Like I said, if you racist white supremacists are attacking me, it means I'm effectively rooting out racism on the main site...and will continue to do so!
First, the lounge is infested and overrun by white supremacist trash. It is, and you guys are sick fucks. I avoid the lounge mostly and usually only comment on the actual interesting threads that aren't about racism. And most of these threads are racist. It's like a group of 10 or so racist people who just post trash on black people all day long. That's really fucken depressing.
Also for those who say blacks cannot be racist because they don't have the power to be racist that is total social justice warrior bullshit. What a massive steaming pile of shit that is. Want an example of how a black man can be racist? I'll give you one. Let's say a black guy owns a company, but ignores qualified white candidates for employment in favor of less capable black guys. That is racism you dumbass. For fuck sake, how much PC liberal bullshit have you guys been eating up that a black guy cannot be racist because he has no power? Also, to suggest that a black man doesn't have the wealth, intelligence or power to be racist is low key patronizing the black man. So you're just being a massive jackass idiot.
Also, the average white guy has no great power. The white dude who is holding stop signs or pouring your coffee is not "the man." He's just some dude trying to make a living or survive. Classism is much more prevalent than racism is in this country in 2018. Not to say that racism doesn't exist because it always does and to some extent it likely always will. But it's a hell of a lot better now than it was in 1860 or 1950.
The top %1 of rich people in this country are a bunch of old white guys. That's true, but the average white dude in this country is just a man trying to get by. Stop assuming every white guy is the man you PC fucks. He's just trying to live.
I think they kind of know this deep down themselves, which is why they project all these negative attributes onto blacks - it's actually their OWN characteristics they are talking about.
Once again Nay_Sayer that black supremacist faggot spams the main forum with his Afrocentrist faux history BS and Professor lets him do that.

Once tournament play begins, it is apparent which clubs have done their due diligence to train and prepare the athletes for their work team responsibilities, and which ones have not spent the time. Every director should make it a priority to train your athletes to officiate and keep score/book.
It is highly recommended to bring in a certified Official to run your club's training. River City Juniors in Omaha, Nebraska designates an entire day of training officiating/work team duties to their teams. The club happens to have trained and experienced Officials on staff, one who is nationally certified in referee and scorekeeping, plus the Club Director, Deb Grafentin, who officiated at the collegiate level or a few years, and another coach who scored collegiate matches for 6 years.
River City has followed a specific Official and Scorekeeper training schedule for nearly 20 years.
Training Schedule:
The weekend before RCJ starts competition, the club hosts a Picture and Scrimmage Day. HERE is the itinerary for the day, basic itinerary is below.
9:00-10:30 AM: Team Photos and Big Sis/Lil Sis Meet and Greet.
- A local photography company supplies team and individual photos first thing in the morning, as well as custom items parents can pre-order.
- When teams are not taking their team pic or meeting, athletes will meet with their "sis". Athletes are encouraged to give their "sis" an inspirational quote or get to know her better.
- Coaches are there to help their athletes connect with their "sis" and meet players that are on the other team.
10:30-11:30 AM: Teams participate in an Officiating Clinic to learn proper protocol for R1, R2, Line judging and Scorekeeping.
Teams divide into 2 groups: one for Scorekeeping and one for R1 & R2s. 17s and 18s are the on-court demonstrators for the R1/R2 dry run.
- Each team divides into two groups because this way the athletes become more proficient at their task. There are some athletes who should not be an R1 because they fear being on the stand and possibly getting yelled at, so RCJ views work team roles just like positions and their strength. Some athletes are more capable to be a setter vs being a middle, as there are individuals who are more capable with a whistle and some that are better at the book.
- Each group goes to their respective training and learns the mechanics of what needs to happen.
- Each team at RCJ has two coaches. Each coach must pick scoring or officiating to master. Each coach that has a strength now is the coach those players can rely on for additional help. Example: Deb handles all officiating for her team and Aimee, the Assistant Coach, handles all scorekeeping.
11:30 AM-12:00 PM: Lunch Break.
12:00-4:00 PM: Scrimmage. HERE is the Sample Scrimmage Schedule.
- Just prior to the scrimmage we have 12 coaches go on the court to replicate certain unique situations that may take place in a match. For example: back row attacks, a libero setting in front of 10' line, four touches vs two touches on the spike that didn't go over.
- One team is the work team for each scrimmage. Older teams help the younger teams by standing with the line judges and R1s and R2s to help them with their mechanics. Younger teams will have at least two work duties for additional practice.
- Coaches can stop play at anytime to fix/adjust/teach what could/should have been called.
Benefits of the Officiating and Scorekeeper Training
Deb and her staff have seen direct benefits of the training on her athletes and parents year after year.
- Creates confidence in the athletes when it is tournament time because the athletes feel prepared and they know the coaches are there to help.
- Instills pride in the athletes. We make it a point to have any team who has a real R1 working the match and that R1 lets us know we did a great job. RCJ teams are complimented often, which boosts the athletes' pride.
- Fewer parent issues. We have parents watch how we teach so they respect what we are doing and can understand what their child is learning and how it will apply. When a parent from our club says something they shouldn't, another parent will immediately to that parent and say this is not the River City way of doing things, or the other parent will let their coach or Club Director know so it can be handled directly with the parent that acted out.

My lack of sleep isn't the only thing that's contributing to my foggy perception of the world. I feel as though I'm becoming Carla Fontaine for 12 hours and then reverting to little ol' Angie for 12 hours. The sensation is especially disconcerting when it comes to my love life. The other day, after spending hours online conducting long distance sex with a group of anonymous strangers, Lucky came home from work and became amorous. Instinctively, I found myself going into seductress mode like I had been playing all night. We were well into our love making before I realized I was playing a role and not actually focusing on the moment. Lucky seemed to enjoy it just fine, which left me even more confused. As attentive as he is to me in other ways, he tends to become a bit selfish in the bed room. I hadn't noticed that the first time we slept together because, well frankly, I was too inebriated to remember anything much. Now that we've had sex while I've been sober, his lack of skill is more apparent. Just an observation, but it seems like the more blessed a man is in the genital department, the less he thinks he needs to do to please a woman.
Anyway, my life feels like it's settling into a dysfunctional routine. Except for the other night when Lucky came home early and I was still involved in a session with one of my clients. I had to feign internet troubles to end the session quickly and straighten everything up. Lucky still walked in on me while I was dressed in a leather bikini. I couldn't very well pass it off as normal sleeping attire, so I had to think fast. Fortunately, since I already told him that I sell lingerie and other sexy items online, I just explained that I was taking some modeling shots for the Web site. The lovable dope bought it. This is really nuts.
My mom calls me almost every day. She is apparently having regular dates with my old high school principal, Brad Huggins. I don't know what bothers me more: the fact that Mom is dating so soon after Dad's death or that she taking up with my old principal. Actually, I have to realize that it's been almost a year since my father passed away, and my mom is completely on her own back in Maryland. Also, if I kind of stand back and look at Mr. Huggins objectively, he's not such a bad looking guy. I just can't shake the image of him marching around the corridors of my old high school like a martinet, checking the lavatories for wayward smokers.
It's been rather quiet lately. In between clients, I even got to catch some of the Ravens/Panthers preseason game on ESPN last night. Of course, the Ravens won. I think they could go all the way this year. I'm sure my father is looking down on me disapprovingly. Growing up in Bethesda, he was a lifelong Redskins fan while I paid no attention to football at all. Then, during my freshman year of college, I dated a guy from Baltimore who was a Ravens fan. That just happened to be the year they went to the Super Bowl, and I've been a fan ever since.
So that's this week, but I get a feeling in my bones that something's about to break loose. It always does in my life. I guess I have to enjoy the calm while I can.

