Set Up A Castle Of Your Own With Sally 4th
September 30, 2013 by brennon
If you like your 10mm fantasy or historical gaming then you might be interested in these pre-painted castle sets from Sally 4th. They have small, medium, and large set ups that range from Border Strongholds all the way up to Noble Citadels.
As you can see it's mostly just some additional walls and towers building up the surface area of this castle on the battlefield. I know that they have been built with Warmaster in mind and even though it looks pretty good I just can't think of anyone who plays that game anymore!
Do any of you play Warmaster and would you pick this up as your residence of choice?

My mom was very big on sending out a Christmas letter to family and friends. They were always short and to the point, sometimes even just a little poem. Apparently, short and to the point is not exactly my gift:
Dear Mom and Dad,
A year ago today, mom, you walked from this earth into eternity, and I'm sure daddy was there to meet you. I know that in heaven a thousand years is like a day ~ so I suppose this year has been just a blink for you. For us, 365 days have turned into a year just like they always do, so I thought you might appreciate hearing how we've passed the time.
We waited till after the holidays for your memorial service, mom, so more people could make the trip. Well, let me tell you – that celebration of your life also turned out to be quite a reunion! Many dear friends from your Victory Chapel days were there and we had a party that would have made you very happy! Stories about you two were shared by several people; it was beautiful to be reminded how much you were and always will be loved. A few of the loved ones there that day have joined your party in heaven since then. I'm sure you were both there to welcome them!
Mom, your little brother Howard turned 80 in March, and there was a surprise party planned! You'll be happy to know that we three kids and cousin Becky decided that after saying goodbye to both of you and aunt Norma within 11 weeks' time, we'd had enough funerals for awhile and it was time for a party! And so, we went on a road trip. Daddy, you would have been so proud! I drove almost the whole way, and we made it straight through to Portland in less than 17 hours, including snow through the Shasta area. And yes, we did stop to eat! Uncle Howard was really surprised and it was such a fun party and a great chance to reconnect with so many cousins we hadn't seen in years. We laughed an awful lot on that trip, and even took a driving tour of all the houses our family lived in in Portland, and even found a few that you had built, dad. It was a very, very good thing to do.
Nikki graduated from Point Loma Nazarene University in May. You would have been so proud of your granddaughter that day! We had a great group of family and friends there (even Kristin came out from Charlotte) and we made lots and lots of noise, just like you would have. It was the first big event without you, and you were missed! Ron gave Nikki your beautiful silver candelabra and we made sure to decorate the table with them at her party, so your practice of always using the nice things instead of storing them away kept your memory alive for us.
Daddy, I celebrated your birthday on May 18th in one of your favorite places – Yosemite!! As I rode my bike around Yosemite Valley that day, my mind wandered to how very important it was to you to share that beautiful place with your family. I was awestruck, still, at the majesty of Yosemite. It made me wonder about how you discovered it long before I was born, and what made you return there again and again. It's a story I guess I will never know.
Meanwhile, Chris started working at Albertson's as a courtesy clerk and really likes the job and his coworkers They seem to like him very much, as well, which I know wouldn't surprise you in the least. He managed to save almost everything he earned over the summer to help reach his dream of going to Europe in the fall.
Speaking of Europe, the four of us spent a whirlwind 10 days in Italy in early June. What an amazing experience! I so wish I could sit with you and share our photos of Rome, Florence, Venice and everything in-between. You gave me the "travel bug," and guess what? It's contagious. The kids have it now.
This fall brought a true empty nest for us, at least for a few months. Nikki went back to San Diego, got a job in a physical therapy clinic and is taking classes to prepare for graduate school where she will study to be a physical therapist. She is sharing an apartment with two friends, and is doing it all on her own. Her future is bright, indeed! Chris left on September 9th for London where he learned to truly be an independent adult while living in an apartment in Kensington and attending classes at the University of London Union. He earned 12 units for college while there, and was happy to earn the best grades of his life! He came home in time for Christmas and will return to APU in January. He's on his way to a great future, grandma & grandpa!
In November, Jim and I spent a week in Florida not watching the last launch of the Space Shuttle Discovery. We were invited by an astronaut. No kidding! As of this writing, the Discovery is still not in space. I know, I know – better safe than sorry. But letting go of a dream is very tough sometimes, and I'm still holding out hope that when it finally launches in 2011 I will hop on a last minute flight to be there!
Not that you were worried, but I just want you to know that all in all, we have had a pretty good year. Jim finished building a couple of beautiful custom homes and is waiting to begin remodeling a house in San Marino. We are looking forward to having the family over for the Christmas Eve ravioli feast, and anticipate all good things in the New Year.
Most of all, I want to thank you. Thank you for being such a wonderful mom & dad, and for the endless memories of our times together. Thank you for the legacy you bestowed on our family. Thank you for consistently living your lives according to the scripture, "And what does the LORD require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humblywith your God." (Micah 6:8)
Until our joyful reunion some day, those of us left here on earth will continue to occupy our space as best we can. We'll be just fine.
Your loving daughter,
Tami 12/21/2010

The neighboring home, located at 1507 Olive Avenue, was also located on a deep lot with development potential. DCG entered into separate contracts to purchase the property at 1435 Olive Avenue, as well as portions of the Temple Beth Torah Synagogue and 1507 Olive Avenue.
The complexities associated with this unique infill project required our development team to coordinate with multiple property stakeholders in order to collectively create a Preliminary and Precise Planned District within the heart of an established neighborhood. While this project may appear small, with regard to the number of lots, it had all of the design and engineering challenges typically encountered in a large residential development.

Fin/534 week 8 question 7 (***** A+ Solution with Calculation *****)
Firm M is a mature firm in a mature industry. Its annual net income and net cash flows are both consistently high and stable. However, M's growth prospects are quite limited, so its capital budget is small relative to its net income. Firm N is a relatively new firm in a new and growing industry. Its markets and products have not stabilized, so its annual operating income fluctuates considerably. However, N has substantial growth opportunities, and its capital budget is expected to be large relative to its net income for the foreseeable future. Which of the following statements is correct?
Firm M probably has a lower debt ratio than Firm N.
Firm M probably has a higher dividend payout ratio than Firm N.
If the corporate tax rate increases, the debt ratio of both firms is likely to decline.
The two firms are equally likely to pay high dividends.
Firm N is likely to have a clientele of shareholders who want to receive consistent, stable dividend income.

Common-Standards Watch: Tennessee Brings It to 32
Yes, common-standards addicts, you get a tidbit of news to finish up your week. Tennessee has adopted the common standards. So the map of the moment looks like this:
Remember that Tennessee was one of the two states that won Race to the Top money in Round 1. As an RTT winner, it wouldn't have looked all that great if it blew off the Aug. 2 deadline the feds specified for maximum points. Delaware, the other Round 1 winner, hasn't adopted yet. Stay tuned.

