One thing I really love is a nice hot bath. I also love a good noosing. Putting the two together is heaven!
i rig a noose in my pink bathtub so that I can soak in the tub and play. The result is a softly filmed **********-fest where I ******** repeatedly while thrashing and splashing in water. Slipping in the tub pulls the noose ever tighter, while the water caresses my *********** body before I come to and drop myself down again into blissful oblivion.
bath time has never been so good, or so bad!
contains: nudity, bathing, noose, **********, passing out, eye rolling, tongue action, splashing, bathtub fantasy.

Valentine's Day is fast approaching, but at Grand Canyon, love is always in the air. Whether exchanging vows or honeymooning, many couples turn to the Canyon as the perfect place to take the plunge (figuratively we hope).
However, the experience is not always peaches and crème. Honeymooners Glen & Bessie Hyde put their marital vows to the ultimate test in 1929 during their ill-fated solo journey through the Canyon on a homemade boat.
When they failed to emerge from the Canyon on schedule, a search party was dispatched. Their abandoned boat was found—but no trace of the Hydes. Bessie's diary, and witness accounts from encounters upstream, indicated that the hardships of life on the turbulent river placed a severe strain on the lover's relationship.
But don't let that keep you from bringing your sweetheart to the Grand Canyon. A stroll along the rim can be a great bonding experience—for better or worse.
To learn more about the Hydes I strongly recommend Brad Dimock's award-wining, Sunk Without A Sound.

The Big 1-0-0
Actually, my 101.6th, but who's counting?
That is since March 1.
I realize 100 miles is a mere blip for far more serious athletes than I, but I still can't believe I've done it.
Somehow, I've managed every morning before work – except the one day I was sick – to drag my butt out of bed and onto the treadmill.
That has to be amazing to the people who know me, because they know I love to sleep.
So, what keeps me going?
Well, when I quit smoking four years ago, probably more overriding than any other motivation I had was the fact that I never, ever wanted to go through quitting again.
I knew that if I could get through the strong withdrawals and habits, I'd be OK. That someday I wouldn't think about a cigarette all hours of the day.
To be honest, it was probably a good year before that happened, but it happened.
And I never wanted to have to endure the misery of getting to that point of relief again.
That's what keeps me going on this weight loss journey, too.
I never want to get back to the point where I was.
Where taking the stairs took all my breath.
Where 1 mile on the treadmill felt like 10.
Where grocery shopping left me aching and exhausted.
And I never, ever want to be able to say again that I'm the biggest I've ever been.
Here's hoping …

I enjoyed the plateau piece as well. I think our minds hit plateaus as well as our bodies.
Keep it up - you have 26 reasons to be proud and a lifetime to be healthier because of the change in habits.

The Minutemen were able to hold their own against the Apaches through most of the game. After a series of tough calls, Arcadia pulled ahead to win 21-20.
According to Coach Bogan, it was still a good game. During the post game huddle, Coach assured the players that he is still proud of them and that they played extremely well.

More than 100 people packed the Great Hall of the Atheneum library Monday night to hear Richmond Group developer Phil Pastan outline his development plans for the Old South Road corridor that include a 38,500-square-foot supermarket on the current site of the Valero family garden center and a major commercial makeover of land formerly owned by Walter Glowacki on the other side of the road.
The development plans ��presented at a public forum sponsored by the Nantucket Civic League also attended by planning director Andrew Vorce, deputy planning director Leslie Snell and transportation planner Mike Burns � hinge on a zoning change at the April 5 Annual Town meeting that would exempt the two properties from the 20,000-square-foot cap on commercial buildings in the neighborhood. If the change is not approved, neither the supermarket nor a second potential 45,000 square-foot building on the former Glowacki property could be built.
If the zoning change is approved � which requires a two-thirds majority of the Town Meeting voters in attendance � Pastan estimated it would take a year to work through the regulatory process and another year to build a supermarket on the Valero property. He has a 10-year development plan for the former Glowacki property, with the construction of the 45,000-square foot building likely coming toward the end of the process. Pastan declined to identify potential tenant or even a use for the proposed building, but said his intention was to attract a local business to the space.
"There will never be another supermarket on Nantucket if the zoning doesn�t change. They simply can�t compete," said Pastan, who added that he's currently in discussion with representatives of three markets, but declined to identify them.
Traffic concerns, which were acknowledged as a major concern generated by the proposal, will be addressed by the Planning Board during the regulatory process, Vorce said.

Breakfast at Walt Disney World is a tricky thing for me. I need something substantial enough to get me through a very busy morning of touring but that won't weigh me down in the heat and on my favorite coasters. Fruit is a bonus and I'm addicted to carbs. I'll take pancakes over bacon and eggs any day of the week, even Sunday. Some other prerequisites are affordable and relatively quick.
After reading The Disney Food Blog, I thought I had a contender for my ideal Magic Kingdom Breakfast item and I'm happy to report that it lived up to my expectations. Sleepy Hollow Refreshments in Liberty Square offers Waffle with Nutella and Fruit. The only three food groups that matter (to me at least) – carbs, chocolate, and fruit – are in one satisfying breakfast item for $5.99.
My husband and I stopped at Sleepy Hollow mid-morning and were able to walk right up to the window to place our order. The only wait we had was a good one. Our waffle was prepared fresh. The thick waffle was similar in size to the ones you make yourself at hotels that offer hot breakfast items. I found the Nutella slathered on top to be in perfect proportion to the size and thickness of the waffle. There was enough to go around and it brought the waffle and fruit together without overpowering any flavors or adding too much sweetness. The strawberries, bananas, and blueberries were obviously very fresh, perfectly ripe, and unbruised. There was no cloying syrup masking imperfections in lower-quality fruit.
This waffle called for a knife and fork even though you could theoretically fold the waffle like a taco and eat it with one hand. Even shared, for me this waffle was very filling without being heavy-handed and at $5.99 it was a great value.
Now that I've shared my perfect Magic Kingdom breakfast item, what is yours?

