve Nguyen collected three hits for the Redbirds, as did Joe Duncan for the Bulldogs. Aaron Bonnell of AHS had two hits and a pair of RBIs.
Southwestern 14, North Mac 9 -- Brendan Schiller, Blake Lawson, Eric Beyer, Cody Roberts, Andrew Fry, and Zack Seymour all had two hits in the Piasa Birds nonconference win.Lawson had three RBIs and Schiller added two more.
Southwestern, 12-7, is scheduled to welcome Alton in a Saturday doubleheader at Schneider Park.
Prep Track
Jersey wins meet -- The Panthers scored 104 points to finish first in the five-team Carlinville Boys Relays. Pana (100 points), Hillsboro (93), Staunton (92) and the host Cavaliers (72) completed the team scoring.
Jersey won the distance medley, the low hurdle shuttle, the frosh-soph 4x400-meter relay and the frosh-soph sprint medley. Mitch Goetten, Marcus Lumma, Jesse Baalman and Nick Reynolds were double winners.


text: So I've been watching some political documentaries about central banking and have discovered the TRUE rulers of the world are the owners of these banks. What's happening, for those of you unaware, is that every dollar printed is LENT to the government requesting it at INTEREST. This means that every dollar is created out of debt. Now the only way to pay off this debt is to make more money but this in turn creates even more debt. The real problem though, if that isn't bad enough, is that because of this system of debt even if every dollar was rounded up and given back to the banks there would still be more debt then there was money. Now then getting to the point, if there is no way to ever repay this debt how can we ever stop using currency? Would it be possible to simply discard the monetary system altogether? and what kind of horrible fallout will this end up causing from the central banks? Edit: Probably should have put this in Economics, my bad - It's been too long since I posted!

Performing a Normal (Soft) Reset on a Samsung ATIV Odyssey
A normal reset is sometimes called a soft reset. A normal reset stops all running applications but does not erase any programs or saved data.
Caution be sure to save any unsaved data before performing a normal reset since a normal reset erases all unsaved data.
To restart your device:
- Press and hold the Power Key for 11-13 seconds.
- The device will power off.
- Turn the phone back on to complete the soft reset.
Performing a Full (Hard) Reset on a Samsung ATIV Odyssey
A full reset is sometimes called a hard reset. Perform a full reset when you want to clear all settings, programs and data from RAM (Random Access Memory).

I know that I am far from even considering this – and even if I do get my novel published it is most likely that I will have NO say in the cover art – but I wanted to share the artist that I feel embodies the look I would like to put with my own work. You may recognize her syle as she is the artist who is responsible for the images in the opening to the show Ghost Whisperer.Her name is Maggie Taylor and these are her images and I LOVE THEM.

I think every writer does this! It always makes me wish I had any talent when it came to drawing.
Love the art. I hope you can add more to the blog with moving parts!

Mind Over Body
Please take a look at Jo Marchant's Cure: A Journey into the Science of Mind over Body. There are many wonderful chapters on the power of the mind that can benefit everyone. Did you know that hypnosis is the only effective treatment for IBS? Did you know that even if someone is told that they are taking a placebo pill, it still works? If you are given a placebo painkiller that looks identical, at least 95% of people have a positive response. Hypnosis for pain relief influences the area of the brain involved in pain perception. It creates a real effect. I'll let you read the rest.
Mindfulness Benefits
Research continues to find benefits for mindfulness based meditation and these can not be ignored. Mindfulness is associated with positive emotion, improved resilience to stress, increased immune functioning, improved cognitive performance and overall reduction in anxiety, depression and improved longevity. How can you ignore the benefits? The amount of time required for benefit seems minimal compared to the amount of time we might spend texting/e-mailing or watching television/movies. Positive results are found for even 20 minutes a day for 10 weeks with improvement being maintained after this for months. Take a look at material available from Jon Kabat-Zinn who has one version of mindfulness called Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction and look into the research of Richard Davidson Ph.D. Invest in your health and it is fun as well.