Exactly a year ago, we did a cursory rummaging around in the costume closet and I uncovered a green/blue taffeta 1870s-inspired evening gown I'd made about ten years ago for a Victorian costume event. It was one of the very first historical "costumes" I'd ever made, and though I was sad to see it go, it was time to bid it farewell and send it off to a new home to make some room in the closet for new creations.
While Ashley was visiting a couple of weeks ago, we finally got around to doing a more massive purge of the costume and fabric closet and uncovered the gown I'd made for her for that same event back in 2005. This one is made of a stunning ruby red satin fabric. At first, she was tempted to keep it, as it's always been one of her favorite pieces in her absolute favorite color, but after she tried it on and found that it no longer fit, she decided she's ready to part with hers as well. It is now listed on Ebay!
As I mentioned in last year's post when the first gown was listed, this gown was made before Ashley and I really got serious and nit-picky about historical fashion on a research-oriented level. This means that if you'd like to bid on it, please be aware that this is very much a costume
- not a meticulously researched "reproduction" piece like those
we typically share on the blog. The gown is entirely machine sewn. Like the blue/green gown, this red one was one of my very first sewing endeavors and
as such, it certainly has its flaws, though Ashley still adores it and I do have to admit that it came out looking quite pretty.
As you can probably tell, I made this gown using the same pattern base as mine, though it was so long ago now that I honestly can't recall which pattern it was. The gown comes in three pieces: bodice, skirt, and bustle. Please forgive the lack of detailed photos this time around; the dress is too small for my dressform, so we've opted to just use the original pictures because they give the best sense of how the dress drapes when worn.
The sleeveless bodice has a deep V-neckline in front and back that is trimmed with matching patterned red satin ribbon. It is stiffened with interfacing and plastic boning and fully lined in red as well. The armscyes are bound in the same red ribbon that surrounds the neckline; this same ribbon also edges the bottom of the bodice, following along the center front point that dips several inches beneath the natural waistline. The back has a short peplum that flounces out over the bustle and the back laces closed.
The skirt hemline is edged with a row of red ribbon. It has an apron front that is attached at the waistband; its bottom edge, too, is finished with the same red ribbon. The bustle attaches to the skirt with hooks and eyes at the waistband and with a series of ties and plastic rings down the back of the skirt. The bustle is fully lined and is interlined with crinoline to give it fullness and body.
Four large deep red roses are suspended on a fabric strip down one side of the bustle, in imitation of period fashion plates (the other side of the bustle is left plain). Beneath the roses is a large, wide bow in the same coordinating ribbon.
Please see the listing for measurements, pricing, and further details. Let us know if you have any questions. We'll be thrilled to know that this is going to go to a new home!
And if you're in the mood for shopping in another period, we also currently have listed a couple of 18th-century pieces and some taffeta fabrics on Ebay!

Trussing is a technique used for birds and roasts to keep the meat in a uniform shape to ensure even cooking. Trussing helps the meat keep its shape and holds in natural juices while cooking.
Trussing a bird:
Trussing a turkey means tying the legs and wings together and closings all cavities to give the bird a nicer and much more presentable appearance. While trussing isn't necessary for cooking, it can actually make the legs and thighs take longer to cook, since the bird is pressed against itself. Trussing also makes the bird easier to carve.
Remove the bird from its packaging. If giblets are available, remove them (they will be wrapped separately and placed in the body cavity) and set them aside to make gravy. Thoroughly wash the bird inside and out under running tap water. Pat skin dry with paper towels and place the bird breast side down on a clean surface.
Fold the wing tips over and secure them behind the shoulder, tucking them neatly under the bird in doing so. This keeps them from cooking too quickly.
Using a trussing needle (or large embroidery needle) and fine cotton string, pull the skin of the neck flap over the neck opening and sew the cavity closed. A toothpick can be used if necessary.
If you are stuffing the bird, fill the body and neck cavities loosely with dressing just before roasting; being careful not to overfill. Pull the skin taut from the breast and fold over stuffing, tucking in the Pope's nose (fatty tail flap) and sewing the cavity closed with the trussing needle and cotton twine.
Use kitchen string to tie the bird's legs together, pressing the legs close to the turkey body. To secure the legs, press them firmly into the breast, tucking any excess skin between the legs and the breast. Cross the ends of the drumsticks together and tie several loops of string around the drumstick ends and then knot the string.
Trussing a Roast:
The technique is for tying a roast is the same whether you're working with pork, beef, or lamb. Begin with a long piece of standard butcher's twine and bring the string up and around to the top of the roast, forming the letter 'A' with the string being the cross, then pull gently but firmly.
Slowly wrap the string around the feed side again to make another tie, and then pull the string, holding your fingers against the knots to tighten lightly. You want a slight indentation in the meat, but the meat should not be squeezed too tightly. To finish the tie, make the letter 'C', pulling the end of the string through to make another knot. Repeat this process every few inches along the roast.

Director Jonathan Burton selects the new faces to watch out for at the upcoming London Art Fair
With over 100 galleries and 1000 artists taking flocking to the 20,000 sq ft expanse of the Business Design Centre in Islington, you'd be forgiven for feeling slightly overwhelmed at this year's London Art Fair. No less modest in size than its younger sister Frieze, the show opens its doors again this week to showcase the best of contemporary British art. Over the next four days, prospective buyers and wishful spectators will fill the BDC to attend a series of artist talks and gaze at the latest offerings from UK galleries.
This year, manipulation and subversion of medium itself reigns as a major theme amongst the artists. The Photo50 exhibition focuses precisely on artists using new techniques to deface the print and bring new media into photographs, while the Art Projects section – featuring works exclusively from new galleries and up-and-coming artists – includes the much-hyped Paul the robot; Patrick Tresset's "interactive robotic sculpture" that uses cybernetic technology to sketch visitors' faces.
To help guide you through the cultural depths of work on display, here the fair's director gives us his top picks of best new artists exhibiting for the first time this year.
Chosen by Jonathan Burton:
David Birkin
David Birkin's work is conceptually driven, yet it makes a powerful emotional statement that stays in the mind. We have an installation and three photographs in our Photo50 section this year and they comment on the nature of conflict, state censorship and memorialise forgotten victims. While David's technical prowess is evident – this is work that leaves me moved and angry.
Daryl Brown
Daryl Brown's sculptures are new to me – shown by The Residence Gallery in our Art Projects section. Their vertical form suggests Giacometti – but they are grotesque, playful - perhaps lyrical? The contrasting materials – sense of control and gestural freedom are thrilling. A name to watch.
Reginald Aloysius
Reginald Aloysius' intricate pencil drawings of Indian Hindu temples are beautifully realised. They also subtly employ enamel paint, setting up an interesting dialogue between drawing and painting. I love the overlaid modernist architectural shapes that scar these drawings – reflecting the impact of a changing society on ancient tradition. On show in Art Projects with BEARSPACE.
Adam Dix
I first became aware of Adam's work when he was nominated for the Catlin Art Prize in 2010 and keep coming back to it. His paintings reflect our fascination with and dependence on technology and communication – the satellite dish as something to worship. While this technology links so many – it leaves us still isolated or detached from each other. Adam's work brilliantly comments on the present by evoking a vision of the future as seen from the science fiction era of the 1950s.
David Trulli
David Trulli's work brings together drawing, etching and mixed media. He captures enigmatic moments from obtuse angles. The work is tightly focussed with charged atmosphere and arresting composition. His work is presented by the Foley Gallery (New York) in the main fair.
London Art Fair at the Business Design Centre, from 18 – 22 January 2012

I am so excited and looking forward to the new year! I took a year off of blogging, and I'm thrilled to starting again.
My focus is going to be the same, but I'll be opening up as to why I took a year off of blogging. I hope to inspire and give hope to those who are struggling in their marriage.
This past November we made the move from Oregon to Colorado, that's been a fun adventure. I'm slowly learning all the weird "high altitude" quirks, if you have any suggestions or tips please let me know.
Here's to a great year!

