2016 was a great year at Prime Slots with thousands of new players joining us in search of fun and prizes. We launched some superb new games from NetEnt and other top designers, and had a record number of winners. One lucky player from Norway won over €500,000 playing Fruity Friends!
Over a dozen other players from across Europe were also celebrating with six figure wins, and loads more were reaching for the champagne after winning cash prizes of €10,000 and upwards. We can't count how many players got nice surprises in the form of enough money for a good night out or a mini shopping spree. The best news is that there are still plenty of Prime Jackpots waiting to be won and we'll be hoping to see more big winners in 2017.
We'll take a look back at some of the big events of 2016 and a look forward at some of the good things that we've got lined up for the New Year.
Going for Gold
The Best
2016 also produced plenty of other real winners with Britain's Chris Froome winning the 103rd Tour de France tournament in July. Team GB enjoyed its most successful summer Olympics for over 100 years. British athletes won a total over 67 medals including an astonishing 27 gold medals in Rio de Janeiro.
One of the first big events of 2016 was the Academy Awards (better known as the Oscars) at the end of February. The film Spotlight won the award for best picture and Alejandro G. Innaritu won the prize of best director for historical action movie The Revenant. Leonardo DiCaprio won an Oscar for best actor – also in The Revenant – and Brie Larson won best actress for her performance in the film Room. An estimated 35 million people watched this year's Oscars generating massive publicity for the featured films.
And the Worst…
The night before the Oscars was an event that Hollywood would prefer didn't exist: The 36th Golden Raspberry Awards held at the Palace Theatre in Los Angeles. The 'Razzies' are a parody of the Oscars and award prizes for the worst films and performances of the previous year. Fifty Shades of Grey was the overall 'winner' with awards for Worst Picture, Worst Actor, Worst Actress, Worst Screen Combo and Worst Screenplay!
Some Fun Facts from 2016
Only in America…
On Jan 13, 2016 the American Powerball lottery produced the world's largest ever lottery jackpot of $1.5 billion!!! The huge prize was divided between 3 winning tickets. After taxes and deductions the winners were left with an estimated $187.2 million each in the form of annuities.
But perhaps the biggest winner of the year was Bill Gates who hit the number 1 spot on the global richlist of billionaires. His fortune is now worth $75 billion and still growing…
Remember these?
Slots fans are old enough to know what we're talking about when we mention VCRs or video cassette recorders, but their kids won't have a clue. When VCRs hit the high street in the early 80s they were regarded as space age technology and must-haves. Now they are part of entertainment history with the last ever unit produced on July 22nd 2016 by Japanese manufacturer Funai.
It's Unbeardlievable
On January 23rd 8 workers from Cairo's Egyptian Museum were recommended for prosecution. Their crime – reattaching Tutankhamun's beard with 'inappropriate glue'. It wouldn't have happened when the Pharaohs were in charge!
To all our slots fans
It was great having you with us in 2016 and thank you for choosing Prime Slots! We're working overtime to bring you a dozens of exciting new games right through the coming year. There'll be even more fun and prizes, even more winners and a great Prime Slots social scene with competitions and promotions on Facebook and this blog. Happy New Year and slots of luck for 2017!

I was developing a schism in my face...
My left side of my face, and particularly my eye, was becoming slightly more droopy and I just figured it was biology but then the reason why just hit me!? I was laying in bed sorta just thinking/resting/letting free thought come into my head and I realized why it was happening?! I had ONE LAMP on my desk on ONE side and I just thought of those OLDE WORLDE oil paintings of like an old man with a quill pen TOILING by a candle and I realized OMG THATS IT?! Im TOILING with one light on one side so my face is unconsciously sorta squinting?! If that thought had not come to me Id never have figured it out and would have just thought it was nature. So I went out and bought another lamp! So now I have balanced light! My apartment is so dark I need it anyways. Then I had to buy two matching black rectangular shades though because I cant handle non matching shades on one table it'll make me insane.

Two former Celtic players Virgil Van Dijk and Victor Wanyama made the headlines alongside Harry Kane and Mohamed Salah as Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur shared four goals and an incredible finale to the match at Anfield.
The Reds, leading 1-0 thanks to an early goals scored by Mo Salah, were trying to see the game out when Wanyama fired an electrifying 25 yard shot into the net just a minute after coming on as a substitute.
Seven minutes later Kane saw his penalty denied by Liverpool goalkeeper using that boost to go in front through a brilliant striker from Salah.
The scintillating match wasn't finished with Tottenham awared a second penalty ending into stoppage time when van Dijk barged into the back of Erik Lamela with Kane making no mistake with his second penalty of the day to score his 100th goal in the Premier League.
Wanyama and van Dijk both made their way from Celtic to Southampton for fees in the region of £12m with their hoops careers overlapping by a month in 2013 before the van Djik made his way to St Mary's. At least it's well said Celtic have made some stars. Check out fans reaction below:
That Wanyama goal in itself is enough to be worthy of getting a result from any game. Buried that ball like a bastard. At the Kop end as well. Won't see a better strike of a ball all season.