We brought the hand auger out, be it a very fast / expensive hand auger and I started to drill holes as I do (20-30 at a time). When I was finished drilling I gave August an instructional on how the flasher worked so he could see fish, we grabbed a bucket for him and placed him in 9 feet of water with standing weed 3 feet high. The fish were there, but it took August a bit to get the hang of jigging, then setting the hook. He moved to a couple different holes and I came over once again to help him out. I talked him through the process and BAM! He hooks up with his first fish! That was a moment and a smile I will never forget! After that, he had it down, moving from hole to hole, catching fish after fish.
I had a great day too, not only sharing the joy of August catching fish, and fishing with my family, but I did well fishing too.

There are days when I seriously don't want to be connected to the internet 24/7. Where all I want to do is be as disconnected from it as possible. Because I hate that people can get in touch with me all the time. And that I'm never truly by myself. And that there's always someone that wants me to do something even if I haven't seen them in ages. I hate it. Absolutely hate it.
And have you noticed how you can never truly disconnect? How at every corner there's an opportunity to connect to some free wifi? You are never free from those emails, whatsapp messages? Not even for a second now a days. Don't get me wrong, of course it's good every now and again, but ALL the time is a little bit too much.
Oh! And don't you hate the amount of apps there are? There are too many! Which sounds really – in a way – spoilt. But there are too many! I wish it was simple again. Like it used to be. I miss those brick phones that I simply used as an actual phone. And which I occasionally used to play snakes on. Oh, those were the days! When the only apps you had were your phone book and games. What good times.
But who am I kidding? It's a choice that I can make. If I really want to disconnect, all I have to do is turn my phone off for a day and not go on the computer. Maybe even rock up to the library on a more frequent basis for something OTHER than revision. But for the massive amount of books that they have locked up in there. Discover new things, learn how to knit maybe, at the LIBRARY no less!
Oh, that would be fun. That would be really fun. 🙂

The term "vulgar libertarians" was coined by Kevin Carson in his Mutualist Blog to describe libertarians whom he views as cheerleaders for crony capitalism and big business, which exist to the detriment of consumers and workers.
Mutualist Carson is sometimes labeled a thick libertarian, along with other prefixed libertarians: Left-Libertarians, Bleeding Heart Libertarians and others who add to the libertarian non-aggression principle (NAP) their opposition to all oppression: sexism, racism, wage labor, religious hierarchy and other concerns (both real and imagined).
A new blog–the "VULGAR LIBERTARIANS"–proudly wears Carson's name tag, apparently embracing the word "vulgar" in its primary dictionary meaning: "generally used, applied, or accepted." These "vulgar" libertarians proclaim an unhyphenated libertarianism that sticks to the basics, i.e. the non-aggression principle. As this post notes: "The prefixed libertarians may claim that they have gone "beyond" libertarianism, we contend that they haven't reached it yet."
Thick and thin are not that far apart
To some extent, the thick and thin libertarians talk past one another. Both harbor suspicions that the other would use force to achieve their own goals. The truth is that thin libertarians really do believe in the NAP and would gladly strip away every vestige of crony capitalism: no more monopoly privileges, government licensing, bailouts or regulations. Such changes would create many opportunities, especially for the poor.
"Thick" libertarians are quite vocal about the importance of such changes, but a substantial portion of those view such changes as the natural results of liberty, not some private agenda they would see tacked on to the NAP.
These are good reasons for a clean unencumbered libertarianism which raises no barriers to those who have differing viewspoints.
Vulgar libertarians and property titles
We vulgar- thin- plain vanilla- libertarians need to keep in mind that the thick or left-libertarians have one issue that cannot be evaded once we achieve liberty. The issue is one of property titles.
If tomorrow there were no government to say who owned what, would we all agree that each person owns that property which he possesses at that moment? Or would it be fair to assume that each person would own whatever the (now-defunct) government would have said she owned the day before it was dissolved? This issue cannot be evaded. Murray Rothbard writes about the mythical kingdom of Ruritania on the eve of its overthrow by libertarian rebels:
The king, seeing the revolt to be imminently successful, now employs a cunning stratagem. He proclaims his government to be dissolved, but just before doing so he arbitrarily parcels out the entire land area of his kingdom to the "ownership" of himself and his relatives. He then goes to the libertarian rebels and says: "all right, I have granted your wish, and have dissolved my rule; there is now no more violent intervention in private property. However, myself and my eleven relatives now each own one-twelfth of Ruritania, and if you disturb us in this ownership in any way, you shall be infringing upon the sanctity of the very fundamental principle that you profess: the inviolability of private property. Therefore, while we shall no longer be imposing 'taxes,' you must grant each of us the right to impose any 'rents' that we may wish upon our 'tenants,' or to regulate the lives of all the people who presume to live on 'our' property as we see fit.
~ Murray Rothbard, The Ethics of Liberty, Chapter 9
Obviously, property titles will be up for grabs if those titles are known to be the result of theft. There will have to be some consensus regarding who shall own formerly-public property, which–with few exceptions–was acquired by theft.
Shall public schools be owned by the teachers? by the students? Perhaps the streets would be acquired by the adjacent property owners. Public utilities might end up as cooperatives owned by their customers, and so on. These matters can be worked out.
Property titles will always be questionable if they were granted as a government favor. Some commentators suggest that quasi-private institutions–largely or wholly funded by government–such as universities, hospitals or military arms manufacturers should be re-distributed. And it gets trickier.
Far-left-libertarians, looking to further the class struggle, believe that capital goods properly belong to whomever is occupying or using the property. It is difficult to imagine the workers taking ownership of every privately-owned factory; each renter claiming title to every house or apartment he occupies, and not encountering enormous resistance, even bloodshed.
These are issues that some "thick" libertarians present. They are worth thinking over, but they do not define libertarianism and should not limit the movement.