People-centric Apps
Rapidly Design, Build & Deploy HTML5 UX apps, that deliver better experiences for occupants, or integrate with 3rd party systems and apps
Access ControlOur Intelligent Buildings combine access control and other subsystems to enable smarter scenarios such as closing off floors when occupancy levels across the building is low, and also turning off lighting and HVAC to save energy on those locked floors.
Air & WellnessWellness = Productivity
The quality of our air and the temperature of our buildings is a key factor in the health and well-being of building occupants. What if our buildings could auto-detect high-levels of CO2 and other pollutants, and make appropriate HVAC adjustments before impacting employee productivity?
Bike storeAs commuting into work evolves, your workplace should make it easier to identify services such as free bike docks, available locker space and available showering facilities as well as being able to provide notifications when your bike has been repaired.
BIMBuilding Information Modelling (BIM) is an integral visualisation standard within Building Management. New and Existing models can easily be imported and utilised within the ICONICS platform without additional data input. BIM models can be supplemented with the vast amounts of IoT data Intelligent Buildings are now collecting.
Car ParkBringing Car Parking functionality into your Intelligent Building has never been simpler. Capabilities such as Automatic Number Plate Recognition, visualising the available spaces and exposing capacity in real-time brings smoother visitor and employee monitoring.
CCTV & SecurityIntegration of your security system and CCTV, historically standalone systems, with the rest of your Intelligent Building enables new scenarios such as being able to drive Pan,Tilt and Zoom on a CCTV camera to a specific equipment fault, or to supplement your fire evacuation procedures by exposing real-time occupancy data to your fire marshals.
Digital LockersMake the process of finding free locker space across multiple floors easier for your employees by integrating the locker system into your Intelligent Building system, exposing this data on digital signage.
Desk ManagementAdd solutions that provide desk/room occupancy and traffic flow in a privacy aware way that aligns with General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR). Gain insights into the utilisation of your work places and support spaces 24/7, and make this information available for digital signage/wayfinding to make it easier for users to find specific space.
Energy ManagementOur Energy Management solutions can address any sized application from a single meter building to an entire campus or multi-site enterprise. Natively within the ICONICS platform, users can create IT firewall-friendly, secure custom energy dashboards and kiosks to view energy reports and real-time analysis. Users can intuitively navigate large data sets and discover huge opportunities for energy improvement and cost reduction.
HVACIntelligent HVAC control is truly revolutionising the amount of energy our buildings consume. Via the Internet of Things (IoT) and the flood of data we are receiving from various sensors, our software intelligence can ensure that unoccupied rooms and spaces don't waste energy. ICONICS can also ensure that our HVAC systems are tuned to specification via our continuous commissioning / predictive analytics module – saving time and money on maintenance and energy costs.
Lift ControlImagine combining the data on your lifts with other building datasets such as occupancy or room booking. What if we could substantially reduce lift waiting times and thus increase employee wellbeing whilst reducing the amount of energy our lifts consume?
LightingIntegrating Lighting control systems with the rest of your building opens up a vast array of optimisation capabilities such as auto-dimming the lighting based on available outside light levels, turning off lighting in areas that are currently unoccupied or in booked meeting rooms that no one arrived for. This extends to scene selections via mobile or voice for frictionless interaction with your environment.
Predictive AnalysisThe ICONICS platform features an advanced fault rules engine, fully customisable for predictive maintenance and continuous commissioning - advising personnel of preventative actions across FM. The software detects and prioritises the probable cause of failure within smart building equipment that is usually unknown to tenants or FMs.
Occupancy ManagementIoT technology is helping us monitor space and occupancy, to innovate and improve digital workplaces, but also to save money on surplus square footage. Together with hardware / delivery partners, our software can count people and traffic flow and allow users to make decisions based on actual utilisation of the space.
Room BookingOccupants can book and manage bookable spaces anywhere in the building. They can locate and be guided to their nearest free space and be confident that, upon arrival, the room will be tailored to their comfort preferences. Through a Single-Pane-of-Glass (SPOG) our people can book, control and extent their meeting experiences.
Smart BinsBusinesses with sustainability targets will want to know how much waste is being generated and how to optimise their waste collection processes. Smart bin sensors integrated with your Intelligent Building will help to visualise your waste generation and assist with your sustainability target reporting.
UX Tenant AppAn Intelligent Building that has connections to all its subsystems enables the easy creation of rich tenant apps through a single secured Applications Programming Interface. Apps for user voting of comfort settings, reserving bookable spaces, sending feedback on facility or equipment issues…the scenarios are endless.
Digital Signage & WayfindingImagine a building that welcomed us with a bespoke message as we arrive at reception, automated our check-in experience and then guided us to and from our meeting room.
Wayfinding technologies empower and guide people to find the things that they are looking for. It creates a visual map of building space, steering occupants to their meetings, available desks, their colleagues or specific resources in the building.