Kandi Burruss Responds To Restaurant Violations !!
|Kandi Burruss Responds To Restaurant Violations !!
After the news went viral, Kandi gave an exclusive interview providing clarity about the controversy.
Find out what happened and if you should eat at the Old Lady Gang restaurant!
finally opened this spring and was graded a "C" by the Georgia Health Inspector according to online records dated August 24. Yikes! Here were some of the establishment's codes in violation listed online by the Georgia Department of Health:
- Adequate handwashing facilities supplied & accessible
- Food-contact surfaces: cleaned & sanitized
- Proper cold holding temperatures
- Personal cleanliness
- Wiping cloths: properly used and stored
- Food and nonfood-contact surfaces cleanable, properly designed, constructed, and used
- Physical facilities installed, maintained, and clean
However, records also show that another inspection was performed on August 28, where the restaurant received an "A" after fixing the previous infractions. We guess Kandi had to boss up on her staff to get to get the job done.
"I want to be open for a month before we do a big grand opening, and that's just because clearly people are just waiting for something negative to say about me," Burruss told sources back in March.
"So I have to make sure my staff is on point and make sure the kitchen is running on point. Everything has to be perfect before we make big announcements.
|Old lady Gang
So what I was told, the best thing to do is to do a soft opening, which is just [it's] open without telling people. And then just let the staff serve people and then we know who we need to fire or keep on."
"We did receive a C because of minor things like we ran out of paper towels by the sink, or someone was missing a hair net… we quickly corrected those things & now have an A," she said. "I'm sure those people who were googling had to see the A but they failed to mention it," she stated after news broke of the bad rating.
Kandi added, "I just don't understand why people don't want my family and I to be great. We love our customers and someone from my family is always there to greet people and give hugs."
In case you were wondering what OLG was serving up, it's menu includes decadent Southern favorites like fried chicken and French toast, shrimp and grits, catfish strips and more.

National Guard kid and 5th grader Michael Yee puts a lot of stock in the simple but important things in life, like good manners. So he knew exactly what he had to do when Vice President Mike Pence accidentally elbowed him in the face at the end of some remarks at the White House this week: ask for an apology.
The hunt for that apology was captured in has quickly become a viral Huffington Post video. Thanks to the proximity of a few microphones, every word Michael said while trying to get Pence's attention was captured -- even though his mother, Ingrid Herrera-Yee, who standing nearby, couldn't hear any of it.
"He accidentally bopped me in the head – it wasn't hard but it still kind of bothered me, so I was just like 'excuse me' because I wanted an apology," Michael told me. "It's just good manners. Plus I didn't enjoy getting bopped in the head. I know it was an accident, but everybody needs to say sorry."
See the interaction for yourself.
At first Michael was upset that the video, which is on its way to over 2 million views, was so popular. His mom said he thought people were making fun of him. However, when he went to school today his class watched the video several times, called him a "hero" and had a conversation about the importance of manners.
"It's so him because he has this really dry sense of humor and he's all about trying to be polite," Herrera-Yee said. "Everyone who knows him looked at this video and said 'oh my god, that's classic Michael.' He's a kid with a big heart."
Michael and Herrera-Yee were among about 150 military family members to spend a few hours at the White House this week for a military family appreciation ceremony. The event featured a meet and greet with Pence, Karen Pence, first bunny Marlon Bundo and Ivanka Trump, among others.
Although his mom said Michael loved the history of the house, Michael told me that he was particularly impressed by the stairs, numbers of rooms and the presence of ice cream and brownies, proving that kids really do know what is most important in life.
Herrera-Yee said Michael was "in awe" of the Vice President, but when the "bop" happened, he didn't approach the situation any differently than he would've anywhere else.
"It's not political, it's not a statement -- even though it's very strange to see how people respond to these things when there's a politician involved," she said. "It could be a person on the street, or the Vice President or my boss. It doesn't matter who he interacts with, he's like this with everybody."
Herrera-Yee said it's going to be tricky explaining what happened to Michael's dad, who is currently away for training with very little communication. And as for why this video has gone viral, she thinks it's Michael's innocence that has caught everyone's attention.
"Just the pure innocence of it -- that's what's resonating with people," she said.

In case you have chosen to make the dive and find what it resembles to sack a sensuous at that point you might be to some degree uncertain in the matter of what to do and where to begin in this mission. Numerous young Bandra Escorts and more established men too will have never at any point began to consider booking a companion as they very oft connect the training with prostitution or booking a hooker.
It is never again like that. We are well into the 21st century and the way it was in the twentieth century is in no way like it is today. Bandra Escorts can be procured only for companionship and somebody to converse with, or just as a man to go with you on the association's conference when your spouse is either not accessible or essentially doesn't exist by any means.
It is a typical sight in numerous company classes and business end of the week meals played out in the avenues of the city, that one of the directors or CEO's has booked a companion as a man to stay with them while alternate specialists parade their critical spouses, lady friends, and husbands. No one gets a kick out of the chance to be separated from everyone else, particularly when whatever remains of the business group in your vast association shakes up with somebody on their arm and you wind up resembling an extra part.
Be that as it may, there is never any requirement for concern with regards to discretion. Your private companion will be careful; she won't go yelling off to every one of your companions, associates and the individuals who know you that she is an elite companion. They will even work out a pre-arranged thing to state when that nosey associate called Nora from Accounts asks, "All in all, where did both of you lovebirds get together at that point? Go ahead, spill all the juice please!"
Will undoubtedly happen. It has occurred previously and it will happen once more. The Bandra Call Girls is more than comfortable with the system and on the off chance that she is advised to be a buddy for you at a work business scene or business work, she may even recommend a standard technique of main stories to tell any curious work associate or sniggering staff part.
The primary spot to begin while hunting down a companion is to check the online postings. Generally, you could put a few related keywords into a search engine like Yahoo Search, Google, Bing and look through the returned comes about.
Most men in and around the city have not encountered the miracles of employing an elite girl. However, at any one time, there will be thousands reasoning about the thought and rapidly rejecting it as booking a companion isn't as direct as going somewhere or a container of cola. Or then again is it?
Vicky had never endeavored to book a companion previously and had no clue where to try and start his inquiry. So he endeavored to attempt the experience by doing some examination. He frantically needed some Escorts in Bandra elite company and was feeling the loss of the appeal of a lady seriously since his last relationship separated more than eight years back.
Vicky had been a lonely man for so long that he felt it more likely than not been composed on his brow. He clarified, "Amid my most recent two-year association with a hot 40-year old with long dark hair, I was experiencing no difficulty with ladies. They regularly winked at me and gave me the eye in a bar notwithstanding when I was with my sweetheart."
He went on, "Frequently my sweetheart and I would break out into contentions about young ladies playing with me while she was available, so she didn't get frantic she just got even." The relationship separated due to her envy and her "requital being a tease" with other men.
Despite the fact that Vicky was vexed when he was dumped by instant message following another stormy night at a nearby bar, he knew another sweetheart would go along soon enough. Just it didn't. As he swaggered out with his male mates on a Saturday night and peered toward up the local marvels, he never got to such an extent as a telephone number, a sideways look or anyone dialect that recommended love may be an alternative in the event that he played his cards right.
Actually, when you are a lonely man you are never again holding the fascination of a taken man. Call Girls in Bandra chasing for an accomplice or somebody to love will be normally pulled in to a person with a young lady on his arm, as that tells volumes about his intensity. Also, when that young lady on the arm of a man is strikingly wonderful, he turns into all the more appealing to the contrary sex.
Maybe it's the inclination in a lady that in case he can sack a marvel that way, he should have potential. Similar standards apply, just in invert, for the lamentable single male as well.

