Hours before announcing the death of Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, Venezuelan officials expelled two members of U.S. embassy personnel and said "historic enemies" were to blame for Chavez's cancer.
The two U.S. embassy officials–U.S. Col. David Delmonico and an unnamed member of the U.S. Air Force–were given 24 hours to get out of the country.
Both were accused of trying to "destabilize" Venezuela by allegedly attempting to recruit members of the Venezuelan military to be part of some U.S. led conspiracy.
Venezuelan Vice President Nicolas Maduro appeared on television to say, "Behind all the plots are the enemies of the fatherland." And he said the U.S., in particular, had tried to created "an anti-Venezuelan climate."
Similar accusations were made against the U.S. in December 2011, when Chavez suggested that a technology "created by the U.S." might have been used to induce his cancer to begin with.

"I think I just made a pretty big mistake"
Why? (Besides So Suckers Like Me and You Can Blow This Out of Proportion)
Five reasons (apparently there are 150):
1. "You stole Roc-A-Fella from Dame."
2. "You stole Kanye from Dame."
3. "You stole Rocawear from Dame."
4. "I seen that nigga throw that diamond up before them shots was fired."
5. "How's the King of New York rocking sandals with jeans?"
The track's called "You Got It" or "You Got to Love it" or "You Gotta Love it" depending on what you read, close to eight minutes, plastic Dipset horn synths, with a bunch of good media tie-ins, including Killa Season in April and a March XXL cover story in which Cam addresses #s 1-3 so he can concentrate on #5 here and, among other things, make mathematical errors w/r/t Jay's age and HRC.
The audacity is the appeal here, I guess, slaying the sacred cow or whatever, and good for these two businessmen to push hip-hop's wrestlemania=$$$ buttons, because they totally still work, yeah man. Also Hand it to Cam for realizing before the rest of us (not) that Jay-Z looks like Joe Camel, and "Tell O. Jay-Z chill, Cochran is dead" will on-board anybody who's still a little angry about The Chase interrupting that super-tense Duke game.
That's it, really–otherwise this track's some really sad, pathetic shit from Killa, still sour grapes over vetoed VP and Prez appointments, but even that's not something we get off the diss. No, this is about calling Jay-Z a bad dresser. This is about saying "you ugly, dog" and bringing up pre-Reasonable Doubt days, "you Jaz-O's son" (who cares?). Worst, potentially the most ridiculous thing Cam's ever said, this is about complaining how Jay-Z, a rapper, stole lines from Biggie–decrying the sample (both quote and sound) after we've been through this discussion, like, a billion times, not to mention that Cam is also technically a rapper. He might as well bring up how baby Jay-Z used to shit his diaper.
Sit it in a pamper!
Already I've been told by a few people not to be curmudgeonly about this, not to flip out because the track's "not clever enough for you, Sylvester." In other words, this isn't a rap, it's a commercial, and how good/thought-out the track is comes second to how successfully the track puts Cam back into public consciousness.
Sorry assholes, this ain't Cnet, and even if it was Cnet, this track is bad product, phoned-in, cobbled together, poorly edited, with mistakes and stumbles ("slam… grand slam your ass, pardon me") so painfully audible you really have to wonder–if Cam's really angry about Jay-Z, sitting on all this bile for years now, couldn't he have put something together a little nastier? "You got anthrax over there, and we George Bush." Really? Rewind six months, Game got kicked out of G-Unit, and even he put together something with bigger teeth, more interesting, and yes, "clever" and "interesting" and all the other words people who give a shit use when they mean that a record transcends its productness and becomes *cough* art.
Bad beginnings, and according to Cam there are going to be 15 rounds, a "Trapped in the Closet 2006" for the "streets" (the internet). "I don't respect my elders / I respect the hustlers plus the grinders and the sellers"–but for two rappers who take turns inciting Blogtown's late-night elephant walks with new tracks and features, I expect much more of a style war, clash of ideologies, less Beyonce. I wouldn't be surprised if Jay avoids this entirely–so half-assed a diss doesn't deserve a reply.
The night's early, but I still haven't seen anybody say a single thing about Cam's Reason #4–the second time he's spoken about the DC shooting, incriminating Jay-Z maybe? As the track played on I was hoping Cam would have more on that, since that's a potentially huge development in a story he's been curiously mum on. A revelation like that would have exonerated so mediocre a diss, but Cam never gets back to it, probably because there's nothing to it anyway. The suggestion of it is enough though. He's throwing it all out there, hoping something strikes the right nerve, and guess what, something probably will, and we'll all eagerly await the response, and we're all the lamer for it.