Jeff Patton wrote the book User Story Mapping. Story mapping it's a tool to enable your team to hold better conversations about the project throughout the development process. Your team will learn to come away with a shared understanding of what you're attempting to build and why.
The book offers 18 chapters:
- The big picture. This chapter will help to get a basic understanding of a story map and what it means to tell stories.
- Plan to build less. Now you have a basis understanding of a map some more details are added. What's the backbone of the map, what type of users are playing a role, which big activities are the performing, how can those activities be divided into smaller steps, how can we split a single step into more details.
- Plan to learn faster. Are we going to deliver everything in one big release, or can we have multiple releases? How are we going to set up the individual releases? How can we learn from the users using the release (validated learning, build – measure – learn)?
- Plan to finish on time. Don't release each slice. Divide your release in an opening game (see it work), mid game (make it better) and an end game (make it releasable). Include risk stories to make risk visible.
- You already know how. Based on the previous chapters you now have a pretty good understanding of a story map. In this chapter you can prove you really understand it by creating a story map of all the things you have done this morning when you woke up until you've gotten ready for work. Will be fun, definitely when you do this with some more people and start to discuss differences. To download: QRC (story mapping, 190606) v1.0
- The real story about stories. The founding father of the idea of stories was Kent Beck (eXtreme Programming). His idea was to stop working so hard on writing the perfect document, and to get to tell stories get their name not from how they're supposed to be written, but from how they're supposed to be used. Ron Jeffries describe the story process as 3 C's: Card, Conversation and Conformation.
- Telling better stories. Stay away from template zombies. Start talking about the who, what, why, what goes wrong, what happens outside the software, questions and assumptions, better solutions, how and how long.
- It's not all on the card. You could scribble everything you like on a card. E.g. short title, description, story number, estimate, size or budget, value, metrics, dependencies, status, dates. You could even flip the chart to the back and write additional notes or bulleted acceptance criteria.
- The card is just the beginning. The 3 C's are just the beginning. Two more C's complete it: Construction and Consequences (evaluate with team first, then with business stakeholders and in tests with customers and users).
- Bake stories like cake. Ask lots of who, what, and why questions. Ask about the context (where, when, how many). Talk long enough to build shared understanding. If the story describes a solution that's too expensive, consider a different solution that helps you reach the goal. If the story describes a solution that's affordable but big, break it into smaller parts that allow you to evaluate and see progress sooner.
- Rock breaking. A right-sized story from a user's perspective is one that fulfills a need. A right-sized story from a development team's perspective is one that takes just a few days to build and test. A right-sized story from a business perspective is one that helps a business achieve a business outcome. Conversations are one of the best tools for breaking down big stories.
- Rock breakers. A small, cross-functional team led by a product owner orchestrates product discovery work. The ideal size for a product discovery team is two to four people – dinner-conversation-sized so the members can quickly build shared understanding. The solution we want is valuable, feasible and usable (the three concerns; triad).
- Start with opportunities. Have conversations about opportunities and decide whether to move forward with them or trash them. If you agree to take on everything you are not helping anyone. Aggressively trash opportunities that don't offer much hope of creating the outcomes you hope for.
- Using discovery to build shared understanding. Discovery work isn't about building shippable software, it's about learning. What problems are we really solving? What solutions could be valuable? What does a usable solution look like? What's feasible to build given the time and tools that we have? Use four essential steps to discovery: frame the idea, understand customers and users, envision your solution and minimize and plan.
- Using discovery for validated learning. During discovery and validated learning, you may be telling stories constantly, breaking ideas and work down into small buildable pieces and agreeing on exactly what to build. You'll be doing it so fast that it won't be clear you're using stories. But you are.
- Refine, define, and build. Play the Good-Better-Best game for splitting stories (What's good enough to get things working, what would make it better, what's the best version we can imagine?).
- Stories are actually like asteroids. Break stories down progressively, and just in time. To avoid a backlog filled with lots of tiny stories, take a bundle of stories that go together, and write all their titles on a single card as a bulleted list. Summarize those tittles with a single title on your new card and you've got one big story. In this way you can clean-up your backlog.
- Learn from everything you build. There are many opportunities to learn: review as a team, review with others in your organization, learn from users, learn from release to users, and use a map to evaluate release readiness.
Conclusion: A must read for product owners and agile team members. It's the most complete book on story mapping I have read, and it will answer all (or most of) your questions regarding user story mapping.The book will definitely help you to use story mapping to deliver results that satisfy your customers.

Does your California business bring in $100,000 or more in annual income? If so, this makes you a Qualified Purchaser under a new program from the State Board of Equalization (the BOE). I regularly see a few child care providers and other sole proprietors who have gross income (income before expenses) at this level. If you are not sure, look to see how much income you reported on your Schedule C, Line 7.
Businesses falling into the Qualified Purchaser category are required to register with the BOE for the purpose of paying use tax, which is another flavor of sales tax. It has been on the books for a long time, but is only recently being enforced. You may owe use tax if you buy supplies online from out-of-state vendors. If such vendors don't collect California sales tax, it is up to you to pay the use tax directly to the state. The use tax rate is the same as your local sales tax rate.
If your business gross income is under $100,000, you don't have to register, but you are still required to track and pay California use tax.
Under California law, all state residents making use tax purchases must pay use tax for the prior year by April 15.
Qualified Purchasers must register to file and pay their use tax electronically through the BOE website. A tax return must be filed every year, EVEN IF YOU OWE NO USE TAX.
In recent years, individuals have been able to report and pay use tax on their California income tax return. Do NOT report business use tax this way if you are required to register with the BOE**. Franchise Tax Board computers do not share information with the BOE, so notices will keep coming until you either e-file through the BOE website or contact the BOE to straighten things out.
The Board of Equalization is very serious about getting businesses to register and pay use tax. They have access to income tax data and have been sending out letters statewide to businesses with at least $100,000 in gross income. If you receive a BOE letter, DO NOT IGNORE IT. Otherwise, this state agency will continue to pester you and penalties may result.
Newly registered businesses are being asked to report use tax purchases for several prior years. The BOE e-file system is easy to use. If you don't think you owe any use tax for a certain year because you paid sales tax on all of your business purchases, go online anyway and report zero use tax.
If you previously reported use tax on an income tax return, this is another case where I recommend that you go online and report zero use tax for the years in question. Otherwise, BOE warning letters will keep coming. Reporting zero use tax will likely be easier than getting BOE computers to understand that you paid previously.
Always keep proof of any business use tax you pay. It can be treated as business deduction on your income tax return.
**If your business is required to register with the BOE, you can still report use tax related to personal (non-business) purchases on your California income tax return, if you wish.

Henry Cole and the Afrobeat Collective: Roots Before Branches
The Afrobeat on this album behaves like an omnivorous bag, willing to swallow anything.
Henry Cole and the Afrobeat Collective
Roots Before BranchesLabel: Self-Released
US Release Date: 2012-03-13
UK Release Date: Import
We're told that Henry Cole -- a Puerto Rican, based in New York -- wanted all of his friends together in the same body of music -- the salsa ones, the rock ones, the rapper -- and he wanted to figure out how he could unite them. Fela Kuti was his lightbulb. So the Afrobeat on this album behaves like an omnivorous bag, willing to swallow anything.
Roots starts tight, trumpets shouting together with Latin American rapport, and briefly you think you've got it nailed, but by the end you've been taken through classical strings and electronic distortion and you're finishing with loose rolls of jazz, and you realise it can't be pegged by mortal ears. Cole is a drummer, not a singer, so there's no Fela-frontman: this is mainly instrumental, with some vocals from the friends. Percussion itself is the frontman. It's present almost everywhere. The album is like a journal, he suggests, "something that would express how I was feeling." It is interesting to see Afrobeat so deliberately renovated in this personal and nonpolitical way.