FUTILE FANTASY IS BACK!! GET IN THE GAME!! Here are the rules and the player pools you can select from:
Here are the rules again for a quick reminder: remember, you are trying to pick THE WORST team points wise, so cheer for futility.
Who ever has THE LOWEST score wins. So really, we are playing golf. So pick a four pack of bums and get in the game! Here are the rules for a quick refresher.
-Each team will be comprised of one QB, RB, WR and TE. The game is meant to be simple. Pick one of each.
-Each player picked for each position must be a STARTER and must be PLAYING that week. (For instance, you may not pick Matt Cassel because he is not starting (yet), but you may pick Russel Wilson.)
-Your RB slot has to be filled with the first string (and starting) RB from a team. You may not use full backs or H backs.
-Scoring is standard scoring. All touchdowns count as 6 points (including passing TD's). 25 throwing yards equals 1 point. 10 yards rushing and receiving equals 1 point. -2 for fumbles and INT's.
-No decimal point scoring.
-No Monday night players. The reason for this is we will be able to get some instant gratification Sunday night. I will post the winners then.
QB – Jay Cutler, Josh Freeman, Andy Dalton, Michael Vick, Andrew Luck, Matt Schaub, Russel Wilson or Eli Manning.
RB – Adrian Peterson, Jamaal Charles, Demarco Murray, Daren McFadden, Benjarvis Green-Ellis, Reggie Bush, CJ Spiller, Stephen Jackson, Doug Martin, Trent Richardson.

TE – Kyle Rudolph, Jermichael Finley, Jason Wittin, Owen Daniels, Brent Celek, or Jared Cook.
Select one from each pool and leave your team in the comments below! Good luck.

I recently finished this gingham baby quilt in order to practice a new quilting design: Easy Orange Peel. The end result blew me away!
This was a baby quilt I pieced back in junior high for the AIDS Baby Quilt Drive, the first of my quilting for charity. (Does anyone remember that crisis? It was the early 90s & I remember learning about the babies dying from AIDS complications at my LQS & pestering my mom that I needed to make quilts for them. It still gives me upsets me to think of those poor babies.)
I made a lot of quilts for the babies, but somehow this one never got quilted. (hmmm, seems to be a trend with me….) I was digging around the studio for a quilt that would take the Easy Orange Peel design well & came across this one.
What I can't believe is how striking the quilting design made this quilt! I mean, look at the quilt- there's nothing special here, just squares arranged in a diagonal pattern. And gingham squares at that! But the quilting just makes the whole quilt look all snuggly & precious, like you can't wait to find a baby & wrap her up in it!
But Teapot doesn't need another quilt. Really. She doesn't. And I did piece this with the purpose of donating it, so I'll bring it to the next guild meeting & see if we can't find a good home for the quilt.