December 19, 2007.
Not a landmark day in history. If you look at what happened on that day, you will come up with two notable events:
- Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II became the oldest ever monarch of the UK, surpassing Queen Victoria, who lived 81 years, 7 months and 29 days.
- The painting "Portrait of Suzanne Bloch" (1904), by Pablo Picasso, was stolen from the Sao Paulo Museum of Art.
A pretty boring news day. Nothing notable in the stock market, and nothing of note in the headlines. In fact, the day almost got away from me. It wasn't until that evening when I realized its significance. December 19, 2007, is the day I outlived my dad.
Let Me Introduce You
Let's take a step back and allow me to introduce you to my dad. William B. Hodges, MD, (who went by "Bill" or "Dr. Bill" depending on how you knew him) was born on May 9, 1941, nearly seven months before the US was thrown into World War II. He grew up in Earle, Arkansas where his dad was the superintendent of schools. He did his undergraduate work at ASU (using the slide rule you see below….complete with belt case).
He attended University of Tennessee Medical school. He was a Family Practice doc (long before the "Internal Medicine" name was cool). He wore a pager the size of a cable converter box. He practiced medicine at his clinic in North Little Rock, and at "Old" Memorial Hospital, "Old" Baptist downtown and at Children's Hospital. One of his favorite phrases was "God Heals, and the Doctor takes the fee."
Annnnndddd…. like many of us, he bought all manner of workout equipment that never got used.
He was a Deacon at the Levy congregation, and he made it his business to try and be used by God as a healer of both body and soul. I heard people compliment him for years about how he loved his patients. I still occasionally enjoy the blessing of running into one of his former patients.
But to me, he was just "Papa." I saw him as a spiritual leader both in our household and at church. At 6'4", 220 pounds, one learned to obey rather than to learn his belief that a belt could distinctly change one's behavior. He never spared a good whipping when we needed it….and, yes, he had "The Belt." You know the one. The Belt that only comes your way when you have been warned. The one that is still seared into my consciousness. "Time Out" had not been invented yet, and he wouldn't have used it anyway. Three licks was a cure for bad behavior, and I am not scarred from it (well, not too badly).
He was a Captain in the Air Force and was honorably discharged after his deployment to the Canal zone (Panama). The reason for discharge? Back in 1967 while on active duty, he was diagnosed with Hodgkin's disease – the illness that would eventually kill him (and a cancer that today has one of the highest cure rates). There was not a lot known about the disease at the time, and the flight surgeons recommended that my mother terminate her pregnancy once they learned of it. They were unsure if there could be genetic defects. (Given that she was pregnant with me at the time, I am thankful they didn't go that route.)
And then the World Stood Still
He lived in remission for much of my childhood. I do recall him "going for treatments." Whenever he "went to the VA for a treatment," we would stay at my grandparents overnight. I didn't understand. I didn't get it. And I didn't quite fully appreciate how to enjoy every day I could with him.
On August 22, 1980 – 13 days before I turned 12 – my dad passed away. I knew he was bad, but how "bad off" can a parent be to an 11-year-old kid? The day before he passed, while I was out playing in the front yard after school, two of the Levy Elders arrived at my house. They pulled me aside, and delivered the news "your dad has taken a turn for the worse."
Let me remind you I was 11.
I had no clue what that phrase meant, but as they gave me one of my first crash-courses in Shepherding, they tried to explain. They used phrases like:
"Your mom is really going to need you to help-out."
"You need to be a leader for the family."
Did I mention I was 11?
I walked inside the house not knowing what to do or say. I felt shelled. Hollow. And I prayed. Not because I was a spiritual giant. Not because I was pious. Not even really because I believed anything would change. I prayed because I was completely emptied-out. I wish I could remember what I prayed, but I don't. I am convinced God heard me, though.
Back to 12/19/2007
Let's return to our date in recent history. My dad lived to be 39 years, 3 months and 15 days old. In those 14,352 days, he grew up, completed school, graduated medical school, established a practice, helped countless patients, and made it his business to be evangelistic. He was constantly talking about "personal work," the business of teaching others about Jesus. His parents were proud. They also never dreamed they would live to bury him, as no parents ever should.
December 19, 2007, was my 14,353rd day of life. It was an odd feeling to have outlived my father – especially since he died so young. I have been blessed to have grown in the shadow of such a Godly man. I didn't even get 12 years with him, and if you figure the first 2-3 years are a bit hazy for anyone to remember, I had a pretty short run. His impact on me in less than 12-years has had a life-long impact, though. Even after his death, it drove me to a relationship with God I probably would never have otherwise. I was faced with a decision as a kid to own my own faith. I hate the way I was forced into that decision, but I am thankful for the result.
Years ago people would say things like "God has a plan" and "Someday we'll understand why." We might have even sung "We'll understand it all by and by."
But "understanding it" hasn't happened yet.
He's been gone nearly 37 years and I still don't have the answers. The words and phrases are nice, but they have always been empty to me. God does have a plan, and sometimes he reveals it. I have learned, though, there are blessings even when I don't know the plan. I have also learned that sometimes not knowing the plan in itself is a blessing. I cannot help but see in my father's life the reality of Proverbs 20:7
The righteous man walks in his integrity; his children are blessed after him.
Father's Day
Father's day used to be one of the most depressing days on record for me. It was a time to remember what I didn't get to enjoy. It hurt.
It took on a new meaning as I had kids. I actually enjoy it now. I view it as a gift – not just for the little amount of time I had with my dad, but for the wonderful amount of time God has allowed me to be a dad. When it comes to being a dad, I feel like I am completely underwhelming. I know I am not even on the same planet, much less in the same league, as my dad. It is a nice reminder, though, of what I can aspire to be.
For Father's day 2017, enjoy your dad if you still have him; and be thankful for what you had if you don't. Pleasant Valley is a place where I see a lot of "real" dads. Dads who make mistakes and own them. Dads who would go to the wall for their family. And Dads who desperately want to be continually shaped into men of God.
I am blessed to serve with a group of Elders who are amazing dads in their own right. I see men who have stepped-up to serve as Deacons while still working to sharpen their families and children into what God desires. I am blessed to be able to look to so many of you who have raised families (and often times seek some of your advice – and you KNOW who you are).
Sadly, not every family situation is positive or has happy "dad" memories. Humanity has a long history of dad wounds in broken families, and it is a sad reality of the time in which we live.
One thing is certain, though. It is a lesson I learned starting back in 1980, and I continue to be reminded of today – we have a Father who loves us and has promised he will never leave us. No matter what happens, and no matter what we face or whether we understand it or not, we all have a Father to celebrate this weekend.