Cory & Mike's Fulton's On The River Wedding/
These California love-birds, Cory & Mike, could not have been more relaxed, carefree, and loving. Their wedding at Fulton's on the River (now River Roast) gave them the urban styled wedding they were looking for. Cory wanted candles, candles, and more candles -- which Larkspur sure delivered! Michigan-photographer, Summer Jean Photography, traveled to Chicago to capture some truly special moments. And let me say, it was such an emotionally filled day, that even the Fulton's staff were wiping away tears...
Can we just take a moment to admire Cory's beaded dress? Oh, BHLDN....
The bridesmaids were all in sequins and glitter. They are fantastic hanging...but wait till you see them on!
Summer Jean Photography captured their First Look on the Riverwalk outside of Westin River North.
Cory & Mike wanted to take their photos at locations that said "Chicago!" I can't think of two better places than the Lakefront and "The Bean!"
We are CRAZY for these mixed-metallic bridesmaids dresses!!
Cory made such a stunning bride with her hair and make-up by Sara and Ashley of Sonia Roselli....
...and Mike was so dapper in his checkered suit!
For the ceremony, Larkspur adorned the entire room in candles. Down the aisle, along the windows...
Cory & Mike presented each other with a single red rose. For the past three years, Mike always made sure Cory had fresh red roses on her dresser (I know, how sweet?!) They wanted to make sure that this special tradition was a part of their day.
Larkspur did an amaaazing job creating the perfect centerpiece collection. The mercury glass enhanced the urban look of the room - with a pop of floral on each table.
The most magical part of the reception? The industrial lights strung over the dance floor and down the cement columns. Normally, they are not there...we think they should be all the time ;).
Every toast that evening was filled with tears of joy and happiness. Cory's sister, accompanied by her boyfriend on the ukulele, wrote an original song about her sister and new brother-in-law that was full of wit and memories. Everyone, myself included, was feeling that lump in their throat and a Fulton's staff member was letting the tears flow. By far one of the most beautiful 'speeches' I've heard!
Cory surprised Mike with a Homer Simpson Donut groom's cake.....Mike's face was priceless. Do you see that boyish grin?!
Cory & Mike ended their night with Garrett's popcorn favors, a 'cigar lounge' on the veranda, and lots of dancing!
Thank you, Cory & Mike, for being such an adorable and easy going couple to work with :)

The History And Tradition Of Recreation
Editor's Note: This column, "LBWA" (Leadership By Wandering Around), is based on the premise that, in order to find out what's going on in the field, a parks and rec leader has to leave his or her desk and "wander around" the area of operations, talk to people, ask questions, and kick around ideas with the individuals in the thick of delivering services to the public. So the author will bring up issues and ask the leaders among the readership to share their knowledge and experiences.
Recently, I had an interesting call from a man who had read one of the "LBWA" articles and wanted to offer his accolades and some suggestions. Our conversation made me realize how important it is to understand the history and development of parks and recreation.
I could tell right away John H. Davis was a man I would enjoy talking with. He was articulate and full of energy, and I could tell by the inflection in his voice that he loved talking about recreation.
He spoke of his days as a young recreation coordinator, living in the very space he programmed. He remarked about his entry into the field and mentioned that he was involved with the NRPA in the early days of its formation.
We had a great conversation, and I asked him to write me a letter or e-mail, giving some of his thoughts that I could use in a future column.
Meeting Mr. Recreation
After the phone call, I asked our Recreation Administrator, Sherry, if she had ever heard of John Davis. Sherry graduated from Georgia Southern with a recreation degree, and has worked in the field all her life.
When I said his name, her jaw dropped and she blurted, "John Davis? Well, yeah!" She became a bit pale and somewhat weak-kneed then gasped, "He's an icon in the recreation field! He was one of the guys they quoted in school. He is like Mr. Recreation. You were talking to him?!"
Understand, I am a transplant to this field, coming from the Marine Corps, where our idea of recreation was very different and normally involved at least a 50-50 chance of death or dismemberment. Sherry eats, sleeps, and dreams contemporary recreation, so I could tell she was a little jealous.
After she went on about Mr. Davis for a while, I felt special that he had taken the time to even pick up the phone and call me. I Googled him, and found that Sherry's awe was well-deserved. Below is a short bio I discovered on the Web site of the American Academy for Parks and Recreation Administration, where he is listed as a "Legend of Parks and Recreation":
"John H. Davis started his parks and recreation career in the city of Darlington, S.C., in 1954 where he served as director of parks and recreation for two and one half years. After receiving a master's degree from Columbia University in New York in 1957, he became the director of parks and recreation in Dalton, Ga. He served there for six and one half years. In 1963, he was chosen to head up a new state agency, The Georgia Recreation Commission. During his 10-year tenure, 40 new parks and recreation systems were established in local governments with advisory assistance and guidance from Mr. Davis and his small staff. He served as associate director and director of the Northern Virginia Regional Park Authority for three years, and in 1976 he became the director of the National Recreation and Park Association where he served 10 years."
During our phone conversation, Mr. Davis had mentioned something about being involved with an early version of the Georgia Recreation and Parks Association, but not that he headed it up! And 10 years with the NRPA, which was founded in 1965 through the merger of five national recreation-oriented organizations! With more research, I learned there's a recreation center named in his honor in Dalton, Ga.
In the Marine Corps culture, history, legend and honoring predecessors are an important part of life and one of the reasons Marines share an ageless, mysterious bond. Some call it esprit de corps, but it really defies explanation or labeling. It is handed down from one generation of Marine to the next.
A Bond From The Past To Build A Future
In the Marines' very inception into the Corps, whether boot camp or officers' candidate school, officers and enlisted alike study important battles and the legendary Marine heroes who fought them, such as John Basilone, Alfred Cunningham, Chesty Puller, Dan Daly, Carlos Hathcock, Ray Davis. These names may not mean much to most Americans, but to Marines they are icons, indeed, they are the Marine Corps. They are names that today's Marines in Iraq and Afghanistan and throughout the world take into battle with them. They hear the true-life stories of the heroism, camaraderie, selflessness and sacrifice their predecessors demonstrated so they can be proud of the U.S. Marine title, and want to emulate their example.
Some might call this outdated thinking propaganda or brainwashing … It's not! It is a timeless phenomenon that provides a basis upon which new members of a unique society can share a bond from the past to build new bonds for the future. It makes us understand that we will always be part of something much bigger than ourselves (because once a Marine, always a Marine).
That phone call from John Davis, a man of the Greatest Generation, made me realize that I had spoken to an icon, and that I am missing a sense of history and tradition of the parks and rec field. I am now motivated to learn more about the genesis of the parks and rec world. I'll be sharing my findings with you.
Mr. Davis did write me a letter, and shared some common-sense, down-to-earth wisdom from his perspective about parks and recreation. I'll be sharing it with you in the next column. If you have some interesting recreation stories to share, send them on to me via the e-mail below. History is built one legend at a time.