If I mention a 50 percent discount on hotel rooms, you'd be interested, right? If I tell you that the discounted rooms are available only during the daytime, would you still be? A startup called HotelsByDay is betting you'll say yes.
Think about it. You're just off a red-eye, beat, bleary, bedraggled and – the worst part – homeless for approximately the next 7 hours until check-in time. Or check out is at 11am, but your flight's not 'til dinnertime. What's a guest to do?
Up until now, it's been a matter of pay or pray: pay for an extra night, or pray that the hotel can make you a cheaper deal.
HotelsByDay aims to solve that problem with discounted daytime stays booked via its app or website. It's a win-win for guests, who get bargain-priced rooms, and hotels, who make revenue from rooms that would otherwise sit empty (minus, of course, incremental costs for housekeeping and overhead).
Since launching in February, HotelsByDay has made about 250 bookings at some three dozen hotels in 10 U.S. metro areas, and those numbers have been steadily climbing. Most of the participating hotels are conveniently located in downtowns or near airports or cruise ports. So far, the top markets are New York, Chicago and Miami.
Each hotel determines its own rental period, from four to 9 hours, which is posted along with the daily rate on HotelsByDay's platforms. Day rates can be as much as 50 percent off of overnight rates, generally between about $60 and $180 per daytime stay.
It's not just for out of town visitors, says Jeffrey Osborne, president of Intelligent Hotels and advisor to HotelsByDay. Business people have been booking rooms for meetings and quiet space, and families as a crash pad for day trips.
"One only needs to walk into a local coffee shop to witness business meetings and laptop presentations, or overhear negotiations, business plan discussions and finance arrangements being discussed," he says. A lot of this would presumably be better off in private for reasons of security and efficiency, not to mention a more pleasant experience for other cafe clients.
"We have a fairly small office," says Matt Cohen, founder and CEO of New York City startup Kidfresh, with what he calls "no privacy, just a shared conference table." So when he needed space for confidential meetings, he got a room at a nearby hotel through HotelsByDay, calling the system "really awesome."
For comparison, I spot checked Regus, which rents offices by the day, and found spaces going for between $109 and $189 in the Los Angeles area per 8 hours, or $149 to $289 in Manhattan.
Daytime hotel room rentals aren't new, says Osborne. "They've been around forever," but on an ad hoc basis. HotelsByDay, he says, is the first to systematize it, allowing hotels to sell rooms well in advance, with clearly posted rates on an easy-to-use platform.
And what about the "wink-wink" reputation of daytime hotel stays? Osborne calls that an American thing, and likely to fade as it has elsewhere. "Intraday use is widespread in Asia and growing significantly in Europe, where there is less of a stigma attached to the mid-day use of hotel accommodations." Plus, HotelsByDay's roster includes some pretty classy properties in tony neighborhoods from Midtown Manhattan to Manhattan Beach, Calif.

I think I ended up as Forbes' business travel blogger because I'm the only Wharton MBA to become a travel writer. I grew up in New England and worked in finance in Tokyo before B-school. Later I moved to Los Angeles to work in the film industry. In 1998, stunned by my only ever layoff, I began exercising skills (and, let's be frank, pleasures) I'd long left dormant: writing and traveling. A decade and a half later: so far, so good. In addition to Forbes, I've been published from Travel Leisure and the Los Angeles Times to dozens of Lonely Planet titles. I can speak Japanese and French, read Korean menus and embarrass myself in Spanish, Italian and Chinese. And I continue to polish my business chops with cross-cultural consulting work for companies across the US. In my most traveled year, I logged over 140,000 air miles.

Is it time to apply for a new role and you are unsure what it might be, how to fill out the paperwork, or how to be yourself at interview?
You may simply need some information. Here's an overview as you start the process:
If, having watched Su's videos, you are thinking that you can't, won't or don't want to engage with the process, just two hours in conversation can help you move forward. Our style is simple and effective. Our first question is: 'How can we help you?' You decide where intervention is needed.
By the end of the conversation, you will be able to
- Identify and recognise your transferable skills from the whole of your life and integrate them into an application
- Be looking at future possibilities that fit your vocation
- Get the right job without spin
- Know what you bring to a new job, and communicate that with a potential interviewer
'I came for coaching because I applied for a job I could have done quite well, only I interviewed extremely badly. I met with Claire, and spent two hours with her. I gained greatly from her encouraging attitude and her positive approach. She helped me to see that I greatly undervalued and understated who I was and what I did. I had a potentially excellent CV, but was expressing it in a very unexciting manner. I tended to treat as self-evident things I had done and the approach that I had taken although these could have been major selling points in getting the sort of post that I was capable of.
I now have a far better understanding of what is required, and am confident that if I do myself justice at interview I will get a job that will better enable me to use my strengths to their best advantage. I have also been on an
interviewing panel recently and my understanding of the process and I believe that my appraisal of candidates has been enhanced through my time with Claire. I would happily recommend you to others, especially those who are seeking to move post after a substantial length of time in the same job.'RC
"You offered some very simple advice and techniques that enabled me to totally change the way I present myself in interview and I felt I was able to show the real me. … which made the interview a dynamic dialogue rather than just a Q & A. You also gave me confidence in myself and I was able to go into the interview and clearly articulate with evidence how I fitted the profile."

Our coaches have extensive experience
- of working with clergy at all levels – from those in training to Bishops

Zogby and the DNC Platform Committee, Part 2: History and "History"
There are a few who want you to believe that the sky is falling because Sanders picked Jim to be the Palestine guy on the platform committee. Some from the right wing say he's bad (very bad) for Israel, and some on the left wing insinuate he's a normalizer. We're left pretty dumbfounded by both sides' selective reading of history. Let's be quick and clear, the Holocaust quote being peddled is inaccurate, and the people trying to diminish – or ignore – Jim's position(s) on Palestine are forgetting his role in 1988 with Jesse Jackson, 1992 with Bill Clinton, 2008 and 2012 with Barack Obama, and his civil society work since founding the Palestine Human Rights Campaign in 1976. We don't have too much say about either sides' historical amnesia because we've got actual work to do. Some influential newspapers reporting on what the #DNCDreamTeam means for the issue of Palestine have decided that simple history doesn't sit right with them. Check out how the New York Times has "occupation" and "the plight of the Palestinian people" in quotes – like either is a controversial, debatable statement – and the The Hill did the same thing before they changed it. To all these people, we say in quotes, "seriously, come on."