Johnson & Johnson is getting ready to release a new drug to treat Hepatitis C. Early clinical trials meet FDA safety profile standards and should be approved after further studies. The new drug, simeprevir, was used in trials to treat patients who did not respond to previous interferon-based therapy or who had not received prior treatment. This new drug would be the first oral treatment that would allow patients to forego injection treatment. The current interferon injection treatments are difficult to tolerate and do not work for all patients. Other pharmaceutical companies are also working on trials of new oral drugs to treat Hepatitis C.

Window OF NAVIGATION TERMS
There are many reasons for you to learn and understand the fundamentals of kayak navigation and implement them into your trip plan. The art and science of navigation is an ancient one, utilizing simple tools that are readily available.
Using a chart and compass will allow you to find your way through unfamiliar territory and complicated waterways with lots of islands, coves and peninsulas. Such areas possess extraordinary kayaking views and adventures to the paddler familiar with navigation basics.
You will also be able to determine your position and direction of travel in fog, night, and low visibility due to heavy rain. At any time you will be able to know where you are and communicate that to any one who may to need to know. You could use GPS devices to achieve these goals, but electronics are not necessarily able to hold up in wet environments, particularly salty ones. Batteries often fail or are forgotten. The use of a good chart or map is still necessary to clearly understand the "lay of the land." Any sensible outdoors person will carry a compass; why not know how to use it? GPS has great applications, and I am not discounting their use, but this article does not contain information on how to use them.
You will need, as pictured above:
Keeping these simple tools in mind, let me now introduce you to the basic principles involved with good kayak navigation.
CHART VS. MAP - Kayakers, being amphibious, will be able to utilize both charts and topographical maps in planning and enjoying their voyage. What are the differences and advantages?
A chart is a map for nautical use. A chart will detail information that is of interest to mariners, such as water depth, rocks, wrecks, shoreline terrain; and aids to navigation, such as buoys or lights.
A chart utilizes a "compass rose" consisting of three concentric rings showing all 360 degrees, like a round protractor; the outer one oriented for true north, the middle one for magnetic north.
The innermost ring shows all the compass points, north, east, south and west, etc, just like a compass, without the abbreviations. As kayakers we will want to use the middle ring for numerical magnetic "bearings."
Distances can be measured on a chart using the "scale" (in nautical miles) or the "latitude scale" along the right and left borders of the chart, NOT the longitude, top and bottom. A nautical mile (abbreviated as NM or nm) is equal to 1.15 statute miles or 1.85 kilometers. There is not that much difference but it can add up fast and give you problems if you are not aware of the difference.
Chart #1 is the "chart" that is the legend or key to all the symbols, abbreviations and features that are shown as drawings on any marine chart. By getting this "Chart #1" you will be able to better understand the codes marked next to buoys and lights, and the difference between a sand beach and a rocky beach. Charts, and Chart #1, can be obtained at many marine supply stores. Also check our Resources & Links for this article.
TOPO MAPS: You can now order water-proof topo maps on-line. See "MyTopo"
A "topographical map" will detail information that is of interest to landlubbers. Topographical maps will show the contours of the land in great detail, roads, trails, springs and "non navigable" (to ships and large power boats) waters that may not be detailed on charts.
This type of map may be the only kind available for inland lakes and rivers. A topo map will also show the declination (or difference) of true north and magnetic north, depicted as an angle. There is however no compass rose.
A topo map has a scale like any other map, and it is in statute miles, just like the ones we use while driving. To make measurements of distance on any map or chart, use a ruler, your fingers or the measuring edge of a compass. Make a measurement of your route and compare to the scale or vise versa. While at home, not in the field, you could use dividers or a compass (the kind you draw circles with) as a measuring instrument. Topo maps have a legend in a separate publication called "Guide to topographic map symbols." You can use this to better understand the symbols, and abbreviation and read your topo maps.
Topo maps and The Guide To Topographic Map Symbols can be obtained at many outdoor and map stores. Also check the Resources & Links for this article.
True north is the direction to the geographical top of the earth, aka the North Pole. Magnetic north is an area of strong magnetic attraction that is near the North Pole, in Canada. The magnetic north pole is just like an end of a magnet, with the Earth being a very large magnet. Because the true North Pole and the magnetic north pole are close, but in two different places on the globe there is almost always a difference between true north and magnetic north compass bearings. This can be as much as twenty degrees or more in some places. In Northeast America this is usually about fifteen degrees. In the mid west and southern states the numbers are small, zero to ten degrees. On the west coast variation (at sea, charts) or declination (on land, topo maps) is about fifteen to twenty degrees. Check the area you are in carefully for the declination.