This opinion piece was written for Earthjustice and is reprinted here with permission.
At the heart of it all is compromise on how developed and developing nations will share the effort of reducing global greenhouse gas emissions.
Developed countries became rich by burning fossil fuels, and polluting and warming the atmosphere. Because of these historical emissions, nations agreed in the 1992 climate treaty that rich countries would take the lead in reducing emissions while helping poor countries to move toward a sustainable, clean energy development path.
Now, almost 20 years later, although China has surpassed the U.S. as the largest annual GHG emitter, the average emissions of each individual American is five times more than a person in China, and 20 times more than a person in India. Despite this disparity, China has pledged to drastically slow the growth in its emissions over coming years.
What we can't compromise on though, is the level of ambition. According to a report from scientists convened by the United Nations Environment Program, there is a major gap between what countries promised to do in last year's Copenhagen Accord and what is necessary to have even a decent chance of avoiding irreversible, dangerous global warming. This gap has become known in the gigatonne gap.
No matter what happens today and into the wee hours of tomorrow morning here in Cancun, countries must agree to strengthen their pledges in the future and identify a path to close the gigatonne gap. This much, at least, Cancun can and must deliver.
In the U.S. we can all contribute to this critical, bottom line goal by redoubling our efforts to ensure that the US delivers on its Copenhagen Accord pledge—a 17 percent emissions reduction below 2005 levels. Even with the failure of climate legislation in the Congress, our landmark environmental law, the Clean Air Act, can get us there.

Klon peags or klon paegs are an item used by the Wadi for a variety of purposes, including currency. They resemble sticks, but are highly prized by the Wadi and other Gamma Quadrant races. Jake Sisko has estimated that three hundred and fifty klon paegs are roughly equivalent to eighty or ninety bars of gold-pressed latinum.
In 2369, Falow offered to use several Klon peags as a wager in a game of dabo in Quark's, although Quark turned them down as he had "enough sticks right now". (DS9 episode: "Move Along Home")
The crew of the Even Odds were to be paid in klon peags for returning the Yaron Oracle to the Yaron and were paid seven and a half thousand after selling the Giana'aga box. (DS9 novel: Rising Son)

Prioritizing Female Pleasure Has Never Been More Important. Here's Why
In many respects, women's voices have never been louder: We're running for office in record numbers, speaking out against sexual assault, and demanding equal pay for equal work. But if the virality of December's New Yorker short story "Cat Person" is any indication, when it comes to prioritizing our own sexual pleasure, we have a long way to go.
In fact, there's science to back that up: A study published in Sexuality & Culture earlier this year analyzed data from 7,255 students at 22 different colleges who participated in a survey on sexuality. According to the data, nine out of the 10 women surveyed had engaged in unwanted sexual acts just to please their partner, and eight out of 10 prioritized their partner's pleasure over their own.
Interestingly, the women who did prioritize their own pleasure were much less likely to engage in unwanted sexual acts than those who didn't. "The belief that sex is all about fulfilling male desire may set women up to engage in undesired sex for the sole purpose of pleasing a partner," explained study author Heather Hensman Kettrey. "If a young woman's desire is not sufficient justification for engaging in sexual activity, then her lack of desire in a given situation will not be sufficient justification for refusing sexual activity."
One thing is clear: In 2018, it's more important than ever for women to prioritize their sexual pleasure. Here's how to make that happen, according to the experts.
Getting started.
If you've never prioritized your sexual pleasure, you're not alone. According to Jolene Brighten, N.D., this is because there's a common narrative surrounding the role of women in sex: that their sole purpose when having sex is to please their partner. "This can lead to women sacrificing their own needs and desires to be a 'good girl' and take care of their man," she says. "A woman who values her needs and has a positive relationship with her body is less likely to succumb to verbal pressure and so more inclined to turn down sex they're just not into."
So how can you start putting your own pleasure first? "Start exploring what turns you on, what makes you [have an] orgasm, and ditch any dogma you have about sex," Brighten suggests. "Communicate with your partner about your needs, and help them work with you. You can also begin exploring your own terrain and self-stimulating to help you get in tune with your needs and facilitate the conversation with your partner."
And if you don't have a partner? No problem. When it comes to female pleasure, partners are optional. "You can start getting to know your body right now," she says.
Should sex always be orgasm-oriented?
According to sex expert and Sex That Works author Wendy Strgar, the goal of sex doesn't necessarily have to be having an orgasm. "I don't think that sex should be goal-oriented for either partner, although it is easy for this to happen when either or both of them are worried about whether it will work or whether they will perform adequately," she explains. "As soon as this kind of anxiety begins to inform a sexual moment, the likelihood of pleasure really diminishes."
Strgar adds that women shouldn't feel the pressure to have an orgasm every single time—instead, it's about knowing what you want and enjoying sex, even if that doesn't necessarily mean having an orgasm. "What this means is that everyone is enjoying the exploration," she explains. "It means women feel like they can take their time and that their process isn't getting in the way of their partner's."
Brighten adds that if women simply enjoy the closeness that comes with sex—even if it doesn't always lead to an orgasm—that's OK, too. "There is so much more taking place during sex than simply orgasms. We bond with our partner, learn more about our bodies, and our hormones shift in beneficial ways just by getting aroused. Tuning in to your intuition, needs, and desires is an important step in feeling empowered in the bedroom."

Season Series Recap:
The Monarchs and Stingrays met five times during the 2016-17 year. The Stingrays won three out of five in the season series, including two games at North Charleston Coliseum. The Stingrays outscored 18-17 in the five meetings.
South Carolina was led by forward Rob Flick who had 10 points (five goals, five assists) along with Domenic Monardo who notched eight points (two goals, six assists).
Manchester was led by forwards Cory Ward and Rihards Bukarts in the five games against the Stingrays, each picking up six points. Bukarts led the Monarchs with four goals, while Daniel Doremus and Connor Hardowa each assisted on four tallies.
How South Carolina Wins:
Rob Flick leads the Stingrays in points with seven goals and six assists for 13 points and Stingrays goaltender Parker Milner second in the league with a goals against average of 1.83, a save percentage of .932 and a record of 8-3-0. Monardo has been on the scoresheet in 10 of the team's 11 postseason contests, including seven points (three goals, four assists) during the five games against Florida in the South Division Finals.
Both Flick and Monardo will need some help, however. Players like Steven McParland, Patrick Gaul, and Olivier Archambault will need to step up their offensive games. Whether that comes with different line combinations or a wrinkle in head coach Ryan Warsofsky's systems will determine how successful South Carolina will be in their third straight East Finals appearance.
How Manchester Wins:
There is no doubt that Sam Brittain has been the backbone of the Monarchs defensive resurgence in these playoffs. After two rounds, Brittain ranks fourth in the league with a goals against average of 2.09, has a save percentage of .931 to go with a record of 8-3-1.
Offensively, Matt Leitner leads the Monarchs in scoring with six goals and eight assists for 14 points. He is joined by Quentin Shore, who has 11 points (4G, 7A) in 12 games. On the back end, Colton Saucerman (former Stingray) leads Monarchs defensemen with six points (1G, 5A) in 12 games played.
If Manchester is to win this series, they may have to do it through the special teams route. On the man-advantage, the Monarchs have the second best power play of teams remaining in the playoffs, scoring on 19.2 percent of their power play chances. South Carolina features the best penalty kill among the remaining playoff teams, allowing just four power play goals on 52 opportunities.