Evangelist Alveda King: America, Take the Knee
Contact: Leslie Palma, 347-286-7277
ATLANTA, Sept. 26, 2017 /
Christian Newswire
/ -- There are challenges with today's young people wanting to "take the knee" and turn their backs on our
National Anthem
American Flag
. As we honor our nation, it would be good to extend the tradition of honoring America, not by attacking cherished symbols, but by including everyone in the conversations on peace and nonviolence. I for one would like to see the
Negro National Anthem
(Lift Every Voice and Sing) included in tributes to our nation.
What's missing in this situation is a lack of balance due to lack of knowledge regarding the complete and complicated history of the founding and ongoing American struggle for liberty for all Americans; whether it be civil war, war with other nations, domestic squabbles, etc. Our people are truly perishing for lack of knowledge.
Why is the "protest knee" approved while the "freedom to pray knee" forbidden?
Both are constitutional
"Taking the Knee"
is a football or military term used to break an impasse; can also apply to taking a breather or saying a prayer. America truly is at an impasse. So we take the Knee to God. We need to take the knee to DEFUND PLANNED PARENTHOOD!
With the debates regarding immigration versus national safety and security along with the horrific hostile overthrow of statues and monuments across the country we need to take the Knee. Remember: God warns us to avoid idols. Fights over statues of "heroes" causing race wars and fights over patriotic symbols can reek of idolatry.
"You shall not make idols for yourselves or erect an image or pillar, and you shall not set up a figured stone in your land to bow down to it, for I am the LORD your God." Leviticus 26:1
Acts 17:26: God created all human beings of one blood; so regardless of skin color, we are one human race.
Keep it positive. Avoid disruptive news spin. Let's continue to pray for our president and all in authority so that we can live peaceful lives. (1Timothy 2:2)
There's a lot of money at stake in sports, immigration, national memorials, etc. We all have our rants. With all the dissension among us, let's remember that money can be a liberator or a trap. We are one red blooded race. Racism is a sin. Statues are idols. Our cherished flag and national anthem are under God, not to be worshipped. It's time to teach and engage the
Six Steps of Nonviolent Conflict Resolution
For the record, in
The Beloved Community
, God loves everyone; you, me, NFL players, unborn, rich, poor, old, sick, confused. There is far too much bickering over idolatry. Everyone should "take the knee" in prayer, and ask God to heal America. It's truly time for
America to Return to God

AD King, Fred Shuttlesworth and Andy Young take the Knee in 1960s
Frank Pavone and Pat Mahoney "take the Knee for life" in 21st Century

Something Beautiful by Sharon Dennis Wyeth. Illustrated by Chris K. Soentpiet
Published by: Bantam Doubleday Dell Publishing Group, Inc. New York, New York. 1998
Borrowed from: South End branch of The Boston Public Library.
At first, I hesitated about the decision, but finally decided that I would keep this book in the classroom. My hesitation came from my ultra-sensitivity to children's emotions and thoughts. I am so sensitive to children's literature, these days. I find myself critiquing every corner of a page, in every picture book I open. Asking myself questions like, 'Will they be able to process this image in a healthy, constructive way? Are they resilient enough to deal with any kind of reality this book presents in this moment? '. ('They' meaning my students).
As their teacher, it is my duty to protect the mind of a child. Protect their mind against oppressive language, uncomfortable images, or anything else that blocks their healthy desire to be their best. I cannot foster an environment of education with images that do not foster a student's understanding of life, leadership, and longevity. This book does not oppress. I think. But what do I know really? So much of a child's thoughts are scarred. Not all children, and maybe not even most, but some.
When I was in 2nd, 3rd, and 4th grade, I was chubby. Yes, chubby. I hated it. I was so embarrassed anytime the word 'fat', or 'big', was said in a picture book. If the word 'fat' was said in my childhood classrooms, I thought that everyone must be picturing me in their heads at that moment. I wasn't obese. There were larger kids in my grade, but still my self perception, and self worth were already oppressed at a young age. I don't recall feeling oppressed by literature or by my teacher, but I still felt less than beautiful, or not beautiful at all really. So even if the word 'fat' was used to describe someone beautiful, it still made me incredibly uncomfortable. "Even though the other girls called her 'fat', she would ignore them, and was eventually chosen to be the ballerina queen. She was beautiful." This is not a real quote. It is a hypothetical quote from a hypothetical children's book. If a line like this was read, in one of my childhood classrooms, it wouldn't have made a difference in my self worth. I wouldn't have magically believed that yes, I am beautiful and everyone thinks that now, and they don't look at me as if I'm chubby. No. I was not resilient enough as a child, to process such a mantra, in a way that would have made a positive impact. Even if the book's message was to show that 'fat' is beautiful, it would have done more damage to me than good. I would literally think in my head 'doesn't the teacher know how uncomfortable this is for me? She must not care, if other people think I'm fat.' Even though just in 2nd grade, I recall having of issues that the majority of children (two-parent household, affluent children that is) I knew did not have to deal with. Because of the added challenges I faced, compared to my peers, I was less resilient than other children; making my classroom needs different than the rest. If our needs are different, then our educational needs are different. If our educational needs are different, then so are our literary needs.
So with all this being said, Something Beautiful is a beautiful book. My hesitation came from imagining some of my students being too sensitive to the main character living in a neighborhood with lots of trash and neglected spaces. At what point in the story would my students ingest the positive message of the story? How many negative feelings will pass through them first? Will any of my students think, 'Why is my teacher reading a story about the bad parts of my neighborhood? Is she going to tell everyone that I live in a neighborhood like this? Will the other kids not want to be my friend?'.
Anxiety, fear, sadness – are all feelings that block a child's reception to educational information (a.k.a their ability to learn).
This is a book that I will read to children individually, not as a whole group read aloud.
There is nothing negative about this book. It is beautiful. A child just must be emotionally strong and healthy before they can process, and then benefit, from it's message – … within the classroom time allotted. Read-alouds ought always proceed with mindfulness of the whole child. Thank you for reading The Picture Book Pusher