Welcome to Shoestring Gaming, the weekly segment where we try to help you find some great deals while still keeping within your budget. This week for you readers we have some great games from GOG and Steam, as well as pointing out some of the great free games on consoles.
First up from GOG, Terraria is currently 25%, off meaning that you can get this great 2D open world game to do with what you please. In Terraria, you can choose to do whatever you want, whether it be fight, explore or build. Take on all manners of creatures from rabbits and skeletons, all the way to flying giant eyeballs—and that's meant to be the easy boss. Head left, or even right, and see what the world is like that surrounds you, as each world is generated as you walk around. Finally, with all of the drops from monsters and resources from across your world, you're able to build a village and get NPCs to come and create a community. This is as great a time as ever to join Terraria as the latest update gives players plenty more to do in the world.
Secondly, if you would rather a 3D open world than a 2D open world, then you can get Sleeping Dogs: Definitive Edition for 75% off; the only catch is that this promotion ends very shortly, so be sure to grab it fast if you want to. In Sleeping Dogs, you get to live the life of Wei Shen, an undercover cop in Hong Kong, who is trying to take down the triads from the inside out. This game takes the open world adventures of games like GTA and puts you in the gritty underworld of Hong Kong, where you can partake in illegal street races and bet on cock fights in your down time. The Definitive Edition also gives you all 24 previously released DLC expansions.
Finally, for the Xbox and PlayStation users, a new month means new free games for GWG or PS+. This month Xbox One users get Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag and So Many Me; Xbox 360 users get Plants Vs Zombies and Gears of War 3; PlayStation 4 users get Rocket League and Styx; PlayStation 3 users get Rain; those with a PSVita will get Geometry Wars 3; and all Playstation consoles get MouseCraft and Entwined. If there isn't a game in there that's worth owning, then I don't know what you'll appreciate at all.
What do you think of this weeks selection of games? Are there any places you go to to look for fantastic sales? Are there any big deals that I have missed?

Replace a positive battery cable by removing the old cables from the battery and then removing the other end from the starter solenoid. Attach a new cable of the same length to the solenoid and then to the positive terminal of the battery.
If the vehicle's stereo unit has an anti-theft code, write down the code or deactivate the feature before beginning the process.
Remove any protective plastic terminal cover and disconnect the negative cable from the battery. Do the same with the positive cable. Disconnect the opposite end of the positive cable from the starter solenoid. Note the routing of the positive cable before removing it.
Using a new cable of the same length and gauge as the old cable, route it through the engine compartment the same way as the old cable. Ensure the connection on the starter is clean, and install the cable on the starter solenoid. Clean the positive post of the battery with a brush and attach and tighten the positive cable to the post. Clean the negative battery post and attach and tighten the negative cable.
To prevent corrosion, use some petroleum jelly or battery corrosion inhibitor on each of the battery posts and cable terminals.

So by afternoon we had decided to try are luck again fishin' fer junk. We just got payed a nice chunk o change, m0 went right out and got him something fancy installed on his blaster not sure what it does but I am sure it will save our hides at some point. So we head back out into the godforsaken wasteland of this wonderful crapheap of a planet lookin fer more junk. We cruise along for a spell and we come across powerline splice converter of some sort, I take the wheel and bring her down and Cat, m0 and Lehreq drop down onto a garbage heap to bring her up, this one here was about a 15 footer so we gotta be careful cinching her down.
So we is thinkin we done good and somehow Winter spots something else, they call it a phase transformer or something like that, so the 3 drop back down and give her a go, this one is attached to some big motor or something like that, the attached part was the problem m0 tries man handlin or droid handlin it but she wouldn't budge, eventually he finds a torch or something that just cuts the blasted thing off….hey moneys money right?
So we is heading back and Winter spots a bunch of smelly jawas flappin their arms and talking nonsense while they is fishin out some old droid. Sensing an opportunity we head that way to see steal a bit from the thieves themselves. I figure the best place fer me is on the skiff, now I love just about everybody but Jawas aint everybody, they are little creeps that steal and lie. I aint got no place in my heart for them so I figure it's better to just stay on board and let them work out a deal. You should have seen their creepy little eyes flicker when they saw m0f0, almost like they were in love or something…..that right there aint healthy you know, but in their lust I believe our crew might have got the better of them, somehow we got 4 servos out of them, that's a right nice profit if you ask me.
Now about this time we sold our junk, collected our money and were heading back towards the hotel to relax a bit, m0f0 decides he is gonna go take another bath, he is a weird one, maybe if he sticks around and I get my ship back we will make up some sorta bath for him Winter decides to follow concerned about the jawa lust for the droid. I am of the thinkin a bath around these parts makes you stand out like a sore thumb. So wes walkin and a Niemodian bumps up against me and the next thing you know I got a note in my hand saying meet me behind the corvette, not sure what kinda pickle I was getting into I ask Pand to watch my back. Lehreq had left to go check on Cortana. So I meet this feller and he tells me I need to do a job, Once I figure out what kinda job it is my blood runs cold, I don't like these folks much but I figure what I am doing can only help the cause. Its part of the job, pick up a "special box" hide her on the ship and drop her off someplace else, milk run easy stuff, however this aint milk and this is gonna cause a stir back at the wheel.
Ensured that all is well We head to the cantina to relax a bit, we chit chat with the regulars a bit and Lehreq gets baited into a dice game, I think he is expecting a fair game but there is no honor among thieves. Pand and I kinda keep a close eye just to make sure Lehreq does not get swindled out of his servo money. So there is a human, a Wookie and a solastad at the table. Ima watchin them dice and kinda focusing on that Solostad, something aint right about this, having played a few games of dice I get a feel for how they roll and these aint right, I walk over to Pand and tell her he switched out them dice, sure enough the Solostad goes on a run and starts taking everyone's money, the Wookie is getting HOT, Pand forces the issue and calls him out on his cheatin, after a bit of heated back and forth Ima watchin to see where he was gonna unload his dice, shore enough he raises his hands and I catch a dice flying across the bar, slicker then jawa turds that one is. I go fetch it and the jig is up. The Wookie wants to tear him apart but Lehreq calms him down enough to keep the peace. The Bartender gives us free drinks for the night…..all is well or so we thought.|
Now about that time Nortah arrives to tell us the Jawas have come…..yippee! Well apparently they bring some travelling junk show with them to this area of the planet a few times a month and it's a big whoopteeee do. So we make our way towards these caves, actually the bucket is parked there so I figure what the heck they can look thru the junk and I can check on our big pile o junk. The group goes to check on the crap fer sale and I head to the ship, shore enough when I get there I see two of the little rats fiddling with the door of the bucket, I pull my blaster and tell them to get their hands of my door you dirty apes! Turns out these little apes were in fact Rodians it was a trap! That's about the time all hell broke loose. Lehreq charges fearlessly, m0f0 opens up and shows what that modification to his blaster was all about, Pand opens up on a bunch, I get the ramp down to the ship thinking we may need to get out of here right quick. I grab my precious cargo and stow that away and head back down to help out ma friends. Thinking this trap was more sinister then what's immediately in front of us Winter cuts to go check on Harsol and Cortana, m0 wisely follows Winter just in case. These Rodians had some grenades withem and gets one right up the exhaust port of the bucket……we could have problems…..big problems.
Winter heads towards the hotel, comes across a man with some sorta detonator device, apparently she clips him then m0 finishes the deal, the detonator is secure. Then they move to the hotel to secure Harsol and Cortana. Lehreq stays near the ship and moves over to the other cave to make sure its secure, I hear some ruckus and figure I better go help, I turn the corner and see Lehreq playing games with the Rodians blaster makin it float in the air, as brilliant as that boy is sometimes he tries to be too cute about thangs, so whilst lehreq is making blasters float I take one to the face and float myself for a second before the hard ground finds me, whooo doggie that was just about then end for me. I recover enough to help lehreq finish off the last of these rodians, With the last of our immediate troubles solved for the minute, we gotta regroup and figure out what they hell we are gonna do now…..