A compass will always point to magnetic north. As a kayaker magnetic north will be the way you will record compass bearings. Compasses come in a variety of styles. A pocket or hand held compass is the most common. This variety should have a strait edge and a rotating dial called an azimuth ring. A pocket compass is very handy to have in your PFD pocket.
A deck-mounted compass is the best for a kayaker to have. It will mount on your kayaks bow deck in a position that you can easily see. It will tell you what direction your kayak is pointed in by displaying the compass degrees to the rider in the cockpit.
Other compasses will have features that allow you to sight a more accurate reading. They can be very useful, but as kayakers we will tend to round off our readings (to the nearest five degree mark) to utilize easy to see and use numbers.
Any compass can be strongly affected by metal nearby. Your compass needle will not be accurate if there is any iron containing metal in close proximity. When using a hand held compass check to make sure your pocketknife is not too close. When loading your kayak make sure that the cargo nearest to your deck-mounted compass does not contain a cast iron fry pan. When in doubt about an item that may affect your compass, slowly bring it near the compass and see if it causes the needle to move. This will tell you how far away to stow that item and if it indeed will affect the compass.
(Chart in this section courtesy of Bradshaws & Assoc.)
Parallel rulers are a tool that is used to plot a course on a chart
using the chart's compass rose. The parallel rules consists of two
rulers that are connected by hinges. They are used to draw two perfectly
parallel lines far apart from each other, on your chart. You will
likely use the parallel rules, at home, while planing your trip,
because their use on the deck of a kayak is impractical. The goal
is to draw lines on your map representing the legs of your journey
and to transfer those lines to the compass rose in order to obtain
compass courses that can be notated on your map.
Place your parallel rules on that line and draw the line right on your map using the strait edge of the ruler. Without moving the ruler from your line, hold one rule firmly in place, while you slide the other rule over to the compass rose. Hold the rule, that you have just moved, down firmly and then slide the other rule to catch up with the first. You will have to slide one rule at a time to walk them over to the compass rose. Once you have reached the compass rose align the strait edge through the center of the rose and draw a line right trough it.
(Use a pencil and you can erase later if you wish, but this will make it easy for now.) Always hold one rule down firmly while you move the other rule so that the line on your compass rose is perfectly parallel to the line representing your intended route. This may take some practice to walk the rules across the map.
Follow the line from the center of the rose in that direction to the middle ring marked "Magnetic." Find the number closest to the line. It is best to round up or down to the nearest five degrees. Your deck-mounted compass will likely show only the spots every five degrees. Write that number next to the line on the map that represents your route. You may want to put the letter M next to that number to indicate that it is a magnetic compass bearing as opposed to a true north bearing. Find other straight legs of your journey and do the same for each leg. This will help you navigate across the large open areas of water, where you will be most susceptible to low visibility or an inability to determine islands, and peninsulas from shoreline in the background.
Be careful about determining the correct bearing from the compass rose. It is easy to mistakenly record the complete opposite bearing, such as 180 degrees instead of 0 degrees, which would be the difference between south and north, or 270 degrees in stead of 90 degrees, which would be the difference between west and east.
It is, however, practical to know what the opposite direction is, called a "back bearing." There are circumstances where you may want to make an about face and turn back the way you came to escape bad weather, find a slow kayaker, or retrieve a forgotten item on the last beach. If you are good with numbers this will be a snap, but if you are unfamiliar with navigation you may want to indicate the back bearing next to your line of travel on your map.
You will encounter portions of your route that will not be strait. These will generally be along coastlines, or around islands. It is impractical to determine a multitude of compass bearings to describe a curved line. You will use coastlines and landmarks along these areas to help you navigate, if the weather is clear enough to see. If you are paddling in poor visibility you will want to use other aids. The sound of the waves can help you determine where shore and shallows are. Buoys, bells, lights and foghorns can help you pin point where you are if using a chart. Attention to your speed, distance traveled and direction will be important in these situations.
You can use your topo map in the same manner. You won't have a compass rose to use, but you can improvise with a protractor; even draw a compass rose on the map, carefully to match the orientation. Make sure you are using the right declination. The magnetic ring of the rose is all you will need.