These days it takes a lot more bandwidth to keep a household running.
From the kids watching YouTube or gaming online, to flexible working, streaming and paying bills for the grown ups, we need more speed and reliability than ever.
With Whitespace broadband you get high-speed, reliable service, day or night, at a cost comparable to the traditional fixed line operators.
Traditional broadband suppliers connect you to the nearest telephone exchange using fixed wiring (copper or fibre). The nature of these technologies mean the further away you live the slower the service.
If you live in a very rural or remote area they may decide that they're not going to provide a service at all. We think this is crazy, and have yet to find a house we can't provide a service to.

Ground walnuts thicken this unique sauce and give it both a subtle nuttiness and an appealing creamy texture, both of which are perfect with turkey. More Holiday Turkeys Delicious, Quick Side Dishes
How to Make It
Grind 1/4 cup of the walnuts to a powder in a food processor. In a small saucepan, melt the butter over moderately low heat. Add the onion; cook until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, 30 seconds longer. Stir in the cloves, cinnamon, cayenne, and 1/4 teaspoon of the salt. Add the flour and stir to combine. Whisk in the broth and simmer until starting to thicken, about 3 minutes. Add the ground walnuts and simmer 1 minute longer. Remove from the heat and stir in the lemon juice, Parmesan, and parsley.
In a large nonstick frying pan, heat the oil over moderately high heat. Season the turkey with the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and the pepper. Cook the turkey cutlets until just done, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Serve with the walnut sauce, sprinkling the additional nuts over the top.

Roasted asparagus and sautéed peppers are vegetables that taste particularly good with both walnuts and Parmesan cheese.

PLEASE NOTE THIS PRICE IS FOR ONE DEATHBALL OGRE KIT supplied with 1 random set of legs, one random torso, 2 random heads, and 2 random arms from what's available in stock when you order. If you want 2 or 3 ogres, update the quantity in the cart to 2 or 3, etc. Otherwise you get one. If you want the full range of heads available, you should choose the Deathball Ogre 3 Pack, which will be supplied with a full set of all 6 arms and 12 heads per 3 ogres.
The original Deathball ogres were always popular but had to be remade in resin as metal prices rose and rose. Andy took the chance to slightly update the sculpts with a bit of judicious sharpening of surfaces, toning of muscles and re-sizing of heads and fists, ogres have big hands, heads and feet in general, but they were slightly out of control on the old version of the DB ogres and so hvae been refreshed. The fit has been vastly improved too, and being resin they are far, far easier to assemble than the metal ones were! If you would like the original, untweaked Deathball Ogres with the balloon heads and arms, please contact our friends at Impact! Miniatures, who are now producing them in the USA.
Simply wash the parts in warm water with detergent in it, give them a bit of a seeing to with a spare toothbrush to get any mould release out of the crevices, then assembled with superglue (cyanoacrylate), gap filled with modelling putty where needed, prime with plastic-suitable paints and paint with acrylics as normal! If filing or sanding resin you must wear protective gear such as a dust mask to prevent dust inhalation.
Supplied unpainted and unassembled.
Components - PER SINGLE RESIN DEATHBALL OGRE: 1x torso, 1x legs, 2 random heads (either left or right looking, one will be a full helm, one not), 2 random right and left arms, 1 sprue of 7 fists, 40mm round blank plastic base.

Shape Blitz is different from Brain Rush because it shows each oncoming object in random colors and makes the player manage three objects. Starting out, the player has a circle and he or she can tap on the left side to turn the object into a rectangle and tap the right side for the triangle.
AdsShape Blitz uses AdMob and RevMob for monetization. Banner ads are shown at all times during game play and fullscreen ads are shown a third of the time once it's game over for the player.
- This is universal game and is ready for Android, iPhone, iPad, and any other device using Corona's ultimate config file.
- Leaderboards for both Game Center and Google Play Services
- Ads using Admob and RevMob

- Easy to reskin with few assets.
- Clean and very well commented code.
- Beautiful interface using flat colors.
Game Store DescriptionIn this reflex inspired game, you'll need to survive the onslaught of shapes by tapping the screen (or not tapping) to match the oncoming shapes.
Tap left for the rectangle. Tap right for the triangle. Don't tap at all of for the circle. Colors don't matter.
How many points can you earn before Shape Blitz say's it's game over?

CSUB Honors Faculty Members with Top Awards
September 08, 2017California State University, Bakersfield honored three faculty members with special recognition during CSUB's University Day activities.
Faculty members receiving recognition were:
· Dr. Robert M. Yohe II, a professor of Anthropology and director of the Laboratory of Archaeological Sciences at CSUB, received the Faculty Scholarship and Creative Activity Award.
· Dr. Mahdy Elhusseiny, a professor of finance in the Accounting and Finance Department, received the Millie Ablin Excellence in Teaching Award.
· Dr. Paul Newberry, Faculty Director of General Education, received the Faculty Leadership and Service Award.
In addition, Diana Diaz, a confidential administrative support staff member described as the "heartbeat of Business & Administrative Services," was named Outstanding Staff Member. Academic Operations and Support and the Mail Room were selected as the Outstanding Department winners.
Here is additional information about each of the faculty award winners:
Dr. Robert M. Yohe
Dr. Yohe came to CSUB in 1999. The quality, breadth, and impact of his work are truly impressive. He is an internationally recognized scholar with close to 100 peer-reviewed publications, and is a recognized pioneer in the field of immunological protein residue analysis on stone artifacts, ceramics, soils, and human remains.
Other highlights of his scholarly contributions include:
· serving as a Research Associate for the Maturango Museum in Ridgecrest, California.
· working as a Contributing Scholar at the Museum of Anthropology at U.C. Berkeley.
· chairing numerous symposia
· delivering research presentations at national and international conferences.
As a mentor, Dr. Yohe engaged undergraduate and graduate students in bioarchaeology field work in middle Egypt at the site of Tell El Hibeh. This work was featured in an episode of The Bone Detective on the Discovery Channel. Many students have been included as first or co-authors on publications and have gone on to earn advanced degrees.
Dr. Yohe procures substantial external funding for his research with students, an accomplishment the campus recognized with the 2013/2014 Bronze Award for Research Excellence. He is described as a generous colleague who frequently contributes his expertise and help.
Dr. Mahdy Elhusseiny
Dr. Elhusseiny is one of those professors who shines in the classroom. He captures his students' attention, delivers high-quality content in an engaging and memorable way, and inspires his students to do their best.
Dr. Elhusseiny takes as much time and energy as is needed to ensure that each student succeeds and feels valued as a member of the class. In fact, Dr. Elhusseiny was recognized by 2014, 2015, and 2016 CSUB graduates as an individual contributing to their success as indicated by the office of the Vice President for Student Affairs. This is likely why his student evaluations are consistently in the top 5 percent across all faculty within Business and Public Administration.
Dr. Elhusseiny has taught undergraduate and graduate courses on the main campus, at the Antelope Valley campus, and via ITV, bringing in premiere business professionals from the community into his classes.
In addition to his excellence in the classroom, Dr. Elhusseiny puts forth an incredible amount of time and energy to guide students in several key endeavors outside of the classroom. For nearly 10 years, he has served as an advisor for the Financial Management Association for students. Each year, Dr. Elhusseiny leads a group of at least 25 students to engage in a real-world experience in New York City. Students visit Wall Street and also meet with high-ranking professionals tied to the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (FRBNY), and several other financial institutions. His students have described these experiences as life-changing and edifying to their career paths.
Dr. Paul Newberry
Dr. Newberry's service record at CSUB over the past 30 years has been remarkable, particularly in the area of general education (GE). His sustained efforts to develop, implement, maintain, evaluate, and revise CSUB's GE program over time demonstrate his commitment to shared governance and the success of students.
Shortly after the approval of the new General Education program and governance structure in 2014, Dr. Newberry was selected to be the program's Faculty Director. In fulfilling this role, Dr. Newberry served as Chair of the General Education Curriculum Committee, which required him to lead a group of faculty representatives from all four schools under difficult timelines and difficult conditions. Under Dr. Newberry's leadership, the committee approved more than 200 courses for the new program, hosted more than 30 professional development workshops, and prepared more than 250 faculty members for teaching in the new program.
As the Faculty Director of General Education, Dr. Newberry has worked closely with on-campus groups of stakeholders, including students, staff, faculty, and administrators, as well as leaders from the region's high schools and community colleges.
Dr. Newberry has worked tirelessly and diplomatically with each of these groups to inform them about new developments in the GE program and to solicit feedback about the program's strengths and challenges. In each of these settings, Dr. Newberry works to ensure that all perspectives are heard and that decisions are grounded in our shared commitment to student success.