maj'-is-trat (shephaT, corresponding to shaphaT, "to judge," "to pronounce sentence" (Judges 18:7)):
Among the ancients, the terms corresponding to our "magistrate" had a much wider signification. "Magistrates and judges" (shopheTim we-dhayyanim) should be translated "judges and rulers" (Ezra 7:25). ceghanim "rulers" or "nobles," were Babylonian magistrates or prefects of provinces (Jeremiah 51:23,28,57; Ezekiel 23:6). In the time of Ezra and Nehemiah, the Jewish magistrates bore the same title (Ezra 9:2; Nehemiah 2:16; 4:14; 13:11). The Greek archon, "magistrate" (Luke 12:58; Titus 3:1 the King James Version), signifies the chief in power (1 Corinthians 2:6,8) and "ruler" (Acts 4:26; Romans 13:3).
The Messiah is designated as the "prince (archon) of the kings of the earth" (Revelation 1:5 the King James Version), and by the same term Moses is designated the judge and leader of the Hebrews (Acts 7:27,35). The wide application of this term is manifest from the fact that it is used of magistrates of any kind, e.g. the high priest (Acts 23:5); civil judges (Luke 12:58; Acts 16:19); ruler of the synagogue (Luke 8:41; Matthew 9:18,23; Mark 5:22); persons of standing and authority among the Pharisees and other sects that appear in the Sanhedrin (Luke 14:1; John 3:1; Acts 3:17). The term also designates Satan, the prince or chief of the fallen angels (Matthew 9:34; Ephesians 2:2).
In the New Testament we also find strategos, employed to designate the Roman praetors or magistrates of Philippi, a Roman colony (Acts 16:20,22,35,36,38). A collective term for those clothed with power (Eng. "the powers"), exousiai, is found in Luke 12:11 the King James Version; Romans 13:2,3; Titus 3:1. The "higher powers" (Romans 13:1) are all those who are placed in positions of civil authority from the emperor down.
In early Hebrew history, the magisterial office was limited to the hereditary chiefs, but Moses made the judicial office elective. In his time the "heads of families" were 59 in number, and these, together with the 12 princes of the tribes, composed the Sanhedrin or Council of 71. Some of the scribes were entrusted with the business of keeping the genealogies and in this capacity were also regarded as magistrates.