In Part 1 we explored the basic concepts of the integration between MS Word, BI Publisher and OBIEE. We saw that BI Publisher can be used as a sort of "interface" between MS Office (Word or Excel) and OBIEE, whereby one can leverage the best-of-breed functionality of both tools: the layout functionality of MS Office and the data consolidation & warehousing functionality of OBIEE.
In particular we demonstrated how Word could be used to design a custom layout (in RTF format) for an existing Answers Request.
In this example we will use Word to design another simple RTF layout, but this time we will apply it directly against the OBIEE Subject Area itself. This approach eliminates the need to rely on an Answers Request -- instead the data set will be defined within BI Publisher using the Subject Area as a type of SQL data source.
- Create report and data model
Login to BI Publisher
click My Folders > Create new report >
Enter Report Name = "BI Publisher Subject Area" > Create >
click My Folders > BI Publisher Subject Area > Edit >
click Report > Data Model > New >
Name = "Sample Sales: Basic facts"
Type = SQL Query
Data Source: Oracle BI EE
click Query Builder >
- Use Query Builder to define data model
Catalog: Sample Sales ...
Note that BI Publisher has truncated the subject area name "Simple Sales Reduced"
In left-hand nav window:
click Facts Revenue >
click Products >
click Time >
In Model window:
select Facts Revenue > Revenue >
select Products > Brand >
select Time > Year >
click Save > (for Query Builder)
click Save > (for the Report itself)
- Open MS Word and create simple layout using data fields from OBIEE
click Add-ins > Oracle BI Pulisher > Log on [same user/pw as login to BI Publisher]
click Add-ins > Oracle BI Pulisher > Open
click My folders > Reports > BI Publisher Subject Area > Layout Templates > Open Layout Template
click Add-ins > Oracle BI Pulisher > Insert > All fields
Note the insertion of the data field tags "Revenue", "Brand", "Year", but also note the "F" and "E" tags before and after the data tags - these are "For/Each" tags that allow iteration through the entire dataset which we will see demonstrated in a bit
- Save template as RTF and upload to OBIEE
click Add-ins > Oracle BI Pulisher > Upload Template As...
[accept RTF prompt and save as RTF template]
Template Name = "All Fields"
View resultsReturn to BI Publisher]
My Folders > BI Publisher Subject Area > View
Note the Template used for this view is the same we just uploaded: "All Fields"
With these simple exercises we covered the essential features of the BI Publisher / OBIEE integration and actually touched on quite a few features of BI Publisher and the MS Word add-in.
To explore further, try experimenting with other features - For example:
Use BI Publisher's Query Builder to interface with more complicated Subject Areas and build more complicated queries
- Play with the Word Add-in's "Insert" feature combined with Word's full native formatting functionality to build charts, prospectus-quality layouts, and form letters based on OBIEE data
- "View" and "Export" the BI Publisher reports in different formats (PDF, Excel, PowerPoint etc)
- Use the BI Publisher "Send" feature to FTP a PDF version to a document repository site (or to email the doc every morning at 9:00 am - this feature will require advanced configuration of the Scheduler component)
- Explore the functionality of the Excel add-in
Have fun!