Crystal meth is a very powerful and addictive drug that is fairly easy to obtain. In addition to its availability, crystal meth is cheaper than many other drugs and is made with household chemicals that are found at the local drug store. The following is an overview of the effects crystal meth has on the body and the charges you may face if caught with it in your possession. If you are facing possession charges, it may benefit you to speak with a criminal defense lawyer for advice before entering a plea.
Short Term Effects
Crystal meth is also known as ice, meth or speed and can be smoked, snorted, injected or taken by mouth in pill form. The short term effects of this drug are:
Long Term Effects
Like most drugs, the long term effects of a crystal meth addiction can be especially damaging to the body. The most common long term effects associated with meth use includes:
Crystal meth use can be divided into several different categories, depending on how much someone uses. These groups include:
These users typically use meth just enough to stay awake for tests or to lose weight. Low intensity users tend to snort or swallow the drug.
High intensity users are highly addicted to crystal meth and need more of the drug each time to get the same effect. Most of their time is spent focusing on obtaining the drug to avoid the crash and withdrawal symptoms.
Binge users most often smoke meth or inject it into their veins with a needle. Someone who uses meth in this way is one step away from becoming a high intensity crystal meth addict.
Drug possession charges can drastically change your life in a negative way. Because crystal meth is labeled as a dangerous drug, the penalty for possession are typically harsh. Even if you are found with less than 1 gram of the drug, you will be facing substantial jail time and hefty fines. A drug possession charge can also keep you from getting the job you want and even affect your ability to rent an apartment or house. You could even risk losing custody of your children if the situation warrants it.
What A Lawyer Can Do
If you are facing crystal meth possession charges, do not be bullied into making a statement or confession without speaking to a criminal defense attorney. Your future and freedom are at stake, so it is important to have high quality legal representation in court. Your lawyer may be able to negotiate a deal that significantly lowers your fines, jail time and probation period. Do not take a chance with your freedom and your future, when a criminal defense attorney may be able to help you lower your charges and penalties.
Contact a criminal defense attorney today to discuss your case if you are facing charges for crystal meth possession or distribution with intent to sell. Having a lawyer to look out for your best interests may greatly improve your chances of having a successful outcome in court. Hiring an attorney may also help reduce the stress and anxiety that is a part of every criminal court case.

It's an unlikely article one might expect to see in The New Yorker. But if you really want to have a "long read" about this adversarial pest – one we all know so well – read this article.
"These uniquely versatile bugs are decimating crops and infiltrating houses all across the country. Will we ever be able to get rid of them?"
by Kathryn Shultz
"One October night a few years back, Pam Stone was downstairs watching television with her partner, Paul Zimmerman, when it struck her that their house was unusually cold. Stone and Zimmerman live just outside Landrum, South Carolina, in an A-frame cabin; upstairs in their bedroom, French doors lead out to a raised deck. That week, autumn had finally descended on the Carolinas, killing off the mosquitoes and sending nighttime temperatures plummeting, and the previous evening the couple had opened those doors a crack to take advantage of the cool air. Now, sitting in front of the TV, Stone suddenly realized that she'd left them open and went up to close them.
"Zimmerman was still downstairs when he heard her scream." Click here to be linked to this article at The New Yorker.

Russell Simmons endorses Obama for president
March 3, 2008
NEW YORK (AP) — Russell Simmons has been pushing young people to vote, but for a while there, it was looking as if the music industry heavyweight would have trouble casting his own ballot.
Not anymore.
The hip-hop mogul said Sunday he is endorsing Barack Obama for president, inspired by the diversity among the Illinois senator's supporters. Obama has built an unprecedented national movement of people from all ethnic, racial, political, social and economic backgrounds, Simmons said in a news release.
It was a little more than a year ago that Simmons, the co-founder of Def Jam Recordings who says he's an independent who has supported Democrats and Republicans, sounded as if he was having a hard time deciding.
"If you could take Barack Obama's image, add Hillary Rodham Clinton's money and John Edwards' voice, that would be my candidate," Simmons said in January 2007.

The sister of the co-owner of a popular Joo Chiat popiah shop has failed in her $1.2 million insurance claim against AIA Singapore after the High Court ruled that his death was not an accident.
Justice Judith Prakash found that Mr Quek Kiat Siong " probably deliberately consumed more medication than he should have, and that this was the cause of his death".
"I cannot find his death to have been caused by an accident falling within the policies," she said in judgment grounds released yesterday.
The judgment is significant in clarifying what makes for an accident as described in a personal accident insurance policy in order to qualify for an insurance payout.
Ms Victoria Quek, elder sister of the dead man, had taken AIA to court to seek payouts on two personal accident policies.
But AIA countered that Mr Quek did not injure his body in any accident, so the policies did not apply.
Mr Quek, who was single and said to be a street-smart and savvy businessman, helped run the Kway Guan Huat Joo Chiat Popiah & Kueh Pie Tie - a business started by his father in 1938 on the same premises.
In July 2012, the 50-year-old was admitted to Mount Elizabeth Hospital for a month-long treatment for back pain. He was also treated by a psychiatrist for anxiety, depression and insomnia. He was prescribed 14 drugs by different doctors.
On Aug 4, 2012, he was found unconscious on his bedroom floor by a tenant at his Everitt Road house and rushed to Changi General Hospital. He died on the same day.
Lawyers Melanie Ho and Chang Man Phing argued that his death was an accident caused by "mixed drug intoxication" from the medication that was "completely accidental and unintentional". They claimed he had consumed the drugs in the quantities prescribed and not extra amounts.
But defence lawyers Lim Tong Chuan and Joel Wee countered that AIA was not liable as Mr Quek must have intentionally overdosed on the drugs and, in any case, his death was not "accidental" or " involuntary" because the drug consumption was not an involuntary act.
At issue was whether the policies covered the risk of dying from the voluntary consumption of the medicine according to the prescription and if the death was caused by the drug consumption, said the judge.
She held that Mr Quek's death would be an accident "if it was not the intended result of consuming the medication".
As a general principle, a voluntary act with unexpected consequences is treated as an accident, she added.
But Justice Prakash concluded that he had overdosed, relying on the scientific and medical evidence from the 12-day hearing last year.
"Notwithstanding that on the night before his death the deceased did not display any signs of being suicidal, he must have deliberately consumed excess medication," she said.
Justice Prakash, who dismissed the claims with costs, said she was "perturbed" by the failure of Ms Quek and the dead man's nephew Lucas Lim to give evidence.
"Overall, I gained the strong impression that the plaintiffs had organised their case in a particular way and had considered very carefully the evidence that they would present in court. I found them less than fully forthcoming."

Carlos Santana is not a fan of "Scarface," or at least not of how the film portrays Latinos.
The 67-year-old guitarist and icon sat down with Billboard on Wednesday as part of the "Legends Q&A" at the 2015 Billboard Latin Music Conference. In his conversation with Billboard's Leila Cobo, the guitarist spoke candidly about the need to unite as a human race, how his mother influenced his career and what he loves about his guitar. But Santana also took some time to voice his thoughts on Latinos and how the community should come together and defy Hollywood stereotypes.
"Now is our time," Santana told Billboard. "Latinos need to unite with respect and dignity, not the stereotypes like 'Scarface' that Hollywood likes to show. That's B.S."
The Mexican-American will be honored on Thursday at the Billboard Latin Music Awards with the Spirit of Hope Award, which recognizes the artist's humanitarian efforts helping children around the world with education, health and more through his Milagro Foundation.
The Billboard Latin Music Awards will be broadcast live on Telemundo April 30 from Miami's BankUnited Center.