Self improvement is a great topic to study if you want to grow and develop. This article contains tips on how you can reach your self improvement goals.
Don't avoid decision on this road, as they may be an opportunity that you miss. You should not fear making decisions even if you do not feel as sure about it as you would like to be. Positive habits are formed through the instances where you make a successful decision, which in turn becomes a more "natural instinct". Even bad decisions serve a purpose, as they teach valuable lessons. You'll make a better decision next time.
Use your time efficiently so you can get more done in a shorter amount of time. A good method to work for long periods of time is to take frequent breaks. This may seem wrong, but the truth is that more breaks give you a chance to relax and recharge yourself; when you return the work at hand, you can be more focused and get many things accomplished.
Self improvement starts with leadership. Leadership can be defined in many ways, but most people like to define it as "influence." Think about your own leadership experiences. What events have impacted you the most in your life? How did these people and events change you as a person? What attributes make you a good team player? By examining yourself through answering these questions, you can help yourself realize your role and ability in a team.
Base your development plan on your values and goals. Working against these values will lead to frustration and failure. Try and improve areas that coincide with your values. Changes to your life, in the personal or professional spheres, will be easier to make permanent when they reflect your ideals.
A crucial part of any self improvement program is to take special care in providing for your own physical needs. A good diet, a lot of sleep and activity will give you more energy and help you get a healthier and better-looking body. Even though it sounds simple enough to do, it could also be one of the toughest things to get into.
Part of self improvement is expanding your knowledge. Knowing something isn't enough, though. You have to put that knowledge into action. There are perhaps limitless ways in which one can grow as a person. Your confidence level should increase as you start applying some of these tips.

10 Tips for Finding a Job in Conservation
There's a lot I love about my job at the Nature Conservancy of Canada (NCC). Working on endangered species, landscape planning and protecting some of Canada's most important habitats is not a bad way to spend the day.
I also like sharing our work, especially with students who are pursuing a career in conservation. Whenever I give lectures, I always get great questions from students like, "How do you measure conservation success?"� But I know this is all a preamble for the question that they all have: "How do I get a job in conservation?"�
So, here are the key skills you can develop and the tips to make your resume stand out when you're applying for NCC's Conservation Internship Program or other jobs in conservation.
1. The value of volunteering
Sometimes it helps to work for free before you work for money. Volunteering with a conservation organization can add few lines of real-world experience to your resume, and lets you learn more about their conservation work. It shows you are ambitious and a self-starter. It's also a great opportunity to build your network and meet with practitioners so you can learn about their jobs.
2. Be good at project management
It's critical to demonstrate you are effective at managing your time, meeting deadlines and dealing with multiple requests. Experience in team work and developing budgets is also an asset. There are many training programs out there on project management. I know, you want to be an ecologist and not a project manager, but remember that good project management skills will help you to do better conservation.
3. Your network is key
Start building you professional relationships now. Follow conservation organizations on social media to learn about their projects and culture. Personal connections sparked at professional association events or conferences are better.
4. Understand how the system works
To solve our current biodiversity crisis we need to make sure that good science gets integrated into supportive policies. It's important to understand the frameworks for government decision making at the federal, provincial and municipal level, and the key role of Indigenous peoples in conservation. Learn about environmental policies and regulations, and be able to link them to your work and interests.
5. Be ready for big and emerging conservation issues
Align your studies with real-world conservation needs and issues. Fortunately, there are lots of pressing research questions in conservation, such as species recovery, climate change, invasive species, restoration ecology and sustainable land and water use. Check the websites of places you want to work before you start your academic project and align it to their needs.
6. Have some field skills
It's so important that you know the species and habitats that you want to conserve. The best way to learn new field skills is to be in the field with people that are smarter than you, such as hiking with local naturalist clubs.
There are many new apps that can also help you identify and learn about species. Make sure iNaturalist and eBird are on your phone and that you use them. Look for courses such as rangeland health assessment and ecological land classification. Many jobs in conservation require licences and certification, such as chainsaw and boater safety licences, first aid and pesticide application training.
7. Know how to communicate your work
Being able to communicate your work and share your passion is critical to build awareness and support for conservation. Take every opportunity you can to tell people about your thesis or project and why you believe it's important.
Find sites where you can post a blog, such as NCC's Land Lines. Tweet about it. Join Toastmasters. Lead a hike. Make sure you can tell it to your science colleagues, but most importantly, make sure you can tell it to your grandma. Learn to communicate clearly and without jargon. It's not dumbing it down�� it's communicating smarter because more people will understand your message and be inspired.
8. Learn to listen and link your work to people
You can't be a good communicator if you aren't a good listener. You especially need to listen to people outside of your regular circles. This might include farmers, business people, hunters or politicians. No matter how far apart you are in opinion, there is always some shared common ground. People may not care about measuring groundwater discharge rates in wetlands or the dispersal distance of bumble bees, but they might care about drinking water and pollination.
9. Learn to fundraise
The truth is, without funding there's no conservation. Be able to communicate what your project is and why it should be funded. Almost all career trajectories in conservation will get you to a point where you need to help fundraise.
When applying for any job in conservation, it's good to show that you have raised money and have reported on how it was spent. This could be a scholarship or a grant for a community project. It's also helpful to know what some of the key funding sources are from government, foundations and corporations for conservation.
10. Don't blow the interview
You were picked out of potentially hundreds of applications because, in addition to your great education, your resume highlighted how you've communicated your work, joined a local naturalist club to bolster your species identification skills and met one of the interviewers at a conference. Share what you've learned at past jobs, and link those experiences to the skills you can bring to the job.
Interviewers also want to get a sense of what you'd be like to work with. Be professional, but relax! Demonstrate how your skills make you qualified, show that you know something about the organization, ask questions, but it's also important to show your personality and let the interviewers get to know you.