MoM011 - JAB - Erg Herbe (Shelter Press)
JAB, nee John Also Bennett, is a prolific and peaceful artist. His current and collected collaborative efforts are deep and generous, including but not limited to those with Forma, Christina Vantzou, Seabat, and Jon Gibson. At his core is a spring of mellow, focused energy that flows subtly through each new endeavor or project.
Over the last decade, during spare solitary moments and with great intention, JAB has tended to this spring, culminating in Erg Herbe, his first solo flight and offering. With seven steadily unspooling compositions, grown primarily from eurorack oscillators, a micro-tuned DX7, Farfisa organ and a selection of flutes including a Chinese "dizi" flute borrowed from his dad and fellow auteur John M. Bennett, JAB invites us into his inner sanctum.
Written and documented mostly in The Schoolhouse, his New York dwelling, there are two unique site specific recordings at the heart / hearth of the Erg Herbe study. First, the title piece, which features flute recorded inside Katsuhito Nishikawa's sculpture Tilapia at the Museum Insel Hombroich in Neuss, Germany; and second, in "Chanterai por mon coraige," an adaptation of a 13th century French troubadour song by Guiot de Dijon, recorded in a tumbledown mill in the French countryside.
These glimpses of JAB's roving tendencies resonate with the imagistic and phonetically playful album title ("erg," the shifting sand dunes in the desert; and "herbe", French for grass), expressing an artist's inner peace, carrying home with him wherever he roams.
The eleventh entry into our Music of the Month series, each copy of Erg Herbe purchased from Commend will come affixed with a limited edition Obi strip designed by Will Work for Good and riso-printed by Keegan Mills-Cooke. With measureless gratitude to the wizards at Shelter Press.
Pre-order today for imminent physical availability!

I've finally done with exams, and consequently finished with first year at TUKS. It seems as if the year went by so fast.
My programming skill has increased exponentially. The comparison between code from last year and now is incredible. Even some of the old stuff id painful to look at.
Looking forward to the rest of the holidays, and next year! I've got a job at TUKS now as a programming teaching assistant starting next year. I also might be getting a new desktop for Christmas. Finally I can ditch this old Core 2 Duo.

How can we begin to draw a "map" of the participatory journalistic field? Here are some initial metrics:
1. Degree of "participatory-ness": How much do real "citizen journalists" actually contribute to the p.j. organization? For example, perhaps a web site has paid editors and uses citizen journalists as merely stringers or in a supplementary sense. Or, on the other hand, perhaps citizen journalists provide all of the content, including the featured content.
2. Degree of "journalistic-ness": To what degree do p.j. organizations practice "journalism" in the traditional sense; i.e., do their writers go out, interview, dig thorugh documents, give eyewiteness accounts? Or do they simply link to other news that has been reported my the media already and discuss it?
3. Ties to social movements: Do what degree is a p.j. outlet tied to a social movement, and to what degree does it purport to be an "objective" reporter of news?
4. Authority: Need to do more thinking on this one. But there's been some interesting work done on blogging and authority (here for example) and this would seem to be an important thing to figure out.

Are there any symptoms that's show you have negative energy? If so, what are they?
9 Comments
I am told often that I am very negative, I'm 13 and I have thoughts of suicide I don't know what to do I'm always stressed and get mad and frustrated about everything and make other people's day misserable. Help.
Hi, my name is Lucy and i am from jamesville indiana i have you know that im a christian and negativty is more like something bringing you down (The devil) and one way to get rid of it is clean yourself spritually =)
There is nothing like negative energy. One may have negative feelings and emotions. One may direct the efforts for negative aims.
But the energy itself is not negative.
I don't know about symptoms , but if people are always
growling at you…. if people are running from you mid – sentense
if they avoid you soon as they see you.
Then you can be pretty sure your throwing some negative
energy out there !
The thing i think you need to say to yourself is think possitive
do positive things and watch the positve feed-back , instead of
negative feed back… that is the simplest way to explain it.
Its impossible to have negative energy. You can have low energy though, which would mean you feel tired often, and can't concentrate. Do you mean negative personality? This would mean that you are often pessimistic, you are always looking for the bad in things, and in people, and you take pleasure in finding the bad in situations and people.
Depression, bad attitude, constantly arguing over insignificant stuff, distructive behavior (Smoking, excessive drinking, self inflicted wounds, thoughts of suicide)…being cynical, being judgemental, and generally anything of an anti-social nature…
wow uhmmmm i have ALL of those symptoms =/ should i be worried??? I bought a hematite ring to "take away negative energy" but I don't even know if it's real 😮