Here I am, racing against time again. Racing to beat the inevitable deadline. Racing to beat this tired headache behind my eyes to accomplish this little challenge that's become so important to me. Racing to beat your expectations of what I'll write. Racing to beat my own expectations.
For days I've been thinking, My last post of this 30-Day Blog Challenge is going to blow them away. I threw around ideas to bring it to a perfect ending. But then it hit me, as I sit here tapping the keys at 11:40 p.m.: This is a beginning, not an ending. What's the rush? Instead of throwing together an incomplete idea about a very complicated subject just to beat the clock, I'm going to let it simmer and write it well in a couple of days when I have time to tell you the truth. The truth according to Melissa. I mean, that's what this is anyway, right? My truth is relative to me.
On June 15, I wrote in my post "Accountability" that I heard a voice tell me to "build it and they will come." Since that day, my hits have increased exponentially. At the time of this writing, I've had a total of 1,366 hits in 30 days. For you experienced bloggers, that number will sound pathetic. But to me, it's a testament to God's promises. I'm only laying the groundwork right now. Haven't even begun, really.
So now the race gets a little bit faster. A little bit more difficult. I have a set speed to beat. And we know how I respond to challenges …

Heppie (as the locals call it) is gone. Again. Founded in 1889 by Sam Heppenstall and established in 1960 as Heppenstall Europe in Switzerland (there it is, that's why I like this place so much!), the ownership of the Heppenstall Designs and Manufacturing Knowledge was transferred to Heppenstall Europe in 1979. Now they finally took down the sign too, what a shame! I'm pretty sure that these letters will end up in a nice Wall Street bar in boutique New York as real work turns into decoration these days.

In order to sustain nutrition of a growing world population and at the same time save fertilizer and water input into agricultural systems we have to look under the soil surface and investigate roots. By understanding natural possibilities of resource efficiency or even resistance to nutritional deficiencies we can identify useful traits and possibly shed light on underlying molecular mechanisms.
During my PhD at the Universities of Tübingen and Bonn I worked on root hair formation on maize roots, in particular the genetic and molecular dissection of their development by characterizing mutants defective in root hair production. Thereafter I joined a lab in Japan investigating rice roots in response to nutrient stresses enabled by a Post-Doc scholarship. Within this project I concentrated on physiological responses of rice roots to soil conditions, mainly P deficiency. Returning to Germany, I joined the newly formed root dynamics group of IBG-2 at Forschungszentrum Jülich in April of 2016. After investigating root and root hair development in maize and rice my research focus is now on sorghum roots in response to abtiotic stress environments. This project is mainly related to insufficient water supply and how different genotypes respond to this stress situation. I am interested in physiological responses in terms of natural variation in root system growth and its composition, as well as mechanistic and molecular basics of these reactions.

Members of the Massachusetts Conference Staff involved with the tornado relief effort sent out the following email update on June 28:
Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
Jesus reminds us that it is within 'the least of these' that we minister to Christ. You have done so generously! To date, we have received $48,038.66 in funds for tornado relief from the collections in our churches and at our MACUCC Annual Meeting. In addition, many folks have sent along generous checks to the UCC Spring Storm Appeal that are helping us minister to people here and throughout the country during a season of an unprecedented number of disasters.
Because of your ongoing support through OCWM and fellowship dues, we have the staffing and infrastructure in place to move your gifts right to the places of greatest need.
To date, there is an estimate of 3,000 homes damaged by the tornadoes here in Massachusetts that stretched from Springfield to Charlton:
Nearly 200 were totally destroyed.
Over 500 sustained severe damage.
Over 8,000 insurance claims have already been submitted.
25% of the homes did not have insurance or tornado coverage.
Our experience with disasters over the years tells us that 5% of the affected homes will have unmet needs after going through the process of assistance from insurance, state and federal support. This same 5% will likely be 'the least of these'; the most vulnerable of our neighbors who struggle with financial, physical, emotional and health concerns. The funds you have shared with us will go to help these folks. We will focus on three areas:
As the financial and emotional long term impact becomes clearer these percentages may be adjusted, but the categories will remain the same.
Visit our website to submit a donation for Massachusetts tornado recovery. Or donate to the national storm appeal. For recovery updates and information on other ways to help, visit our Massachusetts Tornado Response Page.
Thank you again for your generosity.