Client: Supermarket T-market
Date: October 2017
Warranty: 3 years
Illumination: G.O.Q. LED modules
City: Kazanlak
We express our satisfaction with the correct and quality work, we thank you for the responsiveness of the team and the good business relations that we will develop in the future as well.
T-Market once again trusted us with the branding of one of their location, this time in Kazanlak. During the last years, we have manufactured many illuminated and non-illuminated advertising installations for the branding of the supermarket. Which led to the establishment of trustworthy business relations during the years.
For the branding of the store in Kazanlak, we constructed an illuminated sign and totem for better and more effective brand recognition.
Illuminated flexible face sign for T-Market Kazanlak
The illuminated sign is designed in combination with aluminum sign system. The face of the sign is applied with translucent film 3M Scotchcal 2330 for illuminated signage. Once again we chose G.O.Q. LED for the lighting of the sign. They ad attractive and lasting illumination.
Illuminated totem T-Market attracts the attention of passers-by
The illuminated totem is constructed likewise. On the old metal construction, we mounted a new, double-sided illuminated sing. We used a vinyl banner and aluminum sign systems for the base, on the face we applied 3M translucent film. The G.O.Q. LED diodes are a part of the perfect illumination of the advertising totem.
Identical branding is meant to increase brand recognition and promote the advertising message.
Totems are highly suitable for outdoor advertisement. They are not only effective and different in design, but also perfect navigators.
Why vinyl banner?
The vinyl banner combines few features that transform it into a commonly used material. It is very light and easy to mount, which automatically eases the process of switching the advertising messages. The aluminum profile and the vinyl banner ensure great durability of the ad. Constructed like that, the life of the advertising installation is much longer than the guaranteed period.

When Carlos Castro and Haijun Su started working as assistant professors in the engineering department at Ohio State, they didn't know that just a few years later, they would be creating what some are calling "real life 'Transformers.'"
Castro approached Su with an idea of combining DNA and nanotechology, and by late 2011, the two paired up and began working on turning their idea into a reality.
"We have formed a critical team in the traditional machine elements, and Carlos has the DNA origami expertise so we can form a perfect team," Su said.
Su and Castro, who both have backgrounds in mechanical engineering, combined their knowledge of robotics and nanotechnology to use DNA origami, which is the folding of DNA on a nanoscale, to create nanorobots that can change shape as well as repeatedly perform a task.
The nanorobots Su and Castro are creating are changing what Su called "mostly static structures" into movable machines.
"This research is about designing multiple pieces and then assembling them into machines that have controllable motions," Su said.
Su said these nanorobots are being called "DNA transformers" because of their ability to change shape. These advances in DNA origami could lead to breakthroughs in the treatment of major medical diseases such as cancer. They could allow for doctors to control not only how much but where in the body medications can be delivered, Su said.
Castro and Su's work is funded by the National Science Foundation and has been published in the scientific journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
Although Su said being published and having his work recognized is a great feeling, he added that the path to publication for him and Castro was a difficult one.
Su said even though he and Castro were originally ready to publish their findings in early 2013, they found it challenging to get their work published because neither of them had any previous published work and they were only assistant professors with no senior author.
"Carlos (and I) weren't established … and we recognized that," he said.
To overcome the challenges of getting published, Su and Castro decided to wait and publish their research, and they took that time to build up their individual resumes. After two years, they had done enough to have their DNA origami research published.
Alexander Marras and Lifeng Zhou are both graduate students in the College of Engineering who joined the project three years ago to help Castro and Su in their research.
Marras was finishing his undergraduate degree when he was first introduced to the project by one of his professors, who then put him in contact with Castro. Marras was so interested in the research he decided to apply to graduate school at OSU and work on the research with Castro and Su.
"I thought it was pretty fascinating. I always enjoyed mechanics and the design aspects of mechanical engineering," Marras said. "And I think biology and the way the body works is just amazing, so when I learned about an opportunity to combine those and be involved in this brand new technology, I decided to apply to Ohio State for grad school."
Both Marras and Zhou said they are excited about the possibilities of the study, and have many ideas on what the future holds for the research.
"It will help researchers build custom machines in the future that can serve specific purposes like trapping a molecule, generating forces in response to a bio signal or performing tasks on a cell surface," Marras said. "The exciting thing is that it's all really new and there are many different ways we can expand."
Zhou said he thinks the research "will provide tools or devices that can function as robots to do work not only in blood vessels but also in cells. It can help people to treat lots of diseases, such as cancer."
Each researcher sees the future of their research being extremely beneficial — not only for medical advancements, but also for the understanding of the relationship between DNA and mechanical engineering.
Su said the possibilities are numerous for the future of the research.
"With this paper we are building the building blocks, the building blocks are the joints … We are building a library of building blocks, and that opens the door. We can use these building blocks to construct any kind of machine."

Is Chan Lowe paying royalties to use Terri Schiavo's name for personal gain? If not, he should be.
How many cartoons has he done at that poor girl's expense? Recently, he did a cartoon showing her coffin covered with flowers, and each arrangement was labeled as a supposed special interest (Republicans, the Bushes, you get the idea).
But no one has profited from that poor girl's death like Chan Lowe has.
And now he has yet another one, this one contrasting the response to Terri's cause to the response to Hurricane Katrina. Does the word "hypocrisy" mean anything?
I guess it's no surprise then that Chan Lowe would bash God (the intelligent design/Katrina cartoon). Hurricanes are intelligent design, though. This Earth would devolve into an abysmal cesspool environmentally if hurricanes, forest fires, earthquakes and even the periodic thunderstorms did not purify and cleanse the atmosphere and the land on a regular basis, bringing renewal.
The Earth constantly attempts to purify and reclaim its lands and its elements. That is God's design, and it is bigger than any individual.
A writer praising Lowe's intelligent design cartoon lamented that 45 percent of this country refutes science by believing in creationism; and one Nobel Prize winner recently stated that even if God himself came down with proof that he created the universe, it could not be considered science, because religion cannot, by definition, be science. How close-minded is that?
The word "science" means "knowledge." If something is true, then by definition it is science. And science must be open-minded. Faith, too, requires open-mindedness (not to be confused with agnosticism). Otherwise, we have no knowledge of why we follow. God didn't give us brains to never use them.
Science and God are one and the same. Everything that science embraces that is true came from God. Some, like Chan Lowe, just don't get it.