Hawaii County Mayor Billy Kenoi spent Thursday and Friday in Honolulu engaged in high-level talks with East Asian officials about investment and visitor industry opportunities on Hawaii Island.
The mayor is participating in the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation conference taking place this week in Honolulu. Leaders of nearly two dozen Pacific Rim countries, their ministers and other high officials are in Honolulu to discuss various economic opportunities and issues such as renewable energy.
Mayor Kenoi has also been interviewed by various local and international media outlets, including the Guangzhou Daily News, which featured the mayor on the front page of the Thursday edition of this large southern Chinese newspaper, the 24th largest newspaper in the world in circulation at 1.6 million editions a day.
"We want to let people know that there is an island called Hawaii, and that island is covered with natural wonders and great economic opportunity," said Mayor Kenoi. "APEC is a once in a lifetime opportunity to do this on a world stage."
On Wednesday, the mayor welcomed journalists from all around the Pacific Rim during an event in Honolulu hosted by the Hawaii Island Economic Development Board and the Hawaii Visitors Bureau. Journalists from the People's Republic of China, South Korea, Russia, England and Vietnam as well as other countries had the opportunity to meet many county and state officials as well as leading businessmen from Hawaii Island.
"While we have extended invitations to these journalists to visit Hawaii Island, we understand that many of them came to cover APEC, so we did the next best thing to taking them to Hawaii Island," said Kenoi. "We brought Hawaii Island to them."
Hawaii Island is also represented by a display at the Hawaii Convention Center. The Hawaii Island booth, which is being manned by county officials, features island products such as Kona and Ka'u coffee as well as island grown macadamia nuts and Kona potato chips.
Also represented from the Big Island was Business Innovation awardee Big Island Carbon, alternative energy company Sopogy, ocean thermal energy conversion technology developer Makai Ocean Engineering and a number of telescopes.

Still reeling from the impact of Hurricane Sandy, New Jersey has been struck again by another storm, but this one of major political consequences: BridgeGate.
By now we've heard the allegations that traffic jams were intentionally caused on the George Washington Bridge from Sept, 9-13 to retaliate against Fort Lee Mayor, Mark Sokolich, a Democrat. Reportedly, elements of Republican Gov. Chris Christie's political machine and appointees were upset with Sokolich support for Christie's opponent in the last gubernatorial election.
For four days, two of the three access lanes from Fort Lee to the GWB were blocked, causing massive delays.
Besides the inconvenience to commuters at least one person may have been denied access to immediate emergency medical care. Local EMTS reported that they were delayed in responding to a variety of calls because of the gridlock. In one instance there was a reported 7 minute delay in reaching a 91-year-old woman who ultimately succumbed. News reports quote her daughter as indicating that her mother's age and deteriorating health, and not the delay, were responsible for her mother's death.
Christie's political adversaries are apparently undaunted by this concession, calling for state and federal criminal investigations.
Contempt charges
As of this writing several key people close to Christie have been dismissed, while the author of the damning emails, David Wildstein, asserted his Fifth Amendment privilege against self-incrimination. Wildstein was the director of interstate capital projects for the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey.
On Aug. 13, Christie chief of staff, Bridgette Anne Kelly allegedly emailed Wildstein, "Time for some traffic problems in Fort Lee." The response was Wildstein ordering the lane closures on Sept. 6.
Legal liabilities
Two intriguing legal issues arise: The first is whether anyone directly responsible for the lane closures are subject to criminal prosecution; and, second, was it appropriate for the Assembly to hold Wildstein in contempt for exercising a fundamental Constitutional right when he took the Fifth?
Refusal to answer the committee questions is potentially a misdemeanor under New Jersey law.
First, regarding potential criminal responsibility, the short answer is that those responsible should be prosecuted. And, if it is determined that the delay in reaching the elderly patient contributed to her demise the case can be made for involuntary manslaughter or criminally negligent homicide charges.
The linchpin of any such accusation is the proof that the delay caused or contributed to the death.
Another column will discuss whether the finding of contempt against Wildstein is appropriate. In summary, the issue of BridgeGate will linger as long as the impact of Sandy has, given Christie's projected national political ambition. Jersey Strong may have to be amended to read "Jersey Strong Arm!"

About us
The story of how we raced to Kingston from Barrie at 4pm to meet the 8pm lottery pick up cut off is an interesting one.
A lottery.
That is what it came down to. A microscopic chance, what we now know to be a 0.1% chance of winning. That is what it came down to for us to go to the Tragically Hip final show in Kingston.
Despite the fact that I attended the 3 shows in Toronto, and Ian made it to the Friday show, we both had a desire, almost a need to be in Kingston for this show. Our week had been filled with watching videos we had recorded from the Toronto shows, debating the perfect Hip set list and looking forward to and dreading the final show in Kingston with a mix of emotions that I have never experienced in my life.
After thinking, stewing and dreaming about Kingston, I knew - I was going.
I made the decision the Tuesday before to purchase tickets; the question was, how much? During a weak moment I reached out to someone on Kijiji. You know where this is going. After taking every precaution I could, I got the short end of the stick. Money was lost. $1000 gone, with nothing to show for it but a police report, and an open case with Interac and a few other agencies. I knew I had a pretty good chance at getting my money back, but the loss of the tickets is what stung the most.
I checked Ticketmaster every day, every couple hours, analyzed how ticket prices were looking on Stubhub and weighed out my options. All the while we had one last chance. A literal lottery setup by the Tragically Hip to award 50 lucky fans, 2 tickets each to the final show in Kingston, that was our way in. But that was a long shot, a pipe dream, next to no chance of happening right? Right?
So I thought.
..Part 2 coming soon..