Sunday School Report
March 2004
by Dawn Trusty
Laura Preston, Cindy Mattia and Courtney Richert have joined us in our quest to reach out to young people and encourage them to follow Jesus and grow in faith at North Salem UMC. I am pleased to have them join us in teaching the word of God.
The spring curriculum "Exploring Faith" has arrived. It speaks to our children/youth by relating to their lives. Activities like puzzles are a fun and educational part of their learning. Unit 1 is titled "Alleluia". The students will learn God send Jesus and how much he loves us. Unit 2 is "Paul". The focus is on Paul, a follower of Jesus. Much can be learned about following Jesus' example from Paul's letters.
Let's learn about Easter The teachers will have a meeting March 14th. We will discuss improving attendance and how to best utilize our curriculum. Our focus will be to bring the Easter message to the youth. On Easter Sunday, we will share a storybook of the Easter story. They will come away knowing Jesus has risen. Young students will enjoy an egg hunt. Older classes will be challenged by puzzles or trivia based on the events leading up to and including Easter Sunday.
Youth get involved in worship Singing "Clap Your Hands" in the fall was a special moment from many students of our Sunday School. Currently we are working on learning the song "Beneath the Storytelling Tree." We look forward to sharing their lovely voices with you so stay tuned.
Liturgists I am pleased that the youth have been encouraged to be Liturgists. You can look forward to hearing Jessica Mattia, Jenny Barber, Kelly Lavallee, Christopher McDonald, Kathleen Stacey and Amanda Keeler who are our newest readers. New readers are welcome.
Children's Sunday Tentatively set for June 13th. That's right around the corner. We'd like to encourage all the children to come to Sunday School often. Our goal is to give out as many pins and year bars as we can. Pins are earned by students with good attendance. We also reward several students with best attendance ribbons.

The Hunter - Filmhouse - 6/11/10
A very slow burning Iranian thriller from director Rafi Pitts that tells the compelling tale of Sara Alavi who returns home to find his wife and child missing. A 'phone call from the local police station informs him that his wife, at least, has been killed by the police after she was caught up in a demonstration. This news and the subsequent discovery that his child is, indeed, dead plunges him into a world of revenge and retribution.
Sara (Mitra Hajjar) is a quiet man who works the night shift as a security guard at a factory. His past as a convict, for crimes that are never revealed, deny him the chance to work a different shift and this keeps him from spending time with his wife and child. In free time Sara takes to the woods to hunt and his skill in this area is soon put to a very different use.
After his tragic losses Sara uses his hunting skills to kill two police officers in a manner that is reminiscent of the actions of the Washington Sniper. That decision sees Sara shift from hunter to hunted and, ultimately, to being the prize for the police officers who capture and kill him.
Short on the sort of thrills and spills that one would expect from a revenge movie from the West this is a film that requires effort from the viewer but that effort is rewarded in the performance of Mitra Hajjar who perfectly captures the pain and torment of a man who has lost everything and is prepared to do anything to avenge that.