Don Remick, Jim Tilbe, Mass Conference UCC Disaster Resource Coordinators
Jill Graham, Peter Wells and Andy Gustafson, Associate Conference Ministers

As one of the new Fiends of Trasharama it is my honour and duty to inform you that the infamous Trasharama-a-Go-Go Film Festival is stalking movies for its fourteenth year of screenings across Australia. It's been a long three-year hiatus but now it'll be bigger and more ugly than ever as they're now in evil alliance with Monster Pictures' Monsterfest!
Trasharama 2013 will be premiering in Hellbourne in November 2013, with other states and New Zealand to follow in the coming months.
The program showcases short films that come under the theme of "trash". This doesn't mean they're looking for movies that are rubbish; they are, in fact, looking for ambitious low-budget productions that are highly entertaining and come under the "cult" banner.
Films that highbrow mainstream cinema critics would call "trash" are welcomed at Trasharama. Think George Romero, early Peter Jackson, or the Pope of Puke John Waters. Don't think Driving Miss Daisy, unless Daisy is a psychotic man-eating alien transvestite!
The program is open to film veterans or virgins. Take that as you please. There are no limits on what films are screened but horror, blood, babes, animation, cheesy retro, weird documentaries, the offbeat and bizarre gets them going. They encourage originality, and they've found in the past that black humour with a twisted bent works well.
There will be prizes and awards - to be announced - for the best-judged films, with winners to be announced at the premiere screening of Monsterfest (date to be announced). One award they're particularly excited about is the Laurence Harvey Award, which will go to the most sick and twisted movie of the festival! If you're familiar with The Human Centipede II (Full Sequence) you'll know Laurence as the lovable but silent central character Martin Lomax. Laurence himself will be on hand for a word.
Deadline for entries is September 13th, 2013!
For all information on the festival, including entry forms and how to submit your film, head to our website Trasharama.
Also, check out Monster Pictures for all updates on Trasharama 2013 and this year's Monsterfest.

An imposing structure just to the west of the North Gate, its remarkable height has dominated the skyline since the war over a century ago, and serves to reassure the populace that they are forever protected from the barbaric raiders.
In actuality, it is part of a much bigger apparatus, with it being visible from both the tower on a hill twenty miles south of New Elysium and the one at the mountain pass to the north. It also has clear view of the tallest tree in Pelbarad, from which the elves can share intelligence. Though rarely called upon to act in the last decade or so, The Eerie is perpetually manned by one of three clerics, the most recognised being Justyn, and they are accompanied by at least two other persons.
There have recently been reports of increased activity in the foothills, but there is no evidence of an organised gathering.

how we serve: Inside the world of Touchstone
Touchstone provides leaders with a rare opportunity for supportive, spiritual friendships in which they are free to be broken and transparent. Touchstone has freed Norm Allen to explore his own brokenness and relationship with God, and has asked him to share his discoveries with others. In this context, men and women who lead from a place of power and strength can explore their weaknesses, need for God, each other, and moving closer to wholeness and health. Norm may help create the atmosphere for conversation but the most powerful conversations are among the friends as they share their ongoing joys and sorrows in long-term relationship. Read More
The Power of One-on-One
Norm Allen meets with leaders who may be in crisis, yearning for a contemplative experience or searching for meaningful friendships and connections with like-minded spiritual pilgrims. Each month brings an average of 30 or more appointments ranging from hour-long meetings to full day sessions. Nearly one-third of the leaders who request Norm Allen's time each month are those leading spiritual organizations, a group that Touchstone has discovered experiences a unique and profound need for spiritual support. This has created a community of conversation among many – Norm is one resource but our community is rich with wise friends who share the grace they have received.
The Power of a Group
Group meetings occur throughout the month at various venues, building an environment of trust, accountability, prayer, worship and support. Touchstone creates safe friendship-nurturing groups who meet regularly in a confidential environment to encourage each other in the journey to authenticity and spiritual health. Norm Allen hosts, visits and encourages groups, launching them on the path to becoming a safe place for deepening the spiritual lives of the leaders who meet together.
Retreats Away From Daily Responsibilities
Touchstone also hosts an average of 15 spiritual retreats annually. The key measurement for the health of a group is the conversations that occur among members when the group is not meeting – that is where real confidences and support are shared. Retreats are a time of being removed from noises of daily responsibilities - to share with friends, relax, receive teaching, enjoy quiet contemplation, to hear the voice of God.

If a student has an unavoidable conflict but is in a college that requires NevadaFIT, they must contact the NevadaFIT Office at (775)784-1193 to discuss an exemption or risk failing the course. Learn more about the NevadaFIT cancellation policy.
Communicating with your student. Your student will be participating in a rigorous, intensive program during the week of NevadaFIT, aiding in the transition to the rigor and intensity students are expected to perform during their time at the University. During the week of NevadaFIT, students are scheduled for many activities during the duration of the day and may not be readily available. Although students will have breaks throughout the day, keep in mind they are participating in NevadaFIT from early in the morning until late in the evening. If you need to reach your student in an emergency and you have not been able to communicate, please email firstname.lastname@example.com, or call the NevadaFIT Office at (775) 784-1193.
Saying goodbye. The Nevada FIT Check-in and Kick-Off Ceremony will be a busy time. Students will be seated with their college/program during the Kick-Off Ceremony, while families will be seated separately. Once the Kick-Off Ceremony commences, students will immediately join their program to begin NevadaFIT. We know it is important for families to have the time to say goodbye, so it is suggested that families take time before the Kick-Off Ceremony to say their goodbyes.
Still have questions?
We want to hear from you! If you have questions that are not addressed here, please let us know by emailing firstname.lastname@example.com so we can continue to add to our resources.