Monday is the first day of school for the DeKalb County School System, therefore for hundreds of Children this will be their first day of a new school and for their Parents, it will be a right of passage that will be documented with photos and maybe a tear. Please take it slow & easy on the roads this week and above all please be patient & kind for those experiencing this special first week of school.
Elementary school starts about 7:30 so please don't be passing Chesnut on North Peachtree, Austin on Roberts or Dunwoody Elementary on Womack around this time unless you really have to!
Peachtree Middle School starts about 8:30 so again stay away from North Peachtree around this time if you can help it.
Dunwoody High starts at 8:00 am, so it is expected that Vermack and Womack will be a nightmare at 7:30. PS - If your Sophomore or Junior plans on driving, please have them explore parking at St. Lukes on Mt. Vernon by picking up an application in the office.
I am guessing the Dunwoody Police will be out in force for the start of school, so please keep it slow and obey the traffic/parking regulations.
Tips for Motorists
- Be alert for school speed zones and obey the posted speed limits.
- Watch for school buses. Red flashing lights and an extended stop arm indicate the school bus is stopping to load or unload children. State law requires you to stop.
- Keep an eye out for children walking in the street, especially where there are no sidewalks.
- Be alert for children playing and gathering near bus stops, as well as those who may dart into the street without looking for traffic.
- When backing out of a driveway or leaving a garage, watch for children walking or riding a bicycle.
- When driving in neighborhoods or school zones, watch for young people who may be in a hurry to get to school and may not be thinking about getting there safely.
- Leave early enough to not be passing an elementary school near the starting time of 7:30 / 7:45; the students need to be there then - you do not.
Tips for Parents
- Be a good role model. Always buckle up in the car, always wear a helmet when biking, and always follow pedestrian safety rules. DO NOT text or talk on the phone while driving.
- Supervise young children as they are walking to school, biking to school or as they wait at the school bus stop.
- Have your children wear bright clothing so motorists can easily see them.
- Make sure your child is properly buckled up in a weight-appropriate child safety seat in the back seat.
- Make sure that your teenage driver understands and obeys all state traffic laws.
- Allow lots of extra time the first several weeks of school as everyone is learning a new routine.

The Blob's Park music hall is an institution just east of the BW Parkway south of Rte 175. Polka music, good German beer and German food like sausages, sauerkraut, and schnitzel. It actually closed at the end of 2008, but then re-opened when the re-development of the property fell apart.
I haven't actually been myself. We're sausage fans, and Mrs. HowChow has happily gone out for many blog-related meals that she didn't expect to love. But she drew the line at polka, and I'm not going to push it soon even though I know she'd go if I asked. (I have my eyes on a Korean-inspired sandwich that I want to try first.)
You should go try the beer, the dancing and the food. They're celebrating Oktoberfest for six weekends! So I'm collecting some reviews from Capital Spice, Owen Brown News, and the Food and Wine Blog. For special events, there are often detailed updates on Max's beer offerings on the Beer in Baltimore blog. There was even a polka article in the City Paper. This is a piece of the Capital Spice review:
The beer on hand at Blob's Park is an outstanding representation of traditional German styles, including labels you aren't likely to find outside of a import-beer focused restaurant like Birreria or Granville Moore's. The food is definitely German and very bier hall flavored. Ever since the reopening, most dinners are served all-you-can-eat buffet style, with ample white sausages, sauerkraut, white potatoes, schnitzel, and steamed vegetables to be had for the taking. If you call ahead to reserve a table, which we do recommend for nights with more popular bands, you will be assigned a helpful no-fuss waitress to make sure your beer pitchers are full and empty plates are cleared.
If you've never been to Blob's Park, or never seen the jubilant wonder that is live polka, this is the perfect time of year to start. Oktoberfest is upon us and every Saturday night from September 19 to the end of October, Blob's Park features special uberrad Oktoberfest events, and all with a cover of $15 or less.
(Update: Definitely check out the comments below. K8teebug says make a reservation for Oktoberfest and other folks describe their visits in the past. You might want to try a Saturday night when the place is packed.)

Hope for the survival of two of the world's most endangered primates has been renewed after China and Vietnam created sanctuaries for them last month.
One reserve, in Khau Ca forest, Ha Giang Province, northern Vietnam, contains 90 Tonkin snub-nosed monkeys (Rhinopithecus avunculus), the UK-based conservation charity Fauna & Flora International said in a news statement this week.
FFI Photo by Xi Zhinong, Wild China
The new 2000-hectare [5,000-acre] nature reserve also supports a relatively pristine subtropical forest with a wide range of other wildlife like macaques, lorises, small carnivores and rare plants, FFI said.
"This new reserve protects the most viable Tonkin snub-nosed monkey population and so represents the species' best chance for survival," said Paul Insua-Cao, FFI's Vietnam Primate Programme Manager. "FFI is proud to have helped to establish the protected area and congratulates the provincial government and local communities on their new nature reserve."
The other reserve, just across the border in China, more than quadruples the amount of protected forest for the cao vit gibbon (Nomascus nasutus), FFI said.
FFI photo of cao vit gibbon by Zhao Chao
"The cao vit gibbon is considered the world's second most endangered primate and both species are in the top 25 most endangered primates.
"These two protected areas together contain the world's last cao vit gibbons."
"The new 6,530-hectare [16,000-acre] Bangliang Nature Reserve, in Guangxi Province, is directly adjacent to Vietnam's Cao Vit Gibbon Conservation Area, which FFI helped to establish in 2007. These two protected areas together contain the world's last cao vit gibbons."
"FFI has been encouraging the local government to establish this new reserve ever since the species was discovered in China in 2006," said Luo Yang, FFI's China Programme Manager. "The cao vit gibbon currently lives mainly on the Vietnamese side of the border, but it now has the chance to safely extend its population into China. The future for the species now looks much brighter."
FFI photo of Tonkin snub-nosed monkey by Xi Zhinong, Wild China
There are just 110 cao vit gibbons and around 200 Tonkin snub nosed monkeys left in the world, according to FFI. Both species are listed as Critically Endangered in the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List of Threatened Species.
The main threat to both the Tonkin snub-nosed monkey and the cao vit gibbon is habitat-loss. according to FFI.
"They live in rain forests with unique and fragile limestone mountain ecosystems, which are suffering from the collection of firewood, livestock grazing, agricultural encroachment, all of which stem from poverty."
FFI photo of cao vit gibbon by Zhao Chao
FFI engages with local communities to reduce the threats to the two primates. For example, simple and cost-effective measures such as providing villagers with fuelefficient stoves are helping to relieve pressure on the cao vit gibbon's habitat, the charity said.
"In addition, FFI has established community groups to patrol and protect the forest.
"The organization was a critical player in the creation of the two new nature reserves. The in-country teams worked with Chinese and Vietnamese authorities to ensure local people were consulted during the protected area planning process."
FFI will continue to support conservation in both new protected areas by monitoring biodiversity, facilitating community engagement, helping to improve local livelihoods, enhancing the local conservation authorities' skills and resources and also encouraging trans-boundary cooperation for the cao vit gibbon.