AFTER launching our campaign for more affordable health insurance yesterday, I received an interesting message via Twitter. The message read: "We have discount health cover. It's called Medicare."
However, millions of Australians are pushed have more than the protection of Medicare because of the Medicare Levy Surcharge, which now takes up to another 1.5 per cent of your income if you earn over a set amount and don't have private health insurance.
These people - who have been all but forced to take out private health cover - have watched their premiums risen at twice the pace of inflation over the past decade. The cost has doubled while general prices have only gone up by about 50 per cent.
We want to provide some relief from these oversized year-on-year rises. That's why we have begun a push for the first discount health insurance open to all Australians.
At the moment, significant discounts are only available to people at large workplaces or those who have paid to join unions or organisations such as motoring groups.
For a café owner or a mechanic it's hard to get more than 4 per cent off. To get that you have to agree to a direct debit.
We're aiming for 10 per cent off. Permanently. The law limits insurers from offering more than 12 per cent off.
In order to have the necessary negotiating power we believed we needed at least 25,000 people to sign up to the campaign.
We gave ourselves a month to reach that target. We hit it today - just after 1pm on the second day of the campaign.
Private health insurance is emerging as a cost of living pressure point for families and individuals. For a family it's the biggest outlay after the mortgage and in some cases, school fees.
Hopefully we can raise the level of competition in private health and, in doing so, offer some relief from its increasing cost.
There is no cost or obligation in registering to be part of the campaign at www.bighealthinsuranceswitch.com.
News Limited does not make any money. Our campaign partner, One Big Switch, will earn a commission for people who ultimately decide to take up the winning offer. It has said that part of that commission will be donated to a health-related charity.
I'd encourage you to sign up today, as I have done. You have nothing to lose - other than 10 per cent off your premiums.

Tips in Finding the Best Furniture Assembly Companies
You start by making sure that the furniture assembly company you are hiring offers pick up, delivery and after work clean up services. You find that this services are important since this materials dealing with furniture assembly are very bulky and difficult to carry. This is important as it will save you a lot of time and money that you would have used in transporting the furniture.

this is an art blog, riiight?
ha, and just because this IS an art blog, here are some "Work In Progress" shots of a crowd model I'm doing for our Senior Film: Butcher'd Meats.
There is still a lot of things that need a LOT of work. But like I said, he's a work in progress. Sorry about the extremely lengthy post preceding this one... I just felt I had to do it, LOL.

O-M-Goodness, I got an internship
So I was reeally hoping to get picked up this summer for an internship making video games. I applied at just about every place I could think of and waited anxiously for their replies. I started getting some rejection letters, and then I saw a lot of my fellow animators here at BYU getting some really sweet deals with some awesome studios (i.e. Microsoft Games, Disney Interactive, BLIZZARD... and they totally deserve it, too; they're much better artists than me, lol), and I was starting to think that there wasn't going to be a place that would accept me. :(
However, if the gigantic image at the header of this post gave you any clue, this past week I was incredibly blessed and so ridiculously lucky as to receive an offer from the wonderful people at Sony Online Entertainment to work in their Denver, CO studio!!! My interviewer/future supervisor told me that I'd be working full-time on an exciting new project involving the Magic: The Gathering trading card game, which just so happens to be one of my guilty pleasures! Even now after the initial rush has worn off, it is still hard to contain my excitement and sheer giddiness at the thought of this amazing opportunity that has been so miraculously placed in front of me.
Exhibit A:
HA! So these days I've been spending my in-between time reading and filling out the paperwork they sent me (there's a lot...) and trying to plan how everything is going to work out, logistically, financially, etc. If anyone reading this knows of some good deals on housing near the Coors Field area of Denver and the best ways to get around, I would greatly appreciate any and all advice concerning these things.
Thanks everyone who follows this blog and for showing your support throughout these past few years. I feel so overwhelmed by the immense magnitude of all these blessings and opportunities that have been provided for me - getting into BYU, getting into the BYU Animation program, learning from such great professors, having such great friends and classmates, having loving and supportive family members - it is just all too much! Thank you all for getting me to where I am today!

Jill Bucy Skincare has been providing Seattle's only French-style facial services since 2006. Since we opened, we've fast become a Seattle favorite, with a coterie of enthusiastic customers and wonderful press. No technique or approach is effective without compassionate practitioner for whom care of the skin and related systems is a passion. Our clients appreciate the difference that a classical French approach to skincare makes in achieving youthful appearance.
Svetlana Ponomareva, owner, master esthetician, and certified Reiki practitioner. Svetlana has come to Jill Bucy Skincare with a true passion for the French techniques. She has been extensively trained in the BIOLOGIQUE RECHERCHE Methodologies both in an internship with Jill Bucy as well as advanced training with the top educators from Paris. Svetlana has very loyal and strong following and is an asset in our quest to create beautiful skin. She believes that glowing skin comes from within, as well from an excellent skincare regime. "It's how you eat, your attitude, and taking great care of your skin," Svetlana says.
She grew up in Russia in a family of artists and was always drawn to beauty.
"I was not born with perfect skin and wondered if it was possible to make your skin flawless and beautiful. Before BIOLOGIQUE RECHERCHE, I didn't know much about French skincare. From the first day, I was astonished. I got a feeling, this is it. The French technique and philosophy feels so organic and so right. It's the only skincare that changed my skin quickly"
Brynn Strader is a skilled esthetician, receiving her certification with Biologique Recherche in New York and mastering the protocols of both Jill Bucy Skincare and Biologique Recherche. Brynn's beliefs align with the JBS and Biologique Recherche philosophy of using state-of-the-art products and non-invasive treatments to customize a skincare program. "I like that Biologique Recherche is focused more on developing an effective daily skincare routine, rather than relying solely on treatments to have great skin." And she couldn't be more excited to get her hands on clients' skin. "I like seeing a client come in and knowing that I can help her to relax, even temporarily. Touch is very important and a lot of people don't have nearly enough human contact. I enjoy having a one-on-one connection and focusing exclusively on a client's specific needs." And she also loves the results: glowing skin and a relaxed, more centered demeanor.