Independent monitor finds major flaws in s35P disclosure offences
The report by the Independent National Security Legislation Monitor –Roger Gyles QC - on the controversial section 35P provisions of the ASIO Act was tabled in the Senate on 2nd February. These provisions created draconian offences with penalties of 5 and 10 years imprisonment for disclosure by any person of any information relating to ASIO 'Special Intelligence Operations' (SIO) at any time.
NSWCCL, along with the other councils for civil liberties, strongly opposed both the SIO regime and these provisions for their chilling effect on the media and on reasonable scrutiny of ASIO. The controversy around these offences forced the Prime Minister to ask the INSLM to review their impact on journalists.
The report is thorough and suggests the INSLM gave proper and serious consideration to the informed criticisms of the SIO regime and the obnoxious disclosure offences. His findings on the offences are consistent with our views. His recommendations remedy some of the worst aspects of the offences – but sadly fall short of repealing them.
The Government has said it will implement the INSLM's recommendations in full.Read more
Joint CCLs call on Parliament to reject citizenship stripping Bill
The Australian Citizenship Amendment (Allegiance to Australia) Bill 2015 has not yet been approved by parliament. The debate on the Bill is scheduled to resume next week. As Labor has indicated it will support the revised version of the Bill, it is almost certainly going to be approved quickly and probably without amendment.
As this is such a significant issue, the NSW, Victorian, Queensland and South Australian Councils for Civil Liberties and the Australian Council for Civil Liberties have issued a joint public statement making one last call on the Australian Parliament to abandon this misguided Bill.Read more
NSWCCL opposes abolition of independent monitor of counter-terrorism laws
NSWCCL has made a submission to the senate committee inquiring into the Government's proposal to abolish the Independent National Security Legislation Monitor (INSLM) as part of its 'red tape bonfire'.
The INSLM is an important independent position set up in 2010 with broad review functions relating to the intensely sensitive and complex area of counter-terrorism laws: whether these laws remain proportionate to the threat of terrorism in Australia and whether they contain appropriate safeguards to protect the rights of individuals.Read more
Submission to the Parliamentary Joint Committee on Intelligence and Security (PJCIS) regarding data retention and certificates of immunity for ASIO officers and their contacts - October 2012
NSWCCL has made a submission to the Parliamentary Joint Committee on Intelligence and Security (PJCIS) regarding data retention and certificates of immunity for ASIO officers and their contacts
In this submission, NSWCCL addresses the following points:
- Opposing blanket data retention of all Australian's telecommunications metadata
- Response to police submissions concerning possible seeking of additional powers
- Opposing the proposal that ASIO officers be granted certificates of immunity from civil and criminal liability
Submission to the Independent National Security Legislation Monitor - October 2012
NSWCCL has made a Submission to the Independent National Security Legislation Monitor
Questions addressed include:
- Is the last resort requirement for a questioning warrant under the ASIO Act too demanding?
- Are the time limits (e.g. 7 days detention for 24 hours questioning) applicable to questioning warrants too long, too short or about right?
- Are the time limits for questioning warrants where interpreters have been used commensurate with the limits applying otherwise?
- Are there sufficient safeguards including judicial review in relation to the surrender or cancellation of passports, in connexion with questi oning warrants?
- Is the abrogation of privilege against self-incrimination under a questioning warrant sufficiently balanced by the use immunity?
- Do the conditions permitting use of lethal force in enforcing a warrant sufficiently clearly require reasonable apprehension of danger to life or limb?
- Are the three several conditions for issuing a questioning and detention warrant stringent enough?
- Should anything be done about doubtful aspects of the constitutional validity of control orders and preventative detention orders under the Criminal Code?
NSWCCL launches national fightback to roll back extraordinary ASIO powers
"The greatest assault on civil liberties in Australia since World War II." Professor George Williams AO tonight launched a national campaign led by the NSW Council for Civil Liberties to wind back the excessive and disproportionate powers given to ASIO in the decade since 9/11.Read more
Submission to the COAG Review of Australia's Counter-Terrorism Legislation 2012 - October 2012
NSWCCL has made a submission to the COAG Review of Australia's Counter-Terrorism Legislation 2012
Although terrorism has been a problem for hundreds of years, the Twin Tours attack in New York and the London and Bali bombings led to the passage of a great deal of legislation which might have been justified if the problem, like a war, could be expe cted to be concluded in a few years. However, it is plain—indeed, it was always plain— that terrorism is not going away. It is time to consider which of the laws we have passed should be kept, which modified, and which should be repealed.
An argument is also made for the need for an Australian Bill of Rights. Without a Bill of Rights, the courts in Australia are unable to protect people from laws that violate fundamental principles of international human rights law; that expose Australians and aliens to risks to their liberties.
Submission to the Joint Parliamentary Joint Committee on Intelligence and Security (PJCIS) regarding the Inquiry into potential reforms of the National Security Legislation - August 2012
NSWCCL has made a submission to the Joint Parliamentary Joint Committee on Intelligence and Security (PJCIS) regarding the Inquiry into potential reforms of the National Security Legislation.
NSWCCL accepts the argument that there is a need to update and rework the relevant legislation in light of technological advances and successive amendments. However, neither of these drivers, in themselves, provides justification for an extension of powers or reduction in accountability for intelligence and law enforcement agencies, nor for the further erosion of individual privacy, civil liberties and democratic values.

Cry to Me
Posted by YesBiscuit on July 20, 2011
Henry's Great Escape
In Memory of Max
8 Comments
sad….so very sad for the ones who always love us…
REALLY?! Their grievance is that the web cams go to the internet where *mean people* can see them being cruel, lazy and abusive. Poor babies indeed.
There are times that I don't really like unions. This is one of them.
Is that really Hogan's signature on the grievance form?! Oh yea, I'm sure ALL the employees are affected…so why does the one they fired get to sign on the dotted line? Dumb luck I suppose.
Please note that Jon didn't file the grievance…
Can't wait to see that RFP. I'm thinkin' privatizing Animal Control (or at least the adoption half of the equation) might be the ticket to ditching the criminals AND the union.
did you see this? ugh. makes me want to puke.
i can't believe the reward's up to $11,000 now and still no word
@Nicci: that report makes me wanna bitchslap that smirk off Hogan's face. the whole thing stinks. I hope Max's family SUES THE CITY AND HOGAN on civil charges.
As for our poor poor Kapone, I am thinking that if $11,000 has not brought the ugly creatures out of the woodwork, well, just sayin'.
Where do I stand in line to get my bitch-slap in? And I'm sure there would be a long line. Isn't that smirk & face the evilest you've ever seen?
The form signed by D. Hogan appears she is also the union stewart. How does an evil person of such low character ever get promoted to that position and a union stewart? It shows me that whoever hired or promoted that kind of person obviously has a lack of judgement & is not much better.
She alone knows about Kapone & until she talks it's doubtful any answers will be forthcoming. $11,000 should loosen someone's lips if anyone else had answers locally. The persons holding Kapone may not know the amount of reward, especially in another state.
Yah, we can start a line for the bitch-slap. The reason people like her get to those positions if GREASING OF PALMS and I do say it goes all the way to AC and maybe beyond (imho). Also, I understand that the reward is still at $8000 or whatever it was before, the $11000 is apparently a mistake. Even so…she knows where Kapone is, dead or alive, and since the USA has decided that torture is okeydokey, why not try a little on her? As far as I am concerned, she deserves it.