Is Oracle Team USA's boat faster? Or are they just sailing better? Or are Team New Zealand just not sailing well?
The answer is all of the above. However, there are other considerations which show Emirates Team New Zealand are still capable of grabbing that frustrating point.
Oracle have re-engineered their boat and are significantly faster than they were earlier in the regatta.
The best analysis suggests changes they may have made include:
Altering their wingsail so it has more of a twist in it, as Team NZ's does. This gives the boat more power.
Re-jigging their daggerboard systems and got it working perfectly.
Improving buoyancy of their bows, allowing them to skip over the water better and not be so bow-down.
Being more astute about setting their boat for the conditions.
This is one of the trickiest parts of the 34th America's Cup.
The teams do their weather forecasting and set up their boats accordingly and Oracle have been doing both things better lately.
Increasing acceleration to the first mark, giving them a head start in making it first to the vital bottom mark.
This has been apparent throughout the match but was best seen yesterday in race 15 when Dean Barker led Jimmy Spithill over the line but Oracle sprinted away to round the first mark three seconds ahead.
In boat handling terms, their biggest weakness was their tacking. That has now been corrected and they are highly competitive in that department.
Spithill is now also clearly out-thinking Barker in the starts.
The Kiwis have two port entries to the start box today and it will be vital for Barker to make a mark there. Literally.
In a day with tricky and flukey winds, the Oracle crew also did better picking the wind shifts and staying out of wind "holes" that see boats stop like a bicycle with a flat tyre.
But that's sailing - one day you are a wind wizard, the next a blowhard. Team New Zealand tactician Ray Davies found some big winds yesterday but also fell into some holes as Aotearoa two or three times seemed set to reel in Oracle.
So the lesson is that no one should be banging their head on the table and bemoaning that Oracle are set to make the comeback of the century.
They may well do - but here's what Team NZ have to do to win that last, final, elusive and heart-breaking point today:
Mode their boat for the conditions - expected to be 10-14 knots.
Win the start.
Be first to the bottom mark at the end of the downwind leg.
Pick the wind shifts better.

"I grew up in a small town in NE Washington where the timber industry provided the community with the best-paying jobs. I applied right out of high school, began working and learning our business."
"Finding the right people to join our team, and once we find them, getting them trained up. The timber industry isn't all manual labor positions as a lot of people believe. We have skilled positions we are trying to fill every day. Most of the time we are filling these positions within because we are unable to find people on the outside. This can be challenging if the need is immediate. However, training members of our own team also creates growth opportunities for the people working for us. I am an example of this type of opportunity."
"Seeing the mill operate well and our teams going home safely. Watching individual members of our team grow and succeed."
"A common misconception is that the lumber industry is no longer an important part of the modern, Oregon economy. That's not true at all. We take locally grown, renewable materials and turn them in the most environmentally-friendly building materials available. One hundred percent of the log is used when manufactured at our mill — what isn't turned into lumber is used for biofuel, pulp and paper, wood chips, etc. This industry is a great fit for Oregon and an important part of our local economy and broader conservation goals. We operate sustainably and employ thousands."
"Another misconception is sawmills are archaic. We incorporate a lot of new technology to get the most out of our resources. Sawmills aren't as hands on as they were decades ago, but it still takes a lot of skilled people to keep our machines and computers running smoothly."
"Environmental litigation has all but shut down our federal forests to timber harvest. It has been hard to watch those same forests wither away from bug infestation or burn up in massive wildfires. We need good, science-based management of our forests. At Hampton, our timberlands are managed sustainably for future generations. There seems to be a lot of misunderstanding about modern forest management and the importance of local wood manufacturing. Forests are special places and people should feel strongly about them. Natural resource management is complex and too important to too many people to be influenced by oversimplified arguments that insist modern forest management and environmental conservation are incompatible. I think both conservation and economic goals could be better advanced if we took the time to come together as a community to really listen and learn from the different stakeholders involved."
"When the mill was bought five years ago, Hampton invested in excess of $20 million to bring in some new equipment and technology in the sawmill to get the most value out of each log. A newer boiler with an enhanced pollution control system was also added. Since I have been here, we have done a lot of deferred maintenance and added a brand new dry kiln to increase the quality of the lumber we produce."
"Most of the expenditures in the last six months have been to increase the reliability of the back end of the sawmill. This will increase productivity on both shifts. This spring we are adding a new auto grading machine to the planer which will improve the grade recovery of our lumber."
"With the shortage of timber due to increasing restrictions on forestry and log exports to China, sawmills have to keep increasing technology to get more value out of every log. Many sawmills have closed in the last 20 years, so unless you are constantly improving your processes, investing in technology or employing the best people you will not be in the business going forward. I enjoy the challenge of the industry and the people I am fortunate enough to work with."
"We need the people in the urban areas to journey out to the rural areas and the forests and find out what is really going on. People living in the rural areas are environmentalists and have no interest in making all the forests go away."