Ong Kim Swee introduced new faces in his Harimau Malaya debut but did not manage to secure a win against the spirited Philippines.
BY AZUAN SYAH Follow on Twitter
The home side started off well with defender Amiridzwan Taj headed the ball into the net in the 12th minute but was disallowed by the referee as he was caught pushing another player.
Four minutes later, another chance appeared for Harimau Malaya but skipper Aidil Zafuan hit the crossbar after he headed a corner kick from Nazrin Nawi.
The hosts continued to showcase their superiority in this first half, with Nazrin Nawi looking particularly threatening at left flank and it was his cross that almost led to goal after it was headed by Safiq Rahim, but again it was denied by the crossbar.
Amri Yahyah almost came close on the 19th minutes, with Hafiz Kamal's amazing through ball into the path of the striker, whose effort from the edge of the box hit the woodwork.
Malaysia continued to pile on the pressure on the Philippines with striker Safee Sali spurneing a chance to score a goal in the 38th minute after his effort was comfortably saved by custodian Patrick Phillip Deyto.
After being overrun in the first half, the visitors double their efforts to push up front and almost got the lead in the 60th minute after a move on the left flank found James Younghusband who unleashed a
fierce shot from inside the box only to be saved by custodian Khairul Azhan.
Malaysia tried to get their momentum back after being overrun by Philippines from the start of the second half with the partnership of Amri Yahyah and Mahali Jasuli from the right flank almost brought a goal for S. Kunalan in the 70th minute after he missed by a few inches from Amri Yahyah's cross.
Three minutes later, Safee Sali who was seen quiet in the second half, fired a shot from 20 yards but the ball went wide.
Four minutes before the end, Mahali Jasuli made a surging run from the right flank and turned his marker inside out before unleashing a shot with his left foot but it hit side netting.
The visitors came close just before the final minute with Maria De Jong making a run from a counter attack going past three defenders with just the goalkeeper to beat but Asraruddin Putra Omar turned hero as he managed to clear the ball away.
In the end, Malaysia failed to utilise their far more superior ball possession and home advantage with the much needed clinical finishing as a sturdy Phillippines side will be happy with the hard fought
valuable draw.

The Yes Men Are Revolting
Tribeca Film Institute | Candescent Award
The Yes Men are Revolting was a Candescent Award winner at the 2014 Toronto International Film Festival. The Candescent Award was created by Lilly Hartley in partnership with the Tribeca Film Institute (TFI) and is awarded to powerful social issues films that were supported by TFI during production. Eligible films do not need to premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival. As a New Yorker, Hartley wanted to cultivate and support the educational programs Tribeca created that help young people gain the media skills necessary to be productive global citizens and creative individuals. We admire TFI's work in championing storytellers to be catalysts for change in their communities and around the world.
For the last 20 years, notorious activists the Yes Men have staged outrageous and hilarious hoaxes to draw international attention to corporate crimes against humanity and the environment. Armed with nothing but thrift-store suits and a lack of shame, these iconoclastic revolutionaries lie their way into business events and government functions to expose the dangers of letting greed run our world. In their third cinematic outing, they prepare to take on the biggest challenge they've ever faced: climate change.

|Dil Na Jaane Kyun
|Atif Aslam, Anushka Manchanda
|DJ Kiran Kamath, Atif Aslam
1. Aa Bhi Ja Mere Mehermaan
Singer : Atif Aslam
"Aa Bhi Ja Mere Mehermaan" was the first single to be released from "Jayanta Bhai Ki Luv Story" & it has the fan-favorite Atif Aslam helming the vocals. The song starts off in a gothic fashion with hummings, followed by Atif Aslam's regular, familiar singing. The entire song is distinctly separable into two layers. One – Atif Aslam's singing hitting high notes frequently(as he usually does) & two – the gothic humming portion coupled with instrumentations which are used in the prelude, interludes.
2. Hai Na
Singers : Atif Aslam, Priya Panchal
A rocking song ! This is a superb composition which never lets out the listeners off its hook. The guitar pieces are very distinct. Out of all the songs Atif has sung in this album, this is his best one. Priya Panchal is equally good too. The "Maine Bhi" segment nails this song. Must hear !
3. Thoda Thoda
Singers : Sachin, Shreya Ghoshal
Thoda Thoda is a breezy, soft duet which is catchy from the word go. This is the only non-Atif sung number in the album. The male vocals are helmed by the composer himself & Shreya Ghoshal is excellent as usual. The song has some interesting lyrics thrown in too.
4. Dil Na Jaane Kyun
Singers : Atif Aslam, Anushka Manchanda
A party, club number ! Though the synthesizers find its place in every modern day album, this one is too good to ignore. Anushka Manchanda completely dominates the song & she has done complete justice to this song. Atif Aslam is good too but, its Anushka's show all the way.
5. Mashup
Singers : DJ Kiran Kamath, Atif Aslam
This is just an additional entry in the soundtrack. It cannot definitely feature in the movie. This might still be played in DJ's, clubs. Basically, this number is a well made mashup of songs from the entire album.
Planned or coincidentally, Vivek Oberoi's most movies have good music – Saathiya, Kyun Ho Gaya Na, Prince, Kisna, Yuva, Road to name a few. Since this movie is being made under the famed Tips banner, this movie had all possibilities to join that list with some really foot-tapping, soul stirring music. Atif Aslam has sung it in his typical fashion with his voice taking centre stage but the real drawback is that Atif Aslam has sung so many songs of this genre that it looks as if his voice is being typecasted. A little bit of variety might have had that extra pull. Still, this album has a good hook and has all potentials to be a crowd puller. Now, its all upto good filming and visualization of these songs. Certainly, one of the best albums to have released this year !
Picks : Hai Na, Thoda Thoda, Aa Bhi Jaa
Verdict : Go for it ! Totally worth it !