Undergrowth is a villain who appears in Urban Jungle. He wants to wipe aside humanity for their careless destruction of nature.
He's extremely powerful and almost impossible to defeat by conventional means. Undergrowth is one of Danny's most powerful foes along with Vortex and Dark Danny.
Undergrowth first appeared in "Urban Jungle". Angered that the people of Amity Park were destroying his children for urbanization, he attacked and used mind vines to turn everyone into his slaves. With Sam turned into his "daughter," he had her attack Danny.
However, Danny managed to escape with his new ice powers. Sometime later, Danny returned, having finally mastered his ice powers thanks to Frostbite. Using it, he managed to destroy Undergrowth's new plant world by defeating Undergrowth, he was reduced to a shrub and destroyed by Tucker's lawn mower.
He has a cameo in "Boxed Up Fury", in which the Box Ghost finds a reward for Undergrowth, claiming that he's an overgrown ficus.
Undergrowth's next and final appearance was in "Phantom Planet". He first appeared earlier, when Danny battled him in an attempt to prove his superiority to the "Masters' Blasters", only to fail and for them to capture Undergrowth.
Undergrowth later appeared as one of the millions of ghosts who agree to help Danny save Earth from the Disasteroid.
Undergrowth is depicted as a giant, vaguely humanoid being apparently composed of plant-matter in the form of vines with a face. He has red eyes, has darker green hands, and four spikes on his head.
Undergrowth favors plants over animal life. To him, they are his "children". He sees humans as fragile, temporary lives that won't last long. He prefers using humans to do his dirty work.
However, he does show some respect to humans who want to help nature, such as Sam. He is also very proud of his own power, especially regeneration.
Sam Manson
Despite his hatred of humans, Undergrowth did sense that Sam was helping nature; as such he "replanted" her, and remolded her mind to think of him as a "father" and to help him look after his plant children.
Danny Phantom
Undergrowth sees Danny as his main enemy and a threat for his goals of world domination, as such he wants to feed him to his plant children.
Powers and Abilities
Undergrowth is easily one of the strongest ghosts ever and said to be nearly impossible to defeat. Many of his powers are derived from his control over plants.
- Intangibility: Standard ghost power.
- Chlorokinesis: As the ghost of plants, Undergrowth can completely control all types of botanical life. He can also manipulate them and speed up their aging process, causing, for example, acorns to become fully grown trees in seconds, and a city to transform into a jungle in a few hours. These plants are shown to be directly linked to him, as when he was defeated, they die. His control is presumably on a global level. They are useless againts ice/cold powers and possibly fire/heat powers may affect/limit this power.
- Plant Creation: Undergrowth is able to create and manipulate all types of different plants, to the point where he can create new types of plants, never seen before, like giant venus flytraps and giant cactus men.
- Mind Control/Sentience Infusion: Undergrowth can use mind vines to take control of humans, and also brainwash humans to join him, while retaining their personality, only becoming his minion. It may derived from his overshadowing. He can make plants sense, see and move on their own, although he can still control them, if the need arises.
- Power Sharing: He can infuse other creatures, be it humans or ghosts, with some of his powers.
- Sleep Inducement: In "Urban Jungle", Undergrowth can produce spores that put others to sleep. As he did to put Team Phantom to sleep so he can capture them. The only Ghost who share this power is Nocturn and his Sleepwalkers
- Ghost Power Weakening: In "Urban Jungle", Undergrowth manages to cancel out Danny's ghost energy and intangibility using his power by keeping him in his vines.
- Size Enhancement: He has shown that he is able to grow to enormous sizes in seconds. (Probably because he is a plant himself)
- Regeneration: He is one of a small number of ghosts that can easily regenerate lost body parts and reform after being blown or shattered into pieces.
- Supernatural Strength: Undergrowth is capable of ripping solid concrete like paper, crushing trucks like tinfoil and bring down entire buildings with nothing but his might.
- Spectral Body Manipulation: Since his body is a plant Undergrowth is able to manipulate the vines wrapped around his body, and use them as extra limbs. His vines are strong enough to easily crash trucks and cars and hold ghosts, as Danny's strength couldn't even tensed them. His vines can also control ghost energy, as Danny couldn't use his energy blasts or intangibility. As a plant he can stretch, bend, and twist as necessary.
- Duplication: He could cause multiple versions of himself to grow, providing him with duplicates, only they all shared one mind.
- Spike Generation: Besides of having them on the vines that surround his body, he can throw them as projectiles, and they are strong enough to pierce concrete and brick walls.
- Root Form: He can sink into the Earth then regrow in a different place, thus giving him a sort of teleportation.
His main weaknesses is extreme cold (and assumable fire). Danny's freeze powers weakened Undergrowth completely. His roots and brain are also his main weak spot. Also, when destroyed he will revert into a weed-like state that might take a long time to return to normal. When last seen at the end of "Urban Jungle," he had managed to regenerate into a small, rudimentary form despite his earlier defeat at Danny's hands, only to be reduced to mulch by Tucker's lawnmower.
Season 3
- 306. "Urban Jungle"
- 308. "Boxed Up Fury" (pictured)
- 312. "Phantom Planet" (no lines)
- "ARGH!! Flesh-dwellers, you have caused pain to my children once too often!"
- "Now you too shall feel pain... the pain of Undergrowth!"
- "Pitiful human race, your "progress" has destroyed acres of my children, now I shall destroy you to make room for my new offspring!"
- "You can´t destroy a being who's able to regenerate himself!"
- "Ugh, such limited lifeforms. Although instant destruction is an option... I feel the replanting will be more productive!"
- "Rejoice, for a new era is taking root!"
- "Yes, the growth is far stronger than any meat creature, no matter how powerful they think they are."
- "Perhaps one day you will see that this is what nature intended all along."
- "Mankind is merely a temporary weed in the garden of life... a weed that can be removed."
- "Your pessimistic, but accurate friend, is right. Observe, your once proud progressive metropolis."
- "The mind vine enables me to control the inhabitants' every movement. Why should I burden myself with the destruction of your city, when I can have its own citizens do it for me."
- Undergrowth is one of the few evil ghosts that have never been seen being caught in the Fenton Thermos.
- Undergrowth is voiced by legendary actor Mark Hamill, who is well known for roles like Luke Skywalker from Star Wars, and The Joker in most media featuring Batman (the latter of which found him a niche in the world as the voice of "powerful" villainous characters, like Firelord Ozai from Avatar: The Last Airbender, Malefor from The Legend of Spyro: Dawn of the Dragon, Darth Bane from Star Wars: The Clone Wars, etc.).
- The word ''Undergrowth'' describes a dense growth of shrubs and other plants, especially under trees in woodland.
- Undergrowth also serves as the main villain of Danny Phantom: Urban Jungle, a game based on his debut episode.