January 2013 Favourites
Order from Left to Right
COSMED Facial Puffs (Cotton Pads)
These are my favourite type of cotton pads. It's not really cotton? not sure how to describe it properly. It features 100% air-laid, non-woven fabrics that leaves no lint on skin. I like that they are super soft and highly absorbent. I use them strictly for my face and not nails.
COSMED Facial Puffs (Cotton Pads)
Here's my journey with cotton pads (if you're interested): I usually buy cotton pads from Shiseido or Mannings HK because they are very soft but Shiseido is getting pricy for me and I can't buy Mannings here. So I started buying Dollarama cotton pads but it's too harsh, but it does a good job at exfoliating so I thought that's suitable for my nails only.
Anyway, if you're interested in these, you can find them at TNT Supermarkets for $2.99 - $4.99 depending if there's a promotion :) Origins from Taiwan.
Vasanti EYE WONDER
I continue to love this product! I reviewed it here in this post and I mentioned how it does wonder to my puffiness :) I'm about 2/3 done the jar so I might finish this product soon =)
I purchased this from Lisa's Cosmetics Sale here. Originally about 5 years ago, a good friend of mine gifted this to me. the stupid me thought it was for homme and passed it to my sister who's a fan to brand names anything. Then, that's when I'm like FML because I started liking it again. Anyway, I'm happy I bought it back! mwahhaa! I always get great feedback wearing it out =))
As I mentioned it in my haul post, mine is a tester/demonstration one, on the back it describes the notes of the fragrance! Pretty cool considering I am TERRIBLE at describing scents!
L'oreal Paris Telescopic Shocking Extensions Mascara in Blackest Black
During the month, I invited about 15 girls over to hang out and do make overs. This mascara was extremely impressive to many of them because it REALLY STRENGTHENED! As long as you curl your lashes really nice, you can see your lashes just grows soo freaking long before your eyes! I love using it on my bottom lashes, mwahha! Let me know if anyone is interested in a more detailed review!
Rohto Lycée Eye Wash Cleanse and Refresh Lotion
I bought it back in this a haul so long ago that I wonder if I even posted it out! Anyway, I don't use it as frequent as I should but this is my fave for a really long time now! Top 2 reasons why I use this is 1) I use cleansing oil to remove make up and when I don't clean it off too well, the remains blurs my vision. 2) When you have leftover eyeshadow bits or pigments in your eyes! This is just a few things that this lotion does - to clean it all out. And often times, I do see particles of shimmer that gets cleaned out before me!! Amazing isn't? I love this product so much! I might do a detail review of this product soon!
SILK PRO GreenLine Eyeliner/Brow brush
SILK PRO GreenLine Eyeliner/Brow brush
SILK PRO GreenLine Eyeliner/Brow brush
This is my recent love that I never experienced before! I finally started to actively do my brows. I know, crazy right?! Thanks to what my mama gave me, I'm very fortunate to have natural full brows. Not bushy or anything, as long as I don't mess up the plucking part, I'm pretty much set. However when I have full make up face on, I started to feel like something's missing so I filled my brows in and WA-LA!! This is the perfect brush for me to handle. LOVE!
This is my first attempt at MONTHLY SPARKLES!
I'm not sure if I will always be consistent with these, but when I do have a bunch of stuff I want to share, those posts will fall into this category =)
What do you guys think? Tried any of the above??

As per the agreement signed between CLP India and Suzlon Group, CLP India acquired 49% stake in SE Solar, a special purpose vehicle (SPV) set-up by Suzlon.
CLP India has the option to acquire the balance 51% in future. The project is expected to be commissioned by May 2017 and will be funded 80% by debt and 20% by equity.
Rajiv Mishra, Managing Director, CLP India, said, "We have been keen to invest in solar in India to complement our Wind portfolio, and have evaluated projects that will be value-enhancing for our shareholders, whilst being attractive for our customers. The Veltoor solar project meets both the criteria."
"Investments in both wind and solar have garnered traction owing to the improving cost competiveness enabled through technology advancements and the need to transition from fossil fuel dominated energy architecture," Tulsi Tanti, Chairman and Managing Director, Suzlon Group added.
The Veltoor solar project will aid CLP, one of the largest foreign investors in the Indian power sector, to meet its target of having 20% of power generated by renewable energy by 2020.
Suzlon acquired solar projects of 210 MW in Telangana through a competitive bidding process and the Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) for the same were signed in February, 2016