MANATEE -- There's a fomenting fracas over flushed fish in Terra Ceia.
It started Tuesday when People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) sent a letter to Robert Zonies, president of the Terra Ceia Village Improvement Association, urging him to cancel the annual "mullet toss" at this year's Terra Ceia Mullet Smoke-Off fundraiser, scheduled for 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Nov. 12.
Each year, contestants try their hand at throwing dead mullets into a toilet, wheelbarrow or a wash tub, which are positioned a challenging distance away at Seabreeze Park in Terra Ceia.
Tossers get three throws for $5. A successful throw could earn tossers half the entrance pot.
The toss has been a tradition at the Smoke-Off for the past 13 years, said Melissa Langdon, event organizer. But a PETA official said Monday that it doesn't matter that the tossed fish are dead.
"It sends a terrible message to kids when adults are throwing the carcasses of animals," said Dave Byer, PETA's manager of corporate affairs based in Los Angeles. "If you wouldn't throw a dead puppy or kitten into a toilet, why throw a dead fish?"
One or more concerned people had notified PETA about the mullet throw, Byer said Monday.
Byer said studies have shown that fish are capable of feeling pain and suffering, so that throwing a fish carcass is the same as throwing the carcass of any higher-level animal, like a dog or cat.
PETA is not asking the association to stop smoking and eating mullet, however.
"It would be great if they served vegan," Byer said. "But we are only asking them to stop playing with dead bodies."
Association officials were a bit stunned by Monday's letter and a decision has been made to let association members from roughly 176 households vote on PETA's request at 7 p.m. Thursday during a regularly scheduled meeting at the Terra Village Association Hall, Langdon said.
"What PETA really doesn't understand is that no fish goes to waste after the throw," Langdon said. "It is all food. It feeds the other life that is out here."
Long-time association member D.J. Borbidge, a passionate environmentalist, was stunned by the letter.
She has seen many mullet tosses and has never been put off by them, she said.
"It's a fisherman event and it's part of the tradition," Borbidge said. "No one ever thought we were doing anything wrong. I think there will be a little shock over this."
During the Smoke-Off, between 15 and 20 fishermen catch their own mullet and smoke them. Judges give awards for the best smoked mullet and the mullet toss follows the judging, Langdon said.
There is also plenty of food to eat, including the Smoke-Off's famous smoked mullet meal, which consists of mullet, potato salad, baked beans and hush puppies for $7.
Eighty percent of all the money raised from the Smoke-Off goes to the Terra Ceia Village Improvement Association to maintain Seabreeze Park and the Village Improvement Association Hall, Langdon said.
Ten percent of the proceeds go to the Manatee County School District's "Teacher's Wishing Well," so teachers can buy supplies, Langdon said.
Organized in 1910, the Terra Ceia Village Improvement Association is the longest ongoing civic association in the state, Langdon said.

The Daily
09-09-03: Bumber crop of
By BETTY LAWRENCE
This summer's cool and rainy weather played havoc on the
muskmelon crop at Jutte's Fruit Farm, Ohio 49, Fort Recovery,
but the watermelons apparently loved the cool temperatures and
thrived on this year's abundant rainfalls.
"We have an abundant crop of watermelons this year, but
the muskmelons didn't like all the rain and didn't
do very well," owner Oscar Jutte said recently.
The watermelons are ripening late this year, about two weeks
behind schedule, because of the cool and cloudy weather, he
One of Jutte's watermelons tipped the scales at a whopping
47 pounds. To put the behemoth to scale, an average-size melon
weighs 12-15 pounds.
"It's big, but it still will taste good and we'll
be eating it soon. The taste and quality of the watermelons
this year is just excellent," he said.
But the muskmelons are cracking in the field, likely from too
much rain.
"This is the worst year I can remember for muskmelons.
I grow a true muskmelon, an Eastern variety, not the cantaloupes.
The wholesale of my muskmelons this year will be almost nil,"
Jutte said.
A large portion of his nearly 10-acre melon patch is devoted
to growing muskmelons.
Jutte's Fruit Farm grows a variety of Crimson Sweet watermelons
with seeds, but you won't find any seedless melons at
the roadside fruit stand located a few miles north of Fort Recovery.
"Seedless melons don't have any flavor. I tried
them about 15 years ago, when they were becoming popular, but
I had problems and the quality just wasn't there,"
he said.
In addition to the Crimson Sweet watermelons, Jutte offers the
smaller popular yellow pineapple watermelons.
"The pineapple melons are hard to find in the grocery
stores because the rind is thin and they break easy,"
he said. "It's popular here and they come from all
over to buy it."
Jutte proudly notes this year marks the 50th year he has been
growing and selling melons at the farm.
"I was just 12 years old when I started and have seen
all kinds of melons in those 50 years," he said.
Because of the bumper crop of watermelons, Jutte plans to offer
his customers a special sale.
"When you buy one, you get the next for half price,"
he said. "We need to make room for the pumpkins."