The vampyre; a tale, p.1
The Vampyre; a Tale, p.1John William Polidori
A Tale.
By John William Polidori
[Entered at Stationers' Hall, March 27, 1819]
Gillet, Printer, Crown Court, Fleet Street, London.
"I breathe freely in the neighbourhood of this lake; the ground uponwhich I tread has been subdued from the earliest ages; the principalobjects which immediately strike my eye, bring to my recollectionscenes, in which man acted the hero and was the chief object ofinterest. Not to look back to earlier times of battles and sieges,here is the bust of Rousseau--here is a house with an inscriptiondenoting that the Genevan philosopher first drew breath under itsroof. A little out of the town is Ferney, the residence of Voltaire;where that wonderful, though certainly in many respects contemptible,character, received, like the hermits of old, the visits of pilgrims,not only from his own nation, but from the farthest boundaries ofEurope. Here too is Bonnet's abode, and, a few steps beyond, the houseof that astonishing woman Madame de Stael: perhaps the first of hersex, who has really proved its often claimed equality with, the noblerman. We have before had women who have written interesting novels andpoems, in which their tact at observing drawing-room characters hasavailed them; but never since the days of Heloise have those facultieswhich are peculiar to man, been developed as the possible inheritanceof woman. Though even here, as in the case of Heloise, our sex havenot been backward in alledging the existence of an Abeilard in theperson of M. Schlegel as the inspirer of her works. But to proceed:upon the same side of the lake, Gibbon, Bonnivard, Bradshaw, andothers mark, as it were, the stages for our progress; whilst upon theother side there is one house, built by Diodati, the friend of Milton,which has contained within its walls, for several months, that poetwhom we have so often read together, and who--if human passions remainthe same, and human feelings, like chords, on being swept by nature'simpulses shall vibrate as before--will be placed by posterity in thefirst rank of our English Poets. You must have heard, or the ThirdCanto of Childe Harold will have informed you, that Lord Byron residedmany months in this neighbourhood. I went with some friends a few daysago, after having seen Ferney, to view this mansion. I trod the floorswith the same feelings of awe and respect as we did, together, thoseof Shakespeare's dwelling at Stratford. I sat down in a chair of thesaloon, and satisfied myself that I was resting on what he had madehis constant seat. I found a servant there who had lived with him;she, however, gave me but little information. She pointed out hisbed-chamber upon the same level as the saloon and dining-room, andinformed me that he retired to rest at three, got up at two, andemployed himself a long time over his toilette; that he never went tosleep without a pair of pistols and a dagger by his side, and that henever ate animal food. He apparently spent some part of every day uponthe lake in an English boat. There is a balcony from the saloon whichlooks upon the lake and the mountain Jura; and I imagine, that it musthave been hence, he contemplated the storm so magnificently describedin the Third Canto; for you have from here a most extensive view ofall the points he has therein depicted. I can fancy him like thescathed pine, whilst all around was sunk to repose, still waking toobserve, what gave but a weak image of the storms which had desolatedhis own breast.
The sky is changed!--and such a change; Oh, night! And storm and darkness, ye are wond'rous strong, Yet lovely in your strength, as is the light Of a dark eye in woman! Far along From peak to peak, the rattling crags among, Leaps the lire thunder! Not from one lone cloud, But every mountain now hath found a tongue, And Jura answers thro' her misty shroud, Back to the joyous Alps who call to her aloud!
And this is in the night:--Most glorious night! Thou wer't not sent for slumber! let me be A sharer in thy far and fierce delight,-- A portion of the tempest and of me! How the lit lake shines a phosphoric sea, And the big rain comet dancing to the earth! And now again 'tis black,--and now the glee Of the loud hills shakes with its mountain mirth, As if they did rejoice o'er a young; earthquake's birth,
Now where the swift Rhine cleaves his way between Heights which appear, as lovers who have parted In haste, whose mining depths so intervene, That they can meet no more, tho' broken hearted; Tho' in their souls which thus each other thwarted, Love was the very root of the fond rage Which blighted their life's bloom, and then departed-- Itself expired, but leaving; them an age Of years all winter--war within themselves to wage.
I went down to the little port, if I may use the expression, whereinhis vessel used to lay, and conversed with the cottager, who had thecare of it. You may smile, but I have my pleasure in thus helping mypersonification of the individual I admire, by attaining to theknowledge of those circumstances which were daily around him. I havemade numerous enquiries in the town concerning him, but can learnnothing. He only went into society there once, when M. Pictet took himto the house of a lady to spend the evening. They say he is a verysingular man, and seem to think him very uncivil. Amongst other thingsthey relate, that having invited M. Pictet and Bonstetten to dinner,he went on the lake to Chillon, leaving a gentleman who travelled withhim to receive them and make his apologies. Another evening, beinginvited to the house of Lady D---- H----, he promised to attend,but upon approaching the windows of her ladyship's villa, andperceiving the room to be full of company, he set down his friend,desiring him to plead his excuse, and immediately returned home. Thiswill serve as a contradiction to the report which you tell me iscurrent in England, of his having been avoided by his countrymen onthe continent. The case happens to be directly the reverse, as he hasbeen generally sought by them, though on most occasions, apparentlywithout success. It is said, indeed, that upon paying his first visitat Coppet, following the servant who had announced his name, he wassurprised to meet a lady carried out fainting; but before he had beenseated many minutes, the same lady, who had been so affected at thesound of his name, returned and conversed with him a considerabletime--such is female curiosity and affectation! He visited Coppetfrequently, and of course associated there with several of hiscountrymen, who evinced no reluctance to meet him whom his enemiesalone would represent as an outcast.
Though I have been so unsuccessful in this town, I have been morefortunate in my enquiries elsewhere. There is a society three or fourmiles from Geneva, the centre of which is the Countess of Breuss, aRussian lady, well acquainted with the agremens de la Societe, and whohas collected them round herself at her mansion. It was chiefly here,I find, that the gentleman who travelled with Lord Byron, asphysician, sought for society. He used almost every day to cross thelake by himself, in one of their flat-bottomed boats, and return afterpassing the evening with his friends, about eleven or twelve at night,often whilst the storms were raging in the circling summits of themountains around. As he became intimate, from long acquaintance, withseveral of the families in this neighbourhood, I have gathered fromtheir accounts some excellent traits of his lordship's character,which I will relate to you at some future opportunity. I must,however, free him from one imputation attached to him--of having inhis house two sisters as the partakers of his revels. This is, likemany other charges which have been brought against his lordship,entirely destitute of truth. His only companion was the physician Ihave already mentioned. The report originated from the followingcircumstance: Mr. Per
Among other things which the lady, from whom I procured theseanecdotes, related to me, she mentioned the outline of a ghost storyby Lord Byron. It appears that one evening Lord B., Mr. P. B. Shelly,the two ladies and the gentleman before alluded to, after havingperused a German work, which was entitled Phantasmagoriana, beganrelating ghost stories; when his lordship having recited the beginningof Christabel, then unpublished, the whole took so strong a hold ofMr. Shelly's mind, that he suddenly started up and ran out of theroom.

Sharing the Vision
dear br. fagal,
because you offered your help to me i want to ask you for an item i found at your website.
i found it in the "ellen g. white document file". folder no. 4457 with following description "schuberth, henry franz 1868-1961 and 1) elizabeth blass 2) christine zybach -- biographical"
there is 1 item "reference and inventory sheet", just 1 page. is it possible to scan this document in order to send it here?
it would be great!
thanks for your help.
all the best
sincerely yours
Dear Brother ___________,
There is good news, and there is bad news. The good news is that you found reference to this material. The bad news is that I do not have it here. We have no folder by that number, nor do we have any other folder devoted to Brother Schuberth. The listing you found (in the "Archives" section of our website) is from our Loma Linda Branch Office. You will have to deal with them. Now here's more of the bad news: on the website, the first page that offers you access to these listings also says that they will not process requests for the material which come by phone or mail (and this probably includes email). One has to go there in person, or arrange for someone else to do so. You may contact the Loma Linda office if you wish, to see whether they might be willing to help you on this from afar. The worst that can happen is that they may say No. In that event, you might still find another way--someone you know in Loma Linda, perhaps?
The email address for the Loma Linda office is [email protected].
I'm sorry I couldn't help you directly with this. God bless!