This process is both an art and a science. There are far too many variables involved to make it a purely scientific exercise. Experimentation, based on intelligence about the products and your market is the best option. In order to do this, you must collect the data and develop, or somehow acquire the tools to test each and every product in your store, and squeeze every penny you can out of every one of them. And the quickest way to do this is to monitor the turns.
A colleague of mine brought up an excellent question the other day, "How can you look at the turns and determine how a product is performing?" The answer is: to be aware of the turns to begin with. You should be able to pull up the information you need for any item at any time.
Take a look at this simple chart at http://www.cstorepod.com/html/exercise__4_-5.html
Notice how the sales begin to slide going into October. Something happened. Do sales for this product normally drop off at this time of year? Maybe there were stock-outs, maybe the price is too high. The point is, does anybody know why our biggest seller in milk products began to drop its turns?
You may say, "There are 3,000 items in my store, how will I know which items I need to look at?" Your computer should tell you when something goes wrong and alert you of situations like this. A computer system that monitors an item's turns every day can notice abnormal trends before humans become aware of them. In most cases like the one above, the opportunity to correct a problem is lost forever, because by the time you're made aware, the opportunity for more sales are lost forever. Like the Persian poet Omar Khayyám wrote, "The moving finger writes, and having writ moves on."
You may recall in the movie '2001' when the H.A.L. computer sensed a problem with a piece of equipment and alerted the crew it would malfunction within a certain number of hours. Although the movie was science fiction, in some ways the capabilities of today's computers have equaled that of the H.A.L. computer in the movie; e.g. in our system, when something appears to be abnormal, we alert our customers via email, or even on their cell phones. We do it all the time, and the advantage of knowing something is amiss translates into profits.
For example: If we haven't received a POS transaction within the past five minutes, an alert is sent via email as a warning. Five minutes later, if there is still no data from the POS, the computer moves the alert to a higher status, etc. Within fifteen minutes, if the computer is still not able to contact the POS, everyone who is responsible for that store knows about it. As the constant nagging reaches fever pitch, someone is going to take action to fix the problem… I guarantee it.
You may also look at the turns of the same product in other stores, and if you find it higher, the answer might be right under your nose.
If something's headed in the wrong direction, the distance between you and it will only get further away. Sometimes all it takes is a gentle nudge to get it back on course… that is, if you correct it quickly enough. Wait a little longer and you may have to go hunting for it.
How many Snicker bars do you have on your shelves this very minute? Are their turns increasing or decreasing? Will the product last until the next delivery? Can you decrease you cost and increase your turns, making a higher overall profit? It's all about pennies that accumulate into nickels and dimes and hopefully profit within your categories. You can't just look at a category and see what's wrong. You've got to have extensive knowledge of the items. Categories may display symptoms, but you'll need more than symptoms to fix a category that's ailing.

New York City Short-Term Luggage Storage
New York City has several short-term luggage storage providers. With a few exceptions, most are clustered in the triangle formed by the city's three largest transportation terminals: Grand Central Terminal, the Port Authority Bus Terminal and Penn Station.
Some reasons to consider short-term luggage storage include:
- You have a long layover and would like to sightsee
- You arrive in the morning, but cannot check-in to your hotel until the afternoon
- Your bus, train or flight is delayed
- Your "light" backpack is no longer light, but you don't want to go back to your hotel
- You are coming directly from the airport to meet someone, but do not have time to check-in to your hotel
Although they vary in appearance, these short-term luggage facilities all offer a similar service: providing a safe and worry-free way to store your luggage when you want or need to have your hands free.
If you really want your hands free of luggage, however, we recommend the services of Luggage Free, with whom TripHoney has partnered. Luggage Free will pick up your luggage at your door and deliver it to your final destination, even if it's on the other side of the world. Door-to-door service. Now that's hands-free traveling.
For your convenience, we suggest first viewing this map to determine which short-term luggage storage facility is most convenient for you. Click the colored symbols for location names. For a larger view, click the square in the top-right corner of the map.
Private Companies Offering Short-Term Luggage Storage
For the most accurate prices, schedules and location information, please click on the name of each company below.
Perhaps the most elegant location and among the friendliest. They have computers and printers available for your travel-related tasks.
They are located on the 3rd floor of a building without an elevator, but don't worry. Ring the bell twice if you need assistance. Someone will come down to help you. Ring the bell once if you do not need assistance. The door will simply open.
To our knowledge, Vertoe is the short-term luggage storage provider with the most locations in New York City. And they're growing.
This peppy start-up is what entrepreneurs call a market disruptor, meaning they enter an established industry, but do things completely differently.
Traditionally, short-term luggage storage providers have operated their own company-run stores. In Vertoe's case, they have no stores of their own.
Instead, they focus on creating a varied network of small businesses that rent their extra space to travelers needing short-term luggage storage.
You, the traveler, benefit from this in two ways: 1. The number and geographic diversity of locations expands 2. Lower overhead means lower prices for you.
If, for some reason, you need to access your luggage outside of normal business hours, this company will accommodate you. There is an extra fee for this, of course, but you effectively have 24-hour access to your possessions.
This is also the only company that offers a clothes-changing area. You do not have to be a luggage storage customer to change clothes there, but there is a fee.
They are located between 2nd and 3rd Avenues. This may be a convenient option if you are closer to the East Side than Midtown.
AIE's primary businesses include shipping, copying, printing, scanning, internet, mailbox rentals and other business services. Luggage storage is a secondary business for them, but as with the others, they are a safe and reliable option.
Luggage Keeper epitomizes the essence of a short-term luggage business: it is a space where someone receives and watches over your luggage until you return for it. Nothing more, nothing less.
The largest and most well-known short-term luggage storage company in New York, Schwartz now has three locations. Two in Manhattan and one adjacent to John F. Kennedy Airport (JFK) in Queens.
The JFK location offers pick-up and drop-off service.
City Co-Pilot is the only short-term luggage storage business in southern Manhattan. This is the most convenient option if you are staying or moving about in lower Manhattan.

Michelle "Bombshell" McGee wants you to know that she isn't a racist. Really, she isn't.
In an interview with radaronline, Jesse James' ex-lover discussed the "W" and "P" (for White Power) inked on the back of her legs. And the swastika imprinted in a secret place that she claims was really, really small. (Apparently size does matter.)
As expected, the tattoo model has an explanation for all of her bigoted ink:
She grew up in a small, lily-white town and her community was narrow minded so she didn't know anyone of a different race and didn't know any better.
Gee. I have friends who'd grown up in teeny towns without a hint of racial diversity and remarkably, they never had any racist tats. And you know what? They're offended by her too. This is hardly the teenage misadventure that she's trying to make it out to be.
But let's be fair. People do really dumb things when they're kids and shouldn't be penalized their entire life for it. And it's true that she has since covered over the swastika and seems remorseful.
So when did McGee lose me? She posed in a Nazi suit and swastika arm band when she was an adult and explained it away with this:
"It's just a character. It's just a role… It was just a costume that I put on."
She goes on to compare her photo shoot to Tom Cruise's portrayal of a Nazi in Valkyrie and Edward Norton's skinhead character in American History X.
Um ... not so much.
If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck....
Next thing you know she'll be photographed with a sheet on her head next to a burning cross with the excuse that she was walking in the woods with Mel Gibson and a tablecloth dropped on her head.
Do you believe it when McGee claims that she isn't a racist?