Copyright co-ownership is a well-established method of allocating rights within the software, recording, and motion picture industries. In theory, it presents a clear and simple arrangement and provides a strong degree of independence for each of the co-owners.
By way of quick review: The default relationship between co-owners of a copyright is a tenancy in common. Each co-owner can operate independently in using the work, enforcing the copyright, and transferring her interest, subject only to a duty of accounting (which can be waived by contract). Thus, if two musicians collaborate on a song, they become co-owners of the copyright, each possessing an equal share in the copyright. Each musician can independently exercise all of the exclusive rights as to the song. Likewise, each can independently enforce the copyright against an infringer. And each could transfer or assign her entire interest in the work to a third party without obtaining the consent of the co-owner.
For all its popularity and accessibility, though, copyright co-ownership can be a fraught arrangement. Perhaps the most familiar complication for copyright co-owners derives from the Ninth Circuit's widely criticized decision in Sybersound Records, Inc. v. UAV Corp., 517 F.3d 1137 (9th Cir. 2008). As discussed in a previous article, the Sybersound court effectively invalidated an entire genre of copyright assignment that had been — and remains — widely used by copyright co-owners: namely, the practice whereby one co-owner transfers a sub-divided portion of her rights to a third party. See, e.g., Brian W. Carver, Think You Are a Co-Owner of a Copyright?—Think Again, Copyright Alert (June 16, 2008).
The most recent complication for co-owners, however, arises from Minden Pictures, Inc. v. Pearson Education, Inc., 2013 WL 812412 (N.D. Cal. March 05, 2013). In Minden, the court invalidated over 4,000 identical copyright assignment agreements that had purported to grant co-ownership rights, on the grounds that, in substance, the assignments had transferred nothing more than the bare right to litigate the copyright — which is not a right at all.
The bases for invalidation between Sybersound and Minden are somewhat distinct. But the result in each case looked the same: Plaintiffs who thought they were co-owners with standing to sue learned that they did not own anything enforceable at all. Minden thus presents a reminder and an opportunity for copyright co-owners to pause and take stock of the rights they think they hold.
Minden Pictures v. Pearson Education
The Minden decision fundamentally addresses and reinforces the rule that a copyright holder cannot select a third party to bring suit on his behalf. Even a party that obtains co-ownership rights in the copyright — as Minden attempted to do — will not have standing to enforce the copyright if it is apparent that the co-ownership transaction was orchestrated solely to facilitate litigation.
The plaintiff in Minden was a stock photography agency that represented independent photographers and obtained rights to their photographic works through agency agreements. Upon obtaining licensing rights through the agency agreements, Minden would license the photographs to publishers. Amongst those publishers was defendant Pearson Education, which used thousands of Minden's licensed photographs in educational textbooks.
Minden eventually came to believe that Pearson Education had been willfully overstepping the limitations of its licenses by publishing more copies of the images than the license actually permitted. All told, Minden believed that Pearson had infringed over 4,257 works to which Minden held rights. Consistent with its enforcement model, Minden obtained copyright co-ownership assignments from the relevant photographers, and then brought suit.
The trouble for Minden, as defendant Pearson eventually realized, was that the language of the copyright assignments, by which Minden purported to obtain co-ownership and standing to sue, appeared inconsistent with a full grant of co-ownership rights. The full text of the assignments read as follows:
The undersigned, the sole owner of the copyrights in the undersigned's images (the Images) selected by Minden Pictures, Inc. (Agency) and included in its collection, hereby assigns to agency co-ownership of all copyrights in the Images. This assignment authorizes Agency, in its sole discretion, to present, litigate and settle any accrued or later accruing claims, causes of action, choses in action — which is the personal right to bring a case — or lawsuits, brought by Agency to address unauthorized uses of the images by licensees of Agency, as if Agency were the undersigned. Agency agrees to reassign its co-ownership of the Images back to the undersigned immediately upon the conclusion of such litigation.
Any proceeds obtained by settlement or judgment for said claims shall, after deducting all costs, expenses, and attorney's fees, be divided as provided in the Photographer's Agency Agreement.
Significantly, the assignments did not articulate or discuss any specific exclusive rights that Minden obtained by virtue of the co-ownership transfer. Instead, the assignments simply described the various ways in which Minden would be permitted to enforce the copyrights. Further, the assignments required Minden to re-assign its interests back to the photographers upon the conclusion of litigation and contemplated a sharing of litigation proceeds between Minden and the photographer.
The problem with this arrangement is the well-established rule from Silvers v. Sony Pictures Entm't, Inc. that prohibits copyright holders from selecting third parties to bring suit on their behalf. 402 F.3d 881, 890 (9th Cir. 2005) ( "The bare assignment of an accrued cause of action is impermissible under [Section] 501(b).") While the copyright assignment purported to transfer full co-ownership rights, it certainly seemed plausible, from the face of the agreement, that those co-ownership rights had been granted solely to disguise the real intent of the agreement, which was simply to allow Minden to enforce the copyright and nothing more.
Whether this intrinsic evidence alone would have been sufficient to invalidate the assignments is unclear, because the court chose to admit extrinsic evidence on this point. Amongst that evidence was: (1) The fact that Minden only sought these copyright assignments immediately prior to litigation; (2) That no consideration appeared to have been given for the assignment; and (3) A statement from the founder of Minden Pictures, describing the agreements as transferring rights "solely for actions or lawsuits."
Minden insisted that, despite contemplating litigation, the assignment unambiguously transferred co-ownership status. But the court disagreed, holding the "nature of the rights conveyed by an agreement is governed by the substance of what is given, not the label that the parties put on an agreement." Minden, 2013 WL 812412, at *5. All available evidence indicated that the copyright assignments had been orchestrated to transfer a bare right to sue, and therefore, under Silvers, had transferred nothing at all to Minden.
Courts have been consistently enforcing the Silvers rule against plaintiffs whose standing appeared based on a disguised bare right to litigate. The Silvers rule has garnered particular attention recently in the high-profile Righthaven copyright suits. See, e.g., Righthaven LLC v. Democratic Underground, LLC, 791 F. Supp. 2d 968 (D. Nev. 2011). Minden, however, presents the first instance where a transfer of co-ownership rights was invalidated – and with relatively little evidence of mal-intent on the face of the assignment.
The lesson for copyright litigants is clear: Courts take the Silvers prohibition seriously and are willing to look past the language of any agreement to discern the real substance of what was transferred and whether that transfer violates Silvers. The lesson for copyright co-owners is specific: If your co-ownership rights were granted just to enable your enforcement of a copyright, you probably do not have any rights at all.

|Summary, etc.:
Investigating cocaine smuggling in the Florida Keys, Fred Carver stumbles on a crime far worse than drug pushingWhen Henry Tiller barges into Fred Carver's office, the old man seems crazy. He tells a paranoid story about one of his neighbors on the sunny Florida Key where he makes his home-a wealthy man whom he suspects of using his yacht to run drugs. A young boy recently washed up on the beach, Tiller says, and he's certain it was murder. Carver is uninterested until he learns that the old man's grandson died a few years earlier: another casualty of cocaine addiction. It's only been three years since Carver's own son was murdered, and he's too sentimental to turn down the case.When Tiller turns up dead himself, a victim of a suspicious hit-and-run, a little smuggled cocaine becomes the least of Carver's troubles.This ebook features an illustrated biography of John Lutz including rare photos and never-before-seen documents from the author's personal collection.