Hello. I recently watched one of my favorite Disney movies, the 'Aristocats.' This movie follows four cats, who are stolen from their rich owner by her evil butler, Edgar. The first cat is the mother, named Duchess. The kittens go as follows, Marie, Toulouse, and Berlioz. The butler stole them and ditched them on a farm. He did this after finding out that the rich old woman who owned the cats was leaving all her possessions to them, not him. The cats seek to find their way home. On the way they meet an alley cat, whose name is very long; so I will call him Thomas O'Malley. The man who voices O'malley also voiced Little John from Robin Hood (see previous articles about movie), and Baloo from Jungle Book.
It seems strange to me that the only one of the cats at WDW meet and greets is Marie. It also seems strange that for a movie as popular as Aristocats, Edgar is not recognized as a Disney villain. Edgar is up there in evilness with Cruella Deville for trying to kill kittens. First, to get the cats out of the picture, he puts sleeping powder in their food. A mouse friend of theirs, Roquefort (who is voiced by Sterling Holloway, whom we posted on this week) also eats some. The cats all go to sleep, and then Edgar dumps them in a field. In the field Edgar has a run-in with two dogs. Later in the film, when Edgar sees the cats again, he tries to kill them.
The dogs offer great comic relief and are to me, the best part of the movie. They are voiced with the thick Southern accents of Pat Buttram and George Lindsey (Goober Pyle from the Andy Griffith Show). Lines like, "Where's my beddy-by basket!?" and "That's just a little 'ol cricket bug" never fail to make me laugh. I am sure that they don't sound very funny out of context, but in the movie they are hilarious.
The music for this movie is fun and memorable. It has one of my favorite songs, "O'Malley the Alley Cat." It is sung by my favorite Disney singer, Phil Harris (the voice of Thomas O'Malley). Another great song is "Scales and Arpeggios," sung by all the kitties. The other main song in this movie is "Everybody Wants to be a Cat" sung by famous jazz musician Scatman Crothers.
Aristocats is from my favorite era of Disney movies. The era from 101 Dalmations to The Fox and the Hound. Over all, this movie is a great Disney movie. It is for sure a classic!
**A bit of trivia about this movie: It was the first movie to be made after Walt Disney's death. I personally can't tell any difference.

I have a couple of Facebook friends who are gym rats.
You know the type – they post their little check-ins when they get to the gym of their choice – because if you don't check in with Facebook, it doesn't 'count.' They detail how many reps they did of this exercise or that one, and how fabulous they look. Sometimes, they offer up complaints of this soreness or that one from their exertions, anecdotes of locker room hysteria, or even "This guy was appreciative of my quads…maybe I should have asked for his number…"
Gym life…is actually a LIFE, complete with highs and lows and social expectations and anxieties.
Now, the Gym Life isn't for me, but those who commit to this discipline are still having a damn good LIFE. If the endorphin rush you get from repeatedly stressing your body to its muscular limits makes you happy…fabulous. Keep at it, and don't let anyone dissuade you from enjoying yourself.
Now that I've laid the groundwork…
I have this one friend who is a gym rat. He posts often enough about Leg Day.
Leg Day. You hate leg day, but you never skip leg day…because it's LEG Day!
Here's how I do leg day.
I don't hate leg day, though – I enjoy it…because that means my dragons can stand on their own.
I'm trying a different weave for my dragons' legs. Before, I've used a captured bead frame, and wired the legs for stability. Earlier this week, I dug out the tutorial for Captive Inverted Round (CIR) and made a couple of short strands to experiment with.
I'm loving CIR. It's a bit of a fussy weave, and the three connection/terminus points may make for a new challenge in attaching the leg to the body – but the weave is structural on its own, without the need for wire support.
I need another leg day to continue my experiments. With all the household stuff (laundry, groceries, dishes) and having a voting day and the SQO's mother's birthday this week, I've been banned from my workbench for anything longer than a few minutes to glance longingly at the leg bits and half-constructed dragon form.
I might just have to go to the gym 🙂

The first trailer for actor/writer/director Warren Beatty's upcoming, light-hearted romantic drama Rules Don't Apply tried to do too much. It attempted to tell of a star-crossed romance between two conservative young adults from not-all-that dissimilar backgrounds (played by Lily Collins and Alden Ehrenreich) set in the backdrop of the 1950s Hollywood movie-making scene and all of its well-known tropes, while under the controlling–and perhaps crazy–command of billionaire Howard Hughes (Beatty).
This new trailer goes a long way toward streamlining things. The hands-off relationship between Collins and Ehrenreich–which is complicated thanks to Hughes' rules, Collins' religious views, and Ehrenreich's own relationship with his fiancée–takes center stage, with Hughes' odd behavior acting as a comedic color to the tale. The Hollywood stereotypes are still in full force, however they don't overwhelm the message quite as much as they did in the previous trailer. If you're looking for a bit of light romantic drama told with a relatively heavier hand, Rules Don't Apply should be up your alley
Also starring Alec Baldwin, Annette Bening, Haley Bennett, Candice Bergen, Matthew Broderick, Dabney Coleman, Steve Coogan, Taissa Farmiga, Ed Harris, Megan Hilty, Oliver Platt, and Martin Sheen, Rules Don't Apply opens November 23rd.
Check out the new trailer below:

A Panzhihua City, Sichuan Province resident died less than nine months after he began serving time for his faith in Falun Gong at a prison in Yunnan Province.
The 65-year-old man suffered several strokes and had dangerously high blood pressure, but was repeatedly denied medical parole, for not renouncing his faith, a mind-body discipline that has been persecuted by the communist regime since 1999.
Mr. Liao Jianfu's death was preceded by two prior prison terms totalling 10.5 years, between 2002 and 2013.
Mr. Liao was last arrested in October 2016 for putting up informational posters about Falun Gong. Three other practitioners who were with him, Mr. Song Nansu (70), Mr. Fu Wende (70), and Mr. Zhou Fuming (in his sixties), were also arrested.
The four practitioners appeared at the Yuping County Court on March 22, 2018. They were frequently interrupted by the judge as they read their defence statements. The judge then sentenced Mr. Liao to four years in prison, Mr. Song and Mr. Fu to three-and-a-half years, and Mr. Zhou to two years.
Mr. Liao, Mr. Fu, and Mr. Zhou were transferred to the Yunnan Province No. 1 Prison, and Mr. Song to Yunnan Province No. 2 Prison on August 21, 2018.
While imprisoned, Mr. Liao had cerebral haemorrhaging on multiple occasions, but prison authorities refused to release him on medical bail.