I Can't Go For That (No Can Do)
There were a handful of teachers from my grade school days that managed to imprint themselves on the soft clay of my prepubescent cerebrum. Miss Bergman, my kindergarten teacher, was one. She had a knack for slipping character-building chores into our day so they almost went unnoticed. We painlessly swallowed cleaning the blackboard, organizing our cubbies and arranging chairs for story time. Every kid went about these tasks with Snow White-and-the-Seven-Dwarfs merriment. Every kid that is except Maureen Moriarty.
Maureen was a 5-year-old-princess with a type A personality who could play sick at the drop of a hat. Like a sorceress she would conjure up full-blown ailments ranging from nosebleeds to sinus infections in a moment's notice.
For us it was: "Children! Story time." and we'd dutifully grab our chairs placing them in semi-circle formation.
For Maureen it was: "Mucus exploding out of your nostrils again sweetheart? Don't worry. Stand here by me while Johnny gets your seat."
Forty-three years later I was in the ICU dealing with an explosion situation of my own. A dissected carotid artery had turned my 47-year-old brain into helpless baby mush. Maureen's get-out-of-jail-free sympathy that I used to envy was now mine in spades. "Poor thing" and "what a trooper" were being whispered behind my back.
Let's be honest, a stroke can make you look and feel pathetic. One's sense of swagger and machismo tends to evaporate when you're an adult man and you can't be trusted holding a glass of water without the aide of a nurse.
"John, let me help you with that."
"You'll help me sip my Wa-Wa?"
"Of course honey."
"Will you tuck me in too?"
"With my favorite blankey?"
"If it makes you happy."
Two and a half months later I was plucked from the nurturing bosom of hospital care and released into the bloodstream of humanity where I would be accountable for my behavior and expected to overcome basic obstacles like everyone else. Starting at home.
Aha! But now I had something in my back pocket that even Maureen didn't have…the stroke card! And much to my wife Marilyn's dismay I pulled it out every chance I got.
"Wanna do the laundry together?"
"Love to, but I had a stroke."
"How about making the bed?"
"Hel-looo, arm doesn't work."
"What about a little dusting?"
"Sorry, no can do."
Soon the stroke card became addictive. I found myself pulling it out all the time. An aura of atrophy hovered over me like a storm cloud. People kowtowed to me like I was Henry VIII — cutting my food, carrying my packages, or reading me the paper. Even other disabled humans got into the act to the point where a random stranger in a motorized scooter insisted on driving me across the street.
There comes a time in life when you should reassess your situation, and being transported across 5th Avenue on the boney lap of a guy in a Hoveround seemed like the right time. Suddenly I had a cinematic view of my body draped over Scooter-Dude and it wasn't a pretty picture. That's when it hit me — I had become Maureen Moriarty.
So I went home, grabbed a bottle of Tide and headed down to the laundry room.

Politics and Society Articles on Social, Political, Cultural Awareness and Historical Issues
Language program administrators often struggle with how to promote their programs
They want to increase student enrollment and retention in the programs and yet, resources of time and money are often scarce. Moreover, many administrators lack training or interest in marketing and so, it gets pushed aside. Or half-hearted attempts are made through endeavours such as producing a brochure using a template from MS Word.
It explains the positive effect learning a second language had on me.
A few days ago I was sorting through some old documents. I came across this piece that I wrote for the students of a Spanish class I was teaching at Mount Royal University a few years ago. It explains the positive effect learning a second language had on me, acting as an anchor and source of inspiration at one of the most stressful points in my early adulthood. Here's the story I shared with my students:
What is cross cultural awareness?
Cross cultural awareness is figuring out why people from backgrounds that differ from our own act the way they do and using that information to have better relationships with those them. It will help you predict how people who come from different backgrounds will act, speak, think, make decisions and perceive the world.
It is important to note that this does not mean endorsing stereotypes or pigeonholing people into categories. It is about being open-minded and willing to understand others for who they are.
Interview With Paul Hurst, Leicester Based Portrait Photographer And A Gallery Of His Works
Tell us briefly about yourself
I was born and raised in Leicestershire, England and still live in the wonderful county today with my wife and two young daughters.
I have a background in IT but always held an interest in photography, using and owning many different cameras over the years. The link between IT and digital photography has helped me enormously in developing my craft and taking it to the next level.
Interview With A London Based Russian Artist - Rinat Shingareev With A Gallery Of His Pop Iconographic Works
Hi Renat, please tell us briefly about yourself
My art education career began in Russia, where I finished a fine arts school and took a multitude of courses from interior design to web design. Those years also involved a lot of gallery shows of my paintings. Later on, I continued my education in Italy, where I finished the Fine Art Academy with honors. My works have been exhibited in group shows through out Italy, Germany and Austria and I've appeared in many Italian magazines. My paintings are done with oils on canvas.

Exciting times ahead: Just one week from today, on Monday February 2nd, my fourth solo album Walking Into White will be released in the UK and Europe! It won't be released in North America until August, closer to my September-October US tour, but even if you're in the US or Canada you can still buy the album directly from me (see info below).
It's already been getting a bit of radio airplay and some nice reviews: Johanna B. Bodde at InsurgentCountry.net called it "A combination of seasoned craft and innovative ideas ... Highly recommended," while Michel Preumont of concerts-review.over-blog.com described it as "Original, acrobatique et audacieux ... Un album brillant ouvrant de nouvelles perspectives pour Sarah McQuaid." (Original, acrobatic and audacious ... A brilliant album that opens new perspectives for Sarah McQuaid).
It's a step in a new direction for me, with new producers (Jeremy Backofen and my cousin Adam Pierce) and a very different soundscape and feel to my previous work. It's also probably the most honest and personal album I've ever made, and I have to confess that I'm a little anxious about how it'll be received by my long-term fans. I do feel strongly that this was the right album for me to make at this point in time, and I hope you like it as much as I do.
If you do decide to buy the new album, you'll notice that there's an option to add on to the standard price of £12 Stg. I paid for this album with borrowed money, so if you felt inclined to make an additional contribution, that would be absolutely wonderful and I'd be hugely grateful, although it's totally fine if you don't! I'm also very happy to enclose signed posters, handwritten lyrics and the like, if that's of interest; just let me know what you want from me and I'll see what I can do.
In a few more weeks I'll be heading out on tour in the UK, Netherlands, Belgium, Germany and Ireland (North and South), with the official album launch at Podiumcafé Peter en Leni in Steendam, Netherlands, on Friday March 6th (plus two DADGAD guitar workshops at the same venue on the following day). See tour dates listed at right; I'm sorry that not all of them are listed on my website as yet, but they will be very soon.
Once the tour gets under way, you'll find lots of chat and photographs in daily updates on my Facebook page and Twitter account. If you're able to make it to one of the shows, it would be great to see you there, and please do help to spread the word if you can.

Nokia posts funny Condescending Wonka meme to take a jab at Samsung's S4 Zoom again
After showing how enthusiasts taped a DSLR-style lens to a Lumia 920, Nokia posted a fan-created meme to expand on the jab against the not-very-portable Galaxy S4 Zoom. Listing a popular Condescending Wonka meme this time, it hints at the 25mm thick in the lens part camera with phone functions that is the S4 Zoom.
Nokia is taking pride in solving the zoom dilemma with the Nokia 808 PureView and the upcoming EOS handset by using lossless zoom without any protruding contraptions and overly unwieldy dimensions, so it recently invited us to an event to see the "Zoom. Reinvented.", where the EOS is expected to take the stage.