This is a quick one since my memory of this beer is fading fast.
Bareback Blonde is a decent attempt at trying to put raspberries into beer. And really, only a blonde ale can handle that kind of fruity flavor and come out the other end not tasting like garbage. This beer tries valiantly to not succumb to being just a fruit beer. But it doesn't completely succeed. Sometimes it tastes like a beer, sometimes it tastes like raspberries. It's not a bad taste, just not one you want for more than one pint. Course, if there's a better raspberry beer out there, I haven't found it yet.
2 1/2 out of 4 stars. Would buy the pint.

Everton are keeping close tabs on Bristol City's Aden Flint as they target a replacement for John Stones, according to a report.
West Brom and Aston Villa are also tracking Flint, 26, who stands at an imposing 6ft 6in.
According to the Sun, the Bristol City centre-back is rated in the £2.5million bracket by his club after establishing himself as mainstay for the Championship team.
Former non-league defender Flint clocked up his 100th consecutive appearance for the Robins on Tuesday night in their 1-1 draw with Rotherham at Ashton Gate.
Some weeks ago, Johnson claimed that of Flint has all the qualities to be a Premier League defender.
Everton manager Roberto Martinez is said to regard Flint as a possible replacement for England international John Stones, who is a £40million-plus target for Chelsea, Manchester City and Manchester United.

For owners bemoaning Al-Ram's bad start, it could be worse. You could have Whore-Ram (Horacio Ramirez). (BTW, only fantasy baseball could convince a straight man that a Man-Ram is more preferable to a Whore-Ram. BTW II, How do you go from a Whore-Ram to a Man-Ram? An Ass-Cab (Asdrubal Cabrera).) Or you could have Ram-Ram. (Boston's Ramon Ramirez who, actually, is 1-0 with 8 scoreless innings…damn Ram-Ram!) The one good thing you can say about Our Comrad Alexei's start so far is at least he's in the bottom of the order so he's not getting as many at-bats. There hasn't been a disaster this bad since Cuba's Ministry of Age Obfuscation (MAO) was hacked into by a 9 year-old Miami boy and revealed Orlando Hernandez was a veteran of the Spanish-American War. Batting .125, hacking at everything, not one steal attempt, not one extra base hit…. Willie Bloomquist looks like a worthy replacement. Shoot, I'd take William Rehnquist at this point. Give me liberty, just don't give me Alexei Ramirez. Right? Wrong. There's few players that are more of a Buy right now.
Alexei Ramirez is a free swinger like that guy down the hall from you with the S & M ball gag. He doesn't see many pitches he doesn't like, which makes him susceptible to slumps. You know when else he was in a slump? Last April he hit .138 with no steals or home runs. Looks like someone likes the heat. So you drafted a guy in the 4th round this year who had a miserable April last year and you want to get rid of him when he goes out and does the same thing? Shame on you. Alexei – We raise our glass of Vodka (with crushed mint leaves and fresh lemon juice) and have faith you will make us proud.

The independent video game studio known as Red Prawn Games have released their debut music album, the official "Robot Wasteland Game Soundtrack." The album lies somewhere between an EP and an LP record, having 12 original tracks for an approximate total listening time of over half an hour. Dark, grim, futuristic and entirely immersive, the "Robot Wasteland Game Soundtrack" by Red Prawn Games is an excellent example of the ultra-high quality of music composition in today's new golden age of video gaming.
Red Prawn's "Robot Wasteland" OST is the brainchild of up-and-coming composer Przemyslaw Ksiazek, popularly known by his professional name, Ksamus. Music by Ksamus tends toward the ambient and electronic, very much alive, with sweeping waves of sound which form towering crescendos and sprawling sonic landscapes the mind can easily envision as if pictures were being painted on the canvas of one's imagination. It is the creativity of Ksamus the music fan is hearing, though, which makes it more than likely that the world will be hearing much more from this musician over the next few months and years.
Ksamus cites as main artistic influences J.M. Jarre, Kraftwerk, Vangelis, Klaus Schultze, and Daft Punk.
Asked to comment on Ksamus' work on the background score for their game, Red Prawn writes, "The 'Robot Wasteland' album is by far our best creation music-wise. If successful, we will certainly make more music in the future … Ksamus did a marvelous job composing all the pieces and accurately reflecting the game's mood and climate."
Red Prawn describes their artistic aims by saying, "Red Prawn Games is an independent game development studio. We make games for smartphones and tablets. We always strive for the best possible quality, and that includes the sound-effects layer as well as the music background."
The "Robot Wasteland Game Soundtrack" by Red Prawn Games and composed by Ksamus is available online worldwide beginning 22 May 2015.

The first example of email can be found on computers at MIT in a program called MAILBOX, all the way back in 1965. Besides its advantages of sharing fast and in a direct way, there are several studies stating that average office workers receiving 110 messages a day. Given the fact that every interruption takes 20 minutes to get back, this is a major distraction and also adds to the overall stress.
I asked myself isn't there a smarter way to communicate (discuss, argue, debate) at work? This is what I'm going through in this article.
